Photo rule affects Nisga’a vote NEW CANDIDATE requirements have reduced the number of people running for seats in next month’s Nisga’a national and local government elections. Several key positions are about to be filled by acclamation and in two cases, not enough people have been nominated to fill out village council positions even

through this by default process. One of the new regulations, the requirement to submit a photograph with nomination papers, is being touted by some as one of the main reasons potential candidates didn’t make it onto the ballots. Ron Nyce is the only person on the ballot for the

chief councillor’s position at Gitwinksihlkw. He said that while he submitted a photograph to fulfill nomination requirements, a number of people hoping to run for elected office throughout the Nisga’a Nation did not. “Some of those people have been there for four years already and they

should have known better,” said Nyce of existing elected members who had planned to run again. He said the regulations, released in late July, stemmed from Nisga’a national legislation which was passed last summer by some of the very same people who now can’t run because they did not submit a photograph.

In the case of the Gitwinksihlkw chief councillor’s position, three people submitted nomination papers at first. Eva Clayton, one of three people running for the position of Nisga’a Lisims Government president, said said she is aware of many who ran afoul of the photograph requirement.

“We had the most people ever who wanted to be candidates,” she said. “I’m aware that a number were disqualified.” Clayton felt that the current Nisga’a Lisims national government may have done a better job of circulating nomination requirements.

Valley, for instance, might now be attracted to Terrace, Speidel said. But this does present some staffing challenges for the district, as these students don’t always stay for the full year. By the end of last year, about 100 students had left the district – the majority at the secondary level. “It’s a challenge for us, when you think of 100 kids and making space for 100 kids. In September I have to make sure we’re staffed,” said Speidel. “So we panic about having classes that are too full, but when the dust settles at the end of it all it averages out. Especially at the secondary level.” And some students from private and First Nations-run elementary schools are now coming to Skeena one year earlier since it added Grade 7. This influx of students at the secondary level helps boosts enrolment numbers and cushions some of the blow that occurs when more students graduate than enter kindergarten, said Speidel. Right now, there are 581 grade 12s throughout the district but on average, between 310 and 330 kindergarteners have been registering over the past few years. “So if you’re putting out

580 at the top end and bringing in 330 at the bottom end, and you pick up about 100 kids from the independent schools and first nations schools in between there, we’re still out about 100 kids when we look at next year’s projections,” said Speidel. There are now 709 Grade 10-12 students at Caledonia and 629 Grade 7-9 students at Skeena Middle School. Some elementary schools held their own despite losing Grade 7 to Skeena Middle School. Ecole Mountainview, for example, now has approximately 150 students as a kindergarten to Grade 6 school, roughly the same number it had last year when it was a kindergarten to Grade 7 school. Officials start making their September enrolment projections as early as January and begin estimating how many teachers they’ll need in February. Adjustments are made up until June. Speidel says the district’s enrolment has been in decline since 1997, which is as far as his data goes back – although he suspects it goes back further. “We were a district that was upwards of 9000 students at one time,” he said.

Student decline is holding steady Public school enrolment numbers have continued to drop this year, but not by as much as school officials were anticipating. Officials thought the drop would be approximately 175 students but the actual drop was 137, said Coast Mountains School District director of instruction Brent Speidel. By the end of September, when school districts report their enrolments to the province, head counts in Terrace, Kitimat, Hazelton and Stewart schools stood at 4,762. The number of students at Caledonia, which added Grade 10 to its Grade 11 and Grade 12 offerings this year, and at Skeena Middle School, which added Grade 7 after losing Grade 10 to Cal, making it a Grade 7-9 school, threw off estimates. “Both Skeena and Cal were well above projections,” said Speidel. He attributed part of the increase to students moving from outside the area to Terrace for secondary school. As school populations drop elsewhere in the northwest, the kinds of courses that can be offered also declines, so students from Prince Rupert or the Nass

Cain supporters aren’t giving up A DOG awaiting his day in court to determine if he should be destroyed remains in the Kitimat-Stikine regional district’s Thornhill shelter but supporters who want him taken to the Kitimat Humane Society shelter aren’t giving up. “What they’ve done is said ‘nope the dog still stays here,’” said Maryann Ouellet, manager of the Kitimat Humane Society, about the regional district’s response to the last attempt to get the dog transferred to Kitimat. She will be working on another plan to have Cain transferred to what she and other supporters have said is a better place for him to be until his court date in December. The German shepherd has been in the Thornhill animal shelter since this past Easter. Cain, who belongs to a Thornhill family, was apprehended and placed

into the Thornhill animal shelter after he bit a child and tore another child’s pants last April. The Thornhill animal shelter subsequently asked for a destruction order for the dog. That would require a court order. Cain’s owner Paul MacNeil asked the regional district at its August meeting to let the dog be moved to the Kitimat Humane Society where he and his supporters believe the canine would have better care until its trial day in December. A provincial court judge will decide whether the dog poses a danger to the public and whether it can be rehabilitated. Other factors, including if this is Cain’s first offence, will be taken into consideration. The judge’s decision will be made after hearing from the dog owner and witnesses. The process is just as

if it was a criminal trial was underway. Transferring Cain would be of benefit to the regional district as it would no longer be paying to keep him locked up. Money for his board would come from operating costs of the shelter which isn’t just taxpayers’ money but also comes from fees, fines and charges, said regional district administrator Bob Marcellin. The boarding fee for dogs at the shelter is $8 per day. Staffing costs would be in addition. “Cost is not really a factor at this point. [Cain is] in our jurisdiction [and] our legal control because there is a court case,” said Murray Daly, regional district bylaw enforcement officer. As of today, Oct. 24, Cain has been at the Thornhill animal shelter for 202 days, which in boarding costs would be $1,616, not including labour costs.

Ignore that Spanish letter IN YET another attempt to separate people fromo their money, a man last week reported to local RCMP that he had received a bogus letter in the mail. The writer claimed to be a lawyer from Spain and heir to a fortune and needed help to access this fortune. Mailing fake official-looking letters or sending out mass emails has

become popular among scam artists worldwide. Just last week, however, Spanish police say they arrested 23 people accused of being involved in a fake inheritance scam. The group is alleged to have sent out 20,000 letters a day in an attempt to falsely obtain money from people around the world.

