Time for truth, reconciliation By JOSH MASSEY FOR LOUSIA Gray, the social damage caused by residential schools is something she deals with every day at her job and in the memories of what they did to her family growing up. “I still see in other families a lot of alcohol abuse and family violence,” says Gray, a social worker and counsellor with 17 years experience in the area. “I think it stems from the affects of residential school because many were physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and sexually abused and a lot of them carried on and abused others, including their own children.” And for herself, it’s difficult to speak of the life she had of drinking every day before earning a Bachelor of Arts degree and then to raise a family where drugs and alcohol aren’t abused and there is no violence. Gray reflected on both her professional and personal life last week following the release of the federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s summary of six years of testimony into the effects of more than century of aboriginal children being sent to residential schools. The commission travelled the country over six years including a stop in Terrace in 2013 where local First Nations had a chance to contribute to the permanent record of residential school experiences which will be archived at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. A total of almost 7,000 statements were made and will be included in the final comprehensive report yet to be released.

Born in Greenville in the Nass Valley, Gray, who is Nisga’a, identifies as a second generation residential school survivor, with several of her brothers and sisters having gone through that system and she herself having spent four years at a domestic boarding school in Surrey starting at age 17 where she says she suffered many of the same abuses. “They were called boarding homes, and that is where the Department of Indian Affairs placed a lot of students that didn’t go to residential schools,” Gray said. She added that she feels the government should have
included those boarding schools in the commission’s work. “When I contacted tuberculosis I was about 3 or 4 years old,” Gray said. “And I had to stay in Miller Bay [near Prince Rupert] for a year.” “It was one of the diseases that Europeans brought over with small pox, some of my brothers and sisters died from smallpox.” Gray said that the federal government’s program to compensate survivors, one that was in the works before and continued after a formal apology by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to aboriginal peoples in Parliament in 2008, lead to even more of them dying from alcoholism-related health problems.

Power projects opened NEARLY $1 billion of capital expenditure in northwestern B.C. was recognized June 2 with the official opening of three run-of-river power projects along the Iskut River developed by Calgary-based energy company AltaGas. The largest of the three – the Forrest Kerr facility at 195 megawatts and the smallest, Volcano Creek, at 16 megawatts – began producing power last year while the 66-megawatt McLymont Creek facility is to be finished this year. On hand for the opening were members from the Tahltan First Nation, on whose traditional territory the projects are located, Tahltan Central Council president Chad Day, energy and mines minister Bill Bennett, aboriginal relations and reconciliation minister John Rustad and AltaGas chairman and chief executive officer David Cornhill. Power produced by the facilities is be-
ing sold to BC Hydro and feeds into the provincial grid through a substation at Bob Quinn, the end point of BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line which itself was finished last August. Speaking after the opening, energy minister Bill Bennett called the three projects a crucial addition to northwestern B.C. infrastructure. “Without these projects we wouldn’t have a Northwest Transmission Line,” said Bennett. AltaGas paid a lump sum and is making annual payments which together will total $180 million toward the $716 million cost of the Northwest Transmission Line. Its power sales deal with BC Hydro is for 60 years. The 287kv line is also expected to lead to other northwestern developments, chiefly mining projects.

May weather sets a record By ANNA KILLEN IF YOU thought last month’s weather was one for the record books, you’d be right. Last month was the warmest May on record for Terrace, B.C. with the average temperature of 14.2 degrees coming in well above the typical average of 10.6 degrees. The average mean temperature also beat the previous record of 13.9 degrees – set exactly 100 years ago in 1915. “Quite a bit higher than normal and quite a bit drier than normal and that’s something we’ve seen throughout the coast last month,” said Environment Canada meteorologist Andre Besson, who noted that the southern coast of the province broke records for lack of precipitation – as did Prince Rupert. “It was very interesting weather-wise,” he said. “Obviously it’s been warmer than normal … and that’s more so the story for most of the province.” Terrace only received 17.4 mm of precipitation in May. That’s about 30 per cent of the 56.4 mm the city typically receives, making this past May the ninth driest one on record. The reason for this, according to Besson, is that there was an upper ridge of high pres-

WARM WEATHER continues into June as shown here by Ethan Braam, Val Pepe, Opi Pepe and Alex Braam at the June 6 farmers market. sure anchored over the eastern Pacific for most of last month which deflected the moisture further north – it essentially moved the jet stream. “The upper ridge of high pressure just influences the whole weather pattern over western Canada,” he said. “A lot of the moisture that would have travelled through the north coast and Yukon moved to Alaska.” He added that the sea sur-
face temperatures are also well above normal – and that that’s been the trend since last fall. “That’s why every single month we have temperatures that are higher than normal,” he said. “And those waters are not dissipating, so we are expecting that trend to persist throughout the summer.” While warmer than normal temperatures are expected to continue in B.C., Besson said it is harder to forecast how wet
or dry it will be because precipitation is more driven by local events as opposed to a widespread system. And if you thought Terrace’s weather was abnormal, it wasn’t the biggest anomaly for temperature. That crown goes to the Yukon, where “in mid-May it was warmer in Old Crow (Northern Yukon) than it was in Toronto at 27-27 degrees – 16-17 degrees above normal.”

Can’t blame worms on temperatures A LOCAL tree expert isn’t convinced that an increase in web worms affecting trees being reported around the area can be completely due to this spring’s warmer weather. “I believe the main reason they are spreading is that many fruit tree owners do nothing to help manage and control these pests in their trees,” says Charles Claus. “Fruit trees are high maintenance trees. If a home owner is not prepared to manage their trees they frequently end up with incubator trees that serve to invest similar trees in their neighbourhood.” Claus says spraying lime sulphur dormant oil during dormancy goes a long way to control web worm. “Now that the bugs are here, control of web worm in apple trees and crab apple trees can be achieved organically with BTK, provided there are still leaves left on the tree,” he says. “The worms eat leaves coated with BTK, it gets into their stomachs and it causes them to die.” “If the tree has been defoliated, something other than BTK will need to be used. In that case, two organic options would be “Trounce” containing pyrethrum extract and insecticidal soap and “End All’ containing Neem oil and Pyrethrum.” And Claus adds that the hot dry weather means fruit trees should be given a generous soaking at least once a week. And if apple, pear and plum trees bear lots of fruit, they should be pruned to reduce stress as that makes them more prone to disease and a biannual production cycle. Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (BTK for short) is a rod-shaped bacterium that occurs naturally on dead or decaying matter in soil.

Our bad habits could be deadly
TOO MANY pedestrians and motorists aren’t following basic traffic and safety rules, concludes the Northern Brain Injury Association after conducting a survey here last fall. And topping the list is distraction, the association found. Volunteers recorded observations on local streets for six hours spread out over Sept. 9-11, 2014, watching motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. Of the total pedestrians observed, just 15 were found to be aware of their own safety. “Sadly though, despite all the recent media coverage about increasing pedestrian injury and death rates in B.C., nine pedestrians used jaywalking as their preferred means of crossing a roadway,” the survey found. “Nineteen people did not bother to look in both directions before stepping into the path of traffic and 21 did not use crosswalks in the proper way.” “But, a number that absolutely horrifies, is 30 pedestrians were distracted by a device or activity while crossing a roadway, and were oblivious to approaching danger.” Volunteers were happier with motorists, saying that of 2,521 drivers observed, 2,049 did all the right things. Yet, in what the association called “the scariest statistic of all,” 76 vehicle operators “intentionally drove while distracted, putting themselves and innocent people in Terrace at extreme risk of injury or death.” Of the drivers observed, 17 were not wearing seatbelts and one person did not have a child in a restraint. Observers also found that 378 drivers “openly violated provincial motor vehicle laws although no examples were provided. Distraction was not a factor for cyclists, but ts of 61 observed, 44 were tt not wearing helmets despite a law requiring head protection. That put themselves at the “unnecessary risk ., Terrace of a catastrophic lifechanging injury,” said 020 ywest.ca the association.

