Huge land use change planned By ANNA KILLEN A VISION of what a substantial portion of Keith Ave. stretching west of the Sande Overpass could one day look like is beginning to come into focus. City council members last week examined a draft map containing ideas for shifting what had been property devoted to industrial use only to a mixed use for apartments or townhouses, hotels, cultural institutions and green spaces. The area in question is nearly 50 acres on the north side of the section of Keith Ave. from the overpass west to Kenney and 20 acres, also on the north side of Keith,
from the intersection of Keith and Kenney west toward Blakeburn. The larger parcel, now privately-held, once held a sawmill complex and the smaller parcel contained the log storage yard for the sawmill. This smaller parcel is now owned by the city but it has a deal in the works to sell five acres to a local automotive dealership group. City officials hired a consulting company to plan for the area’s redevelopment to invigorate it and to accommodate population growth based on projected large scale industrial development within the region. Internal cross streets, a park
running along the train tracks and a pedestrian overpass at Munroe Ave. are also on the map prepared by Urban Systems and shown to council members at an Aug. 6 committee of the whole meeting. The plan is meant to be flexible and allow for mixed uses in order to respond to market demand and evolving needs, said Urban Systems planner Leighton Ginther. Balance is also important, he said, with the presentation acknowledging that the neighbourhood is both a key industrial area and a key area to accommodate growth. “It’s really is a guiding tool for council to make decisions in the

future as this area changes,” said planner Tina Atva. “It’s a way to work with the community to come up with a vision for the area and also to build off of what you’ve already said in the existing official community plan.” How to zone and account for an existing rail spur, one of Terrace’s last, on the northeastern end of the designated lands, will also need to be considered. And transportation planners will need to look more in depth at the internal road network for the area, existing and future traffic patterns and signage, and at how to best upgrade Keith Ave. and maintain its use as a trucking
route. The fact that it is a main trucking corridor was a cause of concern for at least one citizen who attended the meeting. “If you don’t remain trucking friendly ... you’re going to have a domino effect [ending in more expensive goods at the store],” said Mary Anne Freeman, whose husband owns LK Freeman Transport. She noted that if there isn’t a second overpass soon, there will be an accident, and she’s worried about what will happen to the truckers and trucking culture once families begin moving into the area.
THE OFFICIAL completion of BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line was recognized today with a plaque unveiled at the crown corporation’s Skeena Substation, Kilometre 0 of the line which stretches 344 kilometres north of Terrace to a newly-built substation at Bob Quinn. The $746 million 287 kilovolt line was energized last month with the goal of providing stable and affordable power to mining and other developments and to transmit power into the provincial grid from power projects in the region. Calgary-based AtlaGas is the first customer for the line by feeding power into it from its Forrest Kerr run-of-river project along the Iskut River, the first and largest of three such projects owned by the company. “We are pleased to announce that we have safely commissioned and energized the largest construction project in our history,” said AltaGas chair and CEO David Cornhill in a recent release. The first customer to take power from the line is to be Imperial Metals of Vancouver for its Red Chris copper mine which is now being commissioned.
Imperial built a second transmission line from the Bob Quinn substation north along Hwy37 North to a point where it then built a smaller line to the Red Chris property. Taken together, the transmission line, three run-of-river projects and mine represent more than $2 billion of spending. A group of approximately 40 people, including provincial energy minister Bill Bennett, senior BC Hydro officials, officials from the major companies which planned and built the line, local politicians and economic development officials and First Nations representatives were in attendance at the substation. Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski said the construction of the line is a critical piece of infrastructure for the city, region and province. “It really is a crucial piece of the puzzle for diversification of the economy and for stabilization of the economy,” he said. Pernarowski noted that in addition to AltaGas and Imperial Metals, more companies are eyeing the northwest, attracted by the power being made available from the transmission line.

Memorial remembers ‘Mayor of Thornhill’ “MAYOR OF Thornhill” Les Watmough was honoured with a bench dedicated to him on Thornhill Landing during Riverboat Days festivities Aug. 5. About 60 people, including several Terrace city council members and regional district members, came out for the unveiling. Les’s widow Diane and two of his four children, Marilynn and Albert, helped put the memorial plaque on the bench. Watmough, who died Oct. 27, 2013 at age 83, served the people of Thornhill as their director on the board of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine from 1976 until 2008, with the exception of the years 1982-1984 and 1994-1996. He was instrumental in getting services into Thornhill: water systems, sewer systems, lights, sidewalks, firefighting, parks and cost sharing so the residents could have access to city-owned facilities. Watmough became known as the unofficial ‘Mayor of Thornhill.’ Cyril Bennett-Nabess, representing his grandfather Wilfred Bennett from Kitselas, welcomed everyone to Tsimshian land and presented the gift of a bent box made by youths at the band’s culture camps to the Watmough family. Alice Maitland, mayor of Hazelton, Kitimat mayor Joanne Monaghan, regional district chair and Terrace city councillor Bruce Bidgood and regional district director for Thornhill Ted Ramsey spoke about Les and his accomplishments. Watmough family friend Debbie Toovey sang three songs she’d written about Terrace and Canada. Bidgood, Monaghan, Maitland, Ramsey and Bennett-Nabess then lifted a white sheet off the bench and Ramsey helped Watmough’s family put a memorial plaque on the bench. Thornhill Landing was named after Tom and Eliza Thornhill, who operated a landing point for supplying wood fuel to sternwheelers plying the Skeena River during the days of the riverboats on the river.

