Crucial stage for LNG project THE NEXT step toward a small liquefied natural gas (LNG) project being planned near Kitimat should be known within days. That’s because Pacific Northern Gas (PNG), which would supply the natural gas to the Douglas Channel LNG project, has to tell the BC Utilities Commission whether it wants to build a 10-inch line just for the project or a larger 30inch line sufficient for that project and for other potential ones in the same area. The company will file to the utilities commission by Jan. 29, building off of approval given last November for PNG to build either line. The approval for either line, both of which would be approximately 9km in length from the current end of PNG’s natural gas line in Kitimat, is part of a series of complex moves involving PNG’s parent company, AltaGas of Calgary. AltaGas is a partner with Japanese energy giant Idemitsu Kosan and with international energy trader EDF Trading and Belgium-based energy shipper and provider EXMAR in Douglas Channel LNG. In turn, AltaGas and Idemitsu Canada are partners in a second potential LNG project known as Triton and going ahead of this one would require the larger 30-inch line. That line would also be sufficient to

supply a third potential LNG project, Cedar, which is backed by the Haisla Nation. All three LNG projects would have gas-cooling plants housed on floating barges and the Haisla would benefit from both Douglas Channel and Triton in addition to Cedar. If PNG tells the utilities commission it wants to build the larger 30-inch line, it would need to build what would be a companion natural gas line to its existing 10-inch line stretching west of Prince George which now serves customers in the northwest. It is commonly known as the “looping project” and PNG has already filed a project description with provincial environmental regulators in preparation for eventual construction approval. Neither PNG nor parent AltaGas have signalled its intentions leading up to the Jan. 29 filing deadline date and the utilities commission has said it has yet to hear from PNG. “There’s still really nothing to say,” said AltaGas official Sandra Semple last week. At a planned export volume of up to 550,000 tonnes of LNG annually, Douglas Channel LNG would be the smallest of the nearly 20 LNG projects under consideration along B.C.’s coast.

More nurses to be hired

TERRACE COULD very well be in line to have vacant nursing positions here filled thanks to an agreement reached by the provincial government and the BC Nurses’ Union last week. But details are still being worked out, says the Northern Health Authority’s Jonathon Dyck. The overall agreement calls for 1,600 positions to be filled across B.C. with 100 of those for the north. The health authority’s jobs website indicates there are 12 positions vacant here and 39 within the northwest. “With any type of recruitment for nurses, there is a process we have to follow, and that includes going through an internal posting and an external posting,” said Dyck. “We are very early on in this process,” he said. Last week’s agreement follows on one reached four years ago between the

nurses’ union and the province which called for more than 2,100 positions to be filled but critics have pointed out that that agreement remains largely unfilled. Nurses’ union officials expect nurses now employed as casuals to apply for the positions which are to be classified as regular jobs. The province has budgeted $500,000 for recruitment and has set the end of March to have the positions filled. The greatest need across the province is for specialty nurses. The nursing job postings for Terrace include three for Licenced Practical Nurses, two for psychiatric nurses and one for a mental health clinician. There are also two general nursing positions, and positions open in critical care, acute care, the operating room, and maternity. Of those, three are full time, one is part time, and eight are casual jobs.

Terrace RCMP seize drugs TERRACE RCMP say they used a search warrant last week to seize marijuana, cash and drug trafficking paraphernalia and have forwarded informa-

tion regarding trafficking to federal prosecutors who will decide if a 29-year-old man will be charged. “An engaged public is our

most effective crime fighting tool. If you suspect drug trafficking call us. Policing is a community effort,” said RCMP Sgt. Mike Robinson.

Nass RCMP target valley bootleggers NASS VALLEY RCMP officers continue efforts to contain the illegal sale of alcohol in the valley north of Terrace, and have made three liquor seizures in several months, with one resulting in a person scheduled to make a court appearance. The latest seizure involved police confiscating 16 bottles of hard liquor from a vehicle officers stopped on Hwy113, the only route into the Nass Valley from Terrace. “One of the primary focuses of the detachment is gathering intelligence and seizing liquor and charging people with illegal sales of alcohol,” said Sgt. Jim Fenske, who is in charge of the Lisims/ Nass Valley RCMP detachment. “The biggest thing we have is unlawful sales, which is people going to Terrace, buying bulk and coming up here and selling it.” “We have charged one who is going to court in the spring,” Fenske said last week. “And we have made a seizure on the highway with information we had about somebody potentially bringing a bunch of liquor back to resell, so we have had some successes.” That one charge is an allegation of an adult providing alcohol to a minor. The highway search and seizures are conducted through legislation concerning liquor control and licensing and the Motor Vehicle Act. “Due to the really good work of our First Nations police officers, we are get-

ting more information forwarded to us constantly in regards to illegal alcohol sales and drug sales, and when we get information we can act on it,” said Fenske. There is no legal sales outlet for alcohol in the Nass Valley, which is one of several factors which encourages the illegal sale of alcohol. “There are people with substance abuse issues in the valley just like everyone else and sometimes they are more marginalized folks who can’t get to Terrace to purchase liquor legally as adults so there is a bit of a black market and the resale value is higher of course,” said Fenske. “This is a money making venture. Everywhere I have been in the north, this is a problem. It doesn’t matter if it’s B.C. or the Yukon. The same philosophy applies, it’s a money-making thing,” he added of illegal alcohol sales. Retired New Aiyansh village councillor Stephen Johnson said he has long advocated for cracking down on bootlegging, and that when there did exist a cold wine and beer in Nass Camp near New Aiyansh, the problem was even worse. He says that limiting alcohol in the Nass Valley would lower the suicide rate. “I have been to a lot of funerals,” Johnson said, adding that alcohol was frequently a contributing factor to the early death.

