Fires wreak havoc on region TWO OF the almost 200 forest fires blazing around the province last week happened near Terrace and two other fires in town destroyed a family home and caused a bottled water company to be hero for a day. The cause of all the local fires, with the exception of the house fire which is still under investigation, was burning debris falling from power lines. The first power line incident occurred in the early afternoon on July 8, when burning material from a blown transformer caused a grass fire next to the former janitorial equipment store building across Greig Ave. from AquaClear. Scott Mitchell, manager of AquaClear, was having a conversation with a health officer in the foyer of his business when they both saw the flash of light on a power pole and then smoke rising. “I knew if we didn’t get it out quickly, it
would spread quickly,” said Mitchell. He grabbed one of the company’s 18.9 litre water bottles and together with his employees raced across the street to find a blaze about seven or eight feet in diameter, and began dousing it, he said. Terrace firefighters arrived on the scene after the fire was already out, and further doused the area to ensure it was fully out. Then later the same afternoon, in Cedarvale east of Terrace, a blaze started by Hwy 16. This was a two hectare fire that destroyed a tractor and an outbuilding on a Cedarvale property and forced the evacuation of one residence for the night. At the height of the fire, there were 30 firefighters working and two airplanes bombing the site with fire retardant. It also caused RCMP to close Hwy 16 for
one-and-a-half hours. Northwest Fire Centre official Sandy Maclean confirmed the fire was caused by branches falling on the line, igniting, and then tumbling to the tinder-dry ground. Then on the evening of July 9, a third grassfire started around power lines at Leanto Creek on the Nisga’a Highway about 15 km north of Terrace, “A tree fell across the power line and that started a fire in the grass [below],” noted Maclean. Fire attack crews responded to the fire in a helicopter, but the three-person crew then had to wait for BC Hydro to respond to make sure the area was safe before extinguishing the 0.1 hectare blaze, he said. Residents along the highway lost power for a few hours while crews put out the fire. All these instances are something that
would usually cause a disruption in hydro, but they would not normally ignite a blaze, explained Maclean. “With such dry conditions, what would normally be a non-event now has the possibility to generate a fire,” said Maclean. “The whole area is quite dry so we are aggressively responding to every call we get.” In fact, last week’s scorching weather has led to almost double the average number of wildfires this year, say local fire officials. As of last week, there had been 62 fires just in the northwest region which is almost twice as many as the 10-year average of 38 fires. Fifteen fires were sparked in the northwest region between July 3-9. The house fire that happened in New Remo started next to the deck.

descended by helicopter into another area, this time Sheslay River where many Tahltan historically lived and where many burial sites still exist, to tell mining company Doubleview that they should stop doing exploratory drilling in a wide swath of land. “It may not have received the publicity of the Headwaters and the Klappan, but now that we’re coming together and have made a decision to protect that area, it could easily turn into another situation like that,” said Day after returning from the Doubleview camp. The Tahltan push to protect the Sacred Headwaters involved years of organized blockades and other disruptions, as well as lawsuits and injunctions wielded in defence by mining companies.
Alternating versions surfaced of what happened in the remote Sheslay meeting, with Day saying he received a promise from company president Farshad Shirvani that Doubleview would stop drilling for the summer, and Shirvani posting in a July 8 press release on the company website that the company wants to resume drilling as soon as possible. The Doubleview release calls the action by the Tahltan Central Council and elders a “blockade,” while Day described it simply as a visit and a stern meeting with the company after which the company pressed stop on its drilling equipment. Shirvani was still occupied in camp last week, but in the press release says, “We have dealt respectfully with the Tahltan Nation
ever since we commenced first-ever drilling at the Hat in 2013. Exploration in this district has been carried out for more than half a century, and Tahltan Drilling Services has been contracted for all of Doubleview’s drilling to date.” The release goes on to say that “Our aim is to resume drilling as quickly as possible... we are consulting with our legal counsel to determine the best steps to take to allow drilling to resume.” Tahltan communications liaison Richard Truman said that Tahltan Drilling Services is a company once associated with the Tahltan Development Corporation but that the central council severed ties with it recently over the issues at Sheslay.

Tahltan mining dispute erupts again WE ALL know that history tends to get repeated, but who knew it would happen this soon? Tahltan Central Council President Chad Day said last week that the presence of a copper and gold mining company in Tahltan traditional territory 50 kilometres east of Telegraph Creek could mean a Sacred Headwaters-like struggle all over again. This comes two months after the provincial government bought back coal licences from coal mining company Fortune Minerals to ease a decade-long conflict in the much contested Klappan, or Sacred Headwaters area. Last week, Day and four Tahltan elders

