Cardboard next on dump ban list
By JOSH MASSEY
CECILE FAVRON PHOTO
■■ Earthquake benefit HARJINDER DHESI prepares naan for the community Nepal benefit dinner held at the Terrace Sportsplex on May 23. Money raised from the dinner is going to the relief work being undertaken by the Red Cross following last month’s 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Nepal. The dinner raised more than $6,000 from ticket sales alone, a figure that will be matched by the federal government. Organizers of this benefit staged a similar one following the earthquake which devastated Haiti in early 2010.
A COMPLETE ban on cardboard in local landfills is slated to come into effect later this year, say public works officials from the Regional District of KitimatStikine and the City of Terrace. “There’s a market for cardboard, it’s an affordable material to transport south and get out of the waystream,” says regional district works manager Roger Tooms. “The cardboard ban [in landfills] I would expect will be in place this year.” Residents in Terrace and Thornhill already have a curbside program that includes cardboard, so the ban has more of an effect on businesses and other institutions not included in the curbside service. City of Terrace manager of public works Rob Schibli said Terrace will also ban cardboard once the regional district has finalized the contract for the cardboard processing. “The city would work with the [regional district] to implement cardboard bans at our local landfills,” said Schibli. Tooms said the goal is to have the new Forceman Ridge landfill, located 30 kilometres south on Hwy37, operating by mid-2016 and the ban would apply there as well as to the Thornhill and Terrace dumps, both of which will be closed. The Thornhill location will be converted into a transfer station for subsequent transport of waste to the new facility. “The ICI [Industrial, Commercial, Institutional] sector would either self haul depending on who they are or they are going to hire a
contractor like some of them do now with regards to diverting their cardboard,” said Tooms. Businesses will either drop cardboard off themselves or pay for the service provided by companies such as Do Your Part and Waste Management. Do Your Part, which currently processes Terrace curbside recycling, is moving this week to a new building near its current Thornhill location and will be purchasing a compactor to deal with the influx of cardboard if it’s awarded the processing contract. Owner Kasey Lewis says she is positioning herself to
take on the contract from the regional district for the increased cardboard. She will then sell the compacted cardboard to southern markets. She said the price changes and that currently $80 a ton is a ballpark figure for what a recycler would get per ton. “This cardboard contract will require a big, big baler,” said Lewis. “With the extension it will require to put into the building, the total investment will be probably a quarter of a million. It’s a big deal, but, there’s a lot of cardboard out there.”

Deceased worker smoked cannabis By MARGARET SPEIRS FAILING TO use a safety harness properly, smoking cannabis on the job and a problem with a crane lift are facts in the death of a worker on BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line last year, according to the recently released BC coroner’s report. Michael Todd Thornewell, 45, died of massive head trauma after falling 22 metres from a work platform while working on the power line, about 50 km north of Terrace on March 15, 2014. “It was determined that Mr. Thornewell had not followed appropriate safety procedures as his fall protection harness was not fastened to one of the six tie-off points that were welded to the guardrail corners,” said the report written by coroner Wendy Flanagan. “I find that Michael Todd Thornewell died near Terrace on March 15, 2014 of massive head trauma due to a fall from a crane. Recent use of cannabis may have been a contributory factor. I classify this death as accidental and make no recommendations,” wrote Flanagan. Thornewell, who had been working for McGregor Construction of Edmonton under contract to main transmission line builder Valard, was a power line technician working on a new transmission tower March 15, said the report. During construction, new transmission lines, or conductors, are strung between transmission towers with the lines temporarily held in place with chain jacks between the insulator glass at the towers and implosion sleeves, said the report.

Unions celebrate labour anniversary By CECILE FAVRON MEMBERS FROM various unions around the region did more than talk about policy and issues when they met here last week for a regional conference held by the BC Federation of Labour. They also celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Kitimat-Terrace and District Labour Council, the regional body representing a number of unions with local members. The labour council’s roots date back to the first years of Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat aluminum smelter. Construction and then operation of the smelter grouped together a large contingent of workers and with it a call for union representation for wages, working conditions and other issues. Last week’s conference, held May 22-23,
featured issues occupying organized labour – employment in the resource sector, jobs in the “green economy” and improving wages for minimum wage workers. “The purpose of having this conference [in Terrace] is to be the BC Federation of Labour, not the Vancouver Federation of Labour,” Irene Lanzinger, President of the BC Federation of Labour said of the choice to hold regional conferences in all reaches of the province. The conference involved many local unions including the BC Teachers’ Federation, the United Steelworkers, and the Hospital Employees’ Union. Participating unions spoke at the panel events and engaged in various workshops over the two-day conference. The conference fea-
tured five panels on mobilizing members, the history of the labour movement, the resource sector, missing and murdered Indigenous women, and local poverty issues. Various workshops on health and safety, the minimum wage debate, and the federal election were also held in the afternoons. Lanzinger highlighted the jobs versus environment debate as a critical issue with unions of the northwest. “We think we can have both,” Lanzinger said on the issue, citing that green jobs are very good for the average worker. She believes that investing in sustainable energy, transportation, and construction will create more sustainable jobs. The BC Federation of Labour is also working on a project called The Fight for $15 Cam-

BC FEDERATION of Labour president Irene Lanzinger was one of those attending a regional labour conference in Terrace last week. paign to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour for all workers. For this goal, Lanzinger encourages more unionizing in northern B.C. which only has a union density (the proportion of workers who are unionized) of 30 per
cent. “Unions are good for communities, they make the communities a more equal place,” Lanzinger said. “Our most vulnerable workers are low wage workers, so we need to be helping them.”
Unions represented at the conference come from as far as Prince George and Vancouver, but are mostly from the Terrace, Kitimat, and Prince Rupert area. “The goal of this conference is the make the labour movement
stronger in the region,” explained Lanzinger. Also speaking were area politicians, including Skeena - Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen, Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin and BC NDP leader John Horgan.

