HOUSING AND rental prices came up as the top negative about living here in an informal survey done by Skeena Diversity Society at the recent Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce Business Expo.

Out of the 94 people who re-sponded, 66, which is 70 per cent, shared mostly negative comments with lack of housing as the major impact of current changes here.

The survey, “Impacts of Chang-

es in Terrace and the Northwest,” was done to get a sense of the im-pact on housing due to the improv-ing economy here.

“Most of the answers confirmed what we were hearing from others but we did hear more examples of what was going on – personal sto-ries of people struggling to find housing, being at the mercy of landlords, but we also came across landlords who have not raised their rents in any significant ways,” said Sasa Loggin of the Skeena Diver-sity Society.

It included only three questions with room to add in comments: “How have you been impacted by the recent changes?” “Are the changes mostly positive or nega-tive?” and “Any suggestions what could be done?”

Housing comments included rapidly growing costs, “renovic-tions,” low income families having to leave to avoid homelessness, un-affordability and increased stress as people take in family or friends, hard to find housing for younger people and higher property taxes.

“As landlords can’t legally evict tenants just because they want to raise rents, they come up with ren-ovations as an excuse. In some cas-es, the renovations are quite minor and one can see that the real reason was changing tenants and increas-ing rents. Hence the term ‘renovic-tion,’” said Loggin.

One comment emphasized in-creased costs: “This town has gone crazy – too much greed. Rents and price of housing is way too much. It’s way too expensive for low in-come and single families living on

one income. We are being evicted and can’t afford to buy a house.”

More traffic and the difficulty of getting around at the begin-ning and end of lunch hour or after work, more truck traffic and the challenge of parking were noted as second highest negative responses with 29 per cent.

Of the 20 people who shared mostly positive experiences, more jobs, work and training opportuni-ties were at the top of the list.

Housing, rents top residents’ worry list

Aid comingfor regionBy JOSH MASSEY

SKEENA NDP MLA Robin Austin hopes an announcement from the provincial government to be made here Friday finally demonstrates its paying attention to municipalities straining un-der the weight of expanding de-mands from the growing north-western industrial boom.

Austin, who has tangled re-cently in the legislature with natural gas and housing minis-ter Rich Coleman over housing pressures as people and compa-nies move in anticipation of the development of a liquefied natu-ral gas industry in the region, says the province is behind in responding.

The announcement, to be made by community, sport and cultural minister Coralee Oakes at Terrace city hall, is expected to confirm the province is sending up interns to help municipalities and to provide details on how $150,000 in planning money is to be spent.

“Northern communities are having real trouble, and com-panies are having real trouble, processing a bunch of initiatives and they are allocating a number of interns to Terrace and Prince Rupert and Kitimat to help deal

with the backlog on the work,” Austin said.

“This announcement recog-nizes that the cuts to staffing levels in all areas of government have been so brutal over the last 10 years that there are not enough full-time civil servants to do the work.”

Austin says the announce-ment responds to problems he has been hearing from his con-stituents for some time.

“It’s good that all the commu-nities are being supported, be-cause I have heard a lot of com-plaints from communities and from companies that they don’t have the capacity.

“They are completely strapped and overwrought with the amount of work that’s com-ing in and they were looking to government to say, ‘look part of what we need—yes its housing, yes it’s infrastructure, but it’s also simply bodies to actually administer this work.’”

According to Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski, the plan will also address the allocation of money promised by Premier Christy Clark last September to local governments in the north-west.

ROOK, THE area’s RCMP police service dog, pictured here during a February training exercise with handler Cpl. Jarrod Trickett at the airport, passed away May 6.

By MARGARET SPEIRS

TERRACE RCMP is looking into getting another police dog after Rook, the region’s RCMP police service dog, passed away May 6.

The nine-year-old German shepherd was with handler Corporal Jarrod Trickett on a training ex-ercise north of Terrace when he went into distress after coming out from a body of water.

“It is with a heavy heart that I advise Police Dog Rook passed away yesterday of natural causes dur-ing a training exercise. He was nine-years-old,” said Terrace RCMP media relations community policing officer Const. Angela Rabut May 7.

“Rook was a hardworking, dedicated, member of the RCMP, serving the people of British Colum-bia well.

“The Terrace RCMP have begun the process of acquiring another police dog. In the interim, our area is being covered by the Prince George police dog.”

The dog was rushed to a local vet, Dr. David

Farkvam.As the region’s only RCMP police service dog,

Rook, along with Trickett, covered the northwest from the Yukon border and Atlin down to Bella Bel-la and Bella Coola, out to just west of Burns Lake and east to Haida Gwaii.

Rook’s job was to go out with Trickett to look for fleeing suspects, missing people, evidence or to a recent crime with tracks left behind.

Lately, Rook had been helping train Eddie, a 14-month-old pup, with her handler, Const. Trevor Mack.

In an interview earlier this year, Trickett said Rook would continue to do his job as long as he could do it and wasn’t in any pain, like an athlete.

He planned to retire Rook when his service days ended and to then keep him as a pet. Last year, Rook and another dog were the oldest in the RCMP.

Rook had been born and bred at the RCMP breeding facility in Innisfail, Alberta, which is where about 80 per cent of dogs in the field come from.

RCMP service dog dies

A PRELIMINARY hearing has been set for the man accused of killing teenager CJ Fowler in Ka-mloops in 2012.

Originally from the Hazeltons, Fowler, 16, who had been living in Terrace, was in Kamloops visiting friends with Damien Taylor, the man accused in her death.

Taylor is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Fowler whose body was found in Guerin Creek near downtown Ka-mloops on Dec. 5, 2012.

His preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 days, beginning on Sept. 22.

Police have said Fowler and Taylor had been involved in a dat-ing relationship at the time of her death.

Police believe Fowler was plan-

ning to return to Terrace prior to her death.

Taylor, 22, was arrested after an RCMP investigation that lasted more than a year.

On Jan. 10, 2014 Mounties took him into custody in Kelowna, where he had been living.

TEN KITWANGA area residents are in Terrace next week continu-ing their training to provide them with licences and certifications needed to operate large vehicles.

The program is being run by the Gitwangak Education Soci-ety through money from Tricorp, the Tribal Resources Investment Corporation which finances ab-original training in northwestern B.C.

“The opportunity for training is hard to come by, so when it comes you have to jump on it,” said one of the participants in the program, Guy Morgan, who

lives in Gitanyow. His goal is to get a job operating heavy equip-ment at one of the mines being proposed for the north, some-thing that will eventually provide for his retirement.

The program started in March with air brake certification and finishes up with exams in early June.

The training was done by Prince-George based Fox Pro-fessional Driver Training.

Program administrator Les-ley Morgan said this is one of several training and certification programs coming to Kitwanga.

JOHN VAN De Velde of John V Construction stands by while Tony Vandermeulen of Anthony’s Excavating takes a break in the excavator at the groundbreaking for five new units at the Tuck Avenue Senior Citizens Residence.

Seniors housing expansionproject is now underwayAN ADDITION to a seniors housing complex on Tuck Ave. is underway thanks to reduced rates being charged by local trades.

And the Terrace and District Chris-tian Council for Social Resources will be seeking volunteer labour as the five-unit construction project moves along, says the council’s secretary treasurer, Lowell Holmquist.

Excavation of the site began mid-April and footings were poured shortly after even though the project was not yet fully financed, he noted.

“Provincial housing organizations are reluctant to believe that a community like Terrace can come together in a way that benefits a local community-based orga-nization, and ultimately for the benefit of seniors living under the provincial low in-come cut-off level,” said Holmquist.

“However, that is one of the many ad-vantages of living in a community like Terrace.”

There are already 18 units in five build-ings at the location, providing low cost

housing for senior citizens. With the ad-ditional construction, it will be a six build-ing complex with 23 units: 14 bachelor apartments and nine one-bedrooms.

The bachelor units are approximately 340 square feet, and the one bedroom units are approximately 520 square feet.

The layout of the units is simple and open with large windows in the living area that open on to lawns and gardens and a front and back door to let in fresh air when the weather is nice, says the description of the project on the proponents website.

Holmquist said the project is the re-sult of a partnership with the city’s hous-ing committee and the city itself through grants for rezoning and planning. A proj-ect steering committee was formed last year among members of the community.

City development services director Da-vid Block helped secure Canadian Mort-gage and Housing Corporation money for architectural drawings and preliminary expenses.

Contributions and reduced trades rates has reduced the estimated cost of the proj-

ect by almost half, said Holmquist.John Van De Velde of John V Construc-

tion has volunteered to be the construction manager and he arranged for the reduced rates.

