$13 billion oil refinery proposed By Lauren Benn, Samantha Garvey, Anna Killen and Margaret Speirs DAVID BLACK, owner of Black Press Ltd., announced his intentions to build a state-ofthe-art $13 billion dollar oil refinery near Kitimat to process crude from the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline. Black owns 60 newspapers in B.C., including the Terrace Standard and Kitimat’s Northern Sentinel. His new company, Kitimat Clean Ltd., is submitting an environmental assessment application to build it.
He plans to foot the bill for the assessment which is expected to cost several million dollars. After that, he said investors would be needed to complete it, assuming both the refinery and the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline receive approval. Black announced his plans at a Vancouver press conference Friday, Aug. 18. He said the refinery’s construction would reduce environmental risks associated with the pipeline because tankers would be shipping refined fuels like gasoline off the north-
west coast instead of heavy Alberta crude. He hopes to begin construction in 2014, with construction concluding in 2016. He said the project would create roughly 6,000 construction jobs and 3,000 permanent jobs. The plant would be located at the industrial-zoned Dubose location, 25 kilometres north of Kitimat and 25 kilometres south of Terrace. The site is Crown land. The refined fuels would be piped 40 kilometres south to a property on the Douglas Channel, the same property Enbridge has proposed to use as its crude oil shipping terminal.
Black has yet to have serious discussions with local First Nations communities. The site is on Kitselas traditional territory and the marine terminal is in the traditional territory of the Haisla First Nation. “We remain hopeful that they, and all other communities along the coast, will agree to the proposal after a full and complete review,” he said. Black has been in discussion about the refinery with the province and Enbridge, among others, including the City of Terrace.

■ Heat wave RAINE AND Sierra Pazniko go for a paddle on Lakelse Lake August 16 when temperatures peaked at 29 C. Only two out of 16 days didn’t reach highs above 20 C in August this year, and temperatures peaked at 29.4 C, as of August 16. On August 16, 2011, 14 C was the high. For the month of August 2011, only seven out of 16 days topped 20 C.
Local gov’ts finance tax-share study By LAUREN BENN A $17,500 report is being commissioned by two local governments, which hope its recommendations will help bring provincial tax dollars collected from resource-based industrial projects back to the northwest. With foreseeable stresses to local infrastructure and services due
to an increase in project-related workers here, the report will serve as a tool local governments can use to lobby the province. The Regional Revenue Sharing Program is being commissioned by the City of Terrace and Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine and it ideally will travel with locally elected officials to a fall Union of British Columbia Municipalities
(UBCM) convention where lobby efforts will take place. The report is being commissioned from consulting firm Harris Palmer. The intent behind seeking a share of provincial tax revenue leveraged from regional industry is to help ease the financial burden an increasing population will pose on municipal
purses, especially with resourcebased industries being located outside city boundaries. Similar to what is being sought, northeastern B.C. currently has a fair-share program where municipalities and regional districts collected $35.3 million from oil and gas sector tax revenues this year. The report commissioned will argue a business case for why a
fair-share program should be in place here, said Terrace Mayor Dave Pernarowski. “We’re only talking about looking at new development,” he said, noting the province already plans how to spend the tax revenues it is already earning. “This is not a tax grab,” Pernarowski continued.

Woman runs for a green cause By Samantha Garvey KIM SLATER ran her first marathon on June 10 of this year. Then she ran 29 more, totalling the length of Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline. That length is no coincidence. Slater is running for her campaign, Band Together B.C., which aims to share stories and ideas related to tar sands alternatives and raise awareness for developing a national clean energy strategy. On Aug. 13, Slater took a day of rest in Terrace, stopping by city hall to invite council into the cleanenergy conversation. Council agreed to sign letters endorsing the need for a clean energy strategy in Canada – but they’re far from the only local government body asked to sign on. Her aim is not only to encourage dialogue about clean energy, but to eventually lead to the building of a na-
Kim Slater tional energy strategy, which she said Canada is behind on, as many other countries already have one in place. The new energy vision Slater’s campaign would like to see would address energy security, jobs and prosperity, and climate change. This part of Slater’s journey has been to reach as many community groups and government representatives as she can. “There are crises so daunting and big that you are paralyzed with fear. We need to activate people,� she said.
When Slater decided to do a marathon in January of this year, she needed motivation beyond running a good time. “I never thought I would run a marathon,� said Slater. She said she thought about ways that she would motivate herself to train and the answer was connecting her run to issues she cares about. At the same time, she was wondering what action she could take to develop clean energy in Canada. “The Northern Gateway Pipeline is one of many proposals ... if it goes through would change the face of the north,� she said. “The more I read about (Enbridge), the economics, the communities, First Nations, the environment, I learned it was a risky proposal with nothing to gain.� Slater then started a blog. “But I thought ‘No one cares if I run one marathon. It needs to be bigger than that.�
She came up with the idea to trek across B.C.’s north and posted her story on indiegogo.com, a campaign fundraising platform in which people who want to raise money can tell their story, set a funding target and earn financial support. Her story was wellreceived. She raised $15,000 in approximately 60 days. Then she bought a support vehicle, a Delica van converted to run on waste vegetable oil. Her fuel has been 100 per cent donated. The journey began, but involved is much more than running. At each stop along the way, Slater has been connecting with community members and leaders through forums, running together, or city council presentations, like the one she made to Terrace. “I want to cross-pollinate ideas from community to community,� she said. Slater added she
is not only concerned with the environmental impacts of the Northern Gateway Proposal, but that public participation and feedback is being denied. “I feel that the democratic process has been stripped away,� she said. “I wanted to foster public participation, because it’s being taken away.� Slater is 32, born in Guelph Ont. but has lived in B.C. for many years. After the running is over, “the next step is the real work,� she said. Slater said she plans to share the narrative and all the material she’s obtained through her run with national leaders. She added that she also plans to continue growing the network she’s already established and continue connecting people. And she plans to do it all with a sense of optimism. “I have absolute faith in grassroots
movements,� Slater said. “That’s where the action happens. Municipal governments make decisions that are going to affect people.� Terrace was one municipal government engaged by Slater’s presentation. Councillor Marylin Davies commended Slater on her efforts and Mayor Dave Pernarowski ran alongside Slater when she made her way through Terrace Aug. 15. “I’m humbled by
your efforts to bring attention (to Northern Gateway Pipeline),� said Councillor Bruce Bidgood at the Aug. 13 council meeting. He added that he thought any National Energy Strategy should include domestic control of Canada’s resources, to which Slater agreed. Slater’s last run took her into Prince Rupert on Aug. 21. “This is a historic moment. It’s now or never to act,� she said.

