Warm blob hurts fisheries hope

Each family gets a couple of fish.

It’s considered by many to be the tastiest salmon, but unfortunately the typically plentiful sockeye has had another rough year and an alert for the possible complete closure of this year’s fishery was issued late last week. The Skeena Fisheries Commission said in a release that the sockeye return is on pace for fewer than one million fish, when over three million were expected. Low returns could force the complete shutdown of the fisheries similar to the unprecedented stoppage in the summer of 2013, the commission warns. According to head biologist at the Gitanyow Fisheries Mark Cleveland, the low count is due to poor ocean survival rates. “The ocean is kind of a big black box where we don’t understand the dynamics of how fish get affected,” he said. “I don’t know if you have heard of that warm blob that’s been in the upper hemisphere off the coast of B.C. and Alaska, but it’s quite likely that climate change and an extreme El Nino year may have affected their survival.” Fisheries experts have also noted that sockeye in both the Nass and the Skeena are on the small side this year. “It looks like most of the 5’s are failing,” said Cleveland of the Skeena run. “In other words, we were expecting two thirds of the run of Skeena sockeye to be five year olds, but they are showing up in really poor numbers so the run is made up mainly of four-year-olds.” As of last week only one restriction had been put in

place and that was to limit the daily catch of sockeye for recreational anglers from two to one fish, but Cleveland said the ban could be expanded this week with even fisheries section 35, the First Nations food fishery, threatened. “It’s not likely to be so poor that we would have to shut down section 35 fisheries, but it is a possibility,” he said. “So we wanted to put people on notice.” He added that the First Nations fisheries would be the last ones to be completely closed and said that 2013 was the first time the Department of Fisheries and Oceans had to shut down the

First Nations sockeye fisheries. Cleveland still had hope that the dismal sockeye return so far is just a bad start and that this week the numbers will have surged, but he wasn’t betting on it. “It’s been late in some of the Alaskan approach waters, so people are just really hoping that the run is still two weeks late, and that’s why it’s looking so small,” he said. Overall salmon numbers in the Nass started well this month. As is the case in the Skeena, warming water temperatures are a concern for all salmon species.

WorkSafe report details fatality By MARGARET SPEIRS FAILURE TO use fall protection equipment, a lack of supervision and risk assessment are factors in the death of a contract worker on the Northwest Transmission Line north of Terrace last year, according to a WorkSafe BC Incident Investigation Report. While the cause of death was the worker not securing a safety lanyard that would have prevented a fall, consistent supervision “should have ensured that workers tied off.” The two companies involved in the project, Valard and McGregor Construction 2000 Ltd., also knew that the crane operator didn’t have the required certification in B.C., said the report. Michael Todd Thornewell, 45, died of massive head trauma after falling 22m (75 ft) from a work platform, about 50 km north of Terrace on March 15, 2014, said the coroner’s report released earlier this year. Thornewell, who had been working for McGregor under contract to Valard which built the transmission line, was a power line technician working on a new transmission tower that day, said the coroner’s report. The WorkSafe BC report states its purpose “is to identify and communicate the findings of this incident investigation to support future preventive actions by industry and WorkSafe BC” and “Any regulatory compliance activities arising from this incident will be documented separately.” The day of the accident, 12 workers on three crews were at the site.

Sockeye struggle in warm waters “We are concerned about water levels this year in the Nass tribs, especially with a good return of Nass Chinook, and hope that the fish will be able to reach the spawning grounds and survive the high water temps,” said Nisga’a Lisims communications manager Edward Allen of that river above the Skeena. Warmer ocean temperatures have also led to the problem of algae blooms which have affected the fisheries on the coast. “It has caused toxic algae blooms on the coast, brought warm water predators farther north, and warmed the marine waters more than 3 degrees warmer than normal,” said Allen. “As a result of the warming, we experienced an early freshet on

the Nass River this year that saw our salmon smolts go out into the marine waters about 2 weeks early.” The conditions brought on by El Nino are at least partly responsible for temperatures, he continued. “Globally, the 2015 water temperatures are the warmest ever experienced when reviewing since 1891,” said Allen. The closure of fisheries section 35 would only be done in the Skeena after consultation with the First Nations, says the Skeena Fisheries Commission release. Currently the monitoring body anticipates 855,000 sockeye in the Skeena run, and it would take numbers below 550,000 for a closure of the First Nations fishery.

Ryan went along to the Too Toxic to Trash event in Terrace, and said there he filled 18 tub skids of paint, two drums of aerosols and some pest control products. This seemed to indicate that not everyone was aware of the depot he operates, he said.

THE TOO Toxic to Trash event held this spring for collecting hazardous domestic material proved that residents have a lot of toxic material collecting in their home. Other than collection days like that event, the only option for toxic drop-off for residential material lies in Thornhill where Lakelse Holdings operates a Product Care at their 3098 Kofoed Drive location, a depot for a wide range of toxic household products. Product Care started in B.C. in the 1990s and has expanded across Canada and the U.S., paid for by membership manufacturers who are required by environmental regulation to oversee the proper stewardship of their toxic products. The company is now called ReGeneration and “is funded by its membership, a group of more than 500 producers of products that are regulated under the EPR [Extended Producer Responsibility] model.” The Terrace depot is attached to the Lakelse Holdings machine shop co-owned by Ryan Frank, and as a small part of his business he has operated the Product Care depot for six years as a small side business. A list of what Frank takes in is available on the Product Care website, but he says that people not checking in

with him before dropping off is causing a consistent problem of improper products ending up on the site. The depot takes household paints, bug repellant and pesticides as long as they have a pest control number on them, for example, and everything must be labeled and not leaking. “If you are unsure, just bring what you’ve got, but you can’t just drop it off,” says Frank. “You have to come inside and let someone know you are there.” Compounding the problem is that these wrong products then get sent in the totes if he doesn’t catch them and he is charged and deducted for those items. “It’s tough, because then it’s me who has to hold onto items waiting for another collection event,” he says of mate-

