Detox plan discussed By JOSH MASSEY

THE CITY is taking a leadership role along with the Northern Health Authority to look at establishing a detox facility somewhere in Terrace. One potential location could involve a proposed homeless shelter on Lazelle Ave. should a contentious rezoning application be accepted by city council. Establishing a detox facility was one of 16 recommendations from a coroner’s inquest into the 2013 death of First Nations woman Alyssa George at the hospital after being found in medical distress in Terrace RCMP cells. Mayor Carol Leclerc said her death and the inquest recommendations released late last year shine a light on the substance addiction issues that have been a problem here for many years. “The detox centre keeps being pushed away as a priority because it’s a huge cost,” said Leclerc, recalling discussions dating back to her time as a city councillor prior to being elected as mayor. “Northern Health thought they had services they could provide that weren’t a full detox... With the unfortunate death of Alyssa George, it indicates that it really needs to be stepped up a bit.” The committee examining the detox recommendation is made up of senior city and Northern Health Authority officials and others, including the First Nations Health Authority. Also part of that discussion is the Ksan Housing Society, which wants the empty building and property at 4614 Lazelle Ave. – between the Canada Post building and Terrace Interiors – to be rezoned for institutional use. Executive director Amanda Bains says any detox service Ksan might be involved with would have to be established in collaboration with the Northern Health Authority as it is a medical service. A detox centre is not within the scope of social services provided by the society. If the necessary rezoning and renovations do happen, then a discussion around the feasibility of having detox beds at the Lazelle Ave. location could move forward, but Bains said that would have to be initiated by Northern Health. “Ksan would not initiate a detox centre,” said Bains. “If Northern Health came to us and said, ‘hey we need a place to put a few detox beds,’ we would accommodate them. But it would have to be initiated by Northern Health and staffed by them.”

Oil refinery plan sent to regulators THE PROPONENT of a plan to spend $22 billion to construct an oil refinery north of Kitimat along with associated works has sketched out a scenario to obtain environmental and other approvals within three years. Speaking late last week, Kitimat Clean Ltd. president David Black
said he can start working on the finer details of the project now that a 129-page comprehensive description of the project has been filed with federal and provincial regulators. The filing on March 31 contains details on the refinery itself, which would be located on approximate-
ly 1,000 hectares of mostly Crown land 13 kilometres north of Kitimat, as well as on associated works such as rail spurs, a tank farm, a marine export terminal on the Douglas Channel near Kitimat, and on a 23-kilometre long corridor containing three pipelines to carry refined fuels from the refin-
ery to the terminal for tanker export overseas. The raw product, Alberta oil sands bitumen, would be brought by rail to the refinery and turned into diesel, gasoline, jet fuel and some low-sulphur diesel. Filing of the project description, which was produced by the firm of Hatch Ltd., now places in motion
a series of events including public comment periods, contract signings and permit applications and approvals, said Black. “Hatch really put its best people on this,” said Black of the project description document.

College reno project moves along A WIDE-RANGING plan by Northwest Community College to renovate its aging trades building at its Terrace campus is slowly working its way up the provincial government’s ‘todo’ list, advanced education minister Andrew Wilkinson said during a visit last week. Wilkinson, in Terrace to announce a sum of money for college equipment purchases, says the renovation project sits within a 10year provincial capital expenditures plan. “It’s in the pipeline, it’s just a matter of getting up the list,” he said. Costs for the project have yet to be worked out to extensively renovate the trades building, one of the original structures dating back to the college’s origins as a vocational training school. A proposal for a new building, released by the college in 2012, called for a new structure worth as much as $45 million but that’s now been scaled back in favour of renovations to the current 120,000 square foot building. At that time, the college estimated the building required $6
million alone to bring it up to modern training and amenity standards. What’s being worked on now is moving the project to a three-year list of capital projects, requiring the cost of the work involved to be determined, Wilkinson said. So far the college has said its renovation plan includes being able to maintain courses while work is going on but that will require shifting some trades program offerings to other buildings on the campus. It’s now asking students, instructors and other college employees for their opinions on how that should occur. Part of that planning includes a more extensive use of the college’s newer longhouse, a $2 million structure which has never been fully utilized. Wilkinson was here for his third visit March 29 to announce nearly $270,000 for three programs. He said these programs, nursing, heavy equipment mechanic and welding received money for additional equipment because they are the programs listed in the top 100 profes-
sions looking to replace workers in the near future. With a lot of skilled workers retiring, all these positions have to be replaced to keep the economy where it’s at, he said. About 700,000 trades workers will be needed, said Wilkinson. Students need full equipment to learn so they can deal with anything in the workplace and graduate with skills needed to go straight into the workplace, said Wilkinson. “I always ask students two questions: does the program meet your expectations and are you getting value for your money,” he said, adding students here answered that they like their instructors, the courses are great and they’re getting excellent value for their money. NWCC president and CEO Ken Burt said that applications for the upcoming fall term were up from last year and the college has delayed implementing an application fee until next year. Tuition fees have risen by about 2 per cent – on average about
$60 more per student, which is manageable, he added. “We provide a lot of bursaries and had a lot last year but not many students applied for them, which tells me the bulk of students can afford the tuition,” said Burt.
City bike posts arrive
THE CITY of Terrace wants to install 24 additional bike posts around town but first wants to hear from the public about where they should be placed. In a celebratory release marking the early arrival of spring, the city says that “it is time to dust off the bike and put some air in the tires.” It is also making it known that a new community bike tire pump has been installed at George Little Park. The manual pump comes with various bike tools. Those with suggestions are being asked to fill in their comments on an easy-to-use survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TerraceBikeRack The city says that people can suggest locations anywhere in town. If a location falls on private property, then the owner of the property can purchase the bike racks at cost from
the city. “We are open for any suggestions, not just solely in the downtown core,” says city planner Madelaine Peters of places for the new bike posts. In terms of existing bike lanes, the city is not actively painting
new lanes this year but does say that when new roads are put in, lines will then be painted. And with spring firmly here, the city street sweeper has been out clearing the existing bike lanes of a winter’s accumulation of sand and other material.
The city is also promoting Bike to Work week where teams and individuals can sign up to participate in the two wheels only week of cycling for work and leisure. Bike to Work week is scheduled from May 30 to June 5.

MANAGING YOUR MONEY MORTGAGE YOUR HOME, NOT YOUR FAMILY’S FUTURE Buying a home is probably the largest purchase you will ever make. It’s vital that you protect it–and your family’s future–by choosing the right insurance. But should you go the easy route and opt for lenders’ mortgage insurance because it’s so convenient to obtain and the premiums are simply added to your monthly mortgage payment? Here are some factors for considering other options: 1. With lenders’ mortgage insurance, the lender is the owner and beneficiary, not your family. But when you own the policy, you designate the beneficiary. 2. Lenders’ mortgage insurance only covers you for the declining balance on your mortgage but your premiums remain the same. With a personal policy, your coverage will not decrease. 3. Lenders’ mortgage insurance expires when the mortgage is paid off. Personal policy coverage continues after the mortgage is paid.
The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine wishes to advise its Thornhill customers that a flushing procedure will be carried out Monday, April 11 until Friday, April 22, 2016.
4. Your lender can change premiums or cancel the policy at any time. Only you make changes or cancel your personal policy and your premiums are guaranteed for the life of the plan.
This procedure is necessary to remove any sediment that may be present in the water mains and to ensure the best possible water quality is maintained. During this procedure water pressures may fluctuate and water may appear coloured or cloudy. You are advised to run your water until it clears. Your ongoing co-operation and understanding is appreciated.
5. Lenders usually do not allow your insurance to transfer to a new mortgage, lender, or possibly even a renewal but your personal policy moves with you.

