Jobs conference starts today WHAT’S BEING called a landmark gathering starts today as more than 100 people begin to consider what’s needed to provide a trained workforce for any number of major industrial projects either underway or planned for the region. The object is to connect employers with training agencies and institutions to ensure the right number of people with the right kind of skills are ready when needed, explains Don Ramsay, the or-

ganizer of Partnerships 2020. “I’d hate to think this will result in people walking away and saying they’ve been to a conference,” said Ramsay last week. “I would want this to be something where the actual work begins.” He’s also hoping there will be a foundation of collaboration and cooperation established so that needs of both employers and trainers can be identified and met. “We hope that cooperation be-

tween companies will be better than competing for workers,” said Ramsay. There’s also an element of education for companies that should take place for successful projects here, he added. “The companies that are coming here are very, very large. They each have their own history and all have different ways of doing things,” said Ramsay. “Not all will recognize the his-

tory and the different kind of environment that is here in the northwest.” “People are as much a resource as any mineral in the ground,” said Ramsay. Any kind of northwest employee training strategy must also recognize the region’s substantial aboriginal population because of the potential number of workers it can produce, he added. Research prepared by govern-

Name change sought for Sockeye Creek By Josh Massey THE name Sockeye Creek doesn't sit right for local residents who have a passion for local history. Terrace city councillor Lynne Christiansen believes it should be changed back to its original name Eliza Creek in acknowledgement of an important figure in local history – a female icon central to both aboriginal and settler culture. Eliza was a sister to Kitselas chief Walter Wright and after marrying Tom Thornhill from England, the couple settled down to live in a cabin near the Kitselas Canyon on the Skeena River in 1892. Eliza was also a trapper and would routinely hike to her trapline located near a creek that eventually bore her name. But the name was changed to Sockeye Creek sometime in the 1930s. Both Christiansen and former Thornhill Kitimat-Stikine regional district director Les Watmough have tried unsuccessfully at different times to get the name restored. “We've brought it up before but the staff runs into roadblocks and it fades away,” Christiansen said. Christiansen raised the issue once again at the February Kitimat-Stikine regional district meet-

ing where she sits as a City of Terrace director as well as last week at a city council meeting. Sockeye Creek is wrong for several reasons, said Watmough. It’s his belief that a group of summer surveyors from federal fisheries who came through the area sometime in the 1930s were responsible. The problem began when the surveyors changed the name of a larger creek known to the locals as Sockeye Creek located south of Terrace. “Their leader was a bureaucrat. Williams was his name. They disregarded the local map and changed Sockeye to Williams,” Watmough said of the surveyors. Having placed the name of the group leader on their own map, Watmough said they now had to find a new creek on which to stick the name sockeye. They found another nearby, the one locals called Eliza. Apparently aware of what he had done, Watmough said, Williams pencilled in the note “officially Eliza Creek” on his survey map. What further riles Watmough is the fact that Sockeye Creek is home to more coho salmon than it is to sockeye.

ment-sponsored bodies suggest that should the number of largescale projects being planned get underway, close to 6,000 workers will be needed in the next decade on the construction projects. But while the focus now may be on construction requirements, Ramsay said it’s also important to consider the kind of jobs that will be required as projects begin their operations phase.

Roberts returned to top spot flying fish at Kitsumkalum First Nation

... cooking, living, giving

DON ROBERTS has been re-elected chief councillor of the Kitsumkalum First Nation. Roberts received 179 votes compared to 23 for Ritchie Inkster, 20 for Cynthia Wunderlich and nine for Jim Cooley when ballots were counted on election day Feb. 26. Cooley had withdrawn from the race but did not do so in time so that his name could be officially removed from the ballot. This will be a fourth two-year term for Roberts. Cynthia Bohn is returning as a councillor with 131 votes as are Lisa Wesley with 117 votes, Wayne Bolton with 114 votes, Troy Sam with 103 votes and Susan Spalding with 89 votes. Kathy Wesley with 97 votes and Tracy Sam with 82 votes are new council members. Twenty-three people ran for council. The newly-chosen council meets for the first official time next month.

There are seven councillors on the new council compared to six before. That’s because of the Kitsumkalum First Nation’s population growth. Indian Act requirements indicate that there should be one councillor for every 100 people; the Kitsumkalum population has now passed the 700 mark. Roberts said his top priorities are continuing to work on a land claims treaty, economic development and ensuring that the Kitsumkalum First Nation has an interest in all of its lands and not just ones that would be considered as core lands under a treaty and economic development. “Our lands go down the Skeena River and right to the marine coast,” said Roberts of his latter priority. And just as important is ensuring the Kitsumkalum have a commercial and sustainable fishery component in

Mayor has a new job promoting energy hub TERRACE MAYOR Dave Pernarowski has a new job working for a company that wants to convert an abandoned mining town northwest of here into an energy hub. Pernarowski took up his position with Kitsault Energy as its community and First Nations director in early February and spent part of last week at a liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry conference in Vancouver. Kitsault was built specifically as a town to house those who worked at a nearby molybdenum mine and their families on Alice Arm but was abandoned in the early 1980s after being open only for a short time when the mine closed after the price for the ore collapsed. It has been maintained ever since and the site was put up for sale, eventually being bought by real estate and medical technology entrepreneur Krishan Suthanthiran in 2005 . He initially viewed it as a location for a number of purposes, including a high-end resort, by emphasizing its remote and pristine attributes. That direction’s now changed with a growing number of companies wishing to build natural gas pipelines to the coast to feed

