Lower natural gas prices closer THE PROSPECT of cheaper natural gas bills for northwestern residents brightened last week with more companies signing onto a planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Kitimat. Commonly called BCLNG, the project, which would take the form of a LNG plant on a barge, would use gas shipped through the Pacific Northern Gas line which serves the northwest. Although the cost of gas itself has dropped substantially in recent years, northwestern residents and small businesses have had to shoulder more of the costs of delivering the gas through the pipeline because large industrial who once used the line have gone out of business. BCLNG’s gas requirements would take up the excess capacity of the line, providing

Pacific Northern Gas with more revenue. The expectation is that the new revenue would in turn cut delivery costs for current northwestern residents and businesses. BCLNG had been a project of the Haisla and of a Texas enterprise LNG Partners but that ownership structure expanded last week to include an unnamed Asian company and Golar, a company which owns the specialized kind of vessel needed to ship LNG overseas. “They will work with us and LNG Partners of Houston to carry the project through permitting and a final investment decision later this year,” Haisla chief councillor Ellis Ross said. Golar is also expected to provide the expertise needed to put the floating LNG barge into place.

The Haisla have already secured land on Douglas Channel tidewater on which facilities will be built to pump gas from the PNG pipeline to the barge. Golar will have a 25 per cent stake in the project and the Haisla’s stake will now be 27.5 per cent. A successful investment decision this year would pave the way for the first gas to be exported starting in 2016. BCLNG is just one of two LNG projects to receive environmental approval and an export licence; the other is the Chevron/ Apache Kitimat LNG plant. But at an initial production level of 600,000 to 700,000 metric tonnes a year, it is much smaller than the 12 million tonnes a year forecast by Kitimat LNG. BCLNG also has a key advantage over

any other LNG project along the north coast – it will use an existing pipeline. The other projects require pipelines of their own. A successful investment decision this year would also go a long way to fulfil Premier Christy Clark’s BC Jobs Plan promise of having at least one LNG project up and running by 2015. The jobs plan was also an important part of the BC Liberal election platform and it tied in with another BC Liberal promise, to create a $100 billion Prosperity Fund using LNG revenues. Ross said the new partnership structure will also consider doubling the amount of LNG to be produced. That, in turn, will require some sort of expansion of the current Pacific Northern Gas pipeline.

Recycling program not likely By JOSH MASSEY It APPEARS unlikely that the city will revive a recycling program using two local companies. The chances of doing that were debated at a May 28 committee of the whole meeting after city officials said that bringing back what had been a pilot program was too expensive. The city-financed pilot program, started in November 2011 and ended the next spring, involved Geier Waste taking recyclable household paper, cardboard and plastics from a self-serve depot at the old Co-op property to the privately-run Do Your Part business in Thornhill. It was replaced by a free service, also based on a self-serve depot, offered by Waste Management but it stopped this March, citing cost. City official Tara Irwin told councillors reviving the Geier Waste/Do Your Part program was possible but that “history has shown it is expensive for the city to use Do Your Part.”

Survivors received flowers and a salute from the Lakelse Dragon Boat Society, who raised their paddles in a “victory arch” as the survivors rounded the last turn of the track.

Gun amnesty offered CONSTABLE ANGELA Rabut lays out the firearms on a table in an interview room of the local RCMP detachment. There are two .32 calibre snub-nose revolvers and a small side-by-side double barreled weapon called a pepper shooter that resembles a derringer – all three seized when officers went to a domestic assault call and subsequently found a marijuana grow-op. There’s also a weapon that looks like it started life as a .22 calibre rifle. But it’s been homemodified with the fashioning of a pistol grip and a shorter barrel. “There’s no reason for this weapon other than criminality,” says Rabut of the modified .22. It was seized by officers at a traffic stop. They smelled marijuana and found the weapon, complete with scabbard, when searching the vehicle. Now in the hands of the police, the weapon wasn’t claimed within a 30-day period and will be destroyed. “I wonder why,” says Rabut. The RCMP detachment set up the display to promote a provincewide gun amnesty for the entire month of June. Provided the weapon being turned in wasn’t used during the commission of a crime, police won’t take any action against the person surrendering the weapon. “It’s very important you don’t come to the detachment carrying firearms in your hands,” Rabut said.

rcmp constable Angela Rabut holds a .22 calibre weapon seized during a traffic stop. It has been modified by the fashioning of a pistol grip and other work. For the month of June, people who want a safe way of disposing guns, can call the police who will then collect them. Despite the amnesty, it is still illegal to carry an unlicensed or illegal weapon in your vehicle. “So give us a call and we’ll come to your home,” Rabut continued. The advantage of the amnesty is that, pending a check to determine if the weapon may have been used during a crime, there are no questions asked. Without the amnesty, people can turn in weapons but it is up to the discretion of the police to determine if further action might be taken. On occasion, said Rabut, guns turned into the police are those found by next of kin after a relative has died. “What we really want to focus on during the amnesty is getting guns off the streets that may be in homes but aren’t properly secure,”

she said. “If a person who ends up with a weapon has no interest in it, it can be left unsecured in a basement or somewhere and just forgotten.” Rabut says she’s surprised at times by the number of guns collected by people which are then found after the person has passed away. And one weapon, a rifle, was found by someone in their backyard. It apparently had been tossed there during the winter and came to light as the snow melted. In 2012, three guns were turned in at the detachment and 17 in all destroyed. The latter number includes ones seized or, for instance, ordered forfeited through court action. In 2011, five guns were turned in and 13 in all were destroyed.

The two men were 21 and 30 years of age and the women were 22 and 42 years of age. “They have been released pending further investigation and that investigation is ongoing,” said Peppler. Terrace RCMP officers assisted in the arrest. In a completely separate incident, a 21-year-old man was after two incidents in the same day in which

he wandered the halls of Mills Memorial Hospital bothering staff and patients. Police say this was the 10th complaint so far this year regarding the man and his behaviour. Officers have forwarded information they hope will lead to a charge of mischief. The man has been banned from the hospital unless there is a medical emergency.

Police find cocaine and arrest four KITIMAT RCMP say they continue to investigate the circumstances leading up to the arrest of four people from Kitimat in Terrace last week and the resultant seizure of a small amount of cocaine. The four, two men and two women, were stopped at Ferry Island the evening of May 28. “They were all known to police,” said Cpl. Darryl Peppler of the Kitimat RCMP.

What they said A MULTITUDE OF submissions were released by politicians, environmental groups and others in response to the May 31 deadline for those wanting to make appearances when a federal review panel examining Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project holds its final hearings in Terrace beginning June 17. Here are some excerpts:

Skeena NDP MP Nathan Cullen “THE sheer scale of this proposal, the disingenuousness of the proponent, and the complete abrogation of duty by the federal government sets a disastrous precedent,” wrote Cullen. “If this project proceeds, it’s an indication that this abusive process by the government and these reckless proposals by Enbridge can become the new norm. It tells us that this can and will happen anywhere in Canada – no matter the impact on the environment or the communities, or what kind of reputation the company has.” file PHOTO

workers at an Enbridge pipeline project located in Alberta.

