Power plant hinges on LNG potential

By Josh Massey

■■ Tube monster wade stewart horses around with some of the equipment at the Monkey Business Gymnastics Kindercamp Aug. 29 in the Parkside Secondary gym. This group of three to five-year-olds spent each morning last week climbing through a tube, swinging from a pole, doing somersaults, jumping on a trampoline and other gymnastic moves.

CONSTRUCTION of a natural gas-fired power plant at the city-owned Skeena Industrial Development Park south of the airport hinges on how much electricity BC Hydro estimates it will need for the region’s potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry, says the vice president of the company which wants to build it. “We’re not going to file the project description until BC Hydro tells us this is what they want because we will look kind of silly if we file something that’s in the pubic realm and then BC Hydro comes in and says no we want something else. We don’t want to look silly,” says Alexi Zawadzki from the Calgary-based Veresen energy company. So far Veresen has signed a memorandum of understanding with the city and says that an option agreement is underway for a gas supply with Pacific Northern Gas which has a supply line running through the industrial park. The company is also speaking with the Kitselas First Nation. Its traditional territory takes in the industrial park area. Although the LNG plants now under consideration for construction in Kitimat and in Prince Rupert are expected to use their own natural gas to power facilities to super-cool massive amounts of gas for exports overseas, BC Hydro would be called upon to provide power for other plant needs. Veresen calls its planned facility a “gas peaker” because it starts up when other power sources are at maximum capacity, Zawadzki said. That’s typically five per cent, or less, of the time. Zawadzki said his company hopes to build a facility with about 500 megawatts of capacity and with each megawatt representing approximately $800,000 in construction costs, a price tag for a plant of that size would be in the order of $400 million. Depending upon circumstances, the plant would go through a three to five-year permitting and construction phase. BC Hydro’s resource planning director Randy Reimann confirmed that BC Hydro has been looking into options for a back-up facility in the area.

“We recognize the benefits of gas peaking plants on the North Coast,” Reimann said in an email. “They will support the growing loads, and the maintenance and reliability of the transmission line to northwest B.C.” “The 500 kilovolt line from Prince George to Terrace is about 450 kilometres long. While it is typically very reliable with very few outages, it makes sense to support the single line supply,” he said of the line which brings power from the BC Hydro grid to the region. BC Hydro’s recently released Integrated Resource Plan expressed the need for a peaking facility in the area and that it would entertain bids from companies once a final decision is made to proceed. “Assuming the technical studies confirm the need for natural gas-fired generation to support North Coast reliability levels, BC Hydro will conduct a competitive procurement process to enter into an agreement with a private developer to provide capacity and associated ancillary services,” reads a section from the resource plan. Zawadzki is confident Veresen would be the successful bidder on any project to generate power to sell to BC Hydro.

Did you hear it? Two professors from the University of British Columbia say it’s unlikely the loud scraping sounds heard around Terrace on the morning of August 29 have their origin in the sky or the bowels of the earth. Rumours began to swirl after clips were posted online that the source of the screeching noises heard on both sides of town was solar flares in the atmosphere, or the shifting of tectonic plates. People compared the noises to a moose call, scraping metal, angels and whale song. UBC professor of astrophysics Brett Gladman pointed out that the sound was something like the noise northern lights can make, but that any noise coming from the atmosphere “would not have been confined to only a few kilometres.”

City land sale finalized THE CITY has confirmed the sale of just over 10 acres of land in its Skeena Industrial Development Park to Global Dewatering Ltd. Global, which specializes in the removal of groundwater from industrial locations, paid $250,000 for the land which is uncleared and on the north side of the access road leading into the park area from Hwy37 just south of the Northwest Regional Airport. It’s the first successful sale of land within the park area by the city. Global and the city have yet to work out any agreements for servicing the location but company president Bob Cartwright says some services aren’t needed right away: “We want to establish a home base for us, for all

our equipment and dewatering stuff—pumps and related piping and all those things. In the short term out goal is to establish a storage yard and in the longer term set up a shop within the next three to four years, establish a facility for the company there.” Cartwright added that Global would drill for water at the location. “When we do put up a shop facility we will need sewer and water and all that, but we would probably have to do an on site septic and probably drill a well,” he said. Global is currently focusing on one project, Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat smelter reconstruction project, and Cartwright said the industrial park location is a great base from which to undertake other work in the region.

Power plant potential The company does have a memorandum of understanding with the city which would lead to the purchase of three to five acres at the park. “A lot of this comes down to decisions made by the government. But the government is saying their decisions are based on industry’s decision. So you are kind of playing this zero-zero defensive game back and forth,” said Zawadzki of the intricate interaction currently underway to establish a LNG industry in BC. “A gas-fired peaker facility combines compressed air and natural gas in a combustion chamber. When burned, this fuel/air mixture expands rapidly, and this high-speed rush of hot gases is forced through a turbine, making it spin. The turbine is connected to an electrical generator, which creates a flow of electrons when it spins,” Zawadzki explained. Zawadzki, who briefed Terrace council Aug.

