Vandals limit cemetery access A STRING of vandalism incidents has forced the city to lock the vehicle gates to its cemetery on the Kalum Lake Road. “Things were getting destroyed, some of the plots are getting destroyed,” said Carmen Didier, the city official who manages the cemetery. “Plots have been tampered with, some quite seriously.” One of the more serious incidents involved someone digging holes in the ground at one of the grave sites. “On April the 14th we received a report of a disturbed grave,” said Const. Angela Rabut of Terrace RCMP. “A couple of holes were dug.” Rabut said that the holes were roughly one foot deep each, and that the extent of the damage was some moved dirt. She said it is unknown when the event happened, as it could have been prior to snowfall. The city has since locked the vehicle gates

ARLENE RIDLER is upset that the cemetery’s vehicle gate is now locked. to its cemetery, leaving open the pedestrian walk-through gate, citing vandalism as the primary reason for the decision.
“There are also a few more issues at the cemetery that have contributed to this change in practice,” said Didier.
“These being that people have been installing their own headstones that do not comply with cemetery headstone size regulations,” she explained. City regulations state that headstones must be installed by city staff and be of a certain size or dimension, Didier said, adding all above ground ornamentation on plots require authorization and permit. The city will issue the permits. A local resident who has two children buried in the city’s cemetery said that locking the drive-in gates has an unfortunate consequence. Arlene Ridler said the locked gates are keeping seniors and those with mobility issues from visiting loved ones. Recently, one of Ridler’s children that is buried there had a birthday, and Ridler’s mother-in-law went to visit the gravesite.

Bike effort grows on local streets DR. DAVID Bowering talks about one aspect of biking that may not be immediately apparent. “The more people that bike, the safer it gets,” he says. That’s because the more people that do bike, their visibility increases as does awareness on the part of motorists. And as more people bike, the more governments will do to provide bike lanes and other methods to make two-wheeled travel safer and more efficient. Bowering advocates people setting personal goals of, for example, reducing their use of an automobile by 20 per cent over the course of a year. “The automobile is the unrecognized disease agent of modern times,” he said in pointing out that it’s simply too easy to use a car and avoid walking or cycling to get from one place to another. Bowering’s comments come just before Bike to Work Week, May 28-June 3, in which people are being encouraged to take their bike to work at least once. Bowering himself has a late-1980s Giant that’s been reconditioned and regularly bikes to his job as the Northern Health Authority’s Northwest
Medical Health Officer. Doug Quibell, the health authority’s manager in charge of public health protection in the region, will also be cycling to work next week. He emphasizes the healthy aspects of cycling to increase or maintain a level of physical fitness and also to reduce stress. “If you don’t use it, you’re going to lose it,” says Quibell of exercise. He notes that 150 minutes of exercise a week is considered the standard to keep a body in good physical condition and that biking is one way to meet that commitment. Quibell’s list of conditions that can arise because of a sedentary lifestyle include risk of premature death, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, some cancers, Type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and obesity. More information on Bike to Work Week can be found at www.biketowork.ca. Members of Terrace city council will be cycling to the May 28 council meeting as their contribution toward Bike to Work Week.
Corrections A MAY 16 story regarding a statement given by Walter Fricke at the federal Joint Review Panel’s hearings at Kitsumkalum two weeks ago contained some wrong information. Mr. Fricke was not, and never was, a fishing guide. And he does not own a boat and he has never fished from a boat on the river.

“I do use my canoe on the lakes and wear my waders when fishing the rivers but that is my limit,” writes Mr. Fricke in an email note. As well, a May 16 story regarding an award won by Yvonne Nielsen incorrectly stated she was injured while riding a bike. In fact, Ms. Nielsen was injured in a car accident.

Ksan House wants cents Meal & Deal Menu
THE FEDERAL government may have moved to eliminate the penny but it still has value at the Ksan House Society. The society has started a penny drive to buy food for its transition house residents. The society hasn’t had an increase to the transition house’s food budget in more than 10 years. “We have the busiest transition house in B.C. Last year 585
distinct individuals stayed here. We feed 16 women and children every day – most nights we have to limit portions,� said a statement from the society this week. Local resident Danny Sheridan got the idea for the penny drive following the federal government’s decision to stop making the coin as a budget measure. As a first contribution to the drive, Sheridan delivered a plas-
tic bucket and a cloth shopping bag full of pennies to Ksan’s building last week. “What’s best is you don’t have to count them or roll them. You can just bring them in,� he said. Volunteers at Ksan House will do the rolling and society executive director Carol Sabo said it will provide a tax receipt if wanted. The Ksan building is at 4838 Lazelle Ave.

BUSINESS REVIEW Local centre helps people find jobs here THE JOB of helping people find jobs continues to shift in B.C. Once the preserve of the federal government through agencies such as Canada Employment Centres, matching people with jobs has now almost completely fallen to the provincial government and it has contracted out the task to companies throughout the province. In Terrace and area, that job as of this year is being done by a local firm, Northwest Training Ltd., under the name WorkBC from offices on Greig Ave. It’s not a completely new task for Northwest Training but the focus has expanded, says Lynn Hughes, one of the principals of Northwest Training. “What the province has done is take all of its employment programs and has put them under one umbrella, WorkBC,” said Hughes. Northwest Training has had contracts for some of those programs and now, with WorkBC, it has either taken on others or struck partnerships with other agencies to handle specific tasks. “We had been doing 75 per cent of this work already,” Hughes said. The list of services now under Northwest Training’s WorkBC effort include items as basic as faxing resumes to

LYNN HUGHES, left, and Lorna Sandhals are looking after a streamlined provincial employment assistance system through the locally-based Northwest Training. learning how to write resumes to providing short or longer term training. Another Northwest Training official, Lorna Sandhals, said the emphasis is providing a direct as possible connec-
tion between someone who needs assistance and the assistance itself. Having Northwest Training being involved already in employment assistance has helped, she added.
“We know what the client needs are here,” Sandhals noted. “It’s nice to be able to make a decision and do what’s needed for our clients.” As an entity, North-
west Training has been in existence since 1989, two years after its sister agency, Northwest Counselling was formed. The staffing complement numbers 16 and
Northwest Training has a five-year contract with the provincial government for WorkBC. The contract is directly with the province and its length allows for stability and quality as-
surance, say Sandhals and Hughes. Previous contracts have been through southern-based companies who in turn had contracts with the province.
Skilled job training to increase with industry A PROVINCIAL agency that helps train people for skilled jobs expects to work closely with Northwest Community College as industrial activity increases in the region. The Industry Training Authority (ITA) spent $1.5 million at the college last year in helping finance apprenticeship training at the college. It hasn’t settled on a dollar value for this year but anticipates growing interest in trades training as employment opportunities open up, says Kevin Evans, its chief executive officer. “Last year we were involved in eight technical training programs taking up 482 seats,” he said. “The key is we have to have the employers who have the employees and then we find the money [for the training],” Evans added. And while most of the attention has been
focused on large-scale companies moving into the northwest, Evans said the training authority tends to work more closely with smaller companies who have hired apprentices. In particular, Evans said the authority is acutely aware of the need to train northerners for trades openings in the region. “We’d like this to be of the north, in the north and for the north,” Evans added of general plans to increase skill levels in the region. But he did acknowledge the need to bring in those workers who have the kinds of specific skills required by companies. “Even if we could train everyone in the area, there would still not be enough workers. There will have to be a balanced approach,” Evans continued of the need to bring in outside workers. Overall, a provincial study predicting top
employment demands for the next decade in the northwest suggest that 570 non-automotive machinery and transportation equipment mechanics, 550 carpenters and cabinetmakers and 510 heavy equipment operators will be needed to replace people who are retiring or to fill new positions. In examining requirements for 15 trades in the northwest, the study estimated that 3,600 people will be needed to replace retiring workers or to fill new positions over the next decade. Generally speaking, the authority helps finance the operating costs of an institution’s training programs and it can provide money directly to students depending upon their individual circumstances. Evans said assistance to students includes people who are not eligible for Employment Insurance. The goal is to ensure people have the op-
portunity to gain the kind of skills needed leading up to the pre-apprenticeship phase. “We don’t provide the capital to institutions. That’s more of the role of the advanced education ministry,” Evans cautioned. Evans did say the authority has an excellent working relationship with Northwest Community College. “We deal with 16 public and 23 private institutions,” said Evans. “The northwest is exceptionally well served by Northwest Community College from my experience.” He said the college’s regional network of campuses shows it understands the area and the needs of its residents. For its part, the college has been building up its trades programs over the past several years. It has, for example, applied to several federal agencies for up to $1.5 million to purchase heavy equipment simulators.

