Homeless face rain and cold By JOSH MASSEY CHRIS GEE stands with a homeless friend in the woods between the Terrace law courts and the Terrace Sportsplex. The friend, who prefers not to be photographed or identified, met Gee at the now-closed Skeena Bicycle Service a couple years ago when Gee helped him get a second hand bike fixed up. They came together on a cold, wet mid-September morning to talk about the health and safety of the homeless population in Terrace. The friend points into the woods, groves of bushes and grass that most people wouldn’t pay much attention to, where wet garbage and remains of campfires become visible. And within this array, soggy tents where the homeless sleep. Just a day earlier, the man and his homeless friends were told by a City of Terrace staff member driving a city truck to vacate a spot over on Lazelle Ave. where they had tents set up. “We were up there for a month and they came over yesterday morning at around eight. And they said ‘you guys have until 2 o’clock to get your stuff out of here, otherwise we are going to throw it in the garbage’.” Gee, an instructor at Northwest Community College, has a problem with people in his community living in squalor because of a lack of social housing and shelter space. As an avid cyclist, Gee cruises Terrace Mountain trails regularly and is always saddened to see garbage, used needles and to witness the violence that happens so close to institutions of civic stability on Kalum St. “All I thought, was, this is the health unit right there,

CHRIS GEE scouts out evidence of makeshift shelters close to the law courts and Terrace Sportsplex. the courthouse is right there, those are two bastions of health and well-being in society, or they are meant to be,” Gee reflected. “But on the very same block there are people suf-
fering from deep addiction. There is violence that happens in here, and there are people who are suffering, right in the same block.” Life in the wet woods is not fun for Gee’s friend who,
like many others, has recurring substance problems and deep psychological trauma that dogs him every day. He says $30,000 from a federal residential school compensation program last-
ed him two months. “It’s tough. When I’m laying in the bush soaking wet, I sometimes want to give up. That hurts,” he said. The man’s’ sense of humour, good spirit and intel-
ligence keeps him hopeful of finding a home and job, but he says the majority of those he knows in the woods will never be rehabilitated.

Benefits alliance waits for gov’t word NORTHWESTERN GOVERNMENTS who want a share of provincial tax revenues from large industrial projects came away with what was termed a produc-
tive meeting with a provincial cabinet minister. “We had an excellent turn out from local governments and it was a productive meeting,” said Stacey Tyers,
a City of Terrace councillor and chair of the KitimatStikine regional district, of a 90-minute session with Peter Fassbender whose cabinet portfolio takes in local
governments. Tyers is also chair of the Northwest B.C. Resource Benefits Alliance, the collection of 21 local governments in the region pushing
for a share of provincial resource project taxation. It was formed in 2014 and expanded this year.

Sewer work underway the new Holiday Inn Express Hotel which is under construction adjacent to the access road parallel to the highway, will also receive the service and is one of the major tax providers for the service. There are currently 48 total buildings to be hooked into the system and Tooms says there are 22 other businesses and residences that can also tie into the system, the bulk of which are located on River Drive and on the southeast section of Paquette Ave. behind the Northern Motor Inn. So far it is the businesses on the strip that will benefit from the extension and who will also have to pay for it through increased tax over the next decade or so. The $3.2 million sewage project is underway to install a new pipe through the first part of the commercial corridor, and together everyone in the service area will pay $160,000 per year over a 15 year project period with the other half coming from the federal government. Each persons tax amount depends on the assessed value of the property. There are several different contracts for the work, the lift station being one, and the rest of the pipe laying, said Thornhill regional district director Ted Ramsey.
By JOSH MASSEY SPECIALTY CREWS from out of town were in the lower portion of Thornhill recently pushing pipe underneath Hwy16 and other roads as the first stage of a large project to extend a sewer line through the commercial corridor of the community. Anticipated for many years, and lobbied for extensively, the extended sewer line offers not only businesses but also some residences the opportunity to detach from cumbersome septic systems, which have held Thornhill back from being as attractive to investors as it otherwise might have been. Now some of the Thornhill residents have the opportunity to connect into the expanding sewer system, which is being installed by the Kitimat-Stikine regional district in the Thornhill business core. “The mainline goes up the street, and we are saying because we have a little bit of capacity left, if the properties on the other side of the street want in, you know, we will let them in, and it reduces the impact because they all start contributing to that tax requirement,” said public works director for the regional district Roger Tooms. The big building at the Skeena Landing location is the first in a row of businesses. On the far end.

Fire and rescue service returns to airport A FIREFIGHTING and rescue capability is returning to the Northwest Regional Airport with the rental of a fire truck which will then be replaced by two new ones just ordered. Airport employees are now being trained to operate the rented vehicle which is to go into service Oct. 2, says airport manager Carman Hendry. That date meets a federal timetable to have a fire truck at the airport because of the growth in the past several years of the number of passengers using the facility. Two additional employees have been hired as the airport meets its firefighting and rescue obligations. The airport is meeting two requirements by ordering two new firetrucks: they need one truck for a firefighting and rescue capability because of the growth in passenger traffic, and they need a second vehicle because the number of scheduled flights has increased, said Hendry. The rented fire truck they are using temporarily comes from the Prince George airport and the airport here is paying a nominal monthly fee of $100 and has put in a new engine. “It’s a good arrangement. It’s what airports do – help each other,” said Hendry. “If we had to rent one from a company, the cost would be $4,000 a month.” The two new vehicles come from an American manufacturer called Oshkosh and Transport Canada is covering the cost of just over $1.74 million. The airport is adding a few options such as backup cameras at its own expense. Hendry said the fire trucks should be in Terrace within 300 days, enough time to construct a two-vehicle bay addition to the airport’s maintenance building. Transport Canada is covering that cost as well, and the airport has already sent out a request for construction proposals, he said.
“Our goal is to have it ready by next September and having the shelter attached to the maintenance building is just more efficient,” Hendry added. While the federal government is covering the initial capital cost of the trucks and shelter, all ongoing expenses are the responsibility of the airport. To cover that, the airport is charging the airlines a fee. “It will be based on the exact cost per passenger to supply the service, and will be reviewed every six months and adjusted to the passenger volume,” said Hendry. The rental and the two new vehicles can each be operated by one person and will have the capability to lay down a foam path from an aircraft’s exit door for passengers to exit safely. Hendry said the airport will continue to rely on the services of the Terrace and Thornhill fire department and other emergency agencies. “The response and participation of these groups continue to play a critical role in any emergency situation. There is no substitute for the amount of training and professionalism these people provide in our community,” he said. Hendry called the addition of a fire and rescue capability an exciting move for the airport. More and more companies are inquiring as to the airport’s firefighting and rescue capability and it will help in marketing the airport, he said. The airport once had its own firefighting and rescue department with full-time firefighters when it was a federally-operated facility but it was eliminated when the federal government turned over small airports to local authorities in the 1990s. New federal regulations based on passenger numbers were then developed and it is these regulations the Northwest Regional Airport is now following because of its growth over the past several years.