Stop signs were ignored by 27 cyclists and 18 road against traffic, on sidewalks or through intersections. Association volunteers also conducted surveys in Burns Lake, Quesnel, Mackenzie and Prince George. The surveys are conducted each year. “Our goal is to reveal the actual number of people in communities, that we observed, whose actions put

themselves and others at extreme risk of injury or death in northern British Columbia,” the association states. It defines distracted driving as any activity other than operating a motor vehicle and for pedestrians, distraction as using a device or involvement in an activity while crossing a roadway. With the survey now complete, copies have been sent to northern authorities.

THE FIRST Sacred Heart church in Terrace, B.C.
Sacred Heart Local Catholic parish celebrates 100 years strong SACRED HEART Parish is celebrating its 100th year by acknowledging the interesting history that made the church what it is today. The roots of the church can be traced all the way back to the Klondike gold rush which drew two particular people to the region – Olier Besner and Madame Artaud – who individually sought their fame and fortune. But it wasn’t the Yukon where the couple met. Instead it was Prince Rupert and that’s where they were married in 1908 and where they were prominent within the Catholic community. Before the marriage, Artaud had built the Old Knox Hotel and the New Knox Hotel, the latter notable landmark that visitors saw when they arrived by steamer. In 1915, she bought property in Terrace and later donated it for the first Catholic church on Lakelse Ave. where the modern day Skeena Mall is located. The name Sacred Heart came at the request of the Ladies Auxiliary of Extension
of Toronto, who had sent $500 towards the cost of the church, vestments, linen, and an altar. In 1923 under direction of Father Allard of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) the bell tower was erected. The parish grew quickly and in 1930, Besner donated five more acres of land. In 1936, Father Champagne built a small school next door. It was later converted to a rectory in 1940 by Father Fabre. A 40-foot extension was built onto the church in 1951-52 by the Knights of Columbus with Grand Knight Henry Fortin directing the work. Father Mohan directed the opening of an eight-room school in the fall of 1959 and he named the school Veritas, the Latin word for truth. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto arrived and took charge of the new school that same year and a convent was built in 1960. For many years, the sisters staffed the school along with the Frontier Apostles, who had come to northern B.C. from
High enrollment at school VERITAS CATHOLIC School was started by the Sacred Heart Parish in 1959. It was originally an eight-classroom building located beside the church in the place where the Skeena Mall now resides. In 1973, the school buildings were moved to their present-day location on Straume and the gymnasium and office building were added. In its early days, the school hosted kindergarten to Grade 12 for catholic children in Terrace, but in the 1980s – a time when many Catholic families in Terrace moved out of town for economic reasons
– the school started accepting non-Catholic children as well. Veritas was then, for many years, a kindergarten to grade seven school. In 2013, a Grade 8 class was added to the school followed by a Grade 9 class in 2014. “Our school is very much in demand,” said the school’s principal Dave Crawley, citing the overwhelming number applications for kindergarten the school receives each year. In fact, more than 50 per cent of the students who attend the school of over 200 students are non-Catholic. Veritas offers the full BC curriculum as well as shop classes, foods,
sewing, and mandatory band for older grades. There has also been a mandatory first aid program introduced recently to certify all students. Veritas raises money through tuition fees, the Sacred Heart Parish, and the Knights of Columbus to finance additions to the school. Students maintain their connection with the neighbouring parish every morning through prayer and once a month by attending mass in the church. “We are on the cusp of big changes,” explained Crawley of Veritas’ success. “We are looking at a possible expansion in the next five years.”
all over the world to build and staff Catholic schools. The sisters left the diocese in 1988. The Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) were here from 1917 to 1994. Sacred Heart Parish expanded as the population grew and the downtown changed. In 1972, the church property was sold and part of the school and the convent were relocated from Lakelse Ave. to the church property on a large piece of land on Straume Ave. A group was interested in moving the old church and preserving it, but since it was built in several different sections, it would have been extremely difficult to move and so a new church was built. Portions of the new church have since been renovated. Sacred Heart Parish will mark its centenary this Friday, June 12, with a thanksgiving mass. It’ll be followed by a reception and a farewell for Father Terry Brock who is leaving. A barbecue and fair will be held Sunday 12:30 at the church.

The Knights of Columbus THE KNIGHTS of Columbus, a male charitable organization, formed a Terrace branch on May 20, 1961. The local branch of the global fraternity with over 1.8 million members worldwide began with only 47 members, but has since grown to have an active membership of 112 Catholic men. The Knights of Columbus organization began in Connecticut in 1882 when Father Michael J. McGivney started the organization as a statement of the Catholic faith in the name of its patron Christopher Columbus. The council in Terrace became known as the Father Andrew Allison OMI (Oblates of Mary Immaculate) Council 5149 in the 1980s after Father Allison’s death in a canoeing accident on the Stikine River. Father Allison moved the church and the school to their present location on Straume Ave. in the early 1970s. The Terrace chapter raises money for various causes in Terrace since it began over five decades ago. In the past, the Knights of Columbus have been involved with raising money for the Terrace Churches Food Bank and the R.E.M. Lee Hospital Foundation and has donated $15,000 towards the Terrace Sportsplex project and $17,000 towards the senior citizen housing complex. They were also prime initial organizers of the Pacific Northwest Music Festival and continue to be the largest sponsor of the event today. Recently, the Knights of Columbus has brought the Special Olympics to Terrace, a cause that the national society is very involved with. They also distribute unclaimed lottery money from the BC Lotteries Foundation to various charities in Terrace. The Knights of Columbus maintains their dedication to the Sacred Heart Parish church through monthly pancake breakfasts, support for Veritas school, and volunteer labour for the upkeep of the church and the school. “Our past Brother Knights have left us with tradition and legacy that has kept our council motivated and vibrant,” said Grand Knight Gaulter Rego. “Fraternity, Charity, Unity, and Patriotism is our motto and we try our best to live by those four words.”
Catholic Women’s League THE CATHOLIC Women’s League in Terrace was started 69 years ago on April 5, 1946. It is the local chapter of the Catholic Women’s League of Canada which dates back to 1920. The three women who were instrumental in bringing the league to Terrace were the president Mrs. J. Spitzel, the secretary Mrs. J. Gordon, and the spiritual advisor Father N. Racette. Sometime in the first few years, the church rectory caught fire and destroyed all the archives that were stored in the basement. The early history of the league in Terrace has thus been compiled through some of the early members’ memories. The objective of the league was to promote and strengthen the Catholic community in Terrace. They did this through hosting weddings, funerals, baby showers, bazaars and New Year’s Eve dances. They also hosted regular bingo tournaments with the Knights of Columbus through which they raised money for the building of Veritas Catholic School in 1959. All these events were hosted at the Sacred Heart Hall which has since burned down. “The comradery is very special for all these dedicated women,” said the current President Rachel Cote in summing up the impact of the league. The Catholic Women’s League is still going strong and continues to support Terrace’s Catholic community.

