Beauty and the beast By MARGARET SPEIRS EVEN THE cosmetics industry is taking up the campaign against Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipelines plan. An international company called Lush, which makes and sells handmade bath and body products, in messages printed on its sales receipts, urges customers to oppose Northern Gateway. And this spring it gave customers at its 45 Canadian stores the chance to cast a vote for or against the $5.5 billion plan to pump Alberta crude to Kitimat for export overseas.
“Based on feedback from the shops throughout the campaign and our initial findings, we can confirm that the majority of in-store votes were against the Enbridge pipeline proposal,” said Lush’s Brandi Halls, who is directing the antiNorthern Gateway pipeline campaign in Canada. “We strongly believe that Canadians should have a say in their energy future and that each and every one of us should be making the final decision on projects like Enbridge,” said Halls. “By turning our shops into polling stations, we gave everyday Canadians a voice on the issue of
tankers on B.C.’s coast. “In so doing, people will also be reminded that next time there’s an election, they have the option to vote for candidates who will stand up for our coast.” “We are a large B.C. based business with resources and the responsibility to make a difference so yes, we do believe that we can and are having an impact on this issue.” The ‘no’ votes went to the Dogwood Initiative to add to its No Tankers petition that asks the government to protect the B.C. coast from oil tanker traffic. Lush also printed a page in its summer issues of its catalogue
urging people to vote against Enbridge. The page explained who Enbridge is, gave details on the pipeline project and included a quote from Enbridge CEO Pat Daniel saying no one could promise that there would never be an oil pipeline accident. It also included, in red letters, “What’s at stake? The Northern Gateway Pipeline Project would put your water, culture, economy, land, ecosystem at risk.” The store also noted its campaign partner Dogwood Initiative, which works to protect rivers and coastline in B.C. from oil pipelines and tankers, as stated on its home
page. As of last week, Dogwood Initiative official Eric Swanson said the petition had 137,253 signatures, mostly from B.C. residents. The petition is being sent to the federal government in batches of about 50,000 each time, he added. “We think the provincial government can make the right move and make these projects go away so we can focus on better projects,” said Swanson, adding that a number of people equals political power. “For the provincial government, they need evidence of a political win in it for them.”

Local food promoted By SAMANTHA GARVEY RESIDENTS WILL be asked to play their role in increasing local food production at this year’s Skeena Valley Fall Fair. This Saturday, members of the Hungry Kids program through the Kalum Community School Society will be signing up people to buy produce from local farmers. The idea is to have a group of people agree to buy produce ahead of time, thus ensuring a farmer has the money needed to plant and cultivate crops. The food is delivered weekly for a set period of time throughout the season. Hungry Kids coordinator Agatha Jedrzejczyk said a typical model would involve having people pay $500 up front to receive food over a 17-week period. The idea, she added, is to provide another way of encouraging local food production. Quesnel has had a similar program running for a decade and there’s also one in Bella Coola. This isn’t the first time Jedrzejczyk has tried to get the program off the ground here. But she’s optimistic enough people will sign up this weekend. “I really see a change in people’s approach to produce,” she said. “People want local. People want sustainable.” The local food theme at the Kalum Community School Society’s booth continues with displays about gardening. Judy Walker will be demonstrating how to make remedies out of herbs and samples of home-made herbal tea, and healthy muffins made with stevia. There will be herbal hand cream and lip balm presentations on Saturday afternoon. Those visiting the booth at the Sept. 8 and 9 fair can also learn about the Greater Terrace Food Association, a local non-profit society working towards agricultural development and a more secure local food base in the area.

School board sets out priorities flying fish WITH SCHOOLS opening yesterday, the school board is readying its agenda, albeit in a climate less volatile than last year, which was fraught with labour disputes and teacher job action. “The district is looking forward to a peaceful start because we have a contract in place,� said Coast Mountain School District chair Art Erasmus. The district’s priorities at the top of the year are centered around enrolment and making sure class sizes meet contract obligations, he said. “That’s always a challenge every year,� Erasmus said. There are always students who enrolled in school over the summer who don’t show up, and new students turning up on the first day who still need to be enrolled, he said. The first few weeks are always focussed on the reorganization of classes. Once classes are reorganized, the district will release enrolment numbers. “The proof in the pudding will be on Sept. 30,� said Erasmus. “We are estimating [based on last year’s end-of-year numbers] that the number of kids is down very slightly.� Another district priority is making sure the district’s two new middle schools, Ter-

space. “The school district is keen and willing to work with the community to have the facility available for recreation,� said Erasmus. “But not at the district’s cost.� Community groups who use the space are currently in the process of figuring out whether or not they can raise the funds to keep using the gym, but at this time the space is still closed.

item is the search for a new superintendent. Superintendent Nancy Wells’ contract was extended a year beyond her initial term to enable her to keep her post until the end of the school year in 2013. “Timeline-wise, we would like to have a new superintendent in place sometime in the spring for a couple of months of overlap,� he said, noting the district still had to have discussions around where and how to look for Wells’ replacement.

bers don’t add up. “It’s just not feasible.” Those working toward increased food production aren’t convinced that it can’t happen. “Clearly, with food prices increasing and greater Terrace enjoying good soil and water availability, we are well-suited for a significant expansion of agriculture,” Lynda Gagne said. She added that she expects demand for local products to go up, not only because of health and taste preferences, but because of costs. “Increasing energy and transportation costs and concern over the impact of greenhouse gases on climate change all work in favour of the localization of food product i o n ,” s h e
said. Gagne added t h a t because Terrace is fairly remote, an increase in agriculture could be supported by local demand alone. And the solutions to increasing production aren’t out of reach. Leasing land, Gagne said, is becoming a popular option all over B.C. For people who want to farm but can’t afford to buy land. Interns, too, are becoming available through agricultural programs that could solve the problem of a lack of labour. Clause said he expects the high number of farmers retiring in the near future will leave behind equipment for re-sale. The farmers’ market is an already established
venue to take on any increase in agriculture. But the question

