Treaty details emerge THE Kitsumkalum First Nation stands to receive more than $40 million and the Kitselas First Nation more than $30 million and each will receive thousands of hectares around Terrace, according to documents released Sept. 10. The documents take the form of a draft or preliminary agreement in principle for each First Nation and will, if approved, pave the way to negotiations for final treaty settlements. Each First Nation will also receive substantial self-governing powers over lands and resources and services such as health care and education. “This will be a huge benefit to the City of Terrace and to the region,” said Gerald Wesley, the chief treaty negotiator for the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas, of the certainty for economic and social development that will come from final settlements. He encouraged residents of the area to read and understand details of the two draft agreements. Final treaty agreements for the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum would, when taken together with the Nisga’a treaty of 2000, provide certainty for economic development on a level not seen elsewhere in the province. The lack of land ownership clarity in B.C. stemming from unresolved aboriginal rights and title has long been regarded as a hindrance to investors. But much work still needs to be done leading to final agreements, cautioned Wesley and others involved in negotiations which so far have taken 15 years of actual talks. The draft agreements in principle released this week will now be reviewed by government officials before being initialed as complete. Members of the two First Nations must then approve of the agreements in community votes to be held next February. If passed by Kitsumkalum on Feb. 23, 2013 and Kitselas on Feb. 24, 2013, the agreements will then be approved by the federal and provincial governments, enabling negotiators to start on final agreements. A rejection by one First Nation of its agreement in principle does not affect the agreement of the other if it is approved. Kitsumkalum and Kitselas members will again be asked to approve of final agreements in separate votes and the agreements must receive legislative consent by B.C. and Canada. Wesley said it could be three to five years yet before final settlements are concluded once agreements in principle are approved. “We can always hope it’s less than that, but it’s probably two years at a bare minimum,” he said. And although the draft agreements in principle contain the essential elements of final agreements, there still might be changes as negotiations proceed. The land, 45,406.3 hectares or 454 square miles for Kitsumkalum and 36,158.7 hectares or 362 square miles for Kitselas, comes from the provincial Crown and does not involve private land holdings. Under treaty negotiations principles in BC, the province is responsible for land and resource elements while the federal government provides the cash which works out to $44.2 million for Kitsumkalum and $34.7 million for Kitselas.

A brief guide to treaty details What’s up WITH the draft agreements in principle for the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas now released, each party will now put theirs through their respective approval processes. Canada and B.C. will seek internal approval from their various departments and principles and Kitsumkalum and Kitselas will hold community votes on February 23 & 24, 2013. Changes to the AIP may still be necessary.

Lands THE Kitsumkalum treaty settlement lands would be 45,406.3 hectares (approx. 112,201 acres or 454 sq. km) with the majority located northwest of Terrace. The Kitsumkalum current reserve size is 597 hectares. Kitselas treaty settlement lands would be 36,158.7 hectares (approx. 89,350 acres or 362 sq. km) and located south and northeast of Terrace. Current Kitselas reserves take up 1069.1 hectares. Final agreements would bring full ownership, management and control over treaty settlement lands. This includes ownership of all forestry and mineral resources. The lands will no longer be Indian Reserves and Final Agreement negotiations may consider additional lands.

Money THE Kitsumkalum will receive a $44.2

million capital transfer and the Kitselas a $34.7 million capital transfer. The capital transfer will not affect money for programs and services. Health and education benefits continue to be provided by Canada and B.C. Tax exemptions under the Indian Act will eventually be phased out after 8 years for sales tax and after 12 years for income and property tax. Kitsumkalum/Kitselas will receive all property tax revenues. Canada will provide all revenues and B.C. will provide half of the revenues from income tax and sales tax on treaty settlement lands. Final agreement negotiations may consider additional capital transfer amounts.

People KITSUMKALUM has 708 registered members (239 living on-reserve) and Kitselas has 584 registered members (273 living on-reserve). Members will continue to be status Indians for the purposes of programs and services, such as health and education, except in regards to the taxation as explained above. Anyone of Kitsumkalum/Kitselas ancestry will be eligible for treaty benefits.

Laws BOTH First Nations will have new lawmaking authorities for lands, land use and land management. Social services will be provided to Kitsum-

kalum/Kitselas members on their lands. Education and teaching of the Sm’algyx language will be included under law-making authority as will culture and heritage and hunting and gather. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms will apply to Kitsumkalum/ Kitselas governments. Kitsumkalum/Kitselas constitutions will be developed with community input and provide the structure of Kitsumkalum/Kitselas governments protections for Kitsumkalum/Kitselas members law-making process and process for challenging the validity of laws. There will be financial standards laws.

Hunting and gathering ABORIGINAL rights and hunting and gathering rights are not extinguished and will continue throughout the traditional territory. Rights continue to be constitutionally protected. The crown will still be required to consult for projects that affect lands or rights. Kitsumkalum/Kitselas will have law-making in regards to wildlife management among members. Hunters are still not expected to pay for licenses or abide by seasonal restrictions unless necessary for conservation. Non-members will not be allowed to hunt

or gather on treaty settlement lands without consent. The parties will also negotiate harvesting of marine resources other than fish during final agreement talks should the agreements in prin-

Fish missing so far FISHING RIGHTS aren’t included in the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum draft agreements in principle. Kitsumkalum and Kitselas chief treaty negotiator Gerald Wesley said the decision to leave fishing out for now from negotiations leading to final agreements rests with a federal government decision made after it struck a Royal Commission to examine the Fraser River fishery. The Cohen Commission was created to look into the reasons

for the collapse of the 2009 Fraser River fishery and until its report is released and recommendations considered, the federal government said it won’t negotiate fishery agreements as part of land claims treaties. Wesley said Kitsumkalum and Kitselas negotiators had the option of leaving talks altogether or continuing on with the understanding that a final agreement for each First Nation would only be negotiated when each one included fish.

In the end, the negotiators chose to keep working on the agreement in principle and address fishing later on. “The lack of a completed fishing chapter would be a major concern,” said Wesley of what would happen if negotiations for a final agreement wound down without addressing aboriginal rights to fish and other marine resources. As much as Wesley said he now will vote in favour of approving an agreement in principle for his home First Na-

tion of Kitsumkalum, he’d feel quite different if fisheries remained unaddressed in a final agreement. “It’s highly unlikely we would move on an agreement without fish,” he said. Fishing provisions within land claims settlements with the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum would include food, ceremonial and commercial fishing provisions and allocations. Financial aid is also available to First Nations seeking to develop commercial fisheries.

ciple be approved.

What’s next APPROVAL of the agreements in principle require ‘yes’ votes by 50 per cent plus 1 of

registered members who turn out to vote. Members must be over the age of 18 to vote. If the agreements are approved, final treaty negotiations can begin. All lands, including forests and minerals,

will be protected and cannot be sold or leased while negotiations continued. If one community votes ‘yes’ and the other ‘no’, the ‘yes’ community will continue final negotiations.

From front

Talks have cost millions to date These are called capital transfers and the money won’t replace that which already flows to the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum for health and education and other services. The negotiations have so far cost the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas nearly $5 million. It’s money borrowed from the federal government and will be repaid from the cash portion of final agreement provisions. These negotiations have been unlike others in B.C. because they involve two neighouring communities, essentially resulting in two

agreements for the price of one. Wesley said it made sense for Kitsumkalum and Kitselas to combine efforts for better efficiency and to better share resources. The negotiations diverged when specific Kitselas and Kitsumkalum interests needed to be addressed. “Eventually there will be a treaty for each individual First Nation,” said Wesley. Wesley said he will be voting in favour of the agreement in principle for his home First Nation of Kitsumkalum and will be urging others to vote ‘yes’ as well.

