Nisga’a ink deals with provinceBy ANNA KILLEN

INDUSTRY LOOKING to do business on Nisga’a lands can now do so with more certainty follow-ing the signing of a series of agree-ments between the Nisga’a Lisims Government (NLG) and the prov-ince of British Columbia, say offi-cials from both governments.

Hailed as a “significant mile-stone” in the relationship between the NLG and the province, the agreements, signed during a cer-

emony at the Nisga’a legislative assembly in New Aiyansh July 31, advance Nisga’a treaty implemen-tation and lay out a framework for future economic benefits for the Nisga’a Nation.

One agreement signed by NLG president Mitchell Stevens and aboriginal affairs minister John Rustad at the ceremony enables the NLG to collect property taxes from Nisga’a and non-Nisga’a citi-zens who live on Nisga’a lands and have taxing authority over indus-

trial installations, like pipelines, which pass through Nisga’a lands.

“We now occupy the tax room, through the agreement, that B.C. occupied,” said Stevens at the of-ficial signing, calling it “a very significant step in the history of the province of B.C. and the Nisga’a Nation.” The Nisga’a Real Prop-erty Tax Coordination Agreement, which still requires legislation from both governments to bring its terms into effect, is a pledge that solidifies one track of provincial

and Nisga’a discussions following the 2000 Nisga’a Final Agreement, which contained within it a com-mitment from all parties to nego-tiate a taxation agreement. While taxation talks had started and stalled over the years, “with the LNG (liquefied natural gas) oppor-tunities and the LNG pipeline op-portunities, it was timely to get it completed,” said Rustad, speaking afterwards.

The agreements signed allow the Nisga’a “to be able to show

to industry the certainty that they have if they want to consider doing business on Nisga’a lands,” said Rustad. “Whether that be a pipe-line or whether that be a facility of some kind ... this allows them now to say here’s the rules, here’s what it will look like, here’s the certain-ty that you need to come do busi-ness with us.”

Mitchell indicated that stems from the strength of the Nisga’a Final Agreement.

LOCAL FISHING guides and their clients were waiting with baited breath this weekend to see what action the Gitxsan First Nation would take to make a statement about territorial land claims.

A letter from the Gitxsan Treaty Society (GTS) from July 15 said in no uncertain terms that action would be taken to halt not only all fishing by non-Gitxsan in their 33,000 square kilometre traditional territory but also CN Rail, LNG pipeline work and other industry.

The eviction was planned to begin Monday, but in the past weeks anglers were already be-ing blocked from the rivers in the area extend-ing east from Legate Creek, about 50 kilometres east of Terrace, and ending west of Smithers.

Trees blocked boat launches and anglers were asked to leave, indicating the controlled strategy of action was happening ahead of schedule.

For local guide outfitter Stan Doll of Terrace, it’s been business as usual, however, he and oth-er guides have reported an influx of letters from clients asking if their summer fishing trip plans are still possible.

“I have had to reassure clients,” said Doll, adding that he is less concerned than upstream guides because the western edge of Gitxsan land falls outside of many of the major tributaries typically fished by Terrace guides.

Doll said the provincial government sent northwest outfitters a letter with recommenda-tions about how to deal with potential confron-tation, and also reaffirming their legal right to continue fishing.

Gitxsan eviction felt by Skeena fishing guides

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

There is talk of the number of vol-unteers decreasing as jobs become more plentiful and people spend more time making ends meet than taking time out for community proj-ects. But most of cultural and rec-reational additions to town came through the loving hands of volun-teers.

While workers come to town, they may use services but they might not be here long enough to engage locally.

Or, and kudos to these folks, they might jump right in and try to make things happen.

Speaking of which, several who jumped right in and began organiz-ing events, such as the Summer Arts Festival, are leaving town.

Here’s hoping some fresh faces step up to � ll those empty spaces.

Volunteering is an excellent way to get to know a new community and meet friends and neighbours, and contribute to a good cause.

As many event organizers say after-ward, they couldn’t do all the activi-ties planned for visitors and residents alike without the time that volunteers give. Often, they’re only asking vol-unteers to help out for an hour or two, or even if it’s longer, many volun-teers � nd they have a lot of fun and satisfaction from helping out.

So while you’re out and about during Riverboat Days, remember those who are helping out and thank them for taking the time to make the events what they are – and maybe give them your number so you can share your time, too.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI

EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, August 6, 2014 Terrace Standard

One morning a week ago, sounds of what I took to be a mouse

scritching about under my pillow had me wide awake in seconds. A smash of my � st over the sound halted it. I wondered, “Could that really have been a mouse? Or was I dreaming?”

I have a farm kid’s aver-sion to the pink pawed little creatures who destroy far more than they eat, and I’ve never been comfortable knowing a mouse might be lurking somewhere in my home.

Years ago while living in a mobile home that had been damaged during a 900 mile move, my family battled mice so prevalent even the cat took refuge on the third shelf of the kids’ closet so she could rest for next day’s hunt.

But my current home is built on an impenetrable concrete block foundation with snug doors that are kept closed, and windows that are screened. Outside two dogs come alive at the hint of any moving alien.

How could a mouse have got into the house? Except now and then I had been

throwing � rewood into the basement. Could a mouse have ridden in on a block of birch?

That night reading in bed, I thought I heard rustling sounds on my closet � oor. Or was the wind whipping dry leaves?

Next morning, my suspi-cions were con� rmed when I found a mouse turd beside the brown sugar jar. A mini marauder had invaded my home.

Journaling as I sipped my coffee, unusual loud popping noises began under the cof-feemaker. The sounds grew louder as though the counter was being hammered from

underneath.Gradually the sounds mi-

grated to the corner shelves where I store frying pans, mixing bowls, and a tower of Ziploc containers.

I thumped my � st into the cupboard door. Peace. No activity ... for all of three minutes before renovations resumed.

I leaned over the counter listening. De� nite sounds of something big. An eight inch rat? The possibility made me shiver.

Grabbing a � ashlight, I peered between the frying pans and mixing bowls. Si-lence. No stirring. No head-light eyeballs.

I closed the cupboard door and all doors into the kitchen before noting the gap under each one. I blocked the gaps with rolled up mats. But owing to the generous space around the gas line supply-ing the range, a mouse could traverse along the back of all the cupboards yet remain out of sight.

Less than three min-utes later, scuf� ing began a few feet over under the sink where I collect empty bread wrappers, and stuff plastic shopping bags in a two-foot-high plastic bulk bin phased

out by Safeway.In a frenzy, I tore out

everything under the sink – bags, folded paper bags, plastic bin.

In the bottom of the bulk bin hidden under four plastic bags, a tiny dark blob ran a wild circle.

I carried the container to the slop sink and � ooded two inches. A mouse smaller than my little � nger leaped up the sides.