The Terrace and District Christian Council for Social Resources, a body of people from a variety of churches, has been in existence since the mid-1960s with its main project being the Tuck Se-nior Citizens Residence.

Almost all of the current units have been completely renovated in the last de-cade – they are updated or renovated when they become vacant.

Laundry facilities are provided in an amenity building where there is also a small kitchenette, washrooms, and a com-mon area.

The Tuck housing expansion is one of several initiatives to expand housing op-tions undertaken by the city. It also pro-vided land and assistance leading to the construction of the provincially-owned Market Estates project on Davis Ave. across from George Little Park.

Vet opensTERRACE’S MUCH-ANTICIPATED new animal hospital has opened.

Owner and veterinarian Jatinder Kang of the Terrace Animal Hospital most recently worked in Vancouver.

He said he was pleased to discover that obtaining materials and supplies necessary to the veterinarian trade wasn’t as difficult as he thought it would be in this remoter part of the province.

“People are really friendly and everything we need is available which I was happy to find out,” said Kang. He’s located in the mini-mall on Tetrault.

ENBRIDGE NORTHERN Gateway is tout-ing a new agreement with some trade unions that it says will ensure more local jobs and less dependency on temporary foreign work-ers.

The company has announced that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with four trade unions which guaran-tees a minimum target of 2,100 person-years of employment of union labour on the North-ern Gateway project.

The agreement was signed with the Pipe Line Contractors Association of Canada and the signatory unions were the Laborers’ Inter-national Union of North America, the Inter-national Union of Operating Engineers, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada.

Northern Gateway official Ivan Gies-brecht said that the agreements will mean the project can maximize local employment on the right-of-way first, then regional and na-tional employment.

As well as the 2,100 person-years employ-ment, the MOU is said to ensure that the Proj-ect Labour Agreements “include guarantees consistent with Northern Gateway’s publicly-stated commitments to local business oppor-tunities, high-quality workmanship, worker and public safety, and environmental protec-tion. And it complements existing agreements with aboriginal communities guaranteeing employment and training opportunities,” ac-cording to a news release.

Terrace Standard Wednesday, May 14, 2014 OPINION www.terracestandard.com A5

By DR. DAVID BOWERING

I have recently re-tired from a long career in public health. During

those years, I was part of a growing under-standing of the impor-tance of looking “up-stream” to learn how to address the chronic disease problems that threaten to bankrupt our health care system.

Lack of physical exercise, smoking, and unhealthy eating are “upstream” of the expensive problems of diabetes, heart dis-ease and cancer. Going further, poverty, lack of education and eco-nomic inequality are “upstream” of smoking, poor eating habits and sedentary life styles.

When one goes even farther upstream all the way to the source, one finds an economy that encourages the rapid exploitation of resourc-es in a manner that en-sures that economic inequality gets worse and worse, that the air and water are increas-ingly polluted, especial-ly in those regions and neighbourhoods where people are already poor and disadvantaged.

One finds an econo-my that dumps carbon into the atmosphere as if it didn’t matter, and that produces and prop-agates spin on behalf of governments and their corporate sponsors in a way that is designed to soothe and fool people rather than inform them.

The insanity of pre-tending that perpetual growth is a sign of a healthy economy when almost all of the trade is in non-renewable fos-sil fuels, the astonish-ing lack of government interest in and support for energy conserving and alternative energy technologies, the strate-gic abandonment of sci-ence that shows our de-pendence on a healthy environment in all of its biological complex-ity, and our astounding gullibility as time and again, get-rich-quick boom and bust scenar-ios are sold to us as if there was no other alter-native, are all symptoms of the malaise flowing

from a fatally diseased economic model.

The good news is that a great many peo-ple understand this. The bad news is that so many of us feel over-whelmed given the success the global en-ergy traders have had at controlling the media, most western govern-ments, and the levers of the toxic economy that make them rich at the expense of the rest of us and of the earth itself.

How can we turn this around and how can we possibly build an alter-native future in which healthy human values rather than corporate profits are the touch-stones that we live and work by?

We can start as in-dividuals who refuse to accept a world view that is simply healthy, unsustainable, and ulti-mately dishonest.

We can take respon-sibility as citizens and as parents and grand-parents for what we consume and more im-portantly for what we don’t consume.

We can stay out of our cars a lot more than we do now.

We can educate our-selves in the realities of what we propose to trade for what. Is trad-ing bitumen obtained at great price to our own water supply and envi-ronment in exchange for plastics made in Asia really a good idea?

Is losing a healthy river with its wild salm-on a risk we should run given our own love of unspoiled wilderness in a world in which much of this immeasurable richness has already been lost?

We can grow more of our own food and insist that the food we buy is grown as close to home as possible.

We can work to build families and neighbour-hoods and communities that are healthy; where people have the courage to say no to damaging mega projects that turn even the nicest towns into soulless strip malls featuring all of the fast food and big box fran-chises you can find

literally anywhere on earth where the sellout has taken place.

We can continue to try to make our democ-racy work while ac-cepting the fact that the federal and provincial governments whose po-litical futures are tightly tied to the dangerous schemes and gambles of the energy corporations will be the last to come to their senses and that it will be community by community and at the local government level where the changes will have to start.

Here in the North-west we have a golden opportunity to show the world how this can hap-pen.

We have the lead-ership and cultural strength of most of the First Nations people in the region on side.

We have allies liter-ally around the globe, and there are many of us who understand that this is a watershed in our history that de-mands of each of us that we put ourselves on the line if push comes to shove.

The more we see expensive commercials implying that spawning sockeye would love to see the “safest pipeline ever” cross their spawn-ing beds and tankers that for some reason will be the first safe ones in history cross the estuaries and oceans they depend on for life, or corporate fly fisher-men implying that no one loves the environ-ment like they do, or pastel ads showing a fu-ture only a kindergarten child could believe in, the more we know what we have to do and who we are dealing with.

In the case of the toxic economy, “up-stream” is a long way from here, but if we start in the place where we live, we can have an impact that will begin to work its way up to where the damage is be-ing propagated.

Importantly, we and our children and grand-children will have a bet-ter chance at a healthy sustainable future.

Dr. David Bowering has recently retired as the chief medical officer for northwestern B.C.

FINANCIAL FRAUD is a growing problem in today’s world. Every year, millions of Ca-nadians are targeted by fraudsters no matter their age, education level, income, profession or ethnicity.

Criminals are very creative and will adapt their tactics to ensnare potential victims. Identity theft, credit card fraud, real estate fraud, mass marketing fraud, or payment scams are all different types of frauds that you may encounter at some point in your day-to-day life.

Staying up to date on the latest scams will help you spot the red flags. For example, a telemarketer selling an investment with “High returns with little or no risk – guar-anteed!” may be tempting. But if the offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

You may be urged to sign a contract with-out receiving answers to your questions about its terms and conditions. You’re just told that “It’s complicated. You don’t need to know the details.”

Peer pressure and sense of urgency are just some of the techniques that fraud artists use. If you ex-perience any of these red flags, do not par-ticipate in the trans-action.

For more tips on how to recognize the different types of fraud, take a look at the Competition Bu-reau’s Little Black Book of Scams.

What to do if you become a victim?It’s easy to fall for a financial fraud, fraud-

sters are very convincing, they use legitimate sales tactics in their pitches and victims are often too embarrassed to report it. But it’s important to remember that you’re not alone.

If you’ve encountered or become a victim of fraud, report it immediately to the proper authorities such as the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and your local police.

If you suspect that your identity or your accounts are at risk, you should also notify your financial institutions and Canada’s two credit bureaus immediately. Reporting fraud will help put a stop to it.

Keep in mind that your friends and fam-ily may end up being targeted by the same fraudster. Alert them of the potential threat. Talking about fraud can help you and those you care about stay safe.

Protecting your identity and your finances is essential to your safety and financial well-being.

As a general rule, always be cautious about how and with whom you share per-sonal and financial information such as your address, date of birth, Social Insurance Num-ber, credit card numbers or passwords.

This information can be used to steal your identity and commit financial fraud, which is why it’s important to take proper precautions to protect it.

Delete any email that asks for personal information. Burn or shred any mail or finan-cial papers containing your personal informa-tion, never recycle them. Don’t carry ID with you that you don’t need.

You should also inspect your financial statements each month and check your credit report at least once a year for irregular or unauthorized transactions, or accounts you didn’t open.

Lucie Tedesco is the commissioner of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, an agency of the federal government.

TWO more pieces in the picture of how the northwest stands to bene� t from resource development fell into place last week.

