Museum wants a new home THE TERRACE and District Museum Society is renewing efforts to find suitable space for artifacts, photos and documents. The material is now kept at the Heritage Park Museum complex, which is operated by the society, but buildings there aren’t considered suitable, museum curator Kelsey Wiebe said in a presentation to city council April 23. “Sensitive artifacts are ... kept throughout the 100-year-old buildings,” said Wiebe during the presentation. She noted temperatures inside the buildings can drop below -20 C and rise above 20 C. “Climate fluctuations accelerate the deterioration of historic documents,” said Wiebe. The buildings at Heritage Park Museum are of log construction and were gathered from various locations in the area and moved to the park site on the bench so they could be preserved and displayed. The museum society ideally wants a permanent building elsewhere that’s not only large enough but has the kind of temperature and humidity climate controls needed to preserve artifacts, photographs and written material. But for the time being, the society is asking the city for assistance in finding a temporary location. Both the temporary museum and permanent one would need to provide adequate office space, changeable display space, adequate storage space, and proper
climate controls, said Wiebe. The society estimates 3,000 square feet is necessary. For the temporary space, a building would need to be either provided or purchased and upgrades are estimated to cost $250 per square foot. Society president Grant Piffer, who also spoke to council April 23, said time is of the essence in finding a temporary location while planning for a permanent one. That’s because items which could become museum material are now in the homes of people who are getting on in years and without a facility, which could accept those items, they could become lost, he said. “There is a generation of people who are in their 70s or 80s ... those are the children of Terrace’s pioneers,” said Piffer. The society has a list of issues to resolve as it works toward its goal. “We actually haven’t ironed out yet whether the society would own the land or the buildings,” said Piffer. “We’re working with city staff to try and get things nailed down.” A permanent structure, containing temperature and humidity controls would cost as much as $500 to $1,100 square foot. The society has not yet officially asked the city for financial assistance pending completion of a more detailed plan for a permanent building.

Street patrols beefed up THE RCMP’S presence in the downtown core is being beefed up thanks to filling vacancies. The Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), also called the street crew, originally had four members, then moved down to three and in recent months had been down to only two officers. “CRU has been down to two members for the past few months as a result of vacancies,” said Terrace RCMP inspector Dana Hart, adding that the Terrace detachment itself is almost back to its full complement. “There has not been any significant increase in crime, but if we aren’t proactive, it will [increase],” said Hart. “And while we are pleased
not to be in the top 10 [cities for crime rate], we are committed to further reducing the crime rate in the Terrace area.” The street crew was formed by Hart’s predecessor, Inspector Eric Stubbs, in response to an increasing problem of public intoxication, petty crime and social disorder in the downtown core. Officers stepped up foot patrols, concentrating on prolific offenders with the idea of preventing crimes or problems before they took place. The street crew also uses a van, making it easier to take people to jail or to facilities where they can be assisted. Statistics Canada’s Crime Sever-
ity Index for communities with more than 10,000 residents in 2010 placed Terrace at 29 out of 238 when it was released last year. That was a major drop from the city’s 13th place showing from 2009. And the violent crime severity index put Terrace at 34th place. Stats Can started keeping track of the Crime Severity Index in 2009, saying it addressed the amount of crime and also its severity. It also shows whether crime is more or less serious than in previous years and whether reported crime is more or less serious than in other places.

Crash injures woman A WOMAN was taken to hospital in the early afternoon of April 23 after being involved in a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Keith Ave. and Kenney St. on the Southside. The crash involved a provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure vehicle carrying a male driver and a male passenger, both were uninjured, and a tan-coloured Toyota car being driven by the woman. She was the only occupant of the vehicle. The woman was extracted by emergency crews from the Terrace Fire Department using the Jaws of Life and other equipment, said Terrace RCMP Constable Angela Rabut. The crash happened at roughly 1:30 pm April 23. Investigators were occupied the rest of the afternoon in examining the causes of the crash. It is known that the truck was traveling northbound on Kenney St. and the car eastbound on Keith Ave.

THE DRIVER of the Toyota vehicle was injured and taken to hospital as a result of this accident in the early afternoon of April 23. “She is stable,� said Rabut from the scene, adding that the woman was transported by ambulance to Mills Memorial Hospital for treatment of her injuries. Another RCMP officer, Cpl. John Hughes, who as also at the scene, said the woman was
alert and conscious. The extent of her injuries were not immediately known. The force of the collision resulted in both vehicles ending up facing traffic in the eastbound lane of Keith Ave. The tan-coloured Toyota was on its side,
pinned up against a hydro pole on the northeast corner of the intersection. The truck was nearly parallel to the car. Ambulance paramedics were on hand as firefighters extracted the woman from the vehicle with the help of
paramedics. Traffic was diverted from the location in the aftermath of the accident. The intersection acts as a key traffic hub on the southside and is used by a mixture of commercial, industrial and residential vehicles.

