Fort McMurray family settles in By CeCile Favron
CeCile Favron PHoTo
Lee and Jen Suurhoff and their two young children from Fort McMurray are temporarily calling Terrace home after a massive wildfire forced their evacuation from the northern alberta city two weeks ago.
For a family of four forced to flee the Fort McMurray wildfire earlier this month, the support they have received since arriving in Terrace has been overwhelming. Jen and Lee Suurhoff along with their two daughters Madelyn, 6, and reese, 2, will be staying with relatives in town until they are allowed to return to alberta and survey the damage done to their home. The pair, originally from Campbell river, say they are now working on getting settled in to everyday life in Terrace. It didn’t take long following their arrival before help from the community started pouring in. Jen was overwhelmed by the response to her social media postings. “My inbox has been flooded,” she said. “[By] the second day there were tonnes of people coming to drop off toys, clothes, food and even gift cards.” “Everyone here [has] really, really opened their arms,” Lee remarked. The Suurhoffs don’t yet know the fate of their house of three years in Fort McMurray and say that even as they were evacuating they weren’t prepared for what the fire would do to their community. “We were thinking ‘it won’t reach our house’ but by the time we left town we heard that the fire had come into our neighbourhood,” Jen said. “We know that [our house] is not burnt down, the structure is there. We’re thinking it got some water and smoke damage. Half of our street is gone – houses on our street have been com-
pletely burnt and we missed it by a few.” It’s the family’s first-ever stay in Terrace and they are living with Jen’s parents, andre and Emily Le Doux. as of late last week, 20 families in northern B.C. have registered with the Canadian red Cross. Lee, a heavy equipment operator, said they chose to come here so that their young children would have a place to stay while he returned to work. “once I found out how bad it was, I knew I’d be going back [to camp] quick-
er than we’d be going back to our home,” he explained. “So I at least wanted my family to be with family.” It is expected to take months before residents will be able to go back home again and so the Suurhoff family has chosen to enrol their eldest daughter in school. “We went to check out the school down the road because we weren’t sure if we were going to send her to school because that’s a lot of change for a six-year-old,” Jen said.

Cullen leery of bid for NDP leadership SKEENa NDP MP Nathan Cullen says he’s leaning toward not taking a run at his party’s leadership. The long-serving MP whose name was immediately mentioned as a potential successor to Tom Mulcair when the NDP voted in favour of finding a new leader earlier this year, compared his thinking to that of the needle in the colour-coded scale used to indicate forest fire danger ratings. “right now I’d say I’d be in the orange leading to red,” said Cullen. First elected as the NDP MP for Skeena in 2004, Cullen’s national profile has increased steadily and he became well known when he finished a strong third in the last NDP leadership race in 2012. That was won by Mulcair who took the NDP into last fall’s election with high hopes of forming the next government. But the party fell to third place, sparking a leadership review vote resulting in the decision to replace Mulcair. The position itself doesn’t faze Cullen but if he does run and is elected as the leader of the federal NDP, he’s worried about how the job might affect his family. The Cullens have twin boys who will be six this summer and about to enter grade one. “That’s what gives me pause, the impact on my family and being what’s most important, a good parent,” he said. “I’d say that would be the single biggest concern right now,” he said. Cullen noted he already does a lot of travelling given his riding is among the largest in the country and is one of the farthest away from ottawa. and Cullen said he’d have to take into account what residents of Skeena, people he calls his “boss”, might have to say.

Increasing home cost By BEN BENGTSON
ANGIE HEALEY PHOTO
THE WHITEBOTTOM Road fire was stoked early on by strong winds before crews could attack from the ground.
Wildfire burns west of Terrace CREWS CONTINUED to battle a wildfire burning near power lines just west of Terrace over the weekend. The fire, located 11.5 km along Whitebottom Rd in the Old Remo area, covered a total of eight hectares last Saturday. It was first reported to fire
officials from the Northwest Fire Centre around 5 p.m. on May 12 and strong winds at the time prompted crews to respond with air tankers and a helicopter. Fifteen firefighters aided by air support worked throughout the weekend to put out the
flames. At one point, the fire burned under power lines in the area, putting BC Hydro on alert. The fire is suspected to be human-caused, but what sparked the blaze is still under investigation. When the fire was first dis-
covered, conditions meant that crews could not immediately undertake an attack from the ground. “There were some challenging conditions with the wind so we focused on air support first,” explained fire information officer Haley Williams.
THE AVERAGE price of a home in Terrace was 17 per cent higher for the first four months of this year compared to the same period in 2015, indicate the latest real estate sales statistics. Multiple Listing Service statistics show 37 single family residences here changed hands since Jan. 1 with an average selling price of $323,800 compared to the January to April 2015 average of $276,438 when 49 single family homes were sold. Despite the jump in average sales prices, local realtors describe the local market as fairly normal. “What I would say is that it’s a normal spring market: lots on the market, lots for buyers to choose from; sellers have to be a little more sharp on pricing because there’s lots of homes coming up on the market,” said Shannon McAllister, owner and managing broker at the Terrace Real Estate Company. And while the average price so far this year is higher than the equivalent period in 2015, McAllister said caution should be used when making comparisons. That’s because average prices reflect the total values of homes sold divided by the number of homes sold. And even though total dollar volume may drop, if fewer homes are sold, the average will increase. Remax Coast Mountains principal broker Sheila Love acknowledged that overall activity is down this year compared to last year. “However, when I say that, we were very busy in the last couple of weeks,” she said. Recent purchasers, if not pulled to the area by industrial activity, are attracted by the lifestyle, Love added.

