■■ Heave! acklands grainger’s team kicks off the third annual Terrace Fire Truck Pull fundraiser for the United Way on Emerson St. Oct. 5. The men heaved their way to victory for the third straight year with the fastest time of 12.26 seconds in their first of two pulls and beating their fastest time last year of 12.36 seconds. The “bunch of big, strapping lads,” as emcee Nick Young referred to them, also raised the most money for a team with $1,375. The award for most spirited team went to the Hospital Heavers. Nine teams took part and raised about $6,000, said Kristine Kofoed, United Way community development and campaign coordinator.

“They just vanished.” By JOSH MASSEY THE LAST time Connor Sabo saw his older brother Michael, known to his family and friends as Devlin, and his friend Ike Murray was early in the morning on Sept. 22, 2013. The three had driven east of Terrace on Hwy16 before parking Connor’s truck and taking his boat across to the north side of the Skeena River to the Lorne Creek area to pick mushrooms. After mooring the boat near Lorne Creek, the three men hiked 15 minutes up a trail until they found pine mushrooms growing, and

had there split off. Connor, who prefers to pick alone, said he’d meet Devlin and Ike back at his boat by 4 p.m. Despite the fact that none of them had ever been on that particular hillside before, they were confident that the natural boundaries provided by the river, the hill top and two creeks on either side would make it easy to get back at the end of the day. A seasoned mushroom picker, Connor had invited Devlin and Ike along for fun. Both his brother and Ike were novice mushroom pickers, though Ike

had some picking and bush experience, while Devlin, though inexperienced in the woods, had his Level 3 First Aid certificate. When the pair didn’t return on time, Connor said he “kept walking back up the trail just screaming for them, hoping they would be walking down. But I just got no response.” Connor said he waited four hours, lighting a fire on the beach and even trying to catch fish because he was getting hungry. Eventually he decided to boat back across the Skeena River before it became too dark to run the river, leav-

ing a jerry can full of gas so Ike and Devlin could easily spark a fire. Before he left, he also wrote a message in the sand that said “gone for help.” All three had rain gear and food for a day. Since his brother had first aid training, Connor was confident they would be okay for the night. He returned the next day with Terrace Search and Rescue members, and continued searching with a growing number of search and rescue members and volunteers all week until the official search was called off on Sept. 29. Connor first went to the

spot where he had moored the boat the day before and where he had left a can of gas. It was untouched so he knew they did not make it back down to the river. Early on during the search, Connor found the most obvious sign of Devlin and Ike – four Safeway bags full of mushrooms and an imprint from one of Ike’s cork boots on a log. Experienced pickers would use backpacks for their mushrooms or buckets, leaving Connor convinced these plastic bags belonged to the missing pair.

THE Kitselas Development Corporation has surfaced as the latest party to either buy or express an interest in buying land at the City of Terrace-owned Skeena Industrial Park located just south of the Northwest Regional Airport. It’s poised to buy 165 acres of land at the park in a deal worth $1.647 million, development corporation manager Jim Dopson said last week. But the deal also hinges on the corporation, which is the Kitselas First Nation’s economic development arm, in turn negotiating leases with two as-of-yet unnamed construction companies looking to set up operations on the acreage because of its central location. “We’ve been waiting for a few pieces to fall together for the development before we make the purchase,” said Kitselas corporation manager Jim Dopson, adding that he hopes to confirm the purchase by the end of October and that he is confident it will go through. “We should know by month end. We will have some statements of intent to work with,” said Dopson. “We were looking at purchasing at it and developing it with partners to take advantage of the pipelines and the different construction projects that are in the area.” The Kitselas Development Corporation is looking to lease out 60-75 acres immediately with development of that beginning next spring with members of Kitselas First Nation hired on as part of the agreement.

Mystery surrounds story of missing men The bags of mushrooms were dropped along the side of a swamp at the bottom of the hill they had been picking on, and Connor said this discovery pointed to Devlin and Ike having made it down to the train tracks that border the Skeena while rushing to meet

Connor at the agreed upon 4 p.m. meeting time at the boat. “It’s beautiful walking after [the swamp],” said Connor. “They just vanished after that.” Given that the area is bordered by two creeks, a steep mountain and a river, Connor found it hard to believe they

could have been lost for more than a day. And the fact that a massive search and rescue operation didn’t retrieve them within a week pointed to other possibilities, he said. “We had a specific time to meet up at 4 o’clock at my boat, so I know they were coming

to meet me. I think they cut down too soon and had to get around the swamp, they must have got out in the dark,” said Connor. From there, he thinks they could have tried following the train tracks west, and were picked up on a logging road by somebody who had evil intentions.

“There’s a couple psychic predictions going around, that they were taken unwillingly across the river,” said Connor. But he’s quick to admit nobody knows what happened, saying volunteer searchers were using old mining maps to investigate the pos-

sibility his brother and Ike fell down a shaft. And search and rescue team members have pinpointed difficult-toaccess crevasses along Lorne Creek as possible locations of an accident. Connor’s now back at work and trying to cope with what has happened. “It’s mind

boggling and it tortures the brain to try and think what happened to them,” Connor added. “When I come home [from work] I see all their stuff,” he said. “It’s God damn, guys, come home already.” For more on the search for the two men, see page 5.

Fraud charges are laid TERRACE RCMP are saying Kenny Fryia, 35, has been charged with four counts of fraud. An investigation began on September 24 when a local business reported that Fryia had not paid for acquired accommodation in excess of $5,000. This led to numerous other businesses reporting other incidents, say police. Three of the fraud charges laid against Fryia are for amounts of more than $5,000 and one is an amount under $5,000. Terrace RCMP Constable Angela Rabut said the allegations centre around someone posing as a company representative seeking work-related supplies and equipment. Fryia was on a conditional sentence order from Dease Lake at the time of the offences. He was arrested and incarcerated for the remainder of his sentence. Fryia has since been released on bail and is to appear in court here Nov. 19. Rabut said businesses should exercise reasonable caution in dealing with unfamiliar people and companies.

Kitsumkalum officially open long-awaited health centre THE RAIN didn’t dampen the grand opening of the Kitsumkalum Health Centre Sept. 30. People from the community, Kitsumkalum chief councillor Don Roberts, Mildred Roberts, Terrace city officials, many others and Health Canada representative Prince George-Peace River MP Bob Zimmer, came out for the opening. Mildred Roberts said she worked for Kitsumkalum Health for nearly 20 years, wanted to work until she turned 80 and told Health Canada she would continue working until the health centre was done. She, along with a Kitsumkalum child, cut the ribbon following her opening prayer and chief Don Roberts’ opening remarks and thank-yous to those involved with making the health centre a reality. Visitors then were let in to look around the building and then to the Kitsumkalum Hall for a feast. Project management of the 4,423 square foot one-storey facility fell to Vancouver-based Unitech Construction Management with Lubor Trubka Associates Architects handling design and other project responsibilities. Built on a slab, seven feet of rock was first placed on the site to raise the property above the 100-foot flood level. The building is wood framed with heavy timbers and is equipped with an extensive sprinkler system inside and outside under the eaves. Security cameras have been installed inside and outside. Earlier this year, Don Roberts said the new building was badly needed as health centre and other workers were housed in trailers, which had long ago outlived their usefulness. In addition to regular health unit staffers, there’ll be space for a visiting dentist and eye specialist. And there will also be office space for the RCMP’s community policing office.

Car crash kills one NEW AIYANSH RCMP and the Terrace West Pacific Regional Traffic Services continued to investigate a fatal motor vehicle collision on Highway 113, 15 km west of New Aiyansh late last week. The accident was reported to police at approximately 1:15 a.m. Oct. 3, said police. Police confirmed the vehicle was travelling west on the highway when the driver lost control and drove into the side of a cliff, then landed in the middle of the roadway. Three females were in the vehicle and one female was trapped inside the vehicle. Witnesses said the vehicle caught fire and the trapped female was unable to be saved, said police. One occupant suffered non life threatening injuries and was taken to Mills Memorial hospital for medical attention. “I can’t speak to who was driving as that is still under investigation,” said Prince George RCMP Const. Lesley Smith Oct. 3, adding that the deceased woman was 20-years-old from New Aiyansh and that the other two occupants of the vehicle were from Terrace and Gitwinksihlkw and were ages 22 and 24. Highway 113 was closed in both directions while a collision analyst reviewed the scene and DriveBC reported at 10:41 a.m. that morning that the highway had been reopened. West Pacific Region Traffic Services along with the collision analyst continued to investigate the incident. Police believe speed and alcohol were contributing factors in this tragic incident. No names will be provided by the RCMP.