Mall to undergo renovations THE SKEENA Mall is getting more than just a facelift and work will be starting soon, city councillors learned last week. Council approved a development permit for the mall property, 47314761 Lakelse Ave. in Terrace, and heard from city planner David Block that contractors are expected start as soon as possible. Loon Properties Inc., a subsidiary of major Vancouver-based developer Bosa Properties Inc., has big plans for the space which include renovations indoors, landscaping outdoors, and filling empty retail space. “The new owners of the Skeena Mall property are undertaking a major renovation,” said Block in his report to council. “The new owners have indicated several major retail tenants are close to, or have now entered, long term leases with the mall.” An estimated $1 million will be spent on the work, said Block. The development permit was submitted by Urban Design Group Architects on behalf of Loon Properties March 28, with plans includ-
ing “a dramatic update to the exterior facade of the mall building,” according to the report. Plans include completion and improvement of a landscaped strip along Lakelse Ave., which will be widened with new curb and landscape plantings. There will be a new freestanding sign at the Lakelse Ave. main entrance and another at the corner of Eby St. and Hwy 16. Provisions for small car only parking for up to 42 spaces have been made, which will retain parking stall numbers but make space for landscaping and buffers. The roof will also be fixed, and interior renos will happen, too. “They plan to redo the flooring in the entire mall,” said Block. City councillors at the meeting did raise concerns about landscaping and traffic prior to approving the permit. Councillor Brian Downie noted the area had somewhat of a desert look to it and that if low shrubs are planted, the effect would be enhanced. Councillor James Cordeiro asked if any
Police commend those who aid victims of crime THE TERRACE RCMP detachment has recognized the efforts of those who offer services and support to victims of crime and trauma. The recognition was made as part of National Victims of Crime Awareness Week, April 22 to April 28. This is the seventh year a week has been declared as such. The theme for this year’s National Victims of Crime Awareness Week is “Moving Forward.” The theme underlines the work that individuals, communities, agencies and governments are doing in establishing aid and support to victims as a professional service. “The Terrace Victims Assistance Program is a paramount in efforts to minimize the impact of crime. We work closely with them and value the support they provide,” said Inspector Dana Hart, the officer in charge of the Terrace RCMP detachment in a statement released by the detachment. The Terrace and District Victims Assistance Program provides support to victims, witnesses, family members and others who have been affected by crime and trauma. The program is financed through grants from the Ministry of Justice, City of Terrace, and the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. The Terrace Victims Assistance Program has two paid staff and four volunteers. The volunteers provided more than 800 hours of service last year. “We would also like to thank our members, civilian staff and volunteers, along with all individuals and agencies in our community who assist in supporting victims of crime, and in moving victim issues forward,” the detachment release stated.
considerations were made to handle more traffic. Block responded the area as designed to be used much more than it is already. “It’s only adding any more activity than was expected to be on the site,” he said. Contractors are expected to arrive in a couple of weeks, said Block, adding work should take from two to four months this summer. Loon Properties Inc. purchased the Skeena Mall from Lanch Holdings in December of 2011. A once bustling mall filled with shoppers and shops, the mall has never fully recovered from the collapse of the forest industry in the late 1990s. Lanch Holdings sold the mall as part of a larger plan to divest itself of its shopping centre holdings in western Canada.

The heart of a school Students, teachers and parents make the fabric of Thornhill Junior Secondary By Janine Workman
W
hen the school year ends at Thornhill Junior Secondary this June it will be different than any other summer. The school is closing its doors for good. It’s the first time a secondary school has been closed by the Coast Mountains school district and it was amidst huge controversy and heated debates that the decision was made — ultimately boiling down to declining student enrolment. Time and time again, Thornhill parents and community members argued that Thornhill students are different than Terrace students and that keeping children in a smaller school closer to home was key to their development. “It’s with a heavy heart,” said school principal Jane Arbuckle about the closure. “[But] there’s a point at which you say what’s too small? What’s best for students?” In walking the halls of the school it is clear that the school is half-empty. Classrooms alternate between being alive with the sound of students and teachers, to quiet and empty. Students at a larger school will have more opportunity with more course choices, says Arbuckle. But for a principal who sometimes bakes a lemon loaf to give away to a student who answers the “trivia of the week” question, she says there is a feeling of family within the school that will be missed. “I’ve enjoyed every day,” Arbuckle said of her four years with the school. “You can walk the halls here and know every student by

That’s band teacher Mike Wen speaking with students in the photograph at the bottom right. name.” The school opened in 1975 during an optimistic period in the economy and with the population of Thornhill growing. At its peak, the school housed 350 students and even had two portable classrooms. Enrolment now sits at 180, which is in keeping with a district-wide decline from 8,000 in 1997 to less than 5,000 at present. Students will be moved to schools in Terrace. Grade
10 students will be at Caledonia while Grade 8 and 9 students, along with Grade 7 students from Thorrnhill Elementary, are going to the newly-created middle school at Skeena Junior. Arbuckle said there is a difference in Thornhill students compared to Terrace students, explaining most are ‘bus kids’ from rural areas. Students also have a special connection as they’ve been together since kindergarten. Skeena and Caledonia
will have first pick of furniture and equipment from Thornhill. After that, anything of use will be made available to other schools. “We want to make sure that everything needed at Skeena or Cal goes there,” Arbuckle said. This includes teachers, as the school district has said teachers will shift with the students. Arbuckle was unsure of what would come of sporting banners, trophies or plaques
earned by students. Vice principal Bill Lenuik, who has been at the school for 23 years, said there is comfort in knowing the community, staff and students are experiencing the closure together. One of the teachers, Linda Lee, spent her entire 30year career at Thornhill. “I still call it the best little school in the northwest,” Lee said, noting its sense of family. She often ended up teach-
ing the children of former students — something that created a real connection and fostered a sense of community. Lee spoke of a tree planting day that took place in the early ‘90s. Students, parents and teachers put in an effort to brighten up the outside of the school. “Kids were working with their parents and their teachers, and we just got it done,” she said, explaining that this all stems from a community having pride in a school. She spoke of the many trips students have taken to Holland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Greece and China. The school has also had a wildly successful band program with teacher Mike Wen growing the program from 16 students to 50 over a 25-year period. This year marks the band’s 12th trip to Musicfest Canada where it has previously won national gold eight times. It also hosted its last dessert concert April 29 with a guest visiting band from Carleton, Ontario. The Thornhill community, and Terrace, is very proud of the band program and of the participating students at the school, Wen said. It’s also the last year for the school’s Timberwolves sports teams. Formerly known as the Tritons, the Timberwolves leave behind a host of athletic achievements. “The heart of this school is like a web,” said Arbuckle, explaining that uncountable achievements make the threads of the school’s blueprint of success. “You can’t pinpoint one thing, it branches into another,” she said.

EDITORIAL
Broken IF SCHOOLS were sawmills, churning out 2 X 4s by the thousands, extending a working day by six minutes to justify closing up shop by one week to make for a two-week spring break just might make sense. But schools don’t operate in a world where production can be measured in board feet of lumber. Instead that six extra minutes will evaporate as spring dew on a warm day, something that looks nice shimmering in the morning’s sun but which is a distant memory by noon. That’s why the Coast Mountains school board’s decision to opt for a two-week spring holiday is so mystifying. It regularly commits itself to improving the academic standing of its students. But tacking on six minutes a day in hopes something will stick to the mind of a student and then closing the doors to those same young minds for two weeks seems a curious way to turn things around. Before making its decision, did the board consider any academic research which would back up such a move? Instead, board members spoke about how nice a longer break would be for those who wanted to go on a vacation. True enough. But vacations are the reserve for those with the necessary income, the means and who are fortunate to have readily compliant employers. For a number of reasons not everyone can cope with a two-week closure. It’s almost as if this decision will benefit a minority rather than the majority. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

