Huge recycling shift comingBy JOSH MASSEY
THE CITY has provided a glimpse of what will be a dramatic shift in how garbage collection and re-cycling is handled beginning next spring.
Residential garbage will be picked up once every two weeks and recyclables placed in large, clear plastic bags in the off weeks as of next May.
The new system is designed to fit in with the creation of a
province-wide organization called Multi-Material BC (MMBC) which will expand recycling be-yond current items to include pa-per and other packaging materials used in consumer goods.
The residential service will be operated by the city and provided to family and multi-family resi-dences that have up to four units, with an as-of-yet undetermined collection company providing pick-up for businesses, apartment buildings and other institutions.
The new MMBC program will provide the city an estimated $134,000 a year for the curbside recycling program as part of a new system whereby producers will pay for the recycling of packaging contained in their products.
Though MMBC Chair Allen Langdon said the organization is still forming, it has signed up ap-proximately 1,200 producer com-panies, and has forecast a budget of $100 million. The impact on consumers of packaged goods has
yet to be determined but projec-tions are that costs to consumers will increase as producers cover their payments to MMBC.
Langdon said that under the new system municipalities have the choice of providing their own service using MMBC money or having MMBC pay contractors for residential pickup.
In both scenarios MMBC is in charge of a depot where material would be sorted and then trans-ported, though Langdon said local
specifics still need to be worked out.
City public works director Rob Schibli said the city is choosing to provide collection services be-cause it fits well with the current curbside garbage pick-up program.
The report shows that with re-cycling forecast to reduce garbage loads by up to 50 per cent, allowing the city to reduce garbage pick-up to a new biweekly system, Terrace stands to save up to $81,000 a year.

Valard employees were on deck July 8 at the lakelse air helicopter base on Hwy 16 to learn the ins and outs of operations using this erickson aircrane. The heavy load aircraft is being used to lift in the majority of the hydro towers for the Northwest Transmission line.
AN INDuSTRIAL accident Saturday morning shut down the installation of the Northwest Transmission Line towers for the day, with early reports saying that a worker lost a finger.
Before the mishap occurred production using a massive helicopter had gotten off to a faster-than-expected start. An Erickson Aircrane helicopter arrived in Terrace July 8 and was at work the next day following safety training sessions with crews from Valard, the transmission line's main con-struction contractor.
Nearly 900 of the towers will be lifted into place along the 344km transmission line route over several work periods be-tween now and the fall. The steel hydro towers vary in weight between 12,000 and 17,000 pounds, a task the Aircrane can accomplish because of its 20,000 pound lift capacity.
In all, the Northwest Transmission Line will consist of just over 1,100 towers, bringing electricity into the north-western section of B.C. to spur industrial development.
While not exactly fuel efficient – the Aircrane burns 500 gallons of fuel an hour – it was seen as the most efficient way to lift preconstructed towers quickly to their foundation sites. Before its trip to Terrace on July 8 the aircraft was be-ing used for a coastal logging job in southern B.C.
The goal is to lift as many as 20 towers a day with a goal set of placing 160 towers in this first period of helicopter work.
Crews began working north of BC Hydro's Skeena Sub-station just south of Terrace. Once all the towers are in place, Valard linemen will work with smaller helicopters to string the power lines from tower to tower, with completion of the line scheduled for Spring 2014.
Lakelse Air is supplying smaller helicopters to fly about 50 Valard workers in and out of the tower installation sites.
They were on hand when the Aircrane touched down for safety training related to working with and around both it and smaller helicopters.
“We want to make sure about the hazards ... lots of peo-ple are local and haven't had exposure to this kind of work,” said Valard safety specialist Hayley McNeil of the training.

“We're the only ones with the approved stew-ardship plan,” Langdon added. “There is ef-ficiency in scale. The more material you can collect in the system, the cheaper it is for ev-eryone.”
Municipalities have until Sept. 16 to sign five-year contracts with MMBC.
Materials collected under the coming pro-gram include paper products, cardboard and plastics (except plastic bottles), to be transferred in a single stream, meaning they can be mixed in the bags to be separated later at a depot.
Glass would need to be collected separately, and Terrace may or may not choose to include this glass-recycling op-tion.
Schibli said that less than half a per cent of Terrace landfill material is composed of glass, and he believes the cur-rent fleet can be fitted with boxes for collec-tion.
Forty plastic bags will be given to ev-ery household per year, which will cost $28,000, and is includ-ed in the total expense
of $144,000 for the first year of the program. The city estimates the cost will be $131,000 for each following year.
Included are educa-tion and administration costs at $20,000 for the first year and $7,000 for each following year.
Until new garbage trucks are purchased, the current fleet will pick up both waste and recyclables on alternat-ing weeks.
“Our collection fleet will be replaced within the next few years and will be optimized for refuse/recycling col-lection and delivery of refuse to the new [re-gional district] landfill,” said Schibli, referring to the regional district's Forceman Ridge land-fill project.
Until the upgrade the machines will be pres-sure-washed weekly to avoid contamination of recyclables with com-post, Schibli said.
There will still be a two-can limit on refuse and the shift to picking it up every two weeks will reduce the cost from $182,000 each week to $91,000.
“There will be quite a bit of public education happening to get the
public in the know about what is going to come down in the spring,” said city administrator
Heather Avison of an information campaign set to begin this fall.
The overall program
is supposed to provide incentive for companies to reduce packaging and create value for re-
cycled material.Other options were
presented by city staff to council, such as
weekly pick-up of both garbage and recycling but were deemed cost prohibitive.

A ReCenT letter to the Regional District sub-mitted by museum cura-tor Kelsey Wiebe is the most recent gesture of support in a movement spawned by ex-regional district director Les Watmough to change the name of Sockeye Creek south of Terrace back to the original lo-cal name eliza Creek.
According to both oral and written record, the letter reads, Sockeye Creek was once called eliza Creek by locals after eliza Thornhill, who was married to pio-neer Tom Thornhill and sister to Kitselas chief Walter Wright.
Wiebe has joined a chorus of supporters in-cluding Terrace liaison to the regional district Lynne Christiansen as well as Kitselas elder Francis Seymour.
There has been dis-cussion over whether the original name should be restored to eliza Creek or to have an earlier Sm'algyax combined with it.
The letter cites the importance of eliza Thornhill in the history of the region, saying she is representative of a group of strong First nations women who married white settlers like Tom and helped them survive in a world unfamiliar to them.
eliza hunted, fished, and trapped, providing food as well as cash through the trading and selling of furs at Port essington,” the letter reads.
The letter also quotes historian Floyd Frank who noted the name change in 1978, say-ing that “there's only a few left that know these things.”

PUBLIC NOTICERECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT
This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.
Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013.
The Title of the Initiative is:An initiative to amend the Police Act.
Summary of Initiative:The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.
Opponent Registration:Individuals or organizations who intend to incur expenses as opponents must apply for registration with the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, August 12, 2013. Registration applications for opponents are available from Elections BC.

LocaL Lottery millionaire Bob erb said he has $50,000 to lay plans for a bridge spanning the Skeena river to create a new and better traffic pattern for the city.
He believes the new bridge, which would cross the river at Ferry Island to intersect with Greig ave. near the curling rink, would re-vitalize the downtown core and “alleviate the misery that the 4600 Lakelse Block mer-chants have suffered” since the construction of the bridges reaching west of Ferry Island and the Sande overpass.
erb said his plan will also reduce congestion on the Sande overpass caused by the closing of the Frank Street level rail crossing last month.
“It’s not going to be any more costly than another overpass, but it’s going to revitalize the downtown. We have a hotel being built down at the old co-op prop-erty and they’d sure like to see rupert and alas-ka ferry traffic coming through,” said erb.
erb described what he believes would be a “circular traffic flow” and “easy in, easy out circuit” coming from his bridge plan in tan-dem with continuous traffic flowing from the city over the old Skee-na Bridge to thornhill and the intersection of Hwy16 and Hwy37.
Large signs vis-ible on the highway entering from both ends would read “Kitimat and Prince George via downtown terrace,” and “Prince rupert, alaska and Haida Gwaii ferry via downtown terrace,” said erb.
“I want to see posi-tive change at city coun-cil,” erb said, accusing some members of a lack of forward thinking policy. “this is a hub city and you want to see growth and money real-ized through increased property values. you have to make big town decisions. But they have a small town mentality. their vision is to keep it the quaint little town they grew up in and let the fast paced world pass by.”
erb’s $50,000 of-fer is based on the city chipping in $100,000 to study his bridge idea.

