New ﬁsh regs affect tourism By LAUREN BENN STEELHEAD fishing restrictions placed on non-resident anglers will harm local tourism, say local business owners. In September 2011, the provincial and federal government changed fishing regulations to put limits on when anglers from outside B.C. and Canada could fish — axing weekends in some favourite fishing spots and changing guiding times and guiding days in other circumstances. The local Wild Duck Motel & RV Park relies heavily on anglers to sustain its business, and owner

Claudia Lee says this year she’s seen more cancellations than ever before at a time when anglers account for 80 per cent of her business. “Last year at this time there were lots of registrations for the summer season ... but this season, it’s too slow.” Lee says several long-time guests of the motel have told her by email they won’t be coming back this year. “She doesn’t want to stay this year because they can’t fish during the weekends,” explained Lee of one guest from France. Another long-time client of the

motel from the United States has complained about the regulations as well. “They booked last year, but this year with new regulations, they wanted to cancel,” said Lee. Local tourism body Kermodei Tourism is concerned about effects on the industry the changes will have. “We’ve had several different types of feedback from not only people who are involved in guiding but also from long-time visitors that have come here from overseas,” said director Graham Genge. “Mainly to do with the disruption of the fishing days.”

Changes came into effect April 1st, including resident-only fishing in two “hot spot” zones on Saturday and Sunday from July 1 to December 31. Changes also include changes to water classifications, extended classified water sections which require different tags or permits, mandatory steelhead stamps, Canadian-resident only times and zones, and changes to the number of guided angling days allotted, and higher fees for anglers from elsewhere. In the Skeena region, these changes affect the Bulkley, Babine, Morice, Kispiox, Suskwa, Kitseg-

uecla, Kitwanga, Skeena, Zymoetz, Lakelse and Kitsumkalum rivers. “There is concern because ... fishing is one of those key things that does bring in a lot of revenue and money into the community,” said Genge, adding that Terrace and the Northwest region in general attracts specific types of tourists. “We’re not a cheap bargain destination ... for Europeans... we’re a big price point and people have to think and plan about this trip,” said Genge. “Added costs and added barriers I think is detrimental to guided or recreational fishing.”

Crash probe underway THE INVESTIGATION continues into the cause of a helicopter crash that claimed three lives near Terrace last week. The Bailey Helicopters’ Eurocopter AS350 crashed onto the back side of Sleeping Beauty Mountain 11 nautical miles west the morning of June 1, and its three male occupants were confirmed dead hours later. Federal Transportation Safety Board investigators travelled to Terrace later that day to begin their investigation. RCMP and Terrace Search and Rescue members were at the location within hours but pulled back when conditions were deemed too dangerous. “The avalanche technician deemed the area unsafe for emergency crew and everyone was pulled out,” said RCMP Constable Angela Rabut the afternoon of June 1st. The weather was poor that morning and it was raining and snowing at the location. The three men aboard were Bailey Helicopters’ employees on a training flight. Going into the weekend, one of the men had been confirmed to be Peter Bryant, 45, from Terrace, a pilot who’s been working with Bailey Helicopters for 11 years. A Canadian Armed Forces Buffalo fixed-wing aircraft and a Cormorant helicopter out of Comox were sent to the area the morning of June 1 after the Bailey helicopter’s emergency beacon went off. On June 2, safety board investigators, the RCMP and avalanche specialists again assessed the conditions at the crash location.

Park wins design award TERRACEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S George Little Park has caught international eyes by winning an award for its design. The award was granted to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development services department and was presented to city planner David Block at a conference last week held in Portland, Oregon. The International Making Cities Liveable award recognized the team responsible for revitalizing George Little Park and making it a place that brings people in the community together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a surprise to him,â&#x20AC;? said city official Marvin Kwiatkowski about Block being presented with the award at the conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The project was a special exhibit and won an award for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Successful Designs for Healthy Inclusive Communitiesâ&#x20AC;? under the Urban Plazas category,â&#x20AC;? said Kwiatkowski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;David was the team planner.â&#x20AC;? Those who worked on the project included members of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

development services department and consulting company Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public participation was huge,â&#x20AC;? said Kwiatkowski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a fairly large stakeholder and community engagement even from the concept design stage.â&#x20AC;? The revitalization project took place in 2009/2010, and came with a $1.2 million price tag. A federal grant of $600,000 and provincial one of $300,000 helped pay for the work. The work involved tearing down an old, closed-in bandshell that was in the middle of the park and replacing it with one of a more open design, a gathering space, lighting and new pathways. The Skeena Valley Farmers Market was also moved from an adjacent vacant lot to the parking area immediately adjacent to the new bandshell, turning it into a place where hundreds of people congregate on Saturdays in

the spring, summer and fall. A seniors fitness area was also built as a separate project behind the library and was included in the George Little Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall revitalization. The award submission came with specific criteria, and Block submitted the project under the urban plazas category. The requirements were that the space bring together various groups in public socially, be located in a mixed use area with a residential population within 10 minutes walking distance, be multifunctional and able to accommodate various activities and events and be used consistently. In 2008, the city was presented with an award of honour from the Heritage Society of BC for its restoration of the Kwinitsa railway foremanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence. It contains the My Mountain Co-op offices and the Chill ice cream emporium at the east end of the millennium trail.

Information kiosk opens at airport THE FIRST information kiosk with a person behind it to help tourists find out about Terrace and area was officially opened at the Northwest Regional Airport May 29. Dignitaries from Terrace and Kitimat came out, including mayors Dave Pernarowski and Joanne Monaghan, who took scissors in hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony. And the City of Terrace’s official mascot Terra the Kermode Bear dropped by to help them out. The crescent-shaped desk complete with brochures around it is a joint project between Kermodei Tourism and Tourism Kitimat and both cities will refer tourists to each other. Information given out will be regional, and not just about Terrace and Kitimat. Prior to this, the airport information kiosk was a tower with bro-

tion series collection. “A lot of children, when they read one book in a series by an author, they will want to read every other book in the series,” noted Koehn. “Students are always asking us for the next book but we may only have one or two by that author.” She cited the Hunger Games series as an example of a high readership demand. “The kids couldn’t get enough. I ended up buying three sets of the Hunger Games myself,” said Koehn. She’s not sure yet how many books the grant will buy, adding that non-fiction books for young people, for example, range from $35 to $70. Students as well as teachers will be asked for their opinions on what should be purchased and there will also be attention paid to non-fiction books. “We don’t have a lot of current non-fiction material,” said Koehn. Koehn wants to combine the impact of the grant with a program from Vancouver Island University to provide assistance to further improve literacy skills at Thornhill Elementary and at New Hazelton Elementary School. “I’m looking forward to a way of bring-

ing the two together,” she said of the impact on Thornhill. “Each can exist independently but together they would have an impact.” The Vancouver Island University assistance will come in the form of a literacy coach to work with the two elementary schools. Koehn hopes to fill that position as literacy coach with the island university to then cover the cost of replacing her

when she’s on assignment. The Indigo Love of Reading Foundation has previously provided grants to two other northern BC schools – $150,000 to David Hoy Elementary in Fort St. James and $51,000 to Conrad St. Elementary in Prince Rupert. Koehn said she saw an advertisement about the foundation in the Indigo-owned Coles book store at the Skeena