26, said a power plant would be an important tax source for the city and for the Kitselas. It would also act as a power fail safe for the area. He did acknowledge that peaker plants do have greenhouse gas emissions. “These things burn gas,” he said bluntly. “There’s basically no way around it.” Zawadzki said Terrace made a better location than Kitimat for a plant because of that town’s emissions from their growing industrial base. City councillor Brian Downie asked if the facility could also use wood waste, making it a co-generating peaking plant. Zawadzki said Veresen isn’t interested in using wood, partly because it is hard to secure financing when there is no guarantee that there will be a supply of wood waste in the long term, and that those facilities are best operated by mills who have control over that fuel source.

Rain stalls road work LANFEAR HILL was open to traffic Aug. 29 after weather and additional work pushed back an original repaving project finishing date by about a week. Heavy rains delayed the Terrace Paving Ltd. project and more deterioration than first expected were cited as reasons for the work that took three weeks. City works director Rob Schibli said $60,000 was added to the original $149,000 budget. Some minor shoulder widening took place but there are no plans for a sidewalk, he said. “Due to the oversteep side slopes and suspect stability on this road, a sidewalk (and road widening) will require retaining structures for much of its length and the costs would probably be in excess of $1.5 million,” said Schibli.

“I look forward to the day when this road can be fully reconstructed but it is not within our means at this time.” The city had budgeted $324,000 for both the Lanfear project and for resurfacing Skeenaview hill, also known as Kalum hill. “Works on Skeenaview hill will be reduced accordingly,” said Schibli in explaining that $60,000 will be taken from that project to pay for the extra Lanfear work. One other major city road project, a complete reconstruction of the 4700 Block of McConnell Ave., is still underway and will be completed this fall, he said. That project also went over budget by several hundred thousand dollars after being tendered twice by the city, which cited unforeseen challenges as the reason.

News In Brief THE BC Liquor Store here raised the most money of any government liquor store in the province for flood relief for Alberta. The local store raised $5,264 during the fundraiser which took place from June 29 to Aug. 10 in which customers could donate $2 or $5 or multiples of those amounts at all BC Liquor Store checkouts. In June, heavy rainfall caused heavy flooding in Calgary and High River and other Alberta cities and towns.

heading west of town could begin this winter with completion set for the spring. Until then, a sign has been posted banning longer vehicles from crossing the tracks northbound on Frank St. to Hwy16. The intersection was closed completely in June under orders by Transport Canada after two reports were received of approaching trains encountering long vehicles on the tracks. The intersection was reopened after the city and the provincial highways ministry worked out a deal to install highway lights that would work in conjunction with CN’s own lights and gates at the crossing. Normally, council was told, because the Frank St./Hwy16 intersection contains both city and provincial roads, the two parties would evenly divide the costs. But, in this case, the province agreed to pay 75 per cent. CN could pay for the work needed to ensure its own lights and gate at the tracks work in conjunction with the intersection traffic lights.

Frank crossing cost drops THE CITY is shelving, at least for this year, a plan to build a storage shed at its sewage treatment plant to free up money to help pay for its portion of the Frank St. railway level crossing traffic light project. The decision was reached by council Aug. 26 in order to meet a city commitment to pay 25 per cent of the lights project, which could run as high as $375,000. But there’s a chance the city and the provincial government, which will pay for 75 per cent of the lights project, could both pay less if they receive financial help from the federal government and CN. The storage project budget had been set at $60,000. Councillor Brian Downie asked where any additional money might come from and was told that the opportunity would present itself in the 2014 budget year. ICBC was also mentioned as a source of money in that it does finance road projects to improve safety. Installation of the lights at the intersection of Frank St. and Hwy16

Look up, way up on fall fair Sunday By Amara Janssens BE SURE to look up at the sky during fall fair this year. Between 11-2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 8, the Terrace Model Airplane Club will be flying their models in a show to dazzle spectators below. Dennis Raymond, club president, said club members will be flying two to three model aircraft for the three-hour performance. Each performance will be about 10 minutes in length before recharging and refuelling is needed. “Your brain is really busy when flying a model,” Raymond said. The model aircraft resemble in every way a real aircraft, Raymond explained and even run with gas combustion engines. Batteries provide power for lights and the remote control. “Basically they are scale models,” he said. One of those models is the S-BACH 342, which is powered by a 50cc model aircraft engine and runs on a combination of high-octane gas mixed with oil. And this seven-foot wide aircraft, with a 22 inch propeller, is 20 pounds and is one of the larger model airplanes in the club’s fleet. The aircraft are con-

City of Terrace achieves its first success in years long effort to attract industry

