City delays Bench rezoning By CECILE FAVRON TERRACE CITY council has postponed a rezoning decision for a piece of property on the bench after hearing protests by nearby residents. A Vancouver developer who bought the 5.28 acres on the top of Lanfear Hill last year wants to build up to 69 duplex or townhouse units but residents say that kind of jump in density has them worried about traffic problems and about stability of the hill. Jim Checkley who lives adjacent to the property and collected signatures to present
to council during a rezoning hearing held last night, said “there is more than just a casual interest in what is going to happen up here.” He said that residents want to see the city come up with a traffic plan for the Thomas/ McConnell intersection at the top of Lanfear and for the adjacent Cooper/Thomas intersection before allowing big developments on the bench. “It is a tremendous bottleneck and an unbelievable hazard,” Checkley said, explaining that the hill cannot handle more traffic. He also cited concern that the project
could lead to more erosion of the hill. Other residents expressed similar concerns and also were unhappy that the developer had chosen not to attend the hearing nor make any plans for the development public. Marilyn Fell told council that residents on the bench had chosen to live in that location so that they wouldn’t have the high-density atmosphere of downtown and she felt that council was not listening to those concerns. “The public hearings are called, but the public is not being heard, the developers are being heard,” she contended. The city has taken the position that this
type of development is not widely available on the residential bench area of the city and it would help Terrace meet housing needs. The land was rezoned from its AR2 agricultural designation to R1 residential last year in accordance with bylaw update measures. On the table is an application by the developer to have the property rezoned once again to an R3 low-density, multi-family residential designation. The decision on this application was tabled until council next meets July 13.

Lower gas rates possible THE PROSPECT of a small liquefied natural gas (LNG) project being built near Kitimat offers a major benefit for the northwest. Should Douglas Channel LNG go ahead, it will take up all of the current surplus capacity in the Pacific Northern Gas pipeline which stretches west from Prince George. Because the pipeline is now under utilized, current Pacific Northern Gas residential and other customers now pay the highest gas transportation costs in the province to finance the utility’s pipeline. But should Douglas Channel LNG proceed, its payments to Pacific Northern Gas to transport gas to its facility will lower those rates for all users. Dan Woznow, a vice president for Calgary energy company AltaGas, which is both a partner in the Douglas Channel project and the owner of Pacific Northern Gas, says it’s too early to put an exact dollar figure to those savings. “But something in the order of 25 per cent in [delivery] rates is to be expected,” he said of the anticipated reduction. Northwestern residential gas users now pay a delivery rate of $11.867 a gigajoule compared to a lower mainland Fortis utility customer who pays $3.547 a gigajoule and a Pacific Northern Gas customer in Fort St. John who pays $3.471 a gigajoule.

Bunkhouse blaze called ‘mischievous’
A BLAZE that gutted a former CN Rail bunkhouse on Atwood near the train tracks is being labelled as “mischievous” by the Terrace fire department. A member of the public called the fire department to report that flames had ignited in the building, which is now owned by the Best Western Terrace Inn, just around 1 p.m. June 20. Terrace and Thornhill firefighters responded, bringing out about 35 firefighters to battle the blaze with a ladder truck and three pumper trucks. “As far as we’re concerned, we believe it started by mischief. There’s no power, no
electricity, no gas, nobody was supposed to be in there. There’s no reason for it to start on fire,” said Dave Jephson, a member of the fire department who investigated the fire. “Witnesses saw people leaving when the fire started,” he added, saying that no one was in the building during the fire. Since the building was old and had not been maintained, the blaze took off right away, he said. About halfway thru, a crew went into the building to knock down some of the west side and fans were set up, in what is called positive pressure ventilation, to blow air toward the fire
which keeps it away from that part of the building. “Being able to pressurize the west end pushed the smoke and heat and gases back and slows the fire coming to that fan,” he said. “It could fan the flames where it is, but slows it down from coming that way.” All together the four trucks had hoses pumping out water that probably amounted to putting 40,000 gallons of water on the fire. Firefighters were on scene for about five to six hours to ensure the fire was completely out and then they’d return every two to three hours to check for hot spots with the thermal imag-

didn’t suffer any damage. Jephson said the building will be torn down as soon as an ex-
cavator gets there. Firefighters appreciate it when someone phones in a fire which is just as good as a fire
alarm, said Terrace fire chief John Klie. “The town depends on people like that,” he said.

EDITORIAL
July 1 IT’S always a bit depressing to consider that too many younger Canadians, it seems, equate Sir John A. Macdonald with the fast-food chain of a similar name (but with a different spelling) than with his status as being a prime Father of Confederation. Along with Sir George-Étienne Cartier, the pair maneuvered, outmaneuvered, argued with and finally convinced enough of their peers to join together the British colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Canada (which was then divided into Ontario and Quebec) into the single country of Canada on July 1, 1867. Other jurisdictions followed (British Columbia joined in 1871) to create the modern Canada of today with 10 provinces and three territories. The country does have a lot to answer for with its treatment of Chinese immigrants in the early years, internment of citizens of Japanese descent during the Second World War, internment of citizens of Ukrainian descent during the First World War and now the story of First Nations youth through the revelations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. But it’s the ability of Canada to first recognize the above dark moments of its history and then repair the damage that was caused that makes it the country it is today. Happy Canada Day. And for those old enough to remember, a hearty Dominion Day as well.
G
Action needed, not an inquiry
overnment apologies may sooth historical hurts, but they don’t alleviate a single circumstance contributing to the growing number of disappearances and murders of aboriginal women. Successive studies and inquiries, the latest in 2006 chaired by Missing Women Inquiry Commissioner Wally Oppal, made a dozen recommendations. So far, none have been put into play. The glib demand from all quarters for a national public inquiry only stalls government. We need to be doing, not twiddling our thumbs hoping for action that has little prospect of materializing if history is any guide. Noteworthy, in the U.S., less than two weeks after nine black parishioners were shot dead in a church, citizens have pushed legislators to at least begin talking of removing the Confederate flag from South Carolina’s capitol, a step that required a two-thirds vote just to talk about doing it. And five major chains including Walmart, Sears, eBay and Amazon have removed all products display-