Managing Your Money MANAGE YOUR MORTGAGE TO SAVE Low interest rates may have you thinking about taking on more debt: the cost of a new home, ‘moving up’ to a larger home or refinancing your existing home. If so, knowing what’s what with mortgages can save you money now and in the future. To get you going, here are some of the mortgage basics you should know.
Rate-ability The interest rate for a variable rate mortgage is usually lower than that for a fixed-rate mortgage but: • A fixed-rate mortgage locks in your interest rate for the full term so you have the security of knowing your monthly payment will remain the same. • The interest rate of a variable rate mortgage is tied to various fluid market conditions that can increase your interest rate and mortgage payments at any time. Flexibility A flexible mortgage usually includes the ability to change your payment frequency, increase the amount of your regular payments, or apply an additional lump-sum payment each year without a fee – meaning you can pay off your mortgage faster and save on interest costs.
Portability Mortgages usually have an amortization period of 25 years and a locked-in term of five years however life is not always that “typical”. A new job, new family member or any of life’s other unexpected events can lead to the need to move to a new home. A portable mortgage gives you the option of moving your current mortgage from one property to another (generally subject to a property appraisal). Assumability Another mortgage feature to consider if you intend to ‘move on’. In the event that you need to sell your property before your mortgage maturity date, an assumable mortgage allows you to transfer your mortgage term to the new property owner (subject to standard credit approval) – thus saving on prepayment charges. Re-advance-ability A re-advancable mortgage allows you to re-borrow, or ‘re-advance’, the paid-down portion of your mortgage, up to the original registered mortgage amount. This cost-saving feature can save you money on the legal fees that are normally associated with a traditional mortgage refinance. There is never a bad time to look closely at your mortgage options – especially when you work through them with your professional advisor to ensure you’re getting the best mortgage for your unique situation.

Convocation features new traditions THIS YEAR’S convocation ceremony for the Northwest Community College (NWCC) graduating class of 2016 featured some new traditions meant to highlight the uniqueness of the region. The May 12 convocation ceremony took place at R.E.M. Lee Theatre and students from Terrace as well as from other communities in northwestern B.C. were there to be honoured for their academic achievements. One of the new traditions that was incorporated this year featured Gitlaxdax drummers Ross Scodane and Gerald Brown drumming the graduates into the theatre before the ceremony was held. While convocation ceremonies typically feature a mace being carried onto the stage by a master of ceremonies, NWCC decided to introduce a paddle celebrated the aboriginal heritage and uniqueness of the region. The paddle was designed and painted by Stan Bevan, an artist and instructor with the NWCC Fred Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art located at the college’s Terrace campus. “This paddle is a symbol of convocation, said NWCC president Ken Burt in a news release. “In pursuing education you have given yourself the tools to navigate the next stages of your journey.” The keynote speaker for the ceremony was Alice Maitland, who is a retired NWCC regional director and current Hazelton mayor. In her comments to the graduates, she said,“I’ve gotten old doing what I love to do and working on things I’m passionate about. You should do that.”

A
few weeks ago I listened to a female Terrace city councillor speak on the radio about the need for a detox program here. I hope this issue is kept alive in every way possible and not just thrown under the rug like so many are. You see, I, myself, suffered an overdose on August 20, 2014. I may feel the wrath of my family for admitting I had a problem, but the fact is that anyone can be caught in this trap. My overdose was so severe the doctors informed my terrified parents that I would most likely require home care for the rest of my life. I was without a heartbeat and not breathing for nearly 15 minutes. Being dead for such a long time caused me a certain amount of memory loss, hearing loss, and a good amount of eye-sight loss. I laugh about this in retrospect and when I am asked about my accidental overdose leaving me somewhat normal and not nearly as damaged as I should have been from hypoxia, I simply say: “the pickle jar that God gave me must have been a good one so as to keep my brain in good shape during my long sleep.” Yes, I know this is not a laughing matter – I put my entire family through hell as I lay unconscious for the better part of a week. When I got the strength to sit up, then to walk, I looked myself in the mirror only to see a skeleton of a man just 140 pounds. I stared and stared for the longest time and could only think about what I had done to myself. Looking back, I knew it was me that was the problem. I blamed no one for my decisions, even though the addiction stemmed from a workplace accident which mandated three surgeries between 2008 and 2012. The initial accident happened September 23, 2005 and forced me to work with a severely torn shoulder until 2008 when my claim to WorkSafe BC was finally accepted. The overdose was a blessing in disguise, for when I was asleep for nearly one week I was naturally detoxified, meaning I suffered no withdrawal symptoms at all. I am so happy to be able to say that I have been clean of oxycodone for two years coming this August 20,

