Hotel company eyes big project By JOSH MASSEY THE COMPANY that owns the Chances gaming centre here has set its sights on moving it to a new location where it would be combined with an executive-level hotel and conference centre. The location could either be in Thornhill or in Terrace, said Pomeroy Lodging vice president Jackie Clayton. To date, within Terrace, Pomeroy has been looking at land along Keith Ave. west of Kenney which was once part of the Skeena Cellulose/ Terrace Lumber Company complex. A portion of that property is owned by the city. “There is real need for an executive hotel in Terrace,” said Clayton last week from Alberta. But the multi-stage plan, which would be similar to a convention centre, hotel and casino complex owned by Pomeroy in Fort St. John, hinges on first expanding the number of slot machines at the current location, a move already turned down in 2012 by the city council of the day. “If council were to approve our growth then we would take the grown facility and grow it even more in a new location with convention centre and hotel,” said Clayton. Pomeroy has also been looking at locations in Kitimat. Clayton and other Pomeroy representatives held a meet-and-greet this summer at the Bavarian Inn, attended by city officials from both Terrace and Kitimat and they are planning a second later this month. The city recently committed to doing an environ-
mental assessment of three properties west of Kenney and along Keith which is the same area Pomeroy has been investigating. Although the company has also been looking in Thornhill, Clayton said current infrastructure restrictions such as a limited sewer system pose a problem. Pomeroy will be submitting a proposal to council some time this fall to increase the number of slot machines and other existing games at Chances, she said. The company has yet to figure out how many new ones it wants, Clayton added. Municipalities gain from a portion of gaming revenue,
and must approve slot and bingo expansion. When the previous owners of Chances applied in 2012, the Terrace council defeated the request with a 4-3 vote. Lynne Christiansen, James Cordeiro and Stacey Tyers, who were on council then and are on council today, voted against the expansion along with Bruce Bidgood who is no longer on council. Brian Downie, who was on council then and who is on council today, voted in favour along with formermayor Dave Pernarowski and former councillor Marylin Davies supporting increased slot machines.

City shakes off quake plan TERRACE CITY council has decided not to follow up on one suggestion by the local Catholic school and parish to back early-warning system for earthquakes in local schools. Early warning systems use new technology devices called P-sensors which provide up to a minute warning before an earthquake so evacuation can be done more efficiently. The Vancouver Catholic school board is working on a pilot program using the new technology developed at UBC. In Terrace both the Sacred Heart Catholic church and Veritas Catholic school are considering doing so as well. A connection to a central network would cost Veritas approximately $60,000, al-
lowing other schools to then connect at a cost of approximately $30,000 each. Father Terry Brock, who has since moved to Prince Rupert, asked city council on June 23 to request support for a plan to connect all local schools. Early detection systems were said to have lowered the death toll following Japan’s most recent major earthquake in 2011. However fire chief John Klie came back with research that disagrees with the research that Brock presented to council, and council voted Aug. 24 not to involve itself with an early warning system for earthquakes. Klie said the emphasis should be placed on other ways to be prepared.

College adds work camp-style dorm rooms for students here By JACKIE LIEUWEN
NORTHWEST COMMUNITY College is filling two needs with a decision to spend $400,000 on work camp-style mobile units for student housing, says its facilities director. The first is that it increases its student housing stock and the second, for trades students who want to live in the units, it gives them a taste of camp life should they ever work away from home, said Kerry Clarke. “It is very different, a very masculine environment, so we need to train people to understand what to expect when they get there,” he said of camp conditions. Eight trailers make up the 49 co-ed rooms available and are joined together at the college’s unused ball diamond on the edge of its campus. There’s a central trailer with a laundry room, one large men’s washroom and eight individual washrooms. Clarke says the idea was inspired by a conversation between himself and trades coordinator Kevin Jeffery last year. They were lamenting the shortage of student housing in Terrace, or FAX changeslimiting 638-8432.access
to the college where demand often exceeded the 84 dorm rooms available. Clarke said they knew of students who had been unable to come study and courses that have been canceled because students could not find housing. Rental accommodations in the city began to tighten several years ago with increased activity due to preliminary work being done for potential liquefied natural gas and other projects. As they talked, Clarke and Jeffery joked about housing students in the Valard work camp at Kitsumkalum which was being shut down at the time as work ended on BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line. “That was a lightbulb that went off,” Clarke said. “Then it kind of progressed onwards and then we thought, let’s put a camp on our campus.” The dorms are made of refurbished trailers, which are seven years old and originally from the Alberta oil patch. Clarke says their life expectancy is 25 years and the $425 monthly room cost is the same as for the other college dorm rooms. Each has a bed, desk, refrigerator, closet space and

Preference is being given, but not limited, to trades students. The purchase and set
up cost was $400,000 with $375,000 coming from the provincial advanced education ministry and $25,000 from the college. Students in the new camp will be on the regular col-
lege food plan, will have access to covered barbecues, and can have microwaves in their rooms if they choose. Clarke says the increased student capacity does not require changes to the col-
lege’s cafeteria service. There’s been other work going on as well at the college, chiefly renovations to its cafeteria and also to the registration area in the college’s main building.

City hires key official
JOSH MASSEY PHOTO
THE TERRACE and District Chamber of Commerce is moving to the former provincial police building downtown.
Chamber moving THE TERRACE & District Chamber of Commerce is moving to the same building housing the Terrace Economic Development Authority (TEDA) so the two can work more closely together. It follows the decision by the city to end its contract with TEDA and hire its own economic development officer. Chamber president Val Gauvin said the chamber sees value in working with the authority to promote economic development initiatives of their own. “The two organizations will continue to be separate but working together, so we won’t be exchanging any funds from the chamber to TEDA,” said Gauvin. The city’s contract with TEDA officially ends next month. A lion’s share of the authority’s budget came from the city through a $165,000 annual grant. The city’s decision to cease financing TEDA spurred the chamber’s desire to continue with some of the functions related to promoting Terrace to businesses. The move to the former provincial police building on the corner of Kalum and Lakelse also means the chamber’s offices will be more open to people with mobility issues. Currently the chamber is located on the second floor of the SpeeDee Office Experts building. “We also need to find a tenant for the SpeeDee location,” added Gauvin. TEDA itself says its

confident of its future. “Over the years, TEDA has succeeded in developing revenue streams over and above the City of Terrace grant,” said TEDA chair Rob Dykman. “With those resources, TEDA will be entering into a partnership with the chamber to support and operate a business resource centre from TEDA’s current location.” The volunteer board of directors headed by Rob Dykman will continue to hold regular meetings, but the exact responsibilities of the new organization have yet to be worked out. A list of northern towns and their economic development programs provided by
Northern Development Initiative Trust shows that Terrace was one of only three other communities, including Smithers, that had an arms-length economic development arm and development officer position. Several other municipalities have recently brought the position inhouse, such as Prince George, and Terrace has just done the same by hiring a provincial government employee. Among its accomplishments, TEDA played a key role in hosting and organizing the 2013 Minerals North conference in Terrace. It was the largest one of its kind to ever be held in the city.