Land use vision broad reaching “When you start having all of these homes, [you start hearing] ‘well I don’t want a stinky old truck there’,” she said, noting that in the winter, trucks need to keep their engines running, and trucks leave early in the morning. Trucks also need places to park and fuel up. She found an ally in business owner Bruno Belanger, who reminded council of local residents who were concerned in the past about noise Canadian Freightways’ activity – light shining into their bedroom windows and trucks starting early in the morning. “That’s all stuff to put into consideration when you are developing residential along Keith Ave.,” he said. He was also concerned about the businesses who are looking to expand in that area – and the future businesses who may want to come into town. “We have a lot of
people looking for larger pieces and if we don’t have them here, they’re looking at Thornhill,” he said. “We’re going to miss the boat. They’re not going to be looking at us as a priority.” Lael McKeown, whose family owns Progressive Ventures and a number of properties included in the transition area, echoed those concerns. “We are a service and supply hub. Businesses are thriving along Keith Ave. because of that,” she said. “We have to sustain that, we can’t cripple that part of our economy,” Keith Ave. is the last area with big parcels of land for light industrial or commercial development in town, she said, and the city risks losing out on business taxes if it only focusses mostly on residential in that area. “If you had a large commercial or retail development come into town and they said they
wanted 10 acres – you can’t find 10 acres in town, you can’t hardly find five acres in town,” she said. “We really can’t anticipate how this area is going to be used. We have to be absolutely flexible but we also
have to preserve this resource.” City director of development services David Block said the plan allows for flexibility – residential above commercial, as the market dictates, for example.
“That’s why this plan doesn’t say this piece right here should be this use and only this use,” he said. And Block did note that some of the larger parcels of land have been designated for commercial use.
The presentation from Urban Systems, came out of a week-long community workshop in June that saw residents, business owners, and interested parties tour the neighbourhood and attend public meetings to provide opin-
ions on what the largely unused industrial site should look like. A public comment period is ongoing, with a survey and overview available from the city. The goal is to finalizing a concept plan this fall.
Log yard site now cleaned up A CHINESE-OWNED woods company has now moved all of its logs from a city-owned property bounded by Keith and Kenney on the south side and has cleared the site. YaoRun Wood Company began leasing the approximately 20 acres from the city in early 2013 for $10,000 a month, storing logs there until they could be processed for export. A forest service official said the company has now relocated its log yard to Hazelton. YaoRun did run afoul of local contrac-
tors in the middle of 2013 when they said the company wasn’t paying its bills and, for a time, a contractor parked equipment at the spot, blocking access to the location. The company also failed to pay stumpage to the provincial government several times, resulting in seizure notices being posted. That prevented YaoRun from moving the wood until it made payments to the province. Beginning in late June, YaoRun began moving approximately 9,000 cubic metres of

logs, said the forest service’s Greig Bethel. “Hauling to Hazelton started almost immediately after the seizure notices had been lifted and the logs were released by the Compliance and Enforcement branch on June 26,” he said. While the city did have a lease with YaoRun for the property, it also sought to sell a portion of the land and earlier this year struck a $1 million tentative deal with a local automotive dealership group for five acres on the corner of Keith and Kenney.

has yet to be made. That will depend upon the outcome of a wide-ranging development plan being contemplated by the city along Keith Ave., she said. The plan would establish zoning for a mixture of residential and business uses on the above property which originally served as a log yard for a sawmill now dismantled as well as the vacant property stretching east of Kenney along Keith to the Sande Overpass which contained the sawmill complex itself.

The shortage of venues to host local bands encourages talent innovation By Caitlin Clow
hile there is no shortage of talented musicians in the Terrace area—thanks in part to a dedicated music community—the number of live music venues and fresh avenues to take in a local musician has been in a bit of a slump. But those established in Terrace’s live music culture say an increase in venues, artist incentive, and more organization could change the face of music in the city. And there are indications that change is beginning to happen now. “There are little pockets all over the place but there is really no established scene,” explained Marty Christiansen, organizer and founder of the first annual WestFest, a music festival held earlier this spring in Gossen, east of Terrace on Christiansen’s father’s acreage. With an increase in population, local cultural offerings should be a priority, he said, adding that a strong music scene encourages the growth of a community, an increase in revenue for local bars and community halls as well as the mingling of artists of all walks of life. “As the industry grows, I think it’s important that the culture grows with it, and to keep your identity before becoming a big money pit,” Christiansen said. Local drummer Jay Hughes has played in numerous bands covering every genre imaginable over the years. He said that this is a strange time for Terrace’s music nightlife because there is no real bar anymore. “There are a few pubs but there is nothing too cool going on, there is no incentive. I’d rather just hang out with my friends at home—this is my bar,” he said, from his home in downtown Terrace. By incentive, Hughes said he doesn’t just mean deals on drinks and food that attract clientele, noting that a typical night out will cost a minimum of $30, but the entertainment incentive that keeps patrons in their seats for the duration of the evening. Back in the day, more central venues were open to hosting live music gigs, Hughes explained, including the Back Eddy and the
now-defunct Gators and Jezebels and the Carpenters Hall—which was located near the medical building downtown. “I guess that lack of venue contributed to the demise of live music here and especially the punk scene,” he said, referring to Terrace’s lively punk scene that was prominent in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. The Carpenters Hall was vital to that punk scene, he said, because it was central and all ages but due to the behaviour of a couple of concertgoers, the venue became reluctant to host punk shows. “No one has ever catered that greatly to the musician side of things,” Hughes said, “which sucks because we have a lot of people that play music here and we have a lot of talent but there is no place.” There are a few hot spots for live music in town. George’s Pub in the Northern Motor Inn east on Hwy16, for instance, features live music every weekend, although it tends to be classic rock cover bands who play on a rotation. Other venues, Hughes said, include the Thornhill Community Centre, The Elk’s Hall and the Elephant’s Ear. “Right now, the Elephant’s Ear, which is a [expletive deleted] coffee shop, seems to be the only place that locally you can just play,” he said. The Thornhill Community Centre can be rented out to put on shows, Hughes said, but the cost is fairly high, especially for those new up-and-comers who don’t have cash yet. The hall rental is $260, plus a $200 deposit for booking and cleanup, which is refunded if cleanup is satisfactory. The Elk’s Hall is also bookable but shows there are quite sporadic. The local legion can also host live shows – which some, including local band King Crow and the Ladies from Hell, have taken advantage of. Most of the locations that are open for musicians to play are located on the outskirts of town. Pubs like the Northern and Thornhill leave no choice but to drive or take a cab. The lack of central, downtown based venues, like the Elephant’s Ear, could be influencing attendance numbers and ulti-
mately that community vibe that a strong music scene brings to cities. However, the music scene in Terrace is still developing; “Northerners are inventive, we’ll always find a way to play,” said King Crow’s band manager Sarah Zimmerman. Zimmerman also said she recognized the local music scene is beginning to shift. “With the recent success of WestFest, a few singer-songwriter nights at the Elephant’s Ear organized by other musicians in Terrace, it’s exciting to see the music scene here diversifying and more people getting interested in organizing shows,” she said. King Crow’s guitarist Jeff Chapman said he’s always felt supported by local venues. “It seems everywhere we go, be it festivals or bar venues, the bands and promoters are very welcoming and willing to make a space for us and help us out,” he said. Maybe it just comes down to
Hughes said he would use a few strategically placed posters around town. A combination of the two would work well, but the best method is still word of mouth, so text or call everyone you know. Zimmerman said that the small town atmosphere is good for the band in terms of inspiration and origin of sound, but it can also be limiting. “The one thing we do miss out on is the ability to network with other musicians and the wider music community including promoters, sound technicians and
venue owners,” she said noting that King Crow loves going on tour for that opportunity to mingle and network with other musicians.

