Huge housing complex planned By JOSH MASSEY A HOUSING mega-complex planned for a section of land bounded by Kenney and Park in the Horseshoe will be the largest such development in Terrace since the 1980s. Details have emerged of Calgary-based Coast to Coast Holdings Inc.'s plans for what could be more than 180 apartment and townhouse units to be built by combining nearly 5.5 acres assembled through two private sales and a land purchase from the city. Most of the land was once the
home of a provincial government highways maintenance yard but the buildings were taken down more than 20 years ago and the land was subdivided and sold off. Now Coast to Coast owns these two parcels as well as another small parcel immediately north of them. The property that the city sold to Coast to Coast is right on the corner of Kenney and Park and is planned to be a 105-unit apartment complex. Beside it is planned another housing complex with at least 7075 units. North of that, toward the
corner of Walsh and Kenney, will be a six-unit townhouse complex, for which a development permit has already been applied for. The city is selling its 2.4 acre parcel for $951,000, far more than the minimum asking price of $408,000 when it sought bids on the property earlier this year. This means more money than first contemplated for a city-sponsored affordable housing fund policy which it is in the middle of crafting. City development services director David Block is describing the proposed development as a
double win for the city's efforts to increase the amount of affordable housing. Not yet fully fleshed out, the city does want to provide grants to nonprofit groups to build their own affordable housing or to purchase lands upon which future affordable housing developments can be built, he said. And the second win for affordable housing, according to Block, will take the form of allowing more units to be built on the land than normally permitted in return for Coast to Coast providing affordable housing of its own at the
location. Affordable, in this case, means 20 per cent below market value on the sale of a condo, for instance, and rental rates of 20 per cent less than for similar other units in the complex, said Block. The criteria for determining who qualifies will be based on statements of income, he added. “In a tough [housing] market it will provide affordability to workers earning less,” said Block of the deal being reached between the city and Coast to Coast.

Klappan talks in limbo By JOSH MASSEY

WHAT PROMISED to be negotiation that would see the Klappan Valley, popularly known as the Sacred Headwaters, protected from mining and other developments, appears to be in limbo as the Tahltan Central Council has threatened to take the provincial government to court over control of these traditional lands. “They haven't listened to us to date, that's why we are preparing to go to court,” said Tahltan Central Council President Annita McPhee last week. Last year the province and the Tahltan agreed to take part in what was called the “Klappan Strategic Initiative” with the latter hoping the area would be saved from plans by Fortune Minerals of Ontario to build a large metallurgical coal mine there. The Tahltan use the Klappan for hunting, education and spiritual practices and have blockaded the area off and on over the years to prevent Fortune from gaining access.

Longtime resident, councillor says bye By JOSH MASSEY OUTGOING TERRACE city councillor Marylin Davies says that Terrace today reminds her of 51 years ago when she arrived with her father and the rest of her family to a small bustling town. Davies, who is moving to the city of Courtenay on Vancouver Island to seek relief from a nagging medical condition in the warmer climate, tendered her resignation on June 23 in advance of local government elections this November. A byelection will not be triggered because Davies is leaving within five months of the election date with her last council day falling on June 23. She and her husband Phil have been downsizing the possessions in their 2,800 square foot home on Kenney in preparation for the move. They are catching a ferry south out of Prince Rupert on July 8. “I have never failed to be amazed at the time and effort that our staff [now] and our staff through the years puts forward to us in support,” she told council on her last session. “I believe Terrace has moved from a small town mindset community to a have-not town to the edge of the boom. I don’t think we ever dreamed it could happen and now it is upon us.” Davies says that she believes the community has to come first in policy decisions, and she worries about a trend toward partisan politics in
municipalities across the country. “I know you have spent a lot of time and effort in your position, and I know that council appreciates that,” said mayor David Pernarowski. Davies served seven years as city councillor from 2001 to 2008 before being defeated. She was reelected for a third term in 2011. Her professional life has included 45 years as music teacher. She was one of the city’s directors to the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine for four years and she also sat on the regional hospital district board for five years. In her recent term, she was the community liaison to Educational Services and department liaison to the RCMP. And she also sat on the Terrace and District Museum Society strategic committee. Davies said she remembers fondly acting in plays at the McConnell Playhouse and serving as president of the BC Ladies Golfers Association. She also co-founded the Pacific Northwest Terrace Music Festival with a friend when she was 25. “We are proof that it can be done,” she said of the ability of people in Terrace to start something significant like an ongoing festival. One of Davies’ final actions as a member of council is to organize the creation of a photo placard of the Terrace Freemen to put in city hall.