Here’s a peek at Thornhill’s ever-evolving business picture. by Lauren Benn It’s hard to miss the deepcoral red and granny-apple green buildings that stand out from a forested backdrop where Hwy16 meets Hwy 37 South in Thornhill. Formerly the Motz Industrial Plaza, the property and buildings were purchased five years ago by Glen Saunders, who also owns the boutiquestyle furniture, decor and gift store Flying Fish. The store occupies a two-storey retail space in the south-east corner of the main Skeena Landing building there. Saunders first moved into a southeastern storefront in the largest of four buildings on the property. The second step was to renovate and open the Lodge at Skeena Landing and Blackstone’s restaurant. His vision has always been to create something a little different for the area. “We’re trying to create a village kind of atmosphere where you can wander amongst the different businesses and services,” said Saunders. He moved closer to this vision in May 2012 when Cafe Zesta opened its doors in the bright building that sits alone on the property’s northwest corner. “It was just a home,” said Saunders. “There was basically a studio space and a kind of like a secondary living room and another bedroom.” To get the building cafe ready, a wall was ripped down, concrete floors were stained, wiring was redone —

finished off with a fresh coat of paint. Since its opening, a bustling lunch crowd has kept Cafe Zesta’s owners Bernise Johnson and Petra Stenner busy prepping their fromscratch menu. The pair initially started the business themselves but have hired four staff since to keep up with the pace. In the main building, the top of three stories saw renovations to three existing apartment buildings which have been furnished and are being rented to resource-industry workers. The building’s second floor is currently vacant. “It’s basically a shell that would need to be finished. The good thing is you can do whatever people need,” said Saunders. On the building’s main floor, a series of retail and office spaces have seen some new tenants. The Northcoast Gallery moved into a space there this summer along with accounting firm Sunronkai. There are retail and office spaces left to fill, and Saunders says he hopes to attract a diversity of business to the development. “I’d love to see a ladies clothing store,” he said. Ultimately, Saunders said he is pleased with progress made, adding his vision for the property is “exactly where it is going now.” “A lot of people forget that Thornhill’s ... two thirds the size of Terrace,” said Saunders. “And there’s a fraction of the services.”

Cafe Zesta employee Cole Lamke makes an Americano on the job at the area’s newest cafe, breakfast and lunch spot. Since opening in May 2012, owners Bernise Johnson and Petra Stenner have hired four new employees to keep up with the pace of their growing business.

A seven-year stint in business sprung from a love for horses is winding down in Thornhill. Owner of Northcoast Tack and Supplies Gayle Begin says she is closing her Thornhill-based retail store because she is now ready to retire. “It’s been great,” she said. “Thank you all for supporting me.” The store, which sells equestrian tack, feed, clothing, small gifts and other horse related items, will close within the next six weeks. In-store stock will be liquidated up until then, said Begin. The store’s building on River Road which has been owned by Begin sold recently. “It’s been for sale a couple of years,” she said. A new owner is set to take possession of the building in about six week’s time. And for Begin, she says she’s looking forward to retirement. “I’m a horse lover,” she said. “I plan to retire and ride my horses.”

Local jerky breaks into foreign markets The first load of jerky made with locally and sustainably harvested salmon has landed in Japan. Thornhill-based River Wild Salmon Inc., a partner with American retail giant Patagonia, is entering its second year in business since it opened a $3 million processing plant in Thornhill in September of 2011. It is currently testing foreign markets to see how they’ll respond to locally-made product. The company recently shipped 2,100 2oz packages of salmon jerky to Japan, which according to River Wild’s operation manager Bobby Moniz has quite the jerky culture. “It takes time to really get into the market,” said Moniz, adding for the most part the Lauren Benn PHOTO company is in its sampling Bobby Moniz shows off cold and hot smoked salm- phase to see what consumer response to product is. on available at River Wild Salmon in Thornhill.

“There are definitely some irons in the fire,” he said. Since the plant’s opening, about 20,000 2 oz. packages of salmon jerky have been sold, along with cold and hot smoked salmon which has been sold locally in a retailportion of the River Dr. plant in Thornhill. The plant here produces three jerky flavours — smoked black pepper, teriyaki, and chilli pepper. To date, roughly 750 packages of the jerky have been sold locally to residents of the area and tourists, out of both the Thornhill location and various businesses around town. “The local stuff wasn’t expected to be our huge market, but it’s cool to have local support,” said Moniz. For sale through Pategonia retail locations in the

U.S., 17,000 packages of jerky have been shipped to 22 U.S. Pategonia retail locations there. To Europe, jerky sales are at 400 packages. The Thornhill fish plant started last year with four employees in sales and marketing and two in back-ofhouse production. The number of employees working there has increased by two, said Moniz, both in the production area. For its next season of business, the company purchased 30,000 lbs of sockeye salmon from river-based fisheries in the region — from both the Gitanyow fishery on the Meziadin and the Lake Babine Nation fishery on the Babine River It sources another 20,000 lbs from a southeastern Alaskan fishery on the Situk river.

“Because of our sustainability citeria, you can’t just go buy salmon on the open market,” said Moniz about how the company sources its fish and why it reached out to Alaska this season. “It’s about maing sure you have other options avaiable to you.” The company’s premise is using salmon harvested from fisheries that limit the bycatch mortality of other fish. According to Greg Knox from Skeena Wild Salmon Conservation Trust, which has added its stamp to River Wild’s product, traditional gill-net fisheries have between a 50 to 70 per cent mortality rate for fish species that are caught and thrown back into the water. Prior to arriving in Thornhill, salmon are cleaned at the Canfisco plant in Prince Rupert.

Wednesday, October 24, 2012 Terrace Standard

EDITORIAL

Stats mess THE PROVINCIAL government needs to get a better handle on the employment statistics it uses for the northwest. September 2012’s figures are a case in point. We’re told the workforce (the definition includes those who have a job as well as those looking for work) numbers 42,900 people. Compare that to September 2011 when the workforce totalled 49,000. It means we’re expected to believe that 6,100 people removed themselves in some fashion from the northwest workforce. Further, employment comparisons for the same two Septembers show a drop of 6,400 in the number of people actually working in the region. Really? So much for the province’s Jobs Plan. Somewhere, someplace, something is screwy. There’s no way there can be 6,400 fewer people working last September compared to now. If so, we’d be looking at a socio-economic disaster that would make the collapse of the northwest forest industry a decade ago look like a tea party. And now that we’re told the northwest is on the verge of a huge economic upswing and there’s a growing movement to train local residents for jobs, the province needs more accurate and more reliable statistics upon which to make crucial employment policy decisions. If this was southern B.C., you know they’d be up nights doing exactly that. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

She’d love to be able to donate books

ver recent months have you donated a new book – or two – to the Terrace Public Library? Have you waited forever to see your donated book show up on a shelf or listed in New Books online? I have. And as I learned last Saturday I’m not the only one waiting. Soon after January 21, 2011, when I bought two copies of The Misadventures of Russell Quigley, Photographer’s Mate, United States Navy written by David Griffiths, I donated one copy to the Terrace Public Library. I bought the book after seeing a glowing recommendation in a magazine and reading a hilarious page or two from the book on Amazon. The book was praised for being humourous and throwing light on the day-to-day life of a US Navy photographer. The back cover offers four thumbs up from a retired USAF SMSgt, a Retired USN PHCM, a USN ABFCS(AW), and a USN PHC (AW). I’ll admit I didn’t check out those rankings, but trusted their judgment. Because I so enjoyed the sample pages I read, I bought