Have faith

Zion Baptist Church began with five families and 24 charter members 60 years ago

hat started out as an idea to start a church has turned into a thriving ministry more than half a century later. Zion Baptist Church congregation celebrated 60 years on January 8 with several of their charter members still at the church. There are 46 members and Sunday morning attendance is around 60. The church began when the North American Baptist Conference decided to help German immigrants settle here. The agreement was that the conference would buy and help clear the land and that the families would plant a church. The North American Baptist Conference bought land in Old Remo. Five families were interested and John Bahr was sent to check out possibilities and markets for vegetables. With a favourable report, three families came out in September 1955 and the rest followed the next spring. Bahr farm was built out in Old Remo where it still is today. Zion began January 8, 1956 with 24 charter members, three of whom are still attending the church: Jurgen Bahr, Dieter Bahr and Anneliese (Bahr) Rauschenberger. Services were in German and took place late in the afternoon at the Terrace Gospel Church on Agar Avenue beside the tackle shop. The first elections were held on May 13, 1956 and the first moderator was Rev. J. Rauschenberger, the building committee was Jakob Rauschenberger, Daniel Westeroth, Paul Botin, John Bahr, Oswald Klukas. The first Sunday School teachers were Molly Rapski, Ruth Schaelor, Louise Klukas. The first young people’s gathering was on Sunday September 16, 1956 at the Rapske’s and the first young people’s leader was Lloyd

Rempel from Winnipeg. On September 2, 1956, Zion officially joined the North American Baptist conference. The church had already grown to 48 members by the end of 1956. Wanting to have worship services Sunday mornings instead of afternoons, the congregation moved to rent the Seventh-day Adventist Church on Lakelse Avenue across from Safeway at the end of 1956 or beginning of 1957. They formed a ladies group early in 1957 who became very active, doing White Cross work rolling bandages, making blankets and night shirts for babies for missions overseas. In 1958, the church bought the piece of land where it sits now and construction began on November 10, 1959 with mostly volunteer labour. At the end of May or June 1961, the church building was dedicated. That same year the decision was made to have English services on Sunday evenings. The first baptism took place on Easter Sunday April 2, 1961 with five to be baptized: Dieter Bahr, Emil and Alwine Kuest, Christel and Peter Nahirney and Ed Rauschenberger. On April 7, 1963 the church welcomed the first paid pastor family of Rev. Arthur Gellert and Sister Edelgard and girls Gerlinde, Deloris and Ruby. In total, Zion has had 18 pastors in their 60 years, including those who helped out between hired pastors. In 1988 they decided to expand the existing building southward. In recent years, the church has added an annual Pumpkin Party at Halloween, Easter egg hunt at Easter and held its first Vacation Bible School in 2015. They also serve a meal as a soup kitchen at the church every Thursday.

EDITORIAL

Equity GO right back to the Bible, Joshua 9:23, and you might find a definition that many hold true of the Canadian economy: “Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.” Which is to say Canadians are forever in servitude to others when it comes to control of natural resources, how they are used and developed and who benefits. Successive court rulings regarding aboriginal rights and title to land and resources have now elevated that issue in regards to how First Nations can fully and equitably participate in resource extraction and use. While companies with large projects now routinely make provisions for First Nation businesses and individuals to benefit from either contracts or employment, the challenge has been how to provide the wherewithal for First Nations to not only have a piece of the pie but the bakery which produces it. Step forward a new body called the First Nations Major Projects Coalition which says one of the drawbacks to First Nations ownership in projects is the inability to secure financing. Its solution is to have loans backed by federal government guarantees, not an unusual proposition given that governments do this within other economic sectors. The federal government would do well to consider the idea.

Product shifting proving to be confusing

he first stop on my weekly shopping trips has been the Real Canadian Wholesale Club where I could quickly load a cart with weekly staples – dogfood, cleaning supplies, produce, baking ingredients, and other sundries. By arriving early when few shoppers shared the aisles I was soon on my way into town for 10 a.m. appointments. Lately, though, since Loblaw’s head office in Brampton decreed shifting things around on the shelves until neither customers nor staff know where many items are to be found, shopping at this store has taken lots longer. A quick example – yeast has moved from eye level near the front of row 16 to well above my vision on the opposite side at the back. Short staffing has consistently been a shopping drawback at this store. With so much recent rearranging I find myself invading personnel-only areas for directions to where I’ll find something, or asking someone stocking vitamins or cosmetics for the price of blueberries because she’s the only staffer in sight. So drastic has been the

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI shelf shuffle it’s become common for a procession of willing customers and staffers to help us look for an item we’ve bought each week but now cannot locate. For instance, November 24 an older Kitimat couple leaned on their cart, resting, as two staffers and a customer took over their hunt for dried cranberries. While the search went on, the couple told me of No Frills opening a new store in Kitimat; still they preferred to patronize Canadian Wholesale but the inconvenience of finding things had them reconsidering. The searchers concluded

the store had no dried cranberries. Some bulk sizes have been replaced by smaller containers. Crisco sold in 3 lb. cans for $7.59, now is available only in one pound bricks priced at $4.29. Or $12.87 for three pounds. Lemon dishwashing liquid sold before as 5 L for $7.28 is now packaged in 950mL bottles at $1.97, an equivalent $9.85 for slightly less cleaner. Some favourite products have been discontinued – such as the two-inch wide white rawhide strips my dogs enjoyed – while new products appear. Loblaw’s willy nilly cancellation of tried and true products annoys me. I’ve concluded the store’s head office disregards both the manager’s supply orders and his on-site judgement of the products his customers want. Wouldn’t the manager be a better judge of what his customers want and what his store can sell? Produce aisles were clogged December 9 with palettes piled waist high with goods marked “50% off for quick sale”: clamshells of salad; cupcakes and other

S TANDARD

baked goods many bearing best before dates three days hence. The overstock, I was told, was due to a truckload sale. The result was neither staff nor customers could easily get by. The following week many salad shelves were bare. An inability to find things quickly where we expect them so we can plan an efficient circular route through the store is disconcerting and time wasting for both staff and customers. We are forever bothering staff to point out where items are, to tell us what the price might be (short staffing leads to many prices not being marked, and prices out of date which in turn leads to overcharging at the checkout.) Always check your cashier printout for overcharges before leaving the store. You may be glad you did. Until I learn where my usual supplies are displayed I may have to bypass this store if I have an early appointment. Unless I get up an hour earlier I won’t have time to fit in the stop.

