Regional jobs czar to be based here THE PROVINCIAL government is basing a senior official in Terrace to better help prepare the local labour force to deal with an expanding regional economy. It’s part of a $540,000 package containing a locals-first focus as major economic projects either get underway or are about to start. The core of the package is organizing training programs to provide the kind of skilled workers needed by companies as their projects develop. It’s something that’s not been done before in B.C. and, in part, takes in lessons learned from northeastern BC where a burgeoning oil and gas industry created a demand for skilled workers, says provincial jobs minister Pat Bell. His ministry is providing the money to BC Hydro who will do the actual hiring of the official. Speaking while in Terrace last week, Bell said he wants to avoid

having to bring in outside workers while people within the region remain unemployed. “Our first responsibility is to ensure local people are employed and by that I generally mean from here and then from B.C.,” said Bell. “Once you’ve done that, we would then look at pan-Canadian,” said Bell. He said the task of the person to be hired is to examine the skills needed as companies set up shop in the region and then develop a labour force to meet those demands. That would involve building partnerships with training facilities as well as the companies themselves, Bell continued. “Do we have sufficient resources at the [Northwest Community] college to meet the needs,” Bell said in outlining one key consideration. The official, who will be hired under a contract that expires in

Oct. 2013, will have a rank equivalent to that of a senior position in the provincial civil service. It means, said Bell, the person will have the authority and flexibility to move quickly when required. “That person needs to have a level of influence to make a quick decision,” he added. Bell said it will be his job to supply the political muscle to help the official out when required in dealing with large companies, adding that the task of training a northwest workforce needs to be done cooperatively by all concerned. “I have access to those levels,” said Bell of chief executives of large companies. Bell did acknowledge there aren’t enough people in the region to fill the demand for labour should projects be built as planned.

Enbridge claims refuted

■ Dear Stephen SOCIAL WORKERS Greg McQuarrie, Brenda Miklavic, Rob Hart and Maria Koerner sign letters to Prime Minister Stephen Harper asking him to restore the budgets of national aboriginal organizations. For that story, see Page A12.

TWO LOCAL First Nations say they haven’t signed any deals with Enbridge to take on an ownership stake in its planned Northern Gateway Pipelines project. And Kitsumkalum chief councillor Don Roberts has called insulting an Enbridge claim that 60 per cent of the First Nations along the 1,170km pipeline route have signed on. Roberts said Enbridge is trying to use First Nations’ constitutionally-enshrined rights and title as a way of bolstering its project. “[Enbridge] has got to show where it’s coming from,” said Roberts, of what First Nations account for the 60 per cent statistic. “If Enbridge is wrong on those figures ... it’s perjury. “I’m really finding it hard to believe,” he continued. “[Enbridge is} playing around with people.” “Almost 60 per cent of eligible

Aboriginal communities along the proposed right of way, representing 60 per cent of the First Nations’ population (and 80 per cent of the combined First Nations’ and Metis’ population) have agreed to be part owners of the proposed Northern Gateway pipelines,” Enbridge said in a June 5 press release. The equity stake amounts to 10 per cent of the proposed $5.5 billion project to transport Alberta crude to a marine export terminal at Kitimat. “Half of the equity units taken up went to groups in British Columbia, and the other half to groups in Alberta,” said the statement in attributing the information to Enbridge official Paul Stanway. While Kitselas First Nation chief councillor Judy Gerow says it has also not signed an equity deal with Enbridge it has not said

it either supports or rejects the project. The Kitselas are conducting a technical review of the section of the pipeline which would affect its traditional territory. “We don’t have any type of agreement with Enbridge,” said chief councillor Judy Gerow last week. “In fact, we’re still undergoing our independent study.” The independent study, she said, is so that the Kitselas can review environmental and technical information on its own instead of relying on what it is told by Enbridge. “Well, we just want to make sure, you know, that we know what’s going on and that it’s coming from our people,” said Gerow. “They’ll put their report together and it will be presented to council for a decision.”

Thousands of jobs... Over 3,000 direct construction jobs will be created in British Columbia at the peak of construction. As well, 560 new long-term jobs will be generated in BC.

Millions of dollars for community projects... Over 30 years, more than $1.2 billion in tax revenue for BC can be used to strengthen public services. Enbridge will also provide $100 million to support communities near the pipeline.

World-class safety standards... Carefully planned and built to respect the terrain and wildlife, the pipeline will be monitored 24/7. To protect the waters and coastline of BC, marine facilities will adopt additional navigation aids, increase emergency response capabilities, and implement new land-based radar so that Canada’s Northwest Coast is safer for all marine trafﬁc.

A stronger BC economy with new trade partners... There will be more opportunities and towns will prosper. It will open up global markets for our energy exports and increase Canada’s Gross Domestic Product by $270 billion.