Minerals North disburses $38,000 IT WAS called Christmas in October Oct. 2 as the surplus from this year’s Minerals North 2013 mining conference held in Terrace was distributed to various groups. In disbursing cheques worth $38,000, the chair of the conference organizing committee spoke to the success of the April event. “It was the 25th anniversary of Minerals North and this was the most successful conference held in Terrace and for Minerals North itself,” said Rob Dykman, the chair of the Terrace Economic Development Authority and chair of the Minerals North organizing committee. “The volunteer group spent two years and put in countless hours of time.” Close to 1,000 delegates were registered with mining and mining services companies who came from all over the country to participate, said Dykman. “The future of mining looks pretty good with the Northwest Transmission Line being built,” he added. Dykman also praised the contributions of community volunteers who did everything from acting as hosts to putting up and taking down tables. Minerals North is held in a different northern city each year, relying on local volunteers and groups to

members of the Minerals North 2013 organizing committee gathered Oct. 2 to present cheques to various community groups, agencies and educational institutions. The money, $38,000, is the surplus from the event which was held here in April. stage each event. In Terrace, Volunteer Terrace, the Terrace Sportsplex and Northwest Community College were key contributors. Each year, the surplus from Minerals North recognizes the efforts of groups to pro-

mote mining, to recognize the contribution of mining or to recognize the efforts of those who helped out at the conference. Money for scholarships was featured on this year’s distribution list. Recipients of the

surplus include: Centennial Christian School – $1,000 for scholarships in trades or mining related studies. Heritage Park Museum – $2,000 for upgrades to future mining displays. Volunteer Terrace – $2,500 as an hono-

“What we’re really seeing is a strong disconnect between service providers who can really help people and industry people,” she said. “What we really need to do is come together as a regional community to create these relationships.” “We, service providers, can do a better job if we understand what the industry challenges are, for example,” said Zaharchuk. “Industry may not know what we can do.” She acknowledged that some companies may not be ready to hire and cannot do so until

the shape and extent of economic development is more known. But Zaharchuk said efforts undertaken now to prepare for hiring will pay off. “The economy is changing and we need to change with it,” she said. “The more we know, the better we can serve.” Zaharchuk also said agencies here deal with all kinds of people ranging from those who have worked in one industry for years but who now may find themselves out of work because of changing certifications and standards, to people who have specific em-

ployment challenges to people who need someone to plot out a program of training and progress. “These are not normally those involved in mainstream employment searching,” she said. Invitations have gone out to a number of employment training and counselling service providers throughout the region. Zaharchuk said responses are starting to come in. Career consultant and author Gray Poehnell will lead a workshop over the course of the event.

Making connections goal of skills gathering A CONFERENCE to bring agencies that train or prepare people for work closer to the industries that could then hire them is happening this month. The idea is to close a gap that now exists between the two groups, says Crystal Zaharchuk of the Terrace and District Community Services Society which is organizing the Oct. 24 one-day event. There’s a particularly crucial need to build connections as many of the industries eyeing the northwest because of its liquefied natural gas potential are unfamiliar with the area, she said.

rarium for operating expenses Terrace Community Foundation – $2,500 in lieu of speakers gifts. Coast Mountain School District – $3,000 for scholarships in trades or mining related studies. Minerals North Con-

ference Association – $4,000 for unforeseen expenses of future conferences. City of Terrace – $8,000 for the purchase of round tables for future events at the Sportsplex. Northwest Community College – $5,000

for scholarships in trades or mining programs and $10,000 to help with upgrades to culinary arts equipment, for a total of $15,000. Minerals North last year was held in Burns Lake and next year it is being held in Vanderhoof.

SEARCHERS WAIT before it’s their turn to cross the Skeena River.

Where are they? The search for two lost Terrace residents explored every scenario

By JOSH MASSEY THE OFFICIAL search for missing mushroom pickers Ike Murray and Michael Devlin Sabo was the largest in the region in decades, bringing in experts from all over the province to help manage the efforts of a growing group of local volunteers covering the area east of Terrace where the pair was last seen. Once Murray and Sabo were reported missing after not returning to an agreed upon rendezvous the afternoon of Sept. 22, members of Terrace Search and Rescue began looking the next day, assisted by a helicopter. Numbers of searchers, both trained members of Terrace Search and Rescue, family and friends of the missing pair and people in the community grew daily as no signs were found. The early-on search is a hasty one aimed at finding any smoke, signs of a fire or any human activity and hearing sounds of people calling. Searchers also call out, hoping to make voice contact. The search concentrated in the Lorne Creek area along the north side of the Skeena River east of Terrace. That’s where Murray and Sabo and Sabo’s younger brother docked a boat to look for mushrooms Sept. 22. Officials divided the area into a grid pattern on maps, assigning teams to specific areas. By Thursday morning Sept. 26, nearly 40 people gathered in front of the search and rescue office on

Greig Ave. Search and rescue team members from Kitimat and Vanderhoof were also there, gathering people into teams of five or six, checking gear and asking who had first aid training. “Do you know them?” Vanderhoof Search and Rescue team leader Chris Mushumanski asked his group and several people nodded. With more people expected the next day, Dave Jephson from Terrace Search and Rescue sent out an urgent call Thursday. Because the search was held under the umbrella of the provincial Emergency Management BC agency, along with the RCMP, Terrace Search and Rescue was in daily contact with provincial officials. “We’re having difficulty sending them in the field without trained people,” Jephson said in his call to search and rescue teams elsewhere. By Friday, Sept. 27, trained search and rescue team members from Vancouver, Kelowna and Kamloops had flown in, a number that reached eight as the search intensified. An already-planned weekend field exercise by the Canadian Rangers, local volunteer members belonging to the Canadian Armed Forces, in the Kitwanga area was moved closer to the Lorne Creek search area on Friday, Sept. 27, a move that added 25 people to the searcher numbers. Their weekend task was to search higher up, more diffi-

cult terrain to eliminate any possibility Murray and Sabo had somehow made their way to higher ground. On Friday morning, close to 50 people were in front of the search and rescue office, waiting for a morning briefing while RCMP officers and search and rescue officials planned that day’s activities. A provincial fire fighting crew also turned out. With the weather turning, rain gear was the order of the day and packs carried contained food and water. Because the search area was on the north side of the Skeena River, teams first drove to a point 53km east of Terrace along Hwy16, parked alongside the highway and then walked to a marshalling point, waiting to be taken by boat across the river. “We appreciate what you are doing. This is an example of Terrace and the Terrace community,” Jephson said to the group on that Friday morning. If the number of searchers grew Friday, it ballooned Saturday with an estimated 150 people involved, including Canadian Rangers. Jephson emphasized the need to look under rocks and logs, anyplace where an injured person might be found. “We are not looking for somebody who is standing up and waving at us,” he said. “We’re looking for someone who may be injured or trapped.” That day Trans Canada Pipelines, one of the companies which wants to build a natural gas pipeline to the

coast paid for the use of a helicopter. Employees of Focus, a company contracted by Trans Canada to do exploratory work along the planned route, took part as well. People from town brought out food and the Salvation Army’s mobile kitchen was set up. More than 100 people turned out the next day, Sunday, Sept. 29 with search officials again emphasizing the need to look under logs, under boulders – anywhere where an injured person might be curled up. But at the end of that day, search and rescue officials, confident they had scoured every possible place, reluctantly called a halt. Search and Rescue deemed it unlikely that Murray and Sabo would have strayed outside the natural boundaries of the hilltop overlooking the area in which they were picking because it is bordered by the Skeena River and two creeks and the hill was steep, Jephson said. “Could we miss them? Did we miss them? That’s a question we will forever ask ... The desire for us to find them is huge. Did we fail these people by not finding them? Why did we miss them? What did we do wrong? What can we do better?” There are various theories about what may have happened – one team of twenty swept the old railway ghost town of Doreen west of the search area, looking inside old cabins to see if Murray and Sabo had wandered down CN rail tracks.

It’s possible, said Jephson, because it gets dark in the woods around 4 p.m. this time of year, that the two men started walking downhill in the wrong direction. It’s for this reason Jephson said the most likely tragic scenario was that Murray and Sabo were rushing downhill towards Lorne Creek to the east side of the mountain, thinking they were approaching the Skeena, and might have fallen in the treacherous terrain on the edge of the creek. Some of that area, however, will require a team roping down the side to properly access the crevasses. The official search was not without its own dangers. On the last day the owner of one of the search boats had backed is trailer into the swift-flowing waters of the Skeena. While steering his boat onto the trailer, the water started to sweep away the trailer into the river. The owner of the boat barely had time to release the mooring of his boat before the currents completely dragged the truck and trailer underwater. Despite the official search being called off on Sept. 29, Jephson said that the volunteer search continued with 19 people showing up the next day, equipped with survival gear such as GPS and radios provided by Terrace Search and Rescue. Local search and rescue members are planning renewed efforts and this past weekend, a group from Prince Rupert was expected to arrive.

Over to the police THE DISAPPEARANCE of Ike Murray and Michael Devlin Sabo is now officially a police missing persons case. “I’m not going to get into specifics of what we’ve done but we’re definitely looking at all angles and following up with everything,” said Terrace RCMP Constable Angela Rabut last week. The growing use of social media as a communications and comment vehicle has added its own complications in adding to speculation about what may have happened, she added. “When people read things online, somehow [they believe] it’s the truth,” Rabut said. And although the official search may have now ended, people are continuing to look for signs. “We can’t limit people in what they do. It’s not a crime scene at all. We can’t stop people from going in there,” said Rabut of the area in which the pair went missing.

