City economic arm gets overhaul By JOSH MASSEY THE CITY of Terrace says it will work together with the Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce to reformat the municipality’s economic development program following council’s vote to terminate its contract with the Terrace Economic Development Authority (TEDA). Council’s decision at the July 13 regular council meeting to terminate the $165,000 contract with TEDA is effective Sept. 30 and came about after a close vote held in camera. Created in 1999, TEDA has employed both an economic development officer and front end staffer to perform various functions related to attracting and facilitating
commerce in the city and area. Councillors Stacey Tyers, Michael Prevost, James Cordeiro and Mayor Carol Leclerc voted in favour of closing up the organization, while councillors Lynne Christiansen, Brian Downie and Sean Bujtas voted against the motion. According to TEDA board chair Rob Dykeman, the city’s new plan to combine the role of TEDA’s economic development officer with the internal city position of corporate lands manager might be an attempt at increased efficiency on the city’s part, but that something will be lost in translation. Remaining an arms-length organization, Dykeman argues, would have allowed for TEDA to continue its tradition of “dialog with businesses so they can have a non-bi-
ased, non-political viewpoint on their business or their business opportunities.” Now that the economic development officer position will be in-house, Dykeman said that healthy distancing will be compromised. And while the city could save money by combining the positions and boost community grant spending which used to pay for TEDA, Dykeman remains concerned. “That money paid for wages and marketing and promotion of Terrace, I feel it was money well spent,” he said. In a press release last week, Leclerc argued that shuttering TEDA and making its mandate one internal to the city will “also improve the free flow of information between city departments related to economic development, and provide the business com-
munity and investors with a direct line to the city and council.” A new, internal economic development officer position will be created to fill the old external economic development officer role with the added duties of the corporate lands manager position, Leclerc explained. The corporate lands manager position was created several years ago and was held by city official Herb Dusdal until he quit this winter to take a private sector job with local construction company Nechako Northcoast. His main role at the city was managing the city’s real estate portfolio, with the central piece being the Skeena Industrial Development Park.

New doctors on their way By CECILE FAVRON
RESIDENTS WHO may have lost their family doctor will be happy to know that three new doctors and a surgeon are slated to begin arriving here next month. This will bring the total number of family physicians up to 13 and Northern Health also says that a new general surgeon is on his way later this year as well. The first new doctor, Dr. Cesar Lacsamana, is a graduate of the Saint Paul’s residency program in Vancouver and will practice in Terrace on a two-year contract that begins just after the August long weekend. This is the first new doctor to start in Terrace since the departure of Dr. Nanette Fourie last March. “We’re looking forward to having Dr. Lacsamana start here,” said Dr. Geoffrey Appleton who is the local medical director for Northern Health. A new pilot program is also aiming to settle a new foreign doctor from South Africa in Terrace on a three-year contract in September, however, the candidate has yet to graduate. Dr. Ali Mohammad is currently placed in Prince Rupert pending his start date in Terrace and will take over Dr. Appleton’s part-time practice when he retires this fall. Another two doctors – Dr. Aniedi Dear, a general surgeon, and Dr. Natasha De Sousa, a family physician, have confirmed with Northern Health that they plan to relocate to Terrace later this year or early next year. According to Northern Health, they are still struggling to fill the positions of specialist doctors. Urologist Dr. Francis Osie-Tutu retired this summer and Dr. Leilani Therese Almas retired from her gynecology position earlier this year and now works solely as a general practitioner. Neither vacancy has been filled yet, and the community will still rely on the expertise of the retired specialists.

Contractor admits sign discriminates By CECILE FAVRON IF YOU have driven down Sparks or Eby recently you have probably seen the signs re-routing you around the construction on the 4700 block of Walsh, but have you been offended by them? The contracting company who was hired by the city to do the work admits that some of its signs discriminate against female employees. “We never even thought about it until after they were up,” explained Darren Bjorgaard, the site superintendent from Bear Creek Contracting. He concedes that the four “Men Working” signs facing both lanes of traffic on Sparks and Eby are sexist and promises that future signs will not use the word ‘men’. “We did think about it after-the-fact and next time we will write something different,” said Bjorgaard. “We will write ‘people working’ or ‘construction workers working’ or maybe even ‘civil engineers working.’” However, he says the company did not think it would be a problem to keep the signs up and there are no plans to change the words on them for this project. There is one female construction worker on the site for Bear Creek and Bjorgaard describes the worker, Sarah Marchand, as a great employee. He says that in future, signs will not discriminate against her. “She’s awesome, she’s the hardest worker we have,” he noted. Construction on the block was initiated by the city this year to fix the stretch of road that was marked by potholes and a badly broken surface. Civil engineers are currently working on installing new pipes under the street.

ward to see if it’s a huge cost to keep this up if it fades away each year.

