Overpass project getting closer PROVINCIAL TRANSPORTATION ministry officials have begun evaluating contract bids on a major project to improve traffic flow on the Sande Overpass. Expected to cost in the millions, construction to bring about a wholesale shift in how traffic leaves and enters the southern end of the overpass is to start late this summer and be completed this year. Chief within the work plan is to be the creation of a second left-hand turning lane for traffic turning east from the overpass onto Keith Ave. That’ll be done by converting the lane which traffic turning right from the overpass to Keith now takes. “What we did is add another right turn lane further up [the overpass],” explained transportation ministry official Darrell Gunn of the work plan. “Traffic that is [now] turning right will get into that [lane] so that the current lane, of course it will all be redone ….. will be converted into another left turn lane.” That new lane will come from widening the overpass to the west by using existing right of way.

Fish a renewed focus for treaty talks By JOSH MASSEY WHILE LAST week saw the landmark signing of agreements-in-principle outlining the key framework leading toward final treaty negotiations for both the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum first nations, another set of talks is also taking place. That’s because provisions for fish allocations and use aren’t contained within the two agreements-in-principle although they do contain

provisions for land, money, other resource use and governance. Negotiations around fish are instead contained within those separate talks. Fish provisions had been missing from the agreements-in-principle because of a general federal government policy dating back several years that they wouldn’t be negotiated within those agreements. That stems from a federal royal commission into

the decline of the Fraser River sockeye runs of 2009 and the federal government wanting to first consider the Cohen Commission’s recommendations. But that changed last year, says Hilary Lightening of the Tsimshian First Nations Treaty Society which represents Tsimshian First Nations in those talks. “Canada opened up the fisheries mandate in late December of 2014, and the Kitsumkalum, Kitselas and

Metlakatla are currently negotiating the fish chapter,” said Lightening. “Basically the feds just said it’s currently under review and it’s off the negotiating table,” she said of the implications following the release of the Cohen report. Individual Tsimshian First Nations will negotiate specific allocations based on their own requirements, said Lightening. “It’s not a one-size-fitsall approach. Each nation

has its interests in the fisheries component, but they are all at the table together,” she said. Although Metlakatla is not as advanced as are the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum overall treaty negotiations, it did decide to join the overall talks through the Tsimshian treaty society. Also in negotiation now are provisions surrounding migratory birds and how hunting and conservation of these species would be regu-

lated within Tsimshian treaty lands, something which is now a federal domain. Tsimshian negotiators had warned that final treaty talks, even if agreementsin-principle were reached, could not be concluded without an agreement on fish. Last week’s signing of the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum agreements-in-principle confirmed details first reached two years ago.

Inquest has been called into 2013 death of woman By MARGARET SPEIRS

JACKIE LIEUWEN PHOTO

■■ Wired A CREW from Allteck was busy last week along Hwy16 west of Terrace stringing a fibre optic cable, part of the work to bring high speed service to the Nass Valley using BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line towers.

A PUBLIC inquest into the death of a woman who became ill while in RCMP cells here two years ago is set to take place this fall. The BC Coroners Service has scheduled the inquest into the death of Alyssa Josephine Talina George, also known as Alyssa Oleksiuk, to start Oct. 19. George, 25, had been arrested on outstanding warrants from here, Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan after police responded to a call about a civil dispute between landlord/tenant on Kalum Street, reported Terrace RCMP September 4, 2013. She was found in medical distress in the cells at the Terrace RCMP detachment about 14 hours after she had been taken into custody, said the coroners office in its announcement of the inquest last

week. She was taken to Mills Memorial Hospital and later flown to Vancouver General Hospital for more treatment but died September 10, 2013, continued the coroners announcement. Presiding coroner Donita Kuzma and a jury will hear evidence from witnesses under oath to determine the facts surrounding this death. The five-person jury will have the opportunity to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances – the jury’s role is not to find fault. The inquest is expected to take several days, says the coroners service. Inquests are no longer automatically called when a person dies in police custody, and RCMP officials and others say George was not considered to be in custody at the time of

her death. The RCMP did say an internal review was being conducted. Staff Sgt. Rob Vermeulen, speaking for the RCMP, said due to the upcoming inquest, he could not comment on whether the investigation had been completed. The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of BC, which investigates officer-related incidents of death or serious harm in order to determine whether or not an officer may have committed an offence, decided not to investigate the case. “So with this particular case, while there was a death, our preliminary investigation determined there was no relationship or nexus between the death and an officer’s actions/ inactions,” said Kellie Kilpatrick, executive director public accountability for the IIO. Of the 300 cases the office receives each

year, it declines about 25 per cent based on the information it receives from police report, and the office takes on about 25 per cent of the cases immediately, she explained. In the remaining 50 per cent where it is not clear whether to decline or take the case based on the information received, a preliminary investigation is done, she said. Out of those, about half are taken on as cases, she added. In this case, it became clear George wasn’t in the care of the RCMP when she became ill, she said. “At the time she was in distress, she was under the care and control of civilian guards, not RCMP officers. As we do not have jurisdiction over civilian guards, we did not have the lawful authority to take this on unless we had been directed by the attorneygeneral or the director of police services. And

that did not happen,” said Kilpatrick. “In this particular case, once we confirmed that the cell block guards were not police officers, we declined jurisdiction.” As to why it’s taken nearly two years to get to inquest, coroners office official Barb McLintock said she couldn’t comment because any details about investigations could be evidence at the inquest. An inquest is held if the coroner determines that it would be beneficial in: addressing community concern about a death, assisting in finding information about the deceased or circumstances around a death and/or drawing attention to a cause of death if such awareness can prevent future deaths. A written report includes the classification of the death and whenever possible, recommendations from the jury on how to prevent a similar death.