6. Your lender may assess your coverage only when you make a claim, leaving you unsure of the coverage you have. With a personal policy, your medical history is reviewed before the policy is issued–so you can sure of coverage when needed. So, you should go your own way. But what types of insurance are best? Permanent life insurance is among the few assets that provide tax-free liquidity to your estate precisely when necessary. Disability insurance is also worth considering because a disability accounts for 48% of all mortgage foreclosures. Include your spouse in your insurance planning, too. With four separate coverages – life insurance and disability insurance to cover you and your spouse–not tied to your mortgage, you enjoy portable coverage that won’t be changed or cancelled and the benefits are paid directly to your family. So instead of taking the easy route and building lenders’ insurance into your mortgage payments, consider flexible coverage you control–build personal insurance coverage into your personal budget. Talk to your professional advisor to find the right mortgage, and other insurance protection, for you.

RAY MICHALKO would never have predicted that putting an ad in a northern B.C. paper in 2006 would end up with him writing a book 10 years later. Obstruction of Justice details the private investigator’s probing into the numbers of the missing and murdered women along the Highway of Tears, a name given to the 722 km stretch of Hwy 16 between Prince Rupert and Prince George. “I think it’s going to make people aware about a lot of things and I’ve tried not to be judgemental but present the information or facts and let readers make up their minds about the whole thing,” he says about what he hopes the book will accomplish. “I’m sure it’ll generate more calls for me,” said the former police officer who lives on the Lower Mainland. When Michalko began his search way back in early 2006, seven women were missing or had been found murdered along the highway, which grew to nine – the number Michalko talks about in his book – then jumped to 18 when the RCMP decided to add more cases, some from Alberta and some from further south in B.C., saying they were related. His search for answers began with placing an ad in papers in the northwest, asking anyone with information to come forward and talk to him. Michalko believed that someone out there knew something but was afraid to talk to the police.
Ray Michalko A friend laughed at him, saying he’d never get any replies to his ad; however, Michalko was swamped with tips. Over the years, he has travelled to Terrace and Prince George several times, and to Smithers, and Houston to investigate further. He’s met with tipsters and has wanted to share his information with police, but says he’s never heard back from the authorities. Now, he says he can’t escape from the cases and his investigations. “I’ve given up on the idea [of quitting]. The only way I’ll escape is to retire and disconnect my phone and email. I can’t sit still so I don’t see that happening in the near future.” Michalko added that of the tips that he still receives, none are about missing Terrace women Lana Derrick or Tamara Chipman. The women he’s still focused on are Roxanne Thiara and Leah Alishia Germaine, both of Prince George and whose cases he thinks are related, Alberta Williams of Prince Rupert and maybe Nicole Hoar, the only non-aboriginal woman included in the nine original women
Head stomping charges forwarded TERRACE RCMP say they’ve forwarded charges to provincial Crown counsel lawyers following an incident of domestic assault last week. A woman suffered injuries from what police describe as a head stomping. A 29-year-old man was arrested. Officers also responded to another domestic assault last week, this time at the Skeena Mall involving a man choking a woman. A 34-year-old man was arrested and officers found the man was in breach of a probation condition that he have no contact with the woman. A taser was used on the man but found to be ineffective and it then took several officers to make the arrest.
noted to be missing or found murdered along Hwy16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert. Michalko has some firm conclusions from his investigations about why the cases have gone unsolved. “I think probably the single most [important] thing that stands out for me was the investigators of the day who were trying hard to solve these cases, had they been given enough resources at the time, they should’ve had some success,” said Michalko. “I think the fact they weren’t given resources says a lot about why the crimes were not solved back then,” he added, saying that a number of the investigators have said the same thing. And it wasn’t because of a lack of money, he believes. “Money is tight in police forces but they always have the money,” he said. Michalko believes that when it comes to people who live on the fringes of society that money isn’t given as freely as it would have

been if the missing person was, for example, the daughter of a civic official. Michalko believes that’s the same across the country, explaining why in some cases it takes so long for anything to be done. Michalko is still convinced the answer is the same as when he started investigating: someone out there knows something about the missing and murdered women on the Highway of Tears. He’d still like to talk to them in confidence if they’re brave enough to
do it. “I feel for the families, I think they’re getting to the point they’re losing, if not lost, any hope in these cases being resolved,” said Michalko. “It’s almost like they’re not going to get resolved unless someone walks into the police station and says ‘here I am and here’s what I did,’” he added. Ray Michalko’s book Obstruction of Justice will be released May 15 by Red Deer Press, a Canadian publishing house based in Markham, Ontario.

2016 Coy Cup draws numerous visitors to Terrace
Local economy wins big during cup By JACKIE LIEUWEN
THE 2016 Coy Cup Senior Men’s Hockey Championship March 2226 drew record crowds to the Terrace Sportsplex and visitors here to boost the economy and tourism. With four teams in the tournament, 35 players and staff with each team, plus fans coming, Tyler Clarke from Kermode Tourism estimated 75 people or more would have come to Terrace per team, which is 300 total. “That means that many people coming into the community, spending dollars in the hotels and restaurants and stores,” Clarke said. “From there you get a ripple effect… local employees working those hours… spending their dollars in the community.” From a tourism standpoint, it means “about 300 people are visiting our community who are seeing first hand what we have to offer, and they are only getting a taste of it,” Clarke said. “Those people potentially will come back during the summer months now on vacation
to explore more… the ripple effect starts over again… even if a fraction of them tell their family and friends, so if 50 people mention Terrace, then that’s 50 more people we are being marketed to.” He added that all the teams got gift bags with Terrace magazines and trail maps, planting another seed of interest in the area. Ross Smith, who sat on the Coy Cup organizing committee and is general manager of Terrace River Kings, said the number of people who came out was great. “It was top notch. We filled that rink up on Saturday and almost on Thursday,” he said of the semi-final game and the final game featuring the River Kings. “That’s the first time that rink has been full. I don’t even think it was that full in Hockeyville… It couldn’t have gotten any better, I don’t think.” A full rink is 1,150 people, which was the audience for the Saturday, March 26 final in which the Fort St. John Flyers defeated the River Kings 3-2.
The Whitehorse Huskies and the Smithers Steelheads were the other two teams in the round robin. Smith said the non-Terrace games averaged under 500, and the Terrace games 1,000. BC Hockey official Trevor Bast said this was his first Coy Cup, but he has been to numerous other
tournaments and was impressed with the Terrace championship tournament. “There are more volunteers here than I’ve seen at any event I’ve been to. The community is really great….I’ve been really super impressed with everybody,” he said. Surprised by the turnout, Bast

Two wheels
PERHAPS because it was a mild winter followed by an early spring, there seems to be a growing number of people out on bicycles. Whether it’s more people using two wheels instead of four to get to work or more people opting for cycling as a relaxing past time of fresh air, exercise and stress relief, pedalpower is on the rise. That the area is relatively flat lends itself to more opportunities to cycle, as does the gradual introduction of widened streets. Also not to be discounted is the extension of the Grand Trunk Pathway, as well as the annual spring sweeping of streets and roadways on the part of the city and Nechako Northcoast to make things just a bit smoother. For those perhaps a bit apprehensive of mingling with vehicle traffic, Terrace and area drivers are remarkably considerate and accommodating. And thumbs up to the city for its new no-charge tire pump at George Little Park.