THOMAS BRIZA fishing in the Kispiox River in the fall of 2011.
Angler going elsewhere Dear Sir: I am a dedicated steelhead angler and travelled to B.C. (from Austria) every year for 15 years. A new regulation is in place blocking all non-B.C. resident fishermen from fishing
on weekends, sometimes including Friday, meaning you are allowed to fish Monday thru Thursday only. I am heavily disappointed to see that I am no more welcomed as a tourist and as a fisher-
man to that region. Prohibiting foreign anglers from fishing on weekends means simply not welcoming these guests any more. Travelling is complicated enough and covers different roadblocks
(weather, river access, regulations, reduced number of steelhead due to several inputs etc.) which make it more and more questionable whether the trip is worth or not. Now it is over and I
will no longer visit BC for fishing for these perfect fish. I have spoken to several fisherman in the last weeks (e.g. from the U.S.) and I got similar feedback.
Dear Sir: About 20 years ago, I was at one of the inaugural public meetings of the Kalum LRMP (Land and Resource Management Plan). One of Terrace’s most respected professional foresters was sitting next to me. After a briefing by a local forest service representative about the “state” of the Kalum districts forest, he turned to me and said “If we shut down one of the major mills now, maybe we can save the other one. There’s not enough wood for two.” A year later I was standing in the offices of Skeena Cellulose looking at a wall-sized satellite photo of the entire region, with remaining forest, and logged off areas clearly delineated. A Skeena Cellulose forester asked me “What do you think?” and I replied “I think you are running out of wood.” His reply was “You’re right, but nobody wants to believe it.” These were not the pronouncements of the Sierra Club or Greenpeace, but the opinion of a leading forester with decades of experience. We know and live what ensued. Recently it’s been revealed that the BC government is considering opening up forest reserves and protected areas in order to keep a struggling remnant of our forest industry afloat as we simply run out of accessible, affordable timber. A deadly combination of climate change induced disease (pine beetles) and decades of over-cutting have taken its inevitable toll. Locally we see the results as present day companies attempt to access not yet ready second growth wood close to town and already built roads, or remnant stands of old growth that were left standing for a reason. What little accessible old growth that remains at the upper ends of our river valleys is often uneconomical to log and develop.

Miners committed to finding common ground
T
he Mining Association of BC (MABC) believes the best way to strengthen BC’s economic future is to ensure governments, business, indigenous peoples and local communities find common ground and shared value. The mining industry generated $8.9 billion in economic activity in 2010 and mines directly employed nearly 8,200 people with average salaries of more than $100,000. That has also led to millions in economic spinoffs and helped revive many communities, including First Nations. In the past few years, mining has become particularly important in Northern BC. With 11 projects in the works, including the Red Chris copper and gold mine, Galore Creek gold and copper project and the Rio Tinto Alcan smelter modernization in Kitimat. With a strong focus on discovery and production of these resources, BC and Canada are maintaining high standards for sustainability, and protecting the environment. We have a politi-
cally stable, business-friendly climate for mining and strong commodity prices. Sustainable and responsible mining is the only acceptable way to successfully operate in Canada. Besides being a good business practice, which helps gain and maintain lasting investment and job creation, the mining industry is also committed to social responsibility. The members of the MABC have recently adopted the Mining Association of Canada’s Towards Sustainable Mining Initiative. This allows the mining sector to demonstrate that it is accountable for its social, environmental and economic performance. These efforts need to be considered around the federal government’s decision to modernize the environmental review process by reducing provincial-federal overlap and establishing completion timelines. Some opponents of the proposed changes believe specific timelines with less government duplication will result in weaker
GUEST COMMENT
KARINA BRINO reviews. We do not share this view. Both the public and industry want a robust and an efficient process with predictable timelines. An environmental assessment is the first step in the review process. There are many other regulations and conditions that stem from EA decisions. These will not change. The federal government has announced the Responsible Resource Development Plan which
is meant to create a more efficient and effective review system. The plan also calls for a strengthening of the aboriginal consultation process around project development. What’s driving these changes? Industry, governments, and First Nations have acknowledged there is a need to fix the current cumbersome review process that causes delays and drives up costs for all involved. The existing process also threatens to undermine Canada’s position in the increasingly competitive global resources sector. According to Perrin Beatty, CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the current, outdated review process is one of the top 10 barriers to Canada’s global competitiveness and does nothing but “dull our competitive edge.” The federal government estimates there could be more than 500 major resource projects representing some $500 billion over the next 10 years in the energy and mining sectors, which would be a huge economic boost and create thousands of well-paying jobs.
Mining also has many social benefits. Mining can only be successful when it finds common ground and creates shared value between companies, governments and society. For companies and governments, that means making a profit, while addressing the needs and challenges in communities such as unemployment and environmental concerns. MABC believes the best way to strengthen B.C.’s economic future is to ensure meaningful engagement takes place throughout the decision-making process, including around a major project review. To find common ground requires involvement from governments, indigenous peoples and local communities to ensure responsible, sustainable business practices that benefit us all. The more open we are to finding common ground the better chance there is of creating a responsible, sustainable development for the benefit of all citizens. Karina Briño is the President and CEO of the Mining Association of British Columbia.

From Page 7
No fooling, eh We witness the humiliating failure of that industry as remaining high quality logs are stuffed into shipping containers to be processed in China. While I think there is likely some sustainable level of continued harvesting, I have no confidence that is what is guiding decisions as to what gets harvested. And we must remember that this remains a public resource – it is not the property of companies, or political parties. Hopefully the increased influence of First Nations who now
have some control over the remnant forest and industry will lead to better decisions. We have really screwed up badly in BC in managing our forests. But that’s water under a bridge. However the choice remains as to how to proceed. Forest do grow back in time. Salmon habitats will heal. It’s way past time for a public and civil conversation about our forests, and our responsibilities to future generations. C o n s e r va t i o n i s t s were vilified by industry
and government when we warned that this was the future. We were described as enemies of the state. Government and industry gleefully pitted neighbor against neighbor. But in the end it wasn’t conservationists that crippled the BC forest industry, or the creation of a few parks, but greed, shortsightedness, corruption and mismanagement. We were fools to allow it to happen, but we will be bigger fools if refuse to learn from our past. Bruce Hill, Terrace, BC
Dog owners must be more responsible Dear Sir: Would Ms. Marianne Weston be so kind as to give out her home address? (“Just don’t step in it,” letter to the editor, April 18, 2012.) That way, anybody “caught short”, while out garage sale-ing could use her lawn, or garden for relief. I’m sure she would welcome the free fertil-
izer, and it would save a lot of folk a detour downtown. I agree that discarding food wrapping, cigarette packs etc is disgusting, but at least they don’t get tracked home on your hiking boot! I have never owned a dog, but I have knelt in dog-doo in my own yard. I also missed six
weeks work, and still have a sore ankle, thanks to an off-leash dog vs. motorcycle accident ten years ago. Unless your dog is seeing-eye, or you ned it for another medical necessity, it is a luxury, and your responsibility for maintenance, and clean up. Ian Trehearne, Thornhill BC

