Treaty talks delayed

JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

■ In solidarity against abuse RANI PARMAR, left, of Terrace joins a group participating in the annual One Billion Rising event at Brolly Square on Feb. 14. One of the largest global days of action ever conceived, organizers say the name is drawn from the statistic that one in three women will be raped or physically abused in her lifetime. The event here, which was put on through the Ksan House Society, was combined with events and marches held across the country in memory of missing and murdered women. Calls for a federal inquiry into missing and murdered women have been growing.

NEGOTIATIONS LEADING to final land claims treaties for Kitselas and Kitsumkalum are being held up by the federal government. Nearly one year after Kitselas First Nation voters agreed to a treaty agreement in principle and 10 months since Kitsumkalum First Nation voters did the same, the federal government has yet to ratify its acceptance of the two agreements, says Gerald Wesley, the chief negotiator for Kitselas and for Kitsumkalum. That's despite negotiators for all three parties signing off on the two agreements in Jan. 2013, an act that lead to the two votes. “We're still engaged but there is disappointment from each of our communities,” said Wesley last week. “Who knows when it might happen. We don't,” he said of the federal failure so far to ratify. “There are no important issues that we know of and none have been brought to the treaty table.” Wesley did note that the provincial government has given its approval to the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum agreements in principle. The approval by Kitselas and Kitsumkalum voters last year of their respective agreements in principle brought on predictions that final treaties, which would also need voter approval, could be ready for ratification within two years. The agreements in principle laid out the quantity of land and the amount of money that would be provided to Kitselas and to Kitsumkalum as well self government and other powers.

Housing non-profit wants more support BY JOSH MASSEY THE EXECUTIVE director of a local non-profit housing group says a plan to develop 20 new affordable housing units is in limbo because the city turned down its application for a community grant. Carol Sabo wants to expand Ksan Society's affordable housing strategy to include the construction of packaged housing units. According to her plan, eight would

be rented at market price and be made available to households that earn below $64,000 and 12 would be rented at a fixed rate based on income assistance levels. “Our community is in a period of extreme growth,” said Sabo in her proposal. “People on fixed incomes are in dire situations.” The two and three-bedroom single-storey rental houses would be of the prefab variety, constructed at an estimated cost of $90,000 each,

said Sabo. To get the construction done cheaply, she said she envisions launching a community initiative relying on a large volunteer base to assemble the packaged housing, possibly in conjunction with construction classes offered at Northwest Community College. Sabo first presented floor plans and a budget to council back on November 14 of last year, along with a request that the city enter into a long-term lease agreement

with Ksan for city lands for 35 years and pledge to rezone the land if necessary in order to allow for the multi-family residential units. One site for Ksan's potential development is a section of city land on the north side of Haugland Ave. between Hall and Evergreen streets, just south of the current Ksan headquarters. She also applied for $10,000 in community grant money from the city to pay for the completion of

the planning phase with an eye to begin building as soon as possible. But she says her plans stalled when the grant application was turned down by staff and council in December. Councillor Stacey Tyers argued at the time that giving Ksan $10,000 would set a precedent whereby other developers would come knocking for money to help them with their own plans.

City says it supports Ksan’s housing plan “Something like this makes me nervous,” said councillor Stacey Tyers at the Dec. 2 budget meeting. “Because it isn't subsidized and it isn't low income. It's affordable, and I respect that, but it opens us up to every developer to come ask for money for feasibility studies.” While Tyers argued that the city would more wisely finance subsidized housing, Sabo now says that Ksan is in effect self-subsidizing the project through its volunteer effort and cost-effective, not-forprofit strategy. The city does give Ksan a property tax break for their transition house and emergency shelters as well as pool pass discounts for their employees and subsidized lease rate for garden lands. Mayor David Pernarowski said at the December meeting he wanted the project to be further along before supporting it financially through a community grant. Now, two-and-a-half months later, Sabo said she has been unable to further the project because Ksan doesn't have the resources in terms of labour time to put towards the necessary strategic legwork. “I don't feel they are being as supportive as they could,” Sabo said about her current arrangements with the city. “The reason we were disappointed at the decision to turn down the grant was because the $10,000 was supposed to go to hire someone to help us with the project. Now it's going to drag out. We applied to CMHC (Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation) who would normally say yes but they are out of money this year.” She said the city shouldn't wait around for government dollars and should support projects like the one she is proposing. “We can't lean on the province. We have to do something differently,” said Sabo. City planner David Block said details still need to be worked out about Ksan leasing city land, and that he is contact with Sabo regarding her plans.

“The lease rate would be low even if it was based on land value,” he said of council’s resolve to lease land to the society. “This

will need to be negotiated and determined by council in the future.” The development plan needs to be elaborated to include more site layout

and servicing, said Block. Commenting later in a Facebook post, Mayor Pernarowski said “the city is fully committed to partnering with Ksan

House to bring this affordable housing project concept to reality. “The Ksan House affordable housing project is in the very

early stages of development and Council was reluctant to fund up-front concept and design costs when other sources of funding for

this portion of a development is available to access.” Join the discussion at www.terracestandard. com.

TERRACE’S PARALYMPIC athlete Caleb Brousseau was given a warm Olympic sendoff at Uplands Elementary School on Tuesday, Feb. 11 before heading to Sochi, Russia in a few weeks. The school sang Oh! Canada and this year’s Olympic anthem before presentations to Brousseau from My Mountain Co-op and Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski. “When you dream, you have to make sure you follow through right from the beginning to the end,” said Brousseau to the school. He then spent the day meeting with students in the library, answering their questions about what it’s like to be an Olympic-calibre athlete heading to his first games, a fitting setting as Uplands interim principal Julia Nieckarz-English told Brousseau that the school’s focussed on becoming Olympic level readers and will be thinking of him as they read.

Council won’t ask residents for priorities AT THE Feb. 18 council meeting, councillors addressed something they have been grappling with for some time, which is how to engage Terrace residents to find out what projects they see as priorities. The idea has been promoted by councillor Stacey Tyers and is called participatory budgeting, a method that’s used in New York and which has also been tried in Guelph, Ontario. “It’s a way of gauging what the community sees as a priority,” said Tyers of surveying local residents. She did concede it would take up the time of city employees. At a previous meeting council had asked employees to explore ways of involving residents in decisions tied to civic improvements in light of an expected influx of newcomers. The tentative project list included a second overpass over CN’s tracks, a pedestrian overpass, road improvement projects, and pool upgrades. Corporate administrator Alisa Thompson presented several options to council including a plan for an online survey modelled after a similar one done annu-

ally in Prince George by the University of Northern BC’s Institute for Social Research and Evaluation. The cost of this option is $5,000 plus staff time and it was the option supported by Tyers and councillor Brian Downie. “We have talked many times about the need for communication with the community,” said Downie in support of this option. He added that it would be part of a push to get people involved in a social media discussion about the direction that Terrace is heading. Option two was to have a mail-out questionnaire sent to residents by the same UNBC agency instead of the online survey. It would cost $15,000 to $20,000, including a study by the UNBC agency. “I’d be very hesitant to spend upwards of $20,000 to get people’s opinions about capital projects if for no other reason than the fear I’d get their opinion about spending the $20,000,” said councillor James Cordeiro of that option. Councillor Marylin Davies, filling in for an absent Dave Pernarowski last night, agreed, arguing that elected of-

ficials should act and not get mired in perpetual studies and second guessing. A third option was to hire a polling firm such as Ipsos Public Affairs to do a telephone survey using questions forged by council and employees. After the debate, Downie put forward the motion that “we implement option one to create a survey of the community’s capital projects priorities.” The motion for any kind of contact with the public was defeated by a three to two vote, with Tyers and Downie in favour and councillor Lynne Christiansen, Davies and Cordeiro against the motion.

Councillor Bruce Bidgood was not at the council meeting when the issue was being discussed, but did arrive afterward. In a comment made later, Bidgood said he would have excused himself from voting on the option to hire the UNBC’s Institute for Social Research and Evaluation because he is also an employee of the university. Residents can, however, still speak with council members about financial issues at a 2014 budget open house happening in a couple of weeks. That open house is part of the city’s budget process leading to adoption in early spring.

