Line agreement jobs start in fall UPWARDS OF 40 people will be working into late fall clearing a 41 kilometre long swath, part of the Northwest Transmission Line project. The section to be cleared runs north of Meziadin past the Bell Irving area up Hwy 37 North. The work is tied to a series of impact benefits agreements signed by BC Hydro with First Nations and the Nisga’a Nation. The agreement for this section was signed by BC Hydro with one of the First Nations, the Skii km Lax Ha. The agreements acknowledge the line’s crossing of First Nations traditional territory and of Nisga’a Lisims Government lands, by providing money, jobs and business opportunities.
The Skii km Lax Ha, in turn, have signed a deal with the Gitxsan Development Corporation to take care of the clearing and associated works. Speaking last week, development corporation president Rick Connors estimated that out of the 40 jobs to be created, as many as 25 Gitxsan people will be hired to work on the clearing itself, on safety monitoring, on environmental monitoring and on catering. Also on the to-do-list is establishing a camp for the workers who will be clearing the route. “It’s quite an intricate contract,” said Connors of the work involved. “There’s not only the width of the route, there’s specs about the ground clearing. One portion looks like a golf course.”
The project planning calls for the work to be done by late fall. “Well, I hope to be done before the snow flies,” said Connors. “That’s our timeline.” Clearing of other sections of the transmission line route has either already taken place or is now underway. The Northwest Transmission Line, which will cost $561 million, will run 344 kilometres, from the Skeena Substation south of Terrace up to Bob Quinn on Hwy 37 North. Earlier this year, the Kitselas First Nation cleared 7 kilometres from the Skeena Substation north to the Skeena River. As well, the Tahltan Nation began clearing a section running south of Bob Quinn. The route clearing work in the Kitsumkalum traditional territory is now underway.
The number of companies involved in the Skii km Lax Ha section alone highlight the complexities of industrial work. The Gitxsan Development Corporation, which is overseeing the clearing work for the Skii km Lax Ha, has hired a Prince George company called Blackwater Construction which will do the labour. In addition, Brinkman Forest Ltd. has been hired as the project manager. Connors said the clearing work is the first step towards providing economic opportunities from the transmission line for Gitxsan people on their own territory. That goal fits with the Gitxsan Development Corporation’s mandate given by its owners, the Gitxsan hereditary chiefs, said Connors.
Girls demolish problem shack By MARGARET SPEIRS DEMOLITION WILL be an activity for girls as local female RCMP officers and a girls’ group will be demolishing an old, unwanted shack this Friday. The shack, high on a hill along the Howe Creek Trail, is a dangerous, problem hangout area where young people drink and do drugs. “It was an area identified as a problem by the [general duty RCMP] members,” said Terrace RCMP community policing officer Const. Angela Rabut, adding that she and Const. Kendra Felkar, who are spearheading the project, thought they’d run it past the girls in the Ksan Girls’ Camp. Rabut and Felkar are doing several activities with the girls, who are age 11 to 15, this summer. “And we proposed it to them and they were pretty happy [to do it],” said Rabut. The female officers here have already made crafts with the girls and have two
more activities in mind, one of which will be taking them canoeing. During that first activity together, they all began talking and some girls said they had been afraid of RCMP officers before, but weren’t anymore. “I think it’s by sitting down and doing everyday things with them that they’re seeing us in a different light. We’re just regular girls too,” said Rabut, adding that for some of the girls most of their experiences with police have been negative. The camp was put together after the RCMP, Ksan House Society and other organizations decided to take on the issue of how to create a safe woman this past May. The answer was to create a sober one, which is done by giving them confidence, which is done through mentorship. And the Ksan Girls’ Camp, organized by the Ksan House Society, was born to promote health, happiness and confidence through mentorship for seven weeks as a pilot project this summer.

THE BLAZE that ignited at the residence at 3532 Cory Drive destroyed most of the roof July 14.
Electrical plug causes house blaze By MARGARET SPEIRS AN ACCIDENTAL electrical fire at an outdoor plug is responsible for burning the roof off a house at 3532 Cory Drive July 14. That’s the official word from Terrace fire chief John Klie late the afternoon of July 16. “They had an outdoor plug like “There were multiple many houses do. They calls so the guys knew were smoking it was a big fire,” fish and the –John Klie smoker was plugged into it and there didn’t seem to be any damage done to the smoker itself,” he said, adding the fire damage was at the plug in. Although people can overload their electrical sockets by plugging in too many things at once, that was not the case here, he said. “Little smokers don’t take that much [power],” said Klie, adding that whether there was wear and tear to the socket or it was old age that led to the fire wasn’t known. The city fire department received several calls about the blaze at about 3:40 p.m. July 14, and 15 firefighters arrived in six minutes, Klie said earlier in the day July 16. “There were multiple calls so the guys knew it was a big fire,” said Klie, adding flames burned up into the rafters and attic space. A mother and child got out of their home safely, he added. “The house, from what I can see, is definitely salvageable,” said Klie, adding that he’s seen similar blazes in Kitimat where some homeowners made repairs while others tore it all down and rebuilt. Siding burned on the neighbour’s house will probably have to be replaced, but thankfully the wind wasn’t blowing hard and was blowing toward the back of the house, he said. “It’s good that we got a lot of fire calls for this,” said Klie about the neighbours’ actions. “The neighbours kind of watch out for each other,” he added, saying that the residents did the right thing to get out of the house and away from the blaze as fast as they could.

TERRACE HAS a new place to take common recyclables. The Kermodei Tourism Society’s visitor information centre on Keith Ave. has set up recycling bins primarily for tourist use but also open to anyone else. Visitor centre manager Erin Dunbar said the need became apparent after realizing tourists and visitors were emptying waste, recyclable or not, in garbage bins throughout the city. Having the bins located with the sanidump facility at the visitor centre made sense, explained Eric Anderson, a second-year employee at the centre. “Then the recycling is really convenient,” he said. Residents of Terrace are welcome to use the bins as well. And because the centre is located right across Keith from Waste Management’s compound, anything that can’t be recycled can be easily

Right now, the centre is equipped to accept paper, plastic, cans and bottles and staff is working to develop a system to accept batteries and old paint. Lloyd McGovern from Bandstra Transportation, who was at a July 18 barbecue held to promote the visitor
centre bins, said people don’t always know where to take their recyclables. “We get phoned all the time,” he said. And without knowing where to go, “people are always taking stuff to the dump.” “We’ll be setting up workshops to teach people how to recycle,” said Dunbar.
The workshops are intended to include the community as well as visitors. Money for the bins comes from the Kitimat-Stikine regional district’s Zero Waste Program. Approximately 100 people turned out for the July 18 barbecue held to promote the recycling effort.

