Pot smoke-in happening here By JOSH MASSEY CANNABIS ADVOCATES are gathering at the courthouse Saturday afternoon to smoke a little (or maybe a lot of) pot and take in events financed by local lottery millionaire and weed legalization activist Bob Erb. The origin of the name 4/20 varies depending on who you talk to, but the date of April 20 has taken hold around the world in recent years as the day for marijuana legalization rallies. Usually held in larger urban centres, this is the first time a 4/20 rally has been held in Terrace and it is one of many across the country being financially supported by Erb. “This wouldn’t happen if there wasn’t somebody who won a great deal of money and is being able to afford to bring people into town to speak,” said Skeena MLA Robin Austin. Erb donated more than $100,000 dollars to 4/20 events around Canada this year, drawn from his $25 million Lotto Max winnings from last November. As per the 4/20 tradition, there will be many joints passed around at the courthouse, Erb said. The local RCMP will be notified in advance about the over-18 event and Erb does

One of those rallies is taking place in Terrace. not foresee arrests being a problem, partly because the British Columbia Union of Municipalities voted last September to support decriminalization.

Erb’s legalization push, including efforts to have marijuana pulled from Canada’s Controlled Drug and Substances Act are carried out under the advocacy

group name Erb4Herb. Erb4Herb merchandise will be on display Saturday – which will include mugs, t-shirts, signs and other accessories. The group posted an in-

vite online last week calling Terrace residents to meet at the hill outside the Terrace Sportsplex shortly before 4 p.m. and to join a march to the courthouse.

“This doesn’t have to be a street-stopping event the first time,” Erb said, stressing that he also wants the rally to be alcohol-free.

Kitsumkalum says ‘yes’ to agreement THE KITSUMKALUM First Nation may have approved a land claims agreement in principle but the number of ‘no’ votes sends a strong message in advance of negotiations leading to a final treaty, says its chief councillor. “As we go further, we’re going to have to work with the ones who have concerns,” said Don Roberts

in commenting on the 190 ‘yes’ to 108 ‘no’ ballots case April 10. “We will have that opportunity as we go into the next stage.” The agreement in principle sets out the amount of cash, land and details on self government taking in matters such as taxation and resource development. But the details in those

provisions aren’t binding and there could be changes leading up to a final agreement which will also go to a vote. Based on the agreement in principle the Tsimshian, for example, will own no fewer than 45,406 hectares and receive at least $44.2 million. Roberts, who voted for the agreement in principle,

repeated past statements that final treaty provisions for what will happen outside of Kitsumkalum core lands is just as important as what will happen within the core lands. “We have places down the Skeena River, others have as well, down to the marine coast. They must be part of it,” he said. Those locations include Grenville Channel and Cha-

tham Sound and even to the former townsite of Port Essington. Roberts said the emphasis on the Kitsumkalum connection to the marine environment means fishery and marine life allocations must be contained in a final agreement. “If not, there’s not going to be a ‘yes’ vote,” he said. Fishery details also need

to set out a commercial fishery that is sustainable and recognizes Kitsumkalum values along with the values of others, Roberts said. Roberts said his own support of the agreement in principle is the realization that after many years of negotiation preceded by preparation work, it was time to work toward a final treaty.

Sunday Garbathon to clean up the area WITH SPRING NOW here, Terrace and area residents are being asked to take part in an annual effort to clean up outside areas. The annual Greater Terrace Beautification Society’s annual Earth Day Community and Riverside Garb-a-thon is being held with sponsors SkeenaWild Conservation Trust and the City of Terrace on April 21. “The participation of citizens and business owners is essential to have Terrace and area showcased at its best for residents and visitors alike to enjoy,” said Kerry Giesbrecht of the Greater Terrace Beautification Society. The event has been held since 1986, drawing more than 250 people in recent years. Volunteers should meet in the McDonald’s parking lot between 12-4 p.m. on April 21. That’s where they can return filled up bags of garbage and place them in waste containers. Following the Garbathon, volunteers are invited to meet at Ferry Island at 4 p.m. for a free eco-friendly salm-

Public outcry forces change to budget

City ponies up for recycling By Josh Massey CITY COUNCIL made a lastminute decision at a committee of the whole meeting April 10 to add $50,000 to its 2013 budget to do something about recycling. “Pick a number,” said councillor Brian Downie. “We have to have some money in here because otherwise we’ll have to wait until 2014. That isn’t acceptable to the businesses and people of Terrace.” If finalized at the next regular council session April 22, $50,000 will be earmarked for a recycling project of some kind each year until 2017. This year’s money could be spent on a study, but that or any other use for the $50,000 this year has yet to be decided. Mayor Dave Pernarowski initially opposed changing the budget to include recycling, however agreed once director of finance Ron Bowles illustrated that it could be done without increasing property taxes more than the previously agreed upon two per cent. Before deciding on $50,000, councillor James Cordeiro said the amount was insufficient to fully implement a new recycling program to replace the service lost the end of March when Waste Management closed its free self-service depot. “Just so we’re clear on this ... $50,000 a year doesn’t mean a new recycling program,” Cordeiro said. Based on a 2011 city pilot project before Waste Management set

up its free service last year, a complete program would cost $90,000 per year, according to chief administrator Heather Avison. Waste Management halted its service after 11 months, saying it could no longer afford the cost. “I don’t think earmarking $50,000 per year is a half measure,” Pernarowski said in an email. “It’s important though that we move forward with our plan to complete a comprehensive review of our recycling options and associated costs and bring these ideas and statistics to the community for input. We may find that $50,000 will not adequately fund what we ultimately decide is the best recycling strategy for Terrace.” On top of taking the recycling money from city reserves, council also chose to spend $15,000 on a consultant to find a way to attract housing developers. Downie also proposed starting a reserve for capital projects such as a pedestrian overpass spanning CN’s tracks in town and for major pool upgrades. An amount of $105,000 was considered by council but then taken out of the discussion when the calculation showed a tax hike to 3.5 per cent would be necessary including the other provisions. Bowles presented several scenarios to absorb the added costs. The annual $50,000 recycling spend would be drawn out of the city’s reserves over a five-year budgetary period. In 2016 the reserve surplus is projected to dip be-

Council seemed to prefer this scenario as opposed to tax increases. While Bowles advised

