Overpass collision solution sought By JOSH MASSEY THE TRANSPORTATION ministry is putting up a yield sign on an approach to the Sande Overpass following six collisions and reports of other incidents since new traffic control signals went into operation there late last November. The sign will be installed for vehicles approaching the intersection on the south end of the overpass from the west along Keith Ave.
Previously there was a stop sign where Keith Ave. meets the intersection for all the traffic coming from the west, which alerted drivers that they could not turn left onto the overpass until through traffic approaching from the east on Keith passed through. The installation of traffic control lights is intended to improve traffic flow for vehicles. But now drivers approaching the overpass from the west along
Keith and intending to turn left onto the overpass are not yielding to traffic flow from the east, says Terrace RCMP Constable Angela Rabut. “Drivers turning left from Keith onto the Sande Overpass need to properly assess the flow of westbound traffic,” said Rabut. “Yield the right of way to those travelling straight through the intersection on a green light. “Ensure all of your attention is
directed towards driving, which is actually a very complicated task with a lot of factors to consider, especially at intersections,” said Rabut. The reported accidents have caused minor injuries and damages of more than $1,000, she added. Pronto Towing driver Tim Flemming has called the new traffic control light system a design flaw, saying there have been more accidents at the intersection than at
any other intersection in the city. “Most of the accidents have happened exactly the same way,” he said. “The mechanics of the accident all seem to be the same. Somebody is T-boning somebody who is turning trying to get onto the overpass. “They need to put a delayed turn signal in coming from the west for eastbound traffic so there is a delayed turn,” Flemming suggested.

Pool money given THE 10 cents a litre that local residents now pay in federal taxes when filling up at the pumps is being returned in the form of $4.3 million grant for major improvements at the city’s aquatic centre. The $4.3 million will go toward constructing a new workout room on the northwest corner, as well as installing a family change room, adding wheelchair accessibility to the pools, and special UV filter system to reduce reliance on chemicals in the water, which will also be made level with the pool deck. “It’s fabulous news,” said mayor Carol Leclerc by phone from her vacation location in Hawaii. “The biggest score we have ever had.” “There were only 57 projects across [B.C.], and we got one,” she added. The current pool was nearing the end of its life, and Leclerc says the upgrades will extend its life by another 30 to 40 years. The city already has basic upgrade designs in hand that were commissioned in 2012 to help guide the project.

City upgrades its fluoride system THE CITY is spending $10,000 to upgrade its fluoridation system so that city staff will receive an alarm via their cellphones should too much of the substance be injected into the city’s water supply. The upgrade should be finished in a week or so, ending a period of several months when when the substance has been only sporadically placed in the water supply. “Based on flow it tells the dosing pump how much to pump into the system,” said city works manager Robert Hoekstra of the new computerized system. “We have the ability to know [immediately] when to stop the pump, before we didn’t have that ability, we took representative samples around town.” He says he has never seen an situation where too much fluoride has been pumped into the water supply and that a failure of the new computer system would be an “extremely rare” occurrence. Up until now, the city could not do real time analysis of fluoride and relied on manual testing done daily around town which is still a part of the program, said Hoekstra. Chlorine is also added by a similar analyzer to the water supply. News of the new fluoride pumping system comes at a time when the city has been asked to stop the practice which is meant to reduce or prevent tooth decay. Terrace is only one of four municipalities in British Columbia to still put the chemical in the water supply. Appearing before city council Feb. 9, local anti-fluoride campaigner Barry Prince presented a petition containing more than 400 signatures of Terrace and Thornhill residents. This was his third attempt to convince council that the city should join the tide of municipalities around Canada who are stopping their fluorination programs. There was little debate, though councillors asked him about the petition process.
James Cordeiro made the motion to receive the petition for information which was seconded by councillor Brian Downie. Deputy mayor Lynne Christiansen was about to move on in what was a busy agenda, when councillor Michael Prevost interjected: “I think it would be beneficial for council to request [the] Northern Health [Autrhority] do a presentation just to provide a leveled approach in terms of best practice, current studies, because for us to make a decision moving forward we need to have some balanced information.” A motion to do so was carried. Prince was accompanied by local naturopath Daniel Yee who said stopping fluorinating was a “no brainer.” “I was actually quite shocked and really surprised that Terrace is still fluorinating their water,” Yee said during his presentation. He pointed out that children exposed to industrial levels of fluoride in China, according to a study in the journal Lancet, showed an 8-10 point I.Q. loss which is the difference between average and below average intelligence. He said forcing fluoride through the water supply, even in small amounts, is contrary to notions of consent enshrined in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Prince concluded by saying he would challenge the city in court if no referendum is held, or if fluoride is not removed from Terrace water. “This practice is going to stop one way or another, or we will be back again,” he told council. City officials counted the number of names on the petition presented by Prince and found that the total was 260 Terrace residents, 109 from the regional district and 38 of unknown residency, for a total of 422. The city’s fluoride program costs an average of $30,000 per year. The fluorosilicic acid itself is purchased in barrels from a supplier called Cleartech Industries Inc. at an annual cost of approximately $20,000, according to the city. JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

First Nations back gov’t LNG review
TWO LOCAL First Nations say they are tentatively onboard with conclusions of a federal environmental review of the Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal planned for Lelu Island which concluded that salmon would not be affected by the footprint of the $11-billion liquefaction facility at the mouth of the Skeena River. “We have gone to great lengths to address environmental concerns and have ensured that an extraordinary amount of scientific work has taken place,”
said Kitsumkalum chief Don Roberts in a press release following last week’s release of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) review. “As we review CEAA’s findings and have the assurance that the project will not impact the Skeena fishery, it enables us to consider social and economic benefits for our members, like training for our younger generation,” said Roberts. Kitselas chief councillor Joe Bevan also endorsed the finds of
the federal agency. “All of our leaders and people have been weighing the benefits against the potential impacts through multiple public meetings. We are encouraged that the proponent has undertaken significant additional work to address concerns and that the independent scientists at CEAA have validated this work.” Their comments were contained within a release from the Tsimshian Environmental Stewardship Authority made up of five Tsim-
A GROUP of Russian scientists and conservationists are on a speaking tour this week, which included a stop in Terrace last night, Feb. 16, about the dangers that LNG projects pose to local salmon. One of them, conservationist Dmitry V. Lisitsyn, says the Sakhalin LNG project, which was built and owned by Shell and Gazprom near his hometown on the east coast of Russia, says the end results of the development were much different than promised in the environmental plan, causing the collapse of pink salmon and also of other sea life after it opened in 2009. The group was brought over by Terrace-based SkeenaWild Conservation Trust, and conservationist Lisitsyn has a similar position with Sakhalin Environment Watch as does SkeenaWild executive director Greg Knox in Terrace. He says that by comparison, the Pacific NorthWest LNG project planned for Lelu Island near Prince Rupert is about twice the size of the Sakhalin one. He also said Sakhalin has small rivers near the plant, as opposed to one big one like here. “There was a very big difference between what they predicted, and what occurred,” he said of when the Sakhalin project was okayed in the planning phases by the Russian government. Based on similarities between the two projects and their locations, Lisitsyn believes the region should expect a large impact on the salmon runs from hav-
ing a plant built in the estuary at the mouth of the Skeena River. “I don’t have a problem with LNG technology,” he said. “What I have a problem with is putting the plants in locations like these.” In the ocean itself, it is the dredging that must be done, noise and light pollution from flare stacks that affects marine life, he said. The pipelines feeding gas plants cause silt
to collect in the areas where the salmon lay their eggs, he said. “I am surprised there isn’t more concern in your area about the pipelines,” said Lisitsyn. He said Shell and Gazprom proceeded with construction of Sakhalin LNG without heeding many of the conditions laid down by Russian environmental authorities. He said the shorten-
Joe Bevan shian first nations and formed to review the Pacific NorthWest LNG
project. The five are among seven Tsimshian first nations having traditional claims to the area for fish and other marine harvesting around Lelu Island. One of the nations that is part of this authority, the Gitga’at First Nation, did not participate in the endorsement of the federal environmental review. The Kitselas have already signed an impact management benefits agreement for the project and Kitsumkalum is also in negotiations.
The federal review was delayed while Pacific NorthWest LNG provided the government with more detailed information about how the development, including a kilometre long trellis into Chatham Sound, would affect the ocean floor where a sensitive ecosystem provides rearing grounds for juvenile salmon. Petronas, the Malaysian state-owned company wanting to build the facility changed its design to elongate the pier going out into the
challenges against the company for dumping dredged material in the bay. He said the difference between the rich and poor is greater now after the oil and gas boom on his island, and his environmental group
can’t afford to rent a space large enough for its purposes. During construction, about 60-70 per cent of the work force were foreign workers, he added, and now, during operations, fewer than 100 are employed.
Russians sound salmon alarm ing of the jetty design at a late stage in planning meant more dredging, followed by court

