Steroid use added to suit against officer By MARGARET SPEIRS
TYLER DUNCAN PHOTO
■■ Ready on the rope THE BANDSTRA Big Boys are ready to pull at the fourth annual Terrace Fire Truck Pull fundraiser put on by the United Way along Emerson St. Sept. 27. Eight teams competed for bragging rights of heaving the fire engine down the street and across the finish line in the fastest time. Terrace firefighters unseated the three-time champions Acklands-Grainger with time of 14.72 seconds on their second of two pulls. And that was without gloves which were offered to every team. Total amount of money raised was $4,143 and two teams tied for raising the most with $1,000 each: Acklands-Grainger and Finning Terrace. Northern Health was named Most Spirited/Best Costumed team for their cowboy attire.
ALLEGATIONS OF steroid use are now a factor in a civil suit filed by a woman who says a former Terrace RCMP officer assaulted her husband to the point it left him with a permanent brain injury two years ago. In a civil suit filed January 17, 2014, Heather Prisk said RCMP Const. Brian Heideman assaulted her husband Robert Wright at the RCMP detachment after he was arrested April 21, 2012 for impaired driving, resulting in her husband suffering brain damage to the point that he now requires full-time care. The civil case, amended Sept. 22, 2014, now alleges under the legal basis for the case, that Heideman was ingesting steroids “which caused him to be unduly aggressive and violent with the plaintiff....” The civil suit states Wright was taken by Heideman and two other officers into a cell, where he was told to kneel on a concrete bench above the floor and, while kneeling on the bench in an uncomfortable position, Wright tried to reposition his legs at which point Heideman “violently, unexpectedly and negligently threw the plaintiff (Wright) to the ground, causing the plaintiff’s head to sustain injuries, the most significant of which was a traumatic brain injury and thereafter dragging the plaintiff across the cell floor while unconscious and kneeling on his backside,” read the civil case. “The incident resulted in the plaintiff being assaulted, battered and/or negligently injured by the defendant Heideman who used excessive and negligent amounts of force when dealing with the plaintiff....” continued the civil case. Heideman and two other officers, all of whom have since been transferred, were reprimanded and docked eight days pay by a RCMP disciplinary board for involvement with steroids. The disciplinary report, released this past July, said that from March 27, 2008 to May 30, 2012, Heideman worked out at a local gym along with other RCMP officers and had discussed with a former officer, who subsequently resigned from the force, the possibility of using steroids as part of his
fitness regime. During that time, Heideman had ordered and received steroids which he “had intended to utilize for his own personal consumption...” and each time he “was aware that the steroids he obtained were substances listed under...the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act,” said the disciplinary report. The possession of steroids is not illegal but it is illegal to traffic steroids, said the report. And Terrace RCMP inspector Dana Hart, who has been the officer in charge of the detachment here since Aug. 15, 2011, has also been added in the suit’s amended information. The document now includes under its statement of facts that “Inspector Dana Hart was at all material times the most senior officer responsible for the Terrace RCMP detachment.” It also states that the “actions of Hart constitute negligence, the particulars of which are failing to suspend, discipline or take remedial action against Heideman when Hart knew or should [have] known that Heideman was predisposed to act violently towards people ....”

Teen dies in car accident THE BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of the one person who died following a two-vehicle collision Sept. 25 east of Terrace on Hwy16. She is Mercedes Tatiana McNeil, aged 18, of Terrace. McNeil was the driver of a westbound Ford Focus minivan which was involved in a headon collision with a Ford pickup truck about 23 km east of the intersection of Highways 16 and 37 in the late morning hours of that day. The BC Coroners Service and RCMP Traffic Services continue to investigate this death. McNeil was the only person in the vehicle. The only two people in the pickup suffered minor injuries and were taken to hospital. Their vehicle was engulfed in flames by the time Terrace and Thornhill firefighters arrived. The highway was closed in both directions for approximately six hours.

A TERRACE teen was killed in a two-car collision on Hwy16 east of Terrace on Sept. 25. Two other people were injured and taken to hospital. A police accident reconstruction expert was at the scene of the accident as part of the investigation to determine its cause. Thornhill fire chief Wes Patterson said nine firefighters from his department went to the accident. First reports were that the accident was within the Thornhill fire department’s ser-

vice area when but the firefighters arrived, they discovered it was actually outside of the service area. Patterson decided to respond as he could see that the crash was only about a half kilometre outside the boundary line. “The fact that the call came in and it was a bad accident and the potential was there for
entrapment [of a motorist in a vehicle] was the reason I made the call to go outside of our boundary.” “It doesn’t happen very often,” he said about getting called out beyond the Thornhill fire department service boundary. Terrace firefighters were also on hand to assist with the truck fire. Because of the lo-
cation of the accident there was no readily available detour. Some motorists on either side of the accident did use the Cranberry Connector, an unmaintained road that connects the Nass Valley north of Terrace eastward to the Cranberry Junction on Hwy37 North. That highway then joins Hwy16 at Kitwanga.

20 10 THE KERBY family property on the Bench overlooking the city has been sold.
Bench property sold
THE LAST remaining large, open piece of property on the part of the bench with an open view of the Skeena Valley was sold recently to a numbered Vancouver development company. A home located on the 3725 Thomas St. property, which overlooks the road climbing up Lanfear Hill was built by Mamie and Fred Kerby in 1957. “It was over 5.2 acres of private view property, so the house may be taken down,” said family friend and real-
tor Rusty Ljungh who was the listing agent. She said the selling price for the land wasn’t far off of the $1.5 million asking price. “It was valuable to the family and it was built by the family in 1957, and the Kerby family are very honoured people,” said Ljungh. The family is known for its contributions to the community, including donating land to the city and part of the group which founded Heritage Park.

The property used to contain a hobby farm. Increased economic activity in the region has increased the need for new housing and several subdivisions have been or are being developed. According to the city, this land is to be rezoned to R1 residential from its AR2 agricultural designation. “It will be up to the owner to determine if they want to apply for rezoning in future,” said city spokesperson Alisa Thompson.