planned liquefied natural gas plants to then supply growing energy needs in Asia. “Mr. Suthanthiran sees this opportunity as a real benefit to the region in terms of providing an ideal location for LNG operations (shortest pipeline route, existing community infrastructure to accommodate up to 1000 people, deep water access), creating jobs in the Nass Valley ...,” said Pernarowski of the formation of Kitsault Energy. The BG Group is one company wanting to build an LNG plant near Prince Rupert. It has chosen Spectra Energy to build a pipeline from northeastern B.C. to its planned plant location and Spectra has picked out three route options, one of which would enter the water in the Kitsault area before turning south to Prince Rupert. “Kitsault Energy would be interested in forming partnerships with any major LNG proponent looking for a suitable site,” said Pernarowski. “There are a limited site options for LNG terminals and deep water ports in the region. We feel that Kitsault provides a very unique opportunity in location and existing infrastructure to

these LNG proponents.” Suthanthiran made his fortune in real estate in the United States and then branched out into the medical technology field, including oncology services and products, and has manufacturing facilities in Canada. He’s also established a foundation called the Best Cure Foundation which its website says is to “eradicate contagious disease, malnutrition and poverty, and provide superior healthcare at low cost.” “I’m excited to be involved with an organization that will bring jobs and economic prosperity to the region and that is focused on giving back through a foundation that seeks to promote global healthcare and education,” said Pernarowski. Pernarowski said he was asked by Suthanthiran to join Kitsault Energy. He had been working as an account manager for industrial supply company AcklandsGrainger, a job he had taken just a few months before joining Kitsault Energy. Prior to that, Pernarowski was with the Provincial Networking Group, an agency that works with people who have developmental disabilities.

Schools, students embrace anti-bullying message on Feb. 27

anna killen, josh massey and margaret speirs photos

ANTI-BULLYING day Feb. 27 was marked by a number of events at local schools. Students, teachers and staff of the schools either wore pink t-shirts or displayed other pink symbols. Photos clockwise from above: Cassie Hall students Hailey Johnson, Lajos Rozsos and Kaydence Reece, along with their classmates, started the day with a breakfast of pancakes, sausage, an orange slice and orange juice before listening to three speakers and watching two videos about not bullying others. About 650 pancakes and 300 sausages were supplied by Don Diego’s. Ksan House Society gave out pink shirt stickers to students, staff and parent volunteers at Cassie Hall. At Skeena Middle School, PAC member Sean Bujtas helped provide each student with a SMS-specific pink t-shirt and all were invited to sign a huge anti-bullying banner put up in the school’s common area. There was also an anti-bullying assembly in the morning, complete with YouTube videos and a discussion on the origins of Pink Shirt Day. Meanwhile, at the Clarence Michiel building at Suwilaawks Community School, the school combined its daily morning exercise program with information about anti-bullying.

EDITORIAL

Ban plan THE STORIES of the lengths some anglers will take to protect their favoured fishing spots are legendary and border on religious fervour – taking circuitous routes so as to avoid others catching on, not lighting fires so that wood smoke will not give away their location. It’s this kind of fervour critics say is driving a proposed change to provincial fishing regulations. The change would ban the keeping of any char or trout caught from area rivers and streams and is based on anecdotal evidence that shows an all or nothing approach is needed to safeguard stocks. Those opposing this proposal would cheerfully call themselves ordinary anglers, fishing for the pleasure of doing so as part of a northern lifestyle. They allege that those pushing for the catch ban are elitist in nature, have the ear of policymakers and are experienced in the dark art of bureaucratic maneuvering. Truth be told, these two camps have always existed and it doesn’t take much to polarize debate when it comes to the use of a resource – be it fish, wildlife or anything else, for that matter. Any decision made must be inclusive rather than exclusive, ensuring the parallel requirements of outdoor enjoyment and conservation. Governments are often accused of making decisions behind closed doors. This is one decision that needs to be made underneath the brilliant sunshine of a northern spring day.

Be wary of sharing information online

recent study from UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) suggests that seniors’ brains are more vulnerable to being scammed, reports Good Times magazine in its February, 2013 issue, “and another study from the University of Iowa offers a reason: the part of the brain that controls a person’s level of doubt and skepticism (the ventromedial prefrontal cortex) becomes damaged with age, leaving us more vulnerable to persuasion. That makes it harder for older people to trust their instincts when it comes to misleading advertising or people trying to defraud them.” Allowing anyone to take remote control of your computer is a dicey thing to do. Be cautious. Twice in recent years I have allowed a trustworthy, qualified person to take over my computer to help me. The first time, I had bought a replacement Lexmark printer from Mississauga and knew trying to program it myself would take me hours, lead to frustration, and might eventually require qualified help to unsnarl my mess to get things right.

My bank wasn’t open Saturdays and I’ve never had a credit card, so those methods of payment were unavailable to me. But transfer by Western Union proved convenient for both of us. The Western Union in Fort St. John was within a block of the home of the SPCA manager; I sent the money to her in her name. In Terrace, Safeway is a Western Union agent.

