Nisga’a to reap gold mine taxation THE NISGA’A of the Nass Valley are to be double beneficiaries from the construction of a gold mine near Stewart. In addition to Nisga’a citizens having employment and business opportunities arising from the Brucejack gold mine owned by Pretium Resources of Vancouver and for the Nisga’a Lisims Government to receive payments and royalties from the company, the Lisims government is also in line
for a share of provincial mineral tax revenues from the mine when it goes into production in 2017. Details are still being negotiated behind closed doors indicates a statement from the provincial government. “Any details on negotiations remain confidential until agreements are concluded,” added the statement. The groundwork for a share of mineral taxation dates back to the Nisga’a land claims treaty of 2000
which laid out Nisga’a geographical spheres of influence. And last year the province signed an agreement with the Nisga’a to negotiate project-byproject economic and community development agreements. A portion of the Brucejack property is within the area over which the Nisga’a have an influence. The province has negotiated more than a dozen economic and
community development agreements with First Nations and when applicable to mines, provide the latter with 35 per cent of the net mineral taxation collected each year. Nisga’a Lisims president Mitchell Stevens said he was confident a deal with the province for a share of Pretium’s mineral taxation would be signed in due course. “It’s just a formality,” said Stevens of the agreement which would
follow an already-established provincial policy on sharing mineral taxation. “I don’t see any problem with it.” While the deal between the Nisga’a and the province for the Brucejack mine will be the first between the two for a mine going into production, they did sign an earlier agreement for another proposed mining project.

■■ Restoring history FALLER JIM Quigley takes a break from cutting down trees around the Second World War bunker at the Northwest Regional Airport Oct. 2. The airport society has agreed to clean out the two rooms on either side of the bunker and during the winter, the 100 Year Celebration Committee, George Little House and Terrace 747 Air Cadet Squadron will plan the history boards to go in the rooms, painting the bunker and whatever else needs to be done on the bunker restoration project in preparation for spring when the work can be continued. With Quigley, from left, are air cadets chair Sherelyn Christiansen, Debbie Parnell, Shelley Harris, also from the air cadets and committee member Yvonne Moen.
TERRACE CITY council has reversed an earlier decision not to support a pipeline builder and instead has written a letter backing planned gas pipelines that would be built by TransCanada to several proposed liquefied natural gas plants in the region. Council first turned down the support request from TransCanada Sept. 14, saying it first wanted to gauge the results of a Sept. 21 meeting with provincial cabinet minister Peter Fassbender to discuss forwarding a portion of provincial resource taxation to northern local governments. Though no promises from the province came out of that meeting about a revenue sharing agreement, the meeting was called “successful” by city councillor Stacey Tyers who is also the chair of the Northwest BC Resource Benefits Alliance, the group of northwestern local governments formed to push for a share of provincial tax revenue from industrial development. “If that meeting had gone poorly, I think you would have heard more of a discussion about how that letter would be written,” said councillor James Cordeiro, who introduced the original motion to hold off on the support letter. He said that original position should not be regarded as the council being opposed to development. Council members unanimously, at their Sept. 28 meeting, decided to send TransCanada the letter it wanted and it was mailed out last week above the signature of mayor Carol Leclerc. The letter supports not only TransCanada’s proposed pipelines but the liquefied natural gas industry in general. In it, Leclerc thanks TransCanada for the money it has spent in the region but also says the city looks forward to continued taxation sharing negotiations through the resource benefits alliance with the provincial government. LNG Canada has chosen TransCanada to build the Coastal GasLink (CGL) pipeline to feed its project at Kitimat and Pacific NorthWest LNG has chosen the company to build the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) pipeline to its proposed plant on Lelu Island near Port Edward.

News In Brief Fireworks allowed THE TRADITION continues: fireworks are allowed in the city between Oct. 24 and Halloween, however, the use of them will be enforced according to the nuisance bylaw. Council voted Sept. 28 not to change the bylaw despite noise and frightened animals coming up as an issue last year and a ban or curtailed hours considered. Councillor Sean Bujtas said his dog broke a tooth when it panicked from the loud noises once. The options were to ban the fireworks completely or to reduce the days when they are allowed. But the local minor hockey association sells fireworks at a successful fundraiser every year, and limiting their use only to Halloween was seen as too strict because of all the events happening on other days. Council decided to take an educational approach, with responsible fireworks messages to be posted where the fireworks are being sold. JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

Road building wrapping up ROAD CONTRACTORS are racing the weather in an attempt to finish the city’s summer projects before the winter season makes it impossible. And according to city public works director Rob Schibli, every-
thing appears to be on course for this to happen. On Sept. 30, paving was finished on Haugland Ave. on the Southside. A majority of the 24 residents along the 5200 and 5300 blocks
of Haugland, the western-most stretch, had decided to pay part of the repaving cost of their gravel road as part of a Local Area Service agreement. The road was unpaved, uneven, dusty, and in need of repair.
Residents will pay approximately $300,000 of the $1.32 million Haugland project through a 20-year tax surcharge, with amounts varying depending upon each property’s frontage. The other project to
wrap up is a complete city works infrastructure rebuild of the 4700 Block of Walsh Street, which includes the installation of an asphalt sidewalk down one side. Minor work on the block was ongoing last week.
Teenager killed RCMP OFFICERS are continuing their investigation into an accident early last week which took the life of a 16-year-old girl. The single vehicle accident involving a car took place the late afternoon of Sept. 27 on Hwy113 approximately 24km north of Terrace. The vehicle carrying six people left the road, entered a ditch and rolled, Terrace RCMP stated in a release. “Four of the passengers were transported to hospital suffering from various injuries, none of which were believed to be life threatening. Unfortunately, one passenger, a 16-year-old girl, succumbed to her injuries at the scene,” police stated. Police later stated the teenage girl was not wearing a seatbelt. Involved in the investigation are a collision analyst and a collision reconstructionist.