THIS YEAR’S Pacific Northwest Music Festival scholarship recipients include, from left, Nathan Closter, Sara Weeres, Andrew Johnstone, Rheann Armes and Saskia Hart.
Bravo music festival celebrates northwest talent THE 47TH Pacific Northwest Music Festival closed with one of the best galas in a long time, if not the best ever. That’s the word form emcee George Clark, who has been at the helm of gala night for many years. “It was all around a special evening. The pool of talent just seems to get bigger and bigger,” said Clark. “It was amazing when Rheann [Armes] performed. She wasn’t due to but, after the scholarship night, it was decided she should take part,” he added about the young singer’s comeback performance after a few years away from the festival. The gala night is without all the pressure of adjudication, he said. Clark said he spoke to a couple of the adjudicators and they seem to regard the music festival as one of the best festivals, which is due to the organizers. Music festival president Bonnie Juniper was very pleased. “The festival was amazing,” she said, adding the adjudicators were “top notch” and all were “very well received.” Vocal adjudicator Katherine van Kampen was so impressed
with everything she saw here that she returns this summer to teach a music theatre camp and is donating her entire chorale music library to Terrace. “It’s a wonderful legacy, It’s good for school choirs, church choirs,” said Juniper. “All the adjudicators commented on the non-competitive aspect of the festival. It’s always something they’re blown away by because our kids don’t just say ‘I did better than you,’ and ‘Here’s all my awards,’” said Juniper, adding the participants congratulate each other on their performances. “I’m really, really proud of that because that’s how I want music to be viewed,” Congratulations to the 47th Pacific Northwest Music Festival participants.

HERE ARE a number of basic considerations to think through before buying that lovely little fruit tree and adding it to your yard. 1. One of the first and most basic questions to ask is if you have adequate space for a fruit tree. Fruit trees can take up a lot of room. A mature cherry tree can grow to be 25 feet wide and 30 -35 feet tall while some apples trees can easily become more than 20 feet wide by 15-20 feet high. 2. A second basic consideration is to evaluate if you have adequate sun for a fruit tree. Quite simply fruit trees need full sun to grow properly and to properly ripen fruit. Here it is important to not only look at current sun levels but to also anticipate if future growth of surrounding trees will restrict sun levels. Also evaluate potential future building plans if they will also potentially restrict direct sunlight. 3. Realistically think through who will do the ongoing maintenance required of a fruit tree. Contrary to some lines of thinking, fruit trees are actually the most high maintenance tree you can add to your yard. Regular maintenance involves annual pruning each late winter to remove diseased, criss-crossed and damaged branches. Pruning also helps control the tree shape and allows sunlight to reach fruiting branches. 4. Another basic dimension of regular fruit tree maintenance is to regularly spray lime sulphur and dormant oil to kill overwintering fungi and potential disease problems. This is done in the late winter when you get at least 48 hours of at least 2 degrees above freezing and no rain. Dormant oil applications also help control overwintering caterpillar eggs and militate against black knot in plums and cherries as well. Tent caterpillars and leaf rollers, two other regular pests, can be controlled organically by spraying applications of BTK as the caterpillars start to show up. 5. If you are interested in cherry trees, be also mindful of the fact that cherries in the greater Terrace area now typically get cherry fruit fly. These little flies burrow into the immature green fruit and deposit eggs that hatch into a white larva that shows up in the ripe fruit. Controlling these little guys is not easy or cheap. If you want to control cherry fruit fly organically, you can put yellow sticky traps around the tree that can help some. The cost for these sticky traps should run around $15- $20 per full-sized tree. 6. Probably the biggest ongoing challenge to fruit growing in this area is the high potential of having bears in your fruit trees. While some areas that are more densely populated receive less bear pressure than others, these hungry animals can show up anywhere. Some people in high pressure areas who have grown weary of regular bear visits have reluctantly resorted to taking their fruit trees out. The most reliable method of controlling bears is to properly install an electric fence. Unfortunately that option does not always work for many people. 7. Fruit trees can make a lovely addition to many yards and if properly managed can bring years of enjoyment. Think through some of the potential challenges and if you conclude that fruit trees are a good choice, by all means plant and enjoy them. Charles Claus is a local businessman with several varieties of fruit trees at his residence River Mist Farm.

EDITORIAL
Jobs FIRST IT was provincial finance minister Kevin Falcon muttering about putting social assistance recipients on planes and flying them to the north to work. Now it’s his federal counterpart, Jim Flaherty, talking about changes to the Employment Insurance program which would seem to increase the requirements of recipients to find work. Both came under fire by some who believe what was being planned was either unworkable or amounted to forcing people to move. As Mr. Flaherty himself said, “There is no bad job. The only bad job is not having a job.” That said, both ministers seem to have forgotten about what happens when people from one area are faced with unemployment – they do tend to go elsewhere. There’s no better example than the northwest when, faced with the collapse of the woods industry, skilled workers began long distance commutes to places such as Fort McMurray where workers were being sought. The demands of travel and the strains of leaving families for weeks at a time cannot be easy. But now, with the prospect of an economic boom in the region, the prospect of commuting workers being able to find jobs here once again looms large. And that’s more than enough reason to think that the spring of 2012 is the start of a welldeserved northwest revival. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Biking is one of the good things in life
B
ike to Work Week didn’t exist when I began biking. Far from a designated week, our bike season began when our tires crunched the last ice over April puddles and extended into late September or early October when morning frost made riding to school without gloves and toques uncomfortable. Parents left it up to us to get ourselves back and forth to school ... unless the family vehicle happened to be going in our direction at the right time. Parents chauffeured their kids only to out-of-town events like a class visit to the Northwest Mounted Police Museum in North Battleford. We biked dirt or gravel roads in the evening, or on weekends, our distance limited only by our need for a drink of water on a hot summer day. We never carried water with us. Unless a farm dog barked, or a neighbour happened to notice us biking past, no one knew we were in the vicinity, something that can’t be said for dirt bikes or ATVs with their skull-pounding two stroke engines. Each bike had a thumboperated bell on the handlebar. We wore no safety gear.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Bleeding elbows or knees from falling off after slipping sideways on loose gravel was a worry, along with the risk of washboard vibrating our hands loose from the grips. I never heard of anyone hitting his head during a fall or riding headfirst into a tree as mountain bikers have been known to do. About 5 p.m. each afternoon one or two of us brought the cows home from the pasture, wobbling to keep our balance herding the slowmoving milkers. After supper on a windless night we might ride a mile east to toil up Rudy Blanchette’s steep hill for the brief thrill of speeding down.