Reformed addict advocates for a Terrace detox centre
2016. I have also overcome my drinking habits and have been sober for one year and nine weeks. It was exactly that long ago that I had a depressive episode. I had no one to talk to regarding my depression and I climbed into a bottle of vodka each day, not caring for myself, and letting the TV lull me to sleep on my living room rug, fully clothed. This went on for a week until I woke up at 2 a.m. with no vodka left and a few sober moments to think: “do I really want to worry my entire family again?” I thought to myself “no” and I called a taxi to check myself into the hospital. I told the doctors and nurses to not inform my family as my weaknesses could only be addressed by me alone and I had already caused them so much worry. After my release, I joined Alcoholics Anonymous to stay on the right track and to develop a support network. Now I find myself in a position to give back to others who need support – drinkers as well as drug abusers – and to offer my stories about what those addictions will lead to. The bottom line is this: they will suffer an early death from alcohol addiction or an overdose from drugs.
Addiction As any addict will admit to you, using opiates is never
enough and the reality of requiring more and more will turn the addicts toward drug trafficking or into a life of prostitution and, worse yet, robbing other dealers and legitimate places of business just to support their habit. They only think of the consequences when the damage is done. My case was particularly complicated as I require pain medication to deal with ongoing chronic shoulder pain. I asked my doctor to send me to Alberta, as they ran a clinic there with a program specifically designed to wean the addict down to a reasonable amount of a pain medication. Perhaps just a few Tylenol-Codeine No. 3 per day, which serves me well enough now. However, WorkSafe BC would not support my treatment in another province. They were only willing to send me to the Prince George detox facility to, as they said, cure my addiction in only a three week stay of total abstinence. I laughed myself silly at the proposal of being cured of all drug cravings in just three weeks. My constant self medication – using 240 10-mg oxycodone pills every two weeks – caused me to drink a bottle and a half of vodka straight up each day just to deal with the terrible withdrawal symptoms. So how would I mitigate my shoulder and back pain without the oxycodone? Be-
come an alcohol addict, or worse turn to heroin on the street and then perhaps be found dead from an overdose in some flop house with a needle stuck in my arm? I was so desperate for help that I made an appointment with a doctor in town and I told him of my vicious drug and alcohol cycle and that I was just so tired of being sick. Sometimes using methadone works, but it does not give you the euphoric feeling that oxycodone provides. I said my overdose caused me some memory loss and, after being on methadone for weeks, I do not remember how it was that I drove myself to the Willows low cost housing facility to bring my friend their daily Tim Hortons coffee. I am only guessing when I say I drove there. I think I must have taken a double dose of methadone after I talked my doctor into allowing me to pick up a whole week’s supply at once to save myself a daily trip to the pharmacy and the dispensing fees and gas. I did learn the hard way that no matter how much methadone a person takes there is no such thing as a euphoric feeling. Taking a look at what happened to me could be of great benefit to doctors who prescribe this drug so they warn the new user to forget about trying to get high on the drug as its only proper-
ties are to get relief of the withdrawal symptoms.
In need I would say that Terrace needs a detox facility in the worst way, one that would give an outpatient only his or her daily allotment to get them acclimatized to using only their daily supply. I look back at my ten years of addiction and I most certainly would have benefited from such a program. Furthermore, there is no place for the homeless to go on the weekends. It’s as though the people who are in need, homeless, drug addicted, or alcoholics simply do not exist on the weekends and only if you are near death can you find yourself help at the hospital. And each time I have gone to the mental health and addictions service, I usually get the same answer: “oh he, or she, is in a meeting.” I would ask all of you then, would a person in a crisis situation benefit from an appointment days down the road? There is definitely something wrong with this picture. For if a person is in the emergency department with a severe health problem, the patient always receives service, and so should a patient with a serious mental health crisis. Why should a person be forced to wait when there are plenty of counsellors in a meeting next door?
I say all this because people in crisis need help not just on weekdays, but 24/7. And if you need input from an individual who understands the very real need for a detox centre in the hub of the northwest, you only need to talk to a reformed addict such as myself. I was found overdosed in the Willows housing complex. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my friend there who found me unconscious in the hallway and then called the manager, who in turn called the medics. My friend is a very lost and addicted soul struggling with schizophrenia. I visit him almost every day to make sure he is alright and try to coax him to attend AA meetings with me. My friend gets so little money from welfare that he also sells some of his medications so he can maintain his drug habits. I know that sooner or latter he will hit bottom hard from an overdose or liver damage from keeping up that sort of lifestyle.
Sad but true A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting a woman who was advocating for a detox centre in Terrace with some large homemade signs in the courthouse lobby. I introduced myself and told her my own story only to notice that no one had signed her petition. I pleasantly told her that she may do much better getting signatures downtown where people with alcohol addiction congregate around the Inn of the West. I had a funny feeling that this very nice lady would feel out of her element there, unless she was being escorted by some sort of huge bouncer. Anyways, maybe it would be a waste of her time because some chronic addicts don’t really desire help unless they hit bottom so hard that there is only one way to go, which is straight into a coffin. Sad, but true. From a reformed substance abuser who cherishes sobriety and the opportunity to help others. Editor’s note: This was submitted by a longtime resident who does not wish to be identified.

Shadows ENBRIDGE has swung for the fences in its application to the National Energy Board for a three-year extension of its permit to build the Northern Gateway pipeline. It’s doing so by promoting an aboriginal buy-in of its $7.9 billion project as a way of demonstrating broad aboriginal support. This takes the form of the Aboriginal Equity Partnership (AEP), 31 First Nations and Metis communities with whom Enbridge has signed agreements which could see 33 per cent of the pipeline owned by the communities. The AEP says this amounts to more than 70 per cent of First Nations and Metis communities along the proposed pipeline route. It’s an impressive statistic when laid against one of the foundational pillars of opposition to the pipeline – aboriginal people don’t want it built. But while those in opposition are very public, other than two First Nations and two Metis leaders identified as “stewards” of the AEP, the identities of the AEP communities aren’t known. Enbridge cites confidentiality clauses within the AEP agreements as to why it won’t name the communities, saying it’s up to the communities themselves. Fair enough. But given that no industrial project has any likelihood of success or acceptance without aboriginal support, far more transparency is needed. It’s time for the AEP to fully come out from the shadows.

When in doubt, call head office
hen company service is less than satisfactory, Canadian consumers are too polite to complain to the company in person or even on line. Instead -- according to a May 9 report in the Financial Post -we slink away to find another supplier. Not me. Especially not after my blueberry incident April 28. Once home with groceries put away and lunch, I complained directly to Wholesale Club’s Brampton head office by website and by phone. May 4 I received an email from Loblaw’s Senior Customer Relations Representative expressing their disappointment I had found their store’s service unsatisfactory. All along I knew any shortcomings were not the fault of the local store, but with the directives coming down from some head office exec sprawled in a leather chair. Local staff are equally upset with the willy nilly changes. The blueberry incident topped months of vexation as my main supermarket discontinued brands I’d been