Tourism manager optimistic By JACKIE LIEUWEN TOURISM IN the area is down from last year but has increased when compared to the years prior to 2014, says Kermodei Terrace manager Tyler Clarke. “Numbers this year are down a bit from 2014, but that’s not to say tourism as a whole is down... Overall numbers are on a climb,” he said. In conversations with restaurants, hotels and motels, Clarke says they report numbers are healthy. Clarke did note that many tourists come through the region in recreational vehicles and other wheeled accommodation, often on a circle tour. “Terrace is situated at the influx of two different circle tours. [There are] people coming up doing the Great Alaskan Circle Tour and others who are getting their RV in Vancouver, coming up through northern B.C. and taking BC Ferries back down south,” Clarke said. He says many of those tourists stay in Terrace because it is a convenient stop and only an hour and a half from ferry terminals at Prince Rupert. In terms of who is coming through, Clarke says it is mostly people from B.C. and Alberta and the western American states of Alaska, Washington, California, and Oregon. There are also quite a few Europeans. “A lot of the Europeans are coming here for the fishing and the outdoors,” said Clarke. “The cultural and historical aspects are more of a secondary product for them.” Among the tourists stopping at the Kermodei tourism infocentre last week were Tony and Margaret Powsey, a retired couple from Vancouver Island who came to Canada from England in 1969. They took the ferry up from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert and picked up their motorhome, left there by some friends who had previously taken the opposite route. The couple said they had wanted to visit Terrace while still in England decades ago, when they read a book about a Dutch couple who had settled here. “It was very interesting and we always had Terrace in the back of our minds,” said Margaret. The couple is travelling with their granddaughter Iyla. Margaret says this area is lush and green compared to their hometown of Cumberland, where rain has been scarce and water restrictions are in place. “It’s beautiful here,” she said.

Scholarship changing LOCAL SCHOOL district chair Art Erasmus says he is looking forward to a revamped provincial scholarship program that includes honours for trades students. “Trades are going to be important as we move forward. The Passport to Education [program] was not based on that,” he said. The Passport to Education program officially ended with this year’s crop of Grade 12 graduates. Based on marks, it provided $250 to top Grade 10 and 11 students and $500 for the top Grade 12 students, to enable and encourage post secondary studies. The provincial education ministry announced three years ago it was phasing out the program in favour of one aimed at more classes of students. The changes follow a 2012 education ministry review of the passport program which showed “a desire for a broader, more robust program that is tailored to local needs and values achievement beyond grades and exam marks.” Details of the new program, which is expected to apply to students in the senior high school grades as of this year, will be announced later this month, said an education ministry official.

Common sense A

local social worker is taking an innovative approach to reach at-risk teens about the dangers of gambling. Alan Sauve is a problem gambling counsellor with the Terrace and District Community Services Society and is achieving provincial recognition for his traditional aboriginal gaming program. The key to the program’s success, he says, is that it is both engaging and culturally relevant for First Nation youth. “I think it is just common sense, but a colleague said to me ‘Alan, if this was common sense, everyone would be doing it,’” he laughed. His program is now part of the provincial government branch that monitors gaming and is making strides towards reconnecting

By Cecile Favron aboriginal youth with their healthy gaming history – something he says is crucial to the culture moving forward. “It was very hard to find games that survived the residential school system,” Sauve said. “But we are looking at a region that is more than just steeped in culture; it’s redeveloping its culture.” His program uses traditional aboriginal games to show First Nation teenagers and young adults the difference between their community-oriented history and impersonalized online and casino-based gambling. “Although gaming is part of our traditions, problem gambling isn’t. That’s where we have to make the distinction when we are talking about First Nations’ cultural influence,” Sauve said. His aboriginal games youth program has got him invited to

speak twice at the conferences in Prince George and once in Vancouver. The events included social workers from B.C. and Washington State who specialize in dealing with gambling problems. Sauve, who is of Métis descent, says that he didn’t want to develop another program telling aboriginal people how to fix their social problems. “Traditional aboriginal games is a different approach, I looked at ways which we could educate people up here about the differences between traditional games and western gambling,” he said. “And because literacy is an issue, [I had to think about] how to get our message across. It is one thing to talk, but it is another thing to do,” he said of his modelling of the program.

He developed the aboriginal games sessions to keep youth engaged with material that is culturally relevant while teaching them about unhealthy risk-taking, something which he says can help prevent other social problems. An Ontario survey into youth gambling in 2010 determined that 43 percent of youth Grades 7 to 12 had been involved with gambling activity and three percent of those students were already identified as problem gamblers, a statistic which Sauve suspects might be even higher in the north. The survey showed that youth with gambling problems were more likely to experience psychological distress and were 18 times more likely to attempt suicide. Sauve now holds half-day sessions for aboriginal youth to play the traditional games and

Lahal (Slahal) THE NAME may vary depending on where you are in the Pacific Northwest, but the game that is known here as Lahal has stood the test of time and still remains popular at traditional ceremonies. The home team uses their special set of four bones marked with different combinations of dots and lines and 10 counting sticks, five of which display the home team’s clan symbol. The bones are passed underneath blankets on the player’s laps while the team is drumming and chanting to distract their opponents. When the drumming stops, the opposing team takes a guess by using a distinctive hand signal to what combination of bone-patterns that other team is holding under the blankets. As a result, they either lose or collect a counting stick and the next round is given to the winning team. Sauve notes the efforts to form a healthy environment of competition through this game is different from the modern concept of gambling. “Whatever you’ve brought and may have lost as a result of the game, you probably want it back in kind and that is very different from how we understand gambling in the western culture because the money goes from your pocket to the pit bosses or the machines,” he explained. “Western gambling is also very unpersonalized, you and the machine, you and the dealer, so there isn’t the communication and socialization that comes with these traditional games, like singing and drumming – a lot of lightheartedness and laughter. I don’t know if you’ve been in Chances lately, but I don’t hear any lighthearted laughter.”

learn about the risks involved in gambling. “As they play, I ask them questions about what they thought the ancestors were trying to teach us through these games,” he said. Then he compares and contrasts the rounds played at traditional aboriginal ceremonies and now amongst the group of youth with the concept of western gambling. The objective is to help youth understand unhealthy risks and behaviours associated with gambling as opposed to the community-building traditional games. The richness of the community as a result of these games is something that is very important to aboriginal history and their social fabric today so Sauve hopes that his program will help reach aboriginal youth on a variety of levels.