Hoping to encourage more to vote By JOSH MASSEY CONSIDERING HER life’s pursuit as a cultivator of edible greens on a community-wide scale, Jeannie Parnell is matching the colour of that enterprise with her decision to run as a Green party candidate in the Skeena-Bulkley Valley riding in this federal election. “I come from a family of nine, and my mom is a community gardener, we kind of grew up having to tend a garden,” said the Prince Rupert resident last week while she was in Terrace to attend a community health workshop. Her work in the field of community health has taken her through community gardening projects in Vancouver such as helping organize the Vancouver Native Health Intergenerational Garden Project, and as a community health consultant through her non-profit agency Salmon Berry, in Prince Rupert. Parnell wasn’t planning on running for the Green party in this election and doesn’t like the connotation of the word politician to begin with. It was only through meeting Green party members at various functions in Prince Rupert that she was encouraged to become a candidate, despite not having done an apprenticeship in politics.
“I was coaxed into this; they asked me if I wanted to be the Green party candidate and I said ‘no, I am okay,’ but then they said ‘we really need to hear the voice of people, the indigenous population, and you know a lot about the land and the environment,’” she recalls. Coaxed or not, Parnell is clear about her candidacy – she is not campaigning to be elected. She says she supports NDP incumbent Nathan Cullen and wants her own candidacy to become an encouragement to get more aboriginal people vote. “I do support some of his platforms,” she said of Cullen. As for the chances of unseating Cullen, Parnell said it is never going to happen. “He has won over the hearts and minds of the whole Bulkley Valley and I am fine with that,” she said. “He’s an awesome guy, but the reason I came into the race, is to get more indigenous people involved in the whole electoral system, to see me as an aboriginal woman running in the federal election, the younger generation will see a role model.” “Everybody should vote. Go out and participate in this democracy you have.”

Returning Canada to its principles By JOSH MASSEY

DON SPRATT wants to see an end to the societal trends that run contrary to the fundamentals the country was founded on.
Federal election history highlights
COMING UP on our 41st federal election, here’s a few highlights from Canadian election history. • Canada has had 40 federal general elections since Confederation, and there are currently 308 seats in the House of Commons. At the first election after Confederation in 1867, there were 181 seats to fill. • In the past 60 years, Canada has had nine minority governments: in 1957–58, 1962–63, 1963–
FEDERAL ELECTION Christian Heritage Party (CHP) candidate Don Spratt is running a campaign to reverse what he regards as societal trends all too prevalent in the modern world. “We started to decay many decades ago, and we have walked further and further away from the principles that made us great,” he says. “Now, we are moving into tyranny, and a lot of the tyranny is coming right out of the Supreme Court of Canada.” That is Spratt’s way of saying court decisions surrounding euthanasia, abortion, gay rights and some multicultural principles are running contrary to the foundations on which he says Canada was built. He sees euthanasia and abortion as contrary to the Biblical emphasis on the sanctity of life and what he describes as the “Christian moral consensus” which he believes was embedded in the legal system imported from England. “God is the author of life, it’s His jurisdiction. He has jurisdiction over when life begins, He brought us in, He can take us out,” said Spratt. “He has jurisdiction over what is marriage, one man and one woman.” At age 67, Spratt jokes that he is on the verge of becoming an old codger, but his philosophy is all about children, or more specifically the rights
65, 1965–68, 1972–74, 1979–80, 2004–05, 200608 and the government resulting from the October 2008 election. • In 1970, an amendment to the Canada Elections Act lowered the voting age and the minimum age to be a candidate from 21 years old to 18. • The number of registered political parties participating in Canadian general elections began to increase after new registration provisions came into
of unborn children, whose lives he says begin at conception in the womb. In the 1990s, his anti-abortion activism saw him locked up twice in jail, once for 18 days and another time for 30 days for breaking the law enshrined in Bill-48 Access to Abortion Services Act, the “bubble zone law,” which bans protests within about half a block of abortion clinics. “When the [provincial] NDP government came into power, they brought in the bubble zone law, the access to abortion services act, which is a unique law in all of North America... I’ve challenged that twice. The first time I went in with a cross, with a sign that says ‘you shall not murder.’” He also wore black electrical tape covering his mouth when he entered the bubble with the nine foot cross and sign. Spratt argued he was exercising his right to freedom of speech and expression, but the court system did not see it that way. Raising his family in Surrey, Spratt has worked a variety of manual labour jobs, machine-oriented and also as a paramedic in the mining industry, and he is an ordained minister.

EDITORIAL
Veterans IT was an announcement that can only resonate in a small city such as Terrace. After more than 20 years, Branch 13 of the Royal Canadian Legion has suspended, at least for now, its monthly dinners for veterans. The reason, according to legion officials, is twofold – the lack of volunteers to prepare the meals and the steady decline of the number of veterans, mostly those who served in the Second World War, who attend the dinners. In many ways, the two reasons are connected. Each year there are fewer veterans overall as the inevitable march of time reduces their numbers. And it’s no secret the legion itself has struggled for members and volunteers as connections based on family and friendships derived from Canada’s past wars are also broken by the passage of time. These dinners recognize not only the service of veterans but were also social occasions to note birthdays and anniversaries, significant milestones in the lives of people. Whether these dinners will return is an open question. The irony is there is now a new generation of veterans – the thousands who served in the former Yugoslavia and then in Afghanistan, the latter period being longer than the Second World War. Perhaps one day their service can also be recognized in some fashion as has been the case with the legion’s dinners of the past two decades.

Harper dodges issues, questions
n February, 1976, Canada accepted 6,000 Vietnamese refugees all processed dockside by two Canadian immigration officers. But Stephen Harper’s government has taken two weeks to even respond to citizens’ demand that more be done to help Syrian refugees. If it had not been for public pressure, and immigration minister Chris Alexander making a dunce of himself on TV, blaming the government’s foot dragging on the news media’s failure to highlight the refugee problem Harper might not have moved yet. He’s grudgingly decided we can bring in 10,000 refugees by the end of 2016. Too little too late. Harper and Alexander dither, cited the need to screen every refugee, even babies, children, and elderly, to the nth degree though often no personal documents still exist. From August 1977 to August 1979, Ian Hamilton was Chief Canadian Immigration Officer for all of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Burma. The only other officer was Scott Mullin, a 22-year-old Montrealer one

