City pushes tax share pitch
A JUST-RETIRED teacher has received the Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence — Canada’s highest award for K-12 teachers and educators.
Grade 5 teacher Pa-tricia Kolterman, who retired at the end of June after an education career that began in 1976 on Hai-da Gwaii, was one of 94 recipients across Canada to receive the award that has honoured outstand-ing elementary and sec-ondary school teachers since 1993.
Kolterman moved to Terrace in 1978 and taught at Uplands El-ementary, at Copper Mountain in Thornhill and then at Thornhill El-ementary.
“When I knew I was being nominated, I felt embarrassed,” said Kolt-erman last week after hearing the news.
“There are so many people you work with and you learn so much from other people. At Copper Mountain, we used to say there was no ‘I’ in team,” she said.
A citation of Kolter-man’s accomplishments
noted her “legendary long fi eld trips, gardening skills and quirky ways.”
Those fi eld trips in-cluded visits all the way down to Barkerville in the Cariboo, to the Fort St. James National His-torical Site and to the Huckleberry copper mine near Houston.
All of those trips fol-lowed the Grade 5 curric-ulum which examined the use of non-living natural resources, said Kolter-man.
“We had wonderful parents,” said Kolterman of the work that went into the trips. “They would take time off of work and help. Without the parents, I couldn’t have done it.”
One fi eld trip took stu-dents into the Nass Valley to visit the Nisga’a Li-sims Government build-ing where they toured the assembly chamber and enjoyed a luncheon.
Kolterman said par-ents also helped her in developing a school gar-den which provided food for healthy lunches for students.
“Kale chips,” she said. “They couldn’t wait to eat kale chips.”

PATRICIA KOLTERMAN has a keepsake at her home in Terrace that reminds her of the many students she’s come to know during her years as a teacher in B.C.’s northwest. The bench pictured above has on it inscriptions of student names — markings permanently left by hands that have also held pencils in Kolterman’s classroom.
Teacher honoured
By Lauren Benn
AT LEAST one provincial cabinet minister says he’s ready to come north to hear a pitch being made by the City of Terrace for a share of tax revenues expected from large industrial projects.
But Bill Bennett, whose cabinet portfolio includes communities, says he fi rst wants to read a study on the issue commissioned by the city and be convinced that an infl ux of
people and industry is putting a strain on city services.
“We’ll have to watch and see what devel-opment takes place,” said Bennett last week. “We’ll have to see how much benefi t each of the communities get from all this growth that’s going to happen and then see what the shortfall is if they’re just not able to keep up with infrastructure demands.
“Then we’ll sit down.”Bennett was one of several cabinet min-
isters lobbied by Terrace city council weeks ago at a local government convention in Vic-toria.
In broad terms, the city says it’s going to be affected by large industrial development, but because those industries are located in rural areas and are subject to only provincial taxation they can’t be taxed to pay for new or additional municipal or other local services that will be required.
The city had originally hoped to press its
point with a $15,000 study, but it was unfi n-ished when the meetings took place.
That didn’t appear to have prevented the city from making its initial revenue sharing bid, says Mayor Dave Pernarowski.
“Our ask in the meeting was to ask for them to look at the concept. How we might see it unfold,” said Pernarowski, adding each session with a cabinet minister was limited to 15 minutes.

FORMER MAYOR Jack Talstra was recognized Oct. 2 for years of service and contributions to the community of Terrace.
He received the Queen Elizabeth II Dia-mond Jubilee Medal, presented to him by Mayor Dave Pern-arowski on behalf of the Governor General of Canada.
Talstra was among 60,000 Canadians hon-oured with a diamond jubilee medal for signif-icant contributions and achievements.
More than 40 people attended the ceremony at city hall.
“Jack, this is an award that recognizes commendable service, deserving praise and admiration, that hon-ours you for your dis-tinguished service to your fellow citizens,” said Pernarowski before presenting Talstra with the medal.
“This place is amazing when it comes to people step-ping forward,” saidTalstra about receiving the medal. “They’re giving it to us here in Terrace and to the vol-unteers that do the work here throughout many
many years and many decades.”
Born in the Nether-lands, Talstra’s family fi rst lived in Houston and then Telkwa before moving to Terrace when he was in Grade Two.
Talstra attended Riv-erside School and then Skeena when it was the city’s only secondary school. Both have since been demolished.
After attending law school at the University of British Columbia, Talstra returned to Ter-race where he married Hilda. They have fi ve children and six grand-children.
Talstra served six years as a city coun-cillor and 23 years as mayor before being de-feated by Pernarowski in 2008.
After the ceremony Talstra talked about some of the city’s achievements during his time at city hall.
These include bring-ing Ferry Island into the city’s boundaries and its subsequent de-velopment, develop-ing the Grand Trunk Pathway as a millen-nium project and add-ing a second sheet of
ice to the arena now renamed the Terrace Sportsplex. “We were able to build that com-plex without a lot of lo-cal taxpayers dollars,” said Talstra.
Talstra was nominat-ed for the medal by city council.
For contributions to the community, Talstra also won the Order of Terrace award in 2009.

TWO LOCALLY elected offi cials disagree that projects leading to expanded oil tanker traffi c should be opposed by B.C. municipalities.
They also don’t think the Union of British Co-lumbia Municipalities (UBCM) should urge B.C. premier Christy Clark to use whatever powers the provincial government has to stop the expansion of oil tanker traffi c through B..C’s coastal waters.
Terrace city council-lor Brian Downie and Thornhill regional dis-trict director Ted Ram-sey voted to oppose a resolution in September at UBCM’s conven-tion in Victoria that called for both. While the resolution did pass, Ramsey and Downie were among 49 per cent of municipal elected of-fi cials that disagreed.
“Actually, I voted to oppose it and it was just the way it was worded. I opposed it simply because it needs to be thought out better,” said Ramsey.
The motion, submit-ted by the District of Saanich on Vancouver Island reads,
“Therefore be it re-solved that UBCM op-pose projects that would lead to the expansion of oil tanker traffi c through BC’s coastal waters;
“and be it further re-solved that UBCM urge the Premier of British Columbia, the Leader of the Offi cial Opposi-tion and members of the Legislative Assembly to use whatever legisla-tive and administrative means that are available to stop the expansion of oil tanker traffi c through B.C.’s coastal waters.”
Ramsey said the resolution only talked about moving oil by tankers and not neces-
sarily oil products.“...and I thought,
well, I’m not opposed to a refi nery either,” he said.
The issue isn’t go-ing away tomorrow and there’s time for dia-logue, he said.
Ramsey said he also voted knowing that the joint review panel pro-cess was ongoing and he wanted to wait to see the results of it.
“I lean [toward] the pipeline. I simply do. I’m not afraid of new and modern things. I love our part of the coast, I’ve been here 40 years but we cannot keep saying no,” said Ramsey.
“There’s too much money involved. We have a commodity we have to sell to keep ev-erything going.”
Councillor Downie also voted against the motion.
“When you look at shipping access, I think the emphasis should be on fi nding solutions to actually minimize the risk,” said Downie, add-ing that simply oppos-ing something negates the ability for conversa-tions about how to im-prove the way things are now.
“The other part of this is ... the oil fl ow from Alberta to the coast, if it’s not through B.C. then it could be through Washington State or through Alas-ka,” he said. “This does not prevent oil tanker traffi c on the coast.”
Downie made note that the resolution did not talk about the Northern Gateway proj-ect specifi cally, but the expansion of further tanker traffi c off B.C.’s entire coast.
“There’s already oil tanker traffi c coming down the coast from Alaska, there’s already
traffi c from Vancouver and Washington,” he said.
The rest of Terrace’s council present voted in favour of the motion, including mayor Dave Pernarowski and coun-
cillors Marylin Davies, James Cordeiro, Stacey Tyers and Bruce Bid-good.
“I consider it to be consistent with (coun-cil’s stance),” said Bid-good after the vote.
Nass Valley regional district director Harry Nyce wasn’t present as he had to return home for work but he said he would have voted in fa-vour of the resolution.
“I would have voted
no tankers,” he said by email.
“I commercial fi shed around Wright Sound, Squally Channel, and I could not see large ships [navigating] that part of our coast.”
Similar resolutions have been passed at UBCM before. In 2010, one was passed that op-posed the expansion of tanker traffi c and further asked for a legislative ban on bulk crude oil tanker traffi c through the Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound.
Another 2010 mo-tion said that UBCM express opposition to tar sands oil being shipped in pipelines across northern B.C. for loading onto crude oil tankers.
Both resolutions formed the base for Terrace city council’s motion to oppose En-bridge’s Northern Gate-way Pipeline project — changing council’s stance from neutral to opposed earlier this year.

