Ski money wanted CITY COUNCIL is being asked to contribute close to $23,000 in cash and in kind to the co-op which runs Shames Mountain. The request works out to a $15,000 grant for My Mountain Co-op and free rent for 2013 valued at $6,500 for the office space now occupied by the co-op in the city-owned Kwinitsa Station House and a tax exemption valued at $1,200 for the office space. All together, if granted, the requests would essentially match what the city provided the co-op last year in the form of cash and office space. But whether or not city council will decide on the coop’s requests without first having a look at its books isn’t yet known. At a September meeting with directors of the co-op, councillor Bruce Bidgood noted that the city had laid down one condition for future financial support of the co-op. “What we agreed was on a year to year basis with an examination of the financial [statements],” he said of decisions for financial support. City council discussed the tax exemption request made by the co-op earlier this week and will be making a decision on the free rent and grant requests next month as it begins deliberations on its 2013 budget. It isn’t yet know if council will see financial statements before co-op members have a chance to at its annual general meeting which now is tentatively scheduled for late November. My Mountain Co-op’s director responsible for finance, Curtis Billey, said a decision to release financial information before the annual general meeting hasn’t been made. “I’m not sure yet,” said Billey about whether or not the city will have access to information prior to when the coop’s members do at its annual general meeting. The co-op is also awaiting final approval by the KitimatStikine regional district for a tax exemption for the Shames Mountain property. It’s worth close to $4,000. To date, the total financial support the co-op has received from the regional district includes a $100,000 grant and about $8,000 in tax exemption. From the city, the co-op has received $30,000 in grants to date and $15,400 in free rent and tax exemption. And as part of its purchase agreement with the Shames Mountain Ski Corp., the co-op is waiting on the reduction or cancellation of two outstanding debts owed to the province of British Columbia. Combined, the debts amount to more than $600,000 owed to the province. The majority, more than $420,000, is owed by the Shames Mountain Ski Corp. for the repayment of a tourism development loan. The rest is an amount owed for lease fees and has been assumed by the co-op. Some kind of resolution to both outstanding debts is inked into the purchase agreement contract for the ski facility. “Our government continues to explore options around debt forgiveness in order to facilitate the smooth transfer of this community ski hill to a new owner,” said a statement issued by the province.

Police seize drugs, guns A LOCAL man facing 11 drugs and firearms charges finds out if he can get out on bail this Friday. David Harry Edwardsen of Thornhill was one of five people arrested Sept. 19 following a 14-month long investigation into what RCMP are calling a Terrace-area organized crime ring. The charges against Edwardsen include four counts of trafficking, two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, one charge of production of a controlled substance, and four firearms charges. Edwardsen made a brief court appearance Sept. 20. The remaining four people have since been released. On Sept. 19, police executed five

search warrants on five properties in Terrace and area – Edwardsen’s residence at 604 Old Lakelse Lake Road, which is almost across from the Lakelse Pentecostal Camp, two other residences on that same road, one residence on King Ave. in Thornhill and a residence on Bohler Rd. Emergency Response Team officers, similar to a SWAT team, were among the officers sent to the Old Lakelse Lake Road address because of concern about weapons, said Terrace RCMP Inspector Dana Hart. Police say they seized 110 long guns, including rifles and shotguns, and several handguns from two of the locations they searched.

“Many...were loaded and readily accessible to the occupants,” said Hart. The drugs seized included more than 500 marijuana plants from three different grow-ops; 1.5 kg of cocaine; 24 tablets of ecstasy; 17 grams of hashish, 32 grams of magic mushrooms and also prescription drugs, reported police. “Additional charges are expected to be laid in the near future against further members of the criminal group,” said Hart. Several RCMP units took part in the investigation, led by the federal RCMP Drug Enforcement Branch.

Spur nears completion THE construction of a rail spur that will be used to transport rock from a quarry owned by the Kitsumkalum First Nation to CN Railâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main line is near completion. Within a weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time, a bridge is scheduled to be lifted by crane and placed over a creek that runs behind Kitsumkalumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration building. It will enable the track to cross over the creek, providing access to the quarry. The economic development arm of the Kitsumkalum has CN as its main customer so far. The CN contract itself is anticipated to bring in roughly $900,000 in gross revenues yearly for Kitsumkalum, said Terry Bennett, an economic development officer with the Kitsumkalum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is over a 20-year contract,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding Kitsumkalum paid $1.5 million for the 3 kilometre rail spurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction, including work needed for the spur line to branch off CNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main line by

FALL CLEAN-UP WEEK October 15 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 19, 2012 LAUREN BENN PHOTO

CONSTRUCTION OF a rail spur which crosses Hwy16 and leads to the Kitsumkalum rock quarry is well underway. Above is a resurfacing machine from Pacific Northern Rail Contractors Corp. based in Abbotsford. It uses a system of lasers to level and align the track. The machine raises the rails and ensures the rock surface beneath is level. A second machine follows the track behind it to grade the rock and clean the track. crossing Hwy16. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed a spur that would hold 60 cars,â&#x20AC;? said Bennett of the work involved. A single rail will cross Hwy16 near the main entrance to the Kitsumkalum village, splitting into two spurs closer to the quarry which is a few kilometres north. One of those

segments will have the capacity to hold 32 cars and the other 28. Construction began in May, making the first few kilometres of the West Kalum Road leading off of Hwy16 toward the quarry a busy place. CN plans to use the quarry rock when replacing or adding rail

beds. The quarry will also produce various sizes of aggregate and gravel for other customers as well, Bennett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kitsumkalum has purchased an interest in Terrace Redi-Mix Ltd.,â&#x20AC;? said Bennett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we got the rock quarry contracts going we thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get involved in ce-

ment products.â&#x20AC;? Finer materials from the quarry can also be used in making concrete. Most of the material for local concrete now comes from a sand and gravel pit near Deep Creek and Kitsumkalum also has an interest in that operation, said Bennett.

Extra refuse is collected from City customers, without charge, during clean-up week. Please have the extra waste material in plastic bags or cartons to assist in the pickup, and set it out on your regular refuse collection day (but it may not get picked up until later in the week). This service does NOT include tires, propane tanks, or items normally charged for at the Terrace LandďŹ ll (such as commercial waste, car bodies, stumps, and major appliances), nor any items accepted at EPR Drop-Off locations (such as electronics, batteries, paint, pesticides, and ďŹ&#x201A;ammable liquids).

THIS OLD Lakelse Lake Road home was one of five searched by a number of RCMP officers.

Drugs found in a vehicle POLICE in Terrace are forwarding information they hope will lead to drug trafficking charges being laid against two people. They say narcotics were seized after a vehicle was stopped for speeding Sept. 22. A 20-year-old woman and a 22-year-old man were in the car.