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI ing a Confederate flag. Yet here in Canada, following the disappearance or murder of more than 1,200 aboriginal women (32 more murdered and 11 more missing since 2013 alone!) the best our elected representatives have done is study the issue (at great expense and passage of time), and file reports on dusty shelves, while we resignedly watch for governments to take concrete steps. In the words of Clarence Louie, chief of the Osoyoos band, “If you’re waiting for government to move, you’ll wait forever.” Chief Louie’s got that
right. Oppal’s 2006 study recommended setting up a seven-bus service along the 724 kilometres of Highway 16 from Prince George to Prince Rupert, for women without a car. Have you seen a bus yet? Neither have I. Another recommendation has been to establish more safe houses. Across Canada only 44 safe houses exist to serve as refuges for battered women and children from 633 communities. Many communities are remote and distant from each other. Leaving an abusive partner is even more difficult in these places than it is for a woman residing in a metropolitan area with buses, taxis, and close-by neighbours. Can you picture Canada’s coffee lovers limited to 44 Tim Hortons outlets in our vast country? Fat chance. We even sponsored a Tim Hortons in Afghanistan for our troops. Yet we can’t even begin to fund another safe house for families fleeing abuse! On June 19 RCMP updated their progress investigating this scourge. Their solved murders reveal that 90 percent of murdered women know their murderers who

tend to be family, or men with criminal records. That day CBC interviewed Dawn Lavell Harvard, interim president of Native Women’s Association of Canada. She, too, reiterated the call for a national public inquiry. But when reporter Terry Milewski bluntly asked, “What more do we need to know?” her eyes darted side to side as though seeking a prompt, aimlessly flapped her hands, and sputtered, “We need a national public inquiry.” She voiced no concrete examples of what more we need to know. We already know aboriginal women are four times more vulnerable to violence than others, and why. Typically victims exist in abusive households, are poor, have substance abuse problems and engage in high-risk activities. The safety of aboriginal women and girls “is a responsibility that should be shared by everyone including, of course, the communities themselves,” RCMP Deputy Commissioner Janice Armstrong told a news conference. I don’t see a national public inquiry helping.

AFFECTED PEPPER plant is curling up in response to spread of herbicides.
Herbicides destroying garden Dear Sir: My tomato plants are dying, my peppers are curling, my potatoes, the beans, the sunflowers and many more plants looks sick and curled and dying. I’m a gardener in Rosswood and I’m trying to grow healthy food for my family of five. I’ve been working hard in the five years since we got this place
T
to get to the point we reached this spring, where I can grow all my plants from seed. I remodeled basically my whole garden and added a big composting area. I was just installing an irrigation system to save time on the watering when slowly my plants started curling and dying. What was happening? I had followed a post on Facebook
last year about a gardener in Thornhill that had the same problem. And now it is happening here, in my own garden. And we are not the only ones affected by this. The more I talked about it, the more cases I found, right here in Terrace. Somehow we all got picloram (Grazon), a herbicide
to control perennial weeds, in our garden. Most pesticides, including herbicides, break down quickly in the composting process. Picloram, Clopyralid and Aminopyralid do not. These herbicides are used to control broadleaf weeds such as Canada thistle in specific cases.

Dear Sir: My early euphoria over the AltaGas consortium’s June 15 announcement that they are pushing ahead with an LNG barge facility in Haisla First Nation Territory in Douglas Channel using the PNG pipeline from the northern B.C. gas fields to Kitimat was short lived. They said there would be almost no environmental impact because there is only the need to construct a short, new section of pipeline. I was pleased with their wise decision. The press statement made no reference to a Phase 2 twinning of the existing pipeline with a 24-inch pipeline that would traverse the upper Class 1 Section of the Zymoetz River Valley. It was great news that one of the last wild salmon and steelhead wilderness river environments left in the Skeena Watershed would be spared. This all changed when I read the Alaska Highway News that said AltaGas is proceeding with its Phase 1 plan and, after it has approval from the National Energy Board and the provincial government following an environmental assessment, they would move ahead with Phase 2 and the twinning of the PNG gas pipeline. Construction could start as early as late 2015. My hopes and dreams were dashed by the bad news. Our provincial government should have had the foresight and fortitude to say some places are out of bounds for pipelines because natural values are just too valuable. Wilderness tourism operators and British Columbians want some wilderness areas to remain free from industrial encroachment. Unfortunately, a wild west mentality has prevailed over LNG development. Little or no legitimate provincial government pre-planning of pipeline development has taken place. Almost every facet of the planning and choice of locations has been left up to the pipeline and gas corporations/ consortiums.

