Residential gas costs drop NORTHWEST residents received a bit of good news for their pockets books as of July 1. An application by Pacific Northern Gas (PNG) to lower the residential rate for natural gas was accepted by the BC Utilities Commission. Pacific Northern Gas (PNG) cut the rate it charges for natural gas itself by 50 cents a gigajoule – from $4.06 a gigajoule to $3.56 – or 12

per cent. That drops the overall rate to $15.027 a gigajoule or three per cent, once the delivery cost is factored in, and would be the second rate reduction this year. The first was as of Jan. 1 and both reductions reflect the continuing drop in the price of natural gas caused by an increase in supply. PNG is a delivery utility and passes through what it pays for

natural gas to its customers. It cannot add to the price of the gas. There is no change to the delivery cost of natural gas in the area. PNG has for some time been hedging the price of the natural gas it buys – essentially fixing a future price now to avoid the possibility of having to pay more if it is bought on the open market at that future date. But the utility stopped doing

that a year ago and all of its hedge agreements will be finished this fall, says PNG official Janet Kennedy. It means PNG could apply to lower the rate it charges for natural gas itself even more as those hedge agreements end and as current prices for natural gas fall. “The current wellhead price for gas in northeast BC is approximately $1.80/GJ and reflects sup-

ply and demand fundamentals that currently exist in the marketplace,” said Kennedy. “PNG is not able to forecast future gas costs (which are passed on to our customers with no mark-up), but there continues to be substantial media coverage regarding the significant (and growing) supply situation of natural gas in Northeast BC and across the continent,” she said.

Intersection to be made safer A HIGH number of car crashes over the years has the city looking at how to make one of its intersections safer. The intersection of Keith Ave. and Kenney St. on the southside, which has stop signs for Keith Ave. traffic but none on Kenney, is third from the top for accidents and will see improvements to try and reduce these numbers. “It’s important to reduce the number of accidents at any intersection if the means are affordable and doable,” said the city’s director of public works Herb Dusdal. “It is one of the highest ranked intersection for accidents and as such it warrants whatever improvements we can afford to make it safer.” The city will add more rumble strips and signs telling drivers there are stop signs ahead on Keith Ave. as crash numbers weren’t high enough compared to traffic volume to warrant a four-way stop intersection. “The intersection did not meet the requirements for a four way stop,” said Dusdal. The intersection, from 2005 – 2011, has seen 18 collisions, according to statistics provided to the city by ICBC. But following an April 23 collision at the intersection which required that a woman be extracted form her vehicle using the jaws of life, the city

looked at how to bring that number down. “We involve ICBC if and whenever that’s appropriate and we look at all traffic factors,” said Dusdal. Using numbers provided by ICBC, the city determined that of 18 reported collisions there, 13 were t-bone type crashes. Out of those 13, six of them involved a vehicle traveling eastbound on Keith colliding with a car traveling northbound on Kenney St. “It was recommended we look at the visibility of the stop signs and other options,” said Dusdal. The signs were found to be well placed and visible but there are visual distractions in the area that could be contributing to collisions. The remedy applied, then, is to remind drivers to stop by adding rumble strips and signs warning drivers of stop signs ahead. The city will continue to monitor crash numbers there. Kenney St. at Hwy16 and Kalum St. and Hwy16 both top the Kenney St. and Keith Ave. intersection for traffic and crash numbers. “There are already traffic lights,” said Dusdal, adding that’s why the city has focused on improving the third highest location instead of the top two.

CHAD BUHR walks across his property in Old Remo June 26. He and his family self-evacuated their home June 23 after water from the Skeena River spilled over its banks and covered much an area in the Robin Road area near the Alwyn Creek bridge.

River rises and drops RISING WATERS last week led the Regional District of KitimatStikine to call residents of various local areas to evacuate before Skeena water levels dropped off again. The evacuation order was called 3 p.m. June 25 for residents of the Robin Road area near Alwyn Creek and an alert was sounded for Dutch Valley, Old Kitselas Road, parts of Old Remo, Usk North, and New Remo below the Whitebottom turnoff that same day, said regional district emergency co-ordinator Wes Patterson. By last Friday, a local state of emergency was left in place and while many evacuation alerts were lifted by June 26 some remained for New Remo and Dutch Valley residents — where the threat of flooding depends on the Kitsumkalum and Zmyacord Rivers as opposed to the Skeena. Last week, the Skeena reached a high of 11.48 meters on the morning of June 25 and by June 29 had dropped to 7.5 metres. Despite this, a local state of emergency

for the RDKS area remained in place because forecasts showed rain. “There’s still a high streamflow advisory for the Skeena and its tributaries,” said Patterson last Friday. “Right now, the intent is to leave those in place with the rain that’s still in the forecast.” Emergency workers placed rock along the banks of the Kitsumkalum River to prevent water from reaching residents of Dutch Valley. “We’re spending $250,000 of the province’s money armouring the bank of the river currently with rock,” said Patterson. “The high part of the bank was eroded away and so it takes a lower amount of water to impact the residents.” Patterson added that by keeping a local state of emergency in place until July 2 it gives local governments certain powers to deal with emergencies like entering private property. In 2007 high levels for the Skeena were 12.821 on June 5, 13.145 on June 6, 13.319 on June 7 and 12.469 on June 8.