Grant helps boost school literacy AT JUST $1,000 a year, Thornhill Elementary School’s library book budget wasn’t even close to keeping up with demand. Book fairs have helped but even the additional $1,000 or $2,000 a year they’ve brought in barely made a dent in the need. But now that the school has received a $56,000 grant, principal Debbie Koehn is looking forward to meeting her students’ collective desire to read. “It was very exciting news for our school,” said Koehn of learning about the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation grant, which will be spent over the next three years. “Literacy is a focus in this school with all of our staff and this will help immensely,” she said. Koehn added that the teachers and others at the school kept to their desire to improve literacy levels despite the stresses of the teachers’ job action this year. And although the library contains older books it would never dispose of, Koehn did say the average age of a book is 16 years, much older than the students it serves. The lack of a book budget has put a particular cramp in the school’s ability to update its fic-

Enbridge spends millions on ads ENBRIDGE IS spending several million dollars to get its point of view across over its $5.5 billion Northern Gateway project. Newspaper, online, radio and television ads are being released between now and September when the company has a chance to provide details of its project when a federal review of the project enters a new phase. Company spokesman Paul Stanway said a series of panel hearings since January has been frustrating because the

format doesn’t provide the company a chance to respond to what has been a virtual unanimous condemnation of the project. Hearings that started in January began with First Nations providing their perspective and then switched to people providing 10-minute long statements. But beginning this fall, Stanway continued, the company will be able to answer objections raised at the hearings so far and present the technical side of its 1,170km

pipeline plan to ship Alberta crude to a marine export terminal at Kitimat. “We just didn’t want to leave a vacuum until September,” said Stanway of the reasoning behind the ad campaign. It’s designed to make more people aware of the details of the project because, Stanway added, polling shows that the more people know, the more they are comfortable with Northern Gateway. “Support is at 50 per cent across B.C. and it’s a bit

higher along the [pipeline right-of-way]. But what we did find is that knowledge about the pipeline is higher along the right-of-way,” he said. That 50 per cent support figure is taken from a recent poll and is about the same as discovered in a poll conducted by Enbridge before the federal hearings started in January. “We know there are a lot of people who support the pipeline. We know because we communicate with them,” said Stanway.

Stanway did allow that opposition to Northern Gateway has firmed up a bit between the first and second polls. There’s no polling going on in Alberta, which would play host to 40 per cent of Northern Gateway’s length, because Enbridge already knows support there is “considerably higher,” he added. “That’s a very different public discussion,” said Stanway of the situation in Alberta. “There’s a much higher familiarity there, a much higher comfort level.”

CHRIS HANSEN, past president of the Greater Terrace Beautification Society, speaks at the May 26 official opening of Brolly Square in downtown Terrace. George Clark acted as the master of ceremonies for the occasion.

Brolly Square receives its ofﬁcial unfurling BROLLY SQUARE was officially opened May 26 in downtown Terrace with speeches, music and refreshments. The project by the Greater Terrace Beautification Society turned what had been a years-long, neglected, fenced off and weedy former gas station site on the corner of Emerson and Lakelse into a brick square with planters and decorative umbrella art pieces. Last occupied by an Esso service station, the Imperial Oil-owned corner was fenced off and the buildings taken down when the service station closed. Known as a brownfield site because of its former gas station use, Imperial has had pollution monitoring equipment placed underground while waiting for time and nature to take care of contaminants before the property can be used for another purpose. Initial attempts by the city to work with Imperial Oil to develop a usable space were rebuffed, city official Marvin Kwiatkowski told those who attended the May 26 opening. “We didn’t have a lot of success dealing with Esso on our own,” explained Kwiatkowski. “That’s

when we decided a grassroots approach would be best.” That opened the door for an approach by the beautification society, which gradually worked out a plan with Imperial Oil. The nature of the remediation work, for example, meant there could be no grass at the site. Imperial Oil did agree to the use of bricks because they can be easily moved if needed. “Everything on that site is temporary. That was key to the project,” said former beautification society president Chris Hansen. “He ran out of reasons to say no,” said Hansen of dealings with an oil company executive. The beautification society now has a five-year lease on the site but is paying no money and Imperial is paying the property taxes. Hansen noted that the community maintained good relations with Imperial Oil, something that hasn’t always been possible with municipalities and oil companies elsewhere when dealing with former gas station locations. She said a how-to manual of how to reclaim brownfield sites has been produced based on the beautification society’s experience.

ENBRIDGE REGARDS a controversial development deal it signed with the Gitxsan Treaty Society last year as alive and well. The deal, to provide the Gitxsan an equity position in the company’s $5.5 billion Northern Gateway pipeline plan, led to the temporary suspension of the Gitxsan chief who negotiated the deal and the ongoing blockade of the treaty society’s offices by Gitxsan who opposed it. “We feel we certainly have an agreement,” said Enbridge official Paul Stanway in describing discussions it has subsequently had with Gitxsan officials. Stanway said the deal followed a protocol arrangement signed with Gitxsan chiefs several years ago. “We are confident we were negotiating with the right people,” he said of discussions with treaty society chief land claims negotiator Elmer Derrick and other society officials. The deal calls for the Gitxsan to be able to borrow money through Enbridge to buy into the 10 per cent block of Northern Gateway the company is making available for aboriginal ownership. Projections placed the value of the deal to the Gitxsan at $7 million over 20 years even though the pipeline route does not directly go through traditional Gitxsan territory. Another part of the deal, regarded by Derrick as equally important, was to have Enbridge explore various ways to generate power on traditional Gitxsan territory. “That’s not just with the Gitxsan,” said Stanway of such discussions. “One thing we’ve tried to stress is that we are a power transportation company and we do a lot of those things in different parts of the world.” Derrick, for example, has been interested in developing run-of-river hydroelectric projects with Enbridge, saying they provide an opportunity to generate revenues and jobs for Gitxsan people. Stanway said power generation

possibilities exist in many places in the region. “When you look at coastal communities, a lot of them have power generated by diesel fuel that’s barged in. That’s not the optimal way to do things in the 21st century,” he said. Enbridge had set a deadline of May 31 for interested First Nations along the Northern Gateway route to take up its offer of equity participation. Leading into the deadline, Stanway said it had signed up approximately 40 per cent of the approximately 44 First Nations along the route. “It’s pretty evenly split. There’s good representation from both provinces,” he said. Under the conditions of the agreements, there’s no immediate requirement for the First Nations to identify themselves but that will happen as the overall Northern Gateway ownership takes shape, Stanway continued. He said it may take a couple of weeks past the May 31 deadline for the release of the final number of participating First Nations. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ While Enbridge may feel it has a deal with the Gitxsan, a press release indicates otherwise. The Jan. 19 release regarding a Jan. 17 meeting of Gitxsan chiefs and issued over the name of Gitxsan Treaty Society official Beverly Clifton Percival indicated that 78 per cent of them voted to withdraw from the Enbridge agreement. “Much more information is required from Enbridge to inform the chiefs on the agreement and the project and how they affect Gitxsan interests,” the release stated. The release also indicated the chiefs voted to have the blockade of the treaty society’s offices removed. That blockade remains up and efforts by the society to have a BC Supreme Court order enforced have failed so far. Calls last week to the treaty office for additional comment were not returned.

