Camp plan advances

Wednesday, April 23, 2014

By JOSH MASSEY

PLANS FOR a work camp to accommodate up to 400 people advanced April 14 with city council giving third readings for changes to bylaws and to the city's official community plan for the facility to be located on the city-owned Skeena Industrial Development Park located just south of the Northwest Regional Airport. Councillors also got a look at maps of where the camp would be located and took comments from adjacent land users and others. The camp is to be run by Falcon Camp Services of Prince George for people working on the Pacific Trails Pipeline and Chevron/Apache Kitimat LNG plant at Kitimat. It's to be located on land at the industrial park just purchased by the Kitselas First Nations' Development Corporation (KDC) and then leased to Falcon Camp Services. Current plans have the camp at between 200 to 400 people, but the company said that number may grow in the future. At the public hearing, city planner David Block presented questions posed by the Kitselas Development Corporation regarding the city's $500 fee it would charge for every bed at the facility over a total of 500 to a maximum of 3,000 beds allowed, which was contained in the zoning bylaw amendment for permitted uses on the heavy industrial lands. This section of the land agreement is designed to build a fund towards affordable housing but the KDC wondered why the city wasn't going to share some of those profits in the spirit of the airport lands agreement struck between the Kitselas and the city that outlines a profit sharing regime. It wondered if the city would share the fee with the corporation and if that fee would apply to other work camps on city-owned land. In reply, Block said the fee is meant to finance city-initiated affordable housing efforts and that the city was not entertaining any other work camp proposals within its boundaries. A permit for the location was granted April 14 but it was not an approval for the camp but instead only for equipment storage, pipeline pipe storage and for offices, he said. The report to council also contained a statement from KDC general manager Jim Dopson.

Businesses encouraged to open on Sunday By ANNA KILLEN THE TERRACE Downtown Improvement Area (TDIA) is setting its sights on Sunday shoppers and encouraging businesses to consider staying open on Sundays. There is already a small core of businesses open on Sundays, said TDIA representative Dennis Lissimore, but TDIA would like to see that core grow. “With the construction stuff and all of the new people coming to

town, people coming in from Kitimat and Aiyansh and other places, and lots of people working now, for a lot of people the only day they have to shop is Sunday,” he said. “We're not going to see a huge majority of people opening on Sundays right away, that's not going to happen. But as the economy picks up around here, there is an opportunity.” TDIA has been doing work with Rogers Brooks International, a downtown business area consult-

ing company, and studies cited by that body show that “about 70 per cent of all shopping is done on the weekends and after 5 o’clock at night,” he said. But with many of Terrace's downtown businesses not open after 5 o’clock or on Sundays, those shoppers are forced to big box stores. The Skeena Mall is also open on Sundays. “We do have a core of businesses that are open now, and it's improving,” he said, noting that one problem is that it takes time to

build up a Sunday customer base. While it's a slow process, some of the businesses that have been opening on Sundays say it was becoming their second or third busiest day of the week, he said. “That starts to add up when you start to have some good Sundays in a row,” he said. “You know, Bechtel was bringing two or three busses of people in here, dropping them off Sunday morning and they're basically here all day in town and very few businesses open.”

Staffing is one issue businesses note when considering opening on Sundays, he said, with some smaller businesses staffed by families who like to have the day off together. “But that being said, there is opportunity for business on Sunday, so hopefully there's kind of that tradeoff of people wanting to take advantage of [more shoppers in the area],” he said. TDIA will be posting signage on open businesses and more downtown activities are in the works.

AN EARLY morning fire April 12 on Larch Ave. in Thornhill is being called suspicious by Terrace RCMP. Damage is estimated at $200,000.

Police probe blaze TERRACE RCMP are investigating a suspicious structure fire in Thornhill that resulted in more than $200,000 damage on Saturday morning April 12. “It is fortunate that the homeowners woke up when they did and nobody was injured in this fire,” said Constable Angela Rabut. “The cause of the fire is undetermined. If anybody has any information about this incident, contact the Terrace RCMP immediately,” she said. Terrace RCMP were called to assist Thornhill Fire Department

with a structure fire on the morning of April 12 in the 3600 block of Larch Ave. The homeowners were asleep when a loud noise was heard at approximately 6:15 a.m., police report. The homeowner discovered the nearby shop completely engulfed in flames. The fire spread to parts of the house and damage is likely beyond repair. The shop and contents, two quads inside of the shop, and two vehicles parked in front were completed destroyed. A third vehicle parked in front sustained

damage. A nearby residence also sustained minor damage from the heat, police said. People with information on this incident are asked to contact the Terrace RCMP at 250-6387400 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers by telephone at 1-800-222-TIPS, online at www.terracecrimestoppers.ca or by texting TERRACE plus your message to 274637 (CRIMES). If your information leads to an arrest, you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

Accused man released on bail A MAN charged with the second degree murder of his father has been released on bail. Jeremy Price, 19, was first granted bail with a surety of $50,000 in supreme court here on April 16 but that surety was removed the next day. Under bail provisions, a surety takes the form of a guarantee an accused will be present for

subsequent court appearances until the case is concluded. A ban on publication prevents the release of any more details from the bail hearing. On March 29, Terrace RCMP reported that they, along with the North District Crime Unit, were investigating a sudden death in Terrace. Police and other emergency

vehicles descended on the 4600 Block of Goulet on the city’s southside. The following day, police identified the victim as Clifford Price, 50, and said that his son Jeremy had been charged with one count of manslaughter. The charge was later changed to second degree murder.

Arrival of spring heralds what looks to be a record construction season WHAT PROMISES to be one of the busiest residential construction seasons in at least a decade is underway in the city. And no one is more familiar with what’s going on then the city’s senior building inspector Bruce Miller who has lived here for nearly 10 years. “The highest I’ve seen since I’ve been here is 26 houses, I think it was in 2007, and that was a very busy year. Two years in a row we had 25, 26 houses and we are going to have more than that this year judging from people coming and talking to us.” In March, five building permits were granted by the city for single family residential development and Miller said he expects that number to rise as spring carries on. Home builds are now going on at a number of different places, ranging from newer or new subdivisions to empty lots on established streets or on lots where older homes have been demolished. “I know there are a whole whack of people with house plans they are working on that I don’t have yet,” Miller said. But part of the building boom will include multi-unit residential, something that’s been rare up until now. In March, a permit was granted for a $1.26 million, nine-unit complex at 2707 Kalum St. on the southside, just north of the intersection of Kalum St. and Haugland Ave. So far in April another three permits were granted for developments on Davis St. and Tuck Ave. – two for