Tiny Town safely moved A COLLECTION of tiny buildings formerly located in the Skeena Mall has found a permanent home on Terrace’s old Co-op property. Tiny Town, which is a miniature rendition of the town Youghal in Ireland was first built by Terrace resident Jim Allen and kept at his home on Agar Ave. until it was moved to the Skeena Mall just over two years ago. Now, with the sale of the Skeena Mall, the colourful miniature buildings have found a new home in the lot of the old garden centre of Terrace’s former Co-op property. “Due to the construction and a full mall ... it just couldn’t stay here,” said mall manager Judi Hannon. The buildings will be placed in the area close to the George Little House, arranged

in a fashion that lets the buildings be viewed from many directions. “Some of them will face the train,” said Yvonne Moen, who alongside numerous volunteers lent a hand

to the move last week. Moen said she thinks Tiny Town will make a great addition to the Co-op property area as an eye-pleasing site for tourists and locals alike.

“Protect your family – get tested.”

She added there are plans to landscape the area around where the buildings will be placed, within the fenced por-

tion of the south-facing lot on the Greig Ave. Co-op property. The move was completed June 29, 2012.

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

Lunch time THE ONGOING and relentless campaign against Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline plan skidded around a slippery corner in Terrace June 19 with a protest of a companysponsored luncheon at Northwest Community College. Up until now, the extraordinarily well-organized opposition to the project has been focussed on the project itself. But this protest had every appearance of straying over the line to become personal. It also breached principles held dearly in Canada. Although the luncheon had been billed as a women-only event to discuss the future of the community, there was more at stake. The gathering, with female Enbridge executives present, was an attempt to build support for Northern Gateway. The group outside — all-female as well – while not physically blocking access to the event, made it known the event should not be taking place and those inside should not be there. Some of those invited, seeing the protesters, turned around and left. And that’s where things become a problem. For as much as those who oppose Northern Gateway are committed to their cause, that commitment does not extend to limiting free association and free speech for others. Imagine the outcry if the situation had been reversed. It’s also worth considering the location for all of this — the college. Places of higher learning are places where vigorous debate is encouraged and not discouraged. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

he day three boxes of Scottie tissues on sale cost me $5.60 was the day I reverted to cotton handkerchiefs. Only a few years back you could buy tissues on sale at 59 cents a box. And the tissues were larger than today’s. Paying $1.86 for one box of 92 3-ply tissues -- two cents for a single tissue with less life span than a contrail-drove me to retrieve a collection of my husband’s cotton hankies from his bottom dresser drawer. When I was growing up my family dried our sniffles in cotton hankies . All became softer with repeated launderings on a washboard, pinned on an outdoor clothesline to dry in the prairie breeze, then carefully ironed and folded. Ironing was my Saturday chore, performed with a sad iron heated on the woodburning range, until Mom updated to a gas-fueled iron. Both irons produced uncomfortable heat on the hand, but far more distressing was the cup-sized gasoline tank riding under my wrist. Either my older brother or Mom refueled the gas tank and pumped up the pressure. Even then I was wary of me-

When the fresh laundry was perfectly dampened by sprinkling it with water, I enjoyed ironing, even the finicky places like men’s shirt cuffs, girls’ puff sleeves, along zippers that could scratch the iron, or circling buttons so as not to damage the threads holding them on.

convenient replacement for the unsightly “cold cream towel” that hung in many 1920s bathrooms. But it wasn’t until 1930, when Kimberly-Clark’s head researcher tried tissues to cope with his allergy sneezes that Kleenex became popular as a hanky following advertising in women’s magazines like McCalls touted by photos of glamorous movie stars. Fabric hankies have the advantages of not tearing into shreds while damp; reducing garbage; lasting a year or more even with repeated use thus lightening your weekly shopping cart; and free up oodles of shelf storage space. Because discard-after-use tissues are more hygienic, I’ll continue to keep a box of tissues in every room and stock up when the price is lowest.

Two long folds pressed flat, then folded twice end to end like a tarp, and the warm hanky was ready to stack in someone’s dresser drawer. Thinking back on it, ironing hankies probably helped me learn to take pride in doing even little jobs well. Dad’s hankies were mansized squares, blue or red with white polka dots. They served above and beyond the usual task. If he was repairing a piece of machinery, often he’d polish a metal part clean with his “snot-rag” after he had first wiped the main oil or grease on the pantleg of his GWG overalls. Mom tucked white hankies, some with embroidered embellishments, in her apron pocket or up her sweater cuff. We kids carried smaller versions. The one drawback to cotton hankies was how they rubbed our runny noses raw if we had a cold. The soggier the hanky, the more it scraped like sandpaper.

IN MAY, federal cabinet minister Lynn Yelich announces a federal grant to boost heavy equipment training at Northwest Community College.

Gov’t needs to sharpen training Dear Sir: I was taken aback by the spin taken by the province in hiring a so-called jobs czar to identify local workers for projects in the northwest. How much better if this money had gone to Northwest Community College for actual training and education and the province had

looked at time tested models to achieve these goals. In effect, all the province is doing is assuming another private cost otherwise borne by the corporate sector – that of recruitment. As a person who spent 15 years in the northwest, mostly working in construction, the lack of thought makes me

shake my head. How much better it would have been to begin with if the province had directed BC Hydro to enter into a project agreement on the transmission line project with construction unions. This would include set and verifiable levels of local, minority, gender equal and

aboriginal hiring with established apprenticeship requirements. After all of the speculating of raising people on assistance by shipping them north, the province could also have looked to another private sector programme already shown to work. Under project agreements, these goals have been met as

shown on the Island Highway and in dam construction. Under a private sector agreement on the original GM Place construction, the Bladerunners programme specifically addressed the training of disadvantaged youth.