OPINION
www.terracestandard.com
Wednesday, July 2, 2014 Terrace Standard
EDITORIAL Too prudent? WITH final investment decision timelines of several liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects already being extended and a continuing swirl of activity around the world in the race to supply the product to waiting customers, the provincial government has been correctly prudent in not forecasting any tax dollars from the industry in future budget planning. It’s also been fairly prudent and low key in working with northwestern local governments to prepare for what might happen should the regional population increase. But where the province has been too low key and where being prudent has risks is its so-far muted explanation of the ins and outs of how the industry works right from how the gas is extracted to when it sails off overseas in its supercooled form. The general consensus, so far, is that natural gas is relatively benign but any industry has its environmental as well as social risks. And to date, the province has been strangely silent in tackling either issue in any substantive form. A bit of a push back is starting to appear around LNG as more questions emerge. And, perhaps in response and in the need to get out in front of the topic, LNG companies have now formed a coalition to explain themselves. And so they should. But that does not mean the province should be silent in its role as the guardian of the public trust when it comes to resource development. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Have dog and can still travel
ur dogs have never been trained to ride along; their job is to stay home and keep an eye on our property. So taking them to the vet has always been an event and become more so as I’ve gotten older. So long as we owned small dogs, already trained when we adopted them, or if they were physically able to jump up into the truckbox, the occasional vet trip was never a physical hassle for me or for the dog. Today ... I wish my truck was built low to the ground like 1950 Chevs that scarcely skimmed puddles. When we bought our pickup nine years ago we chose one that would serve as a car but also do light hauling – fetching firewood, taking garbage to the dump, bringing home lumber or other supplies. We didn’t consider ferrying dogs to a vet especially dogs the size of ponies with limited mobility. Nor did we factor in how advancing age would lessen my agility. I’ve watched German Shepherds bigger and maybe years older than this mutt leap into the box of a Ford

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI F350 or Dodge Ram. But they probably have been doing that since they were weaned. They look forward to another ride, ears blowing back in the wind. They also know what footing they will land on. My dog sees shiny metal and instinct tells her that’s not secure footing for a sensible dog. She balks. Just to climb up into the truckbox, if the tailgate is down, I must use a 13” high box constructed of 2x6s. Weathered to a dark grey, it looks and is sturdy. This pup never unduly resisted climbing in using this box until she developed sore
knees, the reason for her latest vet follow-up. To compensate for her sore knees, I added two more steps so she never had to rise more than seven inches at a time. But this created a totally unfamiliar and therefore suspicious pyramid to the scene. She would retrieve cat food from as high as the tailgate, which she could reach while standing on the ground. But she wouldn’t step up. About then I was looking through Christy Clark’s Accessibility 2024 plan of how she intends on improving accessibility for all B.C. citizens. Page 10 shows a photo of a BC Transit bus with its drop-level-to-the-ground ramp. I phoned Terrace Transit. Would they accept me and my hound as passengers? “Does the dog fit in a carrier?” she asked. “No,” I admitted. “She’s 90 pounds.” The lady sighed. “Sorry.” The bus ramp photo started me searching for readymade dog ramps. Petland has steps, but too small for my needs. Walmart and Amazon advertise a telescoping fold-up ramp six feet

long priced $213 or more. With fond memory I think back to our visit in early January following successive heavy snows. I was able to back the truck up to the snowplow ridge on one side of the vet’s parking lot, let down the tailgate which was then level with the top of the drift, and walk the dog out of the truck as though we were on an afternoon walk. Nothing could have been more convenient or safer for both of us. The night before our latest vet visit I stayed awake pondering how to load the dog by myself when our visit was over. As it happened, I needn’t have worried. After the dog’s exam the vet led her out to my truck, scooped her up, and set her down gently in the truckbox. No fuss. He even climbed in to snap her collar securely to the cross chain at the front of the box. His was a bonus service I didn’t expect but surely appreciated. Claudette Sandecki keeps very mobile with her dog at her Thornhill, B.C. residence.

The Mail Bag Harper’s not a “no” man
STAFF PHOTO
CHARLES CLAUS and web worm-infested crab apple tree on Lakelse Ave. boulevard.
Worm-infested trees unsightly Dear Sir: I am very concerned about the flowering crab apple trees along Lakelse Avenue that are totally denuded of leaves and covered with web worm. It looks bad aesthetically to have numerous trees looking absolutely terrible on our main street! These ghostly looking
“
trees also reflect negatively on Terrace as a community and on the businesses and offices in the downtown core. It is also serious to be incubating these worms that will in turn spread to other fruit trees. As an orchardist who is growing trees commercially I find the inaction of the city ir-
responsible and unnecessary. Terrace has the unique distinction of being able to grow a wide range of as apples, pears, cherries and plums. Terrace is the furthest north in North America that this range of fruit trees can be grown. As a city we should safe guard this heritage and give it
the value and protection it deserves. I would like to see the City of Terrace have a viable plan to control these regularly occurring pests or to simply take the trees down and replace them with something easier to manage.