BC rejects Gateway plan The B.C. government has recommended rejection of the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline project its final written submission to the federal environmental panel examining the proposed $5.5 billion project. Environment minister Terry Lake announced the decision May 31, two weeks after an election where pipeline politics played a key role. He said the B.C. government isn’t satisfied with the company’s plans for spill control on the twin pipeline proposed to run from northern Alberta to a tanker port at Kitimat. “Northern Gateway has said that they would provide effective spill response in all cases,” Lake said. “However, they have presented little evidence as to how they will respond.” Lake said any heavy oil proposal would be subject to the B.C. government’s five conditions, which include spill prevention and response, aboriginal participation and a share of oil export revenues for B.C. Enbridge Northern Gateway vicepresident Janet Holder said May 31 the

province’s position is not the end of the discussion. “The five conditions cannot be fully met until the end of the Joint Review Panel process,” Holder said. “We are working hard to meet the conditions and earn the confidence of the government and the people of B.C.” Provincial environment ministry staff evaluated the 192 conditions proposed by the Joint Review Panel, the federal agency that will make a recommendation for permits to Ottawa next fall. The B.C. government and Northern Gateway officials will give their final oral arguments to the panel when hearings resume in Terrace on June 17. The province’s May 31 release of its position came on the deadline day for those wishing to make submissions. Enbridge has argued that its submissions to the federal panel included 7,000 pages of technical reports and nine separate witness panels have answered every environmental question put to it. The panel has conducted 69 days of cross-examination of company officials by B.C. and other representatives.

Lake said the B.C. government is not opposed to heavy oil pipeline projects in general, such as the pending application to twin the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery facilities in Burnaby and Washington state. Although the province rejected the Northern Gateway proposal, it did leave some room for reconsideration in its 99page filing to the federal review panel. “The province is not in a position to support approval of the project as proposed ...” it said toward the end of its submission. “However, if the [review panel] decides to recommend that the project be approved, then it is of the utmost importance that the approval be accompanied by clear, measurable and enforceable conditions.” And while the province insists that legal requirements regarding aboriginal and treaty rights must be addressed and that economic benefits flow to First Nations, it offered no opinion as to whether the review has achieved those goals. With files from Tom Fletcher

Enbridge VP Janet Holder A statement attributed to Holder said the province in its submission “reaffirmed its commitment to the five conditions has put forward as a condition for pipeline development.” Those conditions include “world-leading” marine and land oil spill recovery systems and fiscal and economic benefits to BC reflecting the oil pipeline risk borne by the province. “We are working hard to meet the conditions and earn the confidence of the government and the people of BC. As a British Columbian, I am personally committed, as is Northern Gateway, to building a pipeline project that meets the highest possible safety and environmental standards anywhere in the world—and a Project that creates new jobs and opportunities for British Columbians.”

ForestEthics ONE OF the environmental groups opposing Northern Gateway is ForestEthics. Nikki Skuce, one of its campaigners, had this to say. “We’re thrilled to see the BC Liberals standing up with the majority of British Columbians. For all intervenors following the process, it was frustrating that Enbridge submitted an incomplete application, refused to respond to questions, and made over 240 promises once they got approval. As the BC government noted in its final arguments, ‘trust me’ doesn’t cut it when it comes to our watersheds and coast.”

Pipeline evaluation criteria too narrow JOHN HIEMSTRA’S position on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project may not be the one most people would normally expect from someone who lives in Alberta. But through a variety of questions he poses over the course of a presentation, it’s clear the Edmonton political science professor is opposed. When asked if that’s ever been a problem in his native province, he says he’s made a number of speaking appearances there. “Well, I’ve never

been asked to leave,” said Hiemstra of those appearances. Hiemstra, who teaches at King’s University College in Edmonton, stopped in Terrace courtesy of Centennial Christian School while on a recent speaking tour. He says the National Energy Board’s review of the pipeline project, set to conclude in Terrace starting June 17, is too narrow to take into account what he considers are essential questions about the approach taken to development in general and

to energy projects in particular. Hiemstra lays out a series of principles he says should be followed in evaluating Northern Gateway. One is whether First Nations have been involved in decision making as to whether Northern Gateway should be built. “Is it OK to build it if First Nations haven’t taken an equal role in the decision making,” asks Hiemstra. He also places Northern Gateway, and the Alberta oilsands, in the larger role oil it

plays in society. Hiemstra speaks of the addiction western society has to oil based on the premise that constant growth offering more and more material possessions is the ultimate objective. “How healthy is that,” Hiemstra wonders. Growth of the oil industry through increased development of the Alberta oilsands and pipeline construction to send the product to markets also has an effect on the environment, he said. That’s because the

more oil that is used, the greater the effect on climate change there will be. “If we hit a two degree increase [in temperature] we know there will be catastrophic effects,” Hiemstra continued. The prospect of temperature increase means energy companies will increasingly have to leave reserves untapped and untouched, he said. Simply put, Hiemstra continues, is that the world is running out of the ability to absorb and cope with change brought on by human

development. Hiemstra wraps his evaluation principles within the Christian context of the world. “Creation is a gift from God,” said Hiemstra, adding it is up to humans to respect and safeguard that gift. “These are the deep values of life whether they are Christian or not,” he states. “We need a fundamental shift and change with respect to fossil fuels.” (Note: John Hiemstra grew up in Terrace before leaving to pursue an academic career. He’s been teaching at

BUSINESS REVIEW

Terrace Standard Wednesday, June 5, 2013

www.terracestandard.com A5

Keith Ave. undergoing a boom ONE OF the busiest business corridors in Terrace these days is the section of Keith Ave. leading west of its intersection with Kenney St. on the southside. The arrival of a new industrial equipment rental business, the start of construction for two businesses, the pending start of a building for another business, the sale of three acreages and the leasing of a log yard owned by the City of Terrace to the YaoRun log export company has picked up activity in that area. “There’s been a real strong interest in light industrial property,” notes Remax of Terrace principle John Evans of the general upswing. Just last month three light industrial properties listed by Remax sold along the corridor. Two were once part of the Skeena Cellulose log yard and are divided by a rail spur connecting to CN’s main line. The 2.78 acres west of the spur to Blakeburn sold for $358,000 and the 4.5 acres east of the spur to the log yard leased by the city went for $500,000, said Evans. The two parcels had been owned by the same company which owns the large industry property east of Kenney toward the overpass which was once the location the now-dismantled Skeena Cellulose/ Terrace Lumber Company sawmill. Almost immediately across the road from the two above-mentioned