Dear Sir: We are poised to welcome the world in a period of unparalleled growth in this region. We do not, however, have all our ducks in a row. Apart from the fact that the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce’s website is “not quite ready”, we have a very valuable resource that is all but abandoned. When is somebody going to do something about the hot springs? It still appears on the web as some fabulous resort that is bound to disappoint all who have wind of it. My personal opinion is seizure and share in the cost of development by increasing property tax and allowing local people to visit at reduced cost. Vaughan Doe, Terrace, BC

Gas-ﬁred power plant could boost city fortunes

ver the years Terrace council has had a couple of notable successes in the realm of economic development by setting itself a not always obvious goal and relentlessly pursuing it. The classic example for me was its drive in the last millennium to market the city as a service centre for the mining industry. At the time I was The Terrace Standard reporter covering city hall and I have to admit I thought the idea was, shall we say, optimistic. Back then Smithers was the acknowledged service centre for Northwest miners, which made sense given its relative proximity to actual mines. Terrace wasn’t remotely close to the action. Nevertheless, council mandated then-councillor Danny Sheridan and economic development officer Peter Monteith to turn the idea into a reality. The duo took to their task with gusto, attending all sorts of mining conferences, banging on doors and, no doubt, making something of a nuisance of themselves.

And it actually worked. A couple of service companies located here and, even more astonishing, Terrace was named mining community of the year. The results may not have been earth-shattering, but it proved what could be done if an aggressive approach was taken rather than sitting back and waiting to be “discovered”. Fast forward some years and a new ec-dev officer, Ken Veldman, was given a new mandate – get us some big box stores. And as countless shoppers know, that one didn’t turn out too badly either. I suggest recent developments present Terrace with a new goal. Liquefied natural gas is the big story these days with KM LNG, the BC LNG Co-op and Shell all proposing to build plants in Kitimat. There’s certainly no shortage of natural gas to feed these operations. Tests of a recent Apache Canada discovery – it is the majority player in the KM LNG project – suggest the play holds a staggering 48 trillion cubic feet of marketable gas – that’s enough

GUEST COMMENT

MALCOLM BAXTER gas to match Canada’s entire current output for nearly a decade. But there is a shortage of power needed to run the Kitimat plants. As reported in this paper May 30, BC Hydro says it can handle the power needs of the KM LNG and the much smaller BC LNG Co-op plants. But it needs new sources of power to fuel the Shell project – it is bigger than the other two put together. While BC Hydro pays lip ser-

vice to “renewable” energy such as wind and run-of-river, it recognizes the reality that a natural gas fired power plant may be needed to ensure a constant supply of electricity. Granted, it touts the supply benefits of a Site C hydro-electric project on the Peace River, but it admits that would not come online for a decade – I suspect longer. And Shell wants to be shipping LNG by 2019. So what the heck does this have to do with Terrace? Enter the airport lands industrial estate. Shell bought the old Methanex methanol plant site for its proposed LNG facility. While that site is big enough for the proposed liquefaction plant, it appears they will have to purchase more land to house a power plant to run it. Why can that gas-fired plant not be located on the industrial estate? I am certain the City of Terrace would be motivated to sell a chunk of the estate and could therefore undercut whatever Rio Tinto Alcan, the primary landowner in Kitimat, would seek.

I suspect the geo-technical findings on an industrial estate site would be less daunting than those in Kitimat. And Terrace’s tax regime is more industry-friendly than Kitimat’s. BC Hydro has already said it will have to put in a new powerline between the Terrace and Kitimat sub-stations to meet the needs of LNG. Therefore there would be an outlet for power produced by an industrial estate power plant. The benefits for Terrace are obvious: it would get an anchor for its industrial estate and a sorely needed increase in non-residential tax revenue. I am sure I could think of a dozen reasons why this idea is lunatic. But then I thought the mining drive was equally nuts. So, city council, why not give it a look? After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained. With this column, Malcolm Baxter joins The Terrace Standard as a contributor.

From Page A7

So much more training could be done in region A similar project agreement is already in place for the Alcan modernization. The same could easily have been required for the LNG plant – they want the gas, they follow the plan. What the jobs czar cannot do and a project agreement would do is provide written goals and requirements in the first instance and both security and mobility in the longer term for the workers themselves. It also would guarantee that there will be a core workforce that is competent, efficient and from the local area and then British Columbia. Mind you, this provincial government has never paid much mind to the needs of BC workers or taxpayers in their planning. One need look only to major projects on the lower mainland. Although touted as on budget, the BC Place roof and Port Mann Bridge are many times more than the original estimates. It is easy to be on budget when that budget is inflated dramatically. You can also see how jobs were filled – many times the vehicle lots for both Port Mann and Golden Ears had many many more cars and trucks with out-of-province licences that from B.C. Wages, benefits and conditions were suppressed

on the convention centre, and Port Mann thanks to a sweetheart deal with a group called the Christian Labour Association that masquerades as a union. Already, changes in the financing of the transmission line have shifted cost to the BC Hydro ratepayer from the corporate sector. Remember how the mining companies were once to be contributors. Now they sit back and await power to be delivered at rates already below those charged residential customers. On training, one wonders how the jobs czar will be of any use. Tradespeople take years to train, not weeks or months. The apprenticeship system in B.C. has already been undermined through changes introduced early in the Campbell years. Now a joint training facility for linesman, the only one in B.C., is closing thanks to yet another provincial direction. Waste and lack of consideration for the security and mobility of workers is the result of foolish moves taken simply because the Liberals have a visceral hatred for democratic workers’ organizations. They play politics, corporations profit and both workers and ratepayers pay the bills. Paul Johnston, Roberts Creek, BC