Dear Sir: Prime Minister Harper’s approval of the construction of the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil and condensate pipelines subject to meeting the National Energy Board’s (NEB) 209 conditions left a very bitter taste in my mouth. Our Prime Minister, contrary to his constant reference to the so-called science-based study and report by the independent NEB (which in reality is a quasi government department that takes its marching orders from the federal government) emasculated the Fisheries Act and the Habitat Section of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, preventing it from carrying out its due diligence in concert with NEB to protect fish and fish habitat on behalf of the public and First Nations. The DFO Habitat Section at the local level was the eyes and ears as the protector of the fisheries. The federal government has a statutory responsibility to all Canadians to manage and protect our country’s fisheries resource. A carefully planned orchestration by the PM through the amendments to the Fisheries Act and the excuse that balancing the budget takes priority, removed salmon and other fish as much as possible from the picture to minimize their influence upon the NEB conditions. How can our Prime Minister approve the project knowing that an oil spill along one of our fast flowing mountainous rivers would be impossible to clean up? It is not possible for people or equipment to be able to access canyon areas or for that matter to even begin a cleanup at an accessible location. The voodoo science behind the NEB position cannot be the reason our Prime Minister decided to support the project. Rather it is a gamble on his part that there will never be an oil spill and regardless of possible future consequences it is not in his DNA to say “no” to the petroleum industry. Jim Culp, Terrace, B.C.
Keep calm and, very quietly, read on
Ssshh!” I looked up. Under a humming fluorescent light at her old oak desk, the librarian was frowning at me with her finger on her lips. “Ssshh,” she said again. I was only eight, and I had excitedly expressed my enthusiasm while showing my best friend the latest Hardy Boys novel. My friend looked at the librarian, and then at me, expectantly. We both shushed. I loved the library, a source of rich and valuable entertainments. I didn’t quite understand the reiterated need for quiet within its precincts, but shushing seemed a fair enough exchange for access to all the goodies it offered. Then, noise seemed human, inevitable, an accepted part of the tongue tumble and traffic rumble of everyday life. Now even humming fluorescents sometimes bother me. In theory, communication transmits a message or information via some kind of code through a medium to a decoder that ultimately allows the repro-
duction and interpretation of the message. Along the way, however, one almost always finds noise, a destructive element that degrades information, preventing its accurate reception. In human conversation, thought gets coded into language which is transmitted through speech or writing. In electronic media, physical sound waves are digitized and electronically transmitted to a receiver that decodes the message and reconstitutes it into sound or print. Noise can interfere in either system. Though speech or writing may be technically accurate, jargon such as legalese or medical terminology might prevent comprehension. The messenger might have a speech defect or a poor vocabulary. A bystander might interrupt. Perhaps there is too much ambient sound. No wonder the communications joke runs, “I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”
GUEST COMMENT
AL LEHMANN In Politics and the English Language, George Orwell observed that English “becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.” Everyday speech shrinks into clichés, and political speech becomes various forms of coded propaganda. Our electronic media add to
the problem: advertisers hector and seduce, social media mine personal data to comfort us with preferred interests, and e-mail jumbles our inboxes with essential and unwanted babble. The physical world reflects this dynamic paradigm. Romantic artists and traditional knowledge of First Nations argue that nature speaks to us if we will only listen. But are we prepared for the effort that takes, even if we can create the opportunity? We go camping with our iPhones and rumble down highways pulling our fifth wheels. Bird song and the gurgle of flowing water are drowned out by quad engines and boat motors. Droning lawn mowers and shrieking chain saws contaminate quiet Sundays. Medscape.com reports that nearly one child in eight has hearing impairment in one or both ears, often due to extended exposure to personal music players. Children exposed to chronic noise develop elevated blood pressure and higher levels of
stress hormones. Research shows that cognitive and language development in children from noisy homes is diminished. Although uninterrupted sleep is a prerequisite for good physical and mental health, we are often wakened in the night by cars with boom boxes, the growling and crashing of railroad trains, and the wailing of sirens. What good is the right to privacy without the right to quiet? In major cities such as Manhattan, undifferentiated white noise never stops. It exists as an ongoing hum, punctuated by the sharpness of local car horns or music. A standard method of torture is to deprive the detainee of sleep and subject him to a barrage of discontinuous, ugly, loud noise. But we live in a tortured world. I’m now much fonder of my strict old librarian. We need to save quiet spaces, to think, and to listen to what is truly meaningful. Ssshh. Al Lehmann is a retired Terrace, B.C. English teacher.

