City chases resource dollars THE CITY is continuing to pursue the provincial government for a share of the tax revenues expected when large industrial projects are developed in the region. There’s no current mechanism in place for the city

to benefit from projects in more remote areas even though its costs may rise because of resulting increases in population and demand for services. Mayor Dave Pernarowski said the city has been look-

ing at the provincial government’s northeastern Fair Share program in which municipalities and regional districts there will divide $35.3 million this year thanks to a very healthy oil and gas industry.

The program provides what the province calls grants in lieu of taxation and local governments are free to spend the money as they see fit. “A precedent has been set in the province with with

the northeast Fair Share program,” says Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski of the approach being taken by the city. “There are a number of projects in this region that will have an impact on the

city.” But Pernarowski said provincial finance minister Kevin Falcon has so far been less than enthusiastic about a similar Fair Share program for the northwest.

Protesters greet Enbridge luncheon NEARLY 30 women protested a June 19 Enbridge-sponsored luncheon attended by other women, saying it was an attempt to gain favour for the company’s Northern Gateway Pipeline plan. The event called on women to have a “heart to heart” with Enbridge officials over the community’s future. But protest organizers say the agenda was not about having women discuss the future but to organize support for Enbridge. Twenty women attended the event held inside Northwest Community College’s longhouse where lunch was served and paid for by Enbridge and female Enbridge employees were in attendance. Nearly 30 women stood outside, wearing anti-Enbridge-themed attire. Some women who had planned to attend turned away at the sight of the protesters, said one event organizer and Enbridge employee Lucy Praught. “Cross sections of leaders from education and the business community to concerned and curious mothers were present in the room,” said Praught, adding, “it would have been great for more concerned women to join us at the table and to share their vision for the community in a way that others could be engaged and listen to understand all sides of the story.” But protesters disputed the intent of the luncheon. “We’re not interested in breaking bread with them,” said one protest organizer, Lori Merrill, about Enbridge officials in attendance. “We were insulted that they would come try to buy us lunch.” According to Merrill, conversations and concerns about the pipeline have happened already and that some women, herself included, are already opposed to the Northern Gateway plan. Having lunch and talking will not sway opinions on either side, she said. “I was proud to stand with Terrace women [last week] and say no “thank you,” Mer-

rill said. Another protester, Julia Hill, said opposition was aimed at the event, not the women who were inside the longhouse. “Let’s leave the people out of it ... the moment we bring people into it is the moment we divide people,” said Hill. “It’s about the issue.” The issue to Hill is the possibility of an oil-carrying pipeline being built through the northern wilderness and the possibility that a leak or spill will cause environmental damage. “There is nothing they can say to us that will change our minds,” she said. “There is nothing we can say to them that can change theirs. The conversation is over.” That wasn’t the case for some of the women who did have lunch. Lael McKeown said she wanted to see more events such as the luncheon.“I’d really like the opportunity in Terrace to hear a wider discussion,” said McKeown after the event. She added that there is still much she would like to learn about Enbridge and its pipelines and that there has been little discussion of such in Terrace in a broad format. She said the luncheon was a unique opportunity to speak with other women in business about things like work-life balance. With regards to female Enbridge officials being present and the company sponsoring the event, she added, “It didn’t really bother me at all. There are some intelligent and articulate women for Enbridge and they bring some perspective on a global scale and it was nice to hear their stories.” McKeown said while she may have a different opinion than the protesters, it doesn’t affect her perception of the women who stood outside. “I want to make it clear, a number of women who I have a great deal of respect for stood outside. I hope that in the future we can have dialogue also.”

Solemn oath New Canadians from around the region are sworn in at local ceremony MORE THAN 60 people from the northwest gathered with family and friends at Northwest Community College June 22 to take their citizenship oaths. Applause broke out at one point when citizenship judge Robert Douglas Watt asked the audience to vigorously wave the small Canadian flags that had been placed on chairs. Watt said the citizenship oaths came at a particularly interesting time with recent celebrations in honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s diamond jubilee. “She’s continuing to serve in the wonderful way she has served for all those years,” said Watt. And he said 2012 is also significant because it is the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 between Great Britain and the United States. “It was the last time Canada was ever invaded,” said Watt. “British troops, First Nations warriors and Canadian volunteers eventually prevailed.” Watt said Canada then went on to develop a country “founded on the rule of law and respect for others.” He did remind the new citizens that citizenship is like a coin, there are two sides – rights and responsibilities. “Both sides are equal in their importance,” said Watt. One very important feature of Canada is the quality of men and women, the judge continued. He said a fellow citizenship judge in Vancouver would tell people that Canadian women do not walk behind men. “They walk beside men. Sometimes they walk in front of men, but they do not walk behind men,” said Watt in quoting the other judge. Those who took the oath had the option of swearing or affirming. Each pronounced his or her own name with a raised right hand and then took the oath together first in English and then in French under the direction of Watt. He also invited the audience to renew their citizenships by taking the oath along with the new Canadians. The official party was made up of Watt, clerk of ceremony Louise Cote-Mandeill who, like Watt, is from the lower mainland, Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski, wearing his chain of office, and Francoise Godet and Denis Gagne, Terrace assistants for Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen and Skeena MLA Robin Austin respectively. Also in attendance as a member of the official party was Terrace RCMP Constable Angela Rabut dressed in red serge. Watt serves as a part-time citizenship judge. His past service included being the Chief Herald of Canada, a position that involves approving coats of arms. In that capacity, he accompanied former Governor General Adrienne Clarkson to the Nass Valley to present the Nisga’a Nation with its official badge of the Nisga’a Nation.

Architect reaches for local vision By Lauren Benn A WORLD-FAMOUS architect touched down in Terrace last week to share his vision for Terrace’s former Co-op property. Douglas Cardinal, who has worked on buildings internationally alongside figures like former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, talked about what he would do if asked to design a building for the now-vacant Greig Ave. city-owned space. Cardinal talked first with the city’s Co-op property task force and then with a room of more than 100 people who gathered at Northwest Community College’s Longhouse June 19. The presentations talked about Cardinal’s creative process — about how he sees the Co-op property to be at the heart of the community — and why to design a building for the space, his process includes listening to and involving people. “It’s not tokenism,” he said. “You have to be able to truly listen and incorporate their ideas and their mandates and agendas ... to craft a vision that resonates with the people is extremely important. “When you’re looking at planning any large building you have to look at the community ... as a whole entire organism that works together,” he added. Cardinal was invited by Sasa Loggin, who sits on the task-force as a representative from the Skeena Diversity Society. “Sasa called the office and we were talking about the future planning and development of the area,” said Cardinal after the presentations. “If the people here would like me to work with them I’d be happy to.” As Cardinal resides in the Ottawa, Ontario area, he said that he’s made a decided effort to spend more time out west where he can be closer to family as he grew up on this side of the country. That mixed with his experience working in comparatively smaller communities was a draw for him to come here. But should he be asked to build a building for the Co-op property, Cardinal said it would not be “his” building. “I try to encourage people to realize they have the power ... to make a difference,” he said, emphasizing the importance of working to achieve a vision that works for everyone.