Upgrade to Skeena Mall to cost millions By Lauren Benn THE OWNER of a major property development company from the lower mainland says when work is done, the Skeena Mall’s purchase and extreme face lift will have cost around $8 million. Robert Bosa, owner of Bosa Properties which purchased the Skeena Mall under subsidiary Loon Properties Inc. for $3.8 million in November 2011, says at the time he didn’t expect to spend $4-5 million more, but that it’s a good thing. The first application to the city for renovations and improvements to the building’s inside and outside was charted at $1.7 million in April, but it has risen because improvements for new tenants are being made, said Bosa. “I thought it was a good deal in the beginning,” said Bosa about the initial decision to purchase the mall. He said with projections of economic activity to come over the next five to fifteen years, he felt confident about the purchase.
From there, things evolved, he said. At the time, it was unknown what if any new stores would lease space there, but Bosa said it was known that the mall would need improvements. But now with Sport Chek, Dollarama and Winners officially on board, Bosa said it’s important that the mall’s look is completely redone. “We want to make it so that it all looks brand new,” he said, adding that improvements like this keep tenants for the long haul, which is what the company wants. In response to rumours about a London Drugs moving into the mall, Bosa said that nothing is in the bag. Construction on the building started in spring 2012 and is expected to be finished by the summer’s end. Initial improvements were applied for under two permits totaling $1.7 million, one for indoors and one for outdoors. These include exterior refinishing, new signage, a new roof, and landscaping. Indoors, new flooring and
Robert Bosa other finishing renovations were included. Plans evolved to include knocking down retail space walls to make room for three large new stores inside and finish them to be ready for retailers to move in. The city’s building inspector Bruce Miller said for Sport Chek, the interior renovation permit came in at $600,000. “There’s going to be a few more permits,” he said, adding that permits for Dollarama and Winners are underway. “Undoubtedly when he’s all finished, he will have spent his $8 million,” said Miller about the cost of mall renovations and upgrades. He added that many won’t require permits, such as laying new asphalt outside or roofing. “101 Industries is doing a lot of roofing on that roof,” he said.

Family violence Breaking the cycle goes deeper than breaking dependencies By Lauren Benn
I
t wasn’t the first time Mary Smith had shown up bruised and beaten before Ksan House Society staff. Nor would it be the last time she would take off her shirt, revealing fresh bite marks to match the scars on the rest of her body. Both the RCMP and Ksan employees knew this. Everyone who worked on her case wanted the man responsible put in jail, again. Smith (not her real name) was no stranger to abuse. It has been present in her life since childhood. The drugs she used made the pain bearable — at least, while she was high. She had left her abuser years before, but he knew where she lived, how to find her, and how to get into her home. Despite separation, she was not safe. He would break into her home and rape her. But giving evidence against him could put her life in even more danger. Statistically, separation poses the highest risk to victims of domestic violence type abuse, says Morgen Baldwin, who works for the Ksan House Society and sits on a local committee that targets highrisk domestic violence cases. A Statistics Canada 2012 report states 65 per cent of spouses accused of homicide had a history of family violence involving the victim. “This was most often the case when the spousal victim was estranged from their partner, including those divorced or separated from a legal marriage or commonlaw relationship,” the report indicated. The fear of retaliation is one of the key reasons many women don’t provide evidence against abusers. “These are crimes that are usually under reported,” said Baldwin about domestic abuse cases, pointing out that the number of domestic violence related calls local RCMP receive don’t paint an accurate picture for this reason. “They know that once they report, something will happen.” All this is why a plan to leave an abuser must include measures for safety and security, adds Wendy Therrien from the local victim services committee. “Their gut is right,” said Therrien of women uncertain of their next steps. “It would be pretty unsafe to leave without an appropriate plan for safety.” That plan is a step-by-step process, and often involves staying safe within the relationship. In Smith’s case, after pressure from local law enforcement, she decided to give evidence against her abuser. There was enough information for provincial crown counsel lawyers to approve criminal charges. The man was arrested and held