Road work underway CITY repaving projects are well underway now that a pulverizing machine has ground up old asphalt into a base on five streets. The paving work that follows is being done by Terrace Paving and a block of Agar on the southside was one of the first to get a new surface. The pulverizing work was done by the local firm of White Bear Industries. “After grinding we’ve graded the roads up so they’re traversable,” said city roads foreman Henry Craveiro of the work done by the pulverizer. Craveiro said that by using a local pulverizer, the city saved money by not having to pay to bring one in from elsewhere. Being resurfaced are two blocks of Agar Ave. from Molitor St. to Braun St., part of McConnell Ave. on the bench, Straume Ave. from Kalum St. to Sparks St. Work and Greig Ave. near Clinton St. While the pulverizer grinds up asphalt and deposits it on the road as crush used for the base, other work is involved to prepare roads for pavement, Craveiro explained.

The crush is graded so that the road is properly sloped and drainage issues are dealt with. Other roads slated for repair include Lakelse Ave. from Eby St. to Emerson St., Kalum St. from Lakelse Ave. to Park St. and also a small bit of Sparks St. in that area, and Sparks St. from Lakelse Ave. to Lazelle Ave., although they don’t require pulverizing. Some roads will be done instead with something called a milling machine, which is coming from southern B.C. The city will be trying to piggyback on a machine being brought up by RioTinto Alcan for use in Kitimat so that it can minimize the machine relocation costs. The milling machine strips asphalt from the top of the road to allow asphalt to be laid overtop, explained Craveiro. Once pavement is stripped from the top, it’s taken away to be used as gravel by the city for other purposes. Other work to be done this summer includes a full road rebuild on the 4500 Block of Scott, slated for July.

THE CITY of Terrace is losing one of its top officials to the City of Kamloops. Marvin Kwiatkowski, the city’s director of development services, starts next month as the Kamloops director of development and engineering services. His responsibilities with the city here include engineering, planning, building inspection, business licensing, mapping, bylaw enforcement and environmental issues. He’ll add transportation to that list in Kamloops and the number of staff he’ll supervise will increase from 14 to 62. Kwiatkowski has been the director of development services here since 2003 and has worked for the city since 1995. He did a brief stint

Mayor Dave Pernarowski wished Kwiatkowski the best. “It’s always difficult for an organization when they lose a valued member of their senior management team. Marvin has done an outstanding job for the City of Terrace for many years,” he said.

Helicopter wreckage examined by experts THE WRECKAGE of a helicopter that crashed west of Terrace June 1 is now in Vancouver being examined by the federal transportation safety body. The helicopter was shipped to Vancouver after an on-site investigation was completed by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada. Currently, the B.C. Coroner’s service is investigating the details about the deaths of Terrace’s 44-year-old Peter Bryant, 48-year-old Blake Erickson of Sicamous and 44-year-old Arnaud Jolibois of Banff. Investigators from the board, which is charged with determining the cause of a crash, are now looking at various aspects of the wreckage to determine what cause the crash that killed the three men. The Bailey Helicopters’ aircraft wreckage will be examined to determine things like impact direction and strength and also if the mechanical components of the helicopter were working properly. “We look at what’s broken, who, where, how

things are bent to try and determine angle of impact,” said Bill Yearwood, regional manager of the Transportation Safety Board. Prior to transporting wreckage to Vancouver, Yearwood noted the on site investigation is very important. “The job there was to try and identify direction of flight ... to look at wreckage before it’s disturbed,” said Yearwood, adding the “original impact condition” provides such evidence. The board will also look into factors such as weather and other environmental conditions as well as the human factor. “It’s a methodical process to try and eliminate issues,” said Yearwood. Once the investigation is complete, a report will be written and submitted for various review processes prior to being released. This process takes roughly one year for the findings of the investigation to be released.

Wrong owner named CLAUDIA LEE is not the owner of the Wild Duck Motel and RV Park as stated in a story published in the June 6, 2012 issue of The Terrace Standard. Lee, in fact, is the owner of the Copper River Motel. Jim and Vera McClenaghan are the owners of the Wild Duck Motel. The story, “New fish regs affect tourism,” concerned new fishing regulations which limit what tourists can do on local rivers. While Vera McClenaghan says the Wild Duck Motel has lost anglers as a clientele because of the

new fishing regulations, it is busy because of the increase in industrial activity in the area. “Thank god for the jobs in Terrace,” she said. McClenaghan took part in a working group hosted by the provincial government leading up the new fishing restrictions. She said she argued against the changes because of they would hurt tourism here. McClenaghan also sits on the board of the Kermodei Tourism Society, the group which promotes tourism and activity in Terrace and area.