rooms each. The plan is to sell these units at reasonable market rates, with estimates currently at $285,000. A clause in the strata sales contract will allow purchasers to rent out units. Deep Creek Masonry’s regular crew is doing the work, and hasn’t experienced a labour shortage. “It’s good, he’s got his normal crew,” said Virginia Goddard of husband Kevin. “A regular good group of

guys that have been working for many years together. If Deep Creek Masonry is looking for buyers in the $285,000 range, local developer Kevin Kennedy and two out-of-town partners have higher-end clients in mind. They’re behind the nineunit townhome complex at 2707 Kalum St. on the southside and soon, an eightunit townhome complex on the corner of Graham Ave. and Kenney St., also on the southside and kitty corner to the city’s public works offices and yard. Each unit will have three bedrooms and three bathrooms and, if wanted, they’ll be fully furnished. Kennedy isn’t sure yet if the townhomes will be rentals or if they’ll be sold. “We want to see how the market goes and right now there’s a lot of demand for rental properties,” he said. The intended clientele could very well be people connected to large industrial projects who need long-term accommodation. “There’s a demand for that type of housing,” Kennedy said as to why the units are being built now. “It’s safe to say the real estate environment is changing up here.” Foundations have already been poured and framing is underway at the Kalum St. site. Kennedy and his partners are also building a singlefamily home on the bench. He hopes the Kalum St. units will be finished by the middle of September and the single family home done by late summer.

ple at $175,000. It’s on the Okanagan Lake waterfront close by a major hotel, casino, walking paths and sports complex. There is a monthly maintenance fee. Someone selling a home here for $350,000, not an untypical price nowadays, can buy 224-511 Yates Road in Kelowna’s Glenmore area. It’s just minutes from two well-appointed shopping centres and no more than five minutes from Orchard Park Mall, the central Okanagan’s largest shopping complex. Built in 2008, it’s a strata townhome of 1,156 square feet with an attached garage

and comes with all appliances – all for $300,000. “It’s a good price,” says listing Kelowna real estate Lisa Moldenhauer. “The seller is getting married and is motivated.” And after a long winter in Kelowna and an even longer one on the Prairies, there’s a pent up demand for housing in Kelowna, she adds. “Right now 20 per cent of our buyers are coming from out of the province,” said Moldenhauer. The kind of demand now being experienced in Kelowna and environs is near the level it was in 2008 prior to the recession which affected the market there, she said.

twin 8-unit buildings, each of two floors, and each valued at $800,000 located at 4719 Davis St.; and one for a five-unit extension to the Tuck Ave Seniors Home at 4623 Tuck Ave. valued at $433,500. Miller said the Davis St. development appears to be the largest Terrace will see built this year with other units proposed once the first 16 are complete. The 4719 Davis St. proj-

ect belongs to Deep Creek Masonry, the same company that built the popular seniors-oriented Maple Estates just behind the former farmers market location. There’s already a waiting list of people interested in purchasing one of the two- or three-bedroom units, which should be ready for market mid-fall, and isn’t targeting a specific age group. “It’s called Sleeping Beauty Estates,” said Vir-

ginia Goddard, of Deep Creek Masonry, noting the units will have a view of the mountain of the same name. Foundation work has recently started on the project to be built in two phases – 16 to start and 12 units to follow. The 1,200 square foot lower level condos will feature two bedrooms and carports, and the 1,500 square foot upper level condos will be three-bedrooms. Both will have two bath-

WHAT SEEMED almost unimaginable even three years ago has arrived. Property prices here, if not yet on the same level as Kelowna’s, are pretty darn close – so close, in fact, it’s now feasible for people to sell their home here and buy a retirement abode in the central Okanagan city with no, or very reasonable, added cost. “Absolutely. We’re surging forward and down there, they’re falling back. The gap is closing,” says John Evans from Remax Terrace. Clients here recently sold an 18-year-old home for $490,000 and purchased a brand new home

in the Okanagan, with a view of Okanagan Lake, for $500,000, he said. “And because it is new, they will pay GST but it is an example of what is possible,” said Evans. Locals selling homes for less than the above example won’t have much trouble finding something affordable, all things considered, in Kelowna either. There are numerous apartment-style units on the market in the central Okanagan in the under $200,000 range, the posted average selling price for older and smaller homes in the Terrace area.

Wednesday, April 23, 2014 Terrace Standard

EDITORIAL

Loggers IN THE darkest days of the local economy in the not-so-distant past then-city councillor David D. Hull came out with a telling quip at a council meeting. Perhaps, said Mr. Hull, a loaded logging truck should be put into the Riverboat Days parade that year just to show youngsters what was once the area’s dominant industry. He may not have been far off. Skeena Sawmills at that time was shuttered. The big mill, Skeena Cellulose, had been dismantled. Families, or at least the prime breadwinner, had moved on to booming Alberta or to northeastern B.C. But the essential DNA of the area remained of the generations of people who got up every morning and went to the mills, the truckers who braved rough roads pushed through the forest to bring out the trees to the mills and the loggers themselves who brought down those trees. Aside from the stories told in coffee shops, around the kitchen table or, sadly, at funerals and wakes, there’s never been any specific way to acknowledge or remember those who were killed on the job. That’s changing just beside the tiny chapel at Usk thanks to Bill McRae. There, on Sunday, April 27 at 2 p.m., a stone memorial will be blessed. Contributions of labour, services and material that have gone into the memorial are evidence, as much evidence as the project is itself, that those who died on the job have not been forgotten.

Needlepoint survives to this day

ormer finance minister Jim Flaherty’s law firm supported mothers in the workplace before flex time became commonplace. This glimpse of Flaherty was expressed by a lady lawyer who articled as a student with his firm some three or more decades ago. Hearing her story made me realize how lucky I was that my last salaried job was with a manager who let me adjust my hours to fit in my family so long as I kept his office humming. He even let me stay home to heat the house with the woodstove when a hydro outage closed the school for a day, and when a February storm closed the school for a day . How I came to be in his employ was purely happenstance. I met Randy when he walked into the lawyer’s office where I was struggling with my first electric typewriter. Despite years as a medical secretary, I was stuffing my waste basket with spoiled quadruplicate forms, feeling inept and unhappy. As he waited to see the

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI lawyer, he struck up a conversation, ending with, “How would you like to work for me?” He offered me $250 more per month, an office with a manual typewriter and only five blocks from my home. So I became sole office staff for Williams Moving, located then on River Drive across from the Crescent Street intersection in Thornhill. At the time, our girls were attending Copper Mountain School. By letting me start work half an hour late I could see them off to school. At noon I biked home to lunch with them.

