Moly miners are optimistic THE PRESIDENT of the company that wants to open a molybdenum mine north of here remains confident it will receive environmental approval. But Craig Nelsen of Avanti Mining, who once hoped approval for its Kitsault mine plan wouldn’t take the full assessment period of 180 days, now says it will take that long. “It’s just the kind of process that’s at work here,” said Nelsen of the review which began at the end of April. “There are simply a lot of steps that have to be done. But I think we are clearly on track.” Avanti’s mine plans indicate there’s enough molybdenum for an operating life approaching 17 years based on a development cost of approximately $800 million. Molybdenum has a number of uses, including as a hardening agent in steel alloys. Nelsen and other Avanti officials have been holding public meetings in the area. The list includes sessions in the Nass Valley, as part of the assessment process. There’s road access to Kitsault north from the Nass Valley and the location is 200 kilometres by road from Terrace. Avanti officials have also been meeting with assessment officials, other government officials and First Nations representatives to go over details of the project. One of Avanti’s more immediate tasks is winnowing down an application of more than 8,000 pages to a core document of up to 80 pages, said Nelsen. “It’s robust, but not without questions,”
said Nelsen of the application. The shorter document will contain what Nelsen calls a series of commitments leading to a project that can then receive environmental certification. Two of those commitments will revolve around water quality at the mine site and the transportation route to be taken by trucks carrying ore concentrate. “We’re committed to having no effect on the water quality,” said Nelsen. “We want our project to be a reflection of the baseline conditions that are there right now.” Protection of water also figures into Avanti’s discussions with the Nisga’a of the Nass Valley to secure broad approval, usually called a social license, for the project. While not within the Nisga’a Nation lands, the Kitsault area is part of the Nisga’a traditional territory. “People are skeptical but at the same time they are pragmatic about the opportunities, mainly for their children,” said Nelsen of responses from the Nisga’a at meetings held in the Nass Valley. Some of the Nisga’a skepticism is rooted in previous molybdenum mining projects in Kitsault, the last one being in the early 1980s. Avanti, in its environmental approval filings now being reviewed, has outlined plans for local training and hiring for a construction workforce and then for an operating workforce.

THE PROVINCE is spending $260,000 to help clean up two local properties affected by industrial or commercial use. The grants come from a provincial program aimed at ridding properties of pollutants so they can become usable again. Privately-owned NSD Development Corporation is getting $165,042.43 to continue determining what’s in the ground on property west of Kenney and bounded by Keith to the south and CN’s rail tracks to the north. It once acted as the log yard for a sawmill, since dismantled, that was east of Kenney toward the Sande Overpass, but had other industrial uses as well. The land has now been renamed the
North Coast Industrial Park and NSD Developments did obtain a development permit from the city for a portion of the property it had cleared near a rail spur this spring. The spur is located near Blakeburn Ave. But initial development plans were halted when a site investigation determined that burning of waste wood there over the years was a cause for concern. “They had a diesel-powered sawmill and fuel and tanks but no record of what they did with that stuff,” said city planner David Block of material and equipment once at the location.

Pilots recognized for efforts at crash By Anna Killen TWO pilots have been given an award for their work at a fatal helicopter crash near Sleeping Beauty Mountain last month. The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) in Victoria issued the award to White River Helicopters, singling out Kief Khanlarian and Andy Ramsay, who first found the wreckage. The JRCC’s award program acknowledges the contribution of volunteers and the general public who go above and beyond to assist in an emergency air or marine situation. The awards, given out a couple of times a year, are issued based on advice from the coordinators who run the cases. “The gentlemen of White River Helicopters certainly went above and beyond on the 1st of June,� said Major James Pierotti, officer in charge of the JRCC. “While all we can provide is a piece of paper, we hope they find pride in the sincere words from all of our coordinators here who greatly appreciated their assistance during the prosecution of this tragic accident.� The cause of the crash is still undetermined. Three men, 44-year-old Peter Bryant of Terrace, 48-year-old Blake Erickson of Sicamous, BC and 44-year-old Arnaud Jolibois of Banff, Alberta, were killed June 1 when their helicopter, belonging to Bailey Helicopters, went down while on a training flight. The weather was poor the day in the location of the crash. “We just did what we thought needed to be done,� said Khanlarian, admitting it feels strange to get an award for someone’s misfortune. “But nobody’s adverse to being told they’ve done a good job.� Khanlarian, originally from a coastal town in Devon, England, moved to Terrace in February last year. This is his first season with White River Helicopters. He served with the British Army for 24

WHITE RIVER Helicopters pilot Kief Khanlarian holds an award in recognition of the actions he and fellow pilot Andy Ramsay undertook following a fatal crash near here June 1. years, where he trained to be a pilot and gained a number of first-responder skills. It was Khanlarian’s day off when the crash took place. He was at home gardening when he got the call from Ramsay, who was on duty. The emergency locator transmitter of the helicopter belonging Bailey had gone off and the company called White River. Based on the coordinates from the transmitter, White River’s headquarters was five minutes by air from the immediate vicinity of Sleeping Beauty Mountain. The two flew over
the area in question and saw nothing, so they extended their search. After 45 minutes, the two pilots found the wreckage. “Finding a crash is infrequent,� said Khanlarian. “Transmitters going off is usually not a crash. Usually someone’s knocked a button or a wire is loose. You don’t expect to find a crash, you expect to find someone sitting there, embarrassed.� Ramsay dropped Khanlarian off to investigate, who then walked 10 to 15 minutes up the mountain. He approached the site and began speaking to the passengers as per CPR training.
But “there was nothing more I could do,� he said. He then found a suitable base camp and prepared the area for the RCMP, armed forces search and rescue personnel, local search and rescue volunteers and an avalanche technician who would later arrive. Meanwhile, the investigation by the federal Transportation Safety Board into the reasons for the crash continue. Parts of the A-Star 350, manufactured in Europe, have been sent to France for testing because the safety board doesn’t have the facilities or equipment to do it in Canada, said investigator Glen Friesen.

Airport numbers keep climbing PA S S E N G E R STATISTICS at the airport hit a new high for June. While lower than this past May, June’s total came to 11,795 passengers, up from 10,404 in June 2011 at the Northwest Regional Airport. Carman Hendry That tops the last high number for June in 2007 of 10,824. The total number of passengers that came through the airport this year was 64,548, already higher than the January to June 2011 total of 54,529. “Our fiscal year is April through March. We are already up 18 per cent for this year over last year,� said Carman Hendry, airport manager. He attributed that to “just the pickup in the industry in the region with Kitimat’s activities and the Northwest Transmission Line.� Usually, June and July are down compared to the other months so this year is definitely an anomaly, said Hendry. He said the total passenger numbers for 2012 are expected to hit 125,000. There are no more plans for expansion of facilities but the airport may repair the longterm parking lot pavement, which is a bit worn, said Hendry. Meanwhile, the airport that serves Prince Rupert and area also reported an increase, albeit a more moderate one. To the end of June, 28,746 passengers made their way through the airport there, compared to 27,988 passengers in the first six months of 2011.
By Samantha Garvey ROBERT Broome knows never to quit. It wasn’t until his fifth year entering wine competitions that he finally took home gold. After sipping through nearly 5,000 entries for 965 hours, the judges declared his Specialty Select Cream Sherry one of approximately 200 gold medal winners in the Winemaker International Amateur Competition for 2012. At last year’s competition, which receives entries from seven countries, he took home a silver and a bronze for two of his many recipes produced on the premises of his Wine N Suds Lazelle Ave. business in downtown Terrace. The year before that, he won one bronze. “The reason I enter competitions is not to win medals,� Broome said. “It’s to get the judges’ comments.� Every time he receives feedback, he works to improve his product. “There’s nothing unique about it,� he said of his now perfected award-winning cream sherry. “That’s the key. It has to follow a certain profile.� Broome hasn’t always been in the winemaking business. Years ago, truck driving was his means to brew beer and wine as a hobby. “I was injured doing the high-paying job, so I had to find something else.� His second career is thriving. “Economic times haven’t been good here, but if you put out a good product and service your customers, they’ll come back to you,� he said. Broome said he doesn’t have a wine suggestion for newcomers, but he would instead find out about their tastes. “Everybody’s got an individual flavour.�

Train sidings lengthened for higher volume of trafďŹ c CN IS lengthening sidings east of Terrace and between Terrace and Prince Rupert to better handle a growing volume of traffic tied to freight leaving and arriving at the Prince Rupert port. The company is lengthening five sidings between Edmonton and Prince Rupert this year as part of a $155 million capital expenditure program begun in 2004 to recognize the port’s impact on freight. CN says that it moved half a million carloads and container units over its northern line in 2011 and expects this to nearly double by 2015. CN’s ideal sidings are now 12,000 feet long, allowing the company to better manage the traffic flow of its trains, which are the same length. “Some of our sidings are now 6,000 feet and they need to be extended to accommodate our longer trains,â€? said CN spokesman Mark Hallman of the work. CN has extended or constructed 21 sidings to handle 12,000-foot trains between Edmonton and Prince Rupert since 2004.
This is in addition to a yard expansion in Terrace, a yard expansion in Smithers and new signaling and train control and several tunnel and bridge clearances elsewhere. Further siding expansions are planned in the years ahead. The siding east of Terrace is near Cedarvale and the siding between Terrace and Prince Rupert is at Exstew. CN also has its eyes on a growing coal export business using the Ridley Island facilities as a reason for improving the capability of its north line. CN’s longer trains use what the company calls distributed power technology, a technique involving placing locomotives throughout the train’s length. These locomotives are controlled by the lead locomotive and provide faster, smoother train starts, improved braking and lower pulling forces at the head-end of a train, and improved safety, says CN. The company says the technique reduces fuel consumption and, consequently, emissions.

Local agencies want the province to drive a stake through family violence By Lauren Benn
C
pl. John Hughes pulls up to the driveway of a home in Thornhill. A man, just released from jail the day before, was reported to have been beating the mother of his child. The child is home. Alongside a social worker and other officers from the Terrace RCMP detachment, Hughes walks to the front door. The goal is to make sure the child is okay and that everyone inside is safe. It’s one of the highest risk calls local RCMP receive. Domestic violence calls involve high-running emotions and can escalate unpredictably. On this particular day, no violence was happening upon RCMP arrival and the child was determined to be okay. But this is not always the case. In fact, even if violence is happening, it can be hard for charges to be laid later on. Family violence is difficult to prevent and to prosecute because there are often dependencies between victims and their abusers that keep victims from giving evidence, explained inspector Dana Hart, head of the Terrace RCMP detachment. And given the high numbers of family-violence related calls local police get, and how few of the circumstances result in charges being laid, the Terrace RCMP and city council are looking to the province to help bring those numbers down. In 2010 here, there were 466 domestic violence calls with 107 charge recommendations sent to provincial crown counsel prosecutors. In B.C., RCMP officers send recommendation to crown counsel lawyers and it is they who decide if formal charges will be sworn. It means not every recommendation forwarded results in charges laid; not every one results in a conviction. Domestic violence calls dropped in 2011 to 356 but more charge recommendations, 199, were sent onward. “It’s more than one a day,” said Hart of domestic violence calls. Of the calls received in 2011, 145 were reported as a domestic assault, 14 as domestic threatening and 197 were termed a domestic dispute in progress. With the number of calls coming in, Hart says it’s only a matter of time before an incident here results in someone’s death, adding the last domestic violence related death was 10 years ago. “Although we did have a family violence homicide in 2008,” said Hart about a mother stabbed by her son here. In March of 2002, Charles Lorne was beaten to death. His girlfriend and her son were charged with the murder, however, only Shawn Walker was convicted, Hart added. While preventing situations like these are an obvious priority, said Hart, pointing to domestic violence reduction as one of the local RCMP’s top priorities for 2012, there are limitations in dealing with the issue under the Criminal Code of Canada. It’s because the criminal code deals with crimes that have happened and those require evidence in order to prosecute those accused of committing the crime. This was the case in 2011 in about 150 of family violence calls, said Hart. Getting evidence from victims of family violence involves a web of challenges, Hart continued. “Lots of the time the victim is financially
or emotionally dependent on their abuser,” said Hart. But there is something on a provincial level that can help. “We don’t have anything that actually addresses what kind of support you can give to a victim to ... protect the financial and emotional well-being of the victim long enough for them to take the necessary steps,” he said, pointing to other provinces and territories that have legislation for that purpose. Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, P.E.I., Newfoundland, Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut each do. The specifics vary. But, at base level, domestic violence legislation provides civil remedies for victims and provides a framework for police training in how to implement those remedies. The legislation itself would enable the victim to get financial support through the court system after an incident, regardless of whether or not a charge arises, said Hart. The intent is to prevent a victim from immediately having to choose between losing a home and finances or protection for children or pets. It would also allow for a cooling off period by buying the victim separation time to receive information and advice on further options that are available. “Courts could grant a victim exclusive occupation of a home or car,” Hart said, adding that it would differ case by case. “Courts could restrain the perpetrators from contacting the victim or their families. “It’s intended to supplement protections in the criminal code,” he said, adding that either the victim could apply or RCMP could on behalf of the victim and then the order would need approval from a Justice of the Peace. “Without supplemental legislation, there are a number of issues left unaddressed,” said Hart. Based on his past experiences working in provinces with this type of legislation, Hart said it is an effective tool for helping break the cycle of dependency. He said the amount of time for orders varies, but estimated 30 days as an average. “It gives that time to break free from control,” Hart continued. But putting legislation into action would first require RCMP attending an incident to assess who the primary aggressor is, which Hart says would require more detailed training for officers. Determining who is the victim and who is the perpetrator can go much deeper than what appears on the scene of a situation. Sometimes both parties have inflicted violence on one another. “It is not just men,” noted Hart when talking about primary aggressors, adding that police would need better training to determine who is the primary victim and who is the primary perpetrator. Current domestic violence training for RCMP in B.C. involves an online course. Hart says he would like to see training come with more information and in a group setting instead. Terrace city council agrees legislation is a good idea. “It’s not just that simple when your choice is to leave and you’re out on the street,” said councillor James Cordeiro. Recently, council added a late addition to the lineup of resolutions to be debated

and then voted upon at this fall’s Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention. The intent is to seek support from other municipalities in petitioning the province to create appropriate legislation. This move falls in line with an office recently created by the provincial government. “The Provincial Office of Domestic Violence is undertaking a complete analysis of the current range, geographical distribution and functioning of domestic violence policies, programs and services across the province.” said an official for the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development in an email. “As part of this work, the office has been engaging with stakeholders and communities to listen to concerns and ideas that will, in turn, help improve the way domestic violence services are delivered.” While legislation could act as one tool to help stop the cycle, it is far from the only one needed. “There are way more factors that are contributing to the cycle,” said Kirsten Kirkaldy, manager of Terrace’s transition house for women. Pointing to providing evidence against a loved one, or even leaving an abusive relationship, Kirkaldy said it’s not as cut and dry as just giving time, money and space. “There’s a larger percentage of people
that aren’t willing to go down that road than those who are willing,” she said. Part of that reason is due to systemic issues such as the long periods between an incident, setting of court dates and eventual prosecution in a courtroom. Kirkaldy says there are also social and psychological factors that contribute to the cycle, which require support. “I don’t think putting legislation in place will be a quick fix,” she said, adding that services women use in coming to the transition house in times of crises are vital to helping break the cycle, and also in making a plan to keep safe. Kirkaldy counsels women regularly who come to the transition house as a way to get away from an abusive relationship. “Nine out of ten (times), they go right back,” she said. “A lot of them know they’re not going to leave him for good, but they do need to get away for a bit.” Each time a woman comes, they get a bit of help. The hope is, over time and through empowerment, they’ll make a choice for themselves. Kirkaldy also pointed to a lack of services available here and flaws in the system to help throughout various stages of the cycle, These will be explored in the second part of this series next week.