Search and rescue involves physical training and mental preparation By MARGARET SPEIRS

errace Search and Rescue was in the spotlight several times at the end of 2013 and beginning of 2014 with several disappearances on land and water in the space of a few months. Two searches in particular, missing mushroom pickers Michael Devlin Sabo, 32, and Ike Murray, 26, in the area of Lorne Creek along the Skeena River Sept. 22 and three missing boaters at Frizzell Springs on the Skeena River about 33 km east of Prince Rupert Nov. 10 were notable for the resources and effort devoted by search and rescue volunteers. In the case of Sabo and Murray, efforts expanded beyond Terrace Search and Rescue volunteers to include family members, members of the public, trained search and rescue volunteers from elsewhere and even local Canadian Rangers. Murray walked out of the bush but, unfortunately, Sabo had died and the trio at Frizzell Springs were all found deceased in the river. Even as searchers are concerned about those they are looking for, behind the scenes there are people equally concerned about the welfare of the searchers themselves – search managers look at who to send out, whether or not those people have had experience in dealing with death before, and later, make sure that after a search someone follows up with volunteers to make sure they are OK. Search functions in B.C. begin with local volunteer groups.

SAR TERRACE Search and Rescue (SAR) is a non-profit, volunteer-based search and rescue organization serving Terrace and the northwest. The service is provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Terrace SAR teams provide assistance to the RCMP, BC Ambulance Service, BC Coroners Office and the Provincial Emergency Program (PEP) by not just searching for missing persons but also doing water rescues and recoveries, assisting at disaster scenes and providing aid to other communities and SAR teams. Its members are all volunteers who undergo training in search techniques and in survival skills.

above, a new group of search and rescue volunteers train in the classroom and outside for several months late last year and early this year. Right, search trainees carry a person to safety during a training exercise. Members will also take part in community events, and present information to the public and offer education programs to schools, youth groups, and others. As with many other community groups, the level of volunteerism is high and volunteers come from all walks of life, donating hundreds of hours a year to train, to search and to promote the organization.

Training IN the latest training session, which ran from end of October last year until early February this year in the Terrace area, about 12 people undertook ground search and rescue training, which is the basic course for landbased searches in B.C. “The last two years we have had larger classes, probably due to the higher profile of SAR because of the Lorne Creek and Whiskey Creek searches,” said trainer Jon Coutts, the latter referring to the search for missing filmmaker Warren Sill near Hazelton in 2012. The course consists of seven evening classroom sessions, a day in the field practising navigation skills, an overnight survival exercise and a field day practising search techniques. For the survival exercise, the students spend the night in the woods with only the gear in their day packs –

no tents or sleeping bags – which is to prepare them in case they are dropped off by helicopter and they can’t be picked up at the end of the day due to weather conditions, or in case they find a person who is injured and they have to take care of them until they can be evacuated, said Coutts. “Some characteristics that make a good SAR member are patience, persistence and teamwork,” he said. “Searches can go on for days and there can be a lot of hard work and bushwhacking.” And the support of family is important for members. “Often when you get a call it’s in the evening when you’re looking forward to relaxing before bed and suddenly you need to get ready and head out into the woods at night,” said Coutts.

Service SHERIFF Dwayne Sheppard, who has been involved in SAR since 1998, says the people involved share a unique perspective. “There is something special about working with people who volunteer their own time and put themselves at risk to help someone they do not know,” he said. “This is a rare attribute which many people in SAR share.” He began volunteering while he was working as a forest technician – he believed his mapping and com-

pass skills would benefit the group. But now it’s much more than that. “I enjoy working with the people on the team. They are my second family.” Over the years, he says he’s come to appreciate the impact SAR makes on people’s lives, especially in bringing closure to families by recovering their lost ones.

Support BECAUSE of these recovery efforts, search and rescue crews do have access to counselling if needed. Emergency Management BC (EMBC) has a program called Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), a team of trained volunteers that travels throughout the province to help where and if issues come up, said Terrace Search and Rescue member Dave Jephson. “So issues would be dealing with lots of dead people. Unfortunately we’re getting too good at that,” he said, adding that 2013 was by far one of the busiest years for searches. Whenever a SAR team recovers a body or deals with a bad call, the event is discussed with EMBC, which always makes sure to ask if a CISM volunteer is wanted here, said Jephson. “It’s a great program, very successful,” he said. Sometimes, like in the case of the three people who

went missing at Frizzell Springs, the service isn’t requested because SAR didn’t discover the bodies – in that instance, two were found by the police and the third by the coast guard. And Terrace SAR has never requested the service since most of the members receive counselling services through their jobs. “We haven’t [asked for CISM] in Terrace because so many of us belong to different agencies, we kind of have some other resources,” said Jephson. A number of SAR members are firefighters or police officers. “At some point in time I think what we know is the service is there and available to us so it’s not that we police it on our own, but we spend a lot of time talking to members. If it’s a bad call, we’ll discuss it with mem-

bers later that day or that night or the next day. I’ll follow up with a phone call to talk to them,” said Jephson. “Part of the process with CISM is talking through it with peers, people who understand what we’re talking about and we get people to walk through the call or [search] process.” There’s certain signs to watch for, such as coming back from a rescue and everybody’s quiet, he said. It’s difficult to know what the trigger is for why a rescue situation bothers rescuers, he added. They have recovered friends and done CPR on friends and had family members there for a body recovery, said Jephson. “That’s why you go through it, right, and you talk and don’t want it to weigh on people,” he said.

EDITORIAL

Fairness? AS important as the just-released federal and provincial budgets are to the governments who prepared them, even more important is how that government was chosen in the first place. Enter the Fair Elections Act, introduced several weeks ago by the federal Conservative government. Just from the legislation’s title you know there’s trouble, for it would have us believe that something unfair has been going on. Perhaps one unfair aspect was having Elections Canada, the non-partisan agency charged with overseeing how federal voting and elections are carried out, digging too deep into the use of robo-calls during the last federal election. Someone used fairly sophisticated computer-driven automatic phoning programs to direct voters away from their intended polling stations in six ridings during the last federal election. While that someone, a federal court judge subsequently ruled, was not the Conservative party, that someone did have access to a voter database maintained by the Conservatives. So, yes. Passing legislation to remove the power of inquiry from Elections Canada and hand it to an agency to be appointed by the Conservative government, which is one of many changes being proposed, sounds like a pretty darn fair way to correct something the Conservative government obviously feels is so unfair in the first place. Not. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Years later, Robert Klein is still funny

ecently I came far too close to dying doing something I love. What I love doing is enjoying humour whether in movies, books, or stand-up routines. That’s why I watched Jay Leno’s final Tonight Show. To wind up his 22 years in style, he brought back Billy Crystal, his very first guest. Crystal reminisced about how they both began as stand-up comics. Leno lived then in an apartment in his home city of Boston where he generously bunked startup comedians who couldn’t yet afford lodgings of their own. Crystal was one. Over Leno’s bed hung a publicity poster of Leno’s idol, Robert Klein, a standup comic ten years Leno’s senior. A man I had never heard of until Crystal named him. While I dallied over my breakfast coffee several days later I googled Robert Klein and on Youtube found two of his comic routines – one about visiting a dentist and the typical things dentists do. They aren’t funny until a comedian bends them out of shape and adds sound effects, evoking memories of Tim Conway as a dentist in

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI a Carol Burnett skit where Conway injected himself with anesthesia, paralyzing first one hand, then one leg. His patient, Harvey Korman, laughed so uncontrollably he wet his trousers. Klein’s second Youtube routine mocked the way we treat our pets as though they were humans. Like Leno, Klein used no obscene language in his jokes. At the time of his Youtube routines in the 1970s TV was closely censored. George Carlin’s “Seven Words You Can’t Say on TV” were rigidly enforced. Leno has always abided by those language restrictions and

still draws large audiences because of it. Too many comics today expect viewers to approve of cuss words thrown in “like an excuse for potty-mouth behaviour with expletives as the main attraction,” in the words of New York Times critique Kathryn Shattuck. If a comedian, actor or writer wants me as his audience, he’d best put more effort into creative turns of phrase and plot twists. The best, funniest, longest remembered comedians have the cleanest routines. Remember Bob Hope, Mark Twain, George Burns? Klein was well into his animals-as-people Youtube routine when one of his observations struck me sideways. Caught mid-sip, I choked. I didn’t spew coffee all over my desk or down my shirt; I wheezed like a 90-year-old diehard smoker with COPD. Though my lungs struggled valiantly, they exchanged less breath than would a snoozing kitten. Fearful thoughts darted about in my brain. There I was, by myself, too short of breath to dial 911, and if I could, I’d be suffocated before a dispatcher could an-

swer. My next thought was, “Laughing while drinking or eating is another hazard to lengthen a senior’s list of risks.” Not enough seniors must be on guard at all times to prevent falls and other mishaps by keeping a tidy home, immediately cleaning up any spills especially in the kitchen, maintaining a clear pathway from room to room, installing grab bars in the bathtub and shower, providing good lighting on stairs, now I must avoid comedians while eating. No more “Everybody Loves Raymond” or “The Big Bang Theory” at snack time; I’ll stay safe watching CPAC or “How It’s Made”. Dying while doing something you love seems to me to be highly overrated, certainly not an ending devoutly to be wished. In 2006 Klein published a memoir titled, “The Amorous Busboy of Decatur Avenue: A Child of the Fifties Looks Back.” His 384 page book is available for $20 through Misty River Books.

