Moly mine lawsuit launched By ANNA KILLEN The Nisga’a Nation is taking the province of British Columbia to court over an environmental assessment certificate issued for a proposed molybdenum mine on the north coast of B.C. And the company wanting to build the mine, Avanti Mines, has said it will oppose the petition and remains confident in the project. Legal proceedings against the province of British Columbia began July 31, with the Nisga’a

Nation alleging that the province breached its treaty obligations by issuing an environmental assessment certificate in March for the proposed Kitsault Mine project before the assessment was complete. “The concerns raised by the Nisga’a Nation in these court proceedings are the same concerns the Nisga’a Nation raised for over a year during the environmental assessment, and are concerns the Nisga’a Nation attempted to resolve without court intervention in the Nisga’a Treaty dispute resolu-

tion process,” said Mitchell Stevens, president of Nisga’a Lisims Government. The lawsuit alleges that the province failed to properly assess the environmental impacts of the project on water quality, marine habitat and human health, as well as the social, economic and cultural effects on the Nisga’a citizens. “The Nisga’a Nation is simply seeking compliance with the obligations set out in the Nisga’a Treaty, obligations which British Columbia undertook to abide by,”

Terrace hit by break and enters

The Terrace RCMP responded to 18 breakand-enter calls since July 15, and are telling the public to be conscientious about security. “The public is reminded to keep their homes secure (i.e. doors locked, lower windows closed, good lighting),” inspector Dana Hart said in an email. And a person who would prefer to remain unnamed said that the thieves are targeting easily portable items like electronics and move in and out of the targeted residence quickly. Hart added the police have also been seeing thefts from unlocked vehicles and there was also a vehicle theft on August 1. “The public is asked to immediately report any suspicious activity to police,” he said. Hart said he cannot comment on suspects but that local police are actively investigating the thefts. He also said they have been happening in various locations around Terrace but mainly in the Horseshoe and Southside. “Usually when they occur in a rash like this, it’s someone who came into town,” said media relations officer Const. Angela Rabut about the recent spike. So far this year there have been 57 residential break and enters and 37 to businesses, compared to 61 residential and 24 business during the same period in 2012. For all of 2012, there were 100 residential and 34 business break and enters, said Hart. “The more measures property and business owners can take to deter and make it more difficult for criminals the better,” Hart said, listing motion lights, alarms, secured windows, trimmed trees and shrubs as measures that can be used to deter thieves.

he said. The Ministry of Environment said the province takes the Nisga’a Final Agreement very seriously. “Nisga’a Nation consultation was a central aspect of this environmental assessment... We continue to work with the Nisga’a Nation, in good faith, on the interpretation of the environmental assessment chapter of the Nisga’a Final Agreement,” said the ministry, noting that the province is of the view that negotiation is preferred over litigation.

And the company that wants to build the mine remains confident of the project, while acknowledging that the litigation against the province is a step back. “It is a bit of a setback,” said Avanti Mines president Craig Nelson, noting that doesn’t directly impact the project’s present activities, which are permit-related. “It’s more with the province than it is with us but it has such a profound impact on our project.” he said.

Avanti confident in assessment process Nelson said the assessment process was robust, with the company spending more than three years and $15 million on the process. “We are confident that the province’s environmental assessment process is robust and that all environmental and human health issues have been thoroughly addressed – years of assessment and thousands of pages tell us so.” Chapter 10 of the Nisga’a Treaty puts additional obligations on an environmental assessment that go above and beyond the provincial and federal assessment processes. “I think the Nisga’a are interpreting that clause as it in effect gives them a de-facto veto if they’re not happy with the government’s conclusions – and it doesn’t say that,” he said. “It says we need to examine the impacts and our study came up with the distinct conclusions on a whole variety of potential areas that there were no significant impacts.” It is now up to the courts

to decide if the assessment is in compliance with the treaty. Avanti intends to oppose the petition. “We think that both the federal and provincial government were very, very cognisant of the treaty during the development of our environmental impact statement,” he said. “We’re confident in particular with the B.C. process – it’s been challenged a number of times in courts by aboriginal groups, and ultimately a decision has never been overturned by the courts.” Avanti and the Nisga’a Nation are no closer to reaching a benefits arrangement. “We’ve made three offers for impact benefits agreements over the years, and the sign is in the window that says the Nisga’a Nation is open for business, but unfortunately, from a businessman’s perspective, the door always seems to be locked,” said Nelson. The Nisga’a Nation has said it supports development

that complies with the environmental protections under the treaty. “Indeed, the Nisga’a Nation is currently working with various proponents on large and small scale projects on Nisga’a lands, and has supported numerous projects undertaken on Nisga’a lands,” said Stevens. “Unfortunately, the assessments required under the Nisga’a Treaty for this project have not yet been properly completed, and compliance with the Nisga’a Treaty is a necessity.” Molybdenum, used as a strengthening agent in steel, has been mined twice at Kitsault with the last attempt ending in 1982 after a brief period. A drop in prices made the mine uneconomical and a town built for workers and their families was abandoned. Avanti would spend close to $1 billion in developing its mine, employ 700 workers during construction and 300 afterward over a 16-year operation life.

