Fires wreak havoc on regionTWO OF the almost 200 forest fires blaz-ing around the province last week happened near Terrace and two other fires in town de-stroyed a family home and caused a bottled water company to be hero for a day.
The cause of all the local fires, with the exception of the house fire which is still un-der investigation, was burning debris falling from power lines.
The first power line incident occurred in the early afternoon on July 8, when burning material from a blown transformer caused a grass fire next to the former janitorial equipment store building across Greig Ave. from AquaClear. Scott Mitchell, manager of AquaClear, was having a conversation with a health officer in the foyer of his business when they both saw the flash of light on a power pole and then smoke rising.
“I knew if we didn’t get it out quickly, it
would spread quickly,” said Mitchell.He grabbed one of the company’s 18.9
litre water bottles and together with his em-ployees raced across the street to find a blaze about seven or eight feet in diameter, and be-gan dousing it, he said.
Terrace firefighters arrived on the scene after the fire was already out, and further doused the area to ensure it was fully out.
Then later the same afternoon, in Cedar-vale east of Terrace, a blaze started by Hwy 16.
This was a two hectare fire that destroyed a tractor and an outbuilding on a Cedarvale property and forced the evacuation of one residence for the night. At the height of the fire, there were 30 firefighters working and two airplanes bombing the site with fire re-tardant.
It also caused RCMP to close Hwy 16 for
one-and-a-half hours.Northwest Fire Centre official Sandy
Maclean confirmed the fire was caused by branches falling on the line, igniting, and then tumbling to the tinder-dry ground.
Then on the evening of July 9, a third grassfire started around power lines at Lean-to Creek on the Nisga’a Highway about 15 km north of Terrace,
“A tree fell across the power line and that started a fire in the grass [below],” noted Ma-clean.
Fire attack crews responded to the fire in a helicopter, but the three-person crew then had to wait for BC Hydro to respond to make sure the area was safe before extinguishing the 0.1 hectare blaze, he said.
Residents along the highway lost power for a few hours while crews put out the fire.
All these instances are something that
would usually cause a disruption in hydro, but they would not normally ignite a blaze, explained Maclean.
“With such dry conditions, what would normally be a non-event now has the pos-sibility to generate a fire,” said Maclean.
“The whole area is quite dry so we are ag-gressively responding to every call we get.”
In fact, last week’s scorching weather has led to almost double the average number of wildfires this year, say local fire officials.
As of last week, there had been 62 fires just in the northwest region which is almost twice as many as the 10-year average of 38 fires.
Fifteen fires were sparked in the north-west region between July 3-9.
The house fire that happened in New Remo started next to the deck.
Tahltan mining dispute erupts again Cont’d Page A8
By JOSH MASSEY
WE ALL know that history tends to get re-peated, but who knew it would happen this soon?
Tahltan Central Council President Chad Day said last week that the presence of a copper and gold mining company in Tahl-tan traditional territory 50 kilometres east of Telegraph Creek could mean a Sacred Head-waters-like struggle all over again.
This comes two months after the provin-cial government bought back coal licences from coal mining company Fortune Min-erals to ease a decade-long conflict in the much contested Klappan, or Sacred Head-waters area.
Last week, Day and four Tahltan elders
descended by helicopter into another area, this time Sheslay River where many Tahl-tan historically lived and where many burial sites still exist, to tell mining company Dou-bleview that they should stop doing explor-atory drilling in a wide swath of land.
“It may not have received the publicity of the Headwaters and the Klappan, but now that we’re coming together and have made a decision to protect that area, it could eas-ily turn into another situation like that,” said Day after returning from the Doubleview camp.
The Tahltan push to protect the Sacred Headwaters involved years of organized blockades and other disruptions, as well as lawsuits and injunctions wielded in defence by mining companies.
Alternating versions surfaced of what happened in the remote Sheslay meeting, with Day saying he received a promise from company president Farshad Shirvani that Doubleview would stop drilling for the sum-mer, and Shirvani posting in a July 8 press release on the company website that the company wants to resume drilling as soon as possible.
The Doubleview release calls the action by the Tahltan Central Council and elders a “blockade,” while Day described it simply as a visit and a stern meeting with the company after which the company pressed stop on its drilling equipment.
Shirvani was still occupied in camp last week, but in the press release says, “We have dealt respectfully with the Tahltan Nation
ever since we commenced first-ever drill-ing at the Hat in 2013. Exploration in this district has been carried out for more than half a century, and Tahltan Drilling Services has been contracted for all of Doubleview’s drilling to date.”
The release goes on to say that “Our aim is to resume drilling as quickly as possible...we are consulting with our legal counsel to determine the best steps to take to allow drilling to resume.”
Tahltan communications liaison Richard Truman said that Tahltan Drilling Services is a company once associated with the Tahltan Development Corporation but that the cen-tral council severed ties with it recently over the issues at Sheslay.

UFO cloud hovers above the northwest
BOB WALL PHOTO
A TERRACE resident took this photo on Hwy 16 while driving from Smithers to Terrace July 7.
By MARGARET SPEIRS
IF YOU saw a cloud formation out-side of Terrace that looked like a UFO, you’re not the only one.
Bob Wall was driving when he saw a cloud formation that looked just like a UFO and snapped a photo of it through his windshield near Git-segukla while traveling from Smith-ers to Terrace July 7.
He said he understands that it’s called a “lenticular” cloud and can form when the wind is blowing.
It looks so realistic it’s hard to imagine it isn’t a photoshopped im-age, but Wall maintains it isn’t.
David Phillips, se-nior climatologist for Environment Canada, said the clouds are real and are called “altocu-mulus lenticularis” or just “lenticularis,” and are also referred to as UFO clouds or wave clouds.
“It does look like a UFO hovering there,” he said about the photo.
These types of clouds are usually found in the middle atmosphere at about 2 km to 5 km high and they can look like lenses.
“It’s really a spectacular cloud. I really must say it’s one of my favou-rites,” said Phillips.
There are more sightings of them in B.C. than in any other part of the country and, since people think they look like UFOs, that could account for B.C. also having the most UFO sightings of any province, he added.
B.C. is one of the best places in the world to see these types of clouds, he said.
They happen when air blowing off
the water flows over a series of moun-tain ranges and is forced up, causing it to cool so some of the moisture in the cloud condenses and can be seen, he explained.
Then as the wind blows over the mountains and descends, it dries out and the cloud disappears, he said.
“That’s what gives them the lens look,” said Phillips.
“They start up and disappear as the winds die down and then over the next range, it picks up and then dies so they’re a wave of clouds and that’s why they’re called that.”
They can look like UFOs because the winds can change speed too so there’s a “piling up” and water vapour is exposed here and a little more above that, then the clouds stack up and look like pancakes or dinner plates which has a kind of UFO appearance, he added.
And these types of clouds don’t generally tell us what the weather is going to do.
“If there’s fairly moist air and it continued for quite a while in waves, you could get maybe a little drizzle,” said Phillips.
Although, on the other side of the mountains there could be some turbu-lence so commercial pilots will avoid it because it has caused planes to drop down, he added.
Glider pilots love it because it can help them map the wind and they can stay up high by riding the wave up, he said.
Sometimes wave clouds can be found in the prairies but the real spec-tacular ones are found in B.C., he added.
“It’s really a spectacular cloud. I really must say it’s one of my favourites.”
‘Booze run’ asked of policeTERRACE RCMP re-sponded to approxi-mately 32 calls for service from July 9th, 8 a.m. till July 10th, 8 a.m.
Among those calls included a report of an intoxicated, suicidal man. Police arrived and spoke with two intoxi-cated people who had just run out of liquor and wanted police to do a booze run. The re-quest was declined. Un-substantiated call.

