Tahltan oppose copper mine A COPPER AND GOLD mine development north of here poses an environmental risk to the aboriginal people who live in the area, says the president of the Tahltan Central Council. Annita McPhee made the comment May 4, the same day the province gave Imperial Metals a Mines Act permit, setting in motion construction at the Red Chris property located up Hwy37 North. At a capital cost of nearly $450 million, the mine is expected to open in mid-2014 and employ 250 people and have an operating life of 28 years.
But McPhee said the province has failed to take into account worries about the safeguarding of surface and ground water. “We have been expressing concerns about the impacts of this proposed mine to our communities, our traditional practices, our environment, our cultural values and our aboriginal title and rights for years” said Annita McPhee, President of the Tahltan Central Council. “This mine has a proposed life-span of 40 years, and poses risks for the Klappan, one of the most sensitive and important areas for the Tahltan people. Not everything has
been done to address our concerns about long-term pollution to our water, and the damage to a landscape that our people have relied on to feed and support themselves since time immemorial. We do not accept that it can proceed without having our concerns properly addressed.” The Red Chris location is south and to the east of the mostly aboriginal village of Iskut which is 500km by road from Terrace. The mine site itself is approximately 20km east of Hwy37 North.

Miners hope to see an early thumbs up THE PRESIDENT of a mining company which wants to spend more than $800 million on a project north of here is optimistic it will receive early environmental approval. The 180-day provincial environmental assessment clock for Avanti Mining’s Kitsault molybdenum project began ticking down April 30. Projects can only be reviewed once government agencies are satisfied all of the necessary information has been compiled. And so much work went into the application Amanita president Craig Nelson is confident of approval before the 180- day period ends. “That’s my hope. We’re getting a pretty good reaction,” said Nelson in noting the final application incorporated comments and suggestions from agencies who reviewed Amanita’s preparation work. He’s also confident of approval because of the work done to meet conditions of the Nags’ Final Agreement. The mine site is not situated within the core lands of the Nags’ Lisa’s Government but is within the area in which Nags’ have hunting and fishing rights. “We did complete a socio economic impact assessment for the Nags’ and that’s an 800-page document in its own right which now forms part of our application,” said Nelson. “And we’ve looked at the impacts of items such as transportation on First Nations in the area as well.” Amanita has laid out a plan for an open pit operation that would take just over two years to build and have a mine life approaching 17 years. Molybdenum is a sought after commodity used in high strength steel alloys and Amanita has been lining up international customers
for the product. At peak construction, 700 people would be needed with about half that required to work at the mine afterward. Access to the location is by road and the company would maintain a camp at the site with workers on a three weeks in and three weeks out schedule. Nelson said Amanita anticipates a significant percentage of the Kitsault workforce will be from the area with the company only having to bring in some of its top people and those who have the kind of specialized skills not easily found in the region. “We’re thinking in the area of 75 to 80 per cent [employment] range for northwest residents,” he said. “We would also hope they would see the benefits of relocating to places such as Terrace,” added Nelsen of the outside workforce. Avanti purchased the property in 2008 and has spent $70 million moving the project along to the environmental review stage. That’s more than Nelsen thought it would take but said the expenditure is worth it because of the quality of the project. An economic analysis of the project estimates that the mine would have an annual operating cost of $120 million. By road, the mine site is 194 kilometres from Terrace with 100km of that being travelled on the paved Nisga’a Hwy to Nass Camp. Kitsault has been the location of molybdenum mining before with the last mine closing in the early 1980s after only a short operations period. A collapsed molybdenum market was responsible. That mining operation also left a ghost town at Kitsault complete with homes, apartments, stores and recreational facilities.

Workers on strike UNIONIZED EMPLOYEES at the Lakelse Ave. Shoppers Drug Mart store remained on strike heading into last weekend in an attempt to win wage increases. Members of the Union of Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1518 set up picket lines May 1 after voting 96 per cent in favour of striking on March 18. The outlet is open but only for pharmacy service and staffed with non-union workers. Indications of an impending strike were present several days before pickets went up. Canada Post counter stopped taking mail at the store’s postal counter when perishable goods were removed from cooler units. UFCW official James Raposo said talks broke off after Shoppers Drug Mart did not return with a counter offer to a union proposal. The union represents workers at 10 Shoppers Drug Mart location in the province. The employees’ contract expired in July
2011 and the bargaining for the Terrace store began a little late as the union was first negotiating for its employees in the Lower Mainland, he said. “The key issue here is the employer does not want to follow the pattern of settlement,” said Raposo, referring to the local employees here getting the same deal as on the Lower Mainland. He said part of the employer’s reluctance to give employees here the same deal as down south is that Terrace workers organized just recently – they became certified in 2008 and first negotiations were held in 2009. “My understanding is they see Terrace as being, and always have seen it, separate and standing alone from the rest of the Lower Mainland,” said Raposo of the employer position. The first contact negotiated here focussed on monetary issues and didn’t include health and welfare agreements or pensions, he said. All are issues in the current
labour situation. While Raposo wouldn’t go into the exact amount that the union is asking for here, he talked about what the Lower Mainland stores received. Store clerks in the southern settlement got what Raposo described as “a rather modest” settlement of $1 to $1.05 an hour, based on seniority, over three years. He said the local Shoppers Drug Mart store is “not halfway there” in one of its offers. Down south, pharmacy technicians got $1.20 over three years and here the employer is about three-quarters of the way there, Raposo continued. In the Lower Mainland, a clerk’s salary ranges from entry level of $10.40 to $16.70 and for a pharmacy technician, the range is $10.65 to $18.75, he said. Local union members want any wage increases retroactive to last December, to match the Lower Mainland settlement, while the local
store wants the retroactive date to be April. “The real issue is that people [here] feel they deserve to be treated as generously as the folks in the Lower Mainland were,” said Raposo. Picketers have been out in front of the store and on the sidewalk along Lakelse Ave. waving at passing motorists. A security guard has been posted at the store’s front door. Shoppers Drug Mart has declined to comment.

RHEANN ARMES wins for Most Outstanding Senior Performer at the Pacific Northwest Music Festival’s Scholarship Night and was invited back to sing at the Gala Night.
Mother’s Day 4665 Lazelle Ave, Terrace
(250) 638-8086 Peter also managed to save a saxophone belonging to his youngest daughter, Celin, 13, who was at school that morning. The blaze burned the house down to the crawl space in about 40 minutes, said Armes. Rheann had called 911 on a cell phone although the family knew fire departments would not respond because Old Remo is not within any fire protection area. Even if they lived within the fire protection zone, the fire department would likely take 15 or 20 minutes to get there and by that time, most of the house was gone, Peter noted. RCMP officers did come out to the fire. The family stayed at the Northern Motor Inn for three days before moving into the
log cabin on their property, where they used to live before moving to the house that burned down. The cabin needed some repairs and to make it accessible for Rheann. Peter said neighbour Chad Buhr renovated the cabin’s bathroom to accommodate Rheanne who is in a wheelchair. Another neighbour, Maya Ehses, did some painting as well. “So many people have helped us,� he said, adding Celin has a purple bedroom in the log house like she had in the house. “It’s humbling,� Armes said about how everyone has helped. He’s not sure what will be done with the charred remains of their home but something will have to be done as passing by it every day
is “pretty depressing.� An accomplished singer, Rheann suffered a broken back and other injuries in a car crash in Nov. 2010 on Hwy16 between Vanderhoof and Prince George. She is now in a wheelchair. Celin was also injured in the crash as was mother Karen Millard. Rheann won the scholarship for most outstanding senior performer at this year’s Pacific Northwest Music Festival and sang at the festival’s scholarship night April 27 and the next night at the festival’s closing gala where she received a standing ovation. Anyone who wants to help out financially can donate to the Armes’ Family Trust at Northern Savings Credit Union that’s been set up by friends and family.

