Contractors dig in at log yard

No quick fix for closed recycling depot

By aNNa KiLLeN

LogS DeSTiNeD for export and the machines used to sort them remained fenced in and unmov-ing at a local log yard going into the weekend, while the company that owns the logs faced pressure to sort out a dispute with one of its contractors.

The contractor, Bryco enter-prises, blocked the entrances to the Yaorun Wood yard with heavy equipment earlier this month to prevent Yaorun from moving any wood until the dispute was settled.

And to passersby, the blockade

appeared to look more permanent at the end of last week, with the addition of a chain and lock at one entrance and at least half a dozen heavy equipment machines lined up facing out towards Keith Ave.

Yaorun leased the property from the city in February for 10 years. it once served as the log yard for Skeena Cellulose.

The Chinese-owned company owns a number of timber sales in the northwest area, a parcel of land in New Hazelton, and has also done operations in Burns Lake.

Bryco was hired by Yaorun to clean and level the leased-site

which had become overgrown by young trees and all was going well until Yaorun declined to pay Bryco invoices.

in the meantime, city officials have confirmed that Yaorun is pay-ing an agreed upon lease rate of $10,000 a month to use the 20-acre parcel on Keith Ave.

“The city has a lease agreement for land with this company that has provisions in place should the is-sue of non-payment arise,” added Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski.

He did rule out any attempt at intervening to find a way to end the dispute.

“it’s not the city’s responsibil-ity to be a mediator in any business dispute,” he said.

“i’m hopeful that the compa-nies are able to continue operating their respective businesses at full capacity as soon as possible,” he said. “That would be the best sce-nario for our community.”

Meanwhile, a hand-made sign was put up earlier this week at the ebony’s Hidden Treasures store on Kalum Ave. warning contrac-tors entering into business with the company that late payment or no payment could be expected.

Long-time forestry contractor

Doug Suttis, who erected the sign in his wife’s storefront window after working for Yaorun since the summer, said Yaorun risks burning its bridges in the close-knit forest-ry sector.

“The area drastically needs these projects, but at the same time we don’t need people not paying,” he said, noting it causes a domino effect in the community when people aren’t paid. He says that while Yaorun eventually paid him enough money to pay his employ-ees, the company still owes him tens of thousands of dollars.

TeRRACe CiTY council didn’t come up with any immediate solution to losing a free recycling service at its March 25 meeting.

But it did resolve to implement a “comprehensive recycling strategy” that will include opportunities for public engagement after councillor Brian Downie put forth a motion to do “a recycling study for the city of Terrace and invite the citizens of Terrace to engage.”

Waste Management closed down its self-serve depot March 31, citing costs. The company did not charge for the service and was not getting any other financial assistance. The company offered the service for nearly a year, placing bins at its facilities here in Terrace.

Before that, the city had been operating its own service, a pilot project set up at the old Co-op prop-erty using two local companies, geier Waste and Do-Your-Part, until Waste Management said it would take on the task at no charge.

Several councillors also said they discussed the issue at recent conferences and committee meetings, and are searching for solutions to Terrace’s unique challenges being a smaller population far from recy-cling plants in the south.

Meanwhile, the city’s sustainability coordina-tor Tara irwin said that the B.C. government plans to table legislation next spring that will overhaul the province’s recycling system, implementing “extended producer responsibility (ePR)”, forcing companies to pay for recycling programs based on the amount of packaging they produce.

“This will incentivize industry to reduce their packaging,” said irwin.

■ Bus stopJASON LACROIX, who works for the Re-gional District of Kitimat-Stikine, with one of the four new bus shelters in Thornhill. Two new ones are on River Drive, one on Dobbie St. and one on Edlund Ave.

THE KITIMAT-STI-KINE Regional District spent close to $20,000 in its unsuccessful bid to have a German shepherd declared a dangerous an-imal and then destroyed.

The largest portion of that amount went to the regional district’s lawyer it hired to pres-ent its case in court.

Legal fees to pay for the regional district’s lawyer Troy De Souza plus his � ights, accom-modation, meals and any other expenses to-talled about $16,000, said regional district treasurer Verna Wickie.

De Souza is from Victoria and had to be � own in for the trial.

Cain spent nearly a year in jail after be-ing seized and until the court case was heard. In all, he was at the region-al district’s Thornhill animal shelter for 329 days – April 5, 2012 to Feb. 28, 2013 – and, at $8 per day, that cost the regional district $2,632.

On April 5 2012, Cain allegedly attacked three boys, tearing the pants of one, biting the arm of a second boy and knocking down and

standing on the back of a third boy in lower Thornhill, reported po-lice at that time.

The dog was seized and taken to the Ter-race animal shelter as it was a weekend and the Thornhill animal shel-ter wasn’t open, said police. He was taken to the Thornhill Shel-ter the following week. The case sparked wide-spread social media comment with support-ers of Cain in particular advocating that he be moved to the Kitimat shelter where they said living conditions were better pending a conclu-sion of the hearing.

Provincial court judge Brian Neal turned down the application to destroy the dog Feb. 28, saying the lawyer for the regional district had failed to prove its case, which took up four days of court time.

But that’s not the end of Cain’s story. After court � nished Feb. 28, owner Paul MacNeil said his understanding was that even though the bylaw says Thorn-hill residents may only have two dogs, that a

third dog is acceptable if the owner gets a ken-nel licence instead of individual dog licences.

However, accord-ing to Murray Daly, regional district bylaw enforcement of� cer,

MacNeil lives in the single family residen-tial zone (R1), which doesn’t allow kennels.

Regional district ani-mal control bylaw #13.1 says “no person shall keep three or more dogs

apparently over the age of four (4) months on any parcel unless ken-nel use is a permitted use of the parcel in ac-cordance with the Re-gional District’s Zoning Bylaw.”

Cain case cost $20,000

AN agreement between Telus and the provincial government could mean heightened safety along Highway 16.

According to Telus spokesman Shawn Hall, currently 60 per cent of 911 calls come by cell-phone, so having ser-vice along the highway could reduce all sorts of risk.

“I can appreciate the specific concerns of northern communities,” said Hall. “Whether you are talking about High-way 16 or Highway 4 or Highway 1 there are important public safety reasons for coverage.”

The plan to install new wireless towers along Highway 16 is part of a 10-year tele-communication con-tract between Telus and the province aiming to provide roadside cover-age along 1,700 kilome-tres of highway in B.C.

Achieving continual coverage between Ter-race and Prince Rupert is a bit of a long shot.

“Like many corri-dors it presents a chal-lenge,” Hall said of the Skeena River valley. “Wireless sites are low power, 50 or 60 watts ... They have to be close

to where you want the coverage. The signal doesn’t turn corners.”

To get continuous coverage along the 190 kilometre stretch between Terrace and Prince Rupert would require sites every 10 to 20 kilometres or so, Hall said, and would also mean putting in new power lines and fi-bre optic cable.

The cost of this tele-communications project is still undetermined, but each tower costs between $500,000 and one million dollars.

Hall said Telus is speaking with regional

districts in areas which currently have shod-dy coverage, such as Thornhill outside of Terrace and Telkwa east of Smithers.

Hall said Telus is “fairly close” to final-izing the locations of sites in Thornhill and Telkwa, and expanding coverage in the Port Ed-ward area.

“We are in the pro-cess of identifying ap-propriate sites now and looking at where we might best get in. From there we have to do the proper environ-mental and archaeologi-cal studies and get our

permits in place and go from there,” Hall said.

Hall sees increased coverage as something that is transforming the north, drawing in a sector of workers who might normally be re-stricted to urban areas.

“Someone could move up and work as a graphic designer in their home in a rural area,” Hall suggested. “It also provides better access to health care services, educational services.”

Telus’s agreement with the province in-cludes expanding fibre optic connections to 450 schools.

Blue skies at airport

Josh massey PhoTo

Huge Airport machinery was on display last thursday in celebration of the Northwest regional Airport Society’s 15th Anniversary.

ON A cloudless day representatives from the provincial, federal and regional governments gathered at the Terrace airport to celebrate the Terrace-Kitimat airport society’s 15th year.

Planes kept touch-ing down throughout the meeting and tour on March 28, the celebra-tion of recent success marked by a sense of urgency, as airport man-ager Carman Hendry said that upgrades to the aprons and access will be necessary if all of the major mining and LNG projects get approved in the area.

Despite growing de-mand, not all funding applications have been accepted, said Hendry.

Companies have been slow to let the air-port know if their proj-ects are going through, and need to provide “solid information,” said Hendry.

Shell, for instance, keeps telling them their workers will be coming in droves, but can’t sup-ply solid numbers, said airport society president

Ron Burnett.“We’re not going to

build all this stuff just to be left with it at the end of the bubble,” said Hendry.

This surge in passengers , driven by the expansion of major northern projects like the Rio Tinto Alcan smelter upgrade in Kiti-mat, Red Chris mine, the Northwest Trans-mission Line and others are driving traffic up.

In February 2010 the airport sold $800,000 in ticket sales. Com-pare that to $2.4 million this February and the growth is obvious, said Hendry.

The airport is run by a not-for-profit society, and judging by the sta-tistics thrown around during the meeting and tour, the board has been successful at improving the airport’s reputation.

It used to be the Terrace-Kitimat airport shared the dubious dis-tinction of being the county’s most difficult airport to land in, along with Castlegar.

In 2001 Terrace

turned away 221 flights. In 2012 that number was reduced to 23.

Installation of new land-sky navigation technology has gone a long way toward bring-ing that number down, said Hendry.

Recent additions to the airport include new bathrooms and a fourth airplane stand, said Hendry.

Hawkair manager

Rod Howard under-lined the importance of the airport to the local economy, saying he cuts cheques for $180,000 to employees living in the district.

Burnett said one ad-dition the society hopes to see in the future is a Canadian border ser-vice so international visitors can fly straight in, which would pro-mote tourism.


