Northwest leaders forge alliance By JOSH MASSEY YESTERDAY SAW the signing of what is being heralded as a “monumental agreement” between municipal leaders throughout the northwest. The Northwest BC Resource Benefits Alliance (RBA) brings together mayors and other municipal leaders in a unified front to negotiate a deal with the province that would see provincial dollars allocated for infrastructure and services needed due to pressures of industrial expansion. Revenue sharing is the term used for these arrangements. Similar alliances have been forged between municipalities and government in the Northern Rockies, Peace and Columbia Basin districts. “I think virtually every director from the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine is com-

ing to that signing. That’s how important this is,” said Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine board chair Bruce Bidgood prior to yesterday’s RBA signing ceremony. “It’s like signing a northwest Magna Carta, it’s of that kind of import for us who have lived through boom and bust for such a long period of time,” he said. The list of signatories who attended the ceremony at the Best Western yesterday afternoon included mayors from Terrace, Kitimat, New Hazelton, Stewart, and directors from areas around the regional district, including the Nass. The first order of business for the alliance is to present the provincial government with a detailed plan for how revenue sharing could work, including formulas and timelines. The ongoing development surrounding pipelines, LNG plants, numerous mines, the Rio Tinto Modernization Project and the expansion of

the port in Prince Rupert are cited as industries driving growth that threatens to outpace the regional infrastructure’s capacity. A document released as a backgrounder for the negotiations states that the agreement would apply to communities with a 100,000 square kilometre area of the northwest and provide “(a) for good government of their communities, (b) for services, laws and other matters of community benefit, (c) for stewardship of the public assets of their communities, (d) fostering the economic, social and environmental well-being of their communities, and (e) ensuring that major resource development does not put the longterm sustainability of communities at risk.” “In order to obtain social licence for major resource development, the provincial government, federal government and major resource companies must share the benefits

of major resource development with RBA communities,” the document continues. Bidgood said the RBA is gunning for a deal to land $500 million to $1 billion in revenue over several years, similar to long-term deals forged in other districts. The alliance says that the partnership needs to happen soon to build on the $1 million already provided this year by the provincial government for planning through the Northwest Readiness Project. The money would go towards “things like repairs for the airport or sewer systems,” said Bidgood, items that could “prove an impediment to these new initiatives such as LNG and mines. What we want to do is become partners with the provincial government in helping grow the local economy to the benefit of all.”

High rate of illegal butts found here By CAITLIN CLOW

■ Memorial tree A MEMORIAL to Prince Rupert’s Ashley Coveyduck remains behind the plywood on this tree after the top of the tree, laying next to it above, was chopped down because it had been damaged by a fire and died, making it a hazard to vehicles passing by on Hwy 16, about 55 km west of Terrace near Kasiks Wildnerness Resort. Coveyduck died when the vehicle she was riding in went off the highway and entered the Skeena River in June 2009. A memorial cross with photos was erected at the base of the spruce tree by family and friends.

TERRACE HAS some of the highest rates of illegal tobacco in B.C. with only Vancouver and Kamloops higher, according to a study commissioned by the Western Convenience Store Association. The city has an overall rate of 19.1 per cent of illegal tobacco usage. The researchers looked at 48 sites across the province, three of them were in Terrace—the Dairy Queen, Boston Pizza and the Mills Memorial Hospital. The Mills Memorial Hospital was particularly high: 23 per cent of butts collected at the hospital were found to be contraband. The Boston Pizza had a rate of 18.4 per cent and Dairy Queen 15.6 per cent. The sites chosen for the study were based on the likelihood that a diverse sample of the population would gather to smoke there. According to the president of the WCSA Andrew Klukas, researchers would collect approximately 150 cigarette butts from receptacles and off of the ground and they were taken back to Montreal to be analyzed. This is a great cause for concern, Klukas explained, because it means that tobacco products are being sold without mandated health warnings and without age-verification checks. It also means that this proves there are channels open and alive for the trafficking of illegal goods.

By MARGARET SPEIRS

NICK WILLMOT never thought he’d see his rat terrier alive after the dog jumped off a cliff while chasing a squirrel July 9. Nick had just climbed up the 410 foot Tow Cliff on Graham Island, Haida Gwaii and saw the dog ahead, running back and forth, which the eight-pound Piper did when she saw a squirrel. “To her, a squirrel is just a rat with a fluffy tail,” said Nick July 25. Piper took a run at the squirrel and a bird that flew by and went off the cliff without a sound. Figuring the dog was dead, Nick checked the bottom of the cliff and didn’t see or hear the dog. “The kids were very upset,” said Liz, Nick’s wife. The family returned home to Terrace, mourning the loss of Piper. But then, July 12, Toni Lynn Davidson, who had rented a cabin at the bottom of the cliff, found Piper. Davidson figured the dog’s

Hall’s 50th

This Friday Terrace celebrates 50 years since the current city hall was opened By JOSH MASSEY THE HISTORY of Terrace’s City Hall involves more intrigue than one might guess looking at the modestly decorated building located at the foot of Lakelse Ave. The city is marking the 50th anniversary of the building’s opening this Friday, so it is a good time to reflect on the origins of the city’s municipal heart. Before moving to its current location, the city headquarters was located inside a renovated military building on Lakelse Ave. where a car rental business is currently located.

Before that, city hall was called a “village commission” and shared space with the courthouse and jail in the small heritage building on the northeast corner of Lakelse Ave. and Kalum St. During the mid-1960s, records show Terrace was experiencing a population boom. In 1961 the population was 5,940 and by 1966 it had ballooned to 8,637. There was talk of Terrace having finally become a “metropolis” and the city had soon outgrown the old military building. As the city grew, so did the necessity of a larger municipal building in which to

house expanding city services. But the cost was going to be steep and the city held a referendum in September, 1963. According to George Haugland, who was the son of the man who snipped the ribbon at the opening of new hall–pioneer, long-serving mayor, and first Terrace Freeman Emil Haugland— the city went to vote because the project required taking out a significant loan. The majority of Terrace voters, who had to own property to participate, supported the move for a new city hall with 583 voting yes and 107 voting no, a total of

77 per cent in favour. After the yes vote construction happened rapidly and it took 10 months to complete, though planning had begun years earlier. According to the daily newspaper of the day, the Terrace Herald, close to 200 people attended the opening of the new City Hall in 1964. In attendance were local Social Credit MLA for Skeena Dudley Little and Mayor Walter A. Yeo. An article in the Herald called the opening a “public inspection” and promised “coffee and refreshments will be served at the tour’s terminal point.” A company called NorPine Construction Company was the prime contractor on the building project and the architect who designed it was Frank Whitely. The city built City Hall

for $300,000, what in today’s terms would equal $2,301,219.51. The city had purchased land to build it on three years earlier. Christian and Eva (Osborne) Haugland, parents of Mamie Kerby—who was the founder of the Heritage Park Museum—owned a nice section of land at the foot of Lakelse Ave., and sold it to the city for $10,000 in 1960. In the purchase bylaw passed by council, it was noted that “the offer is indeed a generous one.” There was one catch, however. The sales agreement stipulated that the sale was intended to provide the city with space for a municipal building. Should the city decide to sell it for another purpose, the contract gave Christian Haugland and his heirs the

“first right to purchase” for the original price of $10,000. City Hall also used to house the RCMP detachment and the Skeena Health Unit, as well as the court, which was located where the council chambers is now. To this day City Hall still houses the fire department on the top floor and emergency services on the first floor. On the north part of the basement is a gym where the fire fighters lift weights to prepare for battling blazes. Upgrades over the years included consolidating what were once several different wireless radio receivers into a single tower for emergency services. The current renovation of the back and the front of City Hall will be complete this fall. And on Friday the city will be celebrating this 50 year anniversary.