This was the third drug seizure made over the weekend of Sept. 22-23, said police. They said they found a substance they believed to be cocaine packaged â&#x20AC;&#x153;in a manner consistent with trafficking.â&#x20AC;? Constable James Lauriault, a member of the local detachmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Don’t miss out Terrace needs to get into the LNG game and quickly by Anna Killen

he City of Terrace and local businesses need to start making plans now to capitalize on the emerging liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry in the region, a former Liberal cabinet minister and now consultant says. Roger Harris brought the message to Terrace’s city council armed with a list of LNG projects representing expenditures of more than $10 billion. The list includes everything from the smallest, the BC LNG project at an estimated $400 million to $600 million in spending, to Shell’s larger Canada LNG project worth an estimated $12 billion. “It’s a big, big number,” said Harris of what he says would be the largest investment in one industrial sector B.C. has ever seen. “And all of them have a very good chance of going past the drawing board.” The large number of potential LNG projects grouped in the Kitimat-Terrace-Prince Rupert area means the

CONTRIBUTED ILLUSTRATION

ARTIST’S CONCEPTION of Kitimat LNG plant which would be constructed at Bish Cove. northwest has the opportunity to become the second largest cluster of LNG export facilities in the world and a worldleading export hub. The area would be

second only to Qatar, currently the top exporter of LNG with approximately 25 per cent of the market. It’s this clustering effect combined with a

close proximity to Asian markets that has the potential to set B.C. apart and fuel the industry’s growth, Harris said. “Canada’s dominance in the industry

Line to run north of here THE POSSIBILITY of more liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants in the region could now mean at least one pipeline running north of Terrace toward the coast. The pipeline would be built by Spectra Energy in partnership with the BG Group, one of the world’s dominant gas shippers, and transport gas from the huge deposits in northeastern B.C. Running from northeastern B.C., the pipeline would travel approximately 850 kilometres to property the BG Group has optioned on Ridley Island near Prince Rupert from the Prince Rupert Port Corporation. An exact route from a storage facility north of what’s called Station 2, a major gas transport hub located southwest of Fort St. John, and then from Station 2 to the coast and then to the planned LNG terminal has yet to be set. But Spectra vice president Gary Weilinger did say Nisga’a territory and the Nass Valley area are on the potential route list as the line gets closer to the coast. “If you had to pick a point from where it might emerge [from the northeast], that would be Cranberry Junction,” he said. “It could be north of the Nass or south of the Nass. There’s a lot of work that has to be done yet.” That work involves not only needed environmental assessments but geo-technical work to determine engineering standards according to terrain encountered. Weilinger said the 48-inch diameter pipeline will run underground unless soil conditions along portions of the route dictate otherwise.

“We’ll be doing more fieldwork this year, building helicopter pads where needed,” he said. “Pipelines tend to follow existing disturbed areas where there are existing forestry roads, for example, or rail lines.” “We do so because we need access to get equipment and material in and out of there.” Weilinger said route selection also depends on what local residents can contribute. “Our approach is to really understand local knowledge,” said Weilinger. Spectra and BG concentrated on Prince Rupert as a location for an LNG plant and the area north of here as a pipeline route because there are not a lot of other companies interested in the same area. “For property and for pipelines, it’s getting pretty congested down there,” said Weilinger of Kitimat being the preferred location for two pipelines already and three LNG plants. But Spectra could have company to the north of Terrace depending upon work being done by Petronas, another LNG giant owned by the Malaysian government. It bought Progress Energy, a Canadian gas company that operates in northeastern B.C., in the summer and announced at the same time it was conducting a feasibility study on a property on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert. Progress official Greg Kist said confidentiality agreements with pipeline builders prevented him from providing route information for now. “We are evaluating the proposals on their technical and commercial merits and once a decision has been made, we can discuss our plans more broadly,” he said.

could last for decades,” Harris said. Right now, the US is the largest importer of Canadian LNG – but that’s set to change, warned Harris, as the

US is in the beginning stages of setting up its own LNG export facilities. If this happens, the US would become an exporter rather than an

importer of the product, which is odourless, colourless, non-toxic and non-corrosive, and B.C. would lose its biggest market. B.C. needs to start locking down foreign markets like Japan in order to remain competitive, Harris said. And that’s one reason Harris is urging city council to prepare a plan on how to capitalize on the LNG economy. Plants need to be up and running by 2022, said Harris, meaning permits will need to be approved by 2015. The environmental assessment process alone takes two years – not an unreasonable amount of time to make sure it is done right, said Harris. Harris Palmer, which is Harris’s consulting company, and the Terrace Economic Development Authority, have identified local businesses they say will gain from LNG projects if they are prepared. “There are businesses here in town that aren’t aware of the opportunity that’s about to come,” Harris said.

A who’s who guide HERE’S a quick guide to northwest liquefied natural gas plant and pipeline projects. BC LNG. Also called Douglas Channel LNG, this is the smallest of the ones up for development. The plant, partially owned by the Haisla, would be on a floating platform offshore near Kitimat. It would handle 170-195 million cubic feet of gas a day pumped through the existing Pacific Northern Gas pipeline now owned by AltaGas of Calgary. Est. cost is $400-$600 million. A gas export licence has been granted. Kitimat LNG. Apache, Encana and EOG own the Pacific Trails Pipeline which would feed a plant they would also own with 1 billion cubic feet of gas a day. Estimated total cost is more than $4 billion. A gas export licence has been granted. An official construction announcement was expected to have happened by now. Canada LNG. Shell is a major partner in this project along with three Asian companies. The companies would also be

consumers of the finished product. The pipeline is called Coastal Gas Link and the estimated total cost is more than $12 billion. Also big is the amount of gas involved – anywhere from 1.8 billion to 3.6 billion cubic feet a day. A 25-year export licence has been applied for. Plant would go on the old Methanex site at Kitimat. BG/Spectra Energy. The LNG plant would go on Ridley Island near Prince Rupert, being fed by a pipeline that could deliver up to 4 billion cubic feet of gas a day. A cost estimate is not available and this project is in a feasibility stage expected to last between one and two years. Petronas/Progress Energy. This is another plant that would go near Prince Rupert, on Lelu Island, and it is also the subject of a feasibility study. An accompanying pipeline would deliver between 500 million and 1 billion cubic feet of gas a day. A cost estimate isn’t available. Petronas is owned by the Malaysian government and bought Canadian-owned Progress Energy this summer for $5 billion.

