City to clean up popular Skeena boat launch By Lauren Benn THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
S TANDARD TERRACE
www.terracestandard.com
The eNVy of the North!
www.thenorthernview.com
TERRACE - Getting a boat launch into usable condition for the summer is costing the City of Terrace $25,000. While it might not be within city limits, a long-standing lease agreement for land on Terrace’s outskirts where the Skeena and Kalum rivers meet is part of the rationale for city involvement. The $25,000 is to temporarily fi x the boat launch at FisherThe Northern man’s Memorial Park while longterm plans are developed to better protect the launch should the river change course and from rock and sand left behind when waters from the spring melt recede. Each year, the city spends up
to $5,000 to look after the park, including removing debris from the launch’s concrete pads, garbage removal, cleaning washrooms and parking lot maintenance. But rocks, sand, trees and other debris are blocking the boat launch and making it unsafe to use. The launch is well used by local and tourist anglers. The park is on CN Rail and transportation ministry right of way, but a no-fee lease dating back to 1965 is what brings the park area into the city’s hands. In the late 1990s, a non-profit group raised money to fix the launch and in 2006, approximately $12,000 was spent by the city to fix it again as it was unusable due to sandbars and de-
bris blocking the area. The sand and debris returned with the late spring 2007 floods. While the launch has still been used throughout the summers since, more debris was left at the launch from last year’s high waters. The city now wants to reinforce river banks to safeguard against further erosion and to remove sandbars. But debris build up will continue over the long term and a move might eventually be necessary, says City of Terrace leisure services foreman Floyd Mann. “The river is changing,” he said. “It could get to the point where all you’re doing is cleaning the silt and sand out.” “It may be a determination at the end of the day that
the boat ramp won’t be usable there for that much longer,” said Mann, adding the city is spending $10,000 to ask a consultant for advice. “The water is a funny thing though, it does what it wants and sometimes it defies what everybody thought about,” Mann said. Terry Montague has been hired to reinforce the river banks and to clean up the ramp area. Local angler Randy Murray, who owns the Northcoast Anglers fishing and hunting store, is glad the work is being done. “It’s almost impossible to use it safely,” said Murray. The Kitsumkalum boat launch, located on the same river junction on the opposite side of the Kalum bridge, is also well used, he said.

young people planned and did the march. “They did a really good job for getting people out to march against drugs and bootleggers,” he said, adding quite a few people came out to march. We’ve been dealing with bootlegging and drug dealing for a long time.” The village has run into a stumbling block or two in its attempt to stop the illegal activity but the councillors are determined to find a way to get around the obstacles to target the dealers and bootleggers without their families getting hurt, he said. “I think this helps now that the school kids

have taken it upon themselves to let the dealers know what they think of drugs and bootleggers in the community. I told them we support them 100 per cent so that’s really good and I hope that the dealers and bootleggers really listen and stop what they are doing without us having to come and tell them,” said Clayton. “It takes these young schoolchildren to let us know, the leaders, that they’re really concerned with what happens. They’re the future leaders so I told them we will deal with it (illegal activity) all the time. Every public meeting we will see what we can do.”