Economic Benefits for Northern British Columbia Through April 2015, TransCanada’s Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project team hosted public question-and-answer sessions in nine northern B.C. communities. We’d like to thank everyone who attended, and take this opportunity to respond again to some of the questions that were asked.
•
Coastal GasLink has invested in community projects and services in a dozen communities, from fire/rescue equipment to restoring rivers and streams to summer programs for children.
•
Notable recipients of recent contributions include the Chetwynd Health Clinic and Wellness Centre, the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s Skeena Salmon Program, and the Houston Search and Rescue Society.
•
Coastal GasLink and TransCanada are active members of 14 local Chambers of Commerce across northern B.C., and regular sponsors of community events.
•
During operation, Coastal GasLink will support local services far into the future. Judging from current assessment rates, the proposed pipeline will generate more than $20 million every year in property taxes across four regional districts and the municipal District of Kitimat that will support services like fire protection, schools and hospital districts.
How is Coastal GasLink providing business opportunities for northern B.C.? •
Over $4 billion is estimated to be spent on pipeline construction, a third of which is estimated to be spent in B.C.
•
Opportunities for qualified businesses include the supply of construction materials, services and labor, and increased retail and commercial activity in the area of the proposed project.
•
Most direct business opportunities during construction will be provided through prime contractors or their sub-contractors. Each prime contractor will develop a local and Aboriginal participation plan to cover local contracting and employment. We will monitor and enforce the implementation of these plans and require regular progress reports.
•
Four categories of activity are designated as opportunities for qualified Aboriginal businesses including right-of-way clearing; camp management; security; and medical.
•
Coastal GasLink representatives are already working full-time to explain the qualification process to local businesses.
•
During project planning, since mid-2012, we have spent over $34 million on goods, services and wages in northern B.C.
What about hiring and training? •
•
•
Coastal GasLink estimates there will be 2,000 to 2,500 people directly employed through the main construction period. Most job opportunities will be provided through prime contractors or their sub-contractors. There will be opportunities for welders and mechanics, equipment operators, drivers, labourers, flagpersons and more. Openings will be communicated in northern B.C. communities. We expect there will also be a need to attract qualified workers from other parts of B.C. and beyond. Coastal GasLink and TransCanada have launched a “Pathways to Pipeline Readiness” training program with northern B.C. colleges and training institutions, with $900,000 in funding announced to date.
Coastal GasLink Pipeline Ltd. is proposing to develop an approximately 670 kilometre pipeline to safely deliver natural gas from the Groundbirch area, near Dawson Creek, B.C., to the proposed LNG Canada gas liquefaction facility at Kitimat. Coastal GasLink is committed to meeting or exceeding regulatory requirements, and to working with regulators through construction to achieve the highest standards of environmental protection. Once in operation, the proposed pipeline would be subject to ongoing regulatory monitoring by the BC Oil and Gas Commission. Coastal GasLink will provide numerous benefits to B.C. including property taxes, local contracting and business stimulus, community investments and more. For more information • Visit www.coastalgaslink.com • Contact us at coastalgaslink@transcanada.com or 1.855.633.2011 (toll-free) • Check us out on Twitter: @CoastalGasLink
What is Coastal GasLink doing for local communities? •
Coastal GasLink engages with, listens to, and acts on feedback from communities. From the onset of the project, the project team held numerous meetings with First Nations, local governments, landowners, other land users and community residents.

Local resident guns for zero environmental impact with new home
By JOSH MASSEY GERMANY IS a household name within the renewable energy revolution and Thornhill resident Martin Holzbauer might become a household name here for his own low footprint projects. As a child in his native Germany, he witnessed the startling energy efficiency results his father achieved using unique construction materials. “My father had a construction company and one of our specialties was actually an insulating stucco,” says Holzbauer. “It was a revelation to see how much more impervious to water seepage was the insulating stucco.” From this initial ‘aha’ moment grew a lifelong dream of building an entirely carbon neutral home. “The whole idea is, you as a person, your impact through your living is basically zero on the environment. You produce no carbon,” Holzbauer said of the design principle. He hand-built his home in Thornhill and has only to install solar panels to make it nearly emissions free, at least a tenth the carbon footprint. Not only is he out to help save the world from climate change destruction (“I think as a species we are killing ourselves,” he says), but a quick look at his most recent hydro bills reveals combined heating and electrical at $236 which includes powering a rental trailer located on his property, for two months. “Everything has more than one purpose,” he says of his building philosophy. The following is a breakdown of some of those features. Strong walls “The whole house maintains the heat and equalizes the temperature,” says Holzbauer. Part of the way this is accomplished is through installation of 13-inch thick walls. Top grade windows, up high More expensive, but well worth the cost in the long run, are high quality windows. Triple-glazed panes are all rated R8 which means eight times less air gets through than a single standard window, and less noise. On top of the efficiency boost, Holzbauer said mold is less of a concern this way. To maximize the dispersion of natural light and thus decrease dependency on electrical light, he puts in windows high up on the walls. Ventilation Holzbauer says that all these features lead to trapping heat inside. “In the winter, my brother was cooking inside, and it was 25 degrees in here. It was 8 outside because the heat was trapped in.” An air ventilation system located in the basement brings fresh air in from outside. Passive solar Holzbauer created a south-facing sun room that collects heat for growing plants and also provides

MARTIN HOLZBAUER in front of his über energy efficient Thornhill home. extra heat to spread inside the house when the door onto the living room is opened. “I start to plant in early February and it will hit 20 degrees. The ambient hot air can then be circulated into the rest of the house,” he says. Domestic hot water recovery “This is copper pipe wrapped with other copper pipe. As you are having your shower the warm water from the shower returns about 6 per cent of the heat and helps heat up the cold water before it goes in the tank,” he explains. Concrete, foam, infloor While the thought of concrete blocks might sound chilly, Holzbauer says that in fact they provide thermal mass by warming up and holding the heat. This, combined with foam insulation, forms the fundamental structure of the walls and floors. And infloor heating he says is the best. “If you feet are warm, you are comfortable.” Tile Holzbauer surfaced his counter with tile instead of granite which he says has less of an environmental footprint. Safety Backup lights on stairs show safety is also key to Hauzbauer’s plan. In the case of a power outage, redundancy batteries kick in and there is light.

EDITORIAL
Happy 10th IT may not be exactly circled on a lot of calendars but this year marks a significant anniversary down at city hall. It’s the tenth year since the city dipped into its land reserve for $1 million in late 2005 to buy the fourplus acres of the former Terrace Coop shopping complex on Greig Ave. Back then the idea was that if anyone was to control the destiny of the property, it should be the city and not anyone else. The purchase, where essentially the city loaned itself the money from its own land reserve and has been paying it back in annual $100,000 installments, remains controversial. For one, the city has foregone the annual tax revenue it would have received from other owners. And after several years of debate, the complex was demolished after the decision was reached that it could simply not be renovated. A small portion of the land was sold to a local group for a brew pub and the city achieved what it had hoped was a major prize – a deal to sell the majority of the property to Calgary hotel developer. But 10 years on, the land remains vacant. The brew pub is still unrealized and a major snag remains unresolved and that is for the city to obtain a clean environmental bill of health as a condition of the hotel deal. Not all anniversaries are happy ones. This is a cautionary tale that all that glitters is sometimes not gold.

F
inally I’ve found a movie/TV show I can enjoy – Grace and Frankie, the new one on Netflix. Without explosions, car chases, murders, nudity or overt sex, the storyline meanders along typical everyday events in two families connected by the fathers, partners in a law firm. Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, the two main characters, feisty and funny as they were in movies such as Monsterin-Law and Nine to Five, are perfect playing wives in 40-year-long mundane marriages to husbands who have worked together for years who now fess up to being gay, and divorce their wives to marry each other. Because it’s on Netflix, I can watch one episode after another, which is what I did last evening. I watched the first five episodes like a kid with a favourite Walt Disney movie, until way past my bedtime. And today, for the first time ever, I watched two more episodes after lunch rather than tuning in for the latest news or discussions of the day’s political events. I can relate to these 70-year-old women as Tom-