Outside probe follows injury to arrested man The New Westminster Police Department confirmed that four officers from its major crimes unit were conducting an independent investigation. All in-car and cell block video was turned over to New Westminster police for its investigation. Sgt. Rob Boyd from the New Westminster major crimes unit was one of the four officers who came up to gather evidence, talk to the officers, witnesses and anyone else involved last week. He said the investigation is going to take a few months as officers will now go through all the information they collected up here. If they need to return to Terrace, they will. “It’s not something that can be concluded in a week’s time. There’s a number of things we have to flesh out and investigate and will probably be branching out to a neighbouring agency to assist us with a use of force review,� said Boyd April 27, adding that the other agency would be another municipal police force. Having a municipal police force investigate the incident ensures that investigators aren’t RCMP members and can conduct an independent investigation, which ensures the integrity of the investigation. He said that his understanding was that the injured man was taken to hospital all three times by ambulance and there were three trips to hospital because officers felt he needed to be looked at by doctors all those times. Hart said the officers on duty at the time of the incident remain on their regular duties. “I can confirm that the officers involved remain on full duty and the initial impaired driving matter is still under investigation,� said Hart.
Wife unhappy with RCMP response THE WIFE of a man who suffered head injuries while in police custody here April 21 says she was not informed about her husband’s condition. Heather Prisk, whose 47-year-old husband of nine months Robert Wright is currently in hospital in New Westminster, said she called police to ask how long they would keep her husband after he was arrested but police didn’t get back to her. She went by the detachment before church the next day, April 22, to ask in person and was told then. “They sent someone to talk to me and told me he was in ICU. I never received a phone call. I wasn’t informed of his condition. I was never told. I don’t know why they took him there [Mills Memorial
Hospital] three times,� she said. “They had talked to me on the phone. They knew my phone number..so. It’s pretty shocking and so we don’t know what the outcome is going to be.� Prisk said her husband suffered a “significant intracranial bleed. He is currently on life support. He’s in ICU in a critical care situation.� On April 26 Prisk said she was told it was not yet known how long it could be until her husband woke up. As of April 27, Prisk said her husband had yet to wake up. “At this point, they have reduced or taken him off sedation so there’s just really no reason he hasn’t woken up yet,� she said that day.

THE INVESTIGATION continues into how a man taken into RCMP custody suffered head injuries and had to be taken to hospital three times here before being sent to hospital in Vancouver. The investigation is being conducted by New Westminster police under a policy that prohibits a police force from investigating itself. The 47-year-old man was arrested at approximately 6 pm April 21 after police here responded to a complaint of a possible impaired driver. While in police custody, the man was non-compliant in cells and had to be physically restrained by officers, said a release from the New Westminster police. He subsequently suffered a head injury and was taken to Mills Memorial Hospital three times during the night, continued the release. In a separate release, Terrace RCMP detachment commander Dana Hart said he requested an investigation from an outside police force. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As this incident involved members of the Terrace RCMP, to maintain public confidence I have requested an independent external agency conduct an investigation into the events. Sunday evening [April 22] members from the New Westminster Police Service arrived in Terrace and began their investigation, of which the RCMP are fully cooperating. I am confident the community will continue to have trust in the RCMP,â&#x20AC;? said Hart. The man was flown to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster for further treatment following his examination by doctors here. As of April 23, the injured man was listed in serious, but not critical, condition, the release concluded.

New recycle depot open WASTE MANAGEMENT opened its new recycling depot April 30. Bins at the depot, located at the firm’s Terrace location on the north side of Keith Ave. beside Superior Propane, got a fresh coat of paint last week and the drive-in location was smoothed out to get it ready to go. The free-to-use site includes seven bins and will be open dawn until dusk, said Waste Management’s northern B.C. district manager Jay Maybin. “There’s lots of space for up to three cars at a time,” said Maybin. “It’s easy, it’s all in one spot.” Three of the bins are dedicated for cardboard, three for mixed use which means paper, plastic and other fibre material, and one bin for metals. “We really want to try to keep it clean metal,” said Maybin, adding that includes items from tin cans to bed frames. “(But) we don’t want overly large pieces, anything you can carry.” The drive-in area will be marked by signs directing recyclers where to go, said Maybin. The Waste Management depot replaces a pilot project operated until this weekend by the city at the old Co-op site. Material collected there was taken by Geier Waste to Do Your Part Recycling in Thornhill. The city had tentatively planned to make that depot permanent and at a tentative cost of $70,000 a year. That’s when Waste Manage-

As of MAY 1st, 2012 the Community Recycling Depot will be relocating! We will NO LONGER be accepting recyclables at the downtown Co-op site. The new location will be 4430 Keith Avenue. This depot will be managed by Waste Management with support from the City of Terrace and the RDKS. Thank you to all residents and supporters for making this recycling pilot project a success. Because of you we will continue to have easy to access recycling in our community.
The following materials will be accepted, and seperated into the categories below: (1) Mixed paper and plastics (all types of paper fiber including cereal boxes) and all plastics (#1-7 inclusive). PLEASE NOTE: These 2 materials will now be mixed together in one bin! (2) Unwaxed cardboard (Clean and flattened!) (3) Tin and metal. PLEASE NOTE: Labels need to be removed from tin cans.

To get ready, Waste Management purchased a baler, which is a machine that compacts recyclable materials in preparation
for shipping. Material will be stored at the site until enough has been collected to fill a truck. It will then be taken to recycling facilities in Vancouver.
Slide takes road section away ENGINEERS ARE working on a plan to rebuild a section of Hwy16 east of Kitwanga which washed away last week. In the meantime there’s single-lane alternating traffic controlled by flaggers at the spot between Kitwanga and Gitsegukla in an area called the Andimaul. “We’ll be at single lane traffic for the indefinite future,” said Smithers transportation ministry official Cam
Schley of the situation. He said material had been sliding down from the highway roadbed into the Skeena River for several weeks before much larger amounts of material gave way last week, taking the westbound lane with it. “We’ve had our geotechnical engineers assessing the location. They’ve determined it’s safe as far as traffic goes,” Schley added. But before reconstruction can begin,
crews will need to do a bit more work to clean up the area in which they will be working, he said. Schley said the work plan will probably involve building up the area with larger material leading up to the roadbed level.
The ministry had been rebuilding portions of the highway in the area of the slide but had not been doing any work at the slide location itself. “We’ve been dealing with a whole bunch of geotechnical issues in that area,” noted Schley.