And his words aren’t merely lipservice to an ideology — Cardinal has a proven track record of community involvement in buildings that serve many interests, not just his own vision. An example of this is the OujéBougoumou Cree village located in Quebec near James Bay. “We were threatened and coerced into abandoning our village sites which were then bulldozed and destroyed,” said a historical summary on the Oujé-Bougoumou website, citing increasing industry interest in their traditional territory as the reason. By 1992, after a decade-long fight involving various levels of government, the Oujé-Bougoumou Cree reached agreements with both Canada and Quebec which included paying for a new village to be built. Cardinal designed the village and community members there were actively involved in the process. “Throughout our planning and construction the community members have participated at every level of decision-making and direction-setting, from the expression of hopes, dreams and visions, to decisions on more technical matters involving the direction of basic construction issues,” said a story on the Oujé-Bougoumou website about the village. The village was designed to incorporate varying functions like “a source of learning, a source of spiritual renewal, a source of physical and economic sustenance, and a source for the healing of many wounds, both past and present.” By the end of the process, this was achieved, said Cardinal to the task force. And while developing the Coop property would incorporate the same kind of involvement, it would be unique to the visions here, he said. This would first take approval by council and money to hire him, said Loggin. The purpose of forming the task force was to gather information about future land use and make a recommendation to council, she said. “I think what we wanted was for the task force to hear him,” she said, adding that to have him build it “would be the opportunity of a lifetime.” Given the history of the property, which was once as a bustling

ALONGSIDE HIS wife and partner Idoia Arana-Beobide de Cardinal, Douglas Cardinal came to Terrace last week to talk about a vision for the former Co-op property. shopping centre owned by the Terrace Co-operative Association prior to its closure in the late 1990s following the downfall of the forest industry here, Loggin said that it is a place that is close to people in this community in different ways. Having someone who knows how to listen and involve the com-

munity, incorporating various interests and visions in the process, would be a gift, she said. “There is nobody better,” she said. “I know we kind of took a leap, but I’m convinced.” One hurdle is money, she acknowledged. “I always say money follows a

good idea ... because it’s viable,” said Cardinal. Cardinal, born in Alberta in 1934, has designed buildings and won awards for his work internationally. His list includes buildings like the Canadian Museum of Civilization and a building at the University of Saskatchewan.

Local consulting ﬁrm looks for ofﬁce space AS BUSINESS picks up in the northwest, preparations are being made by a local consulting firm to keep up with the pace. Triton Environmental Consultants’ business has been ramping up alongside major projects, its staff nearly doubling in the last two years and expected to triple come December. It has been looking for a new space to house workers and also more of its equipment — eyeing three lots on the corner of Greig

and Apsley. Two weeks ago, city council approved zoning changes to accommodate a new use for the space, bringing the company that much closer to building new office and storage space there. While the company, which provides environmental consultation and monitoring services, has yet to purchase the property, which takes in the former Greyhound bus depot, Triton project manager Cody Latimer said the company wanted

the zoning change approved prior to buying. “This is not a confirmed sale,” he said. “If we do decide to move and we do decide to purchase, then the building is applicable to our business.” But Triton needed to come up with basic plans for what it would do with the space, which would involve a complete renovation and building a storage space in the current parking lot. The purpose of rebuilding a fa-

cility would be “to show our commitment to the area and obviously to have a nice presence within the community and a nice work space for our employees,” said Latimer. Triton is now in the Trigo building on Kalum but has outgrown the space. New facilities would provide 2000 to 3000 square feet of storage space with roughly 3000 square feet of office space, said Latimer. “We’re steadily increasing and we’re pre-planning for what’s an-

ticipated to come near August,” he said. “The budget for the project hasn’t been confirmed.” Triton now has 14 people in Terrace, up from six two years ago. It expects to have 20 on staff by the end of the year. Clients in the region include Shell Canada, Kitimat LNG, Swift Power, Pacific Northern Gas and Bechtel (Rio Tinto Alcan’s primary contractor on its Kitimat aluminum smelter rebuilding project) .

EDITORIAL

Blackout THERE’S an element of discrimination in BC Hydro’s treatment of its residential customers because of its two-tier pricing system. In areas of the province where lights come on earlier and go off later because of winter’s darkness or where electricity is the primary heat source, that first tier is easily reached. The alternative is to fumble your way around in the dark and install a wood stove, hardly something that BC Hydro’s owners, who are its customers because this is a crown corporation, should expect. The problem is that providing electricity is a monopoly. The vast, vast majority of residential customers have no option but BC Hydro. And BC Hydro, with no realistic competitor, has no urgent reason to change its ways. It’s ironic that BC Hydro is spending $1 billion and change to promote its smart meters as something that is good for residents when it’s not. Smart meters will certainly help BC Hydro by, for example, accurately pinpointing outages. All they will do for residents is tell them on which hour of which day they will start paying more for power. Now, if BC Hydro’s smart meters gave consumers choices, say, about when to use power based on rates tied to time-of-day use, that would be something else. But if BC Hydro has either no market driven or technical need to do so, consumers suffer in the end. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Bikers need to know rules of the road

bserving bicyclists in downtown Terrace you’d never suspect riding on crosswalks is illegal. You can frequently see bikers riding crosswalks at Lakelse and Ottawa; Lakelse and Emerson; Lakelse and Kalum; and Kalum and Park. All these intersections are controlled by lights. Bikers are governed by the same road rules as vehicular traffic. But few bikers appear to know the rules; even fewer observe the rules. The results can be dire. As an example, the Prince George Citizen recently reported that in one week three cyclist-caused accidents in that city sent bikers to hospital with minor injuries: A 22-year-old man was issued a ticket for riding on the sidewalk and riding without a helmet after he lost control while riding down a hill at a high rate of speed and striking a vehicle. He was fined $158. A 17-year-old cyclist was issued tickets for riding on the sidewalk and without a helmet following a collision with a vehicle. And a boy darted into the crosswalk while still on his

He might have ended up in the vehicle’s glove compartment except he was able to jump off his bike before he collided. At least he was wearing a helmet. But police warned him not to ride on crosswalks. A biker pushing his bike on a crosswalk is far easier to see than a rider perched like a praying mantis on a web of spokes.