TERRACE IS a city already blessed with tremendous naturally occurring rainbows, so having one painted across the street as city council decided to do July 13 might be a natural fit. The city voted to paint a rainbow crosswalk somewhere downtown in order to show its support of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transsexual (LGBT) community. Local resident Sarah Artis had sent a letter requesting that such a crosswalk be installed, saying she was inspired by the same project recently OK’d in Prince Rupert. Artis says these public displays acknowledge the “often underrepresented members of our community.” Council was unanimous in its support, however, the location of the colourful painted sidewalk is still up in the air. One suggestion was a rainbow sidewalk spread from the Elephant’s Ear Bistro across the street to the Xander’s Coffee side on Lakelse Ave. Another is across
from Dairy Queen to the Baker Extraordinaire side on Park Ave. And yet another location for the coloured crossing would be between Mark’s Work Warehouse and Bear Country Inn on Lakelse. “There were some very interesting comments by council made about that today,” said Leclerc after the meeting. “It’s an ask that we can do. It will be interesting as we move for-

Oil and gas key for WestJet By CECILE FAVRON WESTJET DIRECT flights to Calgary have not yet seen the passenger levels the airline is aiming for, a company official told Terrace’s business community at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon last week. WestJet started the round trip offered daily between Calgary and Terrace last May in the hopes of partnering with oil and gas companies and capitalizing on the LNG boom. “It’s early days yet, so I would say it’s building up. There’s traffic from Calgary out here, but we’re probably at a bit early part of the curve,” said WestJet’s Chris Avery, VP of network plan-

programming to run it, while the trailer itself is worth about $1 million. A planned liquified natural gas industry was also a big impetus behind the investment, with LNG Canada contributing $200,000 and pipeline company TransCanada contributing $75,000. “Before we make a final investment decision on this project you will see more than a million dollars just in training,” said Susannah Pierce, director of external affairs for LNG Canada, one of several companies still waiting to finalize plans for liquified natural gas plants in Kitimat. Rebecca McElhoes, manager of community relations for TransCanada’s two natural gas pipelines planned for the region, one that would feed the LNG Canada project, said that “Our proposed BC projects would require thousands of skilled workers for the construction phase, if we reach a final investment decision.” The new trades training trailer has a metal interior with shiny anti-slip flooring. Inside is a satellite video conferencing module and power system that can run on an internal diesel generator. While it is capable of going to remote communities, it will also be used in larger centres such as Kitimat, said NWCC director of communications Sarah Zimmerman. Zimmerman added that programming provided by the Industrial Training Authority (ITA) represents about $300,000 of the total investment, and that another major donor who contributed will be named soon.
the region serviced by the Northwest Regional Airport is what’s keeping WestJet interested in that route, he explained. “We also talked to the oil companies of the potential movement of workers that need to come up here for the potential projects in natural gas that may happen, so we’re ready for that as well,” Avery said. All airlines that fly out of Terrace now provide service to Calgary. The first to venture into the market was Hawkair affiliate Central Mountain Air that announced the route with a stopover in Prince George, back in 2013. WestJet followed soon and then Air Canada as well.

A HUGE new mobile training unit has been introduced in the northwest, capable of bringing skills training anywhere a semi-trailer truck can drive, according to instructors who were on hand at Northwest Community College today for the grand unveiling. Officials from Northwest Community College said the investment will enable people in remote areas to access training closer to their families and offer an opportunity for First Nations who may face obstacles because of their distance from central towns. And for the province of B.C. as a whole, the government says the trailer is part of a larger program to prepare for a shortfall of labour expected in coming years. “We’re expecting one million job openings in the next seven years in British Columbia, about two-thirds of that will be due to retirements,” said Minister of Advanced Education Andrew Wilkinson, who attended the unveiling. “About 15 per cent of that one million will be in trades. That’s 150,000 trades people we are looking for in the next seven years.” The training trailer expands electronically into a 1,000 square foot room designed to help educate about 100 people a year, and possibly more depending on which programs it is used for. The various trades it is designed to accommodate include carpentry, piping, welding, plumbing, hairstyling and electrical. The provincial government’s contribution to the trades training trailer is $598,500 of the total investment $2.7 million for the trailer and the
ning at the July 16 luncheon. He explained that the route was developed with the intent of catering to the oil and gas companies through scheduled flights and charters. “Our new non-stop flight from Terrace to Calgary – that links up our oil companies with their head office,” he said. And the current schedule for flights between two industry hubs “is what the oil companies in Calgary said worked for them.” “Shell talked about needing a later flight so we’re going to delay that flight out of Calgary and it will now leave a little later in the afternoon,” Avery noted.

The “sign guy” Walter outside the Rosswood Community Hall.
Rosswood Your guide to the tiny community north of Terrace by Cecile Favron
ROSSWOOD IS a kind of 'last frontier' in British Columbia. The community of about 150 people is located 37 kilometres north of Terrace where Kalum Lake Road and the Nisga'a Highway meet. You have probably wondered 'why do people even live out there?' And you'd be right to be sceptical. The tiny community was off the BC Hydro grid until 1999 and only received phone service in 2001. Even I, a young adult of the late Generation Y, remember the days without electricity and using the old radio phone. Yet people do live out there; they even thrive out there. Rosswood has a long history dating back to when a young pioneer named Annie Ross ran a post office for the bustling community of 300 in 1909. The pioneer settlement was built on Kitsumkalum territory at the north end of our first stop: Kalum Lake. 1) The deep blue giant, Kalum Lake, used to provide the only access to Rosswood (by boat) until the first road to Rosswood was built in 1954. Kalum Lake is now a boating attraction and, if you brave the cold water, you can even go swimming. There are three entrances to the lake. The first is a campground at the south end of the lake, just past Goat Creek, in the Kitsumkalum Provincial Park. The second, just north of Maroon Creek, boasts a large boat launch area called the Kalum Lake Recreation Site. The last entrance is just past Wesach Creek and provides walk-in access to the spawning channel. Come by during the summer months to see the channel absolutely full of spawning fish as well as the bald eagles and bears that come down to enjoy the feast. 2) Wesach Mountain (also called Goat Mountain) and Wesach Falls are the next stops.The entrance to Wesach Falls is located just before Wesach Creek. If you pull into the little parking space to your left you will see the unmarked trail that leads you to the roaring falls. To hike the mountain you can drive part way up on an old logging road (located just south of Doug-
las Creek) and then you can hike to the top. There is also an abundance of blueberries to keep you going on your way up. 3) Probably the most memorable landmark in Rosswood is the Peeing Tree. Originally called the 'Magic Tree,' some 40 years ago the tree was outfitted with a pipe connecting it to a neighbouring stream, which it then grew around. Don Parmenter, the creator of the tree, remembers thinking “it would be so much easier to collect water if we just put a pipe in that tree.” Since then, the tree has been a water collecting hotspot for Rosswood residents and, with the introduction of loggers into the area, the name slowly shifted towards the 'peeing tree.' It’s famous for its crystal clear drinking water that comes straight from the stream – “I haven't tasted anything like it since,” said Parmenter. Make sure to bring water jugs to fill up. 4) When you stop at the Peeing Tree, look across the road to what used to be the Parmenter's place and you'll see the newest edition to Rosswood: the Rosswood Teepee. This towering structure is actually a horse barn with five levels: the ground level is for horses, the second is for hay, the third is a tack room, the fourth will have solar panels on the east, south and west side, and the fifth is an observatory with sleeping quarters so you can sleep close to the stars. Stan Brazeau, the fellow building it, is relatively new to Rosswood and says that he “is kinda replacing the barn [which is old and rotting] in a different style.” Brazeau was inspired by his Cree roots in Northern Alberta and set out “to build the largest teepee in all of BC.” The retired logger has never built something like this before, but has created the structure, which is 48 feet across at the bottom, with only farm equipment and no help. Also in the works is a wooden sculpture called the Rosswood Mosquito, so keep your eye out for that along the road. 5) Now, continue on until you pass Egan Road and take the next