Man sent to jail for sexual assault A TERRACE man will spend more than three years in jail for sexually assaulting a minor three years ago. Nathan McNamara was sentenced to three years and 94 days for one charge of sexual assault against a teenage girl in Prince George Supreme Court June 22. McNamara was also given a three month sentence on one charge of unlawful confinement or imprisonment and three months on one charge of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm -- both to run concurrently to the longer sentence. He must also provide a DNA sample to police and is prohibited from owning or possessing firearms for 10 years. One charge of sexual interference of a person under 16 and one charge of assault with a weapon were stayed by the court. The sentence stems from an incident that took place during a May 2009 camping trip at Chubb Lake, about 100 kilometres south of Prince George. McNamara and the girl were were in two different groups which then joined to share a campfire. McNamara, then 24, was accused of raping the teenage girl, then 14. In testimony, the girl said McNamara forced himself upon her against her will, warning her to keep quiet afterward. In a statement he gave to police, McNamara admitted that he had sex with the girl and that it was consensual. He said he thought she was 17 because other people there were at least that old.

NDP MPs rally against Enbridge pipeline plan ENBRIDGEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PLAN to build the Northern Gateway pipeline has become a national issue, says one of several NDP MPs touring the area this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to come see for myself,â&#x20AC;? said federal NDP deputy leader and environment critic Megan Leslie at a forum held in Terrace last night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not just a northern B.C. issue.

Around 100 people attended the forum on the environmental implications of the Northern Gateway pipeline held at the Terrace Best Western.

SKEENA - Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen makes a point during an anti-Northern Gateway Pipeline meeting June 26 in Terrace. mental hearings into the project that were underway in Kitimat. On Wednesday, they took a boat tour of the Douglas Channel to see the route oil-bearing tankers would take on their way to the open sea. The meeting started with presentations from ForestEthics Advocacy Group, representatives from Prince Rupert city council, and presentations from Douglas Channel Watch, a Kitimat-based environmental advocacy group concerned with the effects of tankers and pipelines on the coast. Prince Rupert city

councillor Joy Thorkelson, who is also the United Fisherman and Allied Workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union representative for northern B.C., expressed the need for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;political fightâ&#x20AC;? to stop the pipeline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been involved in a few of these [over the years],â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken politics, not a reasoned argument.â&#x20AC;? Her union is advocating a cross-Canada wide protest. Some audience members shared her sentiment, asking questions that centred around how to organize and coordinate a streamlined

movement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many efforts going on all over the place, they need to be coordinated,â&#x20AC;? said one audience member during the Q&A period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to develop a plan.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that the coordination is a really good idea and the conversation between groups needs to be done, but I really think that this is a fight of the people of the north, and the fight of British Columbia,â&#x20AC;? said another. About 50 people stayed beyond the scheduled time of the meeting to discuss what to do next.

Vice principals hired THE COAST MOUNTAINS School District has finished its administrative appointments for the next school year by filling vacant vice principal positions. Julia Nieckarz is to become vice principal at Uplands Elementary, replacing Cathy Kennedy who is to be one of two vice principals at Skeena Middle School. Nieckarz was at both Thornhill Primary and Thornhill Elementary as an integration support and differentiated instruction teacher. Steve Wallace is moving from a teaching job at Thornhill Junior Secondary School to become vice principal at Cassie Hall Elementary School. He replaces Sheila Thorhaug who is now the principal at Cassie Hall. Alison Campbell, currently the principal of Thornhill Primary School has been appointed vice

principal of New Hazelton Elementary School. Replacing her there is Darlene Hounsell-Bragg who had been principal at Cassie Hall. The district earlier made other appointments. New to the district is having two vice principals at both the Skeena Middle School and Caledonia Senior Secondary School. That reflects the growth in each school this fall caused by several changes in the way secondary grades are to be taught. Thornhill Junior Secondary School is closing because of low student enrollment and its students are being shifted to Caledonia and Skeena. As well, Grade 7 instruction is being taken out of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elementary schools and moved to Skeena which will become a Grade 7-9 school. Skeenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grade 10 classes are being moved to join Grade 11 and 12 at Caledonia.

Power line

Valard gears up for a project that’s 344 kilometres in length

HE LARGEST construction project ever seen in Terrace is taking shape on a cleared section of land just a few kilometres up from the junction of Hwy16 and the West Kalum Forest Service Road. There, Valard Construction has started to assemble the pylons, insulators and other material needed for the $561 million Northwest Transmission Line which will reach from BC Hydro’s Skeena Substation south of Terrace to Bob Quinn on Hwy37 North, a distance of 344 kilometres. A camp at the location that’s large enough for 75 people is slowly filling up as Valard employees arrive. “We like to hire locally where we can,” says Valard BC vice president Graham McTavish during a recent tour of the site. “For assembly and foundation, we like to hire locally. When it comes to stringing [of the line itself], that’s fairly specialized and we have to bring in our own people,” he said. Valard does have an experienced local workforce – people it hired at the beginning of the year to work on a power line project in Fort McMurray. But some are still at work in Alberta on other Valard projects. “We may not be able to get them back here because of our guys in Alberta,” said McTavish. The camp contains full food services, laundry and other facilities. The single rooms are large and have shared bathrooms with another room in what’s called a “Jack and Jill” set up. Workers spend three weeks in camp and one out with a shift being being 10 hours a day. Valard will have at least four and possibly five camps along the power line route, anchored by the larger one here and a large one at Bob Quinn. At construction peak, the company could have upwards of 150 people

