Geothermal exploration starts soon

PLANS FOR a geothermal power plant in the Mount Layton Hot Springs area near Terrace are still in the initial stages, but if the project were to proceed as intended, it could generate enough electricity to power close to 10,000 homes. Exploration on the potential for a 15-megawatt geothermal power plant, through a Kitselas First Nation-led consortium that also includes Enbridge and geothermal exploration company Borealis Inc., is set to begin this spring, confirmed Chris Knight, an advisor for Kitselas. “We want to get the exploration program started this field season,” he said. “It’ll take a year so we want to get going as soon as we can.” The consortium purchased exploration rights for $100,000 from the provincial government earlier this year. The exploration process works in three phases. The first is “a series of biochemical analyses, data gathering, modelling, some work that doesn’t require much in the way of surface impact,” he said. The process then moves onto a series of slim-hole drilling initiatives, and if that proves viable, the third phase would be the drilling of a small number of production wells “to determine in full detail the carrying capacity of the resource and its ability to support what we’ve initially targeted as a 15-megawatt geothermal power plant.” A 15-megawatt plant would have a small surface footprint, while still producing a decent amount of electricity, Knight explained. “We wanted it to be modest in terms of size, and we wanted it to be of a size that would lend itself to consideration by the BC Hydro standing offer program,” he said. That program involves independent power projects selling power to BC Hydro. Aside from selling electricity to BC Hydro, the plant would generate nearly 30 megawatts of thermal energy as a byproduct to be used for commercial and industrial purposes, said Knight. “This is heat that could potentially heat greenhouses or provide primary fibre breakdown,” he said. “There’s kind of two dimensions to this – it’s the economic benefit of producing electricity but there’s also potential associated with the heat byproduct that comes from the production of that electricity.” That all adds up to it making “good business sense as a standalone project,” said Knight. The project was a Kitselas initiative, he said. “Kitselas has known about the surface anomaly of the geothermal resource for generations, it was used very extensively in historic times by the Kitselas First Nation so Kitselas has always known that there’s a potential there,” he said. “With the move towards a requirement and a desire for renewable energy, particularly in the northwest ... Kitselas thought it was time to move ahead with it and took the project to both Enbridge renewables and Borealis,” he said.

Second work camp planned A SECOND worker accommodation camp has been proposed for the area, this one on property within the city’s Skeena Industrial Development Park located just south of the airport. The planned location is on land at the park just sold by the city to the Kitselas First Nation’s Kitselas Development Corporation. Falcon Camp Services from Prince George would build a 200-400 person camp for workers on the Pacific Trails Pipeline that would carry natural gas to the planned Kitimat LNG (liquefied natural gas) plant at Kitimat. Overall, the companies estimate that as many as 1,500 workers would be needed to build the pipeline. Both the pipeline and plant projects
are equally owned by Chevron and Apache. “Falcon Camp Services will provide the camp structures and will operate and manage the camp …. ,” said city planner David Block last week. On Monday, city council conducted the first readings of an amendment to the Official Community Plan and zoning bylaw necessary to allow such a development on land within the city limits. Kitimat LNG does have environmental and regulatory approvals to start construction but an investment decision by its owners has yet to be made although one is expected later this year. Apache has, however, said it wants to sell some of its ownership position
because of engineering and design costs which this year could reach $1 billion even without an investment decision being made. Estimates range to more than $6 billion to build the pipeline and LNG plant with the pipeline coming in at $1.5 billion of that amount. The Kitimat LNG plant could export as much as five million tonnes of LNG a year. Earlier this month, a proposal surfaced by the PTI Group of Edmonton that could see it also build worker accommodation within the regional district boundaries. It would be on land located on the right hand side of Hwy37 South if traveling south to Kitimat leading toward the intersection of the highway and Churchill Drive.

Impaired driving tally soars RCMP OFFICERS have been catching more impaired drivers than ever before, a consequence, they believe, of a population rise tied to the increase in industrial activity. From Jan. 1 until mid-March, officers have issued 20 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibitions, more than double for the same period the year before with the majority coming from drivers on the highway between Terrace and Kitimat. Three Administrative Driving Prohibitions were also issued. The prohibitions are issued if a driver’s blood alcohol level is over 0.100 blood alcohol content (BAC) at the time of the vehicle stop. Half of the vehicle stops took place during daylight hours when the highest number of vehicles are on the road, said Const. Philip Crack of West Pacific Region Traffic Services, commonly called the highway patrol. “A lot of the impaired drivers that have been caught during the

plus shots. The body can only eliminate alcohol at a fixed rate, and even if you sleep or eat, it doesn’t speed up the process.” Crack, who worked in Fort St. John once, said he has seen the combination of industrial activity and an increase in disposable income before. Crack noted there
have also been 12 threeday Immediate Roadside Prohibitions and two seven-day prohibitions in the first two months in 2014. The numbers for the same time frame in 2013 were eight 90-day immediate prohibitions and two 3-day prohibitions. The consequences of being convicted of im-
paired driving are steep, warned Crack. “You could face a driving prohibition, monetary penalty, or even jail time. As well, if you get in a collision while impaired, it will render your insurance invalid,” he said. Crack urged anyone noticing a suspected impaired driver to call 911.

The BC Government is now off-loading our recycling decisions to Toronto.
Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal. How do you like that, British Columbia? This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose first responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profits. That can’t be a good thing for BC. The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, and costs BC homeowners just
$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its first priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC. It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries. Yikes! Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.
What’s going on here?

How wood is used could be key to acceptance of large projects
By JOSH MASSEY
W
hile it has been pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into the area’s economy, BC Hydro probably didn’t calculate the impression left by the burning of piles of wood along the right-of-way of its 344 kilometrelong Northwest Transmission Line. And with pipeline companies now planning to clear several thousand kilometres of their own right-of-way to supply natural gas to planned liquefied natural gas plants, the goal of securing broad public acceptance of major industrial projects, might rest with how to better deal with the wood that will be cut. “It’s public knowledge that there was lots of merchantable timber that was simply burned,” says Dan Schweng, operations director for Nass Area Enterprises, the business arm of the Nisga’a Nation in the Nass Valley, which received a BC Hydro contract to clear a 20-kilometre stretch of the 344 kilometre-long transmission line. “Everyone experienced their own version of wasted wood,” he said of First Nations companies who had direct award clearing contracts with BC Hydro. Schweng estimates the Nisga’a company sent 40,000 cubic metres to market, but he still rues the inability to manage large quantities of wood burned because it was too costly to remove. “Half the time you are working between a swamp and a 60 degree side slope,” he said. “And you don’t want to be the guy going ‘I need more time because I need to separate these logs and put them here’ when you have 60 pieces of machinery bearing down on you.” With different planning, he said, “green logging” operations on future rights-of-way might result in more wood being sent to mills. “Maybe with the luxury of time to plan a guy could give it some creative thought. I think if we had more time in advance we could have placed more time planning areas that had marginal economics.” Terrace-based forestry consultant Rick Brouwer wants pipeline and other energy companies to view the wood along rights-of-way not as an obstacle but instead as an important resource that must be handled diligently. “Sometimes they don’t get the advice to think to consider it,” says Brouwer. “I don’t think BC Hydro was thinking ‘bugger that, I’m going to burn the wood’, I think they just never got the advice. They take their social licence very seriously, too.” Brouwer believes that with some planning, money allocated for stacking and burning wood could be used instead for piling it at specific locations for logging