What’s that?Newcomers might wonder what’s with some of the icons and signs placed around Terrace.
By ANNA KILLEN
You know you’re from Terrace, B.C. when...– You refer to the old Skeena Bridge by
that name, but you can also call the “new bridges” by their proper name – the Dudley Little Bridges named after son of city found-er George Little.
– It’s not just “the old Co-op lot” to you. You actually shopped at the Terrace Co-op, and remember � rsthand the political upheav-al that occurred when the city purchased it in 2005. Also, remember those cookies?
– You did wheelbarrow races for beer at Hanky Panky’s. Better: The Skeena Hotel was your local. Even better: You worked the door at Jezebel’s.
– You knew Bob Erb when he was just a marijuana activist.
– You shopped at the Cedarvale store and
post of� ce. – You remember the Playboy bunny, the
pot leaf, the Kermode bear(s) and other art-work on the bluff above the Terrace side of the old Skeena Bridge.
– You remember the Christmas coffee at Bert’s. Heck, you remember Bert. (Bert owned the shop from ’66-’68. Hildaberg “Hilda” worked for him and took it over in ’68. Richard, the current owner, is Hilda’s son.)
– You had milk delivered fresh from the Frank Farm.
– You’ve met Maggie Jo in person. – You know the story behind Gimpy, the
airport Kermode. – You remember when Carwash Rock
was even more dangerous._ You can talk about the old days of hav-
ing your plane diverted from the airport here in favour of landing in Rupert ... and then facing the long bus trip home.
– You know Tsimshian has a ‘t’ before the ‘s’.
– You’ve driven a vehicle on Shames. – You skied local ski hills before Shames.– You can talk knowledgeably about the
RCMP detachment being in a subterranean portion of city hall. Or perhaps you don’t want to...
– You don’t know how to use a three-way/four-way stop.
– You remember the original lookout tow-er on Thornhill Mountain.
– You’re � rmly on one side of the Gruchy’s vs Grouchy’s debate.
– You remember when Kermodes and black bears hung out at the dump.
– You’ve hang-glided off Copper Moun-tain and landed on the driving range at the golf course.
– You’ve had some nice naps on the bal-cony at the Terrace Aquatic Centre.
– You remember one ice sheet. Better: you remember no ice sheets.
– The best part of your week was when a young attendant fastened on your wristband at the hot springs. And how about that Can-nonball?
– You remember Santa Claus sitting out-side a certain residence on Hwy16 West.
Tiny TownIT JUST might be a bewil-dering sight to visitors step-ping off of the Via Rail train at the George Little House – a collection of miniature buildings just off to one side and laid out on either side of pathway.
Welcome to Tiny Town (above photo), a labour of love built by Jim Allen in honour of his hometown of Youghal, Ireland.
The buildings once oc-cupied the front and back yards of the Allen residence on Agar Ave. on the south-side and were lit up every Christmas. When they could no longer be housed there, an empty storefront at the Skeena Mall became their new home.
And when the mall was sold and renovations began, Tiny Town might have been relegated to memory had it not been for a diverse group of people including commu-nity historian Yvonne Moen and city councillor Brian Downie who secured the new location in 2013. Allen passed away in 2014.
Big BerthaOne of only four huge
portable logging spars of its
kind built in North America, the “large and largely mys-terious” showpiece that is called Big Bertha across from the tourist information centre is actually more tell than show.
Apparently this beast of a machine – which was sup-posed to be revolutionary in its approach to logging – was only used once in the early ’50s before getting stuck in the mud and shelved.
It stayed in storage for years before taking on its perch on Hwy16/Keith Ave. where it has stayed put and largely as is – this despite attempts to have it become the central feature of a nev-er-realized logging museum or by adding some big cedar logs to the structure to pro-vide some necessary context to the 40-ft yellow device.
The buskerEvident in many cities
both large and small, Ter-race now has one as well – a busker.
We’ve all see him but how many of us have stopped to talk? Reporter Cecile Favron did just that, reporting back that Brian Sears (on the far right) has been busking outside Source for Sports since the summer
2011.The Terrace Downtown
Improvement Association wanted people to busk and told Sears that Bob at the Source for Sports wanted someone.
“Lost in the Sixties”, he
does it off and off. He says he has even “been known to do it in January or Febru-ary.” He can also be found at the farmers’ market.
Brolly square Once a gas station loca-
tion, the property (right) on the corner of Emerson and Lakelse is known as a “brown� eld site”, environ-mental lingo for past indus-trialized use, when site own-er Imperial Oil tore down the buildings.
Imperial has opted for a natural process to remedi-ate the location and a deal worked out with the Greater Terrace Beauti� cation Soci-ety has resulted in it being used as a downtown public space.
The name comes from the fabricated structures on the site which are in the shape of umbrellas.

A6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, July 15, 2015 Terrace Standard
If it’s true the doves in my neighbourhood were released by a high school grad class, I have
to ask, “Why? What was their motive?”
Did the entire class have a grudge against retired resi-dents enjoying peace, quiet, and restful slumber?
Were they determined, if they now have to arise each morning to go to work, by gum no one else can sleep late either?
When the � rst doves ap-peared in our subdivision about � ve years ago, I didn’t expect them to survive the winter. But they did.
The following spring they were back teetering on my phone wire, and causing me to fantasize about shoulder-ing a 12-gauge shotgun with a glint in my eye like Elmer Fudd tracking that wascally wabbit.
Surely no one would in-tentionally raise doves in a backyard coop. Think of their monotonous “Coo, COO – pause - Coo.”
The birds use only three notes in a consistent pattern. Often neighbours complain about a goat munching grass.
Picture the list of com-plaints to Animal Control
about doves.They are too slight to
make a meal, unlike roosters which, though they wake you at dawn, have the good sense to give you peace the rest of the day and eventually pro-vide a generous dinner.
So where would someone � nd doves for sale? Kijiji? Possibly. Anything is likely on Kijiji.
Several displaced New-foundlanders in Calgary homesick for a traditional Jiggs dinner advertised on Kijiji for a New� e lady to cook a Sunday dinner. From 50 replies they selected one lady who cooked them a � ne meal of salted meat, boiled
vegetables, pease pudding, turkey, and lots of gravy.
Wikipedia describes mourning doves thusly: “They perch on telephone wires and forage for seeds on the ground.” This is exactly where my pests park. They sidle together on a wire and take turns vocalizing so the neighbourhood gets no re-spite from them.
“Their � ight is fast and bullet straight.” I can’t vouch for arrow � ights but they do move often like a tenant who owes the landlord rent.
“Their soft, drawn-out calls sound like laments.” All they’re missing is the back-ground drone of a Highland piper squeezing out Ashokan Farewell.
“Mourning Doves are the most frequently hunted spe-cies in North America.” Easy to guess why that is. Their three-note cooing is nonstop from � rst daylight – 4:30 these mornings – to well be-yond dusk. (Robins tune up at 4:30 also but they soon ease off.)
In fact, dusk enlivens doves like a drunk craving another drink; they realize they are running short of hours to irritate us. I believe in live and let live, and never
want an animal to suffer, but an unexplained absence of these two birds would suit me � ne.
How can they possibly have so much to say to each other? I imagine each dawn the female turns to her mate and coos, “We have to talk.”
And for the next 18 hours they do. Could the coos be a navigational app like the beeps of a killer whale or dolphin? Although whales and dolphins have, I believe, a wider range of sounds.
“Doves � y fast on pow-erful wingbeats, sometimes making sudden ascents, de-scents, and dodges.”
But even their dodges might prove futile if they’re targeted by a hungry red hawk. I once observed a red hawk pin a robin to the ground and within seconds all he left behind was a feath-er outline any taxidermist would envy.
The website goes on to say doves are particularly vulnerable to cats. Cats de-serve to eat too.
Maybe I’ll visit the lo-cal animal shelter and fetch home an athletic tabby with the honed hunting instinct of an underweight wolverine nursing several kits.
Constant cooing doves prove annoying

