Shelter search back to square one By JACKIE LIEUWEN THE KSAN House Society says it is back to square one in its attempt to find a permanent location for a homeless shelter that would be open during the cold weather months and possibly longer, where it hopes to provide additional services. It had found a building to buy on Lazelle Ave. in the
downtown core but a needed rezoning was rejected by council in a 4-3 vote April 25 after councillors decided the location wasn’t suitable. The decision left Ksan with a mixed message, said Ksan executive director Amanda Bains last week. “It’s a bit frustrating because we have been given direction from city staff to look in the downtown area,
and now that the city council has rejected our rezoning application, we feel like anything we propose in the downtown area would be rejected,” said Bains. “So where does that leave us?” At a public hearing on April 25 which preceded the council vote, councillors heard from a number of business owners and others
that businesses downtown would continue to suffer from public intoxication and loitering downtown if council approved of the rezoning and Ksan opened a shelter in the building between the post office and Terrace Interiors. There were also worries about public safety. Also presented was a petition of 613 signatures
opposing the rezoning as well as over 600 form letters - 423 letters in support and 258 in opposition to the rezone and shelter. For the past two winters Ksan has rented space overnight at the All Nations Centre on Sparks, close to downtown, for its 20-bed extreme weather shelter but the space did not have adequate kitchen or washroom facilities.

■ It’s back THE FIRST Skeena Valley Farmers Market of the summer drew a fair-sized crowd on May 7, despite the rainy weather. Pictured here is Kerry Giesbrecht from the Greater Terrace Beautification Society posing by a bunch of plants she was selling by donation for the society.
That shelter is popularly called a “damp” shelter because it allows in people who have been drinking. Ksan also operates a homeless shelter at its Hall St. complex on the southside but that shelter does not allow in people who have been drinking.

Delegation visits China
A DELEGATION led by the City of Terrace left for China May 8 to visit with officials from the economic development zone which purchased nearly 1,200 acres at the city’s Skeena Industrial Development Park in 2014. Also on the trip are officials from the city’s development park partner, the Kitselas First Nation, and officials from the Coast Mountains School District and Northwest Community College, all travelling to the Chinese city of Qinhuangdao and the Qinhuangdao Economic and Technological Development Zone. The trip is a follow up to a visit by Chinese officials here last November which featured the signing of a friendship agreement to broaden economic, cultural and educational ties. To date, the Qinhuangdao zone is about to start drilling for water on the lands it purchased in Terrace, where it hopes to attract Chinese-owned enterprises to set up shop here. On the trip are mayor Carol Leclerc along with city councillors Brian Downie, Stacey Tyers and Michael Prevost. The Kitselas are represented by Kitselas First Nation chief councillor Joe Bevan and Jim Dopson from the Kitselas Development Corporation. The Coast Mountains School District is being represented by superintendent Katherine McIntosh and Janet Meyer, one of its directors of instruction. Northwest Community College’s student success director Holly Hovland and the college’s academic head, Gord Weary, round out the delegation. Three days are being spent in Qinhuangdao and two days in Beijing, touring the Chinese capital. Also on the trip are representatives from Burnaby-based Taisheng International Investments which is acting for the Qinhuangdao development zone in Canada. Expenses in China are being covered by the delegation’s Chinese hosts while travel and associated costs are the responsibility of those on the tour.

Officials determined to stop vandalism on the long weekend “It’s a very busy weekend for us here in Terrace.” According to Rabut, the campsite vandals have historically been older teenagers and young adults. “Lots of intoxication. With intoxication comes poor decision making,” she said. Rabut said she believes the Exstew campsite is specifically closed down because of its ease of access and proximity to the community. “The site has seven units for camping,” said forestry ministry public relations official Greig Bethel. “But it is located along an open gravel beach that can accommodate large numbers of campers.” These large numbers of campers, Bethel said, can cause infrastructure and environmental damage to the site.

■ Garden patch april showers may bring May flowers, but so does watering as demonstrated by city worker Monty Koopmans last week while doing some planting at the north end of the sande overpass.
THOSE PLANNING to go camping anytime between May 16-24 will be out of luck if they’re hoping to make use of the popular Exstew recreation site. Recreation Sites and Trails BC and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has ordered the closure of the Exstew campground located off of Highway 16 between Terrace and Prince Rupert, as well as its access road, for that period in large part to protect the area from vandalism and to reduce waste caused by people partying over the May long weekend. “The May long is known as the kind of kick-off for the summer events and the grad weekend as well,” said Const. Angela Rabut of the Terrace RCMP.
He also noted in the past that “excessive amounts of garbage have been left behind.” Bethel also added that the site has been closed annually over the May long weekend since 1996. “With the exception of one year, which was a trial to see if problems were alleviated,” Bethel said. Rabut said that past instances of vandalism and destruction at the Exstew recreation site and other campgrounds in the area have included picnic tables being set on fire and large messes of disregarded beer bottles and other broken glass being left behind. “We even had a camper get burnt up here one summer, that was in [Red Sand Lake], I think,” Rabut said. The road to the Exstew recreation site
and access road will be physically closed approximately half a kilometre north of Highway 16, along the Exstew Road. According to the legal notice putting the closure into place, it was made to “protect recreation and environmental resources, and to reduce random camping impact and vandalism.” Rabut also said the Terrace RCMP would be out in full force on the May long weekend. “We will have roadblocks set up at various key locations and be checking for impaired driving and seizing alcohol when we feel it’s going to be consumed in an illegal manner,” Rabut said. All other facilities, campgrounds and recreation sites in the district will remain open for the May long weekend.

Renewal IS it Northwest Community College’s turn? That would certainly seem to be the case with the hints and suggestions coming from both the provincial government and the college itself regarding a major expenditure to be announced soon to extensively renovate its aging and inadequate trades building. One of the original buildings dating back to the days of the college’s beginning as a technical training school, the trades building has been the target of college renovation planning for years. And there’s now more. The college has set its sights on a new cafeteria building and residences with the total estimated package being in the $40 million range. It’s an ambitious program for one of the smaller community colleges within B.C. but no less deserving compared to what’s happening elsewhere. Just last November the provincial government’s advanced education minister, Andrew Wilkinson, announced a $18.9 million package for a new trades training facility at Selkirk College’s Nelson campus. The province is providing $14.2 million with the remainder to come from other sources, including a $1 million contribution from Selkirk itself. With Northwest Community College’s trades building renovation to cost an estimated $14 million, an equivalent announcement from the province is within reason.

Getting old is a weighty issue
eading success stories about other people my age can prove inspirational or soul crushing, depending upon their endeavours and lasting success. A news item of an 80-yearold woman who skydives to celebrate her special birthday at first makes me feel wimpy. On second reading and giving it more consideration, I think, “Why would I want to do something so risky?” I didn’t reach this age by nipping across streets in front of moving cars.

