Library wants more money from city Terrace’s Public Library is asking for more money this year to maintain status quo operations. Its request to the city is $25,000 higher than last year, and is coming to council for discussion at a Dec. 4 budget meeting. The $482,000 city grant request is higher this year due to expected wage and benefits increases arising from upcoming contract negotiations for unionized workers, said the library’s treasurer David Try at a council meeting Nov. 13. “I cannot trim much without cutting into labour,” said Try, adding that while the library has received 3.9 per cent more money over the course of five years, inflation during that time has been 13 per cent. “I’m going to ask you, please don’t give us less.”

Library workers are represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) with contracts set to expire Dec. 31. For the last two-year contract, unionized library workers received a two per cent pay increase yearly, with last year’s wages plus inflationary costs being about $15,000 more. Try said another pay increase is being budgeted for 2013 although contract negotiations have yet to start. He says this year’s estimated increase falls in line with the city’s unionized employee wage increases for its CUPE contract at two per cent yearly over the last two years. “In many communities, the public library is simply the department of the city,” said Try, adding that the library board now is made up of volunteers and that without it, city

staff could be doing the job instead. “I would think that the contract that the city sets with their own employees would certainly guide the library board forward in terms of how we would do our negotiations.” For library negotiations to start, the last two-year CUPE contract will need to be “signed off” before a new one can be set, said Try. “I’d be happy to start bargaining right now with them,” he added. The library spends about 75 per cent of its total budget on wages, said Terrace’s head librarian Margo Schiller. The starting wage for a position at the library depends on the job.

Shames deal not finished

■■ In the classroom A new math program is gaining popularity in Terrace by using Socratic methods, promoting teacher and student engagement, and promising to help children enjoy math class from an early age. For a closer look inside one of the classrooms using the program, see Page 5.

A DEAL to sell the Shames Mountain ski facility remains in limbo pending a decision on how to treat debt owed the provincial government. And until there’s a resolution, the Shames Mountain Ski Corporation, which owns the facility, will more than likely renew a lease agreement with My Mountain Co-op, which wants to buy the operation. The two negotiated a sales deal last year but it has yet to be finalized because of debt owed the province. One portion of the debt amounts to nearly $420,000, which was borrowed by the ski corporation from the province years ago. A second portion amounts to $150,000 and represents unpaid chairlift royalties owned to the province. This amount was originally incurred by the ski corporation but was taken on by the co-op as part of the sales agreement. As one part of a purchase agreement signed Nov. 16 2011, the two outstanding debts owed to the provincial government

were to be satisfied before My Mountain Co-op could purchase the facility from the Shames Mountain Ski Corp. Those conditions were first hoped to be met by Dec. 15, 2011 for the deal’s closing date, but waiting on the province meant drafting a new lease deal so it could be run in the meantime and then extending that deal in April prior to this extension. While the process has moved along at glacial speed, co-op directors have not lost hope. “We’re very confident it will happen,” said co-op director Jamie Hahn about the mountain’s purchase. “We’re just waiting on the government administration side to complete its process.” Shames Ski Corp. president Gerry Martin said debt resolution has been slower moving than initially expected and that both local parties are waiting for the province to respond with a firm answer. “We’re trying to run it down now to find out why its taking so long,” said Martin.

Minerals North expects big turnout The city of Terrace will be donating space for a major mining conference coming here in April 2013. The Minerals North 2013 Conference will be hosted in partnership with Terrace’s Economic Development Authority and the city April 24 – 26. City council voted Nov. 13 in favour of waiving a $6,000 rental fee for use of the Sportsplex for the event. “When a group block books all of the facilities for multiple days, like the trade show or this Mineral North committee, a discounted rate applies,” said Carmen Didier, the city’s leisure services director, adding that rental

fee doesn’t include staffing, setup and other expenses. Such expenses will be covered by the conference, money for which comes from sponsorships and trade show fees.

“The spinoff is pretty outstanding,” said event sponsorship coordinator Carol Leclerc about the estimated 600 people that will be coming to town for Minerals North 2013 in April.

She noted that accommodations have already been foreseen as an issue. Rooms in private residences are being looked into for visitors and Ferry Island camping will be open.

The Minerals North Conference is an annual occurrence in northern B.C. aimed at bringing those interested in the mining and exploration industry together to share information with

communities and each other. The conference was hosted in Burns Lake this year and Terrace last held it here in 2007. Minerals North has hired the city’s economic development arm

as its event planners, with the Terrace Economic Development Authority set to receive $25,000 for its part, said TEDA economic development officer Evan van Dyk.

City to get a windfall of chairs The city of Terrace will inherit 150 chairs after a major mining conference is held here in 2013. For Minerals North 2013, expected to bring up to 600 people to Terrace next April, $4,500 in sponsorships has been collected to purchase enough chairs to host the event. The chairs, which the city will keep at the Sportsplex after the event, were picked as the focus of three $1,500 sponsorships by a conference committee after it discovered Terrace was lacking enough to host a major event. The chairs will be padded, said Carol Leclerc, who was been handling sponsorships for the event. “Not those hard plastic ones.”

Sale marks climb in subsidized housing The provincial crown agency responsible for subsidized housing has purchased an apartment building in downtown Terrace. The Mountainview Apartments located at 4501 Greig Ave. switched hands over the course of this summer, purchased by BC Housing for $590,000. While current tenants in the 11 onebedroom-unit building will not be evicted, as units become empty the plan is to move in people considered hard to house. BC Housing is working on an agreement with the Ksan House Society, a local social services agency, to handle that function. “It’s not a case of people just putting in applications, it’s a case of who needs it the most,” said Ksan executive director Carol Sabo, adding there will be a committee made up of several social service sector representatives to determine who can move into a unit. Tenants now pay between $500 and $650 a

month in rent but ones being moved in under the hard to house program will pay based on what they can afford, she said. BC Housing officials said they bought the building to preserve affordable housing in Terrace. Sabo said the challenge facing Ksan is managing and maintaining the building without revenue over and above what will be collected in rent. To keep rents rea-

sonable, she said money will be saved by putting cameras in the halls instead of having a caretaker live in the building and have monthly preventative maintenance walkthroughs to avoid more costly repair bills. The building will be used as somewhat of a stepping stone for clients currently living in apartments at Ksan’s homeless shelter on Hall St. among others. Those units are considered temporary housing while tenants

acquire skills leading to more independent living, said Sabo. “The apartments we had there were never intended to be forever, but there’s never been anywhere for these people to go,” said Sabo. “We see [the new apartments] as another step in the continuum.” Homelessness outreach coordinator with the Terrace and District Community Social Services Society Casey Eys agrees there is a big need for more sub-

sidized housing in Terrace. “Young single people that are on basic income assistance really have nowhere to go,” said Eys. Total income

PROFESSIONAL CLEANERS, Industrial Restoration, were hired to clean the gym after a fire extinguisher was set off inside the club. Half of the foam in this foam pit needs to be replaced.