A SILK gown worn by a scholarship winner during performances at this year’s Pacific Northwest Music Festival was one of the few items saved when a fire destroyed the family home just days before. Rheann Armes and her father, Peter, were at the Old Remo home the morning of April 25 when two sounds caught their attention. “Somebody was honking their horn [and I] heard the upstairs fire alarm at the same time,� said Peter. “I went out to see what the horn was about and I could hear it (the fire) on the roof, crackling, snapping.� He yelled for Rheann, 16, to get out of the house before using a fire extinguisher in an attempt to control the blaze which appeared to have started in a storage room or in the roof area. “I didn’t really think it was that bad,� said Peter about the fire, adding he talked to a neighbour who said the house was falling down while he was inside it. “I didn’t quite realize that.� Smoke forced Peter into Rheann’s room which was farthest away from the fire. He smashed the bedroom window because there was no other way out, tossed her gown out the window and found her dog, a Chihuahua, which had initially run out of Rheann’s bedroom but returned to hide in the closet. “I tried to get other stuff,� Peter said afterward. “I was thinking ‘why didn’t I do this and that, [take] pictures and albums?’� A neighbour, he wasn’t sure who, had moved his pickup early on to save it from burning as well.

MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO
TONY WILSON holds a photo of his son Frank at three-years-old. Frank died suddenly last summer at 33-years-old.
A father’s love Losing a son makes Tony Wilson realize the value of life BY MARGARET SPEIRS TONY WILSON remembers saving his son’s life when the boy was only threeyears-old. The family was out camping on the Skeena River at Kispiox, where Tony and his wife and five children are from, and Frank was sitting on the butt end of Tony’s fishing pole which was being held in one place by a pile of rocks. Frank kicked a rock or maybe the fishing pole itself and the fishing rod acted like a bat, flinging the young boy into the water. Frank didn’t reappear above water for six minutes, said Tony. Tony tied the end of a fishing net to a tree and then to his wrist and when he saw Frank’s head pop up, he knew he didn’t have much time. “I jumped on top of him and grabbed him by the hair and the current grabbed me and I hit the sides of the rocks,” said Tony. “When he came up, [he was] back up like nothing happened.” Tony pulled himself out and joked with the boy about taking a swim, making Frank laugh. He and his family walked the four miles back to Kispiox and that was the last time they went fishing on the Skeena River at Kispiox. Wilson says he left his fishing gear behind and never went back to pick it up. “I could’ve lost him when he was three so he survived 30 years. [Now] he’s gone. Every day I miss him,” said Tony. On June 28, 2011, 33-year-old Frank died from a gastrointestinal hemorrhage by a natural disease process, according to the coroner’s report, which was recently given
to Tony. Tony said it’s difficult to get closure when doctors can’t say why his son died. The coroner’s report classified Frank’s death as natural. Toxicology tests came back negative for drugs and alcohol. And the detailed autopsy report doesn’t list a cause of death as it says his organs were normal. “His heart and lungs were healthy,” said Tony, adding he was surprised at how his son died. Dehydration of some organs was noted but said to be a natural part of what happens to them after death. Tony said the coroner told him some pieces of Frank’s organs had been kept – the doctor said that was so they could examine them more. On the day he died, Frank was at his mom’s place where he was living. From what Frank’s mom and siblings said, Frank did complain about his stomach, said Tony. He had complained his chest was in pain and he had a hard time breathing, said Tony. Prior to saying that, he asked for some Tylenol so Tony gave him some, which he regrets, believing it may have increased Frank’s bleeding. “He just kept quiet and would barely even talk,” said Tony. “It was almost like he went to say something but couldn’t speak up.” Usually Frank was really active, really fast and strong and spent a lot of time playing video games. He couldn’t read or write and he was on a disability allowance but he could play those games easily, said Tony.

FRANK WILSON, in his younger years, fishing the Skeena at Ferry Island. On that day, his mom went out to the store to get a couple of things and returned to find him not responding. She went to Tony’s place – Tony lives next door – and told him something was wrong with Frank as he wasn’t breathing, said Tony. He hurried over to see his son. “I picked up his left arm. It was not that cold, it wasn’t really stiff yet. I put my hand on his chest and it was really cold,” said Tony. “To me he was already gone.” Frank had his shirt, pants and socks on when his mom left to go to the store, but when he was found, he was laying down without his shirt or socks, said Tony. “He must have taken them off because he was burning up,” said Tony.
“Because we’re victims, we do not know how to ask for help, even if we’re in pain we are not able to say it,” said Tony, referring to his time in a residential school and his children’s time in foster care. We all need to be more active in the way we take care of our families, said Tony. “If he went through some kind of help through the hospital, he probably would’ve been alive today,” said Tony. Frank hadn’t been in any fights so there’s nothing to pinpoint what happened, he said. About five months after his son’s death, Tony took out all the photos of Frank, framed them and put them around the house. After month or so he found he was thinking about Frank all the time and couldn’t sleep so he took them down. Now they sit in the closet. Frank’s mom wouldn’t let anyone touch or remove Frank’s jacket that was left by the door – it was the one Frank always wore when he went out. Finally, Tony asked her if he could wash it as it was dusty. He did that and then put it back with a plastic bag around it to keep it clean. Tony said life is more important now and he’s noticing things like how he treats his four children and talks to them. Time with them can be short and you don’t want to miss things, he said. He wants to take his older son, Tony Jr., who he calls Sunshine, out to fish like he used to do with Frank. Being out in nature is freedom and he wants to take his family out camping like they did way back when Frank was a kid, back to Kispiox like the time he saved Frank’s life, he said.