Wednesday, July 30, 2014 Terrace Standard

EDITORIAL

Leaders THE departure of Terrace’s director of finance Ron Bowles means there will be another gap to fill in Terrace’s municipal leadership as summer advances towards fall and the November local government elections approach. Mayor Dave Pernarowski also announced he will be stepping down. As did longtime councillor Marylin Davies, who closed up shop after 51 years here and 10 years as councillor to move to Vancouver Island. This year the stakes are high. Several key policies and developments require deft hands on the tiller. Cue working with the Chinese Economic Development Zone that plans to build several factories on city land. Cue administering the new affordable housing fund. Cue revenue sharing negotiations and big vision files like a second overpass, acquiring land and expanding utility services. New provincial legislation means council must sit four years, up from three, so the elected members are in it for the long haul. Recent staff and council departures may not spell “leadership crisis,” but it certainly bares mentioning that the clock is ticking for new leaders or collectives to emerge. While councillor Bruce Bidgood has made it clear he will be running to replace Pernarowski, we still don’t know who will run against him. Or who will be running to fill in the vacant seats on council and tackle the policies and developments to come. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

People could benefit from sharing meals

ike puppies, our eating habits and food tastes derive largely from what our mothers taught us. If they fed us fries and takeout chicken, chances are we will continue through adulthood to prefer meals made up primarily of greasy foods loaded with salt ... unless we study food guides and adapt to new foods and meal regimens. A 10-photo series titled, “How We Eat Alone,” published in a recent Huffington Post, reveals much about today’s younger generation and their mealtime customs. In the first photo snapped at 8:13 p.m., a 20-year-old model “concentrates on her food while reviewing her busy day.” Her food consists of a substantial whole wheat sandwich, five mini carrots, and a glass of water. No milk. No fresh fruits or veggies. No nuts. Her right hand holds the glass of water while her left hand is poised to text. In another photo, a 28-year-old musician has a 1:20 a.m. meal following drum rehearsals. Wielding chopsticks in the air, he sits before a table laden with an

An occasional pizza or beer is fine but when it becomes the norm, it can lead to sleepless nights, sleeping pills, obesity and a dependence on laxatives. Granted, no identifiable sweets or pastries crowd these scenes. But all of these meals lack eye appeal and the recommended variety of food groups to maintain a healthy body. The photo most revealing of a family’s dynamics pictures a 13-year-old girl sitting on her bed eating her favourite Italian food prepared by her father, while she watches a TV show on her laptop. She lives with her father and her stepmother yet she eats alone in her bedroom? Why? Is it by her choice? Is there family friction? Do her parents avail themselves of a mealtime gathering to grill the daughter on her grades, her choice of friends, her wardrobe selections? My impressions of today’s families come from reading, watching news items, and a cross-section of TV shows and advertisements. The impression I have is that too

S TANDARD

many families live separate lives under a single roof. Parents work long hours to pay for hockey memberships, dance lessons, and other cultural activities for the kids when what the kids might crave most is time to talk with mom and dad, to toss a ball around in the backyard or watch a TV show together. When a father is so out of touch with his teens he can’t name their favourite TV show, movie, or snack food, a huge gulf separates dad from his offspring. Both could benefit from shared activities. That’s why I was so taken watching a grandfather walk hand in hand with his three-year-old granddaughter on their way to the public library. Three Tuesday forenoons in a row these two crossed Davis Avenue on their way to the library as I unlocked my truck parked on Market Street. In the morning quiet, their lively conversation carried clearly as they avoided stepping on sidewalk cracks like Jack Nicholson in “As Good As It Gets.” Bet Grandpa knows her favourite toy, cartoon and colour.

The Mail Bag MP’s claims not true, says Enbridge

Why not a Southern Gateway? Dear Sir, People back east demand that those of us who don’t want the Northern Gateway pipeline explain what we really want. In the tradition of Jonathan Swift (Gulliver’s Travels) here is my option to the problem. I call it the Southern Gateway. Alberta’s Flat Earth Society who don’t understand mountainous

terrain (living on flat terrain as they do) will like this idea. We run the pipeline along the Yellowhead Highway to Prince George. We then veer it south through Cariboo Country following closely beside the Fraser River. In the Hell’s Gate region the pipeline would have to be suspended above the Fraser Canyon and then

dropped wherever the river flows. Once in the Lower Mainland the pipeline would come by False Creek to docks where it’s sludge would be loaded onto tankers and would sail away to China. Well you should have heard the howls of protest from people I know in Terrace and

Vancouver. This idea produces such emotion they either don’t understand satire or they’re just too emotional. I think this is a better idea than burying the pipeline in the Nass lava beds. Volcanic eruptions act just like massive earthquakes. Brian Gregg, Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir: In a recent opinion piece (July 9, 2014), Vancouver Quadra MP Joyce Murray details her opposition to the Northern Gateway. While I respect Ms. Murray’s views, I also feel that it is very important to correct the record on a number of key assertions that she makes. First, it is not true that Northern Gateway will harm the economy. In fact, Northern Gateway will create thousands of good paying jobs that we need to support families and communities in northern British Columbia. That is why Canada’s national building trades unions, representing 300,000 working men and women, support the project. Moreover, Northern Gateway will generate billions of dollars in new revenue that Canadians need to pay for vital public programs, like health care, education, and infrastructure. Ms. Murray and opponents of the project fail to say how they will support those programs without economic development projects like Northern Gateway. Second, it is not true that Northern Gateway has failed to win support in communities along the right-of-way. In fact, 26 equity partnership agreements have been signed with Aboriginal communities representing more than 60 per cent of the Aboriginal population along the proposed route. We have more work to do, but we are very proud of the progress we have made. Third, it is not true, as Ms. Murray implies, that the Joint Review Panel set aside concerns about the proposal when it made its recommendation to approve Northern Gateway.

Can I interest you in a game of climate roulette?

ould you consider playing Russian roulette? It’s the deadly game dramatized in the Oscar-winning film The Deer Hunter, in which contestants spun the cylinder on a six-shooter revolver containing only one bullet, pointed it at their heads, and pulled the trigger, betting that with five chances out of six that nothing would happen. Those are good odds, but what if there were five bullets and only one empty chamber? In the climate game, the odds are becoming increasingly stacked against betting on the idea that prevailing theories of climate change are some kind of hoax. The latest IPCC Report on climate expresses a 95 per cent confidence level that anthropogenic climate change is real and that fossil fuel combustion is the major cause. At 95 per cent there are five bullets in the gun. Although governments and industry have deliberately and fraudulently attempted to undercut the findings of climate science to lower public concern, natural climate variability and

variations in warming effects (size and frequency of wildfires, floods and storms, arctic ice melt, movement in plant and animal ranges) are all indicating a warming planet, and scientific climate computer models that show human cause are becoming more reliable and accurate. What was uncertainty about future damage is now being offset by present costs. Only recently an early season wildfire has burned over 250 square miles of Alaska, forcing the evacuation of over a thousand buildings. Canada’s Department of Natural Resources has revealed that forest fires are an increasing threat in Western Canada—“big dollars.” In the last decade Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy were the two most costly storms in US history, with estimates for Sandy at $68 billion and for Katrina even higher. In Canada, flood relief costs for the worst natural disaster in Alberta history, the Calgary floods, top $6 billion. Numerous credible climate and economic models predict that such financial impacts will only rise in frequency and size.