contractors to pick up. “On the NTL [Northwest Transmission Line], they should have looked at the mechanisms. They could have been up on Highway 37 and said ‘hey we’ve got wood’ and gone to Skeena Sawmills or Kitwanga or Smithers and said ‘hey what will you pay for it’, and they could have said ‘we’ll take it at the roadside and we’ll pay two bucks a metre for it’ because they had to burn it anyway.” Schweng acknowledged the fine line between profit and the greater good for the environment and society, saying a balance must be struck. And he said profit margins were tight along the transmission line route to begin with. “All those contractors were working on the NTL with no margins, and there was not a dollar to be conceded by the contractors. BC Hydro did a very good job getting the best price out of all of us.” The planning overseen by BC Hydro was based on typical forestry cutblocks and should have focused more on the realities of rightof-way clearing, said Schweng. “The approach they took on a technical planning level was the same approach a forester would take when doing conventional logging, which doesn’t work. A cut block is one big thing...but on a right-of-way you are clearing something and logging in a little tiny ribbon the size of your driveway,” he said . The reality is that the energy companies cutting rights-of-way would have to pay higher rates to subsidize the responsible care for the timber resource, he said. “We are all going to have to go
through the same thing next year or the year after. And we’re all going to say why did all that good wood get burned.” The reasons for the burning of timber and other woody debris along the NTL route were complex. BC Hydro said some wood was of poor quality and that saleable wood was burned because it was uneconomical to haul out of secluded areas. “In the first year of clearing, much of the material harvested was either poor quality, the market desire for the timber was low or the distances were such that it would have actually cost contractors to transport it to market or processing facilities,” said BC Hydro representative Lesley Wood of work done in 2012. By the second year, however, contractors managed to bring more to market after Skeena Sawmills was re-opened after a multi-year closure. According to Brouwer, energy company executives in Calgary planning pipelines to the coast may not be aware of what they can do to save wood and not burn it. While the width of pipeline and other rights-of-way is between 15-50 metres, the total area when combined with the length comprises a significant area. Taken at an average of 30 metres, Enbridge’s planned Northern Gateway pipeline, which would run 1,177 kilometres, would take up approximately 3,516 hectares. This is equivalent to 176 average sized forestry cut blocks. In reality the total right-of-way will be wider than that, when the permanent and temporary work space requirements are considered.
“Our proposed right-of-way is on average 25 metres of temporary workspace and 25 metres permanent right-of-way. An additional 10 per cent of permanent right-of-way will be used as extra temporary work space for storage of pipe and equipment,” said Enbridge communications manager Ivan Giesbrecht. Enbridge’s strategy for managing timber is contained in a salvage plan submitted along with its environmental application. Not all timber is fit for harvest and companies choose routes that pass over land that has already been disturbed by other industrial activity or choose to cross agricultural land. Still, a significant quantity of wood exists along the pipeline routes. On the NTL, 495,000 cubic metres of merchantable deciduous and coniferous wood was cleared. By late last year, clearing operations for the 463-kilometre Pacific Trails Pipeline project, which would carry natural gas to the planned Chevron/Apache Kitimat LNG plant, had already brought in 455 logging truck loads to Skeena Sawmills in Terrace and North Coast Log Handling Ltd. in Kitimat, totalling 19,100 cubic metres. Hardy Friedrich from the provincial government’s oil and gas commission said small cutting permits for tree and vegetation removal related to investigation of proposed routes have been completed for Spectra’s 850-kilometre Westcoast Connector and TransCanada’s 750-kilometre Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project, both of which are for planned LNG plants in Prince Rupert; as well as for Trans Canada’s 650-kilometre
Coastal GasLink project which would feed the Canada LNG plant at Kitimat. Spectra Energy has been working at figuring out its right-of-way plans with company official Franca Petrucci telling the Fort St. James council just last month that it plans to work with logging companies along the route of its line. Brouwer said these companies need to understand the forest type changes and the logistics of distance. “A pipeline going through a coastal forest is going through a forest with 800 cubic metres per hectare whereas a pipeline going through an interior forest is going through a forest with 350 cubic metres per hectare. They don’t know they are dealing with twice the amount of debris,” he said. Also, the distance logging companies are willing to travel to pick up wood varies with market conditions. Right now a bio-energy company probably wouldn’t go farther than 100-200 kilometres to collect their wood. And a timber company wouldn’t go farther than 200 to 300 kilometres to collect at roadside, said Brouwer. With multiple pipelines under consideration and after seeing the NTL clearing done along Hwy37 North near his home community, Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine director for Telegraph Creek David Brocklebank thinks shared corridors make sense. “Why disturb so much of the landscape environmentally, habitat, all the rest, when they are all coming from a common general area. Why so scattered?” Brocklebank wonders.

On stage DOING anything the next couple of weeks? More than 1,500 people are with the 49th annual Pacific Northwest Music Festival beginning tomorrow and continuing until April 12. School buses and private vehicles will be making their way to Terrace from around the region as competitors display their piano, vocal, string, woodwinds, speech arts, dance, band, choral and Orff classroom music talents under the watchful eyes of 11 adjudicators. Those performing seek to exhibit the results of months of preparation and practice. Best of all for those attending is that admission to the three venues – The REM Lee Theatre, the Knox United Church and the Evangelical Free Church – is free, save for the April 11 scholarship performance evening and the concluding gala performance on April 12, both of which are being held at the REM Lee Theatre. Although the competition portions are free, it does cost to put on the music festival and donations are always cheerfully accepted. Of particular note is Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5 at the REM Lee. That’s when northwest school concert and jazz bands perform. To quote William Shakespeare: “If music be the food of love, play on.” Festival programs are available at Sight and Sound on Keith Ave. or Misty River Books on Lazelle. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Governments need to address housing
T
o automatically expect that everyone living in a big house should take in someone in need of affordable housing is unrealistic. Otherwise my street alone could house half a dozen homeless individuals if we chose to provide them with living accommodations at the risk of upsetting our lives. We have heat, water, and electricity, beds, laundry equipment, fully functioning kitchens. Our driveways could park another vehicle. Our yards have space for kids to play, fences to keep them safe. Both transit and school buses stop nearby. Stories of homeless squeezed out by exorbitant rental rates and dwindling affordable rental spaces are disturbing. I want to reach out to every unfortunate I learn about. But what regrets might I face? Homelessness doesn’t guarantee good manners or adherence to rules. Based on limited personal experience but ample tales told by those who have regretted throwing open their doors, I hesitate to make such a foolhardy gesture. I’ve heard accounts of rowdy

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI individuals, kids who walk on furniture and bounce on beds, break faucets, plug plumbing, play ear-splitting music to all hours, never tidy behind themselves, leave the house in shambles, litter the yard and perturb neighbours. They might appreciate little, demand more. Admitting ingrates can lead to months of friction and household disruption, culminating in going to court and paying expensive lawyers to oust them. Sharing a home with incompatible people is akin to toughing it out in a mother-in-law’s home. What guarantee could I have someone would respect
my wishes and property, (some don’t even respect their own property!), not rifle my belongings or steal while I’m gone? What if they left my gate open and my dogs out to be run over or mess neighbours’ driveways? Either scenario would be upsetting and bring hefty fines. Suppose they helped themselves to my vehicle? Carol Sabo at the Ksan Transition House encourages families – those already homeless or about to become homeless – to fill out a BC Housing application (available off the internet or from an agency) and have their need verified by an agency. This would place them on a BC Housing vacancy list. Unfortunately, vacancies anywhere in the province are scarce, and moving to a distant vacancy would necessitate changing schools and doctors and leaving behind family and friends. Luckily, “Poverty is not a lifetime sentence for those who work hard and never give up.” As examples, American actor Tyler Perry lived for months in his car, working at a menial day job, at the same time writing one failed movie
S TANDARD
script after another before he sold one. Today he creates and acts in his own movies, making millions. And at age 16, Canadian actor-comedian Jim Carrey and his Newmarket, Ontario family lived in their vehicle. His father worked as a janitor; Carrey helped him after classes each day. Now acting in a single movie earns Carrey $20 million. We’ve all worked long and hard to acquire our homes and deserve serenity in our senior years. Just because we may live alone at the moment is no reason to expect us to provide lodging for any homeless individual or family. I’ll admit the prospect of congenial company and ready backup in case of a medical emergency sounds tempting, only the tradeoff might not be worth the aggravation. We pay the taxes we are assessed. It is up to governments to plan and budget to provide living accommodation for those squeezed out by resource bonanzas. Victoria touts the tax revenues to be gained from LNG and an oil pipeline, yet it has failed to foresee the many social disruptions both projects are creating.