Development activity to pick up
AMARA JANSSENS PHOTO
The TransformaTion of the old Dog ‘n suds building to become an rV park is moving for-ward quickly. This building will become the office, laundromat and shower facility for campers.
MUCH of the dis-cussion at the July 8 city council meeting surrounded variance permits and a zoning amendment.
The evening began with a public hearing about an application to rezone the lots at 4453, 4455, 4457 and 4459 Greig Ave. (on the cor-ner of Greig and Clin-ton) from light indus-trial to C1-A mixed use.
Local lottery mil-lionaire Bob Erb has purchased the lots and wants to build a struc-ture containing retail on the bottom floor, in-cluding a spot for the Deviant fibre clothing business and an antique store, and housing on the top floor.
Erb wasn’t on hand at council, but later described the building plan, as an “Eastern Renaissance, European style from the 1560s, Hansel and Gretel gin-gerbread type house ... a landmark type build-ing.”
City chief adminis-tration officer Heather Avison told council at the hearing that types of development that are permitted on C1-A in-clude business service establishments, finan-cial institutions, home
occupations, multi-fam-ily dwellings, offices, parkades, restaurants, retail stores and town-houses.
Nobody from the public showed up to protest the plan, and council found no reason to oppose the change.
“I think it makes a lot of sense,” councillor Brian Downie said, be-cause in that part of Ter-race, “light industry is a thing of the past.”
Erb has also pur-chased a second set of lots also on Greig and almost across the street from the Skeena Li-quor Store and says an undisclosed national franchise has expressed interest in that location.
However Erb also said the possibility re-mains that Deviant fi-bre building could be built there, with this other franchise, which would also have several apartments upstairs, could be located on the first set of lots.
Two more items on council’s agenda in-volved bylaw amend-ments for trailer parks on Lakelse Ave. A lot at 4342 Lakelse Ave., where the old Dog and Suds used to be, is get-ting turned into an RV campground that will
have room for 14 ve-hicles on a recreational, non-permanent basis.
New owner Don Kirkby plans to use the former Dog and Suds building for laundry and showers and wanted a variance to reduce the buffer zone between it and other facilities.
Located between the Bavarian Inn/Back Eddy Pub and Sonba-das, there was some debate at council over whether a trailer park is a good fit, however since the lot is already zoned service commer-cial, councillor Stacey Tyers and James Cor-deiro reasoned to the rest of council that they really had no power to oppose the plan.
Councillor Bruce Bidgood said that,“it seems like an unusual use of the strip”, and Downie argued that council should consider making the owner pro-vide a better plan for buffering the perimeter before they allow the variance.
After some debate, both this permit, as well as a third item, were granted through accep-tance of the recommen-dations by council.
The third item was a variance permit for
4305 Lakelse Ave. to the Mobile Home Park Bylaw, applied for by Don Ritchey, president of the strata council that runs the Kermode Park community there.
Ritchey applied for a variance permit that would allow all modu-lar homes in the strata community to be set on permanent concrete foundations.
After some discus-sion it was decided that allowing this for the whole strata community would save time in the future because several individuals had already applied for such vari-ances, so a global ap-proach seemed more expedient.
A new presidentlands at HawkairHAWKAIR HAS hired a person from Yellow-knife to take over the running of the regional airline with the depar-ture of Rod Hayward to a teaching position at the University of fraser Valley in Abbotsford.
Jay Dilley started his new job as president July 15 and comes to Terrace after eight years as vice president for Summit Air.
He holds an Honours Bachelor of Commerce in finance and Eco-nomics, and a Master of Science in Manage-ment. Dilley has also worked at Arctic Sun-west Charters.
“I’m very excited to be joining Hawkair,” Dilley said of his new company. “Lots of good things ahead.”
“Jay brings a tre-mendous range of ex-perience in leadership positions within the aviation industry. The board is confident in
Jay’s ability to build on the legacy of success Rod is leaving; he has the right skills, experi-ence and values.” said Lindsay Clougher, a member of the board of directors of Hawkair.
Hayward was in on the ground floor of the formation of Hawkair which began operations in 1994 as a cargo ser-vice before switching to passenger service in 2000.
It now flies to Van-
couver from Terrace, Smithers and Prince Rupert and, as of June with partner airline Central Mountain Air, has added service to Calgary.
Hayward said he is confident Hawkair will continue to see growth in the coming years.
“I believe [Dilley] will help Hawkair move forward,” he said.
Hayward begins his teaching career next month.

Trades brigadeTraining for skilled jobs is ramping up in Terrace – and our school district is playing a big part.
By ANNA KILLEN

