Miners converge on city MORE THAN 750 delegates have begun registering at the Terrace Sportsplex today, touching off the three-day Minerals North 2013 conference. And with more than 500 of those delegates coming from out of town, the event has resulted in full hotels and motels, fishing lodges and other forms of accommodation. By the numbers, it’s the best attended Minerals North convention in the 25 year history of the annual event, which promotes and celebrates northern British Columbia’s mineral development potential.

Evan van Dyk from the Terrace Economic Development Authority and one of the conference’s key coordinators, says the economic impact of the event can’t be understated. “It’s a great opportunity for businesses and people to showcase the city,” he said. “It’s very exciting.” The influx of people has had such an impact that van Dyk’s heard stories of businesspeople unconnected with Minerals North having to change their travel plans because they could not get a seat on an airplane flying into Terrace this week or even if they could get in, they

couldn’t find accommodation. “The delegates will be very visible. Unlike Roundup where you put 8,000 people into a large city, here they will be noticeable,” said van Dyk of an annual mining conference held in Vancouver. While a core group planned the event, which includes presentations from mining companies and others, van Dyk said nearly 75 volunteers are providing the ways and means to make the event happen. “There are very good volunteers in this city. I had always heard this was a good city for volunteers. It

wasn’t a struggle to find people, they’ve really stepped up,” he said. The general public has a chance tomorrow afternoon between 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. to view the trade show portion of the conference at the Sportsplex. More than 100 booths occupied by mining companies and the companies that provide services to the industry can be visited. “It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the industry and for those interested in employment, they can learn what’s involved,” said van Dyk.

The annual event which draws competitors from around the region wound up April 20 with an evening gala performance at the theatre.

THE CITY is selling the majority of the former Terrace Co-op location on Greig Ave. between Emerson and Kalum to a Calgary-based hotel developer for $877,500. The company, Superior Lodging Corp. of Calgary, wants to build what it describes as a midscale establishment for business and travel, said company vice president Eric Watson. “We’re looking at approximately a 100-room hotel, meeting space between 1,500-2,000 square feet with an indoor pool and cool waterslide and fitness centre with pretty high end equipment with some retail,” Watson said. “We like the economic growth prospects of the region, that’s really why we are there. There are a lot of older motels so there was the opportunity to bring something fresh and new and modern into the market place.” Watson hopes to begin construction next spring on the 2.79 acre parcel but first has to wait for the city to obtain an environmental clean bill of health on the property and to subdivide the property. The hotel will most likely be four storeys high though that could change, Watson said. Not included in the land sale is a small portion on the corner of Emerson and Greig. A local company called the Skeena Brewing Company has an option to buy that portion where it wants to build a brew pub. Also not included is a strip of land reaching south from the corner of Greig and Kalum to the CN tracks. That’s been set aside for a public plaza and for a future cultural or community facility. A city-organized committee struck to determine uses for the property recommended a large portion of the property be set aside for a hotel or other development with the remainder set aside for community use.

■■ Hundreds4herb Hundreds of people turned up for Terrace’s first 420 event, hosted by local millionaire and marijuana activist, Bob Erb on Saturday, April 20 at the courthouse. “I’m impressed with the numbers, but I’m not surprised,” Erb told the crowd, before introducing a myriad of speakers including Skeena MLA Robin Austin.

Airport’s fiscal year is strongest ever He’s predicting an even stronger 2013 as spring turns into summer and construction project activity ramps up. One such project is Rio Tinto Alcan’s $3.3 billion rebuild of its Kitimat aluminum smelter. “They’ve told me they’ll be peaking their crew this year and that means a substantial increase coming for July and August and for at least six or seven months after that,” said Hendry. And plans by anoth-

er company to locate a work camp in Kitimat capable of holding several thousand people in anticipation of planned liquefied natural gas projects in that area also have Hendry predicting high numbers. “When you think of a rotation for a camp that size, it’s 500 people a week,” he said. Building up to a busier travel season, Air Canada Jazz/Express is adding a fourth daily flight as of May 1 and a fifth daily flight as of July 1.

NDP urging caution on gas industry

file PHOTO

premier christy Clark, with BC Liberal Skeena candidate Carol Leclerc beside her, takes questions from reporters during a campaign stop at MacCarthy Motors April 19.

Premier promotes LNG PREMIER CHRISTY Clark says she remains confident of hitting one goal of her plan to turn the province into a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export powerhouse. And that’s to have one LNG plant up and running by 2015, a key provision of her BC Jobs Plan first announced in September 2011. “We can make the deadline for the first one,” said Clark on a campaign stop in Terrace April 19. The 2011 plan also calls for three LNG plants to be in operation by 2020. Hitting those marks is a also a key requirement of a BC Liberal promise to establish a $100 billion Prosperity Fund using tax and revenues tied to a provincial LNG export industry. Money from the fund would be used to eliminate the provincial debt, lower taxes and pay for social and other programs, the BC Liberals have promised. Speaking to a partisan gathering at Skeena BC Liberal Carol Leclerc’s campaign office, Clark said revenues would be based on prices five times higher than those being realized in North America which is awash in the commodity. Those higher prices are being realized from Asian customers hun-

gry for LNG to fuel economic growth. For the moment, those prices are linked to the cost of oil, a factor Asian customers are increasingly rejecting as they now prefer to pay rates closer to those in North America. Clark expressed confidence on achieving higher prices, saying the BC Liberal Prosperity Fund $100 billion figure was based on conservative estimates. The crucial aspect to a successful Prosperity Fund plan is to sell LNG beyond North America, she said. “It’s better to have more than one customer,” Clark added. The premier acknowledged that Asian customers want a better pricing deal than one linked to the cost of oil. “That’s how business works,” she said. And having more than one customer will provide a provincial LNG industry with a better ability to set prices, Clark continued. Clark’s 2011 BC Jobs Plan was released at a time when there were two active proposals, both based in Kitimat. Each of those proposals, Kitimat LNG and BC LNG Export Co-op, now has full environmental clearance and federal approval to export LNG. Both continue to work on finding cus-

tomers in advance of making final development decisions. Kitimat LNG, owned by Chevron and Apache, continues to work on site preparations for its planned facility at Bish Cove near Kitimat.

“We just don’t want to come and take. We want to build communities,” Since 2011, the number of LNG proposals has increased with Shell, along with Asian partners, also wanting to build at Kitimat under the Canada LNG proposal. At the same time, the Malaysian state energy company called Petronas and an international energy giant called the BG Group have set on the Prince Rupert area as a location for their own facilities. Natural gas pipelines stretching across the north from northeastern gas fields would also be needed to feed the plants. But pricing remains a concern among companies wanting to build LNG plants. Speaking last week at an energy conference in Houston, Texas, an Apache senior vice president referred to the situation.

“The price expectations now do not support the development of those greenfield projects in British Columbia,” said Janine McArdle, Apache’s senior vice president of gas monetisation. Clark also promised to establish what she called a rural dividend for communities affected by large scale industrial development so they can better cope with their impact. Clark said smaller municipalities will be under pressure to provide roads and other infrastructure as people move in to take advantage of resource industry employment. “You’re going to pay a little bit of a price,” Clark told the gathering at Leclerc’s headquarters. By providing money, Clark said her government would recognize the cost of dealing with growing populations and associated demand. Just as important, she said, was the idea of keeping some money where it is generated. “It is not good enough to produce the resource here and send all the money down south,” she said. Initial expectations would have the Prosperity Fund paying out $25 million a year beginning in three or four years. The province already

has a program in northeastern B.C. whereby local governments receive money each year taken from natural gas and oil royalties. A similar program for the northwest would have to be tailored for regional needs, Clark told reporters afterward. “We would have to work out a fair return for those communities,” she said. “We just don’t want to come and take. We want to build communities,” Clark added. Still to be decided are details such as what is a rural community and what is not and what communities will qualify based on impacts to them, said the premier. “I’m sure Vancouver will probably try and make an argument,” she said. Although the rural dividend program is being framed largely around the promise of a substantial liquefied natural gas export industry, there are other industrial developments underway. The northwest is also set to benefit from the construction of BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line. One mine, the Red Chris copper and gold mine owned by Imperial Metals, is already under construction and is scheduled to be the transmission line’s first customer beginning next year.