...because we live here.

Vandals’ damage sucks money from gymnastics By ANNA KILLEN THE TERRACE Peaks Gymnastics Club wants to know who is responsible for a break-in and vandalism that took place at their gym during the early morning hours over the Remembrance Day long weekend and caused nearly $10,000 in damages. At around 2 a.m. Nov. 11, a person or persons broke into the back of the gym and set off one of the club’s fire extinguishers inside the building, said gymnastics head coach Ambra Marak. “The whole gym was filled up with foam, it was just filled with the stuff,” she said, of what the scene looked like when she arrived to assess the damage on Sunday morning. “We just want to know who did it.” There was a fundraising dance happening at the Thornhill Community Centre next door to the gym the night of the break-in. “Somebody has to know something,” she said, noting that there were bouncers at the event and people milling around out-

side near the doors to the club. The club had to cancel two birthday parties scheduled for that Sunday and shut down operations for more than a week while it assessed the damage. It is expected to be back up and running this week. Industrial cleaners spent three days cleaning up the foam, which settled into all of the nooks and crannies of the space, which features tumbling mats, climbing walls and ropes, a foam pit, balance beams, and a trampoline, amongst other gymnastics gear. The dry chemical powder in fire extinguishers is said to be non-toxic and people in the community offered to help clean up the room, but the club chose to use industrial cleaners to make sure it was cleaned thoroughly because so many children use the gym. The incident is expected to cost around $10,000, which includes replacing half of the foam in the foam pit and cleanup costs. When first on the scene, the club thought all of the mats might have to go.

But it’s since realized they are still usable, said Marak. The club’s insurance deductible is $1,000, and the non-profit organization doesn’t have that kind of money on hand, she said. “We fundraise all year just to keep the gym open and running,” she said, noting the club holds about five fundraisers a year. “So to have someone break in and do something as violating as that...” There are six employees who work at the club, and cancelling classes means losing a week’s worth of wages, said Marak. “It’s been a bit of a nightmare for all of the workers,” she said. And the five young athletes who are training for provincials had to travel to Kitimat three times last week in order to keep up with their training. “At this point to not train for a week is detrimental,” she said. The Terrace Forensic Identification Unit is assisting in the investigation and was at the scene early last week in the hopes of finding fingerprints or other physical evidence.

“I adore my relaxing Sunday morning drives, ...that’s why I insure my car through Western Financial Group.”

A new math program is on the rise in Canada, and Terrace schools are looking to find themselves ahead of the curve By Anna Killen

t’s a sunny, snowy Tuesday morning in Nancy Jay’s classroom at Cassie Hall Elementary here in Terrace. Twentysome kids, flanked by two assistants and their teacher come bursting into the room, fresh from PE in the gymnasium down the hall. It’s a split class, like nearly 40 per cent of the classrooms in the Coast Mountains School District, and like many classrooms across the province, these Grade 3s and 4s fall all across the learning spectrum. One way to check out the differences in these students is to observe how they’ve treated their red math duotangs, just coming out for the day’s one-hour lesson. The class has just started taking notes during math, called numeracy in teacher vernacular, so the notebooks are still a bit of a novelty and the kids seem genuinely excited to start the lesson. Many of the covers are splashed with big block letters spelling out “JUMP MATH,” while others have the title dead centre in small, neat print. It might be easy to assume that the kids with neater notebooks are naturally more inclined to excel in math—a subject that takes diligence, repetition and a rational mind. Maybe the kids who doodle all over their books are better off focussing on the arts or social studies, or something less concrete. But to divide the class into kids who might be good at math and kids who probably won’t be is a mistake—especially in the eyes of Dr. John Mighton, the creator of the math program those red duotangs are used for. Mighton is a playwright, a mathematician and the creator of the Jump Math curriculum, which is in at least 500 schools across B.C. In his experience, every child has the potential to excel at math. The program goes so far to advertise this belief in their name— the “Jump” stands for Junior Undiscovered Math Prodigies. Mighton started the not-for-profit program after his experience as a math tutor in Toronto. Before he became a tutor, he never considered himself good at math. But as he went over and over the material and taught it to kids, he says he started to deeply understand the method behind it all. In his understanding and ability to explain the concepts behind the problems, he saw success with the kids he tutored, and realized there might be a better way to teach math. He went back to school and eventually received his PhD in mathematics from the University of Toronto. From there, he and his team went about developing a new kind of curriculum, which was introduced in 1998 and has been used across Canada for about a decade. Nearly 86,000 students worldwide use the program, along with more than 2,000 parents and teachers—and it’s gaining traction here in B.C. as more teachers adopt the program, many of them using it at home with their own children first. In Terrace at Cassie Hall Elementary, every classroom from Grade 1-6 uses the program. Cassie Hall, along with Suwilaawks, Kitwanga, and a couple of other classrooms in the school district, is also involved with a UNBC study on Jump Math and its effectiveness, meaning Cassie Hall has been given a break on the cost of materials, which Cassie Hall principal Sheila Thorhaug says

If this program continues to take off, Cassie Hall and the other Terrace schools who use it will be well ahead of the curve. Results from a handful of other studies of the Jump Math method have been promising, especially some from inner-city schools in Britain, and Thorhaug is optimistic that her school will see similar results. “I really think we will,” she said, noting that she has spoken with principals who have seen their Foundation Skills Assessments results improve after adopting the program. The program is rooted in the idea that anyone can do math, and Mighton and his team press that by following the program you can take kids at every notch in the spectrum and raise them all to the top—and all without the students already in the upper percentile getting bored waiting for the others to catch up. Because in the Jump world, students don’t need to be geniuses to be a genius at math. They just need to take it step by tiny step. And once kids begin to “get” math (traditionally a hard or taboo subject) they’ll take that confidence and transfer it to other subjects. They’ll stop thinking about “surviving” math class, and enjoy the process of learning. Recently, Mighton told his story while hosting a series of workshops for Terrace and district area teachers and administrators at the R.E.M. Lee Theatre as part of a professional development day.

