Call issued for regional unity HE DOESN’T care what it’s called just as long as a group of regional leaders is formed so the northwest can better control its future. It’s a key conclusion Alex Pietralla from the Kitimat-Terrace Industrial Development Society (KTIDS)-Northwest has reached as a result of a study of northeastern B.C.’s experience with an energy industry-fueled boom. Among other things, the regional group of leaders from all walks of life would act as a communications hub so that as much information flows to as many people as possible. Equally as important is planning, even if only that plan consists of goals written on a piece of paper, said Pietralla. The study of northeastern B.C., commissioned by KTIDS-Northwest, the Terrace Economic Development Authority and the District of Kitimat, anticipates a similar economic expansion in this region based on
projects either already underway or about to start. “I can’t stress enough that the northwest needs to act as a region and to work collaboratively,” said Pietralla in reviewing the study. The study, prepared by the Community Development Institute of the University of Northern British Columbia, came from a series of interviews of northeastern residents questioned on everything from local government to health care to education to local hiring. The consistent advice to come from the interviews is to communicate clearly, effectively, as early as possible and consistently in the effort to work together, said Pietralla. He noted that one of the strengths of the northeast is that it does view itself as a region ready to work together. “There you have one larger centre, Fort St. John, and a number of smaller communities around it,” said Pietralla. The northwest situation is different be-
cause it has three larger centres – Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert – and more local and regional government structures than exist in the northeast. That presents more of a challenge but Pietralla says common goals such as preparing local residents for employment, encouraging people to move here and improving recreational and social amenities can be developed. To better focus its own work as a regional development entity, KTIDS has just added “Northwest” to its name. Pietralla noted that when change happens, it happens fast and those that are not prepared, will be caught off guard. “You can sit back and let it happen. But then don’t be surprised if it’s not to your liking,” added Pietralla of events which can sweep through a region. “Let’s view change with a positive approach. Let’s embrace it.”
Some of the advice contained in the study, developing material for potential industrial investors, for example, is already underway. “It validates some of the efforts already happening,” said Pietralla. At the same time, the City of Terrace, for instance, has taken the lead in lobbying the province to share tax revenues it’ll reap when industrial projects are up and running. The need for regional unity and vision is also important when asking senior governments for financial help or other assistance, said Pietralla. “Without that, it’s easy for those governments to say, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t know where to put my money,’” Pietralla added. The study was unveiled at a session hosted yesterday by KTIDS – Northwest, the District of Kitimat and the Terrace Economic Development Authority. Pietralla will also be presenting the study in Prince Rupert.
Train access limited here By ANNA KILLEN IF YOU’RE in a wheelchair and want to travel by train to and from Terrace, you’re out of luck. The train station here does not have a mechanical lift or a ramp capable of assisting passengers in wheelchairs on and off trains operated by Via Rail, a federal crown corporation. “There’s no way someone in a motorized wheelchair can get on the train. There’s no way,” said Yvonne Nielsen, a member of the Greater Terrace Seniors’ Advisory Committee. The closest mechanical lifts to Terrace are in Prince Rupert or in Prince George, often the final destination of the passenger, she said. And as the population gets older, more people with mobility issues are going to want to ride the train, she said. In B.C. almost five per cent of adults over 65 use a wheelchair, according to a 2011 UBC study. “Via’s supposed to make their trains accessible,” said Nielsen. “This has been going on for years and years.” The city has so far been unsuccessful in urging Via Rail to improve wheelchair access at the station here, which is part of the city-owned George Little House retail and office facility. “Despite attempts to work with Via Rail regarding the issue of wheelchair lifts at passenger train stations, and in particular at the Via Rail station here in Terrace, there has been no resolution,” said a letter, signed by mayor Dave Pernarowski, sent to the federal Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA).

Pipeline panned
STAFF PHOTO
â– Dotted line GERALD WESLEY, the chief treaty negotiator for the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas First Nations, holds two pens, one for each draft treaty agreement in principle signed off by the two First Nations in a Sept. 10 ceremony held at Northwest Community College.
AFTER MUCH discussion, the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine board voted to oppose the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline at its Sept. 14 meeting. The motion to oppose was brought forward by Telegraph Creek director David Brocklebank at the August meeting and was tabled to allow the other directors time to consult with their constituents. Voting in favour of the motion were Brocklebank, Dease Lake alternate director Joey Waite, Terrace municipal directors Dave Pernarowski and Bruce Bidgood, Nass director (and regional district chair) Harry Nyce, Hazelton mayor Alice Maitland, Kispiox/Kitwanga director Linda Pierre and Diana Penner (who was sitting in for absent regular director Doug McLeod) for the area around Terrace. Voting against the motion were Thornhill director Ted Ramsey, Kitimat municipal director Corinne Scott, New Hazelton mayor Gail Lowry and Stewart municipal director Billie Ann Belcher. During the discussion, Scott said she would vote against the motion because a federal project panel review would look at everything presented to it and supporting the panel was absolutely necessary. “Voting against it is to oppose the political process and I feel strongly we have to allow the [Joint Review Panel] to complete its findings,� she said. Bidgood said the review was supposed to be independent and not political and that he had been greatly influenced by the prime minister and federal finance minister supporting the project. “What attracted me to northern B.C. was its beauty,� he said. “If there was an environmental [disaster], I would have a hard time looking at the next generation and saying I didn’t do anything to oppose it.� Ted Ramsey agreed with Scott, saying his constituents wanted him to remain neutral. Brocklebank said he had yet to talk to anyone who supported the pipeline project.

