Couple challenges forfeiture request By MARGARET SPEIRS A COUPLE has filed an appeal against an attempt by the provincial government to keep money seized during a police execution of a search warrant earlier this year. Darrell Genaille and Desiree Bolton want $21,380 in Canadian currency and $100 in American currency returned, saying it was seized during a search of a residence at which they don’t live. The attempt to keep the money is being made by the provincial government’s Civil Forfeiture Office which acts to seize property and assets, including money, obtained from activity regarded as illegal even though no criminal charges may have been filed and subsequently proven in court. Court documents filed by the forfeiture office state the seizure took place on or about April 10, 2013 when Terrace RCMP officers obtained a search warrant after receiving information about cocaine being trafficked out of the residence at 4610 Davis Ave.

The money was seized along with a number of items police say was used for selling drugs. The court document filed by the forfeiture office alleges that the money came from purchases of “illegal drugs,” and that the pair “either directly participated in the selling of the illegal drugs or obtained the money directly or indirectly from the sellers of the illegal drugs,” and that the “defendants intended to use the money to purchase illegal drugs,” and “if the money is returned to the defendants, they will likely use it for trafficking in illegal drugs.” The document said the money and proceeds, including interest, should be forfeited immediately and the money and proceeds “be paid into the civil forfeiture account of the [provincial government’s] consolidated revenue fund.” In their denial of the civil forfeiture office’s statement of facts, Genaille and Bolton said they “do not reside at the residence” named on the civil forfeiture documents as 4610 Davis Ave.

They also say that “the money seized from the defendant was not provided by purchasers of substances listed in ... the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act ... at a time prior to or including April 10, 2013. “The money seized from the defendant was obtained in a settlement between the defendant and Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC).” Genaille and Bolton also say the money seized “is intended to be part of a business venture start-up, started by the defendant....When the money seized from the defendant is returned, it will finance the business venture start-up and equipment upgrade for the defendant.” Following the execution of the search warrant and subsequent investigation, Terrace RCMP officers did forward information federal prosecutors with a recommendation to lay charges. But charges were never laid and the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, has not indicated why they were never laid.

‘Summer of 69’ has roots here By AMARA JANSSENS THE FORMER Dog ‘n’ Suds on Lakelse Avenue was a popular hangout for decades, and has special meaning for one Canadian and Juno-award winning song writer—Jim Vallance. Vallance grew up in northern B.C., first in Vanderhoof, before he and his family moved to Terrace, where the nostalgic song about youth and endless days of summer, “Summer of 69,” was partially inspired. “I wrote ‘Summer of 69’ with Bryan Adams for his 1984 album, ‘Reckless.’ We didn’t plan what the song would be about, but after we’d finished the first few lines of lyric it was clear we were writing about our

youth, our school days: first guitars, first bands, first girlfriends, that sort of thing,” Vallance said in an email. The lyrics are incredibly similar to the experience he shared about his time in Terrace. In the summer of 1969, Vallance said he was living in Terrace and had formed his second band with fellow classmates, Alex Iselberg and Howard Froese. He noted his first band was with another set of classmates from Vanderhoof in 1965. “When Bryan sings the line, “I spent my evenings down at the drive-in,” he may have been thinking about drive-in theatres— you know, where you watch a movie from your car—but I was thinking about the Dog ‘n’ Suds on Lakelse Avenue,” Vallance ex-

plained. “I went there a lot, usually with Howard and our friend Ron Ritchie. We’d order fries and root beer and just hang out after school,” he said. “That’s the picture I was seeing when we wrote the ‘drive-in’ lyric.” The summer of 1969 was the first summer the Dog ‘n’ Suds was open, as the official opening was October 12, 1968. Now with the recent selling of the Dog ‘n’ Suds property finalized at the end of June, new owner Don Kirkby plans to turn it into a recreational vehicle campground while paying homage to Vallance’s experience of “Summer of 69” in some way. However for some, the transformation

from drive-in diner to RV campground seems like a dramatic change, despite following pre-determined city zoning regulations. “I’m still struck by this. It seems like an unusual use of the property given what’s on that particular strip. I never thought RV park when I was driving by Sonbadas,” said Terrace city councillor, Bruce Bidgood during the July 8 council meeting. Although most councillors agreed on the uniqueness of the development, they stated that they don’t have much say in how the property can be developed since it fits within the zoning requirements.

WestJet arrives here By AMARA JANSSENS On Monday, July 22 the Northwest Regional Airport in conjunction with WestJet announced that for the first time WestJet will be offering flights between Vancouver and Terrace beginning late November. Twice daily flights on WestJet’s newest Bombardier Q400 NextGen turboprop air-

craft will be offered as of November 25, 2013, and passengers are now able to book flights by visiting www.westjet. com. According to WestJet, the company is pleased to be bringing this service to the Skeena Valley, given the diverse economic projects around the region.

Helicopter shot in mining camp By JOSH MASSEY People who knew the Lakelse Air pilot who suffered what the police report called a “severe emotional breakdown” say they didn’t see it coming. The company’s operation manager said that the employee was also a close friend. “He’s an amazing pilot, I’ve known him for a long time,” said James Carr, “Nobody saw this coming. He’s one of my very good friends so it makes it even harder. This is something that came out of left field.” On July 12, the Dease Lake RCMP detachment flew officers into a Fortune Minerals exploration camp in the Klappan Mountain area, approximately 103 km southeast of Dease Lake, to respond to a call about a pilot shooting a gun at a helicopter owned by his employer, reported police July 18. The man, who according to police had veteranlevel 7,000 hours flying experience, was armed with a shotgun and safety flares, and rode an ATV up and down the camp air strip with witnesses saying they observed him shooting the gun several times at the helicopter and attempting to set it on fire, said police. Corporal Brian Blair, who was one of two police officers flown in to the remote camp, said that there was no violence done except to the equipment, but that there were questions surrounding the shotgun. “It’s part of the ongoing investigation,” Blair said about the fact that the pilot had a gun in the tent with him. “From my understanding, there is only supposed to be one firearm in camp, and that’s part of the investigation.” Blair said that it isn’t unusual for people going into the backcountry to bring a gun for safety. “You know there’s grizzlies and black bears with cubs so it’s not unusual for people to have firearms up here,” he said. “We’re trying to understand it. The pilot is very well respected,” Blair said. The corporal had to ask him several questions on-site and during the flight back, and he said it was a challenge to understand what exactly had caused the unforeseen breakdown. “There was parts of it that was logical but there was the disconnect between what happened and his logic,” Blair said. “It was really an odd situation, because he seems very articulate and very intelligent very hard working, very responsible, but what he was talking about wasn’t tied in to what happened.” Officers arrested the 37-year-old Ontario man without incident and transported him to the Dease Lake RCMP detachment for a full assessment of any medical needs by a medical practitioner. He continued to be assessed by doctors at the end of last week. The man was released from police custody with a promise to appear in court August 27 in Dease Lake with a proposed charge of mischief, said police. Police continue to investigate and said firearmrelated charges may be considered as well.