Growing ahead Terrace’s economy has room to expand in an unexpected way By Samantha Garvey

OCALS remember the feeling that existed for a day or so in early June 2007. At the worst of the late spring flooding that year, Hwy 16 east and west of the City of Terrace was, albeit very temporarily, cut off. While the area did not run out of food, milk all but disappeared from grocery stores and there was a mini run on essentials. It served as a reminder to all of how connected the city is to a complex trucking distribution system. In fact, the City of Terrace’s Terrace 2050, a plan looking at ways the area could be more independent, says the food supply would run out after three days if access was cut off. “All of our food is trucked in,” says city official Tara Irwin. “We are lacking any selfreliance.” It’s why one of the objectives of Terrace 2050 is to increase local food production. Along with the Regional District of KitimatStikine, the city has begun with a first step of mapping out land now being used to grow food and land that has farming potential in the area north to Rosswood, west to New Remo, east to Chimdemash and south to Old Remo. “We just want to find out what’s being done where,” Irwin said. Once that is done the second step is to build awareness of food growing potential in the expectation that local governments will encourage food production and that a customer base can be developed so that growing food locally makes economic sense. “We get a sense of support from the community,” said Ted Pellegrino of the regional district who, with Irwin, is piloting the move toward increasing local food production. A local food revival would reverse a loss in the number of farms in the region. According to Statistics Canada, farming in the region has declined. Compared to 134 farms in 2006, as of 2011 there are only 126 farms, the large majority of which are hobby farms, with revenues between $10,000 an $99,999. Only 1 of 5 farms with 1,120 acres or more remains active in 2011 compared to 2006. Historically, Terrace and area has struggled to establish an agricultural base. “The Greater Terrace area never reached its agricultural importance originally predicted for it,” the Terrace 2050 document reads. In the 1920s and 1930s, orchard fruits, small fruits and root vegetables grew exceptionally well, leading to the area being called “the Okanagan of the North.” Commercial quantities of apples and cherries were ex-

ported by rail as far as the Prairies. And to this day, vintage fruit trees populate yards within and without city limits. Hay, poultry, livestock and dairy products were also produced. These products were sold locally or occasionally in Prince Rupert. Peak production was in the late 1940s, and residents supplemented their other incomes with large gardens and livestock. But as the forest industry took hold in the region, offering better pay and shorter hours than growing food did, production declined. Rising land costs, low prices for farm products and a lack of marketing to sell those products discouraged those who might be interested in a career in farming. The 1960s saw improvements to Highway 16, making it easier and more efficient to import cheaper productions. A population boom the same decade resulted in farmland being divided into residential lots to meet demand. Marketing challenges persisted into the 1970s, the Terrace 2050 report continued. “Local producers were unable to guarantee volume, quality or timing of products for the major stores,” read the document. Many of these same challenges persist today. “[The challenge is] a lack of labour, people willing to work farms when they could work less hard in another industry and make more,” said Pellegrino. “ ... Businesses like Save On, they need a steady supply. They need a reliable supply,” added Lynda Gagne, a University of Victoria professor in the School of Public Administration, who is volunteering time on analyzing farming in the region. “If we’re going to deal with supermarkets, we’re going to need a distribution system.” But unlike the past, the cheap imported foods may be rising in cost along with the

Right now, the taxes received by the city are 45 per cent from residential, 45 per cent from business and the remaining 10 per cent is made up of taxes from utility, light industrial, recreation and farming. But Bowles said that there wouldn’t be a need to choose between new industrial development and agricultural development because there is enough land in Terrace for both. Gagne added that there is land available that has already been cleared. “In the shorter term, five to 20 years, we should expect to see already cleared local land means to get it here in the not-so-distant fusuitable for farming being used to its full poture.

Tax time IT’S time for city council’s annual trip south to the Union of BC Municipalities convention. This year, the association of local governments meets Sept. 24-28 at the Victoria Conference Centre, a short sprint through the lobby of the adjoining Empress Hotel from the legislative buildings in the Inner Harbour and as pretty a spot as you’ll find in any urban landscape. But this time city council has more than the view and usual conference goodies on its mind. Together with the Kitimat-Stikine regional district, city council has financed a $17,000 study into tax fairness. It’s a key part of the effort to have the provincial government turn over portions of tax revenue that’ll be generated from the major northwest economic development projects either underway or about to start. It’s not an unreasonable request. The premise is that local governments are being asked to provide services for these new projects, located beyond local taxing authority jurisdictions, without the benefit of tax revenues to offset the expense. There’s ample precedent for a program of this kind – northeastern local governments receive a piece of the tax revenues collected by the province from that region’s oil and gas industries. So it is not a matter of should this happen in the northwest. It’s a matter of how and when it happens, meaning the job of the city and regional district is to get a fair deal.

The article referred to a triple homicide in Kitimat July 3, 1997 when Kevin Louis Vermette allegedly shot to death three young men and severely wounded a fourth with a sawed-off shotgun at point blank range in Hirsch Creek Park. Tuesday night, largely due to a distant neighbour who split major firewood blocks for some fifteen minutes after midnight, I was having trouble sleeping and sat down at the computer to read while I munched a slice of smoked Gouda sandwiched in half a bun. Cheese is supposed to have a soporific effect. True or not, I like smoked Gouda. The series of photos that led the article immediately brought back the crime which had so shocked Kitimat that long ago Saturday night. The first photo, shown after the crime, was of Vermette relaxing on a porch, facing the camera, wearing metal framed glasses. He had al-

I remember being visited by RCMP soon after the murders, a chilling experience made worse by my business card in the constable’s hand. I felt guilty by association.

All the while his heart rate shot up stressing his heart, his entire body, and putting himself and others at risk of a life-altering accident. A fellow guest was a young mother committed to a life in a wheelchair in the blink of an eye when a driver of Trey’s mentality deliberately smashed into the car she and several other teens were riding in as retaliation for some perceived slight. I can see Vermette reacting in the same hair-trigger style as Trey, and 15 years later five families are still suffering the effects. Vermette’s mother died without knowing where he is, whether he is alive or dead. Vermette with his black lab, Shadow, disappeared; no confirmed sighting has ever been reported. A reward of $17,500 was increased in 2010 to $25,000 by interest accrued on the reward held in trust. If he is alive, it’s a wonder Facebook has not located him.

Such potential customers would arrive at my shop to discuss their restoration plans months, even years, ahead of actually placing an order, if indeed they ever did. I suspect Vermette had stopped in, scouted my shop, and left with a business card. As for why Vermette looked familiar? I have no idea. The name would be familiar; I went to school with a Vermette family in Saskatchewan. News reports at the time painted Vermette as a man with a short fuse, who had been at loggerheads with more than one Kitimat young man over this or that including slashing of his tires and overly loud music in the gym where he worked out.

The Mail Bag Smoke and mirrors at the college

CAMERON ORR PHOTO

THE KITIMAT hatchery in Kitimat plays an important role in rearing fish for release in the northwest.