INVITATION TO TENDER
TCS – 1503 PIPELINES AND STRUCTURES Regional District invites tenders for Contract C: Pipelines and Structures, which will form part of the complete Thornhill Sewer Phase 2 Project. The intent is to select a Contractor for work that includes open cut construction of sanitary forcemains and low pressure sewer pipelines in the vicinity of Thornhill Sewer Phase 2 as well as the construction of air valve chambers and two pressure sustaining valve chambers. Trenchless highway and rail crossings are being completed under a separate contract and tieins at these crossings locations will be required under this contract.
THE CITY has found the person it wants to oversee its land sales arm and handle economic development. Already working in Terrace, Danielle Myles is leaving her current job as regional manager for the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training to become the city’s economic development officer. It’s a merger of two functions – the first being responsible for the city’s lands portfolio which had been handled by Herb Dusdal until he left for a private sector job earlier this year and the second to be the city’s economic development officer now that
it severed its contract with the stand-alone Terrace Economic Development Authority. According to the city’s chief administrative officer Heather Avison, Myles will “round out our team and enable economic development to play a more integral role in the day-to-day operations of the city.” Avison said one of the officer’s first projects once she starts her job Sept. 28 could be organizing a small business walk to mark Small Business Month. The walk involves canvasing local businesses in town to see what their desires and needs are, and then taking those recommen-
dations back to develop municipal strategies that enhance local business. The office for the new position will be located in the city’s public works building, which Avison says will allow easy contact with the zoning and development permit departments. The city’s decision to hire its own economic development officer takes it back several decades prior to contracting out the function. The economic development authority’s own economic development officer position became vacant earlier this year when Blaine Moore left.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015
www.terracestandard.com A5
Gas prices, refinery issue emerges ADDING REFINING capacity to increase fuel supplies might bring down the price of gas, say Skeena – Bulkley Valley federal election candidates, but where or if a refinery might be built remains an open question. The issue arose last week with an NDP candidate Nathan Cullen promising that an NDP government would aggressively pursue lower pump prices, fining gas companies found to be overcharging. But he also said high prices are often blamed on the global market conditions, wondering why that’s so because Canada has the third largest supply of oil in the world yet imports the product. “One of the clear solutions to shielding ourselves from that overseas volatility is to be refining more of that resource, and creating more jobs, right here in Canada,” said Cullen in a statement. But speaking later Cullen would not broaden that statement out to supporting either one of two proposals for a refinery on the north coast. “I think first you need a real [environmental] assessment process and I would argue that doesn’t exist,” said
Cullen. “You would need to address [aboriginal] rights and title and get local communities onside and public support.” Cullen said the NDP has consistently opposed moves by the federal Conservative government to weaken the way environmental reviews are conducted and federal agencies charged with overseeing industrial activity.
In any event, Cullen continued, neither the Kitimat Clean project proposed for Kitimat nor the Pacific Future Energy project proposed for near Prince Rupert are anywhere close to beginning an environmental review. Both would also require a pipeline to carry crude from Alberta to the coast, a concept Cullen vigorously opposes when it comes to the Northern Gateway
proposal sought by Enbridge. That involves pumping Alberta crude to a planned export terminal at Kitimat to Asian refineries. Liberal candidate Brad Layton said he’d support construction in one or the other of the two locations “if it could be done in a responsible, safe and environmentally sound way.” “I would most defi-
nitely like to see us refine more of our raw resources here in Canada including crude oil. This would boost jobs and contribute to a healthy economy,” he said. But, Layton added, he hasn’t seen any environmental assessments connected to the projects nor any details. Gauging his own take on the possibility of increased fuel supply, the Liberal candi-
date did “caution people that with the way our current gas prices are determined I suspect this will not impact our prices in any significant way.” The Christian Heritage Party’s Don Spratt also supported the construction of a new refinery while emphasizing the need for environmental safeguards. “We should wean ourselves off foreign oil, have a domestic free market pricing system, like other oil producing countries. That should lower prices at the pump, while we sell our surplus oil and gas at world market prices,” said Spratt. He was more leery of the NDP’s ability to manage prices. “Even if they could somehow force lower prices at the pump, they would eventually raise the price up in higher gas taxes,” said Spratt of an NDP government. Cullen’s position on gas pricing included a promise that a NDP government would create a gas ombudsman position. Information provided by his campaign indicated the position’s job description and responsibilities would be similar, but not exactly the same, as those called for in a private mem-
ber’s bill introduced in 2012 by a now-former NDP MP. In that bill, the ombudsman would take in complaints about the business practices of oil and gas suppliers and, if warranted, investigate those complaints. If the complaint is, to use the bill’s wording, “well-founded,” the ombudsman would send recommendations for action to the oil or gas suppliers. And if the ombudsman is not satisfied with the response by the supplier, a report is then sent to the federal industry minister. The private member’s bill was, however, silent as to what the minister could or would then do. Cullen also said an NDP government would follow through on Conservative legislation which called for the fining of those whose gas pumps aren’t calibrated and so pump out less than what is indicated on the meter. The legislation came into force in 2014 but no fines have yet been issued. Conservative candidate Tyler Nesbitt had not responded to a request for comment by press time.