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI year out of university. Mullin and Hamilton interviewed nearly 1,000 refugees per day. Immigration criteria required that refugees speak English or French, have a relative in Canada, or have a desirable profession or trade. To watch Harper sitting idly in Toronto, trading puffball banter with Wayne Gretzky about hockey, teamwork, and leadership while Syrian babies are drowning angers me. To quote the Edmonton Journal, Harper’s exchange with Gretzky “couldn’t have been more contrived than kissing a baby in a doughnut
shop.” Harper idling his time seeking Gretzky’s endorsement, though, is far from the most exasperating part of this election campaign. There was Peter Mansbridge’s interview with each of the four leaders, in one case in a Delta meadow with Canada geese gabbling in the background and the occasional small plane droning low overhead. Harper trampled on Mansbridge’s halfspoken questions in his rush to reply, “Well, look ...” According to one national publication’s columnist, Harper uttered the words, “Well, look” 31 times during that half hour interview. For variety, Harper led with, “Well, let’s be clear ...”. Even before Harper’s trampling on Mansbridge’s questions, the man’s leadership style irked me. To learn some of his MPs have sat mute in parliament for four years contributing nothing yet collecting an annual salary of $163,700; that Peter McKay with the help of a few more MPs blocked one Conservative from voting on a bill they knew he would veto; that Harper campaigns alone to prevent cabinet ministers
S TANDARD
from possibly mis-speaking; that he expects senators to vote as he wishes rather than as their intelligence might guide them. Before public can attend one of Harper’s campaign speeches, they must be vetted by the party. Asked in question period if he had fired Wright, he said Wright had resigned. A few days later he said he had fired Wright. Asked by Mansbridge in the Delta meadow, “Did Wright resign or did you fire him?” Harper said, “I made a decision; Wright accepted it.” There’s a reply worthy of a prime minister. Makes me feel sorry for Charlie, Harper’s pet chinchilla. A vigorous debate is fun to watch; a debate where participants talk over each other, constantly interrupt, and fling out unsubstantiated “facts”, all managed by a moderator who fails to moderate, is a washout. Such was the September 17th Globe and Mail debate. I don’t tweet, nor did I watch more than a snippet of the Globe and Mail debate. The few minutes I tuned in were too irritating to claim my attention.

The Mail Bag Vote system needs a fix
KWANTLEN POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY PHOTO
STEPHEN HARPER visited Kwantlen Polytechnic University on the Lower Mainland in February.
Harper isn’t good for Canada Dear Sir: The October 19, 2015 federal election is the most important in Canada’s history. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservative government during their reign in power have gutted the Fisheries Act and the Navigable Waters Protection Act (in place since 1882), Canada’s
P
two most important pieces of environmental legislation implemented by previous federal governments and amended numerous times to become a fair and balanced legislation to manage and protect fish and marine animals, their habitat, aquatic ecosystems and water. This government has eroded democracy and has been
preoccupied with creating discourse and confrontation in our country more than any other government in our history. For example, the concentration of power in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) through unelected policy makers and advisors rather than through the federal cabinet. There has been no effort to
find a consensus on any legislation being debated in the House of Commons with the other elected political parties. There have been no annual meetings with the provincial premiers (a previous custom) in order to forge a stronger and more unified country.
Cont’d Page A8
Dear Sir: There are problems with our current electoral system/voting system. And that leads to voter apathy due to current non representation of voters and their wishes. Changes to our voting system over the last several years have made it more partisan. Those changes have been challenged in the courts and questioned by a number of experts and organizations. Here are some solutions I believe will help. Reinstate the amount of money received per vote for each candidate and have a lower spending limit. Have voters participate from an earlier age. In Germany, the age is 16 for local elections and could be lowered to 14 to be in line with the declaration of human rights for children. In Canada elementary and high school students have held mock elections with pretty much the same results as the general elections. We should overhaul our electoral system to bring it in line with more modern accepted practices used in several other countries. Or go toward the way other parties used in the past and count all non votes as a vote for the ruling party. Why is it sufficient to have 50 per cent plus one vote to break up our country, but to change the way elected members are chosen, as was the proposition with a referendum held in B.C. the voting approval had to be more than 60 per cent in all the ridings. Perhaps change the rules to have independents elected and have more minority governments. That’s something the old political parties appear to be very afraid of, but it does work in several other countries. Last but not least, no more omnibus bills with a number of surprises imbedded in them. And to then have all members of the governing party make all party members have to vote for it without having a choice. Is that democracy? Martin Holzbauer, Terrace, B.C.
Nukes, Aussies bedevil LNG projects
icking up where we left off last week, just how many of the 54 Japanese nuclear power plants that were in operation pre-Fukushima will be restarted? We can quickly write off 11 since they are either past their operational lifetime or the cost of bringing them up to the new safety standards would be prohibitive. Of the remainder, five have been approved for restart by the new regulatory authority, including the Sendai 1 reactor which fired up this month and Sendai 2 which is expected to follow suit next month. Nineteen others are still going through the exhaustive review process and the other 19 have yet to even apply. In June, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) unveiled its latest longterm energy mix projections for 2030. That report pegged nuclear power’s share of the country’s energy mix at 20-22 per cent, a figure that suggests they expect pretty well all of the 43 to be op-
erational by 2030. Let’s assume for the moment that is what happens. Where does that leave LNG imports? METI forecasts they will make up 27 per cent of the mix, down sharply from the 43.3 per cent number in 2013, the last year for which figures were available when the report was prepared. The interesting thing is that while the use of coal is also expected to fall, it will not be by near as much – from 30.3 per cent to 26 percent. And that, as mentioned last week, is simply because generating electricity using LNG is 11 per cent more expensive than using coal. None of the above is good news for companies considering building new LNG export plants such as the ones proposed in our region. Piling on the agony are plans by Chuba Electric Power, Tokyo Electric and Kansai Electric to install super efficient turbines in their gas-fired plants which will in turn reduce their demand for LNG. And if every Japanese utility
GUEST COMMENT
MALCOLM BAXTER was to convert to these turbines, by 2030 their LNG consumption would be cut by more than a third, more bad news. However that dark cloud is substantially based on those 43 nukes being restarted and frankly I have my doubts that will happen. The reason I say that is that in Japan even if its Nuclear Regulation Authority gives the green light, there is one more hurdle to clear and it is potentially a big
one – the local government (prefecture) must also approve. And with polls consistently showing that about two-thirds of Japanese are opposed to the resumption of nuclear power generation it strikes me as highly unlikely politicians will choose to ignore public sentiment and give their okay. So that’s good news, right? In terms of Japan’s future LNG demand, yes – or at least not as bad as it could be. But Japan is not the only market we need to be clamouring for our product to make B.C.’s many LNG projects take wing. The predictions of a Golden Age of Gas just a couple of years ago were very heavily based on forecasts of ever increasing demand from China. But that country is making a big move toward nukes, adding 11 new reactors in the last three years with another 24 under construction – and they don’t have to worry about pesky local governments vetoing those plans. Then there is the supply side
of the equation and that is where the skies become even darker. Over the next couple of years six LNG plants in Australia already under construction are going to come on line, adding tens of millions of tonnes of LNG. All those projects got the green light because they had locked up buyers for almost all of their production in long-term contracts. But those deals had the LNG price tied to that of oil and the International Energy Agency says that at current oil prices most will likely not be profitable. Shell has a stake in two of those projects as does Chevron while Woodside and Petronas are in one each. Make no mistake, I want the LNG projects in our region to go ahead. But even wearing my rosiest glasses, given all of the above I cannot see final investment approval coming for any of them any time soon.