THE MAILBAG
Mills Memorial staff praised for their work Dear Sir: After several emergency stays in Mills Memorial Hospital in the past year, I would like to express my appreciation for the treatment received. I would like people to realize what a good facility we have in Terrace. There are many different departments and services that are taken care of by dedicated and caring healthcare professionals. We are also fortunate to have visiting specialists, several who have served our area for many years, who are a real asset to our community and should be acknowledged for their dedication and visits. I, and many others, have had health care problems that required treatment in other communities so we are very fortunate to have the Medevac ser-

Infested trees While it would be possible to spray every 7-10 days with BTK, an organic product, to manage these pests, I realize that this would be an expensive option. My advice would be to take these flowering craps down and replace them. If the city does take these trees down, I highly advise burning them to stop these web worms from multiplying. Also, if the city does burn these trees, please let us know where the fire is, for a number of us with fruit trees would like to show up with hot dogs and marshmallows to celebrate. Charles Claus, Terrace, B.C.
vice also available. In passing, I would like to mention the Dr. R.E.M. Lee Hospital Foundation and the Hospital Auxiliary, who, along with the support of the community, have been a big part of enhancing healthcare to our area through many equipment purchases. Having such equipment here has minimized the need for patients to travel to other locations for treatment. The foundation’s latest project is the updating to the endoscope suite. Granted, not everyone has the best experience but most leave satisfied with their care. I feel very fortunate to live in this part of the country and have these services available.

Centennial grads start new journey CENTENNIAL CHRISTIAN School grads this year adopted a European custom during ceremonies held to mark the end of their secondary school education. Following a meal held at Northwest Community College, the 15 students were each presented with a dove which they then released into the air. The birds gathered up in formation before heading back to their local home. “It was quite something, very symbolic. It means the start of something new, a new journey,” said principal Edgar Veldman of the occasion. The tradition is Ukrainian in origin, he said, and was the suggestion of parent Jeanette Ewald who has lived in the Ukraine and who suggested it be used in Terrace. “And one of the parents said he had birds and that’s how it happened,” said Veldman of Erbert Operana who supplied the flock. The 2014 Centennial grad class at 15 students is one of the largest in the 13 years the school has offered a full secondary school education. “It’s hard to believe it’s been 13 years already,” said Veldman. After the event at the college, grads, parents, teachers and guests gathered at the Evangelical Free Church where each grad was gently roasted in turn and various aspects of their lives were shared with the audience. Scholarships were handed out to the following students: Jason Bandstra, Sydney Mantel, Renee Ewald, Joshua Sexton, Lovene Operana, Ryan Roseboom, Jason Pires, Chelsea MacDonald, Krystal Behnke, Marietess Robinson, Nathan Struyk, Lucas Lanterman, Jared Terpstra. A full list is available at www.terracestandard.com.

Church lives on after sale of its building A LOCAL church building may be closed and sold but the church itself is not completely gone. Christ Lutheran Church, 60-yearsold this year, dwindled in congregation to the point where it was put up for sale and the remaining church members joined other congregations in town. “The one thing that is for sure with the church coming down: the church is the people, not the building,” said longtime and charter Christ Lutheran Church member Bertha Watmough. Before the church building was constructed, the members first met in the Odd Fellows Hall when it was on Lakelse Ave. They also held services in the wing of the church building until the church itself was built. At the beginning, the church had the services of two pastors from Prince Rupert who alternated and then one came from Kitimat. In 1959, the church welcomed its first fulltime pastor: pastor Grandberg. Construction on the church building started after the land was cleared in 1955. What became a large section of clear glass bricks with a blue cross
on the front of the church started out as its front door. When it was decided to use the other door on the wing as the main door, Bertha’s husband Gordon suggested the glass bricks in place of the front door. Someone else suggested the cross. Originally, the congregation numbered about 30 and when a lot of people from Europe came here after the Second World War, it swelled to more than 100 – at one time, there were 120 just in Sunday school, she said. “But then it got that you only needed a church for baptism, marriage and burial, so the numbers started to go down,” added Watmough. The final service was held June 1 with the 10 or 12 remaining members. Lance Stephens, retired Anglican Church priest, gave the sermon that day and was the regular pastor for the last few years. He had been filling in for about 25 years when the church’s regular pastors went on vacation or between pastors. Many members are going to the Christian Reformed Church now or the Lutheran Church of Canada here, said Watmough.