When the LNG project FIDs, then build it
he Q: When is an FID (Final Investment Decision) not an FID? A: When it has conditions attached. What I’m talking about is Petronas’ announcement last month that the go-ahead on the Pacific NorthWest LNG plant on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert is subject to two conditions. With an unspoken third one. Okay, I will be accused of splitting hairs here, but my point is that FID has always meant the absolute green light for any project and what Petronas served up was not that. Cast your mind back to the Kitimat aluminum smelter modernization project where right from the first announcement by Alcan – later to become Rio Tinto Alcan – there were three conditions that had to be met before the board would even be asked to approve the project. That really is where Petronas’ Pacific NorthWest LNG sits as of today.
Having got that off my chest, there is no question this is encouraging news. The first condition is that the BC legislature approve the project development agreement that lays out the provincial royalty and taxation rates Petronas and partners will face over the longterm. With the Liberals’ comfortable majority that’s a foregone conclusion requiring only that the legislature be recalled to take the necessary vote. The province is answering that by recalling the legislature July 13 for what should be a short session. Number two is that the federal environmental assessment results in a recommendation that the federal Conservative government approve the project. That’s likely to be a bit trickier – witness the June 2 request by the environmental agency that Pacific NorthWest provide still more information concerning the project’s potential impact on fish
GUEST COMMENT
MALCOLM BAXTER and fish habitat. I am sure the two parties will get there eventually, but the time that will take is probably longer than the optimists are saying. Government approval will almost certainly not come until after October’s federal election. Which takes us to the unspoken condition which is the trickiest of all: First Nations endorse-
ment of the project. Back in May the Prince Rupert area Lax Kw’alaams were offered a benefits package that would have seen them receive $1.15 billion over 40 years. The members unanimously rejected the offer, not on the grounds it wasn’t enough cash, but because they are convinced that locating the plant, as currently configured, on Lelu Island will harm the immediately offshore Flora Bank which they describe as important salmon habitat for Skeena River runs. That despite the fact that Pacific NorthWest LNG had already made changes to its proposed offload infrastructure which they obviously thought would ease Lax Kw’alaams’ concerns. I get the feeling that the only thing that will convince Lax Kw’alaams is a major rejigging of the plan which will mean more studies and potentially more expense - and certainly more time before a real FID. But at least this is the first sign
of a glimmer of light at the end of what has been a very long tunnel. So what about the Kitimat projects? As I have said before, I am convinced the AltaGas-led Douglas Channel LNG project will be green-lighted before year’s end. And I don’t think what’s happening with the Rupert project will change anything as far as Chevron-Woodside’s Kitimat LNG and Shell’s LNG Canada are concerned. They have their carefully planned schedules and to me there is nothing in the Petronas announcement that will spook them into changing those plans. FOOTNOTE: as you read this I am trolling Stuart Lake in an effort to win the big prize in the annual and much anticipated Fort St. James fish derby. As it says on one of my Tshirts that a fishing line has a hook on one end and an optimist on the other. Happy Canada Day everybody.

Don’t stress your tree Dear Sir: Thank you for the recent article on worms in fruit trees on Page A3 in the June 10 edition of the Terrace Standard. The article helps educate fruit tree owners and provides some timely tips on how to manage a pesky bug that is proving to be an ongoing challenge.
Trees that have a significant fruit load, however, should not be pruned, but rather, hand thinned in order to reduce stress on the tree. Fruit trees that are left to carry excessive fruit typically develop a biannual production cycle and become much more vulnerable to disease. Charles Claus, Terrace, B.C.

Pipeline route a hazard An environmental assessment will take place and for the most part no stone will be left unturned to assure that the environment will look as natural and as untouched as possible when the pipeline has been completed. The problem is that old growth timber will be removed and replaced with grasses and shrubbery, identifying it as a pipeline right of way . There are two alternative routes for a new pipeline, one is through the Telkwa Pass where rock slides have taken place and damaged the current pipeline. This is a risk that can be overcome by tunnelling and other proactive measures that are now used to protect the existing pipeline.
COAST MOUNTAINS
MARC FREEMAN 250-975-0654
Poor engineering and planning were the cause of many previous pipeline breaks and failures over a number of years throughout the length of the pipeline. The second alternative would follow Highway 16 to Terrace and along the way the pipeline could provide natural gas to communities such as the Hazeltons where currently it is not available. It is time for AltaGas and the provincial government to agree that one of the two alternative routes would be a better choice for twinning/looping the PNG pipeline. Jim Culp, Terrace, B.C.