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI two copies – one to keep, the other for the library in case retired naval personnel living in Terrace might also find the book reminiscent of their marine experiences. Realizing the library is short staffed, I patiently waited, routinely combing the latest online list of new books hoping to find my title among them. But so far, nothing. So what did the library do with it? Did they pile it on the heap put out at a book sale? Did the library board reject it for some obscure reason and ban it from their shelves yet not even offer me an explanation or give it back to me?

that no large library has as yet assigned a MARC Record, the library sets the book aside hoping one day soon a large library will be moved to produce a MARC Record and the book can then be set out for patrons to choose. But suppose the book donated was written by a local, perhaps self published, and has escaped media attention beyond the local newspaper? How is a major library to learn of the book’s existence and be moved to create a MARC Record? In the case of my navy book, the library is waiting for Victoria or Vancouver to be offered a copy to codify. If no MARC Record materializes in periodic searches, the local library in a pinch can do their best to create a MARC Record, but it wouldn’t be as comprehensive. Perturbed with the almost two year wait for my donated book to be available to readers I’ve actually thought, “That’s the last book I’ll ever donate to the public library. What’s the point?” Learning why my book is still languishing in a box waiting for a miracle to spring it has reinforced my thought.

Saturday I learned why at least some donated books wait in limbo for months. Before any book can be listed in the local library’s catalogue, and then put out on a shelf, it must be assigned a MARC Record. A MARC Record is a comprehensive ‘pedigree’ assigned to each title written in code that all library computers can read.

dawson creek in the Peace River benefits from a share of the province’s natural resources tax revenue.

Let’s go for a fair share

Dear Sir: I have been informed that the City of Terrace has begun to lobby the province to give them a “fair share” program just as the province did for northeastern B.C. some years ago. The fair share program was designed to share provincial revenues such as oil, gas, and stumpage revenues with towns and cities in specific districts of the

province. The fair share concept was given to the Peace River district by Dan Miller about 15 years ago. Given to does not mean it was developed by Dan, it means it was delivered by Dan. Taxation is a way to generate income for the government, but the only taxation revenue that cities have comes from property taxation.

The province has many income streams, royalties on many items, oil and gas, timber, agriculture and range leases, fur royalties, property taxes, income taxes and other minor ones, water permit and sundry permits. Districts of the province have long held the position that revenues generated by resources that lay in the boundaries of the district should

be shared with the districts. This is not a new or novel idea, the regional district here began the idea with Marty Allen, myself, Alice Maitland, Pete Weeber and Frank Armitage. That, my friend, was in the pre-history that no one knows about or cares about. We knew that all the stumpage money, millions of dollars, went

straight to general revenue in Victoria. That the resources were local didn’t matter to Victoria, they just kept the money so the local governments had to fix roads and things with the money they got from property taxation. The regional district worked on that for quite a long time, but like Ford Edsel, it failed. Cont’d Page A12

Dear Sir: China is making huge investments in B.C. and Canada as a whole right now. I don’t object to foreign investment in Canada in general when it is done by corporations, but foreign governments doing it gives me the heebeegeebies, especially when they are investing in what they clearly describe as strategic assets. Another thing that I wonder about China is their vigorous support of the Syrian government in its on-going war against its own population. (Stay with me here, I’m connecting these thoughts.) They (along with Russia) are supporting Syria’s right to use military power against its own citizens because they want to maintain an international precedent for them to point to should they feel they need to do that themselves. June 4, 1989, the Chinese army was used to kill more than a thousand pro-democracy protesters. It is not like it hasn’t happened before. This raises questions: 1) If a resource asset in the ground in Canada is considered strategic by a foreign state, why is it not considered strategic by us? 2) If China becomes such a huge component of our economy, not just owning, but operating vast parts of our resource economy, having direct control over large parts of our economy; how is Canada going to react when China finds it necessary to militarily suppress its own citizens again? Or launches an aggressive war on its neighbours ostensibly over an island? (Could happen. See The Economist.) What are we going to say? What are we going to do to express our good old-fashioned Canadian moral outrage when they own us? Are we going to apply trade sanctions against ourselves? That’ll show ‘em. Dave Menzies, Terrace, BC

Carbon tax is inefficient, costly and useless

t seems the further you get away from Vancouver, the more hated the carbon tax becomes. The B.C. government has sent its Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services around the province to hear submissions on what should be included in the 2013-14 provincial budget. The Vancouver meeting was packed with the usual suspects supporting the carbon tax—the Pembina Institute, the David Suzuki Foundation, Simon Fraser University’s Carbon Talks, Tides Canada, TransLink board chair Nancy Olewiler, Climate Smart Businesses Inc., UBCC350 and the Canadian Wind Energy Association. But the tax is receiving a rough ride elsewhere. A presenter in Fort St. John made a clear case to kill the carbon tax. Brent Hodson, president of the Fort St. John and District Chamber of Commerce, pointed out that northern chambers want

to scrap the tax—a position identical to the Peace River regional district, which called it “ineffective and discriminatory to residents who live and work in the north.” At the same meeting, Janet Banman of the B.C. Grain Producers Association said an average farmer pays $4,300 a year in carbon tax. “A farmer has to grow approximately 15 acres of food crop just for that carbon tax,” Banman pointed out. Added farmer and local politician Arthur Hadland: “I was a little distressed when I heard the Vancouver mayor doing the rahrah for the carbon tax. I just was not impressed. The rural areas, the northern areas, are net contributors to that whole infrastructure, and here he wants to suck more out of us.” In Kamloops, resident John Sternig told the committee that 61.5 per cent of carbon tax revenue is redirected in tax breaks to business. “The problem with that tax is

g u e s t c o mm e n t

Jordan Bateman with business, if it’s a cost and business is able to pass it on, they most certainly will. So the premise of the carbon tax, unfortunately, I don’t think, works very well,” he said. Fort Nelson’s chamber of commerce called for the carbon tax to be eliminated. In Kelowna, Kirpal Boparai, president of the B.C. Fruit Grow-

ers Association, told the committee, “the carbon tax makes our production costs higher than our [American] competitors.” Susan Clovechok of the Columbia Valley Chamber of Commerce told the committee in Cranbrook that the carbon tax has cost local businesses. “We also have a steel fabricator. For him to gain contracts, his cost of shipping is exorbitant and will often lose him bids because of the cost of transportation,” Clovechok told the committee. It’s easy for Lower Mainlanders, blessed with multiple transit lines and mild weather, to suggest ratcheting up the carbon tax. Indeed, Pembina has recommended $200 per tonne as the level of carbon tax necessary for B.C. to meet emissions reduction targets by 2020. That would multiply the current $30 per tonne tax by nearly seven times. Can you afford to add another 40 cents in carbon tax and GST on top of what you already pay for every litre of gas? What will

that do to heating bills? Or to the cost of goods and services? The carbon tax isn’t reducing our fuel purchases—Statistics Canada shows provincial gas and diesel sales for vehicles went up more than 9 per cent from 2008 to 2011. And despite our carbon tax, B.C. still trails the rest of the country in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. B.C.’s emissions dropped 4.5 per cent from 2007 to 2010; Canada’s emissions fell 8 per cent during that time. Canada, without a carbon tax, has been nearly twice as successful at cutting greenhouse gas emissions. It’s time for B.C. politicians to listen carefully to what those outside the Lower Mainland are saying—the carbon tax must go. Jordan Bateman is the British Columbia Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. The federation describes itself as “Canada’s leading nonpartisan citizens’ advocacy group fighting for lower taxes, less waste and accountable government.”