Food bank sees children’s generosity By JOSH MASSEY
JOSH MASSEY PHOTO
TERRACE FOOD bank volunteers Dylan Mantel and Hilde Vandevelde fill a food box June 19 on the last day of the season for the Terrace Churches Food Bank.
ON THE final distribution day of the season June 19 for the Terrace Churches Food Bank, a boy who had just celebrated his 12th birthday came in with his friends, loaded down with donations. “He asked people who came to the party to bring food instead of gifts. It was impressive to see someone, especially that age, to tell his friends to give him food donations instead of gifts,” said director of the food bank John Wiebenga. The June four-day distribution, which took place June 16-19, was the last of the season for the food bank which will resume operations again this October. The food bank holds four-day distributions once a month, operating from the downstairs of the Dairy Queen building on Park Ave. Wiebenga said the number of clients who were served this past season was down by 20 per cent. This last distribution saw 500 bags of food distributed, down from the 750 to 800 bags of a few years ago. It’s a sign that more people are employed or that people have moved away because the housing crunch means lower income people can’t afford to live in the area, said Wiebenga. The food bank, which is supported by area churches who supply volunteers and by donations of either money or money from individuals, community groups and businesses, doesn’t operate in the summer when money available for food increases as hydro and heating bills decline. “This year we have really been blessed. We have enough money for [start up in] the fall. It’s probably been one of our better years,” said Wiebenga.

How do you say ‘Gruchy’s’? HERE IS a question that came up recently: How do you pronounce Gruchy’s Beach? Gruh-chy’s or Grouch-y’s or something else? The Terrace Standard asked this on our Facebook page and received 39 comments. Opinion was heavily weighted toward Grouch-y’s with 26 comments compared to Gruh-chy’s with five comments. One person said she sometimes called it one name and sometimes said the other one. Several people provided versions of the story of how it was named or gave their own comments that differed from other responses. Here are some of the comments: “I was told by parks that it is technically ‘Gruchy’s’ but locals have always called it ‘Grouchy’s.’ I was also told by my family it was a man’s name.” “I think the ‘old-timers’ that have lived here for 30+ years like myself
call it Grouchy’s. Newcomers call it (like it may have been intended) as gru-chy’s.” “From Carol Stephens Barg: Gruchy’s Beach was named after Edward Ansell Gruchy, born Aug. 9, 1886 including his twin sister Jane Brine Gruchy at D’Escousse Cape Breton Nova Scotia, both baptized Sept. 25, 1886. “Parents were John Philip Gruchy and Henrietta Helen (nee Weeks) re Sydney Cape Breton Nova Scotia. “Edward Gruchy died [at] age 26 in hospital in New Westminster B.C.; his mother died in Vancouver in 1917. “Edward, age 22, pre-empted acreage at Lakelse Lake in 1908.....I too always thought it was Grouchy’s, until I googled and found info., including that of local historian Mr. Gent. “Think I’ll be doing some research re: family name Weeks, possibility of a connection with a past pioneer ‘Dad Weeks’
who I believe also originated from Nova Scotia.” This was posted on the Terrace, BC and Surrounding Area group by Michelle Harris Frawley in response to this question... ...”quote from The History of Terrace (Nadine Asante): ‘Grouchie (common usage is Gruchy) lived at Gruchy’s Beach, a very popular resort in the old days’ - First settler Edward A. Gruchy, then land deeded to John Philip Gruchy after Edward died. (this from Ted Johnston - Memoirs Life with Terrace Area Pioneers).” “I always refer to it as “Satan’s Retreat” because of the blasphemous behaviour of the youth. Despicable.” “I work there. It’s Gruchy’s!... but being new to the area (From Hazeltons), I’ve learned that people here all think it’s called Grouchy’s. This was slightly confusing to me when work started and so the topic came up and it is in fact Gruchy’s.”

■■ Look! All gone! THAT’S JESSE Longpre showing that he’s swallowed his entire plate of french fries, cheese curd and gravy during the poutine eating contest at St. Jean Baptiste Day celebrations held June 22 at Heritage Park. Longpre was defending his first place title earned last year. Placing second was Luane Dorais Fleming who placed third last year. Daniel Vigneault was third this year.
The talks were also seen at the time as the follow-up to promises made by Premier Christy Clark prior to the 2013 provincial election to create a land use strategy for the hotly contested lands. But, according to McPhee, the strategic initiative lead to a technical report but not a resolution. And no agreement was reached after the March deadline for the parties involved including the Tahltan Central Council and senior representatives from various provincial
government ministries, to submit recommendations, although the province says “productive discussions” were continuing. According to McPhee, the government wouldn't fully accept the Tahltan goal of protecting the Klappan Valley from development. McPhee said the Tahltan case is strengthened by last week's Supreme Court of Canada decision which gave the Tsilqhot'in Nation extensive land rights on territory west of Williams Lake.
development permit application filed with the city describes its townhouse plans as “an attractive design with varied site setback.” The company has applied for a variance permit to reduce the buffer along the sides by half from six to three metres and also for a modification of the front landscaping buffer to make room for parking spots.