Premier Christy Clark has been touting her support for the proposed Site C dam project in the northeast, saying energy from the project is needed to support the various liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects anticipated throughout the province. But her NDP opponents say by the time Site C is finished – if it’s approved – it will be too late for LNG. “Site C has nothing to do with LNG,” said Skeena NDP candidate Robin Austin, who is seeking re-election. “The time it would take Site C to be built, the window for us to get into the market in LNG would have come and gone... she’s completely inaccurate.” Rob Fleming, who is also seeking re-election as an NDP candidate for a southern Vancouver Island riding, and who visited Terrace recently, echoed Austin’s claim, saying it would be years before Site C is approved. “Site C is at stage three of a five-stage environmental review,” he said. “Already they’re coming into major geotechnical concerns...there’s also escalating costs, this is now at something like $9 to 11 billion, when they started looking at it it was $3 billion. Who knows where that’s going to be when they finish the review in 2017?” There are other energy alternatives being looked at in the area, Fleming said, citing wind power and potentially boosting the output of already existing hydroelectric dams as methods to produce power needed by LNG plants. At the same time, Fleming called for a comprehensive review of how natural gas is taken from the ground, giving the time frame of six months for such a study. “Long enough so that a considerate, comprehensive report can be produced, but short enough so that it doesn’t drag on so long that we miss opportunities,” Fleming continued. “It is developing very rapidly in the northeast,” said Fleming of the extraction industry, “and some of the regulatory gaps that have been identified and criticized are things that the province of B.C. has to study itself.” “There’s some investment interest in the province of B.C. but few have submitted documentation,” he said. Pipeline route details and airshed concerns, specifically in Kitimat and tied to the type of energy used to produce LNG, are other topics that need to be addressed with industry, he said. “I think industry realizes that it can only operate in British Columbia if it shows that it’s developing a crown resource safely,” said Fleming. And while the NDP understands the concerns about hydraulic fracturing, the process increasingly being used to extract natural gas from the ground, Fleming says it is going to happen, and that B.C. should look toward jurisdictions such as Illinois, which will have some of the strictest fracking laws on the planet following collaborations between industry, environmental groups and legislatures in drafting regulations. “It’s going to happen. In B.C. there’s no possibility of a moratorium on it because it is happening,” Fleming said. “So how do we, going forward, make sure fracking in British Columbia is done safely?”

Members of the Rock return home with ‘eyes opened wide’ and ‘hearts deeply moved’ EIGHT MEMBERS of the Rock Community Church returned from their trip to Belize to build a house for a family and put on a children’s program with stories to tell and photos to share about their journey and the people they met. Pastor Mike Rosenau tells a bit about his experience and the Cowo family, who now has a safe house to live in, also sent their regards in a letter to the church. “They’re beautiful people who live in very humble circumstances,” said Rosenau about the families in the towns of San Felipe and Blue Creek. A photo of Rosenau and the eldest son of the family, who the team was to build a house for, Juan Cowo, above right, starts off the story of the team’s and family’s journey together. “This shot was taken at about 6:30 p.m. on the day we arrived,” said Rosenau. “We had just driven from the Belize International Airport and were on our way to our hosts homes in Blue Creek. San Felipe is on the way to Blue Creek, and so I asked the driver to stop at the building site. “When we drove in, Juan was working alone pushing a wheelbarrow. He had worked there every day, often by himself, to get the site ready for our builders. When we pulled in, I stepped out to greet him. We both recognized each other from pictures we had seen of each other over the last year as we were preparing to come down. As soon as we saw each other, we were both overcome with emotion and hugged each other. The day had finally come. It was actually going to happen, a home would be build on this very spot, and this young man and his family would be the ones receiving it. The four-day children’s program kicked off with a roar, and 200 to 300 children from San Felipe – a massive 115’ x 60’ tent, pink parachutes, dozens of beach balls of sizes 34” to 80” diameter, crafts, games, visits by unusual super heroes, much laughter, music, puppets, and an unforgettable 2,000 balloon water fight that ended in a free-for-all where everyone one was soaked, moms with babies, old grammas, all the workers, and hundreds of children chasing and soaking everyone, said Rosenau. The building team, now working smoothly and amping up their productivity, began putting in some evening hours to finish the house. The second to the last night when several of the workers had decided to work late into the night, two of the younger Cowo family children wanted to stay in their new house. The family pulled in a mattress and the kids fell asleep with ear plugs in their ears as the builders hammered around them. “One of the builders said it was at that moment he realized that what they were really doing was building a safe and secure place for this family,” said Rosenau. “This whole experience has been life-changing for our whole team. We have all come back with our eyes opened wide and our hearts deeply moved. It really was remarkable,” said Rosenau. In a thank-you letter to the Rock, the mother Esabel Cowo said, “I am the mother of six sons and one daughter. These are the children God gave me. As a woman, it was very hard to make our home attractive. I felt bad cooking and even when I got up in the morning and looked outside I couldn’t feel peaceful and secure. Now I am so happy about this new house. It is a safe place for my family. It is secure...You have all made us very happy. I thank all of you who gave and worked to make a beautiful home for us. It is such a large gift you have given. I thank God for this house.” Eldest son Juan added, “My mother and father walk around this new home almost in disbelief saying, ‘Is it possible that this beautiful house is actually ours?’ We want to thank all of you from Terrace and from the Rock church who gave so much to give us this new home. It is hard to express how grateful we are to all of you. May God bless you for your generosity and willingness to help others.”

CLOCKWISE FROM above: Lazaro and Joel Cowo, the two youngest sons, sleep in their new house even before it’s finished being built; Rock Community Church pastor Mike Rosenau meets Juan Cowo, the eldest son of the family, when the team stops by the building site on its way to its host families’ places; the build team nears completion on the house; the children’s program features puppet shows like this one, giant beach balls, crafts and other activities for the children.

EDITORIAL

25 years BACK in 1988, Terrace was just emerging from a harsh recession caused by a downturn in the forest industry. Unemployment ran in the high teens and a number of work programs kept food on the table for many people. But there was a growing optimism. Construction of a new Skeena Cellulose sawmill was well underway, part of a regional network of processing facilities undertaken by the company’s owner, Repap Enterprises, which promised to put the region on a solid footing. That was the backdrop when the first edition of The Terrace Standard hit the streets on April 27, 1988. Since then, some 1,300 issues of The Terrace Standard have been printed and this issue of April 24, 2013 marks 25 years of publication. Those issues chronicled the opening of the Skeena Cellulose mill in the fall of 1988, the boom years which followed, the death throes of that company beginning in 1997 which touched off a regional recession lasting more than a decade, the intricate negotiations leading to the signing of the Nisga’a Final Agreement in 2000, closures of schools and businesses, the loss of population, the passings of residents, the births of others, community celebrations both large and small, the 2007 flood and that amazing period of time culminating in Hockeyville 2009. No one can predict next week let alone 25 years. But count on The Terrace Standard being there. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Doing it right the Mike Holmes way

elevision rerun season has made me search for new programs to watch. One program I enjoy is “Holmes on Homes.” Mike Holmes, known for “making it right,” tackles building projects that have been botched by unqualified, unlicensed builders with no pride in their work. I know just enough about construction to appreciate Holmes’ expertise and insistence on quality workmanship to give the customer value for his money and a safe, comfortable home. The first Holmes’ program I watched from start to finish involved rebuilding a ramp for a man wheelchair bound by multiple sclerosis. The original contractor had ignored so many code rules and cut so many corners it was pitiful. He built the ramp on supports set on top the ground where freezing and thawing would cause the ramp to move up and down weakening its underpinning. He added no railings to protect the man from wheeling right off on to the ground. He made it too steep, so that the man’s wife had difficulty pushing his wheelchair

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI up the ramp. And he used ordinary bolts and nails – rather than galvanized or stainless steel – that began rusting within a year. Other of Holmes’ programs have given me the willies seeing how homeowners have been duped into paying good dollars for a shoddy job – load bearing walls removed to satisfy an interior decorator; exhaust from an attached garage piped into the home’s basement; driveway sloped so runoff goes directly into the basement to keep everything wet and mouldy. A wheelchair ramp built to code rises gently at one

inch per foot, which is why many ramps need a switchback to fit the 30 feet or so length within a standard sized home lot. The ramp sits on supports dug four feet into the ground, each resting on a concrete pad at the bottom. Both sides of the ramp have sturdy railings that can prevent a wheelchair from tumbling over the side, and also protect children and anyone walking up or down the ramp. The ramp surface has to be non-skid. Holmes painted his ramp with a paint containing grit. Along the way Holmes give tips on getting value for money when hiring a contractor to perform any work for you. First, “don’t let the contractor begin work until the building permit is in the window.” Don’t settle for taking the contractor’s word that he has a building permit for your job. Ask to have it posted where neighbours can see it. Having a building permit means the plans (whether drawn up by an architect or a qualified carpenter) have been vetted by a building inspector to make sure the

S TANDARD

plans meet code and the construction will satisfy local bylaws. The building inspector’s approval is a second opinion safeguarding your investment. Pay your contractor in increments as the job progresses rather than one lump sum before the work begins or when the job is done. That way if some part of the job proves to be substandard, you have some financial leverage. Before hiring a contractor, ask to see other jobs he has done, check with friends or neighbours who have hired him and been satisfied with his work. Be leery about hiring a contractor who shows up out of the blue to tell you you need a new roof or other renovation. He could be a flyby-night scammer. Too often customers can’t see exactly what’s been done or how a contractor has carried out his job; they must trust that he knows his stuff and takes sufficient pride in his work to do each step correctly. Once wallboard is added and painted over, or a foundation backfilled, who can guess what might be lurking out of sight to create major problems later.