S TANDARD

My painful learning experience occurred one icy October morning when I slid sideways on a frozen pothole, tumbled off, and bounced my skull on the pavement like a ping pong ball losing momentum. Other rules I ride by are look both ways before crossing an intersection, take corners slowly especially if they are wet or spattered with gravel, always ride on the far right, and signal early with my arm when I plan to turn. If I have to walk up a hill or to catch my breath, I switch to the left side of the highway where pedestrians belong. I never wear headphones; listening to recorded music would drown out traffic sounds it’s best to be aware of. And I don’t stop to visit in the middle of the road, a practice peculiar to Thornhill motorists. I can sympathize with bikers who feel facing traffic on the left side of the highway is a safer place to ride, but doing so is illegal. Bikers are expected to travel single file, observe lights, stop signs and any other regulatory highway signs just as vehicles should. Too many bikers in Terrace disregard the laws.

Pedaling along a treelined residential street I can listen to robins and sparrows, and breathe in the aroma of fruit trees and flowers. At my leisurely pace I have time to observe seasonal changes in trees and hedges without veering into a ditch. Biking for half an hour burns about 300 calories, the equivalent of two average home baked cookies or half a piece of pie. If only I biked first, and indulged in a goody later this would be a perfect weightwatching endeavour. I may pass up the bike excursion, but seldom do I pass up the baked treat. Though I would prefer to ride without a helmet as I did when I was in school, a helmet is a safety feature I adopted years before my grandkids began learning to ride a tricycle. After they started riding I felt obligated to set a good example. Now my vivid memory of a bad fall plus the risk of paying a hefty fine keeps me riding legal with the helmet snugly cinched under my chin.

LIBERAL PREMIER Christy Clark speaking in the provincial legislature.

Good luck, Madam Premier Dear Sir: Whistling women and crowing hens, always come to some bad end. Just wanted to show my depth at quoting old, very old, proverbs. Right now Christy Clark is, according to some, in serious trou-

ble. But what about the history of women in politics? Do I remember history? Let me see. There was a Prime Minister by the name of Mulroney who passed the helm to a lady, one Kim Campbell. There was a premier

by the name of Vander Zalm who passed the helm to a lady, one Rita Johnson. There was a lady, one Carole James, who cleaned up a mess. There was a Premier, by the name of Gordon Campbell, who passed the helm to a lady, one

Christy Clark That part of history is more or less correct. In case of MulroneyCampbell, the mess left behind by said Mulroney was too great a legacy for Campbell to bear. She lost the government, going from too many seats to a number

too embarrassing to speak of. It now appears that the man made a mess of things, the woman was left to clean up, but found, to her regret, that the mess was piled too deep.

Dear Sir: The front page headline “New fish regs affect tourism” (June 6) really caught my attention. Many things are going to affect tourism this year, including the high Canadian dollar, economic problems in Europe, and expensive air flights, to name a few. The article implied that non-Canadians would not be able to fish on weekends. It should be pointed out that although popular areas are closed weekends, fishing below Terrace is unchanged and open all week. From talking to participants of the three years of meetings on the issue, I know that the regulation changes are attempting to relieve crowding and enhance the quality angling experience. The fact is that the Skeena and its tributaries are the last places that anglers, without boats, planes or helicopters, can drive to the river and catch summer run steelhead. Anglers know this and that is why they come and will continue to come. What the tourism industry should really be worried about is what happens when the first oil spills after Enbridge builds the Northern Gateway pipeline. Doug Webb, Terrace, BC

Chopper pilot’s life revealed in new book

ank is my brother and the only man I know who can write a book (it’s called Wolf’s Moon) for over 10 years, and renovate his entire house at the same time. I recall the days when we were teens and the only time I saw him was with his heels sticking out from under an old Model A. The next thing I knew, Hank was married, a jet plane pilot of CF-100s, and doing a fly-by for Queen Elizabeth when she visited Canada in the 50s. My father, having been in the RCAF during the Second World War, couldn’t have been prouder. Hank then worked for several companies – Okanagan Helicopters and Vancouver Island Helicopters. Hank made the first page of the Vancouver Sun when he hit a major power line in Port Alberni, knocking out all the electricity in town. Apparently, the main power line was bouncing around the ground like a love-sick cobra, sparks flying. I couldn’t resist asking: “Then what did you do?” He replied, ”I parked the ‘copter’ and

ran like hell.” Hank’s the lucky type, there’s no doubt. When he first became a Flying Officer in the air force, he had to take a survival course with a buddy in the Arctic. He said they were freezing and starving inside a rather lop-sided igloo when they heard the loud clamor of a dog team outside. He said that in a matter of minutes, a few Eskimo women had cut holes in the ice and caught a mountain of fish. That was survival lesson one. Survival lesson number two was when he took his sister for a joy ride up to Stewart. Suddenly, there was no division you could see between the mountain and the sky. Hank said blithely, “I think we have a white-out. I can’t fly over the mountain into the Portland Canal. We may have to go to Alice Arm for some gas.” Trying not to sound hysterical, I cried out, “What do we do now?” “Don’t worry, Syl,” he yelled, “There are lots of trees.” Trees? That was the most comforting statement I’d heard in a lifetime. Little did I know that one day I would take a survival course my-

GUEST COMMENT

Sylvia Sands Johnson self, and the instructor emphasized, “Never go into the woods without a tube of Fire Starter.” Even with the tube of Fire Starter, I wound up sleeping on branches, and put the fire too far away. I woke up freezing, had to make a fire and some hot coffee. Back in the present, Hank asked me what my immediate reaction was to first reading his book. I told him, “I thought it was very funny, but when I got to the

end of it, I wanted to cry. You should have mailed a ‘hanky’ with it. (That was my idea of a pun). He replied, “I was hoping you’d say that.” When I read how many times he’d nearly wiped out in blowing snow, and I mean right off this Earth, I was shocked. I didn’t realize helicopters were so fragile. To understand Hank’s sense of humor, you have to know that one Christmas at home he came out, wearing a rather short dressing gown, pretending to puff on a stogie. With this rather benign expression, he pointed to his legs and said, “I lost the first girl I had a crush on because she said my legs were too hairy.” Then there was another Christmas when Hank made a film of his whole family imitating the way he coughed. To explain why Wolf’s Moon brought me to tears, who wants to read about their brother laughing about how his helicopter nearly blew up, or went down, every third page? What is it with these fragile birds, and the men who have the courage to fly them? I have to

say that one of my favourite parts is when Hank took a biologist up to Wood Buffalo National Park, to rescue whooping crane eggs because it seems that whooping cranes only have two eggs, and one usually doesn’t make it. But by taking the spare egg, it can be saved and later returned to the park, and one more crane saved. Hank did everything from firefighting to rounding up buffalo, to transporting prospectors. There’s something about the name, Bugaboo Mountains, that leaves little to the imagination. I think he hit a branch there, went down, and wound up joking all night with a prospector he had on board. I also like the suggestion of a romance in the book, even one that didn’t quite make it. The helicopter ‘life’ just about cost him his hearing, so they couldn’t have worn proper ear protection in the earlier days of flying. But just as our father was deemed one of the best poets on Vancouver Island, he would, if alive today, be so proud of Hank’s book Wolf’s Moon. Sylvia Sands Johnson lives in Rosswood, BC.