THROUGH BIFOCALS
CLAUDETTE SANDECKI purchasing weekly since the store was built, introduced new brands or smaller sizes, and tested my patience and brand loyalty moving things around from one aisle to another until my shopping trips took longer. Why haven’t I abandoned this supermarket to shop at another? Simple. Most goods are a dollar or two cheaper than at other stores in town. If the product is a standard brand packaged in a bottle or can, exactly the same as what I’d find in a higher-priced store, I see no reason to pay more. Generous parking is a big draw for me. Shop any fore-
noon and you’ll find oodles of drive-through parking, with a handy gas station nearby. Display shelves stop far short of the ceiling. I feel more comfortable. Less constricted. Don’t ask me why floor-to-ceiling shelves exert a subtle psychological discomfort on me, but they do, equal to Justin Bieber Muzak. Most of all, I like the staff. They are too few, and stressed. Yet they hide any annoyance when I ask them to show me where a familiar product has been moved to, or send them off to find a price for something that’s not marked. I’m aware when they see me approaching they may turn away, intently stock the shelf before them, or dash to the washroom. No bother. Neither tactic deters my quest for information; I seek another staffer. The day of the blueberry incident I had a choice between 18.2 oz. blueberries from Chile priced at $6.98, but none available. Or 9.8 oz. blueberries from Mexico with no price. Sounds of demolition led me to a staffer pounding out his frustrations on a back-
S TANDARD
room wall with a heavy hammer . During a lull in the pounding I outlined my quandary to Big John and handed him a small clamshell. “Does $6.98 entitle me to two of these?” “It’s not the same product,” he said. That I already knew. He scanned the barcode but offered me no price specific to Mexico berries. The cash register charged me $6.98. Too often the till charges a dollar or two more than the price on the display shelf. Or, as in the case of the ham ring advertised in the flyer at $5, the shelf price was closer to $7. Why? The staff had been too busy to update the price to the flyer’s. My cashier stub gave me a website www.storeopinion.ca and a phone number 1-888-495-5111 where I was invited to tell them how they did today. I told them. The email ended, “We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.” Loblaws can count on me.

The Mail Bag Clark must say ‘no’
Dear Sir: British Columbians have recently learned that Premier Christy Clark has been receiving a hefty bonus from the Liberal party who charge attendees up to $20,000 per plate to hear dinner speeches by the Premier. Madam Premier claims this has been going on since the early 1990s by previous B.C. governments and she does not see it as an issue. Does that mean it is okay because it can be construed as a tradition? The provincial Conflict of Interest Commissioner ruled the Premier did not breach any rules or break the law while receiving this money. That is good news because we certainly do not want our Premier to break the law.
T
Shelter debate continues
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
B.C. PREMIER Christy Clark, left, and Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne, right, have been criticized for having their respective political parties host high-priced events attended by corporations and others. What the commissioner was not able to do was to rule on the ethics associated with the practice which allows corporations and wealthy individuals to lobby the Premier, her staff and the Liberal party/provincial government. This is a prac-
tice that slips through the back door disguised as a dinner cost when in fact it is a financial contribution that the general public cannot begin to match or dream of being a part of. The wealthy and powerful are given a special window of
opportunity to influence provincial government policy and legislation and for her to say otherwise is not believable. Neither an individual or corporate entity is going to shell out that kind of money and not expect something in return. Most people who care
and understand politics know that is the case. The Premier accuses those who oppose development of always saying no when they should be saying yes. Reversing the position of the premier on the matter of receiving a bonus for listening to
the wealthy and powerful, she should not be saying yes, but “no” And saying that as well to projects and development that are not in the long term best interest of British Columbia and Canada. Jim Culp, Terrace, B.C.
DEBATE OVER the location for a homeless shelter in Terrace council has continued online at www.terracstandard. com. Walter Fricke suggests CN “should become a decent corporate citizen and donate the land where the old bunkhouse burnt down for a wet shelter [a term given a shelter that accepts people who have been drinking]. It would be close enough to downtown to be convenient and it would possibly appease the citizens and businesses that don’t want it in the downtown core.” But Terrace city councillor James Cordeiro wonders who will build a building if a location was found. “There is no funding available for new construction from the province only renovation,” he says. “Furthermore even if funding was there new construction would be required to be at Leed Gold standard and the cost would be significant.”
Why would Cullen want leader’s job?
hey say a week in politics is a long time but now, even after more than a month, I wonder how Nathan Cullen is doing on deciding whether he’ll take a run at the federal NDP leadership or not. When the federal NDP gathered in Edmonton and voted to give current leader Tom Mulcair the boot, it took a nanosecond for the speculation to start on who his successor would be. And, no surprise, the list included Skeena’s own MP Nathan Cullen. That was predictable given he is a House of Commons veteran going on 12 years, is apparently well-liked on the Hill including even by members of other parties and, most important, had surprised many with his strong third place showing in the last leadership vote. But I find myself asking why on earth he would ever want the job. In the last election the Conservative vote essentially fell to
its bedrock level and it can expect, assuming it doesn’t pick an utterly disastrous new leader, that vote will at a minimum pretty much hold in 2019. So the only way the New Democrats can get out of third place is to take mega votes from the Libs. I give you two words to explain why that will not happen: Leap Manifesto. This starry-eyed clarion call to declare holy war on greenhouse gas emissions was debated at the NDP convention. It proposes that within 20 years every single kilowatt hour of electricity used across Canada will come from renewable resources. And that by 2050 the use of fossil fuels will be zero. But the real vote killer is the demand that no new projects that involve using non-renewable resources – including pipelines – be permitted starting immediately. Which, for example, would translate to no LNG plants ever being built in the northwest. So the party that claims to
GUEST COMMENT
MALCOLM BAXTER represent the workers who would earn good money building and operating those projects and the First Nations which will benefit from them are going to be kicked to the curb? I am reminded of the 1983 election in Britain when, still smarting from its defeat by Maggie Thacher in the previous election, the Labour Party ran on a New Hope for Britain manifesto which was a violent lurch to the
left. One of its own MPs, Gerald Kaufman, described it as the longest suicide note in history. He was not wrong: Labour was massacred. The Leap Manifesto may be shorter, but the effect will be the same, a leap into electoral oblivion. So I repeat, why on earth would Cullen want the job? The fascinating thing was that one of the speakers at the convention who made plain her opposition to Leap was a certain Rachel Notley, premier of Alberta’s, yes, NDP government. Pointing out that her government had put forward and was implementing a concrete plan, she added, “That is what you do when you move up from manifestos to the detailed, principled, active plans you can really implement by winning an election.” In other words adopt Leap as party policy and you’ll never win an election and therefore will never be able to implement anything. Meanwhile in another part of
Politics Town federal environment minister Catherine McKenna was singing a similar tune. Speaking at a town hall meeting with Gina McCarthy of the US Environmental Protection Agency, she said, “[Canada] didn’t get into fossil fuels overnight and we’re not going to get out of them [overnight].” And a Canadian Press story reports “sources” saying prime minister Justin Trudeau has instructed his senior lieutenants to come with a plan that would see both the Energy East and the Kinder Morgan expansion in BC go through, which will be music to the ears of Notley. So we have the centrist federal Liberals in favour of the Kinder Morgan expansion, we have the left wing Albert government in favour of the Kinder Morgan expansion and yet we have the right wing BC government at this moment opposed to that same project. As a friend of mine commented, “It makes no sense.” baxyard@gmail.com

