Huge recycling shift coming By JOSH MASSEY THE CITY has provided a glimpse of what will be a dramatic shift in how garbage collection and recycling is handled beginning next spring. Residential garbage will be picked up once every two weeks and recyclables placed in large, clear plastic bags in the off weeks as of next May. The new system is designed to fit in with the creation of a
province-wide organization called Multi-Material BC (MMBC) which will expand recycling beyond current items to include paper and other packaging materials used in consumer goods. The residential service will be operated by the city and provided to family and multi-family residences that have up to four units, with an as-of-yet undetermined collection company providing pick-up for businesses, apartment buildings and other institutions.
The new MMBC program will provide the city an estimated $134,000 a year for the curbside recycling program as part of a new system whereby producers will pay for the recycling of packaging contained in their products. Though MMBC Chair Allen Langdon said the organization is still forming, it has signed up approximately 1,200 producer companies, and has forecast a budget of $100 million. The impact on consumers of packaged goods has
yet to be determined but projections are that costs to consumers will increase as producers cover their payments to MMBC. Langdon said that under the new system municipalities have the choice of providing their own service using MMBC money or having MMBC pay contractors for residential pickup. In both scenarios MMBC is in charge of a depot where material would be sorted and then transported, though Langdon said local
specifics still need to be worked out. City public works director Rob Schibli said the city is choosing to provide collection services because it fits well with the current curbside garbage pick-up program. The report shows that with recycling forecast to reduce garbage loads by up to 50 per cent, allowing the city to reduce garbage pick-up to a new biweekly system, Terrace stands to save up to $81,000 a year.

Valard employees were on deck July 8 at the Lakelse Air helicopter base on Hwy 16 to learn the ins and outs of operations using this Erickson Aircrane. The heavy load aircraft is being used to lift in the majority of the hydro towers for the Northwest Transmission Line.
An Industrial accident Saturday morning shut down the installation of the Northwest Transmission Line towers for the day, with early reports saying that a worker lost a finger. Before the mishap occurred production using a massive helicopter had gotten off to a faster-than-expected start. An Erickson Aircrane helicopter arrived in Terrace July 8 and was at work the next day following safety training sessions with crews from Valard, the transmission line's main construction contractor. Nearly 900 of the towers will be lifted into place along the 344km transmission line route over several work periods between now and the fall. The steel hydro towers vary in weight between 12,000 and 17,000 pounds, a task the Aircrane can accomplish because of its 20,000 pound lift capacity. In all, the Northwest Transmission Line will consist of just over 1,100 towers, bringing electricity into the northwestern section of B.C. to spur industrial development. While not exactly fuel efficient – the Aircrane burns 500 gallons of fuel an hour – it was seen as the most efficient way to lift preconstructed towers quickly to their foundation sites. Before its trip to Terrace on July 8 the aircraft was being used for a coastal logging job in southern B.C. The goal is to lift as many as 20 towers a day with a goal set of placing 160 towers in this first period of helicopter work. Crews began working north of BC Hydro's Skeena Substation just south of Terrace. Once all the towers are in place, Valard linemen will work with smaller helicopters to string the power lines from tower to tower, with completion of the line scheduled for Spring 2014. Lakelse Air is supplying smaller helicopters to fly about 50 Valard workers in and out of the tower installation sites. They were on hand when the Aircrane touched down for safety training related to working with and around both it and smaller helicopters. “We want to make sure about the hazards ... lots of people are local and haven't had exposure to this kind of work,” said Valard safety specialist Hayley McNeil of the training.

Garbage and recycling to be collected bi-weekly “We're the only ones with the approved stewardship plan,” Langdon added. “There is efficiency in scale. The more material you can collect in the system, the cheaper it is for everyone.” Municipalities have until Sept. 16 to sign five-year contracts with MMBC. Materials collected under the coming program include paper products, cardboard and plastics (except plastic bottles), to be transferred in a single stream, meaning they can be mixed in the bags to be separated later at a depot. Glass would need to be collected separately, and Terrace may or may not choose to include this glass-recycling option. Schibli said that less than half a per cent of Terrace landfill material is composed of glass, and he believes the current fleet can be fitted with boxes for collection. Forty plastic bags will be given to every household per year, which will cost $28,000, and is included in the total expense
of $144,000 for the first year of the program. The city estimates the cost will be $131,000 for each following year. Included are education and administration costs at $20,000 for the first year and $7,000 for each following year. Until new garbage trucks are purchased, the current fleet will pick up both waste and recyclables on alternating weeks. “Our collection fleet will be replaced within the next few years and will be optimized for refuse/recycling collection and delivery of refuse to the new [regional district] landfill,” said Schibli, referring to the regional district's Forceman Ridge landfill project. Until the upgrade the machines will be pressure-washed weekly to avoid contamination of recyclables with compost, Schibli said. There will still be a two-can limit on refuse and the shift to picking it up every two weeks will reduce the cost from $182,000 each week to $91,000. “There will be quite a bit of public education happening to get the
More support for creek name change By JOSH MASSEY A recent letter to the Regional District submitted by museum curator Kelsey Wiebe is the most recent gesture of support in a movement spawned by ex-regional district director Les Watmough to change the name of Sockeye Creek south of Terrace back to the original local name Eliza Creek. According to both oral and written record, the letter reads, Sockeye Creek was once called Eliza Creek by locals after Eliza Thornhill, who was married to pioneer Tom Thornhill and sister to Kitselas chief Walter Wright. Wiebe has joined a chorus of supporters including Terrace liaison to the regional district Lynne Christiansen as well as Kitselas Elder Francis Seymour.
There has been discussion over whether the original name should be restored to Eliza Creek or to have an earlier Sm'algyax combined with it. The letter cites the importance of Eliza Thornhill in the history of the region, saying she is representative of a group of strong First Nations women who married white settlers like Tom and helped them survive in a world unfamiliar to them. Eliza hunted, fished, and trapped, providing food as well as cash through the trading and selling of furs at Port Essington,” the letter reads. The letter also quotes historian Floyd Frank who noted the name change in 1978, saying that “there's only a few left that know these things.”
public in the know about what is going to come down in the spring,” said city administrator
Heather Avison of an information campaign set to begin this fall. The overall program
is supposed to provide incentive for companies to reduce packaging and create value for re-
cycled material. Other options were presented by city staff to council, such as
weekly pick-up of both garbage and recycling but were deemed cost prohibitive.

Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Erb paves way for new overpass Local lottery millionaire Bob Erb said he has $50,000 to lay plans for a bridge spanning the Skeena River to create a new and better traffic pattern for the city. He believes the new bridge, which would cross the river at Ferry Island to intersect with Greig Ave. near the curling rink, would revitalize the downtown core and “alleviate the misery that the 4600 Lakelse Block merchants have suffered” since the construction of the bridges reaching west of Ferry Island and the Sande Overpass. Erb said his plan will also reduce congestion on the Sande Overpass caused by the closing of the Frank Street level rail crossing last month. “It’s not going to be any more costly than another overpass, but it’s going to revitalize the downtown. We have a hotel being built down at the old Co-op property and they’d sure like to see Rupert and Alaska ferry traffic coming through,” said Erb.
Erb described what he believes would be a “circular traffic flow” and “easy in, easy out circuit” coming from his bridge plan in tandem with continuous traffic flowing from the city over the old Skeena Bridge to Thornhill and the intersection of Hwy16 and Hwy37. Large signs visible on the highway entering from both ends would read “Kitimat and Prince George via downtown Terrace,” and “Prince Rupert, Alaska and Haida Gwaii ferry via downtown Terrace,” said Erb.
“I want to see positive change at city council,” Erb said, accusing some members of a lack of forward thinking policy. “This is a hub city and you want to see growth and money realized through increased property values. You have to make big town decisions. But they have a small town mentality. Their vision is to keep it the quaint little town they grew up in and let the fast paced world pass by.” Erb’s $50,000 offer is based on the city chipping in $100,000 to study his bridge idea.

Development activity to pick up MUCH of the discussion at the July 8 city council meeting surrounded variance permits and a zoning amendment. The evening began with a public hearing about an application to rezone the lots at 4453, 4455, 4457 and 4459 Greig Ave. (on the corner of Greig and Clinton) from light industrial to C1-A mixed use. Local lottery millionaire Bob Erb has purchased the lots and wants to build a structure containing retail on the bottom floor, including a spot for the Deviant Fibre clothing business and an antique store, and housing on the top floor. Erb wasn’t on hand at council, but later described the building plan, as an “Eastern Renaissance, European style from the 1560s, Hansel and Gretel gingerbread type house ... a landmark type building.” City chief administration officer Heather Avison told council at the hearing that types of development that are permitted on C1-A include business service establishments, financial institutions, home
occupations, multi-family dwellings, offices, parkades, restaurants, retail stores and townhouses. Nobody from the public showed up to protest the plan, and council found no reason to oppose the change. “I think it makes a lot of sense,” councillor Brian Downie said, because in that part of Terrace, “light industry is a thing of the past.” Erb has also purchased a second set of lots also on Greig and almost across the street from the Skeena Liquor Store and says an undisclosed national franchise has expressed interest in that location. However Erb also said the possibility remains that Deviant Fibre building could be built there, with this other franchise, which would also have several apartments upstairs, could be located on the first set of lots. Two more items on council’s agenda involved bylaw amendments for trailer parks on Lakelse Ave. A lot at 4342 Lakelse Ave., where the old Dog and Suds used to be, is getting turned into an RV campground that will
have room for 14 vehicles on a recreational, non-permanent basis. New owner Don Kirkby plans to use the former Dog and Suds building for laundry and showers and wanted a variance to reduce the buffer zone between it and other facilities. Located between the Bavarian Inn/Back Eddy Pub and Sonbadas, there was some debate at council over whether a trailer park is a good fit, however since the lot is already zoned service commercial, councillor Stacey Tyers and James Cordeiro reasoned to the rest of council that they really had no power to oppose the plan. Councillor Bruce Bidgood said that,“it seems like an unusual use of the strip”, and Downie argued that council should consider making the owner provide a better plan for buffering the perimeter before they allow the variance. After some debate, both this permit, as well as a third item, were granted through acceptance of the recommendations by council. The third item was a variance permit for
A new president lands at Hawkair HAWKAIR has hired a person from Yellowknife to take over the running of the regional airline with the departure of Rod Hayward to a teaching position at the University of Fraser Valley in Abbotsford. Jay Dilley started his new job as president July 15 and comes to Terrace after eight years as vice president for Summit Air. He holds an Honours Bachelor of Commerce in Finance and Economics, and a Master of Science in Management. Dilley has also worked at Arctic Sunwest Charters. “I’m very excited to be joining Hawkair,” Dilley said of his new company. “Lots of good things ahead.” “Jay brings a tremendous range of experience in leadership positions within the aviation industry. The board is confident in
Jay’s ability to build on the legacy of success Rod is leaving; he has the right skills, experience and values.” said Lindsay Clougher, a member of the board of directors of Hawkair. Hayward was in on the ground floor of the formation of Hawkair which began operations in 1994 as a cargo service before switching to passenger service in 2000. It now flies to Van-
couver from Terrace, Smithers and Prince Rupert and, as of June with partner airline Central Mountain Air, has added service to Calgary. Hayward said he is confident Hawkair will continue to see growth in the coming years. “I believe [Dilley] will help Hawkair move forward,” he said. Hayward begins his teaching career next month.

Training for skilled jobs is ramping up in Terrace – and our school district is playing a big part. By ANNA KILLEN For years, experts have been warning of an impending shortage of skilled workers as an older workforce prepares to retire. In the northwest, however, the talk is of a shortage to meet the demands of large industrial projects either underway or in the planning stages. This means that in Terrace, innovative trades training is a top priority for the Coast Mountains School District (CMSD) – a new trades liaison (see story below) will act as a bridge between the district and industry, and, over the past few years, a laddered approach to preparatory trades training at the high school level has been taking shape. Students are first introduced to trades in middle school and have various opportunities to get on board throughout their high school careers. But it’s the new Intro to Trades course – a program piloted this year as a partnership between CMSD and Northwest Community College (NWCC) and extended into the coming years – that’s being pointed to as a way for young students to really experience the trades. The concept is fairly simple – take a cohort of students, give them a classroom at the college, and interchange blocks of academics with blocks of instruction in the various trades offered. The students are able to try out the trades – in a substantial, immersive way – and decide which one is right for them – or maybe find out that trades isn’t their thing at all. This way, they’re better able to plan out their last years of high school and they’ll be a step ahead of the game when it comes to post-secondary school. The program, conceived by Brent Speidel, director of instruction for the Coast Mountains School District (CMSD), has two classes of 20 students alternating one week in the classroom with one week in the shop. “It’s relatively new, and it’s being held as a model of best practice by the colleges and by the ministry in terms of trades training, so we’re excited about it, we’re proud of it,” he said. Five other districts have similar programs and the Industrial Training Authority (ITA) is taking what was learned in those districts, as well as information from various stakeholders, to develop a Ministry of Education authorized course to be piloted next year – the ministry-authorized course should be designed to be flexible, meaning our district can choose to use their template, but keep things that worked well locally. Speidel said part of the program is about building these students’ confidence in terms of how they think about post-secondary edu-