A new broom would not suffice and when a shovel was brought in it was still inadequate. It was not the person to do the clean up, it was the enormity of the task. More recent, and on the provincial scene, was the manure left by Vander Zalm. This little mess was left for Rita Johnson to

Remember, if you are a novice driver, no amount of alcohol can be present in your body! Friends don’t let friends drive drunk! It doesn’t take much alcohol to impair your driving: Just because you’ve only had a couple of drinks doesn’t mean you’re okay to drive.

B.C.’s drinking-driving laws are tough on impaired drivers

250.638.8830 4740 Lakelse Ave, Terrace

In the ﬁrst year since B.C.’s tougher drinking-driving penalties took effect (in September 2010), alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths have been reduced by 40 per cent. Police in B.C. can issue an immediate roadside prohibition to an impaired driver with a blood-alcohol content (BAC) of .05 or higher. (The BAC is based on a breath sample into a roadside screening device.) The vehicle the person is driving can also be immediately taken off the road and impounded for three to 30 days. Costs related to these offences can add up to an estimated $600 to $4,060— even if it’s the ﬁrst time a driver is caught.

A CONFERENCE and art show this week is focussing on using natural resources to create art. A keynote speaker at Beyond Lumber will be Alano Edzerza, a Tahltan artist who runs a gallery in Vancouver and who has his own line of sportswear featuring northcoast art. “Sometimes a single tree is worth much more when it is used to produce high quality art than when it is milled for lumber,” says Rick Brouwer from the Skeena-Nass Centre of Innovation in Resource Economics (SNCIRE) which is sponsoring the conference along with Northwest Community College. “By focusing on high value products such as art first and commodities second, we are taking better advantage of our natural resources, and that is key if our region wants to escape the boom and bust cycles.” SNCIRE has been at the forefront of efforts to encourage governments and companies to move past a traditional sawmill economy to use wood and resources in different ways. It’s encouraged governments and companies to think about bio-energy and has promoted the idea of increasing skills training in the region. Beyond Lumber takes place June 29 and June 30 at Northwest Community College.

TERRACE’S WOOD carver Ben Gerow shows off a piece of art made with the local natural resource, wood. Workshop topics include working with art galleries, marketing, photographing art objects and starting up a business. There’s a salmon barbecue the first night and an art show from 6-8 pm.

Resource dollars He’s not sure why, given the existing northeast Fair Share program, but says the city will keep pressing. “Lobbying is a delicate art,” said Pernarowski of the task of keeping the pressure on the provincial government. “You want to be careful. It’s a matter of timing. You want to have a reasonable and rational approach.” “We’ll need to find our moment and make a good business case,” the mayor added. Pernarowski said it was important to remember that any kind of revenue sharing program would bring in other northwest municipalities and not just Terrace. An idea of the kind of revenues the province might expect was provided by a press release

earlier this month announcing environmental approval for a run of river hydro-electric project to be built by Calgary-based AltaGas at McLymont Creek north of here. The project, valued at $217 million, is expected to produce $140 million in provincial and local taxes would be generated over a 40year lifespan, according to the press release. In an expected threeyear construction period for McLymont Creek alone, the provincial press release continued, $20 million in provincial revenues and $40 million in federal revenues are expected. Fort St. John will get the largest share — $16.638 million — of the $35.3 million in northeastern

Fair Share money this year and Dawson Creek is next at $10.9 million. The Fair Share total for 2012 is the largest yet in the 15-year life of the program which is scheduled to come to an end in 2020. The Liberal MLA for Peace River North, Ed Pimm, is quoted as telling northeastern local government representatives that the agreement will be renegotiated. “I know that [transportation] minister [Blair] Lekstrom and myself, as far as we’re concerned, this agreement is going to be in place. We’re going to keep the pressure on to keep this agreement in place and it’s an agreement that should be in place,” said Pimm.

Newsletter key to treaty info A MONTHLY newsletter is at the forefront of a local First Nation’s task of informing its members about the ins and outs of land claims treaties. The Canyon Current regularly provides information on specific aspects of what treaties contain and keeps Kitselas First Nation members aware of events and meetings pertaining to treaties. It all takes place from Hilary Zornow’s office just inside the Kitselas treaty and lands building on Queensway. The Kitselas communications director, Zornow solicits material and generates her own as the deadline for each issue of the Canyon Current approaches. “We’re engaged in getting information out to the community,” said Zornow of the Canyon Current’s role for the approximately 500 members of the Kitselas First Nation. Issues contain a mixture of information relating to treaties and articles on Kitselas First Nation activities and notes of interest to Kitselas members. Copies are mailed out, made available at offices within the Kitselas community and each issue is posted on the Kitselas First Nation’s website. The June issue, for example, contains a report of a community meeting featuring Herb

The topic of the meeting was, “Why Treaty: Settling the Land Question.” The community meeting was one of several to be sponsored by the Kitselas treaty office and covered in the Canyon Current. While separate in na-

ture, the meetings and the newsletter are part of what Zornow describes as a comprehensive effort to provide as much information as possible on treaty negotiations. That effort has gained more importance because both the Kitselas and the neighbouring Kitsumkalum are working toward having draft agreements in principle ready for debate within their communities this year.

Above, Logan Brais shows off his new shades and DARE t-shirt alongside Terrace RCMP Cst. Angela Rabut. DARE stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education and is sponsored here by the RCMP. Students learn methods for handling peer pressure surrounding drugs and alcohol.

Those agreements must be approved and must also be accepted by the federal and provincial governments to move on to final treaty negotiations. The communications plan extends beyond the Canyon Current and community meetings and a web site to include a Facebook page and a Twitter account. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone can join,â&#x20AC;? said Zornow of the Facebook account at http:// on.fb.me/kitselastreaty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a conscious decision we made. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of our philosophy to encourage free thinking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thinking out of the box.â&#x20AC;? The Kitselas treaty team has also hired a group of people to go door to door, presenting information and taking questions. Zornow admits thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fine line between providing information and bombarding people with information but says the complexities of treaty making require

making multiple efforts at communicating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a twoway street. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the community to engage in that process as well,â&#x20AC;? she said. That means accepting that people will oppose treaty negotiations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can be opposed but at least listen

to what we have to say, and be respectful,â&#x20AC;? Zornow adds. The need for the Canyon Current and subsequent communication methods was laid out in 2008 by Mel Bevan who for years has lead negotiations at Kitselas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He realized the

need to communicate information to the Kitselas membership,â&#x20AC;? said Zornow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried really hard to fulfill that mandate.â&#x20AC;? Zornow has been communications director for about 19 months, replacing Holly Spencer who went on maternity leave.