flattering remarks from teens walking along as I rode past them, yet the bike serves me perfectly. At least I needn’t fear it might be stolen. Theft was never a concern while we attended Vawn country school where we biked two miles each way. We didn’t carry bicycle locks, didn’t need them, though not all kids owned bikes. But with only 42 of us in attendance, we all knew who owned which bike. If a kid had stolen a bike, his parents would have noticed, chewed him out, and sent him to return the stolen swag forthwith, something few parents would do today. They pretend they are blind to unauthorized belongings their kids bring home. Biking reduces commuter traffic and air pollution and saves gasoline. Healthwise, biking boosts the cardiovascular system, reduces stress, burns calories, builds leg muscles and improves bone density lessening the chance of fractures. Those benefits were never mentioned years ago, nor was the word “obesity”. Still, look at school or family photos taken during the l940s and l950s and you will rarely find an overweight kid.

The temperature graduated from warm to cold as the elevation changed. Throughout the downhill swoop you clamped your mouth shut or swallowed mosquitoes like a toad. On weekends we pedalled to bluffs in the fields or pasture where saskatoons or chokecherries hung ripe. In rat traps on the rear fender or wire baskets on the handlebars, we brought home to Mom honey or syrup pails filled with our juicy pickings for pies, pancake syrup or canning. My first bike, given to me secondhand when I was 12, was a single speed with a four inch sprocket; I had to pedal extra hard to keep up with my brother whose bike had an eight inch sprocket. By comparison my current bike with three speeds, only one of which I use, needs little effort especially as I ride on pavement not gravel. Like my first bike, this one is secondhand with high, curved handlebars similar to a Schwinn which allow me to sit up straight rather than leaning flat like Lance Armstrong.

The Mail Bag It’s a dance party at four-way stop
FILE PHOTO
Dear Sir: Living here for 18 years, I often wondered why they can’t put proper lights at the four-way stop in Thornhill. When things are working right it is like a ballet. But when someone does the Jive, The Hustle or The Hokey Pokey it’s like “Dancing with Stars” meets “I Think We Can Dance.” No-one seems to figure out what to do. They put in those rumble bumps and then they pave them over only to put them in again. Please. Who get’s more traffic? The four-way or Walmart. I feel sorry for the tourist who comes through and doesn’t understand the complex dance steps to get through the intersection. Surely the cost can’t be that great, there’s a highway cam there. Do we need it? Not sure. Someone let me know who to contact about this dancing nightmare and I will gladly voice my complaint. Myself I like to do the Rumba, not drive over the rumble bumps.

Dear Sir: I agree with Stephen Harper’s statement that the Northern Gateway project is a no brainer, he is right, only someone with no brain, would support this idea. To use precious water and the cleanest fuel known to man to extract one of the dirtiest fuels and then to ship it overseas without refining, boggles the mind. We are not doing this so I can put a little diesel in my Volkswagen, but instead we are planning to transport it across mountains and rivers and then ship it across the world to the good Communists in China.
Dear Sir: I’m appealing to the people who leave their garbage everywhere, except in the dump. Here is a nice little lane not too far from my home where I like to take my dog for a walk. It’s a gravel road,
and off this road shoots various trails through the woods. Now along this gravel road and throughout the woods I find household appliances, car parts, mattresses (a double - you know who you are), five-gallon plastic con-
tainers which once contained fluids of all sorts for your vehicle, tires (lots of tires), roofing shingles...I could go on forever. I asked the regional district years ago to clean up this area, which they did, even
though it’s apparently not a budgeted procedure, and it was most appreciated. It didn’t take long, however, for the bozos to start dumping their garbage again along this lovely little stretch of “beautiful” BC. My
concern is that when the Forceman Ridge dump opens, how much more garbage will we see in our communities? The Thornhill dump is a mere 10 minute drive from the area of which I speak.

Barring a miracle, the Liberals are finished
B
arring a colossal blunder by the New Democrats between now and next May’s election, the Liberals are going to be tossed out of office. Anticipating her candidates in the two recent byelections were going to get a drubbing, premier Christy Clark had prepared the ground by warning that a split right wing vote would let the socialist hordes in the door. And, superficially, she was proved correct in the case of the Chilliwack-Hope result. NDP candidate Gwen O’Mahony was elected with 41 per cent while the combined total for the Libs and BC Conservatives was 56 per cent. However, saying the split cost the Liberals the seat assumes that those who voted Conservative would, in the absence of a candidate from that party, have voted Liberal. I would suggest that is a desperate fiction. The presence of a BC Conservative candidate did indeed give disaffected Libs the chancey to register their protest at
the antics of the government. But if that avenue of sending a message to the government had not been available, there is little doubt those who had voted Liberal last time around would likely have gone with the alternative: stay at home on polling day. And in Port Moody-Coquitlam there was no such excuse: Joe Trasolini took a clear majority of the votes with 54 per cent - more than the Libs’ share in their 2009 victory. Granted by-elections are notorious for voters giving the governing party a kick in the pants when they know it won’t change who is in power, then reverting to their roots when push comes to shove in a general election. That isn’t going to happen this time. The wounds of the HST fiasco have not healed and the Liberals’ claim to be the great managers of the economy has been exposed as so much hokum. All they have proved is they do a great job of running the province when the economy is booming and are every bit as powerless as
GUEST COMMENT
MALCOLM BAXTER anyone else when it is not - hence the desperate HST cash grab. And then there is Clark herself. Unquestionably she has a radiant smile and wears a hard hat better than any politician I have ever met. But once you look past that, you see a light weight who shoots from the lip and is therefore too often prone to blunders when she strays from the script.
A glaring example was the occasion I interviewed her shortly after she unveiled her vaunted Jobs Plan. And, in all seriousness, held up truck driving as a career path for young British Columbians. Now, I have known a number of truck drivers over the years and there was no question they were good people who did a tough and important job. But realistically, most parents have higher ambitions for their offspring as do their children themselves. Frankly, the Jobs Plan was farcical - and desperate - from the outset as the premier tried to take credit for the potential LNG industry in Kitimat by boldly promising three plants being operational by 2020 when two were already well-advanced and there was a line-up forming of other potential developers. Few were fooled. The spin was also not helped much when, mere months after Clark had winged her way northward to do the photo opp for the re-opening of the Kitwanga sawmill, the plant was
closed. The Liberals have lost their way and they know it. The byelections were created by Liberal MLAs deciding they had better things to do, even finance minister Kevin Falcon is hemming and hawing about running again and a couple of members of the premier’s “team” recently announced they were abandoning ship to pursue “other opportunities”. Clearly these people recognise they are on the political equivalent of the Titanic - and they know how that story ends. But defeat could actually be a good thing for the Liberals. They’ll an opportunity to ditch the Queen of the Photo Opp, do some serious navel gazing and give them four years to rebuild the centre-right coalition - with particular emphasis on the centre. Do all that and they will likely be in good shape to regain power in 2017. Malcolm Baxter has recently retired from his position as editor of The Northern Sentinel in Kitimat.

NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK ALCOHOL AND BOATING CAN BE DEADLY Ahh, boating ! Skimming over the water with the wind in your hair. What a great way to spend a summer afternoon, especially with family and friends. A carefree atmosphere like this is just made to have fun and party. However, this partying should never include drinking alcohol. Mixing alcohol and boating can have tragic consequences. When the Canadian Safe Boating Council and SmartBoater. ca speak to Canadian boaters each year during Safe Boating Awareness Week, which runs from May 19th – 25th, 2012 and throughout the entire boating season about the dangers of alcohol and boating, there is no gentle way to say it. Being impaired while operating a boat can cost you thousands of dollars, or worse, turn a fun day into a deadly outing! ((OR A ONE WAY TRIP)) Federal statutes dictate that, whether or not your craft is motorized, you can be charged with Impaired Operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canada if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold. That means you can be charged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge can, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges, but it can get worse. Many provinces have enacted additional legislation to curb the practice of drinking and boating. In Ontario for example, Bill 209 amended the Highway TrafďŹ c Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vesselâ€?. As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above .05, face an on-the-spot drivers’ license suspension. That’s right! You can lose your automobile driver’s licence and should your blood alcohol concentration exceed .08, upon conviction an additional suspension of up to one year can be applied. If that’s not a sufďŹ cient deterrent, add the ďŹ nancial impact of court and legal fees, alternative transportation for the year (i.e. taxi, bus, train, etc.) and potential loss of employment if driving is an essential component of your job. The costs keep
mounting even after the reinstatement of your license. You’ll face drastically increased insurance premiums for up to 6 years and the inconvenience and embarrassment related to the installation and use of an ignition interlock system. These costs can easily amount to many thousands of dollars! The decision to drink and boat seems pretty stupid when stacked up against these penalties! But many impaired boaters are not stopped before something even worse happens. The Canadian Safe Boating Council completed a survey that identiďŹ ed in nearly 40% of boating related deaths alcohol was a factor and 23% of the cases involved alcohol above the legal limit.

What increases the effects of alcohol while boating are sunshine and a boat’s natural rocking motion that can turn a simple ride can turn into a dangerous dunking. It only takes a large wake or wave, a quick change in the boat’s direction, or a ‘tippy canoe’ to result in someone falling overboard with tragic consequences. Navigating a boat takes coordination and your full concentration. Your decision making skills and ability to react suddenly to changes in condition and surroundings is compromised by alcohol. Your reaction time slows, your vision and judgement are affected and you are more willing to be reckless and take risks. All of this can result in a preventable accident in which you or someone you care for ends up in hospital or worse.
YOUR RECREATION SPECIALISTS
Psychologists know that human nature has a way of rationalizing. “It can’t possibly happen to me� is often the thought. Whether that means “I’ll never be caught� or “I’ll never be killed� doesn’t matter. Neither of those things will happen if boaters stick to just boating on the water. Afterward, you can have a few drinks on shore and then stay put. It’s that simple - If you drink, don’t drive your boat.

-Mr. Harper has “streamlined” the hearing process. -The Harper Government is relaxing conditions on bringing in foreign workers and decided that they will be paid 15% less. -Enbridge is prepared to accept Chinese contractor’s bids on pipeline construction. -Legislation is being passed that give the Federal Cabinet the power to decide on the Enbridge proposal, without regard to people’s wishes or recommendations from the committee they appointed. (ie. 4-5 people from a party that got elected by 39% of the voters has absolute control over the destiny of the people of B.C. - You will only find this kind of scenario in Banana Republic’s) -If you are counting on Justice from the courts consider this; Stephen Harper has appointed 4 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices, could be five by the time any court actions take place. -Remember the senate (?), the folks with a sober second look; Remember Mr. Harper who fought for and promised Senators will be elected, well, by now he has appointed 45. Does facing this deceitful stacked-deck mean that we should give up and bend over? Not on your life, we need to keep on keeping on. John Jensen, Terrace, BC

From Page 7 (not to be confused with the bad Communists in Cuba that we will not have anything to do with because our American friends tell us so). The Chinese need the tar-sand product to process the logs we also send them and employ some 12 year olds at 20 cents an hour to produce everything we and our pets consume, poison toys etc. I have just spent a couple of days along with a substantial group of people from all walks of life, who are naive enough to believe that democracy still exist in Canada, and that we might have any impact on whether or not the Northern Gateway Project goes ahead. The Harper government has declared war on environmentalists accusing us of money laundering, receiving money from some American Socialist Billionaires calling my M.P., my son and grandchildren terrorists and traitors. Here are my reasons for believing that this madness cannot be stopped by peaceful and legal means: - China has given Enbridge $10 million walkaround-money and bought a two billion chunk of the Tar sands, they obviously have assurance they will get the oil. - The province has agreed to let the federal government make all decisions.

Hey. We do use oil, too Dear Sir: Mr. Mould’s recent letter echoes the silly and tiresome argument that you can find in the comment boards of any article that mentions David Suzuki. First Nations or environmental opposition: we’re all hypocrites because we use fossil fuels and so, “right” thinking individuals should ignore our comments on climate change or any other issue, for that matter. In the final question in his letter, Mr. Mould implies, rather than states, this conclusion. This is a logical flaw, called “begging the question”, but in any
case, it is also a non-sequitur. It doesn’t follow that my driving a car invalidates the criticisms I make about the environmental risks involved in running a pipeline over hundreds of fish-bearing streams or in transporting oil in tankers down
the Douglas Channel. This bitumen would be destined for China, not my gas tank. I would have a great deal more optimism about mankind’s future on this planet if it were possible to have a rational debate in this coun-
try on significant issues that affect us all, rather than having to listen to “ad hominem” (personal) attacks from people who seem to care little about the legacy they leave their descendants. Andrew Williams, Terrace, BC
Thornhill Junior best ever Dear Sir: Thank you for the nice article about Thornhill Junior Secondary in the May 2 issue. I was fortunate to attend Thornhill Junior when it was first opened. It was very exciting to move into a new school in January 1975 after the
Christmas holidays. Not only did my brothers and I attend Thornhill Junior so did my nephews. As principal Jane Arbuckle said, there is a special connection between friends that you have known since age 5 or 6, as many Thorn-
hill Junior students also went to the Thornhill Primary and Elementary schools. I am very saddened by its closure. Thornhill Junior Secondary will remain in my heart as the best high school ever. Gayle Holtom, Thornhill, B.C.

Cemetery gates are locked “My mother-in-law went and couldn’t get in,” she said. “(She) couldn’t bring flowers.” Ridler is also not convinced that locking the vehicle access gate will prevent vandalism. “I don’t think the (locked) gates are going to deter vandalism,” she said, adding that anyone with the intent to vandalize is still able to walk through the pedestrian access gate. “There are a lot of people who are elderly who go to visit their spouses,” she said. “For some people, that’s a real healing process. It’s much easier when you can get a vehicle in there.” Ridler suggested an alternative, which would be locking cemetery vehicle gates after regular hours. “I don’t think [the gate] should be locked during the day,” she said. And despite city regulations setting standards for grave appearances, Ridler said she empathizes with those people that adding customizing ornamentation is an act of healing for many. There have been previous complaints to the city that ornaments on top of grave locations are removed by city workers to make it easier to mow grass.

