MLA Austin hints at retirementSKEENA NDP MLA Robin Austin is hinting he may not run again in the May 2017 provincial election.

First elected in 2005 and re-elected in 2009 and then again in 2013, Austin says it may be time for a change.

“I was nominated when I was 46 and I’ll be 59 at the end of my term,” said Austin last week.

“There just may be a need for generational change and that’s OK and I’d like to do something different in my

last years of work.”Austin said he’ll be mak-

ing up his mind at the end of the spring term of the legis-lature.

“That’s about when the [party] leader’s office will want to know who is run-ning and who isn’t and that’s a year before the next elec-tion. They’ll need to start making preparations,” he said.

Austin, a community so-cial worker by profession, won the NDP nomination

in Skeena in early 2005 and then defeated sitting Liberal MLA Roger Harris in the provincial election that same May. Harris had previously defeated the veteran NDP MLA Helmut Giesbrecht in the 2001 provincial election.

Then in the May 2009 provincial election, Austin defeated Liberal candidate Donny van Dyk and in the May 2013 provincial elec-tion defeated Liberal Carol Leclerc – now the Terrace mayor.

Looking at his years in office, Austin said he drew a lot of satisfaction from his time as chair of a legislative special standing committee on aquaculture.

That involved an exten-sive travel schedule accom-panied by hearings into the issue of whether the northern coast area and other places could safely house open fish farms containing non-local species in the ocean.

“We were able to stop the inflow of fish farms on the

north coast and so prevent some of the effects of those farms on the south coast,” said Austin.

He is also happy he had a role in elevating public school financing issues so that there is recognition the system needs more money.

That stemmed from Aus-tin being the opposition crit-ic for education for a period.

“I think we’ve taken a big step there,” said Austin.

THEY MAY be marked ‘urgent’ but this mail delivered to Rose Mcleod’s home telling here she has a $100 gaso-line purchase credit is just another one of the many scams making the rounds.

New scamshows upBy JOSH MASSEY

THE CREEPIEST thing was they knew where she lived and how old she was, on top of the fact that they could have an illegal piece of mail delivered to her mailbox.

These were the disconcerting feelings Thornhill resident Rose McLeod had after twice receiving cards over the last week attempting to scam her – notes with a bright message telling her she has a credit of $100 free gas at any number of gas stations, and all she had to do is phone a 1-800 number to collect it.

It didn’t take her long to realize someone was trying to pull the wool over her eyes.

“I don’t have any account anywhere, I mean I have a cred-it card which I pay off every month,” she said of the thought process upon receiving the first scam mail.

It was the first time she’d received a fake message like this, and whoever sent the postcard-like piece of mail hadn’t identified themselves, which was another thing that caused her to take warning.

“I just set it aside and said this can’t be right,” said McLeod.

A few days later on Feb. 2 she checked her mailbox again and found another telling her to call a number and claim her gas credit.

“Today in the mail I got another one exactly the same. I called the police and they said ‘yes this is a scam’.”

McLeod happens to have another friend who lives on La-zelle Ave. and who also received the scam message, and she and her friend decided it’s time to get the word out.

“I don’t know what they are after,” she said. “They want something from us.”

The funny thing is that others on the street didn’t receive the same scam notices. But her older friend on Lazelle did.

“She is a senior citizen too. So maybe they are targeting seniors.”

Roads plan includesSkeena St. pavement

JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

RESIDENTS ON the 2500-2900 blocks of Skeena St. will have the option of cost-sharing the paving of their currently gravel street.

IT’S STILL some months before the city’s roadwork program gets underway but it’s already planning pave-ment and reconstruction projects.

This year, the provisional budget contains $254,000 for road overlays.

Council still needs to approve this item, but if it does so, the city says the new asphalt will most likely happen on the stretch of Eby St. in front of City Hall and the hill at the west end of Park Ave. rising to the residential section on the bench.

In terms of major paving jobs, the city is also eye-ing another local service area agreement with Skeena St. on the Southside to add structure and pavement to what is currently a gravel road.

But for this job, which would cost $1,224,000, the residents of the street must first enter into a cost-shar-ing agreement with the city via a petition. There are a couple ways a service area agreement with residents can be framed with regards to the length of time they can have to pay the city back.

Transportation is also on the agenda tonight, with a public open house happening in the downstairs of City Hall from 6 p.m.- 9 p.m., part of the city’s $75,000 Transportation Master Plan they are creating this year.

This study will create a strategy for, among other things, coming up with a plan to improve traffic flow on the Bench at Lanfear and Kalum hills, where new housing development is adding traffic pressure.

Another driving-related initiative this year will be the parking study for which the city has budgeted $45,000.

“The study would help to identify pressure points and times when demands on parking were highest. This information will help with managing downtown parking in the future,” said city corporate administra-tor Alisa Thompson.

Dry cleaner cuts footprint“HERE. SMELL anything?”

John Heighington swings open the glass-faced door of the drycleaning machine right after it has finished a cleaning cycle.

Other than the sensation of heat, nothing. Particularly not that faintly-chemical smell fa-miliar to anyone who has ever entered a drycleaners.

And that’s the idea. From an older machine which used the standard drycleaning indus-try standard formulation called PERC, short for perchlorethyl-ene, Heighington’s new machine now in use at his Spotless Clean-ers outlet in Terrace uses a for-mula which uses lighter-based hydrocarbon solvents.

“PERC’s been the industry standard for years. Eighty years at least. Actually, the first solvent in drycleaning was kerosene,” explains Heighington.

But PERC is going out of favour not only as awareness of chemical use evolves but how the equipment itself has changed.

“Now the industry has shift-ed to a tight, closed system for 100 per cent of the cycle,” says Heighington.

That, combined with hydro-carbons makes drycleaning safer environmentally, reducing haz-ards for employees and others.

“I don’t want our footprint to be any heavier than it should be,” said Heighington.

“It was the right thing to do.”This particular machine has

a completely closed-in system where the hydrocarbon cleaning solution is recycled and water and dirt pumped out to contain-ers for disposal.

From Italy, the cost was ap-proximately $60,000.

Heighington does expect the machine to be relatively under-utilized for the local and regional market.

“I’d say this will be used about one-tenth of the time com-pared to what it would be in Van-couver,” he said.

“We want to be a well-round-ed business offering laundry, drycleaning, what people ex-pect,” Heighington added of why he purchased the new machine.

The hydrocarbon machine is

also the first of its kind in West-ern Canada to have the option of using heat in the cleaning pro-cess.

“Heated hydrocarbon can take a stain out easier and the end re-sult is better cleaning,” Heigh-ington explains.

By his count, this new ma-chine is the 12th in a line of ma-chines his family has used here since moving to Terrace in 1966.

Not many northern B.C. busi-nesses can trace their roots back to the Royal Navy of the late 1880s but Heighington can.

That was when great-great-grandfather James joined the Royal Navy at the age of 13 and found himself working in a ship’s laundry.

“That’s where he learned the laundry business and that’s where it started,” said Heighington.

From England, the elder Heighington and his wife moved to the Bittern Lake area of central Alberta where they homesteaded in the early 1900s.

But they escaped three win-ters by travelling to Florida to work at a Tampa hotel, earning enough money so that James could go back to his beginnings by opening up a laundry.

Two sons joined the enter-prise, James and Frank, but they left to start a sawmill.

Frank then moved to Edmon-ton to work in the Royal Alex-ander Hospital laundry before persuading Frank to join him in a new laundry venture called Su-perior Linen.

James was killed in an in-dustrial accident when he was caught up in a motor-driven belt he was repairing.

“I heard he had every bone broken,” said Heighington of the accident.

The business continued until the 1930s Depression forced its closure and the equipment was stored on the family’s Bittern Lake homestead until the late 1940s.

That’s when a new genera-tion, another Heighington called James and brother Norman packed it up and took it to Prince George.

One branch of the family has stayed in Prince George to devel-

op a successful large-scale laun-dry enterprise.

It was Norman, John’s father, who took one branch of the fam-ily to Terrace.

Since establishing roots here in 1966, a round of purchasing of competitors and name shifts have taken place over the years, resulting in Superior Linen be-coming established as a large-scale commercial cleaner with Spotless Cleaners being the retail dry cleaning/laundry component in two locations.

Heighington has just fin-ished closing one of the retail locations on Lakelse and is consolidating his retail opera-tions in the Spotless building on Lazelle which also contains an embroidery section.

Operating retail services from one location makes the overall business more efficient for op-erations and more efficient for employee work time, he said.

TERRACE IS bearing down on its plans to help grow business in the coming year.

Economic development officer Danielle Myles is spearheading the initiative and told council re-cently about all the plans she has to speak with citi-zens and local businesses and then produce an up-dated version of the city’s economic development strategy.

In previous years such tasks belonged to an arms-length organization called the Terrace Eco-nomic Development Authority which the city helped financed but which stopped doing so last year in favour of making business growth an inside function.