Raucous times Terrace, B.C. used to be a wild place to spend the weekend
By ANNA KILLEN
B
rowsing through the archives of old Terrace newspapers, it’s striking how many of the stories placed on the pages of the past resemble those on our pages today. Names and faces are familiar, if one or two generations or a swatch of grey hair, behind. Pipelines and pellet plants are proposed, conservationists call for stricter regulations, recycling programs and community plans for Thornhill are detailed. The experience drives home the sense that the growth – and subsequent worries about that growth – Terrace is facing today is something not new at all, actually, but something that this town has been through once, twice, three times before. To use a cliché, the more things change, the more they stay the same, right? But mixed amongst those news stories is something quite dated – boxy advertisements promising a varied night out on the town: cabarets, discos, travelling shows, a working man’s watering hole for nearly every night of the week. With many of these places within a few walking blocks of each other, a picture begins to emerge of a Terrace with a bustling nightlife scene in both the downtown core and beyond – something that, it’s safe to say, isn’t necessarily the same today as it was then. Back in the early ’70s and for the better part of the next couple of decades, the Terrace Hotel and the Lakelse Hotel, now the Best Western and the Inn of the West, offered a torrent of ever-evolving establishments – places like the Red D’or, Augie’s Lounge, the El Toro Room, Hanky Panky’s, and the bar in the Terrace Hotel, commonly referred to as “the Zoo.” Jezebel’s Cabaret, which was located across from Speedee Printers, was the epitome of ’80s flash style and the faithful Terrace Legion used to have a dress code beginning at 5 p.m. The Skeena Hotel, which burned down in 2008, kept the bar warm for the workingman, and if you wanted to hear country music, the just-opened Northern out near Thornhill was the best bet. Terrace even had a disco – Mozart’s Boogie Parlour, now the Back Eddy, enjoyed a few years of fame until disco inevitably went out of style. More relaxed liquor laws and a transient population of workers with money to burn in town contributed to a looser nighttime vibe, nights that often ended with the bar crowd parked at the various latenight drive-ins around town. “It was quite a neat little atmosphere that we had going here,” reflects JP Dodd, on the phone from Thornhill. Dodd worked as a doorman and manager for years, begin-
ning at the Lakelse Hotel in the early ’70s. “It was pretty active.” He and his crew were “in pretty high demand” back in the day, and moved between establishments trying to keep the peace. “We weren't too brutal with people, we talked to people and they just knew not to bugger around in those places,” he said. “If you did, you knew you were going to be turfed.” And they were rewarded handsomely for their efforts. “We had regular jobs throughout the day and you were getting $3, $4 an hour. But there (at the Lakelse Hotel), they were offering us $25 bucks an hour – that's really high for those days, that was in the early ’70s,” he said. “You had to put your ass on the line sort of a thing. If there were guys fighting, you had to go break it up. And usually if some of the guys went in there and started breaking things up, next thing you know you were in the middle of a fight. That's just the way it was in those days.” And while bar brawls were more common – one person I spoke with detailed an unsavory street fight between rival Prince Rupert, Terrace, and Kitimat groups. Who won? “No one, the police won, they always did.” – patrons were also held to a higher standard. “The cabarets usually had a dress code, if you went down there in really dirty clothes and that sort of a thing you didn't get in,” said Dodd. “I can remember we had a group of tree planters come in and they were just absolutely filthy, we just stopped them right at the door and said no.” Same with the carnival workers. “The circus people, when they used to come up with all the rides and that, they used to try to come in and they'd just be filthy and we just wouldn't let 'em in … they were all ticked off when we wouldn't let them in but we said you're not sitting down with your greasy pants and getting our furniture dirty.” But it wasn’t just the laymen who got a hard time from the doormen. “We used to keep a tight rein,” he said. “It was really funny because we didn't let the RCMP come in without paying. They were ticked off at that. You want to come in and see the people? OK, two bucks.” During an interview at Xander’s
coffee shop on Lakelse Ave., the former site of one of the many establishments she worked at off and on beginning in the late ’70s, Mavis Hamilton remembers a doorman at Jezebel’s cabaret, which she managed for a time and Dodd also helped run, who had a unique way of keeping the atmosphere classy. “He’d show up to work in this beautiful three-piece suit,” she said. “He was a hoot... Just the fact that he showed up in a three-piece suit stopped a lot of aggression, that and the fact that the staff was dressed – and it wasn’t a uniform, it was dressed – and it was a cabaret of the ’80s.” Cabarets and lounges were different from bars and beer parlours, both in the eyes of the law and in atmosphere. “It was different than going to the bar, going to the bar was just going to the bar. Going to the cabaret was, you dressed up to go. Even the people that came on the weeknights dressed up,” said Hamilton. Jezebel’s was “the place to be” when its proprietor, Manuel DaSilva, first opened it up, she said. “He went all over the world and checked out everything he liked and brought that back to the cabaret.” To understand what the scene was like, Hamilton says it’s important to keep in mind that money was different back then.
“ Yo u could get a lot more for your money. When I started working in bars in 1979, the price for a draft beer had just gone up to 25 cents. And people were complaining that you could only get four for a dollar instead of five. It was completely and totally different. The price of a highball was a dollar fifty. They were making a lot more money, your money went a lot farther.” Where’d all that money come from? “There was at least 25 logging companies going, Alcan and Eurocan were going full time in Kitimat, Rupert was going crazy, the whole area there was a lot going on – you could feel the energy in the air – but it was seasonal, everything was seasonal, right? So you have people going great guns for four or five months of the year and then needing to find something to do for the rest of the time,” she said. A number of factors contributed to the end of Terrace’s nightlife heyday – a slowing economy, in-
creased liquor prices, a shift in the drinking culture. And while the economy is no longer slow, it seems unlikely to Hamilton things would go back to the way they once were. “People’s attitudes about alcohol have changed, the laws about alcohol have changed, the people that are made responsible for people drinking have changed. I can’t see anywhere in the world going back to that kind of thing because the servers and bartenders are being held responsible,” said Hamilton. “The emphasis has gone from the person who is doing the imbibing to the person is serving.” People’s tastes change, too. “People do things at home now that they would’ve done elsewhere,” she said. “One of the draws at Jezebel’s was that we had Frogger, we had Asteroids, we had all of these gaming tables...” But for those nostalgic for the old days, when the drinks and patrons of Terrace ran nearly free, here’s a tip: when Jezebel’s closed, its bar and furniture went to spruce up the Terrace Legion, one of the few spots in town that still operates today as it did then.