What about YaoRun? WITH the city’s budget set to become law early this May, recent discussions have centred around trying to free up money for large capital projects. One new revenue source this year is the YaoRun Wood lease for their log sort yard on Keith Ave. The city now pockets $10,000 per month from leasing this land that was once the location of the old Skeena Cellulose/ Terrace Lumber Company log yard. What would a mayor and city councillor do with the money—$105,000 in 2013 and $120,000 each year for the duration of the lease—if it were entirely up to them? The following Terrace Standard census asked them just that. Bruce Bidgood “I have very recently inquired with council about targeting these same funds to which you refer for a pedestrian overpass at the end of Kalum (where our historical level crossing used to exist) spanning the CN tracks and uniting North and South Terrace. This project would address a significant safety con-

cern (i.e. some people crossing the tracks illegally), save time for pedestrians and reduce additional congestion on Sande Overpass, increase shopper traffic to the downtown and conversely to the southside Hwy 16 corridor, enhance tourism (i.e.. hotel stayers and train travellers) and could bring a sense of unification to our community.” Stacey Tyers “I would love to see a multi purpose community centre/cultural centre museum. Something for everyone in the community. Which could double as a large accessible conference space. However I am realistic that the cost of that is much greater than we get and we need to look at ways to reduce the general tax burdens on our residents and commercial businesses.” Marylin Davies “We have much catching up to do after the frugality the department heads have had to put up with in the last 10-12 years. Dream time for me would be 1, Roads and infrastructure attended to and 2, Savings replaced for any future problems, and 3, some monies given to community groups who have been getting by on zero increase for

many years.”

James Cordeiro “I don’t see this as a windfall because you have to consider the opportunity cost.” The Yaorun lease money shouldn’t be seen as some separate entity but part of the larger pool of funds that will be considered with all projects, he said. Mayor David Pernarowski “The additional money that will be coming from any new industry or business that has opened will be added to our budget numbers and discussed during these meetings.” (At the April 10 meeting $50,000 was allotted to recyling and $15,000 for a housing consultation.) Lynne Christensen Christensen’s first priority is recycling, then a new Heritage Museum for downtown, then a pedestrian overpass to connect the north and south sections of Terrace. Brian Downie At the April 10 budget meeting Downie suggested that the Yaorun lease money could be put in a reserve fund for large projects like building the pool, over-pass, and recycling.

that $500,000 is the lowest reserve a city should ever have, he also said that dipping below for a year would only be a concern in a depressed economy. Councillor Stacey Tyers sug-

gested asking the Terrace Community Forest if it would enter into a cost-sharing partnership with the city to boost the $50,000 recycling budget and provide a comprehensive program.

City Hall gets recycling earful WHEN news broke March 20 that Waste Management was shutting down their Terrace recycle depot, the city’s Talk-Back line provided an outlet for residents to speak their minds. One individual scolded the city for not providing relief to Waste Management: “The city had been paying $70,000 a year to haul recyclables to a private recycling depot and not co-shared the costs with Waste Management in any shape or form.” Another person wondered why an issue that took up so much time and money the last few years was dropped so quietly: “I’m not impressed. Also I’m not impressed that at last night’s city council meeting they didn’t come up with any other resolutions. Recycling was the item the last municipal elections” Another person spoke to the obvious need for recycling: “Good morning Mr. Pernarowski: my position is that I believe in recycling. I believe in it because I have seen that it has reduced the amount of garbage that my household generates by 50-60 per cent.”

A recorded message from March 20 at 7:22 a.m. expressed feelings of dismay: “What’s happening with our recycling in Terrace? I am very disappointed.” March 20 1:28 p.m.: “I’m really concerned about the recycling depot closing and I really feel that a town the size of Terrace should have recycling ... I really feel we are paying high enough taxes in this town that we should not have to pay above and beyond.” March 20 8:47 p.m. “It’s time city council really took a stand on it. Thank you.” March 26 (email): “I’m a taxpayer in Terrace, British Columbia, and I’m really disappointed that we have no recycling ... they had it barricaded off. It was my understanding that the service was available until March 31.” On April 10 at the budget meeting council mentioned the need to respond to this public feedback and committed $50,000 for recycling. Other issues that came up on the Talk-Back line was a local drunken rowdiness problem downtown and a pile of broken glass on Ferry Island.

Unwavering commitment worth every little person’s weight in gold By ANDRE CARREL No parent would expect a 13-month-old child to simply get up and run around. We do not expect children to walk, swim, skate, or ride a bike without nurturing assistance, encouragement and guidance from adults. We support and guide our children in their physical development as they learn to crawl, take their first step, and use a spoon. There are many obstacles in the way of early steps, and we take care to help children avoid stumbles and falls. We want to ensure that their early mobility experiences are not overwhelmed by fears of being hurt; we want children to, above all, experience the joy of independence. Early engagement in dance and play with other children helps to develop a child’s dexterity. Eye-hand coordination developed through artistic activities, such as drawing lines and circles, using colours, and using hands and fingers to build and shape the things a child sees, hears, and experiences, helps to build an all-important foundation for future learning. Early physical development is important, but equally important and too often neglected are the development of a child’s language-cognitive and social-emotional skills. Developing a child’s language skills, the proficiency to use not just words but sentences to express thoughts, feelings, fears, desires, and ideas, and to comprehend what is expressed in language by others, is of immeasurable importance to the development of a child. Developing a child’s language-cognitive skills requires extensive exposure to language. This means more than three-word commands such as: “Don’t do this!” and “Don’t touch that.” It means engaging children in stories and songs linked to pictures and activities which expose them to experience the meaning of this and that in different contexts. The objective is to develop a child’s language-cognitive proficiency, to make language the child’s primary and most effective means of communicating and with that to minimize the negative experiences of not being understood, of incapacity, and of frustration. Language-cognitive experiences, both positive and negative, are self-reinforcing with life-long consequences. Underdeveloped verbal communication skills lead to pent-up frustrations and a reliance on more destructive but less effective means of expression. The third critical area, distinct from but linked to physical and language-cognitive development, is social-emotional development. This entails a child’s capacity to engage in play and activities with other children, to experience sharing, giving, receiving, empathy and sympathy. These core areas of a child’s development — physical, language-cognitive, and socialemotional — need to be linked and coordinated to maximize the benefits a child will derive from the experience. Children at the pre-kindergarten age are as yet undeveloped human beings who will, in the decades to come, carry the burden of responsibility in dealing with the consequences of the society we shape today. Merely feeding children in their early years, changing their diapers, and protecting them from physical harm is not enough to