in jail until trial. But by the time the trial took place, almost one year later, her memory of specific details from the incidents like times of arrival and what clothing he was wearing was foggy at best. Without these — even though she had given a statement to RCMP, evidence placed him at the scene of the crime and pictures were taken afterward of her injuries — there wasn’t enough for a conviction. The man was released. While the lack of reporting domestic violence lowers the number of cases that appear in statistical data, cases such as Smith’s add to the problem because they breed a mistrust in the justice system, says Kirsten Kirkaldy, Ksan House Society’s transition house manager. “(Many) don’t want to report because nothing happens,” said Kirkaldy, adding that’s why support services are essential to attacking the problem of domestic violence at its roots. It’s also why the local High Risk Domestic Violence Interagency Committee was formed. The committee is made up of
the RCMP, RCMP victim services, the Ksan House Society, community corrections officers and the Ministry of Children and Family Development. It focusses on specific high risk cases, shares information and comes up with specific strategies on how to best handle each one. And violence in the home doesn’t just touch the adults. Counselling children who have witnessed domestic violence is key, as children who come from homes where it is present are more likely to be involved in it later on in life. Witnessing abuse in the family as a child normalizes the behaviours, says Kirkaldy. According to a 2012 Statistics Canada Report, spousal victims of violent crime were more likely than other victims to report being first victimized as a child. Kirkaldy added this is also true of those who inflict abuse. It’s one reason, in her estimation, there also needs to be more support services for men. A lot of support systems are female-focused, said Kirkaldy, add-
ing that while that’s crucial — and that statistically more women are victims of violence — there is a lack of organized support services for men, whether or not they are victims or perpetrators of abuse. “You can treat the women all you want,” said Kirkaldy. “The only way you’re going to stop the cycle or slow the cycle down is creating supports for the men.” Men can be both victims or offenders, and there isn’t always a distinguishable line between both, she said, adding that shame and pride for men are deterrents that skew the numbers of men who report being victims of family violence or seek help for committing it. In treatment, it isn’t about who is at fault, Kirkaldy continued, it’s about getting to the root of behavioural issues. She pointed to therapies applied by the courts to perpetrators of domestic violence, which require a crime to happen before a remedy is applied. Kirkaldy’s not surprised when people re-offend after being released from jail, because incarcer-
ation isn’t healing, and even still, remedies applied focus on managing anger, she said. “You’re treating surface scratches but you’re not really helping the bottom where it’s starting,” she said. And healing goes beyond managing anger. Patricia Vickers, a clinical counsellor with local roots and experience working with men on probation for domestic violence related offences, agrees. “Seeing me every week met their requirements for anger ‘management.’ Management implies that rage — because it is really about rage (anger, shame, fear are the common combinations for rage) is something we can heal by managing it.” “When the men ... came in to see me, they felt completely powerless over their rage. And that powerlessness is frightening and triggers childhood experiences of violence and neglect from their childhood,” said Vickers. “The trauma that we suffer in childhood and the conditioned responses connected to faulty beliefs take time and consistency to transform.” Vickers emphasized it’s not just about managing it, but getting to its roots, its connections to behaviours, and forgiving parents or caregivers. “It is not a simple task but it needs to happen if we are to heal,” she said. “I think we need to be addressing trauma when we help men to heal from rage to be responsible, accountable men of integrity.” But addressing the issue before an incident arises is key, said Kirkaldy, adding that there is a lack of organized support services for men in Terrace specifically dealing with issues of anger or family violence — perpetrators are usually dealt with under the justice system. A cost-free service that is offered locally is Northern Health Authority mental health and addiction services which treats those who apply and want help. Referrals are required, but those can be from family, a doctor, or friend. Those who attend aren’t ordered to do so as part of a court order. “There are a multitude of reasons as to why someone might respond in an angry or violent manner,” said Michael Melia, the northwest director for mental health and addictions. He added that when treating someone who wants to change, it’s not about who is the victim or the perpetrator. “Our services are all offered in a non-judgemental approach,” he said. “We really just look at the individual as a whole person ... and how we can support and assist ... growth and try and deal with some of the barriers and stigma,” said Melia.

EDITORIAL
Park plans IF THERE’S ever been a project that has “remain optimistic” stamped on its file folder cover, it has to be the Terrace airport lands enterprise. Officially called the Skeena Industrial Development Park, the project is more than 10 years old and has survived a change in the mayor’s chair, numerous changes on Terrace city council and the departure of the city’s top administrator first charged with shepherding the development. The premise is that the Crownowned land south of the airport offers attractive, flat and serviceable acreage. The city has the option to buy land from the province but only when it sells the land to a company. It’s a clever idea given that the city has no money itself to buy the land and then sell it onward at some future date. So far the city has had no takers. A memorandum of understanding signed several years ago has expired and the city now says it has a new one with another company. A big plus was receiving a timelimited offer of $688,000 each from the provincial and federal governments provided the city matched the amount. With time running out and faced with a “use it or lose it” scenario, the city scraped together its amount and that’s resulted in the extensive intersection work now underway on Hwy 37 south of the airport to gain access to the intended industrial park. That expression “build it and they will come” will surely be tested here. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

efore you report a burned out street light, you must know the street light’s pole number. Without that number, your complaint will go nowhere. A complaint that went nowhere has kept residents of Valleyview Avenue in Thornhill waiting more than six months to have their light replaced though they have all complained over and over to both regional district and BC Hydro. While some wait time is understandable, a wait of more than six months is not only absurd but a hint something has gone awry. Valleyview Avenue is a short street in Lower Thornhill. When its only light is out the entire street is dark. No other light exists on either side to compensate. Here, courtesy of the Ministry of Transport’s Terrace office, are the steps to report a burned out street light in order to generate a work order with B.C. Hydro: 1. Get the pole number. This is embossed on a credit card-sized metal tag and consists of two rows of numbers, about 14 numbers on each row.

The Mail Bag Enough with the bad news
SAMANTHA GARVEY PHOTO
THE KENNEY St. level crossing is often blocked with lengthy freight trains.
Time to stop CN blockade Dear Sir: Regarding the story concerning CN’s extension of five sidings on its north line. How nice that CN has decided to spend hundreds of thousands or possibly millions of dollars building new sidings in the middle of nowhere purely for the convenience of passing
more trains and increasing train traffic. What does this mean for Terrace? More blocked intersections at the Kenney St. crossing which is one of the main connections for half of the south side of Terrace. The blockages are already unbearable for local residents and the
many businesses along that half of Keith Avenue. Since the port went into Prince Rupert this crossing has been blocked multiple times a day and at key times when people would be going to work and school. There is no good option as the Sande
Overpass intersection is completely disfunctional and uncontrolled, and any other routes involve directing large amounts of irritated drivers through residential areas with school zones and playground zones. For some reason CN has this blanket and unquestioned right to do whatever they want and
they don’t care in the least about cutting off a main roadway here as often as they wish. CN is no longer our wonderful Canadian National Railway. It is now largely owned/ run by Americans and its main purpose is to feed goods straight into the US market from China.