EDITORIAL
Our history ARTIFACTS need to be preserved and displayed in museums, providing a clear and direct connection to our collective past. That’s the challenge facing the Terrace and District Museum Society. Its collection of log structures at Heritage Park is a fine showpiece of a specific portion of regional history and its grounds serve as a valuable community space. But those same buildings just aren’t suitable as a repository for items, documents and photos. There’s also a sense of urgency as items now stored in private homes may be lost as generations change. The museum society has approached the city seeking assistance in finding a building that can serve as a temporary holding place while it plans for a permanent structure. A permanent home with appropriate climate and humidity controls will be expensive and raising the money will be hard. Here’s a suggestion. The city will be approaching the province to secure some of the tax revenues that will be gained from the number of large industrial projects to be built in the region. A similar revenue sharing program is in place in the northeast and is based on helping local governments with some of the costs stemming from these large projects. Having the city using some of that money for a museum building is an idea worth exploring. Preserving the past thanks to current and future profits. Seems like a good fit. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Carly’s story is an inspiration
A
month ago Canada’s best-selling non-fiction book was “Carly’s Voice”, the true account of a Toronto family’s life raising an autistic daughter. Carly’s father, Arthur Fleischmann, wrote the book detailing the family’s long battle to help Carly progress from a mute child to a witty, sassy, intelligent teen communicating with the world through a voice-output computer. Carly added a final chapter. Born a twin in 1995, by age two she was diagnosed as autistic, with oral-motor apraxia (the inability to make her mouth muscles speak words), and cognitive delay. She showed no interest in those around her, avoided hugs, ignored toys and made odd sounds and movements at inappropriate times. Like any other family trying their best to guide their child to a more normal existence, they signed her up for every rehabilitative program suggested by experts of every sort, exhausting government funding, even flirting with personal bankruptcy. But money couldn’t replace sleep, something Car-

One program advised the parents to label everything in the house. This was intended to help Carly point to pictures of things she wanted. Little did the family realize how much Carly was taking in though she couldn’t express herself.

why they avoid some foods and clothing that scratches their skin; how she reduces overwhelming noises by placing a hand over one ear to alter the sound. In the summer of 2010 she introduced her hero, Temple Grandin, to an audience of 800 in Toronto. Temple Grandin, also diagnosed with autism as a child, earned a PhD. in Animal Sciences from the University of Illinois. For an entertaining 80-minute lesson on living with autism watch Grandin’s talk, “My Experience with Autism” on Youtube. For most of her life Carly was placed in special schools with much younger kids because of her disturbing stims. Now she attends gifted classes in a public high school with students her own age where she is making friends and sharing teen activities. Carly invites visitors to her Facebook page to sign her petition for an “autism friendly talk show day”. She’s hoping to gather 10,000 signatures to persuade Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz and other talk shows in North America to devote one day annually to raising awareness about autism.

puter programs and coaxed by the promise of Lay’s potato chips, her favourite food, Carly began writing her wants and thoughts, pushing one key at a time. Soon she was communicating with family and therapists, replying to their questions and revealing the whys of so many of her odd actions. Along the way she gave insight to the average autistic child who as yet has found no way to express their feelings. Carly has become a media star, interviewed on American TV shows including Larry King Live, Ellen DeGeneres, and The Talk. Writing her answers takes her far too long to partake in an interview if she weren’t given questions ahead of time. She types her replies on her computer which then speaks her words. She has a Facebook page, tweets, and on a blog answers questions from parents of autistic children giving them more understanding of their own children’s behaviours. She has explained why autistic children don’t look people in the eye; why they bang their heads, make weird noises, or slap themselves;

The Mail Bag Gov’t loves ignorance
Oh Canada fails to meet criteria Dear Sir: So, the Enbridge Gateway circus is finally coming to town. When the roadshow toured Smithers recently, they put on an informative display of the National Energy Board’s new paradigm for public input. One Monica Howard, of Telkwa, wanted to preface her ten allotted minutes by singing “Oh Canada”. The panel chairwoman ruled her out of order – not germane to the panel’s mandate, she said. I believe our national anthem is entirely germane: “glorious and free, we stand on guard…”. Last time I looked, we are still nominally a democracy. Citizens get a say in setting the agenda; no one tells us what we can or cannot consider pertinent to a public discussion. First we get the bozo who put the country’s international reputation in the dumpster by shirking our teensy Kyoto commitments, and he’s telling us that anyone who opposes Gateway is unpatriotic and in the pay of sinister alien powers. And his boss endorses him. Then his cabinet colleague in charge of natural resources weighs in and (re)moves the goalposts on environmental hearings. “Only those with a direct interest” (presumably meaning only those within spitting distance of the smokestack) are entitled to an expressible opinion on major resource projects in Canada. In the end, Ms Howard of Telkwa finished her presentation, thanked the members of the review panel, and retired singing our national anthem once more. ‘We’ll take a short recess now’ interjected the chair, discordantly. I suppose that’s better than “off with her head”. Canada isn’t a school playground; Canada’s a supposedly mature nation. Don’t we deserve to have our public affairs played out fairly? A level playing field? Non-portable goalposts? And with a head official who has had at least one report card actually say “little Stevie plays well with others”? John How, Terrace, BC

AARON GREYCLOUD, one of the first to speak against the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline during federal hearings this week, wears a scarf bearing a salmon symbol. T-shirts bearing slogans, or other signs of protest, aren’t allowed at the hearings so scores of these scarves were worn by people opposing the project instead.
Dear Sir: Here’s why I don’t like the Conservatives – they want to keep us ignorant. I am proud that I have never supported Stephen Harper. And whatever chance there may ever have been that I would, has long since disappeared. After paying attention to Harper in power over the years my expectations of his government’s behaviour have been confirmed, and I find them quite frightening. Without even trying I can identify 12 reasons the government should resign and give us back our country. The first issue that is utterly unforgivable and that Canadians should be very concerned about is that Harper wants you to be ignorant. He does not want you to know what he is actually doing. This began as soon as he became leader of the new Conservative party when he began trying to control information and the language of public discourse. This was a page right out of the campaign manual of George W. Bush and Harper has for the most part succeeded. More worrying, with a majority now, the conservatives can totally control the parliamentary committee process. Most of the actual work of creating the laws of the land takes place in committee rooms. Committee meetings have traditionally been open affairs, allowing reporters and even ordinary citizens to watch and learn what was being considered and use that information to keep Canadians aware of what the government was up to. There has always been a procedure available for those times when the discussion needed to be held behind closed doors. The committee could go in camera, which meant that all observers not sitting on the committee had to leave the room, reporters and all, and the meeting would continue in private.

