Seized money forfeiture sought By Margaret Speirs Government officials are trying to keep thousands of dollars found inside a Davis Ave. house even though narcotics charges against a couple also found inside the house weren’t approved. The money, $21,480, was seized April 11 when police officers used a search warrant at the 4600 Block Davis Ave. home. Police said they also found cocaine, drug paraphernalia, a baton similar to that used by police officers and cell phones. Investigating officers then forwarded information to federal drug prosecutors seeking possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking charges against a 35-year-old woman from Gitaus and a 40-year-old man from Terrace. Those charges weren’t approved and no reason why was given by federal prosecutors. Prosecutors do need to consider two matters. First, is the evidence sufficient to justify the institution or continuation of proceedings and second, if it is, does the public interest require a prosecution to be pursued. With criminal charges now not forthcoming, police are concentrating on provincial legislation enabling authorities to keep money or other assets seized in the course of criminal investigations. In this situation, the money “was seized because there was evidence that [it] had been obtained by the commission of an offence, or offences, under section 5 (2) possession for the purpose of trafficking of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act of Canada,” said Tasha Schollen, from the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General. A civil forfeiture law was passed in 2005

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

allowing the government to use civil court rules and processes to go after property, vehicles and other assets used in, or acquired through, unlawful activity. Civil forfeiture actions depend on a civil court standard of proof, which is a balance of probabilities and is action against property rather than people. The Civil Forfeiture Office must consider three issues when making a decision to accept a file for forfeiture proceedings. The first is whether there is evidence to support the action and the second is whether the public interest is served by seeking forfeiture. Third is whether it is financially viable for the state to seek forfeiture. Those who have money or assets seized or other people can dispute the action and must give reasons why they have a right to the property. Eventually, a supreme court judge will decide if the money or assets are to be returned. Early last year, for the first time here, two houses believed to contain grow-ops were forfeited. One took place after a criminal case was dropped a week before the trial and the other forfeiture took place when criminal charges were not approved. Money that is seized or money from assets that are seized and then sold is paid into a special account and used to compensate crime victims, pay for crime prevention programs, and pay for the costs of administering the act. In Terrace last year, the local RCMP detachment received money from the program to install devices at Suwilaawks and at Ecole Mountainview, which tell drivers if they are exceeding the 30 kilometre an hour school zone limit.

Police close bomb threat file without any arrests TERRACE RCMP say they have identified the origin of a bomb threat emailed to Northwest Community College last fall but did not have enough grounds for an arrest so the case has been closed. “Police were able to identify that the threats were sent from a specific location at the college,” said Terrace RCMP media relations officer Const. Angela Rabut last week. “A warrant was used ordering Microsoft Corporation to produce internet records from

the origin of the threat. A suspect was identified and interviewed. There were not enough grounds to make an arrest at the time.” On October 2, 2012, someone emailed a bomb threat to Northwest Community College, which led to the college being evacuated for the day. A bomb sniffing dog was called in and searched the buildings and residences but didn’t find anything.

Terrace lagging in competition to boost cycling IF the provincial election of May 14 taught us anything it’s not to declare victory until the numbers are all in. As of May 16, Smithers had 20 teams registered for Bike To Work Week and Terrace had eight. This means Smithers has 60 per cent more teams registered now than Terrace their rival and are on pace to win the coveted golden saddle, awarded to the municipality who enrols the most teams in the event. Bike to Work Week begins Monday, May 27. Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski shrugged off the recent sign up information, though, suspecting they were padded by Smithers having enrolled teams for multiple municipal departments, which means the real number of bikers would come out low. “Smithers needs to be very concerned,” Pernarowksi said, “that they only have a 12 team lead ... Terrace has a strong history of being victorious.” “We’ll find a good spot for it,” the mayor said about the golden bike seat which is the ultimate award. The City of Terrace has included new bike lanes and bike symbols on streets it is repaving not only for vehicles but in a bid to make the town safer for cyclists. The city has contracted Yellowhead Pavement Marking Inc. to do 65 bike symbol signs in total, said com-

pany owner Doug Russell. Sparks Ave (from Munthe to Halliwell) will be allotted 5 new signs; Eby (Park to Olson) will be the beneficiary of 8; Kalum (from Olson to Soucie) will be sprayed with 6; Kenney (from Highway 16 to Walsh) will have 7 new symbols painted; Sparks (Lazelle to McConnell) will be blessed with 20; Walsh (Kenny to Munroe) will witness 6; while Munroe (from Straume to Walsh) will receive 8 new bike symbols. Russell did say that plans are sometimes subject to change once they actually get out there and start painting. Terrace had at least 130 participants for Bike to Work Week in 2012 and is hoping to more than double their participation in 2013. The Bike to Work Week website is www.biketowork.ca and that’s where teams can register. And there is a benefit to having businesses and organizations sign up to take part. “Bike to Work Week Terrace will again be offering basic bike tune-ups to participating workplaces. Bike repair sessions are offered on a first come, first serve basis to any workplace that can get 25 per cent of their employees to commit to partake in the initiative. To sign up for these workshops, please contact tirwin@ terrace.ca,” reads a city press release.

