Tahltan, gov’t close to mine deal THE TAHLTAN Nation and the provincial government are close to finalizing a deal to provide a share of the millions of dollars in mineral revenue taxation the province will collect from the Red Chris copper and gold mine owned by Imperial Metals. Located on Tahltan traditional territory off of Hwy37 North near Iskut, the mine is in its final stages of reaching normal production and has

already been shipping out ore concentrate. A draft agreement has already been reached and the parties now have to ratify the document. Terms were not released but similar mineral tax agreements signed by the province with other First Nations for other mines provide them with anywhere from 12.5 to 37.5 per cent of what the province collects. “We anticipate the agree-

ment will be ratified within the next few months,” a statement from the provincial government indicated. On the Tahltan side, it must be ratified by the Tahltan Central Council, the Iskut Band at Iskut and the Tahltan Band at Dease Lake and Telegraph Creek. This would be the second such mineral tax agreement signed by the province in northwestern B.C. The first, signed with the

Nisga’a Nation last year, will provide it with an estimated $43 million in tax revenues over the projected 16 year life of the planned Avanti Kitsault molybdenum mine. The mineral tax revenue agreement follows another revenue sharing deal agreed to by Tahltan Nation members two weekends ago with the Imperial Metals subsidiary which is operating the Red Chris mine.

This agreement sets out a goal of 40 per cent direct Tahltan employment at the mine, other employment and business opportunities, environmental monitoring and payments to be made by the mine to the Tahltan Nation. The agreement was approved by 86.9 per cent of the 495 Tahltan members who voted out of an eligible voting pool of 2,100 people. Tahltan Central Council president Chad Day noted

that the agreement contains environmental protection conditions. “The agreement also brings local jobs, careers and training for our people and their families. That’s good for our nation and it’s good for the mine,” he said. One of the environmental oversight provisions is protection for mine employees who wish to report incidents or concerns.

Major hockey tourney bid being prepared THE AREA could play host to a national aboriginal hockey championship tournament in 2017 provided a bid being prepared is successful. Eight female and eight male teams of players in their mid to late teens from across Canada along with coaches and others would be expected to attend, says Terrace city councillor Brian Downie, a member of a committee which has been exploring the idea of hosting the tournament. The bantam/midget level National Aboriginal Hockey Championships have been held since 2001 and Downie expects more than 500 people would travel here. “I think this is an exciting opportunity,” said Downie in comparing the tournament to the hosting here in 2010 of the BC Winter Games, an event which harnessed a huge amount of volunteer participation. As many as 44 games would be played, taking up approximately 120 hours of hockey at the Terrace Sportsplex’s two rinks over a week-long period. “It would be a pretty busy place,” said Downie of the sportsplex. This year’s tournament began April 27 in Halifax and lasts until May 2. The 2013 and 2014 tournaments were held in Kahnawake, Quebec. The local committee, which includes Kitselas and Kitsumkalum, the Kermode Friendship Centre, the Kermode Tourism Society and the Terrace Minor Hockey Association, has until today to submit a letter of intent which would then be followed by a comprehensive bid package.

Homeless count increases Terrace Standard Wednesday, April 29, 2015

The damp shelter is the only shelter option for those who are intoxicated. There is another option, the cells at the local RCMP detachment, and some homeless regard that as a viable location during the winter months. “Some people try to get sent to the drunk tank on purpose,” said one of the homeless counters. The team included new volunteer recruits Keisha Stevens and Adrienne Goodridge who are both students at Northwest Community College. Also on the team were people who helped with the count last year – Suzi MacDonald, Julie Mahil and Tracy Spencer who are also social work students at NWCC and UNBC. Watson said the majority of homeless are in that situation because they have been unable to find housing. But others have long ago learned to live outdoors and have done so much of their lives. One man, age 61, who has been homeless in Terrace for 30 years said, “I did it and I just kept going” after both his parents passed away in his hometown of Greenville. “I learned how to do it, and I kept going,” he said. “My parents taught me how to sur-

vive.” He said there are no resources for the homeless in the Nass Valley that he could take advantage of so he left for Terrace. Another man says he was just released from the hospital and pushes himself around in a wheelchair. “There aren’t many places for people like him,” said Watson. The provincial agency BC Housing does offer accommodation but spaces are always full, he said. This year the homeless count team offered personal comfort bags in return for people doing the survey, including dental hygiene packages, fruits, vegetables and socks; razors and also juice boxes. As was the case last year, the homeless count was financed by the City of Terrace through a grant. Last year, $2,500 was spent and about $1,500 has been set aside this year. The information gathered from the count will go toward discussions being conducted by the city and others on how to increase housing options of all kinds. That discussion includes affordable as well as social housing.

THERE ARE 10 more homeless people on Terrace streets than last year according to the results of this year’s homeless count. Conducted April 21 and 22, a team recorded 74 homeless, up from last year’s final count of 64, which was considered substantially higher than previous estimates. “Maybe it’s the trauma from their background,” said lead organizer Mike Watson from the Terrace and District Community Services Society about why so many don’t have houses to stay in, though the questionnaire did not ask that question specifically. What it did ask was the age of those surveyed, how long they have been homeless, the gender and whether they are aboriginal. Broken down by gender, 29 were women and of those, at least 12 were First Nations. Overall there were 31 First Nations men, however, the nationality of 21 of the total was undisclosed at time of writing. The data indicates a large transient population of homeless, especially considering what Watson figures to be a 30-40 per cent turnover rate since last year.

“Almost half of the people from the count last year we didn’t see again this year,” he said. According to the numbers, the majority were between 40 and 57 years of age, though he couldn’t say why this would be the case. Of the aboriginal men, 21 were over 40 and eight aboriginal women were over 40. Six counters combed behind building, in back alleys, and along riverbanks where the hidden segment of Terrace resides. The count was similar to the one last year except the group was aided by Terrace Youth Residential Services, the youth shelter in Terrace. “We’ve got some new younger ones,” said Watson after hearing word that three youths at the drop-in centre that day had nowhere to live. Like last year many of the homeless people said they had trouble staying in a shelter run by the Ksan House Society because they don’t like the setting or because they are drunk and found that a damp shelter, so-called because it accepts people who have been drinking, closes March 16 which they say is too early.

Kitselas ink pipeline agreement

JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

■■ Powerful work AN ALLTECK Line Contractors crew has been out doing maintenance work under contract to BC Hydro recently. The company has been in the area for several years since it purchased Twin River Power. Allteck itself is owned by Quanta Services, the large American company which also owns Valard, the prime contractor that built BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line.

