Nisga’a in talks for mine money THE NISGA’A Lisims Government is in talks with the province for a share of the mineral taxes to come from Avanti Mining’s planned $1 billion molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast. The talks follow similar agreements struck between the province and First Nations elsewhere in the province where mineral developments are located within traditional territories. Although the Kitsault project is not within Nisga’a lands set out in the Nisga’a Final Agreement it is within the area where the Nisga’a have an influence on development and where they have fishing rights. There’s no indication of how advanced the talks are or of their specific details. “The province is in the process of actively negotiating an [Economic Community Development Agreement] on Kitsault with the Nisga’a and looks forward to concluding the ECDA in the near future,” indicates a statement from the provincial aboriginal affairs and reconciliation ministry. The provincial policy of providing a portion of mineral tax revenues to First Nations dates back to 2008 with the goal that monies provided by use to finance health, education and other programs. In the north, the first such agreement was signed in the fall of 2010 with the Fort McLeod Band to provide it with mineral tax monies from the Mount Milligan copper and gold mine between Fort St. James and Mackenzie which opened last fall. Based on the agreement, the Fort McLeod

Band could receive between $34 million and $38 million over the projected 23-year life of the mine. Also about to start are talks between the Nisga’a and Avanti itself for the latter to provide a share of revenues from the project. Commonly called impact benefits agreements, they can take the form of direct payments, contracts with First Nations companies, other financial assistance and even a share of the project itself. Avanti president Gordon Bogden, in the area last week for a series of meetings, said the company was about to sign a confidentiality agreement with the Nisga’a in advance of the negotiations. “We’re looking at them as partners – shared benefits – as we move forward,” he said. Citing the confidentiality aspect of striking what he referred to as a commercial arrangement, Bogden declined to provide further details. “We are very engaged, with the community [in the Nass Valley] and with the four [Nisga’a] villages,” he said. Nisga’a officials last week declined comment. But they have in the past said they’d pursue revenue sharing with the provincial government. Negotiations between the Nisga’a and the province and, soon, Avanti, follow legal moves taken by the Nisga’a opposing provincial environmental approval last spring of the mine project.

Land sale halt wanted By ANNA KILLEN THE KITIMAT-STIKINE regional district wants the province to freeze the sale of crown land in Thornhill until it’s had a chance to review its land use plan. The plan hasn’t been reviewed since the early 1980s but with pressure growing for residential lots, regional district officials say they want a better understanding of development potential. It’s why the regional district board abstained, for the time being, from supporting a local developer’s application for a direct crown land sale from the province. “It wasn’t anything specifically against the application, but more of a ... hold on, let’s do some forward planning before the

crown sells it,” said regional district planner Ted Pellegrino last week. The regional district now wants to look at how the land uses have changed, what the community needs, and what impacts development would have on water and sewer systems. The specific motion, which passed as recommended by the regional district’s planning committee April 25, dealt with the application by M&M Ventures to purchase and develop the 98-acre crown land parcel which runs alongside the Thornhill frontage road. Plans filed by the local company envision as many as 124 residential lots being placed on the property, phased in 30 at a time until 2020.

Students cut, tape for Hailey THORNHILL PRIMARY school students and classmates of Hailey Pettit, who is undergoing chemotherapy for Burkitt’s Leukemia at children’s hospital down south, capped off another fundraiser for the little girl May 2. Grade 3 student Mikayla Beaudette, 8, decided to cut her hair – only her third haircut ever – and donate it to Angel Hair for Kids and a fundraiser was born. The other students were encouraged to raise money for Hailey and the student who raised the most would get to cut Mikayla’s hair. And if the students raised more than $600, they would get to duct tape teacher Ryan Chapman to the gym wall. So after about a week, they had raised $760.95 and three students had each raised the most: Spencer Ward, Rory O’Reilly and Mary Bell. Mikayla had her hair sectioned off into three ponytails and each of the three students took turns cutting off one section. Then Mikayla attached the first long strip of duct tape to the wall and Chapman – who was standing on a chair – and the other students followed with the teachers finishing up. Mikayla and a teacher removed the chair and Chapman

■■ Flat earth to sleep upon KITSELAS FOREST Products at work on Kitselas-owned land in the Skeena Industrial Development Park, which is being leased to Falcon Enterprises, a work camp company out of Prince George which will house workers for the Pacific Trails Pipeline/Chevron LNG project. Kitselas Forest Products is currently leveling the site.
Creativity on display A CONTEST offering cash prizes for creative ideas wraps up this weekend. Organized by the SkeenaNass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics (SNCIRE), the Northwest Innovation Challenge is looking for ideas to use local resources or other means to benefit the region. SNCIRE has $11,000 in prize money to offer with 10 finalists receiving $250 each to prepare a presentation of the innovation idea to be shown as
a public gathering taking place just after the society’s annual general meeting this Friday, May 9. The innovators and their ideas and displays will be judged on five criteria: strength of Innovation, regional relevancy, impact, appeal of display and enthusiasm. People can vote for their choice and the remaining $8,500 will be given out as cash prizes. First, second and third priz-
es are valued at $1,750, $1,250 and $1,000. A $2,500 Terrace Community Forest prize will got to the most innovative use of a bio-product. A $1,000 UNBC Northwest prize will go to the most innovative entry that addresses the needs and opportunities of Northern BC. Plus anyone at the event can vote for the $1,000 People’s Choice Award. The challenge takes place at 7 p.m. at the Sherwood Moun-
tain Brewhouse, located in the same building as the Creative Zone, just after SNCIRE’s annual general meeting which is also being held at the brewhouse from 5 to 6 p.m. It’ll be the last meeting of the organization which is closing down after failing to secure enough money to keep operating. The prize money comes from a small surplus and is being used with the permission of those who provided it.

Halt wanted on land sale A second development company has also applied to develop the land into a residential subdivision. That company’s identity wasn’t immediately available from the provincial lands ministry. “It’s a large piece of property that’s under application and some land uses have changed over the years,” said Pellegrino, of the property. “There’s also potential to use part of it for something besides residential and how that would transition to the residential use and the existing residential neighbourhood.” There have been some zoning changes to the neighbourhood since the community plan was completed, explained Pellegrino, noting the light industrial zoned parcel next door, which was rezoned in order to address a proposal by Lomak Transport to build a truck shop on the site.
“There wasn’t a whole lot of consideration because at that time there wasn’t any other proposals on that land,” he said. “Now that you’ve got this industrial zoned property next door and we’ve got a proposal for development on the neighbouring lands, then we need to look at it in the context of what the best use is and what’s happened since the community plan was done in terms of how is that area developed.” The review, which will include community consultations, is expected to take about a year and deal mainly with vacant crown land parcels in the Thornhill area, said Pellegrino. Consideration will be given to what the community needs in terms of walking trails, bike paths and green space, potentially using the information collected during the Active Transportation Plan consul-
tations which took place over the last year. The other key aspect of the review will be looking at servicing needs on those lands and the regional district’s ability to provide those services (think: community water, community sewer). “It would have an impact on our infrastructure depending on what the proposed use was,” he said. “We don’t have a community sewer in that area, some areas wouldn’t have a main water line running through...” And while developers could install infrastructure “the regional district is still the one who has to deal with it at the other end,” he said. “For example, it’s our water wells that would supply it. The developer would put in the main line but do we have sufficient capacity in our water system to provide what they need?”
THE PROPERTY on the corner of Sparks and Park where the Christ Lutheran church now sits and the location of the Spa Essentials building at 4814 Lazelle are to be subjects of a rezoning public hearing May 12 by Terrace city council. Principal Construction, which owns the Lazelle Mini-Mall across the alley from the church, has put in a purchase offer on the property under the condition it can be rezoned to be used as a parking lot. The intended use would mean demolition of the church building in the summer. Christ Lutheran Church has been at the location since the mid-1950s and this year marks its 60th anniversary. Declining membership has affected the church’s ability to continue at the location. Also up for comment May 12 is a rezoning application that would see the uses for a building in which Spa Essentials is located at 4814 Lazelle changed to residential, R3 multi-family housing. The property is for sale and the intended purchaser is Manny Hong. The large house is included on the city’s heritage registry and was constructed in 1938 as a single family home by Will Little and became the Dudley and Mary Little residence, and has a “beautiful hardwood stair and bannister,” according to the city website. Its position on the heritage registry means that certain aspects need to be maintained – it “required the owners, current and in the future, to maintain the exterior heritage character of the building.” “The applicant is aware that this building has heritage value, and does not intend to undertake major renovations to the building,” reads information filed on the rezoning request by city officials in advance of the May 12 public hearing.