Thornhill fire chief makes career move
By MARGARET SPEIRS
THE THORNHILL fire chief didn’t expect to leave town but an opportunity came up that has moved him to Vancouver Island to take a position there. Wes Patterson worked his last day here June 26 and begins his new role as deputy fire chief in Port Alberni on Canada Day. “It wasn’t something I had even thought about in terms of leaving the area, community or the job,” said Patterson June 19. “Quite honestly this job has been more than a job and it’s been great, but Port Alberni’s deputy fire chief position had come available. My parents live there so that’s a huge plus.” said Patterson, adding he talked to his wife about the job and she encouraged him to apply for it. The job will be a change as it’s with a career fire department, while Thornhill is primarily volunteer. But he will still be working with the volunteer fire departments outside Port Alberni, he said. “It is a city and has al those things that go along with it and so it’ll be challenging for me,” he said. “I’ve known the [fire] chief for a number of years and he’s very well-respected with the fire service and the opportunity to work with him and learn from him and for him to mentor me is a great opportunity so all those things have kind of combined that said ‘if you’re going to go, this is the time, this is the place to go,’” said Patterson, about Port Alberni fire chief Tim Pley. He’s sad to go as he’s met a lot of good people, worked for great people and really enjoyed his time here. “I’ve met fantastic people both within the fire department and the community and thru the province by having the opportunity to do the things that I’ve done with the regional district with the emergency program, with BC fire chiefs association and training officers association,” he said. “It was just an amazing opportunity and up until two and a half months ago, I would’ve said I’ll retire here,” he added, saying he’s got another 10 years to work, and he hopes to do all that in Port Alberni as he’s not much for moving around. His job there is running with four career firefighters and a captain on each shift, fire chief and fire prevention officer, he said. All the types of firefighting he does up here will
be done there too: highway rescue, confined spaces, basic hazmat etc. Patterson was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba but moved out here when still young so with the exception of a couple of years in Dease Lake, he’s lived here since he was in Grade 6. He volunteered for the fire department and worked various jobs – including his volunteer time, he’s been with the fire department here for 32 years. During his volunteer time, he took courses so he could learn how to operate the fire department one day. When the fire chief left, Patterson became deputy fire chief, first part-time and then full-time. In 2005, after six years as deputy fire chief, he was appointed to be fire chief when Art Hill retired. Highlights of his career include getting in on the 1999 or 2000 Kemano Safety Initiative, where he spent time in Kemano burning down houses in a controlled, safe way that helped train firefighters throughout the province. “That was kind of at the start of my career,” he said. Seeing 911 implemented in the regional district is another highlight. He did help rescue a horse that had fallen into the river during a flood years ago. He was in charge and made the decision to get the horse when no one else would. “At the end of day, it was the right thing to do. We did it without anybody getting hurt,” said Patterson, adding that wasn’t during the flood of 2007 but was an earlier one. Another animal call marks another highlight. He was off duty and out riding his motorcycle when dispatch called to say some ladies were looking for someone to help a baby bird that had fallen out of a tree. Patterson was only a block-and-a-half away. “So I zipped over and got the fire truck and put the bird back in the tree and I think they were happy with the response,” he said. “Hopefully the bird is out there singing away.” And he’s thankful for being part of the Kitselas agreement the fire department made to provide fire protection for Kleanza, Gitaus and the area. “I just want to thank everybody, the community and the people I worked with in Thornhill and the Terrace area through the whole regional district.

WES PATTERSON spent his entire firefighting career here until a new position with great opportunities to learn came up quickly and he decided to move on. Here he is June 19 with the newly completed fire stairs to be used for training.
He helps others to succeed By JOSH MASSEY CHRIS ARNOLD remembers fondly some of the positive results his employment program has had for people with hindrances to employment, a career for which he recently won a national award. One client could finally afford to travel down to Vancouver to see a Canucks game and visit an old friend, while another client used his newly learned landscaping skills to start his own business. For 25 years, Chris has helped people with employment barriers, be they mental or physical, enter the workforce through the
social agency he co-founded called the Provincial Networking Group, and was recently awarded the CASE-Wiltshire Award of Excellence in Supported Employment. Arnold cofounded the Provincial Networking Group Inc. with Margaret Anderson back in 1992, but his understanding of communications with the disabled, including sign language, goes farther back. He originally began learning sign language in high school, during which time he had a friend who needed an interpreter. Born in Fort St. John, Arnold has now lived in Terrace for 25 years, and
has been building on those original skills and developing a business career of it at the same time. The recent award is one of several he has earned over the years because of the success of his supported employment program and other qualifications such as having written a book called “Screaming for Attention – True Stories about the Puzzle of Human Behaviour.” The number of people with hindrances who entered the workforce through Provincial Networking impressed others in the field, and the success has translated into invitations to talks at various conventions. “I’ve spoken in Calgary,
Halifax, Winnipeg, all at these national conferences, and we have spoken up in Alaska and Vancouver a lot. We talk about the innovative work we do, our model. Even though it’s a small rural community, a lot of the strategies we developed here are being used in Halifax and Calgary, and all these other places because of speaking at conferences and things like that.” He also trains people with disabilities in visual and gestural communication and also offers training to people who live and work with those who have behavioral disabilities. “Unemployment rates

“Unemployment rates for disabilities are very high and it has been for a long time,” said Arnold. “People with disabilities are not well enough represented in the workforce. Lots of people with disabilities have the ability to work to some degree. If they are working they are earning income, paying taxes, they are contributing. If they are not, they are on disability, they are receiving support, all of that. Employment is such a huge point of any of our lives. When you meet somebody it’s like ‘what’s your name, what do you do?’” “This one is really neat. It’s a group of our peers who chose us,” he said of the award. Unfortunately, he adds, funding was cut off for supported employment last year and his company has had to close that service, but he hopes it will one day return. ROSE LARIVIERE PHOTO

More human-caused fires reported DESPITE A warning from fire officials in mid-June urging the public to be cautious, human activity has resulted in two more wildfires in the Skeena region over the past week. A small, humancaused fire was started just 2.5 kilometres south of New Aiyansh in the Nass Valley and it was followed by another fire at the Kitimat River bridge northeast of Kitimat. The discovery of these new fires comes after crews responded to six fires in the Terrace, Kitimat, and Nass Valley region over the span of just a week and a half in early June. This included a fire on Terrace Mountain close to the heart of Terrace on June 14. This brings the total number of fires in the northwest fire region – spanning from the Yukon boarder to Endako and Tweedsmuir Park – to 44, which is significantly higher than the ten year average for this time of year of 32. With exceedingly hot and dry weather forecast in the coming week, fire officials are asking the public to be extra cautious when participating in recreational activities in the backcountry or using open flame.
“This [hot weather] could raise the fire danger rating yet again,” said Olivia Pojar of the Northwest Fire Centre as she reminds the public that the recent wet conditions have not reduced the overall wild-
fire risk. “Dry forest fuels require a significant amount of sustained precipitation to regain moisture, and the dry conditions in the coming week could rapidly increase the fire risk.”
Campers are reminded to be cautious while burning. Campfires cannot be more than 0.5 metres wide and 0.5 metres tall as larger “party fires” are illegal and, if they get out of control, the person
present at the fire may be held liable. All fires must be completely extinguished and never left unattended. Recreation vehicles can also pose a threat as sparks from the exhaust system can sometimes
start a wildfire in very dry conditions. To report smoke, flames, unattended campfires or non-compliant open burning, call 1-800-663-5555 or dial *5555 on your cell phone.

