Go fluoride-free, says local man BY Margaret Speirs IF THE city wants to stop fluoridating its water, the issue will need to go to referendum because it was decided to add fluoride to the water by referendum. That’s what city council told fluoride opponent Barry Prince after listening to his reasons for why it should be discontinued at the monthly council meeting Jan. 28. Fluoride is designed to be a topical treatment, Prince Rupert eliminated the substance from its drinking water nine years ago, European countries don’t add fluoride to their water and only four or five BC communities continue to fluoridate their water, Prince told council. Prince said he researched the mineral for hours and hours on the internet and believes for a variety of reasons we don’t need, or want, it. “It’s considered a neurotoxin,” said Prince, adding that meant having fluoride in the water was drugging people without their consent. Fluoride is detrimental after a certain age and actually yellows your teeth, he said. “Council should take a long hard look at it,” he said, adding fluoride is said to lower people’s IQ. “It doesn’t make sense to have this in our water.” City councillor James Cordeiro said that Germany, France and Spain removed it from their water because they found it more costeffective to put into the table salt. “They’ve just chosen a different delivery system,” he said.

New hospital in the planning stages PRELIMINARY planning has started on what Mills Memorial Hospital should look like, how large it should be, how many beds it should have and what services it should offer in the next decades. But it is still far too early to talk about details of size and services and whether parts of Mills will be rebuilt or whether a completely new building is called for, said Northern Health Authority communications official Steve Raper. “What we need to do is engage a broad audience for a picture of what we really need,” said Raper. “What we're looking at is planning for something to serve needs 20, 30 and 40 years out.” First steps involve hiring a con-

sultant to begin putting together a planning framework, Raper added. At the moment there is no construction timetable set, no budget established and no financial commitment from the province which will provide the majority of the construction money. “But I can tell you Mills Memorial is one of our priorities as part of a renewal plan,” said Raper.“What we need to do is be ready when it's time.” The Mills Memorial project has moved up on the Northern Health Authority's renewal list now that replacement hospitals for Burns Lake and the Village of Queen Charlotte on Haida Gwaii have been announced.

Work on each is scheduled to start this year and both are to be

“Mills Memorial is one of our priorities as part of a renewal plan... What we need to do is be ready when it’s time.” completed in 2015. Both the Queen Charlotte and Burns Lake hospitals are more than 50 years old and judged too out of date to be renovated. While there is no budget set yet for Mills, construction budgets for

both Burns Lake and Queen Charlotte provide an idea of current costs. The new hospital in Burns Lake will have 16 beds and cost up to $55 million and the Queen Charlotte hospital will have 9 beds and 8 residential care beds at a cost of up to $50 million. The core structure of Mills is also approximately 50 years old and it contains 29 acute care beds. But a series of projects over the past 11 years have resulted in a renovated 10-bed regional psychiatric unit, a kidney dialysis service in what was an administration wing and the construction of a new intensive care unit immediately beside a renovated emergency room

on the hospital's ground floor. How those newer facilities may fit in with an overall renewal plan has yet to be determined. Mills Memorial does sit on a sizeable piece of land and that may be an advantage in planning construction, said Raper. But he said that depends upon the final design and services decision. There's only been one full hospital replacement project in the north and that took place in Fort St. John where a 55-bed facility complete with numerous services accompanied by an adjacent 123-bed residential care facility was opened in June 2012 at a total project cost of $301 million.

Fluoride still needed, says councillor Tyers Lynne Christiansen thanked Prince for making his presentation and said since she had been on council, the issue of fluoride had come up quite often, sometimes to intense debate. “I have come to the same conclusion,” she said, adding that very few communities in the province put fluoride in their water. But councillor Stacey Tyers said she had seen the study in which a doctor said fluoride caused brain damage but after looking all over the internet, couldn't find his name associated with anything else, except that one study. Europe moved away from adding fluoride to the water because dental care is included in its universal health care, said Tyers. She'd spoken with quite a number of dentists and health care professionals and her

job involves working with people living in poverty, and from that she learned that for some people, fluoride in their water is the only fluoride they will receive it, she said.

On its website, Northern Health details its position on water fluoridation in a message from the chief medical health officer: “The maintenance of adequate levels of fluo-

ride in drinking water to prevent and reduce dental caries remain a public health best practice that we encourage communities to implement if they do not have it, and to maintain if

they do.” City corporate administrator Alisa Thompson said the issue would have to go back to a referendum if any change to fluoridation in city water was to be made.

Teens try to burn police vehicle Terrace RCMP took seven calls in nine days concerning a 12-yearold girl. On Feb. 6, a 12-yearold girl was arrested for mischief after returning to Skeena Middle School after being asked to leave by police and burning papers in front of the school. The girl was turned over to the care of a guardian with no charges being forwarded to Crown Counsel, said a Terrace RCMP release. And later that same day, the same girl and a 13-year-old girl fled after allegedly assaulting their guardians and threatening to burn the house down, said the release. Police located the girls on Old Lakelse Lake Dr. and arrested them. The girls then attempted to light the back of the police car on fire. Police stopped to deal with the situation and the 12-year-old girl punched a police officer in the face, said police. Charges of assault, assaulting a peace officer, assault with a weapon, and uttering threats are being recommended by police.

Social media abduction reports concern RCMP SEVERAL CASES of women hitchhikers having frightening experiences with men who have picked them up has touched off social media reports of similar incidents. In one such instance there’s a report of an elderly native woman being accosted by two men near the arena. “She had the sense to swing her hand bag and hit the assailant. He screamed racial remarks at her and saying all you Indians are going to disappear,” indicated the report.

“This is disturbing, that two people can run around Terrace threatening innocent people because of the color of their skin. She described the vehicle as a grey car with two Caucasians in it,” the report continued. In a Facebook comment, another person speaks of several abduction attempts. “There is a silver car targeting aboriginal young girls and now a white truck with three guys in it ….,” the comment says. “Please, please,

please do not go out alone, especially in Terrace where racism is very high and the police are of no help because they too are racist,” the comment continues. RCMP Constable Angela Rabut said officers don’t usually see an increase in related calls after high profile incidents are contained in news reports. “What we do see is a rise in social media gossip that tends to get reported. These calls take up a lot of our resources and time,” said Rabut. “Anyone can post

She did encourage people who are victims of crime to report it to the police so that it can be investigated.

Internet safety course offered THE TERRACE RCMP detachment has officers ready to provide a short course on internet safety as it applies to children. The course follows a growing movement across the country to better educate parents and teachers about the risks children and youth may encounter in the online world.

To that end the RCMP has been working closely with the Canadian Centre for Child Protection. The federal police office has also posted iSMART, an internet and social media resource toolkit to its www.bc.rcmp.ca website to support police officers in their work with parents and edu-

cators throughout the province. In Terrace, RCMP Constable Angela Rabut says she’s taken parts of that toolkit and other information for a local presentation. “We encourage any community groups to contact us and we will do a one-hour presentation on internet safety,” said Rabut.

