Power line cost stuns gov’t
THE PROVINCIAL cabinet minister in charge of BC Hydro says he's going to find out why the Northwest Transmission Line project cost has ballooned to $736 million. “I will be meeting often, quickly, with B.C. Hydro to determine how this happens. Our government does not support this way of managing capital projects, and we will get to the bottom of it,” energy minister Bill Bennett told the legislature June 27 when pressed in Question Period for an explanation. Just last year the project to run a power line 344km north of the
Skeena Substation near Terrace to Bob Quinn on Hwy37 North was pegged at $561 million. That cost was revised to a range of between $561 million and $617 million this spring and then revised again to $736 million in budget documents released yesterday. First estimates in 2007 placed the cost at $404 million, a figure that's been rising steadily since. NDP opposition leader Adrian Dix, in questioning Bennett, wondered why the cost grew so much in the time before the May 14 provincial election to now. “They said it was $561 mil-
lion before the election, and now suddenly, magically, he discovers another $170 million in cost overruns now to tell the people of British Columbia about. Can he give any explanation to ratepayers and taxpayers for this, frankly, outright incompetence on the part of the government?” Dix asked. Bennett said the cost increase wasn't known by the government until after the election, adding he was in “dismay” over the new figure. Despite the cost increase, Bennett defended the transmission line as “nation-building,” saying devel-
opments that will stem from it will create jobs and revenue. “[The] Red Chris mine will employ 350 people. Many of those people will be First Nations people. There'll be Nisga'a. There'll be Tahltan. There'll be other First Nations people. They're excited about this opportunity, and this opportunity does not exist unless we have electricity up that highway,” said Bennett. The energy minister listed off a series of reasons the project cost has kept climbing. He said a slow construction start was blamed on the need to first sign impact benefit
agreements with First Nations affected by the line. “Those economic benefit agreements have been negotiated. The First Nations along the line are actually quite supportive. In fact, First Nations are involved, actually, in the construction of this power line,” added Bennett. “That delayed the start point of the construction, and I'm advised – I'm telling you what B.C. Hydro has told me – that in fact that slow start caused them to put additional resources in at the front end of construction, which ended up costing them more money,” said Bennett.
City gets power to fine landlords

■■ Need wood? Monica Watson, program coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Terrace holds up one of 100 bundles of firewood that will be sold at Furlong by Northwest Escapes Ltd. as a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters.

THE CITY of Terrace has taken on the authority to check on the living conditions of rented dwellings without first informing the landlord and to punish with fines. “We want to ensure that nobody’s in mould, in the cold, without lights,” councillor Bruce Bidgood said as city council formally adopted its Standards of Maintenance for Residential Rental Premises bylaw June 24. “In February a person shouldn’t have to wait weeks to get heat.” The bylaw contains provisions regarding light, heat, refrigeration, ventilation, water supply, as well as services and utilities. Most of the provisions follow a template provided by the province, however one is uniquely tailored to Terrace, enforcing ventilation standards to reduce mould—a rule to “maintain the building envelope to prevent the accumulation of moisture in the walls or drafts through the wall system.” Heat must be maintained at a minimum temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, and hot water in a rental unit at a minimum temperature of 45 degrees Celsius, and taps and toilets must always have running water. A second bylaw passed first, second and third readings on June 24 and will change several city ticketing rules, giving both the city bylaw officer and building
inspectors the power to fine landlords for not maintaining proper living standards. The bylaw raises city fine limits from $25 to $100. In the case of maintenance standards violations, landlords can be penalized for up to $2,000, with a maximum of $100 maximum per day, per problem. Councillor Stacey Tyers said she was excited to see the bylaw passed. “It gives tenants another avenue if the landlord is grossly ignoring the quality and conditions of the unit,” said Tyers, a poverty law advocate for Terrace and District Community Services Society. “What is really shocking is how few cities have standard housing bylaws,” she said. While most council members supported the recommended bylaw, there was discussion over the rights of landlords to know when their buildings are being inspected. “I’m suggesting that a simple phone call to the landlord or the landlord’s representative would avoid some confusion down the road ... there should be some contact with the landlord because they have rights too,” said councillor Brian Downie. City development services director David Block said there would be communication before a fine or strongly worded letter was issued to a landlord.

Panel now writing CONGRATULATIONS Enbridge report Caledonia Secondary School Class of 2013 THE federal joint review hearings into the Enbridge Northern Gateway project wrapped up for good early June 24 but not before a few heated moments. Art Sterritt from Coastal First Nations accused the panel of allowing presenters who supported the project more leniency with the rules of conduct. And Enbridge representative Richard Neufeld spoke sharply against the opinions presented by the Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL) and MP Nathan Cullen who Neufeld said downplayed the importance of the projected 62,000 person years of temporary labour that would be created during the pipeline construction phase. Neufeld also said that the AFL’s statement that only 300 permanent jobs would be created downplayed the benefit of the employment created during the construction phase.
The review process spanned 18 months and saw 1,200 oral statements made by individuals, and the involvement of 215 intervenors representing individuals and groups. The panel now has until the end of 2013 to prepare its final report to present to the fed-
eral government who will then make the final decision whether to approve the project and on what conditions. It took five-and-ahalf of the allotted 10 days to finish up in Terrace, with the concluding statements made in the early afternoon of June 24.