Police identify homicide victim Police have confirmed the identity of the man found dead at his Sparks St. area home last month as a 29-yearold local man. "The Terrace RCMP and North District Major Crimes Unit have confirmed the identity of the male victim of the Sparks St. area homicide as Nathan Ward," said the RCMP release. Ward was found deceased Tuesday, July 23, outside of his Sparks St. apartment in Terrace around 1:20 a.m. "The investigation is ongoing, with no further details being released at this time with respect to the cause of Mr. Ward’s death," said police. "Members of the Forensic Identification Unit were on scene for several days and have completed a thorough examination of the scene." The 2800 block of Sparks St. was closed for several days while investigators examined the scene. Although the cause of death remains unknown, police have reported that the victim suffered "significant trauma." “RCMP investigators have notified Mr. Ward’s family and are continuing to provide support to them,” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk. “They have asked that we release a photo of Nathan in efforts to possibly assist the investigation,” he said. The RCMP North District Major Crimes Unit is leading the investiga-

EDITORIAL

Spirit

One bright spot in the Terrace Standard’s feature on homelessness in the last edition was the general agreement that while a place to live might be tough to find, a hot meal is not. That’s thanks to the generosity of Terrace residents, businesses and the many volunteers who work from the inside out, organizing and running community gardens, soup kitchens, canned food drives, etc. – people who give their time, money, and care, to make their neighbours’ lives a little better. We’re so busy these days, it’s often difficult to schedule dinner with your closest friends, let alone pull together a food drive, softball tournament, pancake breakfast, or put in time at a soup kitchen – but people in Terrace do it every day, often quietly behind the scenes. And many volunteers help out at the numerous events that take place annually. Some even go from assisting at one event to helping out at the next event and so on throughout the year. Even if volunteers just help out once a year, it’s a big help to the organizers of the event. Terrace’s community spirit is out in full regalia this week for the city’s flagship event – Riverboat Days. Volunteers from service clubs, church organizations, sports teams, community groups, prepare for this all year, and it’s a celebration for them just as it is for Terrace and the area’s history. So take a moment this week to thank these fine folks. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

THROUGH BIFOCALS

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI The sender uses the name of someone I recognize from her active civic involvement but we are not bosom buddies. We last met as I arrived at Canadian Tire to buy moss killer; she was leaving carrying a flat of seedlings. Even at a time of financial trouble such as this, I can’t imagine my name being anywhere on Dxxxxx’s list of possible lenders. Nor would I possess the most discretionary funds. Also, the Dxxxxx I know, regardless of extenuating circumstances, would never send anyone an email chock full of grammar and spelling

errors such as this -- “credit cards was stolen, didn’t hurt anyone or made away with passports, we were ask to come back” and uncapitalized pronoun “i”. From reading my columns and Terrace Standard comments Dxxxxx would know such slips of grammar irritate me unduly; not the surest way to pry greenbacks from my bank account. Furthermore, how realistic is it that everything was stolen except passports? Odd, seems to me, given the value of Canadian passports among international crooks. And “robbed by unknown gunmen”. Would robbery by known gunmen have been kinder, less upsetting? To top it off, Dxxxxx gives no address for sending $1900 to her by Western Union Transfer. Manila population 1,652 million isn’t Hazelton, population 270. Does she expect me to email back and forth for her address besides withdrawing more than a month’s pension from the bank before toddling over to Safeway’s service desk to wire the funds to her? Really! Instead of responding to Dxxxxx, I forwarded the

email to local RCMP at angela.rabut@rcmp-grc.gc.ca then to the Canadian AntiFraud Centre at info@antifraudcentre.ca. I could have phoned 1-888-495-8401 but I detest holding. The website www.phonebusters.com offers information on a range of active scams, old and new. I do no banking online, but I do have a Visa debit card authorized for a small weekly withdrawal. I’ve used it with Paypal to order a sweater from L.L. Bean and fountain pen ink from Vancouver Pen Shop. Nonetheless, I checked with the bank holding my Visa debit card, and Visa to be sure I didn’t have to do more. Visa assured me by deleting the email and not offering any bank account number or Visa code to the scammer, both my account and Visa card were safe from theft. It turned out, a scammer had hacked into Dxxxxx’s computer and sent the same email willy nilly to all her email contacts in hope one of us would be sufficiently sleep deprived to believe the improbable tale and wire cash before thinking.

The Final hearings for the Joint Review Panel on the Northern Gateway Pipeline were held in Terrace in June.

Enbridge’s view is shortsighted Dear Sir: The final hearings for the Joint Review Panel on the Northern Gateway Pipeline proposal concluded in Terrace with a masterful rebuttal of opposition by Enbridge’s lawyer. However, that lawyer neglected the greatest problem of the proposal: global warming’s increasingly deleterious effect on the present and for the future.

That neglect was evident in three ways: the emphasis on revenue, the narrow view on job creation, and the narrower view still on public interest. On revenue, the emphasis on quick return for as much export as possible means that much more carbon in the atmosphere and that much more mean weather rather than gradual, longer-term accrual of income from slower, more con-

scientious exploitation. On jobs, the quantity nowhere near matches what would be possible if we began, now, to convert from carbon-dependent transport to advanced rail. The spin-off benefits from that alone would dwarf tar-sand exploitation. On public interest, the shortterm tax and royalty generation nowhere near compensates for the disaster that global warming and

climate change have in store, if not for us immediately, then absolutely for future generations. Calgary has now become emblematic of the climate threat we face. An act of God, insurers say, has devastated the city. One has to ask, what has Calgary done to upset God so much? You don’t need religion to answer that. Dr. David Heinimann, Terrace, BC

Dear Sir: (Re: Controversial rezone granted to Sparks St. landowner, published online July 23.) Twenty to one against the idea. No clear plan in place, only vague outlines of multiple possible potential dwellings of varied, and undecided as of yet, styles and sizes. But to be SURE it has a “green” heating option! Geothermal! And it’s actually GOOD for the creek! THAT we heard. Over and over and over. But oddly without any details or plans either shown or discussed. The possible cost of, the as yet unknown number of, buildings were clearly alluded to being not cheap to build thus, I have to assume here, better than other possible greener structures. Fears of future property apathy, by the “one” might result in additional flooding of neighbouring properties, was barely, and unclearly addressed. It was noted that these dwellings will require a 1000+ gallon reservoir, to use the AMAZING (!) geo-thermal potential, to be constructed. Where this might be placed wasn’t addressed and did little to quell flooding/erosion fears. Nothing good or even necessary for Terrace was shown to be planned, unless you count the possible minor PR of having a couple geo-thermal rentals.