EDITORIAL
What now? WHAT seemed like an endless summer for parents, guardians and students ended Sept. 29 when public schools once again opened following the longest teacher strike and lock out in the province’s history. But to simply issue a huge collective sigh of relief and go back to business as normal would be wrong. Approximately 500,000 students missed, to varying degrees, two weeks of school in June and three in September and to park that on the shelf poses significant questions. The first of which is obvious – if the public education system, we’re told, can absorb the loss of five weeks of school then why are those weeks part of the school calendar in the first place? If there’s something that can be more productively done with public monies for public education, what might that be? Just as crucial is one of the outcomes of the teachers’ settlement – an increase in the amount of money the province is to put into the system to hire more teachers and provide more help for students. As anyone who has ever worked for a large organization knows, it’s fine to announce a large amount of money will be spent on something but often it’s another thing altogether when it comes to actually putting boots on the ground. What’s needed here is a reporting system that will outline how many teachers and aides were hired, where they are teaching and, eventually, the educational outcome. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Can something really be private?
oday’s novelists promote sales of their books through interviews, websites, and giving readings in libraries or at writers’ conferences. In 1960 novelist Nelle Harper Lee published her first and only novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird”, and promptly dropped out of sight. Yet 32 million copies of her book have been sold during the intervening 56 years. At an estimated 10 cents royalty per book that totals well over $3 million. A tidy lifetime income from a single book written by a BOAC reservations clerk living in New York City. Harper Lee never wrote a second book. Her explanation: She had said everything she had to say. But “To Kill A Mockingbird” made her famous, comfortably well off, and a mystery that lured tourists, readers, and reporters to her little Alabama home town for the rest of her life. She was named Harper after Dr. Harper, a small town physician who accurately diagnosed the condition preventing a family baby from thriving. Once fed the prop-

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI er food, the baby did well. Out of appreciation for the doctor’s help, Harper was named after the doctor. As an author the name served her well since it didn’t disclose whether she was male or female. In 2001, Marja Mills, a reporter working for the Chicago Tribune, was assigned by her editor to visit Harper Lee’s home town and seek an interview with Lee as part of the newspaper’s celebration of One Book, One Chicago, a public library project to encourage citizens to read and talk about a single book. Mills managed what so many other reporters had
failed to do – gain the trust of Harper Lee and her older sister Alice, a practising attorney, so that she was granted far more than a mere interview. Harper Lee introduced Mills to at least six of her closest friends and urged Mills to interview them. They, too, became everyday visitors in Mills’ life during the next 15 months as Mills rented the house next door to the Lees. The two sisters lived together in the family home. Mills and the sisters shared meals at various eateries – Harper was fond of McDonald’s coffee – drove through the countryside visiting Harper’s favourite recreational spots including the lake where she liked to fish, and often invited along one or more of Lee’s closest friends. They met at each others’ houses, and as a group attended movies and small town events. Mills had been available for the extended stay in Alabama because she was on sick leave with a debilitating condition diagnosed as lupus that often left her too fatigued to work or even

crawl out of bed. This inertia slowed her progress writing the book, “The Mockingbird Next Door”. Mills’ book was published July 15, 2014 and within minutes Harper Lee wrote to the publisher claiming she had never given permission for Mills to publish intimate details of her life, though the sisters had cooperated in making such stories known to Mills, and had to know Mills was planning to write a book. Having read Mills’ book, and her loving portrait of Harper and Alice Lee, it’s my guess Harper Lee, who has been living in an assisted care home since a stroke in 2007, no longer has as clear and sharp a mind as before. Even her sister Alice confirms Mills had Harper’s permission to publish the book . A close Lee friend who often went along fishing agrees. Publication of Lee’s complaint to the publisher has set off a controversy – did Mills have or not have Lee’s permission to publish a book about the author? Or is it another ploy by Harper Lee to stimulate interest in her only book and sell even more copies?

The Mail Bag Increase fish catch
FILE PHOTO
GORD SHABEN, shown here in this photo from the 2010 Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce Business Expo with a slogan building off of Hockeyville 2009, feels Terrace needs a new slogan encompassing its unique character.
Certainly naturally dynamic Dear Sir: Over the years, there have been many thoughts about Terrace’s identity. Slogans and taglines have abounded, mostly having to do with some specific feature ie: fish, bears and other natural assets. My thought is that we need a wider description of who we really are. We need to invoke a
question with our statement of what and who we are that will get people’s attention. In my 33 years living here, I have seen our community experience many changes in the industry here and related job opportunities that have come and gone with those changes. This community has always proven to be very dynamic in
its struggle for economic and social survival. Not only are we very entrepreneurial in business but very ingenious and energetic in our social endeavors as well. Take for instance winning the distinction of Hockeyville 2009 and Buying a Mountain to boot. Where am I going with this? A slogan of course.
Terrace – Naturally Dynamic. What do you think? Gord Shaben, Terrace, B.C. ***** Dear Sir: A slogan for Terrace? Pearl of the Northwest. Jaccques Charbonneau, Terrace, B.C.
Dear Sir: The Skeena fishing story is, unfortunately, a sad one again this year. This season, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) predicted the Skeena run size to be 2.64 million sockeye. They allowed the commercial fleet to catch 474,081 sockeye or 18 per cent of the run. The Babine spawning channels at the head of the Skeena system were fully loaded with 500,000 sockeye. An additional 300,000 wild Babine spawners are needed for a total required escapement of 800,000 sockeye into Babine Lake. When all the sockeye reach their spawning grounds this year, there will be around 1.9 million sockeye in the Babine Lake – about 1.1 million too many. These will be taken by the Lake Babine Nation in a commercial fishery because they are excess to spawning requirements. DFO’s own data show that 45 per cent is the optimal catch rate for the Babine wild stocks, which DFO says have conservation concerns. Our fleet’s catch rate for these stocks is consistently less than 20 per cent while the Lake Babine fishery takes from 20-30 percent of these same wild sockeye stocks that are excess to spawning requirements. If that fishery did not take place, the commercial fleet could double its harvest of sockeye – and Babine wild stocks would still be better off. A 40 per cent harvest would have given the commercial fleet a catch of 1 million sockeye instead of the 475,000 that DFO thought was enough. A 40 per cent harvest would have brought an extra $6 million to fishermen and doubled shoreworkers’ earnings. North coast communities would be a-buzz. A 40 per cent harvest would have met DFO’s allSkeena (not just Babine Lake) wild sockeye goal.

