Skeena Sawmills starts up again By JOSH MASSEY SKEENA SAWMILLS has announced it will be reopening after a two month hiatus during an ongoing slowdown in asian timber sales. “We are starting in sequences,” mill official Roger Keery said last week, adding that full production should be kicking in the last week of September. Next week the large log
line will start and the week after the small log line will be moving, he said. At the same time, the mill will start up its planer mill. When the mill is producing at full capacity, it is processing 30 truckloads of logs a day into various forms of lumber, 80 per cent of which goes to Asia. The mill employs 85 people for production and another 15 in backend roles.
Including the number of logging contractor employees the total work force generated by the business is about 140-150. Keery said he is pleased that his workers are coming back after being laid off for the summer. “I was really concerned about that,” he said. “It seems that our employees have stuck with us and I appreciate that.” He says the loyalty
speaks to the workers’ attachment both to Terrace and to Skeena Sawmills as an employer. “I think part of it was timing, everyone in Terrace likes the fishing season over the summer and I think took advantage of that, and I think Terrace is a good place to live and we are a good employer and people believed that we were going to go back to work and stuck
with us,” Keery said. The halt in production saw stacks of lumber waiting in its Terrace yard and at Prince Rupert, waiting to be shipped to Chinese end markets. With such a large proportion of the mill’s customers residing in China, that leaves 20 per cent up for domestic sales. The U.S. is a challenging market for the Terrace-based
mill because of its distance and lack of direct rail access which means wood has to first be moved through Vancouver. “We’re freight-disadvantaged to get to the U.S.,” Keery said. Another reason why U.S. buyers are scarce is because they are looking for treated wood. “We don’t have enough kiln capacity,” said Keery.
Photographer travels Canada By JOSH MASSEY TIM VAN Horn’s RV “Big Maple” stands out from the other vehicles outside the Tim Hortons on Lakelse Ave. It is basically a huge national symbol on wheels, wrapped bumper to bumper in 20,000 photos of Canadians forming a huge Canadian flag with a motorcycle attached to the back plastered in portraits as well. Van Horn was scruffy and had a jumpy energy that seems natural for a road warrior who has crisscrossed Canada eight times to document the human fabric of the landscape. He is in Terrace on his most recent foray to make that number even bigger. The goal for his Canadian Mosaic Project is to have snapped 54,000 portraits by 2017, which will represent 0.150 percent of the population, a number that coincides with that year being the 150th anniversary of Confederation. During that year, Van Horn plans to depart from his hometown of Red Deer, Alberta, on a national tour in a larger bus decked out in the entire collection. “It’s something the country can follow for that birthday year,” he says. “It’s tangible, it’s not on the Internet. It’s not in Ottawa. It’s coming to Terrace. I go back to the communities in which the portraits are taken.” In B.C. alone he’s documented individuals from 80 communities and in this area, approximately 200 people. His vision is to celebrate the growing diversity of opinions and origins making up modern-day Canada, labeling his project a “visual anthropological study.” He doesn’t record information about his subjects, but instead leaves it up to the viewer to create their own story – to find their own identity within the mosaic’s whole. “You write a whole story for that person, and it gives placement for you within that story,” said Van Horn. On the RV door is a sign inviting passersby to knock if they want their photos taken. One Quebecois lady knocks and quickly begins to recount historical instances of discrimination against French language speakers in Englishspeaking parts of the country, telling Van Horn she hopes he is aware of this. And does he speak French?

Van Horn must quickly disarm her. Yes, yes, he smiles. It’s exactly what he aims to accomplish – bring east and west, north and south – together into his unified portrait of the country, dissolving all barriers and stereotypes. Though he missed his French lessons, he loves French Canada. After taking the woman’s picture against the exterior wall of Big Maple and seeing her on her way, he says that he is constantly engaging with people, some who have a bone to pick with nationalism. “Those are lessons in people’s temperament,” he said. “There’s a lot of reconciliation that needs to be done in our country, not just with the First Nations.” “I’m not rah rah Canada. I’m not a nationalist, I’m a human-
ist,” he adds. He’s had plenty of time to discuss politics on the road. Harper’s “karma is running out” he said. “If he’s re-elected, that’s okay, I will just drive my Canada Bus down to the U.S. for the next four years.” Van Horn’s website, www.canadianmosaic.ca, solicits sponsorship by the kilometre and he’s been living hand to mouth while on the road without any government grant support. “Any day I am out on the sidewalk and someone says I love what you are doing and gives me 20 bucks, I say thank you and go straight to the gas station right after the day of shooting. I make just enough to pay for my gas.” His sponsorship quest has put him in what he says are slightly awkward scenarios where he has

had to do the odd bit of product placement in return for support from businesses. But he insists that the project is about the people, not profits. “It’s something I have been working towards my whole life in one way or another,” Van Horn said. “You need an outgoing personality to do this, you have to see people as equals. In turn, it’s given me a licence to stop and engage with everybody in every scenario.” “I grew up in a military family, so I traveled around as a kid in the Canadian Air Force. My parents served, my grandparents served, so I felt like I needed to do something equivalent as serving in the military, so this is my creative tour of duty to do something good for the country.”