Murdered teen’s injuries survivable, jury is told THE FIRST week of a three-week murder trial of a Terrace teen who died in Kamloops three years ago revealed how the 16-year-old died, her boyfriend’s sobbing reaction when interviewed by police hours later and that despite major injuries, her life could’ve been saved if she had received immediate medical attention. Damien Taylor, 21 at the time of his girlfriend’s death, was charged with second degree murder in connection with the death of C.J. Fowler, 16 at the time, on Dec. 5, 2012. Taylor and Fowler were last seen in the early morning hours of that day, at Royal Inland Hospital, where they had gone after Fowler expressed worry about chest pains from crystal meth use. At the hospital, the two were told she was pregnant. Tests later showed the baby was Taylor’s. They were seen leaving the hospital arguing. The man who found her body told the 11-person supreme court jury he was walking his dog at 1 p.m. that day when his canine led him to what at first appeared to be a pile of clothes. But he quickly realized it was a First Nations girl clad in a tank top with clothes around her and a concrete block on her chest. Two other people arrived and called 911. Fowler’s stepfather Glen Wilson testified that Taylor had moved into Wilson’s Terrace home to live with his girlfriend, 16-year-old Fowler. Wilson told the jury he agreed to let Taylor move in. While he was worried the pair had too much time on their hands – Fowler wasn’t in school and Taylor didn’t have a job despite Wilson’s attempts to help them do both – trouble didn’t start until a friend of Fowler’s from Kamloops came to visit and stayed over in late November 2012. Wilson said he came home from a trip to Kitimat to find C.J. and two friends high on what he guessed was a mixture of cocaine and chemicals.
He kicked the friends out and Fowler left with them. She returned home days later, but told her stepfather she wanted to go to Kamloops with Taylor and her friends. Less than a week later, beginning in the early evening of Dec. 4, 2012, Wilson said he texted back and forth with Fowler from 8 p.m. to the early hours of the next day — the day she was slain. The last text Wilson received from Fowler, about 3 a.m., said, “I love you Dad. We miss you.” He testified he tried to contact Fowler at about 8 a.m., texting her: “Are you awake?” There was no reply. Wilson bought Greyhound tickets for Fowler and Taylor for the noon bus, but Taylor made the trip north by himself. Police intercepted Taylor in Prince George at the Greyhound station the same day Fowler’s body was found. RCMP Cpl. Jay Grierson testified Taylor was treated as a potential witness and put up for the night in a hotel beside the downtown police detachment. After Taylor checked out the next morning, police searched his room. Grierson said officers found a ripped-up bus ticket in the toilet and socks in the garbage can. The Crown said those socks were stained with blood matching Fowler’s DNA. They eventually seized his backpack. Inside, they found an SD card believed to be from Fowler’s phone and a breaker bar — a mechanic’s tool similar to a socket wrench used to free seized bolts. Laboratory testing of that breaker bar found Fowler’s DNA on it. Taylor wasn’t arrested and charged with Fowler’s murder until a year later. In his testimony, Dr. Gilles Molgat, a forensic pathologist, detailed injuries to Fowler, consisting of blunt force trauma to her face and head. Her skull was caved in on the right side and her jaw was smashed. Molgat said he be-
lieves Fowler died from asphyxiation after her tongue was pushed and trapped in her airway. A 56-pound roughedge concrete block was found on her chest with her blood on it, leading Molgat to believe it caused most of her injuries. While the trauma to Fowler’s head and face were severe, Molgat said she may have survived her injuries with prompt medical attention. Fowler had crystal meth and marijuana in her body, but the amounts were not lethal. Late last week,
Crown prosecutors showed a video recording taken in the Prince George RCMP detachment on the evening of Dec. 5, seven hours after Fowler’s body was found. On the video recording, Taylor told RCMP Sgt. Todd Wiebe he had last seen Fowler at Royal Inland Hospital in the late evening of Dec. 4 or in the early-morning hours of Dec. 5. Taylor was intercepted at the Prince George Greyhound bus depot that evening and agreed to go to the detachment for questioning about an investigation in Kamloops.
“I really don’t know what’s going on,” Taylor told Wiebe. The officer then told him Fowler was dead. “No way — what happened?” Taylor blurted out. Several times in the next 10 minutes on the recording, Taylor choked and broke down in tears. When Wiebe left the interview room to get a calendar, Taylor rocked in his chair and shook his head back and forth. “She’s the love of my life,” he told Wiebe. The trial is scheduled for three weeks. –With files from Kamloops This Week

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015
Native vote benefits Cullen Terrace Standard Wednesday, October 7, 2015
www.terracestandard.com A5
By JOSH MASSEY
NEW DEMOCRATIC incumbent Nathan Cullen should continue to profit by strong support within the aboriginal voting community in this federal election, says a University of British Columbia political analyst. Cullen, seeking reelection for the fourth straight time, has been the overwhelming favourite among aboriginal voters since he was first elected in the 2004 federal election for the Skeena – Bulkley Valley riding. “The NDP continue to have policies that are more sympathetic to First Nations interests in general,” says Michael Murphy, who has studied aboriginal turnout from a historical perspective. In 2011, Cullen’s support within the aboriginal community could be seen in places such as in the Nass Valley where he received 253 votes to 14 for Conservative challenger Clay Harmon, in Moricetown near Smithers where he received 181 votes compared to Harmon’s 11 and at Kitsumkalum where Cullen out-polled Harmon by 146 to 28 votes. The NDP’s vocal

VOTERS IN communities such as Gitlaxt’aamiks in the Nass Valley have been strong supporters of Nathan Cullen. stance opposing the construction of oilcarrying pipelines and oil-carrying tankers has been popular among fisheries-based and other communities, said Murphy. Cullen has become one of the key figures in regional opposition to Enbridge’s planned Northern Gateway pipeline which would pump Alberta crude to a marine export terminal at Kitimat. And he’s proposed a private member’s bill in
the House of Commons to ban oil tankers from the north coast. Cullen’s also been strong in larger communities where aboriginals make up a large portion of the population. He’s also increased his share of the vote each time out, from 37 per cent in 2004, his first victory, to his fourth in 2011 when he received 55 per cent of the vote. As a sign of aboriginal support for Cullen, one of his opponents in
Cyclist crashes into candidate’s truck By ALICIA BRIDGES CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE for Skeena-Bulkley Valley Tyler Nesbitt had the shock of a lifetime when a cyclist crashed into the back of his stationary pickup truck Sept. 29. Nesbitt had pulled over to take a phone call on the shoulder of Highway 16 near Telkwa when a Smithers cyclist, age 67, collided with the tailgate of his vehicle at about 3:45 p.m. The man suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries and was flown to Vancouver General Hospital. The Terrace-based candidate said he had just hung up the phone when he heard a bang. “It was pretty rough right off the bat because instantly right after that big bang I opened my door, turned around and there was a significant amount of blood there,” he said. He called 911 and set about helping the cyclist, who had a nose bleed and was complaining about pain from his clavicle.
Another motorist, who happened to be trained as a paramedic, pulled over to help and they covered the injured man with a blanket until emergency services arrived. Nesbitt said the cyclist, who he later found out is a doctor, had visible bruising around his collarbone. Nesbitt cancelled a campaign meet-and-greet in Houston that evening and followed emergency services to the hospital. He also made a statement to Smithers RCMP, who are still investigating the incident but say there is no indication that a criminal offence occurred. Nesbitt said he was not sure how the accident happened but it was lucky the man was wearing a helmet. “I just think he had his head down and he was giving her,” he said. Nesbitt said he plans to contact the man and check in on his recovery at a later date. Anybody who saw the collision is asked to contact Const. Moleski at Smithers RCMP 250-847-3233.
his first victory in 2004 was Haida leader Miles Richardson who ran for the Liberal party. Cullen’s 37 per cent of the vote in 2004, however, was significantly higher than Richardson’s 21.5 per cent. The Liberal vote has declined each election since (falling as low as 3.61 per cent in 2011) with Cullen being the beneficiary. Meanwhile, the Conservative vote has remained locked in the 33 per cent range in every
election since 2004. Aboriginal voting did increase slightly with the on-reserve turn out rising by 2.1 per cent between 2008 and 2011 in this riding from 47.6 per cent to 49.7 per cent averaged out over 81 on-reserve polls. According to Murphy, neither the current federal Conservative government or previous federal Liberal ones have done particularly well in gathering the aboriginal vote. The string of Lib-
eral governments from 1993-2006 started off with strong aboriginal support but then exited on a bad note, said Murphy. “At the end of the [Jean] Chretien era, indigenous people across Canada were kind of getting fed up, they were like well, we started off pretty good but a lot of the policies coming down at the end of the Chretien era didn’t look great,” said Murphy. He cited proposal
Liberal aboriginal government legislation which First Nations leaders said resembled the Indian Act. As for the current Conservative government, Murphy says its policies have not pleased the aboriginal electorate either. “The Tories have done a number of things that have been incredibly unpopular. The removal of the environmental protections which really got the Idle No More movement up and running being one,” he said. And while the NDP has never been elected to govern Canada, positions taken have solidified the party image as friendly to the cause of aboriginals. That said, Murphy also believes the policies and promises of the NDP, for instance calling for an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal people, is more based on principles and less on strategy, because of the small overall percentage of the vote that First Nations wield across the country. Historically, aboriginal people were denied the right to vote until mid-century, he added, and many choose not to vote to this today.
New cards being sent RESIDENTS OF the tiny community of Cedarvale east of here along Hwy16 are getting new voter information cards with accurate information on where they can vote in this federal election. Cards originally telling them they could either cast advance ballots or ones on election day Oct. 19 in Hazelton drew protests because of the 50 kilometre distance between the two communities. But now they’ve been told they can vote 19 kilometres away in Kitwanga which is where they cast ballots in the 2011 federal election. “All affected Cedarvale registered voters will receive a replacement [voter information] card,” said Elections Canada official Dorothy Sitek last week. She said the new cards will have a notice in red in the bottom right hand corner telling the recipient that it is a replacement card. Sitek said it’s important that all voters pay attention to the polling station addresses on the back of their voting information cards as they can only vote at a polling station associated with their address. That’s different from, for example, provincial voting rules in which voters can cast ballots at any official voting place. Elections Canada won’t even release a list of the locations of its 2015 voting stations so as not to confuse people about where they can or cannot vote, Sitek said. Some Cedarvale residents remain unhappy, said Mary Dalen who has lived in the community for decades. “Of course the people here who vote all the time are furious. Elections Canada is making it harder and harder for people to go and vote,” said Dalen