Survivors speak out By AMARA JANSSENS TEARS WERE shed at the Kitsumkalum Community Hall last week as two days of Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) community hearings took place. Survivors from across the northwest spoke June 25-26 of their experiences of abuse while living in residential schools as children, as well as the generational impacts. More than 30 people came forward to share their experiences before the commission which was established by the federal government in 2009. Dozens more were present to bear witness to the public hearings. Each speaker was allowed 15 minutes. “There is no public record unless we create one,” Commissioner Marie Wilson said in stating the purpose of the hearings. She said the survivors stories are missing from this part of Canada’s history as letters from the children wrote were censored. This process ensures their stories are now heard and that Canada can never deny this having happened in our country, she said. One survivor said at eight or nine years old,
she would be given a yellow pill at night, that would make her sleep. She recalls many times waking up sore, but as a child did not understand why. “They’d get me in a daze so I wouldn’t tell on them,” she said sobbing. Lorna Brown travelled from Hazelton to share her story. In 1947, Brown was six years old when she and her sister were sent to a residential school in Port Alberni. Having never been on a trip and having never gone to school, Brown initially found the idea exciting, but says as soon as she arrived she wanted to go home. “Physical, mental, sexual abuse, I went through. That’s why I have a hard time talking about residential schools,” she explained. Brown described seeing boys dragging large, lumpy, cloth bags behind them. She was not allowed to ask questions about what she saw, but later in life realized the boys were burying fellow students. This week was Brown’s first time speaking publicly about her experience. When she later became a counsellor, Brown started using a lot of what she learned to help heal both her clients and

Woman killed
The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of the woman who died at the scene of a fatal car accident on the Nisga’a Hwy June 27. She was Helen Grimstead, 74, of Rosswood. “An elderly couple traveling north on Highway 113 in a 2000 Ford pickup, lost control leaving the road and landing upside down in the northbound ditch,” reads an RCMP release. The incident happened about 11km north of Terrace, around 9:30 p.m. June 27. She was the front-seat passenger. “The 78-year-old male driver was transported to Mills Memorial Hospital after being extricated by Terrace Fire and Rescue,” reads the release. “He was later transported by air ambulance to Vancouver General Hospital.”

Canada’s last residential school closed in 1996, and for over a century more than 150,000 First Nations, Metis and Inuit children were placed in approximately 130 schools. Three people have been appointed commissioners, holding hearings across Canada.

Austin looks to link up with Chamber By JOSH MASSEY Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin, recently re-elected for his third term in office, made his first appearance in six years at a Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce luncheon last Thursday afternoon to give an address. Despite their “philosophical and political differences” Austin said he will be happy to work more closely with the Chamber in his
new role as the opposition critic for the newly created natural gas ministry. In particular Austin hopes to forge a revenue sharing agreement that will bring a cut of LNG profits to the Northwest to boost community development. “The good news is that there are people on both sides of the aisle in support of this,” Austin told the Chamber members. “I am speaking to you because you have strong
connections with the B.C. Liberal Party.” Austin said that the Terrace region needs seize the moment like other areas in B.C. In particular he cited the Kootenays and Peace River districts as setting an example as to how profit sharing deals can be forged between the province and municipalities. The Kootenays receives a cut of profits generated by hydro projects in that area, Austin said, and the
Peace River district gets a healthy cut of oil and gas profits through their Fare Share program. Austin referred to a recent revenue sharing report by the City of Terrace. He said he believes the report will be useful, though he would like to see First Nations claims put in there as well. The report highlights how in 2011/2012 Dawson Creek, a town in the Peace River district of al-
most identical size to Terrace, received $13,443,219 in transfer payments from the provincial government while Terrace only received $3,654,208. The report highlights this inequality and also shows stats that place the northwest at the very bottom in terms of poverty and health issues, all reasons why the region could benefit from a share of the wealth created by new industry coming to the region.
Airport seeks 20-year plan By AMARA JANSSENS The Northwest Regional Airport has hired AirBiz, an Australian consulting company to help the airport develop a 20-year plan and vision. The company will consult with user groups, owners, stakeholders, and staff to determine the airports long-term plan. Both long-term and short-term visitor parking, coordination of aircraft, choke-points for pedestrian traffic, and overall flows of all airport traffic will be analyzed with the best plans put forward. AirBiz will have until January 2014 to present their report of what the vision of the airport should be for the next two decades. Northwest Regional Airport manager Carman Hendry said the holding room will be expanded as part of this project. The airport currently accommodates 120 passengers in the hold room at one time. With increased flight traffic expected, the airport will need to expand this, along with the arrival area and baggage screening area. “[The baggage screening area] will be at least double in size,” Hendry said. Hendry hopes to see better logistical control on the apron, as he explained a new layout of the tarmac is needed. “If we don't come up with a different plan it will be congested,” Hendry explained. The airport is confident the next 10 years will see an increase in airport traffic as the economy continues to grow. However, for the 20-year plan, they want to ensure the plan is a living document that can be adjusted in the event of economic downturn.

Businesses honoured at awards ceremony By AMARA JANSSENS On June 18, 2013, the Provincial Networking Group Inc (PNGI), held an awards ceremony and lunch at the Skeena Valley Golf Course. PNGI is a private organization which has helped 50 individuals with disabilities find 43 jobs during the last four years. “Last year we actually exceeded our employment targets by 22 per cent,” said Chris Arnold, clinical director with PNGI.
PNGI works to create individualized paid jobs for working aged people in the community of Terrace who are diagnosed with a disability. Instead of employees applying to specific job positions posted, PNGI works with the individuals to create work proposals. These positions are typically short-term and for very specific tasks. Organizations have found that these job placements have proved to be beyond beneficial, and often request employees to return after
their work placement has finished. Arnold emphasized PNGI's success saying the organization has had “great reception from local employers.” Tuesday's awards ceremony was to recognize both the employers who have supported individuals in the program, as well as the employees themselves, specifically the long term employees. A highlight of the awards ceremony was the recognition of Mark Bain, a long time employee with PNGI. For the majority of the past
17 years, Bain has worked in the confidential paper shredding service department. Additionally, Jennifer Ansems was recognized twice for her long term employment for working the last 10 years at Tim Hortons and the past 13 years at Scotiabank. Employee awards included a pin, and certificate stating the number of years they have been employed. A handful of Terrace employers were recognized, including J&F Distributors, Boston Pizza,
My Fitness Centre, Totem Ford, Walmart, Safeway, Premium Truck & Trailer, The Brick, Northern Savings, Chill, Blackstone's, and Father Terry. My Fitness Centre was recognized with the Cool Accommodation Award, for their commitment to employing an individual who lived out of town with a car. The individual's hours were arranged around the bus schedule, as well as carpooling with another employee on Sundays' when the bus doesn't run.

