‘Hey, do you want a kidney?’ By CAITLIN CLOW PALWINDER THANDI never gave up hope when she was put on the donor list for a new kidney. But the last thing she expected was to have friend Megan Hoole step up and offer one of hers. “March of this year, I was very ill and I just about didn't make it,” Thandi said. Thandi suffered from renal failure and many infections related to dialysis. But thanks to Hoole's generous donation made on May 9th, Thandi is back to her normal self. Hoole and Thandi have known each other for the past seven years and as the saying goes, opposites attract. Thandi is an outspoken, outgoing, extravert, while Hoole is more private and introspective. “I didn't know her that well,” Hoole said. “But I really liked her, she's such a good person, a nice person.” So when she found out about Thandi's condition, she already knew what she should do. “At this time in my life I was in a place where I could do it so I thought she could probably have one of mine,” Hoole explained. “She’s just a year older than me and I thought that was way too young to have to be saddled with dialysis,” Hoole said. “It’s a huge burden.” “Megan phoned me up and said, ‘I hear you’re in the market for a new kidney,’” Thandi said. That phone call happened almost a year ago to the day and Hoole said it was the first time she had ever called Thandi. “It definitely took her by surprise,” Hoole said. “Not often people call up saying, ‘hey, do you want a kidney,’” “Funny part about it was, I’m East Indian and I didn’t realize that someone who was Caucasian could give me a kidney!” Thandi said, “I thought it would be hard to find, but then my doctor told me that we’re all pink on the inside and that stuck with Meg and I.”

Major airport expansion in the works THE NORTHWEST Regional Airport is about to embark upon a $15 million expansion of its main terminal building in response to growing passenger numbers. By the time construction is expected to be complete in 2016, the terminal building will be 40 per cent larger than it is now with a more spacious holding area for departing passengers, new and larger check in and baggage drop off facilities, more room for security

clearing and renovated office and counter space for airlines. “We are the northwest's regional airport and we really want to grow that,” says airport manager Carman Hendry of the project, the first part of which is to start this fall and be finished next spring. “We want a place where people can feel comfortable, safe and secure.” Financing will come through a first-ever airport improvement fee

of $7 as of November although the airport will look for grants to defray construction costs. “We expect to pay for the project within 10 years after which the improvement fee will be removed,” said Hendry. The expansion project is contained within a 20-year plan commissioned by the society which runs the airport and is being started earlier than first anticipated because of continuing increases in

passenger numbers. The airport passenger count reached 177,294 in 2013 and this July, recorded a passenger count of 23,627. Projections based on increased industrial activity to the north now that BC Hydro has completed its Northwest Transmission Line Hendry said the society's board of directors decided to act now instead of later so that it would not have to play catch up in the years ahead.

Still, said Hendry, the board will continue to take a cautious financial approach to its construction plan. And that's to be done by dividing the expansion project into four parts, each of which being designed to stand alone if need be. “As each stage is completed, we'll evaluate where we are and make decisions then,” said Hendry.

Telus on alert Cherokee! On the road with Zack...

TELUS OFFICIALS were on alert late last week in case the China Nose wildfire near Houston affected a portion of its telecommunications services. The fire was close to Telus equipment providing data, including internet, and cell service to the region west of the fire location. “We are working very closely with emergency responders and they are poised to protect our infrastructure and spray it with fire retardant as needed ... any outage from the fire would effect data and cellular service, but land lines would remain in service,” said Telus official Chris Gerritsen. BC Hydro officials said there were no worries about power outages as the corporation could take power from Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kemano generators.

■■ Old friends TEXAS VISITOR Cheryl White, left, was born in Terrace as Cheryl Thibideau and she hasn’t been back in 52 years until two weeks ago when she participated in the Bear Paw Art Walk. There she bumped into former mayor Jack Talstra who recognized her right away as the daughter of Rev. Harry Thibideau. The two quickly reminisced about how Terrace used to be in the ‘60s. White’s mother was the first patient at then brand new Mills Memorial Hospital on March 17th, 1961.

Fire ban put in place because of hot weather LAST WEEK’S hot and dry weather moved the fire danger rating from “moderate” to “extreme” leading the provincial forest service to take preventative action by placing a fire ban as of the afternoon of Aug. 12. Campfires are now prohibited as well as open fires, tiki torches, fireworks and sky lanterns. The ban is set to last until Sept. 15, or when otherwise notified as determined by officials. As temperatures peaked, forest service officials were predicting an increase in naturally-caused wildfires, so the fire ban will ensure that humancaused fires won’t be adding to the problem. The ban does not apply to cooking stoves using gas, propane or briquettes. Portable campfire apparatus that use briquettes, liquid, or gaseous fuel, marked with a CSA or ULC rating are also not included in the prohibition, so long as the flame does not exceed 15 cm. The fire ban covers all B.C. Parks, Crown land

and private lands however it does not apply within city limits that are serviced by a fire department. The forest service does recommend calling local authorities for restrictions before starting a fire. Those caught breaking prohibition are subject to a fine up to $345. If convicted than the fines increase to $100,000 and a year in prison. And if the actions contribute to a wildfire, the person could be subject to a fine of $10,000 plus the bill for all firefighting costs. To report a wildfire or an unattended campfire, call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on a cellphone. As of late last week, the China Nose fire near Houston, estimated at 4,000 hectares, was the only significant blaze in the region. Firefighters, backed up by helicopters, worked over the weekend to contain the blaze. It caused the evacuation of nearby residents and the temporary closure of Hwy16 west of Burns Lake.

Airport expansion planned The added space will reach out from the existing security clearing area portion of the terminal building. The addition will be 1,534 square metres in size and the area to be renovated within the current terminal will be 1,110 square metres for a total terminal building size of 4,101 square metres when construction is completed. Hendry points to the larger departing passenger hold room as an example of the airport's emphasis on passenger comfort. The current hold room can comfortably contain about 80 people but with airlines now departing within minutes of each other, more space is needed. What's being planned is a hold room of approximately 190 seats and separate departure gates for each airline. “It means we'll be able to service more than one aircraft at a time,” said Hendry. New check in and baggage facilities will also improve the traffic flow for passengers prior to going through security, he added. “We're also looking at self serve [check in] kiosks,” Hendry continued. The expansion will allow for two security clearing lines to be installed but only one will be built for the time being. In the meantime, work on an expanded parking area to hold up to 800 vehicles continues with a graveled surface scheduled to be ready by the beginning of winter. Hendry said the airport is applying for grants to have the area paved. A portion of the airport's main service road has now been rebuilt using crush uncovered during the parking lot project.

Housing projects moving forward By ANNA KILLEN IT MAY not have been the most exciting meeting ever held in city chambers, but last Monday’s regular council meeting offered a glimpse of the types of housing projects Terrace residents can expect to see more of as area development continues to pick up and property owners look to capitalize on the need for more housing units. A number of bylaws saw first and second reading, with the majority dealing with requests for zoning changes which will allow more multi-residential units to be built. In the horseshoe neighbourhood, Stan Kinkead, who earlier this year was successful in receiving a rezoning of property for a multi-family townhouse development of up to nine units on the bench, plans to turn a single family home at 4917 Lazelle Ave. – the property beside the Masonic Hall near the United Church – into a three-unit housing complex. The necessary zoning changes and amendments to the official community plan passed first and second reading. Travelling up to the bench at 5350 Mountain Vista Dr., just off the Nisga'a Hwy, MCF Enter-

prises Ltd is looking to develop its property, but first steps include discharging the lot from the provincially-legislated land use contract. These locked-in contracts were issued in the 1970s and detail land use and development. They currently supersede subsequent land use bylaws, but are being phased out over the next decade. The city's policy regarding land use contracts has always been to zone land use contract lands within the city as the corresponding appropriate zoning, explained director of development services David Block. “So in this case, the portions of the property are zoned R5, high density multi-family residential and R2 (single-family residential),” he continued, before the amendment to the land use contract passed first and second reading by council. And on the bench at 4934 Twedle Ave., following an application from property owner Colleen Frose, with a bylaw amendment passing first and second reading, plans are in motion to change the zoning from R1 family residential MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO to R3 low-density multi-residential to allow residential townhouses or CLEARING CONTINUES in several locations, the one shown here is the property bounded by Thomduplexes to be built on the property, as and Twedle on the Bench, as plans for various kinds of housing move forward.