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988
LOCALS have only to cast their eyes down south to the central Okanagan for a glimpse of what’s possible when it comes to improving traf� c � ow.
For years Boucherie Road in the newer-municipality of West Kelow-na, right across Okanagan Lake from Kelowna proper, was a narrow two-lane road curving off from Highway 97 and then rising to the top of the area known as Lakeview Heights.
If that sounds a lot like Lanfear Hill (or even the hill leading up from lower Thornhill) read on.
After spending $2.6 million, the District of West Kelowna has cre-ated, thanks to combining work with other projects in that area, wider vehicle paths, sewers, water works, drainage upgrades, sidewalks, cy-cling lanes, retaining walls and landscaped medians.
Sharp-eyed readers might wonder about its � nancing given that West Kelowna is within the riding of Pre-mier Christy Clark. But no, $2.03 million came from the municipal-ity’s reserves and the rest from de-velopment charges.
Of course, geographic parallels are one thing as West Kelowna is sub-stantially larger than Terrace with more population and a much larger tax base.
But as the city contemplates future traf� c � ow issues on Lanfear Hill, those who encounter school buses and other large vehicles along the narrower portions of the hill might be allowed a bit of wishful thinking.

Government fails to act responsibly
Terrace Standard Wednesday, July 15, 2015 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7
“ Responsibility” is one of those common sense words that get bandied about in everyday conver-
sation.The word initially derived
from the Latin word respond-ere, meaning simply ‘to respond.’ Later use gathered into its mean-ing notions of accountability and obligation. To be responsible implies, at least to some extent, a social debt. Failure to be re-sponsible leads to negative social consequences, often including formal punishment.
Historically, Canada was es-tablished to embody a system of government that demands par-liamentary accountability and has been said to have a ‘respon-sible government.’ Decisions government makes are intended to benefit the health and welfare of Canadians in general through sensible management of public assets, defense of the realm, and regulation of public behavior.
Thus ideally, politics should be about the design, refinement, implementation, administra-
tion and regulation of policy. Achievement of these ends may require input from public and professional sources including philosophers, economists, engi-neers (both physical and social), scientists, legal experts, as well as ordinary citizens.
These truisms about respon-sible government have begun to break down in Canada. Canadian politics has increasingly been transformed into an elaborate partisan spectacle focusing on personalities and propaganda, a game in which the achievement of a parliamentary majority has become license to impose often predetermined policies that ben-efit a few at the expense of the many, and to base these decisions largely on ideology or belief rath-er than on expertise or evidence.
Governments are becoming less and less inclined to respond, either to citizens or to opposition parties. Despite ‘access to infor-mation’ legislation that is over 30 years old, governments have become increasingly reluctant to release information. In 2008 the
Conservative government ter-minated the maintenance of the CAIRS system, a public database designed to assist citizens to lo-cate specific data.
The Centre for Law and De-mocracy released a report in 2012 entitled “Failing to Mea-sure Up: an Analysis of Access to Information Legislation in Canadian Jurisdictions.” It com-ments: “Canada’s access to in-
formation laws seem custom de-signed to enable politicians and bureaucrats to avoid disclosing anything that they would rather keep secret.” Based on a wide va-riety of performance indicators, Canada places behind Colombia and Mongolia, 55th in the world.
It is shocking how frequently ministers are “unavailable for comment.” Like children hid-ing in their rooms until parental displeasure blows over, these of-ficials simply refuse to respond to criticism or inquiry until the next story in the news cycle displaces concerns over their current gaffe or malfeasance.
Canada’s current govern-ment’s policies seem to be based on ideology and belief rather than on diverse expertise and evi-dence. Jeff Rubin, former econo-mist for CIBC, commented that he couldn’t remember any gov-ernment that had ever focused on one area of the economy (oil and gas) to the detriment of the rest in the way this one has.
In parliament itself, opposi-tion MPs contend with massive
‘omnibus’ bills affecting dozens of different legal areas, bills that are rammed through necessary votes through closure with inad-equate time for study or amend-ment.
Harper has attended only 35 per cent of daily parliamentary question periods so far this year. The Conservative government responds through junior officials parroting talking points.
Propaganda? The Toronto Star reported in August of 2014 that over 3,000 “information servic-es” staff work for the Harper gov-ernment at an estimated cost of $263 million a year! Allow free-dom of information, free speech? Government scientists (Canadian citizens) must get permission from the Prime Minister’s Office to speak freely to the public about their research.
To parliament and to Canada’s citizens, Harper’s Conservative government is tiresomely patri-archal, dishonest, manipulative, and profoundly irresponsible.

NOW THAT the Frank St. Crossing has been installed, should CN still honk when they pass this intersection?
Time for CN to stop honkingTo Mayor and Council:
The newly upgraded rail-way crossing at Highway 16 and Frank Street invites renewed request to the CN/CP to end the whistle for the crossing.
The crossing is now on par with that at Highway 16 and Kenney Street, which is whistle-free. What argument remains, then, to maintain the whistle at 16/Frank? None
evident.The 16/Frank whistle, pri-
or to the upgrade and the in-creased traffic on the line, was a minor irritant but tolerable for the safety. Now that the safety equals 16/Kenney, and with the increase in night traf-fic, especially, the 16/Frank whistle is not only a nuisance but compromises property value.
Hoteliers near it already have to explain to angry
guests that there is nothing they can do about it; the same complaint, I have found, ex-ists all along the line, right back to Prince George. The major new hotel being built near 16/Kenney will not be happy, either.
Further, tax-paying resi-dents within earshot of the intense blasts from the trains, whether on Mountain Vista or in Kitsumkalum, would dear-ly love to be able to sleep a
solid night. To end the whistle, then,
would please everyone and upset no one, expect maybe CN/CP for the paperwork they have to do.
Finally, if forwarding this on the Council agenda requires my formal request in person at your next meeting, then please direct us on procedure.

