Mill closes temporarily

Wednesday, July 8, 2015

By JOSH MASSEY HOT WEATHER and cool markets in China have resulted in the almost total closure of Skeena Sawmills, the city’s only large sawmill. Mill official Roger Keery said the continuing hot weather has brought on extremely dry conditions in the woods, resulting in a slowdown of activity and a resulting shortage of logs for the mill. There’s also been a slowdown in the Chinese lumber market meaning that the mill’s production has been piling up at port facilities in Prince Rupert and at its site on Hwy16 just west of town. A skeleton crew of 10 people from what was a 90-person workforce is at work and the mass layoff will last at least a month, says Keery. “When we first saw this coming, we said we were going to take one month off, and I expect it’s going to be at least that. Beyond that I don’t want to say,” said Keery last week of the layoffs which took place two weeks ago. He said the Chinese demand for lumber cooled off after the government raised interest rates. Until the wood starts selling again, Skeena Sawmills won’t be operating at full capacity, Keery said. “They currently have about two months production in Rupert, and a month and a half of production here,” he said. “We simply haven’t been able to move our volume.” About 15 per cent of the mill’s production was planned for specialty timber markets in North America, but the fire hazard has meant that the logging company, Terrace Timber, who supplies Skeena Sawmills with raw logs, had to shut down operations on June 17. “Our logging sites right now are under a severe fire hazard threat, so we have had to shut them down and it’s impacted our log supply, so we are short on logs and don’t have enough wood coming in to run the business right now,” said Keery. Logging operations in this area are mainly done with a cable system, which means fire vulnerability because of the friction from moving cables on dry land. Employees are represented by the United Steelworkers Union and union business agent Rick Nelson said they’ll be relying on employment insurance once through their waiting period. “They don’t get any money when they are laid off. They can apply for employment insurance. They are hourly workers, they are not on salary,” he said. Workers on employment insurance receive 55 per cent of their earnings to a maximum of $524 a week. “Obviously there may be some other issues internally going on, whether it be finances or whatnot, but I am not privy to that,” Nelson added. “The planer mill is shut down completely. Some of the office staff have also been laid off. The remaining crew is doing some chipping and limited sawing of lumber.” And while the layoff will be a blow to the area, Keery says there is light at the end of the tunnel, as the Chinese markets are already rebounding.

Developer backs off THE POSTPONEMENT of a Vancouver developer’s plans for a multi-family complex at the top of Lanfear Hill might give the city the time it needs to fully study traffic flow on the Bench, say city officials. Increased traffic was a focal point of resident opposition to the plans by a numbered company from Vancouver to build up to 69 housing units on the property at 3725 Thomas, known as the old Kerby home, which overlooks the city near the top of the hill. The residents’ resistance to the development surfaced at a June 22 hearing regarding the company’s applica-

tion to rezone the five-acre property from single-family residential to multifamily residential. Council then decided to continue the hearing on July 13 after inviting company representatives to speak inperson about their plans. But the company then told the city last week it wouldn’t be appearing and said it was putting its development on hold for an unspecified length of time, indicating they wouldn’t revisit it until sometime next year. And this gives the city time to look at the traffic bottleneck on Lanfear Hill, says city councillor Brian Downie.

“Over the past two years, I have noticed that traffic has really built up alongside the improvement of the economy,” said Downie. “And the developments on the Bench bring us to more of an issue sooner rather than later. “I have been concerned about congestion for a while and I think that [traffic on Lanfear Hill] is just another example of congestion that needs to be looked at now,” he said. Downie said that he would like to see the city focus on Lanfear in a study to prevent the problems on the hill from becoming worse.

Vacancy rate on the rise

TERRACE’S RENTAL vacancy rate continues to tick upward after its plunge to zero a year-and-ahalf ago, indicates a new report. But while it may be easier to find a room, the price of renting those rooms is up. According to Canada’s Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s biannual rental market survey, Terrace’s rental vacancy rate for apartments and townhouses as of April this year was 3.4 per cent – up from 0.7 per cent in April 2014. That’s a net increase of 22 rental units. The survey, conducted twice a year, is a snapshot of the year-to-year rental picture. The December 2014 report showed a similar picture with the vacancy rate at 3.4 per cent, in large part because of more two-bedroom units. Meanwhile, between April 2014 and April 2015, rent for those units increased by 10.9 per cent on average, with the average monthly rent of townhouses and apartments by bedroom type – bachelor apartments and one to three bedrooms – increasing from $716 to $810. Terrace is the only city in the survey to see a double digit rent percentage increase in this category and is eighth highest in the province. The provincial average went from $996 to $1,022. The average cost of a bachelor apartment went from $520 to $566, an increase of 2.4. per cent, while a one bedroom saw its price increase 8.2 per cent from $605 to $654, on average. The price of a two bedroom increased 9.4 per cent to $815 from $734. But the biggest increase was in the price for a three-bedroom unit which rose 15 per cent – $867 last year to $1,052 this year.

Sawmill closes down for now Without the fire hazard, he said 25 per cent of the workforce could be at work milling wood for the specialty markets, but strong markets in China dictate the operation of the mill in the long term. Skeena Sawmills has an ownership structure rooted in China through a company called Roc Holdings Ltd. and represented locally through Vancouver businessman Teddy Cui. Roc Holdings purchased the operation from previous owner West Fraser in the spring of 2011 and re-opened it the following year with the intention of eventually running two shifts a day. The sale by West Fraser included Crown timber tenures amounting to hundreds of thousands of cubic metres of wood a year. At the time of the sale, the sawmill had a single shift capacity of 90 million board feet per year. The sawmill closed in mid-2007 during a labour dispute and never did fully re-open when that dispute ended in the fall of 2007. West Fraser cited poor American markets as the reason for not re-opening. The mill did operate sporadically, chipping logs for West Fraser’s Eurocan pulp mill in Kitimat. That mill closed in early 2010.

Developer puts plan on hold Councillor Stacey Tyers shares Downie’s concerns, but she thinks that the city is already taking the right steps to address traffic issues in all of Terrace through a transportation study. “We are already doing a transportation study for all of Terrace and I trust our city staff to be aware of what needs to happen,” she said. The aforementioned study will be undertaken by the city this year and Lanfear Hill will be part of the study, but it is meant to provide an overview of the transportation system as a whole in Terrace, rather than look at a problem in a specific neighbourhood, says the city. The city’s development department indicated that it would be interested in doing a study focused on Lanfear if the developer exceeds 50 units on the Kerby property at the top of the hill. However, now that the company has put their development on hold, this means that they will have to apply again to rezone the property at the top of Lanfear, which means another public hearing will have to called likely sometime next year. And, with the project not going ahead, the developer is not bound to take part in any traffic studies that the city might do. Aside from the Vancouver developer’s plans for the property, there are three other developments either planned or underway in the vicinity of Lanfear Hill that would increase traffic. On the 5100 Block of McConnell leading toward the college from the intersection of McConnell and the top of Lanfear is another multifamily development project being proposed by SwissReal, another developer. It plans to build 35 townhouse units on the 2.7 acres. Just across McConnell from the SwissReal property is a new single-family residential subdivision. Further north along Thomas, a large piece of land was sold and cleared next to Uplands Elementary last year for a housing project. And on Halliwell, also on the bench, a company from southern B.C. plans to build 12 duplexes amounting to 24 units next year near the intersection with Munroe.