Buy out? PROTESTS this summer and early fall in the Klappan area by Tahltan and others protesting the presence of Fortune Minerals workers gathering information leading to an application for environmental approval to develop a coal mine should not have come as a surprise. Protests have taken place there before. But this time there’s an unstated precedent at play and it has everything to do with the departure of another company from the same area. Nearly a year ago Shell and the province negotiated a trade. The company gave up its drilling rights to explore for Klappan natural gas in return for a $20 million tax credit to use at a facility in northeastern B.C. That the gas Shell had been expecting to extract was resident to the coal seams Fortune wants to mine should not be understated. If the province was willing to negotiate the departure and compensation for one company in the Klappan, could the same take place again? Just perhaps. Fortune has already cited the hundreds of millions of dollars in potential economic benefits its mine could provide and the money already spent on the project, warning that any buy-out would be very expensive. And the province has expressed a willingness to examine the future of the Klappan area with the Tahltan and a report is expected next spring. Both positions could very well be taken as the opening positions for complex and intricate negotiations. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

THROUGH BIFOCALS

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI foot neuropathy report good pain relief from a bar of soap between their sheets. Apparently doctors generally pooh-pooh the notion an ordinary bar of soap can have any curative powers. They chalk up anecdotal evidence of soap’s benefits to some placebo effect, despite many patients reporting soap helps them. Some placebo effect! September 21, the day I received the email, I slipped two bars of wrapped Jergens soap between the sheets near my feet. For the first time in months, maybe years, I slept soundly. Nightly I have continued to sleep soundly except when I’m chasing the

soap like a goalie. The bars tended to slip to one side until they fell to the floor, Thump!, several times a night. By sliding the soaps into a pillowcase positioned under the bottom sheet the soap no longer falls to the floor; the bars stay near my feet. Even if coffee keeps me awake for an hour or two and I read until drowsy, my legs remain comfortable and still and I am able to fall asleep quickly once I close my book. In an effort to explain how soap might work, Dr. Derek H. Page, a retired physicist from Quebec, and Hugh Smailes of Australia offer this hypothesis: Soap is a water-swollen gel, 5 to 15 percent water when purchased, very porous, so water molecules disperse through it. They credit an unknown molecule with suppressing cramps just as a drug is transmitted through your skin by a patch. When the soap’s surface dries out, small molecules can no longer pass through it. Scraping or scoring the bar’s surface revives its beneficial effects. Soap fragrances contain esters and oils; these com-

S TANDARD

pounds are volatile or we couldn’t smell them. And like nitroglycerin which enlarges blood vessels alleviating angina – these compounds may be responsible for the beneficial effects of a plain bar of soap next to or close to the skin of people with restless legs. To those few patients who haven’t benefitted from the soap treatment, Dr. Page and Smailes suggest they persevere, try a different soap with a stronger scent, and scrape its surface to release even more fragrance. You might try searching the internet, or this website www.peoplespharmacy. com/2012/07/22/why-doessoap-soothe-nighttime-legcramps/ to see if there’s a brand others have had good luck with. The fresh, unwrapped bar of soap should then be placed between the sheets, preferably in a location where the soles of your feet can touch it. Scientists may seek to prove or disprove the effectiveness of a bar of soap but restless leg sufferers are already convinced. Claudette Sandecki gets a leg up on a good night’s sleep at her Thornhill home.

Can’t see the forest ... Dear Sir: I feel compelled to alert you to an important error in your promotion of National Forest Week in the Sept. 25th edition of The Terrace Standard. You had an entire section, packed with advertisements from the logging sector, devoted

to a so-called “National Forestry Week” when in fact there is no such thing. As many reputable institutions (such as the Canadian Institute of Forestry, the Canadian Forestry Association, the Canadian Forest Service, and the BC Ministry of Forests,

s a dual citizen, Canadian and Swiss, I have the right to vote in Switzerland’s national referendums. In 2012, there were 12 referendums dealing with issues ranging from animal disease legislation to the application of the state’s gambling revenue earnings. In March of this year, the Swiss voted in referendums concerned with improving day care and family services, land use planning, and giving shareholders greater control over executive pay. In June, they voted on asylum law amendments and a proposal for the people to elect federal cabinet ministers individually. The most recent referendum in September dealt with legislation governing epidemics, regulations governing highway shop opening hours, and a proposal to eliminate compulsory military service. There will be another referendum in November on road taxes. Voter participation typically ranges from 38 per cent to 68 per

Lands and Natural Resource Operations) and their websites have proclaimed, National Forest Week celebrates the many values provided by Canada’s forests. Those values include – but are not limited to! – the production of timber and fibre for commercial use.

Let us not forget that Canada’s forests also provide habitat for wildlife and a wide array of biodiversity. They protect our watersheds to ensure reliable supplies of clean water, and they provide recreational and inspirational opportunities that draw many of us

into the woods every year. Please issue a correction, and I hope this mistake is not repeated. Phil Burton, Associate Professor, Ecosystem Science and Management Program, UNBC-Northwest, Terrace, BC

Dear Sir: We’d like to send out our most sincere appreciation to the community of Terrace during our difficult time. We are so thankful to the many people that reached out to our family over the last week. We appreciate the words of encouragement, the prayers and positive thoughts, the visits, the hugs, and the food. We’d like to thank the Search and Rescue, Swift Water Rescue, the RCMP and the many businesses that donated their services. Thank you to the Ormerods who not only allowed more than 100 people onto their property but fed us and offered warmth at the end of the day. Big, big thanks to all the friends, friends of friends, acquaintances and strangers that spent hours searching and shuttling searchers across the river and continue to do so. Your selflessness warms our hearts and gives us hope. It’s a phenomenal thing to see the community come together as they have. You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves and your community, as we are. We can’t begin to thank everyone enough, please know you’re recognized and appreciated. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as our search continues. The Murray Family, Terrace, BC Ike Murray is one of the two missing mushroom pickers along with Michael Devlin Sabo.

Direct democracy? Bring it on cent. British Columbia’s referendum record pales by comparison. We had five opportunities, subject to inconsistent rules and only one initiated by citizen petition, to vote on issues in 20 years. Referenda are not a threat to responsible government any more than elections are. Elections do not instill wisdom in the minds and compassion in the souls of winners and the judgment of the elected is not necessarily superior to the judgment of the voters. The vibrancy of a democracy arises out of the relationship between citizens and the politicians they elect. A democracy where effective citizen participation is restricted to voting in elections two or three times in a decade differs in significant ways from one in which citizens are empowered to take direct responsibility for decisions of particular concern to them. The HST referendum was the only occasion when British Columbians defined an issue, initiated the process, and where the

g u e s t c o mm e n t

ANDRE CARREL will of the majority prevailed. Experts debated the pros and cons of retaining the HST, but, right or wrong, we made the decision. The responsibility for the outcome is ours, not the politicians’. Nothing is accomplished when political parties and pundits blame each other for the consequences of past decisions. One sure way of rendering democracy’s ideals irrelevant is to

vote against candidate X because, in retrospect, his or her party is deemed to have made a poor decision. Party “A” having made poor (or wise) decisions in the past does not mean that party “B” will make wise (or poor) decisions in the future. When a democratic society is facing a difficult decision elected politicians and citizens need to be engaged in a debate to fully explore and evaluate the alternatives. The foremost consideration in a democracy is not to render correct decisions; it is to have governments accountable to citizens and citizens responsible for their own governance. We know from experience that “If elected I will” can be an empty promise under a system which converts 36 per cent of the popular vote into a parliamentary majority. We know from experience that “representing the people” rings hollow when those we elect take their marching orders from party leaders. The essence of democracy is to give citizens the power to

say NO when they deem their government to be heading in the wrong direction and to say GO when their government is indolent. The Swiss example demonstrates that governments can be accountable and open when the system enables citizens to have the final say. The HST referendum demonstrated that we can take responsibility for decisions that affect our lives. Underway right now is a petition campaign which, if enough registered voters sign, could lead to a referendum that could decriminalize possession of pot by adults. Whether or not I support the idea is irrelevant. My point is that when citizens care about an issue, they should act and assume responsibility for the decision. Pipelines, health care, education, power meters, and the ferry service are just a few of the subjects that citizens could and should be voting on. Andre Carrel is a retired public sector administrator living in Terrace, BC.

Search showed community strength Dear Sir: I am just one of the many people from this community and others who recently took part in the search for the missing local mushroom pickers, Ike Murray and Michael Devlin Sabo, in the Lorne Creek area. While efforts after a full week were frustratingly unsuccessful and inconclusive, my disappointment has been tempered by the assurance that we are a strong, caring community. People need to know about the brave, determined citizens who volunteered countless hours of their time as a part of Terrace’s Search and Rescue team – the leaders who laid out the plans, who skillfully organized the information sessions and supervised all the aspects of a detailed search. Team leaders coordinated small, diverse groups of volunteers using map grids, GPS, compass and precise spacing in order to thoroughly search their as-

signed sections of land. Skilled boat captains worked long hours on the cold, treacherous Skeena River, expertly ferrying teams out and back from search areas on the far banks. People need to know about the volunteers

from all walks of life, young adults to senior citizens, who grabbed a pack, layered up in waterproof gear, joined a team and spent many cold, wet hours in the bush, working as a unit, crawling under and over greasy logs, through the

devil’s club, blowdown and swampy areas, up and down the big hills, meticulously searching for any sign of the missing men. People need to know about all the others who selflessly helped out: the Ormerods, whose

land was used as the operational base, offering hot soup and chili and kind words for returning volunteers; the Salvation Army, with their own food truck; and other contributing service organizations. From all of these peo-

ple, I heard not one complaint. It’s what a good community does in times of need. These are often the last people to want to be recognized or thanked, but I say, thank them anyway. It will make a difference, just like they do. During a time of cri-

sis, there was strength, teamwork, and persistence. In a world which seems at times to be so full of negatives, there were so many positives. We can be very proud of our community. Rolfe McCooey, Terrace, B.C.