GUEST COMMENT

AL LEHMANN We must mitigate the damage already built into the global system and limit further assaults on the natural cycles that have regulated our biome (within a consistent range) over the past ten thousand years. Established carbon industries and their compliant governments are serious obstacles to mitigation, however. Carbon industries now argue that natural gas is a transition fuel from dirty coal, oil and their de-

rivatives (higher in carbon), but recent studies suggest that fracking for gas with wells’ associated leakage (up to nearly eight per cent in some studies) and the fact that methane is over 20 times more powerful and dangerous as a greenhouse gas than CO2 make the climate impact of natural gas “at least 20 per cent greater and perhaps more than twice as great on the 20-year horizon.” But BC’s Liberals back fracked gas as the cornerstone of B.C.’s economy over the next hundred years, making a mockery of any carbon-trading scheme or carbon tax they might endorse. A political joke runs that “robbing Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul.” Now robbing future generations (Peter) to pay for our energy and lifestyle demands today (Paul) is getting unqualified support from both our Federal and Provincial governments. Many technologies, both proven and on the fringe, offer cleaner solutions to our energy demands. Molten salt thorium reactors and solar wind energy towers show much promise. Solar technol-

ogy is virtually exploding into prominence in the US, with huge gains in residential and utilityscale solar installations. In Texas there are now more solar workers than ranchers! Will Canada follow suit? As these newer, cleaner energy sources come on stream, they can power the construction of further renewables. But vested interests in carbon technology won’t go down without a fight. They’ll promise the world: non-polluting doublehulled unsinkable tankers, state of the art cleanup techniques, and decades of tax revenue (not to mention “jobs, jobs, jobs.”) They’ll deliver (though will not publicize) a global average of 20 oil spills per day, oil and gas train derailments, and toxic earth, air and water. The six-shooter is in our hands, and we keep spinning the cylinder. “Click!” (Lucky!) If real progress is about innovation, carbon is on the way out. Let’s not invest too much sentiment in its messy decline, but rather look to a cleaner renewable future. Al Lehmann is a retired English teacher living in Terrace, B.C.

Kitsault moly mine work underway SIX YEARS after it bought the site of a former molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast, followed by intensive periods of drilling and exploration and then thousands of pages of technical, environmental and other studies leading up to federal and provincial approvals and an economic benefits deal signed with the Nisga'a Nation, Avanti Mining is working up to what it expects will be fullon construction starting next year for a revived operation to open in 2017. The work being done this summer and into fall consists of building a four kilometre road to where the mine's planned main processing plant will be and site clearing and preparation for an accommodation camp. “It'll be of the same standard as a forest service road,” said Avanti chief operating officer Jeff Lowe of the gravelled access road which will branch off of an existing forest service road. Work at the plant site includes expanding the current 50-person exploration camp to hold 150 people and preparing the ground for permanent facilities such as a kitchen, rec centre and offices, he said. Road construction is being done through a contract let to Hobiyee and Bear Creek Contracting Joint Venture made up of Bear Creek Contracting of Terrace and Nisga'a-owned Hobiyee Management Ltd. “We'd like to get as much of that work done as possible in order to put in those facilities when they are ready,” Lowe added.

EQUIPMENT BELONGING to the Hobiyee and Bear Creek Contracting Joint Venture is working on a road building project providing access to Avanti Mining’s proposed molybdenum mine location near Kitsault on the north coast. Mike Edwards from Bear Creek described the road project as exciting in two respects. “It's great to be involved in a local project like this and we're excited about our partnership with Hobiyee,” he said. “There's good opportunity for training of Nisga'a people and we're looking forward to being involved with local people.” The work now underway is part of a multi-pronged plan for next year's start of actual construction which, at the peak, will employ 700 people. Avanti has hired AMEC, a mines engineering and consulting company, to prepare

the detailed kind of drawings and specifications needed. “Having that detail is pretty important as we start soliciting quotes from manufacturers,” said Lowe. “As we get into summer you can expect us to start signing some pretty major contracts.” The object, said Lowe, is to have “everything fit together like a glove” starting next year. Plant site earthworks and power line work is to start this fall. Avanti is forecasting a 14-year mine life employing 300 directly but additional drilling at the location has officials optimistic of extending operations.

Gateway has worked with one goal in mind: to build a safer, better pipeline that generates jobs and opportunity and protects our environment. Key to meeting that goal is listening carefully to British Columbians and Canadians. And our proposal reflects the input of thousands of people from every walk of life.

In fact, the Joint Review Panel process was the most comprehensive environmental review of its kind in Canadian history. It recommended approval of Northern Gateway subject to 209 tough conditions. Ms. Murray’s party hopes to form government in the next election. If successful, they too would rely upon the experts and processes at the NEB to determine whether economy boosting projects like ours can be built and operated safely. From the beginning, Northern

A successful start up by Avanti will be the third time molybdenum has been mined from Kitsault. The second attempt in the late 1970s resulted in a town being built but production ceased in 1982 when the market for molybdenum, which is primarily used in steel alloys, collapsed. Concentrate produced at the site will be shipped south of Kitsault on a forest service road before turning east on the Cranberry Connector then south on Hwy37 South to Hwy16 at Kitwanga for the journey to port facilities at Vancouver. From there it will be shipped to overseas smelters.

Avanti already has an agreement with a German firm to buy half of its production and an agreement with a major South Korean steel manufacturer to buy another 20 per cent of its production. Those kinds of agreements go a long way in negotiations now underway for the company to line up the approximately $1 billion it needs in construction capital and then working capital during the mine's early operating life before it can establish cash flow, says Avanti chief financial officer Graham du Preez. The German off take agreement to ThyssenKrupp Metallurgical Products brought on an additional advantage for Avanti. Based on the amount of its product to be sold and consumed within Germany, the German federal government has agreed to provide a loan guarantee of up to $300 million of any debt undertaken to finance the project. The off take agreement (50 per cent of production for the life of the mine) with German steelmaker Thyssen Krupp, comes with an additional advantage for Avanti. The amount of molybdenum sold and consumed inside Germany, is sufficient to qualify Avanti for a German government loan guarantee through a program it maintains. Under that loan guarantee program, European banks are mandated to collectively provide US $300 million of the total project finance facility for the mine’s development.

Power line now energized By JOSH MASSEY AFTER A construction effort that took over two years and hundreds of millions of dollars of government financing to finish, BC Hydro has quietly announced the activation of the 344 kilometre Northwest Transmission Line (NTL). “The Northwest Transmission Line is fully in service now and that happened last week on July 15,” said BC Hydro senior communications specialist Lesley Wood of the 1,092 tower line stretching into the mountains north of Terrace. The powering up of the NTL was not accomplished by pressing

an “on switch” but rather through an incremental, section by section activation that happened over weeks, she said. “We had to make sure everything is running smoothly, safely and reliably, and at that point it started sending power to the AltaGas project,” said Wood, adding that the activation went “very well”. Right now the 287-kv line is operating at only a fraction of its capacity, with that single operation, AltaGas's 195 MW Forrest Kerr run-of-river hydroelectric project located on the Iskut river, drawing power from the line.

“At this point in time AltaGas's Forrest Kerr project is connected. They are going through their final commissioning for that small hydroelectric project and they need electricity to do their final commissioning," said Wood. "So they are taking power from it right now and when they finish their commissioning process, in the fairly near future, they will start feeding power back into the grid,” she continued The next industrial project to hook in, and the only one other than the AltaGas project to have signed a supply contract with BC Hydro to connect to the NTL, will be Impe-

rial Metals' Red Chris mine. “We understand that will be some time later this year,” said Wood. While the many temporary jobs created during the construction phase of the NTL have now come to an end, Woods said that environmental reclamation work is ongoing, and that the BC Environmental Assessment Office requires access roads and other disturbances to be restored to their pre-construction state through planting trees and other measures. A more formal christening of the recently activated power line is planned for mid-August.

Airport passenger stats continue to fly By CAITLIN CLOW AT THE six-month mark of 2014 the Northwest Regional Airport's passenger stats show a 61 per cent increase in traffic from last year. “I don't think we're going to experience any down turn,” airport manager Carman Hendry said. “We're going to level out, it's all good news.” The airport has also seen an increase of 52 per cent this fiscal year so far.