HE sale by the city of nearly 10 acres of land at its Skeena Industrial Development Park to Global Dewatering for $250,000 represents the first sign of success for a project going back nearly 20 years. More commonly known as the airport industrial lands, the park consists of 2,000 acres of property under control of the provincial government. But it was the federal government that unlocked the potential for city control of the provincial crown land south of the airport. That took place in the mid-1990s when the federal government decided it was getting out of the small airport business. And since the airport was on provincial land that took in all those acres, turning the facility over to a local authority when the federal government exited the scene put into play a city move to acquire the land for itself. Then-mayor Jack Talstra and then-city administrator Ron Poole and other city senior staffers spearheaded the move. The theory was simple – companies would do well to set up in Terrace. It was already the service and supply centre for the northwest as well as being in the geographic centre of the region. South was the Alcan (now Rio Tinto Alcan) smelter, west were the port facilities at Prince Rupert and north was promising mining territory. The first years were spent in negotiations with the NDP government of the day as the city angled for a way to acquire the land at virtually no charge. The provincial government, however, insisted on a sizeable amount just to turn over the land. In 1997, frustrated city councillor David D. Hull provided his opinion of the position: “It’s 2,000 acres of gravel and scrubby little

trees and they’ve going on about timber value,” he said of the provincial response. “You’d think it was the Carmanah the way they’re holding onto the bloody thing.” Even the defeat of the NDP by the provincial Liberals, considered more business friendly, did little to change the situation at first. But by 2004, Talstra was able to report an improved position, suggesting that deal was possible by 2005. Things may have been helped by the failure of the province’s own real estate arm to sell property on what it called Midway Plateau. Talstra’s prediction came true – in the fall of 2005, he announced the framework of a deal had been reached with the province. A free Crown grant for some of the land would be provided and a larger amount, more than 2,500 acres, would be made available under option to the city whereby it could buy portions when and as needed. The idea was that the city would line up

property deals with a company and then purchase the land in question from the province in order to complete the deal with the company. “It all ties together and bodes really well,” said Talstra in noting the proximity of the lands to CN tracks, electrical power and roads. A Pacific Northern Gas natural gas pipeline runs right through the property. Although not suitable for heavy industry because of the airport next door, Talstra felt it would be an ideal location for light industry and for companies looking for cheap, flat and serviceable land relatively close to the Port of Prince Rupert. During one of his annual state of the city addresses to the chamber of commerce around the time, Talstra asked the audience to consider the impact of having a rail spur to the property connecting it to the CN main line. The free Crown grant land, mostly on either end of the main runway, has since been turned over to the nonprofit airport authority. While the city now

had a clear deal to market industrial land, it lacked the money for such basic necessities such as a road leading off of Hwy37 to the site not to mention services such as power and water. It did land one potential client in 2009 when, amid a flurry of interest from companies interested in converting northwest forests into various types of bio-fuel, a Calgary bioenergy company signed a memorandum of understanding that might have lead to a property purchase deal. That memorandum expired and was never renewed. The access problem was answered in 2009 when the federal and provincial governments each promised the city $668,000, provided it came up with $668,000 of its own. The vast majority of the money has since been spent constructing a turnoff from Hwy37 and access road to the planned industrial park. City administrator Heather Avison says the city has to spend $28,000 more to take full advantage of the

federal-provincial matching program, which runs out next year. “All monies to date have gone to the intersection project. Some monies are still required for completion reports, etc. and the remainder will be spent on road

subgrade construction,” she adds. In 2011, the city dipped into its bank account and bought 88 acres outright from the province and it is 10 acres of this piece that it has now sold to Global Dewatering. Last year, the city was on the verge of

another industrial park deal, this time to Chinese-owned YaoRun Wood. But it decided at the last minute to lease another city-owned property, the former Skeena Cellulose log yard on Keith Ave., as a spot to gather logs for export.

Kitselas crucial to park’s success A SIGNING ceremony at the airport on a sunny April day in 2007 established the groundwork for what’s regarded as a necessity today for development in British Columbia. Glenn Bennett, then the chief councillor at Kitselas, and Jack Talstra, then the mayor of Terrace, put their names to a memorandum of understanding setting out the broad framework for a partnership to develop the industrial park. The land is within Kitselas traditional territory and an agreement between the city and the Kitselas would answer a key question for potential industrial users before it was even asked – has there been involvement and approval by the First Nation on whose traditional territory the land is located. The 2007 signing resulted in a more formal 2011 agreement setting out who pays for what. Sales and lease monies will first

go to repay development costs, then it will go to repay any losses, then to repay contributions made to the joint venture, then to an infrastructure reserve account, and then will be split between the parties, according to the joint-venture agreement. Terrace will assumes 100 per cent of the losses, which will be a charge against revenues. For tax revenue, laid out in the revenue sharing agreement, a formula based on the census population of Terrace and Kitselas is used to determine each amount. “We are the first First Nation in B.C. to enter into such an agreement and I’m pretty proud of that,” said Judy Gerow, the Kitselas chief councillor in 2011. “It just strengthens the relationship between Kitselas and Terrace and I’m excited about the prospects of entering into the business partnership with them.”

BC Hydro WITH BILLIONS of dollars needed to repair aging infrastructure, more billions needed for the massive Site C hydro project in northeastern B.C., piles of debt tucked away in dark corners and a demand for everincreasing amounts of power, provincial crown corporation BC Hydro is one big financial behemoth. It is, to use a cliché phrase, a law unto itself and in the northwest at this time, is second only to Rio Tinto Alcan in terms of financial impact thanks to its Northwest Transmission Line. But for all of its corporate bluster, there’s a bit of a social engineering side to BC Hydro as revealed in one aspect of the Northwest Transmission Line. Somewhere deep inside the crown corporation one or more individuals correctly realized the region and its residents were unprepared for the potential direct and indirect jobs from the transmission line. From that was born what is now called the Northwest Labour Market Partnership, a bulky title assigned to a collection of government, economic development agency and industry representatives gathered together with the goal of marrying up trained workers with industry needs. It organized a jobs conference here this spring and has now developed iChinook, a website to help all of that along. BC Hydro can be rightly criticized for any number of reasons but on this occasion, it did its job. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

