Canada Post cuts delivery service MAYOR CAROL Leclerc says the announcement of Canada Post’s cost-saving end to door-to-door delivery as of next year came as a surprise when its officials requested a private meeting at the recent Federation of Canadian Municipalities convention in Edmonton. “I had no idea that this

was coming,” said Leclerc, who in April had signed a letter on behalf of city council asking Canada Post to send a representative to a council meeting to explain the impacts. The letter sprang from a request by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers which is trying to preserve

approximately 8,000 jobs across the country that are scheduled to be phased out as workers retire. But at the meeting with Canada Post officials at the Edmonton convention, the topic was not arranging a local representative to come present in Terrace, it was instead the announcement that

service would be ending. Leclerc also said that council supported the postal union position and was expecting more discussion. But Canada Post officials made it clear the union CUPW wasn’t about to derail their cost-saving plans, according to the mayor. “I was expecting them to

give their side of the story about the CUPW letter. So that’s why I was quite surprised, I had my head in a different area.” But Leclerc said she thinks the changes are necessary for a company that has gone from being the number one conveyor of letters to a predominantly parcel

service. “I am pleased that nobody is losing a job over it. I think it will bring neighbours together. I understand the need to modernize. I appreciate that Canada Post is ensuring feedback is available, that they are doing a survey.”

MORE DEFENDANTS have been added to a suit filed by a local man against the RCMP and one of its officers after he suffered a brain injury following an arrest made three years ago. But this time the addition of Mills Memorial Hospital, a local physician and a nurse came after a B.C. Supreme Court application made by the RCMP. In effect, while Robert Wright is suing the RCMP and Const. Brian Heideman for head injuries he said were the result of excessive force and for negligence in the way he was treated, the RCMP are now saying the medical staff on duty when Wright was brought to the hospital for treatment three times after being arrested in April 2012 are themselves negligent. “The crown defendants submit that [Wright’s] brain hemorrhage was caused or contributed to by the actions of the proposed third parties, Dr. [Christiaan] de Wit, nurse Jane Doe and [Mills Memorial Hospital], for failing to properly assess, diagnose and treat the plaintiff for his head injury,” reads a Supreme Court application first made by the RCMP last month and granted two weeks ago.

Prime Minister urged to improve services for aboriginal children By CECILE FAVRON “OUR DREAMS Matter Too,” a national walk and letter writing event for aboriginal equality, was held June 11 at George Little Park. Representatives from the Northwest Social Workers Branch, Knox United Church, Kermode Friendship Centre and other organizations walked from the park to mail letters to Prime Minister Stephen Harper asking that he do more for First Nations children. Organizer Robert Hart of the Northwest Social Workers Branch explained that this is the fourth annual event in Terrace and across the country organized by the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada.

“What we are doing is writing to Prime Minister Stephen Harper to remind him that, even though he apologized on behalf of Canada for residential schools, he never really did too much about that,” Hart explained, citing small budgets for social services. Harper authorized residential school cash settlements, Hart said, but he didn’t recognize that settlements don’t nearly address the social damage that was done by residential schools nor the social work that has to be done. “If Harper is going to apologize, he needs to make a social investment in [aboriginal] children,” Hart asserted. The caring society is a national agency that is working with First Nations people to

re-assert their rights and create a healthy home, education, and cultural environment. The society promoted more than 31 “Our Dreams Matter Too” walks across the country last year. Hart’s social services experience has made him especially sensitive to the injustices he believes that the First Nations people are continuing to suffer. “To be quite honest, we have been blatantly racist,” Hart said. “The Department of Indian Affairs simply underfunds everything. Kids in B.C. do comparably well because they go to public school, but in other areas of the country where there are isolated reserves [the department] is not funding them well.” His connection to the cause

came through Cindy Blackstock, the executive director of the caring society, a local woman of Gitxsan background. This prompted him to organize the walk and lettersending event in Terrace for each of the past four years. Hart said that he is not going to stop organizing the event in Terrace until substantial and long-term action is taken by the Canadian government to help aboriginal children. “This is not something that we should tolerate in Canada,” Hart contended. “We will continue until the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission are followed and until aboriginal kids have the same kind of opportunity as any other Canadian kid.”

Housing by the numbers

An expected housing development has been delayed By JOSH MASSEY IT WAS an emphatic press release from the City of Terrace issued the morning of May 28, 2014 under the heading “City of Terrace sells lands to Coast to Coast Holdings Ltd.” In it the city revealed it had sold a 2.4 acre lot it owned on the corner of Kenney and Park for $951,000 – double the minimum price it had set of $450,000 – to Calgary-based developer Coast to Coast Holdings. “The sale of this undeveloped land will help to provide more housing for our community,” stated then-mayor Dave Pernarowski in the release. But now, just over a year after the sale, the developer has delayed an awaited housing project indefinitely. “The production is on hold until the market economy is ready,” said Coast to Coast official Kim Gregoire in a short email statement last week. And with that announcement comes a halt, even if temporarily, to the City of Terrace’s cornerstone effort at being able to provide lower cost housing within its boundaries. That’s because the sale was carried out under the city policy of only selling certain of its lands to developers who said they would include a component of lower cost housing as part of any larger development. A 14-page bylaw which accompanied the land sale set out a requirement for 20 per cent of all apartments in the planned 105-unit complex to be rented at 20 per cent below normal market rates. But no timeline for development was stipulated in the sales agreement. Even last summer Coast to Coast announced it was shifting to a phased in approach, the first being two 12unit apartment buildings. Those buildings, which were never started, would have provided at least four lower

BUILDING MATERIAL and supplies collect on a large lot on the corner of Kenney and Park sold by the city to a developer with the hopes of constructing a number of housing units, including ones at below market rents. rent apartments, based on the bylaw adopted by city council. If actual construction of accommodation to be rented out at below market rates is on hold, there’s also been no action on another city effort at providing affordable housing. That was through the creation last November of an affordable housing fund using $500,000 of the sale proceeds of the Kenney and Park land sale. The idea was that the money could be used

for everything from buying land for housing to waiving service fees on development, to partnering with developers. So far, city councillor Stacey Tyers said no solid plan has been developed to use the money. “Nobody has approached us. We don’t have the staffing capacity to go out and actively encourage or get people to the table,” said Tyers. Along with councillor Lynne Christiansen, Tyers sits on the

city-sponsored housing committee. “If the proposal is good I can’t see any reason why we wouldn’t partner,” Tyers added of plans that might be submitted to the city. While Coast to Coast may not be building the expected affordable housing showcase as envisioned by the city, it has been involved in a project just north of the Park and Kenney property. Called Kenney Gardens because of its location on Kenney, the

