Kitsumkalumhold crucialvote todayVOTING HAS started this morning as members of the Kit-sumkalum First Nation decide to accept or reject a land claims agreement in principle.
Acceptance of a package consisting of land, resources, money and self government provisions will lead to the start of formal negotiations for a final agreement for the Kitsum-kalum who number just over 700 people.
Of that population total, 569 people over the age of 18 are eligible to vote.
It’s a number Julie Nyce and the other members of the Kitsumkalum communications team have been carefully tracking since their work started in January 2012.
“There’s 173 voters on reserve [just west of Terrace], 77 in Terrace and 90 in the Lower Mainland,” Nyce said in reel-ing off larger locations where voters reside.
“And two in Oregon and three in Alaska.”The search for Kitsumkalum members and the develop-
ment of the voters’ list has involved mail, email and various forms of social media in the attempt to find everyone who is eligible to vote.
Once located and signed up, voters are sent information to inform them on the agreement in principle details so that their decision is as informed as possible.
That effort includes newsletters – 20 at last count, com-munity meetings, smaller coffee sessions and meetings in homes.
Team members have, for instance, travelled to Prince George and one, Joanne Bertsch, has had the task of inform-ing Kitsumkalum members in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island.
“What I’ve done is rent a conference room in a hotel and bring in the information we need,” she said.
Questions surrounding taxation, health care, housing and education are among the more common asked of the team.
“People in the city are used to paying taxes,” noted Bertsch. “For them, that’s not an issue. They already have an understanding.”
The issue of health care has also been important as people wonder how services might change under self government.
There’s also been discussion among voters about how housing within the Kitsumkalum village site will be allo-cated should a final treaty be negotiated.
Answering questions, providing information and build-ing up a voters list have fully occupied the communications team. Most of the members knew each other before taking on their respective positions and they’ve grown closer since.
“It’s the best thing for our community,” says Jennifer Bolton of the agreement in principle.
She and other team members do point out that the agree-ment in principle is not binding and that should it be ap-proved, negotiations toward a final agreement can mean changes to the provisions of the agreement in principle.
The land portion of the agreement in principle, 454 square miles, comes from the province and the cash portion, $44.2 million, from the federal government.
THe LATeST round of graffiti tagging in the Ter-race downtown core was the final straw for area busi-nesses who are now banding together to tackle the prob-lem of vandalism once and for all.
“This problem has cer-tainly gotten worse re-cently,” said Anna Beddie of the Terrace Downtown Improvement Area society (TDIA). “It is ugly and dis-respectful to our beautiful community.”
Over easter weekend, there was what appeared to be a “tagging war” that RCMP believe included as many as five vandals.
The reason for the on-slaught of graffiti over the last few weeks is said to be because spring is in the air, said Beddie. But before the seasons change, Terrace residents could see new ini-tiatives to curb vandals and keep the outside of Terrace buildings clean.
“It is a work in progress and so many people could be involved and are going to be involved,” said Beddie, not-ing the community is work-ing together on this initiative and other groups, like the Terrace Beautification So-ciety have been doing their part as well.
TDIA will be present-ing potential initiatives to the city, and city council will “give serious consid-eration to any suggestions put forward by the TDIA,” said Heather Avison, chief administrator for the City of Terrace, noting the city already has a policy to re-move graffiti on city-owned property.
Money for graffiti clean-up comes from either Lei-sure Services or building maintenance depending on where the graffiti occurs, she said.

Trades decisionwill have to wait

NORTHWEST COMMUNITY College automo-tive technician student Jocelyn Harris speaks with Premier Christy Clark during her tour of the college trades building April 4.
B.C. PREMIER Christy Clark says any discus-sion of a Northwest Community College proposal for $45 mil-lion to build a new trades training centre at its Terrace campus is going to have to wait until after the May 14 provincial election.
Clark was in Ter-race and Kitimat April 4, promoting various government jobs and training initiatives and doing some early elec-tion campaigning.
At a luncheon hosted by the Terrace and Dis-trict Chamber of Com-merce she told the audi-ence that the resource boom underway in the northwest “will be the start of the northern re-naissance.”
The college had re-quested $45 million to help it meet an antici-pated need for skilled workers and to modern-ize facilities dating back to the ‘50s.
Impressed by a tour of the college’s trades shop, Clark told com-munications director Phil Saunders after-wards that “after today I’d say you’re halfway there.”
She did say the gov-ernment would give the college $465,000 this year for speci� c job training programs.
NWCC president Denise Henning said this money was “ab-
solutely vital to our school. Right now we are having trouble keep-ing up with demand.”
“There are two legs to this stool,” Clark said of the larger request for $45 million. “You have to create the jobs which we are doing and then we have to train Brit-ish Columbians up to be � rst in line for these jobs.”
During the tour Clark paused for photo ops in front of training simulators, an indus-trial grader and tractor trailers which were pur-chased by the college with a previous grant of $3 million from the Liberal government an-nounced last November.
The $465,000 an-nounced by Clark was part of a $7 million one-time package allotted to post secondary institu-tions.
The province distrib-utes such grants each year with the college receiving $839,537 last year and $138,976 the
year before.Clark also intro-
duced Skeena Liberal candidate Carol Leclerc to the sold out chamber luncheon which was held at the Bavarian Inn.
At the luncheon, Clark spoke of her preference for lique� ed natural gas (LNG) over crude oil.
“On LNG there’s a lot of First Nations participation already,” Clark said, adding that “the product is easier to move and the en-vironmental impacts are small ... it will off-set more toxic energy sources.”
The $7.9 billion Site C hydroelectric dam proposed for the Peace River is necessary in order to provide electri-cal power to the north’s natural gas industry, Clark said.
The premier visited Kitimat after the lun-cheon, stopping at the Tim Hortons there and taking a � ying tour over proposed LNG sites.