But Dr. Phil’s guests today were a couple feuding over the way the remarried wife finances her 23-year-old son’s living expenses, pays his child support as well as some months $1,200 for video games. I heard the son say his mother had given him a bus pass so he could job hunt but he had never ridden public transit and didn’t know how. “If she would show me how,” he said, he would be able to look for work. What an inconsiderate mother. Why had she not bought him a car and kept the tank full? Did she expect her baby to get by without his own set of wheels? How unfeeling. The earliest incident to

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI make me ask how well informed can our young people be came during the Florida trial for the Neighbourhood Watch member’s shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old who was on his way home carrying a can of soda and a package of Skittles when the Neighbourhood Watch member, who was not on duty, marked him as a burglar and in the ensuing encounter, killed the young man. At the time Trayvon was shot, he had been on the phone with his friend, Jeantel, a 16-year-old girl. Jeantel had heard the shot that killed her friend before he dropped

his phone and the connection was broken. Yet for two days she didn’t know Trayvon had been killed. In court, she said she never watched TV news. And though she admitted to texting almost all the time, no one of her cell phone friends mentioned that grim detail to her. They were equally oblivious to circumstances around them. Not knowing would require concentrated avoidance given the immediate outcry countrywide that spawned marches and demonstrations in front of government buildings especially court houses and police stations in many states. More recently, a 16-yearold girl in California was abducted by a family friend after he killed her mother and young brother and torched the house with their bodies. He fled with the teen to Idaho where he hid his car under brush before the two of them, with his grey cat, hiked into the woods equipped with little more than a light tent. Amber Alerts were posted immediately but four horseback riders near Cascade, Idaho had been out of touch with media when they met

the two hikers near Morehead Lake. The riders thought the hikers looked poorly equipped for the terrain but it wasn’t until the riders reached home and were watching the TV news that they learned of the Amber Alert and recognized the girl on the TV screen. One rider contacted the Boise sheriff’s office. With that tip, FBI and crack search teams flew to the area where the hikers had been spotted. Seeing the cat near the two campers clinched their identity and the abduction soon ended with the abductor dead. Interviewed on TV news only days after the search for her ended, the rescued teen said she had never before heard of an Amber Alert, had no idea what it was. This despite an average 2,100 Amber Alerts being issued every day in the U.S. Mark Twain said, “The man who doesn’t read is no better off than the man who can’t read.” Kids today can be as ill informed as I was with only radio and weeklies.

SIGNBOARD explains the history and work accomplished at a Fort McMurray tailings pond in Alberta.

Much to learn from the Fort Dear Sir: I feel run down and my throat hurts. Is it because I feel choked or is there something I cannot swallow? I have just returned home to Smithers from an Enbridge-sponsored guided tour of the Fort McMurray tarsands. Upon request and to their credit, Enbridge agreed to include me in their latest junket in spite of my open op-

position to the Northern Gateway Pipeline Project. Fort McMurray is a hole in the boreal forest, 467 km north of Edmonton. From the air, the sprawling housing for its more than 100,000 inhabitants looks as if it is bursting at the seams because Crown land allocations are limited and there are seemingly constant traffic jams.

Everything is young and new, including the population whose median age is 31. Superlatives abound: largest airport traffic in Canada, nearly completed largest recreational complex in Canada. Average house prices have reached $650,000. There are two methods for extracting tarsands heavy crude called bitumen; mining and in situ recov-

ery. Both require large quantities of water and energy. Mining is an open pit operation using the gigantic trucks often shown in the media. Interestingly, 30 per cent of the truck drivers are female who are very much liked for their gentler handling of the equipment. Bitumen mining requires the controversial tailing ponds lining the Athabasca River,

which also receives the “treated” water. In situ recovery uses steam and does not require tailing ponds. Suncor boasted about its 200 hectares reclaimed area representing less than one per cent of the land they used. A new directive from the Alberta Energy Regulations requires the company to reclaim 50 per cent in the future. Cont’d Page A12

Dear Sir: Littering, as we all know, is very harmful to our environment yet some people continue to do it. Perhaps they are just too lazy to throw their garbage in the bins provided everywhere in town. No one wants litter spoiling our land, lakes, or rivers. Besides being unsightly, litter pollutes the environment. It’s dangerous and has the potential to threaten our lives. A few days ago I was walking around Cassie Hall Elementary School and I saw litter all around the front and back of this amazing school. I picked it all up and threw it in one of the two trash bins located at the school. The garbage I found contained six beer cans! Some still had beer in them! I found this alarming because beer is used by adults who should know better. Dirty syringes, food, wrappers and broken glass have been found in the past. This is hazardous to everyone and is an invitation to bears, stray dogs, etc. A school is no place for litter, nor is any place. It is one thing to not recycle, but to throw your garbage on the ground is just careless and stupid. People! We need to start using the garbage bins that are placed conveniently around our town. Not only will this improve our environment; it will also save animal habitats. Our beaches, parks, schools, and streets will be clean and beautiful. Not everyone litters but for those who do, please use this information wisely. I know if we all work together we can make our beautiful community a better place for everyone. The next time you’re finished with an item that belongs in the trash don’t be afraid to just put it in the nearest trash bin. These bins will not bite or harm you. In fact, I am sure, if they could talk, they would say thank you. Kimberley Wilson, Terrace, BC