Online Slowdown

A look at the high-speed internet woes in outlying areas and possible remedies By CECILE FAVRON AT THIS point in our history, not having high speed internet can feel like living in the dark ages. Just ask people in Rosswood. The small community 37 km north of Terrace relies on a sluggish satellite connection to provide it with the internet service that is available at much faster speeds to almost all of the 99 percent of Canadians who have the internet, according to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Rosswood residents – like people in Gossen, Kleanza, and Usk – are part of four percent of the population that do not have access to high speed internet and they recently appealed to local companies and politicians to change that. This is a familiar struggle for most of Terrace’s outlying areas which have had problems getting connected to the online world because, for service providers such as Telus and CityWest, the cost to extend their lines to more remote areas is too high. However, New Remo just west of Terrace did get CityWest service recently and was able to leave the expensive and unreliable satellite internet behind. This prompted John Rinaldi of the Rosswood Community Association to circulate a petition that he sent to CityWest earlier this month asking for the company to bring high speed internet to Rosswood. “I took a poll and sent it to CityWest to ask them to come out here,” Rinaldi explained of the 51 signatures he collected from the community. He says that at least 30 more people “have gone online” since then and would most likely be willing to add their names to the list which went to CityWest salesman Donovan Dias and MP Nathan Cullen. “You know, the government said that all communities would have high speed internet, but they didn’t say how good of high speed internet,” he criticized. Contrary to what is advertised by satellite internet companies, the federal government and the CRTC consider internet over five megabits per second download speed (Mbps) to be high speed internet and satellite providers in the northwest region currently do not meet that threshold. Rinaldi explained that he regularly experiences slowdowns with his satellite internet and that often impedes his ability to do simple tasks online. “The speed you get really varies depending on the time of day,” Rinaldi said, figuring that this is a result of how many customers are using the internet at certain times. “And because it is a satellite, the weather slows it down to a crawl,” he remarked. Upon closer inspection, it is clear that even when satellite internet is performing at its best, it is hardly comparable to other internet providers. Rinaldi’s internet provider Galaxy charges $149.99 per month for download speeds that reach up to three megabits per second (Mbps) with a daily maximum download capacity of 600 megabytes (MB). To put this in perspective, the CRTC says that the average YouTube 1080p video takes 3.9 Mbps download capacity to stream, nearly one megabit faster than the speeds currently available to Terrace’s outlying areas. Compare this to the regional internet provider CityWest whose smallest plan gets users up to 10Mbps for $49.95, and the speeds only increase from there.

CECILE FAVRON PHOTOS

RIGHT, JOHN Rinaldi, a Rosswood resident, points out his Galaxy satellite that provides internet to his home. Below, Don Kirkby goes online using Telus Hub to check for any new reservations for his RV Park in Usk.

Rinaldi says that the satellite internet really isn’t great, but it is the only option for people who have built their life in the area surrounding Terrace. Outlying areas that are rural or remote often don’t enjoy the same services that municipalities do, so advocating for their rights to basic services isn’t something new to Rosswood residents, said Rinaldi. In 1999 the community of 150 people received electricity from BC Hydro with the help of the then-MP Mike Scott. They didn’t receive landline telephone service until 2001. Rinaldi hopes that a similar momentum could help bring internet to Rosswood. In 2011, the CRTC determined that all Canadians would have access to high speed internet by the end of 2015. With that date nearing, the 5Mbps standard for internet is something that no satellite internet company in this area meets, but cable internet companies surpassed long ago. Because many Canadians are still not connected to this basic standard of internet, the CRTC has undertaken a year-long review of basic internet services in Canada through which it plans to determine if internet is a necessity, what speeds are necessary to participate fully in the digital economy, and what the government can do to ensure that these needs are met. The CRTC just wrapped up the call for comments on July 24 and has scheduled a public hearing on the issue which will take place in Quebec next April. There are two satellite internet companies that provide service to the outlying areas around Terrace: Galaxy Broadband and Xplornet. And although both companies are able to provide high speed to other areas of Canada, that option is not available in the Terrace area. “Xplornet says they have [high speed], but I think they forgot to mention that it is really only [high speed] if you are east of Smithers,” Rinaldi said. His concerns were echoed by the company which says that the northwest has a particular challenge getting satellite internet. “Unfortunately, Terrace is covered by the Legacy satellite where you can only get up to a three megabite per second download speed,” said Bill Macdonald, senior vice president of Xplornet. Xplornet says that it is “in the process of

upgrading the Legacy satellite so customers can get up to 5Mbps” and it could possibly finish the five- to seven-year project as soon as this September. But anyone hoping to get on Xplornet’s faster network would be out of luck because the company has maxed out its space on the Legacy satellite with existing customers. The error greatly affected Xplornet’s service in past years with the internet often becoming unusable for many customers when the system gets overloaded. “The challenge is that we get people on the network, but the way people are using that network changes,” said Macdonald, explaining that the number of customers on the network only started to overload the system once users started trying to do more things online. Galaxy’s vice-president of sales Doug Harvey said they “use a much lower contention rate – other satellite companies are trying to put way more people on the bandwidth than we do, so we have more consistency and faster speeds.” But Galaxy only offers up to 3Mbps and is not in a position to upgrade to a faster system in the near future. “Xplornet has a higher power satellite, we are just considering our options right now,” said Harvey. Galaxy was the recipient of a federal grant for $987,000 to provide internet to other areas of northwestern B.C. after Xp-

lornet was no longer able to take customers, but that internet is still not high speed. The slow process of helping remote or rural areas catch up with the bigger centres in Canada can be trying, and the Nisga’a communities, another 50 km past Rosswood, put in their own fibre optic lines in 2000 so that they could get high speed internet services at a time when remote communities were just starting to get dial-up. Telus is the company that currently runs telephone lines out to Rosswood, but they say those lines would need significant engineering in order to connect customers to internet as well. “We currently have no concrete plans to build a wireless internet site in Rosswood [and] the fibre [optic lines meant for internet] we have in the area connects back to our central network – it doesn’t run near homes in the area and would require a significant amount of planning [and] capital to extend it,” said Liz Sauve of Telus. CityWest provides service up Hwy113 to Freeman Road, but nothing beyond that, meaning there are also residents on Terrace’s outskirts who rely on satellite internet. “We have applied for grants to the federal government’s Connecting Canadians Program to help provide some funding so that we can service areas such as Gossen, Kleanza, and Usk, but have not received any response at this time,” said Donovan Dias of CityWest. Still, CityWest is interested in Rosswood’s petition. “It’s phenomenal that there is a demand for our services out there. So now we have to go to the drawing board to see what it would cost,” said Dias, explaining that it is likely the company would need to figure out a way to subsidize the cost to make it a profitable decision. “Then we will present it back to the folks in Rosswood to help with the project costs [or] we could potentially look at grants [from the government],” explained Dias. The most likely program that would benefit the area would be the Connecting Canadians program, a $305 million project “that came 40 percent under budget and will now go into a second round of proposals,” according to Jake Enwright, Minister James Moore’s press secretary. A date for applications to the second round of the program has not been set yet, so it is clear that people in Terrace’s surrounding areas might be waiting for high speed internet a while longer.