Only the memories remain of what was, in the early ‘80s, a bustling school in the booming resource town of Kitsault

By ANNA KILLEN

If you live in Terrace, you’ve heard of Kitsault – especially lately with the provincial government giving the ap-proval, providing strict conditions are

followed, to develop an open pit molybde-num mine near the location of the mining ghost town.

And just last month, Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski took a job with the company now owning Kitsault, helping promote the potential for the town to act as a hub for the lique� ed natural gas industry.

But although abandoned, there are still memories of the town when it served as the home for miners and their families when a molybdenum mine brie� y operated there more than 30 years ago.

Hopes were high in 1980/1981 when Amax opened the mine. But when the mar-ket for molybdenum crashed, so did the rea-son for the mine and the town, resulting in a � ight of people leaving for other places.

The townsite has been meticulously well-kept – manicured lawns, a maintained � re truck, running water – over the years when it was on the sales market.

Purchased in 2005 by millionaire Krish-nan Suthanthiran, the maintenance has been kept up and improved.

Suthanthiran has steadfastly refused to allow the town to become overgrown and rundown – nor leave the public discourse for long. His dreams for the town have been nothing short of newsworthy – a resort for single mothers, a haven for medical research. Most recently he’s announced he believes it to be the perfect LNG hub, and there’s at least one truck marked with the Kitsault En-ergy insignia riding through Terrace.

But as intriguing as the town is right now, and could be in the future, it’s the town’s past that gives it its depth. When looking at images of the town in its prime, the sense of community shared by its inhabitants is palpable – this wasn’t any old remote work camp, � lled with men counting the days un-til their off-time, this was a bona � de com-munity, facilitating lifelong friendships.

And at the heart of that community dur-ing its � nal years was its school, Kitsault Elementary Secondary, home to the Sil-ver Eagles. About 85 students attended the school, which taught K-10 and had all of the amenities of a regular high school – a shop, science lab, kitchen and proper gymnasium.

The school had been shipped up to the site in pre-assembled pieces by the Terrace School District as the town began to � ll and one portion of the school was the four-room elementary school from the last time the Kit-sault mine had been in operation in the ‘60s.

“I called it my Lego school,” said the school’s former principal, Sue Olson. She spent her � rst year in Kitsault as a teacher,

then became principal in ‘81. At 31, she was the oldest member on staff.

In a word, the teachers, parents, and kids of Kitsault were “wonderful”, said Olson with a smile that could be heard shining through the line from her home in Terrace.

“It was a wonderful experience for me. I would have loved to have stayed for the full 26 years [of my teaching career],” she said.

The teachers were a close-knit group, living in accommodations provided by the mine and spending holidays together eating turkey, often cooked by Olson.

“I’d cook two Thanksgiving turkeys at Labour Day so new teachers getting into the swing of things didn’t have to worry about eating for the � rst week,” she said.

The � rst year was in � ux – the school building wasn’t quite complete, so construc-tion workers were on site, and junior high students attended classes in halls and cloak-rooms using invisible typewriters to practise their typing skills – but spirits stayed high.

“The kids were just such good sports about it all,” she said.

But the community experienced its � rst tragedy that year, too, when one of the young workers was involved in a fatal car accident.

“That just shocked everybody,” she said. “He was in the school all of the time, it was just so sad.”

The experience brought the community closer – they sent sympathy cards to the

man’s family and grieved together.And while the residents waited for other

town amenities, like the rec centre, to be � n-ished, the school became the town’s focal point with dances and events every week.

“It became in many ways a community school,” she said, adding that the school’s shop teacher would open the shop to the public a few nights a week.

“I think it meant the world to the people there because otherwise their kids would have had to go out,” said Olson. When the mine was open in the ‘60s, all secondary stu-dents boarded in Terrace.

And while the parents relied on the school, the school also relied on the parents.

“If someone was having trouble in a class, I’d phone the parents and say ‘Hey, can I please send him home to you for the day and will you give him a chore to do that he’s not particularly happy about so that he wants to come to school tomorrow and be-have?’,” she said. “It worked.”

But all of this work came grinding to a halt one summer day in ‘83.

“I’ll never forget it,” she said, voice drop-ping. “My husband and I were just getting ready to go away for holidays for the sum-mer, I had gotten the school fully ready for the next September, the textbooks were all in and on the kids’ desks... And they closed the mine.”

The miners hadn’t been working the year

before, but until that day they were hopeful work would start up again.

“Our house was full of men crying. It was the most godawful day because the commu-nity was not a municipality. We belonged to the mine. So if the mine shut, you lost your job and your home,” she said.

The workers and families were given un-til the end of October to vacate the site, and if they weren’t gone, the company would move them as far as Terrace.

Years later, Skip Bergsma, who was as-sistant superintendent for the district dur-ing the Kitsault years, likes to joke that they could have held the opening ceremony and the closing ceremony for the school at the same time, because by the time the school was complete, there were already rumblings of the mine’s closure.

But in ‘83, the district still held out hope that the mine would reopen fairly soon and the school would go back to being in use.

“I remember talking to the mine manager at that time and he told me that he had three � are pistols – it was just a joke – one colour designated that the mine was going to open in a month, the other was a week, and the third one was it reopened yesterday,” he said. “But it never happened.”

Bergsma travelled to the site two or three times over the next decade with a mainte-nance crew, slowly shipping out textbooks, chalkboards, equipment, and expendables and distributing them throughout the district.

“It was a little bit eerie all right,” he said, of the empty property. “And sad. Kitsault was a really nice community. They did a good job in terms of building that commu-nity up so it’s a shame that it had to end so quickly.” It snowed on his last trip in and he remembers seeing trees growing on top of the roof of the school, and water pouring into the building.

And now all that’s left of the school at the Kitsault townsite is its foundation. Even-tually, the building was shipped to an out� t in Kamloops, and then probably to another district as pieces, said Barry Piersdorff, who was secretary treasurer for the school district from 1986-2000.

But even though the physical building is gone, the people of Kitsault stay connected to their memories online through the Face-book group, Kitsault Remembered, which boasts photos of the town in its past and present state. Sue Olson says the � rst thing she noticed when she logged on were the full-grown trees in the recent photos.

“When we were there, they were plant-ed saplings,” she said. “They weren’t trees when we were there, they were just sticks out of the ground.”

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS

THIS IMAGE of Kitsault students was used in newspaper articles and messages from the town’s employer, Amax of Canada, in the school’s yearbooks.

In recent literature about the town, the school tends to only receive a passing mention – perhaps because it’s building no longer lives on the site. The school, once home to doz-ens of students and staff members, is now the home of XX in Stewart, hav-ing been barged down and purchased by the Seventh Day Adventist Church after the majority of residents left in XX and the school district needed to recoup some of its losses – the district unexpectedly had to provide Kitsault with a school in XX after a certain amount of students were there, and took a hit � nancially in the interm.

But even though the building is gone, one can get a sense of what school life was like by purusing the school’s yearbooks – made available through Heritage Park Museum – and by talking to the people who were a part of it.

GOVERNMENTS can always � nd money for things they want to do. The trick is to combine that with things people want them to do and it’s a bonus when what the people want doesn’t cost a government (translated - taxpayers) any money.

Such was the case last spring when Waste Management popped up to offer a free recycling service, thus relieving the City of Terrace of the need to spend $50,000 it had already set aside in its 2012 budget to con-tinue its own pilot project service.

And now that Waste Management, citing costs, has closed its free depot, city council, which has spent a lot of political capital and money (eg. the purchase of BC Hydro’s decorated hybrid car) painting itself environ-mentally-friendly green, is stuck be-tween a rock and a dumpster.

So far council seems content to make tepid motions about involv-ing citizens in crafting some kind of other recycling plan.

Council may not realize it but it has already shown some leadership, readily accepted by citizens, by com-mitting money to its pilot project in 2011, by then placing money in its 2012 budget to continue that service and by then accepting Waste Man-agement’s own free offer.

This is not a rich local government and there would have been a huge sigh of relief when Waste Manage-ment made its offer last year.

But if council was ready to com-mit $50,000 in 2012, then it owes its citizens the same consideration now.

Have you ever won-dered what stores do with goods dissatis� ed cus-

tomers return for a refund? Not foods with expired best-before-dates, but purchases such as a tape recorder with control pedals snipped from a recycled sardine can lid or $3 scissors whose blades display more antipathy toward each other than cellmates of rival drug gangs.

Appliances, tools and other inedible products can probably be wiped clean of � ngerprints and other smudges, and repackaged for resale. Any inferior product that came in a bubble pack-age or protected by contoured styrofoam can be expected to return to the store with elec-trical cord dangling from one corner of its carton and ex-cess styrofoam taped to the lid.

Do these refunded pur-chases wind up in a back-room storage space where some minimum wage asso-ciate uniquely motivated by obsessive compulsive disor-der takes on the challenge of � tting everything neatly back into its original carton, each cord coiled into a three inch � gure-of-eight, twist-tied,

and each hunk of styrofoam cuddling a corresponding curve of the product?

I always feel sorry, even guilty, when I must return something that failed to per-form or live up to its billing, but I never realized the pos-sible full implications until I heard a TV ad for Octaspring mattresses.

Octaspring Mattress, a United Kingdom manufac-turer, advertises a money back guarantee for its expen-sive product: “60 night risk-free trial. We want you to have every possible chance to have that quality night’s sleep you deserve – that’s why we offer you a 60 night risk-free

trial. Sitting on a bed for � ve minutes in a shop doesn’t tell you very much about a mattress – the only true test is sleeping on it night af-ter night in your own home: And this is what we offer. No quibbles. No fuss.

“We promise if you aren’t getting the best night’s sleep you’ve ever experienced just tell us ....”

So, on the chance one of these � ne mattresses fails to satisfy, what happens to the mattress once it’s returned to the store? Is it cleaned, vacu-umed, steamed, fumigated and then re-packaged in a fresh plastic bag to be sold as new? What if there are smudges on it from improper handling by dirty � ngers? The company claims their mattresses are handled by white gloves, and that may be company policy, but what if the policy isn’t followed on every delivery?