Let’s keep it civil, please Dear Sir: I’m responding to Rob Brown’s column of Aug. 22, 2012 in which he writes about the use of hatcheries to supplement wild fish populations. The column is called “Hatcheries” and it in-

volves the provincial government review of its Steelhead Stream Classification Policy. It’s obvious Mr. Brown does not like hatcheries to be used in this context. And he’s particularly critical of the BC

Wildlife Federation’s role in safeguarding and enhancing fish populations. But I would like to remind Mr. Brown of the rules of etiquette for commenting which he will find on the website of The Terrace Stan-

dard, the very newspaper which publishes his column. These rules encourage readers who do respond to articles and columns to avoid personal attacks, to avoid using offensive language and to not make

unsubstantiated allegations. I would advise Mr. Brown to read these rules carefully. And I quote: “Let’s keep comments civil, smart, ontopic, free of profanity.” Rick Simpson, Kelowna, BC

Dear Sir: As a lifetime honourary member of the faculty union at Northwest Community College, I am always interested in what happens at the college. Coming back from vacation I learned that the college is receiving $1.2 million in capital investment money. Why does that number sound familiar? That is the exact number of dollars recently cut resulting in more than a dozen instructors being terminated, which will, not withstanding the president’s assurances obviously mean cuts to programs. That is, no teacher, no class ergo – cuts. I heard the college is also receiving about $800,000.00 for maintenance, this amount is about half of what has been cut from maintenance the last few years. More smoke and mirrors; cut in April give back in September, perhaps more will be returned closer to the election. I am also hearing that the Academic Workers Union is suing the college alleging that the college act was not adhered to during the resent termination of instructors. You would think that with a couple of dozen non teaching administrators, someone could be assigned to read the collective agreements and familiarize themselves with pertinent legislation. Who is to blame for the sad state of the college? The neo-Liberals in Victoria of course, but also the present and previous leadership who allowed the deficits to balloon mostly by a continuous increase in the number of administrators, and the board of governors who allowed all of this to happen. Being handpicked loyal BC liberals they are not pushing back in support of the college. John Jensen, Terrace, BC

Many forces line up against reﬁnery plan

hatever the flaws in David Black’s plan to build an oil refinery here, I think he has done a service in putting the spotlight on the value-added issue. It is a reasonable question: why should Canada export crude and settle for those dollars when it can make even more by exporting the finished products? And creating thousands of construction jobs and then long term jobs in doing so. Over the last several years prior to my retirement I asked those connected to or knowledgeable about the industry why refineries - or at the very least upgraders were not being built in Alberta to process the oil sands product. The answer was always, “The economics don’t work.” Not a particularly informative response, but there you are. So in the wake of Black’s announcement I contacted a source who is about as knowledgeable as anyone in the oil patch media. Noting I had read a story the day before about Japan importing

crude and making $4-$6 per barrel on the refined product, I asked him, “So what’s wrong with the economics?” His response: “Simple answer is that the cost of building a brand new upgrader/refinery is much more expensive than expanding an existing one.” He pointed out that in the middle of the last decade some oil sands producers had bought outright American refineries to process Alberta bitumen or cut deals with US refiners which saw them take a chunk of ownership as part of increasing the capacity of those facilities. So while there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth that the US is using its advantage of being the only outlet for oil sands crude to get it on the cheap, some companies at least are receiving the benefits of that “cheap” crude because they are making money at the other end. In that I found an echo of the never-ending softwood lumber dispute. BC forest companies such as West Fraser got dinged with pu-

MALCOLM BAXTER nitive penalties on its exports to the US for allegedly being “subsidised” through low stumpage rates. The US then diverted its illgotten gains to American sawmills, including some owned by, you guessed it, West Fraser. So while the company was getting a kicking on its BC operations, it was getting a windfall in the States. The swings and roundabouts

of multi-nationalism. Another point he made concerned pricing. Upgrading/refining here is more attractive only when the price of Canadian heavy oil/bitumen is a whole lot lower than West Texas Intermediate, a US benchmark price. Conversely, the narrower the price range, the less incentive to upgrade in Alberta. While the differential is wide right now, the industry expects that to narrow in the future. So, given the volatility of the differential, spending billions on a refinery in Canada makes no sense. He made one other point that had occurred to me: why would China, which has been buying into the oil sands and backing the Northern Gateway project, want to import higher cost refined products when they could import diluted bitumen and keep the value-added profit for themselves. One other factor I’d add is the attitude of the shareholders of the oil-producing companies. If they are receiving decent

dividends each year and the value of the company’s shares is edging up steadily, they are solidly within their comfort zone. So they are not going to be too enthusiastic about that particular boat being rocked by the expenditure of billions of dollars on a refinery that has a multi-year payback period. You see that kind of attitude when company A spends billions to take over company B. Invariably company A’s shares immediately dip in the wake of the announcement. So what’s the solution. My own knee-jerk nationalistic reaction is why not just slap a hefty export tax on oil sands exports to force the building of refineries here? The realistic side of me, however, recognises that ain’t going to work in this age of free trade agreements, never mind what retaliatory actions the US would undoubtedly take. That’s a pity.

Nass bootleg busting cop talks to chamber TRYING TO kick bootleggers out of the Nass Valley is difficult work but governments, health care groups and police are working together on the problem with some success. Lisims/Nass Valley RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Donovan Tait talked about this to Terrace Chamber of Commerce members at their monthly luncheon and said he wanted to share some of the challenges faced in the Nass Aug. 23. “There is no place to buy liquor legally in the Nass,” he said, adding that there are no statistics about how much liquor gets there from Terrace but he would say most of it. “A lot of liquor flows down Hwy 113 to the Nass.” With seven officers to police the Nass Valley, the RCMP’s effectiveness of what it can do is very limited so he has reached out to people. He credited the village governments, matriarchs and residents with spearheading several events to combat the illegal liquor trade in the Nass. In March, Kincolith village councillors and young people marched around the village with signs to “Take Back the Village” from the bootleggers and drug dealers. Elders and RCMP members marched with them in support. In July, the New Aiyansh Village Government and police delivered “problem property notices” at homes of known bootleggers and drug dealers “in the spirit of healing and communication,” the police announced at that time. Young people took part as well. From his 17 years in the RCMP, which has involved being in the drug unit, plainclothes, and crime reduction, Tait applied his drug expertise to alcohol issues in the valley, he said. Since he transferred to the Nass in November 2011, nine search warrants have been executed on known bootleggers, he said. “The first one was shocking what was in there; firearms, drugs, all sorts of things,” he said. “The residence did go into an area fashioned like a beer and wine store. You could walk in and buy just about anything for twice the price.” As a result of the search warrants, he’s heard that alcohol is getting harder to come by in the Nass. But enforcement can be ineffective as prosecu-

tors are busy and even if police make a case and get a search warrant, lawyers can attack the validity of the search warrant, he said. At the end of the day, because it’s a Liquor Act offence, the culprit is looking at a fine – no one is going to jail, said Tait. Those who sell liquor illegally know when their regular buyers will have money, such as when social assistance is given out each month, he said. Illegal alcohol purchases are done with cash so there’s no record of it and police can’t track the transaction like they could with credit or debit, he said. Troubling things have happened in the Nisga’a nation because of alcohol coming from Terrace, he said. People will get paid social assistance and then pay double or triple the price of alcohol here – a case of beer can cost $50 in Kincolith – and their kids will go without a proper meal or clothing, he added. There are no rules for how much a liquor outlet can sell to a person, said Tait. “It is shocking, so we rely on the good judgement and morals of folks who sell the liquor,” he said, adding that the police do not want to interfere with business interests or tell business owners what they can and can’t do. A pickup truck full of cases of liquor is something concerned citizens could call the police about, he added. “That would be considered in my world suspicious,” said Tait, referring to a vehicle full of liquor. However, police might pull over a vehicle, but there’s nothing to say it’s illegal to carry a large amount of alcohol – because of the distance from the Nass to Terrace, people don’t come down here often for supplies so they will stock up on items, including liquor, when they are here. Since alcohol is a physical addiction, those who have developed a dependency on it will have withdrawal symptoms if they quit and even if they make the choice to stop drinking, they can’t, he said. Police have arrested people who know they need help and say so, but someone two doors down might be selling alcohol, said Tait. “These folks have to want help and engage in getting help,” he said. There is no long-term treatment centre in the Nass.

