City set to ink $12M land deal By JOSH MASSEY A DELEGATION of Chinese industrialists is expected here within weeks as the City of Terrace closes in on a deal to sell more than 1,000 acres of its Skeena Industrial Development Park for almost $12 million. The city last week announced its intention to sell the land representing ap-
proximately half of the park located south of the Northwest Regional Airport. Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski said negotiations on the real estate deal are coming to a head following months of effort by the city. “We are letting people know there is interest in it right now,” said Pernarowski. “It’s getting close.” Up for purchase is 1,188
acres at a price of $11.878 million. The city has kept the details of the impending transcontinental deal secret during negotiations but should reveal specifics within the coming weeks, said the mayor, including exactly what industrial outfits are coming to town. “We’ve got that narrowed down. We are definitely not selling land at the industrial
park on speculation,” said Pernarowski. “We have to see a solid business plan included in the document. We are definitely looking at one or two possibilities and will be able to announce more on that in a week or two.” Much will be resolved during the visit by the Chinese business delegation. “Details would be more clear once we signed off on
the document. We are expecting to see a delegation coming in the next couple weeks,” said the mayor. The Chinese delegation will be from the Qinhuangdao development zone located on the east coast of China. The deal is being brokered through a Vancouver-based firm called Taisheng International Investment Services Inc., which is the
Canadian investment arm of Qinhuangdao. Attempts to speak with officials from the company were unsuccessful. In terms of what the city would spend the $12 million on, Pernarowski said the main focus will be expanding the infrastructure at the industrial park and for affordable housing projects.

Pipeline vote plan promoted here By ANNA KILLEN CANVASSERS WITH a provincial environmental group are knocking on local doors in an attempt to gauge support for a provincialwide citizen’s initiative on the Enbridge Northern Gateway heavy oil pipeline. Dogwood Initiative, a Victoria-based non-profit, is asking residents to sign a petition pledging they would be in support of a citizen’s initiative should the group deem one is necessary in order to hold the provincial government to account on its position on the controversial pipeline. The pipeline would carry 525,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen from Alberta west to Kitimat for export by tanker overseas. The citizen’s initiative legislation – which was used successfully by the anti-HST campaign and unsuccessfully by those wishing to reform marijuana laws – is unique to B.C. Under Elections BC’s Recall and Initiative Act, petitioners need to collect signatures from 10 per cent of the registered voters in every provincial district over a three month period saying they support the petitioners’ draft bill. If that threshold is met, the draft bill could be introduced into the legislature for debate, or a provincial-wide vote could be held asking voters to consider the act. In this case, the draft bill could use language making it impossible for the provincial government to approve the permits necessary for a pipeline to be built, essentially giving those against the pipeline an “insurance policy”, explained Will Horter, executive director of Dogwood Initiative. “This is the insurance policy when every-
thing else has failed,” he said. “When permits are being put forward and there’s the threat of shovels in the ground. This isn’t something we’re going to do tomorrow, we’re going to let the political process play out.” The people voting to repeal the HST weren’t necessarily voting because they didn’t like the tax, he explained, they were voting because they were mad at the government for misleading them – and he is counting that the same would happen if the provincial government came out in support of the pipeline. But he says the difference between the two campaigns is that Dogwood’s is in two parts. Right now, during the preparation phase, volunteers are knocking on doors to build up a database of supporters and organizers ready to mobilize if the decision is made to launch an initiative. “If it looks like Christy Clark is going to break her election promise and not stand up and protect British Columbians’ interests and go back and do a flip flop on the submissions the government made to the Joint Review Panel where they said this project shouldn’t be approved as currently proposed and trust us, it’s not good enough, that’s when we would launch,” he said. A provincial-wide vote on the pipeline is one possible outcome should a citizen’s initiative go through, and Dogwood’s slogan for this particular campaign is “Let B.C. Vote”. Not everyone is convinced a provincewide vote is necessary.

Renos continue down at city hall RENOVATIONS CONTINUE at city hall with Terrace’s local government building receiving a major makeover. “It’s going to look virtually identical to what we did on the back side, which was a bit of a test run,” said city construction foreman Dave Peters of work being done this summer on the front of the building. Like the back side, the front facade will also be finished with acrylic stucco in beige and grey. Stripping the front wall began on June 25 and revealed a lack of insulation, and areas where plumbing had become a bit of a “disaster area” mainly because of difficult access. This will be fixed in the overhaul, with extra insulation and foam inserted and better access created to plumbing. “We are making an effort to expose piping and replace it wherever we can,” said Peters.
The city is already saving $5,000 per year since previous heat-saving upgrades. City hall also turns 50 this year, and the renovations have revealed beams that are still in perfect shape. Other upgrades include thermal heating. The front entrance will also be rebuilt at a future date with architectural design planned for later this year. The main job this year will be six weeks or so but it won’t be until most likely the fall when the front wall renovation is complete, as it depends on securing the time of a contractor who is able to do that kind of finishing job. The work now underway is part of an ongoing series of renovations which so far have cost in excess of $600,000. The wall facing the parking lot separating city hall and the RCMP detachment was renovated several years ago.

Along with new insulation, the work has included new windows which have added to energy savings and increased comfort to employees. Improvements were also made to the fire department’s vehicle bays and hose tower. A lift system to improve accessibility to city’s hall main office floor was installed at a cost of $70,000.
The new Ronald McDonald House BC opens in June. A home away from home for seriously ill children receiving treatment at BC Children’s Hospital, the new and bigger House has enough room to welcome 73 families every day, keeping 2,500 families per year together when it matters most.