Bad for business DON KIRKBY is owner of the Skeena RV Park in Usk – a short 15 minute drive on Hwy 16 east of Terrace – and he says that customers are demanding internet service that he can’t provide. “Everybody wants it, people like to camp, but they don’t like to camp without their laptop,” Kirkby explained. “Some people are here for long periods, internet is fairly important, especially for these people that work.” Because of popular demand, Kirkby installed Telus Hub last month, a WiFi system that picks up internet service through the cellular network. But, he says that it is often very slow, frequently cuts out, and is quite expensive.

“I pay almost $90 for the first 10 gigabytes [of data] and then $50 per gigabyte after that. The park used up 13 gigabytes in two weeks,” he said. So where is getting high speed internet on Kirkby’s priorities? “If you want to attract customers, it’s pretty high,” he said, citing that most customers even book their stay online. “I think the government should regulate that Telus and other carriers have to supply outlying areas, not just where the money is,” he explained of his frustration that the small community goes without the basic service. “Do I think that internet suppliers should do a better job of serving the outlying areas? I do.”

EDITORIAL

In the know Transparency within democratic institutions such as city council is tricky business. The public is not privy to every discussion city council has. Some decisions are made ‘in-camera’ if there is risk of botching a land sale or bumbling sensitive staffing issues (see closing TEDA). But for some reason the current council has also decided to keep quiet about their standard duties. At the end of each regular meeting there is a section called New Business. Typically, most councillors highlight items from meetings with community groups to which they are appointed and other matters of public interest related to recent activities. But as a time-saving measure, councillors now only recount items deemed of particular importance, and many meetings have no news. This new rule does shave minutes off meetings that can extend late into a Monday night, but councillors did get a nice raise last year to represent residents and community groups. If anything, time could be shaved off city staff presentations where material already written on the agenda is sometimes repeated and council is briefed on policy they should already know. If the public is to have faith in those they elected then they need to hear what the leaders are up to and to rest assured they aren’t drinking Kool-Aid at Lakelse beaches all day.

Thrift stores have what you need at right price

hrift stores are my shopping centres of choice whenever I need something practical and a used one in good condition will do. I can afford to buy anything they offer. Still, I go in with a shopping list in my head if not in my hand. The variety of stock these thrift stores offer rivals Walmart. You can find every sort of garment from socks to trousers to shirts, tops and jackets of all styles and sizes; shoes, handbags, scarves. Quilts, blankets, towels, face cloths and pot holders. Baby supplies from diapers to bottles. In the household sections they have coffee mugs galore, stem glassware, plates, platters, pots, pans, stray glass or metal pot lids, a full range of cutlery, and small electrical kitchen appliances. (How well or how long these appliances might function no one knows, but they appear promising.) Books and board games abound. Boxes overflow with music CDs and picture frames. Crotchet hooks and knitting needles, with cotton and wool to go along. Several boxes hold fabric

THROUGH BIFOCALS

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI remnants suitable for sewing quilts or aprons. On Friday I had time to browse two thrift shops looking for winter weight sweatshirts with fuzzy linings to replace the ones I have which are threadbare after multiple washings. Experience has taught me the best sweatshirts are often given as birthday gifts to teens. A new sweatshirt can cost $40 or more, too pricey for choring around home. I wouldn’t wear it; I’d hold it for special occasions. I wanted a fleecy frontzippered garment worn only sufficiently to indicate it was

comfortable – no zipper jabbing under the chin, for instance – long sleeves, preferably without a pub logo on the front or back, or a hood. A garment that appears little worn can signal it’s uncomfortable in some way. One regrettable selection 40 years ago lingers in my mind. Synthetic fabrics were new to the market. The blouse was knock-your-eyeout yellow, crisp as the day a Mom sewed it, and for good reason. It scratched like a Brillo pad. My memory of that choice failed me Friday and I brought home a pull-on Hanes sweatshirt, new as the day it was unpacked in a store. I soon found out why. I doubt even a newborn’s head would slip easily through the ribbed collar. I’ve considered cutting off the collar to a crew neckline and adding a full length front zipper rather than return it to the thrift shop. But this is no boat top in need of modification. That I could accomplish easily with a guarantee of success. This is a sweater. My track record for altering gar-

ments invariably ends in a garbage can. Four sweatshirts cost me $15. One has a hood which I plan to remove and use to sew a patch over an appliqued lapel football logo and another on the back. Then I’m set for winter. Snug in one of these lets me lower my thermostat a degree or two. My purchases are intended to be worn around home. In the distant past, however, I’ve ventured out attired in thrift store blouses. A favourite was pale yellow with long sleeves. I wore it once before I noticed the Hospital Auxiliary thrift stores’s telltale price tag staple still in the collar. I’m wearing that blouse in a studio photo with our teenage daughters. If I were a high school grad striking out on my own, and a serious recycler, I’d outfit my home from kitchen ware to bedding with good used thrift store items. Later I could move to another province or job without shipping everyday stuff easily replaced at nominal cost by shopping at another thrift store.

The Mail Bag What the heck?

Dear Sir: I was really upset and confused by this article upon seeing that properties owned by the mayor and council having gone up in value as much as they did were able to have the amount of their taxes go down. Yes I understand that they are going by the percentage of increase of value from last year but it still does not make sense that people that have homes valued at half as much are taxed more. What is wrong with this picture!!!!! City hall should be going by the value of the homes. I am sure that I am not the only one with this concern. Marie Stevens Terrace, B.C.