parcels, on the southside of Keith, 1.1 acres sold for $199,000, Evans added. No immediate development plans have been announced for the properties. Progressive Ventures, the purchaser of the 4.54 acre parcel, has added it to its property list in anticipation of a future development, says company marketing director Hatha Callis. Progressive Ventures does, however, have one construction project underway and is readying another one for a start soon along Keith. The first is a two-bay commercial truck wash that’s 7,000 square feet in size belonging to the same company owning Shiny Hansen’s detailing business right next door. “It’s a design-build on our part right from conceptual drawings and engineering,” said Callis. It’s scheduled to be completed in September. Right next to this development and not yet under construction is the location of an oil change and vehicle wash business owned by Lindsay Enterprises. “It’s going to be something new for Terrace,” said Callis of the enterprise. The two developments will be finished so that they act as one, functioning as a vehicle service centre, said Callis. Rounding out current construction on Keith

is a 4,000 square foot new home for Rudon Hydraulics that’s being built by Genuine Contracting. The company is now in a rented location but has outgrown the premises, says Dan Lindstrom, one of two partners. “Figuratively and literally we’re piled right up to the rafters and we want to expand our industrial supplies in response to our customers,” he said. “Hydraulics is our bread and butter but we do wish to keep growing.” Lindstrom said business began to grow starting three years ago and Rudon now has distributorships in Prince Rupert, Smithers, Kitimat and in Stewart. The business was started 18 years ago and Lindstrom and his business partner represent a second generation of family ownership. Boom lifts extending skyward signal a new business on Keith, United Rentals, which bills itself as the largest industrial equipment rental business in the world. The Terrace location is the company’s 16th in B.C. and the only one west of Prince George, explains district manager Robert St. Jacques. “We’re here definitely because of what’s going in the marketplace,” he said of the decision to locate here. “We’re here very much to support our customers in Western Canada who are now

ready to respond to customer demand as activity grows, he said. “We want to be ahead of the curve,” St.

Jacques added. One of United’s customers that drew it to the northwest is Scott Steel, a company in-

volved in the construction of the Red Chris copper and gold mine that’s due to open the spring of 2014.

Motel’s new owner tackles renovation THE Alpine House Motel on Lakelse Ave has been purchased by Sutha Nada of Coquitlam, B.C. for $400,000 and is being converted into a Rest Inn, the fifth outlet in his growing franchise. Nada is fixing up the old motel on Lakelse Ave. leading east of the city centre toward the old bridge with a $900,000 project that includes new floors, furniture, redone walls, and glassed-in balconies. “I live four days a week in Terrace and three in Vancouver. That’s my life right now,” Nada said. Next stop is Prince Rupert, where he wants to open up another motel. Rest Inn Terrace will have 29 rooms once renovations are complete. Nada also wants to add more parking and is also contemplating building condos, but both of those ideas hinge on purchasing a lot with unmaintained empty house to the east

of the motel. He said an offer to purchase the property was turned down. The renovation schedule calls for completion this summer. It began with removing fixtures and finishings. The rooms of long-stay clients, most of whom are here for work, will be renovated last. An out-of-town company called Maz Contracting has been brought in for the work. Some of the new features will include glassed-in balconies and rough-tile floors around the exterior as well as new walls placed over what is currently pained cinderblock on the interior. This is the third hotel or motel development underway or announced in Terrace this year. The Sunshine Inn development on Highway 16 beside Kalum Tire is now approved by the city and Superior Lodgings of Calgary wants to build on the old Co-op lands owned by the city.

EDITORIAL

Skills gap IT’S A game any local resident can play. And it’s free. Take 10 minutes and stand on one of the sidewalks of the overpass and watch the traffic. There’s one of those light blue pickup trucks belonging to Valard, B.C. Hydro’s main contractor on its Northwest Transmission Line. And there’s a white pickup with AltaGas on its side. That’s the company spending $1 billion building three run-of-river hydroelectric projects up north, power from which will flow into the transmission line. The logos and names, some of which are familiar and some not, go by in a flurry of shapes and colours. It’s all a sign of a growing economy based on real boots on the ground projects such as the transmission line and anticipation of the headspinning multi-billions in liquefied natural gas projects. The tricky part is ensuring that more and more of these vehicles are being driven either by people who have moved here or by northwestern residents who are trained in the wide diversity of skills needed to survive and thrive. Debate about skills training, or rather, a skills training gap, was all the rage in the run-up to May’s provincial election. As more and more companies seek social licence, defined as acceptance of their particular project, and as the federal and provincial governments encourage development, closing that skills gap must be at the top of the list.

n our family, being on time and keeping promises are taken for granted. When I step off a plane in Regina, if my brother said he’d meet my flight, I can depend on him being there, waiting for me to arrive. The same reliability exists down through the generations. My granddaughters are equally punctual and dependable. So showing up an hour late for a haircut appointment last week was a first for me. In turn, my hairdresser knows I and the rest of her customers also keep appointments, aware her income depends on us being there when she holds time for us. Both she and I said, “It could me by fault.” She worried she might have written the incorrect time on the appointment card she had given me after my last haircut. I in turn wondered aloud if I had written the incorrect time on my wall calendar, despite holding her appointment card when I wrote it. Through years as her customer, we had never resorted to appointment cards. Both my dentist and my eye

THROUGH BIFOCALS

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI doctor always hand me an appointment card mainly because the next appointment is at least six months in the future. And a few days before the appointment, they either phone to remind me, or mail me a reminder postcard. Both of which I appreciate. On a rare occasion, the reminder has saved the day after I somehow failed to make a note of the date on my wall calendar. But at the time of my previous haircut, she was planning to go on holidays for several weeks. To make sure I was in the queue for a trim shortly af-

ter her return, we agreed on a return date before I left her shop. The card was intended to help me remember another future commitment. Friday morning she had been expecting me at 10:00. When I walked in at 11:00, she had been watching for me, especially since I’d never been late. At 11:00, she was instead waiting for a young man named Paul to arrive. But due to her long holiday absence, and juggling of appointments by others of his family, she was uncertain whether he would arrive. Together we watched traffic going by as we waited seven minutes. I was thinking, “If I don’t get a haircut today, it could be weeks before she can fit me in again. By then I might need barrettes or pony tail clips.” Luckily for me, Paul failed to show. She gave me my haircut. Once home, I checked my wall calendar, only to discover when I wrote the 10 my ballpoint had skipped lightly on the left side of the digit; at a glance it was easy to misread the zero as a one, hence my belief I had a date with her at 11:00.

S TANDARD

I immediately phoned my hairdresser and explained where my confusion lay, totally absolving her of my tardy arrival. On my next trip to town, I bought a package of five black Bic Sharpies and planted them around the house. These give an extra black solid line legible at some distance. I’ve begun re-writing my telephone directory of most frequently called numbers, using the Sharpie instead of a fine line ballpoint, for easier, more accurate reading even without glasses. And while I was in the store, I bought a solar powered calculator with extra large keys to replace the ordinary Texas Instrument I had been using since August 1997. The older one had begun to give me incorrect totals when I reconciled my bank statements. Not big discrepancies, mind you, but 58 cents when the correct total should be 21 cents is unhelpful when bookkeeping. Claudette Sandecki is keeping a close eye on the time from her Thornhill home.

pad drilling for natural gas in Encana’s Cutbank Ridge resource play in northeastern B.C.