From front

Tahltan, gov’t close to deal Economic details were not released but similar deals signed by other companies with other First Nations call for the latter to receive two per cent of net smelter royalties from the sale of mine output. Revenue received would go into a trust with disbursements to be made. Imperial Metals vice-president Steve Robertson said the company was happy with the Tahltan approval of the agreement. “[The agreement] establishes the framework for a long-term relationship between the Tahltan people and the company,” he said. There are now 310 directly employed people at the mine, a number that will drop to 280 once work is finished leading to full production this summer. At a goal of 40 per cent Tahltan employment, the direct Tahltan workforce would reach 112 people. “Our direct employment First Nations workforce is above 25 per cent and if our long-term contractors (catering company and Tahltan Nation Development Corporation) are included we are just a shade off 35 per cent,” said Robertson of the current situation.

THE KITSELAS First Nation has added another energy-related economic benefits agreement to its portfolio by signing a deal with pipeline builder Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Ltd., an entity of TransCanada. Prince Rupert Gas Transmission will make an immediate payment and should it build a natural gas pipeline to a planned liquefied natural gas plant near Prince Rupert, annual payments and other payments based on project milestones will follow. That plant, Pacific NorthWest LNG, would be built on Lelu Island and the Kitselas already have an economic benefits agreement that was signed late last year with its owners. Pacific NorthWest LNG’s principal owner is Petronas which itself is owned by the Malaysian government and it has said it will make a final investment decision in June. Financial terms of the deal were not released with Kitselas chief councillor Joe Bevan citing confidentiality clauses within the agreement. The pipeline will start in northeastern B.C. then run through the Hazeltons and down through the Nass Valley before entering the water and then turning south to reemerge at Lelu Island near Port Edward. While the pipeline route is not within Kitselas traditional territory, the First Nation does have an interest because it does travel through a traditional marine harvesting area.

“There has to be a long-term benefit to the Kitselas in terms of employment,”

THE M/V Edward Oldendorff, a brand new ore carrier, loaded up at Stewart this month with the first shipment of concentrate from the Red Chris copper and gold mine. The shipment is bound for Asia where the concentrate will be refined. Terms of the agreement call for preferential Tahltan hiring and a commitment to place Tahltan at every level of mine operations. The agreement does not oblige Tahltan to publicly support the mine which was last year the location of several blockades by Tahl-

tan worried about what would happen should the mine’s tailings pond fail. That prompted an independent study and recommendations to improve the tailings pond engineering. And not in the agreement was any condition requiring the Tahltan Central Council to use

its best efforts to stop Tahltan from delaying or stopping the project. That condition was one of the features of an economic impacts agreement signed between the central council and AltaGas for its Iskut run-of-river hydroelectric projects. “The design of our

agreement was intended to provide a partnership mindset and there is a strong focus on working together. We spent a great deal of time establishing the cooperative language that will direct our actions as we work together,” said Robertson by way of explanation.

“That is why we had bilateral mitigation measures guaranteeing Kitselas would be consulted on the development and the implementation of the management plans, which included marine access and traffic,” said Bevan. Throughout construction, except during heavy construction, the Kitselas will be able to monitor operations and there is an arbitration mechanism in the agreement if they think previous agreements aren’t being met. “It’s our traditional harvesting areas. They are going to try to stay away from the really sensitive areas and that’s why they are going to give us their management plan about how they are going to deal with that and then we are going to set up our monitoring to go down their during construction,” said Bevan. The agreement also outlines the company’s stance on encouraging the First Nation to apply for jobs related to the project. “We would love to see somebody from the Kitselas reserve community say they wanted to become an engineer or work at a pump station full time. The construction jobs are important but we were thinking more of a long-term position. There has to be a long-term benefit to the Kitselas in terms of employment,” said Bevan. In addition to deals with companies, the Kitselas have signed three separate deals with the province for a share of provincial tax revenue that would flow from the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline, the Westcoast Connector Gas Transmission project which would feed a second planned LNG project at Prince Rupert called Prince Rupert LNG and Coastal GasLink, another TransCanada entity which would build a pipeline to a planned LNG plant at Kitimat. “We look forward to working with Kitselas First Nation during construction and operation of the pipeline project,” said Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Ltd. president Dean Patry.

Pay in advance program forges way towards local farming economy

By JOSH MASSEY COMMUNITY FOOD organizers and local farmers Diana Penner and Agatha Jedrzejczyk hope that Terrace can revive its past as a major farming community and create an economy where being a farmer is a legitimate career. “My vision is to have 10 big farms producing for Terrace for people who live in Terrace and which we buy our produce from to secure our future,” says Jedrzejczyk who runs the Kalum Community School Society, an organization that supports several local food programs. Among those programs is an organic farming initiative spearheaded by Diana Penner called Community Supports Agriculture (CSA). In return for a lump sum paid in advance, participants receive approximately five months worth of weekly produce and other foods during the growing and harvest season. Penner grew up on a 30-acre farm located on the rich ground of Braun’s Island, and has returned to take up the hoe again. Decades ago she says Terrace had several larger farms both in the Horseshoe and by the Skeena. Looser agricultural rules allowed farmers to ship out their produce on trains to other markets. Down by the Skeena the natural irrigation works somewhat like a Canadian Nile Delta and the resulting alluvial soils allow farmers to grow all kinds of produce that formed a major source of local staples such as potatoes and cabbage and also fruit on trees which still exist today. The provincial government notes the productivity of Terrace land and the city’s planning maps show large areas zoned for farming that are currently fallow. The Greater Terrace Agricultural Plan which came out in 2013 details the exact amount of land and the location and one of its authors Norma Kerby described the area

According to the provincial government, “the greater Terrace area enjoys growing conditions that are very favourable to the production of: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and root crops such as carrots, beets, turnips, and also leafy greens such as lettuce, spinach, kale, chard. Peas and potatoes also do well.” Today, most area farmers are small hobbyists who sell at the Skeena Valley Farmers Market on Saturdays, says Penner. There’s a larger growing enterprise, the Bahr Farm in Old Remo, which also sells at the market. Penner’s Community Supports Agriculture box distribution is based on a model that has been

successful in countries such as Poland where economic hardship following the end of the Soviet empire forced communities to be self-reliant. Penner grows most herself and also purchases from other local growers for market prices. Last year, she provided 51 different products for a $500 fee. People receive one box of produce a week from June through October. The enterprise lost money last year. In the second year, there were 13 clients, then last year Penner hit 51. At 60 boxes she thinks she would break even and have some money to hire an assistant. But if a farmer could have 200 clients, then he or she would be able to make $25,000 a season which starts to resemble something like a career, Jedrzejczyk calculates.