Hubbub THIS RAMBUNCTIOUS game gets its name ‘Hubbub’ from players chanting “hub, hub” to distract the team trying to make their call before their time runs out. Various versions exist across North America, but one version uses five rocks as dice – two have crosses on them and three have stars – and tests the players’ abilities to recognize patterns.

When one team rolls the dice, each combination of symbols corresponds to a number which the “counter” has five seconds to determine. If they are correct, then they take one of the opposing team’s counting sticks and get to roll again. If they are wrong then they forfeit their points and have to give the roll to the opposing team.

Awithlknannai “fighting serpents”

FROM TOP, Terrell Watts tests his skills at Hubbub with the help of counsellor George Verde and Mathiaf Lincoln plays Awithlknannai at a youth session held recently.

RESEMBLING A cross between chess, Chinese checkers, and Risk, the split diamond pattern on the board dictates the way a player can move. Two sets of different coloured rocks are placed running along one side and meeting half way on the centre row (pictured). One space is left in the middle for moving on the first round. Each player takes turns moving one space, unless they are “jumping” an op-

posing player in which case they will move two spots.

Because the object of the game is to remove all the

opponent’s rocks from the board, players attempt to jump their opponents in a way that they won’t jump them right back. “It is a strategy game and [develops] problem solving skills,” said Sauve. He notes that it is different from western gambling because “occasionally there were friendly wagers placed on the game to provide incentives, but it is about skill and not about chance.”

EDITORIAL

Overpass BEING polite means you should never look a gift horse in the mouth, a medieval English phrase suggesting that it would be impolite to then check the teeth of such a horse to determine its age and condition. That’s one way to treat the federal and provincial news they’ll build a $37 million structure spanning CN’s level rail crossing on Hwy16 50km west of Terrace. Still, the reasons given – safety and efficient movement of goods – might raise the eyebrows of citizens who daily battle the Sande Overpass which awkwardly funnels both highway and local traffic over the same CN tracks. And while the province is to spend approximately $9 million this year to, it hopes, improve traffic flow over the Sande Overpass, the question remains of why there and not here where a reasoned argument for the same reasons of safety and efficiency could be made. So consider that the announcement was made July 27, one of a multitude issued just days before the official start of the federal election. Now consider that construction won’t actually start until early 2017 given the lead time for engineering and contract tendering. A quick look at the calendar reveals that the next provincial election is May 2017, providing the provincial Liberal government with its own public relations opportunity. Sure it’s a coincidence but timing, as they say in politics, is everything.

She makes every word count

eeping several tips in mind while writing any personal letter, whether to a relative or a friend, will make sharing them years later more entertaining, informative, even historically useful. These tips were brought home to me recently when my daughter handed over her collection of letters I had written to her between 1988 and 1992 while she resided in Nova Scotia. The letters spanned the early years of her marriage, the birth of her first daughter, and her move back to Terrace with her young family. The letters amused me; several times I burst out laughing at some offhand remark. Yet their contents are far from frivolous. Because our phone calls were sporadic – we were both busy with our lives and bundle rates were still unknown – I included trivial details that today we’d exchange verbally or by email leaving no trace. The mundane mentions remind me of events faded from my recollection and for which I have no other written record. Yet though the letters are

THROUGH BIFOCALS

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI amusing, they would have been more informative had I penned them with a view to making them more understandable to readers decades later. When I write a personal letter, particularly to a relative, usually my goal is to acknowledge their last letter to me, assure them I have noted anything significant they have shared with me, and catch them up-to-date on my situation. To do that I need only refer to family, neighbours, even movies or books by the most minimal of names, sparse references that convey everything at the time but 10 or 25 years later

are as enlightening as if in a foreign language. But who writes to a daughter presuming the letter will survive to become an anecdotal, historical tidbit of family lore? Had I suspected this would be the fate of my letters, I would have used indelible fountain pen ink and a fresh typewriter ribbon; some paragraphs are barely legible now. I would have begun each letter with my address (if I move a lot over years, how will grandchildren know where I resided at the time?), month, day and year (a means to arrange letters in chronological order), and as a bonus, mention the weather (sunny, raining, blizzard). All help to establish a full setting for the message to follow. (Okay. I’m OCD. Writing the persnickety stuff satisfies me.) I would have included last names of people and full names of businesses referenced. At the time of writing, those facts were so mutually well-known, to include them would seem pretentious, wasting extra effort and stationery. But even a neighbour referred to by his first name then, is as good as

anonymous today. These few letters, though, track the rising cost of everyday expenses. One letter has attached three unused 37 cent first class postage stamps. (Compare that to today’s first class rate of 85 cents.) Another letter, speaking of my husband who was working construction in Stewart, notes a bus fare to Terrace was $21. Today’s rate – for a bus that makes only two trips a week – is $105. One characteristic of note to me alone are the gradual changes in my cursive writing. What began as a breezy but legible handwriting has tightened to half the size with the ending of letters “g” and “y” more straight strokes than regulation loops. Researchers claim such infinitesimal changes in cursive writing may indicate onset of Parkinson’s disease. Hmmm. Personal letters written with no expectation of their survival beyond a single reading can nonetheless convey an engaging, lively account of family life to later generations and if collected, can become chapters of a memoir.

ARTIST’S CONCEPTION of the planned Petronas-owned Pacific NorthWest LNG plant on Lelu Island.