Pizza place to open TERRACE’S FIFTH pizza parlour is opening up this summer. Domino’s Pizza will be located in the Lakelse Ave. Gobind Mall across from Pita Pit and in between what used to be a Filipino restaurant and a video rental outlet. Vice President Mohinder Singh Takhar of Gobind Enterprises, the company which owns the mall and that will be leasing the space, said that it will be take couple months or so before the space is renovated and the ovens fire up. “At first it was going to be two to three months but it took some time for the permit from the city,” said Mohinder Singh Takhar, in reference to a zoning variance permit needed to install a Domino’s sign at the mall. The variance was needed for a second sign desired by Domino’s in addition to the current group sign shared by the other businesses in the mall, and the setback needed to be changed to allow space for it. The variance permit was granted April 29 by city council at its regular meeting. Domino’s Pizza will join Canadian 2 For 1 Pizza, Checkers Pizza, Pizza Hut and Boston Pizza in the list of Terrace pizza options.

Usk memorial pays tribute to fallen forest industry workers
CLOSE TO 200 people gathered April 27, 2014 at Usk to take part in the dedication of a memorial to those killed while working in the region’s forest industry. The loggers’ memorial, made up of one large boulder placed on top of another and resting on a concrete pad, was the idea of Usk resident Bill McRae Jr. who quickly began receiving offers of assistance. A brass plaque affixed to the bottom boulder reads “In memory of the men who lost their lives working in the forest industry” and a list of names at the memorial was added to by members of the audience as the afternoon went on. “We’re thankful for this idea Bill had in his heart for this memorial,” said Pastor Joel Ringma of the Christian Reformed Church, who conducted a short service. “We celebrate their lives and we remember their death,” said Ringma of the reasoning behind the memorial, which is believed to be the first in the province. Ringma read a passage from Romans Chapter 8: “For we are sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor demons, nor the present, nor the future, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” He then led the audience in the Lord’s Prayer before asking for a minute’s silence. A dedication was read by retired insurance agent Frank Donahue and Terrace city councillor Lynne Christiansen read a message from mayor Dave Pernarowski. Just behind the memorial is a more personal one created by McRae – a crosscut saw and two hard hats nailed to a large tree. A highlight of the afternoon was the unveiling of a larger-than life depiction of a logger, complete with high-topped boots, created out of a cedar log by local chainsaw carver J.J. Jung. Jung said he spent approximately two weeks working on the carving. It’ll be placed close by the memorial.

ANOTHER NAME is added to the loggers’ memorial just off of Hwy16 at Usk east of Terrace.
Backbone of the area By FRANK DONAHUE JUST WHAT is a memorial? We will define it as a lasting symbol of remembrance and tribute to lives ended by those who provided value to friends, neighbours, family and country. And that’s what we’ve gathered here to accomplish. This memorial is also a tribute to those men who survived, having the courage to carry on the work within days of losing a co-worker and friend – knowing there would be a funeral within days. A tribute to the women who prepared lunchbuckets – sending their men off to the bush most often with silent prayers for their safe return. These women became the backbone of the household – handling many daily chores, the finances, family discipline, and this applied to those widows whose men
would never return. There’s the story of a young woman who, while washing her husband’s bush gear, takes in the smells of woods, and remembers her own dad. There are many names once so familiar with the bush – Hobenshields, Adams, Little, Sarich, Long, Houlden, Jackson, Skoglund, and McRae. These were followed by Munson, Elsworth, Hull, Cutler, Almgren, Wood, Takhar, Penner and so many others – even Martin and Ryan – to more current Lax Kw’alaams and Hoi Choi. Yes these were the captains of industry – but check these names and they are among the community builders we respect today. Of course, there are so many others who supported the logging industry and made similar contributions to our prosperity and development, but we don’t pay
sufficient homage to our loggers. And therefore this loggers’ memorial is long overdue. Logging built our roads, schools, public buildings, paid for the infrastructure that allowed our homes and businesses to become reality. Logging provided food on our table, clothes on our back and shelter from the elements. We are the product of a logging community. If you’ve spent time in the northwest, you’ve been touched by logging. Families of the fallen have not forgotten – nor should we. Frank Donahue is a retired insurance agent who spent years providing insurance and others services to forest industry workers. He provided this tribute at the Usk loggers’ memorial dedication April 27, 2014.

Wednesday, May 7, 2014 Terrace Standard
EDITORIAL
Skills THE PROVINCIAL Liberal government continues to hitch its political wagon to the potential for a massive liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry by announcing an ambitious plan to rejig the K-12 education system to emphasize skills training. Political considerations aside, this is good news. Even if two of the promised LNG projects go ahead, there’s going to be a huge demand for skilled labour. Unstated, of course, is the knowledge that if the province does not do more to prepare its citizens for employment, then the jobs will be filled by people from elsewhere. Nowhere is that more evident than in this area where worker accommodation camps are starting to spring up. Witness the preparations underway at the Skeena Industrial Development Park for a camp for Pacific Trails Pipeline workers (this pipeline would feed natural gas to the planned Kitimat LNG plant). Numerous conferences here in the past several years attended by large companies and regional training and social services agencies have emphasized the need to better prepare northwesterners for employment. It would be naive to assume that each and every one of the direct or indirect LNG jobs will be filled by a northwesterner. But in a region of chronic – and historical – unemployment, a concerted effort should and must be made to ensure northwesterners share in any LNG-derived bounty. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

areless waste of any kind pains me, from food to gas to heat. Anyone who grew up surviving prairie winters learned doors should be kept closed as much as possible. I can still hear Dad’s frustrated, “For goodness sake, close the door!” (his words were unprintable) as one of us waited for the cat to trot outside and fog curled over the kitchen floor like a tsunami crashing on shore. This was before the invention of Fiberglas insulation; in minutes, the house could be cooled off. We heated our farmhouse with coal – $40 a ton when a cow was worth about that amount – and wood, scrawny poplars pulled from surrounding bluffs, cut down with an axe or a Swede saw, and hauled home by the sleigh load to be sawed with a 24 inch blade powered by the John Deere. All winter my older brother had the job of carrying into the kitchen every day enough wood for Mom’s range. Hollywood moviemakers fail to appreciate the cost of heating a home. Movie after

