City closes in on Chinese deal By JOSH MASSEY TERRACE MAYOR Dave Pernarowski says the city is closing in on a deal which would see a Chinese economic development authority purchase up to 1,000 acres of the city-controlled Skeena Industrial Development Park located just south of the Northwest Regional Airport.

Pernarowski returned from a four-day trip to China last week and while there, signed what he called a “progress report” which built on an earlier memorandum of understanding signed when a combined city and Kitselas First Nation delegation visited there last November. The deal would see one or more Chinese manufac-

turing companies through the Qinhuangdao Economic and Technological Development Zone (QETDZ) set up shop at the industrial park. Negotiating details have yet to be released but when the Kitselas First Nation’s Kitselas Development Corporation bought 165 acres at the park from the city this year, the deal was worth

$1,647,700 or $10,000 an acre. A recent report by the corporation suggested its holdings are now worth between $30,000 and $35,000 an acre for a value range of between $5.1 million and $6 million for a parcel of land that’s approximately onefifth the size wanted by the QETDZ.

Police to beef up downtown patrols By ANNA KILLEN

Pernarowski said it’s the only trade deal of its kind currently underway between Canada and China. “We are currently the only project in Canada that China is looking at right

THE RCMP is reviving a downtown patrol aimed at curbing public disorder following complaints made by merchants and others. Speaking at a meeting called by city council May 21, Terrace RCMP detachment commander Inspector Dana Hart said two officers will be dedicated to foot patrols during specific times. Called a crime reduction unit, the detachment at one time had as many as four officers assigned to downtown duty until they were blended in with regular patrols a year ago. Although they did patrol on foot, the unit also drove a marked panel van in order to take arrested persons back to the detachment. Bicycle patrols were also used – another thing Hart said he would like to see revived. Aside from the crime reduction unit, Hart said he has issued a challenge to his officers to spend more time on the ground patrolling the downtown core. Hart stressed that while overall crime is on the decline in Terrace, “there are people in the downtown area making it difficult for people to go about their business or feel safe going about their business.” He said that crime is sometimes a matter of perception – for

example, large groups of teenagers may appear intimidating to the public, but they are not always up to illegal activity, he said. “It’s a balancing act,” he added, referencing the need to balance police work with privacy and civil rights. But an increased watch, with more officers out at targeted peak times, should help to combat the issues downtown – for example, people asking for money near ATMs and being drunk in public, he said, noting that the strategy might cost the detachment more in overtime while it is first implemented, but should save money over time. He also asked that people call in suspicious activity when they see it, and noted that bringing back a citizens on patrol contingent would be “a huge benefit.” Councillor James Cordeiro said the activity downtown is the worst he’s ever seen and he welcomes more police. “Brolly Square seems to be an epicenter of problems,” he said of the public space on the corner of Emerson and Lakelse. “If there’s somebody patrolling through there on a regular basis, people aren’t going to want to congregate there. I understand they’re just going to move off to somewhere else, but hopefully

they move out of town.” He was speaking to the potential out-of-town criminal element moving into town as development increases. “To me it has to be like, this is not a place to come and be idle and cause trouble and hang out. Another city will be better because in Terrace they don’t tolerate it,” Cordeiro said. “It’s a broad social issue that’s not going to be solved by the RCMP, it’s not going to be solved this summer, or the summer after that. I guess I’m just being pragmatic.” The issues do go beyond policing, said Hart, and it will take more than just more boots on the ground. “What do we do to address where they can be, what they can be doing?” he said. “That’s not a policing issue... that’s an issue with housing, with community services, with education, health care, addictions.” Hart added that it is sometimes difficult for officers to do foot patrol downtown because they are out on other calls. Members spend a lot of time on “counselling” calls and dealing with repeat offenders, he said. And a municipal bylaw officer would go a long way to free up officer time, suggested Hart, an idea council appeared open to considering.

Halt wanted to dumping By JOSH MASSEY A MAN who took it upon himself to clean up garbage on a dirt road in Thornhill notorious for illegal dumping is calling for it to be blocked off from vehicle use. Rob Seaton did three runs to the landfill recently with a large trailer filled with household garbage collected along the old Canadian Cellulose haul road known as Sharples, that stretches from Hwy16 back to Crescent St. and the Pacific Northern Gas (PNG) line. “There was rotten meat, hypodermic needles, furniture,” said Seaton of the unpleasant stuff he hauled, adding that people have also been dumping garbage along the PNG road as well as behind the Thornhill community hall and fair grounds. A local resident of 55 years, Seaton decided to pitch in to solve what he said is the worst garbage problem he’s seen in his day. The litter he helped clean up was strewn

capes Ltd. However just one week after his volunteer garbage hauling, the refuse returned and he is exasperated. “From my perspective, the pipeline and Sharples needs to be blocked off using road blocks and people need to stop dumping in general,” said Seaton. Punishing litterers is generally overseen by conservation officers employed by the Ministry of Environment, but

they oftentimes have other priorities in an area so full of outdoor activity. “The conservation officers are busy finding people using barbed hooks,” said Seaton. According to Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine planner Ken Newman, when it comes to littering problems on crown land such as Sharples Rd., it’s up to the province to deal with the situation.

“When it comes to crown land the regional district has no jurisdiction,” said Newman. “That is to say we don’t have any regulations that allow us to do anything about it. It is the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations with the Ministry of Environment and the Conservation Officer’s Service [that] have jurisdiction.” Seaton said he has considered bringing receipts and identification that he pulled from the dumped refuse to the police, but isn’t sure if or how the police would respond. Aside from blocking Sharples and the PNG road to vehicles, Seaton has some hope for regional district recycling plans which he thinks might encourage people to stop throwing things away. One of the long-term goals of the regional district is to convert the Thornhill landfill into a depot where refuse, bottles, batteries, appliances and other items can be taken in one shot.

On the far left is local resident Lucy Praught from the Canadian construction services firm EllisDon and on the far right is Carol Leclerc, the Coast Mountains School District’s trades career coordinator.

Students attend major gas conference By ANNA KILLEN THE PROVINCIAL government and companies working on developing a liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry spent approximately $60,000 taking nearly 60 Coast Mountains School District secondary school students, teachers and chaperones to a Vancouver LNG conference last week. They were among 110 students,

teachers and chaperones from the northwest at the May 21-23 provincial government-sponsored conference attended by 1,400 delegates. “The provincial government offered funding to all school districts from the north to attend this conference, and that was the impetus for industry to sign on and fund the rest,” said Coast Mountains school board chair Art Erasmus, noting

it was a unique field trip opportunity for students. Two Grade 10 planning classes, one from Caledonia Secondary School, and one from Mount Elizabeth Secondary School, Hazelton Secondary School's Intro to Trades class, and one student from Stewart's Bear Valley School made the trip. The money was given to the school district in $800 per student subsidies in order to pay for

travel and accommodation costs for northern students, confirmed a ministry of energy and mines spokesperson last week, noting that subsidies were provided based on location in the province. The money came from revenue generated through the LNG conference and any costs on top of the $800 per student subsidy were paid by LNG companies at no cost to the school district.

Companies involved in the planning to build two pipelines to two LNG plants at Kitimat and two pipelines to two LNG plants at Prince Rupert contributed to the students' one-night trip. A full delegate pass to the conference cost $1,680, according to the conference website, but students were given free admission.