They will need language-cognitive and social-emotional skills developed to their fullest possible extent in order to succeed in the globally interconnected world we will be passing on to them. The evidence of what a long-term commitment to comprehensive early childhood development can accomplish is provided by countries where such programs have been adopted. Research by Canadian scientists established that the consequences of neglected or deficient early childhood development in these areas are contributing factors to elevated risks of life-long problems ranging from teen pregnancy to aggressive behaviour in early adulthood and to overweight in later middle age. The vulnerability to such problems due to inadequate early language-cognitive and social-emotional skill development is significant in one out of three children in Canada. Researchers in the field rank Canada dead last amongst developed countries in providing accessible and affordable quality early

child care programs. A child’s vulnerability to inferior early development cannot be linked to a single cause. Over the past two generations changes in macro-economic philosophies and policies have contributed to a gradual transition from one-income to two-income families. These changes have not provided families with more disposable income, but they have resulted in a dramatic reduction in the time which parents can dedicate to the care of their own children. Another factor is the decrease in the number of children per family. A single child is deprived of the opportunity to develop the kind of early social-emotional skills experienced by his grandparents who grew up in a family with three or more siblings in close age range and under the full-time supervision of a parent. Children are not only an integral part of every family; children are society’s most important constituency. Our future, social, cultural and economic, will be determined by the effort we dedicate to early childhood development today.

The life-long social and economic consequences of early childhood development are as significant for the individual as they are for society. The payback for early childhood development is substantial. Research has proven that for every dollar invested in quality early childcare programs society realizes a six dollar reduction in social, economic, and medical costs over the long term. These numbers are not estimates; they are documented in internationally recognized research. Next month is Child Care Month in British Columbia, drawing attention to the importance of child care. Unfortunately this is the year when Canada lost its foremost advocate in the field with the sudden death in February of this year of University of British Columbia’s Dr. Clyde Hertzman. His research and work in the field of early childhood development earned him recognition as Health Researcher of the Year in 2010 from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and the Order of Canada in 2012. Dr. Hertzman describes early childhood development as a “collective implementation good.” From his documentation we know that early childhood development programs must be based on long-term commitments if they are to succeed. Such programs require rigorous monitoring systems to measure and guide progress. An effective monitoring system must have the capacity to detect when children fall behind anticipated progress, to identify probable causes which may differ from case to case, and point to needed program adjustments. An effective early child care program involves family, neighbourhood, municipality, province and the nation, with every participant committed to the program and contributing that to which he is best suited. Such all-out efforts are not impossible; we have managed to bring into existence, administer and successfully execute more than one program of the kind in the past. Think of campaigns such as anti-smoking, drinking and driving, ozone depletion, and car safety to name just a few. In all these examples the decisive factor was that we identified a problem, made a commitment to act, set a long-term goal and then did it. The key to success in every such endeavour is always the same: a long-term commitment by individuals and society alike. Comprehensive early childhood development requires appropriate facilities with enough space and enough staff to enable every child to be enrolled in the years preceding kindergarten. Early childhood development combines research, monitoring, and trained staff. Facilities and staff must be licensed. It is not a baby-sitting service. Most critically, an early childhood development program calls for an unwavering commitment of public funds to ensure access without regard to the economic reality of a child’s parents. Those who fret about the cost to government of such a program need to be reminded of the one-to-six ratio of current expenditures to future savings, to remember that the long-term benefits of investing in early childhood development are not only social, they are economic as well. Andre Carrel has a grandson who attended the Terrace Campus Child Care Centre and a granddaughter who is currently enrolled there.

EDITORIAL

Next steps ANYONE who has visited the Kitselas Canyon historic site or, just lately, driven back and forth over the spur line crossing Hwy16 stretching from the CN main line to the new Kitsumkalum rock quarry can realize the economic benefits First Nations tourism and industrial development bring to the immediate area. Although both developments were accomplished without either a Kitselas or Kitsumkalum final land claims and self government agreement with the federal and provincial governments, both provide a glimpse of how the future is going to shape up in this area now that both First Nations have approved respective agreements in principle leading toward final agreements. What’s interesting is that First Nations governments stand to benefit from resource taxation of various kinds more so than local governments. That’s because resources are most often located far outside of local government boundaries. And that gives rise to the old saying that a rising tide floats all boats. With First Nations, in this case the Kitselas and the Kitsumkalum, developing final agreements, the economic development picture will be much clearer. As First Nations prosper through development on treaty or traditional lands, so will, inevitably, everyone else in the region. To be sure, no system is perfect and challenges await, but the creation of wealth is something to be embraced by all. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

My doctor recommended Lipitor, perhaps the second commonest drug next to Coumadin/Warfarin almost de rigueur among anyone over the age of 65.

Through visit after visit to my doctor my blood pressure resisted my best efforts to reduce it by lifestyle: I bought a $29 pedometer and each day tried to reach 10,000 steps. I hid the salt shaker, cooked oatmeal without salt, and substituted squeezed lemon juice when cooking main dishes. Pizza, bacon, cured meats – all became fond memories except at family get-togethers.

Yet my blood pressure never budged. Then my brother told me of a friend who ate a tablespoonful of freshly ground flax every day. Within three months his blood pressure dropped so much his doctor took him off Lipitor. Aha! My brother’s friend would be my mentor. No more watching Dr. Oz leading a woman across seven feet of his TV stage like a pervert luring a three-year-old into the bushes to search for a lost puppy. Eleven weeks eating flax and my blood pressure is 130/80. Flax is full of fibre and omega-3s, known to lessen plaque in blood vessels and thus reduce blood pressure. But anyone who has eaten a flax muffin or slice of bread knows the body can’t digest flax unless the seed is ground. No problem there. I have a hand-cranked coffee grinder sitting idle. I filled its hopper with a three-day supply of whole flax, and every morning, before I sprinkle brown sugar on my oatmeal, I turn the grinder’s crank fifty revolutions to pulverize the equivalent of a tablespoonful and shake it over my cereal.

A high point of a family reunion last summer was a breakfast of freshly cooked oatmeal topped with only brown sugar and milk. Now, in my blood pressure battle, my oatmeal is buried under flax, fibre-filled Bran Buds and fresh blueberries. Fibre is recommended for anyone tussling with high blood pressure which teams with high cholesterol levels, obesity and diabetes. Elevated blood pressure stresses organs, especially heart and kidneys, and can lead to stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure. Since fresh strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, blueberries and spinach help to check blood pressure, I’ll buy them, no matter how expensive they might be in the off season. Raspberries are $6 a pint, blueberries equally expensive, but they taste far better than a dry white pill chased down with water. At one tablespoonful per day, a five month supply of whole flax costs $5. A five month supply of generic 20 mg. Lipitor costs $122.55.