Children, youths deserve much more Dear Sir: All children have the right to grow to be responsible, contributing citizens in their own unique way. For some children, such as those with special needs, this may require additional supports and services to help families build capacity and ensure children develop to their true potential. These supports and services are critical, and there is a growing body of evidence demonstrating appropriate investment in such services in the early years indeed results in fewer resources required lat-

er in life. There is no argument; this is a positive return on investment both financially and morally. Unfortunately, our current provincial government has made a decision that places this investment at risk in the name of shortterm financial savings. Two collective agreements were ratified this year that directly impact many agencies that provide these critical supports and services. These agreements have resulted in significant increased costs yet government

“Agencies are being forced to cut professional development budgets, not fill existing vacancies, and shift away from family-centered service delivery models in order to balance their budgets.” has decided to not provide the funding, forcing agencies to find the necessary savings internally. These agencies have already been operating for years with no increase in base contract funding despite a variety of rising operating expenses. There is simply no more room within

their budgets to find funds to offset these increased expenses. Agencies are being forced to cut professional development budgets, not fill existing vacancies, and shift away from family-centered service delivery models in order to balance their budgets without reducing the existing level of

service to children and youths with special needs. These are shortterm solutions that will result in an inhibited ability to deliver services that are evidence based and best practice, negatively impact retention of staff, and make services less accessible for families. There is a real risk of decreased capacity leading to increased wait times and growing wait lists for services. Children will not receive the timely evidence-based intervention they deserve,

affecting their ability to reach their full potential, and ensuring more investment will be necessary on services later in life. Let your MLA know that services for children and youth with special needs are not the place to find further savings to balance the budget. The children and youths with special needs in your community are counting on you. Jason Gordon, MHS, BScPT, Provincial Advocate, BC Association for Child Development and Intervention, Kelowna, B.C.

October 22, 2013 4:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Terrace Sportsplex (Banquet Room) 3320 Kalum Street Terrace, B.C.

Project representatives will be available to answer questions and share information. Light refreshments will be provided.

A Year of Careful Study In June 2012, TransCanada PipeLines announced the Coastal GasLink Project, to safely deliver natural gas from the Groundbirch area, near Dawson Creek, B.C., to the proposed LNG Canada gas liquefaction facility to be developed by Shell Canada Ltd. and its partners near Kitimat, B.C. We began with a “conceptual corridor” based on aerial inspection, available maps and renderings. We then met with First Nations, landowners, local government officials and northern B.C. residents to find opportunities to improve our plan and avoid social and environmental areas of concern. We made significant adjustments to the corridor based on this input and narrowed our focus to a two-kilometre-wide “study corridor.”

During 2013, we have sent hundreds of scientists, engineers and technicians into the field to travel along the corridor, test rocks and soils, study rivers and streams, and gather information about plant and animal life. First Nations community members have shared traditional ecological knowledge through many of our field studies. Using the information we have gathered, we are developing a proposed pipeline route. Our route proposal will be part of our application to the BC Environmental Assessment Office, and our application to the BC Oil and Gas Commission. We are grateful to the communities of northern B.C. for their constructive contributions to this process.

If you are unable to attend, but would like more information you can contact us by email (coastalgaslink@transcanada.com) or by phone at 1.855.633.2011 (toll-free). TransCanada is Canada’s largest builder and operator of natural gas pipelines. We have been in business in B.C. for 50 years. We are proud of our track record of working with communities and operating safely.

Trail extension work underway by JOSH MASSEY JOGGERS, bikers, and anyone who likes to go for a nice stroll along a scenic stretch of trail will have cause to rejoice, as construction of the much-anticipated extension to the Grand Trunk Pathway along Hwy16 is starting this week. The project will add 800 metres stretching west of the trail’s current terminus at the intersection of Hwy16 and Hwy113 to a point just shy of the Frank St. intersection of Hwy16, making the new total length of the trail 3 kilometres. “It’s a great project because the Grand Trunk trail gets so much use already, so it will be good for the community to be able to enjoy the extended trail,” said Chris Cordts, the city’s internal design engineer. The new multi-use paved path will include extensive landscaping with trees planted and benches installed, as well as a fence to sepa-

rate the trail from the CN right-of-way. Bear Creek Contracting was the only company to bid on the project. Its original bid came in at just over $232,000, so the city had to slightly modify the original landscaping plan to reduce costs. The renegotiated price is $211,768.37, with a few trees and benches taken out of the design plan to bring the original price down. Director of public works Rob Schibli said that, with other costs such as paving included, the project will fall within the original budget of $285,000 to $300,000. A provincial grant is covering the majority of the cost with CN and BC Hydro combining to provide $30,000 between them. “Schedule and accomplishment for this year is very dependent on weather,” said Schibli. “Hopefully the trail will be paved by November 15th.

delayed because the provincial government needed to get a geotechnical study completed on how the path will affect Hwy16. The extension will fall 30 metres shy of

the original planned end point at Frank St. because the highway right-of-way gets too narrow. A plan to negotiate with CN to put the final stretch of trail through the rail compa-

ny’s right-of-way hasn’t worked out so far, according to city director of development services David Block. Block said that once new lights are put in at the Frank St. crossing

next spring, the city might be able to then extend the path right to the crossing. And, in the future, Block said, the city will look at extending the trail all the way to the Kalum River. This was considered previously, however a ditch that follows the highway between Frank St. and the bridge is filled with water from Howe Creek and is considered fish habitat by the federal fisheries officials. The other option would be to continue the trail along the north side of Hwy16, which would also require the permission of businesses that front that stretch of highway. Block said it would be preferable to continue the trail on the existing south side, and that staff in the past suggested a larger project that would divert the water from Howe Creek through a culvert at Brawn Ave., and dig a man-made creek all the way to the Skeena through south Terrace.

■ Parking THE NEED to provide parking closer to the longhouse at Northwest Community College is resulting in a fairly significant road and parking lot project at the college. The project is cutting into a hillside overlooking the college’s main athletics field at the southern end of its campus. The longhouse has become a popular meeting place for groups but lack of parking close to the building has been a problem.

Resident in survey limbo AN AGAR AVE. resident has been unable to convince city council to help her find her property stakes in a bid to ease a conflict with a neighbour over a fence. Judith Haydock is convinced her neighbour’s fence is on her property but can’t tell for sure because she can’t find her property line. And because she pays taxes, Haydock told council Sept. 23 the city should help out. “I was told at city hall to go down to city works to make some discoveries... and their only response was to look at TerraMaps,” said Haydock of a mapping program available on the city’s website. According to Haydock, she consulted two TerraMaps that didn’t seem to match, and concluded that TerraMaps “isn’t a good system for dealing with neighbourly disputes.” City director of development services David Block said that sometimes properties that have been staked a long time ago have had the survey markers removed or covered and that the city will lend out metal detectors to help home owners find them. Councillor Stacey Tyers said she thought there might be a rule that ensures property owners who wanted to build a fence must have a professional survey conducted first. Hayock called this a “gap in policy” and councillor Bruce Bidgood wanted staff to look into the feasibility of making a regulation that would allow the city to fund surveys. But Haydock’s estimate of a survey cost of between $1,500 and $2,000 was regarded by city council as being out of its reach.

Homeowner tries to hold a thief

Wednesday, October 9, 2013 Terrace Standard

POLICE SAY a man who caught another man stealing tools from the back of his truck at his Loen Ave. residence was subsequently assaulted. The incident took place over the period of Sept. 30-Oct. 2. “The man attempted to hold the thief till police arrived. The thief threatened and struck the man with a knife then fled,” indicated the police report. Police then located a man hiding in an RV on Sparks St. Two knives, a loaded needle, and marijuana were seized from this person. He was held for court.

Bridge replaces damaged one

WORK IS underway to replace a bridge on the highway into Stewart heavily damaged during heavy rains and subsequent flooding in the fall of 2011. The new Bitter Creek bridge will replace a temporary one put in place after the old bridge was all but put out of commission in early September 2011 after heavy rains dramatically raised creek and river levels in the area. Sections of Hwy37A into Stewart were washed away or flooded out and there was damage to bridges and roads within the community itself. The new Bitter Creek Bridge is being constructed by Belvedere Place Contracting Ltd. and is on schedule to be completed this fall. “The new structure will be constructed to current standards and will have the ability to sustain a 1-in-200 year flood event,” states the transportation ministry.