The Mail Bag No rush for oil and gas
FILE PHOTO
ED CURELL examines a newspaper page on microfilm in this photo from 2007.
Retired librarian remembered Dear Sir: It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Ed Curell. As the Local History Librarian at Terrace Public Library in 2012, I recall that much of the work we were able to accomplish was due to the efforts that Ed and dedicated citizens undertook to preserve the living narrative of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. Even in retirement,
Ed was an enthusiastic and dedicated library colleague whose insight and encouragement were greatly appreciated by myself and those interested in preserving local history. His contributions to keeping the stories of the Pacific Northwest alive will be felt for decades to come. I take comfort in knowing that in this, his legacy joins those of those who came before, tying
threads, both old and new, together into the living banner saga of the Northwest. I express my deepest condolences to Wendy and all those who knew Ed. Owen Hewitt, Ottawa, Ontario Dear Sir: Victor Edward (Ed) Curell served as a director of Terrace & District Museum Society (the entity that operates
Heritage Park Museum) from 2010 to 2014. He freely volunteered his time and energy, and helped provide guidance and insight into the governing of the park. He had a particularly useful knowledge of technological innovation and was keenly interested in cultural programming. Throughout his life, Ed was committed to making Terrace a more inclusive and engaged
community. We deeply regret his untimely passing while on travels in Indonesia: his quiet humour, positive outlook and enthusiasm will be missed. Grant Piffer President, Terrace & District Museum Society Kelsey Wiebe, Curator, Heritage Park Museum, Terrace, B.C.
Dear Sir: It is unfortunate and logically incorrect for critics of Northern Gateway or LNG proposals to be labelled “hypocrites” if they drive a vehicle or heat their homes with natural gas (e.g., letter to the editor in the March 5, 2014 The Terrace Standard). It is precisely because we use those resources, and they are essentially non-renewable, that we should develop them prudently for our use (at reasonable prices) and for the sake of future generations. Conversely, if we export them offshore as quickly as possible to maximize profits in the short run, our fuel prices are certain to rise and our children and grandchildren will have fewer options in terms of resource development and industrial expansion. If we leave it in the ground, oil and gas is only going to be more valuable in the future, so what is the rush? Those who tout the so-called “need” to export (or bemoan a so-called “loss” of profits if we don’t) are truly the disingenuous ones. Phil Burton, Terrace, B.C.
Picture this .... Dear Sir: Normally of course I am reassured by the full page Enbridge ads featuring Janet Holder, knowing that she and her team are on the case for all of us. But lately there have been ads that have been somehow different. I noticed that the “pictures” of Dr. Ed Owens and Chris Anderson were not photos, but instead, seemed like either a charcoal drawing of one of those plaster busts that one might see in a museum or a court room artist’s pencil sketch. Anyway, after thinking about it further, I’m sure that Janet’s PR team just didn’t have time to get real photos to the newspaper by the deadline. Malcolm Graham, Terrace, B.C.
Gov’t between a rock and an LNG hard place
W
hen it comes to the much trumpeted new industry in the Northwest and its glacial progress towards becoming a reality, I have this image stuck in my head of premier Christy Clark, decked out in a Snow White costume, plaintively singing “Someday my prince will come.” As in the liquefied natural gas prince. It is understandable if she feels a wee bit melancholic given the extravagant promises she made prior to the last election. But I will give her and her government credit for finally facing facts on LNG as in absolutely no mention of the fictional X plants by year Y in the Throne Speech this year and finance minister Mike de Jong not including in his budget speech any LNG Prosperity Fund money in his three-year revenue forecast. De Jong went further in talking to reporters after the speech by saying he did not expect any LNG tax revenue to be rolling in
during the next five years. He is right on the money – or lack thereof – in saying that. That’s because none of the projects have yet been greenlighted by proponents and even when they are, it will be four – three at the most optimistic – years before any LNG flows from the new plants. Granted, on that construction time scale it is theoretically possible one plant could be up and running in 2018 – a year earlier than de Jong has factored in. But that would require what’s called a Final Investment Decision (FID) being made almost immediately. And that ain’t gonna happen. The reason is that the proponents need to have certainty on what their costs and revenues will be before making a positive FID decision – these companies are not about to spend billions of dollars on a wish and a prayer. The curious thing is the provincial government is not exactly helping them achieve that certainty on the costs side.
GUEST COMMENT
MALCOLM BAXTER Which takes me back to the budget speech in which the government’s proposed LNG export tax regime was unveiled. It has a two tier structure which will see a 1.5 per cent tax applied in the early years, then up to 7 per cent for the rest of the lifetime of the plants. Except it is not that simple. The 1.5 per cent will apply to the revenue less expenses and
those expenses include the capital cost of constructing the plant. And the 7 per cent may not actually be that – see the words “up to” above – and even if it is, it won’t really be because the companies can deduct the total of 1.5 per cent tax they have already paid from the higher rate. In reading the government’s budget backgrounder #3 on the proposed tax, I noticed that the list of expenditures that would be regarded as capital costs did not include either the pipeline to deliver the natural gas to the LNG plant or the gas-fired power plant needed to liquefy that natural gas. So I sought clarification from the finance ministry as to whether they did count as capital costs or not. They said they’d get back to me. Three weeks later there has been no answer. In the interval I came up with another question: the scenario offered in the backgrounder assumed the companies would “fully deduct” their capital costs “by the end of year four,” year one being the start of production.
I asked whether the companies had to fully deduct in that time span or whether they could choose to drag it out, which would make total sense to me - as in delaying the higher tax rate as long as possible. I did get a reply to that one but unfortunately it was contradictory and then ended with “these are some of the details that will become more apparent and specific when the legislation is introduced.” So nothing has really been decided? I do not see much certainty in any of this. And that will remain the case until the government brings down legislation for the tax, now postponed again until the fall. That there is a fall sitting of the legislature, something that has not always been the case, may speak to the urgency of the situation. But in fairness to the government, it is not the elephant in the room. More on that next time. Retired Kitimat Northern Sentinel editor Malcolm Baxter now lives in Terrace, B.C.