EDITORIAL Way forward IF THERE is a way forward from the history of the residential school experience in Canada as told through the thousands of people who testified before the federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the glimmerings of it can be found in northwestern B.C. And that’s through the steady establishment of the new reality of complete and full aboriginal involvement in the region’s resource extraction industry. Whether it be mining or forestry or the increasingly dark horse possibility of a liquefied natural gas industry, aboriginal equity positions and aboriginal business and employment opportunities are now a part of any corporation’s business plan as is lining up financing on the stock market. The groundwork for all of the above lays out the prospect of wealth creation for aboriginal companies, aboriginal governments and for aboriginal individuals. For it is only through societal and individual wealth creation that roads can be paved, clean water provided, houses constructed, schools built and people fed. From the Tahltan and the Nisga’a to the north of Terrace to Kitselas to the east and to Kitsumkalum to the west, there’s a new way of doing things, one which will pay off in the years head. And for the rest of us who live up here, the inescapable conclusion is that as aboriginal peoples benefit, so will we all.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI the toilet bowl left by sprinkling in SeptoBac powder and not flushing immediately, in a few hours white vinegar removed all signs of the stain with only gentle brushing. So when I read on Facebook a relative’s comment that a mixture of one gallon of white vinegar, two cups of Epsom salts and a quarter cup of blue Dawn dishwashing liquid would kill weeds as effectively as Monsanto’s chemical, Roundup, I mixed a batch and tested it on an isolated dandelion displaying half a dozen robust blooms. Facebook advised sprinkling on the vinegar mixture
after the dew had evaporated about mid forenoon. This I did. Within 24 hours the dandelion had wilted flat; days later it still shows no sign of life. The spot is brown with no hint of green. Testing it first on an isolated dandelion displaying half a dozen blooms. Next morning the dandelion had wilted flat and so far has not shown signs of reviving. Reassured it worked, I tried it out on a rectangle of moss about 4 x 8 feet. By next morning, the three-inch high green moss in my experimental plot had transformed into a tan area of shrunken, dry crumbles. Still, the sparse grass that grew there appears untouched, as are two eightinch high cherry seedlings standing sturdy and green. Mixing the recipe will take some refining. I had expected the Epsom salts to melt like sugar, demanding little extra space when added to the vinegar. But that’s not how Epsom salts react. Vinegar overflowed, necessitating dividing the concoction into two containers and pouring back and forth to mix the ingredients.
S TANDARD
Next batch I’ll try melting the salt in a cupful of simmering vinegar so I won’t end up with crystals that no doubt dilute the mixture and definitely plug the sprayer. As a sprayer, I used a watering can but undissolved Epsom salt plugged the sprinkler holes. I happened to be packaging recycling that week and found a plastic Tang container the size of a pint thermos. I drilled a pattern of 1/16 inch holes in the lid. They proved perfect for the job, but slow. Talking to a gardener whose lawn rivals Butchart’s Gardens, he suggested I try a hand pump sprayer. Walmart‘s website shows an RL Flo-Master one or two gallon sprayer with a nozzle that can be adjusted from mist spray to a single stream. The gardener uses one filled with water to control the perimeter of a fire when he burns off dry grass in the spring. At Walmart I found an RL Flo-Master one gallon hand pump sprayer for $11.17. As soon as I assemble the parts, I’ll give it a try. Claudette Sandecki mixes up concoctions in Thornhill, B.C.

MARK HART PHOTO
SPLIT IN helmet shows the force of impact with a road surface experienced by cyclist Mark Hart.
Wearing a helmet saved my life Dear Sir: I am writing this letter to thank the two couples who helped me when I had a cycling accident on Saturday, May 30 around noon on Highway 16 west of the Kalum River. I was going around 28/30 KPH when all of a sudden I went from that to zero. A piece of wood had flown
up and lodged in my front wheel. Needless to say I flew over my handle bars with my feet still clipped to the pedals. I landed straight on my head. Thank God I had my helmet on. The impact cracked the helmet all the way through. The first couple on scene
helped me off the side of the road. While they were examining the extent of my injuries, another couple in a white pick up pulled over as well. They said they would help me to town or the hospital if needed and I needed that assistance. They took me to Mills Memorial Hospital, got me into a
chair took me into emergency where I received great care. The couple even took my bike home and informed my family of what had happened. Words can’t thank them enough. I am lucky to be alive thanks to wearing a helmet.

Dear Prime Minister: Re: Our Dreams Matter Too, a national walk for equity for First Nations children At this time in our national life, when we are focused on reconciling our relationship with the first peoples of our country, people across Canada are walking to bring attention to the seventh anniversary of your apology to survivors of residential schools and to bring to your attention that their children, their grandchildren and in some cases their great grandchildren continue to be underserved by the country that apologized to them. We are painfully aware of the effects of residential school and the families that are struggling to address the personal demons of addictions, violence, child abuse and neglect and the public demons of poverty, lack of
Rob Hart housing and inadequate services that create the fertile ground for these problems. As social workers, we need to tell you that without the preventive effect of adequately funded public services, the remedial work with children and families will be doubly difficult. We ask you to make a deeper public investment in these services until the need for them is gone. We do not want to have to ask you for a second apology.

Vigilance needed to maintain fair share push
L
OCAL governments throughout the northwest have been keeping an eye on events in the northeast because what has happened there will affect residents here. Those events began this spring with a letter sent to northeastern governments by provincial community development minister Coralee Oakes. She wanted to arbitrarily renegotiate the Fair Share agreement signed by the province with northeastern governments. It provides a share of resource taxation to northeastern governments in recognizing that while resource development puts a strain on local governments, those industries are outside of local government boundaries and not subject to local taxation. Having decided that the deal was too rich, Oakes and the province wanted to cap the annual amount even though the current agreement calls for annual payments to be based on actual taxation revenue. And this was de-
spite the agreement running until 2020. The Oakes letter resulted in protests by those local northeastern governments saying a proposed cap would provide far less money than what was called for in the agreement. Those protests, the cause also taken up by the NDP opposition in the legislature, touched off a series of negotiations which concluded with a new agreement two weeks ago. A close reading of the agreement now reveals that it will provide far less money for the northeast than did the one it replaced. While we need to respect the northeastern governments in making decisions as they see fit, we have to ask why the province wanted to unilaterally ditch the old one in the first place, putting a strain on the northeast. It’s obvious now the province has a plan of how it wants to treat regions. During the 2013 provincial election, Premier Christy Clark made much of what she called a “rural dividend” to be
GUEST COMMENT
BRUCE BIDGOOD financed by what she expected would be multi-billions from liquefied natural gas developments. True to her word, after her 2013 win, Clark created a revenue sharing portfolio and assigned it to Oakes. And there was money the next year for northwestern governments to help plan for growth and infrastructure needs. So far, so good. Then this spring the Ministry
of Forests, Lands and Natural Operations unveiled its new Rural Advisory Council comprised of 14 individuals from across the province, including former Terrace Mayor David Pernarowski. According to the government press release, “The mandate of the council is to provide input to government policy decisions to best support thriving rural communities...while keeping in mind government’s need to control spending and ensure an overall balanced budget for the province....the council will also advise on the rural dividend.” It is unclear why the government requires a “new” rural voice, as it has a caucus of rural MLAs which has provided advice to the government for more than a decade. Is this new rural advisory council meant to rubber stamp any decision reached by the province about revenue sharing? Also this spring the provincial government formally turned down, at least for now, the idea of a northwestern resource benefits
alliance. It did so saying that because there isn’t a liquefied natural gas industry yet to tax, there’s no revenue to share. The alliance was first launched last August as the North West Resource Benefits Alliance to negotiate a northwestern Fair Share agreement based on the same principles as exist in the northeast. The turn down by the province is troubling. There’s no reason why the province can’t negotiate a northwestern resource revenue sharing agreement so that it’s ready whenever needed. And there are other industries being developed which could come under the fair share umbrella. Clearly, when it comes to protecting and promoting northwest interests, we need to be vigilant and persistent in order to receive our fair share of resource taxation revenue. Bruce Bidgood was a City of Terrace councillor and Chair of the Regional District of KitimatStikine during the formation of the resource benefits alliance.