Promise of LNG developments lure helicopter companies to the northwest By JOSH MASSEY For a growing number of helicopter companies from B.C. and beyond, the promise of billions of dollar in liquefied natural gas (LNG) developments isn’t merely a pie in the sky, it is fast becoming a big source of revenue. With pre-construction work on proposed LNG projects joining other resource developments, the sky above Terrace has been churning with helicopters operated by companies both familiar and new to the region. “Any helicopter operator in Western Canada would be considering the Terrace region,” said John Buckland, an operations manager from Great Slave Helicopters which has its home office in Yellowknife. Recent arrivals include Highland from Vancouver, Summit from Yellowknife and Mustang from Alberta. They’re lining up with established companies already here such as Quantum, Lakelse Air, White River and the large international company, Canadian Helicopters, which has just finished building a new hangar at Northwest Regional Airport. Then there are hopefuls like the mediumsized company Transwest from Oliver B.C. who already have two aircraft committed to a new Terrace operation. Vancouver-based Helijet is also exploring the potential of the region. Specialty companies are also needed for heavy lift jobs such as the construction of the Northwest Transmission Line. A deal to bring in a gigantic six bladed, twin-piloted 4,000 horsepower lifting machine called a Skycrane was recently struck between main power line contractor Valard and Erickson Air-Crane for the transportation of towers to remote locations. The American helicopter company Winco will also likely be hired to lay cable from tower to tower – a high-risk, niche skill. With the race on to sell LNG to hungry Asian markets, several pipeline projects – Pacific Trails and Coastal GasLink to feed plants at Kitimat and Spectra to supply a plant at Prince Rupert – have been hiring companies for work in the area. The projects are at different stages of development. Right-of-way clearing has started on some projects while other routes are being assessed. All need to get people and supplies to remote locations which means hundreds of hours of air time at rates of $1,100 to $3,000 an hour. But as the number of helicopter companies here grows, several local operators feel they are getting elbowed out of the way. Terrace-based helicopter company White River celebrated 20 years of business in the region this year. Its credentials include lengthy coastal flying experience and aboriginal ownership which owner Sid Peltier and others in the business say is valued by large industrial companies. While White River is doing swift business in the growing mining business, Peltier says oil and gas companies remain cool to his advances. “They don’t even bother to give you the time of day,” Peltier said of efforts to contact pipeline companies. “I’ve been trying Enbridge for seven years,” he continues, adding that Spectra doesn’t seem interested either. Peltier’s worried that local companies may miss out on the LNG wave because oil and gas companies, mainly based in Alberta, have established relationships with out-of-

region helicopter companies. The local outfits argue they are better equipped and have more experience to handle the region’s unique terrain and flying conditions. Craig Roy, owner of North Coast Heli and local pilot-for-hire said that it isn’t hard to feel left out when out-of-town pilots lift off regularly from the Northwest Regional Airport while he wakes up in Prince Albert to do jobs hundreds of kilometres from home. He says helicopter experience needs to be area-specific and that 15 years local flying makes him better suited for work here compared to out-of-region pilots who rotate in and out of Terrace. “A pilot who has spent his career flying a traffic helicopter and then one day begins flying heli-skiers into the mountains can be compared to a general practitioner suddenly performing open heart surgery,” Roy said. For its part, Canadian Helicopters says their pilots train for mountain experience at a cutting edge mountain facility in Penticton. Roy makes the argument that a short training program can never replace decades of experience learning local terrain. “The [larger] helicopter companies are making really good money ... they are employing the pilots very cheaply because they are coming up here to gain experience,” Roy said. “It’s just a matter of time before they have another accident because there is no experience coming.” What new arrivals have going for them are safety and certification credentials required by oil and gas companies and the contractors they employ. Certification standards like ISNetworld and ENFORM offer what amounts to a screening of aviation companies, though Peltier and others charge that these additional audits are expensive and time-consuming – a cash grab by their sponsoring agencies
trying to milk oil money. According to Peltier, federal regulator Transport Canada has its own auditing system that’s just as rigorous. And if oil and gas companies can’t guarantee work should Peltier acquire those other certifications, he’d rather not take on that financial burden. “What we need from them is an approval that says okay, if you get your approval and we audit you and you are successful we will fly with you. But we are not given that opportunity because they are bringing in contractors that have been pre-approved from previous times.” Another local company, Quantum Helicopters, has put in the time and made the additional certification investment and is now waiting for a response from the oil-and-gas industry. “It’s kind of a Catch 22,” says Quantum owner Ian Swan said. “You can’t get the work without the audit and you can’t get the audit without having the work. With the employee wages involved we have spent $100,000 getting these certifications that these corporations need and we’ve received absolutely zero.” Pipeline construction company TransCanada has been selected to build two pipelines carrying natural gas to the coast from the northeast. One is the Pacific Trails Pipeline bound for Kitimat and the other is the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project to carry gas to a planned LNG plant near Prince Rupert. Company official Janis Andersson says all companies working for TransCanada must pass a “third party audit” in order to qualify for contracts. A larger local company like Lakelse Air is more optimistic but does express some uncertainty about how they will fit into the LNG mix. “I think we have been really proactive in
our systems and the direction we knew this was coming for a long time,” said Lakelse Air operations manager James Carr who has 16 years of flight experience. “I think we may be a little behind the curve but I think we will be fine.” Carr admits that it might be tougher for smaller companies. “There are some smaller companies in town that probably aren’t going to get a kick at a lot of this work because they don’t have what they need to do the job,” Carr said. Some companies may be limited by their fleet size. Larger companies, for example, may have dual engine and mid- to heavy-lift helicopters on hand, a requirement for many pipeline projects. However Roy argues that any company can bring in the right helicopters if awarded a contract. Craig Kendal from Canadian believes there will be plenty of work regardless of whether a company has mid to heavy lift capacity. Companies that do more light lift work will be able to collaborate with companies who specialize in mid- to heavy-lift operations, he said. Spectra media representative Rosemary Silva said there will continue to be work available in pre-construction (engineering reconnaissance flights and environmental field studies), during construction (transporting material and workers) and in the post-construction phases (to support ongoing operation and maintenance). “Spectra Energy is committed to identifying and creating opportunities for local and aboriginal contractors, businesses, and workers across our business,” Silva said in an email. “Our ongoing goal is for communities to share in the benefits of our projects across our operating areas.” Peltier said he still isn’t convinced.