Final chapter written with bakery closure BY CECILE FAVRON THE AREA’S last connection to what was once the thriving Terrace Co-op Association retail complex on Greig Ave. has ended with the late June closure of the Cookie Jar Bakery on Lazelle Ave. When a declining economy and a change in consumer habits forced the closure of the Co-op in 1998, the two people who ran its bakery, John Wiebenga and Markus Klein, moved the equipment to Lazelle Ave. to carry on the tradition of providing fresh-baked breads, cookies and cakes. “It was really pressure from our customers that got us to [open the Cookie Jar Bakery],” explained Wiebanga who ran the Co-op bakery for 24 years. “When we opened in the fall [of 1998] after the Co-op closed in the spring, people lined up outside down the street.” After Wiebenga retired more than a decade ago, Klein continued baking the famous Co-op recipes (often starting at 2 a.m. and continuing on well into the next business day) which he sold to the businesses in Terrace and Kitimat and to customers. Lately, Klein felt like he was running

LONGTIME EMPLOYEE Madeline Ratcliff hands out a box of baked goods to a customer during the Cookie Jar Bakery’s last day June 27. out of steam and he decided that it was time to retire. He tried to sell the business last year, and he says that some people were interested, “but once they saw how much work was involved, they didn’t want to take it on.” A steady stream of customers visited the bakery on June 27, its last day, to purchase goods.

The space that the Cookie Jar used to own has now been sold to another business and most of the bakery’s equipment has been donated to Northwest Community College to help expand its culinary arts program. “It’s nostalgic for me because a lot of [the equipment] is from the Co-op, that’s why it was nice to see the college

take them. For me it’s part of Terrace’s history – it’s the same stuff that was there when I started at the Co-op 35 years ago,” Klein said. Klein is looking forward to not being constantly tied down at the business, but it is a bittersweet moment, he said. The Co-op property is now owned by the City of Terrace which

has a tentative deal to sell a large portion of the land, pending receiving a clean environmental bill of health, to a Calgary hotel developer. The large retail complex at the location which contained a grocery store, hardware store, clothing store, gas bar, cafeteria and other services was demolished in 2011.

Local law firm sold to larger network TERRACE HAS become the latest location for a business plan which gathers law firms in smaller cities in B.C. under one administrative structure. And that’s by the purchase by Heartland Law LLP of Talstra and Company, the practice started in 1976 by former Terrace mayor Jack Talstra who passed away late last year. The idea, explains Heartland senior managing partner Julian Kenney from 100 Mile House, is that anyone walking into a Heartland office at any location can have the services of its lawyers at any other office. “What we can do is offer a full range of services no matter where you live,” he said. The key is using modern communications technology to connect each of the offices as if they were in the same spot.

“Yet we also want to keep the local character and history of the local offices,” said Kenney. Kenney developed the idea with another lawyer in 100 Mile House several years ago and before Terrace, expanded to Kamloops and Penticton. He expects other locations to be added within central B.C. shortly as well as expanding a presence in Vancouver. The idea of one multi-service law firm with multiple offices is also meant to act as an alternative to people and businesses having to rely on large Vancouver firms, said Kenney. And in this area, Kenney sees much potential in developing a specialty in aboriginal business law and services as more First Nations become part of the regional economic development and industrial

Fibre optics to beam into Nass

PASSENGER COUNTS at the Northwest Regional Airport have risen to the point manager Carman Hendry is working on an elaborate plan to bring fire and rescue service to the facility.

Firefighting service coming to airport IT’S NOT even 10 a.m. on a weekday morning and another passenger aircraft pulls up outside the office of Northwest Regional Airport manager Carman Hendry. A quick glance of a schedule shows it’s the fifth passenger aircraft that morning to either arrive or leave. And that kind of activity is behind what’s occupying Hendry’s time nowadays – the airport’s passenger numbers are now such it’s obligated by federal regulations to provide an aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARF in the regulatory acronym) service. Monthly totals have dipped this year compared to last year when preparatory field and other work for liquefied natural gas plants and natural gas pipelines was at its height throughout the region but the airport continues to record very healthy numbers and to keep being the busiest airport in the region. The in-service date is September based on passengers counts for recent six-month intervals, explains Hendry. “Once we reach those levels of 180,000 [passengers] for those six month periods, we then have one year to bring in the service,” he said of the September date. The standard to meet is exact – federal regulations state a rescue/firefighting vehicle has to be at the mid-point of the farthest runway within three minutes of being called out. While the airport has existing aid agreements with both the City of Terrace and the Thornhill Volunteer Fire departments, there’s no way, other than stationing a vehicle at the airport, they could ever meet that standard. But Hendry said those agreements will be kept as the airport’s employees

will have a very specific role to play if needed. Their prime function will be to lay down a path of foam from so those on board an aircraft have a safe passage out and to cool down the fuselage of an aircraft. “They won’t actually be going into the interior of the aircraft,” said Hendry. The airport has already started training its employees to add firefighting to their job skills. “With the exception of myself, and the people in the office, everyone’s undergoing training,” said Hendry. The first phase of training was theory and took place in a classroom in preparation for the hands on component. Hendry’s prime challenge leading toward the expected September start date for firefighting service is having the kind of sophisticated one-operator firetruck it needs here on time. Although one arm of Transport Canada requires the service, another arm, the one that would provide the airport with the approximately $1 million needed to buy a truck, has yet to sign off on the money. “We can’t just go out and order one. That’s not allowed. We have to wait for approval,” said Hendry. Even with approval, the task of soliciting bids and then choosing a winning bid and then waiting for delivery could take up to a year. It’s a quandry Hendry says might be solved by either applying for an extension of the firefighting in-service date or by renting a vehicle. Along with a vehicle, a shelter will be needed and again, it’s a matter of again waiting for Transport Canada to

supply the money for construction. The current plan is to attach a bay equipped with high speed overhead doors for the new truck to the airport’s existing services building where its other equipment is stored. “It means we’ll only need three walls, not four,” Hendry said of the construction details. While the airport works its way through the paperwork of acquiring a firetruck, shelter and training, it now faces a second challenge. The addition of direct flights to and from Calgary this spring have put the airport into a higher regulatory category of landings and takeoffs so that a second firetruck will now be needed. That’s because a single firetruck can’t carry the amount of foam and water required to meet the higher standard based on the number of aircraft movements. It means a renewed round of applications to Transport Canada for money, more bids for a firetruck and the construction of a second bay addition to its services building. “We’ll be following the same path we are now,” said Hendry. Despite the complexity, the result will be a firefighting service aimed at the safety of the airport’s passenger, he said. “It’s a natural evolution of our business and it’s exciting,” Hendry added. There are also other advantages to be had by being the only northwest airport to have on-site firefighting capability. “We often get requests from companies to provide the service,” said Hendry. “So in that respect, it opens up a whole new world for marketing.”