Then I listened to a video report of 81-year-old Tootsie, a woman in Lexington, Texas who is pitmaster at Snow’s BBQ, rated by readers of The Texas Monthly as the best barbecue in Texas. She works five days a week as a middle school janitor. Every Saturday she cooks up 800 pounds of beef for locals and tourists. Serving begins at 8 a.m.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI and ends when the beef runs out, often before noon. To prepare the hardwood coals for the barbecue she arrives at midnight, starts the fire, and when the coals are ready, shovels them into the cast iron “pit”. She shoulders 150 to 200 pound quarters of beef from the storeroom to the pit. And she handles the entire job alone, no flunkies, basting the chunks of beef with sauce dripping from a clump of rag bound around the end of a short handle like a sailor’s mop. I admire Tootsie, her cooking skills, and her work ethic but I have no desire to
mimic her. One report that cheered me comes from a study done on winning contestants who participated in the 2008 reality show, The Biggest Loser. One couple together lost almost 250 pounds. Six years later they had regained most of that. The study concluded while the couple took part in the program they engaged in strenuous activity and radically reduced their calorie intake. Which inevitably led to a remarkable weight loss. But all the time they struggled to become leaner, their body fought to maintain its previous top weight, sabotaging their success the moment they returned to their previous life style. When I was in my 20’s and reading Cosmopolitan and Good Housekeeping, I learned our body has a natural “set point”, a weight it strives to maintain despite whatever we do to shed extra pounds. When we diet, our body slows our metabolism to burn fewer calories. But when we quit exercising and dieting, our metabolism remains slower than normal just in case we repeat

our foolishness and starve our cells again. Each time we diet, our metabolism slows more. In the words of this study, “There is always a weight a person’s body maintains without any effort. That is the weight the body fights to defend.” Over 55 years my weight has fluctuated within ten pounds of my wedding day weight. Staying at that weight is easy. If I drop an extra pound, I may reward myself binging on peanuts, a second piece of blueberry pie, or a bedtime treat of peanut butter and raspberry jam on a freshly baked bun. Three days later the scale tells me I’ve overshot my caloric intake. I have to rein myself in once more. A day or two of mindful eating is an easy cure. I could never face the starvation diet and army recruit exercises Biggest Losers undertook to lose those 250 pounds. Then to gain most of them back ... in six years ...

The Mail Bag We can’t ignore our citizens
Dear Sir: Canadians are indeed a generous people. When disasters strike or people flee wars we dig deep, do bake sales, spaghetti dinners, and children empty piggy banks to raise funds and the taxpayer, through the government, finds necessary money. The acceptance of 35,000 refugees is a prime example. Airfares exceed $30 million, there’s over time for public servants, arranging transport is $4 million; hotel rooms, medical care, ESL education, not to mention $35,000 for each family for the first year, and in some cases, welfare. Should we be proud of ourselves? You bet. With this kind of effort one would assume that we would take excellent care of Canadians in need, right? A country will be judged by how it looks after citizens in need for whatever is needed. So how do we compare to other industrialized countries? Canada ranks 17 out of 27.
T
City council is joining all those who say they are in favour of shelters for the homeless, but not in their neighbourhoods. Besides, they say these people prefer to sleep outside in 20 below anyway. By all means let us do what is needed around the world, but let us deal with Canadians in need first. Shame on the federal, provincial and city government. Shame on all of us in this land of plenty for ignoring citizens in need. John Jensen, Terrace, B.C.

So, what do we do? Well, every Christmas we give the homeless a turkey dinner, that should hold them until next year. Old ladies are knitting hats and gloves for street people,
some young girls are collecting sleeping bags for them. Good on all these people, but it’s not changing the lives of these people. Food banks and soup kitchens are a tempor-
ary measure, are almost 50-years-old, and have not changed the lives of these people. Terrace now has more then 100 homeless, joining the thousands across Canada.
What to do about the problem? We can not have them damage the businesses on main street, so our city council decided it is preferable to have people living on the street.

Re-zoning defeat produces no real winners
he story of Sisyphus from Greek mythology is often used to illustrate an impossible task. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “something Sisyphean demands unending, thankless and ultimately unsuccessful efforts”. That is precisely the position the Ksan House Society recently found itself embroiled in. April 25 was a sad and disappointing day for Terrace with council’s 4-3 decision to defeat the rezoning bylaw change that would have allowed Ksan to own and operate a permanent damp shelter in a central location. As well, the preceding weeks leading up to the decision further illustrated another related and underlying issue: fear and ignorance appear to be thriving in Terrace. It was difficult to watch so much misinformation at work to inspire, motivate and even incite councillors Bujtas, Downie, Christiansen and mayor LeClerc to cast their no votes to the pro-
ject; a by-law change that was recommended by city staff. The journey that lead to this disappointing result wasn’t given enough voice or consideration. Opposition was swift, and at times, nasty. Opposition to the proposal has polarized Terrace and allowed some blatant hate to be aired publicly. Beyond the need for a permanent damp shelter, the two public hearings aired an unattractive side of Terrace that will take more than catchy phrases like “reaching out” to Ksan and “generous offers” of money to facilitate a future discussion. It was council’s decision and they will need to figure out how to undo some of the damage that’s been done. Ksan will continue to honour its commitment to providing shelter for our vulnerable Terrace citizens and will work with all interested persons to provide the most compassionate community that we can have. Ksan has been running a temporary damp shelter out of the All

GREER KAISER Nations Centre, a building owned by the Seventh Day Adventist Church, for the past two winters. With no shower, kitchen or laundry facilities, it was a temporary solution while Ksan looked for a permanent site. Working with other community agencies, that search has been ongoing for years. For the mayor to suggest that it is time to begin to dialogue ignores the incredible efforts that
Ksan and other community organizations have put into looking for a solution to this growing problem. The property at 4614 Lazelle was the first place that was suitable and met shared criteria. It was also a mere 500 metres from the current location. Ksan has a thirty-year history of owning and operating successful and professionally staffed shelters. This project would have been no different. It would not have been a flop house (as one upset person suggested); it would have been staffed 24/7 by trained and dedicated staff. Additionally, the proposed damp shelter was never proposed as a detox centre. Neither detox nor treatment are part of Ksan’s mandate, nor will they be in the future. It is unfortunate that Ksan didn’t press the point that the downtown core already has numerous publicly zoned properties. Apparently some public are more welcome than others. Naysayers repeatedly stated
that Ksan’s proposal was merely a “Band-Aid” solution. Ksan never felt the proposed permanent site would solve all of the problems in the downtown core, but it was a tangible first step. To a bleeding person, a Band-Aid is a necessity; it provides comfort and opportunity for healing. Everyone agrees that our downtown core is not always safe and welcoming. Ksan offered a partial solution. Holding off for an interim report from the Homelessness Task Group which may echo the need for a damp shelter in a central location further delays any concrete action. In the meantime, Ksan moves ahead in its search for a permanent damp shelter site with compassion and the understanding that we will need to continue to educate our community about the effects of and numerous reasons for homelessness. Long-time Terrace resident Greer Kaiser is the current board chair of Ksan.