Recycling math doesn’t seem to add up

t its July 22 regular meeting Terrace council voted to “accept the contract to provide the service of residential packaging and printed paper supply under MMBC’s Stewardship Plan.” The vote was unanimous with councillor Brian Downie absent. It is a decision I fear city taxpayers will come to regret. Just to briefly recap, MMBC is the Multi-Material BC program intended to have materials such as paper products, cardboard and plastics – except plastic bottles – collected separately from the rest of household garbage and delivered to a sorting depot operated by MMBC. Under the system adopted by Terrace, the collection of ordinary garbage would go from the

current once a week to twice a week with the recyclables, as defined by MMBC, collected on the alternating weeks. Unlike a blue box system, residents would not have to sort the recyclables. They would simply chuck them into a special bag and the sorting would be handled by the depot. So what’s wrong with that? It’s the math that troubles me. The city estimates it will receive $134,000 per year from MMBC for doing the collection – note well this is an estimate only, not a rock solid guarantee. But pegs the cost in the first year of the program at $144,000, a negative $10,000 difference. (In future years, the cost is estimated to be $131,000, a hair’s breadth less than the estimated

GUEST COMMENT

MALCOLM BAXTER revenue.) Now the city will argue that it calculates it will save $81,000 a year under the new system.

I am puzzled by that claim. Under the existing system a garbage truck turns up at the end of my driveway once a week, every week. And under the new system, a garbage truck will turn up at the end of my driveway once a week, every week. So where’s the saving? It must come from the fact that every second week the city is being paid to do the collection by MMBC. But if the city is being paid $134,000 per annum by MMBC, why are the savings only $81,000? You see my problem. And I am not the only one. Kitimat council invited waste management specialists from within its community to outline

what they thought of the new system being offered to Kitimat residents. They included Norm DeLong from Kitimat Valley Disposal – Kitimat garbage collection is handled by a private contractor. After detailing the “hidden” costs that substantially reduced the “revenue” from MMBC, DeLong gave his verdict: “There’s no way I would bid on it...honestly I wouldn’t want it.” Of course his is a private company so if the numbers go south he has to eat the loss. Whereas the City of Terrace simply has to hike taxes. We shall see what we shall see. Retired editor of The Northern Sentinel in Kitimat, Malcolm Baxter now calls Terrace home.

Man braves north in electric car By JOSH MASSEY

AN ENTHUSIASTIC Nissan Leaf owner, Michael Baxter has a joke he likes to tell about electric car owners which goes something like this: “How do you know that someone has an electric car? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.” Baxter is indeed enthusiastic about the $45,000 purchase he made last fall. For one thing, he’s a member of the Leaf Club which brings owners together to educate them about the stunning features of their speedy eco cars. He also has an app on his phone called PlugShare which he uses to find the closest charging station in order to plan trips like his recent one to Terrace. Baxter explained his recent trip north from Vancouver Island to visit his brother was a great opportunity to see if going electric would work in the north despite the fact that, according to the app’s map of charging stations, the north looked a bit like the Bermuda Triangle for electric car transit. “Foot on the brake, press start. That’s all you have to do,” said Baxter, as he invites the reporter into his car

and shows off certain features of his silent automobile such as swift acceleration and regenerative breaking that charges the battery using kinetic energy. He set out in early August from his home in Colwood near Victoria, which he says is a mecca for electric cars and skimmed towards Port Hardy, a route along which charging stations became fewer and farther in-between. He made it to Nanaimo with a safe two of 12 bars remaining on his charge meter but between Nanaimo and Port Hardy, in a town called Woss, the limitations of rural charging started to hit home for Baxter. The level two 220 volt station in Woss meant a six hour stop, most of which Baxter spent lounging at a local hotel. In the more populated areas, Baxter explained, the 480 volt level three charging stations are available that can do a swift 30 minute full recharge. Once he got to Port Hardy where there are a couple of level two stations, he next took the ferry to Prince Rupert where the situation became more pressing

Michael Baxter shows off his electric car’s several plug-in options used depending on the kind of charger. as he found himself in a town with no charging station whatsoever (an issue he has now taken up with local officials), so he had to book a hotel in advance that had an exterior plug for his Leaf’s special extension cord – a 16 hour level one recharge done on a

standard 110 volt outlet. Then onto Terrace going 60 km/hr on Hwy16 at first to conserve power, pulling onto the shoulder to let the combustion engines by. Baxter made it the 143 kilometres to his brother’s house in Terrace, a town where he

was happy to find there are now three level two charging stations. Baxter is still optimistic about the Leaf’s chance in the northern markets, saying that it might serve well as a second vehicle, as the electric could be used locally in places that

have charging stations such as Terrace and Houston. At $45,000, the cost might be a lot for some people, but Baxter says it starts to pay itself off pretty quickly with only one servicing needed a year. “It’s wonderful not

to pay anything when you are driving around town,” he said. “I pay $15 a month to do 1,000 kilometres.” As for long trips along Hwy 16, Baxter said that would require lengthy stops for level one recharges at hotels or friends’ houses.