Dear Sir: As a long time Terrace resident, now living in Alberta, I have always been very proud to show my fellow co-workers here where I was born and raised. Some of the pictures I show them are stunning (mountains, rivers, wildlife and aerial views of the whole area are especially incredible). One thing I am not proud of showing off to them is The Terrace Standard. I used to enjoy coming to the online paper, but now I really do not enjoy it as much, mostly because of the attention you want to focus on the town troubles. The online front page is always splashed with all of the incidents, vandalism, and just ridiculous goings-on in Terrace and I wonder if it would be best if these articles, or crime reports, were in a totally separate section of their own. I mean, is this a way to sensationalize Terrace, or what is the actual purpose of making Terrace look ridiculous like this? It certainly doesn’t flatter Terrace. Most of the incidents just seem ridiculous and really have no need to be included (in my opinion). Some of the more serious ones, sure. Every town has its issues with drugs, alcohol, crime, etc., I just do not believe every single minor problem needs to be put in print for the world to see, and to judge Terrace on. Terrace looks like a place I would not want to visit if I was to just go by your online paper. I know though that Terrace was an incredible place to be raised, and I treasure the people and the memories from there. I visit the town every year as my family and a lot of my friends still live there. Less garbage, more positives, please. G. Paulson, Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta
The dollar is the message in Enbridge campaign
W
hen a group of women showed up to protest a women’s luncheon being sponsored by Enbridge, a lot of people cried foul. They said that the protesters’ actions somehow trampled on the collective freedoms of Enbridge and the participants in the luncheon. Let’s be clear; the luncheon was designed to promote Enbridge and their project, the Northern Gateway Pipeline. I can’t think of any other reason that Enbridge would be spending money here, so why is it that we are surprised when protesters show up, particularly at this point in the game. The game is that of maintaining the message that Enbridge has been putting forward for four years – oil pipelines are good, now stop asking questions and we will give you large sums of money. This is a simple enough message, and I think that if my values were for sale, I would simply comply, and wonder what the
heck the fuss is all about. I might even believe their sub message which is – we are a nice company. Crude oil will be shipped through your region regardless, so just like us and we will give you large sums of money. I might believe it enough to become an advocate for them, to even fight for their cause. Who wouldn’t want large sums of money? Right? Heck, look at how much money they have spent already just convincing us that they have large sums of money to spread around. Enbridge has so far confirmed it is spending $100 million on the Northern Gateway project. Sure, some of that has to go toward convincing a board of petroleum product transportation experts, either formerly or ‘futurely’ employed in the field, that transportation of crude oil is good. They might ask some questions, but most of the answers are already in the can based on previous board or panels, and anyway, the panel probably believes the messaging already.
GUEST COMMENT
Bruce Martindale There has been an awful lot of that money used to deliver that messaging to politicians. When I was on Terrace City Council and attended meetings involving politicians from different communities in the region, Enbridge was there. And I don’t mean just there as an observer. Enbridge was usually a gold sponsor of the event or session and that came with the right
to supply a keynote speaker. I heard the Enbridge message a lot and I know an awful lot of politicians who started to believe it. Luckily for us, many do not. Sure, other companies and special interest groups sponsor political events, but I guarantee you, never has there been anything like Enbridge’s love for politicians of all stripes, in all communities and at all levels. And that is particularly disturbing when the messaging is so blatant and self-serving. Advertising – $5 million this year alone. Need I say more. Oh yeah, check out the messaging and see if it doesn’t say what I said above. Read between the lines now. Can’t find the ads? Impossible, they are even on CBC online. What about sponsorship of community events, meetings and groups? Have we ever seen such a generous company? Incredible given that they have no social license to contribute, but are simply trying to buy support. It offends me to no end to see
how gullible Enbridge thinks we are, and I am glad that we are starting to protest, as we should. I don’t think any company has ever spent this kind of money purely to promote a project ever in the history of business, anywhere in the world. I’ve looked and I can’t find another example that even comes close. Which brings me back to the small group of women who were offended by Enbridge enough to show up and show their displeasure. That was no small feat given the power of Enbridge and their messaging. They succeeded and made a few other people think a bit more about what is really going on here. Now I leave you with one last question. If what we, the voter, the citizen, thinks ‘does not matter and this is a done deal,’ why is Enbridge going to all this trouble and spending so much money? Bruce Martindale was a City of Terrace councillor from 2008 to 2011.

THE MAILBAG
Enbridge pipeline plan and water don’t mix Dear Sir: Property values have been halved as a result of the spill in central Alberta. In just six weeks, there were three major oil spills in Alberta. In May, Pace Oil & Gas reported an oil spill of 5,000 barrels near Rainbow Lake, northwest Alberta. On June 19, Enbridge confirmed a spill of about 230,000 litres through its pumping station on its Athabasca pipeline, near the town of Elk Point. The third pipeline leak on Plains Midstream Canada pipeline (PMC), early June, near Sundre (100 kilometres west of Red Deer) was the worst in recent years. It spilled nearly half a million litres of oil into Jackson Creek and dripped into the Red Deer River and Gleniffer Lake and Reservoir, a source of drinking water for many residents in the Sundre area. Several families were forced to leave their houses and suffered health problems due to inhaling toxic fumes. Residents and business owners are launching a class-action lawsuit against PMC after they say the latest oil spill devastated their property value. Merchant Law Group filed the suit against PMC in late June. Local realtors who were consulted suggest property values have been halved as a result of the recent oil spill. Fortunately, for Sundre residents, the oil spilled to their drinking water resources was the light sour crude oil, which doesn’t pose dangerous qualities as DilBit has, the tar sand oil Enbridge will be shipping through our land and water. (DilBit stands for Diluted Bitumen, a heavier and dirtier form of conventional crude oil. It is a highly corrosive, acidic and a potentially unstable blend of thick raw bitumen and volatile natural gas liquid). The residents of Sundre discovered and reported the oil spill to the local authorities, which in turn
notified the pipeline operator PMC about the spill on its pipeline. A question arises in the case of Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline: Who is going to report the oil spill in remote places of northern wilderness? And how on earth is this going to be reported to Enbridge monitoring station? Even residents of Rosswood, a community just 40 kilometres north of Terrace, are out of range. The Sundre oil spill proves that the oil company has failed to effectively monitor the operation of its pipeline; the spill was discovered by the residents not by a sophisticated monitoring device the oil company claims to use to safeguard its hazardous operation on our land and water. Can Enbridge be trusted? Enbridge Inc. has an alarming record of environmental accidents, over 600 of them between 1999 and 2008. The next day after the spill, premier of Alberta Alison Redford visited the oil spill site in Sundre and commented, “Risks come with economic development.� I wonder if B.C. Premier Christy Clark shares her opinion on this subject. With the increase of pipelines and tar sand oil production in the future, there isn’t enough manpower to respond to spills across remote or populated areas. Yet, the federal government shut down its environmental emergency response Edmonton office, which in the recent years helped to deal with 1,000 oil spills per year. Water is the most precious resource we have. It is irreplaceable and we should protect it at all cost. Without clean water, we won’t exist and no amount of money or assets would change it. We can’t drink oil or eat money. Ann Parker, Terrace, B.C.