Egg farm to expand Terrace Standard Wednesday, July 2, 2014
PETER VERSTEEGE bends down and picks up still-warm brown eggs from a metal-grate floor, placing them carefully in a container. “They’re still young. They haven’t been trained yet to lay them inside,” says the operations manager for Daybreak Farms, the region’s only commercial egg producer. We’re in one of Daybreak’s barns and all around our feet 1,000 chickens scurry back and forth, not sure, perhaps, of who has joined them. When trained the chickens will lay eggs inside a long wooden enclosure that runs down the middle length of the barn. The eggs will fall on a conveyor belt taking them to a sorting area where they will be weighed, graded and packed for shipping. The barn is one of the more modern ones at Daybreak which houses 32,400 chickens laying various varieties – white, brown, free-run and Omega 3. The chickens run free within the barn and feed from automatic dispensers. As time moves on, all of the barns will be modernized, providing more room for chickens to run and providing them with more natural nesting and laying areas. As many as 30,000 eggs a day are produced at Daybreak, located on the bench area of Terrace. Chances are excellent that if you live in the area from Telkwa to Haida Gwaii, south to Kitimat and north to Dease Lake, you’ve eaten a Daybreak egg. In addition to marketing under its own brands in stores across the region, Daybreak produces eggs for the own-store brands of Save On Foods and Overwaitea and Bulkley Valley Wholesale within the Overwaitea Food Group, Loblaw’s through the Real Canadian Warehouse and Walmart. And last fall, Daybreak began selling its own brands at Safeway stores. That makes for a busy production and distribution schedule with Daybreak’s truck on the road constantly, says Versteege. “For the truck itself, it can carry 10,000 dozen eggs,” he says. Aside from store sales, Versteege has been busy speaking with the companies either operating work camps now or those setting up camps in anticipation of the region’s potential liquefied natural gas industry. “These are very large companies with offices in Vancouver, Calgary or Edmonton,” he notes. “A lot of the services are contracted out and there are many people involved. But we’re working our way through it and we keep following up.” Daybreak Farms is unique in the prov-

PETER VERSTEEGE from Daybreak Farms with some of the daily production from its more than 30,000 chickens. “We’ll be grading three days a week, up from two,” said Versteege. As Versteege notes, chickens lay seven days a week and don’t take weekends off. Daybreak Farms dates back to the early 1960s with current owners Ian and Jeannie Christison of Vancouver Island entering the business in 1991. Versteege, originally from Holland and who had a career in the merchant marine before embarking in a new career as a software designer, moved to Vancouver Island and set up a nursery and gardening business. It was there that he met Ian Christison and the offer of a job with Daybreak Farms followed in 2010.

ince and not only because its located in the northwest, says Versteege. “We are a producer and a vendor, we grade our own eggs and sell our own eggs,” he notes. “This way we are in control of our own product and we can focus on three aspects, quality, quality, quality.” “The very large producers will only produce the eggs and they’re shipped out for grading.” Those large producers, mostly in the Fraser Valley, account for approximately 90 per cent of B.C.’s production with an operation on Vancouver Island accounting for eight per cent. “And that leaves us with one or two per cent for our region, for the 70,000-75,000 people who live here,” said Versteege. “In my view that’s the difference, we are a producer, grader and vendor.” Business is on the increase and Daybreak was recently granted an additional quota of 2,000 chickens by the provincial egg marketing board. That’ll bring its laying population to 34,200 and with it, an increase in hours for the farm’s 10 employees.

Totem Saddle club rides on TERRACE’S TOTEM Saddle Club’s June 22, 2014 regular Gymkhanas marked a special occasion – the return of the great outdoors. Events kicked off around 10:30 a.m., with riders competing and displayed in events like keyhole, poles, figure eight and flags – and of course, the ever popular event, barrel racing. But the highlight was a special ceremony, held just after noon, to thank the club’s supporters for spending the last five years ensuring the outdoor arena was suitable for riding. Nearly five years ago the club had to shut the outdoor arena because of bad footing. “It has taken this long to raise the funds and do the work to make it usable again,” said the club’s Elaine Rempel. “It is a great accomplishment and a delight to be back outdoors. We do have the indoor arena but it is smaller and harder to hold some of the events. With the outdoor arena the sky is the limit to events we can hold.” The ceremony featured four young riders – Jennifer Rempel, Justin Rempel, Dylan Currie and Meghan Glawe – carrying flags and riding their horses to the national anthem. Club member Cathy Jackson then said a few words, followed by Terrace city councillor Brian Downie and regional district representative Ted Ramsey before the ribbon cutting ceremony and a BBQ. “Everyone had an enjoyable time, both riders and spectators, and the weather could not have been any better for us,” said TERRACE TOTEM Saddle Club riders during the festivities two weekends ago.