Juror selection prevents court delay
B
etween January 2012 and August 2014 Northwest Territories judges declared 11 mistrials when the courts were unable to seat 12 jurors. The shortage of jurors results too frequently in small communities where most everyone knows either the victim or the complainant, is related to a trial participant, or is well acquainted with the facts of the event. In addition, roughly only half the people summoned for jury duty show up to court to face selection. Consequently trials have to be postponed, often for as much as nine months, before court space, a judge, lawyers and witnesses can again find a date agreeable to all. Canadian criminal law allows for a judge to send sheriffs out into the street to round up potential jurors if a jury vacancy occurs at the last minute, as it did recently in Hinton, Alberta. A trial ready to proceed suddenly found itself short one juror. Justice J. H. Goss of Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta empowered a pair of Alberta sheriffs, through a summons, to round up 20

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI potential jurors at Walmart’s Parks West Mall. The sheriffs filled a bus with shoppers nabbed from the aisles carrying their purchases and delivered them to court where they were questioned by the opposing lawyers to ascertain their eligibility to be jurors. Jurors must be declared eligible, impartial, representative, and competent. Once a juror had been selected to fill the vacancy, the other 19 shoppers were returned to Walmart. This manner of filling a jury at first seemed a throwback to Westerns when a sheriff would scoop men
from a saloon to serve at a moment’s notice. But within a week after the Hinton case another showed up in the news, this one in Iqaluit where a sexual assault trial was set to begin but needed one more juror. Seventy potential jury members had been summoned to the court. A number were excused for medical reasons or were challenged by the Crown and defence lawyers. Others were dismissed for knowing the accused, potential witnesses or the complainant. When the pool was drained, the court was still short one juror. Nunavut Justice Sue Cooper ordered the sheriff onto the streets to randomly summon 12 more people in order to complete the jury selections, reports CBC News. The trial was able to proceed that afternoon. No nine month wait there for an alternate court date. Three days of evidence was heard. The jury deliberated two hours before convicting the man of assaulting the 13-year-old. While rounding up potential last minute jurors may seem like a rare occurrence,

checking finds it not to be so especially in Edmonton where the practice rivals seasonal ranch roundups. In October, 2013 an Owen Sound, Ontario court ran short of jurors for a criminal trial after a panel of 125 potential jurors failed to fill twelve seats. There, too, the judge issued a summons for two sheriffs to comb the streets for likely individuals. Sheriffs asked prospects if they were 18 years old, a Canadian citizen, and if there was any reason they couldn’t sit on a jury? If a sheriff asks a more probing question he risks discipline for pre-selecting a juror, a determination to be made only by judge and lawyers. One man was excused because he was scheduled for knee surgery the next week. In this Owen Sound case, by the time the sheriffs and their hastily chosen passengers arrived at the court house, a mistrial had been declared. Each person was paid $100, a discretionary payment ordered by the judge, and driven back to the mall in taxis to resume their day.

The Mail Bag LNG perspective differs widely
JOSH MASSEY PHOTO
SIGNS ON two of the vehicles driven to pro-LNG rally held March 16 in Terrace.
Just say ‘no’ to the ‘yes’ of LNG Dear Sir: I was saddened to witness the “yes to LNG” rally held March 16, not only because I know that the Petronas Pacific NorthWest LNG proposal for Lelu Island is wrong-headed and dangerous but because it shows just how susceptible to propaganda we are and how
O
willing some are to mistake sound bites and promises for reality. The people holding the ‘yes’ signs are surely decent people wanting the best for their families, but their mistake may simply be that they are too trusting and too willing to swallow the propaganda that
proponents and their government partners have been spinning out, not for our benefit, but for their own. I have watched mega project booms evaporate into busts for many years over the course of my public health career in the North and I have seen the health and wellbeing
of people suffer accordingly, in both phases of the cycle. The bottom line always is that a resource is over extracted, prices fall, world markets shift and another unhealthy propped up community bites the dust.
Cont’d Page A9
LOCAL RESIDENT Steve Smyth’s March 30, 2016 opinion piece entitled “Yes to development” which took the position job creation and environmental protection can go hand in hand, using the Petronas/Pacific NorthWest LNG proposal as an example, drew a lot of online comment. The piece can be read online by searching “Yes to development in Northwestern B.C.” Some sample comments below: “The ideology that the industrial revolution is good for everyone is dying. New thoughts are emerging. Long term jobs having to do with remediating, tourism, recreation, stewardship and ingenuity, which are now being seen as purposeful. Those types of jobs and new ways to create jobs that feed, warm and comfort us are being valued and prioritized more and more.” Amy Scott “It’s nice to read an article on this subject by someone with common sense and not a political agenda.” Colin Flaten “Also, 330 jobs would be direct. Think of all the indirect jobs associated. Think of revenue increases increasing the number of jobs created in communities out of demand because there are more people spending money. More construction. More retail, More educators. More of everything when we have a thriving economy.” Christina Gagne “All other things aside, is there any reason to be dubious about the Lelu Island development by Petronas specifically? Assuming that their prior track record of maintenance and safety negligence is a thing of the past, what does it say about the character of the company that they offered $1.15 billion to the Lax Kw’aalams in exchange for putting the terminal in, and when it was unanimously rejected decided to go ahead and do it anyways?” Darryl Taylor
Requiem for a Lakelse Lake swan
n a recent Sabbath afternoon outing, my friends Terri and Grace came upon the remains of a white swan as they walked the shore of Lakelse Lake. It troubled Terri to see such a magnificent and beautiful bird lying there and she decided it should be buried. Terri mentioned that to me as we visited mutual friends later that evening. I told her that if she wanted to do that, I would help her. Next morning we drove to Gruchy’s Beach. I couldn’t find the key to the shop, where I had a round-nosed spade, so we took along two square-nosed shovels from my woodshed. We parked the truck in the parking lot and hiked in to the lake, threading our way past magnificent, huge red cedars and hemlock, interspersed with pine and red alders. Terri led us along the lake shore to the swan. We then searched for a place to bury it and found a spot under a pine tree just in from the water’s edge. I dug a big hole in the sand, down to
the water table. Then we walked back to the swan. I picked it up with gloved hands and carried it back to the site we had chosen. It was a large bird – its soft, shimmering white feathers contrasting with its jet-black bill, feet, and legs – a trumpeter swan. Near the burial site we had chosen we paused at a stone-mounted plaque dedicated to the memory of a 15-yr-old boy who died in 2004 jam while tubing on Williams Creek. As we approached that plaque for the third time, we saw a shovel standing near it, shoved into the sand. I thought Terri had left it there as we walked back to get the swan, but she said she had not. Neither of us had seen that shovel there before although it was in plain view when we did see it. The shovel was a roundnosed spade. We were both so surprised. How did we not see it the other times we passed by? It was out in the open, and we both saw it immediately as we came back with the swan. As we were approaching the
GUEST COMMENT
KEN ANDERSON memorial for the youth, Terri, head down at the time, heard something. She didn’t say anything to me just then and we continued on. I carried the swan to the hole, laid it gently in the bottom, asking Terri how it should be placed. We had it lying with its belly down, legs oriented to the east. I then curled its long neck around and tucked its head under its left wing, like it was sleeping. Terri concurred.
She reached down and moved the wing so it completely covered the swan’s eyes, to keep the sand out, and she started shovelling. I said I had something to share with her. I brought out my Bible from my jacket pocket and read, “And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven; And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth , which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good; And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth; And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.” Gen. 1:20-23. “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father; But the very hairs of your head are all numbered ‘ Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.”
Matt. 10:29-31. We then filled in the grave and I gently packed the sand down with my feet. We smoothed out the ground after Terri dug up its surface to make a bigger area – perhaps the size of a human grave. We didn’t put any stones on it as Terri thought it would draw attention to the grave and people would disturb it. But we agreed we could come back another time and perhaps tie a ribbon on the pine branches just above the grave. We then retraced our steps, Terri pausing at that unexplained round-nose spade, pulling it out, then shoving it back into the sand, pushing it firmly into place with her foot, leaving it standing where we had found it near that young man’s memorial. Terri told me later that the sound she had heard as we approached that memorial while carrying the swan was the swishing sound of a shovel going into sand. Ken Anderson is a Terrace, B.C. lawyer.