Bench housing opposed A Terrace landowner’s bid to build an eco-friendly development on Sparks St. on the bench has been met with opposition by neighbours who fear he will in actual fact wreck a fragile green space and bring unsavoury characters into the area. Stan Kincaid spoke to council May 13 regarding zoning amendment application that would have his 4407 Sparks land rezoned from R1 (one family residential) to R3 (low density multi-family residential). Kincaid’s plan is to develop a gated complex of three triplexes powered by geothermal heating and cooling instead of gas or oil. The lot has a creek running though what is now a densely treed property. While the application passed first and second readings on April 22, council has since received two letters from adjacent property owners expressing concerns about the environmental and social impacts. Four neighbours

A developer has plans for a residential development on Sparks on the bench. spoke up at the council meeting on May 13 to express their views, and 12 people were in attendance to see the results. Neighbours cited concerns over flooding of the creek from the removal of the trees, destruction of a wildlife corridor that is officially labeled sensitive according to a municipal assessment as well as the perceived impact of

having up to nine families in a secluded neck of the woods. “Over time we’re going to attract the wrong crowd up there,” said one speaker. Councillor James Cordeiro said he found the assumption that smaller housing units would attract a seedy element to be offensive. “I don’t want anyone to get hurt on my prop-

erty,” said another adjacent owner, worrying about the impact new families would have on an area that’s “like living in the bush but you’re in town.” “Where is the space going to come from,” said a third to council, arguing that the creek gets wide and that he can’t see three large units fitting in the lot. In the end council-

lors decided they needed more information. Council moved and rested a motion to postpone the adoption of the bylaw amendment until July 22 to give Kincaid the chance to draft a building design and have his geothermal idea reviewed so that neighbours and council can better understand his plan and make an informed decision.

THERE’S NO occasion like an election night to experience a full range of human emotions complete with predictions and opinions. It might be the free refreshments or just the sense of being part of a community function that brings out people of every kind. Former longtime Terrace mayor Jack Talstra was one of those out at BC Liberal candidate Carol Leclerc’s campaign office. A provincial as well as federal Liberal (he once ran for the Liberals in the federal Skeena riding in one election and ran for the nomination for the party in another federal election), Talstra took a moment to share his opinion. “Looks great for the province, in my view,” said Talstra as the picture emerged of a majority BC Liberal government. Close by Talstra was current city councillor Bruce Bidgood who is a New Democrat but has been also supporting Leclerc, based on the time they spent together on council. “I never expected it to be so close,” said Bidgood of the tight race early in the evening between Leclerc and the eventual winner, New Democrat Robin Austin. The candidates themselves had their own observations after weeks of campaigning. “Each time you go to an election it’s kind of

a referendum on your performance, and you wonder whether people think you’ve been doing a good job and want to keep you on,” said Austin. “I enjoy campaigning, but I’m still nervous.” Meanwhile, Leclerc called the voting counting period a “nailbiter” as the numbers between

her and Austin widened or narrowed as poll results came in. And as for the provincial Liberal majority, Leclerc was quite definitive: “Never underestimate the electorate.” By week’s end, campaign signs had come down and campaign offices were packed away in anticipation of the next time.

Students choose Austin STUDENTS in the Skeena riding selected New Democrat Robin Austin as the winner when they cast ballots May 13 and, surprisingly, chose BC Conservative Mike Brousseau to be their second place finisher. BC Liberal Carol Leclerc placed third among student voters. In all 648 votes were cast in middle and secondary schools in Kitimat, Terrace and the Nass Valley. The school votes were part of a province wide effort called Student Vote: a parallel election program coinciding with the British Columbia provincial election. After learning about the democratic process, researching the party platforms, hosting candidate forums and debating the future of British Columbia, students cast their ballots for local candidates. Austin received 362 votes or just under 56 per cent of ballots cast. Brousseau received 153 votes or just under 24 per cent and Leclerc received 101 votes or just under 16 per cent.

Trevor Hendry of the British Columbia Party received 32 votes or just under 5 per cent. At Caledonia Secondary School in Terrace, Austin received 72 votes of 117 cast, Leclerc received 24 votes, Brousseau 15 votes and Hendry 6 votes. At Skeena Middle School of 96 votes cast, Austin received 42, Leclerc 31, Brousseau 10 and Hendry 13. Totals across the province had the NDP winning 53 seats, the Liberals 20 seats and the Greens eight while four Independents were elected. “It gives kids a chance to understand the election process,” said Caledonia school teacher Bruce Bingham from Caledonia who organized the vote there. “It’s a hard thing to get across to kids because many of the parents are apathetic [about politics].” Bingham said that what makes students interested are issues like tuition fee hikes that have an immediate impact on students coming out of high school.

For the third term in a row, New Democrat Robin Austin has been elected MLA for the Skeena riding, while the BC Liberals win the province

EWLY re-elected Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin is taking a few days to absorb both his third election victory and the failure by his party to be chosen to run the province. Speaking after he defeated BC Liberal candidate Carol Leclerc May 14, Austin described his win as a “squeaker” with 5,106 votes or 47.11 per cent of ballots cast compared to Leclerc’s 4,739 votes or 43.76 per cent. Austin’s three victories put him in second place in provincial Skeena riding election wins. Dudley Little was elected four times for the Social Credit party in 1960, 1963, 1966 and 1969. Austin said he looks forward to introducing private members’ bills to the Victoria legislature to gain some leverage from the opposition’s bench and make the concerns of his constituency known. Austin said he thinks this election marks the first time a party had been ahead in the polls for more than a year in BC to not only then lose but by such a wide margin – 50 Liberal seats to 33 for the NDP with one Green and one independent. “I think political scientists will be analyzing [last week’s] election and see that something very unusual happened,” Austin said. Despite being re-elected, Austin was nursing his own wounds, having lost several hundred votes in what is typically an orange crush town, Kitimat. A visit by Clark to Kitimat just days before the election and a visit before the writ was dropped, both with campaign messages about the NDP slowing down development, “resonated with workers,” Austin admitted. A final count to include absentee and other ballots won’t take place until May 27, but Austin’s total did drop by 763 votes compared to 2009 while Leclerc’s Liberal vote went up 411 compared to 2009. Leclerc was actually leading Austin as the count began May 14 but the gap closed later that night when results from the Nass Valley and Kitimat began to come in. With the result so close late into the evening, Leclerc was not ready to concede until all of the final votes were counted on May 27 – including absentee votes and those cast at mobile polls held at hospitals and work camps and at more rural