PROVINCIAL ENERGY and mines minister Bill Bennett, left, with BC Hydro vice president Greg Reimer and BC Hydro chief executive officer Jessica McDonald with plaque commemorating the completion of the Northwest Transmission Line.

Line finishing celebrated

CALLED A region-building project for its impact on northwestern economic development, BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line was celebrated by a crowd of dignitaries and guests here Aug. 13. Provincial energy and mines minister Bill Bennett, speaking to a luncheon at the Skeena Golf & Country Club, compared the $746 million project delivering power from BC Hydro’s Skeena Substation near Terrace 334 kilometres to Bob Quinn on Hwy37 North to the massive hydro-electric projects on the Columbia River and Peace River systems constructed during the years WAC Bennett was premier. “It’s not a power line to nowhere,” said Bennett in referring to criticism of the line’s cost, now $746 million, and purpose. “This thing is lighting up and there’s electricity flowing through the lines,” he said of the line which was completed in June and put into service in mid-July. Calgary-based AltaGas already has power flowing into the line from its just completed Forrest Kerr run of river project on the Iskut River, Bennett added. AltaGas will sell power from Forrest Kerr to BC Hydro for 60 years and Ben-

nett described the facility as the largest of its kind in North America. The company is also building two small run of river projects in the vicinity for a combined cost of $1 billion. Bennett also mentioned the $630 million Red Chris copper mine owned by Imperial Metals which is due to be finished and put into service next month using power from the Northwest Transmission Line. “It’s the most important mine to open up in two decades or at least more,” said Bennett. “It’s going to be a huge wealth generator for the country.” Other speakers recounted the history of the line and the decade-plus effort to have it constructed. BC Hydro board member Janine North, the executive director of the Northern Development Initiative Trust and a key member of a coalition formed to convince the province the line was needed, said 40 communities and nearly 50 First Nations, companies and industrial associations were behind the effort. “I won’t say it’s ignored but we do have a region less recognized in terms of resources,” said North of the need to have a power line to develop the northwestern economy.

WHILE THERE were smiles and handshakes all around in marking the official completion of BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line at events here Aug. 13, there were also tributes given to one worker who was killed during construction. On March 15 Todd Thornewell was in a man bucket suspended about 85 feet above the ground by a mobile crane at one of the transmission line towers when it hit a boom and he was thrown out. Thornewell, from Alberta, was working for McGregor, a sister company of main powerline contractor Valard, brought in for portions of the work. BC Hydro vice president Greg Reimer, in remarks made at BC Hydro’s Skeena Subdivision, the start of the transmission line, noted that while safety and ensuring everyone goes home at night is a key goal of the crown corporation, there was the accident that claimed Thornewell’s life. “I’d like to take a minute to honour his contribution and bow our heads in a moment’s silence,” he told those at the substation. Nisga’a Lisims Government secretary treasurer Corinne McKay, in a blessing and prayer given at a luncheon held at the Skeena Golf & Country Club, also mentioned Thornewell. She asked God to “continue to keep your arms of protection around the family that is still grieving.”

Feds played a key role

JIM SHEPHERD, BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line project manager, points to Tower 0-1, the first of the line’s 1,100 towers located just outside of the Skeena Substation just southwest of Terrace.

ONE OF the keys to the construction of the Northwest Transmission Line was the 2009 announcement by the federal Conservative government that it was putting $130 million into the project. Jay Hill, a Conservative MP and cabinet minister who represented the riding of Prince George-Peace River from 1997 to 2010 and a guest at the Aug. 13 event noting the completion of the transmission line, recalled his role in securing that money. Armed with a study financed by a coalition of northwesterners and others lobbying for the line’s construction, Hill said he lobbied hard among his cabinet colleagues. More than a few, including Prime Minister Stephen Harper, told Hill he was asking for money for an area that isn’t politically friendly. “They said, ‘you do realize this is a NDP riding’,” Hill recalled. “But this was about doing the right thing in the right place.” Fortunately, added Hill, his seat on the Treasury Board, the arm of the government which decides on financial affairs, gave him an advantage. “I was able to convince the Prime Minister and my cabinet colleagues,” said Hill. The next step was to find the right program from which money could be allocated. That turned out to be the federal Green Infrastructure Fund, a $1 billion program for efforts to reduce carbon emissions. Hill said connecting mines to the provincial power grid meant they wouldn’t have to use expensive and environmentally harmful diesel generators.

Wednesday, August 20, 2014 Terrace Standard

EDITORIAL

Welfare NOT even Canadian banks, long regarded as safe harbour in stormy financial seas, seem immune to jittery high level anxiety. Just last week international financial ratings agency Standards and Poor downgraded the longer term outlook for Canada’s biggest banks to “negative” in citing how the federal government might react in a future economic crisis. That’s despite continued record earnings by many of the banks and a consequent rise in their stock prices. The reason for the “negative” tag, says Standards and Poor, is the perception the federal government might not step in to financially shore up the banks should there be trouble. Instead, the banks would be required to cope by using money within their own internal structures. To many Canadians who either hold bank stocks directly or have them contained in retirement savings plans, this news should be disconcerting. If our regulated banks are now being viewed in such a fashion, is there any reasonably secure investment? More importantly is that even at the highest level of financial thinking, the concept of the welfare state is solidly embedded by expecting the government to come running at the first sign of trouble. If this is disturbing it should be for it comes from the same folk who trumpet the idea of free enterprise and often rail against state support for those less fortunate. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Don’t keep depression hidden away

xperts encourage us to talk about depression if we are to save those suffering from it. Robin Williams’ suicide last week has sparked that conversation. One day after Williams’ death was reported, as I set foot on Park Avenue, a rattling behind me made me turn to see what was following me. It was a shopping cart, pushed by a younger woman whom I did not know. I doubt she recognized me either. We exchanged smiles before she said, “Have you heard Robin Williams died?” I said, “Yes, I’ve been reading it everywhere.” Her knowledge of a news topic startled me. Often no one I meet from store clerks to bank tellers to doctors’ receptionists have heard about a news topic I might mention. Depression and its toll on lives concerns me. My extended family has been blighted by more than one suicide. One was prevented after the teen shared her dark thoughts on Facebook. A reader in the southern U.S. alerted police nearest to the teen’s home city. Police located her curled up on a river