A history of oil tankers and B.C.’s coast
WHETHER OR not a ban on oil tanker traffic exists off B.C.’s north coast is up to political interpretation. This issue was recently raised as Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project was served onto the springtime-provincial-election court — marked here by a recent visit from B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix. Dix toured the Douglas Channel, tracing the route oil tankers would take to pick up raw bitumen from the pipeline, according to Enbridge’s current proposal. The trip’s timing set the field for Dix to criticize an announcement by Premier Christy Clark of the five pipeline preconditions, that she made a week prior to his trip. Dix said one of the preconditions, that “a world-leading marine oil spill prevention, response and recovery system” must be in place for the province to consider project support, effectively abandons a decades-old ban on oil tanker traffic that exists in north coast waters. If an ocean oil spill needs cleaning up, that means tankers were allowed to travel there in the first place, he said. “The fact is there haven’t been supertankers carrying crude or bitumen in the region,” said Dix. “That’s not an accident. That’s been policy.” But others disagree. “There is no moratorium on tankers entering British Columbia ports,” said B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake in April 2011, after the province was asked by the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) to support a tanker traffic ban in northwestern waters. The federal government has also stated their position on whether a ban exists. “It is the Government of Canada’s position that there is presently no moratorium

oil and gas exploration off the coast as well. Then, from 1984 to 1986, the provincial and federal governments once again considered lifting the exploration moratorium and conducted analyses of offshore oil and gas drilling. The results stated that exploration could proceed subject to 92 recommendations. From 1986 to 1989, the two governments negotiated the management of such exploration. Then, just after midnight, March 24, 1989, 43 million litres of crude oil from the Exxon Valdez tanker spilled into the Prince William Sound and onto the shores of southern Alaska. This effectively put a stop to exploration off B.C.’s coast. Five days after the spill, B.C. announced there would be no offshore drilling for at least five years and the federal government announced it would not consider offshore drilling again unless requested by the province. That request was made by B.C., almost exactly five years later. In 2004, the Government of Canada indeed commissioned a three-part report on oil and gas exploration; a science review, a public review and a First Nations engagement. One conclusion of the science review stated that the present moratoria should be maintained: “Even with the improved record of spills in territorial waters off North America over the last 10 years, there is no imperative to relax this restriction.” The results of the public review presented four options, with 75 per cent of British Columbians in favour of maintaining the moratoria. Since the three reports were published, the government has taken no action with regard to any recommendations.
1989- B.C. government extends offshore drilling moratorium another five years.
“... The issue before was not tankers. It was whether to allow oil and gas exploration. So that’s what the (2004) panel looked at,” said O’Rourke. “The question about tanker traffic would have arisen down the road if the decision had been made to ship it.” Although the expectation is now to transport crude oil in B.C.’s waters, a new report has not been commissioned.
Differing Interpretations More recently, in December of 2010, Cullen passed a motion to the House of Commons similar to the unofficial 1972 ban, as an attempt to put it into law. It read “the Government should immediately propose legislation to ban bulk oil tanker traffic in the Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound as a way to protect the west coast’s unique and diverse ocean ecosystem ...” It was passed 143 to 138 in the House of Commons but was non-binding. Since then parliament has not acted on the matter. “What the motion did was express the will of parliament,” Cullen said. “The prime minister said the will of parliament should be respected, but he ignored it completely.” Other motions and private member’s bills have been introduced with the same message. The most recent is Bill C-211 proposed by NDP MP Finn Donnelly, the preamble for which states “transporta-

tion of oil in oil tankers in certain areas of the sea adjacent to the coast of Canada poses a risk to the marine environment.” Cullen said that if the legislation were passed, it would absolutely put a stop to the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. At around the same time Cullen’s motion was approved, the UBCM resolution to ban crude oil tanker traffic was received by the provincial and federal governments. In responding to UBCM, the federal government made clear what its intentions are with respect to the bill to ban tanker traffic: “This proposal (Bill C-211) aims to prevent the Northern Gateway pipeline from proceeding ... The Government intends to await the Joint Review Panel’s report and recommendations before making a decision on the project,” was the Ministry of Natural Resources response in April 2011. In response to statements by the current provincial and federal governments saying that no ban exists, Dix said they’re dancing on a technicality. “Two governments that support Enbridge are now saying it doesn’t exist. Effectively, they’ve lifted it.” he said. “I’m curious to know when it was lifted.” The B.C. Ministry of Environment maintains its position on a tanker traffic ban. “There is no moratorium on B.C.’s coast,” was the reply from ministry staff.

EDITORIAL
A nuisance Akin to the parental instinct to protect one’s child, the province of British Columbia has created laws to protect municipalities – the offspring of its Local Governments Act. One purpose of this act is to “provide a legal framework and foundation for the establishment and continuation of local governments to represent the interests and respond to the needs of their communities,” as described in section one. But a peek down to section 288 tells a different story. In Terrace, an example of section 288 in action involves a local woman and her finished basement which was recently destroyed by a leaky city-owned pipe. Ten thousand bucks and some elbow grease later, Tonya Stenquist was denied a claim to recover her losses by the city’s liability insurers. Why? In the words of the Municipal Insurance Agency’s (MIA) executive director Tom Barnes, “We can only pay when the city has got a legal obligation to make a payment.” Section 288 states the city is not required to pay for damages caused by specific infrastructure, like a leaky pipe, arising from nuisance — a tort arising from infringement on someone’s enjoyment of their property. Note, in this case, it is the city’s liability insurance company protected by this law. In Terrace, MIA is paid $64,000 of taxpayer’s money yearly. The city cannot respond to the needs or interests of its community here thanks to section 288. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

