March against police brutality By MARGARET SPEIRS THE POLICE need to be accountable for their actions. That’s the message behind the International Day Against Police Brutality event here March 15, organized by the wife of a local man who’s allegedly the victim of a police assault last year. “I’m for the police but I am not for police brutality. I am not for excessive force and the lack of accountability [within the police.] We just need the police to do their job,” said Heather Prisk-Wright, wife of Robert Wright, who suffered a brain injury while in police custody after being picked up for drunk driving April 21, 2012. He was taken to hospital here three times before being sent to hospital in New Westminster and now requires full-time care. She has organized a march that starts from the Terrace RCMP detachment and goes down to the courthouse where there will be speakers. Prisk says a sheriff asked her what the courthouse had to do with police brutality and she replied it’s a factor in how provincial prosecutors dealt with her husband’s case. A government lawyer

decided that no police officers would be charged in connection with her husband’s case. “They are related. It’s about accountability,” said Prisk-Wright. She’s been told that Union of BC Indian Chiefs grand chief Stewart Phillip will be here to speak and possibly a BC Civil Liberties Association member will be here, too. “Anyone who would like to be a speaker can contact me,” she said. Her husband won’t likely be part of the march as it’s too much of a walk for him, she said.

For more, turn to “Officer won’t face an assault charge” on page A18 “[It’s also about] how much happens and nobody even gets a slap on the wrist, so for me it’s about raising awareness in the community,” said Prisk-Wright. “The mainstream who do not come into contact with the RCMP don’t really understand how prevalent it is,” she said, referring to police brutality. The International Day Against Police Brutality is on March 15 each year.

Thornhill cellphone tower decision delayed By ANNA KILLEN The lack of reliable cellphone service has been a thorn in the side of Thornhill residents for years, cumulating in a 1,000-plus-signature-strong petition residents sent to Telus last year imploring the company to put up a cellphone tower in the neighbourhood. And area residents are close to getting their wish. Telus, represented by the company Standard Land, is currently consulting with the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine in order to erect a $300,000 75-metre cell

phone tower on Haaland Ave., in an area zoned light industrial and on property owned by Bear Creek Contracting. “We heard from residents that they wanted better wireless coverage, and this tower will bring wireless to the community of Thornhill and about six kilometres of Highway 16. We’re currently in consultation with the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine and the public, and anticipate the site will be onair this year or in early 2014,” said Liz Sauve of Telus media relations. “As part of the consultation process, we posted ads in the news-

paper and also sent information packages directly to all homes and businesses within the direct area of the proposed tower site. Given the routine nature of putting up the site, and the public’s overwhelming support, public meetings were not needed,” she said. But not all residents are in favour. Those who live in the residential area directly near the site are concerned about decreasing property value, health hazards, and what they say is an abundance of other non-residential sites in the area that could be used instead. “There are much more suitable

sites for a cell tower than outside the front of my property,” said Thornhill resident Jodi Belanger in a letter to the regional district. Hers was one of two letters submitted to the planning committee from residents opposed to the tower. “I would like to know who will be responsible for recouping the value of my home as its value will be greatly depreciated once a cell tower is constructed? Also, who is going to take responsibility for my health and the health of my family once we will be subjected to ongoing radiation 24/7?” Her letter of opposition was submitted to

the district as part of the planning committee’s discussions on whether or not it will provide a variance development permit for the site. Because the proposed tower is 64 metres higher than the 11 metre height currently allowed in the area, the board needs to sign off on a variance development permit to allow the taller structure. But before the district signs off on the variance permit, the district has asked Telus to provide it with more information as to why that particular site was chosen and what other sites were considered.

Work steadies out THE NORTHWEST B.C. jobs rate remained steady in February compared to January, reports Statistics Canada. February’s figure of 39,800 jobs was a slight increase of 100 jobs compared to January’s 39,700 jobs. The number of unemployed people remained the same at 3,200, making for an unemployment rate of 7.4 per cent in February compared to 7.5 per cent in January. In all, 43,000 people considered themselves part of the labour force in February whether they were working or not compared to 42,900 in January. February’s jobless rate was the second highest of any region in B.C. but still better than the February 2012 jobless rate of 12.2 per cent. Northeastern B.C. had the lowest jobless rate, 4.1 per cent.

were here for the same reason.” The next step is to take information from the conference and apply it to a pilot employment preparation program. “It’ll be about essential skills to prepare a person to be trained for a job or to step into a job,” said Ramsay. Conference participant Irene Mills from Skidegate on Haida Gwaii said the more companies understand the area culture, particularly the aboriginal culture the better off they will be in hiring local workers. “If you support us, you will be successful,” said Mills. Sasa Loggin from Terrace, in speaking during the conference windup session, said part of the challenge on preparing people for employment is to insert hope into the community.

“People require encouragement to get an education,” added Loggin. Providing encouragement takes in a long list that includes parents, schools and community groups, she said. “There’s nothing like the peer pressure of being successful,” Loggin continued. Conference delegates also heard that continued low scores from tests of Grade 7 students in math, English and science mean there isn’t a regional workforce ready for the kinds of jobs industrial projects will bring. The conference fell under the umbrella of the Skeena Nass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics which has received backing from governments to do the groundwork on developing a local workforce for planned industrial projects.

THE REGION needs to develop a trained and ready workforce if it wants to gain from an expected flood of industrial projects, says the organizer of a conference last week which brought together companies and training organizations of all kinds. “There were some realities presented. If someone wants a crane operator, let’s say, all it takes is a phone call to someone in Newfoundland and that person’s here tomorrow,” said Don Ramsay of information presented at the three-day Partnerships 2020 conference which wrapped up March 8. “All this is going to be happening with our without us. It’s kind of up to us,” he said. And while companies may bring in outside workers equipped with specific skills, Ramsay said the common wisdom is that a locally-trained and prepared workforce is less expensive to recruit and retain than one that has to be brought into the area. One of the key themes presented is that a person’s readiness for employment begins before they even start school, said Ramsay. “What we heard here this week were people with common goals and common aspirations. There was really no dissension. People

Refinery backer says he’ll build own pipeline if it’s necessary DAVID Black says he’ll build his own pipeline to carry crude oil from Alberta if that’s what it takes to supply a massive refinery he wants to build on the Dubose plateau north of Kitimat. “I have the financing. That’s not a problem,” said Black last week following a presentation to the B.C. Chamber of Commerce March 6. Black provided an update on his project first announced last August to build a 550,000 barrel-a-day refinery supplying Asian and other customers with gasoline, diesel and jet fuel among other products. The cost is now in the $25 billion range and Black said he has a general agreement with his company called Kitimat Clean to line up the money through the Swiss-based Oppenheimer Investment Group although more detailed negotiations have to take place. “I hope to sign a financing [memorandum of understanding] with 60 days,” said Black of the debt-financing for the project. But first he needs to demonstrate he has customers for the refinery’s output and Black expects to have a memorandum of understanding, called an off-take agreement, in place within a month. Black wouldn’t comment on whether those potential customers include any of the 10 companies who have provided Enbridge with the seed money for its Northern Gateway Pipeline project. It’s those companies who have interests in the Alberta oil sands and want to ship the raw product overseas but who, for now, lack a way getting their product to the coast. But Black did say the generally accepted business model for refineries elsewhere is for their owners to

also own the pipelines supplying the raw product. “Then you’re dealing with suppliers who are locked in,” said Black, adding that it’s a more efficient way to do business. Black wouldn’t comment directly on whether he’s considered asking Enbridge to sell its Northern Gateway project but he has told Enbridge its concept of shipping crude to the coast through a pipeline and then having the unrefined product taken overseas won’t be accepted in B.C. “I’ve thought a lot about that,” said Black. “I think it would be very, very difficult now for Enbridge to win.” The company is now in the middle of extensive public hearings and a final decision to accept or reject the project is expected from the federal government late this year. Part of that is the publicity from the company’s Kalamazoo, Michigan spill in July 2010 and the company’s own failure to win acceptance for Northern Gateway, he added. And that means a fresh start without Enbridge might be considered, said Black. “I do think pipelines can be built safely,” said Black, adding that Enbridge’s own Northern Gateway plans call for drilling underneath rivers to run pipe instead of crossing them on the surface and drilling through mountains instead of running pipe over them. Any pipeline project of Black’s would require not only environmental approval but the approval of First Nations along the route. Enbridge said it has signed economic deals with First Nations along the route and has offered them chances to take an equity stake of up to 10 per cent in Northern Gateway. Publicly, however, First

Rail discounted

MOVING crude by rail is an option but not likely one that would be easily accepted, says the man who wants to build a refinery. “If B.C. remains set against a pipeline the oil will come to the refinery by rail. CN and the oil companies are keen on this. A great deal of crude in North America is being moved by rail now. The costs are not that different in this case and no permits are required,” said David Black last week. It would take 12 trains a day of 120 cars each (six loaded and six empty) to replace a pipeline. “Rail tankering is, however, not as safe and it is more disruptive. Small towns along the route with level crossings would rue having 12 more trains running through every day,” said Black.

kitimat clean president David Black with a sample of Alberta bitumen he says should be refined in Canada.