LAST MINUTE TAX-SAVING, INCOME-BUILDING RRSP TIPS The deadline for making your 2015 contribution to investments held in your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is only a few days away - but you can still enhance your retirement nest egg and save on taxes when you take advantage of these last-minute RRSP tips. RRSP deadline basics • February 29, 2016, at 11:59 p.m. is the deadline for contributing to investments in your RRSP for the 2015 tax year. • The maximum contribution room that can be created for 2015 is $24,930, depending on your earned income in 2014 (and minus your pension adjustment if applicable). • You’ll find your personal maximum allowable contribution on your most recent notice of assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (on line (A) of the RRSP Deduction Limit Statement). • You can carry forward unused contribution room from prior years. • You can fill your unused contribution room in a single year or over a number of years until the end of the year in which you reach age 71(or the end of the year your spouse/common-law partner turns 71 if he or she is younger). RRSP tips that defer taxes, save on taxes and build income • Maximizing your RRSP contribution this year (and every year) is often the best strategy for
bay to try to avoid this area. The review said there would be significant impacts on the porpoise population in the area, as well as a concerning increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Local conservation groups were unanimous in disagreeing with the claim that salmon would not be affected, basing their statements off other scientific studies that have been done in the area. The project is being opposed by the elected and hereditary leadership of another Tsimshian first nation, the Lax Kw’alaams, which have a traditional claim to Lelu Island itself and to the surrounding marine waters. With the CEAA review now released, a 30-day public comment period of the review is now underway. That ends March 11.
tax savings and maximizing potential long-term growth. • Catch up on your unused contribution room from previous years as quickly as possible for additional savings and enhanced long-term growth. • An RRSP loan can help you maximize this year’s contribution and catch up on past contribution room. The money you borrow will generate a tax break and add to your tax deferred RRSP growth potential. But ONLY when you can get an RRSP loan at a low interest rate and pay it back quickly. Use your extra tax savings to pay off the loan. • If your spouse’s income will be lower than yours over the next few years or in retirement, splitting income by way of a spousal RRSP can generate retirement income that is subject to less tax. The plan is in your spouse’s name but you contribute to it and receive the tax deduction. Your total contributions can’t exceed your personal yearly contribution room but your spouse’s limit is unaffected by your contribution. These RRSP tips and a few other RRSP strategies will save taxes and help you retire with more. But to adequately fund the retirement of your dreams, you should also build a well balanced non-registered investment portfolio. For the financial planning strategies that work best for you, talk to your professional advisor.

EDITORIAL Make a mark AS SCHOOLS analyze low grad rates and seek to improve education, perhaps it is worth clarifying the purpose of schools. The modernday assumption is that school is responsible for preparing students for all the challenges of life, but is that realistic? Don’t parents and families have primary responsibility to prepare children for life? That is not to say that schools don’t have a very important role. Schools teach children and youth basic skills such as reading, writing and math. Students learn problem solving, develop creativity, and develop social skills through interactions with peers and teachers. But research shows that the primary influence that affects and shapes young people are their parents and family life. Children learn behaviour patterns at home, which then translate into conduct at school and in the world at large. Schools report that one of their biggest challenges is having students engage and apply themselves to their studies. This is something only individual students can change, but encouragement at home that hard work can bring rewards and satisfaction should not be discounted. The biggest influence parents can have on their children is through example. That is, children need to see parents working hard in their jobs and at home. Despite mistakes and challenges that come with parenting, children often see their parents’ motives and are impacted by integrity. Jackie Lieuwen

Fake freckles? What’s next?
omen of all ages spend lavishly on each new beauty enhancement trotted out from hair dyes to wigs to contact lenses to alter eye colour and major plastic surgery. Women shave or wax every hair from their bodies then glue extensions to their eyelashes, or one hair at a time directly on to their skin where once they grew eyebrows. But last week Ghomeshi’s lawyer asked a question I expect had never been asked in court before. The lawyer asked the complainant who alleged Ghomeshi had yanked her hair hard, “At the time of the alleged assault, did you have hair extensions?” A valid question, given that today so much of a woman can be fake. Oldtimers recall this song about an elderly man’s wedding night: We got married last Friday, my girl was right there beside me, Our friends were all gone, We were alone side by side. We were so happily wed when, She got ready for bed

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI then Her teeth and her hair, She placed in a chair side by side. One glass eye so tiny, One hearing aid so small Then she took one leg off And placed on a chair by the wall. I stood there broken hearted, Most of my girl had departed I slept on the chair. There was more of her there side by side. We’ve become accustomed to dyed hair, eye shadow, wigs worn even by those untreated for cancer. The newest fad is fake freckles. For $28 you can order on-
line a faux freckle kit, Freck Yourself. The kit comes with 72 self-adhesive stencils and a rollerball formula similar to sunless tanner and allows users to apply several layers of faded freckles on to the skin. The natural pattern doesn’t smudge and lasts two days. Applied every morning, though, the pattern can last from four to six weeks. Natural redheads are noted for freckles. I’ve always considered freckles attractive. But comments on the Freck Yourself article report red hair and freckles leading to years of painful bullying. One 30-year-old American studying film-making produced a Netflix documentary titled “Being Ginger” about his tribulations growing up a redhead. A classroom teacher delighted in threatening to hang the filmmaker, when he was 7, upside down like a pinata for the other kids to beat. Interviewed by the filmmaker the teacher showed no empathy for the misery he had caused the boy. When he was 12 and 13 he was so ostracized from the school cafeteria by one girl who sat at a table with his two best friends his principal
S TANDARD
armed him with a laminated permission slip to eat lunch alone sitting on the floor near the gym. Any and all attention paid to him as a youngster came because of his red hair. Relatives fawned over him. Visitors felt free to stroke his hair much as strangers pat a pregnant woman’s belly. Being the centre of attention pained him so much that as an adult observing little kids cringe as they are singled out by relatives or strangers brings him to tears; he knows how exposed and ridiculed the tots no doubt feel. As part of his documentary he attended an annual Redhead Fest in Breda, Netherlands where in 2013 a record 5,000 redheads from 80 countries gathered for a week of music and storyswapping. For once he felt accepted, an average person drawing no special attention. And though he had never before felt any affinity to another ginger, he met a young woman from Boston. They shared a mutual attraction. If his school yard bullying is typical for redheads, why would fake freckles be so trendy?