Mind the gap Riding the rails isn’t what it used to be By Les Watmough
T
he railroads have been the thread that holds Canada together, but the industry has changed totally from when I was a boy. Then there were steam engines, puffing the white clouds on the cold winter days. Then there were railroad workers, gandy dancers, in the stations 14 miles apart. Then there were station houses – every one with pot bellied stoves to warm up on a winter day. In those station houses, there were a lot of things to do. You could buy train tickets to anywhere in Canada. You could ask the station master when the next train was coming, was it on time, or was it yesterday’s train. The master was there to help you in any time of distress. There were freight trains, passenger trains, and short trains called way freights that carried mail, passengers and freight. They were the trains that brought life to all small isolated communities like Terrace. The train crews were a helpful lot, engineer, fireman, conductor and brakey (brake man), one or two. They were always on hand to give good service to any passenger. The Canadian National Railroad (CNR), was the northern connector, serving most of northern Canada, including Terrace. How things have changed. CNR is now owned by someone, few people know who that is. The old steamers have gone, and the whistles with them, replaced by diesel units and electric noisemakers (not whistles). Trains have gone from short rigs to rigs two miles long, just put in another power unit and couple up another 50 cars. The way freights are gone, trains are miles long and are long haul, with few hauls under 200 miles. Point to point, all the tonnage you can haul. Money, money, money. Crews are small, one engineer and a “conductor.” No caboose. Stations and station houses are gone, or almost gone. Help at a station is gone, or almost gone. Passenger trains no longer have rightof-way, and two-mile long freights make passenger trains wait. A letter from the federal overseers advises of new policy as of July 11 this year. There are few stations with platforms left. Help for

AT THE Via Rail train station in Terrace, a small step is used to help passengers on and off the train. passengers is not available. Help for handicapped is gone. Quote: “The agency recognized that [at] a number of Via (CNR passenger service) stations there are circumstances where the carrier may not be able to accommodate, on its own, a passenger with a wheelchair.” Terrace is in that category. Terrace has the George Little House as a safe refuge from the
In a July 16 response letter to the city, the CTA said it recognizes there were certain circumstances where Via Rail would be unable to accommodate a passenger in a wheelchair at some of the 346 stations that do not have high level platforms or mechanical lifts. Circumstances that may hinder accessibility include station infrastructure, the height of the rail steps, the absence of a platform, limited staff on-board and off, and collective
rain, but a person in a wheelchair cannot get on the train. There is no help. “For training or detraining assistance, it is reasonable to expect that persons using the wheelchair will need to undertake this responsibility” and get someone to help get them on a train. Getting on can be done, but what about getting off in Vanderhoof? The agency and Via letter writ-
agreements that limit the weight an employee can lift. And in places where Via can’t handle wheelchair passengers, it is supposed to arrange, at is own expense, alternate transportation to the nearest station with a lift or to the passenger’s final destination. “This may not be a feasible system-wide solution,” added the CTA, noting the cost and availability of alternate transportation in remote communities.
ers have no idea that Vanderhoof, serving a town of 4,050 and outlying area of 4,000, has no station. Waiting for the train, passengers line up in the snow and the cold and dead goldenrod plants. If the train is late, like yesterday’s train, the coroner is called. So how do passengers from Terrace, assuming they can get on the train, ever get off in Vanderhoof? The letter says to go to Prince
Putting people on a bus isn’t an equitable alternative, said Nielsen. “It defeats the whole purpose,” she said. “You’re missing the whole train trip. The scenery is totally different on the train than it is from the highway.” The city’s seniors’ committee now wants a portable ramp for wheelchair use located at the station here. A ramp is viewed as a cost efficient alternative to a mechanical lift. Another letter has been sent by the
George and find “alternate transportation” to get to the ‘Hoof. The letter says, “at a number of Via Rail stations there are circumstances where the carrier may be unable to accommodate, on its own, a passenger using a wheelchair due to, for example the station infrastructure (none in Terrace), the height of the rail car steps, the absence of a platform (none), the limited number of trained on board and station staff...” The bracketed words are mine. The letter refers to “lift stations” for getting a handicapped passenger on the train. For a person in Terrace, the nearest lift station is in Prince Rupert. So if your destination is Rupert, you take “alternate transportation” to get to Prince Rupert where the lift station will get you on the train. And you wanted to enjoy the train ride to Rupert. To go to Prince George, you will have to go to Prince Rupert, 105 miles west, before you can go to Prince George, 420 miles east. Or, take alternate transportation to get to the lift station in Prince George. And you wanted to ride the rails – sorry. The problems are there, most of them created by the CNR. The problems could be solved. Finally, the agency “accepted that there may be circumstances where Via Rail will ultimately be unable to accommodate a passenger with a disability who uses a wheelchair, where alternative accessible transportation is not available.” I am not sure what that means, but I think it means don’t bring your wheelchair onto our train. That’s the attitude that needs changing. They clearly don’t like to carry passengers or to provide good service to those passengers. Via needs to change its attitude about people with handicaps wanting to use the trains. A simple reconstruction of the station (George Little House was never designed as a station) and the addition of a platform, or perhaps the addition of a lift station. That station would help passengers from Terrace, but still, what about passengers from Hazelton? Les Watmough is a former director for Thornhill on the KitimatStikine regional district board. city to the CTA asking that this idea be considered. The CTA now says it is discussing the idea with Via Rail although the agency does note that installing a ramp would be a voluntary act by Via Rail. If the city is not satisfied with Via’s response, it could file a formal complaint with the CTA. That could result in Via being ordered by the federal agency to take corrective measures.