EDITORIAL

Mystery IT’S THE kind of mystery that begs to be solved. Missing pages from a public opinion survey on a matter of crucial regional, provincial and even national interest. Repeated refusals to release those pages containing a question and subsequent responses. A polite but terse email saying there’d be no more comment. Normally, this would be something upon which Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen would thrive. Except that this time, it involves Mr. Cullen himself. At issue is the March 2012 release of an opinion survey commissioned by Mr. Cullen concerning the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal. Mr. Cullen’s polling firm asked 501 British Columbians four questions. But he released only three questions and their responses. An email from Mr. Cullen’s office called the missing question something for “internal use” only and that such a move is “a standard practice in the polling industry.” But Mr. Cullen is not a pollster. He’s a Member of Parliament and it was tax money, $1,800 plus $216 HST, that paid for the poll. What could be so important that Mr. Cullen felt the need to seek the responses of 501 British Columbians but then refuse to share that information with his other constituents? Did he not like the answers? Mr. Cullen’s mysterious refusal to release the missing pages seems more like something that would be done by those he battles with daily in and out of Parliament. It would be a shame for him to pick up their bad habits. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

The right person is the key to success

hy would a business operating out of a $6 million building install a ten cent lock to secure the door for customers using the women’s handicap washroom? That question arose last Monday when I made my annual spring trip to Canadian Tire for manure, topsoil, and bedding plants. Canadian Tire’s women’s public washroom has two stalls, one regular, one for handicapped. I chose the only one free at the time. But when I tried to shoot the lock, it bumped by as little as 1/16 of an inch into the metal slot. Lifting the door that 1/16” would have let the lock mesh, but I couldn’t budge the door. If I had brought along a car jack, I might have been able to raise the door that smidge, but jacks not being a standard accessory I take along when visiting a public washroom, I was stymied. I had to settle for a door that stayed shut by a whisker; the tiniest jar and the door swung half open. Now I’m no prude and judging by the low necklines and high skirt hems commonly worn around town,

Later when I reached the service counter, I reported the non-working lock to the cashier. “Oh, we’ve reported that lock many times,” she said. “They say all you need to do is lift the door.” She could not or would not tell me who “they” were.

open at an inopportune time, no way could I have made a grab to close it. The space between toilet and door is too far to reach, even for someone with orangutan arms. And what if a thief had taken advantage of my dishabille and grabbed my purse? Or even worse, thumped me over the head and made off with anything I had of even modest value when fenced for drugs or alcohol? Next morning before drafting this column, I phoned the manager of Canadian Tire. “Yesterday was the first time I had heard of this door lock not working properly,” he said, sounding as sincere as the cashier who claimed the broken lock had been reported many times. So to whom had the broken lock been reported before? The manager went on, “I had it fixed right away.” June 3 to 9 is Seniors’ Week in B.C. when businesses are urged to make their establishments senior friendly. Fixing a bathroom lock is a modest move toward being customer friendly, once the manager receives the complaint.

The cashier and I explained. “Oh, that lock shouldn’t be like that,” he said, with the first hint of concern I’d detected so far. “I’ll check on it.” If the lock had been reported broken many times, why had it not been promptly and properly repaired? Who had the problem been reported to? Was there no established chain of command for propelling such complaints up the line to someone tasked with getting the lock rectified? Was reporting the defect not part of the staff member’s job description? Or did the person receiving the public complaint short circuit it because he/she deemed the complaint more vexatious than valid? Was the staff member too busy to pass on the complaint? An insecure lock could prove to be more than vexatious. Aside from prudery, what if I had arrived in a wheelchair, on crutches or a cane. If the door had swung

JIM WOLD is one of the those who will be affected if there’s flooding at Dutch Valley.

Friends can stop ﬂooding Dear Sir: Flood season will soon be here, if it warms up soon and we hope that it will. The longer the snow stays high, and the nights cold, the danger rises like the tide. Late season frost and then a spell of hot weather will bring all the water off the hills

at once. And that water in the Kalum River is aimed straight at Dutch Valley. Dutch Valley needs some material to stabilize the shores. There is $40 million worth of used concrete left from the mill we tore down. (In Burns Lake and Prince George, they burn mills. Here we tear

them down, deliberately.) There is material available. Just not in the right place. Four things are needed – trust, friendship, cooperation and realism. Dutch Valley people don’t trust anyone, not even their friends. The regional district tries to love everyone and that

can’t work. So the province won’t trust them. The provincial government is the one who can help, and should, but they have never cooperated with anyone. Ever. The owner of the used concrete needs to realize the people need that material. He needs to get rid of it, but not

make a profit. What needs to happen? The material is needed now. No. It was needed last week. The owner of the material needs to be contacted by the regional district. He needs to be realistic and give the material away.

Dear Sir: The BC Liberals did not listen to anyone when it came to the HST. Then they had to back track with a referendum. That kind of leadership has left BC with a huge debt of liability to the federal government who is controlled by the federal conservatives. Leadership has been largely absent in the Missing Women’s Inquiry, which should be a no brainer for our Family First champion. The Union of BC Municipalities passed motions supporting the opposition to oil pipelines and an oil tanker ban. Traditionally the BC Liberals have taken their cue from the annual general meeting of the Union BC Municipalities. Yet the premier’s minister of energy and mines has taken to criticizing local leadership for taking a position against Northern Gateway which according to the conservatives will be their national interest decision anyway. Now the premier’s office is filled with prominent former federal Conservative advisors and Enbridge consultants. To be fair the NDP opposition, especially our current MLA, who recently jumped on the economic bandwagon, have been equally anemic. Aboriginal relations, especially in treaty negotiations and crown corporations, have maintained the neolithic dogma of the federal Indian Affairs department. So what do we have to look forward to in the next election? Steve Wilson, Terrace, BC

D-Day beachhead brings us peace today

ixty-eight years ago today the allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy. Over 156,000 troops from nine countries, including Canada, under U.S. and British leadership launched a frontal assault against thousands of troops of the German Wehrmacht. To this date the D-Day landing stands out as the largest multi-national coordinated military operation the world has seen. We owe it to the veterans of that battle to remember their contribution to history. Today we think of the 20th century as a century of unequalled scientific and technological progress. This view ignores the harsh reality that over a span of just 37 years in the first half of that century the world experienced two wars killing a staggering 75 million people: more than twice Canada’s current population! D-Day marks not only a turning point in that war; it marks a radical change in the direction of global relations. D-Day marks the point where global political, economic, and defense strategies underwent a

dramatic change in direction. Man’s destructive capabilities and capacities had reached unprecedented levels. Established global relations and their policies as applied in the first half of the century had to be abandoned, changed radically, if the world was to survive to see the next millennium. The first initiative was the creation of the United Nations (UN) in 1945. The precursor to that organization, the League of Nations, was created in 1919 for the express purpose of preventing a repeat of a conflict such as the world had just witnessed. That an even deadlier and more devastating global conflict could explode only 20 years after the formation of the League of Nations speaks to the utter failure of that initiative. The lessons learned from that disaster were applied to the formation of the United Nations. The second initiative, focused on economics, was the 1947 formation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), predecessor to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The objective was to create a forum where trade