YEARS OF planning and effort is about to pay off with the provision of high-speed digital communications in and out of the Nass Valley. Thanks to an agreement with BC Hydro, homes, businesses and public sector facilities in the Nass are to benefit via a fibre optics cable running along the length of the provincial crown corporation’s Northwest Transmission Line. There is already high speed internet service in the Nass Valley through various means, including microwave transmission, but being able to tie directly into the fibre optics capability through the transmission line system will mean much faster data speed for more people and plenty of bandwidth for everyone, says the director of Lisims Communications, one of two communications entities owned by the Nisga’a Lisims Government. “What we’re going to have is more than enough to meet our needs for now and into the future,” said Gary Patsey. Current services such as tele-medicine in which diagnostic and other images are digitally transmitted and educational broadcast offerings for schools will have the benefit of the higher speed connections, he added. Wifi service and cell phone service will also be enhanced, Patsey added. When in full service, and the middle of July is the target date, the Nisga’a connection into the fibre optics network will start in Terrace at a facility run by communications provider Navigata. Some areas of the Nass Valley, notably the villages of New Aiyansh, Greenville and Gitwinksilkw have fibre optics lines connecting them already within the valley. And by October, there’ll be a fibre optic line connecting Gingolx at the mouth of the Nass River, said Patsey. The arrangement to use the BC Hydro fibre optics system was one of the benefits negotiated between the crown corporation and the Nisga’a Lisims Government in return for having the Northwest Transmission Line go through Nisga’a territory. “We’re going to break out at Nass Camp and then jump off into our system,” said Patsey. The Nisga’a Lisims Government is managing telecommunications services in the Nass through two entities it owns – enTel, which in the telecommunications business is called a last mile provider because it delivers connections to clients, and Lisims Communications which operates the fibre optics service. “When we looked at it, it was feasible to proceed with our own project and connectivity,” said Patsey of service in and out of the Nass Valley. Provision is also being made for other service providers to hook into enTel facilities in the Nass, said Patsey. Prospective customers could include companies with industrial projects in the area or telecommunications companies wishing to sell cellphone and other services of their own, he said. BC Hydro’s own use for fibre optics on the Northwest Transmission Line is to provide data and operations information on the line’s performance. In case of power outages or disruptions, sections of the line can then be shut down to avoid damage. The fibre optic cable sends information from the substations to BC Hydro’s control centre where the BC grid is monitored and controlled. The Nisga’a Lisims Government has been working on high speed service into the Nass Valley for more than decade. Former BC premier Mike Harcourt, acting in his capacity as the board chair of a Nisga’a Lisims Government-owned umbrella group which has enTel under its jurisdiction, brought the matter up as far back as 2008. Speaking at a Nisga’a Lisims Government conference, Harcourt outlined the plan to provide internet service. At one point he held up his own smartphone at the conference, proclaiming “I can’t use my Blackberry.” Using the Northwest Transmission Line as a fibre optics conduit turned out to be more efficient and more manageable than a previous plan to run the line on wooden poles parallel to Hwy113 into the Nass Valley. “This way it’s also safer,” said Patsey. “We’re high on the [transmission line] towers and out of the way.”

EDITORIAL

Housing TERRACE mayor Carol Leclerc is absolutely correct in saying there’s no way the city can force a developer to build 105 units of townhousestyle housing on a piece of prime real estate it sold to the developer last year. Current market forces affecting external and internal economics has put that project on the corner of Park and Kenney, at least for now, on the shelf. But crucially also on the shelf is what the city had expected to be its showcase commitment to affordable housing – a deal on the part of the developer that should it build, 20 per cent of those units would be rented out at less than market value to folks of lower than average income. (For the city’s part, it also helped that the purchase price of $951,000 was significantly above the property’s valuation.) It would be far too easy to criticize the city for what has happened. As innovative as the city’s negotiators were in this deal (an affordable housing component plus extra cash), if a developer cannot marry up the complicated math of costs versus anticipated income versus return on investment applied against market demand plus any number of other intangibles, construction simply won’t happen. Did the city overreach? Perhaps. But it’s important to note that affordable housing is not within its mandate. That’s a job for senior governments.

Lack of heavy fines found distracting

hy is British C o l u m b i a ’s justice minister tippy toeing around raising fines for distracted driving? Last year alone 88 deaths were chalked up to distracted driving. Does that tally not convince the minister present fines are not deterring motorists from talking or texting on a cell phone while driving? Our current fine of $167 for a first offence is the lowest in all of Canada except for Quebec, where the fine is $154. Nova Scotia’s fine of $579 is highest of all provinces. Ontario fines repeat offenders $1,000. Why so much sympathy for the pocket books of distracted drivers? Distracted driving is a crime of choice. Drivers have plenty of time to choose whether or not to break the law. If they persist in flouting the law let them suffer the highest fine judges can be persuaded to levy. If the fines are mandatory, all the better. I have no sympathy whatever for any motorist who might suffer a hefty fine, have points added to his driv-

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI ers’ license, even have his license suspended or his vehicle impounded. You know when you turn the key in the ignition what the penalty will be if you’re caught by police. If you choose to drive and chat or text, don’t show up in court to appeal your punishment. Count yourself super lucky if you didn’t kill or main one or more innocent people before the cops pulled you over. B.C. is midway in conducting a nine-question online poll asking for citizens’ input into raising penalties for distracted driving. Only 5 per cent of respondents

come from the B.C. Interior. Younger people are also under-represented. Why is that? So far, 90 per cent of respondents want stiffer fines for distracted driving. I agree. There are those who label any raising of fines as nothing more than a government cash grab. I don’t see it that way. If drivers are too bullheaded to learn from the current petty fine, bring on a heftier fine. And if you truly believe a higher fine is a cash grab, there’s a sure way to avoid it -- don’t drive distracted. I don’t care how high the government raises a first fine, or incremental fines for repeat offenders. I’ll never be caught chatting or texting on a cellphone as I drive. I don’t own a cellphone. I don’t need one. I can make a four-hour trip to town without a cellphone. You won’t find me standing in the bank lineup and taking a call from someone with the words, “Where you at?” I know where my family and friends are. Or at least where they are likely to be. Nothing is so urgent we must phone each other during those four hours.

I can even shop several stores for groceries or wait an hour in a doctor’s office without touching base with anyone. There are two types of crimes -- involuntary crimes that are purely accidental, happen without intent, and cannot be foreseen. Or voluntary crimes where the perpetrator plans and intends to commit the crime, for instance murder, arson or distracted driving. The voluntary crime offers the perpetrator a choice, and time to consider the pros and cons of doing the deed. If he still chooses to carry out the crime – like driving while talking or texting on a cell phone – he deserves the highest fine possible. Nothing less will deter anyone who has yet to give up his distracting ways in the face of mounting evidence to its deadly and dreadful consequences. Shame on justice minister Suzanne Anton if she is too weak kneed to heed citizens’ call. Nothing short of sky high fines will deter some drivers.

The Mail Bag On the fly

Freedoms under attack

Dear Sir: We live amongst the best fishing waters in the world. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a newspaper report/columnist that actually reports whose catching what, how and where. Nope, we have the Skeena Angler, nothing more than a lobbyist for a narrow-minded special interest group, hell bent on banning roe, spinners, spoons, drift rigs and now, pink rubber worms. Why is it that “flies” are OK? Feathers, wool, thread, glue, beads, tinsel, fur, etc. Natural? Flies? Rob states its harder to catch a fish on a fly. Really? There are two types of fishermen, good and bad. Some are conscientious, others not. Their style of fishing does not determine this. I’ve witnessed plenty of bad fly fishers. They too boast of 20-plus fish days. The survival of steelhead rest on many factors. Most importantly is the catch and the release. Bring the fish in quickly and release it with care. It doesn’t matter your fishing style. Go out, catch one or two and go home. If the runs are in trouble, then close the stream. Fly fishing only designation is nothing more than a narrow minded special interest group seeking sole allocation. If you’re really concerned with steelhead survival, Rob, preach quick catch and safe release. Why oh why can the Skeena system be open year round downstream of Cedarvale? Shut it all down Jan 1 June 1. By the way Rob, orange, white, and black rubber worms work great, too. Fish for all or fish for none. Rod Naber, Kitwanga, B.C.

Dear Sir: The federal government is working very hard right now to ensure we as a country are frightened of terrorists enough so that we will not mind surrendering our privacy and civil rights. How real is the threat of terrorism in Canada? Real enough as it turns out, but does the actual level of risk to Canadians as individuals warrant our submission to continuous surveillance and allowing the federal government to violate our Constitutional rights “legally”? I chose to look at terrorism in Canada over the last 30 years, using 1985 as my cut-off date. There have actually been a surprising number of terrorist attacks in Canada during that time. These have included bombings of legislative buildings in PEI, pipelines in the Peace, fire bombings of Jewish schools, etc. Also in 1985 a group of Armenians stormed the Turkish embassy in Ottawa, killing one security guard. Newspaper editor Tara Singh Hayer was shot and paralyzed in 1986 in what Peter MacKay would not describe as a terrorist attack. Hayer was finally assassinated in 1998. In 2012 an assassination attempt was made against Pauline Marois after the PQ won the Quebec election. Marois was not injured but one man was killed. In the fall of 2014 two Canadian soldiers were killed in separate incidents. The major event in 1985 of course was the bombing of Air India Flight 182, which took the lives of 268 Canadians. (This was the event that also led to Hayer’s assassination.) That puts my tally of Canadians killed by terrorism in Canada over the last 30 years at a little less than 300.