This is where he met Jay, who has been using the Jump Math curriculum in her classrooms for three years, and explained to her the value of introducing notebooks early. Mighton and his team recommend students start taking separate notes during math lessons as soon as possible to aid with comprehension (this isn’t standard in most math programs). They still use a standardized workbook, sometimes referred to as a “practice book”, but that comes at the end of the lesson. The math problems in the workbook are a way for the teacher to assess students’ progress and make sure they’ve understood the lesson—a near-daily mini quiz, if you will. And even though it’s only been a few days with the notebooks, Jay says she can notice a difference already. “They’re more engaged,” she says. “And they’re proud of their work.” Teachers are more engaged with the program too, she says, as the curriculum places a ton of emphasis on engaged teaching practices and veers away from just memorizing and repetition. “When I schedule math, I know I’m going to be ‘on’ for the whole hour,” she says. “Before, it would be repetition practice. The intro would have been very short, teach a concept, turn to page 45 and do questions one through nine.” But this program has Jay asking and fielding questions, explaining concepts, drawing charts and tables on the board for the majority of the one hour lesson. It’s a process

called “guided discovery”, and a lesson is described by Jump like this: “the teacher asks a series of Socratic questions and gives students incrementally harder challenges and activities, with immediate assessment and feedback.” The program’s teaching guide is designed to be followed like a script, and the program’s facilitators insist that the teaching process is just as, if not more, important than the workbooks and assessments. They charge that teachers can literally read the script word for word and see results. “Children are constantly engaged and participating,” says Liz Barrett, Jump Math’s B.C. coordinator. She trains teachers to use the program in their classrooms, and helps link administrators with teaching materials, many of them readily available online. “Young children want to be part of a group,” she says. “There’s an energy that comes from shining in front of your peers.” She presses that this classroom engagement empowers the children, which in turn empowers the teacher. “The teaching of math becomes a priority,” she says. But the program is not without its challenges, perhaps the main one being the change in general. “Anytime you start a new program, it’s a lot of work,” says Jay, noting she’s been teaching math for 20 years and has been through a few different curriculums. But she especially likes the way this program works in split classrooms. “It gets easier,” she says. “And as educators we have to be open to trying new programs.” Cassie Hall principal Thorhaug also concedes that change can be difficult, but she says that once teachers understand how to use the program and follow the guidelines, especially the teaching guides, they get on board. “I think something that Liz (Barrett) and John (Mighton) have really tried to do is emphasize how important it is to use the teacher guide and do the teaching that’s been recommended instead of just assigning pages,” she said. “That’s kind of a new concept for people. The program’s set up totally different and the teaching is the key component,” she says. In the classroom, the one-hour lesson flies by in a flurry of raised hands, precocious questions, and Jay’s voice saying more than once, “Great. Now let’s try something harder.” It ends with 15 minutes of quiet workbook time, where Jay and her assistants circle the room, crouching down to help students with questions. Next, Jay asks the children to return their desks back to their proper positions (she’s started getting them to separate their desks at the beginning of math class, on the advice of Mighton). “And why do we move our desks apart?” she asks the class. “So that we don’t bug other people and so that we pay attention to our teacher and not the people beside us,” comes the answer from a boy at the back of the room. “Right,” says Jay. “And what did we study today in numeracy? What did we learn?” And hands go up around the room.

EDITORIAL

Art? Soft streaks of orange and red heed warning to sailors in a water colour rendition of a coastal morning sky. An off-white kermode bear stands in stark contrast to a backdrop of blue-green trees, depicted with oil paint brushed atop stretched canvas. In both of the above scenarios, there is no doubt the creators of such imagery were artists — a title that conjures adjectives like visionary, imaginative, possibly whimsical and in other cases deep, or dark. But a contemporary artistic subculture that sees creative vision flow through the tips of spray-paint cans, often onto a piece of outdoor property that belongs to another, conjures a different kind of adjective not applied to artists who use more traditional media. Criminal. And graffiti has a bad rap for good reason. It can costs thousands in cleanup costs for the non-consensual new owners of such works. So while a Terrace-based artist had his heart in the right place by asking the city in late October to designate an outdoor wall to be used by graffiti artists legally, councillors were right to respond with the question — is graffiti really art? The simple answer is, no. If creativity becomes an unwelcome liability to another, or society, it is an act of vandalism. And a look at the graffiti project on the old Co-op building shows that even if such expression is sprayed legally, public associations with its imagery are generally unfavourable.

What would you do with $25 million?

W

hat must it feel like to win a $25 million Lotto draw as Bob Erb did last week? Once the stunned realization sinks in, do you feel elated? Giddy? Apprehensive? Never having won anything in my life, I have no yardstick. Do most winners have a wish list they can turn to when luck treats them kindly? What that wish list contains would say a lot about the winner. Does the list include helping family with tuition or mortgage costs? A winter vacation to Belize? A mansion to rival Celine’s? Maybe a gas range with burners that light without a match? Judging by media reports of others’ experiences following a sizeable lottery win, this could be the beginning of months of bombardment as everyone within reach whether by person, mail, phone or internet begs to share a chunk of his winnings. Oprah — she of multiple millions from her regular work — advised lottery winners to hire an accountant, and a legal advisor to field requests while keeping the winner aloof. “Otherwise,” she said, “a winner can be

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI hounded until the money becomes a misery.” When tackled personally for a “gift”, Oprah’s stalling tactic is to say, “Let me pray on it before deciding.” But what of the winner who is a stranger to sums larger than a weekly pay cheque who nevertheless opts to go it alone? If a person has never kept track of any amount larger, would they be able to bookkeep so they know how much they’ve spent, how much remains, and apply the brakes before they end up as poor – in some cases, poorer – than they were before becoming a millionaire?

I have never met Erb, but those who know him describe him as a worthy recipient. A delicatessen clerk in a convenience store where Erb frequently bought coffee or a sandwich recalls him as friendly, polite, courteous to store staff, a teller of jokes acceptable in any company. A former Terrace Standard reporter who covered local elections posted on Facebook, “I knew Erb when he ran as a Marijuana Party candidate in Terrace. Made for interesting campaigns.” Terrace co-worker Jordan Smoley told the CBC , “The winnings couldn’t come to a nicer guy. He’s a really friendly, outgoing guy and he always volunteers at the homeless shelter, and he is a contributing member of the community and , yeah, just a really good guy.” In another interview, 60-year-old Erb said he plans to continue working in his construction trade. I think this is a sensible tack. The more he can maintain his normal life style, the smoother his future should be as he copes with pressure from his hundreds of new best friends all holding their hands out.