Mixed bag for those who ďŹ sh halibut By Malcolm Baxter THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - It’s a good news, bad news story for recreational fishermen and charter operators when it comes to halibut fishing this year. On February 17 federal Fisheries minister Keith Ashfield announced the recreational fishery’s share of Canada’s allowable catch (CAC) was being increased to 15 per cent from the 12 per cent limit that has been in force for close to a decade. (While charter operations are commercial in nature, they are classified as recreational for the purpose of the federal Fisheries allocation.) However, that came in the wake of the International Pacific Halibut Commission’s decision at its annual meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, to cut the CAC by 8 per cent - from 7.6 million pounds to 7.038 million. In other words, the Canadian sport fishery
will get a greater share of a smaller pie. That said, its share will still increase by about 40,000 lbs. compared to last year to 981,000 lbs. The catch limit remains one a day with two in possession. First Nations have been allocated 500,000 lbs and the commercial fishery 5.6 million lbs. But if the minister thought his decision was going to applauded by the recreational fishery, he quickly found out differently. The Sport Fishing Institute of BC charged that the changes would ensure “recreational anglers will experience the shortest halibut season in living memory.� President Rob Alcock pointed out that last year the fishery was closed September 5 and “caused extensive economic damage to the sport fishing industry.� And now Ashfield had served notice the fishery could close in
the first week of August “which will wreak havoc...and will not conserve a single fish.� Alcock pointed out the allocation adjustment does not change the fact that Canada’s 436 commercial halibut quota holders will continue to take 85 per cent of the CAC and repeated the sports fishery charge that less than half of those quota holders actually fish for halibut. Instead, they make money by leasing their quota to other commercial fishermen. The Pacific Halibut Management Association - it represents commercial fishermen - had quite a different take. “Allocating fisheries resources based on who can lobby the hardest is not in the best interests of the fish,� said manager Chris Sporer. Kitimat’s Halibut Allocation Task Force was one of many groups in BC that lobbied furiously for a change in the allocation in the run
up to last year’s federal election. Sporer added a stable allocation framework “creates the proper incentive for all participants to act responsibly and invest in conservation and the long term health of the resource.� Sporer added that while commercial fishermen “are fully accountable for all catch, both retained and released�, the recreational fishery “is poorly monitored and has overharvested in five of the last six years. “Re-allocating fish from the well monitored fishery to a poorly monitored one undermines conservation efforts and responsible fisheries management,� Sporer maintained. Meanwhile the BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF) said it was “dismayed� by Ashfield’s announcement. President Rod Wiebe said it was now clear prime minister Stephen Harper was not prepared to live up to his pre-elec-
No more bullying in the Nass By Staff Writer THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
NEW AIYANSH - The Nass Valley is part of am anti-bully pilot program. The Bullying Prevention Program, developed by the RCMP and University of Victoria researchers, is called Walk Away, Ignore, Talk it Out and Seek Help, (WITS), which are all skills young children can use to deal with bullying. “The primary goal of the program is to create communities
that are responsive to the prevention of peer victimization and bullying,� said Sgt. Donovan Tait, detachment commander of Lisims/Nass Valley RCMP. “The trained RCMP officers will play a central role in assisting school staff, parents, and community leaders in taking a unified approach to reducing bullying in their communities,� Tait continued. “The RCMP recognizes that specialized skills are required to work with youth at risk. Youth
officers receive training that ensures they are fully prepared to deal with the many issues facing youth today,� said Tait, adding that Nass Valley Const. Vanessa Demerchant has done the WITS training. News of the pilot program was perfect timing for the Lisims/ Nass Valley RCMP, who had several events in the schools for Anti-Bullying Week last week. Tait said officers work closely with school counsellors and other to help young people.

tion promise made in Campbell River when he said, “We remain committed to finding a solution to BC’s halibut allocation issue in advance of the 2012 season that strikes a fair balance.� Wiebe maintained giving 85 per cent to a few hundred commercial halibut quota holders and only 15 per cent to “the thousands of Canadians who fish for halibut� could not be considered a fair balance.

Teachers march on day two of strike tion has been denigrated for the last ten years, in this province. Funding has been robbed from our schools, and teachers have been under attack by the provincial government. The government’s proposed legislation, Bill 22 is just the most recent blow,” says Middle School teacher, Elliot Fox-Povey. “It’s a profound insult to teachers, it worsens the situation in the classroom for students, and it intentionally misleads the public. Teachers want a fair settlement; students, parents, and all of us need a reinvestment in education...Not being paid less than last year would be good, keeping pace
By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Teachers in Prince Rupert made their way through the snow to City Hall on Tuesday afternoon, protesting the government’s actions as it relates to the ongoing strike. Holding signs that had slogans like “Teachers taking a stand” and “Students need more! Bill 22 give less!” and “Our kids deserve better”, union members marched through downtown chanting “Negotiate don’t legislate” and more before arriving at City Hall for speeches and a lengthy rally. “We have watched as educa-
with the cost of living, but ask a teacher in Prince Rupert about their biggest concern and you’ll hear about their struggle to teach in an underfunded, overcrowded system.” The event took place on the same day that between 4,000 and 5,000 union members marched on the B.C. legislature to demand that the government withdraw Bill 22, which will impose a cooling-off period and appoint a mediator to seek a settlement within the government’s “net zero” wage mandate for B.C.’s 41,000 teachers. On Wednesday union members were providing leaflets to the public.