Fill ‘er up THE MODEST drop, as of July 1, in natural gas rates for northwest residents because of the decline in the cost of gas itself is good news. But gas bills here remain the highest in the province because of the cost of delivering the product. As of July 1, that cost is $11.478 a gigajoule vs. $4.74 a gigajoule in the Lower Mainland, a not inconsiderable gap. What is going to help is the construction of the smallest of the planned liquefied natural gas plants in the Kitimat area. Commonly called BC LNG Export Cooperative, this project involves parking a barge containing LNG facilities offshore to produce one LNG tanker worth of product a month. The gas for this plant will flow through an existing pipeline belonging to Pacific Northern Gas (PNG). There’s room in this pipeline because PNG’s traditional industrial base has all but disappeared (the woods industry, the ethanol-producing Methanex plant at Kitimat are a few examples). That’s left the rest of us to shoulder the cost of maintaining PNG’s underutilized pipeline. But a successful BC LNG Export Cooperative LNG barge project will fill the pipeline once more, providing PNG with the kind of revenues that will lower the delivery costs for its other northwest customers. Delivery rates may not fall to the lower mainland level but any reduction, under the watchful eye of the BC Utilities Commission, is welcome indeed. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Happy feet make for a happy life

s we age, comfortable feet and walking ease become important. We yearn to lose calluses from the soles of our feet and hard cracked skin from our heels. Each year stiffens hip and knee joints until cutting and filing our own toenails falls beyond our capabilities. Factor in failing eyesight, which even bifocals cannot completely remedy at that distance, and you end up dependent upon other people for a routine pedicure. Giving a safe pedicure to an elderly person demands experience and know-how. I’d wager that beyond podiatrists, few of us have this experience or training. We surely lack malpractice insurance. Many of the elderly have poor circulation in their lower extremities. Consequently, they take blood thinners to enhance circulation through their impaired blood vessels. This makes any nick or cut risky, not only for excessive bleeding but also for infection. Medical literature mentions at least one elder accidentally nicked during a ped-

Barring other ailments, a person who hobbles into the podiatrist’s office to have his calluses shaved can stride out minutes later, remarkably comfortable. A podiatrist will also properly trim the toenails including filing with an electric abrasive tool. Fitting shoes with highly resilient insoles to cushion the callus area from pressure at every step further restores activity. The podiatrist may advise regular application of Dermal Therapy Heel Care Cream to dry, cracked heel skin and to the pared areas to further slow the return of calluses. The cream is available over-thecounter at drugstores for a reasonable amount. Regular appointments with a podiatrist every three months or so for routine foot care are well worth the cost ... not covered by medical.

length of ordinary two- inch nail clippers is too short for the number of fingers needed to exert adequate pressure; it takes the three-inch size to do the job. (Also available is a more expensive and specialized pair of clippers that capture the nail clippings. Imagine ending the unpleasant surprise of stabbing your bare instep on the needle end of a nail clipping embedded in the bathmat.) The growth of calluses can be slowed by daily scrubbing with a pumice stone. Keep in mind the scrubbing should be short in duration, gentle, with a wet pumice applied to the callus only. Avoid rubbing the sensitive surrounding skin. Overdo the bounds once and you’ll remember next time; an unpleasant stinging follows. And again, there’s the risk of bleeding and infection. Pumice stones sold today are man-made from gritty material shaped into oval cakes like soap. My Mom’s pumice stone was natural gray rock, lumpy and odd shaped, with cavities I could fit a finger into, its material so fine, its surface felt smooth. Calluses are one of those

Do it right or go on home Dear Sir: There are millions of miles of pipeline in the world and more millions will be built. What I want to see is a clear commitment from the Enbridge board that it means to minimize the probability of a pipeline failure everywhere (yes, on existing pipelines, also) starting today, and 10, 20, or 50 years hence. This is to be included in a public statement by
the board. We want it to assure us that the boardapproved commitment will be fulfilled to the best of the directors’ ability. The Northern Gateway proposal is being reviewed by the Canadian National Energy Board and this board must understand we don’t want a pipeline that mirrors what’s contained in the US National Transportation Safety
Board report regarding the Kalamazoo River incident in Michigan. We who are voters want to let our politicians know that we’re leery of this Enbridge bunch. Recent reviews leave Enbridge with a tarnished even scary image. If they plan to build in my backyard then I want to see what I call an operations safety epiphany by the En-
bridge Board of Directors. If Enbridge is not prepared to make this type of full commitment then it should just go home. If our leaders still are convinced that we need the revenue from this pipeline then they should invite proposals from the pipeline industry at large and Enbridge can resubmit a proposal for evaluation in an open process.
Enbridge’s detailed (online) project information is impressive. Lots of tech stuff which is good. However when I looked at the marine charts I did wonder how it would be possible to navigate through the tortuous channels between the many islands during a howling gale without contacting some hidden underwater objects.

Dear Sir: A special committee of four Liberal MLAs and three NDP MLAs is touring 15 B.C. towns hit hard by mountain pine beetles. The question we have for the seven MLAs is: why did they bypass the Skeena West areas and the Kispiox forest districts? The problem is not only the pine beetle infestation by all means. The eight sawmills that have closed and the 20 per cent or more drop in timber supply in the people’s observations is caused by the export of logs to China. The logging and clearcuts in the Skeena West and exporting is extensive with no thought of impacts on archaeological sites, animal and fish habitat, the visual quality objectives and other factors that are in the park and protected areas initiatives that are not considered when it comes to the export of our natural resources. The changes proposed by the committee and its so-called “set asides” needs to go back to all areas for public review. And all those who were involved with the park and protected areas initiatives to be called back to the table by the local Ministry of Forests before the committee endorses anything that has to do with scenic areas, old growth stands, wildlife corridors, areas close to wetlands and botanical forest products.