communities. But the next day, noting the 363 votes separating her and Austin, she phoned Austin to say she would accept the results and to wish him well. “It’s too much of a gap to call a recall,” she said. “It is what it is.” Leclerc will continue with her human resources job at the Coast Mountains school district and take some time to figure out the next step. During her late-night “thank you” speech to supporters on election night, one supporter called out that Leclerc would be ready to run in four years – but Leclerc isn’t making any promises yet. “Four years is a long time, lots can happen in four years,” she said. “We’ll see what happens in the next couple of years here.” Leclerc said she thoroughly enjoyed competing with Austin. “I’m glad it was a positive campaign,” she said. But the close results are telling, she said. “His numbers are down and there’s probably a message for him that he needs to figure out himself,” she said. BC Conservative Mike Brousseau received 735 votes, or 6.79 per cent, less than the 893 votes (6.79 per cent) he received in 2009. “This province is going to be bankrupt in three to four years and I’ll pick up the pieces then,” he said, very early in the evening. He said regardless of the government, whether NDP or Liberal, they will take the province down a path of poverty. “To me, I don’t have a problem with this result tonight, I’m a happy, happy camper, my wife will be a happy, happy camper… and [we’ll] go back to doing what’s right.” But he’s not saying no to future elections. “I’m not giving up,” he said. “The children and our future are too important to give up.” He continued, “We’re not political, we’re good people trying to help this area… [There’s] no sadness here.” Austin had the toughest job of hanging onto his Skeena seat of the three northwest ridings. NDP newcomer Jennifer Rice was easily elected in the North Coast riding. Doug Donaldson will serve a second term as the NDP MLA for the Stikine riding which takes in Hazelton and

The three NDP victories in the northwest were a bright spot for the official opposition which otherwise saw its plans to form the next provincial government fall with only 33 seats won compared to 50 for the BC Liberal party. Once a person leaves the Bulkley Valley area driving east, he or she would either have to travel to the lower mainland or to the Kootenays before encountering another NDP riding. When asked at a May 15 press conference if the prospect of pipelines and tankers pushed the northwest to vote NDP, Premier Christy Clark said that wasn’t the case. “Those ridings have traditionally been some of the strongest ridings for the NDP well before there was any discussion of heavy oil movement,” she said. Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski sent congratulations to all candidates. “I look forward to working with the Liberal government and our returning NDP MLA, Robin Austin,” he said. Speaking to the modest power his party will wield as the official opposition in the legislature, Austin said that he will “be able to access government ministers” for specific requests. “They have to listen to the opposition.” Clark is expected to call the legislature back to work later this spring.

EDITORIAL

Now what? WITH A rejuvenated Premier Christy Clark at the head of a re-elected BC Liberal government, the question for the northwest is what now? Despite the northwest being Ground Zero of the importance the premier places on a potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry as the economic saviour of the province, voters in all three northwest ridings didn’t quite follow suit, choosing instead to elect NDP MLAs. Fears of oil pipelines, even with Ms. Clark’s already-declared stringent conditions, and on-the-ground campaigning also contributed to the shut out. Without an elected voice within the political machinery of the provincial government, it will be difficult for the region to stake out any kind of economic development ground. What needs to happen is a summit of local governments and the three NDP MLAs to establish a common front by hammering out some common themes. Terrace and the Kitimat-Stikine regional district have already done some preliminary work regarding revenue sharing. Such an approach won’t be partisan in the political party sense but will be partisan in that it will put the best interests of the region first. And given the key economic role the province wants the northwest to play it can’t afford to ignore or aggravate the region if it wants to translate its election promises into cash flow for the provincial treasury. There’s a deal to be made if both parties act honourably. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

etirement is a combination of maintaining physical health so as to maintain property health. Every structure I own has reached the 20 year mark and one by one each needs to be repaired, replaced, or somehow refurbished. Three years ago after winter winds and heavy snow weighted pine branches so they raked back and forth over the greenhouse shredding the 13-year-old plastic I managed to cover the structure with new plastic by myself. That job was similar enough to my career occupation of boat top building for me to handle it with ease. The main difference was working standing on the ground, not on horses or over water. Took me several days working in two- or three-hour sessions but no true hassle. Last summer the west side of the greenhouse roof dipped as years of soaking dry-rotted the lower end of every rafter. Once I removed the cedar strips and pulled the staples to roll the new plastic to the ridgepole, I was able to re-

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI place the rafters and studs, one section at a time, so the remaining roof didn’t come down on my head. Using my shop jigsaw (not a Skilsaw which I usually manage to bind) I cut plywood to size for the bottom portion of the wall. The end job should be sturdy enough to last for the years I can garden. Then yesterday, walking home with the dogs, I discovered overnight a wild wind had yanked the asphalt roofing off the southeast end of the mower shed roof. And the plywood beneath – also dry-rotted by years of beating sun – had caved in

leaving a racoon-sized hole funneling rain into the shed. To say I was dismayed is putting it politely. Until 3 a.m. I lay awake (partly due to an ATV roaring around the neighbourhood from midnight until well after 2 a.m.) reviewing the task ahead and ways to cope. Can I do the job myself? This morning I measured the roof and examined the rafters from inside. To restore the integrity of this shed it needs new roofing, new plywood, and seven rafters, one of them on the north side. I have on hand lightweight boat topping left over from my shop days that could take the place of heavy asphalt roofing yet give years of service. Here the boat topping wouldn’t be expected to withstand the stress of driving down the highway at 70 km/h. I also have several sheets of half inch plywood salvaged from a business renovation years ago when this plywood formed a safety barrier for public walking past the site. The roofing is a snap for

S TANDARD

me. I could sew three spans of boat topping together to make one single piece to fit right over the roof without any nails or screws to allow a leak if it were well anchored under the edges all round. If it weren’t for toenailing the rafters – a carpentry skill I totally lack – sawing plywood, and heaving it up on to the roof I ‘d be tempted to tackle this renovation myself. The shed’s eaves are roughly at my height. I could work mainly from horses rather than a ladder. Then I recall advice that guided me through 32 years of running my upholstery shop: I should stick to the work I know how to do, and hire qualified help for everything else I need done. Until this roof is properly repaired, it will be a neighbourhood eyesore and an irritant for me, but not a neon tarp landmark for helicopters. Waiting for my friendly neighbourhood roofer to do the job will take less time than recovering from a broken hip or a fractured arm. Claudette Sandecki keeps an eye on the world – and on her greenhouse roof – from her Thornhill residence.