EDITORIAL
Hard stuff FOR the second time in as many months, provincial jobs minister Pat Bell has promised to have his officials hunker down with ones from Statistics Canada to figure out why, in the face of a seeming economic revival, the northwest jobless rate stubbornly remains in the double digits. It’s a tricky situation. Mr. Bell can’t say he doesn’t trust the numbers. If he did, it would cast doubt on a provincial jobless rate the provincial Liberals say has drastically improved over the last year and is about the only thing the government has going for it leading into the spring 2013 election. If Mr. Bell has to admit the numbers are right, then that pretty much is an admission that a decade-plus of Liberal education plans has failed the northwest. But this should be about people and not political maneuvering. It must be obvious to everyone – including Mr. Bell though he has yet to state it fully – that there is a yawning gap between education levels in the region and the kind of skills needed to participate in the kind of projects underway or about to start. It would be foolish and naive to think every jobless person in the region will or can step into a vacant position immediately. But doesn’t mean someone shouldn’t acknowledge the gap exists and call upon every resource to span that gap as quickly and as humanly possible. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Placemats make life interesting
M
ine has never been a placemat family. Growing up on the farm, our kitchen table was where we ate our meals, washed the dishes in dishpans, did our homework, helped Mom saw up sides of pork, and Mom stacked the wrung out laundry she had scrubbed along with her knuckles on an aluminum washboard in a washtub set on two chairs, in water carried by the pailful from a well in summer, a slough in spring, or snow melted on the cookstove in winter. Our table was topped with linoleum in a bold green checkered pattern glued securely in place, the edges smoothed round so they were comfortable while leaning an arm on them. The linoleum withstood years of nicks from knives, cushioned the clatter of cutlery, and resisted refinement by anything less than a full length tablecloth, slung over it at Christmas. Placemats are to protect the dinner table from water marks, food stains or heat damage. They also serve as decoration. In restaurants they can be used to advertise menu items, specials, and lo-

Such ‘putting on the dog’ we left to our city aunts who had standing weekly invitations for ‘the girls’ to visit for afternoon tea. Outside of books, we didn’t know what a dining table or a dining room was until we visited those aunts in our teenage years.

around the Corelle bowl’s base, and fresh from the microwave the bowl always has enough condensation to provide super suction, the leather often transfers along into the sink. Fortunately, water doesn’t damage the leather but hiding in the sink leaves me placemat-less at the next microwaved meal unless I’ve caught up on dishwashing. Glossy leaflets from fast food restaurants that arrive in every Wednesday’s mail make good substitutes. They cover ample space to protect the tablecloth, and later can be added to the recycling. For dinner plates, tabloid-sized leaflets, almost laminated, arrive in the Western Producer as advertisements from major suppliers of seed, fertilizer, fuels or farm equipment. Their impenetrable surface can be wiped clean with a damp dish cloth and the leaflet reused many times.

I harbour visions of the bowl melting down through to the bare wood of the table like the sofa cushion brought in by a young man with a perfect circle of yellow foam visible where he had set a cup of cocoa fresh from his microwave and melted the fabric to oblivion. I wonder if he heated his cocoa unnecessarily hot. And did he need to use pot holders or retrieve the cup balancing it on two dinner forks like Erma Bombeck taking a pie from her oven?

The Mail Bag Seniors make trax
Dear Sir: The Sept. 5th issue of The Terrace Standard carried Claudette Sandecki’s column “It pays to ask for assistance”. I then read Samantha Garvey’s article “Terrace remains a young person’s centre.” It reminded me that I had promised another senior that I would write something on an issue which affects some seniors in Terrace every winter and winter will soon be with us. Either the last two winters in Terrace have been plagued with an unusual number of icy days or I am just getting older and notice them more. I am more cognizant of the condition of sidewalks and parking lots and a few falls on the ice will do that to you. Many of us wear those cleats on our shoes when icy conditions prevail. They work well on sidewalks and parking lots but unfortunately they are deadly on those hard, smooth tile surfaces in stores. You need them on most parking lots and particularly after a light snowfall which has packed and covered the sand from the days before. But make sure you take them off before you walk into the store. The problem is that none of the retail outlets have a bench just inside the door so you can take them off and put them back on when you leave. Except for the library and the Terrace Medical building and they may have been placed there for other reasons. Two winters ago, I took a very bad fall in one store. I could not sit down and take my yak trax off. Last winter I took them off in my car, walked into a grocery store, made my purchase. On the way out I stopped at the customer service counter and explained to the gentleman how nice it would be if they had a bench just inside so seniors like me could take off their cleats/spikes/yak trax.