The Mail Bag New dump in wrong location

Senate should be the target Dear Sir: Prime Minister Harper’s announcement that Employment Insurance monies are lost due to lack of policing is correct. He is, however, addressing the wrong perpetrators. It is not the employed who are ripping off the system. On the contrary. Almost half of the workers who along with their employers are paying into the plan are not and will not receive any money back. The largest amount gone missing is the $50 billion-plus skimmed off the plan, by the

federal government, illegally according to the courts. During my 14 years serving on E.I. appeals boards I learned that workers who are cheating represent a miniscule percentage of claims. Harper’s fraud squad will not discover the missing hundreds of millions of fraudulent claims gone missing according to the Prime Minister. It is noteworthy that back in my day, when Service Canada, also known as the Ministry of Human Misery, was actually staffed, a small number of em-

ployees were engaged in prevention and disclosure of those engaged in fraud. Their section of the building was jokingly known as Baker Street (Sherlock Holmes’ address). My guess is that with the huge cuts to staff, the handful of employees left at “Service Canada” have little time to investigate claims. The appeal tribunals that I served on has also been eliminated, and replaced with 70 of Mr. Harper’s closest friends. Presumably a board selected by the community where

the worker lives is too impartial and will occasionally rule in favour of the worker. Way too liberal for this government. It may also be that he needed to find jobs for his friends since the Prime Minister has only been able to appoint 50 persons to the Senate. That’s the place where you can receive $50,000 per year by pretending to live somewhere else. It’s the same Senate Harper said he would change or dissolve.

Dear Sir: The fundamental flaw of the Forceman Ridge Landfill is that it is in the wrong place. For whatever reason in the early 1990s, without public involvement, it was decided that the site of the landfill would be on the hill, east of Onion Lake and then began the process to demonstrate that this was a suitable site. Starting in 1997, three wells were dug indicating that the site was sitting on a great depth of porous sand and gravel. After preliminary study it was concluded that no leachate would be going into the Lakelse Lake system (instead it went to the Kitimat River) and in 2002 an application for land and permitting was made. By the end of 2006 a dozen wells were in place and these showed leachate flows headed toward upper Clearwater Lake. The opposite of what had been thought. This triggered a further two wells to be installed and by the end of 2009 the flow to Clearwater was confirmed. None of this information was shared with Fisheries, Environment Canada, BC Parks or the public. However the permit for the landfill was issued in 2008. None of this information was shared with the public. Now that approaching a million dollars have been spent on this proposal we’re being told that treated leachate to the tune of quarter of a million liters per day will be dumped at the site but not to worry, it will meet aquatic standards. No amount of expert mitigation (technology, knowledge and wisdom continue to unfold) can guarantee that this site will not fail sometime in the next 100 years and beyond.

Gas prosperity fund just doesn’t add up

really think someone should tell Premier Christy Clark to have a look at a calendar, specifically what year it is. Then explain to her that elections in this province are held every four years. I say this because, judging by the February 12 throne speech, she’s a little confused. I refer to the bold announcement of the BC Prosperity Fund, to be financed by a new tax on the LNG industry, which will accumulate enough money to pay off the province’s deficit, eliminate the provincial sales tax, improve social services, increase education funding, build vital infrastructure and put a Rolls Royce in everyone’s driveway (okay, I made up that last one). Now that’s all good stuff, but those good times aren’t going to roll any time soon. While the BC LNG Co-op in Kitimat may get into production in 2015, the revenue from an export tax on that small facility is not going to make much of a dent

in the deficit, let alone do anything else. As for the big boys looking at plants in that community – Chevron and Shell – a realistic assessment suggests they won’t be in full production until mid-2017 at the earliest, 2018 more likely. And for any of the proposed plants for Prince Rupert it will be sometime after that. In other words, substantial LNG export tax revenue is not going to start pouring into this new fund until after the election in May 2017. Which means Clark has essentially promised a brave new world that she can’t possibly deliver within the four-year mandate of the government to be elected in three months’ time. Where I am confused too – as are gas patch players – is that she should even suggest such a tax. I am going to throw out a few facts here to explain why we are confused. First, in September 2011, while editor of The Northern

GUEST COMMENT

MALCOLM BAXTER Sentinel in Kitimat, I interviewed Clark’s parliamentary secretary, John Les. This is what he told me in answer to a question about whether the province could actually create the jobs it was touting: “It’s not for government to actually do the job creation, that’s what the private sector does so well.” Rather government’s job

was to create the conditions that helped the private sector create those jobs. And subsequently his boss made it clear she was ready to move Heaven and Earth to help the LNG industry create those jobs. Second, the throne speech says, “Our province faces fierce competition from Australia.” Third, a government document released in the same week as the throne speech says Australia’s natural gas tax and royalty set up “is up to one-third higher than BC’s.” So, apparently we have an edge on our “fierce” Aussie competitors. And what’s our response? Jack up the costs of LNG in B.C. You see my problem? It gets even more baffling. Prior to the throne speech, the president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers said the industry wanted LNG plants to be reclassified as manufacturing plants rather than part of the

gas transmission process. If that happened, the companies would be able to write off 90 percent of their capital investments over seven years rather than over 27 years. That’s important because it would let the LNG plant owners off the hook for an estimated $1.5 billion dollars in federal taxes – minimum. Which obviously increases their competitive advantage. So the industry is lobbying the federal government for a tax break while the province promises to slap one on? Bizarre. One last point: the New Democrats have been quick to pour scorn on the Prosperity Fund fantasy. But not a word on whether they, if elected in May as looks likely, might follow the same path.

Target the Senate Interesting enough his fraud squad will only be investigating workers, not employers, although during my term our appeals saw several employers that were found guilty of illegal activities. Perhaps Mr. Harper’s expectation is that employers will vote for him.

It seems to me that Mr. Harper should investigate high rolling Senators, whose expense accounts alone exceed total income for 3-4 workers rather than harass workers trying to provide for their families and make them repay all ill gotten gains including fines equivalent to those paid by E.I.

From Page A7

It’s in wrong spot This stuff lasts forever contaminating the Clearwater Lakes system, the protected ecological wetlands at the South end of Lakelse Lake, the Lakelse Lake

itself and then downstream to the Skeena by way of the Lakelse River, a rare class 1 fishing area. Sure the regional district has done its best

to make a bad decision better. But the reality is – it is a bad decision and a bad idea. Cheryl Brown, Terrace, B.C.