Time for some positive bias

Cancer patients need the best, but what is best?

he newest report from Canada’s brand name drug makers on access to new drugs has one key message: compared to other countries, Canada goes slow and low. New drugs are slower to be covered by our provincial drug plans and the numbers of people who get access to new drugs are lower than in other countries. The report is undeniably negative: Canadians are suffering because our governments don’t provide timely access to new medicines. Produced by Rx&D (the association of Canada’s brand name drug manufacturers), the report ranks Canada 17th out of 18 industrialized nations in terms of new drug reimbursement - with only 23 per cent of new medicines covered across the country (it is closer to 90 per cent in the U.S.). As far as the time it takes between when a drug gets approved by Health Canada and when the provinces start paying for it, Canada ranks 16th of 18 countries. Canada’s drug makers believe

that drug plans in Canada should be more generous and access should be simplified so when new and innovative medications come along - those to conquer cancer, heart disease or other life-threatening conditions - government health plans should quickly pay for them. After all, if they extend the length and quality of our lives, we citizens deserve them, right? But here’s the rub: what prescribers know about the potential benefits and harms of a new drug when they arrive on the market is often uncertain or problematic. As new drugs are often studied for a shorter period of time and with a very specific population, the studies often end up with biases, with unpublished data and without a full sense of the overall safety of the drug in the real population. Canada’s approach of taking the time to decide how, or if, a new drug needs to be covered is the smart way to go. For example, the widely prescribed arthritis drug Vioxx caused as many as 60,000 excess heart attack deaths in North America according to

GUEST COMMENT

Alan Cassels some estimates. But those Canadian provinces which were more restrictive in covering it (such as B.C.) likely had proportionally fewer deaths caused by the drug. According to a new report, the number of new cases of cancer in Canada will rise dramatically over the next 15 years, mostly due to baby boomers acquiring more diseases of aging - and this will drive the demand for more and more effective cancer drugs.

But there is plenty of evidence to suggest caution in approaching this new reality. A recent article in the British Medical Journal by two noteworthy pharmaceutical industry analysts, Donald Light and fellow Expert Advisor Joel Lexchin, made the case that cancer drugs are often rushed to market and have faster approvals even when they provide very little gain for patients. Their study, Why do cancer drugs get such an easy ride?, examined nearly 9,000 oncology clinical trials conducted between 2007 and 2010 and compared those studies to drugs for other diseases. They found that cancer drugs were almost three times less likely to be evaluated in randomized studies or tested against comparator drugs, and were more likely to be ‘fast-tracked’ in approvals than other drugs, casting doubt on the long-term benefit and safety of the drugs. There’s also a little bit of sleight of hand around what’s being measured. Does it matter if a clinical trial of a new cancer drug

gets approved because it shrinks a tumour as opposed to making the patient live longer or healthier? The reality is that many cancer drugs can shrink tumours quite effectively (and expensively) but may not change the length of a person’s life, while possibly turning the last few months of a person’s life into medically-intensive misery. We all want access to newer and better drugs but could we better spend our cancer budgets towards an array of non-drug options that improve the lives of people with cancer? Do we want to continue to allow expensive drug intensive therapy to eclipse all the other things we could do for cancer patients and their families? Wildly expensive new cancer drugs are eating a growing share of our healthcare dollars and provinces are clearly voting with their budgets.

Governments to sign off on treaty agreements ANOTHER STEP towards a treaty between Kitsumkalum, Kitselas and the government takes place early next week. The Government of Canada and the BC provincial government will formally sign off on the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum Treaty Agreements-in-Principle (AIPs) August 4, as announced late on July 24 by the Tsimshian First Nations Treaty Society in a release. Ministers from the federal and provincial governments are expected to participate in the signing ceremonies being organized in the communities of Gitaus (Kitselas) and Kitsumkalum to commemorate this important milestone in the treaty pro-

cess, said the release. Both Kitselas and Kitsumkalum approved their AIP by membership voting in early 2013 and have been waiting for the governments to sign off, continued the release. The formal signing of the AIPs will commit all parties to address outstanding issues from Agreement-in-Principle negotiations, it continued. This will officially move both Kitselas and Kitsumkalum into Stage Five of the BC Treaty Commission process, which has six stages. â€œWe have long anticipated this day since our community voted â€œyesâ€? to the AIP. We have patiently waited for over two years and will now celebrate the approval

signing by the provincial and federal governments. This is a success to our people, our community and the future of all Kitsumkalum generations,â€? said Alex Bolton, Chief Negotiator for the Kitsumkalum Treaty Office. â€œMoving on to Stage Five is a major step towards settling the outstanding land-claim our grandparents asked us to finish for them. It will be up to the children and grandchildren to rebuild our community. A Treaty will give them the authority and the tools to do so,â€? said Mel Bevan, Chief Negotiator for Kitselas. An agreement-inprinciple is not legally binding, but it is the critical framework to a concluded final agree-

ment or treaty. When the communities of Kitselas and Kitsumkalum voted â€œyesâ€? to the AIP, it mandated the negotiators to move forward with final agreement negotiations, said the release. While the formality of signing has taken longer than anticipated, the parties have continued negotiation requirements on many different issues over the past two years. This included the establishment of a process to address fish and marine matters, which is especially significant as it had been off the table for a number of years. Both communities ratified their AIPs without a fish chapter. Kitselas and Kit-

A TERRACE man died in a tree falling accident while working near Kitimat earlier this month. Dustin Edwardsen was working as a faller at a job site at Miskatla Inlet, near Jasee Falls, south of Kitimat. WorkSafe BCâ€™s inspection report said at about 8:52 a.m. July 11, â€œa certified manual tree faller was in the process of falling a 30 inch diameter x 114 ft. tall cedar tree when one of two nearby hemlock smaller diameter trees became uprooted, striking and pinning the worker. â€œThe worker was discovered by his falling partner and treated by first aid at the site. The worker was transported by helicopter to the Terrace Regional Airport and transferred to BC Ambulance, where he later succumbed to his injuries.â€? WorkSafe BC went on to say it is investigating and may issue orders or further enforcement against the company, which it didnâ€™t name, however, the address came back as Aggressive Timber Falling headquartered in Nanaimo, B.C. BC Forest Safety Council said WorkSafe BC and the BC Coroners Service were investigating. The council also said this accident â€œis the third direct harvesting fatality of 2015â€? defining direct harvesting

fatalities as â€œincidents where a worker in the

logging, log transportation or silviculture

industries is fatally injured at work.â€?