Are less-than-pristine re-turned mattresses sent to a secondary outlet and sold as gently used?

To allow a mattress to go into someone’s home for any length of time, but par-ticularly 60 days, and then be brought back to the store for resale perturbs me given

the prevalence of bedbugs in even the cleanest, best estab-lishments today. Five star ho-tels, modest but clean motels, and hospitals battle periodic bedbug infestations despite rigorous extermination treat-ments. Even the stacks in the Vancouver Public Library harbour bedbugs but because the bloodsuckers don’t trans-mit disease, only an itch for reading, Vancouver Health isn’t too concerned about lit-erary bedbugs.

Without some reliable form of vigorous fumigation or steaming to kill any poten-tial bedbugs, a money back guarantee looks to me like a recipe for trouble.

Bedbugs can be hard to detect anywhere and mat-tresses, particularly their cir-cumferential bindings and zippers, provide a veritable Indy Speedway for these pests.

These mattresses are made from memory foam, not of itself a food source for bedbugs, except that’s where they hide, “snif� ng for the sweet stream of your exhaled carbon dioxide and for your warm skin to grow still,” reports Dr. Johnathan M. Sheele from the Eastern Virginia Medical School.

Getting a good night’s sleep

The Mail Bag

Conjuring the name “Orwell,” whose 1984 World State featured brutality, manipulation

of information, and propaganda, seems over the top and fear-mon-gering, especially as we’ve grown up in the shadow of the “land of the free, home of the brave” (only in a country we smugly thought was even better). We need to re-visit those assumptions.

Truth is always provisional, that is, as fallible humans we can never be absolutely sure of our knowledge. We count on reliable information to make the best de-cisions we can. Further, we often rely on experts (e.g. doctors, law-yers, etc.) to assist us in determin-ing how to deal with the informa-tion we are given or discover.

If someone says, “The concen-tration of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen from about 275 parts per million over 200 years ago to nearly 400 ppm today, a rise of about 45 per cent,” we have data. The vast majority of climate sci-entists have made the meaning of this phenomenon quite clear.

How does information influ-

ence political liberty? For genera-tions, the beacon of liberty on the world horizon was that held by Liberty, the famous statue in New York harbour. It symbolized the ideal that people should be free, and trusted, to work to create an abundant society, one marked by broad availability of information and knowledge, and by political participation.

In the U.S., constitutional guarantees protect freedom of the press, basically to encourage political participation based on access to information, however biased reporting might be. Trust that the public can separate facts from fiction, propaganda and lies is made explicit.

Canadians defined our adher-ence to these basic ideas in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Under Section 2 of the Charter, Canadians “are guaranteed free-dom of thought, belief and ex-pression.” The Charter also pro-tects “the right of the press and other media to speak out.”

Despite these duly constituted guarantees, the so-called Harper government has abridged and

in some cases, eliminated these rights and freedoms. Since his original election as prime min-ister in 2006, Stephen Harper’s administration has adopted insti-tutional procedures to prevent Ca-nadians from gaining access to in-formation that might influence us to disagree with, and ultimately (through electoral means) disown, his policies.

Environment Canada scien-tists have been forbidden to speak

with the press about controversial issues such as climate change without having their messages vetted or “massaged” by officials from media relations headquar-ters, a comparatively new branch of Environment Canada. Get this straight. Despite constitutionally guaranteed rights to the contrary, scientists we pay for informa-tion have been forbidden to speak publicly without permission!

According to a report by de-mocracywatch.ca, for issues re-lated to climate change, wildlife, water quality and supply, or pro-tection of species, media relations sends media requests for scientist interviews to the Privy Council Office for approval. Thus, mem-bers of the federal cabinet or per-haps even the Prime Minister will decide whether or not an expert public employee and Canadian citizen may speak, or what he or she might say.

Government scientist David Tarasick was prohibited from speaking on his research regard-ing an atmospheric ozone hole in Canada’s arctic. Instead, me-dia relations advisors crafted re-

sponses for him.Scientist David Schindler,

whose research discovered toxic pollutants from the tar sands con-taminating the Athabasca Valley, received scripted answers from the office of Environment Minis-ter Peter Kent.

In B.C., scientist Kristi Miller was forbidden to address the me-dia regarding her findings leading to testimony at the Cohen Com-mission regarding the collapse of Fraser River salmon.

A professor at Dalhousie Uni-versity characterized current con-ditions in Canada this way: “We have somehow deemed it…per-missible for an Iron Curtain to be drawn across the communication of science in this country.”

A government that arbitrarily limits freedom of speech and in-formation does not deserve our confidence. Despite our consti-tutional rights and freedoms, our Prime Minister appears to prefer Orwell’s World State motto from 1984: Ignorance is Strength—our ignorance, his strength.

AL LEHMANN

Dear Sir:Talk to the part-time

and full-time paramed-ics in your community and ask them about their EMS professional duties, what it consists of being on-call day or night for the BC Ambu-lance Service (BCAS).

And please then

ask them what it’s like working in the remote, urban and rural com-munities while trying to survive off of wages offered to them as part-time paramedics on standby at their BCAS station or carrying their pager on-call.

We need to show our

respect and appreciation for the dedicated servic-es they provide in our communities and the ongoing training that is required to keep their license as emergency medical professionals. The part-time and full-time paramedics are just as important as having

the firemen and police-men on station standbys for emergency response and therefore, they de-serve the same benefits and wages.

If the stations in re-mote communities can-not staff ambulance shifts and BCAS sends in part-time paramed-

ics with full wages and benefits to cover those stations, why can’t they pay fair full wages to the part-time paramed-ics who work in their own communities on station standby and on-call with a pager?

Dear Sir:As a follow-up to Mr. Brad North’s justifiable

faith in qualified professionals, there are some factors regarding the proposed regional landfill at Forceman Ridge that may not be widely known.

April, 2002: The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine applied for an operating permit and land and an accompanying package mentioned Onion Lake and Lakelse Lake as major surface water bod-ies, adding that inferred groundwater flow direction was away from both.

January 2006: Project summary said that the ex-isting landfills were having minimal, if any, impact on the Kitsumkalum River and Thornhill Creek.

September 2007: Report suggested that the groundwater flow was likely headed directly to Clearwater Lakes.

August 2008: A branch of Ministry of Environ-ment called the aquifer under the site a valued re-source and suggested 12 months water monitoring as a condition of an operating permit. Strangely, the MoE issued the permit within three months.

May 2009: an independent hydrologist review said placing monitoring wells needs luck and added that if groundwater is polluted, it would be very ex-pensive to cleanup, correct the source and deal with the environmental consequences.

December 2009: from two added wells, the flow to Clearwater was confirmed.

June 2011: A regional district hydrologist said that a defect in the liner at start-up could not be detected in less than two years.

September 2011: Average discharge to ground from the site will be a quarter million litres per day.

Few would argue that the landfill isn’t a world class design, but the site can hardly be classed as anything other than extremely unwise if you’re not willing to carry out a risk analysis or figure out the remediation costs of a liner defect.

Smile, it’S oral health month

(NC)—Did you know that an estimated 57% of kids aged 6 to 11 years-old have cavities? That number increases to 59% for teens, but with good oral care, specialists tell us that all children can grow up cavity-free. The habits you help them develop now will last a lifetime, so take a look at these helpful tips:12-24 Months: Begin regular dental visits by age one. Teach a toddler about dental hygiene when the first teeth come through. Children should get used to holding a toothbrush and should watch others as they brush. Let them practice brushing, but continue brushing their teeth for them. Begin flossing when most of the baby teeth are in.

2-5 Years: Teach young children to use no more than a pea-size amount of toothpaste and make sure they do not eat it. Continue to brush and floss their teeth for them. Avoid sugary sweet treats.6+ Years: Encourage children to begin flossing. Your dental hygienist will demonstrate proper technique. Continue to supervise brushing and flossing. The surface of your child’s permanent molars may be sealed with a light coating to prevent cavities in the deep fissure and grooves of the teeth. Keep a record of any accidents or falls that could affect the placement or condition of permanent teeth.

(NC)—We don’t usually associate cavities or gum disease with infants but in fact, oral diseases begin very early. For example, early childhood caries (cavities) is a form of severe tooth decay in the primary (baby) teeth of children from birth to age 3, and it affects more than 10 per cent of preschool-aged children in Canada. Baby’s first teeth are crucial to healthy adult teeth, and early childhood cavities can lead to much bigger oral health issues later in life.

More tips and information about oral health care is available online at www.cdha.ca.

Reduce the Risk and follow these simple caRe tips with youR little one:

• Be a good role model. Keep your own teeth and gums healthy.

• Wipe baby’s mouth and gums with a clean, wet cloth or piece of gauze after feeding.

• Gently clean newly erupted teeth with a small, soft toothbrush.

• Avoid fruit punches and other sweetened drinks in baby bottles, especially before bed.

• Reduce the frequency of nighttime feedings.

• Use only pacifiers with an orthodontic design, and don’t dip it in sugary substances.

• Avoid transfer of your saliva onto items used by baby, including bottles, cups, pacifiers. Bacteria spreads.

• Rinse baby’s mouth with clear water immediately after any liquid medication is given.

• Check for early warning signs by lifting up baby’s top lip. White, chalky teeth or brown or black stained teeth indicate a problem. Contact your dental professional immediately.

• Gradually introduce fresh fruits and vegetables to the diet. These foods, which require chewing, stimulate saliva flow and help to neutralize acids.

• Begin regular dental visits by age one.

Why doesn’t Kiti-mat have a separate ambulance station so the female paramedics living there can work in the BCAS in their own community?

If the part-time para-medics are required to come in and be at the station ready to respond to emergencies night and day just as the po-licemen and firemen, then they deserve full wages.