RIO tinto Alcan is replacing old potline technology with new systems as part of a $3.2 billion rebuild of its Kitimat aluminum smelter. But plans to increase emissions have raised worries about the environmental impact.

Rio Tinto can cut emissions Dear Sir: The economics of life versus the economics of wealth. We don’t need more tons of sulphur dioxide in our air, water and soil. The Northwest already has more health problems than the Lower Mainland and we have a much harder

time accessing equal health care. How much is your child’s health worth? How much is your grandmother’s or grandfather’s life worth? How much is the health of our environment worth? What is the fair rate of compensation for multinational executives?

How many of our children and elders should we sacrifice for the good of those executives? Nowadays high rolling executives expect more luxury than most kings did in the past. One home is not enough. Two homes are not enough. They must

have the equivalent income of a thousand ordinary Canadians. The shareholders of Rio Tinto and its executives are staking the size of their dividends and bonuses on the indifference of our provincial government to our children’s misery. Our children’s health

will suffer from doubling the amount of sulphur dioxide emissions. They will suffer, I believe, from more respiratory ailments and more of our elders will die from the same. Sulphur dioxide is not kind to the lungs of asthmatics.

Especially since the NDP seem to have everything securely in the bag. Nationally, if all three parties should merge, would Joyce Murray lead the Coalition Party or the now MP for Skeena? It is my opinion Stephen Harper will win the next election as the people want their votes secure. The people want their votes to go to the candidate of their choice and the idea of a coalition at this time is anti-democratic and will rob people of a choice in an actual election. The idea is a bad one. Justin Trudeau is now the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. He is young and grew up with politicians who were great leaders of this country. I do not agree with proportional representation. That takes away how the people voted, another idea that is floating around. Mary Dalen, Cedarvale, B.C.

Fortune Minerals needs to abandon its mine plan

et’s go back to 2005. Eskay Creek was winding down and Galore Creek was planning the next big mine but there was little certainty that anything would go through. The safe assumption would be that communities would jump at the chance for jobs in the mining sector on an emerging project like Fortune Minerals. Three commonly known rules in building a successful business: Location, location, location. Fortune’s open-pit coal mine they call Arctos Anthracite, proposed for Mt. Klappan, rises above the iconic valleys of the legendary Spatsizi Wilderness Plateau in the heart of the Sacred Headwaters. Generations old Tahltan hunting camps dot the caribou rich flanks and the headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine are visible from the summit. Fortune Minerals pushed hard even though community members turned down their jobs and blockaded the company in order to protect the culture and hunting values they have at Mt. Klappan.

Like a bully in the playground, Fortune had 15 community members arrested, including 13 elders from Iskut. These arrests rattled the community and broke the hearts of the grandchildren who stood helpless as their grandparents were carted away in handcuffs. This sparked an international campaign to protect the area from large-scale industrial development. It was Fortune’s arrests that uncovered Shell’s plans to drill for coalbed methane. The Tahltan Nation collaborated with downstream residents to oppose Shell’s ill-conceived idea while Fortune waited quietly in the background. Municipal governments and First Nations from all three watersheds supported a unified campaign to protect the Headwaters. It didn’t make sense to transform the source of our wild salmon rivers into an industrial wasteland. In 2008, the province responded with a four-year moratorium on coalbed methane in the headwaters. In December 2012, Shell vol-

g u e s t c o mm e n t SHANNON MCPHAIL untarily withdrew its plans and the BC government permanently banned all future oil and gas activities citing, “The Klappan is an area that has been identified by the Tahltan Nation as having significant cultural, spiritual, and social values. It is also an area of vital salmon-bearing waterways such as the Stikine, Nass, and Skeena rivers, and as such has importance for all British Columbians who rely on those rivers.”

Just as Shell’s plans headed to the shredder and the BC government commits to a planning process with the Tahltan for the headwaters, Fortune Minerals rides in on its black horse kicking up dust in everyone’s eyes. The Tahltan and communities didn’t fight for 10 years to protect the headwaters so Fortune could proceed with an open-pit coalmine right in the heart of it. The only thing standing in the way of permanent protection is Fortune Minerals. Let’s have Fortune admit the truth, their mineral claims are in an unfortunate location. Their plan to reconstruct the 60-yearold crumbling railway from Fort St. James to Dease Lake and run 24,000 tonnes of coal every three days for 25 years is an irrevocable blow to the Klappan and upper Skeena river. That’s 100km of railway right beside our pristine Skeena as it flows from the Sacred Headwaters. A 1977 BC Royal Commission into the condition of this abandoned railgrade regarded it, “...as one of the most serious un-

resolved environmental problems in British Columbia.” Those problems continue to this day and Fortune’s proposed reconstruction of the railway for an industrial corridor would drastically increase the likelihood that other companies will jump on the train and pursue lesser known coal tenures scattered along the Skeena and its headwater tributaries. Our wild salmon and steelhead swimming through it all. The mining sector has a whole lot going for it along Highway 37 – mining, exploration, hydro projects, transmission lines, etc. all moving forward. What we need in the Sacred Headwaters are healthy rivers, wild salmon and areas of cultural identity that we can share with our children. Will Fortune Minerals continue to waste taxpayer time and money on this bad idea when we know it will never happen?

OPINION

A8 www.terracestandard.com

The Mail Bag City needs to do its part Dear Sir: Regarding articles on recycling – there most definitely is a quick fix. It is annoying, frustrating and disappointing that city council would even think that a business could operate for free. The city had a con-

tract in place with Kasey at Do Your Part Recycling and she went out and spent a lot of money to upgrade her equipment and get the job done. She had already been collecting more material, more types of plastic, metal, etc. than Waste Management

were going to. These people come into town and the city drops her like a hot potato. Now to fix this problem, they need to drop on one knee and apologize to Do Your Part and get them back on the job. I like the idea of having garbage pickup one

week and recycling the next. This will also help financially. Also a big thank-you to Save On Foods for doing more than their share. It is time, long overdue, for the City to do the right thing. Vi Timmerman, Terrace, B.C.

MP, gov’t missing the boat Dear Sir: Your April 27, 2013 editorial on the special federal representative that supposedly is to clear turbulent waters of unextinguished aboriginal rights begs the question, what about the other “half” of citizens of this riding: Is

anyone coming to clear our “turbulent waters”? Is the federal government, by this appointment, telling us that we are or were inadequately and unequally represented? If this is true, then in my opinion Skeena Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cul-

len, who thinks his party is a government in waiting, missed the opportunity in the past eight years to work for all the people of this riding. Had he done so honestly we could have had better positive prospects for everyone concerned. Sadly, jobs and eco-

nomics of this riding were not his political priority. He chooses to work for and with self interests groups only. He also may have to live for the rest of his term in this special representative’s shadow. Leon Dumstrey-Soos, Kitimat B.C.

