Benefits alliance gathers steam

Mother not at faultBy MARGARET SPEIRS

A CIVIL B.C. Supreme Court case to decide who was at fault in a 2010 car accident has found that the mother of a local teen left a paraplegic was not to blame.

Madame Justice Neena Sharma in the written decision of her June 9, 2015 judg-ment cleared driver and former Terrace resi-

dent Karen Millard for a Nov. 15, 2010 crash on Hwy16 outside of Vanderhoof that left Millard’s older daughter Rheann Armes in a wheelchair paralyzed from the waist down.

Millard’s younger daughter, Celin, suf-fered a broken back but there was no perma-nent damage.

A BID to have the provincial government return a share of northwest resource taxation revenue to the area now has the support of all local gov-ernments from Vanderhoof to the North Coast.

The commitment of all 21 local governments in the region and the rural direc-tors from its three regional districts will strengthen the case being made by the Northwest B.C. Resource Benefits Alliance, says Sta-cey Tyers, the chair of the Kitimat-Stikine regional district.

“I feel optimistic. The larger the voice, the louder you are,” said Tyers who is also a City of Terrace coun-cillor.

The alliance was formed last year through the City of Terrace and the Kitimat-Stikine regional district with other local northwest gov-ernments and it has been adding members since.

Its basis is that should large industrial projects take hold in the area, they’ll have an impact on local govern-ment services.

But since those projects will by and large be beyond the taxing powers of local governments, the province should return a portion of its tax revenue from those proj-ects to help local govern-ments cope with increased service demand and costs.

The alliance has already been turned down by the

province for money to con-tinue its work but it now has a letter from Premier Chris-ty Clark saying local gov-ernment minister Coralee Oakes will be in touch, said Tyers.

Having all local govern-ments now as members of the alliance should speed up that contact, she added.

“Agreements reached with industry, individual lo-cal governments, and First Nations prove that it is pos-sible to be proactive when it comes to the negotia-tion of revenue sharing for the multi-sector economic expansion now underway across northwest B.C.,” she said.

First Nations govern-

ments in the area aren’t members of the alliance as they already have a place at the resource revenue sharing table with the province, she said.

“For them, it would be a step backward. What we’re trying to do is get a place at

the table,” said Tyers.The alliance is modelled

after agreements between the province in other parts of the province, including the northeast where it has guar-anteed annual payments to local governments there.

Tyers said the alliance

is following up on a 2013 provincial election promise, since repeated by Clark, for a rural dividend from re-source development.

Alliance members will gather in Terrace in mid-August to discuss their next steps.

Planting restores habitatBy ANNA KILLEN

IN THE end, it was the biology of trees that helped propel the Kit-selas First Nation into action to reforest land along the Skeena River east of Terrace.

The Tsimdimaas Tri-Nation Reclamation Project, a move to rein-vigorate areas affected by logging and other activity, is the Kitse-las arm of the broader scheme that is the Tri-Nation environmental initiative, a pilot proj-ect between the Haisla, Kitselas, and Kitsum-kalum.

It’s meant to see por-tions of Tsimshian land in the Tsimdimaas area (also called Chimde-mash) reclaimed and restored in an attempt to remediate increasing industrial development and provide employ-ment for members.

For more than a year, the Kitselas took

part in community and partner discussions as to the work that should be done. The broad idea was to plant cedar for future cultural use and soapberries and salmon berries.

A 20-acre section, however, would not be replanted and instead be set aside while ideas were being developed for everything from a sod farm, � eld nursery, cattle grazing, cran-berry farm, medicinal plants garden or an RV park.

But words turned into action when new-ly-hired Kitselas First Nation economic devel-opment of� cer Calvin Carlick got caught up with the project. He was told that if any replant-ing was to be done this

year, he had two weeks to put the project into action.

“I had to catch up extremely fast because I was under a biologi-cal timeline to get these trees in the ground,” said Carlick.

Without too much trouble, Carlick hired � ve Kitselas members and the team spent about eight days in June in the � eld planting 16,000 saplings over � ve square kilometres roughly three-and-a-half metres apart.

“It’s a lot of trees when you think about it,” said Carlick.

The Chimdemash area, which was logged as far back as the late 1800s and as recently as 2010, is ripe for ber-ries and other uses, with

deep soil that is good for agriculture.

Fittingly, Carlick de-scribes this portion of the tri-nation project as the “seed stage” where the group tests things out and sees if there’s potential to start a company using federal money set aside to ease the effects of industrial development projects.

Carlick said work-ing with the Haisla and the Kitsumkalum is the most interesting part of the project.

“That’s really pow-erful – especially from a business perspective,” he said.

But don’t expect to see berries gathered at Tsimdimaas for sale at local markets or for wide distribution – the project won’t be that

large. “It’s more of a showpiece – something you can talk about. Lo-cals can come by and check out Tsimdimaas,” he said. “And based on community feedback they’ve said they’re go-ing to plant some soap-berries around the vil-lage so the elders can access the berries more easily.”

TOO MANY people in Terrace and area have to spend too much of their income on rent and util-ities, says the executive director of a provincial non-profit housing as-sociation which held a meeting in Terrace on June 18.

“In the past 18 months, in purpose-built rentals – these are not someone renting a room out of their base-ment – rents have gone up 17 per cent in Ter-race,” Tony Roy from the B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association explained.

“And the vacancy rate in Terrace between 2006 and 2013 went from 12.7 per cent to 0.4 per cent.”

Although vacancy rates have improved over last year, Roy said there remains a critical shortage of affordable housing which is de-fined as people paying 30 per cent or less of their income on rent.

The affordable hous-ing situation in Terrace is rated poor overall by the Non-Profit Hous-ing Association who crunches the provincial

numbers each year. The average rent is $722 per month which trans-lates to 22 per cent of the average income of the renter. This is lower than the provincial aver-age of $988 per month totalling 24 per cent of total income, but the av-erage Terrace resident still spends nearly dou-ble the percentage of their income on housing as Kitimat residents do.

It is the high rent prices that are making a dent in people’s income in Terrace, says Roy. “An economic boom is generally a good thing for a community,” he said, “but at the same time we have to make sure that residents get their fair share of the [benefits].”

The statistics are startling for Terrace which sees 44 per cent of its residents spending more than 30 per cent of their income on rent and utilities.

A further 18 per cent of Terrace citizens pay more than 50 per cent of their income to their housing and utilities providers – a situation that is considered criti-cally unaffordable and people may be forego-

ing necessities in order to pay for housing, ac-cording to the Non-Profit Housing Associa-tion.

That means that more than 60 per cent of tenants in Terrace are having trouble making ends meets with their high rent costs.

Roy explained that the problem in Terrace comes down to supply and the low vacancy rate in Terrace.

At least 140 rental-bedrooms are required to meet the demand in Terrace, according to last year’s data on the association’s website. This shortfall ranks Ter-race near the top of low vacancy cities in B.C.

The problems sur-rounding skyrocketing rents and a low supply of housing are also fore-cast to increase over the next 25 years.