Gas is responsible way to go Dear Sir: The Kispiox Valley Community Center Association, in an advertisement published May 22, 2013 put forward several claims about natural gas development in BC. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) agrees that a frank and open conversation on this issue is important, considering the significance of this issue to all British Columbians. We also believe a meaningful conversation must be based on facts, not on unsubstantiated claims. Here are some facts.

The province’s natural gas industry, including production and pipeline transportation, is highly regulated by the BC Oil and Gas Commission. Strict regulations, combined with industry’s operating practices for hydraulic fracturing, which address water use and management, have contributed to an exemplary safety record of natural gas development not only in B.C. but in all of Canada’s natural gasproducing jurisdictions. Industry produces natural gas safely and responsibly every day. More than 175,000 wells have been hydraulically fractured over the past 60 years in B.C.

and Alberta without a single documented case of harm to drinking water, according to regulators. Natural gas is the cleanest-burning hydrocarbon. It burns 50 per cent cleaner than coal when used in power generation. Natural gas also has lower sulfur dioxide and particulate matter emissions than coal. The U.S. Energy Information Administration stated last year that carbon dioxide emissions from energy use were the lowest in 20 years, partially as the result of increased natural gas use in power generation.

Dear Sir: I read through Stan Kincaid’s plans to build an eco-friendly housing development on the Bench in Terrace with great interest. His idea to utilize modern technology with a smaller housing footprint fits right into the necessity of behavioural change that is required to reduce every person’s personal participation in natural resource depletion. Canada’s per person carbon dioxide emissions were 15.3 tons / capita in 2009. For comparison reasons and to put it into perspective: Qatar 44 tons, Australia 18.3, USA 17.2, Russia 11.0, Germany 9.4 and last on the list Afghanistan with 0. Now we surely should not strive to be like Afghanistan, but rethinking how we live and having a productive dialogue along the lines of Mr. Kincaid’s plan is most certainly necessary. His plan is also intriguing from a taxpayer’s perspective, or in reverse from a municipal budgeting perspective. The public infrastructure of Terrace, all its roads, water and sewage facilities, etc. is predominantly financed via property taxes either by small businesses or by residents. A city the size of Terrace with its existing acreage and roads connecting it all, would house approximtely 50,000 people in central Europe. Yes, I did actually map it all out via Google Earth and ran a one on one comparison. Furthermore, his plan to utilize geothermal heating and cooling is the future for rural Canada. The idea or dream of the renewable energy lobbyists to connect all of Canada with renewable energy sources (wind, solar, tidal, hydro, etc.) is impossible to achieve due to the size of the country and the comparatively small number of Canadian’s population. The rates for power would explode, as they have in Germany over the last 20 years, where the average rate per kWh is five times higher compared to BC’s rates.

Unseen figures control corporate actions

n his return from an inspection trip to examine the results of the clean-up undertaken by Enbridge following an oil spill in Michigan, a Terrace municipal official was impressed with what he saw and experienced. He cautioned citizens to “dig into [the] facts who Enbridge is” when evaluating their proposal for the Northern Gateway Project. Enbridge Inc. is a Calgarybased pipeline transport company, initially incorporated in 1949 under the name of Interprovincial Pipe Line. The company is headed by a 12-member board of directors, one half of whom reside in Canada the other half in the U.S. The average age of the eleven men and one woman who make up the board is 66 years. The average length of their term on the board is 8.8 years. The Chair, David A. Arledge, lives in Naples, Florida. That does not tell me who Enbridge is; it only gives me a thumbnail

picture of the company’s highest authority. Enbridge is a corporation, what the law dictionary defines as “a legal entity distinct from its shareholders or members with liability separate from its shareholders or members vested with the capacity of continuous succession.” Put simply, a corporation is born from man’s imagination. Its structure is comparable in principle to that of a bunch of pre-teen boys with an excess of energy and too much free time: they can come up with some wild ideas, but when they get into trouble … nobody is responsible. My first well-paid job in Canada was with Westcoast Transmission Company Limited, a company in the same business as Enbridge, and both created in 1949. When I started to work for Westcoast, nearly 50 years ago, the board chair was Frank McMahon, an entrepreneur par excellence. Frank had lobbied hard to bring about a change in

g u e s t c o mm e n t

ANDRE CARREL Canadian law to allow the export of natural gas to the US. When the law Frank was promoting was finally passed, his company built Canada’s first biginch pipeline to pump natural gas from the treatment plant in Taylor B.C. (named after Frank) to the US. Everybody who worked for Westcoast then knew Frank, or at

least we felt as if we knew him. His picture and signature adorned the “Message from the Chairman” in the company’s monthly newsmagazine. Frank was the company: the company reflected his vision, his ambition, and his values. That is how people knew who Westcoast was and what it stood for. Soon after McMahon’s death in 1986 his company was renamed Westcoast Energy Inc., and in 2002 it was bought out by Duke Energy of North Carolina for $8 billion. Spectra Energy is also in the picture somehow and frankly, finding out what has become of Frank McMahon’s Westcoast company will confuse anyone who attempts to do so. The pipeline network Frank and his company built has been expanded enormously over the past half century, but most of it is still in the ground and still moves gas from northern B.C. to the U.S. We cannot know corporations in the way we can know human

beings. In that sense, corporations do not exist at all. Corporations are artificial creations that exist in law only. Westcoast, Duke, Spectra, Interprovincial, and Enbridge are little more than brands, carefully nurtured creations from someone’s imagination. They have no shape, no colour, no odour, no feelings, no guilt, and make no sound. How we citizens perceive the corporations among us depends on the decisions of the people who act in the name of these corporations. These people are mostly strangers to us, they come and they go. The important proviso is that these people are not personally responsible for the consequences of their decisions. Our reality flows from the consequences of the decisions made by persons who are themselves protected from these very consequences. Andre Carrel is a retired public sector administrator living in Terrace, B.C.

Open minds needed Rural Canada’s energy future lies not in grand macro-solutions, but in small local solutions. For Terrace this could be geothermal, for other areas in rural Canada, which are not blessed by BC’s geography of mountain ranges and water everywhere, it might be wind or solar. For a long time it will still be natural gas as the cleanest burning fossil fuel we have, or for our region the development of community legacies derived from the LNG developments (community heating, large scale greenhouse operations, natural gas public transportation fleets etc.) So, one would think that Mr. Kincaid would be applauded for his plan and his commitment to be innovative, until the banana (build absolutely nothing anywhere near anyone) crowd rears its head. Armed with prejudice such as “over time we’re going to attract the wrong crowd up there” and unwavering bias, is a good idea being ridiculed and put into question, where no question should be. Instead of starting the discussion with a blatant

“no”, one would hope for a more productive sharing of ideas along the lines of how can we make this work and how can we as future neighbours help Mr. Kincaid shape his plans and make it fit. If only a few of the major projects currently being proposed in our region make it to the finish line, we will see a population increase in Terrace. Make no mistake, the investments into the mall, new hotels and new businesses in town are all based on the premise that some of the major projects will go ahead and will be built. This will require innovative and new ideas. It will require open minds towards these new ideas and the ability to have productive dialogue and see the bigger picture. The ability of a community to keep living in it affordable, both for businesses and residents, is tightly connected with the ability of its leadership to develop the community with a vision and new innovative ideas. Ideas as they were presented to council by Stan Kincaid. Alexander Pietralla, Terrace, B.C.