Insight lacking

WINTER’S FAST approach means another season of shovelling and of delicate walking over snow and ice.
Dear Sir: I was dismayed by the lack of insight of our politicians regarding David Black’s news release of a possible refinery in the area. I urge you to take a look at Black’s web site Kitimatclean.ca – you will find this is not a half baked idea. You will find that David Black is a civil engineer and a very successful businessman. You will find he and his consultants have some very good reasons why the location of his refinery should be in Kitimat, why it will cost less to build in Kitimat than in Alberta, why refined oil if spilled by a super tanker will evaporate in only a few days and will not have the same devastating destruction as bitumen. They explain how the refinery will generate $22 billion in revenues per year, hundreds of millions in taxes and 3,000 permanent jobs with an annual payroll of $300 million. We are now talking about peak oil, and here we will have a refinery that has a minimum 100-year supply of product. Big Oil tells us that this will not work. They say they are closing refineries and there is no money in refining oil. This could not be further from the truth. You will find that big oil is moving away from small refineries and expanding into larger refineries like the one that is being proposed. Just look at the price of gas. All we need is the threat of a storm in the Gulf of Mexico and they move the price of gas higher. Oil companies are making record profits. I just do not believe that this cannot make money. It seems that Canadians can always find a way to justify why something cannot be done. We have the largest known supply of oil on the planet yet we don’t have the guts to demand that we possess it. It is hard to have any faith in any of our politicians as we have no idea what is happening behind closed doors. If they are going to shove this pipeline down our throat we should get something for it. We cannot allow the precedent to be set by allowing the export of raw bitumen. Charlie Graydon, Terrace, BC
That’s one scary bunch of Americans
I
n a guest speech to the U.S. Congress, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau once commented that living next to the United States was like being “a mouse in bed with an elephant,” not necessarily afraid, but “sensitive to every twitch and grunt.” Given this humorous truism, it’s worth listening to the “twitches and grunts” coming out in the platforms of the two parties vying for control of the American future. The Republicans released their platform recently at their national convention. Just what do they intend? Naturally, platforms are rife with partisan language and puffery, but their messages, though scant on detail, are clear enough. Notably the platform simply does not mention Republicans’ many proposed intrusions into social policy—their nonsensical proclamations about “legitimate” rape, their (mostly male) interference into women’s reproductive rights, and their repeated attempts to repeal Obama’s health care plan. Energy seems the most pressing preoccupation in the United
States. The Republicans devoted more than half of their election platform to energy subjects. Here, various claims stand out. Republicans proclaim themselves as the party of “sustainable jobs and economic growth,” promoters of “traditional conservation” responsible to “future generations.” They encourage a broad energy strategy (referring to both conventional and green energy approaches). Theirs will be a “market-based approach” in which there is “no place…for activist regulators.” To Republicans, “the most powerful environmental policy is liberty.” Although numerous phrases pay lip service to “wise development of resources” and “advanced technologies,” one might note that among Republicans’ largest financial supporters are mining corporations that remove whole mountain tops for coal (leaving grotesquely polluted landscapes resembling the moon), energy companies determined to burn carbon fuels far into the future, and oil firms determined to drill nearly everywhere, including in places that for decades have been
GUEST COMMENT
AL LEHMANN seen as too environmentally sensitive or risk-laden—Federal lands (including parks) and offshore. Because to orthodox Republicans climate change does not exist, they will oppose “any and all cap and trade legislation,” long thought to be one of the most effective possible mechanisms for lowering carbon emissions. Part of their energy strategy includes America’s “neighbors to the North and South,” referring to Mexican and Canadian oil as part
of “our American God-given resources!” Really? Even Stephen Harper, a Romney soul mate if there ever was one, might have something to say about that. The platform’s assertions leave much to the imagination. Supporters might envision hard-hatted, industrious workers and idealistic entrepreneurs happily cooperating, slicing red tape, batting away pesky opponents, and creating a promised land of wealth and opportunity. Opponents imagine more oil spills, a planet continuing to heat (more extreme weather events), and crony capitalists divvying up the remains of America’s wealth among the billionaire class. In one of its few concessions to science, the platform quotes cumulative evidence that the American environment “is getting cleaner and healthier” (a natural result from regulations the Environmental Protection Agency has imposed over the past four decades. What do you know! Although it is not mentioned or credited, regulation works!) However, Republican legislators have repeat-
edly stated their intention to strip both money and regulatory power from the EPA. Anti-pollution regulation is inconvenient to industry. The Republican Party has changed dramatically over the past 20 years, mostly for the worse. Unfortunately, the party seems increasingly dominated by the same type of bandits who plundered the nation under George W. Bush, shoveling tax cuts to the wealthy while promoting militarism abroad and union-busting austerity for the working class at home – a plutocracy run wild. American liberty to Republicans is not freedom from poverty and bankruptcy, from fear, from exploitation, from ignorance; liberty is freedom to drill, to mine, to pollute, to buy, sell and exploit completely unimpeded by social conscience. One wonders what the Democrats might offer, for Republican twitches and grunts are truly frightening. Might the Canadian mouse fear “legitimate rape?” Al Lehmann is a retired teacher living in Terrace, BC