THROUGH BIFOCALS

Like the lottery winner in the Yukon who lived in what resembled a salvage yard, who bought new trucks for friends and otherwise lived large. In no time he was destitute. My first question would be, did the bank of Erb’s choice demand any special proof before they accepted his winning cheque for deposit? (I’m assuming Erb would deposit the money, not carry the cheque in his wallet until the creases cut through.) I pose this question in light of recent media reports some B.C. banks have refused to honour legal powers of attorney, thus leaving seniors unable to buy replacement glasses and other necessities with their own funds. While I understand and appreciate banks efforts to protect vulnerable seniors from scams, or elder abuse by unscrupulous relatives aiming to fleece them of their money, in some cases B.C. banks have gone too far. One bank even required the aged senior to appear at their wicket in person before they would release funds from her account. She was in a wheelchair, in excruciating pain and general poor health.

VIEWPOINTS

The Mail Bag Look who’s talking green... Dear Sir: Enbridge and the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce are to be congratulated for their outstanding cynicism in the presentation of the Business Excellence “Green Award.” For Enbridge to sponsor the award and for the Chamber to nominate Lakelse Watershed, SkeenaWild, and Urban Colour demonstrates the ostentatious complicity in obfuscation that is the hallmark of greenwash duplicity. Enbridge and the Chamber deserve scathing praise

for unconscionably boosting the profile of the environment with stupendous equivocation on the definition of “green” itself. Those not nominated are surely so green with either envy or sickness that strenuous sycophancy will pollute their quest for next year’s ludicrous honour. Regardless, the nominees this year deserve all the sympathy and horror that such selection warrants. Kudos! Dr. David Heinimann Terrace, B.C.

the costs involved. At the moment, our federal government is selling some oil property to the Chinese, leaving one anchor on a news channel to ask: “Can another country come in here and nationalize our resources?”

Yes they can, according to the Barlow warning. A few years later I was talking to Geri Edgel, a former resident of Terrace, who had moved to Rocky Mountain House.

Resource exploitation just getting worse Dear Sir: Some years ago when I was in Gerry King’s antipoverty office I spotted a bundle of newsletters from Maude Barlow’s Council of Canadians. With permission I borrowed some and read them with

interest. One article in particular caught my eye and I remember it quite well, especially in recent days. It said that member states of the World Trade Organization [WTO] can go into any member state, ex-

ploit the resources with no attention to local [environmental] laws, no hiring of local workers, and essentially leave whatever mess they made while extracting said nation’s resources. It would also leave the local taxpayers to pick up

Separating myth from political reality in B.C.

M

yths are powerful things, especially when they feature forces of good (“free enterprise”) and evil (“socialists”), and evoke heroes (BC Liberals), villains (BC Conservatives) and monsters (NDP). Great myths derive their greatest power from their retelling, to the point where lore is accepted as “truth,” half-truths are accepted as fact, and reality approximates fiction. Such is the main myth of B.C. politics, which warrants new questioning and inspection. As explained by the Globe & Mail’s Justine Hunter and Ian Bailey, “The right-wing forces stick together, usually, because British Columbia is by and large a province divided into only two political faiths, with the NDP or its predecessor, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, on one side and some type of center-right coalition on the other. When the coalition splits, the NDP wins.” Gary Mason’s summary of Premier Clark’s convention pitch echoed that argument: “Any time there is a fracture in the so-called free enterprise coalition in B.C., the NDP wins...” Not quite true. In eight of the Social Credit Party’s 11 wins, Liberals were also elected. In four of those cases, so were Conservatives. Of the last 30 elections in British Columbia, 27 have resulted in “free enterprise”

governments and 25 of them elected representatives from at least three parties, and/or independents. In 12 elections, four or more parties won seats, not including independents. In three instances, five or more parties elected MLAs. Since W.A.C. Bennett’s time, the BC Liberal Party was the biggest vote-splitter of them all, typically taking about 20 per cent of the vote up until 1972, without depriving the Socreds of their consecutive majority governments. The real reason the Socreds lost so badly in 1972 was not just that there were other parties; it was that the Socreds’ support plummeted to 31 per cent, even as the BC Liberals’ support also fell to its lowest level in B.C. history, while the NDP increased its vote to record levels. Similarly, the reason the NDP was annihilated in 2001 with only 21.5 per cent support was not just that the Green Party took 12.4 of the vote; it was that Gordon Campbell’s Liberals earned 57.6 per cent of all votes, thanks to many former NDP supporters who abandoned that party. When the Socreds lost in 1991, it was because their support fell to 24 per cent – a level that is eerily close to where the BC Liberals stand today. Were it not for Gordon Wilson’s vote-splitting Liberals, who formed a large and strong opposition, the NDP’s majority would have been even larger.

g u e s t c o mm e n t

MARTYN BROWN Even in the 1996 election that the NDP won with less of the popular vote than the BC Liberals, free enterprise vote-splitting is, at best, a partial answer. If the BC Liberals had earned another 3,340 combined votes in 1996 in Burnaby North, Burnaby-Willingdon, Cariboo South, Kootenay, Saanich South and Vancouver-Fraserview, they would have won the election with six more seats than the NDP If Campbell’s party had only won two of those six seats, with an extra 704 total votes there would have been a minority BC Liberal government. Organization matters. The reason the NDP now enjoys some 46-49 per cent support

is not just because the BC Conservatives are “siphoning off” votes from the BC Liberals, or that the Green Party is attracting its own share of support. It is that more voters than ever are prepared to vote for the NDP, including more than a handful “free enterprisers.” It is because the old “free enterprise versus socialist” dichotomy is itself an aging myth that is not wearing well with younger voters or in the modern Canadian liberal context. That entire ideological ethos is largely a false distinction that died with the Cold War and that is increasingly less relevant in driving voter choice. The fact is, if the Green Party does not run a full slate of candidates in 2013, which seems likely, the NDP’s voting universe will suddenly reach well beyond the 50 per cent mark that “free enterprisers” claim to own as their birthright. A majority beats a minority every time. The BC Liberals’ main challenge is to win back votes from the NDP as well as from the other parties, including the Conservatives and Greens. The only reason the Clark government’s fortunes look so dire at present is because it has driven voters away to other parties across the political spectrum that has cut its support coalition in half. What history mainly shows is that no governing party can win re-election with only 21 or 24 or 31 per cent support – es-

pecially if any competitor enjoys the support of close to an absolute majority of decided voters. The main reason why even more voters are not now “parked” with the BC Conservatives is not because of fear of the NDP. It is because Mr. Cummins’ party has revealed itself as a marginal force that is still not ready for primetime. It has alienated more voters than it has attracted with weak leadership, extremist tendencies and internal factionalism. Many of those traditionally conservativeleaning voters will “hold their nose” and vote for the NDP unless they are given new positive reason to return to the BC Liberal fold. Myths are made to be reinvented. The real evil we do is to vilify agents of political choice and to vote in fear of ideological “monsters” largely of our own making; it is in not demanding better of our political leaders and in allowing our actions to be dictated by negative options more than by positive visions and platforms in which we can honestly believe and trust.