Poverty costs far too much An open letter to:
Hon. Christy Clark, Premier of BC, Victoria, BC Dear Premier: I am writing to you as a professional social worker because I continue to be very
I
concerned about the effects of poverty on British Columbians. I work with people who are suffering these effects every day and I am highly aware of the personal and social costs of poverty. I am additionally concerned because we need
not pay these costs in British Columbia. British Columbia can afford to bring every citizen up to the poverty line, with the amount of income at which one can pay for the basic necessities of life. Adequate income will significantly reduce or elimi-
nate many poverty-generated costs we as a society are now paying in terms of additional social services, additional educational and criminal justice costs and especially additional health costs.

Dear Sir: We are warned repeatedly not to send cash money in the mail. What is a person to do? Here are two examples of what not to do. My wife and several of her sisters were to travel to London, England to attend the wedding of their niece. Not wishing her to carry an excess amount of cash I purchased a bank money order from the TD Bank in British pounds and paid the resulting exchange rate and fees. Attempting to cash this money order at the bank of her sister in London my wife was informed to take it to the TD Bank. Not knowing where that was or how to get to it she borrowed money from her sister instead. On her return to Terrace she attended at the TD bank here (where she had her accounts) she was informed that a transfer fee would apply to bring British pounds from Vancouver, as her sister wanted to be repaid in that currency. She declined and brought it to my attention, wherein I ended up in talking to the branch manager with the result that the money order could be cashed at par at a TD Bank that had British pounds on hand, such as the TD’s main tower branch in Vancouver. We then found out that the money order given by me to the bride-to-be was also not cash-able. It was in US$ as the honeymoon was in Hawaii. The newly married couple returned to Vancouver but were not able to cash it at the TD branch in Vancouver where her aunt and brother have accounts. That bank told her to deposit it in her own bank in London (where she would have to pay conversion fees) or give it to me to cash which would then once again present the situation of sending cash in the mail. I then had a second discussion with the local bank manager. The manager was not able to inform me of a safe way that money could be sent abroad.

Build up your climate change bank account
magine the following scenario: you’re seated in a restaurant in Paris contemplating the innumerable issues and sticking points in the recent climate negotiations. The negotiations you’re considering address an amorphous, apparently slow moving, vague threat seemingly far off in the future and probably somewhere else. Still, the scientific method that has transformed human existence for the better over the past two centuries stresses how serious the issue is, and you’ve been doing your best to comprehend it. Suddenly, a terrorist (who cares what political or religious motivation) enters and threatens the restaurant with his AK-47. What do you do? Dive for cover, naturally. True, if we don’t deal with climate change, your grandchildren likely won’t have much of a future. But, if you don’t survive the imminent bullet spray, you won’t have any grandchildren. Climate be hanged! Duck! Everyday life is practically
composed of continuous local ‘emergencies’ like an insurance premium coming up, Grandma going senile, Johnny flunking math. The immediate future constantly demands our attention. Some people make their livings focusing on the long term, though. Financial planners convince RRSP contributors to deposit monthly contributions into one or another ‘pay yourself first’ (and the planner, of course). High carbon life is undermining these long-term prospects, however, regardless of the size of our tax-free savings accounts. Perhaps we need some professional climate planners to make cold calls or go house-to-house selling climate change behavioral adjustment plans. But it would be a hard sell, and analogies can only go so far. Markets in anything tend to function as population aggregators of the two great human emotions: fear and greed. Mutual fund salespeople are particularly good at addressing both of these emotions. Even climate activists
GUEST COMMENT
AL LEHMANN plan cap-and-trade markets to appeal to the same motives. It’s easy to conjure fearful images. We see systematized poverty creating misery in Canadian communities and we are bombarded by sanitized news reports of foreign refugees victimized by war, disease, and drought. We try to act, and do our best not to look away. It’s also easy to present appeal-
ing visions modeled by wealthy celebrities, well off grandparents visiting with gifts for the kiddies, and ‘freedom 55’ beneficiaries kicking back on a sailboat. The message is clear: invest and save, supposedly guaranteeing a comfortable future or suffer in penurious misery in your old age. Convincing individuals to take action on the climate issue is far more difficult. I might walk everywhere, install solar panels, avoid international travel (flying once to Europe is roughly the CO2 pollution equivalent of driving for a year). But unless millions of others do likewise, aside from some ‘feel good’ moral smugness for me, Richmond and Florida may still end up under water, California agriculture may still be destroyed by drought, and the Inuit may still have to give up hunting seals on sea ice. Climate challenge requires seeing things in a way that is quite alien to our biological conditioning, which focuses on the here and now, rather than on the everywhere and some time in the
future. But green technologies are continuing to build an efficiency edge that will enhance both our physical health and our financial well-being, a potentially powerful motive for adopting them. Better insulated homes and buildings not only save expensive and dirty fuels, but are quieter and more comfortable. And walking and cycling (when and where feasible), and rapid transit and speed trains are generally less stressful and more healthful than paying excessive sums for private vehicles, insurance, air pollution, traffic congestion, street maintenance, and fuel. We ought to be able to sell the fears of Hurricane Sandy, the Calgary floods, and increasingly frequent wildfires, just as we ought to be able to sell the appeals of comfortable, efficient, non-polluting shelter and transportation. Paying ourselves first through sensible climate action becomes more appealing by the day. Retired English teacher Al Lehmann lives in Terrace, B.C.

The Mail Bag From A7
Poverty causes ill health In a recent speech to the C.D. Howe Institute, Michael McCain, Maple Leaf Foods CEO, quoting a recent study by the Canadian Medical Association, noted that food insecurity increased the cost of health care by up to 121 per cent. Health authorities report that the average monthly cost of nutritious food for a family of four in B.C. is $914. A family of four on basic social assistance would receive $401 exclusive of shelter allowance. Even the addition of the $358 Family Bonus only brings that amount to $759. This makes everyone on social assistance food insecure and prone to a long list of expensive health effects including lowweight babies, increases in asthma, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic health conditions. Adequate food is basic health prevention. Working British Columbians being paid the present minimum wage are also operating under similar financial and nutritional stresses. Because of poverty, our province pays $1.2 billion a year in higher health costs. Similarly, we are paying $745 million in policing and criminal justice costs for poverty-related crime. Conservative estimates suggest that we are paying several billion dollars in poverty-related services and lost productivity. Ensuring that all citizens receive income at
the poverty line would cost half of that. I am writing to ask your government to raise social assistance to the poverty line so that British Columbians requiring such assistance do not suffer the preventable effects of policy-created poverty. Similarly, increasing the provincial minimum wage so that full-time work produces an income at or above the poverty line will mitigate the negative effects of poverty for working British Columbians. B.C. public policy should not create and maintain poverty and stress that make it almost impossible for people to succeed. Public policy should create conditions for well-being that allow people to be more resilient and to improve their life situation. Raising social assistance rates and the minimum wage to the poverty line will provide a foundation upon which people can build successful lives. Thank you for your attention to these matters in the coming year. I look forward to hearing from you as you remediate these pressing issues of public policy. Sincerely, Robert Hart Advocacy Committee Northwest Branch BC Association of Social Workers

Cash
My wife and her niece were able to go to the TD Tower branch in Vancouver and following discussions with personnel there, including a manager the results were: The money order in British pounds which could not be cashed in London was redeemed in Canadian dollars at current exchange rate then converted back into British pounds at current exchange rate. The money order in US dollars which the niece was not able to cash in Hawaii was converted to Canadian dollars and paid to her in cash, again at the prevailing exchange rate. This rate was to the bank’s advantage as the Canadian dollar value had dropped since the money order was purchased. The TD bank person stated that as my wife was a long time customer she would discount the exchange fees, which amounted in a 31.1 per cent decrease. The moral of the story is bank money orders are not a good medium for money transfer internationally unless one is prepared to deposit them in their own bank for collection. Ron Gowe, Terrace, B.C.