The Mail Bag Rail service found lacking Dear Sir: I am concerned about the low level of service that VIA Rail is offering citizens of Northwest BC. Today is February the 9th and I just dropped my wife off at the George Little House Railway Station in Terrace. She will be travelling to Prince George and once again the train was cancelled and a bus ride was offered instead. Friends of ours with two little toddlers were also very much disappointed that the train would be replaced by a bus. The train is also more often an hour or two or three late than it is on time. Increasingly local people are beginning to think twice about taking the train when traveling either east or west. I believe VIA Rail is doing a poor job of managing this line - the

route between Prince Rupert and Jasper. They need to adequately staff this route with engineers or we will continue to experience cancelled trains and disappointed passengers. I am also very concerned that VIA Rail has tested a single unit commuter style train that formerly serviced the E and N railway on Vancouver Island as a means of cutting costs on the line between Prince Rupert and Jasper. It apparently was tested last fall - according to the information provided to us by a conductor on a recent trip to Edmonton. I believe these units would be highly inappropriate on this northern route for the following reasons. 1. These commuter style single unit trains are not designed for long distances. They would be a serious down grade in

comfort – think riding on an old school bus. 2. The current heavier and more robust passenger train units are much safer in the event of a head on crash with an oncoming freight train. Passenger safety needs to remain a top priority. 3. These smaller units are also more at risk if a small landslide were encountered or a large mammal like a bull moose was hit by the train. Both of these events happen with some frequency on this line. 4. Instead of promoting this area and its tourism potential and this particular train trip, which is one of the most spectacular in the country, this move would discourage tourism in the area. It takes a lot of different pieces working together to create and sustain tourism. 5. The residents along this line are hav-

Gov’t continues to favour seniors over young

f there is one thing we can take away from the latest federal budget, it is that the government continues to prioritize our aging population over adapting to new problems facing younger Canada. In fact, annual spending on retirees has been growing by approximately $12 billion annually since the Conservatives were first elected in 2011 - nearly six times more than spending increases for Canadians under age 45. But Canadians didn’t hear about this generational inequity from finance minister Jim Flaherty during his budget speech. What we did hear about was what’s ‘new’: the latest minitax credit, promises of income splitting in the future, and small spending commitments totalled up over several years to dazzle us with numbers that sound big. Ignored were the fundamentals like Old Age Security, Health Care, Employment Insurance and Benefits for Families with Children that really drive how Ottawa uses our tax dollars. Since these

are not new, they may seem ‘less newsworthy’. But such a view is akin to missing the forest for the trees. The spending trends reflected in the fundamentals of Budget 2014 shine a light on a troubling pattern: the federal government’s continued disregard to Canada’s Generation Squeeze. Here’s what we know about how the federal government plans to spend $132 billion in 2016/17: Elderly Benefits like Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement will rise to around $49 billion a year, up $8 billion from 2011/12 after adjusting for inflation. The Canada Health Transfer will rise to $36 billion a year, up $4 billion. Nearly half of medical care spending goes to the 15 per cent of Canadians over age 65. Employment Insurance for the working age population will stay relatively static at around $20 billion a year. Benefits for families with children will fall to around $13.7 billion a year, a drop of around 4 per cent per person under age 45.

g u e s t c o mm e n t

PAUL KERSHAW The Canada Social Transfer, which represents federal contributions to education and social services, will stay relatively static around $13 billion a year. All levels of Canadian government combine to spend around $45,000 per retiree each year, compared to approximately $12,000 per person under age 45. The high level of spending per retiree is not the problem. The

Canada Public Pension Plan, Old Age Security and Medical Care have successfully reduced the economic pressures facing millions of seniors today compared to the past. Now poverty is lower for seniors than any other age group, which is a policy success of which we should be proud. The problem is that Ottawa adds nearly $12 billion in new annual spending to maintain the $45,000 allocated per person over 65 as more Canadians retire, while going on to say we can’t afford to address new challenges facing younger generations. Although today’s high housing prices mean more wealth for those who bought homes decades ago, they are bad for their kids and grandchildren. High home prices squeeze generations under age 45 with crushing debt, which they must pay with wages that have fallen thousands of dollars a year compared to a generation ago, and in jobs that rarely contribute pensions. Canadians under 45 can’t

work their way out of this timeand money-squeeze without giving up something fundamental. They are increasingly forced to choose between coping with the squeeze by studying and working more at the expense of having the family they want. Given that younger Canadians are squeezed by lower wages, higher costs, less time and a deteriorating environment, spending just $12,000 on benefits and services per person under age 45 is out of balance with allocating around $45,000 per person over 65. It’s time for Canada to restock the cupboard to invest more in younger generations, or to explain why spending on younger citizens is so much less important than spending on retirees. Paul Kershaw is a Policy Professor at the University of BC and Founder of Generation Squeeze (gensqueeze.ca), a campaign that is building a Canada that works for all generations.

THE CITY of Terrace now owns the former Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce building and the land upon which it sits.

Infocentre secured Dear Sir: Re: “Broken?,” the editorial in the Feb. 12, 2014 issue of The Terrace Standard. The recent purchase of the land and building that houses the Visitor Information Centre and Kermodei Tourism was done to support a key aspect of our city’s tourism industry and to ensure that our visitor information and tourism centre remained in a familiar, easy-to-find location that continues to serve tourists from all over the world. In the fall of 2011 the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce issued a Termination of Lease Notice to Kermodei Tourism Society terminating their lease of office space in the Keith Avenue building effective December 31, 2011. Kermodei Tourism also operates the Visitor Information Centre from this location on behalf of the city. This was of great concern to council as our Visitor Information Centre has been on this site for more than 35 years. The city asked the chamber to meet with council to discuss their plans. The chamber informed council that they were looking to re-brand themselves and to create a higher profile in the community and had made the decision to take over the entire build-

ing for their own use. The chamber also informed the city that it was their intention to pursue the purchase of the land from the Province. The city contacted the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to verify the status of the land being for sale. We were informed that the province had in fact declared the land surplus and that legislation gives a municipality the right of first refusal. Based on this, council decided unanimously to purchase the land to secure our long-standing VIC location. Now with our Visitor Information Centre location secured and in the ownership of the City of Terrace, we have entered into a $1 per year lease with Kermodei Tourism at the Visitor Information Centre that is valid until December 2016. The City of Terrace is committed to fostering a strong tourism industry which brings millions of dollars of revenue into the city and our region every year. Dave Pernarowski, Mayor, City of Terrace, Terrace, B.C.