CHARLES CLAUS holds the last of his produce sold at the July 14 Skeena Valley Farmers’ Market. remains about how to sell food after local production outgrows the limits of a weekly, seasonal market. Eventually, the goal would be to sell local products in the established retail supermarkets. Darren Davies from Save On Foods in Terrace said the company is more than willing to stock its shelves with local products. However, most chain supermarkets, including Save On, have a minimum
level of stock required which is why existing small-scale farms have not made their way in the door. But to get the product from gate to plate, a cooperative system would be the answer to getting large quantities of agriculture selling, once those quantities grow beyond the capacity of the farmers’ market. Shared distribution and storage is one way to relieve individual farmers of the steep costs of
large amounts of production. “In terms of organizing ourselves to expand our local food production, in my view we will need to develop a cooperative and communitysupported production and distribution system, with the farmers’ market being a key element, but not the only element,” said Gagne. “My hope is that the public can catch a vision for locally produced food,” said Claus.

EDITORIAL
Eye-opener MORE THAN a few longer-term residents of the area might remember the day when you could go into a local grocery store and buy bread baked by a Seventh-Day Adventist academic academy just outside of Kitwanga. Or, in season, purchase carrots grown at a farm also located in the Kitwanga area. It was wholesome fare then and was missed when production stopped. With that in mind, readers of this week’s issue might notice there’s a bit of a theme – food or, rather, local food. A front page story lays out the possibility of buying local produce and our Page 5 feature provides more detail on what’s possible and what challenges await. By all accounts, there’s an appetite for local food. Consider that a survey done at the local farmers market determined more than 2,700 visited the location on July 28 alone. By itself, that figure stands out as a testament to the market’s popularity. Granted, not everyone attending on that day was there for the purpose of buying locally-grown food but keep in mind that any business first requires customers for what that business may wish to produce. So keep that in mind while attending the revived Skeena Valley Fall Fair this weekend. Enjoy the work that has gone into the fair and also drop by the Kalum Community School Society’s booth to learn more about local food. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

or me, grocery shopping is the equivalent of volunteering as a mystery shopper without hiding my identity. Chain stores hire mystery shoppers to spy on staff and report ways the store can improve service and thus sales. If I encounter irritants while going about my regular shopping, I suggest things the store could do to make my and other customers’ shopping experience safer, more convenient and satisfactory. “In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers”, says Mystery Shoppers, Inc., “customer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and has become a key element of business strategy. Poor customer service affects your bottom line.” As a regular customer of certain supermarkets, I offer whatever tips I can as they crop up. For instance, I wouldn’t fill a plastic bag with bulk nuts, then leave it sitting in a corner of the shelf along with five abandoned bags because I couldn’t find a twister or a pen to write the bin number. Nor would I walk away nut-less grumbling, “Now I

on my complaint. The lock was still meshing perfectly on my recent visit. The only recalcitrant manager I’ve met resisted replacement of a parking lot exit stop sign, torn from its stanchion by a snowplow. Successive weekly nudges stirred him not at all. Only an email to corporate headquarters got that sign replaced six months after my first complaint. Mystery Shoppers Inc.’s website notes: It costs approximately six times more money to attract new customers than it does to retain an existing customer. Dissatisfied customers are likely to tell five to seven times as many people about their experience as satisfied customers. For every customer who complains about a minor problem, fifty remain silent. For a fee Mystery Shoppers Inc. assists stores in identifying what brings their customers back and what drives them away. My similar service is free. Do stores view my suggestions in that light? Who knows? Some might wish I’d shop elsewhere.

Did I walk away and leave some shorter shopper to go without the eggs she had on her grocery list? No way. And I don’t climb shelves like an employee. Instead I flagged a stock clerk zipping by and asked her to move cartons forward. She did. Some problems require the manager’s attention. Such as the parking lot full of deep potholes so that leaving the lot required more steering wheel dexterity and turning radius judgment than I possess. The manager explained repairing the parking lot was on the local paver’s agenda but they were too busy to tend to it yet. I had to believe him; the paver lives opposite me and his red truck was gone from dawn to dusk daily. Eventually the lot was beautifully paved. Did my complaint hasten the repair? Probably not. But I felt relieved knowing my grievance had reached the highest authority. Once I spoke to a manager about a public washroom latch that didn’t. Employees said it had been reported many times. But to whom? The manager moved pronto