Thanks for opening the gates again Dear Sir: I guess it is my turn to put in my two cents worth about the closing of the city cemetery gates to vehicles. It was a real inconvenience and made it difficult to visit. On one visit we had to make three trips out to our car to pack heavy items to the family plot. I was not impressed.
But I’m now glad the city listened to the people who called in or who wrote letters. The decision to open the gates once again was the right one to make. Diane Pipe, Terrace, B.C.

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.

s I sit down to write, it’s cloudy and grey–not cold outside, but not overly warm. And it’s a good thing or the last place I’d be is at my computer. There are so many things to adore about summer, and as it never seems long enough in Terrace, I soak in every bit of it as much as I can. Good intentions to write or clean my house or organize or whatever be darned–I’m totally distracted. The season makes me feel simultaneously young and old, like I haven’t aged a day since I was eight–or 17–or like I’ve seen it all, been it all and am 80 looking back at the past with fond reminiscences. Just a few of the things that catch my imagination, make me smile or sigh with physical pleasure, or mist my eyes with gratitude and memories: The creaking repetitive sound of swing sets. The scent of sunshine-warmed grass. The smell of rain as it hits dry, dusty asphalt. The sharpness of almost-too-hot-totouch sand under your feet. How it feels to wrap up in a huge towel or blanket when you’ve, cold and shivery with goose bumps, finally climbed out of the lake. The way your skin has that salty outdoors smell when you come inside after spending all day outside working, playing, sweating. The warm crazy wind that sometimes kicks up in the evening after a hot day–you know, the kind that makes you think thunder and lightning might follow. Fresh bedding on suntanned (slight-

Fill a twoquart jar with cold water, and add tea bags of your choice–two if regular black tea, four if herbal. Tighten lid and place jar in a hot spot of sun for a minimum of four hours. Sweeten with sugar or honey–or don’t. Lots of varieties are great unsweetened. Chill in the fridge or pour over ice and serve immediately. Experiment with different combos of tea bags or add juice to create favourite flavours!) Reading sprawled on the lawn in the shade of a big tree. Reading on a blanket on the beach in the hot sun. Reading in my red lawn chair, able to spy on the street’s activity, hidden from view by my large jungly hedge. Reading when
the summer rain pounds down and a lively breeze streams in the open windows. Reading. How the dirt in my garden is warm, warm, warm to my weeding fingers’ touch. The prickly smell of tomato plants. The flirty, funny way people act in the sunshine. The romantic nostalgia of girls in sundresses and boys showing off in shorts. Glimpsing people who appear to have loved each other for many years walking hand in hand at dusk. The kiss of leather sandal insoles, worn smooth as satin under your foot, as you slide into them. Late night daylight! When the moon and the sun are visible at the same time. Driving down the highway with country music blaring. Camping. Hotdogs. Watermelon. Lemonade. Red wine around the bonfire. My cat’s sleepy-eyed squint as she luxuriates and lazes in the sun. “Why are you moving around like that?” her yawn seems to ask. Why indeed? The festive, fair-like atmosphere of the farmers market with its chatting, laughing crowds of young to old, huge array of desire-sparking arts and crafts, edible-looking soaps, funky jewelry, abundant produce, and stomach-rumble-inducing aromas. Oh, so many, many more things I could list … but I am out of space and it’s still light out. I’ve got to scoot! I wish you a month of sensational summer moments. May you revel in each detail with a wonderful sense of Ahhhh.

Search for missing Police end search dynamite called off for missing filmmaker RCMP CALLED off their search July 20 for two boxes of dynamite which were lost on a forest service road west of Terrace earlier last week. Three boxes, each containing 15 sticks of dynamite, apparently fell off a delivery truck belonging to Orica Canada, a division of a multinational company that makes explosives July 16. The third box was found on the road but there was no sign of the other two. At one point, up to 15 people, including 10 RCMP officers, were combing a section of the West Kalum Forest Service Road. Included in the search was an explosives-sniffing RCMP dog from Vancouver. “The RCMP’s search is concluded with negative results. Investigation is still ongoing,” said Constable Angela Rabut of the Terrace RCMP on July 20.
She described the terrain searched as very difficult. The boxes are marked with the name Power ProTM. Power Pro is nitroglycerin sensitized, extra gelatin dynamite formulated for use in surface and underground mining applications. It can be initiated by extreme instances of shock, friction or mechanical impact and therefore, extremely dangerous and should be handled with care, warn the RCMP. If the public comes across any boxes marked as described above, they are asked to leave the boxes where they are and immediately call the Terrace RCMP Detachment at 1-250-638-7400. A statement from Orica said it “is currently conducting a full investigation into this incident to determine its cause and any corrective actions to be taken.”
THE NEW Hazelton RCMP and BC search and rescue (SAR) teams from the northwest, northeast, southwest region and Vancouver Island have completed a thorough ground and air search of the area where 26-year-old Warren Andrew Sill was thought to be July 20. At that time, no sign of Sill has been found. “The Unified Command Team, comprised of the New Hazelton RCMP and BC SAR, with support from the North District RCMP
Warren Sill Air Services, RCMP Police Dog Services are suspending the current search effort. “Further search efforts will be considered should further
information be received that may assist in identifying other possible search areas,” stated Sgt. Jeff Pelley, the officer in charge of New Hazelton RCMP. The New Hazelton RCMP would continue to investigate Mr. Sill’s disappearance, he said. On July 10, New Hazelton RCMP received a complaint of an abandoned vehicle parked at Gull Creek. They identified the owner of the blue/grey Pontiac Torrent SUV, Ohio plate EGW1699, as Sill, who is from
Ohio. Police spoke to the family who stated their son was in the area to make a documentary on the Spirit Bear and they had last spoken to him July 4. RCMP confirmed the vehicle had been parked at the entrance of the Whiskey Creek Trail since July 5. Sill had told family and friends that he would be exploring for four or five days, but police then learned that Sill was not a seasoned outdoors man and therefore search and rescue was contacted.
Man steals carrot cake ON JULY 20, the loss prevention officer at Safeway arrested a 45-year-old man for theft of carrot cake. He is banned from the store. That same day, police arrested two men, ages 22 and 25, who had passed out on Hanson St. for public intoxication. They had been consuming unknown quantities of ecstasy and whiskey. The 25-year-old man was so intoxicated he was unresponsive. BC Ambulance transported him to Mills Memorial Hospital.
On July 19, someone stole the front licence plate from a police car parked at the Thornhill Daily Needs for another investigation. Attempts were also made to steal the rear licence plate. Officers located a 31-year-old man, who matched the description of the suspect, and arrested him for theft. Under investigation. In downtown Terrace, a collision between a 2012 black Chevrolet Equinox and a 2009 orange Dodge Caliber at Hwy 16 West and Ka-
lum St. caused extensive damage to both vehicles, which had to be towed. The 21-year-old driver of the Equinox was transported to hospital for assessment. On July 18, someone slashed the tires of seven vehicles parked at the Best Western Inn. Under investigation. Also on that day, the Walmart loss prevention officer arrested three boys, ages 15, 13, and 13, for theft. They were turned over to a guardian and are banned from Walmart.