Damp shelter space needed THE KSAN House Society is looking for a new place to house homeless people during the coldest months of the year. After recent renovations a building behind the society’s main homeless shelter on Hall St., which was used as a “damp” shelter for the homeless who drink or use drugs, is not considered safe for employees and can’t hold as many people as it once did, said the society’s director of programs, Jan LeFrancois. So the society is looking elsewhere for space and without new quarters, LeFrancois says the service won’t be offered. “No space, no [shelter],” said LeFrancois. “There are a lot of homeless people that live in our community and surrounding areas that basically live off the land, but in the winter months would not

survive.” Because the damp shelter houses those who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, regular shelter programs which require sobriety would not work, she said. “If forced to quit, they could die,” said LeFrancois. “These people have burned all of their bridges for the most part, but that doesn’t make them disposable. They’re still human.” The old location has now been converted into offices for society workers, a meeting room has been set up and a community-use kitchen installed. Fire doors have also been installed and that makes it hard to keep an eye on activities, meaning there are worker safety issues, said LeFrancois. She said the society wants to use the space for southside community services, adding

that there’s a larger proportion of low-income families that live on the southside who lack the means to easily get to the northside of the city where the majority of the city’s social services are based. As well, having sober clients in the society’s regular homeless shelter mingle with those using the damp shelter doesn’t work, LeFrancois added. At the same time, damp shelter demand is increasing from 46 males and 13 females using it for a total of 490 times in 2008 to 100

males and 26 females using it 1,142 times in 2011. So far, the society hasn’t had much luck in finding a place. One drawback is that while the provincial BC Housing agency will pay for staff and basics, it won’t pay for rent. That means the space must be donated and it ideally should have a shower, washrooms, laundry and kitchen facilities and be able to hold at least 10 people in separate male and female sleeping areas. Cameras should be installed, too.

The damp shelter opens around Nov. 1 each year and closes the following spring thanks to a grant provided by the provincial government’s BC Housing agency. It finances a number of extreme weather shelters in BC. The city has already turned down a request by the society to use the basement of city hall. But city council has invited Ksan executive director Carol Sabo to provide more information about what’s needed in hopes someone else may step forward.

LIFE IN AN EXPLORATION CAMP A few weeks ago, Seabridge Gold opened its exploration camp at the company’s KSM Project, located 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart. The KSM camp is the base from which Seabridge conducts the seasonal onsite exploration, geotechnical, engineering and environmental work for its proposed gold, copper, silver and molybdenum mine. Seabridge has operated the camp for the past seven years; each year, the focus of the work is slightly different. This year, Seabridge is ¿nalizing its mine design plan and preparing to submit its environmental assessment and permit applications in November 2012, so camp and ¿eld activities are focused on supporting these objectives. Since mid-May, about 30 people have been living in camp. By the end of June, there will be approximately 50 people as different work projects ramp up. Most are employed by the technical experts and companies Seabridge has hired to help design and develop the proposed mine. “What I like most about my job is seeing new country and travelling to places few get to see.” – Tim Dodd, Geologist

If you’re a cook, you’re up at 4 a.m. getting breakfast ready for everyone. The rest of the camp residents are usually up by 6 a.m., with time to eat, pack a lunch and head out to catch the helicopter to work; many are back by 5 p.m., in time for supper. Tim Dodd is one of the project geologists working on the KSM Project. Project geologists typically work 12-hour days, with job duties that in include core logging, drill hole spotting, ssampling core, visiting drill rigs, mapping sa a and ¿eld work. “What I like most about m my job is seeing new country and travellin ling to places few get to see. I like the cchallenge and reward of deciphering the g geological puzzles of the earth that were ccreated over millions of years. And of co course I love working outdoors,” he sshares. Life in camp can be tough so Seabridge m makes the KSM camp as comfortable ibl by b providing things like internet access, as possible satellite radio and phone booths. This means that when people aren’t working, they have the option of connecting with their families, catching up on their emails and paper work, or just heading into the common areas to watch movies or play cards or chess. “After a long day working outdoors, it’s good to be able to come back to camp to good food, the chance to see what’s going on in the outside world, or just to chill out in a comfortable environment,” Tim adds.

Already this year, the camp has been home to geologists, drillers, mechanics, pad builders, pilots, cooks, carpenters, labourers, environmental scientists and technicians. These men and women come from across BC to live and work on the KSM Project, sometimes for a few weeks at a time, from places like Dease Lake, Hazelton, New Aiyansh, Prince Rupert, Smithers, Telegraph Creek, Terrace and Vancouver. With so many people, each with different roles and responsibilities, it’s hard to describe a typical day in camp because it really does depend on what you do.

Top cadets honoured at review RELATIVES, GUESTS and friends gathered outside the cadet hall at the airport June 10 for the annual review of the 747 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron. The official reviewing officer this year was Major Carrie Johnson from Victoria who has been involved with the air cadets for years. Awards were also presented at the review, which is the 47th one to be held since its formation in 1953. In a short speech, Maj. Johnson, who began her Royal Canadian Air Cadet career in Prince George in 1990, paid tribute to what she called “the northern spirit” and told cadets to hold on to that concept as they go about their lives. Johnson recalled memorable moments during her time with the cadets and said the key

one was “not only owning up to your mistakes but learning how to fix them.” Other speeches were given by Ilona Turra who represented the Air Cadet League, Mary Moran from the local sponsoring society which provides the financial and other support for the squadron here and by commanding officer Captain Florence Braam. The master of ceremonies was city councillor Brian Downie. The annual review may end official activities for the squadron for the year but it doesn’t end the involvement of individual cadets as 21 will be heading to various training programs this summer. Awards were given to LAC Josiah Bahr for being the best first year cadet, to Sgt. Lesley Green for best at-

District shufﬂes its administrators THE SCHOOL district is changing its school administrative structure to meet the changes its made to secondary school education in Terrace. It’s doing so by having two vice principals at Caledonia Senior Secondary and at the newly-created Skeena Middle School. Basing two vice principals at both schools reflects what will be an increase in their enrolment this fall because of the closure of Thornhill Junior Secondary and the transfer of its students into Terrace. The closure of Thornhill Junior is being accompanied by a shift in what grades are taught where. Grade 7 classes are being moved to Skeena Middle School , formerly Skeena Junior Secondary, which will then be a Grade 7-9 school instead of a Grade 8-10 school. Skeena’s Grade 10 classes are being moved

to Caledonia Senior Secondary. Cathy Kennedy is moving from her position as vice principal at Uplands Elementary to join Cory Killoran as a vice principal at Skeena and Jane Arbuckle is moving from the principalship at Thornhill Junior Secondary School to join Keith Axelson as a vice principal at Caledonia. School board chair Art Erasmus said the decision to place two vice principals at Cal and Skeena reflects the larger enrolments for both as of this fall and the change in the composition of each school’s student body. “Certainly we’ll have students adapting to new environments,” said Erasmus. Kennedy has experience with Grade 7 students who will be at Skeena while Arbuckle will be familiar to students coming into Caledonia from Thornhill, he said.