8 lessons for painting your homestead
P
ainting my kitchen taught me many things I want to remember in case I paint another time. My redecoration is not yet complete. At the moment a cord of books are stacked along one side of the table until I paint the bookshelf to match the walls. To make sure I had enough paint to cover all walls I left the shelves until last. And that is lesson #1. Do things in proper sequence. A few minutes spent figuring the sequence can save moving the ladder back to an area you thought you had finished, keep you from touching a wet painted surface, and lessen the chaos. #2. Painters’ tape can be used twice if you apply the tape flat from the roll and don’t press down the free edge. You’ll have a wider barrier, flat tape conforms better to corners and curves, and the tape will be easier to remove. Otherwise you might need tweezers to lift and grab a free edge when the time comes to strip the tape. If you let the paint on the tape dry before you remove it, you can use the clean edge to tape another length of wall or floor.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Should you strip the tape as soon as you’re done painting that space, or leave it longer? Remove the tape immediately if you feel the need to check for any “bleed”. But if you do, you could be handling messy wet paint which will get all over your fingers and may smudge any surface you accidentally touch. #3. Toothpaste makes a handy filler before you paint if, like me, you can’t find your can of DryDex. I filled two screw holes with toothpaste and my painter covered both repairs without recognizing them. Later, though, when I found the DryDex, I dug out the toothpaste and filled the

mother tied an Aunt Jemima tea towel over her hair. #5. This has to do with storage A 5 kg. box from Quick Quaker Oats makes a fine filing cabinet insert to hold files upright and spaced for easy retrieval or re-filing. First use 2” wide clear tape to seal the box closed. With a sharp, 3/4” wide Olfa knife divide the box into halves cutting the widest side from top to bottom. Tape over the cut flaps to hold them together, fitting the tape from one inside edge out over the cut and back down on the outside. This keeps the end flaps of the box smooth so file folders won’t snag sliding in. You can leave six inches between the boxes for further filing ease. #6. Before storing any leftover paint, label the can with any mixing recipe. If you must buy more later, you will know the exact shade. #7. Store all painting equipment together -- brushes, rollers, paint tray, roller holder and extender handle, #8. A small can of DryDex, a metal drywall trowel, and a flat screwdriver to replace the butter knife would make a fine gift for a do-ityourselfer.

holes with proper spackling. The DryDex goes on pink, and turns white when it is dry enough to sand smooth. Toothpaste also makes an excellent glue to hang kids’ drawings. Years ago I put up four of my granddaughters’ drawings on the wall under the kitchen cupboards. Following a magazine tip, I used a blob of toothpaste on the back of each corner. It held as well as Holdit putty adhesive. When I pulled off the drawings all I had to do was scrub the toothpaste off until no mark was left on the wall. The drawings didn’t tear. The blobs did soak through on the drawings. In future, I would first glue a two inch square of heavy paper on each back corner of the drawing to prevent the toothpaste showing through. By rounding off the corners of the drawing now I could preserve them if I wish. #4. Whether to paint in horizontal tiers side to side, or from top to bottom or from bottom to top in stripes, depends. Which will have you moving the ladder the least? Will you touch your hair in the paint when you stoop to fill your brush? Here being bald has an advantage. My

The Mail Bag We hear your DriveABLE concerns: minister Dear Sir: I am writing to address concerns raised by one of your readers about the accessibility of the DriveABLE program in the North (Seniors don’t support DriveABLE, online July 23). We have heard and responded to concerns about both program accessibility and delivery. DriveABLE assessments are now available in 19 locations, four more than last year, and we will continue to add more locations in additional communities, including northern areas. It’s worth noting that, based on 2010 volumes, only about 1,500 B.C. drivers are required to take a DriveABLE assessment each year. In many northern communities, the number of clients referred
for DriveABLE assessments is very small. We recognize the need to ensure drivers can take the assessment as close as possible to their home communities. And, as noted above, we are responding by continuing to look at new potential locations. However, a complicating factor is that DriveABLE requires capacity for in-office assessment and on-road evaluations with specialized cars and trained staff. We’ve also heard that some seniors felt anxious about taking the in-office DriveABLE assessment, which is presented on a touch screen. In response, we’ve changed the process so people who do not pass this assessment can take a secondary DriveABLE on-road evaluation. Final deci-
sions are based on a combination of the two, plus medical information from the client’s doctor. We believe DriveABLE is a key tool in determining a driver’s cognitive ability necessary for safe driving. The DriveABLE assessment is scientifically based, it’s been used in B.C. since 2005, and it’s used in jurisdictions across North America. Our government is committed to ensuring an accessible, open process to assess driver safety. It is my goal to help seniors drive as long as they possibly can safely do so, and to ensure our assessment processes are as respectful as possible.

We must slow our carbon footprint and change our ways Dear Sir: Thank you Malcolm Baxter for initiating the debate on the change to the world’s climate! Malcolm posed the question: Is it human caused or is it a long-term cyclical phenomenon that is behind the dramatic climate events that are happening on world wide scale. Before diving into that tussle it is worthwhile to point out some of the dramatic climate occurrences and records that have been broken over the past year. In the heartland and breadbasket of the United States where most of that countries corn is grown,
along with other grains and crops, recorded the highest July temperatures ever in what I would estimate is about one third of the U.S. The corn and other crops will for the most part be lost this year. Saskatchewan this year has likely broken its all time record for the annual number of tornadoes. Golf ball size hail fell on Calgary on Aug. 12 for about half an hour causing an incredible amount of damage to vehicles and properties. The weather in the Prairie provinces this summer is the worst ever recorded in terms of major weather
events. The average number of events since records have been filed is 225 and so far for this summer the number is at 425 all because of the wetter and hotter than normal spring and summer which causes the strong winds, hail storms, thunder and lightning storms and tornadoes. The hot dry weather and the drought in Ontario this summer is the longest and harshest since the 1950’s, breaking many all time records. Likely little corn will be harvested and other crops will be a
fraction of their normal harvest. Over 4000 weather records were broken in the U.S. over the past year. Major floods have taken place around the world this year and snow fell in South Africa during the first week of August, the first time in 50 years. Eighty centimetres of rain or about 32 inches fell in Japan on July 13 and 14 of this year. Compare that with our record rainfall for Terrace which happened during late October 1978 when nine inches fell over a 24 hour period.
Of greatest significance is that half of the polar ice sheet has been lost since 2004 and the climate science community is predicting that most of the remaining sheet will disappear in 12 years. All of this has happened in a much shorter time frame than they had originally estimated. Stephen Hume, the Vancouver Sun columnist, wrote a very interesting article in the Vancouver Sun on Aug. 10 titled “Climate skeptics turn into believers”.