The addition of Encore service completes another step in becoming the true Northwest Regional Airport,” said airport manager Carman Hendry.

Being a councillor: “labour of love” By JOSH MASSEY The city of Terrace released its statement of financial information (SOFI) recently, so members of the public now have a chance to see what locally elected officials and city staff were paid in 2012. All six Terrace councillors earned $11,983.40 in 2012, one third of that tax free, and averaged $4,301 each in expenses (mainly conference travel costs). Mayor David Pernarowski earned $31,202.60 and spent $5,764.30 on expenses. With the annual cost of living allowance added councillors will earn $12,229 in 2013. Councillor James Cordeiro said it is difficult to calculate exactly how much this remuneration works out to per hour because of intangibles such as spontaneous discussions with citizens in public places, but figures he spends 20-30 hours per week including conferences and travel time. “It works out to about $7.75 to $11 per hour depending on the month,” Cordeiro said, “but I don’t favour raising council pay at this time.” Bruce Bidgood and Marylin Davies also said that working out exact hours is nearly impossible, but that basic job details for council meetings and committees would be 10-15 hours a week. Work time also varies from councillor to councillor, with Brian Downie having by far the largest workload according to Davies. work Councillors day jobs or live on pen-

sions to support what former city councillor Carol Leclerc called a labour of love. “I know I put in a lot of time and I wasn’t retired. I’d be doing two to seven meetings a week. You don’t do it for the money. If you’re in it for the money you are in it for the wrong reason.” Leclerc said that Terrace’s remuneration for city councillors is low compared to other cities because there isn’t a big industrial tax base compared to other towns in the north. “We don’t have an industry tax base like what Kitimat and Prince Rupert have. For that reason I think they are a bit higher than Terrace.” “When you don’t have the tax base it’s really hard to ask the tax payer and business owner for a pay increase when they are already providing most of the revenue for the budget anyway,” Leclerc said. Cordeiro agrees that being a city councillor is a labour of love, and wonders if lower pay might make it difficult for people of more modest means to ever run for council, keeping the reins of power in the hands of those with enough money to support their civic pursuits. Councillors’ pay is set according to a bylaw, and any increase has to go through an official vote and have support within the community. According to city of Terrace corporate administrator Alisa Thompson the pay isn’t solely based on revenue. “The council’s remuneration is not directly

tied to revenues; the salaries are only based on the city’s revenues in a general philosophical sense,” she said. According to councillor Bidgood, the same task force that decided to raise pay for the mayor’s office in 2011 also recommended that a review should be done for councillor pay before this term is over. A record of what mayor and council pay in property tax was also made available recently upon request. Mayor Dave Pernarowski’s tax burden is dropping from $1,661 to $1,609; Marilyn Davies’ is descending from $1,887 to $1,853; while Brian Downie’s will level off at $1,642, down from $1,661 in 2012. Trending upwards are the municipal property taxes paid by Bruce Bidgood and James Bidgood Cordeiro. will be paying $1,730 in 2013 compared to $1,624 in 2012 and Cordeiro’s will rise to $1,700 from $1,611. “For council members whose property taxes went down, this is an indication of lower than average assessments. For further clarity, the City has no control over individual assessments and hence, council cannot influence their own tax bills,” Director of Finance Ron Bowles said.

Aircrane heaves 180 big towers By Josh Massey TEMPERATURES pushed into the mid 30s as the mega helicopter brought in to heft hydro towers along the 344 km Northwest Transmission Line moved along the first of five sections just west of Terrace. To a person standing next to the Erickson Aircrane and feeling the wafts of engine heat as it refuelled, it felt like 45 degrees. The 30-year-old beast of a helicopter that is as long as a semi truck and can lift 20,000 lbs costs $13,500 per hour plus gas (2,000 litres per hour) to run. So the heat is also on to be efficient. According to BC Hydro, it took an estimated 45 hours of airtime to lift in approximately 180 towers in section one near Terrace and part of section five near the Bob Quinn substation. The twin-piloted craft would come down and hook onto one of the 12 towers, each weighing 17,000 lbs, and then haul it to its foundation. Once hovering over the foundation, a crew of nine Valard workers wait to guide the pin into the socket. First, about four of them actually grab the base and sway it back

and forth while the foreman issues radio orders to the pilot. Once the pin is set, then four guy wires are lashed into place extending out to anchors on the corners of the site. Setting the pin, which is only a few inches thick, into the foundation, is the most time-consuming part. The foreman’s directions came in rapid sequence. “Inches, inches! Three low, one low, three low. Inches! Inches! Six low! You’re on the pin!” During the hot day, the clouds of dirt spun up into 100-foot-high columns. Twice the crane returned and set down its load because of difficulties setting the pin. Lineman consultant and guide Dave Mathers said this work is inherently unpredictable. “Five minutes was the shortest and 23 the longest, from when they hook the tower until they cut it,” he said. After getting off to a faster than expected start, the job was delayed early on because of workplace injury, but several productive days brought the pace back up, and the job wrapped up on time last Wednesday, nine days after it started.

Terrace RCMP can investigate web complaints only so far, so the public has to be aware By ANNA KILLEN The Terrace RCMP deal with a wide variety of cyber complaints on a daily basis – from online scams defrauding residents of their money, to online threats, to inappropriate photographs – and while it’s their duty to investigate these instances, the web is deep and there is often not much they can do. That’s why the onus is more and more falling on area residents to browse the Internet safely and responsibly and teach their children to do the same. Criminals on the Internet are like “a big fruit tree and we’re only catching the low hanging fruit,” said Const. Angela Rabut, who returned earlier this year from a police conference that focussed on Internet safety. “[Internet criminals] are good at hiding and we’re not going to catch them. That’s why people need to stop relying on police and take the initiative to protect themselves, protect your passwords, protect your identity.” Rabut also said loss of privacy is one of the main challenges facing society today, with people often dismissing this concern by saying, “I’ve got nothing to hide, it doesn’t matter.” “It’s not a matter of something to hide, it’s a matter of privacy,” she said, noting that there are things called ‘cookies’ that track every keystroke you make on the Internet. “If you were walking around downtown, and someone was watching you and following you, and going into each store watching what you’re buying, normally you would care about that – so why is it different on the Internet?” The difference, she says, is that the Internet is abstract and society hasn’t kept up with how fast the Internet changes. But people need to start realizing that what happens on the Internet, the information you share, and how you present yourself online can have real-life consequences. “There seems to be a distortion between reality and the internet right now, particularly with youth, and the blurring of that line,” she said.