LNG plant creates emissions Dear Sir: Consider the question of what the proposed and imminent Petronas LNG exporting terminal means for Prince Rupert. The part of plant that compresses and cools the gas before it is loaded on the container ship will require several gas fired electrical generating

units, each producing in the 100 megawatt range. When a one kilowatt tea kettle operates for one hour and the power is supplied from a gas fired generating plant 1.22 pounds of CO2 is emitted to produce the power used (US Energy Administration tables). One megawatt is 1000

times more – 100 megawatts is 100,000 times greater. Doing the math – a 100 megawatt gas fired plant emits 1.22 pounds X 100,000 or 122,000 pounds of CO2 in one hour. The Petronas terminal will be using 200 megawatts up to 500 megawatts depending on the volume of gas being cooled and compressed. So 5

X 122000 = 610,000 pounds in one hour. In 24 hours that’s 14,640,000 pounds. And that’s more than 14 million pounds of greenhouse gas also containing a percentage of nitrite oxides and sulfur dioxide will be spewed into the air column every day.

A NUMBER of comments were made by readers on a story on www.terracestandard.com about a Vancouver developer’s plans to build a large townhouse on McConnell on the bench (it’s in print on Page A19 this week). Comments particularly centred on the proposed cost of the strata title units. “$400,000??? For a condo??? In Terrace. Good Luck,” wrote Juliana White. “What young family or senior in Terrace would be able to afford a town house for $400,000?” added Linda Lagace. “Pffft. You guys are dreaming. If anyone can afford $400,000 they won’t be buying a townhouse, they will be buying a house and property,” noted Cristy Manke. Andrea Cherchas said “townhouses are generally full of stairs and not practical for the aging population whereas a condo building with an elevator would allow for people to live independently for longer if their mobility declines.” City councillor Stacey Tyers also commented: “The truth is, we will see people moving here from other areas. While we in Terrace are used to a much lower housing cost market, people from elsewhere would not be shocked or surprised to pay $400,000 for a brand new town house.”

The LNG devil is tucked away in the details

ur provincial government is holding up the 25-year liquefied natural gas deal recently approved as an achievement which will serve our long-term economic interests. It is a done deal, but it nonetheless merits closer examination. We need to reflect on it even though we do not have the power to do anything about it. The LNG deal is an example of what elections are all about. Elections give those we elect the capacity to enact laws undreamt-of at the time of the election. The Liquefied Natural Gas Project Agreements Act (LNGPAA) is an unassuming piece of legislation comprised of just 10 sections, including definitions. What should be of most interest to citizens about that legislation is the absence of any reference to employment yet having a commitment to exempt LNG projects from a critical regulation. Are the laws under which businesses are established and

operated in this province not adequate to facilitate a liquefied natural gas project? During the last election liquefied natural gas was promoted as a great job creator for citizens, not as a safe investment opportunity for shareholders. If we are going to provide legal protection from tax and other cost increases for shareholders, why not provide equal protection for citizens? The LNGPAA allows the government to enter into agreements to “provide to a person an indemnity respecting the amount of adGUEST COMMENT ditional tax paid by the person in the event of a tax law change, ANDRE CARREL and the person’s direct costs of complying with a greenhouse gas lars” when debating a benefit for regulatory change” (Sec. 2). The flesh-and-blood persons.

A provision of greater longThe consolidated revenue fund consist of what politicians term consequences than the like to refer to as “taxpayers’ dol- LNGPAA’s 25-year provision is

Sec. 4 which exempts any LNG project from parts of section 72 of the Financial Administration Act. Subsection 3 provides that an indemnity or guarantee given under “any other Act by or on behalf of the government” must comply with all government regulations. Agreements negotiated under the authority of the LNGPAA are exempt from this obligation. Subsection 8 provides that the Minister of Finance must, after the beginning of each fiscal year, present “a report respecting the guarantees and indemnities” approved by the government to the Legislative Assembly. LNPGAA agreements are exempt from this obligation as well. In other words, however much “taxpayers’ dollars” future governments may have to pay to an LNG corporation during the terms of an agreement is none of your (or my) business. Twenty years ago James Laxer, a political science professor at York University, published In Search of a New Left: Canadian

Politics after the Neoconservative Assault. He cautioned readers that “[t]he unprecedented separation of capital from the control of the nation-state is a cornerstone of the harsh new capitalism of our era.” He went on to note that “[a] ll specific questions in our politics – globalization, competitiveness, the deficit, unemployment, taxation and the welfare state – are really debates about equality versus inequality.” The LNGPAA is an example of what Laxer was writing about a generation ago. This LNGPAA is an example of how easily, in the harsh new capitalism of our era, a political promise of “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!” can emerge postelection as a financial guarantee of “taxpayers’ dollars” payable to global corporate interests. We would do well in future elections to reflect on the difference between ideology and philosophy before marking our ballot. Retired public sector administrator Andre Carrel lives in Terrace, B.C.

From Page A7

Emissions created With a southeast wind this enormous volume of pollution will sweep up the channel, over Dodge Cove and into Prince Rupert causing public health to deteriorate. In a northwest or westerly wind, the pollution will push up the Skeena Valley to Terrace and beyond. It will elevate acidity in the land and water, further impacting plant and aquatic life. Is this what we want for Prince Rupert and the surrounding area during this time when the effects of global warming are more and more apparent? Do we really want this when fish stocks and other species are declining at an alarming rate and when global conditions may require local areas to rely on producing their own food? We have to stop this madness. Charlie Bland, Terrace, B.C.