Family of woman finds closure Dear Sir: It has been a long and difficult journey but the outpouring of love, selflessness and support experienced during the search and recovery of my sister Jody Frocklage last month has been a beautiful and much-needed healing experience for us all. The Frocklage and Fekete families thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts. We have found peace, truth and closure. Jody went missing on Kalum Lake in late December last year and that began us on our difficult journey. She was not found then and our journey took us to Gene and Sandy Ralston who, with John Zeman, travelled to Terrace last month to look for Jody with their boat and sonar equipment. The Ralstons and John were graciously accommodated by Dave Lockhart at Kalum Camp for the duration of the search which was arranged by Ken Anderson with Terrace Search and Rescue. The task of locating Jody in Kalum Lake was daunting and seemingly impossible. After twelve hours a day on the water, driven by passion, love and knowledge, on the sixth day Jody was found. There are not words to

Daycare spaces increase for two local organizations THE PROVINCIAL government says it’s going to sign agreements with two local organizations to increase the amount of licensed child-care spaces in the area. Based on project agreements, the Kermode Friendship Society is to receive $499,721 to create 62 spaces – 12 for infants and 50 for children aged three to five years – at its Kermode Child Care Centre. And in Thornhill, the Rock Christian Community non-denominational church is to receive $380,885 for 56 spaces – 12 for infants/toddlers, 24 for children aged three to five years and 20 for school-age children – in the school district’s closed Copper Mountain Elementary school. The church has been renting meeting space in the school for some years.
The money for more child care spaces in the area is part of a $8.2 million provincial expansion program announced June 5. Money for the Kermode Friendship Society represents 75 per cent of the costs of its expansion while the money for the Rock Christian Community represents 90 per cent of the costs of its expansion. The two local organizations are among 26 child care providers across the province to receive money under the expansion. The only other place in the area where daycare spaces are to increase as part of the June 5 announcement is Hazelton. There the Gitanmaax band is to receive $500,000 for 34 spaces at Gitanmaax Nursery School – 12 infant/toddler spaces and 22 preschool spaces.

Wildfire total inches up as summer takes hold THERE HAVE been 29 fires in the northwestern portion of the province this year and that number is above the 10-year average of 24 for the northwest for this time of year. A whopping 17 of these fires have been caused by humans. Over the course of last week, two small fires were sparked near Kitamaat Village and Smithers. Both fires were quickly extinguished, but crews are still investigating as to the cause of the fires. Another small fire was sparked by lightning southeast of Burns Lake near Intata Reach, but is now out. Another small fire north of Bob Quinn is currently being monitored and crews are checking back periodically for smoke or heat. The Northwest Fire Region spans the Cassiar, Skeena, Bulkley, and Nadina regions of the province. Five large fires – located in the remote northern sections of the region – have yet to be extinguished since they were started back in May. The Kakiddi Creek fire located 25 kilometres
west of Iskut is now in patrol status after crews aggressively attacked the fire last week to prevent it from threatening the town. There are still three fires burning southeast of Atlin at the Salmon River Basin, Langhorse Mountain, and Inklin River. The Red River fire northeast of Boya Lake Provincial Park is also still active. All four of these fires were started by lightning. These fires are burning in remote regions and are not threatening any structures so wildfire crews are allowing the fires to play their roles in the natural ecosystem. Still, because of the increased fire activity in the north of the region, three senior firefighting personnel have been stationed in the Cassiar to monitor the fire conditions. One of the four 20-person unit crews in the region has been sent to Alberta to support wildfire management activities in that province. As of the weekend, there were 72 wildfires burning across British Columbia. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call *5555 on your cellphone or 1-800-663-5555 toll-free. ING!

Relay for Life travels through the decades THE ORGANIZERS of this year’s Relay for Life couldn’t be happier with how the 16th annual event turned out. Over 300 people participated and the community raised over $102,000. “Relay this year was fantastic and a big success,” said Canadian Cancer Society Leadership Chair Jessica Gaus. “Beautiful weather made for a great spring Relay event filled with a lot of fun, wonderful food, and fantastic entertainment.” The May 30 event kicked off at 10:00 a.m. at Skeena Middle School with the traditional survivor ceremony before the survivor lap, this year lead by Majagaleehl Nisga'a Marching Band. “Definitely one of the highlights of the day,” said Gaus. The day-long fundraising event is a chance for the community to come together and raise money and awareness for the fight against cancer. Participants walk or run
together around a track or path at a local school, park or fairground, passing a baton to their fellow participants. This year’s theme “Relaying through the Decades” was wellreceived with many people wearing bell-bottoms, tie dye shirts, and side ponytails. “Individual events at this year’s celebration included fundraisers held by individual teams in tents, a flash mob, free yoga and zumba, a watermelon eating contest (one of the biggest highlights!), a kids activity tent, local live music, and more,” she said. “And one of the new features this year was the ‘Blue Couch’ Relay video, filmed by Robert Pictou from CFTK, which captures the stories of why people Relay.” she said. “Everyone has lost someone to cancer and the video highlights the people we are all celebrating, remembering, and fighting for - a mother, an uncle, a
brother, a friend. “The most memorable and emotional events for me were the survivor’s lap honoring cancer survivors and the luminary lap honoring those who are no longer with us.” In Terrace “there were over 300 participants and 36 teams that were registered – including survivors, caregivers, and supporters – who participated in Terrace’s 16th Relay for Life. We also had more come on the day of Relay that didn’t register,” said Gaus. The top five fundraisers are Terrace CCS Resource Center, Dream Catchers, Freedom Fighters, Together, and Lakelse Dragons and the entire community raised over $102,000 – short of the $150,000 goal but “the number continues to climb as last minute totals come on.” Donations are still being accepted at www.relayforlife.ca/terrace for the rest of the summer.