Awards nominations sought for annual chamber awards
THE TERRACE and District Chamber of Commerce is adding a bit of mystery and making changes to its annual business excellence awards this year. It’s doing so by a change in how judges choose the top three finishers in each category. This year the judges won’t know the identities of those who have been nominated for one of the 12 categories, says chamber executive director Erika Magnuson-Ford. Instead they’ll only receive the details as to why someone or a business should be nominated, she said. The idea is to put the emphasis on the accomplishment or activity of the company or person being nominated, Magnuson-Ford continued. “It’s a big change. We really need the public to become involved in nominating in all the categories,” she said. And in another change, the judges who choose the three nominees in each category this year will be the winners from last year’s awards. “This way we’re hoping they’ll become

YVONNE MOEN was last year’s winner of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce’s Community Booster Award, one of the categories in its annual business excellence awards. involved in the awards over the two years,” said Magnuson-Ford. The chamber has also made changes to the award categories by dropping the family friendly, welcoming and inclusive and retailer of the year awards. “We found a lot of duplication between company of the year and retailer of the year,” explained MagnusonFord of the latter cat-
egory decision. But there is also a new category – that of renovation of the year. “When you go around town you notice a lot of renovations. It’s a constant here on the part of businesses and we wanted to recognize that,” said MagnusonFord. Also new this year is the venue for the gala banquet at which the winners will be an-
nounced – the arena banquet room. Nominations for the 12 categories are now open by going to www. surveymonkey.com/ r/2015TerraceBEA and close Sept. 25. Once the nominations are in and the three finishers in each category are selected, a ballot will be posted and voting will take place. Magnuson-Ford

EDITORIAL
Balance THE decision by the City of Terrace to end its relationship with the Terrace Economic Development Authority and pull economic development back in-house sets the stage for the city to further solidify its already powerful presence when it comes to economic growth. Already the ultimate decisionmaker, thanks to its ability to craft bylaws and administer what should happen where and how when it comes to land use, the city is merging economic development with the management of its own land holdings. The advantage of the city to both offer land for sale as well as the means of building on it or otherwise using it should not be discounted. The result is the creation of a super-entity where the plan is to development a seamless and coherent administrative structure. That more than fits the natural inclination of any bureaucracy – to make its workings fit its own internal goals and objectives. The danger and the challenge for the city, however, is to ensure its new entity doesn’t unduly frustrate or impede those who knock on its doors. Economic development, which is the combination of an entrepreneurial spirit and risk taking, must of course fit within the mandate of sound and responsible policies. But city council must ensure an effective balance is maintained for growth to occur.

ecent news reported a variety of stories. Several stretched credulity, others provoked humour equal to late night TV, and a memoir offered a simple way to alleviate family discord. The mad notion a country can build a fence to hold out undesirables stretched credulity beyond its limits. Over the years the U.S. has been building sections of fence to keep Mexicans south of the Rio Grande. It hasn’t worked. Migrants continue to cross into the U.S. hiding in fields or digging tunnels. Now presidential hopeful Donald Trump, supported by the governor of Wisconsin, blusters about fencing the U.S. off from Canada throughout the full 8,892 km length of the 49th parallel from Maine to the Pacific Ocean. Did Trump check an atlas or Google map? If he had, he’d notice such a fence would have to snorkel across rivers, divide Pearson Airport, pass between library stacks in a small New England town library, and leave North Dakota farmers living in one country, plowing their

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI fields in the other. For weeks Hungary has been building a 12-foot high fence to stem the onslaught of migrants and refugees from Syria. As of September 7, the portion of fence featured in a news clip was only half height. Granted, the fence is made of razor wire which discourages anyone climbing over. But what if migrants tunnel under? Or throw up a makeshift stile at unobserved locations, like flinging a folded quilt over the glass shards of an upstairs window broken to escape a fire? Such a fence would, however, stimulate employment,
lead to lucrative contracts, and increase the stock value of razor wire manufacturers. Further stretching credulity, we had the weeks of Duffy trial in an Ottawa courtroom where each day another raft of emails disclosed questionable efforts by prime minister Harper’s inner circle to squash the senate scandal. Two top staffers even went so far as to declare under oath they had not read crucial emails from their boss. A Globe and Mail editorial headline published August 27 tickled my funnybone: “At the Duffy trial, the firemen just keep bringing more kindling.” Also in a lighter vein, a columnist with the Wall Street Journal asked humorist David Sedaris to rate his level of willpower. He replied, “The level of my willpower depends on what I’m trying to stay away from. When it came to giving up drugs, cigarettes and alcohol, I felt slightly above average. Ditto the first 10 times I lost weight. Lately though, at least in the dieting department, I’m starting to feel below average. I have breasts now and can feel them jiggling as I run to the ice cream

truck.” Retired Olympic speed skater and cyclist, Clara Hughes, published her memoir this week. In it the 42-year-old talks of her years of fighting depression and an eating disorder, made worse by an alcoholic father who terrorized her home life , and her first cycling coach who publicly berated her weight. “Regression” therapy better equipped her to return home to her Winnipeg family, ending for good the insanity of family get-togethers in which everything went to hell. She would tell her mom, grandmother, alcoholic dad and mentally ill sister, “Okay, I have two days. I want to see you all, but not at the same time.” In this way she could love each one, visit each one, then leave each one. She established over her visits control that she lacked as a child. Sitcoms joke about dysfunctional families reluctant to visit disagreeable relatives at Thanksgiving or Christmas yet showing up year after year to partake in a tense ritual. How much more civilized to meet informally with only those who make you happy.