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI movie shows actors standing in a doorway while snow falls, leisurely chatting with a visitor or worse yet, walking away into another room leaving the door wide open. I want to shout, “For goodness sake, close the door!” Recently I watched – again – “A Home of Our Own” with Kathy Bates as the mother of her “tribe” of six kids who arranges to buy, on elastic payback terms, a partially built house on an acreage next to a market garden owned and operated by a widowed Chinese man. It’s fall when the family moves into the house which lacks windows, doors, even
one or two walls. The roof is bare rafters. With donated carpentry help, they make the main floor habitable before snow flies, but they only have time to drape canvas over the rafters as a roof and insulate throughout with crumpled newspaper. Bates supports her tribe by working as a waitress. One kid works after school in a neighbouring salvage yard and pulls home on a child’s makeshift wagon useful items such as a wood heater, a bathtub, even a green flush toilet. During an early trip to town, the local Catholic priest invites the family to join his church and take advantage of donated clothing for sale in their thrift shop. Though reluctant to accept any sort of charity, Bates does outfit her family with thrift shop clothing. She draws the line, though, when the priest shows up on Christmas Eve stacked to his chin with wrapped gifts for the family. She meets him at the door, opens it wide, and stands blocking it as she explains her philosophy on charity versus industry. Behind her,

in a room partitioned into bedrooms by hanging sheets, one kid bathes in the bathtub. Three younger kids have just been dried off and stand dressed in nighties. Beyond the priest, you can see a landscape of white and imagine cold rushing in as Bates, a bath towel draped over one shoulder, explains her reasons for rejecting the gifts before finally closing the door. It’s a wonder by then the kid in the bathtub isn’t frozen like an insect in a glass cube. This movie – in this respect – is typical of movies set in New England particularly about rich families. Their stories generally take place a day or two before Thanksgiving or Christmas for greatest drama and conflict. They may drive Ferraris, dress in furs, and be able to afford a gigantic heating bill, but they do nothing to encourage viewers to economize on fuel consumption. Heat allowed to escape into the outdoors is as beneficial as good food thrown into the dumpster. Claudette Sandecki keeps her Thornhill home’s door firmly shut.

SUZY ANNALA-MACDONALD was one of the volunteers undertaking a homeless count in late April for the City of Terrace.
Not heard dumpster story Dear Sir: We’d like to address the April 30, 2014 article on the homeless count and the comment made about Ksan Society shelters. We acknowledge that it’s not a perfect atmosphere for all clients and that some choose to sleep outside. We have two shelters that are funded for 16 beds, each with a maximum capacity of 21. Ksan Residence and Shelter also has overflow for three more people – this makes 45 individuals who we are able to accommodate each night. These shelters require communal living that some people may find difficult to tolerate.
S
We’ve identified three main concerns that may deter people from staying with us: rules at the shelters, personality clashes, and non-tolerance for alcohol/drugs. Regardless of the complex issues, we are often at maximum capacity and have never heard of someone staying in a dumpster instead of one of our shelters. Amanda Bains, Director of Finance and Housing, Ksan Society, Lisa Schmidt, Director of Counselling and Support Services, Ksan Society, Terrace, B.C.
Dear Sir: Hats off to David Black’s clear account of a better way to hold more permanent oil patch jobs in the area. Also it points out the economic deceptions in the Enbridge proposals. Theirs is an economics of lack, generated by corporate self-interest with short term benefits to the area. The times demand we separate the wheat from the chaff. Our economics is in the grip of a totalitarian oligarchy of rule by a few whose interests are selfish and narrow in outlook. They are using deceptive advertising to further their cause. The saving point is that we live in a democracy where we can all exercise our free will. It is a matter of choice and in spite of the magnitude of the infiltration of distorted values, that choice is a simple and easy one. The chaff is an economics of lack where more is never enough. This attitude misses the purpose of wealth which is meant to bring individual happiness and satisfaction. The mind is always agitated in such a state. The wheat is the sweetness of a settled mind, at peace with what one has and a knowingness that future needs will be met. It is a state of abundance where one can live life at peace with ourselves and those around us. As said the choice is an easy one.
Nothing can be done about others but every one of us can choose to place a moment of stillness in our lives at any time, maybe just a few minutes before and after work. It will be found that a few moments of stillness can grow into a bit of peace of mind. It’s very magical. Soon a bit of balance begins to grow in our individual lives and a feeling of satisfaction comes along. It is because out of the stillness all life emerges and that source is ac cessed for us in our quiet moments. It is an easy pleasant moment that makes life worth living again. Cliff Bell Brown, Prince Rupert BC

Donations tell an interesting story
o what does a Conservative party senator from Ontario, the Toronto Blue Jays, an Ontario public sector union and a partowner of the Calgary Flames all have in common? If their chequebook is any indication, they have a keen interest in B.C. politics. Ontario Senator Nancy Ruth donated $5,000 to the BC Green party in 2013, the Blue Jays passed the mitt round the dugout to scrape up $300 for the BC Liberal party, CUPE Ontario gave $500 to the BC NDP and Allan Markin, part-owner of the Calgary Flames, gave $100,000 to the BC Liberals. Who knew folk outside B.C. cared so much? All of this is gleaned from that annual rite of spring: the financial filings of B.C.’s political parties. Each April, B.C.’s registered political parties file their annual reports, offering a glimpse at how the parties are funded and how they spend that money. Most donors to B.C.’s main political parties can be lumped into a few broad categories. There’s the ‘boy, that’s not a shock’ donor group, donations
such as the BC Federation of Labour’s $110,401 to the B.C. NDP or the BCGEU’s $421,802. Although, it may shock a few that the BCTF didn’t give to the NDP in 2013. It’s a long-standing practice of the BCTF not to donate to political parties of any stripe. There’s the ‘what ever were they thinking when they signed that cheque’ donor. Like the $10,000 donation that Torontobased Postmedia, owner of the Vancouver Sun and Province, made to the Liberals. Then there’s the ‘we’ve got money to burn’ donor crowd. West Fraser Mills gave $99,495 to the Liberals and $500 to the NDP. West Fraser was one of two forestry companies recently caught cutting healthy timber meant for future harvests when they were supposed to be harvesting dead and dying pine. The company could have faced a hefty fine, but after assuring the minister in the strongest of all possible terms that it would never ever happen again, scout’s honour, they walked away with a slap on the wrist, as did the other company involved – Jimmy Pattison’s Canfor.
GUEST COMMENT
DERMOD TRAVIS Calgary-based Burnco Rock Products donated $34,000 to the Liberals, bringing their eightyear running total to $219,700. Presumably with a sharp eye on the polls – and after years of giving exclusively to the Liberals – they finally found some moola for the NDP. But talk about cutting it close. With just a week to spare before voting day, Burnco cut two cheques to the NDP totalling $12,500. Burnco has big plans for a large scale gravel mine at McNab
Creek at the northern end of Howe Sound. If it gets the green light, it’ll crush and process gravel 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. And even though it’s hard at work trying to meet the 209 conditions of the Joint Review Panel, Northern Gateway Pipelines still found time to cut seven cheques totalling $23,050 to the Liberals. The New Car Dealers Association of BC gave $180,000 to the Liberals, bringing their nineyear benevolence to $1,061,527. Coincidentally, the only major tax change that survived the transition from the HST to the PST was the 12 per cent sales tax on vehicles sold privately, as in not from a dealer’s lot. RCI Capital gave $6,000 to the Liberals. That’s the company that once had a subsidiary that Premier Christy Clark was once chair of but according to her never once worked for and was never paid for not doing any of that work. The Great Canadian Gaming Corporation gave $24,080 to the NDP, but not so much as a poker chip to the Liberals. That may be the result of the Liberals choosing not to accept
money from gambling companies – at least directly. However, owners are a different matter. Prince George resident John S. Major gave $60,000 to the Liberals last year, bringing his six-year total to $269,390. That’s a lot of chips. Major owns the Treasure Cove Casino. Who knew that professional sports teams were political junkies as well? In addition to the Blue Jays, the Vancouver Giants gave the B.C. Liberals $300, the Vancouver Whitecaps gave $2,500 and the BC Lions forked out $13,150. No doubt about who they were cheering for. And who was the fairest – or most generous – leader of them all in 2013? John Cummins hands down. He gave the BC Conservatives $8,260. Adrian Dix gave the NDP $1,775 and Green leader Jane Sterk gave the BC Greens $645. What about Premier Christy Clark? Well her name doesn’t actually appear on the list of donors who gave the Liberals more than $250 in 2013. Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC, www.integritybc.ca