Telephone town hall “just HOLIDAY the first step,” says Spectra GIFT IDEAS Dear Sir: Spectra Energy has been operating in British Columbia for 55 years. We are the natural gas company that provides the backbone of B.C.’s natural gas industry. With more than enough natural gas in B.C. for our domestic needs, we are proposing a new natural gas system from the Cypress area of northeast B.C. to Prince Rupert. This natural gas would then be shipped to new markets in Asia, replacing less environmentally-sound coal and nuclear power generation. Here at home, this will create thousands of jobs and revenue for local communities and government. We want to assure everyone this line will be a maximum of 48 inches in diameter. And, it will be built to transport natu-

ral gas – and only natural gas – to a liquefaction plant at Prince Rupert. Spectra Energy has a longstanding history of investment, involvement and engagement in the communities where we live and work, and in our province. We believe in listening and incorporating local ideas and addressing concerns, and this conversation is just beginning. To kick things off, on October 16 we held a telephone town hall – just the first step in our planned consultations for this project. More than 65,000 households from northern B.C. were invited to join and we are proud to say we had nearly 12,000 British Columbians listening and asking questions. That week, we also met with some of the Aboriginal

communities, mayors, business, and community leaders in towns across the proposed route. But, again, these activities were just a first step in this conversation. To keep the conversation going, we will be employing tools like public outreach forums, one-to-one meetings, community open houses, written correspondence, telephone town halls, and digital media. Our goal is to determine, together, how we can take advantage of the new opportunities growing from natural gas in a way that is beneficial for everyone. Currently we are working to determine the process for an extensive environmental assessment process, which will provide multiple opportunities for communities, local govern-

ments, the general public and other interested stakeholders to comment and participate in the review. It will also provide for an in-depth consultation process with Aboriginal groups. We’ve already begun collecting input and ideas, and we’re committed to continue that work. If any time you are unsure about the facts of our proposed project, we want to hear from you directly. You can contact our Terrace-based Community Coordinators, Graham Genge and Kristen Rock at 250-635-0618, or you can join our conversation about this project at www. energyforbc.ca, or by calling us toll free at 1-855-757-4755.

From November 15 to April 01 Under Bylaw No. 1331-1993, every street, boulevard, alley and highway in the City of Terrace is designated as a snow removal route, and parking on them is prohibited during the winter months, from November 15th to April 1st. Any vehicle that impedes snow removal and/or road maintenance work on any snow removal route may be towed. Plowing in residential areas can occur at any time of the day or night. Snow clearing operations in the downtown area are typically carried out between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. In addition, it is illegal for anyone to place ice or snow from any private property, parking lot or entrance way, on to City right-of-way as it impedes traffic, creates drainage problems, buries fire hydrants, and interferes with routine snow plowing. Under this bylaw, you may be fined for doing so.

Summit piques interest; drives flying fish home need to be competitive

... cooking, living, giving

By LAUREN BENN

BIG DOLLARS in the headlines and job numbers listed for proposed projects in B.C.’s natural gas sector are no sure thing. And as global competition heats up, a unified sense of urgency is needed if British Columbians want to turn such opportunities into bona fide sources of economic prosperity, echoed two keynote speakers at the 2012 Energy Summit held at Terrace’s Best Western Hotel Nov. 16. Representatives from both the provincial government and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) shared a clear message: Asian markets look inviting to Canadian natural gas resources, but we’re not the only player vying for opportunities. Technology that enables the extraction of natural gas from rock formation means global supply is shifting and B.C. is in a race with

countries like Australia, Qatar and the United States to export Liquefied Natural Gas. “In this case, we have competitors that are in front of us,” said Geoff Morrison, manager of CAPP’s B.C. operations. “(And) in this case ... opportunities won’t be back.” The opportunities he speaks of are not only with Japan and South Korea, where demand for natural gas is currently highest, but in China and India, where demand growth is forecast to be the highest in coming years. “If we can develop and compete in these eastern markets then we have a lot to offer,” he said, adding that the International Energy Statistics Agency (IEA) is predicting global demand for energy to increase 40 percent by 2035. But Canada is third from the top in terms of natural gas reserves, and sixth from the top for production, said

Morrison. And the ability to extract natural gas from shale formations using high pressure water fracking is changing the face of production in not only North America, but the world. Resulting from this technique, Canada’s number one customer, the United States, now has access to gas reserves which will enable it to become energy self-sufficient by 2035, according to a release by IEA Nov. 12. Now, 9 billion of about 14.25 billion cubic feet of natural gas is shipped to the United States yearly. “We actually see a trend down in exports of natural gas about 15 per cent,” said Morrison. “Our largest customer is also the largest producer.” The U.S. is expected to be a net exporter of gas by 2020, according to the IEA report. With an industry that’s contributed about $1 billion yearly to Canada’s treasury, and a list of proposed lique-

fied natural gas projects touching the northwest touting expenditures around the $10 billion mark, staying competi-

Record October flights KEEPING WITH this year’s trend, the number of passengers at the Northwest Regional Airport continued to break records, with October 2012 being the second highest month in recorded history and easily the busiest October on record. “Usually October is on its way down,” said airport manager Car-

man Hendry. October 2012 saw 13,086 passengers come through the airport. That’s 383 more than September 2012 and 1,617 more than October of last year. The highest month on record was August of this year. with 13,808 passengers. “For a fiscal year it equals a 15 per cent

increase over last year, and for calendar year its 16 per cent,” he said. The fiscal year ends March 31. “We’re five to six months into the fiscal year and 15 per cent ahead of the game,” he said. Airlines are keeping up with the demand, said Hendry, noting that Air Canada has three flights a day for the first time in a long time, and Hawkair is also seeing three departures a day, both seven days a week. “Usually the Saturdays have been one flight for Hawkair, two for Air Canada,” he said. And Central Moun-

“This should have been done a long time ago but it has been caught up in government bureaucracy,” said Martin. “I guess it just hasn’t been a priority for them like it is for us.” It might not be a priority right now, but provincial talks have sounded good, said Hahn. “Everyone supports this, everyone’s optimistic that this will happen, we’re just waiting for the administrative wheels to get moving,” he said. “As far as we’re concerned, it’s business as usual and we’re continuing to invest in the mountain.”

tain Air flies six times a week, adding to the total number of flights, which is around 50 per week according to the airport’s online schedule. The flight schedule this fall is equal to a summer flight schedule, he said. “We’ve never had this busy a flight schedule,” he said. “The majority of the increase of traffic is due to the construction, investment in the neighbourhood and possibly a little bit more disposable income for the existing residents,” he said. “There seems to be a lot more business travel.”