POLLING STATIONS need to be truly accessible so that everyone has full access.

Accessible? Not at all

Dear Sir: The polling station at Veritas School for last week’s provincial election was inaccessible. The yellow voter information card we did receive before the election indicated Veritas School was accessible. In fact this was misleading because entering and exiting was not accessible.

Sure there is door opener, but guess what, the door opener did not work. Therefore entering and exiting was inaccessible. I could not open the door because it was too heavy. That is why the door opener is there. To be truly accessible and inclusive the door opener needs to be working. When

not working this is not accessible. The school should have had that door opener working before the election. The location at Veritas School was not accessible and therefore a thumbs down. Next time have the polling station in a location that is truly accessible and inclusive. Also that tarp covering the

floor was uneven and I nearly tripped. People’s attitude needs to change to a positive one to make Terrace accessible. One attitude that could have been positive, the school should have had the door openers working. Yvonne Nielsen, Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir: A friend of mine was shocked when I mentioned that there are about 40,000 people in B.C. with schizophrenia. I explained that while the incidence rate, the number of new cases per year, was about 2 or 3 in 10,000 (World Health Organization) because schizophrenia is a chronic disease, the number of new cases are added to the cumulative number from previous years. For schizophrenia, those numbers add up to a statistic of 1 in 100 people world-wide sharing this neurobiological diagnosis. In fact, schizophrenia is twice as prevalent as Alzheimer’s, 5 times that of Multiple Sclerosis and a whopping six times more prevalent than Type I Diabetes, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized illnesses of the century. It has been called, “youth’s greatest disabler” because it tends to strike just as a young person is getting ready for or away at college, preparing for a bright future, when their life starts to unravel. Getting treatment early is important for these young folks and there have been advances in development of newer, gentler medications with fewer side effects than the older anti-psychotics. The symptoms of schizophrenia that are less widely known than those that affect the senses, like seeing and hearing things that aren’t real (hallucinations), are lack of motivation, memory problems, lack of concentration, blunted emotions, cognitive deficits, etc. These symptoms can be even more debilitating because they often persist despite treatment. However, sticking with treatment is essential for someone with schizophrenia or any psychotic illness in order to control the hallucinations and delusions (fixed false beliefs) which cause the loss of touch with reality.

The city can’t afford a living wage policy

errace city council recently shelved a proposal to implement a living wage policy. Terrace taxpayers should hope it stays shelved. A living wage is a minimum hourly wage that is supposed to be pegged to the level at which a household can “meet its basic needs.” All city employees and the employees of businesses that contract with the city to provide services must be paid at least this living wage. Terrace city councilors were asked to set the city’s living wage at $17.65 an hour and to ensure contractors and subcontractors were also paid that much. But, according to research done by Chris Sarlo, a professor of economics at Nipissing University, this level of income is significantly above that which is required to meet such needs as a nutritious diet, satisfactory housing, clothing, health care, public transportation, household insurance, telephone service, and a host of other items. Advocates of living wages argue that these artificially imposed

wage levels are one of the most powerful tools available to reduce poverty in BC. Evidence from the United States proves differently. For starters, the imposition of living wages reduces job opportunities for the very families they are intended to help. When wages are legislated by government above those that would result in a competitive market, employers respond by reducing the number of workers they employ and/or the number of hours their employees work. That means living wage laws lead to higher unemployment for low-skilled workers and reduce opportunities for those entering the workforce to gain valuable skills and work experience. These effects have been well documented in the US where about 140 municipalities have implemented living wages over the past two decades. Professor David Neumark of the University of California Irvine and Dr. William Wascher of the U.S. Federal Reserve, recently reviewed the real world evidence of the impact of living wage laws in the US. They concluded that living wage laws

g u e s t c o mm e n t

Niels Veldhuis result in reductions in employment. Specifically, a 10 per cent increase in the living wage reduces job opportunities by nearly 2 per cent. These finding are further corroborated by evidence on the impact of living wage laws on hiring decisions. A recent study in the Southern Economic Journal examined the impact of the Los Angeles Living Wage policy on firms’ hiring practices. The

authors found that workers hired after the living wage policy came into effect had more prior formal training that those who were hired before the policy. This suggests that living wage policies are particularly harmful to low-skilled workers since employers hire more qualified workers to compensate for the wage increases. Employers respond to legislated wage increases by reducing fringe benefits and on-the-job training. Workers lucky enough to retain their jobs after a living wage is instituted therefore may not be better off due to reduced benefits and/or training. Terrace councillors were also asked to have the living wage apply to contractors and subcontractors. But since higher labour costs faced by contractors are in part passed on to cities, living wages can also have a significant impact on municipal budgets and thus property taxes, property values, and local development. Increased property taxes lead to increased rents which especially hurt lowincome families. When the wages of employ-

ees of private contractors are forced up to the wages received by unionized municipal workers, there is a reduced incentive for the city to use private sector services. Therefore, more activities will be done by the city rather than outsourced to the private sector. This is unfortunate given the benefits of outsourcing. A comprehensive academic survey of studies on contracting out found that competitive tendering and contracting usually lead to cost savings, of about 20 per cent and that private sector services are superior to their public counterparts. Living wages are not the answer to the hardships experienced by many poor families. Rather than reduce poverty, living wage laws rob low-skilled workers of the opportunity to participate in the labour market. As a result, living wage laws hurt the very people they are intended to help, especially when the economy slows and more of them are trying to find employment. Niels Veldhuis is an economist and president of the Fraser Institute.