Carman Hendry The regional airport has already had 121,137 passengers come aboard in

2014 meaning that the airport will most likely exceed last year's 177,294 total. The month of June alone saw 21,781 passengers travelling in and out of the Terrace-Kitimat area, with only one flight missed. These numbers don't just reflect all the summer vacationers but also the increase in industrial activity in the area. Ongoing development with liquefied natural gas companies, mining and river projects keep the airport

busy, he said. In response, the airport is expanding parking to hold 800 vehicles and expanding the apron to allow for a third aircraft to service the area. They are currently waiting for a funding application for the expansion of the parking lot that will be coming in October, Hendry said, noting that construction will begin shortly after. The apron should also be completed in the fall, he said. Airport passenger fig-

ures come from scheduled carriers Hawkair, Air Canada Jazz, Central Mountain Airlines and WestJet and do not include chartered or private passenger totals. With that being said, in June, Hendry said, charters carrying 1789 construction workers have also made their way through the terminal. The airport also plans to upgrade its electrical system in the coming year and implement an airport firefighting service.

“For a junior resource company like Avanti, that makes a huge difference and gives the project credibility,” du Preez said of the financial groundwork already in place. “The Korean off take agreement in particular makes the project attractive to Asian financiers as well,” du Preez added. Avanti's Kitsault deposits also contain an amount of silver, leading to the possibility of selling that as one way of raising capital. “There are companies that would be willing to pay a percentage up front in this type of streaming transaction,” said du Preez. The ability to sell a byproduct further adds to the kind of innovative financing junior resource companies need to undertake to move their projects forward, he said.

Riverboat Days 2014

Welcome to Riverboat Days By RIVERBOAT DAYS SOCIETY TERRACE - Music, a parade, fireworks, great food—it’s Riverboat Days! This is the time of year people gather in Terrace to celebrate this place, its natural beauty, its history, its people. Riverboat Days is the time to have fun during the peak of summer. So many new experiences on offer as event organizers open their doors. Never tried archery before? Never been to a drag race? Never peaked inside the Grand Trunk Pathway railcar? Why not this year? Back 100 years ago, great changes were underway in the Skeena Valley. The year 1914 marked completion of the transcontinental Grand Trunk Paci fic Railroad, thus signalling the end of the Sternwheeler era. It was also start of the Great War. The economy would change, people would move to and from the region. In many ways, this history still shapes us and maybe parallels current events. Riverboat Days is a chance to reflect on our history and what we have become as a community. In 1914, crowds might be drawn to the train station. In 2014, at Riverboat Days, we excitedly assemble at George Little Park. New this year are the first-ever Street Medley that will see the “4600 Block” abuzz with music, art and activities. Try the Terrace Mountain Orientation Hike, celebrate the 100th anniversary of Kitsumgallum School or enter the Charity Poker Tournament.

For a little fun and exercise, the Zumba Extravaganza invites people out to try this dance fitness craze from South America for an afternoon fitness party on the first Saturday of Riverboat Days. Concerts in the Park, the Legion Parade, fireworks over Ferry Island are sure to attract big crowds. But expect a big crowd too at the Skeena Mall as the FMX Motocross Madness returns to Riverboat Days after eight long years! Huge acrobatic leaps on motor bikes with blue sky and our mountains in the background will make awesome pictures. Concerts in the Park again presents the best musicians in the northwest, with the Saturday lineup voted in by fans of CFNR radio. And it is a triple feature for the headline act: Rock of Ages brings three top-notch tribute bands playing the music and looking the part of Heart, Led Zeppelin and ZZ Top! Plus the music continues Sunday, with acclaimed singer/songwriter Mark Perry closing out the concerts. Riverboat Days is in all meanings a community festival. It is the product of dedicated work of volunteers, individuals, non-profit organizations, the business community, First Nations and local governments organizing and sponsoring each event. Local media play a huge role in spreading the information and the enthusiasm. The Terrace Riverboat Days Society thanks them all. We also acknowledge continuing financial support to the society from the City of Terrace, Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, BC Hydro, LNG Canada and Imperial Metals. Have a safe and fun Riverboat Days!

Riverboat Days 2014 Motocross Madness returns TERRACE - The stars all came into alignment this year for the return of the highest flying, fastest sport at Riverboat Days after eight years without it. Freestyle Motocross Madness returns to the Skeena Mall parking lot with Reagan Sieg and Jeff Fehr launching their bikes off steep ramps into the air where they do handstands on the bikes and many more stunts for the crowd below. Promoter Steve Pereira says it’s thanks to the upswing in the economy, local sponsors and the riders’ schedules that have brought the show back this year after so long. “All the kids born or a couple years old [back then] are now 10 and older so it’ll be pretty neat to see new young kids there,” he said. And Fehr, who was new to riding back then, has since performed in the U.S., Mexico and

Europe and really improved his game. The weather also plays a big role with rain and wind putting a bit of a damper on the show previously so Pereira’s hoping for nice weather. Once again, free swag will be given away, shirts etc. and the local sports stores will have bikes and ATVs there too. And Sieg and Fehr will sign autographs. “I’m really excited to be doing it again,” said Pereira, adding he’s anticipating an even bigger crowd than in previous years. The riders will perform for 20 to 30 minutes at a time and then take a 10 or 15 minute break and repeat it during the two hour event. Sieg and Fehr will ride in the parade and put on their free show Aug. 2 in the Skeena Mall parking lot, which will be blocked off to parking. People are advised to park elsewhere such as the old Co-op parking lot and walk.

Riverboat Days Captain and Queen ready to shine By MARGARET SPEIRS TERRACE - This year’s Riverboat Queen feels honoured with the title and will add it to the many honours she’s had in her life. Mary Ann Misfeldt is thrilled to be chosen and says her husband, Doug, also feels the same way. “Well, it’s quite an honour. This has been my home for a long time and I’m very excited about it,” she said. “Yes actually, he (Doug) is. Guys are a little more reticent to go ‘yay’ but yes he’s very pleased.” She has been a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #13 here since 1969 – that’s 45 years – and her husband has been a member for 28 years. Mary Ann was in the air force police force for peacekeeping service. She was in Afghanistan with the legion in 2005 on a public relations trip, and not for peacekeeping. In 2004, she was the first woman named as Royal Canadian Legion Dominion president, an honour in itself. “That was very much. Although I said so many times, the honour was in being elected, having your comrades feeling you can handle the position regardless of gender,” she said, adding she was surprised to be chosen being the first woman in more than 81 years and someone coming from a little place called Terrace. For the last 28 years of her working life, Mary Ann worked for the provin-

cial government, which was convenient as it gave her weekends off, with regular working hours so she could balance home, family and the legion with it. Doug worked for years in logging before going into sales. Now they’re both retired from everything but the legion. He came out west from Saskatchewan to Kemano in 1955 with his family, went to high school in Kitimat and then during university, started working summer in the logging industry here in Terrace, she said. She came out from Saskatchewan in 1969 and they met here years later. They’ve been together for about 20 years and have been married for four years, she said. They love to travel, go cruising and go back to the prairies regularly. And they’re both ready to dress up in style for Riverboat Days. “I definitely have a dress and a hat and I’m looking for a parasol and trying to track down a captain’s hat,” she said. She has a warning for visitors coming to town. “They better be careful. I came for five years in 1969 and I’m still here,” said Mary Ann. “That’s what Terrace does to people, it just holds them.” The Riverboat Days Captain and Queen will be in the parade and at various events during the 10 days of the event.

Contraband tobacco sold here “What once was a problem solely in Central Canada has made its way throughout the West and into our communities in B.C.,” Klukas said in a press release. It’s like flipping on the light switch—opening channels to sell illegal tobacco means that later those same channels could be used to sell other illegal products: guns, drugs, or even human trafficking, Klukas said. Klukas explained that contraband tobacco used to be a really big problem in the ’90s. In 2009, 50 per cent of contraband tobacco was found in Ontario, he said emphasizing that this percentage and the selling of illegal smokes is an example of organized crime. “When you find a WARM contraband dealer, don’t give them a slap on the wrist, but put a stop to it,” he said acknowledging that a lot of people don’t even realize they’re doing anything Displacement wrong when they buy them.

According to the WCSA, contraband cigarettes are typically manufactured in illegal facilities on reserves in both Canada and the U.S. but can also be shipped in from overseas.