Off track THERE was a time in this fair land when the railway did not run. Except now, with apologies to Gordon Lightfoot, it does – smack through the middle of town. Or, if you are CN, Terrace chose to build itself up on either side of the tracks so whatever happens, it can’t be its fault. Now add in the provincial government’s Hwy16 which also divides the city, including the choke point double dogleg Sande Overpass, and you have a transportation nightmare caused by a set of historical unintended consequences. Long term, as the city has pointed out for years, the solution is a second overpass. Where and what shape is first an engineering puzzle and then an economic one as in who pays. Short term, as the city points out (with CN agreeing), is a set of lights at the Frank St. intersection of Hwy16 timed with CN’s own lights where its tracks cross Frank. That way, when a train approaches, the highway lights will stop highway traffic allowing Frank St. traffic to clear the tracks and proceed safely onto Hwy16 before CN’s gates come down. This is how it’s done at the Kenney St. level rail crossing so rocket science it is not. A Frank St. solution would not be perfect. But it would buy time to work on the far more complicated second overpass. All that it takes is leadership and good will by all parties. Can that be too much to request? ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI “Good work, dear, but when you signed on as a recruit, Regina didn’t say you’d be dispensing legal advice or counselling teenagers. They only said you might flip hamburgers for charity drives.” “I also didn’t expect to be another Nanny Jo Frost lecturing a 5-year-old on why he should buckle up, play Dr. Phil to parents at wit’s end with their repeat teen runaways, be Dr. Drew to foster parents charged with the care of disrespectful teens, referee fisticuffs between battling drunks, separate hair-pulling cousins, or operate an unlicensed taxi service deliver-

But such irregular duties are far from unique. In truth, the force has a history of assigning duties not listed in their job descriptions.

Training, room and board, and a snappy uniform are all taxpayer funded, bringing the training within the financial grasp of any academically qualified individual with an unblemished legal history. At the end of the training, the recruit will have sampled and received at least introductory training in a dozen or more lines of work including law, education, public relations, peer counselling, first aid and CPR, fast food cooking, report writing, defensive driving and standing tall. By then, the recruit can confidently select a life’s work, tie a tie and look the world in the eye. Claudette Sandecki’s on duty in Thornhill, B.C.

The Mail Bag Fracking harms water supply
josh massey PHOTO
carl kottmeier from Fortune Minerals speaks with Tahltan Central Council president Annita McPhee and Shannon MacPhail, executive director of the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition during Minerals North 2013 in Terrace. Fortune’s plans to develop a coal mine in the Klappan, also called the Sacred Headwaters, are opposed by the Tahltan.
Who would give this up? Dear Sir: This in reply to Gord Loverin’s column, “Don’t judge a mine on emotion disinformation” in the May 8, 2013 issue of The Terrace Standard. I am the eldest daughter of Charles Quock from the Tahltan Nation. My place of birth
is in the wilderness of Spatsizi at our winter campsite in Hyland Post. Each early spring we move to our summer home at Cold Fish Lake. We depended on the land for our survival, therefore I was taught as a young child to respect and take care of
our environment and to live in harmony with our place. The Klappan Plateau is revered by the Tahltan people because our food supplies are there and for hundred years it help us to survive. The old, old campsite are still there. Each individual place are recognized by
markers and there are many. The Klappan Plateau is the birthplace of the three rivers – the Stikine, Skeena and Nass and are nestled closely within the Valley. The Tahltans, Gitxan Wet’suwetein and Nisga’a all depends on the mighty rivers to survive.
Each summer my family spend time in Klappan to get our food and I am inspired by the peaceful time. I love the glacial fed creek and spring water cold and sparkling. Why then do I want to drink filtered water by coal. Ella Quock, Terrace B.C.
Dear Sir: Geoff Morrison of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers writes in the June 5, 2013 The Terrace Standard that, “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 ...” A Duke University study of the impact of hydraulic fracking on drinking water was released in May, 2011. “In aquifers overlying the Marcellus and Utica shale formations of northeastern Pennsylvania and upstate New York, we document systematic evidence for methane contamination of drinking water associated with shale gas extraction. In active gas-extraction areas (one or more gas wells within 1 km), average and maximum methane concentrations in drinking-water wells increased with proximity to the nearest gas well and were 19.2 and 64 mg CH4 L−1 (n¼ 26), a potential explosion hazard....” American industry is also aware of the problems of leaking wells: The Tyee reports, “According to Schlumberger, the world’s largest oilfield company, there are problems galore. In 2003, the company reported that 43 per cent of 6,692 offshore wells tested in the Gulf of Mexico by U.S. regulators were found to be leaking.” And Jessica Ernst who lives just east of Calgary is suing Encana and the Alberta Regulatory Board for $33 million, claiming there’s enough methane in her water from fracking that she can ignite it. Not only does Mr. Morrison’s letter ignore these facts, it focusses exclusively on the money and jobs to be had by selling off our natural gas. He does absolutely nothing to address the concerns many BCers, not just those in the Kispiox Valley, have about the environmental impact of running seven proposed pipelines down sensitive river valleys and of increasing tanker traffic down our coastline, never mind the threat fracking poses to groundwater. Andrew Williams, Terrace, B.C.
Global economics will define B.C.’s prosperity
T
aking up where we left off last week, what are the Americans doing that could upset British Columbia’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) cart? Let’s first make clear that at this point the fly in the ointment is just one US project, Cheniere’s Sabine Pass LNG export complex in Louisiana. It will be producing 9 million tonnes of LNG a year by 2016 – that’s not pie in the sky, you can take that the bank – and plans to ultimately boost production to 27 million tonnes. And it already has 20-year contracts with five major customers to take up two-thirds of the eventual capacity. That’s in stark contrast to Kitimat LNG, owned by Apache and Chevron, which is still trying to sign just one contract. Cheniere calculates that based on a price of US$4 per million British Thermal Units at Henry Hub, the US benchmark for natural gas, it can deliver LNG to Asia
at around $10.50 per mBTUs. And it has been signing deals based on Henry Hub. Janine McArdle, senior vice president of gas monetisation for Apache, has already made it clear that Kitimat LNG is a non-starter with prices based on the US benchmark. So how is it that Cheniere can live with prices that Apache/ Chevron cannot entertain? They are very different animals. Sabine Pass is what’s called a brown field project. It was originally built as an LNG import facility back in the days when imported natural gas was competitive with domestic US supply. So, at the risk of oversimplification, all it has had to do is convert to export. Unlike every green field project being talked about here in the Northwest, it doesn’t have to build a pipeline, a tank farm, a plant or a terminal. It even already has two tugs to guide the LNG tankers in and out.
GUEST COMMENT
MALCOLM BAXTER In other words its capital costs are a fraction of those of proposals such as Kitimat LNG. Ipso facto, it can make the finances work at Henry Hub pricing. But despite all of the above, there is no need for us to throw up our hands and give up on LNG in northwestern BC. While the projected Sabine Pass production of 27 million
tonnes a year is a lot – it’s more than the projected production of the Kitimat LNG and the Shell group’s Canada LNG plants put together – you need to stack that up against the total of Japanese LNG imports last year of more than 80 million tonnes. Add in South Korea, India, Pakistan, Europe et al and demand for the foreseeable future will be way more than the likes of Sabine Pass can fill. So I think it unlikely that oillinked LNG contracts are going to vanish any time soon and therefore there should still be ample room for a couple of Northwest projects to proceed. However, the US fly in the ointment has introduced an unwelcome wrinkle that has obviously delayed sales agreements as buyers understandably jockey for the best price they can get. Now, to return to what I said last week about not envying Rich Coleman his job as BC’s new Minister of Natural Gas Development.
As I mentioned then, premier Christy Clark said his task was “ensure British Columbia seizes the economic opportunity of a lifetime, liquefied natural gas (etc., etc.).” The word “ensure” is silly in that it continues the pretence that the province has any influence over whether these projects go ahead. As I have outlined in these two columns, there are many factors and trust me, there are more than I have had space to cover - that are completely beyond the control of the province. With the Canadian Football League season about to start, allow me the following: the province will be the pom-pom waving cheerleader on the sidelines but only the global economics quarterback can throw the touchdown pass. And I remain hopeful he will. Malcolm Baxter is a retired editor of The Northern Sentinel in Kitimat and now calls Terrace home.