Recycle your batteries with Call2Recycle ®

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.

Call2Recycle provides an eco-friendly way to recycle batteries (weighing up to 5 kg) and cellphones. ®

Use of force expert in brain injury case named IN ITS decision to not press charges against the officers involved in the arrest and detainment of a man who suffered a brain injury in RCMP cells here, the provincial Criminal Justice Branch partly relied on a use of force expert who it described as “equivocal” with his conclusions. That’s the word from the BC Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) and the Union of BC Indian Chiefs responding to the justice branch saying its use of force expert was

Vancouver Police sergeant Brad Fawcett, who gave the use of force report that cleared the four RCMP officers who tasered Robert Dziekanski at the Vancouver Airport in 2007. In his final report on Dziekanski’s death, commissioner Braidwood said that Fawcett’s expert report was “blinkered” and that if Fawcett’s understanding of use of force was consistent with B.C. police training it “troubles me greatly,” said the BCCLA in a release last week.

The BCCLA says it and the Union of BC Indian Chiefs will continue to push for the release of the investigation report into the Wright matter, including the use of force report, “additional information” it says was provided to Crown by Fawcett and the video, audio and any other records of the incident. On Nov. 2, the justice branch released a report it said was its clear statement on why it didn’t lay charges against the officers who dealt with Robert Wright here after he was

arrested for drunk driving this past April. Wright, who was taken to hospital here three times during the night he was in custody before being flown to Vancouver, suffered a brain injury that has left him needing full-time care from his wife. The BCCLA and Union of BC Indian Chiefs responded to the report by calling for the release of all the information that government lawyers used in deciding whether to lay charges.

Please city, may I have some more: library For example, in 2012 a student who shelves books would receive $10.61 an hour to start, while a library assistant would receive $18.80. The facility has 15 unionized staff, two nonunionized management positions, and a volunteer board of directors. When asking for an increase for 2012 during this spring’s budget talks, the library said it would have to shut its doors for two weeks to keep up with staff pay increases should it not see one. This did not happen as Terrace city council agreed to up its operating grant nearly $15,000. For the city, the library represents the biggest cost for a service paid, one which the Regional District of Kitimat Stikine also pays at roughly a 70 – 30 split. Last year, the entire operating grant received by the library from the two municipal governments was $557,490. As the library cannot charge for its base services or access into its building, its income generating abilities are limited. With that said, Schiller said the library fundraised $100,000 in 2012. “Last year we heard from council that we had to put more efforts into fundraising,” said Schiller. “We listened.” On average, the library sees 371 visits each day, 2,450 weekly, 10,650 monthly and 128,000 yearly. This doesn’t include visits to its web resources, which clock in at another 92,580 yearly.

GATEWAY perspectives

Spill response plan

Although statistics and reports suggest a marine oil spill is unlikely, you want to know — what if one does occur? How will Gateway be prepared? While the chances are slim, we continue to develop a world-class marine response program. The Northern Gateway Project includes a spill response capacity that’s more than three times the Canadian regulation. And while the Canadian requirement for oil spill response is 72 hours plus travel time, our response time will be a fraction of that number — 6 to 12 hours in the marine channels. This is a significant increase to the response capability available to B.C.’s north coast. Additionally, for immediate response, our tug escorts will be

equipped with booms, oil skimmers, and firefighting equipment to provide enhanced initial containment, and they will be available to all marine traffic in the event of an incident.

We will store equipment, such as containment and absorbent booms, skimmers, and waste storage, in multiple well-maintained, readily accessible response bases, providing a wider area of coverage in a shorter amount of time. Barges will also be located throughout the marine channels for additional storage and equipment mobilization. We are committed to having staff, contractors, and partners in place to maintain that enhanced state of readiness.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been talking about the precautions, the safety measures, and the selection criteria involved in the marine elements of the Gateway project — all of them intended to prevent an oil spill on water. I’ve also mentioned, in recent weeks, how Gateway’s marine safety program was examined by an independent risk-assessment group, which determined that the chances of a major spill are once in more than 15,000 years.

Library turns new page on accessibility By MARGARET SPEIRS SOON EVERYONE will be able to see the art gallery in the library basement as a new elevator is set to be installed. The elevator, which head librarian Margo Schiller said has been asking for for a long time, will be put next to the meeting room where a display cabinet is now; the cabinet will be removed. “It’s something the community talked about and certainly the library talked about,” said Schiller. “Some people can’t get down there [to the art gallery] right now at all.” It will be a smaller elevator to fit in the space and will cost $50,000, which comes from a grant from the Government of Canada’s Enabling Accessibility Fund and is the maximum amount that can be requested, said Schiller. The rest of the cost, $70,000, came from the city, which also includes the cost of a new washroom that will be

built, she said. City workers began the project about a month ago and Schiller said according to the terms of the grant, it has to be done by March 2013. Library visitors will still he able to get to the art gallery during the installation, except for one week when the stairs will be rotated, which is a requirement for the project, she said. Right now, when people go down the stairs to the art gallery, they end up facing the wall, but after the stairs are altered, they will be looking into the gallery when they get to the basement, said Schiller. The bathroom and elevator installation are being done now because that’s when the money was available. “We’ve been keeping an eye out for grants and this came up and we went for it,” said Schiller, adding the city gave the library a lot of support in getting the grant. “It was a real joint effort to get it done.”

THREE PEOPLE received letters of appreciation for rescuing a couple in Stewart when the couple’s cabin and shed were on fire. Here they are: Gene Storey, Christine Storey and Mary Jane McKay, who accepted on behalf of her husband. Behind them is BC RCMP Commanding Officer Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens who presented the awards.