The Mail Bag Medical bus service fails passenger

Time to stop the panhandling An open letter to: The City of Terrace council and city residents. Dear Councillors: Please do some thing about the panhandling in Terrace. It is a darn embarassment to the city of Terrace and for any tourists to visit downtown Terrace. We the residents and tourists are constantly affronted by people asking for change to buy coffee or bumming ciga-

rettes. Asking for spare change next to a beer store – for coffee? Yeah right, do the math. I don’t know if there is a city-by-law about panhandling in Terrace. If there is then it is definitely not being enforced. If there is no such bylaw one needs to be made. We have new city councillors elected every four years. Let’s see this city council step up to the plate and do something about this embarrassing problem.

The biggest problem I know of for pan handling is around the Safeway, Brolly Square, and the cold beer store right across the street. Everyone in town knows it is a problem. How many people have had verbal and physical confrontations with such encounters of such individuals begging for beer money? I myself am a frequent visiter to the cold beer store on Lakelse Ave. Pretty well every time I go there or am close by I am harassed for change.

When I say ‘no’, (and I always so ‘no’) I am called a redneck or white trash. I have physical confrontations with these individuals. I do not want to go to jail or get a criminal record for assault for defending myself for just saying a simple ‘no’. I have to work to buy my beer and cigarettes. I don’t stand on street corners asking people to support me. I don’t like being verbally or physically assaulted when I say ‘no’.

Dear Sir: Over the holidays my husband required emergency eye surgery at Vancouver General Hospital. He was cleared for travel but not allowed to fly. I checked the online schedule for the Northern Health Authority’s medical health bus and was able to book him on the 8 a.m. bus leaving Jan. 2, 2016 from Vancouver to Prince George and on to Terrace. Although a one way ticket was all he needed, l ended up booking a return ticket Dec. 31, 2015 because the number listed on the website for one way travel booking kept me on hold for almost an hour without anyone answering or taking a message. The morning my husband was to leave he found himself waiting in vain for 45 minutes at the scheduled departure point for the bus which is the Best Western Hotel in Vancouver. Nobody knew any details about the bus service at the hotel, nobody answered the phone (again) at Diversified Transportations which operates the medical transport bus. He had a valid ticket, confirmation number, and the VISA card bill showing a payment of $80 – all for a ghost bus! What does one do in such a situation, on his own and two days out from surgery on both eyes? He was then forced to take another taxi to the main bus station and sit around for 12 hours waiting for the Greyhound bus to leave Vancouver at 9:30 pm! He had already stayed an additional night at the hotel in order to take what he assumed would be the medical transport bus back to Terrace. More and more expenses adding up to nothing.

he job and tax revenue promises associated with the various planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) project(s) feature many of the forecasting gimmicks described by researchers Tetlock and Gardner in The Art and Science of Prediction and Nobel economists Akerlof and Shiller in Phishing for Phools. The provincial government’s offer is more Hallelujah Chorus than economic equilibria. LNG forecasts, typical of any megaproject announcement, promise tax revenues in the millions of dollars and jobs by the thousands. They never identify the source of those new taxes (income, property, sales), nor do they identify the collecting government (federal, provincial, municipal). As to the promised jobs, a job includes anything from casual part-time minimum wage employment to bonus-rich chief executive positions. In terms of economic significance, there is no difference between natural gas, oil, and coal

in any form and from any source. Raw materials are essential to any economy, but enduring wealth is created by added value of producing something – anything – from raw materials. Rather than allowing our debate on the economy to be dominated by yet another mega project, we ought to step back, pause, and give a thought to what the future may hold. Canada declared its intention to ratify the December 2015 Paris agreement on the environment. This agreement calls for the world economy – that includes Terrace – to be carbon-neutral sometime after 2050, but before 2100. The timeline may appear generous, but from the perspective of a person of my age, years go by quickly. The global population is still growing, and if we add to that moderate economic growth, how are we to achieve a carbonneutral economy? We need to start working toward that goal now. We cannot waste time; we must create opportunities.

GUEST COMMENT

ANDRE CARREL We could look to the 2010 renewable energy pilot project of BC Hydro and the City of Terrace for inspiration. BC Hydro lent the city a used hybrid, which the city then bought in 2011. BC Hydro installed solar panels on City Hall to help off-set the power used by the electric car. Kings Canyon Unified School District in San Joaquim, California did such a project on a vastly larger scale in

2014. It converted its entire fleet of school buses to all-electric. The school district did not purchase a fleet of all-electric buses; it converted its existing buses by replacing their conventional fuel powertrains with electric powertrains in their existing chassis. School buses are ideally suited for conversion to all-electric drive. They are operated for relatively short durations and spend many hours parked where their batteries can be recharged. Terrace has the trades and shops with the necessary capacity and skills required to convert our school bus fleet to all-electric drive. The experience gained from such a project could be applied to other heavy-duty vehicles in Terrace, both municipal and private. We could also look ahead to generating our own electricity to power our local electric vehicle fleet. We should analyze the effectiveness of the city’s solar panels and explore the feasibility of wind turbines for that purpose. We could design and construct

a power charging infrastructure to service a growing fleet of electric vehicles in our town. All of this would require money. However, as the Vancouver Olympics and our military engagements abroad have proven, when a project is backed by political will, money is never a problem. Projects of this kind would not only generate local employment and tax revenues, it may attract investment and, as a bonus, would reduce our school district’s energy costs over the long term. City council, First Nations, the school board and Chamber of Commerce should meet to establish a joint committee giving it a broad mandate, clear objectives, and reasonable timelines to get the ball rolling. Forget the LNG bandwagon. Instead of chasing mega project dreams, look to the city’s 2010 pilot project as an incentive to build an environmentally responsible local economy. Retired public sector administrator Andre Carrel lives in Terrace, B.C.