CANCER SURVIVORS!
We invite all cancer survivors and their care givers to participate in the Survivor Victory Lap at 4pm.
PROUD SUPPORTERS OF THE 2016 RELAY FOR LIFE
Proudly supporting the Relay For Life
Last year, the residents and businesses of Terrace and surrounding area raised nearly $112,000 through Relay For Life! Relay For Life donations allow the Canadian Cancer Society to fund critical cancer research, compassionate cancer support programs, and impactful cancer prevention initiatives.
Research
Today, over 63% of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive, which is an enormous improvement from the 1940’s, when only 20% would survive. We have come so far, but together, we can make that number rise even higher. With your help, we believe that 80% survival is within reach. We see research advances every year and are at a tipping point where innovative projects can have an enormous impact. Check out www.cancer.ca for a list of our Top 10 Research Stories from 2015. Among them, Dr Daniel De Carvalho tricked cancer stem cells to stop growing, Dr Senthil Muthuswamy created pancreatic tumours in a dish, and Dr Shana Kelley developed an extremely sensitive blood test that uses sensors on a chip to detect cancer mutations. It takes many years for medical research to go from an innovative idea to a life-saving treatment. Cancer patients today are benefiting from the research funded over a decade ago, and the research we fund today will benefit our children and grandchildren. Will you help us change the future of cancer treatment?
Support
People facing cancer need our support. The Kordyban Lodge in Prince George recently celebrated its 3rd Anniversary. In that time, we’ve provided a home away from home for over 2500 people travelling to Prince George for cancer treatment - including over 300 people from Terrace. Last year, across the Northern Region, we were able to provide financial assistance to 138 individuals. Our Terrace Community Office outfitted six women with wigs (with added visibility in our new location, we are hoping to increase our reach this year). Trained cancer survivors were available to provide emotional support through our CancerConnection program.
Prevention
Did you know that half of all cancers are preventable? The Canadian Cancer Society takes an active role in cancer prevention through advocacy and awareness programs. Besides not smoking, having a healthy body weight is the most effective thing we can do to reduce our cancer risk. We encourage healthy living through a wide range of programs, from WellnessFits in the workplace to Healthy Beginnings in daycares and early learning centers. British Columbians have reduced their tobacco use significantly, yet it is still responsible for almost one third of cancer deaths. Last year, we invited Relay participants to join us in a campaign against flavoured tobacco, which encourages smoking among youths. We have reason to celebrate! Our advocacy efforts contributed to fruit and candy flavoured cigarillos being removed from Canadian shelves December 2015. This year, we’re asking Relay participants to join us in asking the federal government to support plain tobacco packaging; emerging evidence shows that this effectively eliminates any remaining hints of glamour associated with smoking.
It’s More Than a Fundraiser
The money raised during Relay For Life helps to support the Canadian Cancer Society in all it sustains, but it’s not just a fundraiser. It’s an event that brings communities together to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, to remember loved ones who have fought or are fighting the disease, and to empower individuals to fight back against cancer. Register today and join the ordinary heroes who are making a difference in this battle against cancer: www.relayforlife.ca/terrace The Canadian Cancer Society is a national, community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer. The Society funds research on all cancers, generating new knowledge on prevention, early detection, treatment, quality of life, and end of life care.

Now is not the time for an LNG industry The people who invest their lives in these corporate get rich quick schemes, buying houses and machines, relocating families, and sometimes falling in love with a region, are left high and dry, begging for the next dangling carrot. Fort McMurray, Fort St. John, Cassiar back in the day, and dozens of other towns in the Yukon and Northern B.C. are examples we should pay attention to. These boom and bust experiences linked to the fortunes of one or another large company were bad enough but the one now proposed
for Lelu Island is extreme in both its magnitude, its risk. To gamble away our world class treasure of a river and the cultural and economic values that are sustained by it for a relatively few short term jobs that will leave us with less than nothing when they end, to give away our birthright to a corporate entity some call the Malaysian Mafia, to imagine that there is anything natural about fracked methane, that thousands of kilometers of pipeline across wilderness will leave streams and rivers and wildlife habitat intact, that massive dredging
and construction in the Skeena estuary will have “no significant effect” on salmon and other species, that the earth can somehow afford yet another huge dump of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, or that this will somehow benefit our children and grandchildren, is to live in a dream world. And that is a dream world carefully constructed by corporate propagandists and their government bedmates. It is vital that people learn for themselves what an LNG plant actually looks and sounds like. Be assured it is
!
SOLD
David Bowering a far cry from the airbrushed diagrams the industry likes to present. It is vital that people think clearly about the existing resource in its natural splendour and
the many people who are sustained by it when they weigh the pros and cons of trading it away. We need to listen to the First Nations people who understand the life giving relationship we have with the natural world and with this amazing river and its estuary. And it is critical that we ask the question who benefits when we see advertisement after advertisement trying to convince us that the LNG cuddly bear is real. One of the themes I heard at the “Yes” rally was that it’s time for Northerners to roll up
their sleeves and build their own future. I could not agree more. Health is something that happens in communities, not in work camps. It is a by-product of people working together, finding meaning in their work, supporting each other and creating a local economy that features diversity, and sustainability. We have the elements of those things right here and a chance to say yes to a future that would be the envy of most people in the world. LNG is not that future and we need
to stop listening to the hucksters trying to sell it to us. Yes to alternative energy investments, yes to wilderness tourism, yes to wild salmon and the jobs and cultures they sustain, yes to local food production, yes to parks, yes to small businesses, yes to resolving land and treaty issues with First Nations in a respectful rather than coercive way, yes to healthy communities yes to local decision making.