“Things are going to get worse before they get better,” Roy project-ed, citing that existing housing livability will deteriorate as rents con-tinue to increase.

“Someone from a lower income bracket may have a place to live [now], but it all of a sudden there is a leak

in the basement and they have to evacuate their home, if there are no vacancies ... the only other option is to live in a homeless shelter,” Roy described of a situ-ation he believes will become more frequent in the Terrace area.

He also indicated that homelessness is overall more taxing on a society than providing affordable housing.

Roy also explained that non-profit groups and policy makers are the ones who can make the most difference in providing affordable housing because the private sector tends to focus on higher end ac-commodations.

“The private sector won’t be the ones who come in and houses people [in need],” Roy said. “Terrace is going to need to find a way to develop affordable housing.”

Housing develop-ments of this nature are unlikely to be supported by higher levels of gov-ernment, noted Roy.

“Before 1995, the federal government had a fund for building af-fordable housing, but over the last 20 years

we have started to ac-cumulate a backlog [of need for affordable housing],” he said.

Approximately 60 people gathered in Ter-race June 18 for the non-profit housing association-sponsored conference.

Those attending included city council members, Terrace may-or Carol Leclerc and Prince Rupert mayor Lee Brain.

Roy said the associa-tion’s directors felt that hosting the conference here would highlight the “acute need” for af-fordable housing in the area.

‘Acute need’ for housing

■ Officially openA FIVE-UNIT addition to the Tuck Ave. seniors housing complex run by the Terrace and District Christian Council for Social Resources was officially opened June 18 with project coordinator John Van De Velde and mayor Carol Leclerc snipping the ribbon.

THE CITY of Terrace can’t force a developer to build a housing com-plex that would rent a portion of its units at be-low-market rates, says mayor Carol Leclerc.

The most the city could do is talk with de-veloper Coast to Coast about its planned 105-unit complex on the cor-ner of Park and Kenney, Leclerc said in response to a question following a speech she made at a June 18 Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

That corner of Park and Kenney, 2.4 acres, was sold by the city to Coast to Coast for $951,000 last year after the developer offered up the best plan for af-fordable housing for the property – renting 20 per cent of any units built at below market value to those who met a specific income level.

“We can have a con-versation with them just to see where things are at with them. I think that [we need to under-stand] what’s happen-

ing in their world be-fore we go and say we want stuff done,” said Leclerc.

Leclerc suggested that the overall housing market might be some-thing that the city would have to speak to the de-velopers about.

She was respond-ing to a question asked by former mayor Dave Pernarowski under whose watch the land deal was made last year.

But two weeks ago Coast to Coast an-nounced it was putting the entire project on hold until market condi-tions improved here.

And last summer, it hinted that it would build 24 units at first, meaning that at least

four of them would be rented out at below market value.

If the city was happy with Coast to Coast’s affordable housing promise, it was also happy with the price it received for the property and set aside $500,000 to stimulate other affordable hous-ing plans.

In responding to a follow up question from Pernarowski about the status of the money, Leclerc said it remains untouched.

Leclerc said council could consider a part-nership with a devel-oper or help affordable housing builders with rezoning or other devel-opment costs.

The other driver, Claire Singleton, was found to be completely liable for the accident.

And it now clears the way for a subsequent suit against Singleton for damages.

“...I find that Ms. Millard is not at fault for the accident. Ms. Singleton is 100 per cent liable,” said Sharma in her decision.

“An agreed statement of facts was entered into evidence...The parties agreed that the accident happened on November 15, 2010, at about 7 p.m. on Highway 16 between Prince George and Van-derhoof, near Telachick Road. At the time of the accident it was dark and snow was falling,” reads the decision.

Millard was travelling east on Hwy16 in her four-door sedan equipped with four winter tires with Celin in the front passenger seat, Rheann in the rear passenger seat and with all wearing lap and shoulder belts. They were driving to BC Chil-dren’s Hospital in Vancouver where Rheann had a long-awaited appointment for her food allergies. Snow began falling near Burns Lake as the trio continued east and road conditions worsened as they left Vanderhoof.

In the meantime, Singleton, in a minivan with only front winter tires, was also on Hwy16, driv-ing west toward Vanderhoof.

The justice’s decision stated that while Millard slowed down to no more than 60 km/h, a recon-struction of the accident determined Singleton did not.

As the vehicles came toward each other, Mil-lard noticed movement in the headlights of an oncoming vehicle on two occasions, just seconds apart. The second incident of headlight move-ment was only seconds before the collision.

Singleton did not testify at the trial but some of her examination for discovery evidence was read into the record. It confirmed she crossed over into Ms. Millard’s lane just prior to impact, said the decision.

An accident reconstruction expert concluded that Millard was driving at a speed of 50km/h and “prior to losing control of the van, Ms. Single-ton was driving in the westbound lane at a speed greater than 90km/h,” the decision continued.

Just seconds after seeing the second instance of headlight movement of the oncoming vehicle, Singleton’s van abruptly came into Millard’s lane.

The van was sliding sideways so that Millard’s car had a head-on collision with the broad side of the van.

“I conclude on a balance of probabilities that the movement of headlights Ms. Millard wit-nessed was not something a reasonable person would view as a hazard,” wrote Sharma.

“As to slowing down...she concluded she was already going slowly enough in response to see-ing the headlight movement. I find her decision reasonable in the circumstances.

Millard said last week that the ruling means her daughters won’t get any money from her in-surance.

“I never took it personally, they were suing my insurance,” said Millard about the case. “Rheann really needs it and Celin too.”

“Part of it is I’m bitter. She’s taken no respon-sibility about any of this,” said Millard about Singleton.

Millard and her daughters will be able to sue Singleton for damages, according to Millard’s lawyer, David Doig.

“That’ll be a separate trial,” he said last week. “The two girls were injured and the mom too, so likely it will be two separate trials.”

The trial date for Millard to seek damages from Singleton is set for March 2016 for two weeks. The daughters will have to file their own separate case.

Millard will be asking for compensation for what she would’ve earned if she hadn’t been in-jured, Doig explained.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI

A6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, June 24, 2015 Terrace Standard

In all my years of writing this column only two elicited more reader re-sponse than last week’s

reporting on my moss killing attempts using an environ-mentally friendly mixture of one gallon of white vinegar, two cups of Epsom salts, and a quarter cup of blue Dawn dishwashing liquid.

I’d be exaggerating if I said the column went viral, but an update does seem to be in order.

In my test plot where I sprinkled the mixture from a garden watering can the moss and dandelions are dead, no sign of resurgence, while purple clover, grass and a feathery leaf identi� ed to me as fennel are expand-ing and cherry seedlings look happy.

In the second test spot where I shook the mixture from a plastic jar with many 1/16 inch holes drilled in the lid, moss is completely dead and unlikely to revive.

A visitor helped get my gallon sprayer working and with it I sprayed more moss and a line of dandelions with its � ne mist. Perhaps too � ne a mist. Wherever the mist touched the dandelions are withering and turning brown.