I first met John a quarter of a century ago at the start of the Jackpine Flats Society and soon learned that even though he was my senior, I had to work hard to keep up with him. Back in the day we had lots of issues. Old Lakelse Road was gravel, BC Tel was charging $17 per month for poles that carried only party lines, politicians showing no concern for our problems and so on. John Whittington was always in the midst of these battles. He was persistent and unmovable when he got an idea like we need a park so let’s build one, he took over the logging, the clearing, the dealing with government bureaucrats and the building of the playground in the park that now has his name.

You just can’t sell seashore Dear Sir: In the year of the lord when Vander Zalm was king and Kitimat-Stikine regional district was a peon of the weak (somewhere in the nineties) the king decreed that the peons be asked for their advice. So the king had a letter written to Kitimat Stikine asking them to share their pristine knowledge about the value of land on sea shore. So the peons of the regional district replied to King Vander Zalm in a letter to him that he should never sell foreshore land that belongs to the provincial crown. That land is too important to sell. If the king was to do any thing with fore shore land it should be leased, never sold. A long term lease with a five-year renewal clause is the only thing acceptable. Cont’d Page A8

Iron Lady’s politics survive to this day

argaret Thatcher was the woman who began the shift to the right that has affected almost all the countries of the West in the past three decades. She died in London on April 8, 34 years after she became Britain’s first female prime minister and 23 years after she was driven from office, at the age of 87. It is an open question whether even the crash of 2008 and the ensuing prolonged recession have finally ended the long reign of her ideas in Western politics. “This woman is headstrong, obstinate and dangerously selfopinionated,” wrote some minion in the personnel department of British chemical giant ICI, rejecting young Margaret Roberts’s application for a job as research chemist in 1948. She was fresh out of Oxford University, 23 years old, brimming with selfconfidence, and absolutely full of opinions. She probably frightened the job interviewer half to death. But she did land a job with a plastics company in Colchester in 1949. She joined the Conser-

vative Party and stood for parliament in the 1950 election (she was the youngest candidate ever), and married businessman Denis Thatcher in 1951. Margaret Thatcher, as she then became, made it into parliament in 1959. She entered the cabinet of Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath in 1970 as the “statutory female” (as he gallantly put it). But she had the last laugh in 1975, replacing Heath as party leader after the Conservatives lost the 1974 election. She took a very hard line from the start, both in domestic and in foreign politics. Her open hostility to the Soviet Union led a Soviet newspaper in 1976 to dub her the “Iron Lady”, a title in which she reveled. Her real impact, however, was in British domestic politics, where she broke the welfare-state consensus that had dominated all the major parties for the previous thirty years. “It is our duty to look after ourselves,” she said, and the political orthodoxy trembled before her onslaught. That was what carried her into office in the 1979 election, and as

g u e s t c o mm e n t

GWYNNE DYER prime minister she acted on her convictions. After she won the Falklands War against long odds in 1982 her popularity was unassailable, and she used it to break the power of the trade unions and privatize state-owned industries. She virtually made free-market ideology the state religion. So it remained for 30 years, long after her harsh and confrontational style had lost her the

support even of her own party. She was ousted as Conservative Party leader and prime minister by her own colleagues in 1990, but the Labour governments of 1997-2010 were also in thrall to her ideas. Their influence abroad, particularly in the United States, was equally great. Yet her greatest contribution to politics, and the foundation of the right’s political success over recent decades, was not ideological but tactical. She was the first politician to grasp the fact that with the decline of the old working class, it had become possible to win elections on a platform that simply ignored the wishes and needs of the poor. There weren’t as many of them as there used to be, and the poorest among them usually failed to vote at all. This insight was key to the success of President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, and to the triumph of conservative parties in many European countries. It continues to be a major factor in the calculations of parties both on the right and on the left down to the present day: you can-

not count on the poor to win an election for you. Margaret Thatcher was made a baroness after she relinquished her seat in the House of Commons in 1992, and continued to sit in the House of Lords until ill health forced her to withdraw from public life entirely in 2002. She suffered from dementia in her last years. Her influence lives on, at least for the moment, but it may not last much longer. The powerful middle class on which she founded her political strategy has been hollowed out by the very success of the free-market policies she promoted. Once you allow for the effects of inflation, average middle class income in the United States, for example, has not grown at all in the past three decades. The time may be coming when gaining the votes of the poor, including the growing numbers of the “new poor”, will once again be essential to win elections. Author and columnist Gwynne Dyer lives in London, England.

Never sell the public’s valuable foreshore So far as is known the king took the advice of the peons, and kept control of those foreshore lands. Fast forward to now. The federal king now has some lands, Crown lands. He did not ask the peons for advice, and will not take

good advice given by us peons. Us peons give good advice, never sell foreshore land, it is too valuable. Now, since good advice was not taken, our new King proposes to sell the Kitsilano Coast Guard station and close

the logical rescue station. That is, sell the farm for a few bucks. Ah, if that were only all. For the saving of $700,000 the station is closed, and the cost savings is placed into a pool along with another

$2 million, more or less, to rebuild an eastern coast station that serves the same purpose as the Kitsilano one. I quote from Kipling, “east is east and west is west “ and the king has no clothes. Les Watmough, Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir: I am extremely concerned about Alcan’s recent application to almost double its sulphur dioxide emissions in connection with their modernization program. This application is for an increase of sulphur dioxide emissions from 27 mg/d to 42 mg/d. Terrace was recently cited as one of the top 10 cities in the world for air quality and this is one of the reasons many of us who live here, choose to live here. Alcan’s proposed sharp increase in sulphur dioxide emissions will eliminate this advantage and ruin our pristine environment. It will not only negatively affect the air we breathe and our health outcomes, but our en-

vironment more generally and our agricultural productivity, just as we recently undertook an agricultural area plan to promote the growth of agriculture in our area. The world is already rampant with environmental externalities that negatively affect health outcomes and agricultural productivity, for which offending producers and consumers bear no pecuniary responsibility. The global environmental situation has become particularly precarious in recent years. Environmental sustainability and the health and survival of our ecosystem and species can only be supported if our elected representatives are vigilant and insure that negative externalities are

brought under control. Our elected representatives have the opportunity to do this by insuring that Alcan’s application for an increase in sulphur dioxide emissions is denied. Alcan can undoubtedly maintain its sulphur dioxide emissions at the existing levels. Yes, it will not be free to do so. But Alcan and its customers should bear that cost, not the local residents, farmers, and ecosystem. I therefore respectfully request that our elected representatives, the Ministers of Environment, Agriculture, and Health the opposition critics, and our MLA represent us and ensure that Alcan’s application to increase its sulphur dioxide emis-

sions is denied. If this application is going to be prevented, we in Terrace and Kitimat need to let our elected representatives know our concerns. Lynda Gagné, Terrace, B.C.