But for 30 years, the Toastmasters International club in Terrace has been providing coaching and skills training to confidently do just that. Through regular meetings backed up by an education program, club members are challenged to give short or longer speeches and through evaluations of other members and in conducting meetings, also have the opportunity to hone leadership skills, explains Randy Norman, a member here since 2005. “Typically you want to have 20 members to be chartered,” said Norman, adding the local club now has 22 members. Members also learn to quickly organize their thoughts when speaking, he said. And they also develop the skill of active listening, something that can prove valuable in everyday life, Norman adds. “It’s hard to shut it off,” said Norman of the evaluation and listening skills a Toastmaster acquires. “When you’re out, you’re listening for the filler words, the ‘ums’ and ‘ahs’ of people talking. You’re looking for body language, the hands. You’re thinking they do well, but they could do better.” Toastmasters are constantly working on their craft, said Norman, in describing the steps a
Toastmaster takes to reach a level known as Distinguished Toastmaster, the highest level reachable. “Once you reach that, you start over,” he said. Janine Wilson joined the club in 2013 and has quickly become immersed in the Toastmasters training. “I still struggle with public speaking and I appreciate the leadership skills,” she said of the program. Wilson said people join Toastmasters for various reasons, some to simply become more confident in everyday life and others to help them at work if they need to speak in group settings. Famous Toastmasters include comedian Tim Allen, former B.C. premier Bill Bennett, actor Leonard Nimoy and astronaut James Lovell. The Terrace club is holding a session open to the public April 9 at the auditorium in the fireside room at the Terrace Pentecostal Assembly. Toastmasters from around the northwest will be coming to take part in a speech competition. Not only will the speakers be evaluated but those doing the evaluating will be evaluated by others as part of the ongoing Toastmasters training. Wilson said the event, which begins at 10 a.m., is open to everyone. As many as 50 to 60 Toastmasters are expected to attend.

Young leaders eager to share

■ Egg-citing! HAELIE WOJNAROWSKI skips across the grass at the Heritage Park Museum Easter Egg Hunt March 26. Cur Curator Kelsey Wiebe says the event raised $1,080 for community programming through entry donations. About 1,000 people came to the event, plus 40 volunteers. Visitors found 16,000 chocolate eggs and dyed 750 hard-boiled eggs. A toddler-safe zone provided a safer space for little kids to find chocolates.
TWO YOUNG leaders going away to learn and work with others are eager to share their knowledge with area residents. Still technically youths themselves, Brenna Doolan, 29, and Leilani Wright, 24, are already working on leadership skills at their churches: Doolan, from Gingolx, is on the board at Waaps Nagwaadm (Our Father’s House) church and Wright, from Gitlaxt’aamiks, is on the Young Adults Leadership Team at the Rock Christian Fellowship Church. They both work alongside First Nations youths in their work, church, and community initiatives. They have a passion and vision not only for Terrace, but to see surrounding nations impacted and transformed for God’s glory. “I find that Christ-centred leadership development is very empowering: it creates a space for you to clarify your purpose which increases your effectiveness,” says Doolan. “It raises up leaders with compassion, courage, faith, and vision.” The pair are travelling to South Korea on April 10 to 22 along with numerous other First Nations youth workers and Aboriginal leaders from across Canada and the U.S. to attend the KNAAM Conference (Korea North American Aboriginal Missions). This training will give them an opportunity to share their culture and stories and learn from the history and development of South Korea. The trip will include visiting mission churches, Prayer Moun-

us in our city and surrounding nations.” When they return, they plan to share at their churches, visit the village of Lax Kw’alaams to share with the community and visit the Nisga’a communities to share with the youths. “Everyone has purpose, gifts to share with the world. It’s important to be intentional about discovering it and to let God draw it out of you.”

PROPOSED LOCATION of homeless shelter at 4614 Lazelle Ave.
Shelter plan draws fire By JOSH MASSEY THE OWNER of a downtown business has started a petition opposing the rezoning of a property next door that the Ksan House Society wants to use for a homeless shelter. The plan to rezone 4614 Lazelle Ave. for institutional use, which needs to be done if Ksan is to open a shelter there, was introduced at a recent council meeting. The building was once the administrative headquarters for the regional Northern Drugs chain. Marilyn Dahl of Terrace Interiors says her customers are already alarmed by the high homeless population and others milling about in the downtown streets and that having a shelter next door would only add to the alarm. She has drawn up a petition and placed it in various stores through the downtown area and hopes it will make the city think twice about the shelter rezoning request and shift the proposal to a location away from the downtown area. Dahl plans to submit the petition when the city holds a public hearing into the rezoning application on April 11. “Our customers have really objected to it because of all the people on the street. I don’t think a business area should be rezoned, you have to have a place for those people to hang outside and there is no place for them,” Dahl said, adding that she is in favour of long term solutions to help the homeless. Dahl also owns the vacant lot immediately beside the building where the shelter would be, but says she would not allow people to congregate on her property. The proposed homeless shelter would be the second operated by Ksan which already has a shelter at its Hall St. complex on the southside. The society does operate what is called an extreme weather shelter under contract from the provincial BC Housing agency during the cold weather months. It’s also called a damp shelter because it allows people in who have been drinking, something not allowed at the Hall St. location.
The extreme weather shelter had been located at the All Nations Centre on Sparks for the past several years but that location was found to be unsuitable this past winter and for its last open month of March was temporarily moved to the Hall St. complex. Ksan executive director Amanda Bains said the second shelter’s proposed location on Lazelle Ave., which they hope to open year-round if they get funding, would serve homeless people and others who are already in the downtown area. “People are saying it will draw people downtown, but that is where they are already. They are hanging out at Brolly Square, they’re hanging out at the library and the library park, they’re hanging out down at the [former Terrace] Co-op [property],” said Bains. “You need to have these services where the people are located. You can’t put them out at the airport like somebody suggested on Facebook. If it’s not accessible, then people are not going to go there... It’s not going to draw people to the area, it’s going to allow them to have a place to go if they are too intoxicated to be on the street. It will allow them to be safe,” Bains said. City councillor Stacey Tyers, who is also a city liaison to the city’s homelessness task group, said that finding an alternative location would be quite difficult. She said her employer, the Terrace and District Community Services Society, has been looking for a shelter-like building for years and has had no luck. “Are there a lot of alternatives? Probably not because there isn’t a lot of alternatives for sale.” The executive director of the Terrace Downtown Improvement Area Society, Dennis Lissimore, said he has heard mixed responses to the rezoning proposal. “I got 10 or 15 emails and 30 phone calls within a couple hours of it coming out in the paper,” he said, though added that “not everybody is against it and not everybody cares.” Lissimore said the reality of people hanging out in the downtown area is part of the larger issue of how to deal with homeless people.

City says ‘yes’ and also ‘no’ to inquest THE CITY of Terrace has responded to 11 of 16 recommendations arising from a coroner’s inquest into the death of Alyssa George who died in hospital Sept. 2013 after being found in medical distress in a local RCMP jail cell. They relate to the city’s position as both the landlord of the RCMP detachment and employer of the guards who monitor people held in the cells. “She fell through the cracks,” mayor Carol Leclerc said of George, who was a 25-year-old First Nations woman struggling with severe alcoholism. Leclerc added that if Terrace had a detox centre then people in her situation could be rehabilitated safely instead of ending up in RCMP cells. George was arrested on an outstanding warrant and placed in cells only to be found later in medical distress. Flown to Vancouver, she died later in hospital.
Investigating the possibility of constructing a detox facility is one recommendation council is acting on, having agreed to meet with the Northern Health Authority, the First Nations Health Authority and the health ministry. Another two responses agreed to by the city and RCMP include providing refreshed training to the cell guards, including physically checking the cells every 15 minutes, and properly filling out prisoner logs. The city did turn down a recommendation to hire a second guard, and it will remain the case that a second guard is only brought in for situations where there are high risk prisoners in the cells or if the number of people in the cells reaches 12. The city cited high costs for rejecting this idea and it also turned down a recommendations to make windows in cell doors easier for guards to see through.