Cullen’s tanker bill mostly political posturing
L
ast Tuesday Skeena NDP MLA Nathan Cullen introduced his promised private members bill. As he explained in last week’s Terrace Standard story, his intent was to ban crude carrying supertankers from the waters of the North Coast of B.C., encourage the construction of oil refineries in Canada and give people a bigger say in whether major energy projects proceed. My curiosity was piqued by the fact he mentioned supertankers only. So would Afromax or Suezmax sized tankers be okay? I somehow doubted it so I made a point of reading both Cullen’s speech of introduction and the actual bill. In the former, there was Cullen again saying the bill included “a legislated ban of supertankers off of British Columbia’s north coast.” However, that is not an accurate characterization of his bill and it is not brand new legislation but rather seeks a number of amendments to existing legislation.
One of those is adding a subsection to Section 189 of the Canada Shipping Act of 2001 that states, “It is prohibited to transport oil in an oil tanker in the areas of the sea adjacent to the coast of Canada known as Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound.” Note it just says oil tanker, not supertanker. What is an oil tanker? It is “a vessel that is constructed or adapted primarily to transport oil in bulk.” And “in bulk” means “in a hold or tank that is part of the structure of a vessel...” So the bill basically bans any and all oil tankers in the prescribed areas, which is what Cullen’s intention was all along, as just about everyone and his dog knew full well. Fair enough, but it annoys me when politicians go with sexy – or in this case scary – language instead of language that, while it may be drier, is more accurate. Next, what exactly is oil? It has the same meaning, says the bill, as in Section 2 of the
GUEST COMMENT
MALCOLM BAXTER Canada Oil and Gas Operations Act. I checked out what that said and here is the definition of oil: “crude petroleum...and any other hydrocarbons except coal and gas, including hydrocarbons that may be extracted or recovered from...deposits of oil sand, bitumen, bituminous sand, oil shales and other types of deposits.” So all bases have been covered when it comes to blocking Enbridge’s Northern Gateway ex-
port proposal in its current form, which is fine by me. Which takes us to encouraging the construction of oil refineries here in Canada. I absolutely applaud that idea, in fact some months ago in this space I suggested the federal government, in the national interest, should reject any proposal that didn’t involve exporting refined products. However, the bill is a bit wishy washy in this area, proposing only an addition to the long list of things the National Energy Board must take into consideration, namely “the extent to which the pipeline is expected to have an impact on employment in upgraders, refineries and petrochemical complexes within Canada.” I am further confused by another proposed amendment to the Canada Shipping Act that states, “for further certainty, the prohibition in subsection (1) does not apply in respect of the transportation of gasoline, aviation fuel, diesel oil or fuel that is intended for use in coastal and island communities in Canada.”
What I do not understand is why that amendment does not include the words “or export of those materials.” Surely if you want to encourage refineries, you have to leave them an avenue through which to ship their product. If you don’t do that, it begins to look suspiciously like paying lip service to value added. And, dare I say it, early election campaign posturing. FOOTNOTE: Back to the LNG file, an official with the China National Offshore Oil Corporation last week sounded the warning I had been expecting. At the Canada LNG Export Conference and Exhibition in Calgary, Chen Wei Dong pulled no punches: “We are in a strong position with the Russian [pipeline] deal and that puts us in the driver’s seat while conducting price negotiations in Canada.” Not good news for LNG export proponents but I doubt they are surprised.

Trustees run again THE UPCOMING school trustee election is beginning to take shape with all but one of the current Coast Mountains School District board members declaring their intentions. In Terrace, current school board chair Art Erasmus confirmed last week that he will seek re-election this November. He had wanted to see how the labour dispute between the province and teachers’ union played out before deciding if he would run again. But with the dispute settled and students back in school this week, he said he be-
lieves he still has a role to play. The second Terrace trustee, board vice chair Roger Leclerc, indicated earlier in the school year that he would not be running again, noting a busy life schedule. And veteran trustee Gary Turner, representing Thornhill, confirmed last week that he will be running again. He said he “mulled it over both ways” but ultimately decided that there are “still things I think need to be done.” Kitimat trustee Linda Campbell will not be seeking re-election. “I feel blessed to have been part of this board for the past two years,”
she said at last month’s board meeting. “It’ll be hard to say goodbye.” Kitimat’s Raymond Raj, who has been a trustee for nine years, says he will be seeking re-election. He said he had been approached to run for Kitimat city council, but declined, citing the years of training he has received as part of the school board and that he doesn’t do it for money, he does it for his conscience. “Some use it (being a school trustee) as a stepping stone,” he said last night. “Not me.” Raj said it is good there is room for new faces on next year’s board and that at least
three trustees will be there for continuity – “as long as they get elected.” Hazelton trustee Lynn Newbery, a fixture of the education committee who is known for closing her trustee updates with what she calls “a few minutes for history” in which she details local history of the Hazeltons, will not be seeking re-election. She’s giving a talk tonight to encourage others to run for her spot, a post she is leaving “simply because of old age and winter driving.” As of late last week, Stewart trustee Shannon McFee has not yet declared her intentions.
The Mail Bag
An important appeal Dear Sir: A great deal is at stake regarding Rio Tinto Alcan’s proposed sulphur dioxide (S02) increase as part of its modernization of its Kitimat aluminum smelter. The company is proposing to increase its emissions from 27 tonnes per day to 42 tonnes per day, setting the stage for an entirely different level of livability in the TerraceKitimat corridor.
We are thankful Rio Tinto is modernizing and providing the area with steady employment. We are simply asking the company to do it right and install scrubbers to remove the SO2. If they fail to do this, given slated closures of older, outdated aluminum smelters in Quebec, Rio Tinto’s newly modernized Kitimat plant will become the highest SO2 emitting aluminum smelter in the country!