Trouble for baby boomers is looming
A
s each day goes by we grow a day older and a day closer to retirement. Today, approximately 10,000 baby boomers (born 1945 to 1960) are exiting the workforce and will do so for the next two decades. As a group, they are the wealthiest, most active, most physically fit, and most optimistic generation of all time. Through their lifetime, boomers fostered a huge array of opportunities, stabilized the workforce, survived periods of high and low economic surges, indulged in a gourmet of consumables, and developed countless products. Boomers differ from the groups that followed them. Generation X, (1960 to 1980) is a diverse, educated generation, with both sexes focused on achieving gratifying employment. They are less interested in politics or world affairs, are focused on material growth and credit purchasing, and either have no children or started their small families at an older age. Generation Y (born 1981 to
present) are known for their appetite for communications, media, and digital technologies, they have a strong need to be plugged in, are “me” centered and carry a large debt load. Boomers on the other hand are an innovative generation of achievers and hard workers that dominated our society, not only by their population, but also by their leadership and conviction. As the world has changed, this large group of up-and-coming retirees has evolved the process of work and retirement. Boomers are born from a generation that was known for working to the grave, but they have become the generation that now considers pre-retirement and semi-retirement alongside a fixed retirement age of 65. Many boomers bought into retirement plans in the hopes of securing a comfortable nest egg for just that. But today those plans are frustrated by diminishing returns and negative growth. Many company pension plans have dissolved, as boomers have become the victims
of empty payout promises. With more accumulated savings per head than any generation, investment shortfalls and inflation costs are quickly sucking out their

DIANA PENNER reserves. For those without reserves, government pensions like the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) offer those Canadian workers over age 65 a combined average monthly
income of $1039.09 per person, top this up with a Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and qualifying retirees will take home about $1375. Not a big chunk of cash. According to Stats Canada in 2009, 84 per cent of retirees can afford to cover their costs. Sixteen per cent cannot. The average woman in Canada will spend 21 years in retirement, men will spend 15. Thirty-four per cent of boomers carry debt. While half of those claim their debt is under $25,000. As boomers age, health care costs are forcing some to choose medication or care over food. For the first time, food banks and shelters are seeing increased numbers of seniors using their services as they face poverty issues. Generation X and Y report increased numbers of long-term diseases that are overburdening our health care system. As a result, seniors wait in line for their needs behind those who are younger. The wait reduces their ability to remain active as well as di-
minishes their chance for quick recovery. As boomers retire they take with them an expertise and work ethic that is not as evident in their replacements. Assisted living and seniors care facilities are understaffed due to a lack of skilled personnel. The need for care coupled with the lucrative cash flow of many seniors has perpetuated a surge of private high-priced services and facilities that are expensive and selective. With a shortage of assisted living facilities and a move by government to promote home care over institutional care, boomers are encouraged to remain in their homes. As boomers age the risk of falls, isolation, and unmonitored care increases. Reports indicate that boomers are now targets for abuse, neglect, home invasion, and various money grabbing marketing schemes. Age friendly communities are working with seniors to address these issues. How are we doing?

Black proposes refinery here He met with Terrace city council, which is on record as opposed to the Northern Gateway Pipeline proposal and its resulting heavy oil tanker traffic, July 24. “At this time, we don’t know enough about the project to comment one way or another about it,” said Terrace Mayor Dave Pernarowski in an email statement. “But we look forward to working with Mr. Black in the future and engaging with our citizens regarding any major investments that could create jobs and help grow our amazing city,” Pernarowski added. Councillor Bruce Bidgood, also in attendance at the meeting, said the reaction from council was one of “shock and cautious optimism,” noting the economic possibilities for Terrace that would come with a project of this size. “Many people would
love to have a job here in Terrace,” he said. “It’s my understanding that shipping refined oil products is much more safe that shipping bitumen,” Bidgood said. “It mitigates some of the marine risk.” But the prospect of a refinery still doesn’t address concerns with regards to safely transporting bitumen from Alberta to the refinery site, he said. On the same trip to Terrace, Black met with Kitselas Chief Councillor Judy Gerow. “We just discussed the possibility of this refinery being located on Kitselas traditional territory,” said Gerow about the meeting. “We didn’t talk about partnership. “We don’t want to go there now.” Nor do the Kitselas want to make any statement about endorsement. “We are still conducting the independent
study (on the pipeline) so I think it would be too soon.” Gerow said there were various environmental concerns raised. “We did bring up a lot of concerns with things like ... salmon spawning streams,” she said. “I think with any type of project that’s going to bring jobs to this area is exciting but you have to be careful what the impacts are going to be.” And taking impacts into consideration, Greg Knox, executive director for SkeenaWild Conservation Trust, doesn’t think an oil refinery will change northwestern opposition to the Northern Gateway Pipeline. “The issues around pipeline spills will remain the same and I don’t think that First Nations and a lot of people in local communities will want to risk their water and salmon for some jobs that we might have for 30 or 40 or 50
years and then they’re gone,” said Knox. “We have significant industries built around salmon and also people within the local community depend on [salmon for] food.” Another reason is that many people live here because of the amazing natural surroundings, he added. “This sounds like we want to turn the northwest into an industrial complex similar to large parts of Alberta and I don’t think that’s what B.C. [residents] want,” he said. But Skeena - Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen says he would “be very, very surprised” to see plans by Black to construct an oil refinery in the Kitimat-Terrace area come to fruition. “It’s another chapter in a story that is increasingly becoming more and more ridiculous. This wasn’t in Enbridge’s plans, it’s not in China’s
plans, it’s not in the prime minister’s plans so I don’t know where it came from ... He’s making an announcement with no money, no local support and no support from First Nations so it is very hard to take seriously,” he said. “There is a reason nobody is backing this ... For a newspaper baron to say how the oil industry should be running when nobody in the oil industry is doing this themselves is ridiculous,” added Cullen. Cullen also said an oil refinery would change the whole discussion around the Enbridge
project, as the application for the environmental assessment is for the shipment of raw oil and bitumen. “This just makes the project look ridiculous and makes it look desperate,” he added. And Skeena MLA Robin Austin added that the refinery proposal doesn’t change much about Enbridge’s pipeline proposal. “Whether it’s a refinery or terminal, we’ve still got the danger of transporting diluted bitumen oil ... all the way from Alberta to here that poses all kinds of risks,” he said.
He also pointed out the refinery is just an idea, nothing more. “Something that costs $13 billion requires, I would imagine, a large industry partner to come in with expertise and the kinds of capital necessary to build something like this and that wasn’t there,” he continued. But Austin did say he agreed with Black’s intention to create value added jobs here, meaning jobs arising from processing raw resources on home base before export. “I think in that sense it will certainly get a big debate going,” he said.