InTro To Trades students Brenden McClenaghan, 15, Ashley Curtis, 15, and Jor-dan Therrien, 15 at northwest Community College earlier this year.
Trades liason will link district with industry
For years, experts have been warning of an impending shortage of skilled workers as an older workforce prepares to retire.
In the northwest, however, the talk is of a shortage to meet the demands of large indus-trial projects either underway or in the plan-ning stages.
This means that in Terrace, innovative trades training is a top priority for the Coast Mountains school District (CMsD) – a new trades liaison (see story below) will act as a bridge between the district and industry, and, over the past few years, a laddered approach to preparatory trades training at the high school level has been taking shape.
students are first introduced to trades in middle school and have various opportuni-ties to get on board throughout their high school careers. But it’s the new Intro to Trades course – a program piloted this year as a partnership between CMsD and North-west Community College (NWCC) and ex-tended into the coming years – that’s being pointed to as a way for young students to re-ally experience the trades.
The concept is fairly simple – take a co-hort of students, give them a classroom at the college, and interchange blocks of academ-ics with blocks of instruction in the various trades offered. The students are able to try out the trades – in a substantial, immersive way – and decide which one is right for them – or maybe find out that trades isn’t their thing at all. This way, they’re better able to plan out their last years of high school and they’ll be a step ahead of the game when it comes to post-secondary school.
The program, conceived by Brent speidel, director of instruction for the Coast Mountains school District (CMsD), has two classes of 20 students alternating one week in the classroom with one week in the shop.
“It’s relatively new, and it’s being held as a model of best practice by the colleges and by the ministry in terms of trades training, so we’re excited about it, we’re proud of it,” he said.
Five other districts have similar programs and the Industrial Training authority (ITa) is taking what was learned in those districts, as well as information from various stake-holders, to develop a Ministry of education authorized course to be piloted next year – the ministry-authorized course should be designed to be flexible, meaning our district can choose to use their template, but keep things that worked well locally.
speidel said part of the program is about building these students’ confidence in terms of how they think about post-secondary edu-
cation and what they are capable of. “even if a number of those kids never take
a trade in the future their confidence about being able to go up to NWCC in the future and take any course is huge because there’s no mystery there for them anymore,” he said. “How many kids that come out of high school and graduate are afraid of what’s next?”
another aspect that excites him is seeing a different learning model in action in the classroom.
That’s the work of Intro to Trades in-structor Tanya Corstanje, a passionate, vet-eran teacher who just finished her masters in education and is well-versed in the latest research and teaching techniques to motivate
and engage kids. she is uniquely-suited to teach this program, tailored for kids who aren’t traditional learners. she came up with the basic structure of the program and has been tweaking it throughout the year.
“There’s a saying, ‘you build the boat as you sail it,” said Corstanje. “It’s been sailed.”
What happens in her classroom at the college is different that the traditional high school structure. she has her students for six hours a day, as opposed to six hours a week. The curriculum she teaches – english, socials, and Planning – is interwoven and overlapping. and, of course, because this is Intro to Trades, she uses trades to illustrate traditional concepts.
“I’m not all about the structure of the
school, it’s a little more relaxed,” she said. “It’s for kids that are somewhat disengaged, but in part that’s because they’ve only been shown, the focus, is only on academics. and even though I teach the academics, I show that it’s not a painful situation.”
The pace of the program is efficient – and Corstanje expects to see results.
“I get them for 40 days, each group, so you can’t go and teach fluff ... there’s no fooling around,” she said. “[I look at the cur-riculum and say,] ‘This is the most important thing for you to learn’ – and that’s what I teach. I boil it down.”
students are taught how to think critical-ly, problem solve, infer and ask questions. Learning how to be an effective communi-cator is also key. Corstanje reminds her stu-dents that the most successful tradespeople are the ones who know how to communi-cate, think on the fly, and explain. and self-assessment is a main feature of the program – with students tracking their own progress using guidelines they fully understand, which helps them “own their learning.”
“I don’t teach them stuff so much as I teach them skills so they can do the stuff,” she said. “I start with a skill that doesn’t re-quire as deep of thinking, and then build on that... you don’t lose a skill as much as you might lose a concept.”
some things in the program will change next year – most notably, more input from principals as to which students will be best suited to the program. and the district will be paying attention to last year’s stu-dents, seeing where they go and how they do – Corstanje says about half have already planned their timetables to stream into aCe-IT (a high school apprenticeship program) and will enter trades after graduation.
and while it’s too early to say if this learning approach could be applied to other areas – in terms of this group, the method appears to have fostered success.
“The results we got off the provincials were amazing,” said Corstanje, noting that at the beginning of the year, the majority of the students were assessed as “not yet meeting” in regards to writing skills. But the marks of the provincial exams at the end of the year had Corstanje “over the moon.”
on a six-point scale, “there were an ab-normal amount of fives and sixes out of six,” she said. “It was way more than we’d expect out of a typical Grade 10 group, but this was an atypical group who walked into the class thinking they couldn’t write – turns out, they can write... Who knows, maybe this is the way to go?”
CaroL LeCLerC, former BC Liberal candidate for the skeena riding – and long-time school dis-trict employee – will be taking on a new role within the Coast Moun-tains school District (CMsD), that of coordinating potential trades ca-reers for students with industry.
This is a brand new position for the district, and it aims to bridge the gap between the school district and industry, ensuring students are ready right out of the high school gate for the employers who will
be looking to hire them – or train them further.
“Ultimately we need somebody who can get out there and develop some partnerships,” said superin-tendent Nancy Wells, noting that connections with industry and a knowledge of government bod-ies would be an asset. “It’ll be the catalyst from the school district to make those connections happen and to get things going for kids. Programs, possibilities, what’s out there.”
“Carol’s strong sense of com-munity and experience in local and regional government have given her a good understanding of re-gional issues that will complement this role,” said Wells in the release announcing the appointment.
“Her passion and advocacy for economic development and the re-sulting benefits for our region will be a strength as she works towards creating training and employability opportunities for youth in the com-munities of Hazelton, Kitimat, Kit-
wanga, stewart and Terrace and all of the First Nations communities within our school district.”
Leclerc, who started at the school district in 1990 as the sec-retary to the director of instruction, will be in charge of developing a career education program.
Her responsibilities will also include “building the corporate partnerships necessary to support the development of local trades training programs that will provide students with the skills to become
viable employees in the local and provincial labour markets.”
Leclerc will be leaving her hu-man resources position, which she has held since 2003, when the new position starts on august 1.
Leclerc served on Terrace city council for nine years, retiring in 2011. Just this year she led a spir-ited campaign to become skeena MLa under the BC Liberals, but ultimately lost to incumbent NDP MLa robin austin in the May provincial election.

ASK Skeena - Bulkley Valley NDP Member of Parliament Nathan Cul-len what he thinks of the Queen Eliz-abeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals and he will tell you the following:
A bit of a gong show. Thousands handed out willy nilly. No clear pathway as to who quali� es and who does not.
Regardless of Mr. Cullen’s opin-ions, he was allocated 30 of the medals struck to commemorate the Queen’s 60 years on the throne and to recognize the individual achieve-ments of those who received one.
Mr. Cullen received nomina-tions to recognize 11 constituents. The nominations in turn were to be passed to the Governor-General’s of-� ce which administered the program for validation. And that’s where the trail turns cold.
Repeated requests made to Mr. Cullen’s of� ce dating back to Febru-ary of this year (the program ended Feb. 28) for a list of who received medals in his riding were initially met with promises it would be sent.
Those promises then turned into an admission from Mr. Cullen’s of-� ce that no medals were actually provided to any or all of the nomina-tions received by Mr. Cullen.
Mr. Cullen and his of� ce are now struggling to explain what happened.
No one’s perfect and things can – and do – go sideways. But 11 nomi-nations were received from people who believe the intended recipients were worthy. Mr. Cullen owes both groups full and complete answers.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI
EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, July 17, 2013 Terrace Standard
Sequestered jurors have limited ac-cess to their fami-lies; may not email,
tweet, twitter, text, Face-book or even discuss the trial among themselves; and are forbidden to read or listen to any newspaper, radio, TV, or internet reports of the trial. Which pretty well rules out all media publications since mention of trials of major interest could pop up at any moment.
So how do sequestered jurors amuse themselves between 5 p.m. when court recesses and bedtime, espe-cially if they are assigned in-dividual hotel rooms?
I’ve never served on a jury though once I was sum-moned. When I reported to the “cattle call” for jury se-lection, a copy of the local newspaper hugged under one arm, I was waved on through into the parking lot.
At the time, I was miffed by my swift rejection, and disappointed to miss out on a unique experience, fodder for a column, but after fol-lowing trials that have gone on for months, I thank my interest in current events for sparing me from a potential-ly tedious trial as well as any
possibility of sequestration, surely a numbing existence.
When a jury is seques-tered the judge places them beyond public reach dur-ing the time the court is not in session. As a group they are transported to a hotel each day after court recess-es, where they eat together, perhaps in a separate din-ing area, and are held at all times under the watchful eye of a deputy sheriff (I watch American trials; Canadian trials are seldom if ever fol-lowed live on TV or internet) until they are transported back to the courthouse for the next day’s session.
The purpose of seques-
tration is to keep them apart from any information that may sway their opinion, and isolate them from anyone who might seek to buy them off or intimidate them, until such time as a verdict has been brought in or the jury has declared they are hung, unable to agree whether the defendant is guilty or inno-cent.
Trial publicity, public sentiment, interested par-ties, and the maneuverings and machinations of lawyers outside the courtroom can all taint the jurors’ objectiv-ity and deny the defendant a fair trial. Judges are free to sequester the jury whenever they believe any of these factors may affect the trial’s outcome.
Because sequestration can be such a hardship on jurors, both physically and emotionally stressful, it is seldom used. The practice is also prohibitively expensive . In the California trial of the doctor accused of killing Mi-chael Jackson, the prospect of sequestering the jury was ruled out due to its exorbitant cost.
Aside from cost, judges tend to be considerate of their juries, as evidenced by
Judge Debra Nelson in the Florida trial of George Zim-merman, currently in its � nal stages.
July 3, the day before the U.S. Independence Day holi-day, Zimmerman’s defence asked the judge to cancel court Friday, July 5, to al-low them to take a deposition from a witness. That would have left the jurors seques-tered over the four-day holi-day weekend accomplishing nothing.
Because Zimmerman’s lawyers had known since June 3 they needed to depose their witness but had made no prior request for the judge to recess court early any af-ternoon to give them extra time to do so, Judge Nelson refused to grant their post-ponement request. Trial went ahead July 5.
If jurors are sequestered for weeks, they may be es-corted to entertainment, still monitored at all times by deputy sheriffs. Although what entertainment venues they could attend without risking hearing or reading something pertaining to their trial I can’t imagine. Would it be a Rolling Stones Concert? An air show? A rodeo? An NHL playoff game?
No chance of a night on the town