Ex-MLA, teacher charted B.C.’s history
S
hortly after word came of the death of B.C. historian and politician Bill Barlee, my wife searched through her seemingly endless trove of B.C. books and produced half a dozen of his original selfpublished quarterlies, known as Canada West magazine. The earliest one is Winter 1970, where the publisher’s note advises that subscription rates were increasing 20 cents per year to $2.95. Subscriptions were up to more than 1,600 and counter sales were increasing, but costs were also up and Barlee refused to accept either display advertising or U.S. subscriptions. The only colour pages in the issue are high-quality prints of four majestic paintings commissioned for the magazine. Irvine Adams’ scenes of sacred aboriginal sites in the Okanagan-Similkameen include “The Gateway to Inkameep,” where Barlee remarks: “Today that stream which once teemed
with redfish no longer surrenders its once-valued harvest and the perimeter of the desert is gradually being eroded by man’s questionable progress.” With the typography of Old West wanted posters, Barlee provided tightly sourced accounts of B.C.’s legends. “Lost gold mine at Pitt Lake” analyzes and adds to earlier accounts that begin with an aboriginal miner known as Slumach, who would periodically arrive in New Westminster to squander a small fortune in gold, then disappear up the remote tidal lake. Slumach was hanged for murder in 1891 and in the next 70 years, 11 more men would die trying to find his secret. A scientist as well as a storyteller, Barlee concluded that the area’s geology is wrong and the fabled gold-laden creek “probably does not exist.” A passion for prospecting ran through the magazines, and hinted at Barlee’s aversion to treasure-seeking Americans. They
GUEST COMMENT
TOM FLETCHER overran B.C. in historic waves to take gold, and according to Nelson Star reporter Greg Nesteroff, Barlee believed they continued to loot Canadian heritage sites. Nesteroff was inspired by Barlee’s work, and traced his lonely mission to restore the ghost town of Sandon, “the mining capital of the Silvery Slocan.”
Barlee bought a surviving block of buildings in an effort to make Sandon another Barkerville, but heavy snow collapsed them. As tourism minister, Barlee found money to build replicas, and construction began on three. But Barlee lost his Penticton seat to Bill Barisoff in the 1996 election, and today only half-built shells remain. “He was still selling Sandon’s restoration as an economic saviour for the region when he ran for federal office in 2000,” Nesteroff writes. “But by then he was ridiculed for it, and finished a distant second.” Barlee’s 1972 Canada West profile of the boomtown of Hedley would resonate in his career as an NDP MLA and cabinet minister in the 1990s. Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the fight to preserve their history and their works.
Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert. I, as a reporter at the Kelowna Capital News in the early 1980s, first discovered Barlee when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A barebones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts. The show lasted a decade. Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

THE MAILBAG
Foreign angler issues a manifesto for action Dear Sir: This is a response to Skeena Angler Rob Brown’s column of June 20 concerning new fishing regulations. I am not the “American millionaire� Mr. Brown writes of. However, I have met you, Mr. Brown, mid-August of last year. If you recall, I told you that, “I yield to locals.� While last year I extended this good grace to Mr. Brown and other Terrace locals while on the river, at this time I do not find it within me to yield to his recently published opinions. It was suggested that the demonic “American millionaire� should merely hire guides on the Kispiox instead of purchasing property on its banks. While I take no aim here at guides or the services that they provide, most veteran accomplished anglers do not wish to be guided. Additionally, restrictions that require foreign anglers to be guided by design limit access to those that can afford their service. Those that want to have a quality river experience without a guide or because they are unable to afford their service, are simply cast aside. Is that what Mr. Brown’s working group on regulations has in mind for sport fishing worldwide or just for his waters? Should only the wealthy enjoy access so Mr. Brown’s fishing experience is not fettered? Would the author secretly rather the guides and their clients not have access to his waters too? Would he also secretly rather his waters be limited to fly fishing only? I also believe the new regulations will do little to enhance river etiquette. It stands to reason that a foreign angler is going to be less motivated to extend courtesy to local anglers and guides during the week when they are segregated from river access on weekends and in some cases Friday, too. As one might imagine, this will become fertile ground for disagreement on the river and thus further divide and detract from a quality river experience for all. Take comfort in the fact that your Skeena Valley waters are by no means the most crowded. The best case in point that comes to my mind is your very own Vedder and Chilliwack waters to the south. This may very well be the most congested “combat fishing� experience in the world, perhaps second only to Alaska’s Russian and Kenai Rivers. The difference is that this river system is congested with Vancouver anglers and has very little foreign visitation. Because of this simple fact it is not politically possible to limit Vancouver angler access. While the new regulation enhances Mr. Brown’s river experience on the backs of foreign anglers, it also does so squarely on the backs of the Terrace business community. The good people of Terrace were lulled to sleep over the years while the working group persevered. Mr. Brown will say that business had a say in the group but we know that their input diminished over the years because they never thought it would happen. After all, they had businesses to run. Kind residents of Terrace, this is not about your fishery. Steelhead counts on your ecosystem are excellent. Your fishery is healthy. Rather, this is a power grab by biologists, guides and local sportsmen who promote a common agenda on the backs of foreigners and local business. They can’t use poor fish counts to advance their cause and stature because fish counts the last few years have been astonishingly very high. Their private river experi-
ence is the problem, not concern over the ecosystem. A wise person once said “rivers need friends, too.� Your Skeena system needs all the friends it can get to stave off the push for the proposed pipeline and excessive commercial fishing. If those who visit and care about the Skeena are diminished editorially and in numbers, soon the pipeline and other future projects will advance. Then the ecosystem will in fact suffer. I really believe that Mr. Brown’s working group, while well-intentioned, does not what unintended consequences have been set in motion. The more friends your eco-system has, the better the chance of survival. Politicians cannot be trusted to do it. There is too much money and power that will advance industrial degradation. Granted, there is a problem, but this new draconian regulation is excessive and over-reaching. This power grab will have negative ramifications well beyond foreign limitation. Perhaps most importantly, it is also just simply unfriendly and completely contrary to my experience within your otherwise exceedingly friendly Terrace community. Eventually, future working group self-interest will limit your waters to fly fishing only and then both foreign and non-Region Six Canadian anglers alike will be limited to guided access only. Mark my words. It will happen. I urge the good people of Terrace to quickly and soundly shut your door of this new excessive overregulation. Roll it back while that is still possible. Do not wait to take action until it is too late. There are simple voluntary neighbourly measures that can improve the river angling experience. The community can work together through voluntary nongovernmental measures to communicate a cure for this problem. I can only vote with my feet. Mr. Brown and his working group make it all but clear to us that we are simply not wanted. They do not want our extended hand of friendship. Jim Benson, San Carlos, California (Editor’s note: This letter has been edited for length. Its full version appears on the letters section of www.terracestandard.com.)
Elitist guides too strong Dear Sir: Just a note with regard to the new Skeena watershed fishing restrictions for non-Canadians. Clearly these new restrictions were driven by the guiding associations. Otherwise guiding wouldn’t be allowed on the weekends for non-residents. The guiding groups can’t help being elitists since their customers are mostly rich and they believe they have more rights to the B.C. fisheries resources than others. It’s sad they have so much control of the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Department and that local businesses and non-resident fishermen have to suffer for their benefit. Tom Patten, Sumas, Washington

Try relocating this pipeline The best plan would be to minimize the probability of a shipping failure by relocating terminal outside of the Douglas Channel. Why not Prince Rupert? Enbridge has said that this 50-60 km pipeline extension to Prince Rupert is too difficult. What? They’re planning to traverse 1100 km of rugged mountain country with major tunnelling, difficult river crossings, etc., on the way to Kitimat!
There are other opportunities for Canada. Why not upgrade the bitumen oil in Canada. Build petrochemical plants/refineries for domestic and export markets beside the LNG plants being planned for here. I’d guess that a huge market awaits in Asia, US, etc. Only then it may be that this proposal could be worth the risk. Carl Shalansky, North Vancouver, BC