six-unit higher-end townhouse development carries price tags starting at $339,000. Workers finishing at that location last week said the plan is to sell several of the townhouses before proceeding with one of the 12-unit apartment buildings on the Kenney and Park property. Materials on the Kenney and Park property are meant for framing one of the planned buildings, they said. Coast to Coast has also turned the Kenney and Park project over to a Quebec-based investment company with which it has a close business relationship. ROI Investments generally supplies the financing for construction-ready developments undertaken by Coast to Coast, ROI president Phillipe Germain said in January of this year. He had also expressed hope of starting at least a few of the planned 12-unit apartment buildings on Kenney and Park by this spring. German said then the company was drawn to the area by the prospect of growth spurred by a liquefied natural gas industry. ROI has also purchased land elsewhere in the city, including the parcel on Park that’s right to the east of the Park and Kenney corner lot. The company is promoting a 72-unit apartment complex there. The two locations housed the provincial highways ministry works yard And in Kitimat, eight 12-unit buildings are being planned. Workers at Kenney Gardens said last week they are poised to begin demolishing the current housing at the Kitimat site. But progress had been held up because of the three-month long Kitimat municipal worker strike which ended just last week. Gregoire, who speaks for ROI as well as for Coast to Coast, said ROI will provide an update on this project in September.

RELEASED EARLIER this year, a plan to improve the amount and quality of mostly rental housing for lower income people, seniors and those with specific needs contains 18 recommendations. Meant for the City of Terrace, the plan was financed by the Northern Development Initiative Trust and corporations with the assistance of the province. Here are those recommendations: REC 1: Call for more emergency shelter beds because the Ksan Society’s 16-bed emergency shelter reports that it is usually full 90-plus per cent of the year. This would require expanding or creating a new shelter. REC 2: Longer-term housing for women and children fleeing domestic violence. The Ksan Society has 14 beds intended for short term stays but they are often occupied for a longer period of time because no other housing is available. REC 3: Effort to partner with Terrace and District community services to build one or two homes to each house to six young adults. This will help create housing for youth between 19-24 who are too old to remain in foster care. REC 4: Promote programs that subsidize the retns of elderly people and others. And to change the criteria so that more people are eligible. REC 5: The provincial government should consider paying for a detailed study of the current housing situation of those with special needs. REC 6: The province and the city should consider working with Northwest Community College to acquire publicly-owned land for student residences. REC 7: Northwest Community College should consider establishing a housing registry for learners looking for housing and Terrace residents looking to rent them accommodation. REC 8: Offer financial incentives for homeowners who have secondary suites and who house people receiving rental assistance. Kitimat is currently doing. REC 9: The provincial BC Housing agency should continue to finance the salaries of workers to assist renters in finding accommodation if they feel they have been discriminated against and to provide guidance for renters who are in disputes with landlords. REC 10: Living out allowances paid by large companies bringing in workers for fixedterm projects should not be acceptable as this drives up overall rental costs. Block booking of hotels is preferred to block leasing of existing rental buildings. REC 11: Short stay hostel-type accommodation . The only such accommodation is at the college but that’s only available in July and August. This might be offered by a nonprofit group or by a for-profit enterprise. REC 12: Identify serviceable land for residential development. REC 13: Retrofit older buildings by promoting programs offering financial assistance for lower income seniors and lower income disabled people. REC 14: Also promote these above programs to property managers and landlords. REC 15: Promote the various financial assistance programs available for older adults. REC 16: The province and its various agencies and the city should consider paying for a study of seniors housing needs. REC 17: Real estate sales activity and rental rates should be monitored by the city through the B.C. Northern Real Estate Board and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. REC 18: Update the housing action plan in 2017.

EDITORIAL

Education OF all the 94 recommendations contained in the federal Truth and Reconciliation commission’s report outlining the history and effects of residential schools on aboriginal people in Canada, the most important relate to education. In its call for improved education for aboriginal peoples the commission is not alone. Studies over the years have pointed to the gap between educational opportunities for aboriginals compared to others. While much has been done (in B.C. the gap is closing between the percentage of aboriginal youth graduating from high school compared to other students) the overall result remains that a considerable number of Canadians are improperly prepared for the complex nature of modern society. Education is the great leveller of any society. From a common base of reading, writing, math, geography, knowledge of a country’s history and its peoples comes the opportunity for individual achievement and ultimately, success. Former Assembly of First Nations leader Shawn Atleo said as much in 2012: “When our young people do complete high school, they’re twice as likely to get a job. When they graduate from university, their earnings triple.” How to change the way things are now will continue to be the subject of debate and study. But to waste the potential of hundreds of thousands of Canadians cannot continue.

Her living room is her castle

n her memoir, Sister to Courage, Wanda Robson writes of their 1926 Halifax home having a “front room” with a parlour beyond. The term front room stirred memories of my early years on a Saskatchewan farm. Suddenly what had been an everyday designation in my childhood seemed odd. My carpenter grandfather who immigrated to Canada from Sweden in 1907, built our two-storey house with three bedrooms upstairs, one down, a kitchen, a sizeable pantry, and a front room. In our front room we listened to the console radio, read, played Monopoly, or visited with any relatives who came for several days.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI company, but with no way to drive herself hither or yon, we didn’t get to see how many of our counterparts lived. Consequently, I grew up with an insecurity complex thinking our home was “less than” that of our neighbours. I remember my classroom teacher visiting once to speak with Mom. I was mortified she’d witness the simplicity of our home: the homemade kitchen table with its linoleum top, the washstand with the hand basin. I had the notion others’ homes had running water and proper bathrooms. Little did I know. In truth in many ways we were better off, as I learned

during our school’s 50th reunion. That’s when I found out some of our classmates packed sandwiches spread only with lard . We had butter, real jams, peanut butter, honey, or meats like fried chicken or bologna. One way we were much better off was the condition of everything we owned. Upholstered furniture wasn’t threadbare. The piano had no chipped keys. (Plenty of farm families had no piano and couldn’t afford piano lessons.) Kitchen linoleum had no worn patches showing lumber underneath. The front room, though, embarrassed me for its several braided rugs and one long runner from kitchen to hall leading upstairs. Lacking a vacuum cleaner, those rugs were my biggest chore every Saturday. In a tight circle around a small central table stood my Craig piano, the Philco radio, a buffet with a full width mirror harbouring Mom’s special occasion dishes, a wind-up gramophone anchored by a formidable collection of vinyl records from Harry Lauder to Wilf Carter, its top hidden by a sprawling Christmas cactus older than I was, an uphol-

stered sofa and two matching chairs. Although in perfect condition, Mom kept them covered by washable Navaho blankets, a welcome touch in winter. High above the sofa a wide window of stained glass in a fan design of blues, greens, reds and yellows lent the room a glow when morning sun beamed through. Through the other window, facing south, sunshine peeked past a windowsill of blooming geraniums. The room was unpretentious, but everything in it was in good condition, paid for, nothing threadbare, dented or broken. Google “front room” and you’ll find it’s another way of saying living room, sitting room, or parlour. The Geffrye Museum in London defines front room as “a symbol of status and respectability, announcing that no matter how poor you were, if the front room looked good then you were ‘decent’ people.” Looking back I appreciate our parents taught us to live within our means and care for our possessions.