Oil pipeline risks outweigh any benefits
had one of the most memorable experiences in municipal management in the early years of my career in Dawson City, Yukon. Dawson City had experienced repeated floods since its establishment in 1896, mostly as a result of ice jamming the Yukon River during spring run-off. Exceptionally severe floods occurred in 1925 and 1944. A protective dyke, designed on the basis of flood data collected up to that time, was constructed in 1959. The very next year, in 1960, a massive ice jam caused the Yukon River to rise to a level never before measured and Dawson City was flooded again. In response to that flood Dawson City’s protective dyke was raised in 1968. On May 3, 1979 (I was city manager in Dawson City at the time) ice jammed up in the Yukon River, roughly six miles downstream of Dawson City, raising the water level to new record heights, and the City suffered its worst flood ever. When Dawson City Coun-
cil and the Yukon Government planned the dyke built in 1959, could they have imagined what would happen within a year of building that dyke? By 1968, with the experience of having underestimated the flood potential of ice jams in the Yukon River, was the decision to raise the dyke four feet higher than the highest flood level ever recorded reasonable? As the events of May 3, 1979, proved beyond any doubt is that it was not. Had there been any way for anyone to know how high the Yukon River could rise as a result of an ice jam, surely the dyke would have been designed and built accordingly. The question is: can we know the future? The Fukushima nuclear power plant was at first to be built on a bluff 35 metres above sea level. But that bluff was lowered by 25 metres so the reactors could be built against solid bedrock. It would also be cheaper to run the pumps providing seawater which acted as a coolant. It’s obvious today that had the
GUEST COMMENT
ANDRE CARREL engineers, the plant’s owners or the government known what they came to know on March 11, 2011 when a tsunami struck, the plant’s design would have been different. What Donald Rumsfeld famously called the “unknown unknowns” are things which, after lengthy investigations into the causes of incidents, accidents, and disasters appear to be obvious, causes that, with the benefit
of hindsight, should have been predictable. The consequences to some of the incidents I have referred to were limited in time and scope. The consequences for others, such as the Exxon Valdez, the Deepwater Horizon and the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster, expanded and extended far beyond the location and time of the incident itself. Some incidents, the Exxon Valdez and Costa Concordia shipwrecks for example, were caused by human neglect. Others, such as the Fukushima disaster and the Deepwater Horizon, and quite possibly the two recent saw mill explosions in British Columbia, were the result of inadequate or inappropriate facility design, construction, or maintenance — the Rumsfeld factor. The risk exposure of the proposed Enbridge project belongs to the same class as the Fukushima power plant project and the Deepwater Horizon. If there is a disaster, the consequences will not be limited in time and location as they are following a train accident
or an ice jam. The consequences of crude oil spilling into one of this region’s rivers or British Columbia’s coastal waters cannot be foretold. We cannot KNOW the circumstances, likelihood, or the full extent of such an event. We do know that the transfer of oil, by pipeline, by ship, by train, by truck — by any means for that matter — cannot be made 100 percent spill-proof. Whatever safety and security provisions may be proposed by Enbridge and regulatory agencies, the project, if approved, WILL carry a risk of incidents whose consequences cannot be fixed, corrected, or compensated for with money. The reasonable and therefore the only responsible conclusion is that no amount of money or economic benefit the Enbridge project may promise today can outweigh and overcome the cost of the risks linked to that project. Andre Carrel is a retired public sector administrator living in Terrace. The above is an edited version of his presentation to the federal panel reviewing Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline plan.

City snowplowing methods were hard to understand Dear Sir: During this past winter the City of Terrace utilized several methods of clearing the city streets; some efficiently others were a shambles. The most efficient and a lesser strain on my back was a grader being the first piece of equipment in the early morning. He would make a pass with the belly blade clearing one half of the road surface and the wing blade clearing that snow as well as clearing
the sidewalk, depositing it on the boulevard. We only had to clear the driveway once. The next efficient, but harder on the home owners, was a tandem truck with a belly blade, which cleared the road and dumped the material on the sidewalk. We then had to clear the driveway. Some time later the smaller snowblower would come along and clear the sidewalk, blowing the snow onto the boulevard. We
Sales pitch is distracting Dear Sir: Enbridge raises four points in response to my April 11 letter to the editor in The Terrace Standard on the possibility of PetroChina’s building the Northern Gateway pipeline to transport tar sands bitumen to itself: it’s premature, Enbridge would have an open bid process, bidders would have to meet stringent requirements and the company is committed to hiring local people, not foreign workers. They are wrong on all counts and they missed the point of the letter which was that Canada is losing control of its natural resources as quickly as it can give them away. This is the very time to talk about every aspect of the pipeline. The federal government is presently shortening the time available for review. PetroChina’s is a major financial backer of Enbridge for this project and while to say the bidding would be open is technically true, it is disingenuous. To state the line would be built to stringent standards is to state the obvious but misses the point of whether such standards would be sufficient. They wouldn’t. The letter did not talk about foreign workers and to mention them is simply distracting. And that’s the point of the Enbridge response: to distract the reader from a government policy that gives away a limited public resource for private and foreign profit instead of for maximum, long-term public good.

Are they driving? Dear Sir: I am wondering if you can answer a question for me. How are the people opposed to the Enbridge pipeline getting to the hearings regarding the project? Surely they wouldn’t drive as there are no petroleum products available in Canada that haven’t travelled through a pipeline. If they did drive then how much credibility can be given to their opposition to the project? I will leave what I feel is a very obvious answer up to you to decide. Brian (Tipper) Mould, Kitwanga

Track tickets written MEMBERS of the RCMP’s Pacific Region Traffic Services section, popularly known as the highway patrol, teamed up with CN Police officers last week to conduct enforcement operations at railway crossings in Terrace. In all, 31 tickets were written to motorists for failing to stop at uncontrolled railroad crossings. Those tickets fall under a section of the Motor Vehicle Act. The Kenney St. crossing, because it has lights and a barrier, is considered a controlled crossing. Vehicles do not have to stop. The crossing further west at the intersection of Frank St. and Hwy16 is considered an uncontrolled crossing. Motorists are required to stop at an uncontrolled crossing and look both ways for train traffic before proceeding.

BUSINESS REVIEW
Mining socially supports MINING HAS expanded beyond business and profit, the president of the BC Mining Association told a luncheon here May 1. Karina Brino said a new element – being socially responsible – has become an important part of one of the province’s major industries. Trained as a social worker, Brino said her current occupation allows her to pursue her passion of being involved with people. “[It’s] precisely to deal with the issues that are at the core of our society,� she said. Mining’s economic and financial foundations provide the ways and means for careers and jobs, educaion, access to health care, food, shelter and child care, Brino said. “We can’t be a responsible country or a responsible society if we don’t ensure we have the right elements,� she said to the luncheon audience at Northwest Community College. And with B.C.’s mineral rich environment, mixed with environmentally and socially responsible business practices, and government approval, those elements can be created she said. In 2010, the mining sector contributed $8.9 billion to the province’s

Of that total, more than 8,000 were at mine sites. The mining sector includes not only full operational mines, but exploration as well. In the last 18 years, only one mine has received the necessary string of approvals to reach full operation, she said. There are as many as 11 mineral properties in northern BC at one stage or another of exploration, advanced exploration and environmental approval. Collectively, their combined capital cost

would be approximately $18 billion. “You’re looking at ... in excess of 6,000 jobs,� said Brino. “How do we actually deal with some of the socio economic issues we have in our community? The best way to do that is by providing opportunities for them.� The mineral developments include Red Chris, Galore Creek, Kitsault, Telsequah Chiefm Kutcho Creek, Schaft Creek, Turnagain, Mount Klappan, Morrison and KSM. With the construction of the Northwest Transmission Line up Hwy37 North, mineral development becomes more feasible because of the availability of reliable power.
As a separate development, the refitting of Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat aluminum smelter is costing $3.3 billion. Brino said mining sector jobs pay more than the median family income which in BC in 2009 was $66,700. But she also said a profitable mining sector does face the challenges of lengthy environmental and other reviews, complex First Nations, finding an available and trained workforce and having sufficient railways, ports and power. It’s a balance to get there, and that process will take acknowledging shortcoming while having the courage to overcome them, she said. Companies need to subscribe to a set of guiding principals, supported by performance, and indicators which companies can measure to and report annually. These indicators include First Nations and community outreach, biodiversity, health and safety, tailings management, energy management, crisis communications, closure and water management. “We need to have conversations about how we are going to do it, instead of if we are going to do it,� said Brino. The luncheon was sponsored by the City of Terrace, Imperial Metals and the Mining Association of BC.