Nations along the B.C. portion of the route say they remain opposed to the project. Last week Premier Christy Clark spoke in favour of the project in the legislature, saying the refinery project would have to meet environmental and safety standards but welcomed the prospect of adding value to a natural resource. Energy minister Rich Coleman also said the province would be willing to sell Dubose area Crown land for the refinery location.

That’s also Kitselas First Nation traditional territory and while Black says he has had general talks with the Kitselas, nothing formal has been set out. “We are on the same page, however,” he said. The refinery would be the first in the world to use a technology developed by Expander Energy of Calgary that reduces the greenhouse gases emissions related to processing heavy oil by 50 per cent per barrel. That adds an additional $3 billion

to the price tag of the refinery, but Black said it is an important part of the project. “This will broaden the province’s economy, create thousands of high paying union and non-union jobs, create work for B.C. Contractors and pay a high amount of taxes to the province,” he said. “Best of all it will improve the world’s environment, and that is a key reason why this old newspaper man and his family as so keen on the idea.” The presentation came

the same day as the B.C. Chamber of Commerce released a poll showing 52 per cent support the refinery and 66 per cent support the plan if an environmentally sound way of transporting bitumen from Alberta to the refinery can be found. David Black is the chairman and majority owner of Black Press, a company which includes The Terrace Standard, The Northern Sentinel in Kitimat and The Northern View in Prince Rupert.

MLA unconvinced plan will work SKEENA NDP MLA Robin Austin says he favours the idea of industrial investment but remains far from convinced a refinery near Kitimat is doable. “That said there are huge challenges to what David Black is proposing,” said Austin of the newspaper company chairman’s idea. Primary among those is the actual transportation of diluted bitumen to Kitimat. By rail or pipeline, it would still be over unceded First Nations territory that do not have treaties,

he said. And Austin doesn’t expect debate to shift public opinion on the transport of the product in B.C. anytime soon. “I think also the issue of tankers on the central and north coast of British Columbia, whether they are taking crude oil or whether they are taking a refined product, I don’t think that British Columbians on the whole are receptive to having tankers.” Austin also has doubts the oil patch itself will get behind

a refinery in Canada. “I haven’t seen the oil industry out of Alberta show any interest in supplying David Black with any product,” he said. The money for oil producers, suggested Austin, is through selling the raw product, and not for refining it in Canada. As for if he think a refinery could change perception on pipelines, Austin doesn’t believe it. “Mr. Black now needs to go

speak to the First Nations along the route that he contemplates, and see how they feel about it,” he said. “I would be surprised if they looked differently upon his project than they do on the Enbridge pipeline.” Meanwhile, Skeena Liberal candidate Carol LeClerc has given the idea qualified support. But she said it needs to address worries about the environment and heavy oil pipelines crossing northern B.C. rivers.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Industrial site on the market

New offices for Golder

ANOTHER GROWING business is renovating a new, larger space. Golder and Associates are completely gutting and redoing the former Your Decor building at the corner of Munroe and Hwy 16 for an expected April move-in. “Yes, we’ve outgrown our current space,” said Kelly Baltz, senior environmental engineer with Golder and Associates, adding the new space will be at least twice as big as their current

www.terracestandard.com A5

offices, which are on Keith Ave. at the corner of Eby on the south side. Approximately two-thirds of the space will be new offices and there will be a lab area for the environmental work the company does, he said, adding the approximate cost of all that work is more than $100,000. A grand opening date has been set and invitations are being sent out to clients and groups, he added.

ONE of the largest fully-serviced industrial locations in the area is back on the market. NSD Development Corp. has listed 40 acres of what was the former Skeena Cellulose/Terrace Lumber Company site which stretches along the 4900 Block of Keith from the old Shell bulk plant location west to Kenney. The ReMax listing places the cost of the property at $5.5 million. Garry Roth of NSD said it is prepared to sell the property as a whole or in whatever size may be wanted by a customer. There is one tenant on the property – concrete and aggregate company Lafarge is leasing approximately two acres. “If we were going to sell portions we would have to subdivide and we would be prepared to do that,” said Roth. He said the company will also entertain lease offers and that should it sell all or portions of the 40 acres, those tenants would go with the sale. NSD has hired local contractor Billabong to continue taking out footings and other foundation remnants from the main sawmill building and outbuildings. The property had been for sale before and was taken off the market but

the area’s improving economic situation has NSD banking on renewed interest. The property does not have an environmental clean bill of health relating to its past industrial use but Roth said NSD has hired Golder and Associates to continue assessment work. Whether purchasers would want the site to have a clean bill of health depends on what they would want to do at the location, he said. “Some people may not want the [environmental] work to be completed,” said Roth. “They might want it in the state it is now for tax reasons. Other people may want the environmental work to continue.” A provincial grant from a program aimed at dealing with former industrial sites paid for initial assessment work. NSD Development Corp. purchased the site from the City of Terrace after it acquired the acreage from the former Terrace Lumber Company, the last owner of the sawmill before it was dismantled, when it failed to pay taxes. The city also ended up with approximately 20 acres which served as a log storage yard for the sawmill operation. It was on the market for $2.1 million but the city has since leased it to a Chinese log export firm.

EDITORIAL

Gas frenzy ANOTHER week, another liquefied natural gas (LNG) announcement. This time it’s Japan Petroleum Exploration (Japex) buying a 10 per cent stake into a planned LNG plant near Prince Rupert which itself is a project of Petronas, Malaysia’s state-owned energy company. We’re going to soon run out of fingers on which to count the number of proposed LNG plants, pipelines and countries involved. And that raises the key question for the northwest – who has got our back in all of this? The provincial Liberals with their superfund plan to use anticipated tax revenues are counting their LNG projects before they’re hatched. The provincial NDP have yet to reveal their hand. Their clever move so far is to raise the matter of power. Each of these projects would require tremendous amounts of electricity and where that will come from and in what form is a valid issue. The provincial government has the Oil and Gas Commission which regulates how the products are pumped out of the ground. With as many as four pipelines planned, the possibility of an expanded current pipeline and five proposed LNG plants, whoever forms the government after the May election would be wise to consider something similar for pipelines and LNG plants. No one likes more bureaucracy but we do need a starting point. Information is power and right now the northwest lacks both. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Name that baby exposed as a hoax

arly in March the host of a TV talk show announced a new website named Belly Ballot had sprung up where a pregnant mother could sign up, pick five favourite names for her baby, and invite friends and family to vote to help the mother-tobe select a name. My first thought was, “How irresponsible and lazy have parents become? They can’t even choose a name for their offspring without the backup of friends, like brides-to-be who take along a mob of girlfriends to help them find a gown for their big day because they lack the confidence to choose by themselves?” Based on the website, one participating mother-to-be would be awarded a $5,000 prize. Why couldn’t mothers do as they have always done – talk to immediate family, scan some baby name books for suggestions, then decide for themselves? Still, with some of the odd names celebrity parents especially choose for their offspring a website contest might result in a more sensible choice, a name less likely

Her mother wanted her to have the biblical name, Orpah, from the book of Ruth. And for years Elvis Presley got along as Elvis Aron Presley. Supposedly his parents used the last four letters of his twin brother’s name, Garon, who died at birth. In his 40s, Elvis had his legal documents corrected to Aaron, spelled with two a’s, to coincide with his certified birth certificate. The Biblical spelling with two a’s appears on Elvis’ tombstone. By the end of last week Belly Ballot owned up to a hoax. The “mother” in the website’s ad was a hired model from Texas who isn’t even pregnant, and there was never any $5,000 prize. That was simply a come-on to entice participants to the site. Though the website claimed 80 mothers signed up, finally the website admitted not a single pregnant mother applied to enter the contest. Which does a lot to restore my faith in the sound thinking of most mothers-tobe.