The Mail Bag RTA owners take notice An open letter to: Rio Tinto Alcan Shareholders

CAMERON ORR PHOTO

LUCY MCRAE and Breanne Wilken, having just presented a petition to Rio Tinto Alcan to install scrubbers in its new smokestacks at its rebuilt smelter to capture S02 before it goes into the air.

S02 scrubbers do make sense

Dear Sir: We put on our shoes, we go outside to play. We admire the butterflies, and the birds. The trees, mountains and river. Amongst the river currents my little three year-old points at some pink salmon that swim by. I say “they are beautiful,

aren’t they?” She replies almost without thinking. “All life is beautiful mommy.” It was at that exact moment when my heart sunk into my stomach. My precious little three-year old, innocent and sweet, can see the beauty in

the ecosystem surrounding us. Alive, and healthy. The ecosystem that wouldn’t be this alive and healthy if Alcan had not installed scrubbers many decades ago. And the very same ecosystem that I hope my daughter can admire with her future

children. If older technology was capable of doing the right thing, why on earth isn’t the advanced technology capable of doing the same? Are we becoming more ignorant and selfish?

Hello: As the former Chief Medical Health Officer with Northern Health and a resident within the air shed Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA) is planning to use as a repository for the waste Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) its updated smelter in Kitimat will produce, I have watched the company’s management of this issue with great interest. RTA has been given a permit to emit up to 42 metric tonnes of SO2 into the air shed on a daily basis, up from the current permitted level of 27 metric tonnes per day. That’s a lot of sulphur dioxide! SO2 is toxic to humans at high doses but the jury is out as to the harm it does at lower ambient levels. Everyone agrees that SO2 air pollution can cause airway spasm, induce asthma attacks, worsen chronic bronchitis among people with pre-existing respiratory problems, and lower the threshold for exercise induced asthma. But it may be significantly more serious than that. Although the permit is currently the subject of an appeal, RTA was able to convince the B.C. Ministry of Environment that simply raising the height of its stacks would ensure that current permissible levels are seldom exceeded using a computer model of air dispersion based on data gathered mostly in 2008. Using the model, RTA consultants have created scenarios predicting likely peak exposure levels on the ground at a variety of sites in and around Kitimat and extending down the valley to Terrace. They have even attempted to predict the expected number of episodes of airway spasm based on crude population data in each of these sites of interest.

There’s far more to our history than white men

s we struggle to digest and honour the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, let’s shift our historical focus away from the white men we hold up as pioneers and think about the First Nations people who have been in our region since time immemorial. One of the reasons we have remained silent about residential school is because we have systematically marginalized aboriginal people and excluded them from our history. Look at Terrace. Our largest community festival is Riverboat Days, a celebration of the sternwheelers that brought early European settlers to the region. We don’t talk about how these settlers were able to pre-empt land in the region because traditional seasonal rounds to harvest fish and berries, as opposed to yearround settlement, were not recognized by the government, and so the entire region was considered vacant and in need of settlement. We don’t remember that settlement took place because First Nations communities had been decimated by introduced dis-

eases, including smallpox, which shrank their membership and shook their cultural foundations. We don’t think about how the First Nations people who survived were forced into tiny reservations chosen by the federal government, allowing the rest of the land to be considered ‘open’ for pre-emption. Instead of discussing these complex, difficult, critical subjects, our community celebrates George Little, the white man who pre-empted the land that became the core of Terrace. Sure, Little was an enterprising businessman who loomed large in the narrative of Terrace history, but does he deserve the sole weight of Terrace historical attention? Our town remembers Little through the preservation and central placement of his house (to the tune of over a million dollars in relocation and upkeep costs), through the naming of streets and parks, through a memorial at the crest of the Sportsplex hill, and through the constant mention of him in our local history narrative. So, let’s disrupt this narrative. Let’s remember Emma

GUEST COMMENT

KELSEY WIEBE and Charles Nelson, Tsimshian people of the robin, who lived in Kitsumkalum. Emma Nelson (née Starr) held a high name in the Gisbutwada (killer whale) clan, and was the matriarch of the important House of Lagaax. Her husband, Charles Nelson, who held the name Xpilaxha, was a leader of the Ganhada (raven) clan. The Nelsons assisted early European settlers through a general store ran out of Kitsumkalum. In

addition to providing food, hospitality, and local knowledge, the Nelsons invested in Little’s sawmill—apparently without recompense. Let’s remember Eliza Thornhill, née Wright, a high-ranking Gitselasu woman whose trapline edged what is now known as Sockeye Creek. In a fascinating demonstration of agency, Eliza claimed the land she would have traditionally been entitled to use between the two bridges through her English husband Tom Thornhill. As a white male, Tom was the kind of settler the government was looking for when they opened the area up for pre-emption. Eliza hunted, fished, and trapped on the land that became Thornhill. Tom grew a large vegetable and flower garden, selling produce to the sternwheelers that stopped at Thornhill Landing to pick up cordwood. Tom’s health was weak, and so Eliza, who had local knowledge anyway, took on the more traditionally masculine role in a pioneer couple. One of the few places in the

region named after an aboriginal woman – Eliza Creek – was officially renamed the relatively generic ‘Sockeye Creek’ by 1930. In 1978, pioneer historian Floyd Frank lamented the renaming of the creek, stating that ‘there’s only a few left that know these things.’ Without people to remember her, he implied, Eliza’s story would fade. When we fail to recognize – and celebrate – the depth and resilience of First Nations history in the Terrace region, we do ourselves a disservice. We also marginalize those stories, ensuring that First Nations people’s history is excluded from our community history. This allows us to disengage from the horror of residential schools, and to see First Nations people as outside of our community, as something other than us. This is what has led us to the present, where the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was necessary to bring to light the injustices that have been consistently meted against aboriginal people in Canada. Kelsey Wiebe is the curator of the Heritage Park Museum.