left down to the Rosswood Community Hall, ball-field, and campground. This hall was built through volunteer labour in the 1980s and recently had a new roof put on it, financed by Terrace lottery winner Bob Erb. Every Saturday morning from May to mid-August there’s a pancake breakfast and garage sale. Plenty of folks from Terrace come out so just look for the sign guy Walter guiding you to the en-
trance. All money raised through the breakfast and garage sale goes toward new playground equipment for the community grounds. 6) Last, but not least, is the general store which is located right off the highway past the hall. The building was bought for $1.00 in 1983 by Wilf Geier. Wilf ran the store for many years and it has now passed down to an in-law in the Geier family, Clarke Hanna. The general store boasts an
unusual line-up. Along with basic snacks, the store provides glutenfree, vegan, and other natural food options not readily available elsewhere. Clarke was inspired to bring in these new products on the request of Rosswood residents who have long placed orders together from whole foods suppliers.

Higher risk NEW research has found a link between long-term use of high dose anticholinergic drugs and a higher risk of dementia in older adults. Published in the journal “Aging”, the new study highlights the importance of continuing to examine medication use and effects for all conditions as we age. Anticholinergic agents work by blocking the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and are integral to many different medications – both prescription and over the counter. Some conditions commonly treat with anticholinergics are overactive bladder, seasonal allergies, insomnia and depression. Medications with these properties are used by between eight and 37 per cent of older adults. Tricyclic antidepressants, firstgeneration antihistamines and antimuscarinics for bladder control were the medications examined in this study. These results are a good reminder of the need to regularly assess medication use and of the need for health care professionals to educate patients of potential risks and make an effort to minimize their use when possible. In many cases such as with antidepressants and sleep medications, there may be alternative medicines available that do not use anticholinergic agents and may be a better treatment option. Ongoing research and the newer medications for many common disorders will also help. Black Press
How do so many of us not carry a wallet?
T
o secure my wallet and keys when I shop, I sacrifice Gucci glamour for a fannypack. To keep my car and house keys as safe as I know how, short of dangling them from a chain like a trucker or biker, I anchor them to the fannypack by a lanyard crocheted from upholstery tufting cord. The cord, made to hold buttons indenting overstuffed furniture, has a break strength of 60 pounds. I also crocheted over the cord with red wool to make it more visible. This arrangement has one main drawback. To let my truck engine run while I open and close the front gate, I have to remove the fannypack and place it on the seat. If I ever exit the truck and absentmindedly leave the fannypack on the seat, I’ll be hiring a locksmith. To lose or misplace wallet or keys gives me an instant sick feeling. This I learned recently following a visit to my doctor. As I approached my truck after the visit I realized I was locked out. I had left my

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI fannypack dangling on the back of the door inside the examination room. Not only was I locked out of my vehicle, I had visions of a patient occupying his wait going through my wallet and extracting the cash for my week’s groceries. You can bet I did my senior version of a sprint back to the office. Fortunately, the doctor was already examining the patient who had had no time to be bored waiting. Still there are those who deliberately move about without their wallets or identification on them. Two such instances
cropped up not long ago. The first instance became apparent to me as I sat in a doctor’s waiting room. A man came in to inquire about a first visit. He wanted to know if his work medical insurance would pay for any treatment? The receptionist asked to see his Care Card. “I don’t have it with me,” he said. “My wallet’s at home.” How then, I wondered, had he arrived at this office? Did he live near enough to walk, by transit or taxi, with a friend? Or did he drive without his licence? The fine for driving without a valid licence is $138; for failing to produce a licence is $81. When the man left, I mentioned it to the receptionist. She said, “More people than you’d expect show up without their wallets.” Does that suggest they all drive without carrying their licence? Only a week or two later I was queued at the pharmacy waiting to order a prescription refill when a man at the head of the line was asked to show two pieces of identifi-

cation. “Your Care card, or driver’s licence,” the pharmacist added helpfully. This is routine procedure, whether you are going for a lab blood test or any other contact with the medical system. The man was on crutches. One leg had been amputated below the knee. “My wallet’s in the truck,” he said. I could understand why he wasn’t about to nip back to his truck to fetch his wallet. The pharmacist explained two pieces of ID were a standard requirement before filling any prescription. The man reasoned, “If I’m not the patient named in that prescription would I come back to pick up the drug later?” I left without knowing whether his prescription was accepted or rejected. With vandals smashing into vehicles for a dime or a doughnut, a wallet left lying on the console is an open invitation for a broken car window, an unncessary call to police, and paperwork to file for an insurance claim. Isn’t that reason enough to carry your wallet?