The Kitsumkalum First Nation and CN Rail have reached a deal involving selling local rock and building a new rail spur from the CN tracks just west of Terrace. The rail spur will transport rock from the Kitsumkalumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarry located a few kilometres north of the tracks and rock will be purchased and picked up by CN. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CN is working with the Kalum Quarry Ltd. Partnership to build two tracks that will provide access to CNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main line to move product from their ballast pit in Terrace,â&#x20AC;? said Emily Hamer, spokesperson for CN Rail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Construction of grade for the tracks is currently underway and it is expected that the track will be in service to the quarry by this fall.â&#x20AC;? Building the actual rail spur will ideally start within a weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time, and grade work was finished last week, said Richard Inkster, who is the sales manager for the Kitsumkalum rock quarry. Before tracks can be laid, a small bridge will need to be built. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting a bridge in right behind Tempo Gas to get across the street,â&#x20AC;? said Inkster. The rail spur itself will shoot off the CN Rail tracks west of Terrace, cross Hwy16, and continue to the quarry where once built rail cars will be loaded with rock and gravel. Infrastructure for the spur, such as lights and gates on the highway, will be put in. The project stems from a deal reached years ago between CN and Kitsumkalum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole thing is all being paid for by the band council,â&#x20AC;? said Inkster, adding that he, personally, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the total project cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping this is going to create a lot of economic development for our reserve.â&#x20AC;? Inkster said that providing CN rock from the Terrace area was a good fit for both. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need a lot more rock then they have on hand right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheaper for them to haul it out of here than taking it from Prince George all the way to Prince Rupert.â&#x20AC;? But plans for the quarry donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop at the current CN deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a lot of research on the rock not just for the rail ballast but also for cement aggregate and some road base material that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to sell locally,â&#x20AC;? said Inkster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not for the rail line anymore.â&#x20AC;?

A RECORD number of teachers retired this year, signifying the beginning of a trend that will see more boomer teachers leaving their posts over the next few years. Cathy Lambright, head of the Terrace and District Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union, said that this year there were already close to 20 retirees. Normally, there are between three and five, and more teachers could decide to retire over the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a factor of how old weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the next few years we will continue to see an increase in this number.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite possible,â&#x20AC;? said Art Erasmus, chair of the Coast Moun-
tains school board, when presented with the record numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they started at the same time, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be retiring at the same time.â&#x20AC;? Lambright said the high number of retirees will be the new normal for the next few years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;... for the next two to three years, four years max, but then it will drop suddenly,â&#x20AC;? she said. The number of retirees is not part of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tally of lay-off notices, but it could affect which people who received lay-off notices will be shuffled to new positions in the district. This year, 62 teachers districtwide received notices, said school
board trustee Balwinder Rai. That figure only applies to teachers under continuing contracts and does not apply to temporary teachers or substitutes. By mid-month, 35 of those 62 notices were rescinded or recalled, leaving 27 positions to fill. But job numbers are â&#x20AC;&#x153;an ever changing landscape,â&#x20AC;? said Rai, noting that jobs are recalled throughout the summer and continually posted throughout the school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, the district still has jobs that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been offered or posted,â&#x20AC;? said Lambright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those jobs will be posted throughout the summer.â&#x20AC;?
Vacancies can still be created by people choosing to leave, to retire, or who go on leave for other reasons. This means the full composite of teacher lay-offs and retirees wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be known until the end of September. Lambright replaced Karen Andrews as head of the Terrace and District Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union last month. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an experienced member of the union executive and has just finished a stint as its treasurer. Andrews, who served two oneyear terms, is headed back to the classroom. The new vice president is Hel-
en McAskill who replaces Debra Thame. The change in executive comes at a time when the school is in the midst of closing Thornhill Junior Secondary, converting Skeena Junior Secondary to a middle school by transferring Grade 7 students there and, in turn, transferring Skeenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grade 10 students to Caledonia Senior Secondary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The closure of a school, the reconfiguration of all of the schools in Terrace/Thornhill except for two (Parkside and Thornhill Primary) and the move to the middle school model certainly adds to the challenge of staffing,â&#x20AC;? said Andrews.