Budget fiddling - it’s the last thing we need

ith Parliament in Ottawa now wrapped up and not scheduled to resume until after the October federal election, it’s time to consider what will be a key plank in the re-election campaign of the Conservative Party. And that is the budget, which carries the full title of “Strong Leadership: A Balanced-Budget, Low-Tax Plan for Jobs, Growth and Security,” – a hint at the document’s misguided emphasis. There has been and continues to be much clamor about the wizardry of governments producing balanced budgets. There are two approaches to balancing a budget: the accountant’s approach and the philosophical approach. The accountant’s approach is the easy way. All municipalities, from the smallest village to the biggest city balance their budgets year after year. It is a legal requirement of municipal councils that their budgets be balanced. It is unlawful for a municipal council to adopt a deficit budget

where expenditures exceed revenues. How a council balances its budget, whether by increasing revenues, by decreasing expenditures, or by a combination of the two is left to each council’s discretion. The more challenging approach to balancing a budget is the philosophical one. This approach is not concerned with numbers; it is concerned with the values of the common good, that which benefits society as a whole over the long term. The benefits of physical common good assets (infrastructure) such as highways are visible and evident. The differences between a paved highway and a potholeriddled dirt track are many. It is easy to convince users of the dirt track that the money saved by neglecting their road is more than compensated for by the wear and tear suffered by their vehicles. There is greater ambiguity about the benefits to society resulting from decisions on spending for services such as health and education.

GUEST COMMENT

ANDRE CARREL From an accountant’s perspective, raising taxes or reducing grants to universities are equally quick and easy ways to reconcile revenues and expenditures and balance a budget. From a self-serving political perspective it is far easier and less controversial to reduce grants to universities than it would be to raise taxes so as to lower tuition fees.

The consequences of avoiding a tax increase are immediate and positive. The consequences of higher tuition fees are not immediate. For the self-serving politician consequences not being immediate means that whatever consequences there may be, if any, can safely be ignored. Ignoring that political responsibility opens the door to confusion, and confusion is the mother of error. If the objective is to strengthen industry, how can we go about it? One path is to lower the level of taxation on industry. Another path is to increase the funding for education to cultivate a highly qualified workforce. The answer to the philosophical question as to which path is the more likely one to benefit industry in the long-term emerges from a political process. The impact of funding decisions on higher education is not limited to industry. What are the long-term consequences for health care costs when professionals entering their careers carry a mortgage-sized debt for their

education? How do we entice the professionals to open a general practitioner’s office in a smaller community where the potential to earn top dollar is limited? The purpose of a budget is to determine social objectives and their priorities along with a plan by which these philosophical objectives are to be materialized. To balance a budget’s philosophical elements is a political responsibility. It is profoundly undemocratic for a government to inhibit budget deliberations, to alienate debate by inserting unrelated subjects in the budget (omnibus bills), and by imposing limits on the debate (closure). When a budget’s philosophical elements – what society needs and how it will pay for it – are balanced, its financial elements will be in balance too. That is how it works at the municipal level; how it can and should work at the provincial and federal levels, too. Retired public sector administrator Andre Carrel lives in Terrace.

It’s summer so chill out Dear Sir: The summer season of slack thought has sidled in. Three examples in the first issue of the Terrace Standard since the solstice sweat the brain. First, Mayor Carol Leclerc bemoans the stalled construction of affordable housing here and roasts the developer and the over-heated market. But were housing really of interest to our City administration, it would work on citybuilt, like COPE in Vancouver. Partner with First Nations and even the provincial and federal governments, tho’ not the present stew. Second, MP Nathan Cullen, in his letter to the editor on Canada Post, would reverse Stephen Harper’s cuts, even tho’ CP has shown profit in 19 of the last 20

So lets just double the number and call the terrorist death toll 600 over the last 30 years. These are terribly tragic events that are usually indiscriminate. Usually the victims never see it coming. I do not wish to make light of the anguish of individuals and families that are affected in this way, but I want to try to bring a different perspective to these numbers.

3,100 people (mostly Canadian) have won the 649 jackpot. My math isn’t the best but it seems to me when we’re talking about random issues that a Canadian is 5 times more likely to win the 649 jackpot than be killed by a terrorist. Keep that in mind when the Conservative candidate at your door is trying to explain to you why it was necessary to throw out the constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to protect you.

Terrace Standard Wednesday, July 8, 2015

Cherries a bust this year despite earlier hopes FOR MANY, the fruit gathered from local trees in the summer is one of the highlights of the season, so this year’s lack of cherries was a letdown. “We were a bit disappointed because we wanted to bring cherries as a gift to our relatives near Edmonton,” says local resident Ed Credgeur who has one typically productive cherry tree in his Horseshoe home’s backyard. Credgeur was actually expecting more cherries than usual this year because of a large number of blooms on the trees in early spring. But come late June,

Credgeur’s cherry trees just didn’t produce and everyone else he knows says the same thing: it was an off year for that sweet fruit. According to local fruit tree specialist Gordon Watmough, cherry development can get stunted when the buds develop early and then get hit by a cold night or two. However, he says it was still a surprise this year. “I was watching really closely and I didn’t think it got cold enough,” Watmough said. On average, a cherry tree owner can expect a bad year every 8-10 years,

he added. “If you are interested in working with cherry trees, make sure the ground under the tree is not brown, not tilled up because that soaks up the sun and starts the cherry tree too early,” said Watmough. “It [the soil at the base of the tree] needs to be grassy or covered to reflect the heat back so it doesn’t soak into the ground and start the tree too early. That works.” “Also, the city water is pretty cold and you could slow the tree down with city water, that helps a bit sometimes, little tricks like that,” Watmough added.

SOLD

Watmough sees at least one positive from the lack of cherries this year – cherry flies might starve. “It might be a blessing in a way, the cherry flies might go hungry. And cherry flies are an awful nuisance here... they have been going crazy because there just aren’t enough cherries.” Other fruit trees, such as the popular apple, can also be ravaged by pests. Without dedicated spraying and careful pruning, worms will destroy the fruiting process early in the season and the limbs will be bare come the fall harvest.

Alleged driver denied bail

A MAN alleged to have driven a car off a boat launch and into Lakelse Lake two weekends ago will remain in jail until his next court date. David William Wallis was not granted bail in court July 2 on charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, care or control of a vehicle while impaired, taking a vehicle without the consent of the owner and two breaches of an undertaking or recognizance arising from a June 27 incident. On that day, police said they first responded to a disturbance complaint at the Lakelse Lake Provincial Park Furlong Bay Campground south of Terrace at 4:30 a.m. And after attempting to

stop a vehicle of interest, officers did not pursue the vehicle for public safety reasons, said Terrace RCMP at that time. “A search of the area located a man, believed to be the person driving the vehicle that failed to stop for police, swimming in the lake after driving the vehicle into the water,” a police report indicated. Volunteers from Terrace Search and Rescue were also at the scene and found the vehicle more than 60 metres from the end of the boat launch. Items from the vehicle found floating were turned over to the RCMP. Wallis’s next court date is later this month.