The Kitimat-Stikine regional district explains why it likes the Forceman Ridge project

By Harry Nyce

he Kitimat-Stikine regional district’s solid waste management plan was completed in 1995. The regional district completed this extensive undertaking in conjunction with all areas of our region. Staff, project consultants and Ministry of Environment representatives met directly on multiple occasions with our member municipal councils and staff, First Nations representatives and held a series of public meetings in the Hazeltons, Kitimat, Stewart and Terrace. A technical advisory committee was established to represent First Nations, regulatory agencies and municipalities. A public advisory committee was also established by board appointment along with business representatives and recycling organizations from the region. Over 20 representatives from each committee participated in the planning process. Committee membership was solicited through direct letters and advertising throughout the region. The planning process and recommendations included in the plan were not done in isolation. The board did not unilaterally decide how to proceed with their solid waste plans into the future. The plan resulted in a number of recommendations related to residuals management, including the development of a single landfill to serve the Terrace area. At the time public feedback was to vacate Thornhill based on the concerns for Thornhill Creek and the proximity to Thornhill. In 1996, the regional district conducted a hydrogeotechnical investigation of the Thornhill Landfill and commenced with the search for an alternative site. The Thornhill Landfill investigation determined at the time, the site could be considered a potential candidate for the Terrace area. The site would require an upgrade with at least leachate collection and treatment including a non-toxic discharge to Thornhill Creek approximately 150 meters downstream of the landfill. The regional district also established a landfill siting advisory committee in 1996 to assist with the search for

THIS eagLe at the Terrace landfill will be looking for a new perch should the facility close down as called for based on a regional district plan for a wholesale change in the way garbage is handled in the area. an alternative site. The quest began with a constraint mapping exercise related to specific criteria including, and not limited to, distance to residences and domestic water supplies, distance to groundwater and surface water, proximity to floodplains and unstable areas, slope of land, distance to airport and in some cases the presence of Agricultural Reserve Lands. The goal was to locate a site to serve the area for 50 plus years. Based on these constraints no suitable sites were identified to the north, east or west of the City of Terrace. The valley to the south of Terrace offered sites for consideration. The Forceman site has been investigated extensively and is considered by many as a low risk facility for development. In 1999/2000 when the board decided to further investigate the Forceman site it was made with the support of the board’s advisory committee and with the City of Terrace. It was also determined with the City of Terrace that the Terrace Landfill should be closed. The board did its best to select the most appropriate site to further invest and examine in detail. At the time

it wasn’t aware of the conditions at the Forceman site to the extent of the current board. Today the board is making its decision to develop Forceman based on facts and with the assistance of a number of experienced and well respected experts along with the Ministry of Environment and numerous other regulatory agencies. The investigations conducted by the regional district on the Forceman Ridge Landfill site far exceed the typical scope of an environmental assessment. In addition to our confidence in the site to support a landfill facility, independent reviews of our wildlife and hydrology investigations concluded no significant concerns that could not be managed. Today if we were to look for a new landfill site we would not be looking in North Terrace or in the developed corridor between Thornhill and Jackpine Flats. Developing a modern long term landfill on the doorsteps of our residents is not desirable when a viable alternative is available; especially when the alternative offers low risks to our residents and the environment. The Forceman Landfill

will support the solid waste disposal needs of the Terrace area for close to 100 years; longer as we continue to benefit from our waste diversion initiatives. The board’s Zero Waste Program continues to grow and we will improve on the diversion of our wastes as time goes on. The current plans to manage solid waste (and the septic tank pumpage from all communities in the Terrace area) for the Terrace area is well thought out and supported by facts. Many initiatives have been implemented to assist with the reduction of materials requiring landfilling such as information brochures, publications, general outreach, and support of community recycling depots. Our Eco-Prise Program has also been a success over the years where funding has assisted in developing many new innovations for the region by local individuals and groups. We continue to explore other possibilities through pilot programs and hope to identify convenient, longer term solutions for the region. In addition, we promote backyard composting with composter sales, composter education including workshops and booths at lo-

cal public events. Our Zero Waste web pages provide more detail on some of these initiatives. We continue to work with extended producer responsibility (EPR) stewards to ensure a reasonable level of service and convenience within our communities including depots and drop off events. Currently, the Terrace area EPR “take back depots” are complimented by the courtesy Waste Management community recycling depot. Landfills throughout the region continue to rely on segregated diversion areas for commercial salvaging. The Thornhill Landfill also offers cardboard recycling and a well-used re-use area. Collection services for the Terrace area are also being planned and will likely include a diversion component. The Thornhill Landfill will be converted to a ‘transfer station’ for the public where consistent, diligent diversion of landfill materials will continue to take place and be improved on where possible. This includes plans for a larger scale composting component. The compost material will be used to top dress the landfill area to be decommissioned and closed. Any remaining landfill ma-

terials will be taken to the Forceman Ridge site. From the days of the Solid Waste Management Plan to our current positioning and focus, the regional district has proceeded cautiously with their decision making. The Forceman Landfill facility has been heavily scrutinized by those providing the approvals and by experienced professionals providing informed recommendations to the regional district and by independent experts. The regional district is well aware of the requirements and level of investigation to site a landfill. The investigations are very complex and the findings are highly scrutinized. Based on our experience, we are confident that the Forceman facility will serve us well and that a similar facility and level of comfort will not be attainable at our current sites. Any further examination of the Terrace and Thornhill sites would be at a significant cost and take many years to complete. Our confidence level, along with others, in determining if these sites are comparable to the Forceman option is very low. Letters from the Ministry of Environment support this position. To summarize, the investigations of the Forceman Ridge Landfill site have exceeded a typical environmental assessment. Preliminary investigations at the Thornhill and Terrace Landfills were sufficient at the time to prioritize the Forceman site for detailed investigation and evaluation. Experts and regulators including independents agree with our position to construct Forceman. We feel the current solid waste plans for the area are appropriate. Once again, the board thanks you for your interest in this important matter. We will continue to do our best when considering these services and their potential impacts. Harry Nyce is the chair of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. The above is a copy of a letter sent to RAfaSIE (Residents Advocating for a Sustainable Inclusive Environment) and is part of an ongoing exchange regarding Forceman Ridge between the two parties.

Break? IT’S A rare business that can largely choose when it will be open and when it will be closed. Meet the two-week spring break. It’s an experiment coming next month to test how students, teachers and parents respond to a doubling of the traditional spring holiday. Teachers are already in favour. No surprise there. What employee wouldn’t like this? As for parents, the school district says it is responding, in part, to calls by those who want more time to get to where they want to go because of northern travel distances. Fair enough. It’s safe to say that speaks to a socio-economic class where money and occupation allows families the luxury of such choice. But it’s also safe to say there are more families who don’t have the socio-economic privilege of choice. Daily matters such as arranging additional child care with attendant expenses and juggling work requirements will make a two-week school break all that more complicated. And that raises the question of whether a longer spring break is a matter of convenience or necessity. The school district wants to determine this by asking parents for their opinion. But the problem is that because of bureaucratic complexities the school district is asking for that opinion by the end of February as it ponders next year’s school schedule even before this experimental longer break takes place. And that’s putting the cart before the horse. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

ow many people depend upon credit or debit cards because they can’t do math? They choose to close their eyes and swipe the plastic rather than estimate the total of their planned purchase or face accurately counting the change a clerk may hand them. On the other side of the checkout counter, plenty of cashiers must trust their electronic registers to calculate a customer’s change. Shoppers can’t estimate the taxes on any purchase before they reach the checkout. Others can’t calculate a 15 percent tip on a restaurant bill or a taxi fare.

for young people, but any age can benefit from sound math. Weekly grocery shopping is an excellent place to begin saving a few dollars if you can do math in your head while you compare prices. Last week one supermarket offered red grapefruit at $2.89 for a 5 lb. bag or 25 cents per grapefruit from a bulk bin. The bag held nine grapefruit. Quick math told me each grapefruit in the bag cost 32 cents. In other words, I would pay 64 cents for the ease of plunking a bag in my cart, versus the time consuming, strenuous task of opening a bag and filling it with nine grapefruit from the bin. In an unrelated but just as confusing circumstance, blueberries were priced at $4.99 on either side of an island display. One side of the island offered square boxes two inches high weighing 510 grams. The other side of the island had shallower but wider boxes. As it turns out they were the same weight but I was still left wondering about the difference in packaging. And what confusion that might entail.

The manager, too, insisted on I.D. To which Molly reeled off her phone number, home address, account number and the last three transactions she had paid with her debit card. Still no go.

Movement needs to step up Dear Sir: Chief Clifford Morgan from Gitwangak has developed this thought. If we are committed to making change and achieving justice for our people we need to alter our strategies and tactics to present more of a serious challenge on the ground to force the

federal government to engage our movement and to respond to us in a serious way. I believe that what our movement needs is a mobilization of people on the basis of indigenous nationhood, led by traditional chiefs and clan mothers, medicine people, elders and youth, to start acting on

our inherent rights on the land and to demand respect for our traditional governments. In practical terms, we need to go beyond demonstrations and rallies in malls and legislatures and on public streets and start to reoccupy indigenous sacred, ceremonial and cultural use sites to re-establish

our presence on our land In doing so we would educate Canadians about our continuing connections to those places and how important they are to our continuing existence as indigenous peoples. If we do this we can, once again, make the Assembly of First Na-

tions, the mainstream media, the opposition parties hear the true voice of indigenous people in this country and if we are strong and tenacious in demonstrating our commitment to these goals, we can force the federal government to take us seriously.