Dear Sir: I attended a March 4th community meeting sponsored by Rio Tinto where they attempted to explain why they thought the new Kitimat smelter should be allowed to produce 17 more tons of sulphur dioxide every day than the old shelter presently does, 42 tons vs. 27 tons. Sulphur dioxide is what causes acid rain which kills

trees and the life in lakes if it goes on long enough in high enough concentrations. The life expectancy of the smelter is 55 years. The apologist for Rio Tinto, Mr. Morin, put forward the argument that the new smelter would pollute far less amounts of three dangerous and undesirable pollutants. Polycyclic aromatic hydro-

carbon emissions will be reduced by 98 per cent, gaseous fluoride emissions by 72 per cent and greenhouse gases by 36 per cent. He called the first two really nasty. The upside of this for the company is that they are now able to use new technology that allows them to reduce their costs by reprocessing the elements that polluted in the

past. He seemed to feel that we should be so happy with that, we wouldn’t mind the company’s plan to produce more sulphur dioxide as it prepares to double its production. The purpose of the meeting was to do the community consultation required to get the permit to do just that.

Dear Sir: Brad North’s guest commentary in the Feb. 20 edition of The Terrace Standard is a sad reflection of a public servant’s view on public opinion around the proposed landfill at Onion Lakes Flats referred to as the Forceman Ridge Landfill site. Mr. North’s views are much like that of the administration and boards and council of the Kitimat Stikine regional district and City of Terrace who all appear to think their roles give them the sole ability to make decisions for the public they serve. Rightly so. After all, the taxpayer paid Mr. North for 15 years as an employee responsible for the City of Terrace solid waste program and our representative officials were elected by the public to represent our voices. All were hired or elected to serve the public’s greater good, respond to the public’s concerns and to build our combined vision for the future. Following numerous petitions and presentations brought to both the regional district and the City of Terrace opposing the Forceman Ridge Landfill site I question the integrity of public process used by our representative experts. The premise for the location at Onion Lake came from a plan to have one landfill to serve Kitimat, Thornhill and Terrace. After Kitimat withdrew from the plan it would have been logical that the local government explore one landfill site in the Terrace Thornhill region. Studies for Forceman identified new technology, and this coupled with recycling plans and local composting, should have prompted our local experts to re‐evaluate local landfill sites as an option. Despite public requests to do so local government insisted that current landfills sites must close. Yet the environment ministry has assured me that they would consider issuing operational licenses for either site if the regional district submitted an acceptable proposal for a solid waste management plan for one or both of the current sites.

Bed checks for Senators? Why not

he reports about the behaviour of some Senators have once again unleashed a flurry of demands to either abandon or at least reform that venerable institution. Defenders refer to the Senate as the “Chamber of Sober Second Thought.” It is not how the constitution defines it, although sobriety may have been a consideration in the days of Sir John A. Macdonald. Reflecting on recent reports, I doubt the capacity of individuals who stand accused of assault, or who are uncertain about the province of their residence, to entertain a thought of any kind, first or second, sober or otherwise. There is admittedly a need for reform in Canada, but the focus should be on governance overall, not merely on the sideshow that is the Senate. There is something seriously wrong with a system capable of tracing the earnings of a part-time flag person working for a couple

of weeks on a highway project a few miles north of Meziadin Junction, but incapable of verifying the accuracy of living expenses in the tens of thousands of dollars over several years claimed by people working down the hall from the Prime Minister’s office. The constitution’s requirements for membership in the Senate are not complicated. The essential qualifications being that a person must be at least thirty years old with assets worth a least $4,000 more than total debt, and residing in the province he or she has been appointed to represent. I am older than thirty, I am reasonably sure that my assets exceed my debts by $4,000, and I know where I live. Why am I not a Senator? If reforming the Senate is too challenging a task for the Hon. Tim Uppal, the federal Minister of State (Democratic Reform), at least our federal government could consider changes to the system of living allowances paid to Senators.

g u e s t c o mm e n t

ANDRE CARREL As a first step the federal government should take care to apply linguistic consistency in its comments on Senators’ expenses. These payments are not expenditures of public funds; they are expenditures of “taxpayers’ money” as are all government expenditures. Once the federal government understands that reality, I have a

suggestion on how it can reduce the cost of Senate living allowances while at the same time assisting those Senators who are confused about their residency. The federal government should purchase a 105-unit apartment complex (one for each Senator) within walking distance of the Parliament Building. Bachelor suites with kitchenettes would be adequate. These units should be fully furnished, including bedding, pots, pans, and dishes. These units should be made available, free of charge, to every Senator whose personal residence is beyond easy commuting distance of Parliament Hill. Surplus units could be leased to the City of Ottawa’s social housing program. Senators should be allowed to check into their units two days before the first sitting of a new session (allowing one day of rest to recover from the strains of travel). The property manager would be responsible to verify the identity of each Senator by cross-

referencing the Senator’s health care card to the Senate registry to confirm each Senator’s residence before handing over the key to the Senator’s assigned bachelor suite. In my view this would be a win-win solution. It would relieve overworked parliamentary officers from the evidently impossible task of administering the Senators’ housing allowance claims, and it would relieve Senators of their difficult constitutional obligation to know the name of the province where they reside. The federal government should welcome my suggestion. My senate housing program will align a controversial and difficult to administer federal expenditure program with its ambitious desire to save taxpayers’ dollars. As to those of us who are not members of the Senate, we need not despair. We still have taxes and the weather to complain (and do nothing) about.

New smelter emissions could harm the area

Understandably, Mr. Morin did not spend any time addressing the question of why the company was permitted to be such a major polluter for so long. Nor did he touch on what they could have done over the years to reduce that pollution instead of waiting for a complete rebuild of the smelter. That would have been of high interest to a community that has suffered a very high number of cancers and respiratory ailments during that time. Interestingly, a Globe and Mail story the next day described how Suncor Energy and Syncrude Canada are being taken to task for very similar emissions in the tar sands. The argument for why Rio Tinto should be allowed to now produce more sulphur dioxide pollutants is that the company predicts these emissions to have little effect on the Kitimat/Terrace valley where most of the fallout will occur. A few small, unused lakes will become more acidic but not Lakelse Lake. It did not seem to occur to

Rio Tinto that they could use the saving from reducing other pollutants to reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide pollution. Scrubbers are available but Mr. Morin seemed to infer that they are used for heavy industrial polluters. I guess 42 tons a day isn’t heavy enough for Mr. Morin. Besides, it presents him and his company with the problem of what to do with the collected pollutant. Storage under the sea? Storage in a land-fill? Better to build a high stack and disperse it into the air so that its disposal would be diluted, even if over a larger area. In addition to the tonnage of pollutants involved, there are several equally large issues here. What gives a large corporation the right to pollute the community landscape? When do jobs become bribes? What protection should we be able to expect from our governments? What constitutes an acceptable public consultation? For something that will have such a major effect, Rio Tinto gave almost no notice to Kiti-

mat and Terrace of its intent: two poorly advertised public meetings. The company has not shared its research. Government has not shared its role. Rather, we have been treated to a propaganda exercise designed solely to allow the corporation to say it consulted the affected communities. No one would say that the Kitimat smelter should not be rebuilt. But Rio Tinto should hold the public consultations on its projected sulphur dioxide emissions again. This time they should do it right; involve all levels of government, give the communities sufficient notice, make their research widely available and be prepared to take responsibility for the pollution they produce. With their enormous profits from the sale of the electricity they are not using in the production of aluminum, they can well afford it. Rio Tinto does not have a social license to pollute.

Landfill plan is still wrong The same technology the experts identified for the Forceman Ridge studies can be applied to any site and retention of one or both sites should be explored. In fact, the construction of a new landfill site on an old one is currently proposed for Hazelton. The public has made official requests that the Terrace landfill site be studied to determine if that original site can be upgraded to mitigate further pollution to a new site. Ongoing remediation is required for both the Terrace and Thornhill landfill sites regardless of closure. Developing a third landfill at Forceman seems counter intuitive to waste reduction. Hazelton’s plan seems wiser. The experts at the city and the regional district currently dismiss this request. Who’s working for whom? Public opinion has been disregarded. Yes, experts have been paid to conduct studies and their results are not in dispute. That does not mean that they have been directed to study the right thing or to answer the right questions. Advisory committees were formed but many concerns were not ad-

dressed. Yes, there were public meetings with glossy pictures and expert presenters, but concerns were not addressed. Yes, lengthy reports indicate public consultation segments, but public concerns were again not addressed. The Collins Dictionary defines consultation as talking things over to decide something, which implies equality between parties. The lack of response to public questions and concerns has caused many of us to question the true use of local advisory, consultative processes. The cost of the various studies for solid waste management in this region is now approaching one million dollars. Paid for by whom? The Kitimat Stikine regional district’s proposed 2013 refuse maintenance budget indicates an increase in cost of $550,605.00. Taxpayers will undoubtedly face increased taxes and user fees to cover this huge 52 per cent increase. Which comes back to my point, who’s working for whom?