Even going to Kitwanga is a problem, said Dalen, because Cedarvale votes will then be mixed in with Kitwanga and area ballots. “We want to be identified as being from Cedarvale,” she said. Dalen said she remembers days gone past when people in Cedarvale got dressed up to go vote in their own community. Similar mix-ups in voting station locations appear to be happening in some other locations across the country with Elections Canada officials elsewhere saying they are contacting those affected.

Gold mine WITH a construction workforce estimated to peak at 900 people over the next two years and an operating workforce of 500 over its planned 18-year operating life, the Brucejack mine owned by Pretium Resources now under construction to open in 2017 near Stewart is good news for Terrace and the Nass Valley. The good news comes in many different ways. For the Nass Valley, it means jobs and economic opportunity for the Nisga’a thanks to an economic benefits agreement negotiated and signed within the framework of the Nisga’a Final Agreement of 2000. The Nisga’a have signed several such agreements, the first being for a small hydroelectric project also near Stewart, but this is the first major one where there are shovels in the ground. That the Nisga’a use Terrace as their key shopping and service centre should not go unnoticed. It’s good news for the Northwest Regional Airport because Pretium will use it as its key entry point to the northwest, further solidifying the airport’s role as a vital economic driver. It’s also good news for Terrace itself. An operating mine life of 18 years offers more than enough incentive for those working at Brucejack to consider the city as a home. And that means more people, particularly younger working families, adding to the city’s economic growth and stability.
Chips offer a walking challenge
W
hen walking my dogs, I prefer a narrow trail only wide enough for single file, one that wends its way zigzagging here and there among trees, sometimes with trees so close I could scrape a shoulder on a branch stub if I daydream. Besides the pleasure of hiking through a forest silent except for breezes, rustling leaves, and birdsong, a big plus for such trails is the barrier they present to motorized toys such as snowmobiles, ATVs and dirt bikes all of which tend to be driven at excessive speeds accompanied by deafening engine noise and the lingering pollution of exhaust fumes. I and many other dog walkers go where we have a choice of several trails: the shortest one with trees too close together for anything wider than a dirt bike; a medium trail with a combination of open road width and winding single file; and the longest measuring 5,000 footsteps on a Fitbit offering both a meandering single file trail and an open road with clearance sufficient for trucks.

THROUGH BIFOCALS
CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Depending upon whether the ground is dry, or slippery following rains, the time of day and hours before dark sets in, I choose a path for its scenic qualities – moss, shrubs growing close enough to whisk my elbows, and limited vista ahead. I like to savour the immediate scene and anticipate what will gradually become visible as I climb a hill and weave around trees. Plants growing close to the trail carry odours from animals and people who have passed by earlier, depositing odours for my dogs to catalogue. Late this spring, two
piles of wood chips, totalling about three gravel truck loads, sprang up halfway between the Fitbit trail and the Rifle Range. My first thought was a litterer had dumped the chips there contrary to Crown land rules. (The dumping occurred during the weeks regional district was bombarded with complaints of sofas, scrap lumber, and mattresses heaved out in ditches.) Upon checking with the regional district, I was told these chips were stockpiled to be used later to map out a ski run, for cross-country or triathlon. I can’t recall which. Last week it happened. Out of the blue, a meandering length of the medium trail was ankle deep in chips, applied the full width a Bobcat needed to manoeuvre its blade between trees. Some rotted stumps were uprooted and vegetation disturbed on either edge. Now, this transformation isn’t nearly as upsetting as littering would be, but the chips do make walking more laborious and detract from the natural beauty of the trail. So far my sneakers have not filled with teeny chips
S TANDARD
but that could happen as the chips dry out and crumble. Not only does the depth of chips soak up energy and slow me down, they’re banked in furrows, some shallow, some deeper. My hope is before the Bobcat considers the job done and departs the scene, it will rake the chips level, free of ridges and gullies that could cause a stumble any time or under winter conditions, a slip or fall. Trucking of chips and use of a Bobcat to complete the application must cost a fair bit. Is the cost being absorbed by club members or donated by supporters? How many skiers might be expected to navigate this run? Despite signs fastened to trees proclaiming meter length at various distances, in past winters I’ve never met more than a couple skiers or observed more than a track or two. Since these chips vastly alter the scenic atmosphere and interfere with walking ease along this dog walking trail, skiers best compensate by frequently using them. Claudette Sandecki lets the chips fall where they may from her home in Thornhill, B.C.