Rio Tinto can ease emissions And they are being told not to exercise as that makes it worse in a sulphur dioxide environment. I have two children who suffer from asthma which is a fast growing problem in Canada connected to environmental pollutants. I don’t think that any executive’s compensation is worth the agony that our children might experience as a result. I cannot imagine anything worse than seeing your child struggle to breathe. It is then that we appreciate how fragile our life really is. I think that the investors in Rio Tinto and the managers of Rio Tinto should be ashamed of themselves for proposing a doubling of the SO2 emissions. Rio Tinto is one of the richest companies in the world and it can well afford to pay for an expensive, state of the art, pollution control system. They, however, seem to be gambling that our government will allow them to take a pass at protecting our health and the health of our environment which will allow them to pocket millions of dollars in savings, maybe as much as a hundred million

dollars. Why is my life less valuable than the comfort and privilege of Rio Tinto shareholders? Why are the lives of my neighbours not worth the same as the lives of their shareholders in London and New York? We should be able to rely on our governments to nudge large companies in the right and honourable direction. In 2013, we should not be in this place of considering a doubling of SO2 into our watershed. We have the technology to capture those gasses that are so destructive to our health and we have a voice to demand better treatment from our government and from our foreign multinationals. Come on Rio Tinto, you can do the right thing! I urge everyone who lives here in this beautiful valley to write our MLA, the minister of the environment, and Rio Tinto and express their feelings about releasing more sulphur dioxide and acid rain into our valley.

Terrace runner witness to bombings in Boston By Anna Killen

he millions of eyes glued to television and computer screens in the immediate aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings likely knew more about what was happening on the ground than the athletes and their supporters in the chaos of the attack zone – that was certainly the case for Terrace’s Donna and Gord Hull, who were separated for over three hours throughout the afternoon of April 15. Donna was 200 yards away from crossing the finish line of her first Boston Marathon when the first explosion went off just up the block in front of her. She stopped short, and barely had time to ask the police officer closest to her what was going on, if this was for real, when a second, smaller explosion went off, this one just behind her. “The bombing was unreal,” she said. “I couldn’t believe what just happened, it was horrific to witness.” Then panic set in – she automatically thought Gord had been in the explosion. The scene was instant chaos, with officers ushering athletes out of the way, telling them, “Clear the area, clear out of here, get out of here,” and so she moved off the road and began asking people on the street if she could use their cell phones. When the explosions went off, Gord was standing in the family area just past the finish line with family of his from the Massachusetts area. “I knew there was a shipyard not that far away and the fellow I was with, he used to be in the military, and I said to him, ‘Any chance they’re shooting from the big deck guns over on the harbour, or what?’ He didn’t know either. You just don’t know,

you hear this big boom,” said Gord. Within minutes it became clear that this wasn’t a drill, that something had gone seriously wrong. Family members began calling almost instantly, reporting that they’d heard it was a bomb and asking them if they were all right. Gord desperately wanted to get a hold of Donna – he had taken a photo of her earlier in the race, and told her he’d see her at the finish line. But cell service was shut off, as authorities didn’t know if more bombs could be set off by cell phones. “That just made everything worse and compounded the communication problems,” he said. “She tried calling, trying to locate me, and I was on the other side trying to locate her, but there was just no way to kind of get together... it was real chaos.” And so they both waited, blocks away from each other but with increasing anxiety that the other was seriously hurt. “There was just that two or three hour window where you don’t know what’s going on, and that’s when the horrible thoughts and feelings begin to cross your mind,” he said. “We’d been sitting there watching ambulances go by, you don’t know how many are wounded or injured, you don’t know how many are dead, you don’t know. And then of course, the longer it goes without finding her, the worse you think something tragic has happened.” Eventually, near the three-hour mark, Donna made her way back to the hotel. She’d been checking hospitals and still didn’t know where Gord was. Phoning home, she found her three children there together. They told her how worried they’d been – they’d been following her progress online and knew she had to have been close to the explosions. They also told her that Gord was okay.

for all she does...

“It was so emotional for me to talk to my kids at that point,” she said. “The race didn’t matter. You’re happy to find out your husband’s okay, and the kids and stepkids and friends... It was overwhelming support for us in Terrace. ” Moments later, Gord got the call from his daughter. “She said, ‘Donna’s okay, she’s trying to track you down too,’” he said. “Just a huge sense of relief, knowing she’s fine.” He hurried back to the hotel and when he saw her, said it was just “elation.” The couple left Boston the next evening for Florida, and are still coming to grips with the experience. “We’re very thankful and just happy to be alive, really,” she said. “The Boston experience to run it was amazing. I’d say to anyone go and do it, don’t be afraid of this.” Donna has run plenty of marathons in her time – and she’s known to be at the top of the pack in Terrace races. But, as Gord points out, the stories she tells about Boston won’t be about the race, they’ll be about the aftermath. And while there isn’t another Boston Marathon planned for the pair, that’s not because of what happened, it’s because this marathon was meant to be her last. “Boston itself, the city of Boston, the people of Boston, they are absolutely the best people ever,” Gord said. “The people of Boston deserve a pat on the back for how supportive they are to the runners.” There’s no doubt in his mind the city will recover. “People as a whole are resilient,” he said. “You get over it, you shake yourself off and you carry on. It’s unfortunate, but this stuff is going to happen. It’s gonna happen someplace, you just always hope it never hits home with you.”

Revised coal plan submitted

THE COMPANY that wants to develop a coal mine in northwestern B.C. has submitted a revised plan to provincial regulatory authorities. Fortune Minerals of London, Ontario says it has amended an original plan to reduce environmental impacts in hopes of approval for an anthracite mine taking out three million tonnes of coal a year over 25 years for export through facilities in Prince Rupert. The Arctos Anthracite Project is located in the Klappan area and Fortune has held licences there for a number of years. Fortune would need a 150km rail line built on an existing railbed right-of-way south to connect to existing track so the coal could be taken to Prince Rupert. The revised project description has been submitted to the BC Environmental Assessment Office and Fortune hopes a provincial review can include elements of a federal review to avoid duplication. Dr. Richard Schryer, Fortune’s Director of Regulatory and Environmental Affairs, commented, “substitution of the federal EA process enables cooperation between jurisdictions in the delivery of timely, high quality EAs to achieve the objective of a ‘one project-one assessment’ approach.” Anthracite is a high quality hard metallurgical coal suitable for use in a broad range of steel making and metallurgical processes and as a raw material to manufacture synthetic products. If all goes according to plan, Fortune would submit a final report to the provincial environmental assessment office in early 2014, starting the clock on a 180-day formal review of the project. The company two years ago took on a partner by selling 20 per cent of the project to POSCAN, the Canadian subsidiary of POSCO of South Korea, one of the world’s largest steel producers. The Klappan is within Tahltan traditional territory and the Tahltan have objected to the development, saying it threatens the headwaters of three rivers, the Skeena, the Nass and the Stikine. Fortune says as many as 500 direct jobs and 1,000 jobs in supporting activities would be created, generating more than $10 billion in revenues and $900 million in combined federal and provincial taxes. The revised plan means Fortune has no intention of giving them up in a similar fashion as Shell did late last year when it surrendered its licences to drill for coalbed methane gas in the Klappan. In return, Shell is receiving $20 million in provincial royalty credits it will now use to develop a water recycling facility in northeastern B.C. Kemp said no one has ever approached Fortune with any equivalent offer to surrender its licences. “There’s been no discussion with respect to altering our rights to explore and mine coal under the leases we have at all.” Kemp also called unfortunate comments made by Tahltan Central Council president Annita McPhee earlier this year that Fortune plans to put a tailings pond in the middle of a Tahltan hunting camp area. “There’s been a lot of miscommunication going around,” said Kemp. He said coal is an organic material and a tailings pond containing chemicals used to separate ore from waste rock isn’t required. What the Arctos mine will have is a washing process to clean the coal and while this will generate waste water, the vast majority of the quantity used will be recycled, he said. “There will be waste rock piled up and this will be part of the consultation effort we will go through. If there is a [hunting] camp in the area and there is waste rock and if we don’t know what the impact will be on certain camp locations, if that is so, we will make accommodation and think of ways to make changes,” Kemp added. Previous developmental work by Fortune in the Klappan has met with opposition from the Tahltan and when Shell first voluntarily stopped its work in the area more than four years ago, so did Fortune. Fortune changed the name of what had been the Mount Klappan Anthracite Metallurgical Coal Project to the Arctos Anthracite Project last year in a bid to give it a fresh start. Kemp said Fortune will continue to make best efforts to work with the Tahltan.