Crimp placed in pipelines By JOSH MASSEY THE GITXSAN First Nation has vowed to block any natural gas pipeline construction on their territory unless certain title rights are acknowledged by the government for an area of disputed land. Kitsumkalum and Kitselas First Nations approved land claims agreements in principle with the federal and provincial governments last spring, paving the way for final treaty negotiations. This would grant them
ownership to tracts of land extending east of Terrace, towards the Gitxsan traditional territory, but the Gitxsan argue that part of the land contained in those agreements in principle to form part of the eventual Kitsumkalum and Kitselas final treaties is in fact theirs and want it recognized as such. To leverage their claim, the Gitxsan now say they want no further work done on planned natural gas pipelines that would pass through their territory toward planned liquefied natu-
ral gas plants around Prince Rupert and at Kitimat. This would have an affect on the ability of three proposed pipelines to proceed in their area including the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project by TransCanada, Westcoast Connector project by Spectra Energy and the Pacific Northern Gas looping project. “The [federal and provincial] crowns refuse to abide by the rulings of B.C. courts that the Gitxsan have strong prima facie rights and good prima facie title to these
lands since contact in 1846,” says a media release from the Office of the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs. “There are several parcels of land that are within Gitxsan traditional territory,” said Gitxsan negotiator Bev Clifton Percival in an interview, adding that court decisions over the past several decades upheld Gitxsan rights to the disputed area. The area includes two rivers near Gitsegukla and Kitwanga and land used by 3,000 people, she said. An offer from the provin-
cial government to oversee a mediation process has been met with refusal by the Gitxsan chiefs, and Percival said that they want to resolve the issue through a traditional system. “If you mediate you compromise your position and we are not saying that we do not own the lands,” said Percival. “We have traditional forms of dispute resolution that these two Indian Act Bands do not want to enter into, so we have our own mechanisms for solving disputes but we are not going to
enter a European mediation that would undermine our own lands.” Percival also said the Tsilhqot’n Supreme Court of Canada decision late last month strengthens the case for aboriginal title. “And given the Tsilhqot’in decision this week we know the crown’s legislation and their authority has been undermined severely by the Supreme Court of Canada in the granting of title lands.” The Gitxsan wish to meet with the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum, she said.
New lease expected A SECONDHAND furniture store will be getting a new lease on life at its current location if a negotiation to continue using a cityowned building works out. The Core Store, which is entering its third year of operation, and run by the Terrace and District Community Services Society, also sells used electronics and other household items donated by residents and sold at prices affordable to those on a low or fixed income. The society hopes to continue a mutually beneficial relationship with the city by extending its lease of the building that used to be the garden centre at the former Terrace Co-op complex on Greig Ave. just to the west of the Best Western Terrace Inn for another year at the cost of $1. The city now owns the land on which the complex was located and the city demolished the main Co-op building several years ago in order to sell the property, leaving just the garden centre building standing.
Last year, the Core Store brought in $21,500 which was, minus operation costs, put back into its Living Room outreach centre which rents space in a Seventh Day Adventist Church-owned building on the corner of Sparks and Davis. The Living Room provides food, clothing, counselling and a day shelter for local homeless and low income people. “It’s been better than anticipated and almost everything we had hoped,” said Terrace and District Community Services Society director Jeannette Anderson of the Core Stores’s first years. Running the store is done solely by volunteers, with Agnes Walker always on hand during the open hours which are 10-4 Tuesday to Friday and 10-2 on Saturday. According to Christina Losier from the society, the store runs on principles of environment, employability and community with its focus on keeping household items out of the landfill.

BARRY FOWLER is doing a work placement stint at the Terrace and District Community Services Society’s second hand furniture store and Agnes Walker is a full-time volunteer. social programs can work at the store learning skills that will help them land retail jobs. At risk youth and also at risk adults can come to the Core Store and receive a quote on all the furnishings they will need for a new home and receive it all
at a discounted price, said Losier. The store is always looking for volunteers, especially those with vehicles capable of hauling furniture. The store does have another challenge and that is people dropping off furniture and other items when
it is closed. Often what’s dropped off simply isn’t suitable for re-sale, said Losier. Although the community services society anticipates having its lease extended for one year very soon, the long term use of the city-owned building is less certain.
That’s because the city has a conditional sales agreement with a Calgary hotel company to buy the former Terrace Co-op property and build a hotel there. Anderson said the society has been looking at other locations if the store has to move.
Rented church building sold THE CITY may be about to set records for new housing, but there’s also a thriving market in the purchase of older buildings. The latest is the sale of the building beside Misty River Tackle on Agar that has been the rented home for a small Lutheran congregation. The Terrace Lutheran Mission Church congregation had rented the building for the past seven years but had its last service there June 29. Congregation members are now holding services in the Happy Gang Centre, said Pastor Clint Magnus who preaches at
the Redeemer Lutheran Church in Kitimat on Sunday mornings and then comes to Terrace for an afternoon service and Bible study with the local congregation. Remax realtor Laurie Forbes, who handled the Agar sale, said the building had been up for sale for $240,000 last year, and again for $230,000 this spring, but didn’t sell. It then sold June 16 for $295,000. The new owner plans to eventually convert it into a house, said Forbes. It’s well-suited for a home as
it has good sized rooms, office space, one bathroom downstairs and two upstairs, a full basement and is on a double lot, she said. Also just recently sold was the Christ Lutheran Church building on the corner of Sparks and Park. While both congregations are Lutheran, the Christ Lutheran Church congregation belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada while the Terrace Lutheran Mission Church congregation belongs to the Lutheran Church-Canada which has close CAITLIN CLOW PHOTO connections to the Missouri SynTHE RENTED home of a Lutheran congregation has been sold. od.

The ferry crossing at the tiny community of Usk is a special trip - and not without its challenges By ANNA KILLEN
“
You should see this place at night, you look up, so many stars.” Usk ferry operator Daniel Gonu motions to the sky high above the Skeena River at the ferry’s dock, located about 16 kilometres northeast of Terrace off Hwy16. Just 26, Gonu is one of a handful of people trained to guide the small reaction ferry back and forth at the tiny community of Usk, a route that’s been operating for more than a century. Underneath those stars, fewer than 20 people live at Usk on the north shore of the Skeena yearround. It’s an eclectic, meadowy place that begs to be explored and the people who live there permanently are nothing if not self-sufficient. During one crossing on a damp Thursday morning late last month, the cab of one passenger’s truck was filled with bags of wood pellets, a head start on winter stock. “You have to be prepared,” he said, noting he and his nearly off-grid neighbours keep multiple freezers and pantries filled with supplies. In the summer, that population grows slightly as seasonal residents with vacation homes settle in. And Gonu says a number of tourists make the trip over the summer – last year was especially busy, he said – asking plenty of questions about the unique ferry and how it works along the way. The reaction ferry, classified as an extension of the B.C. highway system and one of five similar vessels around the province, takes five to seven minutes to cross the river depending on the water. It’s powered by the river’s current, does not have a toll, and runs from 6:45 a.m. to 11:15 p.m. except during scheduled breaks. There’s no set schedule for crossings – riders simply pull or walk up, ring the bell, and within minutes the ferry operator is waving them on. It holds two vehicles and has a capacity of 12 people. In 2013, according to the provincial ministry of transportation, the ferry carried 16,000 passengers and 6,000 vehicles. Gonu, who is the on-call operator, says driving the ferry is a great gig – he works for Nechako Northcoast, the company with the highway maintenance contract from the provincial ministry. Before Gonu trained to operate the ferry, he worked as a traffic flagger, but says he prefers this job. “It’s a lot of fun running this,” he said. “The biggest thing is to watch for trees, debris ... move fast and get your timing right.” The ability to multi-task is key – the ferry operators run the ferry solo, shuttling back and forth bow to stern steering and adjusting the big paddles which utilize the current and keep the vessel on course. The higher the water, the faster the trip, generally, and operators are trained to know when it’s too rough to cross. When the ferry can’t run – and it doesn’t run
when the water is too low or icy during the winter months or when it is running too high during spring run-off – there is a cable car which crosses the river, accessible by a large flight of stairs on either side. This snug aerial tram is one of two ministry operated trams in the province, the other located at the Big Bar ferry near Clinton which crosses the Fraser River. But while the ferry and cable car might seem novel to those making a day trip to explore the north side of the Skeena, it’s not all smooth sailing for residents. An open letter published last month detailed numerous concerns from Usk residents regarding the ministry’s choice of contractor, including snow removal, road upgrades, and delays in launching the ferry this spring. “We all live here by choice but current services have to be provided and maintained,” reads the letter, which goes on to suggest the ministry has had ample time to build a bridge to the community – a suggestion the ministry says it has no current plan to entertain.