Terrace Standard Wednesday, August 12, 2015

hen I was in Grade 8, a dozen long-stemmed red roses were delivered to my house one afternoon. My mom was thrilled. The envelope said “Charlynn Toews” on it and the card inside had only one word: “secert.” So I had not a secret admirer, but a secert admirer. Some boy, I guess, with very poor grades in spelling. I am very good at not losing things: I have rarely lost my keys, my wallet or my glasses. One day, when the kidling was still a diaper-bum, I could not find my glasses. I normally keep them on my bedside table, so I crawled under the bed and groped around several times over several hours. Finally I gave up and walked myself and the toddler to my optometrist to get a replacement pair. Every once in a while the hubby declares war on dust bunnies and moves all the furniture out of the bedroom. His announcement “I’m going to clean the bedroom floor” means “The whole weekend is shot and we will get sweaty and dirty hauling heavy things.” But the next time this happened, I thought, “Ah ha! The glasses will be found.” I was wrong. A number of years ago, a stranger complimented me on the cowgirl outfit I wore on Halloween at the Northern. Trouble is, I have never worn a cowgirl outfit, nor have I danced the evening away at the Northern, even on Halloween. I was very curious about who my doppelgänger might be, so I started asking red-haired women of about my size and age if they wore a cowgirl outfit on Halloween. The first one said “No” and

W H AT ?

CHARLYNN TOEWS

Unsolved mysteries blushed, the second one gave me a mean look, and the third one got angry, and then I stopped. I was making them extremely uncomfortable, creeping them out, especially as Halloween slipped into the distant past. Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been? I’ve been to London to visit the Queen. Pussycat, pussycat what did you do there? I frightened a mouse that was under her chair. If cats could talk, that is likely how helpful and informative they would be. “Never mind, none of your business,” is what they would say if they were more straightforward. I know the origins of only one of my cats, the first one, Nelson: my Uncle Earl’s barn. The next one appeared from under the shed, wearing a pink flea collar, so someone somewhere loved her.

www.terracestandard.com A11

The next one was in a cardboard box carried by a neighbour boy asking “Is this your cat?” and before I could say “No” she jumped into the house and settled down on the couch. Two appeared on the back porch, one 12 years ago, one seven years ago. Grey males prefer the back porch. No wait, I know the origin of a second black cat, Kip because she was born in our house one fine Easter Thursday. Her mother disappeared a little over a year later when I had the audacity to bring home a noisy baby. Or maybe it was because her daughter was now a Queen, who knows? Kip disappeared one day after hunting eagles. Katie may have been eaten by a lynx, or by what some people call being “relocated,” that is, trapped and dumped out in the bush in the middle of winter. The strange sounds in Terrace, B.C. continue to haunt me. I heard them that morning, and was about to burst into my teenager’s room to say, “If you’re too sick to go to school, you’re too sick to play video games!” when I realized it was not coming from his room, but from outside. We opened the door to try to see what it was, and it was very loud and weird and unknowable. The YouTube videos I watched in the weeks that followed included one taken in a dense forest, another on a large frozen lake, with no scraper blades available to explain it away. Or in the middle of the night with three feet of snow on the ground in Sweden, the New Zealand bush, or inside the Tampa Bay baseball stadium. “What is that eerie sound?” the announcer asks. Nobody knows.

Overpass work expected to start soon Traffic lights will also be installed at the south end to properly control the flow in all directions. Traffic there now wishing to continue both east and west along Keith is now subject to either yellow or red flashing signal lights, often providing a confusing experience for drivers, especially those not from the area. Two new traffic islands will also be installed at the south end and turning lanes widened to make it safer for turning traffic. “We are giving enough room so you can make that turn without crossing into the other lane or clipping the vehicles that are stopped at the light,” said Gunn of the turning improvements. The plan contains only a single crosswalk for pedestrians who want to head south across Keith, so those crossing from the east side of the overpass will have to walk from one island to the other and then south. Keith Ave. will also be nudged out along the southern end of the overpass to provide more space for turning vehicles. The new right-hand turning lane will be a full 3.6 metres wide and have a 1 metre shoulder. Three metres of width will be added to Keith Ave. on the south end of the overpass to make it better for larger vehicles. Not scheduled for this year but planned for next year is a complete resurfacing of the entire overpass. The project was first announced earlier this year by transportation minister Todd Stone as a partial answer to local government officials and others who have for years called for a second overpass to relieve the congestion on the Sande Overpass and to provide a second route over CN’s rail tracks which now run through the center of the city. Stone said then a traffic roundabout on the southern end of the overpass had been considered but then rejected because it wasn’t feasible. The project is the second major one for

this area this year. Finished earlier this summer was a repaving of Hwy16 from Thornhill into Terrace and stopping at the Sande

Overpass before resuming on the other side and continuing west down Hwy16 until Kenney. More pullouts for trucks and new tour-

ist rest stops are also planned. Announced just days before the Aug. 2 federal election call was a combined $37 mil-

lion commitment from both the federal and provincial governments to build an overpass 50km west of Terrace on Hwy16.

That will eliminate the level crossing there now where CN’s tracks cross Hwy16. Two new kilometres of Hwy16 will also be

built to better align the current highway with the overpass. Construction there isn’t scheduled to start until 2017.

TOP, PROVINCIAL aboriginal relations and reconciliation minister John Rustad with Kitsumkalum Chief Councillor Don Roberts and Kitsumkalum negotiator Alex Bolton at the Aug. 4 signing of the Kitsumkalum land claims agreement-inprinciple. The agreement is being held aloft by Roberts. Bottom, from the left, is Neilane Mayhew, an associate deputy minister in the provincial aboriginal relations and reconciliating ministry, Rustad, Kitselas Chief Councillor Joe Bevan and Mel Bevan, a Kitselas negotiator. Members of the Terrace RCMP detachment in their red ceremonial serge were at both signings. And in deference to the federal election and because of that, the official absence of federal elected officials, the Canadian flag was removed from its position during formal proceedings.