What’s that?
Newcomers might wonder what’s with some of the icons and signs placed around Terrace. By ANNA KILLEN Tiny Town IT JUST might be a bewildering sight to visitors stepping off of the Via Rail train at the George Little House – a collection of miniature buildings just off to one side and laid out on either side of pathway. Welcome to Tiny Town (above photo), a labour of love built by Jim Allen in honour of his hometown of Youghal, Ireland. The buildings once occupied the front and back yards of the Allen residence on Agar Ave. on the southside and were lit up every Christmas. When they could no longer be housed there, an empty storefront at the Skeena Mall became their new home. And when the mall was sold and renovations began, Tiny Town might have been relegated to memory had it not been for a diverse group of people including community historian Yvonne Moen and city councillor Brian Downie who secured the new location in 2013. Allen passed away in 2014.
Big Bertha One of only four huge portable logging spars of its
kind built in North America, the “large and largely mysterious” showpiece that is called Big Bertha across from the tourist information centre is actually more tell than show. Apparently this beast of a machine – which was supposed to be revolutionary in its approach to logging – was only used once in the early ’50s before getting stuck in the mud and shelved. It stayed in storage for years before taking on its perch on Hwy16/Keith Ave. where it has stayed put and largely as is – this despite attempts to have it become the central feature of a never-realized logging museum or by adding some big cedar logs to the structure to provide some necessary context to the 40-ft yellow device.
The busker Evident in many cities both large and small, Terrace now has one as well – a busker. We’ve all see him but how many of us have stopped to talk? Reporter Cecile Favron did just that, reporting back that Brian Sears (on the far right) has been busking outside Source for Sports since the summer
2011. The Terrace Downtown Improvement Association wanted people to busk and told Sears that Bob at the Source for Sports wanted someone. “Lost in the Sixties”, he
does it off and off. He says he has even “been known to do it in January or February.” He can also be found at the farmers’ market.
Brolly square Once a gas station loca-
tion, the property (right) on the corner of Emerson and Lakelse is known as a “brownfield site”, environmental lingo for past industrialized use, when site owner Imperial Oil tore down the buildings. Imperial has opted for a natural process to remediate the location and a deal worked out with the Greater Terrace Beautification Society has resulted in it being used as a downtown public space. The name comes from the fabricated structures on the site which are in the shape of umbrellas.
You know you’re from Terrace, B.C. when... – You refer to the old Skeena Bridge by that name, but you can also call the “new bridges” by their proper name – the Dudley Little Bridges named after son of city founder George Little. – It’s not just “the old Co-op lot” to you. You actually shopped at the Terrace Co-op, and remember firsthand the political upheaval that occurred when the city purchased it in 2005. Also, remember those cookies? – You did wheelbarrow races for beer at Hanky Panky’s. Better: The Skeena Hotel was your local. Even better: You worked the door at Jezebel’s. – You knew Bob Erb when he was just a marijuana activist. – You shopped at the Cedarvale store and
post office. – You remember the Playboy bunny, the pot leaf, the Kermode bear(s) and other artwork on the bluff above the Terrace side of the old Skeena Bridge. – You remember the Christmas coffee at Bert’s. Heck, you remember Bert. (Bert owned the shop from ’66-’68. Hildaberg “Hilda” worked for him and took it over in ’68. Richard, the current owner, is Hilda’s son.) – You had milk delivered fresh from the Frank Farm. – You’ve met Maggie Jo in person. – You know the story behind Gimpy, the airport Kermode. – You remember when Carwash Rock
was even more dangerous. _ You can talk about the old days of having your plane diverted from the airport here in favour of landing in Rupert ... and then facing the long bus trip home. – You know Tsimshian has a ‘t’ before the ‘s’. – You’ve driven a vehicle on Shames. – You skied local ski hills before Shames. – You can talk knowledgeably about the RCMP detachment being in a subterranean portion of city hall. Or perhaps you don’t want to... – You don’t know how to use a three-way/ four-way stop. – You remember the original lookout tower on Thornhill Mountain.

EDITORIAL
Hill climb LOCALS have only to cast their eyes down south to the central Okanagan for a glimpse of what’s possible when it comes to improving traffic flow. For years Boucherie Road in the newer-municipality of West Kelowna, right across Okanagan Lake from Kelowna proper, was a narrow twolane road curving off from Highway 97 and then rising to the top of the area known as Lakeview Heights. If that sounds a lot like Lanfear Hill (or even the hill leading up from lower Thornhill) read on. After spending $2.6 million, the District of West Kelowna has created, thanks to combining work with other projects in that area, wider vehicle paths, sewers, water works, drainage upgrades, sidewalks, cycling lanes, retaining walls and landscaped medians. Sharp-eyed readers might wonder about its financing given that West Kelowna is within the riding of Premier Christy Clark. But no, $2.03 million came from the municipality’s reserves and the rest from development charges. Of course, geographic parallels are one thing as West Kelowna is substantially larger than Terrace with more population and a much larger tax base. But as the city contemplates future traffic flow issues on Lanfear Hill, those who encounter school buses and other large vehicles along the narrower portions of the hill might be allowed a bit of wishful thinking.
Constant cooing doves prove annoying
I
f it’s true the doves in my neighbourhood were released by a high school grad class, I have to ask, “Why? What was their motive?” Did the entire class have a grudge against retired residents enjoying peace, quiet, and restful slumber? Were they determined, if they now have to arise each morning to go to work, by gum no one else can sleep late either? When the first doves appeared in our subdivision about five years ago, I didn’t expect them to survive the winter. But they did. The following spring they were back teetering on my phone wire, and causing me to fantasize about shouldering a 12-gauge shotgun with a glint in my eye like Elmer Fudd tracking that wascally wabbit. Surely no one would intentionally raise doves in a backyard coop. Think of their monotonous “Coo, COO – pause - Coo.” The birds use only three notes in a consistent pattern. Often neighbours complain about a goat munching grass. Picture the list of complaints to Animal Control

THROUGH BIFOCALS
CLAUDETTE SANDECKI about doves. They are too slight to make a meal, unlike roosters which, though they wake you at dawn, have the good sense to give you peace the rest of the day and eventually provide a generous dinner. So where would someone find doves for sale? Kijiji? Possibly. Anything is likely on Kijiji. Several displaced Newfoundlanders in Calgary homesick for a traditional Jiggs dinner advertised on Kijiji for a Newfie lady to cook a Sunday dinner. From 50 replies they selected one lady who cooked them a fine meal of salted meat, boiled
vegetables, pease pudding, turkey, and lots of gravy. Wikipedia describes mourning doves thusly: “They perch on telephone wires and forage for seeds on the ground.” This is exactly where my pests park. They sidle together on a wire and take turns vocalizing so the neighbourhood gets no respite from them. “Their flight is fast and bullet straight.” I can’t vouch for arrow flights but they do move often like a tenant who owes the landlord rent. “Their soft, drawn-out calls sound like laments.” All they’re missing is the background drone of a Highland piper squeezing out Ashokan Farewell. “Mourning Doves are the most frequently hunted species in North America.” Easy to guess why that is. Their three-note cooing is nonstop from first daylight – 4:30 these mornings – to well beyond dusk. (Robins tune up at 4:30 also but they soon ease off.) In fact, dusk enlivens doves like a drunk craving another drink; they realize they are running short of hours to irritate us. I believe in live and let live, and never