LUXURY THAT’S STILL 100% JEEP.

From Page A7

Illness costs us all Continued research and development of better treatment options is critical to improve prognosis and maybe even to find a cure. It is likely not surprising to hear that a high percentage of people with untreated schizophrenia lack awareness that they are ill. This lack of insight or ‘anosognosia’ is more commonly associated with stroke or dementia. In schizophrenia lack of insight was written off as denial, and while there are some folks who simply are in denial about having this illness and really, who could blame them, there are many others who have anosognosia. More days of hospital bed use in Canada (8%) are allocated to people with schizophrenia than to sufferers of any other medical condition (Source: schizophrenia.com). This number is even more astounding when you consider the resistance to treatment that exists because of anosognosia and stigma. Stigma is a cloud that continues to overshadow this illness and keep it from gaining public interest, unless of course a rare incident occurs where an untreated individual perpetrates an act of violence. Then it gains a lot

of negative public attention, which increases stigma, which increases the heaviness of that overshadowing cloud creating a vicious cycle. The result is that most people with schizophrenia, who by the way are far more likely to harm themselves than anyone else (the suicide rate amongst people with schizophrenia is staggering) are afraid to speak out, to advocate for increased funding for research and development, to even dream about asking for more money to be invested into finding a cure. On National Schizophrenia Awareness Day, May 24th, you can show your support for the 40,000 fellow British Columbians who live with this brain illness, if not with donations to schizophrenia research or lobbying the government for increased funding, perhaps take some time to learn more about the illness and gain understanding so we can put an end to stigma for the families in our community who are affected by schizophrenia.

BUSINESS REVIEW

www.terracestandard.com

Flight plan filed for Hawkair exec

HAWKAIR IS losing its general manager and one of its founding partners. Rod Hayward is leaving in July to teach aviation business administration at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford. “They actually started talking to me in the summer of 2011,” said Hayward. “So I taught one course this last semester and we talked again and I talked it over with my family and we decided to take this opportunity.” Hayward is from Ladner and first came to Terrace in 1989 to fly for Trans Provincial Airlines which went out of business in the early

part of the next decade. Hayward and three other partners gained ownership of one of the company’s distinctive bulb-nose Bristol Freighters and began a freight operation in 1994. That evolved into a passenger service in 2000 with an initial Terrace to Vancouver connection. Rapid expansion followed, resulting in the company subsequently seeking bankruptcy protection in 2005 so it could reorganize. The company was then sold to an Alberta company, Bar XH Air, the following year. Ownership then returned to the northwest through the parent com-

pany of Central Mountain Airlines. Hayward said Hawkair has experienced some of its best years recently as demand for passenger and charter service grew. “I’m glad to be leaving on an upswing,” he said. Hayward also received his mechanic’s certification and has a Master’s of Business Administration from the University of Northern British Columbia.

North AmericAN SAfe BoAtiNg AwAreNeSS week May 18th - May 24th, 2013 INFORMED BOATERS ARE SAFER BOATERS Boating is a great activity, whether you take to the water to paddle, sail, fish or cruise. Whatever your passion may be, the Canadian Safe Boating Council advises that learning how to boat safely will increase your enjoyment of boating.

As a boater, you are legally responsible for equipping yourself and your boat, operating your vessel safely and ensuring the safety of your passengers. You are responsible for knowing the laws and regulations that govern the safe operation of vessels on Canadian waterways. One of the best ways to learn the basics of safe boating is to take a course and write an accredited test. In 1997, the Office of Boating Safety consulted with Canadians to determine the most effective ways of making our waterways safer. One of the key recommendations was to have the operators of power driven pleasure craft pass an accredited test. As a result, the Competency of Operators of Pleasure Craft Regulations was passed requiring recreational power boaters to earn a proof of competency. The first phase, which came in effect in 1999, requires all operators of pleasure craft fitted with a motor born after April 1, 1983 to have proof of competency. The second phase, which came into effect in 2002, has required all operators of recreational power boats under 4 metres in length to have proof of competency, The final requirement, being phased in on September 15, 2009, will require all operators of power boats to have proof of competency. There are a couple of ways to get your Operator Competency Card. Challenge the test if you already have the knowledge, attend a one-day course, purchase a personal study guide, or study on-line. So what will you learn when you study for your test? Depending on the guide, course or provider, you may just learn the basics to qualify for a Pleasure Craft Operator Card, or get a more in depth look at safe boating practices. Regardless

of the choice you make, you’ll learn the rules of the road, the navigation system, safe boating practices, safety equipment requirements, seamanship and basic boat handling. The rules of the road will familiarize you with the Collision Regulations, Small Vessel Regulations, Boating Restriction Regulations and Criminal Code of Canada. These acts outline the rules for navigation, speed, right-of-way, avoiding a collision, boat licensing, age and horsepower restrictions, safety, the laws governing drinking, and more.

Your training will cover the Canadian Navigation System, providing you with an understanding of the buoys and other navigation aids you will encounter on the water. You’ll learn the importance of charts, how to read them and how to identify and avoid the hazards marked by navigation aids. All aspects of being a safe boater and your responsibilities on the water will be covered. A typical course will teach you about your boat and its equipment and general boating terminology. Personal safety equipment, including personal flotation devices and lifejacket requirement will be reviewed. The all important safety equipment required by law for each vessel size and its use will be reviewed to ensure you are properly equipped for an emergency and the water. Preparing for a trip will be covered, teaching you how to use weather information, the importance of filing a trip plan and the need to familiarize yourself with the local area where you will be boating.