Sandecki wrongto advocate finesDear Sir:
Justice Minister Suzanne Anton is accused of being weak kneed by an opinion piece written by Terrace’s Claudette Sandecki. I found it alarming that she considers fines the only measure for elimi-nating distracted driving. Hefty fines at that.
Maybe all of the other provincial Justice Min-isters’ suggestions for steeper fines are heeded due to the debt levels of the province. This correlation may not equal causation, but consider Ontario and Nova Scotia having $10,500 and $679 million in debt (RBC economic report, 2013). Their fines are also the steepest. Quebec is the only exception to this observation. Western Canada has a way health-ier budget and lower fines.
Currently ICBC uses a progressive system that’s fairer and penalizes bad driving behaviour better than maniacally steep fines. As of 2014, penalty points related to dangerous driving habits increased the insurance premiums of those drivers. A sur-charge is added that is called Driver’s Risk Premi-um Surcharge that starts at $395 for three years. So a driver is truly looking at $167 added with $395 times three. For an extra total of $1352 on top of their normal premiums. Don’t think drivers are get-ting away with negligence.
By no means do I condone distracted driving. I have personally suffered frustrations of unsafe behavior while driving due to distracted drivers. Many violators are busy people, their lifestyle hab-its are more to blame than their willful disobedi-ence of the law.
Fines as deterrents work for the majority of the people, but not all. Let’s consider alternative ways to sway violators instead of pounding our pulpits, demanding higher and higher fines to little avail.
What do the police do when they wish to curb behavior in a community? They get active in schools, and host community events with incen-tives to participate and visit.

Mining companysays it has right
Truman said Day wants Tahltan Drilling Services to drop the name Tahltan from their company logo.
“They have completely damaged the creeks and � lled them up with timber so they can cross the creeks,” said Day.
“We were able to go down to the drill site, and it made the elders very sad that this kind of activity is go-ing on when the Tahltan have never consented to this.”
A stretch of land containing Tahltan First Nation burial sites and a historical dwelling area for many, Day says the province did not prop-erly consult with the Tahltan before drilling permits were granted to sev-eral companies.
He also says it is a major moose hunting area for Tahltan.
Doubleview, on its website, stands by the fact that it received the permits in good faith from the government and that it is their legal right to continue exploring in the area for what they call a rich copper and gold play.
Day said the Tahltan environ-mental department and elders have been concerned about the area since the permits were granted by the province in 2012.
For its part, the Energy and Mines ministry is respecting both
the Tahltan and the companies that want to drill in the territory.
“We respect the position of the Tahltan Nation and we are working with them and industry to resolve this matter in a way that bene� ts all parties,” said a ministry statement.
“It is important to recognize that these companies have the necessary permits to undertake work on their tenures and they are within their rights to do so.”
All this will sound familiar to many, as the past decade has seen a number of high pro� le standoffs be-tween the Tahltan First Nation and their allies who aim to protect the land for various cultural and envi-ronmental reasons and various min-eral resource companies wanting to mine the land.
In 2012, the province bought back coalbed gas leases awarded to Shell Canada in 2004 after protests from the Tahltan and other groups.
And this year, a similar buyout happened when the province bought back licences owned by anthracite coal mining company Fortune Min-erals, putting a halt to the develop-ment in the Sacred Headwaters for at least the next 10 years.
“The Tahltan Nation is open to exploration and development in cer-tain areas,” said Day.

Record-breaking heata factor in spate of � res
Deputy � re chief Dave Jephson said that the heat made putting out the house � re in New Remo at 2056 Ga-gnon Rd. a challenge.
“I think we did an awesome job, all crew on scene,” said Jephson. “Sure the house is going to get knocked over, but you know what, they [the owners] can go in-side and get their per-sonal belongings.”
For � ve days last week, the temperature was consistently above 30 degrees, and all-time high records dating back almost a century were shattered.
July 6 saw tempera-tures of 34.6 degrees, breaking the record set back in 1958 and July 7 broke the record from 1920 at 34 degrees.
Although May was the hottest on record, this has not been an ex-ceptionally hot or dry summer thus far, said Environment Canada.
Still, conditions
were volatile enough to warrant a � re ban for the entire province.
This meant camp-� res, open-burning and some devices were forbidden and the pub-lic was urged to be ex-tremely cautious when using open-� ames such as camp stoves or while smoking. The city also said last week that it was extending its municipal � re ban to include Fer-
ry Island, a controlled campground that was initially exempt.
BC Hydro says it’s taking its regular pre-cautions to prevent � res starting from trees com-ing into contact with power lines, but the dry conditions have present-ed an additional chal-lenge. “BC Hydro crews are continually working to ensure trees are prop-erly trimmed and man-
aged around the lines,” said spokesperson Da-vid Mosure. “We are do-ing as much as any other year except that we are currently shut down be-cause the � re ratings are extreme,” referring to the risk that machinery in the bush could start a � re. Fire of� cials are asking the public to be vigilant and to report � ames, smoke, or burn-ing infractions.

MOUNTAIN VIEW Christian Academy might have to cancel classes come Septem-ber after being dis-placed from their loca-tion on Lakelse Ave. last month, according to school organizers.
The private school was leasing classroom space in a building owned by the Saint Matthews Anglican Church, but the build-ing was put up for sale and the academy was told move out by the end of June.
If the school cannot find classroom space for the fall, courses might be cancelled.
“We might have to delay the start of
school if we can't find a space,” acknowledged Roger Ewald, one of the founders of Moun-tain View.
“That is something that we have to consid-er, but it is more likely that we will end up renting space in a few different churches and just have our school spread-out,” he said.
The school, which hosts students from grades between kinder-garten and grade 7, had 54 students last year and is still enrolling students for next year despite the setback.
They are still look-ing for classroom space and a permanent location.
Mountain View cur-rently has an applica-
tion before the city to rezone a property owned by the Terrace and District Christian Council at 5031 Hal-
liwell street for use by the school, but the older home on the property is not in any shape to ac-commodate them.
“We would have to renovate the house on the property and it would not be ready for September,” said
Ewald. They also have yet
to make a deal with the council to buy or lease the land.
Some Christian in-stitutions in town have reached out to help the school in finding a place.
Mountain View has had help from the Al-liance Church which gave them their home for the first six years after the school was founded 13 years ago.
They might have to find a way to house students on the Alli-ance Church's grounds in order to be open in September, but that would not be a long-term solution, Ewald noted.
Right now all of
Mountain View's teach-ing supplies is in stor-age until they find a place to set up their classrooms again.
“We are still search-ing for a home and I'm confident that we will find a home, it's just the location is not con-firmed,” said Ewald. “We will keep on push-ing for a place for our students.”
The school had been leasing the build-ing from the Anglican Church for the past seven years and they were notified a few months ago that they would have to vacate that space.
They are one of two inter-denominational Christian school in Ter-race.