fortune minerals PHoto
a railway right of way carves through the Klappan area, home to anthracite coal deposits belong-ing to Fortune Minerals. One of those deposits, the lost Fox, is off to the left in this photo.
A COMPANY with coal explora-tion leases in the Klappan area north of here says it wouldn’t be interested in any kind of deal to give them up.
Julian Kemp of Fortune Miner-als says it fully intends to pursue plans to develop an anthracite coal mine despite continuing objections from the Tahltan whose traditional territory includes the Klappan.
“We now have a partner, POS-CO, of South Korea, a [steel com-pany] world leader, and we’re go-ing to continue,” said Kemp last week of a deal reached last year to sell 20 per cent of its Arctos proj-ect.
He made the comments when asked if Fortune was interested trading its Klappan rights for a benefit elsewhere.
That’s the model Shell used late last year when it gave up its coal-bed methane rights in the Klappan for royalty credits from the prov-ince it will now use in northeastern B.C. to develop a water recycling facility.
The deal, which involved the Tahltan, has been referred to as needed to preserve the Klappan, which contains the headwaters of the Skeena, Stikine and Nass riv-ers, from industrial development.
But Kemp said no one has ever approached Fortune with any equivalent offer to surrender its li-
cences.“There’s been no discussion
with respect to altering our rights to explore and mine coal under the leases we have at all.”
“Close to $100 million has been put into the project,” continued Kemp in explaining the expendi-ture of Fortune and predecessor companies.
Kemp also called unfortunate comments made by Tahltan Central Council president Annita McPhee two weeks ago that Fortune plans to put a tailings pond in the middle
of a Tahltan hunting camp area.“There’s been a lot of miscom-
munication going around,” said Kemp. He said coal is an organic material and a tailings pond con-taining chemicals used to separate ore from waste rock isn’t required.
What the Arctos mine will have is a washing process to clean the coal and while this will generate waste water, the vast majority of the quantity used will be recycled, he said.
“There will be waste rock piled up and this will be part of the con-sultation effort we will go through. If there is a [hunting] camp in the area and there is waste rock and if we don’t know what the impact will be on certain camp locations, if that is so we will make accom-modation and think of ways to make changes,” Kemp added.
Previous developmental work by Fortune in the Klappan has met with opposition from the Tahltan and when Shell first voluntarily stopped its work in the area more than four years ago, so did Fortune.
Fortune changed the name of what had been the Mount Klap-pan Anthracite Metallurgical Coal Project to the Arctos Anthracite Project last year in a bid to give it a fresh start.
Kemp said Fortune will con-tinue to make best efforts to work with the Tahltan.
Selling not an option for coal miners
IT MAY seem to some like Fort St. John is “winning” the air trav-el game against Terrace, if there is such a game, with both major airlines announcing high-profile improvements to air travel in the Peace Region beginning this sum-mer.
WestJet revealed the first of its new regional destinations, and will be servicing Fort St. John as well as Nanaimo, moving a deci-sion on Terrace as a destination until the end of 2013.
And this announcement came hot on the heels of a previous an-nouncement by Air Canada that the first fleet replacement planes, Bombardier’s roomier, faster Q400’s will travel the Fort St. John tarmac.
But this doesn’t mean Terrace was left completely in the dust. In fact, Air Canada has said it is in-creasing the frequency of Terrace flights in the summer, from four to five.
So although Fort St. John is getting the newer, bigger planes, the amount of passengers who can travel to and from the two airports remains competitive – and Terrace passengers will have more options about what time of day they want to travel.
Air Canada representatives, in town earlier this year to present Elan Travel with three plaques commemorating the fifth year of the agency’s membership in Air Canada’s Circle of Excellence,
say there are many ways to grow an airline.
“You can grow an airline by sheer number of seats, or by choice of flights,” said James Howey, Air Canada’s regional general manager passengers sales.
“That capacity, our team and marketing looks at and says, you know Fort St. John can sustain an aircraft with 73 seats on a given departure day [with a lesser fre-quency] ... where historically Ter-race may show a better demand for number of flights as opposed to number of seats.”
All of this could change as the situation warrants, he said, noting that Air Canada will keep review-ing the market demands and add as necessary.
The company’s focus is on connecting passengers to the rest of the world using their Star Alliance network, he said, and maxing out capacity to gateways like Vancouver and Toronto and providing a consistent level of service throughout a passenger’s entire trip.
“Air Canada sees over 50 per cent of our traffic connecting be-yond and we need to provide that network connectivity to the mar-ket in Terrace. That’s what we do, that’s our strength,” he said. “Not just the local traffic, but the con-nections beyond the gateway in Vancouver ... Certainly there’s demand for local traffic, which people take advantage of.”
Many ways to grow an airline: Air Canada
GOING INTO the weekend it was still unclear when the piles of logs in a Terrace log sort yard would once again be shipped, as negotia-tions continued last week between parties embroiled in a contract dispute.
YaoRun Wood began leasing the old Skeena Cellulose property earlier this year to sort logs for ex-port but has been prevented from doing so after contractor Bryco Enterprises blockaded access to the yard with heavy equipment, saying it had not been paid.
Since then, Bryco has moved its machinery away from the gate, with YaoRun fastening a chain and lock of their own on the gate that had once served as point of blockade.
As of late last week it was still unclear what these moves mean, and what is the fate of log yard activity, with both parties saying little as they go through the nego-tiation process.
But speaking last week, Yao-Run representative Charlie Shi said the dispute was about Bryco using more machinery than Yao-Run felt was necessary to do the job.
“When he gave us his invoices, we just found that the hours his machines worked are too long,” Shi said of Bryco owner Bryan Halbauer, noting that the price per machine ended up being four and a half times charged elsewhere.
He expressed desire to settle
the dispute as soon as possible so that logging of YaoRun timber sales can continue, to re-establish a relationship with Bryco and to show others it can do business in the area.
He feels his Chinese-owned company has been discriminated against despite setting up shop in the area. “Our company has hired so many local people and provides many jobs,” Shi said, noting that the company has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes at both the provincial and federal level.
The company also pays taxes to the City of Terrace, on top of the $10,000 per month lease on the city-owned property home to the new log sort yard.
Alan Webber, YaoRun's log-
ging operation manager and long-term Terrace forestry professional, says the whole situation has gone too far and he hopes the log yard will be running at full capacity very soon with Bryco as YaoRun's contractor at the yard.
“It's better to work with one guy for the long term than a bunch of different guys in the short term,” said Webber, who was hired by YaoRun to act as a broker between the Chinese-owned company and the province and help them with Canadian business practices.
“It's a learning situation on both sides,” he said, noting the language barrier has presented challenges for YaoRun, and the situation highlights a need for companies to work within the bounds of their contracts.

AccessibilityYvonne Nielsen wants Terrace to become proactive in improving life for those in need
FOR peOple with dis-abilities, including seniors, arthritis sufferers, those with heart problems, breathing problems, lung problems, and so on, undertaking ac-tivities healthy people take for granted can be very dif-ficult. In some cases impos-sible.
To be truly inclusive, all parts of a community must be accessible—not only the physical layout but also the services. A building may have good access, but if there is no accessible ser-vice, there is no real inclu-sion.
likewise, if disability-friendly service is available but the building in which it is provided isn’t accessible, once again there is no real inclusion.
To be accessible means also providing adequate communication, recreational facilities, transportation, and air quality for people with breathing and lung prob-lems.
It means accessible park-ing, sidewalks that are un-obstructed, camp grounds, housing, schools, colleges, playgrounds, election voting stations/poles, and so on.
Understanding the na-ture of disability is very important. essentially, it is an impairment of a person’s physical and/or cognitive functions. Someone can be identifiably disabled, how-ever they may be good at keeping it hidden. Some dis-abilities can’t be seen from the outside.
This definition can in-clude damage from strokes, spinal cord injury, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, vision and hearing impair-ment, mobility impairment, arthritis, learning impair-ment. The list goes on.
The needs of a person with a disability may be “different” from that of someone who is unhindered by such an encumbrance and the services and access to buildings will be different for each individual person with a disability depending on the severity.
A person with a disability has the right to equal respect and dignity that should be shared by all people in an equal society. What people don’t realize is that having a disability doesn’t mean a person lacks other abilities. They have plenty, and these will contribute to the quality of life for all.
Due to Terrace’s aging population, more and more people will have some sort
of disability. Unfortunately, as it now stands there are barriers that will continue to prevent people from access-ing the right services. The barriers range from lack of proper walkways to narrow-minded attitudes.
One way to remove the barriers would be to change and/or enforce municipality by-laws. Once word gets out that the community is acces-sible and offers services for people with disabilities and seniors this will attract peo-ple to move here for work, school, recreation and re-tirement. This should make sense to any city councillor or engaged citizen.
Many businesses here are unaware of the chal-lenges facing the disabled. Many haven’t done enough to remove access barriers. Hopefully more and more businesses will change their attitude towards people with disabilities and seniors to re-move these barriers.
It is important that people with disabilities break the silence and let management know.
Tell them that making their business accessible to people with disabilities is sound economic practice. Not only will it make your business safer and easier to navigate for staff and cus-tomers, but removing barri-
ers to access can result in an increase in customers. peo-ple with disabilities are of-ten accompanied by friends and family when they shop, travel and eat out.
likewise, it reflects poor-ly on a business when it has a reputation for being barri-er-ridden.
Below are some sugges-tions about how to forge a barrier-free community:
EXTERIOR•Accessible and seniors
parking spaces are designat-ed and enforced.
•parking lot and side-walks are promptly cleared of snow and ice, wet leaves, puddles and other hazards.
•pavement is smooth, without cracks, dips, bumps, pot holes.
•entrances kept clear of obstructions.
•entrance doors easy to open, automatic, or have access button that provide more accessibility.
•Doors wide enough for wheelchairs.
•Wheelchair access routes are well marked.
INTERIOR•Stairways have sturdy
handrails on both sides.•Stair edges are clearly
marked.
•Flooring is non-slid and non-shiny tripping hazards or shiny surfaces could lead to falls.
•Necessary mats are se-curely fastened.
•Wider aisles and unclut-tered aisles to better accom-modate walkers and wheel-chairs.
•location of elevators and accessible washrooms are clearly posted.
•Seating areas exist to sit while waiting.
•Chairs that are sturdy and stable, with arms for people who need to push themselves up, and the chairs are not too low or too soft. Chairs should be a full back, not with a hole in the back.
•A restaurant has tables that are located away from chilly vents.
•An easily accessible customer washroom.
•At least one service or checkout counter is accessi-ble for customers in wheel-chairs.
•Service counters have a place on which to hook a cane so it doesn’t fall.
•Customers are offered assistance when taking items to their cars.
•lighting is adequate and glare-free.
•No in-store music which is distracting and uncom-fortable.
•Wheeled baskets.
TRANSPORT•Terrace has accessible
transit buses with wheel-chair ramps and a handyD-ART bus. And yes, Terrace does have a wheelchair Taxi.
•Bus stops and bus shel-ters need to be kept clear of snow and ice especially the ones in downtown, the hos-pital, the college, etc.
•Abiding by the no park-ing limits painted at bus stops is crucial for people with disabilities.
•No smoking laws at bus stops must be enforced.
•VIA Rail trains should be accessible at every stop. A movable lift/movable ramp is essential, and must be available for those who need it.
•In terms of the Terrace Airport, Air Canada Jazz has a movable ramp for those who need it to board and to get off the plane. If you need the ramp, when you check in let them know well ahead of time. At the same time, let them know that when you arrive at the Vancouver Air-port you need a ramp. If you have a disability and you need assistance for whatever reason, when you check in at the airport let them know so that you have a pleasant flight.
GUIDEFor those with a physical
disability, don’t let it prevent you from travelling by air!
A guide was released De-cember 2012 by Spinal Cord Injury BC (formally called BC paraplegic Association).
It provides an aid for wheelchair users or those with other physical or mo-bility impairments who may not be familiar with how to access flight services.
The guide also offers suggestions on trip plan-ning, flight booking, check-in, security, gate logistics, boarding, in flight mobility, and deplaning procedures. These tips are good for any airport.
Several travel tutorial videos go along with the guide.
Both the videos and the guide can be found on the Spinal Cord Injury BC Web-site: www.sci-bc.ca/travel