Belvedere had the winning bid with a submission to construct the new bridge, the approaches and related roadwork. There was also sealcoating work done between the Bitter Creek Bridge and Stewart. That contract, part of a routine maintenance program, was worth $700,000 and went to White Bear Contracting. The rain and subsequent flooding in Sept. 2011 cut off Stewart from the rest of the province and also affected travel north of the Meziadin Junction and in the Nass Valley. In addition to residents, tourists were stranded in Stewart for several days. A group of tourists was eventually flown out. Until a temporary bridge was installed at Bitter Creek, equipment and supplies were brought in by barge to Stewart.

And not make way for a pipeline. 70% of the Northern Gateway Pipeline route will use previously disturbed land, like old forestry roads, cut blocks and other disturbances.

A wellhead belonging to Shell is lifted out of the ground at one of three drilling locations the company had in the Klappan. The company has removed three wellheads, ending its activity in the area for good.

Shell pulls last of its wellheads from Klappan SHELL has finished dismantling its wellheads in the Klappan and erasing all signs the company had ever drilled in the area for coalbed methane natural gas. One wellhead had already been taken out in 2008 and two others were removed at the end of September. “We removed the wellheads and fencing from each of our Hobbit and Ridge locations,” said Shell official Larry Lalonde of the work that’s now finished. A specialized crew was brought in to dig down about one-and-a-half metres, cut off the wellhead and plug the well with concrete. “There was also a plate welded on so the gas can’t come up the well at all,” said Lalonde. Dirt was then placed on top, grass seed and other seed planted, the area contoured and any fencing removed. Also gone is a Shell sign that was located at the end of an airstrip in the area, said Lalonde. The wellhead removal work followed on a trade negotiated between Shell and the provincial government

late last year. In return for surrendering rights in the Klappan, the company received a $20 million tax credit to be applied to an industrial water recycling facility it owns in northeastern B.C. Shell at one time had an active program in the Klappan in hopes of finding commercially-viable quantities of natural gas. Since 2004 the company spent $32.5 million on its Klappan project, said Lalonde. But like Fortune Minerals, which again faced protests this year over its own plans to mine coal in the Klappan, Shell ran into opposition from the Tahltan and others worried over the effect of development on water supplies. Protests eventually lead to a temporary moratorium on drilling by Shell in 2008. In evaluating the situation, Lalonde said the Klappan project was no longer a Shell priority. “Shell has a robust portfolio of exploration and production opportunities in North America,” said Lalonde.

Man found deceased A MAN who was missing for 14 days after leaving his Park Ave. home was found dead late last week. Daniel Driediger, 50, was found by Delta Creek, about 20 km west of Terrace late in the afternoon of Oct. 4. Coroner Art Erasmus confirmed that Driediger’s body was found but couldn’t give out any more details about the investigation. Driediger was last seen Sept. 20 leaving his Park Ave. residence on foot, said police Sept. 26.

Terrace Search and Rescue searched an area on Thornhill Mountain Sept. 27 with no sign of the missing man, said police. On Oct. 3, Daniel’s wife, Fern, went out with family and friends to look for him out by the Kalum River and nearby mountains but found nothing. The family had planned to go out Oct. 5 and Oct. 6 to look for Driediger and had asked for volunteers to assist them.

City on real estate list of hot locations By ANNA KILLEN A recent report has ranked Terrace as one of Canada’s top 100 locations for real estate investment – a position that may not come as a surprise for homeowners who have been watching their equity climb. The report, compiled by Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine with support from the Verico Network of Mortgage Brokers and Re/Max of Western Canada lists the Top 100 Neighbourhoods for investment in Canada, what they call the “list of the top micro markets set to lead the country in growth.” In BC, Terrace ranks as one of the top eight locations. The average price of a home in Terrace for 2012 was $208,180. In 2013, that number jumped to $240,580, an increase of 15.56 per cent. The average rent, according to the report, is $850. For Re/Max realtor John Evans, who has been selling real estate in Terrace for 27 years, the distinction makes sense with what he’s seen on the ground. “It’s been happening for a couple of years now, we’ve been seeing steady increases in our average price. Doing a little bit better than one per cent per month, we’re running about 12-15 per cent per year,” he said. It’s a simple matter of supply and demand. “Demand is much greater – as we have more jobs and opportunities, we have more people to Terrace needing houses,” he said, noting that even a slight increase in the housing supply lately isn’t enough to keep up with

the demand. “When you take a look at these billion dollar projects that are in the area, and we’ve been a very soft market basically for the previous 10 years, it’s not a real big surprise that we would be on that list and be one of the communities in Canada showing the most investment growth in the next few years.” It’s a positive shift in a market that had been at a lull for years, he said. “People homeowners, like to see equity in their homes, and people that own homes or are just buying homes, they’re going to see equity and growth in their investment in their home,” he said. “For a number of years in Terrace it was the opposite, your home was actually losing value, and it’s nice as a homeowner to have that continued growth in their equity.” And he doesn’t see the trend stopping. “When we’re trying to predict what the market’s doing we have to take a look at what has happened in recent months and recent years, and for the past two years the market has continued to improve,” he said. “So if that’s the trend today, and that trend continues, prices are going to continue to rise.” If the 12-15 per cent increase per year market trend continues, that means waiting two years to enter the housing market could mean looking at a price point of 30 per cent or more, he said. “It’s a very comfortable time to buy when the market is on the rise, it’s just like the stock market – people are always eager to jump into the stock market when it’s rising, not when it’s falling,” he said.

Enbridge hires local official THE COMPANY that wants to build the Northern Gateway crude oil pipeline from Alberta to a marine terminal at Kitimat has hired away the District of New Hazelton administrator. Donny van Dyk is Enbridge’s manager of coastal stakeholder relations and is based in Kitimat. He’s worked for the District of New Hazelton for four years, the first year as deputy administrator before taking on the administrator’s position. “The key for myself and for Northern Gateway is to take the time to share information, but also to listen to ideas and concerns from each community we visit to work to find solutions. I look forward to learning those concerns and addressing them,” he said. Van Dyk has been active politically within the BC Liberal party and its youth wing.

harAld kossler, part owner of River Wild Salmon, inside the Thornhill location of the business. Lack of fish this year has caused the business to close.

A LOCAL smoked salmon business has shut down this year but is hoping to be able to reopen next year. River Wild Salmon, which opened its doors at a Thornhill location in 2011, sold smoked wild sockeye caught from the Skeena River by fisheries that follow ethical and sustainable standards. It shut down its operations this summer after being unable to purchase any fish at all, says president Harald Kossler. “Well there was no commercial fishery this year at all because the returns were very

[poor]. And with our standards for sustainability and ethical, we were not able to purchase any fish at all. So we were forced to close,” said Kossler. “I only can hope that this was an exceptional year and it will be better fishing for the future.” It’s still too soon to say that if the number of returning fish warrants a commercial fishery next year and whether River Wild will then be able to re-open, he added. “This is not clear at this point,” said Kossler. “Time will tell. Please don’t forget we are very limited with fish sourcing due to our sustain-

Road contractor readies for winter THE AREA’S road maintenance contractor is adding a regional district government critical of its winter performance to the list of organizations it meets with prior to each winter. The move by Nechako Northcoast Construction follows statements by the Skeena Queen Charlotte Regional District that there’s a difference between how Hwy16 is maintained from Terrace to Prince Rupert by O’Brien Road and Bridge Maintenance, which is responsible for the western half of the distance, and by Nechako which is responsible for the eastern half of the Terrace to Prince Rupert route. Skeena Queen Charlotte directors made their views known about their opinion of Nechkao in a meeting with provincial highways officials. Nechako Northcoast official Dan Beaulac said he’s puzzled by the regional district position because it has never contacted his company. “We really don’t know what their ques-

“Our operators, when they are out there in the worst of conditions, come back and tell us horror stories of what drivers do. People just don’t seem to get it.” tions are but we’ll make a concerted effort to find out,” he said. Winter maintenance issues are raised each fall when the company meetings with local governments, trucking companies, emergency service providers and other key road users, Beaulac said. He did add that Hwy16 leading west from Terrace toward Prince Rupert can be subject to some of the most challenging winter weather conditions in the province. “You have snow belts there and snow squalls that can move in within minutes. There’s tremendous squall activity there,” Beaulac said. Contractor performance is graded each summer and each winter with bonus or residual payment amounts hinging on the results. Companies are

eligible to receive a maximum 2 per cent of the annual value of their contract each year based on performance. For the winter period from Oct. 2011 to March 2012, Nechako Northcoast did not qualify for any payment, the only contractor in the province not to receive a payment during that period. “It was the worst winter in 50 years,” said Beaulac of the winter period from Oct. 2011 to the spring of 2012. He did add that winter driving safety also rests with drivers equipping their vehicles with the appropriate tires and, most importantly, driving to conditions. “Our operators, when they are out there in the worst of conditions, come back and tell us horror stories of what drivers do,” said Beaulac. “People just don’t seem to get it.”