City settles on a chief administrator THE CITY of Terrace has hired its second chief administrator this year. Heather Avison, a long time city official and its corporate administrator, was named chief administrator officer July 12. She replaces Don Ramsay who resigned suddenly June 26 after barely three months on the job. Ramsay was hired in the spring to replace Ron Poole who moved to be Kitimat’s top administrator nearly a year ago. Avison had been filling in as the chief administrative officer until Ramsay was hired and resumed the role when he left. “Heather’s dedication and commitment
to the City of Terrace over the past 20 years combined with her local government management experience make her an excellent choice,” said the city’s mayor Dave Pernarowski in a press release, July 12. Avison has more than 20 years of experience working with the city. “It has been a great experience working more closely with council over the last year and I look forward to the opportunity to work for the city in a new capacity,” said Avison of her interim position and her promotion. Avison’s new salary isn’t immediately known, but Ramsay’s spring letter of employment placed him at an annual salary of
$140,000 plus paying for the complete cost of a comprehensive benefits package. According to the letter, Ramsay was to be paid at 95 per cent of his salary rate, or the equivalent of $133,00 a year, for the first six months of his employment. He received a severance package equivalent to two weeks pay upon his resignation. The city’s quick replacement of Ramsay was one of two tasks it faced within its senior manager ranks. The other was dealing with the departure of development services director Marvin Kwiatkowski who left this month to take an equivalent position with the City of Kamloops. Responsibilities for
Summer’s arrival masks wet spring THE PEOPLE of Terrace are being treated to high temperatures and dry skies this July after surviving a cold and rainy summer season in 2011, and a worse June this year. Last year’s summer set records for being particularly dismal. Even so, May and June of this year had 11 more millimetres of rain (129.8 mm in 2012 vs. 118.8 in 2011). May was slightly drier this time around. Seventeen days reached rain of more than 67.5 mm, when last year 18 days saw 79.9 mm. Even with less rain, May 2012 was cooler than last. Average high temperatures were 13.6 C compared to May 2011 at 15.1 C. May 2012 hit a high of 23.5 C (on the 25th) with an average high of 17.9 and mean temperature of 13.7. That’s two degrees less than last year. In 2011, May’s temperatures peaked at 25.9 C at the month’s end, with an average high of 15.1 C and mean temperature of 10.2. June’s peak temperature this year topped last year’s reaching 28.8 C on the 23rd compared to the 25.9 high of last year. The day’s heat was the high point of an otherwise cool month. June 2012 saw only four days hit higher than 20 C; last year had six. The average high temperature was 16.4 C this year compared to 17.9 C
last year. The average temperature in June was warmer last year at 13.7 C in 2011 compared to 12.2 C in June 2012. June this year was also wetter, with more rainy days and a higher volume of water hitting the ground. More than half of the days this June saw 62.3 mm of rain hit the ground. Last June, 38.9 mm accumulated in less than half the days. May and June in both years touched historical lows for temperature and highs for precipitation. Since July 5th, residents may have found a chance to put those numbers in distant memory. Only one day has been below 20 C (16 C on the 17th). Last July from the 5th, to the 12th, 13.5 mm of rain dropped from the clouds. And this year? Only 1.4 mm, a huge and welcome improvement. The average precipitation for July in Terrace is 47.3 mm; last July saw 34 per cent more than that at 72.1 mm. August, too, saw 80 mm of rain last year, 28 per cent higher than average, which makes the statistics so far encouraging for what to look forward to. Last week, Terrace heated up to 28 C on Friday, and the hot days are expected to continue into the latter half of this month.
Text your crime tips TEXTING TIPS via Crime Stoppers to the authorities is the newest way to report a crime. Tips can now easily be sent “on the spot” by texting a tip to TERRACE (with your message) and sending it to 274637 (CRIMES). The text is encrypted and goes to a secure service in the province
that gives the tipster an alias. The text is then encrypted again, sent to the U.S. to a crime reporting depot, which then sends it back to the investigators here. All that encrypting and sending keeps the tipper anonymous. If the tip helps investigators, information is
then encrypted and sent back to the U.S. and to the secure service in B.C. that then texts the person to say a monetary reward is available. Tipsters can also go to the new website and fill out a form with the tip information that is sent to the investigators and also keeps the tipster anonymous.
this position have been divided up remaining managers, chiefly Herb Dusdal who takes on the title of Director of Operations to oversee public works and devel-
opment services. He was public works director until this move. City planner David Block will report to Dusdal and be given the added responsibility
of overseeing building inspection, business licensing and mapping. Rob Schibli, who was the city’s engineering supervisor, has left that unionized position to become the city’s
engineering manager, an exempt position. He will oversee the engineering department and the roads department.

A BAN on open fires is in effect for northwest B.C. carrying a $345 fine for non-compliance. The ban is imposed by the City of Terrace as of July 12, as well as the Northwest Fire Centre, which began July 13. All of the 19 forest fires in the northwest district have been human-caused this year. The prohibition is in response to the hot and dry weather that is expected to continue, even though there is no lightning in the forecast for the
near future. This time last year, only 17 fires had occurred and 70 per cent, or 12, of those were human-caused. But those fires burned up 11,000 hectares, mostly due to the Tisigar Lake fire last June. This year, only 15 hectares have gone up in flames. Both bans are identical, specifically prohibiting burning waste, slash or other material, burning stubble or grass, and the use of fireworks or fire barrels. Not included are campfires, gas or propane cooking stoves and bri-
quettes. Still, campers are asked not have fires larger than half a square metre or during strong winds. In addition, other precautions recommended are making sure the fire is cold before leaving the area, having eight litres of water or a hand tool available to extinguish an outof-control campfire and of course to never leave a fire unattended. The latest fire in this district started and was extinguished last week just outside Burns Lake. The fire centre received calls from two people late Thursday night and the
0
small fire was considered completely out by Friday morning. “Reporting is key to our success,� said Stephanie Little, assistant information officer at the Northwest Fire Centre. Little added that this fire, which was started by a farmer’s baler, could have grown considerably given the dry surroundings had it not been handled early on. Earlier in the season, B.C. firefighters were being deployed to other parts of the country that were in need of assistance. Now all parts of the country are in the same situ-

ation: hot and dry. No provinces have requested additional firefighters, including B.C. Last year, more than $3 million was spent fighting forest fires in the Northwest Fire District. This year that number is approximately $180,000 to date. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call *5555 on your cellphone or 1-800-663-5555 toll-free.

Fall fair bid for grant from city falls flat THE SKEENA Valley Fall Fair is preparing to make a comeback this year but it won’t be getting financial help from the City of Terrace. This year’s event organizers asked the city to donate $5,093.76 to cover the cost of banners for advertising, also asking that the city help hang and remove banners. The request was first sent to city staff who recommended July 9 that council donate $1,000 instead, but council denied the request altogether. The key question raised was, how much responsibility does the city really have in helping pay for community events? Anything more than $1,000 wasn’t seen by staff to be affordable to the city, explained the city chief administrative officer Heather Avison to council, adding the figure was presented as a baseline for discussion. The staff recommendation added that hanging and removing banners would come at an additional cost to the city as it would be contracted out for up to $1,500. Money to pay for it would have to come from an account the city has set aside for discretionary spending which currently holds
$11,200. But the city wants to spend $7,000 of that hosting a forum this fall between it and surrounding First Nations communities. Council does have money for grants to community groups and events but that’s in a budget established when council sets out its spending plans for the year, noted councillor Bruce Bidgood. Should the council agree to give $1,000 to the fair, it should also give information on the grant application process for next year. Councillor Lynne Christiansen was hesitant. “I’m certainly not in favour of giving more than $1,000,” she said, noting that it’s not the city’s responsibility to fund community events. Bidgood agreed. “I share your concern about funding every event that comes forward,” he said. Councillor Marylin Davies agreed, saying that paying money for events like this could discourage fundraising efforts. She added that since the event is planned for Thornhill, the Regional District of KitimatStikine could be an option instead. Councillor Stacey
Tyers added that many events happen without help from the city. “Events are really good community builders,” she said. “[But] I don’t think you need money from the city to make it happen.” In the end, the initial request for money and subsequent staff recommendation were defeated 4-3 with councillors James Cordeiro, Tyers, Davies and mayor Dave Pernarowski in opposi-
tion. Councillors Christiansen, Bidgood and Brian Downie in favour. The fair ended several years ago because of a lack of volunteers, participants and attendees. This year’s revival takes place Sept. 7-9 and is backed by an umbrella group which is encouraging other groups to sponsor specific activities at the Thornhill community grounds.