More fish
A 40 per cent harvest would have still permitted the Lake Babine First Nation a better commercial fishery than either the Tsimshian or the Gitxsan Nations. Why on earth does DFO maintain their grand experiment on the value of creating a huge Babine Lake fishery while bankrupting the marine fishery? Who knows? Meanwhile, the Terrace-based steelhead organization called SkeenaWild is holding a $40 per ticket auction fundraiser to “…stop proposed increases in commercial harvest rates.” SkeenaWild’s goal is to enlarge the steelhead sports industry and they do that by demanding the marine fleet reduce our harvests of sockeye – because of our small steelhead bycatch. What really appalls me is that SkeenaWild is so righteous about taking income (fish) from others using a factually wrong, but popular conservation line. Even the provincial minister responsible says that Skeena steelhead runs are at record levels and the issue is not one of conservation, but one of who gets what. In 2009, DFO cut our Skeena sockeye catches in half. It is time to stop the experiment and increase our catch rates to levels that make biological and financial sense. Joy Thorkelson, Northern Representative, UFAWU-Unifor, Prince Rupert, B.C.
I personally believe the public needs to know what is at stake. To date, the BC government and Rio Tinto Alcan have worked hard and have spent millions attempting to convince the public that this SO2 increase will not negatively affect our health or the environment. A more balanced picture that is concerned about the adverse effects of this increase and the precedent it sets, will only come out in events like the upcoming, protracted
Environmental Appeal Board hearing taking place in Victoria from October 6th through the October 17th and in Kitimat from October 20th through the October 31st. This appeal will not go unnoticed, for it is one of the most lengthy and complicated appeals in the history of the BC environmental appeal board. The rest of BC and Canada will notice and become informed. Charles Claus, Terrace, B.C.

Investors tour Kitsault mine site AVANTI MINING’S planned Kitsault molybdenum mine could be part of a northwest economic development loop, says its president. Speaking last week, Gordon Bogden says molybdenum, used as a steel strengthener, could end up in any number of pipelines being planned to carry natural gas across the northwest to super-cooling facilities on the coast. “Seventy per cent of molybdenum is used for steel alloys. Now wouldn’t that be a wonderful economic cycle,” said Bogden. Bogden’s comments are rooted in offtake agreements already signed between Avanti and steel manufacturers in Korea and Germany. Those offtake agreements are crucial to Avanti’s securing of up to $650 million in financing to complete the nearly $1 billion package needed by the company to begin construction of its mine at Kitsault on the north coast. The company has assembled a group of six international banks that would lend money based partially on those offtake agreements and is anticipating a final financing agreement as early as this month. A tour of the area and minesite two weeks ago by more than a dozen representatives from those banks and other
agencies was part of the effort to secure that final arrangement. “We’re not there yet, but we’re moving forward,” said Bogden of the final financing. Although the company received provincial environmental approval last year, it didn’t receive federal environmental approval until this year. It also signed an agreement with the Nisga’a Nation for the latter to receive economic benefits from the project. Kitsault is not within the core lands granted under the Nisga’a treaty but is within the surrounding area over which the Nisga’a have an influence on resource use and other decisions. “We wouldn’t be at this stage without that,” said Bogden of the Nisga’a deal. Avanti first flew the group from Vancouver to Terrace and then chartered four helicopters for the trip to Kitsault. A camp maintained during the exploration phase now holds nearly 70 people, a good number of whom are constructing an access road and clearing the area for accommodations for the planned 300-person workforce. Based on final financing the company wants to start construction as soon as weather permits next spring,
anticipating a two-year project. Following the minesite tour, the group then flew to Prince Rupert for an evening dinner and reception. Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin, whose riding takes in the Kitsault area, and who attended the dinner, said the group was impressed. Several Nisga’a representatives were also at the dinner, a sign of what the project means to Nass Valley residents, Austin added. “If this project goes ahead it will be the first major project since the [Nisga’a] treaty was signed,” he said. “A good number of those jobs will go to Nisga’a – well-paying private sector jobs.” Prince Rupert mayor Jack Mussallem, who provided a pep talk on economic activity in his city to the group, was pleased with one way the Avanti project could benefit Prince Rupert. And that’s to ship a portion of Kitsault moly concentrate to the company’s Korean steel making customer through port facilities at Prince Rupert. “Anything that adds to what is being shipped through the Fairview container port would be welcomed,” said Mussallem. The idea of shipping through Prince Rupert had been considered early on and then dis-

But now, said Avanti’s Bogden, the idea of using Prince Rupert for shipping to Korea is in discussion. “It’s certainly viable and we’re looking at that,” he said. The Korean offtake sales agreement is for 20 per cent of the mine’s production for 13 years.

Heritage tree project helps healthy living By JOSH MASSEY THE NEXT time you see a little shiny metal tag at the base of a downtown Terrace tree, take a look and you will see a number that shows you the tree is being tracked by the city. The Living Heritage Tree Project was spearheaded by the Terrace Downtown Improvement Area Society, which financed the project through a $12,000 grant from the cityowned Terrace Community Forest, along with the city and the Greater Terrace Beautification Society. The combined forces hired Westland Resources, which had an arborist go around the downtown core and record the species, size and quality of all significant trees located on both private and public land. “In total, they have documented 602 trees in a list which the city will use for managing the urban forest,” says Lori Merrill from the improvement area society. Merrill, who has lived in Terrace since
1979 and owns Sidewalkers clothing and shoe boutique, said that maintaining a healthy urban forest is something that a mindful community does, and that keeping track of trees becomes more urgent as more land gets developed. She said that the city’s policies for maintaining trees outlined in the community plan needs to be upheld. “We have had developments coming and trees have gone down. So we should have a full inventory of trees,” she said. Merrill says she has observed the ebbs and flows of development and how it can affect downtown green space. And she said over the years, people have become more mindful of the appearance of the downtown. “When you look after your trees and you care for your trees, that reflects a community that cares,” she said. “The inventory will be used so basically we can maintain and keep track of our trees.” This could lead to agencies recommend-

cost of the survey, she said. “I just know that with the official community plan there are certain guidelines that
developers have to follow, so now that we have this inventory, we are going to look at that and see if it’s up to snuff, to determine if
we are respecting our urban forests and keeping the trees that will never come back. “It’s going to help the city understand
more what they’ve got so it can help them with planning for trimming, planting,” said Merrill.