Leadership needed to stop criminals Dear Sir: When I read “Stopping crime isn’t easy,” an article in the May 29, 2013 edition of The Terrace Standard, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, or better yet, quit my job and start selling drugs in the community. When I read what our public servants had to say, why should I work for a living and pay taxes and obey the law? “I think a lot of the public also perceives that they can call the police and the [problem] person is thrown in jail and that’s not how the system is designed,” said RCMP Inspector Dana Hart in the story. I hate to break this to you but yes, it is. Perhaps if you operated as an officer of the RCMP, sworn to uphold the law, instead of a politician, criminals wouldn’t commit crimes on your front doorstep. They would certainly respect you enough that a prolific thief would not rub it in your officers’ faces. Maybe your officers wouldn’t be picking up the same individuals over and over again. Strange also being that crime prevention is supposed to be primary mandate of the RCMP as well as providing protection to help keep Canadians and their communities safe and secure. Don’t confuse righteous indignation with ignorance, and then insult our collective intelligence. Yes, crime in the community is a complex subject. Our criminal justice system isn’t designed to deal with complex social issues anymore than RCMP officers are trained to be social workers. Nor should they be. That’s why we have educational, medical and social services. These are areas we should be exploring as to why our society is failing. As for poverty being a factor, many of the individuals who are committing crimes came from good homes and are financially poor because of the bad choices they made. I’m sorry but if smoking crack was a high paying profession, everyone would lighting up. I also know many in the community that came from bad homes that for some reason go to work

everyday and are productive citizens. Should we lock everyone up then? Of course not. I support alternative sentencing for property and minor drug offences but also believe that violent, sexual and chronic offenders should be properly dealt with. Like most Canadians, I’m getting sick of the violence, and the lack of leadership from our public officials. It seems like I’m stuck between the incompetence of public servants disguised as politically correct nonsense on one side and Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his right wing omnibus crime bills on the other. If we are not careful, we will wake up in a land of mandatory minimum sentencing, prisons as an industry, random roadside check points and DNA profiling on command. The people will demand it. William Ramsdin, Terrace, B.C.

Lakes said at risk Dear Sir: Recent letters about Rio Tinto Alcan increasing its emissions missed a very important problem resulting from acid rain. And that would be the permanent environmental damage that results to lakes subjected to acid rain over long periods of time. We have enough problems of declining fish populations with fishermen having the traditional trout catches taken away from them in the form of mandatory catch and release of bull trout and char species in the rivers and streams of the Skeena area and now Rio Tinto Alcan wants to double its emissions of sulphur dioxide which is a major contributor to acid rain. Someone in the provincial environmental ministry should be castigated if this doubling of Alcan emissions is approved. Rio Tinto Alcan – you sure are not a very good corporate environmental steward if you think that the general public will swallow your poison pill of sulphur dioxide and acid rain that you want to double.

Teen hiker rescued after mountain fall

The BC Museums Association invites you to participate in their Annual Conference & Regional Workshop

By MARGARET SPEIRS

TERRACE SEARCH and Rescue undertook a dangerous rescue of a teen hiker who had fallen down Thornhill Mountain while hiking with friends May 21. After clearing an area on the hillside and assessing the landing area, search and rescue decided everyone would have to be evacuated by a “toe-in” method, said search and rescue member Dwayne Sheppard. The toe-in method means the helicopter would place its skids on the slippery slope and maintain full power while people climbed into it, he said. “Toe-in is dangerous because the helicopter is under full power with all blades rotating at full speed. In this case with only the front of the skids touching the slope, the helicopter is carefully balancing itself,” said Sheppard. “Now imagine people climbing into the helicopter under these conditions.” Paramedics asked for assistance from Terrace Search and Rescue to help transport an injured hiker off Thornhill Mountain at 4:47 p.m. May 21, said Sheppard. One person in a hiking party of three had slid down a steep snow-covered slope and landed on some rocks in a drainage between the rocks and melting snow, he said.

TERRACE SEARCH AND RESCUE PHOTO

TERRACE SEARCH and Rescue members used a helicopter to make a dangerous rescue of a teen on Thornhill Mountain last month. The injured 18-yearold sustained minor injuries, was wet and suffering from mild hypothermia, and another hiker also had mild hypothermia, he said. After a command post was set up in the lower parking lot by Old Lakelse Road, six search and rescue volunteers went up the hiking trail with stretchers and medical equipment to find the injured hiker, said Sheppard. The three hikers were found about three kilometres up the mountain on a snowcovered slope, he said. With two hours left before nightfall, the medical team decided to heli-evac everyone off the mountain, added

Sheppard. Thornhill Fire Department assisted and had additional firefighters on standby to assist in a trail evacuation if the helicopter could not land at the site, said Sheppard. A chainsaw and additional medical equipment were taken by a Lakelse Air helicopter to the hillside area, he said. Three additional hikers on the mountain helped the search and rescue team with wrapping the injured teen in blankets to keep him warm, cutting trees and creating a helipad, said Sheppard. Eleven people were taken off the mountain by helicopter about a

half hour before dark and the medical equipment and stretchers were left behind to be picked up the next day, said Sheppard. The teen was taken to Mills Memorial Hospital. He was released after being treated in the emergency room to follow up with his own doctor, said Northern Health Authority official Eryn Collins. “Through followup, it was decided he should be sent to Vancouver,” she added. On May 25, he was medevaced to Vancouver for medical treatment for a damaged kidney and Vancouver General Hospital confirmed he had been released last week.

Bear paws cut off THE Ministry of the Environment was alerted May 24 to a dead bear with its paws cut off found by Lakelse Lake which is raising concerns about poaching and improper disposal of a carcass. The bear, found behind the firehall off Highway 37 South, was a 2-3 year old sub-adult, according to local conservation officer Gareth Scrivner, which made it an unlikely target for a trophy paw kill. “This wasn’t

poached for the paws itself based on my experience,” Scrivner said. “It was probably a problem bear out at the lake and somebody probably took the situation into their own hands to shoot it and then I think they just didn’t want to drive so far with it and dumped it right there by the highway behind the firehall.” Scrivner said the paws would have been too small to be considered trophies.

“It’s unusual that somebody would take the paws off of it.... it was two or three year old cub so it wouldn’t make a trophy,” Scrivener said. Paws or no paws, leaving a dead bear near a populated area is dangerous because it can attract other ones and it is illegal. Total fines would be about $1500 for hunting i closed season, unlawful possession and unlawful dumping, Scrivener said.