GUEST COMMENT

ANDRE CARREL relations could be negotiated and trade disputes resolved peacefully, thereby avoiding their escalation to armed conflict. Two years later, in 1949, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, and the United Kingdom signed the Treaty of Brussels, the precursor to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The objective of this treaty was not only to provide a common defense, but also and

of equal importance was the creation of a military organization that could forestall the escalation of political conflict between member nations into military conflict. Finally in 1951, in Europe, the cradle of the two world wars, six nations voluntarily joined in the European Coal and Steel Union (ECSC). The idea of a common market under supra-national governance for coal and steel, two critical components of the armament industry, was proposed by French foreign minister Robert Schuman as a way to make a renewed war between France and Germany, Europe’s arch enemies, “not only unthinkable, but materially impossible.” The ECSC was the precursor to the European Economic Council (EEC) and its successor, the European Union (EU). Today, 68 years after the landing of the allied troops on the beaches of Normandy, it is difficult to appreciate what our soldiers, as they disembarked from their landing crafts, were facing or, for that matter, what German soldiers defending their positions

were facing. It is equally difficult to remember the established norm of international political, economic, and cultural relations of the time. Today we may question the purpose and cost of NATO, we may shake our head at the endless and seemingly futile palaver at the UN and its many agencies, and we may be frustrated by having our economic sovereignty curtailed by global rules. The only purpose of these global organizations is to facilitate talk and negotiations so as to prevent war. None of these organizations are perfect; having been created by human beings, how could they be? It is in our best long-term interest to work with these organizations and to help improve their effectiveness. If we allow these organizations to fail, we had better prepare for the only alternative to talk: another global war. By then the sacrifices by those who fought and died on D-Day will have been in vain. Andre Carrel is a retired public sector administrator living in Terrace.

Dear Sir: I just read the letter submitted by Gayle Holtom regarding the closure of Thornhill Junior Secondary. I too was one of the first students to have the honour of attending the school.

More school memories When I heard of its closing, I was saddened, too. An end to an era for sure. What a shame it will be to see another beautiful building just sitting unused and empty. Today’s society is big on recycling. What a shame we can’t recycle those buildings into which so much money and time has been put. Adeline Nadon, Prince Rupert, BC

Pay a little more towards your mortgage each month

Dutch Valley needs friends run a referendum that will approve of a bylaw by the regional district. Then the regional district can collect the money and give it back to the province. One more time. The residents have to be friendly with the regional district and trust them. The regional district has to be friendly with the province, friendly with the residents and trust everyone and cooperate with all affected people. The province has to cooperate with everybody now, act now and trust that everyone will pay them back. They also have to find out where we live.

The problems seem obvious. There is no trust. The valley does not trust anyone. The owner of the material needed wants his profit. The province will not trust the regional district of cooperate with them. The regional district cannot trust anyone until the names are on a paper. Just a suggestion. Do I think it will work? Not a chance in heaven and that’s better than a chance in that other place. A conundrum. Me? As the Kingston Trio said in a song, “I don’t like anyone very much.” Les Watmough, Terrace, BC

It needs to be trucked to the site. Someone has to pay the truckers. The only one with the money is the province. The regional district has no available money and can get money only if the valley residents are willing to pay – a decision that will take 18 months, give or take a millennium. We don’t know if the regional district has any friendship ties with the valley. That will only be determined by the vote on any proposed bylaw to raise money. The province has to put the money up front, next week. So the province has to trust that the regional district can and will

She gets along with most dogs and does well with cats. Marley listens to basic commands and enjoys going for walks where she is learning not to pull so hard on a leash. Marley spent most of her days in a small enclosure, so would require a large fenced yard she could play in safely.

A YOUNG man who committed two break-ins, one to steal food and the other alcohol, was given a break by a provincial court judge here May 22. Dennis Jay Neasloss Jr., 21, was given a suspended sentence and 12 months probation with conditions after pleading guilty to one charge each of break and enter and commit indictable offence, break and enter with intent to commit offence and one breach of undertaking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[This] gives you quite a bit more liberty than the [60-day conditional] sentence suggested. I hope you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t screw it up because if you do, the next judge will be told of the kind of break you got here today and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably not going to get any more breaks,â&#x20AC;? said Judge David St. Pierre. On Oct. 17, 2011, three people broke into the Clarence Michiel building of Suwilaawks Community School by smashing a window and stole a kettle, coffee and cereal, prosecutor Barry Zacharias told court in reviewing the circumstances before sentencing. When arrested by police and taken to the detachment, Neasloss admitted that all three of them had broken the window to get in and left by a door, court heard. Two weeks before that date, he had been released on a promise to appear in court with conditions not to contact one of his accomplices in this break in and was put on a curfew from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. On June 29, 2011, thieves broke into the Shanghai Dynasty restaurant by using a rock to break a window and stole a cash register and four bottles of alcohol, which Neasloss admitted in a statement to police, court heard. Defence lawyer Scott Mulder told court his client had been on social

assistance for about three weeks and before that had been on a community living program paid for by the Ministry of Children and Families â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he had been a permanent ward of the ministry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while he worked on completing his high school. But when Neasloss dropped out of school, said Mulder, the ministry cut off his financial assistance, leaving him without anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He broke into the school and stole cereal, coffee and a kettle so he could feed himself,â&#x20AC;? said Mulder. Neasloss has taken responsibility for his actions all along, court heard. Before passing sentence, St. Pierre did tell Neasloss there are people who are glad to help and to provide assistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People usually are so impressed you asked for help, they bend over backwards to help you get it,â&#x20AC;? said St. Pierre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just have to be the type of person who will accept it.â&#x20AC;? Plenty of people have been in the same situation and gone on to become quite successful, said St. Pierre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can be one of those people,â&#x20AC;? he told Neasloss. Neasloss will have to complete 30 hours community work service, which St. Pierre advised could be in a field of interest and not just whatever his probation supervisor suggests, not go within 50 metres of the Clarence Michiel building or Shanghai Dynasty and write letters of apology to the restaurant and school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things like this hurt the community but you are part of the community. It is like burning down your own house. People want to feel safe in their own community. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be part of the problem Mr. Neasloss,â&#x20AC;? said St. Pierre.

HELP SHAPE B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE British Columbia is growing and so is our demand for electricity. Although British Columbians are doing more than ever to conserve electricity, B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall electricity use is expected to continue to increase by about 50 percent over the next 20 years, so we must plan now to ensure future generations can enjoy clean and reliable power. The Integrated Resources Plan (IRP) is BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan for acquiring the resources needed to meet our customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; demand for electricity. In 2011, we conducted a province-wide consultation to gather input into the development of the IRP. BC Hydro now has a draft plan and we are inviting the public, stakeholders, and First Nations across B.C. to provide feedback on it. BC Hydro is offering a number of ways for you to get involved in planning for the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future energy needs:

CALEDONIA PRINCIPAL Cam MacKay stands with one of the portables that will be an extra classroom at the school this fall to accommodate the increase in students.

Cal gets new portables CALEDONIA SENIOR Secondary is joining Skeena in having portable classrooms installed in anticipation of teaching more students this fall. Two double-wide classrooms were moved to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east parking lot last week to help with a student crunch coming as Grade 10 is added this fall to Grade 11 and Grade 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a tight squeeze,â&#x20AC;? said Cal principal Cam MacKay about the new students. From a current population of 500, Cal will be home to more than 700 students in the fall, although the school district is expecting that number will dip a little in the fall of 2013. The portables, which had been used elsewhere, will hold 30 students each and serve as classrooms in the regular block rotation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were already pre built and used as classrooms before,â&#x20AC;? said MacKay. Other improvements will be done to Caledonia itself. A wall in the library will be removed to make more space for Grade 10 books, a storage container will be brought in to hold engines and equipment for the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shops. Any further changes will wait until school resumes in the fall and be based on how the larger student body reacts to the current school layout. One possibility is moving lockers to different parts of the school and creating an area in which students can eat lunch, said MacKay. Right now students eat lunch in the locker area, in classrooms and in other areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at different avenues in which to help them out,â&#x20AC;? said MacKay. Other challenges are scheduling specific items such as labs within available facilities.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it entertaining,â&#x20AC;? said MacKay.