Taxes and low loonie Were you phoned? blamed for high prices By JEFF NAGEL GAS PRICES remain stubbornly high in B.C. despite the slide in crude oil prices, and motorists are feeling gouged. Gasoline is down only slightly from $1.40 a litre a year ago, while crude has plunged more than 50 per cent from around $98 a barrel to the $45-$50 level. Petroleum industry analysts say it all boils down to supply and demand. Crude oil accounts for less than half of the end cost of a litre of gasoline, with government taxes and refining charges the other big factors. “I wish there was a simple explanation,” said Jason Parent of the Kent Marketing Group. “There isn’t much of a relationship on a day-
to-day basis between crude oil and retail gasoline.” Parent said crude and gas prices can go in different directions for different reasons, and gas prices in B.C. can diverge from what other Canadians pay. For Metro Vancouver drivers, most of the difference between B.C. prices and the rest of the country is explained by the 17-cent-a-litre TransLink tax. Drivers there and everywhere else in the province also pay more because of B.C.’s carbon tax. Motorists are paying just over $1 in Alberta, a few cents more in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and $1.10 to $1.20 in most of Eastern Canada. But even after taxes are factored out, B.C.
prices are 5 to 15 cents a litre higher than elsewhere. The reason, Parent said, is that prices here follow those along the U.S. west coast, where the wholesale gas supply has been constricted by refinery problems in California, driving prices up. “Wholesale prices have been high there relative to the rest of the U.S. for a month now,” Parent said. Some gasoline comes to B.C. through the Kinder Morgan pipeline, but most of the rest comes from Washington State or other U.S. refineries. Another huge factor behind why Canadians in general aren’t yet seeing much relief at the pumps is the drop in the loonie over the past year.
Crude and wholesale gas are priced in U.S. dollars, so Canadians are paying with a devalued currency that simply doesn’t go as far as it did a year ago. So who is profiting from the persistently high pump prices? “Right now, refiners are the big winners,” Parent said. They’re running close to capacity, demand is up because of lower gas prices and therefore refiners can charge more than usual. If crude oil prices get even cheaper – potentially as sanctions against Iran end and more oil pours onto the world market – there’s no guarantee gas prices will follow because of the refining constraints in North America. Jeff Nagel writes for Black Press.
SOMEBODY WANTS to know what local residents think of an oil refinery and of the prospects of exporting refined products. Telephone polling to that effect took place here and in Kitimat Aug. 31, says the company hired to do the work. Mike Witherly from Rushbrooke Communications in Vancouver, would not disclose who hired Rushbrooke or the reason behind the polling or why it was confined to the Terrace-Kitimat area. But he did say the questions concerned the acceptance of an oil refinery and of the export of refined fuels instead of raw crude oil. Other questions centered around job creation and the impact a refinery would have on the economy. The questions were posed by a recorded voice, asking the person who answered the phone to register their range of agreement of disagreement by using a number button on their phone. Of the two oil refineries being contemplated for the area, one is at Kitimat and the other near Prince Rupert.
Kitimat Clean Energy president David Black, who also owns Black Press, the owner of The Terrace Standard and other northwestern B.C. newspapers, said he did not commission the poll. Black instead pointed to previous poll results posted on the Kitimat Clean website. Those polls, now several years old, indicate the “majority of B.C. residents agree that BC and Canada should add value to natural resources before exporting (86%), that it is better to refine bitumen within B.C. rather than offshore (76%), and agree with diversifying exports to find markets beyond the United States for Canada’s petroleum products (70%).” Comments from Pacific Future Energy, the Vancouver-based company with plans for a refinery near Prince Rupert, were not immediately available. Both projects would export refined oil products to Asian customers and both would cost billions as well as need pipelines carrying crude oil from Alberta. A third project, this time to refine crude in Alberta and ship to the north coast for export has also been proposed.

EDITORIAL
Blockade OF all the players involved in the long-running battle of wits between corporations and northwestern aboriginal groups over industrial development it’s the RCMP who have the most complicated role. The latest flare up concerns the Unist’ot’en, a Wet’suwet’en group who for several years now have blocked attempts to survey pipeline routes through their traditional territory near Houston, B.C. Late last month Coastal GasLink, a TransCanada subsidiary chosen to build a natural gas pipeline to a planned LNG Canada liquefied gas plant at Kitimat, in a calculated move, spread the word its crews would try to gain access to complete needed fieldwork. Coastal GasLink knew its crews would be blocked and, in advance, said it would report any blocked attempt to the RCMP. It’s clear message to the RCMP: “Do something.” The Unist’ot’en responded, citing a “leak” within the RCMP indicating officers would descend en masse, arresting one and all. A long list of environmental, aboriginal, church and other groups predictably chimed in to warn off the RCMP. Did the RCMP play along? Not hardly. In a succinct statement it said it “respected the rights of individuals to peacefully protest.” The RCMP’s own message was for Coastal GasLink and the Unist’ot’en to figure this out among themselves. And so they should. The RCMP has other things to do.

Hydro’s emergency website crashed limiting the information Hydro could get out to worried customers about when repairs could be expected and power restored. (Fancy their panic if the temperature had demanded air conditioning!) The website crashed largely because of frivolous calls by city dwellers so dependent upon their everyday conveniences they contacted Hydro to complain they were unable to use their Internet or Netflix, their cell phones couldn’t be charged, ice cream was melting in their freezers, and their homes were cooler than ideal. Overly dependent upon power fixes, these complainers lacked the commonsense to read a book or play board games until power was restored, eat the ice cream, and layer on a sweater or two.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI later would fit right in with the Vancouver crowd. Though having spent years trekking the world video blogging for Microsoft, Skype, and the German National Tourism Board, Mike Corey chose to celebrate his 30th birthday by camping alone in the wilderness “to disengage from technological dependency”. He wanted time to think about where he had come, and where he wanted to go. He took no tent, only a sleeping bag, hammock, tarps, and a mosquito net (and bear spray). He felt he could get by packing only two weeks’ supply of food,
along with a fishing rod. He reasoned he could find sufficient wild berries to sustain him with any fish he might catch, forgetting berries might no longer be that plentiful in September. He stocked his backpack with a bag of dried beans, a bag of dried rice, beef jerky and macaroons his mother baked for him. He packed no phone, only a GPS to send back coordinates in case he needed rescue; a video camera, a notebook, a copy of Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden”, but no toilet paper. Readers’ comments zeroed in on the lack of toilet tissue, predicted the book would lose a few pages. Within days loneliness got to him, abetted by nervousness over unknown noises. One noisemaker that unsettled him turned out to be a chipmunk. At the end of seven days, he signalled by GPS he wanted to return home. So much for that Davy Crockett. Corey’s story stands out at a time when a movie has just been released starring Robert Redford and Nick Nolte, two older men hiking the 2,100 mile long Appa-
S TANDARD
lachian Trail that runs from Georgia to Maine meandering through 14 states. Redford plays the part of Bill Bryson, an American travel writer who lives in New Hampshire and is the author of several travel books including “A Walk in the Woods” upon which this movie is based. Reading the printed version of “A Walk in the Woods” takes some hours, but is worth the time. Bryson’s special form of humour lightens the dense paragraphs of solid information he imparts about nature such as why chestnut trees, once abundant along the Trail, have been nearly wiped out. Unlike Corey, the intrepid New Brunswick camper who packed light, Bryson and his pal spent a fortune at their local Co-op being outfitted with all the latest and most expensive gear touted by the salesman. In the book, a young woman travelling alone who royally irritated Bryson and his companion provided many of his funniest lines. The Redford movie trailer gives her a few scenes which, if faithfully portrayed, could be worth the movie’s ticket.