VOTING RESULTS for the Skeena riding were finalized earlier this week, solidifying NDP candidate Robin Austin’s re-election win over BC Liberal Carol Leclerc in the May 14 provincial election. The final tally from Elections BC marks Austin at 5,609 or 47.71 per cent of the vote. That’s 522 votes over Leclerc’s 5,087 or 43.27 per cent of the vote. Preliminary results on election night had the count closer, with only 363 votes between the two candidates. Austin campaign manager Gord Lechner said he was expecting the gap to widen as the final votes were counted. “Many of those votes are from very committed voters, either out of the riding or voting early before advance polls were open,” he said. “We historically do well in the advance and absentee poll stations.” Voter turnout for the Skeena riding has also increased, with final numbers from Elections BC showing that 11,756 registered voters took to the polls. There were 20,645

Provincially, voter turnout was up at 1,802,079 voters, that’s 161,537 higher than 2009’s 1,640,542 that translated into a 50 per cent voter turnout. Premier Christy Clark will unveil her new cabinet this Friday at a ceremony in Van-

couver, a change in protocol because cabinets are traditionally sworn in by the LieutenantGovernor at Government House in Victoria. Clark lost her own seat May 14 and must decide which Liberal MLA will resign so a by-election can be held.

In our

registered voters in Skeena as of April 23, according to Elections BC. Using those numbers, voter turnout is close to 57 per cent, just under the provincial average of 58 per cent, and two per cent higher than the 55 per cent that turned out in Skeena in 2009. When comparing the 2013 results with those of the last provincial election in 2009, Austin’s vote went down by 256 and Liberal challenger Carol Leclerc posted 759 more votes than Donny van Dyk did for the Liberal party in 2009. And as a result, Austin’s majority was slashed from 1,537 in 2009 to just 522 this time. Austin’s first election victory in 2005 was accomplished when he collected 6,166 votes compared to 5,807 for incumbent MLA Roger Harris who receive 5,807 votes. Final voter registration numbers, including voters who registered on election day, will not be released until the official Statement of Voters list is released.

Burn victim is recovering

www.terracestandard.com

TED WATTS, the middleaged homeless man who was physically assaulted and burned by three men in south Terrace nearly two weeks ago, is recovering after being prescribed a cream for his burns. He is, however, still sleeping on the streets because he says social assistance can’t help him and he was banned from the local homeless shelter. “I’m sleeping on the ground. I got my coat,” Watts said, adding that Mills Memorial Hospital offered him sanctuary during the critical period of his recovery when

he needed rest, for which he is very thankful. Watts said he was carrying $400 and a bottle of vodka at the time of the attack and that his assailants were after his alcohol. “Welfare won’t reimburse me. They said if you’re robbed we can’t help you,” Watts said. The money was his entire savings, withdrawn the same day from his bank account because he says creditors were going to seize it. “I bought a bottle of vodka at a south side liquor store. Three kids saw me, in their 20s and they took $400 from my

He says that he wasn’t allowed into a local shelter after an altercation with one of the staff. A police report says the incident took place at approximately 11 p.m. May 23 when Watts was walking to the men’s shelter operated by the Ksan House Society on Hall St. Three men held him to the ground and stole a 26 ounce bottle of Smirnoff vodka and money, the report says.

Tuck repave axed as McConnell costs soar IT was a tough hit to take but council decided May 27 to accept a recommendation from the city’s development services department to pay what amounts to an additional $223,000 to redo the 4700 block of McConnell Ave. The original tender had come in from Bear Creek Contracting at $825,973.25, which, when added to the water component ($160,000) and paving ($164,000), was $355,000 more expensive than what the city provided in the 2013 budget. So the city changed the terms of the project and retendered it earlier this month. In the second round of bidding, Billabong Road and Bridge Maintenance quoted $595,187.60 to Bear Creek Contracting’s new offer of $599,361.03, and Billabong was rewarded the job officially last Thursday with the passing of the recommendation. Director of public works Rob Schibli explained to council how his department had reworked the terms of the agreement the second time around to cushion the financial blow. Schibli recommended that the city delay repaving 4700 Tuck Ave. which will free up $113,000 for the McConnell project and also to take $40,000 from the city’s general surplus. On top of that, Schibli said the city will be providing $70,000 of water piping to the project. The new project plan also reduces some of the job’s detail—removing a basin and a manhole that the city decided aren’t necessary. Also, at the McConnell/Eby intersection, some of the repaving cost can be shifted to the Eby pulverize and pave project, Schibli said previously. Though council voted to accept the recommendation, several members expressed exasperation at the high price which throws off the 2013 budget passed earlier this month. “It’s really frustrating to council,” mayor Dave Pernarowski said. “Does it make sense when you look at the bid?” Schibli responded that economic growth

in the region has made it more difficult to find construction companies and that in the past, the city enjoyed the lower costs associated with having local companies competing on the con-

tracts. “Historically the $1.5 to 2 million we spent on capital work in a year was a large component of the construction activity in the region and now it is

a drop in the bucket,” Schibli said, adding that the tender for redoing Park Ave also came in higher than expected. “Are we predicting poorly or are they charging too much?”

asked councillor Bruce Bidgood. “Maybe we should take a look at how we make these predictions.” Schibli did admit his department underestimated the cost of redo-

ing the densely populated McConnell which has many large paved driveways to be dug up and poor ground conditions. “It’s a tough job,” he said. Schibli said the recommendation called

for postponing the repaving of Tuck because it was the last street to make the list of accepted summer construction jobs based on the expectation of lower costs from last year.

Popular band plays final concert BY MARGARET SPEIRS ONE OF the area’s favourite bands is no more. Soul Professors played its official final concert of blues, Motown and funk at cancer society fundraiser Jackstock May 25. (They did return to play one set at the Relay for Life last Saturday.) Sax player Paul Sametz says it’s hard to keep a band together with so many members, 10 or more, and there’s really no place to play in town, except for the bar at the Northern Motor Inn. “A couple of people resigned and there were a couple attempts to get replacements and we possibly could play as a smaller combo, but I think that might be letting down some of the audience,” said Sametz, adding that there’s about 180 to 200 people who have come to every gig the band has played. Saxophonist Glen Grieve left the band and two of the members are in Dr. Fishy too, he said.