EDITORIAL

Go bigger NORTHWEST Community College president Denise Henning would put it more eloquently but her pitch for $45 million at the college’s Terrace campus for a new trades and technical training facility comes down to five words – go big or go home. So go bigger. Way bigger and call for a brand new college campus in Terrace. The current location on the bench, while a nice setting, is too far out of town making it a classic example of out of sight, out of mind. It’s hard to schedule bus service there at night, making it difficult to reach for those without a vehicle. Much the same goes for students in dorms – recreation, food and other amenities are out of reach for those without transportation. That should be a worry for college officials who need to attract students from around the region. So, where to go? One of the old Skeena Cellulose/Terrace Lumber Company properties on Keith (one portion owned by the city, the other in private hands) could be an ideal conversion to a green-as-you-canget campus and send a strong message about how this city sees itself in the decades ahead. If this region is to be subjected to billions and billions in industrial projects, then a facility dedicated to training local people to take full advantage of the planned development is the least that of the legacies that should come out of this development. Go bigger. Way bigger. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Why? Already I have trouble keeping track of my TV remote. What would my chances be of locating it in time to catch the suppertime news if it were smaller? The launch of the iPhone5 had hordes ordering online while others queued around the block for hours to buy the latest Mac gadget with its many internal updates. And for what? If their old cell phones (if that’s what these are. Heaven help me. I’m no nerd) did the job before, why the scramble for an even tinier version? For anyone with failing eyesight, add-ons can be bought such as keyboard covers with letters four times regular size. What I would like though, is some means to make TV remotes and other easily misplaced items speak up and make their whereabouts known.

Okay, I know the red dot doesn’t do the work of setting off the alarm. The red dot merely assures the librarian the book has been safeguarded, not skipped. The library keeps mum about how the safety system works, and that’s fine with me. With one dot glued to my remote, if I needed to find it I could activate the port and immediately the remote

I wanted to listen, but my old Mac crossed its arms and muttered, “No more YouTube sound. Movements, okay, but in silence.” Computer specialists warned me after the first diagonal line showed up that one day my desktop could go black and that would be it. In readiness, I stockpiled a new computer. Last week, waiting for the elevator in the medical building, I heard a fellow say his computer had gone black that morning, and he was scrambling to replace it. After Martin’s announcement, I unpacked this new computer to find both the mouse and keyboard are remotes, have no plug-in connection to the computer. Two more pieces I might lose track of. That’s not the worst of it. This keyboard has letters and symbols the size of the font used to hide a list of disastrous circumstances your flight insurance policy won’t cover.

My dream of a way to find lost items took on a new urgency the day I unboxed a new computer, bought to replace my six-year-old model that first began to show signs of ailing two years ago. At that time the first diagonal line showed up on the desktop running from top to bottom. I was alarmed, but unwilling to make a move to replace the computer. As the months advanced, so did the lines. Today there are seven lines, in rainbow colours. My old model became stubborn as a toddler, choosing what it would or wouldn’t do. First it began adjusting the size of mail screens, as if on a whim, from five inches wide to sprawling across the entire desktop. Next it refused to show news videos; it was too old to install updated Flash Player, meaning I couldn’t watch TV shows either. Last week it tantalized me with newspaper headlines only, no

The Mail Bag Voting passion missing Dear Sir: There was an old Wayne & Shuster bit where the Senators were debating across the floor of the August Upper House: “The Members opposite are ignorant and apathetic!” A joy-filled reply from the other side: “We don’t know and we don’t care!? Cue the band, start the dance.” You can Google Wayne & Shuster if I’ve lost you already. What interests me is that ignorance and apathy used to be considered a bad thing in matters of public policy. No more. Now, it is what our government wants from us. Wise up everyone. They want us out of the game. Proof: The federal government is in the middle of free trade negotiations with both the European Union and

the Pacific Rim (read: China. Did you know about these negotiations? You may well have not, because the government is not saying anything about it. Harper isn’t talking; he doesn’t even want you to know it’s happening. There will be no public discussion about what is being negotiated because Harper thinks it is none of your business. We will get the details of the deal after it has been inked. We will find out what we have given up this time only after it’s gone. What Stephen Harper really wants is a nation of ignorant and apathetic voters. That will suit him nicely. He will be able to announce a free trade deal with China and half the country will

sively about the healthy democracy in Canada. They bemoaned relative lack of engagement of Americans in their own democracy. The Canadians really showed them how it should be done; highly

impassioned engaged debate, finally resulting in a seventy six per cent voter turnout on election day. That was a good example of what democracy was intended to be.

Dear Sir: In a recent column printed in The Terrace Standard, regarding steelhead salmon abundance, Rob Brown, your writer, makes a very personal attack against Mike Langegger of Kitimat. The reason for this seems to be a simple case of some people not wanting to share their toys. One must remember, steelhead are not a plaything to be hoarded and kept away from those anglers who might want to eat any abundant species of salmon. The argument that there are never quite enough steelhead to harvest is a dangerous one to promote. If there are truly not enough, then perhaps the directed wounding of them (catch and release) for pleasure and profit should end. According to some authorities between three and seven per cent of all steelhead caught and released later die due to various reasons, even under the most careful handling situations. I commend Mike Langegger for promoting the thought that steelhead salmon should be shared amongst all users of the fishery resource. They should be managed as a renewable source of protein, not just toys for a select few. Steelhead are, after all, a fish. Keep up the good work, Mike, and don’t let the personal attacks through you off of a common-sense and traditional value. You are supported by many. Igor Steciw, Smithers, BC

Seniors are valued members of our society

oo often, seniors are seen as some sort of burden. In fact, they are raising grandchildren, volunteering and contributing in a wide variety of ways. We don’t begrudge other sectors of society - like young parents - support; we shouldn’t deny seniors basic community supports, or see them as a health care “issue.” Seniors aren’t problems to be managed, and aging is not an illness. But too often we talk about older British Columbians that way, in terms both inaccurate and demeaning. There are certainly challenges in growing older. But nothing happens at 65 that suddenly makes someone less of a person. Seniors contribute a great deal. Like everyone else, they work, volunteer, support family members, nurture friendships, pursue hobbies and interests, and participate in community life. In B.C., more than 10,000 children are being raised by their

grandparents with not a lot of support — a great challenge and contribution. Yes, many British Columbians require society’s support as they age. But so do people of all ages – families needing day care, university students needing bursaries, commuters needing good roads and everyone needing health care. Yet, somehow, support for seniors tends to be viewed as a special burden. Admittedly, demographics create some challenges. In 2001, there were 135,000 British Columbians over 80. By 2011, there were 197,000, a 46 per cent increase in 10 years. Similar increases lie ahead; by 2036, one in four of us will be over 65. While we talk about supporting people as they age, we aren’t delivering. The B.C. Ombudsperson reported last year that the number of publicly subsidized residential care beds increased by 3.4 per cent between 2002 and 2010.

GUEST COMMENT

DAVID HAY Meanwhile, the population over 80 — the main client base — increased by 34 per cent. (Home support services also failed to keep up with the growth in the over-80 population.) Those of us in the community social services sector know it is a mistake to think seniors’ needs revolve around health care, as if aging is an illness.