City does mini-count Enough of Harper to nail down population
From Page A7
The Kelowna Accord, an effort by the previous Liberal Government to search for a more meaningful and collaborative relationship with our First Nations, was cancelled. The Canada Elections Act was changed to make it more difficult for the poor, aboriginal and less educated Canadians to be able to vote. Government scientists and employees have been muzzled, rarely speaking to the public. The Prime Minister has conducted very few press meetings during his tenure and limited the number of media questions to five or less. The government has tried every way possible to reduce the ability of special interest groups to carry out their volunteer public work, particularly if they interfere with economic development, are too political and some volunteers have even been labelled terrorists. Rarely has the public been asked their opinion on anything the Government has planned to do or carry out. It is no wonder more and more people do not vote. The long form census has been abolished, forcing communities such as Terrace to pay for data gathering to determine its population that is necessary to manage the affairs of our city. The secrecy surrounding the negotiation of the North Pacific Trade Agreement with Asian Countries is very scary. There is no allowance for public input or comment and does not even allow our Members of Parliament to be briefed on the negotiations. Those allowed to listen to the negotiations must turn in any notes before they leave. Leaked information indicates that our country’s control over the environment, health care, crown corporations and so on that could compete with private corporations or impede investment will be severally compromised. Budget cutbacks to most Government Departments has crippled their effectiveness and to carry out
the fiduciary responsibilities of the Federal Government. There has been no meaningful commitment by our Federal Government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as Canada’s contribution to stop climate change, the greatest threat to the survival of all life on earth. We are the laughing stock of the world because of our inaction. If you fish or enjoy the benefits of our clean rivers and lakes and are concerned about losing what most of the world no longer has, you need to vote for a new and different political party on October 19. We need a government who will renew the legislative clout of the Fisheries and Navigable Waters Protection Acts, re-hire the employees who were responsible for implementing various aspects of the two acts, carrying out habitat enforcement and management and renewing research programs on the great lakes and elsewhere in Canada along with larger budgets in order to execute meaningful programs and enforcement duties. Jim Culp, Terrace, B.C.
Freedom
Dear Sir: Brian Gregg, with his Biblically-inspired letter to the editor of Sept. 15, 2015, proposes that we revert to theocracy. Such governance would create for us a version of such beacons of liberty as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Russia, and all the historical detritus that plagued us before we finally understood the human invention of the divine and separated church and state. There is no virtue in religious governance, whatever theology, and there has been enough vice in it to recommend secular rule based on human rights alone. Included in that is, of course, the freedom to worship whatever, as well as to be free of having to. That’s what progress is. Dr. David Heinimann, Terrace, B.C.
Public Review and Comment
SO HOW many people live in Terrace anyway? According to the latest provincial count in 2014, the numbers have dipped, but city officials believe that’s wrong because of a large “shadow population” of people arriving for work. To test that theory, the city has hired Big River Analytics to go door to door, asking how many people live in each residence, using a sample of 300 houses to estimate what the total population living within city boundaries. “We wanted to confirm or go though an exercise that would support what our experience has been over the last couple of years which is one of an increase in population,” said city planner Tara Irwin. The last official survey number from the 2011 federal census was 11,486 with the provincial agency Stats BC placing an estimate in 2014 of 11,265 people, a drop of 1.7 per cent. Irwin said city staffers believe this is wrong. They believe BC Stats uses a flawed system for determining population that doesn’t account for temporary workers and others just moved to town. Irwin said the city has a pressing need for an accurate number to then determine projections of infrastructure needs. “We are currently in the early stages of undertaking a Trans-
portation Master Plan (TMP), which will help guide road network planning and road improvements within the city,” she said. “The need for a TMP is due to the current growth the city is encountering and anticipates,” said Irwin. The boots-on-theground operation involves city planners and others going door to door and asking “how many live here” and “for how long have they lived here”, in the hopes of proving their theory of a recent inflow. Irwin said the Stats BC methodology of counting electrical hookups and tallying health card addresses doesn’t account for those more recent arrivals. And she said the 2011 federal census could may not be a reliable starting point for future population estimates because it was taken at the tail end of a regional recession which forced people to move to find work. The next federal census won’t happen until 2016 and with a number of planning initiatives as well as the update to the official community plan underway, Irwin says a more recent solid population count is necessary. “The population figures are really the baseline for a lot of the work that we do around here,” she said. According to Big River Analytics owner Hannes Edinger, he

Politician’s role is to listen Parnell is from the Fraser Lake area east of here on Hwy16 towards Prince George and is a member of the Stellaten First Nation. She has lived in Vancouver and Toronto and has studied art history in England and France. In Vancouver, Parnell said she saw the effects of large companies buying land in lower income areas, thus raising property values and displacing poorer people. “I saw that when Expo 86 came to Vancouver, and they started moving all the people out and building up Yaletown, and building condominiums so all those people were displaced. It is happening in Prince Rupert, we have a lot of homeless people.” “Industry is not vital. I don’t agree with the big monster of the capitalism hand because I think it promotes greed and it promotes wastefulness, cutting services in order to grow productivity,” she said. As for how she sees the role of the politician, it is more about listening as opposed to commanding. “What is a politician, you know? They are bringing the voice of the people out, the grassroots people.” Parnell says the Green party wants to listen to the people before deciding what its policy is with
regards to the export of liquefied natural gas drawn from large-scale fracking operations in northeastern B.C., but she said that overall, any major development could only be negative to the northwest. As for the blockade by the Wet’suwet’en Unist’ot’en near Houston which is preventing pipeline companies from doing work on the First Nation’s asserted traditional territory, Parnell believes in the title rights of the group and that proper consultation never happened. “I believe we live in a democratic country and people have a right to exercise their own opinion, and if that’s how they want to do it, then I am okay with that. If that’s what gets the gas companies to the table, then that’s what it’s going to take,” she said of the Unist’ot’en action. Parnell also noted that other Wet’suwet’en groups support liquefied natural gas (LNG) development. “There’s a lot of people in Moricetown [near Smithers] who have accepted gas pipeline money and have spent it on various things, and there are a lot of people who really are okay with LNG coming through their territory,” she said.