The Mail Bag Oil pricing a bit fishy
ganizers knew B.C. workers made up the majority of provincial voters. Of course, despite the progressive propaganda not to vote Harper, I shall always vote for the Christian Heritage Party since Canada’s heritage was the King James Bible and not the NIV, or, the Nearly Inspired Version.
Dear Sir: This summer was a sudden jump in prices at the pump. And although there’s been a drop, we should still ask why. Taxes did not increase, the Canadian Dollar was stable at about 80 cents US, crude oil prices were stable at around the mid $45 (US) range, there is an overproduction of about 3 million barrels per day and demand is stable or dropping, so what is the reason for that jump? I must have missed all those tanker trucks removing the cheaper fuel from gas station storage tanks (all in one day or two) and filling those tanks with more expensive product. Why is it when there is an overproduction and everything else is stable, prices go up? Complaining about that increase to a frontline person, for example a gas station attendant, is about as effective or useful as complaining to a bank teller about the interest rate the bank charges or at the grocery store to the cashier about food prices. If one would want to complain and be effective, use social media to the head of that organization, oil companies, banks, etc. and the cabinet minister who enforces policy for those organizations. Because such a minister is a public servant and this is election time, they’ll listen to public input. A number of public servants apparently have forgotten who pays their wages, who is their employer (the public which is you and me and everybody else) and who they are to serve, not some industry or special interest. Perfect example of that would be Mr. Jim Prentice, forgetting who paid his wage and the result and when getting re-elected himself, quitting immediately and forcing the people who did elect him to have a byelection at additional cost to the people who he was to represent.

WRITER WORRIES if federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has what his father had.
Harper uses old time tactic Dear Sir: First, PM Stephen Harper didn’t say anything and then he called an early election. A few years after cancelling spending money on your house to get a tax credit he’s promising it again, but only if he’s reelected and then only in a few years. I didn’t get to cover B.C. Premier WAC Bennett’s time in office but I heard my elders
T
laughing at him using pretty much the same tactic on his voters throughout the 1960s. Ol’ Wacky would punish voters for voting Socred [his party] when they won the election and then pass out free money at the end of their term saying, “See when you vote for us we come through!” The idea being they would call an election just when things were going to get tight
in a “Socred recession” but have it all worked out in a “Socred surplus” in time to vote for them again. Even stranger than the Russian animal behaviorist, Dr. Pavlov, voters were conned into it every election, causing CBC News in Toronto to call B.C. “Lotus Land,” which was not the way to impress the Left Coast which always voted “right” even though NDP or-
A deficit may not be the bogeyman after all
he focus on deficits in the federal election campaign, triggered by one political party’s call for a major infrastructure program to be financed over a three-year term by way of deficits, highlights the mindless state of our politics. The proposal is to spend money in excess of what is collected by taxation, royalties, and all other sources of federal revenue combined, to upgrade the national infrastructure. Roads and bridges tend to be given as examples of what constitutes a national infrastructure, but the term embraces the fundamental facilities and systems that serve the nation’s publicly owned assets. The infrastructure is the foundation of a nation’s public and private economy. It is most revealing that the political arguments triggered by that announcement are on the deficit and not on the infrastructure. A reference to deficits in the
context of government finances insinuates a lack of fiscal responsibility. A budget deficit does not suggest that the government’s debts exceed the value of its assets (it does not mean that the mortgage is greater than the value of the house). A budget deficit means that the projected expenditures exceed the anticipated income. There are conditions under which a budget deficit is not only reasonable, but may in fact be a responsible way to proceed. A citizen with a balance on a line of credit left owing at the end of the month has spent more money than he has earned. Or, to put it another way, he is running a deficit. There comes a point at which expenditures that exceed revenues are irresponsible; this holds true for citizens as much as it does for nations. However, it is equally true that holding expenditures at a level below revenues as a matter of
GUEST COMMENT
ANDRE CARREL principle without regard to prevailing conditions, amounts to irresponsibility. To evaluate the prudence of running a budget deficit one needs to examine and evaluate the reason for doing so. When the condition of a personal asset is defective and in need of repair, the responsible decision is to fix
the problem even if it means running a deficit by taking out a loan. When the roof leaks or the car brakes fail, the responsible decision is to fix the problem. Setting out buckets to catch the drips in the living room or driving slowly, and avoiding streets with stop signs is irresponsible. If the necessary cash is not at hand, and if the credit rating permits it, borrowing money to fix the problem, in other words running a deficit, is the responsible way to proceed. Voters may agree or disagree with proposals to run a deficit or a surplus. The national budget’s bottom line in itself is arguably less important than the budget considerations, on both the revenue and the expenditure side, that result in the bottom line. The answers we ought to seek from those who seek to represent us in Parliament for the next term should inform us about their assessment of the reality as they see it.
What is their assessment of the national infrastructure? Is it in good shape? Are there particular aspects of that infrastructure that are in need of attention? If so, what are these assets and their problems? What can or should the nation do to remedy these problems? What are the priorities? What are the costs? The question of financing is secondary to the question of need. This does not mean, however, that the question of financing does not merit being debated. How should the nation pay to fix the problem? Should we raise taxes? Should we introduce new taxes or user fees? Should we borrow the needed funds to be repaid in future years? Debating the merits of a deficit and the terms for repaying it should be the last item in a discussion on the national infrastructure, not the leading one.