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI lin struggles to cope with her first iPad and attempts to Instagram or tweet to feel she’s participating as she watches an annual spelling bee, perhaps the renowned ScrippsHoward spelling bee. I’m not sure about that point. Each couple has two adult children. Both of Tomlin’s sons were adopted. The redhead, Coyote, who gets around on a bicycle, has one more year to serve for a driving prohibition although I’m not sure if his crime was driving while drunk or while drugged. He avoids alcohol but keeps himself well supplied with marijuana and coke.
The black brother, Bud, is a thoughtful, likeable young man who allows the redhead to live with him rent-free. Fonda has a daughter, Brianna, who took over management of Fonda’s cosmetic/clothing store when Fonda retired recently. She is snippy with a “mouth like a sewer”. Still she wields her shortcomings to profitable effect when a supply company falls short on an order. One early scene that delighted me was the four grown children arriving for a family dinner. One father held out a box and required each one to relinquish their cell phone. Later that scene was balanced by the married daughter stirring cake batter on her island counter with her cell phone sitting beside the mixing bowl. If I owned a cell phone I’d not let it hold me hostage like a probationary convict wearing an ankle bracelet. The early episodes work through the husbands notifying their wives they’re divorcing them, telling their kids of the impending breakups. They progress to sorting out disposition of their houses, facing friends as separated spouses, arranging for the
S TANDARD
men’s wedding, sending out invitations, tasting foods for the wedding reception and writing marriage vows. Fonda is the first to sample dating after four decades of marriage, beginning with an on-line disaster and rapidly discarding a series of misfits like a teen choosing an outfit for the day until she clicks with a man who ate a fellow-adventurer to stay alive. Fonda is primarily the straight woman while Tomlin utters one funny quip after the next with her typical forthrightness and straight face. Dressed in hippy flounces and engaging in peyote ceremonies she nonetheless possesses wisdom on many subjects though she panics at a 4.3 earthquake. (This takes place in San Diego, the site of past spectacular earthquakes.) She teaches art in her home to three rehabilitated ex-cons. Sadly the series ended with Episode 12. Now I must wait until the second series begins perhaps in the fall? Till then I can at least re-watch the best episodes of Season One any time on Netflix.

SOMEONE HAD started a fire along a section of the Howe Creek Trail.
Don’t abuse the creek trail Dear Sir: I’m writing this letter to vent my total disgust in the way some people seem to think “out of sight, out of mind.” I’m talking about the total disregard for nature by some who use the Howe Creek Trail. Some homeowners
backing onto Howe Creek think that it is a dumping ground for grass clippings, tree branches, dirt and gravel and ashes from a burning pit. Also, kids who take various foods and juices to a certain spot to do whatever and then leave their garbage behind.
Also in the last little while someone thinks it is a good place to ride motorized dirt bikes. The result is that a riding trail has been made connecting the trail along Howe Creek to the trail connecting to the top of Lanfear Hill. Howe Creek Trail is a
relaxing walk while watching birds and squirrels and the seasonal changes. A lot of work has been put into making and maintaining what the trail has become today. Let’s do our part to keep it this way. Reg Dempster, Terrace, B.C.

My grandparents on my mother’s side are Reginald Sampson and Pauline Sampson (nee Gosnell). I attended the Lax Kw’alaams community meetings held in Prince Rupert on May 6 and 7, 2015 that discussed the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Line and the Pacific NorthWest LNG facility proposed for Lelu Island. The Lax Kw’alaams band was offered an approximately $1 billion dollar benefit package spread out over 40 years to sign onto these mega projects. The aim of the informational meetings, which were organized by the Lax Kw’alaams band, were to inform the Lax Kw’alaams community of the impacts and benefits involved with these projects. The council was also seeking guidance from the community on how to proceed with these projects. The first night consisted of an independent environmental assessment that was contracted by the Lax Kw’alaams band for

The team of upwards of six specialists in marine biology, geology and oceanography gave the Lax Kw’alaams community an evidence-based presentation of the environmental risks associated with the proposed projects. Between the sediment trend analysis of Flora Bank and the high biodiversity and productivity of the Skeena estuary, these researchers systematically showed how delicately balanced Flora Bank is in its natural state.

What can Terrace learn from New York City?
T
he question posed by the title above might seem a bit preposterous. Terrace is less than a century old; NYC is about to enter its fifth century. Terrace is comparatively tiny with a few barely distinguishable neighborhoods; NYC’s five boroughs distribute a population of nearly eight and a half million over a 300 square mile area (its greater metropolitan area contains nearly 24 million people). Terrace offers one small community college and a branch of UNBC; NYC has a network of 120 colleges and universities. Terrace still struggles to diversify its economic base; NYC has a diverse economy producing a ‘gross metropolitan product’ of nearly $1.4 trillion. Terrace citizens speak a smattering of languages dominated by a civic shell of English; nearly 800 languages can be heard spoken in NYC. Despite extraordinary differences in scale, the two communities have a lot in common. Both
face the ongoing challenge of reconciling the extravagances of private ambition to the necessities of broad public benefit, opportunity and regulation. Both must navigate into the future by integrating responsible and responsive citizenship. Under Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York City has recently published One New York: the Plan for a Strong and Just City. This plan, based on ideas solicited from thousands of New Yorkers at meetings, through polls and surveys, and on consultations with city agencies and regional partners, is over 300 pages long. It has four general thrusts: support innovation and what is probably inevitable growth through creating and maintaining affordable housing, investing in high-growth industries, developing improved transportation infrastructure, and offering skills training programs; improve justice and equitability through raising the minimum wage, expanding family centers to provide
GUEST COMMENT
AL LEHMANN physical and healthcare services and access to legal aid; make the city sustainable by reducing greenhouse gases by 80 per cent by 2050 and committing to zero waste landfills by 2030; reinforce resiliency to be prepared for climate-related shocks like Hurricane Sandy by upgrading private and public buildings and strengthening coastal defenses against severe weather and pre-
dicted sea level rise. Ambitious! It is all too easy to fall under the spell of idealistic imaginings and optimistic dreams. As the joke observes, the way to make God laugh is to tell Him your plans. Nonetheless, as New York Yankee Yogi Berra remarked, “If you don’t know where you’re going you might end up someplace else.” Terrace, too, is seeking input from its citizens. On the City of Terrace website, posted on April 23, 2015, is the call, “We want your feedback!” requesting citizen input into an update of the Official Community Plan. How might our priorities compare to New York’s? Economic development, long an uneven and uncertain process here in the Northwest, now threatens to overwhelm the community with changes too rapid to keep track of. Nonetheless, councilors and concerned citizens from all walks of life (business organizations, environmental organizations, unions, etc.) are actively investi-
gating opportunities and planning various responses. We are making ongoing efforts to improve affordable housing (a social justice issue) and to monitor local healthcare options that are managed through the Northern Health Authority. We’re addressing sustainability through improved recycling and more efficient handling of waste. Perhaps our most notable weakness is our approach (or lack thereof) to resiliency, although many citizens and groups (including the late Jack Talstra) have talked of the need for improved flood preparation, especially after the high water scare of 2007, and of plans for better local food sufficiency. We’re making progress, and we’re working on virtually all the same challenges as our giant cousin New York City. Check out their report, and think about adding your voice to the Terrace survey. It’s our common future at stake. Retired English teacher Al Lehmann lives in Terrace, B.C.

LNG cash The conclusion that was reached on that first night between community members and researchers was that if Flora Bank is compromised, we risk compromising the entire marine food web of the northwest coast. The second community meeting was structured drastically different. The proponents of the mega LNG projects seemed to approach the meeting as if it were a corporate sales pitch, rather than an informative discussion with the community. They spoke slowly. When questioned on the environmental risks, the proponents had one biologist on hand. There was concern from the community that the proponents had not conducted their environmental assessment in a sound manner, based on the proponents’ research methodologies that were discussed the night previous. An issue that was raised was that the report heavily relied on decades old Department of Fisheries and Oceans data, rather than current data and conditions. At the end of the second meeting, the community unanimously voted against the project proposals and the $1 billion dollar benefits package. A criticism that was raised by the community was that the process leading up to the vote did not involve ongoing community consultation. Industry and government have the duty to adequately consult and meaningfully accommodate First Nations people who have been systematically dispossessed from their lands. It seems these parties have succeeded in preventing earlier discussions with the entire community through the use of non-disclosure agreements, which limits the consultation process to the elected council and their lawyers. Free, prior and informed consent to a project that can affect the entire northwest does not come from two community meetings across 48 hours with a vote at the end of the night. The Lax Kw’alaams community wants information free of coercion, intimidation and manipulation; not a sales pitch with a billion dollar price tag. First Nations are not “anti-industry.” We want to benefit from development just as Western society has. And our community would stand to benefit from this deal; a billion dollars could pay for much needed social services. Our community, much like many other First Nations communities, is underfunded compared to urban settlements with high instances of suicide, substance abuse and poverty. However, our collective motivation for this vote stems from the fundamental belief that our environment, our culture, and our livelihoods are dependent on the health of this territory, and we want to make sure that these resources are here for generations to come. Money is not worth the risk of losing the ability to fish, hunt, and harvest traditional foods, not only for our own community, but also for those unborn and for the thousands of people who live in the Skeena watershed. At the end of the day, you can’t eat money. Lisa Girbav is a student at the University of Victoria studying political science, environmental studies, and Indigenous studies.