THE MODERNIZATION of Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitmat aluminum smelter is on time and is scheduled to be completed the end of 2014. It is costing approximately $3.3 billion.
S A M T S I R CH IN
Retirements ease worries about layoffs at Rio Tinto By CAMERON ORR RIO TINTO ALCAN vice president Paul Henning says his commitment to not reduce Rio Tinto Alcan’s workforce at its Kitimat aluminum smelter through layoffs has held. Speaking last week, Paul Henning said the commitment has not been easy to keep but that retirements and early retirements are helping to cut the payroll from 1,500 to around 1,000. That’s the number the company needs to run its smelter when a $3.3 billion rebuild project is finished. “Credit to the operations folks, management and the union to make sure that is the
case,” he said, speaking from Vancouver. Henning provided an update on modernization, saying that work is at least 50 per cent completed on the project, perhaps close to 60 per cent. He said the schedule remains effectively the same. The new plant will begin being energized by the end of 2014, and full production will ramp up in the early parts of 2015. He explained it’s a normal procedure, as an aluminum smelter doesn’t start up as easily as a sawmill would. “It’s not like starting a sawmill or a paper mill. It doesn’t all come on. We have 384 individual electrolysis cells that will be started
up in sequence at a rate of anywhere between five and 15 a week, so it takes time,” he said. Speaking on the spending slowdown which Rio Tinto announced late last year, he said while spending slowed, construction didn’t, and a mild winter benefited the project in some ways. “In some regards we probably accelerated certain elements of the physical construction,” he said, partly through the lack of snow. Right now there are about 1,200 workers on the project, with 1,000 of those living in the camp. He said 300 people working on the project but not in the camp come from the Kitimat and Terrace area.
“This is by far a Canadian worker-driven project,” he said, saying many other workers are from Canada, mostly from B.C. He didn’t specifically say how many were temporary foreign workers from the United States. As for the ongoing issue of increased sulphur dioxide (SO2) levels at the new plant, he said that the company did receive their amended environmental permit, but an appeal process has been initiated. He repeated earlier statements from others that while SO2 is increasing about 56 per cent overall, the per tonne emissions are remaining the same from
the old smelter, and the increase of 27 tonnes a day to 42 is a factor of higher production. With last year’s signing of a new labour agreement with the CAW 2301 union, he said they’ll be set in that regard to 2017. He said that the rest of 2013, on the operations side, will be finding workers their new roles in the new smelter, and then in 2015 will be pushing hard on new training. “That’s tight,” he said of the timeline. “It’s a challenge because you can’t go too early because we still have the old plant to run...can’t go too early because those people would be trained but not have the new plant to use the new skills on.”
Businesses push for overpass By JOSH MASSEY “I HAVE no PDFs, I have no PowerPoint, so all you get is a cranky Irishman.” So began an impassioned plea to city council by local businessman Steve Smyth June 24 before he presented a petition asking the city to act fast and reopen the recently closed Frank St. level rail crossing. At one point Smyth said he had forklift operators ready to move the current parking blocks. “We can’t condone that kind of activity,” said councillor Bruce Bidgood in response. One of just three possible passages over CN’s rail tracks which divide the city, the
Frank St. closure June 11 is causing a congestion on the Sande Overpass as well as at the other level crossing at Kenney St. Smyth said traffic has been backed up all the way to Keith on Kenney, and that transport vehicles have to swing into oncoming traffic to make a right turn there or else drive their trailer onto the sidewalk. Transport Canada ordered CN to block vehicles from using the Frank St. crossing after two recent incidents in which transport trucks were nearly hit by trains. Smyth was backed by 16 audience members – business and residential property owners from the West Keith
neighbourhood in south Terrace – in presenting the petition. “We need your help to get traffic flowing freely through our business area and our residential area again. West Keith is proving to be the industrial and heavy commercial heart in the city,” said Smyth. “There is some significant investment finally after years of living and working in a dust bowl.” Smyth cited the inconvenience to clients transporting goods over the remaining rail crossings, saying that long transport vehicles have been stuck for up to an hour at the three-way stop on the south side of the overpass, some of them taking back routes through residen-
tial areas to access the overpass from the other direction. “You are absolutely right. We have a crisis,” councillor Marylin Davies, who was acting mayor in David Pernarowki’s absence, said immediately in response to Smyth. Chief administrative officer Heather Avison said the city had acted immediately when in-
formed of the closure and has asked for a meeting with the provincial transportation minister. Smyth said this move would certainly be a help to people who live on Braun, Keith, or Frank, but that an overpass would be a better solution to address the industrial traffic which will still have to take a detour.