Families do great work helping their elders. But not everyone has family members nearby, and often, professional skills are required. That’s when the agencies that employ thousands of expert, dedicated people in the community social services sector take over. They support seniors in their homes. They help with shopping and meals. They provide physiotherapy, and counselling on everything from medications and health to emotional issues. Our work produces pragmatic benefits. For example, while it costs $72,000 a year to provide residential care (shared between seniors and government), a few hours a week of home support can help people stay independent at a fraction of that expense. Community support is the best way to reduce demands on the health care system. But really, this is about doing what’s right. Seniors should be supported in their desire to live

full, rich lives, and contribute. Our commitment also has to extend to the professional, dedicated people who provide the support. The number of seniors has been increasing, but government support has not kept up. Frontline workers have been increasingly stressed and stretched, and seniors have suffered from reduced care. It’s good that we recognize our elders through National Seniors Day, Oct. 1. But seniors don’t really need a day, or a press release. They need a citizenry and a government that treat them as valued people, not problems. When that happens, every day will be seniors’ day. And we will be a stronger society. David Hay is the Executive Director of the Federation of Community Social Services of BC. He is writing on behalf of the Roundtable of Provincial Social Services, an umbrella group of private and non-profit agencies and other stakeholders.

Very dodgy From Page A7 opinion poll Voter passion suppressed Dear Sir: I’m also addressing this to the person who called me Tuesday, Sept. 15 and who did not identify themselves beyond “conducting a survey on the refinery proposal.” I apologize for my abrupt response. I did not know which polling firm you were representing because you did not state such, and in fact when you inquired why I would not want to participate, I said that without knowing anything about who was calling I would never, under any circumstances reveal any personal information. To you who called me, I am sorry. Not for my response but for the tight-fisted owner/employer you work for who commissioned the non editorial staff to make cold calls to people around British Columbia. As I read my local on-line paper this afternoon about a poll conducted on behalf of Mr. Black’s oil refinery proposal for Kitimat, I realized then that I was talking with an employee rather than a professional pollster. It must be very difficult to work in the media for multi millionaire who keeps even impartial polling in-house and

still expects the public to view such action with legitimacy. I hope you get overtime! With best wishes, and hoping that your boss may consider using an outside recognized polling firm in the future, I remain, Maureen Atkinson, Terrace, BC

Voters were then interested in the stakes and informed itself of the issues and made the most of their opportunity to express their wishes. The reason The Washington Post was so dismayed by this was that American governments, being a little quicker on the uptake, had long since learned that low voter turnout was far more advantageous to the incumbent than having an engaged population. So the last thing you wanted was for

the population to know what you were doing so they could care about it. After the last federal election, everyone who understood the issue was expressing dismay at the low voter turnout, but it was entirely predictable. And notwithstanding all the government’s stated desire to engage the population, especially young Canadians in politics, they obviously don’t. They’re just BS-ing us. They don’t want us engaged.

They know full well the less engaged we are the more likely they are to get re-elected. If they were serious about re-engaging the population in Canadian public policy, they would keep us apprised of the free trade talks. Canadians would become as excited about that now as we were in 1988. But the government in Ottawa doesn’t want that. We may get in their way. Dave Menzies, Terrace, BC

Regional bodies team up said the memorandum will also help companies and agencies understand how each works. “We have mandates that are convergent and complementary but we don’t want to be confusing,” he added. Both Pietralla and

Brouwer said their agencies have been advocating for more regional cooperation and collaboration in light of the number of industrial projects now underway or about to start. “We decided we needed to show some of

that collaboration that needs to be happening,” said Brouwer. Also expected to sign on soon is the Northwest Science and Innovation Society. “The more we can do this, the better it will be,” Brouwer said.

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

Poll ďŹ nds support for reďŹ nery AN OPINION poll released Sept. 26 shows northern residents support the idea of an oil refinery at Kitimat but not to the extent of British Columbians elsewhere. The poll, commissioned by Kitimat Clean, the company owned by Black Press chairman David Black, indicates refinery support in the north stands at 65 per cent compared to 82 per cent in the Kootenays, 79 per cent in the Cariboo, 68 per cent in the Lower Mainland, 74 per cent in the ThompsonOkanagan and 72 per cent on Vancouver Island. Those percentages are taken from people contacted by telephone from Sept. 10 to Sept. 20 who said they were either in favour of the plan or somewhat supportive of the plan. Black first announced his $13 billion refinery plan in late August and on Sept. 21, applied for an environmental assessment. Enbridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline would provide crude from the Alberta oil sands for the refinery. Black says shipping refined products overseas presents less of an environmental danger than sending the raw product does, a factor he says should reduce opposition to the Northern Gateway plan. The current Enbridge plan is to ship crude to Asian customers from a marine export terminal at Kitimat. Black also says the construction jobs and then employment at the refinery afterward would provide significant economic benefits to the province and country. Job creation and shipping refined rather than raw crude were cited by those who supported the project. The environment stood out among those who opposed the plan. So far, no oil companies or Asian customers have signed up to support the plan. The idea, however, has drawn support from people who equate shipping crude oil overseas with exporting raw logs. Detractors say a refinery is uneconomical and would increase the amount of pollutants being released. Black last week spoke to municipal politicians and others attending the Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver. The poll was conducted by non-editorial Black Press staff. It gathered 1,400 responses from the Cariboo, Kootenay, Northern B.C., Lower Mainland, Thompson-Okanagan and Vancouver Island regions. The margin of error is estimated to be plus or minus 2.62 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Detecting Breast Cancer Earlier Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Canadian women. In this section of the website, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation provides you with information about the earlier detection of breast cancer, to help inform your decision making about breast cancer screening. The aim of earlier detection is to ďŹ nd smaller breast cancers that have not spread to other parts of the body. When breast cancer is detected at an earlier stage, most patients have more treatment options, less invasive forms of treatment and a

better chance of surviving the disease. In this way, earlier detection has helped to improve the length and quality of life of people diagnosed with breast cancer while reducing breast cancer death rates. Screening for breast cancer Breast cancer screening is a test that looks for earlier signs of breast cancer, usually by mammography. The most effective way to detect breast cancer earlier is to offer regular screening to all eligible well women in the population â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before signs or symptoms of the disease are noticed, including tumours that are too small to feel. This

is known as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;population healthâ&#x20AC;? approach because it is offered on a population-wide basis and aims to improve the health of all Canadian women. Since population-based breast cancer screening programs began in Canada in the late 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, they have helped to reduce breast cancer mortality by more than 35 percent. Organized breast cancer screening in Canada Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breast cancer screening programs are organized by the provincial and territorial governments. Referred to as organized breast cancer screening programs,

they are designed to screen the majority of Canadian women (approximately 80 per cent) who are at average risk of developing breast cancer. In some places, screening services are being expanded to better meet the needs of women at higher risk of breast cancer.