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988
THE Liberal Party of Canada leader-ship race may not be top of mind for many northwesterners save for one factor – an idea � oated by Skeena - Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen.
Raised when he ran for the leader-ship of his own party last year, Mr. Cullen suggested that an alliance be formed between Liberals, the NDP and the Greens to defeat Stephen Harper’s Conservative government.
Instead of all three parties running candidates in Conservative-held rid-ings, Mr. Cullen would have the three parties choose the best possible candidate between them, offering up the possibility of mustering enough anti-Conservative votes to win.
Enter Vancouver-Quadra Liberal MP Joyce Murray, now emerging as the main contender to Liberal lead-ership front runner Justin Trudeau.
She would have the three parties choose one candidate in the nearly 60 ridings won by the Conservatives with less than 50 per cent of the vote.
NDP leader Tom Mulcair ditched Mr. Cullen’s idea in general and now speci� cally by indicating the NDP will run a candidate in an upcoming by-election in Labrador. Ms. Murray did convince the Greens not to run a candidate in the same by-election.
Those who oppose the idea regard it as anti-democratic for it robs peo-ple of a choice in an actual election.
But when it comes to the feeling that Mr. Harper is simply bad for the country, the political world knows no boundaries.

EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, April 10, 2013 Terrace Standard
Few things send read-ers scurrying to the keyboard to tap out a comment on a web-
site or letter to a newspaper as quickly as an ordinary topic we can all get our head around, such as a 10-year-old’s recent letter to the Prince George Citizen.
Wrote the lad, “I’ve been thinking the government should make a new law that parents should pay children to do chores and housework. The government should also pay children to go to school so children can buy toys.
“My mom doesn’t agree with this letter but she tells me to speak my mind.”
In short order, 17 readers responded to his letter on the newspaper’s website.
One reader admired his ‘forward thinking’. Another cautioned him not to ‘open that can of worms’, as anoth-er reader made clear if the lad received pay for doing chores around home, he should pay his parents for his room and board.
A fourth reader advised him to collect his pay in cash to avoid being taxed by the government.
Predictably, several point-ed out kids are paid for any
chores they do around the home by meals, clothing, laundry, school supplies and a roof over their heads.
One reader suggested he get a paper route and deliver papers winter and summer. This would keep him � ush with cash for buying toys.
His letter was an example of what editor’s hope for. His sentences were clear, con-cise, on a single topic, and he got his point across without derogatory remarks.
He spelled every word correctly, and used good grammar.
Not once did he lapse into texting shortcuts such as LOL, or FYI, terms foreign
to seniors who avoid texting, twittering and all other forms of social media.
Did he know beforehand the guiding rules for writ-ing a letter with an excellent chance of being accepted for publication in any newspaper or magazine?
At any rate, he followed them: deal with one topic and one topic only, express your views clearly yet brie� y, without impolite language that will have your message censored or tossed into the waste basket.
Many readers turn � rst to the letters page to compare others’ opinions to their own. They are drawn to short let-ters that match today’s atten-tion spans.
Editors may specify a maximum word count rang-ing from 150 to 400. Shorter letters leave space for a va-riety of opinions rather than one long rambling comment.
Too few adults write as well as this young man. Or if they can, they manage to hide their skill.
Above all, he identi� ed himself with his full name; no anonymity for him. He deserves top marks for stand-ing up and being counted, let the chips and brickbats fall
where they may.Chances are good his
mother proofread his letter to catch any spelling or gram-mar errors. Wise move.
Every writer bene� ts from an extra pair of eyes watch-ing for typographical errors that become invisible to the writer after several edits and rewrites.
On a separate note, I was impressed by the boy’s moth-er for telling him to speak his mind even though she did not agree with his point of view.
Too many parents might ridicule his viewpoint and scoff at his notion of present-ing his grade four thoughts to an adult readership.
At age 10 this youngster is a published writer. Unless you are in the habit of hav-ing your writing published, you’ve no idea how scary it can be the � rst time you see your words in print for all the world to read.
Plenty of adults never step off that cliff or do so only behind a cloak of anonym-ity afforded nowadays by the ability to comment via the Internet.
I hope this 10-year-old’s introduction to letter writing will encourage him to keep on.
Keep those letters rolling in

Since I was accustomed to the discussion of petroleum econom-ics centered in Calgary, I saw no need for a refinery in Kitimat. That attitude was based on the fact that there had not been a new refinery built in North America in many years. And any needed increase in petroleum production was achieved by expansion of ex-isting refineries throughout North America. But after my service with Imperial Oil, I went on to serve four years at Canfor which led to my nine visits to China in search of lumber markets.
My exposure to the phe-nomenal expansion of China’s economy opened my eyes to the true merit of the Kitimat refinery concept. It made me realize that it would not be just another refin-ery relying on the North America market but rather a refinery that
would supply the vast appetite of China for petroleum products.
The challenge will be to draw the attention of Asian investors who would see the value to this investment. It appears that David Black, after many years of effort, is nearing an agreement that could provide the vast capital infusion needed to make this refinery ini-tiative a reality.
Asian countries, especially China, are very interested in se-curing sustainable supply of resources that will flow freely without undue trade barriers like surprises with taxes, regulations or tariffs.
Canada has a good reputation as a free trade country that can be relied on as a dependable source of supply. Now is a very oppor-tune time to attract the vast invest-ment needed to make the Kitimat refinery go ahead.
David Black, with his years of diligence, deserves our apprecia-tion for displaying the foresight and courage to invest his time, money and reputation to help bring along this huge initiative.
The positive merits of the Kiti-mat refinery are so profound that this project is really beyond any political persuasion.
Any and all supporters of NDP, Liberal, Conservative or even Green should see the tremendous benefits that would come to B.C. with this project.
This initiative will involve the investment of many billions of dollars. It’s hard for any of us to visualize a million let alone a bil-
lion of any thing. When it comes to the benefits
of a petroleum cycle from well exploration to the gas station, the jurisdiction that hosts the refining process enjoys a huge portion of the value addition to the raw ma-terial. For this project that would mean several thousand mostly trade union jobs for the multi-year term of the construction phase.
It would also mean the creation of over 3,000 permanent jobs for the operation and supply support of the refinery when running.
This refinery would be pro-cessing 175 million barrels per year which means the tax revenue that could go toward healthcare, education, vital services for the disabled and elderly would be im-mense.
But job creation and tax rev-enue is not the only desirable fea-ture. It also would provide much lower risk to the marine environ-ment. The shipments out of the refinery would be finished prod-uct like aviation fuel, gasoline and diesel These products if ever spilt would have much less im-
pact on the marine environment. They would also be transported in smaller ships.
I know there are those on both sides of the political aisle that ad-dress this as a political issue. And I would disagree with both.
This is a project that can be attractive to all political stripes. Trade unions would see a signifi-cant increase in jobs and mem-berships. Hospitals and schools across the province would see an improvement in government funding.
Based on the huge positive im-pact this initiative could have on BC, I think the question should not be if we want it....but rather, how can we help make sure that the petroleum world sees this as an attractive way to invest billions of shareholder capital.