Rescue meGroup works to alleviate the never-ending problem of abandoned, neglected and feral pets
By Margaret Speirs
It happens more than you’d think: pets living in the community that
have been abused, aban-doned or neglected and in need of rescue.
Thankfully, there are groups that will rescue these animals and foster them until they can be placed in a permanent, loving, adoptive home.
In 2010 and 2011, the local rescue group, the Northern Animal Res-cue Alliance, (NARA) rescued more than 400 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies.
But there are many still out there living wherever they can near businesses or residences hoping to fi nd food and shelter.
Since May 23 of this year, the two co-chairs of the group, Cam Bel-lamy and Marissa Wag-ner, have rescued 134 animals between them.
Most of those are sent to rescue groups in Vancouver, as very few are adopted here in Ter-race and area.
Rescuers are born, not madeBellamy, a self-
professed animal lover, started a chapter of the SPCA here a few years ago but it didn’t last long.
She then moved over to help out a chapter of Dogs Deserve Better, but found that since its mission was to rescue chained and penned dogs, she couldn’t res-cue cats on behalf of it so she stepped away from it.
She and Wagner be-gan NARA, although its name wasn’t made offi cial until the begin-ning of 2012.
The group now has 27 members and out of those, 10 are foster ‘parents’ to the animals that are rescued. Other members take part in raising money, publicity and other tasks.
Its missionNARA advocates for
abused, neglected and abandoned animals in the community of Ter-race and surrounding area. The mission is to
provide means to a bet-ter life for all animals that come into its care, whether that means providing rescue place-ment, short-term care and responsible rehom-ing, rehabilitation for illness and injury or pro-viding sanctuary for the old and un-adoptable.
FosteringFostering involves
looking after the ani-mals, not only feeding and sheltering them but also socializing them so they can be adopted.
Some foster homes may choose to only look after cats and kittens, or also take in dogs and puppies.
Some agree to look after animals that need medications or are so young they need to be fed every few hours.
Animals are fos-
tered until they are old enough to be put up for adoption or sent to oth-er rescue groups down south to fi nd homes for them. As of Oct. 2, 42 animals were in care.
Foster and adoptive parents fi ll out an appli-cation and are screened so they will be suitable, have a home that can socialize and care for the animals and give them their own space if needed.
NARA, which exists on money raised on its own, from fi nancial do-nations and donations of supplies, can provide carriers, kennels, food, bowls, litter, litter box-es, bedding and other items to foster homes if needed.
Before adopting ani-mals out, NARA gets them to the vet so they can be spayed/neu-
tered, vaccinated, given fl ea, worm and ear mite treatments and be mi-crochipped so they’re ready for their new owners.
Potential adoptive homes are screened too; people fi ll out an appli-cation and will be asked about letting a NARA member in for a home visit, ideally before an adoption is fi nalized.
For kittens and pup-pies, there is a set cost for adoption, which all goes back into NARA to help pay for spay/neuter, vaccinations, fl ea and other treatments and microchipping.
Adoption fees for cats and dogs are not a specifi c price but are by donation. However, NARA has an outstand-ing vet bill as adoption fees don’t cover it all.
All members of
NARA are volunteers who give of their time, selves and homes to care for the animals they take in. NARA is responsible for the ani-mals it adopts out for the rest of their lives and it’s not a responsi-bility taken lightly.
Busier than a bee
Bellamy can get as many as 10 calls a day from people concerned about a stray animal and wanting it to be helped.
Not everyone can be helped as the foster homes fi ll up quickly.
A person will call about a cat or cats and kittens living under their shed for example, and the person thinks his or her place is the only one with this problem, but they’re not.
Several cat colonies live in various areas around the city, for ex-ample.
NARA is currently working on rescuing all the cats and kittens living at the soon-to-be demolished Little Ave. barrack buildings.
About 15 have al-ready been rescued from there but as many as 20 or 25 could still be there.
The group sets out traps for them but the problem is the cats most often caught are the dominant males and not the mothers or kittens.
Ideally the group members will be able to get them all out before the buildings are demol-ished, otherwise the an-imals will have to fi nd a new place to live.
And contrary to what people think: an aban-doned cat cannot just go out and hunt for food as if it was a wild animal; it’s used to someone feeding it and will go looking for something to eat and a place that’s warm and safe.
There’s
always morePart of the reason for
the abundance of cats and kittens is that peo-ple don’t take responsi-bility and spay or neuter their pets.
A cat can come into heat for the fi rst time at about six months old and have a litter.
“Kittens can have kittens,” says Bellamy.
Many cats are preg-nant again before their current litter is weaned and the average size lit-ter is fi ve kittens, says Bellamy.
Kittens are weaned from about six to eight weeks old and often the mother will be pregnant again by the time they’re eight to 12 weeks old.
The easiest way to solve the problem is for people to get their pets spayed and neutered as soon as they’re old enough to have it done.
More foster homes are always needed.
Cats and kittens are on display at Total Pet Thursdays to Saturdays along with information about them and how to go about applying to
adopt them.NARA has its own
website, is on Facebook, and can be contacted at either by email.
Barns needed
Several cats in care currently would be per-fect barn cats as they’re not quite tame enough to be an indoor pet but still need to be fed and have shelter.
They are free and have been spayed/neu-tered and treated for fl eas and worms.
Ideally, kittens that would be good barn cats should be adopted in pairs or groups but adults can be adopted separately.
Bellamy says ideal adoptees are people who will live at that lo-cation for the life of the cat or several years and provide it with food, water and shelter from the elements.
Future goals
NARA is still a fl edgling society and just recently elected its co-chairs, secretary, treasurer and commit-tees. It’s looking to get charitable status so it can apply for grant money and issue tax receipts for donations, which is a process that takes time.
And it’s looking at setting up a board of di-rectors, which charities need.
The group wants to get into the schools and teach children about proper care and treat-ment of animals.
Bellamy says an-other idea is to get the Canadian Animal As-sistance Team here as it provides free spay and neuter services.
Plans are underway for events such as a Halloween dance, pet photos with Santa, an online auction, garage sale, pub night, barbe-cues and more. Bottle drives are ongoing. And donations of pet sup-plies are always needed and appreciated.
Margaret Speirs is a self-professed animal lover and new member of NARA.

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988
THE JUST-RELEASED study of how northeastern BC is coping with its oil and gas fueled economic boom could be boiled down to a four-word slogan you might fi nd on a t-shirt—“been there, done that.”
And that’s what turns the study into essential reading material for the northwest because we’ve never been there and done that when it comes to sudden and large economic growth.
Formally called “Lessons from Economic Upswings: A Case Study of the Peace River Region” the doc-ument is based on interviews of key players and discovers what worked and what didn’t work, and why, when people, money and industry fl ooded the northeast. The study’s sponsors – Kitimat-Terrace Industrial Develop-ment society, the Terrace Economic Development Authority and the Dis-trict of Kitimat – quite rightly decid-ed it was far better to get in front of what might happen here than to be swept away once it all starts.
The crucial points raised by those from the northeast? Organizations and people need to communicate as early as possible and as much as pos-sible. And as much coordination as possible is needed to avoid duplica-tion of effort.
Put another way, communication and coordination translates into re-gional cooperation.
That might be a tall order for a re-gion such as ours with multiple lev-els of government. But it’s not an excuse for not trying because there is really no alternative.

Am I the only tax-payer weary of seniors’ eternal kvetching?
Browse any newspaper and you’re apt to read an ar-ticle demanding more com-munity support for seniors. Seniors have never been shy about letting governments know what would make them happier, more comfortable, physically more secure.
Some cities even pretend to seek their input through committees whose sole man-date is to funnel seniors’ thoughts directly to council.
What a ruse.The B.C. Ombudsperson
reported last year that the number of publicly subsi-dized residential care beds increased by 3.4 per cent be-tween 2002 and 2010. Mean-while, the over-80 population increased by 34 per cent. Does this funding gap make our society look sincere about supporting seniors?
Typically their leading complaint is the scarcity of affordable housing. Logical-ly, the law of supply and de-mand ought to be a solution. In other words, if you’re un-able or unwilling to increase the supply of affordable hous-ing, shrink the demand.
And how to shrink the de-mand? Easy. Chip away those amenities that lead seniors to assume your community welcomes them. Folks don’t hang around where they’re not wanted. Better yet, to dissuade them from moving here in the fi rst place particu-larly if their main motivation for relocating late in life is to be close to grandchildren.
If you’re unsure where to apply your chisel, read the typical list of characteristics that make for a senior-friend-ly city, then work at down-grading categories where the city scores highest.
Many seniors want to live independently as long
as they are physically able, near friends so they can visit without driving; within walk-ing distance of amenities like library, church, and doctors’ offi ces. They seek ploughed and sanded sidewalks and parking lots, and businesses with doorways wide enough to accommodate electric wheelchairs.
Those who own dogs would choose to live handy to a park where they could stroll with their pets. Snort in derision if you must, but never underestimate the im-portance of a pet in a senior’s life. Lax leash laws are a turnoff for all, whether or not they struggle with mobility problems. For nothing enliv-ens a senior’s constitutional quite as thoroughly as trying to maintain balance while ankles are wound in leash by their pooch dodging the fangs of some attacking canine too precious to be regulated by any control by-law.
To put the brakes on new retirees moving into town to be closer to grandchildren, move aggressively to root out the in-between generation. Do that by reducing local em-ployment, fi rst discouraging investment and the approval of major projects in the area.
Employment opportunities would dwindle. When jobs dry up, families drift away taking their kids and future grandparent retirement prob-lems with them.
Unfortunately, the results of this measure might not be evident for 20 years or more.
Turn a deaf ear; why pre-tend to listen? If council eliminated its senior com-mittee, presto, no more pesky demands.
Ignore calls to repair pot-holes and sand icy parking lots. Let those who live in-dependently shovel their own snowy walkways. Plow their driveways full of snow the minute they fi nish shoveling. Seniors would have to be dense not to catch council’s drift.
No single one of these measures would signifi cantly reduce the infl ux of housing-hungry seniors immediately. Measures this drastic should have been instituted years ago. But now you can only go forward from where you are.
For a quicker, decisive re-duction, offer each senior a free one-way January ferry trip along a scenic route to Anchorage and abandon them on an ice fl oe. It solved the Eskimos’ elder problems.
Save us from cranky senior citizens
The Mail Bag
Some people must wonder why I use the name of S. Sands on my paintings.
The reason is because I’m a fourth generation Sands painter, starting with my Great Grandfather, who did a lovely wa-tercolour of a lady standing under Bolten Abbey in England. I still have it, old frame and all.
The painting bug hit me when I was 16. I then asked my father, “Daddy can you show me how to paint the red refl ections from a red-light district? I don’t want the light showing, just the refl ections on the street and buildings.”
I was amazed when he took it all in calm stride and got out his paintbrush. He dipped his brush into some reddish paint and in no time I had my red light dis-trict, with an old man trudging along the dark street with his coat wrapped around his ears.
As an aside, I’d like to men-tion that in later years, my father won many silver spoons for the wondrous charcoals he submitted
to the PNE in Vancouver. Also, his collection of 30 years of po-etry now resides in the University of Victoria. He was considered one of Vancouver Island’s best poets.
Oh yes, and we have a four-and-a-half-year-old, who is giving her Grandmother one watercolour after another. Music is more in-clined to run on my Mother’s side.
I had fallen in love with the Impressionists, especially van Gogh.
Later, with three children, I made a trip with my husband to Dawson City, then over the sum-mit to a place called Granville where only 12 families lived and the clanging of gold dredges out on the tailings never quit.
The strange bug hit again. I had been reading about Jack-son Pollack and some hard-edge painters in the States I thought, “I can do that!”
There was going to be an art show in Dawson. So I got out an
entire sheet of plywood (canvases were not easily had) and began to paint the “Crucifi xion,” using triangles, rectangles, and every angle imaginable.
Somehow I managed to con-vey Christ on the cross with the two thieves beside him.
This was all in blacks, greys, and white. I doubt if I could do
it again. The viewers in Dawson were
very polite and asked me many questions about the painting.
Surely, they must have thought I was mad or becoming a bit iso-lated. There was one other paint-ing but we won’t go into that.
Then because there wasn’t a school for my oldest son, and the gold dredges were about to shut down, I fl ed to the south and even-tually wound up living in the Ter-race.
It wasn’t long before the paint-ing bug was on my trail again.
Only this time it took a some-what lopsided abstract pathway.
I was painting with everything including broken windshield glass!
But, amazingly, I sold 22 paintings over a two-year period, including six sardine cans!
Those were the days when Wally Humphrey, and some of our best artists, gave us the benefi t of their opinion of all our paint-ings submitted and displayed in
the arts and crafts shows.Wally told me he thought one
of my watercolours was the best he’d ever seen, but on the other hand, he said my one nude was too strident. I’m sure he realized it was of me!
We all got a shock at the quali-ty of Anne Marie Nehring’s paint-ings. They were a real eye-open-er, especially her portraits. So we have had some terrifi c painters in Terrace.
I’d like to mention Susann Wil-liamson at the new Mountainside Gallery, near the four-way stop as you turn to go towards Kitimat.
Just look up at the left to see the Mountainside Gallery. She has done an amazing job of set-ting up the paintings of artists, both good and far-out.
The second time she arranged the paintings, I was really im-pressed! She also makes stained glass windows.