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

EDITORIAL

Handshake IN THE complicated business of negotiating land claims it’s called a “handshake agreement,” the moment when negotiators for the federal and provincial governments and First Nations decide they have a document which could lead to an agreement in principle. By all accounts, handshake agreements between the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas and the federal and provincial governments are very close, perhaps within a matter of weeks or even days. Once that happens the proposed agreements will then be released. To become official, the agreements must first be ratified by the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum and then by the federal and provincial governments. It all sounds very dry and technical but an agreement in principle contains all the essential elements and details that will go into a final treaty. Very little is likely to change. The release of the agreements will reveal a glimpse into the economic, social, political and cultural future of Kitselas and Kitsumkalum. Some of the details may make people nervous. Yet the key from treaties is certainty and a solid base upon which foundations for success can be built. What’s important for us all is that if the treaties set a path for the Kitsleas and Kitsumkalum, they also set a path for Terrace, Thornhill and the rural area. That handshake about to happen represents one between neighbours as much as it does between negotiators and lawyers. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

The Mail Bag Pipeline plan springing leaks

People do add up in this world Dear Sir: I am writing in response to Shachi Kurl’s letter claiming local business taxation is not fair at all in relation to the tax burden of homeowners, (column, The Terrace Standard, May 30, 2012). First of all, Shachi isn’t even from Terrace, as near as I can tell she lives in Richmond, BC.

She is obviously writing at the behest of business owners in Terrace, but why did she have to do this for them? Second, there is a major difference in the function of home ownership and business ownership. A home owner lives in their home; it is an overall expense except in terms of equity

that can easily be wiped out if real estate takes a downturn. Business on the other hand functions solely to profit the business owner(s). Many expenses toward the cost of doing business can be used to reduce the tax burden business pays. Some taxes, fees, licences, fuel costs, insurance, interest payments,

accounting costs, maintenance and repairs, rent, salaries, etc... etc... can all be used to reduce business taxes. No plain homeowner can write down a $7,000 new roof on their income taxes, a business land owner can. In business, losses from past years can be carried forward to reduce the tax burden in

future years, and business investment losses can also be used to lower taxes, something a homeowner can only dream of. Third, it is very easy to find groups to represent the interests of business, but nobody speaks for working class people in this town.

Dear Sir: Anyone in favour of the Northern Gateway pipeline should do a bit of research. How about checking out the Exxon Valdez lawsuit history? This spill was 23 years ago and the various lawsuits still drag on. Fishermen, cannery workers and others have, in most cases, received no compensation at all – others have received very tiny settlements. Some residents, including the former mayor of Cordova, committed suicide because their livelihood has been totally destroyed. Is Enbridge any more trustworthy than the wonderful people who ruined so much of Prince William Sound? Do you really think oil company execs care about your welfare? If you believe they do, then check out their treatment of Cordova and Valdez residents. Do you believe our government is concerned with jobs? They and their rich buddies outsource as many jobs as possible. If the pipeline is completed and the companies start getting extremely high prices from Chinese sales, do you think our own prices won’t rise? There are oil execs who think we should be paying European prices right now. The Alaskan spill eventually covered 2,100 kilometres of coast line and ruined 28,000 square kilometres of ocean. Ask the people of Cordova and Valdez what they think of oil companies and their leaky tankers now. If Harper has his way, I shudder for the pathetic future of this beautiful region. Earle Tupper, Terrace, BC

Health care under attack from within

eo-conservative economists have stressed “living within our means,” being “economically responsible,” and generally just lowering public expectations of what governments can or should do. (I stress the word “general” here, because the hundreds of corporate lobbyists that visit government offices consistently deliver sitting MPs advice on what government can and should do for them. Usually these requests have little or nothing to do with general welfare but plenty to do with greasing the wheels of corporate activities.) Given the high profile nature of health care among Canadians, as well as the lucrative market in delivering health care goods and services, it’s little wonder that corporations of all kinds from manufacturers of medical technology to drug companies and insurance providers are drooling to get a greater slice of the pie. When universal public medical insurance was instituted through the Canada Health Act, some of

these markets became strictly regulated. Most user fees for physicians’ services are prohibited under the act. Insurance is provided by a single government agency in each of the provinces and, until now, was guaranteed to a national standard. This government singlepayer plan creates tremendous cost efficiencies. Compared to the bewildering system of health insurance in the US, Canadians receive on average far better care at less cost. Harper’s Conservatives, however, prefer a “free-market” solution to all problems, and although they don’t wish to alienate Canadian voters too dreadfully by attacking the Canada Health Act directly, they have taken strategies from US Republicans. A most effective Republican strategy to make a government program dysfunctional is to starve it for revenue. This strategy exists in all the Republican-governed US states, in their Congress, in Canadian provinces that have conservative-leaning governments (such as BC), and in our federal government itself. The ongoing tax cuts,

GUEST COMMENT

AL LEHMANN especially corporate tax cuts, that have characterized Canadian legislation under the Conservatives have effectively removed hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue from government programs over the past decade and a half. Corporate media trumpet, as if it were holy writ, the “news” of government mismanagement and of the “inefficiency” of public services. This public sector bashing and corporate self-flattery condi-

tion Canadian citizens simply to expect less from government, precisely what Harper plans to do. Recently Harper’s finance minister delivered an ultimatum about capping health spending. As always, the sotto voce muttering in the background from the Fraser Institute promotes “experimenting” with other health delivery systems, a euphemism for various privatization schemes. There is another view, however, one quite eloquently argued by a group called the Canadian Health Coalition (www.healthcoalition.ca). Their Nov. 2011 report soundly debunks the air of crisis frequently to be found in mainstream media coverage. Harvard economist Robert G. Evans states unequivocally that the argument that public health care is “fiscally unsustainable” is “a lie.” Population growth and inflation, not the aging population, cause most of the growth in health spending. Further, “medicare spending takes up roughly the same share of tax revenues as it did 20 years ago.” The highest rises in total health