Large food donation aids food bank A ONE day food drive by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has resulted in 3,500 pounds of food being collected for the Terrace Churches Food Bank. Members of the congregation first went around to Terrace homes Sept. 13 dropping off empty plastic bags with a note explaining the food drive, telling residents that all they had to do was place some items in the bag provided and leave it outside for collection on Sept. 20. Church members and volunteers then revisited the homes on that Saturday, collecting what had been donated. Church leader Russ Smithanik says this is the fourth year the congregation has collected food in this fashion around Thanksgiving. “It’s a program of our church through B.C. and Alberta,” he said. “And I believe we’ll be doing this again next year.” Smithanik said the response of people was tremendous. “It just wouldn’t happen without the
people who participated,” he said of the quantity of donations received. In all, 49 volunteers were involved in the collection and 1,837 homes in Terrace were visited. Food bank volunteers spent the afternoon of Sept. 24 unpacking what was collected and organizing the donations for the first food bank distribution of the season. Food bank president John Wiebenga described the community response to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints food collection as “phenomenal.” “The food bank was just packed,” he said, about the donations dropped off at the food bank, which is the downstairs of the Dairy Queen building. And some people who missed the Sept. 20 collection day then left their donations in boxes provided at grocery stores here, Wiebenga added. The Terrace Churches Food Bank’s first monthly distribution of the fall and winter season is Oct. 6-9.

Heritage trees
When the project wraps up, the Terrace Economic Development Authority and other group members are planning to add a couple trees of their own. “The finale of the program is that we are going to plant two new trees,” said Merrill. “I saw heritage tree projects in other parts of Canada and it was always at the back of my mind so I brought it up with town meetings,” added Merrill. The presence of healthy urban forests has always been a sign of a healthy community. Studies done on patients in mental wards found that institutions that have trees around them have higher success rates in rehabilitating the mentally ill, for example.

THE DRIVER and passenger in this car were lucky to walk away with minor injuries on Sept. 21, say Terrace RCMP.
Accident injures two TWO PEOPLE walked away with only minor injuries from a motor vehicle crash that occurred in the middle of the day Sept. 21 on one of the Horseshoe area’s major streets, reported Terrace RCMP. The driver was, self admittedly, drunk, said police. Officers were called to the crash shortly after 3 p.m. in the
2600 block of Eby St. after a green 2003 Chevrolet Malibu lost control at high speeds, smashed into a parked truck, spun out of control, and came to rest in the driveway of a residence, said police. The 20-year-old passenger and 20-year-old driver both sustained only minor injuries. “Indicators suggest a speed
in excess of 100 kilometres an hour. At that time of day and on that road, it is unbelievable that nobody was seriously hurt or killed,” said Const. Darren Warn, general duty Terrace RCMP in a release. Charges are being forwarded to Crown Counsel upon completion of the investigation by RCMP officers.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month Symptoms and Signs
Every person should know the symptoms and signs of breast cancer, and any time an abnormality is discovered, it should be investigated by a healthcare professional. Most people who have breast cancer symptoms and signs will initially notice only one or two, and the presence of these symptoms and signs do not automatically mean that you have breast cancer. By performing monthly breast self-exams, you will be able to more easily identify any changes in your breast. Be sure to talk to your healthcare professional if you notice anything unusual. Go to www.nationalbreastcancer.org to learn how to perform a selfexam. Look for: • Nipple tenderness or a lump or thickening in or near the breast or underarm area • A change in the skin texture or an enlargement of pores in the skin of the breast (some describe this as similar to an orange peel’s texture) • A lump in the breast (It’s
important to remember that all lumps should be investigated by a healthcare professional, but not all lumps are cancerous.) • For more potential symptoms go to www. nationalbreastcancer.org
Breast Cancer Myth1 Breast Cancer Myth2

But if you discover a persistent lump in your breast or notice any changes in breast Healthy Habits tissue, it should never be ignored.

Men do not get breast cancer; it affects women only. THE TRUTH Quite the contrary, each year it is estimated that approximately 2,190 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 410 will die. While this percentage is still small, men should also check themselves periodically by doing a breast self-exam while in the shower and reporting any changes to their physicians. Breast cancer in men is usually detected as a hard lump underneath the nipple and areola. Men carry a higher mortality than women do, primarily because awareness among men is less and they are less likely to assume a lump is breast cancer, which can cause a delay in seeking treatment. 4921 Keith Ave., Terrace, BC V8G 1K7

Steroid use alleged in cop civil lawsuit “And,” the amended suit continues, “in particular First Nations people, based on prior incidents as well as Heideman’s ingestion and use of steroids which made him more aggressive and violent, which Hart knew or should have known about prior to the incident.” Although Hart has been added in the information as part of the amended suit, he has not been added as a defendant. Heideman and the provincial government remain as the only defendants. A trial date for the civil case has been set for February 2016. Heideman filed a response March 26, 2014 denying virtually all of the allegations except one paragraph where he agrees he was a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Following Wright’s injuries in April 2012, which resulted in his hospitalization, Hart called in the New Westminster police for an investigation. New Westminster police officers subsequently sent a report to provincial Crown counsel lawyers. Crown counsel lawyers declined to lay charges against any RCMP officer, saying “the available evidence does not establish that the force used by police in the incident went beyond what is legally permissible under the Criminal Code. “Under Canadian criminal law, where a police officer’s use of force is lawful, the officer cannot be held criminally culpable for injury or even death which may result from that use of force....,” the report stated. “Given that the Crown cannot prove that the force used by police in dealing with Mr. Wright was either unnecessary or excessive, there is no substantial likelihood of conviction on any offence in these circumstances,” the report continued. Heideman was also involved in another altercation, this time on May 15, 2012 after Terrace resident William Watts called police for assistance in dealing with a family member.
Watts said he was punched, subjected to racist slurs and had a spit bag put over his head after he was arrested for being belligerent and aggressive.
In this circumstance, Crown counsel lawyers also declined to lay charges against any RCMP officer. “Crown counsel has concluded that the
available evidence does not reliably establish the accuracy of allegations that the arresting officer repeatedly punched Mr. [William] Watts in the head,” said a lengthy
statement from the provincial government’s criminal justice branch. Wright was charged following his arrest but a stay of proceedings was then entered.
No charges were ever approved against Watts following his arrest. Heideman is now with the Vernon RCMP detachment.