Move to broaden EI benefits shouldn’t be ‘one-off,’ MP says
N O RT H W E S T RESIDENTS shouldn’t have to wait until there’s a crisis to have their Employment Insurance benefits extended, says Skeena NDP MP Nathan Cullen. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with the decision, but this shouldn’t be treated like a one-off,” said Cullen of the decision to add five additional weeks of coverage to the existing 45 weeks for qualifying applicants. The decision, announced in the federal budget to come into effect in March, adds those five weeks to qualifying applicants
in 12 regions, one of which is northern B.C. It applies to regions where the unemployment rate has increased in size by two percentage points between March 2015 and February 2016 compared to the lowest point between December 2014 and February 2015. The extended benefits will begin in July and be retroactive to January 2015, a move said to incorporate job losses caused by a downturn in the oil and gas industry. That would apply specifically to areas such as northeastern B.C. which has seen

They are so utterly different,” said Cullen in saying the northwest has been more vulnerable over the years to economic shifts. And he’s also looking forward to promised improvements as to how many people can qualify for EI in the first place. “It really seems to have been designed not

Cullen also said it’s important to remember that the money for EI comes from employees and employers, not the federal government. Late last week, the federal government also announced it was extending benefits in three more areas.

Young mother fighting for her life A YOUNG wife and mother’s life has been turned upside down with a diagnosis of cancer that will see her undergo intense treatment for the next year. Leah Wiebe, 28, went to the doctor for some bruising May 3 and was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), says her sister Ruth Magee. Within 48 hours, Leah was medivaced to the Leukemia and Bone Marrow Transplant Program at Vancouver General Hospital where she began many agonizing tests, says Ruth. On May 7, she began chemotherapy. Leah’s doctor informed her that she will be in treatment there for the next year. Her husband Ryan will not be able to work full time or at all, because he will be needed for her care as well as to care for their two boys, Oliver, 4, and Lincoln, eight months old. On a GoFundMe page set up by Ruth, Leah wrote about how she’s doing. “This is our life right now. Staring outside the glass, watching every day go by, business as usual. Except it’s not business as usual. It’s frozen into a new reality. I’m grappling to understand just what this reality looks like for me and Ryan, and my boys, and my parents, and my family, and my everyone,” she says. “People keep saying I’m so strong, but they don’t see me here. In fits of emotions I can’t control. I don’t feel strong. Thankfully everyone around me is being strong, lifting my weary body...Ryan’s been my rock, as everyone who knows him would expect....” Ruth says Leah is currently on maternity leave from Studio 3, where she worked as an esthetician. “She is generous, kind, person-
able, compassionate and loves people with all her heart,” says Ruth, adding that Leah is a fighter, having tackled another tough medical condition with her oldest boy, Oliver. Last year, he was diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and a neurological disorder, which was an extremely devastating time for Leah and Ryan, says Ruth. CAS is an uncommon speech disorder in which a child has difficulty making accurate movements when speaking because the brain has difficulty directing or coordinating the movements, according to the Mayo Clinic website. Leah became Oliver’s advocate and found the best therapy and care for him, part of which took their family to Detroit, Michigan to the Kaufman Children’s Centre for two weeks of intensive therapy. “She would move heaven and earth to get the best care and future for her son,” says Ruth. Now the focus is on Leah and the cost of the whole family moving, and living in Vancouver without working is substantial. “We don’t know what the future holds at this point, but we know that the cost of travel, accommodations and childcare will be added to their bills, mortgage, and already weighty life expenses,” says Ruth. Ruth and Leah’s mom, Moe Rosenau, has also moved down to Vancouver to help with Leah’s care. She will be living with Leah and her family to share the childcare and caregiving for Leah. Fundraisers are being planned, including one at Leah’s workplace Studio 3, called Love for Leah on May 22. Others include a large garage sale, which is already accepting donations: call Jessica 250-641-0453.

TIME IS ticking down to this year’s Relay for Life, which will be the first shorter relay at six hours instead of 12 hours. But that doesn’t mean that any of the highlights will be missing or that the event will be any less fun. Everyone is invited to the family-friendly event and there’s still time to enter a team. “Our goal for this year is 36 teams, so we are still hoping to encourage a few more teams to register,” says Amanda Barry, annual giving coordinator for Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert for the Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon division.
“The teams that have joined are doing amazing and fundraising is in full swing.” As of May 13, 28 teams had entered with a total of 139 participants. Nearly $25,000 had already been raised. There is no admission fee; however, donations are encouraged – cash or check is easiest, but there is a limited ability to process credit cards.

from the provincial government via a lengthy lease by the Prince Rupert Kinsmen club in the late 1940s. In return for the lease, the club made a commitment to use the property as a children’s camp. That commitment continued when the Terrace Kinsmen took over the property from the Prince Rupert Kinsmen. The site has hosted a variety of events including weddings, family reunions and the Kinsmen annual Kermode Bear Swim that kicks off the New Year in which any-
one who wants to brave the cold jumps in the lake under watchful eyes of the search and rescue water rescue team and paramedics. Kinsmen say the new camp will have a number of stand-alone cabins, possibly six to eight that can sleep about 60 people, a concrete washroom building with a utility room attached and a cookhouse. The cookhouse, a modular unit, is expected to be the first of the new buildings to be placed at the site. There will still be camping and RV facilities there too.