HAISLA CHIEF councillor Ellis Ross.
Development can take place
Dear Sir: When I was first elected to Haisla Nation council, I was generally opposed to industry. It didn’t take long before I was confronted with the harsh reality of what our communities have been facing — poverty, suicides, and the hopelessness. Government handouts from
S
Ottawa were not helping our people. There had to be a better way, and we had to help ourselves. We had to find a way to dig ourselves out of grinding poverty. A gas company came knocking at our door in 2004 with an opportunity that we saw as something new that just
might make a difference to the families in my community. We could get our people off welfare and into good-paying jobs. It was a risk, and I was as big a skeptic as there was but I also knew it was something we had a duty to consider. We have studied the LNG industry and its proposals for the last ten years. We have seen
that natural gas is the cleanest of all fossil fuels, and that it can improve the global environment by offsetting dirtier fuels in Asia — after breathing the air in Beijing, Seoul and Tokyo I can appreciate the desire of those countries for cleaner energy.

Dear Sir: In the run up to the federal election, the Conservative government could spend all it wanted on TV advertising and do so with the taxpayers’ money. One of those ads was to promote the RCMP. While promotion of our national police force is perfectly acceptable, that the Conservatives used the force to further their agenda insults the integrity of the RCMP. I was offended that our symbol of justice has been co-opted by the Conservative party to advance its hope of re-election. I do not need to elaborate for you the mischief that the Conservatives have done to notions of justice. From its fascistic censorship of science to its failed-state fear-mongering with Bill C-51, the Conservative party has tried to protect its mess of governance by claiming the RCMP as their own brand. Do we need to re-logo our national police? Though the ads make it seem so, RCMP does not stand for Royal Conservative Member of Parliament. Dr. David Heinimann, Terrace, BC

American frackers winning the oil war
audi Arabian oil minister Ali al-Naimi said this last May: “No one can set the price of oil. It’s up to Allah.” But less devout people believe that Saudi Arabia has been trying very hard to set the price of oil – and to set it low. Moreover, it has been remarkably successful, because last week the price of oil was in the mid $40s per barrel, down from just over $100 last May. But Riyadh is not achieving its objective. Saudi Arabia, like any oil producer, likes a high price for its oil, but since it is very rich and has huge reserves it thinks longterm. Watching American oil production almost double in the past seven years, mainly thanks to the rapid rise of fracking, the Saudis could see that they risked losing their role as the “swing producer” who can raise or lower the oil price just by cutting or increasing its own production. The only way Saudi Arabia could keep that role was to drive the American frackers out of
business. Production costs are secret in the oil world, but the Saudis assumed that the injection of water, sand and chemicals into shale rock at high pressure makes hydraulic fracturing – fracking – very expensive. So the Saudi strategy is to keep its own production high in order to push the oil price down. If the price stays low enough for long enough, high-cost producers like the frackers will have to close down. Then, once the competition had been eliminated, Saudi Arabia jacks the price back up by cutting its own production, and the glory days return. In the meantime Saudi Arabia is losing income too, of course, and oil revenues account for 90 percent of the national budget. It can live on savings for a while, but it needs a fairly quick win. It would be politically unwise to cut the lavish government spending that keeps the Saudi population happy, and the government is also involved in an expensive war in Yemen. The missing income has mostly been
GUEST COMMENT
GWYNNE DYER replaced by withdrawals from the country’s huge foreign reserves, estimated a year ago at $700 billion – but those reserves have fallen by $65 billion in the past year. The brutal fact is that the Saudis are losing this battle. When the US was the biggest producer of oil, before about 1970, it was the swing producer. Within a few years, it will have overtaken Sau-
di oil production and will be the swing producer again. And there is nothing Riyadh can do about it. The Saudis made two mistakes. The first was to overestimate the cost of US shale oil production, and assume that any price below about $80 per barrel would make it unprofitable. There are some shale oil plays for which this is true, but the costs vary wildly, according to the local geology, and can be as low as $20 per barrel. Most shale oil is profitable at $60 per barrel, and that proportion is rising rapidly as consolidation proceeds and efficiency rises. Their other, bigger mistake was to believe that victory was possible at all. When you stop production from a conventional oil well, there is a large permanent loss of flow when you restart production. The pores in the oilbearing rock clog up, and that permanently reduces the “bottom-hole” pressure that forces the oil to the surface. Stopping production at a shale-oil site incurs no such loss,
since the producers create the pressure themselves. Uncap it, and the flow resumes as before. So even if the Saudis succeeded in forcing most of the shale-oil sites to close, the shale producers would just turn the flow on again as soon as Saudi Arabia declared victory and cut production to get the price of oil back up. It will take a little more time to the Saudis to acknowledge their mistake, and they may not even be able to get the price back up to where they need it by cutting production. American production will continue to rise, and Iranian oil will probably also be coming back on the market in a big way by next year. The Saudis will stay rich, but they will have to cut their spending and they will suffer a permanent loss of influence. Their only consolation will be that Iran, which they see as their greatest enemy, won’t be able to use its oil to buy influence either.

Development offers jobs and services This last decade of careful research has convinced our community of the stringent environmental safeguards that are in place, as well as the safety and environmental records of natural gas pipelines and LNG transportation. We have also made some important gains. During the preparation activities anybody in Kitamaat Village who wanted to work was hired. This is a positive step, but believe me, there is much more work to be done. That’s because most of the jobs that are available consist of shortterm labour or service jobs connected to nearby construction camps. For us to be truly successful, we need to see our people among the first in line for the permanent skilled jobs — pipefitters, electricians, millwrights — that will come if LNG projects move ahead. In Kitimat’s boom and bust economy, that will be the only way for us to make good on the promises we’ve been making to our youth – that if they get an education, they will get good jobs and build fulfilling careers. Doing this is not easy. It means negotiating with governments and major multinational corporations on everything from environmental protection to economic benefits. On this, First Nations across B.C. have taken different approaches. One that I have been watching recently is the Squamish Nation, which conducted its own environmental assessment on a proposal by Woodfibre LNG to build a modest sized export terminal near Squamish. Squamish has yet to make a final decision on that project, but it has already issued 25 tough conditions that would hold the project to account in key areas of environmental and cultural protection. If Woodfibre LNG does goes ahead, these conditions will make for a better project, and I think embody the kind of creative thinking we all need if we are to strike that key bal-
ance between economic benefits and stringent environmental protections. Other nations are also finding that balance, like those involved in the Pacific Trail Pipeline (PTP) from Summit Lake to Kitimat, where an unprecedented 16 First Nations – all of the nations along the proposed route – have joined a First Nations Limited Partnership to support the project. Other nations have concerns about the impacts of fracking or pipelines or LNG carriers. I understand these concerns and I believe every First Nation must satisfy themselves about environmental and safety considerations before they turn to the economic benefits that can come their way. We have done this work, and are keen to share it with those nations which do not have the benefit of our ten years of experience. As I discovered more than a decade ago, we have a duty to take these opportunities seriously. We must look at them carefully to understand if the benefits can outweigh the risks. Because services like healthcare, highways, water and sewer – ones enjoyed by First Nations and non-First Nations alike – come with a price tag. Without reliable revenues, cutbacks are inevitable. I began this journey as an opponent, but today I am firm in my conviction that we must work together to ensure these projects proceed while also protecting the environment. Too much is at stake.