at its various camps but the total population could be larger because of other companies working on various aspects of the line. Construction activity is taking place simultaneously at various locations. The activity began early in the new year by clearing a route north of the Skeena Substation toward the Skeena River and at Bob Quinn in the north reaching south. The seven kilometres from the Skeena Substation to the Skeena River paralleled an existing line running to the north and it’ll cross the river at the same location of the existing line just before New Remo. The clearing work was done by the Kitselas First Nation on a contract awarded directly by BC Hydro that follows a policy of involving First Nations in work when work takes place on their traditional territory. Clearing work for

the portion of the line running through Kitsumkalum and that First Nation will benefit. The Kitsumkalum will also benefit in a different way because the cleared land upon which Valard’s local construction camp and marshalling yard is located belongs to the Kitsumkalum. “It’s fully serviced with electricity, water and sewer,” says McTavish. “For us, we need to have a yard but when we leave it, it’ll for the long term use of the Kitsumkalum. It’s something they can use.” Valard will be installing 1,100 towers along the 334km route. The construction plan is to first prepare all of the foundations. “Once we’re out of the ground, we’re a bit more comfortable,” said McTavish. The transmission Line is to be completed by mid-2014. Valard is planning to

be in the region a long time. It has the contract for a 10km 138kv line over a section of mountain to connect the Long Lake run of river project near Stewart into an existing 287kv line which connects to the BC Hydro provincial grid at Meziadin. And it will be building a 40km line to con-

nect the AltaGas Forrest Kerr run of river project along the Iskut River to the Northwest Tranmission Line’s Bob Quinn substation. That’s just one of the lines AltaGas will need because of its plans for two other run of river projects in the area. McTavish reels off a list of other potential

work up to and including the construction of a line from the Red Chris copper property near Iskut south to the Bob Quinn substation, the Galore Creek copper property and the Seabridge gold development. BC Hydro itself is planning work on existing lines and planning

for new construction in the region as well to service what promises to be a burgeoning liquefied natural gas industry. “There’s a lot of work up here as long as governments stay supportive of industry and as long as commodity prices stay strong,” said McTavish.

More work underway THE NORTHWEST Transmission Line isn’t the only power line project in the area. The Dasque and Middle Creek run of river project south and west of Terrace requires a 22km line connecting it to BC Hydro’s Skeena Substation. It’s a smaller project of 20 megawatts and became the property of Versen Energy of Calgary when it bought Swift Power two years ago. The line’s being built by Allteck Line Contractors which two years ago purchased local company Twin River Power. Allteck, based in the lower mainland, has a long-standing

working relationship with Rio Tinto Alcan. The Dasque project is to be a 63 kv line strung along 220 wooden poles using a workforce of between 12-15 people. “We’ll be starting in mid-July and be finished in November, mid-November,” says Robin Lucas, Allteck’s senior vice president of operations. He describes the terrain as challenging but with the advantage of paralleling an existing BC Hydro line right of way. “There’s also a [Pacific Natural Gas] line there so we’re in an established corridor. There’s less

clearing and less environmental impact by working in an existing corridor,” said Lucas. Both Valard and Allteck are owned by the Quanta Services, a very large Houston, Texas that through subsidiaries designs, installs, and maintains infrastructure for the electric power, renewable energy, natural gas, telecommunications and broadband cable. Quanta expects revenues for the full year 2012 to range between (US) $5.4 billion and (US) $5.7 billion. Quanta purchased Allteck in 2001 and Valard in 2010.

THESE SHOPPERS Drug Mart employees at the Lakelse Ave. location have been on strike since May 1. But talks resume today. Union of Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1518, said in April. Pharmacy technicians got $1.20 over three years, he said. In the Lower Mainland, a clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary ranges from entry level of $10.40 to $16.70 and for a pharmacy technician the range is $10.65 to $18.75, he said. The union says talks broke off mid-April when the owner offered a proposal that fell short of the terms reached at stores in southern B.C. and did not address specific concerns brought up by the Terrace members. In an earlier let-

ter, dated June 1, Rae suggested the union members consider an agreement similar to the contract agreed to in Quesnel. Although there are not specific details as to what is in the Quesnel agreement, employees there voted 95 per cent in favour of accepting it this March. It expires in 2015, and includes signing bonuses, wage increases over the last two years of the collective agreement, a merged payscale, and improvements to rules around scheduling, according to a notice on the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. But over the past two months, the union and

its members have said they are firm in their resolve to negotiate a contract like in the Lower Mainland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not about the Quesnel agreement,â&#x20AC;? said union representative Kim Novak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our focus is on establishing an agreement that meets the needs of the employees in Terrace, and that is a contract that is comparable to the one in the Lower Mainland.â&#x20AC;? The Terrace store unionized in 2008 and had its first contract negotiation in 2009. Clerks and pharmacy technicians voted 96 per cent in favour of striking if need be at a March 18 meeting.

City boss resigns after just three months THE CITY’S top administrator has resigned and the city is now working to fill his position. Don Ramsay handed in his resignation last Tuesday, June 26. “On June 26th, mayor and council accepted the resignation from Don Ramsay,” said Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski. “I would like to thank Mr. Ramsay on behalf of coun-

cil for the work he did with the city during his time with us and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.” City staff have started looking into a replacement already, said Pernarowski. “We are fortunate to have a dedicated, experienced management team and administrative team at the City of Terrace to help us through this transition,” he said.