He called for more driver awareness and more enforcement during the winter season. In the meantime, another regional district is pressing the provincial government to increase road maintenance contract standards on Hwy16 in general. The Kitimat-Stikine regional district introduced two motions for debate at the Union of BC Municipalities convention last month in Vancouver. One wanted improved standards written into any new road maintenance contracts and the other calls for Hwy16 to be reclassified. Hwy16 is now considered a Class B highway with the exception of its path through Smithers and Terrace where it is a Class A route and subject to more winter maintenance. Hwy37 South from Terrace to Kitimat was reclassified from a Class B to Class A route several years ago following a concerted lobbying effort by Kitimat council and others. “Northern BC resi-

dents consistently declare road maintenance fails to meet travellers’ requirements and that standards have deteriorated since privatization of road maintenance,” reads a portion of the Kitimat-Stikine motion.

In the case of Nechako Northcoast, any new contract standards, if approved, would have to wait until its current agreement with the provincial government finishes. And that won’t happen for years

because the company’s current contract with the province won’t conclude until 2019. Billabong Road and Bridge Maintenance, also a road maintenance company, is an affiliate of Nechako Northcoast. REM LEE Theatre Terrace

The Coast Mountains School District has delayed a plan to charge a $20 a month fee for riders attending schools outside of their neighbourhood.

District delays student bus fee By ANNA KILLEN FOLLOWING pressure from parents, the Coast Mountains School District has delayed a plan to charge a $20 a month bus fee. The fee would apply to students attending a school that isn’t within their neighbourhood and French immersion school Ecole Mountainview which is considered a school of choice. Parents received notice of the fee, which would have generated an estimated $28,000 per year, in a letter sent home on the first day of school this year, Sept. 3. “The school district now recognizes that parents/guardians were not provided with sufficient notice to prepare for this added cost and/or be given the opportunity to seek alternative options,” reads the recommended action from the district business committee, which was presented to and passed by school trustees at last month’s school board meeting, Sept. 25. “(It is recommended) that the board delay the implementation of the bus fee for service to out-ofcatchment riders to September 2014,” reads the motion. Approximately 140 riders districtwide were affected by the notice. Nearly $2.2 million dollars this year is marked for student transportation costs, and that figure is anticipated to continue to rise in the future with the increase in fuel costs. The decision to implement the fee was made during last year’s budget committee meetings, school trustees explained last night. “We did discuss it (at the budget committee meetings),” said Kitimat trustee Linda Campbell. “However, we implemented it with not as much

opportunity for parents to know what’s going on, and I think that’s why we called it back. We thought we could give them more time over this next year to plan so that they know that this will be happening, it’s just been moved back to September 2014.” School board chair Art Erasmus added that, because of bureaucratic timing, parents who might have wanted to transfer their children to schools in their neighbourhood because of the fee would not necessarily been able to do so. “With 20/20 hindsight, the latest dates for kids to transfer schools comes long before the budget is approved,” he said. Notice of the new fee was met with criticism, with some parents of Ecole Mountainview students arguing that school – the only French immersion school in Terrace – should have a wider catchment area and not be included in the fee plan, and others arguing that the district did not give parents enough notice to ready for the fee. Ecole Mountainview is designated a “school of choice” in the district, meaning it was subject to the new fee. Provincial school boards are under increased pressure to find ways to pay for bussing, with some districts across the province implementing a “total fee for service” – meaning that if a student rides the bus, the family is expected to pay for the bus, no matter what neighbourhood the rider’s school is in. Speaking earlier this month, school superintendent Nancy Wells said that this district “did not want to go there,” and came up with its own plan as one alternative to help pay for a portion of the district’s rising transportation costs.

Friends host fundraiser dance

Around Town

A LOCAL woman got the ball rolling to help a friend who recently was diagnosed with cancer and many more are getting on the bandwagon too. Donna Alton thought a benefit dance would be a good idea to raise money for her longtime friend Kim Kaye, who is battling cancer. “I just came up with the idea and asked a couple of people and away it went,” said Alton, who has been close friends with Kaye for almost 30 years. “Everyone’s asking ‘what can I do’ ‘how can I help?’” That includes friends from out of town calling and wanting to donate, she added. Money raised will go to help the family with medical costs, said Alton. Kaye spent almost two months in Vancouver and Kamloops for tests and radiation

A Trail of Two Telegraphs writer Jane Stevenson will read from her second local historical book, A Trail of Two Telegraphs, and Other Historic Tales of the Bulkley Valley and Beyond, here next weekend. The book has several Terrace stories in it: the Skeena sternwheelers, the armoured rain, the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and more. Her first book, The Railroader’s Wife: Letters from the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, received an honourable mention for the 2010 Lieutenant Governor’s Medal for Historical Writing. A Trail of Two Telegraphs is a collection of historic tales portraying the strong pioneering spirit of B.C.’s north. Stevenson writes of Perry Collins’s dream, in 1864, of connecting North America to Europe by telegraph; introduces us to Captain Charles East, whose mission it was to recover Japanese fire balloons in Northern B.C. during the Second World War; and Charles Hoetzky, who journeyed by foot and dog sled from Fort Edmonton to Fort Simpson in 1872 and more. For more details on Stevenson’s reading, see City Scene on page 29.

treatment and now is back here taking chemotherapy, but there are still costs said Alton. The dance will feature local musicians, a silent auction and dessert auction. Lots of desserts have been donated already but items or cash for the silent auction are still needed. Organizers are still looking for volunteers too. And another friend Billie Kryzanowski will get her head shaved if she reaches her goal of raising $1,500 for Kaye. Her first goal of $1,000 was surpassed so the goal was raised, and may be raised again if needed. An account has been set up for Kaye at the Toronto Dominion bank here. For more details on the Benefit Dance for Kim Kaye, see Fundraiser under City Scene on page 29.

■■ Pie preparation Mountainview Christian Academy spent Sept. 28 baking apple pies for its annual pie drive. The school was aiming to bake 400 pies, homemade with apples from Kelowna and ingredients purchased with the support of Safeway, Save On Foods and Walmart, and other community members. “We just hope and pray everyone has a wonderful family visit around these aromatic apple pies, made with love,” said Mountainview’s Tamara Ewald. Here’s Michaela Matthews, 10, peeling apples which are then cut, seasoned, and put into waiting pie crusts.

Dispelling myths about hospice In Recognition of World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, Oct. 12, the Worldwide Palliative Care Alliance and its partners are focusing on “dispelling the myths,” and encouraging people to promote the facts about hospice and palliative care. Also, advocates, patients and caregivers want to improve access to palliative care for people with life-limiting conditions by integrating palliative care into existing services. To ensure all those with life-limiting conditions are cared for with dignity and according to their wishes, Terrace Hospice Society is asking for integrated hospice and palliative care health services. A few myths and the facts about hospice and palliative care are: Myth – Having hospice and palliative care means you will die soon. Fact – Hospice and palliative care is not just for the end of life. It is a holistic approach that includes caregiv-

er support, spiritual care, bereavement and much more during any stage of disease process. Myth – Hospice and palliative care is just for people with cancer. Fact – All those who are diagnosed with a chronic life-limiting illness including advanced diabetes, heart or organ failure and/or dementias can benefit from hospice and palliative care. A Healing Touch Certificate Program Level 1 is being offered by Healing Touch International in partnership with regional hospices in the northwest at Kitimat General Hospital, October 26/27. People from Terrace who are interested are invited to attend too. Benefits of Healing Touch can include reducing stress, calming anxiety, strengthening the immune system, decreasing pain, enhancing healing, supporting cancer and non-cancer care plans, all while creating a sense of well-being.

Uplands Elementary Grade 5 and 6 students from teacher Heidi Siebring’s class gave their time to the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup and shared their thoughts about their field trip. Here’s a few of their writeups. Did you know that half of the garbage you throw on the ground goes into the lakes and oceans? Hi my name is Conner and I am in Ms. Siebring’s class (at Uplands Elementary School) and I’ll be telling you about the shoreline cleanup. The shoreline cleanup is a nation-wide event where you go to the lake and pick up any garbage you can find and I bet you’re wondering “Why would you do this, it sounds boring.” It’s for wildlife; like if a fish or any animal picked up a piece of garbage and ate it, it could die! And that’s one of the many reasons we clean up the river. – Conner Hawkins, Grade 6 On Sept. 25th, our class did the shoreline cleanup. We are doing the shoreline cleanup because we want the Skeena to have fish and no garbage. Our class wants to clean up

any garbage in sight for the fish. Last year, we found a washer and dryer, mattress and much more. This year, we found a fan, fishing nets, pop cans and more. This should be the last year we clean up. Now we should not clean up for you, YOU should clean up for YOU! If you can’t clean up your mess, don’t make one. – Bryce Neid, Grade 6 At the shoreline cleanup, me and my group went down near the Copper River to clean up. We found lots of dead fish, cigarette butts, bottle caps and cans. We also found an oven but that wasn’t by the shoreline. We’re trying to stop polluting but that’s never going to happen if people keep doing stuff like this. The whole point of the shoreline cleanup is to try and stop polluting. Nobody wants every body of water to be filled with garbage. The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is a great event to take part in. – Morgan Smith, Grade 5