But half the leaves didn’t receive a deadly dose or maybe any of the mixture necessitating a second appli-cation.

All in all, the vinegar mix-ture de� nitely kills moss and dandelions without harming whatever else grows in my yard.

Being without a mower for several weeks has al-lowed new plants to � ourish, plants that otherwise were cut down before they � ow-ered. In one corner, where I recall seeding a package of wild � owers years ago, I had a widespread crop of small yellow blossoms.

My mower was out three

weeks for tune-up after I tilted it to the wrong side to scrape out a mush of man-gled green underneath that I deduced might be hampering the blades.

I caused oil to soak the air � lter. The poor machine coughed like a senior with emphysema and promptly expired amidst a heavy swath of dandelions, moss, and grasses. A small motor me-chanic replaced the air � lter, and sharpened the blades.

Once back out in the � eld, I faced poplar saplings 30 inches high with stems thick as China markers. A chain saw would have been in or-der.

After I mow everything, I look forward to spraying the main of my yard with Mos-sOut. That I can do by attach-ing the hose to the container which then delivers the Mos-sOut.

I know from experience several years ago such a treatment will knock down moss so that I can, if I choose, push a lawn mower rather than pull it to keep the wheels from burrowing in the moss. But before I spray I have the interim step of rak-ing up all the clipping gobs and wheeling them to the

compost pile. Without � rst raking, the MossOut stands little chance of touching the moss.

With the “lawn” clipped, robins can hop about feed-ing on worms. My Mickey Mantle dog can locate a ball if I pitch it, though he does cough up clippings and spit out mossy bits.

Three weeks of no mow-ing allowed an impressive array of greenery including kinnikinnick and thimbleber-ries to overrun every unoc-cupied area. They formed a thick barrier along the fence too high for my dogs to see beyond; they could hear but not see traf� c approaching.

Nor could they scuf� e with strays through the fence. This barrier also had the ef-fect of keeping out stray mini dogs capable of squeezing through tight spaces.

The one bright side to helplessly watching invasive greenery grow ever higher and more impenetrable was the indisputable excuse it gave me to stay in and read CBC’s daily computer blog of Duffy’s unfolding trial.

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

ONE of the key cornerstones in mov-ing forward from the federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s revelations of the effects of residen-tial schools is improving access to education for aboriginal young peo-ple.

For all of the criticism laid against the federal Conservative government for any number of real or perceived actions, it did prepare legislation of-fering up an additional $1.9 billion to do just that for on-reserve schools.

In this, credit must be given to Shawn Atleo, the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations. From B.C., Mr. Atleo was � rst elected in 2009 and again in 2012. Educational opportunity was – and remains – a passion of Mr. Atleo who found enough common ground to support the proposed legislation.

Yet political in� ghting within the assembly over perceived problems with the legislation soon focused on Mr. Atleo who resigned in May 2014, saying, in part, he wasn’t prepared to be a “lightning rod distracting from the kids and their potential.”

Whether there were actual prob-lems with the legislation or whether the situation was exploited by Mr. Atleo’s opponents is up for debate.

When Mr. Atleo resigned the fed-eral government said the legislation would remain on hold until it had the backing of the assembly.

The federal election this fall pres-ents another opportunity to revisit the issue. And to remember what the goal is about in the � rst place.

Wait until you see the next 25 years

Terrace Standard Wednesday, June 24, 2015 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7

T What were you doing on June 22, 1990? If you were a Member of the Legislative Assem-

bly in Victoria, you were raising your hand in support of a motion to create a northern university. It was a simple act that came after an unprecedented social move-ment in northern British Colum-bia that changed the course of this region forever.

The University of Northern B.C. (UNBC) is 25 years old and our first generation is loaded with stories that describe the success-es of our students, faculty, and alumni.

We have nearly 12,000 gradu-ates and the majority of them are living and working in northern B.C., contributing their skills and creativity to make our communi-ties better.

In fact, the North is retain-ing about three-quarters of the northerners who go to UNBC and nearly 40 per cent of the non-northerners who attend and graduate from UNBC.

And we’re seeing that reten-

tion in the north is increasing over time.

The story of UNBC is per-sonified by the story of the Unger family of Burns Lake. In the late 1980s, Wendell Unger was work-ing in construction and decided to join the campaign for a northern university, paying $5 to join the Interior University Society.

Some 16,000 other northern-ers did as well, and today, all of Wendell’s three children are ben-efitting from UNBC. The two oldest are recent graduates of the Northern Medical Program and the youngest just completed her first year of studies.

UNBC has changed their fam-ily, just as it has for countless oth-er families around Northern B.C. Samantha Unger participated in our 25th anniversary community celebration by unveiling a display of all 16,000 names that has been installed on campus.

Earlier this month we held graduation ceremonies in five northern BC communities, in-cluding Terrace. It’s at convoca-tion where you hear stories that

you might not otherwise.The graduates have a sense of

anticipation at having completed their studies and earning their de-grees. They’re very confident in their future, and that confidence is inspiring for the rest of us.

I recall the story of a Terrace graduate from a couple of years ago, Janis Donald, that really jumps out for me and illustrates how individuals benefit from the

credentials they earn while at UNBC, but entire communities in the north are benefitting as well.

Janis is from the Lower Main-land, Langley, and chose to relo-cate to Terrace to complete her nursing degree.

As she stood on the bank of the Skeena River, waiting to have her grad photo taken, she told us that Terrace “is beautiful. The people have been wonderful up here, and actually I’m staying – that’s how much I loved it.”

This is just one type of com-munity connection that will be pivotal for UNBC’s future suc-cess.

Another will be our connec-tions with First Nations across the North. As the conversation across Canada evolves on First Nations issues, I’m keen to fos-ter that conversation and raise our profile and engagement with First Nations communities.

We’re already an education partner with, for example, Wilp Wilxo’oskwhl Nisga’a, the post secondary institution in the Nass Valley.

As exciting as an anniversary is, we want to ensure that ours is about more than examining the present and recalling the past; it must also be about charting a course for the future.

Our anniversary is serving as a platform to imagine the future of UNBC, based around integrated academic and budget plans that will be rooted in our mission and grounded by sustainability.

The planning process will cer-tainly involve our campus com-munity but it’s natural for UNBC to move beyond our campuses and involve the citizens and com-munities of Northern BC and be-yond.

Take the opportunity to be involved in the future of UNBC, just as 16,000 northerners were actively involved in creating it in the first place.

UNBC is a tremendous re-source for the region, and after 25 years, we’re only getting started.

Dr. Daniel Weeks is the Presi-dent and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Northern British Columbia.

Dear Sir:Who doesn’t love

music? I have such fond memories as a child of playing in the band at Thornhill Junior Sec-ondary. Some of my best memories of school took place in band prac-tice, concerts, and a road trip I went on with

the band to Calgary in Grade 10.

I had the privilege of being taught by Mike Wen whom I’m sure many of you know. He was both passionate, funny and inspiring.