More water and it might have leaped right out. I tried to pin it with a pickle jar. It � t safely in the bin’s square corner.

When the drenched ro-dent teetered on the rim of the jar I gripped one of its legs with pliers and dropped it into the swirling water of a � ushing toilet.

Trying to return to jour-naling, I thought, “Suppose the little fellow didn’t drown but is clinging to the inside of the bowl waiting to leap out to dry linoleum?” I lifted the lid to check. He was gone.

Throughout the morning I found evidence he had been in the dish drainer, in another cupboard and on my bed, proving in one week like the Hank Snow song, he had been everywhere.

Is there a mouse in my house?

‘Audi Alteram Partem:’ hear the other side

Terrace Standard Wednesday, August 6, 2014 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7

The editor occasionally cautions me to remem-ber that the purpose of a community newspa-

per is to speak to the community about issues of concern to the community.

I am relatively new to Terrace, but I have gained some under-standing of local issues and con-cerns.

Even a casual observer could not help but notice the prevalence of lawn signs on the subject of the Northern Gateway project, the multitude of social, cultural, and economic assistance agencies, the industrial traffic and, more recently, the energetic residential subdivision construction.

My problem is not the lack of a subject to write about, it is deciding where to start and how to structure my arguments so as to bring them to a rational con-clusion within the column’s 630 word limit.

When something attracts my attention, I set out to gain an un-derstanding of its social, cultural, political, and economic context

before framing an opinion. I am an avid non-fiction read-

er, and what I read has a strong influence on the way I go about trying to understand what I am looking at: books such as Thom-as Piketty’s Capital, a study of the evolution of inequality and the concentration of wealth at the heart of our political economy, or Vivek Chibber’s Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capi-tal, a critical analysis of postco-lonial theory, offer a thorough socio-economic background.

Donald Savoie has authored many books on Canadian politics. His latest, Whatever Happened to the Music Teacher, should be a quick and easy read, but his ex-planations of how we progressed from “Government of Canada” to identifying the institution by the Prime Minister’s name is un-settling. Savoie reveals the ugly truth of the consequences of those events and developments written about by Piketty and Chibber.

Savoie traces the gradually progressive surrendering of de-cision-making powers by Parlia-

ment and Cabinet to the Prime Minister’s Office.

This transition is not limited to the federal government; it is also evident at provincial levels.

Concentration of power cre-ates bottlenecks, a decision-making vacuum that leaves many subjects not central to a first min-ister’s agenda unresolved.

Unresolved problems, be they of an economic, social, cultural

or environmental nature, do not remain static; they fester, grow, and spread like weeds.

The process is gradual, and people inevitably adapt to the conditions created.

Promises based on political ideology have failed to material-ize. In Savoie’s words, “the no-tion that public administration could be made to operate like pri-vate sector management has been misguided, [and] recent manage-ment reforms in government have been costly to taxpayers.”

He maintains that the concen-tration of political powers “has caused some power to move out of national governments, drift-ing up to international or regional trade agreements or organiza-tions, and down to local govern-ment.”

In other words, communities are left to deal with problems which are the consequence of economic, social, cultural and environmental neglect by federal and provincial governments who avoid making decisions on mat-ters which are their constitutional

responsibility. The impacts of that neglect

surface in communities who have neither the resources nor the con-stitutional authority to deal with the consequences of their govern-ment’s ideology.

Governments have lost sight of the common good.

Thus, when a local issue arouses my interest, authors such as Piketty and Chibber paint a picture for me of the social, eco-nomic, and cultural history of the issue, and Savoie helps me under-stand how it all fits into Canada’s current political reality.

Forming an opinion and reach-ing a conclusion at this point is not a problem.

The problem is boiling my thoughts down to 630 words, a problem made worse by authors such as Joseph Heath and his philosophical explorations in En-lightenment 2.0 of the social and environmental preconditions for rational thought.

Maybe if I took up tweet-ing I would learn to express my thoughts in 140 characters.

BC GOVERNMENT PHOTO

BRITISH COLUMBIA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with China’s National Energy Administration July 24.

This could change everythingDear Sir:

I am disappointed that the Standard did not see fit to re-port on an action of Christy Clark’s BC Liberal govern-ment which has the potential of irremediably altering the economic and social fabric of the northwest.

I refer, of course, to the Memorandum of Understand-ing [MoU] signed 24 July in

Vancouver by the govern-ments of British Columbia and China “on natural gas sec-tor cooperation”, from which a few choice articles stand out:

Objectives:iv) Encouraging the par-

ticipation of British Columbia and China-based enterprises in each other’s natural gas sectors, in activities such as

investment, exploration, pro-duction, and infrastructure development;

v) Promoting cooperation and understanding in related areas of interest, such areas as labour market demand and supply, technical services, equipment manufacturing and science and technology re-search and development.

Other Considerations

a) The Participants will, in accordance with their respec-tive applicable laws and regu-lations, and respecting the priority of hiring domestic la-bour whenever possible, work together with the appropri-ate authorities to secure and facilitate the entry of foreign workers.

Dear Sir,There have been so many expressions of con-

cern and love given to myself and my wife over my health in the last 6 months that I have felt compelled to express our gratitude publicly. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January of this year and in February I had surgery to remove my prostate and the surrounding lymph nodes. It is our hope that this surgery will provide a cure, but only God knows.

I believe most men hardly even know they have a prostate. Prostate cancer is too common in men and it is successfully treated in most cases if caught early. It is one of the few cancers that has a chemical marker in the blood that can be measured with a simple test called a PSA. Once suspicion has been raised, biopsy can tell if there is cancer. These things are not difficult, but men tend not to discuss such matters with their doctor. I know there are quite a few wives who are going to read this and say to their husbands, “you’re going to get that checked!” Sorry Guys:-(

While I have some challenges ahead to make sure they have removed all the cancer, there is no chemotherapy for me to undergo. I am feeling 100 per cent since the surgery and am back to work full time helping my animal patients.

I can’t believe how many people surrounded us with their love and prayers since my diagnosis. We have been truly overwhelmed by the outpouring of concern. After living and working in Terrace for 24 years, I guess you never know how many lives you have touched until you have such a challenge as we have. It is with sincere gratitude that I express my thanks to all who have shown myself and my family so much care.

Dr. Tom Sager Skeena Animal Hospital

Plan aims to revitalize SouthsideBy JOSH MASSEY

THE CITY of Terrace is look-ing at transforming a currently abandoned section of a south-side neighbourhood of Terrace into a bustling commercial and high density residential zone with some light industry mixed in as a response to projections of a steep population growth that could see Terrace’s popu-lation swell by 5,000 over the next five to six years.

As part of the neighbour-hood concept plan initiative, the city held two workshops last month and hosted a walk-ing tour to allow community input into its big vision plan to revitalize the largely un-used industrial land west of the Sande Overpass on the south side all the way to a point be-tween Kenney St. and Frank St.