When I’d arrive at 8:25 a.m., Randy would be leaning on the windowsill, drumming his fingers, car keys in hand. The window was the only one in the building, behind my desk in a tiny front office equipped with a large oak desk, a four drawer legal filing cabinet, a teletype machine, and a long wooden table with a drip coffee maker and china mugs. Here drivers congregated for coffee and tale swapping, peppered with cuss words. I asked Randy to banish the cussing to the warehouse; he did. Paperwork involved in moves was largely handled by head office in Vancouver. By mid morning my typing and filing would be done, coffee mugs scrubbed clean with Comet. The rest of the day I just had to be there, waiting for the phone to ring or someone to stop in. Either rarely happened. My biggest task was staying awake. To occupy my time, I took my Singer sewing machine to the office and sewed kids’ slacks from Simplicity patterns. Once I repaired a cus-

tomer’s damaged sofa (by then I had been upholstering evenings and weekends for months). And one August afternoon, I sanded chair legs outdoors while our girls played. After I ran out of small tasks, I hit upon needlepointing a picture of a Williams van to decorate the office. I traced the Williams logo from the side of a mattress packing box, transferred the design to a rectangle of needlepoint canvas measuring about 3 x 4 feet, and began needlepointing a Williams van in red, white and black wool against a blue map of Canada with two blue arrows curving around the map, on a golden background. One long haul driver made a point of peeking over my shoulder to check on the design’s progress whenever he came in for coffee. The picture took me most of the winter months to complete. Needlepoint wool cost $85, plus canvas. Randy opted to pay those costs and when the job was done, he had it blocked and framed under glass. Today it hangs in the coffee room of Williams Moving’s Terrace branch #539.

The Mail Bag Pipeline support lukewarm at best

Dear Sir: A top item in the news section of the April 2 edition of The Terrace Standard bears the banner headline “Chamber board supports Enbridge project”. While technically correct, it is, I believe, misleading. It takes a careful reading to get a true picture of how the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce actually feels about Gateway. “The board is the voice of the members, and we represent the members,” you quote chamber president Janice Shaben as saying. But, according to your article, only 40 out of 290 members voted, and of those just barely 50 per cent supported Gateway. My rather rustic arithmetic says that’s just 20 out of 290, or only a trifle more than 7 per cent member-support for Enbridge’s project. That’s hardly a ringing endorsement of Ms. Shaben’s contention, or of the Standard’s chosen headline, is it? John How, Terrace, B.C.

Loved the Kings in the Coy Cup

Dear Sir: We went up to Williams Lake from Lillooet to support the Terrace River Kings team in the Coy Cup. We went and watched a couple of games in Lac La Hache, too. I would like to say, “good job, boys.” Terrace, you should be proud of the team you have. They worked hard until the end. They played very well. It was a real pleasure to go watch them. Be proud, guys. Debbie DeKelver, Lillooet, B.C.

REFINERY PROMOTER David Black holds jars of bitumen, a product he says is too dangerous to ship by sea. It’s far better to send refined petroleum products overseas instead, he says.

Jobs vision could be blurred Dear Sir: With Kitimat Clean, David Black proposes “reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions” (Ship crude by sea? Dangerous Nonsense, Column, The Terrace Standard, April 9, 2014). Laudable, but is it green-

wash? The end use of KC’s product will augment GGE, and the tar sands, KC’s source, has its own sorry story with more than just global warming. Moreover, the threat of Northern Gateway is in no way reduced.

Need for caution on Mr. Black’s argument appears most graphically when paint from his green brush gets in his eyes and he contradicts himself: his claimed jobs “in excess of 50 years” two paragraphs later becomes “good permanent jobs.” Vision can so blind us.

If he wishes “far better for the global environment”, Mr. Black could invest in conversion to fixed rail transport and plastics alternatives: extraordinary job creation, with a safer future. Dr. David Heinimann, Terrace, B.C.

Low chamber survey response a calamity

he Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce surveyed its members on the subject of the Enbridge Northern Gateway project. It sought their views on 10 specific statements and one key statement. That key statement was: “I support the Northern Gateway Pipeline project.” The majority of those who responded, 51.3 percent, agreed. The survey was free of bias and ambiguity, but some aspects of it are nonetheless disturbing. The response to the survey’s key statement is perplexing when considered alongside the responses to the other statements. These other statements fall into four groups: political (1, 3 and 7, concerned with the review process); environmental (2, 5 and 6, concerned with environmental risks); social (4, concerned with skills training), and economic (8, 9 and 10, concerned with the economic impact). The political group of statements was supported by 59.4 per-

cent of the respondents; the environmental and social groups of statements by 72.9 percent, and the economic group of statements by 66.9 percent. Two thirds of the respondents, 67.1 percent, agreed with the 10 statements addressing the project’s specific aspects. When a project’s political, environmental, social, and economic parameters are supported by a two-thirds majority, one would expect strong support for the project itself. Why then was Northern Gateway endorsed by a majority of only one vote? Are there parameters to this project which the survey failed to address? Is the identity of the proponent, Enbridge Inc., rather than the project itself the reason for the respondents’ hesitant support? Is there a problem with Enbridge Inc., or is there an unspecified problem with the project? The chamber initially decided that the survey would need 50 percent participation for the results to be valid. At 14 percent, participation fell far short of that

GUEST COMMENT

ANDRE CARREL goal, but the chamber decided that the rate of participation satisfied statistical survey requirements and it released the results. Survey results expressed in percentages are clouded by an illusory quality when small numbers are involved. The 51.3 percent majority in this case does not tell the community that if only one member had voted to oppose rather than to

support the project, the headline would have been “Chamber opposed to Enbridge project.” Project proponents welcome the chamber to their list of supporters. Had only one member responded no instead of yes to the key statement, the project’s opponents would have embraced the chamber. Northern Gateway is arguably the most significant investment proposal the northwest has faced in living memory. The project’s magnitude and its economic, social, cultural and environmental impacts extend beyond our national borders, and its merits have been debated for months. That only 14 percent of the Chamber’s members participated in the survey is a calamity. The investment decisions will not be made in Terrace, but in Calgary, New York, London, and perhaps Beijing. The political decision to give the project a green light or to kill it will be made in Ottawa in consultation with Victoria. The critical decisions on this

project will not be made by the chamber. The results of this survey will not be a decisive factor. However, the chamber of commerce is the community’s voice in matters relating to the local economy, and as such it lends legitimacy to proponents as it would have done to opponents, but for the decision of a single member. The chamber’s role exacts a responsibility on its members which goes beyond paying membership dues, just as the responsibility of citizenship entails more than paying taxes. It is the members’ responsibility to ensure that their contact information on the chamber’s membership list is up-to-date. And when the chamber of commerce undertakes a membership survey, members have a duty to participate. As members you owe it to your organization, to your community, and to the people who are your customers. Andre Carrel is a retired public sector administrator living in Terrace, B.C.