Transmission line is backbone of our future
Terrace Standard Wednesday, July 17, 2013 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7
Reaching north of our Skeena Substation is an engineering marvel – the Northwest Trans-
mission Line. Close to 1,100 steel towers, averaging 27 metres in height, are being erected. Stack them all together and they’re the equivalent to 78 Empire State buildings. Combined, the towers contain 10,600 tonnes of steel – comparable to 1.5 Eiffel towers.
Building a 344-kilometre, 287-kilovolt transmission line half-way to the Yukon is not easy. As northerners well know, the terrain is some of most rugged in all of B.C. and the weather can be extreme. A few weeks ago in this newspaper, BC Hydro acknowl-edged the project is facing sig-nificant construction challenges that have caused the cost to rise well beyond the original planning estimate. We’ve learned from this project and have put in place bet-ter cost-containment measures to ensure future projects remain on time and on budget.
The long-term value of the line is undisputable. Already, economic benefits are flowing directly locally with the project
creating 280 jobs during each of its three years of construction. We’re proud First Nation and Nisga’a Nation contractors have done the vast majority of work to date – clearing more than 300 ki-lometres of the right-of-way and building more than 200 kilome-tres of access roads. In addition, the Tahltan Nation Development Corporation prepared the site for the new Bob Quinn Substa-tion. First Nations and Nisga’a Nation representatives were also involved in environmental and ar-cheological work.
In preparation, more than 300 First Nations and Nisga’a Nation people participated in our skills-training “boot camps” – receiving certificate training in a range of areas, including chainsaw safety, helicopter safety, occupational first aid, and fire suppression. More than 70 per cent of partici-pants in the boot camps are now either working or pursuing fur-ther training.
In fact, the Gitanyow have de-veloped a permanent work camp at Meziadin that will employ many of their community mem-bers. The Gitanyow celebrated
the grand opening of the facil-ity last month. Designed for up to 200 beds, the work camp will serve a variety of big construction projects in the region in the com-ing years.
Whenever possible, transmis-sion line contractors are hiring locally and using local suppliers for things such as helicopters, surveying, environmental con-sulting, construction camps, and laydown areas. BC Hydro hosted business networking sessions in
Terrace for local sub-contractors and suppliers to maximize their opportunities to partner with the contractors. Valard – the contrac-tor building the line – reports that half of its construction la-bour force lives between Terrace and Bob Quinn, with the balance coming from other parts of Can-ada. It’s also important to note Valard’s work is being delivered under a project agreement with IBEW Local 258.
The line also has the ability to spur future industrial develop-ment. A report by the Mining As-sociation of B.C. estimated that the electrification of northwest B.C. has the potential to attract more than $15 billion in mining investment alone – creating up to 10,000 jobs and generating $300 million in annual tax revenues.
Recognizing the growing job opportunities, BC Hydro is sup-porting a Labour Market Part-nership program that included a study into the gap between the job skills required and the lo-cal skills available. The program is now implementing strategies to encourage former residents to move back to take advantage
of the work opportunities. For example, a one-stop web portal will act as an electronic hiring hall for all projects in the north-west, enabling users to post jobs, equipment, supplies and services needed. Recently, BC Hydro gave some four Coast Mountains School District graduates a head start through scholarships for post-secondary trades-training.
Lastly, I’d like to point out that despite the challenging con-ditions, construction is progress-ing well. About 95 per cent of the right-of-way has been cleared and 80 per cent of the access roads have been constructed. Close to 160 of the lattice towers have been assembled. The residents and businesses of the Northwest have long lobbied for this trans-mission line, and I want to extend my personal thanks to the region for your continued support. I look forward to celebrating with you in 2014 the completion of this unique project that will provide a backbone for regional develop-ment in Northwest B.C.
Charles Reid is President and Chief Executive Officer of BC Hydro.
Dear Sir:‘Music gives soul to the
universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything’ - Plato
It’s a sad day in the neigh-bourhood. We have a band that practices in our garage and in the summer they sometimes leave the door open. We like it when they have the door open, but not everyone does. We have had two letters now from
the city in the past year advis-ing us that we are breaking the noise bylaw. We are guilty, but it is the way this has come about that is sad.
The musicians that make up this nine piece band went through the school system of Terrace and most (if not all) went through the superb mu-sic programs in this town. As young people, they could have gone in many different direc-
tions, but in this case they chose music for a big part of their life.
When they play the Legion, they sell out. When they play George Little Park, they fill that too. And when they play on stages in Smithers, Prince George, Jasper, Edmonton, Calgary and Canmore they are loved there too. The thing is, the King Crow Band has to practice somewhere. Their
appreciative audiences know that.
All we ask is before running to the city, come see or call us, and come meet these impres-sive young people who write most of their own music and are all excellent musicians. We are approachable and accom-modating. It’s the neighbourly thing to do.

Poor neighbourly conduct
Dear Sir:I just received the latest taxpayer-funded news-
letter from our MP, Nathan Cullen. I have long been unhappy to have my tax dollars used to promote political parties but this latest issue is way over the top. Why should I be forced—through my taxes—to pay for NDP literature thinly disguised as news from Ottawa?
Our tax dollars paid for the printing and our tax dollars and postage stamps supported its “free” distri-bution. I have no problem with subsidizing legitimate communications between residents of Skeena-Bulk-ley Valley and our elected representative.
However, the use of this privilege to shamelessly promote the NDP and its leader is nothing short of taxpayer abuse. More than that, it’s an abuse of de-mocracy itself.
After the last federal election, the NDP received over $10 million in “reimbursements” from Cana-dian taxpayers. That’s $10 million they could spend on self-promotion without using the MP’s local newsletter as a propaganda tool. To use the perks of office and incumbency to push the NDP agenda at taxpayers’ expense is self-serving and unfair to vot-ers and the future candidates of other parties who do not have this privilege.
Thomas Jefferson said that it is tyranny “…to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbe-lieves…” I couldn’t agree more. CHP Canada, in contrast, receives NO taxpayer money and any lit-erature we distribute is paid for by our own support-ers, not by taxpayers. Voters should not be forced to pay for being brainwashed.

BRITISH COLUM-BIANS may have thought they got rid of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) this spring but the provincial gov-ernment has now qui-etly tacked another levy onto natural gas heating bills.
Called the Innova-tion Clean Energy (ICE) Fund, the tax amounts to .4 per cent of natural gas consumed.
It appeared on natu-ral gas bills as of April 1, the same date the HST disappeared, and also applies to fuel oil and some propane con-sumption. The tax is intended to subsidize companies and govern-ments of various kinds developing so-called “green energy” technol-ogies such as ones using solar, wind, wood waste or geothermal power.
It’s actually the sec-ond time a tax of this type has appeared – it was also called the ICE Fund when it � rst surfaced in 2007 as an add-on to heating bills. Payments to companies began the next year.
The tax disappeared in 2010, the same year the HST was intro-duced, but not before handing out approxi-mately $60 million of the $68 million collect-ed over its lifetime.
The remainder of the money was disbursed to various projects af-ter the ICE tax ended and new projects were � nanced with money from the province’s general revenue ac-count.
The province says it has provided more than $77 million to 62 clean energy and technology projects.
This time around provincial of� cials ex-pect the tax to bring in
approximately $7 mil-lion a year for subsidies to green technology companies and projects.
Authority for the ICE levy is contained within the provincial Social Services Tax Act which is why it was stopped when the pro-vincial sales tax was replaced with the HST in 2010.
So when the HST was stopped, the provin-cial sales tax reappeared and with it, the ICE tax. The original ICE mon-ies went to companies such as Earth Renu Energy Corp of Delta which received $1 mil-lion to turn urban or-ganic waste into natural gas.
The T’Sou-ke First
Nation at Sooke also re-ceived $1 million for a green heating and cool-ing system for use in an industrial greenhouse.
But not all of the an-nounced projects in the � rst ICE go around ac-tually did receive mon-ey. That list includes Pytrade, a company which had its eyes � xed on Kitimat, and which, according to a July 2011 provincial govern-ment press release, was to receive $1 million.
Pytrade’s plan was to use a fast-heating process to convert wood waste and other bio mass into oil to create electricity and to create bio-coal and biogas.
Kitimat’s municipal council embraced the
project but nothing has taken place since early announcements.
“Pytrade did not enter into a contribu-tion agreement with the province and no portion of the $1 million was administered,” said the provincial government in response to ques-tions. “In March 2012 funding was rescinded as the project did not suf� ciently meet the program’s guidelines.”
In all 17 initially ap-proved projects either withdrew from the pro-gram or were rescinded, a value of $18.5 million, the province added.
That money was then reallocated to other projects within the ICE program.
Tax creeps onto gas bills