with Split Seconds, an up-andcoming band from Smithers. This mingling of artists within a strong musical scene is vital for Terrace’s cultural identity because artists of any medium will merge and exchange ideas, giving the creativity cycle some momentum, explained Christiansen. And with the availability of venues willing to cater to live music, like the Elephant’s Ear, more musicians en route to festivals around B.C. could stop and play a gig here. “There is a huge network of musicians and so if one guy comes through and thought it was awesome, then there will be six more guys who want to come through,” Christiansen said, adding that in order to grow a solid music scene, attendance and participation is also an important factor. Variety is also key. “We don’t want one genre of music to take over and by keeping it varied then everyone is involved,” he said, adding that this was the idea behind WestFest, the festival he held in late May hosted upwards of 300 people and received a great deal of community support and sponsorship. He intends to run the festival again next spring. The music scene in Terrace is budding, but if more people get involved in terms of organizing and advertising shows it will ensure this bud blooms. “We haven’t really grown a music identity here yet and it’s kind of on the way to something,” Christiansen said. And if recent events are any indication—the July 22 show featuring Christiansen’s band Ranger Dan, and Black Spruce Bog hailing from Prince George, where around 100 people got to break in their dancing shoes on a Tuesday night in Terrace—attendance and participation are the least of our worries. If people are aware of a show happening in the area, they go. The live music scene in town is alive and well, but, for now, you just have to look a little harder for it.

Hydro rates IT’S not often a government admits its policies are putting its citizens into the poor house, but let’s give credit to Premier Christy Clark for doing exactly that. Last fall the provincial government announced electricity rate hikes of 28 per cent over five years. Then last month BC Hydro announced it was expanding its low-income energy conservative program of providing no-charge items such as compact fluorescent light bulbs and weather stripping by raising the income qualification cut off. It’s now $57,200, up from $44,000 for a family of four. Good news for those who qualify and bad news for those who don’t. If the self-stated goal of the province is to conserve electricity to better meet rising demand avoid building new and expensive new generating then, by all means, it should provide no-charge energy savings measures to all of its citizens. Setting aside income, people living in the north, regardless of income, have higher power demands because of longer winters and less daylight. What’s the difference between a kilowatt consumed in a lower income family then one consumed in a family of higher income? If the province admits that hydro pricing affects lower income people, then where’s the sense in higher rates driving other families into the poor house? Premier Clark needs to re-examine her “families first” agenda. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI as to keep me awake), how cold I become while reading online as I chew while the heat is turned down, and whether any random worries persist in chasing around in my head. An expert in treating midnight eating advised four avenues to eliminate this night eating habit which not only adds unwanted weight, but is unhealthy as it disrupts the body’s natural restorative pattern of deep sleep. As a first step, the expert advises therapy to identify why she turns to food in the middle of the night. What underlying problem or anxiety wakes her and why does
she comfort herself with food? Harvey offered to pay for six months of therapy for his guest. We can’t all avail ourselves of such expensive help. Second step: Get rid of the popcorn, ice cream, and snacks. The simplest way to achieve this is to not buy the foods when grocery shopping. I keep very little snack food in my house. Still, I can accept almost any edible as a substitute when I’m desperate to fall asleep and hope food will help. Step three: Re-direct attention to something other than food. Little chance of that for me. When I leave my bed, imagining the pleasure of a specific food I know is available in my fridge, I can stall myself with other foods but chances are I’ll finally go for my original craving. Fourth Step: An app (found at http://momentinthezone.com/tag/overeatingbinge-eating/ has been invented for this specific problem. Called A Moment in the Zone, the app guides you in developing a plan to tackle your eating problem, setting out five specific questions to zero in on your feelings that are compelling you
S TANDARD
to eat. The app urges you to eat mindfully; are you hungry or eating just to eat? What’s pushing you to eat? Are you angry; Anxious? Try to relax. Do you feel sad or lonely? Food is not a comfort, and after you eat, you may suffer guilt. Certainly, when you see the scale register more and more pounds you’ll wish you had stayed in bed, staring at the ceiling. Napping next day to make up for an hour of lost sleep is easier than exercising to lose an unwanted pound. Are you eating because you’re tired? Get some rest. Are you bored? Busy yourself. Walk a treadmill, do pilates, read a book, journal about your feelings and thoughts and what’s keeping you awake. Last winter I routinely got up about 3 a.m. to eat a wedge of cheddar until weight gain made me realize I just liked cheese. A saner sleep regimen – no coffee after 4 p.m., no naps later in the day – let me slumber without a snack. Claudette Sandecki sleeps well at her home in Thornhill, B.C.