Medal winner passes away A MULTIPLE medal-winning athlete and a founding member of the local water rescue team has died. Joe Mandur Sr., 76, passed away April 20 from cancer. Mandur competed in swimming with the BC Seniors Games for many years and at the Masters Games, winning numerous medals in both. “He’s brought provincial medals home. He set provincial records in the pool,” said BC Senior Games Zone 10 director and chair Bill Whitty. “He’s a super guy, a super, super guy, positive and helpful and his name could be Joe Integrity Mandur without any hesitation,” said Whitty. “He’s certainly going to be missed within the swimming fraternity within the seniors games and we’re going to miss his medal count coming home,” said Whitty. Mandur was one of the founding members of Terrace Water Rescue in 1990 after a young boy drowned and a need for a specialized service was realized, said Terrace Search and Rescue’s Dave Jephson. A group of five or six then came together to form the
framework for the water rescue group. Mandur was a part of the team from then on and took part in many water rescues, said Jephson. “He was a very proud person, very proud of search and rescue,” said Jephson. “He was always making sure we were safe and following proper procedures. He was always thinking like that and looking out for the welfare of our team.” Mandur and his wife Theresa escaped from Hungary following the revolution there in 1956. They first went to Switzerland and then to England before moving to Vancouver and finally to Terrace. Mandur worked first at the Pohle mill here before it burned down. He then worked for CN as a track maintenance inspector, living with his family at Telegraph Point between Terrace and Prince Rupert. An electrician by training, Mandur returned to sawmill work in Terrace, working his way into a supervisory capacity. He ended his working career at Skeena Cellulose.

A PORTION of Hwy16 between Terrace and Prince Rupert is getting new layer of asphalt. The Penticton company of Peter’s Brothers has been awarded a $7.35 million contract for the 34 kilometres of work between the Khyex River and Kasiks River section of the highway. “It’s an overlay so it’s full width,” says acting transportation ministry district manager Randy Penner. “This is old pavement and it’s outlived its useful life,” he added of what’s on the surface now. Penner expects the work to start the middle of this month and last until the middle of July. “It’s going to be a really nice improvement for travellers,” he added. The project is the largest in the area this year. A smaller contract has yet to be awarded to sealcoat up to 12 kilometres in North Terrace taking in the Dover and Merkley Road areas and the network of roads in that area named after berries. “We’d sure like to be able to do a full 12 kilometres, but that will depend upon what the bids come in at,” said Penner. In the Nass Valley, a temporary onelane structure called a Bailey bridge is being replaced near Greenville. In its place at Diskangieg Creek will be a two-lane bridge, said Penner. Design work for the new bridge was first announced in 2010. Some brushing will be going on east of Terrace on Highway 16 and on the Nisga’a Highway from Greenville to Kincolith.

provided on the nomination papers,” said city official Heather Nunn. Ritchie’s situation was raised at the April 23 council meeting by city councillor Bruce Bidgood who wondered if Ritchie actually received the letter. “I’m wondering if the candidate was aware or not,” he said. “This particular candidate moved during the course of his campaign.” Nunn responded she did not receive any mail returned, which would have indicated to her a change in address. Another councillor, Brian Downie, said it’s clear when picking up nomination packages that information must be filed. “The candidate has a responsibility to follow the rules as set out,” he said. Ultimately, now that the second filling deadline has passed the City of Terrace has no responsibility in the matter other than reporting it to the appropriate ministry.

A FAILED mayoral candidate has missed the final deadline to file financial disclosure statements outlining how much money he spent in last November’s municipal election. As a result, Merv Ritchie, who ran alongside four others for the city’s top elected post, can’t run in any local government by-election between now and 2014 or in the next formal local government elections in 2014. Under the Local Government Act, candidates who stand for local government office must disclose financial information pertaining to their campaign. This includes money received, gifts received, or donations in kind which are goods or services given with their value quantified. The value of any discounts for goods and services must be quantified and included as well. Financial disclosure also includes spendings, and involves listing in detail where and on what money was spent. The Local Government Act states that a candidate must file this information within 90 days of the election date, which in Terrace fell on March 19, 2012. After this, there is a late filling period of up

Second degree murder trial kicks off A SECOND degree murder trial began its second week this past Monday for a death that occurred in Thornhill more than two years ago.
Brandon Davey remains in custody for the three to four-week scheduled supreme court trial by jury after he was charged and not granted bail in a court
appearance in November 2009. On November 17, 2009 at approximately 4:15 p.m., Terrace RCMP were called about a man who was
said to be covered in blood and screaming at a Thornhill residence, reported police at that time. Police found that the man had been assaulted
and suffered a serious injury as a result, said police. He was taken to Mills Memorial Hospital and then medevaced to Vancouver hospital
where he died of his injuries, said police. A suspect was arrested and police said it was not a random act as the suspect and victim knew each other.
The Canadian Criminal Code, under section 231 7 defines second degree murder as “All murder that is not first degree murder is second degree murder.”
Pipeline hearings return FEDERAL HEARINGS into whether or not Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project should be approved return to Terrace next week. The panel conducting the hearings has booked the Kitsumkalum community hall for four days beginning the evening of May 7 with an option for a fifth day if necessary. These days are for 10-minute presentations made by people with an opinion or position on the $5.5 billion project to pump Alberta oil through a 1,100km pipeline to a marine export terminal in Kitimat. “Panel members will listen to and consider all oral statements given throughout the joint review process,” reads a position paper issued by the panel. These oral statements are different from the presentations made by intervenors when a first round of hearings began in Kitimat in January. Intervenors at these first hearings provided evidence and have the ability to question project proponents and other intervenors at a final set of hearings. Those making oral statements had to register by last October and had to sign up for a specific date and time a week before the start of the hearings. One of the groups opposing the pipeline, Friends of Wild Salmon, held a workshop in Terrace Monday night to give tips and pointers to those making oral presentations. The panel was in Smithers last week hearing from people there. Hearings there lasted for five days. According to a statement on the website of the Friends of Wild Salmon, 130 people from Smithers and area gave presentations at the hearings.