MP Cullen has new job as NDP finance critic SKEENA - Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen is taking on a new challenge, moving from his job as house leader of the NDP official opposition in Ottawa to finance critic as part of a series of shifts made by official opposition leader Tom Mulcair last week. “I’m thrilled that someone from a northern and rural riding is going to be a big part of the financial conversation at the national level ... I’m looking forward to the challenge. I think this discussion is going to be a huge part of the NDP forming government in a year-and-ahalf,” Cullen said, not-
Nathan Cullen ing the new position is a lot more high profile than his current one. Cullen takes over the position from Toronto MP Peggy Nash and will be criticizing the
work of newly-appointed finance minister Joe Oliver, who has taken over the role after Jim Flaherty resigned last week following eight years in the position. Cullen said he is looking forward to holding Oliver to account and will be bringing his own background into the debate. “He comes from Bay Street as a former executive at Merrill Lynch ... I get my roots from Main Street and the small business sector, which I think is really the backbone of the economy,” he said, adding he will continue to work for the people of the riding. “[Finance] is a big
conversation ... at the end of the day, one of my top priorities is making sure the Northwest gets noticed. My goal is to make sure the voice of this region is heard.” Replacing Cullen is another BC MP, Peter Julian. He represents the riding of Burnaby New Westminster. The shift comes with another change for Cullen – he’ll be losing the $39,800 yearly salary that came with being the house leader for the official opposition in addition to his Member of Parliament salary. It’s now $160,200, an amount that is scheduled to rise April 1.
Another LNG player surfaces ANOTHER LNG company has surfaced and this time it is named after a fish. Steelhead LNG announced last week it has appointed a former provincial Liberal attorney-general to sit on its board of directors. Geoff Plant, now a corporate lawyer, will help the company build up its experience as it looks at the natural gas industry and the potential for exporting liquefied natural gas, says Steelhead CEO Nigel Kuzemko. The company has yet to secure a location or other key assets.
“We’re not a one-site company,” Kuzemko said. “What we do is we’re looking at more than one site up and down the west coast.” He also couldn’t confirm the size of any potential LNG projects they’d build as it would be about “making the numbers work.” “We looked to identify sites, form partnerships with either the land owners or the local community or First Nations and develop the site, and pull everything together so there’s an opportunity for an LNG plant to be constructed and that takes quite
awhile to do obviously,” he said. Getting pipeline developed to service the plant is also another aspect that will need time. It could take up to five years just to complete the permitting phase of any development. The company said in an earlier news release they’d be attending Gastech in South Korea, a natural gas con-
ference. Meanwhile Kuzemko, while not himself Canadian, does take note that the company is based in Canada — head office is in Vancouver — and the company has a staff that is mostly Canadian. The company draws its financing from Canadian sources. (With files from The Northern Sentinel in Kitimat.)

Probe continues into power line death FULL work has resumed on BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line but a WorkSafeBC investigation continues after the March 15 death of a worker on the project. The worker was in a man bucket suspended about 85 feet above the ground by a mobile crane at one of the transmission line towers when it hit a boom and he was thrown out, WorkSafeBC reported at the time. A second worker in the bucket – the two were putting conductors in place on the tower at the time – was not injured. The deceased worker had 15 years experience and was employed by McGregor Construction 2000 of Edmonton which has been contracted by Valard, the prime company on the project. Valard also has headquarters in Edmonton. Valard president Adam Budzinski said work was immediately shut down on the entire project with some activity resuming the next day in consultation with WorkSafeBC. The accident took place approximately 50 kilometres north of Terrace on the southern end of the project which stretches 344 kilometres north of Terrace to Bob Quinn on Hwy37 North. Workers on the south end of the project were rotated out earlier than originally scheduled, said Budzinski. “The piece of equipment involved in the fatality is not being used. It is being inspected as part of the investigation into the fatality,” he said. A fund has been set up in support of the deceased
worker’s family and many people are contributing, Budzinski added. He and McGregor officials were on a plane from Edmonton, traveling to Terrace immediately after being informed of the accident. “The team as a whole here in Terrace has done an excellent job of rallying around McGregor and McGregor’s people,” said Budzinski. “This has been the loss of a coworker that has been with the company for 15 years. “I’m extremely proud of McGregor. It’s a smaller company and is tight knit. It’s been a tough time for everyone.” Both Valard and McGregor are owned by Quanta Services, a Houston, Texas-based major power services company. BC Hydro executive vice president Greg Reimer expressed condolences on behalf of the crown corporation. “BC Hydro will work with the contractor to cooperate fully with investigation by WorkSafeBC and we will continue to offer any other support and assistance we can to the contractor and their employees,” he said in a statement released March 17. Being installed for the 287 kilovolt line are 1,100 towers to carry 2,100 kilometres of conductor wire to both provide electricity to projects in the north and to feed power generated by hydro-electric projects into the provincial grid. The project, which had been increasing in cost, is now scheduled to come in at $736 million. A $10 million contingency is in place.

towers at locations ranging from earth to bedrock. It’s the second time in a month that a tower has fallen over. In this second incident, the issue was a failure of temporary hardware on one of the tower’s guy lines used to secure the tower. Work is later done to ensure the tower is plumbed and it its final state. Valard and BC Hydro are continuing their probe into the most recent incident. “I can tell you that in these two incidents, none of the structures were in their final [installation] state,” said Valard president Adam Budzinski. “The permanent hardware did not fail and has not failed. The rate of failure for the permanent hardware is zero. “We’ve identified one further location on the project where the incident could be repeated and have eliminated that possibility,” he said. “The important thing is that no one was injured in either incident.”

NORTHWEST TRANSMISSION LINE Snowmobiler and Winter Recreation Users Public Safety Notice Snowmobilers and winter recreationalists (cross country skiers, snow shoers, etc.) should be aware that the Northwest Transmission Line (NTL) is under construction, and the NTL right-of-way remains a construction zone with restricted access. This is required to avoid safety risks associated with such things as unmarked guy lines, construction materials and other potential hazards along the right-of-way, as well as for public and worker safety as construction activities continue. In particular, over the past year many of the transmission structures for the NTL project have been installed. Most of these structures are supported by currently unmarked guy lines which can be very difficult to see against a snow background. Please avoid using the right-of-way for your activities. If you are in the area, take extra care when travelling in the vicinity of the transmission structures. If you have any questions, please contact BC Hydro stakeholder engagement: 1 866 647 3334 or send an email to stakeholderengagement@bchydro.com

BC HYDRO restored power to residents of Stewart and Meziadin last week after a tower on the unfinished Northwest Transmission Line fell over and struck a tower on the transmission line that serves them. BC Hydro brought crews up from Vancouver to deal with the incident which took place late in the evening of March 18. The location, in a remote area approximately 140 kilometres north of Terrace, meant crews had to first construct access. Power was restored the evening of March 20. BC Hydro official Simi Heer said that people affected by the outage, which would include those who had food spoiled, can submit claims. BC Hydro is investigating the cause of the Northwest Transmission Line tower collapse. The $736 million project, which stretches from Terrace north to Bob Quinn on Hwy37 North, is 344 kilometres long and features more than 1,130

Community continues to help sick girl WITH YOUNG Hailey Pettit expected to be in hospital for leukemia treatment for another six to eight months, family, friends and even people who don’t know her are helping out. Hailey has begun her fifth round of chemotherapy. She, and her mom Sherry, have been at BC Children’s Hospital since January 5 when she was diagnosed with Burkitt’s Leukemia. Team Hailey t-shirts are on sale at her school, Thornhill Primary, where a fun day is also being planned and a dance with a live band is also in the planning stages. Students sent valentines to her last month. Ecole Mountainview students who heard about Hailey held a fundraising dance and are collecting pledges until April 3 – the student who raises the most money gets to shave the head of teacher Eric Gearey. And it doesn’t matter that the
students don’t know her. “You can feel good that you can help her get better and help her to live a longer life,” said Ecole Mountainview Grade 4 student Ethan Campbell. He filled up one pledge sheet, raising $146 so far, and is looking to get many more names and donations. Donation jars are set up at businesses around town and a Team Hailey account is collecting donations at the Northern Savings Credit Union. There’s an ongoing bottle drive with several bins full of empties at her dad Ted Pettit’s place.

Local Toastmasters’ veteran wins two contests A LOCAL Toastmasters veteran cleaned up at the recent international and evaluation competitions. Tim Thomas, who’s been in Toastmasters for 18 years, won the area International Speech Contest and the Evaluation Competition here March 15. The International Speech contest builds from the club level all the way to the Toastmasters International convention. Thomas has previously won the club level competition and with his area win, he will go on to the division competition April 12 in Prince George. A win there would send him to the district contest in Vancouver, and another win means a trip to the convention in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The area contest results are below.