Hotel proposed on Co-op lands That resulted in the Terrace Economic Development Authority commissioning a hotel feasibility study, setting off a search for developers which resulted in the deal with Superior. Superior Lodging seemed the most committed to the Terrace community, said Heather Avison, the city’s chief administration officer. The sale will affect the Terrace and District Community Services Society’s CoreSTORE which sells used goods, she said. It’s located in the building which once housed the Terrace Co-op garden centre. “We are very excited about the proposed development from Superior Lodging,” said Mayor Dave Pernarowski of the sale. “Attracting investment to our community, creating jobs, and growing our tax base have been focused objectives for the City of Terrace and our community partners.” Rio Tinto Alcan, the Terrace Economic Development Authority and the Northern Development Initiative Trust financed the hotel feasibility study. The location was once home to a thriving shopping centre complex owned by the Terrace Co-operative Association containing a grocery

store, a hardware store, a clothing store, cafeteria and smaller retail outlets. It was closed in the late 1990s, a victim to changing shopping habits and a regional recession sparked by the collapse of the forest industry. The property was then bought by a private developer and sold to the city in late 2005 for $1 million, a decision that was heavily criticized. Various ideas were floated for the property and building, including renovating the structure. But it was torn down by the city at a cost of nearly $300,000 in 2011 financed by a provincial grant originally intended to rebuild a portion of Davis Ave. That grant was received after the city paid for the work itself, freeing up the money for another use. The strip of land the city is keeping for a public plaza and for community contained a gas bar as part of the Terrace Co-op building. Getting environmental clearance there is considered more challenging than the remainder of the property. Superior Lodging Corp. has built more than 150 hotels over the past 20 years and is the owner of the master territorial development rights for Super 8 Hotels and Microtel Inns & Suites by Wyndham in Canada.

Demo planned at conference The local Idle No More movement has Minerals North in its sights, with a peaceful demonstration set for tomorrow, Thursday, April 25 at 5 p.m. at the Terrace Sportsplex. The event, the group's seventh since the Idle No More movement began late last year, will focus on the need to respect the earth while mining and the Federal omnibus bill amending the environmental assessment act. “It is understood an economy must exist within today’s society, but why must that economy be based on pure greed with barely any respect towards the land and environment,” said Idle No More organizer Brigitte Watts. “We should be thinking about sustainable ways of metal extraction.” The group also questions the tim-

ing of the conference, as it coincides with Earth Week. “It’s a slap in the face,” she said. “Of all the weeks of the year, why this week? It’s obvious translation is that Minerals North could care less for the Earth.” The hype around Idle No More has slowed over the last few months – but Watts says the ones who remain committed to the movement are stronger than ever, and ready to spark demonstrations when necessary. The group isn’t sure what to expect at the demo. “There is a concern of verbal retaliation because Idle No More Terrace has never been in close proximity to any targeted group in the past,” she said, noting the group is expected to stay peaceful at all times.

Heritage Park growing steadily

Wednesday, April 24, 2013 Terrace Standard

By Josh massey During my interview with Terrace Heritage Park Museum curator Kelsey Wiebe at her office in a preserved heritage house I heard several beeps coming from outside. A motion sensor at the front gate, Wiebe explained. Though each time she checked out the window, she said nobody was there. “Just the wind ...” she said. “... probably.” If there are ghosts at the heritage museum, they must be flattered at all the attention they have been getting under Wiebe’s curatorship. For one thing, Wiebe revealed at the museum’s March 28 AGM that Terrace has been chosen to host the BC Museums Association annual general meeting June 14-16. Wiebe told the board of directors that 2012 saw a rise to 1,300 general tourists from 1,000 the year before. Special event numbers also rose from 3,410 to 3,589 despite the teachers strike. The board has been pushing for city council to provide money for a new downtown museum, however, nothing was included in this year’s city budget. A recent grant of $20,000 from local lottery millionaire Bob Erb means another boost. “We have some funds set aside in a donations account for the downtown museum,” Wiebe said, though not “great amounts ... we put some of Bob Erb’s money aside for the downtown museum and will use another portion for either programming or a capital project this summer.” For now, staff continues to plan for the museum, and to build their case for it. The museum held 50 or more special events last summer. “That was just me being crazy,” Wiebe said. “When a summer student would suggest something, I would say yes.” Highlights from last year included staging a historical drama, and hosting an artists-in-residence program organized as part of the Summer Arts Festival, as well as multiple events at River Boat Days, with the help of a huge volunteer turnout. Special events benefitted from the help of 987 volunteer hours, and 1,599 volunteer hours were put towards organizing special events. The total hours represented about $50,595 value last year, Wiebe said. Halloween party attendance hit 900—the most since the event started 12 years ago. Wiebe and the summer employees also organized two days of Tsimshian language—called Sm’álgyax—workshops at Riverboat Days and button blanket and weaving workshops, which shows their renewed commitment to representing First Nations culture. Their mandate is to consolidate the Heritage Park Museum to representing the years 1890-1930 of pioneer settlement and to propose that a new downtown museum include First Nations history and other cultural history as well. Another boon to turn out are the Kids Culture Camps and bi-weekly seniors’ teas, Wiebe said. Wiebe’s tenure, so far two years long, has focused on making the Heritage Museum more inviting. This included thinning hedges to make the site more visible from Kalum Ave., and organizing more kids events. Wiebe said that German visitors accounted for the second highest percentage of visitors at the museum after Canadians. In response to these statistics, local translator Willie Schneider was asked to translate the museum’s brochure into German. Wiebe also wants people to know that Heritage Park Museum is hiring for summer positions, including marketing coordinator, community programmer, and oral history coordinator. Wade Davis will be giving a talk June 15 as part of the Museums Association AGM. It is billed as a public event and there is a cover charge. A week after the interview, I saw Wiebe at a coffee shop. “It could have been the crows making the sensor go off,” she said. Another excuse, I thought. Pioneer ghosts were showing up for a tea party on that sunny day, I am sure of it.

Mining creates opportunity for local residents and businesses Terrace locals may notice some new faces in town this week, as Minerals North kicks off its three-day conference on April 24. With 800 representatives expected from across British Columbia’s mineral exploration and mining sectors, what resource development means for BC’s “Northern Network” of communities and businesses tops the agenda. BC Mining Week starts a few days later across the province. Mining is an essential part of BC’s economy and, because of it, communities are thriving. In the Thompson Okanagan, mines like Copper Mountain, Highland Valley and New Afton employ almost 2,000 people locally, and stimulate jobs for thousands more who provide direct and indirect support and services to the mining industry and those it employs. The town of Princeton was reborn when the Copper Mountain Mine reopened in 2011, with new shops and community services, housing and other businesses springing up to support the resurgence. During construction, hotels in Princeton were at capacity, housing more than 500 people working to build the mine. Now in operation, the mine employs about 300 people who live locally.

from resource development,” says Fronk, “and then, by turning that commitment into reality.” In addition to employing locally wherever possible, Seabridge also uses local suppliers and service providers, including Bulkley Valley Wholesale, Granmac, Hy-Tech Drilling and Lakelse Air. The company estimates that of the $133 million spent on the project to date, and with another $31 million budgeted for 2013, about 80 percent of spending has been in BC. The company has also made two signiﬁcant investments in skills training in the northwest within the past 18 months: $100,000 for the BC Aboriginal Mine Training Association to deliver skills upgrading programs in Gitanyow, Gitxsan, Nisga’a and Tahltan communities; and $100,000 to fund a mobile training unit Northwest Community College will use to deliver trades programs to local communities. “A common theme during our visits to local communities is that young people must leave to ﬁnd work,” says Fronk. “That may not sound like a big deal to people who grew up in large cities but when you come from a small town, the sense of community is very different. And when the young leave, communities suffer.”

TINY Town cleanup crew James MacMillan, Yvonne Moen, Gerry Sharples, David Brochu and Matthew Duncan are fixing up the miniature buildings and their surroundings beside the George Little House.

Northern BC Community Sports Development Society (Northern BC Winter Games Society)

Tiny Town spruced up TINY TOWN, the creation of local resident Jim Allen, is getting a new lease on life just in time for spring. The 20 miniature buildings, replicas from Allen's hometown of Youghal, Ireland, have been nestled since last year on the former Terrace Co-op site right beside the George Little House. And now a crew from a Terrace and District Community Services Society employment skills program is leveling the location, creating walkways and repairing the buildings for a more attractive presentation. Yvonne Moen, one of a group of citizens who arranged for the collection to be placed on the site, said the rejuvenation will appeal to locals and tourists. “We'll be doing as much as we can,” said Moen.