RIVERBOAT 2012 DAYS PARADE
Strike saga By Anna Killen “GET BACK to the table and talk.” This was the message from a member of the British Columbia Nurses’ Union (BCNU) regional executive who joined the picket line at Shoppers Drug Mart to mark their 80th day of job action on July 19. Elaine Pigeau, a lobby coordinator with the BCNU, wanted to show her support for the striking workers of Shoppers Drug Mart. The Lakelse Shoppers Drug Mart has been on strike since May 1. Workers are asking for wage increases, as well as benefits and contract language improvements. “Eighty days is a long time,” said Pigeau, donning a yellow placard. “These are members of our community. It’s pretty hard to pay bills and put food on the table on strike pay.” The strike is long by B.C. standards, said Labour Relations Board representative Guy Pocklington. “The vast majority of collective agreement bargainings are done with no strike or lockout at all,” he said. “[This strike is] certainly much longer than strikes in B.C. usually last. They typically last a couple of weeks.” The latest round of talks between associate owner Barb Rea and the union, United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1518, held earlier this month, under the supervision of mediator Grant McArthur, ended with the employee membership rejecting the owner’s offer by a vote of 85 per cent. The union has so far not released how many of its members took part in the vote which resulted in the rejection. Following the vote, union tactics escalated, with a slew of anti-Shoppers radio ads and union leaders visiting Terrace to meet with members and jumpstart a leafletting campaign at the Park Ave. Shoppers Drug Mart, which Rea also owns and is not

ELAINE PIGEAU stands in solidarity with the striking Shoppers Drug Mart workers. unionized. A series of letters was also exchanged between Rea and UFCW counsel Chris Buchanan, with Rea saying the union mislead her during negotiations and the union firing back saying she should take her complaint to the labour board. Rea backed down from her accusations, saying in a letter she believed her concerns could be worked out at the bargaining table. To which the union responded by saying they were ready to return to the table immediately. The way the strike has been playing out here in Terrace, specifically the letter writing campaigns, is unusual, said Mark Leier, chair of the history department at Simon Fraser University. Leier is considered an expert on labour movements in B.C. “It doesn’t seem like the best technique if you’re serious about bargaining,” he said. “Lots of industry employers like to stall everything as long as possible,” he said. “In the case of a large corporation, they might be getting support from the mother company.” It is unclear what role Shoppers Drug Mart’s corporate division is playing in the strike, if any. Calls to the corporate office were not returned.

Rick Meijer however, if there is a local community function that our provincial president can present it at, we would consider this also.” The Air Cadet League of Canada and its BC Provincial Committee is the civilian organization that partners with the Department of National Defence to support and implement the air cadet program in B.C. and across Canada.

Optimist club makes its presence known A CLUB looking to get youths involved in community service is officially up and running. The Kermodei Optimist Club of Terrace became a chartered club July 1 with 15 members and are looking for more, said club president Dallis Winsor. “We’re here to add to the community,” he said, adding that the club wants to work with other service clubs in town. He plans to propose a challenge to other service clubs here and the club who wins will get to have the other groups help out on a community project it’s working on. At the beginning of the month, club members handed out safety colouring books, balloons and talked to a lot of adults, he added. And he had the help of two special guests Optimist international vice-
president Esthermarie Hillman from Arizona and Pacific Northwest district governor Bill French from Oregon. Winsor took his little bowler trailer to Kitimat to put in the Canada Day parade there, which helped establish the club’s presence, he said. “And one woman came up later wanting to know what the optometrists were doing there with a float,” he said. The club will do something similar for the upcoming Riverboat Days parade, he said. Right now, the club in the process of picking a community service project and a fundraiser to support it, he said. Without giving away too many details, Winsor said the fundraiser is probably going to involve a food of some kind at the farmers market here.

Watt drive: golfer tees off at Games By Samantha Garvey WHEN 15-YEAR-OLD Tanner Watt played his first round of golf, he was five years old with five clubs in his bag. Ten years later, he was the only Terrace golfer to compete in the B.C. Summer Games held last weekend. He was accompanied by over 60 other golfers from all over the province for the U16 age group. The group teed off at Hazelmere Golf and Country Club July 19 – 22 in Surrey, the hub of this year’s games. “I’m more excited than I am nervous,” Watt said, before departing for the games. “It should be fun.” He shoots a 12 handicap and marked down his personal best earlier this season: a 79 at the 72 par Skeena Valley Golf Course. This is the same course Watt first joined as a junior and where he started working in the pro shop at the start of this golf season. It is also the course where he has been practicing three to four days a week leading up to the provincial competition. “He’s the type of kid that once he takes something on, he’s focussed and he doesn’t do anything else,” said Tanner’s father Geoff Watt. It was obvious early on that Watt had a knack for the sport people love to hate. He started playing tournaments at 10 and took low-net for his age group, with a prize total of $100. An all-around athlete, in the winter he switch-
es to hockey and last year his team won bantam provincials with Watt at right wing. He also plays shortstop in the Terrace Minor Softball Association and last year played for the Kitimat Rockies. His family shares his sporting abilities. Two years ago, Geoff was assistant coach for the Zone 7 fast pitch team which Tanner played for. This year, Geoff is still coaching, but on the team is younger brother Conor, 13. The B.C. Summer and Winter Games have taken place every two years since 1978. The goal of the games is to promote “interest and participation in sport and sporting activities, individual achievement and community development,” according to the B.C. Games website. Geoff Watt explained that this zone’s success is hard-fought. “We’re a very small population base compared to the other zones,” he said. “There’s 100,000 people in our zone, Vanderhoof to Queen Charlotte. The Richmond-Delta zone is 1.2 million people.” But the reason to go is the experience. “It’s the friends you make,” said Geoff. “Some of these kids ... don’t have another opportunity to do something like that. “For me, that’s what it’s about. And if we do well, that’s a bonus.” The final results of the B.C. Summer Games were not available at press time, last Saturday. For an update of this article and a list of how all Terrace athletes did at the games, go to terracestandard.com.