Rail crossing project LAKELSE LAKE Advisory Planning Commission cost rising sharply
The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine is inviting applications to fill vacancies on the Lakelse Lake Advisory Planning Commission (APC).
THE CITY’S portion of safety improvements needed at the Frank St. rail crossing has gone up again. What was to be a $350,000 project with the city paying 25 per cent of that and the province paying the rest when first laid out last year rose first to $600,000 and is now estimated at $800,000. The extra cost comes from the need to move power poles and CN equipment so the crossing can be widened, said the highways ministry in a statement. Part of that work involves extending a culvert down the length of Howe Creek just to the west of the crossing. It means the city will now have to find another $50,000 on top of the $150,000 that was first budgeted to meet the city’s 25 per cent commitment when the project was to cost $600,000. But city public works director Rob Schibli said grants are being sought from other agencies to buffer the cost. “The City of Terrace is a funding partner with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure on the project, the city will be responsible for 25 per cent of the construction costs and 50 per cent of the ongoing operational costs,” he said. “The construction costs will be divided between the city and [transportation ministry] after all other funding sources have been deducted from the total project costs.” The crossing was closed to vehicle traffic completely for a period last June under orders by Transport Canada after two reports were received of approaching trains encountering long vehicles on the tracks. There isn’t enough room between the rail tracks and the intersection of Frank St. and Hwy16 for a long vehicle to safely come to a stop at the highway intersection. And that means northbound long vehicles end
up blocking the tracks while waiting until it is safe to turn onto Hwy16. The project, which is to be completed this summer, also involves the installation of traffic lights at Frank St. and Hwy16. Those lights will be timed to work in synch with CN’s lights and gate already installed at the Frank St. crossing to eliminate any possibility of long vehicles blocking the tracks when trains are approaching. The result will be similar to the traffic lights at Kenney St. and Hwy16 just north of the Kenney St. Crossing. The intersection was reopened last July after the city and the provincial highways ministry worked out a deal to install the highway lights. Long vehicle restrictions were also emphasized. Businesses along Keith Ave. just south of Frank St. have regarded the Frank St. crossing as an important outlet for long vehicle traffic. Without access to the crossing, long vehicles would then have to use either the Kenney St. crossing or the Sande Overpass further east. “The intersection will be widened and there will be new traffic signals installed similar to the one at Kenney St. which will be integrated with the CN rail signal system,” the highways ministry statement indicates. “The system controls the traffic lights and regulates the traffic flow as traffic approaches the lights giving motorists ample warning of an approaching train.” The statement added that a safer Frank St. crossing for long vehicles will ease traffic conditions at the Kenney St. crossing and on the Sande Overpass. A company called Westcana has been contracted to install the lights and equipment on the project. Preparation work in advance of the lights being installed is underway.
The Lakelse Lake APC is a seven member volunteer commission, appointed by the Board of the Regional District, to advise the Board on land use planning matters at Lakelse Lake. The provincial Local Government Act requires at least 2/3 of the members be residents of Lakelse Lake. Appointments are for a two year term. Interested persons may complete an application form available from the Development Services section of the Regional District website (www.rdks.bc.ca) or from the Regional District office. Alternatively, applicants may submit a letter with a short biography containing name address, occupation, length of residency at Lakelse Lake or area, a description of their involvement in community organizations and reasons for interest in serving on the Lakelse Lake APC.

Bumpy passage eliminated DRIVERS AND cyclists now have a much smoother passage crossing the CN railway tracks at Kenney St. and Hwy 16. The crossing was closed Sunday and Monday so crews could install concrete panels running parallel to the tracks and thus eliminate the bumpy asphalt ridges that had been there. They’re similar to the ones installed on Hwy16 at an old set of tracks running from CN’s mainline across the highway to the Skeena Sawmills location
just west of the Hwy16 and Hwy113 intersection. “The City of Terrace has purchased the pre-cast concrete crossing panels and they are stored at the site,” said city public works director Rob Schibli in advance of the work. “CN Rail has agreed to install the panels at their cost, the city will be responsible for the remaining tie-in works. Under the crossing agreement for the site, the city is responsible for maintenance of the road at the crossing,” he said.

Man ordered to follow conditions
A LOCAL man will not have a record if he follows his probation conditions. Allan Ross Barabash was handed a conditional discharge and probation for one year in provincial court here April 23. Barabash had earlier pleaded guilty to two charges of possession of stolen property under $5,000. On Nov. 15, 2013, Terrace RCMP were called when a suspicious man was noticed trying doors of vehicles parked at the Husky on Lakelse Ave.,

“They’re not safe. But it would only be a problem in an accident.”
Confessions of a Curber I was getting good at this, so I purchased a used vehicle in the U.S. and imported it. It didn’t have any airbags, so the warning lights were on. But I wasn’t picky. I knew, based on my other tricks, I could solve that before I had it inspected and registered. You just couldn’t be too worried about the truth. I Googled airbags. I saw I had three options. Get certified replacements installed at a repair shop. Buy some and install them myself. Or, override the warning light. I called and found that the first option was out of the question. Way too expensive. But, option two had some promise. There were cheap ones online. Of course, there were some warnings about dangerous fake airbags. Option three, overriding the warning lights, went too far – even for me. You can find how-to videos about anything on the web. So, I ordered cheap ones and had them sent to my U.S. mailbox. I used a buddy’s garage and put them in. Bingo! The warning lights went off and I was on my way. Soon, I had an ad up on several classified websites: Great car for sale. Moving out of the country and need to sell fast! Good condition. Recently inspected. Call cell. I’m flexible on price!! I couldn’t believe how many calls I had. I found my buyer not long after. A nice man about my age; divorced with three kids. That’s all I know about him – I don’t like getting too personal. I was actually honest about the vehicle this time. I told him that the car had been in an
accident and was from the U.S. I asked if he wanted a vehicle history report*, but he declined. He appreciated my honesty, as he’d gone through a few bad deals. With the transaction done, we parted ways. Then I got a call from my buddy. Being a curious person, he’d read the boxes the airbags came in that I’d left at his shop. “You installed counterfeit airbags,” he said. “So? They look identical to the original airbags,” I said. “I’ve seen videos of bogus airbags catching fire and with metal bits exploding when they deploy. They’re not safe,” he scolded. I’ll take my chances, I thought. It would only be a problem in an accident. The next day, my buddy left a message. He ended our friendship. Whoa, chill out. A guy’s got a right to make a few bucks.