Recycling options inadequateDear Sir:
It was with dis-pleasure that I made my most recent trip to the Thornhill garbage dump for household re-fuse disposal. As I was pulling my garbage out of my covered pickup truck, a young fellow with a radio, whom I saw there asked me if
I had received a copy of the pamphlet being handed out at the en-trance to the dump (I had not).
He told me that the two fluorescent tubes I had just thrown out could be recycled some-where.
I told him that I would continue to re-
cycle my occasional fluorescent tubes at the dump. I later found out that the dump was un-der new management and he was one of two employees there.
As I was leaving, this fellow’s partner showed up to give me a copy of the pamphlet that was being handed
out. It lists 23 kinds of recyclable items and the 28 places in the Terrace area to take them.
If the regional dis-trict really wants to get on the recycling band wagon, they must create a recycling depot area (or two maybe) where virtually all of the recy-clable materials can be
brought to for a single drop point convenient enough that household members will use it.
The idea that an east-ern Thornhill resident is going to have to go all the way to RONA to dispose of two fluores-cent tubes is ludicrous.

Dear Sir:RAfaSIE (Residents Advocating for a Sustain-
able Inclusive Environment) represents concerned citizens patiently waiting to hear the outcome of discussion between the City of Terrace, CN Rail and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastruc-ture to determine the solution to our increased rail traffic problem, but response is vague and illusive.
Local train traffic has substantially increased since the opening of the port in Prince Rupert al-most six years ago. Often access from the south side of Terrace to the north is cut off for extended periods. The repeated closure of these main access points is causing many citizens frustration as they are effectively held hostage.
March 8, 2013 a groundbreaking ceremony was held at the Port of Prince Rupert to mark the start of construction of the port’s $90-million road, rail and utility corridor project, which will support billions in new terminal developments and boost Canada’s trade capacity and exports to fast-growing Asia-Pa-cific markets, yet communities remain forgotten as local traffic is stalled at level rail crossings.
Trains cross through the center of Terrace mul-tiple times a day, closing off transport routes. With only two alternate routes this community is hugely burdened.
Our politicians who claim to be in discussion with the government and CN since the opening of the container port in September 2007 have ne-glected to provide accessible street corridors to the communities who are on their routes.
As plans continue to expand the ports of both Kitimat and Rupert communities like Terrace re-main forgotten. It has been six years since the prob-lem became evident, when will our leaders address this issue? This community deserves to know what progress is being made to resolve this community concern. It is imperative that a solution be found.

Universal Geomatics Solutions Corp. is pleased to announce their expansion into British Columbia with the acquisition of Derry Land Surveying Inc. in Terrace, B.C.. Guy Derry, B.C.L.S., will remain with Universal and take on the role of Branch Manager of USI Land Surveying (BC) Inc., a division of Universal Geomatics Solutions Corp. effective April 2nd, 2013.
Under Guy Derry’s direction, Derry land surveying has provided quality land surveying and geomatics services in the Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert area for many years. With this acqui-sition, Universal will continue to offer that same level of service as well as expanded geomatics services for years to come.
So mine will go to the dump, and if I get chastised again for this, I will, in future, smash the tubes into little bits into a garbage bag of other household garbage and they will still go to the dump.
As for other household garbage, I use very few canned food items, other than pet food and most of these are aluminum cat food cans that I rinse out to prevent smell and flatten and store them for sale as scrap alumi-num.
A standard garbage can will hold a couple of years of them and at the cur-rent prices for scrap metals, it gives me a nice chunk of pocket money.
If the recycling industry could find ways to put a value (to the household
user) on recyclables then more people would be willing to recycle materials that now go to the dump.
I “recycle” all of the drink contain-ers I get at Encorp Pacific or a liquor outlet for a nice bi-monthly stipend.
Incidently, liquor stores must not be considered as recycling points by the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine as they are not listed on the pamphlet.
Come on, Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, get your head out of the sand and do something to promote recycling that will be more conve-nient and maybe profitable to use by householders.

B.C. is not for saleat any kind of price
Dear Sir:I was wondering why nothing is
being done by the City of Terrace about the illegal parking situation at the casino.
I know I have called twice in the last four weeks. I work in the area and on any given day at any hour there can be as many as six cars parked along the building.
The curb is clearly painted yellow. Clearly a no parking zone.
I also find it curious that there are never tickets posted on these vehicles. I was told by the city that our one by law officer didn’t work on weekends. What about today, yesterday, the day before!
Kim Tessier,Terrace, B.C.
Dear Sir:“We have established
what you are madam, now we’re just haggling over the price.”
This famous quo-tation attributed to George Bernard Shaw or to Winston Churchill springs to mind when considering Christy Clark’s earlier state-ments to Alberta Pre-mier Redford about BC’s price for endors-ing the Northern Gate-way pipelines and Clark’s own recent endorsement of David Black’s proposed $25 billion refinery in Kiti-mat.
We already know that the oil industry in Alberta has been flood-ing Clark’s election cof-fers to stave off a win by the NDP that has come out against both the pipelines and oil tanker traffic, so I guess the price of her compliance has been paid.
The timing of Black’s announcement that he has the funding and of Clark’s endorse-ment of the refinery is, of course, no accident.
With just weeks to go to the provincial election that almost ev-
eryone expects to send the provincial so-called “Liberals” into well-de-served oblivion, Clark is desperately trying to create the impression that after years of mis-managing it, she can miraculously kick start BC’s economy with the promise of thousands of jobs from exporting liq-uefied natural gas and now, oil.
Even if these pipe-dreams were attain-able, citizens of British Columbia need to re-member two important things: the concerns about the impacts of pipelines and oil tankers on our rivers, mountains and coastline remain;
and we would still have to trust the cowboys at Enbridge.
Almost three years after the initial spill and almost a billion dollars spent, the United States Environmental Protec-tion Agency has recent-ly instructed Enbridge to dredge and remove the substrate of the Ka-lamazoo River because the EPA’s tests have show that not only does dilbit sink – despite En-bridge’s test results to the contrary – but it is also migrating down-stream and collecting in the impoundments along the river.
Imagine, if you can, a similar spill, not in a slow-moving, flat-land river with dams, but on a fast-flowing, glacial, mountain tributary on the Skeena, or in the Douglas Channel with its deep, rocky bottom.
That bitumen would be there forever.
Why would any-one in his right mind trust anything Enbridge says?
While participat-ing in the hearings of the National Energy Board’s Joint Review Panel – that has never
turned down an oil pipeline – the com-pany along with other oil corporations was successfully lobbying the Harpies in Ottawa for the elimination of protection for the very rivers that the North-ern Gateway pipeline would cross.
The result was Bill C-45 and Bill C-38.
We need to make clear to Christy Clark, David Black, Premier Redford, Prime Minis-ter Harper and the oil corporations they rep-resent that, unlike our premier, this province is not for sale, at any price.

THE PROVINCIAL government hopes $100,000 will be enough to attract an anesthesiologist here.
The incentive is part of a $2 million package to attract 20 general practitioners or family physicians to more rural and re-mote areas around the province.
In the case of the anesthesi-ologist position here, it was iden-tified as a vacancy that needed to be filled, says Dr. Shelley Ross, the president of the B.C. Medical Association which helped decide where the incentives should be used.
The decisions were also based on the degree of difficulty being experienced in filling the posi-tions, she said.
“And $100,000 is a pretty nice incentive,” Ross added.
A anesthesiologist who comes to Terrace will receive $50,000 up front and the rest after one year and must stay three years. Repayment required if they leave before the three years are up.
“We find that the three years is a critical time,” said Ross. “If they stay for the three years we then hope the spouse will have a job, the kids will be in school and they’ll want to stay even longer.”
As it is, the province already spends heavily on attracting gen-eral practitioners and specialists to more rural and remote loca-tions.
Physicians coming to Terrace or to other rural and remote plac-es receive $15,000 for relocation
assistance and $20,000 as a re-cruitment incentive.
They also receive a $17,136 flat fee retention payment and a retention premium of 19.6 per cent.
In the meantime, efforts con-tinue to fill five other vacancies in Terrace.
Still needed are two family physicians, a dermatologist, a combined general practitioner/anesthesiologist and an internal medicine specialist.
“We’re optimistic. We’ve seen some interest in a few of the post-ed positions, but because there are many steps to the recruitment process (determining eligibility for incentives, is one example), it would be premature to speculate when the positions could actually be filled,” said Northern Health Authority official Eryn Collins.
Terrace once had as many as two resident internal medicine specialists. That’s no longer the case and the service is being pro-vided by a rotating pool of spe-cialists.
A successful recruitment ef-fort last year resulted in the ar-rival of an ear, nose and throat specialist.
Another Northern Health Care official, Steve Raper, said Terrace is generally well-served when it comes to general practi-tioners and specialists.
“You have a fairly stable medical community here,” said Raper. “You have very strong practitioners who are good at re-
cruiting.”One benefit is having two
physicians in Terrace who don’t have regular practices but will fill in when required, he added.
It can be a different story in smaller northern locations where it can be difficult to gather to-gether enough physicians in one place to spell each other off.
Elsewhere in the north, Rap-er said the benefits of basing a medical school in Prince George through the Northern Health Au-thority in conjunction with the University of Northern BC as an outreach of the University of BC medical school is starting to pay off.
None of the graduates so far have elected to work in Terrace but Raper says the Northern Medical Program is based on the philosophy that people who are trained in the north will want to stay in the north.
“First and foremost we would want these people to stay in the north. And even if they don’t, and they go to practice in places such as Golden and Oliver then the fact they are going to rural and remote communities is a good sign,” he said.
As it is, Mills Memorial Hos-pital hosts both medical students and residents who are medical school graduates honing their skills under the supervision of a licensed physician.
There are now three medical students at Mills and four resi-dents.