When the band started out six years ago, the members would hold their own gigs and put on special Halloween and Valentine’s Day events. Then they managed to get some times to play at the Northern but that was about the only place to play, said Sametz. Soul Professors have played at many charity events too, he added. “We’ve very supportive of community events like that,” he said. There’s a risk to putting on their own shows and it costs money to play regular gigs as there’s guitar strings to be replaced, and suits to get laundered, he said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do without playing with these guys,” said Sametz. “It’s really inspiring to play with female vocalists,” he said, adding they are amazing. Since the band started, it’s had five female vocalists: former vocalists Britt Macleod, Rachel Schroeder, Samantha Kantola and current members Melia

Poetry book pays tribute to community members A LONGTIME resident has penned a book of poetry about the people and institutions close to his heart. Charlie Meek’s book, Remembrance and Gratitude: a Selection of Poems and Writings, includes tributes to military veterans, community-minded individuals and organizations in Terrace and Meek’s Scottish ancestry. “It’s my way of paying tribute and dedications to the people mentioned,” he says. He is known for officiating the Remembrance Day ceremonies every year at the Tilli-

cum Twin Theatres and officiating funeral and memorial services. He also runs Care and Respect Services, which transports those who die in car accidents or suspicious deaths to wherever the coroner asks, usually the morgue. Meek, who has been writing poetry since 1995, says he had a folder full of his writings and two of his friends, Bill and Norma Young, encouraged him to do the book. “She suggested to me that I should publish them,” said Meek about Norma. “It’s an unusual book

for sure and she thought it was something because most of the things in the book are about people from our community.” In the book are poems about his wife, friends, Thornhill Fire Department and the Mills Memorial Hospital; the latter two to show his appreciation for all their help and service to the community. “I think I can say I have a favourite, other than the one for my wife, is the tribute to fallen heroes, A Mother’s Son,” says Meek. The poem is about soldiers in war and a

mother waiting for her son to return home. His first poem was a tribute to city freeman and community supporter Vesta Douglas 18 years ago. At that time, the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra was here and he got Douglas to come see them, he says. “She was so excited to come to the show and I had the orchestra play a particular song, My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose,” he says. “Vesta didn’t know I was doing it and I read it (the poem) out to her. What a wonderful day that was.” Copies of the book

Charlie Meek have gone overseas already and down into the U.S. where Meek has friends. Meek hopes to have enough poems in the future for a second book.

who loves playing and sounds great. The band’s longevity is a “testament to how fabulous this style

of music is. It’s a real inspiration and a lot of fun.” He said the band would be willing to play special events in future.

Food bank ends season on high TERRACE churches Food Bank finished its year on a positive note, with its numbers slightly down from April, said its president. The bag count from January to May was down 400 bags, or eight per cent, from 2012. “We regularly get the question ‘why do you think the numbers are decreasing?’ There are no solid answers to this question but perhaps some of our clients are now currently employed by new businesses that have opened recently,” said food bank president John Wiebenga. “In May, we were blessed with extra supplies of food and dry goods, which came from local stores as well as Food Banks BC out of Vancouver, which we are a member of,” he added, saying that included extras like cereal, coffee, paper towels, kleenex and garbage bags. Most volunteers are on summer break, while a skeleton number continue to “man the store.” Food and other items continuously coming in through summer will help to prepare for the fall season. The food bank thanks the businesses and individuals for their support in the past year, without whom it wouldn’t exist, said Wiebenga.

Track athletes head to provincials THREE TERRACE high school track and field athletes are heading to provincials in Langley May 31 after qualifying at zones in Smithers earlier this month. The Grade 8 girls and boys from Skeena Middle School (SMS) won the Northwest banner at the zones track meet in Smithers May 17 and 18, led by Tyler Dozzi winning seven events and setting two meet records in the 1500 m steeple chase and 300 m hurdles. Tanesha Davis won her shot put and 100 m. Both Davis and Dozzi qualified for the provincials, Davis in shot put and Dozzi in the 3000 m. Dozzi won outstanding Grade 8 boy athlete, and outstanding performance with his steeple chase victory. Davis won the outstanding performance by a Grade 8 girl in shot put. Other notable Grade 8 athletes are Amber Schulte, winning javelin and discus, and Joey Parkes, taking 3 seconds in 400 m, 800 m and 1500 m. Shivohn Peters, MJ Wraight and Keith Buell also did very well in the throwing events winning more than enough points, 105, to win the Grade 8 banner. Nisga'a Elementary Secondary School placed second with 66 points. Grade 9 Hannah Jay also represented SMS Jay broke the senior girls record in the 200 m, but not the junior record in which

she was competing. In long jump, Jay just missed the record of 4.79, jumping 4.72. But she finally did set a record in the 100 m, 12.59 in the heats, and won the final easily. Jay will be going to provincials in Langley with Dozzi on May 31 and June 1 to compete in all three events. Her times in the 100 m and 200 m are the fastest times this year in the province. Jay also won the outstanding junior girl athlete and outstanding performance in the 200 m. And Caledonia Secondary School sent six athletes to the zones. Summer Schulte won javelin and discus, qualifying in both for the provincials. Like Davis, Schulte will pass on participating in provincials this year. Cameron Netzel got off his crutches earlier in the week to compete in high jump and javelin, both events he has represented the zone in at past provincials. Not being able to transfer his weight onto his left ankle, he place third in javelin. But Netzel did win the high jump clearing 170 cm off his wrong foot. With that jump, Netzel won the outstanding senior boy performance with his effort in high jump and will compete at provincials, too. Brad Brown and Kenan Kinney competed in the senior boys division with Isabella Lewis and Tea Archibald competing in the junior girls. Archibald was third to Hannah Jay in the 100 m final.

Dragon boat season all fired up THE LAKELSE Dragons’ crew headed to Prince Rupert on May 25 for the first big dragon boat event of the season, the fourth annual Prince Rupert Dragon Boat Day. “It was an amazing success,” said Cheryl Paavola, club president of Prince Rupert’s Rainbow Warriors Dragon Boat Team, of the race. “The water was perfect, all of the teams had a lot of fun.” Six northwest teams came out for the event, that saw RTA Youth (1:18:04) eek out a win against the RTA Dragons (1:18:74) in the Division A Final. Northern Spirit (1:27:96) bested Motley Crew (1:32:97) in the Division A Final. And the Lakelse Dragons (1:41:03) fell to Tragically Quick (1:22:66) in the consolation final. “We had an awesome time,” said Lakelse Dragon Carole Marcellin. This year’s theme was “The Wild Wet West”, meaning the athletes came to the event donning cowboy attire. This is the second year the race went the theme route, with last year’s participants dressing like “Pirates of the North Pacific.” The Lakelse Dragons are

THE LAKELSE Dragons’ crew, pictured, paddled in ‘The Wild WET West’ Dragon Boat Races in Prince Rupert May 25. now gearing up for the June 8 and 9 paddling clinic happening at Parkside and at Water Lily Bay at Lakelse Lake – where you can usually find the dragon boaters on Sundays and Wednesdays for their regular paddle sessions. The clinic is hosted by Don Mulhall, the race director/center manager at the Penticton Paddling Center. “Our member Kirsten Earl ... initiated this clinic as she

had the opportunity to paddle under Don while visiting in Penticton and found him to be a very good instructor/coach,” said dragon boater Pam Bibby. “The general intent of the clinic is to improve our stroke/ paddling technique.” The clinic will start with a couple hours of classroom time, followed by a few hours out on the lake, where the group will be videotaped so they can later review their

technique. On Sunday, Mulhall will instruct those who wish to become steerspeople. “This is an important position and we are keen to find more individuals willing to take this on,” she said. All levels are expected to attend, she said, and coaches are using the opportunity to increase their repertoire of skills so they’re able to lead and help team members to continue improving.