THORNHILL’S NEW � re chief, appointed by the regional district board at its June meet-ing, like his predecessor spent almost all of his � re� ghting career here.
Rick Boehm, Thorn-hill’s previous deputy � re chief, took over the new position June 29 after longtime � re chief Wes Patterson left for a position in Port Hardy.
“I knew after the board meeting late that night,” he said.
It was a unanimous decision by the Region-al District of Kitimat-Stikine board, after the Thornhill Volunteer Fire� ghters’ Associa-tion put its recommen-dation to the board.
Boehm spent 10 years volunteering with
the department, then left the area for nine years and worked as an emer-gency vehicle techni-cian mechanic for what was formerly called ProFire Emergency Equipment (now Saf-eTech) and travelled the Yukon, Northwest Ter-
ritories and all around B.C. doing maintenance on � re trucks.
The deputy � re chief job came up here and he took it and it’s been just about three years in that role for him.
In addition to being � re chief now, Boehm is also employed in an ad-ministrative position as the emergency and � re services coordinator.
The only big tasks coming up on the job in the upcoming future are replacing the � re trucks.
“We will probably select a vendor here in two or three months with a delivery date within a year,” said Boehm.
Three � re trucks need to be replaced and the ladder truck too.
Rick Boehm
New � re chief born, raised hereFIVE LOCAL groups have the honour of being
the � rst recipients of grant money from the Ter-race Community Foundation.
Helping Hands, Kimmunity Angels, Terrace Downtown Improvement Area, Terrace Peaks Gymnastics Club and the Terrace Salmonoid Enhancement Society were the grant recipients.
“It went very very well. It was a very suc-cessful event,” says foundation vice-chair Joyce Gibson.
The foundation had $10,000 to give out but didn’t give out the full amount, she added.
Each of the 10 groups that applied could ask for a maximum of $2,500 and it had to go to a project that each group was going to do, said Gibson.
Helping Hands received $2,500, Kimmunity Angels $1,500, Terrace Downtown Improve-ment Area $1,000, Terrace Peaks Gymnastics Club $2,400 and Terrace Salmonid Enhance-ment Society $2,500.
The foundation is hoping to give out the grant money twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, said Gibson.
Anybody can apply as long as they meet the criteria and the foundation board isn’t on the committee that decides on who gets the grants; the committee is made up of three people chosen
from the general public who decides and lets the board know and the board makes the � nal ap-proval, said Gibson.
It only took the foundation four years for the interest on their principal amount to get to $10,000, which surprised the president of the Prince George Community Foundation, with whom the Terrace foundation works with for investment and expertise, who came from Prince George as a guest for the grant night June 24.
“He was just amazed it took four years, or less than four years, to be able to raise that amount of money,” said Gibson.
“Their � rst one (giving out grant money) was almost 10 years so we’re quite proud of our little organization.”
The foundation began in April 2011 when the City of Terrace formed it.
Its principal endowment fund came from the Northern Development Initiative Trust’s Com-munity Foundations Matching Grants program, which provides up to a maximum of $50,000 to match money raised in the community here.
With the city’s help of $50,000, plus the matching fund, the foundation started with $100,000 and now its principal amount has grown to nearly $300,000.

She’s dancing this summer
Brenna Metzmeier
A DANCER who’s been studying at a classical ballet school down south is fresh off a win at provincials and training with a program in San Francisco this summer.
Brenna Metzmeier, 18, begins at a ballet inten-sive this week for � ve weeks that culminates in a show at its completion.
The intensive will involve dancing for about 40 hours a week, she said.
And in her � rst time at provincials, she came in � rst.
She started dancing at Sophia’s Dance Studio and when the opportunity came to study at the Victoria Academy of Ballet in Grade 11, she took it.
“Dance is just my passion. It’s a lot of fun, and a lot of work,” said Metzmeier, adding she likes neo-classical ballet, which is contemporary and ballet combined.
“It’s fun and you can be creative and it’s exciting to learn and to do.”
In the fall, she heads back to the ballet academy for her second year, which will culminate in graduation with a diploma in classical ballet next year. Then she’s looking to audition for a job with a dance company.
For now, the intensive will provide her with more experience.
“I’m not sure what it’s going to be like but I’m really excited. I’ve watched it on YouTube and they’re really amazing,” she said about the dance intensive.

ANOTHER SET of voices goes public with the July 6 online release of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation liquefied natural gas (LNG) de-velopment film named Nis Ts’edilh (“Moving Forward”).
The Wet’suwet’en First Nation film por-trays “a realistic view of LNG development through the many voic-es of those impacted and involved,” accord-ing to the First Nation’s website.
The film provides a plain-language explana-tion of LNG extraction, pipeline transportation and liquefaction pro-cesses, and identifies some of the environ-mental impacts of the combined activities, said the website.
While LNG develop-ment presents oppor-
tunities, it also raises concerns from First Na-tions communities at all development streams from extraction, pipe-line to terminal.
“This is a very complex issue and we acknowledge the dif-ficulty of what people are being asked to con-sider,” says Chief Karen Ogen.
“This film was de-veloped to provide a clear perspective of what needs to be de-cided and to open up a discussion around the opportunity, cost of the proposed projects from environmental, economical and social perspectives.”
Through a series of candid interviews with community stakehold-ers along the routes of the proposed Pacific Trail (PTP) and Coastal
Gas Link (CGL) pipe-lines in British Colum-bia, this film is the cul-mination of these voices which shows that mov-ing forward with LNG development will see a new approach form between government,
First Nations and indus-try.
The film examines the following topics:
• there exists a legacy of problematic relationships between government, industry and First Nations; how-ever, positive changes are being made as pro-
ponents begin to work with First Nations and government as partners in natural resource de-velopment projects;
• engaging with project proponents is an effective way for First Nations to ensure that their concerns are addressed, and in par-ticular, to steer proj-ects in such a way that reduces cumulative environmental im-pacts, and maximizes economic and social benefits;
• LNG development will provide an opportu-nity for struggling com-munities along the pipe-line routes to rebuild. It will also afford govern-ment, industry and First Nations an opportunity to establish better rela-tionships moving for-ward as partners.
The film features
interviews with re-gional and First Na-tions leaders, including Wet’suwet’en Chief Karen Ogen, Kitse-las Chief Joe Bevan, Blueberry First Nation Chief Marvin Yahey, Haisla Nation Chief Ellis Ross, Kitimat Mayor Phil Germuth and Burns Lake mayor Luke Strimbold; Neala MacDougall, Well Op-erations Team Lead, Shell Canada; Peter Di-chrow, Supervisor, Sat-urn Plant Operations, Shell Canada; Mindy Henyu, Aboriginal Re-lations Specialist, Shell Canada.
The film was shot on location in Haisla, Kiti-mat, Terrace, Kitselas, Houston, Burns Lake, Wet’suwet’en First Nation, Fort St. John, Groundbirch and Blue-berry River First Nation.
The film is presented by Wet’suwet’en First Nation and produced by CloverPoint and Yinka Dene Economic Gen-eral Partnership.