Hitchhikers located here SIGNS WARNING about hitchhiking may be posted along the side highways and plenty of information about its dangers may be available, but that didn’t deter two teenage girls from Prince Rupert, Terrace RCMP report. In the June 24-25 daily log of police activity, officers responded to a report of a girl, 17, and one who was 15 years-old being at Mills Memorial Hospital. “They had hitchhiked from Prince Rupert, had no place to go so they decided to hang out at the hospital,” the police reported stated. “Police spoke with the girls and arrangements were made,” the report concluded. Police now regularly speak with female hitchhikers, offering information and safe alternatives to the practice of looking for rides.

UNBC salary dispute off to binding arbitration A MEDIATION process to reach a first collective agreement between the University of Northern British Columbia’s faculty association and administration has concluded with the mediator recommending the parties refer the matter to binding arbitration. The UNBC Faculty Association launched a two-week strike in March that ended only when the University applied for mediation under a special process specifically for first collective agreements. The recently established faculty association union, which represents 360 instructors and others, has been in negotiations and then mediation with the university since May 2014 in an attempt to reach a first agreement. The union issued 72-hour strike notice Monday, March 2 and erected picket lines, including at the Terrace campus, March 5. Students returned to school two weeks later after the university applied for the special mediation. “At the conclusion of that process, [the university] board-appointed mediator Trev-
or Sones recommended that the parties refer the matter to binding arbitration,” reads a release from the faculty association. The hearings will take place this fall after meeting with both parties, confirmed arbitrator Stan Lanyon. “We look forward to meeting with Mr Lan-
yon to present our positions and evidence,” said Dr Ted Binnema, chief negotiator of the faculty association. The mediation process could have ended in a contract between the two parties, or mediator recommendation of binding or non-binding mediated arbitration,
arbitration, or continued job action. Faculty members are pressing the university for wage increases they say will bring salaries to levels of other universities. And they say wage increases are needed to both attract and keep faculty members.
Robbery suspect tagged TERRACE RCMP want a 28-yearold Prince Rupert man charged for robbing the Carters Jewellers store on Lakelse Ave. April 22, 2014. And they’ve forwarded information to Crown Counsel lawyers following a lengthy investigation using information provided by the public. “This led to forensic evidence being obtained and connecting this man from Prince Rupert to the robbery. Public assistance is vital for police to effectively conduct
investigations and keep communities safe,” says Const. Angela Rabut of the Terrace RCMP. On April 22, 2014 shortly after 3 p.m., a man entered Carters Jewellers on Lakelse Ave. and smashed out a glass display case with a tool. He then stole more than $80,000 worth of jewelry and fled on foot. More information is welcomed by the RCMP at 250-638-7400 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers by telephone at 1-800-222-
RAISE YOUR HAND FOR CANADA
It’s about numbers A CITY bylaw amendment will make it mandatory to display addresses clearly on each unit of multi-unit complexes. The change to the bylaw governing street addresses was passed through first, second, and third readings at the June 24 city council meeting. It now only needs to be adopted before the changes can take force. The new bylaw will see multi-unit complexes needing to display their civic address on the principle building and then the unit number at the entrance to each unit. Also coming thanks to the amendment is a change to the address height requirements for commercial, industrial, or public buildings. Addresses will need to be at least 15 centimeters tall for better visibility.

We are fortunate to have energy the world needs. But we have a challenge in getting it there.

LNG project aims to be first to ship MID-SIZE CALGARY energy company AltaGas is moving steadily to exploit two separate northwest business deals in the expectation of being the first to ship liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Asian customers. The first by AltaGas is the purchase, completed in late 2011, of Pacific Northern Gas, the region’s natural gas provider. That gave the company control of the region’s only, so far, natural gas pipeline in existence which can connect northeastern gas deposits with an oceanside export facility. And the second, wound up just this year, is the rescuing from insolvency of a consortium’s failed attempt, after nearly eight years of trying, to get into the LNG business. That provided AltaGas, along with partner Indemitsu, a Japanese energy company, and two other companies with specialized services the basics for a $600 million LNG project to be located on the
Douglas Channel near Kitimat. At an estimated 550,000 tonnes of production a year, Douglas Channel LNG, based on a barge-like floating facility, would likely be the smallest such export facility to be built in B.C. But when fed, thanks to an 8km extension of the PNG line which now terminates at the former Methanex site at Kitimat, it could very well be the first LNG project to go into production, says AltaGas vice president Dan Woznow. But that’s contingent on a final investment decision being made by the end of the year, he adds. Aside from the AltaGas/Indemitsu partnership, Douglas Channel LNG consists of a subsidiary of a French energy trading company called Electricite de France S.A. to market the product and EXMAR NV, a Belgian company that would build the floating barge LNG facility. AltaGas’s own stake in the project is $100 million, a relatively
small amount when considering the tens of billions the larger projects would cost. Each company in the consortium brings its own specialty to the project which carries the slogan of ‘small, simple, competitive’, said Woznow. “We’re talking eight LNG tankers a year,” he said. “By no means are we on the scale of the other projects.” The floating LNG producing facility would be secured just offshore of a piece of land which once belonged to Alcan but which has now been turned over to the Haisla. That’s where the pipeline extension will finish and other facilities built to connect with the floating facility. The Haisla in turn have entered a long term lease with Douglas Channel LNG and have negotiated an economic benefits agreement. Aside from the floating LNG-producing facility would be another moored vessel to hold the super-cooled product being produced.