Wheeling ‘round the world

Josh Massey PHOTO

Road Warriors Kevin and Trevor Hansen at rest in Thornhill. They stayed in their grandmother Elise Hugi’s home on an estate where their aunt and uncle Susan and Mark Marchand also live.

Kevin Hansen, 30, wears the same riding jacket he had on when he and his brother Trevor, 33, first set out on their great adventure. A year-and-a-half plus dozens of countries later, the jacket is severely tattered but still cuts the wind and beats back the rain. And Kevin says he is attached to it after everything they’ve been through. Even if the brotherly relationship is just slightly strained at this point, they have survived what most pairs never could: a world tour by bicycle. The brothers took a rare break in Terrace on their final leg in mid August at their grandmother Elise Hugi’s house in Thornhill. “We don’t like to sit around much. It was pretty much just go go go,” said Kevin. When they departed their home city Victoria in April 2012, their motivations were simple: get out, see other countries, push themselves physically every day, and share their experience on their blog. They started in Victoria and went all the way to Cape Spear, Newfoundland, then flew to London and rolled through Europe, cruised the Middle East and the Stans, sped through Central Asia, then jetted from Singapore to Australia, touring New Zealand before zipping over to Central America and topping it all off in

the United States where they plied the craggy corridors of the Rockies all the way up to the Northwest of B.C. The wisdom and messages the bright-eyed brothers have brought back just might make others see the world with renewed compassion and awe. Kevin, who takes care of social details like interviews (Trevor does GPS and tire changes—160 flat tires, to be precise), said the big eye-opener was how accessible various countries were. “Iran and the U.S. were the friendliest places,” said Kevin. “The world is not as bad a place as sometimes it’s made out to be I would say. Especially Iran, they’re the most hospitable place in the world.” They did accidentally bike a little too close to Iran’s infamous nuclear project near Tehran though. Officials took their cameras, but handed them back in half an hour. “It was all legit. Everything was fine, and they even gave us a juice box,” said Kevin. Hotels and restaurants were a luxury and they spent most nights camping. While they found the bad manners in China tiresome, that huge eastern country compensated with cheap, tasty food. And South America might have had the worst roads, but it was in the U.S. that they got the most flat tires, partly because they found there was more debris on the shoulders.

‘Frankenbike’ rolls THE TWO cyclists from Chicago who were stranded in Terrace early last week after one of them had their custom-outfitted bike stolen are back on the road. McBike bike shop mechanic Paul Bertrand worked after hours with the pair at the Skeena Bicycle Service in the basement of George Little House constructing a new bike “from the ground up” out of spare parts, calling it “frankenbike.” Mark Jirik and cycling partner Nate Prescott are on their way from Alaska to Argentina to raise money for a neighbourhood house in Chicago which provides assistance to low income immigrant families. They were stranded in Terrace because Jirik had his bike stolen from a rest stop east of here Aug. 25. “This bike is the single most important possession in my life,” said Jirik in an email soon after the incident. “In this moment I feel absolutely broken.” With support from McBike, they were back on the road three days later and had made it 200 km to Smithers by Aug. 29. The pair, both in their 20s and of modest means, have been on the road for a month and were camped at

THIS IS WHAT SAFETY LOOKS LIKE AT THE PORT OF PRINCE RUPERT.

PAUL BERTRAND (front) works with Mark Jirik (back left) and Nate Prescott (back right). the Sanderson rest area east of here on Hwy16 when the theft occurred. When he exited his tent the morning of Aug. 25, Jirik found that his bike was missing from where he left it a mere five feet from his tent, out of sight of Hwy16. The bike make is a Surly Long Haul Trucker with 62

cm frame in matte grey colour. It has racks on both back and front, wheels that appear smaller than a standard road bike, and has custom-built 48 spoke White Industries hubs. The handle bars are curved. “You expect your bike to be stolen in the city, not camping,” said Jirik, adding it is an expensive lesson.

At the Port of Prince Rupert, commitment to safe shipping is part of who we are. Local experts and organizations work together every day to apply industry-leading practices in vessel handling and harbour safety. Tejinder and the senior marine inspectors of Transport Canada are part of the picture. Get the facts today at www.rupertport.com/safety.