And that’s the truth Dear Sir: Regarding your Feb. 13 front page story on local resident Barry Prince’s call for an end to fluoridation of city water. My kid brother was born in Kitimat in 1954,

a community that added fluoride to its water. The family moved to England six years later and a year or so after that my parents, being great believers in dental health, sent my brother for his first check up.

The English dentist was astonished that he had absolutely no cavities – England did not at that time fluoridate its water. And with that I rest my case. Malcolm Baxter, Terrace. B.C.

Unnamed officer Dear Sir: “The officer is the same officer in both cases and is currently suspended from duty with pay”. (‘Officer used excessive force’ February 27). Both cases involve serious assaults on Canadian citizens resulting in injuries to each. The recipients are prominently and repeatedly named in the article – Mr Watts is named 9 times; Mr. Wright, 7. But the name of their assailant is apparently covered by the Witless Protection programme or some other Cloak of Impunity, because it is nowhere to be found in your article. I wonder if that would also have been your Standard of reporting if the injured men had been Mounties and the perpetrator been civilian? Just curious. John How, Terrace, B.C.

Cain returns home By Margaret Speirs

A PROVINCIAL court judge has turned down an application to destroy a dog accused of being dangerous, saying a local government had failed to prove its case. Cain, a German shepherd, had been kept in the Kitimat-Stikine regional district animal shelter in Thornhill since last April while the regional district sought the destruction order. But in a ruling Feb. 28, Judge Brian Neal said none of the conditions to declare the dog dangerous had been satisfied. Cain had not been proven to be a danger to kill or seriously injure a person or another animal by his actions, said Neal in ordering the dog be returned to owner Paul MacNeil of Thornhill. “The application to destroy Cain is denied and he is to be released forthwith [to MacNeil],” said Neal, adding that he was not going to make an order of conditions that MacNeil had to follow in order to get the dog back. The court case began last year but was then adjourned and took up two days of testimony this week. “I don’t know whether to laugh or cry,” said MacNeil after court and again when he picked up Cain from the Thornhill animal shelter later in the afternoon of Feb. 28. On April 5, 2012, MacNeil heard a commotion and noted Cain had got out of his backyard and a large board was out of his fence, which had allowed the animal to escape, said Neal, reviewing the circumstances before sentencing. A mother and her two sons were out for a walk when they encountered Cain, court heard.

At the intersection of Mountain View and Toynbee, Cain sniffed at the younger boy and bit his arm, which was an unprovoked attack, said Neal. The boy’s mom picked him up and used her foot to keep Cain away, court heard. Her older boy began to run for home and Cain followed, jumped on his back, knocked him down and stood on his back, court heard. A young boy who was playing street hockey waved his hockey stick to scare Cain away, said Neal. The boy saw Cain run toward another boy down the street and bite at his ankle, court heard. That boy was knocked down into a small ditch and his pant

leg was torn but there was no evidence of a bite or of him being injured, court heard. MacNeil got his other two dogs, Maggie and Trouble, into his truck and drove down the street after Cain; he hoped to entice Cain to get into the truck with them since Cain liked truck rides, court heard. When the mother returned home, she and her husband decided that their young son’s bite wound that broke the skin on his arm didn’t need medical attention, court heard. He didn’t seem to suffer any trauma from the incident whereas the older boy was frightened of dogs and clearly suffered some emotional trauma, court heard.

Cain is back at home after court ruling The parents called the RCMP and an officer came out to talk to MacNeil, who subsequently surrendered Cain, court heard. At the hearing, two experts had varying opinions on whether or not Cain was dangerous, court heard. Local vet Dr. Tom Sager, who has 31 years experience, based his opinion on the assumption that Cain had made two separate attacks on people in three months, court heard. There had been an allegation of Cain attacking an unspecified person in March 2012 but there was no evidence to confirm it, court heard. Sager concluded that Cain was intelligent but aggressive with regard to small children and recommended euthanasia although he never interviewed MacNeil to learn Cain’s earlier history, court heard. Veterinarian Dr. Rebecca Ledger, who is also a consultant on animal behaviour, examined Cain in November 2012 and again in late February of this year based on certain assumptions from MacNeil and some

not admitted into evidence, court heard. She assumed Cain had been struck by a vehicle and concluded that he was under mild to moderate levels of stress but not considered a vicious dog, court heard. Afterward, she agreed that even if Cain had not been injured, her opinion would still be the same, said Neal. During the time Cain was at the shelter since April 5, 2012, MacNeil had difficulties planning visits with Cain and was unsuccessful in attempts to get Cain moved to a Kitimat Humane Society shelter, which he believed had better living conditions, court heard. There is no doubt that Cain injured the younger boy and his skin was broken with bruising, however no medical treatment was sought, court heard. “I find the absence of medical treatment did not result in serious injury,” said Neal. He added he did not want to “trivialize the wound” but could not come to the conclusion Cain was a dangerous dog on a bal-

ance of probabilities. As for emotional trauma, he couldn’t find that it constituted serious injury and there were no implications on the boy’s daily life. There had been no clear professional evidence that Cain was violent or vicious or had been prior to this incident, and there had been no intervention by animal control officers before this incident, said Neal. He had no concern that MacNeil was unable to care for his dog or unable to manage the dog’s safety with the exception of his prior failure to obtain licences for his dogs. After court, at the Thornhill animal shelter, MacNeil said he had licences for his other two dogs and was going to take Cain to the Kitimat Humane Society for assessment. The case has sparked widespread social media comment with supporters of Cain in particular advocating that he be moved to the Kitimat shelter where they said living conditions were better pending a conclusion of the hearing.