THERE WERE no injuries when this house on Old Remo Road burned April 25.
House burns TWO PEOPLE escaped without injury from a fire that destroyed a house on Old Remo Road the morning of April 25. Police arrived to find the residence fully engulfed in flames, said Terrace RCMP spokesperson Const. Angela Rabut. A 57-year-old man
and his 16-year-old daughter were able to get out safely from the burning building. After the residents escaped, the man made a boundary around the house with a piece of machinery to prevent the fire from spreading, she said. Terrace RCMP, BC Ambulance, BC Hydro,
and the Ministry of Forestry were at the scene as well. The house was out of the fire protection zone, so neither Terrace Fire Department nor Thornhill Fire and Rescue responded, said Rabut. It appears the fire started on the roof, and is not suspicious in nature.

spring, and it is anticipated all will be in operation before winter. Priority for new webcams is given to routes prone to extreme weather or traffic congestion, and for sites where there isn’t already a nearby webcam. Thirty webcams are being added to the provincial DriveBC net-
work this year, giving motorists more opportunities to check real-time traffic, road and weather conditions as they plan their trips. These new webcams will boost the number of images available on DriveBC to more than 250. Of that number, 38 are in northern British Columbia.

Garbathon volunteers clean up THE CITY is a little bit cleaner after another successful Garbathon and Riverside Cleanup April 22. More than 200 volunteers came out to help out and about 150 were fed at the barbecue for them afterward, said Kerry Giesbrecht of the Greater Terrace Beautification Society. “There certainly wasn’t as much garbage this year but, when you look around, you will see the tremendous difference we have made and the momentum and civic pride that continues to spread across the community,” said Giesbrecht. She arrived at 11 a.m. for the noon event and people were already there, she said. This year’s odd item to be cleaned up was a portapotty, said Giesbrecht. And several items were found in abundance.
“We had a number of beaten up broken bikes and mattresses recovered this year from various parts of the community,” said city sustainability coordinator Tara Irwin. “Also we added a battery recycling component to the event this year and had about 50 lbs of batteries recovered for recycling.” Shoreline cleanup was expanded this year with as many areas tidied as could be done. “It would be nice to say over the summer we got all [of the shoreline],” said Giesbrecht. “I was speaking with Rod from Skeena Wild and he has a fairly extensive list of Skeena River hot spots that they are going to try to work their way through.” Anyone who wants to join in on the shoreline cleanup can contact the SkeenaWild Conservation Trust.
Skeena Jr. students prepare for famine SKEENA JUNIOR students participate in the World Vision 30 Hour Famine May 4, some for the third year in a row. About 120 students signed up and those with parental permission who have raised $50 will be able to take part, says student Ashlee Thompson. “It’s just kind of inspiring to think you can help people who are struggling,” says Thompson about why she’s participating. The famine officially starts at 1 a.m. Friday so students go through the whole school day without food and then spend the night at the school with parent supervisors. Students will be divided into groups and go through the many games they have planned, says Thompson. Teams are awarded points at the games and the team with the highest score gets to eat first when the famine ends at about 5 a.m. Saturday with a huge feast cooked by parents and some students, she says.

JIM DAHL, a rotary member from Ketchikan, Alaska,is visiting rotary clubs around B.C. on his Rotary Foundation Awarenress Ride.
AN AMERICAN Rotarian hopes to bridge international and local Rotary clubs by riding his motorcycle across B.C. Jim Dahl is a rotary member from Ketchikan, which is in southeast Alaska, and hopes to visit upwards of 50 Rotary clubs across the province to speak to the importance of Rotary’s international arm. He calls it his Rotary Foundation Awareness Ride and also hopes to raise money from every club he visits as he covers a distance of almost 25,000 km. “There is a need to educate and raise the awareness to Rotary International,” Dahl says in his greetings to other rotarians. “It's also an understanding, and knowing that you're a part of something great.” Dahl stopped in to visit the Terrace Rotary Club in mid-April. When meeting with club, he shared his knowledge of Rotary and spoke of the efforts of international Rotary clubs. Efforts that Dahl describes as very substantial, notably Rotary's worldwide effort to wipe out polio, a feat he said is near to being accomplished. Dahl is financing the trip himself, sending all of the money raised directly to Rotary. His longtime friend, Dr. Donald Fonte joins him on his trip around B.C., providing additional support by following him in a van. “I have an opportunity, I’m lucky,” Dahl said of his chance to forward a cause he believes in by riding through B.C. “What could be better.”

PSAs KSAN SOCIETY WOULD like you to keep us in mind while spring cleaning your house – we have a steady stream of visitors searching for all manner of items to help make ends meet on a fixed income. Chances are if you don’t need it, we know someone who does! That old, but useable, rake you never use, bowls taking up needed room in a cupboard. A spare blender or slow cooker can mean someone can make a home-cooked meal. A baby carrier can cradle a new life. Blankets, sheets and throws, measuring cups, pliers, cheese graters, garden tools, aprons and hammers. We accept donations of clothing in any and all sizes and types. If you have a bicycle or tricycle to give away, our children will appreciate a bike to ride around. Donations of soap and toiletries always appreciated. Drop your spring cleaning donations off at 4838 Lazelle during regular business hours – closed for the lunch hour. Our Donations Room is open Tuesday and Thursday 10:30 a.m. - 2 p.m. by appointment.

The above order will be enforced, so please come on the right day and bring identification for yourself and your dependents. WE ARE ON the lookout for a bike/trailer or adult tricycle with carrying capacity to test out our worm composting project. Before we launch the project and purchase a permanent eco-friendly vehicle, we are looking to the community to donate/loan/share a bicycle and trailer or a tricycle with a carrier box. It will be used as a test-vehicle by our volunteers to deliver containers to key businesses and pick them up loaded with scraps to feed our worms whose job it is to produce highly prized worm compost for our garden and greenhouse. If the project is viable, we will have worm compost available for sale to local gardeners. Let us know if you can help! Call Marianne at 6352373 ext. 26, email us at ksan@ksansociety.ca or find us on Facebook.