Treaty talks to push on That was when both the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum held votes to approve of the agreements in principle and both were passed with the Kitselas agreement, for example, receiving a 67 per cent ‘yes’ vote. The provincial government at the time also gave its approval to the two agreements but federal approval wasn’t officially recognized until last week. The Kitsumkalum Agreement-in-Principle provides for approximately 45,406 hectares of land, north and west of Terrace, and $44.2 million (to be adjusted for inflation), once a final agreement is reached. The Kitselas Agreement-in-Principle provides for 36,158 hectares of land east of Terrace, and $34.7 million (to be adjusted for inflation), once a final agreement is reached. Both First Nations also received specific parcels of provincial Crown land not included with the agreements-in-principle after their ‘yes’ votes. Pending negotiator agreement on final treaty provisions, the documents will once again be subject to a vote among Kitsumkalum and Kitselas voters. Officials were saying that could happen within two years. The two treaty documents must also be approved through legislation by the provincial and federal governments. Representatives from the two First Nations and the provincial government spoke at the signings held here Aug. 4. “We’ve been waiting 20-some years, it’s a long time to wait,” said Kitselas Chief Councillor Joe Bevan. “I mean, having two people decide on the right course is tough enough, but getting three governments all wanting to position themselves, well that’s tough.” The waiting time between the Kitselas vote in favour of the agreement-in-principle in 2013, and the recent federal signing off on the terms, was also drawn out. “This is a huge step, we’ve been waiting twoand-a-half years for them to review the document,” said Bevan. “It’s all up for negotiation. We can’t assume anything is a given,” he added of the next steps in negotiation. To honour the step forward, and to indicate Kitsumkalum’s desire to keep progressing, Kitsumkalum Chief Councillor Don Roberts gave the province and the federal government each a handpainted paddle. “It is to signify that we will paddle together,” said Roberts. The federal government was to have been represented by Conservative Member of Parliament Mark Strahl from the Fraser Valley in his capacity as the parliamentary secretary to the federal aboriginal affairs minister. But the federal election call of Aug. 2, which dissolved Parliament two days before the signing of the agreements, ended Strahl’s official role and his trip here was cancelled. A senior federal negotiator instead represented the federal government. The provincial government was represented at both signings by aboriginal affairs and reconciliation minister John Rustad. He said the agreements were not only important to the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum but important to all northwest residents. And he expressed hope final treaty talks can now move quickly forward. “We have a team in place looking at how we can accelerate the treaty process, and we are expecting the initial component of the work to come out perhaps by mid December, and then we will take that and move forward and see what we can do,” he said. Rustad hoped other B.C. treaty talks can also be accelerated.

Housing sales decline but prices increase

JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

THE LAND on McConnell on the bench is cleared and ready for the construction of a townhouse project.

Developer focussed on large project

By JOSH MASSEY VANCOUVER DEVELOPER SwissReal Group says it will be following through on commitments to build a large townhouse development along the 5100 Block of McConnell on the bench despite a delay of several months. Clearing has been done on the 2.7-acre lot for 35 townhouses right across the street from the newly-developed Wirtl single-family home subdivision. There will be 11 buildings, most of them containing three units, and several of them two units, says SwissReal vice-president Jeremy Towning. “We’re just hammering it out with the contractors. We just need to analyze the numbers. We should be breaking ground sometime between now and very early fall,” said Towning. The company had anticipated an early summer construction start for the units which will be sold for just more than $400,000, marginally above first estimates. “The costs are a little more up north,” said Towning of construction expenses. The build will happen over a period of 14 months, continued Towning, with the first houses coming online periodically after eight

months as they are completed. Because it is a strata development, there will be a monthly fee for a groundskeeper to maintain landscaping and exteriors, as well as a centralized park space. Towning said busy young families and the elderly would benefit from this service which makes the units attractive to a diverse range of buyers, many of whom he says have already signed up for potential purchases. While there might be the sense that many of the major residential and hotel developments hinge on LNG projects being built in the region, Towning says that isn’t the primary driving force behind this Terrace project. In terms of the financial backing for the bench development in Terrace, Towning said “It’s a large fund, a Swiss fund, actually,” though SwissReal owns a large percentage of the project itself. “Usually we joint venture with partners,” said Towning, referring to a $280 million project in downtown Vancouver, for which the company has found an 80 per cent partner. SwissReal also wants to build an eight-storey condominium project in Prince Rupert. It would contain 80 units and include a commercial building for medical

and business offices. That project is now subject to zoning changes on the part of the City of Prince Rupert.

REAL ESTATE sales dropped here for the first half of the year compared to the same period in 2014, according to statistics from the BC Northern Real Estate Board. Through the Multiple Listing Service, 144 properties worth $35.7 million sold from January to June this year, down from 201 properties worth $48.4 million that sold in that time the year before. Half of the 80 single family homes that sold carried prices of less than $286,000. On average, it took 70 days for those homes to sell, which is more than twice as long as the average 31 days it took for a house to sell in January to June 2014. During that same period of 2014, half of the 99 single family homes that sold had a price tag of less than $289,000. So although homes are taking longer to sell and sales overall have dropped, average prices have increased for the first six months of this year. The average selling price of a home among the 80 that did sell was $302,162 compared to the average selling price of $294,651 among the 99 homes sold from the first half of 2014. The 2015 average is also considerably higher than the average price of homes sold in 2013 and 2012. In the first six months of 2013, 104 single family homes sold for an average of $235,000 and in 2012, 93 homes sold for an average of $211,733. Terrace’s average selling price for the first six months of this year was just above the Kitimat average of $301,336 out of the 49 homes sold. It was also substantially higher than Prince Ru-

pert, which had an average price of $241,503 from the 80 homes sold. In addition to single family sales, nine parcels of vacant land, three half-duplexes and nine homes on acreages sold during the first six months of this year. Sheila Love from the Terrace office of Remax Coast Mountains noted that there are not a lot of homes on the market at the lower end of the price range. That may be a partial reflection of more new or newer homes up for sale. “Prices were once in the $200,000-$225,000 range but there is not a lot there now and I don’t think we’re going to see those [prices] again. For a three-bedroom house in the Horseshoe with a full basement, you’re now looking at close to $300,000,” she said. Love added that prices for mobile homes and rowhouses have also increased over the past several years. This year’s housing market is also different from last year because the number of single family homes for sale has increased. “This year we have 52 listings in that [average] price range, at least double from last year,” said Love. “It’s definitely a buyers’ market out there.” Love said the market remains optimistic given the prospect of economic growth in the area. That is also the case in Prince Rupert where Remax Coast Mountains also has an office, she said. John Evans, who had been manager/broker here will be manager/broker of the Prince Rupert office, while Love takes over as manager/ broker here as of Sept. 1.