Partners for the long term

Get the training and support you need to find and keep a job in B.C.

For decades, respect has been fundamental to Enbridge’s communication with Aboriginal groups across Canada. Among other considerations, that means developing sensitivity and an understanding of the values and issues important to them.

Job search resources • Personal employment planning • Workshops and training • Specialized services

As discussion about Gateway has evolved and progressed with Aboriginal communities in B.C., one thing groups have told us, in unequivocal terms, is that they wanted meaningful, long-term involvement in the labour force. That’s why we established a $3 million Gateway Education and Training Fund. This is an initiative for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities that’s not dependent, in any way, upon Gateway approval. This fund supports training initiatives based in the pipeline, construction, and energy sectors. This isn’t training for the sake of training; it’s focused squarely on employment outcomes. And Enbridge is already connecting industry and community to help create career opportunities in B.C.

We’ve already co-funded training programs for surveyors and ironworkers. We’re purchasing seats in existing trades programs, and partnering with provincial and federal bodies to help develop skilled tradespeople in the areas of heavy equipment operation, pipefitting, welding, and construction craft labouring. We’ve also co-ordinated the

first of many “workforce connections” workshops, bringing together representatives of Gateway equity First Nations and companies with labourforce needs for some meaningful employment discussion. We’ve heard, loud and clear, from Aboriginal communities in B.C. that they no longer want to be bypassed by economic opportunities created within, near, or around them. With the Gateway Education and Training Fund, we’re doing something about it. We’re showing true commitment to community and workforce development. And the opportunities we’re sponsoring are not exclusive to our proposed project or our industry — they’re regional and cross-sector in nature. We want to stay connected to the Aboriginal community because it makes good business sense. But our intentions go beyond basic business: It’s about partnership. It’s about responsibility. And, ultimately, it’s about respect.

Court of appeal targets conflicts By Josh Massey TERRACE CITY Councillor Marylin Davies wants to address the implications of a B.C. Court of Appeal’s “potentially far-reaching decision” about conflicts of interest involving elected officials. On January 13 the B.C. Court of Appeal overturned a ruling in the Schlenker v. Torgrimson Supreme Court case and decided it was in fact illegal according to the Community Charter for two elected officials on Salt Spring Island to have cast votes to provide money to non-profit organizations on which they sat as directors. Conflict of interest is now considered pecuniary (in other words to involve money) even if the director of the non-profit is a volunteer who wouldn’t directly benefit from the money provided. “The effect of the court decision could mean that elected officials will no longer be able to participate in non-profit societies that rely on money from local government,” said a Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) February report. According to Davies the precedent set by Schlenker v. Torgrimson has the potential to open a whole slew of conflict of interest scenarios based on suspicions and the “casting of aspersions.”

Davies called this “truly a disaster for small towns where community minded citizens often sit on boards of their own choosing ... I have no doubt we will talk about this as it affects us. As well as taking direction from UBCM.” “These two [councillors] formed an island trust out of Salt Spring but they were the only directors,” Davies said of the maverick move by island officials to fund environmental groups without following protocol, in effect complicating life for elected officials around B.C. The two Salt Spring officials didn’t run in the subsequent general election and the repayment section 191 of the Community Charter does not apply to conflict of interest issues, according to one legal bulletin. “It used to be that you excused yourself. You were the one who would decide if you were in conflict,” Davies said. In its letter the UBCM is clear about the implications. It states: “The elected official could be disqualified from office if they vote on matters that would benefit the society financially, even if there is no personal financial benefit to them.” There was no formal discussion by council following the presentation by Davies as to what next steps it might want to take.

Around Town Artwork on sale for Ksan House LOCAL ARTIST Joe Mandur Jr. has produced a new print, copies of which he wants to sell to help out the Ksan House Society. “O the Joy of Love” is the latest in a series of art pieces Mandur has produced on behalf of various agencies and groups. He’s already provided 15 “O the Joy of Love” prints to the society to use as gifts of appreciation and now has 30 ready to sell. “So that makes 45 prints altogether,” said Mandur of his commitment to the Ksan House Society. Society executive director Carol Sabo welcomed the prospect of financial assistance. “We just appreciate any participation from the community,” she said. The proceeds from the Mandur art sales will most likely go toward the food budget of the society’s transition house, Sabo added. And some might help with community programs run by the society.

Skills Canada expands trades discovery the annual Skills Canada Competition comes to Northwest Community College March 8 with a focus on the public part of the event this year. “Yes, there is substantially more emphasis on the Discover Trades portion of the event – hands-on activities for public to try out skills when they are here, get a feel for what kind of skills are required in the various trades,” said Seth Downs, manager, events and conferences at Northwest Community College.

Help get youth shelter here kermode friendship Society is looking for the public to take part in a survey about getting a youth shelter/drop-in centre here. The 24-hour Youth Centre and Homeless Shelter Feasibility Study will be for the benefit of everyone in the city, said Karin Ljungh, development coordinator for the society. Currently, the city doesn’t have anywhere for homeless males age 16 to 18 to go for shelter and they don’t have any access to support services after regular work hours either, she said. Kermode Friendship Society is doing the study through the Homelessness Partnership Strategy Project with money from Human Resources and Social Development. Community development coordinators from the society and their assistants began handing out the short survey, asking questions and collecting data Feb. 15. The survey only takes about five minutes to complete. The online survey can be found at http:// www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=7HB6lt WJ0I5fQ2oV3_2bpo0Q_3d_3d.