I
’ve been extraordinarily fortunate the past 12 months. Until October 2013, I’d only ever been out of Canada twice in my life (both times, pre-passport days). This year I’ve been to London, just returned from southern California, and have plans for a Hawaii or Mexico trip. And I do love to holiday just for the sake of a holiday—a break, a specifically set apart time to rest, relax, and play. It’s not just the pure sloth I enjoy, however. I think seeing new landscapes and terrains, experiencing different climates and cultures, and meeting people who come from different places than you is valuable. Having lived in a small town my whole life, the exposure to huge groups of people in one place is thought provoking, and I think it was beneficial for our young nieces who were with us, too. There are so many different types of jobs and opportunities in larger centres. It opens your eyes to possibilities for work, for art, for exploring. It’s a big world! I’m an adventurous eater but even so, various regions have their types of food—stuff habitually eaten because it’s grown or produced there, or readily available because of the mixed backgrounds of people living in an area. Terrace offers high quality, quite diverse foods, but funnily enough, though California is West Coast too, it’s far enough south that some of the food was different than I’d ever had before. Yay! And I could go on and on about the beauty, inspiration and wonder to be found in exploring a different geographical place. I was awed by the crazy
JUST A THOUGHT
EV BISHOP
Have passport, will travel abundance of flowering plants that grow as perennials—well, not even perennials. They don’t die down; they grow perpetually, like our trees do. People have cactus beds in California, the same way we plant flower ones . . . yet daffodils and “spring blooms” flourish there, too. And the ocean, the ocean, the ocean! I adored the sun, sand and surf. Did you know that the Pacific can be warm and welcoming to swim in during March? It was wild fun, literally, to be playing in the waves and suddenly see dolphins not 50 feet away—or have a line of eight or so pelicans swoop along just beyond our heads.
Visiting other places also helps adjust any preconceived notions you might have. Stereotypes about “Americans” have long driven me crazy because the U.S. is so huge, with so many people, that it’s ridiculous to me that anyone would colour the whole, extremely diverse, country with one brush—but I won’t rail away long. Let me just say, with one exception, where we think my big, brawny husband might’ve scared the pants off a guy fishing off Newport Pier when he approached him after dusk, and asked jovially, “What are you fishing for?” everyone was incredibly nice, extremely polite, genuinely-itseemed interested in chatting and getting to know us a bit—before and after they knew we were tourists. People are people wherever you go, and we all have more in common than we usually think. And that’s a wonderful lesson to have reinforced from time to time. I’m not pretending that my holidays thus far—or those hopefully in the future—were taken with any loftier goal than to have some fun, but for me, the best fun occurs when I feel I learned something too. And even if the takeaways are simple things like I really enjoy authentic Mexican food, it’s weird that plane seats are smaller and less safe feeling than the seats on Disneyland rides, the population of the state of California is greater than the population of the whole country of Canada, or that Grey Whales go down to Mexico to have their babies, and then make their way up the coast (yup, they pass us too) to Alaska . . . well, those are great observations to experience first hand.

The model year 2014 is already in full swing for Chevrolet as it rolls its products into the Vancouver International Auto Show. Many of the new and revamped products are already in dealerships so let’s take a look at what’s especially notable for this year. Cruze Diesel The popular selling compact from Chevrolet, the Cruz, now comes in an even more efficient setup: the Cruze Diesel. While the diesel model was
launched last summer, it bears a 2014 designation. Under its hood is a 2.0L turbo-diesel that packs in 151 horsepower and 264 lb.-ft torque. Yes, it has that much torque and is most impressive. According to the Chevrolet, it has a 0-96 km/h (60 mph) performance of 8.6 seconds, “which is better than the Volkswagen Jetta TDI automatic and competitive with German diesel cars that dominate the North American market.” In addition to that, it receives an estimated fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km on the highway and 7.5L/100km in the city.

Chevy rolls into town with shiny new wheels While the Cruze diesel had already been available in Europe, the proven engine needed to be adapted to North American emissions ratings. It comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission and 376.6L trunk space. It has an MSRP of $24,945 plus $1,550 destination freight charge. Impala Chevrolet’s flagship sedan is all new for the 2014 model year. Released in 2013, this five-passenger vehicle can certainly hold its own in a segment whose competitors are getting stronger and stronger.

DAVE MERRITT from Terrace Home Hardware Builder Centre, left, chats with PR Associates president Robert Simpson at a March 20 reception.
Company opens office ANOTHER sign of increasing economic activity in the area occurred last week with the opening of an office here by the Vancouverbased publications firm PR Associates. Although the company, which bills itself as the country’s largest natural resources public relations firm, has been doing business in the northwest for 10 years, company president Robert Simpson told the audience at a reception March 20 here that it was time to open an office in Terrace. “Our clients said you have to have a presence in Terrace and represent us on the ground,” said Simpson. PR Associates has a client list that in-
cludes Seabridge Gold, which is advancing its KSM gold property near Stewart, Avanti Mining, which wants to open a molybdenum mine at Kitsault, and the Tahltan Nation Development Corporation, which is the economic development arm of the Tahltan Nation. The company has hired Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski to be its local account manager. Kitselas elder Edward Innes greeted those who attended the reception, which was held at the Skeena Golf and Country Club. “Your skin is a different colour than mine, but our blood is the same colour,” said Innes.
The 2013 model year brought forth an all-new Malibu. That said, not much has changed for 2014, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t get a few enhancements. For example, there’s now a fuel-saving start-stop technology added to the standard model, rear knee room improved by 1.25 inches (31.7 mm) and chassis and suspension developments enhance drive experience. That’s on top off the overhauled Malibu, on the inside and out. Camaro Z/28 For those diehard track day fans who have been waiting for an even more performance inspired Camaro, the wait is over. Almost. For 2014, the Z/28 makes its debut.
‘‘
Chevrolet has certainly listened to their customers and in the Impala; it has given drivers a vehicle that has flair, as well as potency.
’’
Alexandra Straub
All 2014 Camaro models feature a revised exterior design that integrates high-performance aerodynamics for more efficient cooling and stability at high speeds. However, the new Camaro Z/28 adds features like a full aerodynamics
package that creates downforce at speed, which helps make it the most track-capable offering in Camaro’s history. Alongside its aerodynamic prowess, under its hood is a mechanical wonder. Its 7.0L, LS7 V8 hand-assembled engine was co-developed with Corvette Racing to make it as potent as possible. Its monster engine produces an estimated 500 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. With those figures on paper, don’t expect amazing fuel results! And just like it takes an experienced driver to put it through its paces, your bank account will most likely need to be seasoned, too! It has an MSRP of $77,400. If you get to the show, all the GM brands, including Chevrolet, are well-represented. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca
Confessions of a Curber My next vehicle came from a used car wholesaler*. There was nothing wrong with it, but he couldn’t find a dealer who wanted it. I gladly took it off his hands. How hip was I? I had a new source of newer vehicles that would come right to me. “Two-year-old car for sale. No previous accident history reported, only 35,000km on it. Call with offer.” Shortly after, I got a call from a young man. His car had just broken down, and he needed a new one fast. He agreed to meet me at the local construction site where he worked. He was just finishing up his lunch when I arrived. He was wearing his construction uniform and I immediately noticed his tired eyes. I felt bad for the poor fellow, and I was glad that I was selling him a reliable vehicle. He didn’t need another headache on top of everything. I even knocked $500 off the price I wanted. It was a smooth transaction. The guyy looke looked edd hhappy and thanked me immensely ely forr all the help. I beamed back at him. Around 5:00 a.m. the next morning, I got a call. It was the construction ructioon worker, yelling so loudly that I could barely ely uunderstand him. “THEY TOOK IT AWAY,” ” he said over and over again. “REPOSSESSED!” !” I hung up on him and triedd to make sense of the situation. Why would the ld th he car be taken away in the middle of the he night? n Who’s “they”? Liens. Of course. The car ha had ad a lien on it. That’s why it wouldn’t sell ell on a lot. The bank must have seized it due to an unpaid balance. As before, I panicked. I didn’t idnn’t want to get involved in this right now. w. Sure, S I sold him the car, but how was I supposed seed to know it had
a lien on it? I realized the wholesaler* had scammed me! If that fellow had asked for a CarProof history report or even a provincial lien search, I’d be the one screaming. Over the next several hours, I kept letting my phone go to voicemail – I couldn’t bear speaking to the young man. I knew I had to switch phones again. I felt a bit ashamed. But I needed to be selfish about this. At this point, the best thing for me was cash. And lots of it. *Wholesaler – Vehicle sellers may call themselves auto brokers or wholesalers to sound legitimate and cheaper. But if they’re selling to private buyers, they must be licensed as a dealer. Like any curber - an individual posing as a private seller but selling vehicles as a business – wholesalers and brokers offer none of the protection the law provides for purchases from a Vehicle Sales Authority licensed dealer. Walt learned that lesson, sson, but his buyer paid the price.
“They took it away,” he said over and over gain. “REPOSSESSED!” again.