Store to emphasize recycling By Lauren Benn THERE’S A new-concept store coming to Terrace and its philosophy is to be an eco-conscious social enterprise. Pioneered by the Terrace and District Community Services Society, the store which will be located in the old garden centre on the former Terrace Co-op property on Greig Ave. will be selling items refurbished. These will be refurbished items that would otherwise have been tossed into the trash. But the key here is not to turn a profit, at least one that will line the pockets of a private interest. Instead, that money will go to getting people in the community job ready, and the refurbishing work to be done there will teach essential skills as well. “We want to invest in people,� said Casey Eys, who works for the community services society and who is managing the project. “We want to use that as a vehicle for people to get retrained or reintroduced into the workforce.� The COReStore, as it is named, stands for Community Oriented Recyclable Store. It will operate on a volunteer basis for everything from management to refurbishing work to sales. “Anybody is wel-
come to show up and lend a hand,� said Eys. The store will focus primarily on accepting materials like construction waste that can be reused, reusable appliances, fixtures, furniture and larger household items. “What we want to avoid is turning it into a garage sale,� said Eys, who clarified that there are many reusable products that need a little TLC but which are now thrown away because there’s no other place for them to go. And it’s the TLC part that will see community members – employed or not – using or learning skills that can be applied in a variety of contexts. Eys pointed out that when it comes to employment, gaps in a resume can raise flags to employers and that the COReStore is a great way to fill space and show future employers one’s motivation to be engaged. Also, money raised will be dedicated to training people who require it elsewhere — and the formula for deciding who gets help will depend on need and motivation, said Eys. Before the store can open, which is estimated to be in late May or in early June, improvements to the building will be need. The community ser-

A trailer will be brought in to act as an office and washroom facilities will be provided. The City of Terrace will be renting the building for $1 a year. The building’s most recent inhabitants, city firefighters who trained inside, have moved out
their equipment. Repairs needed include a new stairway into the building, some electrical, flooring and drywall fixing, and pos-
sibly some roof repair. “It’s not a lot at this point,� said Kwiatkowski. “We’re keeping it fairly simple.� For the store, Eys
said details as to what exactly will be accepted and how are being hammered out, but ideas include a possible pickup service.
Cash donations to go toward job and life skills training for those who will be working at the store will also be accepted, he said.

Historical photos are wanted THE TERRACE and District Museum Society is bridging history with the modern world by making old photographs digital in an effort to preserve them. Before Ella Goodlad, a volunteer with the society and Heritage Park Museum, arrived to do the job, old pictures that tell the story of Terrace were scattered throughout the top floor of the historical Kalum Lake Hotel, said Heritage Park Museum curator Kelsey Wiebe, who is also working on the project. Since, Goodlad has organized old photos, placed them in acid-free paper which slows material decomposition, and has started scanning images with a high quality scanner. But the project is not only about preserving what the society already has, it’s about finding more.

digital archive. To date, people and places are being identified and recorded and soon the society will be reaching out to the community for help with the task, said Wiebe. “Eventually, they will be made available online so that everyone can search them,” she said. Wiebe added that more pictures are historical than people might think. “History generally is just the story of the past, so it’s quite expansive,” she said. “We want to incorporate all the stories of the community.”

The photos will be scanned, logged in digital format, and returned upon request, she said. “We’re especially looking for photos of any time period of Terrace history,” said Wiebe. “Especially people and places of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s.” Old photos owned by the museum society are currently being stored in a fireproof container at city hall here, and scanned images are being compiled into a

TAKING THE TIME TO GET IT RIGHT: DESIGNING THE KSM PROJECT The KSM Project is a proposed gold/copper mine, located 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart. If approved, the mine could become an important economic anchor in northwest BC and a source of four important minerals we use in our daily lives. The average home contains more than 400 pounds of copper – mostly in the wiring and pipes that keep the power on and the water Àowing. Our vehicles, computers, cell phones and countless other items we use on a daily basis contain many different metals and minerals, including gold, silver and copper. These are all found at the proposed KSM Project where the proven and probable mineral deposits total 38.2 million ounces of gold; 9.9 billion pounds of copper; 191 million ounces of silver; and 213 million pounds of molybdenum. A lot of effort goes into planning a mine. Originally discovered in the 1960s, Seabridge has been working since 2006 on the KSM Project design, doing exploratory drilling, geotechnical, engineering, environmental and socio-economic studies; and gathering input from communities and groups who have an interest in the project. “Our aim from the beginning has been to work collaboratively to forward a project which reÀects public input prior to submitting our permit applica-
tions for review by provincial and federal regulators,” says Rudi Fronk, Seabridge Gold’s President and CEO. “Six years of work and community feedback have gone into designing a mine plan for KSM that is both environmentally responsible and economically feasible.” The proposed KSM mine gets its name from three of the four deposits found at the site: Kerr, Sulphurets and Mitchell (the other deposit is called Iron Cap). These deposits will be mined in a combined open pit
and underground operation over the mine’s ¿ve-year construction and 50 to 55-year mine life. How it works is, rock is blasted from the ground using open pit, truck and shovel mining methods (in the open pits and underground). Rock that does not contain ore will be stored in rock storage facilities (RSFs) near the pits. Rock containing minerals – the ore – will be moved on a conveyor through a 23 kilometre-long tunnel to the processing plant. The ore will be crushed, the minerals extracted and the resulting mineral concentrates

trucked offsite for further re¿nement. The location of roads to and from the mine site and processing plants were selected based on feedback from Seabridge’s Working Group and Aboriginal partners. The remaining ground-up ore with the minerals removed – the ‘tailings’ – are pumped to a nearby tailings management facility. Here, dams will be built to contain the tailings. There will also be a special lined pond in the centre of the tailings management facility where some of the tailings will be stored. This is the ¿rst lined pond in British Columbia; it is not required for the project, but Seabridge is committed to upholding high environmental standards in its mine design. Other project elements include water diversion tunnels to divert fresh water and runoff away from the pits and mine site; water treatment facilities, to collect and treat water running off the pits and the RSFs; two camps to house employees; and places to store equipment, explosives and supplies in various locations across the site. The estimated capital cost of the proposed KSM Project is 5.3 billion dollars, providing annual employment for 1,100 during construction and 930 during operation. The KSM Project will be going through the Environmental Assessment process this fall and, pending approval, will go into construction in 2014.