The school district is moving other school principals and vice principals as well. Darlene BraggHounsell, currently the principal of Cassie Hall Elementary School, is moving to assume the position of principal at Thornhill Primary School. She’s going to be replaced by Sheila Thorhaug who is now vice principal at Cassie Hall. Alison Campbell, the current principal of Thornhill Primary School, has been appointed vice principal

Art Erasmus of New Hazelton Elementary. Bill Lenuik, the vice principal of Thornhill Junior Secondary, is

to be the principal at Thornhill Elementary. He’ll replace Debbie Koehn who is leaving to become a consultant working on a literacy project that will involve Thornhill Elementary. Koehn was successful just recently securing a $56,000 grant which, over three years, will be used to buy books for Thornhill Elementary’s library. Carol Pickering will remain as principal at New Hazelton Elementary while assuming responsibilities for the coordination and delivery of learner support

services in the Hazeltons and Kitwanga. Principals staying put are Todd Hollett at Uplands Elementary, Cam MacKay at Caledonia, Maxine Champion at Ecole Mountainview, Pam Kawinksy at Suwilaawks and Phil Barron at Skeena. Roberta Clarke is staying on as vice principal at Suwilaawks while vice principals are being sought to fill vacancies at other schools. School chair Art Erasmus said vice principals fill a vital role in schools where they are

required. Uplands Elementary, for example, is the largest elementary school in the district and a vice principal there is needed to assist the principal, he said. About one-quarter of a vice principal’s time is meant to be spent in vice principal duties and the rest in the classroom. “Vice principals can take over when a principal isn’t there, they serve as someone the principal can confide in and they are also a training position as we consider succession plans,” said Erasmus.

DO YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE?

Grants received for playgrounds A NUMBER of northern schools are in line for either $50,000 or $25,000 provincial grants for new playgrounds. The grants conclude a two-year program in which $8 million was provided. Kitwanga Elementary in Kitwanga is to get $50,000. In the Nass Valley, Alvin A McKay Elementary in Greenville and Nathan Barton Elementary in Kincolith are each to get $50,000. Last year in Terrace Skeena Junior Secondary (which is to be renamed Skeena Middle School) received $50,000 for a new playground.

Arts festival taking hold here By Anna Killen IN CASE you haven’t noticed, Terrace is secretly teeming with artists. The walls of independent coffee shops and restaurants are filled with local artwork, public art is on the rise (think spirit bears, murals), and the art gallery – located underneath the public library – is home to smartly-curated group shows that include dozens of homegrown artists, And with the inaugural Terrace Summer Arts Festival opening this weekend, these artists are set to take the town centre by storm as they showcase Terrace’s unique cultural side with ten days of community events – art shows, workshops, concerts, you name it – free of charge. “People have been wanting to do this for a long, long time,” says Susann Williamson, secretary treasurer and project director for the Terrace District Arts Council (TDAC), who organized the event with the support of various community groups. “A lot of people are asking, why this year, and well, it’s that we have the people. We have a perfect storm of volunteers right now, we’ve got a lot of really dedicated people who have skills, know how to organize, plan, set up, with lots of background and experience.” “There are lots and lots of volunteers and people involved,” said Williamson, who said the number of volunteers could be as much as 70 people, if you include all of the artists. She and her core organizing group of six started planning the event in January and have been inundated with calls from people wanting to support, perform and volunteer ever since. The TDAC is an umbrella organization that in the past has typically been used to funnel money to their membership, formed of local artists, groups and projects. But its mandate has changed over the last year to include more promotional work involving the arts scene in Terrace – this means

more large-scale events and fund-raisers. “The BC Arts Council has said that arts councils in the province have to do more, not just hand out money and write cheques, but do more to promote arts in the province,” said Williamson. The group’s plan is to have an event for every season – a dinner and auction in the fall, a long weekend event on the new February family day holiday for winter, a studio tour in the spring and the arts festival in the summer. There’s a real demand for cultural events here in Terrace, says Williamson, noting that this year’s first spring studio tour, held on May long weekend, sold out very quickly “There’s been a real fresh attitude here” with artists of all stripes banding together to host new events, she says. Williamson, who has lived in Terrace for the past six years, is busy renovating a new studio and gallery space at

Skeena Landing. One of the highlights of the festival includes the opening gala at the art gallery on Friday night, which coincides with the opening of the gallery’s next monthly show, “Summer and Winter.” On Saturday nights there are concerts in the park featuring local musicians like the Terrace Community Band, Late Night on Air, and King Crow and the Ladies from Hell. Also taking place are daily workshops, a night market and fashion show, live painting in the park organized by local artist Matthew Daratha, and a familyoriented bike parade on the Monday. Williamson anticipates a large turnout, and is encouraging people to register for festival events to make sure they get a spot. The prospect of good summer weather will also help those who attend various events enjoy the efforts of festival volunteers.

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.

Only the trophies remain AS THORNHILL Junior Secondary School closes its doors to students for the last time this week, the question on many people’s lips is, ‘But what’s going to happen to all of the stuff?’ For some items, like desks, chairs, textbooks and shop equipment, the answer is fairly simple – first, they will be offered to Skeena Middle School and Caledonia Senior Secondary to be used to furnish the portables just moved in to each location and to fill any equipment or supplies needs they may have. “The resources follow the students,” said Thornhill principal Jane Arbuckle, who has been watching trollies of textbooks get ready to roll out of Thornhill’s doors for weeks now. “Why would you pay for something you already have?” said Arbuckle of using items from her school to help out the ones remaining open. Once Skeena and Caledonia claim their picks, what’s left will be offered to the other schools in the district. After that, they’ll go to public auction – a process that can take about a year – or be placed into storage for future use. One tradition that ends with the closing of Thornhill’s doors, and that won’t be able to be placed into storage for future use, are the colourful ceiling tile covers peppered throughout the school created by past graduates. Arbuckle has entertained a small number of requests from former students to collect their tiles – she says they have special, sentimental meaning to some former students. ‘“As far as banners and trophies go, we hope the gym will stay open. We haven’t made any final decisions,” said Arbuckle. “We’re not wanting to remove anything like that because we hope the building will still be used.”