Kids in Control Program designed to teach kids how to cope with a parent suffering from mental illness
ROD LINK PHOTO
■■ Bien sur! jesse longpre scarfs down a bowl of poutine, placing first in the St. Jean Baptiste Day contest held at Heritage Park June 26 to see who could finish the combination of french fries, cheese curd, and gravy the fastest. Events hosted by the Association des francophones et francophiles du Nord-Ouest with the cooperation and assistance of Heritage Park drew several hundred people out on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
A PROGRAM to help children learn to cope with a mentally ill parent has come to our region for the first time and parents are invited to sign up their children Kids in Control gives children confidence and the understanding that their parent’s illness isn’t their fault and the knowledge that they can control some things in their lives. The free education and support program is looking for six to eight children between the ages of eight and 12 who have a parent with mental illness to meet for 1.5 hours once a week for eight weeks. The program is looking to fill the spaces it has and so far, there are only four children signed up to participate, says Dolly Hall of the local chapter of the BC Schizophrenia Society that’s hosting the program. “Either word’s not getting out or people don’t know what it is,” she says about why more children haven’t been signed up. Or it could be the stigma about mental illness or the fear that child protective services may get involved in the family’s life if it’s known there’s mental illness in the family, she adds. Children with a parent with mental illness, which Hall prefers to call brain illness in an attempt to clear away the stigma, experience a loss of a normal parent, a normal home, and a normal childhood. “What we consider normal I guess,” she says. Since the stigma around men-
tal illness continues to be in society, children also lose out on having friends home for sleepovers, she says. “Kids blame themselves and feel responsible,” she says about how children feel about their parent’s mental illness and other fears they shouldn’t have to face, such as being separated from their parent if hospitalized. Substance abuse and divorce can also add to the problem. “While those happen without brain illness, they tend to be confounded in families with brain illness,” says Hall. “Kids depend on their parents so coming to Kids in Control shows them what aspects of their lives they can control,” she says. The message they get from the program is they’re not alone and their situation is normalized because there are lots of other kids in the same situation and it gives them a connectedness to other kids dealing with similar situations, she explains. There’s a choice of activities to do in the program, and they learn healthy communication skills, self-care, gain self-esteem, learn resiliency and it helps them learn coping skills, she says. Plus they learn about brain illnesses, she adds. Comments from children who have taken the course say it makes their parent’s illness not seem as bad, that living with the facts is better than living with the unknown and learning to deal with the stigma has been helpful.
One child was convinced that his father’s illness was his fault and he couldn’t be convinced otherwise. When he took the program, he was able to understand he wasn’t the cause of his dad’s illness. “I consistently use the term ‘brain illness to change it from mental illness,” says Hall, adding she thinks that a lot of the stigma is because of the terminology used. “I think general population hears that word and it’s airy fairy. What is mental illness? But if you hear brain illness, it attaches it to an organ and gives it more credibility.” Hall and colleague Noreen Spence will facilitate the program. “I grew up with a mother who was depressed so I kind of know what it’s like,” says Hall. They can share their personal experiences but they will be inviting professional people to come so the children can connect with them and they can answer any questions Hall and Spence can’t. Once enough children are registered for the program, the schedule will be figured out so it can be 10 consecutive weeks and work around the parents’ and children’s schedules. Some of the legacies of being a child of a parent with a brain illness can include difficulties with intimacy and setting boundaries, lost dreams, and resentment leading to family loss and depression.
Long lost movie celebrates northern health By ANNA KILLEN Tucked on an unassuming shelf at the Northern Health Unit office complex on Kalum, lay a series of scrapbooks filled with clippings and photographs of the health unit’s past. One of those news clippings is from 1945, and it’s about a movie detailing the trials and triumphs of public health in the northwest. When Dr. David Bowering, Northern Health’s chief medical officer, first saw this clipping in the ‘90s, he immediately tried to track down a copy of the film, and eventually succeeded in finding one, albeit without the narration. One thing lead to another, and that copy was lost, but luckily researcher and nurse Carol Harrison had just finished writing her book
on northwest public health nurses, a book which caught the attention of the nephew of the doctor, Dr. Knipe, who is featured in the film. That nephew not only sent copies of the film – still without the original narration and backed by what Harrison describes as “real crashing music” – but put Harrison in touch with Dr. Knipe’s son and daughter, who were interested in their father’s history, and wanted to narrate the film. So Harrison sent them the original transcripts and they put the film together from afar, and sent it back here, to Terrace. “She lives in Geneva and he lives in New York but they managed somehow to put it together,” said Harrison. “One of the really interesting things about it is that Mary, the daughter, is in the film. She is a
baby, a newborn baby, and the public health nurse is visiting her.” “It’s come into a really nice full circle,” added Bowering. “The family has given us permission to have this and to make copies, so we’re going to encourage people to take a look at it.” Both Harrison and Bowering are thrilled with the turn of events, and stress that this film is an important part of the northwest’s medical history. Prince Rupert, where the film is set, had the first health unit in the north. “That’s one reason he made the film,” said Harrison. “They took it on the road to Prince George, and Prince George was considering having a health unit of their own, and so the film was to help them.”