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER brought out thousands for events to celebrate Canada’s birthday here: left, Darryl Gillam works the egg grill at the Terrace Professional Firefighters annual pancake breakfast just outside of the fire hall • Middle, Matthew Robinson climbs out of the dunk tank at Heritage Park Museum • Right, former city fire chief Cliff Best visits with current firefighter Lee Snyder at the pancake breakfast.

Happy Canada Day, Terrace CANADA DAY here in Terrace not only provided lots of fun activities for all ages but also helped to raise money for two places. At their annual Canada Day pancake breakfast, the Terrace Professional Firefighters came close to their record for money raised and plates of food sold. After expenses, they raised $4,241 that goes to the BC Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund. And 892 plates of food were sold, more than last year but not a record, said Jeff Minhinnick, who was in charge of the breakfast. “It would’ve been the most money ever if we didn’t have to buy extra food,” he said.

He had to go pick up more eggs and pancake batter and the breakfast was shut down around 11:30 a.m. or close to noon. Terrace RCMP helped serve the food as did SkeenaBulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen. The City of Terrace, Thornhill Fire Department, paramedics and search and rescue members helped out and the latter put on displays to show what they do. “Everything went smoothly, we were pretty pleased,” he said. And the Terrace Community Band directed by Geoff Parr provided music. More than 1,800 people went through the

gates at Heritage Park Museum. A Canada Day cake was cut at noon and food vendors served up their items throughout the day. “We raised $2,216 in donations at the gates, plus $5,140 through the silent auction. We were very, very appreciative of all of our volunteers—it took over 100 people to put on the event, and we could not have done it without the community’s support,” said museum curator Kelsey Wiebe. More than 100 businesses donated items for the silent auction. The Northwest Therapeutic Equestrian Association gave very popular horse and pony rides all day. Dean and Walker Sturko

He’ll be standing on guard A TERRACE resident will spend his summer with the Ceremonial Guard of the Canadian Armed Forces. Corporal Mackenzie Lindsay, a soldier with the Royal Canadian Regiment, is presently undergoing three weeks of intensive drill training for his role in the guard. During the training, he will master the precision movements, attain a high standard of dress and deportment, undergo extensive physical fitness training, and be fitted and tailored in the scarlet uniform. He also expects that he will be able to bring great pride to his unit and country through his interactions with the public. “I find that being selected for the Ceremonial Guard is a tremendous privilege and an honour,” says Mackenzie, “the leadership experience that I will gain at the Ceremonial Guard is paramount to me.” With their scarlet tunics and bearskin headdress, the Ceremonial Guard of the Canadian Armed Forces, the Band of the Ceremonial Guard and its Pipes & Drums are the most recognizable military unit in

Canada. For more than 50 years, the Changing of the Guard has been a top Ottawa summer attraction, having thrilled thousands of visitors on Parliament Hill. They proudly provide sentries at the National War Memorial and Rideau Hall, the official residence of His Excellency David Johnston, the Governor General of Canada. During the summer, Lindsay will also participate in Ceremonial Guard appearances around eastern Ontario, and as well as the culmination event known as Fortissimo. Fortissimo is a military and musical spectacular event that takes place July 23 to 25 on the lawns of Parliament Hill. It features massed military bands, pipes and drums, guest performers and the soldiers of the Ceremonial Guard. So when the scarlet tunics march through the nation’s capital, the band playing, banners flying, and the crowd cheering, there will be a Terrace connection.

ran the hay wagon rides and also demonstrated horse logging. Marty Eisner demonstrated blacksmithing and farriering. The Terrace Art Gallery helped organize artists in residence, including carvers, painters, and loom spinning set up in the cabins. The Clay Artists of Terrace also ran a very successful demonstration and sale. The dunk tank was very, very, very popular – at times, more young volunteers lined up to be dunked than those waiting to throw a softball to trigger the device. Community celebrities dunked included River Kings, city council, and former mayor Dave Pernarowski.

emember in the Olden Days, the phone would ring and you could answer it and speak to a person? That is what I want in a phone, that I can answer it and can speak to the caller. My new phone is so poorly designed that it makes it very difficult to do this. For example, the little button on the bottom of my phone that I need to tap to open/activate it is laughably diminutive. Right above it is a button that says, Do Not Answer Call. Since I have a finger that is larger than a toothpick, the Open Phone tap is negated at the same time by the Do Not Answer button. I see my sister in Manitoba is calling, and I desperately want to speak with her, but the phone is designed in such a way that I accidentally send her a text saying, “Call me later, I am busy.” NOOOOOO! And, if you hold the phone like a normal person, your thumb is on… the mute button. Yup, I accidentally muted that phone so I don’t even hear it ring. Causing me to miss eleventy-seven calls, so now my voice mail is full. I don’t even know how many people wanted to talk to me and couldn’t – cuz they couldn’t even leave a message. It is so sad and so wrong. What was it on the X-Box? The Red Ring of Death, announcing your expensive game is now toast. Facebook is like that for me. I am happily cruising along, liking baby photos and sharing lost pets, when I get the Mac-circle meaning wait…. wait some more…wait yet more. Well, it does not go away. It is like waiting for Godot or Guffman, it’s never gonna happen.

Things don’t work So I have to quit Safari and restart facebook and scroll through the cat videos I have already enjoyed to get back to what I thought was my happy place. This is supposed to be relaxing not ANNOYING. Aw, look at their new puppy, so sweet, think I’ll hit like – NOPE. The eternal wait circle of Dante’s Inferno is back. I miss the days when you would type words and they would appear instantly on a piece of paper like magic. No battery, no plug-in, no internet connection required for my portable manual typewriter! It even had a removable lid that snapped closed with a nice click. No “low ink” warning needed – I could see the inexpensive ribbon needed replacing by the slowly fading impression. Entering the 90s, my word processor would not recognize my printer. “Com-

puter,” I said, “Please recognize our friend, Printer. See it, it is right beside you! It is beige, it is shining its green light.” Just look two inches to your left! Nowadays, my computer often lets me print. That is a collegial thing to do, supportive, cooperative, helpful. Sometimes it does not: instead it gives me an odd message in Klingon in which my only option is to click “OK.” IT IS NOT OKAY! I long to turn back the clock on watching television, it was so easy. You simply walked up to the TV, turned the on/off switch to the right, and a TV show appeared, on one of three channels. If it was a bit snowy, you adjusted the rabbit ears. Now I have three clickers. You would think clicking the “Watch Cable” button would be the one to let you watch cable, but you would be WRONG. You have to take the other clicker and press “External Inputs,” after which you might think you should press “TV” but you would be, again, sadly mistaken. You press the Dos/C++ code for TV, which is called HMDI. And if the image gets all bitty, full of slow-moving little squares, suck it up, Buttercup. No antenna to fix that problem. It’s too modern, all digital, no analog. I have two radios, one old in the kitchen, which is very nice, with an on/ off switch, tuner dial (to get the station) and volume dial. Nice. The newer bedroom radio has eight buttons, six switches, and two dials. Think you can listen to the radio by pressing “On”? Think again.