care spending are in precisely the areas not covered by our singlepayer plan (e.g. prescription drugs, dental care, home care). If these were covered by a singlepayer system health care spending would be much more efficient. The editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine argues cogently that in contrast to our system, for-profit health care is expensive, inefficient and inequitable, precisely the problems that the Canada Health Act skillfully, if imperfectly, manages. CIBC Scholar-in-Residence André Picard states, “A universal health system is essential if you want a country that’s healthy and productive on many levels; it’s an economic driver and it’s a tool for social justice.” To Harper, “living within our means” means shrinking corporate taxes, creating artificial deficits, generating artificial panic, and, if we let him, gradually replacing Canada’s fair public health insurance system with an increasingly unequal private one.

WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM

The Mail Bag

SPRINKLING RESTRICTIONS The City of Terrace wishes to remind all residents that water sprinkling restrictions are in force year-round.

From Page 7

Water sprinkling is permitted on:

Workers the true lifeblood Workers are caught between the pincers of business/corporate greed and government social programs. If Shachi gets her wish and taxes are shifted to home owners, I can tell you that with less money in my budget from an increased tax

burden, I will spend less money in Terrace businesses, perhaps I will shop more online or out of town. If things get bad enough, maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just quit my job, declare bankruptcy and let the bank take my home instead of working so hard to support business

interests and the impoverished. Fourth, it is not â&#x20AC;&#x153;commerceâ&#x20AC;? that is the true life blood of a thriving community. First Nations functioned for thousands of years without requiring a currency, or charging taxes on anyone.

In almost all instances, European settlers chose to build their first encampments near First Nations settlements when they came to colonize, ergo it is people who provide the vital resource for commerce to happen; no people to exploit means

Letter writer advocates for cemetery access Dear Sir: Thank you Arlene Ridler for speaking up about cemetery access. I, too, tried to speak to Carmen Didier of leisure services regarding people with mobility issues. I was politely told that my mother should purchase a wheelchair if she is unable to walk the distance. I asked how fair she thinks it is for seniors on a pension to buy such an expensive item. No reply. I also asked her how people are expected to remove their ornamentation from their sites come fall. (Everything has to be removed from gravesites by November and you can only put them back in May.) I was told to bring a wheelbarrow. As you can tell, my concerns were not being heard. I feel that she is being extremely insulting to those of us who care for our loves onesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gravesites. When I tried to explain to her that some of the items are extremely heavy and that a wheelbarrow will not do, this is the reply I received. They will have to have a meeting to discuss the opening of the gates come November for the removal of such

no commerce. I have noticed in all the rhetoric of business being job creators, life blood of communities, etc... you never hear the notion of business simply taking less profit, a rollback if you will. No, that kind of thinking is only for employees and the poor. Janna Ferguson, Terrace, BC

Do you seriously think that anyone with the intent of vandalizing the cemetery cares if the gate is locked? I believe the shovel will fit quite nicely through the unlocked pedestrian gate. Oops. Now that will be locked, too. Susan Viveiros, Terrace, BC

PM urged to restore budgets to aboriginal organizations

ANNA KILLEN PHOTO

■ Digging dirt LLOYD JOHNSON of Uplands Nurseries works to landscape the south side of McConnell Ave. last week. The company was hired by the city, and the work is all part of finishing up a major road rebuild.

SOCIAL WORKERS gathered at the George Little Park band shell Monday to sign letters to Prime Minister Stephen Harper asking him not to cut the budgets of national aboriginal organizations. Those organizations are a key part of repairing the effects of residential schools, says Rob Hart, the president of the BC Association of Social Workers’ northwest branch and the organizer of the letter signings. “The Harper government has apologized for residential schools but they have not worked with aboriginal people

to address the tremendous personal and social damage created by them,” he said. Hart said it will take generations to deal with the effects of residential schools. “The Harper government is making this work far more difficult by cutting funding to the national aboriginal organizations that support local work,” he added. Hart said the cuts worsen an already large gap between health care, education and other spending on aboriginal children compared to spending on other Canadian children.

“There isn’t the equity. It’s not adequate for schools and it’s not adequate for health care,” said Hart of spending on aboriginal children. There are approximately 160 social

workers in the region working for at least 15 agencies of one type or another. One letter was sent to Harper under the letterhead of the social workers’ northwest branch

while social workers sent individual letters. The Monday letters signing was part of a national campaign and there were other events staged across the country.

Enbridge refuted Enbridge’s Kevin Brown said last week that the company has signed confidentiality agreements with First Nations preventing it, for now, from releasing names. But he said the company will release all the information during the next round of hearings to be conducted by the federal panel reviewing the

project. At some point, the [Northern Gateway Joint Review Panel] is going to want to know what Enbridge has done to build good relationships with First Nations, he said. When the time is right we’ll be happy (to release that information.)