Bus service fails rider

Is this the kind of service Diversified Transportation can get away with? Why was the online booking service not adjusted for the holiday schedule? How can the company take money for a bus service that does not exist? This is not only bad service, it is also illegal. Moreover, this disrespectful treatment of its passengers jeopardizes the health of patients who need to rely on the medical bus to get them to the hospital and back home. How dare he require medical attention at a time when Diversified Transportation decides to go on holiday - without updating its booking system or leaving at least an informative message on its phone system. I have since spoken twice with a Diversified Transportation manager and the company has a agreed to refund the Greyhound ticket price and for one of the nights my husband had to spend in a hotel in Vancouver. I also understand the Northern Health Authority now says there was a “glitch” in the system by which it communicates patient travel information and it is correcting this. That aside, there remains a communications gap between Vancouver General Hospital, Mills Memorial Hospital, the Northern Health Authority and Diversified about the impact of any reduction of transportation services over the Christmas break. Diversified now says it is taking steps to fix that gap and it has since printed new pamphlets containing up to date information but I do wonder why that is happening only now. Why did it take place only after my husband found himself standing on a Vancouver street corner only to find out the medical transport bus would not arrive? Clearly, Diversified and the Northern Health Authority need to do better so that this does not happen again. Sabina Lautensach, Terrace, B.C.

Stop the panhandling I see a police presence in the area often but the offenders do not learn their lessons, apparently. I don’t know about local bylaws or provincial bylaws on this matter, so I would appreciate someone in power, locally or provincially, to look into this matter. I understand the RCMP can only do so much, so maybe a stricter by law for panhandling is required. Another issue – it has been published in The Terrace Standand over the last couple of years – is that pedestrians are being hit by drivers. Yes, you guessed it. It is the drunks walking out in traffic. I recall one woman saying she has been hit twice. Well I wonder why? I have heard in this town people deliberately step out in traffic to get hurt and get insurance money to buy more booze. I have seen first hand these drunks and panhandlers being arrested by the RCMP. Good job to them. I have seen the crap the Mounties go through and still get accused of wrongdoing. Stop breaking the law if you don’t want to be arrested. Make some panhanding laws with some teeth. Town council, do something. I want to buy a load of bread and two liters of milk at Safeway with out being asked for spare change Eric Nielsen, Terrace, B.C.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan: BC Hydro Facilities 2016-2021

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies. The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation at BC Hydro facilities to maintain safe and reliable operations which support the delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of British Columbia where BC Hydro has operational or planned facilities such as electrical substations, generation switchyards, generating sites, communication sites, storage sites, administrative buildings, or land owned or leased for future facilities. The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021. Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual brushing, girdling, hand-pulling, hedge trimming, mowing, pruning, weed trimming or tree removal), cultural (gravel/hard surfacing, planting ground cover), biological (release of parasitic insects to control noxious and invasive plants) or chemical (herbicide application) techniques, or any combination of these methods. The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include: ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

acetic acid – Ecoclear, Munger’s Hort Vinegar or equivalent, aminocyclopyrachlor and chlorsulfuron – Truvist or equivalent aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl – Navius or equivalent aminopyralid – Milestone or equivalent aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl – ClearView or equivalent aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, and fluroxypyr – Sightline or equivalent aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl and triclopyr – Clearview Brush or equivalent Chlorsulfuron – Telar or equivalent Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent clopyralid – Lontrel, Transline or equivalent or equivalent dicamba – Vanquish, Banvel or equivalent dichlorprop-P and 2,4-D – Estaprop XT or equivalent

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive or equivalent diuron – Karmex, Diurex 80 WDG or equivalent flumioxazin – Payload or equivalent glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent indaziflam – Esplanade or equivalent metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent picloram – Tordon 22k, Tordon 101 or equivalent picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent Trifluralin – BioBarriere, Treflan or equivalent 2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent

Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with a herbicide to improve its effectiveness, such as: nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol – Agral 90, paraffinic oils – Gateway, octadec-9-enoic acid as methyl and ethyl esters – Hasten NT, or siloxylated polyether – Xiameter or equivalents. The proposed methods for applying herbicides include: soil applied techniques (backpack sprayer, powerhose or fixed boom sprayer), cut surface, basal bark, backpack foliar, mechanized foliar (fixed nozzle, boom directed nozzle, wick sprayer), and injection (hack and squirt, lance or syringe) techniques. A draft copy of the proposed PMP is available at bchydro.com/pestplanforfacilities. Alternatively, it is available in person at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby; 1401 Kalamalka Lake Road, Vernon; 18475 128 Street, Surrey; 400 Madsen Road, Nanaimo; 3333 22 Avenue, Prince George. BC Hydro, the applicant for the proposed PMP, is located at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4X8. Please contact Tom Wells, Vegetation Program Manager, at 604 516 8943 or thomas.wells@bchydro.com for more information. A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the above address within 30 days of the publication notice.

City homeless group Concert postponed begins to explore issues A HOMELESSNESS task group set up by the city late last year to examine solutions to the homeless problem is honing in on what it calls “deliverables”, in other words concrete plans to help solve the homelessness problem in Terrace. At the recent meeting of the representatives from various social and governmental agencies (though no representative from the actual homeless community) they heard from BC Housing about everything it does for the homeless, with official Malachy Tohill from the organization presenting to the group. Councillor Stacey Tyers, who is one of the city council’s appointees to the committee, said Tohill mentioned things that would be nice in Terrace, but which would require a lot of money to accomplish namely more social housing. What the group does want is to speak with agencies in town – such ones providing shelters – and social services and health units to update information packages for the homeless about where the shelters are and what resources are available. For example, shower tickets are available so people who need a shower can take one at the local