Family roots of lookout builder planted strongly in community THE AUG. 29, 2012 feature on the 100th anniversary of the Thornhill Mountain lookout and the work done to renovate the structure brought out a lot of information – including the name of its original builder. His name was Thomas C.M. Turner, said Brenda De Jong, a granddaughter. Turner was born in Beith, Scotland in 1891 and moved here following in his father’s footsteps, who arrived

shortly after the turn of the 20th century. Turner fought in the First World War with the Canadian military and reached the rank of corporal. He met his wife Rose in London. After they married they sailed across the Atlantic and took a train to arrive back in Terrace. It was then that Turner built the original lookout. He was a carpenter by trade as was his father.

He also built the Old Williams Creek bridge, which was washed away in 1978. Late in his career, he became the building inspector for Terrace. He died in 1956. Still living in Ter-

race are three of his grandchildren, de Jong, her older brother, Brian Turner, and her cousin Gary Turner, as well as five great grandchildren and numerous great great grandchildren. To build the Thorn-

hill Mountain lookout, de Jong said her grandfather told her that all the lumber had to be carried up the hill by horse back. “Back then, there was no other way to do it,” added Brian Turner.

Effort renewed to move Cain to Kitimat shelter ANOTHER ATTEMPT will be made to get approval to move a dog from the Thornhill animal shelter to the Kitimat Humane Society shelter. Accused of biting a child in the spring, Cain, a German shepherd, has been locked up at the Kitimat-Stikine regional district’s Thornhill shelter ever since. Authorities are seeking a court order to destroy Cain and a hearing is scheduled for December. Advocates for Cain said he will receive a higher standard of care at the Kitimat shelter than he is receiving at the Thornhill shelter and will make the request when the regional district board meets this Friday. A first request made at a regional district meeting last month failed. Maryann Ouellet, manager of the Kitimat Humane Society, said she has now submitted a letter showing that the society can legally take liability for moving Cain to its shelter and housing him there until his Dec. 11 court date. At that time a provincial court judge will determine, based on evidence from witnesses, whether the German shepherd should be put down. “The [Thornhill] bylaw officer told the board they could not transfer that responsibility to the municipality or shelter for liability,” said Ouellet. “I’ve provided them with court documented proof that it can be done. We’re just waiting to see if they will stick to their stance of not transferring the dog,” she added, referring to the Thornhill animal shelter. She added that the humane society would take all the liability on itself and that the Thornhill animal shelter would save money by not having to pay to look after him anymore. Cain was apprehended and placed into the Thornhill animal shelter after he bit a child and tore another child’s pants last April. The Thornhill animal shelter asked for a destruction order for the dog. Cain’s owner, Paul MacNeil, asked the regional district to let the dog be moved to the Kitimat Humane Society where he and his supporters believe the canine would have better care until its trial day in December. Ouellet said she hadn’t heard anything from the regional district board since its last meeting Aug. 10. In court, the judge will decide whether the dog poses a danger to the public and whether it can be rehabilitated, whether this was its first offence and

other factors, said Ouellet. And this comes after the judge hears from the dog owner and witnesses, just like a court case, she said. The victim’s family isn’t against the dog being moved to Kitimat, she said. Ken Isaak, whose three-year-old son was bitten by the dog, said his family is letting the regional district do what it does as the matter is within its jurisdiction. Attempts to contact MacNeil late last week were unsuccessful.

Terrace members of the British Columbia Government Employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union (BCGEU) could be seen at government offices around town on Sept. 5, most notably outside of the liquor store and government services offices at Eby and Lazelle. Picketers could also been seen at the Ministry of Transportation office on Keith and the BC Forestry office on Kalum. More than 27,000 unionized government workers across the province participated in the one-day strike, which they hope will call attention to the fact that direct government workers have not had a pay raise in three-and-a-half years, said BCGEU Treasurer Stephanie Smith, who was in Terrace from union head offices in Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you take into account inflation, this has actually equalled about a five per cent wage reduction,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve fallen far behind the cost of living.â&#x20AC;? The union is asking for a 3.5 per cent wage increase in the first year, to make up for the two years of no wage increases they agreed to in 2010, and a cost-of-living adjustment in the second year that will be determined at the end of March 2013. Talks broke down during contract negotiations between the BCGEU and the provincial government this spring, and the two sides have not budged from their positions with the province, saying this week that workers should not expect a wage increase anytime soon. The government has offered a 3.5 per cent wage increase over two years. Strikers were joined on the lines by the Profes-

sional Employees Association (PEA) and the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union (COPE), which represents ICBC. In Victoria last Wednesday, Premier Christy Clark weighed in on the walkout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on this hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed,â&#x20AC;? Clark said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not going back to taxpayers for more money in order to give government workers a raise. We are in very tough economic times and we have to balance our budget.â&#x20AC;? But the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position is that wage increases do not have to be financed by taxpayers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to see our public liquor stores open on Sundays and have extended hours, and ideally even expand the public liquor store system,â&#x20AC;? said Smith, noting that Ontario is bring in a similar model to the one the BCGEU proposed to the government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect that to bring in $100 million annually.â&#x20AC;? The union has also suggested using sheriffs to take over traffic enforcement duties from the RCMP, enabling them to do criminal code work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This could result in a total of about $180 million annually,â&#x20AC;? she said. But the government has not listened to their suggestions, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They absolutely refuse to listen to us,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a matter of fact, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at privatizing the liquor distribution branch warehouse system which would take away that money as a revenue stream for the citizens of British Columbia.â&#x20AC;? This is the first time in 20 years this many government workers have been on the picket line. Essential service workers like firefighters, child protection services, and correctional officers did not participate in the job action.

Mayor hopes Chinese trip builds business contacts

LIQUIDATION SALE

20 to 70% OFF

ALL IN-STORE MERCHANDISE ONLY

By Anna Killen TERRACE MAYOR Dave Pernarowski has returned from a nine-day trip to China sponsored by a Chinesebased timber supply company interested in expanding operations to the Terrace area. The Chairman of Yaroun Wood Company Ltd., Guiying Liu, which holds a number of B.C. Timber Licences and owns a chipper mill in Hazelton, invited the mayor and his wife to China to see the company’s Chinese operations and to meet with government officials, business leaders, tourism operators and school administrators. “I had a very successful nine days promoting Terrace and our region,” said Pernarowski of the late August trip. “While we didn’t fly first class, we were treated like royalty everywhere we went in China.” Yaorun covered the majority of the cost of the trip, said Pernarowski, with he and his wife paying a portion of the expenses. The full cost of the trip will be reported on the municipal documents that track gifts received by the mayor and council, he said. The mayor met Liu through local immigration consultant Adam Tang, who acted as Lui’s interpreter during Lui’s initial trip to Terrace and during the five days Lui toured with the mayor in China. “[Lui] owns log sorting yards and numerous wood processing facilities in China around the port city of Lianyungang,” said Pernarowski, noting that he watched B.C. logs arrive at the port. Yaorun Wood is “very interested in expanding his operations to the Skeena Industrial Park where he could have a log sorting yard and an expanded hightech wood processing plant,” he said. The province confirmed that the company is looking to set up shop in Terrace. “Yaroun is in the process of acquiring one timber sale licence near Terrace and may bid on others as they come up in the timber sales

During the trip, the mayor also met with Teddy Cui, the owner of Terrace’s Skeena Sawmills who also owns a log sorting yard in the Lianyungang Port. He toured two heavy equipment manufacturing facilities, spent one afternoon with two young Chinese students who wanted the experience of speaking with English people, and toured a middle school and a secondary school where he discussed English as a Second Language program opportunities he will pass along to the school board. The mayor also met with travel agencies in Vancouver and Beijing who specialize in Chinese clients. “There were a number of companies I met with that expressed interest in the major project activity in the regions and indicated they would like to come see our city first hand,” he said. “There are also some easy steps we could take to attract many of the Chinese tourists that currently land in Vancouver and typically stay in the lower mainland.” The trip ended with meetings with immigration and education consultants in Shanghai, a

city with a population about the same size as Canada. “The scale of development going on in China is actually hard to describe other than to say it’s massive,” said Pernarowski.