Gitxsan step up dispute A NORTHWEST First Nation is accelerating its dispute with the federal and provincial governments over lands to be assigned to other First Nations as part of treaty deals by threatening to stop talking to natural gas pipeline companies. In a release issued April 17, the Gitxsan say the two governments have no business providing lands they claim to the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum, two Tsimshian First Nations. They’ve given the two governments until June 21 to withdraw the offer of the lands that will make up final treaties for the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum.

The lands in dispute are to the east and north of Terrace. Both the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum approved agreements in principle with the federal and provincial governments last spring, paving the way for final treaty negotiations. “These offers by both governments are unconscionable and without proper notice to the affected Gitxsan Simgiigyet [Chiefs],” said Gitxsan negotiator Bev Clifton Percival. She said a court case dating back to 2002 indicated the Gitxsan have grounds to lay claims to the lands. And she said the Gitxsan aren’t even

sure exactly how much of their 33,000 square mile territory is affected because they’ve never been presented with proper maps. But the area does take up two of nine watersheds claimed by the Gitxsan, territory Clifton Percival said it would never surrender. “In our language we don’t have a word for share or [land claims] overlap,” Clifton Percival said. “This is a biased process. They’re showing a bias and they shouldn’t.” Clifton Percival did say there was provision for restitution for lands and resources taken but first, all of the parties need to be involved.

From front

our interests,” she said. Three natural gas pipelines are planned to go through Gitxsan territory should their respective liquefied natural gas plants be built. Two of those pipelines are meant for projects near Prince Rupert and the third, a looping of the existing Pacific Northern Gas line to feed proposed small scale liquefied natural gas plants at Kitimat. The June 21 date is also National Aboriginal Day.

She said the Gitxsan frustration extends to the Kitsumkalum and the Kitselas, adding they’ve never spoken directly to the two Tsimshian communities. Tying its disagreements with the two governments to natural gas development is a way to express Gitxsan frustration of having the two governments willing to take Gitxsan land for others, Clifton Percival continued. “We all have interests and we will defend

City aims to crack down on parking spot violators By JOSH MASSEY CITY COUNCIL is moving to crack down on parking violations in an attempt to reduce the number of drivers taking up disabled parking spaces. The April 14 regular council meeting was the second since Christmas where parking issues were raised, the discussion concluding with councillor Lynne Christiansen tabling a motion that staff look into possible enforcement strategies including random vehicle checks initiated either by the RCMP or by increasing the hours worked by a municipal bylaw officer. A presentation by resident Helmut Giesbrecht initiated the discussion. Giesbrecht listed off a number of situations where he had found parking spots already taken up by vehicles without handicap permits. “My adventures into the issues of the handicapped is actually quite recent,” Giesbrecht told council, leaving his walking aid by his chair to stand at the podium. “So I am keenly aware of the issues people face.” “I’ve had a number of experiences I could go into, sometimes in the course of a single

SYMBOLS LIKE this are not always obeyed. day, issues that I can’t understand how they could be allowed to continue.” He said there is a reluctance to report parking violations on the part of business owners and that a $40 fine as dictated by provincial traffic laws and $25 municipal fines are not enough to be an effective deterrent. “Parking downtown is a problem. There is no enforcement of any kind since about the 1990s,” said Giesbrecht, a former Terrace mayor and MLA for the provincial Skeena riding. Councillor Marylin Davies said it is frequently the case that she notices taxi drivers parked in spots for the disabled. “One of the worst

offenders are the taxis. They will park in every handicap parking space they possibly can,” she said. Davies added that some downtown businesses have complained about the high percentage of parking spaces reserved for special needs. At a council meeting earlier this year, councillor Brian Downie had suggested using undeveloped space on the old Co-Op lands on Greig Ave. for parking, and there had also been discussion at the Terrace Downtown Improvement Area Society (TDIA) about trying to promote a policy that will free up locations for parking in the downtown core. While the April 14

debate focused on the problems with disabled parking violations, a meeting earlier this winter looked at congestion in downtown spots because employees of downtown businesses and others were parking there for extended periods. Councillor Bruce Bidgood said that a comprehensive parking review is in order. “Perhaps it’s time we looked at parking as an issue for at least the downtown area or the horseshoe area,” he said. Christiansen and councillor Stacey Tyers both agreed that a blitz to fine offenders could work, although doubt was cast upon the municipality’s actual powers to do so. Councillor James Cordeiro said checking would be easy enough and that TDIA wants enforcement. “It doesn’t have to be a full-time person,” said Cordeiro. “You just need one person with a stick with chalk on the end and they can do one street at 11, then again at two o’clock.” Tyers also suggested leaflets or stickers that could be dropped on offenders’ cars that say, “put yourself in my place, please don’t park in my space.” However,

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

Museum awarded THE NISGA’A Museum and its director have been honoured with an award for outstanding cultural centre and attraction from the Aboriginal Tourism Association of BC. The award, given to museum director Darrin Martens, recognizes a cultural/interpretive centre or attraction that is committed to ensuring cultural authenticity in sharing knowledge, histories, exhibits and traditions, and was handed out at the International Aboriginal Tourism Conference in Whistler April 16. “On behalf of the Nisga’a Museum Advisory Committee and our staff team, I am both honoured and humbled by this recognition,” said Martens in a release. “The Nisga’a Museum strives to not only promote inclusion and cultural authenticity within the institution’s permanent and temporary exhibitions, public, school and special event programs, we advocate for a multiplicity of voices, both inter-generationally and culturally throughout the museum. Through dialogue, mutual respect for ideas, the honouring of history and tradition, we reflect the changing and diverse communities that we serve.” The Nisga’a Museum and its collections are directly related to the historic Nisga’a Final Agreement – the museum’s permanent collection is 300+ artifacts and art objects that left the Nass Valley in the latter part of the 19th Century and early part of the 20th Century. Through the treaty process, a select number of objects were identified

and chosen from the collections of the Royal British Columbia Museum and Canadian Museum of Civilization to be repatriated to Nisga’a territory. This unique collection of carved masks, bentwood boxes, headdresses, soul catchers, and other works of art became known as Anhooya’ahl Ga’angigatgum’ – the Ancestors’ Collection, which is a focal point within the museum. The museum is recognized, within the Nisga’a language, as Hli Goothl Wilp-Adokshl Nisga’a, which means “The Heart of Nisga’a House Crests,” a name that acknowledges and celebrates the importance of the four tribes that make up the Nisga’a nation. Each of the four tribes, or Pdeek, has a crest, or Ayukws, an animal that symbolically represents each tribe. They are Ganada (raven), Gisk’aast (killer whale), Laxgiik (eagle) and Laxgibuu (wolf). The museum displays and incorporates all the Nisga’a crests and the people they represent within its permanent exhibition, the Ancestors’ Collection. Through awards such as this the Aboriginal Tourism Association of BC recognizes the outstanding achievements of Aboriginal businesses and industry partners. “We take great pride in our museum, and the recognition expressed by this award. The opening of the museum marked the return of our ancestors to our homeland. In honour of their memory, we graciously accept this award,” said Mitchell Stevens, president of the Nisga’a Nation.