Dear Sir: As a small business owner in Prince George, there would be an immediate short term benefit to my small business and to my parents’ local company, if Enbridge’s pipeline proposal is approved. However; I can not support the current Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal. The Alberta oil companies are losing over two billion dollars in lost revenue a month and Alberta and federal governments are also losing tens of millions dollars because oil companies cannot get full price for their product. Right now, Canadian tar sand oil is selling less than $50 a barrel, simply because of the shortage of pipelines coming out Alberta. For the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal to be greeted with overwhelming support and excitement from British Columbians, the oil companies and federal and Alberta governments should immediately create a six to ten billion dollar environmental and investment incentive fund to support Northern British Columbia. In other words, create a large northern investment fund to equal about four to six months of lost revenue from the tar sands. New environmental safeguards with independent northern citizen involvement are also needed to ensure the pipeline is being built to the highest standards and the maintenance is kept up. The pipeline should be dramatically reduced to one pipeline instead of the two that Enbridge is proposing. Enbridge should earn community trust before expanding. Alberta’s tar sands are truly the investment hub of Canada and I believe northern townships and First Nations communities welcome the opportunity to work with the oil companies to help them sell their product to the highest bidder in the world.

City has opportunity for carbon income

espite the fact the forest industry in the northwest is a shadow of its former self, there’s apparently still a lot of money to be made out of trees. At least that’s the hope of the Coastal First Nations group of the mid and north coast. And they won’t have to cut a single branch to make literally millions of dollars. It’s all based on the idea of carbon offsets/credits. Basically the concept is all the trees up in this neck of the woods daily absorb carbon from the atmosphere. So you calculate how much carbon is absorbed and that’s the carbon offsets you can sell. What are those worth? The Globe and Mail story I read said, “Currently, offsets are selling for about $10 per tonne and the project is expected to generate up to 1 million tonnes of offsets a year.”

That’s $10 million a year. For watching trees grow. Puts me in mind of a line from the Dire Straits ‘80s hit: “Get your money for nothing.” That’s not a criticism of the Coastal First Nations. More power to them if they’ve figured out an easy way to turn trees into cash. However, I have a suggestion on how they could do even better financially. Back in the ‘90s when I covered the forestry beat for The Terrace Standard I would pore over documents prepared for the B.C. chief forester that he needed to set the annual allowable cut in this area. At the risk of oversimplification, the annual allowable cut or AAC was volume based – X cubic feet per year – so forestry staff had to estimate what volume of harvestable timber was out there at the time of the review and would be there in the years to come.

MALCOLM BAXTER Which in turn involved rating the growth potential of different sites – good, medium, poor – since obviously the annual volume increase for trees on poor sites would be significantly less than that for good sites. And that rating was in turn based on how fast trees were

growing on those sites at the time of the AAC review. One year somebody worked out the growth ratings were flawed in that you had sites which consisted of old trees that were “bulking up” relatively slowly and had therefore been assigned a medium ranking. But in fact they were in reality good sites. Look at it this way: a two-yearold toddler today will grow dramatically over the course of the next 15 years. While a senior will not. It’s the same with trees: young ones grow faster which means they absorb more carbon per year than is the case with old growth giants. So if you log the slow-growing trees on good sites and replant, the more carbon that will be absorbed annually and the more credits you have to sell. Of course there would be a cost to logging, but I suspect that

would be more than offset by the increase in saleable carbon credits. It also occurs to me that there might be an opportunity here for the City of Terrace. How much carbon is absorbed by the trees it has planted along the Grand Trunk path? Look at all the trees in city parks, the trees the Greater Terrace Beautification Society planted around the Sande Overpass, etc., etc. And surely Terrace Mountain must be worth a few bucks. Of course, the value of the carbon credits associated with these trees won’t be in the tens of millions a year. But for a cash-strapped community such as ours, every little bit helps. Just a thought.

THE MAILBAG

www.terracestandard.com

Let my grandkids eat fish Dear Sir: I am against the blanket closure of trout/char in Skeena Area streams. Before such a sweeping closure is implemented there needs to be demonstrated scientific data behind such a move. Failure to provide such data, prior to this potential retention closure, reveals that the regulatory system is subject to undue pressure from what amounts to well organized lobby groups within the population of fishers. I grew up in Terrace and as a child I and my

Charles Claus pals spent all our summers on the banks of the Skeena fishing for trout and Jack Spring etc.

As young boys we stayed out of trouble and these fishing experiences were the memories of a lifetime. To restrict possession to young children like this seems incongruent with the B.C. wide initiatives to encourage young boys and girls to be more active and take up fishing. At this point in my life I am a grandparent to seven young children who would love to go fishing with grandpa. To have these young children be denied the opportunity to take home their river caught

‘12 inch Cutthroat Trout’ because certain sectors of the fishing community are motivated to outlaw retention of fish seems over the top. I also find it quite disturbing that the formal time window to give feedback to such a potentially significant change was largely over the Christmas Holiday Season. Significant potential changes within a healthy democracy demands that those affected by the potential changes be given ample time to hear and re-

spond. Most of the people I know who are quite concerned about this potential change did not hear about it until after the formal time for comment was already exhausted. Please do not adopt this proposed change. Put the money and science into a thorough evaluation first, and even then use a graduated retention system only if it is actually demonstrated to be absolutely necessary. Charles Claus, Terrace, BC

Movement needs to progress Now is the time to reoccupy, rise as original peoples. It is a strong and well thought out idea. Our villages own the land base. Signs should be put out that this is Indian land around the perimeter. In the case of the Gitxsan people, a short term forestry agree-

do the same. “No Fracking” signs should also be displayed. The non-Indian population of B.C. and Canada will eventually realize that we are saving their rivers and lakes from being polluted as well, since our Indian land is at the head end of these same

waterways. Their quality of life is at stake as well. The federal and provincial governments have to find different ways of making money or at least stop wasting it on wars in other countries. Ron J. Sterritt, Kispiox, BC

OPINION

www.terracestandard.com A11

The Mail Bag In defense of the fish Dear Sir: Welcome to the world of fish politics. Nothing stirs emotions more than a change to a fishing regulation. A firestorm has ensued as a result of the plan by the Skeena Region 6, Fisheries Section of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to ban the killing of trout, dolly varden and bull trout in all streams of the region. It is disappointing that Bruce Hill and others have not taken the time to understand or learn about the background and what has taken place before taking Rob Brown and I to task. We have had no influence over the Fisheries Section decision. We are both members of the Northern Branch of the Steelhead Society of BC (NBSS) and together along with our other members decide on various policies and positions. Neither he nor I pushed for a ban on the kill fishery or knew it was in the works. Yet we are somehow being implicated as the instigators and the NBSS as the catalyst in bringing about this regulation change. Rob represents the NBSS on the Provincial Skeena Fisheries Advisory Committee (SFAC) and I am his alternate. There are 17 members in total which provides advice to the Fisheries Section; the Steelhead Society, BC Federation of Fly Fishers, Skeena Angling Guides Association, BC Federation of Drift Fishers, local chapter of the BC Wild-

life Federation, North Coast Steelhead Alliance, regional tackle vendors, 6 rod and gun clubs and four independent anglers. They all have one representative and one alternate.