The Mail Bag Too bad gov’t is against agriculture
MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO
MARILYN SOULES wants the city to do something to stop drivers from dangerously speeding down Lanfear Hill and onto her street at the bottom of the hill. Some will pick up speed as they head down the street toward Lanfear Hill too.
Stop speeding down her street
Dear Sir, This letter is intended to give those of you who use Pheasant Street (the one block length street at the bottom of Lanfear hill) a heads up regarding the plans of the residents. We will be delivering a petition to Terrace City council to have the street blocked at the Lanfear Hill entrance or have
speed bumps installed at intervals. I have reported the speeders a number of times to the police and have been told if I submit their license plate numbers, they could receive a warning. The sad part is that they are travelling so fast I can’t read them. I have been tempted to borrow a radar gun to rate and
document their actual speeds. I am not exaggerating when I say that 80 and 90 miles an hour is not that unusual. When speeding down Lanfear hill they just continue on to Pheasant and increase speed as they go. Reversely, when heading up towards the hill from Park, they have the pedal to the metal. There is a stop sign before
they head up the hill, but calling what many motorists do a “rolling stop” would be grossly understated. We are quite surprised there has not been a major collision yet! We are talking trucks hauling boats and trailers and RVs, cars and motorcycles, travelling at excessive speed.
To the Honourable Christy Clark, premier, In reference to firing Richard Bullock, chairman of the Agriculture Land Commission (ALC) May 14, 2015. It is another sad day in the annals of your government. One step at a time the ALR is being dismantled, which most British Columbians have proudly embraced since its inception in 1973. At a time when the Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) should be strengthened, you are weakening and taking it apart. My best guess is that most British Columbians would agree that we need to preserve our farmland and move it up to another level of productivity and value. Either you are ignorant or you are unwilling to concede that B.C. has a small amount of agriculture land compared to other provinces, states and countries of a similar geographical size. There also appears to be disconnect or a lack of understanding over the fact that there are too many people in the world, too little fertile farmland and an agriculture capability to feed the burgeoning population that will double in size much too quickly. Eventually our province will need every piece of agricultural land to be able to feed our people as food systems worldwide diminish and break down because of the human overpopulation. Bad agriculture and land use practices, poorly thought out energy decisions, reduced water supplies and our rapidly changing climate (faster than climate scientists predicted) are compounding the problem. It is time to realize the consequences of your wrongheaded policies and direction that will perpetuate our dependence upon agriculture production from other jurisdictions.

Corporation shouldn’t profit at public’s expense
T
he provincial Environmental Appeal Board has finished its hearing and is now considering the evidence that the Ministry of the Environment may have erred in giving Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA) a permit to increase its sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions by 56 per cent, from 27 to 42 tonnes a day. The board needs to consider a number of important social questions. Does a private corporation have the right to pollute the public space? Unless the company can show that public benefit far outweighs harm, the answer is ‘no’. Do the taxes added to the public treasury and the jobs available to the community offset the damage to the environment and the people who live in it? Is the company doing its best to reduce pollution to its lowest? The answer to both questions is ‘no’. RTA could easily install a scrubber that would drastically
reduce SO2 emissions. Norwegian Hydro has used scrubbers to reduce theirs by more than 90 per cent. So why doesn’t RTA follow world standard, removing over 800,000 tons over the life of the smelter of sulphur dioxide from the air of a very confined air shed in which over 30,000 people breath? Is it because, if the permit to emit 42 tons of pollution a day is upheld, it will represent the maximum amount of SO2 that the valley can withstand? Which means that no one else can emit any. Which means that if RTA then puts in a scrubber and reduces their pollution, they can sell their reduction to other industries for more than the original cost of the scrubber? Does Rio Tinto think it’s OK to pollute when they don’t have to and to then sell pollution rights? Social licence is the application of public values, expressed as approval. Canadians value their health and that of their en-
GUEST COMMENT
ROB HART vironment and strongly believe that great care should be take with both. Rio Tinto is losing social licence by refusing to reduce projected pollution, when it is well within their power to do so, in order to increase their private profitability. They have argued that their increase in SO2 is defensible because the new smelter will reduce
other harmful emissions which they now have the technology to profitably reprocess. Should RTA only reduce emissions when they can profit from that? When does a permit to pollute go from an unhappy necessity to an addition to the company’s profitability? Rio Tinto Alcan has not explained why they think reducing three sources of pollution gives them the right to increase the fourth source. Sulphur dioxide causes acid rain which kills trees and aquatic life if it goes on long enough in high enough concentrations. This is not the first time this company has created a new profit centre at public expense. Alcan, as the company was known prior to its purchase by Rio Tinto, was given the right by provincial legislation in 1950 to divert a huge amount of public water to create the electricity required to produce aluminum. In return, it was to produce
jobs for the North. As electricity became worth more than the aluminum, Alcan won the right to reduce its production and therefore the number of jobs it provided to sell more “surplus” electricity. In designing the new smelter now nearing full completion, Rio Tinto Alcan could have increased production more given the amount of power it had available to it. It chose not to in order to protect it’s very profitable electricity sales. Less public good, more private profit. In designing its new smelter, RTA could have built in the scrubber to reduce its pollution. It chose not to. Less public good, more private profit. Can the government amend the permit it has issued Rio Tinto? Can they act on our behalf to increase the public good? There has been enough private profit at public expense.