School special

Grade 8 for Veritas, school buildings for sale, and those controversial Fraser Institute rankings are just some of the goings-on at Terrace schools By ANNA KILLEN

he Coast Mountains School District is open to leasing or selling vacant school district property – and they now have a policy to guide that process. “As you can imagine, vacant buildings impose a considerable strain on the district’s operating budget (heat, security, snow clearing, building maintenance, etc.) – so it is certainly our intent to consider all options of leasing or sale – providing we have no use for them in the foreseeable future,” said school district secretary treasurer Alanna Cameron. At the February school board meeting, the board finalized the new Disposal of Land or Improvements policy. “It’s a new policy,” she said, noting interest in one of the vacant properties prompted them to write the policy. “According to [provincial ministerial order] M193/08 and the School Act, sections 96(3), if districts wish to consider sale of property, they are to have a Disposal of Land or Improvements Policy in place,” she said. The board financially benefits from the use or sale of these properties – the money either goes directly to the district to use in its budget, or to the ministry and filtered back down to the district. “It’s a combination, depending on the particular circumstance – origin of the property and who holds title. Though in most cases, our district would benefit by re-

Kiti K’Shan Primary is just one of the school district’s vacant properties. ceiving at least 25 per cent of the proceeds of sale,” she said. “The more immediate pay-off is through leasing where we’re not only passing off additional utility costs, but also generating lease revenue.” There are 16 closed schools across the district, five of those in the Terrace area. Two of those Terrace properties – Jack Cook School and Copper Mountain Elementary – are currently leased. Kiti K’Shan Primary is also being used as district storage. In Kitimat, the district has recently entered into a lease agreement with Rio Tinto Alcan for the use of Roy Wilcox Elementary. “And we’ve managed to

lease the former Kitimat City High facility,” she said. The district also has an agreement with the City of Terrace for use of the gym at Thornhill Junior Secondary, which closed last year. To date six community groups, including badminton, archery, volleyball, soccer, and the Kermode Friendship Society, are currently using the gym, said Carmen Didier, director of leisure services for the City of Terrace, noting it’s the gymnasium only, not the rest of the school. The agreement works using short-term lease agreements, with the first running from October to December, and the latest started January and ends

in March. She anticipates they will continue using short-term lease agreements. “The user groups are to cover operational expenses with revenue monies generated by user fees,” she said. “User groups are also responsible for providing their own supervision, opening and closing the facility as well as cleaning up after their timeslot. To date all of the groups have fulfilled their responsibilities and there have not been any issues,” she said. “From the city’s perspective, we are happy with this arrangement. It has kept a large facility open and available for community use.”

Terrace schools are once again at the bottom of the Fraser Institute’s school ranking list for 2012, but school board chair Art Erasmus says the rankings, based on the results of the province’s Foundation Skills Assessment tests, don’t tell the whole story. “It’s only a one shot deal on an activity that happens once a year, and it doesn’t consider the kind of population that is served by a given school, it doesn’t consider what things are being done for the school to help kids and families cope with life and the circumstances that are there,” he said of the tests, that measure reading, writing, and numeracy and are administered to students once a year in Grade 4 and Grade 7. Out of 853 schools, independent school Veritas was the highest ranked at 33, with Cassie Hall at 843 and Suwilaawks at 850. Other Terrace schools were not included on the list because there was not enough data. The Suwilaawks’ morning physical activity program is one example of something beneficial a school is doing that isn’t measured in the rankings, said Erasmus. “The kids love it, they’re getting their physical activity, they like going to school because of the way they’re being treated,” he said. “It helps attendance and it helps a whole bunch of other things so that the kids want to be there and do some work.” The Fraser Institute’s Peter Cowley, one of the authors of the report, agrees that the rankings don’t include all factors – and that’s why more data is needed on students, not less. The government has indicated it may cancel the tests in the future, but Cowley says that would be a mistake. “These tests ... are a minor, minor imposition on both the timetable and the budget,” he said. “And yet, they are of considerable value not just to parents but also to educators and education researchers.”

Veritas to begin offering Grade 8 next year By JOSH MASSEY

The Veritas computer lab is one room that could change when the school begins teaching Grade 8 and 9.

BASED on broad interest expressed by parents of students currently enrolled in Grade 7, Veritas, the area's Catholic elementary school, will now offer Grade 8 next year and Grade 9 the following year, says principal Dave Crawley. "We thought if we're running a Grade 8 then students would have to transition to Skeena for nine and then transition from Skeena to Caledonia for Grade 10, so we decided to go all in," Crawley explained. "The fewer transitions kids have the better for them," he continued, speaking to the benefits of this curriculum. "Members of the parish may want the [continued] religious education. Some like that it's a small school," he said. Crawley expects to have 16 or 17 students in the first-ever Grade 8 class

at Veritas next September. And by the 2014/2015 school year, Veritas will offer schooling from Grade 9 all the way down to kindergarten, and maybe even pre-schooling. "We applied and expect to get a licence to run a pre-kindergarten class," Crawley said. There are now 198 students at Veritas. With the addition of Grade 8, the school population could increase to 210 this year and then to 220 when Grade 9 is added. Including extra grades will require adjustments. The school has installed a set of lockers for incoming Grade 8's, for example, and plans to upgrade to dual computer labs. "One challenge will be to deal with things like applied skills. We don't have any shop facilities," Crawley said. One idea is to teach picture framing, he said, which would include a wood-

working component. Crawley doesn't currently foresee the student population being large enough to support an athletic program that a typical middle school or high school offers. The Veritas physical education program itself is robust, however, as is the music program. Both have specialist teachers who design their own curricula. Veritas is a group one independent school that receives half its financing from the provincial government and the other half through tuition, fundraising and donations, Crawley said. The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2010. And it recently placed in the top four per cent of B.C. schools according to the Fraser Institute's 2012 school rankings, based on standardized testing of Grade 4 and Grade 7 students.

City asked to adopt ‘living wage’ By Josh Massey MOST people are reminded of the higher costs associated with northern living every time they fill up at the pump. Just how high that cost is has been calculated in a recent study by 10 students from the local UNBC campus enrolled in the social worker program. If their numbers are accurate, living in Terrace isn’t that much cheaper than Vancouver, which came as a surprise to at least one city councillor at a presentation made by the students at city hall. The students, using a formula based on those created for other such programs, determined a living wage of $17.65 (before tax) based on a 35-hour work week. This is the minimum hourly wage that two parents must each earn to support a two-child family in Terrace. Social worker and UNBC student Devin Pollitt was accompanied by BC Association of Social Workers president Robert Hart at the Terrace city council committee of the whole meeting Feb. 28 to push for the

city to adopt a living wage policy. It would mean the city would not pay its own workers less than what is determined by the living wage formula and not hire any companies who pay their own workers less than that wage. Following the lead of organizations such as A Living Wage for Families and The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Pollitt and his classmates used a formula to determine what Terrace citizens need to eke out a modest living. Typical expenses calculated for a four-person family includes one vehicle, one bus pass, full childcare for one child, half a day childcare for the other, medical coverage, a modest leisure allowance, and some educational costs for the parents. At $17.65 an hour, Terrace’s living wage is $1.49 less than Metro Vancouver, whose living wage recently clocked in at $19.14 based on the same formula. Taken on a yearly scale, the living wage for a two child family in Terrace is $59,688 (minus tax and transfer payments).