Regional district adjusts waste bylaws By MARGARET SPEIRS THE REGIONAL District of Kitimat-Stikine has changed the way it will service the community with its waste management plan. The bylaw for the loan authorization by the regional district was withdrawn at the June 19 meeting and four bylaws put in its place to separate the two different plans for waste management. When the regional district was discussing different ideas with the stakeholders, the Hazelton area didn’t want a transfer station with scales and fees as about half of the population there is First Nation and the band would rather contribute to it, said regional district treasurer Verna Wickie. “This is how we’re delivering the services, so that’s all it is. The plan hasn’t changed,” said Wickie. “This way the services in each area reflect the needs of those areas and circumstances of those areas,” she said. The Terrace area will do a user fee because many users of waste management are commercial, she said. “So with two different methods, we need two services,” said Wickie. The board voted unanimously in favour of four bylaws to cover the two areas. First is the KitimatStikine Hazelton and Stewart Area Solid Waste and Recyclable Management Service Establishment Bylaw 657 which sets up the management services area with Electoral A, B, and D, the district of New Hazelton, the Village of Hazelton and the District of Stewart. To cover the capital projects in this service area bylaw, the Kitimat-Stikine Hazelton and Stewart Area Solid Waste Management Loan Authorization Bylaw 662 was added and provides for borrowing money up to $4,000,000. Then there’s the Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Area Solid Waste and Recyclable Material Management Service Establishment Bylaw 658, which establishes the solid waste and recyclable material man-

agement service with Electoral Area C and E and the City of Terrace. Financing for proposed capital projects for this service area, the Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Area Solid Waste Man-

agement Loan Authorization Bylaw 659 has been developed. It provides for borrowing an amount not more than $15,500,000 for the capital project. Now the bylaws

go to the Inspector of Municipalities, who will decide whether to approve it and if approved, then the board can adopt it. Hopefully the inspector’s reply will be

in time for the July 17 meeting. The major change in how waste will be managed in this area will come through the closure of the City of Terrace’s landfill, the con-

version of the regional district’s Thornhill landfill to a transfer station and the construction of a new super landfill at Forceman Ridge south of Terrace on Hwy37 South.

Also started within the city boundaries and the regional district area around Terrace is a renewed emphasis on recycling with pick ups taking place in front of residences.

Fire bans imposed throughout region CONTINUED HOT and dry weather conditions across the region resulted in a ban imposed by the province as of July 2 on campfires and open fires. The City of Terrace has followed suit in the case of most kinds of fires but as of late last week was still allowing campfires at its Ferry Island campground. Twelve unattended or abandoned campfires in the month of June and exceptionally dry weather over the past week have prompted both the city and northwest fire officials to implement bans as a measure to prevent human-caused wildfires. The announcement comes after a small fire was sparked recently at the Thunderbird Main FSR, just 12 kilometres from Terrace and last month fire crews responded to a fire on Terrace Mountain. The cause of the Thunderbird fire is still under investigation, but the Terrace Mountain fire was human-caused. As of last week the fire danger rating for most of the northwest ranged from high to extreme. Under this new ban, campfires and openburning are prohibited in the Nadina region, which encompasses Houston and Burns Lake, the Bulkley region around Smithers, and the Skeena region across Terrace, Kitimat, and the Nass Valley with the exception of a small sliver of land around Prince Rupert. Campfires are still allowed in the Prince Rupert area spanning from the U.S. border on the Alaska panhandle south to the Skeena river and east to Rainbow Summit on Hwy 16. “The north coast is usually excluded from fire bans because they have wetter weather,” explained fire information officer Olivia Pojar of Prince Rupert’s exemption. With the exception of Ferry Island, the city ban includes fires with a burn registration number and industrial burning. In the surrounding region, campfires and other burning is banned in B.C. provincial parks, and on private and crown land, explained Pojar. This ban extends to

industrial and backyard burning, using outdoor stoves and other openflame appliances that are not approved by the CSA or the UCL, the use of fireworks, firecrackers, tiki torches, sky lanterns, chimineas and burning barrels, and the use of binary exploding targets. Open-flame appliances, such as campstoves with the proper

certification, which use gas, propane, or briquettes are still allowed as long as the flame is not higher than 15 centimetres. The ban will be reevaluated – based on weather conditions and current fire activity – on a daily basis and will continue to remain in effect unless the public is notified otherwise. Anyone who does

not follow an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated

costs. “There were also bans briefly around this time last year in the Skeena region,” Pojar said. Last year, a ban also came into effect in early July, but that ban only lasted for one day. Another campfire and open-burning prohibition came into effect for a few weeks last August, but only a ban on

open burning continued into September. To report smoke, flames, unattended campfires or non-compliant open burning, call 1-800-663-5555 or dial *5555 on your cell phone. Three-person initial attack crews and units crews of 20 people each are ready to respond through the region if called out.

Salmonella outbreak worries locals By CECILE FAVRON A SALMONELLA outbreak at an Alberta hatchery this spring has backyard farmers here worried they’ve been shipped chicken and turkey chicks infected with the disease. To date, there have been no reported cases of illness in the Terrace area, but “one case [of salmonella poisoning] was reported and has been directly linked with live poultry in northern B.C.,” says Doug Quibell from the Northern Health Authority. In light of the outbreak, the ministry of agriculture is providing a salmonella-testing kit free of charge as birds might be carriers of the disease without showing any symptoms. Poultry owners in Terrace are taking extra precautions and some are even quarantining their hatchery birds until the test results come back. The salmonella outbreak affects chicks shipped between March 1 and May 5 of this year from an Alberta facility housing both the Rochester and Miller hatchery brands. The facility in question was cleared of salmonella in early May and the root of the outbreak was traced to contaminated broiler (meat bird) eggs obtained from an outside source and which then spread to other birds, says Al Keshwani, the Rochester Hatchery owner. Rochester and Miller Hatcheries are major suppliers to backyard farmers and Quibell explained that the Northern Health Authority received notice from the hatcheries in May that possibly infected chicks “went out to all communities in the northwest region.” If chicks in Terrace were to test positive for salmonella, small flock owners would be

TESTING ARE available for backyard chicken farmers concerned about salmonella. responsible for eradicating the disease from their flock and this would mean a loss of revenue for farmers in Terrace who often raise poultry as a source of secondary income. Some locals are also worried they could be affected by bad publicity even if the chicks sent to them test negative for salmonella or come from later batches. “I’m still concerned because I’ve ordered extra [chicks] to sell down the road and – with their tainted history – I don’t want to end up with an oversized flock that no one wants to buy because they are from Rochester,” explained Jennifer Reeves, a local backyard farmer hobbyist. So far, there have been 60 reported cases of possible salmonella poisoning across the four western provinces and one territory that are under investigation by the Public Health Agency of Can-

pings, rodents, and even barn dust. This means that not only are the Rochester and Miller birds affected, but the contaminated birds could infect entire flocks. Although fluff samples from chicks at the hatchery first tested positive for salmonella in early April, Al Kes-

hwani of Rochester Hatchery explained that customers were not notified until they were able to isolate the breed responsible on May 5, when they disinfected the hatchery before resuming operations. Rochester and Miller customers in Terrace started receiving letters from the hatcher-

ada. Nineteen people in British Columbia have reported symptoms of salmonella after contact with live poultry, and one case has been reported in northern B.C. The single case in this region, originating from Smithers, was reported about a month ago to health authorities. Quibell said that health authorities advise the public to see their physicians if they show flu-like symptoms after contact with live poultry, which could be an indicator of Salmonella poisoning. The agriculture ministry says that, although there is no requirement to cull a flock infected with salmonella, the most effective way of dealing with an outbreak is to dispose of the birds and then clean and disinfect the premises very throughly. Salmonella can be spread from one bird to another through drop-

how to reduce the risk of exposure to the disease and ensure that their flock has a clean bill of health. Affected poultry includes chickens and turkeys that may show no signs of sickness. Human illness can usually be prevented by using safe practices when handling meat and eggs, but the inside of eggs can still be contaminated as they are formed in the ovary of the hen so consumers need to “hard-cook” eggs. The Salmonella outbreak is only the latest disease that small farmers in Terrace have to deal with. Many backyard farmers have started buying chicks locally or hatching their own to avoid bringing diseases into the north, like chicken owner Angie Healey. “I didn’t order [from Rochester] this year out of paranoia, with the avian flu outbreak earlier this year and a friends’ experience a few years back with a different disease and having to cull her stock,” Healey said. She is also being careful about bringing her birds to the Skeena Valley Fall Fair because of diseases, lice, and mites that birds could pick up there.