YOUR RECREATION SPECIALISTS

The more complete courses and study guides will provide you with a basic grounding in seamanship and basic boat handling skills. The topics covered may include anchoring, docking your boat, basic line handling and knots. The basic skills to operate your boat, steering, throttling and trimming your vessel will be covered, along with learning how to handle emergency situations when you are on the water.

Chamber chooses leadership group JANICE Shaben will lead the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce for a second two-year term. The selection came at the organization’s May 16 annual general meeting. Joining her on the executive as vice president will be Leydi Noble who will also serve a two-year term. The treasurer is Val Gauvin and she has one year left of a two-year term. There had been a first vice president and a second vice president but these positions were rolled into one vice president following a change in the chamber’s constitution. The board is made up of a combination of existing and new directors. Loralie Thomson from My Fitness

has one year left of a two-year term as does Janine Kraft of the Investors Group. Steve Dotto from the Northern Savings Credit Union has just finished a one-year term and will now serve a two-year term. New to the board are Neil Courtney from Skeena Valley Exteriors and Interiors, John Ryan from Nechako Northcoast Construction Services and Christine Leclerc from Hawkair. “It’s exciting that we have new directors on the board,” said chamber executive director Carol Fielding. “But we are still short and welcome anyone interested in joining the board.” The chamber acts as the area’s business voice and organizes business activities.

cannot support it as it stands,” said Davies. Adding to the debate, councillor James Cordeiro said that “If I had to pay my dishwasher $17.65 they’d be out of a job,” adding that he can’t support the proposal given what seems an overestimated living wage. The bone of contention is the spreadsheet formula used to arrive at the hourly wage for a given region. Several council members found it odd that Terrace’s living wage was only about two dollars less than Vancouver’s. PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until May 31, 2013.

concluding that “there would be some significant budgetary impacts to consider if council chooses to adopt such a policy.” The city’s library, which currently operates at $500,000 annually, much of which already goes into salaries, would incur a significant cost increase, Thompson said. Another municipal institution that would have to increase its salary budge significantly is the Heritage Park Museum. It has a number of seasonal employees who make significantly less that $17.65. Currently there are only three positions directly at the city which are paid less than the living wage. Pollitt had said during his March presentation to council that the living wage policy assumes employers will benefit from greater productivity. Bruce Bidgood, who ran for council with this policy as part of his platform during the 2011 general local election, said that the recommendation from the administration’s report was not specific enough. Councillor Marilyn Davies also expressed dismay at the lack of detail provided in the report presented by the administration. “I thought we had asked for the criteria. I

IT DOESN’T appear Terrace will be northern B.C.’s first Living Wage city any time soon as a resolution regarding the issue was postponed once again with no date set for revisiting the proposal. “It could be on the table for a hundred years,” said councillor Marylin Davies. This winter a University of Northern BC student group lead by undergraduate Devin Pollitt and professor Robert Hart asked council to become a living wage employer which means they would commit to paying all employees a minimum salary of $17.65 an hour and to ensure contractors and subcontractors were also paid that much. The figure comes from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives think tank and is based on calculations on what a family of four needs for a no-frill lifestyle with both parents working and assuming each works 35 hours a week. The only exemptions would include students on co-op placements and jobs that take less than one hour to complete. The proposal asks council to adopt the policy by March 1, 2014. City corporate administrator Alisa Thompson provided council with a report requested in March 2013

One suggestion from council was to go over the university students’ findings with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. Cordeiro said he thinks there might be a bias there, musing that he would like see what formula the Fraser Institute, a more right-leaning group, would come up with. “There must be a reason why only one municipality has adopted the program,” councillor Brian Downie said. Council had been told that three other similar municipalities

including Cranbrook, Williams Lake, and Esquimalt were living wage municipalities. But upon further investigation it seemed that only Cranbrook in the Kootenays had accepted it, and only at a community level. New Westminster in the lower mainland appears to be the only municipality to have fully adopted the policy in the province. The discussion seemed to unravel with councillors split on checking with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives while others remained critical, say-

the decision until more information is received. Meeting with the students is a also a possibility.

Bullying incident dealt with in Thornhill Police were called to a bullying incident in Thornhill last week, as parents, teachers and principals of two schools there dealt with a recent incident immediately. Terrace RCMP reported that a 10-yearold boy was being bullied by a 10-yearold boy and 10-year-old girl at a Thornhill school May 15 and that police spoke with

the principal who was dealing with the matter along with teachers and parents. Officers followed up with the parent to ensure the matter was dealt with, said Terrace RCMP media relations officer Const. Angela Rabut May 16. “Police are rarely called to incidents of bullying in Terrace schools,” said Rabut.

“The schools have taken a pro-active and zero tolerance approach to bullying and deal with it quickly.” Usually when police are called, they act as peacekeepers and provide guidance, she added. Later, in response to Thornhill Elementary principal Bill Lenuik saying that police did not speak with him, she said that

the investigating officer had spoken with the secretaries of the schools because both principals were resolving the issue, which occurred at a bus stop, at the time. “This matter was dealt with by the principals,” said Rabut, adding she had since talked to the principals of Thornhill Elementary and Thornhill Primary.

Bomb threat

An otter you can’t resist.

The threat was sent from a private computer using a public router that was located in one of the college dorms. The computer may even have been located outside the building, said Rabut. The college subsequently received a second threat on Nov. 22 and a third on Nov. 26 but they were not considered as severe as the first and the college was not closed. Rabut said last week that the same suspect may have made the two threats too. “At this time, the same suspect is believed to be responsible for the other threats as well. This file is concluded until more information is received and followed up on,” she said. “Police continue to work with the college to prevent future threats and use available internet logging technology to better identify the origin of threats in the future,” Rabut said. And the college did hire an extra security guard after the second and third threats were received.