A PROPOSAL is being developed to train aboriginal people in the use of heavy duty equipment at a gravel operation near Gingolx. The Swamp Point location is ideal, says Brad Mercer-Tait, one of the people who has put together the Northern Aboriginal Machinery School plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can host a school in a camp-like environment and train in a defined area,â&#x20AC;? said Mercer-Tait.

Swamp Point has been under development for years and is under the ownership of Portland Canal Aggregates Corporation and Highbank Resources Ltd. It has offices in Houston, BC. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no firm start up date for the machinery school but MercerTait hopes a first class of up to 45 students can be organized within a year. And because Swamp Point is on the water,

equipment and supplies can be moved in as needed by barge, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you look at it, moving equipment by barge isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that expensive,â&#x20AC;? Mercer-Tait said. Each course will run for six weeks. Being able to work at a location like Swamp Point not only provides the school with a base but also helps its owners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get to have a

training course and they get someone to work at their site,â&#x20AC;? said MercerTait. Mercer-Tait said a training school with an aboriginal focus makes sense given the number of projects either underway or to start soon in areas of significant aboriginal population. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also working on a mobile training program to go where students live. One of the initial applications of the mobile

Fires probed PROVINCIAL INVESTIGATORS continue to probe three suspicious fires that occurred near the airport two weekends ago. Two blazes in slash piles on May 25 and a third May 26-27 in the cutblock south of the airport did not do any material damage and were put out by local firefighters. The investigators are from the forests ministry and RCMP are also involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These fires are suspected to be humancaused and may have been deliberately set,â&#x20AC;? said a forests ministry release last week. Anyone found deliberately setting fires can be fined from $100,000 to $1 million. Forest services officials also ask that people record descriptions of vehicles, along with licence plate numbers, if they observe any suspicious behaviour relating to the setting of fires.

program is selecting the students who will have the best chance for success, Mercer-Tait said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to make everyone successful in the workforce training program,â&#x20AC;? he continued. Mercer-Tait also said the practical portion of mobile training may also assist villages who need heavy duty equipment operators to prepare land for subdivisions, recreational or other facilities.

Crime Stoppers plans to increase visibility THE PROVINCIAL head of Crime Stoppers made a stop here as part of his tour around the province to visit the 29 community-based programs. Tim Kelley, executive director of BC Crime Stoppers, met with local president Ian Nankervis, vice-president Barb Petric-Raposo and Terrace RCMP community relations Const. Angela Rabut. He was also looking to review the operations of the local chapter and find out its needs so it can better carry out its duties. Local Crime Stoppers president Ian Nankervis says Kelley came to check on how they’re running the programs to make sure the branch is complying with the rules and regulations set out, to explain his job and give his advice on advertising and other matters. And he asked Kelley questions and challenged him. “He suggested texting is not big but we disagree,” said Nankervis, adding that the local Crime Stoppers is developing a website. Young people are more likely to send a text rather than fill out an online form, he said. Crime Stoppers began in 1976 in Albuquerque, New Mexico by a Canadian-born detective, who was investigating a gas station robbery cold case, said Kelley. “He asked the TV [station] to re-create the crime and the bottom line is it triggered someone’s memory and cracked the case,” said

The big thing was that the tips were anonymous and tipsters did not have to testify in court, which helped bring in people who didn’t want to talk to the police, he said. “We don’t want your name, we just want your information,” said Kelley. When Crime Stoppers began, it was an individual communitybased program, each of which had its own phone number and was run separately from the other branches. Now, there’s a Canada-wide phone number and Crime Stoppers has the capability to take tips online and by text message and by social network pages with tips being encrypted and anonymous. And there are local programs throughout Canada and 1,800 programs in 24 countries, he said. Crime Stoppers pays

Taxpayers on the hook for police dog costs LOCAL TAXPAYERS could be paying as much as $50,000 a year beginning next year to keep a RCMP dog and handler stationed here. The alternative is that Terrace might lose a locally-based RCMP dog and handler altogether, Terrace RCMP detachment commander Inspector Dana Hart explained to council last night in outlining a complex chain of events. The starting point is the transfer out of Prince Rupert of a police dog and handler paid for by the City of Prince Rupert, said Hart. Instead of replacing the dog and handler, the City of Prince Rupert has decided to spend the money on a senior RCMP inspector instead. And if that happens and there is no police dog in Prince Rupert, Hart continued, the Terrace-area dog, which is paid for by the province, could be shifted to the coast. “There is a possibility the dog would be relocated,” said Hart. “There is a strong possibility the dog will be relocated to Prince Rupert.” RCMP aircraft, based in Prince Rupert, can more efficiently fly a dog and handler where and when needed, he said as one reason for basing a dog and handler in that location. As it is, the Terrace-based provincially paid dog with handler covers an area from Houston to Haida Gwaii and the Yukon/Alaska border to Bella Bella. At the same time, the federal government is cutting a Canadian Border Service dog and handler in Prince Rupert. That being the case, said Hart, having a RCMP dog in Prince Rupert becomes even more crucial. In essence, said Hart, one police dog would be

doing the job of three. But the plan, as outlined by Hart, would see two RCMP dogs based in the northwest, one in Terrace and the other in Prince Rupert. Each city would pay for half of the cost of their own service, estimated at $50,000. The provincial government would then pay for the other half of each dog, which amount to the same as if it were paying for one dog by itself. Hart said having each city pay 50 per cent of the cost is cheaper than having each dog be considered a municipal position. If each dog was a municipal position, each city’s costs would be 70 per cent with the province paying the remaining 30 per cent. Hart did add that the city council in Prince Rupert and the provincial government have to approve of the plan. Councillors asked city finance director Ron Bowles about the impact to the budget. He said the $50,000 cost would amount to a 0.5 per cent local tax increase. The plan would come in effect next year, leaving council some time to find the money. Councillor Marylin Davies asked how badly Terrace needs a police dog. Hart said keeping two RCMP dogs in the northwest means officers can divided up responsibilities and coverage areas and shorten response times. Councillor Brian Downie said that it looks like the city doesn’t have a lot of choice given the worth of having a police dog here. “I fully support having a police dog ... it’s very important,” said Mayor Dave Pernarowski.

Grad to go on as planned GRAD CEREMONIES this week and next at public schools won’t be affected by the refusal of teachers to take part in extracurricular activities. Principals and other non-union staff members and parents are filling in where needed, says Coast Mountains school board chair Art Erasmus. At graduation, teachers do such tasks as read the names of the graduates, which others can do, he said. Teachers aren’t taking part in extra-curricular activities due to their ongoing contract dispute with the provincial government. Caledonia Senior Secondary School prin-

cipal Cam MacKay said his school’s graduation will go on. “We’ll make sure it goes off and the parents are really doing 99.9 per cent of the role,” he said, adding administrative staff are working on grad. A grad prom and dry grad are being organized by parents. Parkside Secondary

School’s graduation won’t be affected as the ceremony is during school time. “Everything will still be fine,” said school principal Louise Ormerod. Parents, administration and youth workers are working on graduation at Parkside. Caledonia holds its graduation this Friday,

June 8 and Parkside holds its graduation on Thursday, June 14. Thornhill Junior Secondary School, which is closing when school is out this month, is holding a farewell event the afternoon and early evening of June 22. There’s no formal program planned at this event.