COAST MOun-TAinS School District (CMSD) bid farewell to one of its senior staff at the end-of-year board meeting, with a pre-sentation for director of aboriginal education Cheryl Sebastian who is moving on to a similar position in Kamloops in order to be closer to her family.
Terrace school trust-ee Roger Leclerc gave the presentation, which detailed her rise through the district, on behalf of the board of education trustees at the June 19 meeting.
Sebastian started her career with the district in 1980 at John Field Elementary in Hazel-ton, where she played a number of roles in the classroom – library, computers, Gitxsan Language & Culture.
She then left the district for six years to teach at northbound El-ementary and Kispiox community schools, before returning to John Field in 1990. Seven
years later she became the vice-principal of student support services in Hazelton.
in March 2000 she completed her mas-
ters of education from unBC while working full-time.
"i remember those days," quipped trustee Leclerc. "i was doing
mine at the same time."Sebastian was prin-
cipal at John Field, and then Clarence Michiel in Terrace, now Su-wilaawks Community School, before mov-ing to the board office as district principal of aboriginal education, which was then rede-fined as director of ab-original education.
"CMSD extends its sincere thanks to Cheryl's many contribu-tions to learner success within the district with her years of service and dedication," he said.
Sebastian said she has treasured her time at the district.
"My years working in SD82 have been in-credible and i will trea-sure the memories that i take with me," she said. "i have worked with an incredible team of educational leaders and community partners over the years and will certainly miss them."
Sebastian's replace-ment has not yet been announced.

THE AMOunT of teachers in the Coast Mountains School Dis-trict (CMSD) who re-ceived layoff notices this year is down sub-stantially from last year, with 27 teachers receiv-ing notice compared to last year's nearly 50.
That's because esti-mates indicate the dis-trict is only going to lose about 30 students in the coming school year, whereas last year that number was closer to 100, said school board chair Art Erasmus.
“We are heading in a better direction than we did last year,” he said.
And this might be the new normal – at least for the next few years. Erasmus said the district's long-term pro-jections show that by 2016 the enrolment de-cline will have stopped.
“We may be seeing an incline,” he said, of the district's make up af-ter 2016. “Part of what we presently experience is that the number of kindergarten kids that come into the school is smaller than the number of kids that graduate in Grade 12, so that arith-
metic tells you that we are shrinking.
“But when the bulge of the large classes will have graduated, and the number of kids that graduate and the number of kids coming to kindergarten are ap-proximately equal, then we're not going to have a decline.”
And he noted that this year's student esti-mates present a differ-ent staffing challenge – when bits and pieces of the population leave a school, than it's not one teacher or one job less in the school, but a frac-tion of a position that needs to be cut or filled.
it's yet to be deter-mined how many of those layoff notices will be rescinded – each year layoff notices are issued to teachers, with a portion of those re-hired by September de-pending on job postings and seniority. Erasmus said those numbers will be available by the end of August.
And although last year saw a higher num-ber of teacher's retiring than usual, which off-set the high number of layoff notices, this year that does not appear to
be the case, with only half a dozen teacher's
giving notice of retire-ment to date.
Less layoffs than last year
TERRACE RCMP arrested a 41-year-old man for cutting the throat of another man in Terrace July 8.

ksan girls group paddles on Pine lake July 4. On the water here are leader Brianna Phillips, Micca asuncioin, rea-gan ippel, Zoe Presby and shayla Hudson.
A TERRACE RCMP officer is spending time with tween and teen girls as a positive role model to help them through those difficult years.
Community policing officer Const. Angela Rabut got together with various community orga-nizations to discuss how important it was for girls to have positive role models.
“The ages of 12 to 15 years can be difficult ones,” she said.
“Girls at this age are figuring out who they are and this is influenced by others involved in their lives.”
Ksan took the lead and formed the Ksan Girls Group and for the second year have received fi-nancing and hired two students to run a summer mentorship program for girls, said Rabut.
“The RCMP has committed to taking part in this program, including organizing four of the days,” she said.
“I am hoping to show these young woman that under this uniform and public light that I am a still just a girl like them, with hopes and fears and the gauntlet of human emotions that comes with being a girl. I want to instill [them with] pride and confi-dence of being a girl.”
She hangs out with the girls, such as going ca-noeing or hiking, and talking about how life is not easy and that is okay, about boys, relationships, school, friends, bullying, parents, hobbies, future aspirations, and other things, she said.
“It is so important for girls to accept themselves for who they are,” said Rabut.
“It is equally important for girls to have the con-fidence to try new things and push themselves.”
She tells them about some of her successes, and some of her failures and shares her life experiences, she said, adding that as the key lead agency, Ksan House Society has done an excellent job.

Students show projects at provincial fair

FIvE YOUNG history buffs showed off their projects to a new audience at the Provincial Heritage Fair and week-long history camp.
Michael Munday, Myah Bowal, Nicole Lofroth, Sebastian Heron and Morgyn Budden earned their spots at the provincial event after receiving top honours at the regional fair held here in the spring.
With confidence and enthusi-asm, the young students explained their projects to a crowd circulating through the July 7 exhibit held in the Royal BC Museum. Given the task of creating a research project on a sig-nificant person or event in Canadian history, each student came up with his or her own unique ideas.
Twelve-year-old Munday turned to a local history book provided by his mother Kelly.
“The Terrace Mutiny of 1944 re-ally captured my interest,” he said.
The Grade 8 student found a per-sonal connection with his story: his great-grandfather was serving with the 11th Field Ambulance unit in Ter-race during the mutiny.
He found additional information on the subject through old newspaper articles and the internet.
The 3,000-strong soldiers sta-tioned in Terrace from 1942 to 1945 were not happy with their remote posting. Rations were short, ameni-ties were non-existent and winters were cold, he said.
But they chose home defence du-ties at the start of the Second World War instead of serving in the line of fire overseas thanks to a deal offered by then-Prime Minister Mackenzie King. When King reneged on the un-derstanding in November, 1944, the Terrace-based embittered soldiers went on strike.
A long-time personal interest in dance led 13-year-old Lofroth to re-search the history of Canada’s re-nowned Royal Winnipeg Ballet.
“I’ve danced since I was three,” said the Skeena Middle School stu-dent, noting she practises five days a week. Under the guidance of dance teacher Leah Gunther, Nicole hopes to one day be part of the Winnipeg-based troupe.
A member of the Terrace Kermode Bantam Girls hockey team, Bowal was among the millions of proud Canadians during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games held in vancouver.

ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT step to provide power north of here is scheduled to take a step forward with the selection of a contractor.
The project involves a 287kV line running 93km north of Bob Quinn on Hwy37 North to Tatogga Lake where a smaller line will then run east to con-nect to the Red Chris copper and gold mine now being built by Imperial Metals.
Imperial has formed a subsidiary for the project which is to be � nished next spring.
It’s a crucial time period for that’s when the Red Chris mine is to be completed and when BC Hydro’s 344km Northwest Transmission Line, which starts at the Skeena Substation just south of Terrace and which stops at Bob Quinn, is also to be completed and ready to supply power to Red Chris.
“Contractor selection for line construction is expected by the end of July,” says Red Chris vice president Steve Robertson.
“Local residents, especially Tahltan, will make up a signi� cant component of the workforce, par-ticularly in areas such as right of way clearing, earthworks and environmental supervision. The to-tal workforce number will � uctuate with a peak of about 130,” he said.
As vital as the new project is to the Red Chris mine, it is also part of the overall strategy of provid-ing power to the north using the Northwest Trans-mission Line as a foundation.
At 287kV, the new project, called the Iskut ex-tension, is larger than what’s needed by the Red Chris mine.
Under a deal signed with BC Hydro this spring, the line will be sold to the crown corporation for a � at fee of $52 million with the Imperial subsidiary on the hook for any amount above that.
It means BC Hydro will be ready to supply power through the extension to other customers, primarily mining companies, should their projects prove viable.
BC Hydro of� cials say the deal is a good one for its � ts both the needs of Imperial Metals and of itself and comes with a � xed price.
It expects to recover the $52 million it will pay for the extension by charging customers based on the amount of capacity of the line they wish to use.
But those customers will also pay for other costs associated with the project, adds BC Hydro.
“That comprises the � xed price cost to purchase [the extension] as well as the costs to upgrade the Bob Quinn Substation and build the new Tatogga Substation, and also the costs of the distribution line from Tatogga Lake Substation to Iskut, for a total project cost of approximately $127 million,” said BC Hydro in background material.
The extension is also important to BC Hydro for another reason – it moves power closer to the small community of Iskut which is now dependent upon diesel generators for electricity.
That’s because BC Hydro is getting a $130 mil-lion federal green infrastructure grant to help defray the costs of the increasingly expensive Northwest Transmission Line on the condition it take Iskut off of diesel power within a year of the transmission line being � nished.
To date, BC Hydro estimates running a small distribution line north of Tatogga Lake, where the Iskut extension is to stop, to Iskut, a distance of about 16km, will cost $5 million.