On paper, the system seems to be a way forward to those wishing to reclaim local farming as a career and Penner is forging ahead to try to prove that it can be done. Jedrzejczyk, who learned about box systems growing up in Poland, said the ongoing drought in California is all the more reason for people to be concerned about the rising prices she has noticed when buying food for another program she runs, the Good Food Box. “We may be cut off from the food from the South; everybody knows California is short of water. And it looks like we will have more rain here than ever, so it looks like we are going to be the land with water. It’s my dream to export lettuce to California,” said Jedrzejczyk. Penner wants to continue to grow all her produce organically

despite the challenges controlling pests. “The benefits and increasing necessity of a locally sustainable food economy are widely documented, however, the hard labour with little financial reward of farming. From a reduction in transportation emissions, increased freshness, to the security of not relying on a global system which balanced precariously in a shifting environmental landscape and creating local jobs, the benefits are palpable.” Penner acknowledges that attracting younger people to a farming career is still a challenge. “We recognize a need for more community, she said. “The old farmers are now old farmers. How do you encourage people to become farmers again? Technically, we could feed the whole town.

vision, and in this newspaper. After all of this publicity, Heritage Park Museum has now given away over 150 runners to people who want to preserve and cultivate this historical fruit. The museum has also started a running list of the people who wish to attain a runner of this strawberry, so give us a call if you would like your name to be added. This heritage berry is located in the organic heritage garden at the museum. This garden houses many other heritage plants which can be directly traced to early settlers, some of which date back more than 100 years. And the stock continues to grow as more people contribute. The museum acquired 10 donations last season. One of these

donations includes banana potatoes that were bred by the Michaud brothers in Thornhill in the early 1900s and donated to us by Ewa Luby, via Emil Froese’s garden. The potatoes have been planted near the Skeena Wonder Strawberry in a recently built potato planter box, which was built by myself and volunteer blacksmith Curtis Hampton. The wood used for the planter was from the old porch on the Kalum Lake Hotel. Dr. Norma Kerby established the garden in the 1980s and continues to help us. Her donations include a Double French Purple Lilac that was originally from Eva and Chris Haugland’s house on Park Avenue, which was built in

1939. This lilac is thought to have been exclusively found in “upper class” ladies’ gardens. Dr. Kerby also donated a Snowball Bush, which was also originally from Eva and Chris Haugland’s garden. The Snowball Bush was passed around by the 1920s and was found in other gardens at that time, such as Bruce and Beatrice Johnstone’s garden who were the first owners of the Lakelse Hot Springs. The preservation of these pioneer plants is important for future generations as it reminds us about the significance of early agriculture and gardening in the Terrace area. The importance cannot be overemphasized: cultural heritage

affirms our identity as a people, creates bonds within communities and is a source of social memory. Heritage Park Museum actively engages the public to ensure the continuation of knowledge and history. We encourage everyone in the community, as well as outside the community to visit what we have to offer. As well, we are always seeking information and donations to expand our heritage garden. For more information, please contact us at Heritage Park Museum. Terra Nord was Heritage Park Museum’s garden coordinator for the past two summers. In gardening’s off-season, she studies ecology at the University of Northern British Columbia.

Museum nurtures locally adapted plants By TERRA NORD AS THE days lengthen and the planting of community gardens begins, we at Heritage Park Museum consider the fascinating history of heirloom plants in the Terrace area. For example, the Skeena Wonder Strawberry was a hardy plant bred specifically for the local climate. These strawberries were heavy producers which had great flavour, colour, and size. It is said that the strawberries were so large that you required egg cartons, one per section, to transport them. The interest in the Skeena Wonder Strawberry has been outstanding: the strawberries have now been featured on the radio, on tele-

EDITORIAL

Off to war LAST week’s federal budget is a perfect example of the combination of politics and money in that a government’s decision about how it wants to spend tax dollars is firmly tied to why it wants you to vote for it. And there’s no clearer example within those decisions then the $360 million the federal government is setting aside to continue its campaign against ISIL, the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, the terrorist organization which daily reaps horror on those living in Iraq, Syria and beyond. Note that this figure is above and beyond the regular defence budget which is all but frozen for the next two years. It’s money specifically for the ISIL campaign and that it is highlighted as a separate budget item reveals Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s firm resolve that Canada’s overseas fight is not only necessary but that it is popular enough to be a major votegetting plank in this fall’s election. There’s also $7.1 million to be spent so that Canadian troops can train Ukrainian soldiers to better battle the Russian-backed insurgency in eastern Ukraine. Generations of Canadians have grown up believing we’re a nation of peacekeepers rather than warmakers. While that may not be entirely accurate, Stephen Harper’s own vision will be put to the test when the country votes this October. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Hardly the stuff of courtroom drama

ollowing any trial as it unfolds whether present in the courtroom or watching it in real time on television is a tedious process. I watched hours of courtroom broadcasts of the murder case against the doctor who attended Michael Jackson the night he died. And days of the Florida trial of George Zimmerman, the Block Watch man, after he shot teenager Trayvon Martin who was on his way home with treats from a convenience store. Bad enough lawyers use convoluted language. They question everything from six or more different angles to ensure they’ve blocked every possible pierce point of a probe that could undo their painstaking defence. To follow a trial depending upon hastily typed tweets from a news reporter shivering in an overflow room viewing activity projected on a screen – or worse , listening to the back and forth over a phone line or Skype – is a lot like a toddler listening to Mom read a bedtime story. The tweeting process is further muddled by spelling errors as the reporter works

THROUGH BIFOCALS

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI under pressure; witness names that can be confused by their similarity; or tweets presented out of order due to an internet glitch gap. I thought of that on Day 11 of suspended Senator Mike Duffy’s Ottawa trial on fraud, breach of trust, and bribery. The three-hour time difference between Ottawa and Terrace means court has been in session before I wake my computer. Already a string of tweets await, demanding a quick reading to catch up to the current courtroom drama. Some mornings court is already taking their 15-minute mid-morning break.

Any time there’s no new testimony to relay, the reporter has a chance to toss in a few asides – any visitors observing the goings-on, who might be a new visitor, or any regular visitor who may be absent today. Mostly they may editorialize on the demeanour of the participants – Duffy with arms folded staring straight ahead; adoring fans gathered around him; his lawyer Baynes striding back and forth in front of the jury box like an actor on a stage. A favourite pastime of many visitors and reporters in the courtroom when activity is suspended is exclaiming over the photos of a darling bulldog pup, Carmella, on the RCMP officer’s laptop. The officer is in charge of lining up evidence. On one of the earliest days of the trial, there was mention Duffy had gone to Peterborough to look at adopting a puppy. The main CBC reporter – already bored by the trial’s plodding pace – tweeted, “Please, oh please, let there be puppies brought in as exhibits!” I laughed aloud at her heartfelt plea. Alas, no puppy arrived, nor has one been mentioned

since. Another day a light moment came about when Duffy’s lawyer was arguing with crown prosecutor Neubauer about whether Duffy qualified as a resident of Prince Edward Island, the province he was appointed to represent. Rules make it mandatory for a senator to live in the province he is appointed to represent. “The fact Prime Minister Harper appointed Duffy a senator makes him a resident of PEI”, Baynes declared. Neubauer asked, “Do you know who Justin Bieber is?” “Yes”, said Baynes. “Bieber is 21 years old. But you must be 30 years old to be appointed a senator. If Harper appointed Bieber a senator would that make him 30 years old?” I must depend on the interpretation of the reporters to know whether someone looks stressed, nervous, uncomfortable to find themselves testifying in court. Or whether they might look as though they’re afraid to be found out, or say the wrong thing. At the risk of shivering in a cold Courtroom 33, I’d prefer to interpret for myself.