Bottom line key to hotel Dear Sir: As a long-time resident in a forestry community, even though this is mostly history, thanks to the provincial government, I am pleased that a new hotel will be built from wood products. As far as fire safety is concerned if the fire chief is OK with the design so am I. It is worth noting that a number of major wood structures have been destroyed by fire during construction and special care needs to take place during construction. Being a past president of the Northwest District Council of Carpenters I do take umbrage with the developer, Mr. Kim Tran’s statement that “We don’t have the tradesmen that can build non-combustible building here in Terrace. I would have to bring someone from Vancouver.” For the record, over my 50 years in Terrace, the building trades people here have built existing hotels, Alcan, Eurocan, Methenex and commercial buildings, including small jobs such as the Happy Gang Centre. Mr. Tran also states that he is reluctant to bring trades people here from Vancouver and goes on to

state that all his employees are familiar with working with wood. The obvious question is where are these people coming from? If Mr. Tran wants to build with wood I wish him all the best. My concern is his justifying his action by diminishing the capability of a group of trades-people that I proudly call my brothers and sisters. The carpenters’ northwest locals have made architects and engineers look good since 1905, to quote Yukon Smith. The fact is that for stick framing a building like this, repetition of each room being precisely as the next can be done by unskilled or semiskilled workers capable of pulling the trigger of a nail gun. It needs only one or two people able to read and execute a blueprint. Needless to say that someone who spent four years to achieve an interprovincial journeyperson’s ticket can demand a better wage, than someone who has not. So let’s be honest, the decision to build with wood, is about the bottom line, nothing else. John Jensen, Terrace, B.C.

BUSINESS REVIEW TERRACE STANDARD

Jobless rate increases THE number of people working in January 2014 in the northwest dropped from December 2013 but so did the number of people who considered themselves part of the labour force. Based on Statistics Canada data, there were 36,900 people working in January, a decline from the 38,400 working in December. But the available labour force also dropped, from 40,900 in December to 39,700 in January. The workforce total contains those who are working as well as those who consider themselves part of the labour market and are looking for work. It can be taken as a sign about how people feel about the economy and about their

employment prospects. The number of people who listed themselves as unemployed rose from 2,500 in December to 2,800 in January. The result was an unemployment rate of 7.1 per cent, more than the December rate of 6.1 per cent. By way of a yearly comparison, there were 39,700 people working in January 2013 with a total labour force of 42,900. The unemployment rate then was 7.5 per cent and there were 3,200 people who considered themselves as unemployed. The provincial unemployment rate was 6.5 per cent with 2,291,700 people saying they were working. The Cariboo posted the lowest jobless rate of the regions within B.C. at 5.5 per

cent followed by Vancouver Island at 6 per cent while the Thompson-Okanagan had the highest rate, 8.4 per cent. Across Canada, employment rose by 29,000 in January, the result of an increase in full-time work. The national unemployment rate declined 0.2 percentage points to 7 per cent. The northwest jobless rate is not the number of people collecting Employment Insurance. Instead it is based on interviews of people from the north coast to just this side of Vanderhoof who consider themselves as part of the workforce whether they are employed or not. And that means the jobless rate can reflect how people feel about their own employment prospects.

ACCESS road from Hwy37 South to the city’s industrial park south of the airport cost just over $2.1 million.

City borrows to complete road THE CITY is borrowing $300,000 to finish off its financial obligations tied to the construction of the intersection and access road from Hwy37 South to its Skeena Industrial Development Park. The money, to be paid back over five years to lender the Municipal Finance Authority, is part of just under $790,000 spent by the city from 2009 to last year on the project. The city had to commit at least $688,587 to receive grants worth the same amount from the federal and provincial governments, but its final total reached $786,292. That amount included the $688,587 needed to qualify for matching grants and $97,705 in costs that weren’t eligible for matching grants. The city’s engineering department had originally forecast spending $116,762 on work for which there would be no matching grants available, meaning the project came in at $19,057 below expectations, said city finance official Ron Bowles. Aside from the $300,000 lump sum now being borrowed, the remainder of the city’s costs were covered through annual budget allocations, he said. All told, the intersection and road project cost $2,103,466 and provides safe access to more than 2,000 acres

of provincial crown land south of the Northwest Regional Airport the city has either bought or has an option to buy for resale to developers. Although the road and intersection project was a three-way arrangement between the city and the federal and provincial governments, the city has a separate land sales profit and cost sharing agreement with the Kitselas First Nation. Under an agreement signed in 2011, costs borne by either Terrace or Kitselas will be paid back as land on the industrial site is sold. The city has already sold 10 acres for $250,000 to a company looking to store large pieces of industrial equipment and Veresen, a Calgary energy company, has told the city it wants to install a gas-fire power generating plant on land in the park. The Kitselas have also expressed an interest in buying land themselves. But the biggest land deal has yet to be developed and that concerns the possibility of selling half of the park, 1,000 acres, to a Chinese economic development zone. Kitselas and Terrace officials signed a still-confidential memorandum of understanding concerning the sale while on a trip to China last November. The $300,000 loan has an interest rate of 1.72 per cent.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

it was felt the price would be too high for compact SUV buyers. Drive As hard as it might be to believe, this new, larger and slightly heavier (49kg) Rogue is actually more fuel-efficient than the last model. They were able to improve the economy by 18 per cent through the introduction of a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), aerodynamic tricks, and letting the carried-over engine breathe a bit better. Still rated at 170hp, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine does a good job in city driving, thanks to the gearing of the new CVT but can seam a bit underpowered for higher, passing manouevre on the highway. Overall, the person filling the new Rogue up with fuel will welcome this balance of efficiency and everyday drivability. As part of the winter driving experience, I drove on an ice course in Macaglisse, Que., to highlight the vehicle’s stability system and the Active Trace Control feature. On the first run, through the twisty, sheer ice roads the entire system was shut off. As I crested a hill, then made a hard right turn, the Rogue slid all

the way out to the edges of the corner, almost hitting the opposing snow bank. On the second run, with the advanced systems on, the same road was almost uneventful. The stability and traction control kept the wheels from spinning but the Trace Control System provides just a slight amount of brake force to the inside wheels to help the Rogue navigate the sheet ice with confidence. Verdict The objective with this new Rogue was to be noticed and provide a level of refinement and creature comforts that the competition isn’t providing. The pricing is fantastic, especially the middle SV models. The larger interior dimensions will always be welcome, as buyers like to get more for their money, but it is still small and efficient enough for city buyers.

Safety Tip: Distracted driving is the third leading cause of car crash fatalities in our province, which is why police are out in full force this month as part of a province-wide distracted driving campaign. According to one recent study, texting while driving makes you 23 times more likely to be in a crash.

Juke is is extraordinarily extraordinarily out Juke outof ofthe the ordinary ordinary Nissan Juke 2011 to 2013 If you’re looking for something a little out of the ordinary, then check out a Nissan Juke. It was described by Nissan as a sport cross-utility vehicle, when introduced for the 2011 model year. The Juke is not big or pricey; it has (let’s say) distinctive styling lines and it packs a hot little engine under hood that also provides excellent fuel economy. It is short in length yet tall in stature and has a wide stance with short front/rear body overhangs. The round headlights were rally car-inspired and are topped by distinctive “crocodile eye” light combinations. From a side view, the Juke has a two-door coupe look with “hidden” rear door handles. Even a base SV trim level of Juke comes surprisingly well equipped with alloy wheels, keyless entry, air conditioning, 4-wheel disc brakes, stability control, steering wheel audio controls, heated side mirrors, a security system, Bluetooth and audio connectivity. The sweetest part of the package is the turbocharged (with intercooler) 1.6-litre direct injection, 16-valve engine. Power peeks at an impressively high 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. While its fuel economy ratings are a super-frugal 7.3/6.1 L/100 km (city/highway), this engine does prefer pricier premium fuel. An optional all-wheeldrive (AWD) system comes with a torque-vectoring feature on the rear axle. Under normal driving conditions, it directs all drive power to the front wheels for best fuel economy. It can (automatically) vary drive up to an equal split between the front and rear axles. An I-Con display with a drive mode selector, which offers different throttle/ transmission/steering response settings, comes with the higher SL trim level. This trim also includes fog lights, a power moonroof, push-button start and climate control air conditioning. A 6-speed manual transmission was standard with the front-drive models and the automatic is a CVT type.