Shelter search at square one Ksan’s seasonal cold weather shelter program is financed by a grant from the provincial BC Housing and its plans for a permanent location could, finances permitting, allow it to be open for a longer period of time and provide a base for programs to help the homeless. A city-financed survey from April 20-21 this year found that there are 101 homeless in Terrace, increasing from the 74 counted in 2015 and 64 in 2014, with growing numbers of young people. Bains said Ksan will likely search out another location for a temporary cold weather shelter. “We are just trying to absorb everything that is coming our way, sift through the information, find out what all our options are,” Bains said. Finding a permanent location takes time Ksan staffers don’t have, she added. “This is the type of thing you do off the side of your desk,” she said. “I really feel like Terrace is stuck with what it has. They are stuck with the status quo, because they are not allowing the people who actually do the work, to do the work,” said Bains. One suggestion presented to Ksan is to do what Campbell River on Vancouver Island has done – using a converted shipping container. Fitting up to 16 people, the contain-
er has been modified to contain one washroom and eight heated units containing double bunks. It was donated to Campbell River as a pilot project by Shadow Lands Transportation Group of Vancouver. Paul Mason from Campbell River Family Services, which now runs the shelter, says that it has proved extremely successful in addressing homelessness in that community’s downtown. Open for three winters since November 2012, Mason says both RCMP and emergency services reported dramatic reduction in calls for service within the downtown area. “It’s a lot cheaper to provide something then to do nothing, because the drain on city resources is huge, like the RCMP, the first responders, the ambulance, the emergency room at the hospital. They have all reported dramatic reductions, which financially saves a lot of money,” Mason said. Providing shelter gives intoxicated people and the homeless a place to go, and helps prevent issues of loitering and scenes of public disorder in public areas, he said. “We’ve had three seasons using our shelter, and even the business community in town is supportive of it, because now the homeless aren’t sleeping in their doorways or making a mess.
Though it hasn’t changed things during the day, Mason said in the evenings the people come to shelter instead of hanging out at the local Library or community centre. He adds that having the space in the downtown is important so that it is accessible to the homeless. “There was a group that thought it would be better to put the shelter outside of town, but the homeless would never get there, they would never use it. It has to be where the people are. We have a shelter on the outskirts, but it is too far away for the homeless to go. You have to put it where they are. Then they will use it.. and we have found that they respect it as well, because they know it is there for them,” Mason said. Speaking about the idea of using a converted-container shelter here in Terrace, Bains from K’san said they are looking more for a permanent place to expand services. “It does not have any of the amenities that we were already restricted by,” Bains said. “In Campbell River it was on the side of a church, the church was big partner [and they provided] food in morning and evenings… We want a permanent location. Our goal is to really expand our services for people. Having something so temporary like that doesn’t allow any room for expansion or growth.” Mason did say the converted shipping con-
tainer option is not a lasting solution and his goal is to find a permanent facility downtown which can become a service hub open 24/7. “If you have a centre where the homeless can come, and you have community resources accessible there, then you have the opportunity to engage with them and talk to them and maybe suggest treatment or ask what they need… we know that the homeless population do not access ser-
vices. We need to bring the services to them,” Mason said. “You can keep providing services like shelters and lunches, but you are not really doing anything to assist in the reduction in the number of homeless.” Mason said the shelter has not reduced the number of homeless in Campbell River, which has been increasing and including more young people ages 19-20 – many coming out of the foster system.

Society gets housing help CITY COUNCIl has agreed to give the Kermode Friendship Society $10,000 to advance its plans for social housing combined with a daycare facility on property it owns on 4714 Park Ave. The money comes from the city’s affordable housing fund, established several years ago as the city’s contribution to providing affordable housing. The society had at first asked for $30,000 to finance a conceptual design of the project, a construction cost estimate, a needs assessment and to prepare documentation for capital cost requests to other government agen-
cies, but city officials told council the intent of the affordable housing fund is to ease capital costs only. “Several of the items are specifically not eligible for funding under the [affordable housing fund] policy as they involve costs for research and staff time,” city development services director David Block noted in a report to council. The Kermode Friendship Society originally received $500,000 from the provincial family and child development ministry in 2015 to build a daycare for 63 children. It then decided to add a social housing development to its pro-
posal for tenants who qualify for social housing and who would have children attending the daycare. Some of the units would additionally be rented out at market value to help defray operating costs of the daycare centre. Current zoning regulations would allow 38 housing units to be built on the property. Kermode has already been in contact with a number of companies, including prospective liquefied natural gas developers, in hopes of securing money for construction of the daycare facility. But it also wants to apply to the province
for monies to build the housing component and is facing a June 15 deadline to submit expressions of interest. Kermode has already asked for development money to flesh out its proposal from senior governments and is waiting for a response. Faced with the June deadline, the friendship society then approached the city with its original $30,000 request. In his report to council, Block said a $10,000 contribution from the city would help the society submit its expression of interest to the province. The society already has an architect ready to work on design and

other components needed for the submission. Block also noted the society could apply again to the city for money from the affordable housing fund for capital costs. Councillor Stacey Tyers moved at council’s May 2 meeting to provide the $10,000. Council voted and the motion was passed. Councillor Michael Prevost excused himself from discussing or voting on the topic, saying he owned property next to the property in question. The province has recently committed itself to making more money available for affordable housing.

CDC employee says long farewell By BEN BENgtsoN
WHeN SHeIlA pretto came here from england to work at the Terrace Child Development Centre in the summer of 1978 she only planned to stay for the year. Instead, that one year turned into almost four decades of faithful service. But after 38 years with the CDC, pretto has decided to retire this June. “I will miss the families and the comradery within the team. But being in Terrace, I know that I’m still going to keep in touch with these people,” pretto said. “I think I’m the longest serving employee ever.” fiona Delorme, the centre’s executive director, agreed that pretto will be missed and said with a laugh that “she’s on my speed dial.” pretto, who works as a speech-language pathologist with the CDC, but over the years has also taken on the role of program director and infant development consultant, has been with the centre from almost the beginning. In 1978, she said, there were six people working at the CDC; Today, there are over 20 employees at the centre who provide education, therapy and support to children living with special needs and their families. The centre was first established in 1974 by a group of concerned parents who saw the need to offer more assistance and support for childhood special needs in the community. for confidentially reasons, pretto couldn’t go into detail about specific children or families she has helped over the years, but she did say her greatest accomplishments on the job have involved helping families in need. “There are specific families that I’ve worked with that I feel like I’ve had a lot of professional satisfaction from,” pretto said. “The intervention I’ve provided has made a difference.” As a speech-language pathologist with
the centre, pretto has treated children with all kinds of potential communication disorders, including youth with delayed speech or who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. Although the philosophy of the CDC has always been family-orientated, pretto said over the years an increased focus on involving the whole family when it comes to a child with special needs has been hugely satisfying. “I see my primary role as training the families, the primary caregivers,” pretto said. “Because when they buy-in and they can learn strategies they are the ones who will make the difference because they are with the child all the time.” The CDC is partly funded by the provincial government who, according to their website, define a child with special needs as children and youth who require additional educational, medical and environmental support. In pretto’s 38 years on the job, she said the way children with special needs are represented in the education system has seen major changes as well. “When I first came here we had the preschool operating but it was what we called a ‘segregated kind of program’, so it was a program just for children with special needs,” pretto said. “It was a significant change when there was a change within the whole kind of educational approach towards inclusion of children with special needs within daycares and preschool environments.” “We went from being a segregated preschool to a preschool where we basically have all children.” There are many child development centres providing community-specific support throughout the province. While these centres have expanded and changed over the years, pretto said there was always room for improvement. “It’s always concern about limited fund-

That’s an ongoing issue.” However, before pretto retires in June she said the Terrace Child Development Centre does have some important changes coming its way this summer, including a renovated hydrotherapy pool and a new accessible playground for children at the centre. pretto said that even after all these years
it’ll still be business as usual at the centre before she retires: she has therapy sessions to deliver and consulting meetings with special needs educators in town. When she does retire next month, pretto said she is going to miss the job but is excited for what’s to come. “I’m looking forward to traveling a little bit more and spending more time on things I enjoy doing,” pretto said. “I have family in town, grandchildren in town, and they keep me pretty busy.”