The workers, part of a 10week program to sharpen their employment skills, began by moving in donated crush for the walkways. “It's good to get out of the classroom,” said program work development officer Gerry Sharples. The workers will be at the location for a month gaining work experience which is a requirement of the program. Tiny Town began life in the front yard of Allen's Agar Ave. home, providing a stopping point for the curious. Allen decorated the village at Christmas time with lights, providing a festive atmosphere to his collection. The buildings are replicas of a post office, a butcher shop, a shoemaker, a barbershop, an info centre and two pubs mostly re-created by memory of

Allen’s Irish hometown. Circumstances dictated a move of the buildings and in 2010 they ended up in one of the empty store locations at the Skeena Mall. “I give Judi Hannon at the Skeena Mall a lot of credit for that,” said Moen of the move, adding that some of the tiny buildings were repaired once given a new home in the mall. Even curtains were sewed and installed in the windows of some of the buildings. The sale of the Skeena Mall and the start of a complete renovation project there in 2012 meant another move and Moen and a small group, which included Hannon and Terrace city councillor Brian Downie, arranged for the current Tiny Town home.

Chinese bank backs refinery dum with Switzerland-based Oppenheimer Investments Group. Oppenheimer executive Richard Cooke said at the time it had enough interest from investors to finance the entire project. The project has a number of hurdles to clear, not the least of which is environmental clearance from the provincial and federal governments. That would be particularly the case if the project would require its own pipeline to carry Alberta crude. Speaking in Terrace April 19, the day after Black announced the deal with the Chinese bank, premier Christy Clark remained warm to the proposal, saying it served as an indication of private sector interest in investing in B.C. “There are a lot of things that need to be worked out,” she said. “But a refined product is a lot easier on the environment than the nonrefined product that Alberta currently proposes to send off our coast,” Clark added in an apparent reference to Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline plan which has become a focal point for First Nations and environmental movement opposition. Still, Clark said any refinery proposal as being promoted by Black has to meet five conditions her government set down earlier for it to approve of any heavy oil pipeline development. Those are successful completion of an environmental review, worldleading oil spill prevention and response systems, improved on-land spill response systems, addressing aboriginal and treaty rights and having B.C. receive monetary benefits. Black also needs to find customers to buy refined fuels the refinery would produce and he needs to find companies willing to ship crude through an oil pipeline, if one is required, to the refinery. A provincial government trade representative was at the memorandum signing in Beijing.

THE company that wants to build a $25 billion oil refinery complex near Kitimat says it has lined up a Chinese bank to help with the financing. The agreement is part of a memorandum of understanding signed last week in Beijing between Kitimat Clean and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, which is described as that country’s largest bank. The memorandum indicates the bank will be the Chinese financial advisor to Kitimat Clean for project financing. Kitimat Clean, owned by Black Press chairman David Black, wants to build a refinery providing fuels for the Asian and Indian markets. In doing so, Kitimat Clean says it would provide jobs in Canada and provide an environmentally-acceptable alternative to exporting Alberta crude to overseas refineries. “A great advantage of the refinery is that it will prevent the shipment of bitumen in tankers off B.C.’s midcoast. In addition, it will reduce global greenhouse gas emissions because it will replace refineries elsewhere that are built to less stringent environmental standards,” says Black. The oil refinery may also include a pipeline between Edmonton and Kitimat to feed it raw product and a fleet of tankers to transport fuels overseas. Broken down by dollar amounts, the estimated $25 billion project works out to $16 billion for a refinery, $6 billion for an oil pipeline if required, $2 billion for a natural gas pipeline to provide natural gas to help run the refinery and $1 billion for a tanker fleet if required. Chinese companies will be involved in the engineering and construction of the refinery which, if the project proceeds as planned, will be manufactured elsewhere and shipped to Kitimat for on-site assembly. ICBC is the second financial participant announced for the project. In March, Black announced he was close to a financing memoran-

Conservative candidate bucks party’s position on Enbridge E N B R I D G E shouldn’t be allowed to build its Northern Gateway oil pipeline from Alberta to a planned marine export terminal at Kitimat, says Skeena BC Conservative candidate Mike Brousseau. “Integrity for me with Gateway just doesn’t add up,” said Brousseau of the $5.5 billion project now in the final stages of a federal environmental review. Brousseau, who was born in Michigan, still has relatives living in the Kalamazoo area where an Enbridge pipeline broke in 2010. Company officials weren’t aware of the leak for hours, resulting in significant spillage into the Kalamazoo River. “There’s been a cover-up,” said Brousseau of work done there to clean up the spill. “Do you think I want that happening here? No way, Jose.” Brousseau termed Enbridge a “globalist” company concerned only with profits and

not communities or the environment. “It doesn’t work top down. It needs to work bottom up,” said Brousseau of how decisions should be made and how companies should do business. “From the top down, people are oppressed. People aren’t represented at a global level.” And although Brousseau’s position is opposite to that of the BC Conservative party, which is in support of Northern Gateway, that’s fine by him. “I can go against the party if I wish,” says Brousseau. “He supports me in doing that,” Brousseau added of party leader John Cummins. “This is not a party like the NDP or the Liberals with a whip system,” Brousseau said of the term used in politics whereby party discipline is enforced. “I get my advice from the people. I am the people’s candidate.” Brousseau said his position might change, as long as people also approved, of a pipeline

Man pleads out to sex assault

A MAN who initially pleaded not guilty to sexual assault will serve jail time. Rene Alec changed his plea to guilty on one charge of sexual assault from an incident earlier this year and was sentenced to 175 days in jail by Judge Terry Wright in Terrace provincial court April 16. After he was given credit for pre-sentence time served in jail of 85 days, he was left with 90 days to serve. Part of his sentence includes having his name added to the national sexual offender registry for life. When his jail time is completed, he will spend 18 months on probation with conditions, including no contact directly or indirectly with the victim or being within 20 metres of the victim’s residence. He will also have to enroll in, attend, participate and complete any counselling as directed by his probation officer and provide a DNA sample to police. Two charges of breaching his recognizance were stayed by the court.

construction plan that included the highest level of environmental protection and monitoring. “And if companies want to move oil out from Alberta, they’d have to pay the cost if anything happens, like a bond system. “But only if the people of the community want it. And I would want at least 60 per cent in favour, not just a majority, but a clear majority.”

Brousseau says that may be a tall order because he’s hearing from people that Enbridge isn’t liked. And he’s looking forward to speaking to David Black about the plan by his Kitimat Clean company to build an oil refinery and, if necessary an oil pipeline. A solid pipeline plan from Kitimat Clean might be more easily accepted, said Brousseau.

Legion members awarded THREE MEMBERS of Branch 13 of The Royal Canadian Legion have been presented with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal. Mary Ann Misfeldt, Doug Misfeldt and Brian Kirkaldy have together held a variety of executive posts with the branch, within the region and nationally over the years. Mary Ann Misfeldt was not only the first woman to become president of Branch 13 and the first woman to lead the BC Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion but the first woman to become national president of the Royal Canadian Legion. “I figured that if I was going to be the first woman, I would go all the way,” said Misfeldt. Misfeldt was Legion president between 2004 and 2006 and was the first – and so far only – person in that capacity to visit Canadian forces

in Afghanistan. “It was a moralebuilding trip,” recalls Misfeldt. “At that time, there were a lot of questions about what our military was doing over there. There were people wondering what they were doing there and why they weren’t back at home.” The visit was organized by the Canadian Forces and Misfeldt was accompanied by a number of high-ranking officials, including the mayor of Petawawa, Ontario, the home of a large Canadian base, and the deputy commissioner of the RCMP. Misfeldt continues to be involved with national issues of the Royal Canadian Legion and is among a group of people working on a leadership development program. “These Jubilee medals are about service to veterans,” she said. Her Jubilee medal

was presented at the Legion’s national level. Doug Misfeldt is the current zone commander, a position he has held before along with being president of Branch 13. Kirkaldy has also been a zone commander and a president of Branch 13. “People like Brian and Doug just give so much of their time,” said BC Yukon Command executive director Inga Kruse.

“It’s their personal time and they do it for others,” she said of the activities they’ve undertaken. In addition to being presidents and zone commanders, Kirkaldy and Misfeldt have been fixtures at the annual Remembrance Day parades. Kirkaldy has been parade marshal and Misfeldt the Sergeant at Arms and both have been members of the branch’s colour party.

Kirkaldy and Misfeldt were among approximately 150 Legion members across the province to receive the Jubilee medals. The Legion’s Dominion Command of the Royal Canadian Legion received an allocation of Jubilee medals and then distributed to regional commands for presentations to people who were then nominated, said Kruse.