Co-Op work underway this summer By JOSH MASSEY ANOTHER HOTEL may sound like a bit of a long-shot at this point considering there are already three other hotels underway, but the city is forging ahead with its plan to deal with a partially polluted section of land for a Calgary developer that declared its intention to purchase back in 2013. And if liquefied natural gas plants ever get built, there certainly will be a huge influx of people coming through, so maybe four, five, or six new hotels will be entirely necessary. Hired by the city, the engineering company Golder & Associates has been doing work on the site this month, examining core samples brought up from where petrochemical contamination that could still exist leaked from the gas station that used to be there as part of the Federated Co-Op that shut down in the late 90’s. The city’s wants to prove to the province that any contamination is

outside the area that the hotel company is purchasing – that way the city can subdivide it and receive the needed environmental certificate of compliance from the province. The previous owner, Federated Co-op, used a remedy involving putting petrochemical-consuming bacteria in the site, but said it will take at least another 5 years to run its course. The city’s new tactic is a cheaper alternative to what could be a multimillion dollar job of simply excavating the petrochemicals. “The City is undertaking the reclamation work as per our obligation under the Agreement of Purchase and Sale with Superior Lodging. We were doing this work to obtain a Certificate of Compliance pursuant to the Environmental Management Act,” said a city statement. Part of the money, $72,100 of it, is from a government grant, with the city paying the rest of the $138,00 total.

Fourteen youths took part in the camp for half or full days. Next up is a CANSail Kids camp in August. For more details, see the listing under Community Calendar on page 21.

He’s keeping an eye on you THE TERRACE Public Library has installed a new video camera and recording equipment to better keep an eye on activities both outside and inside. The old system couldn’t provide the quality needed to properly identify people and pulling off clips or images for police or other use was difficult, time consuming and cumbersome, says head librarian David Tremblay. “Technology has now improved so that now we have a top of the line system,” he says. Images containing a date and time stamp are stored on a hard drive so that retrieving segments to a portable storage device is much easier, Tremblay added. “What we had to do before could take hours or even a whole day,” said Tremblay of the steps needed to isolate images before. “We now have coverage in the children’s area and we considered that very important,” he

Outside coverage includes the loading dock on the west side of the library building. Split-screen capability on the library’s internal computer sys-

coming in or out are aware of the cameras and can see what’s happening for themselves. That’s meant to be a deterrence to any untoward activity, Tremblay noted.

Riverboat Days 2015

Captain and Queen honoured to be chosen for the roles By Margaret Speirs TERRACE - Riverboat Days Captain and Queen Ron and Mavis Ramsay will take time off their busy schedule of running the charity they began, Helping Hands, to take on their new roles during the 10-day event. “It’s a great honour to be chosen. It’s something we never expected to do,” said Mavis, adding it was the Terrace Community Foundation who asked them to be Captain and Queen. The couple has lived here on and off for years and been back here permanently since 1996. They spent years before that back to 1972 living here or in Hinton, Alberta, going back there for the last time when Ron’s dad had lung cancer. Here in town, Ron worked for McGill and Gibbs, a shingle mill in a variety of positions and had a fishing business while Mavis worked as a relief cook for a logging camp for Lloyd Hall and spent three years cooking and cleaning at a fishing lodge. “It was lots of work and didn’t hurt me any,” said Mavis. In Hinton, both worked for forestry and deactivated forestry roads. The couple started Helping Hands several years ago to help raise money for seniors needing money to afford their prescription medication and to help send those in need of medical treatment to Vancouver. They raise money by recycling donated cans and bottles and metal scraps too. Last year, they raised close to $40,000

Ron and Mavis Ramsay, who run the Helping Hands charity, are this year’s Riverboat Days Captain and Queen. and are aiming for $50,000 for this year’s goal. Last week, they hadn’t decided on their Riverboat Days outfits besides Ron’s captain’s hat and Mavis’s sash that proclaims her as queen. “We’ve never done anything like this before,” she said. They will be appearing at many of the Riverboat Days events during the 10-day event and of course, riding in a car just for them in the parade to kick things off.

TERRACE - There’s an allure to the idea of Dragonboating—20 paddlers prying the surf in a 50-foot boat fitted with a dragon’s head and tale. Call it exotic, primal, or just plain wild—what everybody needs to know is that the Lakelse Dragonboat Society is inviting the public out to give it a try on Aug. 5 in celebration of Riverboat Days. According to organizer Pam Bibby, the sport originated in China and was popularized during Expo ‘86 when demonstrations titillated a national audience, and later still when the sport was used for a breast cancer recovery program. Bibby says everyone is invited to the Riverboat Days event. “It’s great exercise, it’s lots of fun, it’s a team sport. You don’t have to be super athletic,” she said. “It’s really a team sport and because everyone is essentially doing the same thing, there’s no superstars because we are all paddling, it is a true team sport that way.” The boat itself has a 20 rower capacity along with steers person at the back and a coach who sits at the front. “You should expect to get wet. Even when it’s really calm. Because there is a little bit of splashing involved when we are on the water” she said. “The hardest part is the whole team working together and watching the ‘strokes’ who set the pace. The hardest thing for people to learn is to not look at their own paddle, but to keep their head up and look at the strokes so they can

stay in time with everybody.” “That’s why we get wait,” she says of the learning experience. If people like the sport they can even become a member of the club and do the twice weekly paddles as well as compete in the annual race. People familiar with the art of canoe paddling will feel at home because the paddle is similar. Though the stroke itself is more forward-and-back compared to the out-in of the canoe stroke. “It’s like a very long canoe. We do have a detachable dragon head and tail that goes on it,” said Bibby. “We have asked Kitimat to borrow it again. We are putting a float in the riverboat days parade as well. We are going to be towing the boat at the parade.” “A little bit of wind and chop doesn’t stop us,” she added of the paddle a the lake. “Everybody is paddling at the same time. It looks pretty impressive when you see everybody doing it the right way.” And the speed at which they travel is one of the most impressive aspects. In the annual race the boats will paddle 250 metres in about a minute and a half. Experience isn’t necessary and almost all ages and all skill levels are welcome and encouraged. And if you can’t make the event, get in touch with the team, they’re happy to take out new recruits or host team building events for groups or workplaces. Where: Furlong Bay at Lakelse Lake. When: Wed. Aug. 5—Session One at 4:00 p.m. Session Two at 7:00 p.m. Pre-registration: 250-635-1125