A real stretch for BMW lovers
A recent jaunt to Beijing was a major revelation, from the sheer size of the population to the massive car market and the types of cars people there like to buy. In the luxury segment, elongated versions of existing sedan are very popular. There “long” wheelbase cars instantly show that the owner has attained a certain level of status and a big part of that is being chauffer driven. In Canada, we have long wheelbase sedans but typically, they are top models like a BMW 7 Series or S-Class Mercedes. In China, even base models like the BMW 3 Series or Audi A4 have stretched versions. I raise this because the allnew BMW 335GT is the long wheelbase 3 Series, developed for China, modified for a niche market here. Looks Adding 10 cms of additional legroom to the back seat

of the 335GT opens up a different experience for rear passengers. The GT offers slightly higher seating position and roofline with a hatchback design that makes for a dramatic and functional car. BMW does have a 3 Series station wagon but it looks like a wagon, this design mimics a sedan silhouette with only a slight hint of the cars true practicality. There is a wing that emerges out of the hatch at highway speeds to produce more down force, similar to the one found in Porsche’s Panamera. The GT is sold as a 328GT, with a $48,990 starting price. It has a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and 18-inch wheels. The $56,990 335GT has a larger turbocharged 6-cylinder engine and 19-inch wheels.

als and a functional dash. This is carried over to the GT model, so the front seats remain unaltered. It is the back of the car that is dramatically different. With added legroom and a higher roofline the GT feels open, especially when fitted with the panoramic roof. My kids loved the extra space but noticed the doors sit a bit higher compared to a regular mid-size SUV. The hatch has no rear wiper so expect rear visibility to be blurry on rainy or snowy days. (You do get spoiled with a rear wiper on an SUV). The hatch is electronically operated and provides a long and wide cargo area, plus the rear seats fold in a snap. The rear windows and cargo do not have darkened, privacy class like an SUV, which is something I would prefer. continued on page A13

Drive The 3 Series sedan has been considered the benchmark in the compact luxury market for decades and a lot of the same goodness is here in the GT. With a longer wheelbase and a slightly higher centre of gravity it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle as nimbly as the sedan but it is much better than the taller X3 SUV. The power from either 241 hp turbocharged 4-cylinder or the 300 hp turbocharged 6-cylinder engines goes to all four wheels and is shifted through a very slick 8-speed auto box. There are settings for
vehicle dynamics and suspension from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ecoâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sport Plusâ&#x20AC;? that can take this car from relaxed to athletic at the push of a button. I really enjoyed driving in sport mode and getting the full effect of the 335GT, as the in-line turbo 6-cylinder is still one of the best power plants on the road. For buyers looking to save on fuel and when purchasing, the 328GT is still a potent machine. Verdict The GT falls into a very nice spot in the 3 Series family, and I include the X3 in that group. The sedan is a great car but not as practical as the X3. Yes the X3 has traditional SUV appeal but looses

some of the sedans nimbleness. This is where the GT plays. It has a bigger cargo area than the X3, more rear legroom but it also has more a sedan stance on the road. The price is more expensive than the X3 so this is a premium offering in the BMW family. If I were in the market for a BMW the 335GT or less expensive 328GT would be in the running. With kids I lake having and SUV but still want the fun and stability that a sedan offers. This GT might just be the right balance for some.

PTI Group CEO Ron Green said the property just off Hwy37 South and north of the Churchill Drive subdivision will likely be used for infrastructure to service large camps elsewhere. “We need a laundry,” said Green. “It would make sense to put it centralized to where the projects are and that would make Terrace a good choice.” He said afterward a laundry facility would be approximately 4,000 square feet and would process the bedsheets and other items from work camp rooms transported in mass loads from camps. Terrace is too far from the planned work sites to house construction workers for planned LNG facilities in either Kitimat or Prince Rupert but the Thornhill property could be used for services needed for those other locations, he said. Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine planner Ted Pellegrino, who was also at the meeting representing the district with others, said the regional district doesn’t currently have zoning regulations for industrial laundry facilities within residential subdivisions. “We would have to create a zone designation around that,” said Pellegrino, adding that would have to be an addition to the current zoning or the creation of a new zone. PTI vice president of business development Sean Crockett told Terrace council during his presentation that it aims to build confidence and familiarity with the company before any development, a timeline for which he said the company doesn’t yet have. Currently the approximately 93-acre area now
owned by PTI is zoned residential and was designated as a potential area for residential development by the regional district. There are several logistical considerations on the table besides the laundry facility. Clients desire air service for their workers, he said, which means that all the luggage gets transported separately while workers are bussed to the airport for their flights. The staging area for this service, which reduces crowding, could be located on the Churchill land. “You’re going to see a tsunami of people coming in and your airport is going to be well taxed to support to keep up,” Green continued. Green said PTI has not ruled out putting out some form of temporary accommodation at the location for workers in between work assignments. “We have talked about transition rooms, as well, 300-500 rooms potentially that could end up supporting tourism up here eventually,” he said. Crockett gave an initial presentation that showed PTI as an international company that had done worker accommodation projects in several countries and that stays in communities for at least 10 years. He said worker accommodation reduces strain on housing and helps communities experiencing booms to ride out the highs and lows that are inevitable during large-scale industrial development and operation. In response to a question from city councillor Bruce Bidgood as to whether there could be a component of affordable housing worked into the development, Green said that he wasn’t sure but that the facility could lend itself to senior housing or student housing afterwards. “We are in a position to do long term housing for seniors, we have that sort of infrastructure in there. It could be transitioned into a care facility,” he said, stressing that anything like that would have to be part of a project undertaken by another entity.
Relay for Life targets cancer THE RELAY for Life takes over the track at Skeena Middle School this weekend with more participants and teams than last year. Forty-five teams with 407 participants were registered as of May 1, up from last year’s 40 teams of 369 participants. The goal this year is to raise $170,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. Twenty-five per cent, $41,898.43, was already raised as of May 1. While the teams are taking their turns around the
track, virtual teams will be there in spirit with a tent and their names, while their members who wanted to participate but had to work note their participation with a sign in the window of their workplaces and wearing their relay t-shirts. The event kicks off with the survivor’s lap and finishes off its 12 hours with the luminaries as the sun is setting at 10 p.m. this Saturday, May 10. The money raised from the event goes towards cancer prevention programs and survivor support.

Hydro, natural gas costs on the rise NORTHWEST RESIDENTS should hope a warm spring and summer extends into a warm fall to delay for as long as possible the impact of price hikes for both electricity and natural gas. BC Hydro increased its rates by nine per cent as of April 1 and, because of a large jump in the price of natural gas, Pacific Northern Gas (PNG) upped its residential rate by more than 10 per cent on April 1 as well. The rate at the beginning of the year was $3.50 a gigajoule for natural gas but it is now $5.593 a gigajoule. BC Hydro’s nine per cent bump is the first of a series designed to raise prices by a cumulative 28 per cent by 2019. The increase schedule follows years of low rate increases which, according to BC Hydro, affected its ability to maintain its current facilities as well as to build new ones. The crown corporation also pays an annual dividend to the provincial government. This first hike is the highest of the five planned to 2019 with the 2015 price increase pegged at six per cent. Meanwhile, several years of low prices for natural gas appear to be over and that’s affected the rate being charged by Pacific Northern Gas. “North America markets have experienced some of the coldest weather in over a decade this past winter, resulting in significant drawdown of natural gas storage inventory levels, combined with reduced production levels – there has been upward pressure and significant volatility in gas commodity prices in recent months,” said Janet Kennedy, a PNG official. “Based on these conditions, natural gas rates have increases all across North America – the increases are not unique to PNG’s service territory or British Columbia.” Natural gas utilities are not allowed to add on to the cost of natural gas that passes through their lines to customers. The delivery rate for natural gas went up marginally as of April 1 for a residential commodity and delivery rate that is now $17.753 a gigajoule, not including government taxes and fees, compared to $15.705 as of Jan. 1 which itself was an increase over the $14.464 a gigajoule that was charged last November.
Rates in the past could have been higher had not it been for payments made by a company to hold space in PNG’s existing line for a small liquefied natural gas plant planned for Kitimat. That option money for what’s generally called the BCLNG project was paid into what’s called a deferral account and as of Dec. 31, 2014 the remaining balance was $1.6 million from a one-time total of $7.5 million. Kennedy said approximately $6 million paid into the account was used over the past four years to reduce delivery costs by approximately 5 per cent. Kennedy said PNG has asked its regulator, the B.C. Utilities Commission, for permission to use the remaining money this year to lower delivery rates by just under five per cent. “PNG has recommended that this balance be fully amortized in 2014 which would result in all the option fee payments received to date being fully credited to PNG [North] West’s customers by the end of 2014,” she said. As it is, the delivery rates paid by PNG’s northwest customers are higher than elsewhere ever since heavy industry, particularly pulp mills, left the region. Because those industries used a lot of natural gas, their revenues contributed greatly to the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of PNG’s line. But without those users, residential and small business customers now have to pay more to maintain PNG’s operations. This means the only hope for lower delivery prices is for the excess capacity of PNG’s line to be taken up once again. And although the BCLNG project planned for Kitimat does have space reserved in the PNG line, it’s suffering from financial troubles and is in creditor protection. The original option agreement does, however, require PNG to credit back to the BCLNG project a large portion of the option fees that were paid should that project ever proceed. While BCLNG forfeited $1 million of the $7.5 million it paid in option fees because it did not meet a deadline to start taking gas from the PNG line, it will receive credit for the remaining $6.5 million should it straighten out its financial troubles and the project get underway. Late last week a deal was announced which could see BCLNG being sold.