Tourism leads the way to economic growth

FOR some, a dream job would be a vacation planner – for themselves! Vacationing in B.C. can take so many forms that it would indeed be a full-time job. The tourism and hospitality industry is an extremely diverse industry with over 400 different occupations – including occupations that lead to longer-term careers, as well as those that fit well for those seeking parttime work, like students or older workers who are not yet ready to retire. British Columbia’s tourism industry will be a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to fill 101,000 new job openings by 2020, according to a study of labour demand and supply by go2, the BC tourism industry’s human resource association. In Terrace the groundwork is prepared by the Kermodei Tourism Society which has a two-pronged strategy of promoting the area

to people who live elsewhere and then servicing, through the visitor information centre, people when they do arrive to sample the area’s attractions. A key part of the society’s strategy is its annual “Visit Terrace, BC” publication distributed throughout the province and beyond. The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released in the spring of 2012 by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry. Nearly half of the 101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province, adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020. The other approximately 57,000 openings are due to replacements (i.e. retirements). “The labour strategy co-ordinated by go2 is a key pillar of industry

growth in the province. Without it, we simply wouldn’t have the skilled workers in place to deliver the visitor experience throughout BC,” says Lana Denoni, Chair of TIABC, the Tourism Industry Association of British Columbia. British Columbia’s location makes it unique within Canada. Its mountain and coastal scenery, opportunities for summer sailing, winter skiing, and other activities such as fishing or sightseeing in coastal or inland waters or experiencing our vibrant cities all make us a world-class destination. BC’s tourism and hospitality industry is now the single largest “primary resource industry” in the province, generating an annual real GDP ($2002) of more than $6.4 billion in 2010, ahead of forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction, and agriculture. Tourism and hospitality generated $13.4

billion in annual revenue in 2010. Overall, between 2004 and 2010, industry revenues grew by a total of 25.5 per cent, representing an average annual growth rate of 4.2 per cent. The provincial government’s Gaining the Edge: A Five-year Strategy for Tourism in British Columbia targets revenue growth of five per cent a year that will top $18 billion in tourism spending by 2016. The fastest growing sectors for tourism job growth over the next decade are expected to be recreation and entertainment and travel services. There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-related businesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers, or 10.8 per cent of B.C.’s total labour force of 2.4 million people.

School arson damage broke student’s heart Dear Sir: I am a fourteen-yearold girl trying to make a difference for my school. So I would really love it if you would all please read this so you all realize how important school really is. School helps children and teenagers prepare for adulthood and become citizens in this world. Cassie Hall Elementary School has changed my life forever. I learned about friendship, love, commitment and so much more through the teachers’ dedication to education. Lately this beautiful school has not been getting the respect it deserves. On Aug. 9 Cassie Hall was the victim of an arson fire around the multipurpose room that caused thousands of dollars of damage to the pipes.

a piece of playground equipment at Cassie Hall Elementary was damaged in an Aug. 9 fire. The fire was deliberately set. The only thing that saved this wonderful school is the sprinkler systems and the fire department shortly after. Thank goodness there was nobody inside. But when I found out this news it broke my heart. I was so angry I wished I had been there to stop the fire before it got so bad. On Sept. 23 a 19-year-old man, a

Man wanted TERRACE RCMP are looking for Preston Wapash, 24, who is 175 cm tall, weighs 61 kg and has brown eyes and brown hair. Wapash is wanted for a review of sentence on two charges of break and enter and three charges of possession of property obtained by crime. Call through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS.

Preston Wapash

14-year-old girl and an 11-year-old girl are alleged to have tried to burn down the equipment in the playground . This is not what any school deserves. Every day I hear kids and teens say I hate school, or I did not do my homework last night, or really rude stuff to the teachers. Teachers put their hearts and souls out and give up their time to spend it teaching us everything we know and are learning today. Well you know what? I love school. Always have, always will. I know if I do my homework every night, study hard, listen and be respectful to my teachers, and use my time wisely, one day I will have a great future and become what I am meant to be. But if you do not do your homework every night or listen to your teachers and don’t try

your best then your future may not turn out the way you hoped it would. Imagine you are a young adult, trying to get a job so you can get a place of your own, but you can’t find work. Maybe you did not listen in school, never learned respect for others or to do your best; so now you are living on the streets or at your grandparents house or back with your parents. School is a privilege and how you use it and treat it will either help you or bite you in the future. If you do your homework, study hard, listen and respect your teachers, and try your best it will pay off. If you don’t, well then I hope you really loved living with your parents because that’s where you will end up. I would like to thank all of my wonderful teachers from Cassie Hall and Skeena Middle School for their hard work in getting me where I am today and making me who I am. All of you are like family to me and have been there when I needed you. Kimberley Wilson, Terrace, BC

Forceman Ridge vote plan is voted down By Margaret Speirs AN ATTEMPT to have a referendum to decide if Forceman Ridge on Hwy37 South should be the location for a new landfill was defeated at the Oct. 19 KitimatStikine regional district meeting. The vote, 6-5 against the idea of having a referendum, took place after some heated discusion over the Forceman Ridge location, a controversial central point in the regional district’s overall plan to reduce the amount of material that’s thrown away. Director Doug McLeod, who represents the rural area that takes in Forceman Ridge, introduced what’s called an alternate approval process. It requires either a poll or for electors to be contacted for their opinion if there should be a referendum on Forceman Ridge. Groups and individuals have criticized the location, saying contaminants will leach into the surrounding countryside, eventually reaching Lakelse Lake. There has been no public engagement, which McLeod said is wanted and would bedemocratic. Director Ted Ramsey, who represents Thornhill, seconded McLeod’s motion. Bruce Bidgood, a City of Terrace representative, asked how much the alternate proposal would cost if it went through and there was a referendum as sought by the public. Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine administrator Bob Marcellin said a referendum or plebiscite could cost $10,000 to $15,000. Ten per cent of electors would