Jim Culp This is a fair and wide representation of the angling community. The Fisheries Section left no stone unturned in its search for representatives. The committee process uses consensus to make decisions. Rarely has the group achieved a consensus over any of its regulation proposals since inception of the Committee because of the difficulty to achieve total committee agreement. To clear up any misconceptions, at the 2010 SFAC meeting, the NBSS proposed a number of regulation changes focused on the decline of trout and char in the Skeena Region. They are: – Trout and char catch and release all year Zymoetz River and tributaries. – The bull trout and dolly varden limit reduced to 1 /day in all streams of Region 6 or at a minimum in the

Nass, Skeena, and Kitimat Watersheds. – Bull trout and dolly varden catch and release Aug. 15 to Oct. 31 in all streams of Skeena Region 6 to protect these fish during their spawning period. – Catch and release only for all wild coastal cutthroat trout March 1 to May 31 in all streams in the Skeena Region 6 to protect spawning fish(flexibility in dates). – Catch and release for bull trout, dolly varden, rainbow and cutthroat all year long in the Kitimat River. – Lastly an annual bait ban in the Skeena River from Aug. 7 to July 1 to protect steelhead, trout and char. Skeena Angling Guides proposed regulation changes for trout and char in 2011. My support for the NBSS proposals has not changed, they should be adopted by the Fisheries Section. I was quoted in the Standard on Feb. 6, supporting the Fisheries Section and their daunting task of managing fish in the region after severe cutbacks in budget and staff following the 2000 election. Extensive and meaningful scientific studies being demanded by the BC Wildlife Federation and its rod and gun clubs before they will agree to any regulation changes are not possible. The question is, should the Fisheries Section do nothing, adopt the NB and Guiding Association proposals or continue with their precautionary ban on killing trout and char? Conservation of

the resource is the priority and we can argue and debate which species, races and populations are declining and while doing so witness a further loss in numbers of stream trout and char in the rivers we have identified. This discussion is positive but at the end of

the day we need to find a responsible resolution to a complex issue. If you care, you need to say to the provincial government that more money and more people are needed to properly manage our provincial freshwater fish. Jim Culp, Terrace, BC

MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO

BOB ERB, second from left in front row, financed and hosted a pot conference at Blackstones over the Feb. 2 weekend with activists like Dana Larsen of Sensible BC, third from right back row.

Erb backs pot campaign MILLIONAIRE LOTTERY winner Bob Erb is backing a campaign to legalize marijuana with hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money. He spent more than $56,000 two weekends ago to host a pot legalization conference at the Skeena Landing complex and is now focusing efforts on a national public relations campaign. As well, Erb is backing a move by provincial pot activist Dana Larsen to have enough people sign a petition to then hold a referendum. If passed, the referendum would have the provincial government of the day amend the provincial Police Act to stop the police from taking any action, including searches, seizures, citations or arrests, in cases of simple cannabis possession by adults. Erb brought in nearly 20 pot advocates from across the country who were joined by a similar number of local people. “What I told them [Feb. 3] is that I’ve done the easiest part, writing out cheques for $300,000. Now you have the hard part of doing the work,” said Erb. “What I said was that I was the lucky SOB that won the $25 million. And I know that any of you, if you had won, would be doing the same as me right now.” “What we will have now is a unified voice and standard right across the country.” Every group repre-

sented received $10,000 for publicity, which includes updating their websites, said Erb. Four of the groups – NORML Women’s Alliance of Canada, Calm Compassion Club of Toronto, the Herb Museum of Vancouver and Calgary 420 – formed a national organization named 420 and received $100,000 to organize events. Four-twenty is an expression people have been using since the ‘70s and ‘80s to refer to going out to smoke a joint, said Erb. It’s spawned large public smoke-ins on April 20 of each year. T-shirts, literature, refreshments and tents will be provided at each event. And any marketing and items for sale will have the name “Erb for Herb,” said Erb. “Any money from Erb for Herb branding, any net income will 100 per cent go back into the legalization movement,” he said. Erb is planning another conference here later this year, which will likely coincide with the launch of Larsen’s petition under the name of his Sensible BC organization. “When I was smoking with Dana, I said ‘before Bob Erb won $25 million, what was your dream number you figured you needed monetary-wise to run an effective campaign?’” said Erb. “He said ‘my dream number is $400,000 to $500,000.’ I said ‘let’s use $500,000 as your

ideal to make it run successfully, to cover all the bases.’ “My next question was ‘how much did you think realistically you could’ve raised for this campaign?’” The amount Larsen

came up with was about $150,000, said Erb, adding he had earlier guaranteed Larsen at least $100,000 minimum from him, then upped the minimum he’d give to $250,000 for the campaign.

The proposed 2013-2017 Financial Plan may be inspected at the Regional District office during regular business hours Monday to Friday, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm. The Financial Plan is also available on the Regional District website at www.rdks.bc.ca.

City writes LNG impact shopping list By Anna Killen A NEW hospital, another elevated crossing over CN tracks, housing, and new roads all appeared on council’s priority list as it met with provincial cabinet minister Bill Bennett Feb. 5 to talk about the expected impacts should billions of dollars worth of liquefied natural gas (LNG) industrial projects take place in the region. Bennett assured council members the city would receive a portion of increased tax revenues that would flow to the province but warned there would be some lag time. “There will be a period of time, and we’re at the front end of it now, prior to when those LNG terminals are up and running where there will be pressure on community infrastructure and community services, and no royalties to share,” said Bennett. “Clearly we’re going to have to have a plan to deal with the interim. Fort Nelson is faced with exactly the

same thing and we have some experience with developing an agreement with them that we’ll probably utilize in working with Terrace, Kitimat, and Prince Rupert.” Bennett said there’s opportunity to reap benefits from exporting LNG to Asian countries who are prepared to pay more than North Americans for the product. “We’re sitting here now in 2013 with several basins in B.C. that have enough gas in them to provide gas to North America and the world for a very, very long time,” he said. “The opportunity for us provincially, and for you in the northwest, is to take the actions that are required to make sure we don’t waste this opportunity and to plan ahead.” “It’s going to happen,” said Bennett, of the region’s LNG development. “You’re going to have a large growth in population in the northwest, it means you’re going to have more stress and strain on your social services, you’re

probably going to need more school rooms ... you’re going to need additional health services, you may need water and sewer infrastructure. These are all positive challenges, challenges you only have when you have a growing economy.” Councillor Brian Downie raised the issue of lead time. “Given the long timelines that hospitals take, it would seem that this would be somewhat of a high priority that the government could help advance along,”

said Downie. “You have to invest early in order to see results by 2018 when you’re looking at the [extra demand].” Bennett agreed with this assessment, noting that “if the health authority and the province wait to build this hospital until this LNG thing is starting to really go, construction costs, access to labour, wages, all of that, it’s going to cost the taxpayer a lot more to build a hospital five to seven years from now than it would to build it now.” And as much as Ben-

nett and council spoke about infrastructure requirements, councillor Stacey Tyers raised the issue of skills training. “What’s really going to grow our community is to focus on the people who actually live here, and not just the people flying in and out to camp jobs,” she said. The provincial government is anticipating tax revenues from extracting natural gas as well as from processing it for export. How that money is divided will form the core of discussions with

B.C., while acknowledging that agreeing on that model is not going to be easy. “I’m sure it’ll be a direct negotiation and discussion between the province and the communities involved, that’s what we’ve done in the northeast,” he said. “The Fair Share model in the northeast seems to work really well for the municipalities that participate.” Mayor Dave Pernarowski told Bennett the city is already working on a plan for the lag time and a share model.

local governments. “I’m hoping that fundamental to this proposal for revenue sharing will be a commitment to redistributing across all of the affected areas,” said councillor Bruce Bidgood. “It would be really sad if the additional revenues only went to the towns where those plants were located instead of the communities all across the board.” Bennett took his point, noting that there are a number of precedents for revenue sharing agreements across

amy credgeur is the new owner of Petland, having taken over the store Feb. 1.

Business climate warms THE NUMBER of business licences granted to start this year is up from last year. At the end of this January, the number was 1,042 whereas at the end of January 2012 it was 1,027. There have been 32 closures this January but 11 openings and 26 re-openings whereas January 2012 saw 12 closures and 17 openings.

And that translates into a young woman owning her own business earlier than expected. Amy Credgeur, 20, is the new owner of Petland, having officially taken over Feb. 1 from former owner Rick Williams, who moved to Smithers. “I thought about it for quite a while,” said Credgeur.