RCMP plane returns to enforce speed limitsPAY ATTENTION to the road signs that say driving speed is “Air-craft patrolled” because the police patrol plane has returned.
On July 7, the West Pacific Region Traffic Services, also known as the highway patrol, working with the RCMP Air Services plane out of Prince Rupert, con-ducted enforcement on Hwy 16 and Hwy 37 South in the Terrace and Kitimat areas for ap-proximately four hours in the afternoon, said Terrace RCMP high-way patrol officer Cpl. Philip Crack July 8.
In that short time, they gave out 19 tickets and warnings and im-pounded one vehicle for excessive speed.
“This was the first time this had been done in the area in awhile. It was found to be quite effective and police were able to see things that they would not see in the course of a nor-mal patrol,” said Crack.
“It allows for easier targeting of the aggres-sive drivers, the ones that are tailgating and dodging in and out of traffic. With how effec-tive it was, be prepared to see more of it in the
area.”And how does a po-
lice officer in a plane ticket a driver on the ground?
“The officer in the plane has visual conti-nuity of the vehicle until such time as it is pulled
over by the members on the ground,” said Crack.
“It is basically a time over distance equation. There are fixed distanc-es on the ground and it is measured how long it takes them to travel that distance giving the
speed they were going.”The aircraft patrols
were stopped in the area due to a lack of officers trained to do the spot-ting but now there’s one officer fully trained to do just that, he added.
The breakdown of
the police tickets was:• eight tickets and
five written warnings for speed;
• one ticket and a ve-hicle impounded for ex-cessive speed (154 km/hr in a 100 km/hr zone);
• one ticket for no
driver’s licence;• one ticket for cross
double solid line;• one ticket for fail to
display N sign;• one ticket for fail to
change address;• one breach of un-
dertaking charge.
“Being the summer driving months and with more traffic on the road, police would like to remind drivers to slow down, take their time and maintain a safe driving distance,” said Crack.
VEHICLES WERE in-volved in several calls to Terrace RCMP last week.
Between July 9 and 10, a Dodge Caravan rear-ended a Toyota truck then rolled back into a Ford truck at the intersection of Hwys 16 and 37. The Dodge and Toyota were towed. The Dodge’s driver was transported to hospital for assessment.
Between July 8 and 9, a man was seen looking into vehicles in the Park Avenue Medical Build-ing parking lot. Police found a man rummag-ing through a box in the back of a pickup. The intoxicated man was arrested and officers seized a Magellan GPS and a 12 volt car adapter from him and are look-ing for the owners. Also that day, an abandoned white Dodge truck was found on Queensway Dr. with its rear tires sheared off and the ig-nition punched out. The truck was towed.

THE NUMBER of se-niors on the waiting list for long-term care facilities in Terrace has dropped significantly in recent years, meaning that elderly people who actually need to be in a care home will secure a bed there faster, say re-gional health officials.
The changes are thanks to a Northern Health initiative to make the most of avail-able beds in Terrace by caring for some seniors in their homes, a de-velopment that comes at a time when many are worrying about the strain the aging popu-lation will put on the health care system.
“Because of the ini-tiative, now in Terrace there are two people on the waiting list for residential care homes compared to 13 people that were on the wait-ing list three years ago,” said Penny Anguish of Northern Health.
In the northwest, there were more than 50 seniors on the waiting list for care homes be-fore, a number that has now dropped to only 22 last week according to Anguish.
As a result, the wait times for long-term care beds have also de-creased to only three to four months on aver-age, a big improvement on the year-long period that patients had to wait just a few years ago.
The reduction in the size of the wait list can be attributed to a North-ern Health initiative called Care in the Right Place that focuses on making sure that peo-ple who do not need to stay in the hospital or in care facilities have the resources to be able to recover at home.
“What we heard from seniors is they want to live indepen-dently as long as pos-sible,” said Anguish.
“So we are working to help people stay at home.”
Anguish explained that the initiative began by ensuring that seniors in the hospital were discharged in a timely way if their families or homecare nurses could support their recovery.
This made sure that only elderly patients who have no other op-tion but long-term care remain in hospital beds on the wait list for a res-
idential care home. These changes have
reduced the number of seniors overall waiting for a bed in a care home.
“We find that we get better results [this way],” explained An-guish.
“People lose their functional abilities the longer that they stay in acute [care at the hospi-tal] so we want to move
towards discharge as fast as possible.”
There are currently 86 long-term beds and nine short-term beds available at Northern Health's Terraceview Lodge senior care facil-ity.
There are no plans to make more beds avail-able for elderly people in need of the extra help, said Anguish, because
current resources in the health care system need to be optimized first.
“There are lots of things that can be done to improve the quality of care patients are re-ceiving before we open up more beds,” she said.
However, last month, nine seniors were still waiting in hospital beds across the northwest region for a place in a
long-term care facility to open up and an aging population is going to put more pressures on the health care system in the near future.
This is something that Northern Health still has to be mindful of, noted Anguish.
Anguish said that Northern Health is working on coordinat-ing care between fam-
ily doctors, the hospi-tal, and care homes, and other organizations need to work on provid-ing assisted living and accessible housing fa-cilities in order to care for the increasing num-ber of seniors.
“Everyone is certain-ly concerned about the demographic shift that is going to take place and that is why we are
doing the work we've been doing under the Care in the Right Place initiative,” Anguish ex-plained.
The outdated Mills Memorial Hospital is also scheduled to un-dergo massive upgrades over the coming years, a process that will happen over seven years and they are currently about three years into.

Chamber hires director By JOSH MASSEY
THE NEW executive director of the Terrace & District Chamber of Com-merce sits back in her spacious office above Speedy Printers and reflects on the various twists and turns that brought her to this spot.
It’s been two years since Erika Magnusson, 28, moved north from Vancouver with her partner. She worked for a time as assistant to for-mer chamber director Carol Fielding before filling the position when Field-ing retired.
Before coming to Terrace, Mag-nusson taught English as a second language in Vancouver and also in her home town of Winnipeg, and worked for Parkinson’s Society and Red Cross.
She’s even done photography work and spent a year in Scotland where she sold kilts.
Now at the Chamber, she has room to spread her wings in a different set-ting, and hopes to bring her personal touch to the job.
For some chamber events like the Business Expo, Magnusson wants to just replicate the success already achieved, while other items are get-ting a rethink. “I’m not going to touch an inch of it,” she says of the annual Business Expo.
However The Business Excellence Awards will see some changes, such as relocation to a new venue.
“The biggest new part is the venue, we are actually going to be holding it
at the Sportsplex which is quite cool,” she said.
The chamber will continue to of-fer various services to the 250 busi-nesses it represents in town, as well as benefits.
“The chamber is the voice of busi-ness in Terrace. We are here to lobby and advocate for the business com-munities,” she said.
“There are benefits with the BC Chamber of Commerce, so there are discounts through Staples and a couple different fuel companies... We also have merchant benefits and group benefits insurance plans, and also payroll assistance that really helps out, especially the smaller busi-nesses who don’t have that set up.”
Magnusson says she is still learn-ing the history of Terrace business.
“There is a lot of history here, there have been a lot of big ups and downs in the economy for Terrace, in the early 2000s the closure of the sawmills was really, really impacting, and of course we are all hanging on all the LNG.”
Now she thinks the economy is in a bit of a waiting phase and that pa-tience is important.
“We live in the world of instant messaging, get everything to you in-stantly, have it done now, but some-times you have to remember, espe-cially the big projects, these will take time.”
She adds that chamber member-ship includes both large and small businesses.