Currently most of the newsprint she ships south ends up in Oregon. Tooms acknowledged that dealing with waste isn’t cheap. “We are looking at putting these new facilities in places that are going to cost a lot of money, the cost for solid waste management is increasing, and we’re looking to put in systems that work, and work for most.” “We don’t expect we will have to police it at the end of the day,” he added. For Lewis, who started small during the days when there was no large scale recycling program in Terrace, her startup business has prospered as the recycling industry has blossomed. “The depot is going really well.

Warm weather continues to heighten fire danger By CECILE FAVRON WITH THE May long weekend in the near past and camping season well underway, the Northwest Fire Region has been exposed to a new and preventable threat: abandoned campfires. Over just two days of the long weekend, May 17-18, fire wardens for the BC Fire Centre found seven abandoned fires endangering the campground, said spokesperson Olivia Pojar. Failure to put a campfire out is a leading cause of wildfires in this region. There have been two new fires as of last week in the Northwest Region which spans from the Yukon along the coast and then to Endako and Tweesner Park. The only fire that was still burning as of last Friday was the sizable Inklin River Fire 90 kilometres southeast of Atlin.

Isabelle Johnny, 19, who has been charged with manslaughter, was not released at a bail hearing May 20 in provincial court here. More details can’t be given due to a publication ban. Early in the morning of Saturday, May 16, Terrace RCMP were called to a downtown Terrace apartment where they discovered Zachary Turner-Good, 25, bleeding from the chest, said police in a release May 19. He was rushed to hospital by police, but died of his wound a short time later, said police. Johnny is well known to police and at the time of the incident was on three separate probation orders, including one in relation to a domestic assault on the deceased, reported police. Members from the Terrace RCMP and specialized officers continue to investigate.

She’s continuing prom dress charity By CECILE FAVRON YOU’LL BE There is a northwest charity service based in Terrace that provides prom dresses to young women who might otherwise be unable to attend prom. With the parting of founder Darlene Delorme-Reid this year, local woman Rosalee Morgan has taken over the popular project and is helping grade 12 girls find the dress of their dreams. The dresses are donated by women across BC who have their roots in the northwest. “One of the girls I helped thought [she was] not going to be able to afford to go to prom, then she saw my Facebook group,” remembered Morgan of her early days taking over the project. You’ll Be There is now in its fifth year in Terrace and has already provided more than a dozen young women with prom and grad dresses leading up to this years’ prom on June 20th. The service sees no girl turned away and does not ask questions. “This service is for
everybody, it is entirely confidential,” said Morgan. She tries to make herself available to help the girls at all hours because many of them work after school or are young mothers who need to put their babies to sleep before they have any time for themselves. Morgan invites the girls into the dresslounge in her home to try on dresses and get their hair and make-up done. The entire process is kept secret at the girls’ wishes. Family members are invited to come along and Morgan is even accepting donations of clothing for the girls’ dates and mothers who are often in a similar situation. This year, grade 12 girls started contacting Darlene Reid and subsequently Morgan as early as January hoping to be able to afford to go to prom this year. There have also been girls coming in from the surrounding communities where they do not have a similar program, such as Kitimat, Hazelton, Kitwanga, Prince Rupert, and the Nass Valley, hoping to take advantage of Terrace’s

With the program steadily building in popularity over the years and is now in need of more donations than ever. “We need more plus-
sized dresses, more shoes, more accessories, and dry-cleaning services,” explained Morgan, even in light of overwhelming flood of dresses from donors all over the province.
Other community leaders have been overwhelmingly in favour of helping the ever-expanding program with seamstresses donating their time for alterations and other citizens offer-

Seamstress wins costume prize By CECILE FAVRON SAMANTHA RAMSAY, a local seamstress, won first prize in the Novice category at Prince George’s FanCon for her portrayal of Princess Peach from the Super Mario Brothers. The comic convention held over the Mother’s Day weekend attracted thousands of participants from around the province and many stars such as William Shatner from Star Trek. Costume player competitions – called cosplay – are a staple at these conventions and inspire the attendees to dress as their favourite character for the weekend. Ramsay wowed the judges with her expertly crafted Princess Peach costume that brought the video game character to life. “It wouldn’t have mattered if I had got a prize or not, the experience was my reward,” said Ramsay of her win. There were three categories that the cosplayers competed in, one for kids, one for novices, and one for experienced cosplayers. This was Ramsay’s first time making an elaborate costume, but she noted that she has always loved making unique clothing. “I like
making outfits for special occasions – one-ofa-kind pieces,” Ramsay explained. She estimates that the costume cost her $900 to make. She used four different bridal fabrics ordered from the Vancouver based company Fabricanna and ordered accessories from various websites. She created her own earrings from styrofoam and a cabochon from epoxy resin, nail polish, and tinfoil. She used thermal plastic, a plastic that is pliable when heated, to make her crown. “I started planning in December when I heard about Fancon and I spent all of January looking for all the materials,” said Ramsay. She made her pattern by altering commercial patterns and testing the draft using old bed sheets. After she drafted her pattern, she said she “worked on the costume for about two hours a day from March until the Con in May.” Ramsay actually only finished her costume on the first day of the FanCon. “I was hand-sewing it on the train to the Con,” Ramsay admitted. Ramsay currently works as a seamstress for LG Dresses in Terrace and is a self-taught sewer. “I learned how to sew from a friend of
my mother’s,” Ramsay explained. “She taught me the building blocks and I nurtured it.” She said there were many new skills that she had to learn in order to complete the project. She used internet tutorials such as youtube and craftsy.com to learn how to recreate parts of her costume. Now that the costume has garnered her new fame in the Northern cosplay community, Ramsay wants to keep the costume around for a while instead of selling it. However, she is already looking ahead to future years at the Prince George FanCon – her win gave her a free pass to next year’s event. “I will probably sell my costume when I need to make room in my closet for more cosplay,” she explained. The experience for her was eye-opening, even for a long-time cosplay fan. “It was a different type of coming out experience, most of your life you feel like a geek,” she said, “but then you go to FanCon and there are all these other geeks just like you there.” Ramsay has started a Facebook page for cosplayers in Northern BC and also has a Youtube channel called Ursa Minor Sewing.