Local company divides up its two functions A NORTHWEST restoration and construction company based in Terrace is dividing up its two functions. The restoration arm of Technicon, which also operates in Kitimat and Prince Rupert, is now a franchise of Winmar, a nationally-known company specializing in restoration and reconstruction. Andrew Contumelias, one of four principals with the new Winmar franchise, said the division will make it easier for overall operations. “Technicon can now concentrate on construction,” he said,
adding that the company has added plumbing and electrical services in an effort to build up a one-stop construction company. “You’re going to see a lot of new home construction,” Contumelias added of construction activity this year. Technicon and Winmar will also be moving from Lazelle Ave. offices to a building Technicon already owns on South Kalum. “Eventually, we will [physically] separate. We’re slowly transitioning and it’s going to take time,” said Contumelias.
Of the 40 Technicon employees on staff, approximately 10 will come under the Winmar brand. Technicon’s roots go back to 1998 when it was known as Sanitech. The name changed to Technicon in 2007. Winmar in Terrace has three other principals in addition to Contumelias – Daniel Contumelias, Brandon VanGenne and Clint Dalla Vecchia. Andrew Contumelias, Daniel Contumelias and VanGenne are ownership partners in Technicon.

Recycling business secures contract THE COMPANY charged with running a new provincial recycling program has hired a local contractor to operate its processing facility here. Do Your Part will stop its own residential pickup service in midMay and transform its operation to process material through MultiMaterial BC (MMBC), a company established to broaden consumer recycling throughout B.C. thanks to provincial legislation. The residential material will be delivered by the City of Terrace through a separate contract it has with MMBC. “All of the material will come through my doors, and we will do a quick pull out of contaminants and anything that has to be processed separately and then bail it,” said Do Your Part owner Kasey Lewis who has been operating here since 2006. Lewis said she will be revamping her Thornhill station, purchasing new bailers and building a large covered area to store paper, plastic, glass and other materials. The bailed recycling material will be shipped to Prince George periodically in trucks already being used by major retailers here to ship recyclables. Lewis said processing all of Terrace’s residential recycling will require more hours from her current staff and possibly the hiring of more workers. Do Your Part’s new recycling role officially begins May 19 when City of Terrace workers will start picking up residential recycling material once every two weeks through its own contract with MMBC. Regular garbage will be picked up on the off weeks. Mayor Dave Pernarowksi said it’s a big step. “It’s good in a couple ways because it keeps waste out of our landfills and will in the long run save the community money. The recycling program is being funded through MMBC. We can get it running with very little upfront cost to the city,” he said. The program will not be without immediate cost to residents. While the city will give out
20 plastic bags to every household, residents will have to buy their own when they run out. The shift by the province to the wide-ranging MMBC program is under heavy criticism
elsewhere in the province where recycling is more established. The overall costs are to be born by producers of packaging products but critics say consumers will ultimately pay
more for products. “The public is largely unaware of the money that will come out of their pocket and ultimately go back to manufacturers,” said Corinne Atwood, exec-
utive director of the BC Bottle and Recycling Depot Association. Unlike existing depositrefund systems in B.C. on cans or electronics, which are subject to audits and transparent
reporting, Atwood said MMBC can do what it wishes with the revenue it will collect from producers. “It’s a licence to print money,” she said. The MMBC pro-
gram is being opposed by a number of business groups, including the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspapers Association, of which The Terrace Standard is a member.

RELAY FOR LIFE - THE IMPACT OF YOUR DOLLAR IN NORTHERN BC When I donate to Relay For Life, where does the money go? The money that is donated to Relay For Life goes to the Canadian Cancer Society and supports our organization in funding critical cancer research, compassionate cancer support programs and leading cancer prevention initiatives. Does the money stay in my community? The money raised through events like Relay For Life goes to the Canadian Cancer Society and our organization uses the funds to support a variety of initiatives and programs across BC, including in Northern BC. Our cancer lodges, like Kordyban Lodge in Prince George (celebrating its 1st Anniversary), our transportation program in partnership with the Grand Lodge of the Freemasons of BC, and our peer support program CancerConnection are three examples of programs in your community that rely on generous donors and events like Relay For Life.

WHY WE RELAY
The Canadian Cancer Society, celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year, is a national community based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer. The Society funds research on ALL cancers, generating new knowledge on prevention, early detection treatment, quality of life and end of life care. Today, over 60% of Canadian diagnosed with cancer will survive. In the 1940s, when we started funding research, survival was about 25%. The Society enhances the quality of life for people living with cancer and on March 4, the Society opened the Kordyban Lodge to individuals and their caregivers travelling to Prince George for cancer treatment. The Lodge provides shared accommodation, three meals a day in a clean and caring environment. It has been heard to say “it is your home away from home”. The Society takes an active role in prevention through advocacy (nicotine replacement therapies available at no cost) and awareness programs (Tan Free Grad Challenge, encouraging students to fight back against skin cancer). The money raised during Relay For Life helps to support the Canadian Cancer Society in all it sustains, but it is not just a fundraiser. It’s an event that brings communities together to celebrate lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved who have fought or are fighting the disease and empower individuals to fight back against cancer. Register today and join the ordinary heroes who are making a difference in this battle against cancer.

Future of city debated bcclassified.com LAST WEEK'S community forum on housing underscored the need for regular opportunities for Terrace and area residents to discuss the implications of future development with stakeholders and officials. That's because although there were a number of pointed questions asked about land-use and the current housing squeeze – the forum's designated issue – audience members veered off topic to touch on subjects like social services, hospitals, and the myriad impacts future industrial work camps might have on the town throughout the two-hour event. “This is the first of many, many future discussions,” said Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin, who moderated the March 19 forum, which was attended by more than 30 people. The event was largely organized by city councillor Stacey Tyers, acting in her capacity as a poverty law and housing advocate, and a similar forum had been held the previous night in Kitimat. Realtor Rick McDaniel, landlord Dani Lavoie, and the city of Terrace's director of development services David Block rounded off the panel. “I'm hearing people tell me this town is going to double in size in the next seven to 10 years, and that's after the construction camps go away,” said McDaniel, noting despite planned housing developments there won't be enough houses in Terrace for many years. He, along with other panel members, advocated for con-

Many of these individuals come in, these large camps come in with three and four and five thousand people, but what's in place with the problems that that brings in?”