ANNA KILLEN PHOTO

THORNHILL PRINCIPAL Jane Arbuckle stands in front of the school’s trophy case. She has been principal at the school for the past four years, but says she’d been trying to get a job at the beloved school “for at least fifteen.” “It’s a beautiful gym,” she said, adding that the banners and trophies make up “the history of the building.” “There’s no protocol for closing a school,” she continued of the decision brought on by declining school enrollments. But what happens to the banners

and trophies isn’t up to the community – the building is owned by the school district, and unless they find a group (or groups) willing to incur the costs of operating the building, the school will remain dark. “It’s not cheap to run that building,” said John Garossino, director of facilities for the Coast Moun-

tains school district. “We’re talking $50-$60,000 a year just for energy.” Maintenance, snow removal and custodial costs would be on top of that. “But we are open for proposals,” said Garossino. “We would look at any proposal in which there is a body, a group, who would car-

ry insurance, use the building, and cover the costs.” At this time, there is no agreement – just preliminary talks between the Kitimat-Stikine regional district and Terrace parks and recreation to discuss options.

Group will provide instruments if needed ELEMENTARY SCHOOL students who can’t afford band instruments will have them provided by a local non-profit foundation starting this fall. It’s one of the key points in the school board’s decision to continue band instruction in the district’s elementary schools. Those instruments will be provided by the Dare to Dream Foundation, which was initially founded more than a decade ago to pay for elementary school band instruction after the district decided to chop

the program to save money. The district has since offered elementary band again and Dare to Dream now finances specific elementary band events. Dare to Dream member George Clark said providing instruments to students will be done in situations where the student’s family cannot afford to do so. “We would work closely with the music teachers,” said Clark. “No child who wants to play will do without.” There had been worries el-

ementary band might again be eliminated following the decision to move Grade 7 out of elementary schools as part of the move to convert Skeena Junior Secondary to a Grade 7-9 middle school. The move leaves just Grade 6 as the one grade in elementary schools were band is taught. School district chair Art Erasmus says there’s no question band will continue. “I can tell you that band will be offered again,” said Erasmus about programs at Suwilaawks, Uplands,

Ecole Mountainview, Cassie Hall and Thornhill Elementary. Unlike more senior grades, elementary grade level students in one class aren’t normally split off to go to different activities. But in this case, Grade 6 students not taking band will have instruction in another field by another teacher, said Erasmus. “Is that an extra cost? Yes. But there was an extra cost before,” said Erasmus of providing for nonband students when band students were practising.

Clark said Dare to Dream would, depending upon the situation, extend its offer of providing instruments to students moving from Grade 6 elementary band to the Skeena Middle School. “There is a Terrace-Thornhill band parents association for beyond elementary and I think we would be willing to work with them,” he said. “I don’t think anyone would want to see a situation where a student wouldn’t be able to have an instrument where there’s a need.”

’d already been inspired to write about corner stores — favourites from my past, why I think they’re such an important part of a community, etc. — when a friend mentioned that her son’s current career dream is to open a corner store. I guess I’m not the only one who romanticizes those little independent shops! The treasured store of my childhood was a cramped, tiny place on the corner of Kalum and Loen, with age slanted walls and a slightly sunken, uneven floor, called Sandy’s. It was the place of dreams. A little bell (or string of bells?) tinkled when you opened the old-fashioned door, announcing your entry. The left hand wall was rainbow bright with rows of chocolate bars, Hubba Bubba, Big League Chew, Fun Dips, Popeye candy cigarettes, Gobstoppers, a big bucket of Dubble Bubble gums (You know, the ones with jokes inside their wrappers!), another of lollies, and tubs and tubs of penny candies. A glass topped freezer chest showed off Jumbo Freezies, just 15 cents each! There were also — delight of delights — foil packs of Mad Magazine stickers. Like so many adventures, the corner store was not without its dragon. The woman who ran it had fabulous dark hair with a white streak, a small mole, and a personality like the Queen from Snow White. Though my adult brain tells me this was probably not intentional, she terrified me. The root of my irrational fear? Her legendary temper. One day, pennies sweating in my hand, I was admiring

JUST A THOUGHT

EV BISHOP

Cornered the treats, deliberating about what to splurge on. (It was a huge decision because having funds was a great feat.) As I studied, I became aware of how sticky my coins were, so I dropped them into my pocket, planning to let them dry until it was time to buy. Like an eagle on an unsuspecting mouse, the woman swooped down, grabbed my shoulder in her talons, and berated me for being a thief. I was flabbergasted. I hadn’t stole. I wouldn’t! I managed to convince her (since my pocket only held money) and I lived to shop another day. The next time I shopped, she’d apparently forgotten the incident that still burned in my memory. I got my candy carefully, approached the counter with trepidation, and proceeded to count out

my money. Tongue-tied and nervous, I miscounted (error in HER favour, I have to point out) and suddenly she was yelling again. “If you’re too young to count, you’re too young to come into this store!” Well, that was worse than being accused of stealing. I was nine. I counted perfectly well, thank you very much, except when I was scared out of my mind! In Grade 8, I moved out of the horseshoe and for three years, Thornhill Grocery (now the Thornhill Meat Market) was the place for me and my friends’ ketchup chips, taters, green apple, and small containers of white milk cravings. I still have to buy taters there occasionally for old time’s sake. As a young married who worked evenings, I loved the Coppersides for late night groceries. My children’s special corner store wasn’t on a corner at all — good old Wayside Grocery on Tetrault. My kids adored the “green tin roof store” for its huge ice-cream cones. Sadly, it’s long closed down — so thank goodness Chill opened up. The Southside has another fun one, too — the Kawrner Store on Haugland and Kalum. It even has a Filipino food stand. To this day I don’t know if what I appreciate most about corner stores is how they contribute to keeping neighbourhoods unique and vibrant, or how they’re a link to my childhood self and the adventure and fun a trek to the store always was. Let’s call it a tie: I like how they connect me to my community and feed memories. Corner stores are just fun!

Thornhill Jr. alumni say goodbye “It was a necessary decision to close, the board believes,” Garossino said. “But it’s still a community asset.” But he said the school board’s position is clear that it would rather spend money on education than on buildings. “We don’t want to spend education dollars on the building,” he said. Wanting to keep the banners and trophies up, is an “admirable position,” said Garossino. But in his experience, “with all of the schools we’ve closed, it usually gets boxed up and put into archives.” “But lets just take one step at a time,” he said. Ultimately, he thinks the utilization of the building will be resolved. “Between [Terrace] parks and rec, the regional district, the community groups, they might be able to raise a substantial amount to run parts of the building,” he said. Community groups use the gym regularly, including badminton and archery clubs, indoor volleyball and soccer leagues. The foyer attached to the gym is also used as a local polling station. “I hate to think of where all of those groups are going to go in the fall,” said Arbuckle. This past Friday, June 22, Thornhill hosted one last event, what Arbuckle called an open house to close the house. There was food, live music, old yearbook photos decorating the walls, and alumni had the opportunity to purchase school-branded clothing and merchandise from the past 37 years.