Peaks celebrate successful season THE TERRACE Peaks gymnastics club formally wrapped up the 2013/2014 season with year end awards and display June 21. Gymnasts spent the afternoon showing family and friends their progress before breaking for awards, followed by refreshments, a cakewalk fundraiser and activities. During the awards, Maya Ebeling received Competitive Female Gymnast of the Year for her “great dedication, a contagious, positive attitude, significant overall sports improvement and true sportsmanship behaviour within the club and at competition.” Ebeling said she was surprised to hear she’d won. “When I heard I was really excited,” she said, noting that it’s especially motivating because she’s been battling a back injury. And Interclub Gymnast of the Year went to Ameylia Evans. Evans “overcame many obstacles and shows perseverance in her training. She is a great role model and team player.” Evans, who prefers competing on floor and has a background in dance, said she was “shocked” to hear she’d won. And Pyper Testawich took home Recreational Gymnast of the Year.

T
he Liberals in the B.C. government, like the Liberals in the scandal ridden government before them, and their Social Credit forebears, like to trumpet their concern for the environment when their actions demonstrate they have none. Christy Clark’s crew is a distinctly brown party that attempts to portray itself as green in a political age when doing that wins votes. As proof of this assertion, I offer the history of forest industry in this province. From the time of W.A.C. Bennett until only a short time ago, our forests were the golden goose of the provincial economy. That goose would have survived had the government the testicular fortitude to strictly enforce sustainable logging practices instead of condoning the forest mining that strafed our forests and set up the oscillating boom and bust cycles that ravaged forest based towns, like ours, for half a century. During his time as premier, Mike Harcourt and his NDP government brought in the Forest Practices Code (FPC). This was a long overdue first step on the path to responsible forestry. After a period of wingeing and whining the Forest Corporations realized it was folly to resist government fiat and bought into the program. After a media led coup unseated Glen Clark, the neoconservatives who hijacked the Liberal Party from Gordon Wilson, made the FPC optional, a move that effectively put its care and compliance in the hands of those who stood to profit most by returning to Third World forest management.

Gymnastics club could grow “This award goes to a gymnast who is dedicated and loves gymnastics so much she comes to drop in as many hours as she can and is also enrolled in a pre-school gymnastics program on Saturday. She shows a true love for the sport at a very young age,” said coach Ambra Marak. Testawich, who nodded when asked if she was excited, said this is her first medal ever and she is going to keep it in her room. And Terrace Peaks’ board member Tawnya Schuster was awarded the Club Spirit award. “We just wanted to recognize her for her years of service. Without the board we’re non-existent, we need the board to stay functional,” said Marak. “To volunteer for seven years it’s an accomplishment for her and a thank you from us.” Schuster is past vice president of the
board, and is now secretary and treasurer. Schuster has watched the club grow over the years to the point where they have wait lists every day. While that is a sign of the club’s success and popularity in the community, for Marak it’s also a reminder that the club can’t expand in the way it would like to. “We can grow and we have the capacity to grow, but we can’t because we’ve just outgrown the gym,” she said. The club has a master plan for expansion, but would need a major injection of capital to make it happen. The gym used to get enough money to be fully operational from provincial gaming funds. “That was great, we didn’t have to fundraise, kids got to go to lots of competitions, new rec equipment was being bought... and

then over the years they’ve cut back on gaming funds,” she said, noting that this year, after receiving $6,000 in grants, the club needed to fundraise $33,000 in order to break even. The club has been told not to expect any money from the provincial body next year. With all fundraising efforts going into just keeping the gym operational, fundraising for the expansion plans has to take a back seat. And Marak worries about what will happen if someday the gym doesn’t get funding or can’t make ends meet. “Having a gym like this in Terrace is huge for the community, the community needs it,” she said, noting that there aren’t many other drop in recreation groups, especially for young teens. “The gym is a really good way to get that outlet, be active and healthy.”
rapid industrial growth and the privatization of public resources. Under the new regime, corporations and industrialists contract environmental assessment to private companies, which in turn vet their reports through the appropriate departments of FLNRO. So how is the system working? According to the provincial ombudsman, Kim Carter, not so well. In a report issued this April, Carter focused on the regulation of riparian areas. He found that FLNRO was not meeting its own goals for reviewing the reports provided to them by the environmental contractors hired by the proponents of development. Before 2010, the Ministry of the Environment used to review every proposal. When FLNRO took over the task of review and oversight they decided reviewing 1 report in 5 in each provincial region was sufficient. Having set that audit goal, they failed to meet it because of they haven’t resources or personnel to do so. As a result FLNRO simply doesn’t have enough information to confirm if the regulations covering riparian zones are being met. Every one of the many pipeline proposals, the industrial proposals for the Skeena estuary, the proposed LNG plants, and every one of the independent power projects all demand environmental assessments. Unless Christy and her crew adequately staff and fund the civil servants in what used to be known as the Ministry of Environment, there will be no adequate oversight for any of them.