Florence Nightingale May Schulmeister May 12, 1931 – March 13, 2014 It is with great sadness that we had to say goodbye to an amazing Mother, Grandmother, GreatGrandmother, Sister, Sister-in Law, Aunt, Cousin and Friend. Florence was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1931 where she lived until she was six. From there she moved to the lower mainland in BC. In 1956 Florence moved up north to Kitimat, where she met the love of her life Leo Schulmeister. (Florence was predeceased by her husband Jacob Leopold Schulmeister.) Florence spent the remaining years of her life up north, eventually moving to Terrace where she and Leo raised their seven children. She was an active member of the Happy Gang Centre for many years and enjoyed working in the kitchen, singing in the glee club, playing cards and creating memories with great friends. She leaves behind to cherish her memory her brother Jock (Margaret), her sister Joyce and her brother-inlaw Brian. Her seven children, Christopher, Richard, Stephen, Joyce (Roland), Paul (Rhonda), Thomas (Pat), David (Rae). Her grandchildren Scott, Tanis (Steve), Samantha, Kirby, Miranda, and Ryan. Her great grandchildren Tanner, Brooklyn, Kody, Leo, Cooper, and Stryker. And her many nieces and nephews and great nieces and great nephews. Florence was predeceased by her brother Noel (Doreen) and her sister Bea, her brother-in-law Paul, her daughter-in-law Rachel and her granddaughter Roberta. Our family would like to thank the staff at McConnell Estates, Northern Health Home and Community Care, and the Mills Memorial Hospital for their support and care in the recent months. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Terrace Street Cat Rescue. Always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts. You will be missed.
Mamie Eva Emily Kerby August 17, 1922- February 25, 2014
Mamie died peacefully on February 25th, 2014 after a short illness. Born in Langenberg, Saskatchewan, to Chris and Eva Haugland, at the age of two Mamie moved with her family to Terrace in January, 1925. She attended Kitsumkalum School, graduating with Grade 12 in 1940. This was followed by a teaching position in a one-room school at Remo. In 1942, she married the love of her life, Frederick James Kerby, a handsome young man who arrived in Terrace with a strong work ethic and a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Music was very important in Mamie’s life. She took music lessons from a variety of teachers, including Janet Felber, travelling down to Prince Rupert by train to take her Royal Toronto Conservancy exams. Music was always present in her home, social life, and entertainment. After her family was raised, Mamie returned to teaching until the call of preserving Terrace’s history took her on a journey that included establishing the Terrace Regional Museum (Historical) Society, spear-heading construction of Heritage Park Museum with its original log buildings, acting as volunteer museum director for 16 years, and working with the Society to publish several historical books, hold major community heritage events, and construct the large gazebo at Terraceview Lodge. Mamie’s sense of community and willingness to promote and preserve the historical values of the Terrace region allowed her to be very successful at convincing others to participate in her many projects. Mamie was always interested in others and was dearly loved by her many friends and her large extended family. She was predeceased by Fred, her husband of 64 years, her daughter, Judith, and her granddaughter, Janette. She is survived by her sons, Robert (Judith) and Eric (Wanda), and daughters, Norma and Eva (Gary); grandchildren Rebecca (Walter), Rachael (Grant), Joseph (Anie), Lillie (Tom), James (Allison), Solveig, Douglas, Kenney, Matthew (Jen), Soren, Benjamin (Liza), Adam (Jocelyn), Alexander, Christopher (Andrea), Brent, and Laura (Devon); and 17 great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank the staff of Terraceview Lodge and Northern Health Home Support Services for their kind assistance during Mamie’s brief illness. Donations can be made in Mamie’s name towards a Grade 12 History scholarship to: Northwest Education 88 Foundation, 3211Kenney Street,Terrace, B.C., V8G 3E9.

Midgets grab gold at provincials THE TERRACE Midget Rep Kermodes stayed disciplined for the length of last week’s Tier 3 provincial tournament – and it paid off with gold. Terrace’s most senior minor hockey team came home with gold last weekend after beating Alberni Valley 4 – 1 in the championship final in 100 Mile House last week. The team went 7 – 0 for the tournament, outscoring their opponents 60 – 4 over the course of the five days. But high scores didn’t mean they could relax – especially with a dedicated coaching and support staff making them stay on track. “We’re treating every game with the same amount of focus as the last,” said coach Dave Jephson last week, noting the coaching staff was working the team hard to make sure they weren’t falling into bad habits. “We always tell them there are 18 kids on the team and 18 kids need to contribute.” The team lodged together and participated in team building exercises throughout the day to prepare for their games and keep them on track. The March 21 final against Alberni Valley was an evenly paced, high tempo game that saw the game tied at one at the end of the first period.
Terrace took the lead late in the second to end the period 2 – 1, and fended off a determined Alberni team to score two more in the third for the 4 – 1 final. Shots on goal were 31-28. Aside from the provincial banner, the team was also awarded the Fair Play Award. To get to the final, they beat South Okanagan 6 – 1 in the semi-final March 20, and took games against Castlegar (16 – 1), 100 Mile House (14 – 0), Alberni Valley (6 – 1), Dawson Creek (9 – 0), and North Delta (5 – 0) throughout the tournament. The Midgets weren’t the only Terrace team competing at provincials last week. The Bantams had an impressive showing at Tier 3 provincials in West Kelowna, finishing third after winning 8 – 3 over Sunshine Coast March 20. After going undefeated in the round robin, the team faced a heartbreaking 3 –2 overtime loss to Dawson Creek in the semi-finals. Dawson Creek would go on to take first place, with a 2 – 0 win over Quesnel. And the Terrace Midget Female Reps had a spell of bad luck at their provincial tournament in Salmon Arm, with some players falling ill.

Terrace River Kings take silver at Coy Cup History was made two weekends ago at the CIHL’s Coy Cup, with the Terrace River Kings making it into the final against the defending champs and tournament hosts the Williams Lake Stampeders. It was a packed house at Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex for the March 15 2014 Senior Male AA ‘Coy Cup’ BC Hockey Championship final that ultimately saw Williams Lake prevail for the second year in a row with a 6 – 2 win over the River Kings. Williams Lake’s Nathan Zurak, who played through the tournament with a broken hand, recorded a hat trick in Saturday night’s win and was named player of the game. Stamps’ goaltender Justin Foote held down the fort, turning aside 25 of 27 shots. Providing the rest of the Stampeders’ scoring were defenceman Brent McIsaac, Mike Simoes and Stu Sasges. For the River Kings, assistant captain Josh Murray found
the twine, before Corey Dekelvar added a single tally midway through the third. The Terrace River Kings made it to the final after tying the Stamps in their first game of the tournament 2 – 2 on March 11, goals by captain Steve Cullis and Murray. They then went on to defeat the Fort Nelson Yeti 5 – 3, with the five goals spread between Ben Reinbolt, Derick Jurista, Tristan Murray, Nick Homeniuk and Corey Dekelvar. And on Wednesday, the River Kings earned a bye to the final against Williams Lake after beating the Smithers Steelheads in overtime 5 – 4 with their goalie pulled to finish the red robin with two wins and one tie. For Terrace, Garrett Muir received the CIHL’s top Goalie award with Josh Murray taking the CIHL MVP award. With files from Greg Sabatino, Williams Lake Tribune.