Wednesday, July 9, 2014 Terrace Standard
EDITORIAL Green space “BUY land because they’re not making it anymore.” That old saying is most certainly at the heart of the City of Terrace’s far-reaching policy regarding the Skeena Industrial Development Park just south of the Northwest Regional Airport. Thanks to an arrangement with the province to buy Crown land for resale to industrial concerns, the city is closing in on its largest transaction there yet — nearly 1,000 acres to a Chinese industrial conglomerate. It means millions being paid into the city’s corporate lands account. The prospect of all that money raises the issue of how to spend it. City officials caution that the city is responsible for basic infrastructure at the industrial park, an expensive proposition at the best of times. But it’s also time for the city to consider the quality of life of its citizens. Aside from the city’s steps to develop affordable housing to be financed by land sales, it should direct itself toward green space. If the city grows, green space will be at a premium as development pressures grow. One particular parcel is the large lot just beside the parking area on the western edge of George Little Park. It would be a natural extension to the park and even if purchased now and left undeveloped for some time it would be a wise move benefitting future generations. To repeat that saying: “Buy land because they’re not making it anymore. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

She nibbed a pen problem in the bud
I
’ve had a fondness for fountain pens since I learned to write cursive. They not only look handsome. They are nifty for jotting quick notes, and weigh almost nothing to pack around. Best of all, unlike computers, they function beyond range of cable or WiFi. Visiting a Staples store in Lloydminster fourteen years ago I couldn’t resist buying another beauty. The price was only $50, inexpensive at the time when many well known brands cost from $200 to $800. Aside from its beauty – a marbled deep green decorated by three gold bands and the Waterman logo – it flared above the nib so that my grip never slid down and my fingers weren’t forever “climbing” like a toddler on a slippery seat. It became my go-to writing instrument for daily journaling and article drafting. Six months ago the nib began skipping. Each morning when I began writing no ink flowed unless I first pounded my wrist on the desk, primed the nib through a drop of water or dipped it into a bottle of ink.

THROUGH BIFOCALS
CLAUDETTE SANDECKI After eight or ten lines of writing, the ink would stop. I could dip it again into the ink bottle, a nuisance as well as a risk of upsetting the entire bottle. I sought a longer lasting solution. A Waterman website search identified my model as a Phileus (fountain pens have models just as automobiles do). I phoned my longtime supplier in Vancouver only to be told Waterman no longer makes Phileus pens and my prospects of finding a replacement nib – fine point or otherwise – are zero. However, Vancouver did suggest I might try restoring
proper ink flow by soaking the nib section in cold water mixed with a teaspoon of ammonia. If that didn’t work (it didn’t) I could soak it overnight in fairly hot water (but not so hot as to damage the seal causing the nib to leak ink all over my fingers.) No writer wants too little or too much ink. A friend hearing of my plight suggested using Goof Off to loosen any sediment stuck in the nib. Home Depot’s website touts Goof Off as “a powerful cleaner good for removing old dried latex paint, caulking, most glues, marker and pen ink, white correction fluid, crayons, asphalt, tar, lipstick, chewing gum, oil, grease”. Everything but credit card debt. Canadian Tire sells Goof Off as an aerosol $8.99, or a tiny tin for $5.99. Use it with care; it’s powerful. I’ve not tried Goof Off. I persisted in my hunt for a new nib. My hope was to switch a new nib section to my worn pen. These pens are composed of four sections – a nib section assembled at the factory, a barrel which houses the ink supply (either a plastic car-
S TANDARD
tridge pre-filled with ink, or a mechanical converter one can fill from a bottle) and a cap to protect the nib during storage. Checking online, I discovered Goldspot, a New Jersey supplier of all fine writing instruments from a variety of brand name fountain pens to expensive ballpoints. I ordered a replacement Phileus online June 16. It would be iridescent green, not the marbled green of my original. Like a kid waiting for Santa, I kept an eye on my mailbox. June 24 a padded brown envelope propped open the mailbox lid. In the envelope was a replica of my original pen minus the gold bands and logo. Its nib is fine and screws right into my old pen barrel. The total cost was $43.90 U.S. Of that $6.90 was postage. It‘s insured value was $24. Manufactured by Waterman in France, it carries a three-year warranty. My favourite writing instrument is restored to full function. Claudette Sandecki keeps up a steady flow of ink from her Thornhill, B.C. residence.

OFFICIALS GATHERED last March at Loon Lake near Maple Ridge for a celebration of the planting of the seven billionth tree in B.C. since counting began in the 1930s. Left to right: Dr. Yousry El-Kassaby, Head of the Department of Forest Resources Management, UBC, MLA Marc Dalton, forests minister Minister Steve Thomson, Randy Trerise, Association of BC Forest Professionals, PItt Meadows councillor Doug Bing and Maple Ridge councillor Bob Masse.
Forestry is alive and well in B.C.
Dear Sir: I’m responding to the inaccuracies in Rob Brown’s July 2 column about forest practices in B.C. The Forest Practices Code was replaced by the Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA) more than a decade ago. All timber harvesters on Crown land are required to abide by the Forest and Range Practices Act. Non-compliance can re-
sult in stiff fines or even suspension of the forest tenure in question. With regard to logging in streamside areas, FRPA requires a mandatory riparian reserve zone of at least 20 metres on each side of the stream for all fish-bearing streams greater than 1.5 metres in width. Smaller fish-bearing streams typically have riparian management zones that re-
strict timber harvesting or road construction on or near stream banks. Ombudsperson Kim Carter’s recent report on riparian area regulations has nothing to do with forestry. The Riparian Area Regulation falls under the Fish Protection Act, and is designed to protect fish habitat from development in urban areas and on agricultural lands.
I think your readers might also be interested to know that B.C. is a world leader in sustainable forest management. More than 52 million hectares are certified to one of three internationally recognized sustainable forest management programs – that’s more than any other jurisdiction in the world apart from Canada as a whole.