Music plays such an important part in our lives. Often we hear a

song and it stays with us forever, we remem-ber it just like it was yesterday when we hear it again.

It was in my band class where I heard the song Canon in D for the first time. That later be-came my wedding song.

I now have a daugh-

ter in Skeena Junior Secondary in Grade 7 band. She was in Grade 6 band in Thornhill El-ementary last year and there she learned so much there with Daryl McDicken.

What a lot of work it must be teaching chil-dren their first notes!

It would be nice if the elementary schools here would offer Grade 5 band as well (like Prince Rupert does).

Anyone who has children that age should strongly consider writ-ing the school board and make requests.

Music has so much to offer

Dear Sir:The loss of Skip Bergsma on June 10 is felt

deeply by anyone who had the privilege to work, teach or just chat with him.

One of his greatest gifts to our school district was his love of music and strong belief in the value of music education.

Skip believed in having music specialist teach-ers in every elementary school for all students. He was a big reason why I moved to Stewart to teach K-12 music/band, fresh out of the UVic School of Music.

Skip helped guarantee quality music programs by having music classes cover teachers’ prep time. When Skip was assistant superintendent of the school district, we had thriving music and band programs in Stewart, Hazelton, Kitwanga and at every school in Terrace/Thornhill from Kindergar-ten to Grade 12.

He recruited enthusiastic, dedicated music edu-cators from BC, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia. These music teachers came and discovered a jewel in the wilderness; a school dis-trict with a huge appreciation, respect for, and com-mitment to music and the arts.

Skip remembered. Not just your name, but de-tails around your first interview with him, your family, what you were teaching that year. In con-versation with Skip, you felt listened to, respected, valued and wise. He was a true gentleman.

During the lengthy teachers’ strike last year, Skip regularly visited the teachers on the picket line at Skeena Middle School, a short walk from his home.

Busily retired, yet eager to connect, he shared tales of his recent travels abroad, his time on the Terrace teachers’ union executive and past labour disputes.

If you saw what I saw at my daughter’s last con-cert you would not hesitate.

Susan Brouwer is the band teacher at Skeena Middle School. The passion and excitement in her voice all year is enough to make any kid want to pick up an instrument and stick with it. To say she is good at her job would be an understatement. She touches the lives of every child she meets with her outgoing and positive attitude and the children adore her, truly they do.

After our children leave Skeena they will go to Caledonia where they will be met by yet another amazing band teacher, Geoff Parr.

We are also blessed to have Dare to Dream here in Terrace, the charitable organization that provides a band retreat with professional clinicians for all Grade 6 and 7 band students in the area.

I attended this retreat both this year and last year with my child as a volunteer and it was truly amaz-ing to see what they learned at the retreat.

Dare to Dream also helps to pay for costs for in-strument rentals for those who would not otherwise be able to afford to rent an instrument. We should be supporting foundations like this with donations, as our children are our future.

Band is important in schools everywhere. In Ter-race we need to do our part to keep this going and have more hours for our kids to practice band in school, and perhaps have them begin even earlier as they do in other areas here in the north.

I would like to thank Susan Brouwer for being such an amazing teacher and making sure all kids in Skeena have the opportunity to participate.

Danielle Lavoie, Terrace B.C.

Cancel this postal planDear Sir:

It is often said that a government is judged by its ability to make the trains run on time and deliver the mail. Sadly, on both counts, this Conservative government has failed Canadians.

Cuts to rail inspections and rail safety has had tragic and fatal consequences and the draining of Canada Post’s ability to get mail to the doorsteps of the country is hurting our economy, seniors and those living with disabilities.

As home delivery is being cut across the country, Canada will become the only developed country in the world not to have this service. The Conserva-tives have cried poverty yet Canada Post has turned a profit 19 out of the last 20 years, returning almost a billion dollars back to Canadians. Just last year, in which they did deliver the mail, they made almost $200 million dollars for taxpayers.

In fact, the only year in the last two decades that Canada Post lost the money was 2011 when man-agement (with the backing of Mr. Harper) locked out the workers then forced them back to work. A drop-off in letter mail has been more than made up by a surge in packages from Canadians shopping and doing business online.

This past week, residents of Terrace found out their home mail delivery service is next on Mr. Harper’s chopping block. Almost 5,400 households in the area are scheduled to lose door-to-door de-

livery in 2016. Hundreds of municipalities have been speaking

out about the devastating impacts this will have on citizens in their communities. All of them want Mr. Harper’s plan for Canada Post to be stopped.

You can’t save a business by reducing services, raising costs, and chasing away customers, but that is exactly what Mr. Harper is trying to do with Can-ada Post.

And it is families and small businesses who will bear the true cost of less service, and in particular seniors and people living with disabilities who get hurt most by shutting down door-to-door delivery.

I believe that we should be looking for best practices and examples in other countries who have successfully maintained their home delivery. There are many ways that Canada Post could innovate, become more dynamic, and even increase its reve-nues, all while maintaining the proud service it has offered to Canadians since day one.

I am proud that the NDP has promised to reverse Mr. Harper’s plan for Canada Post if we are elected to government in the fall election – and I am hope-ful we can do so before Terracites are forced to lose their home mail delivery.

Nathan Cullen,Member of Parliament,

Skeena – Bulkley Valley,Ottawa, Ontario

He commiserated with new teachers and heard their stories. He gave us hope and encouragement.

Skip touched the souls of thousands of students through his integrity and dedication to teachers, education, and the value of music in our daily lives.

Thank you, Skip. We will continue to learn, sing, play, and listen.

We’ll always remember you. Susan Brouwer,

Terrace, B.C.

Lookout improvedA CREW is at work this month putting in a picnic table and two benches at the top of Skeenaview Hill on the edge of the McConnell Estates /Skeenaview Lodge housing com-plex.

The seating will be accompanied by an as-phalt sidewalk from McConnell Estates to the location, making it easier for its senior citizen residents and those from Terraceview to enjoy the view of the city and area, says city leisure services director Carmen Didier.

“The idea came one day when I noticed family members try-ing to maneuver their loved one, who was in

a wheelchair, out to the lookout,” said Didier.

“The family had to lift the wheelchair to reach the lookout and it just seemed like at some point in the future we should do something to make that accessible for folks living in Terracev-iew and McConnell Es-tates.”

Didier then became aware of a federal pro-gram for senior citizens and successfully ap-plied for a $21,125 to cover most if not all of the work.

Axis Mountain Tech-nical has been awarded the contract by the city to do the work.

Previously, one bench had been located at the lookout area.

The 75-metre long sidewalk connecting the McConnell Estates gateway to the new lookout seating will be made of asphalt.

The picnic table is such that it will be easi-er for seniors and others to use, said Didier.

Also to be installed at the lookout location is a story board high-lighting the history of the area.

Didier said she re-ceived the support of Kermode Tourism, Mc-Connell Estates/Ter-raceview Lodge, the Heritage Park Museum and community histo-rian Yvonne Moen in applying for and then receiving the federal grant.

MEMBERS OF the public helped an RCMP officer deal with a 31-year-old intoxicated woman last week.