The concept plan, which is being developed over the next three to four months, looks at the possibility of changing the zoning of this strip from the current heavy industrial desig-nation to a mix of high density residential, commercial and light industry.

On a walking tour earlier this summer members of the

public and city staff toured what is being called the Keith Avenue Industrial Transi-tion Area, made up of ap-proximately 70 acres, most of which is contained in the 40-acre, rubble-filled site where Skeena Cellulose and Terrace Lumber Company used to be situated and is currently owned by NSD development corpora-tion, and in the 20 acres of city owned land west of Kenney St.

The transition has already begun, with the owners of the

Chrysler and Toyota dealer-ship, Onstein Holdings, hav-ing purchased several acres at Kenney St. and Keith Ave. to expand their business. Howev-er, this will require a rezoning from industrial to commercial use.

“The pedestrian overpass was a big theme,” said city sus-tainability co-ordinator Tara Irwin of the open house hosted by the city. On the walking tour she pointed out locations where future pedestrian over-

passes could be located at one or more spots at Kalum St., Kenney Ave. or across from where the Rona is located.

University of Northern British Columbia chair Phil Burton spoke to the group as they stopped outside the cam-pus.

He discussed the universi-ty’s ongoing desire to expand, possibly with a new building across the street if there is a zoning change and environ-mental cleanup on that site. He said that revitalization of the area could attract new students to study in Terrace.

According to city staff NSD Development and other companies with interests in the concept area are not on side with the plan to switch the zon-ing because the area remains attractive to heavy industry.

Irwin said that some of the value added to the land if it was changed to residential and commercial usage could be put towards what would be an expensive environmental cleanup.

Money for creating the con-cept plan came through the Northwest Readiness Project funded by the provincial gov-ernment.

So the final tally of the Liberal’s “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs” strategy will see Chinese “par-ticipation” in investment, exploration, pro-duction, infrastructure development, R&D, Tech services, equipment manufacturing and ‘wherever possible, the entry of foreign work-ers’ in B.C.’s Natural Gas sector.

Was there anything else Christy might have forgotten to sign away? Our breathing rights, perhaps? Or perhaps the establishment of Special Economic Zones?

They’re very popular in China just now, where there are over 50 state-level economic and technological development zones with the purpose of encouraging business.

Tax incentives are offered to attract inves-tors and rules and regulations in existence elsewhere in China are largely absent within the confines of a zone.

How far is Christy prepared to go to ac-commodate our new economic “partners”?

Safety Tip:Crashes involving driver fatigue peak in the summer, due in part to hot weather and long road trips. Get enough rest before you head out. If you feel drowsy, pull over safely and take a nap. The

only cure for drowsiness is sleep – it’s better to arrive late than not at all.

Question of the WeekThe posted speed limit has been raised by 10 km/h on many major highways in B.C. If you have driven some of those stretches, have you found cars passing you beyond the raised limit?

Challenged by one Hellcat of a muscle carPortland, Oregon – Do I take the red key or the black key?The black key limits horsepower to 500. Jaws drop. If you put it in valet mode, rpms are limited to 4,000. Gosh, I really hope I can take the red key…This Matrix-like conundrum is a good one to have. Take the safer route (black key) if you’d rather ease off on harness-ing the gargantuan horsepower of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8, as well as the most powerful produc-tion muscle car to date, so it needs to be treated with respect.But then again, the red key will allow me to tame this muscled feline one shift at a time, whether through the 6-speed manual or an 8-speed auto-matic.Looks like the decision has been made for me. Red key is sitting pretty in the centre console. And it’s in track mode. Electronic intervention is minimal. I

have access to all 707 horsepower and I’m at the Portland International Race-way. I’d say this will be a heavenly day.With a new look on the inside and outside, the 2015 Dodge Challenger is ready to take on its Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro competition head-on.According to market research, two thirds of Challenger buyers say they don’t cross-shop anything else. That said, those who did cross-shop, and decided to go in another direction, attributed it to its archaic interior. That problem is no more. Now Challengers come with a driv-er-centric and cool-looking interior setup. Whether you have the standard 5-inch touchscreen or the optional 8.4-inch (the biggest touchscreen in its segment), you can’t lose. Then there’s a new 7-inch multi-view driver informa-tion display instrument cluster that adds to the chic execution; standard

on all models. Not to mention, it displays all the vital stats that you’ll need when driving.Combined with physical buttons – for those who don’t like to control everything by a screen – its evolutionary changes certainly help its cause. A lot.But the heart of the Chal-lenger lies underneath its sheet metal – the curves and edges that were inspired by the ’71 Challenger.When it comes to engine choices, you’re not without options. There are four.

Here’s the skinny: 1) A 3.6L, Pentastar V6 producing 305 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque2) A 5.7L, V8 HEMI with 372 horse-power (with the 8-speed automatic) 375 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque with the 6-speed manual3) A 6.4L, V8 HEMI with 485 horse-power and 475 lb-ft of torqueLast but not least,4) A supercharged 6.2L, V8 HEMI with 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.All engines except the V6s can be paired with a manual or an automatic. The V6s only come with the 8-speed automatic. Again, no matter what you choose, you’ll come out singing. Back to the road.Having tested all four models – with

different packages – the thing that stood out the most to me is how good of a car it actually is. Even on a quaint suburban drive through a national park where speed limits were posted at 35 mph, I was impressed with its road manners. And considering I had almost 485 horsepower (with the 6.4L engine), it was as docile as a lethargic lion, yet ready to pounce when the opportunity presented itself.Both track time and road time added to the

multi-dimensional admiration for the two-door.Sure, visibility isn’t ideal. The C pillars are huge and cut into sightlines when looking rearward. The rear seats don’t offer a ton of legroom – especially for the individual stuck in the middle – but heck, it does have room for five.Fuel economy, well, you’re not buying this car for its estimated numbers! That’s for sure.But it does offer an emotional experi-ence. It turns heads and is sexy as hell.Even the V6 on the track did a bang up job. And with a starting MSRP of $28,995, the Canadian-built Challenger is up to the task, will kick butts, and take names. All at the same time.Visit www.dodge.ca for more details.

“The Nisga’a Final Agreement was signed to provide certainty and those people that want to invest $30, 40 bil-lion in this province to come through Nisga’a Lisims territory under-stand the certainty this document provides,” said Stevens.

Negotiated with fed-eral and provincial gov-ernments, the Nisga’a Final Agreement con-tains provisions which the Nisga’a say ensures that any industrial de-velopment that takes place on Nisga’a lands must both respect the rights of aboriginal people and protect the environment.

“When any type of development is to proceed on this land we’ve been very con-sistent that we would not trade off the rights and interests of Nisga’a citizens for economic development,” said Ste-vens. “All development in our territory must be consistent with the Nisga’a Final Agree-ment.”