The Mail Bag LNG impacts too much for Lelu Island
FILE PHOTO
FIREFIGHTER MOVES hose into position at June 2015 fire which partially destroyed a former CN bunkhouse frequented by homeless people. It was completely destroyed by a second fire in August.
Let’s tackle homelessness Dear Sir: Kudos to city councillor Brian Downie for his straightforward comments on the growing homelessness issue. With the anticipated “monster” El Nino this fall and winter we are likely to see an abundance of heavy rains and/ or wet snow and the thought of those, combined with the season’s north winds, doesn’t
T
bode well for anyone without a roof over their head. Kudos also to Mayor Carol LeClerc for her realistic view, and comment, on the speed necessary to do something quickly. A fast-tracked timeline, at its best, would see the direction referred to city staff to bring their recommendations back to council for discus-
sion at the next meeting of the whole, then to the following council meeting, in two weeks, for formal ratification. It would then go back to staff for action. One scenario has them directed to contact the individuals who will be asked to form a working committee. Trying to get people together at a time suitable for every-
one is always an adventure. If stars align that meeting could take place before the end of October. Could enough discussion take place in a single meeting to bring recommendations to Council at the first meeting in November? In a good world, and because the snow will likely be lower on the mountains, maybe.

Dear Sir: I am against the Pacific NorthWest LNG project, the majority of which is owned by Petronas, that is being proposed for Lelu Isalnd near Port Edward because of the way the contract was signed by Premier Christy Clark. This project will increase our greenhouse gas emissions and put us way off target for the next 25 years. This company will never have a tax increase in 25 years. This project will not lead to the number of local jobs you might think. The full life cycle of this LNG project, from fracking to final use, is no better than the greenhouse gas emissions from a coal fired plant. We will never be able to reduce our impacts on the world’s climate as no changes are allowed without a penalty paid by Canadian taxpayers. The contract is a template for other LNG projects. There were no guarantees in the contract that two coal fired plants will be shut down in Asia to lessen greenhouse gas emissions overall. This project may only lead to more emissions. A healthy ecosystem is based on the number of young sealife produced. Lelu Island is a nursery for our young sealife in many different forms. The life of this project will pass by quickly. But the ramifications of death in our waters and in our atmosphere will affect our sealife, wildlife, our people and future generations, not only in our area but in the entire world. Let’s get on with our future which is in renewable energy. By 2050 we have to be off fossil fuels and this is no way to get there. Mary Ann Shannon, Terrace, B.C.
Pipeline would bring taxes, benefits, jobs
here has been a lot of discussion about pipeline projects in recent days, especially in the Lower Mainland where urban environmentalists tend to dominate the conversation. People seem to forget the Interior has a stake in these decisions, and we certainty have skin in the game. Big cities in the Lower Mainland have been the most vocal about Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project. Just over five kilometres of new pipeline would go through Burnaby, and zero kilometres would go through Vancouver. By comparison, more than 350 kilometres of new pipeline would go through the Thompson Nicola Regional District. Combined with what’s already in place, there will be 1,000 kilometres of Kinder Morgan pipeline going through our region. And yet you don’t hear us complaining.
In fact, the Thompson Nicola Regional District board passed a motion in May to support the Trans Mountain Expansion Project. We did so because Trans Mountain has a 60-year history of corporate citizenship, pipeline safety, and emergency response. Because the alternative is a huge expansion of transporting fuels by railcar, which we believe brings increased rail traffic and greater risk to the environment and to communities in the Thompson Nicola Regional District including Blue River, Clearwater, Barriere, Kamloops, Chase, Ashcroft and Spences Bridge. We also support the project because it will bring economic opportunities to the region through local investments, property taxes, landowner compensation and employment during both construction and operation. Kinder Morgan estimates there will be $1.8 billion in con-
GUEST COMMENT
NEIL MENARD struction spending in the Interior. That’s a huge chunk of all the capital spending in the region. Thousands of people, both locals and non-locals, will be working in the region, and they’ll be spending tens of millions of dollars at hotels, motels, restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations. The benefits won’t end when
construction is done. Trans Mountain’s municipal taxes will double and the City of Merritt will collect $500,000 a year in property taxes. The Thompson Nicola Regional District alone will collect more than $13 million a year. That’s money that will stay in our communities to support local services without coming out of your pocket or mine. Getting Canadian oil to world markets is important for the whole country, just like getting the natural resources we produce in the Interior to markets around the world. Imagine what would happen to our region if we suddenly couldn’t get our minerals, wood or agricultural products to customers outside the province. Of course, our support is subject to the project meeting leading construction and environmental standards, and both we and the National Energy Board will hold them accountable to make sure
they do. Just like the Lower Mainland, we in the Interior care deeply about the environment. Unlike many people who have grown up in the urban environment of the Lower Mainland, however, we in the Interior still appreciate the importance of natural resources to our regional economy, and to B.C. and Canada. We also understand that a strong economy has to be balanced so that all Canadians are winners in the long run. The pipeline expansion is an important decision, and we should be thinking about it from the perspective of what’s good for all of B.C. and all of Canada. Neil Menard is the mayor of Merritt and a director of the Thompson Nicola Regional District. He is a third generation forestry worker and an ironworker who has worked in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. This column first appeared in the Merritt Herald.

From Page A7
Action needed quickly to address homelessness Then back to staff, or the agency selected, for action. That action can’t happen overnight unless it has been thought out, a decision already made, and preliminary work done beforehand. There are many times that is done. It’s not the right way to do things and in small towns that kind of action really is noticeable and can leave a sour taste in peoples’ mouths. In this case, because lives are at stake, action does need to happen fast. It will need to be creative and for that to happen there will need to be more than one agency or group involved. The groups that are already involved in the homelessness field aren’t enough. If something hasn’t been done already they don’t have the ability, for whatever reason. That inaction is like-
“It is more than finding mats for those with substance abuse issues.” ly in the form of missing dollars, so meeting over that topic will only restate they don’t have the dollars to do what is necessary. This is a situation different than prior years, it is more than the need for a damp shelter. There are different, additional, groups of people without homes
this year. It is more than finding mats for those with substance abuse issues. It will need community involvement. Whether it means opening church doors and floors, using unused classrooms as living quarters and an unused gym as a communal front room or a plan to
mobilize the emergency response team when the thermometer plunges, there is no doubt it will take more than a committee to discuss it while the clock is ticking. My suggestion to council, use modern media - use Facebook. Start the discussion now. Ask people for their ideas. I know I’m not the only person that has thoughts on the matter. Carol Sabo, Terrace, B.C.
Gambling profits better spent here in Terrace, BC Dear Sir: Regarding the gambling and hotel expansion wishes by Pomeroy Lodge of its Chances casino here.