STEELHEAD CAUGHT in the Kalum River.
No need to go on attack Dear Sir: Rob Brown’s Aug. 8, 2012 column entitled “Abundance” concerning the abundance or lack of abundance of Skeena system steelhead is of interest to the B.C. Wildlife Federation (BCWF) whose primary objective is conservation. Mr. Brown makes some very good points about the historic numbers of Skeena steelhead and a notable lack of abundance compared to other systems to the south as well as run sizes of Skeena salmon (pink,
sockeye and coho). It is questionable to include pinks and chums in the comparisons since they have completely different life history strategies but regardless, there is no question that steelhead are less productive compared to their salmon cousins. We certainly agree with Mr. Brown on the impacts of decades of indiscriminate net fisheries. Where there is disagreement is over the privilege to harvest a steelhead when there is a harvestable surplus
over and above conservation requirements and the needs of First Nations have been met. The BCWF believes when conservation objectives are being met, steelhead populations return to abundance (classified as being in the routine management zone) and there should be opportunities for resident anglers to participate in a harvest of steelhead. The lack of these opportunities is driven by the lack of investment to identify the locations, times and opportunities
for retention fisheries by the province. Mr. Brown’s point is that BCWF members such as Kitimat resident Mike Langegger, Regional Director of the BCWF, should not be allowed to harvest steelhead because of their low numbers. But what is at the heart of this issue is the divisive argument between users: catch and release or catch and harvest. This is a choice issue not a conservation issue as the data suggest a harvestable surplus is
available for some of the stronger Skeena steelhead stocks. The conservation community interested in fish and fish habitat is small but often very passionate bunch and clearly Mr. Brown is in this group. However, it is a sad and unfortunate reality that some conservationists also seem to enjoy pitting one interest group against another. Bill Bosch, President, B.C. Wildlife Federation, Vancouver, B.C.
Dear Sir: I would like to offer your readers another version of the events that led to the seizure of the dog Cain. It’s different than the one that reported in your Aug. 15, 2012 story, “Protestors rally for dog’s transfer.” On the day in question, four boys were outside playing ball hockey (as kids do), and during this game, Cain came out of his yard, and attacked one of the kids. The dog bit hard enough that he ripped the little boy’s pants wide open. The boy ended up going home, but was not physically injured in the attack. A short while later, a mother and two other children, smaller children than the first pair, went out for a walk. At this time, Cain came out once again running towards the mother and those two children. The dog first attacked the smaller child until the mother picked the child up. Even at this point Cain was attempting to jump at the child. Once Cain was done with the smaller child, he took after the six year old tackling him and pushing him into a ditch. Cain went in the ditch as well. This is when the famous hockey stick allegation occurred. One of the kids ran into the ditch slapping his hockey stick on the ground yelling at Cain to go away. He never struck him once. The dog owner actually witnessed this, even though his recollection is somewhat skewed, and the only thing he yelled was to not hit his dog. You would think he would be trying to get control of his out-of-control canine, but he chose to just observe and yell at the kids from afar. The owner is quoted as saying no injuries were sustained by the attacks and the boys were fine. This is not true. The physical injuries are only one part.

Nice try, but refinery proposal just won’t work
I
spoke against the Northern Gateway Project in my oral presentation to the Joint Review Panel in May. I have not changed my mind on the project’s merits, but I feel compelled to speak up in support of Enbridge. Their project raises valid questions about the risks associated with the operation of a pipeline through British Columbia’s rugged northwest super tanker traffic in Douglas Channel. Enbridge may have embellished some aspects of the project, its impact on local employment, for example, in an effort to gain public support. But concerning the economics of the proposal, especially from the perspective of corporate gain, Enbridge knows what it is talking about. Enbridge is a pipeline company. The company’s expertise is in making a profit from building and operating oil pipelines. Yes, oil has spilled from the company’s pipelines, disastrously so in some instances. The US
National Transportation Safety Board labelled Enbridge’s response to one spill as a Keystone Kops operation. They may have been harsh, but it would be banal to write off the rash of Enbridge spills on the grounds that “accidents will happen,” although accidents do indeed happen in every industry. Safety training, inspections, and investment in the global scheduled airline industry are extensive and yet, that industry has chalked up fourteen fatal crashes in the past twelve months, killing 498 crew and passengers. Accidents in any industry do and will continue to happen. But the subject here is not the pipeline; it is the proposal by a wealthy media personality to build a $13-billion refinery in Kitimat. This proposal offered two trump cards: massive new employment in the region, and the elimination of bitumen carrying super tankers in Douglas Channel. I had to check my calendar: is it April 1 already?
GUEST COMMENT
ANDRE CARREL This refinery proposal falls into the well-meaning but utterly useless “why doesn’t somebody …” category of announcements. Let me compare this refinery announcement with the Northern Gateway pipeline announcement. Bitumen producers in Alberta were looking for markets, and refiners in Asia (not only China) were looking for crude. In the
presence of a secure supply and a strong demand, connecting the two would seem to be child’s play. Not so fast. If a Northern Gateway pipeline is eventually approved, and that is still a long way from being a certainty, it will have taken a major international pipeline company over a decade to move the project from initial proposal to final approval. And that’s with an experienced proponent in the pipeline industry. So what are we to make of the refinery proponent’s announcement? Let us assume that the refinery gets rapid approval, that it does not run into financing difficulties, that contracts with product vendors and customers are signed, and that the plant is designed and built in record time. How would a refinery in Kitimat prevent the sale of raw bitumen to any customer in the pacific region? With the pipeline in place, with Kitimat harbour having the capacity to handle super tankers,
and with Douglas Channel navigational aides for such traffic in place, how difficult would it be to get approval for bitumen-carrying super tankers to get permission to enter the channel? How much time would be needed, and how many hurdles would have to be overcome for the design, engineering, permitting, financing, and construction of a refinery in Kitimat. A decade? Maybe longer? What about the Northern Gateway pipeline project in the meantime? Should Enbridge be told to shelve that project until the refinery project is guaranteed? The refinery proposal is a Northern Gateway project distraction. A more likely job-creating economic booster for this region would be to wait for the owners of the Vancouver Canucks to build a plywood plant in Terrace so as to put a halt to raw log exports. Andre Carrel is a retired public sector administrator living in Terrace, B.C.