NOTICE Kitimat-Stikine Copperside Estates Street Lighting Service Area Establishment Bylaw No. 612, 2012 The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine proposes to convert and amend the “Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine Copperside Estates Street Lighting Speciﬁed Area Establishment Bylaw No. 259, 1987 by adopting “Kitimat-Stikine Copperside Estates Street Lighting Service Area Establishment Bylaw No. 612, 2012. Bylaw 612 is currently at third reading and subject to Inspector of Municipalities approval will be adopted as early as the June 22, 2012 Board meeting. The purpose of the Bylaw is to: t Increase the maximum annual requisition limit that can be levied from $5,000 to $6,250 to meet current operation needs and provide room for incremental future increases as required. t Expand the methods of raising revenues that are available under the Local Government Act to include one or more of the following: property value taxes; parcel taxes; fees and charges; revenues raised by way of agreement, enterprise, gift, grant and other means authorized. t This street lighting service was established by bylaw in 1987 and was approved by petition method. It was created to provide street lighting to the Copperside Estates Subdivision. The $5,000 maximum annual requisition limit set in the bylaw was to meet initial needs and provide increases over time as required. t To continue to provide the street lighting service the proposal is to increase the maximum requisition to $6,250. t Costs to provide this service are expected to continue to be recovered primarily by means of a property value tax based on the net taxable value of land and improvements. Based on current assessments the residential tax rate for different requisition amounts are estimated as follows: ➥ $0.27/$1,000 of net taxable value of land and improvements on a requisition of $5,000. ➥ $0.34/$1,000 on a requisition of $6,250. Persons wishing to inquire or inspect this bylaw should contact the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine at #300, 4545 Lazelle Avenue, Terrace, BC V8G 4E1, telephone 250.615.6100 or 1.800.663.3208, ofﬁce hours are from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday excluding holidays.

Fish rules hurt business Genge said he’s requested a meeting with Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin. Genge did acknowledge the other side of the fish-regulation coin, which is preserving a rich fishery. That’s what the provincial government had in mind when it brought in the restrictions, says an official with the natural resources ministry. “There was a problem with crowding in the watershed,” said Andrew Wilson, director of the Fish, Wildlife and Habitat Management branch of the ministry. The regulations were made with this in mind, but Wilson said that many were consulted prior to regulations being made. “It’s complicated,” he said. “We’re dealing with a lot of varying interests in the resource, and everybody has different per-

spectives of what they’d like to see.” Wilson explained that the regulations were made after an in-depth consultation process. “It was a long consultation process that took three years in total,” he said. That process involved working groups with representation from resident anglers, guides, First Nations, local business and tourism stakeholders, he said. Research was done through community consultation, and three working groups with each one representing a different geographic area. “We tried to do as best we could to meet objectives,” he said. But the regulations aren’t set in stone. In two years, information about how the regulations are

working will be collected, and unintended consequences of regulations will be considered then. “The plan is to review the following two seasons,” said Wilson. “We’re going to be gathering info over two years.” In the meantime, local fishing guide Andrew Rushton is pleased with the changes. “I think it’s a positive thing... if we want to maintain quality fishing up here,” he said. “I think its been a real benefit for local anglers that have been crowded off their own rivers.” Rushton added that non-residents have less restrictions than guides, and that despite this, he appreciates the regulations because they will preserve the quality of the local fishery. “Really the local guides have less rights than those non-residents,” he said.

Parkside graduates highest number of students By MARGARET SPEIRS P A R K S I D E SECONDARY School congratulates its largest graduation class in the last six years. About 50 grads will walk across the stage and get their diplomas later this month. That’s up from 44 grads last year, 40 grads in 2010, 27 grads in 2009, 24 in 2008, 20 in 2007, 12 in 2006, and the year before principal Louise Ormerod came to the school was three grads. This is partly thanks to the closeness between students and staff and an increase in enrolment at the school, which has a cap of 120 on the number of students that can attend, leaving a waiting list of about 40, says Ormerod. The cap covers all grades at the school, Grades 8 to 12, and has been there for a few years, she says. The cap on students is due to space and size of the school and number of students for each teacher, says Ormerod. “My teachers are only allowed to have a certain number [of students] in the classrooms,” she says, adding it’s for space reasons too. Student to teacher ratio in the classroom is 18:1, and usually there are two adults in the classroom, a teacher and one worker. But because the

PARKSIDE SECONDARY valedictorian Raylena Lacroix, right, and principal’s choice Jessica Miller are this year’s top two graduates. students work on selfpaced programs, they can start at the school and graduate anytime through the year, she says. “As soon as somebody leaves, I do have about 40 students [waitlisted] and one of those comes into that spot,” she says. Those who do finish partway through the school year come back to graduate with their classmates. The cap also helps so the staff and students don’t lose their close-

ness, she said. “Right now we have the opportunity to be close to the students and the more students we have, I’m worried about losing that connectiveness, because the students and staff are quite connected,” she said about keeping student numbers capped. There are different programs too: school completion which is students who aren’t able to complete a regular academic program and those who work at regular education ministry-

designated courses and do have a regular graduation program, she explains, like Caledonia or any other school. School completion students don’t get a regular Dogwood, another word for diploma that’s used at Parkside, says Ormerod. But they do get a chance to take an adult grad program when they’re age 19 and older. “It’s totally different, says Ormerod about the adult grad program. “They would have to come back to school

and work at regular courses but not as many as regular programs, so it’s taking into account life experience.” This adult program is for students who want to go on to college, university, or trade school. All students sign a contract and, together with a teacher, go over their education plan, which sorts out what they need to graduate, and then they sign the contact agreeing to that plan to do those courses, she explains.

Legion hands out donations By LAUREN BENN THE TERRACE Legion had its annual donation presentation this May, handing out money it raises throughout the year to local community groups. Saturday May 5, a crowd gathered at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 13’s hall on Legion Ave. to see awards and cheques presented as well as new members initiated. Money is donated from the Legion’s

gaming account, said president Debbie Sinnott, adding that at this particular event more than $12,000 was donated. Donations went toward the local 747 Air Cadets, local Girl Guides and Scouts Canada, Terrace Pipes and Drums, Terrace Churches Food Bank, The Dease Lake Girl Guides of Canada, a pre-Olympic training camp to be held in August for the Special Olympics, student travel to the Skills Canada Trade Competi-

tion, Terrace Youth Curling, the Pacific Northwest Music Festival, Caledonia Senior Secondary’s Dry Grad Committee and a trip to Ottawa for four students from Terrace’s Centennial Christian School. “We have fairly regular groups that come to us throughout the year,” said Sinnott who noted that Terrace’s Royal Canadian Legion Branch 13 is involved in supporting the community all year round.

