Agency abandons housing project A LOCAL social services agency has abandoned plans to build lower cost housing on city-owned land. The Ksan House Society had wanted to build 20 two and three bedroom units on city-owned vacant property on Haugland on the Southside, near its Hall St. emergency shelter, but couldn’t come to a suitable financial arrangement, says society executive director Carol Sabo. The society had wanted to lease the land at a low rate. Its concept would have seen 12 housing units rented out at standard provinciallysubsidized rates for low income earners and eight rented out at rates designated as affordable for annual family incomes up to a maximum of $64,000. But Sabo said the city would only offer in-kind assistance for a project for only low income earners, not for others earning higher levels. “Stressed was the fact that in-kind would only be available if the project was strictly for low-income, they were not able to provide anything toward affordable housing,” said Sabo. Sabo retooled her proposal, seeking to meet this requirement, but it didn’t work. “A guarantee of the housing being available to only those making less than $25,000 per year resulted in the same response,” said Sabo of her unsuccessful negotiation. “The property would not be available to us for a nominal lease. It was only available on purchase.” Sabo then estimated buying the property would add $10,000 to the projected per-unit cost of $90,000, too rich for the Ksan House Society’s bare bones budget. As it is, the budget for placing modularstyle housing units on concrete slab called for extensive volunteer and other contribu-

tions in. “Given the city is not willing to provide the property, we feel it would be a waste of time to apply to BC Housing at this time,” said Sabo of asking the provincial government’s housing arm for assistance. “As can be imagined we are very disappointed but we will hope that given enough new construction in Terrace, some of the lower end housing will become vacant and that those units will be in, at the least, reasonable shape,” she said. Mayor Dave Pernarowski said the city is in negotiations with a number of developers who want land for mixed income housing similar to the Ksan concept. “I just recently gave out [Sabo’s] name and that project concept to a large corporation that was looking for opportunities to sponsor and contribute to the community,” said Pernarowski. “We have lots of good opportunity now to see affordable housing being developed through this building season and certainly that piece of property remains a good location.” The city has formally put another of its parcels on the market that it considers ideal for housing. The approximately 2.4 acres on the corner of Kenney and Park was estimated to be worth $408,000, an appraiser’s report commissioned by the city stated in February. The city now says a minimum offer of $450,000 is required. It is also keeping to its policy of selling certain lands for housing only if there is an affordability component included. “The city reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to accept or reject any or all offers on any grounds it considers appropriate and the highest offer will not necessarily be accepted,” reads a city notice published last week.
Feds dispute claim By ANNA KILLEN
A FEDERAL decision to fight a ruling stating the Kitselas First Nation is owed compensation for a land transaction dating back to 1891 is baffling, says a lawyer hired by the Kitselas. “I don’t know what their motivation is,” said Stan
Ashcroft following two days in federal appeal court last week in which the federal government opposed a favourable ruling by the Specific Claims Tribunal. The tribunal, set up in 2008 to hear cases involving First Nations claims on specific pieces of land, found that a 10.5 acre parcel

of land on the Skeena River, containing a former village site and now known as Lot 113 and privately owned, was wrongly excluded from the original Kitselas reserve allotment in 1891. A Hudson Bay Company warehouse was built on the site.

THIS WAS the scene just minutes after a massive windstorm felled trees on and around a school bus April 7 on Bornite Mountain Road east of Terrace. Underneath is Nick Karol who used his body to shield a seven-year-old girl.
Man called hero for saving girl By ANNA KILLEN NICK KAROL, who shielded a seven-yearold girl last week from falling trees and hydro wires, is resisting being called a hero. “The kid is safe, that’s the only issue here,” Karol said. “I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Trees are coming down, get the kids out of there.” In the late afternoon of April 7, Karol, 31, a steelhead fishing guide, was fixing his truck with a friend at a residence on Bornite Mountain Road – in the Kleanza Creek area east of Terrace – when a high wind storm began swaying and knocking down trees. As the winds grew more intense, a school bus carrying 14 students arrived, dropping off several who live in the area. Because a tree had already fallen across the road, the students were let off further away from their regular stop. As Karol and his friend walked toward the small group to help them get around the fallen tree, strong gusts of wind began to tear at trees still standing. Trees began pulsating and the soil from the roots as the trees began to lift, so he began
Nick Karol yelling at the students to run. “I was like, ‘Oh God, I have to get those kids out of the road,’” he said. “Then the wind gusted again and the trees just started cracking and crashing down. All of the older kids ran right into the forest but there was two girls ... I told the one girl, run into the forest, and the other girl just curled up into a ball and started screaming right in the middle of the road as the trees were coming down. So I picked up the girl in my arms, and I stepped like two steps then I got hit by the trees and I just held the trees off of her as they came crashing down on us.” While keeping the girl tucked underneath him, he rolled back and forth dodging falling trees. “It was like day-
light was almost gone (because of the falling trees),” Karol said. “I just braced... It was deadly.” Once he could tell that the trees had stopped falling he began peeling off debris and hydro wires – the wires weren’t live because a nearby transformer had been knocked out earlier. “It all just happened so fast, I was in shock,” Karol said. “The whole forest fell on us, like, right on the children.” Terrace RCMP Constable Shane Nicoll said the maze of fallen trees, one of which landed on the school bus, resembled a “war zone” and described Karol’s quick actions as “an unbelievable act of heroism.” The Terrace RCMP detachment itself is looking for a way to recognize his act of bravery. Karol is recovering from upper body and right arm injuries. “I’m not a hero, I just did... I did my job,” he said. “I’m a sailor, I’ve spent a lot of time doing safety courses. I’m always the safety guy.” Karol’s truck was crushed when a tree fell on it and isn’t worth fixing. A tree also fell on his friend’s new truck, he said.

MARTHA JOSEPH, seen in this 2001 photo, went on several walking journeys to promote the cause of residential school survivors. She passed away in Terrace on April 7.
Residential school survivor passes away By MARGARET SPEIRS A WOMAN who was a true survivor, having gone through 12 years at a residential school, and who walked across the country to raise awareness about the damage done by those institutions has died. Martha Joseph, 76, passed away April 7. Joseph walked from Kelowna to Ottawa in 2005 to raise awareness about the residential school legacy and generate support for a formal apology from the federal government, suitable compensation, treatment public education and a monument for residential school survivors. She did a similar walk from Prince Rupert to Prince George in 2001. Joseph, born and raised in Kispiox, spent 12 years in the Port Alberni Residential School where she said she was physically, sexually, and mentally abused and lost her native Gitxsan language during that time. When she got out of the
school, she was 16 and came to Terrace. Her first job was at the Terrace Inn and how she came upon it was a story in itself. She was sitting in the lobby for a long time and when a clerk asked her why, she told him she had nowhere to go. He asked if she wanted a job and she said sure. Joseph’s companion of the past two years, Jeremy Thompson, spoke about Joseph’s character last week. “People that went into residential school and survived it are living legends in reality,” said Thompson. Thompson met her at the All Nations Centre on Sparks Street. I sat right in front of her and said ‘Hi, how are you,’” he said. “She said, ‘Aren’t you an interesting face. where did you come from?’” They started talking and she told him about her arts and crafts. Thompson then left town to go to Prince Rupert for a time but when he returned, he had her

phone number in his pocket and ended up going to her place. When he first went to her place, Joseph grabbed a full rack of clothes and told him to try them on to see if they fit. “She talked mostly about the wildlife, moreso than the bikers who gave her sandwiches and $100 bills along the way,” said Thompson of stories Joseph would tell of her walking journeys. Joseph asked him to stay to be a companion and look after her and he agreed. “So we became best friends,” Thompson said. “Mostly I was drawn in to her wisdom and I knew she had lots to teach and so she was more my teacher,” he said. Bruno Belanger from Gemma’s described Joseph as a “great lady, always smiling.” She made dreamcatchers, blankets and dresses for resale by Belanger at his store. A service for Joseph was held earlier this week at the Salvation Army chapel.