New lease on life for Skeena Mall

LAUREN BENN PHOTO

WORKERS PREPARE to install a new exterior facade at the Skeena Mall which is undergoing an extensive interior and exterior set of renovations.

RENOVATIONS FOR three new tenants continue at the Skeena Mall. Sport Chek, Winners and Dollarama are awaiting their new locations as wholesale interior and exterior renovation of the mall, brought on by its purchase late last year by Vancouverbased Bosa Properties, continue. The majority of the work is estimated to be done by mid-summer. “As soon as possible,” said Chris Wolczyk of Capo Construction Ltd., the company which has been hired by Bosa to work on the exterior. Wolczyk said Sport Chek will be the first new store to open and wants to move in within the coming month. Sport Chek will be located in the area that once held Northern Drugs before becoming the headquarters for the city’s successful Hockeyville 2009 campaign. Winners and Dollarama are also both awaiting the interior of their lo-

cations to be finished, said Wolczyk. Exterior work includes a new building facade, new promotional signage on the back side of the mall facing Hwy16 and two 50-foot tall signs on the building’s north side, he said. A new awning will be added to the mall’s front and the roof raised in places. Bosa Properties purchased the Skeena Mall under a subsidiary called Loon Properties Inc. late last year from Lanch Holdings. Lanch had purchased the mall out of receivership in 1986, just as the local economy was showing signs of an upswing after a forestry-industry crash here. It became a bustling shopping centre to the city and the region but suffered when forestry giant Skeena Cellulose collapsed in the late 1990s leading to another northwest recession.

Jobs czar to match up skills with industries The same conclusion was reached by a committee set up last fall by BC Hydro to examine the economic development impacts from the construction of its Northwest Transmission Line. That committee broadened its scope to look at the range of real and potential northwest projects, up to and including LNG plants at Kitimat and the alreadystarted rebuild of Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat aluminum smelter. It quickly concluded there was a lack of northwest skills training facilities and a lack of a trained northwest workforce. “Local people are

Pat Bell available to fill many of the jobs, but a mismatch often exists between the skills of the potential workers and the needs of employers,” read one portion of a study put together by the commit-

Water pitch all dried up R E P L A C I N G BOTTLED water with fountains on city property — or just adding fountains — won’t happen after a majority of council slammed the idea just as quickly as it was raised. Councillor Stacey Tyers asked council May 28 to bring back the public water fountain, ban bottled water at city events and public facilities, and recognize access to free water as a human right. Other councillors were quick to dismiss the idea, with the general consensus being that bottled water is essential for health and that it’s not the city’s job to

control people’s choice to buy bottled water. “We make water,” said Tyers, noting the city already pays to treat high quality water that could be offered free to its citizens by means of water fountains. She added that fountains would reduce waste going to the local landfills, which would be a cost saving measure. Councillor Lynne Christiansen disagreed with removing bottled water as a choice in vending machines. Councillor Marylin Davies said she remembers when the public didn’t like fountains for sanitary reasons.

tee. The committee conservatively estimates that, based on projections, large industrial projects will create 4,000 direct and indirect jobs from now until 2021. Optimistically, the number could grow to 5,700 or as high as 12,000, the committee’s study continued. The official hired will report to the committee which is already sketching out a work plan. Already in the works is a public relations campaign aimed at attracting back home those northwest residents who left to find work elsewhere when

the woods industry collapsed. The target list of communities for this initiative includes Fort McMurray. Also being planned is a fall conference to bring together companies and training facilities. Bell said the emphasis will be on increasing skill levels to meet not only construction but operating jobs afterward. “Something really, really, really good can come out of this or we can just be OK,” said Bell. “We don’t want to miss the opportunity for something quite unique.”

Howe Creek Trail ďŹ xed up VISITORS TO the Howe Creek Trail are walking a little more comfortably, thanks to a joint effort two weekends ago between the Rotary Club of Terrace and the Rotary Club of Terrace-Skeena Valley to upgrade the wettest section of the trail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was muddy, with very wet low lying areas, lots of undergrowth,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Oatway, president of Rotary Terrace-Skeena Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went back to get pictures the next day, and some of the regular walkers said they were very impressed.â&#x20AC;? About 40 volunteers spent the day cleaning up the brush, filling in holes with â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of gravelâ&#x20AC;? and constructing walls and culverts, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The youngest [volunteer] was ten and the oldest was in their 70s,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lot of fun. We worked from 10 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3, only stopping to eat pizza.â&#x20AC;? A lot of the volunteers and help came from Deep Creek Hatchery and Eby Street Hatchery, she said. Materials like rebar, gravel, geotextile and lumber were donated by Nechako Northwest, Rona, and the Ministry of Forests. Oatway said the clubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next big project will be decided when their new executives sit in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to do something big for, well, big for us, for the city,â&#x20AC;? she said. Some of the ideas bouncing around include tree and plant identification along some of the trails, or a splash park downtown, she said.