Assessing breast cancer risk The risk of developing breast cancer is not the same

for all women. Depending on the degree of personal risk, there are different strategies for breast cancer screening and risk reduction. Assessing your risk is an important starting point in deciding what is right for you. Whether you are at average, high or intermediate risk will help inform your decisions about breast cancer screening and risk reduction practices. Earlier detection saves lives

Advances in breast screening technology and quality standards have contributed to saving womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, increasing breast cancer survival rates, and improving quality of life with less invasive forms of treatment. By helping to reduce death and disability from breast cancer, screening plays an important role in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and well-being.

Locals divided on pot decriminalization LOCALLY ELECTED officials are divided as to whether possessing, distributing, growing and selling marijuana should be decriminalized. The division showed in a resolution passed last week by elected officials from across B.C. at the Union of BC Municipalities convention in Victoria. The organization which represents local governments will now ask the federal government to decriminalize marijuana and explore how it could be regulated and taxed instead. Terrace city councillor James Cordeiro, who voted against the resolution, said police forces already practise decriminalization when it comes to possessing small amounts of marijuana. “We’re not talking about decriminalizing growing 500 plants,” said Cordeiro. “Growing would still be criminal, distributing would still be criminal.” He dismissed arguments that decriminalization would reduce gang violence, saying the vast majority of pot grown in B.C. is smuggled into the United States. Cordeiro added that governments won’t be able to tax marijuana at a high enough rate to generate a substantial amount of revenue, and that “criminal elements will still be able to undercut” pricing. Alcohol bootlegging and cigarette smuggling still happen, he pointed out. “Last, the tax will be funneled into the province’s general revenue account,” said Cordeiro, adding that municipalities have long since petitioned for a cut of liquor tax revenue to deal with the social costs to a municipality resulting from alcohol consumption. “We’ll never see it,” he said about a cut of hypothetical marijuana tax revenues, and liquor sales tax. City councillor Bruce Bidgood, on the other hand, voted in favour of decriminalization. “The legal treatment of people who possess a small amount of marijuana is uncalled for,” he said, adding he thinks government production, distribution and taxation of the substance is another debate entirely. “I believe that the possession of small amounts

of marijuana should be decriminalized.” Bidgood added he is not talking about legalizing the substance, but that as a result of criminalization, there are people who are margin-

alized. “Has it resulted in diminished use? No,” said Bidgood. “Or has it just produced an underground culture making a lot of people feel uncomfortable?”

Councillor Marylin Davies, who attended a seminar on the topic two days before the vote, said she opposed decriminalization. “It is a health issue, not a legal issue,” said

Davies, adding various health concerns were cited at the session. “Many medical studies were cited about the relationship (pot has) to schizophrenia (and the) shrinking capacity of the

brain when use begins at a young age. The price to pay is simply too big,” she said. City councillor Brian Downie also voted against the resolution. “I have the feeling

we need to improve the tools for policing,” he said. “I saw this as complicating the enforcement aspect,” added Downie of the resolution.

Pot divides politicians Mayor Dave Pernarowski said he was opposed to the actual resolution “which in my opinion did not provide enough detail to support. I was also opposed to the concept of decriminalization.” “Decriminalization on its own would not stop grow ops from being set up inour community, it wouldn’t stop drug trafficking, and it wouldn’t stop the violence and other illegal activity that is associated with marijuana,” he said. “I’m disappointed this resolution passed. I also feel this resolution needed an electronic vote since the raised voting cards by the delegates for or against seemed too close to call in my opinion,” the mayor added. Councillor Stacey Tyers said she voted in

favour of decriminalization and should the vote have been to legalize she probably would have as well. “I just don’t think it’s criminal behaviour and I think we spend an awful amount of policing money on minor infractions,” said Tyers. “Law abiding decent citizens have been smoking marijuana for decades.” Thornhill regional district director Ted Ramsey voted in favour even though he’s not a fan of drugs. “I don’t think young kids should get criminal records because they smoke pot or get caught with pot,” he said. “I think it’s the first step down the long road of being realistic about pot and I just think it’s appropriate.” Ramsey doesn’t smoke pot and said he doesn’t necessarily

agree with it as it can start young people on the road to drugs but it shouldn’t have the importance in the criminal system that is attached to it currently. Nass Valley director and regional district chair Harry Nyce wasn’t there for the vote but did say afterward, if he had been, he would’ve voted in favour of decriminalization. Regional district director Doug McLeod, who represents the rural area north of Terrace and south to Lakelse Lake and toward Kitimat was not at the convention. City councillor Lynne Christiansen, who has been ill, was also not at the convention. For the record, here is the decriminalization resolution as prepared by the

GATEWAY perspectives

The Canadian Energy Research Institute is an independent, notfor-proﬁt research establishment, and it recently released a report on the economic impact of exporting our oil/resources to countries in Asia. In pretty clear terms, CERI’s calculations suggest that we will be Canada’s biggest beneﬁciary of the Northern Gateway pipeline through the next 25 years — in key categories such as gross domestic product (GDP) impact, employment impact, employee compensation, and tax revenue generation. According to the report, over the next quarter-century, construction and operation of the Northern Gateway pipeline itself will create an additional $8.9 billion in GDP

CAROL Leclerc defeated Carol Fielding Sept. 28 to claim the BC Liberal nomination for the Skeena riding in next May’s provincial election. Leclerc, who works in human resources at the Coast Mountains School District, defeated Fielding, the executive director of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce, by 60 votes to 33. “This is a team that’s going to have a chance to win this riding. I know I can appeal to people in the middle of the road,” said Leclerc who retired from municipal politics last fall after nine years on city council. She criticized current Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin for being invisible and pledged to work with community members. “I think it’s great. We had two good candidates, both different,” said Fielding after the voting total

was announced. “She had a much better grasp of the campaign... was able to rally the votes, she’s a campaign-ready girl,” added Fielding of Leclerc. Provincial agriculture minister Norm Letnick from Kelowna was the keynote speaker. Approximately 50 people were on hand for speeches, a reception and vote tally release at the Best Western Terrace Inn. Those present included former Skeena Liberal MLA Roger Harris, city councillor Brian Downie, who sits on the executive of the Skeena BC Liberal constituency association, city councillor Bruce Bidgood, who is an NDP supporter but who said he was there to support Leclerc and two former Terrace mayors, Jack Talstra and Dave Maroney. Just under 400 BC Liberals were eligible to vote.

From one British Columbian to another, I feel strongly that you’ve got every right to know. And a recent independent report makes it abundantly clear that Gateway will provide significant economic benefits for our province.