It’s the corporations we should be regulating

he history of regulations goes back to the early civilizations of Greece and Egypt. Their purpose then as it is now is to protect society from the negative consequences of risks and hazards. Regulations, backed by the power of laws, govern what we wear, what we eat, where and how we live, and all but the most benign of our daily activities. From seat belts to light switches, from milk cartons to band aids, almost everything we touch, look at and do is subject to regulations of one kind or another. By the 1960s, neo-liberal theorists began to insist that society was over-regulated and over-governed to the point of suffocation. They set out to promote individual freedom by getting regulators out of our hair, and to achieve this goal they called for a reduction in the capacity of governments to regulate our lives. But efforts to de-regulate were concentrated on corporate activities, not on people. Neo-liberalism has been rather successful, as

today’s corporations enjoy a far greater scope of self-regulation than citizens do. One needs only to look at the recent train wreck at Lac Mégantic for an example of the potential consequences of corporate deregulation. Imagine a train of 72 loaded tanker cars operated by just one person. Imagine over seven million litres of oil sitting on an inclined track, unguarded, and unattended, with hand brakes only applied to some cars. One of the five locomotives is kept idling, doors unlocked, as the lone person in charge leaves at the end of his shift. Some time later the idling locomotive catches fire. The local fire department is g u e s t c o mm e n t alerted. The burning locomotive is shut down and the fire is extin- ANDRE CARREL guished. The incident is reported to the rail company and the fire- of this catastrophe. And whatever men go back to bed. What hap- facts the investigation will ultipened next was the stuff of inter- mately reveal, they will add nothnational headlines. ing new to what has been known The investigation of this disas- for over a century about the risks ter will take months if not years involved in rail transport. This to reach definitive conclusions as was not the first time that railway to the what, where, how, and who cars left unattended on a sloping

track rolled away and crashed. The difference in this case is that the cars were not empty, or loaded with coal or some other low-hazard goods, and they did not crash in the middle of nowhere. This time the cars were loaded with oil, and they gathered speed up to 100 km/h before crashing in the night, in the middle of a town. But could regulations have prevented the Lac Mégantic disaster? To answer that question we need to compare current railway regulations – regulations that permitted the Montreal, Main and Atlantic Railway corporation to abandon a train loaded with over 7 million litres of oil on a sloping track – to regulations applied to other industries, like the airline industry. Compare safety regulations applied to people in airports to safety regulations applied to railway companies. Even small regional airports are required to provide a crew to perform a careful X-ray check of all luggage. In

addition, passengers must take off their wristwatch, remove their shoes, open belt buckles, and walk through a scanner before entering the departure lounge. If safety regulations as strict as those required in the airline industry were applied to the rail industry that 1.4 km long train would been run by a crew. It would have been equipped with enough wheel chocks to secure every one of the 288 tanker car axles. It would have been parked on a siding with locked switches at both ends of the train set in direction of buffers. Rail barons would argue that doing so would be an expense – adding an infinitesimal fraction of a penny to every litre of oil transported by that fateful train. Are we not willing to pay the price? Had tighter regulations had been in place and followed, Lac Mégantic would still be unknown beyond Quebec’s borders. This event leaves me with one question: Have we taken neo-liberalism’s deregulation mania too far?

Stewart ambulance service under stress By Josh Massey STEWART’S ongoing ambulance services issue came to a head last week with the resignation of two parttime BC Ambulance paramedics—one citing a lack of support from BC Ambulance for remote communities. The two departures left a single part-time paramedic who was potentially unavailable depending on work schedule, and three part-time drivers. According to unit chief paramedic Cindy Ellwood who resigned July 30, this meant there would potentially be no coverage for the long weekend. “Yeah, it’s a crisis situation... we are shut down because I am not working. They said it’s the long weekend, they can’t get anyone to come up here because everyone is busy,” Ellwood said last week. Chief operating officer of BC Ambulance Les Fisher said that for the long weekend, an air emergency crew was ready in Prince Rupert and ambulance support from Kitwanga, 213 kilometres south of Stewart. “If we can’t get the local coverage that we would normally rely on, the closest by ground for something that isn’t urgent would be Kitwanga. If there is an urgent issue, there would be a crew from Prince Rupert by helicopter,” said Fisher. Ellwood said she decided to resign due to the pressure put on her by repeated service gaps. “I can’t wait around for another ambulance coming from threeand-a-half or four hours away and watch someone die. It’s not in me to do that. I didn’t join

the ambulance for that,” she said. According to Stewart’s deputy mayor Patty Lynn the service problem isn’t new, and the community has been getting by any way it can. “There was a woman who fell in front of a