We’ve heardit all beforeDear Sir:
Well here we are just a few seasons from a provincial election and few of us know who’s what and what’s who.
Christy Clark has been keeping such a low profi le does she even have a profi le? And some guy is supposed to be leading the NDP, you know, what’s his name — does he even have one?
These useless politicians keep talk-ing about a mythical northern gateway but back in the 1960s Yellowhead 16 was the Northern Gateway. Back in the ‘60s Premier WAC Bennett had a plan but nobody has a plan today that is environmentally sound or isn’t full of hubris in a quick buck scheme for the insiders.
All the BC Liberals did was dis-mantle our downtown mill and re-place our woods industry for Alberta oil sludge and terrorism for the envi-ronment. The mill, of which I speak, I used to walk home through from high school. There was a whole section of town from Kalum St. to Kenney St. that provided by-products from log-ging when Terrace was the future, now it’s only the past.
The BC Liberals recently polled me about Christy Clark and had the audacity to ask me if I knew what a pulp mill was. I mentioned Eurocan and then they got into the pension increase shell game, suggesting that hollow service increases were the way to go when it’s harder and harder
to even have enough to buy groceries. “What do you want,” asked the dumb guy repeatedly. “Well,” said I, “I’d like to have money to buy more than just food. Man does not live by bread alone, eh?” He sounded like one of those outsourced poll takers.
Pollsters offer people a whole $25 for answering questions but that’s an-other shell game. You have to join a focus group or you don’t get the bucks [how many disabled people can jump to it and dash down to a room some-where I don’t know] and they certain-ly don’t offer limousine service.
Again he didn’t know what I was talking about. “What’s your problem,” he said in a sarcastic, heavy accent. These are the games politicians play. After all, they live off the fat of the land with silly proposals that failed 35 years ago when the insiders promised they would be back when our local economy fell apart, and they would be accepted for such plans.
Back in the days of Pierre Trudeau and Iona Campagnolo the so-called Northern Gateway pipeline com-pletely failed for obvious reasons. Now they think they have us over an oil barrel and we no longer have a choice.
And I have friends, who like me, have lived here for sixty-plus years and remember the controversy back then.

Dear Sir:Enbridge’s most re-
cent promotional adver-tisement for Northern Gateway is both duplic-itous and incompetent, though so subtly that few might notice.
The ad’s most impor-tant element is not the open question of how much benefi t the project might deliver. Enbridge is trying to sell Gate-way, so they will spin like a mad Maytag.
Enbridge’s spin doc-tors are cagey with the repeated and incorrect use of “will” in the titles for the various claims of possible benefi t: “New jobs will be created”, “Local communities will have a brighter fu-ture”, and so on.
To use “will” means that the project has al-ready been approved; since it has not been, the correct verb is “would”.
Small difference,
you might say. But such choice subtly infl uences psychology and belief. State that it is so, and people will believe.
The incorrect use al-lows Enbridge to gloss over the far greater number of safer and better jobs that would be created were the bi-tumen refi ned in the al-ready ruined oil sands lands.
Worse, “brighter fu-ture” whitewashes —
blackwashes? — the risk to communities on the route and the coast, and the bleak future ev-erywhere from global warming.
Enbridge, if asked, would deny global warming. To accept it would require reconsid-eration of the whole cra-zy oil sands bonanza.
No money for them in that.Dr. David Heinimann,

Dear Sir:Mark Twain is cred-
ited with the quote, ”There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”
Never is this truer than in the case of Da-vid Black’s revelation
that his pipeline pro-posal has received a cer-tain degree of approval throughout B.C. Appar-ently his staffers made random phone calls over a specifi c time and pulled a 65 per cent ap-proval rating in northern
B.C. from the results.There was a time
when polls were per-formed using sound statistical rules. Any-one who has struggled through a statistics course in high school or college math knows
that there are solid rules to be followed and even then, a margin of error must be reported.
David Black did not follow these accepted procedures and there-fore his results are as ridiculous as his pro-
posal.Last week, our
household had a call from a person asking us if we would participate in a survey regarding Enbridge and oil devel-opment. This person did not identify who they
were working for and when pressed for infor-mation on regarding the polling fi rm they repre-sented, quickly ended the call. We don’t know if this was the David Black pollster but we also don’t know if it
wasn’t.But if this is how Da-
vid Black conducts his information gathering, I shudder to think how he will manage his pet oil refi nery.

One in five children has a vision disorder
Once in 6 children diagnosed with a learning disabil-
ity have correctable vision problems
Good vision and eye health are critical to a child's
development. It is up to parents, doctors, nurses, and
teachers to ensure that vision disorders if they exist are
detected and treated as early as possible. Most chil-
dren are unable to communicate their problems and can
accept their vision disorders as the norm and even learn
to compensate for them. Unfortunately, by the time they
are seen by a doctor, many serious long term affects
already set in. For this reason, most campaigns of aware-
ness call for preschool and kindergarten children to have
their eye’s examined and children to be checked each year.
Getting your children examined by an optometrist is dif-
ferent than a school screening. As early as 6 months at
our clinics we check infant eyes for eye muscle alignments/
strabismus, congenital or birth defects like cataracts, lazy
eyes or amblyopia and focusing disorders. By the age of
3 children are usually able to do a full eye exam and have
their vision checked on charts that do not require children to
know their letters, have their depth perception, color vision
along with over-all eye health examined. Remember, pre-
vention of disorders is the goal in medicine; but if needed
early diagnosis and treatment leads to best health out-
comes. The eyes are no different. With eye exercises
and vision training, many muscle imbalances can be treat-
ed, hopefully preventing reading and writing problems and
depth perception issues. Lazy eyes can be treated with
drops or patching and exercises with best results before
the age of 7. If not treated in childhood, the nerve defect
lasts forever, resulting in lazy eyes, and can even prevent
vision from any further development.
EYE EXAMS FOR CHILDREN A BACK TO SCHOOL ESSENTIAL!

Dear Sir:With all these so called megaprojects slated for
the northwest, First Nations people should be po-sitioning themselves for the thousands of jobs that should result.
It seems to me that getting First Nations people into the workforce here in the northwest does not seem to be fi rst on the government’s priority list, but spending millions of dollars on training them with little to show doesn’t seem to bother them either.
There are numerous funding agencies and training facilities that are vying for educational funding here in the northwest with a particu-lar emphasis on First Nations. Their poor records speak for themselves – how many First Nations people have successfully completed pro-grams that are actually employed in the area due to this training and, in addition, making enough to support their fami-lies.
Let our community college (which caters to First Nations enrolments) and other training providers show you their success rates (students completing the programs or else getting employment after their training). The low numbers (if they would provide them) would surprise you.
As a past instructor in the trades, I came to re-alize that many complex issues are involved and may need to be overcome in the success of a First Nations person. Understanding these complexities needs to be addressed and understood by govern-ment, funding agencies, training providers and the prospective bands that may sponsor the student.
Whining to the government for more handouts to the tune of millions of dollars will not solve the
problem, but better management and accountability might help a little.
My experience has been that these various play-ers for millions of dollars a year from government educational programs are all somewhat disconnect-ed from one another and fail miserably in commu-nicating and helping in the students’ success.
The “same old same old” methods have become a ongoing cash cow for all concerned and only ben-
efi ts them by keeping them employed and padding their wallets without re-ally helping the First Nations person at all.
I recently spent several months talking to various First Nations peo-ple as well as the funding agencies, training providers, past instructors, and band leaders before coming to this conclusion.
There has got to be some account-ability for the dollars spent on First
Nations education with some feedback mechanism to assure that there are bona fi de positive results.
The positive results would come in the form of getting First Nations people employed in the vari-ous areas that they are trained in within the north-west. This would probably require a person that has some autonomous authority to act as a liaison be-tween government, the funding agencies, the train-ing providers, the different bands, the prospective student and potential employers in the area.
The person would work with all concerned par-ties but this person’s sole interest would be for the success of the student.
It would require following the process from the desire to be trained to actually fi nding a job with a potential employer in the area.