A MAN who committed three thefts to get money for a drug habit on Christmas Day can kick his addiction with some hard work. Those are some of the words from Judge David St. Pierre in sentencing Edward Joseph Flett to a suspended sentence with one year probation after he pleaded guilty to one charge of being unlawfully in a dwelling house. On December 25, 2011, Flett had arranged to buy crack cocaine and needed

money, said prosecutor Barry Zacharias in reviewing the circumstances of the case. He had keys to suites in the Keystone apartment building that had been stolen about six months earlier and, figuring the tenants would be away, he made three trips to three apartments he knew had been rented furnished and stole the TVs from them, court heard. He called an unidentified person who paid $300 for the TVs that he used to buy drugs, court heard.

The managers of the building suspected him of other crimes and, when arrested, he admitted to taking the televisions, court heard. In March 2012, Flett had completed a healing centre program and taking that into account, Crown asks for a suspended sentence and 12 months probation with conditions that included writing a letter of apology and 30 hours of community work service, said Zacharias. Defence lawyer Timothy Klaassen said his client

was going through a difficult time in December. Flett had obtained the keys to the apartments when they had been unoccupied and he was there doing cleaning, court heard. There was an extra key he took when he left after completing his work, said Klaassen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Due to his addiction, he let himself in and took the TVs,â&#x20AC;? said Klaassen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has gone through treatment and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made an amazing difference in his life, according to himself

and his mother.â&#x20AC;? He is looking at getting into residential treatment, court heard. Flett was completely cooperative with police, provided a detailed statement, has been remorseful and apologized, said Klaassen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to apologize. It was wrong, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never happen again,â&#x20AC;? said Flett when asked by St. Pierre if he wanted to say anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our mom tells us to give the benefit of the doubt and if you do enough of these

things, people will not give you the benefit of the doubt,â&#x20AC;? said St. Pierre. An addiction can be difficult to break and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy but can be done, he told Flett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people show up in court and have no support. Consider yourself lucky,â&#x20AC;? said St. Pierre, referring to Flettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother being in the courtroom. Two charges of being unlawfully in dwelling house and one charge of theft $5,000 or under were stayed by the court.

Moving beyond baby talk By Anna Killen NEW PARENTS Toni Lazarre and Alex Erickson’s one-month-old boy, Phoenix, is off to a sound start, thanks to a basket of speech and hearing developmentfocused goods his parent’s won in the Child Development Centre (CDC) sponsored draw at Mills Memorial Hospital on June 5. In recognition of speech and hearing awareness month, held in May, all families with babies born at the hospital last month were given the chance to enter to win the basket filled with books, hand puppets, sound toys, and a handmade quilt. The CDC also printed calendars and had extra reading material on hand at the centre in order to communicate the importance of early education in speech and hearing development and promote early intervention if slow development is noticed. Whether or not a child knows how to communicate by the time they enter kindergarten can make all of the difference, said Terrace CDC speech therapist Sheila Pretto. Starting school with strong language skills is “their best chance to reach their potential,” she said. This is why the centre advocates paying attention to a child’s speech development early on — and seeking support from places like the CDC if anything seems off. “Typically, you expect a child to know 50 words by the time they are 18-24 months,” she said. By the time they are four and a half, that number should be around 2000. If a child doesn’t know at least 50 words by the time they are two, or if their speech isn’t easily understandable by others by the time they are three, parents should seek outside advice.

ALEX ERICKSON and Toni Lazelle (with their month-old son, Phoenix) hold the basket of goods they won in the CDC’s draw to recognize May’s speech and hearing month. The quilt in the basket was made by the centre’s administrative assistant Monique Malenfant who organized the draw. One in ten Canadians has a speech, language or hearing problem. In children, the most common problems are stuttering, language difficulties, voice issues like clarity, voice, volume and pitch, and articulation disorders — for example, saying “wabbit” instead of “rabbit”. It is estimated that 4 per cent of preschoolers have a significant language or speech problem — and these are often misdiagnosed as learning disabilities or behavioural problems, and can be harder to treat the older the child gets.

Since it’s best to catch these problems early, Pretto encourages parents to being their children to the centre even if the problem seems minimal. “I’d rather say to a parent there are no concerns than say nothing to them at all,” she said. Parents are able to walk into the Terrace CDC and get a referral for an appointment right away — a big difference from clinics down south where there can be long waitlists for treatment, said Pretto. “Treatment can be consultive or one to one,” said Pretto. “Parent training is the fo-

cus.” Before a child enters preschool there is only a small amount of time in the waking hours to ensure a child is on track, she said. Some activities the CDC — which provides early childhood support in a number of areas, not only speech and language — recommends doing with your child to help their language development are looking at books together and telling stories, talking to your child about what you’re doing (even if it is a routine task), and explaining the sound your child is hearing.