Dear Sir: This is a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. I have been living for the past 25 years in the BC Housing Willows apartments and have faithfully paid my rent and done the other tenant things; but recently I had a rude wake-up call that left me frazzled. I started getting eviction notices for information I had hitherto not been required to give. And they kept changing their demands for different information with each eviction letter. Most of it included bank statements and assessment info. I should say here that up to last year I was on provincial disability [assistance] and then jumped over to senior income. This sudden attention to my income increase was the sudden cause of such rude mail. I’m told this had a lot to do with threatening notices in general. My niece tells me that in the geriatric facility where she works they get downright nasty, sending her notices like, “Your driver’s license will expire on your birthday. If you don’t renew it you will be fired.” BC Housing recently shuffled eastward from Prince Rupert to Prince George and I assumed my troubles stemmed from this – but I later learned the eviction notices were not coming from Prince George but from the Lower Mainland. In the first covering letter they demanded information from all my bank accounts. When I called Prince George they assumed I was remiss and emphasized that all my bank accounts must be included. I explained that I had just opened my first bank account in September since becoming disabled and it was the only one. Welfare doesn’t leave you enough to have a bank account. Again they emphasized I must surrender information on all my bank accounts. But I only have the one—nope, all my bank accounts.

Federal approval of Gateway a threat to all
O
n Tuesday, June 17th, Stephen Harper gave his approval for Enbridge to begin construction of the Northern Gateway Pipeline. This pipeline will ship 525,000 barrels of oil sands crude on a daily basis from Alberta to the West Coast port of Kitimat, and on to markets overseas. The Liberal Party has stood unequivocally opposed to this project since the beginning. The Northern Gateway pipeline will put the coastal economy and the environment at risk. From fishing to tourism, those individuals whose jobs and livelihoods depend on the Pacific Ocean have not been assured that a catastrophic spill can be prevented. Lost economic activity resulting from an oil spill has been estimated at $300 million in British Columbia.
The Conservatives have chosen to ignore these risks, and instead push through this economically and environmentally dangerous pipeline. A Joint Review Panel recommended approval of the project back in December 2013. This recommendation was made despite serious concerns surrounding the potential impact of the project on the land surrounding the pipeline and along the coastline of B.C. Now the Conservatives have simply rubber stamped this flawed decision. The Northern Gateway Project has failed to win the support of surrounding populations, including the town of Kitimat. Indigenous communities have also rejected the project, given the potential impact that an oil spill could have on their traditional territories.
GUEST COMMENT
JOYCE MURRAY Instead of listening to legitimate concerns expressed about the risks posed by this project, the Conservatives have threatened and bullied anyone who has spoken out against the pipeline; they subsequently weakened Canada’s
environmental laws to clear the way for its approval. This is not leadership – and it is not a positive example to set for Canada or the rest of the world. The Liberal Party supports the sustainable development of our natural resources and the diversification of the markets we supply with energy products. Canada needs infrastructure – including pipelines – to move our energy resources to both domestic and global markets. However, these projects must earn the trust of communities and cannot ignore aboriginal rights. They must not place our lands, waterways and ecosystems at risk. The Northern Gateway Project has not met this test. Aboriginal peoples have not been fully consulted. Canadians have not been convinced our environment can be protected. Individuals whose
livelihoods depend on the Pacific Ocean do not believe that a catastrophic spill can be prevented. And yet, the Conservatives have pushed ahead with this project – without adequately addressing the serious risks that this pipeline will present. This is why Liberals are opposed to the Northern Gateway Project, and this is why we strongly denounce the federal government’s decision to approve this pipeline. Liberals will continue to stand in solidarity with First Nations and local communities, prioritizing the protection of our environment and coastal economy. Joyce Murray is the Liberal Party of Canada Member of Parliament for the riding of Vancouver-Quadra. She was also the environment minister in the provincial B.C. Liberal government from 2001 to 2005.

Teachers stand firm The Mail Bag By ANNA KILLEN
TEACHERS IN Terrace say they will picket throughout the summer, as long as the ongoing dispute between the province and teacher's union remains unsettled. “We're going to be picketing wherever we can and whenever we can,” said veteran teacher Frances Gosse, speaking outside the Coast Mountains School District office last Friday, July 4. “We're off work, we don't have pay at the moment and we're having a picket rotation.” After months of job action and lockouts, the BC Teachers' Federation (BCTF) and the provincial bargaining arm BC Public Service Employees' Association (BCPSEA) wanted to reach an agreement on a new teacher contract by June 30. That date now passed, the two sides last week did agree on a mediator, BC Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher. But after meeting with both sides, Kelleher concluded mediation “is not indicated at this time”, read a joint statement released July 2. In some school districts where limited summer school is going ahead, teachers will be picketing those locations, indicated BCTF president Jim Iker in a news conference last

Unofficial picket dog, Manuka, is also there to help gain support for teachers. week. But in Terrace, where summer school is not offered, teachers will be doing shift rotations in front of the school board office and at various schools throughout the district. “The shifts are three hours and we'll be told what to do on an ongoing basis,” said Gosse. “Some people have prior engagements and commitments that they can't get out of but those of us who are here want to see this through.” As long as picketers are in front of school district buildings, maintenance and other workers represented by Canadian Union of Public Employees are not able to enter, which
is delaying routine summer maintenance work, confirmed school board chair Art Erasmus. He said it's too early to talk about contingency plans for work on schools which needs to be done, saying that the district is going to see what happens between the two sides over the next couple of weeks. The BCTF has said it will make negotiators available throughout the summer to work towards an agreement, but the two sides continue to remain far apart on wages, benefits and class size and composition costs. The BC Supreme Court has twice ruled that the provincial

government violated teachers' constitutional rights when it removed class size and composition language from the teachers' contract. The province has appealed that ruling, and the BC Court of Appeals is expected to rule on that this fall. BCPSEA has said the union's position on class size and composition would cost $1.67 billion – a figure the BCTF disagrees with. With files from Caitlin Clow
Apparently tenants like to open bank accounts all over town. The eviction notices are form letters chasing after the tenants who keep their total income secret from officials. BC Housing subsidizes most tenants by charging only 30 percent of their income for rent up to the market value of the apartment. I was threatened with such an increase in one of their eviction notices. This does leave a bad taste with tenants who are up front with their stay in BC Housing buildings.