She was located at McDon-ald’s, yelling and swearing at people, after police responded to a call of a woman refusing to leave the provincial liquor store.

The woman fled and when caught, attempted to fight the of-ficer.

“The police officer was able to gain control of the person with assistance from members of the public,” said a police report.

“Investigation determined that the woman had opened the door of a vehicle that was in the [McDonald’s] drive-thru lineup and demanded money. A man approached and told her to leave the person alone. The woman kicked and punched the man. Charges are being forwarded to Crown Counsel.”

THE SUNDAY Market held weekly at the Skeena Landing might seem like an extension of the popular Farm-ers Market, but it’s not.

The Sunday Market does provide an alternative venue for sellers to market their homemade goods, but the fees paid by the vendors go to the charitable organization that organizes the event.

The Sunday Market, although only in its second year, already hosts around 14 regular vendors provid-ing baked goods, homemade jam and honey, and handmade jewelry and other crafts as well as live music.

The latest charity to take over the event in Kimmunity Angels – a char-ity formed in 2014 to provide funds to people in Terrace who are dealing with serious illness. Founder Donna Slavic explains that the name and the charity were formed to honour a friend, Kim, who lost her battle with terminal cancer.

The Kimmunity Angels Society took over the Sunday Market at the beginning of June and currently have 10 volunteers to help organize the vendors and set up signage for the event. The $10 fee paid by the ven-dors goes towards the Kimmunity Angels fund.

Slavic is hoping to attract even more people and vendors to the mar-ket.

“We want it to be a big event, a place where families can go on a Sun-day afternoon to hang out and enjoy themselves. We are hoping to get the word out there to get more foot traffic [and] a variety of [vendors],” Slavic explained.

Slavic said that she is really look-ing to make it a family friendly event and is scoping out potential support-ers in the community to provide fun kids activities at the event.

Last year, Crime Stoppers orga-nized the Sunday market, but they passed it over to the Terrace Hospice Society this year after they could not find enough volunteers to staff the event.

The market in May was then orga-nized by the hospice society, but again a shortage of volunteers prompted them to pass on the project.

Diana Wood of the Terrace Hos-pice Society said that “things were just starting to pick up, people were starting to get to know that [the mar-ket] was there every Sunday” when they passed the project over to Kim-munity Angels.

“A lot of people wanted to carry on with what they were doing at the Farmers Market and [many people] also wanted to do something on a Sunday,” she explained of the early organization of the market this year. The Sunday Market is held 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Sunday at Skeena Land-ing between Terrace and Thornhill.

■ Uniform historyALAINA HOFFMAN, Chelsey Lukasser and Raelyn Wright tried out some of the past uniforms of the guiding movement during a June 12-14 weekend camp-out. The theme was heritage and the weekend marked the end of the local guiding season. Campers also had the opportunity to make bread, jam and candles. In the weeks previous, local guides traveled to Smithers to camp with guides from around the region and attended a Prince George sci-ence fair held at the University of Northern BC campus there.

Veteran dentist retires

STAFF PHOTO

JUNE 12 was Dr. Joe Zucchiatti’s last day of dentistry practice in Ter-race before retiring. He’s shown here with certified dental assistant Robin Muller, left, and office manager Kitty Newton, right.

DENTIST DR. Joe Zucchiatti remembers the patients he saw on his first day of practice here July 1, 1972.

“I had a toothache from Bella Bella, one from Whitehorse, one from the Charlottes and one from Burns Lake. I thought ‘Man, what have I gotten myself into.’”

And now he can re-member the last patient he saw on his last day of practice at just before noon June 12 – a crown and bridge reconstruc-tion.

“Much has changed,” commented Zucchi-atti looking over his 43 years spent practising dentistry in Terrace. “There’s less emphasis now on extraction.”

From Fort Frances in northwestern On-tario, Zucchiatti trained in that province before coming west right out of dentistry school. He had a collection of mostly tourist pamphlets from the region and had Kiti-mat, Terrace and Prince Rupert on his list of places to visit.

He decided on Ter-race for several reasons, the first being that the dentistry practice of Dr. Ken McPherson was up

for sale and the second being spotting a moose in the Skeena River just west of Terrace.

“I was born in the bush so this was the place for me. A place where I could go hunt-ing and fishing,” Zuc-chiatti recalled.

Adding up his 43 years here and nearly 25 years for McPher-son, Zucchiatti says their combined years have made for the old-

est dentistry practice in the northwest.

During his years in Terrace, Zucchiatti was also an enthusias-tic supporter of the arts through the Terrace Lit-tle Theatre, education through French immer-sion and a number of sports, including gym-nastics, water polo and

karate. Zucchiatti has sold

his practice to another local dentist, Dr. Vince Drouin, and he and wife Brenda will make the Lower Mainland com-munity of Ladner their new home. “It’s right close to the [Fraser] riv-er and the boat launch,” he said of the location.

Tree bags conserve water

ANNA KILLEN PHOTO

CHANTALE MAHEUX and Eric Lennert can be found in Terrace sprucing up the city greenery.

By ANNA KILLEN

FOR TERRACE’S new head gardener, this season’s tree wa-tering schedule is in the bag.

Seriously. About 30 big, green, rubber bags are now co-cooning the bases of the younger trees lining the Grand Truck Pathway, aka the Millennium Trail, thanks to a suggestion from the Terrace Beautification Society and the manpower of the city’s head gardener Eric Lennert and his co-worker Chantale Ma-heux.

“When trees don’t get water, they’re not healthy and they’re really susceptible to infesta-tions,” he said, noting that some trees, especially those at the west end of the popular trail, were pretty dry.

The new system will not only keep the trees hydrated in the midst of what has so far been a dry spring but it will save water and watering time in the long run, and keep the young trees protected.

It works like this: the 55-li-tre bags are wrapped around the base of the tree. Once every sev-eral days, they are filled with wa-ter and, because of the tiny holes along the bottom, it takes about nine hours for the water to slowly seep deep into the ground, draw-ing the roots with it – kind of like a sponge that’s concentrating wa-ter in one direction.

That’s important because the goal is to get the roots of the tree to grow down into the soil and not just stay spread out along the surface.

Soil, of course, dries from the surface down, “so if you can get the roots down and established in the lower horizons of the soil

then you’ll be able to take the bag out and you shouldn’t have to water the tree excessively for the rest of its life,” said Lennert.

Lennert said that he’d noticed the trees irrigation system need-ed help, so he approached the Terrace Beautification Society.

One of its members told him about the bags and he did a bit of online research to find out that they’re used in many municipali-ties.

In Thunder Bay, for example, they line many of the boulevards and residents take it upon them-selves to fill them up.

Terrace’s gardeners have also pulled the grass back from around the trees – grass is a big water stealer – and have been laying down bark mulch. Those modifications plus the bags should protect the trees from me-chanical damage – another issue

as lawnmowers and weed-whip-pers were grazing the bottoms of the trees.

“It’s kind of a combo of get-ting water to the trees and stop-ping mechanical damage,” said Lennert of his approach.