One came in the form of revenue sharing deals between the provincial government and the Tahltan Central Council. The council will receive nearly $300,000 a year from water and land rents being paid by AltaGas to the province for the latter’s McLy-mont Creek and Volcano Creek run-of-river power projects.

The second came to light with news the Nisga’a Lisims Govern-ment is speaking with the province about revenue sharing concerning Avanti Mining’s proposed $1 billion molybdenum mine at Kitsault.

The Tahltan deal is not surprising as it is on top of one providing $2.5 million annually in water and land rents from the much larger Forrest Kerr run-of-river project also owned by AltaGas.

More surprising are the talks be-tween the Nisga’a and the province because the Nisga’a, citing envi-ronmental and socio-economic con-cerns, last year took the province to court seeking an order to suspend the provincial environmental approval certi� cate given Avanti.

That court case is now adjourned, leading to speculation there’s a con-nection between that and the reve-nue sharing talks. Provided the talks produce a deal that satis� es Nisga’a concerns, a steady income stream can only bene� t the Nisga’a and the rest of the region.

EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, May 14, 2014 Terrace Standard

When it comes to combating crime, Terrace and Thornhill

residents could copy the take charge actions of the farm-ing community of Briercrest, Saskatchewan.

On May 3, residents of the prairie village – popula-tion 123 in the 2011 census – helped the RCMP locate a trio of truck rustlers who found themselves on foot after a resident, suspecting they had stolen the truck they had driven into town, snatched the keys from the ignition at the � rst opportu-nity. That left the city slick-ers conspicuously on foot in a strange town. In addition, the person who lifted the keys was able to provide po-lice with a description of the truck’s occupants.

Only as recently as April 28, residents fed up with vehicles being stolen from their area sought sugges-tions from RCMP for ways to reduce their losses. The result was the setting up of a telephone tree, one resident to phone the next at any hint of more thefts. (A telephone tree could also serve as a lo-cal Amber Alert if one were needed.)

May 3 at 4:30 a.m. Mile-stone RCMP received a re-port of a stolen grey Dodge Ram located in Briercrest. The vehicle had been report-ed stolen out of Rouleau, SK. (Dog River of TV fame.) Fur-ther investigation revealed that another stolen vehicle, a white Subaru Forester, was located in the town of Rou-leau, SK. The white Subaru was reported stolen out of the City of Regina. (Clearly these brains had been jump-ing from one stolen vehicle to the next.)

The RCMP contacted neighbouring Moose Jaw and Regina detachments and traf-� c members. Seven RCMP

attended along with Chevy, the tracking dog, who had to give up when wet ground erased all scent.

The Briercrest communi-ty mobilized their phone tree, alerting residents of the three suspects whose whereabouts were unknown and to report any sightings or suspicious activities to RCMP but not to engage the quarry.

Residents fanned out in their pick-up trucks; others residents canvassed boggy areas with quads. A local pi-lot searched from the air.

Shortly after noon May 4, a resident reported to RCMP sighting three people walk-ing through a wet and mud-dy � eld, a � eld impassable to RCMP 4x4s. A farmer scooped up four Mounties in the front bucket of his tractor and ferried them to the three suspects. The three, ages 16, 16, and 17, were arrested and were to be charged with Theft, Possession of Stolen Property, and Breach of Pro-bation.

These Regina thieves failed to take several facts into account. Briercrest and its surrounding farmland is so � at there’s scarcely a knoll or twig to provide cover for a lizard.

As a rule, country folk recognize every local vehi-cle and its customary driver. Any vehicle new to town would be noted – and tracked – from the moment it arrived.

Briercrest is mere kilo-meters from Claybank, so named because the area was the source of excellent clay for a business manufacturing clay bricks and pipes. Wet clay gums up on feet and tires until a tire becomes too thick to � t under the fender. At this time of year, spring runoff can transform area farms into bogs, submerg-ing large tractors and delay-ing spring seeding until the ground dries out.

Before driving off into the hinterlands where gas sta-tions are often few and far between, check the gas tank gauge.

Residents have grown fed up with vehicle and other property thefts and are de-termined to stop it. Anyone contemplating stealing grain from an isolated Briercrest bin, or livestock from a soli-tary pasture should keep this story in mind.

Briercrest folk proved to be a formidable posse and if needed, could quickly mobi-lize again.

Posse aids in criminals’ capture

City ready to chart course for its future

Terrace Standard Wednesday, May 14, 2014 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7

W e know that the city could be facing a significant popula-tion increase in the

near future because of our loca-tion as the supply and services hub for the many planned indus-trial projects in the region.

And that means we need to take a look at our housing stock.

Although housing is a pro-vincial government mandate, the city has undertaken a number of initiatives in the last few years to increase density and support new housing development.

In 2008, a housing task force was set up and in 2009, a housing needs assessment was completed.

When the housing task force completed their work, city coun-cil established a housing commit-tee to assess the housing needs of Terrace residents on an ongoing basis.

The committee developed a housing action plan, which led to an update of the housing needs assessment this year and included a count of the homeless popula-tion in our community.

The committee also identified the need for more seniors hous-

ing – an additional five units are being built now.

In addition to the commit-tee’s work, council has made a number of policy changes to in-crease density, create smaller lot residential zones and allow for secondary suites in all residential zones, among other things.

More recently, city council ad-opted a bylaw establishing a com-munity amenity charge for indus-trial work camp accommodations that will eventually contribute to an affordable housing fund.

DevelopmentHousing is extremely impor-

tant, but Terrace also needs to focus on the economic develop-ment and job creation opportu-nities that exist within our com-munity.

The Skeena Industrial Devel-opment Park located just south of the Northwest Regional Airport, is our city’s biggest opportunity in terms of bringing long-term jobs and stable tax revenue.

The development of the park is a joint venture between the City of Terrace and the Kitselas First Nation and both of these com-

munities will benefit from the tax revenue generated from future development on those lands.

Interest in these lands has in-creased 10-fold amid the influx of other development in the region.

The city has already sold 4.4 hectares of available lands to Global Dewatering Ltd., 66.7 hectares to the Kitselas Devel-opment Corporation and has a Memorandum of Understand-ing in place with the Qinhuang-dao Economic and Technological

Development Zone (QETDZ) for approximately 405 hectares. Progress is ongoing on the pro-posed QETDZ project and we an-ticipate that an agreement will be reached soon.

To support the new heavy in-dustrial and manufacturing fa-cilities at the park on the west side of Highway 37, the City of Terrace is planning a smaller-lot subdivision on the 116 hectares of park land on the east side of Highway 37 to make land avail-able for light industrial and sup-port businesses. The build out of the industrial park will create demand for more light industrial and commercial services and will generate significant new residen-tial development.

PlanningAs well, the city zoning bylaw

is being reviewed and a planning exercise is in the works to de-velop a neighbourhood concept plan for a portion of the heavy and light industrial lands along Keith Avenue west of the Sande Overpass.

The exercise will help deter-mine what future land use should

look like in this area to ensure we can accommodate any anticipat-ed growth – during the review of our Official Community Plan in 2011, the community told us that heavy industrial development was no longer the preferred use for this land.

We listened. The develop-ment of the neighbourhood con-cept plan is a three to four month process and will involve working with property owners, stakehold-ers and the community.

In truth, we don’t know every aspect of how the coming devel-opment will impact our commu-nity, but city council, with the support of our dedicated staff, is doing all that it can within its role as a local government to get ahead of the curve.

Now, perhaps more than ever before, it will be crucial that city council communicate how we’re meeting the opportunities and challenges we all face. It will be important for residents to engage with us so that we might chart a path for the future of Terrace to-gether.

Tankers cando the jobDear Sir:

Re: the recent col-umn by Kitimat refinery proponent David Black that tankers are an envi-ronmental threat to the coast.

Continued safe ma-rine and pipeline trans-port of hydrocarbons is in everybody’s interest so Canadians can real-ize value for resources and oil producers can continue to deliver jobs and economic benefits. No one wants a spill of any product at any time.

The performance track record over the past 50 years is good, but even still, work is ongoing to improve pre-vention and ensure pro-ducers, transportation companies and spill-re-sponders have the best information available to manage products safely and make the best plans possible for response, containment and clean-up in the event of an in-cident.

Black’s column in-correctly suggested the

Canadian oil industry is not interested in the proposed refinery proj-ect and that transporting diluted bitumen is more risky than transport-ing other types of oil because of its chemical properties.