want an animal to suffer, but an unexplained absence of these two birds would suit me fine. How can they possibly have so much to say to each other? I imagine each dawn the female turns to her mate and coos, “We have to talk.” And for the next 18 hours they do. Could the coos be a navigational app like the beeps of a killer whale or dolphin? Although whales and dolphins have, I believe, a wider range of sounds. “Doves fly fast on powerful wingbeats, sometimes making sudden ascents, descents, and dodges.” But even their dodges might prove futile if they’re targeted by a hungry red hawk. I once observed a red hawk pin a robin to the ground and within seconds all he left behind was a feather outline any taxidermist would envy. The website goes on to say doves are particularly vulnerable to cats. Cats deserve to eat too. Maybe I’ll visit the local animal shelter and fetch home an athletic tabby with the honed hunting instinct of an underweight wolverine nursing several kits.

The Mail Bag Sandecki wrong to advocate fines
JOSH MASSEY PHOTO
NOW THAT the Frank St. Crossing has been installed, should CN still honk when they pass this intersection?
Time for CN to stop honking
To Mayor and Council: The newly upgraded railway crossing at Highway 16 and Frank Street invites renewed request to the CN/ CP to end the whistle for the crossing. The crossing is now on par with that at Highway 16 and Kenney Street, which is whistle-free. What argument remains, then, to maintain the whistle at 16/Frank? None
“
evident. The 16/Frank whistle, prior to the upgrade and the increased traffic on the line, was a minor irritant but tolerable for the safety. Now that the safety equals 16/Kenney, and with the increase in night traffic, especially, the 16/Frank whistle is not only a nuisance but compromises property value. Hoteliers near it already have to explain to angry
guests that there is nothing they can do about it; the same complaint, I have found, exists all along the line, right back to Prince George. The major new hotel being built near 16/Kenney will not be happy, either. Further, tax-paying residents within earshot of the intense blasts from the trains, whether on Mountain Vista or in Kitsumkalum, would dearly love to be able to sleep a
solid night. To end the whistle, then, would please everyone and upset no one, expect maybe CN/CP for the paperwork they have to do. Finally, if forwarding this on the Council agenda requires my formal request in person at your next meeting, then please direct us on procedure. Dr. David Heinimann Terrace, B.C.
Dear Sir: Justice Minister Suzanne Anton is accused of being weak kneed by an opinion piece written by Terrace’s Claudette Sandecki. I found it alarming that she considers fines the only measure for eliminating distracted driving. Hefty fines at that. Maybe all of the other provincial Justice Ministers’ suggestions for steeper fines are heeded due to the debt levels of the province. This correlation may not equal causation, but consider Ontario and Nova Scotia having $10,500 and $679 million in debt (RBC economic report, 2013). Their fines are also the steepest. Quebec is the only exception to this observation. Western Canada has a way healthier budget and lower fines. Currently ICBC uses a progressive system that’s fairer and penalizes bad driving behaviour better than maniacally steep fines. As of 2014, penalty points related to dangerous driving habits increased the insurance premiums of those drivers. A surcharge is added that is called Driver’s Risk Premium Surcharge that starts at $395 for three years. So a driver is truly looking at $167 added with $395 times three. For an extra total of $1352 on top of their normal premiums. Don’t think drivers are getting away with negligence. By no means do I condone distracted driving. I have personally suffered frustrations of unsafe behavior while driving due to distracted drivers. Many violators are busy people, their lifestyle habits are more to blame than their willful disobedience of the law. Fines as deterrents work for the majority of the people, but not all. Let’s consider alternative ways to sway violators instead of pounding our pulpits, demanding higher and higher fines to little avail. What do the police do when they wish to curb behavior in a community? They get active in schools, and host community events with incentives to participate and visit. Evan Ramsay, Terrace, B.C.
Government fails to act responsibly
Responsibility” is one of those common sense words that get bandied about in everyday conver-
sation. The word initially derived from the Latin word respondere, meaning simply ‘to respond.’ Later use gathered into its meaning notions of accountability and obligation. To be responsible implies, at least to some extent, a social debt. Failure to be responsible leads to negative social consequences, often including formal punishment. Historically, Canada was established to embody a system of government that demands parliamentary accountability and has been said to have a ‘responsible government.’ Decisions government makes are intended to benefit the health and welfare of Canadians in general through sensible management of public assets, defense of the realm, and regulation of public behavior. Thus ideally, politics should be about the design, refinement, implementation, administra-
tion and regulation of policy. Achievement of these ends may require input from public and professional sources including philosophers, economists, engineers (both physical and social), scientists, legal experts, as well as ordinary citizens. These truisms about responsible government have begun to break down in Canada. Canadian politics has increasingly been transformed into an elaborate partisan spectacle focusing on personalities and propaganda, a game in which the achievement of a parliamentary majority has become license to impose often predetermined policies that benefit a few at the expense of the many, and to base these decisions largely on ideology or belief rather than on expertise or evidence. Governments are becoming less and less inclined to respond, either to citizens or to opposition parties. Despite ‘access to information’ legislation that is over 30 years old, governments have become increasingly reluctant to release information. In 2008 the
GUEST COMMENT
AL LEHMANN Conservative government terminated the maintenance of the CAIRS system, a public database designed to assist citizens to locate specific data. The Centre for Law and Democracy released a report in 2012 entitled “Failing to Measure Up: an Analysis of Access to Information Legislation in Canadian Jurisdictions.” It comments: “Canada’s access to in-
formation laws seem custom designed to enable politicians and bureaucrats to avoid disclosing anything that they would rather keep secret.” Based on a wide variety of performance indicators, Canada places behind Colombia and Mongolia, 55th in the world. It is shocking how frequently ministers are “unavailable for comment.” Like children hiding in their rooms until parental displeasure blows over, these officials simply refuse to respond to criticism or inquiry until the next story in the news cycle displaces concerns over their current gaffe or malfeasance. Canada’s current government’s policies seem to be based on ideology and belief rather than on diverse expertise and evidence. Jeff Rubin, former economist for CIBC, commented that he couldn’t remember any government that had ever focused on one area of the economy (oil and gas) to the detriment of the rest in the way this one has. In parliament itself, opposition MPs contend with massive
‘omnibus’ bills affecting dozens of different legal areas, bills that are rammed through necessary votes through closure with inadequate time for study or amendment. Harper has attended only 35 per cent of daily parliamentary question periods so far this year. The Conservative government responds through junior officials parroting talking points. Propaganda? The Toronto Star reported in August of 2014 that over 3,000 “information services” staff work for the Harper government at an estimated cost of $263 million a year! Allow freedom of information, free speech? Government scientists (Canadian citizens) must get permission from the Prime Minister’s Office to speak freely to the public about their research. To parliament and to Canada’s citizens, Harper’s Conservative government is tiresomely patriarchal, dishonest, manipulative, and profoundly irresponsible.