Feds in court to fight Kitselas ruling The Specific Claims Tribunal made its decision last year and the April 7-8 court dates last week followed the federal government decision to appeal the finding. This is the first time the government has appealed a tribunal decision. The Specific Claims Tribunal was formed as an independent body of the federal government and the government sought the opinion of the Assembly of First Nations prior to its establishment. It is not part of the more sweeping negotiations involving comprehensive claims which lead to treaties being signed by First Nations and governments. Although the intent of the tribunal was to quicken the settling of specific claims, that doesn’t seem to be happening, said Ashcroft. And First Nations expected the tribunal to have a level of standing that would put its findings above easy appeal. “It seemed like, when the specific claims tribunal was set up, that there was going to be more reconciliation,” said Ashcroft. “That’s what it says in the act and that’s what was said in parliament but they are seeming to be taking the exactly opposite position.” Not only will this be the first time the federal court of appeal rules on a decision by the specific claims tribunal, but it will be the first time

that it rules on whether monetary compensation is owed by the federal government to First Nations for lands that were not set aside for First Nations reserves. This will have implications for other First Nations’ claims settlements, said Ashcroft, as many other claims decisions are depen-
dent upon the Kitselas case. “They recently had a decision of the Specific Claims Tribunal which is dependent upon this appeal, and there are many other lawyers whose clients are dependent upon this because the reserve creation process took place over a very long period of time. [In] 1871 it started
and lands weren’t conveyed until 1938,” he said. One crucial claims case in the interior of B.C. involves the Williams Lake First Nation which this March received a favourable ruling from the tribunal that it is owed compensation for what is now downtown Williams Lake.
That ruling is also being appealed by the federal government and Williams Lake First Nations representatives were at the Kitselas appeal hearing to show their support. “There was a lot of lands that were requested, which is the same as Williams Lake, that were turned down. And
that’s what this case turns upon,” said Ashcroft. For its part, the federal government is arguing that it should not be obligated to provide financial compensation for lands the government wrongly chose to exclude from original reserve allotments and that if there is an obligation, it should be shared with the province. If court rules that the fiduciary duty for compensation should be shared with the province, Ashcroft said that could mean First Nations won’t receive half of the money. And it could mean more delays in an already drawn out process. Kitselas chief Joe Bevan said in a statement that at stake is “the hope of the Kitselas people and First Nations across Canada that there can be a fair and timely resolution to specific claims ... Kitselas is standing for all First Nations in our right to finally have our claims settled. “When the Harper government challenges the decision of its own tribunal, it challenges its very relationship with First Nations people,” said Bevan. The judges sitting on the Specific Claims Tribunal have reserved their decision. Ashcroft says he imagines it could take three to six months. Federal government representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
Tahltan bar miners from reserve lands By JOSH MASSEY A MINING company has been banned from entering Tahltan Nation communities in northern B.C. without first asking for permission from leaders. The company, Fortune Minerals, said it agrees with the proposition and will be asking permission to enter reserve lands in the future, though the area where they are proposing their coal mine is located in Tahltan traditional territory and not on reserve land. Iskut and Tahltan bands have both passed resolutions demanding that mining company Fortune Minerals does not enter their reserve lands without consent from leadership, said the Tahltan Central Council in a news release March 31. Fortune is proposing building an open-pit coal mine on Mount Klappan and there has been strong opposition for years. The area is also near the headwaters of
three major rivers and cherished by First Nations and others for its symbolic importance. Videos mailed out to Tahltan residents present the Arctos project in a positive light and show president Robin Goad apologizing for the previous situation in 2006 when Tahltan elders were charged and arrested for civil disobedience during a blockade. According to company official Troy Nazarewicz, this was part and parcel with the environmental application which they have been trying to get together but were blocked from doing last September by Tahltan and protestors. “We are also going to request advice on how best to communicate to their citizens and receive their input,” said Troy Nazarewicz. “We respect their direction for us to request permission to access the land. “We do need to go back in to complete the field work
that we didn’t complete last year,” he added. Currently a governmental committee is attempting to work out an agreement on potentially protecting all or some of the Klappan and some sort of announcement was supposed to be made in March. There is still no word from the government. According to an environment ministry spokesperson, “the province and the Tahltan have not reached agreement on the future of the Klappan but continue to have productive discussions through the technical working group as part of the strategic initiative.” The Tahltan press release indicates solid opposition to the project. “Tahltan people have asked their leadership to oppose Fortune’s Arctos Anthracite Project coal mine proposal. Our people spent last year protecting the land while Fortune tried to drill in the area, and yet still they try
to promote the Arctos Anthracite Project within our communities. That’s why these Band Council Resolutions have been passed. If they are not respected, bylaws which make it illegal for Fortune to enter the reserves will be considered.” Nazarewicz said that “we are committed to the responsible development of Arctos which includes transparent open consultation with the aboriginal groups and want to ensure that any potential impact on aboriginal rights are identified and mitigated.” The action came after reports of Fortune staff knocking on doors to promote the Arctos Anthracite Project, according to the Tahltan release, which also mentions the distribution of videos by Fortune Minerals. The Fortune Minerals project would be located in a critically important area of Mount Klappan that requires long-term management and protection to preserve cultural and ecological values,
continued the release. The area, also known as the Sacred Headwaters, is a traditional hunting ground and feeds three of the region’s major salmon-bearing rivers – the Skeena, Stikine and Nass. “Our people have been clear for years that proper management and protection of the Klappan area is needed, and that they will not support the Arctos Anthracite Project,” said chief councillor Marie Quock of the Iskut Band. “The company’s efforts to lobby our people have only hardened their resolve and opposition,” said Quock of the situation. “We expect Fortune Minerals to respect this decision of Iskut Band Council and not come on our reserve lands without prior approval from Council.” “The Tahltan Band rejects these bush-league tactics by Fortune Minerals,” said Tahltan Band chief councillor Rick McLean.
“Our message to them is blunt – get serious, recognize that this project should not go ahead in this critically important part of our territory, and get out of the Klappan.” McPhee added: “For years the Tahltan Central Council has made it clear to the province of British Columbia and companies, that it is ready to partner on sustainable development in Tahltan territory. “We have a proven track record of collaborative success – including the Northwest Transmission Line and AltaGas projects within Tahltan territory. “At the same time, we have been clear in carrying forward the message of the Tahltan people that further expansion of mining in our territory requires the protection of the Sacred Headwaters, and that if the area is not protected, it could have consequences for other projects and opportunities across Tahltan territory.”

EDITORIAL Paramedics THE SOUND of sirens punctuating the air of downtown Terrace around lunchtime April 7 had to stand as a comfort to those who rely on the area’s various emergency services. Called to the airport when a Hawkair flight bound for Vancouver had to turn around because of a mechanical issue, paramedics in a fleet of ambulances and accompanied by RCMP vehicles fire trucks were ready to respond if needed. But the emergency medical services situation in smaller locations such as Stewart to the north and on Haida Gwaii is less than comforting where there is an overreliance on an increasingly short supply of parttime paramedics and drivers. At an on-call rate of $2 an hour, a part-time paramedic is more correctly a volunteer who, for the most part, has a regular full-time job elsewhere to put food on the family table. Juggling the commitment to community service with a full-time job can be difficult if not impossible and that’s contributed to the challenge of maintaining adequate ambulance service in small and remote locations. Add to this the ongoing training that’s required of part-time personnel on their own time and on their own dime, it’s no wonder service is suffering. This is not a new situation and it’s perplexing that it’s been allowed to continue for years. It’s way past time for the provincial health ministry to fix something that’s clearly broken.

outine repetitive tasks never bore me. As a kid I spent hours ironing, washing dishes, or my favourite, shivering in the chilly root cellar cutting shrivelled potatoes into bite size pieces for the cows, filling several five gallon pails every afternoon until the bin was empty. Random enlivening thoughts flit through my mind like a CNN crawl. I may review the day’s news, even ponder criminals’ baffling behaviours such as the Alberta thief who made off across frozen fields on a monster John Deere tractor pursued by a Mountie hitching a ride on a snowmobile until he tipped the tractor over on a hillside. This morning for 20 minutes I threw heavy blocks of firewood into the basement. Twenty minutes at a time is my limit. On a job rife with so many physical hazards I try to focus my attention on the work at hand.