Nordstrom tapped by Rockets
TERRACE BANTAM Nick Nordstrom, 15, has been plucked by the Kelowna Rockets, the team which finished first in this year’s Western Hockey League season. Nordstrom was one of 10 bantam prospects selected during the WHL draft in Calgary Wednesday, May 1. He was picked in the 10th round. “I’m so excited,” he said. “I got calls from other teams and spoke with them but I wasn’t expecting to get drafted by the Rockets.” Speaking to the draft, the Rockets said they picked up “a lot of guys with size who can skate,” and Nordstrom, 6’2, fits that bill. The defenseman caught the eye of scouts at the BC U16 Cup, where he was one of three Terrace players who made the cut to compete with some of the best in the province. That was the first time the scouts had seen Nordstrom play. Kelowna Rockets assistant GM and director of player personnel Lorne Frey said considering the level of play he would have played at all year (coming from a small town in northwest), he performed very well against the other top players his age from across the province. “We were very pleased with his overall ability. He has good size and is a good skater,” said Frey. “Considering the level he had played at all year, he handled himself very well competing with those guys. He’s potentially a very good player.”

Six Packs spike to top quarter finish at volleyball provincials TERRACE’S 14U select volleyball team showed strong at the Volleyball BC Club Provincials at the Tradex Centre in Abbotsford late last month. The Six Packs finished fourth in their division – the tournament featured four divisions with 16 teams each, with the top eight teams in each division marked Tier 1 and the bottom eight teams marked Tier 2. Terrace competed in Division 2, Tier 1 as a result of their strong showing at regionals. Terrace won their first round robin match April 25 against the Burnaby Action Club in two straight sets. The first set stayed close but by the middle of the set Terrace was able to keep a small lead with tight serves and defense to win 25-20. In the second set, Terrace pulled out to an early lead which then grew to 12 before Burnaby came back strong with solid serves and net play to close the gap. With the score 23-22 for Terrace, Terrace called a timeout before coming back to finish the set with a 25-23 win. In the first set of game two

In the second set, Delaney Kitchen went on an impressive serving streak of 15 straight serves and then Jayde Gingles followed with a six
straight serve streak to win the set 25-9. Friday’s final round robin match was against the Victoria Chargers. While they were a good passing team, Terrace kept the pressure on to win 25-18 and 25-22.
At 3-0 in round robin play, first in their pool, and having not lost a single set, Terrace advanced to the Division 2, Tier 1 playoffs, beginning with a quarterfinal match against Langley Rain City, who had a 2 – 1 record. Terrace struggled in the first set with long rallies and poor defense and lost 18-25. In the second set, the lead went back and fourth, with Terrace able to steal the win 26-24 forcing a third set. The score stayed close and both teams played cautiously until finally Seyenna Lee finished with two strong serves to end the match 15-12 in favor of Terrace. This win set up a semi-final match versus the also undefeated Coquitlam Ducks, who proved to be a very tough opponent for Terrace as Coquitlam took the lead early with strong attacks and blocking at the net as well as tipping to open areas. Coquitlam defeated Terrace in two straight sets 18-25 and 1725. This loss led to a bronze medal match against the Burnaby Action club, who they’d defeated in round
robin play. The close match was very tense and tight right to the end, with Terrace winning the first set 26-24. In the second set, Burnaby came out strong and took the lead. Terrace trailed by a small margin but was able to catch up and tie it at 23 before facing difficulty with a couple of passes. Terrace’s 2725 loss forced a third deciding set, which saw Burnaby take a small lead and Terrace struggle to finish plays, leading to long rallies. In the end, Terrace lost this set 15-13, giving the Terrace Six Packs a fourth place finish in Division 2, Tier 1 at the 14U 2014 Volleyball Club Provincials – 20th overall of the 60 teams total. The provincials proved to be an amazing experience for the team and the players have a lot to be proud of, said coach Frank Marrelli, noting that Terrace finished ahead of the two Prince George teams, the only other northern teams to compete. Next up, many of the players get ready for BC Summer Games tryouts.

There’s someone fishing there, I said to the dog. Who was hunkered down into the seat and didn’t share my surprise. I turned onto Lavergne Road, parked at its dead end where I tied on my fur line cap, pulled wool mitts from the pockets of my wool pants, grabbed my walking stick, and struck out down the trail bound the river itching to see who would be fishing it in a January blizzard. The water in the deep, unsightly ruts made by vandals on ATVs, who seem determined to wreck the place, had frozen and were covered in a skiff of fine snow, as if they were healing over. Oona snuffled the spoor of rabbits, foxes, and a moose. Other than wind whipping through the tree tops, the place was almost serene.