VAL PARR from the Greater Terrace Beautification Society wrestles with more garbage picked up at the annual garbathon held April 13. Nearly 180 people participated this year.

Garbathon cleans up

GARBATHON VOLUNTEERS nearly filled a dumpster and collected lots of metal plus two stoves and a couple of bathtubs. Nearly 180 people were registered for the cleanup and did as much as they could. But there’s still work to do. “Many areas in the communities were not addressed due to lack of time and manpower,” said Val Parr from the Greater Terrace Beautification

Society, which organized the event along with the city and SkeenaWild. “We encourage all community members to get out and do a bit, such as pick up litter around their block, or business owners sweep up around their premises. Every little bit helps.” McDonalds gave out free treats and a litterless salmon barbecue was held at Ferry Island for all participants afterward.

AT APPROXIMATELY 3:30 p.m. on April 13, Terrace Search and Rescue (SAR) Water Rescue Team was asked by Prince Rupert to assist in the evacuation of a family stranded on China Bar in the Skeena River. Their vehicle had become stranded on an isolated gravel bar as tide/melt water in the river began to rise, said SAR president Dwayne Sheppard. The waters were rising fast and the team was told the rising waters would completely cover the gravel bar in 15 minutes, putting the subjects at risk, he said. Within a next few minutes, the team was paged

and three swift water rescue technicians responded via helicopter down the Skeena River, said Sheppard. Three additional team members responded with the water rescue truck to provide further support, he added. Once on scene, the team used the helicopter to transport the stranded family of five including children, to the larger section of China Bar, which included access to the highway, he said. Police transported the family back to Prince Rupert and the family made plans to retrieve the vehicle the next day, said Sheppard.

Bowlers raise money for Big Brothers THE NINTH annual Big Brothers and Big Sisters Bowl for Kids’ Sake event, with its theme “In the Country” didn’t raise quite as much money as last year but all of the money that was raised stays here in Terrace to support local Big Brothers Big Sisters programs. “We had around 30 participants and raised $6,555 between the event and the auction,” said coordinator-fundraiser Monica Watson of the two hour-event April 6 at the Terrace Bowling Lanes. “Last year, there were 58 participants and we raised $7,720. In reality it’s a lot more with all the in-kind donations and the actual cost of donated auction items.” Lots of door prizes were given out and the Terrace Balloon Man made aliens, spiders and all sorts of other awesome creations for the hour he was there, she added.

Old ‘Heroes’ keep fighting on FOR THE 100th anniversary of the First World War, Terrace Little Theatre presents Heroes, a comedy about old soldiers and their desire to continue to fight for what they believe in even in peacetime. Veterans and heroes of the First World War, Henri, Gustave and Philippe are spending their golden years at a home for old soldiers. Each man has physical and mental effects of the war still with him. It’s the summer of 1959 and each of the men thinks the other two are crazy and may be right. They spend the monotonous days on the back terrace of the home, along with a statue of a dog, who is a character in its own right. They meet daily to quarrel, get on each other’s nerves and plot various escapades until their terrace is threatened and they plan their escape. Baxter Huston re-

You don’t have to start on the road Many of the top road racers in the world didn’t start on the pavement. They started in the dirt. Why? Because it teaches you how to control a bike in less than ideal traction environments. Also, if you fall, it doesn’t hurt as much! You can certainly get your feet wet when it comes to learning clutch and brake control on a “softer” surface, too. Furthermore, you don’t need a learner’s permit if you are riding off road. When and if you want to transition to the street riding, you’ll need it for that. Check out Popkum Motor Park’s Lessons/Training (www.popkummotorpark.com) program for all ages, as well as the BC Off Road Motorcycle Association’s website (www.bcorma.ca) for upcoming MSF Dirt Bike Schools. Another perk to starting to build your bike confidence on the dirt, training programs aren’t as expensive. So, this is me, the little white angel on your shoulder whispering, “Go on, get on two wheels!” But remember, safety is paramount. Take the test, go to school and thank me later. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

driveway Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel competes on performance at a price By Zack Spnecer

The introduction of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee showcased the direction of the new Fiat-Chrysler partnership. It went on to win more awards that any other SUV; in fact, I chose it as one of my favourite vehicles that year. Sales have been strong for not only Jeep but the entire Chrysler group. Freshness has been into each new vehicle and this latest 2014 EcoDiesel version is another example. For this model year, the Grand Cherokee gets a refreshed front and rear, plus interior tweaks and a thrifty diesel under the hood. Looks The most noticeable updates for 2014 include a thinner front grille, narrower front headlights with LED accents. This really makes the latest model pop; especially when you compare it to the last model. The EcoDiesel option is only available in two trim levels, and this an expensive vehicle. The Overland is the cheapest diesel and it starts at roughly $58,000, $3000 more than a V6 model but the same price as the V8. The top of range Summit diesel starts at $62,000. In comparison, the base VW Touareg diesel starts at $55,000 but most of the other German mid-sized SUVs with a diesel, like the ML from Mercedes or the X5 from BMW also start in the low $60,000 range. Inside One of the biggest changes at Chrysler has been the attention to detail now placed on interior design and refinement.

2014 Jeep.

The latest U-connect computer interface is one of the best in the business; many high-end makers could learn a thing or two from Chrysler. The large 8.4-inch screen is one of the biggest on the market and it is very quick to the touch, going from one function to the next is logical and responsive. Pairing a smartphone takes under 30 seconds and the best feature is the map screen, which enables the embedding of a picture in the same way as picture-in-picture TV does. The dash is covered in stitched leather and the cabin overall is simple and elegant. All EcoDiesel models come with leather seats and the back seats can even be heated. Drive The biggest change for 2014 is the introduction of an allnew 3.0-litre direct inject turbocharged V6 diesel engine along with an 8-speed automatic. With 420 lb.-ft. of torque, this engine just rockets away from a light and cruises effortlessly on the highway. There is a big premium to get this engine over a V6, or lower trim level V8 gasoline versions, but there are some compelling reasons to choose it. Fuel economy is number one. This heavy truck is rated at 9.8 L/100km in the city and only 7.0L on the highway. With aggressive driving and mostly city, I averaged 12L. I did notice on highway runs that the fuel economy improved radically and quickly. The towing capacity of the EcoDiesel is the same as the 5.7-litre Hemi V8 at 7200 lbs, but this truck gets substantially better fuel economy. For those that drive a lot without a trailer, the improvement in fuel economy is something to