When Reid moved, she wanted the program to stay in Terrace and Morgan decided to
see it continue. Some girls never think they’ll see themselves looking so beautiful in a gown because some are not comfortable with their bodies but Morgan tells them that’s the body they have for their lifetime and once they know what looks good on them they’ll be able to shop for clothes. girls come to her from all over the northwest including Kitkatla, the Nass Valley, Kitimat, Kitamaat, Hazelton, gitanyow and Kitwanga. She was booked up this past weekend for girls coming to get dresses and says a lot of the girls who come in are from families where their moms are working just to pay the rent and they’re working two jobs to help pay for utilities. Some are living independently, some come from fam-
ilies where their parents both work, but they just don’t have the spending money. They often don’t know what size they are and then they get to see how they look in a fancy gown. Women who donate their dresses often share the story about the item they’re giving, says Morgan. One young woman dropped off a pair of beautiful shoes, and said her mom had passed away and these were her favourite shoes. She didn’t have the heart to throw them away and thought she’d give away what was so special for her mom so they could be special for someone else. “I said they’re imprinted with love. I said well we walk around with energy, good energy,” she said, adding she believed the girl’s mom was
imprinted on those shoes and the young woman who walked out with those shoes would feel what her mother felt while wearing them. One girl who donated a gown said when she wore her gown, her grandmother hugged her and told her how beautiful she was and kept telling her that. She wanted someone else to feel that with their own grandmother and mom. Morgan’s husband is a manager at Sport Chek and his boss lets him accept donations at the store. The other employees get so excited when a gown donation comes in, they will announce it on the headset so the whole store can hear and are all eager to bring it to him. And dropping the dresses off at the store really gets the community involved.

R
on’s Army Navy Surplus in Dartmouth (the Thornhill of Halifax) was both a destination and an experience. Go in on any dreary Saturday to cheer yourself up: they had an amphibious assault vehicle for sale in the front, between the access road and the parking lot. Inside, dozens of CF-101 jet fighter windowed roofs – aligned in rows – were introduced by a hand-lettered sign that read “Voodoo canopies – have you got yours?” Among other federal government asset disposal items was a fridge-sized computer component with reel-to-reel magnetic tape that was labelled “Sophisticated machine – you need one of these.” My hubby had two vintage hunting weapons, given to him by his dad, and lovingly carted around from Manitoba to BC to Nova Scotia. There was a rifle for rabbits and a shotgun for grouse in his rural hunting childhood, but it was time to get rid of them. One day we brought them to Ron’s and made our way up steep steps overflowing with excellent inventory (used pilot shirts, two bucks each) only to be told Ron was busy selling an asphalt spreader to somebody out back. When we were granted an audience with Ron, he was very welcoming and pleased to see the hunting gear. He said, “I can’t go wrong with these” and invited us to take what we wanted from housewares. We got an oak desk that included a taped-down sheet of paper detailing the chain of command flowchart for the Shearwater Air Force Base in the top right-hand drawer’s pullout leaf, a skookum wooden chair with commanding yet comfortable arms (I sit on it now as I write this), a large cast

CHARLYNN TOEWS
Compelling cookware iron frying pan (still in use) and the most expensive set of cookware I have ever owned. As a practicing Stoic, I know it is wrong to become attached to things, even excellent cookware, but this set may be an exception to the rule. Gleaming stainless steel inside and out for beauty and long life; the heavy copper bottom encased where it will not dent or stain, always maintaining its ability to spread heat evenly; an easy-to-clean interior unmarred by screws because the handles are attached in the interior of the stainless steel layers. I boiled Nova Scotia lobster and cooked the kidling’s Terrace pancakes and fried many a sausage. A friend once asked me, “Why are my sausages burnt on the outside and raw on the inside, when yours are so nicely done?” and I started to explain about monitor-
ing cooking temperatures and attention to turning and so forth then interrupted myself to say, ”Oh – I have expensive cookware.” That’s kinda like cheating. Also, I cheated on my Ron’s set, by purchasing Paderno (on sale, 30 per cent off!) from time to time to expand my options. Enamel on cast iron, boo yeah! Pretty colours. More recently, I was innocently driving home from work, and the radio had been switched from CBC to a local station. A store half a block away announced it was selling Paderno for, I don’t know, 700 per cent off, and my truck turned itself in that direction and parked in front. The vehicle then expelled me into the front doors and I found myself with an entire set of the second most expensive set of cookware I have ever had. Score! Some time later, the kidling called to ask if he and his girlfriend could again borrow my Ron’s Army and Navy large lidded pot, as they were making that stovetop-to-oven dish. I said “Sure,” then said to hubby, “Let’s just buy them one,” and he said, “What about that Paderno set in the basement?” Oooh, right. I brought it up and invited kidling to shop. He took the “nonstick” pan (I am not a fan) and the large stovetop-to-oven pot (with a venting lid!) and left the rest. I had the array on the kitchen counter when hubby came home. “I love this cookware,” I said, “but our Ron’s set is practically brand new, it’s just from 1991, so that’s like, 15 years.” He disagreed, so I Googled it: 2016 minus 1991 equals 25 years. I kept the large-lidded Ron’s and have the shiny new Paderno to complete my set.

Prom gowns needed for grad girls Morgan suggests to girls that they should learn how to sew so they can alter their own clothes because we’re all shaped differently. “They ask ‘what do you mean’, so I say to them this is what it’s like to be women nowadays and this is what you have to do,” she says, adding that she often alters her clothing to fit better. Some of the dresses she’s received are very plain, but with places in town to buy items to jazz them up plus the internet, she will suggest to girls that they “bling it up and make it yours.” When the girls are trying on a dress, she’ll get them to move around, sit down and walk around to get a feel for what it’s like to wear. “Some girls, the dress wears them but after about five to 10 minutes, they’re wearing the dress. They’re just giggling and they’re feeling like a princess,” says Morgan. One girl wanted to take a flower off the dress and put a butterfly on it for her little cousin who died when she was small and to get some charms with her dad’s initials to put over her heart in his memory, says Morgan. “What a wonderful idea. What a way to honour him,” she says, adding the girl really liked how she looked wearing the gown and felt very ladylike. It’s only May and already Morgan’s given out 17 gowns and is in need of donations, particularly plus sizes, size 10 shoes, jewelry and accessories. Along with more dresses, which can be long or short, Morgan is looking for volunteers to do alterations, and someone who would do the girls’ hair and makeup. Anyone who wants to get in touch with Morgan about donations or with any questions can contact her on her cell phone 250-641-4038.