“They put her in the back of their pickup and drove her to the hospital” hotel. The hotel called 911. They said there is no ambulance service, they are up north, we will send them from Hazelton – that’s threeand-a-half hours away,” she said. “They called the hospital. One of the nurses came down and one of the doctors showed up. A local company ran to their first-aid ambulance truck and grabbed a backboard ... they put her in the back of their pickup and took her to the hospital.” According to Lynn, the number of calls to emergency centres is on the rise due to booming development in the region, which means the hospitals deal with more patients coming in from nearby work-

sites, a challenge she acknowledges other remote communities face around the province. “It’s come to a head because the north is growing. Terrace is busy. So is Stewart. Very busy. We have a power project, the transmission line, mining, exploration, tourism, American traffic up Highway 37 to Fairbanks. Between us and Dease Lake we service the whole area down to Cranberry. The callouts are increasing.” In terms of a longer term solution, Fisher said efforts are being made to recruit people “who want to come out and really support their community and look after their neighbours” and BC Ambulance is putting on an emergency responder course this September in Stewart. But while the challenge of providing consistent ambulance service in this town of 500 has been noted, an immediate fix remains elusive. “It’s not a matter of being paid more,” Ellwood said. “I did it more as a community service. I wouldn’t have stayed there for 11 years making 10 to $14,000 a year otherwise. I worked every day.” The part-time ambu-

lance staff are paid $2 an hour to be on call, and then get a higher hourly wage during callouts. Ellwood said she was also paid for eight hours administrative work a week but that she ended up working far more hours than that. She took a stress leave this winter because of the pressure and needed more support as unit chief. “I knew this was coming. I knew this summer was coming and I was wondering if they would send people up to help me out,” Ell-

According to both Ellwood and Lynn, this is problematic because of the low unemployment rate, meaning that people wouldn’t be available, and the obligations that these groups have to other aspects of their lives. The application process is long, said Lynn, and the age limit for drivers is 65, which means eligible candidates don’t qualify. “I told BC Ambulance they have to streamline their application,” Lynn said.

“ We are proud of what we will be able to achieve together as a result of the Kitimat Modernization Project.”

Rio Tinto Alcan is pleased to call Kitimat one of its host communities, and because of the new smelter, there will continue to be good jobs and a great place for our employees and their families to thrive. A message from the management of Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat Modernization Project

Over the past few months we have provided information in response to questions we have received about the impacts and benefits of the Kitimat Modernization Project (KMP), a $3.3+ billion project by Rio Tinto Alcan designed to modernize and increase production at the new smelter in Kitimat. As a company, we are excited about this next stage in our development and the ongoing contribution we will be able to make to our community. These questions came out of discussions we had with attendees at public meetings, and we hope through both these meetings and the information we have shared in this series, we have been able to provide you with the facts about the project and the impact it will have on our community. A 30-day public consultation period was held in March, where the community was invited to ask questions and raise concerns. In evaluating the application, the BC Ministry of Environment considered in-depth independent scientific assessments, technical information, First Nations input and community feedback. In April 2013 the Ministry approved Rio Tinto Alcan’s application for an amendment to our permit for waste discharge to accommodate increased production at the Kitimat operation.

Rio Tinto Alcan’s amended permit was appealed in May 2013, and we are working with the BC Ministry of Environment to provide any further information they might require as they go through this process. The Kitimat Modernization Project will bring significant environmental and economic benefits to our region, securing well-paid, technically advanced jobs for the long term to help keep our community strong. Rio Tinto Alcan has committed to a long term Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) program. The EEM program will continue to monitor four main areas – human health, vegetation, and terrestrial and aquatic environments, and have a clear plan to respond to any concerns that may arise. As part of this program we will also be continuing to make information about our environmental performance readily available to the community. The health and safety of our Kitimat employees, their families and the wider community is a priority for Rio Tinto Alcan. We are proud of what we will be able to achieve together as a result of the Kitimat Modernization Project.

Controversial rezone divides local residents By JOSH MASSEY

Despite ten letters sent to the city’s development services department and more than 20 objecting neighbours showing up to the special council meeting, a rezone application was nonetheless granted to Stan Kinkead to develop his property at 4407 Sparks St. Kinkead first submitted a tentative plan for three triplexes along with his application to have the forested property rezoned from R1 one family residential to R3 low density multifamily residential on May 13. Kinkead returned July 22 with a revised building plan that shows three possible residences containing a total of seven units. And council heard of Kinkead’s plans to tap a creek running through the densely treed property—previously designated environmentally sensitive in an earlier city assessment—to heat the units with a geothermal generator. Both plans caused a backlash from neighbors because of the perceived social and environmental impacts in a secluded, somewhat wild area on the bench. The votes went four to two, with David Pernarowski and Bruce Bidgood opposed, and the rest of council in favour of granting the zoning amendment. Councillor Brian Downie was not in attendance. “We have to be careful not to let NIMBYism guide our deci-

sion,” councillor Stacey Tyers said during the debate. She reasoned that Kinkead’s development plan addresses several key issues including affordable rental housing and low carbon emissions from the geothermal component. “We do keep trying to densify and eliminate some of our footprint,” Tyers said. Bidgood did express concern about the precedence council has set by moving ahead with a development opposed by a large group of adjacent property owners. Neighbour Dan Mussell from 4401 Sparks spoke at length. He was supported by councillor Bruce Bidgood in arguing that Kinkead’s plan was still too vague. However director of development services David Block assured council and audience guests that concerns over the details of the development would be addressed when Kinkead applies for a development permit. In the previous debates area residents protested that the R3 multi-family designation would mean that “the wrong crowd” would come creeping up the hill to inhabit a new paved paradise. Kinkead responded that unit rental would cost about $1,500 per month, indicating he wasn’t planning to create a slum. One of the neighbours apologized for her pervious comments from the May hearing where she equated small housing with unpleasant people.