THE ROAD Runners Bike Club Toy Run celebrates its 30th year with its latest run next week but unfortunately it will also be its last. Only four members remain in the club, which has kept the toy run going for the last four or five years. But it’s time to step aside and see if someone else will take over, says toy run coordinator Jim Braid, who has been doing the run for 25 years. “I’m the youngest one at 70,” said Braid. “It’s time to let go and let someone else have a whack at it.” “It’s been quite rewarding to actually be the coordinator for the length of time I’ve been
Two will vie to be Liberal candidate LOCAL PROVINCIAL Liberals will have two choices when they meet Sept. 28 to select a candidate to run in the Skeena riding in next May’s provincial election. Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce manager Carol Fielding and former city councillor Carol Leclerc have had their candidate papers approved by Liberal party officials. Both had to collect 25 signatures, complete an application form of more than 40 pages and withstand close scrutiny by party officials to be considered as candidates. The successful candidate will face current Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin, who was first elected in 2005 and re-elected in 2009. Fielding is best known for being the team leader of the Terrace is Kraft Hockeyville 2009 committee. And she was also chair of the Kermodei Spirit of BC committee, one of many across the province established in the run-up to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Leclerc served as a Terrace city councillor for nine years before deciding not to run again in last November’s municipal elections. She built a reputation on council as a financial watchdog who kept a steady focus on the bottom line.
involved,” he said. Braid has done it all for the last five or six years but over the time he’s been involved he’s done many things. He had taken it over from Paul Monaghan, an ex-RCMP officer, who retired and moved away, said Braid. Before he went, Monaghan gave Braid a big ring binder with all the information needed for the toy run, including what’s been done in past years, and if and when someone else takes over, Braid will pass the binder on. The toy run has grown and grown over the years that he’s been involved, said Braid. “The community gets right behind us for the toy run,” he said. A highlight was the year that about half a dozen children rode with the bikers, said Braid. “Kids that don’t have much of a chance to do things and you put them on the toy run, 10 and 11-year-olds, sitting on

Braid and Martinot were the co-organizers of the toy run that year. the back of a bike in the toy run. You should’ve seen their faces beaming for weeks afterward.” When the Coast Inn of the West shut down its bar, which was the bike club’s toy run destination, it found a new place at the Northern Motor Inn. Owner Gail Munson jumped on that and raised
a lot of money for the R.E.M. Lee Foundation from silent auctions and raffles, said Braid. In 2009, the $13,000 raised bought an I-STAT, which has been used to test babies’ blood in the pediatric unit. The toy run starts in Kitimat at 11:30 a.m., to Mt. Layton Hot Springs

THE AHMADIYYA Muslim community returns to Terrace Sept. 23 for another in a series of interfaith sessions. This one explores how to deal with economic and moral crises existing in the current state of the world. There are five speakers, each representing a faith community. Two are local, Pastor Blake Holenstein, who has been primarily responsible for the youth and young adults ministry at the Terrace Pentecostal Assembly since July 2011. He’ll be representing the Christian faith. The other local person is restauranteur Davinder Singh Sangha, who will be representing the Sikh faith. Three other speakers from elsewhere will represent the Islamic perspective, the aboriginal perspective and the Buddhist perspective. The Muslim speaker is Muhammad Afza Mirza, a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community and who is currently serving as the missionary-in-charge for Mississauga, Ontario. Serving as the moderator for the evening is George Clark. The Sept. 23 session begins with light refreshments at 2:30 p.m. followed by a 3 p.m. start at the aboriginal longhouse meeting hall at Northwest Community College. It lasts until 6:30 p.m. and there is a refreshment break in between. This is the seventh symposium to be sponsored here by the Ahmadiyya Muslim community and is one of many taking place across B.C. this year. Founded in 1890, the Ahmadiyya Muslim community emphasizes the spread of Islam through peaceful means and has headquarters in Great Britain. But the Ahmadiyya community is not well regarded by other Islamic followers and that’s brought on persecution of Ahmadis in several Islamic countries. The Ahmadiyya community travels next to Dease Lake for a session called “Focus on Islam.” That takes place Sept. 24 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Dease Lake Community Centre.