Terrace RCMP Const. Angela Rabut wants citizens to surf the Internet safely. There are programs available to protect your privacy online, the big two being anti-virus software and spyware, she said. There are also apps you can add on to your browser that will delete the cookies as soon as you leave a website. And it’s up to parents to communicate with their children about responsible online behaviour. The Internet isn’t going away, she said, so banning its use isn’t always the best answer. “Parents have to really shift now,” she said. “Instead of stopping it, you have to teach kids to self-monitor and control.”

That includes teaching youth about the kind of stuff that’s appropriate to put online. “Nothing ever goes away,” she said, noting youths need to watch who they befriend online and watch the photos and videos that they post. “This will affect your job, your career choices. I’ve had volunteers that I’ve had to turn away because of what they’ve had on Facebook.” These are problems unheard of even a decade ago, but they are only going to get more complex as things like facial recognition software and location-based tagging

become commonplace, and as the first generation to grow up on the Internet become adults. “Is it going to happen that when they’re 25 and they hit that next level of maturity and they want to go on and do something else, what’s going to happen? Are they going to have to have a whole new identity created because of how much they’ve put on the Internet?” And parents should still monitor their children’s activity online, and there are a wide range of programs available to help them do that – but nothing beats communication, because youths are tech savvy and

can figure out how to get around software quite quickly. Youths can also unknowingly violate the criminal code, for instance if two 16-year-olds exchange inappropriate photographs between each other, that’s not illegal, but if the boyfriend sends the photos to his friends, he is committing a criminal offence of distributing child pornography. Rabut teaches different seminars to parents and youths on Internet safety and how to cope, and says another thing people can do is report suspicious online behaviour to the RCMP for investigation.

Safe Streets Act curbs bad public behaviour By MARGARET SPEIRS THE SAFE Streets Act aims to ensure appropriate behaviour of people in public. This provincially legislated act is relatively new, beginning in 2004, but is used quite often, said Terrace RCMP community policing officer Const. Angela Rabut. It gives police officers a way to stop people from behaving badly in public without having to charge them criminally, which is what would happen before the

legislation came into being, she explained. That way it prevents charges being laid for acts that aren’t necessarily in the public interest to prosecute, she said. “It’s given police tools to use that are more appropriate,” said Rabut about the act. Fines are given to people under the act for soliciting in an aggressive manner or soliciting to a captive audience, such as a person waiting for a bus or at a bank machine, or soliciting a person in a

vehicle or at a named event. Fines are $86 or $115 depending on the violation. There has to be a balance as people have a right to ask for change but people also have the right to walk down the street without being harassed, she said. “The rights of everyone have to be respected,” said Rabut. When a person doesn’t feel safe due to someone soliciting money or something else, that’s considered aggressive. That can include a group of two

or more people following a person, which can be aggressive as soon as the person being followed doesn’t feel a sense of security, she explained. Businesses have a right to make a living and if panhandlers threaten customers, they won’t return. Officers weigh the balance as a person may not be aggressive but if the person is at the doorway of a business all the time, customers may not come to the business. When the act came out, it was extremely controversial as it was

believed that it would target poor people, said Rabut. But the act targets behaviour and not specifically poor people, she added. At the same time, just because someone is poor, it doesn’t give that person the right to behave badly or occupy private doorways, she said. As the Safe Streets Act isn’t part of the criminal code, only police officers can enforce it; private security people or “downtown ambassadors” cannot.

EDITORIAL

Think big LOCAL lottery millionaire Bob Erb’s idea to build a bridge connecting Ferry Island and downtown Terrace as a way to combat increasing rail traffic is sure to see its fair share of critics – but one thing that’s hard to criticize is his ability to think big and play outside of the box. Two weeks ago, while discussing the various new properties Erb has recently purchased in downtown Terrace, he mentioned an offer of $50,000 for Terrace City Council – providing the city put up $100,000 of its own – in order to study the potential for the alternate route. While it’s tough to imagine council accepting this monetary challenge, considering the city’s tight coffers and its reasoned insistence that CN and the province play a role in paying for traffic solutions tied to the railway, it’s his verbal challenge that warrants a response. “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 ... Their vision is to keep it the quaint little town they grew up in and let the fast paced world pass by.” But it’s worth noting that council made a “big town decision” just this month with regards to recycling and garbage pickup. The move won’t happen until next year, but it’s a start, and is an example of the kind of big action local residents want. Terrace is a hub city, and growing fast. It’s nice to see council continuing to grow with us. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Googling to grow tomato plants

eing neither Lois Hole nor Brian Minter, when my two tomato plants grew as differently as Schwarzenegger and DeVito in “Twins”, I pondered Why? A height of 24 inches satisfied the cherry tomato plant. It quickly branched out around the base, and within days replaced blossom clusters with clumps of tomatoes. Beside it, a Mr. Stripey tomato plant shot up like Jack’s beanstalk, growing ever higher, blossomed energetically here and there, but soon the blooms withered. Nary a tomato appeared. Why the exceptional height? And why no sign of a tomato? Gardeners suggested hanging a sun catcher or importing a flowering annual irresistible to bees. I browsed an end-ofseason potting plant display and bought a purple petunia. Bees ignored it. I returned to Google. A cursory check identified my Stripey as a beefsteak heirloom tomato known to attain a height of 10 feet! Already it was either wield a hatchet and decapitate the plant or raise the greenhouse roof.

THROUGH BIFOCALS

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI One Google website led to another until I found “How to prune a tomato plant” by pinching off suckers. Poised to pinch, I advanced on my unsuspecting beanstalk. In another Youtube, tantalizingly titled “Spank Your Tomatoes for Bigger Harvests”, Reaganite71 posed in front of his tomato hedge bragging about his 66 tomatoes on eight plants early into the season. He advises rolling up a newspaper and lightly spanking the stems of tomato plants, their wire cages, or stakes to distribute the pollen of strains that trust their pollination to wind. Use only the flat part of the news-

paper roll or you can bruise the stems. He also advises spraying blossoms with apple juice; methane from the juice helps set the blossoms and hasten maturity. Serendipitously, a day or two after my Google search the New York Times published Carl Zimmer’s review article, “Unravelling the Pollinating Secrets of a Bee’s Buzz”. This article explains why tapping stems with a newspaper or using an electric toothbrush might stimulate tomato production. Studies are being done by scientists in Scotland, Nevada, and Arizona to determine exactly how bees pollinate plants. It turns out, there’s more to bees’ tactics than inadvertently rubbing their furry bodies on one flower after another while searching for nectar. Plants like tomatoes, potatoes and cranberries that offer insects pollen rather than nectar as food, hide their pollen in tubes too deep to be accessible by just any insect. Bumblebees clamp their jaws on the tube like an angry pit bull and rev their buzzing like a lawnmower attacking too thick grass shaking the tube hundreds of