Devin Pollitt That’s what they need to get by without falling into debt and making sacrifices to core necessities, explained Pollitt. If the same family’s two wage earners were to earn the minimum wage of $10.25 their salary would be $41,318, with tax deducted. After adjustments that’s over $15, 000 below the living wage. Pollitt likened this situation to a small business where a deficit of $15,000 would cause significant alarm. The living wage argument states that with in-

creased salaries workers are happier, more productive and less prone to psychological disorders linked to stress which are a burden to social infrastructure, Pollitt and Hart argued. They are also less liable to run into legal or other trouble. New Westminster, B.C. was the first municipality to adopt a living wage policy, and many other cities and companies in North America and Britain are also taking up the challenge, Pollitt said. Pollitt submitted a petition of 200 signatures calling for the City of Terrace to make this commitment. Following the presentation, councillor James Cordeiro questioned whether a two child family really needs $59,688 to get by, and wondered if the city shouldn’t focus instead on programs to help people budget better. “It all comes down to how you spend and manage those limited resources” Cordeiro said. Hart, who is also the UNBC social work program instructor who assigned this living wage project to Pollitt and the other students in the

class, countered that poor people are just as good as wealthy if not better at administering their finances, they just face fewer options. City councillor Stacey Tyers underlined the difference between living and surviving on a minimum wage, saying that a financial cushion makes it easy to live cheaply for short periods of time, however with no fallback plan a family will quickly become destitute if they encounter misfortune. Tyers went on to praise the findings put forth by the UNBC students. “I do question the numbers,” city councillor Brian Downie said of the study, questioning if living in Terrace could really approximate Vancouver in terms of cost. “I struggle with the idea of a social engineering approach,” Downie went on to say. A commitment to only do business with other living wage employers would mean severing procurement agreements with the big box stores who pay less, he said. “Box stores won’t be influenced by our policies. In response Pollitt said

that according to the statistics, Terrace is currently subsidizing foreign-owned chains through taxes to pay for poverty-related healthcare and retraining costs as well as spikes in crime spawned by a society with an underpaid workforce. “It’s like tobacco companies using us to subsidize their health care costs,” Hart added. Marylin Davies suggested that small business might suffer under a living wage regime, with employers slashing positions in order to keep up with higher wages. However the evidence presented suggests that better paid workers are more productive, Pollitt said. City councillor Bruce Bidgood concluded the discussion by speaking out in support of the living wage proposal put forth to council. Bidgood’s recommendation was to have the city’s administration go through their procurement lists and employee salaries to what roles would be affected under the living wage policy. The issue was further discussed at council’s March 11 meeting.

Pot charges dropped ANOTHER GROW-OP case has been stayed here after several years of going through the courts. Charges of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking against Patricia Kerr were stayed, prosecutor Jack Talstra told her lawyer in a March 5th letter. Defence lawyer Timothy Klaassen was going to argue, at his client’s scheduled court date of March 6, that the trial had been delayed too long and that the court should drop the charges against his client but didn’t have to thanks to the letter. And Kerr has had a medical marijuana licence for three-and-ahalf years now, Klaassen added. That licence allows her to grow her own marijuana, to possess it and also to have another approved person grow a certain number of plants for her, he said. On Aug. 5, 2009, Terrace RCMP reported they executed an Aug. 1, 2009 search warrant,

INVESTIGATOR CONST. Jim Preston with the grow-op from the Rosswood subdivision search warrant of August 1, 2009. seizing more than 100 marijuana plants growing outside at a Rosswood property. A man and woman were arrested and police expected to recommend charges of production of a controlled substance against both, said police at that time. “I can say that because of the length of the time that the case took to get to trial that this had an impact on

my client who does have a medical use certificate and has had one since September 1, 2009 and I think that that may well have been a factor [in the stay of proceedings],” Klaassen said. “I think that another factor might be that the co-accused, [Tracey Paul Corbet] there’s been a warrant out for his arrest for several years now and I guess I

can say that the expectation was that we were going to be saying that he was the one behind the outdoor grow-op.” Corbet and Kerr lived together in 2009 but haven’t done so for a long time, added Klaassen. Since charges were laid back in 2010, Corbet has never appeared for court, said Klaassen. A Canada-wide warrant was issued for Corbet’s arrest Oct. 12, 2010. “We were trying to chase primarily the coaccused [Corbet], who had absconded,” said prosecutor Jack Talstra, adding that was one of the major reasons for the delay in getting to trial and the subsequent stay of charges. “We were hoping to find him in the meantime,” he said. Charges of production of a controlled substance, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and trafficking a controlled substance will remain outstanding against Corbet, who is believed to be a U.S. citizen.

Environmental award shared by Tahltan, gov’t and Shell THE TAHLTAN Nation has shared an award with Shell Canada, two environmental groups and the provincial government for work done to preserve the Klappan area of northwestern B.C. The award from the Tides Canada environmental organization follows on a deal announced late last year for Shell to surrender its coalbed methane drilling and exploration tenure in the area called the Sacred Headwaters in return for $20 million in provincial royalty credits to develop a water recycling plant at a gas project in northeastern B.C. Forest Ethics and the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition of northwestern B.C. are the two environmental groups sharing the award. Annita McPhee, president of the Tahltan Central Council, accepted the award at an event held in Toronto March 6. The Klappan is the headwaters of three major northwestern B.C. rivers, the Skeena, the Nass and the Stikine. The award was one of 10 presented by Tides Canada in its recognition of projects it says address environmental

and social challenges. In accepting the award, McPhee said resource-based projects remain a worry on traditional Tahltan territory. “Shell Oil may be gone from our traditional lands, but new coal mining proposals are a major concern too,” said McPhee. Fortune Minerals of London, Ontario has been trying for years to develop an anthracite coal mining project in the Klappan. And a company with Australian roots called Atrum recently bought out another company giving it metallurgical coal deposits in an area called the Groundhog, south of Fortune’s deposits in the Klappan. McPhee said Fortune’s plans call for an open pit operation right in the middle of a Tahltan hunting camp area. “The Tahltan use that area year-round. There are cabins up there,” she said. A Fortune official has since said its mine plan doesn’t not include a tailings pond. McPhee said protection of water sources given that the Klappan is the headwaters for

ments working with resource companies for a mutuallyagreeable solution is a model that can be used world-wide, the Tahltan have yet to suggest it be followed with Fortune. “But we have been meeting with them. We met with them a couple months ago and we suggested they re-think their strategy.” And while the Tahltan have signed economic and social development agreements with AltaGas of Calgary for nearly $1 billion worth of run-of-river hydroelectric projects on its traditional territory they have doubts about the planned Red Chris copper mine that’s also located on their traditional territory. The Red Chris mine, owned by Imperial Metals, has received federal and provincial environmental clearance but the Tahltan say they are worried about potential pollution of ground and surface water sources. “We’re going to have as much input as possible,” said McPhee of the Red Chris project. “We’re going to ensure that the highest of environmental standards are followed.”

Cellphone tower project delayed MS 230 district agrees with that, but we’re dealing with the land use and that’s especially an issue for the neighbours that are there – not that there are a lot of them – so that’s really going to weigh heavily on the development variance permit,” he said, noting that comments from Chamber members in Terrace would have less of an impact on the permit decision. The site for the new cellphone tower falls in line with Telus’ 10-year telecommunications agreement with the province, called Connecting BC, which aims to improve cellphone service in rural B.C.

“When that went to the Thornhill Advisory Planning Commission, they’re recommendation was that Telus, or Standard Land, consider other sites. And that was communicated back to Standard Land and so we believe they are assembling that information and more rationale on why the particular site they’ve chosen,” said Andrew Webber, planning manager at the regional district. “[We’re] wanting rationale before committing to that site – and why are alternates not suitable for achieving the same result.” The final say on cellphone towers ultimately lies with Industry Canada and that public commenting period portion closed Feb. 28. But neighbourhood residents can still make comments through the variance permit process to the regional district who, at the request of Telus, held off on a decision until the Industry Canada process had gone through. Along with comment from the neighbours who are opposed, the district has also received about half a dozen letters through a Chamber of Commerce email push that highlighted concerns from neighbourhood businesses concerned that considering other sites for the tower will delay the project until the fall of 2014. “If it’s a comment about wanting cellphone service in that area, I don’t really think it’s a leap to say the regional

Wanted man caught in parking lot A WANTED man arrested by police in the parking lot of a local restaurant last week remained in jail over the weekend after his bail hearing was adjourned March 8. Eric Cardinal, 27, needed to find a new lawyer after his defence lawyer Scott Mulder said he wouldn’t be able to defend Cardinal as he would be busy for the rest of the month and if he were to remain as Cardinal’s lawyer, Cardinal might have to wait in jail for a bail hearing until April. Cardinal, who police had said Feb. 21 was wanted along with two other men, was arrested in the parking lot of Polly’s Cafe on the evening of March 4 along with five others who police said were believed

to be trafficking cocaine at that location, said police March 5. “Police witnessed drug activity taking place between Mr. Cardinal and five other individuals,” said RCMP spokesperson Const.