BUSINESS REVIEW Select logging sees success By Lauren Benn A LOCAL company is seeing success after trying out an alternative to clear-cut logging. Kalum Ventures Ltd, the forestry division of the Kitsumkalum Band’s economic arm, has been using selective logging practices for four cumulative months. Now, the company is seeing logs cut with this method off on ships to China despite a market that has softened for northwestern logs. The practice involves falling trees in select areas of a cutting permit, instead of clear cutting a large section. “Instead of cutting all the trees, we’re taking patches,” said Lyle Bolton, general manager with Kalum Ventures. “We call them pods.” Kalum Ventures currently has two active permits on which it is select logging, 80 hectares in the Alice Creek area and 34 hectares near the old Kitsumkalum Ski Hill area. In each permit, select logging practices seek to harvest 30 to 40 per cent of the volume within a particular permit zone. Volume is harvested by falling pods of trees within a permit zone that are no larger that three quarters of a hectare each, explained Bolton. Those pods, either square or rectangular in shape, measure between 50 to 100 metres along their sides. The next trick for select logging is to choose patches of trees containing the highest quality — or most saleable quality — of wood within their profile, which is the makeup of types of trees and quality of wood in a specific area. Pods are also chosen for the ease at which trees will fall, and safety to the fallers, said Troy Sam, field tech with Kalum Ventures. Fallers will “walk the block” to select areas, marking future pods with tape so that they can be easily found when its time to log. “We’ve been able to pull out the best wood,” said Bolton, pointing to a stack of logs pulled onto a service road from a pod located six kilometres north from the Kitsumkalum Band office. Bolton added that select logging allows Kalum Ventures to take only what is needed, allowing trees to keep growing until a marker for them comes available. However, on each permit, the clock starts ticking once the first stick of wood is cut. Permit times last four to five years, he ex-

Kalum Ventures began select logging practices in October 2011, cutting until the first snowfall and resuming in June this year. The company bought a truck, cat and winch for the venture, which has created three full-time positions. “We haven’t lost money,” said Bolton. “We’ve been selling our wood to a broker that’s been selling to China.”
And Rick Brouwer of the Skeena Nass Centre for Innovation Economics (SNCIRE) says since the Chinese market for northwestern logs has softened, that’s pretty good. “Basically, there’s a very limited marketplace right now,” said Brouwer. “There’s some (logs) moving, but not as much as last year or years ago. “Pretty much everybody is quiet right now,” Brouwer said of northwestern logging operations..
But what has been working for Kalum Ventures, with which SNCIRE has been working as a consultant, is the low-cost and low-volume model behind select logging practices, said Brouwer. “Selection logging is slow and doesn’t produce a lot of volume,” he said, adding that orders from Kalum Ventures can go to top up existing orders being made from elsewhere, and that smaller shipments are viable because of lower operating costs.
Airport passenger numbers are up, again PASSENGER STATISTICS at the airport are up once again, with the total number of passengers for July marking the seventh consecutive month with traffic numbers higher than last year. While there was a slight dip in June, resulting in about 200 fewer passengers than there were this past May, July’s total was 12,682 – up from 11,229 in 2011 at the Northwest Regional Airport.
The total number of passengers that came through the airport this year is 77,230, already higher than the January to June 2011 total of 65,758. “Our calendar year is up 17 per cent from last year,” said airport manager Carman Hendry. “And our fiscal year – which runs April through March – is up 17 per cent as well.” He said the total passenger
numbers for 2012 are expected to hit 125,000. Airport officials are chalking this up to increased industry work in the area, according to Hendry. Hendry cited the Kitimat Modernization Project, Apache work, the Northwest Transmission Line, and mining up north as industrial projects bringing workers to the Terrace area. Hawkair and Air Canada Jazz
have both added an extra flight this year, he said. The airport itself hasn’t made any major changes to operations aside from expanding the longterm parking lot. “We now have about 90 stalls,” he said. “We’re still looking for funding to increase the size of our apron (aircraft parking) for future expansion,” he added.
There were three flights missed in July, more than any other month this year. These were mechanical issues with planes in Vancouver and did not have anything to do with airport activities here, explained Hendry. Usually, June and July are down compared to the other months so this year is definitely an anomaly, said Hendry.

Camper destroyed in electrical fire A FIRE in a recreational vehicle could’ve been much worse if it had ignited the nearby residence at the corner of Walsh Ave. and Sparks St. Aug. 16. The camper’s owner, who was renting the house, and a friend were taking a break from working on the fence around the backyard and went into the camper in the driveway, said Terrace fire chief John Klie. One of them plugged the vehicle’s fridge into an extension cord that led to an outlet in the house and noticed that it sparked a bit but figured it was an old camper and had done that before, said Klie. The men got out of the camper and a while later noticed smoke and called the fire department, he added. Although the men had been smoking, the fire department is ruling it as an electrical fire related to the fridge and not due to cigarettes being disposed improperly, said Klie. “That’s what we’re leaning towards (electrical fire) because everything goes that way,”
he said. The camper, which hadn’t been used in a while, was destroyed and flames scorched the outside of the car port and the fence, he added. A quick response by the fire department ensured that the blaze didn’t spread to the residence, said Klie. “A couple more, maybe two minutes at the most, and the shed (car port) would’ve caught fire,” said Klie, adding that from there, the car port could’ve ignited and if flames had spread into the roof, it would have been a different story. Firefighters spent about an hour and a half extinguishing the flames and ensuring the blaze was out. Klie said he recommends that people take a good look at all the electrical and gas appliances in their trailers and campers and if something looks wrong, to have a qualified person look at it. ◆ ◆ ◆ A fire deliberately set at Cassie Hall was doused immediately thanks to the school’s

rived, there was just smoke. “It just kept to the mattress and wall with very little fire damage and next to no heat dam-

ere we go again. Just when I thought the debate over whether or not to raise steelhead in hatcheries was dead and gone, the voice of unreason is heard once more. The provincial government’s Steelhead Stream Classification Policy (SSCP) is up for review. The opportunity for the public to offer up its two cents expires on the 31st of this month. Hearing of this golden opportunity, Mike Langegger, the BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF) president of that organization’s Region 6, is exhorting his presidential cohort to pump up their PCs and provide comments to those bureaucrats charged with the well being of steelhead. Among other things, Langegger pushes the “positive results” of hatchery augmentation, citing the Kitimat hatchery as a shining example. Before I challenge the notion of artificial enhancement for steelhead, a little context is required to help understand from whence Langegger and his likeminded BCWF cronies are coming. As Jim Culp likes to remind me, back in the days when the terms environmentalist and ecology weren’t in anyone’s lexicon and few understood the importance of wildlife habitat – a time when proposed open pit mining and hydro dams were all the rage – the BCWF did yeoman’s work in defence of rivers, forests and the creatures therein. For the most part, the orga-