To that end, the Nisga’a and the prov-ince also signed off on a settlement agreement which resolves the dis-pute over the environ-mental assessment of Avanti Mining’s Kit-sault Mine project.

The Nisga’a formal-ly opposed the provin-cial government’s en-vironmental approval for Avanti granted last year, saying it didn’t follow the provisions within the Nisga’a Fi-nal Agreement.

It first used a provi-sion in the final agree-ment to resolve dis-agreements and then filed a suit against the provincial government.

That suit, however, was put on hold last fall, paving the way for a revenue sharing deal with Avanti, an agree-ment that includes environmental protec-tion measures for its planned molybdenum mine at Kitsault.

The settlement agreement lays out a collaborative frame-work for future envi-ronment assessments and a “commitment to negotiate the Nass Stewardship protocol, a government-to-gov-ernment collaboration agreement that will help the Nisga’a Nation and B.C. work together to promote responsible

natural resource man-agement and devel-opment in a way that honours B.C.’s, and the Nisga’a Nation’s, re-sponsibilities under the treaty,” reads a back-

ground document pro-vided by the parties.

The Kitsault Mine Economic and Com-munity Development Agreement will enable the Nisga’a to further

tap into taxation ben-efits from the Kitsault mine, providing a 35 per cent share of pro-vincial mineral tax rev-enue from that mine’s projected 14 to 16 year

operation. The parties have also agreed to work towards a simi-lar development agree-ment for future mining projects.

“Like anything, we

want to see economic activity and economic opportunities brought forward, but also and probably more impor-tantly, we want to make sure that treaty nations

are successful and they have opportunities to fully engage in the economy and so this is a big piece for the Nisga’a and also for the province,” said Rustad.

Seabridge Gold is excited to announce the BC government’s approval of the KSM Project’s Environmental Assessment (EA) Application. Mary Polak, Minister of Environment, and Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines, approved the document on July 30, 2014, paving the way for the next regulatory step: approval from the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. The KSM Project’s 35,000-page application took nearly seven years to prepare – hundreds of people from more than 20 world-class consulting fi rms provided input and studies – and the design of the copper-gold-silver-molybdenum mine located 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart, BC has been updated several times to refl ect concerns of government regulators and local citizens, including Treaty and First Nations. “We are pleased Ministers Bennett and Polak, through their issuance of the EA Certifi cate, have recognized the KSM Project will not result in signifi cant adverse effects and Seabridge has met all requirements for consultation,” said Brent Murphy, Seabridge Vice President of Environmental Affairs. “It’s taken more than six years and we would like to thank each person who contributed to ensuring the KSM Project is environmentally and socially responsible, sustainable and economically feasible.” The BC Environmental Assessment approval is a key step in the permitting process but more remains to be done. Seabridge will now focus on obtaining Federal approval, approximately 200 additional operating permits, strategic partnerships and fi nancing prior to beginning construction.Seabridge looks forward to continuing to work with the community during this time. How KSM Benefi ts BCKSM is an important anchor for the economic development of Northwestern BC. To date, Seabridge has spent more than $176 million in exploration, engineering and environ-

mental work, and 80 percent of this total has been spent here in BC. The company expects to spend an additional $29 million in 2014. During the fi ve-year construction process $3.5 billion will be spent directly in BC for goods and services and the mine will directly employ 1,800 people. During the 52-year production life of the mine, 1,040 people will be continuously employed and $42 billion in total GDP will be generated for Canada, including an annual contribution to BC GDP of more than $400 million.Community Meetings in AugustAs they have done since 2008, Seabridge team members will participate in a set of community meetings during late August. The meetings will provide an update on the KSM Project, including a presentation of KSM water quality and fi sh habitat management plans identifying how the company will ensure that any water used in the mining process or that comes into contact with operations will not harm fi sh habitat and aquatic life. Watch for notices in your community papers for the dates and locations of the meetings for your opportunity to learn more.

“The province is aware that the eviction notice may result in confrontational situa-tions with individuals and businesses operat-ing within some areas of asserted Gitxsan Tradi-tional Territory,” said a statement from the Fish and Wildlife Branch to local outfitters.

“As a potentially impacted business, I recommend you have a safety plan in place that includes preparation for encounters with protest-ers that may be video-taped and publicized.”

The message goes on to say that “In the event of an incident, I recom-mend that you and your staff refrain from re-sponding directly, and observe carefully, re-move yourselves from the situation as quickly as possible, and im-mediately report to the RCMP.”

During the weeks leading up to the evic-tion, it became apparent that not all members of the Gitxsan First Nation agreed with the widely-publicized eviction plan by the treaty society and the hereditary chiefs it represents.

The chiefs of houses (wilps) not represented by the GTS disagreed with the extent of the planned action because they have agreements with fish guiding com-panies and need the business.

A different group of hereditary chiefs called the United Chiefs wrote their own press release addressed to the Min-istry of Aboriginal Re-lations and Reconcili-ation speaking against the eviction strategy presented by GTS ne-gotiator Bev Clifton Percival.

“The United Chiefs are not in agreement with Ms. Percival’s statements that Gitx-san intend to evict third parties from our territo-ries,” said the statement signed by hereditary chiefs Earl Muldon, Norman Stephens, Lar-ry Patsey dated July 28.

Another house, Wil-ps Gwininitxw, echoed this sentiment.

“While Wilps Gwi-ninitxw supports the western Gitxsan Houses regarding the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum AIP land grab, it does not support the eviction no-tice for all Gitxsan terri-

tories,” said a statement from the wilp with more than 200 members.

The AIP mentioned in this statement, short for Agreement in Prin-ciple, is the central de-mand of the Gitxsan, however, there is dis-agreement over how those demands should be put to the govern-ment. Both those who supported the eviction and those who didn’t were in agreement that the province should re-vise its treaty plans with the Kitselas and Kit-sumkalum bands and re-move land given to these bands which the courts in the past have said be-longs to the Gitxsan.

According to Per-cival, the money offer from the province of $12 million tied to two natural gas pipelines that would pass through their territory was not good enough to stop the eviction and missed the point.

“As usual with the crown, they just kind of come up with a formula and that’s what they use. There is no nego-tiation in there and it’s a take it or leave it ap-proach,” she said.

Currently the govern-ment is trying to get the Kitsumkalum and Kitse-las treaties approved by the federal government, but the Gitxsan want the application withdrawn and negotiations to take place first to resolve the disagreement over the disputed area that takes in two rivers near Git-segukla and Kitwanga.

TransCanada, the company currently do-ing pre-work on two natural gas pipelines passing through the area, said it has a good relationship with the Gitxsan but that in light of the eviction notices for all industry they are respecting the Gitxsan’s desires.

“We are seeking clarification from them to determine if our envi-ronmental and geotech-nical fieldwork on their traditional territory can continue,” said a state-ment from TransCanada last week.