RTA owners take notice As part of the permitting process, RTA was required to consult with the public and in doing so they painted a reassuring picture suggesting that any human health effects from the increased SO2 emissions would be minimal and transient at worst. But I am far from reassured. I also understand that an air dispersion model is just a model: every conclusion based on the model, including projected SO2 levels and health effects no matter how many charts and graphs are created, is speculative and only as good as the model itself. Here are some of my concerns: 1. The air dispersion model does not factor in or consider the possible and probable impacts of climate change. Will the foreseeable future include hotter dryer summers with more frequent inversions and

less wind dispersion than in 2008? Will there be more forest fires in the Northwest with ambient smoke pollution interacting with and changing the characteristics and behaviour of emitted SO2 with respect to humans and the environment? At the very least, consideration of these possibilities could have expanded the range of predicted effects and improved the quality of the data by being more realistic about its uncertainty. 2. The RTA consultants have summarized the evolving science of SO2 toxicity according to the principle that “the absence of proof of an effect constitutes proof of no effect” and have confined the discussion to monitoring the relatively minor effects where causation is certain. However the US EPA Advisory Committee which is extensively

Scrubbers Money pinching to the point of putting my family, friends and beautiful home town at risk? It’s honestly a shame. Please, do the right thing. Install those scrubbers. Unless you truly believe the life of my children, and every other citizen in Kitimat, isn’t worth it. In that case, let’s just hope your conscience doesn’t eat you alive at night, once you have realized the damages you have caused. Breanne Wilken, Kitimat, B.C.

referred to in the Sulphur Dioxide Technical Assessment Report (STAR) prepared by the RTA consultants (p50, vol.2) states clearly that the evidence is insufficient to infer the presence or absence of a causal relationship between short term exposure to ambient SO2 and cardiovascular mortality as well as between long term exposure and respiratory disease mortality, non respiratory morbidity, and overall mortality. It occurs to me that a corporation wishing to promote tobacco use in the late 1940s would have likely produced a very similar scientific assessment acknowledging the relatively minor effects of throat irritation and cough while pointing to the lack of hard evidence in relation to the scourges of heart disease and lung cancer that took decades of research to confirm. 3. The consultants have neglected to consider the variability among the human receptors (people) who will be exposed to the SO2 emissions. It is well known that populations with different de-

mographics, social and economic status, and preexisting health status respond differently to the same levels of stress whether the stress is a toxin, a pollutant or a virus. There is much uncertainty in the current understanding of the health effects of long term exposure to ambient SO2 and there are good reasons to think that they may be more severe than the RTA consultants have predicted. It will be virtually impossible to adequately document or respond to these more serious and/or long term impacts given the small size of the population at risk. The effects are likely to be cumulative and the damage done long before it can be detected in a conclusive way. I urge you to ensure that the company you own takes this into consideration by installing the SO2 scrubbers that are needed to reliably protect the public’s health in relation to SO2 generated by the RTA smelter operation in Kitimat.

A FOOT-BRIDGE spanning the Nass River at Gitwinksihlkw in the Nass Valley offers scenic views for those so inclined to cross it.

Cafe to open in Nass village

THE NASS Valley village of Gitwinksihlkw, known for the pedestrian suspension bridge which spans the Nass River, will soon have a cafe and gift shop. The announcement follows a successful application made to the Nisga’a Lisims Government’s Nisga’a Business Development Fund

for $218,000 in support of the project. A modular building will be owned and leased by Gitwinksihlkw and the operation of the business will be by Gitwinksihlkw local entrepreneur Sally Nyce who currently operates a home-based business, indicates a Nisga’a Lisims press

release. Nyce was selected after the village asked for expressions of interest from members of the community. An excerpt from the village’s business plan describes the planned operation: “The Welcome House Café and Gifts will be a moderately

priced 20-seat café offering a small menu of indigenous inspired foods.” Specialty soups and sandwiches with weekly specials will be on the menu to meet the needs of the local communities. Local crafts and jams will be sold as part of the gift shop com-

ponent as well as the works of local carvers and artisans. Also in the works are plans to sell a line of clothing called Lizard Wear which takes its name from Gitwinksihlkw which translates as “people of the lizard’s habitat.” This won’t be the first time a cafe has op-

erated in Gitwinksihlkw – a previous venture adjacent to the suspension bridge is now home to the Wilp Wilxo’oskwhl Nisga’a Institute, the post secondary institution in the Nass Valley. The pedestrian-only 400-foot long suspension bridge crossing the Nass River was at one time the primary con-

nection to and from Gitwinksihlkw which is located on the north side of the river. All matter of goods and supplies were walked across. A pedestrian-only bridge has existed at the location for approximately 400 years. A one-lane vehicle bridge was built in the 1990s.

Former city official receives top award FORMER CITY of Terrace chief administrative officer Ron Poole was awarded the LieutenantGovernor’s Silver Medal for Excellence in Public Administration at a June 9 ceremony at Government House in Victoria. The award is sponsored by the Lieutenant Governor and the Institute of Public Administration of Canada and recognizes an individual’s accomplishments in public administration. Poole has spent 30 years in public administration in the north, working in the northeast before coming to Terrace in January 1999. He left Terrace in 2011 for a similar position in Kitimat and left there this June to be the top administrator in Mission, B.C. During his time in Terrace Poole helped estab-

lish the first public administration certificate program at Northwest Community College for First Nations and other local government employees. Present at the June 9 ceremony were former Terrace city councillors Olga Power and Marylin Davies, former Terrace planner David Trawin who is now the top civic official in Kamloops and former Terrace fire chief Peter Weeber who is now the chief administrative officer in Mackenzie. Also present were current Terrace chief administrative officer Heather Avison, current corporate administrator Alisa Thompson, Kitimat-Stikine regional district administrator Bob Marcellin, officials from the District of Kitimat, including mayor Phil Germuth, and officials from Gitlaxt’aamiks (New Aiyansh) in the Nass Valley.