High River gets help from here By AMARA JANSSENS The Salvation Army’s mobile kitchen travelled from Terrace to High River, Alberta last week to help with flood relief measures. Last Wednesday, city councillor Brian Downie and Lolita Dunham, were sent to High River where the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) was set up. The EOC is the central command centre for all emergency relief workers, including police officers and volunteers. “We’re quite aways away, no one is getting back into High River,” Downie said Friday morning. Downie and Dunham prepared dinners for the emergency workers at the EOC for close to a week. Downie said the Salvation Army asked the pair to go to High River because the size of their vehicle allows them to not only travel easier, but is also capable of preparing quite a lot of food, adding there aren’t other food options near to EOC. “[They are] really working long hours,” Downie said of the emergency responders. Dunham, a retired cook at Terraceview Lodge made the menus for dinner, which in-
cluded sweet and sour chicken and pasta. “Lolita, excellent cook,” Downie said. Downie said that although he has not personally seen a lot of flooding he did say “there’s lots of damage for sure.” The Salvation Army in Terrace said they got the call on Sunday, June 23 and Downie and Dunham made it to Calgary on June 25 before
heading to the EOC. High River has suffered the brute of the Southern Alberta Flooding, as much of the town remained under water at the end of last week. The town’s 13,000 residents were evacuated and only some were able to return home on the weekend. “We understand this is one of the largest Canadian disasters,” Downie said.

Film shows what it was like in ‘40s In the 30-minute film, the audience sees Prince Rupert and the industries that were dominant in the port city at that time – lumber and cannon and ship building. There’s a trip to the public health unit and a visit to the hospital with the public health nurse, who the audience then follows to a wartime house to see her supervise the bathing of a new baby before she heads to the Conrad St. School. The sanitary inspector goes to a restaurant, country dairy, and the chlorinating plant. Then, to the lab and x-ray office. “The natural environment is still familiar,” said Bowering. “There’s lots of logging stuff going on. But the health system, all of our staff wore uniforms, in an almost sort of paramilitary look. Old, WW2 Annex-type buildings. So I’m blown away by that.” The themes explored in the film are issues that public health is still addressing now – nutrition, food safety, prevention. “I was born in ‘46 so this was actually produced the year before I was even born,” he said. “So if I think I’ve actually invented any of these issues or that they’re new, they’ve been around for longer than I have.” And the film will be helpful for younger staff to see that public health has deep roots, especially in the north. “I love this part of the world, the northwest,” said Bowering. “And just to see how deeply embedded this public health practice is in this area, I just love it. I’m hoping that some of our younger staff can pick up on this because a lot of them have no idea, they think that public health is something relatively recent.”

Northmen trounce PG The Terrace Northmen rugby club showed the Prince George Gnats whose house they were in, with a feisty 29-14 win on Saturday, June 22 here in Terrace at the Northwest Community College field. The Gnats, playing with a smaller sized squad that was about half the number of the 30-plus Northmen on the field, were down 24-0 at the half, but picked up in the second to close the gap. “It was a good team win,” said Northmen Jarryd Kurisu. “We were able to get everybody into play. It brought the team together in a way that I think will help benefit the team going forward.” The first official Division 3 home game was an aggressive one, with yellow and red cards thrown at them, something Kurisu said is a rarity for the team. “Since I’ve been playing up here I don’t think I’ve ever seen a yellow card dished out to the Northmen,” he said. “There were definitely some temper flares that ended up calming down from the second half.” This rivalry with Prince George is new, and a sign that Terrace’s years of work building up the club are paying off. “We don’t traditionally have a rivalry with Prince George, it’s one that’s kind of developed as we’ve gotten more competitive in the last year or two and been able to come up to that level of play,” he said.

The June 22 rugby match between the Terrace Northmen and the Prince George Gnats was an agressive affair that the Northmen ended up winning 29-14. This puts the Northmen 1-01 for the season. Next up the team is hosting Prince Rupert Seamen, a combined Prince Rupert and Smithers team, is here this Saturday, July 6 at 6 p.m. at the college field. The Northmen’s first exhibition match against the Seamen, over Seafest weekend, was a
gruelling affair that the Northmen ended up winning 5-0. “I think they’re training harder,” said Kurisu. “They’re working harder to better themselves, the same way we were.” The Northmen are part of the Northern Rugby League along with the Prince George Gnats, the Williams Lake Rustlers, and
the mixed Prince Rupert/Smithers team. League play consists of all of the teams playing one home and one away game against each other and the best record will represent the North at the Saratoga Cup, Division 3 Provincials in Penticton this September.