Despite Juke’s compact exterior dimensions, there’s seating space (with a bit of a squeeze) for five adults on the inside. The rear seat is a handy folddown 60/40-split bench that folds flat to provide an extended cargo floor. Juke’s centre console is a motorcycle-inspired design that has a high-gloss (colour-matched) painted finish. The design and slope of the roof at the back, however, does limit rear vision from a driver perspective. Juke carried-over into the 2012 model year virtually unchanged and had only minor alterations for 2013. The Navigation package includes a rear view monitor and a stereo upgrade (that was standard on Juke SL). The NHTSA overall crash test safety rating (front/ side/rollover) for Juke was 4 out of 5 stars, with a 3 out of 5 stars in its frontal impact test. It received a coveted “recommended” buy rating from Consumer Reports and an overall “average” rating for reliability. Daring to be different, the Nissan Juke is a fun vehicle to drive and an interesting vehicle option for those bored with conformist compact sedans. Price Check: 2011 - 2013 Nissan Juke (January 2014) •2011 SV $15,000 to $18,000 •2012 SV $17,000 to $21,000 •2013 SV $19,000 to $23,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Safety Recalls: 2011 to 2013 Nissan Juke: 2011: A weld at the boost sensor bracket may fail, allowing the bracket to separate from the air inlet tube. If this occurred, the engine would enter fail-safe driving mode with reduced motive power. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the air inlet tube assembly. 2011/2012: The fuel pressure sensor connected to the engine fuel delivery rail may not have been sufficiently tightened dur-

and narrow – aka out of my lane – the lane departure warning would gently lead me back into place. And since it was frigid outside – Ontario and Michigan in January is anything but tropical – features like a remote starter, heated seats, a heated steering wheel and dual climate zone controls keep occupants toasty warm. Not to mention there was a generous

amount of power being delivered from its 3.2L, Pentastar V6 engine, which is rated at 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. It’s then linked to a 9-speed automatic transmission. And with 4x4 capabilities, I was ready to brave the winter conditions, on bare roads or not. Luckily, it was a beautiful day, with few clouds in the sky and clear roads. Things were looking good. Then it happened. A sign. A sign to Canada nonetheless. Looks like we’d been routed through Sarnia. I was doing a little happy dance on the inside. Did I doubt the GPS’s ability to lead? I sure did. Then again, it’s not out of my character to question authority. As we handed the CBSA our passports, all I could think about was finding a fuel station before we got stranded. And yes, I was very happy to be in Ontario. But I’d be happier when I knew I was on a plane to Vancouver. Yet, I was thoroughly enjoying my time in the Cherokee, quirky styling and anxiety aside. It had an ability to somewhat calm my woes due to its temperate nature. The quiet cabin allowed for wonderful conversations, whether it was with myself, with the GPS or with Keith. In addition, I managed to learn a lot from road signs. I will not wholeheartedly rely on the GPS and will not pick up hitchhikers in Michigan. Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

From front

Fish provisions still outstanding The Kitsumkalum First Nation, based on its proposed agreement in principle, is to receive approximately 44,809 hectares and $44.2 million in cash while the Kitselas First Nation is to receive 35,090 hectares and approximately $34.7 million in cash. Both first nations were also offered additional land parcels as an inducement to vote in favour of the agreements in principle. Agreements in principle, even after being approved, however, are not legally binding and details could change once negotiations get underway toward a final treaty document. Wesley said the federal failure to ratify even affects how members of the two communities regard their own negotiating teams. “We ratified the agreements in principle and said we were ready but a year later, here we are. That doesn't do a lot for our credibility,” he said. One unfortunate byproduct of not being able to negotiate final agreements is uncertainty at a time of potential large scale industrial activity, he added. “The prospect of an oil and

gas industry doesn't specifically address treaties but there are implications for us and opportunities and if there are no treaties, it can cause confusion,” he said. Despite the federal failure, Wesley said the three parties have made some progress in how the wording of some parts of final agreements might look. But even that work will come to an end if federal ratification doesn't take place, said Wesley. He warned that a final hurdle will remain outstanding if not cleared up in a final agreement. And that's having the federal government negotiate fish and marine life allocations. To date the federal government won't negotiate fish provisions, saying it has yet to fully consider the findings of a 2012 royal commission into the 2009 collapse of the Fraser River sockeye run. “It's a key issue for all first nations,” said Wesley of the need to include fish in final treaties. Without fish provisions, Wesley is doubtful first nations negotiators would seek to have final treaties approved by first nations voters.

IDA CHONG, far left, flew north in her role as the provincial aboriginal relations and reconciliation minister on Jan. 31, 2013 to sign two agreements providing land to the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas First Nations. Beside her is Judy Gerow, the Kitselas chief councillor at the time and beside her is Kitselas treaty negotiator Glenn Bennett.

Crown land transfers have yet to take place THE FEDERAL government isn’t the only government lagging behind when it comes to efforts to conclude two local land claims treaties. While the provincial government has ratified agreements in principle for the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum first nations, it has yet to turn over parcels of lands to both communities. Those parcels, which are outside any lands agreed to in agreements in principle, were regarded as inducements for both communities to ratify the agreements in principle in the first place. And if Kitselas and Kitsumkalum did not vote in favour of those agreements, they wouldn’t receive the additional lands. With the first anniversary of the Kitselas approval in principle being Feb. 20 and the Kitsumkalum firsts anniversary coming in April, the chief treaty negotiator for both communities doesn’t understand why the province hasn’t followed through with its commitment. “We’re still waiting for the

title. It’s a bit frustrating,” says the chief treaty negotiator Gerald Wesley. He said transferring the promised land, which was clearly identified in documents signed by then-aboriginal relations and reconciliation minister Ida Chong during a visit here in January 2013, should not be more complicated that any other real estate transaction. “We did ask and were told they had to go through a consultation process, but that’s all we know,” said Wesley. Chong, during her visit here, described the transfer of title to the lands as a way for the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas to immediately benefit from ownership. “These are part of our continuing commitment to involve First Nations in the economy,” said Chong of the parcels. All of the lands involved are Crown lands taking up approximately 148 hectares in two parcels for the Kitsumkalum and 250 hectares in three parcels for the Kitselas.

The larger of the Kitsumkalum parcels is to become part of the community’s rock quarry opened last year while the other, farther north along the West Kalum Forestry Road, is to be used for a subdivision. The largest of the Kitselas parcels is to allow the First Nation’s Gitaus subdivision to expand and is located on both sides of Hwy16, while another, near the airport, is to be rolled into its agreement with the City of Terrace for the development of an industrial park. A small parcel of land at Catt Point on Lakelse Lake across from Lakelse Lake Provincial Park is included in the Kitselas deal. A statement from the provincial government said the length of time it’s taking to transfer the lands isn’t considered out of the ordinary. “We anticipate incremental treaty agreement lands to be transferred within the next two to three months,” the statement continued.

The KSM Project – What’s required to get approval? This summer, Seabridge Gold expects to hear the decision on its environmental assessment application for the KSM Project. The proposed gold-copper-molybdenum-silver mine located 65 kilometers north of Stewart will be a large mining operation providing valuable minerals to the world, tax revenues to the province and jobs, economic growth and infrastructure development to local communities. It’s important to know the facts about how a mine is designed – and what’s required to get approval. Studying Effects on Water Quality and Fish Protecting the environment is one of Seabridge’s top priorities. Seabridge has thoroughly assessed the project and its impacts on the environment in its Environmental Assessment Application which includes topics such as potential effects to fish and aquatic habitat due to changes in water quality, including sub-lethal toxicity. Seabridge has worked with independent wildlife, fishery and engineering experts to develop a project that minimizes impacts on water, fish and the aquatic environment. Did you know that the KSM Project Environmental Assessment is available to the public online? The KSM Project EA is available online here: http:// a100.gov.bc.ca/appsdata/epic/html/deploy/epic_project_ home_322.html. Anyone can access the document to learn more. Developing a Large Mine Responsibly Some people have asked whether KSM is too big to mine safely and responsibly. The project is similar in size and scope to Teck’s Highland Valley Copper mine in Kamloops, BC. Highland Valley has been in operation since 1986, successfully produces 133,000 tons per day (tpd) and is a key economic driver in the interior of BC. It’s important to remember, producing 130,000 tpd, as would KSM, is only average in size compared to other mines around the world. There is no doubt KSM has engineering and project design challenges due to the terrain and the distance between the mine site and the processing area, which are connected by tunnels. KSM Project tunnels are similar in design to the Granduc tunnels located near Stewart, BC, which were constructed in the 1960s and are still usable today. Antofagasta’s Los Pelambres copper mine in Chile also provides a great comparison to KSM given that it’s

situated in a rugged highland terrain 3,600 metres above sea level and is divided into two main work sites located many kilometres apart and connected by tunnels. Los Pelambres proves KSM’s engineering and project design are manageable challenges. Approval Process Mines in Canada get approved when the benefits of a project far outweigh the risks. And mines only get built when there is a strong level of proof and certainty in the design and detailed plans are in place to manage any potential risks. KSM’s 35,000-page environmental assessment submission took five years to prepare – hundreds of people from more than 16 world-class consulting firms provided input and studies, and the design has been updated several times to reflect concerns of local citizens, including Treaty Nations and First Nations. Seabridge’s environmental assessment is under review by both the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and the BC Environmental Assessment Office. These regulatory agencies are carefully considering the environmental impacts of KSM as well as the social and economic benefits of building a mine in northwest British Columbia. To learn more about the KSM Project visit the KSM Project website (www.ksmproject.com) or our offices in Smithers or Dease Lake, BC.