Finding the humour Book shows parody and satire in works of 28 Northwest Coast artists By MARGARET SPEIRS A NEW book shows the humour in Northwest native art, something that has existed for years, even since prehistoric times, but seldom seen or acknowledged. Carrying On “irregardless”: Humour in Contemporary Northwest Coast Art shows colourful works in which the artists make fun of themselves and have fun with stereotypes. That includes local artist Tahltan-Tlingit artist Dempsey Bob and Nisga’a artist Norman Tait, who was born in Kincolith. Martine Reid, who edited the book and wrote some of the text said the idea for the book had been maturing in her mind for quite a while. “I lived with Bill Reid for 25 years and he had a very wicked sense of humour,” she said about her late husband and world renowned Haida artist. “Whenever there was an occasion for laughter, it was always there. It was never missed.” She said they talked about visual puns, and to understand them, you have to know the language and humour is not always obvious. Humour had not been seen in northwest coast art and that was because in the 19th century, the people who were documenting the culture felt it was a dying culture and laughter was not part of their mandate, she said. Looking at books by archaeologists or at prehistoric art, everything is serious. Her friend, Peter Morin, a Tahltan standup comedian, writer, curator and artist thought her idea for the book was a great idea. When they went looking for humour in

book shows humour in artwork that for a long time wasn’t seen – even though it’s been present in art all the way back to prehistoric times. art at museums, people didn’t know what they was talking about. “He was saying to everyone ‘I’m looking for the funny,’ ‘will you show me the funny on the northwest coast,’ and they really did not know what he was looking for,” said Reid. They did find a stone bowl from prehistoric time with a smile on it. “It’s a prehistoric 3,000-year-old smile,” she said, adding that although nothing is known about the piece, except that it was done by an unknown Coast Salish artist, it shows that laughter has always

been in the art. “There is a great diversity of how artists construct stereotypes or break down stereotypes by taking them back and sending them back to the white people almost as a weapon. “They were claiming the stereotypes, some had been harmful and they were presenting them in a position of power and more or less sending them back,” she said. The books shows Dempsey Bob’s work as copied by Skeena Reece to make fun of Emily Carr copying native art. Pieces like Gwaai

Edenshaw’s Bear Bum or Bill Reid’s Raven Skiing are done to please the artist and while funny works aren’t considered seriously, she would like to change that. Art Wilson’s Marshmallow Wars is the first time marshmallows made it into the art world and is about a true story, she said. Pop art shows up in Sonny Assu’s work Coke Salish, with a Coca-cola sign that reads Coast Salish and Shawn Hunt’s Trickster, an Andy Warhol parody of a raven standing on a Campbell’s soup can.

Ellen Neel’s Totem Pole, pictured on the back of the book, shows a chicken posing like a thunderbird on top and the raven, the trickster, looking down instead of ahead. “I hope that they will have the further curiosity to look at the work with a different gaze from now on and try to see what is being hidden and what is being said,” said Reid about what she hopes readers get from the book. “When do you hear people laughing in galleries? That’s what we said: we want to hear people laugh,” she said.

Cesario Ciffolilli Sr.

Oct. 13, 1935 - Feb. 21, 2013 Cesario passed away February 21, 2013 after a seven year fight with cancer. Survived by his wife Barbara, children Sandra (Udo), Deena (Don), Michelle (Scott), Cesario Jr. (Cindy) and grandchildren, Caesar, Amanda, Erin, Sonia and Dino. Also left are his two sisters Anna, Rosa and numerous nieces and nephews in Italy. Born in Vasto, Italy he immigrated to Canada in 1957 for what was suppose to be a one year work stint, which turned into 56. He worked in the local sawmills before owning Shefield & Sons. He spent the last 17 years doing the things he enjoyed, his garden, traveling, fishing and his most favourite passion, biking. He was very proud of the medals and accomplishments he received from biking in the senior games. The funeral was held Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2013 at Sacred Heart Parish in Terrace, B.C. A special thank you to Dr. Appleton who he considered a friend, as well as his doctor and to the nursing staff at Mills Memorial Hospital. Another thank you to Father Terry for the comfort and support given to all at this time. Ciffolilli Family

In Memoriam

In Loving Memory of

Donald Robert Collison September 23, 1950 - March 11, 2012

Always in Our Thoughts Forever in Our Hearts With love, Your Family

Obituaries

Kathleen “Babe” Rose Doeleman August 16, 1943 - February 17, 2013 Babe passed away peacefully in Abbotsford Hospital with her family at her side. She dealt with her last days with strength dignity and courage. Babe was a wonderful wife, mother, grand-mother, sister and friend. She is predeceased by her loving husband Con and survived by her sons Bill (Lorraine), Connal (Sandra) and Greg (Beth) and 8 loving grandchildren, Ross, Brandon, Phillip, Scott, Brinn, Gracie, Evie, Christina and great granddaughter Abby. Babe asked that you celebrate her memory in your own way. I know that she is having a big glass of white wine somewhere with my Dad right now. Please remember all the fantastic times you enjoyed with her. If you feel you need to do something, please donate to the Heart & Stroke Foundation on her behalf. This is such a worthy cause and this disease has greatly impacted our family. Babe is gone but will never be forgotten. She will be missed by all.