Fall run to take a year off Runners in Terrace were taken aback last month with an announcement on the All Seasons Source for Sports Facebook page stating that the Fall Run would be cancelled. But now organizer Bob Park says it’s just on hiatus, and will be back next year. “After 34 years we decided to take a break, mainly because of lack of volunteers,” he said. A number of his 20-plus-year volunteers decided to retire this year, and he couldn’t find anyone to take their place. But since then, he’s had a number of people approach him offering to help, so the run will be back next year. The evenet, featuring 5k, 10k, and 25k races, has a strong history in Terrace, starting in the library basement 34 years ago. It’s since moved to the college and has been very rewarding, he said. “There was one a few years ago where we had the whole Nass schools come down, and we had a record race that year. We had well over 180 people, and that was phenomenal to see that kind of participation,” he said. “And there’s people like Sue Simpson who have won it many times. Colin Parr is another one. It’s got lots of history with it, so it’s been kind of cool.” But more volunteers of the younger generation are needed to keep events like this going, he said. “I think it’s today world, it’s in burnout,” he said, noting that people want to run, but don’t always want to help.
Terrace motocrossers making their mark Motocross season is in full gear, and Terrace motocross racers have a number of events under their belt heading into their home BC Motocross (BCMA) sanctioned race July 20 and 21. Following a fun race in Smithers in late-May, nearly 10 Terrace Motocross Association (TMXA) riders travelled to Prince George’s Blackwater track June 2 and 3 for a BCMA race, with all riders placing well. “The group of 50cc riders class was the best I’ve witnessed,” said TMXA’s Ken Parkes. “All riders fast, taking the jumps and very few falls... awesome group of riders that showed the BCMA that Terrace has another group of strong riders coming through the system.” Some of the Terrace notables at this point in the season in the BCMA standings are Connor McCarron (2), Carter Steele (5), Dario Roldo (8), Levi Leonardes (10), and Shawn Anderson (16) in 50cc; Logan Kuehne (15th) in 65cc; Joey Parkes (2nd) in 85cc; Joey Parkes (3rd), Jesse Lanterman (4) in Supermini; Ty Calcutt (1), Andrew Kennedy (7) in Intermediate; Evan Pinto (1), Rice Brandt (9), Jesse Lanterman (10) in Schoolboy; and Stephen Greg (7) Contributed PHOTO in Plus 40.

Stanvick can’t get away from fighting for Canada Terrace’s Dalton Stanvick has spent the last few years fighting for Canada. First, competing for Team Canada at kickboxing worlds in 2011, and more recently, as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. “It's kind of ironic I can't get away from fighting for Canada,” laughs Dalton, who gives a lot of credit to his Terrace sensai Amber Pipe, who helped to clean up his life four years ago with her kickboxing program. He's currently living and working in Gagetown, New Brunswick, one of Canada's largest military bases, after spending three months in basic training – an experience that was physically tough, but mentally even tougher. “The hardest part about basic training is the mind games they play,” he said. “It's all a game.” He said that unlike civilian bootcamps, where someone is motivating you to work harder, army bootcamp is all about breaking you down chip by chip. During his three months in basic training, he would wake up at 4:30 a.m., make his bed, brush teeth, shave, head outside for a run and personal training at 5 a.m., shower, dress, and try to eat breakfast before an inspection at 7 a.m. “The most stressful time of the day,” he said. “They would usually find something that wasn't done properly no matter

t was Father’s Day 2013. I was on a tour of the Dasque and Middle Creek Run of the River project with members of the Kalum LRMP’s Planning and Implementation Committee. Our first stop was on the Dasque where we looked across the massive man made box canyon then down to the river. On the far side a large loader and a rock truck looked like Tonka toys. The massive pit that had been blasted out of rock to make room for the powerhouse and penstocks extended right to the river. The river was just past peak flows. Dasque is more of river than a creek, just like Kleanza and Fiddler are. It was only the second time I’d seen it, and the first time I’d seen the upper part of the river. In all my years fishing the lower Skeena, I’d always yielded to the Lakelse River’s charms, turned onto the Lakelse Main instead of keeping to the Whitebottom Main, which would have taken me to Dasque. The stream reminded me of the upper reaches of Kleanza Creek. The falls we were staring down upon were not nearly as formidable as those on Kleanza Creek, those on the Zymoetz, or the falls on the Zymacord. If I’d made my way to Dasque and up the logging road to look for steelhead I would have hunted them above the falls. In Kleanza you can be lucky enough to catch a traveling steelhead below the lower canyon, but the majority of the fish and the
months I was there was definitely being in the field for a week with no sleep, people shooting at you (with blank ammo), getting into firefights all night and all day, sleeping in -15 in a swamp with it raining and snowing and blowing

on you,” he said. “There were really hard times but it was an amazing accomplishment when you finished and got to go back to base – trust me you appreciated an uncomfortable bed after the three visits we had to the field.” The day he got to march in his graduation parade “was the best day of my life because I knew I survived,” he said. And although he doesn't kickbox right now, due to lack of time and a serious injury he experienced in 2011 during the worlds competition in Spain, he said he hopes to continue kickboxing training one day when he's posted in Edmonton, Alberta. Until then, he's staying put in Gagetown, working on different jobs while waiting for his course to start in October. “I will be going on course here at the Canadian Forces School of Military Engineering. Combat engineers basically work with a lot of demolition and construction they can also fight as infantryman if they have to and they can also specialize in other things as combat diver, EOD all those types of jobs. It's actually a very interesting job that is why I can't wait to pursue it.” And while it's hard to be away from his family and girlfriend, who he only gets to see about a month a year, the experience has been one he can't pass up, adding that “living in Gagetown is great because the scenery is a lot like B.C.”

coho and steelhead spawning and to mitigate the damage something deemed good for habitat will be done elsewhere. The best scientist with the best equipment can’t build a mayfly, let alone a fourkilometre stretch of salmon stream and its surrounding habitat. When we hear the word mitigation from industrialists something irreplaceable is about to be lost forever, in the case of Dasque, a stretch of river that has evolved over millennia to perfectly suit its environment. Any notion that these projects are small and relatively unobtrusive is quickly dispelled with a glance the monstrous footprint we saw. And that is only part of an infrastructure, which includes roads, transmission lines, and, in this case, the laying and burying of four kilometres of pipe large enough in diameter for a man to walk through. The construction crew is justifiably proud of their work. They have bent over backwards to minimize the impact of their work. Our river valleys would be in much better shape if loggers had exerted as much care. The problem is these run of the river projects, though sold as small, green intrusions, are huge industrial undertakings with extensive infrastructure that require a lot of earth moving, logging, and blasting to construct. Their footprint is huge. They compromise public land then transfer that land into private hands.