Notice of Intent

Closure of Old Highway in Kleanza Creek Park

JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

■ Small fry VISITORS AT the volunteer-run Eby Street Fish Hatchery examine a pen of coho fry. Tours of the hatchery were part of the many events held during Riverboat Days 2015.

Fish projects financed THE PACIFIC Salmon Foundation and natural gas pipeline builder TransCanada have provided $5,500 to three fish conservation projects here. The money comes from a larger donation pool with $8,375 going to projects in New Hazelton, $8,000 to projects in Smithers and $12,000 to projects in Burns Lake. Of the local dollars, $1,000 comes from the salmon foundation which receives revenue from the sale of salmon tags and $4,500 from TransCanada. The Terrace Salmonid Enhancement Project is getting a new tank with water alarm at

the Deep Creek Hatchery located just off the Nisga’a Highway north of Terrace while the Lakelse Watershed Stewardship Society is receiving assistance for a water quality monitoring program. There will also be upgrades to the Hatchery Creek Trail located at the beginning of the Gunsite Mountain trailhead. The actual value of the Terrace area projects being undertaken is $20,000 when volunteer time and community donations are taken into account, said Pacific Salmon Foundation representative Stephen Bruyneel. According to Ian Riemenschneider of

the Terrace Salmon Enhancement Project, everything at the hatchery is usually financed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). “The hatchery is 100 per cent DFO funded and they don’t have a ton of money right now to just hand out, so any little bit of help goes a long way,” he said. The Pacific Salmon Foundation’s Community Salmon Program supports habitat stewardship, Pacific salmon enhancement and watershed education with money primarily from sales of the federal government’s Salmon Conservation Stamp. TransCanada is in

line to build two natural gas pipelines, one of 670 kilometres from northeastern B.C. to the Shell-majority owned planned LNG Canada liquefied natural gas project at Kitimat and the other of 900 kilometres in length to the planned Pacific NorthWest LNG plant on Lelu Island near Port Edward which is majority owned by Petronas. The money for local fishery projects is not reclamation work to make up for impacts the pipelines may have on fish habitat but rather an effort by the company to support the health of local fisheries, says TransCanada official Davis Sheremata.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to Section 60(2) of the Transportation Act, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has received an application to permanently close a portion of old highway, Right of Way Plan 1558, within the Part Remainder of District Lot 6639, District Lot 5661, Part Remainder District Lot 1914, and Part Remainder District Lot 986, Range 5, Coast District, (excluding the bed of Kleanza Creek). All of this proposed road closure is within Kleanza Creek Park and will be consolidated with Kleanza Creek Park and will fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Environment. The right of way proposed for closure is a portion of the old highway that is used as a park access road within DL 986 and overgrown and unused within DLs 6639, 5661, 1914. A plan showing the proposed road closure may be viewed at the Ministry’s Skeena District office at 4825 Keith Avenue, Terrace, B.C., V8G 1K7 during the office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (closed between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m). Any person(s) wanting to provide comments of support or objection to this application for road closure should indicate their concerns in writing to the aforementioned address or via e-mail to Rena.Gibson@gov.bc.ca no later than September 11, 2015.

The car has only been driven 78,000 miles since new. The restoration took 10 years to complete and is faithful to the original car, with a complete frame off restoration which included rebuilding the drivetrain, body and interior.

Margaret Patricia Hislop May 24, 1936 - July 30, 2015

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Patricia Hislop (nee: Spencer). She was surrounded by her loving family in her final days and we were blessed to be by her side. She is survived by her devoted husband of 57 years, Ian Merle Hislop, her daughters, Leslie Diemert & Sandra Hislop and her grandchildren, Rachel Hislop-Hook and Jenelle & Joel Diemert. Patricia was born in Kelowna in 1936 and lived there until she married Merle in 1958. They then lived in various places in B.C. and had a wonderful love affair that lasted the rest of her life. Her family was the most important thing to her and she dedicated her life to making a wonderful home and caring for us. She especially enjoyed her 3 grandchildren and was the most amazing Grandma! She has left many special memories in our hearts and is dearly missed. Merle is relocating to Kelowna where there will be a Celebration of Life at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Island Funeral Services, Campbell River, B.C., 250-287-3366.

Riverboat Days sports winners

By JOSH MASSEY A COMMON phrase a skier or snowboarder might hear up at Shames Mountain goes something like this: “Shames gets a ton more snow than Hudson Bay Mountain [in Smithers].” And when skiing or snowboarding at Hudson Bay Mountain, it would come as no surprise to hear someone say something like “Shames, lot’s of snow, but it’s wet, gross snow.” According to Shames Mountain Co-Op chair Meredith Skimson, it’s fun to have rival ski areas but the respective management teams don’t regard each other as competitors. “I think there is a perception that we have been competitors. But I think when we get together with management and talk about it, we don’t really feel like competitors,” she said. Proof of this, she said, is an add-on pass this year that will give skiers access to both mountains for an extra fee. “We really believe in the northwest skiing, and we think that people from Smithers will come ski here more if they have a pass and likewise,” said Skimson. “It’s great when the ski communities get together. We have super fun friends in Smithers, and we have super fun friends here. Let’s all just ski together.” In the last two years, the two hills have connected when ski magazines come north for features, Skimson said.