There was no immediate reason offered for Ramsay’s resignation. Ramsay’s resignation comes just over three months since he began working for the city. Ramsay was hired March 12, 2012 to replace Ron Poole who left nearly a year ago to become the top municipal administrator in Kitimat. City official Heather

Avison will be taking on the role of interim chief administrative officer, a position she undertook after Poole left last summer. Ramsay came to the city from his position as the Skeena district manager for the provincial transportation and infrastructure ministry. He’d worked with the province for nearly 16 years prior to taking the

RCMP respond to drunk youth RCMP were kept busy on prom night in Terrace. “Calls directly related to intoxicated youth started around 9 p.m. on Saturday and for the next seven hours police responded to approximately 20 calls related to ... under age drinking,” read an RCMP press release last week. There was also significant vandalism that night too, said the release, including lawns driven on, lawn ornaments destroyed and garbage thrown about. “It is disheartening that this type of disrespectful behaviour occurs,” said RCMP Insp. Dana Hart in the release. “In past grad weekends there have been alcohol related fights, vandalism, assaults and even death. Regrettably, this pattern was repeated.” At a party at the Thunderbird gravel pit, a young male threw a beer bottle and a rock at an RCMP vehicle breaking the front windshield, continued the release. While no RCMP members were hurt, the van has been taken out of service. “There were hundreds of youth at the parties who saw what happened, not just with the RCMP vehicle, but the vandalism elsewhere,” said Hart. “I am optimistic that someone with a social conscience will do the right thing and help identify the persons responsible. Otherwise it is the citizens of Terrace that will end up covering the cost.” Police are also concerned about how many under age youth got liquor in the first place.

Protecting our province from the harmful effects of used oil and antifreeze must be a responsibility we all share, together. So please, next time you look to dispose of used oil or antifreeze materials, find a collection facility near you. Here are three easy ways to do so:

Don Ramsay

In a continued effort to encourage higher rates of recovery, BCUOMA has built a strong support network across the province. Today, participation includes 209 brand-owner members, 39 collectors and processors, 520+ return collection facilities and more than 4,000 generators. In addition, BCUOMA is reprising its successful ambassador program this summer – with two ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling.

Although it’s commonly accepted that oil and antifreeze are not household garbage we can simply throw out, more than one million litres of used oil ends up in BC landfills every year. When you consider that it only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a million drops of water, the problem is clear: there’s just too many drops to count, too many to ignore. BCUOMA is a non-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.

job as city manager with the City of Terrace. At the time of his hire, Ramsay said he planned to stay with the city for six to nine years. Ramsay, 64, had said then that he was “pumped” to take on the job and new challenges at the front of an economic upswing here. Ramsay was not available for comment about his resignation.

ONE DROP MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

It opened to one-lane alternating traffic before being cleared completely. BC Ambulance personnel and New Hazelton and Terrace RCMP officers responded to the scene at Flint Creek, east of Terrace. The accident involved a commercial lumber transport and a van. Ambulances took the injured to Mills Memorial Hospital in Terrace for treatment. Five people in the van were transported to Mills Memorial Hospital with injuries and have since been released from the hospital, indicates a release from the Terrace RCMP detachment. The five were adults from Kitwanga. Early on, police investigators were currently examining the possibility that the collision has alcohol as a contributing factor.

Manager takes ﬁnal curtain call AFTER 11 years as the manager of REM Lee Theatre, theatre maven Karla Hennig has taken her final bow. “The ride has been incredible,” she said. “It’s a fantastic gig. I could probably do it for another five years, but my husband’s retired, and it’s quite a physical job. There are lots of things I want to do – hike, travel – and this isn’t the type of job you can just go away from for a little while.” As theatre manager, Hennig has been involved in countless productions at REM Lee – everything from her first event, a Jehovah’s Witness conference, to yearly high school productions of Shakespeare and musical theatre, graduation ceremonies, ballet. “Just about every show has a magical moment,” she said. “I get this feeling of real happiness. I think it’s because there’s always the potentiality for a perfect show.” Not that every show has run smoothly, she’s quick to point out. She’s seen people throw up, get nosebleeds, break legs. “I don’t have a typical day,” she said. When Hennig first came to the theatre, the systems were really old and couldn’t support some of the acts that wanted to come into town. REM Lee is a roadhouse, meaning that travelling acts book out the theatre – so long as the theatre can support their technical needs. “The community really stepped up to the plate,” she said. Noting that over the years the community has given upwards of $200,000 to support the theatre and revamp the lighting, the sound systems, monitors and cameras. The school boards have been instrumental in keeping the theatre running, as well as service groups, grants from individual patrons and the local Rotary Clubs, she said. Hennig’s always been involved in theatre, both on the stage as an actor and behind the scenes as a writer and director, but it’s been tough for her to commit wholeheartedly to a large project because of her demanding schedule at REM Lee. That doesn’t mean she hasn’t found time to be active at Terrace Little Theatre over the years,

FORMER REM Lee Theatre manager Karla Hennig stands on stage at the theatre. She retired from her position after 11 years on June 30. “I’ve lived in a lot of towns, and the quality at Terrace Little Theatre is generally very, very high,” she said. Her next project is shaping up to be a play about the history of women in Terrace, and she’s excited to have some more time to focus on writing, directing and acting. “I have no plans to leave this community,”

she said. But she is leaving the community for a short while. Hennig and her husband are taking off in their blue VW van to explore the Grand Canyon and do some hiking and camping on the Gulf Islands. The loose plan is to be on the road for 4 months.

As a final send-off, Hennig’s friends and colleagues at the theatre threw her a surprise party on June 3 in the form of a two hour theatre revue, complete with speeches, dances, and short skits. “I can’t say enough about it,” she said. “I was pretty much a puddle for most of the night.”