IN LIGHT of the early start to the wildfire season British Columbia is experiencing, the provincial government is stressing the importance for individuals and communities to take proper measures to keep themselves and their properties safe this summer. FireSmart Canada, a program designed to protect lives and property in communities by providing training and education, declared May 7 the second annual Wildfire Community Preparedness Day.

THE REPAVING project on a section of the parking lot at the Northwest Community College Terrace campus, includes moving a nearby public bus shelter and bus stop onto campus grounds, a move which the college says should improve the safety and security for students and faculty who take transit. The project involved repaving a large part of the campus parking lot that had become overrun with potholes, and was mainly completed in March, with finishing touches done last week. Moving the bus shelter to the parking lot area should occur sometime this summer. “One of the added benefits of this project is that we can now bring the public bus stop and bus shelter onto the campus where there is better lighting,” said college official Heather Bastin. “This should improve security for students and staff who take transit.” The bus shelter currently sits along McConnell

Avenue in front of the college and is separated by a large hedge that hinders visibility. According to Bastin, relocating the bus shelter will ensure greater safety because the lighting is better on the campus side and the bus stop will be more centrally located. Bastin also said moving the bus shelter could have the added benefit of giving the campus greater exposure. “It brings people onto the campus so that maybe even people who don’t come to school here but take the bus on the way by can see what’s happening on campus as well, which is nice,” she said. The college received $242,000 from the Ministry of Advanced Education for the project in December 2015. The college contributed $8,000 of its own money to the project as well. Bastin said she wasn’t aware of any specific incidents involving the current bus shelter on McConnell Avenue that led to the decision to relocate it. “It was just observed that this would be a better option for everybody,” she said.

Get fire smart this summer, province says The FireSmart program encourages homeowners to take a close look at their properties to determine how they could make them more fire-resistant. This could include thinning out trees, removing flammable material or using fire-resistant construction and landscaping materials. In September 2015, the government gave FireSmart $500,000 to encourage communities to participate in the program and get informed about fire safety.

Chinese students could study here
BOTH THE Coast Mountains School District and Northwest Community College could soon be hosting students from China should discussions underway this week in that country pan out. Two officials from each educational body are part of the City of Terrace delegation which is visiting China this week to build on economic and other ties which began when a Chinese economic entity purchased nearly 1,200 acres of the city’s Skeena Industrial Development Park located just south of the airport. Having two college officials in China fits with its plan to vastly increase the college’s foreign student population which stood at four students in the last academic year, says college official Heather Bastin. “We are working on a number of initiatives
to increase this number over the coming five years with the goal of 100 international students in 2020,” she said. Bastin said the goal of college officials on the trip is to meet with Chinese educators to understand what might be needed. “For instance, if they want to expand here in specific types of businesses, it would make sense for us to understand that so we can help set up courses specific to those industries, for both Chinese and local students,” she said. “Having more international students on our campuses will help us meet a critical mass so we can offer more programming and more services to all our students, local and international,” Bastin added.

Delegation visits China
City officials estimate the cost for the mayor and three councillors is $1,500 each. This is the fourth trip made by local officials to Qinhuangdao since their relationship began with the signing of an initial memorandum of understanding in 2013. Based in Burnaby, Taisheng International Investment Services, purchased the $11.8 million land in 2014 on behalf of the Qinhuangdao Economic Development Zone. Speaking before the trip, Leclerc said she was looking forward to broadening ties with the development zone and others. “We’re looking forward to hearing updates,” she said. “It’s going to be really good to get the lay of the land,” Leclerc added of an anticipated tour of the development zone. She was also looking forward to the discussions that the school district and college would have about attracting students here. “I think there are plenty of opportunities for cultural and other exchanges,” said Leclerc. The itinerary for the trip features meetings and discussions with a wide variety of Chinese economic development officials, politicians and educators. Included are site tours of various establishments, including schools, and attending an exhibition highlighting the 30th anniversary of the Qinhuangdao Economic Development Zone. There’s a briefing on planned developments for at the Qinhuangdao property here and a banquet with municipal officials from Qinhuangdao. Tours of Tiananamen Square, a national museum, the Great Wall and the Forbidden City will take up the delegation’s time during two days spent in Beijing. Educators on the trip from the Coast Mountains School District and Northwest Community College are to have a separate session with an official from the provincial government’s investment and trade office in Beijing who specializes in educational marketing. The delegation returns May 15.
Katherine McIntosh, one of the two school district officials on the trip, said the district wants to first understand what’s possible. “[The] soonest we would see families sending students over is for September 2017. We want to make sure that we really invest the time up front so that the experience the students have would be really high quality,” she said. “It’s important the first time you bring a wave of students over ... because it is that message that goes home to the families in China from that first wave of
students that is going to determine if your program thrives or doesn’t.” As it is, one of the main attractions for Chinese students coming here is that the provincial graduation Dogwood program is highly regarded, McIntosh added. Key to the school district thinking is having Chinese students stay with local families. “One of the main goals is that they would leave here fluent in the English language. The best way for them to learn the language is for them to be immersed,”
McIntosh said. Foreign students going to either high school or college here would also pay more than Canadian students. For the school district, fees would be approximately $13,000, which is close to the provincial average. “If we brought in a large number of students and had to start adding more divisions for secondary courses, the combined tuition would need to cover those costs. The program has to be self sustaining,” said McIntosh. For the college, tuition would be three
times the amount charged Canadian students. College official Bastin said international students would pay more because they don’t contribute as much to the tax base. “It is common to off-set that gap by having higher fees for international students. NWCC fees will still remain very competitive and attractive for both international and local students,” she said. “This is not about generating revenue from international students. It is about having a critical mass of students on our campus to
provide better service and experiences for all of our students.” This would be the second time the college has tried to attract students from China with the last concerted effort being made more than 10 years ago when then-college president Stephanie Forsyth struck agreements with Chinese post secondary institutions. That met with limited success. Along with China as a target, the college is working on attracting students from Germany, Bolivia, Colombia and India.
Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Kemess Underground Project
Invitation to Comment AuRico Metals Inc. (Proponent) is proposing to develop and operate the Kemess Underground Project (proposed Project), an underground copper-gold mine, located approximately 250 kilometres north of Smithers in north-central British Columbia. The proposed Project would process approximately 24,650 tonnes of ore per day over a 13-year mine life. The proposed Project is subject to review under the BC Environmental Assessment Act (2002) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (2012). BC’s Environmental Assessment process will be substituted for the federal process, meeting both federal and provincial requirements for environmental assessment. Provincial and Federal ministers will each make their own decision on whether or not to approve the project. More information on Substitution is available at: http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca/substitution.html The Proponent has now submitted its application (Application) to obtain an environmental assessment certificate which is required before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. In order to receive comments from the public, the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) invites the public to submit comments on the Application. There are 30 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the Application. The comment period will begin on May 18, 2016 and end on June 17, 2016.