O
n paydays, I would put kidling in the car and we would drive to the airport to pick up hubby’s pay cheque. On the way back, for a treat, we would stop at the Red Bird store, located on the lower level of what is now called Skeena Landing. We loved that store. There was vintage cutlery and little toys and action figures for 25 cents or a dollar. Kidling would be thrilled to get a dinosaur or Superman, and after a while, the kind owner of the store started stocking items she thought he might like, a robot or an astronaut. It was an easy treat, because I just scooped whatever change was in the car, and that was our budget. One day I happened to have exactly 30 dollars in my wallet when I saw – Cassandra! The set was purchased at an estate sale in Kitimat. A full tableware set with a coffee pot, teapot, cream jug and sugar bowl, large serving bowls with lids, coffee cups and saucers, plates large and small, featuring my favourite blue-green colour, a light but vibrant teal. I looked at the bottom of the gravy boat. “Midwinter Stylecraft Staffordshire ENGLAND Fashion Shape 2 – 60.” Other pieces had numbers like 11 – 57 and 8 – 62 and I realized they were the dates of manufacture. Someone in Kitimat (I picture a woman, a wife and mother) had purchased the whole set, totaling maybe 30 items, over the course of five years. This China was my age. I trembled. “Oh, hmm, this is nice. How much is it?” “I can give it to you for 30 dollars.” Joy! Allow me take a moment to describe

Let’s go to Staffordshire. “The Midwinter ware from the pre-Second World War and immediate post-war periods are of good quality, but are conventional and of relatively little interest to collectors. From the end of the Second World War in 1945 until the advent of Stylecraft in 1953 the Pottery continued with mainly plain whiteware for the UK market until restrictions were lifted in 1952.” Ah ha! Post-war exuberance! Colour, decoration! And the modern shape? “The Fashion shape, released in 1954,
took the Midwinter look to another level. The shape fully embodied the organic modernism of American designers. The pots and bowls had free-flowing, fluid lines. Backstamps often refer to ‘Stylecraft Fashion shape’, as a way of introducing what was a very bold shape to a conservative public.” Oh, so my gal was hip, modern, progressive! This was before Google, but I could search on eBay. I found out my teal colour and decoration had a name. “Stylecraft ‘Cassandra’ pattern in the Fashion shape. It’s an incredibly decorative item both in terms of shape and design and looks fabulous on display – these are highly collectable items and in this pristine mint condition very difficult to come by. We also have matching ‘Cassandra’ cups and saucers for sale separately which will be listed shortly.” When I found out my mint-condition gravy boat was selling for 50 bucks, I stopped looking. After all, I wanted to use it. How did she get these items? Barge? Train? Let’s look at the highway. Here’s a cutline and photo: “Terrace to Kitimat highway No. 25 opening – November 1957. Philip Gaglardi, B.C. Minister of Highways, doing the honors at the Ribbon Cutting.“ That makes sense, since the earliest backstamp date on the set is 1957. And where did she get them? Here we go. “Built in 1954, the Hudson Bay building housed Kitimat’s first department store, post office and cafeteria. The foundation is all that remains today.” She saved up, went to The Bay a few times a year, in order to set a lovely table for her family and friends in the new town of Kitimat. I thank her.

Hockey tourney plan moves ahead THE LOCAL group which wants to host a national aboriginal hockey tournament has sent in its bid. “May 1-6, 2017, if we are successful, we will be hosting a high level national hockey championship. Very exciting,” city councillor Brian Downie told a recent council meeting. Aside from Downie, the host committee composed of mayor Carol Leclerc, Kitsumkalum chief Don Roberts, Kitselas chief Joe Bevan and Cal Albright, the executive director of the Kermode Friendship Society. “It will be a hockey and cultural event. Including an opening ceremony in George Little Park,” said Downie of initial plans. “We want to showcase to those who come north coast aboriginal cultural, and also show them a good time,” he added. Terrace is competing with Campbell River, Penticton and Cowichan to be the B.C. bid winner, Downie said. If successful,, the local bid will be sent to a national selection committee to determine the final destination of the event.

Accused gains access to informants’ notes By MARGARET SPEIRS A DRUG trafficking case has taken a turn in the defendant’s favour after an application to see the police informants’ notes was granted by the judge. Mr. Justice Robert Punnett agreed that the notes used to obtain five search warrants for the residence of David Edwardsen and other locations in 2012 included information given to police by seven confidential informants that the accused had a right to see in order to put forth his defence. “The Crown has failed to provide a basis sufficient to show that the materials in question are clearly irrelevant,” said Mister Justice Punnett in his written judgment. “I conclude the Crown has a duty to review the materials for relevance and to disclose them to the defence except to the extent that they could explicitly or implicitly tend to reveal the identity of informants. “Beginning in August 2011, the RCMP conducted a 14-month investigation into the accused, which culminated in the execution of five search warrants on September 19, 2012,” read the written judgment. “The Crown alleges that the accused is the head of a group involved with trafficking cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana in the area of Terrace,” continued the judgment. “The search of the accused’s primary residence yielded approximately 1.5 kg of cocaine, 3.3 kg of marijuana, 32 g of psilocybin, 24 tabs of ecstasy, 46 firearms and $47,000 in cash. “The searches carried out pursuant to the other four warrants led to the discovery of marijuana grow operations and additional firearms,” continued the judgment. Edwardsen was charged with 17 counts relating to possession and trafficking in controlled substances and various firearms charges, it said. Mr. Justice Punnett’s ruling states “On April 11, 2014 counsel for the accused requested disclosure of material
from the Crown, including source handler notes and source debriefing reports relating to the informants upon whose information the affiant relied in the [information to obtain the search warrants].
“The Crown provided some disclosure but refused to disclose the source handler notes and source debriefing reports on the basis these materials were not relevant and in any event were protected by
informant privilege,” continued the judgment. The Crown argued that “there were other grounds in the [information to obtain] sufficient to justify issuance of the warrants, apart from information pro-
vided by informants... It argues that informant privilege extends over the entirety of materials relating to confidential informants and asserts that the materials cannot be edited so as to protect the identify of
informants...” Edwardsen’s defence lawyer Kenneth Westlake said that not getting access to these materials “violates his (Edwardsen’s) right to make full answer and defence, specifically by
depriving him of a basis upon which to challenge the [information to obtain] and resulting authorizations,” continues the judgment. The next scheduled court date is later this summer.

Proposed Terminal A Extension Project - Environmental Assessment Public comment period: Rio Tinto Alcan is proposing to construct an extension to its existing Terminal A in Kitimat, BC, so that Terminal B, formerly owned by Eurocan, can be used for other industry in the future. Rio Tinto Alcan recently submitted its Application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate to the BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO). The Application Review phase includes a 38-day public comment period from June 15 to July 23 hosted by the EAO to seek comments on the Application. This public comment period will also be used to concurrently invite comments on other permits for the proposed project, including Rio Tinto Alcan’s Application to the Ministry of Environment (MOE) for an Amendment to its existing Waste Discharge Permit: Multi-Media Permit P2-00001.
What is the Application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate? The proposed project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act, which requires proponents to undertake extensive studies to assess potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed project. The Application provides details about these studies, potential effects and proposed mitigations.
Why is Rio Tinto Alcan seeking an Amendment to its Waste Discharge Permit? To build this project, we will need to undertake dredging to prepare the area for construction and ensure the seabed is deep enough to safely accommodate vessels. We are applying for an amendment to our existing Waste Discharge Permit to dispose of dredgeate on our site. Learn more: Community participation and input received to date is much appreciated. If you would like to learn more about these applications and opportunities to provide comments, please visit our website at www.riotintoalcaninbc.com. If you have questions for us, you can email us at TerminalAExtension@riorinto.com or call us at 250 632 4712.
Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Terminal A Extension Project
Open House and Invitation to Comment Rio Tinto Alcan (Proponent) is proposing to construct and operate a replacement infrastructure project including an extension to an existing marine terminal, a barge berth, tug dock and laydown facility. The proposed Terminal A Extension Project (proposed Project) is to be located at the Port of Kitimat and within proximity to the District of Kitimat and the Haisla Nation Kitamaat Village and includes marine dredging and disposal of dredge material. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent has now submitted its application to obtain an environmental assessment certificate, which is required before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. In order to provide information to the public about the Application, and to receive comments from the public, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) invites the public to attend an Open House to be held: Kitimat Valley Institute 1352 Alexander Avenue Kitimat, BC on: June 23, 2015 from: 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at:

There are 38 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the Application. The comment period will begin on June 15, 2015 and end on July 23, 2015. All comments received during this comment period will be considered.
The Proponent has submitted an application for an amendment to the Multi Media Waste Discharge Permit P2-00001 (otherwise known as AMS#100138) for the disposal and storage of dredge material and has requested the permit application be reviewed concurrently under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act, Concurrent Approval Regulation.
The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration, and the effectiveness of proposed mitigations, as part of the assessment process.
This permit application is also available on the EAO’s website at www.eao.gov.bc.ca and at the above locations. Comments on the permit application may also be submitted to the EAO during the comment period as described above.
NOTE:

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION NOTICE Application for a Permit Amendment under the Provisions of the Environmental Management Act We, Rio Tinto Alcan, #1 Smeltersite Rd, PO Box 1800, Kitimat, BC V8C 2H2, intend to submit this amendment application to the Director to amend the P2-00001 Multimedia Waste Discharge Permit, issued December 7, 1999 and last amended August 12, 2014 which authorizes the discharge of air emissions, effluents and refuse from a primary aluminum smelter. The land upon which the facility is comprised of District lots 90, 91, 92, 93, 96, 102A, 186, 7596 and 5469, Ranges 4 and 5, Coast District, Kitimat, British Columbia, located at 1 Smeltersite Road, within the District of Kitimat. The amendment requests that the following conditions be changed: Before: • Section 5.5 Concrete Disposal • B-Lagoon effluent discharge conditions authorized in Section 3.1.2 consisting of a maximum effluent discharge from B-Lagoon of 210,000m3/day, typical discharge of 32,000m3/day and Total Suspended Solids limit of 50 mg/L. • Monthly Reporting of B-Lagoon Maximum Flow in Sections 8.3.2.1 and 8.3.2.2 After: • Section 5.5 Concrete and Dredgeate Disposal. • Disposal of contaminated dredged sediments that exceeds the Industrial Lands standard (IL+, under the Contaminated Sites Regulation) within a dedicated uplands IL+ waste cell to a maximum volume of 161,000 m3. • Disposal of contaminated dredged sediments that are below the Industrial Lands standards (IL) in the uplands Dredge Disposal Site to a maximum volume of 219,000m3 in addition to an indeterminate amount of coarse woody debris from dredging. • Disposal of contaminated soils from the Laydown Area to a maximum volume of 29,000m3.Disposal of contaminated soils from the Laydown Area to a maximum volume of 29,000m3. • Disposal of contaminated soils from the former Concrete Management Area to a maximum volume of 6,500m3. • Disposal of small but indeterminate quantities of asbestos-containing materials located within the existing Concrete Management Area. • B-Lagoon effluent discharge conditions authorized in Section 3.1.2 consisting of: • Indeterminate maximum effluent discharge under extreme precipitation events. • Typical discharge of 64,000 m3/day during dredging operations for 6 months per year over 2 years during the construction phase of the Terminal A Extension project. The average discharge during non-dredging periods will remain at 32,000m3/day. • Total suspended solids limit of 75mg/L during dredging operations for the Terminal A Extension Project. • Monthly reporting (in Sections 8.3.2.1 and 8.3.2.2) of B-Lagoon Flow up to 130,000 m3/ day, greater than which the discharge will be monitored by its level as measured by pressure transducer. • Addition of appurtenant properties to Section 3.4.1 In summary, the purposes of this application are for: (1) inclusion in the permit of the uplands disposal of materials generated by the Terminal A Extension project and (2) reflect in the permit the naturally occurring extreme precipitation events that affect the flow of the effluent treatment system.

THIS AERIAL shot shows the extent of the water intake structure at Forrest Kerr, the largest of three run-of-river projects

Power projects largest commitment by AltaGas a lighter environmental footprint than traditional dam-based hydroelectric projects. While the Forrest Kerr project takes water from the Iskut River, the Volcano Creek project takes water from the creek after which it is named and which is a tributary of the Iskut. As is the case with Volcano Creek, the McLymont Creek project will take water from the creek of that name. AltaGas last October was the recipient of the Project Excellence Award for its Forrest Kerr project, which is the largest of its kind in North America, sponsored by the Clean Energy B.C. Association.

And having a power source such as the AltaGas northwest projects adds a level of supply security, Bennett added. “They’re a great safety net. If you have an outage or something somewhere down the line, we now have a closer power source for projects in the area,” he said. Bennett also pointed to the agreements struck between AltaGas and the Tahltan Central Council for each of the three projects as a boost to the northwestern economy and as a stable revenue source for the Tahltan. “There are financial benefits, there are other benefits. This shows the value of a strong working relationship,” he said. The two economic benefits agreements for McLymont Creek and Volcano Creek alone are to bring in an estimated $560 million in total financial benefits to the Tahltan people over the life of the projects, the Tahltan Central Council has stated. The benefits include revenue sharing, profit sharing, scholarships and, in the case of the Volcano Creek facility, partial ownership by the Tahltan. Bennett also noted that run-of-river projects in which water is diverted through generators before returning to the same river have
Through a four-year construction schedule, the $725 million Forrest Kerr project alone employed hundreds of workers, including members of the Tahltan Nation. Approximately 1 million cubic metres of rock was excavated to create a 3km tunnel through which water flows to turbines. The total expenditure of $1 billion on the three projects represents the largest financial commitment made by AltaGas which was founded in 1994. The three AltaGas projects are not the only ones owned by the company in northwestern B.C.
It bought Pacific Northern Gas, the region’s natural gas utility, in late 2011. Using that purchase as a springboard, AltaGas is now a partner in two potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) developments in the northwest. One, Douglas Channel LNG at Kitimat, would see AltaGas and its partners use up the surplus capacity of the Pacific Northern Gas pipeline to supply a barge-based LNG plant at Kitimat. The other, Triton LNG, would see the construction of another gas pipeline to feed a LNG plant at either Kitimat or Prince Rupert.

At 140 degrees Celsius, this is one hot business THE HEAT rises steadily from the rich black layer of material which extrudes from the back of the Terrace Paving paver. At 140 degrees Celsius the asphalt is soft and workable and the crew uses rakes and shovels to quickly smooth out any bumps and fill any gaps on top. Meanwhile foreman Ray Garneau walks back and forth along a narrow walkway on the back of the paver as it slowly crawls forward. Using what looks like a ski pole, Garneau occasionally reaches out and pushes the device into the just-laid asphalt to ensure it is the right depth. Later, a roller goes over the layer, compacting it into a harder consistency. “I’ve got three boxes here today,” says Garneau in referring the dump trucks which make the round trip from the Terrace Paving asphalt plant in Thornhill to the job site in the back lot of the just-opened Andrew Sheret plumbing and heating business on Keith Ave./Hwy16 in Terrace. Depending upon the size of a truck’s box, 13.5 tons of asphalt is tipped into the holding tank of the paver before its forced out onto the ground. In technical terms the mixture is called either concrete asphalt or asphalt concrete, says Mirko Rutar, the area manager of Terrace Paving. Either way, asphalt is made up of two key ingredients – crushed rock called aggregate and an oil product. The latter acts as a binding agent for the former. Oil companies produce different kinds of product for asphalt but generally speaking, for northern climates, a softer oil product is used. “That’s because of the freeze/thaw cycle,” says Ter-