Teen diesNEW HAZELTON RCMP are investigating after a teen died from injuries suffered in a motor vehicle incident involving a pedestrian at Gitanyow, west of New Hazelton at 5:20 a.m. Sept. 29.
The 18-year-old victim, who was from Gitanyow, was trans-
ported to the Vancouver General Hospital via air ambulance where he later succumbed to his injuries, said police.
Police arrested a 22-year-old male driver, also from Gitanyow, for impaired driving.
The matter remains under investigation by the the RCMP’s West Pacifi c Region Traffi c Services section.
Collision and recon-struction analysts are also involved in the in-vestigation.

jailed 26 people that weekend for public in-toxication.
Wrong carPOLICE attended a res-idence on Walsh Ave for two heavily intoxicated females, the weekend of Sept. 28-Oct. 1.

Hoax closes collegeRCMP CONTINUE their investigation into the bomb threat hoax that shut down Northwest Community College’s (NWCC) campus Oct. 2.
Students, employees and instructors fl ooded out of the campus the morning of Oct. 2 and RCMP sealed off the area until a specially-trained explosives-sniff-ing police dog fi nished a sweep of buildings and property that evening.
As many as 450 peo-ple were affected by the evacuation, said NWCC offi cial Phil Saunders.
Included in those forced to leave the cam-pus were 76 dorm stu-dents who were then offered space at the Seventh Day Adventist Church across the road
from the college.“Our fi rst priority is
always the safety of our students, staff and fac-ulty and our response to this threat was congru-ent with that priority,” said Saunders.
Inspector Dana Hart, the commanding offi cer of the Terrace RCMP detachment said ap-proximately 20 police offi cers were at the lo-cation at one time or another.
“... From the re-sources deployed by the RCMP, the college, fi re, EHS [emergency health services] and others, you can imagine how costly this incident has been,” commented Hart on the effort that went into the situation after the threat was received.
Six RCMP mem-
bers from Terrace were called in on overtime on their days off and a number of administra-tive offi cers at the de-tachment here were also involved, he said.
The campus was ful-ly re-opened by approx-imately 8:30 p.m. Oct. 2 once the specially-trained explosives de-tection dog from Prince George had completed its work.
Hart said he could not elaborate on the kind of investigatory work going into deter-mining who had sent the bomb threat which was received via email.
Saunders said the college was cooperating with the RCMP.
“We are optimistic that we can narrow the range of possibilities
soon and ideally have charges laid,” he said.
“We intend to fi nd out who did this, why and avail ourselves to all options with regard to punishment,” he con-tinued.
An exact dollar cost of the hoax would be hard to determine, add-ed Saunders, but he said the fi gure would be sig-nifi cant.
College offi cials worked out of space provided by the Univer-sity of Northern British Columbia at its Terrace campus during the clo-sure of their own facili-ties.

BUSINESS REVIEWMajor player in concrete materials locates hereA MAJOR player in the global construction materials industry has chosen Terrace for its newest location.
Lafarge, a France-based company with North American manu-facturing plants, has been eyeing B.C.’s northwestern region as a hot spot for expansion.
The company started leasing land most re-cently used by local log-ging company Timber Baron Contracting Ltd. this July on the 4800 Block of Keith Ave. just west of the Sande Over-pass.
The property backs onto CN’s rail lines run-ning through Terrace, making it a convenient location to transfer ma-terial to trucks from rail cars.
“Obviously you see all the work and boom that’s happening and so we picked Terrace be-cause it’s a central lo-cation,” said Lefarge’s sales manager for B.C.’s coastal district Cory Cannon, noting the company’s been eyeing
activity in Kitimat and Prince Rupert.
Products like cement and fl y ash, both used in the making of concrete, will be shipped up by rail from Lafarge cement facilities in Richmond B.C. or Kamloops and then trucked to various customers in the region, said Cannon.
“We’re just starting slow and building our position,” said Cannon.
“We’re trying to tap into the growth that’s all through the northwest B.C. area. The hope is that we grow with the area.”
Lafarge is keep-ing mum about who its customers are in the northwest, although Seattle-based opera-tions manager Jonathan Hall said the company has one long-standing customer here it will
continue to serve and is developing other signifi -cant business interests.
“Depending on where business goes we’re ready to invest more (in the area),” said Hall.
The land is being leased from Garry Roth in the North Coast In-dustrial Park. It once was the location of the Terrace Lumber Com-pany sawmill and stor-age area.

THE NEW Lafarge site is located on the grounds of the former Terrace Lumber Company sawmill. Timber Baron Contracting Ltd. had its log yard at the location until early this summer.

Housing market’s good for buyers and sellersBy Staff Writer
THE LOCAL real estate market is in an almost perfect place for both sellers and buyers, says a local agent.
“Prices are going up steadily for sellers but for buyers, espe-cially fi rst time buyers, they aren’t going up so rapidly that those buy-ers will often pull back,” said John Evans from ReMax.
“Prices are still low here com-pared to other parts of the prov-ince. For $200,000 you can still buy a three-bedroom house with a full basement and it might even have a carport or garage. Albeit it may be an older home and it might need a roof or a new furnace, but you will get into the market.”
Evans’s comments follow the release last week of real estate sales fi gures showing an increase in activity this year over last year.
In the fi rst nine months of the year, 248 proper-ties worth $52.1 million were reported sold in the Terrace area, compared to 219 properties worth
$41.5 million during the same period last year, reported the BC Northern Real Estate Board.
Half of the 148 single family homes that have sold so far this year, sold for less than $213,000 and these homes took, on average, 67 days to sell.
Also changing hands were 21 parcels of vacant land, 6 multi-family dwellings, 24 homes on acreage, 20 manufactured homes in parks and 10 manufac-tured homes on land.
At the end of September there were 254 properties of all types available through the MLS service in the Terrace area.
“What we’re seeing is good solid steady growth,” said Evans.
He was also happy with the de-cline in the number of days it takes, on average, for a house to sell.
“If you look at 2009, it was in the 120 day range,” said Evans. “In a really, really hot market the aver-age would be around 30.
To compare activity with previ-ous years, the real estate board, for the fi rst nine months of 2009, says
123 residential detached houses sold in the Terrace area at an aver-age price of $197,625.
For the same period in 2010 the average price was $202,856 on 95 houses sold while 125 houses sold for the same period in 2011 at an average price of $218,120.
For the fi rst nine months of 2012, the 148 houses sold in Ter-race brought an average price of $219,242.
In Kitimat, 212 properties worth $35.1 million have changed hands in the fi rst nine months of 2012, compared to 133 properties worth $18.6 million to September 30th of 2011.
Of the 114 single family homes sold so far this year in Kitimat, half sold for less than $162,000. These homes took, on average 57 days to sell. In addition, 14 parcels of vacant land, 48 half duplexes and 19 townhomes were also sold this year.
At the end of September there were 106 properties of all types available through the MLS listing service in the Kitimat area.

Credit Union Day
STAFF PHOTO
Sign along ■A PERFECT early fall evening in the area set the stage for a gathering of Sparks, Brownies and Girl Guides in Thornhill. Evening weekly sessions in Thornhill and Terrace schools are now underway, which also means the return of chocolate-mint cookies.
A GAP in medical services has now been fi lled with the arrival of Dr. Ivan Jardine who opened an ear, nose and throat practice here last week.
From South Africa, Jardine fi lls a spot left vacant when Dr. Lodewyk DeJager moved to Vancouver Island several years ago.
Arranging for the arrival of Jardine went fairly quickly after he applied to come to the northwest, says Dr. Geoff Appleton, the Northern Health Au-thority’s medical director for the re-gion.
“His offi ce is in the old credit union building,” added Appleton be-cause there’s no suitable space in the medical complex on Park Ave.
Once Jardine is settled in, there’s a possibility he’ll offer outreach servic-es in Kitimat or even Prince Rupert, Appelton said.
“Kitimat certainly has expressed an interest in having him do some clinics or perhaps even a bit of surgery and Prince Rupert has said it could use more [ear, nose and throat services],” he said. “A lot of that will be up to Dr. Jardine as he gets established.”
Although Terrace and area was able to secure the services of a visit-ing ear, nose and throat specialist, Dr. Heitham Gheriani, after DeJager left, there is a backlog of referrals and sur-geries, warned Appleton.
“It’s signifi cant. It’s going to take awhile to get through those,” he said.
As for other medical matters, Ap-
pleton said Terrace could use a few more general practitioners but that the situation is far from the crisis level being experienced in other rural and remote areas.
“Kitimat could use some more, Hazelton is struggling, Prince Ru-pert’s OK and Smithers is just fi ne,” he said.
And there is a need for more psy-chiatrists in Terrace in that Mills Me-morial Hospital contains a psychiatric unit used by the area.
One encouraging sign is the inter-est being show in living and working here by UNBC/UBC medical school graduates.
“I’d say we’ve had what I would call half-nibbles,” said Appleton.
“We’ve had people interested in doing locums here and that’s usually a very good sign. We’re hoping these will turn into full nibbles,” he added.
The expectation that people trained in the north would stay in the north was one of the foundation reasons for establishing a UBC satellite medical school at the Prince George UNBC campus in the fi rst place.
In addition, northern hospitals have also served as training centres for medical students and those who have received medical degrees but are not yet fully certifi ed.
Mills Memorial in Terrace, for ex-ample, can take up to four third-year medical students, two fi rst-year resi-dents and two second-year residents.