Two winning weekends aRea enTRepReneuRs are in the middle of two weekends featuring cash awards for ideas and development. The second annual Thrivenorth competition was held may 7 at the Rem Lee Theatre where winners in several categories were competing with first prizes worth $10,000. Thrivenorth is run by the national Futurepreneur non-profit organization which encourages business development and is financed by the BG Group, one of the liquefied natural gas proponents which wants to build in the region. and this Friday, may 13, the northern B.c. think tank called sncIRe (skeena-nass centre for Innovation in Resource economics) holds its annual Innovation awards. of the dozen finalists, five entries were from Terrace citizens – Bobby middleton, Tara Irwin, Karisa Boult, anika Juergensen and matthew Beedle. The contest only requires that ideas put forth are original and that they ‘turn the model upside down,’ something which sncIRe

LNG project makes progress Two announcemenTs last week move one planned liquefied natural gas (LnG) project at Kitimat closer to a quick construction start should the decision be made to proceed. Transcanada announced may 5 it has received the final provincial permits needed for construction of its coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline that would feed the planned LnG canada plant while LnG canada itself said it has chosen the construction partnership of Bird-civeo to build a 4,500-person work camp. with the final decision on the plant from LnG canada partners expected in late 2016, Transcanada says it is ready to begin work on the coastal GasLink pipeline in 2017. LnG canada is prepared to have its contractors start on accommodation for its workers at a facility called the cedar Valley Lodge as soon as a final investment decision is reached.
The work camp will be built immediately adjacent to LnG canada’s plant at the former methanex site so that workers will be closer to the job site. Though construction of the cedar Valley Lodge will not go ahead unless LnG canada choses to build the coastal liquefied natural gas fa-
cility, Bird-civeo says it will prepare engineering and planning work in the interim. The lodge is expected to be 1.2 million square feet in size with residences, kitchens, dining areas, an entertainment area and a recreational facility. LnG canada says providing accommo-
dation will reduce the strain on Kitimat’s own services and it will also be providing on-site health care. The permits received by Transcanada for its coastal GasLink pipeline were the last two needed for the pipeline and natural gas metering system. The issuing of the
latest permits to Transcanada means that the project has met B.c. environmental protection standards. The project received an environmental assessment certificate in october of 2014. The pipeline would 670 kilometers, starting at natural gas fields in Dawson creek.
hopes will inspire the region to be more creative with natural resources. among the entries is an electric Lakelse connector Train proposed by Boult which would provide transportation between Terrace and Kitimat’s industrial area. also in the running is a design for raised vegetable beds constructed out of cedar offcuts from local sawmills by Irwin and a small sawmilling company envisioned by middleton which would make use out of wood
products which would be traditionally sent to a burn pile. additionally, Juergensen has created a float reel made from recycled materials. matthew Beedle will be presenting a rethought fishery-management method for the Kitsumkalum River, in light of pending climate change, to the judges. middleton and Irwin also competed at the Thrivenorth Business challenge event and will now have a chance to win a further grand prize of $2,500.

Youth summit encourages healthy choices By Jackie Lieuwen Over 480 grade eight students from Terrace, Stewart, the Nass valley, Hazelton and Kitimat gathered for a youth summit April 27 and 28 to learn about healthy life choices. “It was very exciting and engaging and the kids had fun... We had very positive input from teachers and principals,” said Terrace Cpl. Mike Dame, one of the organizers of the summit. “The true measure of our success will be whether the kids take home the positive life messages.” Calling it an “upstream approach” for raising healthy youth, Dame said the goal of the event was to equip students with knowledge and resources to make good decisions. “Grade eight is a stage of critical decision-making for youth. Their decisions at this stage could have ripple affects on the rest of their lives. We want to give them knowledge so that when they face decisions among their peers, they know about the risks.” Called Healthy Choices Summit, the event included professional and local speakers who talked to the youth about social media, healthy relationships, failure, tough decisions, eating, exercise, smoking and substance abuse. School districts bussed their grade eight students in from the surrounding northern communities to the Terrace Northwest Community College longhouse for one school day. Since the longhouse fits 250 people, the conference ran the same program both days — reaching over 480 students in the north. Between presentations at the summit, several of the keynote speakers travelled to surrounding schools and other schools in Terrace to speak to students in other grades. Two of those speakers were conflict coaches Tara Kowalski and Jory Faibish, who do mediation and education work around conflict resolution. “Conflict plays such a big part of human connection,” said Kow-
alski. “We need to cultivate skills to resolve conflict effectively.” She said conflict can grow and strengthen relationships, encourage learning, and develop character if done well. Youth responded enthusiastically to an interactive session where they learned how to move conflict forward using four skills: (1) Mirroring - summar-
izing and paraphrasing to show that you listening. (2) Using “I” statements to take accountability for how you feel and avoid accusing. (3) Be curious and use open ended questions to seek to understand the other person. (4) Shifting make a plan with the person about how to try to change in ways that can help avoid conflict. “Quite often we talk
about stuff, but then we don’t make an action plan moving forward,” said Kowalski. “It’s important to use all four skills because that helps move the conversation forward.” Other presenters were local psychology professor Interpreet Sandhu speaking about building a healthy mind. Dr. Michael Cooper spoke about making
tough choices to reach your goals. Two Terrace rCMP members talked about decision making and building healthy, trusting relationships. Four professional speakers also came to speak at the summit. International speaker Katy Hutchinson shared her story about how alcohol and drugs, peer pressure and unchaperoned, misguided
choices caused devastation in her family. Speaker Jesse Miller talked about the challenge of connecting on social media, which can be overwhelming and daunting, and how to engage in a positive, proactive way to facilitate change. Gary Anaka is a brain coach, and talked about how people can influence over their own
brain development and intentionally grow an awesome brain. Dame said one of the highlights was all the collaboration between communities and organizations to organize the event. “everyone came together in an awesome way to invest in our youth and encourage them to be healthy,” he said.

THIS PHOTO from May 2010 shows Enbridge official Abby Dorval officially submitting the company’s eight-volume Northern Gateway pipeline plan with the federal National Energy Board regulator. The company received approval for the pipeline in 2014, pending meeting more than 200 conditions and provided it start work by the end of the year. It now wants a three-year extension. They also said the AEP participation number has increased from 26 to 31 communities in the past two years. Two of the stewards live in Alberta and two in B.C., with one of the latter being Terrrace resident Elmer Derrick, a Gitxsan hereditary chief. In speaking to the extension request, Northern Gateway president John Carruthers said the company needs to continue building a relationship with aboriginal and Metis people. “Northern Gateway has changed,” Carruthers said. “We are making progress and remain open to further changes. We believe this is the right course of action for Northern Gateway and the right thing to do as Canadians. We know this process requires time and we are committed to getting it right.” Information provided by the AEP indicates it has regular meetings with government officials and, on May 3, met with Assembly of First Nations national chief Perry Bellegarde in what was called “an all leaders gathering” in Vancouver. An Enbridge official subsequently turned down a request for a list
of who attended, saying “for privacy reasons, the attendees of the meeting asked that the list not be shared.” Meanwhile, a group of First Nations on the
Business & service Directory
ENBRIDGE IS asking the National Energy Board for three more years to clear the way for construction of its $6.5 billion Northern Gateway pipeline which would carry oil from Alberta to a marine export terminal at Kitimat for shipment to refineries overseas. In May 6 filings, the company says it needs more time to meet conditions and to line up the support of aboriginal and Metis communities along the pipeline’s 1,177km route. Although the federal government gave its approval to the pipeline in 2014, the company must first meet 209 conditions set down by regulators. That approval was contingent upon Enbridge either starting the pipeline or its Kitimat export terminal by the end of the year, something not likely to happen given the extension request. The request was supported by a group of aboriginal and First Nations people called Aboriginal Equity Partners (AEP). This group, which AEP says numbers 18 First Nations and Metis communities in Alberta and 13 in British Columbia, was formed two years ago and given the opportunity at first to buy a 10 per cent equity stake in the pipeline. That’s since been increased to 33 per cent. The AEP estimates there’s a $2 billion benefit from Northern Gateway for aboriginal and Metis people made up of equity, business contracts, employment and community investment. The group is represented by four people called stewards but a list of the AEP participants has never been released with Enbridge saying it is up to those who have signed agreements with it to identify themselves if they wish. “With our influence and guidance, Northern Gateway is changing and we are taking a leadership role. The process of change based on First Nations and Métis collaboration will continue,” the four AEP stewards said in a release.