“As a proud

British Columbian, protecting our coast is one of our greatest priorities.”

This endorsement came with 209 conditions that we must meet before we start operations. These conditions reflect the input of thousands of British Columbians and Canadians, and include many of the commitments we made in our submission. We are working towards meeting these conditions in the same way we’ve been working hard to meet the tough conditions put forward by the Province. Many of these conditions centre around the preservation and protection of the diverse marine life that populate the coast of B.C. In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing the details behind a number of these conditions with you – like detailed emergency response and mammal protection plans. We’ve consulted with experts from around the world to make sure that we’re doing everything possible to protect B.C.’s coastline. We’re doing all this hard work because we are committed to building a safer, better pipeline. Sincerely,

Janet Holder Leader of Northern Gateway

Help for veterans a phone call away

STAFF PHOTO

VOLUNTEER Doug McFarlen from Branch 13 of the Royal Canadian Legion helps local veterans find the help they need.

WHEN LOCAL veterans or their spouses need help, they know who to call. Doug McFarlane is the service officer for Branch 13 of the Royal Canadian Legion. It’s a volunteer position and McFarlane was appointed by the legion here nearly six years ago. It’s a multi-faceted job and has no set hours but it does require McFarlane to know a little bit about everything that affects veterans or their spouses. One of his roles is to act as a bridge between local veterans and their spouses and various support services offered by the federal Department of Veterans Affairs. “The veterans come to me and I can help them with information and phone numbers,” said McFarlane. The Department of Veterans Affairs used to have a counsellor based in Prince George but that position has since been eliminated and McFarlane now communicates with an official based in the Lower Mainland. In some ways, McFarlane says, he acts as an advocate for veterans. A veteran himself who spent 22 years in the signal corps of the peace time armed forces and who served in Germany, McFarlane is familiar with veterans’ issues. Just how many veterans there are in the Terrace area isn’t exactly known but those who McFarlane mostly deals with, or their spouses, served in either the Second World War or the Korean War. And that group numbers approximately 30, he estimates. “There are fewer and fewer all the time,” says McFarlane. “Within five years, there won’t be any left.” There are veterans in the area from some of Canada’s more recent overseas commitments but

it’s not a large group and they deal directly with the Department of Veterans Affairs. “I’m here for any veteran, not just war veterans but anyone who has been in the service,” said McFarlane. McFarlane is also the local contact between veterans and the branch’s Poppy Fund which is financed through the sale of poppies and information place cards which are displayed in businesses leading up to each Remembrance Day. “Teeth, eyeglasses, hearing aids,” notes McFarlane of fairly typical issues brought to him by veterans or their spouses. It’s important that people in the area know that when they buy a poppy or when a business buys an information display card at Remembrance Day that the money is used in the community. But there are times the fund is used to help veterans passing through the area, says McFarlane. “They may not have any food, money or even transportation,” he adds. In all cases when a request for assistance from the poppy fund – the maximum that can be provided is $500 – the final decision is made by a legion committee. “What I do is gather all the information and that goes to the committee,” said McFarlane. Aside from forms and requests for financial aid, McFarlane will visit veterans in hospital. He will also provide a tribute to veterans at funeral or memorial services. Veterans will also find McFarlane at veterans’ dinners hosted by the legion. They were once held monthly but as the number of veterans has declined, they are now held three or four times a year. “Do they know me? Well, they certainly know my phone number,” says McFarlane about those he serves.

Kennedy wins Legion ‘A’ event By Mary Ann Misfeldt

The Legion 59th Annual Bonspiel was a resounding success. Much thanks goes to chairperson Be Gomes and her committee as well as the many businesses, organizations and individuals who donated financially, physically and their time. Congratulations to the winner of “A” Event which won the Ken Austin Memorial Trophy. This is sponsored by Branch 13, The Royal Canadian Legion and the winner, the John Kennedy rink, was presented with the trophy by the Austin family. With Kennedy was Shane Burke as third, Andy Hoffman as second and Brian Shack as lead. Second in “A” went to the Dave Dennis rink, third to the Maurice Bulleid rink and fourth to the Meek rink. “B” Event and the Bud Kirkaldy Memorial Trophy, sponsored by Canadian Tire and presented by Brian Kirkaldy, was taken by the Greg Morgan rink with Tracey Hittel, Ryan Pigeon and Duncan Brown. Second, third and fourth in “B” were won by the Kurisu, Kutenics and Triton rinks respectively. “C” Event and the Peter Barnett Memorial Trophy, sponsored and presented by four generations of the Barnett family, was won by the Jamie Austin rink with Chad Sallenback in third position and Warren Copeland and Kelly Sallenback throwing second and lead rocks. Second in “C” was J. Bowles, third D. Johnson and fourth C. Wyatt. The Mitch Griffith Rink won the “D” event and the Steve Kutenics Memorial Trophy, sponsored by Chances and

presented by Les Kutenics, with Sylvia Griffith, Kevin and Joanne Preece as third, second and lead respectively. “D” second, third, and fourth places were won by the J. Johnson, T. Leach and C. Goodall rinks. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 13 would like to thank the sponsors of these trophies and the family members who presented them for keeping the memories alive. Thanks also go out to Brian McIntyre and the breakfast crew, the curlers and the volunteers, too numerous to mention, who helped. It is our sincere hope that you will join us again next year for the Big 60th. Plans are already underway and it is intended to make it the biggest and best event in the Northwest. The bonspiel is over but the year’s regular work carries on. Wednesday evenings are drop-in darts, and if enough interest is displayed, the committee will provide crib evenings and the eight-ball tournament is ongoing. Just this past weekend, Terrace played host to the other Legion branches in the Northwest for the Zone Playoffs in eightball and crib.

With all the sporting events at the Legion and fun for members, we must remember our purpose in being is to look after our veterans of all ages who are in need, to promote remembrance and service to our community. In this regard the branch is grateful to Cde. Doug McFarlane the Branch Service Officer. For anyone who is not aware of it, Cde. McFarlane and the Legion are there to assist all veterans – Legion membership is not necessary – who are in need of anything from financial assistance to help in filling out forms.

It’s a BC Winter Games first

For the first time ever, Special Olympics basketball is going to be part of the BC Winter Games – and two Terrace athletes are teaming up with six athletes from Prince Rupert to make the trek to Mission this week. “Special Olympians have been part of the BC Summer Games for many years in athletics and swimming,” said Kelly Mann, President and CEO of the BC Games Society. So it was only natural for that partnership to expand into the Winter Games – when Special Olympics British Columbia proposed including basketball for the first time in 2014 “we agreed that it would be a great addition to the sport line up,” she said. “These athletes have trained and practised their skills for the opportunity to represent their zone at the Games and we look forward to seeing the competition.” Clinton Ho and Caleb Wacholtz, the two Terrace athletes heading to the games, practise every week with their Terrace teammates and coaches at Veritas gym, but the entire northwest zone team won’t practise together until they get to the games. But that doesn’t worry the coaches, Chris Dale, who isn’t able to travel to the games, and assistant coach Gerald Caouette, who will travel with assistant coach Ken Beddie and head coach Bob Jongewaard from Masset. “They’ve practised a long time with our club,” said Cahoutte, of Ho and Wacholtz. They’re experienced with provincial events and should gel with the Prince Rupert players nicely – the teams have played against each other in the past, so there is some familiarity between the squads. Although, for a city known for its basketball, this is only Prince Rupert’s second year with a Special Olympics basketball team. “They’re really good, too,” said Dale, of the Prince Rupert team. “I think they’ll do pretty good in Mission. There are two or three guys on the team that could easily play main stream basketball.” The team isn’t sure what to expect when they get to Mission, as it’s the first year this event is included in the BC Winter Games, but they’re looking forward to it and ANNA KILLEN PHOTO anticipate a fun time, said Cahoutte. The team is travelling today, and will play games Clinton Ho and Caleb Wacholtz, from right in front row, surrounded by their fellow Special Olympians, are heading to the BC Winter Games in Mission this week to compete in Special Olympics basketball. through the weekend.