The KSM Project: Responsible Development The KSM Project achieves signiﬁcant milestones June and July have been eventful months for Seabridge Gold’s KSM Project, marked with several positive achievements for the proposed gold-copper-silver-molybdenum mine located 65 kilometers north of Stewart.

NOW

The first highlight was the BC Environmental Assessment Office referral of the KSM Project Environmental Assessment (EA) application to the BC Minister of Energy and Mines and the BC Minister of Environment for a decision. The Ministers have until August 4, 2014 to decide whether to issue an EA Certificate, decline to issue an EA Certificate or order that further assessment be conducted. Seabridge looks forward to sharing the Ministers’ decision with you in its next story. The second highlight was the release by the federal Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) of its comprehensive report on KSM which has been submitted for Ministerial decision at the federal level. The report finds that the KSM Project is likely to have no significant adverse environmental effects. A federal decision is expected this fall. These referrals represent more than six and a half years of work and effort from an extended group of people including Seabridge staff and consultants, Treaty and First Nations, provincial and federal government officials, US and State of Alaska regulators and community members. Seabridge is grateful for everyone’s contribution to undertaking a thorough and comprehensive EA process. Recognizing positive Treaty and First Nation relations Seabridge has worked hard to ensure Treaty and First Nations involvement in the EA process. This effort was recently recognized by two positive events. The first was establishment of a Benefits Agreement with Nisga’a Nation that institutes a long-term co-operative relationship between Seabridge and the Nisga’a Nation under which the Nisga’a Nation will support development of the Project, participate in economic benefits from the Project and provide ongoing advice. The Agreement includes commitments by Seabridge regarding jobs and contracting opportunities at the KSM Project, education and training, financial payments and a framework for

KSM Working Group members participating in one of the many meetings during the Environmental Assessment process.

working together on ongoing development matters. This comprehensive agreement also addresses concerns expressed by the Nisga’a Nation around the potential environmental and social impacts of the KSM Project. The second was an agreement established with the Gitanyow Wilps represented by the Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs Office (the “Gitanyow Huwilp”). Under the agreement, Seabridge agrees to provide funding for certain programs relating to wildlife, fish and water quality monitoring to address some of the concerns raised by the Gitanyow Huwilp, as well as for a committee to establish a means of maintaining communications about KSM Project related issues. Regulatory process next steps As part of the regulatory process, Seabridge will be holding community information sessions in northwestern BC in August to discuss the KSM Project, including the tailings management facility’s (TMF) location, explain how the TMF’s dam structure has been designed and share how fish habitat and aquatic life will be protected. Watch for notices in your community papers for the dates and locations of the meetings for your opportunity to learn more. You can also visit the project website www. ksmproject.com and the Smithers and Dease Lake community offices for more information and news.

Environment can handle development: study By CAMERON ORR

ANYONE HOLDING their breath over ever seeing the Kitimat Airshed Assessment can breath easier now with its release earlier this month. The Government of B.C. commissioned for the study of the impacts of industrial developments to the Kitimat area, but since it finished the government held on to the document claiming it as Crown privilege. Speaking to reporters July 18 Environment Minister Mary Polak said it was always meant to eventually be released publicly. An overview of the report shows that “The airshed can accommodate industrial growth without significantly affecting the health of residents or the environment,” a government Powerpoint presentation read. The study focused primarily on Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrgen Dioxide (NO2). SO2 is the subject of an environmental permit appeal by two Kitimat residents who feel Rio Tinto Alcan’s postmodernization SO2 emissions are too high. The government study included the possibility of four liquefied natural gas terminals, a proposed oil refinery, gas-turbine powered electricity generating facilities, predicted increased shipping along the Douglas Channel, and future expected increases in road and rail traffic. “We want to ensure any potential impacts from industrial air emissions are clearly understood before new projects are approved,” said Polak. As for RTA’s existing permit, the government has no plans to revisit it save for possibilities from the appeal. Lis Stannus, one of two Kitimat appellants against the RTA permit, is pleased to see the study finally released, but at over 300 pages she said she’d need time to go over the details. Graphs from the government do show the potential for significant SO2 reductions in the event SO2 scrubbers are used by the smelter. S02 health risks showed minor possibly increases in respiratory incidents of between .5 and two per cent, and

risk directly related to proximity to industrial area. The study area for the assessment included “near” areas of Kitimat industrial area service centre, “Far” areas included Terrace, Gitga’at Old Town, Hartley Bay and

the Kitimat-Stikine regional district. “We’re glad that government’s done the right thing by releasing the report,” said Lis Stannus. “I just hope the B.C. government remembers to put people first here and not indus-

try. Because that’s the job of government, to look after it’s people.” Rio Tinto Alcan did not have any specific comment on the release of the report but the company did say they’ve received assurances from the ministry

of environmental that the report “validates the environment and health findings of Rio Tinto Alcan’s SO2 Technical Assessment Report,” and that the ministry maintains support of the emissions permit. Among the report’s

other findings are conclusions that NO2 environmental impacts are low, and that there are some increased risk of soil impacts from SO2, but no negative impacts to vegetation across all emission scenarios (low to high).

There is potential for acidification of seven lakes, which were not specifically named but are part of the RTA Environmental Effects Monitoring Program. Lakelse Lake, however, was noted as at low risk of acidification.

Helicopter rescue aids Tahltan salmon By JOSH MASSEY

THE TAHLTAN First Nation have been lending a helping hand to unnaturally sequestered salmon trapped behind a landslide in the Little Tahltan River, which is a major tributary of the Stikine. “We're wrangling fish,” said Telegraph Creek Fisheries Manager Heather Hawkins two weeks ago in the heat of the rescue effort that involved 14 workers and volunteers working overtime during “long and hot” days as they netted fish and sent them by helicopter to their natal lake. By early last week they had netted over 2,600 fish, some of which that can weigh over 50 pounds, and relocated them to the Tahltan Lake 6 kilometres upstream. The provincial department of fisheries worked with the Tahltan Fisheries Department for the operation. “We're dropping a net into the river right now and we pull it in. That's how we do the live capture. We place them in totes, and I think the most that we had in the tote was typically 60 to 70 fish depending on if there is Chinook in there because they are big,” said Hawkins. “We'll have a fly day and send them to Little Tahltan lake where they spawn.” At the time of writing Hawkins anticipated they would meet their goal within days. She said that the goal was to

NISGA'A FISHERIES officials are keeping a close eye on a section of the Kwinageese River, a tributary of the Nass River, to make sure salmon along that route continue to be able to reach their spawning beds. Fisheries technicians confirmed July 15 that a small portion of a heavy cement blockade —important because it raises a pool just below a waterfall created by a rock slide, allowing the salmon to jump the falls and continue travelling upriver—has been washed out. Before the blockage was detected and fixed in 2011, salmon weren't able to get over the approximately 3-metre high rock barrier and the situation ultimately led to closed fisheries and ongoing restrictions so that the Kwinageese salmon could recover. But for now, although about five of the 44 thousands-pound heavy cement blocks have been washed out and water levels at the site are below average, fish

Once netted and placed in totes, the fish were airlifted by helicopter to their spawning grounds. have 8,000 Sockeye and 1,000 Chinook in the lake before ceasing the expensive and labour intensive operation. Once the water level goes down in the fall they hope to be able to find a longer term solution to the problem of the landslide. “The long term plan is to do some minimal blasting, a fish ladder, or maybe winching the

rock up to something and pull it out. Wait until fall or winter. Maybe the frost will push the rock out,” she said. Hawkins added that the landslide isn't blocking the whole river and there are now reports of salmon making it over the blocked passage. The Tahltan Lake is home to more than half of the fish stock in Tahltan traditional territory.

are still getting through. “It appears the fish are making their way up, we just had a report that some Chinook and Sockeye have gone past, so I'm really pleased with that,” Nisga'a Fisheries and Wildlife Department (NFWD) director Harry Nyce Sr. said. Nyce said his team anticipated future movement at the canyon site when the cement blocks were initially placed in 2011. “We knew it was going to move and that the site was steep and nature wasn't going to help us,” he said. “The water is powerful, very powerful. It looks like it's a small tributary, but it's not, it's pretty powerful when it gets going.” That fluidity means the department will most likely continue to use cement blocks for the near future. “I'll be reporting to our executive that we're requiring some help to do some more work, either place some more blocks there or whatever else our technicians want to do,” said Nyce.