Literacy Terrace celebrates new location with open house By CECILE FAVRON GOING 16-YEARSSTRONG, Literacy Terrace celebrated its new location in the former ET Kenny building with an open house this past week. The move from the old office inside Volunteer Terrace to the front portion of the ET Kenny address on Loen Avenue has prompted an increase in the numbers of learners and tutors eager to take part in their services. “We have had increased numbers because of our larger space and open atmosphere,” said executive director Murray George of the learners and tutors that are involved. The ability to have multiple programs run at one time without a conflict of space was part of the decision to move to the ET Kenny building. The need to split from the Terrace Volunteer Centre also factored into the decision to move. According to George, it was a friendly decision. “We decided to split from the Volunteer Terrace Society to help both societies expand in their different ways,” said George. Literacy Terrace has been providing Adult Literacy programs for
16 years and English as a Second Language Instruction for five years. When presented with the provincial statistic that 40 per cent of British Columbians cannot read well enough to meet their daily needs, it is clear that there is the need for such a program in Terrace. George expects that the statistic “could be even higher in this region.” The abundance of labour jobs that did not require education before the last 20 years in the Terrace area has contributed to the levels of adult illiteracy. “Those jobs are now gone, or at least require you to have good reading skills, so there are lots of people who are not contributing as much as they should be able to to society,” explained George. Compounding the problem is the reluctance of many people who struggle with literacy to ask for help. “There is a stigma about illiteracy so a lot of people hide and don’t let on that they can’t read or write,” said George. George wants people to know that they are not alone and that help is available, free of charge. The volunteer based service provides oneon-one tutoring that is

ing program for volunteer tutors. Literacy Terrace also works with other community centres such as the Skeena Diversity Center, the Northwest Community College, and the Terrace Public Library to provide the learners with many resources in the community.

Mine waits for final permitting By JOSH MASSEY
STAFF PHOTO
CAROL FIELDING’S list of community involvement projects included Hockeyville in 2009.
Chamber manager retires A LOCAL person involved in some of the key community events of the past decade is moving away. Carol Fielding has left her job as manager of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce to retire to the south Okanagan. She was a central figure in local committees struck as part of the provincial government’s effort to first secure and then promote the 2010 Winter Olympics, to make Terrace a stopping point during the Olympic torch run, in efforts to place new facilities at George Little Park and in helping stage the BC Winter Games here in 2010. But Fielding is best known for her role in having Terrace be the host for the Kraft-sponsored Hockeyville NHL exhibition game between the Vancouver Canucks and the New York Islanders in September 2009. From start to finish the Hockeyville campaign took nearly a year, beginning when the Sportsplex’s second sheet of ice was opened in the fall of 2008.
“I recall telling Jack Talstra, he was the mayor then, at the opening we should go for Hockeyville,” recalled Fielding. “He just laughed.” From that conversation grew a local organizing group which tapped a reservoir of activity involving every socioeconomic group in the community. The December 2008 Christmas parade took on a Hockeyville theme and with 26 floats, was the largest ever, said Fielding. Various activities and events and preliminary voting rounds propelled Terrace to a place on the final selection list. That sparked an intensive round of final phone and computer-based voting in the spring of 2009 based out of the former Northern Drugs location in the Skeena Mall. “We even had the street people in,” said Fielding of overnight voting sessions. “I said if you’re going to drink my coffee and eat my doughnuts, you’re going to sit there and vote. We had instructions laid out on what to do.” Fielding first lived in Ter-
race for five years in the 1970s, working for the federal Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. She moved away but then returned in 2002 after meeting local Telus worker Hans Kurth through a Harley-Davidson on-line chat room. Their love of motorcycles lead them to open a business in Thornhill which they later closed. Fielding then worked at the Terrace and District Credit Union during its merger period with the Northern Savings Credit Union, worked with the Terrace Tourism Society, worked for Enbridge along with former Skeena Liberal MLA Roger Harris and then with MacCarthy Motors. Kurth died of a heart attack in March 2010 resulting in Fielding leaving her MacCarthy job, returning after a period to the workforce as the chamber manager. Fielding also ran for the BC Liberal nomination in the lead up to the 2013 provincial election, losing to Carol Leclerc who ran unsuccessfully against current Skeena NDP
MLA Robin Austin. Fielding cites the chamber’s building up of its late fall annual business awards and its spring business expo trades show at the Sportsplex as welcome tasks. “Building up our membership. That’s been very important. And then how do we service our members,” she said. The changing economic landscape of the region with prospective major developments and an influx of new businesses using Terrace as a regional base of operations creates new opportunities for the chamber, Fielding adds. “I think particularly with smaller businesses, the chamber can play a networking role,” she said. One critical area is the chamber’s role as a business advocate to local and senior governments, Fielding said. “I think what we’ve seen here is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Fielding of the future of the area. “And that’s why while I am excited about the next adventure, I’m sad to be leaving when there are so many things happening here.”
Gauvin named as chamber president
Val Gauvin
VAL GAUVIN has been named the president of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce, replacing Janice Shaben who held that position for four years. Other changes to the chamber’s board were also made at its May 20 annual general meeting. New directors include Shaun Bilodeau,
Steven Smyth, Crystal Zaharchuck and Allen Kent while returning directors are Bert Husband, Lael McKeown and Loralie Thomson. The treasurer is Jeannine Knox and the vice president’s position remains vacant and the search continues to find someone to fill that slot.
“I look forward to working with the city to come up with ways we can help support businesses and also working with the Terrace Economic Development Authority and Kermode Tourism and any group in town that could use our support,” said Gauvin. The annual general
meeting was also the last for chamber manager Carol Fielding who has retired. She’s being replaced by Erika MagnusonFord who had been the chamber’s administrative assistant and who organized last month’s business expo, the chamber’s annual business showcase.
THE FULL opening of the Red Chris copper and gold mine north on Hwy37 North has been delayed once again with an original May start pushed back to mid-June because of continued scrutiny by the ministry of the environment in conjunction with the Tahltan First Nation environmental review board. The ministry granted a three-month temporary permit in February for the initial testing of the mine, owned by Imperial Metals, with particular emphasis on scrutinizing the tailings facility in light of concerns from the dam failure at Imperial’s Mt. Polley mine in the Cariboo last summer. That permit expired this month and now Imperial has received another temporary permit with the government saying it fully expects to grant the company the full permit soon. “A temporary discharge authorization has been issued which extends the discharge to June 15, 2015,” said environment ministry official David Karn. “This additional time allows for the review by the Ministry and Tahltan of the submissions received by Imperial Metals over the last month.” The government and Tahltan entered a comanagement partnership recently and the commissioning of the tailings facility hinges on Imperial showing it has a system of oversight in place and that the tailings facility is sound and would not suffer the same fate as the Mount Polley dam which ruptured last summer near Quesnel lake in central BC. “The tailings storage facility during this interim period has performed as designed,” said an environment ministry statement. “The company is expected to request an approval to move into full production in the coming weeks.” The Tahltan Central Council, which is the overall governing body of the Tahltan, has members with environmental certification on an environmental working group at Red Chris. This was one of the conditions in the comanagement agreement, which also assured that there would be regular reporting of activities related to the disposal of effluent above and beyond the standard reporting system through the government. As Imperial awaits the final environmental permitting for the Red Chris mine, it is financing its operation through a $80 million loan according to a recent press release on its website. This is helping them to recommission the Mount Polley mine and to extend the deadline for the Red Chris opening. The government maintains that the earthen dam at Red Chris is designed differently than the one that breached at Mount Polley spilling a hazardous concoction of chemicals into Quesnel Lake. The ministry of the environment is represented on the Red Chris Monitoring Committee formed to monitor the mine, as are Tahltan and mine staff. Red Chris began shipping its first ore earlier in April and the ministry says the temporary permit allows for such action. “The short term authorization was for the deposition of tailings in the impoundment, and there is no limitation on the shipping of concentrate produced during the commissioning of the mill. Additional surface water and groundwater monitoring has been in place, as well as oversight by a third party environmental monitor. The results of water monitoring and the findings of the environmental monitor have been reported to the Red Chris Monitoring Committee,” said the ministry statement.