He said the trip was a unique opportunity for him to see what is happening in China with his own eyes and identify areas that could benefit the community and surrounding northwest area.

Councillor returns to Terrace home A WELL-KNOWN city councillor who has been fighting a rare disease has returned home. Lynne Christiansen came back to Terrace Sept. 1 and spent a week at Mills Memorial Hospital. She had spent two weeks at St. Paul’s Hospital – a few days of which was in an induced coma, after being diagnosed with Wegener’s disease – a rare autoimmune disorder.

She was discharged Sept. 6, said her dad Clarence Warner. “Her children are here right now and of course, we’re doing whatever we can for her,” he said. “I don’t think she will be cured of this but she has to take ongoing fairly heavy medication for it and I think she will definitely not be working for some time.” Wagner said Christiansen is also now taking physical therapy.

Biter sentenced A WOMAN who bit a police officer while being arrested was sentenced in provincial court last week. Samara Olson, 27, will spend 90 days under a conditional sentence order and then one year on probation after she pleaded guilty to assault, assaulting a peace officer and causing bodily harm, and mischief $5,000 and under in provincial court Sept. 6. Police reported that a 27-year-old woman kicked in the door of a residence on Pear St. around 10 p.m. Jan. 26. She then ripped a DVD player from the wall to steal it. A 17-year-old girl resident of the house then awoke, at which point the woman attacked the girl, punching her in the face, said police. The girl’s mother pulled her off the girl and pushed her out of the house, said police. Police arrested the woman in the area, at which point she flew into a rage, struck one police officer in the face, and then bit his arm, breaking through three layers of clothing and through his skin,

said police. Witnesses helped police get control of her, said police. In another incident, on March 26, 2011, the loss prevention officer at Save On Foods told

police that a woman had kicked him in the face while he tried to arrest a male, court heard. Olson denied kicking anyone but admitted to trying to pull the “store guy” off the man,

Ofﬁcer spat upon PROVINCIAL prosecutors are following up on an incident in which police arrested two men for public intoxication. According to the RCMP activity report for the 24-hour period ending 8 a.m. Sept. 7, police observed two intoxicated men passed out on Emerson St. in downtown Terrace. “Police arrested the 31 and 35 year old men for public intoxication,” the report states. The report then states the 31-year-old man spit into the face and neck of the arresting police officer, and then threatened the police officer. Charges of assaulting a peace officer are being forwarded to Crown Counsel for approval. In a separate incident for that 24-hour period, a 23-year-old woman faces shoplifting charges after being arrested at Safeway.

RCMP ofﬁcer disciplined for assault By Margaret Speirs A LOCAL RCMP officer charged with assaulting a woman in the cell block will not have a criminal record. Const. Robert Hull was handed a conditional discharge with one year probation by Judge Agnes Krantz in provincial court Sept. 7. “Just I’m very sorry it happened. I wish it hadn’t. Believe me, the stuff I’ve been through since has weighed very heavily on me and caused stress in my relationship. Being off work was difficult. I felt like I had no purpose. Since I’ve been back, I’ve made changes and am trying to make sure it never ever happens again,” said Hull when asked by Krantz if he had anything to say before sentencing. On Oct. 17, 2010, an

intoxicated woman at a local pub assaulted the bar manager and police were called, said prosecutor Ronald Toews in reviewing the circumstances. She fell down the stairs, was put in a police vehicle and taken to the detachment where she was loud and argumentative, court heard. Along with Const. Hull were two other officers, Const. Chad King and Const. Kendra Felkar, who also had custody of the woman, court heard. Hull and the woman had words, which King regarded as unprofessional and that Hull was egging her on, court heard. As she was escorted into the cell, she kicked Hull in the groin, said Toews. “[She] was taken into the cell and while

under the control of another officer, Hull came in and punched her in the head,” said Toews, adding the woman was bleeding. “While provoked, nevertheless in no way was it an act of self defence.” Toews played a police cell videotape that showed the punch and provided photos taken

afterward showing the woman with a bloody nose and damaged lip. When interviewed, King and Felkar said that Hull had said something about not wanting to appear to be a wimp, said Toews. Defence lawyer Albert King said Hull had no prior criminal record. “He’s done every-

thing right in his life up until this moment,” he said, referring to the punch. Hull had graduated from RCMP training in February 2009 and was on a work probationary period for six months before becoming a full member in late 2009, so at the time of the assault, he was a very inexperienced officer,

Ofﬁcers shoot bear within city RCMP officers shot a bear within city limits last week, indicates an RCMP activity report for the 24hour period ending 8 am Sept. 7. The bear was first reported to be at the Nor-Burd Sales and Service business location on Hwy16 West. RCMP officers went to the location and observed the bear on the block of Park Ave. that is behind Nor-Burd. The bear was then shot by police in the back lot of Macarthy Motors which is adjacent to Nor-Burd. Conservation officers retrieved the carcass. With fall approaching and with bears searching for food before retiring to dens for the winter, people are being reminded to watch out for bears and to avoid leaving garbage cans out overnight and to pick fruit which can attract the animals.

said King. “He is remorseful and went through an RCMP disciplinary hearing and was disciplined,” he said, explaining that Hull was held back and not considered for any promotion for six months, which cost him $5,000. Hull isn’t an overzealous, rude officer who pushes someone

Gov’t to probe jobless numbers JOBS MINISTER Pat Bell has repeated a commitment to find out why the jobless rate for the northwest remains in the double digits despite major projects now underway or about to start. Speaking Sept. 7, Bell said August’s posted jobless rate of 11.8 per cent seems at odds with anecdotal evidence he’s heard – and seen – about activity in the area. “We know the opportunities for the TerraceKitimat area are significant,” said Bell, adding he expects the jobless number to shrink in the coming months. Bell said he’s directed his officials to speak with officials from Statistics Canada, the federal agency that compiles the figures, to probe what he termed “anomalies” with the numbers. Bell made similar

comments last month when the July doubledigit numbers came out. He said the problem may rest with how people who are coming from other areas to work on projects here are counted. Still, Bell held the line at conducting audits of companies to determine where their employees actually live. Statistics Canada’s reported jobless rate of 11.8 per cent is virtually unchanged from July’s 11.9 per cent and June’s 12.2 per cent for the area running from the north coast to just west of Vanderhoof. The number of people working has also dropped – to 38,100 in August compared to 38,400 in July at a time when major economic projects are either underway or about to start up. Last August the job-