Almost 20 years ago when PNGI first started to provide employment services to adults with disabilities we thought, ‘How hard could it be?’… It didn’t take long to realize that it was very challenging indeed. The ‘traditional’ ways of finding a job like building a resume, checking the classified ads in the newspaper, applying for a job and going on an interview just weren’t working well. We very quickly figured out that we needed some new strategies or tools in order to help people with disabilities and often multiple barriers to employment, become employed.
We began searching for ‘Non-traditional’ strategies and tools. We found some good strategies that ended up working for us and then we developed a few new ones of our own that also worked very well. All in all, we put together a model of supporting people to find real and meaningful paid work in their community.
Over the years our employment service has grown and the number of staff we have working in the employment program has increased. We went from working only with people with developmental disabilities to now working with a wide range of disabilities from learning disabilities to autism spectrum disorders, to mental health issues.
Year after year one thing that we know is that our model and method for helping people find employment works. Our success rates are very high for a specialized service and that suc-cess remains solid even with ups and downs in the economy and the unemployment rates for the general population.
Over the years, word of this successful employment program in Terrace has spread and we have had a number of agencies from around BC and the Yukon actually send their staff to Ter-race to see first-hand how our methods work. In addition to that, PNGI’s directors have been asked to consult with other groups and mentor other employment agencies in larger urban centers on how to replicate our success. We’ve even gone on a speaking tour to every corner of the province to teach groups about our model!
All in all we are very proud of the accomplishments our small, rural agency has made in the world of specialized employment services, and we’re proud to call Terrace our home.
“Diverse-Ability” By, Chris Arnold M.Sc. psych, CESP
There is a huge spectrum in the world of disability, from mild to moderate to severe. There is no one kind or type of disability. Some disabilities are visible, such as person with a physical disability and others can be almost impossible to notice, such as a learning disability, an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) or mental health issues.
Many people with a disability are very capable of working. In 2006 there were 228,750 working age British Columbians with a disability who were not working, even though their disability did not completely prevent them from working. In many cases it’s not the disability that gets in the way of the person being a productive and valuable employee, but the assumptions of non-disabled people who make hiring decisions.
A labour market study in 2009 found that BC’s disabled persons were more highly educated than the national average with a higher post-secondary education completion rate. It also found that fewer than 1 in 5 persons with a disability required job redesign and most workplace accommodations that were required involved relatively little cost and did not require major changes to how the work is performed.
The fact is that there is no common skill set for all people with disabilities as each person is unique. There is no specific type of job that is perfect for a person with a disability but there are many people with disabilities that are very capable of filling a wide variety of jobs.
Benefits of disability diversity in the workforceWith 12.8% of BC’s population (355,430 people) reporting to have a disability, it is a signif-icant segment of our population. This segment is only going to increase as our population ages. People with disabilities and their families and support systems have real purchasing power. They are consumers. They are people that make significant purchasing decisions. People with disabilities are part of our community and should also be part of our workforce.
As someone who has been involved in helping people with disabilities become meaningfully involved in the labour force in BC for over 18 years I can attest to the real value of a more diverse workplace. Our agency and other agencies like ours have been involved in story after story of businesses that were hesitant about hiring a person with a disability at first, but after doing so could see the many benefits this diversity added to their workplace. The ripple effects will be seen within the other co-workers, the customers and the larger com-munity when people with disabilities are included in the labour force.
Take action on diversity and disabilityAsk yourself, as a business person or someone involved in making hiring decisions, what have you done to ensure diversity in your workplace and in particular, disability diversity, “Diverseability”.
There are many agencies, programs and services that can help you hire a person(s) with a disability and ensure your workplace reflects the communities it serves. Diversity, in all its forms, is good for business.

People with disabilities and their families, friends and support networks all have local pur-chasing power here in Terrace. Surveys have shown that people like to support businesses that reflect and represent the community they serve. People with disabilities are part of our community. In fact 1 in 7 British Columbians has a disability.
• PNGI has two decades of experience supporting many different types of jobs in many different industries. We have a long standing, proven track record of success.
• PNGI is focused on the needs of the employer, not just the person looking for work and will be sensitive and attentive to your needs.
• PNGI is always looking for opportunities to promote the businesses that hire people through our program. Through news stories, our annual calendar, awards, and word of mouth, we will help promote your business locally.
• People with disabilities often have much higher retention rates compared to typically abled employees. Staff turnover costs businesses money – higher retention rates save businesses money.
• People hired through PNGI come with their own experienced job coach / trainer to help ensure solid training and good productivity. This often results in better trained employees at no cost to the new employer.

Non Traditional Job Development StrategiesIf it isn’t broke, don’t fix it… but if what you’re doing isn’t working try something different. These are some good words of wisdom to live by. In our work in the employment field with people with disabilities we learned very quickly that many of the old traditional methods of finding employment just weren’t working.
We decided to do things differently and have developed a great deal of knowledge and expertise in the area of “Non Traditional Job Development”. In fact we have become so good at it that we have produced toolkits, and training programs that we’ve delivered around the province and across the country! Here are some of the things we do differently:
• See networking and using a business approach to job development as being essential.
• We make sure we are active and contributing members of our community.
• We created a tool called a “Job Seeker Profile” that we use instead of a resume.
• We do “Situational Assessments” instead of traditional work experiences.
• We write job proposals to businesses instead of sending people through a traditional ap-plication process.
We are a team of creative people that can figure out ways to get things done for the benefit of local business and people looking for employment who have diverse abilities.
Dual Priority / Dual Focus In Job DevelopmentAt PNGI we learned very early on, that there are two very important parts to an employer / employee relationship. Traditional employment counselors tend to focus mainly on one side of the equation, which is getting someone from their list employed. Cold calling employers look-ing for job opportunities without any real understanding of the business they are contacting is an old and one-sided approach. Although most employment programs will claim to provide “a good match for a job”, how can they truly do that if they don’t spend some time specifically learning about the business, the types of jobs and the culture of the workplace?
PNGI has a dual priority and a dual focus. We have proven over the past two decades that this method is successful. Our employment coordinators spend time getting to know a business onsite, doing research, interviews, tours, listening to customer experiences and even being a customer of the business themselves. We are always interested to learn something new about a local business. These efforts don’t always equal a job for someone right away, but that doesn’t make them any less valuable as we never know when that ideal candidate might come through our doors looking for work.
As we are working on developing a job opportunity in a local business, we are very careful to ensure we can outline the benefits to the employer and the business of hiring the person we have in mind. Things like cost benefit analysis, return on investment, and added value are all important to highlight when building a case to hire a person with a disability. We make it our job to show you exactly how you will benefit by diversifying your workforce with help from PNGI.
After we successfully help an employer hire someone through our employment program we stay involved to help ensure there is comprehensive training provided for the new employee. In many cases it will be PNGI staff, under the business person’s direction, that provide the training on-site. We also want to ensure productivity and that there is confidence in the new employees’ ability to get the job(s) done before our employment coordinators pull back from the worksite. Even once we are no longer supporting the new employee on the work site we continue to be involved with regular check-ins over the long term. If there are any perfor-mance issues, changes in job duties or the nature of the job, PNGI’s employment coordina-tors will be available to help ensure everything goes smoothly.
Both the employer and the employee are an important part of the job development process.
Recognizing and Celebrating Some Employment VIP’sOn June 18th there was an amazing gathering at the beautiful Skeena Valley Golf Course in Terrace, BC. The gathering, hosted by PNGI was a celebration of many local business people and employees that have helped promote diversity and hiring of people with disabilities in our community. There was also special recognition given to a number of employees for long service in their particular jobs. These were local people that were assisted in finding employ-ment through PNGI.
Coordinated by PNGI’s own Bonnie Hayward the event included a fantastic lunch catered by the great cooks at the golf course. As the guests were enjoying their lunch the awards of recognition rolled out. Mayor Dave Pernarowski, also the former employment coordinator at PNGI, joined us to present some special recognition awards. Skeena MLA, Robin Austin at-tended as well and helped distribute a number of fantastic door prizes consisting of products or services from local Terrace Businesses.
Awards were presented to the following businesses:
• J&F Distributors • Boston Pizza • My Fitness Centre• Totem Ford • Walmart • Safeway• Kal Tire • Hawkair • Tim Horton’s• Skeena Valley Golf Course • Scotiabank • McDonalds• Premium Trucking • The Brick • Blackstone’s• Chill • Northern Savings • Father Terry (Catholic Church)
Special congratulations to Lisa from McDonalds for winning the grand prize door-prize of two return tickets to Vancouver on Hawkair!
PNGI is very grateful to have had the opportunity over almost two decades to work with so many great local businesses and employees. We look forward to many more years of promoting diversity in the workplace and employment for people with disabilities in our community and beyond. Special thank you also to BC’s Ministry of Social Development for providing funding for PNGI’s specialized employment services in Terrace.