That’s the work of Intro to Trades instructor Tanya Corstanje, a passionate, veteran teacher who just finished her masters in education and is well-versed in the latest research and teaching techniques to motivate
and engage kids. She is uniquely-suited to teach this program, tailored for kids who aren’t traditional learners. She came up with the basic structure of the program and has been tweaking it throughout the year. “There’s a saying, ‘You build the boat as you sail it,” said Corstanje. “It’s been sailed.” What happens in her classroom at the college is different that the traditional high school structure. She has her students for six hours a day, as opposed to six hours a week. The curriculum she teaches – English, Socials, and Planning – is interwoven and overlapping. And, of course, because this is Intro to Trades, she uses trades to illustrate traditional concepts. “I’m not all about the structure of the
school, it’s a little more relaxed,” she said. “It’s for kids that are somewhat disengaged, but in part that’s because they’ve only been shown, the focus, is only on academics. And even though I teach the academics, I show that it’s not a painful situation.” The pace of the program is efficient – and Corstanje expects to see results. “I get them for 40 days, each group, so you can’t go and teach fluff ... there’s no fooling around,” she said. “[I look at the curriculum and say,] ‘This is the most important thing for you to learn’ – and that’s what I teach. I boil it down.” Students are taught how to think critically, problem solve, infer and ask questions. Learning how to be an effective communicator is also key. Corstanje reminds her students that the most successful tradespeople are the ones who know how to communicate, think on the fly, and explain. And selfassessment is a main feature of the program – with students tracking their own progress using guidelines they fully understand, which helps them “own their learning.” “I don’t teach them stuff so much as I teach them skills so they can do the stuff,” she said. “I start with a skill that doesn’t require as deep of thinking, and then build on that... you don’t lose a skill as much as you might lose a concept.” Some things in the program will change next year – most notably, more input from principals as to which students will be best suited to the program. And the district will be paying attention to last year’s students, seeing where they go and how they do – Corstanje says about half have already planned their timetables to stream into ACEIT (a high school apprenticeship program) and will enter trades after graduation. And while it’s too early to say if this learning approach could be applied to other areas – in terms of this group, the method appears to have fostered success. “The results we got off the provincials were amazing,” said Corstanje, noting that at the beginning of the year, the majority of the students were assessed as “not yet meeting” in regards to writing skills. But the marks of the provincial exams at the end of the year had Corstanje “over the moon.” On a six-point scale, “there were an abnormal amount of fives and sixes out of six,” she said. “It was way more than we’d expect out of a typical Grade 10 group, but this was an atypical group who walked into the class thinking they couldn’t write – turns out, they can write... Who knows, maybe this is the way to go?”
Trades liason will link district with industry CAROL Leclerc, former BC Liberal candidate for the Skeena riding – and long-time school district employee – will be taking on a new role within the Coast Mountains School District (CMSD), that of coordinating potential trades careers for students with industry. This is a brand new position for the district, and it aims to bridge the gap between the school district and industry, ensuring students are ready right out of the high school gate for the employers who will
be looking to hire them – or train them further. “Ultimately we need somebody who can get out there and develop some partnerships,” said superintendent Nancy Wells, noting that connections with industry and a knowledge of government bodies would be an asset. “It’ll be the catalyst from the school district to make those connections happen and to get things going for kids. Programs, possibilities, what’s out there.”
“Carol’s strong sense of community and experience in local and regional government have given her a good understanding of regional issues that will complement this role,” said Wells in the release announcing the appointment. “Her passion and advocacy for economic development and the resulting benefits for our region will be a strength as she works towards creating training and employability opportunities for youth in the communities of Hazelton, Kitimat, Kit-
wanga, Stewart and Terrace and all of the First Nations communities within our school district.” Leclerc, who started at the school district in 1990 as the secretary to the director of instruction, will be in charge of developing a career education program. Her responsibilities will also include “building the corporate partnerships necessary to support the development of local trades training programs that will provide students with the skills to become
viable employees in the local and provincial labour markets.” Leclerc will be leaving her human resources position, which she has held since 2003, when the new position starts on August 1. Leclerc served on Terrace city council for nine years, retiring in 2011. Just this year she led a spirited campaign to become Skeena MLA under the BC Liberals, but ultimately lost to incumbent NDP MLA Robin Austin in the May provincial election.

EDITORIAL
Medals ASK Skeena - Bulkley Valley NDP Member of Parliament Nathan Cullen what he thinks of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals and he will tell you the following: A bit of a gong show. Thousands handed out willy nilly. No clear pathway as to who qualifies and who does not. Regardless of Mr. Cullen’s opinions, he was allocated 30 of the medals struck to commemorate the Queen’s 60 years on the throne and to recognize the individual achievements of those who received one. Mr. Cullen received nominations to recognize 11 constituents. The nominations in turn were to be passed to the Governor-General’s office which administered the program for validation. And that’s where the trail turns cold. Repeated requests made to Mr. Cullen’s office dating back to February of this year (the program ended Feb. 28) for a list of who received medals in his riding were initially met with promises it would be sent. Those promises then turned into an admission from Mr. Cullen’s office that no medals were actually provided to any or all of the nominations received by Mr. Cullen. Mr. Cullen and his office are now struggling to explain what happened. No one’s perfect and things can – and do – go sideways. But 11 nominations were received from people who believe the intended recipients were worthy. Mr. Cullen owes both groups full and complete answers. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

equestered jurors have limited access to their families; may not email, tweet, twitter, text, Facebook or even discuss the trial among themselves; and are forbidden to read or listen to any newspaper, radio, TV, or internet reports of the trial. Which pretty well rules out all media publications since mention of trials of major interest could pop up at any moment. So how do sequestered jurors amuse themselves between 5 p.m. when court recesses and bedtime, especially if they are assigned individual hotel rooms? I’ve never served on a jury though once I was summoned. When I reported to the “cattle call” for jury selection, a copy of the local newspaper hugged under one arm, I was waved on through into the parking lot. At the time, I was miffed by my swift rejection, and disappointed to miss out on a unique experience, fodder for a column, but after following trials that have gone on for months, I thank my interest in current events for sparing me from a potentially tedious trial as well as any

THROUGH BIFOCALS
CLAUDETTE SANDECKI possibility of sequestration, surely a numbing existence. When a jury is sequestered the judge places them beyond public reach during the time the court is not in session. As a group they are transported to a hotel each day after court recesses, where they eat together, perhaps in a separate dining area, and are held at all times under the watchful eye of a deputy sheriff (I watch American trials; Canadian trials are seldom if ever followed live on TV or internet) until they are transported back to the courthouse for the next day’s session. The purpose of seques-
tration is to keep them apart from any information that may sway their opinion, and isolate them from anyone who might seek to buy them off or intimidate them, until such time as a verdict has been brought in or the jury has declared they are hung, unable to agree whether the defendant is guilty or innocent. Trial publicity, public sentiment, interested parties, and the maneuverings and machinations of lawyers outside the courtroom can all taint the jurors’ objectivity and deny the defendant a fair trial. Judges are free to sequester the jury whenever they believe any of these factors may affect the trial’s outcome. Because sequestration can be such a hardship on jurors, both physically and emotionally stressful, it is seldom used. The practice is also prohibitively expensive . In the California trial of the doctor accused of killing Michael Jackson, the prospect of sequestering the jury was ruled out due to its exorbitant cost. Aside from cost, judges tend to be considerate of their juries, as evidenced by
S TANDARD
Judge Debra Nelson in the Florida trial of George Zimmerman, currently in its final stages. July 3, the day before the U.S. Independence Day holiday, Zimmerman’s defence asked the judge to cancel court Friday, July 5, to allow them to take a deposition from a witness. That would have left the jurors sequestered over the four-day holiday weekend accomplishing nothing. Because Zimmerman’s lawyers had known since June 3 they needed to depose their witness but had made no prior request for the judge to recess court early any afternoon to give them extra time to do so, Judge Nelson refused to grant their postponement request. Trial went ahead July 5. If jurors are sequestered for weeks, they may be escorted to entertainment, still monitored at all times by deputy sheriffs. Although what entertainment venues they could attend without risking hearing or reading something pertaining to their trial I can’t imagine. Would it be a Rolling Stones Concert? An air show? A rodeo? An NHL playoff game?