For all my concentration, in the back of my mind topics skitter: Oscar Pistorius testifying for the second day in his own defence. Why would he have a lock on his toilet door? My understanding is his toilet is a cubby separate from the main bathroom. Not the way the average Canadian bathroom is built. Perhaps Pistorius is extra shy, doesn’t want even the woman he is sleeping with to catch him with his pants down. I move to the 94-year-old Toronto woman who was defrauded out of her $25,000
life savings by a housekeeper who gradually encroached on her life from cleaning, to cooking, to handling her accounts, until one day the young woman invited herself to move in with her husband and two kids. They allegedly stole her jewellery, disposed of most of her furniture, and confined her to a small bedroom until a pharmacy delivery man who had been dropping off her prescription medicine for 10 years felt something was amiss when the husband – not the senior – opened the door. He asked to see the senior. She acted strange, wouldn’t look at him. He reported his suspicions to the pharmacist who called police. The couple was arrested. Strangers donated $70,000 to replace the senior’s life savings. Common indicators of abuse include: helplessness, depression, hesitation to talk openly, fear, denial and agitation. The 94-year-old has only one living relative, a sister in Montreal. But relatives, too, can be abusers. Mickey Rooney, the 93-year-old Hollywood movie star who died April 6, testified last year before
S TANDARD
a U.S. congressional committee on ageing that he had been emotionally and financially abused by relatives. Rooney revealed a stepson had deprived him of food and medicine, prevented him from leaving the house, and meddled in his financial affairs. Rooney won a lawsuit against his stepson for return of $2.8 million ... which he may never collect. The stepson is bankrupt. His insurance company refuses to pay. Two other cases of elder abuse – both by doctors – niggle my mind. One Edmonton senior sought help from her family doctor for her emotional problems. He told her all she needed was a man. And an Alberta surgeon, upset that the surgical procedure had taken four hours longer than he had allotted, blamed his patient for the operation running into overtime. The unprofessional behaviour of both doctors is disturbing. If I had learned of these two incidents from a less reliable source, I wouldn’t believe any qualified medical practitioner might behave this way. Bored by repetitive tasks? Not me.

DISAPPEARANCE OF winter show reveals trash accumulation at a southside parkland area.
Teens clean up winter garbage Dear Sir: As the snow cleared we became aware of how disgusting our neighbouring ‘park’ area around Tetrault St. had become. We have lived in our home on Tetrault St. for 17 years and have regularly maintained this area, calling the city on occasion when it became too much.
C
Just recently my 16-yearold son and his buddies took it on themselves to clean up this dumping ground. After filling 14 bags with garbage, and collecting four mattresses in the process, it is clean. Teenage boys can be funny about having their picture taken and acknowledged but their names are Derek Leffers, Eric VandeVelde, Lucas Lanter-
man, Chris Cooper, and Josh Sexton. All except Eric, who is a student at Caledonia Senior Secondary, attend Centennial Christian School. Maybe this will remind people to clean up their own trash. Diane Nyman Leffers, Terrace, B.C. ****** Dear Sir: Within 24 hours at the be-
ginning of April someone has dumped a load of trash lumber a stone’s throw south of the PNG regulation station between Haaland and JL’s Excavating in Thornhill. This trash consists of scrap plywood and triangular 2x8 lumber ends and other odds and ends.

Dear Sir: I am writing in regards to an article that appeared in the April 2nd, 2014 edition of The Terrace Standard, with the headline “Chamber board supports Enbridge project” in large, bold letters. After reading some of the statements and the numbers that were used to back them up, I was left shaking my head. Now most school children would probably be able to do this rough math in their heads, but for scientific reasons, I decided to pull the calculator out and crunch up some of the numbers presented in the article. So here goes, 40 members out of 290 members, equals 13.8 per cent, of which 51.3 per cent say they are in support, which equals 7 per cent of the total membership. So, in order to try and clarify this, I am assuming that what the chamber board is saying is that because 7 per cent of their membership supports Enbridge, the board is now saying “it officially supports Enbridge’s planned Northern Gateway pipeline project.” “The board is the voice of the members and we represent the members” said the chamber president. I find it very interesting that the chamber president also commented that “the Northern Gateway project remains a challenging topic.” I wonder if by this she meant that it was a challenge to convert 7 per cent support of their membership, to a statement to the newspaper, stating in large, bold letters, that “Chamber board supports Enbridge project.” Another interesting number that has been provided here is 86.2 per cent, which is the number of chamber members which decided not to vote at all. Some people are very good with numbers and can do all kinds of things with them, but in this case, I think that maybe the “lower confidence limit” of this statistical sample is far lower than it should be to make such a bold statement. Malcolm Graham, Terrace. B.C.
Level playing field now a slippery slope
onversation and public writing has long been littered with familiar metaphors. How often have we heard of corporations “bleeding” red ink, for example, or unions’ “war chests” for strikes? Sport, too, is fertile ground (metaphor) for germinating (metaphor) metaphors. Supertankers for carrying crude oil and dilbit are promoted as being up to three and a half football fields long. A favourite metaphor for use in competitive environments (e.g. political elections, bidding for contracts in business, etc.) is the “level playing field.” Canadians frequently trot out this trite trope, expecting listeners and readers to somehow imagine opposing interests as teams on some gridiron. Think how un-Canadian it would be were the field somehow sloped in favour of one team or another! Unfair or not, a distinctly uneven playing field increasingly characterizes society today in politics and in the conditions of everyday life. Perhaps it is
because the government, that should be the referee between opposing interests, is working for one of the teams. Canadian political competition is not about getting the best for the country, but about parties’ rewarding special interest groups that support them. The political right resent the left for its labour affiliations, and the left resent the right for its access to the deep pockets of corporate Canada. Within the federal sphere of influence in Canada, the section of the constitution relating to the government’s mandate to maintain “peace, order, and good government” is almost necessarily vague, allowing for a wide variety of priorities (as long as they do not infringe on other rights or mandates defined elsewhere). Under the Conservatives currently in power, “peace and order” have come from more militarized police (consider the security forces and their abuses during the G-8 meetings in 2010 and wildly expanded spending on prisons, 86
GUEST COMMENT
AL LEHMANN per cent higher during their first five years in office). As for “good government,” you decide. For example, in 2012 the energy industry (according to Canjex Publishing Ltd.) had 791 separate meetings with ministers, MPs and government officials and soon the government was proposing to make regulatory changes that, according to critics, gut environmental protection. In the same
period environmental groups had one meeting with the Minister of the Environment. An alarming extension of this imbalance is the revelation (now old news) that the Canadian government has used CSIS to spy on environmental groups as part of a coordinated campaign to limit or reduce these organizations’ ability to engage the public through useful questions in environmental hearings (such as the NEB hearings on Northern Gateway pipeline). Merit Canada, a coalition of non-union contractors, had its lobbyists meet with officials in the Prime Minister’s Office, as well as with representatives of the Department of Finance to request these changes. Their purpose is to save money for contractors by reducing wages. In response the Conservatives have proposed Bill C-377, designed specifically to weaken the influence of labour unions in Canada. In recent years many industries have used temporary foreign workers to fill jobs that they
claim Canadians have been unwilling or unable to take. However, Blacklock’s Reporter has recently revealed that the government takes EI contributions from these workers but denies them the right to benefits if they’re laid off. Now, based on a largely invented danger of voter fraud, proposed federal government legislation threatens to remove the right to vote of thousands of citizens who are demographically less likely to support the governing party, as well as to limit or eliminate the ability of Elections Canada to enforce funding rules in elections. To rig elections, stuffing ballot boxes is old hat. Voter suppression of likely opponents is now the method of choice. Level playing field? The Conservatives are systematically constructing a sloped playing field in favor of a corporatized, carbonized Canada. Canada’s current government is contemptibly out of balance.

Chamber’s Enbridge survey gave a voice for its members
Janice Shaben cil was elected by a turnout of 27.9 per cent of the eligible voters. Does this make them statistically irrelevant? No. It means they were elected by the few people of Terrace who took the time to come out to vote. This council then proclaimed, on behalf
of Terrace, that they did not support the Northern Gateway project. Now let’s talk about the message. The only voice business has in the community is the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce. As we all know, businesses do not have a vote. The chamber, by polling their members, gave them an opportunity to have their voices heard. Those who took the time to respond deserve to be heard, just like those who took the time to vote deserve to have their votes recognized. The problem arises because of the result of the poll which said that some of the business community in Terrace actually support the Northern Gateway Project.
Rather than listening to this message some city council members proceeded to try to denigrate the messenger by attacking the methodology of the survey. The Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce is to be commended for giving the business community an opportunity to voice their views. It should have been an opportunity then for council to respectfully listen to this very critical component of the

Dear Sir: Since the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce survey statistics debate surrounding its on-line survey in relation to Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project seems to want to persist as a story, I would like to add some perspective. The primary point that has been missed is that this was a poll of the chamber membership, not the community as a whole. The problem here is not really statistics, it is the message. But first let’s talk about statistics. Our sitting city councillors were elected by a range of approximately 18 per cent to a low of 10 per cent of the eligible voters. The whole city coun-