THROUGH BIFOCALS

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI bank after overdosing on pills and rushed her to Emergency where her stomach was pumped. Sometimes I want to say, “Oh, get over it.” But I know from closer experience being told to “get over it” doesn’t help. Depressed people cannot just get over it. Elizabeth Hawksworth, blogging on the Huffington Post, writes, “Suicide isn’t “giving up” or “giving in.” Suicide is a terrible decision made by someone whose pain is so great that they can no longer hold it, and feel they have no other option in life but to end it. It’s a decision you can’t take back, and

a decision that will affect your friends and family forever. It is not taken lightly. But imagine, if you will, feeling so desperate, so desolate, so incredibly sad and hurt that you honestly cannot see a way out.” One relative was so depressed he couldn’t drag himself out of bed even to water their few houseplants. After visits to several psychiatrists and trials of medications he found a fit for each. A new, tailored regimen of drugs lifted him out of his bleak moods and he’s gone on to be a happy nurturing Grandpa. From reading a lot about depression, I gather it’s usually caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Different triggers can make matters worse. A failure to receive an accurate diagnosis leaves the patient floundering. Take, for instance, the unhappy existence of Pierre Trudeau’s wife, Margaret, who blossomed once she had been accurately diagnosed as bipolar and received appropriate treatment. Only yesterday, slotted in around reports of Williams’ suicide and accolades for his outstanding work as a come-

dian and actor, our military reported on studies detailing the high incidence of post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) among Canada’s returning Afghan vets. Last fall near Christmas news reported more than one vet’s suicide every week. Closer to home, one vet was shot and killed by police in Prince George after his PTSD got out of hand and shots were exchanged. Since we know proper diagnosis and medications can restore depressed patients to an even keel and a happy, productive life, we owe it to them and to their families to do more for them while we still can. All of us can do our bit to talk about depression, to offer hope that things can and will improve. We wouldn’t hesitate to tell others we’re allergic to peanuts, or to bees, or wear contacts. Why, then, should we hide the fact we don’t feel emotionally whole? To quote mental-health advocate Arthur Gallant, also writing in the Huffington Post today, “If we talked about suicide this much when it wasn’t in the news, we’d be better off.”

OWNER OF this large industrial-use building on the corner of Hwy16 and Kalum Lake Drive (Hwy113) wants answers from the city.

Future of building needs to be known Dear Sir: Why is city council holding out on us? And where and when will Terrace get a second overpass? These are the questions that have been a burden to the large building on my property at Highway 16 and Kalum Lake Drive ever since it was tagged as one of three sites picked for Terrace’s second overpass.

I have been asking these two questions for several years and again last week when city planner David Block informed me there has been no decisions made to date. Surely by now the time has come for the planners to do what it takes and come up with these two answers so the business community plus all the new and potential developers can

act accordingly. The long wait for the Terrace economy to recover is obviously over. And having Kenworth moving back to its shop in Thornhill appears to be living proof that the logging industry is on the recovery trail. This in turn will justify a new paint job plus any renovations necessary to the present building to attract new companies to use this property

for its original purpose, which was to allow large freight, plus loaded logging trucks to circle the building for service from three different directions as well as provide parking for several units while repairs took place. The interior is completely lined with white steel sheeting.

Dear Sir: I note that our premier Christy Clark has visited Likely and has surveyed the area that is slowly being ruined by the Mount Polley mine tailings breach. I note also that the premier and her colleagues had warned them for years of the potential disaster. Why didn’t they enforce these warnings? Were these warnings just a joke, not to be taken seriously by the mine operatives? You have a lot of questions to answer, Ms. Clark. Will you answer them from the perspective of the people from that beautiful area or will you go the politically correct route? Earle Tupper, Terrace, B.C.

Regional body must be answer to locals only

stablishing the Northwest British Columbia Resource Benefits Alliance was a good move by the region’s local governments. Their news release announces that one of its first priorities is to negotiate a revenue sharing agreement with the province. It argues that communities need access to new long term sustainable revenue sources to fully address infrastructure deficits and needs, both now and into the future. Local governments would certainly benefit from gaining access to a new and sustainable revenue source linked to major resource developments. Local governments know what is needed; they have the capability and the capacity to identify, develop, and implement infrastructure projects which are essential to their communities. It is difficult, however, to understand the alliance’s reference to the Columbia Basin Trust as a model of what should be established in this area. The trust was created 19 years ago by pro-

vincial statute. The legislation’s preamble announces that “the government desires to include the people of the Columbia Basin in decisions that affect their lives and determine their future”. To that end the legislation states that the trusts’s purposes are to contribute to the social well-being of the residents of the region, the preservation, protection and enhancement of their environment, the economic development of the region, and “any other prescribed purposes.” However, the range of these objectives is limited by the stipulation that nothing in the stated purposes “relieves any level of government from any obligations it might have with respect to the region.” The trust is free to spend money on anything the board of directors may agree on as long as it does not relieve local governments of their obligations. But relief with respect to government obligations, specifically a new source of revenue to help pay for local infrastructure, is precisely what the alliance wants. The trust is governed by a

GUEST COMMENT

ANDRE CARREL 12-member board of directors. The five regional districts within its area and the Ktunaxa-Kinbasket Tribal Council are each invited to submit a list of one to four nominees for consideration re appointment to the board of directors. The Lieutenant Governor in Council – in effect the provincial government – selects and appoints one person from each of the six lists submitted. The remaining six directors

are appointed by the government at its own discretion. The efficacy of local representation is diminished by a provision that allows the government to “decline to appoint any of the nominees provided by a nominating body.” When that happens, the affected nominating body may submit a second list of nominees. If none of the names from that second list are acceptable to the government, the government proceeds to appoint a director of its choosing. To preserve the appearance of local representation, a director appointed under these conditions “is deemed to be appointed from nominees of that nominating body.” The bottom line is that persons who are objected to by the premier will never serve on the trust’s board of directors. The legislation’s preamble declares that the government desires to include the people in decisions that affect their lives, but a close inspection of the legislation reduces that desire to an illusion. The trust is a crown corporation with its own administration, and the province is the sole share-

holder. Its structure makes the organization accountable to the provincial government. As much as the government and the trust extol the latter’s local accountability, the trust is not accountable to local governments, much less to their citizens. The trust funds many worthy projects in the Columbia Basin; however the cost of staff remuneration amounts to $1 for every $5 spent on community projects. The cost of the trust administration amounts to 25 per cent of its annual expenditures. The trust legal mandate does not allow it to provide the kind of local government assistance the alliance wants. Our region does need new and sustainable revenue sources to address current and future infrastructure deficits and needs. What we do not need is one more crown corporation accountable to the provincial government to decide, on our behalf, what we receive. Retired public sector administrator Andre Carrel lives in Terrace, B.C.

Bishop couldn’t get novel off mind By MARGARET SPEIRS LOCAL WRITER Ev Bishop has released her first novel under her own name and her own publishing house after years of having the story in mind. Bigger Things falls under the genre of women’s fiction but Bishop says many people will find something about it to identify with. The novel details the story of three women who have been best friends since childhood and think they know everything about each other, but when one suffers a nervous breakdown, all of their secrets are laid bare. Battling personal dragons, confronting the past and embracing change will help them remain friends, if they can break free from the roles they’re played so long, or maybe they have to leave each other behind in order to move forward. “This story, I’ve never been able to put out of my head,” said Bishop, adding it’s one of her first novels – she began it in 2003. “The characters feel like friends,” she said about why she couldn’t get the story out of her mind. Their voices always spoke to her loud and clear and it was time for the novel’s birth, said Bishop.