king crow band members inside the bus they used to tour Alberta earlier this year.
Poor neighbourly conduct Dear Sir: ‘Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything’ - Plato It’s a sad day in the neighbourhood. We have a band that practices in our garage and in the summer they sometimes leave the door open. We like it when they have the door open, but not everyone does. We have had two letters now from
the city in the past year advising us that we are breaking the noise bylaw. We are guilty, but it is the way this has come about that is sad. The musicians that make up this nine piece band went through the school system of Terrace and most (if not all) went through the superb music programs in this town. As young people, they could have gone in many different direc-
tions, but in this case they chose music for a big part of their life. When they play the Legion, they sell out. When they play George Little Park, they fill that too. And when they play on stages in Smithers, Prince George, Jasper, Edmonton, Calgary and Canmore they are loved there too. The thing is, the King Crow Band has to practice somewhere. Their
appreciative audiences know that. All we ask is before running to the city, come see or call us, and come meet these impressive young people who write most of their own music and are all excellent musicians. We are approachable and accommodating. It’s the neighbourly thing to do. Jill and Drew Mackay Terrace, B.C.
Dear Sir: I just received the latest taxpayer-funded newsletter from our MP, Nathan Cullen. I have long been unhappy to have my tax dollars used to promote political parties but this latest issue is way over the top. Why should I be forced—through my taxes— to pay for NDP literature thinly disguised as news from Ottawa? Our tax dollars paid for the printing and our tax dollars and postage stamps supported its “free” distribution. I have no problem with subsidizing legitimate communications between residents of Skeena-Bulkley Valley and our elected representative. However, the use of this privilege to shamelessly promote the NDP and its leader is nothing short of taxpayer abuse. More than that, it’s an abuse of democracy itself. After the last federal election, the NDP received over $10 million in “reimbursements” from Canadian taxpayers. That’s $10 million they could spend on self-promotion without using the MP’s local newsletter as a propaganda tool. To use the perks of office and incumbency to push the NDP agenda at taxpayers’ expense is self-serving and unfair to voters and the future candidates of other parties who do not have this privilege. Thomas Jefferson said that it is tyranny “…to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves…” I couldn’t agree more. CHP Canada, in contrast, receives NO taxpayer money and any literature we distribute is paid for by our own supporters, not by taxpayers. Voters should not be forced to pay for being brainwashed. Rod Taylor Deputy Leader Christian Heritage Party Canada, Telkwa, B.C.
Transmission line is backbone of our future
R
eaching north of our Skeena Substation is an engineering marvel – the Northwest Transmission Line. Close to 1,100 steel towers, averaging 27 metres in height, are being erected. Stack them all together and they’re the equivalent to 78 Empire State buildings. Combined, the towers contain 10,600 tonnes of steel – comparable to 1.5 Eiffel towers. Building a 344-kilometre, 287-kilovolt transmission line half-way to the Yukon is not easy. As northerners well know, the terrain is some of most rugged in all of B.C. and the weather can be extreme. A few weeks ago in this newspaper, BC Hydro acknowledged the project is facing significant construction challenges that have caused the cost to rise well beyond the original planning estimate. We’ve learned from this project and have put in place better cost-containment measures to ensure future projects remain on time and on budget. The long-term value of the line is undisputable. Already, economic benefits are flowing directly locally with the project
creating 280 jobs during each of its three years of construction. We’re proud First Nation and Nisga’a Nation contractors have done the vast majority of work to date – clearing more than 300 kilometres of the right-of-way and building more than 200 kilometres of access roads. In addition, the Tahltan Nation Development Corporation prepared the site for the new Bob Quinn Substation. First Nations and Nisga’a Nation representatives were also involved in environmental and archeological work. In preparation, more than 300 First Nations and Nisga’a Nation people participated in our skillstraining “boot camps” – receiving certificate training in a range of areas, including chainsaw safety, helicopter safety, occupational first aid, and fire suppression. More than 70 per cent of participants in the boot camps are now either working or pursuing further training. In fact, the Gitanyow have developed a permanent work camp at Meziadin that will employ many of their community members. The Gitanyow celebrated
g u e s t c o mm e n t
CHARLES REID the grand opening of the facility last month. Designed for up to 200 beds, the work camp will serve a variety of big construction projects in the region in the coming years. Whenever possible, transmission line contractors are hiring locally and using local suppliers for things such as helicopters, surveying, environmental consulting, construction camps, and laydown areas. BC Hydro hosted business networking sessions in
Terrace for local sub-contractors and suppliers to maximize their opportunities to partner with the contractors. Valard – the contractor building the line – reports that half of its construction labour force lives between Terrace and Bob Quinn, with the balance coming from other parts of Canada. It’s also important to note Valard’s work is being delivered under a project agreement with IBEW Local 258. The line also has the ability to spur future industrial development. A report by the Mining Association of B.C. estimated that the electrification of northwest B.C. has the potential to attract more than $15 billion in mining investment alone – creating up to 10,000 jobs and generating $300 million in annual tax revenues. Recognizing the growing job opportunities, BC Hydro is supporting a Labour Market Partnership program that included a study into the gap between the job skills required and the local skills available. The program is now implementing strategies to encourage former residents to move back to take advantage
of the work opportunities. For example, a one-stop web portal will act as an electronic hiring hall for all projects in the northwest, enabling users to post jobs, equipment, supplies and services needed. Recently, BC Hydro gave some four Coast Mountains School District graduates a head start through scholarships for post-secondary trades-training. Lastly, I’d like to point out that despite the challenging conditions, construction is progressing well. About 95 per cent of the right-of-way has been cleared and 80 per cent of the access roads have been constructed. Close to 160 of the lattice towers have been assembled. The residents and businesses of the Northwest have long lobbied for this transmission line, and I want to extend my personal thanks to the region for your continued support. I look forward to celebrating with you in 2014 the completion of this unique project that will provide a backbone for regional development in Northwest B.C. Charles Reid is President and Chief Executive Officer of BC Hydro.