Federal gov’t has big housing role in Terrace PROVINCIAL NDP leader John Horgan believes the federal government has a larger role to play alongside the province’s BC Housing Agency in dealing with the combined problem of high rents and low housing supply in Terrace and area. “At some point we’re going to have to meet the needs of the people in the services sector who don’t have the wages to meet the rents,” he said during a recent trip to the city. “And that can only be addressed by BC Housing and the federal government,” Horgan continued. Horgan, who met with city
council and other local organizations, said one of the problems has been the living out allowances large companies can pay workers coming in from the outside. Those allowances often drive up the cost of rental accommodation, providing a problem for those who can’t afford new rent levels, said Horgan. “Who wants to be in a town but can’t find a place to live?” he asked. One solution is to increase the amount of housing, thus increasing the vacancy rate so that rents will then be reduced as landlords compete to find

renters. “You just may have to increase supply,” said Horgan.
“The market itself may not be able to resolve this issue during a boom time.”
He added that broadening acceptance should be community-led, rather than municipally guided. Like all other councillors, Lynne Christiansen voted in favour of the crosswalk but said that she worries about precedence for other groups wanting special projects covered by the city. Council estimates the crosswalk would cost about $1,800 to install, but a firmer estimate is expected soon. A regular crosswalk costs about $500 to do. City staff will come back to council at a future meeting with a recommendation as to where and when the crosswalk should be painted. The Village of Masset on Haida Gwaii has also decided to paint such a crosswalk in support of two-spirited people.

City hears from groups, sells land L.A.W. THERE’S A new provincial political party that has sprung from the northwest, one that aims to end government investment in the fossil fuel industry and bring women and aboriginal people to the forefront of government. Introduced by local writer Merv Ritchie to city council at the July 13 meeting, the party is called The Land Air Water Party of British Columbia and is officially registered with Elections BC. The party has no single leader per se and candidates for elections are decided by local First Nations matriarchs as was customary in pre-contract society, Ritchie explained to council. “All governance decisions by municipal, regional, or other districts elected or administrative body must have these decisions ratified by the local indigenous nation traditional authority,” says his policy statement. Accompanying Ritchie to council were other L.A.W. members including local artist Matthew Daratha and Martin Holzbauer. “All transportation of petroleum products will be in an undiluted, cold, non-pressurized, fully contained state. Diluted bitumen, transported by any method, will be denied entry into British Columbia,” reads the party’s platform. Mayor Carol Leclerc wished the group luck. The party policy says that L.A.W “will
implement secret ballots (a foundation of democracy)” at the governance level. City councillor James Cordeiro said after the meeting that such a policy would lead to corruption because politicians could then say one thing but vote another way in the secret ballot. However, Ritchie told council that voting by elected officials is biased because increasingly they are told to keep to a party line, or otherwise feel the recrimination from their fellow officials, which is why L.A.W advocates for a secret ballot.
New park wanted WITH THE city having announced a parks study to be undertaken soon, one local resident is already having her say about where a new park might or should be located. Barb Tetz made her presentation on behalf of her urban gardening group, and is calling for a small city-owned lot at the bottom of Lanfear Hill at 5012 be rezoned to a parks designation from the current residential category. “This lot has been left vacant since a fire burned a house down I believe some 30 years ago,” said Tetz. “It has evidently posed a fire threat because of kids going into this area and smoking [in the tall grass]. This has further motivated us to clean it up so the lot could be mowed.” “You’re just a little
bit ahead of us,” said Mayor Carol Leclerc in response to Tetz’s presentation. “We’re planning to do a parks study this year.” Tetz said that she has people who are willing to help install a picnic area with tables at the site if council indicates through the study that a park can be created at the site.
Land sale THE CITY last week finalized a land sale worth just over $1 million to a local business. The five-acre property, located at 5004 Keith Avenue near the corner of Kenney is going to be the new site for the Toyota dealership, and was purchased by Onstein Bros. Holdings Inc. for $1,025,000. The intention of sale was announced over a year ago. “The city is pleased to have been able to work with the Onsteins to reach a deal on the property so they can have the space they need to expand their Toyota dealership within the City of Terrace.” said Mayor Carol Leclerc in a press release. She added, “it is exciting to see a long-term commercial use developed on this highly visible site in the community that has historically been used as a log yard.” The new Toyota dealership will be the first development in the Light Industrial/Commercial Sector identified in the Keith Estates Neighbourhood Concept Plan that was completed in 2014.