THE TERRACE Northmen go up against the Williams Lake Rustlers June 8 at the NWCC field. This is the first league game of the season for the Northmen in the Northern Rugby league.

They will be removing graffiti, painting a regulation track on the court surface, repairing the bench (so spectators have a place to sit and watch the team practise).

Longboarder has a long ways to go

SPORTS

www.terracestandard.com A27

By JOSH MASSEY As Northern B.C. wraps up Bike-to-Work-Week, James Osmond is dealing with a much larger agenda, what you could call Longboard-across-Canada Summer. He's 22 days into his 9,020 kilometre west coast to east coast trip to raise money for his nonprofit initiative called The Big Push with all proceeds going directly to the Canadian Cancer Society. It's Osmond's first time venturing west of Ontario, and he's inspired by the memory of his grandfather who died from prostate cancer a few years ago. Osmond rolled into Terrace on May 24 after finishing a three-day leg from Prince Rupert, rain clouds on his heels. “The weather was horrible that one day,” he recalled. “I only got 40 kilometres. I had to camp out at a rest stop.” He is directing those he meets along the way to the Big Push website, which can be found with a simple google search, to make their donations. He originally planned a four month trip but says that it's already looking like it will be four and a half. He aims to finish his journey in Cape Spear Newfoundland and says that as far as he can tell it would be the first time someone has long-boarded all the way across Canada, though says there are two other boarders attempting the feat this summer.

James Osmond is longboarding across Canada to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. Here he is in Terrace, B.C. on May 24.

inlay and I were discussing trout fishing and provincial politics in the coffee shop. He told me he’d driven to the Kitimat the day before. Not having much time or energy, he’d decided to park at the orange bridge and make the short walk upstream to run the span crosses. There was nothing hatching, he told me, taking a peppermint tin from the pocket of his Cowichan sweater and popping it open, so I tried one of these. And? And, he said, I must have hooked two dozen cutthroat. A few of them were really big. Finlay never exaggerated the numbers of fish he caught or their size. When he said some of those trout were big, I knew they were the 18 to 22 inch cutthroat that were common in the Kitimat then. I picked a fly from the container. A clump of its brethren came with it. Plucking the fly from the tangle, I placed the clump back in the tin. The fly was tiny and sparsely dressed. That’s it? That’s all there is to it, said Finlay. What’s it called? Syl’s midge. I got it from Nemes’ book. Finlay had ordered a copy of The Soft Hackled Fly, by Sylvester Nemes a few months earlier. He read and reread it. It was the ideal book for a frugal Scot whose own flies were nothing if not austere.

After more than 10 hours on the road, Prince Rupert's Swamp Donkeys were the overall winners of the 2013 Skeena River Relay. The team, competing in the Open Division and captained by Renny Talbot, completed the 140 kilometre, multi-stage race that starts in Prince Rupert and ends at the Kitsumkalum Hall in 10:12:43 to claim the fastest time by more than an hour. In the Corporate Division, Smithers Fire Rescue, captained by Sean Rowell, took

first and the second fastest time overall with 11:14:29. The RTA Running Frenchies of Kitimat finished second at 11:14:47 followed by There are Margaritas at the End! of Smithers finished third with a time of 11:29:16. The Rupert Relics, captained by Sandy Jones, were the only Masters Division team and finished with a time of 13:29:17.

Finlay had succumbed to lung cancer eight months before. Cataracts were growing in my eyes then. In the fading light, I couldn’t tie a Syl’s midge to my three pound tippet. Frustrated but not beaten, I went home and tied short lengths of nylon to half a dozen midges then tied a loop at the end. After that I wound them up and placed the coils in an empty shoe polish tin separating each one with piece of wax paper cut in a circle just smaller than the diameter of the tin. I slipped the tin in my vest anticipating another low light situation when I would then simply connect the loop at the end of the coil to a loop at the end of my leader, a feat much easier then trying to thread a 3 pound test leader through the eye of a tiny fly. As it turned out I didn’t have the opportunity to try out my looped midges until last week when a daytime situation arose when only a midge would do. Did I still have that tin? I patted my vest and felt a circular lump on the inside. I pulled out the tin, twisted the lever and there were Syl’s midges, pristine, sandwiched between waxed paper. I took them out, knotted one on, and caught six trout with it. On the path from the river to my truck, I stopped at Finlay’s cairn. I picked up a twig, clipped the midge from the line, then stuck it in the twig and placed it on one of the rocks jutting from the cairn in lieu of flowers.

Council defers recycling program decision Irwin said Do Your Part had also submitted a plan for curbside recycling but that it would cost too much as well. The committee of the whole meeting was called to go over city plans to divert as much material as possible from its landfill. Councillors also considered a program to increase the collection of household organics, namely lawn and yard trimmings and suitable kitchen organics, noting that as much as 40 per cent of waste now going into the landfill is made up of compostable material. The city now picks up such material from homes each Monday. Councillor Stacey Tyers favoured the idea of an expanded organics program and wanted to know if the $50,000 council

Bike rodeo this Friday THE Terrace RCMP Detachment is organizing a community bike rodeo for this Friday, June 7, from 4 to 7 p.m. This event will take place in the Farmers Market Square, the parking lot beside George Little Park. On hand will be the Terrace RCMP, the Terrace and Thornhill Fire Departments, BC Paramedics, and Search and Rescue Volunteers to interact with the youths. The bike rodeo is a hands-on, interactive day, designed to teach children fundamental biking skills, road safety, and rules of the road. The fire departments will be stamping all bikes with a security number. This is a free event open to youths of all ages. All participants receive a prize bag and a draw ticket for the grand door prize of two brand new bikes. There will also be numerous other door prizes. Sport Chek will be serving hot dogs and refreshments for each participant.

In the end, council deferred any decisions with mayor Dave Pernarowski calling the session “Round One” of a discussion that will continue. One of the challenges facing the city, both Irwin and Schibli told council, is the unknown impact of provincial regulations coming into force next year placing more responsibility on the producers of packaging and printed material to provide for the recycling of the material. How that is going to work and how it is going to be fi-

Councillor Brian Downie said he wants to see a study done to determine what kind of recycling program would work in advance of the coming changes. “Getting something on paper is really what we need,” Downie said. Councillor Lynne Christiansen said she would like to see how much the solution of city worm-composing would cost. Warehousing waste paper products for the next year until the new regulations was also considered, but the cost of the bailer that would be necessary to bundle up the material and arrangements for outside storage was deemed prohibitive.

BCUOMA is a not-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.

ONE DROP MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

BCUOMA is expanding its successful ambassador program this summer – with two teams of ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling. By recycling your used oil and antifreeze products, you’re playing an important role in preserving our environment for future generations.