Enbridge in fact has little support from First Nations. He also said the federal government has promised to ban oil carrying tankers from the coast.

Gail Therrien August 27, 1949 - April 29, 2016
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Gail Marlene Therrien (nee Mayner). Born in Williams Lake and a resident of Terrace for more than 60 years, she is survived by her loving husband of 50 years Henry (Hank) Therrien and their children Rhonda (Marcus), James (Nicole) and Shelley (Kevin). Predeceased by her parents Ken & Irene Mayner (nee Murphy), and her brothers Keith and Dave, Gail was a sister to surviving siblings Fred (Lindy), John, Wendy (Clayton), and Kathy (Allan) and a cherished Grandmother to Chelsi, Justin, Ayshia, Tyler, Kyle, Austin, Dawson, Travis and Selena. Gail loved to travel and explore new places. The beautiful memories she created traveling with family and friends over the years brought her such happiness. Even when ill, she was always planning her next adventure. She passed away peacefully in Richmond, BC surrounded by family. In honouring her wishes there will be no formal public service and her remains will be cremated and scattered. In lieu of flowers we ask that you do an unexpected act of kindness for someone with her in your thoughts. A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says “ Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song, the good life I lived when I was strong. Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you, keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest, remembering all how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small, go on with your life, don’t worry about falls. I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin, until the day comes we’re together again.�

Skater honoured for effort and passion VALEN COLLINS from Terrace won the Can Skater of the Year award for B.C. and Yukon, given by Skate Canada for his effort, good attitude and progress in skating. In two years, Valen advanced all the way from stage one to five of the six Can Skate levels. “This young skater works hard each day he is on the ice and proudly wears his Can Skate achievements on the sleeve of his hockey jersey,” said his coach Shannon Benmore. “He displays his 1000-watt smile while skating around the fast track and is attentive during lesson time. He is sure to be careful around the other skaters on the ice, and his pure joy for skating is evident to anyone that watches him.” The award is given to one skater from B.C. or Yukon who displays a love of skating, listens carefully, is friendly on the ice, tries their best, and shows progress in their skating skills. Valen was nominated by the Terrace Skating Club to the provincial skating body after he won Can Skater of the Year for both the Terrace club and the Caribou North Central region. He and his family were flown to Vancouver earlier this month for the B.C.Yukon skating awards banquet.

Soccer player back in Terrace for last year By JACKIE LIEUWEN PAIGE PAYNE who played six years in Terrace soccer is returning to the team for her graduating year after spending her Grade 11 year in a competitive soccer academy in Prince George, and competing with a variety of high-level soccer teams for under 18 girls. The season included two showcase tournaments - one in California and one in Vancouver - where university and college coaches come looking to recruit strong new players. Payne was invited by several universities to play on their teams, including Rhodes College in Memphis, but decided in March to sign a contract and play with the UNBC Timberwolves next year. She met the coach, Neil Sedgwick, and said she found him accepting and very knowledgeable and felt it would be valuable to learn from him. “I really liked his style of coaching and just him as a coach… and the girls on the team are so supportive and accepting. I am really excited to play with them next season,” she said. Now age 17, Payne grew up in Kitimat and started playing soccer there at age seven, first in the youth league and then the recreational house league. In 2010, she played on the BC Summer Games northwest team. “I thought it would be a good opportunity to take a step up from the soccer here, a bit more competitive,” Payne said. Through that team she got to know Terrace players and coach Sean Bujtas and decided to try out for

PAIGE PAYNE playing with the Prince George U18 Timberwolves last August. the Terrace select U18 team. “I got along with the girls in Terrace really well, they were very accepting and welcoming… and the team is more competitive and travels to compete,” she said. Payne played with the Terrace select team every summer afterwards, from 2011
to 2014, travelling and competing in three big tournaments in the Lower Mainland and winning bronze in the ‘B’ Provincial Cup in 2013. Then in August 2014, she played in a Vancouver Prospects weekend soccer camp in Prince George, and was seen and recruited
by coaches to join the Whitecaps Soccer Academy there. She moved to Prince George for her Grade 11 year, September 2014 to July 2015, and lived with a soccer coach there while she attended high school and trained at the soccer academy. “That really helped me grow as a player. It made my soccer IQ get much higher… they try to open your eyes to understand the game at a higher level… it really brings up your tactical game,” Payne said. Towards the end of the Whitecaps academy season, Payne was chosen by coaches as a high potential player and given the opportunity to compete in a U18 Vancouver showcase tournament in March 2015. She and 16 others were selected out of all the players in Whitecaps academies in the Lower Mainland, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and as far as London, Ont. Payne said their team won three games and tied one, playing teams from Canada and the United States. During her year at the academy in Prince George, Payne also joined the Prince George U18 team for the season and won bronze in the Provincial A Cup. She tried out for the select team and travelled to a California showcase tournament in November 2014. “It was probably the most fun showcase, due to the location, but we lost three games and tied one,” Payne said. After the busy season in Prince George, Payne decided to move back to Kitimat for her Grade 12 year.