The need for staffing of the detox facility is one of the key parts of the Alyssa George recommendations, which indicated one or more substance abuse doctors and counsellors would be needed at any such facility. For its part, the Northern Health Authority says it is looking to improve its addiction programs here. “There’s a recommendation from the coroner’s inquest and we take those recommendations really seriously,” said Northern Health official Jonathon Dyck, adding that any new addictions program or
facility would be on top of programs they already have. “Is there room for continuous improvement? Definitely,” he said. “I think that any idea brought forward would be entertained,” he continued when asked about Northern Health running a detox component at a shelter of the Ksan House Society. “It’s just a matter of the feasibility and it would have to be done in collaboration with community partners, be community based, and evidence informed,” said Dyck.

Refinery project plan sent to regulators “I’m sure it’s going to be well accepted by both governments.” Topping Black’s list is agreements with First Nations, primarily the Haisla of Kitamaat Village, on whose traditional territory the refinery would be located. “There are some others, there are overlaps, but the Haisla are the main one,” he said. “I think that the one thing we’ve learned in B.C. is that you can really do nothing unless you have First Nations,” Black added. He said he’s had several sessions with the Haisla so far. Gaining overall aboriginal approvals would include signing contracts for business and other economic opportunities arising from the project’s construction and operations. While that kind of work is going on, Black said engineers will be advancing on the very detailed engineering work needed to establish exact project costs. “That should take about two to two and a half years,” he estimated. Black’s been selling the refinery project, officially introduced in 2012, as a nation-building exercise to add value to a raw resource rather than simply having bitumen exported
for processing overseas. The study forecasts taxation revenues of up to $1 billion a year for various levels of government and the creation of 1,250 direct jobs, 1,250 contract jobs tied to operations and thousands of indirect ones through the region. A five-year construction window is forecast with as many as 7,000 workers needed as well as a large camp facility located at the refinery location. At full capacity the refinery would process upwards of 400,000 barrels a day of bitumen, producing diesel, jet fuel and gasoline to be delivered to the marine export terminal via pipeline. The fuels would be pumped aboard large tankers with one scheduled to leave the marine export terminal every four days for the trip to Asia. When compared to existing refineries, this one, if constructed, would rank among the largest in the world. As Black has been promoting the economic benefits of the project, he’s also been pointing to the shipping of refined fuels instead of crude. Should there be a shipping accident, the Hatch report indicates refined fuels will evap-
orate, causing less of a problem compared to a spill of crude. Absent from the project filing are plans for a natural gas pipeline to bring natural gas from northeastern B.C. to the refinery. Natural gas is required as part of a specific refining process. That process, called Fischer-Tropsch, would cost $5 billion of the proposed $22 billion capital cost. Black said it will produce the cleanest diesel with far fewer emissions than conventional refineries. “Our refinery would remove the equivalent C02 emissions of 6 million cars running full time,” he said. The pipeline would be provided by a third party, Black said. Black some time ago discarded the prospect of using a pipeline to deliver bitumen to the refinery. He then contemplated using tanker cars into which heated bitumen would be poured and then let cool and harden before shipping. In a hardened state, an accident involving bitumen would not be as environmentally hazardous, Black said. But he is now worried that given the production capacity of the refinery, it will take too
long for rail tanker cars to be reheated and the liquid bitumen emptied once they arrive at the refinery. So he is contemplating placing large tubs of hardened bitumen on flatbed rail cars. “That bitumen will be hardened. There’s no way we’d ship it in any other state,” said Black. The bitumen would then be carved out of the tubs in some fashion and placed in large, heated vats where it can then be turned into a liquid form for processing. “There are still some details to be worked out,” said Black. Those rail cars would use the CN main line and then proceed south on the spur line connection toward Kitimat before being shunted off to a rail yard at the refinery location. To date Black has been the sole investor of the project and has yet to attract large multi national energy companies who favour their own refineries elsewhere. Black, the owner of Black Press, the newspaper company which owns The Terrace Standard and other northwestern B.C. newspapers, says he has spent millions of his own money so far, but declined to provide a figure.

Richard Charles Joseph Hayden September 30, 1937 - March 20, 2016
It is with great sadness we share that Richard Hayden let go from this world peacefully surrounded by his family March 20, 2016. Richard is survived by his wife Beverly Hayden, Sons Jason Hayden, Joe Hayden (Germaine) Daughter Gena-Marie Williamson (Ron), Grandchildren Kyson and Alea-Jaye Williamson, Lisa-Marie Hayden, Great Grandchildren Kyra and Damek Hayden, Brothers Roger Hayden (Marlene) and George Hayden (Katherine) as well as much beloved Cousins, Nieces and Nephews and lifelong friends. Although Richard will be greatly missed by all those whom he leaves behind, Richard leaves a legacy of love and compassion. His pride was his family and his passion was the outdoors. Richard found his solace in the mountains, trees and streams. Many memories were made and shared throughout his years around the crackling of a warm fire and stepping quietly through the bush as he tracked and hunted with his family. Richard was a traveling man and often would look at his wife and say "time to hit the road" and off they would go on an adventure (most often to his hometown in St Lazare Manitoba) where he would always stop and see his family along the way. With his sword drawn, Richard battled with pancreatic cancer with courage and strength until it was finally time to go and sit with his Heavenly Father. Richard will be missed, he will be remembered,and his traditions will be carried forward by the family he leaves behind. Richard will forever be loved and cherished.
Little emerald bird as you light afar it is true I heard. God is where you are little emerald soul little emerald eye little emerald bird we must say good bye.

Oral Health - Good for Life Soft drinks - even the sugar-free ones - contain acid that erodes tooth enamel. If you must, drink them quickly and use a straw to avoid extended contact with your teeth. Most of us realize that diet and exercise play an important part in keeping us healthy. But did you know that a healthy mouth is also an important part of a healthy body? Poor oral health can affect a person’s quality of life. Oral pain, missing teeth or oral infections can influence the way a person speaks, eats and socializes. These oral health problems can reduce a person’s quality of life by affecting their physical, mental and social well-being. Oral disease, like any other disease, needs to be treated.
A chronic infection, including one in the mouth, is a serious problem that should not be ignored. Yet bleeding or tender gums are often overlooked. Research has shown there is an association between oral disease and other health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke, respiratory illness in older adults, as well as pre-term and low-birth-weight babies. Although researchers are just beginning to understand this relationship, evidence shows that oral disease can aggravate other health problems and that keeping a healthy mouth is an important part of leading a healthy life.
5 Steps to a Healthy Mouth 1. Keep your mouth clean Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste Wait at least 20-30 minutes after eating before brushing your teeth Floss every day Eat a well-balanced diet Limit foods and beverages containing sugar or carbohydrates Ideal snack foods: cheese, nuts, vegetables, and nonacidic fruits. Look for oral care products with the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) Seal.
2. Check your mouth regularly
Look for signs of gum disease: • Red, shiny, puffy, sore or sensitive gums • Bleeding when you brush or floss • Bad breath that won’t go away Look for signs of oral cancer: • Bleeding or open sores that don’t heal • White or red patches • Numbness or tingling
• Small lumps and thickening on the sides or bottom of your tongue, the floor or roof of your mouth, the inside of your cheeks, or on your gums.
3. Eat well
Good nutrition helps build strong teeth and gums. Munch on mouthhealthy snacks like cheeses, nuts, vegetables, and non-acidic fruits.
4. See your dentist regularly
48% of Canadians who haven’t seen a dentist in the past year have gum disease. Regular dental exams and professional cleanings are the best way to prevent and detect problems before they get worse.
5. Don’t smoke or chew tobacco
Smoking and chewing tobacco can cause oral cancer, heart disease, gum disease, and a variety of other cancers.
Find a Dentist Don’t wait for a toothache or a dental emergency to look for a dentist. Ask for recommendations from friends, family, neighbours, or co-workers. If you’re moving, ask if your current dentist can refer you to a dentist in your new area.