Lennert has been focused on improving the efficiency of Ter-race’s irrigation system since he began the job in March. He’s monitored the sprinkler systems and beds to figure out where the weak or wasteful spots are and begun using soaker hoses in many of the beds.

“It’s the most efficient way to water anything – you’re not spraying water into the atmo-sphere where it can just evapo-rate, it’s not going into the street or the sidewalks, it’s applied di-rectly to where you need it,” he said. “I’m kind of a stickler for not wasting water.”

A MAN caught with prohibited weapons when he was on court con-ditions to not have any weapons will spend the next 10 years on a firearms prohibition.

Nathan James Mitchell Rinsma was handed a suspended sentence and one year of probation with conditions for two charges of possess prohibited/restricted firearm with ammunition along with the firearms prohibition from an incident on October 23, 2014.

He was also ordered to pay a $100 victim fine surcharge.

A suspended sentence means if he follows the conditions of his pro-bation he won't be brought back to court to be sentenced. On the October 24, 2014 daily police report, Terrace RCMP reported that officers assisted a conservation officer with a grey

2014 Ford F150 pulled over on the Sleeping Beauty Forest Service Road.

Numerous firearms of restricted, unrestricted, and prohibited nature were seized along with ammunition, said police.

The man who claimed ownership of some of the guns did not have the required firearms licence and was on probation with a condition to not pos-sess weapons, said police.

Police arrested a 19-year-old man, who was held for court. The 21-year-old driver of the truck was prohibited from driving and the vehicle he was driving was impounded, said police, adding that charges were being for-warded to crown. An amount of drugs was seized from the truck, said police.

A charge of breach of probation order was stayed by the court.

More teen luring attempts reportedTHREE INCIDENTS of an adult attempting to lure a teenage girl into a vehicle in one week have police re-minding the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious vehicles.

And similarities in the description of the suspect and vehicle don’t necessarily mean it’s the same person nor does the short space of time between all three incidents mean that it’s happening more now than previously.

“I can’t confirm that at all. Lots of different vehicle descriptions have been provided and they are all different to some extent,” said Ter-race RCMP community policing media relations officer Const. Angela Rabut.

In the daily Terrace RCMP release June 15, police reported that On June 13 at approxi-mately 10 p.m., a man described as Caucasian, in his 40’s, heavier set, and brown hair driving a newer model dark blue truck asked a 14-year-old girl walking alone on the new bridge if she wanted a ride home. The girl refused.

And on June 7th, a man described as Cau-casian, bald, in his mid 30’s and driving a dark green Ford Van ap-proached a 15-year-old girl walking alone on the 4600 block of Haug-land Ave. and asked her if she wanted to go and party or grab something to eat. The girl refused.

On June 12, Terrace RCMP reported that on June 9 at approximately 8 p.m. a 14-year-old girl was walking through the Tim Hortons park-ing lot on Keith Ave. when a man in a blue van made contact with the girl.

She ignored him. He then asked her if she wanted to make some

money. The girl contin-ued to ignore the man and approached a wom-an driver in another car and asked for some as-sistance. The man drove off.

The vehicle was de-

scribed as a navy blue minivan, very shiny and newer with a roof rack and items on the roof rack. An item on the roof rack may have been red.

The front passenger

seat may have a red rope attached to the headrest.

There was no report of the licence plates on the vehicle.

The man is described as Caucasian, 25 to 35 years of age with au-

burn wavy hair, two or three inches in length. He has a well-groomed beard.

“To say it’s happen-ing more often is not necessarily the case,” said Rabut, adding that

when people are made aware of something happening in the com-munity, they report things more often.

If something or someone seems suspi-cious, try to get as much

information as possible, because the more infor-mation police have, the more they have to work with, she added.

Police continue to investigate all three in-cidents.

Dogs OKA DAILY log of Ter-race RCMP calls last week reported that six dogs were observed in a parked car at Walmart.

“Police observed six dogs playing in a vehicle under no dis-tress with the windows adequately opened for ventilation,” the report stated.

With summer here, pets should not be kept in vehicles with the windows rolled up.

Boost Your Business: Go Beyond BordersExploring new markets is a smart growth

strategy for business. As a small business owner, you might think that exporting is only for big businesses, or differences in language and culture might deter you from exploring new areas. Though the US receives the bulk of Canadian exports, emerging markets in Asia offer immense business growth opportunities.

Diversifying your market will boost your business strength. Here are four reasons to get into the international market:

Pro� ts: Exporting improves your bottom line. New markets mean more sales and, with a larger market base, your pro� ts can grow very quickly. According to government data, during the economic downturn of 2012 Canada’s exports of goods and services expanded, thereby cushioning many local businesses against the widespread impact of eco-nomic downturn.

Risk Management: We all know the cliché, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” As in life, it applies equally well to your business. Diversifying into different markets can help you mitigate risk. Different countries have different growth rates and being a part of these growth stories makes sense. Being con-� ned to your domestic market opens your business to domestic risks.

Competitiveness: The global market-place is very competitive, and competi-tion breeds innovation. By improving

your business processes and innovating, you not only succeed in the overseas market, but also enhance the value of your business in the domestic market. You need to understand that every market has different demands and that those demands change every few years so it is important to continuously reinvent your business/product/service. Always be market and product focused.

Product Life-cycle: Even if your product loses its novelty in the domestic market, you can still � nd a market abroad where this product can be regarded as new. If you have manufacturing processes in place to create your products, it helps to tap into overseas market to maximize your manufacturing capacity.

Exporting is not tough! You just have to prepare well in terms of research, costs, time and commitment to be successful internationally.

What is diversity and why is it good for business?Diversity is about embracing differences.

These differences can be found in people’s abilities, age, culture, ethnicity, gender, physical characteristics, religion, sexual orientation, or values. But diver-sity is more than a human rights or an inclusion issue - it’s a pro� table business strategy.

A business that adopts diversity as a strat-egy is able to re� ect its marketplace, leverage talent, build a robust supply chain and enhance its decision-making and governance. Bottom line: a diverse business performs better � nancially.

There are several reasons why a diverse strategy gives businesses a competi-tive edge. A new report by Catalyst.org suggests businesses with diverse boards are more socially responsible, which results in “sustainable big wins for the company and its stakeholders.”

Diverse companies perform higher with regards to their community impact, environmental

responsibility and customer relationships. These measures are essential to small businesses looking for a sustainable link

to their community.

“Today’s customers want to do business with organizations that share their values,” says Laurel Douglas, CEO of Women’s Enterprise Centre. “We’ve seen an increase in businesses and educational institutions coming to us for workshops on how to introduce diversity into their organization.”

The business case for diversity is well documented. Since 2004, Catalyst has produced studies showing that com-panies that achieve diversity in their management and board attain better � nancial results than those who don’t.

But diversity need not be reserved for the CEO or board level; companies can also employ diversity as a business strategy at the customer/client level, with em-ployers, and with suppliers.