S TANDARD

times a second. If they didn’t hang on tight, they could fling themselves off the blossom. The pollen grains loosened by the bee’s vibrations bounce up and down in the tube until they gain so much energy they blast out of the tube in a cloud. Pollen grains from the cloud stick in the bee’s fur where they tuck most of the grains in damp clumps on their legs to carry back to the hive as larvae food. But bees lose some pollen grains. These are rubbed off on the next flowers they visit. Plants that deliberately grow tubes too long for the average insect such as spiders to steal their pollen thus assure wider propagation of their species. Only bumblebees can achieve this 330 Hz vibration level; even honey bees cannot. Yesterday I ate the first fruit of my labour – three cherry tomatoes. Several more will ripen in a day or so. As for Mr. Stripey, I may have been overzealous, pruning stems that might have produced more blossoms. But if the plant produces a dozen beefsteak-sized tomatoes, it will be acceptable return for an $8 investment.

The Mail Bag Antique guns worth thousands

Dear Sir: Regarding your story in the July 10, 2013 edition of The Terrace Standard on the RCMP gun amnesty. As a firearm collector, I was amazed to see both black powder guns with trigger locks on them. The flintlock needs priming powder for the flash pan and a flintstone to ignite it. Then into the barrel goes more black powder the lead ballwadding pushed down – with a ramrod. Hardly the type of gun for a hold up. The replacement value for both antiques could easily exceed $3,000 – unless they're replicas. Gun museums would have gladly have accepted them. Fire arms were not always used in wars ect. but for survival and it's the person that pulls the trigger who should be blamed. Peter Weissner, Terrace, B.C.

Alternate energy sources better than LNG Dear Sir: I could not refuse to write a comment on your article in the July 10, 2013 issue of The Terrace Standard, “Open houses critical to success” regarding a public presentation by Shell concerning its planned Canada LNG plant at Kitimat. I’m since March 2012 with a group of concerned Yukoners about oil and gas exploration and a promoter and installer of all kinds of alternative energy sources here in Yukon.

We have several engineers and economist in our ranks and I’ve personally done a lot of research on this issue basically all my life and I’m now 69. Please inform yourself. There are readily available clips from public meetings organized by concerned people who think about the future of our planet – the only one we have to live right now. Green washes and lies. LNG is the worst of all fossil fuels because of the uncontrollable escape of methane into the

atmosphere from leaking well casings and the opening up from the shale formation to naturally occurring fissures and fault lines, by the brute force of hydraulic fracturing, in the underground geology to the surface. Methane is in a 20-year period 105 times more potent as a green house gas than CO2 and in a 100year time frame still more then 20 times. How many more severe weather disasters does it take for this people to wake up and stop this insanity?

Do they have no heart, no conscious mind about the future of there children or the future of this planet? Do they really only see dollar signs in front of their eyes? People stand up. These are crimes against humanity, these so-called business leaders should be in jail for the devastation they inflict on our environment. We as taxpayers pay the bill at the end for the clean-ups and the rebuilding and eventually with our

life’s and the life’s of future generations. Start putting solar panels on your roofs, wind turbines on your mountain tops, earth loops in the ground connected to heat pumps to keep your homes comfortable. If you can’t afford it create cooperatives to build larger projects. The technology is proven and readily available and the cost is coming down rapidly because it gets more and more mass produced. Werner Rhein, Whitehorse, Yukon

So how many LNG plants will be open by 2018?

am not prone to being confused – at least not yet – but there are times when our august governing bodies leave me feeling so. One example is the newly reelected BC Liberal government. During the year-long reelection campaign Christy Clark promised one operational LNG plant on the North Coast by 2015 and three by 2020. But, as I noted in an earlier column, when post-election she appointed Rich Coleman as LNG supremo that schedule was gone. Which made perfect sense to me. Parties seeking to govern promise all sorts of things but if successful are often quick to forget those promises. That, for better or worse, is politics. Then the provincial government brought down its June budget update and went where even it had not bravely gone before when

it came to projected dates for operational LNG plants in B.C. I refer specifically to the top right hand corner of page 54 which I will quote at length. “The Ministry of Natural Gas Development engaged independent consultants to conduct studies examining the potential employment impacts and new provincial revenues from LNG development in B.C.” So far, so reasonable. Then came this. “The studies assumed five LNG plants ... and most plants fully operational by 2018.” Let’s be kind and interpret “most” as being just three, the minimum number that allows you to use that word. So we went from three operational by 2020 to three operational by 2018, two years earlier? Huh? Did I miss something? But the confusion level really cranked up when I read a submit-

GUEST COMMENT

MALCOLM BAXTER ted article by Supremo Coleman in the July 2 edition of the Kitimat Northern Sentinel. Right now there are three proposed LNG plants in Kitimat: BC LNG, Kitimat LNG and Shell’s LNG Canada.

Coleman says BC LNG “could become the first facility to export LNG from BC’s north coast.” I don’t disagree and it should be able to hit the new 2018 target with time to spare. On Kitimat LNG Coleman describes it as “moving forward”, but sidesteps putting any date on it. Let’s be generous and assume that Chevron/Apache are able to sign up customers and give the project the green light within the next 12 months. That should allow them to hit the target date as well. Two down, one to go. But that one - LNG Canada will miss the target, according to Coleman. “The facility could begin exporting LNG in 2019”, he says, but even then adds “provided all timelines are met.” So logically the third-plantby-2018 the budget update talks

about must be in Prince Rupert. That is one heck of a stretch given those proposals all have to get an export permit, get through the environmental assessment process, consult and accommodate First Nations, find customers and then build the facility. And I don’t think for one minute Coleman believes that can be done in just five years, which is doubtless why he never mentioned the budget update target in his article. So on the one hand the government through the budget update suggests one thing and the man in charge of actually bringing home the LNG bacon says another. Hey, wait a minute, it’s not me that’s confused, it’s the government. Which makes me feel much better. Retired Kitimat Northern Sentinel editor Malcolm Baxter now calls Terrace home.