Protests continuingover fish catch banThe decision to ban and re-strict the retention of trout and char caught in area streams that came into effect April 1 has some area anglers calling for one min-ister's head and urging reform to a system they say is broken.
in a letter to premier christy clark dated April 2, 2013, the northwest Fish and Wildlife conservation Assocation calls for the resignation of Minister of Forests Lands and natural Re-source operations (dFLnRo), steve Thomson, over his deci-sion to sign off on the new regu-lation, banning the retention of char in all streams in Region 6 (skeena Region), and curtailing trout retention opportunities.
The change is the final straw for anglers in the region who have lost trust in the government, said nWF&WFA president Mike Langegger.
Lack of proper science and murky public consultation are at the top of their pack of grievanc-es against the dFLnRo. Langeg-ger also said that if conservation is the top concern for the minis-try, then the fisheries should be shut down completely – no more catch and release, no more guid-ing industry, an industry which he says has taken priority over regular fishermen like him.
The group says it's been pushed to the edge and pushed out of the conversation when it
comes to fishing in the region. “They talk about consultation
processes and that being put into place, and the angling commu-nity being consulted – that's very misleading and a farce,” said Langegger. “The regional branch of the BcWF and all rod and gun clubs have removed their sup-port for the sFAc, which was designed to be an angling con-sultation process specific to the region.”
The proposal originated at the 2012 skeena Fisheries Advisory committee (sFAc) meeting.
The province is standing by the regulation change, and the process behind it, saying the move falls in line with the gov-ernment’s conservation first ap-proach to angling, that other jurisdictions have similar regu-lations in place, and that the regulation changed substantially from the original proposal after considering all of the evidence submitted.
The ministry received ap-proximately two dozen responses to the proposal, with a majority opposed, said ministry spokes-person Brennan clarke in an emailed response. A petition was also received with approximately 800 signatures opposing the pro-posed regulation.
“There has been consider-able opportunity for input, as evidenced by the relatively high
volume of submissions received. All feedback was actively con-sidered and ... the proposed regu-lation was amended to allow lim-ited trout retention,” he said.
other western north Amer-ica jurisdiction indicate that as angling and habitat impacts in-crease, a high risk of population decline is created, said the min-istry in its response, noting that it needs to reduce harvest quotas until a better assessment of risk can be made and that work is on-going to assess where risks are likely low enough to restore ad-ditional harvest opportunities.
And the ministry is aware that rod and gun clubs and the region-al BcWF branch have not been attending the sFAc meetings.
“The proposed regulation was discussed actively at the Advi-sory committee in March 2012, and obviously we would prefer their voice at that table to provide input throughout the regulatory review process,” clarke said, noting the regulation change was also discussed at the provincial angling advisory team in decem-ber 2012 and presented to six First nations in the region.
“These groups have still re-ceived meeting invitations as well as agendas for these meet-ings, and all related correspon-dence which would include no-tification of proposed regulation changes,” he said.

A MAN accused of sell-ing drugs is not looking forward to spending a week in Terrace cells while here for his pre-liminary inquiry.
David Edwardsen, who has been at the Prince George Region-al Correctional Centre since his September 2012 arrest, is required
to be here for his pre-liminary inquiry this month which means a stay in RCMP cells here for the five days of the hearing.
Edwardsen’s defence lawyer Greg Cranston was part of a recent pro-vincial court conference call with prosecutor John Walker and told
the court his client did not like the idea of be-ing in cells as they’re not a pleasant place to be in for a week. “I just want to make it known Mr. Edwardsen is not thrilled to have to spend a week in Terrace cells,” said Cranston. He’s now in jail in Prince George awaiting trial.

MAIN LoggINg’s recent B.C. su-preme Court claim against Dowland Contracting isn’t the first to boil out of a major industrial project south-west of Terrace.
A little more than a year ago, a Vancouver-based construction com-pany called surespan sued Veresen, the owner of the Dasque-Middle run of river hydro-electric, claiming it was owed nearly $2.5 million.
surespan was the first prime con-tractor hired by Veresen to work on the $80 million project in 2011.
When it and Veresen became em-broiled in a contract dispute, it was re-placed last spring by Dowland which is now in financial trouble itself.
Local company Main Logging has now sued Dowland claiming unpaid invoices and Dowland is saying it can’t pay contractors it hired because Veresen isn’t pay invoices it has sub-mitted.
In its suit filed Feb. 19, 2012, surepsan says it struck a deal with Veresen for more than $21 million worth of civil works at the location 25 km from Terrace.
surespan says it was cleared to begin work oct. 4, 2011 and started to build roads, prepare a location for one of two planned powerhouses and to prepare corridors to contain pipes that would bring creek water to the powerhouse turbines.
The relationship between sures-pan and Veresen soon soured though and according to surespan’s claim Veresen requested late January 2012 that “surespan cease performing any work in connection to the Dasque Cluster Project and demobilize from the site.”
surespan doesn’t mention the rea-son they were fired in the claim, but Veresen’s legal response says that the work by surespan’s subcontractors “was inadequate in terms of quality and efficiency.”
Furthermore, Veresen claimed the original proposal stated surespan had to “obtain written approval .... for all subcontractors and to submit the identities of any proposed subcon-
tractors and suppliers.” The legal response goes on to say
that contrary to this agreement, sure-span had taken on subcontractors “who were not disclosed to and/or not approved in writing ...”
surespan had billed Veresen on several occasions before it pulled out their operations and filed a supreme Court claim to recoup unpaid labour and construction costs.
Veresen had paid $646,174.37 in-cluding tax to surespan, and stated in their response to surespan’s claim that “the total amount claimed is not a reasonable amount for the work per-formed.”
The surespan suit was eventually noted as closed according to B.C. su-preme Court records.
There was no subsequent record of any arrangement that lead to the suit being closed.
surespan executive administrator llonka Noble said she was unable to comment according to terms of an agreement reached between surespan and Veresen.
The Dasque Middle project is to supply 20 megawatts of electricity to BC Hydro.
Dowland left the area in early Feb-ruary though, and local companies who supplied various goods and ser-vices say they are still owed money.
Main Logging of Terrace filed a lawsuit on March 14, claiming that Dowland owes them more than $100,000.
Veresen, the owners of the Dasque-Middle Creek run of river project, is based in Calgary and bought out swift Power, the company that began the development, in 2010.
The project involved diverting wa-ter from the two creeks and running it through powerhouses to generate electricity which is to be then trans-mitted to BC Hydro’s skeena sub-station via a power line that is now under construction. Veresen is sell-ing the power to BC Hydro, part of a province-wide effort to generate more power. BC Hydro has said it expects the power later this year.