factor in. If you don’t drive a lot each year, the diesel option might not be worth the added cost. Verdict Chrysler considers the Jeep Grand Cherokee a premium offering but I would not put this on a par with the Mercedes ML, BMW X5, Audi Q5 or a very nicely equipped VW Touareg. It is a very nice truck with as much diesel power and efficiency as the competition but the German brands have been at the whole diesel thing a lot longer and are a known entity in the market. The Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel would be a very easy choice if it were about $50,000, not $58,000. If you drive a lot or tow, the diesel might be worth it, but as it stands now the already capable and luxurious gasoline versions are less expensive and come with all the regular Grand Cherokee goodness. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Confessions of a Curber I guess you could say I was addicted. Only my drug of choice wasn’t coke or meth. No - it was the thrill of getting away with it all. And the easy cash, of course. Throwing the camper into that last deal was a great marketing idea. And, like last time, I decided to branch out again. There’s so much more than just cars! This time I decided to go with a motorcycle. I purchased it off the internet – I guess you could call it a curber-to-curber transaction. Oh, of course I knew every trick in the book by now. The seller gave me my old story and said that he was the real owner. Did I care? Not a chance. It was a nice Harley. And, it was a steal. I knew I could flip it for more. Why? Because I was a better marketer. But I needed to do it fast. And, I had to make sure I had a buyer that was naive enough not to do a lien check through carproof.com, or the province (bcregistryservices. gov.bc.ca). As usual, I put up a generic, one-line Craigslist ad. With a price like mine, I had a buyer within an hour. I made sure the Harley looked its best. I polished it until it sparkled and filled it with gas. Hey, what’s a few bucks? Then I ran into a small problem. I found out that my seller was the real owner. Wow. But he sold me a vehicle that was about to be repossessed.

Fortunately, he was in such a hurry that he didn’t make me do the transfer – so it was still in his name. No big deal. Bridging* was my friend. I just used his name and hoped my buyer would never ask me for ID. And I was right. The buyer smelled a bargain and took the bait like fish. He thought I was the fool! No lien check, no ID check. Just cash. I was home free, again. And the best part? When the bailiff came for the motorcycle, he didn’t even know my name.

*Bridging – A trick that curbers use to keep their identity secret. Curbers will pay more for a vehicle from an unscrupulous wholesaler or broker if they are not required to immediately put the vehicle in their name. This keeps their name out of the vehicle registry and makes them impossible to locate when deals go bad. Breaking the law is never a concern for them.

“The buyer smelled a bargain. He thought I was the fool!”

Sub-compact with big sedan pretensions By Bob McHugh

Mazda’s first foray into the Canadian sub-compact market segment was the 2011 Mazda2, an inexpensive little car that exceeds the quality expectations of most buyers. It was launched in Europe, Japan and Australia in 2007 and won 48 automotive awards, including “2008 World Car of the Year”, prior to its arrival in Canada. Mazda2 comes in just one body style, a four-door hatchback. Considering it’s diminutive proportions, that’s a lot of doors and “easy access” is big part of this small cars’ charm. The trim lines offered were GX, GS, and a top-priced Yozora edition, which was not sold in the US and limited to 500 units

in Canada. The GS trim upgrade includes air conditioning, automatic headlamps, cruise control, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry, trip computer, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, cloth door trim, sport-style cloth seats with red piping, body-colour door handles and mirrors, chrome tailpipe finisher, side sill extensions, body-colour rear spoiler, exterior temperature gauge, fog lights, silver finish interior accents, and six speakers. The Yozora, which means “night sky” in Japanese, is actually a GX trim with air conditioning and a convenience package. Unique theme additions include its black exterior finish with decals, a spoiler, a chrome tailpipe, floor mats and 16-inch alloy wheels with performance tires. The Yozora package also came with a spare set of winter tires mounted on 15inch steel wheels. Power is provided by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine linked to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The small gas engine’s 100-horspower output may sound meek, however, it can move the lightweight Mazda2 surprisingly quick. It’s a silky, smooth free-revving little engine that also sounds a nice sporty rasp from its exhaust at high engine speeds. While there’s nothing wrong with the four-speed automatic transmission, there is a noticeable decrease in overall performance, plus an increase in fuel consumption. The

Its big side mirrors are more visible due to a lowered window belt line at the A-pillar and the low-cut design of the rear window also aids rear vision when backing-up. In addition, Mazda uses overlapping shinglestyle rear seat head restraints to allow the driver an unobstructed view out the extra large rear window. The Mazda2 was unchanged for 2012, except for a minor improvement in fuel efficiency with the four-speed automatic transmission and the deletion of the Yozora edi-

Rugby THE TERRACE Northmen rugby club’s season is about to begin, with a small exhibition 7’s tournament here in Terrace May 3 featuring teams from around the region. The team is getting ready for their first official tournament of the season, Rugbyfest in Edmonton, where they traditionally finish near the top of the standings.

Mountain biking promoted A STRATEGY on how to best bring more tourists to the Terrace area for mountain biking is in development, with representatives from the Western Canada Mountain Bike Tourism Association (MBTA) planning to visit the area later this spring to meet with community members and local stakeholders. Twelve communities, from McBride east along Hwy16 to Terrace, will be involved in the plan’s development, which aims to use market research and best practices from around the globe to encourage more people to check out northern B.C.’s mountain bike scene. “We have a number of communities along that stretch that seem to have invested in trails or have plans for trails,” said Martin Littlejohn, executive director at MBTA.

FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD MAREK Ormerod spends a lot of time at the North Coast gym in Terrace. One of his training partners is Colton Stark, of the Terrace Midget Rep team. “He’s going Junior A for sure,” said Ormerod.

Ormerod goes three for three, makes Team BC FOR THE third year in a row, Terrace’s Marek Ormerod will be playing ball for Team BC this summer. And while playing for Team BC isn’t a first for Ormerod, 15, it is the first time a basketball player from Terrace has made the cut three years in a row. “I was kind of on the fence,” said Ormerod, of whether he attended tryouts expecting to make the team. “It’s tough competition, right? It’s always tough to make the cut, but it’s a relief when you do.” Ormerod was up against 70 other players from around the province at the camp, which was whittled down to 24 and then to 12 over the course of three days at Walnut Grove in Langley. In past years, Ormerod was one of the bigger players at tryouts – but that wasn’t the case this time. “I grew up pretty early, I was an early bloomer. So it was cool to see everyone else grow up, because this is the age,” he said. “So, when I went down there I wasn’t expecting to be big, I wasn’t expecting to be tall. (But I) was actually a mid-size, small kind of guy ... it’s intimidating being around 6’6”, 6’7” guys.” But intimidated or not, he was ready. Training extensively since he was 11, at North Coast gym and Parkside with his coach, Terry Monture, Ormerod’s physique and skills are at a level not typically seen of someone just 15-years-old. But he’s not a typical kid. Aside from

near-daily training and attention to nutrition, supplements, massage therapy, and warm-up and recovery routines, academically, he gets marks in the high 90s and is only one credit shy from graduating high school despite technically being in Grade 10.