Czech stalemate stymies court THE TRIAL of a man charged with a number of offences stemming from an incident in which two peace officers were injured may never go ahead. No new trial date was set after David Schiffer, a citizen of the Czech Republic, failed to appear in Terrace provincial court Sept. 6. His defence counsel subsequently asked to be removed from the case. Schiffer, 35, was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and care or control of vehicle while impaired after a man driving a white van lost control and smashed into the back of a parked police car near Ferry Island on Dec. 30, 2011. The crash sent the man, highway patrol officer Const. Philip Crack and auxiliary Const. Shelley Ullery to hospital, reported police at that time. Police said right before the crash the van had been clocked on radar travelling more than 120 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. The police car was off the travel portion of Hwy 16 near Ferry Island and officers were monitoring traffic when it was rear-ended, said police. All three people were later released from hospital and both officers
were off work for some time, said police. Schiffer’s lawyer for the planned Sept. 6 trial, Jeffrey Arndt, said Schiffer was in Prague, Czech Republic trying to get his visa renewed
so he could return to Canada. “Once again, I apologize to the court but there’s nothing my client can do under the circumstances,” said Arndt of Schiffer, who had
been working in Terrace at the time of the December 2011 incident. Prosecutor Paul Kirk asked for an unendorsed warrant to be issued for Schiffer so he would have to be brought be-
fore a judge if he were ever detained. An unendorsed warrant means a judge would decide if the person arrested should be released and if so, on what conditions.

College makes pitch for $45 million project N O RT H W E S T C O M M U N I T Y College needs to spend $45 million on a new structure to better house its technology and trades programs, its president told city council Sept. 13. Denise Henning said the money would provide 120,000 square feet of space containing up to date equipment to produce the kind of graduates needed by industries who are about to set up shop in the region. “There’s just more and more demand for post secondary education,” said Henning of changing workforce requirements. Projections calling for 5,500 workers being needed in the region within a few years require the college to be at the front of technology and trades training in the region, she said. Henning asked for the city’s help in lobbying the provincial government to come up
with needed capital financing. But she also told council, in response to questions, that approaches are being made to have companies chip in. Henning noted that the main trades building is not only old, some of its equipment dates back to her birth year of 1958. “We need to be thinking of 2020 and 2030,” she said. As it is, the existing trades building needs $6 million just to address health and other issues, Henning continued. “We have more women in trades, young mothers and single mothers and we have two toilets for women,” said Henning of facilities in the building. “I would be remiss as the president of Northwest Community College not to go for an ideal situation,” she said . Councillor Brian Downie asked Henning
if the former Skeena Cellulose sawmill site, some of which is owned by the city and some of which is owned by a private party, might fit into the college’s plans. Henning said that would require a lot more involvement with the provincial government. While the sum of $45 million sounds like a big number, Henning and Dave O’Leary, a college official who was also at the meeting, said similar amounts are being spent at other community colleges. “We want the same that southern students have every day and we’re not apologizing for it,” Henning told city council. Mayor Dave Pernarowski said council would carry the college’s message forward. “It’s not something that would be nice to have, but it’s really something we must have,” he said. Speaking afterward,
Henning said it was too early to say if the current trades building, provided a renovation makes sense, would fit into plans for a modern trades training footprint. “We have no [building] plans [right now]. This is a concept and we’re going forward on a critical need,” she said. The college has been the beneficiary of construction elsewhere – a Prince Rupert campus built at a cost of $12 million was opened in 2005 and a $16.7 million campus just opened in Smithers.

The Northern Gateway Project is generating healthy debate. British Columbians are asking many important questions like, is this pipeline worth it for BC and its northern communities? The benefits that the Northern Gateway Project will bring to British Columbia are significant. It will create jobs, generate new tax revenue for BC, and strengthen the province’s economy.
New jobs will be created... Many people will be employed to build this project. Here in BC, over 3,000 high-paying construction jobs will be created during the building phase. And over 500 new long-term jobs will open up when it’s completed–jobs to monitor and maintain the pipeline, jobs at the Kitimat Marine Terminal, and indirect jobs in areas such as food and hospitality, accommodations, and transportation. And all right here in BC.
Over $800 million will be spent on local goods and services... During construction, hundreds of millions will be spent in Northern BC on equipment rentals, worker accommodations, trucking and fuel, just to name a few. Businesses will grow and new jobs will bring a steady source of family income, as well as opportunities for young people right out of school. All of this will have a positive impact on local businesses and community stability.
Local communities will have a brighter future... On top of new jobs being created, the project will generate $40 million per year in new tax revenue for BC–that’s $1.2 billion over a period of 30 years. This will make a difference to local communities who can use it to build facilities and strengthen public services.
Enbridge will also provide an additional $100 million to support communities near the pipeline in BC and Alberta. We are also committed to partnerships with Aboriginal communities–funding will be provided for community investment, scholarships and education programs, and Aboriginal business opportunities will be created.
People will learn specialized work skills... Individuals from towns near the pipeline will be given the opportunity to learn the skills needed to work in the energy industry. Enbridge has created the Gateway Education and Training Fund, a $1.5 million commitment that will support training initiatives that focus on pipeline construction skills. The knowledge and experience acquired during the construction phase will serve them well as the demand for skilled workers in the energy sector here in British Columbia, Canada and around the world continues to increase.
New global markets will open opportunities for new growth... As it stands, Canada relies on just one customer for its oil exports. The Northern Gateway Project will provide access to the growing economies and the huge markets of the Pacific Rim eager for our energy, which will increase Canada’s Gross Domestic Product by at least $270 billion over 30 years. So not only will the residents of British Columbia see an increase in tax revenue, employment and long-term job opportunities, they will see the economy strengthened in both their province and country as a new gateway to more trade partners opens up.
The project will bring significant economic benefits to BC. Discover more and join the conversation at benefits.northerngateway.ca.