Ending poverty

By ROB HART

ocial workers deal with poverty daily. They practice in child welfare, schools, health settings, the criminal justice system or in the community where we see poverty’s effects daily. Many are familiar with the research work of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and their conclusion that government is paying over twice the social costs for poverty’s effects, (family breakdown, school failure, ill-health and involvement with the criminal justice system), than if they changed policy proactively removed poverty from our society. The idea that we can afford to remove the causes of poverty is a stunning one, but not a new one. Every province in Canada is working on a plan to reduce poverty except two, Saskatchewan and B.C., strange as B.C. has the highest poverty rate in Canada. What are some of the things that an effective poverty reduction strategy will have to address?

Support jobless Welfare rates remain well below the amount required to meet basic needs. This putative approach is counter-productive. It makes it harder for people to progress to independence. Increase welfare rates to the

poverty line and index them. Remove barriers that discourage, delay or deny people in need. There are six unemployed Canadians for every vacant job. Isn’t it time to stop blaming the unemployed for unemployment?

child care is a requirement. An effective poverty reduction program would make it affordable. Increasing the pay of child care workers, most of whom earn less than a living wage, would bring them out of poverty as well. And provide support for training and education. The connections between increasing education and reducing poverty are self-evident. This is the road that allows poor people to access stable, wellpaying jobs.

Make work pay more Most people living in poverty are working. People are forced to work at least two jobs to make ends meet and this creates stresses that break families apart and cause ill-health creating both personal and social costs. Full time work should lift people out of poverty, not keep them in it. A living wage allows families to escape poverty and severe financial stress, participate fully in their communities and ensure the healthy development of their children. Increase the minimum wage to a living wage.

Focus on poverty Increase disability rates and index them as well. Restructure funding to better address the needs of aboriginal people.

Promote health Poverty erodes health. Enhancing and expanding home care and home support, assisted living,

All together

long-term care and community mental health services will promote health and further reduce the need for the more expensive forms of care that are draining our health care system.

Address homeless B.C. has increasing numbers of homeless people and the worst record of housing affordability in Canada. We used to build 1,0001,500 units of social housing every year but from 2005 – 2010 built only 280! That’s a 95 per cent reduction! Start building over 2,000 new

units of social housing each year. Increase supported housing for people with mental health or addiction issues. This is cheaper and more effective than what we are doing now with people ending up in more expensive shelters, hospitals or jail.

Provide child care This is the second largest expense for most families after housing. Child care is a necessity for working parents. The research on the importance of a child’s first years to later success in school shows that good

Any one of these measures will help. Taken together, they will move us very surely toward a society that has little poverty, where social investment is made up front where it can be effective. We are paying more for poverty now because we are spending our dollars on its effects. We can reduce poverty, increase well-being and enable each citizen to make the contribution they can. We can pay to get citizens out of poverty or we can pay twice as much to address its effects on them and on their children. Terrace resident Robert Hart recently retired after a 40 year career in social work. He continues to teach social policy at UNBC and to chair the advocacy committee of the BC Association of Social Workers.

Premier needs to keep energy promise By GERALD AMOS AND DES NOBELS WE WERE promised a couple of important things in the last election. One was that British Columbia would have the world’s cleanest and greenest LNG industry. What does that mean? Is it actually possible? Clean Energy Canada recently came out with a report that answers both those questions. The answers are simple: to be considered the world’s cleanest LNG, the proposed LNG plants in B.C. would have to use “outside the fence” power sources, and preferably, as much power from renewables, like wind power, as possible. Producing LNG, which involves cooling natural gas down in order to liquefy it, is one of the most energy intensive industries in the world. A large LNG plant will use about as much power as an aluminum smelter. How you produce that power, and how you use it, defines whether or not you can claim to have the greenest LNG possible.

The technology to use renewables and outside the fence power sources already exists. Other jurisdictions are doing it; it is proven and existing technology. If we can convince industry and government to implement what is already proven and the proposed LNG facilities were built to those standards, we actually could have the cleanest LNG plants in existence. Or at least as clean as other countries have insisted on. While the LNG plants themselves can be built to the highest standards, they will still be a significant source of greenhouse gasses. And questions regarding the production of the natural gas to be liquefied, issues like fracking are contentious and difficult. Promises from politicians during elections are fragile and easily broken. Christie Clark’s government is not keeping her promise, or even trying. They are pretty much allowing foreign energy giants to dictate what environmental standards will be used.

Gerald Amos

Des Nobels

Just as the oil companies wrote recent federal environmental legislation affecting the Tar Sands, B.C. is following the same pattern with LNG industry. The excuse? That building the cleanest LNG industry is not “affordable”. But the Clean Energy report offers the following perspective on that: building the LNG facilities right would cost an additional 1.5 per cent. That additional cost

is not enough to make B.C. LNG uncompetitive. And like all things “green” nowadays, consumers, including massive industrial consumers, are paying more for green products, including green energy. The potential exists to actually make more money by simply doing it right. So the question that really needs answering is “Why wouldn’t you build the LNG production capacity right?”

One obvious answer to that is simply the world’s current economic model requires companies to make as much profit as possible in the shortest time frames, regardless of the consequences to local communities. It’s the same model that is driving Rio Tinto Alcan to try to persuade us to accept a massive increase in deadly sulphur dioxide pollution in our local airshed, and it’s the model that drives Enbridge and the Alberta oil industry to actually tell us that they could clean up an oil spill on our coast when everyone knows that’s a ridiculous claim. Clean Energy Canada does not take a position for or against LNG development; they simply lay out the options for B.C. What they do propose is not some radical environmental agenda – it is exactly what Christy Clark promised us, the cleanest LNG in the world. And that closely mirrors what Coastal First Nations proposed some time ago – building permanent

renewable energy sources in our region that will be a legacy for centuries, instead of doing what’s convenient for foreign gas companies. Building an energy infrastructure that could make this region a center for responsible development, not the poster child for broken promises, and road kill for Enbridge and Alberta oil companies. Maybe it’s time we should insist that a promise is a promise. Maybe being able to tell your grandkids that we stood for what’s right, and made leaders keep their promise, will be something to be proud of. We don’t have to settle for less than the best. We don’t have to accept broken promises. Tell Christy Clark to keep her promise.

EDITORIAL

Gas deals LAST WEEK’S deal between China and Russia in which the former is going to buy an estimated (US) $400 billion worth of natural gas over 30 years reveals the incredibly complicated world of energy in which B.C. hopes to become a player. Russia, in trouble in the West because of President Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine, builds a bridge to an ally in the East. Russia also earns 80 per cent of its energy revenue from sales to Europe and the West so another source of income is always welcome. China gains a next-door supplier of the kind of cleaner energy it needs to reduce its dependence upon polluting coal. While there’s no indication of price, news reports suggest Russia needed this deal more than China and as result, drove a hard bargain. That reinforces China with its current and growing incredible wealth as being the price setter for energy around the world. The more countries and companies the Chinese government and its state-controlled companies can bargain with, the better the price that can be negotiated. Other countries, eg. Korea and Japan, will naturally not want to pay more than what China does. And that puts increasing pressure on the companies seeking to establish a liquefied natural gas industry in B.C. as they balance costs against potential profits. No wonder that final LNG investment decisions seem a long way off. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

n May 14, a short video was posted on YouTube showing a cat chasing off a dog that had attacked a four-year-old boy who was pushing his tricycle up his inclined driveway. Moments before a dog trotted around a parked SUV and without provocation, grabbed the boy by one leg, dragging him to the ground, twirling him on the pavement and shaking him like a stuffed teddy. From out of nowhere, the six-year-old tabby launched herself like a missile slamming the dog broadside and knocking the eight-monthold Lab/Chow mix off its feet before chasing the dog around the SUV and out of sight. The cat ran back to the boy as though to check on his welfare. The boy required 10 stitches to close three gashes on his leg. The entire incident was caught on the family’s security surveillance, supplying authorities with indisputable evidence. Within three days, the video had been viewed more than three million times, and Jeremy with his parents interviewed on both ABC’s Daily Show and Good Morn-