Candidate has ethics code His views on abortion cannot be overstated, as he says it is the main plank of his political platform. While many see planned parenthood, or the right to abortion, as one of the staples of women’s liberation and a check against population explosion, Pratt sees it as murder. “The government is one of the biggest crooks in the country because they kill 300 children a day in this country. Over 100,000 a year. And they think it’s just fine. It’s murder.” “That’s the first plank in the platform really,” he said. “We are calling for people to vote their conscience on a non-partisan basis only for people who represent their values.” Normally a resident of Tumbler Ridge in the northeast, Pratt came to the northwest to run as the CHP candidate in Skeena – Bulkley Valley when party leader Rod Taylor, who lives in Telkwa, decided to run in the Ottawa area, where he hopes to raise the party’s profile. Had he stayed in Tumbler Ridge, Spratt said he would have supported Conservative incumbent Bob Zimmer in the Prince George-Peace River riding and not run against him because of values they
share. Spratt will be staying in Taylor’s home for the duration of the elections and this is the first time he has ever been in the northwest. When it comes to the potential for liquefied natural gas development in the region, Spratt says he has seen the industry up close, with many drilling licences approved near Tumbler Ridge. Though he says production has slowed there, the supply is still there and he thinks it needs to be exported. As for the opposition by the Wet’suwet’en Unist’ot’en to gas pipelines crossing their traditional territory near Houston, Spratt backs their right to protest, and he highlights his own experiences of being jailed for his pro-life campaigning. “I think all Canadians have a right to protest. Of course there are certain things that you can’t protest in this country without getting locked up.” But he firmly believes in shipping natural gas to the coast.s “I think all of their concerns should be taken into consideration,” said Spratt of the Unist’ot’en. “But I think at the end of the day it’s like a highway. They have to be able to make a decision and say it’s got to go in and this is where it’s got to go.”

School finds new location
Wednesday, September 30, 2015 Terrace Standard
By JACKIE LIEUWEN MOUNTAINVIEW CHRISTIAN Academy has found a new home, leasing the Skeena Valley Baptist Church on the west end of Terrace. The private school had been located in the annex of the St. Matthews Anglican Church but moved out in the summer because that building is up for sale. Classes have been held temporarily in September at the Terrace Pentecostal Assembly and Zion Baptist Church, while renovations take place at the Skeena Valley Baptist Church, says Mountainview school board chair Roger Ewald. Those renovations at the 5,165 square-foot, triangular-shaped Baptist church on Griffith Ave. were approved by the city September 14. The Baptist church building had been up for sale but church members have decided to keep the building and lease it to the school for five years, said Ewald. “They are leasing it to us just for the cost of operating the building… They have been really, very generous with us,” he said. Ewald says the school was interested in buying the Baptist church but the area is zoned light industrial. That left the school with two options – apply for rezoning, which would require a change to the official community plan and be inconsistent with the city’s wish to keep that area as light industrial, or apply for a temporary use permit to use the building as an educational facility. Mountainview was granted a three-year sitespecific amendment from the city and then received a development permit September 14. Ewald said renovations are being completed by volunteers with the goal of starting classes there October 1. They are improving the kitchen, fixing the wheelchair ramp, and adding fire separation walls, bathrooms and an emergency exit. The building has two floors and a 400 squarefoot mezzanine, and Ewald says the plan is to use the downstairs and mezzanine for elementary, and the upstairs church sanctuary area for high school. The school has 41 students this year with 12 in grades 8 to 12. The high school has a small trades program, offering power mechanics, metal work and basic carpentry, taught mostly in donated shop space in Thornhill. There is also a high school missions program, which offers a major international service project every other year. The school has two full-time teachers and one part-time aid for the high school. For elementary, they have four teachers (three full-time and one part-time) and for aids, two full-time, one part-time. Ewald said the school is about giving not only professional, academic instruction, but also moral and character guidance based on the Bible. He adds that they are thankful to the Anglican church which leased them the top two floors of its annex on Lakelse Ave. for the past seven years. He adds that Skeena Valley Baptist Church building is much more suitable as a school. “It’s a quieter location and safer,” he said, adding that the building also has fewer stairs, is more heat-efficient and has better classroom layout. The school plans to build a small playground and fence it this fall. The longterm plan is to find property on which to build a permanent school. Originally the Skeena Valley Baptist Church wanted to sell the building and then hold services in a rented location in downtown Terrace. But then staffing changed and they decided to lease out the building to Mountainview. “We all have common goals and it’s good to see that building getting used, instead of sitting there empty except for one hour a week,” said Baptist church board member Jim Andrei. Church members will also continue to hold services there on Sundays.

Cyclist inspired, awed by northern journey By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE CONSERVATION officer Ryan Gordon says the weeklong, 850-kilometre bicycling Cops for Cancer Tour de North journey was physically demanding but eye-opening. “We had three days of straight rain, and really cold temperatures, so it was pretty tough,” said Gordon of the journey which began Sept. 15 in Dawson Creek and ended a week later in Williams Lake. “We went from Powder King [Mountain Resort] to Mackenzie, and I think it was two degrees when we started our day, and it was raining… hard.” Gordon says his enjoyment of the trip varied based on weather, but he would do the ride again if he had the chance. “If the weather was good, it was a good day. If it was raining, it was a tough day, and it took a lot of mental motivation to keep going.” The tour, which is about fund raising to fight paediatric cancer, included a team of 15 cyclists who travelled side-by-side in two rows. Gordon says they kept each other going. “It took a lot of team work to make it through the day. You have to keep each other moti-

Arsons investigated TERRACE RCMP are seeking information about two arsons that occurred on Saturday September 19, within half an hour of each other. The first incident occurred shortly after 11 p.m. A back hoe parked in the lower parking lot closest to the river on Ferry Island was completely destroyed by fire. Its value was $60,000. The second incident occurred at 11:30 p.m. A mushroom depot
near the Thornhill Meat Market on Clark St. was extensively damaged by fire. A plastic jerry can with gasoline was used to deliberately set this fire.

Cyclist was inspired Three community riders also participated. Gordon said one of the community riders had done the tour five times before and another was biking in honour of his daughter who had recently passed away from cancer. “A lot of the individuals doing the tour had been personally been affected [by the cause],” said Gordon. “I got to hear a lot of stories about why some of them were doing the tour.” The cycling team left Dawson Creek September 15 and travelled 70 to 195 kilometres a day to arrive in Williams Lake seven days later. “It was neat seeing northern B.C. by bike. There is lots of nice scenery,” Gordon said. “In some of the communities we were going through, the leaves were changing and [there were] lots of folks out hunting.” Gordon says between Fort St. John and Chetwynd is rolling
country, and the Pine Pass also had quite a few hills. “It was definitely demanding terrain,” he said. Yet despite the physical demands, Gordon says he recommends the tour. The team stopped for visits in each community en route, and visited more than 12 schools, talking to students about the tour and the cause and collecting donations raised by the schools. At one school in Mackenzie, they raised money by selling fivefoot pieces of duct tape and then taped the prin-
cipal to the wall. “We rolled into the school and the principal was stuck to the wall with duct tape. It was pretty cool,” Gordon said. There were also junior team members, young cancer survivors, who cycled with the team through their home communities and stood with the team for school presentations. “It was a pretty moving experience,” Gordon said. “[We] met a lot of great people in all the communities, a lot of people who are really dedicated to the cause.” “I’m definitely more

aware of how cancer affects our communities and kids in our communities,” he said, adding that he also really saw how communities can come together to support families and children. “It was definitely an eye opener.” Gordon says he exceeded the $3,000 he was required to raise, collecting $6,300 in all. The tour raised $180,000 total, with 80 per cent going to pediatric cancer research and 20 per cent to Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp in Maple Ridge on the Lower Mainland for families with children battling cancer.