ROSEMARY RADELET
With a deep sense of love and loss, we announce the passing of Rosemary Radelet on June 25, 2015. Born the only child of Evelyn and Wilf Ramsay in Vancouver on September 16, 1933, she found her calling as a creative and dedicated teacher. In 1955 she married John Russel (Jack) Radelet and moved north to Prince Rupert and then to Terrace, where they raised their family.
In 1996, after more than 30 years of teaching young children, Rosemary retired from E.T.Kenney school. Soon after Jack died in 2008, “Roses” moved to Vancouver Island to be closer to family. This First May Queen of Marpole, Speller Extraordinaire, and Print Shop Maven leaves behind friends from Vancouver, Terrace and the Cowichan Valley. Also left to mourn her passing: her children James Radelet (and Mona), Mike Radelet (and Alice) and Laurie Sheftel (and David); her grandchildren Natasha Mulhall, K.C. and Caleb Roome, and Benjamin and Jesse Sheftel; her great-grandchildren Zoe and A.J. Roome; her Mexican exchange students; and her sisters-in-law Signe and Anne and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Heartfelt thanks go to the workers at Sunridge Assist-ed Living and to Dr.Glaude and the staff at Cowichan District Hospital for their gentle care. A celebration of Rosemary’s life will be held in Duncan on July 9 as well as in Vancouver in the Fall.
In lieu of fl owers, Mom asked that loving donations be made to Suwilaawks Community School, 3430 Sparks Street, Terrace BC V8G 2V3.

Ripped Terracite crowned Mr. BCBy JOSH MASSEY
IMAGINE STANDING in front of an audience of 2,000 wearing nothing but a Speedo and flexing your greased body so everyone, including discern-ing judges, can critique your muscle symmetry, size, even your smile and confidence level.
For local resident Ashley Whit-tington, who was crowned Mr. BC after winning the province’s top ama-teur bodybuilding award this spring, it’s actually a great feeling, that is, for those who gave their best effort dur-ing the brutal, painful training leading up to that big day.
“After you have worked really hard, you are pretty confident at that point,” says Whittington, 33, who is also co-owner of North Coast Health & Fitness in Terrace. “If you didn’t give it much, say you gave it 60 per cent and not 100 per cent, then yeah maybe you would wish you weren’t there.”
This was his third time competing in the competition held at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre and fifth straight year of competing in general, and Whittington weaned himself to 235 pounds, winning top honours in the super heavy-weight category, and also winning best all around physique at the event that featured 300 com-petitors.
“People tend to look good standing alone, but seen against all the other competitors it’s different,” he said of the level of competition at the event.
Preparing means feeling the pain. You can’t be too comfortable, he says. “You need to make it uncomfortable to get that lean look.”
Since 2009, when he won The Sandra Wickham body building award, Whittington has regularly un-dertaken the grueling four-month diet and training regime necessary to get
chiseled for competitions at a higher level.
Now that he is B.C. champ, he has unrestricted qualification to the nationals, which he plans to compete in this year or next, and after that he could even turn pro if he wins there.
But public glory is not Whitting-ton’s endgame. Ultimately, he says he does it as a way to meet personal goals and also to show the many peo-ple he trains that high level fitness is possible.
“A lot of them are working towards a goal that they have, whether it’s a weight loss goal or a muscle building goal, changing their physique for a wedding or a reunion,” he said of his clients at the North Coast Health & Fitness.
“When I tell them to do something, I have walked the walk myself, I am not telling them to do something that none of us have done before. It gives us a little credibility.”
Whittington also says his wife Charis, who co-owns North Coast Health & Fitness, has been a great companion on the road to victory.
“It is good advertising to be in-volved in that [competition] and my wife is involved in that too and we are pretty supportive of each other. That was the third time I competed at the provincials so I was pretty pumped to win it.”
And how can the reader achieve a body like his?
“You can’t shape body fat,” Whit-tington advises. “It’s always going to look the same, but muscle you can shape and add that roundness to it and that symmetry and that’s what gives us waist and shoulders.”
“Every seven days we want to see some change,” he added.
whether it’s weight loss or mus-cle,” he said of preparing for compe-tition.

Pool aims to recruit lifeguardsBy CECILE FAVRON
THERE AREN’T enough people in Ter-race with the swimming skills to replace the student lifeguards who are leaving for school in the fall, says Aquatic Centre staff.
This situation has prompted the pool to hold swimming lessons for prospective lifeguards that will get them qualifications needed for eventual lifeguard certification, a program that has never been held before in Terrace, said head lifeguard instructor Debbie van’t Kruis.
“We are hoping to get people who, for them, being a lifeguard is just a pipe-dream. Especially a lot of high school kids, they have the strength to be a life-guard, but not the technique, so we will help them work on their skills to fulfill their dream of becoming a lifeguard,” ex-
plained van’t Kruis. The new trainees will splash into the
pool in July and will start by working on swimming skills and then life-saving skills later on. Participants in the eight-week course spend two hours per week in the pool learning everything from basic strokes to learning how to swim with res-cue equipment.
When swimmers graduate from the program, van’t Kruis says, she hopes they will have the skills to complete required lifeguard certification courses which will run in the fall.
Although high school students need to be 16 in order to work as a lifeguard and teach swimming lessons, van’t Kruis has opened up the training program for youth as young as 14 because they can still train and do tests toward eventual certification in these areas.
She also says that working as a life-guard is a great job for those looking for flexible work hours.
“Working at the pool is a great part time job for students, moms who are look-ing to re-enter the workforce, people who used to swim, and people who even used to be lifeguards, come on back – we need you,” van’t Kruis said.
Swimming lessons and the pool’s hours may be cut in the fall if they do not have enough staff to keep swimmers safe, she said.
“We usually like to have about 20-25 staff and by the end of the summer we will be down quite a few – this training pro-gram is to keep us going through-out the year,” van’t Kruis explained.
Anyone interested in the program is asked to contact the Terrace Aquatic Cen-tre for more information.