A modelling deal for a line of cat hoodies and toys? A movie contract with the Hollywood producers of Spiderman? Or a salaried position as a guard cat? Meanwhile, an online controversy rages as the ani-

mal shelter where the dog is quarantined for 10 days before being euthanized has been inundated by offers to adopt the pup despite his vicious random attack on the child. Why don’t people step up to adopt one of the shelter’s 200 impounded dogs whose only crime is being homeless? Why did so many view the video of this astonishing rescue and forward a link to friends? I only know why I did. I forwarded the video to a couple of people who enjoy watching cat capers. I also sent the link to a few who have less time to squander reading news bits online; I felt the cat’s reaction was too noteworthy to miss. But as so often happens when I forward something, by noon, the video was featured on national TV newscasts and repeated on successive broadcasts. What made that video go viral? Our psychological motivations for sharing videos or articles are being studied by scientists, reports Natalie Kaitroeff in an article published in the May 19 New York Times. “People share things they

S TANDARD

have strong emotional reactions to, especially strong positive reactions,” Dr. Guadagno told Kaitroeff. Uplifting articles are more likely than disheartening ones to land on the mostemailed list at The New York Times. Misery loves company, and so does any sort of deeply affecting feeling. Sharing can also be driven by ego. Sharing a link that evokes laughter or gasps can confer status on the sharer. People build their online identities by sharing. They want others to think of them a certain way. Most notably, a company that measures online traffic suggests that people often share articles that they haven’t actually read. “What we found,” the company said, “is that there is no relationship whatsoever with the amount that the article is shared and the amount of engaged time and attention given to that article.” In other words, people may not bother to read or view an article or video themselves, but nevertheless audaciously pass it on to clog someone else’s emailbox.

THE ROAD to Jackpine Flats is no place for people to speed along in their vehicles.

Children at risk on rural road

Dear Sir: Jackpine Flats is a great place to drive for lots of reasons. If you live there – it’s because it’s home. If you don’t, it’s straight, long, flat pavement, quiet, no cops, no scales, no Department of Transport. Plus it’s a beautiful scenic drive. Residents of Jackpine honour the speed limits. It seems

the only non-residents of Jackpine who respect the signs are motorcyclists who love the ride and scenery on a nice day. Logging trucks, dump trucks, transport trucks, container trucks, and other work vehicles speed through Jackpine like it’s a freeway. This is a residential neighbourhood – 60 km/h tops. In the last few years, most of the kids have grown up and

moved on, so there haven’t been many children out on the streets. But now the neighborhood has a new generation of kids coming up. These little ones are playing in their yards, learning to ride bikes, and running around the neighborhood visiting each other. Nothing makes me sicker than to hear the sounds of kids laughing and playing and then see a loaded logging truck or

a transport truck fly by so fast the trees bend over. That’s all I have to say. If your work takes you through Jackpine Flats, you know who you are. And if you drive fast, you’re an ass. The RCMP needs to spend a little more time out here. As work activity picks up, so does the traffic. And it moves faster. Cindy Brown, Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir: The Atrum Coal company, which has tenures along the upper reaches of the Skeena River, is about to conduct an archaelogical impact assessment on its Groundhog anthracite coal development project pursuant to Section 14 of the provincial Heritage Conservation Act. We understand that the proposed anthracite project and the archaeological impact assessments would have an effect on all Gitxsan because the Skeena River is their main source of food supply of all species of fish. The Gitxsan have specific rights under Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution. The nature of the infringement is the Atrum tenure within the upper reaches of the Skeena River and the potential irreversible impact on salmon and animal habitat and the potential infringement on Gitxsan rights that result after archaeological fieldwork is done for a corporation. When archaeologists are paid by big corporations, it means there is potential accommodation to address an infringement upon an aboriginal nation. In my opinion, corporations have been pinpointing individual Gitxsan people to achieve this accommodation to address any infringement. But not only one Gitxsan lives along the Skeena River. And not only one Gitxsan can make decisions that will affect the lives of a whole nation of people – this means fish and animal habitat, botanical forest products, the ecosystem and birds. The Gitxsan Nation has lost too much already. The consultation and accommodation process by corporations is flawed and does not take into account the whole nation of Gitxsan people. To consult just one individual to change the face of the earth is totally wrong. Once this is done, there is no turning back. Corporations have found a loophole to take the land away and to do away with uncovered Indian artifacts. Mary Dalen, Cedarvale, B.C.

“Beating big oil” not the victory it seems

n April, the people of Kitimat voted 58 per cent against in a plebiscite on whether to support the Northern Gateway project. The anti-pipeline crowd has been celebrating their victory over “big oil” loudly and widely. They see it as a victory both in protecting the B.C. coast and in building a new relationship between progressive groups in Kitimat and the Haisla First Nation. What is confusing is the lack of acknowledgement of the environmental and human costs of this “victory.” At best, this is a win-lose outcome. All across western Canada, resource development partnerships are creating tangible improvements in the quality of life for First Nations and remote communities. Companies like Rio Tinto Alcan, Suncor and Cameco have supported Aboriginal economic and skills development, while also building prosperity that pays for schools and hospitals and ser-

vices all over the West. The confidence and satisfaction that come from high quality employment – and the opportunity to shape environmental standards – are creating many scenarios that appeal to the best values of westerners. At the same time, in the emerging economies of the world, people are climbing out of poverty and demanding higher quality food, energy and materials. This reduction in poverty is reducing family size, which in turn offers the best hope for the environmental future of the planet. In fact, the most important environmental question we face is whether the benefits of lowering population growth through poverty reduction will happen quickly enough to counter the increased environmental footprint of global industrialization. The answer to that question isn’t starving the developing world of necessary natural resources and raw materials. Rather, it lies with technology

GUEST COMMENT

DYLAN JONES and partnerships. None of that is advanced by simply opposing pipelines. It is tragic that environmentalists are often cast as ignorant zealots. We should celebrate the values of people who care deeply about, for example, the precious Douglas Channel. At the same time, it is absurd to think of oil companies as evil and greedy.

What I see is a lot of people across Western Canada trying to do the right thing. Casting these complex issues as battles of good versus evil just means we all lose. Also, we should not celebrate a community process that just further polarizes a difficult discussion. The non-binding plebiscite exercise seemed a long distance from the ideal of a community gathering and taking the time to learn about and grapple with some complex questions. So, was there a win here at all? Will Douglas Channel be saved? With the adoption of double-hulled tankers, the risks presented by oil tankers are radically lower than in the days of the Exxon Valdez spill in Prince William Sound. It is extremely unlikely that there would be any harm to the marine ecosystem from Northern Gateway. At the same time, there is some risk. It is a legitimate view to say that risk is unacceptable.

What is not legitimate is to deny the benefits in what is a very complex debate. The opportunities to help eliminate global poverty, to create meaningful employment across the West, to build new positive partnerships between industry, community and First Nations people, to fund schools and hospitals and services, are meaningful. More resources should also be directed to technologies that can help reduce carbons in emerging economies. Others will have different views on what to do with the proceeds of our oil, but no one should think that simply “beating big oil” and avoiding these potential wins is anything but a pyrrhic victory.

PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE

Environmental group questions conference Once at the conference, students toured the conference floor, which included a trade show, a post-secondary fair, interactive exhibits, and a Work BC program designed to help students identify potential career paths, and took photos with Premier Christy Clark. Students also took part in a dinner and panel discussion with MLAs, including education minister Peter Fassbender and jobs minister Shirley Bond, toured the University of British Columbia, and visited the Vancouver Aquarium. “The scope of the youth experience at the conference is broader than LNG,” said the ministry spokesperson.

“Rather than government spending additional money to create an event just for youth, this conference is an opportunity to share information with our youth stakeholders through an existing event.” Erasmus said the conference was a good opportunity for northwest students. “Everything that kids can learn about life beyond the classroom is beneficial in terms of expanding their horizons,” he said. But one local environmental group raised concerns that the students would not receive a balanced view of the LNG industry and its potential impacts. “Students are young minds and eas-

ily moulded and they're forming opinions, and when industry offers an all expenses paid trip to an industry conference when 90 per cent of the speakers are pushing industry, I don't think they're getting a very balanced view,” said North West Watch representative Anne Hill. “I think it's much more than a field trip.” Erasmus disagreed. “If I'm a parent, and there's a conference where you can learn something about some topic, and it won't cost you anything as parent, why would the parent want to object to that regardless of where the money comes from?” he said. “And remember our policy in terms of ac-

cepting donations, we don't endorse products and we don't endorse services,” he continued. That policy states that any donation or sponsorship over $5,000 needs to be received in writing and co-ordinated by the secretary treasurer, a policy which Erasmus said was followed. And there is interest in having the students at an upcoming board meeting to talk about their trip. “It's not on the books yet but I'm certainly going to ask that we have some students come to a board meeting and tell us about it,” Erasmus said.

The Regional District is developing a program to collect garbage and household recyclables ‘at the curb’ from residences in the communities of Chimdemash, Usk, Gossan, Kleanza, Copperside, New and Old Remo, North Terrace, Thornhill, Jackpine Flats and the Lakelse Lake highway accessible areas. Please plan to attend a public Open House if you live or own property in any of these areas. The Open House will be held on June 10, 2014 from 4 pm – 9 pm at the Terrace Sportsplex -Banquet Room. You can also ﬁnd information on the project website at www.rdks.bc.ca or e-mail your comments to info@rdks.bc.ca. A program questionnaire is also being developed and will be available at the Open House, on-line, and using the ‘QR’ below. The Regional District continues to consult with stakeholders to provide additional information and details on the proposed services and to ask aﬀected residents for feedback and input on key servicing questions.

It’s Bike to Work week BIKE TO Work week hits the halfway mark today, with workers across Terrace taking part in a healthier commute. This year, the traditional May Bike to Work Week has been combined with an optional effort called Bike to Boogie to raise money for improvements to Shames Mountain through the My Mountain Co-op. Participants are being asked to raise money based on the number of kilometres they cycle or for a one-time donation.

A commuter breakfast is planned for tomorrow, May 30, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. in front of the My Mountain Co-op office and the Chill Shop with healthy snacks and prizes. And there’s a wrap-up barbecue Saturday, June 1, at Shames Mountain for all Bike to Work Week and Bike to Boogie riders and supporters. That’s also the day of the Bike to Shames cycling event which sees cyclists ride up the Shames Mountain Road.

He’s not your average pastor BRAD REID doesn’t look like you’d expect a pastor to be: in a polo shirt, jeans, shoes with red laces and a huge smile that makes him look younger than his 36 years. Laid back pretty much describes his personality and the same is what drew him up here to become the new pastor at Zion Baptist Church. “You’re able to come in as you are,” he said about the attitude of the congregation toward themselves and visitors. And the more he heard about the church and the great potential here, the more he felt God was calling him here. So Reid and his family, wife Colleen and sons Carlon, 5, Noah, 3, and Iain, 18-months-old moved on up from the Lower Mainland. Reid had been a youth pastor from 2004 to 2011 at his former church Bethany Baptist, in Richmond, and then became an associate pastor. The church needed a Mandarin-speaking minister instead and

his position was eliminated, after which he spent about a year unemployed. “This is a great time to be here, what God can do here at Zion in the city and how the church can get involved with that and connect with people,” he said. The church is looking to connect with the community with its first-ever Vacation Bible School, essentially a children’s day camp, in July. And a longtime friend of Reid’s, youth pastor Chris Miller at West Kelowna’s Lakeview Heights Baptist Church, is coming up with some young people to help out. To help him build connections with the church and community, a facebook page and website have been started. Reid went to church as a child and then quit for a while before starting again at age 15 and getting really involved. He became a Christian and as he neared graduation, a youth pastor told him he should consider going into the

schools for his fouryear degree. He began at the North American Baptist College in Edmonton where he could live at home with his parents for his first year, then transferred to Northwest Baptist College in Langley for his sec-

ond and third years and ended up at Briercrest Bible College in Caronport, Saskatchewan for his fourth year. He’s in the midst of a Master of Christian Arts program at ACTS Seminaries in Langley. And back to his being different than your

usual pastor, Reid collects comic books, Marvel and DC superheroes, and has thousands since he started collecting when he was about five-years-old. There’s even a few Marvel items on the bookshelf in his office at the church.

So he was pleased to see that there’s a comic book store in town. He and his family haven’t had a lot of time yet to see the area, but have gone to the farmers market and he’s looking forward to fishing, which he hasn’t done for many years.

Bands golden at MusicFest

SKEENA MIDDLE School concert and jazz bands along with Caledonia Senior Secondary brought home top awards from MusicFest Canada, held in Richmond this year. And two Skeena band students were recognized: an honour jazz award for Tyler Dozzi, and an honour concert award for Alex Robinson. Skeena concert and jazz bands both won gold in their categories. They also played a song by composer Neil Yorke-Slader, a Toronto composer who heard them play it in a workshop he did with them and said they were “awesome,” said band teacher Susan Brouwer, adding that he then helped them become even better. In their off time, the students took in as much as they could including the Olympic Oval and its climbing wall, Spamalot, plus they heard the ConnSelmer National Honour Jazz Band and performed a concert in Moricetown at the elementary school. The Caledonia concert band won a gold standing, the jazz band earned silver and the choir won silver, said band teacher Geoff Parr. “All the ensembles performed their best at MusicFest Canada,,” he said. Caledonia students also saw the University of Michigan Men’s Chorus, a Cirque du Soleil performance and the musical comedy Spamalot.

crafty friend of mine gave me a wonderful homemade birthday card, in which an old-fashioned bicycle practically leaps off the page, along with the bold words “Every day is an adventure.” It was the perfect card at the perfect moment for so many reasons. Spring has sprung and I got to take a road trip the other weekend to Salmon Arm. I’d never been to the Shuswap before, and I loved it. Completely gorgeous country, like something out of an old western movie. I was travelling with my son, who was as happy as I was to be cruising along the highway, passing the many miles away with audio books and singing-with-the-iPod sessions. We rocked out like no one was around—because no one was! My daughter is getting married, as some of you know, a huge adventure for her and her husband to be, but also for us, her family. My son is newly 18, about to graduate high school, and has career plans, but even more immediately, exciting hopes to work and travel. And those two events—daughter marrying, son growing up and gallivanting—open my husband and I up to a whole new phase of life. I’m not worried about empty nest syndrome, though. I think of it as prime-RV-ing/ holidaying for two time. Adding to the adventure theme— and fleshing in some extra details to the big changes I’ve alluded to in recent past columns, I’ve decided to be brave and do what I love—write—full