Kinkead’s project designer, who also spoke at the hearing, said that many of the trees will be preserved and Kinkead said that in fact geothermal would improve the creek. “A 1,000 gallon reservoir is more than adequate to supply the water you need for heat,” Kinkead said. “It cools the creek. It takes the water in, takes 5 degrees of temperature out of that water and sends the rest out to that creek.” He said that the creek water was warmer than normal in the creek, so he foresaw his system in fact giving a boost to the ecosystem. The debate was framed by the neighbours wanting to preserve the character of that wooded area and the desire of council officials to densify and add affordable housing. Mussell argued that supposed long-term growth from industry is mere speculation at this point and that the philosophical push for densification shouldn’t apply to a remoter area when there are plenty of undeveloped plots closer to downtown. “How many R1, R2, R3, R4 are there in town that haven’t been developed yet... Alcan is going to lose 500 jobs. We have camps come in here that are set up to build power lines...Why did you see your airport grow? It’s from workers flying in and out not people living here on a permanent basis. I don’t see it... I’m against this,” he said.

Heat means restrictions By Amara Janssens With the hot and dry weather Terrace has been seeing, officials have issued watering and burning restrictions. Last week, the fire danger rating rose to ‘high,’ and open fires are now restricted until Sept. 15. However, campfires were still permitted for the holiday long weekend, as long as they were less than half a metre wide and half a metre high. “We haven’t been considering a campfire ban,” said Suzanne Pearce, information officer for the Northwest Fire Centre last week. However, the fire centre reminds people to not have campfires in

windy conditions, and to ensure campfires are fully extinguished. The City of Terrace also issued an open fire ban within city limits with the same restrictions as the fire centre issued, but Riverboat Days fireworks still went ahead. Lawn sprinkling restrictions were also put in place by the city to ensure enough water is available for firefighting measures. Odd numbered houses may water on odd numbered days, while even numbered houses can water on even numbered days. Spraying flowers and shrubbery is permitted any time, however, as long as it is done by hand with a controlled nozzle.

but nothing was ever submitted. “We talked about that opportunity and the city applying and transferring over to them to administer the program to their membership,” said Block. TDIA chair Anna Beddie said she was the one who was going to submit the application but that work and other obligations got in the way of her volunteer duties in this capacity. “Because I work full-time, it’s hard to get all the stuff in,” Beddie said. “What we’ve done is hire a coordinator to help us with that.” She said that the new coordinator, Dennis Lissimore, will make sure to submit an application for the 2014 business facade improvement grant. Northern Development communications director Joel McKay said this certainly wasn’t the last chance to apply, and encouraged the city to try in the future. “The program is available to each municipality on an annual basis. We have another application intake this year so if TDIA is interested in the program, we encourage them to submit for the November intake at which point if it’s approved by the board, then the grant would be available for business facade improvement in 2014.” Councillor Stacey Tyers is the city’s 2013 liaison to TDIA.

Businesses miss out on development grant THE CITY and local businesses represented by the Terrace Downtown Improvement Area missed out on a $20,000 grant to improve business facades because of a missed application deadline, mayor Dave Pernarowski told council at a July 22 meeting. The business facade improvement program—offered through the Northern Development Initiative Trust—offers financing to split costs with local businesses to help them jazz up the exterior of their establishments to a maximum of $5,000 each. The mayor told council that everybody needed to be a bit more diligent about keeping on top of opportunities like this. “I want to make sure that people are popping into the northern development website to take a look at the different programs that are available because I did notice we were missing off of that long list of communities that have already jumped on this,” said Pernarowski. Twelve other northern towns were awarded the grant, including Prince Rupert, Burns Lake, Quesnel, Lytton, Port Clements, Fort St. James, Wells, Smithers, Williams Lake, Fort St. John, McBride and Prince George. Answering to the issue of the missed application deadline, director of development services David Block said that the last time he was in contact with TDIA was in the springtime

Farmers market keeps growing

AMARA JANSSENS PHOTO

■ London Bridge is falling down JADE BRIGHT and Akeila Chamberlain, left to right, made a bridge of popsicle sticks at the Terrace Women’s Resource Centre last Thursday. The centre hosted a science camp for girls all last week, where each day they tried different experiments. Summer student, Sam Koopmans, tested the strength of the girls’ bridges by seeing how many two litre pop bottles their bridges could hold.

COME OUT this weekend to celebrate the 30th year of the Skeena Valley Farmers Market, which started out small and has grown thru the years. Ella Vienneau has been a vendor at the farmers market since it started with about four to seven vendors. “Then slowly it picked up and people were really good. They supported us and kept coming so we stuck it out and now it’s quite nice,” she said. There were four vendors who would set up at the fourway stop selling produce there, but Vienneau remembers the farmers market at the same place it is now, Market Square, next to George Little Park. Then it moved to where the Seniors Housing is now and then back again to the market square a few years ago. The farmers market has grown to more than 80 vendors. “Some of our old customers are still coming,” she said. “It’s quite nice to see the same people. They were just little kids [back then] and now come with their own kids.” She began as the “fudge

lady” with a couple pans of her confection and now her daughter has taken it over. “Now I do my slippers and take that to the market and help my daughter with selling the fudge,” she said, adding her daughter helped her when she was selling fudge and was there to also keep Vienneau company. “I just like the atmosphere there, the people. You keep on seeing the same people, the same faces,” said Vienneau. The Skeena Valley Farmers Market is one of the best, says a lot of visitors, she said. “We even had a lady last year come from Edmonton and she said that, even with the ones she sees in Edmonton, [ours is] one of the best she has seen so far. It’s quite nice to see that we have a good market and can compare it with other ones.” The Skeena Valley Farmers Market opens every Saturday from May thru October offering homegrown, homemade and homebaked items. and local musicians and buskers entertain those who come to the market.