Fort McMurray family returning to normal life “But we met the principal and they gave her everything that she needed. They let her pick out a new backpack, they gave her supplies, they put her in the hot lunch and breakfast program all for free.” A local gymnastics club also provided spots for both the daughters free of charge. “We’re just trying to establish a routine, that is the best way we can settle,” Jen explained. “[Madelyn] goes to school, they’re both going to be in gymnastics. We’re just trying to get back that sense of normal.” Lee was an hour and a half away from home at work when the evacuation of Fort McMurray started on May 3, but he wasn’t worried because the first reports stated that the fire was still some distance from their home. “It pretty much went from nothing to evacuation in a couple of hours – it got bad pretty fast,” Jen
reflected. By the time Lee arrived home that day, the entire town was being evacuated. “We didn’t know if we were going to be gone for a couple of days or a week, we kind of packed for week, but now we’re probably talking about three months or so,” she continued. Since registering with the Red Cross, the Suurhoffs have been receiving updates from the Alberta government by email and phone. An estimate of how long it will take before residents can return to Fort McMurray is expected to be released this week. Lee and Jen are eager to head back and start rebuilding. “The thing about Fort McMurray is the community is amazing, just like Terrace is here,” said Lee. “I don’t think the community will take a whole lot to come back.”

MP leery of leader bid “These are the people who hired me and, in this job, they are my first priority,” he said. “Some like the idea of being in a riding where the MP would be the leader of a party because of the attention it would bring to rural issues,” said Cullen. “Others say a MP in that position wouldn’t be able to pay attention to local issues,” he added. Still, when weighing all of the factors, Cullen said he’s keeping an open mind. “There have been a lot of discussions with my family,” he said. To date Cullen is not aware of any formal or in-

Senior NDP federal officials met over the weekend to thrash out when a leadership convention would be held and to set the rules for how the race would be run. Speaking in advance of those deliberations, Cullen said his ultimate decision on running or not running wouldn’t depend on whether there a leadership convention is held sooner rather than later.

City probes Keith Ave. location next couple of months what the work plan will be based on the data analysis,” says city economic development officer Danielle Myles, adding that costs won’t be known until later. But the city has set aside $250,000 from its land acquisition reserve fund to pay for whatever is planned for the three parcels, she said. That fund was bolstered several years ago when the city sold just over two hectares on the northwest corner at the intersection of Keith and Kenney for $1.025-million to the company which owns the Chrysler and Toyota dealerships here. Two of the city parcels are west along the 5000 block of Keith from the above two hectares and the third is north of the two hectares and bounded on the north by the CN line.

MONITORING WELLS have been installed on city-owned land along the 5000 block of Keith Ave. in the city’s light industrial area. The city has no active potential purchasers for the parcels but has received inquiries, said Myles. “We are carrying out this work independently and have shared the same information about the property and possible timelines for redevelopment of the property with any proponent that has ex-
pressed interest,” she said. One interested party is the Pomeroy Group, the owner of the Chances gaming centre here, which has been scouting locations in and around Terrace with an eye to a large development incorporating a hotel, meeting spaces and a casino. The city unveiled
two years ago what it is calling the Keith Estates Neighbourhood Concept Plan taking in the city-owned parcels and that which belongs to private interests. In total, the plan would involve 29 hectares along the north side of the 5000 block of Keith.

THE CITY of Terrace is expanding its efforts to clean up and then sell land that it owns which was once used for industrial purposes. This time it has hired a contractor to install monitoring wells on three parcels of land totalling 6.13 hectares along and adjacent to the 5000 block of Keith in the heart of the city’s light industrial area. That is to provide information on what is underground to then determine what is needed for the city to obtain environmental clearance from the province for the property, so that it can more easily sell the parcels. Properties once used for industrial purposes are called “brownfield” and any contaminants found in the soil must be dealt with before an environment all-clear is given by the province. “We will know in the

Radio station eyes expansion
Keith Ave. probe key to future sale lands along Greig to a Calgary-based hotel company called Superior Lodging. The sale of 2.79 acres for $877,500 was first announced three years ago but has been waiting on the province’s environmental green light. That location on Greig between Kalum and Emerson was once the location of a thriving retail and food shopping complex, including a gasbar.
But it closed in the late 1990s after the area’s once dominant forest industry crashed. The property was then purchased by a private developer who then sold it to the city for $1-million in 2005, a move which sparked controversy. And it was the city that eventually demolished the shopping centre building in the expectation the land would be more attractive to prospective purchasers.
NORTHERN NATIVE Broadcasting, the parent company of CFNR, has applied to expand with two radio stations in Vancouver but will have to wait until a court case ends to find out if it’s been successful. The stations are currently run by Aboriginal Voices Radio (AVR), which briefly lost its licences in August 2015 when the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) revoked them after what the CRTC said was “numerous, serious and repeated instances of non-compliance with the regulations and the broadcaster’s conditions of licence.” AVR filed an application with the Federal Court of Appeal, which stayed the CRTC’s revo-
cation and ordered that AVR’s licences remain in effect until the appeal is finished. The CRTC said it will announce a public process to consider these applications at a later date, if possible. AVR also has stations in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa and the CRTC has received applications from other native broadcasters for those if they become available after the court case is completed. “By order of the Federal Court of Appeal dated August 21, 2015, AVR has been granted leave to appeal the decision revoking its licences in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa,” said CRTC manager media relations Patricia Valladao.

That area is bisected by Kenney and then runs east to the Sande Overpass. It calls for a blend of residential and commercial development, citing the need for both given the potential for growth in the city and region should large scale industrial development ever take place. The land west of the Keith and Kenney intersection once formed the log yard for a large sawmill owned by Skeena Cellulose which was located on the land running east of the intersection toward the Sande Overpass. Skeena Cellulose’s parent, Repap, began experiencing difficulties in the late 1990s and eventually went out of business. A local company called the Terrace Lumber Company bought the mill but closed it soon after, setting the stage for a series of events which resulted in the city acquiring the majority of the sawmill lands after taxes weren’t paid. This is the second time the city has sought to turn a brownfield location it owns into a sellable commodity. It is still seeking the final environmental allclear from the province so it can close out the sale of a majority of the former Terrace Co-op

Conservation warns to leave baby wildlife DURING THE spring between late May and early June, deer, moose and elk have their fawns and calves. During the spring, people sometimes encounter newborn and baby wildlife and Conservation Officer Scott Senkiw cautions that such situations have risks. Some large ungulates, carnivores and even birds can be very protective of their young. Cow moose in particular, can become aggressive if they feel their calves are threatened. Moose are pound for pound very powerful animals and deserve a wide berth. Unless observing a calf from the safetyWARM of your vehicle it is best to leave the area quickly and quietly.