If the paramedics are carrying a pager on-call

for schedule shifts, they should be getting paid minimum wages at the very least for being on pager and ready to re-spond to emergencies.

This to me would seem more equal to the other employed pro-fessionals on station standby or on-call on a pager ready to respond to duties.

Currently, I think the wage of the part-time paramedic on standby at the station and the para-medic ready to respond

to their pager at home is insulting considering that they are required to have the same train-ing and skills as the full-time highly trained EMS professionals.

I wonder if nurses, doctors and/or other health/public safety personnel get their wag-es cut for being on-call as a part -time or casual.

If the part-time para-medics all stood togeth-er and stopped working for a single day, you would see the essential

service that they truly are in our communities across B.C.

Who would respond and transfer our injured, sick or dying loved ones?

Someone needs to step up to the plate and make the neces-sary changes by calling MLAs, municipalities and governments for more funds to keep the part-time and full-time paramedics employed fairly and to employ more part-time and

full-time paramedics to ensure that remote and rural communities don’t go without the neces-sary emergency medical services needed.

We, as families and friends of the paramed-ics and as communities, need to talk the MLA and BCAS in your area.

Find out how to sup-port and keep our para-medics employed suf-ficiently for their high quality emergency med-ical services needed so they aren’t forced to go

work elsewhere. I see posters of the

BCAS vision, mission and values to be a world leader and provide the emergency medical ser-vice needed.

Let’s help support them to achieve and improve this in the re-mote, urban and rural areas.

Signs not answerfor bad behaviour

Dear Sir:Regarding the incident that occurred on March

6th at the Terrace pool (“Offensive behaviour signs to be posted,” The Terrace Standard, March 27, 2013), I don’t know which is worse, the youths that committed this act, or the adults that responded to it. I’m sorry but you don’t need public signs posted that state that offensive or racist behaviour is intol-erable, or have a bylaw officer to enforce it.

What a waste of time and money. The minute this poor woman complained to city employees, these kids should have been told to leave, told to never come back until they smarten up (hey, maybe even apologize), and their parents notified.

These same employees then should have assured this poor woman that this kind of behaviour was not tolerated.

As for city staff losing their awareness of this kind of policy – this defies any kind of common sense (or plain civility) to anyone with enough backbone to stand up to a couple of bratty teenage boys.

I’m sorry to say these things, but to actually have to post signs and have a bylaw officer enforce proper behaviour at a public institution, just shows the level of absolute stupidity of our city council.

Don’t the city bylaw officers and the Mounties have better things to do with their time?

When I was a teenager and the figures of author-ity were this weak, me and every other kid would have been laughing our butts off. That is before my parents would have booted mine to the moon.

Dear Sir:The Northwest Com-

munity College long house makes a swell symbolic back-drop for a politician’s pitch for Joe Oliver, our natural resources minister, to share the boss’s vision for Canada in the 21st Century.

And the First Na-tions’ assigned place within it.

Whatever. It’s just another offensive in Harper’s crusade to liberate as much CO2 as quickly as possible from the Tar Pits of Al-berta.

This time out, he’s “enhancing engage-ment with aboriginal peoples in the develop-ment of energy infra-structure.” Translation:

a concentrated blitz by the feds’ chief compre-hensive claims negotia-tor, meeting with recal-citrant bands along the Gateway freeway, to be completed by the end of November then handed directly to Harper. No pressure here, boys.

Poor old Joe. He looks squarely into the cameras, like Bambi caught in the high-beams.

He’s literally turn-ing his back on a cam-pus-full of our best and brightest – the kids with the hearts and the brains to figure out how to ex-tricate us from the ‘en-ergy’ mess we’ve gotten ourselves into.

He’s smiling at us, all the while consign-ing the kids to a future of hewing wood and drawing water under an increasingly soiled sky. Welcome to the Con-

servative conspiracy’s brave new world, kid-dies.

Ah, Joe. Go back to Ottawa. Go gas your

own planet, if you must.Just leave ours alone,

please and thank you.John How,

Terrace, B.C.

By contrast, the natu-ral clay lined sites of the Terrace and Thornhill landfills allow leach-ate to be accurately and easily assessed.

So, if it’s not about the design or the in-tegrity of the design-ers, what exactly is the problem?

Could it be that the public was given no chance for 14 years to understand or ques-tion why waste from 20,000 people should be trucked to a recre-ational gem like the On-ion Lake area?

A state of the art proposal should not be afraid of a state of the art review.

“In this case what’s new, and we don’t want to discourage in-vestment, is that quite a bit of the investment is coming from Asia. You can’t go online and look up a history of the company like it’s a B.C.-based company. When it’s a company from far away there’s no way to check as to the legiti-macy of that business,” he said. “Those are difficulties that hap-pen when you have a company that’s coming from a country like China that doesn’t have the same sort of transparency that we ex-pect here in British Columbia.”

But Austin is hopeful the new Woodworkers Lien Act, which was passed in the spring and comes into law April 1, will help protect contractors.

“Now when a subcontractor is not being paid, they will have the right to go and put a lien on the wood they’ve removed from the forest prior to it going off and generating money for the bigger companies up stream,” he said,

noting that if the situation does not improve the government of the day will have to meet with smaller companies to see what else can be done by way of more regulations and resources.

As for the logs barricaded in by Bryco equipment, a forest service spokesperson confirmed forestry staff recently did an in-spection of the Yaorun Wood site.

“Yaorun had not yet com-pleted its paperwork,” said the spokesperson of its plans to ex-port wood.

“Ministry staff educated Yao-run Wood staff about the neces-sary paperwork they would need to complete before they could export their logs, which includes making sure the correct timber marks are noted. Apparently the company has hired a local log broker to help them with this.”

Before entering into its lease agreement with the city, Yaorun stored logs at Skeena Sawmills.

“[Yaorun’s] logs did come to our yard with the intentions of processing through our mill, then eventually they made a de-cision that they didn’t want to go through with that and took the logs out,” said Skeena Saw-mills’ Ian Sandhu. “We wanted to process at what was a super good deal for us and for them, and more for the city, to be very

honest, because having more logs for the city means we could continue processing and adding more jobs.”

Skeena Sawmills’ is con-cerned local reaction to the dispute is painting all foreign-owned companies with the same brush.

“Our owner is committed to running the company to the highest Canadian standards, and that’s what he does,” he said, of the company’s owner, Teddy Cui.

As for the company’s land in New Hazelton, in July of last year Yaorun asked city council there for a letter of support in order to purchase the crown land surrounding the site.

“It was our understanding the land was to allow for the devel-opment of the site into a larger canting and chipping mill,” said Donny Van Dyk, chief admin-istrator for the city of New Ha-zelton. “Council declined their request, but invited Yaorun to ap-pear before Council and present a more thorough plan. A member of their staff requested to present to council on February 4, 2013 and did not attend the scheduled council meeting. No reason was provided for the absence.”

Repeated phone calls to Yao-run Wood officials were not re-turned by press time.

“Hopefully by May 2014, most of the materials (i.e. plas-tics, paper, boxboard) that resi-dents were able to recycle at that depot will be included in the lat-est EPR program,” said Irwin.

The city’s “comprehensive recycling strategy” will be de-signed in synch with this coming legislation, and council suggest-ed that the new system might also mean fees for Terrace residents, or an alternate weekly pick-up schedule, meaning garbage one week, recycling the next, though

this will be discussed at further council meetings.

Until the provincial legisla-tion hopefully comes through next spring, Irwin is advocating landfill awareness, so people know what they should already be recycling. “Electronics com-panies and tire manufacturers already include recycling fees in their prices,” Irwin said. Tires, for example, are picked up from the dump under this system.

And up at the Terrace Land-fill, coordinators Fern and Denis

Baudette are informing people about current solid waste man-agement systems. So is Linda Hawkshaw, who was recently hired and is very pro-active, Ir-win said, about letting residents who visit the site know what can be recycled and handing out bro-chures also available online.

Irwin added that a future im-provement could be making a one-stop drop off for all the ma-terials on the brochure.

Council wants public input and creative solutions.

Brucejack Gold Mine ProjectPublic Comments Invited

As part of the strengthened and modernized Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012) put in place to support the government's Responsible Resource Development Initiative, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency has commenced a federal environmental assessment for the proposed Brucejack Gold Mine Project located in British Columbia on March 26, 2013. The Agency invites the public to comment on which aspects of the environment may be a�ected by this project and what should be examined during the environmental assessment.

The public can review and comment on the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Guidelines, a document that identi�es the potential environmental e�ects to be taken into consideration and the information and analysis that needs to be included in the proponent's EIS.

Pretium Resources Inc. is proposing the construction, operation and decommission-ing of a gold-silver underground mine located approximately 65 km north-northwest of Stewart, B.C. The proposed project would produce approximately 16 million tonnes of mineralized material at a rate of up to 2,700 tonnes per day over a minimum 16-year mine life.

Written comments must be submitted by April 25, 2013 to:

Brucejack Gold Mine Project Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency410-701 Georgia StreetVancouver BC V7Y 1C6Telephone: 604-666-2431 Fax: [email protected]

To view the draft EIS Guidelines or for more information, visit the Agency’s website at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca (registry reference number 80034). All comments received will be considered public. Copies of the draft EIS Guidelines are also available for viewing at the following locations:

Consistent with the transparency and public engagement elements of CEAA 2012, this is the second of four opportunities for Canadians to comment on this project. Following this comment period, the Agency will �nalize and issue the EIS Guidelines to the proponent. An application period for participant funding and a future public comment period related to the EIS will be announced later.

Projects subject to CEAA 2012 are assessed using a science-based approach. If the project is permitted to proceed to the next phase, it will continue to be subject to Canada’s strong environmental laws, rigorous enforcement and follow-up, and increased �nes.

On your marks

BC LIBERAL can-didate Carol Leclerc brought up a represen-tative from B.C.’s best known political family last week as the provin-cial election campaign began to take shape.