Biking to help end violence against women WHILE MANY people are taking the summer off for vacation and getting away from it all, one Ontario man is using his holiday time to bike across the country to talk to others about ending violence against women. Joachim Ostertag began his journey June 20 at Owen Sound Ontario and passed through Terrace July 29. The 60-year-old always wanted to bike across the country and managed to accumulate enough vacation time to do it this year. He works as the manager of a men’s program to help men who have abused their spouses in Owen Sound, Ontario. “I think we need to shift our attitudes about how men think about women and about ourselves,” he said, adding he’s talked to several people during his trip about violence against women and what changes they would like to see in the world. He liked the idea of biking because it’s simple, basic and easier to meet people. He found that wearing a bright yellow cycling shirt with Change the Cycle written on it got other people’s attention and they came up and talked to him. He talked to an aboriginal man in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario who said every family on his reserve knows a woman who’s been killed or is missing. “I think the Highway of Tears goes through Canada,” said Ostertag, adding that violence against aboriginal women is three to five times higher than against non-aboriginal

women. He sat on a bench by the Bulkley River with an aboriginal man, who talked about the girls and women who hitchhike. “It seemed on the surface he was blaming the girls but I think he was concerned because they could be anyone’s daughter,” said Ostertag. A woman came up to him after seeing his bright outfit to ask about what he was doing and he noticed she had a tattoo that said Woman of Constant Sorrow. She told him she was a victim of Robert Pickton. Boys know that no-means-no and that women need to be respected and are equal but they don’t act like it. Domestic violence goes to a person’s core, affecting the ability to have a relationship, work, and enjoy life. It’s like pollution in the river – if you pollute upstream, it affects everything downstream, he said. “So if we teach boys to disrespect women, it affects everything else later on,” he said. He’s had men come into the program he runs saying they didn’t want to abuse women, they didn’t want to be like their fathers, but the behaviour comes through anyway. They want to be in charge, have a sense of entitlement, and when a woman doesn’t want to do what they want, they put their foot down, threaten, yell, and it can get physical.

A majority of men respect women but won’t speak up. “I don’t know all the answers but one is that men need to talk to each other,” said Ostertag. “Most are respectful and most can identify respectful and disrespectful behaviour in other men.” Men don’t generally ask for help – he says even for himself it’s difficult to ask – but when men are in the locker room or other places, they need to stand up when they see bad behaviour or hear negative talk and tell others their behaviour and language isn’t OK. From here, Ostertag was on his way to Prince Rupert where he planned to take the ferry to Port Hardy, ride down the island and end up in Vancouver Aug. 10 for a ceremony at a memorial stone for missing and murdered women there. That’s a total journey of about 5,500 km. On his way here, he avoided the TransCanada Highway in Ontario, where he said the bike lane is very narrow and dangerous, by going through the U.S. After Owen Sound and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, he rode south of Lake Superior through Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota then to Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Jasper, Prince George to Terrace. He also went through the U.S. and made sure to stop in Duluth, Minnesota where the first program for abusive men was developed in the 1980s.

Gerry’s happiest days were spent with his six children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and his wife and love of his life the late Bonnie Lagace. Gerry is survived by his children Shelly (Rick): “The first man I ever loved”, Dan (Noreen): “Love and miss you already”, JR: “Love you XOXO” , May: “You will be with me forever”, Debbie (Leonard): “My Hero” Theresa (Norman): “On this day I married my Prince and buried my King”. Many Grandchildren, Great grandchildren, Three Sisters, One Brother, Two Sister In-law’s and numerous Nieces and Nephews In lieu of flowers a donation to either the Cross Cancer Institute or the Stollery Children’s Foundation in Gerry’s name would be greatly appreciated. The family would like to express a special thank you to the staff of the Mary Immaculate Care Center for the wonderful care that was provided for their father in his final days. Cremation has taken place. At Gerry’s family’s request a private celebration of life was held in Edmonton on July 28th/2013 with his family and closest friends. Dad is gone now

Jack Gordon Moye With deepest grief and sorrow we, the family of Jack Moye, wish to announce his home going on July 18, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. Jack was a loving son and a devoted husband and father. He loved activities such as hunting and fishing. He was a hard worker and took great pride in his work. He enjoyed music and especially playing his guitar and singing with his children. His many talents will be greatly missed. He is leaving behind his loving wife Jessica and four precious children, Byron (7), Wesley (3), Hailey (2) and Josie (7 months). He is also survived by his parents, Mercer and Eleta Moye, 3 siblings, Tabitha Rice, Mercer Jr., and Tammy, 3 grandparents, Jack and Virginia Mosier and Gordon Moye. Also grieving his passing are his inlaws, Steve and Myrna Cullis and Jessica’s grandparents, Barb Cullis “Nanny” and Phillip Bradford. Jack is now residing in his mansion in Heaven and we look forward to seeing him again one day. Jack’s desire is that you will meet him there one day as well.