Terracite wins Mister World Canada title By CECILE FAVRON
HARJINDER ATWAL, the contestant from Terrace on The Amazing Race Canada, won the coveted title of Mister World Canada 2015 on May 16 – which is also his birthday. “What an incredible [birthday] gift,” Atwal posted on his Facebook page shortly after his win. The Canadian TV star will now go on to represent Canada at the Mister World competition held in Italy this year. Atwal, with his sister Sukhi, was a contestant on the second season of the Amazing Race Canada in 2014. Their team was eliminated the day before the finale. The Mister World Canada prize is an allexpenses paid trip to the finals in Italy, a cash prize of 4,700 dollars, and the position as an ambassador for the Miss World Canada humanitarian organization. Atwal said that he chose to compete for the title in order to get noticed by the Indian film industry. “The main reason I did this was to get into the Bollywood industry,” Atwal admitted. “Within a couple of days of winning, people in the industry here and in India started reaching out to me.” Atwal’s father immigrated from India to Terrace without any prior knowledge of English and Atwal, 27, cites his father’s journey as his inspiration. Mister World Canada is coined as “a search for Canada’s Most Desirable Man” according
to the organization’s website. It is a beauty pageant, but with a male twist that puts the contestants through a variety of tests. Atwal has survived all eliminations since he was first accepted into the competition one year ago. There are five televised competitions held over the week-long event: a sports competition, a Best Talent award, a Style and Fashion award, a Social Media Genius competition, and a People’s Choice award. Atwal won the People’s Choice award and credits his support in Terrace for his win. “I wouldn’t have won if it wasn’t for Terrace, the whole community campaigned for me,” explained Atwal. Even though he won the People’s Choice award, Atwal said he did not expect to win the big prize because he did not win any other challenges. “You don’t know how well you are doing all week, the judges don’t tell you,” Atwal said. The final gala and the talent competition provided Atwal with a large audience to get him noticed. He sang Frank Sinatra’s “Come Fly With Me” to an audience of thousands for the talent competition and remembers being swarmed by “fifty or sixty people taking pictures of me” after his big win. The competition itself required Atwal, who says he was not involved in singing or dancing prior to the competition, to work hard. They had to be at the rehearsal space
practicing their choreography every day at 6 a.m. for the finale with the Miss World Canada contestants. The competition took place over May 11-16th. It was televised last weekend and can be streamed online. Atwal was born and raised in Terrace. He went to Veritas, Skeena, and Caledonia for school and worked at the local Safeway before he moved away when he was 18. He first competed a Bachelors of Science in Cellular Molecular Genetics from the University of the Fraser Valley before he moved to South-East Asia to start a business. The avid traveller sold his business and moved home to start a career in show business when he was inspired

HARJINDER ATWAL wins Mister World Canada 2015. by India’s cinemas. “India is such a poor country, but the Bollywood industry gives the people so much hope for a better life,” Atwal explained of the accessibility of the cinema for India’s poor. Now the Canadian is determined to make it big and is not afraid to put himself out there to do it. “What I have learned is that you might as well dream big because it will probably come true,” he said.

Relay for Life teams fight back THIRTY-FIVE TEAMS are fired up to continue the fight against cancer at Relay for Life this weekend. As of May 23, the total amount raised was $45,781.79, which is about 31 per cent of the $150,000 goal. And the top five fundraising teams at that point were Terrace CCS Resource Centre with $6,936, Dream Catchers with $6,071, Together with $5,010, Freedom Fighters with $3,822 and Kermodei City Slickers with $2,559. Stigma Stompers will give people the chance to “stomp” on a t-shirt of their own to make a boot-sized footprint, similar to the team’s logo on its
bright orange tank tops. Money raised from Relay for Life helps lead cancer research across Canada, influence public policy to improve Canadians’ health, focus support programs on the greatest needs of people with cancer and their caregivers, and engage more Canadians in the fight against cancers. Today, more than 60 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive compared to 25 per cent in the early 1940s when research started receiving funding. Relay for Life fights back May 30 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the Skeena Middle School track.

Tears issues under review CITY OFFICIALS continue to examine what progress has been made since a Prince George conference nine years ago issued a number of recommendations with the goal of making the region safer for aboriginal women. The idea is to determine what specific recommendations the city can champion or address, says councillor Michael Prevost who successfully had a motion to conduct the review passed by fellow council members in March. “This renewed interest followed the screening of the documentary on the missing and murdered women along Highway 16 back in March 2015,” said Prevost of LA filmmaker Matthew Smiley’s Highway of Tears documentary which was shown through the area. Highway 16 between Prince Rupert and Prince George is known as the Highway of Tears for the number of women who have been murdered or who have gone missing along the route over the past decades. The 2006 Prince George conference, attended by relatives of the murdered and missing, social services agencies and police officers, issued a number of recommendations. One of those recommendations, the call for improved transportation services along Hwy16 continues to be unfilled. That call was repeated at the annual general meeting of the North Central Local Government Association in Prince George thanks to a resolution from the District of Vanderhoof. The City of Terrace introduced a resolution to create a poverty reduction strategy. “The City of Quesnel submitted a resolution which was adopted requesting the establishment of a national commission to study the root causes of violence against indigenous women,” added Prevost of this month’s meeting in Prince George. “Collectively these resolutions adopted speak to growing concerns related to poverty, violence, and transportation challenges faced in our communities,” said Prevost. These resolutions are then submitted to
the provincial and federal governments in the hopes they will shape policy. Prevost said some of the 2006 recommendations are still relevant despite changes over the last decade like
improved cell service along the highway corridor, which the provincial government says has made hitchhiking much safer. Signs warning against hitchhiking have also been put up.
One further option is establishing a network of safehouses in the region where transient people can take refuge if they are in trouble, or possibly stay overnight, said Prevost.

Man killed in ATV accident
A MAN died after an all terrain vehicle went off Westside Road 3 km from the junction with Hwy 37 South at about 11 p.m. May 17, reported Terrace RCMP. The ATV rolled, trapping the passenger, Spencer Wardrop, 23, under it in 18 inches of water. “Other members of the public assisted in removing the male from
under the ATV and provided medical attention until the arrival of police and paramedics, but the male was pronounced deceased at the scene,” said police, adding speed and alcohol were believed to be factors in the crash. “Neither of the people involved with the collision were wearing helmets,” said Cpl. Philip Crack.