Brad Bennett, son of former Social Credit premier Bill Bennett and grandson of pre-mier W.A.C. Bennett, who forged the So-cial Credit party into a decades-long political powerhouse, accompa-nied Leclerc on several stops in Kitimat and in Terrace.

“There’s a great feel-ing,” said Bennett after a visit to Kitimat where Rio Tinto Alcan is re-placing its aging alumi-num smelter and where several LNG projects are slated to go ahead.

“The key is to get to the ‘yes’ and to get the best benefits deal for ev-erybody,” he said.

Part of ensuring benefits from large in-dustrial projects are

widespread is the recog-nition that First Nations must be involved, said Bennett.

“You have to nego-tiate impact benefits agreements. They have defined economic ben-efit aspects,” he added.

Bennett urged lo-cal governments in the northwest to work to-gether on region-wide benefits agreements.

“With everything that is going on here, there are vast opportu-nities to make things happen,” he said. “Our resources are now in great demand and there is a great opportunity for this province that can be seized.”

Although his father and grandfather were politicians, Bennett said he stayed out of politics until now.

“I care about what’s going on here and around the province and I’ve agreed to dedicate my time to the premier and the BC Liberal par-

ty right to the end of the campaign,” he said.

Bennett added that only premier Christy Clark and her govern-ment can bring the kind of leadership needed to capitalize on a growing resource sector.

“I’m just not con-vinced that an NDP government can get to ‘yes’ because of its special interests. You have environmentalists who oppose develop-ment and big labour

who want development. They can’t get to the ‘yes’.”

Bennett was also in Smithers where the BC Liberal candidate for the Stikine riding is for-mer Telkwa mayor Sha-ron Hartwell.

And he went to Prince Rupert to take in the nomination meet-ing for Judy Fraser who will represent the BC Liberals in the North Coast riding.

Bennett is a devel-oper in his hometown of Kelowna and sits on a number of boards, in-cluding BC Hydro and Kal Tire.

He is also the vice-chairman of the Fraser Institute and the chair of an organization called MITACS which com-bines private and public sector money to place graduate and post-doc-toral university students with businesses for real-world research and development opportuni-ties.

Familiar name visits

POLITICAL CANDI-DATES are opening their Terrace campaign offices around town in preparation for the up-coming provincial elec-tion.

Incumbent NDP Robin Austin, the MLA for Skeena, will have BC Conservative Mike Brousseau as a neigh-bour a few doors down in the Lazelle strip mall where both are opening new campaign head-quarters.

“It’s a bit odd to have another opponent so close but that’s a good part of our democracy ... close together or not makes no difference,” Austin said.

Brousseau is driving a donated (and fixed up) pick-up for his cam-paign, which will share the parking lot with Austin’s compact.

While Brousseau had supporter Lloyd Wittkowski coming by to drop off oranges one recent afternoon, Aus-tin emphasized that his supporters are typically of modest means, espe-cially compared to the BC Liberal party.

Brousseau has ben-efitted from whatever help he can in the com-munity.

Across town, B.C. Liberal candidate Carol Leclerc was accom-

panied by provincial justice minister Shirley Bond who was in the area on government business and who then made time to host the official opening of her campaign office March 25 in Terrace.

In her address to the gathered supporters, Bond highlighted the important work to be done in this area, noting the packed airspace on her way in.

“It’s great to have all this growth but we have to manage every-thing that comes with it,” Leclerc said to the group.

She’s been attending everything from meet-ings focused on wom-en’s rights to a comedy night in Kitimat, baking cookies as thank-you gifts to her volunteers, and going door-to-door.

Brousseau said he has spent the last week knocking on doors as well and working on a plan to build a residence on Little Ave. that will provide counselling and job coaching to give people “not a handout but a hand up.”

Austin was down in Victoria until a few weeks ago, attending the final sitting days of the legislature and says that he thinks it will be a tight race here.

Every Canadian of a certain age remembers the day the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska. It was a tragic day and one which marked a turning point for marine shipping along British Columbia’s coastline.

Following the Exxon spill, the marine shipping industry in Canada and worldwide began to rethink virtually every aspect of its business. It wasn’t easy. But it was absolutely necessary. And looking back 24 years later, the industry has taken great strides to ensure another catastrophic spill never happens again.

Nowhere is our progress more evident than in the way we are approaching the Northern Gateway Pipeline. The standards it will be built and operated to far exceed anything ever contemplated a generation ago.

Like similar facilities in Norway and Scotland, every tanker calling on Northern Gateway’s marine terminal will be double-hulled, and adhere to stringent standards. That means no tankers older than 20 years will be allowed to operate. It means every tanker must carry the most advanced navigational technology and be crewed by only the most highly

trained professionals. And it means that laden tankers will have two tugs escorting them, one tethered.

Our goal: to reduce the risk of a spill to as close to zero as possible. And if a spill does occur, our tug escorts will provide immediate fi rst response to minimize the impact on the environment while our full emergency response is quickly brought to bear. Our response program will greatly enhance safety for all marine traffi c on B.C.’s north coast.

We hope all Canadians recognize that the Exxon Valdez spill resulted in real and lasting change. For Canada’s oil marine shipping industry, the events of that day 24 years ago marked a moment of profound change. As a result, British Columbians can benefi t from the enormous economic opportunity our industry generates, while being confi dent that our environment is protected.

Tess Tessier in 2004.

IF YOU’VE lived in Terrace for very long, the name Grandma Tess will ring a bell and evoke an image of a woman in purple, most notably a purple hat.

If you’re of a certain age, it will remind you of being younger and seeing her at school entertaining students with her dogs. And motorists will remember Grandma Tess making her rounds on city streets in a large purple motorhome.

But March 25, Tess Brousseau, 87, also known by her maiden name and pen name as Tess Tessier, died from a stroke while visiting her daughter in Kaslo, B.C. She decided to make a living will when her daughter was up here recently.

“My mom was a wise woman. She had enough friends pass on and she was going to doctors and was fighting dizziness,” said son local roofer Mike Brousseau about why she made up the living will. “She said ‘I don’t want life support and if something does go wrong, let me go. I’ve had a good life. I’ve done what I’ve wanted to do.’”

Her purple hat was her trademark. “That was my mom. She loved purple. That was her colour. She always wanted to be eccentric,” said Brousseau.

When she would go to church, one member Brock Kozier, understood her, said Brousseau.

“He would put his arm out and she would take his arm and she’d be seated by him,” said Brousseau. “She always wanted to be noticed as someone with character.”

And her outspoken, passionate

nature took her many places in life. Tessier was born and raised in Hudson Bay Junction, Saskatchewan in 1925.

When she was older, she went up to Alaska and worked at Mount McKinley where she met her husband. Tessier was the cook and Clarence Brousseau supplied the meat to her; they fell in love. They married in 1946 and after four or five years, he wanted to move back home to Michigan but she said no. “So he got her fired,” said Brousseau.

The couple moved back to

Michigan and had seven children – six boys and one girl. He wanted to raise the children out in the bush and while touring this area, he found property in Rosswood selling for $2 an acre and bought 60 acres. The family moved to Rosswood in 1959.

In 1965, difficulties arose in their marriage because both Tessier and her husband had strong personalities and clashed.

She packed up all the children and moved to Terrace. Her husband tried to reconcile with her for about two years, but she had had enough and they divorced in 1967, said Brousseau.

She started working for the Terrace Herald, taking photographs and also started writing books – the White Spirit Bear Book and Iceberg Tea are two – and became very involved in the community.

Known as Grandma Tess to her grandchildren, she gradually became known by that name to others; she was also known as always having a dog or cat or two or three.

About 20 years ago, she was travelling around, writing her books and was in Grand Forks when her son Don died here.

She came up for the funeral and Mike asked her to stay and live with him and his family, giving her a chance to be close to her grandchildren, he said.

A Celebration of Life service for Grandma Tess will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. April 10 at the Terrace Pentecostal Church.

Lost Film Returns

The Lion of the Desert

The long-forgotten drama “A Darkening Shore”

lights up the screen It is a momentous day for fans of late legendary Ital-ian director Claudio Shirra, whose unreleased 1985 film “A Darkening Shore” is fi-nally seeing the light of day at this one-week-only run in New York and Los Sera-phes. Loosely based on the 19th-century Russian saga “Circles of the Black Sea,” by Anatoly Alvang, the three-hour epic stars Frank

Hrakc and then-newcomer Seraph Piet. The movie languished on the shelf after failing to find a distributor, but Shirra’s stepson, fledgling producer Juergen Antony, rescued it from oblivion, convincing the independent Concam-era Studios to release a new 35-mm print. “It’s an astounding piece of filmmaking,” said Ant-ony, who spoke from the Hollywood set of his lat-est project, a still-untitled

Marvin Rayke vehicle. “We dusted it off, made adjust-ments to the color, tweaked some of the edits and added a new score. Though the movie is rooted in history, the story feels fresh and timeless. I think [Shirra] would be happy with the final print.” The film is a sweeping tale of forbidden love be-tween the betrothed Princess Kira Ablomonov (Piet) and the older, married Duke of Kyrol (Hrakc), who meet

at the summer palace of the Tsar and begin a passion-ate affair that spans two decades. When a social-climbing member of the Im-perial Court (a deliciously conniving Franz Worler), discovers their infidel-ity — and the real identity of the princess’ son — he blackmails the lovers, forc-ing them to choose between Russian society and their true desires. In the experienced hands of Shirra everything he had.

The 290-year-old canine pageant embraces

the 21s t cen tu ry . This weekend when the primo Fido is crowned at the 290th Easthelmstead Dog Show, its sponsors hope to attract more enthusiasts with an app that explains all the

rules and follows every dog-gie drama over the course of the two-day event. “We have found that it’s not a mat-ter of not wanting to watch the show that keeps people away, but not being able to understand the rules or rec-ognize the breeds, that turns

viewers off. And we will do whatever it takes to keep this show going for another 290 years,” said Alexandria Peachtree, grand marshal of the event. “And, of course, there is all the intrigue go-ings on behind the scenes – and an app is perfect to get inside the heads of cham-pions and their handlers.” Easthelmstead organiz-ers have been beta-testing

the app since last year’s event and feel confident they have worked out all the kinks to deliver free, user-friendly features that work on all mo-bile devices. “My favorite is the ‘Bark of Champions’ tab, where the top contend-ers are identified only by their voices,” said Peachtree.