Something’s not right with oil cost He did apologize for making the taxpayer pay for an election at a $200 a plate fundraiser. Who was present at that fundraiser – the average Joe? As for our Prime Minister, Mr. Stephen Harper, passing Bill C-51 removing a number of our rights and freedoms: is he serving the general public? I can understand Mr. Harper favouring the oil and gas industry, considering that his father was an executive in such a company and he may have grown up in a way that made him think every person grew up that way. But as a learned economist should he not know that a diversified economy is a strong one?
But I guess in his opinion using tax dollars, your and my taxes to the government, to give tax credits/incentives to companies that recorded billions of profits after all possible deductions, is a good way to spend your and my money and increase our debt as a country. The subsidies, of about $1.4 billion per year, to oil and gas companies amounted to about $38 per year for every person living in Canada or about $50 per year for everyone of the roughly 25 million taxpayers in this country. That enabled oil companies to record record profits for years.

Leaders’ tactics Rod Taylor will not be running in Skeena this time around. The leader of the Christian Heritage Party from the Bulkley Valley has a different riding to race in. And that’s in an Ottawa area riding. Like the movie based on the National Geographic’s film, Killing Jesus, the progressive left has being do-
ing much the same for the past 100 years. Do you remember when Justin Trudeau told pro-life politicians they could not run Liberal; did you ever think, as I did, he was trying to con the women to vote for his lack of Trudeau-mania.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Aurora LNG Project
Open House and Invitation to Comment Aurora LNG (Proponent) is proposing to construct and operate the Aurora LNG Project (proposed Project), a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility and marine terminal for the export of LNG. The proposed Project would be located on the southeast corner of Digby Island near Prince Rupert, BC. The proposed Project would export up to 24 million tonnes per annum of LNG. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act and is also undergoing a substituted environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve the Application Information Requirements. The Application Information Requirements will specify the studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be provided by the Proponent in its Application. The EAO has now received draft Application Information Requirements from the Proponent and invites comments on this draft. To provide information about the Application Information Requirements, EAO invites the public to attend an Open House. The Open House is scheduled as follows: at: North Coast Meeting & Convention Centre 240 – 1st Avenue West, Prince Rupert on: Wednesday, September 23, 2015 from: 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. There are 30 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the draft Application Information Requirements. The comment period will begin on September 1, 2015 and end on October 1, 2015. All comments received during this comment period in relation to the Application Information Requirements will be considered.
The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment. After taking public comments into account, EAO will finalize the Application Information Requirements and issue them to the Proponent.

They’re small town people too New Salvation Army captains are enjoying Terrace’s friendliness and love helping others By MARGARET SPEIRS THE CITY’S new Salvation Army captains intend to stay around for a long time. Deb and Jim VanderHeyden started July 1, taking over from majors Lucy and Warrick Pilgrim, who were here for a year. “We plan on becoming majors in Terrace,” said Deb, adding they’ve been captains for nine years and have another six years to go to become majors. “We find people here very friendly and we come from a small community so we’re comfortable speaking to people on the street.” They like that a lot of people were born here and still live here; in their previous locale of Fort St. John, people had mostly migrated in from elsewhere. Before Fort St. John, they were in Quesnel. The VanderHeydens are from Wireton, Ontario, known for Wireton Willie, the groundhog who predicts whether the end of winter is coming soon or not on Groundhog Day. They got involved in the Salvation Army after becoming Christians and when they went to the Sally Ann, met a “proper English gentleman” who greeted them, talked to them and was a genuine person which made a real difference to them. “He certainly has given us a model to follow,” said Deb. They have been married 29 years and have one son, who lives in Ontario with his wife and kids and the rest of their relatives. The emergency response truck is new to them; they took it to the Riv-