As Canada’s baby boomers continue to reach retirement age, Terrace is seeing a similar trend here although it is less pronounced. Figures from the 2011 census show that the population of Terrace has increased by 1.5 per cent overall while the population aged 65 or older has grown by a rate twice as fast. The portion of the population in that age group was 11 per cent in 2006, and by 2011 senior citizens made up 13 per cent. “The tendency now for seniors is to stay in the community,” Mayor Dave Pernarowski said as a reason for the change. He added that Terrace is being realized as a great place to retire because it provides a great quality of life and the cost of living is affordable. Still, the portion of the city in the retirement age remains lower than the rest of the country. Canadians 65 years and up were 14.8 per cent of the total in 2011, up from 13.7 five years ago. And while this area has always been attractive to young workers because of industrial activity, the number of residents between the ages of 20 to 50 decreased by one per cent since 2006. Some of that loss has been attributed to the decline of the area’s forest industry, causing young people to move away to find work. “Many families were forced to move when the mills closed,” Pernarowski said. “As our economic fortunes start to turn around we’ll see more people in their twenties and thirties coming back to the city to take on the labour and construction jobs.” According to the Terrace Economic Development Authority (TEDA), this demand for workers has already began. “There are a significant amount of businesses looking for qualified employees that can’t find them,” said Evan van Dyk, TEDA’s economic development officer. Both van Dyk and Pernarowski cited jobs coming from the Northwest Transmission Line and the prospect of companies looking to build at the city’s planned Skeena Industrial Park as examples which will draw young workers back to Terrace.

less rate was 8.7 per cent and there were 44,900 people working. The northwest was the only region in the province in August to have a jobless rate in the double digits. If Bell was questioning the northwest jobless numbers and going to have his officials look into the rate and how the numbers are calculated, he was more comfortable with talking about other regions in BC and the overall provincial picture. “It’s a very good

Pat Bell month for jobs in BC,” said Bell in citing fig-

ures indicating the province has gained 51,700 jobs in the last year. “We’re No. 1 in all of Canada,” he said. Alberta ranks second and Quebec third in job creation, Bell continued. The provincial jobless rate was 6.8 per cent while it was 6.1 per cent on Vancouver Island, 7 per cent in the lower mainland, 4.7 per cent in the ThompsonOkanagan, 7.8 per cent in the Kootenays, 8.6 per cent in the Cariboo and 4.8 per cent in the

energy-rich northeast. The Sept. 7 release of jobless figures follows a provincial cabinet shuffle in Victoria this week in which Premier Christy Clark handed responsibility for skills training to Bell. Bell, who is also in charge of tourism and who was also handed the labour portfolio in the shuffle, has spoken before of the need to increase the training and educational level of northwestern residents to better their chances of finding work.

The figures released Sept. 7 are not those of people collecting Employment Insurance. They’re the product of Statistics Canada employees interviewing people over the age of 15 and those considering themselves part of the workforce are people with a job or who are looking for work. People withdraw from the workforce for any number of reasons, and not all of those reasons are associated with having employment or not.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER AN EA APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED Seabridge Gold is frequently asked what happens after it submits its Environmental Assessment (EA) application for the KSM Project this fall.

the review period. Under the CEAA review, the application is posted to its website and public comment periods are available.

First, it’s important to remember that the KSM Project is undergoing a joint federal and provincial environmental review, which is typical for major mining projects. While the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) and the BC Environmental Assessment Of¿ce (BC EAO) assess many similar areas, their legislative focus is different.

The EAO and CEAA will each complete a report documenting their respective ¿ndings from the application, including how project concerns have been addressed and whether there are any outstanding issues. Assessment reports are then posted on each of the websites. Seabridge is actively involved in these reviews, presenting aspects of the Project and answering questions from reviewers.

Screening period Under the joint review, Seabridge will submit one combined EA application to the BC EAO and the CEAA. The BC EAO and CEAA then conduct an initial screening to ensure the application is complete and that it addresses the information required in the Application Information Requirements (AIR) or terms of reference. Application reviews The application review period begins once the government agencies agree the application is complete and has all the necessary project information. The application includes a detailed project description, environmental baseline studies (soils, vegetation, water, wildlife, ¿sh, aquatics, climate, air and noise, archaeology and traditional use studies among others), as well as predicted impacts of the KSM Project on the environment (physical and social) and the actions Seabridge has taken to avoid, prevent or mitigate potential impacts. During this time, the BC EAO, CEAA, Provincial and Federal regulators, Treaty and First Nations and general public review the application. The BC EA review period is 180 days and includes 30 days for the general public to review the application and provide comments to the government. The application is on the BC EAO website during

Learn Learn more more about about the the KSM KSM Project Project

Minister’s decision period The BC EAO and CEAA forward the assessment reports to their respective ministers, along with a recommendation from the EAO about whether or not to issue an EA certi¿cate. The EAO ministers have 45 days to make their decision. The CEAA Minister of the Environment makes a decision within a similar time period. Once a decision is made There’s a common misperception that once an EA certi¿cate is granted, a company can immediately begin building a mine. That’s not the case. The Environmental Assessment is a systematic analysis and evaluation of the impacts of a proposed project in terms of its environmental, economic and social sustainability. Once an EA certi¿cate is granted, a proponent then has to apply for the necessary permits, licenses and land-use approvals (federal and provincial) in order to build and operate the mine. Learn more about the KSM Project in person Seabridge will be holding community open houses in Smithers (September 11), Terrace (September 18) and Stewart (October 18) to share more information about the KSM Project.

Hospice celebrates 20 years TERRACE HOSPICE Society celebrates its 20th year of helping people in their last days and the families who grieve the loss of their loved ones. New treasurer and volunteer Norene Parke has joined to help out as it’s a passion of hers to be there for people in their final days. “Hospice and palliative care are such an important part of any community and are one area overlooked by most communities,” says Parke.

Hospice is one of the best kept secrets, she adds. “It’s a privilege to be there when someone is born and a bigger privilege to be there when somebody dies,” she says. “It’s an amazing feeling to be part of that.” For Parke, being in hospice and sitting in the office that’s shared with the cancer society is the perfect choice for who she is. She has been involved in aspects of both, which included the

hospice society in Kamloops getting its own hospice building after many years of working to that end. A great place here for one would be close to doctors and the hospital, such as near the former helipad. “When you need help, it’s right there.” Hospice volunteers include not only doctors, clergy, health care practitioners and retired health care workers but people from all walks of life.

Local volunteers work with people who have lost loved ones with one-on-one volunteer visits, grief support and group counselling to name a few. The free lending library is quite extensive. A majority of services are for seniors but hospice does serve all ages. And that includes Terrace and area, up to the Nass Valley, down to Kitimat and out to Kitwanga. The demand for hospice will

become greater as the baby boomers age. Hospice coordinator Penny Dobbin is the glue that binds the group, says Parke. She keeps moving forward and is very friendly and approachable. “If she doesn’t have the tools, then she knows where to go for them,” says Parke. The Terrace Hospice Society is always looking for more volunteers and Parke encourages anyone with a passion for it to join.

DIETER BAHR, left, his sister Anne Rauschenberger and her son Gunther at their stall at the farmers market earlier this summer.

Produce aplenty at farmers market By Chantal Meijer “I’M THE last bona fide farmer in the area,” Dieter Bahr says, with obvious pride. A bona fide farmer, he quickly explains, is someone who makes a living off a farm. It’s a labour of love for the popular farmers market vendor who’s been supplying a bounty of fresh produce and bedding plants to market attendees for decades from his farm in Old Remo. For the last 12 years or so, Dieter’s sister Anne Rauschenberger and her son Gunther and daughter-in-law Carol have been helping Dieter at the market.