HERE ARE six hockey players from Terrace who have been selected to enter through a selection process that looks for the best hockey players in B.C. Left to right is Kenneth Nordstrom, Jack Lafroth, Keaton Gordon, Colin Bell, Austin Turner and Tanner Braid.
Terrace players take on U16 Cup FOUR TERRACE hockey players recently got to skate with the best bantams in the province as they took part in the U16 BC Cup in West Kelowna, April 12 - 15. Tanner Braid, Colin Bell, Jack Lafroth and Keaton Gordon all participated in the jamboree-style tournament which hosted 160 bantam-age hockey players from across B.C. Players were mixed to create eight teams who played against each other
while evaluators looked to whittle the players down to a short list of 20 who will represent the province in the Western Bantam Challenge. Scott Westgate is one of two evaluators for the north of B.C., which starts at 100 House. Westgate selected 30 players from the north this year to participate in the BC Cup at a selection camp in Vanderhoof at the end of March. A total of 86 players tried out over the weekend, which was open to any U16
players in the zone. “The main thing we look at is skating, and after that comes passing, shooting and handling the puck,” Westgate said of qualities he was looking for in players. “I thought they all played well,” he said of the four Terrace players selected for the next round. “They all deserved to make the list of 30.” All four hockey players took silver this year at bantam provincials in Burnaby.
Coach for the bantams Jesse Schroeder had strong praise for all the players. He said that Braid is an agile puck moving defenceman who has good speed, and Bell is a play-making centreman who can see the ice better than any player Schroeder has ever coached. He explained that both Gordon and Lafroth are big, strong, powerful forwards, with Gordon showing skills as a true leader and Lafroth able to play in any position.

Hockey players off to play at U17 Cup TWO TERRACE locals have been invited to the U17 Cup in Salmon Arm, May 9th. Austin Turner and Kenneth Nordstrom are both preparing to join 120 of the province’s best under seventeen hockey players, in a bid to make the shortlist that would eventually send them to the World Hockey Challenge. “It’s a big deal,” said Scott Westgate, one of two district evaluators for the north, which starts at 100 mile house and extends to Whitehorse. The weekend will see all 120 players mixed into six teams for a jamboree-style tournament where evaluators will watch the players and whittle down the list to 24. From there players will attend another tournament in Kamloops in July with 24 additional players from Alberta. The outcome of that tournament will be another shortlist of 30 players, who will be watched throughout the start of their next hockey season for a final decision of 20 players. These players will make up Team Pacific, and will take on teams from around the globe at the World Hockey Challenge. Nordstrom and Turner are not strangers to the world of high-performance hockey, as both attended the U16 selection camps last season. U17 selections are a tougher process than U16 however and evaluators have already been watching the two players all season long, prompting the invitation. “They showed they were deserving,” said Westgate adding both players showed a high level of skill, and that’s what made them stand out. “They have a leg up,” he said. Turner spent last season playing with the Terrace midget rep hockey team. “[He is] a very hard working kid with great talent, and extremely dedicated to his team and team mates,” said coach of the midget reps Darcy Allison. “His vision of the game is second to none.” Nordstrom took part in out-of-town hockey last season as he laced up with the Cariboo Cougars, based out of Prince George. “He did great for us this year”,” said coach of the Cariboo Cougars Trevor Sprague, noting that Nordstrom was the team’s most improved rookie player. “He deserves to go to the U17, it’s quite an achievement.”

Former resident to be an Olympian JASON HALDANE is seeing his Olympic dreams come true as he prepares to hit the volleyball courts for the England national team. The former Terrace resident has made a life-long career out of a sport he used to play in the Caledonia school gym - having played all over the world and represented Canada on the men’s national team for 12 years and more than 350 games. “It’s a dream come true,” he said of becoming an Olympic athlete. In the past, Haldane had tried to qualify with the Canadian national team but after three failed attempts with the team Haldane thought his shot at the Olympics was over. However, that all changed when he was asked to play on the British national team. As the host team for the Summer Olympics this year in London, Team England already has its Olympic berth. Haldane’s father is British, and he has played professional volleyball in Europe for the past 17 years and Haldane uses his British passport while playing overseas. Team England is currently training outside of Sheffield and Haldane said the team is focused as it trains twice a day. “It’s really surreal because we are so close to it,” he said of the magnitude of preparing for the prestigious event. As he approaches, his 41st birthday Haldane has decided that this will be his last major event before he retires.

HERE IS Jason Haldane on a visit to Terrace in 2009. “I thought it would be the best way to finish a career,” he explained. The next step for the player will be coaching, something he has already dipped into, even hosting a volleyball clinic in Terrace last summer. “I really enjoyed it, I would like to do more camps in Terrace in the future,” Haldane said. “I still have a love of the sport and I would like to hopefully pass that along.” Haldane said throughout his years of globe trotting, Canada has remained his number one country. “Coming home is always great,” he said.
o when exactly does the Kitsumkalum River get some respect? As near as I can figure it, the last time it was given any was by the First Nations peoples who named it and fished it for sustenance and ceremony at Gitanlutsibus, near the mouth of the lower canyon, but even they seem to have lost touch with it over the past hundred years or so. The river, which hosts the largest and most magnificent chinook salmon on the entire planet, provides spawning and rearing habitat for sockeye, coho, chum, and dog salmon, not to mention winter, spring, and summer steelhead, Dolly Varden, bull trout, cutthroat trout, whitefish, and all manner of smaller fish, and by doing so, provides sustenance for all manner of wildlife, is certainly deserving of respect. “You know that old saying about how there were so many salmon in a river that you could walk across it on their backs?” pioneer steelheader, Gene Llewellyn, who spent a lot of his lifetime fishing the river, once asked me over a cup of coffee in his trailer in Copper Mountain. “Yes,” I said. “Well, the Kalum was like that, it really was,” he opened his eyes wide to emphasize the point. “You could look down from the train bridge and the whole river would be black with them.” “They never recovered from that damn

Golf season tees off WITH HOPES of a drier summer, the Skeena Valley Golf Course opened its doors at the start of April. And head professional Germain Francoeur said the course is already hitting it off to a good season. “The course is in good shape,” he said. Francoeur explained that conditions are already better than those of last year as the ground is drier. As a weather dependent sport, last year's summer in Terrace was a challenge on the greens. Although, Francoeur said even with the dreary weather the course put through 15,000 rounds of golf. “So considering the weather, we were fairly busy,” he said of last season. This year the focus is on growing the juniors program and keeping the game of golf affordable. He has created a new membership category for golfers between the age of 25 – 29. There will be four tournaments this season. The Men's Open will take place June 30th, and the Ladies Open will happen the weekend after, July 2. A seniors tournament will take place August 11, and the Mr. And Mrs.' tournament will take place August 25.