Lesley Smith, adding that the restaurant was closed at the time of the arrest. “All were arrested at that time. Two local males are now facing charges from that incident,” she said, adding

the two men are known to police and were released on a promise to appear in court June. 4. Police are recommending drug related charges against the two men, she added. Although police had

said that Cardinal and two other men wanted by police were believed to have access to firearms, Cardinal was arrested without incident and officers did not find any weapons on him. A number of officers

assisted with his arrest and they had their firearms drawn as individuals involved in the drug trade often carry weapons, said Smith. “All males were then handcuffed, searched and taken into custody.”

■■ Hugs all around BON homme receives an embrace from a young admirer March 3 at the Onion Lake ski trails where the Kitimat and Terrace Canadian Parents for French chapters hosted Cabane à Sucre.

NDP MP Nathan Cullen wants the federal government to start fining CN for blocking level crossings. “It’s not only a nuisance for folks who are trying to get to work or make an appointment on time,” said Cullen of trains blocking level crossings. “It’s becoming a safety hazard, because we’ve heard reports of people who get fed up after waiting thirty minutes or an hour, and they get out of their cars and walk between rail cars to get across. And it’s an even more serious hazard if there’s an emergency situation, and a freight train is blocking the only road in or out.” Cullen said legislation sets out fines that could run as high as $100,000 should trains block crossings for more than five minutes. “But we’ve seen a failure to act by CN, and a lack of enforcement from the government. The [transportation] minister has to realize that the safety and mobility of our communities is at stake, and it’s time they start enforc-

ing the rules, and looking at new infrastructure options like new overpasses to increase access and safety.” Rail traffic along the CN main line has been increasing steadily with

the opening of a new container port in Prince Rupert and the growth of commodity exports. CN has been spending heavily to build sidings along its rail line to handle more and longer

trains but that work has yet to be matched by constructing overpasses. Cullen did say that the issue is not entirely new but that CN is ignoring public frustrations.

Officer won’t face an assault charge

A LOCAL RCMP officer accused of using excessive force while arresting and then transporting a man to the Terrace RCMP detachment last spring won’t face criminal charges. “Crown counsel has concluded that the available evidence does not reliably establish the accuracy of allegations that the arresting officer repeatedly punched Mr. [William] Watts in the head,” said a lengthy statement from the provincial government’s criminal justice branch March 6. “Crown counsel has also concluded that it cannot prove unlawful force was used in pulling Mr. Watts from a police vehicle, resulting in an uncontrolled and unsupported drop to the ground. “Based on the available evidence as a whole, the branch has determined there is no substantial likelihood of a conviction on a charge of assault.” The decision relates to an incident in which police officers were called out May 15, 2012 to a residence on Davis Ave. Police said a woman in the residence was drinking and in doing so was breaching a court-ordered condition. A 35-year-old woman was subsequently arrested. Also arrested was Watts, 37, after police said he became agitated and aggressive toward others in the residence, including children. The man said he was going to spit into a police officer’s face so a spit hood was placed on his head to prevent it, said police at the time. A spit hood is a bag which, when placed over someone’s head, prevents a person from spitting on to another person and can catch and retain blood, vomit and other material. Watts submitted a complaint to the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP, saying

he was assaulted and that a racial slur was used against him. Charge recommendation information regarding the officer was prepared by investigating police officers and sent to a Crown lawyer, who is from outside the area for a decision. A separate investigation by police officers also sent to Crown counsel resulted in Watts being charged in July 2012 with assaulting RCMP officer Const. Brian Heideman. But the criminal justice branch now says it has ordered that the charge against Watts be stayed. “Crown counsel also conducted a review of an earlier decision made in July 2012 to charge Mr. Watts with assaulting a peace officer for his actions in threatening to spit on the police officer who arrested him,” said the statement. “Following the investigation of the officer, there is now a significant amount of material available that was not in the hands of the Crown office when the charge against Mr. Watts was approved. “In light of this material, the branch has concluded that a continued prosecution of Mr. Watts for assaulting a peace officer is not required in the public interest. As a result the branch has directed a Stay of Proceedings on that charge.” A separate and internal RCMP investigation did determine the officer used excessive force, violating the RCMP code of conduct. There’s been no determination yet as to what will happen to the officer. For the complete version of the March 6, 2013 justice branch statement, see the story “Terrace RCMP officer cleared of assault allegation” under the news section at terracestandard.com.

Give a girl a grad gown By Darlene Reid

It’s that time of year again. Students are in the early stages of getting ready for their grad. The girls are starting to try on dresses and talking about hairstyles and shoes. It’s an exciting time that they have worked hard for for years. Some girls, however, don’t have the luxury of the excitement of preparation. In fact, they will not be able to attend their own prom. There are some families that are just managing to get by each month, and the expense of graduation is just too much. These girls usually tell their friends that they don’t want to go, when in fact they really do but they know there just isn’t enough money for it. They will proudly walk across the stage to get their diploma and that will be it. The night their friends are getting ready for prom, they will be left out because of a shortage of money. I started buying grad dresses, shoes etc. two years ago for girls in need. It’s a bit like Vancouver’s Cinderella Project but on a much smaller scale and ran more personally. I call it “You’ll be there.” There have been very generous people in town that have donated beautiful grad dresses, bridesmaid dresses, shoes etc. for the girls and incredibly generous business people that have donated dry cleaning, hair, and nails etc. Without them, the girls would not have the amazing experience that they have.

■■ Career ready THE GRADUATES of the UNBC Social Work program show off their silver rings after their ceremony March 5. From left they are Anne Moyls (from Kitimat), Michael Davis, Diana Falardeau, Carolyn Morrison and Sandra George (from Moricetown). They are the sixth class of social workers to graduate from the program here.

Former longtime resident turns 99 Aileen Frank celebrated her 99th birthday on Friday, March 1, at a family dinner gathering that brought together 27 people including three generations of family in Coquitlam. Aileen, a former Terrace teacher and former resident for 72 years, looked radiant as she celebrated the occasion with a delicious dinner, a glass of wine, a shot of Bailey’s and, of course, a birthday cake. Although it was a huge birthday cake, there definitely was not enough room for 99 candles! Aileen stood and graciously thanked everyone who came to celebrate with her. She could not believe that she was 99

and wondered what happened to 98!! As it was the first time the restaurant had hosted a 99th birthday party, staff took a picture of Aileen to post on its bulletin board - perhaps she will appear on the Coquitlam ABC Family Restaurant’s website! Several family members shared their favourite childhood stories and memories of times spent with their mom/ grandmother/aunt but one thing all the family agreed on was Aileen’s peanut butter cookies were the best!! She credits her longevity to the good clean air in Terrace, the fresh vegetables and fruit from her garden, the good milk from the family dairy and especially to all the good

Aileen Frank times with her family and friends that she enjoyed during her 72 years of living in Terrace. Aileen’s residence smelled like a flower shop with several gorgeous floral arrangements. She received phone

calls from family who couldn’t be with her and lots of beautiful cards and notes bearing special birthday wishes from her family and from many of her wonderful friends from Terrace and/or formerly from Terrace as well as from some of her former students. Although no longer able to put her thoughts to paper, Aileen sends her gratitude and thanks to everyone who sent a remembrance to her including all those in Terrace, who signed the Happy Gang card and the old 1934 school photo of her first year teaching in Terrace! Thank you all!!! Family members who came to the family dinner included two of Aileen’s four children,

one of her nephews, eight of her 10 grandchildren (one came from Calgary for the occasion), and six of her seven great-grandchildren. Those joining in the celebration were her daughter Patricia with husband Jack and Aileen’s youngest son Bob; Aileen’s grandchildren and their partners including Shannon and Ron, Shelley and Dan, Lara, Christi and Lee, James and Becca, Karen, Kyle, and Deanne and Cully; Aileen’s great grandchildren including Baylee, Katie and her friend Cody, Danae and her school friend Claire, Elyse, Skylar and baby Calder; and Aileen’s nephew Gordon and his partner Marelyn.