IMAGE OF proposed Douglas Channel LNG project shows a floating liquefaction facility, tanks in which the super-cooled gas would be kept and a tanker that would take it to market. “It’s just like a giant refrigerator – except at -163 degrees Celsius,” noted Woznow. From there the liquefied product will be pumped into waiting LNG tankers. Woznow estimates each tanker will be docked at the location for 10 to 15 days. What makes this project attractive, he continued, is that the technology and equipment has been in service elsewhere, meaning there won’t be any new or site-specific technological components needed. But because of the small size of the project it won’t need to go through the kind of environmental assessment
required by the larger LNG projects. Instead it will fall under the regulatory umbrella of the provincial Oil and Gas Commission which oversees energy developments in northeastern B.C. “It will be a full process,” said Woznow, listing off a series of permits that will be needed. The shipping portion of the project will also be reviewed by a number of federal marine and other agencies to determine best practices, he added. The consortium is also at the beginning stages of connecting First Nations who have interests along the planned route from the
Northern airstrip shuts down THE NON-PROFIT society running a gravel airstrip at Bob Quinn Lake along Hwy37 North is closing it down the end of this month. The society hasn’t qualified for any type of government assistance over the years and it’s never been able to develop a dependable and consistent income based on industrial use, says Keith Routley from the Bob Quinn Lake Airport Society. And now with repairs needed to a portion of the 4,000foot long strip, the society doesn’t have the money for the work, he said. “We’re just a bush airstrip. That’s what you could call it,” said Routley of the airstrip which is 100-feet wide and has no buildings. He was able to get money for the airstrip from companies during periods of industrial activity but when projects finished, those companies moved
on. And in that fashion, the airstrip fell right in line with the boom-bust economic nature of northern resource development, Routley added. Ideas such as placing it within a local government benefitting area to establish a tax stream or acquiring other crown lands and then leasing portions to companies for storage or other uses were not realized. The airstrip’s society did learn this spring of a provincial program but it would require the society to put up 25 per cent of the budget for any work and that’s money the society just doesn’t have, said Routley. The society runs on a shoestring with Routley acting, as he calls himself, its “chief cook and bottle washer” and society founder. Closing would be a shame because the airstrip is centrally
located to potential resource projects, Routley continued, because it’s in a climatic zone where warm air reduces the amount of snowfall and it has a reliable approach. It was built by the province during the last days of Bill Vander Zalm’s Social Credit government in 1990, he said. “Back then it was what you could call the Iskut gold rush. There was a lot of activity. The worry was that the Americans would benefit by coming up the Stikine River to supply the camps,” said Routley. That convinced the government of the day to counter any American activity by constructing the airstrip. Its longest user was the Eskay Creek gold mine which closed in 2008. It was also used to an extend by NovaGold for its Galore Creek project before cost overruns shut down work there and just lately, it saw use during construction of BC
Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line. For several years, the airstrip was on the list of stops as part of a seasonal service by Northern Thunderbird Airlines from either Smithers or Terrace. At the beginning of June, AltaGas used the airstrip to bring in company officials and others for the official opening of its run of river power projects on the Iskut River. Officially closing the airstrip, which will happen when its insurance runs out at the end of this month, means filing notices with aviation authorities, placing a large ‘X’ made out of white plastic strips on its surface, removing a windsock and removing oil barrels which now act as boundary markers. “But we couldn’t stop people from using it if they wanted to anyway,” said Routley of the airstrip.
Douglas Channel to the ocean. Douglas Channel LNG will mirror larger planned projects in that it will use its own natural gas to generate its own electricity. “We did consider BC Hydro but we wanted to keep it simple and to make it work,” said Woznow. Provided a final investment decision is made at the end of this year, production is scheduled to start in 2018. Woznow said it could take up to 36 months to construct the floating facility overseas and then transport it to the Douglas Channel location. The facility will re-
Dan Woznow quire up to 70 employees to operate it when finished and the multiplier effect of generating work in the service support sector means anywhere from another 150 to 200 jobs will be created.

THE FORMER Kerby property on Lanfear Hill leading toward the bench is up for rezoning to permit a multi-family residential complex.
From front
Rezoning delayed That’s pending more information about traffic plans for Lanfear Hill. City staff have determined that a traffic impact study may be mandated in this case if the developer intends to put more than 50 units on the property. The property, perched at the top of Lanfear Hill offering a view of Terrace and area, once belonged to Mamie and Fred Kerby and was sold last year for $1.28 million. It’s not the only large piece of property up for development in that area of the bench. Further north along Thomas, a large piece of land was sold – and then cleared – immediately adjacent to Uplands Elementary last year for another housing project. And west of the proposed former Kerby property development along McConnell toward Northwest Community College, another Vancouver-based company has plans. SwissReal wants to build a 35-unit townhouse complex on 2.7 acres on the 5100 Block of McConnell. That’s almost across the street from a single-family subdivision now sporting several homes under construction. The SwissReal development, which has yet to start, is to feature three-bedroom units carrying a price tag of anywhere from $370,000 to $390,000, company president Franz Gehriger told council here in the spring. And on Halliwell, also on the bench, a southern B.C. company has plans to build 12 duplexes amounting to 24 units on acreage Munroe next year. Those developments would also increase the amount of traffic going up and down Lanfear Hill.