She put her novel out to the traditional publishing houses and while receiving very good comments on it, they repeatedly told her they didn’t know how to market it or under what genre it should be placed. So she took the chance and dipped her toe into independent publishing, creating her own publishing house, Winding Path Books. Bigger Things will be printed on demand, which is cost effective and more environmentally friendly. And online booksellers have her book listed under a category, but not always the same as other online booksellers; one put it under fiction for women and one has it under drama, for example. Bishop writes on a computer but does her editing on hard copy, finding it easier to pick up mistakes on paper than a computer screen. Every day she writes some new words and strives to write 1,000 words a day and would like to write 2,000 words a day. “I always get people telling me they want to write but they don’t want to start,” said Bishop. “I invite everyone to write now and don’t worry about what, just start.” And after publishing a novel under

her pen name, Toni Sheridan, in the category of Christian inspirational romance, and being part of editing teams on anthologies, this is the first time to put her real name on something besides her columns in this newspaper once a month. The reason for having a pen name was so she could write books that were a different genre than what she wants to write as herself. Readers will have expectations about books by their favourite writers and expect to read a certain genre from that person. If that writer moves to a different genre under the same name, it can be a disappointment for readers to not find what they expected between the covers. Bishop has another title in the works under her own name and another one forthcoming under her pen name. She says there will be an official book launch for Bigger Things this fall. More details will be coming on that in the future. Bigger Things is on sale at Misty River Books and online in every digital MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO format.

Former resident kicks off music career By MARGARET SPEIRS A FORMER Terrace resident who excelled at dancing is now shifting her focus to singing and pursuing her dream career with the release of her first video. Rebekah Asselstine, 24, released her first music video, A Night to Forget, Aug. 1 online and at a release party at the Venue Nightclub in Vancouver after nine months of working on it. The video premiere was “fantastic,” she said. “I’m in a very happy place and blessed and at this point, I just have to keep moving forward with what I have planned.” She did it under her performing name, BEXX, an obvious choice for her as it’s been her nickname pretty much all her life, she said. “It’s taken a long, long time. I did the music video nine months ago. It’s a start. It’s an opening to the next chapter kind of things,” she said. She moved to Vancouver from Terrace in 2009 when she was accepted by professional dance school Modus Operandi into a program of contemporary dancebased training and she’s been in Vancouver ever since. Her journey to releasing her first music video began when her manager at the time heard her singing in the car and told her she needed

to get into a recording studio right away. Networking is the key and word of mouth led to the opportunities she’s had so far. The door opened to her making a demo and writer/producer Troy Samson began penning her a song. “He was intrigued by my voice and personality,” she said. “[He said] ‘you like to have fun, you’re from a small town.’ I used to party a lot. I had fun and I grew up dancing.” She recorded the song and about a week later, she got the edit back and started to notice things she wanted to improve and change about it. Then the realization hit her that she could be a singer. “I can make a career for myself if I really, really, really want to and want to work my ass off,” she said. Up until then, she had no vocal training so she started training with vocal coach Judith Rabinovitch and Josh Ramsay from the pop rock band Marianas Trench. That was all in 2013. Her voice and knowledge now are much different, “night and day” from where she started, she said. She has travelled back and forth to Los Angeles for the last two years for acting and singing. “Definitely I’m learning who I am and what I need to do,” she said. Even though she didn’t write the song in her first video, she did

envision what she wanted out of it and where it could take her. “I just took it and ran for it,” she said. Emma Higgins, who has directed Marianas Trench videos among other artists, directed the video and her partner David Angelski produced it. “They’re a fantastic team and really took my vision and made it come to life and it was the best camera team and best editing team,” she said, adding Higgins edited it. The video shows you can go out and be whoever you want, and do whatever you want and go home and forget about it, she said. “I believe everyone should have equal rights to everything, no matter what kind of human, sexual preference, style,” she said. “The video is full of people doing whatever they want to do and having a good time. It was the funnest day of my life to this day.” Being a pop star is something everyone thinks would be cool and pretends to be in their room or they sing in the shower, but it’s come to life for her. “I love getting all glamorous and looking entirely different,” she said. “I get to do this night once a year and that will last me a year,” she added about her video premiere. At the end of the day, she shows

In the video, she sings, acts and dances and although pop music isn’t the genre she always wants to be in, it’s a good starting outlet, she

said. Her music genre of choice is more of an underground electronic, indie sound. And since the video was made nine months ago, it’s different from what she’s doing now but was a good first step.

Sally Ann welcomes new majors By MARGARET SPEIRS

TERRACE

THE SALVATION Army here welcomes new majors to lead it. Majors Warrick and Lucy Pilgrim started their positions here in July, taking over for Majors Dave and Rosa Moulton, who retired at the end of June. “We’re old but brand new here, recycled,” said Lucy. The Pilgrims came here from London, Ontario and are loving it. “We’re overwhelmed really with the generosity of the community with volunteers and donations,” said Lucy. “It’s a real credit to the community spirit,” said Warrick. He noted noting that they have seen communities who help out with donations and volunteering but it’s “so amazing” here. And the friendliness of people here has made an impression too. It’s as if the people you meet are ones you’ve known forever, said Lucy. Until two years ago, they had never been west of Ontario, but two years ago filled in up in

MAJORS WARRICK and Lucy Pilgrim are newly appointed to the Salvation Army here after Majors Dave and Rosa Moulton retired from the army at the end of June. Grande Prairie, Alberta for a while before heading back east. The couple has been with the Salvation Army for about 50 years, starting with the Sally Ann when they went to college in Newfoundland in the mid-1960s and then were commissioned, which means ordained, into the Sally Ann. They retired six

years ago, but offered to help out when needed. Warrick and Lucy have four children and eight grandchildren and a new grandchild on the way. People often wonder why they wear their uniforms around so much, but Lucy says they’re “old school” and have worn it for so many years, they feel comfortable in the

“It’s going to be cool to look back at it one day and say “wow, look at that and look where I’m at now,” she said. This past July, she went to Los Angeles, and spent a week writing songs and recorded four songs in five days. Balancing her relationship with her family, friends and boyfriend isn’t easy because it’s easy to get sucked into the career part of life but she tries to stay connected to ev-

uniform, like how other people have clothing they feel most comfortable in. Plus the clothes help identify them to the public. A man once came up to Lucy and put his arm around here and started taking to her, something he wouldn’t have done if she wasn’t wearing the uniform, she said. “People know the

eryone as much as she can. They’re all her support team. “Proud parents, that’s for sure and I could not have done it without them for sure,” she said. “They definitely always knew I would do it and not once doubted it. If they did, they would tell me,” she said, adding she told her family when she was young that no matter what, she would act, dance and sing. She’s invested a lot to get to this point and is willing to go as far as it takes.

army that way: [that] we’re here to help,” she said. Warrick intends to go fishing here, saying he fished some back in Newfoundland but has never seen such huge fish as he did at the recent fishing derby. They love the beauty of the area and plan to travel out to see Prince Rupert soon.

“I’m willing to risk everything,” she said about her singing career. “What’s the worst that can happen? At least I can try it and say I did it once and I’m happy I did it because if I didn’t do it, I would’ve felt very incomplete,” she said. She is taking time off now and has writing sessions booked for September to finish her EP.