Sending their best wishes but unable to attend were Aileen’s other two sons and wives Jim and Heather and Norman and Linda, and daughter-in-law Judy; Aileen’s granddaughter, Lisa, grandson Jason and wife Pam and their daughter Holland (Aileen’s great granddaughter), and grandson-in-law Marty (who was celebrating his grandmother’s 93rd birthday in Ontario that same day); Aileen’s nephews Don and wife Pat from Toronto and Dick and wife Sharon from Penticton; and from England her relatives Mary and son Mark and Neil and wife Linda. Now, Aileen is looking forward to celebrating her 100th in 2014!

A Tale of Four Cities alternate spellings of Kitwilluchsilt, Gitwencheltque and Gitwenchilque. According to the Salvation Army’s “First Nation Peoples – Rich in Culture and Diversity” (2006), Salvation Army Major Carruthers changed the name of the village to Canyon City in 1927. Canyon City became Gitwinksihlkw again on July 17, 1989. Land speculator Greenway named Crystal City in 1878, in 1891 “three men” named their village Queen Charlotte City thanks to George Dixon and his boat, and in 1927 the village perched on the mighty Nass River was named Canyon City by Salvation Army Major Carruthers. Who named Dominion City? A noisy town hall meeting. James Waddell, in “Dominion City: Fact, Fiction and Hyperbole” (1970) tells the story. His grandfather, the postmaster, was receiving letters addressed to Roseau Valley (actually located in

nearby Minnesota), Fort Roseau, (a name from the 1700s), Roseau Crossing and Ahgomaqua (what the Ojibway had always called it). He changed the place’s name to “Penza” – and nobody but him liked it. On a fine May morning in 1880, a few dozen prominent citizens gathered to discuss the matter. Natt “Buckshot” Bagshaw noted that there were no Indians there, and argued since they had been there a long time, and there were 600 living along the river, they should have some representation. It was agreed, and he soon returned with “the Chief, his brother Big Jim and Louis Sennie from the mouth of the river.” They argued for hours, even devising a system of votes to eliminate the least popular name each time, and were still nowhere near consensus. Lunch came by way of a wheelbarrow full of “cheese, crackers, bologna and a keg of beer” from the Queen’s Hotel across the street. Although harsh words had been exchanged, the refreshments cheered them. Another round of voting was about to be called when “a voice boomed from the back of the room, ‘Why not call it Dominion City?’” “The new name hit the meeting like wildfire for about this time there seemed to be a craze to add ‘city’ to new towns starting up. Every small town thought it would soon be a city and all at the meeting had the same idea.” A craze, eh? Oh, those wacky 1880s guys! “As for the identity of the gentleman who sprang the name on the meeting, your guess is as good as mine. It was always told that he was a railway worker, for he left town shortly afterwards and was never heard from again.” Hmmm, I wonder if that mystery man headed northwest, maybe fishing in the Charlottes or preaching on the Nass.

So far, the girls who have received a helping hand from “You’ll be there” have all been given dresses and everything else they needed and have looked and felt beautiful. It’s a guarantee that if you do have an item or two to donate that they will go to a girl who will love them as much as you did and feel like you did when you wore it.

ominion City, Manitoba has a population of about 350. It was established in 1874 as Roseau Crossing. Why would a small village name itself as a city? Nearby Crystal City (population 414) may have the answer. Pioneer entrepreneur, farmer, politician and land speculator Thomas Greenway mapped a street layout for a city near Crystal Creek in southernmost Manitoba in 1878. According to their Chamber of Commerce, the idea of their village soon becoming a city was not so farfetched. In Greenway’s day, Crystal City had a population of 230 plus, with Brandon recording around 100, and Winnipeg being “little more than a collection of shacks.” The dream was for the place to become a city, a leader in the southern prairies – maybe even the provincial capital! No one was more surprised than Greenway when the railway finally arrived, in 1885 – two kilometres north. He was stuck with his unsellable “city” lots, and the entire village moved to the railway site. Queen Charlotte City has a population of 1,250. “The laid-back fishing village of Queen Charlotte City began as a land grant of 703 acres of fine waterfront property to three men in 1891,” according to britishcolumbia.com. In 2005 it was incorporated as the Village of Queen Charlotte. In 2010, the Charlottes became Haida Gwaii. They had been named Queen Charlotte Islands by Captain George Dixon after one of his ships, which was named after Charlotte, wife of King George III. Canyon City, B.C. has a population of around 400. Originally known as Gitwinksihlkw, in 1912 the province of BC called it Kitwanchilt. Records show

From her sisters and brothers

Maurice Marcel Paul Beauchamp April 21, 1919 – Feb 28, 2013

Maurice Marcel Paul Beauchamp passed away peacefully at Terraceview Seniors Home, Terrace B.C. on February 28th, 2013. He is survived by his step-daughter Cheryl Kilboy of Ft. McMurray, Alberta, his grandson, Brent Kilboy, his brothers, Claude (Laura) of Kelowna, BC, Constant (Joyce) of St. Alberta, Alberta, Raymond of Edmonton, Alberta and his sister, Therese Shultz of Clyde, Alberta. He was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Ernestine, his wife, Gladys, his step-daughter, Barbara and his sister, Simonne. Maurice was born on April 21, 1919, at Vimy, Alberta. He was the first of six children and grew up on the homestead, a quarter section of land, at Pickardville, Alberta. He married Gladys Mindrum in April of 1949. Throughout Maurice’s life, he worked as a carpenter, worked in a lumber mill, and became a mechanic achieving several certificates in the trade. In 1965, Maurice and Gladys moved to Terrace, BC. Here, he worked until retirement as a mechanic for International Freightliner in Thornhill. Maurice liked to tinker a lot and understood the mechanics of things immensely. He loved to explain how things worked in detail whether it was about the farm so many years ago, the machinery and engines, and the spinning wheel that he repaired up at Terraceview. He loved to garden and to share his gardening secrets with others. He was especially proud of his beautiful lilies and his strawberry patch! For 64 years, Maurice enjoyed talking to others about the Bible. He looked forward with all his heart to the promise Jehovah made of a Paradise earth. There, he knew mankind will live in peace and harmony for all eternity. He will be missed by his family and friends and the staff who cared for him at Terraceview. All us would like to thank the staff at Terraceview for the care, many times going out of their way to take care of Maurice’s needs. A Memorial for Maurice took place on Saturday, March 9th, 2013 at 2 PM at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Terrace, BC.

Peewees undefeated in playoffs By Anna Killen

At the beginning of the season, I went to take a team photo of the Peewee Reps. When I asked one of the parents how they thought the team would do this year, they answered, “It’s hard to say, they’re a pretty young team...” Well, that pretty young team turned out to be one of the strongest minor hockey teams in the northwest – going undefeated in the Skeena Valley League, winning one tournament and finishing well at all of the others, and outscoring their zone playoff competitors 35-8 before winning the northwest playoff championships late last month. They’re now headed to Peewee Tier 3 Provincials in Creston this weekend, March 17. “We came to play and we won, simple as that,” said one of the team’s five coaches, Kevin Kennedy. “We’ve got a really good group this year, pretty proud of them – I don’t want to say that we didn’t expect big things from them, but we’re a very young team with a lot of first-time players and first-time rep players, and they’ve responded really well. They’re a very coachable group and I think they’ve learned a lot and come a long way and we’ve had really terrific suc-

cess.” Undefeated at the zone championship tournament, held here in Terrace, they beat Smithers twice, once in a round robin game 5-4, and again in the finals 7-1. They stunned Kitimat 14-1 and the game against Rupert was 9-2. There’s no question offence is their specialty. But they’re also very disciplined, says Kennedy. “We’ve had kind of bad experiences – we’re a big team, playing a physical game – so we shut that off, and we had the fewest number of penalty minutes in the zones,” he said. It also helps that they have two solid goalies, he said, although they struggle with sometimes not seeing a lot of shots. “Against Rupert and Kitimat they’re seeing maybe 10, 12 shots in a game, so they do a good job of staying focused – they have to,” he said. And Kennedy says good leadership – both by players like Brandon Onstein, Mason Richey, and Greg Kennedy, and his fellow coaches – has been key to the team’s success as well. “The guys that I coach with are real devoted and dedicated, and they go out of their way to put the

Here are the Terrace Peewee Reps, fresh off their northwest playoff championship win. kids first and I think because of that, the kids have learned a lot,” he said. “I think [the players have] all come a long, long way and as a team we’ve managed to come together as a team too, so we’re peaking at the right time going into provincials.”