■ School’s in ZAC STONE pauses in the middle of an art project while taking part in the Evangelical Free Church’s vacation bible school which ran July 9-13. With summer holidays now in full swing, a number of organizations are offering programs of various kinds for school-aged children in the area.

Properties being probed “[The new owners] had to complete a site profile ... which identified some of the issues with that property,” he said. NSD bought the property in 2009 from the city which obtained it to satisfy unpaid property taxes and an unpaid loan owed by the Terrace Lumber Company, the last company to operate the nowdismantled sawmill. NSD’s property isn’t the only one in the city where taxpayer dollars had to go towards a clean up. The city is getting $96,309 for work on the corner of Greig and Kalum which once contained a gas station that was part of the Terrace Co-operative Association’s shopping centre there. The shopping centre has since been demolished. “The funding now is to further assess where that service station contamination is,” said Block of the Co-op property. The Co-op property is now owned by the city and it has divided it into lots for sale but will first need to investigate the site to see where to draw lines around potentially polluted areas. The grant will be used to see what, if any, problems there are with that portion of the lot and then make recommendations for how to clean it up. Block said the Vanderhoof Co-op, which took over the assets of the Terrace Co-op when it folded, remains responsible for the actual clean up of anything that’s found. Depending on how the northeast corner of the site eventually cleans up, it may only have limited uses for the future such as a parking lot or garden space, said Block.

The transportation issue revolves around Avanti’s plan to truck out its ore concentrate using the east-west Cranberry Connector route that runs approximately 30km from the Nass Valley to Hwy37 north of Kitwanga. From there trucks will continue south to Hwy16 and then to Vancouver where the concentrate will be loaded onto freighters for delivery to customers. The Gitanyow, who have traditional territory along the Connector route, aren’t in favour of its use during the winter
for fear of the impact on moose populations. The Cranberry is designated as a forest service road and is not a highway or road as defined under provincial and is not normally maintained during the winter. Avanti would maintain the road meaning it could also be used by others. “To not use that road during the winter would be a big sacrifice for us so we need to keep that option open and find out how to protect the moose,” said Nelsen. “We had a conser-
vation officer in and he suggested the situation with the moose population is not that they would be hit by trucks, but that there would be poaching,” he added. The suggested solution, Nelsen continued, would be having more conservation officers on duty in the area and it was also suggested Avanti might consider
paying for that. “But we’re going to be paying an awful lot of taxes and we’re saying [the province] might find their way to add a couple more conservation officers from that,” said Nelsen of the taxes the company will be paying. Avanti’s 180-day review clock with the B.C. Environmental As-
sessment Office ends Oct. 28. To date, Avanti has spent $15 million on its environmental studies and that’s part of an overall project expenditure of $70 million. The company purchased the Kitsault property for $20 million in 2008 and it is the only property Avanti has under development.

Singer’s career hits high notes by SAMANTHA GARVEY AMBUR BRAID sings in leading roles for the Canadian Opera Company (COC) to crowds of thousands. But her most nerve-racking performance? Last month, the graduating class of 2012 at Caledonia Senior Secondary was treated to the massive power of Braid’s voice. “I thought I was going to combust,” she said. “I thought, ‘they’re not going to able to hear me,’ and then I sing, and I’m ‘oh this is really small in here,’” referring to the city’s sportsplex. Braid’s visit was a return to her hometown, with her nephew in attendance at the prom performance. She began singing lessons here at age nine with Sue Doughty. She also performed with local music group Kermode Choristers for three years. After leaving Terrace at 16, Braid attended the Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. She then moved on to the COC’s Ensemble Studio youth program, a group of only 12 or so selected each year to understudy or per-
form roles and work with experienced vocal coaches, teachers and conductors. This is her last year in the program. “After this, I have to put my big-girl pants on,” she said. She added that she is confident she will be returning to the same company, but it will be a different experience outside the program. “Instead of getting paid to take classes, I’ll have to pay for them,” she said. Her career has been getting bigger and better, and this final year has been no different. Upcoming this season she will be performing leading roles in Mozart and Strauss operas, and even coaching and singing with some of her idols: Kiri Te Kanawa, Malcolm Martineau and Richard Bonynge. But Braid’s career is diverse. After last year’s collaboration with Broken Social Scene, this year she found excellent reviews after sharing the stage with another rising Canadian indy band Austra at Operanation 8: A Muse Ball, last fall. She said she expects to become involved in the next Operanation event, coming this October. “For some reason, I’m the go-to girl for collaborations,”
Braid said. “It’s neat because it’s a dance-pop scene. You’re not speaking the same musical language.” In addition to successful performances of all types, Braid was ‘Ms. Chatelaine’ last month, and she is featured on the cover of the Royal Conservatory of Music vocal textbook. Despite having a full schedule and then some, she still enjoys her downtime, the very little she has. “In my spare time, I cook,” she said. “You’ll never find an opera singer that doesn’t love good food.” Braid said she sometimes dances as a pre-performance warm-up. “If I’m completely stressed out, some of the other girls will come into my dressing room and do a little dance for me.” And then, it’s back to work. Braid said Canada had a lot to do with her success. “In school we would all sing together,” she said. “Canada is producing excellent musicians and its because we have great music programs. “Never cut music programs!” Braid will back in Toronto this fall as Adele, a leading role in Die Fledermaus (the bat), by Johann Strauss II.

AMBUR BRAID’S singing career is growing by leaps and bounds. She was recently home to sing for Caledonia’s graduating students.
Around Town Camps cancelled SUMMER SCIENCE camps have been cancelled this year due to lack of money but organizers are working hard to ensure they return next year. The Northwest Science and Innovation Society (NSIS) had its financing cut this year with the result being that the society couldn’t offer science camps, says Christine Slanz, executive director of NSIS. “We will be working with both Northwest Community College and the University of Northern B.C. over the next year to form some type of partnership to offer science camps next summer,” says Slanz. “The idea will be to hold them in a variety of locations across the northwest region, not just in Terrace.” The society is currently putting together applications for financing to help cover the costs of science camps for next summer, she adds. The University of Northern B.C. also is skipping its summer science camps for children this year.