JUST A THOUGHT

EV BISHOP

Every day is an adventure time. Kids growing up, making plans, going. . . . Career upheaval. A big property to play in (and work on). So many changes! So many adventures! Every day feels like there’s something new and exciting just ahead. But life’s not always like that. Not even close. I’m fortunate because the changes I mentioned above and my recent adventures have been really positive—and fun. That’s not always the case with adventures. Sometimes they’re scary or painful. Sometimes they’re struggles to

survive. It’s lovely when the adventure in your day is a stretch of road you’ve never driven before and the sun is kind, the conditions good. It’s fantastic when the adventure involves finding a new groove or making a new friend. It’s hard to bear, however, when the day gives you financial woes or relationship troubles, or serious illness visits you or your loved ones. Negative events are adventures too—just ones you wish would skip you by. I don’t know how to make sense of why life is sometimes so good and full and abundant—and why at other times, it’s so difficult it almost wears you to death. But maybe I don’t need to know—can’t know. Maybe, as hard as it is to do, I need to choose to see each day as an adventure to, yes, celebrate the good—but also to help cope with the bad. Seeing adversity as a dragon to slay, a battle to fight through, a famine to seek nourishment in, can only help us. Choosing to learn from, or through, hardship diminishes its power to inflict long-term damage. All that’s easier said then done, of course— much more difficult in practice. But maybe that’s why so many beneficial things are referred to as “practices” in the first place. The little bicycle card is one of those gifts I’m going to keep, most likely forever. It’s just such a good reminder. So fun and cheerful when days are easy, but encouraging when times are tough. Every day really is an adventure.

The trio attended a trades conference in a city on the outskirts of Beijing called Langfang where they met with officials from the city of Qinhuangdao and Hebei province. In attendance was the mayor of Qinhuangdao and manufacturing officials from the QETDZ located within that city, the vice governor of Hebei as well as two B.C. government trade officials stationed in Beijing. Pernarowski said the talks were held over long dinners with a focus on responding to questions the potential investors had about what to expect when doing business in Canada, as well as laying a foundation for a working relationship. “We are going to be establishing a working group that would be a combination of administrative staff from the city along with QETDZ officials to help move the project forward and make sure all the proper steps are being taken to get something done pretty quickly,” said Pernarowski.

ARTIST AND teacher Dempsey Bob speaks to graduating students of UBC after receiving his honorary doctorate May 21 at the university’s Vancouver campus.

Artist shares doctorate with his family, people LOCAL AND world renowned Tahltan-Tlingit artist Dempsey Bob was awarded a degree of Doctor of Letters honoris causa by the University of BC at a ceremony in Vancouver May 21 “in recognition of his work as a foremost artist and as a cultural preservationist and ambassador.” Bob thanked his family for their support, pausing at one point as emotion overtook him. “This is for my...for my mother, for my father, for my grandfather, my grandmother, my greatgrandfather who was an artist from Alaska,” he said, adding it was also for his teacher Freda Diesing and several others. He also thanked his children and grandchildren. “I didn’t get here by myself, I had a lot of help and support of my family and my people and had a lot of great teachers. Art is about learning, life is about learning and to be really good at anything takes a lot of courage and a lot of believing in yourself. Graduates now you have to grab that, keep that confidence in what you’ve learned and start to use it because then you’ll go somewhere because it takes a lot of courage to be good, perseverance and life is about learning, about society and technology is changing so fast, you will be left behind if you just stop learning.” “I see this as recognition for my ancestors, my people, artists, my grandparents and all of our people...When I was in high school, I got a C- in art because I didn’t draw the way my teacher wanted me to draw, but now I’m looking for her.” Bob was born in 1948 in the Tahltan community of Telegraph Creek and “survived dire circumstanc-

es and an unsympathetic school system to train in the Tahltan-Tlingit style of Aboriginal art” said UBC president Stephen Toope in his speech before giving the doctorate to Bob. “Today he is internationally regarded as one of the foremost aboriginal artists of his generation, and his sculptures, castings, jewelry and prints are seen by countless visitors to museums, galleries and public spaces around the world, including Vancouver International Airport.” In a recent lecture, Bob said that he had few teachers as he progressed as an artist because people knowledgeable in the traditions of Tahltan carving had greatly decreased in number due to the decimation of aboriginal communities whose artists had developed the work over multiple generations, said Toope. “His accomplishments therefore extend beyond his vast body of work to include the reclamation of identity and culture of earlier generations.” Bob now lives in Terrace where he is the senior advisor to the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art at the Northwest Community College’s main campus. Bob started his carving career in 1969 under the teaching of Freda Diesing and within five years had made his first major works. “After four decades of commitment to northwest coast aboriginal art as both practitioner and teacher, he has inspired two generations to learn and excel, and his contributions have been recognized with many honours and awards, including his appointment just this year as an Officer of the Order of Canada,” said Toope.

Nurses to rally and march on Saturday THE BC Nurses’ Union (BCNU) is staging a Walk With Nurses, Talk With Nurses rally this Saturday in George Little Park aimed at raising awareness around challenges facing health care services because of predicted population growth in the region and budgetary strain at the provincial and federal level. A march around town starts at 10:30 a.m. at the sidewalk in front of Mills Memorial Hospital and then there is a gathering in George Little Park downtown at 11 a.m. Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin will be speaking along with North Coast NDP MLA Jennifer Rice from Prince Rupert, Terrace city councillor Marylin Davies, community health nurse Michael Prevost and BCNU northwest chair Sharon Sponton. Walk with Nurses, Talk with Nurses organizer Kathy Buell was supported by city council in a resolution passed in April in support of the rally. Buell told council recent reductions in health care budgets will affect not just core services like nurse staffing but also agencies that provide health-related services in the community. “I have been in nursing for 30 years and I have never heard this many nurses want to speak,” said Buell. The ongoing resource boom which continues to bring large numbers of workers to the region is putting pressure not only on hospitals but also on support service agencies such as the Terrace and District Community Services Society (TDCSS), said Buell. “There’s a group of nurses at the hospital and in the community who want to look at how to bring some of the issues on cutbacks in healthcare forward,” she said. “Nurses across the northwest want a way to voice our health care concerns which are rising, especially in communities that are seeing a substantial growth in population.” Austin said he plans to address issues surrounding the federal government’s decision not to renew the nation-

al health care accord as well as the provincial government’s slimming of health care spending in the 2014 budget. “We’re losing $300 million a year [in B.C.] as a result of that change in the [federal] fund-

ing formula. We’ve got more seniors moving here than ever before, we’ve lost money from the federal government which would have continued had we stayed on the path of a 6 per cent annual rise,” said Aus-

tin. BCNU chair Sharon Sponton said part of dealing with the boom will be enhancing services for those with mental disabilities and the homeless. “As we see an influx

of people coming, hospital and infrastructure have a limited amount of capacity,” Sponton continued. “Kitimat would double in population and how do you accommodate that kind of

growth?” She said the union predicts stress on health care services for youths, disabled people and on preventative health care programs. There are also predictions of a hike in

communicable diseases. “We are stretched and we have been for some time. Nurses have long been unable to give the kind of care they graduated wanting to deliver,” said Sponton of the situation.