“It appears right now we're short of resources, it would be nice to have something placed back in ... but our resources aren't there.” The 2011 initiative cost $80,000, he said, noting helicopter time took up most of that budget. For now, NFWD, the Prince Rupert federal fisheries branch, and the Smithers provincial fisheries branch are working to monitor the site, with a flight scheduled for Aug. 5 to measure the pool's capacity, according to an update from Nisga'a fisheries biologist Richard Alexander last week. “If fish can pass at low water levels, no immediate actions will take place and a more permanent structure will be pursued in the future. If fish passage is compromised, 10‐15 cement blocks will be placed at the site to increase the pooling capacity by the end of August,” read the update, which noted all permits have been approved for the work to go ahead, ensuring a swift timeline for the fix if necessary.

KSM (Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell) Project – Public Comments Invited July 21, 2014 — The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency invites the public to comment on the Comprehensive Study Report on the KSM (Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell) Project, located in British Columbia. The Comprehensive Study Report includes the Agency's conclusions and recommendations regarding the implementation of mitigation measures and whether or not the project is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects. Written comments must be sent by August 20, 2014 to: KSM (Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell) Project Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency 410-701 Georgia Street West Vancouver, British Columbia V7Y 1C6 Telephone: 604-666-2431 Fax: 604-666-6990 KSM.Project@ceaa-acee.gc.ca Copies of the Comprehensive Study Report and more information on the project are available on the Agency's website at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca (Registry reference number 49262). Copies of the Comprehensive Study Report are also available for viewing at the following locations: Terrace Public Library 4610 Park Avenue Terrace, British Columbia

Hazleton District Public Library 4255 Government Street Hazleton, British Columbia

Dease Lake Learning Centre / Northern Lights College Library 10 Commercial Drive Dease Lake, British Columbia

Stewart Public Library 824 A Main Street Stewart, British Columbia

This is the fourth and final public comment period on the environmental assessment of this project. All comments received will be considered public. The Minister of the Environment will take into consideration the Comprehensive Study Report, along with comments received from the public and Aboriginal groups, and issue an environmental assessment decision statement. This project is being assessed using a science-based approach under the former Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The project is also subject to requirements under the Nisga'a Final Agreement (NFA), a modern treaty signed by the governments of Canada, British Columbia, and the Nisga'a Nation. Canada is committed to fulfilling its obligations under the NFA before any final decisions on the project are made. The Proposed Project Seabridge Gold Incorporated proposes to develop a combined open-pit and underground gold, copper, silver, and molybdenum mine in the Kerr, Sulphurets, and Mitchell Creek watersheds located approximately 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart, British Columbia. The proposed KSM Project is expected to process 130,000 tonnes per day of ore over an anticipated mine life of 52 years.

“When people hear about the project they tend to agree with it more,” he said. Thompson, who oversees the business end of things, said there will be two decision points between as they proceed with their exploration. Currently they are in the first phase of surface exploration, which will be followed by the initial core hole sample drilling, and then deeper probing with slimholes to try to “touch” the reservoir of hot water deep below the surface.

Thompson said that they will have hit the $5 million mark on investment by projected end date of their exploration work which is November 2015, so if they don't see a promising configuration of land features and hot water reservoirs then they will pull the plug on the project, possibly before that time. Borealis has withdrawn from other projects in the past including one they started in the Liard reservoir north of Fort Nelson, but they say they are

gunning to start the first commercial geothermal plant in Canada. “People are shocked that we have zero megawatts in Canada,” said Dunn. “This project, given where it is in exploration, has a real shot at making it.” The total amount of energy generated would be 15 megawatts, with the possibility of increasing capacity at a future date, said Thompson. Whether this happens or not depends on what the company sees through their studies.

Revenue sharing deal By getting a revenue sharing deal signed soon, the alliance hopes to have infrastructure such as a new Haisla Bridge in Kitimat in place before construction of one or more LNG plants begins. Bidgood said the RBA has attorneys working for it in a negotiations capacity, the same people who worked on other revenue sharing agreements in the Peace and North Rockies. “We will calculate with the province

a formula for the allocation of some portion of those revenues or taxes derived from the LNG industry and other industries in our area,” he said, adding that the partnership with the province would hopefully lead to more transparency. “We are hoping through the partnership with the province that we will be privy to more timely information about those developments.” Mines in the region are also going to have an

impact, Bidgood continued, with 100 workers from the Kitsault mine, recently opened 300 km north, expected to live in Terrace. He said First Nations will also be consulted by the alliance. “If they are not interested in participating in the benefits negotiation, perhaps they are interested in sharing information,” said Bidgood. He stresses that what the RBA is presenting to the government “is not a wish

list.” Rather, it will be a request for a portion of profits after which the communities will “work together to come up with their own priorities.” He said that each community would pitch ideas internally for different projects according to its needs. “We are not asking for a handout, but to be a partner in growing the local economy. We provide all the services that the people who will be here will require,” said Bidgood.

BACKUP CARRIERS ALSO REQUIRED

Drug bust nets eight people CHARGES ARE expected for a second Terrace person in a northwest drug bust that led to 14 charges against eight people. Clive Douglas Evans, 54, is the lone Terrace person named so far and he faces two charges of trafficking in a controlled substance. “There’s one more (charge approval) with Crown still,” said Sgt. Dave Uppal of the Prince Rupert RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime (FSOC) section. The charges were announced earlier this month by the Prince Rupert RCMP FSOC section after the conclusion of Project Eputcher, a multi-jurisdictional investigation into street level drug trafficking, including RCMP detachments in Terrace, Prince Rupert, Masset, Queen Charlotte City, Kiti-

mat, Stewart, Hazelton, Smithers and Houston. From December 2013 to February 2014, the team of officers seized cocaine, crack cocaine and marijuana, reported police. “The project was highly successful and resulted in a significant disruption in illegal drug trafficking activities at the street level in Northwestern BC communities,” said Uppal, adding that these individuals weren’t necessarily working together, but may have been separate people arrested during the investigation. Four men were charged in Prince Rupert and one person in each of Terrace, Kitimat, Hazelton and Smithers, said police, adding that the ages of the accused range from 29 to 54. Several have histories of drug convictions in their own communities, said police.

Dos medals for Dozzi at games Northwest athletes compete at 2015 BC Summer Games in Nanaimo

TERRACE TRACK star Tyler Dozzi proved he could go the distance at the 2014 BC Summer Games in Nanaimo, winning gold in the 2000 metre (5:57.46) and bronze in the 1200 metre (3:23.62). Dozzi’s placings at provincial meets have been steadily improving over the past couple of years and the Grade 10 still has a long career ahead of him. Zone 7 athletics athlete Tanisha Davis’ saw a 6th place finish in girls’ shot put, with Shivohn Peters placing 16th in discus and Nigel Dodd placing 13th in the boys’ 800 metre. The boys 4 X 100 relay team placed 7th. In swimming, the Zone 7 Girls 4 x 50m Medley Relay placed 7th, with the Girls 4 x 50m Free Relay in 8th. The boys’ softball team placed 6th overall, with the boys’ and girls’ soccer teams and the boys’ basketball team placing 8th. The boys’ beach volleyball team finished in 9th place, with the girls’ indoor volleyball team placing 8th. “Headed to the games we knew we would be up against the most challenging teams and having the youngest team there increased the challenge,” said volleyball coach Kam Siemens. “The goal of the team was to ensure we elevated our game play and could compete with the best of the best. Although we placed 8th out of eight, the girls showed the other teams they were not going to just hand over the win. Every match we had was neck and neck and the competition had to earn each point. I am very proud of our girls.”