Speeder heavily fined AN EXCESSIVE speeder has been punished with a heavy fine and restrictions on driving for a year. John William Arthur Symes was ordered to pay a $1,500 fine and a $250 victim fine surcharge by August 1, 2016 in Terrace provincial court Aug. 25. He is also on probation with conditions for 12 months, one of which is that he’s not allowed to drive a motorcycle. “This is the highest fine that has been handed out for excessive speed in the area,” said Cpl. Philip Crack of the West Pacific Region Traffic Services, also known as the highway patrol. “The traffic unit is satisfied with the decision as it is a little over three times the normal ticket for the higher level of excessive speed, which is $483. The driver also lost his vehicle for a minimum of seven days. “It has been noted that the number of excessive speeding files generated to date by the unit is approximately 20 per cent higher than the total for all of last year. With this decision, we are hoping that people will take the opportunity to check their speeds and avoid a substantial penalty or worse.” As for why the number of excessive speeders has increased so much this year already, Crack

couldn’t say for sure, but did say he didn’t believe it was because of out-of-town visitors here for the boom in mining and other resources. “It was booming more last year and the year before than this year. A lot of the big projects are done, [such as] Valard and the big Alcan push is done. And I know for me personally most of the people I’ve stopped are from around the area, not out of towners,” he said. On June 21, 2015, around 6 p.m., Const. David Desa of the West Pacific Region Traffic Services Unit, was patrolling on Hwy 37 South between Terrace and Kitimat and caught a Suzuki GSX-R 1000 travelling at 225 km/h in a posted 100 km/h zone approximately five kilometres south of Terrace, B.C., said police at that time. “This is the fastest record speed that I have seen in my 12 years in the RCMP,” said Desa at the time. “With the speed the driver was travelling, he would not have been able to react to anything that happened in front of him and could easily have been involved in a serious collision.” The motorcycle was initially impounded for seven days, said police. According to online details from Wikipedia, the top speed of a Suzuki GSX-R1000 is 288 km/h.
THE CITY has accepted a challenge from a southern municipality and is now challenging others in the region to see who can raise the most money per resident in support of the annual Terry Fox Hometown Run to be held Sept. 20 in Port Coquitlam. Last year residents here raised $2,600 and city council hopes to hit the $12,000 mark this year. The challenge was issued by Greg Moore, mayor of Fox’s hometown of Port Coquitlam. “I am challenging each of you to raise one dollar per resident,” he told mayors across the country. In 1981 Fox famously ran for cancer research and raised $24.1 million by generating an average of one donated dollar per person in Canada. He had to cut the run short when his cancer returned.

The country’s population has since risen such that $35 million must be raised to match the target this year of one dollar per person in Canada. “I am super excited to get involved,” said councillor Stacey Tyers, who suggested challenging Smithers mayor Taylor Bachrach. The challenge has now been extended to Kitimat and Prince Rupert. In the past Terrace has faced off with Smithers during Bike to Work Week which the city to the east handily won. “The challenge creates momentum,” said councillor Brian Downie. “We can build on it from other years.” To reach the one dollar per Terrace resident mark mayor Carol Leclerc said partnering with local organizations would be a good strategy.

Trio bikes across the country By JACKIE LIEUWEN THREE TERRACE girls biked across Canada this summer, a three month trip they say was incredibly worth it. “It’s an amazing experience,” said Sarah Schuss, who is 19 and going into her second year nursing at Trinity Western University. “You experience Canada from an entirely different perspective than you would driving.” The trip instigator, 20-year-old Johanna Vandenberg, agrees. “You really feel how Canada is built, like the geography of it,” she said. “It’s really worth it.” Johanna said her mom, Cathy Vandenberg, made a similar trip with a friend when she was 20, and Johanna has wanted to do it since she was 16. Last year, she planned the trip with her sister Ria, 18, and her friend Sarah. Johanna and Sarah were in university at the time, and Sarah says she was unsure if she could do it, so she did not commit to the trip until two months before they left. No time for training, the girls scrambled most things together last minute, with Johanna and Sarah arriving home from university close to a week before departure. Sarah had ordered a new 27-speed Kona Sutra road bike, which arrived the day before they left. Ria was studying hard to graduate early, and was cramming her assignments in until the night before they left. “She was packing all her stuff at
the same time. It was great,” Sarah laughed. On May 10, they loaded their bikes with camping gear, food and water, and headed out – Johanna on a Surly Long Haul Trucker, and Sarah and Ria on Kona Sutras. “The first week was a little tough,” Sarah said. “We kind of built up our endurance as we went along.” Following a general route plan, Johanna said they mapped out specifics a few days in advance. ”We tried for like 100 kilometres a day,” she said, adding that one day they went 150 kilometres because there was no campsite to stop at. “There was times when it was really hard, really stressful, and then there was times when it was like, “Yes! This is the best thing ever!” Johanna said. Most of that was based on weather, terrain, traffic and the size of the road shoulder, Sarah said. Despite the natural beauty, travelling through the Columbia Icefields (or Icefields Parkway) in Jasper National Park was one of the hard stretches which Sarah remembers vividly. “It was a really treacherous part of the highway… it was pretty flat up until we started getting into the ice fields, but we were facing this brutal headwind almost all day. “It seemed like we were just inching along and then we started getting into the Columbia ice fields and the elevation just went way up and we were climbing for what felt like hours,” Sarah said. Things didn’t improve when

RIA, JOHANNA and Sarah take a break from their cross-country trip in Winnipeg, Manitoba. they hit the descent. “It was dangerous and really steep and there were big tour buses passing us on corners,” Sarah said. They parked their bikes at the bottom and took a long break to destress, she said. Covering so much ground, Johanna says they ate quick foods like pasta, minute rice, canned stew and sandwiches. “We were always eating, we were eating probably every hour,” she said.
Youth advisory committee speaks out to city council
Some of the good highlights were the days they spent touring in most of the major cities. They also spent a day checking out the Tunnels of Moosejaw, which Johanna says felt like a maze. “They had really neat stories... [the history was] explained to us and acted out as we walked through the tunnels,” she said. In Ontario they went to Sault Ste. Marie and took the Manitoulin Island ferry across Lake Huron. “It was really relaxing, we felt
like we were doing kilometres without putting out any energy,” she said. Then they travelled south to Greenock, near Walkerton Ontario, where they took a week-long break visiting Vandenberg’s relatives. Then they loaded their bikes again and headed towards Montreal, northeast to Riviere-du-Loup and then southeast to Halifax. “New Brunswick actually reminded me a lot of B.C.,” Johanna said.