Myles is planning a series of meetings that will focus on business service organizations, tourism and investment attraction.

The new plan is aiming to promote a buy-local mindset and points out that the number of business-

es here is on the rise, with 1,246 registered busi-nesses in 2015, a 10 per cent rise over 2014.

Fostering local business seems one of the main focuses, and also attracting investment to the Skee-na Industrial Development Park on Hwy37 South.

Other key parts of the plan include further brand-ing the city, dealing with contaminated sites and representation of the city on the Kermodei Tourism Society board.

Another key strategy is continuing consultations with the First Nations, with meetings continuing on this front as well. Of note, Myles plans to “establish regular, periodic meetings with both Kitsumkalum and Kitselas at both the staff and council levels, to fully implement the government to government relationship commitments as outlined in the coop-eration protocol agreements. It’s really just going another step,” she said. Myles expect to have a first version of the plan done by early spring.

CALEDONIA SENIOR Secondary School is moving to increase its support of Grade 10 students after discovering a number of students in that grade are struggling with the challenges of the graduation program.

“We’ve noticed that our Grade 10s as a collective are coming to us, many of them, with gaps in their learning, and with signifi-cant issues and struggles,” said Caledonia principal Keith Axelson. “We’ve recognized that we need to do a little more to support them as they enter the grad program.”

Caledonia’s 2015-2016 school growth plan highlights the same significant gaps and challenges facing Grade 10s, specifying the gaps are “particularly in literacy, math and science areas.”

Axelson said Caledonia has focused on Grade 10 since fall 2012, when the high school expanded to include them. That shift followed the 2011 closure of Thornhill Ju-nior Secondary School and the subsequent shift of students. Skeena converted from a Grade 8-10 junior secondary school into a middle school by adding Grade 7, and Grade 10s were moved to Caledonia.

Before that, Axelson said students “com-ing to us in Grade 11 were one year more mature and already had experience in the grad program.”

Axelson said he believes the challenges stem from the transition into the grad pro-gram, with mandatory provincial exams, courses they must pass to graduate and grades that are recorded on transcripts. But he says the Grade 10 curriculum has not changed much since 2012.

“There is always a challenge when you transition from one school to another school, and then throw a new program in there as well and there is going to be a need to help

support kids,” he said.Phillip Barron has been principal at Skee-

na since before the shift of Grade 10s and he said he does not recall Grade 10 students having a hard time with the grad program. It is the transition between schools that is chal-lenging, he said, and that transition has not changed much for students, other than that they are transitioning at a younger age.

But Caledonia and Skeena work hard together to make the transition between schools smooth, Barron said.

“It is about the kids feeling like they are

part of the school and the school culture be-fore they are even enrolled,” he said.

So the source of struggles facing Grade 10 is unknown, but Caledonia is working hard to give support. In 2013-2014, the school started offering bridge courses for math and science.

“What they are is really preparatory courses for students to transition into a Math 10 and Science 10, so that they can build their skill a little bit and get a better founda-tion in those areas,” Axelson said.

The support has “had positive results for

the students enrolled in these foundational courses,” Caledonia reported in their plan, listing statistics which show that more stu-dents are passing Math 10 and Science 10 after taking the extra introduction courses.

Caledonia has also reduced some class sizes. Axelson said courses average 28 stu-dents, but if there are a number of students who struggle, sometimes that is too large.

“It’s a matter of taking a look at where your pressure points are,” he said. “It chang-es year to year depending on the students that you have and the timetable.”

Third, Caledonia started the Kermode Success Program in 2012 to help any First Nations students who struggle with courses and workload. It is a course-block dedicated to working on other courses or correspon-dence with help from a teacher as needed. Axelson said if a student is struggling in sev-eral courses, the teachers, student and par-ents may agree to provide a Kermode Suc-cess block to replace one of the courses they are struggling in, to give that extra support and help them salvage their other courses.

“We’ve still got lots of room to improve, but we’ve seen some good results with kids staying in school and not dropping out,” Axelson said, adding that there are also more students passing their courses.

Despite the support, Caledonia said in their plan “we also recognized that too many of our Grade 10 students are not engaged in their learning, and do not demonstrate a level of commitment and ownership necessary to achieve success in the graduation program.”

Though that issue extends beyond the school, Caledonia is seeking to do what they can to address that problem through Re-sponse to Intervention (RTI), which is an ap-proach to education meant to boost student engagement, understanding and support (See other stories on this page).


Strategic teachingSecondary school intervenes early for student success

CALEDONIA STUDENTS Michael Demelo, Dawson Hess, Brendan Hubbard, Au-brey Reiter, and Kody Hawkins in the Resource Room, where students can go to do their course work and get extra support in their studies.

ALL SCHOOLS in the Coast Mountains School District are analyzing their teaching strategies with the goal of strengthening their education for all students.

The school district is encouraging an ap-proach to education called Response to Inter-vention (RTI), where teachers prioritize what needs to be taught, teach from different angles and identify struggling students early and inter-vene with support.

The RTI system has spread across school districts in United States and Canada, and an academic study and review in 2005 raved about the compelling evidence of its success (Burns, Appleton, Stehouwer).

The RTI system includes three tiers:(1) Strong curriculum to help all students

thrive. Teachers focus on key outcomes, demon-strate concepts in multiple ways (differentiation of learning) and check regularly with students to ensure understanding (formative assessment).

(2) Early intervention with supports for stu-dents who are struggling. Students identified early and then given opportunity for extra help and time to understand a concept and then pick up with the rest of the class.

(3) More intensive supports for students with significant gaps in understanding or challenges in learning.

Assess to strengthen educationA strong approach

By JACKIE LIEUWEN

CALEDONIA SECONDARY School is focusing on strengthening their education strategies as they review their approach to education in light of the recently intro-duced system called Response to Inter-vention (See story on left).

Principal Keith Axelson said they have a lot of strong teachers who are already using many of the RTI strategies.

“Lots of our teachers are already very good at supporting students and differen-tiating their instruction,” he said, adding that they are reviewing and looking for gaps and ways to adjust and improve.

This year the focus of the school is on bolstering classroom teaching for all stu-dents (tier one).

Axelson and vice-principal Jane Ar-buckle are guiding the implementation of the RTI ideas, organizing and focusing staff meetings around various classroom strategies.

Two groups of teachers formed book clubs in 2013 when RTI was first intro-duced, and they read up on the strategies and share the ideas with staff.

In 2013-2014, Caledonia focused on formative assessment, which is about checking frequently with students to en-sure they are understanding the topics be-ing covered.

A6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, February 10, 2016 Terrace Standard

Each day looks more like spring is just around the corner. Soon it will be time

to haul out the lawn mower and prepare to mow grass once more.

Mowing grass, like snow shovelling, can be enjoy-able in its own punishing way when done in 30 minute spurts with no deadline.

This winter, four of my neighbours kindly cleared my outer driveway whenever snow fell, help I sincerely appreciate.

The winter months have given me time to brace for summer chores and one idea nudges my thoughts more each day – that I should ac-quire a pygmy goat to take over lawn mowing.

I’ve had enough experi-ence with a regular sized nanny to know goats are me-ticulous grazers, nip every blade leaving no unsightly scruffy patches.

They also prune trees and shrubs as high as they can reach, sometimes even climbing up a sturdy branch to highmark like a snow-mobile on a steep mountain slope.

Feeding a goat costs far less than a dog. They are qui-

et except for an occasional bleat and don’t bark when-ever a garbage truck arrives or clangs cans.

Goats never bite visitors which reduces the problem of getting to the gate to greet a visitor before the animal does.

Their manure fertilizes vegetation but never has any-one had to scrape a clump of it off their shoe, nor would I have to pick up the yard with a rake and shovel several times a week.

They are clean, require no grooming, and don’t smell. Neighbours who object to nanny goats use odour as an excuse to call in the by-law

of cer but those complaints are based on imagination, not actual fact.

Regional district animal bylaws seemed insurmount-able to me until I read several articles this week that sug-gest an out, beginning with a person who ew on an airline with a turkey in his lap.

Legal restrictions (at least in the U.S.) limit emotional support animals to trained and certi ed dogs and minia-ture horses as the only live-stock that can accompany owners on ights and in pub-lic places such as restaurants; however, claiming a wider range of animals as worthy of free ights under the guise they are necessary to calm jitters is trending.

The Americans with Dis-abilities Act allows ticket agents and maitre’d’s to ask someone with a service ani-mal only two questions.

Is the animal required be-cause of a disability? What work or task has the animal been trained to perform? Speci c questions about a person’s disability are off limits.

Though legitimate agen-cies and trained animals ex-ist, too often a letter from a doctor and paying an on-line

agency a substantial fee can be enough to get fake cre-dentials to ash successfully in the face of a skeptic gate-keeper.

A New Yorker article written by Patricia Marx published in the October 20, 2014 issue had me in stitch-es.