A BENEFIT concert for the homeless scheduled for last Saturday was postponed because of two deaths in the Nass Valley. It was to be held by the Magagaleehl Nisga’a mass band from the valley. The concert will instead be held Feb. 20 at the Kitsumkalum hall at Kitsumkalum, said Tracey McKay, one of the concert’s organizers. “Our communities in the Nass Valley have experienced two recent losses. We were reminded by our elders with respect to protocol that we as a nation need to be responsive to as set out in Ayuukw Nisga’a (Nisga’a Laws), she said of the postponement. The Majagalee Nisga’a translates as “Flower of the Nass Valley”. Planning for the concert began last fall in response to the growing number of homeless people in Ter-

laundromat, and the self-described homelessness survival guide will tell them where such tickets are available. One of the problems that was highlighted at the meeting was the lack of flow-through housing defined as no housing for people after a stay in an emergency shelter or after receiving extended medical care in a facility. A 91-room BC Housing complex in Prince George called the Victoria Towers opened in 2012, and Tyers said it runs well with different social agencies contracted to tend to various areas of the building based on needs. Two groups with needs, Tyers continued, are young people and people with health problems. Such a building, and such a program is what Terrace needs, said Tyers. Councillor Michael Prevost, who also sits on the homelessness committee, said the group is looking forward to hearing more about what has been done in other cities to see what can happen in Terrace. The group is chaired by Danielle Lavoie who works for the Kermode Friendship Society.

race. “Funds will go towards existing facilities that are in need of funds to assure programs can continue to run or purchase of necessary beds, blankets, equipment, etc.,” said McKay. The concert has the support of the Nisga’a Lisims Government, the four Nisga’a villages in the Nass Valley, the Nisga’a Terrace local and the Kermode Friendship Centre. Also involved are the Salvation Army and the Field of Faith Foundation, a group started late last year in Terrace which provides food and clothing one evening each week at George Little Park. The City of Terrace has offered to accept donations collected at the event which will then be provided to the city. It will then issue charitable donation receipts to the donors and then redirect the monies received back to the event.

Phil Burton, a botanist by training, teaches in Terrace and specializes in forest ecology in addition to duties here as a program administrator for the university.

Between them, the editors pour over approximately 500 submissions a year with 15 published each month.

Accounting firm merges Feb. 1 A WELL-KNOWN Terrace-based accounting firm is to become part of a larger accounting and consulting firm as of Feb. 1. The announcement regarding McAlpine & Co., which this year marks 50 years in business, and MNP LLP, the fifth largest firm of its type in Canada, was made Jan. 19. “MNP has 19 offices in B.C., including three northern B.C. locations in Prince George, Fort St. John and Vanderhoof and we have been looking for likeminded firms to build on our strategic plans for growth in northern B.C.,” said MNP official Darren Turchansky. “Terrace is the regional service hub with many of the business, retail, medical and government services for the northwestern portion of British Columbia. As the economy of Terrace grows, so do the needs of the business community and we recognize that both the community and our firm have an opportunity to grow together.” Michael Johnson, one of three McAlpine partners, said the move

Last video store is closing THE OWNER of Terrace’s last video store, Video Stop, has decided to hit the stop button and close up shop after a decade of diminishing sales. When owner Harminder Dosanjh bought the rental outlet in 2000, it was a money-maker for the first five years, after which she said local interest in renting movies dwindled. In the beginning, the store was located where Gemma’s Boutique currently is on the corner of Emerson and Lakelse, and then she had the store in the mall in the current location of SportChek. Back then a company called Movie Gallery also had two rental stores in town. When it closed its Gobinder Mall outlet, Dosanjh moved the Video Stop to that location. “I had three kids, they all worked there, it was a good business,” she said. The roots of the store actually go back to 1983. A previous owner, Jim Wold, had the store on Lakelse for a time. Over years as the business switched locations, the moviewatching landscape was transforming. “I have no idea,” Dosanjh says about how many videos the store has accumulated over the years, though it could be approximately 30,000, according to

Right now, the store is selling off its inventory leading to a final inbusiness date of Feb. 1. “I am sad to be closing,” Dosanjh said. “It’s good to be my own boss, and I have wonderful employees.” “I will be sad to not have a video store to

other venture. “You just have to be a little bit more creative, which I didn’t really want to do, like putting some more stuff for sale,” she said. “I think that’s what’s happening more and more.”

Refinery plan missing pipelines and terminal A PLANNED (US) $11 billion oil refinery between Terrace and Kitimat doesn’t include an export terminal or the pipelines to take the finished product from the facility to the terminal. And refinery builder Pacific Future Energy has not yet found a partner to build either the pipelines, one to carry gas and the other diesel, or the terminal, says company official Don MacLachlan. “The pipeline and terminal are not part of our project,” said MacLachlan last week. Pacific Future Energy two weeks ago released its project plan to produce gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and butane and submitted it to government regulators. It would refine crude oil shipped to it in railcars, as many as three or four trains a day of 120 cars each, from the Alberta oil sands which is considered a safe alternative to shipping the product via a pipeline. But instead of shipping the refined product on tankers from Kitimat via the Douglas Channel to the ocean, the company has marked out the Portland Inlet, 120 kilometres to the north, as a possible location for an export terminal. The two pipelines would have to cross the Skeena River in some fashion to reach the inlet. Pacific Future Energy, in its project proposal says the Portland Inlet location comes

BACKERS OF a proposed oil refinery near Kitimat have suggested its final products would be shipped north via pipeline to an export terminal on Portland Inlet. from what it calls “early third-party studies” but has yet to release those studies or provide further details. Such an arrangement, where refineries don’t own the facilities carrying the final product onward, is similar to how other refineries work, says the vicepresident of the Canadian Fuels Association. “As an example in Edmonton, there are three refineries there and each of them is con-

nected to pipelines that transport the product all the way to Vancouver or south to Calgary or east all the way to Winnipeg, but in all cases, those pipelines are owned independently of refineries and in each case it’s a little different [in terms of the ownership structure],” said Brian Ahearn. In one such scenario, the pipeline owner charges a toll to the refinery for the amount of petroleum that’s

shipped. Petroleum engineering professor Pedro Almao from the University of Calgary said the type of setup described in the Pacific Future Energy proposal is uncommon, though not unheard of for a coastal refinery. “Most commonly the refinery is built close to the port which is more optimal for consumables of the refinery and for disposal,” he said.

The reaction to the refinery plan has been mixed in the Terrace community, with at least one potentially implicated First Nation saying it doesn’t like the way the refinery plan has rolled out so far. Kitsumkalum chief councillor Don Roberts says he’s unhappy with the way the Pacific Energy Future Corporation went about introducing the plan, that the company went public before he had a chance to respond to the project.