These athletes are heading to the BC Winter Games to compete in Alpine skiing – missing from photo is Michaela Yeo.

For the first time ever, the Shames Mountain Ski and Snowboard Club (SMSSC) will be sending a full team of male and female Freestyle athletes to represent the Northwest Zone to the BC Winter Games held this year from Feb. 20-23 in Mission. Three girls, Deirdre Lind, Emily Andrews, Autumn Dimitrouv, and three boys Ethan Fell, Aidan Carter, and Jonus Lecuyer will be traveling with SMSSC head coach Chance Healey. And SMSSC athlete Michaela Yeo will be competing in Alpine and travelling with a coach and group of athletes from Smithers, which is also part of Zone 7. This is the first competition of the season for most of these athletes. The Kitimat Rail Jam was cancelled at the end of January due to lack of snow, but a few team members travelled to Smithers Jan. 25 to compete in the Rayz Face Off Freeride competition where Ethan Fell took third place in the 10-13 year old division.

The team also took the opportunity to train in the Terrain Park while there. They’ve also been taking advantage of the Shames Terrain Park, which has been up and running at Shames Mountain since the beginning of February. Athletes have been putting in a lot of time there, said the club’s Angie Healey. The skiing events will be held at Hemlock Resort outside of Mission, with Dual Moguls and Slopestyle slated for Freestyle skiers and Slalom, Giant Slalom, and Skiercross on the schedule for Alpine athletes. But because of the weather, it’s looking like some events are going to be scaled back, dropping Dual Moguls for Freestyle. And planned race courses for Alpine are being changed due to the lack of snow that has been plaguing not only the host hill, Hemlock, but most ski hills in the province this season.

Skiing runs in the family Fourteen-year-old Magda Vandenberg is the third Vandenberg sibling to compete at the BC Winter Games – and with seven brothers and sisters, all crosscountry skiers, it’s fairly likely she won’t be the last. She started cross-country skiing at six, and has watched two of her older sisters get ready for the games – one of them competed when the games were in Terrace. These BC Winter Games are in Mission, but the crosscountry skiers are to be bussed to Whistler, where there’s more snow. “I think it should be pretty good,” she said. “They’ve got quite a good base right now.” Lack of snow has been an issue for cross-country skiers in Terrace this year, but a heavy snowfall last week meant Vandenberg was able to get in a few solid practise sessions. “We’re trying to get out skiing a bit more now that we have snow,” she said last week, noting that she’s also been trying to mentally prepare herself and build her confidence for her biggest competition yet. “I find that when I race if I feel confident I will do a lot better than if I don’t feel very good at all,” she said. Her father is her main coach, but she says she’s had a lot of people coach and help her over the years. “I’ve had help from a lot of people,” she said, noting she wanted to give special thanks to her coaches, the groomers at Onion Lake and the Snow Valley Nordic Rabbit pro-

hat place was paradise, Gene Llewellyn told me over a cup of instant coffee one cold winter day long ago as we sat in the kitchen/ living room/parlour in the comfort of his small trailer on Dobbie Road. He was referring to the stretch of the Kisumkalum that begins where the river fills Grieve’s Pool then rushes through Webb’s Riffle, slows at the Meat Hole, takes a hard left just downstream of Luncheon Creek, rolls through the Fire Pot, broadens as it glides through Tim’s Run, narrows before plunging into the pool known as the Leaning Cedars, rattles over the boulder strewn riffle then transforms itself into the long, productive reach we call Llewellyn’s Crossing, before increasing in ferocity as it roars through the Jaws of Death, then changes shape once more at Last Chance and Leanto Creek. Only a few of those runs, riffles, and pools had names then, of course. The Fire Pot had one. So did the long run whose tailout was shallow enough to grant his Dad and Gene passage to the far side of the Kalum in search of moose. The Llewellyns had a cabin overlooking the crossing for years. Only the skeletal remains stood when I first made my way there. Now that’s gone too. Gene knew the place before the logging industry did their level best to wreck the river. He knew that place intimately too. He was one of the loggers, but the loggers weren’t the

she’s there – with her teammates and the people she’s bound to meet there. “I was talking to a friend a couple of nights ago and we were thinking that we should go in at a different angle, cause going in there just to win isn’t quite the right way to do it,” she said.

Badminton player Lisa Nicholson, 12, has only been practising for the BC Winter Games – held in Mission Feb. 20 - 23 – for three weeks, but you wouldn’t know it from watching her. “She’s gotten the hang of it really fast,” says her teammate, Sarah Kroeker, 12, who has been participating in badminton for three years. Both girls are excited for overall experience of the games, their first trip without their parents, and the chance to compete against players from around the province. “Being ready and on your feet, thinking ahead of the game at what your next shot could be, having a strat-

egy is really important” when competing at the net, she said. And her coach, Ted Ewald, agrees. Good footwork, anticipation, and the ability to be aggressive are all important traits, he said. “You think it’s a wimpy game, but it’s not when you start getting competitive,” he said. He’s bringing 10 athletes to Mission this week and is anticipating that the team will be competitive against the Kootenay and Prince George zones. In preparation, the team has been practising each Monday as a group, on top of their regular bi-weekly junior club nights which see about 30 members train at the Thornhill Gym.

anglers fishing flies for them at any time of year on any of Skeena’s rivers. Then the majority of flyfishers angled for summer fish on the Bulkley, the Morice, the Kispiox, and the Babine Rivers, and nobody else angled steelhead on the fly over the course of the winter but us. Weather permitting, we did well enough to keep trying. That paradisiacal stretch of the Kalum afforded us the best fishing. We visited it twice a week, and more often than that on holidays, for many years. Over those years the woods started to heal. Because it was a long run from 12 mile and impossible to navigate in the winter, we saw almost no boats. Because it was a 12 kilometre round trip tramp on snow shoes, we saw only handful of dedicated fishermen. Then everything changed. We’d assumed that the wetland at the foot of Pat Roy Road was crown land and would be protected because of its rich habitat values. It wasn’t. Pat owned it and after he left, his wife sold it to a group of Terrace guides who in turn sold it to some rich folks from away – at least I’m assuming this because they built a palatial lodge right in the middle of the swamp and a road to it as well as a bridge across the swamp. Webb and I were stunned when construction began. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans had a policy that declared there would be no net loss of fisheries habitat. Where were they in all of this?

Putting a stop to bullying on PINK SHIRT Kerry Vital / Black Press

Names such as Amanda Todd and Rehtaeh Parsons are sadly well-known to many Canadians. Both teens committed suicide after years of bullying at the hands of classmates. On Feb. 26, Canadians will recognize Pink Shirt Day, a day devoted to preventing bullying and helping children and teens who are being victimized. For some people, bullying hits very close to home. Tad Milmine, now an RCMP constable, is one of them. As a child, Milmine was bullied relentlessly by classmates and locked in the basement by his stepmother every day for 12 years. His father, an alcoholic, never tried to help him, even when Milmine’s stepmother verbally abused him.

“I always held out hope that one day an adult would see that I was in the basement and perhaps ‘rescue’ or ‘save’ me,” he says. “No one ever came.”

At 17, Milmine ran away from home and cut all ties with his father and stepmother. Still, he struggled with being extremely introverted and emotional. While he had dreamed of being a police officer for much of his life, he didn’t feel confident enough to act on that dream. At 33, he finally felt able to take that Tad Milmine step and do what he loved after encouragement from an officer he met while playing baseball.

DAY…

“I never let my sexuality stand in the way of living out a dream,” Milmine says. “I never let the negativity while growing up stand in my way.” Milmine’s presentations are done on his own time and with his own money.

“I never acted on my dream because I truly believed it was just a dream,” he says. “I thought that dreams weren’t meant to be achieved.”