To test how easily ordi-nary animals can pass as certi ed emotional supports, Marx borrowed a 15 pound turtle; a 26 pound Royal Palm turkey; a 30 inch Mexi-can milk snake; a 26 pound pot bellied pig; and a 4 1/2 foot tall 105 pound alpaca.

With the turtle in tow she toured the Frick Collection art museum in New York City, took it to a high end deli, to a nail salon, and to a funeral chapel to make its funeral arrangements.

Shed then visited a histor-ical museum with the alpaca, ew the pig to Boston where it grazed the Boston Com-mon before catching a cab, rode a bus with the turkey, reserved tables in high places and shared tea.

New York and Boston didn’t turn up their nose. Surely the regional district can accept the reality of one pygmy goat.

This really gets her goat

‘Yes’ or ‘no’

WHO gets to say ‘yes’ and who gets to say ‘no’? And is a ‘yes’ a ‘yes’ and a ‘no,’ ‘no’?

It is the central issue regarding ab-original rights and title concerning large-scale northwestern B.C. indus-trial development and the latest ash point is the Lelu Island location for the planned NorthWest LNG plant.

On one side are ve Tsimshian First Nations whose elected leadership is working through the environmental aspects of the development based on asserted marine rights in the area of the mouth of the Skeena River. On the other is one Tsimshian First Na-tion, the Lax Kw’allams, who claim the island itself and whose elected and hereditary representatives have already said ‘no’ over worries of the plant’s export terminal effect on salmon populations.

The reality of differences in opin-ion or philosophy should be no surprise. It is like that everywhere where there are competing interests.

The challenge is to nd an impar-tial and comprehensive decision-making structure within the north-western B.C. aboriginal community and accepted by all where the ‘no’ can accept a ‘yes’ or the ‘yes’ can accept a ‘no’.

To a large degree that is already the case within the Haisla terri-tory, within the Tahltan territory and within the Nisga’a treaty lands where, despite competing interests, ‘yes’ and ‘no’ industrial decisions are being made with the assurance of certainty.

The Mail Bag

Let’s not spend just for the sake of it

Terrace Standard Wednesday, February 10, 2016 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7

An uncontroversial prin-ciple of governance is treating public dollars with respect: whatever

a government’s spending priori-ties, it should always seek to get the best value on behalf of all tax-payers.

This process can take time, since assessing the value of a pro-posed program or project is rarely doable overnight.

Canadians should therefore be concerned that ‘how fast can we get money out the door?’ ap-pears to be the biggest question currently vexing the new Trudeau government in Ottawa.

Recent headlines have even suggested that finance minister Bill Morneau is under “pressure” to skip the usual parliamentary pre-budget hearings in the run-up to the government’s first budget, expected sometime in March.

A closer look reveals this “pressure” amounts to ‘questions from reporters’ together with self-interested experts urging more spending as quickly as pos-sible. The minister may as well

ask a panel of dogs if more bones should be handed out.

But the hurry to spend is only half the problem: also buried in this rush to turn on the taps has been a subtle, but major shift in the objective of the Liberals’ in-frastructure plans.

All of a sudden the talk is about “stimulus” – a word which appears nowhere in the Liberal platform, and was never intended to be the objective of the Liber-als’ deficit-financed infrastruc-ture spending.

Indeed, the minister himself has repeatedly stated that long-term growth is the government’s main priority.

So why is this a problem? Why not kill two birds with one stone? After all, if we have to build a bridge next year, why not just build it right now?

The answer is that there’s no guarantee that the “right” proj-ects to invest in are also ones that are “shovel-ready.”

It’s entirely possible that months (if not years) will be nec-essary to properly identify infra-

structure that is truly the most important for the long-run.

These considerations conflict with the very different objective of getting money out the door as soon as possible.

It would therefore seem rather obvious that one of the surest ways for a government to waste taxpayer dollars is to hurry to spend it.

The reality is there is no burn-

ing urgency.The government would have

us believe that spending a few bil-lion dollars a few months sooner will somehow dramatically im-prove Canada’s economic pros-pects. Does anyone really believe this?

The Harper government made a similar claim following its own plunge into deficit in 2009, yet the Fraser Institute’s analysis of Statistics Canada’s data shows that the Conservatives’ “Eco-nomic Action Plan” had next to no impact on the economy.

It concluded that the turn-around then in the economy was overwhelmingly due to increased private sector investment and in-creased exports.

The price of this ill-advised misadventure was six years climbing out a deep deficit hole, and more than $150 billion added to our federal debt.

The Trudeau government can reasonably claim it was elected to implement different policies than their predecessors.

So it is utterly strange that

their plan now appears to be to essentially cut and paste the Harper government’s approach – one which they (rightly) criti-cized while in opposition.

Infrastructure investments need to be considered carefully, prioritized and selected for the long-term benefits they bring.

Conflating this goal with “stimulating” the economy is asking for trouble, and a recipe for pork-barrelling and waste.

The Trudeau government should resist calls to spend faster, and focus on spending wisely.

Aaron Wudrick is the federal director of the Canadian Taxpay-ers Federation and is based in Ottawa, Ontario.

( Editor’s note: Skeena - Bulk-ley NDP MP Nathan Cullen is holding a series of meetings across the riding to gain com-ment on infrastructure priorities in advance of the federal govern-ment’s budget which is expected next month. The Terrace meeting takes place tomorrow, Feb. 11, in the Terrace Sportsplex banquet room and it begins at 7 p.m.)

MEMBERS OF the Lake Babine Band on a project to build shelters for firewood.

Biomass project an inspirationDear Sir:

With the world now con-centrating on reducing green-house gas emissions, the Ter-race chapter of the Council of Canadians, points to a north-western B.C. project as an ex-ample of what is possible.

The Lake Babine Nation should have the full attention of all in its planning of a three-phase biomass clean energy project.

It will burn wood chips to sell heat to government organi-zations, private homes in Woy-enne and community buildings in Fort Babine.

Along with providing train-ing and jobs, this exciting project will mean cheaper and more sustainable energy to the community.

This environmentally friendly biomass project will have all new facilities with

net zero greenhouse gas emis-sions.

Biomass as a carbon neu-tral renewable resource does help our planet remain within the goal of limiting our green-house gas emissions to global warming of no more than 1.5 degrees.

The Council of Canadians commends Chief Wilf Adams and the Lake Babine Nation for their positive approach to

moving on from fossil fuels.We hope the sustainability

initiatives will see the project through to completion.

Along with providing inspi-ration to others to plan a proj-ect based on clean energy, the Lake Babine Nation is show-ing leadership.

AARON WUDRICK

Dear Sir:About two decades ago crude oil was trading

at $20 per barrel and prices at the pumps were 55 cents a litre.

Taxes did not change much since that time but the carbon tax was added.

Currently West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is trading below $27 per barrel and Western Canada Select (WCS) is at $13.75 per barrel (a 50 per cent discount, as compared to a 20 per cent discount in the past).

Gas prices in places like Edmonton, AB and Calgary, AB are below 70 cents a litre and fall-ing, even in Prince George, BC prices are under 80 cents a litre.

On the worldwide scale there is currently an over production of over 1-2 million barrels per day and storage of crude oil exceeds over 1 billion bar-rels and is estimate to rise by an additional 260-plus million barrels in 2016.

That amount in storage means if all oil produc-tion, in the whole world, would be shut down in one day there is enough in storage to keep the world go-ing for almost 2 months before running out.

The US has inventories of crude of levels not seen in over 8 decades and one company is offer-ing to “buy” your crude if you give them 50 cents a barrel.

In context that would be the same as you and I going to a store and “buying” their product but the store giving us money to take the product home.

How long would those stores keep their doors open?

Now the question is if/when crude falls further to $20 a barrel for West Texas and below $10 for Western Canada select will we see prices at the pumps of 55 cents a litre again?

“It can be things that are really simple,” said Axelson, explaining that some teachers simply ask for a show of hands for how many students feel con dent about their understanding of a lesson.

Others have cups on student’s desks, a green one for students to display when they understand, a yel-low if they are unsure and a red one for when they do not understand at all. That way teachers know when they need to revisit a lesson.

In spring 2014, a group of teachers went to Fort St. John to learn about project-based learning, which is about students exploring big questions through interactive, hands-on projects.

Currently, the teacher book club is studying dif-ferentiation of learning, which should help teachers demonstrate concepts from different angles and us-ing different methods.

“It’s just recognizing that students can and need to demonstrate their learning in different ways... some prefer written tests, some prefer oral,” said Axelson.

But it is also about teachers diversifying their teaching to include things like graphs and photos, oral teaching, hands-on projects, etc.

It is “teachers making efforts to get that infor-mation to kids in different ways to make sure that everyone gets it,” said Axelson.

He says they are focusing on tier one this year because it is the foundation for all student learning, and the extra supports for students in tier two and three will follow.