Grade ﬁve’s good samaritans

GRADE FIVE students Sophia Franco (middle) and Mackenzie Gorman present animal control officer Janet Coburn with the money they raised during a mock-election project at school.

A CLASS of grade five students took what was supposed to be a year-end mock-election assignment and turned it into a real-life opportunity to raise money for charity. Earlier this month, students in Teresa Palahicky’s class at Veritas Catholic School took part in a fake election in order to learn about how the Canadian government works. Student Sophia Franco ran as Liberal leader on a platform of giving to charity and helping people cope with problems like bullying. Her opponent, Mackenzie Gorman, ran as NDP leader with the campaign promise of “recycling and helping the

school to buy sports equipment and textbooks.” The assignment required the girls to make posters, and give a speech to the class about their vision for the school before the whole class would vote for their leader. But to Palahicky’s surprise, the class took it to another level by actually acting out their election promises – over three days, the students arranged a bake sale and lemonade stand to raise money for their respective causes. And they did it all under their teacher’s nose. “I had no idea they were doing any of this,” said Palahicky. After coming up with the

idea for the bake sale and deciding who would do and bake what, the students went to the principal and asked him to put their sale on the next day’s announcements. Then they spent their lunch hour selling their goods to the rest of the school. The class raised $171.84 in total. “Not a small feat for having organized the sale in three days,” said Palahicky. With the money, the class bought sports equipment for the school and donated a portion to the local animal shelter. As for the results of the election, Franco was voted Prime Minister, with Gorman a close second, making her Leader of the Opposition.

Cash raised by plastic dress AFTER MONTHS of campaigning, Terrace high school grad Amy Spencer raised enough money to wear a garbage bag to prom. The 18-year-old Caledonia Senior Secondary graduate set out to raise $1000 for the Cinderella Project, a charity based in the Lower Mainland that donates prom dresses to girls who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford them, saying should she reach her mark she’d be glad to wear a bag to her big night. While Spencer’s goal was to reach $1000, donations surpassed that amount, with $500 being donated a local cause that too helps grads dress for prom called You’ll Be There. “As for Amy, that girl’s an angel,” said Darlene Reid, the local woman who organizes You’ll Be There. “For a young person to do that, that’s stellar.” This year, Reid said she helped dress six Terrace girls dress for prom, and that money from Spencer’s campaign will go toward buying more dresses, shoes and jewellery for graduates next year. In 2013, Reid wants to expand the locally-based project to Prince Rupert and Kitimat. “You need all different sizes in all different styles,” said

Reid of the prom dresses she sources yearly. “All the girls who got dresses this year, it was like they were custom made.” Reid said she also looks for shoes, accessories and dresses all year round for girls who may need them. This year, girls visited Reids home anonymously, and everything they chose they were allowed to keep, said Reid. “It’s just like shopping,” she said, adding that members of the community volunteered to do hair, nails, make-up, dry-cleaning and alterations for free. “The people in this town are totally amazing,” said Reid. “And the girls were beautiful.” And as for Spencer, she opted to wear not one but a couple of garbage bags to prom this year, which her mother Cheryl Spencer fashioned into a dress. Her date, Kyle Pedro, wore some garbage bags too, sewn into a long coat with a collar, a boutonniere pinned to his chest. “It was hot,” said Spencer about wearing plastic to prom, adding she was pleased with money raised. “I liked it because some people didn’t even know that it wasn’t a real dress.”

Northmen continue to conquer THE TERRACE Northmen rugby club has been having a heck of a season, grinding out wins both away and at home. During Seafest in Prince Rupert, the team won both of their games, one against Rupert and another against a Smithers/Prince George team. Both match-ups were low-scoring and very defensive, and the Northmen didn’t allow either team a point against them. On June 23 the team faced off against the Prince Rupert Seamen, who had teamed up with some players from Smithers, for a game here at home on the college field, winning 3712. The game was part of the northwest rugby championship series. “It was a fun game,” said Northmen player Mike Homeniuk of the win. “It took the Seamen the first half to work out a few kinks, but then in the second half they came out very strong.” The second half saw a more physical game of both teams, with heavy hits being delivered by each side. The win was a team effort, said Homeniuk. “The game was mostly ground out in the forwards, but when we called on the backs, they performed,” he said. “Almost every time we spun the ball to the back they were able to crash the plain and gain yards for us.” Next up, the team is travelling to Prince George for two match-ups, one against Prince George and the other against Vernon, who is making the trek as well. “We played Prince George two weeks ago during Seafest and beat them 14-0, but it will be harder to beat them at home,” said Homeniuk. They’re also up for a hard match against Vernon. The Vernon rugby club has just cancelled their one division team due to the heavy amount of travel required, which means their three division team is riddled with one division players and will be tough to beat.

Kitimat dragon boat fest is on

Some of the team gathered at a wind-up association barbecue June 28 at Elks Park. From the left are coach Fern George, Levi Hansen, Katherine Peters, Leo Nast, Dakota Taron, Adrian Babcock, Craig Nast and coach Dan Driediger.