BC TRANSIT has suggested expanding it handyDART service to Sat-urdays to better serve its customer based.
Transit servicecould expandCITY COUNCIL was set this week to decide how soon local transit service could be expanded on weekends.
An additional six hours of handyD-ART service on Saturdays will mean better access to medical services such as dialysis, B.C. Transit of� cial Todd Dupuis told council at a committee of the whole meeting April 2.
“Because there is no handyDART service on Saturday but there is con-ventional bus routing we decided it is important to provide this,” Dupuis said.
The additional service would also give those with disabilities access to the farmers’ market, said city coun-cillor Bruce Bidgood.
Dupuis recommended 2014 to be-gin the new service, however coun-cillor Brian Downie submitted that the need is too urgent and suggested council see to implementing it this year. The other councillors seemed in agreement on this point but was holding off on an of� cial discussion at this week’s meeting to � nalize the decision.
The second B.C. Transit recom-mendation concerned routing. Du-puis showed council three revised bus routes designed to make service
more direct. The new routing would include a stop at UNBC on Keith Ave. as well as express service from Northwest Community College on the bench to downtown.
It is possible that buses will no longer service the Halliwell area di-rectly, but now residents in the top east quarter will have direct access to the college.
Getting consumers to and from Walmart and the grocery stores is a priority, said Dupuis.
Dupuis also said that Terrace is currently in the top three municipali-ties in terms of cost per hour and cost recovery, adding that the changes to routing has nothing to do with budget cuts.
Before a � nal decision can be made on the new routing option, Du-puis said further public consultation is required. And he wants to move away from this static open house model to conducting surveys on the buses themselves.
Councillor Tyers agreed that more consultation needs to go into the � -nalized routing plan, and spoke in support of the handyDART upgrade. The matter was discussed by council April 8.

Two more locals presented with medalsREGIONAL DIS-TRICT OF Kitimat-Stikine chairman Harry Nyce and Don Roberts, the chief councillor of the Kitsumkalum First Nation, have been added to the list of lo-cal residents receiving Queen’s Diamond Jubi-lee medals.
Nyce, who also rep-resents the Nass Valley
area on the board of the regional district, was presented the medal through the Federation of Canadian Munici-palities, the national or-ganization which repre-sents local and regional governments.
Nyce has been a re-gional district director for the Nass area since 1988 and regional dis-trict chair for seven terms and a vice chair for 10 terms.
He’s also served as president of the Union
of BC Municipalities and is an official with the Nisga’a Lisims Government.
Roberts has just been re-elected to a term as chief councillor for the Kitsumkalum First Na-tion.
This will be his fourth two-year term.
Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin, who nominated Roberts to receive one of the four jubilee medals assigned to him, said the presen-tation reflects the work
Roberts has done.“These medals are
about service to com-munity and that’s what Don has done, serve his community,” said Aus-tin.
Kitsumkalum has re-cently opened a quarry
with material being transported to the CN mainline via a spur line.
The first nation has also been active in clearing the right of way for BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmis-sion Line.

Planningstartsfor newhospitalTHE NORTHERN Health Authority has taken the first steps down the long road for either a new Mills Me-morial Hospital or an extensive renovation of the existing building.
It’s hired RPG Plan-ning Consultants to be-gin putting together an idea of what’s needed here, says authority of-ficial Steve Raper.
“It’s important to note that this is a thor-ough planning process that will inform our thinking and govern-ment planning for the next 25 years,” said Raper. “Mills Memorial is a top priority.”
Current priorities are new hospitals for Haida Gwaii and Burns Lake and money has already been allocated for con-struction.

MeMbers of the Kitsumkalum communications team are, left to right, back row, Allan bolton, Arjunna Miyagawa and Joanne bertsch. In front, left to right, Julie Nyce, Andrea sam-Good and Jennifer bolton.
A separate deal, signed in January, would provide the Kitsumkalum with an immediate further 148 hectares from the province should the Kit-sumkalum approve the agreement in principle.
One of those parcels is earmarked for a housing development and anoth-er would extend the area of the Kit-sumkalum quarry which has recently started operations.
Out-of-town ballots sent by mail have been coming in and are being carefully kept until the count begins when in-person voting ends tonight at 8 p.m. at the Kitsumkalum hall.
The communications team is spending today offering rides to vot-ers and will be keeping track of who has voted and phoning those who have yet to cast a ballot to encourage them to do so.

Some of the solutions could in-clude a bylaw for business owners to clean up graffiti on their buildings within 48 hours, imploring local busi-nesses to limit who they sell spray paint to – and potentially keeping it under lock and key, and a graffiti hot-line for public tips.
There is also talk of introducing a graffiti cleanup team – potential-ly made up of one main staff member, volunteers, youth groups and people serving community service – to re-move the graffiti as soon as possible.
Removing graffiti very soon after it is put up acts as a deterrent to other vandals, said Const. Angela Rabut of the Terrace RCMP detachment.
Bob Park of All Seasons Source for Sports says a bylaw isn’t neces-sary, but it is time for businesses to work together to fix this problem.
“There’s no use being penalized twice. You’re penalized because it’s done to your building, and then you have a time limit to clean it up and if you don’t clean it up on time, you get another fine on top of that? No,” he said, of the bylaw idea.
“Word of mouth, co-operation, it works. If you clean it up, it helps, that’s the best way.”
Murals, like the one on the side of the All Seasons and Elan Travel
building act as deterrents as well, said Park, adding more murals could be part of the solution.
Although the city of Terrace said they have no plans for murals at this time.
But Park said businesses can do their part to alleviate the mess.
“I think they can have better light-ing, they can put in outside cameras, and just make sure that if they do get graffitied that they clear it off right away,” he said. “We gotta get the word out there that we’re not going to accept it, that we have to get rid of it when it is done.”
One business owner who has dealt with more than his fair share of van-dalism is Richard’s Cleaners’ John Heighington.
He says each act of vandalism is a personal attack on people who pay business taxes in the downtown core, that insurance doesn’t cover the cleanup costs, and that the RCMP need to educate the perpetrators on how these acts affect local people who have to deal with the aftermath.
“Nothing can be done to the cul-prits even if they are caught red-hand-ed and the cost to everyone just goes up,” he said.
“Frustrating. I just clean the mess up the next day and stay prepared.”

HAPPY GANG Centre kitchen volunteers will soon have a new dishwasher, cupboards and is-land. That will make the work easier for the 40 volunteers including, from left, Ann Evans, Lisa Zorn, Rita Hensman and J.P. Bourgoin.
He loves accompanying singersBy MARGARET SPEIRS
ONE MAN, who has taken part in nearly 40 mu-sic festivals here, may not be noticed by specta-tors even though he’s been on stage all of those times.
Jose Coosemans has been one of the accompa-nists for soloists, choirs and school groups at the Paci� c Northwest Music Festival in at least 36 fes-tivals of his 40 years living here.
“Because it feels good to help people achieve their goals. That’s what I � nd and just for the sake of the music too,” said Coosemans about why he enjoys doing it.
He taught piano for many years and is semi-retired now.
It varies from year to year for how many singers and groups ask him to be their accompanist; some-times he may play up to 100 times at the festival, he said.
He also plays for music students taking exams and at recitals too.
This year at music festival, he’s doing a lot of chorale and music theatre; the latter of which is challenging, he said.
“You really need to keep your eyes and ears open because there’s actions involved and it’s not easy to play for little kids on stage because their voices disappear,” he said, adding he likes playing for all types of music.
“It’s hard because you’re so far away from them on the side of the stage.”
He does play for the same people from year to year but then they grow up and move on.
“And that’s always the sad part,” he added.Music teachers recommend him to their students
for accompaniment.“It’s really hard to be the teacher, voice teacher
and accompany at the same time,” he said of why the teachers don’t do it themselves.
About 38 years ago, he remembers playing for Rachel Reay here and then also for her when she went to provincials in Victoria, he said.
“I remember that being a time I really felt this is what I wanted to do,” he said about accompanying singers on the piano.
As far as highlights, he said in his many years, there have been many students and he didn’t want to name names but did say he had played for a cou-ple of singers from here who have become well-known, such as Ellie Higginson, a lyrical soprano, who sang here, spent a year in Germany with an opera company and has taken a teaching job in Vic-toria, and opera singer Ambur Braid.
“I really love accompanying people,” he said.“To me, I never wanted to be a solo performer,
It used to get me really nervous. But when some-one you coach and mentor and help, is successful, it gives me a lot of satisfaction. I look forward to this time of year.”
He says over the years he’s learned from the vo-cal, instrumental, chorale and band adjudicators at the festival.
Adjudicators will say things that students have heard from their teachers, but students often need to hear it from someone with authority to actually listen to it, he said.
Music develops the mind, is a way to connect with people and is important for the well-being of the community, he said.
It’s part of brain development and even though people talk about talent, it’s all work ultimately, he said.
Plus it’s fun.“People ask what I do for work. I say ‘I play.’
I don’t call it work because it’s what I like to do.”
THE HAPPY Gang Centre kitchen is being renovated thanks in part to a $20,000 donation from local lottery millionaire Bob Erb.
Its last day of serving lunch is this Friday and renovations are scheduled to take a week, says Happy Gang Centre kitchen project coordinator Susan Broughton.
“The only things that are staying are the grill, the stove and the fridge. The rest is a total gut,” she said.
That means new cupboards, a dish-washer that will be rented, new coun-ters and a new and more ef� cient tea and coffee serving area right outside of the kitchen.
Most important will be the instal-lation of a tray rail system so that people with mobility or other issues won’t have to cope with balancing food trays as food is placed on them.
“Some of the people have walkers and some are in wheelchairs,” added Broughton.
The 40 volunteers who share kitchen duty will also have a rented dishwasher of the kind that dish and cutlery trays can be slid in one side and out the other.
“It’ll make for easier and more ef-
� cient handling,” said Broughton.The centre opted to rent a dish-
washer so that it can keep up to date with newer models requiring less maintenance and upkeep.
Broughton, who is acting as the go-between between contractor Pro-gressive Ventures and the Happy Gang Centre membership, said it was important to include the volunteers in the renovations planning.
“They were able to make changes that � t their needs. This is a renova-tion project right down to the co-lours,” she said.
“This project is important to all of us. The kitchen is the heart of the cen-tre. It makes the money to keep the bills paid. Without the centre, your average person will be sitting and looking at four walls.”
Other than replacing � ooring and dishwashers when required, Brough-ton believes this is the � rst major kitchen project to be undertaken since the centre opened 33 years ago.
The last major project at the Hap-py Gang Centre was the installation two years ago of an elevator, making it easier to use the downstairs for rec-reational activities.