RCMP honours three Stewart residents THREE STEWART residents received commendations at an RCMP awards ceremony for saving the lives of a couple whose cabin and shed were on fire in January 2010. The heroic efforts of Christine Storey, Gene Storey, and their brother-in-law, Robert McKay were recognized with a Commanding Officer’s Let-

ter of Appreciation at the ceremony that saw more than 100 RCMP officers, civilian employees and auxiliary constables from the North District given awards of distinction Nov. 7 in Prince George. On a January 2010 morning, Christine Storey saw flames coming from a neighboring cabin on Meziadin

Lake, a resort community 70 km west of Stewart, and told her husband Gene. Gene forced his way past the burning shed and into the cabin where he woke the sleeping couple from their bed. While the husband was being helped out, Robert McKay assisted in rescuing the wife

and helping her to safety as the cabin became engulfed in flames. Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens was on hand to present the medals and awards, which included Diamond Jubilee Medals, commissioned to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Anniversary.

THE PLAYERS in the annual Guns and Hoses charity hockey game between Terrace RCMP officers and City of Terrace firefighters take time out to pose together.

Guns and Hoses raise $6,500 LOCAL POLICE officers won the fourth annual Guns and Hoses charity hockey game, and helped raise about $6,500 for Jumpstart recently. Terrace RCMP beat the Terrace Fire Department 5-2 on November 9, taking back the title they lost last year. “This is the second year that I’ve

played in the Guns N’ Hoses game. It is for a great cause. Jumpstart is equipping kids for life, because participation in organized sport and recreation increases a child’s chance for success in life, “ says Inspector Dana Hart, Officer in Charge Terrace RCMP Detachment. “The members of Terrace Detachment

had a great time, and it was a bonus to get our title back this year!” All proceeds are donated to Jumpstart, a charitable program created by Canadian Tire that helps financially disadvantaged kids participate in organized sport and recreation by covering registration, equipment and/or transportation costs.

Terrace schools are Northwest champs Volleyball Season is winding down and Terrace schools were winning all over the northwest at the northwest zones over the Remembrance Day weekend. Here in Terrace, Skeena Middle School and Centennial Christian School co-hosted the Grade 8 Boys Volleyball Northwest Zone Championship at Skeena Middle School on Nov. 10 with five schools competing. Centennial Christian went undefeated in the round robin with a 4-0 record and met BVCS in the final with a 3-1 record. The team defeated BVCS in two straight sets, 25-12 and 25-21, to claim gold as the zone champions. Skeena finished the tournament 1-3. Evan Veldman from Centennial Christian was named the tournament MVP and all-star awards went to Rudy Vandenberg from BVCS, Lucas Mantel from Centennial Christian, Dylan King from Skeena Middle School, Daryl deVries from Ebenezer and JakRamos from Smithers Secondary. Meanwhile, in Prince Rupert, the Skeena Middle School Wildcats took the top spot at the Grade 8 Girls Volleyball Northwest Zone Championship at Prince Rupert Middle School. The Wildcats won all their games in two straight sets in the round robin, sending them into the semi-finals to meet up against Prince Rupert.

The Grade 8 Centennial Christian School Seahawks at the very moment they realized they’d won the tournament on Nov. 10. “Prince Rupert didn’t make it easy for our girls,” said coach Kam Siemens. But the team ultimately came out victorious, meaning it would meet up with Mount Elizabeth in the finals. “As expected the intensity of

game plan on both sides was high,” said Siemens, noting they focussed on taking calculated risks and playing smart at the net. “The unwavering display of teamwork and encouragement from the bench didn’t go unnoticed or unheard.”

“In a pre-game talk with the girls, we stressed the importance of mindset,” said Siemens. “A combination of consistent serving, difficult digs and the ability to set the ball created some great spikes that were a challenge for our opponents

to return.” At the awards ceremony, Ally Moldenhauer was named an All Star and Correina McNeice was named MVP. And in Kitimat at Mount Elizabeth, the Caledonia Jr. Girls team won the Jr. A Girls Volleyball Zone finals that same weekend. After defeating Charles Hays from Prince Rupert 2-0 on the first night, it was a tight game against Smithers that also went 2-0. The next day they squeaked by the home team of MESS, but beat BVCS in both sets, sending Cal to the top pool final against MESS, which they won in a very exciting third match with a score of 17-15. All Star selections from Cal were Catherine Albert and Jill Green. But that’s not all. The Skeena’s Grade 9 Girls Volleyball team travelled by train to Houston to participate in its final zone tournament. The team didn’t lose a set in the entire tournament, becoming the zone champs. The two-day tournament saw Skeena meet up with Houston Secondary School, Hazelton, Smithers Secondary, and Ebenezer Christian Reformed School. Skeena’s road to the top wasn’t easy, with a handful of tight matches (and some blow outs as well), but the team didn’t let the pressure get to them, said coach Frank Marrelli.

To say that the hard luck River Kings will be in tough is a bit of an understatement. The River Kings have been competitive in every game this season yet have been unfortunate not to pick up at least a couple more wins. As a result they are near the bottom of the CIHL standings, badly needing some wins. A couple of victories this weekend would go a long ways to improving their playoff chances. The River Kings had mixed results on their recent November road trip. They blew a 3-0 lead in Vanderhoof, losing 5-3 to the lowly Omineca Ice. That loss hurts as the Kings can not afford to lose to the lower seeded teams. That lesson was heeded the next day as the boys travelled to Houston and convincingly beat the Luckies 5-1.

essentially volunteering their time in a very competitive league. There is no financial incentive for them, and injuries are always a very real possibility. And unlike the National Hockey League, these guys have to go their real jobs on Monday morning. To watch anyone get hurt, especially under questionable circumstances like Murray, is tough to see. These guys play for the love of the game. Every freshly cleaned sheet of ice is like a blank canvas. With every cut of their skates and slaps of their sticks these players keep painting their hockey dreams, providing entertainment for the fans. This is where hockey really lives. The National Hockey League with all their greedy players and lockout hungry owners can not possibly match the true love of the game that can be found at local arenas all across Canada. The River Kings are overdue for a couple of bounces to go their way, and with it a couple of wins. Perhaps this weekend is the start of the River Kings turnaround.

The teams’ coaches all expressed their gratitude to the parents, assistant coaches and volunteers involved with the teams who helped make it possible. And “all of the players for their strong effort and belief in the importance of spirit and play,” added Marrelli.

hough rods built of greenheart continued to be manufactured – the legendary British manufacturer, the House of Hardy, continued to build greenheart poles until the mid 1970s – split cane continued to be the material of choice for fly rods through the early part of the 20th century. The idea that glass fibres might be spun into a new, miraculous material was first run up the flag pole in the early years of the 20th century, but it was not until forty years later that a military researcher by the name of Howland unknowingly took the first step in a revolutionary process that changed the way that the vast majority of fly rods would be manufactured. After breaking a section of his favourite bamboo rod, it occurred to Dr. Howland that a fibreglass tube, an item that existed in abundance at that time thanks to its usefulness in industrial settings, might be the ideal thing to repair his injured rod. Howland’s glass fibre Band-Aid must have worked well, for in no time at all word had spread on the angler telegraph to a rod company in Kalamazoo Michigan operated by William Shakespeare, known to his friends as Bill. After consulting chemists and engineers, Bill, whose company had been manufacturing and marketing fishing tackle for a long time, assembled an assembly line and began making rods of glass fibre.