“Until you are con dent that the rst level of support for kids is solid, and is being practised in

classrooms by teachers, it is hard to get a sense of what tier two supports might even be necessary,” he said.

“The tier two supports would be things we will look at from the data we generate over the next year or two, to say ‘okay, where are the gaps now that we’ve tried to address what is happening in the classroom?’” he said.

Axelson said education has a constant revision and review process, implementing new techniques, then reviewing them to see if they are effective, and then revising where necessary.

He says part of the constant educational changes are about responding to a changing society.

“Students today are in many respects different then they were 30 years ago. Technology and social situations are much different now,” Axelson said.

“The basic underlying premise is that you want to nd ways to make learning relevant and mean-ingful for kids and you want to nd ways to help kids who struggle, and nd supports that are mean-ingful and produce results. That’s the goal and that’s where you have to start.”

Axelson said it is great to learn the RTI strategies to be implemented alongside the new government curriculum, which will be open for implementation starting next year and mandatory in 2017.

THE PLAN by the City of Terrace to ban decal-like signs has drawn much comment on www.terraces-tandard.com. Some samples:

“We have an attractive walkable downtown? I’d suggest we have a few other barriers to deal with before we need to worry about window signs.” - Steve Smyth

“An attractive walkable downtown would have a better selection of stores, sidewalks that aren’t so rough and uneven sand especially in the winter when the sidewalks need to be shovelled off more often during snowfalls.” - Walter Fricke

“This is such a joke, David Block and the city should worry about keeping the streets clear of lit-ter throughout the year and pay attention to regular weed whacking of the sidewalks all over town es-pecially on Lakelse Avenue if they are so worried about keeping downtown attractive.” - Eduino Car-reiro.

“The City of Terrace has no business telling business what it can and can’t do as far as adver-tising legal products they sell on their property.” - Gordon Blakeburn

“The thing that is being not mentioned here is that businesses in Terrace have to pay for any sign mounted outside their buildings. I believe it is a yearly permit paid to the city, no permits required for decals or signs hung in a window. But they want to change that.” - Mitch Adams

“The City of Terrace should be less concerned about how a business advertises its products and services and perhaps more concerned about the loi-tering, public drunkenness and litter in the down-town core. It’s these issues that make our downtown unattractive, not window decals.” - John Evans.

“I have paid over $18,000 per year in business taxes the last few years and have watched our down-town look so dirty and tired every year. We have sidewalks heaving all over and litter up and down the streets and often over flowing garbage bins.

“Instead of repairing the brick sidewalks, we see paving patching our sidewalks. I think there are many issues ahead of window signs.” - Bob Park.

Oh, I forgot. Canadians have no property rights and government must take care of us, you know for our own good!”

Sandy Sandhals

TERRACE LITTLE Theatre’s dinner theatre has a director known for doing dramas and not comedies or dinner theatre.

Marianne Brorup Weston is directing Criminal Hearts, a play she’s been thinking about for about a de-cade after being in an-other play by the same playwright.

Weston acted in a Jane Martin play back in the early 1990s – she played a tattooed lady – and found the writing so exceptional, she started looking at her plays but never had the chance to do one.

While producing a couple of plays that her husband Alan was directing, she enjoyed the culture, camarade-rie and family created while doing it.

No one was step-ping forward to direct dinner theatre this year so she figured this was the time to put the play on and at dinner theatre too, even though at one time, she said she didn’t do dinner theatre.

What drew her to the

play is that it has some funny things and seri-ous things to say about life, in a darkly comedic way.

She describes it as funny with a real black edge to it and serious underpinnings about real life.

And she’s working with experienced actors which she said has been a joy because they just know what they’re do-ing.

Criminal Minds tells the story of Ata, a so-cialite married to a law-yer, Wib Winddust, who

cheats on her.She takes revenge by

sleeping with his best friend and he leaves her, taking everything with him except the bed.

She’s a “profession-al volunteer” and has never had a real job so she’s down to living on

Dr. Pepper and pizza. Ata sharpens pencils

to calm herself down and has many pencil sharpeners and many very sharp pencils.

Bo shows up to bur-gle her apartment and it goes sideways when they become friends

and decide to get back at Ata’s husband.

Bo’s partner, Rob-bie, who likes to wear cowboy boots no matter what else he’s wearing, is in on the plot too.

Amy Spencer is Ata, Cheryl Spencer is Bo, Garnett Doell is Robbie

and Andy Roth is Wib.Weston says the play

involves adult themes, coarse language and re-ally is not for the faint of heart.

Gun shots are also part of the play.

For more details, see City Scene on page 11.

THE CITY has lost a vet-eran who recently won an award for his role in France on D-Day and the Battle of Normandy.

Widar (Sandy) Sandhals, 93, died Jan. 4.

In 2014, he received the French government’s high-est honour The National Order of the Legion of Honour for his involvement in the battles and military operations of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy to commemorate the 70th an-niversary of those events between June 6 and August 31, 1944.

Sandhals was born in 1922, the middle of seven children, and immigrated to Canada from Norway with his family when he was two-years-old.

They lived in Port Ess-ington and his father had a gill netting boat and fished on the Skeena.

Sandhals worked on fish-ing boats as far north as Alaska, loved to hunt and

fish, and pur-chased an ocean boat to fish with his family out of Kitimat.

During the Second World War, Sandhals was posted with the North Nova Scotia Highland-ers and landed on Juno Beach in Normandy in the last week of June 1944.

He was wounded by shrapnel in the upper thigh and was involved in fighting at Caen and Tilly-la-Cam-pagne.

At Tilly, he was captured and was a prisoner of war for nine months.

He received the 39/45 Star, France-Germany Star, volunteer service with clasp, George VI Great Britain.

After the war, he got his diesel engineer ticket at BCIT and worked on an

Imperial Oil tanker that ran from Vancouver to Prince Rupert for six years.

He was chief en-gineer at the Terrace power plant until Kema-no was on-line and the plant was no longer needed.

Hydro sent him to Sand-spit, Duncan, Fort. St. John and then to Terrace where he worked as district man-ager and area manager until he retired at age 65.

Sandhals was on the Re-gional District of Kitimat-Stikine board for two terms and also served on the hos-pital board and the library board.

He was president of the Co-op for 20 years until it

closed, a member of the le-gion and the first president of the Lakelse Association.

Mary Ann Misfeldt of the local legion said he and his service to the country will not be forgotten.

“I am honoured to have known a gentleman like Mr. Sandhals. He was a quiet man who never ever blew his own horn but there was about him an aura of strength, honour and gentil-ity,” she said.

“His service to Canada will never be forgotten nor will his caring for family and friends.”

His family said he had a terrific sense of humour and always was kind and thoughtful, a true gentleman who loved and was proud of his family.

Sandhals was married to his wife Jo for 63 years and they have three children, nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

There was no service as per his request.

CITY SCENEFax your event to make the Scene at 250-638-8432. Deadline is 5 p.m. Thursday.

Half “Uber to be legal in Ed-monton after city council vote,” says the headline in a story by Michelle Bellefon-

taine of CBC news, posted on January 28, 2016. “Ride-hailing service will be allowed to operate legally starting March 1.”

“Edmonton city councillors voted Wednesday to legalize the ride-hailing company Uber, making it the first Ca-nadian municipality to do so. Uber will be allowed to legally operate in the city starting March 1, provided the compa-ny’s drivers are able to get legal com-mercial insurance. That process is still underway.”

How does it work? You request a car, an available driver accepts your request, then you receive a text message notify-ing you a car is on its way (along with it’s estimated arrival time) and another once it has arrived. Once you reach your destination, your fare is automatically deducted from your credit card. All you need is an Uber account and a working cell phone.

On your iPhone or Android, you download the Uber app, open it up and sign up for your account. The app will find your location via GPS and show you a map. All you need to do is move the red pin to where you are and then tap the green “set pickup location” button followed by the green “request pickup here” button.

Uber uses your phone’s GPS to con-nect you with the nearest available driv-er. Get picked up anywhere — even if you don’t know the exact address. Uber markets itself with the tagline “Every-day cars for everyday use. Better, faster, and smarter than a taxi.”

To become a driver, do I need a

smartphone? Uber says, “Not at all, we’ve got you covered! When you’re ready to start driving, Uber will have a smartphone ready for you, pre-loaded with the Uber app for drivers. You’ll be earning income in no time.” First, you “Tell us more about yourself and pro-vide us with the necessary documents to drive.”

The Uber driver requirements are about you and your car. “Partners must be 21 years of age or older and have a full graduated licence (no learner’s permits) in order to partner with Uber. Background checks are vital to ensure safety on the Uber system. All partners are background checked. Not to worry – Uber pays for all background check fees! You need a four door vehicle that is no older than 10 years from present day. For example, as of January 1st, 2016, driver partners must be operat-

ing a vehicle that is a 2006-2016. None older than 2006 will be permitted on the system.”