‘Ever’ is hard to define in terms of weather Dear Sir: In a letter appearing in the Aug. 22 edition of The Terrace Standard, Jim Culp responded to my column of Aug. 15 which dealt with the conversion of Fritz Vahrenholt, regarded as one of the fathers of the environmental movement in Germany, from a believer in human-caused global warming to, at the very least, a semisceptic.
In his letter Jim brought up the conversion, in the opposite direction, of Richard Muller, University of California physicist. I just want to say that another reader, following publication of my column, emailed me the link to that Los Angeles Times article about Muller. I had intended to mention it in my next column and thank Jim
for crossing that off my to-do list. But what I want to concentrate on in this letter is Jim’s litany of “dramatic climate occurrences” this year. He points out that July temperatures in the US bread basket were the highest “ever”. Ever is a long, time so I wondered what his definition of “ever” was. I found my answer
a couple of paragraphs later when he said the weather in the Prairies this summer had been “the worst ever recorded.” Now I have no doubt he is absolutely accurate on that score so do not dispute his assertion. My point would be that there have undoubtedly been a whole lot of “dramatic climate occurrences” that were never recorded, such is
A refinery? No way Dear Sir: David Black, owner of The Terrace Standard and many other B.C. newspapers, is promoting the construction of an oil refinery in Kitimat as a compromise for the Northern Gateway pipeline. There are three immediately recognizable problems. First, the claim by Mr. Black and other pipeline supporters that it is in the national interest assumes a very narrow and negligent view of that interest. The ownership of the oil sands themselves needs national review, as does the off-shore sale of a resource that should be kept in the country for long-term and lessened domestic use as the nation also develops alternative energy and aids the fight against global warming. We must encourage our provincial and federal members to address the national interest. Second, a refinery in Kitimat would still mean
a bitumen pipeline to it, as well as the ancillary condensate line. They would still endanger every waterway along their route, and the ocean will not calm for the cargo of refined fuel anymore than it will for bitumen. Disaster still awaits. Third, and most important for Terrace especially, is being downwind of a refinery. The notorious chemical drift from refineries, as in Sarnia, Ontario, provides overwhelming evidence of the health hazard. Kitimat Valley would be renamed “Cancer Valley”, and Terrace “Terminal Illness”. If David Black is really serious about a refinery, then he should propose it for the oil sands themselves. Moreover, he could show his bona fides by living in the lee of its emissions. Dr. David Heinimann, Terrace, B.C.

What about the emotional stress placed on these children? And does it really make sense that three diesel trucks and children were cornering a German Shepherd as indicated in the first story? That story is just an attempt to muddy the truth to gain supporters in the community. I think before anyone should be calling boys evil they should get their facts straight. In reality, if the two older kids weren’t there, the situation could have been a lot more serious, and parents could very well be visiting their young son in hospital. Ken Isaak, Terrace, B.C.

It was the real thing By MARGARET SPEIRS A FIRST aid class got some unexpected handson training at a crash outside the classroom Aug. 29. A police vehicle and a van collided on Hwy16 near Kerr Street around 10:17 a.m., leaving the van with a crushed front end and the RCMP vehicle in the grassy median in front of the Pacific Natural Gas building. St. John’s Ambulance Level 3 occupational first aid course member Trevor Lubbers heard the crash and fellow student Dayna Jackson looked out and saw the injured van driver laying on the pavement
behind his vehicle. After Jackson saw the man trying to get up, first aid instructor Don Morrison said, “OK. Let’s go.� He told the eight people to grab their gear and they, as well as St. John’s branch manager Janet Mackenzie, rushed out to check the driver. “I kind of jumped in and took it,� said Morrison, adding that his class knew what to do and assisted. After introducing himself, asking the driver’s name and getting his consent to check him for injuries, Morrison exposed the man’s chest, where he complained of pain, and
his back, where he also was hurting, said Morrison. “I didn’t find any injuries,� said Morrison, adding that bruising wouldn’t show up right away. They took his vital signs and gave him some oxygen as he looked pale and chalky, said Morrison. He had minor cuts on his forehead and the back of his head. The driver was asked not to move his head so the first aid class could immobilize him on a spinal board, said Morrison. As they were putting him on the spinal board, the ambulance paramedic crew arrived
and the class relayed the information about the man and his injuries, said Morrison. The ambulance took the driver to hospital and the students returned to class. “They did a great job,� Morrison said. This isn’t the first time a Level 3 first aid class got real-life experience. When construction on the Walmart began some years ago, the lights at the corner of Feeney Ave. and Hwy16 changed quite quickly before corrective measures were taken. Morrison and his class went out to help at an accident on that corner.

Grant request frozen for now THE KSAN House Society won’t know until fall if its application for a grant to complete renovations on a southside building will be backed by city council. The society wants money from the Northern Development Initiative Trust to fully convert an older building for community use. But city council has plans of its own to use money from the trust and so held off on supporting the society’s application. It also wants to delve further into whether or not there is other available community use space on the southside. The decision was reached at the Aug. 27 council meeting. Ksan approached council earlier last month for support in asking the trust for $23,084. The renovated space was once used as an emergency housing shelter but has now been turned into a large room and commercial-grade kitchen with an adjoining office suite. It’s located adjacent to Ksan’s new emergency shelter and housing complex on Hall St. But to meet community use standards parking needs to be improved, outdoor lighting is needed and a ventilation system is needed. “The reason we renovated was because there is no community space on the south side of town,” said Ksan House
director Carol Sabo. “We are very disappointed, the building is under-utilized,” she said, of council’s decision to delay action. “We can continue to offer our programs there, but without assembly status nobody else can utilize the building.” “If council doesn’t want to share the grant opportunity,” she continued. “[Maybe] they will see their way into relaxing the requirement of paving.” In the grant application, the quote for paving work that still needs to be completed is $33,000. Ksan’s grant application needed to be backed by council in order to be considered by the Northern Development Initiative Trust. The trust was established with monies earned from the long term lease by CN of BC Rail tracks and distributes financial assistance in a variety of ways. Currently there’s approximately $250,000 in an account earmarked for local use if council first gives its blessing. But, in a report to city council, finance director Ron Bowles noted the city has planned to use the money to replace or renovate aging city buildings, listing the aquatic centre and city hall among candidates. The city is drafting a pool master plan, he noted. “There are competing
interests for that money,” said Bowles. “[The society’s request] doesn’t really fit with the city’s mandate.” Council members had concerns about the application, calling for a general discussion about the need for community spaces on the south side, beyond this specific request. Councillor Brian Downie did note the request brings up a valid point.
“Aside from the Elk’s Hall, maybe the schools, there aren’t any facilities on the south side. There’s a logical argument it could be a priority for the city.” But he said there needed to be further discussion about the amount of people who would be using the Ksan House space before the city could support letting go of the cash. “We need to have a full conversation on the
need for facilities on the south side,” said councillor Stacey Tyers. “But what the application is missing is the amount of people the hall would actually hold,” she said. “For me, if it’s another venue that will only hold 50 people, that might not be a priority. But if it would hold 200, then maybe that would be a priority,” said Tyers of the situation.