Recycling business lays off staff THE OWNER of a local recycling business has had to lay off employees since the city changed its recycling program. The city had been paying Do Your Part Recycling to process recyclable items taken to its pilot project drop-off depot on the old Co-op property. But when Waste Management offered to handle everything for free by putting in a depot at its business location, the city took up the offer, doing away with the need to source permanent service delivery on which Do Your Part could have bid. Do Your Part had noticed a change in its business during the pilot project when many of its residential pickup customers began using the Co-op depot instead. But city payments to process what was taken there balanced the loss, said Do Your Part owner Casey Lewis. “I probably retained half of my residential clients,” said Lewis, adding she understands why the city chose not to continue providing the service. “I can’t compete with free.” Lewis did say some of her clients have since come back to her for pickup service, and that Rob Geier she has faith the business will make it through because the service is a convenience. She said she is currently able to cover her costs, and that she also has a drop-off service for any interested. Despite the change in her business, Lewis said after checking out the Waste Management site she was impressed. “It’s a fabulous set-up,” she said. In the meantime, Lewis has taken on extra hours herself, bringing her four-year-old daughter to work with her if needed. She has also laid off three positions, two full time and one part time. The city had estimated it would spend $70,000 this year on a permanent drop-off recycling depot. The owner of the company that had been taking the recyclables from the Co-op property to Do Your Part says he was surprised at how fast people took to the concept. From one pickup a week, Rob Geier from Geier Waste was picking up a 30-yard container full of material four times a week in a corner of the old Co-op property by the time the program ended in April. “By the end it was Friday and then Saturday again,” said Geier. “Thirty yards is a lot of material and the bins were full.” And there were periods when Geier had to gather up material stacked by the bin because it was full. “I guess in that way being a success was a bit of a problem,” he said. Geier was hired by the city to haul the 30-yard container to Do Your Part Recycling where the material was sorted and prepared for transport. “People did a good job of cleaning and a good job of sorting,” said Geier of the material he handled over the six-month pilot program. Geier was ready to buy a second container just to hold cardboard had the city converted the program into a permanent feature. “I can understand that part,” said Geier of the city’s decision to use Waste Management. Still, Geier said he is now paying $250 a month in lease payments for the large bin that had been used in the pilot program. He’s now looking for another use for the bin.

Shell and partner announce huge LNG plant at Kitimat 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) SHELL CANADA announced a partnership with three Asian companies to build a large liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant at Kitimat May 15. Shell will own 40 per cent of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being called LNG Canada with Korea Gas Corporation, Mitsubishi Corporation and PetroChina Company Ltd. each owning 20 per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;LNG Canada would connect the abundant supply of Canadian natural gas to growing markets around the world. This also begins the formal consultation process with First Nations and local community residents regarding the project,â&#x20AC;? a press release stated. This would be the third LNG plant for the Kitimat area, increasing its importance in the world export market for the commodity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our combined expertise, and our focus on technological innovation in delivering safe and environmentally sound LNG projects around the globe, ensures that our LNG Canada project would be well-suited to deliver long-term value for British Columbia and increase access to new export markets for Canada,â&#x20AC;? says Jose-Alberto Lima, Vice President LNG Americas,
Shell Energy Resources Company. The proposed LNG Canada project includes the design, construction and operation of a gas liquefaction plant and facilities for the storage and export of liquefied natural gas (LNG), including marine offloading facilities and shipping. LNG Canada will initially consist of two LNG processing units referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;trains,â&#x20AC;? each with the capacity to produce six million tonnes of LNG annually, with an option to expand the project in the future, the press release stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;LNG Canada can create significant economic benefit for the province, First Nations, local communities and the region. Such a project can create thousands of jobs during construction and hundreds of full-time, permanent jobs during operations. Such a significant energy project can also bring indirect economic development opportunities to the region,â&#x20AC;? the press release adds. A website set up to provide information on the project indicates the partnership will fill a project description later this year as a step toward undertaking a regulatory review. Kitimat mayor Joanne Monaghan said
Vandals strike at golf course once again POLICE ARE looking for the vandals who damaged the Skeena Valley golf course once again this year. On Saturday night, May 13, between midnight and 6 a.m., a table and chairs were thrown over a bank and smashed up, reported police today. The other incident of the same nature occurred at the beginning of the month. The first incident was unreported. Damages are in excess of $1,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The monetary effect of repeated incidents like this can have a devastating effect on such a small business. If anybody has information that can assist the Terrace RCMP in identifying the vandals, call us or Crime Stoppers, â&#x20AC;&#x153; says Const. Angela Rabut, the community policing and media relations officer at the Terrace RCMP detachment. If you have information about this crime, contact the Terrace RCMP at 250-638-7400 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers by telephone at 1-800-222-TIPS. And a tip can be left anonymously online at www.bccrimestoppers.com and following the instructions.
she was extremely happy with the announcement because of its potential economic impact on her municipality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this does is move the project along,â&#x20AC;? said Monaghan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say this in the release, but they would need between 5,000 to 7,000 [construction] workers, 600 or more to oversee construction and there
would be hundreds and hundreds of permanent jobs,â&#x20AC;? she said. Shell has already purchased the old Methanex site as a plant location. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s within the boundaries of Kitimat, meaning the municipality stands to benefit from a revitalized tax base. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we lost Methanex, it was grim and
when Eurocan went down, it was worse. Our council wondered what we were going to do to provide services. But now we are back to getting a pretty vibrant community,â&#x20AC;? said Monaghan. She said the task now is to ensure there is significant municipal and health infrastructure to handle an increase in population.

■ Hold still please LEANNE BALLINGER steadies Tegan Harris as RCMP Auxiliary Constable Deidre Good does the fingerprinting May 12 at Walmart. Child ID kits prepared by the auxiliary members contained photos as well as fingerprints and other information meant to assist emergency personnel in searching for a child if the need arises.
Community foundation takes shape THE TERRACE Community Foundation is here to help out a variety of groups with financial assistance. The foundation comes about now as there was seed money in the form of grants that were matched. “I think out biggest thing is we want people to know that we exist, that we are totally philanthropic. We are not in competition with any community group, in fact we want to work with them and hopefully maximize the return for ourselves and them, and it allows people to give back in perpetuity to the community,” says chair Sandy Glendenning. The city provided $50,000 that was matched by northern Development Initiative Trust from its regional development
account to assist with establishing an endowment within a community foundation, she explained. The foundation also received an additional $10,000 from city grants. And the principle amount will not be used, rather the interest it makes will be the money given to groups and organizations. “We’re just getting started. We plan to hold one or two major fundraising events a years,” said Glendenning, adding right now the foundation committee wants people to know that organizations, services clubs or even people like lawyers can encourage their clients to make bequests.
Criteria for grant money will be set up in future as will the decision on what types of events to hold. “We’re not to the stage yet of granting money so when the time comes, we’ll probably put out a call of what the specifics are,” she says about the criteria to apply for money. Businesses or people who want to contribute up front can be on the founding donors list. “A lot of people are very involved in helping the community in a lot of different ways and like to continue it on after they’re gone and this is a way of doing it,” said Glendenning, adding that the benefits go on not just for today and tomorrow but for 10, 20 or 30 years into the future.
Relay raises big bucks Garbage bag princess
Around Town
THE RELAY for Life raised more money than last year and could reach $200,000. “As of today (May 15), it is safe to say we are at $196,000 and counting,” said Lori Neid, Canadian Cancer Society BC and Yukon Division coordinator community giving. Last year’s final total was $195,000, she added. “Truly an amazing community we live in!” she said. The relay saw 43 teams with 397 participants spend 12 hours at the Skeena Junior track for the event.
AMY SPENCER, who earlier this year started up a fund called Amy’s Cinderella Project to raise money for a Vancouver group that provides used prom gowns to girls who can’t otherwise afford to go to prom with their friends, has surpassed her fundraising goal with $1,375 plus cash she’s collected as of May 17. She said if she raised $1,000, she would wear a garbage bag to prom and says she and her mom have picked out a pattern for her black garbage bag outfit.
Dancing overseas LOCAL DANCER Jessica Ames, who has spent three years training professionally at Arts Umbrella Professional Dance Program in Vancouver, is heading to Groningen, Holland where she has been hired to dance professionally with the Studio Group of Noord Nederlandse Dans for a year.