worldwide. The Kalum has endured and survived all three so far, but there are additional indignities – many small cuts that, if they continue, will cause the river to finally bleed out and die. There is the toxic unsanitary landfill leeching poison into the valley. There is a predatory sport fishery near the mouth of the river. There are the louts on ATVs who tear apart bogs and trails and drive through fish bearing creeks, – even when the fish are spawning in some cases – in open defiance of the signs forbidding such vandalism. There are the dumpers who toss their refuse out on the Kalum’s back roads. There are the jet boaters who run the river in lowest flows with no regard for the migratory fish that have been holding in the diminished pools for as long as six months. There are the bait fishers preying on the greatly reduced stock of Kalum cutthroat trout. Bait is taboo on the Zymoetz and the Lakelse Rivers, why is it allowed on the Kalum? All these aforementioned insults to rivers can be stopped or lessened to some degree. Since the Kalum Land and Resource Management Plan turned out to be a joke, perhaps it’s time for a group of caring people united by concern for the Kalum to form, call themselves Friends of the Kitsumkalum, and start banging on some doors and tables in an attempt to raise awareness and restore respect to the still beautiful, but much abused, river.

BUSINESS REVIEW Pub planned at old Co-op site By LAUREN BENN A LOCAL group of investors has signed an option agreement with the City of Terrace to buy a portion of the old Terrace Co-op shopping centre location and then build a brew pub on the spot. The site, on the northwest corner of the location close to the Western Financial Group and Staples, means the Skeena Brewery Company can now apply for the necessary licences to build a 2,000 litre brewery and lounge. “This is the first step toward the construction
of an iconic building that will showcase the area’s natural resources, culture, and outdoor lifestyle,” said Greg Linton, the president and co-founder of the company. Its other principals are Will Spat and Julien Rice. Linton, a local physician, signed the option agreement with Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski April 25. The agreement signing came along with a deposit by the company on the lot’s purchase price, which is $96,000. “It’s not a guaranteed sale,” said the city’s director of development
services Marvin Kwiatkowski. “They gave us a non-refundable deposit so if things don’t go for whatever reason ... they’re not out $96,000.” It will be one year before the full purchase price is owed, he said. The option agreement is the first of what the city hopes will be many deals leading to development of the former Terrace Co-operative shopping centre location. The brewing company is now looking for investors, has to apply for its liquor licence, and will need both de-
velopment and building permits before the shovel hits the ground. If successful, in addition to the brewery, plans are to build a 45seat lounge suitable for highlighting local entertainment and local foods. “I think having a place downtown on the co-op property is important to rejuvenate the downtown and give people a gathering spot within walking distance,” said Linton. Plans are to eventually expand beer sales beyond the local region. While plans are still
Greg Linton in their formative stages, Linton said planned products for the brewpub include an appetizer-style menu and fresh
local beer on tap. Live music nights are also on the planned menu. The company has already named a few of its beers, an example of which is the bottombouncing bitter – a beer that’s bitter taste comes from a higher level of hops used compared to other kinds of beer. The company is currently taking recommendations and ideas in through its website to find out what will best suit and reflect the taste of locals. Linton hopes the development will make for a first step toward
a more vibrant downtown. Once a thriving commercial centre with gasbar, grocery store, hardware store, clothing store and more, the Terrace Co-operative shopping centre closed in the late 1990s because the economic decline caused by the collapse of the forest industry. The Co-op building and property was first purchased by the Hull family and then re-sold to the city in late 2005. The structure was torn down last year but not before public debate about its future.
It’s cheap to live here, study says HOUSING PRICES may be rising in the north, but home ownership remains far more affordable than it does in the Lower Mainland, indicates a study prepared for northern realtors. The study determined it took 30.2 per cent of the median family income in the north last year to cover mortgage costs, municipal taxes and fees and utilities for a single family home. That’s compared to 90.6 per cent of a median family income being required in Vancouver, placing home ownership in that region virtually out of the running for the average family. “The extreme unaffordability of housing in Vancouver reached a new reference point of 90.6 per cent, a full three times worse than what is the typical affordability for communities in northern British Columbia,” the study stated. The largest contributing factor was the average price of a house – $229,000 in the north compared to almost $820,000 in Vancouver. Terrace placed solidly in the middle of northern affordability with 32.3 per cent of a family’s income being required. Kitimat came in at 15.3 per cent, making it the most affordable place in the north to buy a home. “The low index for Kitimat reflects the low average house prices accompanied by the highest reported median income in the region according to the 2006 census,” the study said. The average median income in Kitimat, according to census data, and for all family types was $84,979. It took 29.2 per cent of a median family income in Prince Rupert and 32.2 per cent in Smithers. The study looked at median family incomes from the 2006 census in the communities it surveyed and then examined average house prices. Mortgage costs were determined taking the average price of a home sold in each community and calculating a 25 year amortization rate in a fiveyear fixed mortgage after taking into account a downpayment of 25 per cent. The housing affordability study was prepared for the BC Northern Real Estate Board.

Have RV, will promote EFFORTS BY the Kermodei Tourism Society to promote the area have taken on a more mobile approach. The society is leasing a recreational vehicle from Nor-Burd RV Sales and Service and society general manager Graham Genge has already taken it on the road to tourist shows in Edmonton and Winnipeg. With appropriate promotional lettering and art on the sides and back, Genge said the vehicle is paying divi-
dends. “At the trade show in Edmonton, people were saying, ‘you’re the guy in the RV. We saw you driving around town,’” said Genge. Genge said the 2003 Ford Sunseeker also sends a more subtle message – that Terrace is an accessible place to visit. “We’re really promoting Terrace as a destination,” said Genge. “That’s our Number One message.” With a tightened economy
and people staying closer to home, he and others are anticipating an increase in motor vehicle trips. “The north is already popular,” said Genge of circle route options, which include driving across the northern part of the province or taking the Inside Passage BC Ferries run. “But we still get questions such as ‘is there diesel fuel up there.’” Closer to home, Genge said the RV will be making trips around the region
to various campgrounds, up into the Nass Valley and to Prince Rupert when cruise ships there dock. “Not everyone goes to a tourist information centre,” said Genge. “So we’re going to go where the tourists are.” “We want to be more proactive. We felt that within reason, we should do whatever we can to promote tourism,” said Nor-Burd’s Wayne Braun. “Something like this is a huge plus for us.”