The Mail Bag It is simply unspeakable
They weren’t being scammers Dear Sir: The Terrace Hospice Society would like to clarify a story on The Terrace Standard website, www.terracestandard. com, on July 17, 2014 in which it said that two ‘scammers’ were going door to door asking for money for the society even though the society wasn’t doing door to door soliciting at
W
that time. The people going door to door had done so around the time of Hike for Hospice and were community members collecting pledges for the hike. When a donation is given, a tax receipt for amounts of $10 and up, is mailed out. When the person in the story didn’t receive his tax
receipt, he called the society. Terrace Hospice Society then called the police to report a scam. Hospice staff did not connect the situation to their Hike for Hospice fundraiser. Later staff discovered the truth of the matter. The receipts were delayed in being mailed out due to staff
vacations. Terrace Hospice sincerely apologizes for the confusion and stress this story may have caused. For more details, call Penny at Terrace Hospice Society, 250-635-4811. Penny Dobbin, coordinator, Terrace Hospice Society, Terrace, B.C.
Dear Sir: I speak of the unspeakable: the plastic Tampon applicator, now available in Fearless, Radiant and Pearlized colors. Purples, blues, pinks and greens. I don’t have a biology degree but my powers of deduction tell me that when phytoplankton are ingesting micro-particles of plastic you have to ask yourself whether a contributing factor may be the ground up particles of those pretty, little, ubiquitous plastic tampon applicators. New research shows tiny pieces of plastic could pose a major threat to the waters off the B.C. coast according to research published in the Journal: Marine Pollution Bulletin (Vol 79 Feb 15/14). It shows tiny particles of plastic averaging about a half-millimeter in size (the size of coffee grounds) are polluting local waters: “We’ve seen this impact with photos of animals with their stomachs filled with plastics that are visible to the human eye. What we have not seen are pictures of the microscopic creatures at the bottom of the food chain and what plastics might be found in their bellies” said Peter Ross, a co-author of the survey and the director of Vancouver Aquarium’s new ocean pollution program. “The micro-plastics are being ingested by crucial aquatic food source — plankton — and killing them. It fills up the stomach and they feel like they’ve got a belly full of food but they have no nutrition associated with that. It’s simply a bit of plastic,” said Ross. “The highest concentrations of micro-plastics were found in Queen Charlotte Sound and the Southern Strait of Georgia. The scientists say the likely source of the tiny pollutants is waste water, particularly from the acrylic fibers of laundry machines.” (No mention of Tampon applicators but really?)

LNG benefits remain over the horizon
hen I wrote my last column saying we shouldn’t expect any LNG projects in B.C. to be green-lighted any time soon, I did not expect the hammer to come down quite as quickly as it did. As in Apache’s announcement of last week that it is pulling out of the Kitimat LNG project in favour of concentrating on North American energy plays. This is the project that was the poster child for Premier Christy Clark who often pointed to it as the most advanced of any of the of the proposed LNG plants in B.C. So does this announcement mean that Kitimat LNG is dead? Of course not. If Apache can find buyers for its 50 per cent share that have deep pockets, they are in it for the long haul and, most importantly, will be the users of the LNG, then this will be just another bump in the road. But as I understand it Apache has been trying to sell a 10 per
cent share since last fall without success. Which begs the question, if you cannot find a buyer for that 10 per cent, what are the chances you will find one or more to take up 50 percent? An optimist would offer up another scenario: Chevron buys out Apache to take 100 per cent of the project. Ain’t gonna happen, says Chevron vice-chairman George Kirkland. In a conference call with investors as reported by Reuters, he said Chevron was not interested in buying even part of Apache’s stake and in fact would be prepared to sell a small portion of its own 50 per cent. That didn’t surprise me. Chevron owns 47 per cent of the Gorgon LNG project in Australia, the one that saw original cost estimates in the mid-$30 billion range explode to more than $50 billion. And 64 per cent in Wheatstone, another Aussie project, that will come in at around $30 billion.
GUEST COMMENT
MALCOLM BAXTER Given it is already in for a fistful of dollars just with those two, I can understand why it would be in no hurry to carry the full load of Kitimat LNG. And there is one huge difference between the Kitimat project and the Aussie ones. While Kitimat LNG is marking time, Gorgon will be shipping out product by the middle of next year and Wheatstone will be doing the same by the end of 2016.
It makes perfect sense therefore to get those up and running and create cash flow before taking on more multi-billion dollar expenditures. (As an aside, Apache has a 13 per cent stake in Wheatstone which it also plans to dump. Given the project will be producing in just two years, Apache’s headlong retreat into Fortress America seems illogical.) So why do I believe Kitimat LNG will eventually go ahead? Major companies like Chevron and Shell have long horizons. They know that 10 or 20 years from now the gasfields will still be there waiting to be tapped. The potential LNG sites will still be there. And the customers will still be there. It’s just a matter of time and they have lots of that. Therefore this project – and others in the northwest – are not dead. They are, like Monty Python’s parrot, merely sleeping. FOOTNOTE: Someone who doesn’t have that much time is Premier Clark.
When she took office the provincial debt was $45 billion. As of March 31 this year it had ballooned to $60 billion, a 33 percent increase. Of course that didn’t matter because, according to the promise the Liberals ran on in the May 2013 election, the revenues from a British Columbia LNG industry export tax would wipe the slate clean leaving a debt-free province. A bit like running up all your credit cards figuring a lottery win will save the day. When Clark leads her troops into the May 2017 election – if indeed she does – there will not be a single operational LNG plant. And it looks long odds there will even be one under construction. Plus the provincial debt will most likely be even higher. So what campaign slogan will the Liberals be running on then: be patient, it’ll be alright? That’ll work. Retired Kitimat Northern Sentinel editor Malcolm Baxter now calls Terrace home.