IT’S HOSPICE month and the local branch wants to give back to the community and provide information about hospice that people may not know. As the population ages, and as more people live longer with chronic illnesses, the need for hospice services is increasing, says Penny Dobbin, Terrace Hospice Society coordinator. More resources are needed in the north; for example, in the province, there are slightly more than 200 hospice/palliative care beds, but in the northwest, including Prince Rupert, Kitimat, the Bulkley Valley and here, there are only six. And while people think hospice doesn’t apply to them as they’re not elderly or terminally ill, they’re still affected by the lack of hospice resources. From her experience working as a social worker in a hospital in Prince George, Dobbin would see the palliative/hospice beds filled so the people who were waiting for a bed there, and couldn’t go home and take care of themselves, would be put in the hospital, which took up beds from other patients. The result: gridlock in emergency with people getting medical help but not admitted to hospital because there weren’t any beds for them, she said. People who are on a waiting list for a bed in Terraceview, which can take six months to one year, can’t go home so they end up in a bed in the hospital here, she says. Another thing is that if people are registered for palliative care, they can get some medications, home care and some equipment for free, taken care of through hospice. People need to get registered on the list for care earlier, instead of in the last month or weeks when they’re dying. Hospice can see people as soon as they’re diagnosed with a chronic illness as talking to hospice doesn’t have to mean the person is dying. but rather they’re prepared, and have access to resources, just in case. “We’re a death denying society,” said Dobbin about what a speaker said at a hospice conference. People are getting away from traditional funerals but people should maintain that tradition and rituals associated with grieving. That doesn’t mean the person’s last wishes to not have a funeral shouldn’t be honoured; but other traditions, like wakes, do help loved ones with grieving. And it’s important to let people grieve in their own way and in their own time. Often children who lose a parent will tell the remaining parent to stop grieving once it‘s six months or so later. However, it’s not that easy, especially when people have been married for 20 or 30 years or more and the loss of a spouse, who’s been there every day and night for that long is like losing a body part. It can take a long time to heal from the loss. Terrace Hospice Society holds its thankyou informational tea this weekend and Hike for Hospice is May 11. For more details, see the Community Calendar on page 12.

A20 www.terracestandard.com

y daughter got me a snazzy new journal recently. Its designers cleverly titled it “My Dysfunctions,” and its funky yellow cover carries further explanation (less we be unable to figure out what it’s for!): “A journal for chronicling my immeasurably fascinating dysfunctions, neuroses, emotions, inner children, moments of shame and doubt, projection, self-loathing, misanthropy, and completely normal insanity, because the only difference between me and the rest of the population is that I acknowledge how crazy I am and they’re all in mindnumbing denial.” Hilarious and so apt! While I’ve always wanted to create the kind of journals or diaries you can pass on to loved ones after you die (You know the kind I mean—leather bound beauties, filled with perfectly formed lines, a.k.a. legible ones, that share deep thoughts and entertaining tidbits that somehow manage to the “human experience.”), one only has to flip one or two pages into my scrawls to realize my actual journals are the furthest thing from those daydream ones. They’re completely random, messy, meandering things—half rant, half . . . boring. Entries are inconsistent blurts of this and that. I do record small stories about my days, but more often I just vent— journaling to get things out of my system and process (deal with!) things that are going on around me-and/or in my head. And all that’s very valuable—just not something you want your family to stumble upon when you’re gone. Or maybe it is. I have a couple of my mom’s old notebooks. I was thrilled when my dad gifted them to me. But then I read them. And was . . . disappointed.

JUST A THOUGHT

EV BISHOP

On journaling Only the beginning few pages in each were filled out. And there wasn’t a personal vignette to be found. They were sermon notes. Now don’t get me wrong. I respect (and share) my mother’s faith. And I know the value of note taking—how it aids comprehension and retention. But there was nothing of her in the notes. I poured over each page, hoping for a tiny visit—a whisper of her voice, her opinion, her humour, her angst, her . . . anything. I’d thought there might be snippets about my little toddler brother, tales about her and my dad, thoughts on parenting. But these were not that type of journal. What her journals aren’t, however, makes me think mine are okay. Maybe more than okay. What if I’d read some never-before-

guessed secret in my mom’s notebooks? I’d have been delighted, intrigued, curious, not incensed. What if I read her no holds barred inner response to a fight she and my dad—or she and I— had had? Would I be devastated? No. I’d grow from it, learn from it . . . And what if I read about unfulfilled dreams or came across scribblings about things she’d like to do in the future? The words might bring some pain, yes, but mostly they’d bring joy. I’ve read extremely personal things taken from miscellaneous journals, and I’ve never thought less of the author—just the opposite usually. Uncensored details or observations about love, hate, confusion, beauty, ugliness, relationships— heck, about tea and simple pleasures, make me think, Ah, so that’s what it’s like to be him. To be her. And, perhaps ironically, help me understand myself better. Someone famous once said something like, “I never worry about what someone might think of my diaries after I’m gone. I’ll be dead.” Wise words. I wish I could fully embrace them—but the idea of someone reading all my journals makes me cringe. After all, I burnt all my childhood diaries when I was 13. I couldn’t bear the idea of someone perusing me. Sometimes I assure myself that’s what I can do with my spiral bound notebooks, too. But I don’t think I will. While I can’t imagine anyone ever wanting to wade through my impossibly messy, navel-gazing cycle of snooze-inducing blahblah-blah, my journals are part of me and I’ve made tenuous peace with them. And if someone does page through them when I’m long gone . . . Well, perhaps I should decorate each one with warning labels, similar to the one on my new yellow journal. . . .

Stellar year for Terrace athlete Ainsleigh Mensah, who grew up from the age of eight in Terrace and whose grandparents still live here, followed in her brother’s footsteps after high school graduation, moving to the Lower Mainland to attend Douglas College and play varsity basketball for the Royals. She just graduated with a transfer degree in Criminology, which she plans to combine with a Legal Office Assistant degree, also from Douglas, to eventually move to RCMP or corrections. And while school has been her focus, basketball has kept her driven, and this year her hard work paid off when she was awarded the Andy and Helen Andrews Memorial Award in celebration of combined athletic and academic achievement. This on top of the Royals, of which she was one of just three veteran players, earning a medal at provincial championships for the first time in over 20 years. She took some time out of a busy exam week to answer a few questions about her banner year. Have you won awards like this before? Was it a surprise? Although I’ve won awards each year at Douglas, this particular one was a complete surprise to me. In a way I proved to myself that I can accomplish great things on and off the court, and I’m greatly humbled by every opportunity I’m given. The award is for combined academic and athletic achievement. How do you manage to balance the two? I never was a straight A student until Grade 12 really, so managing basketball and school was tough in the beginning. I live super close to

Douglas so I’m very fortunate— on a rough day I would wake up at 8:30 a.m. go to class until 11 a.m., get something small to eat, go back to school for 2 p.m. and have a scheduled team workout for 4 p.m., then finally my day would end with a 7-9 p.m. practice. It’s a pretty big commitment. I always took the time to study above everything, if it meant early mornings and late nights that’s what I had to do, but it taught me a lot about the importance of school. What advice would you give to someone who is struggling to stay on top of school because athletic pressure, or even social pressure is getting to them? High school is completely different than college, in college there’s a lot more you have to worry about, with practice 4-5 times a week, workouts twice a week and then studies. It’s a pretty big commitment and student athletes often let go of one in order to excel in another. Balancing your school and sport is huge—if you can’t, pressure, worrying and anxiety sets in. You always see athletes in college freaking out about eligibility or injuries, but there always needs to be a healthy balance to keep in check—if it takes tutoring, more gym time, or taking time to rehab your injury. I’ll be one of the oldest players as a fourth year player, so I think it’s always important to give them help where they need it—I remember being in the same position as them at one point in time. You have a fellow player from Kitimat on your team… that must be neat! Do you two bond over northwest stuff?

Points North racks up the points at Prince George meet The points North Spring Kick Off training camp held at the Terrace Aquatic Centre earlier this month is being pointed to as the reason behind the team’s convincing win in Prince George the weekend of April 13. Twelve Terrace Bluebacks travelled to Prince George for the annual Dental Moose Meet, taking first place overall with 1,810 points, as members of the Points North team made up of Prince Rupert, Terrace, Kitimat and Smithers swimmers. Forty athletes from these communities came to Terrace the weekend before the competition to focus on team building and building fitness for the spring season. “It appears the team came together very well,” said Bluebacks coach Mike Christensen, noting that Points North was particularly strong in the 10 and under

girls category, finishing first and second in both relay events with two Blueback athletes, Angelina Filtziakis and Jade Heathfield, as well as dominating the 13-14 boys category with all three medals won by Kitimat, Smithers, and Rupert athletes. This was the first long course competition for most of the swimmers of the eight teams in attendance. Home team Prince George Barracudas came in second with 1,583 points. Blueback Brayden Philips went head-to-head in nearly every race with a young powerhouse from the PG Barracudas named Mackenzie Lewington with Brayden taking Gold in 200 Free, while Mackenzie just outkicked him in the 200 IM. Mackenzie’s been on Brayden’s radar all season, commenting earlier in the year that he was looking forward to facing off against him throughout the year.