Tax creeps onto gas bills approximately $7 million a year for subsidies to green technology companies and projects. Authority for the ICE levy is contained within the provincial Social Services Tax Act which is why it was stopped when the provincial sales tax was replaced with the HST in 2010. So when the HST was stopped, the provincial sales tax reappeared and with it, the ICE tax. The original ICE monies went to companies such as Earth Renu Energy Corp of Delta which received $1 million to turn urban organic waste into natural gas. The T’Sou-ke First

BRITISH COLUMBIANS may have thought they got rid of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) this spring but the provincial government has now quietly tacked another levy onto natural gas heating bills. Called the Innovation Clean Energy (ICE) Fund, the tax amounts to .4 per cent of natural gas consumed. It appeared on natural gas bills as of April 1, the same date the HST disappeared, and also applies to fuel oil and some propane consumption. The tax is intended to subsidize companies and governments of various kinds developing so-called “green energy” technologies such as ones using solar, wind, wood waste or geothermal power. It’s actually the second time a tax of this type has appeared – it was also called the ICE Fund when it first surfaced in 2007 as an add-on to heating bills. Payments to companies began the next year. The tax disappeared in 2010, the same year the HST was introduced, but not before handing out approximately $60 million of the $68 million collected over its lifetime. The remainder of the money was disbursed to various projects after the ICE tax ended and new projects were financed with money from the province’s general revenue account. The province says it has provided more than $77 million to 62 clean energy and technology projects. This time around provincial officials expect the tax to bring in

Nation at Sooke also received $1 million for a green heating and cooling system for use in an industrial greenhouse. But not all of the announced projects in the first ICE go around actually did receive money. That list includes Pytrade, a company which had its eyes fixed on Kitimat, and which, according to a July 2011 provincial government press release, was to receive $1 million. Pytrade’s plan was to use a fast-heating process to convert wood waste and other bio mass into oil to create electricity and to create bio-coal and biogas. Kitimat’s municipal council embraced the
project but nothing has taken place since early announcements. “Pytrade did not enter into a contribution agreement with the province and no portion of the $1 million was administered,” said the provincial government in response to questions. “In March 2012 funding was rescinded as the project did not sufficiently meet the program’s guidelines.” In all 17 initially approved projects either withdrew from the program or were rescinded, a value of $18.5 million, the province added. That money was then reallocated to other projects within the ICE program.

Senior school staffer leaves district office COAST Mountains School District (CMSD) bid farewell to one of its senior staff at the end-of-year board meeting, with a presentation for director of aboriginal education Cheryl Sebastian who is moving on to a similar position in Kamloops in order to be closer to her family. Terrace school trustee Roger Leclerc gave the presentation, which detailed her rise through the district, on behalf of the board of education trustees at the June 19 meeting. Sebastian started her career with the district in 1980 at John Field Elementary in Hazelton, where she played a number of roles in the classroom – library, computers, Gitxsan Language & Culture. She then left the district for six years to teach at Northbound Elementary and Kispiox community schools, before returning to John Field in 1990. Seven

ters of education from UNBC while working full-time. "I remember those days," quipped trustee Leclerc. "I was doing
mine at the same time." Sebastian was principal at John Field, and then Clarence Michiel in Terrace, now Suwilaawks Community School, before moving to the board office as district principal of aboriginal education, which was then redefined as director of aboriginal education. "CMSD extends its sincere thanks to Cheryl's many contributions to learner success within the district with her years of service and dedication," he said. Sebastian said she has treasured her time at the district. "My years working in SD82 have been incredible and I will treasure the memories that I take with me," she said. "I have worked with an incredible team of educational leaders and community partners over the years and will certainly miss them." Sebastian's replacement has not yet been announced.

Man arrested for cutting another man’s throat
TERRACE RCMP arrested a 41-year-old man for cutting the throat of another man in Terrace July 8. A passerby waved police down and directed them to a residence on Mountainview Ave for a disturbance where police found a man covered in blood on top of another man. Officers arrested the man on top and the man on the bottom fled. Investigation determined that
the man who had fled had cut the throat of another man, who was inside the residence. Officers checked the area and located the man with the public’s help, hiding in tall grass. He was arrested without incident. Police have forwarded charges of aggravated assault and breach of recognizance on the 41-year-old man, who's from Kitimat. He is held for court.
THE BOTTOM LINE
IN COOL! SAVE UP TO $500 ON SELECT GE & GE PROFILE REFRIGERATORS*
Less layoffs than last year By ANNA KILLEN The amount of teachers in the Coast Mountains School District (CMSD) who received layoff notices this year is down substantially from last year, with 27 teachers receiving notice compared to last year's nearly 50. That's because estimates indicate the district is only going to lose about 30 students in the coming school year, whereas last year that number was closer to 100, said school board chair Art Erasmus. “We are heading in a better direction than we did last year,” he said. And this might be the new normal – at least for the next few years. Erasmus said the district's long-term projections show that by 2016 the enrolment decline will have stopped. “We may be seeing an incline,” he said, of the district's make up after 2016. “Part of what we presently experience is that the number of kindergarten kids that come into the school is smaller than the number of kids that graduate in Grade 12, so that arith-
metic tells you that we are shrinking. “But when the bulge of the large classes will have graduated, and the number of kids that graduate and the number of kids coming to kindergarten are approximately equal, then we're not going to have a decline.” And he noted that this year's student estimates present a different staffing challenge – when bits and pieces of the population leave a school, than it's not one teacher or one job less in the school, but a fraction of a position that needs to be cut or filled. It's yet to be determined how many of those layoff notices will be rescinded – each year layoff notices are issued to teachers, with a portion of those rehired by September depending on job postings and seniority. Erasmus said those numbers will be available by the end of August. And although last year saw a higher number of teacher's retiring than usual, which offset the high number of layoff notices, this year that does not appear to
be the case, with only half a dozen teacher's
giving notice of retirement to date.

Modelling a positive life for girls A TERRACE RCMP officer is spending time with tween and teen girls as a positive role model to help them through those difficult years. Community policing officer Const. Angela Rabut got together with various community organizations to discuss how important it was for girls to have positive role models. “The ages of 12 to 15 years can be difficult ones,” she said. “Girls at this age are figuring out who they are and this is influenced by others involved in their lives.” Ksan took the lead and formed the Ksan Girls Group and for the second year have received financing and hired two students to run a summer mentorship program for girls, said Rabut. “The RCMP has committed to taking part in this program, including organizing four of the days,” she said. “I am hoping to show these young woman that under this uniform and public light that I am a still just a girl like them, with hopes and fears and the gauntlet of human emotions that comes with being a girl. I want to instill [them with] pride and confidence of being a girl.” She hangs out with the girls, such as going canoeing or hiking, and talking about how life is not easy and that is okay, about boys, relationships, school, friends, bullying, parents, hobbies, future aspirations, and other things, she said. “It is so important for girls to accept themselves for who they are,” said Rabut. “It is equally important for girls to have the confidence to try new things and push themselves.” She tells them about some of her successes, and some of her failures and shares her life experiences, she said, adding that as the key lead agency, Ksan House Society has done an excellent job.