Bantams girls win in Vernon

From A28

Before the final game against ECRS, Marrelli “told the girls that each point in this final must be earned with smart plays, not panic, and the team who can think clearly and remain confident will have the advantage,” he said. And the first set tested Skeena’s nerves, with a loud crowd that favoured ECRS and ECRS hungry to make up for Skeena’s win earlier in the tournament. But Skeena squeaked out wins in both sets, becoming Jr. B Girls Volleyball champions, complete with gold medals and banner. An All Star went to Skee-

TERRACE’S BANTAM Female Reps continued their streak of success earlier this month when they travelled to Vernon for a weekend tournament and took the top spot. They started the tournament falling to the Richmond Ravens Friday, Nov. 2 after a hard fought game that saw them down by two within the first 10 minutes. “Our team finally got the bus legs out by the end of the first period with Caitlyn Ray getting our one and only goal in the second period,” said coach Mario Desjardins. Terrace outshot Richmond 27-22, but Richmond wouldn’t budge, with the final score being 2-1 for the Ravens. Next, the team faced off against the well-coached Kootenay, winning 2-1 despite being outshot 40-32. “Our goalie, Meghan Pritchett, played her best game for our team at the most important time of the tournament,” said Desjardins, noting that they needed this win to have any chance at the finals. In their final round robin game, they went up against Kamloops. After a close first 30 minutes with Terrace leading 2-1, Terrace turned up the heat and scored six unanswered goals in the final half and taking Kamloops 8-1 in the end. And thanks to Kootenay beating Richmond in their final matchup, Terrace headed to the finals against the undefeated host, the Vernon Lakers. The final game was close for the first two periods, with Terrace leading 2-1. “But again the girls found an extra gear in their game,” said Desjardins. Terrace scored three unanswered goals, winning 5-1, thanks in part to a hat trick by Marissa Nichol. Strong goaltending by Kelsey Roberts, who turned away 23 shots, also contributed to the win, he said. The win was a big team effort, he said, with all of the girls pulling their weight and contributing in different ways. But the team has an unusual practice schedule—being that there isn’t one. Desjardins says they don’t practise during the week, but they do play games against some of the teams here in town, like the Peewee Rep team. “We have some of the top Female Bantam players in the province and we play a system that no team has been able to adjust to yet,” he said. This is the team’s second gold medal victory in as many tournaments, and this weekend the girls will travel to Kamloops to see if they can make it three. They’ll be playing against some of the top ranked teams in the province, like the number one North Shore Winter Club and the number three ranked Surrey Falcons in their first two games.

The carbon fibre sheet is dipped into a solution of liquid plastic resin, then squeezed between metal rollers to leave a controlled amount of resin in the sheet. The sheet is then heated to remove excess solvent and to partially harden the resin until it is slightly sticky. Next, a metal template is laid on top of a stack of sheets. A sharp blade cuts around the template, producing several cut sheets of the same shape. One edge of the cut sheet is heated in order to attach it to a tapered mandrel. The mandrel is rolled between two heated metal rollers, known as platens, that apply pressure as layers of fibre are wrapped around the mandrel. A thin film of a synthetic polymer, such as cellophane or polyester, is wrapped around the layers of fibre. The wrapped mandrel is then heated in an oven. The heat causes the polymer film to shrink, applying pressure to the fibre as the resin hardens. Now the mandrel is removed from the hardened fibre by using a pressurised ram to force it through a die. The polymer film is removed using a wire brush, a tumbler, high-pressure steam, splitting, or stripping. The blank is lightly sanded to remove excess resin and to provide a smooth surface. It is then coated with layers of various protective materials. The blank is buffed between each coating to give it a smooth finish. ...to be continued...

City looks to tackle vandalism A designated graffiti wall won’t be endorsed by the City of Terrace as a method of dealing with vandalism in the city. After a local artist’s pitch to council for a graffiti-friendly wall as a way to contain adhoc artwork and tagging from appearing on the property of others, city staff researched how well these walls worked elsewhere. The conclusion: they didn’t, according to staff. At last night’s meeting, council asked staff to look into other vandalism-reduction methods instead. “Ottawa has three graffiti walls which were established with the idea of providing a legitimate outlet,” said a staff report to council on the matter. “They have concluded that graffiti walls have the opposite effect and that graffiti spreads … to the neighbouring properties.” And cleaning up unwanted graffiti is expensive. According to a staff report, the City of Terrace has spent $8,000 on behalf of taxpayers this year on

The city wants to combat tagging like this. cleaning up vandalism. “There are two types of activity described as graffiti,” said the report. The first is by those who consider graffiti a form of art, the second are those who enjoy the rush of doing something illegal. “Those that tag and vandalize public property will not be likely to reduce their activity or restrict it to the graffiti wall as it is the illicit nature of vandalism that appeals to them,” said the report, adding that San Francisco works with local organizations to prevent graffiti instead. “Council may want to consider establishing a mural project,”

staff suggested instead. “This program could include partnering with community organizations to remove graffiti, and education program to encourage prompt removal of graffiti, reporting of graffiti and to discourage [it].” Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski agreed vandals should be held responsible for their actions. “If we could have the community step up and have someone identified,” said Pernarowski. “A little bit of consequence perhaps?” Councillor James Cordeiro agreed discouraging graffiti is a good idea, adding there does need to be an outlet

for legitimate artists. “I don’t see value in a graffiti wall,” he said, adding a mural program would be more appropriate. “That would be a positive step forward.” He suggested council establish a “comprehensive graffiti strategy” for Terrace, including things like removing graffiti as soon as possible. “If you remove it, their tag isn’t there and their notoriety is gone,” said councillor Stacey Tyers, adding removing the incentive, she thinks, is an effective strategy. Councillor Brian Downie suggested cameras could be installed to catch vandals. But it was suggested that cameras are reactive instead of proactive, and that hoodies or masks could help vandals evade being taped. Councillor Bruce Bidgood added that while he thinks there is artistic merit to graffiti, he doesn’t support a wall. City staff will be further investigating how to reduce vandalism in Terrace.