Art fuses RCMP crest with traditionARTWORK TO be unveiled this Friday at the Lisims/Nass Valley RCMP detachment in New Aiyansh symbolizes the growth of the relationship between the police force and the Nisga’a Nation, says the offi cer in charge of the detachment.
“To have a revered local artist create this stunning piece of art-work for our RCMP detachment is a tremen-dous gesture,” wrote Sgt. Donovan Tait in an email explaining the signifi cance of the art-work by Brad Percival.
He described the artwork, by Brad Per-cival, as a “unique fusion of the RCMP crest incorporating our Nisga’a symbols based on the principle of Sayt-K’ilim-Goot (Working Together in Unity).
The ceremony takes place at 3 p.m. Oct. 12 at the detachment and will include a blessing.
Dr. Joseph Gosnell,
who was the presi-dent of the Nisga’a Tribal Council in the years leading up to the Nisga’a treaty imple-mentation in 2000 and president of the Nisga’a Nation afterward, will be the guest speaker.
In a briefi ng given to Nisga’a Lisims Gov-ernment offi cials last month, Tait spoke of the artwork’s practical and symbolic importance.
“Demystifying our building, our offi cers and our intentions in
the work that we do is a crucial step towards a fully integrated police service for the Nation,” said Tait.
“We are your part-ners, your neighbours and your friends. By culturally formalizing
our relationship pub-licly for all to see, it is hoped that this modest event will demonstrate the RCMP’s commit-ment to the Nisga’a Na-tion in many capacities.
“This artwork will act as a reminder to
all who visit and work in our building of our willingness to commu-nicate and cooperate as we—RCMP & Nisga’a Nation — move for-ward together in unity,” Tait added to Lisims government offi cials.
Police investigate alleged abductionTHREE PEOPLE face charges after a person was allegedly abducted earlier last week.
Witnesses reported seeing a person being placed in the trunk of a small white car in the 4700 block of Davis Ave. at about 11:45 a.m. Tuesday Oct. 2, said Terrace RCMP.
An 18-year-old woman and three men in their 20s were all taken into custody, af-ter offi cers found the vehicle on Hwy16, ap-proximately 10 km west of Terrace, said police.
The female driver was found to be under the infl uence of alco-hol and was issued a 90 day immediate roadside prohibition, while the three men are all facing charges for breaching court ordered condi-tions, said police.
The alleged victim was located at a resi-dence unharmed but was uncooperative, reported police, who continue to investigate.
Anyone with infor-mation on this incident can contact the detach-ment at 250-638-7400 or if you would like to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- TIPS (8477).

Secondary suites now allowed in all homesPEOPLE WHO want to put a secondary suite in single-family residences will soon be able to do so, city council decided last night in adopting a by-law.
In the past, second-ary suites were allowed in residences zoned R2, which also permits du-plexes, but weren’t for those zoned as R1, or single family homes.
A number of years ago, secondary suites already in existence in homes built prior to 1991 were grandfa-thered in as they were and weren’t subject to inspection, said city planner David Block.
There are some suites in homes zoned R1 that aren’t legal and some in R2 that didn’t
have a permit issued for them, and while the bylaw won’t totally re-place the older policy, it will hopefully encour-age owners of suites in the R1 zone to come in and get a permit now, Block said.
The bylaw will allow new secondary suites to be installed in R1 zone homes, he said.
“A few were done on the sly, we know that. A few slipped in in the R1 zone,” said Block, refer-ring to suites that were put in quietly.
“Defi nitely a few people have asked in the last few years ... and we had someone interested in building a new home next spring and wants to build a suite in it ask to apply for this to make a
bylaw amendment.”Part of the sustain-
able strategy and the Offi cial Community Plan housing policy now recommends that the city allow secondary suites and that had been recommended from the 2009 housing study.
Lots of consulta-tion has been done with community members who have supported it, Block added.
Adding a secondary suite to a basement could enhance the home’s val-ue and therefore affect the homeowner’s taxes, he said.
Another direct impli-cation is that a second-ary suite would mean a doubling of water, sew-er and garbage taxes.
In future, the city could allow carriage houses, a dwelling out-side the principle dwell-ing place, and perhaps recommend options on how to reduce the sewer and other charges, such as a one-and-a-half rate, in those circumstances, said Block.

TWO people were injured in a single-vehicle ac-cident near Lava Lake the early afternoon of Oct. 4 approximately 80km north of Terrace on Hwy113, report Nass Valley RCMP.
They were driving northbound on their way to New Aiyansh when their vehicle, a GMC Subur-ban, left the roadway and drove into the rocky ter-rain of a lava bed. The vehicle came to rest amongst
large boulders just a few feet away from a steep drop off.
The 54-year-old female driver and her 44-year-pld passenger, also a woman, suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries.
The driver was taken to Mills Memorial Hospi-tal and due to the seriousness of her injuries, the passenger was fl own to Vancouver B.C.

Community Information Session The Gateway pipeline route has already seen a decade of planning and testing, and thousands of hours of work, to ensure maximum safety and minimal environmental disturbance. And I’m proud to tell you that the work isn’t fi nished yet.
First of all, I want to set the record straight on recent claims that the Gateway pipeline runs through the Great Bear Rain Forest on British Columbia’s coast — they are categorically false. As it happens, our team of engineers has taken great pains to ensure that the proposed pipeline route is almost entirely made up of pre-existing corridors of activity — such as logging roads, forestry roads, cut lines, or other “pre-disturbed” areas — to reduce its footprint as much as possible.
Our engineers, and experts familiar with B.C.’s terrain, have also spent years using the most advanced technology available to identify the potential for geohazards — landslides, rock fall, avalanches, seismic issues, and marine clays. As a result, we’ve worked hard to minimize the risk, and ensure the safest pipeline route possible, with extra measures such as deeper pipe burial, tunnels, and special pipe design.
Our engineering team is constantly refi ning the Gateway pipeline route. Years ago we started with Route A, and nearly two dozen route amendments later, we’re working on Route V. Many of those changes have come, and others will come, as a result of working with environmental groups, Aboriginal communities, and government agencies.
Along the entire length of the pipeline in B.C., we’ll minimize impact to sensitive fi sh and animal habitat, reclaim the right-of-way for wildlife, and strictly control and manage access.
Safety, and respect for the environment, have been our primary considerations in charting the Gateway pipeline route over the past 10 years. And that’s not about to change.

It’s more than a pipeline. It’s a path to delivering energy safely.
City’s road repair projectsare nearing the fi nish lineWHAT WAS once one of the worst road surfaces in the City of Terrace is about to become one of the best.
The 4500 Block of Scott Ave., east of Ka-lum in the horseshoe, has been the scene of major construction since late summer.
Even the surface of gravel and crush, now awaiting paving, is much better than what has been there for years.
Underneath the sur-face lies brand new in-frastructure including a water main which is being tested this week prior to hookup.
Work is slated to be fi nished in the com-ing weeks with colder weather fast approach-ing.
“We’re trying to, by the end of this week, tie in all of the water main, putting it into ser-vice and starting to get in on the road work,” said City of Terrace roads foreman Henry
Craveiro.“Once we get it
pressure tested, get wa-ter samples, then we put it into service and abandon the old (water main).”
Old water mains are left to sit beneath the road’s surface, ex-plained Craveiro, as the old main supplies water to neighbouring build-ings right up until the point the new one takes over.
“We ... pull out the services and just aban-don it in the ground,” he said of the old water main.
Other below-ground infrastructure worked on includes drainage pipes and repairs to the existing sewer line, said Craveiro.
Still to come is add-ing crush and road base material before Terrace Paving arrives to apply asphalt.
No date is set yet for that work to be done, said Craveiro.
The Scott. Ave re-
build project had a $395,000 budget, ac-counting for a slice of the total city roadwork budget for 2012 this year.
This year featured a fast-forward approach to roadwork, meaning budgeted projects from years to come were placed in 2012’s lineup.
Work done on Sparks St. from Lakelse Ave. to Lazelle Ave was initial-ly slated to happen in 2016 but was grouped in with the milling and paving of Lakelse Ave. from Eby to Emmerson St. and Kalum St. from Lakelse to Park Ave. this summer.
The city took Agar Ave. from Molitor to Braun St. from 2015’s roads plan.
The road was pulver-ized and repaved earlier this summer.
McConnell Ave. from Hwy113 to Mar-shall St. was pulled from 2013, completed this year as well.
In total, city council
budgeted $2.5 million for roadwork includ-ing pavement overlays, patching, rebuilds and other road infrastructure replacement or repairs.
Last year, the city undertook $2.8 million in roadwork which in-cluded two major re-builds on Davis Ave. and McConnell Ave.
While the fi nal spending tally was higher in 2011 with 1.2km of road paved in total, more kilometres of road were worked on this year at 4.5 km.
“Keep in mind that downtown streets are twice as wide as a nor-mal road in town,” said Craveiro, adding that in 2011 more was spent because of two total rebuilds which include infrastructure costs.
“(2012 has) been one of the busiest years and I’ve been here for a long time,” said Craveiro.
Both years are an example of the city’s fast-track roads plan in action, with both nearly
doubing what was spent in the two years prior.
The year 2010 saw about $1 million spent rebuilding three roads in Terrace — the 4700 block of Davis Ave., the 4900 block of Lazelle Ave., and the 4900 block of Scott Ave.
That’s not as much as was spent in 2009, which saw $1.5 million spent redoing Cramer St., the 4600 block of Lazelle Ave., and the 4600 block of Loen Ave.
Next year is expect-ed to bring with it an-other full plate for the city’s roads department although which roads will be done has yet to be decided.
The city will fi nalize projects for next year when it sets its 2013 budget priorities later this year.

Busy September at local airportONCE AGAIN, the number of passengers at the Northwest Regional Airport have hit records with September 2012 being the busiest September the airport’s ever seen.
The month saw 12,700 passengers fl y either to or from Terrace making it the second busiest month this year, topped by August which saw 13,808 passengers through the doors.
As of last month’s end, this year’s passenger count clocked in at 103,741 — keeping steady the trend of increased traffi c compared to for-mer years.
Airport offi cials say the number of people who take passenger fl ights to and from the airport may decrease over the next few months, but will pick back up again.
“August is usually our peak travel time and then (numbers) start wan-ing,” said airport manager Carman Hendry. “Then it goes down until January and then it starts to progress back up again.”
October’s start marked a 16 per cent increase in traffi c compared to last fi scal year and a 15 per cent in-crease for the calendar year, Hendry continued.
September 2011 saw 11,291 pas-sengers, meaning a 12.5 per cent climb in traffi c for September 2012.
Hendry said the increase in con-struction and industrial-project-relat-ed workers travelling here and back again have been keeping numbers up.
“There is an awful lot of con-struction workers coming through, a lot of business people that are related to the Rio Tinto modern-ization project and the hydro project and the Forest Kerr project,” he said. “I’ve heard rumours from the airlines that their load factors are doing quite well.”
Nevertheless, Air Canada is plan-ning to drop its fi rst and last fl ights of the day by October’s end, he said.
“But, they will increase fl ights dur-ing the day if they need,” he said.