erboat Days fireworks, handed out hot chocolate and met many people. They’re taking a look at what the community needs and filling them “We’re still seeing where we fit in. Our heart is with children.” They’re looking to connect with children and let them know that the Salvation Army is a safe place to go and not too far away. A new program is ready to roll out where kids watch a DVD, are presented with a situation, and then get into groups to decide what to do in that situation and then watch it to see what others have done. It’s Biblical-based learning and they’ll learn to pray and their responsibilities to each other The Christmas hamper program here is more than twice as big as in Fort St. John with last year’s number of recipients around 500 here compared to 200. The client numbers have increased over the years and there are a lot of working poor who are working but just need that hand up to get through Christmas. “It’s amazing when we can be that hand up,” says Deb. The couple is looking forward to our winters here, which they believe are better than Fort St. John, where winters started at the beginning of October and didn’t let up until the end of April. They say people who’d like to come by and have coffee with them are welcome any day, except Monday which is their day off. The Sunday church service is at 11 a.m. in the newly painted church hall on Kalum Street.
Mayors’ challenge new for 35th Terry Fox Run By MARGARET SPEIRS TERRACE MAYOR Carol Leclerc is joining the Terry Fox Mayors’ Challenge and challenging regional mayors to do the same. This year marks 35 years since Terry Fox began his Marathon oh Hope to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research after he lost a leg to the disease. Unfortunately, he had to quit when the cancer returned and he later died. The mayor of his hometown Port Coquitlam, B.C. challenged other mayors and communities to raise $1 for each resident. Here in Terrace that would raise $12,000. Leclerc challenged Prince Rupert mayor Lee Brain, Kitimat mayor Philip Germuth, Port Edward mayor Dave MacDonald, Smithers mayor Taylor Bachrach, Hazelton mayor Alice Maitland and New Hazelton mayor Gail Lowry at the Terrace city council August 24 meeting. Leclerc and council won’t be in the run
as the Union of BC Municipalities conference is that weekend but Leclerc did already make a donation of $25 by going to the city’s leisure services office and filling out a form. And residents should donate to the run for a very good reason. “If you have cancer, B.C. is the best province to have cancer [because] there’s so much research gone into it here in B.C. because of Terry Fox,” she said. Local run organizer Kim MacDougall said the other new addition this year is a change of route to make it easier to follow and more visible because of the “sea of people” walking or running the course. And the new route along the Millennium Trail will have options for how far participants want to go. “This is the nice flexible part: turning around where you want,” she said. Usually the run was 5 km or 10 km, this year there will be a sign at the 2.5 km mark so people know where to turn around for a 5 km run and the end at Frank Street will
be marked as 3.3 km, making 6.6 km the longest distance unless runners want to do the 5 km twice to get 10 km, she said. “I expect it to be a little bit busier,” said MacDougall, “and hoping more people show up and donate.” For those who want to donate but won’t be able to come out to the run, donations can be made at the sportsplex leisure services office or at any city office, she said. Or they can donate in the week after the run or donate online. Before the run, online pledges to runners can be made or runners can register online and then ask friends to pledge them. Terry Fox’s dream was $1 from every person in Canada,” said MacDougall, adding organizers here will try to raise $12,000 since the city has 12,000 residents. Volunteers get snazzy bright green tshirts this year and 35th anniversary shirts and vintage ones will be available to buy. A draw will be made for a trip for two anywhere Hawkair flies.

He’ll run two races for charity By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE’S JOE Pelletier tackling two half-marathons this fall to raise money for Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. Recovering from a minor foottendon injury in August, he “wasn’t quite ready to do another marathon yet,” he said. He will race the Vancouver Rock N’ Roll half marathon on October 25. Three weeks later on November 25, he will race the Las Vegas Rock N’ Roll half marathon. With the races in Vancouver and Vegas, Pelletier says part of his reason is it’s “a good excuse to go on vacation.” But it is also to raise money for a good cause. In the past few years, he has raised $1,600 for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and almost $1,900 for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. This year he runs for the Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. His fundraising campaign kicked off with a $1,000 donation from Rio Tinto in Kitimat, and his goal is to raise $3,000. “I don’t have any personal connection [to the cause],” said Pelletier. “I wanted to do a children’s charity, and I have a lot of connections in the hockey world… It just seemed like a natural fit.”
Pelletier wasn’t always a runner. In fact, he only started five years ago, inspired by his friend and runner Richard Kriegl, who he bumped into five years ago after Richard had just finished a 19-kilometre run. Pelletier told Richard he wished he could do that, and Richard told him “you can!” “I started running that day,” Pelletier said. “Those words really are powerful words. It really inspired me.” Pelletier started running on Howe Creek “where no one could see,” and slowly graduated to local trail races and then marathons. In 2014, he decided to run for charities and “do some good with all this.” “It’s a selfish thing, running 300 kilometres in a month, it’s a lot of time wasted in many ways,” he said. “[I wanted to] do a good thing and set a good example for my nephews, the kids, and whoever is watching.” Pelletier is training in Terrace until the middle of October, running 70 to 80 kilometres a week, and looking for donations as he builds toward the races. He has Canucks memorabilia and gift certificates for a massage from the Revolution Health and Wellness to randomly giveaway to supporters. To donate, find “The Charity Runner” on Facebook.

NATHAN CULLEN is midway through his fifth federal election campaign as a candidate for the New Democratic Party. Born in Toronto, the oldest of two sons to immigrants from Ireland, Cullen was educated at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo,
Ontario and at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario. He then worked in Africa and South America for non-profit
groups who had the goal of creating valueadded industries instead of relying on the export of raw resources.
Cont’d Page A12 FALL 2015 - 4FOR3 September 8 - October 17, 2015
FIRST ELECTED in 2004 as the New Democratic Party Member of Parliament for SkeenaBulkley Valley and returned with increasing margins of victory in 2006, 2008 and 2011, Nathan Cullen enters the 2015 federal election as one of the more experienced veterans of his party’s candidates. And just 43, Cullen’s national status has risen thanks to his third-place finishing in the party’s 2012 leadership race, won by current NDP leader Tom Mulcair, to replace the late Jack Layton. With those kinds of credentials and the possibility of a NDP national victory Oct. 19 Cullen, provided he’s re-elected, could reasonably expect a seat, and even a senior one, at the cabinet table. But he doesn’t hesitate when asked if he considers himself a professional politician. “Oh, no. Not at all,” says Cullen, adding he was first thinking of running for a Smithers municipal council seat in 2003 before someone told him to set his sights higher. “I was told it was a good idea and that I would win and that’s why I should go federal. I thought that was pretty audacious.” Audacious or not, Cullen with a good oldfashioned grassroots campaign, gathered 13,706 votes compared to incumbent Conservative Andy Burton’s 12,434 in 2004. Cullen does acknowledge there is the possibility of getting drawn into the political life to the point it is considered a career or a job. “I feel you should be called to it,” he said. “I see some people in politics who become very attached to their position and feel important and that’s dangerous.” “[Politics] is a vehicle to get things done. [But] I see good people, though, over time, drifting away.” There’s also the chance of rationalizing tiny transgressions to the point taking part in larger ones becomes accepted, said Cullen.