City hosts transport plan open house RESIDENTS, CITY staff and planning consultants mingled Feb. 10 at an open house, part of the $75,000 Transportation Master Plan commission by the city. Those visiting the city hall event were given red and green stamps and asked to place them on a large map laid on the table. Green stamps could be placed on positive features of Terrace, while the red stamps were stuck to problem spots. These suggestions from the public are being used to guide the plan being put together by McElhenney Consulting over the next four months. The company’s spokesperson for the project, Prince Georgebased senior transportation engineer Glenn Stanker, said that the secret to the success of thriving cities is having a vision and plan. “Vision is important, and the number one thing is having a
plan. When you apply for a grant, they will ask to see a plan that supports the project,” he said. So what will Terrace’s transportation priorities be? This is what Stanker and his team, along with the city, are working on. Aside from the public consultation, there is also an online survey to gather what residents want in terms of improving transportation for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. There are many categories in the city project being looked at, and prioritized. These include the tops and bottoms of Lanfear and Kalum hills, as well as the widths and safety features. Options discussed at a committee of the whole meeting also held yesterday included widening the street and/or sidewalks on these hills, and possibly closing Pheasant St. to thru-traffic at the
! SOLD
bottom of Kalum in order to improve pedestrian flow. Stanker said his team will look at options to making the hills safer in the short term, as they are steep, narrow, windy and much used by all sorts of commuters who tend to “compete” for room. Intersections are also being studied and rail crossings. Stanker said that Lakelse and Sparks is an example of a challenging intersection. So is Eby and Lakelse which he said “may not be intuitive to drivers”. Also, the intersection of Thomas, McConnell, Cooper around school hours. He said improvements will be looked at for these. The next phase is data collection followed by detailed analysis in April, then May will see improvement options, then in June the review will be submitted, followed by a final report.

Ink to reconnect with ancestrial ties Reflections from the first Nisga’a and Tlingit tattoo tour
By NAKKITA TRIMBLE OUR MATERNAL lineage is deeper than skin deep and goes back tens of thousands of years. The spiritual ancient art of “tattooing” goes back just as far. This practice is one of the oldest professions Indigenous people have. It goes back before colonization. We know it can be an exhausting conversation, but this is meant to strengthen your knowledge on Indigenous “Tattooing”. When colonization began and Christianity spread, so did the belief that “tattooing” was a shameful, sinful practice. For the Nisga’a this happened in the 1800s. Today “tattooing” is still discouraged, but that’s changing within First Nations communities. The Nisga’a and Tlingit ancestral ties go back to arranged marriages between our nations. These nations learned from one another. Nakkita (Nisga’a/Tlingit) and Nahaan (Tlingit) toured to six different communities sharing with people from all na-
tions about their approach to reviving cultural tattooing. Six communities were toured, including Prince Rupert, Terrace, as well as the entire Nisga’a Nation. The two “tattoo” artists learned from one another strengthening the re-connection between the nations. Nakkita fell into tattoo apprenticeship in 2012 based on a reoccurring dream where she tanned a bear hide, stretched it over a frame and tattooed her family lineage onto the hide using ink she made from the ashes of her smudge. For Nakkita her goal “is to help people connect to their maternal lineage in an educated manor, learning from their house chief and speaking with their elders.” Nakkita wants her clients “to know at least one story from their family history so that when they talk about the imagery on their body, they can educate people about our culture”. Nahaan began tattooing at the request of his family and community. For Nahaan “the spirituality and re-connection to our past is most important”.
His goal is for “people to become more culturally responsible and active on a daily basis”. With similar goals and approach to “tattooing” Nakkita and Nahaan inspired one another. They shared cultural knowledge, techniques, and approaches to progressing the artwork further into culture. They also worked on composing a song that talks about the spirituality and reconnection of our nations through “tattooing”. Our oral stories are the foundation of our history lessons. These lessons are reinforced and remembered by our visual language we call art today. Our visual language was “tattooed” onto the bodies of leaders and people who were knowledge keepers. If your Nisga’a name had a “tattoo,” that “tattoo” would be passed down along with the name to keep the history alive and well. ABORIGINAL PRESS PHOTO It is the responsibility of the wearer to educate the NAHAAN RECEIVING a tattoo from Nikkitta, owner of Northern Ink. viewer of our history, culture, and identity. or if you would like to get by either of these artists, kkita Trimble or Nahaan For more information some Northern Ink done please contact either Na- on Facebook.

Recycle old cells
IF YOU have old cell phones laying around, now’s the time to get rid of them. A box has been set up by the desk at the Terrace Public Library. When it’s full, it will be sent away to be recycled by the Jane Goodall Institute. The institute suggests taking one last “cellphie” before recycling it and sending it by instagram or tweeting it be posted on the institute’s website. The idea behind the recycling effort right now is that cell phones contain valuable minerals, including gold, tin, tungsten and tantalum (coltan). Control over the mining of these minerals is fueling a civil war that has killed more than five million people, and is destroying forests and chimpanzee habitat. Canadians create demand for these minerals by frequently upgrading their cell phones. Recycling our phones reduces the demand for minerals. Reusable phones are refurbished and redistributed in developing markets. Some are donated to hospitals for patients who need access to emergency 911 calls. Parts that are not reusable are broken down and recycled. Funds raised from recycling phones will help to supports the work of the Jane Goodall Institute.

WITH THIS spring’s census comes local job opportunities and the return of the long form census. Fourteen enumerators will be hired for Terrace plus three crew leaders and three crew assistants, said StatsCan’s director of western region and northern territories Lorne Anderson. There is also going to be a small remote census office here on Lazelle Ave. where the workers can get more materials if needed but they will primarily work out of their homes, he added. The number of enumerators and crew needed is based on population and geography because population alone isn’t enough, said Anderson. For example, on population alone, the Northwest Territories and its 80,000 people would be estimated to need three crew leaders but that wouldn’t work because of the massive geography that has to be covered. Terrace is similar to a certain extent. “For your area, there’s some challenges with people living in more remote areas and how
to get there,” he said. Enumerators are paid $16 per hour plus expenses for mileage and crew leaders $19.91 an hour. As for the long form census, which has had its fair share of negative comments as it’s mandatory, the fact is that only some people will have to do it. It’s mandatory for everyone to complete the short form census and one in four households will be chosen to take the long census, which is also mandatory. The last census in 2011 was similar except that the long form census was renamed the National Household Survey and it was voluntary so people could decline to do it and just do the mandatory short form census instead. “It’s not onerous. I’ve done it in the past,” said Anderson about the long form census. The short form is about nine questions and the long form is 49 questions, he added. Everyone doesn’t have to do the long form because it would take a long time to tabulate results and valuable data can be

A date for the census has been set out but Anderson advises everyone to do the census when they get their notification in the mail.