COMMUNITY

Terrace Standard Wednesday, October 9, 2013

as the headline in a special “Progress!” report of the Omenica Herald 40 years ago. “News that could have tremendous impact on the economy of Terrace and district has got this northern B.C. community hopping like a Mexican jumping bean.” The news was not only the government taking over the pulp mill in Rupert, this keeping our logging industry alive, but also high hopes for the port, increased railway use, and mining. Does this sound familiar? “Prince Rupert is 500 miles closer to the Orient than Vancouver and the Pacific Rim countries constitute major markets of the future for Canadian exports.” How about this: “This part of northern B.C. is also excited by a report dealing with the massive development potential of mineral properties in the Dease Lake, Telegraph Creek, Coast Mountains, Babine Lake, Houston, Galore Creek and other areas of the north.” Transportation was key: “Terrace is at the cross-roads of the recently upgraded Yellowhead Highway 16 from Edmonton to Prince Rupert, Highway 25 to Kitimat, and the newly constructed road to Stewart.” The mining report urged BC Rail to quickly build a spur line to Dease Lake. (You can still see the preliminary grading and clearing of that urgently-needed rail line.) And never mind Westjet, we had jet service back in 1973! “Terrace has a modern, well-equipped airport from which CP Air operates two daily jet flights to Vancouver. The Airport is the base for Trans-Provincial Airlines and Okanagan Helicopters which service the mining and resource areas of the region. Regularly scheduled freight and passenger flights plus charter service are available by float, land, or ski-equipped aircraft.” Oh, well, we still have the land service,

Economic outlook bright for Terrace no floats or skis out of YXT anymore. Terrace boasted a “modern, up-todate” hospital built in 1961 and expanded in 1968, a new arena and a new curling rink. We had two sawmills, two cedar pole companies, seven heavy equipment outlets, six car dealerships, two shopping centres, five banks and a credit union, four chain supermarkets, two department stores and four drug stores. Let’s take a stroll downtown and see what’s happening in shopping and hospitality. To orient ourselves, we’ll start with Shan Yan Restaurant, still in the same location. Their ad reads, “Specializing in Chinese and Canadian Foods – Fast Take Out Service “ “Where The Customer is King.” Across the street is the Co-op, their full page ad headlined “Growing with Terrace.” Established in 1945, “your Co-op has seen and been involved in many changes, including expansions in 1954, 1957, 1964, and 1968.”

Also on Greig is Northern Handicrafts at 4624 Greig (now Northwest Counselling’s location). Near the corner of Greig and Kalum, the first Royal Bank was located. Waxing nostalgic, their ad reads: “In 1945 the Royal Bank of Canada opened its doors for business in the building which is presently occupied by H. Lehmann Jewelers at 3208 Kalum Street. From there the bank moved, in July 1947, to 4545 Lakelse Avenue, which is presently occupied by the Unemployment Insurance Commission. Again in January 1969 the Bank opened new premises at its present location at 4640 Lakelse Avenue.” At the present Shopper’s Drug Mart location, we have Woolworth’s. Their ad reads: “Woolworth’s… because you can’t fool a woman.” Hmm, I wonder if that was considered news in 1973. Continuing east on Lakelse, where Elizabeth Fashions is, we have A.J. “Bud” McColl’s Real Estate Service. And at the present-day Totem Furniture, is the building presented with an award for “contributing most to the beauty and improvement of the community,” built by Western Home Furnishings owners Larry and Flora Rugg. And TWO mens wear shops: Don’s (Northwestern Specialty Foods) and Miller’s l (REMAX). Don’s half-page ad boasted the latest in fashion: GWG, Christian Dior, Lee jeans: “Use your convenient CHARGEX card.” We had the Blue Ribbon Bakery (Marks Work Warehouse), Omenica Builders Supply (Creative Zone), Beautle Masonry (Dediluke Surveyors), and we end our tour at Cedarland Tire (Cedarland Tire). You win some, you lose some in our boom and bust economy. “Only 15 miles south towards Kitimat is a Hotsprings Resort, with two pools for the hotel guests and a large public pool.” We don’t shout for “Progress!” – these days we yearn for sustainable growth.

Province pondering increasing speeds By JEFF NAGEL TRANSPORTATION MINISTER Todd Stone wants B.C. residents to weigh in on a potential increase in highway speed limits now under consideration. Stone announced the formal review of speed limits last week in his home riding of Kamloops although he had previously indicated it was coming and that technical work is already underway. The Coquihalla Highway already has a speed limit of 110 kilometres per hour but traffic there does an average speed of 118, while drivers routinely exceed the posted limit of 90 or 100 on many other provincial highways. “There’s no question the Coquihalla is a prime candidate for an adjustment in the speed limit,” Stone said, also listing sections of Highway 1 in the Lower Mainland and around Kamloops as well as the Cariboo Connector towards Prince George. It’s been a decade since B.C. last reviewed speed limits. Stone said any increases would involve mainly rural provincial highways between communities, not highways in urban areas of the Lower Mainland, although which specific corridors to adjust will be subject to public input. He said a higher speed limit in some stretches of highway has been made possible by billions of dollars in major road upgrades since the last review in 2003, including 180 additional kilometres of four- or six-lane highway.

He also said vehicles are “much safer today than 10 years ago” as a result of traction stability control, anti-lock brakes and other improvements. Stone cited a 28 per cent drop in injurycausing collisions since 2003. And he said research increasingly suggests the greatest danger isn’t necessarily speeding itself, but driving at a much different speed than most other drivers. A minority of 15 per cent of drivers who don’t keep up with the flow or who speed excessively are at greater risk of a crash than the other 85 per cent of drivers who may be going somewhat over the posted speed limit, he said. Stone stressed decreases in the speed limit are also possible. “This review is not about increasing speed limits, it’s about making sure we have the right speed limits.” And he said there will be “no Autobahn” in B.C. where speed limits are lifted altogether. “I am not interested in making any changes that are going to compromise the safety of motorists.” He said one option could be variable speed limits that are higher in the day and lower at night. The review will pull in fresh research from around the world, and closely consider factors unique to B.C., like its geography and high mountain passes. The risk of crashes with wildlife will also be a key consideration. Bright signs that warn of wildlife at night – potentially activated by sensors that detect animals near the highway – are among various options the ministry will consider to counter that risk.

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

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. Jimmy Andreff and the longshore workers of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union’s Local 505 are part of the picture. Get the facts today at www.rupertport.com/safety.

Death of Terrace man ruled accidental A MAN who died after being run over last year has had his death ruled accidental. The BC Coroners Service coroner’s report on the death of Marcel Jason Fowler, also known as Randy, 31, said he bled to death when the left ventricle of his heart ruptured after he was hit by a van while laying on a road in Thornhill in June 2012. The report also said his level of alcohol intoxication, found to be 0.35 per cent indicating a heavy level of alcohol intoxication, was a contributing factor in his death. Fowler was found dead on Haaland Road in Thornhill when police were called at about 2 a.m. June 12, 2012, said the coroner’s report. The driver of an eastbound 2001 Chevrolet Venture van that hit Fowler told police he had seen a dark object near the middle of the road but did not realize it was a person until it was too late to avoid running over him, said the report. Terrace RCMP ruled out any foul play, continued the report. The RCMP Collision Reconstructionist’s report said the part of Haaland Road where the accident happened

was a two lane paved road with gravel shoulders with a centre line that was a dashed yellow line for eastbound traffic and a solid yellow centre line for westbound traffic and the

tinued the report. The conclusion by the collision reconstructionist was that there wasn’t enough evidence to determine what speed the van was going before or after the

incident, continued the coroner’s report. It was noted that the damage to the van was on the bottom of the front left side bumper and along the left underbody and there

was no damage above the front bumper, said the report. Fowler was wearing dark clothing when found and had a broken glass alcohol container in his left coat sleeve, said the coro-

ner’s report. An initial police report on the accident indicated it happened in front of the Costa Lessa Motel in Thornhill. That report was subsequently corrected.

A deal to make you jump for joy.

Mischief arrest TERRACE RCMP said a woman was arrested for mischief after receiving a report of damage being done to a house. The incident took place over the Sept. 27-30 weekend when police were called to a Pine Ave. residence where a woman was ripping siding off of a house and a licence plate off of a vehicle. The woman entered a residence where people attempted to restrain her until police arrived. She escaped but police then located a 42-year-old woman in her own residence and arrested her for mischief. She was intoxicated and acting irrationally, said police. People with information on crime can report anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

posted speed limit was 50 km/hr. When the accident occurred, it was complete darkness with no ambient lighting, the temperature was 12 C and it was raining, con-

Province pays for area airshed study

The provincial government is kicking in $650,000 for a scientific study to figure out how the area's air shed will handle emissions from liquefied natural gas plants and other proposed developments. Money for the Kitimat Airshed Impact Assessment, provided by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Natural Gas Development, was announced Oct. 3. Environment Minister Mary Polak said the studies will help guide the government in setting regulations for companies wanting to

develop in the area. The area being studied is approximately 35 kilometres wide, beginning at the Hartley Bay area and stretching to 30 kilometres north of Terrace, with work beginning Oct. 7 and lasting 10 days. "What is really important for us to do," said Polak, "is to make sure we're looking at not just each individual project, but understanding how they will fit into the puzzle with respect to the total emissions from the project when they're all built out, potentially." The air shed study will help guide how the proposed projects are designed and built, "so they [companies] would understand the technical requirements needed for their facilities, and we use that information to guide us as to what requirements we give them," she said, during a trip to Kitimat Oct. 2. The project will also look at emissions from the existing Rio Tinto Alcan smelter, the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway export facility, the gas turbine powered electricity generation facilities, in addition to three proposed LNG export op-