The possibility of a block to transportation, fishing and industry is unsettling in the much-used corridor.

Skeena Watershed Conservation Coali-tion leader Shannon McPhail said that hers

and other organizations that aim to preserve salmon stocks in local rivers have received fi-nancial aid from guid-ing companies.

“Now they feel un-welcome,” she said. “The last thing we need in this community is another reason to be divided ... some people will take this and make it worse.”

Gitxsan Hereditary Chief Luutkudziiwvs said that everyone should relax. “The fish will be back next year,” he said.

No injury crash ‘unbelievable’EVERYONE WALKED away with no injuries from a three-vehicle collision on Hwy 37 south of Williams Creek shortly after 10 p.m. July 30, reported Terrace RCMP July 31.

Aggressive driving was the cause of the colli-sion, said police.

“It really is unbelievable that nobody got hurt. The potential was there for a whole lot worse. Drivers need to slow down, respect others using the road, and focus on getting to their destina-tion safely,” says Cpl. Phil Crack, West Pacific Region Traffic Services, also known as the high-way patrol.

A silver 2003 Jeep Liberty being driven by a 25-year-old man made an attempt to pass a brown 2009 Honda Civic on a blind corner, double solid line, and in a no passing zone, said police.

The Jeep collided head-on with a brown 2012 Peterbilt tanker truck that was approaching in the opposite lane, continued police.

The Jeep went into a spin and struck the Hon-da it was trying to pass.

Two thieves caught on game cameraTERRACE RCMP are asking for the public’s assis-tance in identifying two thieves whose images were captured on a game camera.

The first thief is a woman with light-coloured shoulder length hair.

The second thief is a man wearing light-coloured clothing, reported police on July 30.

The thieves stole a pair of Leopold binoculars out of a grey 2003 Chevrolet Crew Cab truck. The binoculars alone can range between $250 and $400. A buck knife was also taken from the vehicle.

Another vehicle was also invaded and thieves left with an iPod, an iPhone and a woman’s ring from a grey 2014 Honda Civic car. The theft oc-curred the night of July 29 at 2:52 a.m.

Both vehicles were parked at a residence on the 2500 block of Eby St.

Locking your vehicles is the best deterrent against thieves. Do not leave valuables inside of ve-hicles. If valuables have to be left, keep them out of sight, says Const. Angela Rabut, community polic-ing/media relations Terrace RCMP.

Tuck your personal items like purses or iPods in a locked glove compartment or under the seat or a blanket to prevent temptation from onlookers.

If you have information about this crime, con-tact the Terrace RCMP at 250-638-7400 or anony-mously through Crime Stoppers by telephone at 1-800-222-TIPS, online at www.terracecrimestop-pers.ca or by texting TERRACE plus your message to 274637 (CRIMES).

ONE OF the biggest copper and gold ore deposits in the world has received an environmental as-sessment certi� cate to begin de-velopment of a mine near Stew-art in northwestern B.C.

Seabridge Gold's KSM mine property includes four ore bodies that contain silver and molybde-num as well as gold and copper. The Toronto-based company plans a combination of open-pit and underground mining to ex-tract ore and a pair of tunnels to transport up to 120,000 tonnes a day to a processing area 23 km away.

Seabridge expects a construc-tion period spanning 20 years and a mine life of 50 years, with 1,800 construction jobs and more than 1,000 employees to operate the mine.

Seabridge CEO Rudi Fronk said the company's next step is

to secure a � nancing partner, an effort buoyed by the permit and discovery last year of a new ore body with higher copper content. He said it will take at least two years for a partner to reach a � nal investment decision.

Seabridge has a bene� ts agreement with the Nisga'a Na-tion, whose territory was de� ned by a treaty in 2000, and the prov-ince has agreed to a 37.5 per cent share of provincial mineral roy-alties to be paid to the Nisga'a.

Energy and Mines Minis-ter Bill Bennett said the recent completion of the Northwest Transmission Line to extend the BC Hydro electricity grid to the region made this mine possible, as well as a molybdenum mine at Kitsault and the Red Chris copper-gold project near Dease Lake.

"This is one of the biggest mines that's ever been permitted in the province," Bennett said.

"It's on a scale with Highland Valley copper [near Kamloops], with Fording River or Elkview coal mines in the southeast, ma-jor mines that will really make a difference in our economy."

The KSM project still requires federal approval, expected by October. Fronk said the federal review has agreed with the prov-ince that the mine would not pose a signi� cant environmental risk.

The site is near the border with the Alaska panhandle. Ben-nett said during the provincial review, the company changed its design to move the tailings and processing facility away from the mine site to address concerns by the � shing and tourism industry in Alaska.

Fronk said the tunnel compo-nent represents about 10 per cent of the capital cost, but it reduces the length of road required to truck concentrate to port facili-ties at Stewart.

Gold mine gets provincial approval

PLANS FOR the alfalfa protein extraction plant out at the Skeena Indus-trial Development Park have some entrepre-neurial-minded people in the area wondering how they might cash in on the nutrient-rich crop. And while local and provincial experts agree that alfalfa could be grown in the Terrace area, they are also of the mind that wet sum-mers mean the business would be a risky one.

According to local ecology expert Norma Kerby, alfalfa grows best in warm condi-tions.

“The problem with Terrace is the great swing in rain/tempera-ture conditions from year to year,” Kerby said. “A summer like 2013 in Terrace could most likely support al-falfa production, but a summer like 2011, where we had about three days of sunshine and the temperatures were cold, would not support good alfalfa production.”

Kerby added that ge-netic modi� cation ex-periments have yielded strains of alfalfa that can grown in atypical conditions. But even if a farmer took that con-troversial route of using a wet-weather alfalfa strain, “the next prob-lem would be to get

large acreages of till-able land that weren't being eroded by the river.”

A statement from the provincial Ministry of Agriculture says pretty much the same thing.

“There may be an opportunity for small-scale alfalfa production in the Terrace area but it would be limited by climactic variables such as high amounts of pre-cipitation, cool growing season temperatures, and winter losses from ice forming over the surface of � elds,” said the statement.

According to the ministry, there are areas east of Terrace suitable

for alfalfa production.“Inland sections of

the Highway 16 corri-dor and the Peace Re-gion have historically produced alfalfa and could be potential sup-ply-sources, depend-ing on the processor's requirements (fresh or dried, protein content, purity etc.).”

If this is the case, then supply for the al-falfa protein extraction factory could come from B.C. as well as alfalfa-plentiful Sas-katchewan, a province that Mayor Dave Per-narowski said would be one of the suppliers.

Chinese of� cials from the Qinhuangdao

Economic Develop-ment Zone who were in Terrace several weeks ago to purchase land to build the factory on, as well as other planned factories, said they want to have the alfalfa pro-cessing plant up and running by 2017 or 2018 and are sending a technical team here later this year to begin design work.