Fact is, oil producers are seeking increased access to existing and new markets – in Can-ada, the United States and internationally – to satisfy market demand for increasing Cana-dian oil production. All options to achieve that goal are worthy of study.

Diluted bitumen – oil sands bitumen diluted with natural gas liquids that allow it to flow – is no more dangerous than other types of crude oil.

Chemically, there’s nothing about diluted bitumen the transporta-tion system cannot be prepared to manage. Whether it moves by pipelines or tankers, di-luted bitumen meets all the same specifications

and behaves the same as other crude oils.

Oil floats on water if it has an API gravity above water’s 10 degree API gravity. Diluted bi-tumen has an API grav-ity of 20-22 degrees.

Any type of oil spilled in water, eventually “weathers” and can be driven below the sur-face by waves or cur-rents. Diluted bitumen behaves the same way.

There have been sev-

eral scientific studies completed on diluted bitumen.

Earlier this year, the federal government re-leased a research study that demonstrated di-luted bitumen floats on

salt water – even after evaporation and expo-sure to light.

The study was com-missioned by Environ-ment Canada, Fisher-ies and Oceans Canada and Natural Resources

Canada as part of the government’s plan to implement a world-class prevention, pre-paredness and response regime for marine trans-portation.

PLUMBING& HEATING LTD.

Dear Sir:Anything would be

an improvement on the Enbridge bitumen ship-ping proposal as it now stands.

To use David Black’s words in his recent col-umn concerning his refinery proposal, “the grounding of the Exx-on Valdez in Alaska in 1989 is often held up as an example of how bad an oil spill ... can be; however, a spill of bitumen at sea would

be much worse. The Exxon Valdez carried light crude. After four years of work, less than 10 per cent of the [oil] has been recovered.”

Some say that, with GPS-based navigation and double hulls, spills such as Exxon Valdez are not possible to-day. “They are wrong,” Black says. “Double hulls do not prevent hull fracture ... most marine accidents are caused by human inattention.”

So another Exxon Valdez could happen in the Douglas Channel, even with Black’s re-fined products.

But, build the refin-ery and bitumen ship-ping terminal in a more acceptable location – in the Port Simpson area – and at the same time helping Northern Gate-way to regain some BC public support.

And begin shipping bitumen to world mar-kets sooner, while we

wait for the refinery to be completed.

The relatively per-fect solution would be to convince Kinder Morgan to also move to the Port Simpson area, also jointly with Enbridge and Black’s refinery.

This would very much reduce the threat of bitumen spills in southern BC’s very busy waters.

Maybe Mr. Harper could chat with Kinder Morgan folks and start the ball rolling – in-creasing greatly the possibility that any bi-tumen pipelines will be built in B.C., ever – as proposed.

Carl Shalansky,North Vancouver, B.C.

Port Simpson greatplace for oil refinery

Results of the study will be used to inform spill responders and help guide more research.

Our industry is focused on re-sponsible development of Canada’s resources.

We welcome transparency on our safety and environmental perfor-mance, based on sound science.

As producers, we transport oil with care and attention at all times. We expect all transportation provid-ers to deliver safe services in a re-sponsible manner.

Dear Sir:At a recent Terrace city council

meeting, it was suggested the city print stickers or leaflets to be dropped on the windshields of anyone illegally parking a vehicle in a handicapped zone.

SPARC BC, the Social Planning and Research Council of BC which focuses on social justice issues and

which issues handicapped parking permits in other places, would be happy to supply Terrace with as many “gentle reminders” as they would like, free.

SPARC BC’s “gentle reminders” would likely carry more weight than anything printed up by the city.

■ From unused to artCALEDONIA ART students Colton Sirling, left, and Jordyn Daumont show their artwork that is part of an art project they and their classmates did along with help from artist Laura MacGregor. With an Arts Start grant titled “Art as Function,” students chose an everyday wooden object to paint. They did everything from sanding and priming, creating a 2-D image, and re-creating it into their 3-D object. Sirling’s piece is called Ignis et Grando and Daumont’s is Pieces of the Heart. Their pieces plus artwork from other local schools are on display for the Youth Art Exhibition at the art gallery through May 24.

A LOCAL advocate for people who have an ac-quired brain injury now has two national awards.

Yvonne Nielsen was presented with the 2013 Brain Injury Association of Canada Award of Merit at a conference in Kingston, Ontario.

The award is granted to recognize community members who have exhibited leadership and made significant contributions to advance the cause of ac-quired brain injury in Canada.

Nielsen acquired her brain injury as a result of a car accident.

“I have done so much over the 26 years to pro-vide information to this community on acquired brain injury,” said Nielsen of the award.

“I have written articles over these years to the newspaper, did school presentations, left the Head-line Magazine in various places around town,” she added.

Her advocacy list includes a presentation to city council, appearing on a CFTK Open Connection segment and speaking with provincial cabinet min-isters and others when they visit the area.

“Receiving the Award of Merit means a lot to me,” said Nielsen.

Nielsen has, for instance, has asked the city for more and better bike lanes and to have skate board-ers wear helmets.

She’s also donated a number of books on brain injuries to the Terrace Public Library and to other local agencies.

In 2011, Nielsen was named the first-ever recipi-ent of the Debbie and Trevor Greene Award of Hon-our which is now given annually to a person who makes an extraordinary contribution to advance the cause of acquired brain injury in Canada.

Trevor Greene was on duty in Afghanistan as an armed forces reservist when he was attacked by a teen carrying an axe.

The blow nearly split Greene’s brain in half and he has since gone through extensive care and reha-bilitation with the assistance of wife Debbie.

Fundraiser ■ COMEDIAN IAN BAGG benefit

fundraiser is June 1 at the REM Lee The-atre. All proceeds go to help Shannon Peden. Not recommended for youths un-der age 16.

Here’s a thing, an age-related change: when you get older and have so much informa-tion stored in your brain and

memory in your muscles, it becomes more difficult to remember where you originally got that info.

For example, was it from a docu-mentary or a magazine article that I found out about the habits of fruit-eating bats? Was it YouTube or cable TV where how to de-bone a duck was demonstrated? Wait: maybe it was in the movie “Julia and Julie.” Or not.

Anyway, I have recently started to make garbage soup and can’t remem-ber how I learned to do so. (Nobody but me calls it garbage soup except that character on Barney Miller with his Japanese fish-head dish.)

To make a vegetable-stock kind of garbage soup, you cook as you nor-mally do, except that instead of scrap-ing the onion skins, chive roots, carrot tops, celery tips, red or green pepper tops and seeds, and other bits and piec-es of good vegetables into the garbage (or into the compost), you save them.

Not the brown gushy stuff or fuzzy moldy things, just the nice cut-off bits. Not in a dingy bucket beside the sink, but in a special bag in the freezer. Mine is blue and ties up fast yet opens easily when I have a handful of garlic skins or tomato stems in my hands. Oh – re-member to remove the stickers.

When the special bag in your freezer starts getting full, you can think about vegetable stock. Get a pot, fill it with water, set it on high. Almost done.

Some people get all fancy and get fresh herbs and tie them a special little permeable bag and hang it off to the

side. Phhff. If you are northern or Eu-ropean or both, you throw the herbs and spices right into the stock pot with the peelings. Bay leaf and dill are rec-ommended (or, if you are Mennonite, required by church law) to make the stock schmakje good.

Now what? Let it bubble or simmer while you do other things for an hour or so – darn socks, plant a half-acre of potatoes, sew a quilt, or watch Netflix. All are allowed.

When the garbage has been delici-fied, strain the veg bits out, taste it, then add salt and pepper as you like. (NOW the veg bits can go to the com-post.)

Okay, the moment of truth: slip a spoon in there, blow and sip. So good! Yum yum yummy – don’t eat it all in-

stantly, save some! For chicken noodle soup (add organic egg noodles and chicken and thyme), for rice (instead of water) or for any savoury dish. This is a fact: your son’s girlfriend’s friend will stand in your kitchen slurping soup, saying “This is so good! This is SO good!” and you can nod and say, “Yeah, I know.”

I hope at this point you can promise never to throw out veg bits again be-fore first transforming them into to a bright flavourful broth, to be stored in your freezer and labeled as “Veg stock (date)” – can you do that for me now? I recommend using a shallow container you can scoop, a tall one with a pour-able spout, either can defrost in a big bowl of hot water. Or go glamorous and freeze as ice cubes.

Dem bones: now that I know what I know, I feel deeply sorry about all the carcasses I have chucked. The stuff in and around bones is very good for us. Chicken bones, easy-breezy: chicken thighs, supermarket rotisserie chicken, the marrow gods do not care, just let them out to do their thing. As above, do not throw them away, simmer with a bit of garbage, store. Brown beef bones in the oven first for to-die-for French onion soup.