Community Newspapers We’re at the heart of things™ Afonso Rodrigues Tomas February 8, 1928 - June 13, 2015
Afonso Rodrigues Tomas passed peacefully at home on Saturday, June 13, 2015 at the age of 87 years. He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Maria do Rosario; his three children, Joe (Susan), Ligia and Clayton (Anna-Marie) along with his seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Afonso was born in the village of Lajedo on the island of Flores, Acores on February 8, 1928. He immigrated to Terrace in 1959 with his family. His family was raised in a home he built himself while working multiple jobs. His determination and work ethic saw him build thriving businesses, including Riverside Meats and the Skeena Driving School, which he owned for over a decade. He enjoyed spending his time fishing and in his garden. Afonso was a pillar of strength for his family and his love, humour, stubbornness and bravery will be missed in equal measure. His memorial service was held on Saturday, June 20, 2015 at Sacred Heart Parish in Terrace. The family wishes to thank everyone for the kindness and love, shown in so many ways, during this sad time. We also want to thank each of you for helping us celebrate his life at the Memorial Mass.

Dojo feels the hunger TERRACE SHOGUN Dojo sensei Amber Pipe says despite the club’s recent success at the Montreal tournament, the club won’t be returning to the WKU National Championships. And she says that’s mostly because of how she was treated as a woman martial artist and club owner by the tournament’s organizers. “The disrespect to me was over the top,” she said. “I can’t handle being treated like a piece of dirt just because I’m a woman. If you want to treat me like a piece of dirt, at least I want to know that I’ve done something.” Instead, the club will focus on attending open tournaments that offer more opportunities to fight – and more diverse competition. “That’s what our kids are looking for,” said sensei Rajan Sangha. “You go there, you pay your money, and you fight.” And if one thing was clear after the latest competition, it’s that Shogun’s martial artists are hungry for more fights – and serious about preparing for those fights. “Getting the experience, being able to fight against five guys at one tournament kind of opens up their mind that they need to learn more things,” said Sangha. “They’re back here hungry and training again two days

after we got back... we gave them the option of taking a month off and it was a unanimous decision to get right back to training.” As is typically the case, the athletes ended up competing against people with years more experience. “They’ve been black belts
since they were 14 years old, training since they were three,” said Sangha. One highlight was new fighter Zach Lawley’s fourth in point fighting. “He had a real tough category,” said Sangha. “He lost by one point in overtime
and fought against a black belt. He’s basically a white belt.” Pipe added that Lawley was integral to the strong start program she ran this year. “He’s a role model.”

Nightmares pick up new strategy down south THE NORTH Coast Nightmares roller derby team hit the road earlier this month, attending their biggest tournament yet – Summer Slam 2015 at Minoru Arena in Richmond. The tournament saw 22 teams from all over B.C. face off against similarly ranked squads and was welcome opportunity for the Nightmares to beef up their skills and go up against fresh competition. “It was full on roller derby all weekend,” said co-captain and vice president Jessica “Marge Sins Some” Hogg. The team’s four bouts of the tournament – and hours upon hours spent spectating – upped their experience level, meaning the team’s final home bout of the season in the coming weeks will be one to watch. “All of our games were really amazing experience-wise,” she said. “We played teams that we would never normally play and play differently.” In roller derby, reffing can really determine a game, she said. So playing with different referees than the ones in the northern league was a learning experience. Refs will “make calls in different ways. We were getting penalties that we didn’t normally get. Had to adjust our game. What a great way to learn.” The team “learned some strategies that we weren’t able to defend against” and will be incorporating some new plays into their

THE NORTH Coast Nightmares are keeping their eyes on the track heading into their final bout of the season. next game and into next season. In true northern fashion, Terrace travelled the furthest and brought the smallest squad to the tournament – 10 Nightmares and a
player picked up from Quesnel. But that didn’t stop them from putting up a strong fight. “We faced teams that had 20 people sit-
ting on their bench ready to play, and we’re with 11 ... but that’s kind of the way we roll,” she said. “One of my favourite things is when you surprise the other team,” she said, referring to a close bout against the Sun City Sirens. “They think they’re going to field their new skaters and all of the sudden he’s yanking his new skaters and throwing in his pickups and his ringers. That’s a pretty good feeling, we’ve done that a few times. People shouldn’t underestimate our little northern team.” And now the team is ready for a true northern bout, welcoming the PG Rated grey team to Terrace for the first time July 11 at the Terrace Sportsplex. The Nightmares played this team last year and beat them and are anticipating a competitive match. Summer Smackdown is the team’s last game of the season and unlike other bouts in the past, the team is capping tickets at 500 – get your ticket early so you don’t miss out. Prince George is also hosting a boot camp reffing clinic the next day. The Nightmares are always looking for new refs – that’s something Hogg says was underscored this year with the increase in home bouts. “People who are interested in becoming part of the roller derby community but yet not stoked on the performance part – because derby is half sport, half spectacle,” she said.

hen I pass Kozier Road, and I pass it often on my way to the Lakelse River or the rocky, fish rich shingles on the right side of the lower Skeena, I think of Len. One of the last homesteaders in this province, Len first acquired some land through a crown lease just downstream of Hells Gate Slough in 1970 and quickly realized if he was going to build a house he needed to get some higher ground. Ultimately, he obtained a tract of forest at the end of the road now named after him and began logging and clearing. Len was raised in Richmond in the 1950s, a time before the invention of bubble wrap and helicopter parenting. He grew up on a farm not large enough to justify the expense of buying a tractor, but big enough to require chores from the children who lived on it. Like the kids who grew up then, Len spent a lot of time outside, played unsupervised, and participated in unorganized sports, that is, activities not lacking in organization but sports organized by him and his peers. It was the kind of childhood that created a generation of kids free of notions of entitlement and full of the confidence that convinced them if they set their minds to it, they could solve whatever problems and overcome whatever obstacles stood in the way of their goals. Len graduated from university with a Bachelor’s degree in Education, but soon realized he would rather be working outside than under the artificial light of neon tubes.