Police identify American as killer in Tears death THE RCMP task force investigating murdered and missing women in B.C. announced a breakthrough in the Highway of Tears case. A DNA match from US citizen Bobby Jack Fowler has been linked to Colleen MacMillen, whose body was found near 100 Mile House in 1974, and RCMP said they were able to state that Fowler is responsible for the murder of MacMillen. Fowler, who died of natural causes in an Oregon prison in 2006, is known to have worked in Prince George in 1974 for a company called Happyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roofing. Based on interviews with people who knew Fowler, RCMP say he was very transient, was known to like picking up female hitchhikers

and has an extensive violent criminal history in a number of states in the US. RCMP also say Fowler held the belief that women who hitchhiked or frequented bars had a desire to be sexually assaulted, with living victims providing â&#x20AC;&#x153;very graphic and explicitâ&#x20AC;? recounts of their interactions with Fowler. Given the timing, RCMP have eliminated Fowler as a suspect in eight of the 18 missing women cases, but say he remains a person of interest in the remaining cases and is strongly suspected in at least two other murders. While RCMP have made a time line for the past 40 years of Fowlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life based on discussions with the FBI, corrections facilities in

the United States, cell mates and others, they are finding it challenging to track his movement and history in northern B.C. and are asking the public for help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that there are people who worked with him, employed him, socialized with him or even waited on him while he was in British Columbia,â&#x20AC;? said RCMP Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are open to the possibility that he committed further violent actions against other women that may or may not have been reported to the RCMP.â&#x20AC;? MacMillenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother Shawn said he hopes the announcement may help bring closure to other families in the future.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the families of the women who are still missing, we hope this means they may yet have their answers,â&#x20AC;? he said. As for the other cases, RCMP say in some instances they have very

strong â&#x20AC;&#x153;persons of interestâ&#x20AC;? but are unable to release information to the public at this point. Anyone with information about Fowler, his movements in BC or the case can call the tip line at 1-877-543-4822.

Local history ‘is alive’ with stories THE COLLECTION of historical Terrace items is growing rapidly at the library and the public gets a chance to see a piece of it at an upcoming open house this weekend. “History here is alive,” said local history librarian Owen Hewitt, who is here for four months organizing the various historical items the library has had stashed away. “The neat thing about history is it’s not just names and dates, it’s an attempt to have empathy for people living in times with advantages or disadvantages we don’t have.” Hewitt has been through the items of local pioneers’ lives and there’s quite a lot to tell. For one person, prospector Joe Felber, items donated by his family detail parts of his life in photos, documents, mining certificates, letters and postcards. For example, Felber’s matriculation card from the Swiss consulate in Winnipeg, issued in 1923, place him as the 332nd person to get a card at that office and records when he came to Canada, said Hewitt. “In many ways, his story is Canada’s story,” he said. Felber was one of the people who made Terrace a boomtown in the 1950s and during the war, he added. Whether Felber came to Canada to escape tough times in Europe or because he was an adventurer isn’t known for sure. When he came here the Great War – the First World War – was still a memory, U.S. President Harding was in power and President Wilson’s food aid was still in place, sending food aid from the U.S. to Germany and Poland. It took a lot of courage for Felber to come to Canada and northwestern B.C. at that time. “To come to B.C. must have been an insanely attractive prospect,” said Hewitt, adding that Canada was overall a fairly safe place to immigrate to at that time. “Terrace, Smithers and Hazelton wouldn’t be here if people did not do that,” he said about people leaving Europe to come to Canada. Business letters of Felber’s indicate his colleagues in Switzerland enjoyed seeing local photos and wanted him to send more.

He kept in touch with his family in Switzerland and a 1933 letter bears a stamp with a profile photo of president Paul von Hindenburg, second president of Germany from 1925 to 1934. On the back of a separate envelope, are several stamps showing where it was opened and resealed at least once when it arrived in Canada. The reason for that would be Felber’s mail was written in German, and came from Switzerland, which was surrounded by Nazis at that time, so it would be suspicious and would be checked to ensure he wasn’t a spy, said Hewitt. There are also two documents for his staking of claims to mineral deposits; one of which was at Kitsumkalum Lake. It cost $2.50 to stake a claim, and a mining certificate cost $5, which would be $67.50 in 2012 currency, said Hewitt. One item, which Hewitt isn’t sure is Felber’s but was found near his stuff in storage is a 1960s Super 8 camera, the same brand that was used to film the Kennedy assassination. “When cameras became available, everyone had to have a camera,” he said, adding that people think that sharing their lives on Twitter and other technology is a new thing but it isn’t. “People couldn’t wait to document their own lives. People have been wanting to share their lives, document their lives for a long time.” With all the interesting items, Hewitt limited himself – he set a boundary of not reading Felber’s personal letters and will not display any of his personal family photos. Hewitt says he’s a historian and a librarian, but for this project, his main role is as a librarian, meaning it’s not his job to go through every detail of the man’s life. “It is my job to ensure it’s preserved,” he said. However, people who have legitimate research needs and need access to it will be able to see the personal stuff, he added. For the open house, Hewitt says he’s selected some more “action oriented” items and historically relevant ones to show. For more details on the Local History: a living narrative open house, see the Community Calendar, page 18.

LOCAL HISTORY librarian Owen Hewitt shows a couple of historical items from the ones he’s been organizing at the library. Several items of interest will be on display at an open house this weekend.

Religious leaders discuss money, morality RELIGIOUS LEADERS gathered at Northwest Community College last week to talk about morality amidst economic crises. It was organized by Vancouver resident Rizwan Peerzada with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s B.C. Branch. The World Religions Conference is part of a work that intends to educate the world about Islam and promotes understanding between people of different religions and to bring harmony to people by bringing them closer to God. On Sept. 23, representatives from four religions – Sikhism, the Islamic faith, Christianity and Buddhism – gathered to share perspectives on the economy’s ups and downs and how to handle one’s personal money, morally, throughout our lives. From the Buddhist perspective, which is a spiritual tradition with Asian roots dating back roughly 2,500 years, Brian Ruke spoke. The former monk and now Buddhist

teacher talked about attachment to money as a cause of suffering — pointing to the second Buddhist noble truth which states the origin of suffering is attachment to transient things, like any economy which is prone to bouts of ups and downs. The next to speak was Pastor Blake Holenstein. Holenstein ministers at Terrace’s Pentecostal Assembly. He spoke from the perspective of the Christian faith – a monotheistic faith that sets itself apart from others that believe in one god by paying special attention to the birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ, believing he is the son of God and the true saviour of man. “Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus Christ is supreme over the world and the economy, everything is His, and He is the fulfilment of the law (morality),” said Holenstein. “The good news for followers of Je-

sus Christ is that they get him and that He is enough no matter what comes! There is no contentment apart from Jesus Christ, for only He will satisfy.” The speaker to follow was Muhammad Afzal Mirza. He talked about the morality of money from the perspective of Islam, another monotheistic religion. Mirza gave an example of a man, who looked another in his eyes, ignoring the other’s suffering and need for shelter. Instead, this man chose to enslave the other by contract, lending him money for his home under strict requirements to pay more than was lent within a specific time frame. And if the other man could not pay, the first would then seize everything he owned with little regard for the human impact of such actions. Chances are, he said, one would not like the first man very much. Yet, this is what the banks do.