Students show projects at provincial fair
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
michael munday poses with his project on the Terrace Mutiny at the provincial heritage fair earlier this month.
Five young history buffs showed off their projects to a new audience at the Provincial Heritage Fair and week-long history camp. Michael Munday, Myah Bowal, Nicole Lofroth, Sebastian Heron and Morgyn Budden earned their spots at the provincial event after receiving top honours at the regional fair held here in the spring. With confidence and enthusiasm, the young students explained their projects to a crowd circulating through the July 7 exhibit held in the Royal BC Museum. Given the task of creating a research project on a significant person or event in Canadian history, each student came up with his or her own unique ideas. Twelve-year-old Munday turned to a local history book provided by his mother Kelly. “The Terrace Mutiny of 1944 really captured my interest,” he said. The Grade 8 student found a personal connection with his story: his great-grandfather was serving with the 11th Field Ambulance unit in Terrace during the mutiny. He found additional information on the subject through old newspaper articles and the internet.
The 3,000-strong soldiers stationed in Terrace from 1942 to 1945 were not happy with their remote posting. Rations were short, amenities were non-existent and winters were cold, he said. But they chose home defence duties at the start of the Second World War instead of serving in the line of fire overseas thanks to a deal offered by then-Prime Minister Mackenzie King. When King reneged on the understanding in November, 1944, the Terrace-based embittered soldiers went on strike. A long-time personal interest in dance led 13-year-old Lofroth to research the history of Canada’s renowned Royal Winnipeg Ballet. “I’ve danced since I was three,” said the Skeena Middle School student, noting she practises five days a week. Under the guidance of dance teacher Leah Gunther, Nicole hopes to one day be part of the Winnipegbased troupe. A member of the Terrace Kermode Bantam Girls hockey team, Bowal was among the millions of proud Canadians during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games held in Vancouver.

ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT step to provide power north of here is scheduled to take a step forward with the selection of a contractor. The project involves a 287kV line running 93km north of Bob Quinn on Hwy37 North to Tatogga Lake where a smaller line will then run east to connect to the Red Chris copper and gold mine now being built by Imperial Metals. Imperial has formed a subsidiary for the project which is to be finished next spring. It’s a crucial time period for that’s when the Red Chris mine is to be completed and when BC Hydro’s 344km Northwest Transmission Line, which starts at the Skeena Substation just south of Terrace and which stops at Bob Quinn, is also to be completed and ready to supply power to Red Chris. “Contractor selection for line construction is expected by the end of July,” says Red Chris vice president Steve Robertson. “Local residents, especially Tahltan, will make up a significant component of the workforce, particularly in areas such as right of way clearing, earthworks and environmental supervision. The total workforce number will fluctuate with a peak of about 130,” he said. As vital as the new project is to the Red Chris mine, it is also part of the overall strategy of providing power to the north using the Northwest Transmission Line as a foundation. At 287kV, the new project, called the Iskut extension, is larger than what’s needed by the Red Chris mine. Under a deal signed with BC Hydro this spring, the line will be sold to the crown corporation for a flat fee of $52 million with the Imperial subsidiary on the hook for any amount above that. It means BC Hydro will be ready to supply power through the extension to other customers, primarily mining companies, should their projects prove viable. BC Hydro officials say the deal is a good one for its fits both the needs of Imperial Metals and of itself and comes with a fixed price. It expects to recover the $52 million it will pay for the extension by charging customers based on the amount of capacity of the line they wish to use. But those customers will also pay for other costs associated with the project, adds BC Hydro. “That comprises the fixed price cost to purchase [the extension] as well as the costs to upgrade the Bob Quinn Substation and build the new Tatogga Substation, and also the costs of the distribution line from Tatogga Lake Substation to Iskut, for a total project cost of approximately $127 million,” said BC Hydro in background material. The extension is also important to BC Hydro for another reason – it moves power closer to the small community of Iskut which is now dependent upon diesel generators for electricity. That’s because BC Hydro is getting a $130 million federal green infrastructure grant to help defray the costs of the increasingly expensive Northwest Transmission Line on the condition it take Iskut off of diesel power within a year of the transmission line being finished. To date, BC Hydro estimates running a small distribution line north of Tatogga Lake, where the Iskut extension is to stop, to Iskut, a distance of about 16km, will cost $5 million.

History & Experience with Specialized Employment Services Almost 20 years ago when PNGI first started to provide employment services to adults with disabilities we thought, ‘How hard could it be?’… It didn’t take long to realize that it was very challenging indeed. The ‘traditional’ ways of finding a job like building a resume, checking the classified ads in the newspaper, applying for a job and going on an interview just weren’t working well. We very quickly figured out that we needed some new strategies or tools in order to help people with disabilities and often multiple barriers to employment, become employed. We began searching for ‘Non-traditional’ strategies and tools. We found some good strategies that ended up working for us and then we developed a few new ones of our own that also worked very well. All in all, we put together a model of supporting people to find real and meaningful paid work in their community. Over the years our employment service has grown and the number of staff we have working in the employment program has increased. We went from working only with people with developmental disabilities to now working with a wide range of disabilities from learning disabilities to autism spectrum disorders, to mental health issues. Year after year one thing that we know is that our model and method for helping people find employment works. Our success rates are very high for a specialized service and that success remains solid even with ups and downs in the economy and the unemployment rates for the general population. Over the years, word of this successful employment program in Terrace has spread and we have had a number of agencies from around BC and the Yukon actually send their staff to Terrace to see first-hand how our methods work. In addition to that, PNGI’s directors have been asked to consult with other groups and mentor other employment agencies in larger urban centers on how to replicate our success. We’ve even gone on a speaking tour to every corner of the province to teach groups about our model! All in all we are very proud of the accomplishments our small, rural agency has made in the world of specialized employment services, and we’re proud to call Terrace our home.
“Diverse-Ability” By, Chris Arnold M.Sc. psych, CESP There is a huge spectrum in the world of disability, from mild to moderate to severe. There is no one kind or type of disability. Some disabilities are visible, such as person with a physical disability and others can be almost impossible to notice, such as a learning disability, an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) or mental health issues.
Many people with a disability are very capable of working. In 2006 Some stats on diversity and unemployment: there were 228,750 working age • The general unemployment rate in BC (2011) was 7.2% British Columbians with a disability • The unemployment rate for immigrants was 7.9% who were not working, even though • The unemployment rate for aboriginals was 14.4% their disability did not completely • The rate of people with disabilities in BC who were prevent them from working. In not in the labour force was 38.5% many cases it’s not the disability that • 1 in 7 British Columbians has a disability. gets in the way of the person being a • 300,000 of those people are working age. • 86% of persons with disabilities rated average or productive and valuable employee, but better on attendance. the assumptions of non-disabled people • 98% of persons with disabilities rated average or who make hiring decisions. better in workplace safety.
A labour market study in 2009 found that BC’s disabled persons were more highly educated than the national average with a higher post-secondary education completion rate. It also found that fewer than 1 in 5 persons with a disability required job redesign and most workplace accommodations that were required involved relatively little cost and did not require major changes to how the work is performed. The fact is that there is no common skill set for all people with disabilities as each person is unique. There is no specific type of job that is perfect for a person with a disability but there are many people with disabilities that are very capable of filling a wide variety of jobs.
Benefits of disability diversity in the workforce With 12.8% of BC’s population (355,430 people) reporting to have a disability, it is a significant segment of our population. This segment is only going to increase as our population ages. People with disabilities and their families and support systems have real purchasing power. They are consumers. They are people that make significant purchasing decisions. People with disabilities are part of our community and should also be part of our workforce. As someone who has been involved in helping people with disabilities become meaningfully involved in the labour force in BC for over 18 years I can attest to the real value of a more diverse workplace. Our agency and other agencies like ours have been involved in story after story of businesses that were hesitant about hiring a person with a disability at first, but after doing so could see the many benefits this diversity added to their workplace. The ripple effects will be seen within the other co-workers, the customers and the larger community when people with disabilities are included in the labour force.
Take action on diversity and disability Ask yourself, as a business person or someone involved in making hiring decisions, what have you done to ensure diversity in your workplace and in particular, disability diversity, “Diverseability”. There are many agencies, programs and services that can help you hire a person(s) with a disability and ensure your workplace reflects the communities it serves. Diversity, in all its forms, is good for business.