By JOSH MASSEY LOCAL REPS Grace Thompson and Seamus Damstrom of Terrace’s Youth Advisory Committee told council August 24 they hope to boost membership now that some members have moved on since the school year ended. Thompson cited such initiatives as the rainbow crosswalk concept to support the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community as important steps to respond to youth concerns and needs. Councillor Michael Prevost is the city’s liaison on the youth advisory committee. “We would love for other people to come join us,” said Damstrom, adding that in the past there have been as many as 20 youths on the advisory committee whereas currently there are fewer than 10. He said in cities like Edmonton such committees have proven to be a strong voice in shaping municipal policy, and crafting the voice of the future.

M
y mother told me about Catherine the Great, who invited Mennonites being persecuted by the Prussian government to come to Russia, and gave us religious freedom and lots of land to farm. After I told my son about Catherine the Great, it occurred to me my mom had likely heard about Catherine the Great from her parents, and they from their parents, all the way back to the first generation born after Chortitza was established along the Volga River in 1789. Catherine the Great promised us freedom of speech, schools, and religion; autonomous government of villages, communities, and colonist areas; and, above all, freedom from military service. She specifically invited the Mennonites in Prussia to immigrate to Russia, promising us complete freedom “for all time,” and 65 desiatinas (165 acres) of land for each family. She remained a ”friend of the Mennonites” until her death in 1796. The arrangement worked well until the 1870s when the Russian government began whittling away at these agreements. The rights of the Mennonites were continually being reduced, resulting in some choosing to leave Russia for other countries including Canada. From 1873 to 1884 about 8,000 Mennonites migrated to Manitoba, including my dad’s great-grandpa. You know, that was okay, since before being pushed out of Prussia for Russia, we were booted out of Holland. We Mennonites take our name from Menno Simons, a Dutch priest who converted to the Anabaptist faith and helped lead it to prominence in Holland by the mid-16th century. In Holland we were known as excellent diverters of water, which later came in handy for transforming the wet

Angela the Great lowlands of Russia into rich farmland. And before that, we fled Zurich, where many Swiss and German converts were martyred. I mean, people burned us at the stake and so forth. Difficult to farm and speak Plautdietsch (flat German) and eat traditional foods like cabbage borscht under those circumstances. On their facebook page, the Marginal Mennonite Society has an on-going “Martyrs” series. For example, on this date in 1537 two Anabaptists were executed in Bern, Switzerland. Their names were Catharina Friedli Imhoff and Jurg Hoffser. After the First World War, the one against Germany, Mennonites in my hometown of Steinbach, Manitoba, were dismayed to hear their rights were again being threatened. “Hey,” said the authorities, “You guys are German, right? You can’t speak German here!” And so many of us got on trains and went to British Honduras and Paraguay and Mexico, not willing, or able perhaps, to explain that Switzerland and
Holland and Prussia and Russia does not equal Germany. After the Second World War, the one against Germany, Mennonites in my hometown of Steinbach, Manitoba, were dismayed to hear their rights were again being threatened. Hey,” said the authorities, “You guys are German, right? You can’t speak German here!” And so many of us got in our cars and went to British Honduras and Paraguay and Mexico, not able or willing to explain how wiggly and changeable the borders were drawn in northern Europe. Now to our sweet Angel, Angela Merkel. In Syria, since the start of the civil war, Germany has enjoyed a broadly sympathetic reputation for offering the country’s refugees better asylum conditions than other EU states, bar Sweden. In the 12-month period to June this year, the country received 296,710 applications for asylum. But the recent spike in pro-Merkel outpourings has been triggered by Germany’s decision to make use of the “sovereignty clause” of the Dublin convention, allowing Syrian refugees to apply for asylum in Germany rather than being deported back to the EU country where they first arrived. On Facebook, there are pages with titles such as “Mama Merkel, Mother of the Outcasts”, and Syrians are sharing images of the chancellor with slogans such as “Wir lieben dich” (“We love you”) or “Compassionate mother.” Some posts carry the hashtag #Merkel_TheEthiopian, a reference to the story of Ashama ibn Abjar, a benign Christian ruler who gave shelter to Muslim refugees in the kingdom of Axum (now northern Ethiopia and Eritrea) at the time of Muhammad. We could also compare her to Catherine the Great. I know parents will tell their children about her.

“Especially the foliage and the way the highways followed the rivers.” She says they did not see many sights of the east provinces, as weather was poor and they were travelling quickly for their destination. They got to Halifax August 11 and flew home a day later. Sarah says she always biked around before, but now she is much more eager to bike. “It’s kind of become our normal,” she said. “We were on our bikes every day, 8-10 hours a day, so it feels normal to be on it all the time.” Looking ahead, the girls are considering future bike trips, and are throwing around bike tour ideas in Scotland, New Zealand or Iceland. They also recommend it to anyone, noting that they met 50- and 60-year-old cyclists on their trip. “You are never too old to do it,” Sarah said. “You kind of just have to get on your bike and go.”

Prevention is the key to avoiding home break-ins DWAYNE SHEPPARD surveys the outside of a home on a quiet residential Terrace street. A recreational vehicle has been backed into the driveway, close to the home’s second-storey overhang extending over the garage. It’s too close, observes Sheppard, an auxiliary RCMP officer. The ladder affixed to the back of the vehicle could offer someone an easy way up to the overhang and, potentially, a way inside the house through an upper floor window. “Sometimes it just takes another set of eyes,” says Sheppard in outlining a series of tips on safeguarding a residence against a burglar. Around the back, he points to another ladder, this time of the all-purpose aluminum variety, left on the ground. “Chain it to something like a garden shed,” says Sheppard. “If someone doesn’t use it on your house, they could use it on your neighbour’s.” Residential break-ins at times occur as a crime of opportunity, made easier by a homeowner’s failure to take simple preventative measures, Sheppard says. Removing the opportunity and the means to carry out a break in could then encourage a would-be burglar to move on, he said. Sheppard advises people to install motion sensor lights outside of their residences which

If burglars can tell that someone is home, there’s a greater chance that they won’t attempt to break in. • Secure Sliding Doors and Windows. You can easily break into some older sliding doors by simply popping them off of their frame, even when locked. • Don’t Leave a Spare Key Out. • Secure Your Yard. • Get Police Help. The Terrace RCMP Auxiliary program offers free Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) evaluations for your property. Call the Terrace RCMP for more information. • Prepare Before Vacation. Residential crime spikes during July and August as people set off on summer vacations. • Know Your Neighbours. Getting to know the people you live around is one of the most important safety steps you can take. • Stay Vigilant! Although it’s nice to know you have people watching out for you in your neighborhood, you also need to watch out for yourself. • Lock it Up. More than 40 percent of break-ins happen without the use of force, which means people are leaving their houses without locking doors and windows. For the complete list, see terracestandard.com.