“You have a lot of really good cars down there, but he’s got the engine, the tires, the paint job, just everything is there. ” The goal after high school is to study pre-med, neurosciences, and basketball should help to get him there. “Basketball is something to do, keep me in shape, it’s a source of fun for me,” he said. And he’s hoping to widen his net in the future. “I’m hoping that if I can find a way to travel and see different places then I’ll get a bigger perspective of cultures, that’s what I want to do,” he said. Playing for Team BC is not a bad way to start – the team, which typically finishes the season top four, travels throughout the United States, places like Seattle, Portland, California until July before hitting up nationals and Ormerod is out of town nearly every weekend.

His father, Hugh, says it’s a heavy time commitment, but well worth it as basketball is what Marek wants to do – and he’s clearly proved he has what it takes. “He takes initiative,” he said. “And his hard work has paid off.” Both Ormerods credit Monture with helping Marek hone that drive by coaching and mentoring him for over four years. “I’ve probably had about 77 athletes I’ve worked with over the last 30 years and he’s top three for the whole package,” said Monture. “You have a lot of really good cars down there, but he’s got the engine, the tires, the paint job, just everything is there. You just don’t see that at 15.” But it took time and training to get there. “The hours we’ve put in, I don’t even know a number, thousands of hours and that’s why he’s where he’s at today,” he said. “I’ve pushed him at a very high level and he’s accepted it.” Leadership is one of Ormerod’s greatest qualities, said Monture. He’s already mentoring some of the younger athletes Monture is grooming, and he is able to see the floor and understand the game in a way that sets him above the rest – while still being humble. “That’s something I try to instill with all of the guys that I have,” he said. “It’s about being great, being humble, being generous. It’s not just about basketball but it’s about life and being a good person afterwards, and he’s a good kid.”

Six Packs slam competition TERRACE’S GRADE 8 girl’s select volleyball team trounced the competition two weeks ago in Prince George and will be heading to Volleyball BC provincials this week. The 14U Six Packs Volleyball Club went undefeated to finish first in the northwest at regionals Saturday, April 12 in Prince George at New Caledonia, a tournament held to determine the teams’ rankings at provincials in Abbotsford April 25 and 26. The 14U Six Packs club team is the first level of girls club volleyball in Terrace. These players feed into the 15U team which in turn feeds into the 17U team. The team is hoping the strong finish in Prince George will mean they are ranked well at provincials and lead to a good finish to the season. Four 14U teams attended regionals – Kodiaks Black from Prince George, Kodiaks Red from Prince George, Fort Nelson and Terrace’s Six Packs. The Six Packs got off to a slow start in their first match against Kodiaks Black, with both teams struggling with passings. But late in the game Terrace was able to gain a lead and didn’t look back, taking both sets 25 – 12 and 25 – 19. They then faced off against Kodiaks Red. The score stayed close, with Terrace winning the first match 25 – 23 but then falling 25 – 22 in the second match, testing their mental toughness and challenging the team. Terrace took the third

The last round robin game saw Terrace up against Fort Nelson, where they kept up the consistent serving and won 25 – 6 and 25 – 5.

No, he said, we fished the Skeena mostly and the Zimmy too. It took me a few seconds to realize that by “Zimmy” the man was referring to the Zymacord River, that pretty little stream, too vulnerable to be worked by guides. Before I had to enter the little room to be frisked for sharp objects and toothpaste, my new acquaintance filled in some of the details of his exploits with Skeena steelhead. He said that he was flying back to San Francisco, where, shortly after returning, he would be booking another fishing junket to the Skeena Valley.

But in the second set, the Six Packs started to struggle with their second line and called in the first line to return and come from behind to win the nailbiter 25 – 22. Coach Mark Neid and assistant coach Frank Marrelli said they were impressed with the “team’s self confidence

and never quit attitude. The team remained strong mentally and had to battle back in a number of situations to secure their victory. The team served with the most consistency of the season and were able to generate strong attacks. “Many thanks to all of the parents and family members who were able to accompany the team to Prince George (and also those who sent their support by means of social media and text) to cheer us on and assist as needed.”

Study aims to increase bike tourism

“(Those communities) see this as something that has not only been a strong recreational activity locally but now see that this is such a great amenity that they also wish to be able to offer that to visitors coming to each community,” said Littlejohn. “There’s a lot of grassroots passion and enthusiasm to see mountain biking as being an important part of local recreation. “They’ve also created some great trails that people would love to come and experience themselves and learn a little bit more about the communities at the same time as well.” Collaboration between communities and invested stakeholders will be key and MBTA is planning two trips in the coming months, the first in June, to consult with people along the way. “We’re trying to get the word out so we get a good cross-section of the community there to be involved and get feedback from,” he said. They’ll also use these meetings to share some of the research findings and talk about how they would apply to specific areas. With northern B.C. in the headlines, its also a good opportunity for people from around the province to learn more about what this area has to offer, he said. “There’s a lot of attention the north is getting, and hopefully we can encourage people to visit northern B.C. to learn more about it,” he said. “There’s probably a very small of the population in the province that have actually been north of Kamloops even, so if we can use this as a means for more people to experience it for themselves I think that’s a good thing.”

ing beside his pickup downstream of New Remo while her beau fished the Remo Riffle. I pulled over. How has he been doing, I asked. We’ve been at it for over a month without a single fish, she said. It made sense. When the water is low the fish are harder to find and harder to catch when you do find them. They spread out in the expansive tail outs much like they do late in the fall. When the salmon are running in summer, the steelhead are too. The high water pushes them nearer to shore where they are easily covered. All of them are bright and vigorous and more likely to bite in the warmer water. The late winter steelhead are the only new arrivals to the river in the spring. They are far less numerous than their summer run cousins. The rivers of the lower Skeena all have winter and late winter (or spring, if you want) steelhead, but none of those rivers have large runs. In the Internet Age there are no secrets. Word of last year’s hot fishing on the lower Skeena was out in nanoseconds. Anglers from away booked trips. The boat launch at Andesite had six trailers when I went to Rupert recently, and the fishing reports are lousy. Last spring was an anomaly. This year is a normal year. It’s tough fishing with few rewards. The river is stingy. The fish are sluggish. It’s nice for those of us who have endured it to be out after a long harsh winter, but it’s not fishing you want to spend a lot of money getting to.