have to vote in favour of a referendum for it to be put in place. Directors were told the first issue was to determine who the electors are, which is difficult when you have residents and non-resident electors. An ad letting people know about the vote could be published in a newspaper and could include a cut out ballot for people to send in, said Kitimat councillor Corinne Scott. Marcellin said it wasn’t that easy as only electors could receive a ballot to vote on a referendum. He clarified that the number of electors is not the same as the number of residents listed on the most recent census. Hazelton mayor Alice Maitland said even if someone could fill out a ballot in the paper and send it in, someone at the regional district would have to know who the voters are and with so many electoral areas and two municipalities, it wouldn’t be easy. Bidgood said there was a potential bias too as people with “activist leanings” would reply to the ballot – those who are strongly in favour or strongly opposed would respond but the silent majority wouldn’t necessarily do that. And for everyone to see the ballot, it would have to be at election time so it’s guaranteed that everyone will see it. Director Dave Brocklebank of Telegraph Creek reminded the board that not everyone has media access, meaning someone would have to go out to tell people about it, which would add

more expenses. McLeod agreed money would have to be spent but said that the board has spent money on other things, such as lawyers, and there wasn’t any discussion on that. “Here is a matter [where we] can consult the public with consequences,” he said. At a meeting on Forceman Ridge this past May, McLeod took a poll of people at the door, and out of the 100 people or so that came, only five agreed with Forceman Ridge. “Let’s ask the public for their opinion even though it’s difficult. We’ve done difficult tasks in the past, let’s do it.” Voting against McLeod’s plan were Kitimat councillor Corinne Scott, New Hazelton mayor Gail Lowry, Stewart councillor Billie-Ann Belcher, Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski, city councillor Bruce Bidgood and Hazelton mayor Alice Maitland. Voting in favour were Telegraph Creek director Dave Brocklebank, area around Terrace director Doug McLeod, Thornhill director Ted Ramsey and Dease Lake alternate director Joey Waite. Nass Valley director Harry Nyce, as board chair, did not vote. Of about 25 audience members who came out to hear what McLeod had to say, and support his idea, most left at this point and one person was heard to remark “What a sham.” The overall plan is to close the city’s Kalum Lake Road landfill and turn the Thornhill landfill into a transfer station. Recycling would be emphasized.

Go for a fair tax share But the idea was correct and it was sound. Dave Barrett, first socialist to be premier, understood some of that, and felt sorry for the outcasts in this diverse province and brought in a revenue sharing program that was doomed by the new government. The Mike Harcourt government brought in a beast he called forest renewal that took money from stumpage fees and put that money back into projects initiated from all districts. It was an attempt at sharing handicapped by a whole bunch of loony ideas, like shearing porcupines to make slip-

pers. But it did get its money back to the boonies, where the resources came from. Then along came Dan Miller, interim premier with the NDP. The northwest cities and regional districts saw a chance to make changes and put the pressure on Dan. Their idea was to take the royalties collected from oil, gas, timber and agriculture and give a portion of that back to the region they came from. Fair share. What a wicked socialist idea! So Dan went along with that, and put it into legislation.

And it has been a success, at least the population of the Peace are happy about it. But the concept was never expanded to include anyone else. Now the city wants the same thing as those guys got. But the city has no resources. All the local resources are in the regional district. Not too much wrong with that. Fort St. John has no gas wells in town, they are all outside, somewhere. The cities in the northeast have to do a fair share of their own, so will Terrace. The city is organizing, getting all the gang together, it went to the

Union of BC Municipalities convention in Victoria as a group, even getting the press on their side for help. It was and is the right thing. So good luck with that. We have, in Victoria, at this time, a government that is fragmented, unsteady and never did believe in sharing anything – especially not money. Go for it anyway, and good luck with that.

merly Amber Braid of Terrace, was great showing such talent and very well received by all in attendance. It is always a treat to follow local Pacific Northwest Music Festival talent whenever there is an opportunity for which we are very thankful. Olga Power, Nanaimo, BC

AUCTION: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2 PM VIEW FROM 1 PM

Teachers fear music focus is weakening SCHOOL BOARD chair Art Erasmus says he’ll meet with the president of the local teachers’ union to discuss the growing unrest amongst teachers involving music education. “There has been a subtle shift in the focus around music,” said Terrace and District Teachers’ Union president Cathy Lambright in an interview. “What we originally had was a complete music and band program that was taught by music and band specialists and that’s where the majority of not only music and band teachers, but the majority of teachers, would like to see it continued,” she said. “It’s something the union hopes to bring to the education committee for a discussion because we feel that this is a valuable program and we would hate to see it fall by the wayside or slowly be eroded.” Lambright said the union executive is concerned about the future of music education in the district, citing examples at various schools. “The program at Suwilaawks Elementary has changed and it’s no longer a music and band program the way it had originally been envisioned through most of

the district, they are moving to a fine arts focus,” she said, noting that she believed that school no longer employs a music specialist. “From the music educators I deal with in Terrace, they’re concerned that the band and music program is being watered down,” said Lambright. “They are concerned because, lets face it, Terrace has always had a really strong music program.” School board chair Erasmus agrees that Terrace’s music and especially the band program have always been a point of pride for the district and community. “When the money crunch that’s been with us for a while started, a number of school districts basically cut out band in elementary altogether. We have been able to maintain band in our elementary schools and secondary schools,” he said, noting that this was made possible in part by the support of the Dare-to-Dream Foundation and with the help of Alcan. The foundation was formed when band was cut altogether from elementary in an early school district budget crisis. Band has since returned to elementary schools and the foundation now offers an intensive weekend workshop each year for

elementary students. “It is clearly a highly desired program in the community and music education, including band, is good for kids and so we want to continue it,” Erasmus said. But continuing the program is not without its challenges. “As we decrease in population, the people who have the right to jobs are the people with the most seniority and those are not necessarily teachers in the arts or teachers in PE,” he said. Programs and staffing are also affected by school size. “Our schools are not big enough for each school to have a full-time music teacher and we’re competing with the province for teachers who have training in music but can also teach other things so they can have a full-time job,” he said, noting the ultimate goal is to have someone who can teach music in every school. But these challenges aren’t game-stoppers, and Erasmus said he is going to be in touch with the union to work together toward what he believes is a common goal. “The teachers are concerned about kids, they want the best for kids, we want the best for kids,” he said. “Some of the practicalities make it difficult.”