Six-figure restitution order for fraud By MARGARET SPEIRS A WOMAN will have to pay six figures in restitution after pleading guilty to stealing money from a northwest credit
union branch during a 14-month time period. Margaret Sousa Klonarakis of Kitimat was ordered to pay restitution of $100,504.41 to Envision Financial Credit Union by Judge
Calvin Struyk as part of her sentence Aug. 24. She was a credit union employee at the time of the theft. Klonarakis was charged with fraud over $5,000 and theft over
$5,000 from the credit union between Sept. 1, 2009 and Nov. 23, 2010. She will spend six months on a conditional sentence order with conditions that include
spending the first four months inside her residence 24 hours each day seven days each week, not going to Envision or within 25 metres of the building and to not possess the financial docu-
ments of any person or conduct any financial business for anybody. Klonarakis will then spend 18 months on probation with similar conditions and complete 50 hours of community
work service within the first year of her probation. Klonarakis will also have to pay a $100 victim fine surcharge. The charge of fraud over $5,000 was stayed by the prosecutor.
From front
Pipe line foes The Dogwood Initiative is being as political as it can without being partisan, he added. “I think it’s a big opportunity for both provincial NDP and provincial Liberals to strengthen their position and a stronger position I suspect will bring more votes,” he said, adding the Enbridge pipeline issue is set to become a decisive election issue in 2013. “I’m confident if the provincial government decided to stop [the pipeline] they could,” he said.
Gingolx residents face liquor charges TWO ADULTS face charges after Lisims/ Nass Valley RCMP executed a search warrant in Gingolx. After several months of investigation, police detained an adult male and female at the residence in the 1700 block of Volunteer St., a place police say is wellknown for bootlegging, said police Aug. 31. Officers seized two sealed cases of 26-ounce Smirnoff vodka, more than 40 cans of liquor cooler drinks, score sheets, liquor store receipts totalling $1,200 for August and a small calibre rifle, said police. “This illegal activity just creates victims and we see the tragic results.” said Sgt. Donovan Tait, officer in charge of the Lisims/Nass Valley RCMP. Police will be seeking charges of unlawful sale of liquor and officers continue to investigate.

Fire fighting costs drop By SAMANTHA GARVEY FOREST fire fighting costs have dropped compared to last year even though there have been twice as many blazes as 2011. So far this year the province has spent $2.9 million fighting fires in the northwest, substantially less than the $4.3 million spent in 2011. And a large chunk of last year’s total, $3.1 million, was spent fighting just one fire, the 11,000-hectare Tsigar Lake fire in the northern section of the region. That fire required a lot of aircraft and helicopter time and personnel to bring under control. There were 18 northwest fires last year, a low number because of the cool and wet summer which blanketed the entire province. Of that number, 12 were caused by lightning, five by humans and one of unknown origin. The potential for fires this year has been higher, resulting in 93 starts
Fire strategy has shifted By Samantha Garvey

THE MORICE Lake fire, seen here on Aug. 18, grew to approximately 1,400 hectares.
so far in the northwest, 65 lightning-caused and 28 human-caused. Although 93 starts is much higher than the year previous it is still considered a slow fire season. Provincially, 2011 was the slowest fire season in more than 70 years. At this time last year, $74 million was
spent on fire fighting and so far this year the cost has been approximately $112 million. That latter figure may change once the province receives payment for work done in other provinces by B.C. firefighters. What has been unusually high this year is the number of aban-
doned campfires, said Lindsay Carnes from the forest ministry’s Northwest Fire Centre in Smithers. Despite warnings released from the fire centre, there have been 54 abandoned campfires in the northwest district, two of which spread into surrounding bush and became classified
as wildfires. Carnes said a high number of abandoned campfires can be a factor in deciding to ban campfires or not. “We considered it this year, except it it didn’t make sense to put a campfire ban in place... because we were expecting cooler, wetter conditions,” she said.

LAST WEEK the fire danger rating was changed back to low and the ban on open fires was lifted. But two fires in the northwest continued to burn through their surroundings. As of Aug. 30, crews were containing flames on just one side of a 3,500 hectare fire outside of Boya Lake Provincial Park north of here and doing the same at a 1,400 hectare blaze near Morice Lake south of Houston. Each fire was also being closely monitored. “If we can let a fire burn naturally, we will,” said Tony Falcao from the forest service’s wildfire management branch in Terrace. An expert in forest fire fuels management, Falcao says allowing a fire to burn is not only good for the forest itself, but will also burn fallen trees and dead debris, which can serve as fuel for a future unexpected fire. Things changed in the way forest fires were treated in B.C. after 2003 which was B.C.’s worst season record based on the number of fires, their intensity and accompanying destruction. Gordon Campbell, the premier at the time, commissioned a report to discover why the fires were beginning to burn more intensely. The results of the Firestorm 2003 Report stated, “It is clear that a successful record of fire suppression has led to a fuel buildup in the forests of British Columbia. “The fuel buildup means that there will be more significant and severe wildfires ... unless action is taken.”