Proceeds from the sale and barbecue went to the ongoing expenses of cancer treatment for five-year-old Annabelle Demedeiros.

Man gets 21 days in jail for breach of probation A MAN who came to the attention of police at the scene of a fire ended up with a jail sentence for a different reason. Justin Aster was charged for breaching his probation condition to not be outside his residence if he has consumed alcohol, the result of an incident that occurred Aug. 16. Crown Bill Funnell, who did not prosecute the case but was familiar with it, said police did not forward a charge about Aster’s behaviour while at the fire scene, but a charge was laid because of the probation breach they discovered when doing a check. Aster had been asking questions and refused to leave when asked at the location, which was the old CN bunkhouse. The building was owned by the Best Western Inn, which used it for storage until a fire partially burned it earlier this year.
Officers noticed Aster in an intoxicated state, arrested him and later learned of the probation breaches, said Funnell. Aster was sentenced to 21 days in jail which was reduced to 15 days after time served was considered. On Aug. 17, Terrace RCMP said officers were called when a man refused to leave an area, remaining in the way of working firefighters. Police arrested the intoxicated 28-year-old man. While he was in custody, they learned that he had breached two probation orders and an undertaking by being intoxicated, said police. He also had an outstanding warrant for his arrest and was held for court, they said. A second charge of breach of probation and the breach of undertaking charge were stayed by the court.
to leave and he finally did after following her around for a short period of time. Police also got called about three overdue mushroom pickers on the West Kalum Forest Service Road. They activated Search and Rescue. The ill-prepared men spent the night in the forest when they didn’t make it back to their quads prior to darkness setting in.

I always liked Studebaker Hawks so when I saw one on consignment at MacCarthy’s I made an offer on it. Once the offer was accepted, we put it in the shop and worked on it on & off for about four years. We repaired the front fenders, smoothed out some minor dents, and replaced some of the chrome pieces, reupholstered the seats and cleaned the head liner and other various parts. We even rechromed the rear bumper and put radial wide white wall tires on, then gave it a complete paint job.

Terrace seniors take home 17 medals By JACKIE LIEUWEN
SUBMITTED PHOTO
MAXINE SMALLWOOD takes home three gold and three silver medals from the Track and Field events at the recent B.C. Seniors (55+) Games.
TERRACE CYCLIST Trudy Rafuse faced the elements and 80 competitors to win her hard-earned gold medal at the BC Seniors Games, re-named the 55+ BC Games. “It was pouring buckets in the morning [of the big road race],” said 61-year-old Rafuse, who competed in the 60-64 cycling category. The road was wet and it rained intermittently throughout the race, she said, but the big challenge was the hills. “There were some tough hills,” she said, adding that the race finished on a fairly steep hill with a 10 percent grade. “I had to work hard to get my gold medal in that road race, especially near the end,” she said. “I didn’t think I would place that well… I was thrilled.” Rafuse also took home a silver medal in the time trial race, and was one of 17 Terrace seniors who came home with medals. Maxine Smallwood won six medals in track and field events. She earned gold in shot put, weight pentathlon and javelin and silver in hammer throw, weight throw, and discus. She says the downpour of rain on the Friday was tough to compete in. “Trying to throw the discus when it’s pouring rain is not much fun,” she said. She notes that the games did lack some organization compared to other years, with location changes a month before the games and lack of water at a 5,000-metre race on a hot day.
But overall she says the games were pretty good. This was the first year at the games for 56-year-old Daryl Gurnsey, who competed with the Terrace five-pin bowling A-team. He says the seniors were quite competitive and the camaraderie was great. “There was a good group of competitors from all over the province. They were very pleasant and very nice and they play hard,” he said. “I had a lot of fun and it was something worth doing again.” Rafuse says that for many of the seniors who compete, the games are more about fun than medals. “A lot of the people from up here just love going down there,” Rafuse said, “It’s a great big social event for them. Win or lose, they say ‘ah, its okay, I just come for the fun of it!” Seniors from the northwest zone, which includes Prince Rupert, Terrace and Kitimat, won 52 medals overall in the games. From Terrace there were five gold, 11 silver, and one bronze medalist. Cecil (Bob) Goodvin won three silver medals in shot put, discus and javelin in the 90+ category. Other winners were JeanPaul Bourgeon with gold in 65+ horseshoes, Marielle Mercure with silver in 55+ horseshoes, Jim Lynch with silver in 75-79 golf, and Ken Earl with bronze in 65-69 Pentathlon. Two Terrace 55+ cribbage teams won silver, Claudette Laplante/ Frank Schindel and James MacKenzie/Elizabeth Wideman.
New roller derby training for junior skaters By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE’S ROLLER Derby Association is launching a new junior training program for young people to try out the sport. The eight-week training program will build roller skating skills, with training first focused on teaching youth how to stop and how to fall safely, said junior coach Tarea Roberge. Geared to anyone ages 12-18, the program starts out no contact. “You have to be at a certain level to be allowed to play contact derby,” said Roberge. “At a younger level it starts out with a lot of positional blocking, so it’s getting in front of people and stopping them rather than hitting them… No one is allowed to hit until they are deemed safe to do so [by coaches].” The program will start October 4, with youths meeting every Sunday for eight weeks at the Thornhill Secondary School gym. Despite the Terrace roller derby
Nightmares being a ladies-only team, Roberge says boys are welcome to the junior training program. They might start a youth co-ed team, or there are opportunities for male refs or coaches, she said. Since the program is geared toward youths who want to try the sport without committing and buying all the gear, junior skaters can sign out and use league equipment for training. After this eight-week training wraps up, Roberge says they plan to launch a junior team called the Night Terrors. With a 14-person roster, Roberge foresees it taking a bit of time to build up the interest and skills, but eventually they want to have the Night Terrors play games alongside the Nightmares, who average two home games and up to four away games per year, mostly against Prince George and Quesnel. The Nightmares are also starting a Fresh Meat program October 4, for adults who want to try the sport.