Deny the Alcan permit to increase emissions

Day care, tuition debated by candidates at college

NORTHWEST Community College students and instructors received a taste of NDP electoral financial caution during an all candidates meeting held at the college’s Terrace campus April 10. Robin Austin, the NDP candidate seeking reelection in Skeena in the provincial election, told students there isn’t enough money to do everything students may want his party to do if it’s elected May 14. Austin was responding to questions asking about child care programs and transit costs. Although Austin promoted a pledge by the NDP

Child care effort called expensive Austin and BC Conservative candidate Mike Brousseau spoke to approximately 50 people during the session hosted by the college’s students’ union. BC Liberal candidate Carol Leclerc was unable to attend because of work commitments but did provide a video message. For his part, Brousseau said education has slipped in B.C., adding that only an improved economy can provide the money that’s needed. And he laid out his five principles of elected office – community, economy, education, health care and integrity. Brousseau did say that administration costs are eating into education and other areas such as health care. “We have to look at how the money is being spent,” he said. In response to a student question as to why students have to pay transit fares to ride buses, Brousseau said a student pass should be sufficient to allow a student to ride at no charge. Brousseau, the father of 12 children, said he bought a bus himself to make sure they got to school. Austin noted that bus passes are part of tuition payments at other post secondary institutions. Another student said that a number

of people attending the college are single parents who could use subsidized day care. She added that some programs at the college provide more financial assistance to students than do others. “I like your idea about the five things but if I had five things, one of them would be child care,” the student told Brousseau. There was further discussion about subsidized child care with Austin telling the audience that a plan by Prime Minister Paul Martin for a national child care program was cancelled when his Liberal government was replaced by Stephen Harper’s Conservatives. He also noted that the province by itself could not mount any kind of child care program which he described as very expensive. “We can only be a partner that leverages off federal dollars,” said Austin. Leclerc, in her video message, noted that $7 billion worth of development was already happening in the region with the potential for tens of billions of dollars to be spent on other projects. The college has recently received provincial money to buy new trades training equipment, she said.

northwest logs. But that all hangs in the balance now as they work to settle this dispute as quickly as possible and get back to work. “Right now with the situation with all of these contractors, we're not sure what the next step is. If you're bring-

Fish ban policy termed divisive for local anglers By ANNA KILLEN

Rob Fleming ence and data,” he said. “[Government] needs to figure out a way to be able to do that science.” One way to do that would be to use money from fishing licence sales to pay for fisheries bodies and research, he said, noting that is what was originally supposed to happen when the province shifted to the freshwater fisheries society model in 2003/2004. Instead it’s been going into general revenue, he said. But a lot of people believe the freshwater fisheries societies model – an arms-length, independent, financed by government through license sales – works, added Fleming. “The discussion we’re having is whether that could be expanded,” he said, noting the program should also be reviewed periodically to ensure it is working properly. Some angling groups have questioned the validity of the process as

The new regulation banning and restricting the retention of trout and char caught in Skeena region rivers and streams is an example of the wrong way to make policy, and has ended up dividing a community that used to be united. Those are the words of incumbent Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin, who spoke to the issue along with NDP environment critic Rob Fleming who visited the area April 5. The two met with angling stakeholders in an attempt to understand the divisive regulation, which came into affect April 1 and allows for the retention of one rainbow trout during the summer and early fall months, and no retention of Dolly Varden or Bull Trout year-round. “You have people who, for the longest time, have been on the same page always advocating for the protection of fish,” said Austin. “And [the community is] completely split – some basically saying this a good thing, others going it’s only anecdotal evidence, you don’t even have the proof.” Not only is this split troublesome, but a lack of hard scientific data puts the government’s decisions in question, he said. “It’s no way to be making fisheries policy, if you don’t have sci-

of late, citing the fact that the BC Wildlife Federation and local rod and gun chapters have not been at the table during recent angling advisory committee meetings where proposals are debated and put forward. The province has said while it would prefer them to be at the table, the groups receive invitations to meetings and related correspondence, and other advisory groups, First Nations, and the public are consulted before regulations are implemented. “Sometimes there are tough measures that need to be imposed when a resource is in trouble,” said Fleming, noting restrictions on herring that have been implemented in his riding of Victoria – Swan Lake – where he is running for re-election. “But that was done with significant science and everybody getting to look at the numbers,” he said. “I’ve seen and heard nothing so far that suggests that was the way it was done in this region.” The provincial government says that the regulation change keeps with the conservationfirst approach to angling, that it is working to assess areas where risks are low enough to restore harvest opportunities, and that other jurisdictions of western North America have similar catch bans in place.

Name change investigated Kitselas Elder Francis Seymour says he supports the move to change the name Sockeye Creek to Eliza Creek, but wonders if there might be a traditional name to go along with it. “If we could find another name maybe we could combine them,” Seymour said. He plans to continue talking to other elders to see what they think. Eliza Thornhill was sister to the famous Kitselas chief Walter Wright and was married to Englishman Tom Thornhill in 1892. According to locals Sockeye Creek was originally called Eliza Creek until a surveyor wrongfully mislabeled it. In the past officials from both the regional district and city of Terrace have mentioned wanting to have it changed. Ken Newman, a planner for the regional district of Kitimat Stikine, said that changing the name Sockeye Creek to Eliza Creek would require consultation with Kitselas First Nation because the creek is on their traditional land. According to the B.C. government’s geographical naming policy any name change should be approved by First Nations if the feature falls “entirely within First Nation Treaty Settlement Land.” Seymour is the latest member of the Terrace community to speak out in support of the recent move by city council member Lynne Christsiansen and former Kitimat-Stikine regional district director Les Watmough to instigate a name change. Seymour says he is asking around trying to find the original Kitselas name for Sockeye Creek, and to determine if Eiza had another traditional last name that could be combined. According Seymour, it appears that Sockeye Creek resides in Kitselas territory that is designated to the wolf clan which he is part of. He is currently in discussion with other distant relatives of Eliza Wright. Eliza’s brother, Walter Wright, was a Tsimshian hereditary chief who is well known these days for his oral history Men of Medeek. Walter had seven sisters including Eliza, Seymour said, and hence many nieces and grand nieces, one of whom Seymour is also related as well. Eliza was a trapper, and walked from her cabin she shared with Tom several miles to the creek area to check the line. From her association with the creek locals starting referring to it as Eliza Creek. According to Ken Newman it appears that it was first labelled as Sockeye Creek in 1916, and officially adopted in 1930, although Eliza Creek was still used in the early 1940s, which dates the change earlier than Watmough first thought.