North totally out of shape By Shaun Thomas STATISTICS Canada released its 2012 health profile this summer, and the numbers from last year show the northwest falls well behind the province when it comes to a number of health indicators. In terms of perceived health, only 53.1 per cent of people in the northwest say they perceive to have very good or excellent health. That number is below the 59.6 per cent in the province and is the lowest in northern B.C. compared to the 53.3 per cent in the interior and the 61.1 per cent in the northeast. In terms of mental health, 63.4 per cent of people said they perceive it to be good or excellent, again well below the 71 per cent in the province and the lowest in the Northern Health Authority area when compared to 67.1 per cent in the northern interior and 73.2 per cent in the northeast. Despite those numbers, people in the northwest have a lower per cent of people who perceive life stress of at 20.2 per cent compared to 21.4 per cent in B.C., 22.3 per cent in the northern interior and 22.2 per cent in the northeast. When it comes to weight concerns, 62.1 per cent of people in the North-
west Health Services Delivery Area were reported as being overweight or obese, while across the province the number was 44.7 per cent. The number for the region is also the highest in Northern Health, with 54.9 per cent reporting being obese or overweight in the northern interior and 58.2 per cent reporting the same in the northeast. People in the northwest also have a higher percentage of high blood pressure than others in B.C. and northern B.C., with 16.7 per cent reporting high blood pressure compared to 14.9 per cent across the province, 15.9 per cent in the interior and 12.8 per cent in the northeast. In the northwest 20.9 per cent of people say they smoke daily or occasionally, well above the 16.7 per cent in the province. However, both the interior and the northeast have higher rates of smoking at 23.4 per cent and 27.7 per cent respectively. When it comes to drinking, 19.5 per cent are reportedly heavy drinkers compared to 19.8 per cent in the interior, 18 per cent in the northeast and 15.8 per cent in the province. Overall, healthier eating habits, regular exercise and avoiding over drinking and smoking are best.

Fire is beneficial for the forests In response, the province began a program to manage the fuels on the forest floor by funneling money through the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM). “The intent is to enable communities to create community wildfire protection plans,” said Falcao. “One element is to look at the landscape around the community and recognizing potential hazards,” he said, adding that for this area, most of the activity is cleaning up ground fuels and pruning to two or three metres. Pruning is removing lower branches from living trees so that fires from the forest floor cannot spread so easily to the trees. The more height fuels have, the more of a threat is posed, Falcao said. The most common and cost-effective way to dispose of fire fuels is by burning it on-site in small piles. But depending on the location, a wood chipper may be used. The wood chips are spread out or occasionally hauled out of the area and used as a bed for trails. For example, if a fuel build up was near a school, crews would avoid burning because of smoke issues. Fires are not only beneficial to managing the build up of fuels, but for the health of the forest itself. “You get a big kick of nutrients for

two years,” said Dave Coates, research silviculturist with the Skeena regional office of the B.C. Forest Service. He said that nutrients are released from organic matter in a fire and left on the forest floor. That combined with a dense seed bed (seeds are separated from trees during a blaze), warmer soil temperatures and more sunlight (if a forest’s canopy has burned), creates ideal growing conditions. In the first two years, herbs and shrubs will grow exceptionally well, Coates said. As well, a natural regeneration of trees will take place: new trees growing from the ashes of old ones. Fire is also important for the destruction of diseased trees, which old forests will always have. But when a fire burns through them, all new growth will be healthy disease-free trees. “That’s one of the great things about fires: It creates ideal condition for regeneration of new trees,” Coates said. Also in the first two years after a fire, it is not uncommon to see a new growth of morel mushrooms. “They can be very abundant, especially up north and people love to pick them,” said Coates. Wild berries will return anywhere from five to 30 years after a fire has gone through a forest.

Watch for falling ping pong balls By MARGARET SPEIRS WATCH FOR falling ping pong balls, race a zucchini and bet on where the cow patty will drop at the fall fair this weekend. The Ping Pong Ball Drop is for children ages two to 13, who will see ping pong balls falling from the sky, pick them up and win prizes. Skeena Valley Fall Fair Society director Jennifer Lewis says the ping pong ball drop was her idea – a memory from her childhood. “When I was a kid here in Terrace, they used to do it at the Skeena Mall. I know as a kid that was one of our highlights. That’s where I got the idea from,” she says. “As kids, we would go to the mall, sit in the parking lot and wait for the ping pong balls to drop on us. So fun,”
she says, adding the other ideas came from other society members. “We wanted more things for more kids to participate in,” says Lewis. The idea is to draw families down to the fair, she adds. The Zucchini Race invites people to poke axels with wheels into a zucchini, register it and watch it race to see who has the fastest vegetable. The Cow Patty Drop asks people to take a peek at a grid drawn on the 4-H pen at the community grounds, buy a square on the grid where they believe a bovine will drop its patty, and win prizes if they chose correctly. “Everything’s coming together and we’re really excited,” says Lewis. For rules on how to race a zucchini, how to bet on a cow patty drop and more details about events, see the fall fair website at skeenavalleyfallfair.com.