Spectacular win for Midget reps Provincials are next after winning zones in Smithers By Contributed The Terrace Totem Ford Midget Reps squared off against their toughest competitor this season, Smithers, on Smithers’ home ice for the first game of Northwest Zones on Friday, Feb. 22. The game was very tight, with Smithers in the lead by one in the third. With only four seconds left on the clock Terrace tied it up, making it 2-2 with a goal from Nikita Desjarlais assisted from Ryan Roseboom and Curtis Hull. Saturday’s play started with a game against Rupert, last year’s zone champs, who also put forward a strong game against them but Terrace prevailed in the end with a 6-5 victory. The afternoon game saw Terrace playing Kitimat with a final score of 10-1 for Terrace. But, wait, not so fast. Due to an infraction by Terrace from a previous game suspension, this game ended up being forfeited and the decision was made that Terrace and Kitimat had to replay the game the next day. In the rematch, Terrace defeat-

ed Kitimat once again with a score of 7-2, advancing Terrace to the final game against Smithers later on Sunday. Terrace then squared off once again against the team whom they had never beaten all regular season long – Smithers. The game was very tight with intense action at both ends. Terrace was up 1-0 after the first period with a goal from Colin Bell assisted from Colten Braid. Smithers answered back with a power play goal late in the second, tying the game 1-1. But Terrace fought back hard and scored the go-ahead goal with 39 seconds left on the clock in the second period, a beamer slap shot, power play goal from Colten Braid assisted by Austin Turner and Kyle Jephson. Smithers answered back on another power play in the third to tie the game again with only five minutes left in regulation time, taking the game to OT. With outstanding goaltending at both ends Terrace’s Brandon Ryan Jensen PHOTO Thandi’s played a solid game in net. terrace’s Nikita Desjarlais breaks away from the pack during Midget Northwest Zones in Smithers Cont’d Page 23 last month.

Skeena Grade 8’s play near perfect season Despite a late start to the season, Skeena's Grade 8 Girls Basketball went into the 2012/13 Northwest Zones, hosted at Prince Rupert Middle School on Feb. 9, 2013, ranked number one in the league and ended up winning zones. The team struggled with finding a coach at the beginning of the year until Skeena's Athletic Director, Frank Marrelli, phoned Toni and Kevin Nisyok and asked them to volunteer to coach the girls. The Nisyok's had a difficult decision to make as almost 30 girls turned out for the first of three tryouts. “We tried to ween out players by running the girls hard at the first two session, however, they all kept up with the work outs and attended the third session,” said Toni Nisyok. “It was very hard to have to drop 14 girls.” The 15 girls that made the squad won seven out of eight games throughout the year, earning their first ranked spot and heading into zones feeling confident. The zones were set up as a one day event, meaning a “Five Team Single Elimination” tournament format. The five teams to attend were: Prince Rupert Middle School (PRMS), Mount Elizabeth Senior Secondary (MESS), Hazelton, Skeena Middle School (SMS), and Smithers Senior Secondary. The first game saw MESS versus Hazelton at 9:30 a.m. with MESS winning that game. PRMS had the second game against Smithers – with PRMS advancing to the finals.

Skeena Middle School played their game at 12:30 p.m. against MESS, a well-fought game with SMS winning 38-26. Brittany Peden was the leading scorer with 14 points, followed by Emma Kenmuir with six points; Shivohn Peters dropped four points; and Ashley Nisyok, Michaela Barton, Brianna Ouellet, Megan Bellamy, Marrick Zips, Briana Greer and Caitlyn Amyotte all dropped one bucket to help the team advance to the finals, set for 3:30 p.m later that day. “We knew it was going to be PRMS that we met in the finals” said coach Toni. “The girls were pretty tense about the game so we sat outside the gym in a huddle to talk this over,” she said, noting she ended up agreeing to let them cream her with pie if the team won to keep spirits calm. “It was all fun and games,” she said. “During the warm up the girls were giggling and asking what kind of pie I liked. I was happy to see them so relaxed. I knew they would come out hard.” Skeena started with Pedan, Kenmuir, Zips, Peters and Nisyok. The girls were told that the subbing would be coming hard and fast so to give it their all – which they did. The starting line up took off with Kenmuir scoring the first bucket and Peden scoring the second before PRMS got on the board. But Skeena pressed on and the score for the first quarter was 10-2 for the Terrace team.

The third quarter continued with SMS scoring 12 points to PRMS' three, making the score 34-11. Nisyok slowed the girls down in the third quar-

ter for a final score of 40-17 for SMS. “Kevin and I just want to thank all the girls for their hard work and dedication,” said Nisyok. “It really showed in the finals. We were so proud to be a part of this team. We really enjoyed working with you.”

o, I read in the Vancouver Sun, on-line edition, (because, I’ve become technologically hip) that the Neo-Conservative Liberal Party of BC has introduced legislation that will confer the official fish designation upon the salmon. Unbeknownst to the fish, they will soon become a provincial emblem. Wow. Now, I have to admit that I wasn’t onside when the Liberals arranged to have the Stellar’s Jay given Bird of the Province status. The appearance of the jay is stellar, I’m forced to admit, but its grating call, a cross of terrier and crow, is annoying. I would have chosen the Herring Gull for its resilience, or, maybe, the varied thrush for its subtle beauty, its understated unvarying call, and its ability to endure all seasons and all weathers without complaint. But, that’s me. The salmon on the other hand is an excellent choice of creature to bear the provincial standard. Looking for a B.C. brand, one simply couldn’t do better than salmon. In B.C., salmon are the heart of the matter. Historically, salmon have been the hub of the wheel. For First Nations they were food and currency, absolutely and undeniably their cultural core. Without salmon they would have perished, and when European immigrants altered the First Nations’

Midget Reps will now travel to BC Provincial Championships in Port Alberni during Spring Break Mar 16-21 representing the Northwest District. The team had a fantastic season, winning 42, losing two, and tying four.