Forestry remains alive and very well About 75 per cent of B.C.’s annual harvest comes from operations that have sustainable forest management certification. The “golden goose” of forestry, portrayed by Mr. Brown as an endangered species, is in fact alive and well. It is expected to contribute
$785 million in direct revenue to government programs this year. Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Victoria, B.C. (Steve Thomson is also the Liberal MLA for the Okanagan riding of Kelowna - Mission.)

Librarian turns a new page in career By MARGARET SPEIRS THE LIBRARY board will be looking for a new head librarian soon as the one who’s been here for six years is moving back down south. Margo Schiller will take over as branch head at the same library in Kamloops where she worked for three-and-ahalf years before moving here to take over as head librarian from Ed Curell, who retired after 29 years at the library in 2008. She decided to take the new job to be closer to family, she said. “It seemed like a good opportunity and Jason, my partner, has family in Kamloops,” she said. Most of the projects she’s been working on for the library are almost wrapped up with the last one being the finish of the Ed Curell Lounge, which was also the last big project that the library board had in
its strategic plan, said Schiller. “I’m really proud of a lot of things,” said Schiller about what she’s accomplished in her time here. “I’m really proud of the Ed Curell Lounge and elevator and accessible washrooms.” “I think the local history stuff we did a couple of years ago was pretty important.” In 2012, the library hired a history librarian for four months to organize various historical items the library had stashed away. An open house held that October gave the public to see the items, which included pioneers’ belongings. Schiller said she’s learned a ton of new skills here. “This position has taught me so much about government so many more skills and knowledge than when I started,” she said, adding these new skills will help her in the future.

Cadets pick up awards MEMBERS OF the 747 Terrace Air Cadet Squadron were thanked for their year’s work June 15 at the squadron’s annual review held at the air cadet hall located at the Northwest Regional Airport. More than 20 awards for individual achievements and years of service were presented before an audience of parents, friends and other guests. The families of the cadets and squadron supporters were also thanked for their contributions. “If it wasn’t for you, the cadets wouldn’t be here,” acknowledged guest Scott Johnson from Vanderhoof who represented the provincial arm of the Air Cadet League of Canada, the civilian organization that supports air cadet squadrons across the country. The annual review was the 51st for the 747 Unicorn squadron which was formed in 1963. Barry English from Terrace Pipes and Drums, one of the presenters, noted the longevity of the squadron. “Some of these cadets here are second generation,” he said. Major Chris Bishop from Terrace, a one time commander of
the squadron and now a regional official, was the reviewing officer. With 53 members this year, the squadron is one of 57 in B.C. and is the largest in the north. Although the squadron’s year has now finished, a number of cadets are off to various summer camps for additional training in areas such as survival, aviation instruction and marksmanship. The following is a list of awards presented: Best First Year Cadets – Leading Air Cadet (LAC) Teddy Bineham, and LAC Zoe Presby. Best Attendance – Corporal Jared Christiansen.

tion to the library board, which will decide who to hire. For now, children’s librarian Jess Dafoe is the temporary
head librarian. Schiller’s last day of work here is July 11. “I think the only thing I’m just really
proud of is what the staff and board accomplished in the last six years and it’s great to see all the things we’ve done.”

watched a documentary recently, “Cereal Killers,” by Donal O’Neill. This athletic 41-year-old wondered if he could cheat his genes and avoid suffering from type 2 diabetes, like his dad’s brother, or heart disease, like his dad. What these men had in common is that they were lean and fit, yet somehow doomed. In the documentary, we learn about how in 1953, Ancel Keys, convinced that dietary fat was the cause of heart disease, published a paper suggesting an association between dietary fat and mortality from heart disease. Critics pointed out that Keys had data for 22 countries, but selected data from just six. (Keys excluded countries like France, with a high fat diet and low rates of heart disease – he cheated.) In 1955, US President Eisenhower suffered a heart attack. He was put on a highly publicized low fat, low cholesterol diet. His cholesterol continued to climb on this diet; he had more heart attacks and died of heart disease. In 1955, John Gofman reported that carbohydrates elevate VLDL - the lipoprotein that transports blood fats (triglycerides) made in the liver from excess carbohydrates. Gofman wrote, “Restricting carbohydrates would lower VLDL.” Excess carbs = elevated triglycerides = more VLDL = increased risk of heart disease. Ancel Keys won, to our detriment. We’ve been on the low-fat fad for decades and obesity is climbing. We don’t call it juvenile and adult-onset diabetes these days, we call it type 1 and type 2, because so many children are getting type 2. Young Donal, a charming Irish lad, decided to flip the food guide on its
W H AT ?
CHARLYNN TOEWS
Do not fear fat head. Avoiding grains and sugars, he ate a high fat diet with lots of fruit and vegetables. He switched from hours of jogging (wrecks your knees) to 8-minute high intensity workouts. All his bad numbers came down and his good numbers came up. Heathier than ever. A while back, I worked with students at NWCC, helping them find funding for their studies. After working with a few hundred individuals, I noticed a pattern: if students had a stable home-life, they could overcome almost anything. If something at home went sideways (got kicked out, broke up, big fight), they couldn’t cope with any bump in the road at school. They quit. I started showing them Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. The foundation layer is food, water, warmth. Next is security, shelter, then friends, family community. If they don’t have these basics (home), it will be very difficult
to move up to achievement, mastery, recognition, never mind pursuing talent, creativity, and fulfilment (school). To offer a familiar metaphor, I thought to show them Canada’s Food Guide. At the bottom is what you need (grains) then up to fruit and veg, dairy, meat and alternatives, then at the tip top, other -nice to have, don’t need to survive -- like chocolate and fat and red wine. But while I was googling images to aid in my presentation, I saw food guides in other languages from other countries that had much different images. Some had exercise as a foundation, some water; most had grains higher up and fruit and veg lower down as necessities. Then I learned that Canada’s food industry has a say on how much of what to eat is included in the CFG. Dr. Yoni Freedhoff (University of Ottawa) says Canada’s Food Guide made a startling change in 1992, greatly increasing the amount of food it suggested we should eat every day, grains in particular. In 1982, CFG advised 3-5 servings of bread or pasta a day. In 1994 it advised 7-8, and, since this was the year I was pregnant, I noticed those additional 2-3 servings of grains per day: 11 servings, including sugary breakfast cereal! This made me wonder about my portly dad, who was advised to eat a low fat diet, constantly munching on toast with jam -- because he never felt full. Here’s my new regime. No more large double double: homemade coffee with hipping cream. You know what tastes really good? Double Devon cream withblueberries. Roast beef with gravy and garden greens with homemade Caesar dressing. Fat with fruit or fat with veg. Think Pemmican.