This anecdote was a compelling example of how some contemporary models of thinking contradict ways humans ought to morally care for one another. Terrace local Davinder Singh Sangha spoke from the perspective of the Sikh religion, also a monotheistic religion. He spoke about the pursuit of money, noting the difference between its pursuit and greed. Money is a tool to be used, he said, noting the virtue in understanding the difference between stepping on others to attain or retain it, and pursuing one’s goals and using it as a tool to help others. The evening’s overall tone was respectful, engaging, and evoked contemplation through the wisdom of spiritual teachings. The conference in Terrace was just one stop on the road for the group, whose itinerary includes Prince George, Quesnel, Dease Lake and Whitehorse. This is the seventh symposium the group has held here.

Legion is nearly history Urgent need for new members or doors will close Contributed by Cmde Peter Crompton WELL ANOTHER summer is about to enter the history books, and the Branch has survived another bleak period. It won’t be much longer and our Branch here in Terrace will also be in the history books. We need new members, and remember our membership is open to all, not just exservice personnel and their families. If you support the Legion’s cause and are willing to work for that cause, we at Branch 13 need you. Those that are members need to show it – no quorum again for the September meeting. We cannot conduct business without the support of our members. I can now tell that the October general meeting is critical. We need a nominations committee chair. This is a must, so please

consider volunteering. We need help with our Poppy and Remembrance Campaign. You the members need to know our financial situation – we need your input. We are a little under seven years from our 100th Anniversary here in Terrace; at this moment reaching that anniversary is in jeopardy. Our lounge is open Monday to Thursday at 4 p.m., and Friday and Saturday at 3 p.m. If each of our present members came in just once a week for one beverage, my writing would be much brighter. Bring a guest, show them around, look at some of our history, and meet your fellow comrades. Our steak nights, first Friday of each month are still well attended, and why not – $10 with all the fresh trimmings cannot not be beat. Our Saturday afternoon meat draws starting at 4:30 p.m. are still going,

but attendance has dropped off, hopefully as winter sets in this will change. Our veterans monthly dinners will not be as regular as past years. There will be one on October 18, dinner served at 5:30 p.m. and we will be helping Comrade Otto Lindstrom to celebrate his 96th birthday. Other veterans dinners will be January 17, 2013, March 14 and May 16. On Sunday 11th November, we will be having our usual Remembrance Day Dinner. Tickets will be made available sometime in October. Other events to look forward to are, Grey Cup Day. Food will be available on that Sunday. Also Choir night is well in hand, Cmde Fern George has this under control. Next Steak Night is October 3 from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Next general meeting October 9 at 7 p.m. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

NOTICE Queensway Sewage Regulation Amendment Bylaw No. 620, 2012. The Regional District proposes to adopt Kitimat-Stikine Queensway Sewage Regulation Amendment Bylaw 620, 2012. The bylaw is at 3rd reading. The intent is to adopt Bylaw No. 620, 2012 as early as the October 19, 2012 Board meeting with new rates to take effect January 1, 2013. The current user fee has been in place since the service was first established in the 1990’s and the proposal is to increase the user charge from $92.50 bi-annually to $130 bi-annually per dwelling unit (approximately $15 to $21 per month). These increases are required to meet current costs of operations and to maintain a sufficient reserve fund. Persons wishing to inspect this bylaw or make inquiries can view it on the Regional District’s website or obtain a copy from the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine at 300 - 4545 Lazelle Avenue, Terrace, BC V8G 4E1; Telephone: (250) 615-6100 or 1-800-663-3208; email: info@rdks.bc.ca; website: www.rdks.bc.ca.

Both bylaws are at 3rd reading. The intent is to adopt both bylaws as early as the October 19, 2012 Board Meeting, with the new rates to take effective January 1, 2013 and the change in tax requisition to take effect for the 2013 property tax year. The Kitimat-Stikine Thornhill Water System Service Establishment Amendment Bylaw No. 618, 2012 proposes to increase the annual maximum requisition allowable from $100,000 to $125,000. This requisition is raised by means of parcel tax on each parcel in the service area and a property value tax based on net taxable assessment. This will result in an approximate annual parcel tax increase from $62 to $75 per parcel and an annual residential tax rate increase of approximately $.02 from $0.05 to $0.07 per year per $1000 of net taxable assessment of land and improvements. The Kitimat-Stikine Thornhill Water Rates and Regulation Amendment Bylaw No. 619, 2012 proposes to increase the user charge from $12/mth to $15/ mth per dwelling unit (billed semi-annually) and a metered rate increase from $0.27 to $0.34/m3 of water.

Climbing class for Cal students GRADE 10 and 11 students at Caledonia Secondary School started off the school year facing an uphill battle – or rather an up-mountain battle as their first unit saw them rock climbing in and around the Terrace area. Rec teacher Benjamin Mattheis continued his class tradition of showing students the ropes of northwest fitness with this year’s class. This is not the first year students have been introduced to rock climbing, but it is the first year it was taught as a unit. The teens spent a couple of weeks learning about the safe use of climbing gear, knot tying, repelling and proper belaying techniques. Belaying techniques are an integral part of safe climbing, as it is the act of anchoring the climber to the rock. Belayers are the people who stand below the climber holding the rope, anchoring them and feeding the climber the right amount of rope at the right time. Advanced climbers can eventually practise self-belaying. “But the main reason for doing this is to show kids how lucky they are to live in Terrace,” said Mattheis. After a couple of in-class sessions, the class headed to Kalum Craig for their first on-site climb on Sept. 20. Local climber Andrew Johnstone, who has taken students out climbing in the past, helped Mattheis set up the ropes for this group’s first climb. “The students’ were very excited about this trip and it was a beautiful

day,” said Mattheis. “It’s important for students to have exposure to the outdoor activities like this that community members have been involved with for years, but few know how to get started.” The class also travelled to Kitselas Craig the week after, furthering their exposure to the sport. In the unit, students get used to trusting each other and being up high, as well as respecting the rock and heights. And if students want to continue climbing after the unit is finished, there aren’t many barriers in terms of equipment, said Mattheis. “Two harnesses, a rope, shoes,” said Mattheis, noting that there is a rich climbing culture here that the kids can be a part of. With past classes, Mattheis has also been working on fundraising to build a bouldering wall at the school for student and community use. To date, $14,000 has been raised and the engineers are almost done with the drawings for the wall. “Over the last two years we have received money, services, and material from Rona, Solstice Rock Guides, both of the Rotary clubs of Terrace, McElhanney, the City of Terrace, Grad committee of 2011, various fundraisers and an anonymous donor,” he said. “We are at the end of the fundraising now working on money for the construction costs. A couple more harnesses and other pieces of equipment will also be needed,” he said. “We’re almost there.”