Cameraman retires after 43 years By MARGARET SPEIRS AFTER SPENDING his whole career here, John Dando is retiring after 43 years as a cameraman at CFTK. The soon-to-be 65 year old worked his last day on the job Sept. 30 with the distinction of being at the TV station the longest of all the staff currently there. “I think I’m sure I could say that I’ve probably seen 1,000 people go thru here,” said Dando in his office surrounded by items he’s used over the years. Dando, who grew up here, started in 1972 as a photographer, taking still photos since there were no portable TV cameras then. Everything he did was in the form of slides so the commercials he produced were “slide shows” with sound, he said. And just like slide projectors of the time, the slides had to be shown one at a time with the push of a button, he added. The station got its first video camera in 1976 that could be taken out on the road for shooting commercials. “The camera itself was quite small then and it was also connected to a recording dock so we had to actually build a couple of different sized golf carts to pull these things around so we powered it by a motorcycle battery,” Dando said. “It was quite heavy and we had a big wooden tripod. The other thing is that cameras back then weren’t very light sensitive so to shoot inside you had to have lights, and even outside on a grey day or towards dusk it was too dark to see.” Dando got started in photography as a boy. His dad was an amateur photographer and had a darkroom at home so he helped his dad out with developing film. He bought his own camera the year before he started work and took a lot of pictures. Then he heard CFTK was looking for a new photographer with dark room experience so he applied and got the job. When he first started, he worked in an old building which is where the federal Service Canada offices are now and which was then known as the Nash Building. His office was actually an old army hut where the parking lot is now. There were three people in the accounting department, an artist and Dando working in that building, he said. “So my dark room was in the washroom, so I had to sort of inform everybody I was going to go into the dark room to do some developing so they should go in if they wanted to use it (the washroom) in the next hour or so,” he said. When CFTK moved kitty corner in 1973 to where it is now, a building which had been an Overwaitea store, Dando built himself a new dark room downstairs. Three years later when the station got its first video camera, he had to learn how to make moving pictures. Dando began shooting commercials and doing news stories and then started on The Skeena Journal, a public affairs program that ran for 25 years and which won a few national awards. “It was quite well-known around the community and around our area. Everybody was looking forward to that every week, it

JOHN DANDO closed up his office last week as he retired from his job at CFTK-TV after 43 years. was a half hour news magazine show so that was quite a long run,” he said, adding it was sponsored by Alcan for all those years. The station then began making music videos, getting involved with Inside Tracks, a program produced through the collaboration of five TV stations around the province. It featured local bands in those music videos. Valdy came up one time to do introductions for the show, Dando added.
For one show, he went over to the thennamed Queen Charlotte Islands (now Haida Gwaii) in 1993 to do some videos for Louisa Marshall – she was recently here performing her tribute show to Tina Turner. Along the way, CFTK also produced dramas, one of which was the popular 1980s series Trapper Jack. Dando’s plan has always been to retire at age 65 as he didn’t want to work any later
than that. Leaving now gives other people a chance to do his job, he said. And he has plenty to keep busy. “I’m physically active. I do swim and I just bought my seniors pass at the pool and my seniors pass for Shames Mountain so I’ll be skiing not just on weekends but a few days during the week,” said Dando. He’s also purchased a new hybrid bicycle and is going to work on his cooking skills.
Seniors’ tea serves up more than lunch EVERY THIRD Tuesday the kitchen adjoining the Terrace Pentecostal Assembly’s Fireside meeting room springs to life. A group of volunteers starts preparing platters of cold cuts, cheeses and raw vegetables and fruit and assembling a wide variety of baked goods. That activity intensifies the next morning because from 2 to 4 p.m. on the afternoon of every third Wednesday the church plays host to as many as 100 senior citizens each time. It’s a social occasion that’s been going on for at least 17 years, says Nancy Hull who began as a server and took over as its organizer more than 10 years ago. She credits Dave and Elsie Hull, both relatives who have since passed away, with starting the coffee time. “We do this 12 months of the year and it’s all paid for by the church,”
she says. Following coffee and refreshments, those attending will then sing and acknowledge milestones such as birthdays and anniversaries. On a typical afternoon, people from Terraceview Lodge might occupy one table while people from the Happy Gang Centre might be sitting at another and another group from the local adult day centre sits at another. Hull points to fresh flowers at each table. At the end of each afternoon, two will be placed in a little box for each senior to take home. “It’s just something they can take home,” she says. At first meats and cheeses weren’t included with the refreshments but after realizing some seniors were regarding the baked goodies as lunch, they were then added, said Hull. “This way they get a full range of food,” she said.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
■
Local champs
BROOKLYNN STANVICK, 9. of Thornhill travelled to The War Amps 2015 BC Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Vancouver, earlier this year along with other young amputees from across B.C. Jessica Hamel, 11, of Terrace, born a partial left hand and left leg amputee, was at the seminar too. At the three-day seminar with their parents, they learned about the latest developments in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and bullying and parenting an amputee child. This year marks the 40th anniversary of CHAMP which has provided generations of child amputees with financial assistance for artificial limbs, regional seminars and peer support.
We would like to extend an invitation to all society members, supporters and friends to attend this year’s Annual General Meeting.

Mine waste rock used on Stewart’s roads By JOSH MASSEY THE REVELATION that mines tailings from a local company given to the city for use in municipal road work operations was contaminated with higher than average levels of arsenic and other materials has spawned a series of environmental tests of local roads and water by the District of Stewart. A local resident reported to the city hall that she had seen waste rock being crushed within city limits getting transported to the municipal services yard and stored in two piles. In response, The District of Stewart then commissioned the McElhanney consulting firm to test the crushed ore than had been left behind and “six roadways suspected of receiving mine tailing fill.” According to the McElhanney report, tests “yielded results that exceeded applicable soil standards for arsenic, cobalt, and copper,” adding that it was a “contaminated stockpile” not suitable for use on roads “however was not found to be Hazardous Waste.” They then tested several roads that looked freshly gravelled to see if any of the residue showed up. “Each roadway was reviewed visually for signs of recent disturbance,” said McElhanney. Of these tests, “2 of 6 suspect roadway samples (7th Ave. and Conway St.) marginally exceeded the 15 mg/kg arsenic drinking water standard with concentrations of 16.1 and 16.7.” A third sample also showed elevated levels of arsenic near someone’s home who had re-
quested a test. “The discrete sample collected at 218 9th Avenue exceeded arsenic standards with a concentration of 16,100 mg/ kg,” reads the report. However the roadway results were not necessarily out of the ordinary: “These excedences may be attributed to natural variability of arsenic in the region.” Nor was the contamination deemed to be leachable, meaning it would not seep into groundwater, which was confirmed by initial tests. “We are confident that none of this material was used in our community by Public Works,” the district said in the letter it sent to residents. Mayor Galina Durant said a former district public works director, who has since left town, accepted the crushed ore from Red Eye. Durant herself has researched the use of mine rock in road construction, a practice she said is done in Toronto, and thinks the former public works director had a similar notion. “I believe that our public work directors accepted the materials for the same reason. Unfortunately, this material exceeds the acceptable levels of metals,” she said. According to Red Eye official Randy Kasum, it was not his company that offered the rock, it was the city who asked for it to use as a fine gravel for roads. “We were just taking it back up to our mineral property and they said they could use it,” he said. Durant said Stewart residents are justified in their concern, though she said the decision to use waste rock for roads was not
a council decision. “You know we are living in an area with active mining and an area with a high level of arsenic and people are concerned, especially when we have contamination issues in our boundaries,” said Durant. Meanwhile, the ministry of the environment has also become involved, doing its own studies of the sites and involving itself in permitting with Red Eye. A statement from environment ministry David Karn says it received a complaint Aug. 27 from a resident about Red Eye Resources/Decade Resources crushing rock in town. “The complaint alleged that the mine had distributed the mine waste to the District of Stewart for use as road sand in the winter,” said Karn. The official added that the mining company didn’t have the proper permit to be processing waste rock. “Since there is no authorization in place and the site may have become contaminated, the ministry’s Land Remediation Team have been involved.” Red Eye had to transport all the crushed rock back to the mine site, and says it has had to bear the cost of that as well as the possible cost for doing tests at its worksite. “It’s costly to have to reload it all and transport it back to their mine site,” said Kasum. “We had to haul it over there and we had to haul it back. We many have to pay for a few assays too.” He added that he feels the situation is largely political. As for how much the McElhanney tests cost, the District of Stewart has yet to find out.