Posthumous award given in Victoria AN EMERGENCY services lifetime achievement award was presented last week by the provincial government to the wife of a local man who passed away April 20. Therza Mandur accepted the award from public safety minister Shirley Bond on behalf of her late husband, Joe Mandur Sr. She was accompanied at the May 30 presentation in Victoria by son Joe Mandur Jr. The following is the award citation: “In 1989, Terrace and its neighbouring communities were shocked by the tragic death of a young boy who drowned in an icy pond. In response to this terrible loss, this year’s Lifetime Achievement Volunteer Award recipient, Joe Mandur, approached several members of the local dive community to form an aquatic search and rescue team. This small group of five grew into the Terrace Water Rescue Team, which is now recognized by the RCMP, Canadian Coast Guard, Emergency Management BC, and Department of National Defence. Joe’s expertise, leadership, and experience over the past 20 years were foundational to the team’s ability to provide life saving water and surface ice rescue services to Terrace, nearby communities, and across the province. As a leader, Joe was recognized as a humble, highly skilled, and patient mentor who eagerly encouraged, supported and trained more than three generations of Water Rescue Team members to do their jobs safely with precision and excellence. Sadly, Joe passed away recently after his own heroic battle with cancer. He leaves behind a lasting legacy of commitment, community service, and the respect and gratitude of all those that he knew.”

“We just offer it (regular grad like Caledonia) in alternative ways,” she says. The contract lets students take ownership of, and engagement in, their education, she says. “It’s a self-paced program so we don’t have somebody standing in front of the class teaching all of the students. They’re working on individual courses and the teacher is there to support students,” she says, adding a youth worker is there too to also help or support. So Parkside teachers have to be versatile. “In their class, they need to be able to teach all the subject areas and we divide them into grades,” says Ormerod, adding that one teacher will be teaching, for example, Grade 10 so the majority of students will be Grade 10 and the teacher is able to offer math, sciences, socials, and English. June 14 is graduation day where diplomas, scholarships and awards will be handed out to students dressed in their caps and gowns at the R.E.M. Lee Theatre. Then in the evening they go to the college for a dinner and dance, which is their dry grad and prom all at once and parents are invited, says Ormerod. Like other schools, the students still have exams in the weeks afterward. This year’s valedictorian is Raylena Lacroix and the principal’s award winner is Jessica Miller. Miller was chosen because she’s an overall student leader, says Ormerod. “Whatever she does, I know she’ll certainly be directed to helping people,” she said, adding she wasn’t sure what Lacroix wanted to do, but knows both want to attend postsecondary school.

would like to send a heart felt thanks to all the people that supported our Annual Garage Sale Fundraiser and also to the many people and businesses that made very generous donation of great merchandise, a special thank you to Mr Jonathan Lambert for all his efforts in supplying the large load of birch ﬁrewood. The Terrace Support Group was set up 18 years ago with the idea of supporting people with Multiple Sclerosis, and family members, and anyone interested in M.S., with current information on new treatments, drugs and clinical trials that are in progress. We are a very informal group of people that meet every two weeks for coffee and have a few laughs, meeting at one of our member’s home. We have a phone list of members, and we phone them the Monday before the meeting. The generous funding that was raised over the weekend will go a long way in supporting this very valuable group and we are always open to new members. Feel free to phone our contact people, as to when the next meeting will be. Doug Mackay 250.635.4809 Val Haugland 250.635.3415

She was predeceased by her loving husband Ken, mother Dorothy thy Fry, and father Norman Fry. Judy will be lovingly remembered by her son Jamie, (Leanne), daughter Kelly (Chad), granddaughters Calleigh and Leighton, â&#x20AC;&#x153;sistersâ&#x20AC;? June Dundas (the late Elwyn), Gwen Watkins (the late Reg), Margaret Beatty (Joe), Rosemary Maughan (Robin), nieces, nephews, extended family, many great friends and most of all, her beloved â&#x20AC;&#x153;Princess.â&#x20AC;? Family and friends gathered at the Skeena Valley Golf and Country Club on May 29, 2012 for a celebration of her life. Mom was an active member and volunteer with many organizations throughout the community. She was an avid golfer, curler, gardener, community volunteer, member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion, and she loved being outdoors. Mom was happiest when spending time with her granddaughters and family, golďŹ ng eighteen holes with the ladies, and when she was laying on â&#x20AC;&#x153;herâ&#x20AC;? beach in the Cook Islands. Mom was an amazing woman. She was our rock, our inspiration and most of all, our hero. There will never be a day go by when she is not in our hearts, our thoughts and our memories. She will be greatly missed but NEVER forgotten. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, a donation to the Skeena Valley Golf and Country Club or the charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Men’s rugby sets a decade’s record TERRACE’S NORTHMEN set a 10-year record on May long weekend. It was the first time the team won a game outside northwestern B.C. — but it wasn’t just one game the team won at the Edmonton’s Rugby Fest tournament that weekend. The local men’s rugby team came fourth out of 23 teams from across western Canada in their division, won five games, and made it to the playoffs. “It was unreal,” said player Evan van Dyk. “We’ve never actually won a game outside of northwestern B.C. in the last 10 years.” The tournament started off round robin style, and the Northmen won each of their four games played on the first day. In the first game, the Northmen schooled the Cold Lake Penguins, taking a 45 - 0 win. “It started off really well, we dominated it really,” said team captain Walker Main. “We started off strong and finished strong. “I think we had possession of the ball the majority of the time and the few times they did get possession our defence was too strong for them and we would turn it over and gain possession of the ball.” Next the team played the Prince Rupert Seamen, taking a 29 - 17 win. “We got all those points right in the first half,” said Main, explaining that the team then subbed out their starters giving rookie players time on the field. “They started clawing back and then we subbed back our starters.” In the third game, the Northmen beat the Parkland Sharks 32 -5 before defeating the Edmonton Pirates 35 - 12. “With the Edmonton team ...the average guy was double the size of us,” said Main. “It was really impressive to me to see some of our guys there a third of the size of some of their players.”

“After a couple big tackles from Adam Linteris and Jon Doane, we showed them what we’re all about and we weren’t going to back off and took it to ‘em.” That series of wins took the team into Sunday’s round of competition where the top two teams from each pool competed for a spot in the final games. Games were played in a single knockout tournament style. The Northmen’s first game that day was against Winnipeg Tropics, bringing in a 27 - 17. This brought the team into the semi finals. “In that game every single player on the field made a tackle ... that stood out to me ... a tackle that meant something in winning that game.” The next game played was against the Calgary Saints, and despite a 57 - 12 loss, the Northmen advanced to the finals. “Well, their team ... 90 per cent of them were from the U.K.,” said Main. “They had one player on their team on the wing that’s training for next Olympics, so they gave him the ball a lot.” “You can imagine all he needed was a little bit of room on the side and he was gone.” For the bronze, the team played the Williams Lake Rustlers, losing 22 -12. “It looked like we were on our way, but there were four offside penalties we took,” said Main. “I touched the scrum half before I touched the ball.” “In quick games like that, it only takes a couple penalties to get you behind,” he said. “It was probably the toughest game we played all tournament, lots of tackling.” Despite two losses, the tournament was a big win overall for the team, said Main. “I’ve been playing for the Northmen for about 13 years and it’s probably the best time I’ve ever had,” he said.