Unspeakable
The question is what impact micro-plastic has on salmon and other fish that filter this water through their gills and survive on plankton. Plankton is food and importantly, breathes in carbon dioxide and breathes out oxygen. Humans need it, so do the fish. Mother birds also mistakenly feeds their babies these colorful grains and die. Am I responsible for this? The Tampon hasn’t changed much in decades because it’s nothing more than a simple and effective plug, it’s the applicator that has evolved and manages to ‘slide’ and ‘glide’ beneath the radar. Plastic is made from petrochemicals (crude oil and natural gas). Why is biodegradable a non issue when it comes to periods, because marketing has taken advantage of it’s lack of public discussion. We, the consumer, have been swallowed by the concept of desire and instilled with the need for luxury. Desire rules and without objection, we allow these greedy companies to fly off on a trajectory of flash, far surpassing our needs and in turn, negatively impacting the Earth. The warning bells are ringing but we’re not listening. Billions of these single use, beautiful applicators are flushed away around the western world every day. They sail down the drain into the sewer pipes ending up south of Graham Ave. at the sewage treatment plant (at the river’s edge). They await separation in the settling ponds. That big old grinder then kicks into action and grinds those pretty little applicators into granules of plastic. Particles small enough, flow into the Skeena River, the larger pieces are scooped up and transported to the dump were they await and wait degradation. Up to 500 years. The Tampax cardboard model works, why wouldn’t you choose it? Our periods are influenced by the lunar cycle and that means a box of those beautiful ‘Radiant’ & ‘Fearless’ applicators multiplied by all the women in town and around the western world are getting flushed into the oceans every month. Maybe the next time the power of the moon grips your body and you end up in the personal care aisle stop....pause...and think about it for a moment. Reach for the cardboard model. This small personal choice will eventually decompose leaving less worry for the Earth and serve your needs as equally well as its petrochemical counterparts. The added bonus: we will be a little less reliant on the gas and oil industry. When looking for ‘protection,’ think about it. Jude Haydock, Terrace, B.C.

LANDSCAPING HAS now been added to a memorial for loggers killed on the job erected at Usk on Hwy16 east of Terrace. A wide variety of individuals and businesses contributed to the memorial.
Work continues at memorial
BILL MCRAE Jr. has spent the last two months finishing the loggers’ memorial on his property just off the side of Hwy16 at Usk east of Terrace. The site now includes landscaping in addition to a rock memorial and large statue carved out of wood which was unveiled in the spring. The memorial, conceived by McRae and erected with the help
of friends and donated time and material, pays tribute to loggers killed on the job in the region over the years. The spellings of some of the names of those killed collected by McRae have since been corrected as well. “And I would like to apologize for the mistakes I made with the names,” McRae added. As of the latest count, more than 70 loggers killed have been

listed at the memorial. The wooden statue, created by local chain saw carver J.J. Jung, displays a logger wearing a 1950s era hard hat holding a large saw. The statue and the memorial consisting
of several large boulders were dedicated at a gathering April 27, 2014 attended by friends and family members of those who were killed on the job. It’s believed to be the only memorial of its
kind in the province and began as a tribute by McRae for a friend that was killed. The Spotted Horse Nursery supplied the flowers and the Kitsumkalum First Nation supplied the crush for the landscaping work.

I
t occurs to me there is a business opportunity here in Terrace, a service that is needed yet not provided. If you’re like me, you have pleasant memories of watching a late night movie with a family member, who, although they immediately fell asleep, provided companionship undemanding in every way, so cozy, comfortable and reassuring. Now, with my dad, this was a more challenging relationship, as his snoring was truly awesome decibel-wise. I’m thinking the service would guarantee gentle snoring, more like my mom and sister. I myself would offer Gently Snoring Charsy ™ for baseball games that go on to extra innings, movies I have seen before, sitcoms I loathe, or your next binge-watching Netflix event. Think of it – a TV companion who wouldn’t want to change the channel, share the popcorn, turn the volume up, or talk. A sharp elbow to the ribs, and I would immediately leave, after handing you a very reasonable invoice. Have a new puppy who whines all night, even with a ticking clock and an electric blanket? GSC ™ is the ideal choice. Get your much-needed rest as puppy cuddles next to a certified snoring companion. Awkwardly uneven wedding guests? Bride has 100, groom only 45? Order the group package and intersperse our gently snoring seat-holders among invited guests on the half-empty side of the church. Ideal wedding guests, your snorers will arrive on time, wake up for any group pictures and then leave, having neither eaten nor drank any of the free refreshments. Heck, they don’t need an expensive invitation or slice of wedding cake, nor will they have any expectation you will know who on
W H AT ?
CHARLYNN TOEWS
Gently snoring Charsy earth they are. Don’t like driving late at night on your own? Prop up your snore-pal in the passenger seat and feel more secure. We have personnel who have relatives they want to visit in every town from Masset to Prince George, so no worries about an extra hotel room or return-trip fees. Friends don’t mind feeding your cat or bringing in the mail while you are away, but tend to leave your house empty during the most vulnerable time of day: at night. For a small surcharge, we will provide you with a Really Loud Snorer, to keep those break-andenter types from going into a house that vibrates like a giant dragon is in residence. And unlike your typical house sitter, our RLS ™ will not use your stuff, look in your medicine cabinet, or even sleep in your bed! NO, our personnel pack their own bedding and inflatable mattress, which they set up just inside your back door. Imagine coming
back relaxed and refreshed from a long vacation. When your friends comment you look younger or thinner or even taller, you can say, “Thanks to RLS ™, I had a carefree holiday!” Now, some people may say, “Why don’t I hire RLS ™ for one night, record the snoring, and play the recording on subsequent nights at enormous savings?” Let me assure you, extensive studies show that nothing beats LIVE snoring to keep the baddies away. A snorer-on-a-loop sounds fake, no doubt about it. Imagine the recording fails due to a power outage, and you have no snoring at all! So much for your carefree holiday. Our policy does not allow the use of our snoring professionals, loud or gentle, to attend any of the following events: 1. Your political opponent’s speech or ribbon cutting 2. A lecture given by an instructor you consider dull 3. Any drama, music, or other cultural event – this includes Grade Five Band performances 4. City Council meetings, Regional District meetings, School Board meetings If in doubt, please consult one of Snorer Placement Officers. They have our Policies and Procedures Book available online or via email as a pdf. A leather-bound hardcover can be delivered to your door for a Shipping and Handling fee of three easy payments of $29.99. The P&P book has been developed with strictest attention to detail, with every possible snoring scenario described, including suggested snacks for watching blood-bathed Dexter episodes with a soothingly snoozing companion. It was exhausting! I hope I get a gig soon – I could use a nap.