Resource use occupies hopeful In many ways, Cullen says what he did on those two continents mirrors what’s happening in the northwest, something that became apparent when he moved to Smithers in the late 1990s to first run the volunteer Katimavik program in that community and then to become a consultant. “If you only export raw resources, you’re always beholden to whatever the market calls,” he said. It’s a theme people of all political persuasions will bring up in conversation, Cullen continues. “They want to know why we’re sending out everything raw now,” he said. It’s a message Cullen has also WARM used in becoming one of the key figures opposing Enbridge’s plan to build the Northern Gateway pipeline, a project that would ship diluted crude oil Displacement from Alberta to a marine export terPower Output minal at Kitimat for reWeight fining overseas. * Power head only While Cullen has concentrated on the potential for environmental damage from a leak or break in the planned $6.5 billion pipeline which would run 1,177 kilometres across Alberta and B.C. and of 211 the potential forMS oceangoing crude-carrying

Campaign notebook WILL B.C. count this time? That’s the question asked each federal election and often, it seems, that when the polls close in B.C., the overall result has already been decided. This time things could be different because of a much tighter race. And B.C. will elect six more MPs this time – 42 compared to 36 last time.

Fire guts Gossen subdivision garage A COUPLE lost 60plus years of items in a blaze that gutted their three-door garage in Gossen Sept. 9. A luxury car, business items and trophy hunting items were destroyed in the fire so hot that it was the heat and smoke that caused the damage, not the flames themselves, according to Thornhill fire chief Rick Boehm. “It felt quite like an oven,” said Boehm. “It held all that heat.” The steel structure of the garage, which was about 65 feet long by 40 feet wide and about 20 feet high, was even damaged. “Steel doesn’t like being hot,” he said. “There was some visible structural steel bends and flexes that could be seen the next day.” The fire, reported by the homeowners after a family member was awakened by what sounded like explosions at 3 a.m., isn’t suspicious and the cause may never be known due to the extreme heat, and extent of the damage, said Boehm. Rain was coming down heavily and witnesses saw steam and smoke coming from the cracks and seams in the building and flames coming from the upper roof vents, he added. They did the right
thing by leaving the building’s doors and windows closed, said Boehm. No foliage was at risk of burning and neither was the residence
as the garage was on the opposite side of the large parcel of land, he added. When the 11 firefighters arrived, they set out to ventilate the
building by using a chainsaw to cut a hole in the side of the building and also opened a door so fresh air could push the smoke out of the building.
Firefighters were at the fire for about twoand-a-half hours. “It was a high dollar loss fire but the fire was self-mitigating almost,” said Boehm, referring
to the confined space the fire was in. “Most of the fire snuffed itself out.” One firefighter remained there afterward to keep an eye out
for any smouldering or flare-ups, and then someone’s there to account for who came and left until the insurance adjusters arrive, said Boehm.

Jury chosen
A JURY was selected in Kamloops Sept. 8 to decide the fate of Damien Taylor, who is accused of murdering his 16-year-old girlfriend who had been living in Terrace. C.J. Fowler, originally from the Hazeltons and who had been going to school here, was found dead in December 2012 in Kamloops. She was in that city visiting friends, having travelled by bus from Terrace. Just over a year later, Taylor was charged with her murder. Crown prosecutor Alex Janse said the trial is scheduled to start Sept. 28. Twenty Crown witnesses are expected to testify in the threeweek trial. - Courtesy Kamloops This Week.

Mine search goes airborne A PROVINCIALLYFINANCED non-profit group is spending $2.4 million to better identify mineral deposits between Terrace and Smithers. Using a helicopter equipped with magnetic survey equipment, Geoscience BC will then make its information freely and equally available to exploration companies. According to Robert Quartermain, a board director of Geoscience BC and the chairman and CEO of Prentium Resources that owns the in-development Brucejack gold mine, it’s the type of project that can provide a lift when going through a slowdown in the commodity market such as the one currently happening throughout global world. “When metal prices resume, and there is access to risk capital, then it will bring more people into the area and start to provide the exploration work, and impact on the economy,” he said. The helicopter is being supplied from Precision GeoSurveys of Vancouver and will be kept at the Quantum hangar and flown by a Quantum pilot. Precision is in charge of the Northwest portion of the project which will use about 30 per cent of the total available money, said Geoscience BC VP for minerals and mining Bruce Madu. Flying overhead, an asparagus-shaped sensor attached to a helicopter relays data from the reflective reactions of the electromagnetic waves. “Having a tool like the geophysical tool we are using here, it can see deeper into the ground,” said Quartermain. “All kinds of radio waves are constantly hitting the earth, and so what this electromagnetic survey does is take those magnetic waves that are coming from the sun and hit the earth, and then they will react with the earth differently and this goes along and interprets those waves,” he said. The project will also conduct geochemical studies and pull together existing data with the expectation of stimulating claim-staking and