Full time mayor issue surfaces once again MAYOR DAVE Pernarowski says he’ll raise the issue of the city having a full time mayor at the next council meeting. He’s begun by issuing a notice of motion to formally put the matter to the rest of council in time for the May 12 meeting. “Since it is currently a notice of motion, I won’t speak to it until I’ve had a chance to discuss/debate the issue with council at our next regular council meeting,” said Pernarowski last week. But he did raise the issue at the April 28 council meeting when council established a task force to examine the pay issue and report back in June. That follows through a commitment made in 2011 by council to review salaries in three years. The possibility of making the mayor’s position full time was also debated then.
Pernarowski, at the April 28 council meeting, suggested Terrace would be better served by a full-time mayor because the speed of change in the area requires the full attention that an extended position would allow. He said the issue should be looked at before the current term expires and council terms increase from three years to four as of this November’s local government elections. “I think as a council we are going to have to look at the next four years. What’s going to happen in this region is just going to be incredible. We haven’t even seen the beginning yet. And for us to continue to ... to ‘plow along’ … for us to plow along is just not adequate at this point in time,” Pernarowski said. Elected first to council in a 2007 byelection, Pernarowski served one year before defeating long time mayor Jack
Talstra in 2008. He was re-elected in 2011 but has yet to say if he will run again this fall. He spoke to the challenge of juggling the mayoral workload with life commitments including a large family and the need to secure adequate supplemental income from employers who may not always be flexible to the extracurricular commitments of a mayor employee. “It’s not that I am saying it’s ‘so hard’. I love doing this work and I think the next person who sits in this chair will love it the same way, and they will want to focus on it, on making Terrace a better place. I don’t think we can wait four more years for that decision to happen,” said Pernarowski. Council deemed the matter should be addressed separately from the salary task force. “We rejected a notion of a full-time mayor
Council salaries up for a review CITY COUNCIL has decided to broaden the membership of a task force being named to recommend if they’ll get a pay raise. The creation of the task force, set in motion by council April 28, follows a decision made in 2011 by council to review the pay for councillors and the mayor in three years. The original decision was to have the task force consist of a representative each from the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce, the Terrace-Kitimat Labour Council and a former mayor or council member. But
after debate April 28, council decided to add a member from a not-for-profit group and an everyday citizen. Even though the pay task force is being asked to make a recommendation to be voted upon by council, one councillor is already hinting he would oppose a raise. “Sorry to be the stick-in the mud but I think there should be someone on that panel who asks if there should or should not be [an increase in salary],” said Cordeiro during debate on the task force creation.
before the last election and it was a very strong vote of rejection,” said councillor Bruce Bidgood, who earlier this year said he plans on running for mayor in the coming elections. Bidgood said a previous review committee had trouble identifying exactly what the expanded duties of a full time mayor would really be. The matter will have to be resolved prior to the salary review task force reporting back.

Salaries up for review Terrace councillors earned $12,229 in 2013 and their pay is adjusted annually based on the B.C. Consumer Price Index, a policy that dates back years. The mayor’s salary is more than $33,000, a sum that has risen by more than $5,000 over the past three years based on a formula set out by the 2011 task force. It also rises annually according to the BC Consumer Price Index. Even though the pay task force is being asked to make a recommendation to be voted upon by council, Cordeiro is already hinting he may be opposed. “As of right now I would say no,” said Cordeiro after the council meeting. “I wouldn’t be in favour of seeing an increase without seeing a corresponding tax reduction to the two biggest tax payers which are business and residents. If council gets a 5 per cent pay increase then there should be a corresponding tax cut to residents and business.” The 2011 decision to increase the mayor’s salary was not universally accepted by council members. Councillors Brian Downie, Brad Pollard and Carol Leclerc voted in favour while councillors Bruce Bidgood and Lynne Christiansen voted against it. Mayor Dave Pernarowski and councillor Bruce Martindale, both candidates for mayor that year, did not vote.

THE Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine will be able to get money from the provincial and federal governments to help with flood mitigation work provided it comes up with onethird of a project cost. A total of $75,477 is available for work in Dutch Valley to stabilize the banks of the Kalum River and to prevent erosion.

Tahltan, province sign revenue sharing deal THE TAHLTAN Nation is set to receive up to $300,000 a year from the provincial government once two run-of-river projects using water from the Iskut River north of here go into full production. Announced yesterday, the money is a portion of land and water rentals to be paid to the provincial government by AltaGas of Calgary for its 66 megawatt McLymont Creek project and its 16 megawatt Volcano Creek project. Both are set to be completed by late November 2015 and both will feed power into B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line which is nearing completion. The money is on top of $2.5 million a year that will flow to the Tahltan Nation from the province when the much larger AltaGas project on the Iskut, the 195 megawatt Forrest Kerr run-of-river facility, goes into production this summer. All three revenue-sharing agreements come under the province’s First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund, which promotes First Nations participation in the clean-energy sector. And the one for Forrest Kerr, signed in March
2013, was the first-ever to be signed under the clean energy business fund. All three projects fall within Tahltan traditional territory. In advance of the projects going into production, the Tahltan received $186,000 for Forrest Kerr, $12,400 for McLymont Creek and $3,000 for Volcano Creek. Provincial officials have cautioned that final payment amounts each year will depend upon a number of variables. The three AltaGas projects are the first ones to feed power into B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line. AltaGas did begin flowing water through its Forrest Kerr facility last week but when it will actually begin generating power to be fed into B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line isn’t known as completion of the line has been set back. “Once the [transmission line] is available, commissioning to tie Forrest Kerr into the transmission line will begin,” an AltaGas release stated last week.

Nisga’a in mine talks In advance of provincial approval, the Nisga’a filed an objection to the project by using a section of the 2000 Nisga’a final land claims agreement. The Nisga’a said environmental and social economic studies were either inadequate or incomplete. Based on those assertions, the Nisga’a enacted provisions of the final agreement which set in motion discussions meant to resolve disputes between parties. But they also followed up that up by filing a petition the end of July 2013 asking the B.C. Supreme Court to order the suspension of the provincial environmental certificate until the dispute resolution process had been completed.
“British Columbia has acted other than in accordance with the honour of the Crown in issuing the [environmental] decision and [environmental] certificate, in undue and deliberate haste, five days after receiving the Notice of Disagreement delivered by the Nisga’a Nation triggering the dispute resolution process ….,” the petition stated. The application was to be heard last September but it has now been adjourned. “The Nisga’a injunction application of September 23, 2013 was adjourned and negotiations with the Nisga’a are continuing,” said a statement late last week from the province. No further details were provided.

From living on the street to CEO By JOSH MASSEY WHEN CHERYL Watts was accepted to Royal Roads University just outside of Victoria, she was very surprised and even thought it was a mistake. As a teen living in Terrace in the 1980s, she struggled in the grips of an abusive relationship. That, combined with addiction problems, led her to attempt suicide on several occasions. The ravages of alcoholism and a stint living on the streets had not created the self-image of someone who would eventually take postgraduate studies and receive a Masters degree in Arts and Leadership. “I got married when I was in Grade 10. Married when I was 17; divorced when I was 19. In the relationship, it was very violent. I tried killing myself a few times within that time,” said Watts, who is now reassured enough to be able to speak about those times without
breaking her positive demeanour. Her lack of confidence was compounded by learning disabilities which made finishing school a challenge. “I have dyslexia so I always found school very difficult. In elementary school, I was always called out to the dumb class,” she said. Now 46, she looks back on a life that was lived against the odds, and visiting Terrace, she stops and talks to her friends who are still living on the streets. She said that if it weren’t for her family having come and saved her when she was on a downward spiral, she might still be on the street now, or have suffered a worse fate. Watts’ mother Mavis, from whom she gets her Tsimshian roots, and her father Don Krause, offered Watts a place to stay despite her addictions issues. During the tough years, she was back and forth between Terrace and Prince George, her

Moving back home allowed her to regroup and redirect her life, she said. “Families are who I want to reach, she said. “My family said ‘enough,’ and were firm and direct. The families are going to be upset but there has to be hope,” said Watts, who holds seminars to help others overcome challenges related to self-realization. She believes in the power of family to help those who have taken a wrong turn and need
guidance. Watts’ smile conveys how proud and lucky she feels to be where she is now, a Royal Roads Masters graduate and the CEO of her own leadership consulting business in Edmonton called Timely Trends. She is also contributing to several business publications, and has been a speaker on creative leadership skills at conferences. Watts credits a social program offered through the Kermode Friendship Centre in
helping to turn her life around back in the 1980s. “When I was drinking, I took a program that helped me straighten up and that was the Kermode Friendship Centre – they did a preemployment program 25 years ago and I took it and mainly because they paid people money to take the course,” said Watts. She said this brought her into her first meaningful jobs, and she eventually worked in counselling herself.