SKEENA STUDENT Devon Wentzell launches across the long jump track.
Skeena jumps to second THE SKEENA Middle School track and field team gave their best performances and, as a team, earned second place in the Sub Zero Track Meet in Prince George April 30 to May 1. The 19 Terrace athletes competed against teams from 13 other schools from Quesnel to Prince Rupert, and finished with 292 points overall. The Skeena track and field team has doubled since last year, and has 25 athletes that regularly attend practices. To help with the growing team, coach Paul Casgra from Parkside joined Cal-
B
edonia coaches Megan Reid and Ben Mattheis in training the team this year. Results from the Sub Zero meet are as follows: Tanisha Davis from Caledonia, finished fourth in discus and javelin. In the 14-15 year old boys division, Tristen Brown finished third in 100m and 300m and Spencer Schulte was second in 100m hurdles, fourth in discus, and third in javelin. In 14-15 year old girls, Olivia Faetz earned third in 1200m and 800m, and Michaela Yeo won first in long jump and fourth in discus.
y the time I left The Pacific Angler it was late afternoon. I put the hunt for the Michaels & Young Fly Shop on hold and climbed aboard one of those stretch buses. I took out the BCFDF newsletter I’d picked up earlier. Underneath the BCFDF British Columbia Drift Fishers banner was a gold and black medallion sticker indicating the organization was celebrating its twentieth anniversary. Has it been that long? I thought. I guess it had, for my recollection is that the BCFCF came into existence around the time that a motion, stating the Steelhead Society of B.C. opposed the use of bait on all steelhead rivers, was made at the Board of Directors’ table by my old friend, Bob Taylor. The SSBC was the largest and most influential angling organization in the province then. It had branches in Haida Gwaii, Vancouver Island, Japan, Germany, and the North Coast. Its Wild Steelhead Campaign, spearheaded by the Society’s Northern Branch, had drawn international attention to the plight of the wild steelhead. The parent body of the organization, based in Vancouver, was enormously successful in recognizing the dangers posed by fish hatcheries then influencing provincial fisheries’ staff to move away from artificial enhancement for anadromous species. Sitting at the table with Bob Taylor
In 13 year old boys, Trai Zips won first in 1200m, second in 300m, and third in discus. Ty Giesbrecht won first in 800m and triple jump, third in 1200m, fourth in long jump and discus. In 13 year old girls, Ann Zettler won first in 1200m and triple jump, second in long jump, and fourth in 100m. Shaena Gyorfi won first in the 800m and fourth in 300m. Erin Billson was second and Hannah Francouer third in the 800m. Sarah Fell finished third in long jump, and Jessica Hamel was third in javelin. Kylie Davis as second in discus and javelin.
“I wanted to graduate alongside the close friends that I grew up with,” she said. “I also wanted to spend my last year as a teenager with my supportive and loving family, as I will be moving out at the end of my grad year.” In September she heads to UNBC to study biomedical science and pursue a bachelor in health sciences with the goal of becoming a physiotherapist. “I love science, and I would love to help people - but not in a way that I have to see blood - so I thought a physiotherapist would be the perfect job for me in the future,” Payne said. “I would be able to help people, and it’s a job where you have to be on your feet and helping people and you have to know a lot about the human body and anatomy.” But for the summer, Payne is back with the Terrace U18 team. “I’ve known these girls since grade six… I want to finish off my year with the girls that I’ve grown up with. I think it would be the perfect way to end my youth years in soccer,” she said. Terrace coach Sean Bujtas said the team finished fourth in the provincials last year. He is looking forward to a strong season this year and happy to have Payne back. “She is tenacious,” Bujtas said. “I have never met such a driven kid on my life. She lives for the sport, she’s always happy to be on the field and the score of the game doesn’t slow her down. She is all heart, and plays and plays and plays. Her drive is what has gotten her where she is.” Payne said she has loved soccer since she was little, but her step dad and his family has played a big part in inspiring her passion for soccer. “He is from a Portuguese background and his whole family is really dedicated to soccer. So I’ve grown up with cousins and uncles who are really into it,” she said. “My step dad and everyone has been super supportive of me. They are always willing to help me practice and get better. My passion for soccer keeps growing and growing as the years go on,” she said. More long term, Payne said her big dream has been to play on the national team, but she focuses on achieving short-term goals. “I shouldn’t be thinking too far in the future,” she said. “I’ll just do these short term goals, go to university, play there and see where it takes me from there.”

Endangered
a particular group of sports fishers above the needs of the fish they were charged to protect, the BCFDF got its way. A comprehensive bait ban wasn’t put in place on the river until April Fools’ Day, 2015. This despite the fact that the Thompson steelhead population has plummeted from over 12,000 fish when I was a young man, to less than 800 today. Fisheries, habitat loss, and ranching are all contributors to the decline of Thompson steelhead to be sure, but – with stocks dwindling to the point of extinction – every steelhead that reaches anglers has grown in importance to where we can’t lose one. The BCFDF should have used its energies to get the river closed to all angling a decade ago and to persuading the federal government to take appropriate action under the Species at Risk Act. But no. What they suggest under the headline “Thompson River in Peril” is that we should look to hatchery supplementation. There is overwhelming evidence from researchers that going to hatcheries is, as a senior fisheries biologist once told me, akin to trading a perfectly functioning kidney for a couple of weeks of dialysis. In the end, the true colours of the BCFDFers show through a transparent cloak of mock concern for fish: they want more fish to catch and will fight to fish them with bait.

Ford was giving away $20 for every test drive to the Red Cross in support of the Fort McMurray community. this will go toward needed health and beauty products for the fire victims in coordination with the Canadian Red Cross. the Real Canadian Wholesale Club, owned by loblaw Companies which has donated $150,000 to the Canadian Red Cross in addition to offering essential supplies, is also

donations directly to the Red Cross through its website, Also taking donations for the Red Cross are provincial government liquor stores. the Canadian government is currently matching all donations made to the Canadian Red Cross. One specific event was held May 7 at ter-
Mumps vaccinations urged ADultS AnD young people are being reminded to keep their immunizations up to date after a Caledonia student was diagnosed with mumps. Most students should be covered by having had the required doses of vaccine when younger, said Dr. Raina Fumerton, northwest medical health officer for northern health Authority. Immunization isn’t 100 per cent effective – it’s between about 76 per cent to 95 per cent effective – so there is a small chance to catch another strain of the disease, which is what could’ve happened here, as it’s believed the student was fully vaccinated, she said. A second case of mumps in the area wasn’t related to the student’s case and precautions were taken, said Fumerton, adding it was also believed that person was fully immunized. And if a person has been diagnosed with mumps in the past, they should be safe from getting it again. “I think if by mid-May if there’s no more cases than this one (student), we can consider this a specific scenario,” Fumerton said, meaning that if no more people develop mumps, then the two cases can be considered isolated incidents. “Certainly if we didn’t have the vaccination rates we do and the high herd immunity, we would’ve seen a lot more cases.” Fumerton said vaccination rates here are fairly high – the overall grade 12 vaccination rate for measles, mumps, rubella is about 82 per cent. “I credit high vaccination rates as being a major contributor for why the recent mumps issue was able to be quickly controlled.” the term “herd immunity” is used to describe the proportion of people who are immune to a disease in a given population, she said. the greater the proportion of individuals in a community who are immune, the smaller the probability that those who are not immune will come into contact with an infectious individual, added Fumerton.
During the years, the vaccine for mumps changed from one dose to two doses so certain age groups might have missed the second dose, she said. A person born before 1957 was likely exposed to mumps and is protected from it, said Fumerton. those born between 1957 and 1969 who had one shot for mumps are protected, she said. For anyone born after 1970 and before 1996, that period is when vaccine became two doses but people may not have known about the change, she added. those born after 1996 would likely have had both doses of vaccine, she said.

But that grew in size with Ford of Canada announcing an additional $20 for every test drive with the money going to the Canadian Red Cross. the event was planned several weeks ago just for the scouts, but the Fort McMurray donation initiative was then added.