The Mail Bag Disappointed with response

Daughter fulfils her promise Dear Sir: I’ve been hard hit with all the deaths in my family – aunts, cousins etc., as a direct result of cigarette smoking. If I can just save one person out there with a letter to the editor, it will be worth it. With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I am reminded that my mother died in Edmonton, but is buried in Terrace. When she was dying of

emphysema, the direct result of her cigarette smoking, I gathered up the courage to ask her if she would like to be buried with me. I was happy when she said, “Yes.” Her blood gases kept falling until even the doctor wondered why she was still alive. I then received a postcard from my mother in the mail which said, “Judy, (my broth-

er’s amazing wife) is trying to kill me. Call the police.” I knew then she had gone past the point of no return. And I was still smoking, inspite of her having said quit while you are ahead. The same day as she wrote the postcard, two of my brothers had to pack her off to the hospital – it was the last time she was able to write anything. At 46 years of age, I be-

came determined to quit somehow. I made two attempts of three months each, and failed both times. The first time – going to a bar was not a good idea. I had gone through all the withdrawal symptoms of which I wasn’t proud. Finally, I came down with pneumonia.

Dear Sir: I am a member of North West Watch, a non profit society consisting of citizens interested in a sustainable environment in the North West: learning about it, raising awareness of it, and advocating for it. Like other non profit groups North West Watch sometimes organizes and hosts fund raising events to support the work it is trying to do. Your paper recently refused to print a community events notice for one of our activities; an art auction and social event at the local brew house, saying we were a “political” organization and as such would have to pay for space in the paper. I would respectfully request that you reconsider what you think it is that makes a group “political”. Would you print a community events notice for a cancer run or an information meeting on LNG, or a fund raiser to support art and culture? What criteria would you use to decide whether these things are “political”? As you well know, everything in a democracy, from health care to the arts, to protecting the environment has a political aspect. Political parties have positions and priorities in relation to all of them. Is it a newspaper’s job to discriminate between the issues it wishes to label “political” in effect choosing sides on issues where controversy exists? Or do you agree with me that it is more appropriate to fairly represent the spectrum of activities in a community, saving the “political” label for groups that actively support one party or another. The members of North West Watch care passionately about our shared environment in the same way that supporters of the Pacific Northwest Music Festival care about music or the members of Canadian Cancer Society care about cancer research.

It’s time for the northwest’s fair share

O RT H W E S T E R N B.C. residents have every reason to be worried about a recent move by the provincial government to claw back money it’s been providing local governments in B.C. through a natural resource taxation revenue sharing agreement. Since 1994 local governments in the northeast have received approximately $219 million through the agreement which recognizes that major industrial projects in that region aren’t within the taxation boundaries of those governments. Industrial taxation flows instead to the provincial government and the agreement, called Fair Share, reverses some of that outward flow. The agreement has been crucially important for municipalities like Dawson Creek in that while major industrial developments use local services such as water, sewers and roads, they don’t directly pay local taxes. Indeed, Fair Share provides

more than third of Dawson Creek’s revenue. In contrast, Terrace receives about three per cent of its revenues from industrial sources. This current northeast Fair Share agreement, which runs until 2020, is indexed to growth in the oil-and-gas sector which has averaged over 8 per cent annually which makes sense in that more revenues mean more development and increased demands for service as well as greater ability to pay by the province. But now with a decline in the oil and gas sector, revenues to the province are falling and it wants to compensate by limiting the amount of money it returns to the northeast. It is a cash grab plain and simple, a retreat by the provincial government from a mutually-negotiated equitable share for local communities. The government will certainly point to the millions still made available to the region as evidence of its ongoing support, however, the “fair” in Fair Share will become less and

GUEST COMMENT

BRUCE BIDGOOD less fair over time. This would set a dangerous precedent for the northwest which, as Premier Christy Clark tells everybody, is on the verge of major industrial expansion primarily through liquefied natural gas pipelines and plants. And with that development will come increased provincial tax revenue. As it is, some reports suggest that as much as 70

per cent of the provincial government’s revenue base comes from rural and northern areas. But with that development will come the kinds of pressures for more roads, sewers, water, subdivision land, and social and recreational services as experienced in the northeast. Large-scale expenditures are typically beyond the scope of local governments who are struggling with infrastructure deficits which could impede economic development. The City of Terrace, for instance, currently reports a $45 million infrastructure deficit. Local governments have responded to that possibility of increased demand for services – and the resulting financial pressure to pay for them – through the formation of the Northwest Resource Benefits Alliance in June 2014. From an initial group of local governments such as the City of Terrace and the KitimatStikine regional district, the alliance now counts nearly 30 local governments among its support-

ers and participants. The alliance wants no more and no less than the northwest’s fair share. The province cannot reap the benefits of industrial expansion and leave local governments to bear the brunt of the increased usage of our infrastructure. What can you do? Become more informed by reviewing information on the Northwest B.C. Resource Benefits Alliance (http://rdks.bc.ca/news/ northwest-bc-resource-benefitsalliance-rba ). Speak to your local government officials and MLA and tell them your opinions. If we have nothing left in our back pockets but a last pay cheque as we wave goodbye to the last parting LNG tankers, we have simply failed to learn from our boom and bust history. It is time for our fair share. Bruce Bidgood was a City of Terrace councillor and Chair of the Regional District of KitimatStikine during the formation of the resource benefits alliance.