At the recent Employment Recognition Awards Luncheon, six businesses / individuals were recognized for some unique and important reasons. Here is a look at those six:
Premium TruckingKelly Nunn, Branch Manager at Premium Trucking had worked with PNGI’s employment program before in a previous position. In his new role he recognized the value that a person with a disability could bring to the workplace and so he picked up the phone and called our office. Kelly and Premium Trucking were presented with the “Thanks for Calling Us” Award!
The BrickThe owners of the Brick in Terrace have given back to the community in many ways including donations to the community, supporting different projects and being an example of a diverse workforce through their hiring practices. We are happy to also have worked with the good folks at the Brick on more than one occasion. The Brick was presented with the “Community Booster” Award.
Blackstone’sThe first person Blackstone’s hired through PNGI’s employment program started doing outside grounds work. They saw his potential and brought him into the kitchen to teach him some new jobs. The next person they hired had graduated from the Culinary Arts program and they mentored him in the art of Blackstone’s fine dining. Blackstone’s was presented with the “Mentoring Talent & Diversity” Award.
Northern Savings Credit Union Silas was a man determined to work. It was something he wanted more than anything. Northern Savings saw his potential when he approached them on his own with a resume he had one of his support people help him create. They helped Silas fulfill his dream. He got to wear a suit and tie, he had his own scooter parking spot and one of his official job duties was to make everyone smile! It was much more than just a job for Silas. Northern Savings Credit Union was presented with the “Fulfilling a Lifelong Dream” Award in loving memory of Silas Clayton.
Father Terry – Catholic ChurchEven though a church isn’t the first place you think of as an employer, Father Terry took the opportunity to provide paid work doing all those little things that are necessary for the operation of the church. By doing so he helped promote the value of real work for real pay. Father Terry was presented with the “Recognizing the Value of Real Work for Real Pay” Award.
ChillSharon, the new owner of Chill was open to trying out a unique way of promoting some of their great new product lines. Max took baskets of assorted Chill goodies to offices around town to tempt new customers with a convenient way to get their sweet fix! Chill was presented with the “Cool Customized Job” Award.

Rio Tinto Alcan’s new smelter will have a near 50% less overall environment emission impact.
Our CommitmentThe health and safety of Kitimat smelter operations employees, their families and the wider community is a priority for Rio Tinto Alcan. This is why Rio Tinto Alcan has committed to working in close cooperation with the BC Ministry of Environment to ensure regular ongoing monitoring, and if necessary, to take action to mitigate any impacts of increased SO2 on human health and the environment.
Fact: Sulphur Dioxide is directly related to amount of aluminium produced.
Fact: On a per ton basis, the same amount of SO2 per ton with the new smelter, as with the old.
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) decrease by 98%
Total Particulates decrease by 80%
Fluorides (HF) decrease by 72%
Greenhouses Gases (GHGs) decrease by 36%
Sulphur Dioxide SO2 increase by 56%

Youths gain awareness, self-esteemThe annual Youth on
the Water program saw 16 young people take one week to raft local rivers for awareness of conservation and to build self-esteem.
While rafting on the Kitimat, Skeena and Cop-per rivers, they saw bears, eagles and salmon running the river and first nation elders welcomed them to their territories.
At the beginning of this month, an all women/girls program saw more young people rafting down the Skeena. The programs are run by the Skeena Water-shed Coalition.

Youth on the Water participants raft down a local river earlier this summer.
“We won the most gold medals in Olym-pic history,” the Grade 8 student beamed.
That got her thinking about, and research-ing, the games as a project.
“The most interesting thing I learned was that the medals were made out of recycled metals and computer circuit boards,” she said.
For fellow classmate Budden, a family vacation across Canada sparked an interest in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Her project featured photographs of puf-fins and explanations about the province’s flags and history.
With roots in the Kaska Tlingit territory and an artist, Dean Heron, as a father, Her-
on’s exhibit looked at the history of First Na-tions art and the cultural use of tools.
He discovered the impact European set-tlers and authorities had on aboriginals in B.C.
While in B.C.’s capital for the five days leading up to the exhibition, the 80 students and their chaperones toured a number of
educational and heritage sites including the Royal BC Museum, the Parliament Build-ings, Fort Rodd Hill, Fisgard Lighthouse and Canada’s oldest Chinatown.
This year, the students also toured Ross Bay Cemetery where many of B.C.’s first settlers were buried, including Sir James Douglas and Emily Carr.

BC heritage fair welcomes local students
A LOCAL writer now has some-thing to add to the cover of any subsequent printings of his book.
It’s the Gold Seal of Liter-ary Excellence and was given to Willy Schneider for his life story, “Such is Life,” in the spring.
The seal, which looks exactly like an imprint made by a stamp in melted wax, belongs to the
U.S. Review of Books.It also supplied a book review,
a portion of which Schneider can now include on the back cover of his autobiography. Schneider’s story takes in his youth in his na-tive Germany, his experiences as a young soldier in the German army during the Second World War and his time now spent in
Canada. Schneider already has had three printings of the book.
It took five years to write and went through six revisions before seeing print.
“I would get new ideas and those who were looking at it gave their own ideas,” Schneider said of the writing phase. He has no plans for any further books.