Passenger numbers continue to climb By AMARA JANSSENS The Northwest Regional Airport’s passenger numbers are sky high for the first half of this year, and according to airport manager, Carman Hendry, that number will continue to climb. At the end of June, the airport saw 14,730 passengers since January, up 24.8 per cent for the same period last

year. Hendry credits most of this growth to the northwest industrial projects that are seeing high volumes of workers travelling to Terrace, often on shift work. With workers flying into town for the Northwest Transmission Line, Forest Curve Mining Project, Kitimat Modernization Project and LNG, high passenger flow shows no sign of slowing down in the

foreseeable future. “KMP...with the coming peak for construction workers in September, we’re expecting that number to rise until the end of the year,” Hendry surmised. “Everything’s maintaining these numbers,” he said. The high numbers put extra pressure on the airport to develop their 20-year master plan. AirBiz, an airport

consulting company based out of Australia was hired at the end of June to help design the plan and vision. AirBiz has until January 2014 to present

their report, but Hendry already knows some of the areas that will need to be addressed. Areas such as baggage screening will need to double in size,

and the passenger holding room will need to be expanded to accommodate more than 120 passengers it currently holds. Additionally, Hen-

dry hopes to see better logistical control on the apron, with potentially a new layout of the tarmac to avoid congestion with increased plane traffic.

Real estate activity up from last year By AMARA JANSSENS

Real estate activity continues to pick up in the area with not only higher price points but more on the market too. The average price for a residential detached house is $235,000, compared to $211,733 last year. At the same time, 104 properties were on the market at the end of June, up from 92 last year. MLS statistics indicate the 180 properties sold during the first six months of this year had a value of $39.7 million compared to the $29 million for the 150 properties sold for the first six months of 2012. Half of the 104 single family homes that sold were sold for less than $235,000. Terrace Remax principal John Evans did note that listings are down compared to last year – from 207 to 204 – a sign that people are staying because of better economic conditions and are not leaving. At the same time, more people are arriving and buying homes which then reduces the number of homes on the market, he said. “And we are going to need new stock,” Evans said. “I predict within a year we’re going to see a shortage.” On average it took 58 days for a single family home to sell in the first six months of this year. But since the spring some homes have been selling within several days of going on the market. “The big thing we’re seeing here, market in spring boomed...prices have really gone up,” Shannon McAllister, owner of Terrace Real Estate Company said. However McAllister cautioned that the prices of homes are influenced by many factors, such as the economy, the motivation of seller, the neighbourhood, and the extent of upgrades to the house. And with the higher price trend Terrace is currently seeing, the dynamic of who can afford to buy has

changed. McAllister explained that last year a first time home buyer could expect to find a house in the $170,000 to $200,000 price range, while this year those same houses are priced between $220,000 and $280,000. With higher prices, more capital is needed for a down payment, and it becomes more beneficial to have a down payment greater than the five per cent minimum, as there is a greater amount being charged interest. With any purchase in the housing market, a bit of caution is always wise. “I don’t know if these projects or these projects will go through,” McAllister said, as the speculation of big work projects has driven the prices up somewhat. “Be careful,” she said. “Watch what you are paying for the neighbourhood.” Real estate boards and banks in Canada have in place stricter regulations on what houses can be sold for, since the real estate crash of 2008 in the United States. McAllister said that banks will not approve the mortgage of a house purchased for substantially higher than the appraised value, and said more appraisals are being conducted in light of 2008. In Terrace she said she is not seeing a huge difference between the appraisal prices (although realtors are not always shown these figures), to the list price, and to the sold price, and said most prices are realistic. But that’s not always the case. “Some are overpriced, I feel confident saying that,” she said. In the Terrace market, anything over $300,000 becomes a different ballgame. Buyers need to be more qualified, meaning they tend to be two income families who are moving up the real estate ladder. McAllister also said higher priced homes are also being purchased by out of town clients who tend

to be company supervisors and executives relocating to Terrace with their families. According to McAllister, these clients are willing to pay

over $300,000, as they typically come from markets where prices are much higher, such as in Vancouver and Calgary. In the meantime,

Evans noted that it is still cheaper to buy than to build. “Right now for $350,000 you can buy a very nice house in a nice neighbourhood

that’s 20 years old. To rebuild that very same house, it will cost you $450,000. Right now, someone may not be prepared to pay that premium”

Despite the higher prices Terrace is seeing, McAllister said it is still in an investors best interest to purchase a home instead of renting.

Fee to keep old meter Police called out to shots fired By Tom Fletcher

People who insist on refusing new wireless electrical meters can keep their old mechanical meter as long as it lasts, if they pay a monthly fee, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced Thursday. Customers can keep their mechanical meters until they break down, their Measurement Canada accuracy seal expires or the customer relocates, the ministry said in a statement. The mechanical meter option is added to an earlier compromise with BC Hydro customers who still don’t have a digital smart meter, which transmits power consumption and status via radio signals. Customers can have a digital meter with its transmission function turned off, or keep their old meter, as long as they pay the cost of having the meter read manually. Bennett said the cost of meter reading will be about $20 a month. Customers who accept a deactivated smart meter will also pay a fee of about $100 to have it adjusted. The fee to keep a mechanical meter will be higher, because it will require a separate system to manually record and bill for power consumption, Bennett said. NDP energy critic John Horgan said he is pleased that the proposed fees will be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission before being implemented. The opt-out provision should have been made available from the start, instead of rushing to meet the government’s artificial deadline to install smart meters, Horgan said. BC Hydro reports that 60,000 smart meter installations have been delayed due to customer request, while 1.8 million or 96 per cent of customers now have a functioning smart meter. Some people persist in the belief that the radio signals from smart meters are a health hazard, despite the fact that the periodic meter signals represent a tiny fraction of the radio frequency exposure from a mobile phone call.

Bennett said mechanical meters are obsolete, and eventually every customer will have a smart meter, whether it transmits or not. “When somebody’s

analog meter wears out, stops working or comes to the end of its useful life, there are no analog meters to reinstall,” Bennett said. “You can’t buy them anywhere.”

TERRACE RCMP officers were called out to a complaint about people firing off a cap gun at the Keystones at 11:21 p.m. July 13. Officers found the people making the noise with the cap gun and spoke to them, said Terrace RCMP inspector Dana Hart.

Officers responded to 62 complaints in a 48hour period, Saturday and Sunday, July 13 and 14, he added. As far why there were so many calls, Hart said it’s due to summer, warm weather, and people being disrespectful of others.