“We are annoyed at having our name as a consultation band,” said Roberts. “Kitsumkalum is not in support of raw bitumen moving by pipeline or train, or something of that nature.” He added that he received the project description not long ago and feels it was “a short period” in which to respond. “I don’t want to go there,” said Roberts about the prospect of pipelines crossing the Skeena River in some fash-

doubts coastal refinery projects make sense economically. Knox said that while it’s true that refined products such as gas and diesel evaporate rather than sink like raw bitumen in the case of a leak, spilled gas will mix in the turbulence of the water column and be lethal to young salmon. “Because the turbulence in the water is mixed, some of the materials will evaporate relatively quickly but have an immediate impact.”

Propane to roll through on CN line THE EQUIVALENT of 50-60 railcars a day of propane could be rolling through Terrace on CN’s main line daily by 2018 bound for Prince Rupert should an export terminal plan announced last week by Calgary-based AltaGas come to pass. The terminal, to cost between $400 million and $600 million would be built on Ridley Island on land leased from the federal crown corporation Ridley Island Terminals which in turns leases it from the Prince Rupert Port Authority, another federal crown agency. Up to 1.2 million tonnes a year of propane would be shipped to Asian markets by 2018 should AltaGas receive its required regulatory approvals. It anticipates making a final investment decision later this year. The company announced last year it was making progress on the project but its location only came to light last week. “We had been looking for a good site for years now on the West Coast and this one really seemed to be the best possible one for us as it’s an existing facility. There’s already a world class marine jetty. It’s brownfield, it’s on an existing industrial site, and we know Prince Rupert, our affiliate Pacific Northern Gas serves Prince Rupert,” said AltaGas executive vice-president John Lowe. “We like the area and it’s a really good fit for us. AltaGas already has a propane export terminal in Washington State. The fuel would come from Alberta and B.C. and the AltaGas already owns or is partners in processing facilities. Whether the railcars would be added to CN’s regular train service or if they would be on dedicated trains has yet to be determined. AltaGas says it has completed preliminary engineering and the front end engineering and design study has begun. It is already in talks with regional First Nations and regulatory officials. Should the terminal be constructed, it would add considerably to the

AltaGas footprint in northwestern B.C. It spent $1 billion to build three run-of-river hydroelectric projects along the Iskut River northeast of B.C., the last of which was com-

pleted and in operation as of late last year. Power generated there is fed into the provincial power grid through BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line.

Its purchase of regional natural gas utility Pacific Northern Gas came in 2011, providing it with an existing natural gas pipeline it hopes to leverage into at least one small liquefied

natural gas (LNG) plant near Kitimat called Douglas Channel LNG. One of its partners in that project, Indemitsu of Japan, is also a partner with AltaGas in a second potential LNG

plant in the same area as the Douglas Channel LNG project called Triton. Formed in 1994, AltaGas now has operating assets worth more than $8 billion.

Heritage society to get cenotaph on new map Public can help with photographs and information By MARGARET SPEIRS

MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO

HELENE MCRAE and the Terrace Regional Historical Society are looking to get the cenotaph on Heritage BC’s War Memorials and Monuments map.

THE TERRACE Regional Historical Society has a plan for the cenotaph just in time for the 50th anniversary of its unveiling and are looking for some help from the public too. At its January meeting, the society decided to ask for help from the city to get the cenotaph on Heritage BC’s new program Get on the Map: War Monuments and Memorials in British Columbia, which will be an interactive online map. The Terrace cenotaph is one of more than 6,000 monuments and memorials dedicated to Canada’s war dead in the First and Second World Wars. The society is gathering information and photos about the cenotaph, but have come up short on certain types of photos. Photos of the unveiling ceremony of the cenotaph on Nov. 6, 1966 are quite difficult to find; there is one on a scanned copy of a page from the Terrace Omineca Herald from Nov. 9, 1966 and another on a page from Nov. 10, 1978 but that’s all that’s been found, according to society member Helene McRae. Anyone with photos of the unveiling of the cenotaph is asked to contact the society or the city so the photos can be included in the application to Heritage BC. Also, McRae noted that the stonework below the base of the cenotaph wasn’t there at the unveiling or

in the 1978 photo and was added later. She isn’t sure when it was added or who did the stonework and would like to find out. She believes it’s sometime between 1978 and about 1985, when photos of the cenotaph show the stonework too. Anyone who knows when the cenotaph was raised and put on top of the added stonework and who did the stonework itself can contact the society or the city. McRae said local historian Yvonne Moen and one of the city planners, Ken Newman, are assisting the society with the application to get on the map. Newman assisted with the cenotaph’s GPS coordinates, letting the society know what kind of information was needed and after the society gathers photos, articles and any other information, he will put it together, fill out the forms and submit it. The deadline for information to be submitted to the program is March 1. Heritage BC’s project will be accessible to everyone online and serve as an educational resource about Canada’s war effort and the effects on local communities. It gives communities the opportunity to share their stories, heritage, and history. War memorials and monuments can include not just cenotaphs but also commemorative plaques, park gates or whole buildings.

Book details lesser-known logging in area CEDAR POLES and Iron Peevees: Pole Logging in the Kitsumkalum Valley recounts a lesser known part of the logging industry here. Flush with photos, the book details the early part of the century when the LH&K Mill was established when George Little’s sawmill, the largest in Terrace, was sold to George’s son Dudley Little, Chris Haugland, and Duncan Kerr, who named the sawmill after themselves. It details how logs were loaded, transported and off loaded in various ways and includes memories and photos from John Wright, who began his 43year forestry career here working for LH&K. “Our society’s hope with this book was that it would encourage more people to write down and publish the history of the forest industry in this area,” says Norma Kerby, who researched, wrote and put the book together. Trees logged in the Kalum Valley would be taken along Kalum River to Mud River and the 17 Mile Mill, and then to LH&K Mill in Terrace. Fred Kerby, who owned Skeena Valley Transport, was contracted to haul poles in the late 1940s and 1950s from the 17 Mile Mill to LH&K. The iron peevee, or peavey, in the book’s title was used to help workers move huge logs onto trucks or off into the water. Invented in the 1850s as an improvement to the cant hook, it had a hardwood handle with a spike used to grab a log and a hook with a pivot, allowing it to attach to logs of different sizes, giving the user leverage. A peevee made it possible for two or three men to load a 60foot long cedar pole onto a log deck or truck. Cedar Poles and Iron Peevees: Pole Logging in the Kitsumkalum Valley is available at Misty River Books.