Girl guides see local war history New spot
GIRL GUIDES from Hazelton,Smithers, Kitimat and Terrace visited a historical landmark here in Terrace at a recent Girl Guide rally held at the 747 Air Cadet Hall. This particular war bunker is one of several in the Terrace area and the girls were fortunate to have Debbie Letawski of George Little House to give them some of its history. They were also entertained by Paul Hawkins’ stories of the Bombadier aircraft, and how it was used to transport over 100 reindeer to a breeding farm in Alberta. Thank you to Yvonne Moen for arranging the outing and Rick for his assistance as well.

THE PIONEER home formerly housing a doctor’s business next to the farmers market now invites the public to come see and buy antiques. Antiques, Artisans and Oddities opened in the green and white house that was the location for the practice of Dr. Francis Osei-Tutu, the now-retired urologist. Debbie Letawski says the building is being leased and artists were invited to have their work included. Several artisans who aren’t in another location show their creations here too. The mandate is to support the artists and shop local. While Letawski’s business is the display of antiques and other works at the George Little House, her business partner, Julie Langille, does upcycling and runs this business. The building is the original Haugland House, built in 1939, and sits on its original spot, unlike other pioneer houses that have been moved. Each upstairs room even has its own theme.

Noel Martel
December 25, 1934 to April 27, 2016
Loved but not forgotten. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a loving husband, father, father-in-law, grandpa, brother and good friend. Noel passed away after a noble fight against cancer. He was predeceased by his mother Helen, father Napoleon, beloved wife Joyce, granddaughter Melissa, grandsons, Charles and Austin. He is survived by his second wife Phyllis, his four sons, Patrick (Maggie), Dennis (Mary-Ann), Larry (Allison), Victor (Eduarda), his loving grandchildren, Katerina, Sofie, Mercedes, Morgan, Michelle, Steve, Andrew, David, Logan, Katrina, his dear sister Cordelie (Joe), nephews, nieces, cousins and many friends. Noel was born in Bonnyville, Alberta. After serving time in the RCAF stationed in Eastern Canada he decided to move back to the west. He lived most of his life in BC and in 1966 decided to make Terrace his home. He loved fishing on his boat and would take any opportunity to be out at sea. Noel was employed by the BC Forest Service. As a member of the Elks Club for 50 years he made many close friends. The family would like to thank Dr. Moolman, Dr. Fourie, Dave and Dawn Parker, the staff at Terraceview Lodge, Northern Health Home Support, Hospice Society, Meals on Wheels, Terrace Hospital, the many friends and neighbors who provided support. In lieu of flowers, Noel would appreciate donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date and will be announced on the radio.
We will miss you dearly but you will always be in our heart.
Memories in the Heart Feel no guilt in laughter, he knows how much you care Feel no sorrow in smile that he's not here to share You cannot grieve forever, he would not want you to He'd hope that you carry on, the way you always do So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you care The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared Let memories surround you. A word someone may say Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day That brings him back as clearly as though he were still here And fills you with the feelings that he is always near For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart And he will live forever locked safe within your heart

JACKIE LIEUWEN
(250) 638-7283
Marathons may run in the family By JACKIE LIEUWEN THREE GENERATIONS of a now Terrace-based family are running the Copenhagen marathon together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of when their family immigrated to Canada. Sisters Sue Simpson and Birgitte Bartlett (previously Brørup) emigrated as children from Denmark, and are running the marathon May 22 with Bartlett’s daughters Nina Peden and Mary Denton, and grand daughter Araya Bartlett. Inspired partly by the historical and cultural connection to Copenhagen, but also the drive to stay healthy, the family members have varying degrees of running experience, most inspired by Simpson. Simpson started running for general health in 1980 at age 27, and has run over 20 marathons in the last 36 years. “It’s sort of a natural progression for a runner, especially once you get hooked,” said Simpson. “Some people are happy with 5-10K runs, but for me, my strength was definitely in the distances.” When she is not training, Simpson runs close to 13 km five days a week, and says in her younger days she ran 16 km every day. She was the first Canadian woman to finish the Vancouver BMO marathon in both 1984 and 1985, and her best time was 2 hours and 53 minutes. A marathon is “a good stress reliever and there’s good camaraderie,” Simpson said, adding that running is easy to fit into any schedule.
“My parents have been a great inspiration to our whole family.” “You can do it at any time, you don’t need a gym to be open or anything special. You can just go,” she said, adding that she runs outside year-round, any temperature. Simpson was age 13 and Bartlett 14 when they emigrated with their parents Erik and Grethe Brørup and sisters Marianne and Nina in 1966. Bartlett remembers the Polish ocean liner she and her family took when they left Copenhagen: It was called the MS Batory, carried close to 1,000 people, and was like a cruise ship, she said. “They had different menus every day… there was a swimming pool, and there was tennis and ping pong on the decks… a lot of the Polish immigrants didn’t have cabins, and they actually camped out on the floor,” Bartlett said. She added that she and her family shared two cabins and were
among the few who did not get seasick during the 10 day journey across the Atlantic Ocean and up the St. Lawrence River to Montreal, Québec. Bartlett’s father Erik Brørup was a bush pilot and moved the family because he was recruited to Canada for work. They moved around and lived in several different communities in Ontario for three years before moving to Terrace in 1969. Bartlett says she has returned to Copenhagen close to 10 times since they left 50 years ago, but her trip this month may be a farewell to her home country, since her closest aunt and uncles have passed away. “I feel like we have lost our connections to Denmark now… so I almost feel like it is a goodbye to Denmark for me,” Bartlett said. Running a marathon in the final visit is also fitting because her parents were the ones who instilled patterns of healthy living. “My parents have been a great inspiration to our whole family for being active and eating healthy,” JACKIE LIEUWEN PHOTO Bartlett said. Over 10,000 people are ex- FAMILY MEMBERS Sue Simpson, Birgitte Bartlett and her daughters Nina Peden and Mary Denton pected to run the Copenhagen and granddaughter Araya are running the Copehagen marathon together May 22. marathon, which takes a flat, 42-kilometre route through down- marathon will be her first. town and past some of the most at“At first I wasn’t committed to tractive sites in the city, including going.