MLA to press gov’t for more transit SKEENA NDP MLA Robin Austin says he will be pressing the provincial government to follow through on its commitment to boost regional transit. He is zeroing in on the existing BC Transit Skeena Connector service between Kitamaat Village/ Kitimat and Terrace as an example. Started in the last decade, the weekday-only service also runs east on Hwy16 to the Gitaus subdivision and west to New Remo. It is financed by BC Transit, the Terrace and Kitimat municipal governments, the Kitimat-Stikine regional district and the First Nations governments of Kitaamat, Kitsumkalum and Kitselas. Because it is one way for medical patients to travel back and forth between communities, the Northern Health Authority also signed on and at the beginning was providing nearly 60 per cent of the operating costs. That figure reflected, in part, the health authority agreeing to pick up some of a BC Transit shortfall because its budget was frozen when the service was introduced. But the health authority, citing the need to balance its Skeena Connector spending with other transportation commitments under its Northern Connections transportation program, has been gradually reducing its annual subsidy – from nearly $187,000 in 2009 to $160,000 and then to $80,000 as of this year. The result is that local governments are now having to pay more to maintain the service because of the health authority reduction. That has drawn Austin’s attention because the province has made a commitment to put more money into northwestern B.C. regional transit beginning this year. “The province has said it will be increasing transit spending. But here it looks like it is giving with
one hand but then taking away with the other,” he said. The promise by the province to increase regional transit is part of a $3 million plan to improve transportation services connecting communities along Hwy16. It was announced late last year in response to continued calls for reliable and safe transportation along Hwy16 and is to play out over the next several years. Within that $3 million is the commitment to spend $1.6 million over the next two years to maintain or increase transit along the northwestern portion of Hwy16. Austin noted that calls for more regional transit were first made nearly 10 years ago at a Prince George symposium held in response to the numbers of missing and murdered women along Hwy16. “And it was even mentioned in Wally Oppal’s report and that was in 2012,” said Austin of the former provincial attorney-general’s inquiry of how police handled the investigation into murdered and missing women from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. No decisions on how the $3 million is to be spent have been made but, based on comments made from transportation minister Todd Stone, details are to be released this spring. Northern Health Authority official Jonathon Dyck said the phased-in reduction of its annual Skeena Connector payments began several years ago. He added that the new annual figure of $80,000 matches what it provides for similar medical patient travel services elsewhere. “On Haida Gwaii we have a partnership for service between Queen Charlotte and Masset and that’s at $80,000,” said Dyck of a subsidy provided. “Wherever we can, we work with partners,” he said.
Temporary commander in charge of Lisims-Nass RCMP detachment THE NASS Valley has a temporary RCMP commander from Terrace while it awaits the choosing of a new officer in charge. Sgt. Shawn McLaughlin is in temporary charge since Sgt. Jim Fenske was transferred to the Grand Forks detachment after a two-year posting in the Nass. McLaughlin, nor-
mally a watch commander in Terrace, was asked to fill in and took the job. “I’m thankful for the opportunity to be here and work for the Nisga’a Nation and excited about the future,” he said. He doesn’t mind that the change is temporary until a permanent replacement is found. “It’s one of my fa-
vourite places. It’s gorgeous up here,” he said about the Nass Valley. “Unbelievable scenery and people are fantastic and very welcoming and are more than willing to make me feel welcome.” In recent weeks, police arrested at least one person on charges of giving alcohol to a minor in the Nass and McLaughlin says that
stopping bootlegging and other alcohol problems is a priority. “We just want to see responsible use of it (alcohol),” he said. McLaughlin said highway patrol officers will also try to increase their road patrols to decrease the opportunity for people to bring liquor into the Nass communities for illegal sales.

Leclerc said the timeline for the project has yet to be finalized, but construction could begin as early as late 2016 and potentially be finished in 2017, depending on how the project tendering process goes.
The total amount in federal gas taxes being returned to B.C. was $73.3 million for 57 capital and capacity building projects in B.C. communities.

Overpass yield sign to be placed A statement from the transportation ministry says its engineers “have reviewed the signal timing at the intersection and have confirmed it is functioning as designed and is appropriate for the traffic volumes.” Ministry officials have also met with the RCMP and “will continue to closely monitor this intersection.” Flemming said he sees how there can be a difference between design and reality when human error comes into play. “Everything on paper looks good, and it doesn’t quite pan out. We are relying on the human element when driving comes in,” he said. What’s happening is that drivers crest a rise while turning left onto the
overpass from the west of Keith and are focussing on the turn but can’t see traffic which also crests a small rise and is continuing through from the east, he said. The company that did the initial design concept, R.F. Binnie and Associates Ltd., for the $2.3 million overpass reconstruction project won a Deputy Minister’s Consulting Engineers Award earlier this month. The major part of the overpass reconstruction work involved adding a second lane for traffic coming off of the overpass from the north and turning eastward along Keith. That’s intended to ease what had become a bottleneck on the overpass which is part of Hwy16.

NEW TRAFFIC lights on the south end of the Sande Overpass, part of reconstruction project finished late last year, are intended to improve traffic flow and increase safety. But six accidents and other incidents have now been reported involving drivers turning left onto the overpass not yielding to through traffic coming from the other direction.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT AGAINST BULLYING ON FEBRUARY 24
Recognizing cyberbullying Before social media became so prevalent, instances of bullying were somewhat easy to recognize. However, with a good majority of children now engaged in digital networking and social media, bullying may not end with the ringing of the school bell, and evidence of bullying may not be so readily apparent. According to Cyberbullying statistics from the i-SAFE foundation, more than half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyberbullying. More than 80 percent of teens use a mobile phone regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for repeated cyberbullying. Cyberbullying takes place through electronic technology and differs from traditional forms of bullying. Cyberbullying can occur via text messaging, blogging, updates to social media sites and/or phone conversations. What makes cyberbullying more difficult to detect and remedy than traditional bullying is that sometimes this type of bullying is veiled in secrecy. Those who engage in cyberbullying can create aliases and accounts under false names, allowing them to covertly engage in bullying behavior. As a result, tracking down bullies
can be challenging. Although cyberbullying is on the rise, there are some things that parents and children can do to help put a stop to such unfortunate instances. * Parents who feel their child is not emotionally ready for the responsibility of a digital device can hold back on purchasing a smartphone or choose one with very limited features. Some schools set strict limits on phone usage at school, and children who go only from school to home and vice versa may not have the need for an “emergency phone” that can open up a window for trouble. * Adolescents and teens should feel comfortable talking with their parents without the fear of reprimand. Otherwise, they may hide instances of cyberbullying or not know how to broach sensitive topics like bullying. Parents can engage in conversation with their children often and stress that the doors of communication are always open. * Teens should be made aware that cyberbullying is a very real occurrence and is not just other kids “having fun” or “joking.” If behavior is repetitive and hurtful, it should be made public and addressed. * Parents can monitor and limit their children’s personal accounts. Some smartphone and tablet applications can be mirrored on the main account, enabling parents to see incoming text or video messages. * A laptop or desktop computer should be placed in a shared space so that usage can be monitored. Parents can restrict tablet or smartphone usage to public areas. * When online, children should

be advised not to share personal information. Social media sites may be used by bullies to gather sensitive information about a person that can be used against them at a later time. Children should be urged to keep passwords secret and to never give information such as birthdays, phone numbers and addresses to people who aren’t close friends. Friend lists should be restricted to only those people students interact with frequently to minimize the chance for bullying or other inappropriate behavior. * Teens who have been bullied can keep evidence of the bullying and may benefit from talking with a counselor. Cyberbullying is a growing concern for educators and parents and has far-reaching implications. Getting smart about this phenomenon can help staunch new cases of online bullying.