Teaching an App a New Trick at the Easthelmstead Dog Show

La Cienega Ballet’s “Gazelle” Marcus Driaman’s

p r o d u c t i o n makes the heart pound while it is being broken. The opening of “Gazelle” sees the fe-male cast — Gazelle at the center — on pa-rade in all their finery before the party where the star-crossed lovers will meet. By the end of the first act, Ga-zelle, having fallen for

an unavailable man, is in tatters. This pro-duction of “Gazelle” is also the first star per-formance by Annette McKeigh, the Cana-dian ballerina who joined the La Cienega Ballet Company last year with much fan-fare, having first been courted by several companies around the globe. The first act is filled with glorious color as Gazelle meets and falls for Ramon, played by Jonathon Pawle, in a perfor-mance that would be the talk of the town if it were not overshad-owed by McKeigh’s debut. They dance to-gether like a mixed drink: so fluid are their movements.

With big-name archi-tects, billionaire’s

new city is rising. Rising out of the flat, desert landscape, where there is little else to see but the occasional palm tree and swirling sand, is a city. A brand-new city. Like an oasis (or perhaps a mirage), as you draw nearer, this glittery cluster of buildings in the Central Asian nation of Tajikistan reveals itself to still be a construction site. Yes, there are people here, but they are all scur-rying around in hard-hats, unfurling blueprints, climb-ing atop heavy machinery, operating cranes.

What is there — five sparkling towers, rising 60 to 90 stories, and de-signed by the renowned architecture team Rode + Peralla — is impressive. The undulating façades of glass are done in multiple tones of blue glass, from palest sky-blue to a deep turquoise, calling to mind the rolling waves of an ocean. (A bit ironic, since the nearest body of water, Vakhsha Lake, is hundreds of miles away.) The city is named Wakhi, in honor of a local dialect, and it’s the singular vision of one man, Gorvo Dushanbe, billionaire owner

of the country’s largest alu-minum company. “This will be a world-class metropolis, one that will attract all sorts of thriving businesses and many, many wealthy resi-dents,” said Dushanbe, over a lunch of rare steak and mineral water at one of the city’s few open restaurants, a high-end bistro from star Belgian chef Pierre De Bwah. The towers, a mix of commercial and residen-tial, along with a five-star hotel topped with five floors of luxury con-dominiums, is meant to attract a whole new wealthy

class to the country. “Ta-jikistan has much to offer in terms of exports. We have hy-droelectric power, we have many metals, we have coal and natural gas,” explained Dushanbe. “And we do have

some very rich Tajiks.” Not enough, though, to support the thousands of luxury apartments planned for Wakhi. So Dushanbe has courted an affluent Middle Eastern, Russian and Indian business clientele.

Young fashion designer finds a new home

Fashion designer Patricia Meonni isn’t one to talk too much about her tech-nique. “I drape, I cut, I sew, and then repeat,” she said. “That is all.” What sounds simple is in fact a meticulous process that takes weeks – and sometimes even months to finish. “Yes,

I have worked on some dresses for nearly a year,” the petite, dark-haired Meonni admits. “But sometimes that is what it takes to make magic.” And magic is what she’s brought to her new line for Italian fashion house Dav-eni. The stunning 10-piece collection mixes dreamy pastels, intricate black lace and iridescent ruffles in a

truly bewitching way. Since its debut on the runway last week, the buzz has gotten even louder around th i s young t a l en t . “I consider line, color, proportion, of course,” said Meonni, 29, who has been in the business since she was a girl, assisting her mother in a dressmaker’s shop outside of Bari, Italy. “My mother was a talented

seamstress; she could see the customer, take one look at a dress and know exactly where to let it out, where to add a dart. But what she didn’t have was vision. That I learned on my own.” Meonni began sketching in her free time, and consid-ered entering fashion design school in Milan but de-cided instead to apprentice at the esteemed Roman

couturier, Sposia. With her excellent sewing skills, the teen was hired immedi-ately. Still, it took close to five years before her true talents were recognized. “I was hired initially to sew beads – tons and tons of beads on all sorts of glam-orous gowns – wedding gowns, especially,” she recalled. “It was dull, but it helped me understand.

Fashion’s New Talent

Music claims its own, ageless night, five

years in the making. Medea, with shimmer-ing silver locks filling in her once ink-black signa-ture bob, struck a defiant pose as she opened the fifth annual Abuelita Awards with a pitch-perfect a cap-pella rendition of “Shoot-ing Comet,” her usually electric rock anthem, as synonymous with Medea as her hair. Medea has not performed in public since she collapsed during the final notes of “Shoot-ing Comet” at the Golden

Medea Resurrects at the AbuelitasIn the Balance

Brilliant direction and a strong cast come

together for this op-era t ic mas terp iece . When we last ran into musical director Hans Blegmer at the Cosmopolitan Opera, he was busy preparing for the centennial cel-ebration of “Jutka,” the famous (and famously difficult) Alphred Verga opera that stretches nearly five-and-a-half hours. That was eight months ago, and now Blegmer is mounting another pro-duction of the Hungarian composer’s magnum opus at perhaps the world’s

greatest opera house, Venice’s L’Ascensore. Is he prepared for yet another grand undertaking of the opera, at a venue renowned for audiences showing their displea-sure rather vocally? “As long as I have the perfect soprano — one that has mastered the bel canto technique and these heavy vocal demands — then yes, I am ready,” said the 61-year-old Bleg-mer, a formidable pres-ence with a tall, husky physique and a head of thick, wavy gray hair. He has likely found his gifted singer in Diana

“This will be a world-class metropolis...”

Alvirsen, the Boston-born soprano whose flaming red hair is nearly as recogniz-

able as her vocal talents. While Alvirsen has never tackled such a strenuous role — up to now, her most challenging performance was in last year’s “Jean Ruillet” at the Weiner Neustadt Opera House.

“Indeed, the buzz around

the production has been good”

Timbre Awards in 2003. It was precisely that per-formance, and what Medea called the mistreatment by Golden Timbre program-mers of seasoned perform-ers, who have earned more respect (and might need a little more time getting to the stage), that inspired Hoit Swagger, lead singer of the Skipping Lizards, to give musicians over 50 their own awards night to shine. But it has taken five years of being relegated to Saturday after-noon telecasts and D-list presenters to attract Medea and headline performers.

The first act is filled with glorious color as Gazelle meets and falls for Ramon, played by Jonathon Pawle, in a perfor-mance that would be the talk of the town if it were not overshad-owed by McKeigh’s debut. They dance to-gether like a mixed drink: so fluid are their movements.


new city is rising.Rising out of the flat,

desert landscape, where there is little else to see but the occasional palm tree and swirling sand, is a city. A brand-new city. Like an oasis (or perhaps a mirage), as you draw nearer, this glittery cluster of buildings in the Central Asian nation of Tajikistan reveals itself to still be a construction site. Yes, there are people here, but they are all scur-rying around in hard-hats, unfurling blueprints, climb-ing atop heavy machinery, operating cranes.

What is there — five sparkling towers, rising 60 to 90 stories, and de-signed by the renowned architecture team Rode + Peralla — is impressive. The undulating façades of glass are done in multiple tones of blue glass, from palest sky-blue to a deep turquoise, calling to mind the rolling waves of an ocean. (A bit ironic, since the nearest body of water, Vakhsha Lake, is hundreds of miles away.)

The city is named Wakhi, in honor of a local dialect, and it’s the singular vision of one man, Gorvo Dushanbe, billionaire owner

of the country’s largest alu-minum company.

“This will be a world-class metropolis, one that will attract all sorts of thriving businesses and many, many wealthy resi-dents,” said Dushanbe, over a lunch of rare steak and mineral water at one of the city’s few open restaurants, a high-end bistro from star Belgian chef Pierre De Bwah.

The towers, a mix of commercial and residen-tial, along with a five-star hotel topped with five floors of luxury con-dominiums, is meant to attract a whole new wealthy


some very rich Tajiks.”Not enough, though, to

support the thousands of luxury apartments planned for Wakhi. So Dushanbe has courted an affluent Middle Eastern, Russian and Indian business clientele.


Fashion designer PatriciaMeonni isn’t one to talk toomuch about her tech-nique. “I drape, I cut, I sew, and then repeat,” she said. “That is all.”

What sounds simple is in fact a meticulous process that takes weeks – and sometimes even months to finish. “Yes,

I have worked on some dresses for nearly a year,” the petite, dark-haired Meonni admits. “But sometimes that is what it takes to make magic.”

And magic is what she’s brought to her new line for Italian fashion house Dav-eni. The stunning 10-piece collection mixes dreamy pastels, intricate black lace and iridescent ruffles in a

truly bewitching way. Since its debut on the runway last week, the buzz has gotten even louder around th i s young t a l en t .

“I consider line, color, proportion, of course,” said Meonni, 29, who has been in the business since she was a girl, assisting her mother in a dressmaker’s shop outside of Bari, Italy. “My mother was a talented

seamstress; she could see the customer, take one look at a dress and know exactly where to let it out, where to add a dart. But what she didn’t have was vision. That I learned on my own.”

Meonni began sketching in her free time, and consid-ered entering fashion design school in Milan but de-cided instead to apprentice at the esteemed Roman

couturier, Sposia. With her excellent sewing skills, the teen was hired immedi-ately. Still, it took close to five years before her true talents were recognized.

“I was hired initially to sew beads – tons and tons of beads on all sorts of glam-orous gowns – wedding gowns, especially,” she recalled. “It was dull, but it helped me understand.