PROPERTY OWNERS along the unpaved most westerly portion of Haugland Ave. on the Southside, who at first thought their share of a city road rebuilding project was tough to afford, have accepted a new plan. Instead of paying their share of $300,000 for the $1.32 million project over 10 years, the period has now been extended to 20 years. The 10-year option was first offered to the 24 landowners on the 5200 and 5300 blocks of Haugland and 13 responded in favour of the project. A minimum of half the residents must vote and that also has to represent half of the assessed value of the land. In response to concern over the price, the city gave residents another payment option which allows them to pay back the service over 20 years. That option has now been accepted by 21 landowners.

housing developments along Graham. Bear Creek Contracting is also the successful bidder on another road rebuild, this time on the 4700 Block of Walsh. Bear Creek Contracting is doing the job for $704,997, winning the contract over Daudet Creek Contracting which bid $853,726.14 and Dunoon Contracting which bid $1,068,210. The reconstruction of 4700 Walsh will include a sidewalk and the replacement of the water main and sanitary pipes as well as repaving the street. Residents of the 4700 Block of Tuck, however, will still have to wait for a repaving of their street, a project cancelled in 2013 when the money for it was used to ease the ballooning costs of the reconstruction of 4700 McConnell at that time. According to the city, the project “will be considered for repaving in a future year under our overlay projects included in the 5 year plan.”

Road cost payment extension accepted by property owners Work on this project will go to tender once the appropriate bylaw has been passed and approvals have been received. The project involves water and sewer lines in addition to rebuilding the roadbed and then paving. Meanwhile, it will be awhile yet before a roads project started last year and then put into hibernation over the winter is completed. Crews ran out of time before winter hit to pave 840 metres of Graham, also on the Southside, from Eby to Kalum following a rebuilding of that stretch of road. A plant to provide asphalt won’t be in operation until sometime next month. The total project cost is $1.923 million, a figure that includes city work and material as well as the contract for Bear Creek Contracting. Part of the overall project was the installation of water and sewer laterals to be used if there are future subdivisions or

Centennial performs ‘divine’ play CENTENNIAL CHRISTIAN drama students go back to an older time where people mean well but trouble can still follow. The play, the Diviners, is not the Wellknown story by Margaret Laurence, but the perhaps lesser known play by Jim Leonard Jr., similar in title only. Buddy Layman is a boy with mental challenges who some say knows some things others shouldn’t and who has the ability to “divine” for water, although he’s terrified of water because he nearly drowned as a child and his mother did drown. He’s so afraid of water that he never bathes. When a preacher comes to town, while trying to get away from the ministry, he and Buddy become very close as the preacher is also a diviner. The preacher, named C.C. Showers, takes it upon himself to try to get Buddy to bathe. Ladies in the town learn that he is a preacher and try to push him back to that vocation to some unexpected and ultimately life-changing results. Jo-Anne Voogd directs and says rehearsals are going very well. Connor Block is Buddy and Joshua Piers is C.C. Showers. The rest of the cast is Brianna Lindsay as Buddy’s sister Jennie Mae, Marcus as Ferris Layman, Grace Stewart as Norma Henshaw, Rayla Lindsay as Darlene Henshaw, Hannah Stewart as Goldie Short, Liam Nutma as Basil Bennett, Sophia Zanardo as Luella Bennett, Renzo Zanardo as Melvin Wilder and Aiden Carter as Dewey Maples. This is Centennial’s 14th annual play. For more details about the Diviners, including where to buy tickets, see City Scene on page 11.

TWO CALEDONIA Senior Secondary students competed in the Skills Canada provincial competition after placing well in the regional competition here. Sam Christiansen earned an impressive third place (Bronze Medal) in welding after earning the right to compete when he placed first in a regional Skills Canada competition sponsored by Northwest Community College (NWCC), the Industry Training Authority and industry in January. Jake Blix placed first at NWCC, which led to his invitation to demonstrate his carpentry skills at the Tradex Centre in Abbotsford. Both boys said it

was a great experience and were amazed at the sheer size of the competition, depth of talent and myriad of trades opportunities available to students. Both have fully embraced and excelled in their trades-training through the ACE-IT (Accelerated Credit Enrolment in Industry Training) program – an opportunity to earn graduation credits, get a head start on an apprenticeship and a possible career while in high school. The ACE-IT program is available to students in Grades 11 and 12 at NWCC or UAPIC (Piping Industry College), housed in the newly formed Northwest Regional Training and Employment Cen-

hen my children were small, I used to tiptoe into their rooms at night to watch their sweet sleeping faces. I would say it was for their benefit, that I wanted to make sure they were settled, but really it was to reassure myself that this loveliest of experiences was real. No matter what stress or problems nagged or future worries loomed, in the now, my children were sleeping, were safe. I’ve never lost the awe and gratitude I felt at their births. Even now, I sometimes gawk at grown-up them and feel overwhelmed with it. There were trying times through the years, of course. Exhaustion, heartbreak, turmoil, and guilt. (Ah, guilt that horrible part and package of becoming a parent, seeing first hand that no matter how hard you try, you’ll still fail them and be completely inadequate in some pretty crucial ways.) Yet through it all, the dominant emotion I associate with parenting was—and is—joy. Joy and deep thankfulness. That said, the last two or so years have been tough. I knew my job would change once my children became adults, but I didn’t know how or in what ways—and I fully counted on my worrying about them to decrease. (I hear you other parents of adult kids laughing right now, and it’s not helpful. Not helpful at all!) More frequently than ever before, I was at a loss for what to do, what to say. . . . Thanks to help from parents I admired and to a lot of reading, I knew how to rear babies and toddlers (which isn’t to say I did so well—but I knew

All is right the basics and could aspire to higher things). Ditto children and tweens. And I was one of those annoying parents who enjoyed raising my teenagers. (Don’t worry: I also pulled out a lot of hair and wept buckets too. I think that’s the developmental norm for parents of children that age.) But adulthood? Somehow, seemingly overnight, I was supposed to trust we’d instilled the tools they needed to maneuver life, provide for themselves, build healthy relationships, etc., etc. For a while, I went backward in my parenting skills. I struggled (struggle!) with letting go. It’s just that I have all this hope and love and desire for them,

coupled with a truth we all learn pretty quickly: life can kick the heart out of you sometimes. I desperately wanted (want!) to spare them any pain. But that’s inner-Ev. Outer-Ev is more sensible and knows full well their lives and decisions are on them now—as they must be for them to mature into healthy, independent adults. Thankfully, after some blue, anxious months, I had a small epiphany. My daughter was sharing some issue and as I opened my mouth to give suggestions, she held up her hand. “You don’t have to fix this, Mom. It’s not your job.” A light went on. She was right. “Fixing things” for her isn’t my job anymore—and hasn’t been for some time. Then I read an article, “The Danger of Micromanaging your Teenagers” by Mike Duran. It affirmed how my husband and I tried to raise our kids—and provided guidance for this next phase. He described parenting adults as a partnership. You’re still there for them, but as equals facing life together. You’re supportive, not dictatorial. Available, but not hovering. I know I’ll be tempted to micromanage or to give more advice than is appropriate again (It’s just so hard not to look at them and see the toddlers who needed so much of me!), but I’ve been at peace since getting this tidbit of insight. Will I still sneak into their bedrooms to check on them if I get the chance? Of course! Heh. Got you. Of course not. Part of me, however, will always want to. Just to know they’re all right. And to reassure myself that this loveliest of all experiences is real. I am the parent of adults, and right now they’re safe.