Dieter’s crops get their start in his large greenhouse. Once the seedlings are ready for the field, a “transplanter” is used to plant the seedlings directly into the ground. “I use very little fertilizer – and we don’t spray.” Dieter says. “Sometimes I seed oats and rye and plow it under for green manure.” Farming comes naturally to 75-year-old Dieter, who arrived with his parents and siblings in Old Remo in 1955. Dieter took over his parents’ farm after their passing, adding 20 acres of his own to their original 20 acres. On his 40-acre farm, about 10 acres is used for produce, some of

it is used for pasture, and some of it remains uncleared. Dieter is still living in the original family home. “My parents didn’t have a tractor in the early days,” he remembers. “It wasn’t until the 1960s that Dad bought the first tractor – from Gord Little.” “It’s a tough life, the work is hard, and there’s little pay,” Dieter summarizes. “Every once in a while the Lord throws in a flood to make it really interesting. The worst flood was in 2007. We had all kinds of problems then. Even the house was flooded.”

The popular market vendor admits he’s been at the market a long time and one gets the feeling he wouldn’t have it any other way. “I’ve been here for so long that they made me an honorary director,” he says with a chuckle. “Over the years we’ve built up a very good clientele. The Terrace people appreciate getting very good stuff. The Terrace farmers’ market is held every Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., May to October, rain or shine. It is located in downtown Terrace, adjacent to the George Little Park.

erhaps my proudest fashion moment at school was the day I walked into my Grade 2 classroom wearing white gogo boots. Expo ‘67 was just around the corner (“One, two, three, four Canadians, now we are 20,000!”) and my teacher had the coolest hairdo, a beehive. I was wearing a printed cotton minidress, a sleeveless shift. Now, to be considered go-go boots, the footwear must have the following important qualities. They must be white: check. They must have pointy toes: check and check. They must have a low, flat, almost invisible heel: got it. And they must reach no higher than mid-calf: kicky! Desert boots came later, also with strict rules plus a new, liberating caveat. To be a Desert boot it must be anklehigh, with a toe that starts to point then is cut off square. No more than four eyelets for the laces, and the colour is sand, beige, or light brown: deserty. Here’s the twist: they were unisex! Holy Adam West, Batman and Robin! Boys could wear them, too. I may have been the only girl in town to foresee this trend, ride the wave, then keep flogging it long after the horse barked up the wrong tree, but I loved Pilgrim shoes. Big chunky heel, aggressively squared-off toe, and, most important, a large, square and purely decorative buckle. When I outgrew them in Grade 4, I got a new pair for Grade 5. Passé by then, but cared I not, Brethren. The original wedge shoe was also squared off, with a Frankenstein-like height added for my junior high years. Here is the ideal outfit circa 1972: wedge shoes, plaid wide-leg pants

CHARLYNN TOEWS

Fall Fashions sweeping the floor, short, tight vest, and long sleeved button-up shirt. Think Bay City Rollers and try not to grimace. I loved that look! All my paper dolls wore it! A fashion-related tragedy occurred in Grade 8. The must-have item was brushed-cotton wide-leg pants. They were like a delicate corduroy, velvety in texture. The most coveted were in earthy jewel tones of dark blue-green or wine. I explained this to my mother in December, and she almost completely understood, because on Christmas Day my only-in-Grade-4 sister got them. Girls Size 8! No way could I steal them, I needed at least a size 10 or even 12! She did not realize the value of the gift, just said thanks. I burned in jealousy. Just then, something amazing occurred. My town of Steinbach had always had, in my memory, men’s clothing (Reiger’s), women’s clothing

(Kay’s Fashions) and children’s wear in department stores (Stylerite, Marshall Wells, and Robinson’s). Now there was a new store with clothes for teenagers, The Happening! That’s their exclamation mark! A young couple, in their 20s, ran it: he dressed like he was from Bay City, she was more like Stevie Nicks. It was unbelievably wonderful. They displayed jeans in stacked-up wooden crates, they had racks of colourful 100 per cent polyester shirts, they sold WIDE belts! It was an instant hit. Thank goodness for them, because high school was tough. The official dress code had been rescinded just before my friends and I got there: girls no longer were required to wear dresses. The new dress code was much stricter. Peer pressure meant we could only wear straight-leg jeans, and they must be Levi’s or Lee’s. Any other brand was an off-brand, like wearing K Tel’s Greatest Hits – gauche! Plus, it was too embarrassing to wear brand-new jeans: not done. For you youngsters out there, this was in the days before pre-stressed jeans, you had to stress them yourself. Wash them at least 10 times til they were good enough to wear to school. Then, one day, the unthinkable happened. It was my friend Sharon’s older sister, a Grade 12er who did it. She came to school one day wearing STAR jeans, brand-new, wide-legged. I am not exaggerating to say everybody talked. It was like a spell had been broken, and then anyone could wear anything. I’m glad the rules have been relaxed, because I have a confession to make. My go-go boots? They should have been leather or vinyl, not rubber. Yes, I admit it now: they were puddle boots.

In Loving Memory of Mary Waywitka It is with our deepest regret that we announce the passing of our Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother, Mary Waywitka. On Thursday, August 30, 2012, after a long battle with Lymphoma, the long-time resident of Terrace passed away peacefully at the age of 83 at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, with her Daughter Shirley, Granddaughter Kimberly, and Sister Evelyn, by her side. Mary was born in Veregin, Saskatchewan to parents William and Annie (Prokopchuk) Bodnaryk. Mary and her husband, John Waywitka, moved to B.C. from Swan River, Manitoba in 1964 with their four children, David, Shirley, Betty and Christine. The family eventually settled in Terrace in 1968, and Mary would soon become the manager at Sunnyhill Trailer Court where she proudly presided over the annual Beautiful Grounds Contest. After Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing in 1981 Mary worked at the Hobby Hut Ceramic Shop and then at Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ladies Wear, but Mary will be best remembered meeting and greeting friends and customers at Ridgway Feeds with her loving companion and best friend of more than 25 years, Wayne Ridgway. Mary is survived by her loving daughters, Shirley (Dale) Porter, Betty Pohl (Vaughn Lewis), Christine (Jay) Redmond; daughter-in-law Erika Waywitka; Grandchildren, Kenneth (Kathy) Porter, Kimberly Porter (Dave Kelly), Jason (Jen) Waywitka, and Justin Waywitka; Great-Grandchildren, Joel, Kai, Haillie and Case; and her many brothers and sisters. Mary was predeceased by her husband John in 1981 and her Son David in 1996. At her request there will be no formal service. A gathering of friends and family and customers will take place at Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Tuesday, October 9, 2012 between 3 pm and 7 pm. Mom you will be forever loved and missed. May God keep you forever in His arms.