Medical staff added to suit Wright did undergo a CT scan at Mills upon his third arrival at the hospital within an approximate nine-hour period April 21-22, 2012. He was then quickly flown to Vancouver for surgery at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. Wright has been unable to work since and requires constant care and supervision. His suit against the RCMP and Heideman, who has since been transferred out of the detachment to the Okanagan, is scheduled to be heard next February. Speaking yesterday from Vancouver, Wright’s lawyer, Scott Stanley, said the response of medical staff at Mills would first depend upon information they received from police when his client was brought in. “It was the responsibility of the RCMP to make sure the nurse and the doctor knew exactly what was going on,” said Stanley. In a response to the RCMP application, lawyers for de Wit say the RCMP “misstated the facts as set out in medical records” by stating de Wit “noted that his impression was signs of head injury and progression” when Wright was brought back to the hospital a second time. “There is no evidence Dr. de Wit formed the impression the plaintiff exhibited signs of head injury and progression, rather,

Postal payroll reduction to come from attrition Canada Post is saying it will reduce its workforce by not hiring replacements as people leave or retire. Skeena – Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen says he’s opposed to the end of door-to-door service. “I believe that we should be looking for best practices and examples in other countries who have successfully maintained their home delivery. There are many ways that Canada Post could innovate, become more dynamic, and even increase its revenues, all while maintaining the proud service it has offered to Canadians since day one,” said Cullen. Canada Post has 41 employees in Terrace, including part time and casual people. Included on its local payroll are what it calls 23 delivery agents on full and part time delivery routes with seven people des-

The exact number of jobs to be eliminated in Terrace isn’t yet known. In all, Canada Post delivers to approximately 8,200 addresses in Terrace, Thornhill and area either door-todoor in built up areas, by community mailboxes in newer subdivi-

sions or to communitystyle mailboxes in rural areas. Of those 8,200 addresses, 5,390 are now on door-to-door routes which will be eliminated next year. Canada Post has said it will provide door-todoor service for people who are physically unable to get to a commu-

nity mailbox. But that hasn’t stalled pushback from some municipalities and advocacy groups, including a federal lawsuit which has been launched by the postal worker’s union with support from various groups representing retired and handicapped citizens.

Teen girl propositioned by van driver TERRACE RCMP are looking for more information following a report of a man propositioning a teen girl June 9. The incident, which took place in the parking lot of the Tim Hortons on Keith Ave. June 9 also has police reminding the public, specifically women of all ages, that personal

safety is important. On Tuesday June 9 at approximately 8 p.m. a 14-year-old girl was walking through the Tim Hortons parking lot on Keith Ave when a man in a blue van made contact with the girl. She ignored him. He then asked her if she wanted to make some money. The girl continued

to ignore the man and approached a woman driver in another car and asked for assistance. The man drove off. In this incident the girl did the right thing and approached another person to ask for help, says Terrace RCMP Const. Angela Rabut. “Personal safety is very important and the best defence to protect

yourself from becoming a victim of a crime. Educate and protect yourself,” she said. The vehicle is described as a navy blue minivan, very shiny and newer with a roof rack holding items. An item on the roof rack may have been red. The front passenger seat may have a red rope attached to the headrest.

There was no report of the licence plates on the vehicle. The man is described as Caucasian, 25 to 35 years of age with auburn wavy hair, two or three inches in length. He has a well-groomed beard. “This incident was reported as soon as it happened on Tuesday night,” said Rabut.

“If you see or know of a vehicle or person matching the description provided, let your police know at 250638-7400.” The Crime Stoppers number is 1-800-222-TIPS, Rabut said self awareness and awareness of your surroundings is important in not becoming a victim of a crime.

“Use your sixth sense. Gut instinct. Your intuition is a powerful subconscious insight into situations and people. All of us, especially women, have this gift, but very few of us pay attention to it. “Avoid a person or a situation which does not feel safe – you’re probably right,” Rabut explained.

Paving ongoing ONE OF the largest paving projects seen here in recent years continues with the prime contractor doing the work at night to reduce traffic problems. LB Paving of Smithers, which is affiliated with local company Terrace Paving, is putting new top layer of asphalt on 8km of Hwy16 beginning in Thornhill and running along Hwy16/Keith Ave. until the Sande Overpass and then starting again on Hwy16 to the west end of Terrace. “Drivers can expect single lane alternating traffic, with up to 20 minute delays. Most work is being done at night, between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., to help avoid peak traffic times and limit delays,” said local highways ministry official Darrell Gunn. On top of the Hwy16 work, several side roads are being repaved in Thornhill, including portions of Thornhill Frontage Road North, Thornhill Frontage Road South, and Old Lakelse Lake Drive. “Some roads in the Kleanza area will also be resurfaced with recycled asphalt,” said Gunn. The project completion date is scheduled for early July.

Correction A MAY 27, 2015 story stating that Isabelle Johnny was denied bail was incorrect. In fact, Johnny, who has been charged with manslaughter, has been remanded in custody, not detained, by consent. She has yet to have a bail hearing. Johnny was charged following the death of a local man, Zachary Turner-Good, last month.

Longest-standing priest leaves Parish By CECILE FAVRON FATHER TERRY Brock of the Sacred Heart Parish, the longest-standing Catholic priest in the community, is leaving for a new position in Prince Rupert. Brock's departure comes as the Roman Catholic Parish celebrated their hundredth year two Sundays ago. A new priest will join the Terrace church to start the next hundred years off, said Brock of the church’s future. Brock's replacement, Father Xavier, is from India, but has been a pastor in Canada for five years. Brock's move to the Annunciation Parish in Prince Rupert after over a decade in Terrace came at the request of the area’s bishop Stephen Jensen in Prince George. “[Father Stephen Jensen] asked me to move to Prince Rupert and, out of obedience and respect to the bishop, I agreed to go,” Brock explained of his pending move. Father Brock has had the care of the Terrace Parish for the past 13 years, but it is Father Stephen Jensen's job to coordinate all the par-

ishes in northern B.C. Brock said it is difficult to find clergy members to staff all the churches across the region. His move to Prince Rupert is to fill a vacancy there, while the new priest will come to Terrace to begin his service. Brock will become the dean of the region and will coordinate the other priests in the area in addition to working in his new position in Rupert. His position as dean will bring him back to town every six weeks or so to check in on the Terrace parish, he said. As for Brock's extended stay in Terrace, he explained that most priests only stay in a single parish for seven to 10 years before a new priest is rotated in. “I got an extra bonus out of this one,” Brock joked of his 13-year stay in Terrace. Brock said that his time in Terrace really brought him closer to the community and he speculated that this might even be the town in which he wants to retire. “Terrace has really become home for me,” he said. Brock cherishes the experience of watching the kids he met here

undergone immense changes under his leadership as Terrace has grown over the years. “When I came the church was in need of lots of renovations,” Brock said. In addition to renovations, the church has been made accessible for people in wheelchairs and they have also installed a hearing loop for the deaf. “We made the church more inclusive,” Brock said of the changes. He continued that the Sacred Heart Parish has become very involved with other churches in Terrace and the ministerial connection has grown between the churches. The parish has led events such as the Prayer of Christian Unity last January that brought together over half a dozen churches in Terrace “like a Christian family,” described Brock. “What brings me joy is the growth of the parish while I have been here,” Brock reflected on his work in Terrace. Ninety per cent of Father Terry's service as a priest has been in northwestern British Columbia. Originally from New York, Brock came to Canada in 1977 as a layperson – a

youth volunteer for the church. While he was volunteering in Prince George, Brock explained, he felt the calling to become a priest and that began his 27year career. Over his 38 years in Canada, Brock served in Prince George at the Sacred Heart Cathedral before serving in Terrace and Kitimat. His career lead him far away from home as he is signed on as a diocesan priest and has committed himself to serving the northwest. “I felt called by God to become a priest and I never thought about how far I was from home. I did have a little doubt at one point, but it passed like the morning mist,” Brock described of his career in British Columbia. “When you leave home, you will receive many homes, and that is what I have found here.” Father Terry Brock’s last ceremonies with the Sacred Heart Parish were special events to mark the centenary year. The parish’s centenary celebration began with two Holy Hours – an hour of prayer – and Sunday held the celebrations of the parish’s hundredth year.