Too bad the government is against agriculture What were you thinking when you fired Mr. Bullock, an astute, highly thought of and capable chairman for the ALC? He was a fierce defender of the ALR prior to the recent changes to its structure. Not only have you fired someone who was doing a good job, he would have filled his term on November 30, 2015. In his place you have hired someone who does not have near the same expertise or experience. As well your Government divided the ALR into Northern and Southern Zones. The Northern Zone now has a less robust
ALR protective mantel around it. The new rules will allow some agriculture land to be used for other purposes, such as oil and gas exploration and development, and construction of the Site C dam whose reservoir will cover the most productive agriculture land in Northern B.C. We can ill afford to lose that
farmland which in the long term will be more valuable than the electric power being created for LNG production. Foreign interests have purchased large tracts of agriculture land (est. 10,000 ha. of 4.7 million ha. total agriculture land in BC) for carbon sequestration and credits by planting
trees on land that cannot be logged for 100 years because a covenant saying that must be so. Should we need that land for agriculture the covenant prevents it from happening. Apparently we are the only western province which does not have restrictions on foreign ownership of agriculture land.
It appears that Minister of Agriculture Norm Letnick is misinformed over the most recent sale of 7,000 ha. of agriculture land that has been sold to foreign interests, saying it was 1,500 ha. I am ashamed your government is treating farmland in such an irresponsible way. I
live in Terrace where a small tract of productive farmland in the ALR along the Skeena River will be threatened by development proposals should your LNG dream become a reality. Terrace at one time was the bread basket for the Skeena Valley but lost most of that agriculture capability because
past land use planning and development excluded retention of the most productive farm land. The changes to the ALR provide little comfort that the right decisions will be made in favour of protecting Terrace farmland when competing with urban development. Jim Culp, Terrace B.C.
From A7
Stop speeding Just as Mr. Checkely mentioned in his letter last week, the increase in residents on the bench has contributed to traffic flow issues. The same exists on Pheasant. There are a very small number of homes on our street. Our street was never intended to carry the volume of traffic it now sees, as evidenced by the pot holes and ruts that appear on a regular basis. We now have small children who are trying to learn to ride their bikes or walk their pets, but few speeders even slow at all when they see them. Parents here are fed up!!! I did a count recently and one Saturday we had 166 cars travel down our street, and the Sunday was worse with 173. No one would mind if people were the least respectful of our space and followed the speed limit. Hopefully council will step up and help us preserve our neighborhood. We all pay taxes. Marilyn Soules, Terrace, B.C.
Correction IN THE July 15, 2015 issue of the Terrace Standard, the story “Police seize stolen items” contained a mistake. In the three-vehicle car accident, it was the Toyota who rear-ended the Dodge and then rolled back into the Ford at the intersection of Hwys 16 and 37.

City arm gets overhaul ready saved by TEDA, Gauvin says should be used for the chamber’s new venture, something she plans to include in a forthcoming proposal to be submitted to the city. “Within that proposal we will be putting in that the chamber will take on the numerous duties that TEDA did that the city can’t really do,” she said. She added that the proposal will include keeping the front end position and “moving the chamber into the TEDA building,” which TEDA is currently leasing. The new organization could be called the Terrace Business Resource Centre, and would exist as an operational department within the chamber’s structure, she added. Gauvin says added that the chamber would expect to have financial

The city’s decision to end TEDA leaves a number of duties to be divided between the city and the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce who also plans to get involved. Avison said $50,000 of the $165,000 budgeted for TEDA came from the Northern Development Initiative Trust. “We will continue to apply for the funding from Northern Development to support our in-house economic development function,” she said. And chamber president Val Gauvin said her organization will be involved in hosting trade shows and putting together the ad-dollar driven Industrial Resources Service Directory.

According to Northern Health the retired urologist and gynecologist will still be on hand in case of emergency. Dr. Almas remains on-call with the prenatal clinic and three general practitioners in Terrace overseeing high risk. There is one candidate for taking over the urologist’s practice who intends to come for a site visit in August. Despite the surge of family doctors coming into the community, Terrace numbers still aren’t where Northern Health would like them to be, said Appleton. “There are four general practitioners who are interested in retiring if and when we find replacements for them,” he noted. To solve this problem, Northern Health is looking ahead at a new program called the Practice Readiness Assessment Program which brings foreign doctors into the province. The program is new to B.C. and the first cohort began its 12-
week program in various northern communities last May. Currently, B.C. only accepts physicians from Britain, Ireland, Australia, and the U.S.A. and all other foreign doctors must pass a screening program in order to practice in Canada. The Practice Readiness Assessment Program is still in its pilot phase, but requires the doctors to sign a contract to practice in a rural community in B.C. for three years. “We are really behind in this province actually,” remarked Appleton explaining that most other provinces have had these programs for years. All of B.C.’s foreign doctors have originally moved to another province on a contract before they were able to move to practice in rural BC. Appleton said that this should change starting with Dr. Mohammad who is currently in the program. “In a nutshell, I am optimistic for general practice here in Terrace,” he said.

Legion starts two Riverboat Days contests A NUMBER of initiatives have been started and finished at the legion this past month. The Big Screen TV funding drive is inching closer to its goal of $1,500 and any donations from members to help us achieve our final goal would be very much appreciated. Just drop into the Legion between 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Saturday with your donation. The new stoves and grills have been installed and ready for Steak Night resumption in September. Meat Draws are still held every Saturday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., with a total of eight draws during the two-hour period. Currently, the Riverboat Days parade is being organized by Comrade Joyce Bradley and the theme this year for the Parade is Showcasing Sports in the Northwest. Riverboats days is always a busy time at the Legion as the Legion is the Parade sponsor. Should you be interested in entering a float into the parade you can leave your entry form with bar staff. After the parade, the judges gather at the Legion to tally up and make their decisions on the winners in each of the categories they score. Following the Parade, take in the annual Legion barbecue, hamburgers and hotdogs for parade entrants, parade watchers and just plain Riverboat Days celebrants. Have a bite and support your Legion. Two new events will be sponsored at the Legion during Riverboat Days. On Saturday August 8, an adult trivia contest starting at 2 p.m. with a $5 entry fee for each team, and on Sunday August 9 there will be a family trivia contest starting at 1 p.m. also a $5 entry fee. Team maximum is five and for the family trivia, there must be a youth on the team. Because we are going “family and kids friendly” for the Sunday event, no alcohol will be available on Sunday. If interested for either day, please e-mail your team name to secretary@branch13.org and a spot will be held for your team. Another big initiative being taken on by the membership committee headed by Comrade Bernie Hallock is gathering e-mail addresses of members. Over the next couple of months do not be surprised to receive a phone call from Comrade Hallock asking if you would like to provide us with your e-mail address so that the executive can keep members up to date on upcoming legion events. If you would like be proactive, you can send your email address to Bernie@branch13.org. The executive is very interested in hearing from the membership. If you have ideas, concerns, and suggestions or want to volunteer for the Meat Draws, Steak Night or special event such as dances, etc., please let us know. You can reach the Branch 13 executive secretary at secretary@branch13.org who will bring your suggestions and ideas to executive.