Nishga Girl has place in our history after all By Martina Perry THE CANADIAN Museum of Civilization decided the Nishga Girl has a place in Canadian history. Following public outcry over the museum’s plans to remove the Nishga Girl from the Canada Hall, representatives from the Canadian Museum of Civilization met with stakeholders who donated and transported the boat. Mark O’Neill, president and CEO of the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and Chantal Schryer, the museum’s vice-president of public affairs, met with boat donator and Nisga’a Chief Harry Nyce, his wife Deanna and Ken Noma, president of the National Association of Japanese Canadians, in Winnipeg on July 8. O’Neill said the meeting was very constructive. “We concluded together after consulting and talking it out that the Nishga Girl can have a home and present a very important history in the future Canadian Museum of History,” he said. “This particular boat has taken on a far greater meaning, and far greater symbolism than perhaps people here at the mu-

seum thought.” The Nyces donated the 8.3-metre wooden gillnetter to the Canadian Museum of Civilization in 1998 to represent the West Coast fishing industry. Nyce fished on the waters of the West Coast with the Nishga girl from 1968 to 1990. When Nyce was informed the museum was giving his old boat away, he was disappointed. “I couldn’t find any words,” he said. “I knew in the back of my mind that we weren’t going to let this happen.” The Nishga Girl was built by Jack Tasaka, a Japanese-Canadian boat builder who lived in Port Edward. The National Association of Japanese Canadians raised money to have the boat transported to the Canadian Museum of Civilization in the late ’90s. Noma told the Ottawa Citizen the decision to give away the Nishga Girl was an insult, and was upset the organization wasn’t consulted prior to the decision. Following last week’s meeting, both Nyce and Noma are happy the Nishga Girl will remain at the museum. Nyce said he was pleased with the tone of the gathering.

THE NISHGA Girl will remain on display in the redeveloped Canada Museum of History. “[Museum representatives] were very respectful at the meeting. They apologized many times for the mistake,” said Nyce, who wore full hereditary chief regalia to the affair. The Nishga Girl will continue to represent the role the salmon industry had in the development of the West Coast. The boat will also tell the stories of the Nisga’a and Japanese-Canadian communities and how they helped each other in difficult episodes of history. The Canadian Museum of Civilization announced its intentions to remove the boat from the Canada Hall in June, stating it wouldn’t fit into the museum after its redevelopment into the Canadian Museum of History expected to be completed in 2017. The museum planned to donate the Nishga

Girl to the North Pacific Cannery Historical Site in Port Edward.

Nisga’a Museum makes copy of 100-year-old button blanket A 100-YEAR-OLD button blanket is getting a new life as the Nisga’a Museum makes a reproduction of it. The museum is creating a full-scale replica of a button blanket from the Laxgibuu (wolf) tribe of the Nisga’a Nation. “We are making it so that it can be handled and part of our ‘education collection,’ said museum director Darrin Martens, adding that although the museum also has the original, the reproduction will let visitors see how these types of blankets were made traditionally. The original blanket was repatriated to the Nass Valley in 2010 from the Royal British Columbia Museum as part of the historical Nisga’a Treaty. It is currently at the Canadian Conservation Institute in Ottawa being cleaned and repaired so that it can be put on display under glass at the Nisga’a Mu-

seum “so that visitors and schoolchildren can see the differences and similarities between the two and why taking care of things is so vitally important,” said Martens. The history and narrative behind the original button blanket are unique: the “people at [the] time of [the] story were starving. The chief went hunting and saw a gaunt wolf which came up to him. The wolf was gaunt because he could not chew, having a bone stuck in the roof of his mouth. On seeing this, [the] chief immediately extracted the bone. Wolf then started talking and said that when the man heard wolf howl, he was to come to the place where the howling was going on. “One day, chief heard [a] long howl and immediately went to [that] place. He found the wolf and near him some mountain sheep and two bear which wolf said he must take

home. This was in payment for the operation. This did not happen on the upper Nass but somewhere between Prince Rupert and Inverness.” According to one of Dr. Charles S. Newcombe’s notebooks in the Royal British Columbia Museum archives, the blanket was originally sold to Newcombe in 1911 from Henry Smart of Gingolx. In discussions with Bill Moore (Sim’oogit Duuk) of the Laxgibuu, a descendant of Smart and symbolic owner of the image and its story, approval was granted to create a replica of the original button blanket. Fran Johnson, the museum’s manager and a member of the Laxgibuu, will lead the project, and will be assisted by two summer students from Laxgalts’ap. “We want the blanket to [look] like the original piece, so therefore we are using a

Fall fair offers events for all THE SKEENA Valley Fall Fair returns again with all the fun from last year and a few new things that are hoped to be there too. New volunteer Ted Ramsey was quite impressed with the return of the fair last year and when asked if he would get involved, said absolutely he’d volunteer. “There’s quite a col-

lection of cool people who decided to keep the fall fair going,” he said. Ramsey enjoyed the fair in the 30-plus years it ran before it took a five year break, adding it takes a community to organize and enjoy it. This year’s theme is Celebrate Local to honour the resurgence in local, backyard and sustainable food growing

going on here and increasing in recent years. “I’ve always wanted to see the RC (remote control) hobby plane guys,” he said, adding that there’s quite a lot of permissions involved for remote control planes to have a demonstration or to just be on hand at the fair. A hayride is planned, the Totem Saddle Club

will hold its fall fair show, 4-H shows are set to go, the cow patty drop, which was a big hit last year may turn into a goat patty drop, the ping pong ball drop returns and all the exhibits of fruits, vegetables and others will take place. Vintage cars will be on hand to see and hopefully vintage trac-

tor owners will bring theirs there too, he added. New this year, the Thornhill Jr. Secondary gym and Thornhill Community Hall will be used as indoor exhibit and vendor places. Categories have been expanded for adults and children and more demonstrations, events

there’s lots for children and people of all ages to enjoy at the fall fair this year.

Local theatre wins two awards TERRACE LITTLE Theatre won two awards at the provincial theatre festival in Kamloops after an accident on the way there nearly stopped the production from going on. Its production of Perfect Pie “brought the house down when Erica Wilson and Melayna Ross, festival darlings, shared the Best Novice or Youth Award for their portrayal of two girls from opposite sides of the tracks aging from eight to 16 years,” said director Marianne Weston upon their

return from Mainstage 2013. “Their hard-hitting yet heart-warming production of Canadian theatre icon Judith Thompson’s “Perfect Pie” garnered a standing ovation.” The show was almost pulled down when actors Laura and Melayna Ross, mother and daughter, hit a moose outside Prince George, totalling their van and injuring both, who went on to deliver solid performances to a large house, said Weston. Throughout the week, the ensem-

ble received daily accolades in the streets and at the festival events, she added. Despite being up against some very stiff competition, the show also won a “Thespian” for Best Lighting for designer Eryn Griffith and operator Trina Botelho. Terrace has twice before captured the Best Novice or Youth Award: Dale Sebastian in “Someday” by Skeena River Players directed by Marianne Weston and for Ella Martindale in TLT’s “The Secret Garden” directed by Chris Stone in 2007.