■ Clean water
SEAN LIVGARD, left, and Joel Koerner and other young people from the Terrace Pentecostal Assembly were selling coffee, lemonade and other refreshments June 21 in support of two projects to bring clean water to African villages. Just over $360 was raised during the sale and was added to contributions made by the young people themselves for a total raised of nearly $850. It’ll be divided between clean water projects sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse and an organization called Emergency Relief and Development Overseas.
Leon was born and raised in Terrace and graduated from the automotive program at Caledonia Senior Secondary in 1984. From there he immediately came to work at McEwan GM with Jim McEwan. As the years passed he continued to work at the dealership and train through GM’s Goodwrench certified programs. When the MacCarthy’s took over in 2002 Leon continued to excel as a GM Certified technician. 30 years after he’s started as a young graduate Leon continues to uphold a high standard of quality with his work.
Thank you Leon, and we look forward to many great years to come.

seats are supportive and comfortable. The rear seats too are comfy and slide for and aft for more cargo storage. When placed in the normal position, the legroom isn’t ample but on par with others in this class. Connecting to the Cherokee is a snap with the optional 8.4-inch Uconnect system that pairs with smartphone in seconds, is very quick between commands, and has nice looking graphics. The base screen is five inches but has many of the same functionality. Behind the steering wheel, inside the instrument cluster, is another programmable screen for all the information the driver needs frequently.

For just $1,300 any Cherokee can be equipped with the optional 3.2L V6 engine – making the walk up to this 271hp engine within reach for many buyers. In addition, this is the very first application of a 9-speed automatic anywhere in the auto industry, providing improved fuel economy and drivability. Having a chance to drive both the 4-cylinder and V6 models with the all-new 9-speed automatic, I’m torn. The V6 is the engine of choice for towing, steep mountain
A good off-roader, comfortable and an easy street performer, the Cherokee does both equally well.

runs and longer distance driving. The flip side is that the 4-cylinder is a very good in-city commuter and the lighter engine helps this Cherokee to corner, brake and manouevre better. The 9-speed automatic shifts quickly and smoothly, in fact I forgot it had so many cogs but it does improve fuel economy with a highway rating of 6.4L/100km with the 4-cylinder and 7.0L with the V6. Most Canadians will opt for the AWD versions thanks to our winter conditions, but here too there are more choices. Jeep has included three AWD systems. The first is a called Active Drive 1 with a selectable drive mode called Select-Terrain, for automatic, snow, mud and sand settings. The second is called Active Drive 2 and offers a two-speed mode for low speed crawling. The most aggressive system is Active Drive Lock, which comes in the off-road purpose-built Cherokee called Trailhawk. The Trailhawk is a ‘real’ Jeep; this is thanks to a locking rear differential and a host of electronic aids. The most impressive feature is the low speed crawling mode for both up and down hill tasks. Therefore, Jeep purists, yes there is a Cherokee for you. Verdict This new Cherokee is off to a fantastic start. Sales are strong and the sharp design is bringing in buyers, not shoving them away. The 2014 Cherokee could not be further away from the last model; this is a thoroughly modern SUV with go-anywhere capability and aroundtown refinement that needs to be experienced. The Lowdown Power: 184hp 2.4L 4-cylinder, and 271hp 3.2L V6. Fill-up: 9.9L/7.0L/100km (city/highway AWD) Sticker price: $23,695-$32,195

The Chrysler 200 was introduced for the 2011 model year and replaced the outgoing Sebring. It’s available as a mid-sized sedan, with coupe-like styling and a roomy interior, as a hard or soft top convertible with two doors and four seats. The 200 is based on the same chassis as the outgoing Sebring but came with revised suspension geometry, stiffer body mounts, a raised roll centre, new sway bars and a wider rear track to improve both its ride and handling. There were also extensive upgrades to reduce cabin noise and these included acoustic lamination of the front door windows and windshield. The 2011 edition of 200 came in base LX,

A carry-over engine from Sebring, it provides good low-end torque, decent fuel economy and is mated with a reliable four-speed automatic. City/ highway fuel economy is 9.9/6.7 L/100km. Even the LX edition of the 200 comes with a very good equipment package that includes a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, four-wheel disc brakes with an anti-lock system, remote keyless entry with a security alarm, power windows, locks and mirrors (heated) and air conditioning.

this V6 can effortlessly produce 283 horsepower. Highway fuel economy (6.8 L/100km) is also impressive and almost the same as the base four-cylinder. Its city rating, however, is 11.0 L/100km. The Chrysler 200 Convertible was available with the choice of two automatic-latching power tops. There’s a light-weight fabrictop with a glass back window or a (body colour) fully-retractable steel hard-top. Both types of folding top can also be lowered or raised remotely via the owner’s key fob, which is a neat feature. In addition to being less expensive, the fabric-top is more compact when folded and allows more cargo space in the trunk. The hard-top, on the other hand, can provide a quieter cabin for occupants while

Consumer Reports rates the 200 as “below average” for predicted reliability, “above average” for owner satisfaction and “average” for owner costs. Used prices are reasonable, from a buyer perspective, and there appears to be a good supply of sedans, but not too many convertibles, out there for sale. The Limited trim level (see price check chart) visually adds 18inch polished aluminum wheels, dual exhaust tailpipes and inside upgrades include leather-faced seats. Like most Chrysler products the 200 offers high content and value, and it’s a good looking car.
Safety Recalls: 2011 & 2012 Chrysler 200:
2011: A pivot rivet on the steering column may be missing or incorrectly installed and this increases the risk of driver injury in a crash. Dealers will inspect for steering column rivet presence and alignment, and repair as required. 2011/2012/2013: The airbag warning lamp may illuminate due to an electrical fault within the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module and the Active Head Restraints may not deploy during a rear impact collision. Dealers will reprogram the Totally Integrated Power Module or replace the ORC module, as required.
< <>
With Optional Forward Collision Alert available on 2LT; Standard on LTZ models
2012: The 3.6 litre V6 engine may have debris in the cylinder block from the manufacturing process and this could cause connecting rod bearing and crankshaft bearing damage. Dealers will replace the engine assembly. 2013: Certain vehicles may experience fuel leakage or engine stall due to a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly.