Photo rule affecting Nisga’a elections She was also surprised to learn that existing elected people who wanted to run again didn’t submit photos. “I don’t think it should be grounds for disqualification,” said Clayton. But she did say that in cases where people might have the same names or names with “Junior” and “Senior” in their names, that the idea of requiring photos to be used on ballots might be useful. Greenville council candidate Sylvia Stephens, who is running for a seat for the third time, said she felt bad because of the number of people who couldn’t run, rumoured to be as many as 42. “There were so many people who would have been good candidates,” said Stephens. She also felt that failure to submit a photograph should not be a reason to fail to be nominated. “There are just too many barriers. People should be assessed by their credibility and their leadership skills,” said Stephens. Stephens, who has a Bachelor of Arts from the University of

Northern British Columbia and who has volunteered her time as a social services advocate, has also started a Facebook page to carry opinions and views about the election. Ginger Gosnell-Myers, who is from New Aiyansh and is now living in Vancouver, sees the photograph issue as something that can reflect badly on the Nisga’a. “It’s so disappointing. Here we are 12 years into the treaty. It’s something we really fought hard for on the basis we can better govern ourselves,” said Gosnell-Myers. She said there should be no reason why Nisga’a election officials could not have contacted people who did file nomination papers without photos and told them of the new requirement. “This is something that is so small,” said Gosnell-Myers. As it is, GosnellMyers said the list of qualified candidates was released later than during previous election cycles, reducing the amount of time people can campaign leading up to general voting

day on Nov. 7. Advance polling takes place Oct. 31. Nisga’a national and local government elections have taken place every four years since the Nisga’a Final Agreement came into force in 2000. The local elections are to fill chief councillor seats and village

council seats in the four Nass Valley Nisga’a villages of Gingolx, Laxgalts’ap (Greenville), Gitwinksihlkw and Gitlaxt’aamiks (New Aiyansh). There are only two people officially nominated to run for village council in Gitwinksihlkw although there are four seats to be filled.

rent chairperson Kevin McKay is the only official candidate. Three people are running for president of the national Nisga’a Lisims Government. Incumbent Mitchell Stevens faces Eva Clayton and Charles Morven. Three people are running for treasurer of the Nisga’a Nation, one

of whom is incumbent Ed Wright. Two people from Nisga’a urban locals in Terrace, Vancouver and Prince Rupert are also to be elected. In Terrace, those two seats are to be filled by acclamation with just Martin Adams and Phyllis Adams being officially nominated.

Gov’t workers stage protest Terrace members of the Professional Employees Association (PEA) rallied last week to bring attention to ongoing contract negotiations with the provincial government. Union officials say members have been working without a contract since March 31 and that bargaining to date has proven unsuccessful. PEA members gathered in front of Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin’s office Oct. 16 to draw attention to negotiations that took place over the following days. “After two days of mediated bargaining the parties did not reach an agreement and that a further negotiation session with the mediator will take place

on Thursday, October 25th,” said Gail Campbell, local PEA union rep. The union is looking for wage increases for its members and it also wants an eye put on what officials say is a declining number of professionals employed by the province. There are about 2500 members of the union across B.C. and 21 members in Terrace — each is a professional employed by the province. Registered psychologists, licensed veterinarians, professional engineers and professional foresters are some of the titles that fall under the designation of professional worker. Workers haven’t seen wage increases in

four out of the last eight years, said Campbell, adding the PEA sees 3 per cent as a fair increase. “We’re concerned about the diminishment of our members,” said Campbell. “We’ve lost 10 per cent of our members in the last two years and 26 per cent in the last decade.” This can be attributed to a scale back in government workers and professional jobs increasingly being done by technicians, said Campbell. The difference between a professional and a technician is the level of training, she said, adding a professional designation requires more training than a technical one, often differentiated by

A small group of provincial government professionals, who are seeking a new contract, ralled in front of Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin’s office on Oct. 16. university degrees and college diplomas. “Registered Professional Foresters generally have a university degree and Registered

Forest Technicians generally have a Forest Technician Diploma,” she said. Local PEA member Kevin Derow works as

a tenures forester for the forest ministry here and says he’s noticed a decline in the number of professionals being employed by the provincial

government. He said many forest practices monitoring functions were turned over to the private sector in 2005.

GATEWAY perspectives

Going the distance to prevent spills

Here’s another thing I can tell you — there are no absolutes in life, and that also applies to the pipeline industry. With the Gateway pipeline, we have gone to incredible lengths — extensive geotechnical investigation, special pipe design, tunnels and deep burials — to avoid any possibility of a spill. At the end of the day, however, we can’t guarantee zero spills. No one can. That’s why we’ve also mapped out detailed contingency plans in the areas of preparation and response in the very unlikely event of a spill along the pipeline route. To start with, we announced in July that we will add nearly 100 remotely operated isolation valves along the Gateway twin pipelines, bringing the total to 264 — and we’re continuously updating their locations to ensure optimal placement. That means our control-centre operations staff, and remote pump station employees all

along the line, can shut down and isolate sections of the pipeline at the first hint of a possible leak. Because all our remote pump stations are also staffed 24/7, response to a potential spill will begin immediately. With response equipment stored at those pump stations, our manager of engineering Ray Doering tells me that at least half a dozen local operations staff, joined by additional personnel and local trained response contractors, would be mobilized and attempt to establish containment of any potential leak as soon as possible, based on accessibility.

Pipeline builder eyes route to the coast ONE of the many companies seeking to cash in on the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) billed itself as a provider of a fuel that’s both environmentally responsible and profitable during a massive telephone conference call held the night of Oct. 16. Spectra Energy staged what it called an “interactive townhall” to explain plans for a 48-inch diameter pipeline that would run approximately 850 kilometres from the northeastern B.C. gas fields to an LNG export plant at Prince Rupert. An exact route has yet to be determined, but company officials have said so far the pipeline would emerge from the northeast around the Cranberry Junction area north of Terrace and then through the Nass Valley region on its way to the coast. Spectra, a pipeline company with operations in Canada and the United States, would build and maintain the pipeline as part of a 50/50 partnership with the BG Group, an international company that would operate the Prince Rupert LNG plant and buy all of the gas the line could provide. Doug Bloom, in charge of Spectra’s western Canadian operations, said the company was seeking the opinions of people in the region about the best way to build the pipeline. But as much as Bloom said Spectra wanted to get the opin-

Doug Bloom ions of northerners, he was clear the company wanted to be part of a growing LNG export market to Asia, centering on China, Korea and Japan. Spectra views itself as being an “environmentally response energy source,” he said. And, in what might be taken as a reference to the provincial government’s dispute with Alberta about a share of the royalties from crude oil that would flow through the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline, Bloom said with a Spectra line, “with natural gas you can be sure B.C. will get its fair share.” Bloom responded to questions from those invited to be on the Spectra conference call. He told one person who questioned the export of gas and oil that B.C. has an abundance of natural gas. “We can be part of a more global solution to move away from higher carbon or dirty fuels to natural gas,” said Bloom. And Bloom did remind people that Spectra’s project develop-

ment was still in its early days. So far, Spectra says a pipeline would generate more than 4,000 jobs during the construction phase and 50 to 60 jobs afterward. The Spectra-BG pipeline and LNG plant is the second to be announced this year. Petronas, which is owned by the Malaysian government, also wants to build a pipeline to Prince Rupert and an LNG plant in the area. But that’s contingent upon the completion of a $5.2 billion deal to buy Progress Energy and the federal government late last week blocked the takeover, raising some doubts as to what might happen to the pipeline/ LNG plant plan. There are also three planned LNG projects at Kitimat, two of which would require pipelines – one in which Apache has a controlling stake and the other in which Shell is the dominant

player. A smaller project would use the existing but under utilized Pacific Northern Gas pipeline. As part of its plans, Spectra has opened an office in Terrace, employing two public relations people, one of whom is Graham Genge, formerly the executive director of the Kermodei Tourism Society. Spectra’s public relations team working on the pipeline project includes Evan Saugstad, who was the mayor of Chetwynd until he retired from civic politics last year. An estimated 75,000 automated phone calls were made asking people to join in on the conference call and approximately one-third of those called did respond. And of those who responded, approximately 1,700 took part in the question and answer session.