JUST A THOUGHT

EV BISHOP

What do you know? one. Many years ago, when I was a very young teenager, I went out to the shop in our yard to get my dad for dinner and I found him talking into a tape recorder and crying. Even now it’s a really hard memory for me. He was horribly embarrassed. I was horribly embarrassed. He apologized and tried to explain. He was just very lonely, and didn’t have anyone to really talk to about certain things. And so he talked into a recorder while he worked. It helped him sort through and make sense of some stuff.

While the explanation made the whole thing even harder for me, or I should say, sadder, it was also a very good lesson—on being a grown-up (something that at that point I still equated as being a magical state of everything-wonderful) and on being human. People are meant to ease the loneliness of existence by communicating and sharing the load of all the questions, worries, fears and doubts that come hand-in-hand with living—and the flipside is true too: we’re meant to share the joy and delight and the good, too. But so often, for so many reasons, we don’t, or can’t, or feel we shouldn’t. Sometimes the reasons we hold back are valid. Over-sharing adult problems with children isn’t healthy for them. And some details are private or, at the very least, not ours to tell. Other times, however, it’s the result of flawed thinking—feeling we have to appear strong or infallible before sharing an opinion. Or it’s because we’re deeply insecure. The list could go on and on. . . . Yet there are things you learn as you travel through life, insight gleaned through hard knocks—and good times—that you want to pass on. Sometimes we just have to be brave enough to risk looking dumb and rest easy, knowing that whether our thoughts are received in the spirit we mean them or not, at least we tried to convey them. I won’t be breaking any taboos over the next year, but I will tackle some of the things I care about and have come to believe are important—maybe even critical—to a happy life. I hope you’ll explore with me.

’m trying something new with my column this year, a theme if you will. At this point, it’s set to continue for a full 12 months. I wonder if I’ll stick with it—oh, the mystery, oh, the intrigue! And what is this theme of which I speak? Well, though I’m being kind of silly in this introduction, it’s sort of serious. And it intimidates the heck out of me. Things I want my children (and future grandchildren) to know. See why it’s terrifying? It’s bad enough when you say things aloud when there are witnesses, especially if it becomes dreadfully apparent that you were totally out to lunch. But with verbalized opinions, at least you can always say you were misquoted or taken out of context (and if it’s my kids or husband quoting me, 99 percent of the time I am being purposely misrepresented!). With written ponderings? They’re always there to haunt you. And I already know that some of the things I think I’ve learned will change. In fact, I look forward to it and even jotted a note in my journal, “Revisit this when I’m 63!” It can’t be helped, nor would I want it to be. Sometimes we fail to speak about deep subjects because we’re so aware of all we still don’t know, all the ways we fail to live as we believe we should, and all the things we have yet to figure out. But that’s a mistake. Hopefully we’re always learning and growing; I’d better know more in 20 years than I do today! So what brought on this lofty goal of sharing any so-called wisdom I may have gleaned to date? A number of things, but I’ll just share the biggest

ILLUSTRATION OF the planned floating barge Douglas Channel LNG project which would be located near Kitimat.

From front

Pipeline decision looms Its beginnings go back to the last decade when companies no longer involved began promoting the idea of a small LNG plant. The project slid into financial troubles, resulting in AltaGas and its partners stepping in two years ago during bankruptcy proceedings. That, combined with the AltaGas purchase of PNG in 2011, gave the Calgary company the means and opportunity to move the project forward. At the time AltaGas officials said they had what no other prospective LNG developer has in the northwest – an already-constructed natural gas pipeline. Aside from the economic impact of the project to the region, northwestern residential and other natural gas users stand to gain another benefit from Douglas Channel LNG. For more than a decade PNG’s northwestern natural gas customers have been paying among the highest rates in the province for the commodity. That’s because as large-scale users of natural gas such as pulp mills began to close, remaining customers began to shoulder more of the cost burden of maintaining PNG’s existing 10-inch line. With Douglas Channel LNG to take up the majority of the capacity of the line, its payments to PNG would then result in a reduction of transport costs to its existing customers. The development of the renewed Douglas Channel LNG partnership, however, has not been without difficulties. Last year federal

customs officials said they’d impose a customs duty on the project’s floating LNG barge which would be built in Asia and towed to the Douglas Channel area. That duty charge amounting to $100 million stems from federal regulations designed to encourage domestic shipbuilding instead of importing vessels. AltaGas officials have argued that the floating facility is not a ship and have appealed the duty decision which would add to the planned $600 million

cost of the project. AltaGas is still waiting to hear the result of its appeal which was originally expected to be released late last year. “We’ve heard noth-

Floor hockey tending a rich tradition BY JACKIE LIEUWEN KITSUMKALUM FLOOR hockey has engaged youth and adults for more than 30 years and has a rich history that picks up with its own original four. Now played Wednesdays and Sundays, the drop-in Kitsumkalum ball hockey is for anyone who has a stick and cares to come out. “It’s just fun to be with the guys and a great workout,” said Shane Gillis, who has played for the last six years at the Kitsumkalum Hall. Kurtis Spalding grew up in Kitsumkalum and has been playing for 22 years, since before the hall was built and they played on the gravel parking lot. “My whole family, we all grew up playing hockey… family inspired us,” he said. Spalding is a cousin to the family who has run the program for the last 30 years, and the history reaches back to 1978. Dwayne Horner said it all

started in his driveway in Kitsumkalum, where he and his brother Vernon used plywood markers for their net and just started playing. “We used to play quite religiously down here: we’d all go to work, and then go home and then meet up an hour after work and play for hours on end,” said Dwayne. A few years later, Rodney and Will Bolan and their family moved to the neighbourhood and the boys joined the driveway pick-up. Ball hockey grew from there, with more people coming out to play and the game moving first to the street and then to the Kitsumkalum parking lot. “It was great. It was fun having all the buddies around, playing hockey, laughing and joking. Sometimes it got serious, but it all stayed on the floor,” he said of the competition. A group of the street hockey players formed the Kitsumkalum Killers in the early-90s to com-