Bob gets second honour this year TAHLTAN-TLINGIT ARTIST and instructor Dempsey Bob has been busy accepting provincial and national honours this year. He was presented with the Order of Canada by Governor General David Johnston last month, which makes him an Officer of the Order of Canada and recognizes “national service or achievement.” Back in May, Bob received a degree of Doctor of Letters honoris causa from the University of BC in recognition of his work as a foremost artist and as a cultural preservationist and ambassador. Bob is internationally renowned as a master carver, and has produced a widely exhibited body of work, which is inspired by his rich heritage.
He has built crosscultural art partnerships with other Indigenous peoples, notably the Maori of New Zealand. Bob has also shared his cultural and artistic knowledge as a founding member of the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art, where he continues to teach the next generation of master carvers. The insignia of the Order of Canada is a stylized snowflake with six points, a red annulus in its centre and bears a stylized maple leap circumscribed with a motto written in Latin, which translates in English to “They desire a better country,” and surmounted by St. Edward’s Crown.

District tosses desks and chairs THE COAST Mountains School District took several cube vans full of chairs and desks to the Terrace landfill last month after officials said they did all they could to find a use for them first. In all, three cube vans of furniture were taken to the landfill during a two-week period. The furniture was declared either unsafe or unusable, said Coast Mountains school superintendent Katherine McIntosh. “Our facilities department uses thorough due diligence in their process in relation to furniture items that are no longer needed,” said McIntosh. “These particular desks were from our former ET Kenney School.” ET Kenney was closed after the 20092010 school year to help save costs after enrolment dropped. Its kindergarten to Grade 3 students were moved to the next-door Clarence Michiel school building, which up until then had only Grade 4 to 7 students. The Clarence Michiel building is now called the Suwilaawks Community School. “When the school first closed, many items were given to other schools in our district and other neighbouring school districts who were invited to tour the closed site,” said McIn-

After the garage sale, non-profit groups had the opportunity to take any items they were interested in and then any items that could be recycled were recycled, she added. “Following this process, items that had no
remaining value, or [were] deemed unsafe for use, were disposed of,” said McIntosh. Several desks and chairs were salvaged from the landfill by local residents. Danielle Morris and Angela MacDonald said they were looking for items they could fix up and keep or sell. They picked out several desks and chairs that appeared to be usable, saying fixing up and recycling items that had been thrown out was a hobby of theirs.

Sewer system to be studied THE City of Terrace didn’t exactly come away empty handed from the annual Union of BC Municipalities convention which was held in Whistler last week. It’s receiving $60,000 from the provincial government to study its sewage treatment system.
Local and regional governments from across the northwest have been pressing the province for more money for everything from roads to bridges to health care facilities in anticipation of a growth in population should major economic projects being planned for the region ever take hold.
No university in Canada has a history like UNBC’s. Imagine 16,000 people calling on government to create a northern university. It happened here. Before UNBC was a university, it was a social movement that instilled a strong sense of ownership, purpose, and adventure in the region, which carries over to our students today. Raising animals has been a bonding activity for the Haworths, something that continued while Danna went to school not far from her Terrace home. It’s a benefit her mother Maureen and 16,000 others demanded and, 25 years ago, they got it.

Kings take on Steelheads Saturday in home opener AFTER LAST weekend’s exhibition game in Kitimat that saw the Terrace River Kings beat the Ice Demons 3-2 in overtime, Terrace is looking to turn that momentum into official wins when the 2014/2015 CIHL regular season kicks off this weekend. The Kings face off against Kitimat on the road Friday evening before hosting the Smithers Steelheads at the Sportsplex on Saturday night in the Terrace home opener. The team hopes to build on last year’s season, in which they finished first in points in the western division for the regular season and saw players Josh Murray awarded CIHL MVP for 2013/2014 and goalie Garrett Muir awarded top goaltender. They’ll face stiff competition from the Steelheads, who last season captured their third straight CIHL championship, beating the Williams Lake Stampeders 5-2. With the Houston Luckies dropping out this season – something that may have helped beef up the Steelheads’ roster, with players from Houston now playing for Smithers – the format will be 16 games, eight home and eight away with only the top four teams in the playoffs.

Psst... ski season is coming SKIPPING WORK Friday or Monday to ski Shames might not be the stealthiest move, especially if your boss knows how much you love powder. But this season, for the month of February, Terrace and area skiers will be able to hit the slopes on Thursdays, meaning the hill will be open five days a week (Thursday – Monday). The addition of an extra day is an indication of the continued growth of Shames My Mountain Co-op (MMC), which held its annual AGM last week. “That’s a good metric of how we’re growing,” said MMC chair Meredith Skimson by phone Friday. “All of our school groups filled up last year, so we’re going to be able to open up four more days for school groups and to have for everybody to ski. That’s a great thing. A lot of people love skiing on Thursdays.” Last Thursday’s short 30-minute meeting at Northwest Commu-
(250) 638-7283
nity College briefed the 140 voting members, and about 20 children, who attended on the co-op’s finances (still in the black), board changes, and goals for the upcoming season. Last year, the board’s focus was “sustainable finances” said Skimson. This year, they’ll be exploring the idea of “sustainable membership” – what it means to be an active member of the co-op, what the co-op needs from its membership, and how the co-op can continue to grow. That conversation will go in depth this fall at the co-op’s buzz meetings, which see meet ups of members in each of the surrounding communities – Prince Rupert, Terrace, and Kitimat. The membership is 1,200 people and growing, said Skimson. “We can do a lot of things because we are so many people,” she said.