ATHLETES AND teams from around the region competed in a variety of events and sports during Riverboat Days 2015, adding to the mix of activities. Rain on the Sunday and Monday of the August long weekend may have dampened the playing areas but not the spirits of competitors.

Sports Scope AUGUST 22 - 23 there is a Mr. & Mrs. Golf Tournament at Skeena Valley Golf and Country Club. AUGUST 17 - 19 is the UNBC Timberwolves Basketball Camp at Caledonia Secondary. The camp is for anyone Grades 2 to 12 who is interested in improving their individual and team skills and having fun. Registration required.

he Skeena was grey the other day. The Zymoetz was a colour reminiscent of something between cement and pea soup. I continued to drive east on Highway 16. The water of Kleanza Creek was clean, so I took the turnoff to the campsite, knowing that it was too early for pink salmon and too early for trout, but it would be nice to stand in clear water and wave a bamboo stick. I hadn’t fished Ron Grantham’s 8 foot, 9 inch, 7 weight for a number of years now. On a whim, I pulled it out of its tube and fastened the St. John style reel built by the former House of Hardy foreman and master craftsman, Walter Dingley, almost a century ago, to its reel seat. The rod’s original seat wouldn’t have accommodated the old reel but I’d previously broken three inches from the rod’s tip and had it repaired and renovated by Bob Clay so that it could accept a larger reel. The Dingley fit snugly, its weight balancing the rod perfectly. I threaded the line and leader through the guides then fastened a silver bodied Muddler Minnow to the tippet, not overly confident of finding a fish, but confident that if, on the off chance there was one, a Muddler had a good chance to provoke some interest from it. The trail was wet and cool after the morning rain. Out of the forest floor poked some orange lobster mushrooms and oth-

fished with greater care, probing the places deep or fast enough to hide fish. It was an hour before I gave up without so much as a bite where the clear water of Kleanza Creek dissipated and was lost in the milky water of the Skeena. Should I back track and cover water already fished? Tired ankles persuaded me otherwise. I whistled the dog back from the pursuit of a scent trail that had taken her a hundred metres downstream, and began the trip back. When I reached the Bridge Pool, I sat down on the bank, pulled my polarized sun glasses over my eyes, and looked into the water. My vantage was ideal. I was easily two metres above the water and the water was in shade. There was a large dark rock a few feet out from shore in the deepest part of the pool. I looked beside it for a fish like the one I’d seen earlier. The rock quivered, climbed the water column and made a wide circle, then returned to the spot where I’d first seen it. The circuit of the large salmon disturbed another large fish that was smaller than the first. After the fish had settled down, I examined them more closely. They were chinook, a male and a female. As I watched, the female began excavating her nest, turning on her side as she did so. The male hovered a metre below her, waiting for the opportunity to glide upstream and fertilize the newly laid eggs. Continued next week….

Terrace Search and Rescue assists in search for youth TERRACE SEARCH and Rescue’s water team used its specialized sonar in the recovery of the body of a missing person near Burns Lake at the end of July. On July 30, team members travelled south of Burns Lake to Tchesinkut Lake to assist in the search for Bryce Gray, 17, a young person who enjoyed the outdoors, and who was last seen at about 1 p.m. July 28. Gray’s boots and boat were found on the shore of Tchesinkut Lake in the early morning hours of July 29. Terrace Water Rescue, along with Houston, Bulkley Valley and Prince George SAR Teams, RCMP Air Services, community volunteers and a canine unit conducted an extensive search of the lake and surrounding area. On the first day of the search, 117 people showed up to assist. The Terrace team used a Kongsberg Mesotech MS 1000 Sonar to search the lake bottom for any sign of Gray. The sonar is the only type of scanning sonar in this area and has often been requested for use in other regions of the north. The team used Gray’s boat, boots and wind direction as clues to conduct the search. Witnesses also placed Gray on a particular area of the lake during the time of his disappearance. All of these clues pointed to a particular section of the lake where the Terrace team focused its search efforts. Team members searched from the shoreline to a depth of 160 feet, the deepest they can search with their sonar – the maximum mean depth of the lake is 485 feet. On the first day, the team was briefed with the management team and RCMP and then searched with the boat’s Humminbird Sonar. The second day saw approximately 80 drops of the Kongsberg Sonar search to its maximum depth.

“Most of the day was calm but the weather turned nasty towards the afternoon, but we kept going!” said Terrace Search and Rescue president Dwayne Sheppard. “We were the first ones on the water at 7 a.m. and the last one off at 7 p.m.” The third day increased the number of drops to 90-100 with the sonar, sometimes researching some of the area from the previous day. “Once again we were the first ones on the water at 645 a.m. and the last ones off,” said Sheppard. The team focused on the clues and at approximately 3 p.m., the team located something in approximately 50 feet of water. A drop camera was then used to confirm they had found Gray. An RCMP dive team recovered his body August 2. “Team work, perseverance, paying attention to detail are just a few of the proud words used to describe this search effort,” said Sheppard. “Because of this team’s effort, we have been able to help a family in their grieving process and bring some closure.” The Terrace Search and Rescue has used its sonar equipment before throughout the region. Searches are limited in capability because of the equipment and the team is raising money for new equipment which can search

Tourist’s touring bike stolen TERRACE RCMP responded to approximately 74 calls for service from August 4th, 8 a.m. till August 6th, 8 a.m. In one of those calls, an out-of-country traveler had his Teledine bike stolen from the Copper River Bridge area on Hwy 16 east on Aug. 1. It has an unpainted Titanium frame, an REI seat with a crack in the seat post, eight speeds, and road bike handle bars. The bike was locked to a tree with a cable lock.