Lost Film Returns



lights up the screen It is a momentous day for fans of late legendary Ital-ian director Claudio Shirra, whose unreleased 1985 film “A Darkening Shore” is fi-nally seeing the light of day at this one-week-only run in New York and Los Sera-phes. Loosely based on the 19th-century Russian saga “Circles of the Black Sea,” by Anatoly Alvang, the three-hour epic stars Frank

Hrakc and then-newcomer Seraph Piet. The movie languished on the shelf after failing to find a distributor, but Shirra’s stepson, fledgling producer Juergen Antony, rescued it from oblivion, convincing the independent Concam-era Studios to release a new 35-mm print. “It’s an astounding piece of filmmaking,” said Ant-ony, who spoke from the Hollywood set of his lat-est project, a still-untitled

Marvin Rayke vehicle. “We dusted it off, made adjust-ments to the color, tweaked some of the edits and added a new score. Though the movie is rooted in history, the story feels fresh and timeless. I think [Shirra] would be happy with the final print.” The film is a sweeping tale of forbidden love be-tween the betrothed Princess Kira Ablomonov (Piet) and the older, married Duke of Kyrol (Hrakc), who meet

at the summer palace of the Tsar and begin a passion-ate affair that spans two decades. When a social-climbing member of the Im-perial Court (a deliciously conniving Franz Worler), discovers their infidel-ity — and the real identity of the princess’ son — he blackmails the lovers, forc-ing them to choose between Russian society and their true desires. In the experienced hands of Shirra everything he had.

COMMUNITYMARGARET SPEIRS

(250)638-7283

By Diana Bateson

The KalUM Community School Society is launching its “Buck for a Truck” campaign to replace the old pickup truck that has been used for the various food programs op-erating in Terrace.

The old truck, which was do-nated to the society in 2002, has served the community well, pick-ing up and delivering food for programs such as the Good Food Box, Food Share, and hungry Kids Project.

In the spring, it is also used to deliver equipment to the school

and community gardens. This has led to it being referred to as the “community truck”.

however, the truck is now often needing repairs, costing the society money it can’t then use elsewhere and disrupting the operations of the food programs.

It has been decided that it is time to retire the old truck and find a more reliable vehicle.

an information table, with post-ers, brochures, and donation jars will be set up in Save On Foods on Saturday, april 6 to encourage people in the community to con-tribute a loonie toward buying a

newer vehicle.Donation jars, brochures, and

posters will also be placed in various participating businesses around town.

although most people in Ter-race have heard of the food pro-grams, many are not aware of the Kalum Community School Soci-ety, which is responsible for devel-oping these programs.

KCSS is a non-profit organiza-tion that has provided community programs for vulnerable children, youth, and families in Terrace, Thornhill, and six surrounding First Nations villages since 1997.

KCSS’s mission is to work with community partners within neigh-bourhood schools to enable suc-cess and belonging for all people.

The primary goal of the hungry Kids Project is to improve food se-curity for children in Terrace and surrounding areas. Terrace and the outlying communities have experi-enced higher than provincial aver-age unemployment levels, 10.3 per cent in October 2012.

These high unemployment levels have contributed to the rise in the number of people, including youth and children, using food banks.

In March 2012, a count done

of people using food banks that month illustrates the need – 721 adults and 558 children.

There is a link between nutri-tion and academic performance. It is hard to concentrate on school-work when you’re hungry.

KCSS addresses this problem serving more than 2,000 servings of food in schools weekly in Ter-race and Thornhill. In its efforts to respond to the emergency food needs, it receives significant dona-tions from local distributors, stores and farmers.

local queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal winners include, from left, Terrace Pipes and Drums members Jill MacKay, far left, and audrey Kerr, third from left; Freda Diesing school of northwest coast art senior advisor Dempsey Bob; and Joyce Gibson, Riverboat Days president. McKay and Kerr went to Victoria for the ceremony and to receive their medals from Premier christy clark, pictured with them.

Locals surprised to win medalsa NUMBeR of locals have been awarded Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medals, and the latest have won for their voluntary and com-munity services.

World renowned Tahltan/Tlingit artist Dempsey Bob is an instructor and senior ad-visor at the Freda Diesing School of North-west Coast art at Northwest Community College here.

he began carving in 1969 and was direct-ed to the Kitanmaax School of Northwest coast Indian art by Freda Diesing, who was his earliest mentor and teacher.

Bob went on to become a close friend of Freda’s and frequently worked with her.

his work is in the collections of such in-stitutions as the Canadian Museum of Civi-lization, UBC Museum of anthropology, the Columbia Museum of ethnology, the Smith-sonian Institution, national museum of en-thology in Japan, Canada house in london.

Joyce Gibson won her medal for her com-munity service involvement during her years here and it came as a surprise.

after working for the school district for 35 years, she wanted something to do when

she retired. She has been president of the Riverboat

Days committee for many years, and is in-volved in Relay for life on its leadership committee.

She works with the Terrace Community Foundation as its vice-chair.

and she just signed up for Volunteer Ter-race and has been doing volunteering at the happy Gang Centre.

“I like to be busy,” she said, adding it keeps her young.

Gibson has also been involved with the dragon boat society and Terrace snowmobile association.

audrey Kerr and Jill MacKay have been with the Terrace Pipes and Drums Society for more than 35 years and nearly 20 years, respectively.

Kerr was pipe major for three years from 1991 to 1994 while MacKay has been pipe major since 1994 and continuing with that role until this past September.

During that time, she was also giving individual lessons from beginner to experi-enced as a music teacher.

One of her students has become the new pipe major, she said.

She volunteered to shovel snow for se-niors as part of Volunteer Terrace, and still does it, although she and her husband do it on their own.

“I was absolutely surprised,” she said about being awarded the medal, which she says came as a result of pipes and drums member Murray hamer nominating her and Kerr.

“Something the premier said in her speech really rang true,” said MacKay.

“She said ‘I bet you not one of you out there feels like you deserve the medal.’ She goes ‘you do deserve it.’

“all I could think was the dozens of other people who deserve a medal and went un-nominated.

“That was my biggest feeling ‘there’s so many other people that deserve this and I was happy and proud to get it.”

MacKay shared the medal ceremony with her 85-year-old mother, picking her up in Vancouver and taking her to Victoria.

“She the one who drove me to all my les-

sons,” said MacKay, adding her mother was surprised and proud of her for receiving the medal.

MacKay started playing the pipes when she was a child after starting out as a high-land dancer.

The pipe band she belonged to played and won the highland games in scotland and in band when she reached the top stage, she was part of the first Canadian band to break the top five in the championships there, she said.

audrey Kerr says she felt very honoured to be selected.

She has been with the Terrace Pipes and Drums since she was 15 when she started playing the pipes.

She was pipe major, pipe sergeant and band manager and now her son is the pipe major, she said.

“It certainly was a surprise to get recog-nized for it. I’ve done it out of the love of playing and contributing and it brings a lot of joy to other people,” she said, adding her mom was there to see her receive her medal too.

THE NORTHWEST has three more heritage sites packed with history.

At its Feb. 14 meeting, the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine formally recognized the Dorreen General Store and Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Station, the Grand Trunk Pa-cific Roundhouse at Pacific and the Meanskinisht Ceme-tery as heritage sites by adding them to the community heri-tage registry for the regional district.

Director Dave Brockle-bank of Telegraph Creek and director for the city of Terrace Marylin Davies moved that the board accept the statements of significance for the three loca-tions. That brings the number of Regional District Commu-nity Heritage Sites to 11.

The others are Telegraph Creek townsite, the Yukon Telegraph Trail, Gunanoot Gravesite, Meziadin River Fish Ladders, Anyox Power-house, Hagwilget Bridge, Old Skeena Bridge and Butedale Cannery.

New heritage

sites registered

In 2012, more than 300 pounds of food a day was being recovered and distributed to those in need.

That’s 9,000 pounds of waste per month that would otherwise end up in our landfill!

KCSS has also developed some school community gardens, hoping to utilize and preserve produce for the school salad bars, breakfast and lunch programs. Canada is one of the few developed countries in the world without a national food program.

It is time for all levels of governments and community members to deal with this prob-

lem in a way that prevents hunger from hap-pening, increases community resources, and provides opportunities for those dealing with lack of food to become self-sufficient. Please support KCSS’s “Buck for a Truck” campaign and help with the effort to end hunger now! In addition to the table at Save On Foods April 6, larger donations can be made at the Northern Savings Credit Union in the name of the so-ciety or by going to the society’s website, at www.kcssterrace.com.

Cage fighting to take hold here

The TeRRace Peewee Reps fell just short of a medal at Tier 3 provincial championships in creston, falling 6-4 to arbutus in the bronze medal game.

Terrace beat arbutus 6-3 early on in the tourna-ment, but couldn't get past their goalie in the medal match. Shots on goal favoured Terrace 28-24.

Terrace opened the scoring in the first period at 14:38, adding another goal two minutes later. arbu-tus replied at 7:49 and the period ended with Terrace leading 2-1. But arbutus tied the game at 19:45 of the second period and Terrace answered near the end of the period to take a 3-2 lead into the final frame.

arbutus came out strong in the final period and scored two goals near the middle of the period to take the lead. Terrace pulled its goaltender in favour of an extra attacker but arbutus scored into the empty net to seal the victory.

The young Terrace Peewees had unexpected suc-cess this season and went undefeated at zones to win the northwest zone championships. The provincial title went to Dawson creek, who won gold in a dom-inating 14-1 final against Quesnel.

coacH aNd fight promoter Tony rutledge wants YoU to get into the cage.

FighT nighTS have happened in Terrace before – but none quite like the tournament taking place here on april 13.