French Immersion bus fee scrapped By ANNA KILLEN THE COAST Mountains School board has decided it’s not worth it to implement a bussing fee for students attending ad school outside of their designated neighbourhood school. That was the decision at the final school board meeting of the school year June 27 following conflicting recommendations from the two board committees studying an original fee plan. The plan had been to implement a $20 per student fee, to the maximum of $40 per family, at the beginning of the school year last fall, but after an outcry from parents who charged it was implemented without consultation or consideration of the financial strain the fee would place on parents, the board decided to delay that implementation until this coming fall while it studied the issue further. A presentation from local French Immersion activists at last month’s board meeting, which said the move would deter students from entering French Immersion as many students cross boundaries to attend those schools – appears to have been the final push in convincing the board to ditch the fee. The business committee and the education committee studied the fee following the French Immersion presentation, with the former committee recommending to scrap the fee and the latter recommending to keep it. School board chair Art Erasmus said the amount of money the board would have saved by charging crossboundary bussing fees is “minimal” compared to the total district budget. “It’s about $25,000 in a $53 million – $57 million dollar budget,” Erasmus said. “And the amount of time required to collect it and to deal with the indigent students is pretty massive.” But the bigger piece for him was the impact on French Immersion students. French Immersion programs in Kitimat, Terrace, and Hazelton are only offered in one school in each town because there aren’t
enough students to offer it in every school. Because of that, Erasmus said he would argue that the neighbourhood school is the school where that program exists.
Kitimat trustee Raymond Raj agreed. “When it comes to French Immersion, if we were providing French Immersion in every school then we’d have no argument. We’d
say, ‘Hey, you want to go to the other school? You pay for it.’ But if in every district we are providing French Immersion in only one school and we are telling everybody we’re
providing it, but now it’s your responsibility to get there, I don’t think that is fair,” he said. Erasmus noted that if the board is going to exempt French Im-
mersion students from the fee, it isn’t worth implementing it for the other students going to school outside of their neighbourhood school because the French Immersion students are
“the biggest piece of the cross-boundary bussing $25,000.” “If you took the French Immersion out, then there’s very little in it and it’s not worth pursuing,” he said.

Urologist plans to retire soon
A LONGTIME medical specialist who’s the only one in his field in the region is retiring. Dr. Francis Osei-Tutu is planning to retire after 37 years as the urologist for the northwest. “I’ve been here since 1977 and provided urology services for the northwest. I’m based in Terrace but cover the whole of the northwest to the best of my ability,” he said, adding it’s time for a change of lifestyle. “I’ve made some good friends here,” he added, saying that’s why his planned retirement isn’t a celebration as such. Osei-Tutu and his wife are thinking of moving back east – he did his medical training in Toronto – where they also have family and friends. The building he works out of, the converted green and white house on Park Ave. at the west end of George Little Park, has a for sale sign in front of it and the asking price is $739,000. Osei-Tutu has owned the building since 1984 and stresses that the sale of the building doesn’t mean he’s retiring or leaving town right away. “I am retiring but it’s not like next week,” he said, adding he has a responsibility to his patients and if a replacement is immediately found when he does want to retire, he will do his best to help out until one is available. “The sale of the office shouldn’t immediately affect service,” said Osei-Tutu. Osei-Tutu, as is the case with the vast majority of physicians and specialists in B.C., is in private practice. But the Northern Health Authority, which is the overall agency responsible for health care in northern B.C., will be looking for a replacement. Jonathan Dyck from the Northern Health Authority said it will search throughout North America.(MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX

■■ Heave! THERE’S NOTHING like a tug-of-war contest to help celebrate Canada Day and it was one of several opportunities for exercise and fun on tap at Heritage Park July 1. Approximately 1,700 people passed through the gates that day, several hundred more than the year before.
Former mayor honoured A LONGTIME Rotarian and former Terrace has been honoured by the Rotary Club of Terrace. Jack Talstra was recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow during the club’s annual installation of officers at the Skeena Golf and Country Club on June 22. Talstra, a member of the club for 32 years, received the recognition in tribute for his 29 years of civil service and for his demonstration of shared purpose with the objectives of the Rotary Foundation. The Paul Harris Fellow Award is the highest honour a Rotary club can bestow on a person, either inside or outside the club. The award acknowledges the Rotary motto of “service above self” which that individual has offered to their community, their nation or the world. Paul Harris was the founder of Rotary and this award program was created to finance many Rotary Foundation programs. Talstra also served as Terrace’s mayor for 23 years. Talstra was on council first from January 5, 1976 to December 6, 1981. He then served as mayor from Dec. 2, 1985 to Nov. 15, 2008 when he was defeated by current mayor Dave Pernarowski. Talstra has been recognized through other awards, including the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. In 2009, he was awarded the Order of Terrace for his local contributions to the city.

Industrial land deal in works Only after those priorities are met would the city look at allocating money to such departments as leisure services. “The idea with selling any city land isn’t to make a whole pile of money,” Pernarowski continued. “It’s about reinvesting those dollars back into infrastructure in our industrial park. Where we would benefit as a city from any type of deal that happens at the airport would be through taxation and job creation.” “The other thing council is determined to do with any excess dollars would be to reinvest into finding op-
portunities for affordable housing, to purchase more land for affordable housing projects or partner with someone to create that kind of opportunity,” he said. Pernarowski did caution that the proposed sale is not yet a certainty. The city has been preparing for this deal for some time, with two trips taken by city officials to China since late last year. One of those trips involved officials from the Kitselas First Nation which has a joint venture agreement with the city to develop the park. The current city council has passed a resolution to use future tax proceeds
from new industry on lands sold by the city to reduce business and residential taxes, however it was left to future city councils to work out the details. The two parcels that are being looked at for purchase by the Chinese are located immediately west of the land which the Kitselas Development Corporation is leasing to Falcon Enterprises which is preparing a camp to house workers for the Pacific Trails Pipeline project owned by Chevron and Apache. It would supply natural gas to a planned LNG plant at Kitimat also owned by Chevron and Apache.

Pipeline vote plan promoted here Speaking after the federal government’s conditional approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline last month, both SkeenaWild director Greg Knox and Skeena MLA Robin Austin expressed hesitation at the idea of referendum. “There’s overwhelming evidence showing that British Columbians don’t support the project so I don’t see the need,” said Knox. “People have spoken loud and clear for the last two to three years on this, so I don’t think there’s any need,” added Austin, noting that the Joint Review Panel hearings and the Kitimat plebiscite vote are proof enough people are
against the pipeline. “Obviously if [a referendum] is organized people would have to respect the outcome of that, but frankly I think people have already spoken on this issue. Both during the last election and prior,” he said. Dogwood Initiative’s Horter said it’s important to remember that a provincial-wide vote is only one possible outcome, and that it’s more about the political process and legally holding the government to account. “It actually has some teeth to that which requires the provincial government to respond to that, whereas the initiative in Kitimat ... the council
could have ignored that if they wanted to. There are binding aspects to a citizen’s initiative that would force the legislature and/or the province to [act],” he said. And Enbridge Northern Gateway has indicated that it wouldn’t fight a referendum on its project. “We do respect the rights of Canadians and obviously those of British Columbians and if there is a decision by British Columbians to have a referendum then we would follow that process as a participant in a way that we are allowed to follow it,” said Enbridge senior official Janet Holder, speaking June 17.