From front
Power line construction to stabilize the economy The list of companies seeking to tie into the line includes Seabridge Gold which just last month received provincial environmental approval for its KSM gold and copper mine project. Pernarowski did recall the time in late 2007 when the province halted planning and environmental work for the line after mining company NovaGold, which was to be a financial contributor to the line, stopped work on its Galore Creek copper mine after construction costs rose. That prompted the creation of a coalition of local governments, First
Nations, businesses and like-minded individuals to at least press for the completion of the line’s environmental work. “A delegation of Terrace residents, businesses and others, drove to the Smithers airport so we could have a meeting with [then-provincial finance minister] Colin Hansen,” said Pernarowski of a group which later became known as the Highway 37 Power Line Coalition. “We had about 40 minutes before his flight to speak to him,” he said of the start of a campaign which eventually lead to the line being revived.
“We were able to make a very strong effort,” Pernarowski added of the coalition. The province subsequently warmed up to the power line, a circumstance aided by the announcement in the fall of 2009 that the federal government would provide a $130 million grant to help finance construction. That money came with a commitment by BC Hydro to also extend power to several communities who had been relying on diesel generators. That extension work to run a smaller line into the Iskut area is next on BC Hydro’s ‘to-do’ list.
Following the unveiling of the plaque, a luncheon attended by more than 80 people was held at the Skeena Golf and Country Club. The Northwest Transmission Line is made up of 1,092 tower structures. Valard Construction, based in Edmonton and owned by Quanta Services of Texas, and the engineering firm of Burns & McDonnell were awarded the construction contract in 2011. Valard will be keeping a small office in the city in anticipation of further power line work stemming from other industrial projects.
Permit lack Litre delays hotel Sale On Now
OUR FAMOUS
PRELIMINARY WORK started on a hotel project in late spring has since halted because not all of the permits were granted. The Sunshine Inn Executive Suites development, which will front on Hwy16 right beside Kalum Tire is to be five storeys tall and have 100 units and the top floor is to contain condo-style residences. “Work started before a building permit was obtained,” a statement from a city hall official indicated last week. But Alisa Thompson now says revised drawings were received and that crews should start soon on installing water, sanitary and storm services. That work will take place on the back end of the property which borders Lazelle Ave. just past the Terrace Bowling Alley. “We anticipate the permit and foundation construction should start soon now,” said Thompson. Also needed for the final building permit is for the development owner to get homeowner warranty registration for the 13 strata condo units. The Sunshine Inn Executive Suites developer is Kim Tran from Smithers who has locations in Smithers, Houston and Burns Lake. The building will be wood-framed and could very well be the tallest structure of its kind to be built here. The provincial building code was changed in 2009 to allow wooden structures to be six storeys tall. Tran purchased the property in early 2013 and has been working on the plans since.

Fire consumes residences THE TERRACE fire investigator and Terrace RCMP were unable to determine the cause of a suspicious fire that left three families homeless in the early morning of Aug. 5 at Skeena Kalum Housing on Haugland Ave. “All I can add is that we are able to say that the fire started in the carport of one of the units where a couch was being temporarily stored. The investigation is continuing and police are unable to determine the cause of the fire at this time,” said North District RCMP media relations Cpl. Dave Tyreman Aug. 7. Three families lost their homes and belongings and the rest of the 38 people living in the 16 units had to move out as the power was shut off. Emergency services housed the three families for three days. Shortly after midnight, Aug. 5, WARM 20 Terrace and Thornhill firefighters arrived to find three units of a 16 unit complex fully engulfed in flames with a big ball of flames shooting out the front ofDisplacement the building,

Group blocks access to mine road A GROUP made up of members of the Tahltan Nation and others set up a blockade Aug. 8 on the access road leading to a copper mine being developed by Imperial Metals, saying it is in response to the massive break in the tailings pond at the Mount Polley copper mine in the Cariboo which is also owned by the company. The group known as the Klabona Keepers said it had “serious concerns” about the Red Chris mine, a $500 million development on Tahltan traditional territory which is due to begin processing ore later this year. The Klabona Keepers first came to light the middle of the last decade when it erected several blockades to prevent Shell from exploring the Klappan area for coalbed methane and to prevent Fortune Minerals from gaining access to anthracite coal deposits in the area, also known as the Sacred Headwaters. That area has cultural and environmental significance to the Tahltan. The access road leads off of Hwy37 North to the mine site which is approximately 80 kilometres south of Dease Lake. Before the blockade was announced and after the Mount Polley tailings pond collapse, the president of the Tahltan Central Council said it had its own worries about the Red Chris development which has received provincial and federal environmental approval. The council has “new questions and concerns that we must discuss with Imperial Metals about the tailings ponds at Red Chris,” said Chad Day. While the Tahltan have negotiated impact benefits and other agreements with other companies on Tahltan traditional territory, a list that includes runof-river projects on the Iskut River owned by AltaGas of Calgary, it has yet to sign any such agreements with Imperial Metals concerning Red Chris. But the Tahltan Central Council and Imperial Metals continue negotiations for those agreements. Imperial has been
hiring Tahltan workers and Tahltan companies to work at the mine. Going into last weekend, Day said the central council had been speaking with the Klabona Keepers. “The Tahltan Cen-
tral Council has not endorsed the actions taken by the Klabona Keepers, but they remain committed to consultation with the group, which is composed of various local members from the Tahltan Na-
tion,” said the release. “...We share their concerns in protecting the Tahltan environment, culture and our local communities into the future. We are and will continue to do everything in our power to
make sure the Tahltan Nation avoids serious environmental issues at the Red Chris mine,” said Day. Day added that the central council has also been in contact with Imperial Metals but un-
derstands that the company’s “priorities at the moment must lie with the situation at Mount Polley. “We are following progress there closely and our hearts remain with the people affected
by the disaster,” said Day. Water testing in the area of the Mount Polley mine continues as officials determine the extent of the damage caused by the tailings pond failure.