Store, gas bar approved for empty lot on Keith By JOSH MASSEY CITY COUNCIL has approved a development permit for a 12pump Petro-Canada gas bar combined with a 7-11 convenience store kitty corner to Tim Hortons on the northeast corner of Kalum St. and Keith Ave./Hwy16. But council still wants clarification about whether the city will be on the hook for traffic light upgrades that may be required at the intersection. The permit, sought by the company EXP Services, contains a provision to reduce the landscape buffer adjacent to the sidewalk running parallel to Keith Ave./Hwy16. The 12-pump gas bar is to spread over three islands, council heard. The developer wants to reduce the front landscape buffer from 2.5 metres to 0.5 metres, and also received a variance so it won’t have to include a loading area. During debate on the issue at a City of Terrace council meeting Sept. 28, councillor Stacey Tyers asked if this means future upgrades, for instance putting a bike path along the edge, would be hindered by businesses jutting so close to Keith Ave./Hwy16, but staffers said that since the buffer is private property, it wouldn’t be part of a new lane regardless. What also concerned council was the possible cost to the city of adjusting traffic signals at the intersection. Councillor Brian Downie worried the city might end up paying for the installation of new left turn signals if the intersection became unmanageable and such an addition to the existing lights was necessary. The city had asked the provincial transportation ministry to help figure out how to proceed with the application. The ministry ended up asking EXP to do a traffic flow analysis which is still underway, and which must be submitted as a condition for the final permitting of the site. The intersection with Kalum is the most accident-prone in town

But she said the ministry and the company spent some time studying the intersection and decided it was doable, though the government said it still has worries about long vehicles entering and exiting. Traffic congestion has been a problem at
Tim Hortons which is currently reconfiguring its drive-thru and entry in conjunction with its soon-to-be new neighbour, Great Canadian Oil Change. “It’s sort of unfortunate that you’re solving the congestion problem, and before that project’s even fixed, you’re piling it back on,” said councillor James Cordeiro. “This is a good problem,” councillor Sean Bujtas suggested, after years of hoping that businesses would come to town. “We have to worry
about traffic.” And Tyers said Petro-Canada should promise it won’t leave another brownfield site behind for the city to clean up. “The idea of approving a future possible brownfield is not that exciting for me,” she said. This will be the second time a 7-11 is to operate in Terrace. A previous store location, now a vacant lot beside Mark’s Work Wearhouse on Lakelse Ave., closed in the early part of the last decade.

Business owner protests sign removal by the city A BUILDING company that had been displaying signs for advertising their new condos says the city’s bylaw officer unfairly removed them from the corner of Hwy 16 and Eby without warning. “He should have phoned us to let us know he was taking them down,” said Virginia Goddard, who owns Deep Creek Masonry along with her husband Kevin, and who is in the process of selling a number of condo units for their recently constructed Sleeping Beauty Estates. When the signs disappeared recently, Virginia and Kevin had to go on a search. “We were going around to see if our signs were getting destroyed, and then we eventually found out.” What they found out was that their signs were all lying in the back of a city pickup truck at the public works yard. The city then wrote them a letter explaining they had been in violation of the sign bylaw that stipulates temporary signs containing advertisements are only allowed on the property for which they are advertising and not on public or other right-ofways.

New landing system bcclassified.com ready for activation THE NORTHWEST Regional Airport’s new instrument landing system (ILS) is scheduled to go into service in the middle of October. Installation took place starting at the end of June and was finished last month. It was then successfully tested by a plane used by NavCanada, the federal not-for-profit agency which runs navigation systems at airports. But the new system won’t officially go into service until the next publication of landing approaches at Canadian airports and that won’t happen until Oct. 15, says NavCanada official Ron Singer. He said the new ILS will more than adequately serve the airport for years to come.
Carman Hendry “Reliability will be increased and a lot of the repairs can be done remotely which wasn’t the case before and that means no one has to travel up [to Terrace],” said Singer. “And maintenance costs will be less.” A piece of equipment called a localizer was replaced and new
antennas were put into place as part of the project which cost an estimated $1 million. An ILS guides pilots to lower altitudes in order to see the runway during inclement weather and then land. The ILS being replaced had been at the end of its life cycle and was subject to more repairs and down time, particularly this past April. It was also taken out of service while the new one was being installed but fog affected flights on just one occasion. Northwest Regional Airport general manager Carman Hendry was happy with the replacement. “It’s going to lower our [landing] limits a little bit more. It’s the newest and best equip-
Awards voting starts this week PUBLIC VOTING begins this week for the Terrace and District’s Chamber of Commerce’s 2015 Business Excellence Awards. Members of the public are being encouraged to select one of three finalists in 12 categories with winners to be announced at a chamber gala Oct. 24, says chamber manager Erika Magnuson-Ford. The three finalists were selected last week by last year’s winners from nominations submitted by members of the public. “It went very well,” said Magnuson-Ford of the finalist selection. She, along with members of the chamber’s board, spent last week contacting the finalists. The 12 categories this year are community booster of the year, company of the year, contributor to the arts, customer service, employee of the year, executive of the year, home-
based business, newsmaker of the year, renovation of the year, rookie of the year, tourism excellence and volunteer of the year. The business excellence gala will be held at a new location this year – the banquet room of the Terrace Sportsplex with tickets on sale now, said Magnuson-Ford. A new gala feature this year is the type of entertainment – Vancouver ventriloquist Norma McKnight. And gala diamond sponsor LNG Canada will also make a presentation. Magnuson-Ford did note that voting for the finalists is open for one week only, giving the chamber time to notify the winners in preparation for the gala. “So that’s why we’re encouraging people to vote early on,” she said. Voting takes place online by going to: https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/2015beavote

ment,” he said. Once operational, the new ILS will further strengthen the airport’s ability to act as a base for industrial and commercial activity within the region, Hendry added. The previous ILS, installed in the early part of the last decade, helped Northwest Regional Airport reverse a reputation for being an airport that was unreliable during periods of inclement weather, forcing either outright flight cancellations or diversions to other airports.