Much to learn from Fort Mac experience Nobody knows if this is even possible. I felt a mix of fascination and horror; fascination came from witnessing the technological prowess and accomplishments. Horror came not only from the scale of the destruction, but also from a sense of planetary disconnection. There is no doubt that the young, happy, extremely well paid people and the significant number of foreign workers who could not dream of a $80,000/yr salary drying laundry in their own country, are all there for the money. However, this is an unprecedented destruction of land, water and air allowed by extremely lenient federal and provincial regulations. A recently released report shows 4,063 chronic and repetitive contraventions by the major players between 1996-2012 with an enforcement rate of 0.9 per cent and a median penalty of $4,500. Further, the area affected is larger than the extraction area. Carcinogenic products associated with bitumen extraction were found in lake sediments 90 km from the extraction site. None of that was mentioned in the factoids delivered by the attractive tour guide. Neither was mentioned the contribution of the tarsands extraction to global warming, the most crucial issue of our time. Even if as claimed, the contribution is only a few percentage points to global carbon emissions, such added percentage points can be the tipping point for disastrous consequences to come. It appears like a delusional world propped up by our heavily lobbied federal leaders promoting their aggrandized vision of Canada as a super energy power. By tripling production in the next 20 years, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers representative explained that there still will be 100 years left of production (instead of 500). Are we to continue letting giant oil multinationals decide on our behalf or are we to develop a vision that will protect the planet and

include the well-being of future generations? The importance of the contribution of tarsands extraction to the Canadian economy is

not supported by the numbers presented during the visit. If Alberta is receiving $2.3 billion in royalties, why has it recorded a $2.8 billion

deficit in 2012? Federal taxes amounting to $1.5 billion represent a rather small percentage of the $1.74 trillion Canadian GDP.

No wonder I feel choked. The future lays in careful planning for the reduction of our energy consumption and greenhouse gas emis-

sions with a renewed sense of world citizenship and deep care for the future generations. Josette Wier, Smithers, B.C.

Strange noises baffle all Nor, said Gladman, is the sound an asteroid or thermal burst like the one that shattered hundreds of windows in Russia this winter. “The fact that it’s an extended sound rules that out,” said Gladman. “I would favour a more geological and not an astronomical explanation as a better road to the truth.” Director of geological engineering at UBC, Erik Eberhardt, doesn’t think it would be anything such as the scraping of tectonic plates as some pseudoscientists have hazarded to guess online. “For it to scrape enough at depth

for people to hear it would have to generate a lot of movement. People would have felt it before they heard it,” said Eberhardt, adding that he thought the sound seemed more metallic than ‘rock on rock,’ and ruled out the sliding of glaciers. “Maybe it’s somebody playing around with a horn,” he said. Reports of similar noises have come from various locations around Canada and the rest of the world, and were heard before this past June in Terrace, though the sounds were less intensely loud as those described this time by witnesses.

MEMBERS of the local Shamrock 4-H club will be showing off their animal projects to those attending the Skeena Valley Fall Fair all weekend long at the Thornhill Community Grounds. “It’s something that’s fairly popular with the public,” said Laurie Muller, key leader of the Shamrock 4-H club. Throughout the year, 27 4-H members have been raising and taking care of their animals, which will now be judged. At various checkpoints throughout the last 12 months, their animals were assessed, but now it’s the real deal. On Sept. 7, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., all things will taken into consideration to assess how well animals were cared for. Yvette Favron is the poultry leader for the 4-H club, and said chickens raised from chicks will be featured. Raising and caring for animals teaches children about animal husbandry, Favron said. But the skills can also branch out from them to include entrepreneurial skills. “They may choose to sell them, so they learn how to run a business,”

St. Matthew’s Anglican Church is getting a piece of the Skeena Valley Fall Fair pie this year. This year, church volunteers will be serving up pieces of homemade pie to fair-goers once again in the fair exhibit hall. Four volunteers will be making between 40-45 pies, ranging in flavours from mixed berry, fruit, raisin and nut pies, such as pecan. The church ladies have been doing this since the 1980s but haven’t had a chance to serve up their delicious treats during the years the fair was closed. Pie is sold by the slice, at $3.50 a piece. Money raised all goes back to help the church and charities. For example, to the child in South Africa the church sponsors. Sales proceeds also support Ksan House and the emergency shelter that operates during the winter months. “It’s quite fulfilling,” said organizer Susan Kinney. “[Church] ladies always pitch in to sell.” In previous years, the church has sold out. Pie lovers can also buy refreshments. As to what is the most popular pie, Kinney says there are a few contenders. “I would say apple...people like apple, but then again I’d say raspberry or blueberry.” And, as a reminder, gates for the Skeena Valley Fall Fair Sept. 7 and 8 open at the Thornhill Community Grounds at 9 each morning. Entries for produce, crafts, preserving etc. should be submitted Sept. 6 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Thornhill Community Hall immediately adjacent to the grounds.

In an open letter to customers, Mark Blucher, interim CEO of ICBC, says the increase is needed to keep up with increasing bodily injury claims, with higher payouts as more people turn to lawyers to dispute their insurance payouts. Blucher said injury claim volume is also rising, including crashes involving drivers distracted by smartphones, and more pedestrians and cyclists on roads.

Local runner finishes first in race series

Teresa Nightingale PHOTO

ed ansems nears the finish line of the 10km Richmond Oval Race. He placed first in his age group.