Ask Vern Sampson about his culinary career work-ing in the minerals and mining sector and you can’t help but smile. Vern began his career on the Ga-lore Creek Project; today, he’s the head chef and rst aid attendant at Seabridge Gold’s KSM Project camp, where he’s worked for the past three years. He’s employed by Spatsizi Remote Services Cor-poration (SRSC), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Tahltan Nation Development Corporation (TNDC) that provides catering and camp operation services at remote industrial sites. SRSC is a TNDC joint ven-ture with Sodexo, an international food and facilities management company.
“I’ve been cooking in camps for six years now, and intend to continue until someday down the road I open my own restaurant in Hazelton, where I was born and raised,” says Vern. “I enjoy this work because I get satisfaction from seeing others enjoy my food. No matter how hard my day is, it makes it all worthwhile to hear the crew say thank you for the good meal.”
Vern completed two years of culinary training at Northwest Community College in Terrace in 2007 and in 2010, became Red Seal-certi ed. A typical day for Vern at the KSM Camp begins early with the daily baking. He then prepares lunch for the people working in camp – including the main-tenance guys, core cutters, pilots, engineers and of ce staff – and starts preparing for the evening meal. When he’s not cooking or baking, he’s organ-izing weekly menus and grocery orders. “I have to be careful not to forget anything because we’re in the middle of nowhere and it’s extremely dif cult and expensive to y our food in.”
Edward Van Mierlo is the Chief Operating Of cer of SRSC. “Communication skills, a great attitude, a willingness to learn, and commitment are skills and attributes we look for in SRSC employees,” says Edward. “When we hire for smaller exploration and
development camps, like Seabridge’s KSM Camp, we’re looking for versatile individuals with expertise in many different areas. We also look for people with the potential to grow.”
Edward knows a thing or two about career growth. He used to be a camp chef at the now-closed Eskay Creek Mine, before accepting a job with TNDC in 2005 to manage SRSC. He also understands what it takes to be successful.
“Partnerships are critical in this business. Our joint venture with Sodexo enables us to develop our
people and access the capacity we need to keep our clients satis- ed. And we value the work we do with exploration and development projects because it allows us to begin building strong, long-term relationships. We’ve worked with Seabridge for four seasons now, and have developed mutual trust and understanding about what is required for us to be successful together. That’s invaluable in a true partnership.”
“In addition to developing great working relationships with industry, what I enjoy most about the work I do is nding employ-ment for members of the Tahltan Nation and other local First Na-
tions,” Edward continues. “Over the past few years, year-round employment has been limited in our re-gion, and so seeing people succeed and develop ca-reers in the hospitality industry is really motivating.”
Seabridge has spent more than $125 million in exploration, engineering and development work to move the proposed KSM Project towards production. Approximately 80 percent of this spending has been in local communities, where Seabridge is committed to creating economic opportunities, developing lo-cal people and building partnerships with local busi-nesses.

“It will become even stronger when we have a business plan,” he said of the $15,000 study being written by the consulting fi rm Harris Palmer.
Firm owner Roger Harris says the report is expected to be fi nished within a month and will incorporate infor-mation the city learned was important during its meetings.
Bennett, describing the meeting with Ter-race as positive, did say nothing has been decided.
“It was a positive discussion,” said Ben-nett afterwards. “I think I need to be careful not to send any signals that a revenue sharing agreement is a slam dunk. It’s not.”
Bennett said that he would like to meet with more northwestern municipalities to talk about revenue sharing as well.
B.C. has various revenue-sharing mod-
els involving various municipalities in dif-ferent regions.
Closest to Ben-nett’s home riding in southeastern B.C., a revenue sharing modelis in place with the mu-nicipalities of Fernie, Sparwood and Elkford called the Elk Valley Property Tax Sharing Agreement.
He pointed to the three municipalities which each receive a share of property taxes levied from coal mines in the region.
Of the three mu-nicipalities, Fernie has the largest population base and while it is less than half the size of Terrace, it serves as the commercial ser-vice centre of that re-gion like Terrace does here, said Fernie offi -cial Jim Hendricks.
“It is really to help with infrastructure de-mands,” he said of the $2.6 million Fernie collects as a result of the agreement.
“A lot of the miners ... do come to Fernie and place demands on our infrastructure .. it would be a tough go if
we lost that money.”The city collects
roughly $4.5 million in property taxes from within its boundaries yearly, meaning the
additional $2.6 mil-lion is an important part of the city’s bud-get, said Hendricks.
Provincial revenue sharing models in B.C.
include the Fair Share agreement between the regional district and municipalities in the Peace River region.
And hydro-electric
operations that are part of the Colum-bia River system inthe Kootenays produce revenue shared with lo-cal governments.
From front
City pushes revenue sharing pitch
Jobless rate
dips a littleTHE NORTHWEST’S jobless rate dropped in September, but remains the only region in B.C. to have one in the double digits.
The September rate of 10.5 per cent is better than August’s 11.8 per cent, July’s 11.9 per cent and June’s 12.2 per cent for the area running from the north coast to just west of Vanderhoof.
Still, September’s rate is higher than Sept. 2011 when the jobless rate was 8.6 per cent.
The drop also meant an increase in the number of people working – 38,400 in September com-pared to 38,100 in August. September’s fi gure matched that of July’s.
In September 2011, 44,800 were working in the region.
Meanwhile, the provincial jobless rate was 6.8 per cent in September, the same percentage as in August.
Across the regions, the jobless rate for Sep-tember was 5.9 per cent on Vancouver Island, 7.1 per cent on the lower mainland, 5.2 per cent in the Thompson-Okanagan, 8.8 per cent in the Koote-nays, 8.2 per cent in the Cariboo and 4.4 per cent in the northeast.
The fi gures released today are not those of peo-ple collecting Employment Insurance.
They’re the product of Statistics Canada em-ployees interviewing people over the age of 15 and those considering themselves part of the work-force are people with a job or who are looking for work.
People withdraw from the workforce for any number of reasons, not all of which are associated with having a job or not.
Across the country, employment increased for the second consecutive month in September, up 52,000, mainly in full-time work. The unemploy-ment rate rose 0.1 percentage points to 7.4 per cent as more people participated in the labour market.

Bail hearing cancelledA MAN police say is a drug traffi cker involved in an organized crime gang here spent Thanksgiving weekend in jail.
David Harry Ed-wardsen, who has been in jail since his initial arrest Sept. 19, was to have a bail hearing Oct. 5 but it was cancelled because his defence lawyer was presented with 150 pages of docu-ments by government prosecutors just days before.
“Crown provided me with 150 plus pages of statements from my cli-ent and other people, so no, I wasn’t in a posi-tion to deal with that,” said Greg Cranston by phone from Vancouver Oct. 5.
He and government lawyers are now sched-uled to come up with a new date at a meeting tomorrow.
At the same time, six additional charges on top of 11 original ones have now been laid against Edwardsen.
Edwardsen was ini-tially charged with four counts of traffi cking, two counts of posses-sion for the purpose of traffi cking, one charge of production of a con-trolled substance, and four fi rearms charges.
The new charges include one for posses-sion for the purpose of traffi cking, one for pos-sessing a prohibited or restricted fi rearm with ammunition, one charge of possessing prohib-ited weapon without a licence and six charges of unauthorized posses-sion of a fi rearm.
Four other people were arrested but later released; they remained uncharged as of Oct. 5.
Police said the arrest of Edwardsen marked a
milestone in a 14-month investigation.
On Sept. 19, police executed fi ve search warrants on fi ve prop-erties in Terrace and area – Edwardsen’s residence at 604 Old Lakelse Lake Road, two other residences on that same road, one residence on King Ave. in Thornhill and a resi-dence on Bohler Rd.
Emergency Re-sponse Team offi cers, similar to a SWAT team, were part of the offi cers at Edwardsen’s place due to a concern about weapons, said Terrace RCMP inspector Dana Hart.
Police seized drugs,
including more than 500 marijuana plants from three different grow-ops; 1.5 kg of cocaine; 24 tablets of ecstasy; 17 grams of hashish, 32 grams of magic mushrooms and also prescription drugs, reported police at that time.
Investigators also re-covered 110 long guns, including rifl es and shotguns, and several handguns from two of the sites, said police.
“There have been at least four searches of his property in the last year, none of which re-sulted in any charges,” said Cranston.
Edwardsen had good
reason for the guns he had and for keeping a loaded one handy, said Cranston.
“What they don’t tell you with all the guns is, his grandfather was a gun collector and most of the guns were in, as a matter of fact, in the cedar gun cases and the loaded guns – you might want check how many bears were killed in Terrace, I think it was 300 last year just coming into town – a bear attacked his dog and there’s big scratch marks on the back of his door, which might be a reason to have a gun loaded under your bed.”

SANTA, AND his leather-clad helpers experienced sunshine, winds and rain Sept. 29 in staging the annual Christmas toy run.
Toy run stages successful rideTHE 30TH Road Runners Toy Run brought in lots of toys and cash donations for needy children this Christmas.
Seventy-six riders rode in what is the bike club’s last toy run.
“Everybody brought lots of toys. The kids will do really well,”
said Stan McKay, one of the run’s organizers. He adding that no child in need will go without Christmas this year.
Terrace Salvation Army Captain Rosa Moulton said it received about 206 toys and $1,040 in donations as of Oct. 3.
Money raised
at Mount Layton Hotsprings, a stopping point for the toy run which begins in Kiti-mat, formed part of the donations.
And it hasn’t wound down yet as donations will keep coming in for a couple more weeks, said Jim Braid, also a longtime toy run orga-
nizer.A 50/50 draw held at
the Northern Motor Inn every Saturday resulted in another $2,046.50 being raised.
It will be sent to Mills Memorial Hospi-tal and used for pediat-rics medical care, said Gail Munson from the Northern Motor Inn.
Although the Road Runners, which is down to just a few members, may no longer stage the ride, it will continue, said Braid. The toy run will continue as the club has some people in mind to take over.
“We’re just looking and seeing who wants to bite at it,” said Braid.
To commemorate the event, every rider received a 30th toy run scarf with the Road Runners logo on it, said Braid.
This year the toy run received some help from the Second Terrace Scouts which collected toys and donations.
“We just want to do
our part for the commu-nity,” said Scout leader Michale Tetreau.
She said Scouts will ask the community for help and donations so that it is only natural they reciprocate when they can.
Scouts will be help-ing out next year, Tet-reau added.
A NUMBER of North-west Community Col-lege students have been awarded 2012 Ike Bar-ber Transfer Scholar-ships.
Six students from Terrace and one from Nelson who is attending
the college will receive the scholarships, award-ed annually, from the Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship Society.
The awards are worth $5000 a piece and are given to B.C. under-
graduate students who have completed two years of post-secondary and are transferring on to another institution.
Students must dem-onstrate volunteer ser-vice to their school and community and have
strong grades in order to qualify for the schol-arship.
Out of the 89 schol-arships handed out, sev-en were from Northwest Community College.