Cadet takes the pilot’s seat CADET NATHANIAL Brochu, 13, from 747 Unicorn Royal Canadian Air Cadets got to indulge his love of planes while exploring the cockpit of a Cessna 172 at Victoria Airport, during an exclusive tour for air cadets taking courses at Albert Head Cadet Training Centre this summer. Enjoying a coveted place in the left-hand pilot seat, Brochu excitedly inspected the instruments. “This is my first time away from my family for more than one night and I am down here in Victoria! I love the opportunities for travel that I get from air cadets. I am excited about going to museums and sightseeing in different places,” said Brochu. Along with Brochu, the cadets saw the different working parts of a plane and were taught the pre-flight checks every pilot has to complete before taking off. This summer, Brochu, who has been a cadet for almost a year, is taking the two week general training course where he will enjoy a sample of the many activities cadets can pursue and learn important skills such as making a bed. A student at Skeena Middle School, Brochu loves animation when not at cadets but really enjoys the fun activities of the Air Cadet Program. “The flying is really fun. I have been gliding and flying in the tow plane. I can’t describe the feeling but it is good. I just love all the fun!” he said. Brochu went on to enjoy a tour of the Sea King helicopters at 443 Marine Helicopter Squadron.

Local youths at Japan jamboree Greer, 16, is the Terrace patrol’s spokesperson and will be one of two spokespersons for the Canadian contingent, which will mean providing daily updates at the pre-jamboree, the World Jamboree and broadcasting on Scouting Radio. Greer began in Beavers and went on her first trip as a Cub with leader Fleming. She plans on continuing with scouting and becoming a leader. “Thanks so much to him,” she says, adding that Fleming is the reason that they can go on these trips. At pre-jamboree, they will visit Man Mo Temple, Cat Street, Victoria Peak, Stanley Market, Ngong Ping 360 and Po Lin Monastery from July 23 to 28. Then they will go to Kirara-hama, Yamaguchi July 28 to August 8 and then those in the home hospitality program will head to Tokyo August 8 to 10.
Greer knew for four years about the trip and helped fundraise along with the rest of her patrol. Fundraising during the last two years raised $65,341.37 for the trip thru raffle tickets, flower orders, Drive 4 Ur Community With Ford, sandbagging, the Polar Bear swim, helping at the speedway gates and concession stands. Plus donations were received from the United Church, Independent Order of Foresters, First Terrace Rovers, Sunset Kennels, Order of Royal Purple and the Skeena Valley Cruizers. Thirteen scouts, two venturers and four leaders from here who are not going to the world jamboree went to the Pacific Jamboree in Victoria last week. Greer will blog, tweet and post on her Facebook page while away. Follow her on Twitter @ BreeeGreer and on Facebook at Briana Greer.

A reminder that we have been struggling to reach a quorum at our general meetings and in an attempt to address this, the first general meeting after summer break will be the second Saturday of each month, starting with September 12th at 1 p.m. Monies raised by the Legion are given back to both veterans and the community of Terrace. An example of this is The Frank Morris/ Branch 13 Bursary Fund recently giving $5,000 in bursary money for further educational opportunities. The bursary is available to Legion members and their families. Memberships are available for anyone interested in becoming a Legion member. The Legion is open to all members and guests Monday to Saturday. We will remember them.

Nightmares hit season high vs. PG By CECILE FAVRON LAST WEEK’S Summer Smackdown roller derby bout was a gruelling challenge for Terrace’s short-rostered North Coast Nightmares who quashed the larger Rated PG b-team 247-171 which was a season high for points. Though temperatures had cooled outside for what was the final bout of the year, the inside of the Hidber Arena was still steamy, and by late in the bout, hands slipped from shoulders, fouls prevailed and the competition became admittedly sloppy. After a strong first, the Nightmares entered the second half 134-53, but PG rapidly gained points as their opponents tired out. Still, the Nightmares fought to keep their lead and, despite some hard hits, finished the match with an emphatic victory. “PG does do good offence and it tripped us up for a little while in the first half and then we were able to handle it until fatigue set in in the second half,” said the Nightmares coach Chris “Skimo” Thomas. Terrace played the bout with only nine players as opposed to the usual 14. “We played with a very short roster - PG had 12 [players] and they took advantage of that,” said Thomas. Thomas noted that Terrace has been working on their defence since the regional tournament in Richmond last month and that contributed to their win. “We have been working really hard on our defence and it paid off,” Thomas explained. “Also Dream Warrior (Tarea Roberge) has been asking to play offence all season and we finally let her do what she’s best at,” said Thomas. Thomas commended rookie Comet Crush’her (Laura Haley) for her courageous play. “She has no fear, she gets right in there and gets full contact. There was a point in the game were I saw her push almost the whole other team off track at once taking one of our players with them,” he said. Kasey Lewis, a.k.a. “Jugless” also stood out. “Jugless [Kasey Lewis], she is one of our jammers, she had struggled at the beginning of the year with the penalties, but in this bout she was very aware of the track and was able to avoid those penalties even when people forced her into them,” he explained. Thomas said they have been working on keeping their offensive plays strong even while they focus on their defence. “To get to the next level of play, we have to be able to deal with other teams that are capable of [strong defence and offence],” he said. This was also the first game for the newest referee Terra