When Honda launched its fourth generation Odyssey in 2011, it described the minivan as ‘the ultimate in family transportation’. Odyssey has become an industry benchmark for minivan interior versatility features, fuel economy and its agile driving dynamics. While the market for new minivans has been shrinking in recent years, it’s still a sizeable in Canada. A used Odyssey is a sought-after premium product that will probably cost a little more, but historically it also retains its value exceptionally well. Compared to its predecessor, the 2011 Odyssey offered improved fuel economy

King of the open road and a giant among minivans due in part to a more aerodynamic shape that’s wider and includes a lower roofline. Offering seating for up to seven (or eight) occupants, this Odyssey also came with a new “3-mode” second-row seat design and an easier to use fold-away 60/40 split 3rdrow seat. Even its third row seat provides ample head and legroom for adults and a surprisingly high degree of comfort. Its stylish “lightning-bolt” body belt line, that zig-zag just aft of the sliding door, also cleverly provides third row passengers a larger window. A bigger part of the fuel economy improvement story was the new 3.5-litre i-VTEC V6 engine that came with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM). The VCM technology

It got a back-up camera as standard equipment for 2013, but was otherwise unchanged. Designed, engineered and made in North America, the fourth-generation Honda Odyssey has a very good reliability record and achieved a “Top Safety Pick” rating based on its Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s crash testing results.

Council tightens parking regs By JOSH MASSEY CITY COUNCIL has decided to start charging businesses if they don’t supply the number of parking spots required by the city’s bylaw. The decision takes the form of an amendment to the city’s parking bylaw and will mean that a new business must pay $3,500 for every parking spot below the requirement. Currently the city’s parking bylaw stipulates the number of parking spots a new business must have if they open in the downtown core based on the total area of the proposed building and also – in the case of restaurants and hotels – the number of rooms or tables. City planner David Block told council that typically variance permits are generously granted to businesses to allow them to significantly reduce the number of parking spots. With a new fee in place, said Block, a variance permit might be granted for approximately 50 per cent of

THE CITY wants more businesses to provide their own parking. parking spots in situations where parking spaces are difficult for a business to provide, after which a one-time charge of $3,500 will be levied per spot that is lacking. This money will be put into what is called the Parking Acquisition Equity Fund to go toward enhancing city parking projects. However, the permitted uses of this fund changed several years ago to include anything transportation-related, and this concerned city

council. “But where does the money go?” councillor James Cordeiro queried. He was backed by all the other councillors at the table including Stacey Tyers, Brian Downie, Lynne Christiansen and Marylin Davies who wanted some assurance that the money would actually go toward developing solutions to Terrace’s downtown parking congestion. Earlier in the night, the Terrace Downtown Improvement Area So-

ciety presented a list of recommendations to council which included building a parkade in front of the Sportsplex where there is currently a grassy hill, a plan that Lynne Christiansen opposed. At first, Downie was the only councillor who thought $3,500 was enough for in-lieu payments, an amount which is in fact lower than the cost of building a parking spot when the value of the land is included, though he said the recommendation “doesn’t

go far enough” in outlining how the money will be spent. Tyers said that Terrace should aim higher with this fee and go with a number more along the lines of Smithers, which starts at $5,500 and is moving to $10,000 per in-lieu parking spot. The amount that Terrace would charge is at the bottom of a list of comparable fees in other municipalities, she noted. “We need an amount that will enable us to acquire land if we need it,” said Tyers. “It seems backwards that when we are looking for more parking, we are giving them an ‘out’ instead,” said Christiansen. In the end, council voted to accept the $3,500 in-lieu fee, however, they decided to review the amount at a future time. The amendment to the parking bylaw was voted on at the May 26 council meeting. The in-lieu charge will apply only to new business and those that are redeveloping.

Obituaries

Vicki Jane McQuade June 13, 1949 - May 21, 2014

The world lost one of its sweetest, most gentle souls on May 21st, 2014, with the passing of Vicki McQuade at UHNBC in Prince George. Inspiring, dynamic, compassionate and full of laughter, Vicki enriched many lives. Vicki shared her resourcefulness and thirst for knowledge with students she tutored and students and staff at Centennial Christian School, where she taught as a learning assistance teacher for many years. Vicki, predeceased by her husband, Bill McQuade, is survived by her best friend and sister, Linda Wynder, her two daughters, Leslie (Michael) and B.J. (Darren). Vickiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandchildren, McKenzie, Emily, Sydney, Hayden and Sarah will miss their Nana and her funloving spirit (and the mentos, mints and candies she always had in her purse or office). Third born of seven sisters, Vickiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sisters Deena (Sig), Linda, Brenda (Don), Helen and Laura (Rob) have lost a precious jewel in their family. Vicki was a dear friend and left her mark on the hearts of many. Vicki is walking with God and singing songs around the campfires of heaven, with her sister Wanda, her Mom and Dad, her cherished friends and beloved husband. A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, June 2nd at the Evangelical Free Church, Terrace, B.C. at 11 a.m.

Northmen top social side at Rugbyfest THE TERRACE Northmen rugby club played hard at the first official tournament of the season – and it paid off. The team topped the social side of Edmonton’s Rugbyfest after an “interesting” weekend that saw them face off against more elite teams than usual. A combining of the two official categories, the elite group and the social group, took place after some elite teams couldn’t attend. That meant the round robin saw some tough competition. “We always played them really tough,” said Northman Adam Linteris of the initial games. “They definitely had to earn their wins, but a couple of them did get past us unfortunately.” The team got pushed into the social semi-finals where they saw a couple of aggressive games against the Calgary Saracens – Calgary took the first game by three points, but when the Northmen played them again “we took it to them pretty good,” said Linteris. “We played it tough and we pulled that out.” The final saw them up against the Clansmen from Edmonton. “It was a really good game and we ended up edging them out in the end,” he said. “Took a big win.” Linteris said the team played physical the entire tournament, which may have thrown some teams – and the refs – off. “A lot of teams try to stay out of the contact and we’re always looking for it I guess,” he said. The team benefited from a large roster of guys ready to play. “We were never really losing steam,”

THE TERRACE Northmen played their typical aggressive style at Rugbyfest in Edmonton over the May long weekend. he said, noting the team ran hockey subs up until the semi-finals. “You run a big run, get tired, come off and get a fresh guy in there, so guys didn’t really have to dig down deep because there was always a fresh set of legs

to take over,” he said. “But when we got to the semi-finals, we had to cut our roster down to 12 guys and there were some definite all-stars that emerged.”

Hockey volunteers urgently needed: TMHA THE FATE of house hockey in Terrace is currently under threat because the Terrace Minor Hockey Association (TMHA) can’t find someone to volunteer for one of its top positions. The 1st Vice position has been vacant since the end of the season and TMHA has not been able to find anyone to step up. The non-profit association has posted notices in the paper saying that the hockey season will not start until the position is filled. TMHA president Terri Soucie says the lack of volunteers, which is an ongoing issue, is “disheartening”, noting that only five people showed up for the recent AGM. There are nearly 365 youths who play hockey in Terrace. While there is a core group of volunteers, it isn’t enough, she said. If more people volunteered, it would ease everyone’s load and help make running the organization more manageable. “It’s to the point, if you don’t get more people to volunteer, are you going to have to begin paying people to do it? And then you’re going to have to start charging more for registration and that sort of

thing to cover all the costs,” she said. “I’m not really sure what the answers are.” The association is especially unsure what to do about the 1st Vice position – the position, which is in charge of house hockey and requires strong organizational skills and a thick skin, is a big role. Ideally, TMHA could get someone in the position now so they could be trained under the former 1st Vice (Theresa Hutchinson, who Soucie describes as “a miracle worker”) over the summer and be ready for the season. If someone doesn’t come forward, “house division itself will suffer, it will be disorganized,” she said, noting that its organization could fall to existing volunteers who already have a lot on their plate. “My biggest fear is that we’ll lose the volunteers that we have because they’ll be overwhelmed.” And it would be great to get volunteers with children in tyke or novice, so they could grow with the organization over the years, she said, noting that volunteers with strong hockey knowledge are also in demand.