TERRACE - As part of this year’s Riverboat Days festivities, an association of local churches will be hosting its annual Church in the Park event on Sunday morning. “We are going to make music, we are going to pray for God’s blessings on our community, and we are going to hear a message from one of our pastors, Bob Pond,” explained Reg Friesen, pastor at the Terrace Alliance Church which has taken over organizing the event this year. The one-hour celebration will take place after a pancake breakfast in George Little Park and will feature a band of church leaders from the community that will lead the crowd in singing familiar hymns. “The intention is to bring all of the churches together and – to say we have different flavours and personalities and different core values – but our fundamentals of faith are the same so we won’t let our differences divide us,” said Bob Pond, pastor of the Evangelical Free Church that is leading the service this year. Pond cited that this is a unique opportunity as the churches in the community only have a chance to get together to celebrate a couple times a year, and this is one of them. “I think it is going to be fun being together, for those of us that worship week to week, but also for those of us who don’t normally attend church, this is an opportunity for all of us to come together,” said Friesen who will be leading the band. Pond plans to speak on issues that he feels affect interactions in the community. “I will speak on the importance of suffering – what do you do with the suffering that you are experiencing as a person,” he said.

Pastors Bob Pond, left, and Reg Friesen lead the service and the music at Church in the Park Aug. 2. “There are some good things about suffering because it helps us relate to other people who are suffering – we have to use this to bring comfort to people in our community.” The Church in the Park celebrations started in the early 2000s when the Evangelical Free Church held the event during the summer as part of its outreach. It was then asked by Riverboat Days to hold the prayer during Riverboat Days and that is when they teamed up with the Terrace Ministerial Association to host the event every year since. The event sees hundreds of people turn out each year, and Pond and Friesen say that they hope to make everyone feel welcome. “We want to make it accessible, that’s why we have it in the park,” Pond said. “Sunday in the park is going to be about celebrating the faithfulness of God, I believe that this really helps us put everything into perspective,” said Friesen. Church in the Park takes place August 2 at 11 a.m. and attendees are advised to bring their own chair.

Worksafe BC report details death “After instructing the crews on their duties in the morning, the foreman left for a different location of the project. No official supervision was provided on site at the time of the incident,” said the report. Workers took a break at 5:30 p.m. and afterward, they decided to finish before it got dark, said the report. The platform that Thornewell and his coworker were on was secured to an attachment mounted on the boom tip of a crane, said report. Workers wear fall protection equipment including shock-absorbing lanyards, which are meant to be attached to tie-off points welded on the platform. Thornewell worked “without attaching his fall protection lanyard to the work platform.” The crane operator saw the co-worker’s hand signals to boom down the crane, which did not move so the co-worker repeated the hand signals, said the report. Despite the operator’s attempts to move the boom down, it didn’t move, the report said. “Suddenly a noise that sounded like a metal object contacting another metal object came from [their] work platform. At about the same time, the boom dropped several feet without warning... The work platform also began to swing back toward the truck-mounted crane on its pivot point. “According to witnesses, as the work platform swung again in the opposite direction, [Thornewell] fell out of the platform from the side closest to [the] crane operator...,” continued the report. One crew member saw his shock-absorbing safety lanyard on him when he was on the ground, the report said. Thornewell had no vital signs, according to the other crew members. “Ongoing resuscitation measures were not successful and soon after the ambulance service assumed care of [him], the paramedics pronounced his death,” continued the report. WorkSafe BC noted that both Valard and McGregor “have comprehensive safety programs” and that Valard’s safety program was used on the project, said the report. Both companies conducted safety meetings,

periodic inspections and provided supervision, said the report. “The form for the toolbox talk for the day of the incident was filled out, and it confirms that ‘100% tie off when climbing these towers and when descending’ was discussed,” and Thornewell was there, said the report. “McGregor has a drug

and alcohol policy and tests employees upon hire. The firm tested its employees for drugs before work started on the NTL project,” said the report. Thornewell “was trained and certified” for the work, for working from the platform, was trained in fall protection and had a list of his safety training in their files, said the report.

‘The crane operator “was not qualified to operate cranes in B.C.... Valard and McGregor knew that [this employee] was working in violation of the certificate requirements for crane operators.” said the report. The report noted that the crane was the oldest one there but was inspected and had no defects that would’ve caused the ac-

cident. A toxicological exam of the deceased’s postmortem blood sample detected cannabis, however, the forensic toxicologist’s opinion was “that because of the delay between the time of death and the time the sample was taken, a qualitative calculation to determine the level of impairment could not be made.”

Airport numbers stable PASSENGER NUMBERS at the Northwest Regional Airport remain high despite an overall downward trend from the record-breaking numbers seen in 2014. The total passengers that flew into and out of the airport in June was 19,938, which is just under the 12-month running average of 20,250, according to the most recent statistics. By comparison, June of last year had 21,781 passengers come through the airport. According to airport manager Carman Hendry, the recent numbers show that industrial activity keeps chugging along in the area despite an 8 per cent decline in passengers. For example in 2012 there were 11,795 passengers and in 2013 there were 14,531 in June. “My math shows that we are still up 47 per cent from 2013 year-to-date numbers so our projections for passenger growth are on schedule, we were anticipating it. With industry growth and construction coming to end here, it’s what we expected. “Rio Tinto Alcan, they have opened all their pot lines now and they are in full production pretty much. A lot of the construction workers from outside the area have gone home, they will have no outside workers after September according to the information we have.” But now that the multi-billion dollar project that employed as many as 2,500 workers at its peak is completed there are other big projects, if not as big, underway. “We are seeing different vehicles coming in working on different projects,” he said. One project he noted is the Civeo site, the company contracted to install a 400-bed work camp for the planned LNG Canada liquified natural gas plant in Kitimat. “Our numbers even with the construction ending are still high, we anticipating we won’t go below 150,000 passengers a year. With the construction growth we have had in the past we have been afforded the opportunity to grow the airport,” he said. This growth is contained in the 20-year plan which includes designs for a expansion of the terminal building in the first five years.