GATEWAY perspectives

Marine safety plan Recently, I talked about why we chose Kitimat as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. I’d like to also discuss the various steps we’ve taken to prevent an incident on water, and the measures we’ve put in place to build a comprehensive marine safety plan for Gateway. Safety starts with a tanker acceptance program that’s as stringent as any in existence — and includes an independent review of all tankers, weeks ahead of their scheduled arrival. Tankers mooring at the terminal will be double-hulled and no more than 20 years old, and will be required — by independent third parties, before they enter Gateway’s shipping channels — to show a sound maintenance and operational history. As they approach Kitimat, all vessels will be boarded and guided by B.C. Coast Pilots with expert knowledge of our coastal waters.

One card. Many services. The new BC Services Card is part of government’s plan to modernize BC’s health care system. It replaces your CareCard, can be combined with your driver’s licence, and also acts as your photo ID. It’s more convenient and more secure, with enhanced features to protect your personal information. And getting yours is easy. Starting February 15, 2013, and for the next five years, you can simply enrol when renewing your driver’s licence. And even if you don’t drive, you can enrol at the nearest location where driver’s licences are issued. To learn more visit: BCServicesCard.ca

Simulations conducted in varying weather conditions have shown that the largest tankers can be safely navigated without the help of tugboats. Still, Gateway is adding a tug-escort system as an additional safety measure. The Douglas Channel is already one of the deepest and widest inland waterways on North America’s west coast, and Gateway’s tug-escort

system, according to risk assessment data, would reduce the already unlikely chance of a grounding incident by a further 80 to 90 per cent. As another Gateway marine safety initiative, we’re introducing landbased radar to B.C.’s North Coast for the first time. This radar system will be bolstered by extra navigational aids such as lights and channel markers. These enhancements aren’t just for Gateway — they are for all vessels on B.C.’s North Coast. Groups who oppose this project use fear tactics. They’d have you believe an oil tanker spill is inevitable. It isn’t. But don’t take my word for it — visit our website and read for yourself about all the work that has gone into making Gateway’s marine operation one of the safest in the world. Then, decide for yourself what’s true.

“I thought about it and there’s nothing else I’m interested in right now.” She attended Northwest Community College for a year and a half, taking business administration and science courses, while working full-time at the pet store before deciding to take time off from school. And now she knows she won’t be returning to school. Credgeur has worked at Petland for five years now, and had spent a year-and-a-half volunteering there before that. She had thought about owning her own business, but sometime in the future. Completely new to the local business scene is Cindy Palmer. She’s behind The Blue Fin Sushi Bar which is set to open soon in the former Villa 46 location on Lakelse Ave. next to the Inn of the West. After a bit of remodelling, adding a sushi bar, hostess stand, a coat of paint and new flooring in the bathrooms, the restaurant is almost ready to go. Palmer, who also owns a Blue Fin Sushi Bar in Smithers, says the time was right to open one here. She had enough staff in Smithers to have four relocate here to work in the new restaurant, an asset since they know the menu and Palmer’s standards, she said. And she’s hired three staff members here and is thinking of hiring more, she added. “I’ve had my sushi bar in Smithers for nine years and have customers who live in Terrace and Kitimat and people have been telling me, asking me, begging me, for a few years now to open one in Terrace,” said Palmer, adding she’s been thinking about it for about three years. There are four seats at the sushi bar and 24 more seats at tables, about half the size of the Smithers restaurant. Meanwhile, city council has given its approval to a plan by an existing business to amend a previously-granted development permit. Kondola’s, now on Lakelse Ave., wants to move to a new structure on the south side section of Kalum right across the street from Tim Hortons and bounding on Hwy16. In the committee of the whole at the Jan. 28

council meeting, director of development services David Block recommended passage of an amendment to an existing development permit. It would reduce the amount of gross floor area to 2,776 square metres, and eliminate two proposed lease retail spaces that had been contained in the original permit. The first development permit proposal was for a two-storey retail building that exceeded a 4,500 square metre gross floor area size limitation contained in the provincial transportation act. The plan would have then required review and approval by the provincial transportation ministry. Making the amended proposal for a smaller building removes those requirements. Kondolas will still need the approval and issuing of an access permit to Hwy 16 by the ministry for the proposed right turn only exit from the parking area onto the eastbound lanes of Hwy 16.

MP joins in on search for industrial consensus SKEENA-BULKLEY Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen is joining in on the growing efforts in the northwest to examine the impacts of potential large scale economic development in the region. He’s hosting a series of meetings from Prince Rupert to Prince George to gauge public opinion on how those developments will affect the area. “With tens of billions of dollars in resource investment ex-

pected in northwest BC by the end of the decade, communities need to be a key part of the discussion if these projects are to gain social license to proceed,” said Cullen in a news release released last week. Cullen and community partners are hosting discussions this month and next, dubbed Renewal Northwest, to identify the top criteria that communities want to see for projects to be supported by residents.

The sessions follow a similar series held in 2009, also under the Renewal Northwest heading. This Renewal Northwest tour, titled New Projects, New Challenges, New Opportunities, wants answers to four key issues: – how do people define and evaluate the key factors that make a project good for the Northwest – how do people influence what projects go

ahead – how to create steady and manageable rather than boom/bust economies – and how to ensure area residents benefit from responsible resource development The first sessions takes place in Prince Rupert Feb. 17 with dates to be announced for Kitimat, Terrace, Prince George (co-hosted with UNBC), Fort St. James, Burns Lake and Smithers.

A GROUP of Nisga’a opposed to the Nisga’a treaty saying it was unconstitutional because it created a third order of government and denied them rights of representation have lost their case before the BC Court of Appeal. The appeal court, in a Feb. 5, 2013 decision, instead found that the treaty, which came into force in 2000, falls within the Canadian constitution as “an honourable attempt to resolve important but disputed claims, to achieve reconciliation, and to lay the foundation for a productive and harmonious future relationship between the Nisga’a Nation and the non-aboriginal population of Canada.” The opposition group was lead by James Robinson, also known as Chief Mountain, who once lived in Kincolith. Robinson and others had also argued that significant Kincolith lands were not included in the territory that now form the core treaty land base. Nisga’a Lisims Government president Mitchell Stevens welcomed the appeal court decision, saying it reinforced the Lisims government’s position on the treaty. “Our elders have always said that not only must our ownership of Nisga’a Lands be recognized, but we must also have the right to make decisions for ourselves about our lands and our people. This is the meaning of Nisga’a government – having the right to determine our path towards a better quality of life within Canada,” he said. The Robinson faction first filed its court challenge in 2000, the year the treaty came into effect. The case wound its way through to the appeals court after Robinson was successful in a lower court ruling that it could mount a challenge. In a 2002 statement, Robinson outlined the historical roots of what he said was a dispute between Kincolith, which is at the mouth of the Nass River and people who lived further inland. “I have rights as a Canadian and a Nisga’a which are best protected under the Canadian constitution, not a constitution passed by a government controlled by family cliques, centered in [the Lisims capital of] New Aiyansh,” said Robinson at the time. “We have no interest in being subjected to the unlawful discrimination of those who have been prejudiced against Kincolith since Kincolith was founded by Christians fleeing persecution by nonChristians up the Nass Valley, where New Aiyansh is located,” he said.