Mine eyes power line A MINING company wants to combine efforts with BC Hydro to deliver power up Hwy37 North. The proposal by Imperial Metals would deliver power to its Red Chris copper mine property and power to residents of the Iskut area which is now served by diesel generators. Both Red Chris and Iskut are to be connected to the provincial grid thanks to BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line which is to stretch 344km from Terrace to a substation at Bob Quinn on Hwy37 North. The Red Chris property is located approximately 100km north of Bob Quinn to Tatogga Lake and then 20km to the east. Iskut is another 16km north of Tatogga Lake along the highway. Imperial is ready to build its own Red Chris line of 138kv in size to the Bob Quinn substation but given BC Hydro’s plans for a line to Iskut, combining projects would benefit all
Byng Giraud concerned, says Imperial Metals official Byng Giraud. “It doesn’t really make sense to build a little line all that distance,� said Giraud who is vice president of operations for Imperial Metals, of the BC Hydro line. What might be feasible is a larger line to handle both Red Chris and iskut, he continued. “So now, suddenly, there are people saying maybe we should build 287kv all the way to Tatogga,� said Giraud. From Tatogga a sepa-
rate line would branch off to the Red Chris property while the line from Bob Quinn would continue up to the Iskut area. BC Hydro has to provide power to Iskut as a condition of receiving $130 million from the federal government to help pay for the Northwest Transmission Line which is estimated to cost $561 million. The crown corporation estimates the cost of running its own smaller line from Bob Quinn to Iskut at $117 million. Giraud said the Imperial Metals contribution to a combined line would be the dollar value of what it would cost to build its own line to service Red Chris. “It’s going to cost us no mater what,� said Giraud. Although there’s no decision yet on what will happen, Imperial Metals has consistently said it wants to be the first customer to buy power from the Northwest Trans-
mission Line which is scheduled to be finished by mid-2014. Its now in the final stages of receiving permits to officially start construction of its Red Chris copper mine. BC Hydro must provide power to Iskut within a year of the completion of the Northwest Transmission Line as part of its obligation to the federal government. For the time being, Giraud said Imperial is in discussions with BC Hydro and with the Tahltan Central Council about various options to run power north of Bob Quinn. But the company’s idea of building its own line to Bob Quinn has also taken a more concrete form with an application to the provincial government for environmental approval for either a 138kv line or 287kv line. That application was received by the province in February and is now being reviewed.

Tahltan are leery of mine Red Chris is considered a remote location by Imperial Metals and its workers will rotate in and out of the property. Red Chris received federal and environmental approval several years ago and Imperial has been working on acquiring permits since then. In a statement responding to the Tahltan Central Council opposition to the project, the province said it has been speaking with the Tahl-
tan about the project. “The collaboration between the company, the Tahltan and the BC government does not end with the issuance of these permits but will continue over the life of the project,� said the province. It said a monitoring committee made up of the province, First Nations and the company will be established. It was not immediately known if the Tahltan are
sitting on the monitoring committee. “Decisions like this, which don’t appropriately take our interests into account, undermine our trust in the province and make it extremely difficult to work together. We will have to look at all options going forward,� said McPhee in her statement. Unlike other industrial developments within Tahltan traditional territory, such as the run of
river projects being built by Alberta-based AltaGas on the Iskut River, Imperial Metals does not have an impacts benefits with the Tahltan. Although Red Chris did receive federal environmental approval, the Supreme Court of Canada subsequently ruled the approval was based on a limited examination of the development. But the court also ruled the development could continue. Imperial metals will be talking with the Tahltan about its position. “We plan to contact the Tahltan as soon as possible to discuss this matter,� said Imperial Metals’ vice president of operations Byng Giraud.

Officer pleads guilty to assault AN ASSAULT trial against a local police officer stationed at the RCMP detachment ended almost as soon as it began when the officer pleaded guilty May 2. After Terrace RCMP Const. Robert Hull pleaded guilty, Judge Agnes Krantz adjourned court to fix a date for sentencing. Hull was charged with assault for punching an intoxicated woman when she was in the police cell block here. The woman was in custody after being
arrested outside a local night club Oct. 17, 2010. Reports indicated that Hull was trying to calm the intoxicated woman when she allegedly kicked him in the groin and he punched her in the face. An RCMP Internal Code of Conduct Investigation and a criminal investigation were launched and the findings were forwarded to prosecutors who laid the assault charge against Hull Feb. 23, 2011, said police in a press release
at that time. Staff Sgt. Robert Pritchett, acting Terrace RCMP detachment commander, said last week Hull was initially on administrative duty when the police code of conduct investigation was ongoing but went back to active duty when the investigation was completed in February 2011. “Constable Hull was found to be in breach of the RCMP Act and did receive discipline for that,” said Pritchett, adding he believed it
was a breach for disgraceful conduct. “Just to point out: we are accountable as police officers for our actions,” said Pritchett. “Where there is allegations of misconduct, we fully investigate them and if there is evidence to suggest a criminal act has been made, we fully co-operate with Crown Counsel and forward all materials to them for assessment.” Pritchett couldn’t say specifically how Hull was disciplined. The range includes a

verbal or written reprimand to loss of pay and, in extreme situations, dismissal. A disciplinary measure takes into account the officer’s history, performance record, if there’s been past discipline and the discipline someone else in the similar situations received. The incident remains in the officer’s permanent personnel file, Pritchett said. Hull will be sentenced in court at a later date.