Councillors’ NCLGA rise TERRACE CITY Councillor Bruce Bidgood was voted in as vice president of the North Central Local Government Association on May 2. Councillor Lynne Christiansen was also appointed as NCLGA representative for the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. “I was very fortunate to get almost unanimous support in the Northwest and also from the Northeast,” Bidgood said, though the exact voting numbers are undisclosed. The way succession works, Bidgood thinks he could advance to vice president and then president of the NCLGA in two years. “It’s time for us to resume a leadership role,” Bidgood said of the position of the Kitimat-Stikine district within the structure of local government in the province. He now plans to write a book about the intersection of social work and politics, a space he has inhabited for many years.

‘King of Rotary’ addresses Terrace

Rick King when he was president: “Mankind is our business.” He spoke of his humble introduction to Rotary in 1963 and how he has watched it grow into the force that it is today, working to eradicate disease in third world countries and touching lives in places like hospital rooms where equipment bears the Rotary crest. King said he was often referred to as the “baritone barrister” because of his two past professions and ended his Terrace performance with a song, accompanied by Art Erasmus on stage and a little help from the crowd below.

This year's Rotary theme is “Engage Rotary, Change Lives”, which implores members to spend the year getting excited about Rotary, connecting with each other, and engaging new members. The idea of asking for what you want, instead of just waiting for it to happen, is also a focus – and was the case here in Terrace. Skeena Valley Rotary Club's president Chris Oatway spoke to the fact that she saw King present for the first time in the spring of 2011, and just decided to ask him to come to Terrace. “If you want something, ask for it, they might say yes,” she said. And the Terrace event inspired Prince George to ask King to speak in Prince George, as well, which will be happening in the future, she said, noting that the success of the talk might encourage the two Terrace clubs to bring more speakers to the area.

Rick King, past president of Rotary International from 2001-2002 and celebrated speaker, has been in 132 countries giving emotional speeches like the one he gave here in Terrace. And while more than a few Rotarians in the room had heard him speak before, many said he never gives the same speech twice, and the room was abuzz with people thrilled to welcome him to Terrace. “I had no idea how beautiful it is up here or I might of come sooner,” King told the crowd, before regaling the crowd with a story that weaved his eclectic personal history (think: Vegas showman, lawyer, military captain, married to a Broadway dancer) with the themes of Rotary International, specifically the theme

Carver creates life-sized animals

By AMARA JANSSENS

Down a dirt road in New Remo, the Gagnon’s front yard is an exposition of more than 20 wooden animals carved to scale. Framing either side of the driveway, visitors will find a ram, wiener dog, Siamese cat and crows. Gerry Gagnon spends his retirement bringing wooden logs to life, as he’s discovered a new passion for chainsaw carvings. Approximately five years ago, Gagnon decided to take up the art. He personally cuts either spruce or cedar trees from his property and uses the trees to fuel his creativity. The most recent tree he cut was more than 140 feet tall, and is currently being used to create a life-sized rhinoceros. In fact, all of his carvings are created to be life-sized and look as realistic as possible. Before Gagnon begins carving, he researches the dimensions of the animal he is set to create. “I go online to see the sizes. Like the rhinoceros, I have never seen one so I don’t know the size, but on

the Internet you can get the sizes,” Gagnon explained. “They are all made the right size.” Behind the house is Gagnon’s workshop and shed dedicated to his hobby. Piles of logs and sawdust sit outside both structures. When the animal is large (like his previous works of rams, horses and buffalos), he first carves the body out of a single trunk using the largest of his five chainsaws. Using a series of progressively smaller chainsaws, Gagnon carves limbs and facial features. Very small and fine blades are used to create the fine detail that makes his sculptures appear real. He then uses clogs, which Gagnon described as the bones, to connect the different parts of the animal. Unlike many other chainsaw carving artists, Gagnon paints each of his sculptures with appropriate colours and sheen. He finds that by painting his carvings they appear more realistic. “The colours have to be exact,” he said. His projects take between two to six weeks to complete depending on their size. The larger sculptures can also weigh more than

nity response. His wife, Heather, said that each day they have multiple people driving by to look at the carvings and to take photos. Many people have

asked Gagnon to create replicas of his work to sell. However, he always denies this request as he feels it would make his hobby feel more like a business.

To date, Mr. Gagnon has created 35 chainsaw carvings. Only 22 are on display on his front yard as the rest have been gifted to his three children.

Program works to reduce FASD HELPING WOMEN who drink while pregnant isn’t as easy as just telling them to stop. The key is to find out why they are drinking, or self-medicating, and getting to the bottom of it so they can deal with it and move forward, says Kermode Friendship Society Circle of Life project manager Lisa Lawley. “When a women is actively using alcohol and drugs, she’s self-medicating for a reason,” says Lawley. “What is the reason, so how can we support her. Educate and awareness in a gentle way of what happens to the baby and what’s going on for her,” she says. “You can learn [Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder] FASD 101 from a book but you really don’t understand until you truly stop using your head and start listening with your heart.” FASD is caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol and can range from mild intellectual and behavioural issues to the more extreme that can lead to profound disabilities or premature death. Lawley has been running the Circle of Life program at Kermode Friendship Society for three years. The criteria for the program is someone with an addiction, who has children born with FASD and who is in her childbearing years, she says. The program helps women to get community services they need, while also having someone who will advocate for them and be their cheerleader, says Lawley. “Whether they actively use alcohol or drugs, we do not turn our back on them,” says Lawley. “We help them do harm reduction with the idea to reduce the number of children born with FASD.” Reducing harm for a woman can mean helping her find a home, assist her with relationship issues, help her get food – something that makes a difference in her life, says Lawley. The women are asked to pick five things most important to them and then they are helped to make those goals achievable so they feel successful and reach their goals, says Lawley.