magazine I like to read, The Economist, tossed out an interesting phrase recently, “extractive elites.” Like the events pitting the blue-skinned locals vs. the human-led corporation in Avatar, they are found in economic institutions that “are structured to extract resources from the many by the few.” Extractive elites don’t like social change, they like the way things are. They also fear “creative destruction,” because that upsets their apple cart, too. Creative destruction, like “disruptive technology” means something that was indispensable, like the Gestetner machine (remember that lovely aromatic purple ink?) or the buggy whip, become unpopular. With demand for the products plummeting, sales slow or stop, then the manufacturing stops. We don’t type on carbon paper then feed it into a cumbersome machine with ink that stains all clothes, we tap into a computer and send to print, or photocopy from a plain-paper original. Developments in technology, hard to imagine until they were everywhere, have that effect on old technologies. Buggy whip manufacturers had a good long run. Writer Eric Morris tells us that in the 1800s, cities depended on thousands of horses for their daily functioning. London in 1900 had 11,000 cabs, all horse-powered. There were also several thousand buses, each of which required 12 horses per day, a total of more than 50,000 horses. In addition, there were countless carts, drays, and wains, all working constantly. In New York in 1900, the population of 100,000 horses produced 2.5 million pounds of horse manure per day, which all had to be swept up and disposed of. Per day. An alarming report of 1890 concluded that by 1930, the horse droppings

Feeling Blue would rise to Manhattan’s third-storey windows. But how could we cure ourselves of this addiction to horse power? Horses were used for personal transportation, freight haulage, and even mechanical power. Without horses, the cities would come to a halt, starve. The railroad seemed promising, but goods shipped by rail needed to be collected or distributed by horses at both ends. More rail shipping, more horses needed. The disruptive technology that saved us from manure piled three storeys high is the one that is causing us a lot of problems right now. The first production Model T left the factory in Detroit, Michigan on September 27, 1908. On May 26, 1927, Henry Ford watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off the assembly line. Now we ask, what are we going to do about all that petrol? Michael Specter in the May 14 issue

of the New Yorker tells us about American engineer Hewitt Crane. During the 1974 Mideast oil crisis, Crane realized that standard measurements for sources of energy—barrels of oil, tons of coal, gallons of gas, British thermal units— were nearly impossible to compare. Crane devised a new measure of energy consumption: a three-dimensional unit he called a cubic mile of oil. One cubic mile of oil would fill a pool that is a mile long, a mile wide, and a mile deep. Today, it takes three cubic miles’ worth of fossil fuels to power the world for a year. That’s a trillion gallons of gas now, with demand growing. To replace just ONE of those cubic miles with a source of energy that will not add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere — nuclear power, for instance — would require the construction of a new atomic plant every week for 50 years. That’s 52 new plants a year, every year, til 2062. Don’t like nuclear? Any one of these options would work: * 4 Three Gorges Dams each year for 50 years, or * 32,850 wind turbines each year for 50 years, or * 91,250,000 rooftop solar photovoltaic panels each year for 50 years. I like wind turbines and the idea of wind farms. They will still need to be manufactured and delivered before installation, though. Materials used to make turbines include Permanent Magnetic materials, pre-stressed concrete, steel, aluminum, copper, glassreinforced plastic, wood epoxy, and Carbon-filament reinforced plastic. Dang, there’s that nasty petroleumbased plastic again. And all those minerals that need, well, mining. Can we make them out of beetle-killed pine lashed together with hemp? I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to feel blue.

J Joan Ellen Margaret M Ceh passed away pa at Terraceview Lodg Lodge on May 30, 2012 following a three month struggle with complications of heart and stroke. The elder daughter of Eleanor and Ed Toews, Chilliwack was born on October 11, 1939. She is predeceased by her parents, and younger sister, Sharon. After graduating from Chilliwack Senior High School, Joan worked in banking and moved to Terrace with her husband, Howard Boake and sons, Bill and Jim. Shortly after, son. Ken and daughter. Lee, completed their family. After several years in the Toronto Dominion Bank, Joan found her true passion working with challenged young people at Parkside School. Seeing these young people acquiring life skills gave her much joy and satisfaction. Joan is survived by her husband, John Ceh, 4 children. Bill, Jim, Ken, and Lee, step children, Patsy, John, and Carol, 11 grandchildren and many great grandchildren. The family wish to thank sincerely Dr. M Kenyon, Dr. B Phillips and Dr. E Wong, and staffs of Mills Memorial Hospital and Terraceview Lodge for their kindness and caring this past three months.

Kitimat-Stikine Copperside Estates Street Lighting Service Area Establishment Bylaw No. 612, 2012

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: â&#x17E;Ľ $0.27/$1,000 of net taxable value of land and improvements on a requisition of $5,000. â&#x17E;Ľ $0.34/$1,000 on a requisition of $6,250.