EMERGENCY VEHICLES gather around a Hawkair flight which returned to Terrace soon after departing April 7 because of mechanical issues.
Plane returns safely
THE local emergency response system was tested when a Hawkair passenger aircraft that had just left for Vancouver had to return to Terrace because of a mechanical issue with landing gear lights in the early afternoon of April 7. In addition to the Northwest Regional Airport’s employees and Hawkair employees at the airport, a fleet of ambulanc-
es, fire trucks from both the Thornhill and Terrace fire departments and RCMP vehicles assembled at the airport in case they were needed. The aircraft, a Dash 8 series, landed safely. “The aircraft has been inspected and the identified issue is being addressed prior to the aircraft returning to service,” said Jay Dilley, president Hawkair Aviation, later in the
afternoon. He praised the aircraft’s flight crew for its handling of the situation. Airport manager Carman Hendry noted that local agencies are prepared in case they are called to the airport. “This is to ensure everyone is prepared for circumstances like this,” says Hendry of ongoing training and readiness preparation.
Man ordered to pay $1,300 in fines TWO GUILTY pleas added up to more than $1,000 in fines for a local man. Henry John Haydon pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of resisting or obstructing a peace officer in Terrace provincial court April 8. On the drug charge, he was sentenced to pay a fine of $700 plus a victim fine surcharge of $210. For the second charge, he was ordered to pay a fine of $300 and a victim fine surcharge of $90. All
the fines are due to be paid by March 2016. And a man scheduled for a bail hearing pleaded guilty to a charge of assault causing bodily harm from an incident in Thornhill earlier this year. Michael Schofield was given a sentence of 206 days jail time and one year of probation in provincial court here April 7. He must provide a DNA sample to police and pay a victim fine surcharge of $100, due January 2015.

Damaging police vehicle costs man $4,000 A MAN owes the federal government several thousand dollars after he was convicted of damaging a police car. Samuel Ratchford pleaded guilty to one count of mischief and was ordered to pay restitution of $4,153.86 by judge Calvin Struyk in provincial court here February 25. He will spend 60 days on a conditional sentence order and six months on probation. On June 7, 2013 after being arrested and
put in a police vehicle, Ratchford began kicking the inside of the rear doors and continued until they were bent out of shape. Ratchford was also ordered to pay a victim fine surcharge of $50. For another incident with charges from New Year’s 2013, Ratchford pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon, unlawfully causing bodily harm and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm on Aug. 14, 2013 and was sentenced
March 31, 2014 to a five month conditional sentence with one year of probation with conditions to follow. He was ordered to provide a DNA sample to police and to pay a victim fine surcharge of $50. On January 2, 2013, Terrace RCMP reported that a male, who was asked to leave a New Year’s party at a private residence, got in his vehicle and aggressively drove it towards some people.

variable valve timing, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The two base engines available are a solid 2.4-litre four-cylinder and a 2.5 version, both of which are likely adequate for commuter use. I headed straight for Highway One and it positively purred along the long, clear stretches open to the daytime driver. Great acceleration in take-off and passing with limited lean and sway when cornering at speed. Back in urban madness, it offered a good view of fast encroaching vehicles from side streets and the rear. I mention this because I expected the sleek window profiles might hinder views, especially to the rear. Hence, it was also not as much of a beast to park at the supermarket as I had feared. Light steering also assisted in that manouevre. On the urban performance front, the transmission took the annoyance out of stop-go traffic. Have to think it was gulping gas though in smoothing out the urban trek. The Impala with the V6 starts at $32,945 (around $3,000 more than the 4-cylinder-equipped versions) but the test car options, which included rear park assist, rear vision camera, collision and lane departure alerts, premium audio, sunroof, added another $7,000. It will compete with the Dodge Charger and Ford Taurus domestically and a host of imports. Now to my reservations: the fuel economy for the V6 is 11.1/6.9L 100km (city/highway) and while that is not bad for a large car, it’s not the best in its segment. The four-cylinder eco version is impressive at 8.7/5.8L 100km (city/ highway). That said,I don’t think fuel economy will be a deal breaker for most people. My continued reservations really boil down to reliability. It’s a brand new car and we should wait a couple or three years before anointing this car as the best domestic sedan ever. That caution should not stop you from taking one for a spin. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

A Ford Euro car for the Americas By Zack Spencer
Ford has done an excellent job of using its worldwide expertise to bring some very practical, yet fun to drive, small cars to North America. Using Europeans to build the Ford Focus and Fiesta for a worldwide market enabled the manufacturer to bring these superb handling cars virtually unchanged to our shores. On top of that, Ford is also selling their sportiest ST versions of both these cars. The Focus ST was introduced last year and this year we get the Fiesta ST “hot hatch”. I’ve been a huge fan of the Fiesta. In fact, I prefer it to the bigger Focus, it is a perfect city runabout with go-cart like handling and a stylish little package. Looks
For 2014, all Fiesta models get a minor facelift with a new front grille and headlights. The ST is easy to spot because of the black honeycomb grille with an ST badge, bigger alloy wheels, a rear spoiler hanging over the rear window, a bigger rear air diffuser with twin exhaust tips and blacked out trim around the windows. The ST looks like it means business. There are two exterior options that might be worth the money. Upgraded paint colours like ‘Molten Orange’ or ‘Green Envy Metallic’ cost $400 and the smoked grey wheels with red brake calipers cost $500 more. The base ST at $24,999 comes very well equipped and is ready to cause some trouble. Inside The first thing that pops right out on the ST interior are the two heavily bolstered Recaro sports seats. These are not meant for big people, you just won’t fit. They are snug and supportive but lack some simple, yet important adjustments. The front of the seat sits much higher than the back so your backside is very low with your knees pointing up. This produces a sporty feel initially but on longer trips, the lack of adjustment prevents the driver from being able to stretch their legs. The dash has been updated to include a MyFord Touch screen for radio, phone, navigation and climate functions. The screen is
rather small and far away from the driver, which makes accessing the small, virtual buttons on the screen a challenge. However, it does look much better than the older Fiesta dash. The ST comes standard with very powerful front seat heaters, automatic climate control, a fat leather steering wheel with redundant radio controls and a leather covered manual shifter. The back seat has always been tight in the Fiesta; this is perfect for a single person or couple, not the best for a family. Drive
In an era of cars that almost drive themselves, the Fiesta ST is a throwback to a timewhen the driver felt connected to the machine. The suspension is much firmer than the regular Fiesta, almost harsh over bumpy roads but the feedback to the driver through the tight steering ratio, firm chassis and the grippy Recaro seats is superb. The turbocharged, direct injection 1,6L Ecoboost engine pumps out 197hp. Only sold with a super-slick manual transmission that shifts with no effort at all and the clutch is precise. In such a small car, this engine lets the driver do pretty much anything at will. Want to pass on the highway? No problem. Want to scoot away from a traffic light? No effort at all. This really is a car that does everything very well, including getting good fuel economy when the throttle is used lightly: using only 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.6L on the highway. Verdict At $24,999, the price might seem a bit steep for a subcompact car but this little machine comes almost fully loaded for that price. The options available are not “must have” items so the price can be kept in check. This Fiesta ST is a gem in the subcompact class, delivering great economy, fabulous interior and plenty of smiles. The ST just delivers much bigger smiles. Zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Thank goodness, the stolen vehicle was behind me. Did I feel bad? Yes. Does it make me a bad person for selling a stolen vehicle? Probably. But to outsiders, my life hasn’t changed. I’m still the same old Walt. Oh, if they only knew. I was on a roll. To my disbelief, I’d sold seven cars already. I guess you could say it was a part of me now – I “flip” cars on the side. And, I was branching out – with a truck and camper. The truck had been rebuilt. It was roadworthy again. I even had the inspection records to prove it. And the camper? That was marketing genius. When I put it up for sale, I fibbed. But only a little bit. “Truck for sale. Fixed after fender bender, looks new. Includes camper. It’s been in an accident, so I’m selling both for a low price. Great for family adventures. Call if interested.” Shortly after, I got a call. The man had a distinct, charming accent. He asked me what a “fender bender” was. I explained that it was a small accident. He seemed pleased and asked to meet me the next day. I assumed he was relatively new to the country, so I thought this would be an easy sale. Boy was I wrong! He’d gone to “new immigrant” welcome classes, where they shared information about life in Canada. I think this was where he developed an interest in camping Canadian style. He knew all the right questions to ask. But, I
gave him all the wrong answers. And, I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy for the truck to be safe. He also asked for a vehicle history report. I pulled the CarProof report out. I mean, I had nothing to hide. He asked me what “rebuilt*” meant. I told him that, because of the small accident, the transmission needed to be rebuilt. Oh, but I’d altered the sections detailing the amount of damage. Judging from his English skills, I’m sure he didn’t understand the difference. At least he was trying. He got an “A” for effort. I hope he figures out that the truck and camper would be unsafe on the road when he gets it fully loaded with passengers, fuel and gear. Good thing I have my “no returns” policy! Yes, I know what you’re all thinking. This is the lowest of the low. But you have to understand. I was slightly manic about this whole thing. At this point, I would do anything to make a sale and get myself another wallet full of cash.
*Rebuilt - This status is assigned to
“salvage” vehicles after they have been repaired and have passed inspection. Vehicle status alone does not fully describe a vehicle’s mechanical condition or damage history. This applies to RVs, motorcycles, cars and trucks.
“I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy to be safe.”