Gruchy’s Beach cleaned up thanks to volunteers’ efforts A GROUP of volunteers turned out May 12 to clean Gruchy’s Beach of a buildup of debris and litter. Organized through the operator for BC Parks, Northwest Escapes, the day-long effort went well, says Margaret Kujat, who coordinates Lakelse Lake watershed enhancement programs through partnerships with non-profit and government agencies. A walk-in beach that is part of Lakelse Lake Provincial park, Gruchy’s is popular for those who want a beach that’s a bit more remote. “Very nice to be able to work with agencies such as [BC] Parks and their contractors for the benefit of the watershed and lake,” said Kujat of the cleanup. About 90 per cent of what was collected was woody debris and reeds which was either burned or hauled away to nearby locations for decomposition in the park. Notable items disposed of include a boat and a dock. Prevailing winds make the beach an unintended home for items that wash ashore, said Kujat. Some of the litter included pieces of metal and a heavily-damaged fibreglass boat. Those taking part came from around the area. A barbecue lunch put on by Northwest Escapes kept the volunteers fed. Kujat said cooperation between those who took part was excellent and she looked forward to another beach cleanup next year.

Air cadets wrap up year
PETLAND TERRACE PROUD TO SPONSOR
LOCAL AIR Cadets learned skills at a weekend field training exercise earlier this month and have more busy weekends on their schedule. Eighteen cadets learned skills such as how to use a map and compass, how to search for somebody using a grid and other outdoor survival skills. The air cadet squadron helped set up booths, light candles and take down booths for the Canadian Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Relay for Life May 12. May Sports Weekend took place last weekend with cadets from Dawson Creek, Chetwynd, McKenzie, Prince George, Quesnel, and Vanderhoof coming to Terrace for a fun weekend of competition. To finish the month, air cadets will hold a marksmanship weekend with Smithers Sea Cadets May 26, 27. Then they start June with a gliding camp in Smithers June 2, 3. Before heading out to summer camps, Air Cadets will celebrate their accomplishments at their Ceremonial Review at the cadet hall at the airport June 10. Parents are asked to be at the hall by 12:30 p.m. and the review begins shortly before 1 p.m.
Ruby is a female Husky cross. She was found by the RCMP running loose on Kenny Street in February dragging a long lead behind her. No one has come forward to claim Ruby, so she is in need of a loving home. Ruby listens to basic commands and likes to be outside. Our guess is that she has been tethered often, so would require a fenced yard where she can play and exercise safely. If you would like to learn more about our adoption process, please ask the staff for assistance.

Stingers volley their way to provincials THE TERRACE Stingers might be a new team in town, but the girls recently volleyed their way to the Lower Mainland to play some long-time big city teams in a provincial tournament. The Stingers, a rep team made up of girls in Grades 9 and 10, began practising in January of this year before a team was picked in February. Looking back over the season, the team played several tournaments before it came to an end in April. But according to coach Carmen Didier, the girls weren’t ready to stop. The team travelled to several tournaments throughout the year, placing second in Prince George for one, coming
first in Chetwynd during another, and third at another tournament held in Prince George. The Terrace Stingers is made up of nine players, a coach and an assistant coach, Steve Kitchen. “The girls’ season was to wrap up at the end of April after the Prince George tournament but the girls really wanted to continue to play and take their game to the next level,” said Didier, adding that the next level was the 15U provincials in Abbotsford at the beginning of May. “In Abbotsford, we had a very exciting and awesome weekend,” she said about the tournament, which was held at the Trade and Exhibi-

all team members could play as the team had to be made of up girls 15
and under to qualify for the 15U category, said Didier, explaining how
the tournament went for the team. “Terrace Stingers in round robin play defeated Alberni Airborne 25-19 and 25-16, Power West 25-14 and 25-19 and lost to the Coquitlam Ducks 1125, 25-17, 10-15. This placed them second in their round robin where they moved on to defeat Phoenix Volleyball 2521 and 25-21. This win put them into the championship round where they further defeated Delta Kahunas 22-25, 25-23 and 15-11. Moving into the top four, the Stingers had to play the Coquitlam Ducks once again where they lost 25-18 and 27-25. This placed them into the bronze medal
match where they were defeated in an exciting and close match 22-25, 25-15 and 16-14. The girls experienced a much higher level of volleyball at the provincials and really rose to the occasion by competing toe to toe with the big city clubs. “We are very proud of our team,” said Didier. “They have worked very hard to get where they are today. “If you can consider that the teams we played at the provincials were mainly big city teams who are used to high pressure play and competition and our team being a new club team and not getting the same opportunities to play at the higher level, we did incredibly well.”
Golf takes a new swing in local classrooms
LAUREN BENN PHOTO
ETHAN DHALIWAL shows off his swing at Uplands Elementary School last week where he learned the game of golf, SNAG style.
THE GAME of golf has been reinvented in the name of getting children learning it early, and hopefully loving it. It is also being introduced in Terrace in a classroom-style format that will not only see children of all ages able to try out the sport, but hone their skills year-round. Last week, the B.C. Golf Association’s School of Golf director Cathy Gook visited Terrace on May 14 and 16 to teach a program called SNAG, standing for Someone New at Golf. She taught the game to students at Uplands Elementary School, to volunteers at the Skeena Valley Golf Club and also Parkside Secondary School. “Our Playground to Fairways school program ... mission is every child in B.C. has the opportunity to learn the game of golf,” said Gook. “We come up to train teachers, professionals or community volunteers to use the modified golf equipment we use.” The SNAG equipment is designed to be child friendly, intended to assist learning techniques of the game while being skill-level appropriate and fun, she said. Equipment includes two types of clubs: one similar to an iron with a larger head called launchers, and another like, and larger than, a putter called rollers. “They’re modified grips so
it’s really easy for little hands to hold onto the clubs,” she said. The terminology is intended to associate with the action of the ball, which in this game is roughly the size of a tennis ball but weighs the same as a golf ball, said Gook. There are targets at which the kids aim. The balls stick to them, said Gook. There are four different swings, or shots, that are taught. The first swing is called rolling, otherwise known as putting. There’s chipping, which in golf is a small low elevated shot intended to land close to the green and get a ball near the hole. Next, there’s pitching, which is the third biggest swing. “It’s when you’re fairly close to the green and want to loft it,” said Gook, “a soft, short little shot that goes up in the air.” Next, there’s the launch. Gook brought up three different lengths of launchers and rollers — each designed for a different age stage and each with a slightly different approach to learning the game. The smallest size is for kindergarten to Grade 3, and that game focuses on adapting literacy skills with golf, honing hand-eye coordination, and target awareness. That program is currently being developed to be rolled out B.C.-wide next year. But in Terrace, now, is a set
of SNAG equipment that’s ready to be used in schools. There’s enough for 32 children at a time to play at various stations, and this set of equipment is intended to do more than just teach golf. Colleen Annibal teaches at Parkside Secondary School, which recently purchased the equipment. “I did the certification Monday night at the golf course,” said Annibal, adding she plans to train students who attend Parkside how to lead the program. The plan is, she said, for her and those students to attend schools with younger children and teach SNAG as part of leadership training for the older students as well. “My goal is to introduce as many kids as I possibly can to golf,” said Annibal. “And for our kids to feel good about themselves helping little kids.” Annibal’s intent is to start training her students within the next few weeks and hopefully have taught two physical education classes with her students by the time school is finished. “I definitely want to build it as leadership for our kids,” she said. “And throughout the winder months have even the golfers coming. “We’re hoping to get more kids involved, more kids turned on to golf,” said Annibal.