École Jack Cook hosts open house and reunion By CECILE FAVRON ÉCOLE JACK Cook, the independent francophone school adjacent to Kiti K'Shan Elementary, held their sixteen-year reunion and open house last week. They invited past students and staff going back to the beginnings of the school in 1998. Jack Cook was started in the Kiti K'Shan building (now closed) for students whose parents first language is French. The school hosts elementary students from kindergarden to Grade 7 who then continue on to mainly English-language instruction at Skeena Middle School. Johanne Langlois, the first principal of Jack Cook and one of the founding staff members of the school, spoke at the reunion assembly. “I have worked in many francophone schools and I have found that the level of French here is really excellent,” Langlois said of the students in the school. When Jack Cook first began 16 years ago, Langlois explained, there were only 14 students and

two classes, but that number has grown to 36 students this year. They have even had their highest number for kindergarten enrolment yet with nine students enrolled for next September, according to current principal Renée Syvret. As for the reunion, it was a longtime dream that was finally realized when the school received funding from two francophone organizations in BC. “We had been wanting to do something like this for a while, but now the opportunity came up,” explained Syvret. Both the Assembly of Francophone Retirees and Seniors of B.C. (AFRACB) and the Francophone Association of the Northwest (AFFNO) provided funding for the event. Both organizations work to promote French cultural activities in British Columbia. AFFNO especially works in collaboration with schools to promote French. At the reunion were the staff members who helped start the school and students who had moved on to Skeena and Caledonia after attending Jack Cook.

Renowned artist has show at Nisga’a museum By MARGARET SPEIRS NISGA’A ARTIST and carver Norman Tait’s latest artwork is showing at an exhibition of his work at the Nisga’a Museum this summer. Finding a Voice: The Art of Norman Tait, is the second exhibition of his work in his long career. “He is a world-renowned Nisga’a carver and artist with a significant amount of decades in terms of Nisga’a art,” says museum assistant curator Zora McMillan on the importance of having Tait’s work on display, adding Tait has travelled the world and his work is in several museums, private collections and institutions. “He carves with wood, metals for jewelry, totems and full ocean-gong canoes and so in that respect, he is a master.” The show includes a selection of framed prints, masks, rattles and a photo essay of Tait during different times of his life. Tait, born in 1941 in the Nisga’a Nation community of Gingolx, is self-taught, researching and exploring his nation’s rich cultural heritage and forging his own voice that speaks thru his variety of sculptural and twodimensional artwork. “Early influences Freda Diesing (design), Gerry Marks (silver engraving) and his father, Josiah Tait (poles) – contributed to Norman becoming the foremost Nisga’a artist working in wood, precious metals and graphics,” says details at the awarding to Tait of the 2012 BC Creative Lifetime Achievement Award for Aboriginal Art.

NORMAN TAIT at the opening of his art show at the Nisga’a Museum in Laxgalts’ap. It runs until August 28. was put on in November 1977 at the University of British Columbia’s Museum of Anthropology. The show at the Nisga’a Museum will present some of that work but will focus on his creations after 1980. Former Nisga’a Museum curator Darrin Martens said the plan to have a prominent Nisga’a artist at the museum started a couple of years ago. “His name rose to the top,” said Martens. “It was a way for him to come home to the Nisga’a nation and to reassert those connections and his roots in the community. “He’s someone who’s gone out into the world and made a career for himself and he represents Nisga’a people all over the world.” The show is a survey of his career and the different modes of visual arts he’s done, Martens said. It’s only Tait’s second exhibition in his long career partly because he had large public commissions of work and was doing them instead, said Martens.

“The different opportunities came up as far as doing commissions for individuals and different people and his career went in that direction,” he said. Tait has carved 39 totem poles to date, including ones for the Nisga’a Nation, the David Suzuki Foundation in Japan, the Field Museum in Chicago, and the British Royal Family in London’s Bushy Park. He has carved and raised five totem poles throughout the Metro Vancouver region “Because he’s a storyteller, speaking in an authentic, distinctive Nisga’a voice Norman Tait’s style is like no other; unique yet respectful of the Tsimshian tradition that is his cultural foundation,” read details at the awarding to Tait of the 2012 BC Creative Lifetime Achievement Award for Aboriginal Art. Finding a Voice: The Art of Norman Tait runs thru August 28 at the Nisga’a Museum. The museum is located in Laxgalts’ap in the Nass Valley. More information at http:// www.nisgaamuseum.ca

Ensemble blends old with the new By JOSH MASSEY KITSUMKALUM HAS always been a musical community according to guitar instructor Anne Hill who teaches at its community school, so it came as little surprise to see students succeed at classical guitar. The ‘Na Aksa Gila Kyew Learning Centre guitar ensemble won several awards at the 2015 Pacific Northwest Music Festival, a mark of success considering many have not been in the ensemble for the full three years Hill has directed it. “It was awesome,” says one of the stand out students, Ethan McNeil. “I worked really hard, learning about three songs, a prelude a minor and an etude in e minor,” he said of the music written by 19th century Spanish composers. McNeil also won the internal Kitsumklaum school award for best performance. “I have always played guitar in a worship band,” he said.

“But classical guitar is really fun. I like doing the classical guitar.” Ensemble musicians entered five music festival guitar categories – groups and solos and duets –and every one of them resulted in a first place prize, said Hill. Some of the songs practised during the school training involve singing with Sm’algyax translations of such standards as “You Are My Sunshine”. The students also do songs as part of a play about the ancestral village of Robin Town, a play written by matriarch Mildred Roberts, with the songs themselves going way back in the history of the Kitsumkalum. One of them is a chant that is a traditional paddling song, while another is a song Roberts learned when she was a child called “Come Little BlueJay” or “K’aba Gwis Gawa.” All the students who are old enough in the K-12 school (‘Na Aksa Gila Kyew translates as “Where the Robin Goes for Water”) get one hour a week, whereas the en-

semble keeps a more intense practice regime. The school’s average enrollment is around 30, and there are six in the ensemble. The ensemble plays today at the year end gala for the school. “Every single kid here seems to have some music in them,” said Hill of the whole school, which is very small and taught in small detached buildings that are grouped together within the Kitsumkalum village located just past the Kalum river bridge on the west end of Terrace. “The Tsimshian culture is rich with music.” Hill said she has been really impressed with how quickly everyone is picking up the classic guitar.