During the winter, upgrades to the Twin Spruce Trails from the lower parking lot to First Ave. have made them better so more people can walk, or use their wheelchairs, on them. “We’ve done some upgrades and improvements,” says Northwest Escapes’ Rob Seaton, who manages the park. “Wheelchairs have been through

f you like, you can picture the watercolour painting on the cover of a paperback novel of the same name. There is the woodenplanked dock, rose-coloured by the sunset and just beyond, an island you can walk to in the shallows, then receding into the misty washy distance, there are many more pine-covered islands on a sparkling blue lake. It would seem fake, but it is not. It is true. Just to the west of Chester’s dock (not pictured) is a spit of land that juts into the shallows, where you can truly really wade knee-high to the island when the water is calm and not too high: not in windy spring or rainy fall but in midsummer, hot prairie days. On that little spit is a tangle of gnarled wind-stunted trees and branches and leafy brush, and it is an excellent fort. If you are nine or 10 and your sister is five or six, you can pretend this area here is the kitchen, and brush the sand smooth and pretend to fall asleep then wake up to gather a pretend breakfast of grass and leaves. To the right and below the dock (not pictured) is a tiny sandy beach, where you can build sand-dwellings all day long that will not be disturbed by waves unless some water-skiers go by in a motorboat. If you make rounded dwellings then poke holes in with your finger for doors and windows, it looks just like Planet of the Apes. If little sister does not like Planet of the Apes, you do not have to play that. Maybe some little lake leeches like to live there, or invented small creatures who are also happy and friendly. Just bring a salt shaker with you and

Chester’s Dock sprinkle them so they will let go. The baby leeches who play in shallow warm beach water like little girls do are very cute and nice. In the winter at home in the garage, any complaints about the amount of sanding required of us children for our own wooden planks is quieted by reminders of splinters on bare feet. Next summer, we can still play on Chester’s dock whenever we want, and we also have our own right beside it. It is our little beach. Two summers later, Chester invites his sister and brother-in-law, or maybe the other way around, and they bring an incredibly cute boy-cousin along for two whole weeks. Does he remind you more of Peter Pan or Tarzan as he whoops and leaps off Chester’s dock?
Magically, more kid-cousins appear at other nearby cottages and one warm bright night we all play the Best. Game. Ever. Scrambling over the bare Canadian Shield outcroppings of rock, running along well-beaten footways through the bush, it was a made-up-asyou-go combination of Tag, Hide ‘N’ Seek, and Prisoner’s Base. When the cute cousin caught me and brought me to his base, I thought I’d swoon. That fall I met Dean from Chicago. Yes, from Chicago. You leave our dock in our motorboat, skim along for 20 minutes, portage 10 minutes, then there is a fishing lake that was written up in some big fancy magazine. That’s why Dean’s Dad and uncle came all the way from Chicago to fish, and I met him there. So we threw rocks for a while, and then we just, you know, walked around a bit and talked. It was Totally Dreamy. He was so polite. He said Walleye when he meant Pickerel, but that was okay. I had seen those magazines, my older brother bought them all, so I could translate no problem. Then my family left, back to our cottage for supper, and afterwards I wandered lonely as a cloud and sat with my chin on my knees on Chester’s dock. At dusk, a boat whizzed by, and someone waved, and I think it was Dean, but it was getting dark. If you like, add a wispy watercoloured boat in the middle distance, moving at speed to the west with a rooster tail of spray sparkling in the last light of that day and picture a tall skinny blonde boy from far away waving goodbye.

Thanks Tom MacLean Dear Tom MacLean: It is with regret that I learn that you are retiring as Coast Mountain School District 82, Director of Instruction, Student Support Services but most of all that are moving from Terrace to Nova Scotia in mid-July! I did want to provide a note to express how much you mean to me and the time that we worked together. I know I am not alone and many share my sentiments. When most people talk about their bosses, they are referring to people they work for. The gift that you always gave us as your staff was being a leader we were encouraged to work with. You always believed in each of us and allowed us to shine in our own unique ways. You had the children with special needs as close to your heart as we did. You trusted that we were able to handle ourselves as professionals and expected us to be experts in our ďŹ elds of choice. You had conďŹ dence in our abilities to handle challenging situations but were only ever a phone call or email away, ready to support us. We stood beside you, not beneath you; we were all part of the team. You spoke with us willingly, openly and honestly and your door was always open whenever we needed to bounce ideas your way or for moral support. You encouraged us to grow both as individuals and as professionals. You advocated for us and for the students with whom we work with as strongly as we did. These are gifts to us, the kids and their families and the community of Terrace. Thank you for listening and caring enough to make me a better person and a better professional. I missed you each and every day I came to work while you were away ill this past year and I will always remember our time together fondly. I wish you and your wife Trudi well in your retirement back home and I hope your future is fun, bright, exciting and most of all healthy. Nici DeCario, Vision/ O&M/ Special Education Teacher, Coast Mountain School District 82.

ANNA KILLEN
(250) 638-7283
And they’re off to the games! THE 2012 BC Summer Games kicks off tomorrow and Terrace’s young athletes are ready to go. Approximately 50 Terrace youths are travelling to this year’s games, held in Surrey July 19 – 22. They’ll compete in seven different sporting events ranging from golf to track to volleyball to basketball. Heading there with them are more than a dozen coaches and volunteers, many of whom have been involved in these kids’ budding careers since the beginning. For many of the kids, this is their first trip to the games. Once there, they’ll be immersed in a camp-like environment, bunking with their teammates and fellow competitors, sharing meals, and mingling at nightly dances. “I think they are all really looking forward to competing and having a bit of fun too,” said Crystal Thomas, the triathlete coach. She’s been working with assistant coach Willie Muller and three northwest athletes, including Thomas Christensen from Terrace. “We are very fortunate to have such keen and excited people to be joining the team this year,” she said. It’s no secret that northwest athletes face a bit of an uphill battle when it comes to provincial competi-
tion, simply because the pool of kids is smaller than the zones down south, and there are lengthy travel times between towns inside the northwest zone. “Our zone constitutes 100,000 people compared to Richmond/Delta that has a base of approximately 1.2 million people all within a small area,” said Geoff Watt, assistant coach of the fastpitch team, made up of kids from Terrace, Kitimat and Smithers. “The biggest factor for us is not seeing the high calibre of pitching on a regular basis that the kids down south see.” But the team has been making it work, practising in their respective areas during the week and getting together with the whole team on weekends. “We have a good group of kids and they all seem to be coming together,” he said. “I am optimistic that we will be competitive with the other teams.” As for the kids, they don’t seem to be fazed by the competition ahead. We’ve got about a one in 16 chance, laughed track members Carly Davies, Hannah Jay, and Patrick Holmberg in unison, when asked what ANNA KILLEN PHOTO their odds were. “But that’s okay,” said Jay. “It’s SPRINTERS CARLY Davies and Hannah Jay practise at Skeena Secondary one week before the summer games. “It’s about the experience,” said Jay. about the experience.”
Terrace’s athletes: Here is the list of Terrace participants in the Summer Games: Athletics: Kathleen Schulte (Assistant Coach) Carly Davies Larissa Hayward Patrick Holmberg Mikayla Holmes Hannah Jay Summer Schulte Deborah Wraight (injured, not attending) ANNA KILLEN PHOTO
TRACK TEAM members Summer Schulte and Mikayla Holmes practise discus. The team films themselves using an iPad in order to check their form and make improvements.
Practice makes perfect TERRACE’S TRACK and field team might not have a regulation track, but they do the best with what they have. Terrace does not have a rubber-coated track like the ones used at other track meets. This means Terrace cannot host a track meet of its own, and athletes prepar-
ing for the Summer Games need to make certain adjustments, things like wearing different shoes and setting up sprinting stations in the grass. “We use equipment that’s similar, but it’s not the same,” said coach Dighton Haynes. “There’s a big difference between track
and asphalt.” The rubber layer on top of the asphalt makes “a cushion so there’s that give and you don’t get injured.” He hopes Terrace will get a track in his lifetime, but doesn’t see it in the near future. “They’d have to rip out the entire field,” he said.