Beating case sent to gov’t lawyers By MARGARET SPEIRS A TERRACE RCMP officer seen in a video apparently hitting a youth who’s handcuffed and facedown on a downtown sidewalk is one step closer to possibly facing charges. The Independent Investigation Office (IIO), a civilian body that investigates police-related incidents of death or serious harm to determine whether an officer may have committed an offence, has finished its investigation and has forwarded its findings to the provincial Criminal Justice Branch. “We will be referring the case to the Criminal Justice Branch, which is the protocol when the Chief Civilian Director of the IIO finds that an officer may have committed an offence,” said IIO official Marten Youssef Sept. 25. Taken just before 10 p.m. May 28, 2014, the video shows an officer physically restraining a male person who is on the ground in front of a business on Lazelle Ave. The person is on his stomach on the ground and appears to be showing no resistance. The video shows several blows being administered to the back of the head of the person, one after the person was handcuffed with his arms behind his back. The video was first provided Sept. 25, 2014 to The Terrace Standard by an acquaintance of the person who filmed it and the newspaper does not know who filmed the video.
The officer was placed on administrative duty for the time being, meaning he is not on patrol duty. The other two officers present at the time remained on active duty. After viewing the video Oct. 7, 2014, Inspector Dana Hart, the commanding officer of the Terrace RCMP detachment, asked the IIO to step in and also ordered an internal RCMP investigation into the incident. He stressed that the two investigations are independent of each other. While Hart said the video, approximately two minutes in length, did not capture the specific chain of events leading to the arrest, he did say officers were responding to a 911 call. “There was a call about a fight between a male and a female on the 4700 block of Lazelle, behind the theatre,” said Hart. “There were two individuals and both were taken into custody.” The male did face charges after the arrest and at the time was under the age of 18 so he was not identified. An investigator with the IIO reviewed the file initially and then sent it to its chief civilian director for a decision. That person reviews all of the evidence and decides if an officer may have committed an offence and if so, then forwards the file to Crown lawyers for a charge assessment. After the case is turned over to Crown, the IIO is finished with it and does not issue a public report or provide
further information. If the civilian director decides no offence had been committed, a public report appears on the IIO website. In approving charges, Crown lawyers within the Criminal Justice Branch must be satisfied that an offence may have been committed, but also that the offence can be proven in court beyond a reasonable doubt. A two-part test is used to make that determination – the substantial likelihood of a conviction and that a prosecution must be required in the public interest.

Taking a break for mental health

DIANA PENNER with the college students who came out to her farm to learn about farming as part of an environmental studies course.
Students get hands-on experience with farming LOCAL FARMER Diana Penner is very thankful for the assistance given her by students of Northwest Community College’s Geography 110 class. On Sept. 21st, 13 students and their professor, Dr. Matthew Beedle, converged on the Brauns Island farm to experience first hand what happens at harvest time on a local farm. This field trip involved discussion about local food production in this region, followed by actual hands-on farming. Students spent an hour pulling tops, raking rows and picking and bagging the potato crop. Their course entitled “People and the Environ-
ment” is part of an Environmental Studies program which offers insight into how human activities, technology and population growth affect the health of natural ecosystems. The farm has had visits from students and the community in the past and continues to offer opportunities for education and involvement as they work together to strengthen our local food systems. Penner has been part of Terrace’s Community Supported Agriculture program, which offers residents the chance to pay up front for about 17 weeks of locally grown produce and other items, organized by the Kalum Community School Society.
I’M LEAVING for Spain along with three other women. Our goal? To hike the Camino de Santiago. this will involved five weeks of walking, an average of 20 km per day. Why are we doing this? There’s the obvious reasons: explore Spain, meet people from around the world, study the history of the Camino. That’s not however, what compels each of us to go. It’s another reason, something less obvious and one not often spoken of: mental well-being. Each one of the women embarking on this trip, faces unique challenges in life. For me, it’s recovery from traumatic brain injury. Another is facing the difficult diagnosis of an autoimmune disease that constantly brings setbacks. Depression has required that one lady step back from working right now and career stress has brought fatigue for another. Yes we take our medications, follow our doctor’s guidelines given in expertise but mental well-being requires something else: unlayering. Someone once said “life is like an onion: you peel back one lawyer at a time and sometimes, you
cry.” We have a tendency in our culture to continually keep going – adding one more thing to another. We feel the weight of life without realizing we haven’t taken the time to examine our emotional health in a very long time. Solution? Thirty-five days of walking in solitude and reflection. The journey thru Spain allows for much meditation, soul searching and unlayering. When was the last time you walked outside, breathed deeply and allowed nourishment to your mental functioning? Words like reflection, pondering, musing...all seem to belong in a Victorian novel. We elaborate multitasking, yet wonder why burnout is so commonplace. Is it necessary to achieve everything our culture insists on? Simplifying, unburdening your daily routine, peels away the layers so you can examine the bare essence of who we are and what’s really important after all. So why not dare to unlayer? We’re embarking on this journey to do just that. We challenge you to become more aware of mental well-being in your own life, in your workplace and in your families.

ometimes in the middle of a moment or event, I find myself slightly removed, watching with my psychic pen in hand, wondering even as I experience something how I will write about it. This strange, constantly penning side of my brain often draws parallels between adventures I’m having and my writing life. An example of this occurred a few summers back, when I was caving in Horne Lake, burrowing deep into the earth via rocky tunnels and winding, blacker-thanblack channels into surprisingly wide caverns and the like. My obsession with caves (and writing) started when I was very young; I blame Mark Twain. While I loved Tom Sawyer (of course) and could never understand his passion for insipid Becky Thatcher, I adored Huck Finn. And the descriptions of the caves he got to explore (where Injun Joe lived for a long while) always threw me into paroxysms of jealousy. Why couldn’t I live in a cave? Why couldn’t I at least live near caves? Second only to sunken treasure, caves were the top of my romantic things list. Fast forward to holiday planning 2009. As I investigated interesting things we could do if we got tired of Rathtrevor Beach or jumping off small cliffs into Englishman River (which would never happen, but it was fun to see all the Island offers), I came

make it through. The terrain of the caves was captivating and varied: by turns rough and jagged, alternatively smooth and rounded, like mounds of mud had rolled down in layers, then hardened. Deceptively soft looking. Some areas were bone dry. Others sweated beads of moisture. And here and there, crystal clear pools glimmered with reflections when your light happened to touch them. Often, but no less delightful for the frequency, the glow from my headlamp would bounce against seemingly black, dense stone only to have it light up and sparkle like it was dusted in stars. Yes, writing is like exploring caves in every way. Exhilarating. Intimidating. Sometimes fear-invoking. Challenging. Revealing. Often I can see no further in a story than to the end of a line. I have to accept the necessity of feeling my way around in the dark, and I’m continually amazed by the depths and diversity I discover. And just like I can’t wait to do more spelunking, I’m always excited to climb through the gnarl of passageways, dead ends, and mysterious spaces that make up my writing. And my head. I hope you had a great summer—and whatever they are, I hope you’re inspired and itching to explore your own passions this fall! This column originally ran on September 16, 2009.