The factory is to sup-ply 10,000 tons of feed-grade alfalfa protein annually for livestock and 2,000 tons of food grade alfalfa protein for human consumption for shipment to China and possibly North Ameri-can markets as well.

Could alfalfa grow here?

Mamie’s last project details ferry history


MEMBERS OF the Terrace Regional Historical Society show off Mamie Kerby’s last project, a detailed history board about Ferry Island. Above are society president Leah Harris, society secretary Norma Kerby, Elaine Temple, Sally Smaha, Helen Haselmeyer and Lenard Lindstrom.

See real life beyond the vacation resort

BEFORE SHE died earlier this year, Mamie Kerby had her hand in several projects com-pleted, underway and things not done.

The last project she was working on is now finished and on display for visitors and residents at Ferry Island.

The Ferries of Ferry Island details the history of the island and the ferries that ran in the Skeena, complete with several photos from local people and copies from the BC Archives. She spent two years researching the information and collecting the photos, said her daughter local biologist and Ter-race Regional Historical Society secretary Norma Kerby.

Photos include ferry photos from as far back as 1915, the Skeena bridge, the flood of 1936 that drowned Ferry Island in nine feet, (2.5 m) of water and various pioneers of Terrace.

It should be great for tourism and last a long time, posted on a heavy piece of alumi-num and protected with a cover that resists damage, she added.

The history of Ferry Island has largely been lost with people often thinking now that it’s spelled “Fairy Island” instead.

People don’t realize how many ingenious things were invented and used back in the ferry days, said Kerby, adding that the re-action ferries which used the current to pull the ferries across the river on a rope were a smart idea.

An official celebration for the plaque is being planned for September and will in-clude strawberries and whipped cream.

ITEMS THAT we take for granted are amaz-ing gifts to children in Third World countries.

Raeanne Colville, 23, learned that on her two trips to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, first in 2006 and again this year from April 26 to May 3.

On the first trip with her father and sister Rechelle, they went on a tour called ‘Outback Safari,’ which brings tourists out of the ‘re-sort life’ to show them a real day in a Dominican resident’s lifestyle.

That means going to a home to meet a fam-ily, see a typical work-day, and also going to a school.

“We had taken a few things along for the kids, because my aunt had told us about doing that. Although I was only 16, the tour changed my life,” said Colville. “I always said I would go back there one day and bring ev-erything I could for

those children in need.”When planning the

family vacation for this year, they decided on the destination to-gether and Colville was thrilled when everyone agreed on Punta Cana, she said.

Colville had been on the board of directors for the Terrace Youth Soccer Association in 2012 and 2013 and dis-cussions kept coming up about the jerseys that weren’t used anymore and how they should be donated to a charity so children could get use out of them, she said.

“When we decided on Punta Cana, I con-tacted Outback Safari and asked if we could do the same tour again so I could show my mom, boyfriend, and his family how amazing it was,” she said.

The tour manager was thrilled and agreed to let them bring five suitcases of items on the tour.

The Terrace Youth

Soccer Association agreed to let her take the 180 unused jerseys to the children.

“I can’t thank them enough for donating the jerseys,” she said.

Outback Safari put her in contact with the Dominican school teachers and, instead of the usual one school visit, they agreed that Colville could visit two schools.

She decided to make her own contribution to the kids.

“I personally made every child a backpack filled with paper, cray-ons, pencils, toys, hair clips, candy, and other school supplies,” she said, adding her mom and her boyfriend’s mom also collected items for her to take.

“I know how much these things mean to the children because last time we were there, the teacher told us at the end of each school year they erase every piece of paper in the chil-

dren’s notebooks for the student coming along next year.”

After they gave the gifts to the children at the first school, the teacher gathered them in a group to sing a song to thank them. The sec-ond school was having immunization day and any upset children felt better when they saw the gifts, she said.

“The children didn’t speak much English, but they knew ‘thank-you’ very well. One child grabbed me and hugged me for a long time and said ‘Thank you! Thank you! You are my very best friend in the whole world!’

“The kids were so happy when we asked to take a picture with them outside. When we had to leave the school, they proceeded outside and blew bubbles as we drove away,” she said.

“The things we take for granted every sin-gle day these children appreciate more than

words can say. I will never forget the look on those kids’ faces when they received their backpacks and jerseys. They truly acted like they had won the lot-tery.”

She gave some of the leftover jerseys to the two tour guides for their children and grandchil-dren. And the rest went to staff, who had chil-dren, at their resort.

“One staff member was jumping up and down and ran to the staff room to put his daughter’s jersey away,”

Colville will be fin-ishing her business de-gree at the University of Northern BC in Prince George in the fall and after she’s finished the two years, she wants to plan an annual trip to different places around the world to do similar

work.“I would recom-

mend anyone to bring some little things along on their next family trip to a poor country,” she said adding the experi-ences gave her a feeling inside that’s “indescrib-able.”

“There is much more to see in these Third World countries besides the beach and the re-sort.”

■ Wheel watchingJAMES THORNE, assistant track supervisor for CN Rail, pre-

pares to check the train’s wheels as it goes by west of Terrace July 24. He watches for the wheels to be blue or red, which indicates

they’re too hot and if he � nds a wheel like this, he calls for the train to stop so the wheel can be replaced immediately.

Thorne said he has to keep track of which rail car has the bad wheel or else crews will have to check every

Paramedic celebrates 25 yearsBy CAITLIN CLOW

CHERYL SPENCER just celebrated her sil-ver anniversary with the British Columbia Am-bulance Service earlier this month.

“It does feel long,” she said with a laugh. But despite the quarter century spent serving and healing the commu-nity of Terrace, Spencer shows no sign of slow-ing down yet.

She explained that her father was a � rst aid attendant and she had always been interested in � rst aid but it wasn’t until something went wrong that she realized being a paramedic was her calling.

With only a wilder-ness � rst aid course under her belt, Spencer came across a severe motorcycle accident.

“I knew enough not to move his head but I didn’t know what to do to help him because I couldn’t take his helmet off and he ended up dy-ing,” she said, “I knew that if that happened again I needed to know what to do.”

After that, Spen-cer joined a high level � rst aid course to add

to her � rst aid arsenal. In this class, she met some paramedics from the Terrace department who were renewing their tickets and they recommended she ap-ply. She got the job on July 7, 1989, “and here I am 25 years later,” she said.

Spencer’s job is a dif� cult one to say the least, but it does have its perks. In this case, it’s her husband. Cheryl met her now-husband Scott Spencer when he was also a paramedic at the Terrace station.

The two met while working together, mar-ried have two daugh-ters. Rylee, 15, aspires to be a psychologist and Amy, 20, hosts the Af-ternoon Drive show on a local radio station.