In Swedish, otur means unlucky or no luck. And it’s a word local arm wrestler Allan Heinricks certainly got to know on his recent trip to Sweden. He was there to face off against pro-arm wrestlers – all pros, no handicapped contenders – from all over the world at the Golden Arm competition, held in Eskilstuna, Sweden on Feb. 16. Wheelchair-bound Heinricks is well-known around Terrace for defying the odds and winning provincial, national, and world armwrestling championships. He’s never let his mobility limitations get the better of him, and has a drive for competition that never slows down. But now, he’ll be forced to slow down as a bad infection in his feet has left him in terrible pain, and he was unable to perform to his full potential at the competition. “When you’re competing, 100 per cent of your mind needs to go toward your opponent,” he said, noting that he had to take six T-3s to get through the competition. “But my mind was on my pain.” He put up a good fight for his first pull against a many-time Swedish champion, he said, adding that while he still lost, he slowed his competitor down. “I would’ve won if I was 100 per cent,” he said. “I hate to say it but it would’ve been easy.” He’s been training to use a new technique, doing 145 pound curls,

and says even though he needs to slow down to let his feet heal, that doesn’t mean he’ll stop training. He still plans to head to Vancouver to train and prepare for provincials in August. He says it’s tough to lose because he wants to perform well for the many people here who support him. “When I don’t do well it’s a bummer,” he said. But the pain wasn’t the only thing that went wrong on his trip – a laundry list of issues rounded out the trip: a broken foot brace, a small electrical malfunction that burned up his wheelchair charger, eyeglasses that were stepped on while getting off the plane, and several travel issues – one forgotton booking for his assistant in Sweden, and another mixed up booking that meant he and his assistant had to stay the night in London, at a cost of over $450. “I couldn’t believe it,” he said, speaking to the expense. “And that was the Holiday Inn, nothing fancy.” But dispite the bad luck, Heinricks is in good spirits, as ever, and even says Sweden might be the best place he’s been so far, for the people and the scenery. “It’s beautiful,” he said. “Just gorgeous. I want to go there in the summer sometime.” And he also praised his assistant, Emily, who helped get him through some of the tough times in Europe, and all of the other people who have supported him. “I just want them to know I really appreciate them helping.”

pipelines that will have to cross numerous salmon streams. Shouldn’t we expect the party promoting salmon as the provincial fish to ensure that a thorough impact assessment of each crossing be done by government staff, or that, at the very least, all assessments done by private contractors are reviewed by our employees in the ministry before any development goes ahead? Not happening. And, wasn’t it the Liberals that against public opinion, scientific and historical evidence – and the sad experience of numerous countries throughout the world – imported exotic salmon to this coast and established net pen salmon farming knowing that doing so would introduce millions of tonnes of pollution into invaluable marine habitat while killing the ultra productive and irreplaceable ocean floor? And, wasn’t it the same Liberals, with ample evidence from around the globe that sea lice outbreaks go hand in glove with salmon farms and that sea lice imperil wild salmon, caused the same problem to our coast? I can’t think of one single instance where our Liberal government under Campbell or Clark did one single thing for wild Pacific Salmon, which leads me to conclude that they are exceedingly cynical, or that by making salmon the provincial fish, they must mean Atlantic Salmon.

School musicians stage telethon

Employment foundations focus of local conference Still, Ramsay said the foundations for a prepared workforce begin in the school system and in the family. Even ensuring that people have driver’s licences is a crucial part of a person’s start toward the start of rewarding employment. Conference speakers include key provincial government officials as well as industry representatives including Mark Premo, the newly-hired chief operating officer for Avanti Mining, the company which is now waiting to hear if the provincial government will approve of its plan to open a molybdendum mine at

Kitsault northwest of here. The conference continues until March 8 at the Terrace Best Western Inn. Partnerships 2020 draws its support from sponsors and from grants provided by the federal and provincial governments. That federal and provincial support is being funneled through the Skeena Nass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics (SNCIRE) which then hired Ramsay. Partnerships 2010 is just one of several SNCIRE initiatives being undertaken through the effort to prepare a trained

workforce. The basis to prepare a northwestern workforce began with BC Hydro and its Northwest Transmission Line project which will, when finished, stretch from Terrace north to connect independent power projects to the provincial grid and to provide power to mineral properties. The crown corporation determined there was a gap between the current northwest labour force and what would be needed given the ongoing transmission line project and the projects that will transpire once the transmission line is finished.

SCHOOL BAND students from Caledonia Secondary and Skeena Middle School showcase their talents Sunday, March 10 at the REM Lee Theatre in the 19th annual school band telethon. The Grade 7, Grade 8 and Grade 9 concert bands, the Caledonia concert band, the Caledonia choir and jazz bands from each school will be performing. And closing out the telethon will be the local group, Soul Professors. The telethon begins at 4:30 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m. and will be televised on Channel 10 for those wishing to phone in donations. Money raised goes toward support the various music programs at Caledonia and at Skeena. George Clark will be the master of ceremonies. The telethon was once called the Tri-Band Telethon when Thornhill Junior Secondary School was still open.

“To this day it's not a sockeye creek. It's a coho creek. It runs black with them in the fall.” The last mention of Eliza Creek in local archives is an Omineca Herald newspaper article dating June 1935. It was around that time, says Watmough, that federal fisheries came through on their survey mission. About 20 years ago Watmough submitted a name-change application to the provincial government, however the effort was rejected because Eliza Creek was already in use. The geographic naming policies and procedures form from the provincial ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations states that geographical names represent “a certain aspect of the history and promise of an area that might otherwise be overlooked or forgotten by visitors and later generations.” Chris Gudgeon from the ministry said there is nothing stopping local residents from applying again. They just have to demonstrate adequate community support, he said.