Parking expands at airport PASSENGER traffic at the Northwest Regional Airport keeps growing with the not-for-profit operation cracking the 200,000 mark for the fiscal year ending March 31. The exact number, 201,636, from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014, is a dramatic increase from the previous fiscal year (April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013) when the passenger count was 142,622. “That’s a difference of 59,014 passengers, a 41 per cent increase,” says airport manager Carman Hendry. That the increase is from last spring to the end of this March reveals the extent of projects either underway or being planned. There’s a push on by Rio Tinto Alcan to complete its Kitimat aluminum smelter modernization project, the Red Chris copper mine up north is due to open in June, BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line, which will feed power to the Red Chris mine is in its final stages and there’s a ramp up by liquefied natural gas companies and pipeline companies as they continue work on preliminary pipeline and plant work. The result is pressure at the airport on everything from the restaurant to parking. “If you want to find a table at the restaurant for lunch, you’d better be there by 11 a.m.,” notes Hendry. More pressing is the need to supply long term parking spots for the hundreds of vehicles left by people departing for extended periods. The parking immediately adjacent to the terminal building is for car rental companies and for day or shorter term stays. A tour of the current long term parking area across the road reveals trucks with new and unfamiliar business names hailing from B.C. and Alberta. Although the airport has asking people to catch rides to the airport to relieve pressure on the parking that’s there now, there’s been a constant demand for parking spots, said Hendry. “We thought we’d get a bit of a break after Christmas, but no,” he said. The demand for parking explains the clearing work on the right hand side of Neubacher Way, the access road from Hwy16 leading to the terminal. When finished, the airport will have expanded its long term parking, making room for a total of 800 vehicles in all. One piece of good fortune is a vein of rock uncovered as trees were removed and heavy equipment and took off the overburden. “We’re bringing in a crusher and that’s going to give us material for the parking lot and to redo Bristol Road East,” said Hendry, the latter referring to the section of Bristol Road containing Hawkair’s offices as well as other aviation companies. There will also be enough material to use in the construction of an additional aircraft parking pad beside the others near the airside passenger entry and exit doors of the terminal building. That’s to better accommodate periods when the four commercial airlines now using the airport have aircraft arrivals and departure as roughly the same times. Best of all for the airport is the savings in material because the rock to be crushed was found on airport land. “We estimate the savings at $340,000 in material costs,” said Hendry. As the airport is expanding its parking space, one of the car rental companies at the airport is also making changes. The National Car and Truck Rental Company is building a vehicle wash and detailing building beside the 747 Air Cadet building. It’ll make operations more efficient.

The KSM Project: Responsible Development This summer, Seabridge Gold expects to hear the decision on its environmental assessment application for the KSM Project, a proposed gold-copper-silver-molybdenum mine located 65 kilometers north of Stewart. The environmental assessment is a mechanism for government to review, identify and evaluate potential effects of a proposed project. Seabridge Gold has been conducting environmental studies on the KSM Project since 2007 and officially submitted the Environmental Assessment Application in February 2013. Since acquiring the KSM Project, Seabridge has made significant efforts to ensure the project has minimal environmental impact. In order to study potential impacts of the project, Seabridge considered baseline conditions in the area including water quality and quantity; fish species and aquatic life; wildlife populations; and plant species, among many other things. At the same time, Seabridge worked with regulatory officials, federal, provincial and municipal governments, local Treaty and First Nations and communities to identify culturally and economically important aspects of the environment, called Valued Components. Seabridge then used technical experts to model and predict the project’s effect on these Valued Components. Finally, based on the predictions, Seabridge made several design changes and proposed mitigation measures to ensure the KSM project leaves a minimal impact. Water was identified as one of 60 Valued Components. Seabridge recognizes water is an important resource, and protecting water is a guiding principle behind the design of the KSM Project. Because higher concentrations of metals occur naturally in the water around KSM, Seabridge has to manage, not only water that comes in contact with mining activities, but other naturally poor quality water in the area. The company has developed an extensive water

management system to protect water at the mine site, and to collect water used in the mining process to be stored and treated.

Business showcase set for the weekend

SHELL CANADA, the main proponent of the planned Canada LNG project at Kitimat, has signed on as a sponsor at this year’s Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce Business Expo. It’s joining returning sponsors TransCanada, which would build the pipeline to carry natural gas to Shell’s plant, Spectra Energy, selected to build a natural gas pipeline to a planned LNG plant near Prince Rupert, AltaGas from Calgary which has its own LNG plans for Kitimat, and regional airline Hawkair. Chamber manager Carol Fielding said the list of sponsors reflects the potential for a liquefied natural gas industry in the region.

And the participation at the business expo itself does as well, she added. “We have the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission,” said Fielding, which is the provincial natural gas industry regulator. Two out-of-area modular home companies and a scaffolding company have also signed on as exhibitors, she said, a further sign of interest in the area’s economic future. The business expo, to be held at the Sportsplex, will take up both arena floors. “We have 87 booths [in the main arena] and have just half a dozen left,” said Fielding April 16. Booth space in the main arena is dressed

up so as to present a uniform appearance. That’s not the case in the Hidber arena next door where RV and other automotive dealers will set up shop. “In the Hidber they can spread out and that works for them,” said Fielding of exhibitors there. Unlike past years, the business expo will be a two-day event from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on April 25 and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 26. The suggestion not to have a three-day event with a Sunday opening came from businesses who said it was difficult to provide employees for an event that would actually begin on Thursday with set up, said Fielding. “And especially

Trade connects us. Kim, Mike and dedicated CN employees like them keep the goods moving at CN’s Prince George intermodal terminal. Containers are loaded onto trains in Prince George, destined for international markets via Prince Rupert’s Fairview Container Terminal. Partnerships like these mean jobs and prosperity for people in northern BC. Our terminals may be located in Prince Rupert, but we’re building connections clear across Canada—and the globe. Learn about the value of trade at www.rupertport.com/connections.

nowadays, we’re hearing how some businesses are having difficulty finding staff in any event,” she said. Entertainment this year comes from the Terrace Pipes and Drums with a Friday night performance, music arranged by Steve Little on Saturday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Culinary skills will be demonstrated by Northwest Community College students on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. As a sponsor, Hawkair is providing a family trip with accommodation as an overall door prize and individual businesses often have door prizes of their own.

The man is described as Caucasian with blond/grey hair who is between 35-40 years old and who is between five feet nine inches and five feet 10 inches tall.

He’s said to have a skinny body size and was wearing medium blue Levi Wrangler jeans, a black shirt and wearing a red/black/white hat at the time he was discovered.