As most Terrace people remember in the 1960s, my company, Bob’s Welding and Machine Works Ltd., now Karrer Holdings Ltd., designed and manufactured logging equipment. It acquired the Hayes truck dealership until approximately 1969 when my company down sized from 28 employees to 12 and built the present day Terrace Steel building. For six years this property accommodated Columbia Cellulose’s entire logging operations prior to their move to the Kalum reload shop. Several other companies, Saunders Trucking, Ed Penner Trucking, River Industries, Fountain Tire and Pro-Paints, all served Terrace over the years from this popular corner.

sq. ft. building will immediately become a detriment to this attractive corner property and therefore demand relocation. With this in mind it becomes obvious that these two overpass questions are continuing to block my rental and sales opportunities. I need to know now not next month or next year so I can stop turning away potential customers that I have been waiting years for. Since the logging industry crashed this property has been in survival mode which forced me to offer all possible floor space for storage. Kondola’s Furniture has been a valued customer in this regard and will be moving to their new store in a month or so. This will make this building available soon to anyone interested. To continue warehouse storage on this major corner would be an insult to the property’s potential as well as the entrance to the city. With all due respect I would appreciate if the Terrace business community would voice their opinion on this matter for the benefit of all concerned. R. B. (Bob) Karrer, Smithers, B.C.

Wait times for court exceed set standards By MARGARET SPEIRS

TERRACE HAS returned to a spot among the top 10 cities in the province with a longer than acceptable delay in time to get to a provincial court trial. That’s according to the latest update to the Time to Trial report, dated March 31. It highlights that Terrace takes nine months to get to the start of an adult criminal two-day trial when the provincial standard, as set out by the Office of the Chief Judge, is eight months. It puts the city in second place tied with Kitimat and Chetwynd. For child protection hearings, time to trial sees Terrace at four months to get to the start of a case conference and to get to a half day trial. The standard is two months from initial document filing to the case conference date and three months from the case conference to the first available halfday trial. Terrace shows up in the top spot for small claims trials at nine months to get from the settlement conference to a two day or more trial. That puts Terrace tied with Robson Square, the main court complex in downtown Vancouver.

The standard for small claims is six months from the settlement conference to the first available date for a two day or more trial. The standards used by the chief judge were developed by the court in 2005 as a benchmark, taking into account the law set out by the Supreme Court of Canada as to what is considered an unreasonable delay under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. “I note that while the Terrace adult twoday trial delay was nine months as of March 31, 2014, that is one month above the standard created by the Office of the Chief Judge,” said Gene Jamieson, legal officer for the Office of the Chief Judge. “It is also is a significant improvement from 2008 when Terrace had a 12-month delay for adult two-day trials.” Through the second half of 2010 and first half of 2011, this delay grew to 13-15 months, he added. In late 2012, Terrace’s delay for lengthy criminal trials began to decrease and through 2013 and the first half of 2014, the delay remained quite steady at eight to nine months (nine months as of March 31, 2014), said Jamieson. When Justice Delayed: A Report of the

Provincial Court of BC Concerning Judicial Resources, was first released, as of September 30, 2010, Terrace was in first place with a 15 month delay to get to trial for adult criminal half-day trials and in second place for adult criminal two-day trials, also with 15 months. In the first example, Terrace was tied with Surrey and in the second, Terrace was tied with Dawson Creek. The city didn’t get any new judges from 2009 to 2013, although

local prosecutor Terence Wright was appointed to the bench in 2012 in Smithers and has sat in Terrace. Judge Calvin Struyk was appointed in March 2008 to replace Ed de Walle who had moved to Salmon Arm in September 2007, after 16 years on the bench here. From 1991 to 2004, Terrace had two sitting judges. When Judge Paul Lawrence retired in 2004, he left the city with one sitting judge, which has continued through 2014.

Seattle, WA – Mount Rainier in Washington State stands 4,392 metres high. Its majestic presence topped off with an icy garnish, as well as wispy tufts of clouds that surround its peak. It leaves onlookers in awe. The crystal white hue of Mercedes-Benz C400 seems to have a similar effect on people. They can’t help but stare. Some take photos. Some admire from up close, some from afar. The C-Class is a staple product in the Mercedes-Benz lineup and is their most popular-selling vehicle in the family. It’s also one that plays a vital role in the Canadian market, one that usually involves snow! ALEXANDRA STRAUB

Do not rely on your mirrors, turn around and look at the trailer. When there is any chance of damage, use a spotter who can tell you to stop before damage occurs. Remember it will get easier with practice. Honest. The way you load the trailer can determine how easy you can tow it. While loading, keep in mind that the tongue weight should be 10 percent to 15 percent of the overall trailer weight. One of the main causes of trailer sway is not having a large enough percentage of trailer tongue weight compared to gross trailer weight. To help prevent the trailer from swaying back and forth, a few things can be done. Try placing heavier cargo in the front of the trailer, ahead of the trailer’s axle. Also center the cargo left to right and use tie downs to keep the load from sliding. Trailer Sway can also lead to a loss of vehicle control. When starting out with a new load on a trailer, make sure it will not sway by gradually increasing your speed in intervals until highway speed is reached. If the trailer does begin to sway, try adjusting the cargo and equipment accordingly and then repeat the test. If repositioning the load and equipment did not help reduce the sway, a sway control or a weight distribution system with sway control may be needed. Trailer sway can be a scary experience, especially if it is a large trailer. If this happens, do not panic. Take your foot off the accelerator and coast to a slower speed; avoid sudden movements of the steering wheel. Apply the brakes slowly when you are down to a safe speed. Check your hitch ball, coupler, and safety chains every time you tow. Many people with long trailer experience use a checklist to be sure all equipment is hooked up and in good condition. Damage can happen quickly when something goes wrong. For example, safety chains wear through very quickly if they are in contact with the pavement.

for other vehicles. Leave a little extra room between you and the vehicle in front of you. Even if you are using trailer brakes, you will not be able to stop nearly as fast as you can without a trailer. A good general rule is to double the two-second rule, making sure you maintain at least a four-second gap between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. For heavier trailers, you will need to leave even more space. The longer the trailer, the further you will have to drive straight into intersections before beginning your turns. Watch your mirrors carefully and go extra wide, at first, until you get used to it. When approaching a hill, you will want to keep your speed consistent whether you are going up a hill or down. When descending, be extra careful not to overwork your brakes. Use a lower gear that will keep a consistent speed without constant use of the brakes. Pull off the road occasionally to let your brakes cool and to check your trailer brakes. Stay focused on your driving and do not try to perform other tasks. Remember to check your rear view mirror frequently, relax and enjoy the drive. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until September 2, 2014.

Classy as can be or is that C? continued from page A17

While the all-new C-Class isn’t covered in snow (just yet), it can certainly handle it with minimal effort. All C-Class sedans come standard with Mercedes’ 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. Though it’s summertime and that feature isn’t being put to use, there are plenty of other new fun things to play with in this five-person sedan. First off, five people will fit more comfortably inside. It’s larger in every dimension compared to outgoing CClass. Then you’ll be able to bring out that smile more often when it comes to accelerating. There are two all-new 4- and 6-cylinder

turbocharged engines from which to choose. The C300 features a turbocharged 2.0L, 4-cylinder that produces 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. (Note, this isn’t the same engine currently found in the CLA or GLA. Then there’s the C400. With 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, this new V6 has more torque and better fuel economy in comparison with the outgoing 2014. Both engines are paired with a 7G-TRONIC transmission. Whether using the steering wheel paddle shifters or just letting the car change the gears on its own, you also have the ability to change your driving modes thanks to the AGILITY SELECT system that gives you five choices. There’s Eco, Normal, Sport, Sport+, and Individual.