Local triathlete qualiﬁes for summer games THE KERMODE Kids’ Triathlon saw three northwest athletes qualify for the BC Summer Games. Athletes who qualified are Thomas Christianson from Terrace, Courtney Chanin from Kitimat and Morgan Weir from Prince Rupert, who will be competing in Surrey July 19 – 22. “Congratulations to these young people,” said Thomas. There were many smiles and lots of sweat as the 26 athletes ages eight to 15 worked their way through each event. Race organizer Crystal Thomas was extremely pleased with the way the kids cheered and helped each other out. “Some of the kids who finished the race went back on the course to cheer and offer high fives to their competitors,” she said. “So rewarding to see a sense of support for everyone working hard.” Besides Terrace, Kitimat, Smithers and Prince Rupert

were also well represented at the event. The competitors swam at the aquatic centre, then headed to the college to complete the bike and run portions. The age groups competed with different lengths to race in the swim, bike and run: age eight and nine swam 100 m, biked 5 km and ran 1 km; ages 10 and 11-year-olds swam 200m, biked 5 km and ran 2 km; ages 12 and 13 swam 300 m, biked 10 km and ran 3 km; and ages 14 and 15 swam 400 m, biked 10 km and ran 4 km. In the age eight and nine boys division, first was Logan Parker with a time of 19:25, second was Landon Franes in 22:15, third went to Jake Morse in 25:16 and fourth was Sam Kafka in 26:38. Girls in the same age group finished with first place going to Emma Movold for a time of 26:03, and second to Caelyn Christianson in 30:24. For ages 10 and 11 boys, Aidan

Carter crossed the finish line first in 28:08, Carter Chanin was second with 29:57, Michael Seery came third with 32:17, fourth was Renzo Zanardo in 33:56, and fifth was Kobi Franes in 36:14. The same aged girls finished with Ainslie Hollett in first with 28:41, Kaitlyn Seery right behind for second with 29:47, Janae Christianson in third with 32:47, Emily Harrison in fourth with 36:23, and Kate Morse in fifth place with 38:39. The age 12 and 13 boys’ winner was Caleb Chanin in 47:56. The girls finished with Avery Movold in first with 39:16, Jordon Weir in second with 48:38, Seaynna Lee in third with 54:35, Kennedy Weir in fourth with 55:04, and Jenna Quinlan Hind in fifth with 56:06. First place for boys age 14 and 15 went to Thomas Christianson with his time of 38:42. And first place for girls went to Courtney Chanin in 41:13, and second to Morgan Weir in 56:42.

Spirit Bears play hard for second Contributed THE TERRACE Spirit Bears Special Olympics soccer team competed in a regional qualifier tournament in Mission on May 19 and 20. Playing their first tournament in seven years and with mostly rookie players, the team played four games in a fiveteam C division. But despite being a newly formed team, the Spirit Bears earned second place after one loss and some hard-fought wins. Game 1 versus the Ridge Meadow Dragons saw Terrace with several good scoring chances in the first half but a failure to budge the twine, while allowing four goals. In the second half, Nathan Readman scored a hat trick but the team lost 9 - 3. Game 2 versus the Coquitlam Tornados saw Terrace cure its scoring woes with a hat trick from Clinton Ho, two goals from Readman and singles from Stan Rinaldi, Bryan Smith and Laura Dale. Goalkeepers Cynthia Hawke and Mike Stra-

chan with help from fullback Hannah Dale shut the door for a final score 8 - 0. Game 3 was against the Nelson Robins. Terrace hit the goalposts three times early on in this one but then found its touch. With help from midfielders Scott Savard, Caleb Wacholtz and Laura Dale, Readman scored four, Rinaldi scored three and Smith added a single. Terrace won this game 8 - 4. The Prince Rupert Flamekickers were Terrace’s Game 4 opponent, and that game made for a soggy match as it was played in the rain. But no amount of rain could stop the sizzle from the heat each team put on the other. Prince George opened up an early two goal lead and led throughout. Terrace fought back and kept it close with strong efforts from several players at both ends of the field. With four minutes left, Readman tied it, then with two minutes to go, he broke in alone and slammed home the winner. The team took second place in the C division, with a 6 - 5 win over Prince George.

Road race riders post faster overall times THE FIRST road race of the year saw some of the event’s fastest and closest times for its 30 riders. “Thirty competitors ... is very good and evidence of growing enthusiasm for the sport of road cycling,” said Michael Bruce, one of the organizers of the Kitimat River Challenge, adding that included lots of new riders. Although the weather started out with a north wind and rain, it

cleared up with a light tailwind for overall faster race times than often seen in the past, added Bruce. Top riders were Terrace’s Vince Druoin, who came first in the men’s elite category with a time of 1:31:06, which was good enough for second place overall behind overall winner and men’s masters first place rider Peter Krause of Smithers, who finished in 1:31:05. Men’s elite second place was

ur temperate rainforests are acidic. The forests in Eastern Canada are not. Rain turned acidic by the effluent from coal fired generators is bad for them. Very bad. Suspecting that acid rain posed a serious threat to the freshwater ecosystems in much of North America, the federal government of the day wisely created a protected area in northwestern Ontario that encompassed 58 small lakes and their watersheds with a view to monitoring and assessing the impacts of acid deposition on natural habitats. With the stroke of the legislative pen, the largest laboratory in the world was created. It was dubbed the Experimental Lakes Area, or ELA for short. The idea was brilliant. When it comes to studying the widespread impact of wide scale pollution, a room full of test tubes and other scientific paraphernalia simply won’t do. Scientists needed to operate on the grand scale. They needed to work in context to accurately identify the trickledown effects of pollutants in the natural environment. That was exactly what the ELA enabled them do. A few years after its creation in 1968, researchers working in this unique outdoor laboratory provided crucial data that led to the untimely creation of the legislation limiting the nitrous oxide and sulphur dioxide emissions that created acid rain and in so

Third was Terrace’s Willie Muller with 1:31:25. The remaining top riders in their categories are all from Terrace. Brodie Lamarche won the U23 category with 1:33:30.

Christine LeClerc finished at the top of women’s elite with 2:11:58. Women’s masters winner Autumn Martindale finished in 1:56:31, which also made her the fastest woman over the finish line and a 22nd place overall. Second in women’s masters was Maryka Rypma with 1:59:41 and third was Tobi Tabata in 2:04:54. Lone youth rider Graeme Linton came in at 2:15:31.

The ELA

Besides Terrace, riders came from Prince Rupert, New Hazelton, Telkwa, Smithers and Kitimat. The Terrace Off Road Cycling Association hosted this race and hosts two more road races: the Tour de Jackpine June 10 and the Skeena River Challenge Aug. 12. Bruce said there is always a recreational component to the races so he invites all road riders to come out and participate.

Working with a modest budget, the scientists at the ELA have studied everything from the effects of forest fires on ecosystems to the ongoing effects of climate change. They have published more than a thousand peer-reviewed articles and received the highest awards the scientific community can bestow. The place has also been a training ground for undergraduate and graduate students who, throughout its 44 year history, have worked alongside resident scientists to generate data on water quality and the effects of chemicals on the environment that has become the gold standard for scientists the world over. Water is infinitely more valuable than oil. We have 25 per cent of the earth’s freshwater within our borders, the largest amount of any country in the world. We have an obligation to be stewards of this precious resource. The ELA is an essential part of that stewardship, but Stephen Harper and his short-sighted cronies are set to withdraw funding for the ELA. This will be another irrational and irresponsible act by a rogue government that will further damage Canada’s international reputation and could ultimately undermine the health of every citizen in this country. I urge you to check out www.saveela. org for more information, and to let this radical right wing government know they have to rethink their priorities.