While any strategic shift should align with a business’ overarching plan, there are several ways businesses of any size can make simple changes:

Angela’s Hearing Solutions is a new business that opened in March of 2014. We are a local, family owned and operated company. Although it is a new business, I have worked in the hearing health care � eld for the past 11 years, � rst alongside the Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists (ENT) Dr. deJager and Dr. Vanlierde. After my tenure in the ENT of� ce I trained for a career in the hearing industry and worked for a hearing company as the primary hearing consultant, and Registered Hearing Instrument Practitioner. In January of 2014 I resigned from that role to start my own dream! We are in our second year of providing the best hearing care possible and solutions that work for each person on an individual basis. Our main of� ce operates in Terrace with satellite clinics that run on Fridays at Delta King in Kitimat, and a clinic at the Prince Rupert Hospital 2 times per month.

Our vision is to be known as the best provider of hearing products and services for ages 16 and over.

What is diversity and why is it good for business?1. Diversify your staff. A workplace of

employees with different education and experience fosters innovation and increases buy-in, reducing employee turnover.

2. Rethink your marketing. Re� ecting the diversity of the marketplace enhances your business’ reputation and rapport with your customers, and helps you build a strong connection with your community.

3. Find a new supplier with a new product to cater to a diverse customer or client base. This can broaden your customer base, lead to lower costs and encour-age more responsive suppliers.

4. Assign a percentage of your busi-ness purchases to diverse suppliers. Organizations that have made supplier diversity part of their corporate social responsibility practices include Telus, Merck and RBC.

5. Register as a diverse supplier to make more connections. For businesses owned by women, minorities, ab-

originals, or LGBT, registering can open doors for new contracts. Learn more at supplierdiversitycanada.ca

6. Assemble a diverse board of direc-tors, mentors and advisors. A group comprised of people who bring unique competencies, skills and perspectives to the table is more effective in its deci-sion- making.

For a business looking to kick-start change or growth with little outlay, diversity strategies may be the key.

The Timberwolves, comprised of Grade 10 and 11 athletes from Terrace, Smithers, Prince Rupert, Hazelton and Port Simp-son, finished their season with an 11 point loss to the Vancouver Panthers in the Championship game of the Basketball BC Club Provincial Championships two weekends ago at the Langley Events Centre. The Timberwolves finished their spring with an impressive overall record of seven wins and two losses.

The Timberwolves ad-vanced to the finals with a thrilling one point overtime victory over the North Van-couver Running Rebels. Caledonia’s Ryan Kunar made the game winning free throw with under a minute to play in the extra frame, and stifling team defence thwarted numerous oppor-tunities for the Running

Rebels to take the lead.Despite keeping the

championship game close,

the Timberwolves were un-able to fend off a potent Panther’s shooting game

that saw them hit five three-pointers in the second half to pull away with the victo-

ry. The game was highlight-ed by two Thunderous Slam Dunks by Timberwolves players Gabriel Johnson from Cal and Trent Monk-man from Smithers, who cut to the basket and threw down a thunderous dunk over a Panther defender.

“For a northern team to come together with lim-ited practice time, and compete at the level that we competed in the Lower Mainland is a tremendous accomplishment. We have some tremendous talent in the Northwest. Every player bought into our team first philosophy and this translat-ed to success on the court. I think it was a tremendous confidence builder for our athletes, as they now know that they can compete with some of the best in the prov-ince, and this experience can only help them as they move forward in their high school careers,” said coach Matt Lowndes about his team’s performance.

The BC Lakes Stewardship So-ciety is non-profit organization concerned about the well-being of lakes in our province. To this

end, it assists its member groups to con-duct scientific water quality monitoring of the lakes they represent. The BCLSS also collects Ice On and Ice Off information. This enables volunteers to gather scien-tifically significant data that contributes to a data pool that helps develop policy and ultimately contributes to the protection of inland waters in BC.

Educating the community by participat-ing in community events, attending school events, giving presentations, and hosting conferences about lake issues are impor-tant objectives of the BCLSS. The Society is also involved in many hands-on proj-ects, like shoreline restoration on lakes, throughout the province.

The BCLSS held its 17th Annual Con-ference last September in Terrace, the co-host being the Lakelse Watersheds Stew-ards Society. I missed the Friday night wine and cheese at the Lake, due to anoth-er commitment but paid $50 to attend the Saturday session on behalf of the Northern Branch of the Steelhead Society, with the guarantee that I would recoup the fee when I reported back to them, which, I suppose, I am doing now.

A trio of brilliant fall days at a time when this country is full of fish was the perfect time for such a conference. The Waap Galts’ap Longhouse at the North-west Community College was a good choice of venue made better thanks to the

hard work of Rob Dams and Mitch Drewes who rounded up a couple of Chinook Salmon, a pair of coho, a sockeye and steelhead, and mounted an impressive display by putting the salmon in large display tanks un-der the walkway outside the longhouse.

“Retaining Lake In-tegrity with Economic Prosperity - the Great Challenge” was the theme of the conference.

Don Roberts of the Kitsumkalum was sup-posed to welcome the conference attendees to Tsimshian Terri-tory, but for some reason he didn’t make it. Perhaps Don felt the performance by the Kitselas Dancers the night before was suf-ficient welcome. I am sure the gathering felt it was.

Next, Kristi Carter of the BCLSS wel-comed us, and gave a concise explanation of the workings of the Society and told of some future projects. When Ms. Carter was done, Lana Miller, one of the few re-maining survivors in the habitat division of Fisheries and Oceans Canada after the pogrom conducted by Stephan Harper and his nasty, short-sighted minions that en-compassed gutting the Fisheries Act and closing science libraries in what amounts to virtual book burning, gave an overview of the Lakelse Sockeye Recovery Program

that she has been over-seeing for a decade now.

My acquaintance with Lakelse Sockeye goes back almost 4 de-cades to a time when those shiny salmon used to stream into the river in June and July in what seemed to be large numbers. I would go trout fishing at Her-man’s Point and the pools would be packed with them, a phenom-enon I haven’t seen for many years. The tone of Lana’s presentation was cautiously optimis-

tic and made me realize that we could use fisheries professionals of her calibre in just about every watershed in this province, and would if we stopped electing govern-ments that pay lip service to the environ-ment while draining the lifeblood out of the people and institutions charged with its maintenance in order to pave the way for big businesses that seek to run roughshod over it in their quest for profit.

Following Lana came Bart Freitas of Golder and Associates with a talk de-scribing some ways of preventing Lake-shore erosion. It was mildly interesting, but didn’t have any direct relevance to the theme of the conference.

James Casey of the World WIldlife Fed-eration, gave a talk fortified, as all talks are nowadays, by a power point presentation.

Casey gave a short history of environmen-tal conflict in the Skeena drainage, touched on the importance of the estuary, and dis-cussed the various ways a concerned pub-lic might become usefully involved in the protection of our waterways.