PINK SHIRT DAY

Sixty-four per cent of Canadian children have been bullied at school at some point, according to the Pink Shirt Day campaign, and 40 per cent of Canadian employees are bullied at the workplace on a weekly basis.

You can purchase your own shirt at London Drugs or online. This year’s campaign is being presented by Coast Capital Savings, with Black Press as a media partner.

Milmine was moved by the 2011 suicide of Ontario teen Jamie Hubley, who killed himself after years of bullying for being gay and a figure skater, to start Bullying Ends Here, a website that tells Hubley’s story as well as his own. Milmine has travelled all over Canada and the U.S. speaking to students and encouraging them to contact him if they need help. In the presentations, he shares his own story and that of Hubley, and tells the students that he understands what it’s like to be an outcast, and that he too is gay, just like Hubley. He shares this information to point out that he is no different than the people listening to him in the audience.

A presentation on internet safety is available by contacting Terrace RCMP Constable Angela Rabut.

Be smart and savvy when using the net when you download their apps. Never text while driving. You put your life and the lives of others in danger when you try to read, type, and drive at the same time. Texting and driving is illegal in some countries. An increasing challenge is the rising incidents of self/peer exploitation, commonly referred to as sexting. Self/peer exploitation is generally defined as youth creating, sending or sharing sexual images and/or videos with peers via the Internet and/or electronic devices (i.e. through cell phone messaging, messaging apps, social networking sites, etc.). What should parents know about this issue? Be aware that adolescents do not typically share experiences they are embarrassed or ashamed of with their parents — don’t assume you would know if there was a problem. Youth will make errors in judgment — it is all a part of growing up. When an adolescent does make a mistake, use this as an opportunity for her/him to learn and grow. Encourage her/ him to separate the error in judgment from how s/he defines her/ himself. The circulation of sexual images/videos among peers and their distribution via the Internet can have short- and long-term impacts. The effects will vary according to an adolescent’s personality, temperament, available support systems, and resiliency. Conversations parents need to have with their adolescent: Discuss the difference between healthy relationships (i.e.

loving, respectful, caring) and unhealthy relationships (i.e. manipulative, intimidating, pressuring). Remind your teen that pressure from a boyfriend/girlfriend to engage in sexual conversations or share sexual images/videos does not constitute a caring relationship. Explain the importance of establishing and respecting personal boundaries when using technology. Both the information your teen has shared and the information others have shared with your teen should be protected and handled with respect (i.e. not shared with others). Emphasize that this continues to apply once a relationship has come to an end. Discuss the types of problems that may arise from sharing private and intimate information, including images and videos electronically. Once information is sent, it can be easily misused. This may include the recipient showing it to friends, sending or posting it online, or using it to manipulate the other person, for example, to engage in further sexual activity. Teach your adolescent that it may be illegal for people to manufacture, possess or distribute naked or sexually explicit pictures/ videos of people under 18 years of age. For more information go to www.cybertip.ca. If you would like an Internet safety presentation for your community group or class call Cst. Angela Rabut, Community Policing/Media Relations Terrace RCMP at (250)638-7429.

Renovations underway

THE 11th Safer Internet Day was celebrated worldwide Feb. 11, with this year’s theme: “Let’s create a better Internet together.” In today’s digital world, we rely on our mobile devices more and more to access the Internet, find information, and connect with friends and family. But with this, it becomes critical that we know how to be good digital citizens, how to manage our online reputations, and how to make personal safety a priority on a mobile device. Tips for mobile and Internet safety: Think before you share a thought or photo. Imagine your grandmother, employer, or teacher receiving it. Is what you’re sending suitable for anyone to see? Protect your personal information. When you send email, texts, photos, or instant messages to people who are not trusted friends or family, don’t give out personal information they could use either to find your physical location or to exploit you. Control negativity. Think carefully about whom to communicate with and whom to ignore. Most social media sites let you block people. If you receive abusive or harassing messages online, report the abuse where and when you see it. Download applications only from trusted sources. When downloading software from third parties, be sure it’s only from developers you trust. Read their terms of service and privacy policies to really understand what permissions you’re giving them

Welcome to Chamber Week! On behalf of the Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce we are pleased to have this opportunity to provide an annual update to our membership and community. In May of 2013 at our Annual AGM we selected our new board and I’m pleased to introduce the following volunteers to our board, Janice Shaben, President Janine Kraft, Director Leydi Noble, Vice President Steve Dotto, Director Val Gauvin, Treasurer John Ryan, Director Neil Courtney, Director Loralie Thomson, Director Jay Dilley, Director We continue to host monthly luncheons so that members have the opportunity to network and learn firsthand about the upcoming events and opportunities. We also welcome nonmembers to join us for a chance to see more about what the Chamber is all about, so please feel free to bring a guest! In May 2013 our Vice President, Leydi Noble & our Executive Director, Carol Fielding attended the BC Chamber AGM, this is an annual event that brings together all the Chambers across the province, both staff & volunteers meet to discuss issues they currently are facing and also to participate in the policy debate & approval process. Annually there are hundreds of policies that are passed and these are then composed into a manual that all sitting MLA’s receive a copy of. If you are interested in having a look at these policies they can be found on the BC Chamber website link http://www.bcchamber.org/advocacy/policy.html Also in September, Leydi & Carol attended the Canadian Chamber of Commerce AGM, which was held in Kelowna. This is a rare opportunity as this event is generally held in the mid to eastern parts of Canada. The Terrace Chamber partnered with the Timmins, Sudbury & Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce’s to put forward a policy resolution for “Infrastructure Support for Mining”, and this policy was passed and became part of the policy mandate for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. We had our always successful Business Excellence Awards in November & this year was no exception with over 16 awards being announced in categories ranging from Community Booster to Volunteer of the Year & this event continues to be considered ‘the must attend’ event of the year with a sold out attendance. Plans are underway for our 21th Business Expo to take place April 25 & 26, 2014 (yes we are taking the show to a two day event) at the Terrace Sportsplex, past and new exhibitors are already contacting the Chamber Office to book their spaces - again we continue to increase exposure for our members even more this year than we did last year. The 2014 show package for general sales will be released in early March. The 2013 show was a sold out event, so plan to book early so not to be disappointed. We recently moved so please take note of our new address; our phone number remains the same. #3 4554 Lazelle Ave., Terrace, BC V8G 1S4 Our membership package has many cost saving benefits and business development ideas and it is available to anyone interested in becoming a member of the Chamber. Please call Carol at the office 250-635-2063 for more information. We are always looking to for new Board members if you or somebody you know might be interested, I would encourage you to contact Carol at the office 250-635-2063 for more information. We are looking to fill many business sectors in our 2014/2015 Board of Directors, including health, first nations, retail & the resource sector.

By CAROL FIELDING February 17, 2014, marks the beginning of Chamber of Commerce Week, an opportunity for Chambers of Commerce across British Columbia to showcase their hard work on behalf of business communities across the province. This year, Chambers are celebrating the theme of “Leadership in Action” – a theme which highlights the leadership Chambers bring to their business communities, working hard to enhance B.C. as a business-friendly jurisdiction with strong opportunities for all British Columbians. And this leadership delivers results. Just this month, B.C.’s Chamber network, working in partnership with the B.C. government, was able to deliver a significant win for B.C.’s businesses: key, business-friendly changes to a recycling regulation that had caused concern in business communities across B.C. Thanks to the hard work of Chambers in B.C., working closely with a responsive government, more than 99% of B.C.’s businesses will face no red tape or fees under this recycling regulation, which deals with packaging and printed paper. And that’s just one of many positive changes that the Chamber network has led for B.C. businesses. Among many areas of impact, B.C.’s Chambers have been a key voice: • encouraging balanced budgets at all levels of government; • calling for solutions to B.C.’s skills gap; and • encouraging municipalities to actively support local economic development. As members of the BC Chamber of Commerce, Chambers throughout the province are part of B.C.’s most extensive business policy development process. This process brings B.C. businesses’ innovative ideas and on-the-ground insights to B.C.’s decision makers, and helps shape an ever more business-friendly province. Chamber network policies span from fiscal and tax policy to infrastructure to industry-specific issues. At the local level, Chambers throughout B.C. are catalysts for change, bringing together business and community leaders to figure out how to take each community forward.