As for the team’s chances at provincials, they’re watching Dawson Creek, who will be tough competitors. “They’ve won a number of tournaments at a much higher tier than the provincials are,” he said. “But you never know. Who would’ve

thought the LA Kings were going to win the Cup last year?” And the Terrace Peewee Reps aren’t the only team travelling to provincials – the Bantam Female Reps are also heading to Vernon for their shot at the top spot in the province.

Terrace figure skaters win medals in Kitimat

■■ Fate unknown Here we have Ryan Roseboom, Kyle Jephson, Henry Hart and Austin Turner, all second year players on the Terrace Midget Rep team. The team had a rough week after learning an appeal by the Smithers team to BC Hockey involving an ineligible player at the championship tournament three weekends ago had been accepted, and the team would no longer be going to Tier 3 provincials in Port Alberni this weekend as planned. As of late last week, it was still unknown whether or not the team would attend an end-of-year tournament. The team filed an appeal with Hockey Canada, and even filmed a video detailing their plight, in the hopes they would be allowed in a tournament, even the Tier 2 provincials. For more on this story, visit www.terracestandard.com/sports.

Nearly 100 skaters from around the northwest attended the Cariboo North Central Region Championship figure skating competition in Kitimat last month, and The Terrace Skating Club was there. Hosted by Kitimat’s Snow Valley Skating Club the weekend of February 15-17, 2013, the competition rounded up skaters from Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake, Burns Lake, Smithers, Houston, Prince Rupert and Kitimat. It was a challenging competition but most of the Terrace Skaters came home with medals to show off. Maya Lecuyer brought home four golds and Cricket Elliott came back with two silver and a bronze. Brianne Monsen came home with a silver medal and older sister Camryn Monsen took bronze. Tristen Morgan earned a bronze medal and Nisha Nijjar came back with a gold and a bronze. Christine Heideman brought home a gold medal, Katherine Peters won

Julia Bowles won a gold, two silvers and a bronze, and Jorden Hendry won two gold medals, a silver and a bronze. We congratulate all the skaters who entered into the competition, said Elaine Sanchez, media representative for the The Terrace Skating Club. After competing in two

competitions back to back, the skaters are looking forward to something a little more enjoyable and entertaining. The Terrace Skating Club will wrap up the season after one last show, featuring all of the skaters performing their own choreographed routines to their favourite songs, March 15 starting at 5:30 p.m. in the old arena.

The Saints were granted a late entry into the AAA division from their traditional single A tier to compete at a higher level, and that they did. The Saints would have easily taken the A or AA zone championship but wanted to compete against the best in the zone. And it was down to the last seconds of the final game to decide the zone representative for the AAA Provincial Championships in Langley March 12-16. The lively crowds were treated to a roller coaster of lead changes, emotions and athletic plays at both ends of the court over the best of three series. It was a nostalgic time for many longtime fans as it reminded them of years past with bleachers full of fans on each side. Spectators left each game with hearts pumping, ears ringing and wanting to see more great entertainment. The first game was closer than the final score indicated. The pumped up Kermodes came out with a 46-36 first half lead thanks to a balanced scoring attack. And the third quarter sealed the deal as they outscored the Saints 24-13 to take a 70-49 lead going into the final frame. Led by a strong performance from senior Kynan Finnie with 21 points off the bench, the Kermodes rolled to an 89-69 victory. The Saints were led by Grade 11 standout Nathan Vogstad with 23 points, Duncan Rumak 20 points, and 13 from Grade 12 leader Joel Richardson. Kermodes countered with 22 from Reegin Maki, Marcus MacKay with 17, Brennan Jay with 13 and Patrick Kurek with nine. Game two was a nailbiter – back and forth with 14 lead changes and some tightened up defence at both ends. The Kermodes led 13-12 after the first quarter, but then got into early foul trouble, having both Reegin Maki and Marcus MacKay sit for a good portion of the first half. The Saints came back to take a 27-26 lead at the half. The Saints’ Nathan Vogstad was in the zone, hitting clutch shot after shot, while the Kermodes were missing contested shots in the lane as the Saints’ young Grade 10 phenom, Jesse Barnes, blocked shot after shot. Going into the fourth quarter, the Saints led 45-41 and the dynamic duo of Richardson and Vogstad for the Saints continued to cause the Kermode defence headaches as they wowed the crowd with their outstanding shot making skills. The final quarter was very exciting and the game came

turn on to Kalum at the top of the hill. The Skeena Valley plays out before me, marred only by the crack in my windshield. The mountain tops are white. Below them the lower flanks are blue green. The distances are crystal and clear as far as my aged eyes can see. The landscape is achingly beautiful, its majesty enhanced by the fact that we haven’t seen a clear sunlit day for five months and the sun we’ve seen since then has been doled out in slivers and shards, minutes at a time. The denizens of the North Coast appreciate a sunny day in the same way the folks living in the back ends of Norwegian fiords do. We understand better than anyone else how inspiring it is to know that behind the curtain of a grey dreary winter there lies scenery that robs your breath. The dog rides in the seat next to me, anticipating a romp with her best friend, Chicklet. I pull into Doug’s driveway and watch through the rear view mirror as he stows his gear and leads his dog into the back of the pickup. There’s a knock on the window. It’s Mark Perrin. I fumble with the buttons, find the right one and roll down the window. Hey, Rob, says Mark. A guy I work with and three of his friends beached 23 steelhead on the upper Lakelse on Sunday.

CALEDONIA KERMODE Patrick Kurek does his best to stave off a Saints victory with one of the many three-pointers he shot during game two of the Northwest Zone Championship finals held in Terrace March 2.

down to the last second. With senior Marcus MacKay fouling out with five minutes left in the game, the Saints thought they would cruise to victory – but just when you thought the Saints were going to pull away, Patrick Kurek came back to hit one three-point shot after another to keep the Kermodes within striking distance. With the four seconds left and the score 67-62, Kermode Brennan Jay was fouled on a shot that went in putting him on the line to shoot one foul shot with the score now 67-64. Kermodes called a timeout and drew up a play that involved missing the foul shot and tipping the ball out to Kermode players stationed outside the three-point line. The plan worked but the aggressively contested shot by Kynan Finnie bounced off the rim to preserve a Saints win. The Kermodes shot a dismal five for 18 from the charity stripe which was a key to their game two loss. The crowd was impressed with the outstanding 38-point performance from Saints’ Nathan Vogstad. Game three was full of drama as once again it came down to the last seconds to decide the champion. Kermodes took an early lead 19-13 after the first quarter but the Saints chipped away and converted on a couple of costly Kermode turnovers late in the half to cut the Kermode lead to one point at 33-32. The second half was an entertainment bonanza as the score went back and forth and the third quarter ended with the game tied at 52 each. Kermode Brennan Jay was given the task of defending Saint standout guard Vogstad. Jay was able to hold Vogstad to just nine points throughout the game – and then, like Kermode Marcus MacKay in game two, Vogstad fouled out with four minutes left in the game. Senior Saint Joel Richardson picked up the scoring slack though and put on a show for the crowd as he and Duncan Rumak kept them in the game. In the final minute the Kermodes went up 68-61 on key three-point shots from MacKay and Jay, but it was showtime for Richardson who hit two deep contested three-point shots to bring the score to 68-67 with 18 seconds left. Kermodes played keep away until MacKay buried a three-point shot with four seconds left on the clock. Kermodes held on for an exciting victory. Kermodes received the AAA Championship banner and trophy for their efforts. All-Star Awards were awarded to Joel Richardson and Duncan Rumak of the Saints while Kermodes Patrick Kurek, Marcus MacKay and Reegin Maki collected the honours for the Kermodes. The defensive player of the series was awarded to Kermode Brennan Jay.

I tell him that you don’t want to lift them out of the water for more than 10 seconds to avoid damage to their gill rakers. Oh, we have the cameras at the ready, he says. He’s a really fine fellow who wouldn’t knowingly do any harm to steelhead, but like so many steelheaders, he has a lot of trouble telling the difference between hold over and newly arrived fish. Female steelhead, in particular, can be shiny after months in the river, leading anglers to think they are fresh, when, in fact, they’ve been around for many months. A new fish will be gray on top, white on the bottom, have see through fins and be hard as a brick. As we leave the river we see three young dudes with casting rods. We call to them that fishing that way is illegal now, but they continue to fish over steelhead that have almost no sanctuary in the low winter flows. It’s really got to be closed to steelhead fishing at this time of year, says Doug.