ers, Haig-Brown strains at the limits imposed by the intent and form of the work and transcends them. There are exciting descriptions of leaving Seattle and Vancouver with the sedan filled with rods and tackle bound for the lakes of the interior in search of Kamloops Trout and of running out of paved road somewhere near Rosedale on what was then a very long trip. When he finally arrives at the lakes, Haig-Brown describes great angling with now legendary figures like Bill Nation and Tommy Brayshaw, whose exquisite drawings grace the book. The fishing is done with silk fly lines, with Devon Minnows that are cast on lines of gut spooled on Silex reels. The writing is elegant, the reasoning taut and all of it is enhanced by the patina of time. In 300 pages Haig-Brown manages to describe the game fishes of B.C. and their life histories, describe the tackle in vogue for each species at the time the book was written, outline how to fish lures and flies, list prominent fly patterns and give their dressings, and still make time to for insightful, often brilliant, discussions and reflections on fisheries management, habitat protection, the impacts of forestry and commercial fishing on the salmon resource, and how sport fishing tourism might properly be prosecuted. Seventy years later, it is clear that HaigBrown was prescient. The last two essays in the book, “The Future” and “The People’s Right to Fish” are must reading for anyone who angles.

rince George has been Big-Boxed. You know the phenomenon: giant warehouse outlets for largely substandard goods manufactured at great expense to all of us by underpaid workers in the Peoples’ Republic of China are crammed into giant rectangular buildings located on the outskirts of town, then sold cheaply by people who make less than they should and who, in too many cases, lack adequate benefit packages. This unsatisfactory and blatantly unsustainable phenomenon is an inescapable result of the whacked out economic theories of Frederic Hayek and Milton Friedman as embraced by Maggie Thatcher’s Tories in Britain, and later by Ronnie Reagan’s Republicans on this side of the sea then aggressively marketed, packaged and sold to promote globalization by admen in the hire of the corporate ruling elite. Big Boxes are hard on a city’s core. They become gangrenous from lack of cash flow and begin to fester. Shops close. Money lending shops open. Good will shops proliferate. The crime rate rises. I’m sure that numerous papers have been written on the subject by urban geographers and that there will be many more to come. As I walked along the main streets of PG recently, I noticed that the indomitable spirit of small business has not been completely flattened. Small restaurants serving excellent food had sprung up.

SilverBacks head coach Troy Mick told the BCHL Newsletter that the brothers have left a great impression on the younger players and they will be missed. Kevin Kennedy, the boys' father said he's proud of them. “The school has an excellent athletic program and outstanding academics.” The boys will also be following in their great-grandfather's footprints Kevin explained. “My grandfather graduated from Queen's in 1939.” “I've been excited for it all summer,” Brendan said. “Although, it's nice to be home. We didn't get to spend a whole bunch of time at home last year so it's nice to at the lake and go fishing.” The two had the option to stay in B.C. and play hockey but Brendan said they are both more than ready to go to school. “It's nice to have a fresh start,” he said.

Pretty much team up on everything we do and I feel that we’re at our best when we do that,” Jeff said. “We read each other well and that’s part of what makes going to play so special.” Most siblings experience a rivalry, but Jeff said that helps keep the brothers accountable and it pushes them to be better. But “we definitely don’t stay friendly all the time,” he said. "I cannot express how excited I am, to announce that ... the Kennedy brothers have committed to play for us here at Queen's next season," said head coach Brett Gibson in a release on the Gaels' website about the team's new players. “It is still very early in the recruiting season and to have these calibre of players commit show's how excited they are about the direction of our pro-

the 5.7L Hemi V8 with 360hp, moving all that power to four wheels through an 8-speed automatic. City fuel economy can be frightening but I was surprised at how good this truck is, even when taking advantage of the new 120 km/h speed limit on the Coquihalla highway. The Durango put in a solid 11.8 L/100km, with more than 900 km driven. Keep in mind I didn’t soft foot my way to or from Kelowna. I did notice that the fuel economy improved vastly the closer I stayed to 100 km/h. The handling is a bit top-heavy in the corners, especially at higher speeds, but after some initial body roll, the Durango is very stable. One notable feature is the automatic fantastic adaptive cruise control, making the ride very enjoyable. Verdict If you drive in the city, the base 3.6L V6 engine might be a better choice based on fuel consumption but, if you drive a lot on the highway or tow a boat (3,265 kg towing capacity), the

Hemi is the right choice. Power was always there to pass and pull up a hill and the fuel economy can be good if the driver watches their speed. The V8 has the ability to switch off four of the eight cylinders when the truck is under light load and accessing this as often as possible makes a big difference. Another thing to consider is price: the Durango is not inexpensive, starting at $39,995 for the V6 and running up to $52,495 for the top Citadel V8. My family loved spending time in the Durango, we all had a lot of space and the trip was effortless. Our next adventure is to Portland, Oregon in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. I can’t wait to see how that new truck compares. The Lowdown Power: 3.6L V6 with 290hp or 5.7L V8 with 360hp Fill-up: 15.6L/9.1L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $39,995-$52,495

St. John’s, Newfoundland: Atop Signal Hill is an arrow that points westward. It reads “Vancouver, 5,031 km/3,126 mi.” I’m a long way from home. But as I look over the rock wall of the historical landmark in St. John’s, Newfoundland, I don’t feel so far away. An iceberg presents itself in the distance as the warm, morning sun lights up the Atlantic Ocean. The faint hum of a vessel’s engine drones away in the background. To think, on December 12, 1901, the first transatlantic wireless signal was received by Guglielmo Marconi at that spot is a fascinating piece of history. Interestingly,

Touring the Outback around The Rock my phone whistles telling me I’ve received a message. As I walk towards the all-new 2015 Subaru Outback, I realize that this vehicle is also making its own little history. Touted as the world’s first sport utility wagon, it’s now 20 years old and better than ever. There’s an all-new exterior look, the interior is much more refined, there’s a vibrant gauge cluster, a new audio system, and around back, there’s a total of 1005L of cargo capacity (that’s up 33L from the 2014 model.) There’s also a choice of two engines, a humble 2.5L, 4-cylinder with 175 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque, or a more potent 3.6L, 6-cylinder with 256 horse-

power and 247 lb-ft of torque. The latter of the two engines is what powered me around “The Rock” – not to be confused with Dwayne Johnson, the actor and former WWE star – but Newfoundland. With only a couple of days to figure out some adventures, time would be tight, but I’d enjoy each minute of it. Complete with a high-torque Lineartronic CVT, I had the option to up and downshift through the Outback’s simulated gears, in case I needed to pass cars en route to my various adventures. First: sea kayaking in Cape Broyle. Though the drive from downtown St. John’s is only about 66 kilometres, I’ve learned that giving yourself a little extra time when going

Thanks to the X-Mode feature, it allows for even more traction in high-slip environments. This all-wheel drive vehicle is just as happy being on the road as it is playing in the puddles, mud or climbing rocks. Another adventure that wasn’t as physically demanding took me to Ferryland. Established in 1621, this community south of St. John’s rests quaintly on the coast. While many clusters of homes do

Not just any lighthouse, but one that serves picnic lunches so you and your loved ones can enjoy a meal while sitting on blankets, partaking of a sandwich prepared on freshly-baked bread, sipping homemade lemonade and breathing in the natural beauty of the open ocean. Onto a higher paced adventure - sort of was a stop in Brigus. One particular bridge was on my mind. The one that competitors in the Targa Newfoundland race fly over. The sign says 10 km/h.