Since wildlife no question there would hasn’t been planted, it have been far more dams can’t be harvested. than there are had it not You should now be been for the BCWF. able to appreciate why The term wildlife Langegger is promoting federation is actually hatcheries – hatcheries a misnomer.

population wild stocks – was a viable strategy. It concluded that the practise entailed demographic, genetic (fitness), ecological, and disease risks and uncertainties. Bill Bakke, a biologist with numerous prestigious awards for conservation, and the director of Native Fish Society, has battled against hatcheries in Washington and Oregon for the last 40 years, puts things directly. “Hatchery fish are toxic,” says Bill. Studies demonstrate time and again that hatchery fish produce 50 percent fewer eggs than wild fish when they spawn in the wild, and that behaviours that help fish thrive in hatcheries make them less successful in the wild. They are simply less genetically fit to survive than the wild steelhead, evolved over millennia to thrive in the specific stream where they were born. “Fish are not interchangeable. They can’t be manufactured like brown shoes.” “Hatcheries are the goose that laid the golden egg for the government agencies,” says Bakke. Hatchery funding comprises the majority of the fish agencies’ budgets. All that for a product that not only is counterproductive, but wasteful. Columbia River summer steelhead, for example, cost $453 per fish to produce at Irrigon Hatchery. When we fished together five years ago, Bill was unequivocal. Hatchery fish, he said, are the greatest threat to the remaining wild stocks in the western US states.

Regional tax-share study commissioned “It’s more about making sure that as those dollars flow in, some will remain in the communities being impacted,” Pernarowski said. Once complete, the report will identify ways the province can share new revenues with northwestern local governments. “We feel it would be very beneficial to have an actual document,” said Pernarowski about arming efforts with a report. “It’s really less administration for the province if you look at it from their side.” The city and regional district have teamed up to create a stronger regional negotiating voice. “It’s more effective if we come in as a region,” said Pernarowski. The $17,500 cost of the document will be split between the City of Terrace and the region-
al district, and should a $5000 grant come through from Northern Development Initiative Trust, that amount will be subtracted from the total amount. The city was initially approached by the Kitimat Terrace Industrial Development Society (KTIDS) and Terrace’s Economic Development Authority (TEDA) with the idea to create a document, said Roger Harris, partner of Harris Palmer and one of directors of KTIDS. “We moved on it quite quickly,” said Pernarowski, adding it fell in line with a motion submitted by the city to UBCM advocating a share of tax revenues. “Timing was important.” The proposal was dealt with in a private meeting with council as it was a business matter being discussed, said Pernarowski.
“The overall goal is really to identify the kinds of things that you could attach revenue sharing to,” said Harris, “and then look at it in the context of what’s going on in the northwest today.” Harris explained that having a document like this is strategic. “If (the province) is
saying ‘no’ to us, the no is because it’s not the political will to do it, not because (the province) can’t,” said Harris. The pitch included areas of research that will be needed for a strong case. They include five things. First, a review of provincial revenue sources
outside of personal and corporate tax. Second, a review of how the province distributes some of its revenues to local governments, regional districts and First Nations. Third, an analysis of revenue sharing programs in place provincially and nationally.
Fourth, identifying current and planned business expansion in the northwest with a focus appropriate projects or sectors for a revenue sharing program. And finally, recommendations and rationale for sharing that could be presented to the province. Pernarowski said
Harris Palmer comes with good credentials, and a repertoire of work already including northwestern agencies and businesses. Harris was Liberal MLA for the Skeena riding until 2005, where he was defeated by NDP MLA Robin Austin after one term in office.
Police warn Nass about prowler LISIMS/NASS VALLEY RCMP are warning the public about a nighttime prowler roaming around the village of New Aiyansh.

Spencer Owen of Lisims/Nass Valley RCMP. The prowler is described by police as
wearing dark clothing and a mask or hood and reports suggest this person is carrying or monitoring a hand-held VHF radio. Police continue to investigate to locate and identify this person and the public’s assistance is required. The public is asked to report any suspicious people, vehicles, or occurrences as soon as they are seen and to call police.

Enbridge vote coming to Regional District BOARD MEMBERS of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine (RDKS) will be voting about whether or not to support Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipeline project September 21. This came after a surprise motion was introduced at the end of the last RDKS meeting August 10 by elected board member David Brocklebank, who represents the Telegraph Creek electoral district. The motion, which asked board members whether or not to “oppose Enbridge” came as a surprise as Brocklebank brought it up at the meeting’s end without first giving notice to other board members. It was delayed by city councillor and RDKS director Bruce Bidgood, who said he feared the motion’s meaning would be lost upon a convoluted conversation that followed. “I just felt it was time we made our position known, one way or the other, even if it is to remain neutral.” said Brocklebank about why he chose to spring the motion on fellow directors. Bidgood, who had a hand in crafting a motion for Terrace’s city council with a similar intent, said he tabled it until the next meeting because he feared it would be voted out on a technicality. “Sometimes the fastest way to kill a very good motion” is by not being clear about the message being sent with that motion, he said. Brocklebank said the motion may need to be amended and the directors need to get the opinions of their constituents before voting on it. Back in April, the regional district board received a letter from the Wet’suet’en First Nation asking the board to take a stand against the pipeline, he explained. The letter was received for information only so the board could evaluate how it wanted to vote on the issue, he said. In the May and June board meetings, other issues came up that took priority so Brocklebank brought the motion up unannounced at the next possible board meeting, which was in August – there was no July re-
gional district meeting. Now that the motion is made, it will be on the agenda and Brocklebank will submit an explanation about it that he wants put on the agenda so the other
directors can read it before the September meeting, he said. When the motion comes up for debate at the meeting next month, Brocklebank can move for an amendment to it,
if someone else seconds it, he added. “I will tell you my amendment is we encourage Enbridge to look at alternatives, “ said Brocklebank. “The Northern Gate-
way bitumen pipeline is what really upsets me with what could happen to our environment.” Enbridge’s safety record lately isn’t that great, he added. “Things seem to be
falling apart in their pipeline system and I’d hate to see that happen in a new pipeline 20 years from now,” said Brocklebank. “If it breaks, it affects the whole northwest,
not one particular area,” he said, adding that a pipeline rupture would send bitumen into the Nechako system and would go all the way down the Fraser River to Vancouver.