Christian Academy seeks new school space By CECILE FAVRON
MOUNTAIN VIEW Christian Academy might have to cancel classes come September after being displaced from their location on Lakelse Ave. last month, according to school organizers. The private school was leasing classroom space in a building owned by the Saint Matthews Anglican Church, but the building was put up for sale and the academy was told move out by the end of June. If the school cannot find classroom space for the fall, courses might be cancelled. “We might have to delay the start of
school if we can't find a space,” acknowledged Roger Ewald, one of the founders of Mountain View. “That is something that we have to consider, but it is more likely that we will end up renting space in a few different churches and just have our school spread-out,” he said. The school, which hosts students from grades between kindergarten and grade 7, had 54 students last year and is still enrolling students for next year despite the setback. They are still looking for classroom space and a permanent location. Mountain View currently has an applica-

liwell street for use by the school, but the older home on the property is not in any shape to accommodate them.
“We would have to renovate the house on the property and it would not be ready for September,” said
Ewald. They also have yet to make a deal with the council to buy or lease the land. Some Christian institutions in town have reached out to help the school in finding a place. Mountain View has had help from the Alliance Church which gave them their home for the first six years after the school was founded 13 years ago. They might have to find a way to house students on the Alliance Church's grounds in order to be open in September, but that would not be a longterm solution, Ewald noted. Right now all of
Mountain View's teaching supplies is in storage until they find a place to set up their classrooms again. “We are still searching for a home and I'm confident that we will find a home, it's just the location is not confirmed,” said Ewald. “We will keep on pushing for a place for our students.” The school had been leasing the building from the Anglican Church for the past seven years and they were notified a few months ago that they would have to vacate that space. They are one of two inter-denominational Christian school in Terrace.

TERRACE COMMUNITY Foundation vice-chair Joyce Gibson, centre, stands with the recipients of the foundation’s first grants, handed out at a reception June 24.
A DANCER who’s been studying at a classical ballet school down south is fresh off a win at provincials and training with a program in San Francisco this summer. Brenna Metzmeier, 18, begins at a ballet intensive this week for five weeks that culminates in a show at its completion. The intensive will involve dancing for about 40 hours a week, she said. And in her first time at provincials, she came in first. She started dancing at Sophia’s Dance Studio and when the opportunity came to study at the Victoria Academy of Ballet in Grade 11, she took it. “Dance is just my passion. It’s a lot of fun, and a lot of work,” said Metzmeier, adding she likes neo-classical ballet, which is contemporary and ballet combined. “It’s fun and you can be creative and it’s exciting to learn and to do.” Brenna In the fall, she heads back to the ballet academy Metzmeier for her second year, which will culminate in graduation with a diploma in classical ballet next year. Then she’s looking to audition for a job with a dance company. For now, the intensive will provide her with more experience. “I’m not sure what it’s going to be like but I’m really excited. I’ve watched it on YouTube and they’re really amazing,” she said about the dance intensive.

It was a very successful event,” says foundation vice-chair Joyce Gibson. The foundation had $10,000 to give out but didn’t give out the full amount, she added. Each of the 10 groups that applied could ask for a maximum of $2,500 and it had to go to a project that each group was going to do, said Gibson. Helping Hands received $2,500, Kimmunity Angels $1,500, Terrace Downtown Improvement Area $1,000, Terrace Peaks Gymnastics Club $2,400 and Terrace Salmonid Enhancement Society $2,500. The foundation is hoping to give out the grant money twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, said Gibson. Anybody can apply as long as they meet the criteria and the foundation board isn’t on the committee that decides on who gets the grants; the committee is made up of three people chosen