Big, Little Sister learn from each other IT’S A typical afternoon for Big Sister Kelsey Wiebe and her Little Sister Samara Forcier-Yake. They’re rolling up rice, shrimp and vegetables in seaweed, making sushi in Kelsey’s dining room. It was Samara’s idea. “No other kid likes it more than I do,” says Samara about sushi. She’s not your typical nine-year-old, Kelsey says. They do all sorts of activities in the two to four hours each Tuesday after school that they spend together, mostly what Samara wants to do. Since they were matched up a year-anda-half ago, they’ve gone bowling, hiking, swimming, skating, gardening, going to the library, walking around Ferry Island identifying the faces in the trees – Samara says Kelsey told her she was good at finding the faces, but Kelsey only found five faces and Samara found about 30 – among other activities. And there’s more coming up in the weeks to come, like downhill skiing. They went cross-country skiing for Samara’s first time a while ago and she took to it easily. “She liked it and is really good at it,” says Kelsey, adding Samara asked when they would go downhill skiing. “She’s really brave.” Kelsey became in-

terested in becoming a big sister when her best friend did it in Prince George. She couldn’t because she didn’t have a car so when she got settled in here, she applied. Samara asked for a Big Sister after her brother asked for a Big Brother for Christmas. She asked what a Big Sister was and was told it’s “somebody who hangs out with you.” “I’m like, ‘oh can I have one?’” says Samara. Their first activity together was going to Chill Soda Shop for ice cream. “I didn’t know what to say to a seven-yearold,” says Kelsey. A train was going by and Kelsey said she wondered where it was going. “Samara sized it up and said ‘coal going to China,’” said Kelsey. “That’s when I knew she was smart.” Kelsey finds she learns a lot from Samara and does things she wouldn’t do normally. “She’s really funny and interesting,” says Kelsey. Samara came up with the idea for Kelsey’s dog to have a birthday party. They made invitations, invited dogs they knew, had dog goodie bags with treats and little balls. “I never would’ve thought of a dog birthday party,” says Kelsey. Big Sisters, or Big Brothers, are matched

They can continue meeting as long as both want to and every year their match is reevaluated to make sure it’s working for both of them. Kelsey says she intends to go on until Samara graduates high school. “I’m going to be with Kelsey until I’m

30,” says Samara. “Or maybe until I’m 20, then I can be a big sister.” Big Brothers and Big Sisters, which is celebrating its 100th year, focusses on children age six to 12 from single parent families, who have less than once a month contact with a male role model for the Big Brother program, and/or other parent for the Big Sister program. Currently, there are two boys and two girls

matched with two big brothers and two big sisters, respectively, here. And one big sister waiting for a match. “What I can say is that three of the matches are over a year and the Bigs are excellent. [I] can’t stress that enough,” said Monica Watson, TDCSS Big Brothers Big Sisters of Terrace coordinatorfundraiser about how long some of the “Bigs” and “Littles” have been

together. There are six children on the wait list here. Usually it’s boys waiting for a Big Brother. Children can be on the wait list until their 13th birthday; if already matched with a mentor, they can continue past their 13th birthday. There is also an inschool program offered in the past that matches a volunteer with a child in Grades 1-6.

They meet at the child’s school for one hour per week for at least one school year, doing activities like sports and reading. Other programs include the Kids ‘n’ Kops program to introduce children to the RCMP through activities such as a mock crime scene; Go Girls for girls 12 to 14-years-old that addresses active living, balanced eating, and self-esteem; and Bowl for Kids Sake.

ubby and I were in Manitoba on an extended trip 19 years ago and while there decided we would ask our cable company to disconnect us, as we seemed to only watch Hockey Night in Canada and Peter Mansbridge. We came back to find a weeks-old letter informing us we had been cut off but they would reconnect us for a fee. Well, that’s handy, we said. We happily watched the CBC broadcast for all those years. The rabbit ears on the old fat set matched the décor of our mid-century house. The beginning of the end of this beautiful relationship occurred when we tuned in one Grey Cup Day and found Aussie Rules Football on the grand old Canadian Broadcasting Corporation instead of the Big Game. What is this world coming to when the CBC drops the ball like that? Then the interweb came along and we got a new flat screen TV that we could hook up with wires and cables and ribbons and string to watch Canadian Football League champions run back and forth every November, regardless of who had the broadcast rights. When the CBC announced it was abandoning its analog signal and going digitalonly, the rabbit ears, and our lifestyle of watching TV for free, were doomed. We raged, we mourned, we finally accepted. We called up the new cable company in town and agreed to pay them money every month from this day forward, amen. How exciting! Look at all those channels listed in the colourful brochure! Even with the most basic of basic packages, the choices were dizzying. The cable

Learning channels guy came and pushed buttons and flicked switches and handed me a remote. “Oh, we have a remote,” I said. (It came with the flat screen TV at no extra charge, how luxurious!) He smiled in a sad, knowing way. “That’s for your TV,” he said. “This is for your cable box.” No, no, say it ain’t so. My mom in Manitoba has a basketful of remotes and whenever the grandchildren came over, they all needed reprogramming. “I haven’t been able to watch anything since Easter,” she’d say. “All I get a blank screen.” Fortunately, I am tech-savvy, I can google, I can copy-paste, so certainly I can successfully navigate more than one remote. Right? Wrong: “Young person,” I would shout to the teenager, “Report for duty in the living room! Operate the technology!”

“It’s easy, mom, look.” Then he would rapidly press Select, Up, B, 2B, Down, Left, Left, type in “get ammo,” and a loud commercial would appear. It was hard to follow. Oh, yeah, I forgot about those American TV ads. Apparently there are a lot of products that will make my life complete, if only the side effects don’t get me. But wait, there’s more! You get double the amount of stuff you never heard of before and didn’t want in the first place. So I figured out how to press “Guide” to get the list of shows. They have no meaning! Even the little episode guide “Laurie gets a surprise,” does not help at all, at all. “I don’t know how to watch TV anymore,” I confess to my co-workers. “Please help me.” They start listing off a dozen show names – Breaking Hope, Raising Bad, The Good Bang Theory, Two and a Half Wives. “Stop!” I say.” Just give me a channel to watch, I’ll start with that.” Acronyms like TLC, TCM, W and CMTV fill the air, and I flee the office before I start sobbing. Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I have learned how to watch cable? Does one batch of home-made vegetable broth make up for six days straight watching the Food Channel? At two in the morning, it leads me to wonder, why do I care so deeply who gets Chopped? Does one weekend spent repainting a wall in my living room mean my weeks of watching HGTV was time well spent? Yes, a little learning is a dangerous thing. I hope they invent the CPC – the Couch Potato Channel, combining home décor and food – then I could relax and just leave that station on all the time.

Obituaries

Gerlinde Anna Langheinrich (nee URNER), 78 Gerlinde passed away on 1 February 2013 in Terrace, B.C. while in palliative care at Terraceview Lodge. Gerti was born to Anna (nee Kostron) and Rudolf Urner on 10 October 1934 in Schildberg (Ĺ tĂty), Czechoslovakia. She lived in Germany before settling in Northwestern B.C with her family and most of her siblings in May 1960. Gerlinde is most known for her many years of work at Bertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Delicatessen. It is at the Deli where she was able to do the things she loved most: share stories, laughs, and of course food. She is predeceased by her parents; her husband (Hans Langheinrich); her sisters: Anni (Leon) Kawa and Hilda (Siegfried) Kriegl; and brothers: Rudy and Helmut Urner. Gerlinde is survived by her Children: Gabriele (Robert) Prevost, Udo (Sandra) Langheinrich; Grandchildren: Dallas (Jose) Pacheco, Jason (Leslie) Prevost, Michael Prevost, and Joey (Tamara) Prevost; Great-grandchildren: Marina (Tanner), Ariana, & Anthony Pacheco, Payton Prevost, and Samuel & Alexander Prevost; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and other relatives including her sisters-in-law: Lynne and Gunda Urner; and the Buchele and Kluger families of Germany. Gerlinde was cremated on 5 February 2013 at the Terrace Crematorium. As per her request, the family will be having a private ceremony to scatter a portion of her cremains at a later date. Please join us in paying tribute to Gerti on 22 February 2013 at the Terrace Sportsplex at 11:00am. Charlie Meek will be officiating this gathering with a reception to follow prepared by Gerlindeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nephew- Richard Kriegl. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Dr. R.E.M. Lee Hospital Foundation. Our family would especially like to share our heartfelt thanks to the staff at Terraceview for the care and kindness they showed our grandmother during this difficult time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cry because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over, smile because it happened.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dr. Seuss