Terrace volleyball girls spike to the top BOTH THE U16 and U15 girls volleyball teams from Terrace won gold in provincials in Abbotsford early this month. U16 Terrace Rage won all three round robin games, beating teams from Vernon, Whiterock and Victoria and finishing first in their pool. Next they faced BCO Vancouver, where they came out strong and beat the team in two sets, winning 25-19 and 15-12. In semifinals, the Rage faced Kelowna in a strong, close match. “They had some great players and a big power hitter that pounds the ball,” said coach Mark Neid. But the Rage blockers shut down the big hitter and the team ran middle attacks and made strong serves to earn the victory in three sets (with scores 25-18, 22-25, and 15-9). The girls were riding high as they launched into the final game against Burnaby Action. The score stayed close and jumped back and forth in the first set, but the Rage squeaked out a tight win 28-26. In the second set, the Rage took advantage of a few Burnaby errors, and won 25-20 to earn the gold. “We won as a unit, with all players contributing,” said Neid. “Our team has worked hard this past month on passing to be able to run a quick offence which other teams couldn’t keep up with.” The girls head to Calgary for nationals on May 21-23, and then six members of the team are trying out for BC regional team in Prince George on May 28.
Raging U15 girls U15 TERRACE Rage also earned gold in their provincials, competing against 12 other teams in their division. They won their first two round robin games in two straight sets against Victoria Red and then Vancouver Black Voltage. Then they beat
T
Penticton Volleytech in a tight match with three close sets to earn a bye into the semifinals. They faced Burnaby Focus Primo in the semifinal game, which was “very challenging and physically exhausting,” said coach Frank Marrelli. They won the first set 25-20 and lost the second 18-25. In the third set, Jessica Falardeau led the team with strong serves, and the girls won the set 15-2. “Both teams battled for consistency but nerves and confidence took over,” said Marrelli of the match. In finals, the Rage faced North Shore Stars from Vancouver. Tired from the previous match, the Rage fell behind very quickly in the first set and suffered a dismal 7-25 loss. But the Rage rallied back in the second set, with great setting and smart attacks to earn a 25-20 win. Both teams stepped it up in the third set, fighting some nerves, but strong serving allowed Rage to beat the Stars 15-12 and win the gold. Marrelli said it was an amazing achievement for a team with only nine players, four of whom had very limited tournament experience compared to other teams. He and co-coach Jennifer Lindstrom thank parents and the Terrace community for their support. Terrace’s U17 girls won fourth in division 3 nationals, which is one level higher competition then before. Coach Tyler Clarke said they chose to compete at that level in order to challenge the girls with tougher competition, and it really elevated their game. The U14 girls finished 15th in provincials, competing against very talented teams. They were ‘in’ every game they played and had some strong rallies, despite limited experience, said coach Carmen Didier. They “are strong, coachable athletes and assuming they continue to play... I believe we will see [future medals].”
he day’s last light lit the tops of the riffle spilling into the Cabin Pool and those spots farther upstream where protuberant rocks punctuated the long glide below the bridge. The night and the water were warm. Some night hawks on high and some swifts below them testified that there were a few bugs in the air, but on this particular night some key factor was unaligned for there was no significant hatch. I made my way up the trail. The lights from the lodge and those in Bill and Shirley’s cabin cast reflections across the flat water. There were no anglers working the normally magical moments before dark. Or so I thought until I stopped for one last look at the river and spotted a fisherman on the far side just below the bridge. His rod was bent. I leaned my pole against some stream side shrubbery and lifted my binoculars. I found and focused on the angler just as he was slipping what appeared to be a nice rainbow into the river. With the light all but gone, the action was all in silhouette. The man was making short casts upstream and following the drift of his fly in such a way that he had to be using a nymph. As I watched, he released two more fish. I picked up my rod and quickened my pace over the final 100 metres of trail so that I was able to see him hook, play, then re-

I returned to the cabin more puzzled than annoyed. We were due to leave the next day. Minutes before our departure, I was fortunate to bump into that father from Prince George in front of the lodge. “I saw you do well the other night,” I said. He hesitated. “Oh yeah?” he said. “Nymphing, eh?” “Yeah, drifting a Copper John,” he said. Oh, I said knowingly, not wanting to admit I’d never heard of a Copper John. ... to be continued...

Business-focused survey found useful By BEN BENGTSON AN IN-PERSON survey designed by the city to learn about the condition of the local business community will be more illuminating when it is conducted a few more times and they can pinpoint trends, say survey volunteers and organizers. The Terrace business walk survey was completed on Feb. 17 and the results were released at the end of April. According to the results, 14 volunteers surveyed 44 businesses in Terrace and another 10 in Thornhill. The aim was to gather information about what was going well for businesses in the area, what needed improvement and what specific challenges they still faced. Of the surveyed participants, 43 per cent said their businesses had shrunk or were shrinking compared to the same time last year; 37 per cent said business was going steady; and 20 per cent said business had actually grown over the last year. City economic development manager Danielle Myles said answers by participants on the question of what challenges their businesses were facing could shed some light on why many were shrinking. “Uncertain economic climate and competition were two of the top answers, along with staffing and cost increases,” Myles said. Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce executive director Erika Magnuson-Ford, who was one of the volunteers that helped conduct the survey, said conducting more surveys will then help in establishing ongoing issues. “Once we’ve done the business walk for a few years, it’ll be a lot easier to actually see what people are saying