Get your witch’s caldron out, and chant “Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble.” If you have a bit of onion, throw it in, half a carrot, two tired celery stalks, per-haps parsnip peel. Stone soup comes to mind: these bits combined make a beautiful stock. Strain, save, label, sa-vour.

Oh, and meat seared in pan – do not discard: Deglaze and reduce.

THE NUMBER of lo-cal people considered homeless as identified through a two-day sur-vey conducted on the streets and in shelters last month is now 74, an increase over a pre-liminary count of more than 50.

Eight out of the total were perceived to be homeless, and did not fill out the survey.

The city-financed count carried out by the Terrace and District Community Services Society (TDCSS) April 22 and 23 is intended to guide efforts to provide housing.

Seven respondents said they couldn’t get into a homeless shelter because it was full and another five chose not to stay in a shelter be-cause they don’t like to stay in them.

Ksan Society, the local housing not-for-profit runs two shel-ters—one for women and one for men. The breakdown of gender of the homeless who responded to the survey was 22 females and 44 males.

On the nights of April 21 and April 22, eight homeless people stayed outside or in a vehicle, 19 at some-one else’s place, one at their parents, and 16 re-sponded “other” which included flophouses and non-conventional out-door shelter.

Of the total num-ber of homeless, 22 responded that they stayed in the shelter one of those two nights of the survey. Seven said they were turned away from shelters because they were full, two listed other reasons for being turned away and three couldn’t find a shelter or didn’t know about the shelter, and 13 were able to stay with a friend.

Of those surveyed, 40 out of the 66 had stayed in the shelter in the previous 12 months and 20 had not.

Age-wise, the oldest person surveyed was 73-years-old and the youngest 20.

Three were in their 60s, eight were in their in 50s, eight in their 40s, eight in 30s and

seven in their 20s. The survey asked if

those responding con-sidered themselves to be aboriginal—44 re-sponded yes to that and 15 said no.

In terms of where these homeless received their money, 14 said it was from welfare/income assistance, six disability benefit, and four from binning and bottle returns.

Two homeless peo-ple had full-time jobs, two had part-time or causal jobs, two were on the Canadian Pension Plan or other pensions, four had no income, and two responded “other.”

Those on disability and welfare said they supplemented their so-cial assistance with bot-tle return and binning.

With regards to health, 22 respondents said they suffered from a medical condition, 14 had a disability, 13 had addiction issues and two mental illness.

According to TDC-SS outreach worker Michael Watson, who is one of the administra-tors of the survey, the

rise over past homeless numbers unofficially estimated several years ago at 15-18 is due to rising rental costs.

Watson said he rec-ognized individuals on the streets who had been evicted because of renovations being done on buildings after which the rates were hiked by the landlords. These are called ‘renovictions’ and have been report-ed in several northern

towns.“In one apartment I

know of, they were al-lowed to go back but they had to pay $1,200 instead of the $775 they were paying,” said Wat-son, adding that at least two of those people showed up in the home-less count.

He said the solu-tion is either more affordable housing or hiking social assis-tance rates.

Homeless populationhigher than estimated

By ANNA KILLEN

WHEN OUTGOING superintendent Nancy Wells signed her � rst contract with the Coast Mountains School Dis-trict, she intended to stay six months.

She ended up stay-ing three-and-a-half years – in part, because she didn’t want to leave the district with work un� nished.

But Wells, who handed off the reins to new superintendent Katherine McIntosh May 1, is now con� -dent the district is “on the cusp of some hugely exciting times” and believes that as long as the district remains focussed and on track, learning outcomes will improve going forward.

“In education, things don’t happen quickly. It’s taken us three-and-a-half years to get us to a place where we feel we’re a moving, im-proving school district, and it will take more years to see the results improve,” said the vet-eran administrator, who � rst worked in the dis-trict in the early ‘80s and then worked throughout the province before she was approached to take on a six-month con-tract as superintendent following the sudden departure of superinten-dent Rob Greenwood in 2010.

“The district had been through some rough times,” she said, of that time. “Morale was low, teamwork wasn’t really happen-ing. There wasn’t a fo-cus on what I believe the focus should be, which is student learn-ing, so I just tried to bring everybody in line around a focus of stu-dent achievement.”

A lack of con� dence on numerous levels, teacher job action in

2012, and, most recent-ly, uncertain student en-rolment numbers due to the housing crunch are just some of the chal-lenges the district has seen. But Wells said the key to moving through challenges is to stay fo-cussed on the students – and the end goal of making sure they all graduate and move on to some form of post-secondary education.

“Stick to it and focus on getting those kids across the stage,” she said. “No kids on the sidelines.”

There are “numerous indicators the district is on the move,” Wells said. A high interest in professional learning amongst district work-ers, administrators, and teachers, a positive sense of school commu-nity in district schools, and a solid focus on early learning and ab-original education are just some ways the dis-trict has begun to set the groundwork for future success.

“Across the district, but particularly with the aboriginal community, focussing on relation-ships has really paid off,” she said, pointing to the aboriginal learn-ing success committee which see participation from area bands at re-

gional and district-wide meetings.

And work that has taken place in the Ha-zeltons over the past year – district of� cials engaged with commu-nity members to identi-fy what that community would like to see in its schools – has led to “a very solid idea of how to move forward.”

Wells is leaving be-hind a district which is much more engaged with industry than it was three-and-a-half years ago. While she didn’t see the economic boom coming, she did sense that trades train-ing was going to be-come an issue for the district. “It’s a natural resource industry area,” she said. “With the sup-port for trades here now and the wonderful way the education commu-nity and industry are coming together, the opportunities for young people here are unbe-lievable.”

But she stresses the focus on trades doesn’t come at the expense of academics. “We’re saying post-secondary. Post-secondary for ev-erybody. Walk the stage with dignity, walk the stage with choices, and take some kind of train-ing after you leave sec-ondary school.”

And while the op-portunities for district students are improving, in part because of part-nerships and the various systems and programs which have been imple-

mented over the last few years, there could be improvements in how the provincial govern-ment views rural school districts.

“I’d like to see the government change their funding formula for rural communities,” she said. “Rural school districts could be more fairly managed. And I’d like to see the gov-ernment truly support public education ... Be-cause we do struggle � nancially and we rely a lot on staff who will carry on despite all of the dif� culties. You would think as a society we could � gure out that spending money and re-sources on education is the best way to spend your money.”

- Catherine Pennington, Senior Manager, Community Benefi ts & Sustainability

“I look at Northern Gateway and see a project that will build families and communities for generations.

That’s what I’m most proud of.”

We at Northern Gateway are committed to ensuring that jobs and business opportunities will be available to people living near the Project’s right-of-way.

DEDICATED TO MEANINGFUL ABORIGINAL INCLUSION Catherine connects willing job seekers with existing and emerging opportunities. She is focused on helping the Project meet its goal of having Aboriginal people comprise 15 per cent of the construction workforce. “Many Northern communities are experiencing or have experienced desperate cycles of poverty, in part due to a lack of the necessary skills for the existing employment opportunities. I believe people in Northern and North Western B.C. have yet to fully realize their enormous potential. By actively investing in better education and skills training, opportunities for advancement and connections to good, steady jobs, we know we can make a real diff erence.”

IT ALL ADDS UP TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT In Catherine’s experience, removing barriers to employment has a huge impact – not just on individual job seekers, but on their communities as well. When you connect someone to a job, you also build individual and social pride, enhanced connections, dignity and ultimately, stronger sustainable communities. “As a trained social worker with experience in community development, I have found it very rewarding to work in Industry. You have the opportunity to create really meaningful outcomes that are mutually benefi cial. Our model of shared responsibility for working with communities is unique and is being emulated by other companies.”

SUCCESS ACROSS THE NORTH We have held discussions with numerous training providers, colleges, universities and employment service providers in Northern B.C. to identify programming needs to help Aboriginal and local people take advantage of the surge in energy projects in the region. We have also worked to tailor programming to the needs of individual communities. “Fundamentally, there’s nothing more powerful than helping someone make that connection to employment, because it leads to a larger, more positive and healthier social outcome.” As a company and a neighbour, we want to see Northern residents get the best opportunities because that benefi ts us all. It’s how we will build more than a safer, better pipeline, we will help build a better B.C.

Catherine Pennington spearheads our community benefi ts and sustainability initiatives which include education and skills development.