Terrace teams come close at provincial championships The young team ultimately placed fourth in the round robin series, with their final game against the hometeam, Salmon Arm Silvertips, a game they won 4 – 2, despite being down three players. Terrace started off the tournament
with a 6 – 4 win against Surrey. Shots on goal were Terrace 20 and Surrey 36. After a close game against North Island, which Terrace won 3 – 2, the team suffered their first loss of the tournament to Richmond 3 –1. They
then went on to beat Kamloops 4 – 1 but fell to Cranbrook 4 – 2 the next day. Both the Bantams and the Midget Females stopped in 100 Mile House on their way home to watch the Midget Reps’ championship game.

ispiox Guide, Gene Allen, tells of the time he led a party of two down that fabled river and had to go through the ordeal of releasing two bleeding steelhead. Those fish may have survived, but fish can’t afford to lose too much blood before they expire. Gene figures those fish were doomed, and any experienced steelheader would concur. Bleeding steelhead are not common among bait fishers, a rare occurrence among float fisherman and lure casters, and almost unheard of among fly fishers. Mortally wounding two fish in one outing is extraordinary. Gene’s clients were using two fisted fly rods. Almost everyone who fishes steelhead these days does. Long two handed rods have made it possible to cover more river than single handed poles. They have also made it possible to cast really large flies, many of which are half a foot long with short shanked trailing hooks dangling past their butt end. These were the kind of flies Gene’s sports were fishing, and those flies were the problem. When a steelhead takes a waking or dead drifted fly in the surface film, it does so in a head and tail rise identical to that of a trout taking a drifting mayfly dun, or in the kind of slashing rise a trout makes to intercept rapidly emerging caddis pupa. I have caught many steelhead that way over the years and those I managed to bring to

The right hook
flies I see in tackle shops are giant lures with trailing hooks extending one or more inches past the tail of the fly. When steelhead clamp down on these contraptions that nasty little trailing hook is ideally positioned to nick the fish’s gill filaments and cause a fatal wound. If you use this style of fly you are endangering fish. Traditional steelhead flies still work well. Because they are small, they are less wind resistant and, therefore, easier to cast, and, because they are built on smaller, shorter hooks, they will not inflict lethal wounds. So, here, for the sake of fish conservation, are some indigenous Skeena patterns that keep catching fish for me. Hugh’s Blue: Use black thread to tie in a body of brilliant blue tinsel behind black ostrich in equal proportions with stiff barred rock (grizzly) hackle palmered through the ostrich. Wind two or three turns of pheasant rump dyed black in front. Dress this on a 1 or 2x long #4 or #6 hook. Summer Muddler: Tie a strip of mottled turkey quill at the bend of a #6, 2x long hook. Wind a body of prismatic gold tinsel. Tie a tuft of webby red hackle for a throat. In front of a wing consisting of orange squirrel, buck tail, or bear hair under turkey quill, spin a bulbous head of deer hair. With these simple patterns, fished on top or near the bottom, you will hook all the steelhead you need without causing a single one to bleed. Trust me.

Getting up and active with PAL Spring is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and start getting active. Introducing regular physical activity into your life is an important first step towards better health, a happier mindset, and more. The whole family will benefit from increased activity and getting on the road to a healthier lifestyle. There are so many known benefits to physical activity and an active lifestyle. Among them are a reduced risk of heart disease, premature death and stroke. Being active has also been proven to help improve self-esteem and confidence, help you sleep better, increase your energy and reduce depression, among many other things. Furthermore, it helps maintain functional independence, mobility, and bone health. For many of us, it can be quite daunting to take that first step towards an active lifestyle. And it can be more challenging to start something new without any help. The good news is residents of BC have access to a free physical activity counselling service called the Physical Activity Line (PAL). Through a phone call or online, qualified exercise professionals are available to provide exercise and physical activity advice and help you develop a customized physical activity plan for every member of the family, from children to older adults. When it comes to physical activity, more is better. To achieve the health benefits, it is important to try and progress towards the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, which recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day for children and youth and 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity each week for adults. Adults and older adults should also add muscle- and bone-
strengthening activities that work the major muscle groups at least twice a week to help with balance and prevent falls for those with mobility impairments. Physical activity doesn’t have to mean playing a sport or going to the gym. Playing a family game of tag, going for a swim or taking a walk outside with the family pet or to the store to get groceries count towards the physical activity recommendations. Try out something new; you may find your new favourite activity! In any case, you’re bound to have some fun and feel like a happier and healthier you. The Physical Activity Line is available Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m in the Lower Mainland, toll-free at 1-877-725-1149. For more information, visit www.physicalactivityline.com or email info@physicalactivity.com.

“Northern Gateway is taking extraordinary measures to ensure marine safety—reducing tanker speeds on British Columbia’s north coast is just one.” - Chris Anderson, Master Mariner, Lead Marine Advisor, Northern Gateway Project
Chris Anderson is a Master Mariner and port planning and operations specialist. He has substantial experience in the assessment and development of many terminal facilities on the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific Coasts of Canada.
Northern Gateway has proposed tanker-related safety measures designed to maintain safe vessel transportation. These measures, together with lower tanker transit speeds in the coastal channels, not only reduce the risk of marine incidents, they also minimize potential adverse effects on the marine mammal environment. ACTING ON EXPERT ADVICE Northern Gateway has consulted with many of the top experts in Canada and the world, including Chris Anderson who, as a Master Mariner and seafarer, has over 50 years of experience including the development of port and terminal facilities in British Columbia’s coastal waters and internationally. Acting on the advice of a team of experts, Northern Gateway committed to a vessel transit speed range from 8 to 12 knots. Anderson says, “Reducing vessel transit speeds through a confined channel to within this range allows improved response from our escort tugs, substantially reducing the risk of a navigational incident, while maintaining safe vessel operation.”
initiatives that was put forward by Northern Gateway. As Anderson puts it, “Project-related vessels are capable of speeds of 15 to 16 knots. Many other oceangoing vessels can travel at even higher speeds. Northern Gateway is committed to reducing vessel speeds by as much as half that as an added measure of prevention.” GOING EVEN FURTHER TO ENSURE MARINE SAFETY In addition to reducing tanker speeds, Northern Gateway has committed to the use of two escort tugs for every loaded tanker associated with the Project, with one tug being tethered at all times. According to Anderson, “In the event of a mechanical issue, the tethered escort tugs can take over steering and braking which greatly reduces the risk of an incident occurring. This commitment will also help protect British Columbia’s north coast.”
BEYOND WHAT’S REQUIRED The commitment to reducing transit speeds is not a regulatory requirement, but one of many voluntary marine safety
ENDORSED AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS The Joint Review Panel’s endorsement of the Northern Gateway Project came after a rigorous, scientific review of the evidence, including Gateway’s precautionary approach to vessel speeds and escort tug standards. Northern Gateway is working hard to meet all of the final conditions set out by the Panel, the same way they are working to meet the five conditions set out by the Province of British Columbia. Northern Gateway is committed to doing everything possible in order to build a safer, better project.

Geothermal project a Kitselas initiative “We initiated the dialogue with the provincial government in order to get the exploration tenure out the door.” In the northwest, Enbridge is mostly known as the company which wishes to build the controversial Northern Gateway pipeline. This geothermal project “has nothing to do with Northern Gateway,” said Knight. “It’s unfortunate in some respects that Northern Gateway has produced the attitudes out there that it has, but in the perspective of a renewable energy project, they would be a good partner respective of the Northern Gateway project,” he said. “They’ve got experience, they’ve got the financial resources, they particularly have experience in geothermal, which all adds up to positive consideration of them as a player in this project.” Senior Enbridge official Janet Holder, who is in charge of the Northern Gateway project, said people in B.C. identify Enbridge as an oil-pipeline company, but they have been operating in B.C. in the natural gas area for 20 years.
“I can understand maybe some of the suspicions,” she said, of those who might question Enbridge’s motivations behind this geothermal project. “You don’t think of us as being anything other than an oil pipeline company, but we are much bigger than an oil pipeline company.” It makes sense for Enbridge to look for renewable opportunities in British Columbia, she said, as that is what the company does all over North America. “We’ve got renewable opportunities as far east as Quebec, obviously Alberta, we’ve got them south of the border, so wherever we work as a business, whether that be natural gas, oil, or renewables, we have a team of people that’s their job to really look at opportunities,” she said. If the exploration process is successful, the outfit will still need to go through the environmental assessment phase. Area stakeholders, including First Nations, the city of Terrace, the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine and local property owners, are to be kept informed as exploration unfolds.