Mayor retires
By CECILE FAVRON AFTER 22 years in a building on the western edge of Terrace, the Skeena Valley Baptist Church congregation has put the structure up for sale and wants to move into town. “It is not really a great location – it is in an industrial area,” said Pastor Eric Neilsen of the church located on Griffith Ave. which is off of Hwy16 just past the Wild Duck Motel heading west out of Terrace. “Some [of our congregation] don’t have transportation and this makes in easier for them,” explained Neilsen of the planned move closer to central Terrace. The move is also intended to bring the church closer to the community enabling it to run more activities, including a food program and an addiction recover center. “We want to get more

The congregation’s current building was built in the 1960s by the Seventh Day Adventist Church and the Skeena Valley Baptists moved there in 1993 when the Seventh Day Adventists moved to a new build-

into another permanent building. The asking price for the current 1900 square-foot, two-floor church building and the 0.8 acre property is $299,000. The planned move is the latest one in a series for Terrace churches. Christ Lutheran Church sold its building on
the corner of Sparks and Park last year and the Lutheran Mission Church moved from a rented space on Agar when that building was sold last year to another rental location downtown. As well, St. Matthew’s Anglican Church has put its office building up for sale.
TERRACE MAYOR Carol Leclerc says she is looking forward to having more free time now that she has officially retired from the Coast Mountains School District where she worked for 25 years. “More people will probably see me walking around town than they have in the past because I do enjoy walking and want to get back into dragon-boating that I haven’t been able to do in the last couple years because I was busy with my masters degree,” she said. Leclerc worked in various support and administrative roles and recently spent two years as the district’s trades training coordinator, a mandate she says is now complete and no longer necessary. “Part of my job was to make sure there was money for Thornhill Junior to become the trades training centre. And we did that and we’ve got other money for shop equipment for trades training for kids, so the school district is sitting in a lot better situation today than it was two years ago,” said Leclerc. But although retired, Leclerc said she will be spending as much time as needed on city business. Leclerc said she is excited to see the outcomes of the parks study which is in this year’s city budget and says developing city land on the Bench for recreation might be a next step. “In the back of Halliwell,” she said, “it’s city property right now, people use it, there are great trails through there that are not maintained by the city, if you didn’t know that was city property you might think it’s private property and not go onto it, but it is city property and it would be good to identify those things for people.” As for seeking other jobs, she hasn’t ruled that out.

Jerome Steven Zank (Jerry) passed away peacefully at the Bulkley Lodge on May 15, 2015 at the age of 88 years. Jerry was born on August 12, 1926 in Hungary. His family immigrated to Canada when he was less than one year of age. The family lived for a short while in Saskatchewan and then settled in Ontario, where he grew up.

They later moved to B.C. and lived in the Hazeltons for many years. In 1995 they moved to Terrace until nine months ago when they moved to Smithers to be closer to family.

Border access could be restored
$60.50
AFTER MONTHS of pushback from residents, businesses, and politicians on both sides of the border, a compromise is in the works to restore 24hour access between the communities of Stewart, B.C. and Hyder, Alaska with Canada’s border services agency confirming that it has been looking at alternative options to allow people to cross the border overnight. “We have been consulting with stakeholders in and around Stewart, B.C., as well as with first responders and law enforcement partners to explore additional alternative service options,” said Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) spokesperson Robin Barcham in an email. He said that during discussions with the community “unique considerations were brought forward” and that once the logistics were worked out, CBSA would be letting the public know the specifics of the new reporting procedures. Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP Nathan Cullen said he spoke with CBSA officials last week and indicated that the solution could come by way of a 24-hour access phone that would allow residents, tourists, and workers to cross during the overnight hours. Now, there is a phone at the crossing that is for emergency access only. “It would only work if tourists, locals, people coming in from Hyder itself and to Stewart were able to get through that border as well,” said Cullen. “It’s a very unique situation.” The border connecting the two tiny communities has been closed overnight since April 1 – an open road manned by a border guard replaced with a locked gate and a phone. The two towns market themselves as a package and the residents of Hyder, which number around 90, rely on Stewart for medical and other services. Residents say they are still unclear of the motivation behind the closure. The move has been panned by stakeholders in both communities, as well as the union representing Canada’s border guards. CBSA says the amount of people using the crossing overnight didn’t justify keeping it open and staffed, so it reduced the border’s hours from open 24 hours a day to closed between midnight and 8 a.m.
The timeline should be “sooner than later and we are hopefully talking days, not months,” said Cullen. “I don’t think there’s a huge technological change we have to do, it’s just a matter of changing some of the protocols.” As for the border services agency, “talking to them last night they are fully engaged and I get the sense they feel the urgency of this – to not leaving these communities feeling so uncertain,” said Cullen. “The responsiveness of government is important in all of this. When the government makes a decision that upsets people, are they able to respond and adapt and realize a mistake was made and how can they correct it?” Earlier this month, Cullen released a statement challenging minister of public safety Stephen Blaney, the minister in charge of the file, to visit Stewart and Hyder so he could better understand the connection between the two communities. That was in response to a statement by parliamentary secretary Roxanne James in the House of Commons April 24 which called the border “unused” and noted that fewer than 10 travellers cross the border at non-peak times. Expanding on that statement, CBSA’s Barcham said that the amount of cars that cross the border varies between winter and summer months, with an average of 10 vehicles processed overnight in the summer and an average of three vehicles processed overnight in the winter for a yearly average of five vehicles crossing overnight during those hours. “The balance, representing 94 per cent of our traffic volume, cross during the hours of 8 a.m. to midnight,” said Barcham. Meanwhile, a bill urging Canadian officials to reopen the border has been making its way through the Alaskan house of representatives and senate. “For such a small border crossing it’s got a lot of attention,” said Cullen. “The very senior levels of the Canadian and US government. These borders matter and when government makes a decision that can hurt a community, it is good to see so many people who want to engage and try to make things right.” With files from Josh Massey

Barbarians take Terrace AND SO ends the Terrace Northmen’s tradition of kicking off the season at Edmonton’s Rugbyfest, the annual 7s tournament where they’ve been darlings of the social side for the last several years, and earned the championship last year. Next year, they have their eyes on Maggotfest, North America’s biggest social rugby tournament in Montana as their season opener and a chance to shake things up. This year, knowing it would be their last, the team took 12 guys to the tourney (a much smaller team than usual, in part because the team’s six firefighters needed to stay in the northwest) and decided “we were just going to have fun and just play rugby – no real strategy, just get in their and play hard,” said Northman Adam Linteris. “It worked out for us.” The team dominated the first three games in their pool, winning by wide margins, and beat the Cold Lake Penguins from Alberta in the quarter finals. But then they faced off against the BADUS Barbarians – a British Army training unit based in Alberta. “A bunch of large Fijians who knew how to play 7s rugby really well,” said Linteris, later noting that Terrace hadn’t been focusing on 7s
strategy leading up to the tournament. “They were a pretty serious team. All pretty large guys – they were skilled. Even at our best I don’t know if we would’ve had the firepower to take them out.” The Barbarians would go on to win the tournament – with the Northmen being the only team able to put up points on them. “They didn’t like our style, we were very aggressive. They were trying to stay out of conflict and we were trying to initiate conflict,” said Linteris. “By the end of the game we tired them out, you could see it. I think the final score was 34-10 – so they beat us pretty handily but I don’t think they had very much fun doing it.” Linteris said the group that went to Rugbyfest, while small, worked well together. “We’d all played together for years – you could kind of see it, everyone knew their roll and did the work,” he said. “Phil Blundon, Jamie McKinstrie, Walker Main and Werner Pienaar were huge standouts – probably the one player that stood out the most in my mind is Brady Champoux,” he said. “He’s really elevated his game this year and he exited that tournament as probably our top scorer. Did really well.”