Gov’t minister happy with vote “I want to keep us moving along,” said Roberts. “A lot of people don’t realize the years that have been spent sitting in these chairs and the work it’s taken to get us to this stage.” He said it was also important to reach final agreements to permit economic development. “When companies see something miserable, they don’t want to get involved. When they see something positive, they want to be part of it,” said Roberts. April 10’s ‘yes’ vote amounted to 64 per cent of those who turned out and the 298 total voter turnout amounted to 52 per cent of eligible voters.

There’s no date been set for Kitsumkalum, B.C. and the federal government to officially sign the agreement in principle that was approved. A similar signing of an agreement in principle for the K’omoks on Vancouver Island in March 2012 took place a year after the K’omoks voted in favour. Provincial aboriginal relations and reconciliation minister Ida Chong was pleased with the result. “I would like to congratulate Kitsumkalum community members on making their voices heard. This is a key milestone on the road to a treaty that will see Kitsumkalum become a full, self-governing treaty nation.

Jobless level creeps up THE NUMBER of people working in the northwest dropped slightly in March compared to February, reports Statistics Canada. The agency says there were 39,500 people working in March, a drop of 300 from February’s total of 39,800. An increase in the number of jobless people, from 3,200 in February to 3,500 in March helped push the unemployment rate to 8.2 per cent from 7.4 percent. The labour force, defined as the number of people working or looking for work, dropped from 43,000 in February to 42,900 in March.

Overall employment in British Columbia was down 15,000 for the month of March, offsetting most of an increase experienced in February, indicated Statistics Canada, pushing up the provincial unemployment rate to seven per cent. Compared with 12 months earlier, employment in the province was little changed, said the agency. A year ago in the northwest, the labour force stood at 45,900 with 40,500 people working and 5,400 people not working in March 2012, a factor that pegged the unemployment rate at 11.8 per cent.

Pot smoke-in here on Saturday received money from Erb to organize events in Canada. The money is being used to create a standardized set-up at events across the country, Erb said. Publicity includes radio commercials. Erb wants to match donations for a total of $500,000 toward a referendum campaign. Sensible BC needs to get a petition signed by a minimum of 10 per cent of the voters in all 85 B.C. provincial ridings to acquire the right to hold a referendum. Erb’s 4/20 event is held in part to forge an initial list of supporters. Erb’s cannabis plans for marijuana in the Terrace area are big. Forestry companies will grow hemp in clearcuts and use fibre for pressboard like OSB, he said. Hemp grows much faster than wood, Erb argued, so it could be harvested with a quicker turnaround. “We need another industry in the northwest,” Erb said. While Austin will be in attendance, Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski won’t be there, saying he has other commitments. An email sent to Skeena - Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen’s office was not answered. Featured at the rally will be spoken word poets John Akpata and Whitney French from Ontario. Akpata is an Ottawa-based performance poet and journalist who has run in federal elections for the Marijuana Party several times, participated in all-candidates events in Ottawa and gained notoriety for his raw political speeches that incorporate poetry. Documentary filmmaker Kalmplex is also in town to film the poets’ visit, including stops at local high schools, said Erb.

Erb said that though legislative change has to come from the federal government, his 4/20 Terrace event aims to recruit supporters for a project initiated by Sensible BC, an organization that wants to hold a province-wide referendum on marijuana decriminalization next year. He says that he’s seen pot smoking become more accepted in Terrace since he moved here over four decades ago. “It’s come out of the back alleys. Manual labourers, doctors, lawyers, it has no social, economic, political boundaries.” The owners of local business Deviant Fibres, a hemp shop located in the Lazelle Mini-mall, are playing a lead role in the 4/20 event. Robin Austin, running for re-election in the Skeena riding for the NDP in the May 14 provincial election, was invited to the event by Sensible B.C. organizer Dana Larsen. “I’m hoping that Sensible BC will be able to achieve their goal just as those who opposed the HST were,” Austin said, stressing that a referendum on legalization has never been discussed in the NDP caucus, and that he was not speaking for the party. “I think the people are ahead in the game and understand much better this issue than the politicians,” Austin said. “During election it’s a great time to engage people because it’s the one time people stop to think about political or public policy issues.” Several groups, including NORML Women’s Alliance of Canada, 420 Toronto, the Herb Museum of Vancouver and Calgary 420 formed a national organization named 420 and

Perfect Pie peruses the past TERRACE LITTLE Theatre takes on the topic of memory and how subjective it can be in its latest production. Perfect Pie, which opens April 25, is a hard-hitting drama that explores the role of memory, coming-ofage, friendship and dysfunctional relationships in a small Ontario farm community. Two childhood friends, who have grown apart, get together for a visit and end up confronting their memories of an accident that occurred a long time ago, with flashbacks to provide details of the incident. Four actresses play the girls and the women they become. Erica Wilson plays Marie in her younger days and Rebecca Counts is Marie, now known as Francesca, who is an actress, when older. Melayna Ross is Patsy when young and her real life mom, Laura Ross, plays Patsy as an adult and farm wife. It’s a drama with a

few funny bits thrown in and, although it is one of playwright Judith Thompson’s lighter plays, it’s still very powerful and moving, says director Marianne Brorup Weston. “It’s one of the three or four plays in my life that brought me to my knees,” says Weston about why she chose this play. It’s meant a lot of hard work by the four women, only one of which, Erica Wilson, has acted in a play before, says Weston, adding that it’s been a challenge for her too, as none of them are trained actresses and she’s training them. Usually, she only has one actor to train in a cast. And they are doing great, she added. Audiences will not only get the chance to see the play at the McColl Playhouse, but as one of the entries in the Northwest Regional Drama Festival, here in May at the REM Lee Theatre.