A curious journalist in Philadelphia found it almost impossible to figure out how much Uber drivers actually earn, so she became a driver.

City Paper’s Emily Guendelsberger says, “After 100 rides, I felt like I had enough to work with. Over that dura-tion, Uber would say I “earned” $17 an hour in gross fares. But subtract the 28 per cent that went to Uber and the 19 per cent that went to expenses, and I actu-ally made $9.34 an hour.”

There are different rates for dif-ferent cities, with Ottawa having the lowest Uber rates in Canada. The com-pany charges passengers there a base fare of $1.50, plus 15 cents per minute and 75 cents per kilometer. In Canada, Uber takes 25 per cent not Emily’s 28 per cent, and, of course, expenses will vary.

Do we need a Rural Uber? Appar-ently, we already have one. Working in Hazelton about five years ago, I was told that if a person wanted to get a ride to, say, Smithers, they would call the “underground taxi.” And I can’t re-member if it was in Gingolx last year or Laxgalts’ap (Greenville) three years ago, but I was told the cost of a ride to Terrace was $50 – cash, of course.

Using Ottawa rates for Greenville to Terrace, we get $105 for mileage, $10.05 for time, plus base fare of $1.50, for a grand total of $117. Hmm, if four people split the cost, that’s about $30 each, and the driver keeps around $62 for four and a half hours (there and back), so about $14 an hour.

We’ll need a lot of experienced driv-ers who can afford a relatively new car.

Faith focusMOUNTAINVIEW CHRISTIAN Academy had a spiritual focus week Feb. 1-4, with speak-ers coming in and other activities around the topic “Putting the promises of God into practice.” Pictured is a group of students by the theme banner in the sanctuary of the Skeena Valley Baptist Church, where the high school classes are run.

“The public is now in support of teachers. And that’s not just K-12, but also post secondary education,” the MLA added of the public awareness now concerning the public school budget troubles.

“Ten years ago we were second in the country in spending per pupil. Now we’re second to last.”

If there was one disappointment in Austin’s political career to date it’s

that he’s never sat on the government side of the legislature.

“I don’t think anyone goes into politics to be in opposition. You want to win,” said Austin.

Based on the two NDP byelec-tion victories in the Lower Mainland on Feb. 2, one in a riding considered safe and the other being taken from the Liberals, Austin says that’s a good sign for the 2017 provincial election.

A LOCAL man who won awards for bravery after helping save a person from a mudslide has died.

Murray Kuemper, 60, died Jan. 17.On Aug. 27, 2004, after a massive mudslide

crashed across Hwy 16 40 km east of Terrace, Kue-mper and others used their hands to clear debris away from a man caught between two logs and bur-ied up to his chest in a 250-300 metre-wide, three-metre-deep river of mud, rocks and debris.

He received the RCMP Commissioner’s Com-mendation for Bravery for his courage, bravery and outstanding assistance to law enforcement and he

received the Governor General’s Medal of Bravery.Kuemper and family members were heading

back to Terrace from Saskatchewan when they found themselves on the eastern side of the mud-slide right after it happened.

“I don’t think one person going down there was thinking they were going to be heroes. Everybody heard somebody calling for help,” he said following the rescue.

He said saving the man stuck in the mud was something he hoped others would do if it had been him trapped in the slide.

Medal recipient passes away

From front

Resident not fooled by scamThe messages have

pre-paid postage on them and are designed with bright red, urgent writing.

A Canada Post offi-cial said the corporation doesn’t check for the le-gitimacy of mailed cor-respondence.

“Our delivery agent’s job is to deliver the mail as addressed. Any irregularities or suspicious mail should be highlighted with law enforcement,” said Eu-gene Knapik.

According to the Ca-nadian Anti-Fraud Cen-tre, the federal agency devoted to document-ing cases of public fraud and also teaching awareness, there are a number of key things to keep in mind to avoid getting bamboozled.

One thing to ask is, “Does it sound too good to be true?” If so, it probably is too good to

be true. Then it is time to

recycle that postcard-sized inducement or

hang up the phone and report to local RCMP. More advice can be found online at http://

DEVIANT FIBRES owner Bob Erb says he has yet to be contacted by either the city or the RCMP about a Santa poster on display in his store window.

The poster of Santa wearing a unique style of underwear drew a complaint letter sent to the city from a visiting Vanderhoof resident which was then for-warded to the RCMP.

“I would hope the police and the city have other matters on which to spend their resourc-

es,” said Erb who was away from Terrace last week. “There’s lots of crime, property crime, to worry about.”

“I’ve told the store under no circumstances to take the poster down unless it is with my ex-plicit instructions,” he said.

“That poster, and others like it, have been up for months. We’ve had 1,000 people through the store and there’s not been a nega-tive comment.”

Letter writer Twyla

Thompson had said the poster can be viewed by children, something that should not be allowed.

But Erb said even more images of scantily clad men and women can be seen in stores throughout the city sell-ing clothing and maga-zines.

“What this is is sa-tirical,” he said of the Santa poster and others of a similar vein for sale in his store.

Erb noted that De-viant Fibres caters to a mature audience and is

not a place for younger people.

“We have profes-sional people, all kinds as clients,” he said.

Terrace RCMP last week declined to talk about the letter or any investigation.

“We typically do not confirm or deny inves-tigations unless there is an investigational or public need,” said Ter-race RCMP Constable Angela Rabut, adding that details only become known should charges be eventually laid.

THE CITY’S only extreme weather shelter has been operating at about half of its capacity since it first opened for the colder weather season last October.

Latest statistics indicate the 20-bed shelter had 1,201 stays since Oct. 9, 2015 up until Feb. 4 and an average capacity of just over 10 clients per night.

The shelter only opens those nights when the weather is considered extreme and from its open-ing day until Feb. 4, that worked out to 118 nights.

The shelter is located at the All Nations Cen-tre on Sparks St. and operated by the Ksan House Society under a contract from the provincial BC Housing agency.

In turn, the Ksan House Society leases the space from the non-profit agency which owns the build-ing and sets up cots in the building’s main room for the overnight periods.

Extreme weather shelters normally open as of Nov. 1 each year but the one here opened early in response to weather conditions and demand. They are sometimes called “damp shelters” because peo-ple who have been drinking are allowed in although they must surrender any alcohol before entering.

According to one man interviewed at the All Na-tions Centre, the extreme shelter is a welcome addi-tion to the other services at the centre.

“We are pretty lucky in Terrace to have this,” he said of the All Nations Centre building. It’s owned by the Seventh-day Adventist-sponsored Bread of Life Society which offers a lunch each Sunday.

And on weekdays, it is rented to the Terrace and District Community Services Society which pro-vides food and other services.

Local Syrian refugee effort expandsTHE GROUP looking to sponsor the settle-ment Syrian refugee families here has ex-panded its efforts.

From one sponsor-ship group for one family, there are now two groups, one of pri-vate citizens and the other made up of local churches, says organiz-er Sasa Loggin.

She’s with the Ter-race Sponsors Syrian Refugee Families um-brella group.

Within that group are the two private ones called Groups of Five under federal settlement regulations although they can contain more members.

The first Group of Five has already re-ceived a list of poten-tial families but has yet to have one assigned to it.

And this group is now part of a program in which the federal government will cover half of the costs of the family for its first year here.

This program, called the blended visa pro-gram, was recently ex-panded to assist in the settlement of Syrian families.

Loggin said the first Group of Five already has donated accommo-dation lined up and is thinking of a family of four while the second group is just forming so it’s looking at sponsor-ing a single person or small family.

The two Groups of Five have discussed working together so that the people each would bring in are related.

People older than age 18 are not consid-ered as part of a family so they might get sepa-rated from relatives, added Loggin as a rea-son for the two groups to work together.

The list the first Group of Five received

only had one or two families of four and the others were seven-member families or more, which is too big to consider, she added.

The group was sup-posed to pick four fami-

lies on the list to possi-bly sponsor but it hasn’t yet because of that, said Loggin.

“Maybe it will take us a little longer but when families come here, they will have

that community support since we’re all working together,” said Loggin, adding the whole pro-cess is very exciting.

The umbrella group staged an evening of music Feb. 6 to raise

money.And late last week,

Loggin and others were heading down to Kiti-mat for a class in Ara-bic.

“I think even if we learn a few words to

welcome them,” she said, adding she was thinking about get-ting local businesses involved so they could learn a bit about Syria and be prepared for the families.

Last weekend, the group held a fundraiser, Songs for Peace, to add to the donations already raised of about $7,000, which will go toward the costs of supporting a family for a year.

Hwy16 project remains on trackREGARDLESS OF how the new federal Liberal government is going to follow through on its election promise of spending more on infrastructure projects, a significant northwest B.C. one is moving along.

Construction of an overpass over the CN tracks now crossing Hwy16 between Ter-race and Prince Rupert was announced late last July, immediately be-fore the start of the fed-eral election campaign.