PARTICIPANTS IN this year’s Kidney Walk took their time or ran the Twin Spruce Trails.
ORGANIZERS TOUT the third annual Kidney Walk as a great success. “We had a great day– raising approximately $13,000,” said Joan Iamele. The money came from participants, individuals and teams, who donated and received pledges, 11 sponsors and businesses, who gave cash donations, and many gift donations were given in food/beverages and for the prizes, she says. Participants walked or ran the Twin Spruce Trails and children enjoyed a scavenger hunt and a treat on their return, says Iamele. An information table on site included forms and information from the B.C. Transplant Society, she adds. “I believe we are getting the message out and hopefully closing the gap of 85 per cent saying they agree with being registered but only 18 per cent actually being registered,” says Iamele. The 25 volunteers made the day a great success, she says. The Knights of Columbus hosted a hot dog barbecue, and the Dragon Boat Society came out and had others join them for a 2.5-kilometre paddle, she adds. “I am looking forward to the fourth annual walk, next year,” she says.

Fundraiser helps storm victims A SOLDOUT fundraiser brought in nearly $5,000 to help rebuild the lives of people washed out of their homes by a tropical storm in the Philippines. Organizers sent $4,600 for housing in Illigan City and Cagayan de Oro on Mindanao Island to Emmanuel International from the fundraiser at Terrace Pentecostal Aug. 11. Emmanuel International is a Christian relief and rehabilitation organization whose programs and projects transform thousands of lives around the world. It has been working in the Philippines since 1980. In December 2011, tropical storm Washi hit areas of Mindanao Island without warning in the middle of the night. Up to 1,000 people lost their lives and many houses were completely destroyed.
Many of these people are still livng in tents, which have also been flooded. Emmanuel International wants to build replacement housing in Illigan City, that’s sturdier and stronger. Homes will cost about $2,000 to $2,500 each. The organization is part of a consortium in Cagayan de Oro with groups such as Habitat for Humanity, where they will also assist in building houses. More than 140 people attended the fundraiser and had a wonderful time, including a meal with everything from roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy and sushi, prepared and donated by Cafenara, to curried chicken, chicken adobo, Sudanese and Ethiopian dishes, and Panamanian pork , and more. All that was thanks to a variety of chefs from Korea, Panama, India, the Philippines,
Canada and guest speaker Mel Middleton pitched in as a chef from Ethiopia and Sudan. “As always our kitchen crew under the guidance of Muriel Hubbard did an absolutely amazing job!” says organizer Kathryn Vandermeulen. Entertainment included some of the Latin folk dances from Riverboat Days, three children did a folk dance called Little Frog, Elijah Bowen did a fine rendition of a poem called The Wind, compete with actions, Rosaura Diaz performed a Panamanian folk dance and Sandra Yoo played Amazing Grace on her violin while her sister Julia sang and their mother Yoon Yoo accompanied them on piano and signed it. “It was all very beautiful,” says Vandermeulen. Middleton showed his powerpoint presentation and spoke
on the situation in the Philippines. “It was very moving and people were very attentive,” says Vandermeulen. “With all of his experience overseas, he really has stories that captivate people.” Donations were accepted and there was a silent auction. “We were thrilled to be able to forward the money to Emmanuel International and are looking forward to hearing back from them as the project progresses,” says Vandermeulen. “We really appreciate Terrace Pentecostal Assembly for graciously allowing Emmanuel International the use of their facilities, and appreciate the amazing generosity of so many people in Terrace, who donated time, material goods and donations toward making this fundraiser the success that it was.”

Guess what time of year it is? Hockey camp marks a season set to begin THE SIXTH Warrior Goalie Training camp took place in Terrace last week, a reminder that the local hockey season is starting soon (all bets are off for the NHL). Coach and camp organizer Justin Foote and his three assistant coaches hosted 13 young goalies at the Terrace Sportsplex Aug. 27 to 31. The popular northwest camp has been going on for six years. It is based out of Williams Lake and held camps in Quesnel and 100 Mile House before stopping in Terrace. Goalies ranging in age from seven to 17 and hailing from Smithers, Kitimat and Terrace took part in the camp, which stresses goalie fundamentals, skating and theory. “Everybody’s at a different level,” said Foote. “But everyone can benefit from going back to the basics, or as we like to say, refining the fundamentals.” Participants saw two ice sessions a day, one purely focussing on skating, and the other integrating the skating and lessons with pucks. There are dryland sessions and theory classes that prep the players for the mental challenges that are specific to being a goalie – what happens when you get cut, how to keep a good attitude on the ice. Foote said the goalies improve greatly over the course of the camp and the response has been good. “It’s been great,” he said. “Lots of support from the community up here. A lot of people appreciate this type of training because usually you’d have to travel for hours.” “Terrace Minor Hockey has been a huge supporter of the camp,” he said, adding they couldn’t do it without them. And in other hockey news, the Terrace River Kings are back on the ice. Official tryouts are this week, with four intersquad games to play before the CIHL Challenge Cup, held here in Terrace Sept. 28 and 29.