■ Spike! VOLLEYBALL PLAYER Keel Haldane, 16, is the only athlete from Terrace to make Team BC. He will be in Kamloops training with 29 other 17/16U Western Elites until the end of the month. After that, he will travel to compete in the Western Elite Championships in Winnipeg later this summer.
The annual Skeena Valley Ladies Open was held July 6 - 9 at the Skeena Valley Golf Course. The event saw 44 women from Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert, Smithers and Burns Lake take part in the two-person team event. “A great time was had by everyone,” said Denise McGillivray, secretary of the Skeena Valley Ladies Club, of the weekend. “Good turnout, beautiful weather,” she said, noting the ladies fared better than the men, whose tournament earlier in the month was wet and soggy. McCarthy Motors sponsored the whole tournament and cosponsored the hole-in-one prize with Western Financial Group, which was not claimed this year. Hawkair, Don Diego’s, Lakelse Financial and Fountain Tire also donated prizes. Coranne Dohler of Smithers won the draw prize of a trip for
two to Las Vegas. Carol Shaeffer won the Accuracy prize of entry fee into next year’s tournament. Results for the tournament are as follows: Overall Low Gross: Janie Olson/Maureen Kinniburgh Overall Low Net: Vivian Brooks/Coranne Dohler A Flight Low Gross: Kathy Horcoff/ Susan Mackenzie 2nd Gross: Aina Peterson/ Carol Schaeffer 3rd Gross: Joy Stevenson/ Paige Wardrup Low Net: Fran Fraser/Bonnie Heagy 2nd Net: Lorraine Johnston/ Carol Teft 3rd Net: Kim Croot/Kasey Lewis B Flight Low Gross: Rose Holkestad/ Linda Ray Stevenson 2nd Gross: Cathy Stevens/ Barb Thomas

Northmen’s streak ends They say you can’t win ‘em all. And unfortunately, this saying rang true when the Terrace Northmen Rugby Club travelled to Prince George two weekends ago for a couple of games against their eastern rivals. “We ended up dropping both games,” said team member Adam Linteris. “It was a fun day of rugby but things didn’t really work out as we’d anticipated.” The Northmen, who have been having an excellent season, fell 33 - 12 in the first game and 28 - 17 in the second game, both against the Prince George Gnats. “Prince George is a really experienced team full of really big, hard-hitting forwards and some slick backs, so we definitely have our work cut out for us,” he said. Some other northwest teams, like Vernon and Williams Lake, were supposed to round out the tournament, but had to cancel their trips because they didn’t have enough players. Not having a full roster affected the Northmen and the team from Prince Rupert, as well. The two teams joined forces to form a full side because key players from both teams couldn’t attend. They played one game as the Northmen and one game as Prince Rupert. “Injuries and work basically kill our team around this point in the year,” said Linteris. “It would have been cool to see how our full squad would have done against a full or close to full ‘PG’ team. Would have been a great game.” Prince George actually had more players out than they normally see, a testament to the good weather and home field advantage. “Playing with Prince Rupert was definitely a good time for us,” said Linteris, noting that they didn’t have the chemistry that a group that has practised together all year would have. “They’re a good group of players and always play as hard as they possibly can, so what our team lacked in chemistry we made up for by playing hard.” In the first game, as the Northmen, top marks went to Jarryd Kurisu and Evan van Dyk. In the second game, as Prince Rupert, Josh Pottle and Steven Drozd won the Man of the Match awards. Next up, the rugby club will host their annual sevens tournament during Riverboat Days where the winning team will take home $1,000.
A
rod, a reel, a floating line, a leader, a spool of tippet, a box of flies containing two or three patterns (though you probably need only one), waders, a raincoat, and a hat, are all the gear required for summer steelhead fishing. For summer trout fishing the list is much longer. Trout fishing requires hatch matching; it demands fussing; it’s finicky to the point of irritation at times, but even at those moments, its rewards exceed its annoyances. As I sit, waiting for the light to change at the old bridge while watching the line of sockeye snaggers standing waist deep in turbid water off the uppermost tip of Ferry Island, I riffle through my mental list of trout paraphernalia, making sure I haven’t forgotten a vital bit. I always have three rods on board. I’ve forgotten wading boots and waders before, but no more. Now neither leaves the truck. There is always a raincoat, usually two, so that’s not a concern. My trout vest, with net attached, and a wading staff are kept aboard too, but it’s the minutiae, the stuff that an angler carries in his vest that must be replenished, and stuff that gets infrequent use that is easily forgotten. Stuff like fly floatant. Hugh gave me a new tube of makeup remover (the best fly floatant ever) which I recall sticking in a vest pocket. I put a caver’s lamp in the back pocket last

■ Flying high TERRACE ATHLETE Carly Davies had a strong showing at the B.C. Summer Games this year, held in Surrey, July 19 - 22. Competing in high jump, Davies cleared 1.45 metres, tying for 4th place overall. She also competed in girls 300-metre. At the end of last week, results from the games were still coming in. In a tight competition for the top spots, Mikayla Holmes tied for 5th in girls discus, while her teammate Summer Schulte came in 16th overall. In boys soccer, the team had a close first game against the Kootenays, falling 3 - 1, before being shut out by Fraser River Delta and Thompson-Okanagan in their next two matches. Athletes in the northwest face an uphill battle at the games, as our zone covers a large area, but has a much smaller population pool than zones in the south.

One fly
After five minutes of this nonsense, I wade to shore and snap the line then snip off the excess mess. Do I go or do I stay and attempt the daunting tasks of rebuilding the leader then tying on the fly? I stay. Knotting three feet of three pound test to the leader proves relatively easy since I can do it mostly by feel. Getting the spidery nylon through the eye of a #14 muddler is another matter. I’m at it for ten minutes, holding the fly at arm’s length, poking, missing, while fighting off frustration. Then, miraculously, it’s through. I got it! I crow to the dog. I tie the knot gingerly. I wade out far enough to ensure my back cast won’t catch the bankside vegetation then I pay out line slowly and send the muddler out for a swim. Minutes later a small fish grabs it. Don’t you swallow that thing, I think. It doesn’t. I grab the fly and twist it free. A few more six inch cutthroat, and a few more anxious moments; later a fish over twice that size nails the muddler. Knowing the chance of tying on another fly in the failing light of dusk is somewhere between slim and none, infuses the struggle with more excitement than it would have had under normal circumstances. I net the fish with great care and pluck the hook from its jaw. By nightfall four nice trout and somewhere around a dozen tads have mugged the little muddler. Enough fish to win my personal one-fly derby.