Elizabeth Georgina Kofoed (nee Gaudie) Retired librarian at Northwest Community College, married to George Kofoed, passed peacefully at Terraceview on 5 July, 2013, aged 79. Much loved mother to her children with Guy Rushton: Michael (Linnea), Debbie (Stephanie) Andrew (Deanna), and Liz (Matthew), she was grandmother to Christopher (Rebecca), Michael, Jamie (Bethany), Katherine, Marleigh, Jeffrey, Luke and Ben and great grandmother to Jaxon. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. A small private family gathering was held to honour our “mum” in Terrace.
It is with great sadness that the Degerness Family announces the passing of Clarence Degerness. Clarence was born in Rose Valley, Sask. on April 27,1930 to Ernest and Fairy Degerness. He was the oldest of eight children. Clarence was predeceased by his parents; brother, Clifton; sister, Esther (Kirsch); wife, Margaret; son, Walter; and daughter, Norrey (Kendall). He leaves to grieve, his devoted companion, Norma Helgason; his daughter, Peggy-Sue; grandchildren, Dereck and Brian Kendall and Erin Degerness; brothers, Clifford, Truman, Aldred and Larry; sister Faye Sparks and several nieces and nephews. Clarence passed away peacefully at Terraceview Lodge with loved ones by his side on June 20, 2013.
The Degerness Family would like to thank all of the Terraceview staff for the remarkable care that Clarence received during the three and a half years he was a resident of the lodge. Also, thanks to the Happy Gang Center for the care and help with the Memorial Tea held on June 28, 2013. The family appreciates all condolences and kindness shown to them during this diffi cult time.
Clarence DegernessApril 27, 1930 - June 20, 2013
To all of our friends,It is with mixed emotions that we write this letter. On one hand my family and I are looking forward to a new adventure in Abbotsford, but on the other hand we all have a heavy hearts as we prepare to leave our friends in Terrace. The amount of time taken to do our shopping has increased immensely since our departure was announced, as friends come up to us to wish us their best on our move. We will cherish the years we have spent in Terrace. Not only has it been our home for 16 years, it is also the place where our kids Alek, Lara, and Nick were born and raised. Terrace and the whole northwest is a very special place and will always be for our family.We would also like to thank the whole community for the support that you have given to Hawkair. Although we are moving, Hawkair and its 120 people will continue to support the northwest as the whole northwest moves forward with a vibrant economy. Your support of Hawkair has allowed Hawkair to contribute back to the community. Never under estimate the value of having your own local airline.Stop by for a visit if you come to Abbotsford, I know I will do my best to get up to Terrace as often as I can. Thank you for all the kind words – we will certainly miss you.

NorthmeN James mcKinstrie rushes past a member of the Prince rupert seamen. the Northmen flew past the seamen in a dominating 36-0 win on July 6 here in terrace.
Northmen shut out SeamenThe TeRRace Northmen once again acted as staunch defenders of their home turf, dominating the Prince Ru-pert Seamen in a stunning 36-0 win on July 13 at the Northwest community college field.
“Lots of aggressive play, lots of for-ward crashes, and great tackles,” said Terrace player evan van Dyk, noting the biggest contributing factor to the win was the Northmen’s defensive play.
“We have been working on our defensive plays a lot this year and it’s really paid off in our games,” he said. “We’ve seen that with a 5-5 game against Williams Lake and shutting out Prince Rupert twice.”
Defensive efforts were certainly clear in the game against Prince Ru-pert, with tackles that turned into turnovers, followed by big runs by the Northmen to boot.
But that wasn’t for lack of trying by the spirited Seamen, who came with 15 players from both Prince Rupert and Smithers and added two North-men to their roster for subs, and never let up.
“We competed hard and we played our best, but ultimately we weren’t able to match Terrace,” said Prince Rupert player George Baker, who noted the Northmen are always a challenge to play.
“They’re playing Division II rugby and we’re just not at that level,” he said. “They are always competitive, have a good shot at provincials this year and consistently get 30 players out for prac-tice where we don’t have those num-bers.”
But despite this strong win, the
Northmen concede they still have work to do.
“We know that we need more work on our rucking and some of our set plays, the line outs and scrums. If we want a chance to compete with Wil-liams Lake, we need to keep working hard,” said van Dyk.
“We are never overly confident in rugby against any team, one try can win a game,” he continued.
In this game, Northmen tries were scored by arlen Fifield (2), Jordy Dacosta (2), chance healey, and Tyson Stoochnoff, with Stoochnoff and Don hill named man of the matches by the Prince Rupert players.
and the Northmen are just return-ing from a roadtrip where they played against the Prince George Gnats and the Williams Lake Rustlers (see next week’s Terrace Standard for those re-sults).
at press time, the Northmen were sitting at 2-0-1 in the season, with Prince George at 2-3-0, Prince Rupert at 0-5-0, and Williams Lake at 4-0-1 – meaning two wins would take them to provincials.
League play consists of all of the northern teams playing one home and one away game against each other, with the team with the best record represent-ing the North at the Saratoga cup, Di-vision 3 Provincials in Penticton this September.
The Northmen are also gearing up to host the annual Riverboat Days 7s tournament that sees games with lines of seven per side taking to the pitch rather than the traditional 15.

BC Hockey awards MunsonTeRRace hOckey player Rhett Munson is one of three high school graduates in the province to be awarded a scholarship from Bc hockey to put towards post-secondary education.
The District Scholarship – North West recognizes students who have excelled in both their academic achievements and con-tributions to their communities and the sport of hockey.
Munson made honour roll for all four terms of high school and was a leader on the Terrace Midget Reps’ squad – a team that showed grace under pressure this year after their hopes of travelling to provincials were crushed following a controversial ap-peal process.
But now Munson is off to Okanagan col-lege to study civil engineering, where he will continue to play hockey for fun and fitness.
and with his graduation from both hock-ey and high school, that means his father, Darren, will be taking a step back from Ter-race Minor hockey – an organization he has been heavily involved in for the past seven years in a number of roles, including board member, vice-president, and team manager.

City council’s all ‘bout roller derbyThe NORTh coast Nightmares roller derby team won a different kind of bout last week, this one of the administrative kind.
Team representative Jessica hogg was successful in her re-quest to city council on august 31 to have a $750 rental fee waived for an event scheduled august 31 at the Terrace Sportsplex – a bout against the visiting Dawson creek team Zero Mile Mercy.
“It is our hope to foster a mu-tually beneficial relationship with the community,” hogg said as she told council about the growing sport, making note that paying for out-of-town referees and hosting the visiting team can be incredibly expensive. The sport is only a few years old in Terrace, and the hope is that once more people see what the sport is about, more people will join in.
hogg said the team will offer a
sponsorship package to the city in return, and added the Nightmares had donated money from their own fundraising to community programs.
Director of leisure services car-men Didier had already lowered the rink rental from the traditional $1,500 rate, and there was discus-sion over what kind of precedent waiving the entire fee would set for with regards to future requests.
“To me, there is a bit of an is-sue about where to draw the line,” said mayor David Pernarowski, referencing a previous decision to decline a similar request by the Terrace Motocross association.
But he noted that the Night-mares had strong support around the council table, including coun-cillors Brian Downie and Stacey Tyers, who both spoke in favour of waving the fee.

Fair days on the fairway The Ladies Open fared better than the Men’s Open in terms of weather, but both featured strong participant numbers and solid sportsmanship at the annual events, held at the skee-na Valley Golf and Country Club (sVGC).
The Men’s Open, held Canada day long weekend, saw 83 players take to the green, with dave Venman finishing as the Overall Low Gross winner, and Chris Vandemosselar as the Overall Low Net winner.
“The weather was spotty and the scores were similar,” said Tom Leach, in the sVGC newsletter, noting that the greens were running fast and smooth.
and the Ladies Open boasted beautiful weather and course condi-
tions for the 52 woman who partici-pated in the competition, held July 6 and 7.
The team of aina Pettersen from Terrace, and Carol schaeffer from Rupert took the Overall Low Gross win, with the team of Fran Fraser and Coranne dohler from smithers taking the Overall Low Net.
Men’s and Ladies’ nights at the club continue to be popular – as is the Junior program that sees more than 40 young golfers take to the course on Tuesday nights to learn skills and golf etiquette from the club’s head professional Germain Francoeur and a handful of volunteers.

“The cost to bring in six refs – even from Prince George – it's quite an expense just because we don't have the capacity here,” said Tyers. “But as they grow the sport, they can grow that capacity.”
she also noted it's important for council to support up-and-coming initiatives.
“We support a lot of things that have been financially stable for years and i think it's a good idea to support something up-and-coming,” she said, noting it would provide them with the opportunity to showcase themselves to the community, and grow the sport.
The Nightmares are also looking for a new surface for practice and
scrimmage. Currently they use out-door tennis courts on Kalum, and have used the hawkair hanger in the past.
“There are simply not enough fa-cilities to support roller derby,” hogg said.
The team is also hopeful it might gain access to the Thornhill Jr. sec-ondary school gym, which has been being used by community sport groups since the school closed last year.
Councillor James Cordiero ex-cused himself from the debate and vote, as he employs members of the roller derby team and has financially supported them in the past.