Hess hopeful at worlds By ANNA KILLEN Terrace’s Mitchell Hess is in Dublin, Ireland getting ready to compete in his biggest martial arts competition yet. The World Organization of Martial Arts Athletes’s World Martial Games XIV starts this weekend, Aug. 9 and runs until Aug. 11. Hess, 16, was invited to join Team Canada after winning a gold medal in Brazilian Jujitsu at the Tigerbalm International Tournament in North Vancouver earlier this year. He’ll be competing in Continuous Sparing. “This was a surprise,” he said, of the invitation to join Team Canada. “I never saw it coming.” Hess says that although he’s tried other types of martial arts and joined clubs that do combinations of mixed martial arts (MMA) – he even won two silver medals and a gold at his first MMA tournament – jujitsu has always been his passion. He’s also heavily involved in cadets. “It’s sometimes hard to balance the two,” he said. “Especially with school added in there. Cadets teach you discipline and self control and so does jujitsu. Both also teach you patience.” The main club for Team Canada is in Saskatchewan, meaning it’s been difficult for him to train with the main club. “A lot of training has to happen locally,” he said. “I haven’t spoken to anyone that has competed in the worlds... I am nervous but feel ready.” He’ll likely be the only fighter from northern B.C. at the competition, and he’s looking forward to representing Terrace. “I am looking forward to this experience,

Terrace Gran Fondo 2013 is this weekend Terrace cyclists are switching it up this year, and instead of the annual Skeena River Challege there will be a new gran fondo ride to Rosswood and back. The 80 km route starts at Northwest Community College at 1 p.m. this Sunday, August 11. Riders will head 40 km up Hwy 113 to the Rosswood General Store and loop back. “It is a race but more importantly, a gran fondo ride that encourages participation from all road riders,” said organizer Michael Bruce. More information can be found through contacting Bruce, or checking out the Bicycling in Terrace Facebook page. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆

to have Terrace put on the map at such a large world event. I’ll be trying my best.”

Riders from all over at Terrace motocross race By ANNA KILLEN

Here’s Terrace’s Austin Fagon at the Smithers Motocross event last month where he placed first in Junior 450cc.

Motocross racers from all over the province turned out to the track last month for Terrace’s last Motocross Association sanctioned home event of the season. “There was about 80 racers each day and they were from all over – Revelstoke, Kamloops, Williams Lake, Quesnel, one was from Victoria,” said Terrace Motocross Association (TMXA)’s Ken Parkes. “In fact, in my son’s race, out of 14 riders, only two of them were from Terrace, and in the other one where there were nine riders he was the only one from Terrace. It is quite an event, bringing people from all over the place.” And 80 riders is a solid turnout, he said. “Those riders are normally going into two or three classes each, so 80 I think is pretty respectable,” he said. “It was a good race, really well run. Terrace Motocross Association did a great job putting it on. It seems to go smoother and smoother, but when I talk to them there are things going on in the background.” There were a couple of accidents on Sunday, he said, which kept the medic tent on their toes. But “spirits were high and the weather was perfect for racing,” he said.

And the event highlighted the strong sense of community there is in motocross culture – even among competitors. “You’ll have guys that are competing against each other that may be going for first and second against each other, but when it comes down into the pits and somebody’s bike is broken, they’ll do whatever they can, even if you’re the major competitor,” he said, noting that he acts as the mechanic for his son Joey’s bike. “You kind of know what goes around comes around, so one day they’ll help you out, and you’ll help them out, it’s kind of neat that way.” For example, one racer, Jesse Lanterman, wasn’t able to get his bike fixed in time for the event – despite working on it with a fellow from Williams Lake until late Friday in the hopes they could fix it. He ended up borrowing bikes from other people all weekend, without problem, so he could still race. And if you think it must be tough riding a bike that you’re not used to, Parkes said it’s okay. “You hop on a bike and it’s strange for the first race, but by the time the second race comes you start dialing her in,” he said. Next up, riders travel to Williams Lake, then to Prince George, then back to Williams Lake, before finishing the season in Ashcroft.

Organizers of last year’s King of the Mountain beat their target of 50 racers with a total of 68 racers. This year, they’re expecting 100-150. Here’s the starting line from the 2012 race.

King of the Mountain strives to surpass success of last year By ANNA KILLEN There’s still a few weeks left to get on the trails and get a feel for the mountain before this year’s King of the Mountain trail race on August 25. Last year’s footrace saw a surge of participants after new organizers breathed new life into the annual event – and this year’s race is expected to be even bigger. “We were really happy with the response last year and are expecting that this year will be even better,” said organizer Nadene Butler. “We have heard a lot of newcomers are becoming interested.” The 10 kilometre route is the same as last year – racers start at the Terrace Sportsplex, continue past the pool entrance onto Park Avenue, travel up the Park hill road until they hit the Johnstone Street trail head and then it’s up the moun-

tain all the way around the bike loop, 7.9 kilometres, until they end up back at the start of the trail head and head down to the Sportsplex for the finish. There’s no minimum age – last year’s race saw runners as young as seven, with the oldest participant at 65. And organizers are anticipating a fair amount of outof-towners for the event – last year’s race had runners from Prince Rupert, Smithers, Prince George, and Kelowna. Butler says the Fall Run taking a year off has the potential to push up participant numbers as well. “We are very sad to see [the Fall Run] not happening this year as it is a real family friendly event,” she said. But athletes used to road running could use this as a reason to try something new. “For those people accustomed to road running we cant express enough how