from the general public who decides and lets the board know and the board makes the final approval, said Gibson. It only took the foundation four years for the interest on their principal amount to get to $10,000, which surprised the president of the Prince George Community Foundation, with whom the Terrace foundation works with for investment and expertise, who came from Prince George as a guest for the grant night June 24. “He was just amazed it took four years, or less than four years, to be able to raise that amount of money,” said Gibson. “Their first one (giving out grant money) was almost 10 years so we’re quite proud of our little organization.” The foundation began in April 2011 when the City of Terrace formed it. Its principal endowment fund came from the Northern Development Initiative Trust’s Community Foundations Matching Grants program, which provides up to a maximum of $50,000 to match money raised in the community here. With the city’s help of $50,000, plus the matching fund, the foundation started with $100,000 and now its principal amount has grown to nearly $300,000.
born, raised here THORNHILL’S NEW fire chief, appointed by the regional district board at its June meeting, like his predecessor spent almost all of his firefighting career here. Rick Boehm, Thornhill’s previous deputy fire chief, took over the new position June 29 after longtime fire chief Wes Patterson left for a position in Port Hardy. “I knew after the board meeting late that night,” he said. It was a unanimous decision by the Regional District of KitimatStikine board, after the Thornhill Volunteer Firefighters’ Association put its recommendation to the board. Boehm spent 10 years volunteering with
Rick Boehm the department, then left the area for nine years and worked as an emergency vehicle technician mechanic for what was formerly called ProFire Emergency Equipment (now SafeTech) and travelled the Yukon, Northwest Ter-
ritories and all around B.C. doing maintenance on fire trucks. The deputy fire chief job came up here and he took it and it’s been just about three years in that role for him. In addition to being fire chief now, Boehm is also employed in an administrative position as the emergency and fire services coordinator. The only big tasks coming up on the job in the upcoming future are replacing the fire trucks. “We will probably select a vendor here in two or three months with a delivery date within a year,” said Boehm. Three fire trucks need to be replaced and the ladder truck too.

Wet’suwet’en release online movie about LNG ANOTHER SET of voices goes public with the July 6 online release of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation liquefied natural gas (LNG) development film named Nis Ts’edilh (“Moving Forward”). The Wet’suwet’en First Nation film portrays “a realistic view of LNG development through the many voices of those impacted and involved,” according to the First Nation’s website. The film provides a plain-language explanation of LNG extraction, pipeline transportation and liquefaction processes, and identifies some of the environmental impacts of the combined activities, said the website. While LNG development presents oppor-
tunities, it also raises concerns from First Nations communities at all development streams from extraction, pipeline to terminal. “This is a very complex issue and we acknowledge the difficulty of what people are being asked to consider,” says Chief Karen Ogen. “This film was developed to provide a clear perspective of what needs to be decided and to open up a discussion around the opportunity, cost of the proposed projects from environmental, economical and social perspectives.” Through a series of candid interviews with community stakeholders along the routes of the proposed Pacific Trail (PTP) and Coastal
Gas Link (CGL) pipelines in British Columbia, this film is the culmination of these voices which shows that moving forward with LNG development will see a new approach form between government,
“This film was developed to provide a clear perspective on what needs to be decided” First Nations and industry. The film examines the following topics: • there exists a legacy of problematic relationships between government, industry and First Nations; however, positive changes are being made as pro-
ponents begin to work with First Nations and government as partners in natural resource development projects; • engaging with project proponents is an effective way for First Nations to ensure that their concerns are addressed, and in particular, to steer projects in such a way that reduces cumulative environmental impacts, and maximizes economic and social benefits; • LNG development will provide an opportunity for struggling communities along the pipeline routes to rebuild. It will also afford government, industry and First Nations an opportunity to establish better relationships moving forward as partners. The film features
interviews with regional and First Nations leaders, including Wet’suwet’en Chief Karen Ogen, Kitselas Chief Joe Bevan, Blueberry First Nation Chief Marvin Yahey, Haisla Nation Chief Ellis Ross, Kitimat Mayor Phil Germuth and Burns Lake mayor Luke Strimbold; Neala MacDougall, Well Operations Team Lead, Shell Canada; Peter Dichrow, Supervisor, Saturn Plant Operations, Shell Canada; Mindy Henyu, Aboriginal Relations Specialist, Shell Canada. The film was shot on location in Haisla, Kitimat, Terrace, Kitselas, Houston, Burns Lake, Wet’suwet’en First Nation, Fort St. John, Groundbirch and Blueberry River First Nation.

RCMP plane returns to enforce speed limits PAY ATTENTION to the road signs that say driving speed is “Aircraft patrolled” because the police patrol plane has returned. On July 7, the West Pacific Region Traffic Services, also known as the highway patrol, working with the RCMP Air Services plane out of Prince Rupert, conducted enforcement on Hwy 16 and Hwy 37 South in the Terrace and Kitimat areas for approximately four hours in the afternoon, said Terrace RCMP highway patrol officer Cpl. Philip Crack July 8. In that short time, they gave out 19 tickets and warnings and impounded one vehicle for excessive speed. “This was the first time this had been done in the area in awhile. It was found to be quite effective and police were able to see things that they would not see in the course of a normal patrol,” said Crack. “It allows for easier targeting of the aggressive drivers, the ones that are tailgating and dodging in and out of traffic. With how effective it was, be prepared to see more of it in the
area.” And how does a police officer in a plane ticket a driver on the ground? “The officer in the plane has visual continuity of the vehicle until such time as it is pulled
over by the members on the ground,” said Crack. “It is basically a time over distance equation. There are fixed distances on the ground and it is measured how long it takes them to travel that distance giving the
speed they were going.” The aircraft patrols were stopped in the area due to a lack of officers trained to do the spotting but now there’s one officer fully trained to do just that, he added. The breakdown of
driver’s licence; • one ticket for cross double solid line; • one ticket for fail to display N sign; • one ticket for fail to change address; • one breach of undertaking charge.
“Being the summer driving months and with more traffic on the road, police would like to remind drivers to slow down, take their time and maintain a safe driving distance,” said Crack.