For over 10 years, she has lived and worked in Northern B.C. with First Nation and Métis

communities, creating partnerships and programs that focus on improving employment and social

outcomes for the long term.

■ Smooth workWALKERS, JOGGERS and cyclists now have a smoother journey along the Millennium Trail extension parallel to Hwy16 thanks to Terrace Paving crews, who laid down asphalt last week. The work is leading to the completion of the project, which was started last year. Long-term plans call for the trail to extend west to the Kalum River. Concrete panels and new asphalt were also put down on the Kenney St. rail crossing last week, eliminating what had been a bumpy ride over the tracks for cyclists and motorists.

A 12-year-old girl suf-fered minor injuries as did a 17-year-old boy on a bike when both were struck by vehicles in separate injuries over a 24-hour period from May 6-7, report Terrace RCMP.

The girl was struck on Scott Ave. and Kalum St. by a small grey jeep.

The driver failed to stop.

But the driver of the incident involving the boy did stop, say RCMP.

Police are also re-minding motorists and others that this is Can-ada Road Safety Week.

The focus will be on behaviours that put drivers, passengers and other road users most at risk: impaired driving, seatbelt use, and all as-pects related to aggres-

sive and distracted driv-ing. “The deaths, pain and broken hearts that

result from careless-ness behind the wheel can be prevented,” says

Sgt. Pamela Hart, NCO i/c West Paci� c Region Traf� c Services.

Gov’t to announce aid for regionThe $150,000 is to go

towards “targeted funds to study the impacts that LNG developments have on community wa-ter and sewer systems, roads, health, safety and social systems,” accord-ing to a ministry release last year.

The money can “be used for a range of ac-tivities related to as-sessing the technical, environmental and/or economic feasibility of municipal infrastructure projects necessary to support LNG develop-ment,” the release said.

The announcement comes in the wake of a heated debate between Austin and Coleman in the provincial legis-lature of which Austin says the housing min-ister appeared to have woken up to the fact that Terrace and Kitimat can’t wait for the sound of shovels digging on LNG projects for help solving the housing crunch already taking hold.

“I have noticed some movement in Rich Coleman,” said Austin. “About a year ago he was pretty noncommit-tal. I think now he has heard loudly not just from me but from city councils and he under-stands now we have a housing crisis long be-fore there is any invest-ment decision on LNG.

“I’ve heard stories of people who are looking for housing here and there is no BC Housing available here so they are moving to Burns

Lake,” Austin said.But now, he said

Coleman has started a process to change sub-sidy levels to match current rental prices, a

change which housing advocates in the region have been seeking for some time.

Subsidy hikes an-nounced at the end of

April affect all B.C. communities outside Metro Vancouver equal-ly and apply to Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) and the Rent-

al Assistance Program (RAP).

The total increase is $62.5 million over five years, which works out to $12.5 million a year.

The change raises the rent ceiling in vari-ous categories which means the amount of aid money will increase on average for those re-

ceiving it, with families seeing an extra $40 per month and seniors $34 per month average, ac-cording to a BC Hous-ing release.

From front

HousingPositives also includ-

ed welcoming of more people with new energy and ideas, new stores and shopping choices.

But the influx of new people also came up as a negative with not enough jobs going to local people and not wanting new people to change the community.

“We would like to hold regular community dialogues engaging the community in coming up with solutions to the impacts and strength-ening our relationships with each other,” said Loggin. “I would en-courage people to stay tuned and not hesitate to let us know if they are interested.”

Together, we’ve built Canada. Together, we’ll build Gateway.

When working people benefit, Canada benefits. That’s why we support Northern Gateway.

Canada’s trade unions have always fought to ensure working people and their families benefit from economic growth. That’s why the Pipe Line Contractors Association of Canada and four national unions—representing the most experienced construction workforce anywhere in the world—are proud to support the Northern Gateway Pipeline.

Northern Gateway is a nation-building project that has the potential to secure long-term energy and economic security for the next 100 years. But only—and this is critical—if it is built right and for the benefit of average families and the communities in which we live.

The Memorandum Of Understanding our unions signed with Northern Gateway ensures the project is built to the highest possible environmental and safety standards. It supports Northern Gateway’s commitment to jobs and lasting social benefits for Aboriginal communities. And it helps ensure new training opportunities for young people—opportunities that will last them a lifetime.

As trade union members, we place a high value on protecting our natural environment. We have been building pipelines for over 60 years and know what it takes to protect the environment we all value. The Joint Review Panel process was

the most comprehensive environmental review for an oil pipeline Canada has ever seen, and its recommendation found that we can build Northern Gateway while still protecting our environment.

For these reasons, our trade unions— and the 300,000 Canadian working men and women we represent—believe Northern Gateway is the right choice for Canadian workers and their families. When working people and their communities benefit—as they do with Northern Gateway—then we all benefit with a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous country for every Canadian.

Violet Kathleen Bennett “Vi”

1922 - 2014It is with deep sorrow that the

family of Violet Bennett announces her passing on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook at 92 years of age.

Vi was born on April 20, 1922 in West Wickham, Kent, England. She worked in an airplane factory during WWII where she met and married Albert “Pinky” Bennett who was serving with the Canadian Army. She immigrated to Canada in June of 1945 as a war bride and she and Pinky settled in Trail, BC where Vi raised their three daughters. Vi moved to Cranbrook in the Mid 1990’s to be closer to Hazel and Bonnie. Joseph Creek Care Village was Vi’s final home, where she received loving and devoted care from their giving team of workers.

Left to mourn Vi’s passing are her daughters Hazel (Alex) McDonald of Moyie, BC, Carol Franson of Terrace, BC and Bonnie (Dan) Ward of Creston, BC, 7 wonderful grandchildren and 17 incredible great grandchildren. Vi was predeceased by her loving husband Albert Howard Bennett in 1976.

A private graveside service for Vi will be held in the Trail Cemetery in June of 2014.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Northwest Community College (NWCC) is an accredited post-secondary institution that serves the rich and diverse communities and learners of BC’s beautiful Northwest region. Established in Terrace, BC, and with a significant presence in Prince Rupert and Smithers, NWCC has expanded to nine regional campuses that cover a service area of more than 100,000 square kilometres. This provides 34 communities from Houston in the East, Hazelton in the North, to Haida Gwaii in the West, with innovative and diverse educational offerings including university transfer and applied degree programs, career and trades training, upgrading and preparatory programs and continuing education.

An opportunity now exists for a proven academic leader to join NWCC as its new President & CEO and to contribute to the outstanding spirit of the College which has a student body comprised of over 40% First Nations and Aboriginal learners. He/she will provide highly visible leadership throughout the region and to all stakeholders, and will support the Board and its mandate on all levels.

The ideal candidate is a senior educational leader with a Master’s or doctoral level degree or alternatively with a professional designation (PEng, CA, LLB, etc.). He/she is known to be a visionary leader, highly effective at bringing people together to focus on the vision and strategy of

an organization.

Girl, do you even lift?Upcoming competition has many saying yes

JO MCINSTRIE PHOTO

■ Ice breakTHE TERRACE Northmen Rug-

by Club hosted a 7’s tournament Saturday, May 3 at the Northwest

Community College � eld against their northwest compatriots to kick off the

season and gear up for Rugbyfest in Edmonton over the May long weekend.

Speaking after, Northman Adam Linteris said it’s still tough to say how the North-men will do this season. “We have a pretty athletic group of guys but we are a pretty physically small team,” he said. “I think

we will do well, though PG and Williams Lake are always really good so we have a lot of work to do if we want to put ourselves in a position to win. It’s going to be a fun season though.” That’s Jordy DaCosta making the play for the Northmen, and on the left is former Northman Jar-ryd Kurisu.

By ANNA KILLEN

“CONTROL,” BOOMS trainer Adam Yawrenko. “You don’t want to follow through, you want to keep that back locked. Just up and down... Like a piston.”

We’re at the Northcoast gym in Terrace and I’m learning how to bench press – an idea that sounded fun when I pitched it, but is becoming less and less appealing as the session goes on and I begin to realize that I’m probably not going to be able to move my arms for a couple of days.

“You’re going to hate yourself tomorrow,” Yawrenko says, gleefully, as my arms begin to shake, the 45-pound bar wobbling back and forth above my chest. I breathe, steady and get my form back, remembering to keep my arms straight, my shoulders back, my core tight, my legs locked. With Yawrenko’s coaching, I manage a couple more sets – and come to the conclusion that car-dio only isn’t going to cut it anymore.

My workout partner for the day, Angela Za-nardo, is much more impressive with the bar. Af-ter only training for a few months, she’s able to lift 90 pounds, and is serious about lifting more.