By Alexandra Straub
Ojai, CA. - Four-time World Rally Champion (WRC), Tommi Mäkinen, is behind the wheel of the 2015 Subaru WRX STI at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in the middle of nowhere, California. I’m riding shotgun along with two others in the back. The ease and effortlessness in which he wrangles the 305 turbocharged horses of the Subaru via the 6-speed manual gearbox is really no surprise. After all, he’s not a champion because he looks good doing it. So, if the pro can make it look and feel as perfect as a summer’s day, I should be able to as well, right? I slip into the captain’s chair of the STI – without Tommi in the car, thank goodness – and take to the 3.1-mile track. Prior to the hot laps, I had driven the outgoing 2014 Subaru STI on the same course. I’d be back-to-back testing these all-wheel drive machines to see how the engineering prowess has, yet again, continued to make a vehicle with a cult-like following even better.
Rewind a few hours to the start-of-the-day’s press conference. Masuo Takatsu, WRX STI Project General Manager, mentioned the modus operandi of the fourth generation STI was to create a vehicle that behaves as the drivers expects it to. Mission accomplished. Though I didn’t even come close to Tommi’s performance, that wasn’t my goal. The goal was to experience first-hand how docile yet potent Subaru’s famed sedan took to the high speeds and corners of the club track. I had no desire to hand the keys over to my colleagues as they eagerly anticipated their time in the Rally Blue beauty. It would be sacrilege if I didn’t insert some technical jargon into the reasoning why the STI scored big points on the road test. Without getting too deep into the engineering, here are the top three takehome points of this incredible vehicle. One: the increased use of high-strength steel makes for a stiffer and stronger body, and decreases its tendency to twist and bend in corners. The result?

A more predictable handling sedan that isn’t easily irked and stays firmly planted to the ground. Furthermore, the 2015 STI achieves 16 percent less body roll than before. Two: You have the practicality of added dimensions. There is 25mm added to wheelbase, there is 900mm more legroom in back and you get 20L more cargo space (from 320L to 340L.) Three: The Base WRX and STI don’t have a rear spoiler. The Sport and Sport-tech WRX has a trunk lip spoiler and the corresponding STI trims have the “table for six” or very large spoiler! Perhaps it’s also sacrilege to not put the emphasis of this review on the design and engineering of this new generation of STI. After all, it has been reimagined on both the inside and out. But anyone who knows the vehicle is aware that it is in a class of its own, with few competitors that can come close to the emotional appeal that this sedan brings to the market. And anyone not familiar with it should be aware that, despite its 2.5L turbocharged engine, which produces the aforementioned 305 horsepower and

290 lb-ft of torque, it is as gracious and powerful as a samurai soldier and his sword. Now, for those who are looking for similar excitement but not as many ponies, fear not, Subaru has their WRX to captivate you. Also completely redesigned on the inside and out, you have the magic of the Japanese brand’s 2.0L, turbocharged engine that produces 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and also the choice of a manual or a Sport Lineartronic transmission (a CVT with 8 virtual gears; similar to that found on the new Forester but tailored specifically to the WRX.) It too has the dynamism and pedigree to impress on the road and track. Performance, good times, outstanding engineering and hot colours equate to the new 2015 Subaru WRX and WRX STI.

Camp clearing starts CLEARING IS underway on the site where a large work camp could one day be located in Thornhill just off of Hwy37 South and south of Churchill Drive. As part of the agreement to purchase the 93-acre wooded property, PTI Group, an Edmonton-based worker lodging company, had assigned logging rights to the previous owner of the land. Local developer Mike Scott, who sold the property, says his company, Rio Vista, says the work began with clearing an access road from Hwy37 South. Scott said he has until the end of the summer to finish the harvest of what he foresees to be approximately 50 per cent of the trees considered suitable for other uses. “This is temporary access just so we can get the timber off the property,” said Scott last week. “There is probably half of it where the timber value is not sufficient to warrant logging it.” “There will be a buffer along the highway so people driving along probably won’t notice it and there will be a big buffer between where the logged area is and where the residents on Churchill Drive live,” he added. PTI official Sean Crockett said the worker lodging company is not part of the clearing operation and that the company isn’t yet proceeding with any development plans. PTI, which is already in the advanced stages of worker lodging plans

CREWS HAVE begun clearing trees from a large section of land just off of Hwy37 South and south of Churchill Drive for a potential work camp location.
at Kitimat in anticipation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants, won’t be proceeding at the Thornhill location until more is known about LNG development requirements. According to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, PTI applied for the permit to put in a temporary access road to the logging site. “PTI Group has been issued a temporary resource access permit for logging purposes,” said a ministry official. Any further development at the location for accommodations would require rezoning approval from the Regional District of KitimatStikine.
Transportation ministry access approval would also be needed because of the proximity to Hwy37 South. Residents in the Churchill Drive subdivision spoke out in March about concerns related to a plan to put a work camp so close to residences. Crockett had responded that the lodging would be of a more lasting nature than the term “work camp” evokes and that housing units suitable for a upwards of a decade of use would be placed there. He did not comment on reports that an industrial laundry facility might also be part of any lodging development proposal.
Jobless tally creeps up FEWER PEOPLE are working now in the region than for the same period in 2013, indicates the latest information from Statistics Canada. Information for March 2014 states 36,600 people are working, a drop from 39,500 in March 2013 for the area from the north coast to just this side of Vanderhoof. Accordingly, the labour force, which is defined as the number of people who consider themselves as part of the labour force whether working or not, has also dropped – from 42,900 in March 2013 to 39,800 in March 2014. At the same time, the number of people who are unemployed has also declined, from 3,500 in March 2013 to 3,200 in March 2014. The result is a March 2014 jobless
rate of 8 per cent compared to 8.2 per cent in March 2013. The drop in the workforce comes at a time when province-wide, more people were working in March than the month before. Statistics Canada reports a 18,000 rise in the March 2014 workforce in B.C. The northwest’s March 2014 jobless rate of 8 per cent puts it in the middle of provincial economic regions. The highest jobless rate, surprisingly, is in northeastern B.C. where it was 8.6 per cent in March, much higher than the 4.6 per cent recorded in March 2013. The lowest March 2014 regional jobless rate was 6.1 per cent and that was in the Cariboo.

Think tank to close BARRING A last minute infusion of money, a northwest resources think tank formed in 2009 is poised to shut down. “We had a lot of people say they like what we do but unfortunately none of them came forward with any money,” says Rick Brouwer from the SkeenaNass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics (SNCIRE). The society has already closed its office. The non-profit society, which had four part-time employees, began a campaign late last year to raise $200,000. That would have provided a more stable financial base for the society which had relied on grants for specific projects it was undertaking, said Brouwer. Focused primarily on ways to add value to the region’s forest resource away from traditional sawmills and pulp mills, which were more subject to economic ups and downs, SNCIRE in its later years broadened its scope to look at the region’s other resources. Brouwer said the idea of a resources think tank grew out of conversations beginning in 2007 during a provincial forest service review of the region. “There was a feeling for the need for a local research entity, ideally how to innovate and put real value into the [forest] resource,” he said. The long-term view was to encourage business development that would not be affected by massive up and down economic cycles that had affected the region for years. “When times are good, people say there’s no need and when times are bad, they say there’s no money to do anything,” said Brouwer. During its time, SNCIRE showcased artists and others in the hopes of developing high value niche markets using regional wood resources. It also worked to develop larger projects such as bio-energy plants using northwest fibre. “But really, our thinking is that we wanted to shift away from a dependence on low value entities,” said Brouwer. “What I think we have done is plant some seeds and some day we hope to see them germinate,” he said.
As well, Brouwer welcomed moves that were made for the region to act together in resource use and development planning. SNCIRE, for example, was hired through a federal-provincial initiative to look at the skills needed by northwest residents based on expected industrial development in the region. Through that it was involved with Partnerships 2020, a Terrace conference which brought together companies, training agencies and local governments. A motion to dissolve the society will be debated at its May annual general meeting. Brouwer said the society is looking for another agency or facility to house its mostly digital collection of research and information that it has gathered up since its formation. SNCIRE is planning one last event that will end in May. It’s hosting an innovation challenge in which it wants to attract entries highlighting the creativity of people in the northwest over the past several years. The Northwest Innovation Challenge is giving away $11,000 in cash prizes. Prize money comes from $5,000 that Spectra Energy gave, and when the challenge was being planned, other businesses and groups were contacted, said SNCIRE communications coordinator Sarah Artis. Terrace Community Forest gave another $5,000 and UNBC donated $1,000 toward the prizes as well, she added. SNCIRE also had some money left over from its last couple of years of operation so that will be used to pay for the challenge event itself, said Artis. The finalists will be announced April 17 and they will receive $250 to ready their idea for display and to be judged at the challenge event May 9. The public is invited to come see what people have to present as their idea and cash prizes will be awarded, said Artis. People will be able to vote by anonymous ballot for the People’s Choice Award. On that same night will be the SNCIRE annual general meeting too, she added. The Northwest Innovation Challenge starts at 7 p.m. May 9.