NOTICE Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Amendment Bylaw No. 625, 2013. The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine gives notice that it proposes to amend the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Establishment Bylaw No. 321, 1992â&#x20AC;? by adopting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Establishment Amendment Bylaw No. 625, 2013â&#x20AC;?. Bylaw No. 625 is currently at third reading and may be adopted as early as the February 22, 2013 Board meeting. The purpose of the Bylaw is to: â&#x20AC;˘ Increase the maximum annual requisition limit that can be levied from $210,000 to $262,500 to meet current operational needs and provide room for incremental future increases as required. â&#x20AC;˘ This Library Cost Sharing Service was established by bylaw in 1979 and was approved by referendum. The current maximum annual requisition limit of $210,000, was established by Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Bylaw No. 321, 1992. In 1992 the actual tax levy was just under $50,000 and has steadily increased to just under $195,000 in 2012. â&#x20AC;˘ Costs are expected to continue to be recovered primarily by means of a property value tax based on net taxable value of land and improvements. Based on current assessments, the residential tax rate for different requisition amounts are estimated as follows : â&#x153;&#x201C; $0.37/$1,000 of net taxable value of land and improvements on a requisition of $210,000. â&#x153;&#x201C; $0.45/$1,000 on a requisition of $250,000. â&#x153;&#x201C; $0.47/$1,000 on a requisition of $262,500. Persons wishing to inquire or inspect this Bylaw can view it on the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website www.rdks.bc.ca or contact the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine at #300, 4545 Lazelle Avenue, Terrace, BC V8G 4E1, telephone 250.615.6100 or 1.800.663.3208, office hours are from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday excluding holidays.

Terrace wins Battle of the Ice

By Martina Perry

Terrace's Totem Ford Midget Rep hockey team was the unconquered winners of the Battle of the Ice tournament hosted by the Prince Rupert Minor Hockey Association two weekends ago. Battle of the Ice was the firstever Midget Rep tournament held in Prince Rupert, with four northern B.C. teams participating in the event that ran Feb. 1-3. Terrace started its undefeated championship run against Prince Rupert on Friday evening, winning 6-2. For the kick-off game of the tournament, Terrace's Nakita Dejarlais was named MVP of his team with Rupert's Connor Horcoff taking the title for his. The following game was between Fort St. James and Houston in a close game that ended in Houston's favour, 6 to 5. The first game on Saturday saw Prince Rupert overcome Houston 1-0, with Prince Rupert's Jordan Aubee being named MVP of his team. Then Terrace faced off against Fort St. James in the fourth game of the tournament, that saw Terrace come out victorious with a final score of 10-3. Terrace's Cole Motschling was recognized as MVP. The winning streak continued

This was a common sight at the Battle of the Ice tournament in Prince Rupert during the first weekend in February. Terrace’s rep team took the top spot. for Terrace in the next game they played against Houston. Terrace annihilated the team 13

to 0, with Colin Bell being named Terrace's MVP of the game. The final match on Saturday

saw Prince Rupert and Fort St. James face off, with Prince Rupert overcoming the team 10-3.

Brett Carey of Prince Rupert was named MVP of his team. The tournament finals started on Sunday morning with Houston and Fort St. James competing in the consolation match. The two teams ended up tying the game 5-5, leading to a shootout. Houston ultimately prevailed, taking the third place title. Meeting up in the final game of the tournament was Terrace and Prince Rupert, who played an uneventful first period, with neither teams being able to score by the end of the period. Prince Rupert goalie Colten Cann had his work cut out for him in the second period, with Terrace players refusing to stop shooting the puck. Terrace's Colten Braid put the first goal of the game on the score board within the first few minutes of the period. Then, Braid's teammate Colin Bell brought the score to a 2-0 lead for Terrace in the final minute of the second period. Prince Rupert just couldn't keep up in the third, with Terrace's Cole Motschling scoring the third and fourth goal for his team before the end of the game. The final score was 4-0. Terrace's Ryan Roseboom and Rupert's Colten Cann were named the MVPs of the game.

It’s all about the hometown heroes

he Terrace River Kings CIHL season may be over, but what a season it was. The young team battled hard and improved as the season went along. The Kings provided great entertainment in a hockey season best known for the National Hockey League lockout. Local fans could cheer on the likes of Derek Jurista, Craig Vienneau and Mark Dhami. Hometown heroes, literally. Who needs the NHL? The 2012-13 hockey season has been a tough one for hockey fans thanks to NHL labour dispute. I took up the River Kings beat as part of a campaign to get fans in the local rink. Be it the River Kings or some of the peewee or midget tourneys in town, the hockey has been fantastic. For the most part the feedback has been amazing. I have talked to fans who had not been to the rink in years, who told me how much they enjoyed it again. And it’s been great meeting the oldtimers who shared their stories of local

hockey lore going back before I was even born. For me personally this has been one of my favorite hockey seasons in years. Getting down to the rink more often played a big role in that. There are some fantastic youth players here. And Terrace River Kings fans are already looking forward to their team and new found heroes returning next season and maybe, just maybe, an appearance at the Coy Cup in Kitimat in March. That is assuming none of these guys move up to the National Hockey League. Okay, so that is highly unlikely. Can you imagine your favorite local senior hockey star playing in the NHL? Don’t think it can happen? It already has. And it happened right here in Northwestern British Columbia. Back track about 40 years. The Kitimat Eagles are a senior league team playing the likes of the Prince George Mohawks in the now long defunct British Columbia Senior Hockey League.

KINGS CORNER

JOE PELLETIER That team is from so long ago that they played in Kitimat’s original arena. It may seem old now, but it was only a few years old then. Beautiful Tamitik Arena was not completed until 1973. There is a new star player in town. A fellow named Bill Riley has moved from Nova Scotia to work as a welder at the Alcan aluminium smelter. He was a junior

hockey star in Amherst, but he had no interest from the NHL. In 1971 Riley quickly suited up for the Eagles. Details are so sparse about this mysterious BCSHL, but Riley’s dominance was never in doubt. He led the league in scoring all three years he lived in Kitimat. In 1972-73 he scored 56 goals and 88 points in 40 games. In 1973-74 he scored a ridiculous 76 goals and 118 points, also in 40 games. Riley caught the eye of Tom McVie. At that point McVie was already a minor league coaching legend and soon to be National Hockey League coach. In 1974 he was coaching a minor league team called the Dayton Gems, a farm team of the Washington Capitals. He convinces Riley to leave a nice future at Alcan in beautiful northwestern B.C. to pursue a professional hockey career. The Caps bring him to training camp. Riley was destined to play in Dayton that season, but he would soon get called up to the National

Hockey League. He would go on to play 139 NHL games over five seasons with Washington and Winnipeg. He scored 31 goals and 61 points. That’s the story of how a welder from Kitimat went on to become the third black player in NHL history. It’s also a great story of never letting your dreams die. I end my River Kings coverage with the same message that I started with – keep heading out to the local rink. Support the local players and teams, be it the peewees in a tourney or the seniors in the latest clash against Kitimat. Treat yourself to some Timbits hockey for lots of smiles. Everyday hockey dreams are being played out in small town rinks. That is where hockey’s heart beat is found, not the big leagues. Joe Pelletier is a hockey writer living in Terrace.