Police seize stolen items VEHICLES WERE involved in several calls to Terrace RCMP last week. Between July 9 and 10, a Dodge Caravan rear-ended a Toyota truck then rolled back into a Ford truck at the intersection of Hwys 16 and 37. The Dodge and Toyota were towed. The Dodge’s driver was transported to hospital for assessment. Between July 8 and 9, a man was seen looking into vehicles in the Park Avenue Medical Building parking lot. Police found a man rummaging through a box in the back of a pickup. The intoxicated man was arrested and officers seized a Magellan GPS and a 12 volt car adapter from him and are looking for the owners. Also that day, an abandoned white Dodge truck was found on Queensway Dr. with its rear tires sheared off and the ignition punched out. The truck was towed.
the police tickets was: • eight tickets and five written warnings for speed; • one ticket and a vehicle impounded for excessive speed (154 km/ hr in a 100 km/hr zone); • one ticket for no

Fewer seniors going into local care homes By CECILE FAVRON THE NUMBER of seniors on the waiting list for long-term care facilities in Terrace has dropped significantly in recent years, meaning that elderly people who actually need to be in a care home will secure a bed there faster, say regional health officials. The changes are thanks to a Northern Health initiative to make the most of available beds in Terrace by caring for some seniors in their homes, a development that comes at a time when many are worrying about the strain the aging population will put on the health care system. “Because of the initiative, now in Terrace there are two people on the waiting list for residential care homes compared to 13 people that were on the waiting list three years ago,” said Penny Anguish of Northern Health. In the northwest, there were more than 50 seniors on the waiting list for care homes before, a number that has now dropped to only 22 last week according to Anguish. As a result, the wait times for long-term care beds have also decreased to only three to four months on average, a big improvement on the year-long period that patients had to wait just a few years ago. The reduction in the size of the wait list can be attributed to a Northern Health initiative called Care in the Right Place that focuses on making sure that people who do not need to stay in the hospital or in care facilities have the resources to be able to recover at home. “What we heard from seniors is they want to live independently as long as possible,” said Anguish. “So we are working to help people stay at home.” Anguish explained that the initiative began by ensuring that seniors in the hospital were discharged in a timely way if their families or homecare nurses could support their recovery. This made sure that only elderly patients who have no other option but long-term care remain in hospital beds on the wait list for a res-
idential care home. These changes have reduced the number of seniors overall waiting for a bed in a care home. “We find that we get better results [this way],” explained Anguish. “People lose their functional abilities the longer that they stay in acute [care at the hospital] so we want to move
towards discharge as fast as possible.” There are currently 86 long-term beds and nine short-term beds available at Northern Health's Terraceview Lodge senior care facility. There are no plans to make more beds available for elderly people in need of the extra help, said Anguish, because
current resources in the health care system need to be optimized first. “There are lots of things that can be done to improve the quality of care patients are receiving before we open up more beds,” she said. However, last month, nine seniors were still waiting in hospital beds across the northwest region for a place in a
long-term care facility to open up and an aging population is going to put more pressures on the health care system in the near future. This is something that Northern Health still has to be mindful of, noted Anguish. Anguish said that Northern Health is working on coordinating care between fam-
ily doctors, the hospital, and care homes, and other organizations need to work on providing assisted living and accessible housing facilities in order to care for the increasing number of seniors. “Everyone is certainly concerned about the demographic shift that is going to take place and that is why we are

doing the work we've been doing under the Care in the Right Place initiative,” Anguish explained. The outdated Mills Memorial Hospital is also scheduled to undergo massive upgrades over the coming years, a process that will happen over seven years and they are currently about three years into.

Chamber hires director By JOSH MASSEY
THE NEW executive director of the Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce sits back in her spacious office above Speedy Printers and reflects on the various twists and turns that brought her to this spot. It’s been two years since Erika Magnusson, 28, moved north from Vancouver with her partner. She worked for a time as assistant to former chamber director Carol Fielding before filling the position when Fielding retired. Before coming to Terrace, Magnusson taught English as a second language in Vancouver and also in her home town of Winnipeg, and worked for Parkinson’s Society and Red Cross. She’s even done photography work and spent a year in Scotland where she sold kilts. Now at the Chamber, she has room to spread her wings in a different setting, and hopes to bring her personal touch to the job. For some chamber events like the Business Expo, Magnusson wants to just replicate the success already achieved, while other items are getting a rethink. “I’m not going to touch an inch of it,” she says of the annual Business Expo. However The Business Excellence Awards will see some changes, such as relocation to a new venue. “The biggest new part is the venue, we are actually going to be holding it
at the Sportsplex which is quite cool,” she said. The chamber will continue to offer various services to the 250 businesses it represents in town, as well as benefits. “The chamber is the voice of business in Terrace. We are here to lobby and advocate for the business communities,” she said. “There are benefits with the BC Chamber of Commerce, so there are discounts through Staples and a couple different fuel companies... We also have merchant benefits and group benefits insurance plans, and also payroll assistance that really helps out, especially the smaller businesses who don’t have that set up.” Magnusson says she is still learning the history of Terrace business. “There is a lot of history here, there have been a lot of big ups and downs in the economy for Terrace, in the early 2000s the closure of the sawmills was really, really impacting, and of course we are all hanging on all the LNG.” Now she thinks the economy is in a bit of a waiting phase and that patience is important. “We live in the world of instant messaging, get everything to you instantly, have it done now, but sometimes you have to remember, especially the big projects, these will take time.” She adds that chamber membership includes both large and small businesses.