Kitchen and Monkman qualify for Team BC NORTHWEST VOLLEYBALL players Cassidy Kitchen and Morgan Monkman are taking their game to the next level once again. The pair have been tapped for the Team BC 18/17U team following tryouts in Burnaby May 18-19. That means, after high performance training at Thompson Rivers University this summer, they’ll represent B.C. at the elite level national tournament in Winnipeg July 15-20. The National Team Challenge Cup is an annual competition that in non Canada Games years acts as the pinnacle of Team BC competition. Provincial teams from across Canada gather to compete. Terrace’s Kitchen and Smithers’ Monkman have some experience playing at this level – Kitchen made Team BC 17U last year, while Monkman played for the Western Elites 16U squad.

‘There was not one weak link on the team’ Linteris points to the starting seven in the semi-finals: Phillip Blundon, Jamie McKinstrie, Jordy DaCosta, Walker Main, Werner Pienaar, James Dorrett and Jordan Schibli, but adds that the entire team came to play. “Everyone exceeded expectations, I think, of themselves and of the team,” he said. “There was not one weak link on the team.”

“It was nice to see the practising paying off,” he continued. The team hosts the Williams Lake Rustlers this Saturday, May 31 at the Northwest Community College field. “It’s going to be an interesting one,” he said. “Last year, they were extremely dominant but travel teams tend to be a little bit weaker than home teams, so it should be a really good game, a really tough game.”

he famous writer of fishing books, John Gierach, titled one of his works Standing in Water Waving a Stick, which, when used to describe its author, who is an ardent devotee of bamboo rods, is apt as well as being the finest title for a book on angling since Roderick Haig-Brown’s A River Never Sleeps. If you are going to pursue fish with a fly rod on a river, you will spend most of that chase up to, or past, your knees in cold water. During that time you need some kind of gear that will keep that water away from your body. There are exceptions, of course. Anglers who prowl the flats in tropical seas searching for bonefish and permit, being more concerned with keeping the sun off their skin, wade wet. In June and July it’s possible to wade the Skeena wearing only wading boots (provided you don’t wade past your knees) as I do, but, for the most part, fly fishing for salmon demands wading gear. If you look at the illustrations in Isaak Walton’s The Complete Angler and other old English treatises on angling you won’t find specialized wading wear. This is understandable considering that Walton, Cotton, and their contemporaries used greenheart switches a dozen or more feet in length that had braided horse hair leaders attached to their tips to fish narrow streams that required no wading. On the other hand, the salmon streams of Scotland and Ireland are large. There, boots were mandatory, and I suspect that the Duke of Wellington may

Soccer stars set for Indigenous Games

THREE TERRACE soccer players are part of a roster of young men travelling to Saskatchewan this summer to represent B.C. at the 2014 North American Indigenous Games. Josh Grant, Clark Matthews, and Harry Moore are part of Aboriginal Team BC, U16 and U18 boys division, Team North-Skeena. They’ll represent the province next month in Regina, Saskatchewan at the North American Indigenous Games 2014. To make it to the continental tournament, the teams played their hearts out at a grueling provincial tournament last August in the Fraser Valley. Five regions took part in the tough tournament, with North-Skeena U16 boys and U18 boys winning both of their divisions to represent as Team BC. Team North-Skeena is diverse with many First Nations players from the local region – Haisla, Haida, Wet'suwet'en, and a vast majority from the Gitxsan Nations. Coaches Chris Daniels and Warren Maitland have been setting up team practices weekly in Kitwanga and Hazelton on alternating weeks. Team BC will journey to Regina July 19 and will play a tough international rules tournament against North

ish War Office contracted the North British Rubber Company to build enough rubber Wellington-like boots for the British soldiers fighting flooded trenches. In the end over a million pairs of trench boots were made. In WWII business in rubberized Wellingtons, standard and thigh high models, became brisk again when the Brits found themselves sloshing about in flooded parts of the Netherlands. Known variously as wells, topboots, billy boots, gavin’s, gummies, Alaskan sneakers, or just plain gum boots, Wellingtons, in one form or another are used all over the globe and are the most useful and practical form of footwear ever invented. One of the latest versions are those made by a company called Muck Boots that combine a light rubberlike polymer boot with neoprene uppers that extend to the knee. I bought a pair of pairs two years ago, one with deck boot soles for the yard and garden, and one with rugged lug soles for the woods, which are superb for all those uses. Since Wellington boots have been around since the mid-1800s and the rubberized versions have been in use since 1860, it is highly likely that anglers quickly appreciated their usefulness for fishing. The highest Wellington came only to the thigh. With straps attached it became the hip wader. Many fishing situations require deeper wading than hip waders will permit. So, when was the first chest wader invented and by whom? To be continued...

DAVE MERRITT, Terrace Economic Development Authority director, right, answers questions from Fred Tuftin of Prince George during the 2014 Minerals North Conference held in Vanderhoof May 21-23.

Miners remain optimistic despite exploration drop By TODD HAMILTON DESPITE A drop of about 30 per cent in exploration in 2013 and the temporary shutdown of a number of coal mines, the message delivered at the 2014 Minerals North Conference in Vanderhoof last week was one of optimism. In what amounted to a state of the industry address to delegates at the conference, provincial mines and energy minister Bill Bennett said the start-up of three new mines and the anticipated June power-up of BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line along with the commencement of operations at the $500 million Red Chris Mine north of Terrace proves mining in northwest B.C. is on the rise, not decline. Although $474 million was spent in exploration in the province in 2013 and of that $201 million in the northwest B.C. region, which was down approximately 30 per cent from 2012, the number, delegates and presenters at the conference said, is misleading. More than $600 million had been spent in 2012 and the 2013 numbers, while down, were still a record. “We’ve been doing really well in B.C. Both 2012 and 2013 were records for B.C., we need to sustain that ... we need not to rest on our laurels ... we need to figure out ways to make sure that trajectory continues to go up and that we continue to see more exploration investment in B.C. every year,” Bennett said. “In 2001 ... it was about $30 million.” Bennett said lower commodity prices were to blame for the drop from 2012’s record levels. Regardless, despite the halt to some coal production due to low prices, the numbers were encouraging.

“I know the [mining] industry is going through one of the typical tough times or difficult times ... because of commodity prices right now,” he said. “Surprisingly, the number of jobs in the industry were actually up three per cent over last year because of the new mines ... we also produced and shipped more coal and ore this past year even though prices were down.” Bennett also added that the dip from 2012 levels were not necessarily a harbinger of things to come for Terrace’s blossoming reputation as a service hub for mining exploration. “Typically, when commodity prices go down, you see, especially after you come out of, what you might call, a supercycle, you had a bunch of small, new companies get started, you do see a fair number of [those] companies disappear during the downcycle ... there hasn’t been as many disappear as typically there would be,” he said. “In fact, just over the last three months or four months, junior companies have been finding funding easier than what they were a year ago ... not to suggest everything is peachy because I know it’s not ... but it is getting better, it is getting stronger.” Terrace and northwest B.C., over the past decade, has benefitted from a major increase in mineral exploration and it’s something Bennett said needs to continue. “The exploration side of the industry is really important. You can’t have mines unless you have that lonely person out there kickin’ over rocks and finding something that makes it worthwhile to go out and raise some money and put a drill program on and take it from there,” he said.