CHANGES TO TERRACE AREA SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT The duty to enhance, protect and preserve our natural surroundings rests on the Terrace area community as a whole; residents, citizen groups, businesses, institutions and government alike. We must all work together to reduce the volume of waste we produce. Every household and every business in the Terrace Area must have easy access to responsible ways to reduce, re-use, recycle and dispose of their solid waste. When we work together as a community we can reduce the amount of waste and we will protect the beauty of this area for future generations. Community members and local government have worked together to design the new waste management services and facilities now being built. Our goal is to preserve and enhance this livable, vibrant community, to practice world class environmental stewardship while attracting new businesses and families to the Terrace region. The new waste management facilities and services being developed now will meet our present needs and, with strong community effort to reduce wastes, will provide sustainable waste management for many years to come. Every business, community service and household in the Terrace Area produces some sort of solid waste. The Terrace Area Integrated Solid Waste Management Program includes a number of initiatives which will directly involve all residents and businesses over the next year. The City of Terrace and the Regional District will be working with businesses and residents, as new strategies and services are brought on-line. These initiatives will improve our waste management practices, increase the diversion of materials, extend the lifespan of our new landfill and the community’s investment and meet increased regulatory requirements designed to protect both human and environmental health and well-being. Changes will continue to occur for area residents and businesses as the new waste management facilities are completed and the related solid waste services are implemented. Information will be shared throughout the year to answer common questions and get feedback. What will be expected by next year? What changes need to be made at home and work to adapt to a new waste management approach? What will businesses and residents need or want in order to understand the ‘new’ systems and costs associated with proper waste disposal? What‘s Changing with Terrace and Area Waste Management? NEW Waste Streams for Business and Residential: In the near future, residents and businesses will transition to multiple streams such as organics, paper products and printed packaging and ‘garbage’. “Organics” includes kitchen scraps and yard waste and currently accounts for about 40% of waste by weight that is currently thrown away. Organics contribute to the production of methane gas, landfill leachate and fill up landfills unnecessarily. You can backyard compost and organics will also be collected curbside as an added feature of current collection services. If you want to learn more about doing your own backyard composting see http://www.rdks.bc.ca/news/composting-101-heres-dirt NEW - Progressive Restrictions: Some materials currently accepted at existing facilities, such as cardboard, e-waste (computers/monitors) or automotive batteries, will be progressively restricted prior to the opening of the new Transfer Station. Options for proper disposal of these materials will be clearly identified and/or established for all sectors, including businesses, institutions and residents. This transition will enable the public and businesses to learn about the restrictions and become aware of, and identify the local options for proper disposal. In the future, these materials will not be landfilled or accepted at Terrace Area waste management facilities. NEW - Facilities: Construction of new waste management facilities at the Thornhill Landfill site and the new Forceman Ridge Waste Management facility are expected to open by mid-summer 2016. The City of Terrace Landfill and the Thornhill Landfill sites will both close. The Thornhill site will become a transfer station for waste which will then be taken to the new Forceman Ridge Waste Management facility. The Transfer Station will also serve the collection of materials for commercial salvaging and provide marshalling areas for the diversion of products such as white goods (appliances), tires and clean wood waste. The Forceman site will include facilities for septic tank pumpage, organics management (composting) and residual waste. What about Cost? NEW - Tipping Fees and Contributions: There will be increased tipping fees for everyone and new taxation for Terrace businesses. These new costs reflect realistic financial recovery for services and contribute to solid waste management infrastructure and operations. This is new. In addition to their existing collection fees, City of Terrace residents will notice an increase in costs as they also contribute to local solid waste management facilities and community outreach. Transition Assistance? There will be ongoing assistance available to help understand where materials and products can be properly diverted and how to facilitate changes at home and work to accommodate the process. Continual discussion with provincial Extended Producer Responsibility Programs will occur to make diversion of common materials like used oil, paint, glass, Styrofoam, light bulbs and household electronics available and as convenient as possible in this community. New programs and facilities are being discussed province wide. New facilities for general recycling are underway including the new location for Do-YourPart at 3467 Highway 16 East., P: 250-615-7692 http://www.doyourpart.ca/ More Information – How and When? Information will be shared with the Terrace area community through these advertisements and through website updates as details are refined. Please visit www.rdks.bc.ca for details and watch for future information.

Council pays up

CECILE FAVRON PHOTO

■■ Two birthdays MAY MCFARLAND and Cora Hayward celebrated their 90th birthdays at the Happy Gang Center June 25. They are called the “birthday twins” because they always celebrate their birthdays together even though May’s birthday is in July (there are no Happy Gang celebrations in the summer). Cora lived much of her life in Kitwanga, but has lived in Terrace since 2003. May has been going to the Happy Gang center for 25 years and has also travelled around the world in her lifetime.

LIKE OTHER people, city council members weren’t immune this year from the effects of rising property values but how much tax they paid depended upon how the value fit in with everyone else. The value of mayor Carol Leclerc’s home went up $89,000 from $354,000 to $443,000. In 2014 she paid $2,129 in municipal taxes and in 2015 she will pay $2,085. City councillor Sean Bujtas experienced a value jump from $231.400 to $303.800. In 2014 he paid $1,392 and this year $1,430. The assessment of James Cordeiro also reflects the big jumps in the order of 30 per cent experienced around town. While last year his home was assessed at $270,300 this year it is valued at $340,600. Last year he paid $1,626 in property tax to the city and this year he owed $1,603. Finally, Brian Downie’s house was assessed at 316.900 in 2014 and in 2015 it is assessed at $385,000. He paid $1,906 in 2014 and this year owed $1,812.

Aquafit leader teaches local trainers By CECILE FAVRON THE PRESIDENT of a national aquafitness association was in Terrace last week to train instructors on how to properly teach waterbased fitness classes. “I wouldn’t come here normally,” said Charlene Kopansky, president of the Canadian Aquafitness Leaders Association, explaining that her other regional trainers were all tied up. “I’m based in Toronto, but I’m on a western sweep to train instructors in these communities.” Aquafitness is becoming popular with people in Terrace, but there are not enough instructors to teach lessons to everyone who wants them, she said. The Terrace pool currently has an aquafit program with two active instructors. Those instructors and two more instructors-in-training got into the pool last week with other members of the community who took advantage of the free classes. The instructors got a refresher in water fitness techniques and also got to see how Kopansky teaches her classes. In aquafit, partici-

pants do different aerobic and cardio exercises in different depths of water to work every muscle in the body. Kopansky explained that the water adds extra resistance to movements, giving you an intense workout. The core of the work out, she said, is “multidirectional actions using all of the muscles of the body, making sure that we warm them all up, making sure that we work them all evenly, and doing all the major joint actions.” Kopansky explained that her students in the pool are learning how to make those movements easier or harder based on your fitness level. “They learn about how water changes the way movement feels. How [being in water] affects the body in chest-deep water, in deep water where you’re suspended,” she said. “And understanding how to alter the resistance of water by changing your hand position and other things to make the workout easier or harder.” Kopansky encourages people in Terrace to try water fitness because being in the pool counteracts your body weight and takes the stress off your joints.

CHARLENE KOPANSKY, Canadian Aquafitness Leaders Association president, teaches an aquafit class here July 2. “Aquafit is a great program for people who are sedentary and want to add fitness, it is also great cross-training for athletes because it takes the impact off that comes with land training,” Kopansky said. “That is what we want to get out there is that everyone can benefit from cross-training in water.”