Florence Elizabeth Spencer March 12,1923 - June 23, 2014 It is with heavy hearts that we inform our mom's many special friends of her passing Monday June 23, 2014. She passed away at Terraceview Lodge peacefully with family around her. It was her home for the last 8.5 years. Mom was 1 of 10 children born to Lillian and Chris Dixon, in Georgetown: a small lumber community close to Prince Rupert. Mom moved to Terrace in 1943 where she met the love of her life, Orville Spencer. They raised 5 children in the family home on Munroe Street. Beatrice, Benjamin, Daniel, Robert, and Trudy. Orville had been raised at Spencer Lake in the Nass; so in 1958 when the road went through it was weekends and summer holidays at the cabin. Mother was one of the ladies, with Elsa McLeod, Jane Gravling and Jean Linums who first started the Happy Gang. They spent many happy hours there. Mom was a joy, there weren't too many days, she didn't laugh or try to make someone laugh. She was a prankster. Mom loved her family, her flower garden, her chickens and her vegetables. It was hard work and a necessity to feed a large family. I am not sure about the 2 youngest children but the rest had to weed the garden; you had your choice of, in the cool of the morning before school or later in the hot sun after. Them were the days of hot sun and big winter snows. Then there was the harvest. 5 people sitting around a large metal tub filled with peas to shell. You'd just start to see the bottom of the tub, and that's when dad would come through the door with another water pail of more "PEAS" to shell. Mom was preceded by Orville in 1991 and her son Daniel in 1996 and her son-in-law George in 1978. She is survived by her daughters Bea (Stan), Trudy (Dale), her sons, Ben, Robert (Gabriel), and 10 grandchildren, 12 great great-grandnchildren, 1 brother Henry (Enid), 1 sister-in-law Jean Dixon, and 1 daughter-in-law Vivian Spencer and many nieces and nephews. Mom is already greatly missed by all but she rests in peace. Special thank you to Dr. Strangway and Dr. Brown, to the staff at Terraceview and especially to those "GEMS" that work in the "Nass" Wing. A celebration of her life will take place in August, notice to follow. Terraceview is in great need of volunteers, there are so many who never have a vistor, some programs don't happen because there is not enough help. Drop in for a cup of tea and a friendly word. It would be a great "Blessing" to many and to yourself. In lieu of flowers, if you so wished, please donate to Terraceviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s "Recreation Fund".

Girl, 16 rescued MEMBERS OF the Thornhill Volunteer Fire Department are being credited with the June 26 rescue of a teenage girl from a Kleanza Creek whirlpool at Kleanza Provincial Park. “Their response to the scene made a significant difference to the outcome of this situation,” said Dave Jephson of Terrace Search and Rescue. The girl, 16, was shaken but uninjured. She was taken to Mills Memorial Hospital for a check up. Jephson said Thornhill firefighters used skills learning during water rescue training to bring the girl to dry land.

Feds approve Kitsault moly mine THE FEDERAL government has given its approval for Avanti’s Kitsault molybdenum mine project provided the company follows a series of measures to dampen environmental and other effects. “I have determined that the project can reasonably be expected to result in adverse, but not significant, environmental effects on residents of Nisga’a Lands, Nisga’a Lands or Nisga’a interests related to fisheries, wildlife, migratory birds and forest resources,” noted federal environment minister Leona Aglukkaq in an approval document released June 27. She did lay out a number of recommendations identified through earlier studies that Avanti needs to follow. The list includes fish, water and wildlife compensation plans. And the list of Avanti tasks takes in snow clearing and other work along the Nass Forest Service Road (better known as the Cranberry Connector) which would be a key transportation connection for road access into Kitsault. The company would be responsible for measures to minimize vehicle-wildlife collisions and will need to participate in measures to increase the Nass moose population. A further federal condition is to promote Nisga’a business opportunities and develop Nisga’a hiring plans for
the mine. Federal approval was bound by sections of the 2000 Nisga’a Final Agreement land claims treaty which states steps must be taken to
ease or prevent adverse environmental effects and impacts on Nisga’a citizens from industrial projects. Avanti officials have been anticipating fed-
eral approval for some months and the June 27 announcement clears another hurdle for the project. The company received its provincial
approval more than a year ago, signed a revenue sharing deal with the Nisga’a Nation last month and, last week, began clearing an access road and area to
expand a camp that’s already at the location. It is also working on final financing needed for the $1 billion project and anticipates a full construction start next
year leading to a 2017 opening. Molybdenum is used in steel alloys and Avanti is forecasting a mine life of at least 14 years employing 300 people.