These blues will put smile on your face THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - Attention all you Blues fans, join the Kitimat Concert Association in welcoming Carlos del Junco to the Mount Elizabeth Theatre on Thursday, March 15. Thrill to his melodic strains as he makes his harmonica wail, sing and even cry for your entertainment. To say he plays the harmonica is like saying “Jimi Hendrix plays guitar”. He blows the blues harp through a prism - suddenly it seems he’s holding every colour in the musical rainbow right there in his hands. Born in Havana, Cuba, del Junco (loosely translated “of the reeds”) immigrated with his family at the tender age of one. He bent his first note on a harmonica when he was fourteen, making his debut with his high school math teacher at a student talent night. In his early 20s del Junco was immersed in a visual arts career - he graduated with honours from a four-year programme, majoring in sculpture at the Ontario College of Art. Sculpture has definitely had an influence on his outlook on music: “Music is just a different way of creating textures and shapes.” Playing a ten-hole diatonic harmonica, Carlos has developed the unique ability to play chromatically by using a recently developed “overblow” technique taught to him by jazz virtuoso Howard Levy. Overall, this approach to the diatonic harmonica, although much more difficult to achieve, is in many ways more expressive and communicative than the mechanized tone produced by the chromatic harmonica. Carlos is one of the pioneers of this overblow method, bringing musical credibility to what has still been considered by many in the music industry as a fringe folk instrument. The sophisticated sound produced by del Junco is at once sensitive, soulful and sexy while never forgetting the rawness inherent in blues music. With the late Bill Kinnear, Carlos del Junco released his first CD, Blues on independent label, Big Reed Records in November 1993. The rich collection of blues classics was a collaborative effort with Kinnear playing acoustic and dobro guitars and handling lead vocals.
Scammers are on the prowl KITIMAT - With the number of telemarketing and prize pitch scams increasing in this area, the RCMP are reminding people to be on their guard. Constable Bradshaw said the scammers have ben targeting both individuals and businesses via mail, phone and e-mail. RCMP are currently investigating a fraud involving a mailer that advises the consumer they have won the lottery. Once the target phones the number given in the mailer, they are asked to send money to cover the cost of taxes on the winnings. If the individual sends off a cheque - a legitimate post office box is given - that’s the last they ever hear. Bradshaw said, “If you think you have been a target of a scam or have already paid money, contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre - www.antifraudcentre. ca - or the local detachment at 250-632-7111 for further information and assistance.” The Anti-Fraud Centre can also provide information on current scams plus tips and prevention information. Bradshaw said the bottom line, as always, is “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”
Five out of six reviewers in the Toronto Blues Society, selected Blues for their top ten releases of 1993. In March/April 1995 del Junco travelled to Chicago with a Canada Council grant to study with Howard Levy. This year saw the release of of the critically acclaimed Just Your Fool a sizzling live session with Kevin Breit on guitar, Al Duffy on bass, and Geoff Arsenault on drums. It was this CD and the collaborative effort with Thom “Champagne

Columnist’s stories are now in book form By Malcolm Baxter
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - After more than three years of writing the “It’s Our Heritage” column in the Northern Sentinel, Walter Thorne has gathered together 19 of those articles and self-published Kitimat Chronicles Volume 1. And he’ll be unveiling the book next week at the museum. Thorne said he has always had an interest in history so when he came to Kitimat 35 years ago, it was a natural to start digging into this area’s past. “I went to Braun farm repeatedly,” he recalled. “I was really interested in that and some of the artefacts there.” He then got involved in the museum, eventually chairing its board, and out of that grew the Heritage group which he currently chairs. So what sparked him to start writing about it? Thorne said that when he was working on his teaching Masters, “the whole theme was to get down on paper your ideas, where you’re from and so on.” Essentially their personal histories in the profession. He started to look beyond and, as he puts it, one thing led to another. Thorne was also spurred on by the discovery that his own grandfather had been a missionary in Aiyansh in the Nass Valley. “I feel quite passionate about telling stories,” he explained, adding it frustrates him that a lot of local history is in danger of being lost. For example, people often ask him which books he went to to find
out about a particular story, to which he replies. “There aren’t any, this is first line research. “This is the kind of history where you have to go out and find someone who lived it.”
Fortunately, he noted, the museum has recordings of the oral history of the Haisla elders from Gisela Mendel’s time as its first curator. “Those are invaluable because somewhere
down the road that’s all we’ll have.” While he wrote the stories, Thorne emphasizes the book would not have been possible without the work and computer skills of long-time

New Residential Construction Guide Benefits Homeowners and Builders Homeowners have a new tool at their fingertipss to help them better understand how warranty providers evaluate claims for possible design, labour or material defects in new homes. The Residential Construction Performance Guide is the newest online resource available on the provincial Homeowner Protection Office website at www.hpo.bc.ca. It explains how homes covered by home warranty insurance should perform.
“For most consumers, buying a new home is one of the largest financial investments they will make. So it’s essential that homebuyers can make that investment with confidence, knowing that they will not be faced with additional expenses to repair defects after they move in,” said Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Owners’ Association and an advocate for consumer protection.

This includes the most common defect claims that might be submitted under a home warranty insurance policy – from windows that malfunction, to driveway or interior concrete floors that have cracked, to siding that has buckled. Designed primarily for conventional low-rise, wood-frame homes, the guide also provides some helpful guidelines for the common property of multi-unit buildings.