20 Years of Success! “PNGI has always been about inclusion and about placing the emphasis on ability (where it should be) rather than on disability.” ~ Chris Jennings, Senior Policy Advisor, Ministry of Social Development
Both the employer and the employee are an important part of the job development process.
OUR FOCUS SETS US APART
BENEFITS OF HIRING THROUGH PNGI
Dual Priority / Dual Focus In Job Development
People with disabilities and their families, friends and support networks all have local purchasing power here in Terrace. Surveys have shown that people like to support businesses that reflect and represent the community they serve. People with disabilities are part of our community. In fact 1 in 7 British Columbians has a disability.
At PNGI we learned very early on, that there are two very important parts to an employer / employee relationship. Traditional employment counselors tend to focus mainly on one side of the equation, which is getting someone from their list employed. Cold calling employers looking for job opportunities without any real understanding of the business they are contacting is an old and one-sided approach. Although most employment programs will claim to provide “a good match for a job”, how can they truly do that if they don’t spend some time specifically learning about the business, the types of jobs and the culture of the workplace?
• PNGI has two decades of experience supporting many different types of jobs in many different industries. We have a long standing, proven track record of success. • PNGI is focused on the needs of the employer, not just the person looking for work and will be sensitive and attentive to your needs.
PNGI has a dual priority and a dual focus. We have proven over the past two decades that this method is successful. Our employment coordinators spend time getting to know a business onsite, doing research, interviews, tours, listening to customer experiences and even being a customer of the business themselves. We are always interested to learn something new about a local business. These efforts don’t always equal a job for someone right away, but that doesn’t make them any less valuable as we never know when that ideal candidate might come through our doors looking for work.
• PNGI is always looking for opportunities to promote the businesses that hire people through our program. Through news stories, our annual calendar, awards, and word of mouth, we will help promote your business locally.
As we are working on developing a job opportunity in a local business, we are very careful to ensure we can outline the benefits to the employer and the business of hiring the person we have in mind. Things like cost benefit analysis, return on investment, and added value are all important to highlight when building a case to hire a person with a disability. We make it our job to show you exactly how you will benefit by diversifying your workforce with help from PNGI.
• People hired through PNGI come with their own experienced job coach / trainer to help ensure solid training and good productivity. This often results in better trained employees at no cost to the new employer.
An employer will hire any employee that brings more value than cost After we successfully help an employer hire someone through our employment program we stay involved to help ensure there is comprehensive training provided for the new employee. In many cases it will be PNGI staff, under the business person’s direction, that provide the training on-site. We also want to ensure productivity and that there is confidence in the new employees’ ability to get the job(s) done before our employment coordinators pull back from the worksite. Even once we are no longer supporting the new employee on the work site we continue to be involved with regular check-ins over the long term. If there are any performance issues, changes in job duties or the nature of the job, PNGI’s employment coordinators will be available to help ensure everything goes smoothly. Both the employer and the employee are an important part of the job development process.
• People with disabilities often have much higher retention rates compared to typically abled employees. Staff turnover costs businesses money – higher retention rates save businesses money.
• In a BC Ministers Council Study, 86% of employees with disabilities rated average or better on attendance. 98% of persons with disabilities rated average or better in workplace safety.
WE DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY Non Traditional Job Development Strategies If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it… but if what you’re doing isn’t working try something different. These are some good words of wisdom to live by. In our work in the employment field with people with disabilities we learned very quickly that many of the old traditional methods of finding employment just weren’t working.
“Definition of Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
~ Albert Einstein We decided to do things differently and have developed a great deal of knowledge and expertise in the area of “Non Traditional Job Development”. In fact we have become so good at it that we have produced toolkits, and training programs that we’ve delivered around the province and across the country! Here are some of the things we do differently: • See networking and using a business approach to job development as being essential. • We make sure we are active and contributing members of our community. • We created a tool called a “Job Seeker Profile” that we use instead of a resume. • We do “Situational Assessments” instead of traditional work experiences. • We write job proposals to businesses instead of sending people through a traditional application process. We are a team of creative people that can figure out ways to get things done for the benefit of local business and people looking for employment who have diverse abilities.

BC heritage fair welcomes local students “We won the most gold medals in Olympic history,” the Grade 8 student beamed. That got her thinking about, and researching, the games as a project. “The most interesting thing I learned was that the medals were made out of recycled metals and computer circuit boards,” she said.
For fellow classmate Budden, a family vacation across Canada sparked an interest in Newfoundland and Labrador. Her project featured photographs of puffins and explanations about the province’s flags and history. With roots in the Kaska Tlingit territory and an artist, Dean Heron, as a father, Her-
on’s exhibit looked at the history of First Nations art and the cultural use of tools. He discovered the impact European settlers and authorities had on aboriginals in B.C. While in B.C.’s capital for the five days leading up to the exhibition, the 80 students and their chaperones toured a number of
educational and heritage sites including the Royal BC Museum, the Parliament Buildings, Fort Rodd Hill, Fisgard Lighthouse and Canada’s oldest Chinatown. This year, the students also toured Ross Bay Cemetery where many of B.C.’s first settlers were buried, including Sir James Douglas and Emily Carr.

Youths gain awareness, self-esteem The annual Youth on the Water program saw 16 young people take one week to raft local rivers for awareness of conservation and to build self-esteem. While rafting on the Kitimat, Skeena and Copper rivers, they saw bears, eagles and salmon running the river and first nation elders welcomed them to their territories. At the beginning of this month, an all women/girls program saw more young people rafting down the Skeena. The programs are run by the Skeena Watershed Coalition.