Donald Dale Straw
July 29, 1930 - September 2, 2015
With heavy hearts, family and friends mourn the passing of Donald Dale Straw on Sept. 02, 2015. Born July 29, 1930 in Ray, Indiana. He married the love of his life Lucia in 1951. They moved to Terrace from Grand Rapids, Michigan in July of 1971 and founded Straw’s Machine Shop. They retired to warmer climates in the late 1990s. He is dearly missed by his nine children, 32 grandchildren and 35 great grandchildren, but we take comfort in the knowledge he is home with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

JACKIE LIEUWEN
(250) 638-7283
Local fighter on track for MMA title By JACKIE LIEUWEN WITH HIS third win in amateur Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), Terrace’s Blake Sigvaldason is two fights away from a title in the Battlefield Fight League (BFL). BFL is in Vancouver and is one of the top three fight leagues in Canada and is a step away from UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). Ranked #4 in the BFL bantamweight amateurs, Blake says his aim is to win the title, go pro and fight his way into the UFC. “Blake is right on track... one more win and he gets a title shot,” said MMA coach Marc Beer. On a three-win streak, Blake is 5’8” and 140 pounds. At age 21, he spent his summer training to fight the thirdranked Kirk Tse in the BFL on September 11. A week before the fight, he was told Tse cancelled and Blake had no fight, so, sick of his strict diet, he went out and ate a bunch of candy. The next day he learned they had found another competitor and he would fight Alex Bains, who had a 1-1 record and was ranked 25th of 41 amateur bantamweight fighters in Western Canada. Blake had to burn all the carbs he’d loaded on and frame a completely new fight strategy in just a week. Coach Beer says that made for a tough start in the fight, but they had a game plan, and Blake went out and executed it. “He came out and landed a humongous punch right off the bat that stunned the guy. I thought the fight was going to be over but the kid was tough and the fight went on… “[Blake] landed some good punches, he landed some big take downs. The other guy was game though, he was strong, he was fast, he could definitely take a punch,” said Beer. He fought three rounds of three minutes each, and with no knockouts or submissions, Blake was named winner by two of three judges. He walked away from the win with a few bumps on the back of his head, a sore nose, and a slight black eye. Asked why he fights, Blake says it is a physical test and way of expressing himself. “Martial arts is something I’ve been doing my entire life. To me its a form of expressing myself… you are expressing yourself through motion,” he said. “Another reason is I think it’s the best way to test yourself. You are just in there by yourself, you and another person, and you are just trying to submit each other, make each

I find it’s the purest form of a test a human being can go for.” Blake says his parents have always been supportive of his fighting. “When I was young [my Mom] really instilled in me that if I really wanted it, and I worked hard and believed in myself, I could do it,” he said.
At age seven, his parents put him in ju-jitsu, and he got his taste for fighting by playing video games and watching UFC. Fighting has been his goal since age 11, he said, and at 14 he started training with Terrace ju-jistu coach Petro Tsares at the Dungeon, who has been instrumental in shaping him as a fighter.

Pool trains new lifeguards for fall programs By JACKIE LIEUWEN

NEW LIFEGUARDS Sophia Zanardo, Thomas Christensen, Zachary Pflum, Harlene Takhar, Megan Walbauer, Anke Wit and Bronson Johnson show off the rope swing at the Aquatic Centre. The swing was relocated during the recent pool closure to a spot where it can provide a lot more fun to local swimmers.
THE TERRACE Aquatic Centre reopened Monday with six newly hired lifeguards to fill out fall programming. On Saturday, the pool’s new and seasoned lifeguards took the first half of their annual pre-opening training from Head Lifeguard Instructor Debbie van’t Kruis. They learned the pool expectations, requirements, policies and procedures, and ran through a safety orientation. They will do the second half of their training, practising water rescue and first aid later this month, said Aquatic Manager Michael Carlyle. With 19 lifeguards on staff now, they would like another four to complement the team, said City of Terrace Corporate
Administrator Alicia Thompson. Ten people in Terrace took the lifeguard development programs this summer, which prepares people for the certification courses and will start again October 5. Looking to get more certified lifeguards, the pool is also offering the bronze combination course on Sundays October 18 to December 6, said Carlyle. The course is the first certified step towards becoming a lifeguard, and is followed by a first aid course and National Lifeguard course, which will both be offered in Terrace. To work at the Terrace pool, Carlyle says lifeguards also need to take the Red Cross Water Safety Instructor course. The aim is to offer all those courses in Terrace by September 2016, said Carlyle.