ROSEMARY RADELET With a deep sense of love and loss, we announce the passing of Rosemary Radelet on June 25, 2015. Born the only child of Evelyn and Wilf Ramsay in Vancouver on September 16, 1933, she found her calling as a creative and dedicated teacher. In 1955 she married John Russel (Jack) Radelet and moved north to Prince Rupert and then to Terrace, where they raised their family. In 1996, after more than 30 years of teaching young children, Rosemary retired from E.T.Kenney school. Soon after Jack died in 2008, “Roses� moved to Vancouver Island to be closer to family. This First May Queen of Marpole, Speller Extraordinaire, and Print Shop Maven leaves behind friends from Vancouver, Terrace and the Cowichan Valley. Also left to mourn her passing: her children James Radelet (and Mona), Mike Radelet (and Alice) and Laurie Sheftel (and David); her grandchildren Natasha Mulhall, K.C. and Caleb Roome, and Benjamin and Jesse Sheftel; her great-grandchildren Zoe and A.J. Roome; her Mexican exchange students; and her sisters-in-law Signe and Anne and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. Heartfelt thanks go to the workers at Sunridge Assisted Living and to Dr.Glaude and the staff at Cowichan District Hospital for their gentle care. A celebration of Rosemary’s life will be held in Duncan on July 9 as well as in Vancouver in the Fall. In lieu of flowers, Mom asked that loving donations be made to Suwilaawks Community School, 3430 Sparks Street, Terrace BC V8G 2V3.

Ripped Terracite crowned Mr. BC By JOSH MASSEY IMAGINE STANDING in front of an audience of 2,000 wearing nothing but a Speedo and flexing your greased body so everyone, including discerning judges, can critique your muscle symmetry, size, even your smile and confidence level. For local resident Ashley Whittington, who was crowned Mr. BC after winning the province’s top amateur bodybuilding award this spring, it’s actually a great feeling, that is, for those who gave their best effort during the brutal, painful training leading up to that big day. “After you have worked really hard, you are pretty confident at that point,” says Whittington, 33, who is also co-owner of North Coast Health & Fitness in Terrace. “If you didn’t give it much, say you gave it 60 per cent and not 100 per cent, then yeah maybe you would wish you weren’t there.” This was his third time competing in the competition held at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre and fifth straight year of competing in general, and Whittington weaned himself to 235 pounds, winning top honours in the super heavy-weight category, and also winning best all around physique at the event that featured 300 competitors. “People tend to look good standing alone, but seen against all the other competitors it’s different,” he said of the level of competition at the event. Preparing means feeling the pain. You can’t be too comfortable, he says. “You need to make it uncomfortable to get that lean look.” Since 2009, when he won The Sandra Wickham body building award, Whittington has regularly undertaken the grueling four-month diet and training regime necessary to get
chiseled for competitions at a higher level. Now that he is B.C. champ, he has unrestricted qualification to the nationals, which he plans to compete in this year or next, and after that he could even turn pro if he wins there. But public glory is not Whittington’s endgame. Ultimately, he says he does it as a way to meet personal goals and also to show the many people he trains that high level fitness is possible. “A lot of them are working towards a goal that they have, whether it’s a weight loss goal or a muscle building goal, changing their physique for a wedding or a reunion,” he said of his clients at the North Coast Health & Fitness. “When I tell them to do something, I have walked the walk myself, I am not telling them to do something that none of us have done before. It gives us a little credibility.” Whittington also says his wife Charis, who co-owns North Coast Health & Fitness, has been a great companion on the road to victory. “It is good advertising to be involved in that [competition] and my wife is involved in that too and we are pretty supportive of each other. That was the third time I competed at the provincials so I was pretty pumped to win it.” And how can the reader achieve a body like his? “You can’t shape body fat,” Whittington advises. “It’s always going to look the same, but muscle you can shape and add that roundness to it and that symmetry and that’s what gives us waist and shoulders.” “Every seven days we want to see some change,” he added. whether it’s weight loss or muscle,” he said of preparing for competition.

Pool aims to recruit lifeguards By CECILE FAVRON
STAFF PHOTO
LIFEGUARD INSTRUCTOR Debbie van’t Kruis says the pool will help train prospective lifeguards for September.
THERE AREN’T enough people in Terrace with the swimming skills to replace the student lifeguards who are leaving for school in the fall, says Aquatic Centre staff. This situation has prompted the pool to hold swimming lessons for prospective lifeguards that will get them qualifications needed for eventual lifeguard certification, a program that has never been held before in Terrace, said head lifeguard instructor Debbie van’t Kruis. “We are hoping to get people who, for them, being a lifeguard is just a pipedream. Especially a lot of high school kids, they have the strength to be a lifeguard, but not the technique, so we will help them work on their skills to fulfill their dream of becoming a lifeguard,” ex-
plained van’t Kruis. The new trainees will splash into the pool in July and will start by working on swimming skills and then life-saving skills later on. Participants in the eightweek course spend two hours per week in the pool learning everything from basic strokes to learning how to swim with rescue equipment. When swimmers graduate from the program, van’t Kruis says, she hopes they will have the skills to complete required lifeguard certification courses which will run in the fall. Although high school students need to be 16 in order to work as a lifeguard and teach swimming lessons, van’t Kruis has opened up the training program for youth as young as 14 because they can still train and do tests toward eventual certification in these areas.
She also says that working as a lifeguard is a great job for those looking for flexible work hours. “Working at the pool is a great part time job for students, moms who are looking to re-enter the workforce, people who used to swim, and people who even used to be lifeguards, come on back – we need you,” van’t Kruis said. Swimming lessons and the pool’s hours may be cut in the fall if they do not have enough staff to keep swimmers safe, she said. “We usually like to have about 20-25 staff and by the end of the summer we will be down quite a few – this training program is to keep us going through-out the year,” van’t Kruis explained. Anyone interested in the program is asked to contact the Terrace Aquatic Centre for more information.