Transit panel releases report LOCAL ELECTED officials should get seats on the BC Transit board and have a say in directing higher level operations, a review of BC Transit operations has recommended. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom appointed a review team in March after complaints that the provincially appointed BC Transit board was making costly changes without consulting the communities whose fares and property taxes cover more than half the cost of transit service, totalling $546,000 in 2012’s City of Terrace budget. The panel released its recommendations last Tuesday. It held 25 meetings with 40 local governments across the province and received 30 written submissions, including one from the combined group of the Regional District of Kitimat Stikine, the City of Terrace, the City of Prince Rupert, the District of Kitimat and the District of Port Edward. “Local government hasn’t felt they had a seat early enough at the table,” said Lekstrom. “Much of this boils down to a communication issue... [but] it’s already getting much better.” Terrace’s director of finance, Ron Bowles, said communication between the city and BC Transit has improved over the past year. There were “issues with the relationship over the last few years,” he said. “Communication is absolutely up.” The report made 18 recommendations, including more input from local governments in BC Transit’s higher level operations, as dictated in the provincial government’s annual Letter of Expectations that sets the body’s mandate.
“We’d now have a say in that,” said Bowles, noting municipalities are a major funding partner for BC Transit. “That’s huge.” Local governments bear the majority of the costs for transit in partnership with the B.C. government. In most of the 58 municipalities local governments contribute 53 per cent of the funding with the provincial government paying the remaining 47 per cent. When he ordered the review, Lekstrom ruled out any increase in the provincial share of funding. Last week he declined to comment on specific recommendations until they have been reviewed by local communities and discussed at the annual fall Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. “We look forward to what the minister has to say,” said Bowles, noting that this was just a report to a minister and

changes haven’t been implemented yet. Recommendations include: • a local government advisory panel to consult on system-wide capital expenditures • local governments should share information on long-term transit budget changes, land use and zoning decisions • the province should amend the BC Transit Act to allow multi-year operating agreements • BC Transit should report to municipalities twice a year ridership, cost per capita, passengers per capita and other performance measures.

Skeena Valley Fall Fair returns
IT’S A new Skeena Valley Fall Fair here thanks to those who missed it during its five year absence. The Skeena Valley Fall Fair Society, which is coming back in full force, has revamped the fair with some new ideas and is asking different groups to plan activities for the weekend of Sept. 8 and 9. “When it failed, I remember I was in another job and I was asked to participate and said no. And now, hindsight is 20/20, I think I could have participated and I’m not the only person who felt that way,” said Jennifer Lewis, a director of the society. First off, the date has been changed to the weekend after Labour Day Weekend and the structure is also different, she said. The society has asked different groups if they want to participate in the fall fair on that particular weekend and if so, to plan an event, said Lewis. It also involves asking them to provide some volunteers, she said. By resurrecting the former society, a 37-yearold non-profit with a five year hiatus, the society has access to grant money that a new society would have to wait three years to apply for, she added. Exhibition categories have been cut down, which was advice from former society members. Another suggestion was to have more children’s events, which have been added too, such as best scarecrow contest, smallest and largest vegetable creation, and best Lego creation, said Lewis. And there’s plans for a contest for children to pick the items that would go into a basket that Little Red Riding Hood would take to grandma’s house, she added. That comes in addition to traditional contests

Dancer explores career choices in program By MARGARET SPEIRS
EMILY HART will continue her love of dance in a program down south.
A LOCAL graduate knows exactly what she wants to do for the rest of her life and is moving on to discover what area of her chosen career suits her best. Emily Hart, 18, eagerly awaits the start of her training at the Harbour Dance Centre’s Intensive Training Program in Vancouver this September. “I heard about it through my dance teacher and I also heard about it because some of my friends are in Vancouver doing the dance program...so I went online and looked into it and realized it was exactly what I was looking for and wanted to pursue,” she said. The program goes until June and includes up to 25 hours a week in dance, voice, performance and other dance-related studies. Hart has been dancing with dance teacher Leah Correia for 11 years, the last five of which have been at Art in Motion Dance Studio.
“My mom threw me in when I was little, I think I was three and she wanted me to do something instead of being a boring kid,” says Hart. “I instantly loved it and always wanted to do it.” The main reason she loves it is the feeling she gets in the studio where she can express herself, she says. “It puts me into a completely different zone. No matter where I am, I’m always happy when I’m dancing,” she says. “I just love it. I couldn’t go the day without it.” To audition for the Harbour Dance Centre program, she had to learn two pieces, one contemporary piece and one hip hop piece and then she had to do other moves to see her style and how she could pick things up. She has trained in ballet, jazz, modern and contemporary and says her favourites are contemporary and jazz because “contemporary you can let go more and jazz you
can have more style with it.” Hart has participated in the Pacific Northwest Music Festival since her first solo at seven-yearsold and has competed in many dance competitions in B.C. and Alberta. This past year, at the festival, she placed first in her jazz, modern, contemporary, lyrical and pointe solos and danced in seven groups with her fellow dancers at Art in Motion. She topped the festival off by performing at the scholarship night as the senior dance representative and won the award of excellence scholarship for senior dance. When the program ends next June, she’s not sure where it will take her but she’s open to the options. “They kind of direct you,” says Hart. “At this point, I’m really open minded. I love teaching. I love teaching younger guys they grow up to be like you and want to be like you and I’ve always wanted to be a backup dancer for a singer.”

There are no open classes for animals this year and anyone who would like to see open classes is asked to join 4-H, which has the expertise on that. “So we’re coming back small. We’re just coming back and saying ‘this is what we miss,’” said Lewis, adding if people want a bigger fair next year, they can come join the society. New this year, people can enter the fair online as vendors, volunteers, or participants. People who would like to join the fall fair society or help out can contact the society or Volunteer Terrace. In particular, the society is looking for someone to be in charge of the volunteers, preferably someone who’s been involved with fall fair before.