The modes are self-explanatory. Driving in the city and want to save more fuel? Pop it in Eco mode. Heading to a track and want the best access to power? That’s a Sport+ kind of day. My weapon of choice, even for everyday driving, was the Sport mode. It gives the vehicle enough edge to make it fun and exciting, but without the harshness and abrupt gear changes that would be better suited for the track. In Sport mode, the modified shifts and throttle response was sensitive enough to add immediate power but not overwhelming, especially in an urban setting. Then there was the steering response, whose curve is adjusted to give you a better grasp for the road, but without the abruptness, a Sport mode could potentially offer.

PURCHASE FINANCING

Regardless, whether I was in the 300 or 400, I was a happy driver. And I had a happy passenger because we both sat in comfort for the hundreds of kilometres we put on this next generation sedan. Along with its new interior and exterior look, the C Classes are equipped with the next generation of infotainment systems. That comes complete with Touchpad, integrated Media Interface and MB Apps. The touchpad and I still need more bonding time. I found it confusing to use at first and I ended up pressing buttons I shouldn’t have! But if that’s the harshest criticism of the vehicle I have, it’s not doing too badly. Okay, the B pillars are quite wide and intrude on my blind spot visibility, but again, properly adjusting the mirrors

and a shoulder glance will eliminate those anxieties. When it comes to driving, it checks off all the boxes necessary to make it a luxury sedan. It’s quiet. Road and engine noises are kept at bay. Its interior materials are soft touch and pleasing to the eyes. And it feels great to drive at slow or high speeds. The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, should continue to impress, remain the top-seller and make people smile, one acceleration or turn at a time.

available for that fire to burn,” she said. The dry heat summer has brought has sucked the moisture out of the green vegetation as well as any plant matter on the forest floor, such as fallen logs, making it easier for them to ignite. Although the total number of fires this season is at 1,118 and well below the ten year average of 1,367, Pojar said it’s still too early to determine whether the hot weather has a correlation with the flames. “It’s definitely been hot,” she said, something anyone who has been outside can probably agree with. July alone felt a heat wave that lasted longer

By CAITLIN CLOW TERRACE HAS experienced an unusually hot summer this year with at least three heat waves with temperatures maxing at 33º Celsius so far. Forest service fire information officer Olivia Pojar recognized that this summer has been a hot one and noted that it’s been an especially dry season. “There hasn’t been a whole lot of precipitation, especially in the Northwest, but that dryness has helped dry out the forest fuel and a result of that is that we’re seeing extreme fire behaviours because there is so much more fuel

than any felt last year. A five-day stretch on the week of the 11th had Terracites fleeing to the beach to cool down. Meanwhile, last summer only witnessed one four-day heat wave, but temperatures never exceeded 33 degrees. The first few days of August also hit the thirties giving those who checked out Riverboat Days some well earned sunburns. Now, temperatures are expected to stay in the high twenties and low thirties for the next few days making this week the third—but likely not the last—of the heat this season. Terrace has seen hotter days, in fact, in

2009 the mercury hit 36.5º C—it hasn’t been that hot since 1971. And the day before was even hotter with 37.1 degrees, which missed the record temperature by .1 of a degree, according to the Weather Network. This 2009 hot spell was felt across the province and it cooked Penticton up to an unbearable 40º Celsius. The best advice for surviving the heat is invest in a fan, wear loads of sunscreen – and remember to reapply – wear a hat, long sleeves, seek shade, stay hydrated and don’t complain too much because in only a matter of time things will cool off.

Tony Bryan October 13, 1946 - August 13, 2014 With deep sorrow we tell you of the sudden passing of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend. Tony passed peacefully in his sleep after a short fight with cancer. He leaves behind his loving wife and best friend Deanne. Four children Tony Jr, Charlotte, Angela and Ian. Two stepchildren Dwayne and Michelle Doherty. Six grandchildren Mikayla, Matthew, Alexis, Wyatt, Keira and Jacob. Brothers Don and Paul and sister Susie. His beloved pets, Candi and Newf and many more family and friends. I would like to thank everybody for the phone calls, messages, flowers and cards. A special thank you to Judy, Christine and Carol. Without you Iâ€™m not sure I could have gotten through this. Thank you to the Doctors and Nurses at Mills Memorial Hospital for all your kindness, help and support. Tony loved animals. He worked for a Vet and then later worked for both Animal Shelters. He loved to sing and play the guitar every chance he got. One of his favorite things was to walk Ferry Island with his dog and any other dog he could get his hands on. My love, you will be missed deeply. Twenty one years just wasnâ€™t enough. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Tonyâ€™s name to Helping Hands of Terrace and both Animal Shelters. A celebration of life will be announced soon.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

District of Stewart | Flood & High Groundwater Mitigation Plan BACKGROUND Stewart’s precarious location next to the Bear River has exposed the community to increasing levels of flood risk and is drowning local utilities. The impacts of the 2011 major flood event still resonate with the community and the high-energy river is building itself up at a rapid rate. A dyke currently protects the community and ongoing efforts to dredge sections of the river have been undertaken to counteract the rapidly aggrading river bed. However, the ability of the dyke to withstand future high-water events is in question while the impact of dredging efforts is unknown. Further, due to the nature of the permeable gravel soils the town is built upon, the rising riverbed levels have caused nearby groundwater levels in the town to rise. The rising groundwater table is burying utilities, flooding basements and making infrastructure improvements cost prohibitive. The District of Stewart will receive financial support from the UBCM-federal Gas Tax Capacity Building Program to develop a Flood & High Groundwater Mitigation Plan to investigate options to address the increasing flood threat and negative impacts on local infrastructure. Ultimately, the rapidly aggrading Bear River poses a significant flood threat jeopardizing the safety of the Stewart community and this study will enable the District to grapple with the implications of its proximity to such an active waterway. SCOPE OF WORK The District is seeking proposals from qualified consulting teams to undertake a Flood and High Groundwater Mitigation Plan. Please refer to the PROJECT OVERVIEW and Gas Tax grant application below for a thorough overview of the key issues and proposed solutions. The objective of the project will be to conduct the required assessments and engineering analysis to develop a plan to address the increasing flood threat and negative impacts on local infrastructure from the high groundwater table due to the aggradation of the Bear River. The main objective of the project will be to develop a plan that identifies options and the necessary actions required to mitigate the flood threat posed by Bear River and lower groundwater levels by halting or reversing River aggradation (or alternate engineered means). In addition to a hydro-technical study component to assess the Bear River’s hydrology and flood profile, the project will focus on flood mitigation options. A review of dyke upgrades and the effectiveness of gravel management will be key components of the investigation. Yet the main goal is to look for more effective alternatives, particularly at processes going on at the mouth of the river and options to restore the river’s natural flow patterns. The project will seek innovative solutions to reduce the impact on the environment and the economy, while balancing the need to mitigate river aggradation. Project Deliverables: • Re-assess the river’s hydrologic regime and flood profiles (last assessed in 1999, recommended every 5 years) • Review of gravel deposition/geomorphologic regime since 1999 • Geotechnical analysis to characterize existing dike condition at key locations, and review and establish design criteria for dike upgrades • Review gravel management efforts and recommend target thresholds for gravel removal • Assess interaction between rising river levels and groundwater levels & recommend options to mitigate high groundwater levels • Explore options to manage sedimentation processes to encourage deposition over a broader portion of the delta, including restoring the natural flow patterns of the Bear River, and provide a recommended course of action and conceptual design • Review community development patterns and suggest recommendations for flood-proofing new developments • Outline costs and logistics to implement recommendations • Suggest project phasing and implementation options • Preparation and presentation of Flood & High Groundwater Management Plan Mitigation options should be emphasized while the hydro-technical component should play a lesser role in the study. A review of dyke upgrades and the effectiveness of gravel management (compared with the high costs of extraction) will be key components of the investigation. Yet the main goal is to look for more effective alternatives, particularly at processes going on at the mouth of the river, including breaching the Arrow causeway, re-aligning the main channel to distribute the river’s outflow over a wider area, or other options that balance flood protection with the commercial uses of the port area. BUDGET The District has approximately $250,000 for the project. Funding is being generously provided through a UBCM-Federal Gas Tax initiative Capacity Building grant. SUPPORTING MATERIALS - Project Overview: Flood & High Groundwater Mitigation Plan - UBCM-Federal Gas Tax Capacity Building grant application - Hay & Company, Bear River Estuary Hydrology & Geomorphology, Ministry of Lands, Parks and Housing, 1986 - Lauga & Associates, Master Plan for Port Development in Stewart, 2008 - McElhanney Consulting Ltd. District of Stewart Stormwater Management Plan, 2011 - Golder Associates, Gravel Aggradation and Dyke Freeboard Assessment for Stewart BC, 2000 TIMELINE There is flexibility in the project schedule. The District would prefer to allow time for effective investigation and analysis over a period of time as opposed to an intensive time-constrained process. A general schedule would be to start following a successful award of contract in the fall and wrap up by the following winter (December 2015). AWARD Proposals will be evaluated based on the consulting team’s experience with other significant hydrological engineering projects, their value for money and the quality of the proposal, specifically around solutions to address the flood and high groundwater issues faced by the District. SUBMISSION DEADLINE Questions can be directed to, and submissions should reach, the undersigned contact by no later than 4:30pm PST September 22, 2014.