THE TERRACE U15 boys corked and foot checked their way to a silver medal at the Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial Cup, the provincial tournament where other Terrace teams saw success too. “The team was firing on all cylinders, everyone put in a tremendous amount of effort and battled to win every ball in every game placing them first in their pool,” said coach Carmen McChesney of the event which took place July 9-12 in 100 Mile House. The final game against Langley United came down to the wire with the game tied 1-1 after 80 minutes of regulation time and 20 minutes of overtime.
“Their determination carried into the finals against Langley United and finally the decider went to penalty shots,” said McChesney, giving credit to the parents of players for their support, as well as to TYSA and the Men’s League. Teams competed in six locations: the U13 boys came in 6th in 100 Mile House; the U15 boys came in 2nd in 100 Mile House; the U17 boys came in 8th in Penticton; the U13 girls came in 4th in Nelson; the U15 girls came in 8th in Nelson; the U17 girls came in 4th in Penticton.

Northmen slam Gnats in shutout win By: CECILE FAVRON
IT WAS a shutout win for the Terrace Northmen rugby team who defeated the PG Gnats 29-0 at their final home game of the season last week. “It was a physically intense game, lots of big tackles and good defence displayed by both sides,” said the Northmen’s Adam Linteris of the July 11 match. The game started out extremely close with the Northmen only scoring once in the first half and starting the second half with a slim 5-0 lead. As the game wore on, the speed and conditioning of the Terrace back line took over scoring four tries in the final half and leading them to victory. Conor Watson, Jonathon Doane, Mike Meijer, Werner Pienaar, and Tyson Stoochnoff all scored tries in the game with the Northmen captain Walker Main converting two of the tries. After the match, the Gnats awarded their opponents Craig Dunfield as the best forward Northmen and Werner Pienaar as the best back line player. This was Terrace’s second time battling the Gnats this season after they lost 19-17 while on the road last May. But the team says they have worked hard to improve their game for the rematch. “We kicked a lot more than we usually do, which allowed our backs to take advantage of their speed and wear the PG side down,” said Linteris. “It’s something we have worked on quite a bit since our first game

The Northmen defence was solid throughout the game and shut down any scoring chances the Gnats had. The hard work to prepare for this game paid off as Terrace’s
etween The Ed Sullivan Show and Bonanza there were ads. I suspect they were more effective in whipping up consumer demand if for no other reason than television was still in its infancy then and viewers more naive and therefore more susceptible to the lies of Madmen. That was 1964. I was 15 and like the rest of the male children in my boom baby cohort, I was captivated by the ad showing a Corvair Monza being driven at warp speed over a tortuous route across swampland to demonstrate its stability. A year later, a bright young attorney from Connecticut by the name of Ralph Nader wrote a book called Unsafe at any Speed in which he convincingly argued that when it came to auto manufacture in North America, speed, power, and style rode in the front seat while public safety sat in the back. Nader devoted an entire chapter to the dangerously unstable Corvair and how it came to be that way. General Motors, the maker of the Corvair, responded by hiring sleuths to keep him under surveillance, by tapping his phone, by employing the most sophisticated electronic eavesdropping technology at the time to overhear his private conversations, and by making threatening phone calls to him. They hired young women for the purpose of entrapping him into illicit relationships and harassed his acquaintances. They attempted to cast Nader as a homosexual, which would be an ineffective strategy today, but was ruinous to someone’s reputation 50 years ago. The
back line exposed any defensive openings in their opponents lineup resulting in the victory. “The Terrace back line showed a lot of talent and athleticism with constant pressure and good ball movement,” Linteris said. He says that, although the Northmen defence was solid and the tackling was for-the-most-part
strong, the team still needs to work on consistency if they are going to make it to provincials. It has been a good season for the Northmen who beat the William’s Lake Rustlers for the first time in years at a home game in May. Now the Rustlers, who defeated PG in two games this season, are the only thing that stands between

the Northmen and provincials. “While we did really well in this game, we have some stuff to work on if we hope to go to Williams lake and beat them on their home turf,” said Linteris.

to us is knowing that they do. Alcan has knowingly polluted our environment for five decades at the expense of the health of its workers and the citizens of Kitimat and the Terrace area; the number of cases of bladder cancer and bone disease are proof positive that this is so. The company has only made improvements when forced to by its union and government. It has joined with Eurocan to contaminate the Douglas Channel. It has trampled on the rights of First Nations. It has generated power at a cost of $5 an hour and sold it to us at $71. The village of Kemano, with its breath taking setting and the finest coho fishing in the world could have been made into a world class tourist destination. Instead of donating it to the BC government or at the very least put it up for sale to private developers, Alcan had it burned to the ground. Alcan is like a big mean dog that can only be reined in with a stout choke chain forged from strict regulations and held by a strong firm hand of big government. Instead, we have a small government that genuflects before corporations, has weakened regulations or made them ineffectual by reducing the level of their enforcement. This is a government that has created a department within what was formerly, and more sensibly, called the Ministry of the Environment whose sole function is to assist developers and corporations through the approval process more expeditiously. That same government is about to give Alcan permission to add more poison to the environment and further compromise your health.