She’s in training crunch time right now – as are the other 40-plus competitors getting ready for the gym’s May 25 weightlifting competition, which will see athletes from Terrace, Kitimat, and Prince Rupert take over the gym to com-pete in bench press and dead lift. There will be smaller competitions for members of the Terrace Northmen Rugby Club and of Terrace Minor Hockey, and seven out of the 40 people signed up are women – a solid number, says Yawrenko.

It’s technically the sixth time the gym has had this competition, but its been on hiatus for three years. This year, people around the gym started asking about a competition and the decision was made to bring it back. If everything goes to plan, Yawrenko said he wants to see Terrace-based judges trained so that there can be of� cial com-petitions here in the future.

Netzel high jumps to � rstTERRACE TRACK and � eld athlete Cam-eron Netzel was the lone Terrace athlete to attend the Prince George Sub Zero meet May 3 and he didn’t disappoint.

Netzel was in � ne form, winning the specialty high jump with this year’s best time of 175 cm. His attempts to tie the meet record for high jump came just short, but he also won long jump, triple jump, and placed second in javelin.

Netzel travelled with the Prince Rupert team and their coach Dighton Haynes. Haynes used to coach in Terrace before moving to Prince Rupert this year.

Nisga’a Nation Track and Field took a strong contingent to the meet, placing fourth overall out of the 12 teams in atten-dance.

Nisga’a athlete highlights include a � rst place � nish for James Grif� n in 800 m, Seth Williams’ � rst place � nishes in discus 1 kg and javelin, Zane Brown’s � rst in discus 1.75 kg, Marlyn Morven’s � rst in 400m, Ashneel Rai’s second in triple jump, Brendan McMillan’s third in discus 1.5 kg, Justin Stuart’s third in triple jump, and Terry Clayton’s third in discus 1 kg.

THE TERRACE Bluebacks had an “excel-lent” meet in Kitimat the � rst weekend in May, said coach Mike Christensen, with the team hitting their highest points total of the season with 409 points.

Renzo Zanardo posted top points with 35, with Thomas Christensen (34), Jade Heath� eld (33), Anke de Wit (31), Jonus Lecuyer (27), and Harlene Takhar (27) rounding out the top.

Swimmers Avery Back, Mackenzie Bannister, Eva Barnett, Erin Billson, Cae-lyn Christensen, Aubrey Gingles, Bella Lang, and Jonus Lecuyer all posted 100 per cent best times.

There were a number of � rst place � n-ishes in individual events. Jade Heath� eld placed � rst in the 50 Breast & 200IM, Renzo Zanardo took � rst in 200 Free, Ha-zel McDaniel placed � rst in 400 Free, Har-lene Takhar in 400IM, and Thomas Chris-tensen in 200Back. And the relay team of Juliet Lukasser, Avery Back, Caelyn Christensen, and Erin Billson � nished � rst in the 10 & Under Girls 200 Free Relay.

Bluebacks also clocked in at 'A' time standards: Mackenzie Bannister - 50 Free in 39.15, Jonus Lecuyer - 50 Free in 33.91, and Renzo Zanardo - 50 Free in 33.00.

And for 'AA' time standards, Anke de Wit - 100 Free in 1:05.67, Jade Heath� eld - 200IM in 3:11.15, and Pasha Ormerod - 50 Free in 32.11, hit the mark.

The Bluebacks are now readying for the last regional meet of the year in Prince Rupert June 6-8.

A28 www.terracestandard.com SPORTS Wednesday, May 14, 2014 Terrace Standard

When I � rst began � shing the Lakelse River, the remains of what appeared to be some wooden steps could be seen

about a hundred metres upstream of the train bridge on the right side of the river. Pioneer angler Gene Llewellyn, who � rst � shed the upper reaches of the Lakelse over 60 years ago, told me they were all that was left of a mill once operated by Claire Gigge.

I began calling the crumbling route that led to that spot Gigge’s Road until Ron Cote, who was still working a trapline in the Lakelse Corridor at that time, read one of my columns in which I used that name and told me he thought the road was built by Hud Fisher. After that I began referring to it as Fisher Road, which seemed singu-larly appropriate. To reach Fisher Road, you turn off Beam Station Road approxi-mately a click south of Herman Lake, then instead of driving the lumpy branch to the Herman’s Point parking lot, you turn east.

The road was built to access timber. It was built by men who had little under-standing of the impacts roads can have on wildlife. The builders laid the road across a host of creeks that drain the land � anking Mount Herman. The importance of those diminutive arteries is in inverse proportion to their size. Most were blocked then went dry when the hydrological structure of the parts of the forest they once irrigated were altered by clear cutting. Hai Creek was

large enough to com-mand the attention of the road builders who put in an ill planned culvert that is now perched a metre above the stream bed.

The small streams that hadn’t dried up kept chewing away at the un-derpinnings of the road. A signi� cant � ssure ap-peared a kilometre in. Some folks stuck some logs in it so that trucks could cross it, even though doing so was a risky proposition. Then along came an entrepre-neur who owned a Bob-cat, and unilaterally de-cided that he would alter Fisher Road with his little hoe so that it would only accom-modate ATVs so that he could then con-duct and charge for ATV tours down the river. To this end he excavated huge boul-ders that he placed in such a way as to bar truck access. That done, this arrogant and sel� sh ignoramus then spent considerable time and effort bucking up large logs that blocked the road a � ve minute walk up-stream of the railway crossing. At the end of his exertions this fool had constructed a corduroy bridge across a small, fry � lled creek at the cost of plugging it totally.

Half way between the Coldwater Branch Road and the Rail Bridge, a beautiful little creek we call Secret Creek enters the river. It’s a nursery for salmon and trout fry. The bridge across it is long gone. The Bobcat operator simply cleared the fallen trees so that he could drive right through it.

So many violations to the Fisheries Act were committed by this van-dal that he should have been � ned mightily and had his Bobcat seized. Yet when I phoned the Ministry of Environ-

ment, a conservation of� cer told me that he didn’t think the guy had done anything wrong. I was about to take the issue, and the issue of the of� cer’s competence to both the federal and provincial ministers when the activity ceased. Andrew Williams told me the fellow had left town. Still his legacy remained. ATV traf� c increased. Fish bearing creeks are now driven through on a regular basis. A hundred metre stretch of Secret Creek is now being used as the roadway.

The largest of the streams Fisher Road crosses is Herman Creek. For many years

there was a substantial wooden bridge spanning it, then, about a decade ago, the perfectly sound structure was pulled due, no doubt to issues of liability. This was an extraordinarily stupid decision. With no bridge across it, � sh rich Herman Creek was exposed to ATV operators who simply drove through it on a regular basis despite the illegality of doing so.

Recently a new span has been installed over Herman’s to give some timber com-pany access to timber that should not be logged, so Herman has been give a re-prieve, that is until that bridge is inevitably pulled.

The old Ministry of Forests is not part of the FLNRO conglomerate. Its powers are considerably reduced, which given the deplorable job it has done with the provin-cial forests, is a good thing. One of its du-ties now is to police ATV use. To this end it has hung up signs and nothing more.

It’s time that DFO and FLNRO joined forces to put Fisher Road to bed once and for all. ATV use needs to be banned. The Culvert at Hai Creek has to be pulled. All the damage done by the fool with the Bob-cat has to be repaired. A hundred metres past the Herman Creek Crossing, the � s-sure I mentioned earlier needs to be wid-ened and protected with concrete barriers so that the road and the creeks its construc-tion compromised can be given time to heal.

Copeland initially approached the TYSA board about having the festival, which took place over two days. At right, Landyn Da-Ponte, 7, practises his footwork during the May 3 session.

Soccer skills uppedTERRACE YOUTH Soccer Associa-tion (TYSA) kicked off the season with a weekend soccer festival May 3 and 4 at Christy Park.

The two-day event saw around 355 young soccer players (about half of the entire organization) train using GAG (Game Activity Game) Methodology, which breaks up practices into segments of games and skill development. BC Soc-cer sponsored the day, sending facilitators to Terrace from the Lower Mainland to as-sist with the festival, one of many similar events held province-wide.

TYSA’s new technical director John Sneddon was on hand all weekend, and he’ll be on the � eld every week until the end of June. On Saturdays, aside from game play, teams will work one-on-one with Sneddon on skill development.

“It’s giving them time with a profes-sional coach,” said TYSA vice president Sean Bujtas.

And it’s not just the players who will bene� t from this change – parent coaches will learn valuable coaching skills as well.