The loaded logging truck was travelling westbound when it lost control, went into the oncoming lane, then hit the left ditch, flipping over onto its top side, said police.

Break-in artist on probation ONE OF two men responsible for nearly 20 break-ins from two summers ago has been sentenced. Steven Benjamin Lloyd Derrick pleaded guilty to one charge of mischief $5,000 or under and was sentenced to a conditional discharge with probation for one year and to pay a $100 victim fine surcharge in provincial court here April 14. A conditional discharge means that if a person successfully follows the conditions of the sentence for the amount of time court has ordered then that person will not have a criminal record. On August 9, 2013, police were called to a person attempting to open the window of an apartment on Lakelse Ave., said Terrace RCMP at that time. Officers located a 25-year-old man on the rooftop of a nearby business and arrested him for break and enter, said police. Police noted that the same business had a screen removed and window opened. Investigation determined that the same man was responsible for the attempted break and enter of the business.

THE ARRIVAL of more favourable weather has allowed Terrace Search and Rescue members to begin searching once again for Dustin Steele, a Red Deer, Alberta resident who went missing after his truck became caught up in the Skeena River late last year.

Efforts renewed in search for missing Red Deer man THANKS TO favourable weather, Terrace Search and Rescue (SAR) crews were able to continue search efforts for a Red Deer, Alberta man who went missing in the Skeena River late last year. “Low water conditions allowed the team to re-visit a large log jam below where Dustin [Steele] entered the water,” said Terrace SAR president Dwayne Sheppard April 20. “Visibility underwater was poor but the team used underwater cameras to search into the log jam. If conditions permit, the team may revisit the area again before water levels rise.” Dustin Steele, 23, was last seen on November 1, 2014 at approximately 9 p.m. in the Copper Flats area, when a truck he and two friends were in was driven into the river and became caught in the current, reported Terrace RCMP Nov. 3. Two of the men made it to shore and Dustin was last seen in the back of the floating truck heading downstream on the Skeena River. Search and rescue volunteers and many

individuals went out for many days afterward looking for Steele. In December, 2014 searchers returned to look on the shoreline and shallow water areas and found a child seat, and boot believed to have come from the truck, said Sheppard at that time.

As long as the weather continues to co-operate, search and rescue will be checking the log jam again. “We are going to try to go under the log jam with the underwater camera to reach the back end of the jam,” said Sheppard, adding the log jam is about 1

km below where Steele entered the Skeena, making it a highly probable area where he might be found. “We will search the log jam once again. We have no plan to continue searching other parts of the Skeena because water levels are rising and the area is vast.”

Wildlife death warning issued

SEVERAL MOOSE and deer have been killed lately and conservation officers are reminding people to be responsible when hunting and careful when driving. And to watch that dogs don’t chase wildlife as that can mean the pet is euthanized by conservation officers. Two deer were killed by vehicles between the four-way stop at the intersection of Hwy 16 and Hwy 37 South and near the airport, said

Another cow moose was shot and left off the highway near Greenville on the first weekend of April, he said. “It was not able to be salvaged as it had been gut shot and the birds and a wolf were already eating it,” said Scrivner.

Area could host two work camps THE TERRACE area could very well be the home to two of as many as 15 construction camps needed to house workers for a pipeline that would feed a planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant at Kitimat. One of those camps would be at the City of Terrace’s Skeena Industrial Development Park on land owned by the Kitselas Development Corporation and the other south of Lakelse Lake and off of Hwy37 South along the North Kitimat Forest Service Road. But neither will be built if LNG Canada, majority-owned by Shell Canada, doesn’t

decide to proceed, says an official with Coastal GasLink, the TransCanada entity that would build the pipeline stretching 670 kilometres from northeastern B.C.’s natural gas fields to Kitimat. “Without that decision, we won’t build,” said Greg Cano who was in Terrace recently for a Coastal GasLink open house. LNG Canada is expected to make its final decision sometime next year and Coastal GasLink has set its own timetable accordingly. “We’ll be ready in the summer of 2016, the earliest by April,” said Cano. It already has pro-

vincial environmental approval for its 48-inch pipeline, is working on meeting conditions attached to that approval and expects to have a provincial B.C. Oil and Gas Commission construction permit in hand this year. The cost is estimated at $4.8 billion with five per cent of that to be spent up to the point where construction would begin, said Cano. To date, $34 million has been spent in northern B.C. The pipeline would pump between 2 and 3 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day to the LNG Canada plant, a volume that could increase to 5 billion cubic

route. “We have four or five agreements in place already and we are in active negotiations with all of them,” said Cano. Coastal GasLink has

tagged camp operations, route clearing, security and medical services as areas for First Nations participation. Unlike fixed camp locations for massive projects such as LNG plan construction, pipeline construction is different, said Cano. Camp populations and activity will vary along the pipeline route because of climate and other conditions, he said. “The biggest restriction we have is this thing called snow,” Cano continued. “We can actively be in construction for about four months and then have to leave.” Coastal GasLink es-

timates there will be between 2,000 and 2,500 jobs during a construction timeline of approximately three years. Although TransCanada has set an estimated cost for its Coastal GasLink project, a final price contingent upon negotiations with its prime contractors and on negotiations with LNG Canada for the final overall contract amount hasn’t been set. A softer world economy now compared to the past several years has lowered the price of pipeline steel, noted Cano. “As for the price of labour, we’ve seen no upward pressure,” he added.

The Kitselas Treaty Office would like to thank the Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce, Kitselas Canyon Tours, Kitselas Development Limited Partnership and Kitselas Public Works for making this another successful event at the Business Expo. Also to all of the volunteers and general public who came and visited the Kitselas Treaty. DAVE WATSON PHOTO

SUZANNE GLEASON and son Jackson picked up bags of garbage from a collection of household waste in a small stream off of Queensway near the rail trestle.