Land dispute cools off for now By ANNA KILLEN KITSELAS FIRST Nation chief Joe Bevan says his door is open to the Gitxsan First Nation if it wants to discuss overlapping territorial land claims. The conflicting claims to territory east of Terrace are at the heart of a dispute that nearly boiled over last week between the Gitxsan Treaty Society and the federal and provincial governments. “We’re true to our lands, we know where our territory is, our traditional land, and we’ve been using it for thousands of years. Our door is open for the Gitxsan to come in and have an open and frank discussion,” said Bevan last week. “It’s quite unfortunate that the Gitxsan have taken the role that they have and this type of route, that’s not the way we operate but that’s what they’ve chosen to do.” The Gitxsan Treaty Society, which represents a group of hereditary chiefs, began enforcing what it termed as eviction notices issued to CN Rail, sport fishermen, LNG pipeline companies and other industrial concerns in its 33,000 square kilometre territory Aug. 4. The notices were issued mid-July following a Supreme Court of Canada decision which upheld First Nations
title rights and stated aboriginal consent was needed for development. The Gitxsan say that, in treaty negotiations with the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum First Nations, the provincial and federal governments offered traditional Gitxsan land to the two Tsimshian First Nations which were subsequently accepted in respective treaty agreements in principle. Gitxsan officials say they opposed the agreements when they first became aware of them and have called for them to be rescinded since 2012. The Gitxsan followed up on their notices by sending out a release Aug. 5 saying a blockade of CN’s rail line would begin at 10 p.m. The next day, CN Rail issued a statement saying no trains had been blocked and it was “business as usual” for the railroad. But, it was later revealed CN had been granted an injunction from the B.C. Supreme Court ordering anyone who blockades the mainline to stop. Meetings between the Gitxsan Treaty Society and federal and provincial representatives stalled early last week but by Aug. 8, the group said any blockade plan was put on hold until Aug. 25 “pending critical discussions be-
tween Crown, Kitselas and Kitsumkalum that may amend their agreements in principle.” The Kitselas and the Kitsumkalum approved their respective agreements in principle in separate votes more than a year ago and have been working on final treaty details since. Bevan said Kitselas and the Gitxsan have never had in-depth discussions between each other about the disputed area, which is in the general vicinity of Legate Creek. “We’ve always been open to have a discussion,” he said, noting that at one point a plan
to share maps and information didn’t pan out. “I really hope they take that opportunity because I’d like to sit down and negotiate something with them. If not, it’s going to be a mediated, potentially government-run process.” Speaking last week, Gitxsan Treaty Society negotiator Beverly Clifton Percival said the Gitxsan’s issue was with the government, not the Tsimshian. The Gitxsan have also targeted proposed natural gas pipelines in an effort to have the province listen to their land ownership message.

School workers ink a new deal
NEARLY 450 unionized Coast Mountains School District employees have ratified a new contract, one of a series of deals that have been signed between school districts and their non-teaching staff around the province. The deal provides maintenance, custodial, information technology, educational assistants, First Nations support workers, clerical staff, rehab workers and other non-teaching employees a wage increase of 5.5 per cent over five years, says school superintendent Katherine McIntosh. “That means an increase from $1 an hour to $1.55 an hour by the time the five years is up,” she said adding the amount of the increase will depend upon an employee’s current wage. Non-teaching unionized employees in this school district are represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees. The increase falls in line with what the province calls its “economic stability mandate” which seeks to hold the line generally on wage increase costs. Employees can receive more money based on growth of the provincial economy. The Coast Mountains agreement is one of five recently ratified between school districts and their non-teaching employees. The term of the new agreement will be in place effective immediately and it will expire on June 30, 2019. One sweetener calls for school districts to pay each employee for all scheduled hours not worked because of the on-going BC Teachers’ Federation strike against school districts. Unionized non-teaching workers did not cross picket lines set up by striking teachers. In the meantime, negotiators for the B.C. Teachers Federation and school districts resumed talks Aug. 8 aimed at securing a new contract and ending the strike which disrupted the last weeks of the 2013-2014 school year.