Chambers of Commerce in BC − Leaders in Action
What is a Chamber of Commerce?
CHAMBER MEMBER FOR 27 YEARS!
This is a question I hear all the time – “What is a Chamber of Commerce”? This is either followed by “Why should I join the Chamber of Commerce?” or “But what does a Chamber of Commerce do?” I usually answer with “The Chamber of Commerce does many things, which means there’s usually at least one reason for everyone to join”. I view the Chamber of Commerce as having three levels: • Large-scale – on an international, Canadian, and Provincial level the Chamber provides an advocating voice for the business community. • Locally – the Terrace Chamber holds events, networking opportunities and benefits that pertain to the business community of Terrace, Thornhill and surrounding area. • Within your business: businesses can access different benefits that fit their needs specifically, such as medical/dental group insurance, merchant services discounts, or fuel discounts.

Chambers of Commerce were started as organizations who could speak to government on behalf of the business community. For example, the BC Chamber, every year, creates a Policy and Procedure Manual, made up of all the recommendations from BC Chambers and is given to MLAs and Cabinet Ministers in the province. These manuals have recommendations from all the regions of BC, addressing issues pertaining to nearly all, if not every, of BC’s provincial government ministries. With an average of 40 new recommendations each year, Chambers of Commerce are truly the Voice of Business. The Terrace Chamber is not only your voice of business, but your benefit provider, networking opportunity, event host, and marketing assistant. • Benefits are available through a variety of providers. Some of the most utilized benefits include Chamber Group Insurance where small businesses can optimize the cost of medical and dental coverage through the mass purchasing power of the Chamber. Payroll assistance, fuel discounts, Purolator discounts, and Merchant Services special rates are other well used benefits. • Monthly luncheons with a guest speakers are held in Terrace. Last year we heard from Stantec / RDKS, TransCanada, RCMP (Terrace), Air Canada, the City of Terrace, WestJet, Bank of Canada, Port of Prince Rupert, Brian Lee Crowley, and BCLC. Not only do these monthly events give an opportunity to hear what’s happening in our community, but also network with other professionals and hear Chamber news. • The Business Expo and Business Excellence Awards are hosted by the Chamber every year to celebrate, recognize, and showcase the amazing businesses in our area. • The Terrace Chamber knows it can be tough to get the word out about your latest success, next big event, or even to introduce yourself to the community. That’s why we offer marketing assistance. We send out email blasts on behalf of members and non-members, as well as have a Member News section of the monthly newsletter. We even have advertising space the website home page! Get in touch with the Terrace Chamber to utilize these marketing tools. Receiving the Email Blasts and newsletters keep members in the know with what’s happening in Terrace. As I said before – there’s usually at least one reason to join the Chamber of Commerce, if not more than one! For more information on membership, or how to sign up, get in touch with the Terrace Chamber today! 250-635-2063 or admin@terracechamber.com or www.terracechamber.com. We’re located at 3224 Kalum Street, downtown Terrace. Sincerely, Erika Magnuson-Ford, Executive Director

Chamber of Commerce
Welcome to Chamber week, a time to celebrate all the businesses large and small that keep our economy moving. On behalf of the Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce we are pleased to have this opportunity to provide an update to our membership and community. In May of 2015 we held our Annual General Meeting where the board was elected. I’m pleased to introduce the following volunteers who serve you as your board of directors: Loralie Thomson, Vice President Mike Jones, Director (appointment) Jeannine Knox, Treasurer Lael McKeown, Director Janice Shaben, Past President Steve Smyth, Director Shaun Bilodeau, Director Evan van Dyk, Director (appointment) Bert Husband, Director Crystal Zaharchuk, Director Allen Kent, Director We continue to host our monthly luncheons and have an exciting slate of luncheon speakers lined up for 2016. This is an opportunity to network and learn firsthand about upcoming events and opportunities. We have always welcomed non-members to join us for a chance to see more about what the Chamber is all about. The Chamber office is busy preparing for another successful and always entertaining Business Expo. The businesses that participate in this annual event put an amazing amount of effort into setting up their booths and showing off their businesses and organizations. We hope you will plan to be there to take it all in. Our other big event each year is the Business Excellence Awards Gala. This year was an extraordinary evening that followed the theme of an evening at the Oscars. Many of the local businesses were celebrated in all that they do for our communities. You can find a list of winners, sponsors, and pictures of the event on our web site www. terracechamber.com. Your Chamber is a member of the BC Chamber of Commerce who meet on an annual basis. This is where Chambers from all over BC meet to identify ways of serving our members better and also to develop and recommend policies that reflect the on-the-ground needs of BC businesses. These policies are vetted, and voted on and are then presented to the Provincial Government ministries. The BC Chamber’s grassroots policy-development process is second-tonone in British Columbia. A copy of the current Policy and Positions Manual can be found on at www.bcchamber.org/policies . For the past ten years we have been fortunate to have local representation on the BC Chamber board of directors, Rod Cox. Rod has served in numerous positions from Director at Large to Chair and is stepping down this year after fulfilling his final duty as Past Chair. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Rod for all his work and dedication.

BUSINESS NEWS
Bike paths, seniors housing make up spending wish list IMPROVED WALKWAYS for pedestrians, more bike paths, more assisted living for seniors, a recreation centre for youth and building up local farming all made the list Feb. 11 as Skeena – Bulkley NDP MP Nathan Cullen asked locals how the federal government should come through on its promise to increase infrastructure spending. Cullen’s session was one of a series he’s holding in advance of the first budget of the Trudeau federal government which is expected the end of March. Increasing spending on infrastructure by as much as $10 billion, even if it meant going into debt, was a key portion of Trudeau’s election platform going into last October’s election. “This is an important thing to do,” Cullen told the 45 or so attendees in the arena banquet room, as he encouraged them to prioritize what is most needed in the community. “We are going to see a budget in four to six weeks.”
Notice to CityWest customers An error was made in the “Message Centre” of our February bills. The bills stated that CFTK would be moving to channel 61. This is NOT the case. CFTK is staying on channel 7, and CBC Vancouver will be moving to channel 61 on February 22, 2016. This affects analog, digital, and optical TV customers. CityWest regrets the error.