other exploration work. In total, the airborne portion of the project will cover 6,700 square kilometres of the northwest. Some information is already known about mineral deposits in the survey but this project is to fill in any gaps. “This high-resolution airborne magnetic survey will provide the public with much more detailed information about the area’s mineral potential compared to the data that are currently available,” Quartermain. Quartermain is one of 14 volunteer directors of Geoscience’s board. Founded in 2005, Geoscience BC has received more than $50 million from the provincial government to spend on projects throughout B.C. This particular project builds on work done in the area in 2008 by Geoscience BC with the assistance of the Bulkley-Nechako regional district and the Northern Development Initiative Trust. That work, also airborne, involved flying defined routes of between two and four kilometres apart. This time the spacing will be 250 metres, providing much more detailed information for companies. Geoscience BC will also hold information sessions with local communities as the project progresses.

Bernard Champoux September 25, 1938 - September 06, 2015 On September 6th, our husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and great grandfather Bernie, passed over from this world to the next part of his journey. The last few years of his life here on earth were a struggle and we celebrate his release while feeling deeply the loss of his presence. Bernie’s life was filled with family. Bernie and the love of his life, Fay, were married for 57 years. In that time they created a clan that included 3 daughters and a son, 12 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. They were closely connected to an extended family that often included friends who became family. Bernie loved gatherings of the clan, Fay’s cooking, card games, dogs, horses, fishing, and enjoyed a very successful career as a heavy equipment operator. Bernie will be remembered as a generous, dedicated, stubborn, loving, mischievous man with a warm smile and a big heart. His family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Cairnsmore for their loving care of Bernie in the last months of his life. No services are planned at this time, but a celebration of his life will take place at a later date. Online condolences can be posted at www.hwwallacecbc.com

High level biathlons possible By JACKIE LIEUWEN THE TERRACE Rod and Gun Club’s bike and precision shooting biathlon range is now built up to competitive standards and the club is contemplating hosting regional and provincial competitions in the next few years. “In the last two and half years, we’ve had over $60,000 worth of donated equipment time, equipment, supplies, and labour, to build our biathlon range to a level where we can host provincial or national events if we wanted to,” said Chris Schooner, club biathlon chair. “We are building our training and support teams before we take this big step. We are seeking more volunteers... Hopefully within a year or two we can be hosting regional and possibly provincial events.” Schooner says the club plans to send six or more Terrace competitors to Smithers and Burns Lake biathlons this winter. “We have a lot of interest, in fact the race con-
tinues to grow each year,” he said of the mountain bike biathlon. The fifth annual Terrace Mountain Bike Biathlon is October 10, and the club is offering free training every Wednesday and Saturday until the race, but people should bring a bike and helmet. “We strongly encourage people to give it a try,” said Schooner. Racers will speed around varying lengths of bike track, then stop at the shooting range, lay down, and shoot five rounds at five targets. Different age ranges repeat the cycle a different number of times. Schooner says everyone starts together, and races end with a final loop on the bikes, racing for the finish line. The event is open for ages six and up, with a special “Biathlon for Fun,” for children ages six and seven. “We invite and strongly encourage anyone interested JACKIE LIEUWEN PHOTO to come out to watch and cheer on the competitors,” AMGÈLE LE Néel and Dirk Batjer take aim during a shooting portion of a mountain bike biathlon training session held at the Terrace Rod and Gun Club last Saturday. said Schooner.
Remote controlled cars draw fair crowd By JACKIE LIEUWEN SPECTATORS LINED the fence, cheering as remote controlled miniature cars jumped and flipped around a newly-prepared track during the Skeena Valley Fall Sept. 5. It was the first full public viewing of the track located on the Thornhill Community Grounds and coordinator Rod Steele from the Northwest R/C Club said the event drew a lot of young people and that there was high interest during freestyle events. “Parents were saying they couldn’t get the kids away,” he said. “I think next year there is going to be people coming down to watch that because there was lots of ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ and cheering.” Steele says the open house drew quite a number of people, but there was a misunderstanding as a lot of people thought cars were provided and didn’t bring their own. There were a few cars that people could use, but with each worth between $350 and $1,300 he says people will have to bring their own at future events. The freestyle event gave three minutes for each of the six racers involved to put on the best show they could. The club got the crowd involved, with five judges holding up numbered score cards after each run.
During racing events, 15 cars sped around the track, with officials counting how many laps they made in a sixminute timeframe. Looking into the future, Steele says one goal is to get a storage container to use for a drivers’ stand. They also plan to improve the track’s public address system. “And we’re going to step up the freestyle: we’re going to have more jumps and more entries. [With all the interest] I don’t think that is going to be a problem at all,” Steele said. Eight people at the races signed up for club membership last weekend. In freestyle, Andrew Kennedy took first, Carter Steele second, and Jeremy Dewalt third. In the beginner class, Dylan Nunes won first, Levi Leonardes won second, and Trey Kennedy won third. In the 4x4 buggy class, Craig Mills won first, Ken McColl second, and Rod Steele third. In 4x4 short course A, first went to Ken McColl, second to Craig Mills, and third to Andrew Kennedy. In 4x4 short course B, first went to Lenay Smith, second to Dylan Nunes, and third to Trey Kennedy. In the two-wheel drive buggy class, Craig Mills won first, Ken Mccoll won second, and Rod Steele third. In two wheel drive short course, Ryan Titcom won first, Dave Essay won second, and Mike Prest third.