PATSY AND Marie face a tragic accident from their past in the Terrace Little Theatre production of Perfect Pie.

Play Back plays at top volume in Jackpine Flats A LOCAL band of best friends who’ve played together for several years is releasing its first CD soon. Play Back, made of up of four best friends and a new guitar player, has played around Terrace at as many local venues as possible and will playing a fundraiser for the local rugby team on April 27. The members have been working on a CD of their original songs, which they’re very excited about, says lead singer Kyle Gray. “This would definitely be our first. The other ones I wouldn’t even consider CDs,” said Gray.

It’s being recorded at Marshland Studios in Kitimat with friend Dustin Marsh and will be available on iTunes. A single is out on the band’s Facebook page. Gray, who’s vocals and guitar, guitarists Andre Pipe and Mario Furtado and drummer Will Westby have been playing together for five years, since about Grade 9, says Gray. After Pipe moved away last year, the band added bassist Ryan Sergerie, formerly of Grinder, and he stayed when Pipe moved back again this year. Foo Fighters, a favourite band, is known for having three guitars

that are very loud and Play Back models itself after them, he said. “We’re a very guitar driven band. We love loud guitars,” said Gray. The band’s name comes from a Tom Petty compilation album. “We’re trying to bring back that old sound. That’s where we think the best music lies,” he said, adding he would describe the band’s sound as loud rock. And they can be as loud as they want – their jam room is a shed built for them by Westby’s dad out in Jackpine Flats. Besides Foo Fighters, the band’s influenc-

It begins and

ends with Zeppelin for me,” Gray says. In their time together, the band members have become better songwriters, he says.

“The thing I think that impressed me is we’ve got a lot better at songwriting,” says Gray. “They actually

sound good and I’m very proud of them,” says Gray, adding he never used to be proud of what he wrote but now he is.

Volunteers wanted for garden

Ksan Society is recognizing BC’s 2013 Prevention of Violence Against Women Week this week with a Mother Earth Healing Garden work bee. Community members are invited to lend a hand to this healing space in the garden at 4838 Lazelle Avenue on Friday, April 19 from noon to 3 p.m. Ksan Society is seeking herb and vegetable plant donations, lawn furniture donations and helping hands for a light duty garden cleanup. In 1995 the British Columbia government declared one week in April as Prevention of Violence Against Women Week. This decision effectively began a movement to encourage the public to express its commitment to reducing and preventing violence against women, as well as to raise awareness that violence against women is unacceptable. Why do we recognize Prevention of Violence Against Women Week? * Each year, over 10,000 women and children seek safe shelter in transition homes and safe homes in British Columbia. * Violence against women affects all of us by impacting the safety of our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, children, partners and friends. * Collaboration among community members is necessary to increase safety of women and children. * Only within safe spaces, do women and children have opportunities for healing. Join in this opportunity to collaborate on a safe and welcoming healing garden for women and children, and to get an early start on Earth Day. Refreshments and snacks will be provided.

Winnifred Stella Coburn (nee: Howship)

August 26,1923 - March 6, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother on March 6th at Mills Memorial Hospital, at the age of 89. Born in Kincaid, Saskatchewan, she enlisted in the army in 1942 in Regina, following the footsteps of her father Charles Howship who fought in the war losing his leg at Vimy Ridge. Winnifred was sent to Nanaimo where she worked as an office assistant for the Royal Canadian Ordinance Corps. After the war, she and the family settled in Nanaimo, moving to Terrace BC in 1958. Winnifred is survived by her loving family - children Don (Tessie), Bob (Cindy), Ray (Laury), Joyce (Jim), Linda (Brad); her sister Gloria Herfindahl, her many grandchildren and great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Interment was held at the Terrace Municipal Cemetery on March 11, 2013. The family would like to convey their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Kenyon, Dr. Meyburg, the nurses at Mills Memorial, to Fr. Terry Brock and Pastor Dan Skaarland, the members of the Legion who gave their last tribute, Cindy of ”We Care”, the ladies of Kermode Friendship Society and to our many friends for their care, support, thoughts, prayers and kind gestures.

Historic win for northern girls “We could make history...” This is the thought that entered into the players of the North Female U16 team’s minds before the championship game at the U16 Female BC Cup – essentially the all star tournament of the female provincial minor hockey league, with six teams made up from 120 of the top female U16 players in B.C. – in Duncan on April 7. But in fact, they’d already made history, as no North team had ever won more than one game, let alone all four of their games to make it into the final championship match. Terrace players, centre Sage Desjardins, defenseman Deborah Wraight, and goalie Meghan Pritchett, teamed up with players from all over the north, as well as a handful of members of their provincial team – the Kermodes that had just weeks earlier taken gold at the provincial championships. The North went into the tournament as an underdog, with the two Lower Mainland teams favoured to win and the Terrace players had mixed feelings about their prospects. “We went to Winter Games last year and we got our butts kicked pretty bad,” said Desjardins. “It was my first time playing on the U16 team,” said Pritchett. “I’d never actually played at that level before so it was a new experience for me.” So, although feeling confident after their provincial win, the team didn’t go in with many expectations. But at the first hour-long practise the team focussed and listened to their coaches, learning the sys-

Here’s team North following their historic Female U16 BC Cup win. tem BC Hockey wanted them to run throughout the tournament. “These girls played the system every shift, every game exactly how BC Hockey wanted it done,” said coach Mario Desjardins, noting that while the North team might not have been the most talented, it was the most coachable team of the tournament. Part of the team’s focus was on blocking shots, with a goal of keeping their opponents shots on goal at less than 25 – and the girls have the bruises to prove how well they executed this task.

But aside from listening to their coaches and BC Hockey, the team quickly realized they could trust their teammates, and that there was an inherent intuitiveness amongst the players, many playing together for the first time. “Our team fell into place right away,” said Wraight. “You made that pass and they were already there, they knew to be there. It wasn’t like you were throwing it praying to God that somebody was skating over there, they were just there.” And so they worked their way

through the tournament – scoring more goals during their first game against Kootenay than during last year’s Winter Games, beating Island in the second game, Kootenay for the second time in the third, and finally beating Lower Mainland Blue in the semi-finals, in a shootout, no less. “That game was the one,” said Wraight. Then, they took on the other Lower Mainland team, Green, in the final, beating them in a no-nonsense 2-1 match and sweeping the tournament.