Three occupants were located inside the residence and two men and one women were directed to exit, and subsequently taken into custody. Further in-
vestigation determined that one of the men had been observed in the apartment brandishing what appeared to be handgun. Based on this information police made an application to a Judge to execute a search. At approximately 6:05 a.m. members of the Prince Rupert General Investigation Section and General Duty executed a search warrant at 628 3rd Avenue West, for the purpose of locating and seizing a firearm. Despite police efforts no handgun was located. Further investigation determined that at the time the complaint was received there had been a dispute over the alleged sale of narcotics. This prompted an argument and during the dispute two
of the men involved threatened a third man. “Now that we have additional facts, this investigation appears to have all of the earmarking’s of a drug deal gone wrong,� stated Cst. Ericson spokesman for the Prince Rupert RCMP. “This appears to be an isolated incident and we are wanting to reassure the public that their safety is not in any jeopardy�. As a result of this investigation two Prince Rupert area men were arrested for Uttering Threats and were later released from custody on various police imposed conditions. Both men are scheduled to appear before the Prince Rupert Provincial Law Courts in early April 2012.

PRINCE RUPERT - The halls of Charles Hays Secondary were filled with Pink on Feb 29, Provincial Anti-Bullying Day. Student council encouraged the students to check their wardrobes for pink clothing to show support for students who sometimes fall victim to bullying. The day has been celebrated annually for several years to encourage students and staff to talk about the issue of bullying.

KITWANGA - For Pink T-shirt Day, Kitwanga Elementary students stepped up against bullying. Every student received a pink T-shirt from the school and they all wore them in a sea of pink at the school. This year, the school provided the pink shirts but in the past, the PAC group purchased shirts for the students, said Dawn Hippisley, school secretary. It’s the third time in the past six years that shirts were provided to students but anti-bullying and social responsibility are part of the school’s everyday programs, she added.

PRINCE RUPERT - The Jim Ciccone Civic Centre was transformed into a playland for youth on the North Coast last Saturday as the volunteers of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society hosted the 21st annual Children’s Festival. Clockwise from top left: Students from Charles Hays helped with facepainting, fingernail painting and more; kids had free reign to let their artistic juices flow on the art wall; balloons of all colours coould be seen around the gymnaium and the auditorium; 2010 Juno Award winner and featured performer Norman Foote had the kids up and dancing during his two performances - one at 11 .m. before the other activities started and one closer to the end of the day to help close out the festival.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our precious and dear mother and friend Flo.
We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new; We thought about you yesterday And days before that too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, Now all we have are memories And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake With which we’ll never part; God has you in his keeping, We have you in our heart. Dad, you are forever in our memories, Always in our hearts. Sadly missed and forever loved by your family and friends.
Flo was predeceased be her sister Margaret, brother Charlie, her husband Chuck, son Robert, and daughters Shirley and Cathy. She is survived by her son Don (Trish) and daughter Marj (Larry), 10 grandchildren, and 16 great grandchildren. She will be sadly missed by all that knew her. A memorial service will be held on Saturday March 10, 2012 at the First United Church at 1:00 pm. In lieu of à owers donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in Flo’s name.

ELAN TRAVEL WINS MAJOR NATIONAL AWARD Elan Travel has, once again, qualified for membership in Air Canada’s elite CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE. Membership consists of the top fifty agencies in Canada. Elan remains the only agency based in rural Canada to have ever qualified. George Clark, President of Elan Travel, said that he is particularly pleased to have achieved this accolade during a period when the economy in Northwestern B.C. has been experiencing a long, pronounced recession. To offset the challenges posed by the regional economic funk (Which, mercifully, appears to be easing!) Elan Travel has successfully acquired Corporate Travel accounts based in other parts of the Province. In fact two of our largest accounts are based in Vancouver. Elan Travel has also been successful in developing our own brand of tour products to exotic destinations including: China, India, Peru, Bhutan and Russia to name a few. These tours now have a loyal and growing client following in all parts of Canada and increasingly the U.S. Without a doubt the main reason for our success has been our loyal staff. Of fifteen staff six have been with Elan for over twenty years and the average length of service of all employees is 14 years! When you make your travel plans with Elan Travel you are booking with one of the top agencies in Canada ………and most experienced. To all our many loyal customers a BIG THANK YOU!

Kincolith’s girls storm new annual basketball tournament By Janine Workman THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KINCOLITH - It was a new tournament in a new recreation centre, which saw First Nations’ teams from across the province come together on the basketball courts in Kincolith last weekend. Organizer of the event and coach of the Kincolith Storm junior ladies team, Melvin Burton said the tournament was a success. He plans to make it an annual event and said that teams came from all over the Nass Valley as well as from the Tsimshian territories and Kitamaat Village to take part. “The tournament went pretty good, the teams that came in were really happy with the way it was handled,” Burton said. Winning for the ladies was Kincolith’s own team, the Kincolith Storm, who have been playing together as a team for eight years now. For the junior boys, the win went to the Port Simpson junior boys’ team. Players were billeted at homes in the village and referees were brought in from out of town for the event. Next up for the players will be the Junior All Native basketball tournament held over spring break in Port Alberni. “I wish everyone luck as they head down to the Junior All Native [tournament],” Burton said.