‘Speed readers’ increase school safety SPEED READER takes on a whole new meaning with the installation of devices designed to get drivers’ attention while going through local school zones. Two “speed reader” signs that detect a vehicle’s speed as it drives into a school zone and flashes it in bright LED lights if travelling over the speed limit have been put up in town. One of the 18” signs has been placed in the Ecole Mountainview school zone along Bailey St. on the bench and the second will be placed in the Suwilaawks school zone on Sparks St. soon. “These speed reader signs can hopefully assist drivers in refocusing on their driving and increase our school zone safety,” said Cpl. Mike Dame, officer in charge of the general investigation/drugs section and crime reduction unit of Terrace RCMP. Highway patrol officers had done research in local school zones and found the two top ones for speed violations were by Suwilaawks and Ecole Mountainview. “I myself know that when a parent is dropping children off at school, there are many dynamics occurring in the vehicle just prior to drop-off or pickup,” said Dame. “Parents are driving and asking their kids if they have their homework along with numerous other distractions of

are they dressed right for the weather etc.” “When it comes to kids’ safety, a distracted speeding driver can be a matter of life or death.” The money to pay for the signs came from a Civil Forfeiture Crime Remediation and Crime Prevention Funding Program grant for police training and equipment after Dane sent in an application. He received $10,000, which went to the purchase of two signs for about $7,500, he said. The remaining $2,500 was spent on a “covert piece of police equipment,” he said, declining to be more specific. Terrace RCMP has applied for grant money from civil forfeiture for two years now and has been given more than $32,000. In 2011, the grant money applied for, and received, bought a specialty thermal imaging camera for $22,031.52. The camera can measure disturbances in the ground, differences of heat in the ground, so police can search for possible burial sites, said Dame. It can also be used to look for missing people, he added. “It’s just a piece of the evidence,” he said. “It’s not used every day.” Five people have been trained to use the device and Terrace RCMP will be lending it to Kitimat and Nass Valley detachments, he

The camera can even be set to record mode so that video images can be used for court evidence, he said. It has a remote component, so it can be set up to film an area that might not be safe for officers so they can sit a short distance away and watch the screen, making it great for officer safety, said Dame. “We’re very lucky to

have one,” he said. “It’s usually just the biggest sections that get one.” The Civil Forfeiture Office has given out $8.5 million in grants for crime prevention and remediation and to victim compensation, said Tasha Schollen of the ministry of justice. In the last application period this past February, $5.5 million was available in grant money and the 350 applications received asked for $14 million. Ministry staff choose grant recipients based on criteria of whether

the project responds to an identified crime prevention issue, whether

the budget is reasonable, the involvement of other justice partners

and how the project’s success could be evaluated down the road.

Team excels at ‘olympics’ A LOCAL chef is part of the BC Aboriginal Culinary Team that took on the challenge of the World Culinary Olympics in Germany earlier this month. Samantha Nyce, who’s from the Nass Valley, teamed with three others from around the province for the competition. “They were so focussed on what they were doing, they worked so well together, they were very supportive of each other’s progress through the week. I am very proud to have been part of this event, with these young chefs. I am very optimistic for their future,” says Ben Genaille, former chef here and team coach about Nyce and the team. “Some of the group have been on a journey for five years for that moment.” Nyce was on the support team for the 2008 cu-

linary olympics along with Genaille and three others and has been working toward this competition since then. The team members started travelling to Vancouver Community College, where Genaille was working at that time, in December 2008 to train and took part in shows and competitions as preparation. The difference in this olympics is they were actually competing and not acting as support for a competing team. At this year’s event, the team worked very hard for three days, going into their showing day, said Genaille. The final “day” started at 7 a.m. with breakfast, and a meeting.

After that they moved to Prince Rupert to live with his grandmother. Sometime later they moved to Copper city - Terrace, B.C.. This was the Old Skinner Store site, but Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and family place was directly across the Skeena from there. It was the typical â&#x20AC;&#x153;TARPAPER SHACKâ&#x20AC;?. When John was of working age he went back to Prince Rupert, where he worked in the shipyard and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;round houseâ&#x20AC;? for C.N.R. He also worked for CN as Watchman. CN used to have work camps on rail-sidings; consisting of railcars. There was one at Wedeene River. When work crews went to town or worked miles from camp, John would watch the camp. He was a steady and good worker. He worked in the woods industry. His dad had a pair of work horses that they did horse logging with. He was a faller who worked with Frank Froese. He rafted logs down Kalum Lake, which was where he suffered a severe injury to his leg. He nearly lost it, and was off work about 1.5 yrs. It was Hud Fisher who said â&#x20AC;&#x153;John I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we can save your leg.â&#x20AC;? He cut and made railway ties, worked at several mills. Two of which were LH&K and Pohleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill on Kalum Lake Drive. This is where he met his first wife, and a daughter was born in 1944. In 1946 and 1947 he took flying lessons from C. Cooper. He logged in 17 hours. His granddaughter took up the same career and got her fixed wing and helicopter license. He worked for Dept. of Highways: snowplowing, driving truck and was positioned at Salvus during some winters. I believe John received a driving award, but he was hopping mad when ICBC rescinded his license at age 90 for a couple of fender benders. He thought that award should allow him to drive as long as he wanted! There were times when John had a good and kind heart to a fault. John had been in hospital off and on over part of the summer and early fall. Not getting around too well and confined to a wheelchair, made it impossible for him to return home, he was waiting for a place at Terraceview, when he unexpectedly passed away peacefully on Oct 2, 2012 at the hospital. He is survived by daughter, son-in-law, grandson, a great-granddaughter and www.spca.bc.ca granddaughter.