AN 18-YEAR-OLD Terrace woman has been given a $500 reward for finding a wallet containing $2,000 in cash at the Walmart McDonald’s last week. McDonald’s employee Chera Daigneault found the wallet sitting on a table near the window, picked it up, and looked inside. “I brought it to my manager right away,� she said. She, two other employees and the manager each counted the cash before locking the wallet and its contents into the store safe. Chera said she didn’t think anything of returning the wallet with all the cash inside. “It’s policy,� she said. “Why wouldn’t I? I didn’t even think about it.� But the man who’s wallet she found did think something about her actions. After the wallet was given to the RCMP and its owner was located,
he sought Daigneault out to thank her. “He told me there were things in the wallet he couldn’t replace,� Daigneault explained, noting medical information he needed among other things. “I didn’t want to take it, but he insisted it was a gift,� she said of the reward the man provided. The money will come in handy when Daigneault moves to Alberta to attend a nursing school later this year. “I’m so glad we found it and someone didn’t take his money because that would have been awful,� she said. Terrace RCMP Constable Angela Rabut said it took a bit of effort on the part of officers to return the wallet. The man lives in Rosswood and does not have a phone, she said. The wallet was delivered to the Rosswood General Store and the man contacted them from there, Rabut add-
ed. A second wallet that was lost was also turned into the detachment last week and safely returned to its owner. “All we had was a fax/phone number so the officer sent a fax and the woman came to the detachment and said she received a fax,� said Rabut of the wallet’s owner. “People are really very good,� said Rabut of the safe return of the two wallets to their owners.

lug nuts on her wheels had been loosened. The second incident was April 30 when a vehicle left Boston Pizza around 10:15 p.m. After a short time, the driver and passengers heard rattling and stopped to investigate. They discovered that the lug nuts on the wheels of their vehicle had been

Council refuses re-zoning bid on bench FOLLOWING A public hearing April 23, Terrace’s city council turned down a request that could have led to a new subdivision up on the bench. Despite the city’s official plan enabling such development, council wasn’t willing to pass a bylaw that could have led to an additional roughly $15,000 in tax revenue yearly for the divided lots, and more once houses were built. The main reason was neighbours’ protests of the nine acre parcel at 5034 McConnell Ave., springing from a debate about density in an area with large acreages. Skipping back to March 19, the city received an application to amend zoning from RR1, which is for rural residential uses, to R1, which is designated for one-family residential. It was from Emil Wirtl, owner of Wirtl Construction and the property at 5034 McConnell Ave. As the parcel was designated for neighbourhood residential in the city’s long-term community plan, the rezone seemed appropriate, according to a city report. The recent installation of a sewer main along McConnell Ave. opened the possibility for developing the area. Proposed development plans included dividing the property into 16 to 20 lots proposed at 800 sq. metres, and extending Cory Drive north of McConnell Ave. and a temporary cul-de-sac. Development could only have occurred on part of the lot, as the north part was subject to infilling happening first on other areas of the bench. After the bylaw passed its first two rounds, it went to a public hearing after the community was notified. Protests came from neighbours David and Marsha Cater of 5104 McConnell Ave. In a letter to council, the Caters wrote, “We believe it is a ‘done deal’ with no consideration to current residents as the OCP (official community plan) has designated this area as a future R1 zone. As taxpayers and current residents, we believe we deserve some consideration because not all of our properties will be able to change from RR1 to R1.” Ultimately, the Ca-
ters contested that when they purchased their home it was with the intent of living in a rural area and that high density zoning would change the look of the street considerably, that they’d be willing
to compromise on Wirtl splitting the lot into two acre sized lots as permitted by current zoning, and that the re-zone ultimately be refused. Wirtl’s neighbours, who own 5028, added their input: Wayne Kir-
by asked that the subdivision be done in a way that would allow for a subdivision on the north side of their lot in future, and Sandra Kirby protested that the integrity of the area’s appeal would be compromised
without adequate planning to prevent it. Council members then debated the bylaw. “Neighbours did buy with the intention of a rural area,” said councillor Stacey Tyers, and councillor James Cord-
eiro agreed. “I will be going against this motion,” added mayor Dave Pernarowski, “and that’s a tough decision because it does fall within our (official community plan).” He
noted that while development would bring in more money, he did not favour it due to neighbour opposition. City planner David Block contested the decision but did not sway council’s final vote.
Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising. On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*
What does this mean for you? 54 or older as of March 31, 2012
You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65
53 or younger as of March 31, 2012
The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029
Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.

The number of working-age Canadians per senior is decreasing, placing additional pressure on the OAS program.

Kiva closing at college NORTHWEST COMMUNITY College is ending its lease arrangements with the operators of the Kiva cafe located in the college’s trades building. The decision ends nearly 10 years of having a private operator manage what had previously been a collegerun food and beverage facility. College officials aren’t yet saying what they will do with the space although it is understood there will continue to be a food and beverage facility in the space. “We haven’t gotten to the final stage of that,” said college president Denise Henning of what will exactly happen next. “We just know we need the space.” She did say that whatever happens will be something that is “more appropriate student space” and called changes at the location part of an overall assessment of college activities. The Kiva is set to close within the next three weeks. “It wasn’t just a coffee shop,” said part owner and operator Elaine Sanchez. In its time, the Kiva has hosted student rallies, election night parties, birthday parties, local and regional bands, film and video nights and even an appearance by the late Jack Layton. Its squash courts

Sanchez said she fought to keep the space open, but was unsuccessful. “They were firm,” she said of college officials. Sanchez said she often offered space free for community groups.
NOTICE The Regional District of KitimatStikine wishes to advise its
Thornhill Water System customers that a flushing procedure will be carried out
“Morally I could never justify trying to squeeze a buck out of people who didn’t have a buck to give,” she said. Sanchez said what fuelled her, and what made her love her job, was offering an atmosphere dedicated to health on many levels.
“You’re promoting a healthy atmosphere with sports, community, music,” she said. “How am I going to find a space with this? There is nowhere for the Kiva to move.” With a philosophy that involved giving, Sanchez noted that her
primary goal wasn’t about making money from the space. Despite this, things were starting to turn up. “This was the first year I thought I could come out ahead,” she said. “I was getting hopeful.” And despite feeling the loss of a life and dream built, Sanchez said she is looking forward, and has faith that good things will come. “One door closes, another door opens,” she said. In the meantime, Northwest Community College Students’ Union organizer Mikael Jensen said the union has been making the argument that students should have full and free access to the Kiva space. “This is the largest campus of the college with the most students and there is no studentrun space,” he said. The students’ union has been able to stage events in the Kiva but has had to pay the Kiva’s operators, a situation Jensen said is wrong given that the space is in a college owned and operated building. “What that really is is the privatization of a public space,” he said. A formal request by the students’ union to take over the Kiva space has been denied but Jensen says the college is going to offer the union space elsewhere on campus.

Mourning
BE GOMES and Michele Freethy, both from the Kitimat Terrace and District Labour Council, were some of those who came out despite the rain for the Day of Mourning at the memorial site near the Terrace Sportsplex April 28. The day is in recognition of those who were killed while on the job. The ceremony here was attended by a number of people, including Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin and the RCMP.
Police warn bad drivers
May is aggressive driving month in British Columbia and local RCMP will be targeting aggressive drivers to to help make streets safer, said an RCMP press release last week. Aggressive driving includes: speeding, excessive speeding (41 kph+ over the posted speed limit), unsafe lane change or weaving in and out of traffic, rolling through stop signs, failing to stop for yellow or red light and fail to yield. These behaviors often lead to frustrated drivers and could result in a serious injury/fatal collision or a road rage incident. This May, police will direct resources towards addressing aggressive drivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those who drive aggressively, now is the time to make the choice to change,â&#x20AC;? says Sgt. Pam Scott of the West Pacific Region Traffic Services.