River Challenge rides with the wind NINETEEN RIDERS turned out to participate in the Terrace Off Road Cycling Association’s 26th annual Skeena River Challenge bike race on Aug. 12, which sees cyclists on a ride of more than 100 kilometres between Prince Rupert and Terrace. The Gran Fondo style road race starts from the Jim Ciccone Centre in Prince Rupert and spins 140 kilometres up Hwy 16 to finish at the DHL parking lot at the corner of Kenney Street and Keith Avenue in Terrace. This year saw a course change, with the route altered to include a ride through Port Edward out to the North Pacific Cannery instead of turning out to Ridley Island. “The course change added an extra two kilometres to the race, but the feedback from the riders is positive,” said organizer Michael Bruce. “The rolling nature of the road to the North Pacific Cannery was fun and a good way to start the race.” Eleven riders made the lead pack for the majority of the race from Rainbow Summit to the Shames Mountain turnoff. By working together on the flats, the group was able to maintain speeds of over 40 kilometres per hour. A light tailwind helped as well, said
Bruce. James Woodworth of Telkwa opened up an unchallenged lead by charging well out in front of the pack at the Sheraton Railway overhead, but was caught on the hills after Shames for a fourth place finish in his age group. It was an exciting sprint to the finish, as the top placed riders all finished within seconds of each other. First place in men over 45 was Andrew Simpson. In second came Ernie Hidber. In third, Neil Hodgson. For Simpson and Hodgson, it was their first time racing this event. All are from Terrace. Taking first place for men under 45 was Peter Krause from Smithers. In second came Spencer Edwards from Kitimat, his second ride of this race. And in third came Vince Drouin from Smithers. Maryka Rypma was the only women’s entry and it was also her first ride of this race. There were also six riders from Rupert out this year. “The event could not have happened without a lot of volunteers who helped with registration, time keeping, signage, vehicle escorts, and food at the end,” said Bruce. “It was great that we could have a safe and exciting event like this with all that help.”

Northmen wrap up ‘breakthrough year’
SUBMITTED PHOTO
HERE IS back Craig Dunfield. Dunfield is the recipient of the Adam Heart Dedication award. Although living in Vanderhoof, he didn’t miss a game all season.
THE TERRACE Northmen Rugby Club wrapped up a terrific season this past weekend with an awards ceremony honouring their top players. “This season was very successful,” said club president Evan Van Dyk. “We’ve had lots of new people trying out the sport and we’ve never been so successful on the field. “It was a breakthrough year for Terrace rugby,” he said. The rugby club, one of Terrace’s oldest sports teams, experienced a resurgence in 2007 after years of near-extinction. Dedicated players, including Mike Homeniuk, Don Hill, and Kevin Duarde, brought the team back from the brink and this year marks the height of their rebuilding efforts. “We finally beat Prince George,” said Van Dyk. “Rupert’s definitely our biggest rival, and we have a great rivalry with them, but Prince George has always been the next step for us.” The Northmen’s 15 team beat Prince George during a game in Prince Rupert, although they lost the second game to them on Prince George’s home turf – the only game they lost all season. The 15’s, which is regular rugby with 15 players a side, had a record of three wins and one loss, winning twice against Prince Rupert. The Northmen’s 7’s team, a varia-
tion of rugby that sees seven players a side and much faster play, had a record of 16 wins and three losses, including coming in fourth out of 23 teams at Edmonton’s Rugbyfest in May. There are a number of factors contributing to the team’s success, including an incredibly supportive sponsorship community and just an improved knowledge of the intricacies of the game, but Van Dyk notes that reintroducing the rugby school program last year has been a major factor. “A big part is the Caledonia High School kids,” he said. “They’re making a huge impact. First time MVP Jarryd Kurisu is the coach of the Caledonia team. “Next year we want to keep the momentum going,” said Van Dyk. “We want to win Rugbyfest in Edmonton and grow our team 10 - 15 people.” Right now, the team has about 18 to 20 committed players who show up to practice twice a week. There’s also a group of about 10 other players who make it sporadically and that the team can call on. All team members vote for the awards, which were handed out at Boston Pizza on Saturday night. Smithers and Prince Rupert players also send in who they think should win, a testament to the close northwest rugby commu-
nity. Players overwhelmingly gave Rookie of the Year to back Jodry DaCosta. “He’s turned into one of our best players and he’s only been playing for two years,” said Van Dyk, noting that next year DaCosta could easily win Most Valuable Back or Most Valuable Player next year. The Adam Heart Dedication Award was started in 2008 when player Adam Heart was seriously injured, breaking his neck and wrist during play. But he came to games and cheered the guys on and was back playing the next year. “So we give that award to someone who shows that dedication on and off the field,” he said. Dunfield, who was Rookie of the Year last year, was an obvious choice. “It was a no brainer for most of the guys,” he said. “He made every single game, travelling five hours each weekend from Vanderhoof.” And the winners are: Most Valuable Player: Jarryd Kurisu Most Valuable Back: Walker Main Most Valuable Forward: Jonathan Doane Most Improved: James Dorrett Adam Heart Dedication Award: Craig Dunfield Rookie of the Year: Jordy DaCosta

THE ANNUAL King of the Mountain footrace is back this weekend and past participants will notice some changes to the route, which will take the Terrace Mountain bike loop instead of the hiking loop. The new route starts at the Terrace Sportsplex and continues past the pool entrance onto Park Ave. From there, it travels approximately one kilometre up the Park hill road until it hits the Johnstone St. trail head and continues all the way around the bike loop, 7.9 kilometres, until it ends up back at the start of the trail head. It then runs back down the
road the same way runners came from the start. The total distance is about 10 kilometres, and of that, only about 2 kilometres is road running. Trail running is easier on the knees than concrete running. “After a lot of thought and input from local runners we decided to change the route from previous years,� said organizer Nadene Butler. “By using the bike loop versus the hiking loop it makes the race somewhat more runner friendly as there are less steep pitches to contend with.� “This route is much easier on people new to trail running,� she
continued, adding that hopefully that will lead to new participants. The race has been a staple event in Terrace for decades, but its seen its participant numbers dwindle over the past few years. Under the guidance of Butler, and her husband, Troy, the two are hoping for a resurgence and increase in numbers. In order to do this, and promote the route changes, the pair led an orientation trail run of the course earlier this summer. About 20 participants turned out for the trail run and they are confident they can get at least 50 people to turn out for the race.
“According to All Seasons they have had a lot of inquiries and a lot of interest,� she said. “We’d like to stress that pre-registration would be nice, so that we can better plan water stations and food,� she said. Pre-registration forms can be found at All Seasons and Fiori Designs. But pre-registration is not required to participate in the race, which starts at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 26 at the Sportsplex. Participants are being asked to meet at the Sportsplex at 9 a.m. the day of the race for registration and a briefing of the route before heading out on the trail.
Soccer THE TERRACE Woman’s Soccer Association (TWSA) Outdoor Soccer playoffs start this week with games between top four teams Back Eddy Pub, Janga Jungle, Geier Waste, and Terrace Redi Mix at the Thornhill Primary School field and the Bailey St. field. Playoff games will be held Aug. 23 with the finals on Aug. 28 and Aug. 30 at Thornhill.