MP NATHAN Cullen asked locals last week how the federal government should spend money. “As a Member of Parliament I don’t apply for funding,” he said afterwords. “I help groups and organizations and I hope this informs them as much as it does me. What happens next is we sit down, and the city starts making some
applications. There are different streams, and based on this, hopefully we have a much higher level of public buy-in, so it’s not just some mayor or my personal agenda that’s validated,” said Cullen. “Ultimately, we
want to be able to say this came from the citizens who chose to participate. That has a lot more credibly when you are fighting for funding.” Cullen added that the exact amount the northwest might receive has
not been determined, and that usually infrastructure spending is generally divided per province and given out through grants.
Miners close local office ALLOYCORP CONTINUES to cut costs while waiting for market conditions to improve in hopes of one day developing its molybdendum deposit at Kitsault on the north coast. The company, which holds the property through subsidiary Avanti Kitsault Mining Ltd., mothballed its facilities at the location last year and several weeks ago closed its Terrace office, resulting in three job losses. “It’s not the easiest thing to do,” said Alloycorp safety, health and environment vice president Shane Uren of the closure, which leaves two company employees in Vancouver and five in Toronto. “But we knew the dynamics of the project had changed by last O c t o b e r / N ove m b e r. Our project was based on moly being in the $10 to $12 [per pound] range,” said Uren of the product which is used as a strengthening agent
www.terracestandard.com A19
Shane Uren in steel. “But now with moly in the $4 to $5 range, it’s just not viable.” To date the company has put approximately $160 million into the property since purchasing it in 2008. The money was spent updating and refining data on the deposit from when mining was done there previously, and in preparing new mining plans to nail down costs, conducting socio-economic, environmental and other studies leading to approval from the
federal and provincial governments and the Nisga’a Nation. Beginning in 2014 and into 2015, they built a road to its site, prepared the area for mining equipment and an accommodation camp and rebuilt a bridge owned by the provincial government. All of that work, which has been topped off by a renewed examination of the mine development plan to further detail costs, has Uren convinced there will be eventual development once the moly market revives. “It’s still a robust project,” he said. “At $10 to $12 [a pound for moly] we’d be underway.” The company had already costed out its project budget at approximately $1 billion and, until the price of moly began dropping, they had high expectations of receiving needed financing through an agreement with a collection of European banks.
With that expectation of financing, Alloycorp had been anticipating a full on construction start by the middle of last year. But despite the mothballing, Alloycorp continues some work to meet conditions tied to approval of the project. That’s chiefly two studies, one being ocean and the other being freshwater. “We’re in the process of securing the financing to meet those commitments for 2016,” said Uren. Never a large company, Alloycop, once known by its subsidiary name as Avanti, had about 25 people on payroll at the height of its development work, using contractors and contract employees for specific work as needed. But its employment planning called for 300 jobs to be created over a mine life of 14 years and possibly longer depending upon further ore body development at the location.

In Loving Memory of
Guilherme Cabral Demedeiros April 1, 1940 - February 22, 2015 God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away, and although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Forever in Our Hearts Wife Maria Amelia, Sons Peter and John, Daughter Lucy and Extended Family and Friends
In remembrance of our mother's eternal light and love
SHARON LALONDE June 6, 1943 - February 15, 2014 I often sit and think about The years that have passed by And of the happiness and joy That was shared by you and I I think of all the laughter The smiles and the fun And before I even know it My tears have once again begun For, although it brings me comfort To walk down memory lane It reminds me how, without you Life has never been the same

Holkestad, Robert Anker (Rupe)
Rupe was born on June 15th, 1927 in Prince Rupert. He passed away peacefully on February 11th, 2016. Together once again with his loving wife Betty, who predeceased him on March 15th, 1998. He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his sons, Kirby (Pat), Brian (Rose) and Don (Wendy). Forever in the hearts of his grandchildren, Natalie (Phil) Nundal, Ryan, Danielle (Haruki) and Nicole Boileau, Jillian, Derrick (Sharon), Dawn (Kevin), Shawna, Dana and Brett Holkestad. Rupe was a proud great-grandpa to Tiona Holkestad, Logan and Jesse Peters, Evan and Axton Holkestad, Sam and Charlie Nundal, and Logan Noguchi. Rupe was a ‘Lifetime Member’ of the Rotary Club. Before his health declined, he was often seen on his daily walk around town, at the golf course for 9 holes with his friends or sitting in the stands at a high school basketball game. He was a very kind and gentle man and will be sadly missed by many relatives and friends. A ‘Celebration of Life’ will be held at a later date. “Though your smile is gone forever And your hand we cannot touch We shall never lose the memory of the dad/papa we loved so much”
The eyes have it Loved and Missed Forever in Our Hearts Your Loving Family

Terrace skater competing at nationals By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE’S LAURA Dale will showcase her hard-earned figure skating abilities with the best of Canada at Special Olympic Nationals March 1-6. Complete with a variety of graceful twists and jumps, Dale’s skating routine is set to an emotional keyboard masterpiece from Romeo and Juliet. “I love it all,” she said when asked about her favourite part of the routine. With a gold-winning performance at provincials last year, Dale spent the year perfecting her routine and strengthening her fitness. “She actually improved in every area,” said skating coach Jennifer Kuehne of Dale’s fitness training, adding that she is grateful to the City of Terrace who donated her a free pass to the gym and pool during the off-season. Dale also worked hard on her back spin and can now hold it for five complete revolutions, Kuehne said. “She is very musical... Laura would be one of our best skaters in Terrace at our creative event - where you turn on a piece of music and you just let them skate freely and move to the music. That’s definitely the thing she is the best at and the thing she

competitions, the judges are just in awe of how creatively she can move her body.” Kuehne said not every provincial winner goes to nationals, but Dale was chosen with nine other B.C. skaters by a selection committee after provincials. “Just winning provincials is a super big deal. Then a few months later we got information that she made it to nationals… we’re really excited for her,” Kuehne said. “It’s going to be a great experience for her no matter what. It’s a great opportunity.” The top athletes at nationals will advance to represent Canada at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Graz, Austria in 2017. Preparing for the national stage in a few weeks, Dale said she is nervous but she likes performing in front of a large crowd. This year Dale said she will be “thinking about our people,” that is, skating in memory of two of her grandparents who passed away last December. Dale will fly to Corner Brook, Newfoundland, for nationals with 126 athletes and nine figure skaters on Team B.C. and her mom, Jody Kelly, will also travel east to support her daughter in the competition.

Gymnasts show off skills at Terrace meet YOUNG AND budding gymnasts from across the northwest are coming together to compete in an invitational meet at the Terrace Peaks Gymnastics Club this Saturday, Feb. 20. With 75 athletes from Smithers, Kitimat and Terrace, the event will put young gymnasts to the test with routines on the floor, beam, vault and bar, doing leaps and handsprings, circles, cartwheels and much more. Nine-year-old Terrace competitor Carissa Nenninger said she is looking forward to competing. “It’s fun. You get to show off some skills you’ve learned,” she said. The weekend she is “getting a bit more experience competing in front of people,” she said, adding that she hopes to go to provincials later this year. Nenninger started competing in gymnastics two years ago, but she has been in gymnastics for as long as she can remember. “It’s fun to learn new stuff, new skills like soul circles and handstands on the bar,” she said of the sport. “I like doing roundoff back handsprings.” Eight-year-old Piper MacCormac from Terrace is new this year to competition.

PIPER MACCORMAC and Carissa Nenninger get ready for a spin as they practice for the competition coming up at the Terrace Peaks Gymnastics Club. “I’m really nervous,” she said, agreeing that being in front of peo-
ple is hard. Asked why she decided to com-
plete, Piper said “new things,” adding that she likes the challenge of
the sport. “I just like doing the hard stuff and then being challenged,” she said. “I like having a more strict coach because they make me do the level of things I’m at. They don’t push me too hard or do things too easy,” she said of the coaches. The Terrace meet this weekend has 19 young Terrace gymnasts signed up to compete. Coach Karl McPherson said it is important for their development as athletes. “It is a perfect opportunity for our young athletes, from a developmental point of view, to have competitive experience,” he said, adding that this way they can test and see if they enjoy competition, before spending money to travel outside of the zone to compete. For the older competitive athletes, it is preparation for provincial championships, which are coming up in Langley April 14-17. This Saturday’s annual fundraiser at Terrace’s Peaks Gymnastics will have admission by donation. The junior olympic level one athletes compete at 9:30 a.m. with awards at noon. Level 2 and 3 compete at 1 p.m. with awards at 4 p.m. All the other levels compete at 5 p.m. with awards at 8 p.m.