in their trucks or in overpriced motels or live in one of the prefab, dormlike “man camps” that serve as instant bed-room communities for towns and work sites. Streets clotted with noisy, exhaust-belching tanker trucks, gravel trucks, flatbeds, dump trucks, service trucks, and oversize, gas-gorging pickups. More crime, more highway accidents, more medical emergencies. People on fixed incomes forced to move because they can’t afford steep rent hikes. Over-taxed water and sewer systems. Prostitu-tion.”
Relax, it’s not a prediction for Ter-race or even for Kitimat, it’s a descrip-tion of present-day Watford City, North Dakota, currently experiencing an oil-fracking boom. And it’s not from some left-leaning radical rag, it’s from the good ol’ National Geographic maga-zine.
There is a familiar ring to it, though. I know several families here in Terrace, happy renters whose landlords have tak-en advantage of the boom to sell their rental homes. Oops, now what, where to move? Rising prices of course make it a great time to sell – and a tough time to buy or rent.
I do not begrudge the landowner’s right to make a profit: they have private-ly-owned businesses and take on all the risks of ownership – mitigated only to some extent by damage deposits renters pay up front. I am using your place for a while, and if I trash it I’ll pay – not just a promise, more like a bail bond: if I fail to do as promised, I will forfeit the cash I put up front.
There are many companies already here and more wanting to come here
and use our place for a while, but I don’t know if there’s any arrangements to first pay a damage deposit.
Here in Terrace, we read the news about companies from out of province failing to pay contractors new to the area who then fail to pay local subcontrac-tors, in a “domino effect.” The disputes up the line hurt employees and other lo-cals who are left holding the bag.
One commentator on the recently ruptured oil pipeline in Arkansas says: “They get the reward, our families are left with all the risk.” An economist can explain what is going on here. Steven Landsburg, in “The Armchair Econo-mist,” says “things tend to go badly when people can escape the costs of their own behaviour.”
Economists use a term borrowed from the insurance industry: Moral Haz-ard. This occurs when decision makers in risky situations reap the rewards with-out bearing all of the costs. “The ability
to pass downside costs on to others en-courages imprudent decision making,” says The Walrus.
In some cases, the profit is priva-tized and the cost/risk is socialized. So we have U.S. taxpayer funded bailouts of banks “too big to fail.” The own-ers of Yellowknife’s Giant Mine went bankrupt and left, so the $900 million expense of cleaning up six decades of arsenic tailings is now the responsibility of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.
Robin Rowland, a Kitimat writer, wonders why the federal government wants to make the private port of Kiti-mat a public one: “Enbridge has been saying the company would pay for all the needed upgrades to aids to naviga-tion. It is estimated that those navigation upgrades would cost millions of dol-lars.” Now it appears the federal govern-ment is “going to take over funding for the navigation upgrades from the private sector and hand the bill to the Canadian taxpayer.”
“Moral Hazard: the Scary Movie,” opening soon in a northcoast cinema near you.
Here’s another scary story:“Take pollution from an expanded
aluminum smelter and bottle it up in one of the world’s most constrained air-sheds. Now add emissions from two or three liquefied natural gas plants burn-ing massive amounts of natural gas and hundreds of LNG tankers moving up and down Douglas Channel. Add an-other 220 oil tankers to take oil from the Northern Gateway pipeline. Now add an oil refinery.”
Don’t relax: that one is about us. Business in Vancouver says “Kitimat could face sky-high pollution from the B.C. energy boom.” Some of these po-tential renters of our place – our land, water and air – are making me nervous.

Herbert Metzmeier“In loving memory of Herbert
Metzmeier: faithful husband, dedi-cated father and proud Opa. Born in Kuppenheim, Germany in 1926 to Theodor and Bertha Metzmeier, he is pre-deceased by his brother Theodor, his two sisters: Irmengard & Gertrude, and his loving wife and companion of 37 years, Elizabeth Metzmeier (nee: Kai-ser, 2004).
Immigrating to Canada in 1951 Herb (as he was known to his friends) moved to Penny, BC where he lived for 10+ years. These were wondrous years, full of trapping, fishing, hunting and living in the wilds of northern BC. Some of Herb’s exploits as a hunter are documented in the book “Grizzly Bear Mountain.”
Herb moved to Terrace in the early 60’s where he worked in the bush as a ‘faller’ for the rest of his working life. He also had many hidden talents, from woodworking and finished carpentry, to cooking and baking traditional ‘old country’ dishes. Many fine piec-es of furniture or delicious baking were given as gifts and ‘Christmas traditions’ through the years. Papa (to his kids) was a very private man, but to those of us who knew him, we discovered a generous, genuinely caring man who was deeply loyal & committed to his family.
We will miss your shining, laughing eyes, your bushy eyebrows and the unforgettable stories of your life and experiences here and from the ‘old country.’ May God bless you and keep you...”The family would like to invite all friends and family to share their memories and stories at a Family Open-House, to be held Saturday, April 13 from 1:00 - 5:00 pm, @ 4919 Davis Avenue.

Golfers tee off earlier than usualMOST YEARS, one might be shocked by the amount of vehicles packing the Skeena Valley Golf and Country Club parking lot on the � rst Tuesday in April – but not this bright, sunny spring. In fact, a packed parking lot has been the norm at the golf course for weeks as golf-ers began teeing off nearly a month earlier than last year.
It’s actually the earliest the course has been open in the last 15-20 years, said the club’s head professional Germain Francoeur.
“We opened March 9, that was our of� cial opening day,” he said. “Last year was a good start – and that was April 7 – my � rst year was the 16th.”
He is busy facilitating the buzz and getting the club ready for the summer season. Staf� ng at the course is lean for now – meaning not many crew members on the grounds or in the pro-shop, but people in the kitchen to serve lunch and dinner to the crowds coming out to the course.
It’s been a great start to the year, he said. The amount of new people signing up as
members (many in the late-20s category, new to the club last year) and the return of some past members who took a year or two off, has him feeling optimistic. But of course it’s all dependent on the weather, so he’s not making any predictions.
“It’s way too early to tell,” he said. “Even with our members, some of them are still in Phoenix spending the winter and don’t get back until the middle, end of April.”
But if the bulk of memberships return, with the amount of activity he’s seen over the last month, he says the club will probably see an increase.