Jim Schinkewski of the Pacific Salmon Foundation gave a presentation on where the funding for salmon stewardship comes from and how it may be obtained, but by far the most important and troubling talk of the day was delivered by Dr. Daniel Selbie of the DFO. A distinguished limnologist, who has done much work on declining wa-ter quality in Cultus Lake recently, spoke about the effects of water quality on food webs and the ecological relationships in lakes. Dr. Selbie’s presentation highlighted the extraordinary complexities of these ecosystems, and underscored how little we actually know and how much we need to learn about acid rain. Given the tonnage of acid-generating pollution discharged by Rio Tinto Alcan annually, this fact takes on tremendous significance for the health of the drainage and the region.

Following Dr. Selbie, Warren McCor-mick from the department in the Minis-try of the Environment that deals with air quality gave a nimble performance of how to duck questions while appearing to an-swer them.

Can the integrity of the Lakelse Water-shed be maintained along with economic prosperity? After a day of presentations, the answer to the thematic question posed by the conference, is yes – as long as that economic prosperity is borne of tourism.

THE TERRACE Bluebacks swam their last official laps of the season recently, ending the year with one final meet and a year-end barbecue.

Central to this year was the deepening of the relationship between the Bluebacks and the Kitimat Marlins, with the two neighbouring teams shar-ing pools for most of the year.

When renovations ran long at Terrace’s aquatic centre in September the Bluebacks trained in Kitimat, and when Kitimat’s municipal strike closed the Kitimat pool for over three months, the Blue-backs returned the favour.

To that end, the year-end meet scheduled for Kitimat took place in Terrace earlier this month – and the Blue-backs placed second overall with 500 points, beating the Marlins by only two points and the Bulkley Valley Ot-ters by 25. Every Blueback in the meet earned at least four points, so it took an en-tire team effort to achieve our highest result of the season, said coach Mike Christensen.

For the Bluebacks, Renzo Zanardo earned gold, Jake Kluss earned silver, and Anke de Wit earned bronze.

Meanwhile, coaches hand-

ed out end-of-year awards at a barbeque last week.

Mackenzie Bannister, who had a banner year, was named Blueback athlete of the year and competitor of the year. Rookie of the year went to Chloe Meek, and Au-brey Gingles was named most improved athlete. Erin Bill-son received the inspiration award.

Additional awards were also presented for top at-tendance, fastest in the 5km swim-a-thon, swimmer of the month awards for May/June, and the team’s annual Skit-tles awards where one skittle

is awarded for every second taken off of best times during the year. (Top - Aubrey Gin-gles with 279 seconds = 279 Skittles.)

Commenting on next season, coach Lowndes has already circled December 5 on the calendar, as his Smithers Gryphons will be traveling to Terrace to take on coach MacKay’s Caledonia Kermodes in the season opener. “It is going to be weird to start the Northwest High school season next year, as all of these players have bonded in a short period of time, and have had experiences that will hopefully stay with them for a lifetime.

“One goal of our program was to give everyone a new perspective of the different programs in the Northwest as usually we are competing against each other. It was nice to put on the same uni-form and work together. I think it is important to remember that as an isolated basketball region in this province, all of our programs need to work to-gether to grow and build up the game within all of our communities. The stronger each program is, the better it is for all student athletes in this region. We want all of the Northwest programs to be success-ful. When we aren’t competing with each other, we cheer for each other.”

The Canadian Red Cross thanks the Terrace community group for sponsoring the

Nepal earthquake relief dinner May 23.

The dinner raised $8,201 which, when matched by the federal government, turned into

an astonishing $16,402.

The generosity of the group and of Terrace citizens has been critical in ensuring we can be there for

those who are most vulnerable and for that, we can't thank you enough.

THANK YOU

THE INCREASING amount of rail traffic to and from port facili-ties at Prince Rupert has prompted the provincial transportation ministry to make safer a level crossing approximately 50km west of Terrace on Hwy16.

The road approach to and over the crossing is now in the form of a curving ‘S’ shape with rumble strips, a lower speed limit and warning signs.

But rail traffic go-ing over the crossing does hold up vehicles and “the ultimate goal is a physical separation of highway and rail to improve safety,” reports the provincial trans-portation ministry. The ministry also says the road approaches might be improved to reduce the current ‘S’ turn.

A drill rig has been working on both sides of the rail crossing last month, taking core samples for whatever construction may be planned.

“This work is in the early stages and no de-sign or other planning work has been com-pleted,” says the minis-try. “More information about the proposal will be made available when these details are final-ized.”

And while it does say an overpass or other work at the location is a priority there is no time-line for construction.

Overpass is possibleat Hwy16 rail crossing

MARK LINK PHOTO

A DRILL rig takes core samples at a level CN rail crossing on Hwy 16 West of Terrace in May. One of the options under consideration is an overpass over the tracks.

A SPIKE in human-caused wildfires in the Skeena region, including one on Terrace Mountain, has left local fire officials frustrated. Six fires in the Ter-race, Kitimat, and Nass Valley area were started by people over a span of a week and a half in early June.

The problem started with a small fire on the west side of Kalum Lake on June 6 that burned no more than a quarter of a hectare thanks to the quick re-sponse of firefighting attack crews.

Another fire was discovered along Hirsch Creek near Hwy 37 between Terrace and Kitimat on June 7. Two small wildfires were sparked on June 10, one was nine kilometres northwest of Terrace and the other was near the Rio Tinto Alcan facility in Kitimat.

Two more fires, each 0.15 hectares in size were started on June 14 and 15. The first was alarming-ly close to home just on Terrace mountain and, as of last week, was still being monitored for smoke and heat by fire crews. The latest fire was on Iron Mountain north of Kitimat. All fires except for the Terrace Mountain fire are out and they are all con-sidered to be human caused, even though the Rio Tinto Alcan fire is still under investigation.

Human-causedfires a problem

Young shoplifters arrestedEMPLOYEES at two stores here were busy last week dealing with criminal activity.

At Safeway, a loss prevention officer ar-rested two girls, ages 13 and 12, for shoplift-ing.

Police also arrested

the girls and they were turned over to their guardians, report Ter-race RCMP.

Meanwhile, at Walmart, a loss pre-vention officer arrested a woman for fraud.

Terrace RCMP re-port she attempted to

return items that were not purchased in or-der to obtain cash gift cards.

Police then arrested the woman, 25, and are forwarding charge information to provin-cial Crown Counsel lawyers.

Terrace Fire� ghtersAnnual BreakfastThis event will be held on July 1st at the:

Terrace Fire Hall on Eby St.8:00am to NOON (or ‘til we run out!)Cost: $5.00/personThe firefighters themselves will be cooking up a breakfast feast of pancakes, bacon, sausage and eggs. All money raised goes to the BC Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund. All food and supplies are donated by local businesses - so 100% of the money raised goes to the fund! This is the 18th year for this event. The Burn Fund is dedicated to burn prevention, survivor support and recovery programs in BC. The organization is committed to providing financial assistance for the purchase of equipment, training of medical staff, and the operation of a Children’s Burn Survivor Camp. This fundraiser started when a local family required assistance, it proved to be such a great success that we’ve made it an annual event.