The estimated $37 million cost is to be di-vided between the prov-ince at $19.5 million and the federal govern-ment at $17.5 million.

That federal contri-bution came from the New Canada Building Fund and it continues to this day despite a change in government.

“The project funding remains the same,” said a statement from the provincial transporta-tion ministry.

The overpass project and $4.4 million to help finance the ongoing ex-pansion of Northwest Regional Airport, also announced just before the federal election, are contained on the website of the federal Infrastructure Canada department.

In the meantime, engineering and design work are underway.

“The engineering team is currently per-forming geotechnical investigation work on

site that will be used as part of the design pro-cess,” said the provin-cial transportation min-istry statement.

The ministry is han-dling the construction work and in turn will be reimbursed by the fed-eral government.

“The overall project remains on schedule for a late fall 2016 tender, with construction be-ginning in early 2017 and project completion by the end of 2018,” the provincial statement said.

With an increase in infrastructure spend-ing expected when the

federal Liberal govern-ment releases its first budget next month, Skeena – Bulkley NDP MP Nathan Cullen is touring the riding ask-ing locals for their pri-orities.

“I hear a lot about high speed and the in-ternet,” said Cullen. “That’s important for this riding and its rural areas.”

His infrastructure session in Terrace takes place Feb. 11, tomor-row, in the arena ban-quet room beginning at 7 p.m. Kitimat and Prince Rupert are also on Cullen’s list.

A PRINCE GEORGE firm, R.F. Bin-nie and Associates Ltd., has taken a top award from the provincial trans-portation ministry for its design work into the just-finished Sande Overpass reconstruction project.

The award for design work and contract preparation was part of the ministry’s 12th annual Deputy Min-ister’s Consulting Engineers Awards.

A provincial press release indicat-ed the firm was awarded a $300,000 contract for the project to improve traffic flow and safety at the T-in-tersection where the overpass meets Keith Ave.

“R.F. Binnie and Associates pre-sented several different concepts and then completed detailed design ahead of schedule, allowing construction to start before the fall weather set in,” the release continued.

“In addition to grading, drainage, municipal utilities, paving, and elec-trical elements, their design work included simulations of vehicle and pedestrian traffic for the two design

concepts.”These simulations showed existing

conditions as well as future traffic in-creases, and were instrumental in fa-cilitating both stakeholder input and the decision making process.”

Transportation minister Todd Stone said the award showcases “the excellent teamwork, forthright ap-proach to challenges, and adaptability demonstrated by R.F. Binnie and As-sociates ...”

The Deputy Minister’s Consulting Engineers Awards recognize techni-cal excellence in consulting engineer services that improve transportation infrastructure in B.C. Finalists were chosen for their work in 2015 in the categories of:

Design and Contract Preparation - Roads,

Design and Contract Preparation - Structures,

Construction Management and Supervision Services, and

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies.

The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation at BC Hydro facilities to maintain safe and reliable

operations which support the delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of

British Columbia where BC Hydro has operational or planned facilities such as electrical substations, generation

switchyards, generating sites, communication sites, storage sites, administrative buildings, or land owned

or leased for future facilities.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021.

Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual

brushing, girdling, hand-pulling, hedge trimming, mowing, pruning, weed trimming or tree removal), cultural

(gravel/hard surfacing, planting ground cover), biological (release of parasitic insects to control noxious

and invasive plants) or chemical (herbicide application) techniques, or any combination of these methods.

The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include:

acetic acid – Ecoclear, Munger’s Hort Vinegar or equivalent,

aminocyclopyrachlor and chlorsulfuron – Truvist or equivalent

aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl – Navius or equivalent

aminopyralid – Milestone or equivalent

aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl – ClearView or equivalent

aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, and fluroxypyr – Sightline or equivalent

aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl and triclopyr – Clearview Brush or equivalent

Chlorsulfuron – Telar or equivalent

Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent

clopyralid – Lontrel, Transline or equivalent or equivalent

dicamba – Vanquish, Banvel or equivalent

dichlorprop-P and 2,4-D – Estaprop XT or equivalent

diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive or equivalent

diuron – Karmex, Diurex 80 WDG or equivalent

flumioxazin – Payload or equivalent

glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent

imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent

indaziflam – Esplanade or equivalent

metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent

picloram – Tordon 22k, Tordon 101 or equivalent

picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent

triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent

Trifluralin – BioBarriere, Treflan or equivalent

2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent

Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with a herbicide to improve its effectiveness, such as:

nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol – Agral 90, paraffinic oils – Gateway, octadec-9-enoic acid as methyl

and ethyl esters – Hasten NT, or siloxylated polyether – Xiameter or equivalents.

The proposed methods for applying herbicides include: soil applied techniques (backpack sprayer, powerhose

or fixed boom sprayer), cut surface, basal bark, backpack foliar, mechanized foliar (fixed nozzle, boom directed

nozzle, wick sprayer), and injection (hack and squirt, lance or syringe) techniques.

A draft copy of the proposed PMP is available at bchydro.com/pestplanforfacilities.

Alternatively, it is available in person at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby; 1401 Kalamalka Lake Road, Vernon;

18475 128 Street, Surrey; 400 Madsen Road, Nanaimo; 3333 22 Avenue, Prince George.

BC Hydro, the applicant for the proposed PMP, is located at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4X8.

Please contact Tom Wells, Vegetation Program Manager, at 604 516 8943 or [email protected]

for more information.

A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development

of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the above address

within 30 days of the publication notice.

SKEENA BULKLEY NDP MP Nathan Cullen says he doesn’t under-stand why federal cus-toms authorities want to place a $100 mil-lion duty on a floating platform which would contain a liquefied nat-ural gas (LNG) plant planned for the Kitimat area.

Attempts to find an-swers have so far met with silence, Cullen said this week.

The floating plat-form which would be moored offshore in the Douglas Channel is part of the planned Douglas Channel LNG being promoted by Calgary energy company AltaGas and partners.

At an estimated $600 million, the project is one of the smallest LNG projects being proposed but also one of the more advanced because it would take natural gas from the existing Pacific Northern Gas pipeline already servicing northwestern B.C.

But federal customs officials last year ruled the floating platform is a ship and slapped on the $100 million duty using regulations designed to encour-age domestic ship building.

In this circumstance the platform would be built at an Asian site and towed across the Pacific.

AltaGas has appealed the ruling, saying the plat-form does not have the characteristics of a naviga-ble vessel and have been waiting for the results of the appeal since late last fall.

In a letter sent late last December to federal pub-lic safety minister Ralph Goodale, Cullen noted that the duty would add to the cost of the project.

“This represents a tremendous barrier for this small-scale but important project, which has strong support from local communities and First Nations,” wrote Cullen to Goodale who is responsible for the Canadian Border Service Agency.

Cullen now says he’ll redouble efforts to find out what is happening.

“It would seem there is a relatively easy fix,” said Cullen this week in emphasizing that im-porting the planned floating platform for Douglas Channel LNG would not contravene the reasoning behind the customs duty provision which is to pro-tect Canadian shipbuilders.

“There’s some urgency. Here we have a project which has a lot of [local] support. You’d think the government would be in support at a time when there isn’t a lot of economic activity,” said Cullen.

Last fall when AltaGas officials announced they were appealing the duty decision, they said it would also affect several other LNG projects planning to use floating platforms.

MP urgesfeds to easeup on LNG

ALTERNATIVE TAX & BOOKKEEPING

By KEN ANDERSON

Our Canadian flag turns 51 this month on Feb. 15 and the anniversary of its birth brings back memories. It

was not an uncontroversial or quiet arrival.

As some critics of the new flag commented subsequently, the only ones who fought under that flag were Prime Minister Lester Pearson and former Prime Minister John Diefen-baker.

That, of course, is no longer true.How many times have we seen one

of our soldiers come home in a coffin draped in the red and white symbol of the country he or she had served to the end?

Every such occasion brought a lump to my throat and such a deep sense of sadness, mingled with pride and gratitude for the service and sacri-fice of the fallen soldier and of his or her family.

I have also seen a photograph from the Sixties of our flag draped across a bunker in Vietnam. The bright red maple leaf and red borders on the white background obviously meant something to its Ca-nadian owner serving with the U.S. military in that conflict, which was not our war.

A flag has an amazing ability to evoke emotions, thoughts and memories. A national flag can and does capture somehow the values, aspirations and history of a people or country. Perhaps that explains something of the rancour and controversy which choosing this then-new flag generated.

Some Canadians clung to the Union Jack or to the Red Ensign. Those flags held meaning for those persons, undoubtedly having to do with their per-sonal experiences and the history and memories that those flags represented to them.

I recently heard on CBC radio a teenager, who identified himself as a Chinese-Canadian, explain-ing his efforts to have the Red Ensign flown public-ly across Canada on certain days of the year. Such is the power and the meaning of flags to us.