■ Line ‘em up HERE’S YOUNG Kean MacAulay with his eye on the goal at the spring break indoor soccer camp at the Caledonia gym. Outdoor season starts May 4, and the Terrace Youth Soccer Association (TYSA) executive is busy working out all of the last minute details (equipment, � elds, uniforms, coaches). The goal is to have all of the teams made and the coaches delivered with their team lists and gear by April 19 so teams can get in a couple of practices before the season starts. Interested in coaching? See the TYSA website for upcoming coaching clinics.
Circus camp coming to Terrace SportsplexFOR THE third year in a row, circus professionals are touching down in Terrace to teach a � ve-day circus skills camp for Terrace area kids.
The afterschool camp, held at the Sportsplex from April 29 - May 3, is open for kids age nine and up, and for younger kids as long as their parents accompany them to the camp.
The kids are doing ac-tivities like walking on stilts, said Kim MacDougall, program supervisor at the Sportsplex, so there is a bit of risk involved.
But it’s a great chance for kids to get active in a non-traditional way – stilt walk-ing, wire walking, juggling, trapeze, acrobatics and clowning – are all ways for participants to develop bal-ance and core strength, � ex-ibility and stamina.
The three instructors, Dean Bareham, Jessica Bar-
rera and Mike Battie, come from all over British Colum-bia and have taught the Ter-race program before.
Bareham and Barrera have experience working with Cirque du Soleil and Battie is considered the most experienced juggling instructor in B.C., having taught more than 10,000 people the joy of juggling.
MacDougall says the
camp has been growing in popularity each year, with 36 students registered last year, and aiming for around the same this year. There are always a few returning fac-es, but lots of new recruits, as well, she said.
The camp concludes with a Friday night performance where the kids show off the skills they have learned.
“It’s an amazing perfor-mance,” she said.
And the newly crowned clowns get an unexpected bonus when they graduate from circus camp – they now have a skill they can sell as they please.
“A number of the kids af-ter camp went on to perform as buskers and got paid for it,” laughed MacDougall.
To register call the Sportsplex at 250-615-3000 or the Terrace Aquatic Cen-tre at 250-615-3030 – regis-tration is limited.

A lot of people think � sh hatcher-ies are a good idea. There’s a � sh hatchery on the Vedder Riv-er. There’s a � sh hatchery on the
Kitimat River. Skill testing question: What are the two most heavily � shed rivers in BC? Answer: the Vedder and the Kitimat, in that order. Why? Well, simply put, the people that produce hatchery � sh want the � sh they fostered killed before those � sh can pollute wild salmon with genetic material that has hasn’t run the Darwin-ian Gauntlet, creating a win/win scenario thereby. Thus, � shers, most of them male, get to use whatever angling strategy they want to catch and whack a � sh, or two, or three, and then, in the best hunter/gatherer tradition, take them home for a feast. What could be wrong with that?
As it turns out, lots. If you want to understand why, you
need to consider whooping cranes. That’s right, whooping cranes.
Less than a hundred years ago, there were fewer than 16 whooping cranes. That’s it. That’s all. Of those cranes, four birds were breeding females. Whooping cranes had been heavily hunted. Their habitat had been savaged. Those betting on their extinction had gone all in.
Some scientists thought a glimmer of hope was enough. They moved some earth, and a little heaven, to obtain funding and stretched their imaginations to the break-
ing point in order to come up with a program promising a faint hope of survival.
Crane eggs were laid in captivity. When the whooper chicks hatched, the scien-tists contrived that the chicks would see an adult crane as soon as the youngsters had shed their shell. Imprinting is vital to all youngsters. When the adult crane, responding to its genet-ic programming, called to them, the chicks, predictably, responded by rushing toward what they perceived was their mother. Sadly, their union had to be thwarted by a plexiglass barrier. This was essential to prevent the chicks from inheriting traits passed on to them by domesticated hens. Doing so would cripple the chicks’ ability to migrate.
Barred from their assumed mothers, the disoriented chicks then looked around their impoundments and saw stuffed Mute Swans with whooping crane heads at-tached and their wings set so that the chicks could nestle underneath. When the
chicks found this com-fort zone, technicians appeared, dressed like huge cranes with crane puppets attached to their hands.
The faux cranes then taught the crane chicks the basics of survival using puppet theatre. When the wee cranes mastered these skills, the scientists condi-tioned them to follow a small aircraft. When they were fully � edged, the scientists � ew across the continent to Florida in an ultra light aircraft. The cranes followed. Once they have followed the � rst time, they never need to be shown again.
As a result of the committed sci-entists’ exertions, and a cost of $100,000 per chick, and millions for the entire pro-gram, there are now 500 whooping cranes in the wild. A success and a testimony to human ingenuity, except for one thing.
It’s a big thing, too. The cranes do everything that wild
cranes should do, except they abandon their eggs before they hatch. Obviously, this is a � aw, a fundamental � aw. The
cranes are not yet self sustaining. They are dependent upon man. Was this aberra-tion a result of black � y infestations on the nesting sites? Scientists reduced that prob-lem. The cranes’ self destructive behav-iour didn’t change. Were the birds under nourished due to habitat alterations? After much deliberation, the scientists thought no. The problem, it appears, was a result of the magni� cent birds’ zany, puppet-� lled upbringing. But, what part?
Now, keeping the plight of the great cranes uppermost in your mind, think of � sh hatcheries, places where we raise salmon before they have endured the rigour of spawning, after which we raise them in troughs absent the demands survival in a wild habitat imposes. Like cranes they have a twisted arti� cial childhood.
Now, after squandering millions on arti� cially rearing salmon over decades, scientists are discovering that the cost of enhancement continues to rise as the health of both arti� cially reared and wild salmon continues to decline. Highly touted salmon enhancement programs predicted to � x our � shy problems have turned out to be salmon replacement programs, where infe-rior hatchery � sh are replacing genetically superior wild � sh. It’s time to consider the cranes, what drove them to the brink, and to move away from hatcheries before we are dependent upon them to stave off the extinction of salmon.

Sports ScopeA LOOK ahead at what’s on the sports hori-zon. To have your sporting or athletic event included, email [email protected].
MMA APRIL 13 at the Sportsplex Arena Terracites can experience “the cage” with a UFC-style MMA card event featuring 10 or more � ght-ers, many of them local athletes, some of them from as far away as Vancouver, and Fort St. John. It’s northwestern-based national � ghting federation Cage Fighting Force’s � rst event ever as they break into the amateur wrestling market. Starts at 6 p.m.
Cal sports CALEDONIA SECONDARY School students are back from spring break and ready to jump into the spring sports season. The girls’ soccer team has been training indoors for its league, starting April 13, and the boys’ rugby team is already preparing for a mid-April start to the season. Track and � eld is also on the horizon, as is badminton.
Trevor Linden VANCOUVER CANUCK alum Trevor Lin-den – former NHL All-Star, Olympian, and all around nice guy – is coming to Terrace. He will speak at the Minerals North Confer-ence on Friday, April 26 on leadership and meaningful community engagement, and later that night speak at a fundraiser for the Terrace Community Foundation.
Hockey AcademyA PARENT information night was held at Skeena Middle School in February and reg-istration is ongoing for the possible hockey academy at the school next year. The academy will be open to boys and girls in Grade 7 to 9 during the 2013/14 school year and will be a joint venture between Skeena Middle School, Coast Mountains School District and the Pa-ci� c Rim Hockey Academy, which operates a number of hockey academies across B.C.

Golf course open to everyoneAs for the season, ex-
pect the old standbys to still be there – mens and ladies nights on Wednesday and Thursday respectively, and the four main tournaments.
But they’re looking to shake up those offerings and tweak them to make them more exciting.
For example, “mens night we’re going to do a putt for dough,” he said. “In the clubhouse, we’re going to randomly select participants to make a 20-foot putt on the carpet to win all of the money.”
And the junior program, which has been gaining in popularity over the years, will be back in full swing mid-May.
“It’s open to all,” he said. “We keep the fees low
so that we can get as many kids out.”
In fact, it’s the idea that the club is “open to all” that Francoeur is stressing this year. Many people believe that you need to be a mem-ber of the club in order to enjoy its facilities – includ-ing what is undoubtably one of the best patios, with one of the best views in the Terrace area – but that is a stigma Francoeur is trying to shed.
“It’s open to the public,” he said, adding you don’t even need to golf to visit the restaurant.
“We welcome the public, essentially with-out the public we prob-ably wouldn’t have a golf course,” he said, noting the club is a non-pro� t.