Fall fair gets a blue ribbon THE REVITALIZED Skeena Valley Fall Fair went off without a hitch to the delight of organizers. And the weather didn’t dampen visitors’ spirits either; more than 100 people showed up despite the pouring rain Sept. 9, the second day of the fair, says fair committee member Jennifer Lewis. “Super fantastic, super just super,” said Lewis, adding the two days were “unbelievably attended.” There’s no final word on the number of people who attended as the gate keepers had to abandon counting on Sept. 8, the first day, and just let people in because there was so many people coming through, she said. “There was so many that they were parked all the way down to the Chevron [gas station] on both sides of the road. It was insane how many people were there,” said Lewis, adding that was “beyond our wildest expectations. The beekeeping
demonstrations saw a crowd four people deep watching and listening to a talk about honey, said Lewis. Beekeeper Rudi Peters said he registered 20 people who want the provincial government to hold a beekeeping course here, she said. The dates were perfect according to feedback. People were happy the dates were changed from the September long weekend to the weekend afterward, said Lewis. Free pancake breakfasts both days drew people out early. The first day, 400 breakfasts were serviced in two hours. People were still being served until 11:20 when the food ran out, Lewis added. “For us that was great,” she said. Organizers are inviting the public and vendors to provide comments via email about how things went. “The people with their feet on the ground, those are the ones that

Serving up Portuguese baked goods and much more for close to 30 years By Chantal Meijer ALCINA LIMA’S customers can’t get enough of her homebaked Portuguese sweet bread and other baked goodies, a fact evident from the queue that regularly forms at her stand. And the ever-cheery, goodnatured vendor appreciates her customers as much as they appreciate her. “I love to come and bring things from my garden and my home,” says Alcina. Besides her baking – Portuguese sweet bread, donuts and cookies – Alcina also sells perennial house plants; cut flowers; fruit such as plums, apples, raspberries; plus a few vegetables. But perhaps more than anything, it’s the homemade Portuguese bread and goodies that keep market attendees lining up. “A lady just told me that my
sweet bread tastes sooo good – the best she’s ever tasted!” says Alcina, who, with characteristic modesty, hesitates at mentioning the praise. “Everybody who buys my stuff keeps coming back,” she chuckles. Alcina’s fresh-baked bread and cookies get their start on Thursdays, when she prepares her dough. On Friday, she fires up the oven for the actual baking. “The customers have always been really nice,” Alcina is quick to point out. “They keep me coming back and enjoying life.” “People even say thank-you for keeping the prices reasonable,” she adds. And while Alcina strives to keep her prices reasonable, she also remembers her early years at the market when the most she ever brought home was $20. Alcina has been selling at the
Terrace farmers market since it first opened in the early 1980s. She credits her three grown children for bringing her to the market these past many years. “They know I love to come,” she says, “so they always take turns giving me a ride.” She is also grateful to her husband Manuel for tending to the garden, which produces the cut flowers and vegetables. For the past year or so, Alcina has been joined at her table by her friend, Maria Raposo, who also sells similar goods. Together they greet market attendees, their kindly salt-ofthe-earth natures blending harmoniously with their Portuguese sweet bread. 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 the downtown, adjacent to the George Little Park.

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Darlene (Bjornson) Blower. She has touched and enriched our lives as a friend and coworker, as a wife and mother, as a sister and grandmother. Darlene was an avid Blue Jays fan and was lucky enough to see them live at the opening of the 2006 season. She enjoyed working on the farm, gardening and baking.

Darlene was pre-deceased by her loving husband Thomas Joseph Howard Blower (1925-1982), son Wayne Darwin (1951-1985), her parents Bjorn Larus Bjornson and Georgina Lucile Johnston and her brothers Lovell and her twin Darwin. Darlene is survived by her sons Tom (aka Allan) and David; her daughters Mary-Anne (Michael), Debbie (Douglas), Marilyn (Peter) and daughter-in-law Elisha (Wayne).