Centennial boys make provincial team By CECILE FAVRON THEY MIGHT be outside hitters, but they are on the inside track for success at their sport. Two rising Terrace volleyball stars, Evan Veldman and Lucas Mantel, have been training in Kamloops with Team BC for the National Team Challenge Cup (NTCC) tournament starting today July 15 through to the 19th in Edmonton. The pair, who just completed 10th grade, were chosen for the U16 team and will be joining 22 more of the best players from across B.C. to battle teams from other provinces at the tournament. Evan and Lucas were both drawn from Centennial Christian School which has done extremely well in vol-
leyball in the past few years, despite their small student population. “Because it is a small school, they have had a lot more opportunity,” said school principal Edgar Veldman. “When these boys were in Grade 8, they were playing on the senior boy's team so they were really challenged to play at a higher level of volleyball.” They were both chosen as outside hitters for Team BC, but excel in all volleyball positions, observed Veldman. “They have played a variety of positions and they are very well-rounded,” he said. In May, scouts for the provincial team came to the area to watch the youths play and the boys and Centennial student, Chad Macdonald,
were all chosen to go to a grueling four-day tryout camp in Kamloops. “I was pretty nervous at first,” said Lucas. “I thought I played pretty good, but I really didn't know if I would make the team because there were a lot of good players.” The camp not only tested the boys physically, but tested their mental endurance to keep on going through the process, said principal Veldman. Contestants at the NTCC tournament have the chance to be selected to represent Canada and train to participate on Team Canada's U16/17 team. Forty boys will be chosen in total for the national team. Evan says that even if he doesn't make the national team, the experience will
still be one of his best opportunities in what could be a long volleyball career. “With some of the best coaches in B.C., we have improved a ton in these couple of weeks,” he said. Their key to success might be that both Lucas and Evan started playing young following in the footsteps of other members in their family. “My love for the sport just took off from watching our older brothers,” explained Lucas. And since the boys started playing the sport formally in Grade 6, they have been inseparable all the way to the provincial team. “Lucas and I have been playing together since the beginning, I have never played on a team without him,” said Evan.

lcan was always crowing about being number one in the aluminum business. Len asked his host and tour guide, the president of the Intalco Smelter, about this in the latter’s spacious office at the end of the tour. A long-suffering look came over the president’s face. Like Alcan, we dissolve the alumina from bauxite in cryolite baths inside the large, carbon lined pots you saw earlier, using the Hall-Heroult reduction. The alumina gathers on a large cathode by electrolysis, then it’s siphoned off and flows into furnaces where it’s alloyed with other metals for specific purposes. From there it’s cast into ingots or poured into molds. The whole operation takes a huge amount of electricity and that, he said, is where Alcan’s Kitimat operation, has a big advantage over its competitors because it has a sweetheart deal with the government. Not only do they get power cheaper than us, they make enormous profits selling it. They’re power brokers. Not long after he returned to Terrace, Len shared the story of his trip to Ferndale with the local opposition to Kemano II at a meeting held in the Elks’ Hall. Jim Culp and I were there representing the interests of steelhead. Jim Fulton, the member of parliament for Skeena at the time, was there, as were municipal politicians and concerned citizens from the region. It was an invigorating session though most of the discussion has faded in my mind over time, but what hasn’t faded is
THE TOTEM Saddle Club held its annual Kings and Queens contest last week for young riders to prove they had the skill and dedication to represent the club. The winner this year, 16-year-old Jennifer Rempel, took the title for the fourth year and will now lead the club's float in the Riverboat days parade. “It was pretty cool, it was quite an achievement to see how much Diggy [the horse] stepped up, we started at the bottom, but now we managed to hit queen for our third year together,” ex-
plained Rempel. She said her horse had trouble adjusting to the strict restraint he had to show when he first started the competition. Rempel competed against this year's crowned princesses Samantha Essay, 14, and Dylan Currie, 11, as well as runner-up Meagan Glawe, 15. The contestants were judged on their ability to control their horse while they were not in the saddle and how they presented their horse to the judge. Then they rode through obstacles to show that they could do the ride pattern with precision and made a small

speech to the judge about their horse and their work in the club. “The hardest part was the speech,” laughed Rempel. “But I have improved since the first ones. It is stressful when all your friends are watching you.” The young rider has been competing on horseback since she was two years old when her mom would lead her horse in the ring. “As soon as I could hold my head up, I was on a horse.” she said. The contest took place last week during the club's regular gymkhana speed events held throughout the summer at the fair grounds.
vincial government set out to woo private industry. The Aluminum Company of Canada with operations in Quebec and Ontario seemed a likely prospect, given that aluminum production is energy intensive. At first, Alcan management was lukewarm, or seemed lukewarm, to the entreaties from government officials. The pot had to be sweetened, and was it ever in what has to be the largest resource give-away in the history of Canada. When all was said and done, a spillway to divert Fraser Watershed water was built at Skins Lake, the Kenny Dam was built in the Nechako River Canyon with little concern for the damage or mitigation for the Nechako salmon, one of the finest rainbow trout fisheries in the world, the sturgeon and Bull Trout, and the riverine environment downstream. A forest was drowned at Ootsa Lake with all the environmental and economic loss such a tragedy entails. To transmit the power generated by cascading a river through a 16 kilometre tunnel, through penstocks, to generator turbines, required the construction of the transmission line, through a linear clearcut that snakes over 82 kilometres of tortuous coastal forest. In the end, the bill, which included the construction of two company towns. port facilities and, of course, a smelter, was what amounted to a whopping $3 billion in today’s currency. From Alcan’s perspective, it was a canny investment that history demonstrates has paid—and continues to pay— handsome dividends.

Two orphaned grizzly cubs released back into the wild TWO ORPHANED grizzly cubs rescued late last fall have been released back into the wild. After spending the winter at Smithers’ Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter in a pen with three other grizzly cubs from other parts of the province, and gaining a couple of hundred pounds, the two healthy cubs were loaded into traps at the shelter and transported west of Terrace June 17. Conservation officers Ryan Gordon, Sgt. Tracy Walbauer and Provincial Wildlife Vet Helen Schwantje from Victoria along with Northern Lights staff prepared the cubs for their release far from people. The cubs were drugged, blood and hair samples were collected and a health assessment was completed.