Joe (Joseph Nickolaus) Benzer We are sad to announce the passing of Joe (Joseph Nickolaus) Benzer in Merritt, on September 5, 2012, at the age of 82 years. Joe was born and took all his schooling in Kelowna. He moved with his parents to Merritt in 1951. He was trained as an Electrician by his Dad and later joined the IBEW where he worked for the rest of his career. He thoroughly enjoyed his work and travelled much of the Province working at different B.C. sites. He retired to Kamloops, and returned to Merritt when he needed more care. Joe enjoyed swimming and paddling in the war canoe races at the Kelowna Regatta. He was one of the ďŹ rst people to swim across Okanagan Lake, a distance of over a kilometre. He enjoyed the outdoors, participating in hunting and ďŹ shing. He was involved in Boy Scouting, rising to a Troop Leader. Although Joe never married, he was very much a part of our families. He was especially loved by his nieces and nephews, who he used to take out for breakfast whenever they were all together. They would stop to have a visit with him anytime they went through Merritt. He was predeceased by his parents Nick and Liz, and brother Bill. He is survived by his brothers, Ernie (Kaye) in Kelowna, Art (Gail) in Montrose, sister-in-law Sybil in Terrace, and his eleven nieces and nephews and their families, also three great, great nieces. He will be missed by all the family. A special thank you to Maurice Mathieu for being a wonderful friend to Joe, visiting often, taking him out, and doing any shopping for him. You were a huge part of his life the last few years that he lived in Merritt. Also thank you to the staff at Nicola Meadows, where he lived until he needed more care. You were awesome to him, teasing and helping him and practicing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tough Loveâ&#x20AC;?. The last few months at Gillis House were made so much easier because of the very caring staff there. A special thanks to Dr. Van Der Merwe. Merritt Funeral Chapel is in charge of the arrangements. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ashes will be put in his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grave in Merritt, B.C. A marker will be added to match his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. There was a service at Gillis House on Sunday, September 9, at 1:30 pm. Nicola Meadows is having a Celebration of Life tea in memory of Joe on Saturday, September 15, from 2 to 4 pm. All are welcome. Come and bring your stories about Joe.

It’s clean up time at the pool FOR A lot of families, a yearly spring clean helps keep the home in good shape. But at the Terrace Aquatic Centre it is all about the fall clean – and aquatic centre workers are elbow-deep in the work right now. The pool is closed for four weeks until Sept. 30 for routine maintenance, deep cleaning the facility, and tackling a couple of larger projects. It’s best to do the work in the fall because summer programs are winding down and there is a bit of a break before programs ramp up in October, said aquatic manager Michael Carlyle during a tour of the facility. “It’s cleaning that can’t be done when the facility is in use,” he said of the work now underway. The shutdown begins by turning off the building’s heat and then draining the pool, all 125,00 gallons of it. Workers cordon off the area for a couple of days to assess and clean the pool basin. Then, filters, tanks, jets, and tiles are emptied, cleaned or replaced and the sauna’s inner parts are shipped away for refurbishing. The computer that manages the building’s atmosphere is checked and the lightbulbs you see above the balcony are replaced. All the while, lifeguards are detailing and scrubbing all of the nooks and crannies in the change rooms and around the building. “We’re making sure everything is spotless,” said Carlyle, noting that Q tips are even used to get into the corners of the lockers. One of two larger project priorities for the centre this year is building benches in the front entrance to allow patrons to take off their shoes and boots at the front before they go into the change room. This will stop sand, salt and dirt from getting out into the pool area and help the cleaning system work more efficiently, Carlyle said. The second priority is finishing balcony upgrades that were started last year. “We want the experience of the families

The facility is closed for a month while work goes on. that use the facility to be positive,” Carlyle said, noting that a nicer viewing area will make parents watching their kids more comfortable. While small projects and routine maintenance happens every year at this time, this year the shut down also allows a team of consultants to assess the condition of the aquatic centre and prepare a long-term plan for the 40-year-old facility. The report, prepared by Bruce Carscad-

den Architect Inc. (the same company who headed up the Sportsplex), will be the first such report in about a decade and it will help the city plan for systematic improvements. The report is in its final stages and should be ready for council to discuss in October. “The last major work was the replacement of the east wall, hot tub/leisure pool boiler and pool deck/changeroom air handling systems ... in 2009/2010,” said Carmen Didier, the city’s director of leisure services.

“We know there are other issues with the pool that we will need to address in the very near future.” Carlyle said the goal is always to make the facility as comfortable as possible for the people using the pool – but don’t expect to see a tear-down and re-build of the centre to be recommended in the report, instead, the plan will point out priority projects and a timeline to complete them efficiently.

AROUND 65 kids from Grades 6 to 12 turned up for the Thompson Rivers University (TRU) WolfPack volleyball camp at Caledonia Secondary Aug. 27-30. The morning sessions, shown here with one of the coaches Ashley Shannik, saw players from Grades 6 to 8 perform drills and work on basic skills to introduce them to the game. The older, more experienced players took to the court in the afternoon and were given the opportunity to show off what they’d learned in hard-fought late afternoon matches. This was the second year TRU coach Pat Hennelly offered his camp here in Terrace and judging from the turnout it probably won’t be the last.

Pool review More focused, well-planned out projects in the near future are better than letting the facility deteriorate so bigger renovations have to happen later, Carlyle explained. “It will help a lot with infrastructure ideas,” he said of the assessment. “And help with what is the best practise to look after the facility in the longterm.”

y Uncle Maurice taught me chess when I was nine. I became enthralled with the game and taught it to my friends so that I would have opponents handy. Later I learned that the Vancouver Chess Club met on Tuesday night of each week on Hornby Street just off Robson. When I expressed a desire to go to the club, my Mom gave me the fifty cent bus fare required to get me from North Burnaby to Vancouver city centre and back, and off I went. I found the club in a run down tenement. The building reeked of stale tobacco smoke. I pushed open the door to the room and discovered men bent over tables, pushing pieces around chess boards embossed upon card tables. Since they had probably never had a nine-year-old show up at their club looking for a game, the members regarded me as a novelty and made a real effort to welcome me. If I’d been born fifty years later and had the same inclinations, I’d be playing chess against players from all over the world via internet and sharpening my game by analyzing with, and playing against, super computers easily downloaded for free after a short Google search and capable of thrashing Garry Kasparov. When I was in my teens, I had a keen interest in the music of the Renaissance, in particular the music of most popular

■ River Kings tryouts underway TERRACE RIVER Kings veterans like Derek Jurista (left) and Skyler Andrews, along with new team hopefuls, are in the midst of tryouts for the 2012/13 season. This year the Kings play every team in the league here at least once, including some teams never before seen in Terrace. Returning coach Roger Tooms, along with assistant coaches Rob Findlay and Lenny Davis, who is new to the team this year, are hosting the final intersquad tryout game tomorrow night at the Sportsplex at 9 p.m. before finalizing the line-up early next week. Tooms says he likes to keep his squad lean, so will probably only go for four lines with a couple of extra players. As for what he looks for in a player? “Heart, respectful play, that’s a big factor for me. And obviously they have to know how to play the game,” he said during tryouts last Tuesday. The season begins with teams from Rupert, Kitimat and Smithers visiting Terrace for the CIHL Challenge Cup on Sept. 28 and 29, the first time in years the Cup has been held here.

Scott, wearing a hat with a Nike Swoosh and T-shirt emblazoned with the logo of a San Francisco tackle company, went on to extoll the catching properties of his new invention, a fly he calls The Squidro. I have some friends up in BC, says Scott, who are crunching them on this fly, he says holding up a six inch long lure that looks like a lurid hoochie, the latex squid imitation favoured by commercial trollers. Scott is confident that the primary food source of steelhead during the marine phase of their life is squid. This assumption, though widespread among anglers from the Western US, is by no means certain. Still, it was the idea behind the creation of the Intruder style steelhead flies, all of which are huge lures with heavy bead eyes articulated shanks, and short shanked salmon hooks trailing behind. The contrast between Oliver Edwards’ videos and Scott’s was dramatic. Where Edwards humbly laid out useful information for the edification anglers, Scott’s clip was an infomercial driven by branding and marketing intended to promote the Brand that is Scott Howell and sell product. One emphasized fishing. The primary concern of the other was catching.