I saw demonstrated something of the emotional hold a flag – in this case, our flag – can and does have on us at a religious meeting where the preach-er was trying to illustrate the sacredness of a pre-cept he was elaborating on.

He took a piece of white cloth, held it up for all to see, then threw it to the floor and stomped on it. He next took a piece of bright red cloth and did the same, grinding the material beneath his heel.

Then he lifted a Canadian flag on a pole and

lowered it towards the floor as if to step on it. The reaction was swift and audible, a combination of unbelief and of disapproval and reproof. The flag never touched the floor, but the preacher had made his point. There is something special about a flag and everyone knows it.

I don’t know what your thoughts or experiences are associated with our flag. Mine are many and varied, such as seeing any number of Olym-pic events, such as hockey gold medal games, where our flag was front and centre. National pride, national joy, a sense of togetherness.

I have walked the beaches at Dieppe, Puys, Pourville and Juneau, and the ridge in France known as Vimy, and the fields of Pass-chendaele and Ypres, where so many of our sol-diers were killed or wounded, and seen our flag in prominent display.

I remember the gigantic Canadian flag which flew at Expo 86 in Vancouver waving majestically in the wind. I never tire of seeing our flag and see-ing it still elicits a response from me.

In the first few weeks of Canada having its new flag, my friend Fats and I were traversing an alley in our hometown. We saw the new flag flying from a pole by Bain’s Furniture Store.

I don’t remember what transpired between us, but Fats pulled a folding knife from his pocket and deftly cut the rope holding that flag in place. We ran the flag down, folded it and walked away with it.

That flag sat in a drawer for 10 years, travelling with me to Calgary and eventually to Vancouver. I never displayed it or flew it.

In Vancouver I became a Christian, and I re-membered that flag. I brought it out, wrapped it up and sent it back to Mr. Bain with a letter explaining what I had done, my change of heart, and a sincere apology.

Shortly thereafter, I received a letter in reply from Mr. Bain, thanking me for my letter and the return of that flag I’m sure he had long forgotten or ever expected to see again.

I don’t know what our flag means to you. I be-lieve it is different for each of us. But I think it en-compasses a sense of community, of the value of service and sacrifice, of the love of freedom and of valuing and defending what is good and doing what is right.

I can’t help but believe Mr. Bain would agree wholeheartedly.

Ken Anderson is a lawyer in Terrace, B.C.

Neil Francis Bazil ‘Lagiboo’March 14, 1949 – January 28, 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the pass-ing of our beloved brother, father, son, grandfather, uncle at the age of 66 years.

Neil was born in Smithers (Evelyn), B.C. on March 14, 1949, 8th child to Lucy Bazil (Verigin)† and Frank Bazil†. He lived his early years in Smith-ers, B.C. Then at the age of 14 years he moved to Prince Rupert, from Prince Rupert he moved to Ter-race where he met Joanne Peters (Johnson)† where they had two children. Neil then lived in Terrace for a period of time and moved on to Vancouver, then Calgary for awhile and finally settled and built himself a home in Moricetown, B.C. in 1996 out on Blunt Creek Road.

Neil is survived by his daughter Melana Bazil, son Melvin Bazil (wife Melanie, granddaughter Saaba-ya, #1 grandson Esyez), son Ty Smith, Briton Rob-inson, and his best friend Charlene McNeil.

His siblings are Violet Gellenbeck, Herby Ba-zil†, Kenneth Titus†, Charlotte Euverman, Corrie Goold, Roger Bazil†, Betty Ann Bob, Gerald Bazil†, Lillian Granley, Marlene Hale, Sandra Small, Ken-neth Francis†, Lawrence Bazil, Dolores Bazil.

He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews too numerous to mention.

A memorial was held on February 4, 2016 at the Moricetown Multiplex and a funeral service on Feb-ruary 6, 2016 at the Moricetown Multiplex.

The family would like to thank everyone who have offered their love and support during this difficult time.

A TERRACE minor hockey team, the Kermode Bantams, will face off against season rivals here in Terrace in the Skeena Valley Zone Championships this weekend, Feb. 12-14.

“I’m expecting a good show-ing,” said coach Phil Bradford.

“We just came out of a third place finish in Williams Lake, a tier two tournament. We are look-ing strong, improving every game it seems like…Our players have come together to the point that they are capable of beating anybody there,” he said.

Bradford said Kermodes have beat every team this season, but also lost to each team, so compe-tition this weekend will be strong.

With 18 Terrace players ages 13-14, the team has had quite a successful season thus far.

Starting out a bit rocky, with several strong players leaving to pursue hockey elsewhere, Bradford says they had an unsure roster and were short a second goalie. But the team pulled together and picked up goalie Kaiya Storey from Prince Rupert, who is the only female on the team and splits goaltending with Terrace’s Colby Jephson.

In the Skeena Valley league

against Kitimat, Smithers, Houston and Vanderhoof, the Terrace record is five wins, two losses, one tie.

A tier three team, Terrace has also won a Kamloops tournament and earned third place twice in higher-level, tier two tournaments — one in Quesnel and the other in Williams Lake.

Bradford says their strength is their team play and how they work together. “Every game is a full team win, a three-line full team win…every line does their job. They work hard, they forecheck hard, they back check hard, those are our strengths,” said Bradford.

He adds that it’s great to have committed parents, who provide funding, help with fundraising, and make sure the players are fed and do well in their grades so they can travel to tournaments.

“And we have a good leadership core [captains and assistant cap-tains],” said Bradford. “They stand together as a group, they work hard on and off the ice, they say the right things in the dressing room,” he said, explaining that they en-courage the team and correct and challenge fellow players in a good way... I ask a lot from them,” Brad-ford said, adding that he asks for their input into decisions about moving players around or chang-

ing things up on the ice during a power play.

The Bantam leaders are co-captains Quinn Mulder and A.J. Desousa, and assistant captains

Trevor Ebeling, Jared Moth, and Rhone Mann.

Quinn Mulder said a season highlight for the team was beating Williams Lake “in dominant fash-

ion” in their most recent tourna-ment, since that team is strong and plays tier two hockey.

Bantams drilling for tough championship

By JACKIE LIEUWEN

WITH A strong winning season behind them, Terrace WAKS are shooting for finals in the All Native Basketball Tournament in Prince Rupert, which started this past Sunday and ends Feb. 13.

“If we play the type of basket-ball we are capable of playing, then we could play Saturday night [in finals],” said coach Terry Mon-ture.

Terrace WAKS beat Kitkatla and the Prince Rupert Chiefs in a Terrace tournament earlier this season, both of which are among the top six teams contending for the men’s All Native title.

A club team, the WAKS won the Terrace Men’s Basketball League this season, with a season record of 28 wins, four losses.

They also won three of four tournaments they played in, earn-ing first in Gitsegukla, New Ai-yansh, and Terrace and second place in a tournament in Canyon City.

The team is mostly Nisga’a men from the Nass Valley, but also Haidi Gwaii, Lax’kw’alaams, Beo-thuk players and an Iroquois player and coach. Monture said they have very strong guards, strong three-point shooters, and possibly the tallest team.

“We have two big guys, no oth-er team has two players the size of Basil Morgan and Kenneth Mon-ture. We’ve got some size, we’ve got some speed, and we’ve got a lot of depth – we’ve got 10 players,” said Monture.

“It’s not going to be easy. We’re going to have to play the best

basketball we’ve played all year every game,” he said, adding that the team would be happy to rank among the top four, but are aiming to be finalists.

The high-calibre, double knock-out tournament draws 14 senior men’s and 54 Aboriginal teams overall from all across B.C. and as

far south as Ahousaht on Vancou-ver Island.

But the week-long event is “not just a basketball tournament,” said Monture.

“It’s a real cultural experience. All the Aboriginal people from the northwest are there. The opening ceremonies are just incredible with

all the dancers. It’s an opportunity for everybody from the northwest to get together, so it’s not just play-ing basketball, its seeing people that you haven’t seen for a while, getting a chance to go out for din-ner, just to sit in the stands and talk to them.”

Monture adds that the gym is packed with cheering people for the finals Saturday night and it is loud.

“At the finals last year, it’s just amazing… I don’t know how many people are in that building, 1,500 or 2,000, but the place was packed. It was just crazy… one of the nois-iest buildings I’ve ever been in,” he said.

The Terrace WAKS won 8th place in the tournament last year, and the team has continued to de-velop this season.

Peter Haugan, president of the Prince Rupert group that organizes the All Native Basketball Tourna-ment, said recently that the divi-sion titles seem to be up for grabs, with no powerhouse teams expect-ed to dominate.

“The Seniors’ Division is wide open, there are about five or six really good teams in there. They should push one another to be the champion. It should be a really lev-el playing field, different than what we’ve seen in the past,” he said.

At the sound of the shots, the im-age of fresh moose tracks in the snow beside pickup tracks sprang into my mind. Oona lift-

ed her snout out of the snow-covered grass and looked up the road.