Hands-on experience for Kitselas students By CAITLIN CLOW THE KITSELAS Treaty Office is offering an interesting, hands-on work experience for two summer students. Caledonia Secondary School students, Charles Swanson and Hayley Wells have been hired to help organize the summer culture camp and teach youth about the Kitselas treaty. “It’s one of the best jobs I could possibly ever have because I get more contact with my community and my community is who I am,” 17-year-old Wells said while sewing a crest onto a piece of felt that she is fashioning into a jacket for her dog. Wells said she assumed she would be doing administration work when she applied for the position. But “I got so much more out of this than I expected,” she said. The two summer students started earlier this month and they said that already they’ve learned so much about their culture, the history and what treaties can do for them. “The fact that we are working for our community rather than Dairy Queen or something and to know that it will benefit not just us but the people around us,” Swanson said was one of his favourite parts about working for the treaty office. The position is a paid position, plus these summer students are also getting credit for school that goes towards the grad transitions program—a mandatory program that requires a specific number of volunteer or work hours. A total of five students have been hired to work over the summer. “This helps teach our younger generations about the treaty and what it can do for us, but also what it means to be a Gitselasu,” senior summer student Cyril Bennett-Nabess said. Wells said that the best part of working in the treaty office is being able to gain work experience while inspiring others. “They will be running programs to engage the youth of Kitselas to give them an opportunity to hear from the youth as to their understanding or lack of understanding as to what’s on the table for Kitselas,” Kitselas official Glenn Bennett said in an email. The summer students will be attending meetings, contributing to the Canyon Current and planning activities for the culture camps in their pursuit to acquire knowledge about the treaty in order to teach and inspire youth in the community. “If we can teach these children then we know that we know enough,” Wells said.

Young women add colour to city By CAITLIN CLOW THE MUSIC and Murals program is behind the new painting on the side of the Happy Gang Centre on Kalum Street, and the artists are a group of young women. The Terrace Women’s Resource Centre Society, with funding and support from TDAC and Ksan Place and supporting artist Noreen Spence, played host to girls between the ages of 12 and 16 last week. “The thought of fostering the confidence in these young women really appealed to me,” Spence said, adding that she hoped the girls gain a great sense of accomplishment through their participation. The exploration and learning started indoors as the girls discussed what music — more specifically, Canadian music — meant to them, instructor Kelsey Minhinnick explained, and from there connections were drawn between music and art. Despite the bleak weather and daunting grey sky, three 14-year-olds, Beth Shep-

pard, Quinn Beblow and Bryn Giesbrecht, were out painting on Friday afternoon. “I thought [Music and Murals] looked really cool and it would be really neat to paint a mural and go back in a few years and be able to say, ‘I helped paint that,’” Beblow said. The girls learned a lot about painting from supporting artist Noreen Spence, specifically the importance of blending, depth and perception, Beblow explained. “We talked a lot about what music meant to us and we learned about different Canadian artists,” Sheppard said, admitting that her favourite right now is Serena Ryder. “I learned about how music can affect a lot of different parts of your life and it can be a big part of who you are,” Giesbrecht said. The biggest hurdle that this project faced, Minhinnick explained, was trying to find a place to do this. She knew that she wanted it to be a community minded organization and she knew the building would have to be privately owned.

QUINN BEBLOW, Beth Sheppard and Bryn Giesbrecht, (left to right), paint a mural on the Happy Gang Centre. With the help of artist Noreen Spence, the girls made connections between Canadian music and art. “I was walking down here one day in a bit of a panic thinking ‘where are we going do this’ and sure enough here is this beautiful wall!” she said. Not only did the girls get to get closer to their coun-

try’s artists but they also learned some strong interview skills, Minhinnick explained. “Happy Gang had the girls come and present in front of the board of directors, so we went over how

to properly shake a hand and we practised some questions they might ask,” she said. “They handled it like champs. So maturely, so professionally, and they were approved on the spot.” The mural should be

complete by next week and already they’re getting a lot of attention from bystanders and vehicles driving past. “One guy who passed by on Wednesday screamed, ‘Let’s paint this town!’” Minhinnick said.

Gitwinksihlkw buys new fire engine THE VILLAGE of Gitwinksihlkw welcomed its latest addition with Nisga’a tradition and other traditions this past week. The new fire truck received a hands-on blessing from the elders and the people, and according to firefighter tradition was washed down and pushed by hand into its holding bay, said Gitwinksihlkw fire chief and village law officer Marven Morgan. “The Nisga’a always blessed something of high value and showed their wealth by distributing goodies,” he said, adding the people gave out potato chips, pop, bottled water, oranges, bananas and one man from Kincolith came and gave out 300 Dungeness crab. “In the late 1800s, when a fire department received its new fire truck, it was custom to wash it down and hand push it into its holding bay.” That’s because the fire ‘truck’ at that time was pulled by horses so before it was put in the holding bay, it needed to be washed to get the horse manure and dirt off of it and the horses didn’t back it up very well.

The new fire truck was made by Hub fire engines, which is out of Abbotsford, he added. Fire engines have a life expectancy of 20 years and the previous one was going on 30-yearsold, said Morgan. Its main priority is to fight fires in Gitwinksihlkw but if called upon by the other three villages in the Nass Valley, it will go where needed, he added. Trained first responders and the jaws of life will be on board too. Since Gitwinksihlkw is the people of the lizard, the fire truck was named Lizzy, said Morgan. The name was because of the history of the lizards, or salamander, that used to be plentiful before the volcano, said Morgan. “After the volcano, the cold water moved in and pretty much reduced the numbers,” he said. “The Nisga’a didn’t have a translation for salamander. They say it is good luck to see and catch one.” The old fire truck is in storage and has been kept “bare bones” and if for some reason is needed too, it could be used to douse blazes, he added.

COMMUNITY

come from a long line of gardeners—some who planted, toiled, and harvested for purely practical reasons (If you’re going to eat it, you’re going to have to grow it, raise it, hunt it or gather it!), some who made their livelihoods through the earth, some who were conscious of the health and pocketbook benefits of providing their own produce, and some who indulged solely for the pure joy and delight of watching things grow—though I know there was pleasure in the process for even the most practical person. Though I love the physical and financial benefits, I definitely lean heavier on the “delight and escape” side of the why-I-garden trellis. If there’s something better for relieving stress, letting your mind flow and clear itself, and for stretching out and relaxing office-chair-sore limbs than kneeling, squatting, digging, tilling and rooting up, I’ve never found it. And this year, I discovered another powerful reason. I feel a sense of connection to family when I garden, knowing with each seasonal chore I’m performing tasks that generations have done before me. When I’m out weeding or watering, there’s a really good chance I have relatives across the country doing similar things and that’s inspiring to me. Last fall, I reclaimed and attempted to bring back part of my mom and dad’s old original garden spot on the property my husband and I bought. This spring I watched, fingers crossed, for signs of

JUST A THOUGHT

EV BISHOP

Garden thoughts and ghosts life in perennials I’d transplanted from my old house, plants given to me by friends, siblings, and aunts. Even more so, I watched for two well-established but long buried plants that had once flourished but ended up with deserted vehicles parked over them and junk piled on top of them: a peony plant of my mom’s and a huge patch of iris grass, one of my dad’s favourites. It looked like I was going to be dis-

appointed. Maybe the dirt I’d brought in was poor. Maybe I’d transplanted too late—or too early or too something. Maybe I should’ve covered them for the winter. . . . Whatever the reason, nothing was growing. I’d just started planning what I could do to fill the bed anew, when slowly, slowly—then more quickly—bits of green protruded here and purple-red shoots shot up there. One by one things appeared, and with relief I realized my new place is just a bit colder, thus runs a few weeks behind my old plot. And best of all? My mom’s peony that had been nothing but one wimpy stalk here or there, no flowers, for close to 20 years, came back. I got three big blooms this year and next year there’ll be more. And on the far end, 30 or 40 feet away, my dad’s iris grass had been waiting to thrive and sprang back to life like it had never been held down. My parents’ plants hold anchor spots in my new bed—a strangely moving realization that does happy-weird things in my head and heart. Plants can outlive us and memories of us stay with them. The thought hit me—as weird, unexpected thoughts will do when you’re out in the garden and the light is fading, but the wind is still warm and there’s just one more thing you want to get done. There are ghosts in most gardens, or in mine at least. But they’re friendly ones. As beautiful and enduring as fuchsia peonies—as resilient, tough and whimsical as iris grass.