Dojo feels the hunger The club has welcomed another new athlete to the group, Josh Sangha, Rajan’s cousin. He earned silver in advanced sparring and bronze in black belt sparring. “Really good for him because he’s never had a tournament before,” said Sangha, noting that he’s only been training seriously for a few months. Sangha said Adrian Babcock’s performance – gold in continuous, bronze in point fighting – stood out for him. “His continuous fighting is probably the best of the club,” he said. “He’s so athletic and naturally skilled that he just excels.” Sangha himself had a close match – losing by a technical point in the point fighting finals to take silver. Pipe said this was actually a good thing. “That fight was anybody’s fight,” she said. “But he needed to lose because if you’re always winning you’re not growing. Now he has a hunger to grow and try new things.” She had a similar sentiment for Robbie Cline, who took home bronze in point and silver in continuous. “When Robbie started with us Robbie was winning everything, almost became unteachable,” she said, noting that his continuous fight was rough and that they have “things to work on now ... When you’re always on top there is nowhere to grow.” And both praised Nick Yasinchuk for the hard work he put in leading up to the tournament. “He went above and beyond the call of duty and really excelled in both of his styles of fighting,” said Pipe. Jenna Hoornenborg, who earned gold in continuous and silver in point fighting, had a particularly standout tournament. “She fought an adult in a higher weight class and she beat her senseless, there was no contest,” said Pipe. Next up, the team plans to travel to New Orleans to fight in the first of their open-style tournaments. research was much more difficult. Undaunted, Len learned that CASAW local one, the union representing the workers at Alcan had hired Dr. Shirley Connibear, an authority of international renown with numerous peer reviewed papers to her credit on the effects of fluorides on people, to examine the fluoride emissions in Kitimat in hopes of shaming the corporation into making improvements that would lessen worker exposure inside the smelter. Alcan hired an academic gunslinger to combat Dr. Connibear’s findings but ultimately made improvements. The more Len, and the rest of us, found out about the downwind effects of aluminum smelter effluent, the more troubled we became. Len recalled that there was an aluminum smelter not so far from his childhood home in the lower mainland. He remembered it being built near Ferndale, then commencing operations in the late 1960s. While on a visit to the lower mainland, he made the drive across the border into Washington’s Whatcom County bound for Ferndale. As he passed through miles and miles of farmland similar to that in the Fraser Valley, he tried to imagine an aluminum smelter the proportions of the Alcan facility in the Kitimat estuary in the pastoral setting surrounding him and concluded it must be significantly smaller. He passed Ferndale, a city a population similar to that of Smithers, turned west on Mountainview Road and there it was in the distance. Continued next week…

Lower gas rates possible Douglas Channel LNG’s ownership group anticipates making a final investment decision the end of this year. Based on that a forecast construction schedule has the facility going into production in 2018, meaning that’s the earliest date a northwest rate reduc-
tion could be expected. Northwest gas rates based on shouldering all of the costs of maintaining the Pacific Northern Gas pipeline began climbing when the utility started losing major industrial customers, among them being the Methanex methanol plant in Kitimat which
closed in 2006. An added strain on northwestern gas users came when the price of the commodity itself began to climb in the latter part of the last decade. And while the price of gas itself has fallen in recent years, the high transport costs remain a
major factor on northwestern gas user bills. AltaGas will need to build an 8km extension of the Pacific Northern Gas Kitimat branch line which now stops at the closed Methanex plant to the planned Douglas Channel LNG project location. Pacific Northern
Gas rates are subject to regular scrutiny and approval by the provincial B.C. Utilities Commission. As is the case with all utilities, Pacific Northern Gas passes along the price of natural gas to its customers. It is not permitted to add to that cost.
Correction IN THE June 24 issue of The Terrace Standard, the story “Kimmunity Angels take reins at Sunday Market at Skeena Landing,” mistakenly said that the namesake of the Kimmunity Angels, Kim, had lost her battle with cancer. Kim is alive and inspiring others with her fight against cancer. The Kimmunity Angels group is this year’s sponsor and organizer of the Sunday Market.

The speed limit on that stretch of Hwy 37 is 100 kilometres an hour. “This is the fastest speed that I have seen in my 12 years in the RCMP,” said Constable David Desa of the West Pacific Region Traffic Services Unit who successfully stopped the driver of the Suzuki GSX-R 1000. The motorcycle was impounded for seven days and the male driver is facing charges of excessive speed under Section 148 of the Motor Vehicle Act. “With the speed the driver was traveling, he would not have been able to react to anything that happened in front of him and could easily have been involved in a serious collision,” said Desa. Desa was going in the opposite direction of the motorcycle and when he turned on his lights, the motorcyclist stopped. The scheduled fine for the speed that the motorcycle was going is $483. However, due to the fact that he was going 125 km/hr over the speed limit, the driver was given a court date instead of a violation ticket, said police. Police remind motorcyclists to be aware of the other road users. The driver is from outside of the province, said police. Impoundment of the vehicle is mandatory for an excessive speed situation and excessive speed is defined as traveling at 41 kilometres and hour or more above the speed limit.