WADE BARNETT from Terrace packs the tire on his way to winning “Gamblers” Saturday at the Terrace Drags.
Pedals hit metal in Terrace By Ed Evans THE DRAG Race Season Opener at the Terrace/ Kitimat Regional Airport went off without a hitch, even with the weather threatening on Sunday. Several new cars were there with Prince Rupert’s Gord Hidber running his Chevy II to a respectable 6.4 second run. Pierre Amado brought out his new ride, a Duster. Pierre even beat his brother Paul in his Demon in a heads up race in time trials. “The only time he ran fast is when he raced me,” said Paul jokingly after the run. It was a Daum Saturday as Tanner Daum

took home “JR King of the YXT” and his father, Bruce Daum took “King of The YXT.” Wade Barnett in his yellow Altered took “Gamblers.” Sunday started out with a sprinkling, threatening to turn to rain, however it cleared up in the afternoon during eliminations, turning to hot and sunny. Delany Ribero won “Jr. Dragster,” cutting a perfect light (0.500). Lou Ribero won second place and Tanner Daum won his second podium position of the weekend with a third place in “Jr. Dragster.” “Sportsman” was won by yours truly, Ed Evans. After making it to the semi finals, I had to race
bought the phone last fall after being cajoled into doing so by my daughter, Allison, who took one look at my old mobile and told me I just had to upgrade. Reluctantly, I did only to discover that the damn thing is more powerful than either of my two five-year-old Apple computers. After some techno fumbling, I got the hang of downloading apps and discovered most of them were free and the more expensive ones were from one to three bucks. Soon I had an application that transformed my phone into a magnifier, a database that contains 25 million previously played chess games (and counting), a couple of chess playing computers capable of blowing Garry Kasparov off the board, an application that tells you everything you ever wanted to know about the birds of North America along with audio clips of their calls, a carpenter’s level, a metric converter, and a guitar chord guide that shows a picture on a guitar neck of every chord known to guitarists in all their inversions – and plays them when you shake the phone. Oh yeah, and the phone has the internet of course which instantly transforms it into the world’s largest encyclopedia and a few dozen dictionaries. A nice thing to have hanging from one’s belt. The app I use most often is Accu Weather, the meteorological oracle that came with the phone. At a glance, I can see clouds scudding across my desktop
last year’s defending champion Dana Amado. Dana lost by a fender and took home third place, setting up the finals with Doug Ribero. Ribero took home second place. “Pro” had Craig Baker take out Brandon Roth in the finals and John Simms in his bike took home third place. “Super Pro” saw Paul Amado take out Kris Barnett in his Altered for first place and Russ Gutnechkt and his 50’s pickup winning third place. There were not enough bikes/sleds this year for their own class, so they have been rolled into the regular classes depending on how fast they run. A good weekend of
racing was had by all. A big thanks goes out to all of the volunteers who helped pull this race off.

EVERYONE WAS a winner at the first Shames Mountain Hill Climb in several years. All seven riders came first in the seven categories set up for the ride, which was more of a recreational event than a competitive one. “Everyone was riding for their own reasons,” said Bruce Martindale. “We did it as a fun run timed, not really a race so that’s why we did it this way and everybody was given a prize.” The men’s open winner was Travis Carter with a finish in 47 minutes 6 seconds finish. Matt Beedle won in cyclocross with a time of 49:41. Mike Talstra, who rode the 25 km out to Shames Mountain before doing the event, was classified as “from town before” and finished in 55:34. “He wasn’t that far behind the leaders considering he rode 25 km before he started the race,” said Martindale. Ryan Gordon won as a rookie rider for the Terrace Off Road Cycling Association (TORCA) in 1 hour 2 minutes. Rod Gee, a masters rider, came in at 1:38 and Tara Irwin took the ladies category in 1:38. Last, but certainly not least, 11-year-old Aiden Carter did the 13 km race uphill in 1:52.

to get sorted out. It had been while since I’d fished trout and my vest was in disarray. I was watching the action of the Mickey Finn in the shallows prior to making a cast when a wooden thump drew my attention upstream to where a drift boat carrying two men was drifting downstream. The craft drifted a few metres then the oarsman rowed upstream and guided it back downstream on an elliptical course. I realized that these men were back trolling plugs, a deadly technique from which fish have no sanctuary. The shimmering plastic lures dive and shimmy – some even rattle – through every part of the river. The boat passed us then made another circuit, then, just before it rounded the bend and out of my view, one of the rods bent under the weight of a vicious take. As the oarsman rowed upstream, his partner snatched the rod from its holder. As the boat disappeared from view, I was tempted to scramble up the bank and bushwhack downstream to observe the spectacle, but quickly disabused myself of the idea. The boat, a double ended Mackenzie style craft, had shark’s teeth painted on the bow. They were the same kind of teeth cannibals in Borneo and other primitive tribes paint on their bodies and shields to make themselves appear as fearsome as possible before entering battle. Only one cutthroat trout took the Mickey Finn. Maybe we need a fly with teeth, I said to Oona.

SENIOR OFFICIALS from three post secondary institutions are to provide their ideas next week about how they might fit in with the changing economic landscape of the northwest. Rick Brouwer, of the Skeena-Nass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics, the local think tank sponsoring their appearance, says education of all kinds is critical if northwestern residents are to benefit from a wave of pending
industrial activity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key here is a sustainable economy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just large projects. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everything. And having these people speak about how they see their role is going to be important. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping it will start a conversation,â&#x20AC;? said Brouwer. Speaking for 20 minutes each will be University of Northern British Columbia president George Iwami, Wilp Wilxoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oskwhl Nisgaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;a Institute (WWNI) presi-
dent Deanna Nyce and Northwest Community College vice-president Dave Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to think more and more as a region and the education sector is going to be a crucial part of the infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? said Brouwer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to need to be prepared for whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming our way.â&#x20AC;? Brouwer said the ultimate goal is a regional economy that is diverse enough and managed efficiently to avoid what
has been a history of depending upon one industry, typically forestry in this region, and then suffering its economic downturns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly we need to develop along parallel lines. If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only forestry, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re subject to its boom and bust. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only mining, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boom and bust cycle,â&#x20AC;? he continued.

Spit hood used TERRACE RCMP officers used a spit hood to protect themselves and others after responding to an incident here May 16. The incident began when a man reported that a woman on Davis Ave. was breaching her conditions of not consuming alcohol. Police arrested the woman for breaching those conditions. Police said the man became agitated and aggressive toward others in the residence, including children. Officers then arrested the 37-year-old man who they said stated that he was going to spit into the face of a police officer. A spit hood was placed on his head to prevent this. It resembles a see-through meshtype bag that catches and retains fluids. Police are forwarding information on the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breach of her condition to not consume alcohol to Crown Counsel lawyers for further action.
ety looking at ways to build a â&#x20AC;&#x153;resilient and sustainable resource economy.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a consistent advocate, for example, of adding value to the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forests and has hosted companies interested in developing biofuel industries. The May 28 postsecondary speakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; session begins at 6:30 p.m. May 28 at the Best Western Inn here. The centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting follows the presentations.