No playoffs for Northmen The Terrace Northmen rugby club suffered two disappointing losses on the road two weekends ago, taking them out of playoff contention. After a strong season that saw them beat and tie their toughest competitors, the Prince George Gnats and the Williams Lake Rustlers, at home, the Northmen couldn’t do the same on the road, losing a 17-14 squeaker Friday night against Prince George, and getting blown out 56-0 by Williams Lake the following day. “Williams Lake was an utter blowout,” said player Evan van Dyk. “They got quite a few by us.” Losing in that fashion was a surprise, he said. “But we knew we were going to be up against it heading there for a game after playing Prince George the night before.” The loss against Prince George was heartbreaking – the Gnats scored with 30 seconds left in the game, after two 40 minute halves. Tries were scored by John Warcup and Jamie McKinstrie and both were converted by Tyson Stoochnoff. Man of the matches, as called by Prince George, belonged to Stoochnoff and Jordan Schibli. But the Northmen lost two players from their 19-player roster during the game against Prince George – Jordy DaCosta who was the team’s Scrum Half, and Don Hill, whose presence would have helped against some of the Rustlers’ bigger players. Provincial-bound Williams Lake has an incredibly strong rug-

by program, with decades of players coming through high school and the men’s and women’s teams. This year three Williams Lake teams (men’s, women’s and senior’s) swept the Williams Lake Stampede tournament for the first time in its 35 year history. The tournament sees about a dozen men’s teams come up from the Lower Mainland and the Island to play highly competitive rugby. “After hearing that news, we knew we were going to have a tough game,” said van Dyk. “They are a very good team and playing at home means you have more subs and are better prepared.” But the team is taking the loss in stride and using it as ammo for next year. “We already look forward to continuing to improve and to give them a run next year,” he said. “Williams Lake definitely reminded us what rugby is all about, after beating us on the field they hosted us at their club house for a big barbecue dinner and social event where they announced our man of the matches were Tyson Stoochnoff and Jonathan Doane.” The Northmen still owe the Prince Rupert/Smithers team a game – the format adopted this year has teams playing one home game and one away game against every team, with the team with the best record going on to provincials – although as far as stats go, it won’t make a difference in who goes to the playoffs.

■■ Riding tall Here’s rider Danielle Sexton and horse, Hayden. Sexton and Hayden recently competed at the BC Heritage Circuit Finals in Kamloops July 5-7. Her first time competing at this level, and the first time a Terrace rider has been to the event in years, she won two Grand Champions, a Reserve Champion, and a fourth in Dressage. In Flat/Hack she received a Reserve Champion, two fourths and a sixth. Sexton also has the distinction of being the rider who travelled the furthest to the event, said her mother, Alice Sexton. “Huge accomplishment,” she said. “Many horse shows to get there. Special thanks to her coach Natasha Candelora of Northern Warmbloods in Terrace.” Candelora is also the breeder and owner of Hayden.

‘It should have been a gold’ says Heinricks Terrace's wrestling mogul Allan Heinricks is back from nationals with a trio of new medals for his display case – and although he's proud of his results, he can't stop thinking about the bronze medal that was almost a gold. “It should have been a gold,” he said, of the Disabled Men's Right 70 kg match that took place at the National Arm Wrestling Championships in Timmons, Ontario June 28 to July 1. “I had less than half an inch to win and my elbow slipped off – twice.” He says this half-jokingly, as is his nature. Heinricks isn't one to be seriously discouraged by a misstep.

But his competitive-streak always shines the brightest, and it's clear he really wanted that gold. But, he still received gold in the Grand Masters Men's Right 90+ kg, and a silver in the Men's Right 90 kg, meaning he's qualified for worlds in Poland – a competition he'll go to if he can raise enough money or gain the sponsorship of a community group or two. He's also looking to get a Terrace arm wrestling charity endorsed, which should help him with funding. Perhaps part of his frustration with the bronze that should've been a gold is that this is one of the first competitions in a while he's felt

almost 100 per cent. A foot injury and a series of unfortunate events at worlds last year had him down on his luck – but he's back now and ready to train with other arm wrestlers in Prince George and Vancouver, though he wishes he had someone to try out new techniques on. “Technique is the biggest thing,” he said, noting he's not always fast enough at the start of a match, mostly because of the paralyzed half of his body. “I lose because they're faster than me – I've gotta get the technique to slow them down ... without technique, strength means nothing.” And while the Timmons airport wasn't the most

wheelchair accessible – Heinricks' tournament success often hinges on how comfortable he is, which often has to do with how mobile he's able to be – he said he was relieved to learn that one of the organizers of the tournament had arranged for a local woman with a wheelchair accessible van to chariot him around. “I was so happy and relieved,” he said. Next up, he's looking to Gdynia, Poland at the beginning of September, or the Sweden Golden Arm in February of next year if that doesn't pan out. And, as always, he's grateful for the support of the community who helps

U17’s take silver at Les Sinnott Phillips at Memorial Boys Provincial Cup provincials In provincial soccer, what was formerly called the Boys Provincial B Cup is now the Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial Cup – in honour of Terrace’s late Les Sinnott, who was passionately involved in provincial soccer, who passed away last year. And seeing as this is the first year the tournament was played in his honour, it’s only fitting that a Terrace soccer team would do well for the first time since 2009. Terrace’s U17 Boys soccer team travelled to Prince George for the tournament, held July 4 - 7, alongside many other Terrace teams and more than 800 players from around the province. The team, who has been together since they were U11’s, hadn’t medaled at a tournament since 2009, where the team won gold. But this year was different. The tournament started off the round robin with a game against Vernon on Thursday, which they won 2-0. On Friday, the team took it 2-1 to West Vancouver, a solid game against a solid team. On Friday, they went up against Surrey – one of the best teams in the tournament. The highlight for Terrace came when they tied the game 1-1, but then Surrey scored off a bouncing ball in the six-yard box to win it 2-1. Next up, the team met Nelson, which they shut out 2-0, before falling to Juan de Fuca in the final game of the tournament. “Our boys were pretty well done by then,” said co-coach Calvin Struyk, noting the team’s defence was particularly strong. “We only have 15 players on our team and the core was pretty done.” But the second place finish is still impressive – and reaffirming for the veteran team who hadn’t seen success like they were once used to. “[The placing] was good for them as a team, for their morale,” he said. Especially considering that this could

Terrace Blueback swimmer Brayden Phillips recently travelled to the AAA provincial championships in Vancouver, gaining a wealth of experience he can use next year. “I’m pleased with his results,” said coach Mike Christensen. “He had a great opportunity to go through a number of new experiences including: competing at the highest level provincially, competing in an outdoor pool, competing head-to-head with athletes a year older than him, and extending his training season by a month longer than in previous years.” He still has one more year in his age category, 11 and under, and looking at the other 10-year-olds who competed he finished 4th 200 Breast, 4th - 50 Free, 5th - 200IM, 2nd 400IM, and 5th - 100 Breast. “He is solidly on track for next season,” said Christensen, noting the fresh perspective high level competitions provide young athletes, as well as future confidence gained knowing they belong in that elite group.