LOCAL RUNNER Ed Ansems accomplished two top three placings in two race series which he says is something that he will not likely do again. He took part in five races to qualify for awards in the Lower Mainland Road Race Series and in the latest one, the Richmond Oval 10km race, he placed first in his age group and first in the series in his age group 65 to 69. “This is the first time that I have run in enough races to qualify for the series awards, so I was quite pleased at having placed first,” he said. He decided to run in this series and the Timex Road Race Series after completing three races that were BC Championship events of 5km, 8km and 10km. The Timex Road Race Series involved 15 races of various distances and they were held on the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island. “The 65 to 69 age group in the Timex series was a closely contested event,” he said. “I placed second to a runner from Vancouver Island.” The total points awarded for Ansems and the first place winner could not have been any closer – Ansems had 3,152 to the winner’s 3,155. “I tried to overcome him and gain the four or five points in my last two races (one in Kelowna and one at Stanley Park in Van-

couver) but the weather was too warm for me so I ended up running slower than in previous races this year,” he said, adding that in this series, points were awarded based on a runner’s time, not on the placing in the age group. “I won a Timex Ironman watch in the Lower Mainland Road Race Series, and I’m not sure what is involved in the Timex Series,” he said. “For the most part, the prizes are incidental. It’s the ‘glory’ of coming in first, or in the top three that means anything.” Ansems said he usually only runs two or three races a year in the Vancouver area but this year was fortunate enough to do seven races there from March to August. The time commitment and the costs involved in running that many races are usually more than he can do, he said. “But, I am extremely pleased with my results this year and am looking forward to one more race in the fall,” he said, adding that will be the Las Vegas Half Marathon Nov. 17. It should be very competitive in his age group because last year, about 30,000 runners were in the half marathon, he added. He doubts he will do the two series again as the costs were higher than he’d want to spend too often, the races were very close together and it took a toll on him mentally and physically.

Terrace reclaims King of the Mountain crown THE KING of the Mountain crown has returned to Terrace. Chris Hampton, who was second last year, edged out last year’s champion Judson Rowse from Port Edward by 17 seconds, winning the 40+ category and overall race with a time of 0:49:38.1. Rowse’s second place time for the category and overall race was 0:49:55.7. Willie Muller came third with a time of 0:56:24.6 and seventh overall of the 61 runners. Terrace runners won the remaining categories with the exception of the Male 18-39 category which went to Smithers’ Dave Percy with a time of 0:51:52.2, which placed him third overall. Second was James Clay with 0:53.06.2, which put him fourth overall and Cody Skog was third with 0:53:22.4 for fifth place overall. Eight-year-old Kohen Butler won the Youth 17 and under group with a

time of 1:07:32.5 followed by Myah Bowal with 1:43.41.2 and Kelsyn Bowal with 1:43:58.8. Butler’s time was also good enough for 26th place overall. Tara Irwin won the Female 18-39 group with a time of 0:59:17.2, which put her 13th overall. Gabe Newman of Smithers was second with 1:00:36.9, placing her 16th overall and Teresa Shiflett was third with 1:06:08.2 and 23rd overall. Last year’s winner Donna Hull was unable to run this year due to injury. Terrace women swept the top of the Female 40+ group with Sherrie Hamer winning with 1:07:36.5 and 28th overall, Kim Barriere was second with 1:12:24.5 and 37th overall and Lana Raposo was third with 1:18:09.6 and 42nd overall. Organizer Nadene Butler said runners came from as far away as Germany, Nanaimo, Courtenay and Burns Lake.

“

I know that fish and people can coexist.” – George W. Bush. Releasing fish is a hot button topic in the world of recreational fishing, and outside it. Only the vitriolic debate over the use of bait trumps it. The arguments over releasing one’s catch have cooled down considerably as catch and release fishing has acquired a wider following due to the initiative of fisheries managers who quickly appreciated its utility both as a conservation tool and as a way to create blue ribbon angling opportunities. Releasing fish was also given a boost thanks to the marketing of the freshwater sport fishing industry, which came to the inescapable conclusion that killing fish was inimical to their profit margins. Save for a few principled publications, sport fishing magazines are nothing more than glossy brochures for the sport fishing industry. In this genre, fly fishing magazines are dominant; and in fly fishing magazines the notion of killing a fish is as rare as a queer couple tying the knot in a Baptist church. I began releasing most of the fish I hooked because my appetite for fishing exceeded my appetite for fish. I went fishing more often. As a result, my predatory skills increased along with my powers of observation. That increase in awareness led to the inescapable conclusion that fish populations were under considerable pressure, and recognition of the fact that if I wanted to continue

continue to save countless small fish and many large ones, but hook size and the length of flies or lures are refinements that will go even farther to save fish. I can testify to the fact that even Chinook salmon can be held by short shanked hooks with size 6 and 8 hooks. In Britain short hooks with gapes of 10 and 12 are commonly used to subdue large Atlantic salmon. Tying these hooks at the end of long leeches and streamers, however, defeats the purpose of the smaller hook as they are more likely to lodge in sensitive areas deeper in a fish’s maw. Using the stoutest leader a small hook will accommodate and fighting a fish aggressively reduces the time the creature is played and the stress associated with it. Handling fish should be avoided if possible. This is made easier with the use of tools like the forceps constructed with a sleeve that can be slid down the line so that the hook can be freed with a gentle twist of the wrist. Finally, an earnest discussion must be initiated on the number of fish that can be caught and released by an angler. Bragging about size has been supplanted by boasting about numbers of fish caught, with the result that too many fishers are attempting to catch as many fish as humanly possible every time they go fishing. The responsible angler of today limits his catch to limit his kill.