AT KALUM Craig on Sept. 20, Julianne Toupin descends down the rock face with Catherine Albert belaying her. The two girls are exchange students from Quebec.

Badminton league will be back at Thornhill Jr.

FILE PHOTO

THE BADMINTON club will be back at Thornhill Jr. this fall. The club typically hosts two major tournaments a year, one in the fall and one in the spring.

GET YOUR birdies ready, the badminton league is gearing up for a fall start – and once again Thornhill Jr. will be the league’s home base. Community sports groups who have used the Thornhill Jr. gym in the past were left wondering where their clubs would meet when the school closed at the end of the last school year. But talks between the groups, the city, the district and the school board have gone well and it appears the gym will be in use once again, although details are still being finalized. The school board will not be covering any of the costs to use the facility. Badminton club organizer Norm Parry said last week that the league will start up again mid-October. The league will happen twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the popular junior program taking the first time slot from 6:30 - 8 p.m. and the adult program running from

8 - 10 p.m. One difference this year is that the junior group will be made up of players aged 8 to 16, with the 17 and 18-yearold players being moved to the adult group to allow for more mentoring and coaching opportunities, and to free up space in the junior time slot. There will be 50 spaces open in the junior program. One bonus to groups using the gym this year is that there might be options to hold events at different times during the day, like for seniors’ groups, or have more leeway for weekend tournaments, said Parry. “It can be a resource available to use for the community,” he said, noting that it will be up to the people who use it to be responsible with the space, keeping it clean and running well. The indoor soccer league has also said it will be using the gym. Volleyball and archery clubs have used the gym in the past.

Bike biathlon is on target By Anna Killen ANYONE WHO has ever shot a rifle knows that hitting the target takes a clear mind with focussed concentration and a steady hand. This can be hard to do in the calmest conditions, especially for beginner marksmen – but imagine having to hit that target in the midst of a bike race, adrenaline pumping and heart racing, and you can begin to understand what it’s like for competitors of the bike biathlon, happening Oct. 13 at the Terrace Rod and Gun Club. “It’s all about the breath,” says Chris Schooner, veteran marksman and coach and organizer of the 3rd annual Terrace Bike Biathlon, which combines an event that many people are comfortable with, biking, with an event that is new to many, shooting. The bike biathlon started here in Terrace following the club’s experience with the 2010 Winter Games. As some residents may remember, there was a definitive lack of snow for the duration of the games, so the biathlon competition, which combines cross-country skiing and target shooting, ended up being a running and shooting competition instead. After witnessing how the biathlon could be transformed, the group decided to begin hosting a bike biathlon, where participants would bike the biathlon route instead of ski. The last two years have seen the event increase in

For the biathlon, the club

he reality show I surfed into a week ago was so real it was surreal and so ghastly in part that it beggared my imagination. The show was about how India dealt with its waste. India, it turns out, recycles about 80 per cent of its garbage, putting North America’s paltry record of somewhere around 35 per cent to shame. If you want to know about waste, you follow the trash, which is just what the documentary’s crew did. First, the expensive waste – metals, electronics and so forth – were sorted and shipped. Next wood and large plastic containers were culled. So it went until all that was left was offal, decomposing vegetable matter, waste that couldn’t be burned, and plastic bags. One of the largest cities in a country with more people than any other can generate a lot of this stuff in a day. The documentarists followed a seemingly endless procession of garbage trucks, each with its bunks overflowing with the aforementioned waste, to the garbage dump in Mumbai. There is a hell on earth, and this was it. The dump was so massive that it extended beyond the horizon. While fighting off waves of nausea, the host described an otherworldly stench – a fetid malodorous bouquet of decaying matter and toxic chemicals so thick it hung like fog over the entire place.

provides ear protection, safety glasses and .22 calibre rifles that were donated years ago for youth training. They are in the process of upgrading the sights on the rifles to ones that have periscopic lenses, which make it easier to focus on the target. Schooner wants new shooters to have success hitting the target, because ultimately it’s about having fun. “Our whole feeling here is we want to make it an intermediate, fun level event,” says Schooner, noting that a

number of families participate and that there are scores of coaches and volunteers on hand to help beginners through the process. “It’s very straightforward,” he says. Participants bike a minimum of three loops of the trail that winds through the Rod and Gun Club’s property – and which will be readied and maintained with the help of TORCA, the Terrace Off Road Cycling Association – stopping in between each loop to shoot at a series of

targets, ranging in distance depending on the class of competition. Each loop is timed, and there is a 20 second penalty for every missed target. And if you’ve never shot before, but still want to participate, the club hosts open practises every Saturday morning from 9:30 a.m. to noon so interested parties can try the rifles and get a feel for the trails to ensure a safe event. “Safety is the biggest issue here,” says Schooner. And especially at an event with lots of beginners, like this one. As such, there will be one-on-one coaching at the target and shooters will be firing prone, which means lying down. “It’s probably the safest rifle position,” he says. Three people at the club are now “Biathlon Bears” coaches – a program similar to CanSkate – who, aside from being able to coach, can train adults to act as supervisors for biathlon training. The club was the recipient of a grant from Biathlon BC, which helps to keep the cost of the event, at $10, low. Participants need to provide their own bikes and helmets. Registration is at 9 a.m. with a 9:30 until noon run time. And although the shooting range might not seem to be spectator friendly, this is not the case. “We welcome and encourage people to come out,” says Schooner, noting there will be a seating area. “It’s a lot of fun to watch.”

Roller Derby THE NORTHCOAST Nightmares roller derby team practises twice a week on Tues. and Fri. evenings from 6-8 p.m. at the Hawkair Hanger. Check the team’s Facebook page or e-mail northcoastnightmares@ gmail.com to find out how to join. Newbies only need a mouthguard.

is still lots of room for improvement, recycling opportunities in this area have got a lot better recently. He takes all his plastic and metals to the bins that were until recently located near the train station and, unfortunately, have now been moved to a more inconvenient location on highway 16 near Wal-Mart. Bottles have never been hard to dispose of. Dionys takes his to the depot near Sears (which also takes worn electronic devices, incidentally). The deLeeuw’s milk cartons are burnt in their wood stove, which has a catalytic converter. Dionys and Mary take their own bags when they shop and they make a point of not buying items that are over packaged or contain materials that they suspect will pose recycling difficulties. Dionys stores sugar, salt, and other kitchen items in plastic containers that many of us throw out. When it comes to organic matter, everything is composed or fed to the dogs. Dionys has three composters working in rotation at once. Sure this takes time and effort but there is much pleasure to be derived from the exercise of avoiding waste and much pride to be gained achieving an almost zero waste household. If we all emulated the deLeeuws and various levels of government and retailers got behind our energies with the appropriate incentives and legislation, there would be no need for a new landfill.