Fighting toward UFC Blake fought in a few tournaments, but itched for an MMA fight. As soon as he turned 18, he found an amateur MMA fight online, and caught a bus to Calgary to compete. “I just knew I had to go there and compete… You look at all the greats, most of them have been fighting pro, some of them since they were 16,” he said. Blake continued ju-jitsu training with Tsares and fought and lost his first three amateur fights before his first win last November. He started official MMA training last January, when Coach Marc Beer moved to Terrace and started the Terrace fight club, Atlantis MMA. He has not lost since, and he is not the only Terrace fighter who took home a win from the recent fight card in Vancouver. Keanan Keller, at 6’5” and 170 pounds, also dominated a fight, earning his first win in the amateur MMA. His opponent Navi Dhaliwal had way more experience, with two wins and no losses in amateur MMA and a win from a muay thai kickboxing championship. Keanan “went out there and controlled the entire fight,” said coach Beer. His opponent “was really strong so it was a lot of Keanan’s strength and technique keeping this guy from being able to get any offence… He got into a little bit of a situation where his opponent was in control, had him mounted, [but] he figured it out and he got back on top.” Keanan says that moment was key for him, and really boosted his confidence. “The second he got into full mount, which is basically right on top of me, it was a situation that we had been drilling the week before and I knew exactly what to do… I got out no problem, and got on top and finished the round on top,” Keanan said. “It was maybe 15 seconds,” said Beer. “The rest of the fight, [Keanan] controlled it. I couldn’t have been more happy
T
he Monday before last, I drove to the Lakelse River to view bears and get a feel for the size of the humpback return. CBC’s Almanac was on the air, broadcast from what’s left of the CBC station in Rupert. Gloria Macarenko was hosting. I’ve always enjoyed Gloria Macarenko, former Miss PNE and a cracker jack journalist with numerous awards, including two prestigious ones, for her marathon coverage of the SwissAir crash near Peggy’s Cove. I caught the end of the first segment with a panel including Nathan Cullen and others discussing the great LNG boondoggle. Cullen made some cogent points about the perils of liquefied natural gas. The Tory, Nesbitt, appeared via prerecorded tape from the day before. “The NDP is for doing nothin’,” he said. “We didn’t get where we are now by doin’ nothin’.” I was forced to concede the point to the aspirant Tory. We got where we are now – on the verge of extinction as a species, thanks to climate change – by mustering our equipment and energy to war our natural surroundings in a short-sighted campaign to promote growth. Next, Gloria was joined by the director of BCWild, Ian McAllister, and George Wilson, the current chief of the BC Wildlfe Federation, to talk about slaughtering wolves from helicopters to protect the caribou herds, an issue that has gained international attention, thanks to Instagram
at his performance… the nerves can be the worst part… for him to overcome that his first time against a more experienced opponent, I was really proud of him.” Keanan walked away with a cauliflower ear and a black and twisted baby toe which got caught in the cage, but he says he loved the fight. “I loved every moment of it. I’ve been dying for three years to go in and do that. I finally got the opportunity,” he said. “I like competition. I like pushing myself to the limits. I like the thrill of winning and having goals to work towards. For whatever reason, fighting is just what I’m passionate about. It’s what I want to do for the rest of my life. I would love to one day be making money and be able to survive off of training and getting sponsors and fighting. It’s been a dream I’ve had for the last three or four years now.” Keanan says his parents are both supportive. “My mom, you can tell she’s not thrilled it’s what I want to do, but she still supports me regardless,” he said. “I’m pretty sure my dad subconsciously loves it that I’m doing it. He won’t really say it, but I think he does.” Keanan says he played a lot of sports when he was young, but lost interest for a while when he could not find one that stuck. He started lifting weights and watching UFC and then was inspired by Blake to get into MMA. He started training with Blake and his ju-jitsu coach Tsares in September 2013, and then with MMA coach Beer in January. With his recent win against a much more experienced fighter, Keanan is preparing for a fight to get him ranked in the top six. Both Blake and Keanan continue ju-jitsu and MMA training, and will strike into taekwondo and yoga this fall to expand their flexibility and skills. Their next fights are yet to be scheduled, and will happen sometime between this October and January 2016.

Since they can’t or won’t do that, the government wildlife managers – who have a built-in pro-hunting bias – propose to bait wolves with carcasses and slaughter them from on high. When the wolf numbers are down, they predict there will be more moose. Because of this they will allow more moose to be killed, a situation bound to earn the approval of Mr. Wilson and Wildlife Fed members. This is nothing but a scientific experiment with no science to support it. Inevitably, the talk segued into the grizzly bear hunt. McAllister noted that opposition to the abomination of killing creatures for their hide, head, and claws is strongly opposed by 80 to 90 % of the populace and that it would have been a sad part of our history today had the moratorium put on it by the NDP not been repealed by Gordon Campbell’s government. In response, Wilson said he shoots and traps wolves because he believes in “scientific game management.” When a caller suggested trapping and transferring wolves, Wilson had no objection because “we have more than enough to share.” A self-styled expert on bear populations, he announced that,“We have lots of those critters. We have grizzly bears up the wazoo.” The Wazoo? That must be seriously uncomfortable, I thought. After all, isn’t the wazoo the same part of the anatomy used in twerking?

Local govt’s want a share of tax revenues “We look forward to his response from the meeting,” Tyers added following a 90-minute session which took place Sept. 21 in Vancouver during the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. Northwestern local governments have been arguing that proposed large-scale industrial projects will increase pressure on them to provide services but because those projects invariably take place outside of their jurisdictions, they won’t receive tax monies to pay for those services. The province, so far, has been unresponsive to the idea although it does provide tax monies to local governments in northeastern B.C. who have come under pressure from the region’s oil and gas industry. In the week before the Fassbender meeting, Terrace council decided to withhold a letter of support requested by TransCanada for one of its two planned northwestern natural gas pipelines. It did so until it could gauge the results of the Fassbender meeting. While there has yet to be a firm commitment made by the province to the resource benefits alliance, Premier Christy Clark did announce what she’s calling a rural dividend. Speaking to the Union of B.C. Municipalities Convention Sept. 25, Clark said the province will hand out up to $75 million over three years beginning next year to municipalities of fewer than 25,000 people outside of urban areas. The money will go to rural communities having the following priorities – improving the quality of life, expanding learning and skills development, improving the ability of youth from rural areas to ei-
ther return home or stay in rural communities and encouraging collaboration and partnerships with First Nations. Terrace mayor
“It’s probably one avenue, but it certainly doesn’t mitigate the work of the Resource Benefits Alliance. It will continue.” If Terrace council
withheld a gas pipeline letter of support, the mayor of Kitimat did not and has endorsed the Coastal GasLink gas pipeline project of TransCanada.
That planned pipeline will feed the planned LNG Canada project at Kitimat. “Establishing new industries in Kitimat has been a top priority for the
municipality ever since the closure of Methanex and Eurocan in 2006 and 2010, respectively, said Germuth. The letter was released Sept. 23.

Warm, safe places needed for homeless What they need are humane conditions to continue living, however marginalized they might be. “Out of all the guys I know who are homeless, there are only a couple of us who are wanting to work and find a place. The rest don’t care, sad to say,” he says. The Ksan Society’s year-round shelter is of little help to those in the thralls of addiction. “You have one drink of beer and they will kick you out,” says the man. Even a place to keep his clothes would help. Out in the bush his clothes are always being stolen. The homeless problem has not gone completely unnoticed with city council, who recently decided to form a task group to find solutions to the rising homeless population, which was estimated to be 74 earlier this year. Part of the group’s mandate will be to make sure that communication happens between various community groups and also that there is enough room in emergency shelters this winter. General safety will also be discussed. WARM UP YOUR
Gee’s friend says an emergency shelter for the colder months of the year doesn’t open early enough. “I keep hearing talk of a wet shelter for alcoholics, but they won’t open it up until it’s zero, and I mean it’s cold right here, it’s soaking wet. I know so many people right now crashed out in makeshift little gazebos that aren’t really even tents.” The burning down of two abandoned buildings in August that were used by the homeless has compounded the problem. “It was a big loss, because it was dry place to stay, a warm place, ten of us could go sleep in there but now we are finding it hard to find a place to sleep,” said the man of one of the abandoned locations that burned down on Park Ave. As a severe addict in a town with no detox or rehab centre, he relies on the Terrace and District Community Services Society for counseling to get off the streets, a service which he says frequently requires booking almost two months in advance. “You just fall into a deeper drunk,” he lamented.