An island adventure

COMMUNITY

www.terracestandard.com B5

By BRIANA GREER THE WEEKEND of May 28-31 the Terrace Scout Group hosted the Skeena area’s annual Totem Trails camp on Porcher Island. The weekend consisted of adventure – trying something new, the little things that create memories . Our weekend consisted of canoeing, fishing, hiking around the beach, and of course fun! Terrace Scouts first drove to Prince Rupert to meet Rupert Scouters before taking a ferry to Porcher Island. Most of our time was spent in Welcome Harbour fishing! For some, it was their first time fishing and for others it was just another beautiful day in the boat. During free time the youth went out exploring, collecting momentos of their expeditions. Both youth and leaders had the chance escape the realities of our busy daily lives and just relax. A few brave troopers decided to sleep underneath the stars or under shelters. A few scouters had to quickly escape from the tides coming in, underestimating how high the tide actually came up to shore at night which created giggles for the rest of the group. Overall, the camp was fabulously planned. Thank you to all of the leaders and supporters who helped put Totem Trails together. Legend says, if children come home dirty, smelling like campfire, with grins stretched from ear to ear it means that they truly had a good time. It starts with Scouts. Briana Greer is the Skeena Area Youth Commissioner for Scouts Canada.

Dry spring spells fires in North By CECILE FAVRON THERE WERE three human-caused fires in the Terrace area last week. A fire less than a quarter of a hectare in size was discovered on the west side of Kalum Lake on June 6, a smaller fire was sparked near Hwy 37 north of Kitimat the following day, and the latest small fire was put out on June 10 about nine kilometres northwest of Terrace. The Northwest Fire Centre was notified quickly about these fires and in turn was able to respond quickly thus preventing the fires from spreading. The fires combined did not burn more than a hectare and were extinguished quickly. These fires were human-caused and, with

the fire danger rating in the region at moderate to high, fire officials are asking the public to take precautions when burning outdoors. This includes ensuring that fires are never left unattended and fully extinguished after use. “Human-caused fires are preventable and human-caused fires take resources away from natufrally caused fires,” said Fire Information Officer Olivia Pojar. The resources of the Northern Fire Centre have to cover an area from the Yukon border along the coast to Endako and have already responded to 34 fires in the region. There are still four lightning-caused wildfires burning in remote portions of the Cassiar region. The Inklin River fire,

Dozzi sees double First Caledonia student to win gold – twice – at provincial championship track and field meet YOU GET knocked down, you get up again – it’s a familiar refrain. But it’s not every day that you get knocked down in the middle of a longdistance championship race, get up again, and manage to not only regain your position but pull ahead to finish first. And yet that’s exactly what happened to Grade 10 student Tyler Dozzi at provincial track and field championships in Langley earlier this month. The national bronze-medalist became Caledonia’s first track and field athlete to bring home not one, but two gold medals from the provincial meet, placing first in the Jr. Boys 1500 and 3000 m races. Last year, he finished top 10 in the standings at provincials in those same races – second out of the Grade 9’s in the Jr. Boys category, with the majority of his competitors being in Grade 10 – so he knew this year he had a shot at the podium. “I knew I would be going for gold this year,” said Dozzi. Without a proper track in Terrace (“It’s asphalt, it’ll ruin your knees”), he trained with coach Neal Curry in

Smithers and on his own. While he broke two northwest records at zones this year, he wasn’t sure how fast he’d run at provincials. “I do much better when I race against people faster than me,” he said. But having raced in provincial and national meets, he knew who his competition was – and, Tyler as expected, in both races the final stretch was a battle between he and Jack Stanley from Oak Bay Secondary. Dozzi’s approach to both races was strategic – stay near the front of the pack for the majority of the race, break away with the leaders, and then pull ahead in a sprint finish with a few hundred metres to go. “I didn’t know how fast he was but I knew that when I raced him last year I had a faster sprint finish, so that’s what I was going to try to do to beat him,” he said. “And it worked.” He clocked a personal best of 4:04, beating Stanley

by three seconds. While that strategy worked for the 1500 m race, his attempt do to the same in the 3000 m was nearly thwarted. After spending the beginning of the crowded race boxed-in in the inside lane, he began making moves towards the front of the pack. But twoand-a-half laps in “there was a bit of a pileup.” Dozzi Dozzi was knocked to the ground and stepped on. “I hit the ground hard enough to do a full roll over my shoulder,” he said, noting that the adrenaline stopped him from noticing his leg was bleeding. He picked himself up, realizing he was now about fourth from last. “So I tried to regain my spot,” he said. “Within one lap I was back into about third place ... but it took a lot of energy, the getting back up, because you lose your momentum, just to catch up.”

Major showing at weightlifting competition THE NORTH Coast gym was pumped June 7 for the second annual Northwest Weightlifting Competition. The packed house saw 38 competitors pull for their best – that includes 13 women in bench press and four women who pulled more than 300 lbs from the floor. Organizer Adam Yawrenko said “all in all it was a step above last year” and noted that once again, a significant amount of personal records were achieved. He said he’s already planning next year’s event and is sure that, just like last year, many of the athletes from this competition will go onto the next level this fall.

Fast times at the Terrace Speedway

ond day of racing, #259 Aiden Archer continued to improve and had no mishaps other than finding that the fuel tank in his Chevy Cavalier is mounted backwards so it has to be kept filled up all of the time. The battle in B Bomber was between #114 Nathan Archer and #60 Rick Reinert with Archer continuing to impress in his second year of racing, winning the Trophy Dash and Main Event with #60 Rick Reinert winning the Heat Race. In A bomber Tim Zettler #259 also continues to impress with good starts. He was able to spend the day battling with #53 Rick Reinert for third place most of the day. Just like Saturday, on Sunday the battle was between #114 Paul Fleming and #60 Trevor Reinert. All three races came down to a drag race out of turn four with the bigger engine of the Celica out pulling the little engine of the Civic on the way to the finish line. Trevor Reinert #60 managed to sweep all three races, but it was a good battle all the way. Come out and check out the racing action on July 4 and 5th featuring our 50 lap Memorial race with all cars on the track at the same time.