Terrace Paving uses basically one type of oil product to help keep its costs down, notes Rutar. “We’re about 20 hours away from our source of supply,” he adds. Terrace Paving is a division of a company called YCS Holdings which itself is part of a larger company called Terus Construction Ltd. The YCS office is in Prince George oversees a network of 11 asphalt plants, including the one in Thornhill and a new one in Kitimat. In Kitimat YCS is known as Kentron Construction, its
operation is called Adventure Paving in Prince Rupert and LB Paving in Smithers. Crews can be shifted around the region depending upon project needs, said Rutar. That explains why a major paving job of Hwy16 through Thornhill and into Terrace will be handled by LB Paving. That project will be done at night and, with the Terrace Paving crew busy enough as it is during the daytime, bringing in a Smithers sister company made perfect sense, said Rutar. His list of projects this year includes work at Rio Tinto Alcan’s aluminum smelter reconstruction project in Kitimat, several Terrace municipal projects and paving at one hotel being built in Thornhill and two in Terrace. “We’ve got a lot on our plate. And last year was our biggest year,” said Rutar. His 2014 list included
15,000 tonnes of asphalt at the Rio Tinto smelter project and his 2012 project list included a $400,000 contract to pave the intersection of Hwy 37 South and the City of Terrace’s Skeena Industrial Park. A $1.3 million paving contract was even taken on in 2011 at the new ferry terminal in Klemtu on the mid-coast of the province. For that project, asphalt of a special oil mixture — so that it could be used at a lower temperature than otherwise normal — was loaded onto a barge and then covered with insulated, fireproof tarps. “Doing it that way, it’s good for four or five days,” said Rutar. A small amount was left over and taken back to Kitimat where, even after five days, a portion was used to put a surface on the back lot of the Kentron complex, said Rutar.

Cascades land Nutma TERRACE VOLLEYBALL standout Cole Nutma is in for a big change when he suits up at the University of Fraser Valley next year but he’s been well briefed and is ready for the challenge. Centennial Christian Seahawk Nutma is one of the UFV Cascades men’s volleyball team’s four new recruits after a set up encouraged by his Seahawks’ coaches Joel and Christine Ewald. The two Cascades volleyball alum contacted coach Kyle Donen earlier this year to alert them to Nutma, and when the team travelled to Abbotsford for provincials, Donen was there to watch – even though Nutma didn’t know it. “They said they didn’t tell me because they didn’t want me to be nervous,” said Nutma. Good idea? “Oh yeah,” he said, breaking into a grin. “So glad they did that.” The team would go on to win silver at the 2014 BC Single A championship in a thrilling final against the hometown team, capping off an experience that Nutma said is probably the highlight of his lengthy volleyball experience at Centennial. “The first day we walked into the gym, saw guys hitting the ball around, the whole team was nervous,” he said. “But we had some huge turning points. We were down to Mount Sentinel in the fifth set 14-9 and we came back and won that set 1614. That was a huge turning point. We beat Credo Christian in the semis, which was unexpected ... The finals, even though we lost we fought a battle – that was for sure a highlight playing in front of that big crown, against the hometeam – we were for sure underdogs, so no matter what happened we felt pretty happy to be there.” That silver was the second provincial medal in the Centennial program’s history, with the team earning the first in 2013.

AFTER A successful high school volleyball career, it’s time for Centennial Christian School’s Cole Nutma to clean out his locker and head south.
Bath set for Durham TERRACE’S PREET Bath is set to join the last year’s OCAA women’s volleyball championship’s silver medalists, the Durham College Lords, as an outside hitter. She’s committed to the team – and to studying environmental technology at the Oshawa college. "We are excited that Preet decided to play college volleyball here at Durham," said head coach Tony Clarke. "Having played in B.C., which is known for their high level of competitive volleyball, she will be a perfect fit both on and off the court for the Lords. Preet's versatility and knowledge of the sport will be a major asset to our team, as well as her work ethic both athletically and academically. She chose Durham because of her program and will excel both in the classroom and on the court." Bath joins the Lords after playing with the Northwest Volleyball Club and Caledonia Senior Secondary School senior girls volleyball team. While with Northwest she was team captain during the 2013 and 2014 seasons. This year the club finished fourth at the U-18 girls volleyball nationals (Division 2 - Tier 1). In her time with Caledonia (2013-15) she was captain in 2014 and 2015. She

Preet Bath led her team to AAA provincials in 2014, where they finished fifth. Prior to playing for both teams she also was team captain for Zone 7 at the B.C. Summer Games in 2012. Bath is one of five of her teammates who have been plucked by post-secondary institutions.

Northmen open season with win THE TERRACE Northmen opened the regular rugby season with a win at home against the Williams Lake Rustlers May 23 – the first time they’d beat the Rustlers in years. “The guys were really happy about that,” said Northman Adam Linteris of the 27-19 win. “It was a real grind so it was nice to come out with that W for sure.” The game, as expected, was “very, very physical,” he said, with Williams Lake bringing a solid squad – although without some of their key guys because of work committments – and the Northmen with a strong bench. “There was a lot of midfield play and midfield stands, goalline stands, things like that,” said Linteris. “There were few big breaks in the game – luckily for us the big breaks seemed to come on our end.” Brady Champoux clocked two tries before rookie Adam Sarich grabbed a try. Then Walker Main kicked two dropkick goals to give the Northmen a pretty substantial lead towards the end.
But the Rustlers didn’t let up, closing the gap as the Northmen tired out. “A real physical game,” said Linteris. “Williams Lake is always really strong. They didn’t bring a series of their top guys, they were out working and doing that, but they still brought a really strong team. Basically anytime you play those guys you have to be prepared for a really hard game.” Williams Lake picked two man of the matches for the game – a forward and a back – with Ryan Watson named the forward and Werner Pienaar named the back. Linteris said that the win was a real team effort where everyone saw a substantial amount of field time. “Every single person on the team got a lot of playing time in – years past in tight games we’ve run our starting line maybe a little too long and not played some of our rookies and things like that,” he said. “Our rookies really stood out – they didn’t look like rookies out there – they played really well,” he said.