Mountain maintenance work continues The board wants to hear from its members about what they believe the co-op can do, and how they envision active membership. “We need to all work together to find out how to best make the membership effective,” she said. Meanwhile, some particularly active members have been working on improvements to the Shames ski area over the summer, improvements community members will notice when the hill opens this winter. “What they will see is that

we’ve moved the ski club building, so we’ll have a more open base area, which will be great,” said Skimson. “Things they won’t see, but are also really important, is a new haul rope on the t-bar, and we’re retooling the bull wheeling on the chair.” These improvements are part of a years-long effort to replace and repair the 20-plus-year-old mountain infrastructure. “We’ve really focussed the last few years on doing all of the improvements and repairs
ebb and I make plans for tomorrow. The Zymoetz is the colour of lead. You might be able to see into it six inches, Doug says. You can forget the Lakelse, I say. I was there yesterday. There were pink salmon covering every square foot of the bottom. No trout? There were probably trout there, but every time I made a cast, pinks scattered everywhere. All that commotion must have spooked whatever trout were around. I guess we can fish the Copper, I say halfheartedly. We’ve caught fish in dirtier water. I guess, says Doug in a tone of voice that suggests he’s really not into it. Let’s see if we can find some mushrooms, he suggests after a short pause. I immediately flash back to the time we picked a bucket of Chanterelles last September, and recall how I’d sautéed my portion in peanut oil and put them on a plate alongside a filet of sockeye and a handful of green beans from the garden to make a delicious ten mile dinner. The next day, we’re on our way through the wet woods then across the swamp atop the remnants of an aged beaver dam. Frogs scurry into the water. When we reach the island the dogs gambol across the moss carpet. We shed our rain coats, take out our pocket knives and walk a short distance
that need to be done and all of the necessary upgrades. You can see that on the finances, some big spending on maintenance. But you can see that that’s all going to end in a few years, because we will have replaced everything ... The things that we’ve done are going to be good for 20-30 years.” This maintenance wouldn’t be possible without the help of the community, she said. “One of the questions we had last night was ‘How do you think being a co-op is af-
fecting what’s going on?’” “Well we don’t have any solid metrics, but when we do go asking people for donations and for buying a grip and supporting what we’re doing, the response is positive,” she said. “And I’m sure if we were a private corporation, people wouldn’t be donating in the same way. I think they’d still be donating in some extent because they believe in community skiing, but because we’re a non-profit community-service co-op, people are really getting it.”
Terrace wins torch celebration
THE CITY will get to be a part of the 2015 Canada Winter Games with the announcement that Terrace will be hosting the Regional Community Torch Celebration for the Northwest as part of the torch relay. Terrace’s event will take place in December and feature a showcase of First Nations groups and their cultural and culinary traditions, a focus on the contrast between Terrace and games’ host Prince George and how they reflect different styles of community and culture in the north, the city’s strong French community and the celebration will be part of the annual Festival of Lights. “Terrace will once again be shining in the spotlight as a celebration community for the 2015 Canada Winter Games Torch Relay,” wrote Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski in a statement. “Thanks to Tyler Clarke and his team at Kermode Tourism for helping initiate the voting through social media and a big thanks to everyone who voted for Terrace to be awarded this Canada Winter Games event.” Each Regional Community Torch Celebration includes a regional torch relay leg, featuring torchbearers from that region, and a celebration featuring a DJ, Canada Games alumni and representatives and coverage of the event by Global BC. Fort St. John will host the Regional Community Torch Celebration for the Northeast in November and Quesnel will host the celebration for the Central Interior in January. Eight communities went head-tohead in an online vote from August 27 until September 12 to see who would host the celebrations outside of Prince George. More than 2,500 British Columbians voted to determine the winning communities. The winners were announced at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Convention in Whistler by Coralee Oakes, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. The 2015 Games Torch Relay will journey thousands of kilometres across northern B.C., visiting the torch celebration communities leading up to the 2015 Games Opening Ceremonies on February 13 in Prince George.

Police drive drunk girl home
TERRACE RCMP ended last week with a variety of calls between 8 a.m. Sept. 25 to 8 a.m. Sept. 26 including the following ones. Two men, ages 20 and 27, were moved along by officers after the pair was found drinking alcohol in the bushes near Hanson St./ Olson Ave. Police transported an intoxicated 13-year-old girl to her residence. They were called a short time later when the girl stole a bottle of liquor and left. Police were called to Thornhill for a fight outside of the Northern Motor Inn when five or six men attacked and beat three men with skateboards, then left in a van. That’s under investigation. At a rural address, dogs chased thieves off a property after they had been rummaging through an unlocked blue 2006 Honda Civic parked on Wickmann Rd.

Accused killer of teen ordered to go to trial THE MAN accused of killing a teenaged girl from northwestern B.C. in Kamloops and leaving her lifeless body in Guerin Creek has been ordered to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Damien Taylor was committed to trial following a four-day preliminary inquiry this week in Kamloops provincial court. The 22-year-old was arrested in January after police spent more than a year investigating the death of 16-year-old CJ Fowler. Fowler, originally from the Hazeltons, had been living in Terrace and attending school. Fowler’s body was discovered in Guerin Creek, near downtown Kamloops, on Dec. 5, 2012. The Crown called 16 witnesses at Taylor’s preliminary inquiry — a pre-trial hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence to go to trial. All evidence

Nomination period open for local elections Candidates must also be a B.C. resident for at least six months immediately before the day nomination papers are filed and not be disqualified in any fashion from either voting or being nominated. Official nomination lists will be released once the paperwork submitted by prospective candidates has been checked. Two people have already declared they wish to be the next Terrace mayor – current city councillor Bruce Bidgood and former city councillor Carol Leclerc. Art Erasmus, one of the two current Terrace school district trustees, says he’s running again as is Gary Turner, the Thornhill school trustee. Locally elected officials do receive payment with the Terrace mayor, for example, receiving $34,500 a year and a city councillor $14,500. One-third of the payments is tax free, meant to reflect some of the cost of holding office.
Those who wish to be part of the school board might be anticipating a period of labour peace with teachers now that a six-year contract has been ratified. Prospective municipal councillors and regional district directors will have the opportunity to build on an agreement signed earlier this year for northwestern governments to band together and lobby the provincial government for a share of the tax revenues that could flow should major economic development projects being planned ever take hold. One current official who is running again, Ted Ramsey, the current regional district director for Thornhill, has already introduced his theme. He wants to incorporate Thornhill, not only to keep it separate from Terrace, but also make the rural community independent from the regional district. “We’d have council and a mayor and all that stuff,” said Ramsey. And he said the re-
cent resignation of Doug McLeod as the regional district director for Area C, that’s the rural area north of
Terrace running down south to Lakelse Lake and beyond, because he didn’t think the regional district was listening
to people as much as it should on major decisions has added to the idea. “All the recent con-
troversy has changed the dynamics,” Ramsey said of citizen participation. He said a regional district form of govern-
ment just doesn’t suit a community such as Thornhill. General voting day for all positions is Nov. 15.