He wants us to bike to work A LOCAL biking enthusiast has an offer no one can refuse – have at least five co-workers sign up from one place of business to take part in Bike to Work Week and he’ll come by and give their bikes an inspection. “I’ll check their brake pads to see if they are worn and need replacing, see if their chain needs to be oiled, check their seat,” says Chris Gee from the nonprofit Skeena Bicycle Service. “What’s more – I’ll come to your workplace.” It’s Gee’s way of encouraging increased participation in Bike to Work Week which runs from May 28 to June 3. The geography of the area lends itself to making biking not only enjoyable as a recreation but viable as transportation method to and from work, says Gee. “We have large flat areas and relatively small hills,” he said.
“Overall this is a very bikeable community. Beyond the occasional rain, there’s not much to keep someone from biking eight months of the year.” If you wear a helmet, have a jacket and wear gloves, you can be very comfortable and dry as a bone when you get to work.” “Biking is a great way to beat the high cost of gas and everybody is thinking of living healthier nowadays.” Gee’s even convinced, given the right circumstances, that a person on a bike can get to a location quicker than a person in a vehicle. He’s particularly happy with the improvements the city has made in recent years by marking bike lanes and boosting biking’s visibility and says it’s paying off because he’s noticing an increase in two-wheel traffic. “By putting in bike lanes, that increases

Joe Mandur Sr., one of a core group of divers who founded the water rescue team component of the Terrace Search and Rescue organization, is being honoured with a lifetime achievement award. There’s to be an official ceremony in Victoria at the end of the month. Mandur was nominated by Terrace Search and Rescue. “We were looking for a way to honour Joe,” said Nici DeCario, the communications officer for search and rescue. DeCario and other search and rescue members wrote letters and provided documentation and photos of Mandur’s involvement with the water rescue team. The provincial government recognizes volunteers annually for their efforts in providing emergency services in B.C.

I
have had a number of short-term jobs, that is true. A summer here, a season or project there, but the shortest job I ever had was just under 1.5 hours. I was a Telemarketer for a charitable organization in Nova Scotia, and because I was 10 minutes late the first day, I missed over half of the training. At about the 20-minute mark, the training was over, we had our scripts and phone lists. Ten minutes later, I came to understand this was not the job for me, not for a year, not for a month, not even for the rest of the morning. I wanted to catch the eye of my trainer/supervisor/shift manager, so that took a few minutes, as there were about 20 of us New Trainees working the phones in the room. At about 9:40 I gained her attention. I wanted to leave asap, but not in a big huff, just to vamoose into the wilderness from whence I came. “When is the break?” I asked her. She was about 12 years old. No – she was younger than me, that’s all. She appeared to be astounded by my question: “You just started!” she replied. “Yes, I know that,” I said, and asked her the second time. “When is the break?” After I asked her the same question the second time, she said, “10:30.” I said, “Thanks, good to know,” and at 10:31 I advised her, “I quit, and I would like to donate all my earnings to this charitable organization.” She seemed shocked, astounded for the second time in an hour. Later in life and at work, I might ask a question and get the reply, “I have no

Asking Twice idea.” For example, I might ask, “About how much did that cost?” and the answer is, “I have no idea.” Then I ask, “Was it one thousand dollars?” And the answer is, “NO! No way, nowhere near that high.” Then I might ask, “Was it ten dollars?” and then they might say, “Are you kidding? Not THAT low!” Then they finally say, “It was about $150.” Alright then. Just asking – three times. I phone a place of business and a female voice answers. I ask, “Is this Tammy?” I get the answer, “No it isn’t.” I wait, wondering if she will offer to fetch Tammy. Or will she say nothing more, and make me ask twice. Is she gonna do

it? Is she gonna make me ask, “May I speak to Tammy?” Yes, yes, she is. “Don’t walk backwards,” I said to my kid, about one thousand times – so far. “Don’t forget your lunch,” I told him twice a day, every school day morning, for about 10 years (4,000 times, approximately, give or take the Modified School Year). “Right. Thanks, mom.” But if I ask him something he has already told me, like, “Which kid is having the birthday party this weekend?” or later, “When is your shift?” he is very likely to say, “I told you already!” (with eye roll or shoulder sag or both.) Well, Heavens to Mergatroid, you told me already? You can’t tell me twice or three times or maybe four thousand times? Now, here is my problem with I Told You Already: some human has made an error. It could be the asker: maybe he did tell me, but I forgot or the phone rang just then or a cat puked at the same time. My mistake. I own it. But maybe, just maybe, he meant to tell me, but he told his dad, or he wrote it down but put the note in his pocket instead of on the kitchen table. The point being the asker is lacking the information, while the askee is refusing to provide it. Or if not outright refusing, postponing telling it. Getting a bit of a dig in first. Chastising the asker, perhaps to encourage the asker to never ask a question more than once, or not to ask a question you MAYBE might have asked already, lest you get the eye roll shoulder sag combo. Forget that noise: if I tell people things four thousand times, I am totally asking twice.

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!

Family gives back to school with sport A GROUP of siblings has been making a difference in the lives of youngsters for years as youth coaches at Suwilaawks Community School. Steven Kunar, 21, has been coaching basketball at the school for five years. His sister Selena, 18, has been coaching at the school for seven, and little brother Ryan, 13, just finished his first year as an assistant coach to his sister in volleyball and his brother in basketball. “I had good coaches when I was younger, I wanted to be a good role model,” says Steven on why he got into coaching at the school. Selena’s opinions were similar – giving back and helping younger kids learn. “The learning, and the looks on their faces, that is what keeps me going,” said Selena, who has coached volleyball, basketball and badminton for the school. For Ryan, it was his first year as a coach and he plans to pick up where his brother and sister leave off, as both ready to leave Terrace next year to continue their studies. “It’s fun just talking with the kids,” Ryan said, explaining as he himself just learned many of the skills taught in practice, he is able