Mounds of litter collected

NEARLY 200 volunteers turned up April 19 to fill about two-thirds of a 60-yard capacity garbage container in the 30th annual garbathon for the area. Groups fanned out across the city and area equipped with gloves and black plastic garbage bags to pick up accumulated litter. Some groups filled up the back of pickups with everything from weight training equipment to living room furniture. “It was a great day all around,” said Kerri Giesbrecht of the Greater Terrace Beautification Society which with the City of Terrace and the SkeenaWild Conservation Trust were the main organizers. “This year, the town proper was actually not too bad and we were able to send more people to the

outlying areas,” said Giesbrecht in adding that the stretch from the junction of Hwy16 and Hwy113 north to the turn off for the city landfill was particularly garbage-laden. Suzanne Gleason and son Jackson found more than they bargained for in a small creek just off of Queensway near the railway trestle in Thornhill. A large amount of household and other refuse was tipped over and into the small creek which eventually flows into the Skeena River. Giesbrecht said Gleason and her son collected about 10 large plastic garbage bags in all. A by-donation barbecue followed in George Little Park for garbathon volunteers. STAFF PHOTO

Scientist leery of LNG potential By JOSH MASSEY “THEY’RE GOING to put a bullseye on my picture down in Victoria,” says David Hughes as he leaves the interview room to continue on an eight-stop tour of northern B.C. to cast doubts on the promise of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) economic boom for the region. An independent geo consultant with 35 years experience at the Geological Survey of Canada, Hughes has been a consistent voice of caution during the province’s gallop towards an industry being promoted by the provincial government. His 2013 report Drill Baby Drill warned the U.S. about its overestimation of new oil and gas reserves made accessible from modern drilling techniques and now a study of Canadian reserves with similar

conclusions, BC LNG Reality Check, is to be published by the Canada Centre For Policy Alternatives in May. Hughes thinks the amount of natural gas available in major reserves in northeastern B.C. and the ability of companies to extract it is greatly overestimated by the Christy Clark government and the companies pitching their multibillion dollar projects. The information Hughes uses to argue his case comes from the federal National Energy Board (NEB) and the province’s B.C. Oil and Gas Commission’s own calculations and projections. The first target for Hughes are the 18 liquefaction facilities proposed on the coast, 12 of which already have export licences. He doubts they are even possible given the

huge amount of production that would lead to and the reality of demand. “Adding them up comes to 60 million tonnes more than the entire world trade of LNG,” says Hughes. Just supplying one or two facilities would require a dramatic drilling increase beyond the midrange expectations of the National Energy Board, he continued. Hughes says it’s likely Canada would become a net importer of natural gas to feed those facilities. “Basically we have to ramp up gas production way more than the NEB reference case forecast in order to have more than one terminal,” he said of the 330 per cent increase from current gas levels anticipated by 2035 in midrange NEB supply projections. “If we commit to

20 year projects, and are required contractually to provide that gas, we’re going to need to import a lot more gas.” The “high case” scenario of five LNG plants, would require 43,000 new wells by 2040 according to his calculations and he says there are limits to how many drills will fit in these areas that can effect recoverability of deposits. Just keeping up with current demand would require that 8,000 new wells be drilled in B.C. And domestically in Canada, where we are huge consumers of energy because of the climate and distance between cities, that demand is massive and will continue to be large even as renewable energy sectors grow. “We’re right up there with Saudi Arabia. Ac-

It’s Time to Live Wider Awake!

if we liquidate this for marginal returns.” He said that in the five LNG terminal scenario the Canadian gas surplus would run dry in several decades. “You could run a five terminal case, if you could drill wells fast enough, for about 4050 years. You could run a two terminal case for longer but that’s making optimistic forecasts about recoverability.” He said the amount of gas in the ground hasn’t been proven through drilling yet and is a theoretical “resource” number as opposed to reserve. Hughes said he is aware of the optimism in the Terrace area and through the northwest for an economic upsurge. “Prince Rupert is dying. Fishing is really down. Logging is really

David Hughes tually we are worse than Saudi Arabia. We use about 5.3 times as much energy per capita as the average person in the world. The Americans use 4 times the world average. We use 5.3.” “What is the best use of those resources? Liquidate it as fast as we can?” Hughes asks. “Future generations are going to curse us

down. So people are really looking at LNG as wow, this could be really great.” The final analysis of Hughes might even seem optimistic to those with vastly lowered expectations in an area that is pessimistic about grand promises. He sees two projects led by state-owned companies as the most likely to forge ahead. These are Grassy Point LNG led by China National Offshore Oil Corporation and Pacific Northwest LNG owned by Malaysia’s Petronas. “Their concerns are maybe not as much profit-based as energy security based, so they are trying to tie down a supply,” said Hughes. “They don’t care what the price is because they know they are going to need it eventually.”

THAT’S NORTH Coast Nightmares head coach Skimo, with top, left to right, Slaybia, Dream Warrior, Neckro-Chancey, CrackHer Box, Hellise and Ida Warden. Bottom, left to right, Darci, HellKat S, Jugless, Bam!b, and Marge Sins Some.

Nightmares win! A TRIP to face the Gold Pain City roller derby team in Quesnel April 9 resulted in a win for the North Coast Nightmares team, the second time this season the teams have faced each other and the first time in three years the Nightmares have won. With a small roster of nine players, team co-captain Marge Sins Some (Jessica Hogg)

credited a high endurance and a gruelling training schedule. “Our players have been training on skates at least three times a week and it’s led to some big improvements in our game,” she said. The first half of the bout was fairly tight with a halftime score of Nightmares, 60 vs. Quesnel, 43. Terrace came back

from halftime amped up and ready to win. “The team worked together so well, it was noticed by the opposition,” said head coach Skimo (Chris Thomas). “This win was long hoped for and well-deserved.” The final score of the match was Nightmares 158 and Gold Pain 110. This victory boosts the Nightmares to a

mere five spots behind Quesnel’s Gold Pain City, and both teams face off again in Terrace on May 9. It’s being billed as “Who’s Your Momma? The Sequel.” “Our next goal is to win at home,” said Skimo. “Games against Quesnel have always been great, and this will be no exception.” Nightmares’ home

games have brought in audiences of 1,000-plus people and the team is grateful for the support. “Terrace now has a reputation in the roller derby community of throwing a great bout, with loud and enthusiastic fans, and an awesome after-party,” says Marge Sins Some. Fans are encouraged to wear red and be loud, very loud.

ur floats would be floating downstream side by side, said an unbelieving Tom Protheroe, and Gordie’s would go down. Tom’s surprise was understandable. He had had that redoubtable, time tested Luhr Jensen lure, the Gooey Bob dangling enticingly from the end of his line. For the drift fishing cognoscenti of Terrace, the Gooey Bob was the terminal tackle one went to when bait was forbidden. These pink latex egg clusters originally came in slippery plastic packages containing the lures drenched in oil of anise. When fisheries managers decreed that scented lures were the equivalent of bait and therefore illegal on rivers with bait restrictions, drift fishers moved grudgingly to the unscented Gooey Bob and were delighted to discover that the dry odourless variety fished as well as their greasy counterparts. How effective was the Gooey Bob? Veteran steelheader and bon vivant, Roger Bligh, gave me a handful of small opaque Gooey Bobs after a particularly successful outing on the Kispiox. They were smaller than the Gooey Bobs I was used to. When I asked Roger about this, he told me in conspiratorial tones that these were the infamous Japanese Gooey Bobs, manufactured for a short time then discontinued. They’re even more deadly than the regular Gooey Bob, said Roger, emphasizing the word “deadly”. He then went on to tell me of a time he’d