Northwest senior athletes shine at games
SUBMITTED PHOTO
FROM LEFT the members of Zone 10’s track team: Donna Graf, Pat Kirkaldy, Maxine Smallwood and Bob Goodvin made the trek to the 2012 B.C. Senior Games to represent the northwest.
THE NORTHWEST’S senior athletes, representing Zone 10 at the B.C. Senior Games held in Burnaby Aug. 21 to 25, have returned home and they bring with them oodles of memories and a whole whack of medals. Ninety seniors hailing from Haida Gwaii, Prince Rupert, Terrace and Kitimat – out of a membership of 182 – travelled for the tournament, which also happened to be the 25th anniversary of the games. Eleven participants and athletes from across the province, including five from Zone 10, have been with the games from the beginning, and celebrated their 25th games anniversary. Betty Nordstrom, Mary Arneson, Dorothy Cheyne, and Bob Goodvin have been members for 25 consecutive years and Maxine Smallwood has competed in 25 consecutive games – 23 of those years in track and field events. Smallwood and Goodvin brought home 11 medals in total in track and field and Nordstrom was a member of the gold winning five-pin bowling team. “We did very well,” said Zone
10 president Bill Whitty. Athletes competed in 14 of the 26 events available, bringing home a total of 71 individual medals – 32 gold, 17 silver, and 22 bronze, he said. Archery saw Zone 10 win two gold, three silver; cribbage with four gold, two silver, two bronze; the bowling team of four won bronze; floor curling’s “B” team with bronze; golf with five gold, two silver; horseshoes with four gold, one silver; swimming with three golf, two silver, three bronze; track and field two gold, seven silver, eight bronze; whist winning gold; and five-pin bowling’s “A” team taking gold, plus three other gold medals. There were also six Zone 10 members who paddled for other zones in dragon boat racing. Next year’s games will be held in Kamloops from Aug. 20 to 24. “Zone 10 is looking forward to participating and having an even better result,” said Whitty. Zone 10 is thinking about starting to practice pickleball, he said. It’s a new sport similar to table tennis that has been gaining traction and was popular at the games.

King of the Mountain race reigns THE 35TH annual King of the Mountain trail race was a terrific success, with a higher turnout than organizers expected and solid reviews of the race’s new route. Sixty-nine people, ages ranging from seven to 63, turned out for the 10-kilometre race that this year took the Terrace Mountain bike loop instead of the hiking loop. The new route appeared to breathe new life into the race, which has seen its numbers decline the last few years. “Everyone loved the new route,” said organizer Nadene Butler. “We had people mention that the King of the Mountain is the best trail race in the northwest.” Racers, hailing from Terrace, Smithers, Prince Rupert, Kitimat, and Prince George, started at the Terrace Sportsplex and continued past the pool entrance onto Park Avenue. From there, they travelled approximately one kilometre up the Park hill road until hitting the Johnstone Street trail head and continuing all the way around the bike loop, 7.9 kilometres, until ending up back at the start of the trail head. “We are hoping that through word of mouth

Sixty-nine people participated in the race. we can add even more people next year and maybe get over 100 people,” said Butler. “We would like to mention a big thanks to all of our hardworking volunteers as well as Terrace Search and Rescue for attending,” she said. The awards list, provided by King of the Mountain organizers, is as follows:
ick Cochrane has flown here from Langley where he teaches school. Nick has recently taken to flyfishing, which has led him to the Thompson in pursuit of rainbow trout, and to the Vedder Canal where he casts to the hatchery coho. He could try his luck for steelhead upriver, in the Vedder River proper and above that in the Chilliwack, but he hasn’t the appetite for combat fishing. Every run is crowded like we saw on Ferry Island, he tells me. A guy will put his pack down on the beach and lean his rod against it then go in the bush to take a pee, and some other guy will step into his place and begin to fish. The other guy will return and say it was his spot and the fight is on. I nod knowingly. The Vedder is the most heavily fished river in B.C. The Kitimat is close behind. Both rivers are powered by hatcheries and both are kill fisheries. Hatchery fisheries tend to bring out the worst in fishermen in a highly charged competitive atmosphere. I turn on the Copper River Main. Somebody has used the signs for target practice, Nick observes. And, sure enough, somebody has. Every one of them has bullet holes or has been partially shot away. Discharging fire arms on roadways is illegal, dangerous, and troubling. Ethical hunters would never

hair walking up the hill at one kilometre on the Copper Main. She is wearing a skimpy outfit and looks as if she’d recently had a tumble in a clothes dryer. I tell Nick that I’ve been driving this road for 40 years and have never seen a woman walking along it. At the two-kilometre board, three vehicles are parked on the road a few feet past an expansive pullout frequently used by the heavy machinery operators. A bare foot sticks out of the canopy of the first. These cars are probably the ones that couldn’t fit in Cody Skog’s abandoned property across the way where there was obviously a party the night before. I give Nick a hasty tour of the river. He catches some more steelhead. Late in the afternoon we make our way into Baxter’s riffle. Bottles are strewn about between the ragged remains of messy campfires. Some slob has dragged the remnants of a wooden packing crate with nails sticking out of it and unsuccessfully attempted to use it as kindling for his fire. With the beauty and cleanliness of Banff and Jasper still fresh in my mind, I look at this crap then up to the clear cut patchwork on the Zymoetz Valley and wonder how we, the citizens of Skeena could have allowed one of world’s greatest salmon streams to be treated so shabbily, and what impression young Nick and all the other tourists that visit it are taking home with them.

The Skeena Valley Fall Fair is back for 2012! Although the last Fall Fair was 2006, there is now renewed energy and enthusiasm. The community has responded and has become involved. Local agriculture has always been a big part of the Skeena Valley, and the Fall Fair is our chance to celebrate that. In addition, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a resurgence in local, backyard, and sustainable food-growing. Urbanites are raising chickens in their backyards; new gardeners are talking to their friends about their ďŹ rst efforts at growing squashes, beans and beets, and there are, of course, those unrecognized experts whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been there--growing beautiful ďŹ&#x201A;owers, gorgeous vegetables, and bountiful fruits. The Fall Fair is the perfect place to celebrate all of these talents!
ENJOY THE FALL FAIR! ..Welcomes You to The Fall Fair! 250-638-7929 #114-4716 Lazelle Ave