Arm wrestler has his grip on worlds TERRACE ARM wrestler Allan Heinricks is heading to the world championships with Team Canada once again. The long-standing local powerhouse has just returned from nationals, held in Vancouver, where he won gold in the able-body Grand Masters 100+kg category, meaning he will be travelling to Brazil mid-September to compete amongst thousands of other professional arm wrestlers from 37 countries. He also won silver in the Physically Challenged category – there were only two men in that competition. Vern Martel, who won gold in that category is an ex-World and Canadian champion. “I didn’t mind losing to him even though we both gave it our all,” said Heinricks. “He said that it felt like I crushed his hand at the start.” This isn’t Heinricks’ first taste of large-scale competition — a competitive arm wrestler for more than 15 years, he says he’s been to “too many competitions to count.” This was his 10th time competing at the national level. Competition during the five days at nationals was tough, he said.
“My arm is still hurting,” he said. Arm wrestling has been Heinricks’ ticket to travel the world – he’s been to South Africa, Germany, Sweden, Holland, and Kazakhstan competing with people from all over the world. There are always a lot of new people at the competitions, he said. “That’s one of the best parts, meeting all of the people.” Heinricks, who is wheelchair bound, first started arm wrestling after losing function of the left side of his body after a stroke. “I said to myself, I’ve got half a body left,” he said. “How can I utilize it?” He attended physical therapy, which led to more serious training, which, naturally, led to competitions. Most of the time, he’s the only one in a wheelchair at competitions, he said, noting that he doesn’t think having the use of only one arm – and an incredibly strong one at that – helps or hurts his chances. “It’s heavy, heavy competition,” he said. “But I think I can win.” Leading up to the games, he’s going to continue his regime of healthy eating and intense physi-

Sun shines on Barkman Triathlon at the lake THE ANNUAL Barkman Triathlon at Furlong Bay on Lakelse Lake was back this year, and unlike last year, the weather played a positive role. “Last year it was pouring rain,” said organizer Crystal Thomas, noting turnout was higher this year than last for the day, which features three events, Olympic, Duathlon, and Sprint, and draws competitors from Terrace, Smithers, Prince Rupert, Vanderhoof and

Prince George. “We really needed the sun, it warms up the lake,” she said. “It was such a nice day.” Temperatures at the lake average 17 degrees, so weather can make all of the difference for participants. Twenty-five competitors and their families showed up for the event, which featured music by Dr. Fishy, and a salmon lunch cooked by Thomas’ brother.
he Western Working Group (WWG) of the recently concluded Quality Waters Process had to deal with the summer steelhead rivers west of Kitwanga. The rivers upstream of Kitwanga – the fabled Kispiox, the Babine, the Sustut, the Bulkley and the Morice – have longer histories and older, well established, guiding operations than do the lower tributaries of the Skeena. The absence of such historic use made our job more complicated, and decidedly more contentious. Guiding on the Kalum, for example, is a mere three decades old, and for the first decade of those three only two guides worked the river in earnest. Dustin Kovacvich, representing the Skeena Angling Guides Association, has the lion’s share of those guiding days. A sizeable chunk of that tenure falls in the spring when the majority of the steelhead in the section above the canyon – which is almost the entire river – are darkening summer/fall fish. To ease pressure on those fish, Dustin proposed taking the spring allocation of guide days and transferring it to the fall, thus extending the fall guiding season. Since I’ve had a concern about pressure on those holdover steelhead since Dustin’s predecessor, Noel Gyger, began guiding the Kalum, I thought his proposition made sense. Still, after much debate, the WWG couldn’t reach a
“It’s a local event with a local flavour,” said Thomas. “It’s one of the top courses where you get to run, bike, and swim,” she said. Unlike some races, where the running portion loops four times around the same scenery, this race is one large loop through an old growth forest. “It’s super challenging,” she said. “And a lot of people are blown away by how beautiful it is.”

into a secure and powerful economic entity by instituting the aforementioned measure and thereby forcing bed and breakfast operations to refer their angling clients to guides. Gone too is the chance to curb the crowding and the inevitable loss of angling quality that attends it. How do you create such a mess? It’s simple. First, hire a consultant who doesn’t know BS from breakfast cereal when it comes to Skeena steelhead, give him vague objectives and no clear definition of angling quality or a strong indication of how it might best be preserved, no guidance in the form of robust data on the angling use and projections on the carrying capacity of the rivers under review. Next, assemble a group comprised of almost all the most knowledgeable guides and resident anglers in the Skeena Valley, but instead of dividing them into groups and instructing them to roll up their sleeves and come up with recommendations in a healthy environment of adversarial negotiating (which they certainly would have done), haul out chart paper and smiley stickers and attempt to manage their energies toward a predefined goal. That done, further complicate matters by reducing the options set out on day one and by adding new, uniformed and inexperienced members to the original committees.

Shell Canada Ltd, Korea Gas Company (KOGAS), Mitsubishi Corporation and PetroChina Company Limited are proposing to build LNG Canada – an LNG export terminal near Kitimat, British Columbia. Kitimat is wellsuited for an LNG terminal as it is on Canada’s deepest inland tidewater port and is easily accessible via the Douglas Channel – B.C.’s largest coastal fjord.
Value for British Columbia, Energy for the World
Commitment to responsible development
Working with First Nations and the Community
The LNG Canada project would include the design, construction and operation of a gas liquefaction plant, and facilities for the storage and export of liquefied natural gas, including marine off-loading facilities and shipping.
The proposed LNG Canada project brings Shell, KOGAS, Mitsubishi and PetroChina’s extensive development experience, technical depth, financial strength and access to markets required to be the leading LNG developer in Canada. LNG Canada’s vision is to work collaboratively with First Nations, the local community, non-governmental organizations, and local, provincial and national levels of government to achieve the proposed project, and deliver a project that offers a new source of competitively priced LNG to global markets, while providing benefits to Canada, British Columbia and its coastal region.
The decision to move the project forward into development would be taken after conducting the necessary engineering, environmental, First Nations and stakeholder engagement work, with start up around the end of the decade, pending regulatory approvals and investment decisions.
LNG Canada’s vision is to deliver a project that offers a new source of competitively priced LNG to global markets, while providing benefits to Canada, British Columbia and its coastal communities. A world-class energy development project The LNG Canada project would initially consist of two LNG processing units referred to as “trains”, each with the capacity to produce six million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG, with an option to expand the project in the future. LNG Canada would be one of the most significant energy development projects in the history of British Columbia.
A regulated industry with an exceptional safety record For the past 50 years, LNG carriers have been safely transporting liquefied natural gas across oceans to markets where it is then regasified. In more than 50 years of commercial LNG use, no major accidents or safety or security problems have occurred, either in port or at sea.
LNG Canada Competitive Advantages
LNG is natural gas in its liquid, rather than gaseous form. To export natural gas where pipelines don’t exist, natural gas is cooled to -162 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, gas turns into a liquid, and its volume is reduced by 600 times. In its liquid form, natural gas can be safely and efficiently shipped by LNG carrier to global markets. Natural gas is odourless, colourless, non-toxic and non-corrosive. In its liquid form, natural gas is stored at standard pressures, which means it is nonexplosive. In the case of a leak, LNG evaporates when mixed with air. If the concentration of LNG in the air is below five percent or above 15 percent, it will not ignite.
To learn more about LNG Canada Over the coming months, LNG Canada will begin consultation in communities and will be providing further information about the project and an opportunity for interested parties to ask questions and raise concerns. A Project Description will also be provided to regulatory authorities.