pete in ball hockey tournaments in Thornhill and across the north. They travelled to Williams Lake, Kitwanga, and Hazelton for a few years, even won the Williams Lake tournament one year. The tournaments were fun, but the consistent ball hockey was still played at the Kitsumkalum Hall, engaging anyone in town with an interest. “It’s had a pretty big following,” said Jeremy Harris of the hockey program. “A lot of players in Terrace have been down and played hockey in the hall.” Vernon Horner said a big reason he kept it up was to teach his children. “We wanted to play hockey with our kids - with our sons and cousins and nephews,” he said. Vernon and Dwayne came early for several years to run drills and teach the children basic passing and shooting skills.

COLTEN BRAID glides into the offensive zone with the puck in the final season game against Kitimat Jan. 16, where River Kings won 5-1.

Kings entering playoffs TERRACE RIVER Kings are facing a three-game series against Prince Rupert as they launch into playoffs this weekend. They won their final season game 5-1 in Kitimat Jan. 16, and Smithers Steelheads won two games the same weekend, shooting into first place in the CIHL western division. The River Kings finished at second place in the west, third place was Prince Rupert Rampage, and fourth was Kitimat Ice Demons. River Kings general manager Ross Smith said Terrace rookies made good progress and the team

had a strong season with 11 wins, 3 losses and 2 overtime wins. Playoffs start this Saturday, Jan. 30, with the River Kings facing off in Prince Rupert - a team they had an even record with this season so far, with two wins and two losses. “It’s going to be hard in Rupert. They’ve got a hostile crowd, lots of fans… they’re fast and they’ve got some good goal scorers,” said Smith. “It’s not going to be easy.” The second game of the series is at 8:15 p.m. Feb. 6 in the Terrace Sportsplex, and if needed, the third game of the series will

be in Terrace Sunday, Feb. 7, at 4:30 p.m. The team that wins this playoff series will advance to play the winner of the other western playoff series, Smithers verses Kitimat. The winning team of that round will advance into the finals against the top eastern team. Standings in the east are first Williams Lake Stampeders, second Quesnel Kangaroos and third Lac La Hache Tomahawks. The hockey season will wrap up with the Coy Cup Championship in Terrace March 22-26. The River Kings have a bye into the tournament as the host team.

■■ Need for speed DANIELLE WEARY competes at the Snow Valley Open race at the Onion Lake cross country trails Jan. 16. The race had 74 competitors ages 3-57, and race organizer Travis Carter said temperatures were mild with a light snow. “It went very well... lots of smiles from the kids,” he said, adding that there were no injuries. The club has not run the event since 2013 due to poor snow conditions the last few years, but this year there was well over 125 people including family and over 20 well-appreciated volunteers.

■■ Spin cycles TERRACE CYCLISTS can take their biking indoors this winter, with the first spin-classes in Terrace. There are 11 bikes and 11 classes with men and women at Terrace’s Transcend Fitness, a great low-impact way to exercise.

Ball hockey history “It was lots of fun playing with the kids and everything. Teaching them how to play and how to get along with each other while we are playing,” said Vernon. “It’s good to kill some time and get exercise.” Dwayne agreed, saying he feels it is a great program to have. “I think it’s very important for kids to have recreational activities to keep them in good health and keep them out of trouble,” he said. In 1996 when the Kitsumkalum Hall was completed, ball hockey moved inside and Vernon says the numbers of people

who dropped in spiked to 20-30 people most weeks. Those who come throw their sticks into a pile, which someone sorts into halves to determine the teams. Vernon’s son Aaron Horner took over running the program in 2012 and says it continues to be a great activity to keep youth busy, healthy, and out of trouble. Aaron said with the expenses of ice hockey, it is great to have this available for the community, and to have the Kitsumkalum band help fund gear and give the space. “We’re pretty fortunate to have the hall,” he said.

t’s -23 under an azure sky. After a leisurely lunch, we pack up and bundle up then make our way across town to the Mexican restaurant that doubles as the train station. We arrive early and are surprised to find the train there already. We hug Gail and thank her for a bed, breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and excellent company then climb aboard. We slip into the closest seat. It’s the same conductor we had on the way here, I say to Karen. He points at my guitar as he passes. You gonna bring that thing back and play a tune? he gestures toward the rear car with his head. I didn’t get a tune from you on the way up. Uh, sure, I say hesitantly, being a novice train rider and unaware that the back car was open to the public. In minutes we are off, the engineer hitting his horn twice at each of the several level crossings on the outskirts of town. He blasts out a monotonic chordal rendition of Shave and a Haircut Two Bits to a group of waving kids who were playing hockey on a rink they cleared on a lake nearby. We pass large expanses of white: lakes you don’t see from the highway. I didn’t realize there were so many. Being a Sunday, we expect to see people out skiing or skating but there is nobody. Shall we go back?

A bit tired, the teams played a bit messy in finals, which stayed even until the fourth quarter, where the Rainmakers pulled ahead in the last four minutes and Kermodes lost 34-41.

Look out now, says Steve to the Americans. You’re going to cross a hundred year old bridge, adds Bruce. As we do there are wolves on the shelf ice below and ravens in the air. They must have a moose down, says Steve. The Americans are agog as we pass all seven sisters, all backlit in eerie light. Steve points out the tallest mountain in the range. Almost never see it. Always covered in clouds, he tells them. The train stops at Ritchie. Steve shoulders his pack, stuffed with a month’s worth of provisions, says goodbye and gets off the train. He just walked into the bush, says the American Mom incredulously. That’s his home. He has some cabins, but no electricity and running water. We go back to the coach. What an opportunity for economic development, I say to Karen, thinking about how the reaction ferry at Cedarvale could be reinstalled, and how the railway could work in conjunction with paddle wheelers to create a tourist attraction of international renown.