River Kings finish silver, win round robin in 2016 Coy Cup in Terrace TERRACE RIVER Kings had a strong showing in the Coy Cup Championship here in Terrace March 22-26, finishing with silver for the third year in a row with a disappointing final loss to the Fort St. John Flyers. Coach Rob Findlay said it was a tough loss at the end. “Win or lose, it was a great game,” he said, adding that he was happy with how the River Kings played. “They played really well. They put their hearts out there, just, the puck wouldn’t go in,” he said after the finals. The intense, five-day Coy Cup Championship was run at the Terrace Sportsplex, and the Terrace River Kings won first in the round robin. The first three days of the championship, the teams played very strong and intense hockey, but the teams showed dwindling energy levels in the semi and finals games. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ The River Kings faced off against Fort St. John in the first round robin game on Tuesday, March 22. It was a tight, competitive battle to start the championship with a bang. Tying 3-3 in the end, the game went back and forth, with River Kings earning an early lead but the Flyers tying up the game by the end of first period. Second period the Flyers earned another goal, but River Kings evened the score again seven minutes later. The Flyers managed a late goal in the second period for a 3-2 lead, which they kept through most of the third period. But with just over a minute left on the clock, Terrace’s Corey Dekelver got the puck on the right side and fired off a slap shot to tie the game. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ In their second game on Wednesday, March 23, the River Kings faced off against Whitehorse Huskies in a strong, physical game. The Huskies seemed to somewhat dominate on the ice with their rough, physical play in the first period, but the River Kings caught their stride in the second period and clearly dominated the second half. Two early goals had the teams tied for most of the first period, and the Huskies scored late in the first for a 2-1 lead. But the River Kings turned the game around early in the second period, earning two back-to-back goals in the first five minutes to make the score 4-2 for the rest of

the second. It was a great game to watch, high intensity, and the Huskies did not let up despite the River Kings lead. The teams took turns scoring in the third period, and the game ended with a 6-3 win for Terrace River Kings. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ The third round robin game on Thursday, March 24, Terrace faced off against Smithers Steelheads. Smithers Steelheads lost both their earlier games and thus had no chance of advancing to the semi and final games. They were also missing both of their regular season goalies. The Terrace River Kings earned a solid 6-2 win, driven by their chance to earn a bye into the Saturday final and bypass the Friday semi-finals. The teams fought a fairly even game in the first, with Steelheads earning an early 2-0 lead but the River Kings tying up the score by the end of the period. The River Kings went on a run at the end of the second period, scoring three goals in the last eight minutes to earn a 5-2 lead. Halfway through the third period, Josh Murray topped off the score with another goal, ending the game 6-2 and earning the team the top rank in the round robin. The round robin tally was very close, with ranks not determined
until the last game. Terrace was first with two wins, one tie and five points. Whitehorse was second with two wins and a loss, and Fort St. John was third with one win, one tie, and a loss. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ In the semi final on Friday,
March 25, Fort St. John Flyers and Whitehorse Huskies played for the shot in the finals. The two teams had a very close, intense battle in the round robin, with Huskies scoring in the last two minutes to win the game 6-5. The semi-final game was less intense. Both teams
came out strong with even back and forth in the first half. But the Flyers scored two backto-back goals for a 4-2 lead halfway through the second period, and left the Huskies chasing them the rest of the game. The Flyers scored two goals in the last five minutes of the game, earning them a decisive 7-3 victory. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ The championship final game pitted the River Kings against Fort St. John Flyers on Saturday, March 26. The teams have a growing rivalry, as this was the third year in a row they faced off for the title in the Coy Cup finals — and the fourth year in a row the River Kings took silver. Both teams hung back in the first period and no goals were scored. In the second period, the Flyers scored a lucky goal halfway through and the River Kings tied it up a few minutes later. The Flyers earned two more goals before the second period ended, earning a 3-1 lead on the Kings. Though they played hard in the third, the River Kings struggled to score, earning a late goal to boost the final two minutes of play, but unable to tie up the game. The Fort St. John Flyers won 3-2, earning the Coy Cup trophy for their third consecutive year. It was a great event with great hockey, and high numbers of volunteers and fans. “It couldn’t have gotten any better,” he said.

MYAH BOWAL with provincial 2016 gold after Capitals won.
TERRACE YOUTH hockey player Myah Bowal won provincials in the female Major Midget Hockey League for the second year in a row with the Northern Capitals team from Prince George. Last weekend, they took on the Alberta major midget champions in Prince George, fighting to represent the pacific region at Hockey Canada midget nationals - competing for the 2016 ESSO Cup in Saskatchewan on April 19-25. “Myah is very dedicated to progress… her strengths are definitely her stick handling and work ethic... she sees the ice really well,” said Capitals coach Mario Desjardins. The team won first place with a 6-0 record in the prestigious Mac tournament in Calgary over Christmas, and Desjardins said
Myah was one of the lead scorers. “She definitely turned some heads,” he said, adding that universities are already interested in recruiting her. In their regular season, Northern Capitals (previously Northern Cougars) finished second to Vancouver Comets with 21 wins compared to Vancouver’s 23. They upset Vancouver in the final championship to earn the gold title in Female Midget AAA. Myah started playing hockey at age six and grew up in Terrace Minor Hockey. At age 11-12, she played underage in bantam hockey (ages 13-14) for the boys rep team, who didn’t make provincials. That same year (2012), she was invited to join Terrace’s first competitive female rep team (bantams) for their provincials, where they won silver.