“Great to see the intense battles followed by mutual encouragement and congratulations from these two young stars,” Christensen said. And the two will meet again at the AAA provincials in July as Brayden moved into the top tier of provincial competition with his 1:36.63 in the 100 Breast Stroke. Overall, the rest of the team put in some excellent swims, said Christensen, with 11 out of 12 making 100 per cent best times for Long Course. Thomas Christensen narrowly missed out on his first AAA time and is primed to finish the season strong. Next meet is the Kitimat Regional Champs May 3-5. The Bluebacks are hoping to take a number of first time competitors and our biggest team in five years.

chance to get to know her until this year. I think immediately we got along just because it’s so rare to see northern players in collegiate sports, I think it’s awesome we can both represent our communities in such a big way. And congrats on winning bronze this year! Tell me a bit about the season. We won the first medal in a provincial championship in over 20 years, so understandingly this year was high on the emotional scale. A lot of milestones have been reached by this team and I’m so fortunate to be a part of it. We were in second the entire season and had the conviction to win the championships to move on to nationals, but lost by a basket in the semi-finals. That didn’t break us though, and my coach (Curtis Nelson) told me something that impacted me so greatly—I watched one of my best friends (a point guard on the Cap Blues team) collapse after their championship loss to VIU, and although I wanted so badly to be in her position, he brought up the fact that we were one of 15 teams in Canada that could end our season with a medal, and not only this but we went from a bottom ranked team, to a nationally ranked team all in one year. We owe a lot of that to our coach, he has done a tremendous job with the program—even winning PacWest coach of the year. What’s next? Next year I look forward to being in my fourth year and contributing as a more experienced veteran, it’s awesome to see how my last two years of eligibility will end up.

Fight night in Terrace Anna Killen PHOTOs

Hundreds of people turned out to the Terrace Sportsplex for Cage Fighting Force’s debut amateur fight night. The six head-to-head matchups featured fighters from Terrace, Prince Rupert, Vanderhoof and Kamloops – some on the card who’d been fighting for years, others new to an audience beyond the cage. The next CFF card is planned for July, location TBA, with titles to be handed out at the Sept. 7 card in Terrace. At left, a CFF volunteer greases up Colton Zacharius of Vanderhoof, who won the main event match against Terrace’s Kohl Johnson, who put up a fine fight – at 15, these two were the youngest on the card. Vaseline is smeared on the fighters faces pre-fight to minimize injuries.

Above, Paul Tait of Terrace moments after beating Chris Wilson of Kamloops in the first fight of the night, a light welterweight MMA fight. Pictured on front page, Terrace’s Hector Blackwater lost to Prince Rupert’s Shawn Stewart, also trained by Kelly McMahon in an intense, gruelling battle that saw the fans from each corner go wild.

At left, Terrace’s Chester Earl, a member of Team Gitmidiik – which came out with three wins for the night – celebrates beating his opponent, Prince Rupert’s Mike Johnson, fighting under Kelly McMahon of NCMMA in what many called the fight of the night. Above Stephen Eli of Terrace takes on Konnor Taylor, also of Terrace, in a lightweight kickboxing match. Eli would win the match by TKO, but Taylor, who took the fight with only two days notice, earned his keep and will now join coach Tony Rutledge’s team. Right, Terrace’s Billy Morrison and Vanderhoof’s Scott Stewart put on a fierce and focussed six-minute ju-jitsu match, with Stewart ultimately coming out on top.

hile out playing with his pals, Tommy, a young Scottish boy of five, fell and injured his right knee. At first his dad, Thomas, an iron moulder working in Falkirk, and his mother, Anne, weren’t alarmed. Nothing was broken, after all. Tommy was admonished and told to take more care when rough housing with his mates. Time passed. The wound refused to heal. Anne suspected that Tommy’s leg was infected whereupon she and Thomas took the wee lad to the hospital. After a careful examination, the doctor told Anne and Thomas their son had osteomyelitis. Bacteria has gotten into the wound and infected the bone marrow, he explained. The lad will need an operation. As it turned out, young Tommy needed two operations, the cost of which put a severe strain on his father’s salary and depleted the family’s savings. Still, with Tommy recovered and a bit of money saved, Thomas decided they would emigrate to Canada, something he had long planned to do after hearing the country was full of opportunity. They settled in Winnipeg. It was 1910. For a short time things looked promising, but bacterial infections are stubborn things. Tommy’s leg began aching again. The osteomyelitis was back, said the doctors, and it appeared that Tommy’s right leg would have to be amputated.

With that in mind he stepped into the ring with the medical establishment of North America and won. If he hadn’t we wouldn’t have universal health care today. I met Tommy when I was a kid working for his re-election in Burnaby. He was a self effacing, keenly intelligent, gentle man bent on doing the right thing for people. His demeanour reminded me of my dad’s. Recently, Steve Perih and I made a trip to Prince George to visit our fishing buddy, Mike Whelpley. Mike was in the check out line, as he puts it. His kidneys were barely functioning and he’d caught C-Difficile. He’d spent a month in Mills, had been in Prince George General for a couple of weeks when we visited him, and he was scheduled for a trip to Saint Paul’s to be examined by a team of cardiologists. I hope that wasn’t the last time we’ll see Mike, I told Steve as we left the hospital. Me too, said Steve, as he limped across the parking lot. Steve’s right hip was functioning about as well as Mike’s right kidney – he was slated for surgery in a month’s time. Since then Mike has recovered and Steve has a new hip and is looking forward to some quality time on the river. Things might not have turned out so well if a scrappy Tommy Douglas hadn’t been in their corner.

Nursery scales back A LOCAL community garden took possession of 400 pounds of seed potatoes last week, perhaps one of the last of the larger shipments to come out of a regional nursery operation. After 27 years, Fern and Clifford Goodwill, both in their 70s, are scaling back their work obligations at the Skeena Valley Nursery east of Terrace on Hwy16. They’re closing the nursery end but are still maintaining a small organic food operation. “It’s lots of work and we’ve been doing this for a lot of years,” said Clifford Goodwill last week. In its prime, Skeena Valley provided bedding and other plants for Terrace outlets such as Canadian Tire and

Safeway, he said. “What we’re going to do now are just potatoes, tomatoes, cucumber and zucchini squash,” Goodwill added. The Goodwills

originally came to the northwest to run a tree nursery operation at their property and then went into the plant nursery business when the provincial government changed the way

it wanted trees grown. The potatoes brought to Terrace last week will be used to replenish the seed stock at the community garden adjacent to the Seventh-day Adventist church.

Rail cars go off track CN CREWS were busy late last week after five freight cars carrying household consumer goods went off the track east of Terrace near Cedarvale. The cars remained upright and there were no injuries or danger to the environment, reports Emily

Hamer from CN. There was no immediate cause given for the accident which occurred at 1:45 a.m. April 19 and it is under investigation, she said. Rail traffic in both directions was halted while crews worked to restore service.

TV you’ll all love, for less.

News In Brief Police busy the weekend of April 13 POLICE HAD a busy April 13th weekend, the same weekend as the mixed martial arts cage fight here, but the higher number of calls to police were not a result of that event. “There were six calls that came in just after 2 a.m. [April 14] in less than a 50-minute period,” said Terrace RCMP spokesperson Const. Angela Rabut April 16. “There were 19 calls that came in between 8 p.m. [April 13] and 6 a.m. [April 14]. It is higher than average, but not grossly so.” Many factors can be attributed to the number of calls. “Pay checks, weather, the early spring we are having, recent arrests for police work etc.,” she said. “To directly link a slightly higher call volume directly to the cage fights would be misleading,” she said. Two fights broke out at the Northern Motor Inn after last call, and while the police did not attend immediately, they did go there after finishing with other higher priority calls, said Rabut.

There, at the shared birthplace of the Skeena, Nass and Stikine Rivers, Fortune Minerals hopes to build an open-pit coalmine. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same place the BC government and Shell recently safeguarded from oil and gas development.