Midwifery makes sense to mothers THERE’S A growing demand for midwives here and not just in the smaller towns or remote areas. At a midwifery session here in January, about 15 people came out to listen to Hazelton midwife Angela Smith speak about what a midwife is and home birth for anyone interested in learning about midwifery, said organizer Raven Thunderstorm, who wants to become a midwife one day when her children are a bit more grown. “It was awesome, just getting the communication going and just for everyone to understand what midwives do. I think there’s a lot of misconceptions out there,” said Thunderstorm. “It is a specialized profession, not just someone deciding to call themselves midwives.” Midwives undergo rigorous training and it’s a four-year bachelor’s degree, she said. Only the University of BC offers a midwife program in the province right now and it’s highly competitive to get in with only 20 spots open to new students each year. “The training is very intense so midwives really become experts on normal birth,” she added. And the services of a midwife are covered by the health care system in B.C. Midwives are the caregiver for normal, low-risk pregnancies, a specialist for a normal birth. When there’s any sort of complications, they refer to or consult with specialists, she said. They may share care with the obstetrician too, it all depends on when in the pregnancy there’s a problem, if at the end then the midwife would be able to be there in a supportive role or for baby care. “The whole idea is continuity of care and a connection with the caregiver and to be comfortable,” said Thunderstorm about having a midwife. For instance, instead of a quick appointment with a doctor, midwife appointments are from 45
minutes to one hour to give the person time to become comfortable with the midwife. Thunderstorm chose to have a midwife for the birth of her son, and had to travel to Smithers to do that. She stayed in a hotel, let the hotel know what she was planning to do and had her baby there with a midwife present. Although there is no midwife here in Terrace, Smith, is taking clients from Terrace, said Thunderstorm. “She’s waiting to get her hospital privileges here. The process takes some time,” said Thunderstorm about Smith, adding Smith is thinking about moving to Terrace. “Women with normal, low-risk pregnancies sometimes end up with OBs (obstetricians) here but it would be great if they (OBs) could focus on highrisk pregnancies,” said Thunderstorm, referring to midwives taking the regular low risk pregnancies to free up obstetricians for the riskier pregnancies. Midwives don’t only deliver babies at the mother’s home but often do deliver in hospitals too – around 70 per cent of births attended by midwives in B.C. take place in hospital. In January, the Midwives Association of BC announced that it wants to increase the number of births by midwife in the province to 35 per cent from the current 17 per cent by 2020. The idea is to have more access to maternity services in rural and northern communities, improve health outcomes for women and newborns and reduce health care costs. “I’ve always wanted to be a midwife. I grew up on a farm and saw lots of animal births,”she said. “It’s a passion of mine helping to empower women through birth and my experience.” For now, she’s taking a child birth educator course so she can offer pre-natal classes and plans to work in that area until she’s ready to become a midwife.
Group first ever invited to gala THE TERRACE Senior Speech Arts Group has the distinction of being the first speech arts drama group to ever be asked to perform at the Pacific Northwest Music Festival Gala Night. Hannah Murdoch, Kalea Raposo, Renzo Zanardo, Ocean Georgelin, Aaron Arcadi, Sophia Zenardo, Megan Evans and Kallie Edwards performed Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf by Roald Dahl, said Christina Rogers, their speech arts teacher. “It was wonderful to see older teens participating in the festival process. Half of the group had no festival experience prior to this year,” said Rogers. “Renzo Zanardo chose to miss a swim meet, to make the Gala performance happen, highlighting their dedication and enthusiasm.” Adjudicator Camilla Burgess complimented them on “lovely character voices and attitude” and “team work,” said Rogers, adding Burgess called their performance “Entertainment truly!” Burgess suggested them for the gala, she added.

His legacy lives on First World War vet’s bursary still helps students A BRITISH Army veteran from the First World War who died here in 1974 left a financial legacy that continues to this day. It takes the form of a bursary financed by the interest earned on $100,000 provided by Frank Morris in his will and meant to further the educational needs of those who meet the qualifications. Originally meant for veterans from Terrace and their immediate families when awards first began in the mid1970s, the qualifications have broadened slightly over the years, explains longtime Legion member Mary Ann Misfeldt who sits on the three-person bursary committee. “It’s open to any relative of a veteran who must have either been a resident of Terrace and area at the time of enlistment or have lived in the area for a minimum of five years after an honourable termination of service,” she says. The person applying must have been a resident of Terrace for the immediate past two years, she added. “If a person, for instance, is going to school elsewhere but who calls Terrace home, then we take that into account.” Financial need is a key consider-
ation for the bursary committee and it is not limited to students graduating from secondary school and applies to those taking any type of post-secondary education. Misfeldt said the size of the bursary awarded each year can vary and is determined by the amount of interest earned in a year. “There have been times, when the interest rate has been very low, we have dipped into the principal,” she said. Not much is known about Morris, said Misfeldt who even made a trip with a grandson to the old cemetery last month to uncover his headstone. “We discovered that Frank Morris was born on Sept. 27, 1888 and died on Nov. 11, 1974. He was a lieutenant in the British forces during the First World War.” Misfeldt noticed the significance of Morris’ death date, the same date that the First World War ended. In conversations with local people, Misfeldt also learned that he was in the real estate business here, that his wife predeceased him and that the couple had no children. He apparently lived in a house where the Royal Bank now stands.

which could have had an impact on our numbers, he added. March was time for the national Hunger Count week. “We will send our numbers to them to get a breakdown of our clients regarding singles, children etc.,” said Wiebenga. “This will help with national numbers across the country.” There was a great turnout of volunteers, including some students due to the break. Lots of food was handed out, including a lot of fresh produce and dairy products. “It was a great rewarding week,” he said.

Running for Parkinson’s research A LOCAL man inspired by the strength of others is helping to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research. Joe Pelletier, known for his writing on hockey and hockey books, is representing Terrace and the Michael J. Fox Foundation and Team Fox at the Vancouver 10km Sun Run April 27. “I’ve always been inspired by Michael J. Fox, and the way he has turned his adversity into a message of hope. He has done so much good,
not just in the Parkinson’s community but beyond it,” said Pelletier. “I wanted to pick up a charity drive to help make my running more meaningful. So I’m giving back and at the same time giving back to Fox in a way.” He wasn’t sure how much money he should have as a goal for his fundraising so he chose $500 but then raised that amount in one day. “We are at $800 now, including some cash donations given to

Former school trustee passes away A FORMER school trustee has passed away. Nancy Orr was a trustee in the old Terrace School District from January 1968 until March 1977 and again from December 1981 until November 1987. She passed away in Oliver, B.C. April 1 at the age of 91. In an article in The Terrace Review published in November 1987, at the end of her second period on the school board, Orr recounted some of her trustee work. “Terrace has been one of the best school districts all along. Caledonia was one of the first schools in the province to have a computer lab,” she said in that article. “At first, school trustees weren’t paid for their work; it was considered an honour to
work for the community’s best interests,” Orr added. She was also chair of the school board for a term. Orr was also involved in the formation
of Northwest Community College by sitting on its first board. She continually pressed to have more night time adult education courses scheduled in the area.
recognition, Orr’s community involvement was recognized by having a city street, Orr Place, on the Bench, named in her honour. While in her 60s, Orr enrolled in post second-
ary courses at Simon Fraser University and at Kwantlen College where she studied journalism. She then wrote for The Terrace Review in the late 1980s and into
the early 1990s. A resident of Terrace beginning in the early 1950s, Orr was married to Leonard Orr, who passed away in 1986. The couple had five daughters.