Rocking bonspiel
TERRACE HOSTED 28 curling teams from Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert, Smithers and Haide Gwaii in the Men’s Loggers Bonspiel in Terrace on the last weekend of March. Gordon Lawley, chair of the organizing committee, said they had a great time at the season wind-up event for the north. “We curled all day and late into the evening… had a great time,” he said. During several evenings, the teams enjoyed live music by the local “After Hours” band, and a dance on Saturday was attended by about 150 people. “Being the biggest bonspiel of the season for men, and the wind up for the northwest, it makes for some fun and enjoyable and competitive curling,” Lawley said. “It’s competitive but also very friendly… good sportsmanship.” The winners of the A event this year were Team Greenslade from Kitimat. Terrace teams won the other events, with Team Copeland winning the B event, Team Melanson winning
C event, and Team Kennedy winning D event. Speaking of curling, Lawley says one thing he loves about the sport is the strategy. “I consider curling to be like chess on ice. You are always trying to set up your end, so you are usually thinking two or three shots ahead, similar to chess. It’s a very strategic game, you are always putting your rocks in certain places to set up other shots,” he said. With the varying characteristics of ice and its affect on how the rocks slide, Lawley says there is also a lot of quick adjustments and thinking. “You have to adjust your game on the fly” he said, adding that after the games, teams usually meet upstairs and talk over a beverage. “It’s a very competitive but a very social game at the same time. That’s probably one of the things I enjoy most about it,” Lawley said. The loggers bonspiel wrapped up the curling season for this year.

A
faded orange piece of flagging tied to an alder branch testifies to the durability of plastic. The tree it’s on has to be more than thirty years old, for it was more than thirty years ago that I tied it there. The swamp where the tree stands was more pond than swamp back then. Crossing it meant crossing beaver dams and jumping across deep, silt bottomed channels, while avoiding sharpened sticks and muck holes with enough suction to pull off a wading boot. After some misadventures, I bought a roll of flagging and marked what seemed the least demanding route to the river. The beavers are long gone. The pond is dry. A clay bottomed robust little creek threads a serpentine route through a firm carpet of reeds that is easily crossed, but the ribbon still marks the best spot to clamber over a large cedar that crashed to the floor some ten years ago, so it hasn’t outlived its usefulness quite yet. As I linger momentarily to look at that tattered flag, I wonder how many times I had crossed that swamp over the course of those three decades. I have a clear recollection of the first time. It was with Dan Gledhill, the rough and tumble child care worker, welder, and avid angler, a big solid guy with long hair and big bushy moustache.
The following two years she played on the Terrace female bantam rep team, underage for the first year, winning gold with them in 2013, and bronze in 2014. Last year at age 14, Myah moved to Richmond to play in her age group, as the Terrace female bantams folded. She played with the Richmond Ravens in bantam rep, and won gold. A week later she was called up to play in Prince George for the Northern Cougars (now Capitals) in the Major Midget League and won gold with the team in provincials. This year she continues playing major midget in Prince George with the Capitals.
“I’ve always loved hockey, since I was little,” Myah said. “It was a big opportunity, so I decided to try out with the team (Northern Capitals)… It’s been going really good. Everybody has been playing hard and our coach is amazing - Mario Desjardins, who is also from Terrace.” Myah said that she has nice team mates, who are all friendly and including. “The community there is really good and supportive,” she said. Despite being in grade 10, Myah is already looking to the future and aiming for scholarships. “I want to go to university and play hockey. That’s my main goal right now,” she said, add-

ing that though she has time to decide, she is already talking to quite a few schools. “I want to go to an ivy league school, but just a regular one would be fine too,” she said. The main thing is that she wants to play NCAA hockey, division one. Closer on the horizon, and aside from possible nationals at the end of the month, Myah is aiming for a place on the provincial U18 development hockey team. She played U16 last year and was invited to tryout for U18, despite being age 15, but didn’t quite make it. “Hopefully this year. It’s her goal,” said her mom Shammi Bowal.
bottom. I wade out for a better look. The glide has filled in, removing the protection it afforded fish previously. I return to shore and break down my rod and look at the tail. It’s knee deep. An easier wade than the one I made earlier. I start in. The water is knee high almost all the way across. With only a few feet to go there is a pocket. Oona is below me. When she steps into the depression she has to leave her feet where the water’s fastest. It sweeps her downstream into a tree parallel to the bank. In an instant she’s tangled up in the limbs. I rush toward her but can go no farther without being swept under the tree too. She flails momentarily, disappears under the branches. I stand stunned, about to watch my dog drown, when she claws through the twisted limbs onto the tree’s trunk then plunges into the water on the far side and somehow manages to scramble up the steep four foot bank. I push through the pocket and join her on the path. As I sit on a log to compose myself she gambols off down the trail as if nothing has happened. I whistle. She races back. Sorry girl, I say rubbing her ears. I wasn’t thinking. There’s always an adventure on the other side of the swamp.

New use being found for church structure THE TWISTS and turns in the fate of the former Christ Lutheran Church building on the corner of Sparks and Park continues as a new owner has decided to turn it into a business. In 2014 the lot located at 3227 and 3229 Sparks Ave. behind the Lazelle mini mall was rezoned from public to commercial usage with the new owner at the time planning to tear it down and put in a parking lot. But the ecclesiastical structure has been given another lease on life now that a new owner has purchased the building and two lots and the city has granted a development permit for business use. The new owner is numbered company 645999 BC Ltd and what it wants to do is “retain the existing building and undertake upgrades to enable it to be available and attractive to potential retail tenants,” according to the development permit. The permit includes
provisions for landscaping and upgrades to the parking area and the city will cancel the interior lot line so the two parcels can be consolidated. Council heard at the March 9 regular council
meeting how the church steeple and rectangular glass brick window display of a cross will be removed, and the existing stucco repainted. New window and window trim, and an accessibility ramp, 10
P A S S E N G E R TRAFFIC at the Northwest Regional Airport has remained surprisingly strong despite the completion of largescale industrial projects, says its manager. Passenger totals for 2015 of 239,095 were down just seven per cent compared to 2014, said Carman Hendry. And while this January’s total of 15,713 was a drop from the 17,114 passenger total for January 2015, traffic for February bounced back. “We were down just 81 passengers, barely one per cent,” said Hendry of February 2016’s total 17,069 compared to the February 2015 total of 17,150. “And what we’re hearing is that March was very strong,” Hendey added. He said the non-profit society which operates the airport has been surprised that passenger numbers are holding given that large projects such as Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat smelter
rebuild have been winding down. Crew changes for mining development, including the Brucejack gold mine being built by Pretium Resources near Stewart, and other projects result in four bus loads of workers cycling through the airport each week. One reason for the numbers holding, Hendry believes, comes from the introduction of WestJet’s Encore service to Terrace and area. “Having another national airline which can connect people right across the country is a draw,” he said. That WestJet and Air Canada are competitors has also resulted in attractive pricing, Hendry continued. “Our [service] area has expanded. We’re seeing people from a few communities we haven’t seen people from before,” he said. But despite steady passenger numbers, the airlines have been reducing flight frequency. Air Canada cut one

THE STEEPLE and window glass at the former Christ Lutheran Church will be removed
paved parking spaces were called “a significant enhancement” in the permitting papers granted by council. Faced with a declining membership, the remaining members of the Christ Lutheran
congregation decided to wind up church functions in 2014 and put the building up for sale. Proceeds from the sale of the church were then used to support various community projects.
Air passenger traffic holding steady flights are now fuller,” said Hendry. And Hendry said WestJet told him it needed to shift aircraft from Western Canada to Eastern Canada as it expands its Encore service across the country. He said the airport still offers lots of choices of flights – on
weekdays four flights from Air Canada to Vancouver, two from WestJet to Vancouver, one from Central Mountain Airlines (using a Hawkair aircraft) to Vancouver and a Central Mountain flight (again using a Hawkair aircraft) to Prince George.