Airport beacons being replaced THE MYSTERY of helicopters flying back and forth over Terrace Mountain last month has been solved. They were part of a project to replace 40-year-old beacons used by pilots landing at Northwest Regional Airport. The work on Terrace Mountain included running a new power line of sufficient size so there’s enough voltage to run the beacon when it’s connected. All told, the project is worth $4.3 million project, says airport manager Carman Hendry. The work started last year and is finishing up now, he said.
The four hazard beacons are “required to help aircraft fly in here in inclement weather,” said Hendry. “It’s strictly a safety thing to identify the safe area to fly,” said Hendry, adding the new beacons are now equipped with LED lights instead of old-fashioned light bulbs. There are four beacons, one in “each corner:” one on Little Herman, one on Big Herman, one on Kitsumkalum Mountain and one on Terrace Mountain, said Hendry. The Terrace Mountain portion of the project involved brushing out a wider right-of-way swath for a power line across a trail network.

Nisga’a to receive taxes And that was for the Avanti Kitsault molybdenum property which was scheduled to start construction this year but has been delayed because of poor markets and not being able to completely raise the capital needed. In that agreement, the Nisga’a signed up to receive a projected $43 million a year over a planned 16-year operating life. As well, the Nisga’a are receiving $123,820 a year from the province in revenue sharing from the newlycompleted Long Lake hydroelectric project near Stewart.
A direct jobs and economic benefits agreement between the Nisga’a and Pretium includes the latter setting a target for mine-related Nisga’a employment and training within the estimated 400 jobs Pretium will create through its planned 18-year operating life. That provision is going to benefit the Nisga’a but other employment and business opportunities will benefit the region, said Stevens. “I can’t stress that enough,” said Stevens of the impact that Pretium will have on the area.

Terrace racers among top in B.C. north By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE’S JAMES Taylor is first among all northern B.C. motocross racers in two classes, with a whopping seven wins in races this season. Having competed in two different classes at 10 events, Taylor won first for MX-2 class with 318 points, and first in the Junior MX-3 class with 395 points. “It was an awesome season,” Taylor said. “I had a few bike issues but managed to borrow bikes from friends, and overall I got the championship [in two classes].” It also went well for Taylor health-wise, with no hard crashes all summer. Taylor is not the only Terrace motocross racer who ranked among the top in the northern B.C. motocross points circuit. The Terrace Motocross Association has more than 12 families who travel regularly to compete in circuit races in Williams Lake, Prince George, Terrace, Quesnel and Chetwynd. At age 20, Taylor says he travels about twice a month all summer. “It’s an awesome sport to get into,” he said. “I’ve got lots of friends down in other towns that I love to go hang out with on weekends. I like to call them my moto families because they take care of me all weekend while I race.” Terrace hosts a circuit race every summer and Taylor and TMA treasurer Jamie Croot both said local races draw lots of racers from across B.C. because of its well-known track.

JAMES TAYLOR carves around a corner at the Terrace Fun Race September 20. Taylor won first in two classes in the northern series of the BC Motocross Association. “We’ve been told it’s one of the best tracks in B.C.” said Croot. “It’s very big. There are lots of big jumps, lots of high-speed corners ... we have great viewing, [and] you can see 90 per cent of the track when you’re up at the top viewing area.” Taylor says it is his favourite track to ride.
“Our facilities out there right now are just unbelievable compared to anywhere else in B.C.,” he said, highlighting great terrain, big jumps, and space to upgrade and change the track every year. Croot says motocross is a sport that is definitely on the rise. Membership is up 30 per
cent from last year, and the Terrace Motocross Association has 150 members this year, she said. Terrace racers range from four years old to over 50, with most between four and eight years, she added. “There are lots of new families out there who are wanting to race and to check it out … We’ve had more
50cc [kids] bike racers and people out there riding than we’ve ever had before.” Croot says the season wrap-up Fun Race on September 20 was really good, with 10 kids on 50cc bikes and 46 racers competing. This year, the association asked for donations at the door, and fundraised $215 to support Annabelle
Demedeiros, a four-year-old Terrace girl in treatment for stage four nervous system cancer. “We have five-year-old girls racing, so it kind of hits home. [Annabelle] could be out there having fun, but instead she’s dealing with all this [cancer treatment],” Croot said, adding that some motocross members are friends of the family. The northern B.C. circuit winners were honoured at a Prince George banquet put on last weekend by the BC Motocross Association. Ten Terrace racers were ranked in the top three for their classes, including Taylor. Jesse Lanterman tied for first in the schoolboy class with 379 points, and he won second in the Junior MX-2 with 314 points. For ages four to six, J.P. Croot won first in the 50cc class with 370 points, and he had four race wins in the season. Foster Armstrong got third in the same class and age, with 305 points and four race wins. For ages 7 to 8, Kohl Devost was first in the 50cc class with 389 points and won three races this season. Carter-Allen Mowbray got second in the same age and class, with 379 points and won three races. Connor Carron won second in the 65cc pee wee circuit with 359 points and third in the 85cc class with 285 points for ages 7 to 11. Austin Devout won second with 288 points in the 85cc for ages 7 to 11. James Gagnon won third with 211 points in the 85cc class for ages 12 to 16.
Mountain stars crowned on cold race day
THE KING of the Mountain race, now in its 38th year, attracted about 50 challengers this time, and organizer Christine Ewald says cold weather may have contributed to a smaller turnout compared to last year when 100 showed up. But the race still turned out to be a triumph of sport and volunteerism, bringing the community together, with runners
navigating the thin trails on the Terrace Mountain overseen by 15 volunteers, with a start and finish line located at the Terrace Sportsplex. According to Ewald, last year the biggest hazard was the bees, while this year it was the slippery terrain and cold weather. The runners said it was fine once they started sweating.