“After we had kids, we decided we shouldn’t be work-ing together anymore; there was a really bad call and it scared both of us and we thought if anything had happened they would have lost both of us so we decid-ed that we would never work together again,” Spencer said.

Spencer said that over her 25 years spent

in service here she has seen a lot of changes. From the introduction of sleeping quarters to styles of training and CPR techniques, to the types and numbers of calls received. The Ter-race BCAS receives 6,000 calls a year, she said.

Responding to that many calls could ex-haust a person, but Spencer said it’s the

feeling you get that keeps her motivated.

“It gives you that feeling that you did a good job and that you helped someone, you made someone feel bet-ter,” she said, “I want to be able to go out and help the people in my community.”

One of her favourite parts of the job is that she gets to see all the new up-and-comers.

She recently hired a for-mer colleague’s grand-son, “that’s neat to see the younger kids com-ing up and through,” she said.

“Always keep your nose in a book. Every-thing is always chang-ing, sometimes you’ll forget things, keep studying and keep up your skills,” she said, “you’ll never stop learning.”

Darlene (Dino) MarilynBrown

February 13, 1942 - July 14, 2014

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our loving & caring mother. Mom was born in Regina, Saskatchewan and raised in Wynyard, SK. Darlene was a former resident of Terrace, BC.

She lived many years in Alberta and enjoyed a lot of sunshine and blue skies. Mom had a great sense of humour that will be missed, along with her loving, caring ways. She leaves behind her husband Bev, her two sons Ruston and Timothy Holosko, her brothers Carmen, Bernard and Gregg, her sister Valerie and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, relatives and friends.

Mom did not want a service. She wanted everyone to remember all the good times that were shared with her and to be happy, not sad.“We will always and forever love and re-

member you Mom, until we meet again.” Your Loved Ones.

PS: Thank you Jan for being there. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a cancer clinic of your choice.

A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.

ANNA KILLEN PHOTO

THE LAKELSE Dragons at Waterlily Bay following a sunny paddling session Wednesday, July 30.

Lakelse Dragons let it ridePEOPLE WHO live along the banks of Lakelse Lake may have noticed a curiously chipper voice echoing across the lake Wednesday night.

“Paddles up!” “Take it away...” “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...” “Stroke, stroke, dig deep!” “Let it ride....”

That’s not an army regiment or an unconventional tour guide, that’s Carole Marcellin, coach of the Lakelse Dragons dragon boating team, leading her crew in drills and endurance tests across the lake with the help of a new PA system and her sometimes sassy husband Bob on the steer.

Dragon boating sees 18 to 22 athletes sit side-by-side in a large canoe, with a coach/drum-mer at the bow and a steersper-

son in the stern. Races run 200 to 1,000 metres and take be-tween two and four minutes to complete.

Forty women and men are of-ficially on the dragon boat ros-ter, with about half of the team meeting twice weekly to get out on the water for fun, teambuild-ing, and exercise.

And it is a workout. Veteran paddler Anne Dopson says that people usually think dragon boating is “a piece of cake,” and while it is an accessible sport, learning the proper technique takes practice and focus.

Pam Bibby, another leader on the team, laughs talking about a group of young men who re-cently paddled with the team who were shocked at the crew’s

strength – and had a hard time keeping up.

On a clear day like last Wednesday and with a full boat, the team was averaging a speed of about 12 kilometres an hour when going all in. Sessions al-ternate short one-two minute adrenaline-filled bursts, with cruising sessions and fun drills – like paddling backwards, which is harder than you think – in be-tween. Each team has a different style of training, and the Drag-ons appear lighthearted, spirited fans of healthy competition.

Typically there are a hand-ful of regattas a year that allow northwest dragon boaters to test their skills, but this year a num-ber of events were cancelled or altered, meaning the 9th Annual

Lakelse Regatta at the end of the summer at Furlong Bay is the go-to northwest dragon boating event.

The team is always on the lookout for new members – the Dragons hosted a beginner ses-sion earlier in the summer that resulted in a flock of new mem-bers and will be hosting a “Get Dragon Boating” Riverboat Days event tonight, Aug. 6, at Waterlily Bay for those who want to try it out.

Experience isn’t necessary and all ages and skill levels are welcome and encouraged. And if you can’t try it out tonight, get in touch with the team, they’re happy to take out new recruits or host team building events for groups or workplaces.

THE CENTRAL Interior Hock-ey League (CIHL) has made some changes to its 2014-15 season and there are no more free passes to the playoffs.

Because of the Houston Luckies' departure from the league in the upcoming cam-paign, the Prince Rupert Ram-page will occupy one spot in a four-team West division vying for only two playoff spots.

“With the [Houston For-est Products] mill closing, [the team] couldn't get a player commitment this year to field a team,” said CIHL president J.C. Brown last week.

After the league's annual gen-eral meeting in late May, the now seven-team league will play in one overall division for the regu-lar season but for the purposes of the playoffs, two spots are up for grabs between Rupert, the Ter-race River Kings, the Smithers

Steelheads and the Kitimat Ice Demons, and two spots can be taken between the eastern teams of the Williams Lake Stamped-ers, the Quesnel Kangaroos and the Lac La Hache Tomahawks.

The Luckies finished in last place in the West division in 2013-14 and won one game in their first-round playoff series with the Kangaroos before bow-ing out to them in three games.

“It's a tougher go to make the playoffs this year so it'll be in-

teresting,” said Brown. In addi-tion to Houston's subtraction, the league will now reduce the num-ber of games for each team to 16 instead of the usual 18 to account for the loss of the Luckies.

As for the technical rules on the ice, there are no changes from last season.

“That stuff's all per BC Hock-ey and sometimes as much as we want to change it, we can't,” said Brown. “It's all governed by BC Hockey's senior men's rules.”

Luckies fold, only four teams make CIHL playoffs in 2014-15 season

After a day spent walking across the boulder covered bars of the Skeena River the soles of my feet feel as if I’ve traipsed

across a bed of glowing coals. To make matters worse the big toe of my left foot is red and throbbing as a result of an ingrown nail that has become infected.

The humpbacks have just started pour-ing into the river. There will be a smatter-ing of steelhead scattered amongst them: summer steelhead unrestrained by the narrow confines of the streams for which they are headed and where they will spawn next Spring; animals hard to hunt down but worth the effort because they are fast and exciting. The window of opportunity is short and I’m not going to let an aching toe shorten it. I bathe my foot, clean the wound, and set out for Finlay’s Reach the next morning.

The sky is overcast, the day warm. I slip on a pair of neoprene socks and wad-ing boots. Because I plan to fish the Big Bend and the high water didn’t leave a log on the beach near the part of it I prefer, I slip a camp stool in my dry bag/back pack along side a thermos of green tea, a plastic box containing my lunch, bug repellant, three fly boxes, a leader wallet, clippers, elastics, a spool of 10 pound test nylon, a

roll of toilet paper, and a hemostat.