Alcan was always crowing about being number one in the alu-minum business. Len asked his host and tour guide, the presi-
dent of the Intalco Smelter, about this in the latter’s spacious office at the end of the tour. A long-suffering look came over the president’s face.
Like Alcan, we dissolve the alumina from bauxite in cryolite baths inside the large, carbon lined pots you saw earlier, using the Hall-Heroult reduction. The alu-mina gathers on a large cathode by elec-trolysis, then it’s siphoned off and flows into furnaces where it’s alloyed with other metals for specific purposes. From there it’s cast into ingots or poured into molds. The whole operation takes a huge amount of electricity and that, he said, is where Alcan’s Kitimat operation, has a big ad-vantage over its competitors because it has a sweetheart deal with the government. Not only do they get power cheaper than us, they make enormous profits selling it. They’re power brokers.
Not long after he returned to Terrace, Len shared the story of his trip to Ferndale with the local opposition to Kemano II at a meeting held in the Elks’ Hall. Jim Culp and I were there representing the inter-ests of steelhead. Jim Fulton, the member of parliament for Skeena at the time, was there, as were municipal politicians and concerned citizens from the region.
It was an invigorating session though most of the discussion has faded in my mind over time, but what hasn’t faded is
Len’s narrative. In ret-rospect, this may have been because I had been fascinated by Kitimat, the first company town I’d seen shortly after arriving here in 1978, and I was struck by the strange juxtaposition of an industrial waste-gen-erating land stuck in the midst of what must have been one of the most ecologically rich and beautiful settings on the B.C. coast. I knew so little about Alcan and the process of making aluminum and was ea-ger to know more.
I recall being struck by the candour of the Intalco president dur-ing Len’s narrative, but as Len pointed out, the man was in competition with Alcan and had nothing to lose or hide by revealing the workings of the aluminum business to the head of the Kitsumkalum Farmers’ Insti-tute.
As the battle to halt Alcan’s expansion plans, and save the Morice River in the pro-cess, continued, I was exposed to plenty of fascinating history that should be taught in every Canadian high school. I learned that the B.C. government during the 1940s – a coalition of liberals and conservatives that had banded together to keep the Co-oper-ative Commonwealth Federation, or CCF,
which later morphed into the NDP before branding themselves New Democrats – out of power, felt this prov-ince’s hinterlands were ripe for industrial expan-sion. I hasten to add that the provincial liberal and conservative parties of yore were liberal and conservative in the true meaning of those terms, not ultra right wing cor-poratist apologists as are the political parties that march under those ban-ners today.
The government of the time had the vision to recognize that the wa-
terworks that irrigate the central and north-ern parts of this province were a potential energy source more than capable of pow-ering enormous industrial expansion of the kind they were eager to encourage and were unable to fund themselves because the tax burden of a relatively small tax base was prohibitive. An assay conducted by the provincial water branch two de-cades earlier unequivocally confirmed this and highlighted the Nechako watershed, a vast drainage of lakes and rivers no less than 14,000 kilometres squared, some 600 clicks north of Vancouver, as a particularly good prospect.
Armed with this knowledge, the pro-
vincial government set out to woo private industry. The Aluminum Company of Canada with operations in Quebec and On-tario seemed a likely prospect, given that aluminum production is energy intensive. At first, Alcan management was lukewarm, or seemed lukewarm, to the entreaties from government officials. The pot had to be sweetened, and was it ever in what has to be the largest resource give-away in the history of Canada.
When all was said and done, a spillway to divert Fraser Watershed water was built at Skins Lake, the Kenny Dam was built in the Nechako River Canyon with little con-cern for the damage or mitigation for the Nechako salmon, one of the finest rainbow trout fisheries in the world, the sturgeon and Bull Trout, and the riverine environ-ment downstream. A forest was drowned at Ootsa Lake with all the environmen-tal and economic loss such a tragedy en-tails. To transmit the power generated by cascading a river through a 16 kilometre tunnel, through penstocks, to generator turbines, required the construction of the transmission line, through a linear clearcut that snakes over 82 kilometres of tortuous coastal forest.
In the end, the bill, which included the construction of two company towns. port facilities and, of course, a smelter, was what amounted to a whopping $3 billion in today’s currency. From Alcan’s perspec-tive, it was a canny investment that history demonstrates has paid—and continues to pay— handsome dividends.

THEY MIGHT be outside hitters, but they are on the inside track for success at their sport.
Two rising Terrace vol-leyball stars, Evan Veldman and Lucas Mantel, have been training in Kamloops with Team BC for the Na-tional Team Challenge Cup (NTCC) tournament starting today July 15 through to the 19th in Edmonton.
The pair, who just com-pleted 10th grade, were cho-sen for the U16 team and will be joining 22 more of the best players from across B.C. to battle teams from other provinces at the tour-nament.
Evan and Lucas were both drawn from Centennial Christian School which has done extremely well in vol-
leyball in the past few years, despite their small student population.
“Because it is a small school, they have had a lot more opportunity,” said school principal Edgar Veld-man. “When these boys were in Grade 8, they were playing on the senior boy's team so they were really challenged to play at a high-er level of volleyball.”
They were both chosen as outside hitters for Team BC, but excel in all volleyball positions, observed Veld-man.
“They have played a va-riety of positions and they are very well-rounded,” he said.
In May, scouts for the provincial team came to the area to watch the youths play and the boys and Centennial student, Chad Macdonald,
were all chosen to go to a grueling four-day tryout camp in Kamloops.
“I was pretty nervous at first,” said Lucas.
“I thought I played pret-ty good, but I really didn't know if I would make the team because there were a lot of good players.”
The camp not only tested the boys physically, but test-ed their mental endurance to keep on going through the process, said principal Veld-man.
Contestants at the NTCC tournament have the chance to be selected to represent Canada and train to par-ticipate on Team Canada's U16/17 team. Forty boys will be chosen in total for the national team.
Evan says that even if he doesn't make the national team, the experience will
still be one of his best op-portunities in what could be a long volleyball career.
“With some of the best coaches in B.C., we have improved a ton in these cou-ple of weeks,” he said.
Their key to success might be that both Lucas and Evan started playing young following in the footsteps of other members in their fam-ily.
“My love for the sport just took off from watch-ing our older brothers,” ex-plained Lucas.
And since the boys start-ed playing the sport for-mally in Grade 6, they have been inseparable all the way to the provincial team.
“Lucas and I have been playing together since the beginning, I have never played on a team without him,” said Evan.

THE TOTEM Saddle Club held its annual Kings and Queens contest last week for young riders to prove they had the skill and dedication to repre-sent the club.
The winner this year, 16-year-old Jennifer Rempel, took the title for the fourth year and will now lead the club's float in the Riverboat days parade.
“It was pretty cool, it was quite an achievement to see how much Diggy [the horse] stepped up, we started at the bottom, but now we managed to hit queen for our third year together,” ex-
plained Rempel.She said her horse had trouble ad-
justing to the strict restraint he had to show when he first started the competi-tion.
Rempel competed against this year's crowned princesses Samantha Essay, 14, and Dylan Currie, 11, as well as runner-up Meagan Glawe, 15.
The contestants were judged on their ability to control their horse while they were not in the saddle and how they presented their horse to the judge.
Then they rode through obstacles to show that they could do the ride pat-tern with precision and made a small
speech to the judge about their horse and their work in the club.
“The hardest part was the speech,” laughed Rempel. “But I have improved since the first ones. It is stressful when all your friends are watching you.”
The young rider has been compet-ing on horseback since she was two years old when her mom would lead her horse in the ring.
“As soon as I could hold my head up, I was on a horse.” she said.
The contest took place last week during the club's regular gymkhana speed events held throughout the sum-mer at the fair grounds.

TWO ORPHANED grizzly cubs res-cued late last fall have been released back into the wild.
After spending the winter at Smith-ers’ Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter in a pen with three other grizzly cubs from other parts of the province, and gaining a couple of hundred pounds, the two healthy cubs were loaded into traps at the shelter and transported west of Terrace June 17.
Conservation officers Ryan Gor-don, Sgt. Tracy Walbauer and Pro-vincial Wildlife Vet Helen Schwantje from Victoria along with Northern Lights staff prepared the cubs for their release far from people.
The cubs were drugged, blood and hair samples were collected and a health assessment was completed.
Both bears were fitted with radio collars, to track their movements for up to two years.
The bears were flown by Silver King helicopters to a remote wilder-ness location southwest of Terrace, where they were released.
Last November, conservation of-ficers were called out to a dead griz-zly sow near Kitimat and successfully trapped her two cubs, a male and fe-male, who were last year’s cubs.
There was no indication that they had been eating garbage so they met the criteria to go to Northern Lights where staff fed and cared for them while keeping them wild.
At that time, it wasn’t clear how the grizzly sow had died as an initial field post-mortem didn’t determine anything definite.
It was thought she might have been hit by traffic as Alcan changed shifts but there were no signs of impact or broken bones on her.
No bullets or bullet entry wounds were found either so it was thought she might have died of natural causes.