By KRIS SWEET THE TERRACE Speedway hosted its second race weekend of the year June 6 and 7 and managed to pull off two days of fine racing despite wet weather and some mechanical issues. Saturday night saw several cars unexpectedly and unfortunately parked, but the night still showcased strong races and results. There were six Thunder cars in the pits, looking like a nice field. Kris Sweet, #51, swept both Heat and Main for the night. Meanwhile in Bomber Class there were six bombers out for the night. Trevor Reinert, #60, set the fast time for the night with a time of 21.68. But Paul Fleming in the #114 Honda Civic fixed his alternator problems and was close with a time of 21.69, setting a trend for the weekend between these two cars. In B bomber class it was the Archer family, brothers Nathan Archer, 16, driving the #114 Bomber and brother Aiden Archer, 14, driving the #259 taking on the father and son team of Rick Reinert #60 and Trevor Reinert #95. Nathan who is defending his 16-and-under championship from last year and who is only in his second year of racing managed to hold off strong challenges from Rick Reinert #60 to take wins in both the heat and the main. In A Bomber action there were a couple of stories in play. Tim Zettler, 15, in the #259 Cavalier managed to figure out his fuel issue and put on a successful night of racing, including a few spins in the Main while running over the oil patch put down earlier in the night by Kat Finnie #182 – a learning experience for Tim. The #66 mustang driven by Vince McLain continued to struggle this Saturday. Vince was lapped in the A Heat Race and when Paul Fleming took the car out in the B Main, he ran strong but had the car die on him two thirds of the way through the race. The #66 never made it back onto the track for the weekend. But no worries – Vince should have the problem worked out by the next race weekend. The battle for the win – and what might be a good battle for the season brewing

first heard the word Simms from Bob Clay. Probably the world’s premier craftsman of two handed split cane fly rods, a veteran steelhead guide, and a talented steelheader who understands the nuances of the Kispiox River better than anybody, Bob is in demand as an endorser of steelheading equipment. While on a trip to the Western United States, Bob made a side trip to the Simms factory. Bob was enthusiastic following that visit. Here, Bob told me, was an outfit that hired Americans, treated them fairly, and paid them a good wage, while winning awards for their environmental conduct. A few years later, Simms products were ubiquitous. My first purchase was a hat I bought in the first week of December. It was a well padded, waterproof sky piece with insulated velcro tipped flaps riding on top that could be disengaged and fastened below the wearer’s chin to soften the blow of a knife-edged winter wind. It reminded me of the wooly boyhood caps whose fleecy flaps we secured under our chins with laces in a time before Velcro. Unlike the flap caps of yore, Simms’s cap was waterproof. It’s the best winter hat I’ve owned. A few years later, my friend, Art Lingren, voiced his satisfaction with the Simms wading boots he’d been using for a season. This was when wading shoe manufacturers were casting about for something other than felt soles for the bottom of their

Trevor won both the Heat and the Main by a fender length. On Sunday, rainy weather meant the crew wasn’t sure if the race day would happen. Cars circled the track for a while trying to get the track dried off, but the rain kept coming back. Finally at just after 2 p.m. the rain stopped, there were fans in the stands, and the crew said lets go for it. There were only three Thunder cars out for Sunday’s racing and #77 Terry Reinert brought out his well-seasoned 1966 Pontiac Beaumont. There was some close racing with some three-wide laps. Kris Sweet in the #51 Ford F150 pickup truck showed everyone that he is a true racer and his new paint

job wasn't about to slow him down. He saw a hole when the #14 of Mark Kyle plowed coming out of turn four and Sweet went underneath him. Kyle’s tires finally grabbed and shot him down into the right rear fender spinning both cars in front of the #77 of Terry Reinert. Reinert managed to get stopped without hitting anything and all three cars managed to get back out and finish the race. Sweet showed his dominance and won all three races, the Trophy, Heat and Main. In Bomber Class even in the rain Trevor Reinert in the #60 Toyota Celica managed to set the fast time for the third raceday in a row with a time of 24.35 – a good three seconds off his regular pace. B Bomber had Vince McLain borrowing the #53 Ford Mustang of Rick Reinert to keep his championship run alive. In his sec-

The people at Simms acknowledged the defect and repaired them. Why they didn’t simply replace them still escapes me. The repaired waders lasted one season then sprung leaks again. When I sent them back for the third time, I got an email telling me the cost of the repair was over a hundred dollars. I sent back a reply telling Simms to keep the damn things because, with shipping costs and all, I couldn’t afford them. I got a phone call from a Simms employee within the hour. He was pleasant and helpful. We had a lengthy talk about breathable waders, the upshot of which was that my waders were repaired gratis and shipped back. They lasted six months and after using two large tubes of Goop without stopping the new leaks, I gave up on them. Was this pair defective? Should I save up $850 for the top of the line Simms waders? These questions were answered when I met Willy McCleary on the Lakelse River last fall. Willy fishes a lot, like I do. He had shelled out the big bucks for Simms high end waders and told me after a season they leaked just like the cheaper brands do. Breathable waders, it appears, have a life lasting approximately 150 outings. That means they will last six years for a casual fisher, three seasons for an active fisherman and one season for a fishing guide or Willy and I. The plain truth is even Simms can’t build a long lasting breathable wader.

Dozzi breaks records as double champion The top three broke away from the group, and shortly thereafter the racer in second place began to slow down and Dozzi made a move past him – meaning it was he and Stanley, from the 1500 m, in first and second once again. “He started to surge,” said Dozzi. “He picked up the speed with two laps to go because he knew that if he can’t beat me in the last lap sprinting he could probably tire me out too much to sprint with two laps to go.” But Dozzi fought hard to keep up with that second last lap. “I almost slowed down from exhaustion with 600 m to go,” he said. “Just barely kept up with him.” But as they entered the last lap, Dozzi dipped into the last of his untapped reserves and pulled ahead of Stanley. “I often don’t hear when people yell to me during the races,” he said. But “I heard my coach from Smithers yelling at the side of the track to speed up with 250 m to go, so I did. “I found out that I ended up beating him by seven seconds.” He said he thinks his time of 8:59 was only impacted slightly by his fall. “I think it might have only made a difference of a second – because I still would have caught up,” he said. “He didn’t change his pace when I fell, but it’s more a matter of how much energy

I would have had at the end.” He said he wasn’t feeling too great after the race – exhausted and overheated from racing

on a hot, windy day – but that didn’t stop him from taking it all in. “I got to go to the podium for a second time,” he said. “That

was a really great experience.” It’s fair to say this probably won’t be Dozzi’s last stand on a podium. A driven ath-

lete and student, he has goals for the next several years of competition – attending provincial and national meets this summer to gear up for

Grade 11 competition, the year that matters for making the high school national team – that cumulate in his earning a scholarship to a top

track university like the University of Oregon. “I’m thinking scholarships for sure,” he said. “It’s not so much will I, it’s where.”