Gran Fondo cruises on BLAME IT on the rain. A rainy Sunday morning may have had something to do with less than stellar numbers at the annual Terrace Gran Fondo, which toured from Northwest Community College up Hwy37 alongside the Nisga’a lava beds and Kalum Lake Aug. 10. But those who participated in the 20 kilometre, 80 kilometre, or 160 kilometre rides saw the weather clear up as the day went along, enough to enjoy an afternoon ice cream break at the Rosswood General Store.

“Everything was organized for more people, we had a ton of great organization around it, support from the community and our sponsors,” said organizer Bruce Martindale of Terrace Off Road Cycling Association. “We set it up to be a grow race. We worked with highways to formulate a plan that would accommodate [the different race lengths], but then the rain hit Sunday morning and I think people just didn’t come, which is unfortunate because by the afternoon when more of the recreational stuff

Northmen recognized The Terrace Northmen Rugby Club toasted to the end of another successful season at an awards ceremony and end-of-year affair Aug. 9 at Boston Pizza.

was happening, it was gorgeous.” But Martindale says the stage is now set for future rides. “We’re set up to do more. We’re happy with the organization around it, the people that came out had a great time and we’ll do it like that again.” One vision for the future fondo is for it to be the finale to a whole weekend of bike festivities – maybe coinciding with Riverboat Days – that could see more cash prizes, kids’ races, a crit-style road bike race at the Skeena Middle

School track, and a mountain bike race. And while it is a long distance race, it’s not meant to be intimidating. This year saw kids ride with their parents for the 20 kilometre ride – and there’s no harm in turning around if the route seems intimidating, he said. “We’re not saying you have to go the distance but we’re saying you can look to the distance,” he said. “We want that to be a community ride really, we don’t want it to be a race so much as a participatory ride.”

NORTHERN HOOPS basketball camp returns to Terrace this year for the sixth time, featuring coaches and alumni from the UNBC Timberwolves basketball program.

Ormerod stays golden at nat’ls By CAITLIN CLOW TERRACE'S OWN Marek Omerod proved he was a good pick for Team BC's U16 basketball roster as they took home the gold in the 2014 Western Canadian Championships after taking down Manitoba 58 to 41. “I was out on the floor when the last buzzer went and then everyone came streaming in,” 16-year-old Omerod said. “I saw friends and everyone jumping up and down shouting 'we're number one!'” Hugh Omerod, Marek's father, said the team was constructed based solely on the skills of players that would lead them to the nationals. “Marek's role was definitely a defensive role,” he said, “that's one of his strengths.” Standing at 5'11, Marek is the short one on the team playing against guys towering over him at 6'4. “I was really undersized for what I was playing, so I had to use more subtle advantages,” Marek said, “so a little elbows here and there.” The championships were held in Edmonton, Alta. at the end of July and the round robin had Team BC's U16 Boys competing against Nova Scotia, Yukon, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. The first game played was against Nova Scotia and the score was close until Team BC took them by six points, they went on to play Manitoba in the second round and they were down by 18 but they came back to beat them by 2 points. Alberta was left in the dust

t’s not the destination, it’s the journey. I walk one of the long halls through YVR stopping on my way at a concession stand to buy a sausage roll and a jar of tomato juice. As I sit down on a high stool and prepare to watch jets jockey for position on the Tarmac as I munch on my roll, a young lady sitting at the next table with her partner gets up to buy something else, spots me and says, hi Rob. I recognize her as someone who worked in Cassie Hall School during the D.V. Shaw administration. I ask where she’s headed. Toronto, she tells me. We’re going to see the Kiss concert, says her husband. Kiss – they must be in their seventies by now. No, the man assures me, they’re a lot younger than that. An image of my son dressing up as the lizard-tongued, Gene Simmons on Hallowe’en pops into my mind. My son is now 40, colourfully tattooed and playing in his own band, a metal/punk crew called All Out Panic, so I’m skeptical. While his wife is in the concession queue, her husband and I talk. He’s a year away from retiring from CN at 55, and looking forward to it. I wish him a safe trip and wish them a happy concert, then shoulder my back pack and guitar and leisurely stroll to my gate.

of the Omerod's and he has been working with Marek for the past five years. “Terry is probably the best trainer in B.C., or at least I'd have to say,” Marek said. The two hit the gym everyday and they go to Parkside to work on basketball skills. “Nobody that I've played against my size are as strong,” Marek said, “no one can move me around, but I can push guys that are like 6'4 out of key because I have an explosiveness that was taught to me.” He values preparedness as well as hard work, he explained, “working hard puts you in positions that better develop yourself against better and bigger players,” he said. Marek is not only talented on the court, he's also talented in the classroom. He is two years ahead of his peers and he is set to graduate from Caledonia High School in the spring. He hopes to get a scholarship for basketball so he can study pre-med. “I just want to get a scholarship so I can go to school,” he said, “really, my focus is academic — I'm an academic kind of person.” He was jazzed that his team took home the gold last month, but he said as soon as it was over he put the experience behind him so he can concentrate on the future and keep moving forward. He returns to school at Caledonia in the fall and will play for the basketball team and keep training so he can get onto the U17 team next year. “At the moment I was ecstatic with the way that we played and the way we finished the tournament,” he said, “It was a great way to end the summer.”

our instruments and board the Hawk. We take our seats and sweat. The plane fills. I find myself next to Daryl, who grew up in Terrace. We talk about a lot of things – the mining disaster in the Cariboo, helicopters, fishing, living at the lake, what it was like growing up Terrace. At one point, he recalls how the mountains in the Kalum Range used to be snow capped year round. As we descend into Terrace, I look at the distant mountains. There is barely a fleck of snow anywhere. From high up we can see by its wide gravel bars that the Kitimat is almost a trickle. The seats around us are filled with corpulent Americans wearing ball caps and wrap around shades. Goin’ fishin’? asks another passenger when the Hawk is on the ground. Yeah. Where? On the Skeena. At Komahom Lodge. Where you from? I ask, as they fish their luggage from the overhead compartments. Orlando Florida, says one. Big change in climate, I guess. No, he says, it was the same temperature there as it is here and just as humid. As we cross the Older Bridge, I look down on a Skeena that is blue and almost as low as it is in mid-winter. And I think of the mountains of Daryl’s youth and the temperature in Orlando and the fact that Terrace used to be the fourth wettest city in Canada. All this gives me an uneasy feeling.