Cullen backs Horgan SKEENA-BULKLEY VALLEY NDP MP Nathan Cullen has backed NDP MLA John Horgan in his bid to be the next leader of the provincial New Democratic Party. The endorsement, made last week, comes at a time when Horgan is the only contender for the job; fellow NDP MLA Mike Farnworth has now dropped out of the race. “John believes in good resource jobs that respect the planet and benefit local communities, and he can connect with British Columbians in any part of the province,” said Cullen. “This is the only way we’re going to build a 21st Century British Columbia and John is the leader to get the job done.” Cullen at one time mulled over running for the provincial NDP leadership as well, but then decided not to. Once the house leader for the NDP official opposition in Ottawa, Cullen is now the party’s finance critic. He joins Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin in endorsing Horgan. Current NDP provincial leader Adrian Dix is vacating the job after the party lost the 2013 provincial election.

Suit filed against police is over A CIVIL suit launched by a local man who said police assaulted him and uttered homophobic slurs at him is over. A requisition for consent order or for order without notice was filed April 2 at the Smithers court registry on the civil case between plaintiff Shane Parker and the defendants the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General plus nine former or current Terrace RCMP officers. The consent order means the lawsuit is dismissed with no costs to either party and the
dismissal is the same as if the case was pronounced as dismissed after a trial on its merits, explained Andrew Kemp, a Prince George lawyer who represented the ministry and police officers. He could not go into any further details about what went on in court in Smithers. Parker had been charged with assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest in August 2010. He was given a conditional discharge with 12 months probation in October 2012.
In November 2010, Parker filed a civil lawsuit alleging that nine officers were involved in an assault of him in June 2010 and again in August 2010. A complaint was also filed with the Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP and all nine of the officers who came into contact with Parker on the dates mentioned were interviewed. Two officers were disciplined for breaching the RCMP Act Code of Conduct and charges were forwarded to prosecutors but they decid-
ed no criminal charges were warranted. The two officers
weren’t named because they were not criminally charged.
It was a diaper
ONE OF the 43 calls for service received by Terrace RCMP officers between 8 a.m. April 8 and 8 a.m. April 9 turned out to be a bit more unusual than normal. A gel-type substance was found in a bundle on a person’s lawn, reported RCMP in adding that the person was familiar with explosives and was sure that it was an explosive. “Police examined the substance and determined it to be an old diaper,” police reported. Over that same period, as well, a grey 2012 Ford Focus was pulled over on Hwy 37 near the Furlough Bay Campsite. An odour of marijuana was detected. The 24-year-old driver and 25-year-old passenger were arrested. An amount of marijuana was seized. The driver did not have a valid licence.

Terrace Bantams try for Team BC THREE SECOND year members of the Terrace Bantam Rep team are en route to Salmon Arm to take a shot at representing the province on Team BC’s U16 team. Nick Nordstrom, Austen McKean and Sam Reinbolt successfully made it through the 90-player north region camp in Vanderhoof two weekends ago to become three of only 20 players from the northern half of the province selected to advance to the next selection round April 17 – 20. This round sees 160 of the best young players in the province compete for a spot on Team BC which will be competing in the Canada Winter Games in Prince George in 2015. “For all of the different communities, three of the 20 coming from Terrace in the north half, that’s a good accomplishment for those boys and the whole team,” said the boys’ coach Rory Reinbolt, noting there were five bantams in total who competed, and the two who didn’t make the cut also gave strong performances. The Bantams had a strong run at provincials this year, taking bronze, and coach Reinbolt said the team handles pressure well, which will be helpful at U16 tryouts. “I think being through a pressure cooker like that at provincials helps,” he said. “Now they’re at that stage trying to get picked and

there’s some pressure, you hold the stick a little tighter and maybe you try a little bit too hard, and that was some of the stuff we talked to some of the boys about at provincials too, saying ‘Oh don’t do that, just play your normal game. You’re
good enough to win if you just relax and do your thing.’” He said that was the message he gave them at tryouts. “Don’t try to go outside your skin, just play your normal game, try to focus on your strengths and
do what you always do well and you should be good enough,” he said. And the boys seem to have taken those words to heart. “I think we just need to play the way us three played all season,”
said Nordstrom. With 160 players, it’s important that the boys find a way to stand out, while still sticking to their strengths. Defenceman Nordstrom is going to focus on “skating, quick speed, looking for the right passes. Skating’s really important, physicality helps.” And for forwards McKean and Reinbolt, it’s “can we pull a move off here or there, or score a goal,” said Reinbolt. “The simple stuff,” said McKean. The players said it was helpful to play with the high calibre of players at the Vanderhoof camp. “It kind of got us working harder,” said Nordstrom. And they’re anticipating even better players in Salmon Arm. The U16 tryouts are heavily watched by higher league scouts, and the players are used to being scouted. Coach Reinbolt said that usually the scouts know the players they are looking for. “They’ve scouted them already and they want to see how they perform under pressure,” he said. “But the boys from the north, they get a chance to be seen by these guys too, and they say they’re always looking for the diamond in the rough so it’s a good opportunity for the boys.”

■■ Golf season begins THE SKEENA Valley Golf and Country Club saw a bright start to the golf season on opening day, April 12. Kelly Mooney, left, and Bonnie Armstrong spent the day on the course, and they’ll also be taking part in the Thursday night ladies program, just one of many returning programs the golf course has going on this year.
THE FOUNDER of the Goalgetters soccer camps is taking on a new role with Terrace Youth Soccer Association (TYSA). John Sneddon will be TYSA’s technical director, reads a release on the club’s website. Sneddon is a former Canadian National team player, BC All-Star Pacific Coast League player and a member of the Calgary Springer Kickers National Champions team. He is a certified National “B” Coach, is the Head Coach of Grassroots II for the Abbotsford Mariners FC in the fall and winter and BC Soccer Grassroots Tutor for the North Coast. Coming to Terrace for over 20 years with Goalgetters, it gives John a unique advantage as he knows many of our players. Sneddon looks forward to working with all of TYSA’s players from the U5’s up to the U18’s. Coaches are still needed for the upcoming season. Contact TYSA at tysa1@telus.net.

AIM dancers start season off right ART IN Motion Dancers are off to a strong start, completing their first two dance festivals of the season. After training and working hard since choreography started in August, they took their first road trip of the season March 21 to the Prince George Dance Festival. A total of 20 dancers from ages 7 to 17 participated in the week-long festival, where the girls competed in Classical Ballet, Demi-Character, Jazz, Lyrical Jazz, Contemporary, Modern, Hip Hop and Song and Dance.
AIM staff and teachers said they are very proud of all their dancers and their accomplishments – for some of the girls it was their first competition in dance. The team returned to Terrace with numerous placements and category trophies in solos, duets and group pieces. The team then competed in the dance category of the local Pacific Northwest Music Festival which ended March 31, where they said they were excited to perform in their hometown for all of their families and friends.

hemically castrating frogs is not nice. This continent’s frog populations have been declining for a long time. For much of that time the reason for the downslide has been a mystery. It isn’t anymore. Scientists have found at the smoking gun. It’s called Atrazine. Atrazine is a herbicide manufactured by the people at Syngenta, a Swiss company that manufactures more poison than any other. There are a lot of jobs at Syngenta. There is a lot of money too. More than enough to lavishly fund lobbyists primed to persuade American politicians to do everything in their power to see that Atrazine is used widely to keep the weeds down in those wide open spaces where corn, sugar, sorghum, yams, and rice are grown. This is especially important since the European Union banned the use of Atrazine in 2004. The lobbyists have done well. Last year alone, over 80 million pounds of Atrazine was dumped on American crop and turf lands, where it has been in use for 50 years. In concentrations of 2.5 parts per billion, Atrazine will turn exposed male frogs into females. If you don’t know squat about bio diversity and bio accumulation, you might say, “Hey, they’re only frogs.” But, you would be failing to see that the meat of the matter is in how this happens. Atrazine messes with the reproductive capabilities of insects and fish. This is because it’s an endocrine disruptor that screws with the endocrine system of animals of all kinds including you.