Downtown TerraceLeaf blower noise complaint. Police
gave advice on the matter. I would ad-vise using a frickin’ rake.
Complaint of smell of borscht – cooked cabbage check was done of area. Only boiled beets found.
My mother and your mother were hanging up the clothes. My mother punched your mother right in the nose. Consensual fi ght, no charges laid.
In a supermarket checkout line a teenager “ass-called” another shopper with his cell phone. Her saying, “Hello, hello?” was heard in his pocket. Both left prior to police attending.
Cellular call asking via text “Do we need bread?” was ignored. Advice was given.
A 38-year-old woman got really an-noyed with her family. She called her sister, who made her laugh and lighten up.
A group of intoxicated people were deciding whether they should take the bus or grab a cab, as they were not go-ing to drive in their present state. Chi-clets were handed out before they dis-appeared into the night.
Loud knocking at the back door af-ter family had fi gured they were more or less done for the day, as all were pa-jama-ed. Family-led checks were done of backyard. An old friend was let in, laughed with, given tea.
A citizen walking on a public thor-oughfare was stopped by police who spoke with the man. When asked for his identifi cation, he replied, “This is not a police state.”
RuralA man shoved another man. He was
warned, “Use your words.”Elsewhere in TerraceBusiness alarm on Hwy 16 West.
Someone said the business was closed
but left insecure. A person could have entered the building and used the wash-room, setting the alarm off. Further de-tails were not provided, and we have no idea if this event even occurred.
A 15-year-old girl was reportedly behaving badly in downtown Terrace. Prior to this newsworthy event, no 15-year-old girl has ever behaved badly in this town, so all in attendance were dumbstruck.
Kids these days!Two 17-year-old girls were arrested
for public intoxication in a downtown parking lot. I guess they might have a record now, and fi nd it hard to get a job when they smarten up at about age 24 or so. Let everyone over the age of 17 who was never drunk inappropriately, raise their hand. Oh, hi, mom.
There were two people in a white van and someone was of the opinion they might be intoxicated, and called in
and said so. Checks were done of area.There was a noisy party on a street!
Three young people were acting up – a 17-year-old girl, a 21-year-old man, and a 22-year-old man were arrested for causing a disturbance. A roommate was playing music loud and wouldn’t turn it down. Police attended and told the roommate to turn down the music.
Many young people will turn down their music when a neighbour asks. Not all will. You can give it a try, if you are calm.
Intoxicated man knocking on door looking for a girlfriend. Checks were done of area.
Strange man asking for Bev, when there was no Bev at that number. Ad-vice was given.
Annoying robo-call received asking for Norman White. I told them three times in person, and then by e-mail that there is no Norman White here. In my e-mail, I expressed sympathy for this (or any) Norman White, and whatever had happened in his life that caused him to be on their call list. However, their pursuit of Norman White, or any Norman, or any White, was not being advanced by repeatedly calling my cell-phone. They were wasting their own time – and their client’s money – by bugging me at work, rest and play. I advised them to quit it.
They did.No advice was needed by tax-payer-
funded civil servants.People who know people who com-
mit crimes can call Crime Stoppers, al-though the crime has already been com-mitted – allegedly – and so can’t really be “stopped” retrospectively.
Oh – and none of this has been prov-en in a court of law.
It’s just a story I heard recently. It is based on a true story.

THE WINNERS of the Jr. B Girls Volleyball Kodiac Classic, Skeena Middle School.
THE JR. B Girls Volleyball Kodiac Classic was held over the Sept. 28-29 weekend in Prince George at Prince George Secondary School (PGSS) and Terrace’s Skeena Middle School took top spot.
A total of nine teams at-tended — four in one pool — Duchess Park, College Heights, Kelly Road and Chetwynd — and fi ve in the other, D.P. Todd, PGSS, Ce-dars, Mackenzie and Skeena.
On Friday, Skeena’s fi rst match against Cedars was challenging as both teams demonstrated a good balance of offensive and defensive skills.
But Skeena fi nished the
match with a win 25 - 19 in the fi rst set and 25 - 11 in the second set.
The team won their match against D.P. Todd in two close sets.
And on Saturday, Skeena’s third match versus PGSS in-volved consistent serving and good dominance on the net — taking the fi rst set 26 - 24 and 25 - 19 in the second set.
Blocking was a key factor to their success in this match.
Skeena’s fourth game vs. Mackenzie saw Skeena domi-nate early and never look back winning the fi rst set 25 - 11 and 25 - 21 for the second.
These results placed Skee-na fi rst in their pool and in
good position for the playoffs to follow.
Their fi fth quarter-fi nal game was against PGSS again and this game stayed close with both teams taking the lead but Skeena proved to be stronger in the end winning 25 - 18 and 25 - 20.
This set up their semi-fi nal game against Duchess Park where Skeena again took an early lead and was able to cruise to victory with smart court coverage and confi dent attacks.
The fi nals saw Skeena meet the also-undefeated College Heights.

LEVEL ONE refs Ryan Kawinsky, left, and Seth Scott, both 15-years-old, have been offi ciating in Terrace for four years.
LET’S START with some hockey trivia: Your team’s goalie breaks his stick and
has to borrow the stick of the other player. The play is intense and he can’t leave the net, so a shift change later, his backup stick is shuttled out to him. But now he has two sticks — which is almost as bad as having none. No big deal, you say. He should just toss his teammates’ stick aside and get on with the game, right?
Nope. Wrong. If he did, he would be breaking the rule
that states that goalies who use another play-ers stick must hand off the stick to the play-er. No tossing, no laying gently behind the net for pick up later, it must be physically handed off. If he doesn’t he is supposed to be given a penalty.
Now, if this seems like a silly rule to you, and a pretty far-fetched situation at that, I’d have to agree with you. But it’s the rule. And do you know whose job is it to know all of these once-in-a-lifetime, bizarro rules?
Your minor hockey referees. Not only do these offi cials, who range in
age from 12 to their mid-60’s here in Terrace, have to learn what’s inside the 157-page rule book, but they have to be respected enough by coaches and players to enforce these rules, especially the once-in-a-lifetime ones that coaches might not be aware of.
Throw in enthusiastic parents yelling in the stands, and the sheer physicality it takes to sprint up and down the ice 40 – 50 times a game without a break, and you have a de-manding job that takes brains, balance and backbone to do it right and give participants a safe, fair, well-paced game.
This year in Terrace, there are roughly 21 minor hockey offi cials who rotate shifts at Terrace Minor Hockey Association (TMHA) games. The amount of offi cials per game de-pends on the level of hockey.
For rep hockey, the standard right now is three — one ref and two linesmen. But TMHA’s Referee in Chief Cam MacBean, who has been offi ciating for over 30 years, says he’d like to see that move to four.
“Kids are smarter, they get away with more,” he says. “And they’re bigger.”
But MacBean can’t move to four offi -
cials per game because he just doesn’t have enough refs.
“It’s pretty hard to run a minor hockey as-sociation with 21 refs,” he says. There are so many other activities for kids to do, they might not think about offi ciating as an op-tion — or it might not be appealing to them at fi rst thought.
“Why would they go on the ice and take abuse for an hour for ten dollars?” he says, noting that developing a thick skin comes with the territory
“You have to make it fun,” he says. “Don’t get on the kids, let them develop into the of-fi cial that they can be,” he says. “Don’t give them a free ride but don’t start jumping on them and harassing them because we can’t afford to lose them – this is your future.
“What people have to realize is that it also has to be fun for the ref – and if it isn’t, he’s not coming back. It has to be fun for all. Everyone wants to win, but you have to un-derstand where people are coming from.”
And where refs are coming from, is a place of strong commitment to the game and their community.
To become a ref, the fi rst step is taking an online test and a clinic. The test costs money, but once the new ref has worked 10 games for Terrace Minor Hockey they are reim-bursed. After that, refs need to attend a one-day clinic every year, and it’s up to them how far they advance through the system — there are six levels for amateur hockey, with most refs in Terrace being level three or below. To make level four and above, refs need to be
18 years of age and be able to leave Terrace and offi ciate games in higher leagues — one of the challenges of living in the north. And there are evaluations by referee committee members for every level beyond level two.
Offi ciating development workshops, like the one coming up here in Terrace in the middle of November, also help refs hone their skills.
“It’s a long work in progress,” says Mac-Bean. But it’s important to have high-caliber offi cials who are trained well because, as mentioned before, players are smarter.
“If you have people out on the ice that are in over their heads, you have a gong show,” he says. “You get guys sticking each other and slashing, and it’s not fun.”
But refereeing can be a lot of fun, says MacBean, especially when high-caliber tournaments and games come to Terrace and when there is opportunity for travel.
“Once you’ve got your thick skin, you can turn it into a game like it’s supposed to be,” he says.
While Terrace may not have as many refs as MacBean would like, he says there are a few strong young refs working their way up the system. There are also three female refs — but there needs to be more because BC Hockey wants females offi ciating female games.
Ultimately, the role of a ref is multi-fac-eted, he says. “Controlling the players is not the refs job, that’s the coaches job,” he says. “Although we get told we’re supposed to control the players all the time. We’re not. We’re supposed to control the game, call penalties ... call infractions that you see.”
“You gotta be the boss. You have to learn how to talk to coaches,” he says. “It’s a de-veloped skill. You get a teenager talking to an adult, it can be pretty intimidating. You have to listen, but you have to have the last word.”
But it’s more than what happens on the ice, says MacBean, who says he still has about 10 years of offi ciating left in him.
“Giving back to your community, that’s a big part. If you don’t put back in, the system dies. You’ve gotta have someone to defend the kids.”
Making the call: Reffi ng matters
Jim and I drove to the lower end of the Lakelse River via Remo Road and Whitebottom Main a couple of weeks ago. Though I didn’t expect
to fi nd many had entered the river with the water being as low as it was, I had a faint hope of killing a coho.
Karen and I had travelled to southern Alberta when the sockeye were racing up the Skeena, so I missed the opportunity to kill some of those fi sh and stick them in jars for winter. A couple of cohoes would make good larder replacements for the sockeye.
Jim had no killing intentions. He wanted to look at the river, take stock of the pink stocks, catch a few trout, but, most of all, he was keen to hook one of those elusive and rare Lakelse River summer steelhead.
Last September, he and Andrew Wil-liams had been fi shing the middle reaches of the Lakelse. Andrew was looking to catch a coho and Jim was intent upon trout, and was using a light outfi t for that reason.
After lunch, Jim had a take from a large fi sh that came unstuck before he had a good look at it. He had seen enough of it to know it wasn’t a coho. It was too big to be a ei-ther a cutthroat trout or one of the river’s hybridized rainbows. The fact that the fi sh had taken a small fl y fi shed just under the surface of the river, led Jim and Andrew to conclude that it must have been a summer
steelhead. The coho fi shers who
bounce jigs along the bottom of the lower riv-er report hooking steel-head in September too.
Every fall, Doug Webb and I share the paths into the middle reaches of the Lakelse River with the grizzly bears. The bruins are after salmon. We’re af-ter cutthroat trout and char. Because fi shing trout with the kind of rod that can handle a steelhead is less enjoy-able and unsporting, we fi sh small trout rods and light leaders. And, every year we have one or two instances where we hook and lose large fi sh we suspect are early run steelhead.
Twenty-fi ve years ago, Eddy Chapplow and I were fi shing the run just upstream of White Creek, the piece of water that I call the Hammock Hole inspired to do so by Mike Whelpley, who used to hang a hammock near it to rest from a morn-ing of arduous spring steelhead fi shing on the nearby waters many years ago. Again Ed and I had trout in our cross hairs, but
because I was fi shing a large, hairy nymph built of burlap and buck fur, I was forced to use a heavy leader to cast it.
The fl y was working well. I’d released a lot of Dolly Varden and some nice cutthroat when a large fi sh hit. After an exciting battle, I brought a dark steelhead to shore. Its colour suggested the fi sh had been in the riv-er for a while, and this was in the fi rst week of September. Catching a Lakelse steelhead in Au-gust would provide real confi rmation that the river has true summer
runs, but nobody fi shes the river then as it’s usually plugged with pink salmon.
The majority of Lakelse steelhead begin entering the river when the ripened crimson coho are frantically digging redds in the upper river. The peak of the return falls in mid- to late-November and begins to taper off in mid-December. There are a few fi sh still entering the river in January, provided a cold snap hasn’t closed up the upper river and all but dewatered the remainder.
A few of these rugged fi sh settle into the
few relatively deep pools while a few oth-ers spend the winter under some of the riv-er’s many log jams, as was confi rmed dur-ing radio telemetry programs back in the 1980s. It’s generally assumed, but by no means proven, that the majority of Lake-lse River steelhead spend the winter in the almost two kilometre long, slow moving, reedy stretch of the upper river between Herman’s Point and outlet of Lakelse Lake. Steelhead caught by ice fi shers in and near that area prove that some fi sh over winter in this spot, but I suspect that they use the entire lake and that, contrary to popular theory, some of them do not drop back into the Lakelse River to spawn, but are intent on spawning in all or some of the creeks that feed the lake, Williams Creek being possibly the most important of those. In fact, Williams Creek may be the target of those September steelhead.
Streams that host summer steelhead have canyons and are lake headed. The Zy-moetz and Dean exemplify this. The short-er, glacial or ground water fed streams on our coast have winter fi sh and later winter (also called spring) runs of steelhead. The Lakelse has these features.
Jim and I were discussing this while pulling on our waders when a large white truck came bouncing down the road into the Powerline Run.
...to be continued next week...