COMMUNITY

A20 www.terracestandard.com

here are so many things to adore about summer, and as it never seems long enough in Terrace, I soak in every bit of it as much as I can. Good intentions to write or clean my house or organize or whatever be darned—I’m totally distracted. The season makes me feel simultaneously young and old, like I haven’t aged a day since I was eight—or 17— or like I’ve seen it all, been it all and am 80 looking back at the past with fond reminiscences. Just a few of the things that catch my imagination, make me smile or sigh with physical pleasure, or mist my eyes with gratitude and memories: The creaking back and forth of swing sets. The scent of sunshine-warmed grass. The smell of rain as it hits dry, dusty asphalt. The sharpness of almost-too-hot-totouch sand under your feet. How it feels to wrap up in a huge towel or blanket when you’ve, cold and shivery with goose bumps, finally climbed out of the lake. The way your skin has that salty outdoors smell when you come inside after spending all day outside working, playing, sweating. The warm crazy wind that sometimes kicks up in the evening after a hot day—you know, the kind that makes you think thunder and lightning might follow. Fresh bedding on suntanned (slightly burnt?) skin and tired feet. Being able to sleep with just a sheet (and not freezing). Snacks on picnic blankets.

JUST A THOUGHT

EV BISHOP

Ah, Summer Sun tea. (Try it yourself! Fill a twoquart jar with cold water, and add tea bags of your choice—two if regular black tea, four if herbal. Tighten lid and place jar in a hotspot of sun for a minimum of four hours. Sweeten with sugar or honey—or don’t. Lots of varieties are great unsweetened. Chill in the fridge or pour over ice and serve immediately. Experiment with different combos of teabags or add juice to create favourite flavours!) Reading sprawled on the lawn in the shade of a big tree. Reading on a blanket on the beach in the hot sun. Reading in my red lawn chair, able to spy on the street’s activity, hidden from view by my large jungly hedge. Reading when the summer rain pounds down and a

lively breeze streams in the open windows. Reading. How the dirt in my garden is warm, warm, warm to my weeding fingers’ touch. The prickly smell of tomato plants. The flirty, funny way people act in the sunshine. The romantic nostalgia of girls in sundresses and boys showing off in shorts. Glimpsing people who have obviously loved each other for many years walking hand in hand at dusk. The kiss of leather sandal insoles, worn smooth as satin under your foot, as you slide into them. Late night daylight! When the moon and the sun are visible at the same time. Driving down the highway with country music blaring. Camping. Hotdogs. Watermelon. Lemonade. Red wine around the bonfire. My cat’s sleepy-eyed squint as she luxuriates and lazes in the sun. “Why are you moving around like that?” her yawn seems to ask. Why indeed? The festive, fair-like atmosphere of the Farmer’s Market with its chatting, laughing crowds of young to old, huge array of desire-sparking arts and crafts, edible-looking soaps, funky jewelry, abundant produce, and stomach-rumble-inducing aromas. Oh, so many, many more things I could list … but I am out of space and it’s still light out. I’ve got to scoot! I wish you a month of sensational summer moments. May you revel in each detail with a wonderful sense of Ahhhh. This column originally ran on July 25, 2012.

Celebrations

Celebration of Life for AILEEN FRANK

on Friday,

July 31, 2015 at 2:00 p.m.

It is with much sadness that we say goodbye to a husband, dad, stepdad, uncle, grandad, great-grandad, great-great grandad, and friend.

On Friday, July 31, 2015 there will be a private graveside service for the late Aileen Frank, who passed away at age 100 on September 10, 2014 at the Madison Care Facility in Coquitlam, B.C.

Art passed away following a brief illness at home in Willow Point, BC in his 95th year, with his wife Maxine at his side. Born in Vancouver, Art moved to Terrace BC in 1954 and to Vancouver Island in 1964, first to Black Creek and then to Willow Point.

This brief internment service will be followed by a Celebration of Life for Aileen commencing at 2 p.m. at Heritage Park Museum. Following the Celebration of Life service, there will be a Strawberry Tea. Anyone who wishes to join this celebration of Aileen Frank’s life is most welcome.

ARTHUR (ART) BRYAN CHASTEAUNEUF Mar. 27, 1921 – July 12, 2015

Art was predeceased by his father Arthur (1890-1938) who emigrated from the island of Mauritius to Mission, BC in 1910, his mother Annie (1896-1990), his two brothers, Louis and Roy, and his three sisters, Laura Frankforth, Margaret Williams, and Norma Hayward. Art is survived by his wife Maxine, his daughter Rebecca Sundberg (Ken) and son Colin; his stepdaughters Laura Brooks (Allan), Margo Wynn (John), Cheryl Armstrong (John) and his stepson Jack Kennedy. He is also survived by his grandchildren Shelagh Rich, Aaron Sundberg, Kiera Polzin, Michael Armstrong, Stacey Armstrong, Todd MacVeigh, Danielle MacVeigh, Victoria Harrison, Andrew Harrison, Katy McClure, Andrew Kennedy and their families, and by his many nieces and nephews. Art was great-grandad to twelve and great-great grandad to one. Special thanks to Dr. Daniels and his staff and to the Canadian Red Cross and home care specialists who helped provide care in his final months. Also special thanks to the Memorial Society and the many family friends for their assistance and comfort prior to and following his passing. There was no service by request. He enjoyed a long and well-lived life, and will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Black belt showdown at arena FIFTEEN OF the quickest, toughest most talented martial artists in the country are coming to Terrace for the Black Belt Battles. Hand-picked from clubs across the country by local instructor and owner of Atlantis Taekwondo, the group of 15 black belts will spar in a ring set up in the Hidber Arena. “It’s something only big cities usually get,” says Cody Skog. “I’m setting the arena up to have an Asian feel.” Skog explains that the tradition of Taekwondo comes from Korea, which is why he has gone to some length to attempt to create an authentic atmosphere. This will include an archway and 20 banners in Korean. Basically, the arena will be transformed into a martial arts den where spectators will see not only the professional sparring but also boards cracked in half and traditional Bo demonstrations, the ancient martial arts weapon. “The whole arena is going to be dark, with one ring with lights on it, and there will be a beer garden and band and DJs afterwards.” The event will be one of the first held at the annual Riverboat Days festival. The sparring matches will be three two-minute rounds and a two minute break in between. Local black belts and red belts will also join in the demonstration. For years, Skog has been training people in the region to the art of honour and athletics that is part of this tradition and he says he expects a good turnout from around the Northwest. “I would like to say thanks to all the people who have been sponsoring and those who sponsor still will get their name on the radio and banners in the arena.” The event is being held July 31 at 6 p.m. and tickets are being sold at Boston Pizza.