A GROUP of snowboarders and filmmakers touring the northwest in a school bus that runs on vegetable oil will be showing their films tonight, April 16, in Terrace. Beyond Boarding, a group which bills the event as “from Patagonia to the Sacred Headwaters, bridging the gap between snowboarding and activism” will be screening two documentaries – Belén and Northern Grease – at the Elephant’s Ear Bistro. Belén, from 2012, tells the
story of Canadian snowboarders Tamo Campos and Dave MacKinnon travelling through South America, working with local development organizations in impoverished communities and snowboarding volcano craters in Patagonia. While Northern Grease, filmed in 2013, follows the group around northern B.C. in its veggie oil powered school bus in an attempt to learn about resource extraction and the people those projects affect. “The Beyond Boarding’s

are fed colouring to taint their flesh and fed antibiotics, and are nutritionally inferior to wild salmon; but now, Gail Shea, the latest dud in a long line of duds who (with the notable exception of David Anderson) have had the Fisheries portfolio, has taken time out from her campaign to market seal meat to announce that she proposes to relax the laws that forbid the release of dangerous substances into Canada’s waterways. It takes powerful poison to knock out weeds. Taking out vermin like fleas, bed bugs, cockroaches, and lice requires equally potent chemicals, and the fish farming industry is lousy. For years they have been using a poison (they euphemistically call poisons “therapeutants” in the biz) with the catchy trade name Slice to knock lice off their farmed fish. Back east, the lice have developed a resistance to the poison. The industry there sought permission to use a pesticide called Alphamax. Convenient handmaiden that it is, Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency was all set to issue a year long authorization for its use, but was blocked from doing so by Environment Canada, the latter citing Section 36 of the Fisheries Act, which sensibly forbids the dumping of deleterious substances into fish bearing streams. Minister Gail of PEI and her mandarins has a simple solution: they are poised to grant the Minister of Fisheries special powers to override section 36. Do you get the uneasy feeling Canada is more like a banana republic with each passing day?

Fallen loggers remembered WHAT BEGAN as a memorial to one man killed while logging has grown to include a project to remember all those who have died while working in the forest industry in the northwest. “It was just going to be a couple of trees and a cross-cut saw in memory of my friend, Dennis Darby,” says Bill McRae, the son of Bill and Helene McRae, who has spent years in the forest industry. But once word of McRae’s plan started to spread, he began collecting a list of other people who have been killed while working in the industry. And he began receiving donated equipment and truck time and other assistance. “It’s snowballed,” he said. “It’s beyond myself and Terrace and now includes the northwest.” McRae is still preparing a tree for his friend Dennis Darby on which will be placed a cross-cut saw and two hard hats – one of which is in the familiar round style. But now there’s also going to be several large boulders placed on a concrete pad in front of the tree that’s located just beside the small chapel at Usk east of Terrace on Hwy16. There, on Sunday, April 27 at 2 p.m., McRae’s loggers’ memorial will be blessed. A plaque affixed to one of the boulders will read “in memory of those who lost their lives in the forest industry.” To McRae’s knowledge, it will be the only memorial to deceased forestry workers in the northwest and perhaps in the province. “It’s now way beyond my idea,” says McRae. “Everyone I’ve talked to, it’s tapped something emotional. “If you grew up in the northwest, you were touched in some fashion. You went to funerals of someone you knew. It was your friend at school’s dad.” McRae said equipment owners and operators he hired to work on the project donated more labour and equipment time when they heard about his plan. “They just showed

The list of those assisting McRae grew to include people he’s never met before.
“You know what rolling sevens is all the time? That’s what this is like,” he said. Also growing was the list of people who had been killed on the job – more than 30 names and a number which then doubled when McRae was given a list from Haida Gwaii/ The Queen Charlotte Is-
lands. And as much as the memorial is about men killed while working in the forest industry, it’s also about those who they left behind, McRae said. “You can’t do anything without a good woman,” he adds. For McRae, all of the effort is a way to remember friend Den-
nis Darby who was killed at one location in 1994 while McRae was working at another. McRae wasn’t able to immediately visit the location where his friend died, something that’s stayed with him to this day. “That’s always bothered me. Maybe it’s guilt or something,” he
says. “I get to play with my grandkids and Dennis doesn’t.” The memorial’s design of boulders placed on top of each other follows a common practice among loggers in this area. When clearing for roads, crews would pile rocks they’d dug out on
nearby stumps. “It was just something we did,” McRae recalls. The April 27 blessing falls just one day before April 28, recognized in Canada and around the world as International Workers’ Memorial Day to remember those killed, disabled, injured or made unwell by their work.

Victor Edward Curell May 8, 1947 – March 6, 2014
On March 6, 2014 during an around the world adventure, Ed died suddenly of cardiac arrest at Seminyak Beach, Bali. Ed was born in Vancouver, B.C. He attended Sir Matthew Begbie School and Templeton Secondary School, and then went onto U.B.C. He lived in Britain from 1971 – 1976. He got his library degree in Aberystwyth, Wales and later did his Masters of Library Science at U.B.C. Ed moved to Terrace in 1979 to run the Terrace Public Library for 29 years. Ed lived to serve the people of Terrace. He was a very caring, loving, loyal person, willing to help anyone. Ed married Wendy Berg in 1993. After being a bachelor for many years he “loved being married�. His enthusiasm for life and friends was shown through all his contributions at the library, bush league hockey, the library Bookworm softball team, the ham radio club, The Heritage Park Museum, his technological and car advice, and his passion for all things sterophile. A great reference man, Ed will recently be remembered for constantly pulling out his i-Pod Touch and Googling for answers to all kinds of questions. Ed was thoughtful and kind. More than anything he liked to tease and make all of us laugh. Ed was predeceased by his father John Dennis Curell. Ed leaves behind his loving family, mother Joan, wife Wendy Berg, step-daughter Katrina O’Byrne, brother Patrick (Rosineli) Curell and nephew John, brother Steve (Lori) Curell and nieces Morgan & Ali, father-in-law and mother-in-law Erling & Margaret Berg, sister-in-law June (Sam) Pullano, brother-in-law Allan (Amy) Berg, Aunt Audrey Cole and family in Alberta, Aunt Patricia Barnes and Uncle John (Anne) Perry and their families in England, numerous nieces and nephews, and his life-long friend Ray (Joyce) Shimokura. Ed was close to his family and was great at keeping in touch with everyone. He is greatly missed by his family and numerous friends. Ed will always be in the hearts and minds of those who knew him. CELEBRATION OF LIFE will be held at The Terrace Arena Banquet room at 2:00 pm, May 10, 2014. Donations can be made to R.E.M. Lee Foundation, The Heritage Museum Society or Terrace Public Library.

“Northern Gateway’s Habitat Restoration Plan will ensure that caribou ranges are left in better condition than they were found.” - Paul Anderson, President of RPS HMA and Northern Gateway’s Director of Environment
Meet the expert:
Northern Gateway understands and respects the important northern environments. The caribou ranges present a set of challenges that we will meet with world-class solutions and sensitivity. WE TURNED TO LEADING EXPERTS FOR ADVICE Northern Gateway consulted with experts like Paul Anderson to help us develop caribou habitat plans. Paul has more than 25 years of experience supporting major projects and has extensive knowledge of regulatory and stakeholder engagement practices in Canada. Over the past five years, Paul has been responsible for developing the environmental and socio-economic impact assessment for the Project. “There have been a multitude of industrial projects over the course of the last few decades that have put tremendous pressure on caribou habitat and populations.” Based on the experts’ recommendations, Northern Gateway has committed to detailed caribou habitat assessment and restoration
plans that go beyond requirements. One of our commitments in British Columbia is to build the pipeline on or adjacent to previously disturbed lands, where possible, in the ranges of the Narraway, Quintette, Hart and Telkwa caribou herds. Overall approximately 70 per cent of the proposed pipeline route utilizes previous disturbances. Furthermore, Northern Gateway has committed to reclaiming these areas of previously disturbed land by planting trees, creating berms and otherwise restricting access for predators and hunters along the right-of-way. Our goals for habitat renewal will be accomplished through close consultation and communications with federal and provincial regulatory agencies, local stakeholders and Aboriginal communities. CONDITIONS FOR THE BETTER Northern Gateway’s voluntary commitments to undertake specific mitigation for the protection of caribou and caribou habitat were endorsed by the Joint Review Panel. They are now reflected in 16 of the 209 conditions that we must meet for Project approval. Paul adds, “Northern Gateway’s Habitat Restoration Plan will ensure that caribou ranges are left in better condition than they were found.” This is another example of how Northern Gateway is doing everything possible in order to build a safer, better project.