SPORTS TERRACE STANDARD

ANNA KILLEN

(250) 638-7283

She shoots, she scores

Girls hockey is the fastest growing team sport in Canada, and Terrace is seeing this first hand with more girls taking up hockey than ever before. Terrace Minor Hockey has 62 female players (more than any other northwest district) and a powerhouse Bantam girls rep team who are making their mark, winning games all over the area. But this is only a start and there could always be more, so a dedicated group of coaches and adults are working together to foster the sport’s growth, hoping to get more girls involved at a young age so they can rise through the ranks together. One way to do this is to host day-long workshops specifically for girls, so on Sunday, Oct. 14, an Esso Girls Hockey Day was held here at the Sportsplex. More than 40 girls between the ages of five and 12 turned out for on-ice instruction and drills followed by presentations and speeches from women and men with different experiences in hockey. Food was provided by Bert’s Deli, a big supporter of minor hockey here in Terrace, and Coca-Cola and All Seasons sponsored as well. One of the women who spoke and instructed on the ice was Angela Rabut. She didn’t start playing hockey until she was 21-years-old, because she “wasn’t allowed” when she was younger. But once she started, she didn’t look back, playing hockey in every town she’s lived in since and even winning gold with that first team. She finds it is a great way to connect not only with other women, but with her sons who play hockey too. “Girls playing hockey now is accepted which is great to see,” she said. “I never hear anything negative towards girls who play hockey – this would not have been the case when I was growing up.” Her message to the girls was “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” “I told the girls that every single one of them had the ability of “hard work” in them. In all things in life,” she said. She noted some of the girls that day had amazing puck

About 40 girls turned out to the Sportsplex here in Terrace on Oct. 14 for girls hockey day. Here’s instructor Scott Mulder coaching some of the players in a passing and shooting drill. handling and skating abilities for their age. One of the program’s organizers, Brad Andersen, who has two daughters in hockey, echoes Rabut’s praise of the girls’ skating abilities and hard work ethic. “I think overall, girls are better skaters. I don’t know if that’s because they pick it up faster. The skating is huge with the girls,” he said. The last time an Esso day like this was held here in Terrace was four or five years ago, he said. And one reason we have such a strong Bantam girls team now is because of that event, he said, crediting coach Mario Desjardins for putting it together and continuing his work with the players. The goal for the program now is to keep

the momentum every year, with an Esso day early in September (before registration) as well as weekly girls sessions, which will funnel more girls into the sport so there can be all-girls teams at every level. “You have to build one team and just keep carrying them on, that’s what our goal is,” he said. It’s important for girls to play co-ed, he said, but also important for them to have the opportunity to be immersed with other girls on the ice. “Some definitely like the challenge of playing with the boys, but I just think they can excel way more when they get on with just girls. It brings the competitiveness out in them more than when playing coed,” he said. “But I still want to see girls play coed, be-

cause it’s important to get on the ice as much as possible.” And there are many benefits for girls who play hockey, even beyond the normal benefits of playing team sports, said Andersen. “Girls have potential for scholarships now, that’s a huge avenue,” he said. “At the end of the day if you can get a scholarship paid for, or half paid for, through a sporting program, that’s huge.” The Canadian national team is also a possibility, although to date, there has never been a girl who has made the team from B.C. – most players are from Ontario and Alberta. “But now B.C.’s starting to come alive with girls hockey,” he said. “I can really see in the future we’re going to have someone from B.C.”

Biathlon hits its mark

Terrace Rod & Gun Club volunteer coaches/safety guys Bob Jenkins and Mike Graham with competitors Jonus Lecuyer, Levi Dame and Liam Tweedie.

A healthy pack of volunteers and a whack of keen participants helped the 3rd annual Terrace Rod and Gun Club Bike Biathlon ride steady on Saturday, Oct. 13. More than 30 competitors, and nearly as many volunteers, came out for the event, which saw competitors bike and shoot their way to the finish line at the Terrace Rod and Gun Club on Rifle Range Rd. “It went very well,” said organizer Chris Schooner. “We had a great number of volunteers – people just came out of the woodwork. And there were more competitors than we thought.” “A number of the competitors also filled in some of the needed jobs while others were racing,” he said. “An excellent showing of true sportsmanship.” The weather held up for the most part, as competitors raced the forest route, stopping in between laps to shoot at different levels of targets. Although, one heat did get hit

with “what we might call a monsoon,” said Schooner, who noted they had to drain the rifles afterwards. And with three coaches now trained, the Rod and Gun Club is starting its Biathlon Bears program this Saturday, Oct. 27 at 9:30 a.m. for ages 8 - 16. It is a program similar to Can-Ski or Can-Skate programs for youth to learn the sporting skills needed for biathlon. For more details, call 250-638-8270. Here are the top finishers: Midget Boys and Girls 10 years and younger: 1. Braden Clunas 2. Thomas Dame 3. William Edmond Recreational 25 m targets 11-13: 1. Liam Clunas 2. Chance Soden 3.

omehow I had it in my head that Premier Christy Clark had decreed there will be no more independent power projects (IPPs) in our fair province. But I must have dreamt it, for after scouring the internet I find no confirmation that Christy, who, we should not forget, was deputy premier under Gordon Campbell, has seen the error of her ways and repudiated these green power ops. With cabinet ministers racing down the anchor ropes of a liberal ship of state that is starting to look a lot like the Costa Concordia, the beleaguered Premier can use every bit of support she can get. Her recent anti-bullying initiative will doubtless win her some undecided votes, but will not persuade anyone who remembers that it was she and boss Campbell who led a jihad against teachers and social workers, thereby disaffecting the very people best positioned to do something meaningful in that area. Disavowing IPPs, on the other hand, besides being a declaration that she is willing to wear sack cloth and ashes for prior sins, could play well with voters ignorant about IPPs as well as voters who understand IPPs and are vehemently opposed them. The majority of folks in the hinterlands, like those who saw the destructive impact of the Ashlu project, fall in this category. Christy Clark, who owes her ascendancy

the first scandal spawned by the Liberals’ IPP initiative. Campbell and Clark’s credo is a stew consisting of misinterpretation of the theories of the great 18th Century moral philosopher, Adam Smith, and the ravings of the radical right wing economist Milton Friedman. Unfazed by the clear and present failures of trickle down economics, deregulation, and privatization (Wall Street Meltdown being the most recent example) Campbell and cronies sought to cripple BC Hydro and justify its privatization by passing legislation that forces the corporation to buy and use power at a loss from IPPs when it can use its own power for less. As a result of these shenanigans, the Crown Corporation now carries a $50 billion obligation to IPPs. This purposeful bankrupting of what was an enormously successful government corporation is the second scandal borne of the Liberals’ IPP scam. For the sake of argument, let us assume there were instances were it was acceptable to ruin wildlife habitat for economic gain, and that Dasque Creek was one of those. Let’s assume too that the project was a successful economic enterprise without the money BC Hydro is forced to pay to it. Even under these preposterous terms it would make no sense for a private Albertan company to reap the profits of the enterprise instead of BC Hydro.