Youth on the Water participants raft down a local river earlier this summer.
A LOCAL writer now has something to add to the cover of any subsequent printings of his book. It’s the Gold Seal of Literary Excellence and was given to Willy Schneider for his life story, “Such is Life,” in the spring. The seal, which looks exactly like an imprint made by a stamp in melted wax, belongs to the
U.S. Review of Books. It also supplied a book review, a portion of which Schneider can now include on the back cover of his autobiography. Schneider’s story takes in his youth in his native Germany, his experiences as a young soldier in the German army during the Second World War and his time now spent in
Canada. Schneider already has had three printings of the book. It took five years to write and went through six revisions before seeing print. “I would get new ideas and those who were looking at it gave their own ideas,” Schneider said of the writing phase. He has no plans for any further books.

THANK YOU To all of our friends, It is with mixed emotions that we write this letter. On one hand my family and I are looking forward to a new adventure in Abbotsford, but on the other hand we all have a heavy hearts as we prepare to leave our friends in Terrace. The amount of time taken to do our shopping has increased immensely since our departure was announced, as friends come up to us to wish us their best on our move. We will cherish the years we have spent in Terrace. Not only has it been our home for 16 years, it is also the place where our kids Alek, Lara, and Nick were born and raised. Terrace and the whole northwest is a very special place and will always be for our family. We would also like to thank the whole community for the support that you have given to Hawkair. Although we are moving, Hawkair and its 120 people will continue to support the northwest as the whole northwest moves forward with a vibrant economy. Your support of Hawkair has allowed Hawkair to contribute back to the community. Never under estimate the value of having your own local airline. Stop by for a visit if you come to Abbotsford, I know I will do my best to get up to Terrace as often as I can. Thank you for all the kind words – we will certainly miss you.

Northmen shut out Seamen The Terrace Northmen once again acted as staunch defenders of their home turf, dominating the Prince Rupert Seamen in a stunning 36-0 win on July 13 at the Northwest Community College field. “Lots of aggressive play, lots of forward crashes, and great tackles,” said Terrace player Evan van Dyk, noting the biggest contributing factor to the win was the Northmen’s defensive play. “We have been working on our defensive plays a lot this year and it’s really paid off in our games,” he said. “We’ve seen that with a 5-5 game against Williams Lake and shutting out Prince Rupert twice.” Defensive efforts were certainly clear in the game against Prince Rupert, with tackles that turned into turnovers, followed by big runs by the Northmen to boot. But that wasn’t for lack of trying by the spirited Seamen, who came with 15 players from both Prince Rupert and Smithers and added two Northmen to their roster for subs, and never let up. “We competed hard and we played our best, but ultimately we weren’t able to match Terrace,” said Prince Rupert player George Baker, who noted the Northmen are always a challenge to play. “They’re playing Division II rugby and we’re just not at that level,” he said. “They are always competitive, have a good shot at provincials this year and consistently get 30 players out for practice where we don’t have those numbers.” But despite this strong win, the
Northmen concede they still have work to do. “We know that we need more work on our rucking and some of our set plays, the line outs and scrums. If we want a chance to compete with Williams Lake, we need to keep working hard,” said van Dyk. “We are never overly confident in rugby against any team, one try can win a game,” he continued. In this game, Northmen tries were scored by Arlen Fifield (2), Jordy DaCosta (2), Chance Healey, and Tyson Stoochnoff, with Stoochnoff and Don Hill named man of the matches by the Prince Rupert players. And the Northmen are just returning from a roadtrip where they played against the Prince George Gnats and the Williams Lake Rustlers (see next week’s Terrace Standard for those results). At press time, the Northmen were sitting at 2-0-1 in the season, with Prince George at 2-3-0, Prince Rupert at 0-5-0, and Williams Lake at 4-0-1 – meaning two wins would take them to provincials. League play consists of all of the northern teams playing one home and one away game against each other, with the team with the best record representing the North at the Saratoga Cup, Division 3 Provincials in Penticton this September. The Northmen are also gearing up to host the annual Riverboat Days 7s tournament that sees games with lines of seven per side taking to the pitch rather than the traditional 15.

BC Hockey awards Munson City council’s all Terrace hockey player Rhett Munson is one of three high school graduates in the province to be awarded a scholarship from BC Hockey to put towards post-secondary education. The District Scholarship – North West recognizes students who have excelled in both their academic achievements and contributions to their communities and the sport of hockey. Munson made honour roll for all four terms of high school and was a leader on the Terrace Midget Reps’ squad – a team that showed grace under pressure this year after their hopes of travelling to provincials were crushed following a controversial appeal process. But now Munson is off to Okanagan College to study civil engineering, where he will continue to play hockey for fun and fitness. And with his graduation from both hockey and high school, that means his father, Darren, will be taking a step back from TerContributed PHOTO race Minor Hockey – an organization he has been heavily involved in for the past seven Caledonia Secondary School vice-principal Keith years in a number of roles, including board Axelson with Rhett Munson at the school’s graduation member, vice-president, and team manager. award ceremony.
‘bout roller derby THE NORTH Coast Nightmares roller derby team won a different kind of bout last week, this one of the administrative kind. Team representative Jessica Hogg was successful in her request to city council on August 31 to have a $750 rental fee waived for an event scheduled August 31 at the Terrace Sportsplex – a bout against the visiting Dawson Creek team Zero Mile Mercy. “It is our hope to foster a mutually beneficial relationship with the community,” Hogg said as she told council about the growing sport, making note that paying for out-of-town referees and hosting the visiting team can be incredibly expensive. The sport is only a few years old in Terrace, and the hope is that once more people see what the sport is about, more people will join in. Hogg said the team will offer a
sponsorship package to the city in return, and added the Nightmares had donated money from their own fundraising to community programs. Director of leisure services Carmen Didier had already lowered the rink rental from the traditional $1,500 rate, and there was discussion over what kind of precedent waiving the entire fee would set for with regards to future requests. “To me, there is a bit of an issue about where to draw the line,” said mayor David Pernarowski, referencing a previous decision to decline a similar request by the Terrace Motocross Association. But he noted that the Nightmares had strong support around the council table, including councillors Brian Downie and Stacey Tyers, who both spoke in favour of waving the fee.

scrimmage. Currently they use outdoor tennis courts on Kalum, and have used the Hawkair hanger in the past. “There are simply not enough facilities to support roller derby,” Hogg said. The team is also hopeful it might gain access to the Thornhill Jr. Secondary school gym, which has been being used by community sport groups since the school closed last year. Councillor James Cordiero excused himself from the debate and vote, as he employs members of the roller derby team and has financially supported them in the past.

Council green lights roller derby funds “The cost to bring in six refs – even from Prince George – it's quite an expense just because we don't have the capacity here,” said Tyers. “But as they grow the sport, they can grow that capacity.” She also noted it's important for council to support up-and-coming initiatives. “We support a lot of things that have been financially stable for years and I think it's a good idea to support something up-and-coming,” she said, noting it would provide them with the opportunity to showcase themselves to the community, and grow the sport.