The 7th annual Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Regatta takes place in Kitimat this weekend, with members of the Lakelse Dragons team heading up to compete. The Terrace team will have its final paddle session before the Kitimat regatta tonight at Water Lily Bay. The Kitimat dragon boat festival is all about inclusiveness and promoting dragon boating in the area. It is a chance for people who have never tried dragon boating to give it a shot. Dragon boating is mainly defined by being a sport with a strong team mentality and culture. Along with rowers, boats are manned by a steer person as well as a drummer, who keeps a beat for

the team to row to. Everyone pulls together towards the finish line. For the Kitimat fest, a shuttle takes participants out to Minette Bay Marina every 30 minutes from the Christ the King Catholic Church and there is a food fair and live music. Last year, there were more that 240 dragon boaters from Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Terrace participating in the regatta, making it the largest one yet. Next up for the Terrace dragon boaters, there will be a Get Dragon Boating event during Riverboat days and the 7th annual Lakelse Dragon Boat Regatta on September 8 at Furlong Bay, Lakelse Lake.

espite the shoddy logging that has taken place in the Terrace area (and surprisingly is still going on at a much reduced rate) we are still internationally famous for our salmon fishery, one subset of which, the steelhead fishery, is the finest in the world. The salmon fishery is at the heart of the nascent tourism industry in the Skeena Valley, and a well controlled, financially stable, lucrative guiding industry is essential to its success. Entering the penultimate round of the Quality Waters Strategy (QWS) talks, the representatives of the Terrace guides, Dustin Kovacvich, Randy Dozzi, Dan Daigle, and Andrew Rushton, hoped for a consensus that would bring stability to their industry, provide an opportunity for sensible growth within it, and deal with the issue of illegal guiding. Like the representatives of the other stakeholders, they expected the negotiations to revolve around the ministry’s historical angling use data, some notion of the amount of fishable water on each river, and some suggested guidelines regarding what percentage of resident angler, guide, and non resident alien anglers might participate in the fisheries. This was a reasonable expectation considering that the Angling Management Plans developed for the rivers in the Kootenays and, prior to that, those originally developed for the upper

RUNNERS TAKE off at the 4th annual Salmon Run held at the Kitsumkalum ball field on June 24. The year’s event was the most successful run yet, say organizers.

SalmonRun’s wildly successful The fourth annual SalmonRun, held at the Kitsumkalum ball field on June 24, was the most successful one yet, say organizers, with almost 400 people participating in the race, and scores of others spectating and taking part in the awards and festivities. “It was the biggest one yet,” said organizer Arjunna Miyagawa. The event, which raises awareness for maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle, has seen a steady increase in par-

ticipants since it started four years ago with 120 people. It takes a plethora of volunteers to help the event run smoothly – people working the registration table, getting the awards ceremony set up, cooking the salmon BBQ, readying the start and finish line. The race started at 10 a.m. and there were three categories – a 2 kilometre elder’s walk, and 5 and 10 kilometre road races. In the 5km road race, the overall men’s winner was

Davis Lindsay with a time of 17:45. The woman’s overall winner was Lynn Kanuka with a time for 19:29. The men’s overall winner for the 10km road race was Kevin Garneau with a time of 38:15. In the women’s race, Tanya Kormendy took the top time with 42:57. Results for the elder’s walk are as follows: Female Age Group: 01 - 06 1. Theresa Mccarron, 3, 30:24 2. Violet Lillie, 4, 36:57

causing anything that could reasonably be called crowding. If the Lakelse River was in Quebec or New Brunswick, it would have a number of guides whom non-residents would be required to hire in order to fish. Local guides long ago agreed to stay off the Lakelse River. The QWS document set out a hierarchy of exclusion that stated non residents would be the first group restricted by regulations, guides would be next group restricted, and residents the last. This over arching principle provided guides with a strong argument to open the Lakelse to guiding. They didn’t press for this with the understanding that non residents, who fish the river in significant numbers and guide themselves on it, had to be restricted. Out of this came the recommendation that only residents would fish the river above the power line 2 km above the Skeena confluence. That recommendation was adopted but with an amendment brought in to satisfy objections from DFO that defines all residents of Canada as residents. What that means is that you or I, as non residents of Quebec or New Brunswick, require guides or are otherwise restricted when fishing salmon on the rivers in those provinces, while Quebeckers and anglers from NB can fish the Lakelse unfettered by similar rules, and the aforementioned principle has been thrown out the window.

Cemetery now has car access THE CITY of Terrace has re-opened the vehicle gate to its cemetery on Kalum Lake Rd. It was opened last week and will remain unlocked, said Terrace’s director of leisure services Carmen Didier. “It was just determined that it was best they be opened back up,” she said. “Last week they were opened ... they’re open all the time.” The city had first decided to lock the vehicle gate to its cemetery after a string of vandalism incidents. Following that action, several community members protested because locked vehicle gates blocked a drive-

around road that enabled vehicle access to grave sites. The locked vehicle gate meant only a walk-through gate was accessible during most hours. Local Arlene Ridler has two children buried in the cemetery, and said that her mother-in-law was unable to visit one of the plots due to mobility issues. She was concerned that there are many senior citizens who have loved ones buried there, and that locked vehicle gates acted as a barrier to the healing process, part of which involved visiting the grave sites of loved ones.

RCMP dog works After car windows were smashed at Pronto Towing early Saturday morning, Terrace’s RCMP dog sniffed out the vandals. Alongside Toma, a german shepherd breed of dog trained to assist RCMP, was handler Cpl. Rob Budvarson. The two caught up with three youth who were then arrested. At 3 a.m. June 23, RCMP were called with a complaint of three youth smashing car windows at Pronto Towing on Queensway Dr. Upon arrival, police saw three youth running away, sliding down a slope, according to an RCMP press release this afternoon. “The area was dark with little to no artificial light,” said Terrace RCMP Cst. Angela Rabut. The youth continued to run after police identified themselves, but Toma was able to track each youth. “Police arrested a 14 year old girl, a 14 year old boy and a 15 year old boy for break and enter and mischief,” said the release.