“He’s not just teaching players, he’s teaching the teachers,” said Bujtas.

Lift comp coming up

“It’s like practising hockey your whole life and never having a game,” explained Yawrenko, of why the competition is im-portant. “Some of these kids want to have a chance. And you’ll � nd that their personal records, their personal bests go up under a meet like this.”

Northcoast Fitness owner Ashley Whit-tington said the competition, which will be one of the biggest events the gym has ever had, is for everyone and gives people at all levels of training an opportunity to set and achieve a new goal.

“It’s not just for powerlifting people,” he said. “Anybody. Youth, females... It’s about setting goals for people.”

“Achievable goals,” adds Yawrenko. “Set achievable goals, obtain that goal, and set another achievable goal.”

The weightlifters who competed three years ago have at least one goal – a most improved award will be given out at the competition, and the 40 people who com-pete will be up for the award next year.

And while it gave a good idea of what competitors do to train before a competi-tion – a lot – the crash bench press session I experienced isn’t how one would serious-ly go about learning how to lift, cautions Yawrenko.

Typically, one would train on machines and build up strength before trying out the bar. And it’s important to get the help of someone who knows their way around the gym for a few sessions to minimize the risk of injury.

There’s an art to gaining strength and testing the limits, and it’s something that is built up over time.

“You don’t get stronger by lifting some-thing once, you get stronger by doing it re-peatedly,” said Whittington.

The competition gets going at 10 a.m. on Sunday, May 25 at Northcoast gym.

Discovering beautiful B.C. in a classic car adventureOnly mad dogs and Englishmen drive open top cars in the extremely chilly B.C. high country at this time of year.But taking part in the three-day Hagerty Spring Thaw rally, staged by Classic Car Adventures, certainly turned on this Limey to the idea of a B.C. summer ‘staycation’ on roads that show natural beauty at its awe inspiring best.Since my old U.K. friend, George Holt, moved to Gabriola Island a few years ago, he’s pestered me to join him on a rally. Wild tales of his racing exploits persuaded me that my participation might make it the last wish on my buck-et list. Literally.When Hagerty Insurance invited me to take part in the non-competitive rally for pre-1979 touring and sports cars, covering almost 1,100 kilometres, I fig-ured this was the time to invite George.“I’m up for it, Sid, and I have the perfect car,” George responded. You get used to him calling every male, Sid, and female, Doris. He worked day and night to ready his 1954 XK 120 Jaguar roadster – it rolled off the production line in the same year I did. It cranks out 200 horses from an inline straight-six cylinder 3.4-litre engine housed under that long hood. The gleaming blue roadster with a large number 54 emblazoned on each side drew much attention at the rally start point in Squamish. The warming sun showed off the almost 80 other classics to their best, too. There were Alfa Romeos, many Minis circa mid-1960s, Porsches, Jags, MGs, Aston Martins – including a stunning 1934 Mk II owned by a gentleman from the same neck of the woods as George and me – plus a rare Noble M400.

We donned many layers of clothing, including leather aviator jackets and fetching, matching yellow helmets, then strapped in. George at the wheel, me by his side as his nagivator. We pulled out on the Sea to Sky highway and that journey to Whistler brought tears to my eyes, as did the rushing wind. The twisty Duffey Lake Road beyond Pemberton was no challenge for the mighty Jag. It stuck like glue to the hairiest hairpins down to Seton Lake. A rest stop at that watery stretch of tranquility brought the sounds of silence to our ears.George broke the silence: “It goes like stink, Sid.” I completed his sentence. “And stops eventually.” Recalling a recent bit of hard braking that had me worried for a while.It was then on to Cache Creek and des-ert country before climbing to the snow line towards Logan Lake where my face froze. The shower at the Kamloops hotel

brought back some colour to my cheeks.The second day would take us by Monte Lake and Falkland and on to Vernon – in the pouring, icy rain. The rains stopped as we stopped to look at a ‘car graveyard’ where rusty examples of steel steeds past caught George’s eye. “Look, Sid, my first car – a Ford Prefect.” I then misdirected us to a second graveyard near Arm-strong, populated by Sunbeams, Hillman and even old Zodiacs. He took careful note of the location so that he might return for his next restoration project.The sun peeped out as we were welcomed by the rug-ged northern end of the Okanagan Valley. We buzzed along the Lake Country lanes that run alongside Okanagan Lake, between the vineyards.

Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaver-dell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us. We weaved our way north along the valley, through wine country, to Penticton.“Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home was not.First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our faces as we descended from Manning Park. I thought I had made a significant anatomical discovery when it appeared that the icy wind blasting up my right nostril seemed to exit through my left ear. Of course, it could have been the hole in the left side of my helmet.There was one other little challenge. The panel failed so I had to peer at my handheld GPS to figure out what speed we were doing then shout at the top of my voice when George exceeded the posted limit.We made it safe and sound. “Next year, Sid?” “I’ll get back to you, George.”

Safety Tip:As the weather continues to get warmer, drivers should expect to share the road with more motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians. When turning at an intersection, use extra caution

and look out for these other road users to help keep our roads safe.

QuestionOF THE WEEK:

Driveway editor Keith Morgan writes today about how a 3-day rally along picturesque B.C. roads turned him to the idea of a B.C. summer ‘staycation’. Will you do a road trip holiday though B.C. this year, and if so where to?

You’ve got your license, you’ve got your proper gear, now all you need is your motorcycle. Here are a few things to consider before signing on the dotted line.BudgetEstablishing a budget is probably the most important thing to outline when it comes to your new ride. If you’re buying used, this is particularly important. You might be tempted to spend an extra couple of thou-sand on the bike of your dreams. But if the dream bike just happens to be a nightmare and costs you an unanticipated fortune on repairs, you might find yourself in a pickle.

New or Used?There are differing benefits to buying new or used. New bikes have warranties, but a used bike that might not be too old could still have one. Is buying either way better than the other? Not necessarily. Buying used you could get a more upscale model for your budget.Private Sale or from a Dealership?Speaking from experience, buying through a private sale can be a good way to go, especially on a budget. I found my bike on Craigslist. But if you can’t pay cash up front, dealers generally have financing or payment plan options. Private sales don’t.

Buying the right motorcycle for the right price

‘‘Establishing a budget is probably the most important thing to outline when it comes to your new ride.’’Alexandra Straub

When you head out to buy your motorcycle, Alexandra Straub advises arrive armed with a budget and stick to it.

Dealers also have most likely done a tune-up or some service in preparing the bike for the sale.

Check the VIN through ICBC or a Trusted Database It might cost you a few extra dollars to run a bike’s VIN through a trusted database but can save you multiple headaches in the end. It will show if the bike has been in any reported accidents and detail the damage. It’ll also show if there is money owing on the bike or if it was reported

stolen. Keep in mind, if the bike is from out of the country, the record likely won’t show.When I went to buy my first bike, I had my heart set on a beautiful Yamaha R6. It looked brand new and perfect. The seller said it had never been in any accidents and had all original parts. I left thinking that the next day I’d be riding this beauty home. However, I paid my $20 (at the time) and found out the bike had been in two accidents with damage costs of more than $3,000. If you’re buying through a dealership, they might even have the bike’s history on hand for you. It never hurts to double check.

The Myth of DisplacementsMany new riders like to set a cap on the cc displacement they’re willing to get for their first bike. I had a reader write me asking what he should get. He’s 6’2”, 220 pounds and had long limbs. He didn’t want anything higher than a 250cc though. I asked him why. He said he wanted something manageable for his first bike. With long arms and legs, a 250cc bike wasn’t going to fit him! Or vice versa. I told him to look at cruisers, like the Harley-Davidson Sportster, Honda Shadow, Suzuki Boulevard S40, Yamaha Bolt. They might have a higher displacement but they’re going to be

easy to manage and work much better with his body. What did he buy? A used 2006 Honda Shadow 750cc. And he loves it. I recommend buying a bike that you are comfortable on, both physically and mentally.

Test RidesPrivate sellers won’t generally let you test ride, but ask. Dealers are more open to this, especially with newer models because they have demo fleets.

Mechanical Inspection If you’re buying used, and you are this close to making the decision, before you

go to the bank and give up your sav-ings, spend an extra $100-$200 to get a motorcycle mechanic to look at your potential purchase. Private sellers will generally ride the bike down to a loca-tion of your choice and let the mechanic work their magic. The mechanic will then let you know what things might need to be worked on in the near or distant future. If the seller thinks it’s too much work, then it’s your call if you want to continue to work with them. I wouldn’t buy a bike without knowing what I’m getting into.