Walmart to add full grocery line at store here WALMART HAS announced plans to place a full-service grocery service within its store here. Renovations are being timed to introduce a full line of food items by late this year. “Once the renovations are complete, the store will offer a full line of groceries including bakery goods, deli, meat and dairy products as well as fresh produce,” said Walmart official Rosalyn Carneiro. The footprint of the Walmart store here, called a discount store because it does not sell a full line of groceries, won’t be expanded, she added. “The store is being remodelled, but not expanded. No exterior walls are being touched. All of the work is done within the existing stores. Departments are moved around to accommodate the addition of food,” said Caneiro. Once renovations are done, the store will be known as a Walmart Su-

percentre, she said. As it is, the Terrace Walmart already sells dairy, canned goods and other basic non-perishable grocery items. The expansion here into a full grocery service is part of a concerted effort by Walmart to expand its market share across the country. In all, it is spending about $376 million on 35 projects to add food to current stores and to build six new stores. Walmart is also expanding its ecommerce division with more online sales options. At last count in B.C. there were 29 Supercentres and 10 discount stores, part of a total 390 Walmarts in Canada. The closest Walmart store to the one in Terrace is a discount Walmart located in Prince Rupert and the next closest is a Walmart store in Prince George.

Apprentice tour makes local stop A TOUR partially sponsored by Enbridge Northern Gateway to provide information on apprenticeship training stops in Terrace tomorrow. Training institutions, community groups and colleges began the tour in Prince George May 26 and end tomorrow in Prince Rupert. The tour is holding a session today in Kitimat and stops have already been made in Burns Lake and Houston. “This is an idea that really came from our community advisory boards, they told us something was needed to connect job seekers with opportunities,” explained Enbridge Northern Gateway official Catherine Pennington. “We’ve said all along that training opportunities for northern residents are more than about our [Northern Gateway] pipeline. There’s a direct interest in building up skilled labour in the north.” Current development and the potential for a regional liquefied natural gas industry bringing gas via pipelines to plants in Kitimat and in Prince Rupert have led to numerous calls to provide skills and job training for northerners.

and other groups met with a good response, leading to the tour’s organization, she added. Enbridge is paying for rental space and associated costs in the six communities where the tour is stopping but participants are covering their own direct expenses. Participants on the Pathways to Apprenticeship tour include the Metis Nation of British Columbia, the Christian Labour Association of Canada labour union, the UA Piping Industry College, the provincial government’s Industry Training Authority, the College of New Caledonia, the northwest based aboriginal business finance agency called Tricorp, groups belonging to the provincial government’s employment services agency called WorkBC and Northwest Community College. Not all of the groups will be in each and every location, said Pennington. She said that Northwest Community College was invited to place its logo on a poster advertising the tour but declined. The Terrace event takes place at the Sportsplex beginning at 10 a.m. May 29.

IT’S GETTING crowded in front of the airport’s terminal building.

Third aircraft spot to be constructed A NORTHERN development agency is providing $250,000 to help pay for a third aircraft parking spot in front of the Northwest Regional Airport’s terminal. “The addition of a third aircraft parking area will allow the airport to service three commercial aircraft at one time, also resulting in a reduction in the wait time for passengers in the terminal building,” a Northern Development Initiative Trust press release indicated. The trust, which is financed through interest and investments stemming from the long-term lease of BC Rail track to CN, has helped finance other northern airport projects. Airport manager Carman Hendry said the project is expected to be completed by the end of October in time for the winter season. Traffic has been growing steadily at the airport over the past several years thanks to Rio Tinto Alcan’s smelter project in Kitimat, the construction of BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line and other indus-

trial developments. The actual cost of the apron is estimated at just under $1 million. It will consist of a thick concrete pad designed to hold the weight of commercial aircraft. The airport will realize some cost savings by crushing rock material found on its property. Northern Development Initiative Trust executive director Janine North said the trust has provided $14 million to 18 northern airport improvement projects worth a combined $113 million. “We believe that airports in the north are really key to economic development,” she said. With predictions of thousands of people being needed based on current economic projections, airports will grow in importance, said North. Grants provided by the trust can then be used to leverage grants from governments, she added. “What they do is show that the airports have some skin in the game,” said North.

Enbridge bursary money remains in limbo

NORTHWEST COMMUNITY College is still trying to figure out a way to pass along $15,000 in Enbridge bursary money to its students. College administrators first accepted the money in early March in the form of six $2,500 bursaries and were preparing to decide who among 71 applicants were to receive the money but that was stopped when the college board decided to send the money back just weeks later. The company’s planned Northern Gateway pipeline to carry Alberta crude to a marine export terminal at Kitimat has been heavily criticized as a risk to the environment for potential land-based and ocean spills. At that time of the board’s rejection, chair Rhoda Witherly said the college would somehow work on getting the money to deserving students. And that’s still the case Witherly said last week. “But we still haven’t come to an exact mechanism,” she added. “Staff were nervous about being seen to circumvent what was a board motion.” Witherly described the situation in which the intent is to help deserving students as “quite awkward.” Enbridge Northern Gateway official Catherine Pennington said she was frustrated by what has happened. “We’re still completely dedicated [to the bursaries] but haven’t yet been given a mechanism. We have made overtures to the college,” she said. “We’ve asked the college board chair to give us some ideas.” One idea suggested by Enbridge is for it to provide letters to the college which would then distribute them to the students who had originally applied. The letters would invite the students to contact Enbridge directly so the company could then choose the six successful applicants.

“A strong B.C. economy benefits all Canadians” - John Winter, President & CEO, B.C. Chamber of Commerce

“Small business in B.C. drives our economy,” says John. “Northern Gateway’s commitment to buy and hire locally will generate jobs and lasting economic opportunities for small businesses along the right-of-way and throughout the province. That’s what we’ve seen time and again when large-scale nation-building infrastructure projects like Northern Gateway are built in B.C.”

An investment in B.C. small business One of the most promising aspects of the Project is Northern Gateway’s commitment to supporting small business. Over the course of the construction phase alone, over $800 million in goods and services will be purchased from local businesses in Northern B.C.

A strong economy and a clean environment can go hand-in-hand John Winter believes that B.C.’s commitment to a strong business climate and high environmental standards sends a powerful message to international investors looking to B.C. and to Canada. “The investment community has been closely watching the Northern Gateway project. It’s an indicator of our openness to resource development and other investments. The recent decision by the Joint Review Panel to recommend approval of the Project sends the message that B.C. and Canada are open for business.” “I believe Northern Gateway will meet the high environmental standards we all expect. With natural, deep-water access to the Pacific, a skilled workforce and a tradition of doing things right, B.C. is well-positioned to move oil safely westward, to the high-demand markets in Asia.” Northern Gateway welcomes the support of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce because in addition to building a safer, better pipeline, we are helping to build a better B.C.

The Northern Gateway Project promises to be one of the largest private investments this province has ever seen. The Project’s importance to B.C. and to Canada John Winter, a respected business executive and small business advocate, believes that Northern Gateway will help secure Canada’s economy for tomorrow’s generation. “A strong B.C. economy benefits all Canadians. By opening up new markets for our country’s most valuable commodity, Northern Gateway will create new economic opportunities for small business, for workers, and for B.C. communities. That’s good for British Columbia. And it’s good for Canada.”