“Our job is to empower women and make changes in their life to help them,” she says. “We don’t have a set focus. This is your journey and we will walk with you. When you take a step, we take a step. That’s our focus.” And it’s not just that a woman drinks and doesn’t care about her baby. “What happens if her partner drinks with her and says ‘if you don’t drink with me, I’ll leave.’ It’s not just low income aboriginal issues,” she says, adding alcoholism is in all socioeconomic groups. In the three years that Circle of Life has been available, it has made a difference. “We have women actively consuming alcohol in pregnancy and they actually stopped before the end [of the pregnancy],” says Lawley, adding the women feel empowered. “Women have gone on living healthier lifestyles with their family and raising their children.” Lawley, who has six children, three of whom have been diagnosed with FASD, has been speaking about her own life for 11 years. “Every time I speak I’m healing a piece of me,” she says. “My children are quite

strong and they stand behind me. They don’t hate me. We talk about it and I’ve had my daughter Jessica speak about her struggles as a youth with FASD and so we just keep pushing forward.” Part of getting rid of the judgment against a woman for drinking while pregnant is changing the terminology. Lawley spoke at the fifth International Conference on FASD in February in Vancouver as a “maternal mother” of a child with FASD about what it’s like, the struggles and how society looks her and others like her. Mothers of children with FASD are called “birth mothers” but that likely came about in the past when children with FASD were already in foster care, which isn’t true for everyone now, said Lawley. “It doesn’t sound like you cared for your children, no nurturing,” says Lawley about the term birth mother, adding it’s negative, so she changed it to maternal mother. In September, Lawley will attend the first International Conference on Prevention of FASD in Edmonton and sit on three panels there.

Kermodes win senior girls zones The Caledonia Kermodes senior girls’ soccer team is heading to provincials for the eighth year straight following a tight zone tournament in Smithers May 10-11. In the first game on Friday, the Kermodes met Kitimat’s Mount Elizabeth Secondary School (MESS) in the first match. At the end of regulation play, the game was tied at three, so the team’s heading into overtime – and then double overtime, where Cal scored to win the game. The next match saw them up against Smithers – the team who has been Cal’s toughest competitors throughout the short season. And Smithers proved they weren’t going to

make it easy for Cal to take zones, winning 1-0. On Saturday, Cal faced off against MESS again, this time beating them handily 3-0 in a crucial win. “The tournament was a double knockout format,” said coach Duncan Stewart. “Cal had to come through the back door to beat Smithers in the final.” Which is exactly what they did – winning 1-0 in the final game to qualify for provincials. This year, provincials are in Courtenay, B.C. May 30 - June 1 where they will compete against 15 other teams from around the province. “Top 10 finish is always the goal,” said Stewart.

Teambuilding travels for Taekwon-do’ers

Atlantis Taekwon-do students and instructors.

Students from Cody Skog’s Atlantis Taekwondo fared well under pressure at the International Changhon Taekwon-do Federation (ICTF) Western Canadian Taekwon-do Championships in Edmonton late last month, with 17 out of 21 students winning medals. And sensei and trainer Skog took gold in sparring and solo patterns, which will help to raise the profile of the club. “Almost every student exceeded their abilities, which is pretty cool,” he said. “Because sometimes the pressure’s on and you kind of choke.” This is the fifth year At-

lantis has travelled to Westerns – always a successful teambuilding mission, he said, because the team takes the train together and has time to connect. “The whole trip is pretty awesome because we take the train, and so there’s time to connect with everybody and just team bonding,” he said. “We go to the tournament, kick some butt, and then we go to the waterslides and celebrate.” The team was more prepared this year because they’d already hosted a tournament at home – the first in Terrace – although they typically do well at Westerns, said Skog.

“We do well,” he said. “We’re a bit stronger in our sparring, so I’m going to do some research as to why we’re not doing as well with our patterns, talk to some of the seniors.” The team fundraises all year for Westerns, but they’re also looking to the ICTF World Cup set to be held in Edmonton this October, meaning it will be easier for the club to attend. This year marks the ICTF’s 10th anniversary. The federation started in Edmonton in 2003 with two countries and has grown to encompass nine countries and an ever-growing membership.

Stingers stand tall in Tier 1 division They’re “The little team from the northwest” – both in terms of height, and the number of players on the team. There are only nine girls on the club volleyball team, with just a third of the players close to 6 feet tall – in the Lower Mainland, 6 feet is the average for most teams. But despite their size, this year the team ranked in the Tier 1 division, the elite division for 16-year-old girls, and just wrapped up their season at the Abbotsford Tradex, placing 14th in the province in their division. “Fourteenth may not sound great,” said coach Carmen Didier, who cocoaches with Steve Kitchen and Matt Veikle. “But it truly is. There were only two teams outside of the Lower Mainland that made Tier 1 and the Terrace Stingers were one of them.” “These girls were playing head-tohead against the best 16U volleyball players and teams in the province and being competitive,” she said. The club season started in January, with the team working on skill development for eight weeks before starting team strategy and the competition schedule. The first weekend in March the team travelled to Prince George and placed second. Over spring break, the girls travelled to Nanaimo and placed sixth at a BC Volleyball Association (BCVA) super series tournament. And right after returning from Nanaimo, the girls held a number of fundraisers to help cover some of the huge travel costs—these included a bottle drive, Bert’s Deli canteen work, Totem Ford cleanup, and a pakora sale. The very next week, the team was

Motocross season gears up in Terrace

BC Motocross Championship Series Rounds 7 and 8 happened May 11 and 12 at the Terrace Motocross track, located right across from the new industrial site on the Kitimat highway. And Sunday was an Amateur National Qualifier event for those who wanted a spot held to race in the National series. The Terrace track has been called one of the best tracks in B.C and in Canada by some riders who have travelled across Canada and to the United States – all thanks to Northwest Community College’s Heavy Equipment Operator Training Course which happens at the local track, said motocross volunteer Tanny Donecz. “These guys have done an amazing job,” she said.