“In the truck!” I commanded, then said it again more loudly when she remained transfixed. The louder order caught her at-tention, and she scampered across the road and jumped in the cab. As I slid my rod into its case three more shots rang out in rapid succession, then after a pause, a fourth.

After stowing the rest of my gear, it oc-curred to me that I might be in cell phone range. I took out my mobile phone and was pleased to learn that I had service. I phoned the conservation officers, got the answer-ing service and was told to dial 9-1-1.

A woman answered. “Hi,” I said. “I’m on the Copperside

Road, near Highway 16, a few kilometres east of Terrace and I’ve just heard seven shots. I think someone may be poaching a moose.”

“What kind of shots,” she asked.“Rifle shots. Definitely rifle shots. It’s

almost dark here,” I added. “I can’t imag-ine why someone would be shooting in the woods if they weren’t shooting an animal out of season.”

The woman took my name, address, and telephone numbers then told me someone

was on the way. After sending a text

to Karen that said I might be late for dinner, I turned on the CD play-er, waited and thought about things triggered by my present situation, like the time several weeks ago when I was cross-country skiing in the valley of the Zyma-cord and met one of the local conservation of-ficers. I expressed my concern for moose and he told me that last fall he and his colleagues had charged a poacher for killing a couple of cow moose in the Cop-per River Valley. We agreed that improved access was a big part of the problem. I suggested that the fact there were only a handful of officers patrolling an area larger than many European countries wasn’t any comfort to large ungulates either.

I also wondered what other reason, oth-er than jacking game, a twilight shooter on the Copperside Haul Road would have to squeeze off seven shots.

The Zymoetz River and its surround-ings seem to be a magnet for vandals like

the miscreants who steal cars, race them up the logging roads and then set them on fire, or those who dump broken appli-ances like fridges and deep freezes in ditches.

Two years ago the forestry companies put up new milage signs along the Copper River Logging Road, so that vehicles can identify their location and to prevent potentially fatal accidents. A few weeks later someone shot and ruined every one of those signs with a rifle. This winter the signs on the lower river have

been replaced with sturdy metal replace-ments. Some of them have been mangled by someone who appears to have fastened a rope to their poles and attempted to up-root them.

I thought about how it was sad such people roamed the area and distinctly trou-bling that some of them are armed.

As I was thinking, a van appeared.I jumped out of my truck and waved just

as the vehicle was about to enter the un-plowed part of the road.

It stopped. The passenger side window powered down. Next to it sat a young man. I judged him to be in his twenties. Next to him, behind the wheel, was a woman who may have been his mother.

I wouldn’t try it, I suggested walking up to their van. I’ve got four wheel drive and a shovel, but I decided against it.

Besides, I added. I just heard somebody shooting up there. They might be jacking moose or up to some other kind of mis-chief.

“Oh,” said the woman, “we just thought we’d take some pictures. Maybe we’ll turn around.”

I went back to my truck and watched the van turn, travel a few feet, then stop. The woman and young man got out. She took a couple of snaps with what appeared to be a cell phone. It was almost dark. I doubted whether there was enough light for photography. Next, the young man got out then walked past me and took a shot of the road. Dirty white snow atop a haul road in the faded light, I wondered why anyone would want such a photo. The young fellow returned to the van and the two drove off.

I took out my thermos bottle and poured the last of its contents into the cup. It was dark. As I drained the tea, I noticed head-lights approaching from Copperside.

Ebeling added that early in the season Kermode’s played in a Prince George tournament with only 10 skaters rather than 14 or 15.

“We completely out played two teams. That was quite an accom-plishment for us I think,” he said.

Asked what they enjoy about playing on the team, Desousa said winning is pretty satisfying. “It’s good to see everybody happy after the game,” Moth said of winning.

Mulder said that his enjoyment is simply playing the game, and Eb-eling added that the other big part is “being on a team with all of your best friends.”

In preparation for this weekend’s zones and what could be their final games of the season, the captains said the keys are eating right, hy-drating, and mentally preparing by visualizing themselves in the game.

As captains, they want to “lead the way by example,” Mulder said.

Ebeling said Friday will be the toughest, with two strong games in six hours against Kitimat at 2 p.m. and Vanderhoof at 7 p.m.

Mann said the Vanderhoof game is a key rematch, because Vander-

hoof beat them in zones last year, closing the door to provincials de-spite the Kermodes’ dominant sea-son, winning 82 out of 86 games.

“We basically went undefeated [against them] all year and lost to them right when it mattered,” Mann said. This year Kermodes are shoot-ing for the win.

“It will be hard, but if we all play good, we should win,” said Moth. “We just have to be on top of our game.”

“With five teams as close as we are, it’s really just about who wants it more,” Ebeling added. “We’ve got to go out there and give it every-thing we’ve got.”

Recalling previous away games with strong cheering against them, the Bantam leaders said they are happy to have the home crowd, es-pecially for such important games. They hope for a large crowd this weekend, especially 7 p.m. Friday for the Vanderhoof rematch.

Bantam colours are black and red, and there will be an award for the loudest fan. If they win, the team will advance to provincials in Smithers March 13-17.

THE NORTH Coast Nightmares are gearing up for another season with some new recruits and re-turning skaters eager to take their game to the next level.

“We have grown in numbers and determination this season. The team is committed to im-proving their game. It is going to be an excellent year,” says Coach Chris “Skimo” Thomas, “as a team we are focused on off-skate conditioning to improve our per-formance on the track.”

With two home bouts April 9 and May 7, two tournaments and one away game scheduled this spring, the Nightmares are focused and working hard to de-velop their presence locally and in the roller derby community.

“Last season our team gained a lot of experience competing against larger, more established teams. Some of our players have taken advantage of participating in events in the Lower Mainland as part of Northern Mayhem, a regional pick-up team, and that exposure and experience re-ally develops their skills,” adds Thomas.

The team is gaining increased community interest in the sport. More women are taking part in the teams’ annual Fresh Meat program that introduces partici-pants to the basic skills needed to play roller derby and the team was pleased to welcome new re-cruits as a result. Freshly bench-marked skater Kaili “Veloci Rip-

per” Abbott who joined the team last season says, “I love how you get a good workout and don’t re-ally notice it because you’re hav-ing fun.”

The team is always recruiting new players, referees and non-skating officials. Practices are held at the community gym at the former Thornhill Junior Second-ary School. Thomas points out, “having a full-sized, year-round venue has been instrumental in our team’s development.”

Stay tuned to the teams web-site northcoastnightmares.ca and their Facebook page for upcom-ing fundraising events and home bout information.

Catch the excitement as 60 Athletes and 23 Coaches from the North West (Zone 7) compete against the best in the province.

By ALICIA BRIDGES

WAITING TIMES for northwestern B.C. resi-dents who need to see an eye surgeon could be reduced by half since last April, when it took more than a year to get an appointment, to less than six months.

The Northern Health Authority has hired a second ophthalmologist to join Dr. Tom Nagy in Terrace, where most pa-tients between Smithers and Prince Rupert are referred for consulta-tions.

Dr. Beatrice Adante started working along-side Dr. Nagy at his clinic, Vision North, in November.

The clinic is being renovated so there is enough room for both surgeons to work at the same time.

Dr. Adante’s re-cruitment is intended to reduce long waiting times for consultations, which made headlines last year after Smith-ers optometrists raised their concerns in a let-ter to the BC Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons.

They were worried the system could not catch up with the back-log created when Dr. Nagy was on medical leave for several months last year.

Speaking last week,

Dr. Nagy would not say how long it currently takes to get an ap-pointment at the clinic, however, he predicted the waiting time would soon drop below six months.

In addition to re-ducing wait times, he said having a second ophthalmologist would help reduce the pressure on him.

“There were cer-tainly some big issues last winter and it’s al-ways been a challenge to meet the needs,” he said.

“I have a very great of ce and a great staff here that help me to function optimally, but now I am feeling there is a little more room to breathe and manoeuvre

now so I’m really look-ing forward to that.”

Dr. Nagy said a second ophthalmolo-gist had not been hired earlier because “there’s always been a situation where there was a lot for one person but not really enough for two people.”

Dr. Adante is origi-nally from Alberta but recently returned to Canada after 11 years in California, where she worked at the Loma Linda University.

“I think a more rural practice like this is real-ly good because there’s variety … it’s not the same thing every day,” she said.

She said she was aware of last year’s de-lays and happy to play

a role in reducing them.Northern Health Au-

thority northwest medi-cal director Dr. Geoff Appleton said the num-ber of operating days for cataract surgery at Mills Memorial Hospi-tal has also increased.

He said the surgeons had always made room for emergency cases but having a second eye surgeon will help im-prove the continuity of patient care.

“You can always get them much sooner than that if the doctor phones them, they will squeeze them in that same day or the next day or that sort of thing,” said Dr. Appleton.