Terrace U17s slam 2015 Slurpee Cup THEY MIGHT have left town with a small roster, but Terrace’s U17 girls soccer team returned home with a big win from the Slurpee Cup in Kamloops over the long weekend. And it was a long time coming – this team has come close before at the annual tournament but this year saw them finally clock the most points overall and tie for first in the final with Vernon. Thanks to the team’s placement in the U18 age bracket, the team of 12 picked up two U18 girls, Rosalyn Fassnacht and Harjot Pandher, adding to their still short bench. Terrace striker Jewel Hall’s injury in game one added to the challenge. But the team rose to the challenge and didn’t lose a match. Terrace began by tying Vernon – who they’d go on to meet in the final – 1-1 in a hard fought tournament opener that saw Hannah Jay named MVP. Next up, Kamloops, the tournament host. Despite dominating the play, Terrace “can not buy a goal in the first half,” said coach Sean Bujtas. But a Kamloops goal 10 minutes into the second half ramps up Terrace’s
play, and six minutes later Terrace retaliates with a corner kick by Jenna Hoornenborg that’s smashed into the back of the net by midfielder Jay. And with five minutes to go Rosalyn Fassnacht sends a ball for Hoornenborg who splits two defenders and scores the winning goal, making it 2-1. Hoornenborg – the only 15-year-old on the team – would earn MVP. Hoornenborg would be named MVP again after the team’s 1-0 win over Vancouver United in game three – a very physical back-and-forth battle that got rough very quickly and seemed like it would end in a draw. But with eight minutes left Hoornenborg drives a ball at the Vancouver goalie who is forced to give up a big rebound. That’s when Fassnacht who was trailing the play picked up the rebound and lobbed over the Vancouver keeper’s head as she watched it helplessly go in. The win put Terrace with 15 points, two wins and a tie and Vernon behind them in the standings with nine points, one win, one tie, and one loss.

TERRACE HOCKEY player Myah Bowal accomplished one of her many goals this year. And that’s earning an invitation to BC Hockey’s U18 top 40 camp as an underage player, where she was the only underage forward to qualify. But while she didn’t make the cut to the next round, she still has plenty of opportunity ahead of her and the experience at the camp – and the year she’s just wrapping up in Richmond – has her making plans for the future. Her spring team, Selects BC Hockey, travelled to Florida for an NCAA showcase earlier this year, where she received interest from a number of schools, and wrapped up a tournament in Richmond last week. There, the 2000-born team played in the higher midget division and as of Friday afternoon was up 2-0. And Bowal will be in Winnipeg for the North American Classic Tournament June 3-7 before heading back to Terrace for the summer to train with Terry Monture. Then she’ll be trying out for the Prince George Cougars in August.

This set up a rematch with Terrace and Vernon for game four and the final. At the end of the tournament and knowing it had a short bench, Terrace knew it had to come out hard. Striker Ashlee Wojnarowski at the sixminute mark of the game capitalized on the keeper not having full control of the ball after a save, pushing it past the goalie where Hoornenborg grabbed it and sent it to the back of the net.

But five minutes later Vernon is awarded a free kick on the top of Terrace’s 18yard box after a defender had taken a very unlucky hand ball. Vernon strikers placed the ball perfectly in the top right corner out of the reach of Terrace keeper Alex Bujtas. Vernon, noticing Terrace’s short bench, tried to take advantage of this by rotating their bench quickly and getting fresh legs on the field.
xcept for a slow, irritating leak in the left leg of my waders, it was a fine morning on the river. The sun lit the land and warmed the air. The river was clear and was just high enough to add some excitement to the enterprise. After a week in Vancouver where I’d been subjected to relentless noise, jammed into skytrains with plugged in, tuned out people, it was exhilarating to be with the dog, my ears filled with the song of birds and the distant rush of the river. The small cutthroat and steelhead smolts were abundant. After freeing a dozen of them, I found a pair of large Dolly Varden lying in a dark gut alongside a log. They grabbed my Silver Amherst Minnow and struggled valiantly until I could bring them close enough to slip the sleeve of my catch and release tool down the line to the hook and twist them free. We moved downstream, where the river is steeper, deeper, and quicker. I was thankful for the stout Bob Taylor-made wading staff. A week earlier, with the river a few inches lower, I’d used the folding wading staff, a new piece of equipment designed for back packing use, and found it trembled like an aspen branch in a stiff breeze. By the time I’d crossed the stream three times on a downstream angle, I’d released half a dozen large cutthroat and been beaten by a dozen more. When I’d reached the shore on river left, I’d slipped into the

With a hemostat and clipper attached, the wallet is everything a steelheader needs. It opens on the wearer’s chest so that everything is readily available. Don built one for Finlay and placed a dozen others in fly shops. They all sold. Like most things leather, my wallet has acquired a patina over time and works better than ever. Like my wading staff, it can’t be replaced. I’d stopped a couple of times to get rid of breakfast tea and the green tea I drank for lunch. Some manufacturers make old men waders with zippers. Mine are the leaky type that need to be pulled down before taking a leak. Because I was wearing a back pack, each time I had to take off my gear. In a state somewhere between anxiety and panic, I retraced my steps. Lines, leaders, tools, probably 150 flies, and the wallet itself were at stake. That I couldn’t exactly remember where I’d stopped for relief and for lunch made matters even more tense. At the last spot – the lunch spot – I found the spruce log, climbed up it and felt around until I felt my wallet under the ground cover of low lying green shrubbery. I put it around my neck, made a note to myself to take an inventory at every stop henceforth, and proceeded to have a good day.

Worker was thrown from high up platform Newly strung conductors are secured permanently to the insulation hardware and the tower by “pinning in,” continued the report. Conductors, with their implosion sleeve and attachments eyes, are then ready to be connected to the turnbuckle at the insulator glass, said the report. “In order to perform this work, two workers are elevated in a cranesupported work platform that is pinned to an attachment mounted to the tip of a truckmounted crane’s telescoping boom. “The workers instruct the crane operator to position them under the chain jacks to prepare for pinning in the conductor,” said the report. The crew took a break at 5:30 p.m. and afterward, Thornewell and a co-worker were elevated 22 metres to their work position, continued the report. The crane operator, who controls the engine with a foot pedal that controls the boom’s hydraulic system, was standing next to the base of the boom just behind the cab of the truck, continued the report. He “could not directly see Thornewell or the right side and bottom of the work platform and was following the coworker’s hand signal to lower the boom. “The operator tried to boom down but the platform did not move. “He was again signalled to boom down but still nothing moved as the work platform was hung up on components of the conductor. “When the tension created by the hang-up released, the work platform was freed, causing the crane boom and work platform to suddenly drop several metres. “The platform then swung violently at the pinned connection point between the work platform and the attachment to the crane.” Thornewell was thrown from the platform and fell on his back where he was found with no vital signs, continued the report. The company’s first aid personnel started
CPR and he was transported with a workplace emergency vehicle, said the report. “BC Ambulance Services personnel met the emergency vehicle at the Cedar River Bridge at approximately [6:28 p.m.] and continued with resuscitation efforts without success,” continued the report.
Thornewell had extensive training in fall protection and his lineman certification, which he had received in Alberta in 2010, said the report. The work platform had a hand friction brake that would reduce the swinging of the platform, continued the report.
“An inspection of the unit determined that there were no defects that would have caused the incident and that the hand brake had not been applied at the time of the incident,” read the coroner’s report. Additionally, the report said “Thornewell was witnessed to have smoked cannabis dur-
ing the break at [5:30 p.m.], just prior to returning to work.” Cannabis was found in his system “which indicated recent use,” according to a toxicology report which also said the results “indicated use of cocaine.” Coroners are charged with finding facts and not fault involved in a
death. Valard and McGregor have the same parent company and were merged into one entity in January this year. BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line was completed last summer to both supply power to industrial projects from the provincial
grid north of Terrace and to feed power generated by run-of-river hydroelectric projects into the provincial grid. The transmission line begins at BC Hydro’s Skeena Substation near Terrace and runs 344 kilometres north, ending at another substation at Bob Quinn on Hwy37 North.