Terrace youth nets B.C. team spot IN HIS book Outliers: The Story of Success, Malcolm Gladwell puts forward the theory that in order to become a world-class expert at something, you need to log 10,000 hours. If this theory is true, 13-year-old basketball player Marek Ormerod if off to one heck of start. Since he started training 3 years ago, Marek has amassed over 2700 hours training to compete with the best young players in North America — 2000 hours working on skills development and another 700 in the gym, weight training. He attended the Drive basketball club, an elite private development program, in Richmond last summer, playing 45 games against some of the top-seeded kids in the continent and has made good use of the gym at Parkside, the school his mother is principal of. “He’s put in a lot of time at the gym,” said his father, Hugh Ormerod. “And not just with Terry,” added his mother, Louise. “He’ll come down here in the evening on his own to dribble the ball around and practice.” “Since 10 years old he’s been dedicated, disciplined, and had a strong work ethic,” said his coach, Terry Monture, who has been training Marek from the start. And two weekends ago, all of that hard work started to pay off when Marek was offered a spot on the provincial U14 basketball team, one of only two players from northern B.C. that made the cut. “We’re at a distinct disadvantage being so far north,” said Hugh. “The kids down south maybe travel for an hour, we’ve got to drive 15-16 hours to get to Vancouver.”

Most of the time, said Monture, the players go right from the car to the court. But the extra effort it takes for a player from northern B.C. to succeed makes success all the more sweeter. “I’ve been coaching a long time,” said Monture. “And I was pretty proud this weekend.” Marek made the trip down to Langley to try out against 47 other kids, a group that had been preselected in May. Over the course of the weekend, the coaches and organizers whittled the group down to the 24 players who will train together and represent B.C. at tournaments all over the United States. “They’re really nice,” said Marek, of his teammates. “Really good ball players.” Marek, a straight-A student at Skeena Secondary School, will travel every weekend to the Lower Mainland until school lets out. Then he’ll bunk with a family in Langley for the entire summer, except for two weeks in July when he returns north to train with his team for the BC Summer Games. All of this means a major commitment from Marek and his family, but they aren’t fazed. “We’ll support him wherever we can, however we have to,” said his dad, Hugh, conceding that this level of competition and travel isn’t cheap. But his family has their eye on the prize—and it isn’t just about Marek being the best ball player. “The number one goal is academics,” said Hugh. Marek agrees. For him, the ultimate goal isn’t to become a superstar NBA player, it’s to use basketball to gain a scholarship to a top notch school so he can study to become a neurologist. “My grandfather was a surgeon, so I thought I’d take it to the next level and become a brain surgeon,” he said.

■ Relay runners race THE 11TH annual Skeena River Relay took place on the first weekend of June 2012 when runners from across the northwest gathered to race a combined distance of 140 kilometres, running various distances from the relay’s starting point in Prince Rupert to the finish line in Terrace. There were 32 teams that participated, 320 runners in total, and more than 75 volunteers who showed up to make the relay a success. The Terrace team that took a first place standing in the race was the Skeena Expresso, with a time of 11:12:07 hours.

■ Bullied JUSTIN DAVIS from Williams Lake couldn’t hold for the 8 second mark on the full tilt bull called Spook during the 65th Annual Kispiox Rodeo last weekend. For the bull riding category, the bull riding buckle was awarded to Mike Gill who scored a 79 on Terraforce and Ryan Jasper came in second on Sharpie with a 76 and Charlie Atrill tied for points with a 76 and took third. The Rodeo was another great success according to participants, spectators and organizers.

n last week’s edition of this paper, Graham Genge of the Kermodei Tourism Association worries that the small regulatory changes to steelhead fishing flowing from the Quality Waters Strategy (QWS) process will adversely affect tourism. Mr. Genge’s concern is driven by the concerns like those of Claudia Lee, of the Copper River Motel, who bemoans the fact that she has had a French guest cancel because he can no longer fish some sections of world renowned steelhead rivers on weekends. Genge feels that added costs and barriers are “detrimental to guided and recreational fishing.” I’m sorry that Ms. Lee has had some long-term guests cancel, but I think she, and Mr. Genge, should be more concerned with the strength of the Canadian dollar, the worsening global depression, the destruction of tourism values by clear cut logging reminiscent of the forest practices of the first half of the last century, and the proposed construction of pipelines through three of our world-class steelhead rivers. Tourism relies on viewscapes. Steelhead tourism relies on wilderness values. Both of those assets will be ruined if our river valleys and coast are given over to the oil industry, as envisaged by our current provincial and federal governments. Every change to the fishing regulations causes a disproportionate reaction from

a number of business reps, including Mr. Genge’s predecessor, were taken on board. I’ve gone to a lot of meetings to do with fish and fishing in the last 25 years. The number of the sessions in which I’ve participated is miniscule compared to the number my good friend and well known conservationist, Jim Culp, has attended. When the QWS sessions were done, I told Jim that they were the most arduous and stressful meetings I’d had the misfortune to attend. He told me that he felt so too. This had nothing to do with the attendees, with whom we continue to get along with, but more with the structure of the process. There were too few tools in the tool box at the start of the process and as it unfolded some of those were removed without adequate explanation. Taking on new members half the way through, as noted above, didn’t change the direction of the final recommendations and added another level of complexity to the sessions. Like most consensus driven processes, the QWS ultimately came up with recommendations which pleased none of the participants, including me. My concern was that the recommendations, though a tentative step in the right direction, weren’t restrictive enough, undervalued the resource, and failed to seize a golden opportunity to promote tourism and enhance conservation. I’ll take this up next week.