My toe aches when I’m on rock. Because of this, I stay on the sand and on small substrate where that is not pos-sible. When I reach the Skeena proper, I skirt the edge of the woods, weaving through the Sitka willow on a path of hardened silt. Oona catches a scent and bolts into the brush. Moments later there is a sound like someone rapidly inflating then deflating a large paper bag over and over again then a ruffed grouse bursts from the brush and lights on a branch. It takes more than a few strong whistles to get her off the scent, but soon enough we are back on track, crossing the bar via the sandiest route.

I unfold my stool, take a load off my toe, take out the thermos, then take in the panorama while sipping tea. The hump-backs are rising steadily. A seal breaks the surface where the river steepens. On the far

side, a black bear clam-bers over a root wad.

See the bear? I ask the dog. She perks up but it’s far away, so she doesn’t.

Not eager to hook pink salmon, I decide to exchange the sinking tip for one that floats. I rum-mage around in my pack for the leader wallet but can’t find it.

Must be in the truck or at home, I think.

With no option, I leave the sinking tip on and predictably catch a male humpy. It’s bright and firm, so I kill it. In the next half hour, I hook half a dozen more. Mad

at myself for forgetting the wallet and a lit-tle concerned that I may have lost it, I make for home. My concern is justified since there is a long trail of lost tackle marking my fishing career. I’ve left rods and staffs atop roofs and left them leaning against the side of my pick up then driven off. One Fall I left a pair of spruce oars on the Copper River and found them the follow-

ing Spring. I put the beautiful leather fly wallet I designed and had Don Horsfield make for me on a log sitting on an island in the Copper River and was fortunate to retrieve it two weeks later. I left an angler’s bag full of tackle, including an old Hardy St. George in mint condition, on a camper jack and drove off, and so it has gone.

The leader wallet had half a dozen heads, each costing about 20 bucks, half a dozen leaders that I paid 5 bucks for, and the wallet itself cost 20 bucks for a grand total of $70. I can’t find it at home or in the truck. After reflexion and reconstruction, I come to the conclusion that the most likely place I could have left it was on a log at the Potato Patch, where Doug and I fished a week earlier. The next day I make a return trip there. I take my rod and pack because it’s a week before that part of the Skeena is to be closed by the Gixsan. At the end of the two kilometre walk, a real strain on my still tender toe, I reach the log and find there is no wallet resting on it. I open my pack to have lunch and set up. As I rum-mage through it I find the wallet crammed into a plastic bag containing a roll of toilet paper.

I suppose we should be happy we found it, eh? I say to the dog, who’s too interested in my sandwich to pay close attention.

Lost wallet found

TWO NORTHWEST boys soc-cer teams finished strong at the North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) 2014 in Re-gina two weeks ago, with the U16 boys team breaking team records and claiming gold, and the U18 boys team grabbing sil-ver.

The teams qualified to repre-sent as Team BC at the NAIG after winning provincials in August 2013, and headed to Re-gina July 20-27 to see how they stacked up against teams from across the continent.

And they stacked up better than fine.

The U18 boys claimed silver following a hard final match that finished 4-0 for Team Sas-katchewan after besting Team Manitoba earlier in the round robin.

And Team BC’s U16 boys played a tough round robin and final against the other top team in their division, the hometeam Team Saskatchewan. The final was close, but Team BC never gave up the lead, and ultimately won 2-1 to claim gold on the fi-nal day of events.

“The team played with tem-po and grace on the field,” wrote team manager Brian Grant in an email.

Grant said notables on the team were Clark Mathews Jr., who scored in all round robin games, and Team BC flag bear-er Joel Patsey who scored a hat trick in the team’s game against Northwest Territories. And on defence, he noted stellar perfor-mances by Joshua Wesley and

Richard Hillis.“Great Team effort from this

team, destined to be together,” he said. “Coaching was also key to winning. Coach Chris Dan-iels and assistant Brennan Pat-sey matched their experiences and prevailed.”

He also made note of the ef-forts of Toni Muldoe. Muldoe “started all of this with her fian-cée Chris Daniels. Toni played a big part in organizing from day one. Her ambition and dedi-cation and manager skills are

top notch. Toni got the boys to Seabird Island, BC Provincials 2013 and organized the practic-es and rides for the teams, and deserves a gold medal as well.”

“We thank those who made it possible to get the team to Regi-na. The boys families, parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents and community. The boys were well represented on the team, many Nations in our northern area: Gitxsan, Haisla, Haida, Nisga’a and Tsimshian.”

Team BC broke records,

winning the closest medal count matches and slightly beating second place finisher and hosts Team Saskatchewan by one medal – B.C. with 160 med-als and Saskatchewan with 159 medals. Team BC also won both the Overall Team Title and the John Fletcher Spirit Award.

The John Fletcher Spirit Award is presented to the con-tingent that best demonstrates the spirit of teamwork, fair play, respect and integrity throughout the NAIG competition week.

Street crew patrols downtown streetsBy MARGARET SPIERS

OFFICERS KNOWN as the ‘street crew’ have returned to patrol the downtown to prevent crime at peak times thanks to re-sources being available to the de-tachment here.

The street crew, known more formally as the Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), began in early 2009 with a couple of officers who would spend their shift walking, biking or driving their van around the downtown area.

The patrolled area also includ-ed George Little Park.

Having a police presence downtown can deter crime and criminals, noted Terrace police.

Some downtown businesses requested an increased police presence to keep away trouble-makers. They reported that the number of incidents between po-tential customers and panhandlers or drunks had decreased dramati-cally thanks to the street crew.

George Little Park also saw an increase in families coming out to enjoy the park, noted the police at that time.

What started out as two of-ficers soon moved up to four for better coverage of the downtown and for longer hours.

In 2011, the crew dropped to three officers due to a lack of manpower with job vacancies and

maternity leaves. Due to officer numbers, the unit was melded in with the four watches in the sum-mer of 2013.

Instead, officers from the four watches would take time out of their duties to patrol the down-town with mixed results.

At the city council meeting May 21 of this year, city council-lor James Cordeiro said that the activity downtown was the worst he’d ever seen.

Also at that meeting, Hart an-nounced the return of the crime reduction unit with two members.

The CRU has been reinstated independent of the watches, for nearly a month now, said Hart July 17.

“There are two members full-time on CRU plus we have added extra shifts for downtown patrols during peak periods,” he said.

The unit is also focussing on the other priorities of monitoring people on conditional sentence orders, basically house arrest, or those on probation, added Hart.

“We want to ensure the public feels safe,” said Hart.

General duty officers are also doing foot patrols and talking to people to help out as they can.

And if the public doesn’t see uniformed officers around, it doesn’t mean none are out and about as there could be plain-clothes officers around, he said.