Cal playday foreshadows zones The Caledonia Kermode Junior boys hosted a playday Saturday, Feb. 2 at the Caledonia Gym, bringing together the potential top three seeds in the northwest zone prior to the Jr. Boys Zone Championship tournament in Smithers on Feb. 15 and 16. The Junior Kermodes defeated Mt. Elizabeth Junior Eagles in the first game of the morning by a 12-point spread. Charles Hays, the favorites, defeated Smithers by a large margin before losing a close game to Port Simpson (another top three seed). And the final game of the day saw the Kermodes win 53-52 over the Port Simpson Squad. All in all, it could be

e don’t believe that you should withdraw money from your account unless you know how much there is. - Mark Beere, Senior Biologist, Skeena Region FLNRO It was over 20 years ago. Dr. David Narver, head of Provincial Fisheries, took the podium at the Annual General Meeting of the Steelhead Society of British Columbia for what had become an annual presentation to that body. Normally, Dr. Narver gave a overview of the initiatives his staff planned to undertake for the upcoming year then introduced the regional heads who then described those activities in more detail. That year, many of us sensed there was something of significance in the air. Dr. Narver’s audience consisted of dedicated Steelheaders. The majority belonged to the Kingfisher Rod and Gun Club, the overwhelming number of whom fished float rods, used bait, and were accustomed to killing a steelhead or two for the table now and then. Founding members of the Society like Dave Maw, Cal Woods, Pat Ahern, and Jim Culp,

a very interesting zone championship in two weeks. Senior Boys action And the senior Kermodes were at the College Heights Invitational that same weekend, kicking off the tournament with a convincing win over Cedars Christian 93-23. Kermodes were led by Reegin Maki with 25 points, Levi Crist with 15, Mat Brown with 14 and Kynan Finnie and Keel Haldane with 10 each. Levi Crist was named player of the game. In game two the Kermodes defeated the host team College Heights by an 80 - 53 score. Cal was led by player of the game Marcus MacKay with

all firmly rooted in the provincial tradition of drift fishing, were there too. Steelheading flyfishers like Gerry Wintle, Lee Straight, Pete Broomhall, and Bob Taylor, still a minority in those days, were also in attendance. Dr. Narver began by saying the Branch had utilized some sorely needed funds to undertake some much needed stock assessment. We all understood that having a good idea of the number of fish was fundamental to the management of a fishery. Where we thought we had tens of thousands of steelhead, said Dr. Narver, we discovered we had thousands. Where we assumed we had thousands, we had hundreds, and where we were sure we had hundreds, we had tens. We realized that Dave Narver’s words heralded a paradigm shift in fisheries management. The days of punch cards and permission to kill a couple of fish a day and have more than that in one’s possession were gone unless we opted for hatcheries on our rivers as our neighbours in Washington had done. Fearing that hatcheries ran counter to the biological imperatives of natural selection, the

25 points, Patrick Kurek and Brennan Jay both with 12, and Kynan Finnie and Reegin Maki with 10 each. In the final game of the tournament, the Kermodes did not show up to play as a team and had no answer for the post players from North Peace, losing 82-68. Four starters were in foul trouble from early on in the game which led to some matchup problems for the Kermodes. But in the end, the boys were not sharp, did not play as a team, and were out hustled by their opponents. Kermodes were led in scoring by Marcus MacKay with 26 and Reegin Maki with 17 points.

Misguided motions Steelhead Society had discussed them and developed a policy opposed to artificial enhancement. We simply could not embrace the US model. Dr. Narver couldn’t either, with the result that B.C. opted to protect wild steelhead as the best bet for the species’ survival. From that moment, we all starting letting steelhead go. If we hadn’t they’d be gone now. Casting back on that talk, I remembered that not a single soul

The Terrace River Kings season came to a screeching halt on Saturday, Feb. 2 in Kitimat. The Kitimat Ice Demons downed the River Kings by a score of 7-4, sweeping the best of three playoff series two games to none. Kitimat had the score at 6-0 by the end of the first period, with Terrace getting back on their feet in the second period before the game deteriorated into a penalty-filled affair that actually saw the referees end the second period early to let the teams cool off. But thanks to many power plays, Terrace made the score respectable in the third period

at 6-4. Cam Kerr, Nick Homeniuk, Joey Cormano, and Derek Jurista scored for Terrace. Kitimat iced the game with an odd empty net power play goal against the desperate River Kings. Muir, who should be named as the team’s MVP this season, was one of seven regulars unavailable for the final game. That list includes veteran defencemen Josh Murray, Mark Dhami and Toby Mitchell, all injured for significant parts of the season. Kyle Holtom, Corbin Legros and Garrett Kerr also were unavailable for Saturday night’s game. But such is life in a working man’s league, right?

Snow Valley success The Snow Valley Nordic Ski Club held its annual Snow Valley Open race on Saturday, Jan. 26. It was a highly successful race with 68 skiers from Kitimat, Terrace and Smithers competing for the iconic chocolate bar prizes – no medals, but everyone gets a chocolate bar at the finish. Some very good times were recorded: Connor Block finished 18 seconds ahead of the competition in the Peewee boys 1.5 km. And Amelie Hrynkiw was a full 48 seconds ahead of the Peewee girls. Johannes Vandenberg was 28 seconds ahead in the Midget Boys 3.5 km and Magda Vandenberg was

challenged Dr. Narver. Not one person stood up and questioned his assessment. Nobody wrote a letter of objection. For as much as we didn’t like the message, we knew that the messenger was backed by some pretty sharp scientists and a hard-working staff that had the welfare of fish uppermost in its priorities. We took for granted that it was folly to question the opinion of a fisheries scientist and his staff when it came to the assessment of a population of fish for the same reason that you wouldn’t question the judgement of your cardiologist when it comes to his diagnosis of the condition of your heart. Now, decades later, Mark Beere, the senior fisheries biologist in Skeena Region, tells us that after reviewing all available data on Bull Trout and Dolly Varden throughout their range, after factoring in past experience, after reviewing regulations in other regions and Alaska, after considering endangered species designations, after weighing the latest scientific understanding of the species in question, after consulting with his staff, after acknowledging the considerable impact of

almost nine minutes ahead of her competition. In the masters categories, Peter Krause of Smithers did the 7.5 in 22.44 minutes while Heidi Siebring took the women’s prizes in 34.58 minutes. The skiers enjoyed dry weather and excellent snow conditions. And everyone loved the homemade soup and baking afterwards. The club is looking forward to its next big event – the Snow Valley Marathon with varying distances suitable for the whole family at any skill level – on Saturday, Feb. 23. See the club’s website www.snowvalleynordics.com for full results of the race.

proposed industrial development in the form of pipelines and their collateral development, and after assessing the resources at his disposal, he believes the prudent course is to stop the kill of Bull Trout and Dolly Varden Char in streams. This means that you and your kids can still kill a coho, a chum, a pink, a chinook, or sockeye, whitefish or grayling. You can also take home any trout or char found in a lake. Or you and your kids can catch a trout or char in a stream and let it go. Yet Mark Beere and his colleagues have been met with petitions and resolutions from our council and a regional district who think they know better than professionals who spend their working lives studying such matters. Before those political bodies made any resolutions they had the obligation to invite Mark and his staff to their meetings to give a presentation. If they’d done this, I’m confident that they would never have made such motions. Proactive management has the best chance to ensure kids will have a fishery in the future. That’s what Beere is advocating.

Strict marine safety standards will ensure we respect our neighbours above, around and below us.

Although tankers have been safely navigating the north coast and its channels for decades, marine safety remains a top priority for British Columbians. We have been planning the Northern Gateway Project for over a decade, with a particular focus on protecting the environment. We have added specific safety requirements to our marine operations plan to help make the waters of the north coast safer not just for tankers serving the project, but for all marine vessels.

Tankers will reduce speeds in the channels…

Qualified BC Coast Pilots will board and guide all tankers… To prevent spills, all tankers serving the project will be modern and double-hulled, and will be vetted by independent, third party agencies before entering Canadian waters. Once strict safety and environmental standards are met, they will be guided through the Douglas and Principe Channels by qualified BC Coast Pilots.

Tankers travel slowly, but to make sure that marine species and their habitats are respected, tankers will be required to reduce speed as they pass through certain sections of the channels. Even their escort tugboats will have quieter engines to reduce underwater noise.

Powerful tugboats will escort tankers… Additional radar and navigational aids will improve safety for all vessels…

Tugboats have been shown to significantly reduce tanker incidents worldwide. Powerful tugboats that have been specially commissioned for Northern Gateway will assist in the safe arrival and departure of tankers. All tankers will be attended by a close escort tug. In the channels, laden tankers will have two tugs–one tethered at all times. These tugboats will have emergency response equipment on board and will be capable of assisting any marine vessel.

For increased safety and sure guidance, additional radar systems and navigational aids, such as beacons, buoys and lights, will be installed throughout the routes. This will not only improve safety for tankers, but for all marine traffic on the north coast.

It’s more than a pipeline.

It’s a path to delivering energy safely.