■■ Weekend fun LEFT, PRINCE GEORGE Guides unload their gear after making the journey to Terrace to take part in the April 25-27 Girl Guides of Canada Rivers North Area camping weekend held at the Northwest Regional Airport. More than 50 guides and leaders used the facilities of the 747 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron. The weekend featured a circus challenge theme. Right, thanks to Hawkair for the recent “mock airplane ride” for the 1st Terrace Sparks. It was enjoyed by all!
She was originally a drug and alcohol counsellor with just certificate training and then took a diploma at Nechi Institute in Edmonton. At college, her instructor encouraged her to attend Royal Roads. “I laughed at her saying there is no way in hell because I don’t have a degree,” said Watts. “She pushed and said I will write a letter on your behalf.” Local Northwest Community College instructor David Try also
wrote a letter on Watt’s behalf. “I thought ‘yes there are people who actually believe in me.’ When you don’t think you will be accepted, you are confident,” said Watts. Watts says her counselling work, as well as helping with the family logging business, paid off. “They accepted me because of my work experience and the fact I worked in our family logging business showed them I knew how a business is run.”

Over the last decade we have been carefully planning this project. It is the most advanced pipeline proposal under consideration that is responding to these challenges. The project has undergone the intense scrutiny of the Joint Review Panel of the National Energy Board–the most extensive scientific review of its kind in Canadian history–and received its endorsement for approval. By moving ahead, Northern Gateway will safely open new markets for Canadian oil much sooner than any other project under consideration. While this provides a huge economic benefit for Canadians, it is not the only opportunity Northern Gateway has to offer.

All tankers calling on our terminal must be vetted by a third-party prior to leaving their port of origin.

Most important, no matter what product we are moving, Northern Gateway will always ensure that ours is a safer, better project. That’s because Northern Gateway is already incorporating numerous measures specifically designed for British Columbia’s environment and landscape, and is already setting a new standard in Canada for safety and environmental responsibility. For example, every tanker carrying Canadian oil to new markets will be double-hulled and guided to open ocean by B.C. coast pilots. All loaded tankers will be escorted by two tugs, and every tanker coming into our terminal will be fully vetted for safety. At Northern Gateway we are working every day to build a project that will serve our country for generations to come. That passionate commitment is at the heart of our proposal. It drives us in everything we do. It has resulted in a project that measures up to its original promise of a safer, better pipeline that benefits every British Columbian and every Canadian.
Escort tugs will respond immediately in the case of an emergency, and one of the two escort tugs will be tethered at all times.

This is the main reason why Northern Gateway is urgently needed. Northern Gateway will open new markets for Canadian oil in Asia, creating thousands of good-paying jobs in British Columbia and generating much-needed revenues for taxpayers.

Canada has vast oil reserves that have the power to ensure jobs and other economic benefits for generations of British Columbians and Canadians. But this resource is only going to one market–the United States–meaning Canadians are losing out on hundreds of millions of dollars.
If, in the years ahead, a new refinery is built in Kitimat that offers the same benefits as international markets, Northern Gateway will be able to deliver product for that as well. Or, if a facility is built in Alberta, Northern Gateway will be able to move refined product to new markets. In fact, Northern Gateway can provide a safe means of transport from Alberta to Kitimat for oil wherever it is needed most, at home or abroad, always ensuring that Canadians get the value we rightly expect from our most valuable commodity.

Let your gown go to prom, again AS STUDENTS are getting ready to celebrate graduation and the culmination of all their hard work to get this far, some won’t be able to have fun along with their friends due to financial constraints. Some families are just managing to get by each month, and the expense of graduation is just too much. These girls will proudly walk across the stage to get their diploma but when their friends are getting ready for prom, they will be left out. Darlene Reid started buying grad dresses, shoes and all the accessories that girls need for prom four years ago for girls in need. “It’s a bit like Vancouver’s Cinderella Project but on a much smaller scale
and ran more personally,” says Reid about her project that she’s named “You’ll Be There.” There have been very generous people in town that have donated beautiful grad dresses, bridesmaid dresses, shoes etc. for the girls and incredibly generous business people that have donated dry cleaning, hair, and nails etc., she says. Without them, the girls would not have the amazing experience that they have, she adds. Right now, there is a need for gowns size 12 to 16; however, all sizes are always needed and welcomed, she says. So far, the girls who have received a helping hand from “You’ll be there” have all been given dresses
and everything else they needed and have looked and felt beautiful. “It’s a guarantee that if you do have an item or two to donate that they will go to a girl who will love them as much as you did and feel like you did when you wore it,” says Reid. If you happen to have, or know someone who has, a dress, shoes, or anything else that may be used by the girls, it can be dropped off at M&M Meat Shops or call Darlene at 975-0789 and arrangements can be made to have donations picked up. If you are in Terrace, Kitimat or Prince Rupert and need a dress etc., call or text 975-0789 and Darlene will be happy to set up a private fitting for you.

Learn about Skeena berries THE SKEENA Wonder Strawberry was invented by a pioneering family who is no longer here but the berry remains. The general story of the Michaud Brothers, Fred and Bert, is that they acquired land on what is now Queensway in Thornhill, and bred interesting vegetables, including the Skeena Wonder Strawberry and a funnily shaped “banana potato.” The brothers first arrived in the Terrace area in 1904 and were, according to Ted Johnston, “always together and were excellent gardeners.” The Skeena Wonder Strawberry grows in the Organic Heritage Garden at Heritage Park Museum and staff is happy to share runners with anyone who wants it, says museum curator Kelsey Wiebe.

Did you know we have our own strawberry? The story Ted Johnston relates in Memoirs: Life with Terrace Area Pioneers is as follows: “The Michaud brothers, James Alfred, Albert and Edward Felix arrived with their elderly father Fred William Michaud from the United States in 1904. “Mrs. Annie Laurie Firestone, their widowed sister, also came. Bill was not well and died shortly after their arrival. “Ed worked as a cook in logging camps and did odd jobs. He was quite a teller of tall tales. “He passed away in Usk, June 21, 1928, at age sixty-four. “Fred and Bert Michaud pre-empted D.L. 1099 in the bay of the old airport hill, where Inland Kenworth is presently located. They built a large log house and had beautiful flower gardens. “The Michauds were always together and were excellent gardeners. They raised all kinds of fruit and vegetables. “On one of their experiments, they crosspollinated strawberry plants and ended up with a colossal-sized strawberry, and called it the Skeena Wonder. “Their business was advertised as The Michaud Brothers, Crescent Hill Ranch; Growers and Shippers of Nursery Stock Small Fruits and Vegetables, Originators of the FAMOUS ‘SKEENA WONDER STRAWBERRY.’” “Unfortunately, a Michigan firm stole the secret of their successful strawberry when the Michauds wrote ‘the recipe’ out for them, while trying to negotiate a deal. “Besides farming, Fred and Bert trapped
in the winter on Williams Creek and also prospected on Thornhill Mountain. Fire destroyed their beautiful home and they moved into a cabin on the
place. “During the thirties, Bert and Bill Elder (who was also a prospector) built a raft well above the canyon in order to cross the Cop-
per River while it was in flood. “The raft was caught by the suction of the canyon and as one end swung to shore Bill managed to jump to
safety, but Bert was never seen again. “Fred lived alone until his death November 11, 1945 at age seventyfour.” If you want to learn
more about the Michaud family history, starting back in the early 1900s, Jewel Cave history and then to Terrace, you are invited to come out to hear their relative tell
some interesting history, and about their sad ending in Terrace. See the Community Calendar on page B4 for details on the May 8, 9, 10 events.