Second fire at complex A WEEK after a blaze destroyed a threeunit housing structure making three families homeless, a fire hit another unit of the Skeena Kalum Housing complex in the evening Aug. 11. The flames were contained just in the one unit and everyone got out safely, said fire chief John Klie. “It looked like it started up in a bedroom,” said Klie. The residents threw water on the fire but it became quite smoky and they had to leave the building, he added. The 17 firefighters put it out quite quickly as the fire itself wasn’t very big, but there was a lot of smoke damage, Klie said. Terrace RCMP and the fire investigator were conducting a joint investigation to determine cause, he said. Shortly after midnight, Aug. 5, 20 Terrace and Thornhill firefighters arrived to find a housing unit fully engulfed in flames with a big ball of flames coming from the front of the building, also in Skeena Kalum Housing complex. The Terrace fire investigator and Terrace RCMP were unable to determine the cause of that fire. “All I can add is that we are able to say that the fire started in the carport of one of the units where a couch

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Brucejack Gold Mine Project

Public Comment Period and Information Sessions Pretium Resources Inc. is proposing the construction, operation and decommissioning of a gold-silver underground mine located approximately 65 kilometres north-northwest of Stewart, British Columbia (B.C.). The proposed project would produce approximately 16 million tonnes of mineralized material at a rate of up to 2,700 tonnes per day over a minimum 22-year mine life. The Brucejack Gold Mine Project is subject to review under both the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012) and B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Act and is undergoing a coordinated environmental assessment process. Public Comment Period The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) and B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) are inviting the public to comment on the ongoing environmental assessment of the Brucejack Gold Mine Project. The Proponent has recently submitted its Application / Environmental Impact Statement (Application / EIS) which describes the project and the potential environmental, heritage, health, social, and economic effects of all phases of the project. The Application / EIS, as well as a summary of the document and additional information regarding the environmental assessment process, are available online at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca and at www.eao.gov.bc.ca.

Red Chris tailings review proposed THE TAHLTAN Central Council has yet to decide if it’ll accept a proposal to have an independent third party conduct a review of the tailings pond design for the almost-completed Red Chris copper mine. The offer was made by mine owner Imperial Metals last week in response to a blockade by a faction of the Tahltan Nation of the $631 million development which is located on Tahltan traditional territory south of Dease Lake. Provincial mines minister Bill Bennett, who met with Tahltan Central Council leaders and other Tahltan last week, said Imperial Metals has agreed to pay for the study and that the central council can choose who will conduct it. Bennett said he won’t allow the Red Chris mine to open without the review first being satisfactory to the Tahltan leadership. “Everyone seemed satisfied except for the few folk on the blockade,” said Bennett of the meeting he attended in Iskut Aug. 13, adding that there has always been some Tahltan who opposed the Red Chris development from the start. The blockade went up Aug. 8, chiefly under the sponsorship of a group called the Klabona Keepers which, in the past, has opposed other mining development and drilling for methane gas in the Klappan area considered culturally important to Tahltan people. Those on the blockade said they were worried about the Red Chris tailings pond in light of the failure of the one at the Mount Polley copper and gold mine in the Cariboo which is also owned by Imperial Metals. The Tahltan Central Council has said it does not endorse the blockade. And in an Aug. 14 statement, the council said it will be speaking with Tahltan members. “Before making any decisions regarding the proposed Red Chris Mine, and to ensure that new questions and concerns about the proposed mine are thoroughly addressed, the Tahltan Central Council will be carefully consid-

ering all aspects of what Imperial Metals and the province are offering, consulting with their membership, and diligently monitoring the appropriateness, transparency, and timeliness of the actions Imperial and the province take in response to the Mt. Polley situation,” said the statement. The Red Chris mine, which will use power

from BC Hydro’s justfinished Northwest Transmission Line, is being regarded as a foundation for economic development in the region. Imperial has contracted with Tahltanowned companies during construction of the mine and has hired Tahltan people to work there. As of late last week,

Imperial has not added its own information concerning the offer, as outlined by Bennett, to finance an independent study. But company official Steve Robertson was quoted as saying it still needs to obtain a permit for the Red Chris tailings pond prior to ore processing starting up. In any event, the mine is still some weeks

away from being ready to open. Weather this past winter and problems with equipment have delayed the completion of a power line being built for Imperial. It’s referred to as the Iskut extension and runs north of the end of the Northwest Transmission Line at Bob Quinn to a point where a smaller line branches

off to the mine location. “Due to delays ... the completion of the Iskut extension is now anticipated to be in September 2014. Commissioning and startup of the Red Chris milling operations will follow the energization of the site,” Imperial stated in its second quarter of 2014 financial report released Aug. 14. The report also in-

dicated Imperial is due this week to bring an ore crusher and conveyors into operation. “Mining operations have commenced at Red Chris with the first excavation of ore grade material from the East zone,” the financial report said. “This material is being stockpiled for commencement of milling operations,” it added.

Kidney transplant changed her life Thandi was excited, but she had been told by doctors in Prince George that a lot of people would want to help and they will come forward, but only a small percentage will actually go through with the donation procedure. “Megan went ahead on her own and was tested and it wasn't until we found out that we were a match that I was like, 'wow, you're really going to go through with this,'” Thandi said. The two had to undergo physical and psychological assessments in Vancouver and Megan passed with flying colours, explained Thandi. “It was really easy, I never had any second thoughts about it,” Hoole said adding that the surgery aspect of the donation wasn't a concern to her at all as she had been under the knife a few times before. Hoole and Thandi were booked into an operating room within three weeks of the examination and the surgery was complete with no complications. Thandi stayed in an apartment in Vancouver while she recovered with her husband and mother keeping her company. She returned home to Terrace three weeks ago. She was released early due to her speedy recovery. Hoole stayed in Vancouver for five days post-op and then returned home to Terrace to finish recovering. “The first couple of weeks were the toughest, but I feel good,” Hoole said. “I'm back to normal now, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything,” adding that the scars are minimal so that's a bonus. As for their relationship, Hoole said they are definitely closer. “I will always keep an eye on her,” she said. Now that both of them are home, happy and healthy they can see just how eye-opening this experience was for them. “If this could happen to me than it could happen to anybody,” Thandi said. Hoole and Thandi both agree that those in need of a donation shouldn't shy away from seeking help or support

from friends and family. “You never know where it's going to come from,” Hoole said. “More and more people

are realizing that it's a fairly common surgery, and they're pretty good at it now.” She added that her health benefits

plan had a donor leave option so she could take the time off work without losing pay, she suggested that those inter-

ested in donating check their plans as well. “I would totally encourage people thinking about doing it to do-

ing it. For me it didn't matter how close I was whether it was an acquaintance or someone close to me,” Hoole

said. “Plus, I know this has totally changed her life for a while. And she's not missing dialysis at all.”