Annual SalmonRun turns six
BIRGITTE BARTLETT PHOTO
ON YOUR mark, get set, go! Runners take off at the sixth annual SalmonRun at Kitsumkalum June 29, 2014. For story, see Page 27.
Whittington muscles her way to third in B.C. A DAY in the life of Terrace body builder Charis Whittington during the months leading up to competition is intense. She gets up at 4 a.m. to do her first hour of cardio, makes breakfast with her family, goes to work at the local gym she owns with her husband where she trains clients all day and fits her own workout in between clients, and then does another round of cardio before picking up her daughter and going home – and she does it all while following a strict diet, a diet that gets stricter as she gets closer to competition day. But all of that hard work is worth it with Whittington recently placing third in the province at provincial championships after placing first at qualifiers in Fort St. John weeks earlier. “I went in there feeling pretty confident especially since it was three weeks after the last show,” she said. At that tournament, she came in first in her class, physique, setting her up for her first provincial show the last weekend in June in Vancouver, where she ultimately came home with third. Whittington says her class, physique, is for women who are in the middle – not totally big and bulky
but not tiny either. To excel, judges are looking for the “whole package,” she said. “Nice muscle tonage, nice lines, muscle fullness” and things like femininity, hair, nails, and skin tone and texture. “Everything,” she said. She now has a two year window to take a shot at nationals, a competition she declined to attend this year but might attend next year. “It’s a hobby,” she said. “You do it for yourself, you have to enjoy the process and enjoy how training and eating can change your body.” And the competitions are a chance for her to interact with and support fellow bodybuilders from around the province – and it’s a surreal feeling being up on stage after preparing for so long, she said. “It all comes down to those few minutes on stage,” she said. “It’s kind of crazy, it goes so fast. Before you know it you’re on stage, before you know it, you’re finished. “It’s neat because you get this connection with these people. In Terrace, we’re a small town ... You go to these [provincial] events and you see ‘I’m not the only crazy one, TWIXPIX PHOTO there’s two, three hundred people who are also doing this’,” she said. CHARIS WHITTINGTON at provin“It’s a neat feeling.” cials June 28.

ED ANSEMS after his latest race in Vancouver.
Ansems takes first once again LOCAL MASTER'S runner Ed Ansems competed in the Scotiabank half-marathon on June 22 in Vancouver, finishing first in his age category following a tight race. The 21 km race started at the University of British Columbia and followed a scenic route to the finish line in Stanley Park. Ansems placed first with a time of 1:37.13 in the 65 to 69 age group and was 248 out of the 3334 finishers in the race. "I had a great warm-up and a fast first 10 kilometres,” he said. “However, after that, things started to fall apart. Still, I managed to be 26 seconds ahead of the second place runner in my age group."

■ Tops TERRACE BLUEBACK Jade Heathfield continued her winning ways by wrapping up the season at swimming long course AA provincials June 20 22 in Victoria with another medal and some top times. Despite battling a nagging shoulder injury and getting sick the week before provincials, Heathfield demonstrated that she is one tough competitor when a medal is up for grabs. Heathfield took home bronze in the 100 m free (1:14.97); fifth in 200IM (3:11.09); seventh in 50 free (34.32); and 11th in 200 free (2:51.45).

Sixth annual SalmonRun attracts hundreds of runners THE SIXTH annual SalmonRun took place Sunday, June 29 at Kitsumkalum, with over 350 participants turning out for the race. Participants ran or walked the two, five or 10 kilometre route, then gathered for a salmon BBQ. “It was amazing,” said organizer Colleen Austin. “We had over 100 volunteers this year and I was really impressed with the high turnout of people of varying ages and from all over the area.” Also impressive was the num-
T
ber of families who have been running the entire six years of the race, she said. “So many families involved this year,” she said, noting that a number of participants decided to train this year instead of just winging it the day of the race. “It was incredible.” The SalmonRun was started as a way to promote healthy living and lifestyle choices, and has grown and become more successful every year, she said, noting this was the first year the
he best summers are unpredictable: those composed of shade free days, shady days, wet days and days made up of all those features with no one kind of day predominating and no long stretches of any one kind of day; summers filled with change; seasons crammed with expectation and excitement; like the one we are having this year. This particular summer Monday the distant draws beneath the mountain tops are darkened by rain shadow. By midday tall clouds part long enough to let the sun bake the land and remind me that the possibility of energy sapping heat is real. Late in the afternoon it rains enough to make me think of my raincoat, but not enough to make me put it on. I’m on the prowl for Chinook Salmon, not the big brutes, but the smaller males we used to call Jack Springs. I know as well as anyone that the larger Chinook bite as readily as the smaller ones. There is no way I can skirt the possibility of hooking a large specimen, but in the event that I do, I’m fishing a line with a 6 pound breaking strength nylon that will enable me to shorten the encounter. I pull the truck into a derelict gravel pit. The dog leaps out of the cab and trots about on a sniffing spree as I slip my waders on then toss my lunch and gear into a back pack. That done, I grab my staff

Students and staff at the Kitsumkalum school ‘Na Aksa Gila Kyew Learning Centre where Austin is principal, and community members and supporters host and organize the race. The race, which is open to all ages and skill levels, began after Austin took some of her students to the Vancouver Sun Run in 2007, and students mentioned they wished they could have a
similar race close to town so their families could understand how great it feels to race. One standout team this year, in memory of James Vickers, boasted 37 family members – up from 12 in 2012. And another standout participant was the oldest pre-registered racer, Doris Gorrell, 77, who finished her five kilometre race in a faster time than she did last year.

material from a fill-up. It’s hard to get on one’s tip toes in sand when one is wearing wading boots. Small cold spots appear highlighting the slipshod stitching in my Asian waders. The bottom slopes up to the bank where Oona, who has been watching the escapade, awaits. I find magnetic north, take a bearing and set out into the woods, the first section of which is a dense thicket of spindly trees interspersed with the stumps of their ancestors, all sharpened to a pig’s ear point by beavers. Next we cross a wide flood channel covered in dead branches that snap under my feet. We move into a forest of cottonwoods. There is thick bush immediately ahead. It is backed by light. I’d expected a longer, more arduous walk. We’ve only been traversing the island for 10 minutes and it appears we will be on the other side in five minutes more. When I emerge, Oona is standing atop a gun barrel of a log jutting out over a beaver lodge the size of a garden shed. We have a panoramic view of the Skeena’s valley at its widest. I can see Shames Mountain far upstream and hear a distant train. I can also hear the rush of the river, but it’s an awfully long way away, and between it and us are side channels, sandy expanses covered with wild flowers and sedges, and log jams.