As expected, this nail-biting match proved to be Skeena’s biggest challenge with the lead volleying back and forth.
Both teams screamed with ev-ery point earned and the crowd was treated to an exciting match involv-ing long rallies and good team spirit. Skeena had confi dence going into the
second set after taking the fi rst set 25 - 23. But College Heights kept a 2 to 4 point lead through most of the match until Skeena tied it up 19-19.
College Heights then gained the lead and had three opportunities to win the set but Skeena held their ground and tied it up at 26 - 26 and then fi nished with a 28 - 26 win.
During the award ceremony All Stars went to Skeena’s Chelsey Loset and Anke De Wit while Carly Davies took the tournament MVP award.
Coach Frank Marrelli was im-pressed with the teams self confi -dence and “never quit attitude.”
The team didn’t lose a single
set the entire tournament and had to battle back in a number of situ-ations to secure their victory. It was the teams’ second tournament this season and will hopefully act as a springboard for future tournaments, he said. He would also like to thank all the parents that helped the team in their success.

Fall run goes the distanceJUST OVER 150 people participated in the 32nd annual All Seasons Fall Run held Sept. 30 here in Terrace that saw athletes of all ages competing in 5k, 10k, and 21k marathon races.
The races started and end-ed at the college, with routes that winded around the bench and through the horseshoe.
“We had a great day,” said organizer Jack Worobey, not-ing that there were about 18 volunteers who helped the day run smoothly.
This year’s awards were presented at the college longhouse – a roomier space for the popular event.
“The longhouse was just great for doing the awards,” Worobey said. “[It’s a} great facility.”
In the marathon race, Mike Christensen once again came fi rst overall with a time of 1:26:48.
But Dwayne Felewich was close behind him with a time of 1:28:54 for second overall and a fi rst-place fi nish for the male 20 - 39 category.
“Dwayne just kept stick-ing with me at the begin-ning so I kept pushing the pace harder and harder.” said
Christensen, noting that he’d initially planned to run easy as he was fi ghting a cold. “He was a tough competitor and just would not give in.”
“I suffered badly on Lan-fear hill but managed to pull it together for the home stretch and get my best time since I was in my twenties,” he said.
Christensen, who’s son Thomas came fourth over-all in the 5k race, said he noticed a number of oth-er father/son participants “with some great perfor-mances from the young men – Travis & Aiden Carter, Curtis and Gavin Brether-ick,” he said. “Watch those names for the future.”
Nicole Calame came fi rst in the marathon female 20 - 39 category with a time of 1:38:46.
In the half-marathon, Ja-cob Haas placed fi rst overall with a time of 37:30, with 15-year-old Luke Whitaker in second with 41:05.
In the 5k, 17-year-old Regan Yee of South Hazelton placed fi rst overall with her time of 18:42.

“Fall back” to smart home safety
Analysis was undertaken on almost 50,000 fires that occurred in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario over a 5-year period involving 663 fatalities. The findings demonstrated that the death rate per 1,000 fires in the absence of a present, functioning smoke alarm was 74% greater than when a functioning smoke alarm was present.

Only a working smoke alarm can save your life!FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCT. 7-14Many fatal fi res start at nightInvestigations into home fi re deaths very of-ten fi nd that a smoke alarm did not sound. It may have been discon-nected or not in working order. The batteries may have been dead, or some-one may have taken them out. Smoke alone won’t necessar-ily wake you up. In fact, the fumes could put you into an even deeper sleep. Often, victims never wake up. Se-
niors will often need assistance from family members to put safety mea-sures into place. As well, family members are in the best posi-tion to reinforce the precautions necessary to help their loved ones prevent or respond to a fi re. Focus on these six priorities to
help aging family members protect themselves against fi re in the home.
■ INSTALL smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.■ Larger homes may need ADDITIONAL smoke alarms to provide enough protection.■ For the best protection, INTERCONNECT all smoke alarms so when one sounds they all sound.■ An IONIZATION smoke alarm is generally more responsive to fl aming fi res and a PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fi res. For the best protection, both types of alarms or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms (also known as dual sensor alarms) are recommended.■ Smoke alarms should be INSTALLED away from the kitchen to prevent false alarms. Generally, they should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a cooking appliance.■ REPLACE all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.

It’s more than a pipeline.
Tankers will reduce speeds in the channels…Tankers travel slowly, but to make sure that marine species and their habitats are respected, tankers will be required to reduce speed as they pass through certain sections of the channels. Even their escort tugboats will have quieter engines to reduce underwater noise.
Additional radar and navigational aids will improve safety for all vessels…For increased safety and sure guidance, additional radar systems and navigational
aids, such as beacons, buoys and lights, will be installed throughout the routes. This will not
only improve safety for tankers, but for all marine traffi c on the north coast.
Discover more about our rigorous marine safety plan and join the conversation at marine.northerngateway.ca.
Although tankers have been safely navigating the north coast and its channels for decades, marine safety remains a top priority for British Columbians. We have been planning the Northern Gateway Project for over a decade, with a particular focus on protecting the environment. We have added specifi c safety requirements to our marine operations plan to help
make the waters of the north coast safer not just for tankers serving the project, but for all marine vessels.
Qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots will board and guide all tankers… To prevent spills, all tankers
serving the project will be modern and double-hulled, and will be vetted
by independent, third party agencies before entering Canadian waters.
Once strict safety and environmental standards
are met, they will be guided through the Douglas and Principe Channels by qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots.
Powerful tugboats will escort tankers…Tugboats have been shown to signifi cantly reduce tanker incidents worldwide. Powerful tugboats that have
been specially commissioned for Northern Gateway will assist in the
safe arrival and departure of tankers. All tankers will be attended by a close escort tug. In the channels, laden tankers will have two tugs–one tethered at all times. These tugboats will
have emergency response equipment on board and will be capable of assisting any marine vessel.
It’s a path to delivering energy safely.