Northmen open with win against Williams Lake “The team as a whole played really well. It was nice to see that it was a full team victory and not just a starting line up victory,” he continued.

they have a bit of a break before travelling to Williams Lake at the end of the month. The next chance to catch the Northmen at home will be July 11 when the team hosts Prince George. Linteris said the team is always working on getting more people out to watch the games. “We’re not a hockey team,
’m on my way to the upper reaches of the Lakelse River for the third time in two weeks. For the third time there are no other vehicles in the parking lot save for Rob Dams’s pick up. Stirred up by a moose sighting on the Beam Station Road, Oona is eager to get out of the cab and start sniffing around. It’s a good 10 minutes before I’m geared up and on my way down the trail past the series of blue and white signs depicting the stages in the life cycle of a salmonid. As I near the fork in the trail the chatter of excited children and the chatter of the Creek combine and get louder until they fill the glade. Rob’s assistant Andrea is wrapping up a session of aquatic invertebrate identification with one group of kids. That’s a caddis, she tells a wide eyed little scamp holding up Tricopteran that’s thankfully ensconced in stone armour of its own making. Where’s Robbie? I ask her, whereupon she directs me to the trail that leads to the next pool downstream where Rob is eliciting the importance of stream side vegetation from another school of school kids. So can you imagine what will happen if someone comes here with an ATV? Rob asks. The group looks puzzled. One boy says something about a switch. Rob tosses out a hint. Big tires…he says. Oh, his pupils for a day chant out in unison, a quad!
we’re never going to have a following like that,” he said. But the team wants to get people out there “not only to have people come out and watch but the more people who know about the team the more chances we have at recruiting players – because there’s a ton of good athletes in this town.”
Nutma, who started playing volleyball in Grade 5, was a key player on Centennial’s small – but successful – team over the years, earning the title of Northwest zone all-star and provincial second-team all-star in 2013, and upgrading to Northwest MVP and provincial first-team honours last season. After this season’s tournament, Donen emailed Nutma to say he was interested in recruiting him, and close to 100 emails later, Nutma is committed to the team and will be pursuing a bachelor of science as a student at UFV next year. “I have a had a chance to get to know Cole really well over the course of our many emails,” said Donen. “Later on he made a visit to Abbotsford and I think UFV became just the perfect fit for him. Coming from a much smaller town it’s a tough decision to leave home but I believe Cole will thrive in our team environment both on and off the floor. He is an extremely hard worker and is driven to succeed at the next level. The versatility that Cole will bring to our team as an all-around solid player should add another level to the competitiveness of our team.” That versatility he’s talking about is the fact that Nutma plays left side, right side, and middle. “I started Grade 9 as libero because I was short, hit my growth spurt in Grade 10 then played left side, and then halfway through the season in Grade 10 our middle hurt

his ankle, so I played middle. From there I just stayed... coaches loved me playing middle, I love playing middle.” He says he’s not sure which one he’ll end up playing at UFV, noting that compared to guys at university, at 6’2”, he’s also short, and that will come into play. But he knows his experience in a small community with a close team that truly values sportsmanship will be a great asset. “The commitment to the team. We are way tighter than any team I’ve been on,” he said. “It was great. I’ll for sure miss playing at Centennial... and the small community. I’ve grown up in Terrace my whole life, so you walk down the street and there’s so-and-so, there’s soand-so... In Abbotsford it’s not going to be like that.” UFV is “not a huge school but big enough – going from such a small Christian community with only 130 kids (and only five in his graduating class) to a college like that is a good transition. That’s what Joel says,” he said. “It was great, I like it.” But he said he’s been given advice from his coaches and will be training with Christine, who is a personal trainer, this summer to get in even better shape. And as for advice for his younger teammates: “Keep your head up, push yourself in practise, it pays on the court. Be sportsmanlike players, ambassadors of God, just give it your all.”
pause and change the subject. How’s fishing? he asks. Excellent, I tell him, and I’ve pretty much got it to myself. Every year since we’ve been doing this, the parking lot is always full. This year it’s been empty. I think it must be the regulation change. I tell Rob to take it easy until he’s completely mended then cross the creek and stride down the trail to the river. It hadn’t occurred to me that the decrease in angling pressure on the upper Lakelse River may be due to the Canadian resident only restriction that Jim Culp and I proposed during the Quality Waters Process. We hadn’t expected the smooth passage the recommendation received, but the guiding industry reps, who have always been irked that the river was off limits to guides but open to non-resident alien anglers, approved as did our fellow resident angler reps, who were pleased to have one river free of guides and non-residents. This season the non-resident fishers who target ripe steelhead, and whose numbers were growing with each season, are gone. The foreigners who were dropped off by the same vehicles season after season and therefore illegally guided, are gone too. There are a few anglers in the afternoons and evenings, and a few more on the weekend. Crowding doesn’t happen and the quality of the angling has improved, which was the goal of the Quality Waters Process.

Training to be ramped up ABORIGINAL PEOPLE won’t be lacking trades training for LNG and other industries as another program is in the works that could provide them onsite Red Seal certification in craft construction. The Red Seal Construction Craft Worker Program is in the planning stage by the provincial Industry Training Authority (ITA) which is looking for money to start pilot courses this fall. Training workers for a potential liquefied natural gas industry is the main thrust of the program with the labour required cited as the main reason why the program is needed.

The director for aboriginal initiatives for ITA Gary McDermott says his program will stand out from others by offering training near First Nations villages where industrial projects would be located. He said partnerships with local schools like Northwest Community College is a possibility, however private training companies are also being considered. By July he hopes to have secured a training provider and do a pilot program in the fall with

32 students divided at different locations, with a maximum of 16 per section. “It will allow them to access apprenticeship and employment opportunities,” said McDermott, adding that he aims to reduce unemployment in First Nations communities. He says the craft certification will be based on field training. “So the difference is, is that if you go to college and take a foundation program, you start at the college, you finish at the college, and then you go find a job. This program you start the program, when you end the program you are in an employment placement. You don’t have to go look for a job. It’s included.”

From front
Reconciliation report called comprehensive After seeing many of her generation die from alcoholism and poverty, Gray is skeptical that the recommendations and report can really change anything, though she said the public statements did have a positive influence. “It was useful for them to tell their story,” she said of her family and friends. “I went with a couple of them... they told their truth, but what good is it if you don’t do anything with that?” “They haven’t been helped socially, they haven’t progressed,” said Gray who is preparing to enter a master’s program at Trinity Western university. Specific to Terrace and other communities where housing costs are high, Gray had been hoping the commission report would push harder for more affordable housing policies. She said having stable accommodation is a crucial first step if people are to wean their way off alcohol and drugs. Calvin Albright, the friendship society’s chief executive officer, says the Truth and Reconciliation Commission might make some people think that First Nations people aren’t moving forward, which isn’t the case. “It’s good on a goforward basis,” he said of the report. “We don’t have to wait for big policy statements. We are taking control already. We are already doing a considerable amount of work in our communities, we are not waiting for government to give us money; we are just doing it ourselves. “Generally I think it’s a very comprehensive report that reminds me of the [1996] Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. Lots of anticipation but it seemed like nothing ever came of it. What I think is interesting is there is already lots of organizing and lots of work being done that the general public isn’t aware of. “We are all impacted by it, but we have been able to maintain who we are and contribute towards working towards
being self sustaining as individuals and communities,” said Albright of the residential school legacy. “There are a lot of people who believe we can overcome [social problems] in all sorts of ways. Just go to the
Inspire website, for instance, you will see thousands of aboriginal people getting bursaries to go on to post secondary education.” Speaking after the initial report was released, Skeena-Bulkley MP Nathan Cullen said
that “we want to move forward with this report, we want to move forward with First Nations communities. Immediately looking at the funding gap for education is incredibly important, as is securing better quality housing.”

Report wants action AMONG THE 94 recommendations is the call for one or more public memorials to help ensure that the brutal assimilation of one culture by another does not happen again in Canada. Others aim at everything from boosting childcare on reserves to criminal code amendments. For example, it calls for the amendment of section 43 of the criminal code which permits spanking and other forms of minor physical abuse by legal caregivers. It also calls on the Catholic
Church, which ran many of the schools through which the residential school program was overseen by government, to issue various statements of apology and support for native rights. One is a public apology by the Pope. Other recommendations called for increased funding for on-reserve education and an inquiry into missing and murdered women. Another tells government to “repudiate concepts used to justify European sovereign over Indigenous land and peoples.”