Terrace badminton rep takes top honours

THE TERRACE Badminton Club sent one youth representative to the 2015 North Central Badminton Tournament in Prince George recently. The only youth player from Terrace, Lisa Nicholson came home with top honours for the single’s category, which included both female and male players and placed second for the mixed youth doubles. The annual tournament sees adult and youth players from across the north gather in Prince George for the final badminton tournament of the year. It showcases amazing skill level from northern

B.C. players and encourages younger players to continue developing a love for the sport. The tournament was a great opportunity for Nicholson to use skills developed over the past season, with coaching and guidance provided by Norm Parry and Herb Resch. Terrace has popular youth and adult clubs that meet throughout the week, in the evenings, at Thornhill Junior School, from October to April, with the season wrapping up now. Badminton is a great sport that builds on hand – eye coordination, along with speed and endurance. All skill levels are welcome to join the clubs.

that there was a lure even more seductive than the Gooey Bob, namely the pink rubber worm. Appraised honestly, the pink rubber worm is nothing more than an elongated Gooey Bob sculpted to bear a slight resemblance to the hermaphroditic creatures so beloved of gardeners, and, interestingly, vital to the well-being of all of us for the wonders they work with soil. Like the fake latex egg cluster, the pink latex worm has its hue going for it. When steelhead look up from the dark bottoms so many coastal streams share, they see the river bottom reflected on the underside of the surface appropriately called the mirror. As fabled Washington fly fisherman, Les Johnson, noted long ago, pinks and purples stand out more vividly against this dark backdrop than any other colours, and with added fluorescence the contrast is even more dramatic. When it comes to morphology of the two plastic organisms, the pink worm, despite being legless, has a leg up on the plastic Bob. The Gooey Bob bears an exaggerated resemblance to the salmon spawn that drifts down our rivers each fall, but the pink worm not only looks like an earthworm, albeit in the gaudiest of colours, it wiggles, or, as fishers say, it has action. Perhaps it is this wriggling action and fact that steelhead, like most fish, can’t leave a worm alone, that accounts for the appeal of the faux worm. In any event, it has become the favourite of drift fishing steelheaders. more next week

Rehab centre backed

COUNCIL WILL be rewriting and submitting a letter to the provincial health ministry to request that a rehabilitation facility for addicted youth be brought back to the northwest. According to local resident and advocate Adrienne Goodrich who was at council with a group of fellow advocates, the problem of youth addiction to hard drugs is a disproportionally bad problem in the area. The removal of the Atlas Youth Centre run by Terrace and District Community Services Society and financed by the province up until 2009 was a terrible blow and Goodrich wants council to again advocate for the return of such a facility.

“Since the closure of Atlas Youth Treatment Centre in 2009, our region has been without a residential addictions treatment for the community’s most precious and vulnerable members,” said Goodrich, adding that the counselling that is available is insufficient. Youth are sent to Prince George if they are in need of detox. “Prince George is pretty big. For someone to come from a small community to Prince George, the treatment centre is in the middle of town, there is culture shock and there is a lot for them to overcome to stay on a successful path,” she continued. Councillor Stacey Tyers recommended that the letter ask for a detox centre as a start.

Man given fine for disturbance A MAN involved in a fight that left what police said was the mark of a footprint on another man’s head pleaded guilty to a different charge than the initially charged one. Chase Joseph Riley Cardinal pleaded guilty to causing a disturbance in a public place and was ordered to spend one year on probation with conditions and to pay a victim fine surcharge of $100. He was originally charged with assault causing bodily harm. On January 21, Terrace RCMP reported that they had been called to a fight in progress between two men in the middle of Sparks St./Walsh Ave. whereupon they found a man with significant injuries, including a footprint on his head, and who was transported by paramedics to Mills Memorial Hospital. Two men, 31 and 22, had injuries consistent with a fight and were arrested, said police. “Dent, bruising, swelling all in the shape of a footprint,” said Terrace RCMP media relations/community policing officer Const. Angela Rabut when asked about the footprint on the victim’s head. Cardinal’s defence lawyer Timothy Klaassen said the photo evidence didn’t conclusively show that type of mark.

And that his client wasn’t the only one involved in fighting with the victim. “As I put it to the judge, [the victim] touched a female person in the house inappropriately. That female got into a fight with [him] and others got in a fight with [him] and he was asked to leave,” said Klaassen, adding that Cardinal and the victim went out on the lawn and the victim wanted back into the house. Cardinal took responsibility for his actions, said Klaassen, adding there was no evidence that Cardinal had kicked the victim. “That’s why he pleaded guilty to causing a disturbance,” said Klaassen. “It was undisputed that they were ‘grappling’, as the [paramedic] put it, on the lawn and that’s what she saw.” Klaassen said he believed that alcohol was a factor in the fight with both men. Probation conditions include Cardinal not being allowed out of his residence for the first eight months of his probation if he’s under the influence of alcohol and to not have any contact with the victim. He was also granted 21 days time served for time he spent in custody awaiting trial. A charge of theft $5,000 or under was stayed by the court.

Nisga’a, miners agree on revenue share THE NISGA’A Lisims Government has signed another economic benefits agreement with a resource company which has a project located on territory over which the Nisga’a have rights and interests. This time it’s with Pretium Resources which last week received provincial environmental approval for its Brucejack gold project near Stewart. The agreement is one of a series signed between the Nisga’a and mining, pipeline and power generating companies in the past several years. In return for money, training, education and jobs and contracting opportunities tied to the project, the Nisga’a have agreed to support the Brucejack development. Monetary terms of the deal were not released. “The benefits from

the Brucejack project will make an important contribution towards our improved quality of life,” said Nisga’a Lisims president Mitchell Stevens of the deal. The Brucejack project is not within core

Nisga’a lands but portions of it are within what is called the Nass Area, territory over which the Nisga’a have rights and interests as set out in the Nisga’a land claims treaty of 2000.

“We look forward to their collaboration as we advance Brucejack to production,” said Pretium president Bob Quartermain of the Nisga’a. Pretium still requires federal approval for its

project and still needs to raise final financing in anticipation of a construction start this year. Brucejack is a highgrade underground project and Pretium is forecasting a mine life of 18 years.

The Nisga’a have previously signed agreements with Alloycorp for its Avanti Kitsault molybdenum project, TransCanada which wants to build a natural gas pipeline through Nisga’a lands to a pro-

posed liquefied natural gas plant near Prince Rupert, with Seabridge Gold for its KSM gold, copper and silver project and with the owners of a small hydroelectric project at Long Lake near Stewart.