Shogun stars get ready for worlds THE TERRACE Shogun Dojo continues to shine on the big stage, with sensei Amber Pipe and newcomer Shayla McKay recently qualifying for team Canada at the World Kickboxing/Karate Council Nationals. The two women, along with veteran member Rajan Sangha, travelled to Quebec at the end of May for the event. Both girls placed third in their respective kickboxing divisions, meaning they will travel back to Quebec in the fall to represent team Canada at the world championships. This year’s national event, held in SaintHyacinthe, a city outside of Montreal, was one of the largest tournaments Pipe had ever been to. “There were seven or eight people to a competition,” she said. “It was good all around, heavy competition.” Pipe attributes the large turnout to the fact that this year’s worlds are being held in Canada. Last year’s world event was held in Spain. Both women admit they weren’t at their top shape for the matches in Montreal — Pipe fought despite having a broken rib, and McKay was battling sickness all weekend — but neither were ready to give up. “It was just eat, sleep, competition,” McKay said. Although, the group did spend a day afterwards in downtown Montreal, shopping, walking around and celebrating. “It’s the most fun place I’ve ever been,” said McKay. This was McKay’s first national tournament ever — an orange belt, she has only been practicing kickboxing and karate since March of last year, and had only been to two competitions before heading east, one in Williams Lake and the other in Edmonton. “The Edmonton tournament was actual-

ly really big,” McKay said, who took home two golds at the tournament. “I’m really glad it went.” “Two of the girls I fought against [in Montreal] had twenty years experience — I’ve only had one,” she said. “It was really scary, but fun. There were a lot of people.” McKay got into karate and kickboxing while competing in Parkside’s Biggest Loser challenge. As she began to lose weight, she says she became more dedicated and joined karate and kickboxing under her mentor, Pipe, who is also a counsellor at Parkside. “Karate teaches you discipline,” McKay said. “It’s good for kids.” And McKay’s discipline paid off — she eventually won her school’s challenge, and to date has lost over 80 pounds. “She’s come a long way,” said Pipe, who has known McKay since she was a young girl. “It just amazes me and makes me so proud. She’s like the daughter I wish I had.” The pair have an intense summer of training ahead of them to prepare for world’s in October. If they keep it up, Pipe said, they’ll definitely be good to go to worlds. Right now, McKay’s weekly regimen includes a minimum of three early morning workouts starting at 5:30 a.m., and night classes when she’s not working, about ten hours a week. She’s also started leading kick-bo classes. “She’s an awesome instructor,” said Pipe. McKay said karate and kickboxing will be a part of her life for a very long time. “I’m thinking of being a fitness instructor or a nutritionist, but I just graduated last week, so I have some time to make up my mind.”

Boating begins DRAGON BOAT season has started, with four senior Terrace women from the Lakelse Dragon Boat society joining Zone 5’s “Paddling Peaches” crew for the BC Senior Games competition in Burnaby at the end of August. “We’re excited to be taking part of this event, as it will be our first time at the Senior Games,” said crew member Carole Marcellin. The LDBS is looking forward to a number of regattas and events this summer, including the Kitimat Dragon Boat Festival on July 7, a Get Dragon Boating event during Riverdays and the club’s 7th annual Lakelse Dragon Boat Regatta on September 8 at Furlong Bay, Lakelse Lake.

ustin Kovacvich sat on the West Working Group of the Quality Waters process as a representative of the local guiding industry. As a member of the Skeena Angling Guides Association, an experienced guide, a member of the Terrace Rod and Gun Club, the CEO of Nicholas Dean Guiding, and an excellent angler, he certainly deserved a prominent place in that process. When I first met Dustin, he was kid, - a young man, actually - fresh out of forestry school, with a passion for fish and fishing he’d acquired growing up in the Kootenays. He and his friend, Tim Lepp, the fanatical fishing son of a local orthodontist, formed a partnership and began making rough hewn but delightful videos of their wilderness angling outings that would have made excellent reality TV. Dustin and Tim’s videos didn’t have the tension and drama of, say, the series that shows hard bitten Alaskan crab fishers risking life and limb on the vicious seas of the North Pacific to make their boat payments, but they featured a kind of ingenuous delight in the outdoors that appealed to the fisher kid in all of us. After his foray into show biz, Dustin acquired Noel Gyger’s guiding operation, hired an executive assistant, two of the best salmon guides you’ll find anywhere, and today he runs a top notch guiding outfit.

CYCLISTS PARTICIPATED in the 27th annual Tour de Smithers on June 17.

Terrace riders tour in Smithers THE 27TH annual Tour de Smithers got off to a rainy start the weekend of June 17th, but cleared up by the end of the second lap. “Everyone got pretty muddy,” said rider Vincent Drouin, who finished first for the full 66 kilometre stretch. Thirteen cyclists participated in total, taking three 22 kilometre loops around Tyhee Lake. Terrace was well represent-

ed at the event, with Drouin, Willie Muller, Ernie Hidber, Andrew Simpson, Dan Fisher, Michael Bruce, and Ron Haws making the trek to Smithers. Usual Terrace standout Muller experienced a flat tire and did not finish the race. The event was organized by Smithers’ McBike owner Peter Krause. “Peter is a very respected cyclist in this neck of the woods,” said cyclist Michael

Bruce. The extremely tight race saw participants finishing within minutes of each other. The results, also posted at McBike in Smithers, are as follows: 44km race: 1. Karla Ivany (F) 1:40:45 66km race: 1. Vince Drouin 1:58:04 2. Peter Krause 1:58:06 3. Ronnie Haws 1:58:08 4. James Woodworth 1:58:10

therefore offered an opportunity for growth in the industry. The burning question was how many days should be allocated without compromising the quality of the angling for all users. To determine this fairly, the committee needed to know the carrying capacity of that part of the river, that is, just how many anglers could fish the river before it became crowded. Since the ministry hadn’t determined this benchmark prior to the process – as they had before enjoying a similar process in the Kootenays – no one on the committee had a clear idea of what crowding on Skeena 4 looked like. Complicating the deliberations was the fact that what constitutes a crowd varies according to context. Three anglers on a small pool in the upper Copper fishing over holding fish is a crowd. The same three fishers on half a kilometre of bar fishing over migrating salmon isn’t. In the absence of data, Dustin prowled Skeena 4 at the height of the season in his jet boat, identifying promising fishing sites and taking pictures of them. He created a database and came armed to the committee, which in the end agreed to far fewer days than he proposed as viable. In retrospect, I feel Dustin’s proposals were fair and would in no way have diminished the angling quality on the part of the Skeena drainage I have fished as much as anyone over the last 35 years.