Canucks alumni to play here By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE HOCKEY players will face off against a Canucks alumni team at the Terrace Sportsplex September 26. Canucks alumni will line up for a meet and greet at 4:30 p.m. and the puck drops at 7 p.m. Put on by the Terrace Peaks Gymnastics Club, the game is meant to raise money for improvements to the club’s facility adjoining the Thornhill Community Centre. The improvements list includes building new change rooms, men’s and women’s washrooms, and a new lobby and office area. “It should be a fun night,” said Terrace Peaks manager Keira Almas. Event coordinator Kasey Lewis says Peaks expect more than 1,000 people to attend and are hoping to raise $30,000 to $35,000 for the building. The game also provides a chance to honour a roster full of dedicated community-supporters. The Terrace players were nominated and selected by local coaches Steve Smyth
A
and Bob Park, chosen for their abilities and community involvement. “There were some very difficult choices to be made. A lot of people in Terrace are very giving of their time and resources in supporting the community,” said Smyth. “These players will not only provide an entertaining hockey game for the fans, but perhaps more importantly, these people help make Terrace a better place to live through their contributions in sponsorships and volunteer time.” On the local roster are goaltenders Tony Pavao, Paul Gillis and Dave Scott with defencemen Larry Nordstrom, Trevor Gibson, Kevin Fletcher, Travis Lamming, Trevor Johnson and Darcy Mallett. Forwards are Shane DeJong, Mitch Shinde, Rob Bell, Russ Sparkes, Brent Webb, Colin Parr, Lazlo Ratkaj, Ryan Watson, Kelly Gingles and Chris Culp with Cory Killoran on standby. Tickets are available at All Seasons and the club is still looking for volunteers. Anyone interested can contact the gymnastics club at 250-638-0447.
metaphor in the wrong hands is a dangerous literary device. “The Skeena is the girl everyone wants to date. Or has dated,” writes the editor of Salmon & Steelhead Journal, Pat Hoglund. “She is beautiful and voluptuous and has been around the block a time or two. Not that that’s a bad thing, because she’s like an old pro that constantly satisfies her customers.” Riffing on the comparison, Hoglund describes Terrace’s own Kitsumkalum River as the Skeena’s “smoking hot little sister… a river most people don’t know exists.” He might have added that after his piece, the number of the Skeena’s “hot little sister” will be known to a lot more fishers. Before getting down to the business of cranking out the kind of formulaic kissand-tell articles that fill almost every fishin’ ‘zine, Hoglund milks the metaphor one more time. “The past spring I found myself fishing for steelhead with longtime steelhead guide Stan Doll. He’s been guiding on the Kalum since guides were first allowed. He admits most of his clients come to fish the Skeena, but when given the opportunity to walk down the hall and knock on her little sister’s door they are immediately smitten. That’s what happened to me.”I’m guessing that my old friend Stan offered Hoglund a cut rate, or a free trip in trade for a magazine feature advertising his skills, at lease that is common quid pro quo in

running the Kalum in the spring because he was convinced it put a strain on steelhead, both ripe and newly returned adults, as well as juvenile salmonids. Former fisheries officer, John Hipp, agreed and was adamant on the issue. In past columns, I have suggested that a line be painted on the Highway 16 Bridge abutment reflecting mean summer flows, and that there be a power boat ban at all times when this line was visible. As it is now, there are far too many jet boats on the lower river in Spring. Last spring I had 11 sleds pass on one afternoon as I fished a run above Dutch Valley. Four photos of fishermen holding up suffocating steelhead, 3 of which are ripe, mar “For the Love of the Kalum.” In fact, the whole magazine is filled with shots of guys gripping and grinning as they hold up gasping fish. This kind of mugging got old decades ago. The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife forbids such shenanigans, and are wise to do so. If it takes these kind of pix to sell fishing magazines, it’s a sad reflexion on sports fishers. Reading the story under discussion leaves one with the clear impression that the Kalum is full of big steelhead. As an antidote to this misleading idea, I offer the truth, substantiated by tagging programs. The Kalum has a modest run of steelhead, predominantly summer runs, that are ill served by the fact that people can still fish for them with worms and eggs.

Action call issued MORE ACTION is needed to find and convict those responsible for the murder of women across the country and more effort is needed to solve the cases of women who have gone missing, a group from Manitoba said while on a stop in Terrace last week. At the same time, the Walkers for Missing and Murdered Women said more communication is needed with police investigators assigned to the cases. That’s the goal of the group, numbering approximately seven, who started out from Manitoba in late July. It was met in Terrace Sept. 7 by a group of local supporters, was hosted at a dinner the next night and left Terrace the morning of Sept. 9, ending their journey that afternoon in Prince Rupert. “We need people to police the task force and know what’s going on with the files or are they collecting dust somewhere,” said group member Brenda Osborne, adding that