LOCAL SNOWMOBILERS are welcome to ride Sterling Mountain slopes at Snowarama this weekend.
By JACKIE LIEUWEN
Sledders to ride Sterling THE SKEENA-VALLEY Snowmobile Association is gearing up for their biggest event of the year, open to all snowmobilers on Sunday, Feb. 21. Snowarama is an annual 15-kilometre ride for snowmobilers, who head up to the first cabin on Sterling Mountain where the club has a free barbecue with hamburgers, hot dogs and smokies for all the riders. “It’s a great community event,” said club secretary treasurer Gerry Comerford. “It’s the biggest event of the year for our club… a family event,” he added. “The big thing is to try and get not only you as a individual rider, but also

your family members and friends to come out for the day. It’s just getting everybody out, get together and enjoy the social aspect once we’re up at the cabin with the barbecue.” The event is open to anyone in the community with a snowmobile and raises money for the local Lions Club. The trail will be freshly groomed, with open slopes for riders who want to hit fresh, un-groomed powder on the ride up. “We would like to see somewhere between 75 and 100 people; that would be great!” Comerford said, adding that turnout is weather dependant. “We always hope for a nice day.”
s the vehicle neared the end of Weber’s fence line I made out the familiar colours of an RCMP cruiser, and stepped out of my truck. The car stopped where the photographers’ van had earlier. It had only been about fifteen minutes since I’d made the call to 911. “I expected a Conservation Officer,” I said, as the cruiser window powered down. The officer leaned over the console. A rifle sat bolted and upright between us. There was a computer on the dash. “They just went off shift when the call came,” he said. RCMP officers have changed dramatically since I was a kid back in the fifth and sixth decades of the last century. There are still physically formidable officers in the force, to be sure, but all statures, both sexes, and folks from a variety of ethnicities wear the uniform now. As kids we looked up — both literally and figuratively — to white Anglo Saxon Protestant men, all of them over six feet, it being a requirement of the job, and many of them wore neatly trimmed moustaches. RCMP officers wore a service revolver strapped to their waist back when Tim Horton was a promising young Maple Leaf blue liner. They didn’t wear bullet proof vests or carry tasers and rifles.

WITH TWO tough losses at the All Native Basketball Tournament, Terrace WAKS had a disappointing bottomplace finish last week. In their first game on Monday, Feb. 8, Terrace WAKS (“brothers” in Nisga’a) were pitted against Vancouver and lost 74-53, intimidated by the strong team and packed gym. “The crowd, the teams – Vancouver and the defensive intensity – it’s different. It was very intense,” said coach Terry Monture. “We played 32 games [during the regular season] and even though we won [in several close tournaments], we did not have a single game as intense as the game we had here.” “We were definitely intimidated by a very good team,” Monture said, explaining that they held back on some opportunities early in the shot clock, and then were forced to throw shots up before the buzzer. “A lot of it had to do with a packed building. Until you are on the bench and you play it, you don’t realize how it affects you,” he said. “The place was packed. It’s just crazy! The intensity level of that game, you have to be there to experience it.” In the first quarter, the WAKS played a strong game, but still wound up down 8-18. Monitor said the second quarter was what really did them in. Vancouver scored 24 points, earning a strong lead which the WAKS could not recover, despite a strong second half. “We outscored them by five in the second half, once we settled down and played our game, but by then it was already too late,” he said. The WAKS lost the game 74-53 to Vancouver, with the main Terrace points earned by Kenneth Monture who scored 12, Andrew Nyce 11, and Tyler Moore 7. Dropped into the second pool, the Terrace WAKS faced Hazelton on Wednesday, Feb. 10, which was a strong, close game ending in a tough 74-73 overtime
loss. The WAKS trailed Hazelton close to seven points all the way through the first half of the game. Then, down by 12 at the end of the third quarter, the WAKS ramped up their pressure in the fourth, pressing a full-court defence and outscoring Hazelton 19-7. As the clock wound down to the last 30 seconds, the Terrace WAKS were down by three. Andrew Nyce got possession of the ball and dribbled fast and hard up the court, launching a three-pointer into the air as the buzzer sounded through the gym. The ball swooshed through the basket for an epic, game-tying finish, launching the teams into overtime at 6363. Both teams played a strong overtime game, but the WAKS missed too many free throws and eased off their pressure which cost them the game. “The big difference in the overtime was a mistake I made,” said Monture. “We pressured them in the fourth quarter
and that’s where we outscored them 197, and we didn’t do that in the overtime.” The final score was 74-73 for Hazelton, a tough swallow for the WAKS, who beat Hazelton three times in their league season earlier this year. Monture said that besides easing defensive overtime pressure, other key things that cost the WAKS the game were three-point shots and free throws. Hazelton hit 16 three-pointers, 12 more than the four landed by Terrace WAKS. “What also hurt us was that we went 15 for 31 from the free throw line. We missed 16 free throws, in a one-point game,” Monture said, adding they made only 6 of 12 in overtime. Having aimed and expected to finish in the top four, the Terrace WAKS’ bottom place finish means the team will have to qualify for the tournament next year – unlike this year when they had a bye from their 8th place finish in 2015. The WAKS are now practising to compete in a Kitimat tournament in April and in Kamloops in May.

ing up with chores. When the stat holiday arrived, partly motivated by an urge to see if somebody had been up to some mischief on the Copperside road, I proposed that the family - down to Karen, Oona, and I these days - hike the Creek Trail, the same path I’d followed the day of the twilight fusillade. As we crossed the Highway 16 Bridge, I looked downstream and saw a trio of fishers preparing to fish Channel 3 despite the wet and cold weather. We made our way to the pullout at the Old Bridge and after pulling on our crampons, made our way up the road entering the bush at the start of the horse trail. A cloudless sky would have been a nice touch for family day but having the temperature a few degrees above freezing early in February was almost as pleasant. The passage of anglers over the pathway had made the trail icy and hard. We were thankful for our walking poles and the spikes fastened to our boots. At the first opportunity, I looked down on the river and saw it was colouring up. We passed through the site where Baxter’s Mill once stood, crossed the stream feeding the tail of Baxter’s Riffle where the Chum Salmon used to spawn then walked under the old trees toward Blackie’s when a rifle shot startled all three of us. ... continued ...

Defence counsel for Joynt, Dallis Winsor, said his client admitted that he had a bit too much to drink at the bush party. He rarely goes to parties anymore and his alcohol consumption has greatly diminished, court heard from the defence counsel. Joynt has not been in any trouble since that bush party, he said. Even though Joynt was stabbed, the stabber was not charged because, as Winsor understood it in his submission, the police believed that the stabber acted in self defence. Joynt is prepared to accept that but is certainly upset since he
was stabbed, said Winsor. Ken Anderson, defence counsel for Bolton, said his client also acknowledges that he drank too much at the time of the assault and that this affected his judgment. Bolton saw his friend Joynt in a fight and thought the other person who had a knife had started the fight, said Anderson. Bolton is no longer into the party scene like he was back then and has shown remorse for his actions, he said. “I can tell you Mr. Joynt and [the victim] are lucky. It doesn’t take much for a blow to the head to cause
significant injury,” said Struyk before sentencing the pair. No matter what the circumstances are, kicking someone in the head is out of line, he added. “When it’s two on one, it is also a recipe for disaster,” he said. Struyk gave both men credit for pleading guilty and for making good decisions since the altercation by moving forward to being contributing members of society. “I wish you all the best and hope I never see you back here again,” said Struyk. No charge information was ever sent to Crown prosecutors for consideration.