Recently the Grade 6 and 7 boys and girls basketball
teams tipped off on a yearender competition – Steven and Ryan coaching the boy’s team and Selena coaching the girls.
Selena said they talk amongst each other about coaching tips and tricks to try to help each other out. “We all play on an even
playing field, we are all very respectful,” Selena said. Steven and Ryan had a successful season on the courts as their boys basket-
ball team went undefeated. Selena said her girls team also had a good season, with about two losses. As all three coaches are graduates of Suwilaawks, where their father attended as well, they say there is a strong connection to the school. Vice-principal Roberta Clarke said that elementary sports coaches can be hard to find. “The Kunars have never once turned us down,” Clarke said, adding they ‘didn’t even bat an eyelash’ before saying yes to helping out this year. “They are setting a huge example, a positive one for young people in our community.” The Kunars’ mother, Rav, was also a presence at Suwilaawks this year, stopping by practices with treats or oranges or taking time off work to drive students to basketball games. She encouraged other high school-aged students to head back to their elementary schools and lend a hand in sports. “They (elementary aged students) really need someone that is in high school they can look up to as a role model, and I think that is what these kids have done for them,” said Rav Kunar.
Rugby gears up for start of new season TERRACE’S NORTHMEN are getting ready for a season filled with travelling to tournaments, games, practices, fun and camaraderie. The local rugby team, which is open for anyone over the age of 18 who wants to join — both men and women — has started to hit the field outdoors to practise for the first tournament of its season. “We’re about 20 strong,” said co-coach Mike Homeniuk, who is newly sharing the role this year with Jarryd Kurisu. May long weekend will see the team travelling to Edmonton for three days to take part in Edmonton Rugby Fest. With two tiers of competition, the team will be competing in the social bracket as opposed to the elite. “The social side is ... guys who just want to go out and tear it up,” said Adam Linteris, who is on his fourth season playing with the team. “I don’t think I’ve played a sport where there is as much camaraderie as there is in rugby, everyone’s just a great big family out there. It’s super fun.” The Terrace team is made up of players from all skill levels, from those who have played at high levels to those who are out to have a good time, he said.
“Everybody’s welcome,” he said. “If you come out and you enjoy the sport, then come out and play.” The team plans to travel outside the region for at least three of its tournaments this year: Rugby Fest in Edmonton on May long weekend, the Purple Haze tournament in Kamloops on the third weekend of August, and a mystery tournament where only the coaches know the location. “We bring some money and some clothes and jump on a bus and go,” said Linteris. Homeniuk said it is only he and a few others who know where the team will end up, adding the team will be also playing in Prince Rupert, and possibly in Prince George in October. They will also host their own tourney here during Riverboat Days, he said. Aside from tournaments, games to be played haven’t been scheduled officially yet. There are a few things that make the team stand out from others, said Homeniuk. “Usually your forwards are slow, (but) we’ve got a light but powerful and fast forward pack,” he said. “Our backs, we’ve got a lot of diversity. We actually have a very talented team.”

Drag racers in gear for season MAY IS here and the 2012 Drag racing season opens this month with the first of four races at the Terrace Regional Airport. Race dates will be: May 12 and 13 - Season Opener June 16 and 17 - Summer Classics August 4 and 5 - Hot August Nites Sept. 1 and 2 - Season Ender All dates are Saturday and Sunday except for the Hot August Nites race, which will run Sunday and Monday. So circle those dates on your calendar. Along with the usual cast of great looking fast cars, expect to see some new cars showing up at the track this season. So if you see smoke coming from the airport on these dates, it’s not a fire, just some hot cars burning down the airport 1/8 mile track. Those who race and those who help organize the races appreciate the enthusiasm and support shown by the spectators and the sponsors who make drag racing a reality in the part of the northwest.

ll planning that precedes logging should begin with the smallest streams and wetlands and move outward. The logic of operating this way is imperative. Water is fundamental. We’re largely made from it. We can’t exist without it in its pure form. The forest can’t either. If loggers compromise the water courses in the stands they seek to exploit, they compromise the health of the forest by reducing its diversity. Forestry practices that treat streams and wetlands with respect acknowledge that there other values in the woods besides wood, and, that they make for healthier and more economically valuable forests in the long-term. Hydrologically sensitive forest practices lead inevitably to selective cutting and small clearcuts. They also require that the large trees – more often than not the largest trees in the forest – have to be spared the chop because they provide stability to the life giving waterways while providing vital habitat to creatures that dwell in the water, ground, and air. All but a minute portion of the logging that has taken place in this province has given streams their due. Instead, corporate logging has held sway. Corporate logging treats wilderness like farmland. Clear cutting and replanting naked seedlings are all the rage because the goal of large forest corporations is to cut high grade then move on, leaving gargantuan clearcuts in their

vented lake dwellers from ruining the littoral zone on lakes. It forbade farmers and real estate developers from draining ponds and wetlands vital to fish. Section 35 saved countless fish bearing waterways from ravages of industrial development. Now, the Regressive Conservatives, want to remove those habitat protections from the act, and they are burying the changes in an Omnibus Bill C-38 to stifle debate. The new rules would permit dumping of mine wastes in some lakes, exempt many smaller bodies of water from existing protection, and weaken protection for others. Together with the weakening of environmental review processes, this move is blatant declaration by the feds that they intend to remove as many hurdles as possible for the folks at Enbridge and fast track the approval of the oil/solvent pipeline through the rugged Rockies, the Coast Range, and the Great Bear Rainforest. Since the construction of this pipeline will lead to increased tanker traffic through the perilous waters of our rugged coastline, Harper and his entourage obviously support this development as well. Put simply, the current government would like to turn Canada into a petrostate. Every petrostate has a potentate (and most, as recent history clearly demonstrates, are unsavoury characters). Stephen Harper’s actions suggest that he sees Canada as such a state with himself, a kind of white bread oil sheik, as its grand poobah.

NDP caucus opposes Enbridge pipeline THE PROVINCIAL NDP caucus has written and signed a letter detailing its opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline and has sent it to the National Energy Board Joint Review Panel (JRP), which will decide whether the project will go ahead. The three northwest NDP MLAs – North Coast MLA Gary Coons, Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson and Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin – have already made their opposition to the project known but this letter is significant, said Austin. “This is significant because it’s signed by every member of the NDP caucus, including [opposition leader] Adrian Dix,” he said. The 11-page letter raises a number of issues, including the importance of sustainable economic development, risks outweighing benefits and oil spill impact plus two pages of footnotes and a page with all 35 caucus member signatures on it. The caucus’ main concerns are: Tanker traffic will put the B.C. coastline at serious risk of environmental and economic damage from potential oil spills; The pipeline will
cross remote and highly valued areas of B.C. and almost 800 streams, putting valuable environments and species, such as salmon, at risk; The impact of an oil leak or spill would be more severely felt by First Nation communities; Greenhouse gas emissions generated by pipeline-related oil sands development will contribute to the economic, environmental and social costs of climate change; The pipeline provides few long-term and sustainable economic benefits for B.C.; And the pipeline is forecast to increase Canadian oil prices for Canadian consumers. The letter urged the province to represent the interests of British Columbians, arguing that while interprovincial pipelines and marine transportation might be federal jurisdiction, it is B.C.’s responsibility to stand up for its residents at every opportunity. “We are very concerned that the province has not used its full power to do this,” read the letter. It pointed at the Joint Review Panel, which the province agreed to, saying that by doing so the province limited its power to stand up to the
project. It also said that even after allowing the panel, the province could have taken on intervenor status which would then allow it to make a case before the board including facts and opinions about the project. The Alberta government, its transportation
ministry, the federal department of Indian Affairs, Northern Affairs, the federal justice department, Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Natural Resources Canada and Transport Canada all have taken the option of playing an active role in the hearings.