Kopansky is so passionate about providing the highest standard of water fitness that she has dedicated her organization to it. Her association started to provide a standard for water-training in the 1990s when, during her fitness teaching career, she was asked to stand in for a water-fitness instructor and was disap-

pointed by the quality of the workout. “So I got in the pool with them,” she said. “And then I founded my company in 1993.” Kopansky was originally a physical education teacher and now teaches her self-written training manuals to land and water instructors all over the country. Through Kopansky’s

method, water fitness classes can be taught without the instructor needing to be in the pool and often use music to motivate movement. Some of the specialized programs are deep-water running, aqua-yoga, and healing water – which is a form of recovery therapy for people with an injury or

disability. These specialties are not being offered in Terrace yet, but Kopansky hopes to change that. “I would love to recruit land-based instructors to teach water fitness as well. I really hope that the people I teach here will stay in the community,” she said.

A first place finish for Salmon Run this year By CECILE FAVRON

IT WAS an impressive finish at the seventh annual Salmon Run for first-time Terrace participant Hannah McNeil, 11, who took the top spot for the women’s 2km race, beating out competitors in all other age categories including the men. The young runner clocked in at just 10 minutes and 21 seconds at the June 28 long-distance race at Kitsumkalum. The Salmon Run also had its highest ever turn out with more than 500 people signed up to race in over 120 categories under the intense summer sun. “Given that this is only our seventh year, the turnout at this event was extraordinary. We are celebrating our biggest run ever,” said organizer Colleen Austin. Enthusiastic runners and families participated in 2 kilometre, 5 kilometre, or 10 kilometre distances within their age brackets and for

the title of overall winner. Joining McNeil for the 2km trophy was Fred Seiler, 52, from Terrace, coming in at 12 minutes and two seconds. In the 5km event, the top female runner was Sheri Hamer, 59, from Terrace with a time of 24 minutes and 17 seconds and the top male runner was Murray Warner, 61, also from Terrace and coming in at 24 minutes and 49 seconds. The top winners in the longest and most gruelling race were Sarah Williams, 26, from Prince Rupert in the women’s category clocking in at 44 minutes and three seconds. The fastest man in that category was Ted McCreery, 35, from Terrace at 42 minutes and 44 seconds. Top female competitor Sarah Williams told her team after the race that she found it to be a really tough run and it was very hot out, but she was all smiles when she found out she had won first place, said teammate Birgitte Bartlett.

The Salmon Run is a family event, accepting participants of all ages and the 2km run is meant for the younger and older competitors. The oldest runner was Mildred Roberts, 83, who completed the race and was handed her trophy by her greatgranddaughter Kayleen Sam. The youngest participant was six-week-old Kelsey Klapstein from Prince Rupert who was pushed in a buggy by her grandmother Debbie van’t Kruis from Terrace who completed the 5km race. “Given that it seemed like the hottest day of the year, it was amazing how many people participated and we were really impressed with it,” commented Austin.

PRINCE RUPERT’S Sarah Williams was the 10 km run overall winner. said Austin. “We had Terrace Search and Rescue on the route in their all terrain buggies to give water to the participants, and there were also water stations,” said Aus-

here in the distance was the Intalco Smelter, six miles west of Ferndale, Washington, not far away from Cherry Point and the Strait of Georgia. The facility took up a lot of acreage. Len had only the Alcan Kitimat facility for comparison. The Intalco smelter was a lot cleaner, in fact, it did not seem out of place in its pastoral setting. Len followed the perimeter until he saw what appeared to be the front of the facility. After parking on the side of a road that led to what he guessed were the administrative buildings for the plant, Len walked up to the gated entrance. As he stopped for a moment to look around and get his bearings, a limousine pulled up and the back window powered down. There was a man in the back seat. He was wearing a sharp suit with an executive cut. It wasn’t the kind of suit you would buy off the rack. The man leaned toward Len and asked him if he needed help. Len told the man that he was a farmer from Canada, from the Skeena Valley in Northern B.C., where he, and many of his fellow residents were concerned about the environmental impact the Aluminum Company of Canada’s intended expansion would have on fish, farmland, and themselves. Len added that he wanted to learn more about aluminium smelters and if there was any difference between the way operations were conducted in Canada and other places. As he spoke, the man nodded, knowingly. Len’s candour must have appealed to him. Hop in, he said. We’ll give you a tour.

went on to say that excessive exposure to inorganic fluoride leads to a decrease in calcium in bones of bovines and adversely affected their bone marrow. There were also trials that concluded cows that developed fluorosis as a result of fluoride exposure had fewer calves. As a result of these and other discouraging effects, the US government had developed forage guidelines and, since the Intalco Smelter was surrounded by farmland, US Government officials regularly monitored the amount of fluoride falling on nearby farmers’ fields to insure the fluoride fallout didn’t exceed national standards. If they did, said the president, stiff fines and compensation payments would result. To avoid this and bad will, the folks running Intalco had to employ state of the art scrubbers.

An image of the dead forest behind the Kitimat smelter sprang into his mind, the backdrop that Alcan Officialdom tried to pin on bugs, conveniently ignoring that fact that that same tract of trees had been bug free before industry came to town and that the most plausible explanation for their demise was a result of being weakened by emissions from the plant. …next week: can the beast be kept at bay?

Volunteers boost rescue training By MARGARET SPEIRS TERRACE SEARCH and Rescue team members took advantage of the great weather for an intensive weekend of swift water training with 22 members to keep up with changing standards late last month. The course went on for five hours the evening of June 26, another eight or nine hours June 27 and another nine or 10 hours June 28, said Dave Jephson from Terrace Search and Rescue. “We trained for being prepared to go work in and around water,” he said of the volunteers who participated. The province has created a new standard for all search and rescue members and one of those levels of training is called swift water advanced technology, which was the course done that weekend, said Jephson. “It puts 20 of our members up on par to meet the provincial standards and Dive Rescue International provides the training and two instructors – Dwayne and myself taught that course,” said Jephson, referring to Terrace Search and Rescue president Dwayne Sheppard. “So to have that many people trained in Terrace is a huge pat on the back for Terrace Search and Rescue.” “It’s another example of our group giving back to the community and the region. The training they get in this course has a lot of risk benefits and a lot of safety, with the idea that ‘what we’re doing, is it safe, should we get another plan, how many more resources do we need,’” said Jephson. The training will benefit more than the community here as it will be used to train other search and rescue members in the province. While training and working on the water, Jephson sees recreational boaters lacking in their own safety measures. “In the water, in boat

after boat after boat, people are not wearing life-jackets,” said Jephson. “One [boat] had four people and dogs and they’re all over the place and no lifejackets. They’re gambling [with their lives].” And with the lives of rescuers, who are putting themselves in danger to save others every time they go out to search for someone. What happens many times is that it’s the rescuer who dies, Jephson said. People say they don’t plan on entering the water but when people go somewhere in their vehicles, they don’t plan to get in a crash but when it happens, and they’re without a seatbelt, they’re thrown from the vehicle and the same happens in a boat, he added. “People don’t plan on entering the water but when it happens, you don’t have a tonne of time to save yourself,” Jephson said. “If you struggle to stay afloat, it takes away all the advantage for survival without having a proper PFD [personal flotation device]. “We want to make sure to reiterate to everybody the total need to wear lifejackets. It is the law and it’s a piece of equipment to save your life. Like I say ‘if you have your life-jacket on, we can find your body for your family.’”

When a crash happens in the water, it happens so quickly, you’re in the water before you know it, he added. A couple of years ago, five people in a boat had their lifejackets on and an accident happened, throwing all five into the water in a split second, he said. Three made it to one shore and the other two to the other shore and they were all safe, said Jephson. “I talked to them and they weren’t planning to get into the water that day, they planned on

fishing. “It’s an example of something totally out of their control. “We have those standards and it affects us and we want other people to see that concern as well,” said Jephson, referring to wearing a life-jacket.