Canucks alumni take on local players
THE CANUCKS meet and greet and alumni game against local players exceeded expectations as a “spectacularly successful” event. That’s how local team organizer Steve Smyth understands it -– he would’ve been at the game for sure if he hadn’t been stuck in a hotel room in Dublin, Ireland waiting for a flight home. “Fans were treated to a very competitive game and the visiting team won,” he said. “The final score was 10-7 so there were lots of goals and the right team won. “The local players had an absolute ball doing it and the Canucks players did as well.” And the arena was sold out for the game. Smyth chose local players with an idea to ensure participation by at least one player from each team in the men’s league, asking the teams to submit two names to him to choose from, he said. He was looking for above average players to give fans a good show and men who were involved in the community, whether that meant as a sponsor a coach or those who really contribute their time, he added. “I think you could look at everyone on that team and say ‘he’s a good human as well as a good hockey player,’” said Smyth. There was no body checking but that didn’t mean that things didn’t happen: players bumped each other occasionally and broke a couple of hockey sticks, he said. “They are NHL players after all, regardless if they’re retired or not,” said Smyth, adding he wishes an alumni game against the Canucks could be played every couple of years rather than every 20 years. Terrace spectators had a chance to see legend Cliff Ronning in action. He was only 5”8 and played a speed game, and was a key player in the run to the Stanley Cup finals in 1994.
O
ctober the first and on cue, bands of yellow appear on the side hills. How does Lavergne Road sound? I ask the dog, who has been giving pleading looks for the better part of an hour. A couple of fishers are up to their knees in the Ferry Island Riffle. If there had been a half dozen, I would have assumed they were lured there by fish, but two is a poor augury from which I can infer nothing. The Skeena is clean. The side channel below the Bridge suggests the Zymoetz is too. Five minutes later, I park next to Parr’s Field and we head down the trail. When we reach the sandy dune, a fish rolls on the edge of the fast water about two long casts from shore. Its size and silver sides, and the time of year, tell me that it’s a coho. I look upstream and see a trio of anglers fishing the shingle favoured by the clients of the Skeena River Fishing Lodge in the summer. Last winter I ran into a pair of steelheading carpenters who were up from the Lower Mainland. They told me they were refurbishing that lodge for the new owners, people from the Lower Mainland who catered to a more sophisticated clientele than the meat fishers who patronized the place heretofore. The fishers I watch are tossing long lines with two-handed fly rods. I deduce they are from the lodge and that they wouldn’t be working that bar if coho or steelhead weren’t about.

Muddy Crown The King of Mountain volunteers, 15 in total, were apparently a bit on the cold side. “All the volunteers were suffering,” said Ewald. And while the runners kept warm from the rush of competition, they didn’t keep clean. “I don’t think anyone bailed, but everyone had muddy legs, search and rescue [volunteers] came out and looked after us.” Last year there was a bees nest located underneath one of the bridges the runners had to traverse, which meant many runners were targeted and stung by the irritated colony. But that’s life for the wilderness runner, and part of the fun lies in the rugged unpredictability of one of Terrace’s most well-known races. Ewald and her business partner, who together own Transcend Fitness, decided to take over organizing the event after the previously owners left town.

October Is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month EDUCATION AND AWARENESS
Thanks to the support and generosity of our donors, we are able to deliver relevant and important breast health education and awareness initiatives. Because breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Canadian women, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation – BC/ Yukon Region plans and delivers breast health education programs which focus on on the importance of risk reduction and early detection, plus helping women make informed choices. The commitment of our donors and supporters has made it possible for us to invest in a range of breast health programs, initiatives and resources. Here are examples of these dollars at work:
Ask an Expert
This program offers the community access to the brightest minds in breast cancer and breast health, providing an opportunity for the public to ask their most pressing questions. A multi-media campaign is used to profile selected experts and to inform the public about how they can ask the experts their questions, via a live web-chat or at a live event.
Breast Health on the Go
Breast Health on the Go is a program designed to provide breast health information, with the intention of educating the public about breast cancer and risk factors for the disease. Two initiatives, Breast Health 101 and Dragon Boat Health Ambassadors, make up the program.
4456 Greig Ave., Terrace, BC
Why not invite CBCF in for a onehour Breast Health 101 session, delivered by a member of the Foundation’s staff? It’s free and will be informative and even entertaining. It’s easy to get a group of people together who are interested in learning about breast health, breast cancer and how to reduce one’s risk of developing the disease.

Sound system pitch made CITY COUNCIL has been asked to help pay the estimated $100,000 cost to buy a new sound system for the Terrace Sportsplex’s larger arena. In making the appeal, Terrace River Kings sponsor Ross Smith told council Sept. 15 people “never hear and understand what the announcers are saying” at sporting and other events.
As a growing city, Terrace should have an arena sound system it can be proud of, added Smith. He said he also has the support of figure skaters and women’s hockey teams. Councillor Sean Bujtas backed the idea, saying it made sense to completely replace the current system because improving just parts might not work.
www.terracestandard.com A27
“You look at the price and you say woooh,” said Bujtas. “If you go replace the amplifier then you go blow out the speakers, and if you replace the speaker and keep the amplifier, you have the same sound all over again.” “That’s why it’s such a big bill... it can’t be done piecemeal,” the councillor continued. But Mayor Carol
Leclerc said the price was high and that the city is holding the line on all spending. Council did resolve, however, through a vote, to give a look at contributing to the project when community grants are handed out in next year’s budget. Council is soon to start deliberating on various spending options leading to its 2016 budget.
Lower voting age wanted COUNCILLORS LISTENED to but didn’t support a pitch made at its Sept. 15 meeting to lower the voting age to 14. Merv Ritchie from the Land Air Water party told council the younger voters are, the more they will be involved in public affairs. He cited the German example where the voting age in some areas for local elections is 16. “We would like to see more people voting and participating in politics, and many of us know, from learning new languages, the best way to learn a new language is
when you are young,” said Ritchie. “By participating young, you can grasp and be completely fluent,” he said. “If we allow and encourage our children to participate in politics at a younger age, they will become much more proficient in understanding politics. “A child at age 13 or 14 can choose which parent he or she chooses to live with,” he said. Children in their early teens also babysit each other and these two facts, Ritchie continued, show that youth are mature enough to also vote.

COAST MOUNTAINS school district distance education and trades centre administrator Geoff McKay and employees Biztha Rancy and Lynda Lang pose with hairdressing chairs.
School district links programs in one spot By JACKIE LIEUWEN THE COAST Mountains School District is linking distance education with a new trades training centre, both housed in the former Thornhill Junior Secondary School building. “It’s a perfect partnership between the distance education and the trades,� says Geoff McKay, who is both principal of the school-district-run North Coast Distance Education School and the technical skills administrator for the district’s new trades training centre. “We may have adult students or even schoolaged students who are taking [a trades program] who are missing one or two courses to graduate. We can provide that onsite, which is why it’s so powerful,� he said. The trades training centre set up shop in the former junior secondary school earlier this year followed by the distance education school which had been housed for years in the century-old school building beside the school district’s main office on Kenney St. The distance education school traditionally enrols 1,000 to 1,200 students from across B.C. With distance learning based online, students can graduate without ever stepping into a school, but McKay says he is excited for the new space and having a classroom available for students if needed.
“Sometimes a person gets stuck for whatever reason, or just needs a little motivation or a little clarification. It’s nice to be able to come and see a teacher and get that. So we are set up for that now in the new school,� he said. The district’s new trades training centre is offering two ACE-IT programs that started early-September – welding and hair dressing in conjunction with Northwest Community College. The welding program is 28 weeks and runs at the college. The hairdresssing program is at the new trades centre and provides students with certification through the Industry Training Authority. “It’s our only program that after 10 months, the individuals who graduate are ready to practice,� said McKay. McKay says the classroom has an area for desks, which is openly connected to the work stations and shampoo chairs, with special lighting so hair colour looks the same in the facility as outside. There is also the capability to stage video conferencing sessions in the future. The trades centre and distance education occupy over half of the space in the school building.