The win was different from their provincial win because of the immediacy of it all – this weekend was it, and this team had just come together days earlier. The win was “indescribable,” the girls all say in unison. “It felt really different [from the provincial win] because we’d been with the provincial team all season, and then we just came together with this team from all over,” said Desjardins. “With our provincial team we were together all season, and this one ... you’ve just gotta make it work,” said Wraight. “There’s no next game, there’s no way you can slide your way into a final, you’ve gotta do it right now.” Coach Desjardins agrees that the tournament was a whole new level of excitement – but it’s also the result of years of hard work in the northwest to foster the female hockey program, and hopefully only the beginning of a trend. Six years ago, when the Terrace Minor Hockey Association (TMHA) started female hockey in Terrace enrollment was 22 girls, he said. Now it’s grown to 70 and is still growing. “Who would have known when these girls were nine-years-old when we first started that six years later they would have won a Silver medal, a Gold medal for provincials and a BC Hockey Championship,” he said. Opportunities for female players are growing, with major scholarship opportunities available and junior leagues popping up all over the country.

Gymnasts raise the bar at provincials Five Terrace Peaks gymnasts travelled to Prince George April 6 - 7 for the 2013 BC Gymnastics Championships, and came home feeling more confident than ever in their skills. First time provincial competitors Ann Zettler, Maya Ebeling, Ashlee Monsen and Eva Almgren joined second-year competitor Shannon Schuster at the tournament, that saw 550 athletes from 30 clubs from all over the province bring the best level two and over athletes they had to offer. Terrace was part of zone 7 with Smithers and Kitimat. Two weeks before provincials, the team attended the Twisters Invitational in Abbotsford. “That was a tough competition,” said coach Ambra Marak. “All year I did have expecta-

tions of individual or even overall placing for two of the girls, but after Twisters we all knew we had lots of work to do in a very short amount of time.” So, with only five practises between the meets, the girls and Marak worked on polishing routines, confidence, and visualization. They also added in an extra practise the day before leaving for Prince George, which Marak says made a big difference. “Sometimes, because of the way the training schedule is and the time of the competition with travel time on either side the girls can have four or even five days with no training and that is not good,” she said. “Our provincial athletes are definitely becoming stronger competitors though competition expe-

rience,” she said. “As the year goes on they gain confidence in their routines.” At the meet, Terrace’s zone took sixth overall, with 144.400 points. And the Peaks saw standout performances, among them Shannon Schuster, seventh overall in Novice, Ashlee Monsen, ninth on beam for Tyro, and in Argo, Ann Zettler tied for ninth overall and Maya Ebeling 17th overall. For more results, see www.terracestandard. com. The team’s two big meets are now over, but they still have the Kitimat meet at the end of April, and the Smithers meet in June. “We’re working on new skills to increase our start value and all the girls should have new skills in their routines for these competitions,” she said.

Students to fund scuba trip with climbing wall Terrace residents will get a chance to try out the climbing wall at the Caledonia Gym on April 20 and 21. The Cal Crag wall, years in the making, was completed at the end of last year thanks to the support of community groups and the tenacity of Cal gym teacher Benjamin Mattheis. Now, he and his students are opening the wall to the public by donation for two days in order to raise money for a scuba diving trip in mid-May. “We have a big trip planned for May 17 in Prince Rupert,” Mattheis said. “We are going to go scuba diving and kayaking for the day. The students have loved the scuba program this year and are very excited to go.” The ocean dive is part of the first half of the scuba course, which some students plan to follow all the way to the end. “The students learn how to use the equipment, prepare for emergency situations,” he said, noting they also learn how to control their buoyancy and take care of a buddy who is out of air. The class is hoping the weekend of climbing will raise $1,500 for the scuba trip. The wall will be open April 20 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and April 21 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It’s the same weekend as the trades show at the Sportsplex, but Mat-

July 10-14. The players made the tournament following an intense tryout camp with 100 other players in Vanderhoof April 5-7. The Male BC Cup differs from the Female BC Cup in that it is a Jamboree event, meaning players will be mixed together from all regions, instead of head-to-head zone action, to keep a competitive balance amongst the teams. contributed PHOTO

ll winters are long. As you age, years get shorter and winters get longer – not only longer but harder. This is the way of decay. Joints stiffen. Cold days become less tolerable. A good sweater and water proof waders trump a good rod and a killing fly. Light and the amount of wind become important considerations when determining if one should go fishing. All of this is natural. It’s the way things go. The way they flow. The young angler is exhilarated by Spring and the new fish it will bring. The old angler sees it as confirmation that things are still working as they should and that he is still here. Old men are thrilled to see the first greenery on the forest floor, to see fiddle head ferns and skunk cabbage shoots pushing out of the saturated swamps. The distant calls of flickers, geese overhead, and mallards bursting from ponds are all events made more wonderful with the passage of years. I began walking the river channels of the Skeena below Braun’s Island in March when winter still had them in its icy grip. Everything was dry and cold. The river was as low as I’ve ever seen it. The occasional cry of an eagle or a raven was infrequent and startling. What was the main channel of the Skeena before the flood of 2008 was so low we crossed it in gum boots. The Dougs, Steele and Webb, and I had travelled up Hell’s

and up, and children need to be accompanied by an adult. Shoes are also necessary, with a limited selection of shoes sizes 7-12 available at the gym, but kids should bring their own pair of clean shoes. Helmets will be provided, but are not required.

Opportunities for female players “At the BC Cup exOlympians Gina Kingsbury and Rebecca Russell, whom are very involved with Canadian Female Hockey, said in the not too distant future female players will have a professional league where players will be getting paid to play, not NHL salaries of course, but at least getting

The eggs in these nests are safe from the pressure exerted by a man walking, but it’s not clear if they can withstand the pressure of someone on an All Terrain Vehicle. And, though it is illegal to operate motor vehicles in salmon habitat, wet or dry, there were ATV tracks in all of these channels and alongside the Skeena. About a week later the dog and I walked the same route again. The small fish were dimpling the beaver pond still. We followed tracks to the Skeena, and I noticed the water had risen a few centimetres and areas that were dry the week before were turning into small ponds. Every one was full of silvery salmon fry. Small streams had formed. They were teeming with fish too. I was elated until I heard the sound of motors. I turned. Off in the distance was a man on an ATV. Between him and the handlebars was a small girl, three maybe four years old. Neither wore a helmet, nor did the two boys who looked to be about six years old, perched on the ATV next to them. The man, presumably the father of some or all of the children, was leading the kids through the same fry-filled channels I had passed a few minutes earlier. The sight was ineffably sad.