And as is typically the case for northwest teams, the tournament itself was a learning experience. “One of the challenges we have up here is we don’t get a lot of competitive games against other teams,” he said. Struyk’s co-coach Steve Turner points

rairie people know that a great domed vault of blue sky in the West followed by clouds spinning off the Rockies foretell the arrival of dry, warm winds that whip off the winding sheets of winter. They call the vault the Chinook arch and know it betokens a Chinook sky and the Chinook winds that will melt lake ice at a rate of an inch an hour, turning a bitterly cold February morning into June by noon. Perfect hurricanes, Alexander MacKenzie dubbed them, when he felt their respite for the first time. There are Chinook on the other side of the Rockies too. They are the first salmon of the year to come home, not so startling an event as the meteorological phenomenon on the other side of the mountains, to be sure, but one imbued with mystery and charged with a moving, slow-moving drama. It’s only appropriate these salmon should be the first to return since their name is rooted in tsinuk, which meant “village” or “ home” in the language of the First Nations people who lived on the shores of the lower Columbia River and were known to themselves and others as the Chinook People. The Chinook were a sea-faring people who traded far and wide, returning home after long voyages with goods and gifts much like the largest of the Pacific Salmon, which return home packed with nutrients from the sea and are in and of themselves

out that when Terrace teams travel to provincials, teams from down south have played a full season with 40 - 50 games whereas our teams have only played six or seven. Turner’s proud of his team for the success and appreciative of the support system – coaches and team managers – who’ve been together since the beginning. “All the players did really well,” he said. “It’s a whole team effort.”

No playoffs for Northmen

The game should be played in Smithers mid-August. The new format will likely stick around next year – the BC Rugby Union says they want to see that the region has competed to go to provincials, meaning there has to be set guidelines. “All four teams have really enjoyed the sense of purpose for the games, it allowed us to see more players commit to practice and travel than just social games would,” he said. And the annual Riverboat Days Sevens Tournament – that sees teams of seven as opposed to the traditional 15 take to the pitch for a faster game – is set for Saturday, August 3 in the afternoon at NWCC field.

Chinook

Did you ever go fishing in the Chuk or Saltchuk? Well, if the seas were heavy enough to pitch your craft about like a pitiful piece of flotsam, you know what it is to be a sea in the skookumchuk, or heavy seas, since chuk is Chinookan for water. And what of those high muckamucks, those factotums who try to impress us all. Muckamuck to a Chinook meant food. In the era of the potlatch, having plenty of food enabled you to be a big time distributor – food was power. A high muckamuck was a food baron, a kind of aboriginal Ray Kroc or Colonel Saunders and a force to be reckoned with. Similarly, a skookum-house was a euphemism for a jail, and the generous and caring were said to have a skookum tumtum or big heart. Chinook is replete with sensible onomatopoeia s: besides tum-tum for heart, there was tik-tik to signify telegraph and chik-chik meant wagon wheel. Tyee meant ‘big boss” to a Chinook, thus Tyee Papa was Chinook for God, as in Tyee papa, mahsie klashe muckamuck which twists French, Salish, Chinook and Nootka into a braid that means, “thank you, God, for the food we’re about to eat.” Many of you tilicums, or friends, out there, will know that Tyee is also Western Canadian parlance for really big Spring or Chinook salmon – skookum chinooks – the subject of my column next week. Until then, Klahowya Tillicums.

SUMMER TUNE UP

Couple’s money held The provincial forfeiture office can still seize and dispose of property through civil action where requirements are not as stringent as those found in criminal court cases. Genaille and Bolton have also filed a complaint against the RCMP through the Commission for Public Complaints. “This application will be requesting charges against RCMP members as they conducted illegal activities against Mr. Genaille and Ms. Bolton, violating their rights and freedoms,” indicate documents filed by the couple. They say any evidence used from the RCMP file about them violates their rights and freedoms that they are guaranteed and that the claim by the forfeiture office “is being based on accusations and not facts...and granting this claim without facts is a crime against” them. Items found and seized during the search included the money, which was in a bag in the master bedroom closet; an “I Love Santa” bag in a basket in the same closet containing 15 grams of cocaine split into two bags; 19 pre-made “flaps,” small individually wrapped amounts; a weigh scale

with cocaine residue; and a spoon next to the weigh scale, continued the document. A cigarette package with five flaps of cocaine, each with 0.4 grams of the drug, was found on a table beside a couch in the living room; a wallet containing $480 in Canadian currency and various pieces of identification for Genaille was in the centre console of the couch along with eight flaps; a folder containing sheets used to record drug transactions was behind a couch; a Motorola cell phone and a Blackberry cell phone were on a table beside the couch in the living room. Two iPhones were on the couch and a baggie from a living room closet appeared to have cocaine residue on it, said the document. A bag with marijuana residue and a scale was found in the bathroom, a baton was found in the kitchen and various documents were found in both Genaille’s and Bolton’s names. Early last year, two houses believed to house grow-ops were forfeited, the first time in Terrace, after one case was dropped a week before the trial and charges were not approved on the other case.

Diner has famous past “It does meet the zoning of the property, zone C3, and that does allow recreational vehicle campground use and that’s why there’s no rezoning required for this,” said councillor Stacey Tyers. Kirkby plans to have the RV park development and renovations completed by the end of summer, which will see 14 RV lots and will be open year round. Work has already begun, including the excavation of the land behind the existing building. Kirkby said each lot will have full service, meaning there will be electricity, water and sewer.

From front

The existing building will see extensive renovations take place over the next few months to include shower facilities, a laundromat and office. The current overhang, where cars use to ‘drive-in’ is set to become a covered barbeque pavilion, with picnic tables and barbeques for guests of the RV park. Landscaping will also take place, with a hedge and fence to be installed at the front of the property, along Lakelse Avenue. Kirkby said he was inspired to build the RV park because of a lack of RV parking in

Terrace, especially for people who come in for various work projects. “I know I have talked to lots of people who need places to stay for construction workers,” Kirkby said. Despite this need, Kirkby said the RV park will be open to anybody looking for both shortterm and long-term stays. How Kirkby will pay homage to the “Summer of 69” still remains unknown as legalities and issues of copyright remain large obstacles. One way Kirkby is exploring the tribute is through potentially naming the RV campground Summer of 69.