And it would also have to take into consideration local projects such as the Terrace Energy Centre proposed by Veresen Inc, a large electrical generation facility run on natural gas that would be constructed on the Skeena Industrial Park lands near the airport. The study is said to focus on sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide emissions from the facilities. According to Environment Canada, sulphur dioxide (SO2) is a colourless gas that is also the main cause of acid rain, which can dam-

The study will assess the impact of emissions, including their potential effects on water and soil as well as on vegetation and human health from direct exposure. A request for proposals to conduct the study will be issued, and Polak said that she expects the work on the study to conclude in March 2014. The ministry has also hired contractors who will

Skaters back on the ice THE TERRACE Skating Club is back in full swing, following a busy late-Summer session that got the club off on the right foot. It was an early start for the club this year, with summer skating school in August providing a major jump start for the skaters who saw plenty of dedicated ice and lesson time. In September, the club offered Pre-Power – an introduction to power skating for hockey and ringette players to improve their basic skating skills – and the Pre-Junior program,

which bridges Can Skate and figure skating, got up and running. And there are some new – and familiar – faces on the coaching side this year. “(We’re) proud to introduce our new coaches, Jorden Hendry and Shannon Benmore,” said Elaine Sanchez of the Terrace Skating Club. “Both ladies are welcomed additions to the coaching team.” Hendry has been a member of the club since she was five-yearsold and is still actively skating

as well as starting her coaching career. Benmore began skating in Ontario, where she is originally from, and has been in Terrace for more than 10 years as a school teacher. She wanted to get back into the sport and became certified recently to coach. “We are also happy to have one of our former competitive skaters Jacqueline Lenuik who is still actively skating as our off-ice instructor for our figure skaters. Her sport specific knowledge is

a huge asset to the athletes,” she said. The first club-sponsored event was last week on Oct. 3. Come Skate With Us saw skaters of all levels take to the ice with coaches to give the sport of figure skating a try. The club’s first test day is in November, and skaters are already thinking about the annual Kla How Ya competition in Kitimat that this year is happening over the final weekend in November.

Score Board Cal comes close THE CALEDONIA Kermodes Jr. Girls Volleyball team were points away from making the finals in the A division at the Kodiak Classic in Prince George Sept. 28 and 29. The official result of fifth place came following three wins and three “very close losses,” said coach Adri MacKay. Each loss was in the third set – and with a 14-16 score, including the quarter final game against Prince George Secondary School. “So ever so close to all teams that placed ahead of us,” said MacKay. “Overall a very successful tournament with many highlights – the girls played very well.”

Change of plans THE CALEDONIA Kermodes Sr. Boys Volleyball team had a close call of their own two weekends ago, when, en route to Houston for their first tournament, the team van collided with a moose near Cedarvale and had to turn back to Terrace. Thankfully, there were no injuries to anyone in the van – although there was “pretty extensive damage” to the van itself, said coach Keith Axelson.

Breaking even AND CALEDONIA’S Sr. Boys Soccer team split a pair of games on Sept. 28 on the road in Smithers. The team defeated Hazelton in its opening game and lost a tight match 2-1 to Smithers in the second game.

Skeena settles for silver in Prince George THE STRENGTH of Terrace’s volleyball scene looks to be shining again this season with Skeena Middle School’s Grade 9 girls’ taking second place at the Jr. B Girls Volleyball Kodiak Classic in a hard-fought final against the undefeated College Heights. Nine teams went head-to-head at the tournament, held Sept. 2728 at Prince George Secondary School (PGSS). On Friday, Skeena’s first match was against College Heights – the same team they would later meet in the finals. The sets proved to be a challenge, with Skeena having difficulty with serve receiving and unable to respond to a strong offensive attack by their opponents. Skeena finished with a 25-11 loss in the first set and 25-20 in the second. But they bounced back in their second match against Mackenzie, with strong serves and good net play, cruising to victory with a

25-5 win in the first set and a 25-7 win in the second. And Saturday saw Skeena up against Duchess Park – consistent serving and a solid offensive attack, combined with strong blocking on the defensive side led them to take the first set 2519, and the second 25-20. Skeena’s fourth game against PGSS proved to be a close match, with points knocking back and forth evenly between the two teams over the first two sets, of which PGSS won the first 25-23 and Skeena won the second 2518. The match was ultimately Skeena’s, with a 15-12 win in the tiebreaking set. Coach Frank Marrelli credits the team’s positive attitude for the win. “Never giving up proved to be an asset,” he said. These results placed Skeena second in its pool and in good position in the playoffs to follow.

Skeena settles for silver in Prince George Their fifth quarter final game was against DP Todd – a close game with both teams rallying for each point. Skeena proved to be stronger in the end winning 25-18 and 25-15. This set the team up for its semi-final game versus the first placed team in the other pool, Kelly Road. In this game, Skeena struggled early with confidence and passing but then improved their ability to focus and became motivated, and ultimately made it to the finals. The finals saw Skeena meet the undefeated team who had beat them in the first match of the tournament – College Heights. But a confident Terrace team came ready to give it their all. “This match, as expected, proved to be Skeena’s biggest challenge,” said Marrelli. Both teams exchanged points back and forth, making it a true nailbiter. Both teams screamed with every point earned, and the crowd was treated to an exciting match that involved long rallies and good team spirit. Skeena lost the first set 25-19, giving College Heights confidence going into the second set – but Skeena didn’t lie down, keeping a two-point spread through most of the match until Skeena finally won 25-23. But in the third tie-breaking set, College Heights took an early lead and Skeena had difficulty responding, ultimately losing 15-6. “It was an amazing tournament packed with a roller coaster of emotions for this all Grade 9 team,” said Marrelli, noting he was impressed with the team’s self-confidence and ‘never quit’ attitude. “The team remained strong mentally and had to battle back in a number of situations to secure their victory. This was only the team’s second tournament this season and will hopefully act as a springboard for future tournaments. Many thanks to all the parents and family members who were able to accompany the team to Prince George (and also those who sent their support by means of social media and text) to cheer us on and assist as needed,” he said.

ill lives in the US midwest. He is in the banking elite and nearing the end of his career. Like many of his peers, Bill has done an extraordinary job of accumulating cash while a large number of his countrymen watched their bank accounts shrivel. He is one of the fabled 1%. Bill grew up in a relatively small town in Northern California close enough to wilderness to develop a love of the outdoors. Camping, hunting, and fishing are prominent in Bill’s boyhood recollections. He looks back on them with great fondness. Over the course of his life as a banker, Bill played a prominent role in enterprises that have led to the alienation, and, in the case of mining ventures, the permanent destruction of vast tracts of wilderness. The fact that he has been able to live with this and justify it as part of some kind of greater good is strong testimony to the crushing pressure corporations exert on their members to conform. Life’s changed for Bill. His hair is gray. His skin is wrinkled and leathery. The meetings that he once looked on as great games combining the thrill of high stakes poker and the concentration and mental athleticism of chess, are tedious now that he has lost his edge and, even he has to admit (but only to himself) some of his cranial acuity. It’s time. He’s talked about it long enough – and way too often, according to his third wife, Ellie – to kick back

Here we have this year’s Caledonia Sr. Girls volleyball team.

Cal nets bronze in Kamloops CAledonia’s senior girls volleyball team is finding its footing this season, with two tournaments away and one at home under its belt. The team travelled to Prince George Sept. 13 and 14, where it had a bit of a rough start, placing sixth out of 12 teams.

“Being the first tournament early in the season, this was expected as the girls were learning systems and the whole team was not able to go to this tournament,” said coach Carmen Didier. And two weekends ago the team was in Kamloops, Sept. 27 and 28, with much better re-

sults in its second tournament. Placing third out of 29 teams, the team played consistently the entire tournament, beating some prominent teams from the Lower Mainland. The team lost in the semifinal match to Chilliwack, but came back strong to get the bronze – beating Prince

He Googled. It did indeed. It had Atlantic Salmon and Pacific Salmon, six varieties of the latter. He clicked on the most prominent blue heading. It took him to the Skeena. He was gobsmacked. The river boasted the largest chinook salmon in the world. It had coho salmon, chums, sockeye, pinks, and wild steelhead – again the world’s largest. There were Bull Trout, Dolly Varden, and Cutthroat trout as a diversion. Bill Googled the regulations. Five days on some of the best wild steelhead water on the planet, with no guide required and unfettered access to multiple rivers and hundreds of miles of river: $410 and in some places a hundred dollars less than that. Bill checked his figures. He was correct. Website after website touted the fishing to be had on the Skeena River where an angler like Bill could fish for all six species of salmon including wild steelhead. Fishing the Skeena was even cheaper. For $210 he could fish an unlimited number of days on large sections of the river. “Ellie,” he said to his wife, who was reading nearby. “I don’t know why these Canadians want to give away their fish at Walmart prices, but I’m going to go there before it gets really crowded.”