Skaters are back on ice By ANNA KILLEN WHEN I first arrive at the rink, about a dozen star level one figure skaters between the ages of 7 and 9 are just finishing up the half an hour of testing practice they go through every session. This is their least favourite part of the evening, said publicity chair Elaine Sanchez, and proving her point, a young skater slowly skates up to the boards and asks how many minutes are left. The testing portion, where the skaters practise set moves to old-time music is necessary so the skaters will be prepared for the test days that happen around the province that, if they pass, will allow them to move up a level in the program. One of the club’s coaches, Rayven Algor, also in attendance at this session, is contemplating going for the final diamond level this year. It’s the beginning of the skating season, so the Terrace Skating Club is gearing up for what it’s saying will be a great year with a couple of new offerings for members of the club. Off-ice training for the figure skaters is something new
this year. “It’s crucial,” said Algor. “If you can’t do the spins and moves on land, how can you do them on skates?” This new training will help prepare the skaters for regionals, held in Kitimat this year on Feb. 15-17, as well as a handful of other competitions held around the province. Kitimat is also hosting a development seminar with veteran coach Steve Muff from Kelowna, who gave a popular seminar in Terrace last year. “He’s awesome,” said Algor. The fact that these two events are held in Kitimat is great for the Terrace club, said Sanchez, because it means less travel time. The club won’t be hosting an ice show like the Alice and Wonderland themed show of last year (Terrace holds ice shows every two years), but the Kla-How-Ya held here at the end of January is one of the big competitions in the northwest for the skating club. “We encourage and ask the public to come and cheer on the local girls. The public is welcome to come and watch the events over the weekend,” said Sanchez. “We have raffle baskets, baked goods for sale and other goodies.”

THE MINOR soccer season has wrapped up here in Terrace. In the U-9/10 girls final match pictured here, Thornhill Meat Market, in maroon won 1 - 0 over light blue on Sept. 10. On Sept. 13, the U-14 boys final playoffs match between Terrace Chrysler and Dairy Queen was also played. “The boys played incredibly hard on both sides, with Terrace Chrysler started off early by scoring the first goal in two minutes. By half-time the tables had turned and Dairy Queen was ahead of the game 4 - 3. The game was tied up halfway through the second half, but Dairy Queen proved to be the better team that day with a final score of 7 - 4,” said Erika Nicholson. Stay tuned for more soccer results in an upcoming issue.

Hockey DEFENCEMAN KENNY Nordstrom of Terrace has made the cut and will once again be on the Prince George-based Cariboo Cougars’ roster this 2012/2013 season. The only defensive player to return from last year, Nordstrom is an asset to the team, and will be a huge part of the Cougars’ blueline, says team manager Jeff Sargeant. “He will be a leader for us both on and off the ice, especially for the rest of our defencemen, two of which are 15-year-olds,” he said. “Kenny is a reliable defensive defenceman who is not afraid to play physical, and does jump up into the rush as well to provide support.” THE TERRACE River Kings are back on the ice and ready for an exciting 18-game season culminating with the league championships and Coy Cup in March 2013. Kick off the season with the CIHL Challenge Cup, held in Terrace this year, on Sept. 28 and 29. First game on each day starts at 5 p.m. with the second game on Friday and the championship match at 8 p.m. The River Kings are also hosting a fundraiser dance at the Sportsplex banquet room on Oct. 13. Watch the team website, www.terraceriverkings.net for updates and ticket seller locations.

ona and I took the path leading from our back yard that, at this time of year, winds through a field of Bracken ferns taller than I before starting up the mountain side from the trail head at the end of Morris Ave. There used to be a stand of lodge pole pine overlooking the spot but, like all but a few of this province’s lodge poles, it became infested with the pine beetle about five years ago and was felled by a faller on contract to the city. On the day those trees were dropped, I was working in my backyard. Fearing vandals, I rushed toward the sound of the saw until I was halted by signs warning of danger. The faller wasn’t far away. I waved, whereupon he turned off his saw and removed his ear protectors. Beetle kill, he said. Removing those trees won’t halt it, I suggested. No, he conceded, but it might prevent a fire ... and it’s a job. I conceded both of those points and returned to my lawn. Now stumps are all that remain of the infected pines, but removing them exposed part of the mountain side, just as a small fire would have, and the disappearance of all that shade has filled the wound with fireweed, small flowers, grasses, and berry bushes. Most of the fruit on those plants are blue, and long gone, but the two bear-

RIO TINTO Alcan, pictured here, won the Guts and Glory 1,000m race at the 2012 Lakelse Dragon Boat Society Regatta held Saturday Sept. 8 at Furlong Bay.
Regatta race at the lake IT WAS a beautiful day at Furlong Bay for the 7th annual Lakelse Dragon Boat Society regatta on Sept. 8. Twelve dragon boat teams participated in the day-long event which also featured a barbecue, awards ceremony and prize draw to finish the day. “The regatta was great,” said coordina-

After talking with them for a while, I learn that the trail up Steinhoe Ridge is only half complete, and that the plan is to build it over the mountain it presently climbs and extend it into the Kalum Valley via the Deep Creek drainage. This is exciting news for hikers and bikers. When complete, the trail will be a real asset for the entire region in much the same way the Millennium Trail has. As a species, we have spent most of our history in the wilderness. Our wiring makes us feel less than whole unless we spend some time in it, which, in part explains the huge magnetism places like the Rockies have for tourists. The Terrace Mountain trail system gets kids out from behind their electronic toys and onto bikes and into the woods. The growing number of hikers mustering in front of my house every day of the week in spring, summer, and fall, proves the trails are having the same effect on adults. The trials help to combat Nature Deficit Disorder. Kudos to the builders, the bike clubs, individual donors, and the governmental bodies that are making it happen– it’s not cheap. I will be looking for a way to support those doing it. We all should.