Dragon boaters launch new races
Wednesday, September 9, 2015 Terrace Standard
By JACKIE LIEUWEN THE DRAGON Boat Regatta is adding some new elements to their event, coming up September 12. Paul Bibby, one of the event coordinators, says they are planning a new men’s tug-of-war event, and a surprise event for the guts and glory. She says they changed up the guts and glory event to engage other racers, rather then the same top three from previous years. The 10th annual Dragon Boat Regatta is this Saturday at Furlong Beach with eight teams competing, three from Terrace, three from Kitimat, and one each from Smithers and Prince Rupert. Two of the Terrace teams will be new on the water. The City of Terrace and Northern Health are each entering novice teams new to the boats. The regatta starts with opening ceremonies at 11 a.m. Races launch at noon, starting with heats to rank teams and seat them for the tournament, and then the tournament will wage all afternoon, ending with the final guts and glory event. The races are broken up with fun events, including the new men’s tug-of-war, and a ladies-only, random-draw race to win champagne and chocolate. “We will have almost 200 participants in the racing and volunteers,” Bibby said. “It’s a great sport, lots of teamwork involved and lots of fun.”
Sports Scope TRAINING CAMP for mountain bike racing starts today, Sept. 9 and will be Wednesdays 4-5:30 p.m. and Saturdays 10-12 p.m. October 10 is the 2015 Mountain Bike Biathlon.

ay and Norm McFarland have moved to the tropics – Terrace’s loss, Kelowna’s gain. Before they left, Norm kindly left me a package of old fishing magazines. At the top of the pile was a copy of the last copy of Northwest Sportsman dated January 1977. The magazine’s cover showed its publisher, Jim Railton, sitting in a boat on what must have been a cold day on the lake, given that he has a jaunty fisherman’s canvas cap on his head and is wearing a fly vest over a Mackinaw wool shirt, a down vest and a sweater. Jim is admiring a recently boated, foot-long Varden char. Over the fish’s head, superimposed on the cover photo in black bold print were teasers. SKEENA COUNTRY caught my eye. I turned the cover and examined the magazine’s table of contents. The magazine’s last hurrahs were impressive. Dr. Peter Larkin, Rhodes scholar and the doyen of BC Fisheries biologists contributed an article on the state of salmon enhancement. There was a piece on the meaning of conservation by Dr. D.B. Turner, former director of conservation in the provincial government’s Department of Lands and Forests, holder of four degrees and the man who had been voted Canada’s greatest soccer player of the first half of the 20th century.

DRAGSTERS LINE up for street races on the Saturday morning of the Hot August Nights. Cancelled Saturday afternoon, the Hot August races were one of three Terrace drags rained out this year.
Rain limits drag racing season By JACKIE LIEUWEN THIS YEAR’S drag racing season has been “pretty lacklustre” as all three Terrace drags were cancelled or cut short by rain. “Weather-wise, it’s the worst we have ever had,” said Kris Barnett, president of the Terrace Drag Racing Association. Terrace and Houston dragsters join together in a regional points circuit, tallying points from the races run in the two communities. The annual circuit typically has five races, with a total of seven racing days to
tally points. This year they tallied points from only three days because of weather. The first race weekend in Terrace June 6 and 7 tallied points the first day, but was rained out the second day, Barnett said. The Houston Drags July 19 were dry, and dragsters tallied the usual full-day of points. The third race was Terrace Hot August Nights on the August long-weekend, which were rained out on Saturday for the first time in more than 18 years. “I was 12 years old when I went to my first drag race, and it’s the first time I’ve

ever seen August long-weekend get rained out,” said Barnett. Dragsters chalked up points at the fourth race in Houston August 22-23, and the season wrapped up with yet another rained out race in Terrace Aug. 29-30. “This season has been pretty lacklustre… It’s funny because it’s been one of the hottest seasons that we’ve had here in Terrace in a long time, and then every time we tried to race it was raining,” he said. “If you ever need rain, just let us know and we will schedule a drag race.” Dragsters wrapped up the season with a banquet August 30.
net openings at the mouth of the Skeena in late August with the full knowledge that this is the peak migration time for summer steelhead and that crude do-it-on-thecheap logging by the minions of the Coast Tsimshian and their ilk is still going on at the expense of the same rivers Lee writes of and their denizens. Lee made his first forays to the Skeena in the 1950’s, driving to the Morice on a rough gravel track and fishing the Zymoetz when the road alongside the river didn’t extend past the lower canyon. Of the Morice he writes, “northerners fish it, weather permitting, right through December to the closing date of January 15. That seems thoughtless to me, when it is said to be only a summer run, waiting there to mature and spawn the next spring, vulnerable for six or more months.” “At the very worst, fishing for that fragile run … should be restricted to artificial lures. Better still, fly-only.” Lee was a founding member and the president of the Steelhead Society of BC when it was a forward thinking organization that put priority on the well being of fish. He would be ashamed to learn that the latest version of that once highly respected organization recently passed a resolution to the effect that they would not discuss any issues regarding tackle limitation lest they offend bait fishers, and that it pushed to fish the Thompson River steelhead, despite the evidence that the wonderful race of mighty desert steelhead is on the edge of extinction.

Hotel project depends on more slots If councillors vote the same, that sets three against and one for the proposal, with votes still to be made by Michael Prevost, Sean Bujtas and mayor Carol Leclerc as the new council members. Pomeroy purchased Chances in 2014, and plans to take up where the previous owner left off in terms of trying to convince Terrace council to allow more gaming units to be installed at the current facility, said Clayton. Carol Leclerc said she wants to see the application before making up her mind. “You have to keep an open mind about these things, so we will see what they bring to the table,” said Leclerc. “Let’s not get the cart before the horse.” Prevost, elected just last November, said he would use his healthcare provider experience in examining any application. “As a healthcare provider, I know that we have vulnerable populations in our community, that do have challenges around addiction and gambling, so I think it
is important to take that into consideration and ask the questions necessary to see whether or not it’s right for the
community,” he said. “In terms of our taxation, the city and the community does benefit from the taxes and sup-
port generated by BC Lottery,” Prevost added. Bujtas, also elected for the first time last fall, works at Chances
and would likely not vote because of a conflict of interest. Leclerc did say she’s wanted to see a con-
vention centre built for some time but could not say whether the potential for one would sway her decision.
Currently Terrace’s Chances has 75 slot machines and 140 bingo seats contained within 4,500 square feet.

Quake plan
“We did our research, I checked Emergency Management B.C., and with them and the provincial government they have done quite a few reports on earthquake preparedness and they are spending their time and resources making sure the building codes are up to standard so they will make it through an earthquake and other things they do for education purposes,” said Klie. Veritas school principle Dave Crawley said he thought the city decision was off the mark, though his school has yet to decide whether they will go through with installing a system on their own. “We probably will at some point, but we are trying to get some partners in to defray the costs because it is pretty pricey,” said Crawley.