alifornia in its wild state must have been a dream state. As late as middle of the last century, before rampant growth and development and the water diversion, and forest mining that attended it, Bill Schaadt, whose shack sat on the banks of the Russian River near the small town of Monte Rio, was in an angling Eden. The Russian flows through Sonoma County, past redwoods and vinyards. In Schaadt’s day, the river was at full strength. It was robust and rich, containing healthy populations of bass, bluegills, crappy, carp, suckers, bullheads, flounder, striped bass, and giant sturgeon. There were steelhead in the Russian too, winter-run fish that slipped in from the sea from November through April in staggering numbers. In 1954-55 season, for example, sportsmen caught 40,000 of them. Of that catch, Bill Schaadt, fishing from first to last light over a period of five months, caught and released 900, a verified feat made more incredible by the fact that he used 3 pound test tippet and flies as small as size 14. When hunting chinook, Bill Schaadt needed more gun. He rowed out to fish Chinook Salmon – the salmon he called King – on rivers like the Eel with a one piece, one-handed glass fibre rod armed with a Pfleuger Medalist reel that was loaded to its cage with running line. The boat

much more enjoyable trail running can be,” she said. “Road running is a fairly repetitive motion on a very hard surface whereas trail running adds variation on softer terrain and is more of an allover body workout not to mention the beautiful scenery on the way.” And if you ran the Salmon Run, this might be a good next step, she said. Same day registration is no problem, but Butler says the more people who pre-register, the better. “We can’t stress enough how helpful it is to preregister so that we can be better prepared with our food and beverages, volunteers,” she said. Pre-registration is at All Seasons Source for Sports. Race starts at 10 a.m. at the Terrace Sportsplex. A map of the route has been posted at the Johnstone St. trailhead and at the Sportsplex Hidber entrance.

Ladies Links Level One starts tomorrow, Aug. 8, at the Skeena Valley Golf and Country Club, and runs every Thursday until the end of the month for women 16 and over. Instructed by golf pro Germain Francoeur, ladies are encouraged to bring their own clubs but there are clubs at the golf course to borrow if needed.

Hazelton pulls out of CIHL The upcoming Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) schedule is being reworked after the Hazelton Wolverines – who had re-applied and been accepted back into the CIHL at this year’s AGM – withdrew from the league, citing lack of community support and discovery of previous year’s debt, reads a notice posted on the CIHL website. The Omenica Ice of Vanderhoof informed the league they would not be playing this year, and the addition of the Wolverines would have kept the existing east/west split of the league in tact. It is still unclear how this will affect the 2013/2014 schedule.

rent in the path is strongest needs to be determined; this spot will probably be very close to where the salmon must turn into heavy water to continue their ascent. The best prospects will lie there. To fish this kind of lay-by, a short cast of about 13 metres at most, will do. The fly should be cast quartering down and helped to sink deeply as soon in the drift as possible by paying out slack line that has been stripped off the reel before hand. If all the factors are in alignment, a Chinook will be funneling through the selected spot, hesitating to catch its breath when the fly passes in front of its face. Chinook fishers tend to use large lures and large hooks under the mistaken assumption that it takes a large lure to catch a large fish. Not so. As Atlantic salmon anglers learned long ago, small flies are very effective, often more effective, when it comes to taking large fish, and a damned sight more pleasant to cast and fish. A small, stout iron will hook more quickly, stay planted, and do less damage to the fish. For this reason a #8 comet, or an undulant orange marabou dressed on a short shank and made to ride upside down and close to the bottom with the addition of weighted eyes is ideal. Finally, use a stout rod and short leader of ten pound test Maxima, and don’t move unless there is someone behind you. Oh yes, be prepared to be beaten and don’t be upset when you are.

Regional district drafting mobile home policy Supreme court ruling affects non-conforming homes and could affect affordable housing IN AN effort to keep people in affordable housing, the regional district and trailer park owners are meeting again today to continue working together to draft a policy that allows affordable housing while not going against a supreme court ruling. The owners and regional district have met several times to discus how to allow non-conforming mobile homes in certain trailer courts in light of a supreme court ruling that may not allow the regional district to continue to allow mobile homes to be replaced once one is removed. At the June regional district board meeting, a couple of trailer park owners, Ken Blanes, who owns Copper Mountain Trailer Court, and Ron Townley stated that if the regional district stopped allowing non-conforming trailers that it would cut down on affordable housing in the area. “We're trying to work on something,” said Blanes late last week. Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine planner Ted Pellegrino said the regional district is also seeking legal opinions on the Stroshin decision, which set rules on the non-conforming trailers and trailer parks. The supreme court decided that non-confirming mobile homes in a trailer park can't be replaced if that person moves the current trailer somewhere else. “I think we need to be cautious that we don't stray too far from the BC Supreme Court decision but allow some flexibility to the property owners and it's just a matter of finding some common ground,” said Pellegrino. “They (trailer park owners) make some good points in that we don't want something to cause undue financial hardship and also provide clean, safe affordable housing in the community and we definitely recognize that.” Any new policy that would be adopted by the board could be changed if desired in the future. According to a planning committee agenda from April 2013, the regional district had begun looking into draft-

ing a policy outlining how mobile home parks with non-conforming status would be addressed. Eight properties, some with more than

one lot, were identified locally as having mobile home parks with non-conforming status. Seven are in Thornhill and one is in Jackpine Flats, ranging in

size from four pads to 28 identified pads and all but one park contained vacant pads. “Non-conforming mobile home parks predate Regional District

zoning bylaws. Historically the regional district has followed the accepted practice of recognizing the mobile home pads as being protected by legal non-con-

forming status” under the Local Government Act, said the agenda. “This prevented the park from increasing the number of units/ pads but still allowed

for owners to remove and replace individual units within the park property.” The regional district board meets again this Friday.