Because this upcoming amateur fight night, cage Fighting Force One, means Ter-race sports fans get to lay eyes on “the cage” in our local arena – a professional-grade fight cage not unlike those used in big, tele-vised events, except this one's a hexagon, not an octagon. athletes from all over the northwest, some as far away as Vancouver and Fort St. John, and at least half of the card hailing from the Terrace-area will be grap-pling it out in front of a packed Sportsplex, complete with a weigh-in the night before, ring girls, and ringside seating.

it's the beginning of fight coach and pro-moter (we could actually refer to him as Ter-race's Don King) Tony Rutledge's plan to build up a hub of amateur fighters here in the northwest. he and his national fighting fed-eration, cage Fighting Force, are set to start hosting events all over the area – Terrace, Kitimat, Smithers, Rupert to start – eventu-ally moving to the national stage.

“We're hoping we'll be up to cage Fight-ing Force 100 by the next four or five years,” said Rutledge.

By hosting a big tournament every few months, they’ll be showcasing local athletes in both mixed-martial arts (MMa) and kick-boxing, while drawing more new athletes to those clubs. This means cage Fighting Force will have a bigger pool of athletes to draw from to showcase to the professional league.

“all and all, we're hoping that a UFc prospect comes out of the Terrace area,” he said. “a lot of people don't get the oppor-tunity to take this journey – promoters like myself, i'm the only one outside of Prince george, and i've got northern British co-lumbia pretty much to myself as an amateur promoter.”

and if these athletes don't get showcased, they won't get bigger opportunities.

“You can go to a thousand tournaments and be a great fighter, but if nobody knows

about you...,” he said. “now you can come onto one of our cards and thousands and thousands of people will see you and know about you and that's how you get recognized for the pro-league.”

Rutledge has been involved in the indus-try since the very beginning – two of his fighters were on the card at the first canadi-an-sanctioned event, way back in 1997 when they called the sport “shootboxing.”

Since then, it's easily grown into one of

canada's most-watched sports, and Rut-ledge's experience, as both a trainer and a promoter, has him confident he knows how to foster its growth in the area and get north-west athletes noticed across canada.

For fighters, solid training is key, he says. Sometimes difficult for athletes who also work full-time, physically demanding jobs – especially when you take into consideration the amount of rest time an athlete needs after a tournament.

and Terrace athletes will have a slight advantage going into these events simply because the cage that they'll be fighting in is right here, at Rutledge's dojo in Thornhill.

“i've got the only cage outside of – holy mackerel – probably Vancouver,” he said. “i use it all of the time. not everybody has a cage to train in – a lot of the athletes that come to these things have never been in a cage before, they train in a ring.”

But cage training isn't just for athletes looking to compete in front of a crowd – Rutledge also does one-on-one work outs for those serious about getting in shape.

“a lot of people are intimidated by the concept of working out in a cage,” he said. “But once you get in there, it's like being in your living room.”

he says from a self-defence standpoint, it makes sense to train in a cage because if you need to fend off an attacker, it will more often than not be in an enclosed space.

and Rutledge confronts the stigma that these fights are dangerous and masochistic head on – first, the event is all-ages without alcohol to encourage more women and kids.

he also wants to encourage females to try the sport, noting there is a solid group of female fighters he's been training from new aiyansh.

“There are a lot training, but not many fighting,” he said.

and he stresses they're serious about proper training for their fighters.

“We don't just take people off the streets, some of these guys have trained for up to two years before they decide to get into the cage,” he said. “We're actually doing the opposite – we're taking these troubled kids and bringing them off the streets and teach-ing them respect, discipline and then let-ting them showcase themselves through our cage and showing them the right way to do it – there's a right way and a wrong way of course.”

cage Fighting Force One is april 13 at the Terrace Sportsplex. Doors at 6 p.m.

We were approaching Prince George from the south. Our intention was to continue on, as always, to Vanderhoof, for

groceries, then to Fraser Lake, and from there to Francois Lake and the Stellako Lodge, where we customarily rent a cabin and watch trout rising in the river below us until there are so many rainbows breaking the surface that I’m compelled to slip into my waders, don my vest, and venture forth hoping to hook the largest of them.

Our daughter was working at the pool and Pizza Hut in Fort St. John that summer. As we cruised along the approach to PG, I sensed that Karen was getting restive.

We don’t have to drive straight through, I said. If you want, we can go North.

Before she said anything, her look made me realize this was our only course.

Soon we were winding through the Pine Pass toward Peace River country. I’d been in Fort St. John a decade earlier, at a time when the teachers there were on strike. The BCTF had flown me in to offer the troops moral support. My recollections were of a prairie town, a small, bucolic place that was as much Alberta as it was B.C.

Things had changed, the Patch had in-vaded the Prairie. The effect of short-term money – the difference between gold rush-es and oil booms being negligible – was palpable.

The old signs opposing the flooding

of the beautiful valley of the Peace were still standing

How beautiful, was it? we wondered. In an-swer to the question we were given directions to a viewpoint that would afford us a premium view of the gorgeous expanse. In those days before Google Earth, we followed the verbal directions to our best recollection and found ourselves at road’s end, on the brink of a great expanse where the land gave way, fell away, to a great cavernous view of a great gaping expanse, a geologically unique chunk of unrealestate that the pow-er mongers had for years been striving to turn into a massive reservoir. It would and should have been breathtaking. But, it was and it wasn’t – our attention distracted by the appliance graveyard at our feet.

Immediately below us, between us and the Peace, was an armada of derelict freez-ers, old stoves, fridges, washers, and a few rusted car cadavers. There probably wasn’t a more conspicuous locale for disposing of waste, but for some scofflaws, the lure of

pushing large appliances and used motor vehicles off precipices is simply too strong to resist.

The people around here are such pigs, was my gut thought, before I stopped myself short.

Clearly, the people that tossed this trash made up a small minori-ty of the area’s populace – or at least that’s the hope. And, how different was this from Terrace where I’ve seen refrig-erators and deep freezers thrown over the banks of the lower Copper River, burned car bodies beside the logging roads on all our river valleys?

When I hike along the Skeena below Braun’s Island, I find old cars buried in the river channel and broken chunks of pave-ment dumped over the bank in a feeble at-tempt at flood control. At Dutch Valley the banks of the Kalum are strewn with plas-tic chairs, old propane tanks, and chunks of concrete, all of it in the river’s riparian zone, an area that is part of the commons and protected by the Federal Fisheries Act because such real estate is almost always prime wildlife habitat.

Next to this mess is a field whose owner has built a storage facility that houses a hundred or so recreational units in spite of provincial laws protecting agricultural land from such development. Half a kilometre upstream of the RV barn a road running to the river is strewn with appliances, sofas, rusting bikes, and all kinds of non-degrad-able plastic detritus. All of this unsightly trash, makeshift rip-rap, and the unsightly storage facility is set in one of the most beautiful parts of the valley, which makes it even more disturbing.

I can’t understand why the regional dis-trict and the provincial authorities have al-lowed the building of the storage facility. The federal government and the Depart-ment of Fisheries needs to determine who is responsible for the makeshift diking and take appropriate action to have the area next to it cleaned up.

Meanwhile the illegal dumping could be thwarted by incentives to recycle. Scrap metal and parts are worth money. Fortunes have been made buying and selling the stuff.

People need to know where to take old appliances and know they will get paid something for them. This initiative could and should be backed by disincentives to dumping in the form of steep fines, and jail time if necessary.

Leaving such eyesores unattended to shames us all.

THREE TERRACE ringette players came home with gold from Ringette Division B Provincials in Surrey two weekends ago.

Rory Bird, Aimee Qualizza, and Kristen Tooms played for Prince George’s U18+ team and were a definitive force in the team’s gold medal win. And the three athletes weren’t the only players from Terrace to attend ringette pro-vincials – Jennifer Dahl, Peter Nicholson, and Hannah Resch played for Prince George U16.

The Terrace players joined Prince George teams because Terrace didn’t have enough play-ers to make up teams in those divisions – but rin-gette organizers are hoping that will change in the future as more young players, both girls and boys, get into the fast-growing sport.

And the Terrace players were a strong force on each team. In the U18+ division, Terrace play-ers scored more than half of the team’s goals throughout the entire tournament – 24 goals out of the total 42, with Rory Bird scoring 14 of those goals and assisting on six. And in the Under 16 division, Terrace players again scored over half of the goals – 15 goals out of the total 26, with Peter Nicholson scoring 10 and assisting on three.

Of the other Terrace players, Aimee Qualiz-za scored five goals and assisted on 12, Kristen Tooms scored five goals and assisted on seven, and Jennifer Dahl scored five and assisted on three. And while the U18+ went on to win gold, the U16 was not successful enough to make it into the medal finals.

Terrace’s ringette organizers are pushing for the northwest zone’s ringette squad to come out with a strong force for next year’s BC Winter Games.

“It’s not just a game for girls; it’s a game for anyone who enjoys a fast-paced competitive sport,” said organizer Erika Nicholson, noting it is a sport that breeds incredibly strong, fast skat-ers. “Tryouts will start in the fall for those born in 1999, 2000, or 2001. Terrace has some great athletes, why not give ringette a try.”

CITY COUNCIL gave a warm wel-come to Terrace’s Bantam Rep Girls – who can now be referred to as provin-cial hockey champs – at last Monday’s meeting at city hall.

The bright jerseys of the gold medal winning Terrace Kermodes lit up the council chambers as they received an ovation from members of council and accompanying fans.

The team returned recently from Vernon, and mayor David Pernarowski greeted them at the front of the cham-bers and congratulated them on their stunning victory at the BC Bantam A Championship held there.

“You act as ambassadors for the city. Bringing back gold draws attention to the city and we thank you for that,” Per-narowski said.

Coach Mario Desjardins gave a short speech about their progress over

the three years he has worked with the team, and recounted the thrilling finish to the 2-1 final game against the North Shore Avalanche on March 20.

“We came together not just as a team but as a family,” said Desjardins.

The team lost to North Shore ear-lier in the tournament, but studied their play over the week to eventually work out a plan to beat them – which the team executed perfectly, said Desjardins.