Neil “Buster� Patterson passed, Aug 4, 2014, at 81 years of age. Pre-deceased by his son Glen, he is survived by loving partner Linda Kawinsky, daughter, Lynn Patterson granddaughters Devon and Shelby Foote, great great-granddaughters Abi and Anna, sister Marion Ryan of Langley, John and Jean Patterson of Slocan, and Bob Patterson of Nakusp. Buster and family moved from Nakusp to Terrace in 1969, and it became his home forever. Employed by Canadian Cellulose and its future company changes. Buster supervised some 1,100Km of roads from Hazelton, through the Cranberry Junction and down towards Kitimat. He was responsible for the maintenance of bridges and roads. He was born in Fort St. John, to parents Neil and Hazel Patterson. The Patterson’s were a family of 12 children. His father Neil was a settler in the Woodcock area during the 1920s for a period, and the family eventually settled in the Arrow Lakes district. He told us, through the generosity of his siblings, many having entered the army, that the younger children afforded some of life’s comforts. He was always a generous person to his family. Buster spent a very important part of his youth in the army, achieving the rank of Trooper, Honourably Released in 1959. He attended Fort Knox for instruction of “Armor Track Vehicle Maintenance�. He achieved the highest mark in the then 13 year history of the course. He would later use those skills maintaining the equipment at the Skeena Valley Golf Course. There were a few places where Buster frequented. The Royal Canadian Legion for “pool and meat draw�, the Happy Gang Centre for billiards in the basement and the “full meal deal� lunch on Fridays, always opting for the beef barley soup, and Tuesdays at BPs for pasta night. Buster was, if anything, a person who enjoyed his routine. His greatest love was golf. Buster loved it so much he took a job maintaining the Skeena Valley Golf Course. Particular in his work ethic and instruction, he was always happy to get up at 4am to water the tees and greens. We will think of him as “gone golfing�. Thank you to Dr. Strydom, Darcy, and the compassionate staff of Mills Memorial, and Prince George hospitals. All family and friends are invited to attend the Terrace Legion - Legion Tribute Aug. 14th, at 5:00 pm and a Celebration of Life at the Skeena Valley Golf & Country Club Sept. 12 at 5:00pm. The family would like anyone wishing to golf to book a tee time, in memory of Buster. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to a charity of your choice.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
District of Stewart | Flood & High Groundwater Mitigation Plan BACKGROUND Stewart’s precarious location next to the Bear River has exposed the community to increasing levels of flood risk and is drowning local utilities. The impacts of the 2011 major flood event still resonate with the community and the high-energy river is building itself up at a rapid rate. A dyke currently protects the community and ongoing efforts to dredge sections of the river have been undertaken to counteract the rapidly aggrading river bed. However, the ability of the dyke to withstand future high-water events is in question while the impact of dredging efforts is unknown. Further, due to the nature of the permeable gravel soils the town is built upon, the rising riverbed levels have caused nearby groundwater levels in the town to rise. The rising groundwater table is burying utilities, flooding basements and making infrastructure improvements cost prohibitive. The District of Stewart will receive financial support from the UBCM-federal Gas Tax Capacity Building Program to develop a Flood & High Groundwater Mitigation Plan to investigate options to address the increasing flood threat and negative impacts on local infrastructure. Ultimately, the rapidly aggrading Bear River poses a significant flood threat jeopardizing the safety of the Stewart community and this study will enable the District to grapple with the implications of its proximity to such an active waterway. SCOPE OF WORK The District is seeking proposals from qualified consulting teams to undertake a Flood and High Groundwater Mitigation Plan. Please refer to the PROJECT OVERVIEW and Gas Tax grant application below for a thorough overview of the key issues and proposed solutions. The objective of the project will be to conduct the required assessments and engineering analysis to develop a plan to address the increasing flood threat and negative impacts on local infrastructure from the high groundwater table due to the aggradation of the Bear River. The main objective of the project will be to develop a plan that identifies options and the necessary actions required to mitigate the flood threat posed by Bear River and lower groundwater levels by halting or reversing River aggradation (or alternate engineered means). In addition to a hydro-technical study component to assess the Bear River’s hydrology and flood profile, the project will focus on flood mitigation options. A review of dyke upgrades and the effectiveness of gravel management will be key components of the investigation. Yet the main goal is to look for more effective alternatives, particularly at processes going on at the mouth of the river and options to restore the river’s natural flow patterns. The project will seek innovative solutions to reduce the impact on the environment and the economy, while balancing the need to mitigate river aggradation. Project Deliverables: • Re-assess the river’s hydrologic regime and flood profiles (last assessed in 1999, recommended every 5 years) • Review of gravel deposition/geomorphologic regime since 1999 • Geotechnical analysis to characterize existing dike condition at key locations, and review and establish design criteria for dike upgrades • Review gravel management efforts and recommend target thresholds for gravel removal • Assess interaction between rising river levels and groundwater levels & recommend options to mitigate high groundwater levels • Explore options to manage sedimentation processes to encourage deposition over a broader portion of the delta, including restoring the natural flow patterns of the Bear River, and provide a recommended course of action and conceptual design • Review community development patterns and suggest recommendations for flood-proofing new developments • Outline costs and logistics to implement recommendations • Suggest project phasing and implementation options • Preparation and presentation of Flood & High Groundwater Management Plan Mitigation options should be emphasized while the hydro-technical component should play a lesser role in the study. A review of dyke upgrades and the effectiveness of gravel management (compared with the high costs of extraction) will be key components of the investigation. Yet the main goal is to look for more effective alternatives, particularly at processes going on at the mouth of the river, including breaching the Arrow causeway, re-aligning the main channel to distribute the river’s outflow over a wider area, or other options that balance flood protection with the commercial uses of the port area. BUDGET The District has approximately $250,000 for the project. Funding is being generously provided through a UBCM-Federal Gas Tax initiative Capacity Building grant. SUPPORTING MATERIALS - Project Overview: Flood & High Groundwater Mitigation Plan - UBCM-Federal Gas Tax Capacity Building grant application - Hay & Company, Bear River Estuary Hydrology & Geomorphology, Ministry of Lands, Parks and Housing, 1986 - Lauga & Associates, Master Plan for Port Development in Stewart, 2008 - McElhanney Consulting Ltd. District of Stewart Stormwater Management Plan, 2011 - Golder Associates, Gravel Aggradation and Dyke Freeboard Assessment for Stewart BC, 2000 TIMELINE There is flexibility in the project schedule. The District would prefer to allow time for effective investigation and analysis over a period of time as opposed to an intensive time-constrained process. A general schedule would be to start following a successful award of contract in the fall and wrap up by the following winter (December 2015). AWARD Proposals will be evaluated based on the consulting team’s experience with other significant hydrological engineering projects, their value for money and the quality of the proposal, specifically around solutions to address the flood and high groundwater issues faced by the District. SUBMISSION DEADLINE Questions can be directed to, and submissions should reach, the undersigned contact by no later than 4:30pm PST September 22, 2014.

An Escalade worth the wait Cadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville. This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious hotels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray. Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at Toronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton.

Forest fire conditions in this province are at an all-time high and the wood is very dry. The men and women that fight these fires every year rely on their vehicles to take them to the battlefield. Remote back roads and sometimes the forest floor are the roads on which they must travel. There is a variety of vehicles in the firefighter fleet but lately they have been using the Ford Super-Duty as the prime support vehicle.