Veldman selected for national team By CECILE FAVRON

WHAT DO you do when you’ve gone the farthest in your sport that any 16 year old can? This is the question facing Centennial Christian School student and volleyball player Evan Veldman as he wrapped up his training with Team Canada last week. The Grade 10 student was one of 40 youths from across the country selected for the national team. Veldman was chosen among players from other U16/17 provincial teams at the National Team Challenge Cup (NTCC) held in Edmonton July 15-19. He and a fellow Centennial student, Lucas Mantel, were picked for the provincial team earlier this month and trained in Kamloops leading up to the tournament. Team BC placed fourth at the tournament with a strong showing until the last few games, explained Veldman. “We lost a tight game to Ontario in the semi-finals and then went on to lose the bronze medal game, but I feel that our team played very well throughout the tournament and we were happy with the way we fin-

ished,” he said. Veldman’s high performance at the tournament captured the national coaches’ attention and the born-andraised Terracite found himself on the nationwide team. “It was a great feeling when I heard I had made the team, I had no clue that I was going to,” he said. Team Canada coaches chose players particularly based on their stats at the tournament. Veldman’s father and principle of Centennial, Edgar Veldman, said that he thought it was his son’s serving and passing skills that got him noticed. “I think Evan’s biggest strength is his passing consistency and his spin serve,” Edgar explained. Now that Veldman is on the national team’s radar, he spent an extra week training at the tournament facility in Edmonton with Canada’s top coaches. The national team will then play a mini round robin tournament to end the training. “The additional training has been a lot of classroom sessions and then taking what we have learned and practising it on the court,” said Veldman. The experience has been quite

unique for the small-town boy who says that playing at home feels so much different. “It’s definitely much different playing on these big teams than small-school teams,” he said. “And it is different playing on Team Canada because it is a development program rather than a lot of tournaments.” Now that Veldman is on the national roster, his development as a player will be supported in hopes he might make the men’s team. On its website, the national development program states that players selected to the team can receive extensive coaching and support to develop an academic schedule to accommodate training needs. For now though, Veldman just has his sights set on coming back home to play for the Centennial team. “I hope to bring back some of the knowledge that the coaches here have given me and bring it to our school team so we can become a better team,” he said. The next time you can catch the young prospect playing volleyball in Terrace will be at the Beach Blast tournament on the August long weekend, part of Riverboat Days.

s Climate change real? Is the Pope Catholic? Yvon Chouinard and I were motoring east on Highway 16 bound for the Homestead Run. It was August. The humpbacks were moving through the system in abundance. Yvon looked down on the salmon flipping in its slower sections and up to the flanks of the mountains. What’s going to happen to the salmon when those glaciers disappear? he asked. That profoundly important question forced me to ponder a phenomenon I was aware of but had been trying not to consider for a long time. Since I began angling the Skeena I have watched its mountainous ice sheets diminish. As reformed alcoholics and dope users will tell you, the first step to beating a problem is to admit you have it. Yvon’s question was a catalyst that forced me to admit that climate change was real and to consider all its gruesome implications as unpleasant as doing that is. It forced me to realize that the species to which I belong is at war with nature, the most formidable of foes that possesses armaments more devastating than anything men can muster. The evidence for climate change is so overwhelming – searing, temperature record setting summers, unprecedented algae blooms in the Nass and Skeena Rivers, increasing ocean temperatures, unheard of marine pH levels, mega storms (to name but a few symptoms) – yet vast numbers of people deny that it is happening. Ironically, some of the most vociferous deniers

Hockey sign-up goes online ADULTS LOOKING to register for the Rec and Oldtimers’ divisions in the adult hockey league this fall now have an easier way to do it. Starting this year, registration will now be online. Last year was the first time to register for the full season at one time after having two separate half season registrations previously, said Steve Smyth, president of the Terrace Adult Hockey League. “Registering online for the season is a natural transition and extension of this direction,” he said, adding that players wanted to use credit cards to register plus some out-of-town players or shift workers couldn’t get to the registration at the arena during the times it was held. And it will save time for the volunteers who run the league, he said. The Oldtimers’ division has five

teams, who have to be 35 years old, and play without slapshots or bodychecking. The Rec division welcomes players who are at least 19 years old, is very competitive with a high level of play and many former Terrace rep players and River Kings bring a heightened skill level to the game, said Smyth. Rec has eight teams, he added. And players in the league who suit up just to play for fun are always welcome as well, he added. Teams in both divisions are very well-balanced so any team can win on any given night, said Smyth. He notes that dangerous play, verbal abuse of officials on and off the ice and player-to-player chatter has been cracked down upon, said Smyth. “We just made the penalties stronger and actually enforced them,” he

said about how the problems were lessened. In past, younger players were most likely to mouth off at officials because they didn’t like a call but empowering the referees to make the calls and ask the players to leave has worked, said Smyth. “We don’t want ice bullying and it took three or four months to get the point across that we were not going to allow it anymore,” he said. “Some of those officials have to go to work with those they’re reffed against and everyone has to get along.” Refs are always needed and they’re paid well. Online registration is expected to be up and running August 1. Register for the Rec and Oldtimers’ leagues at http://terracehockeyleague. teamsnapsites.com

Through with damning the Mafia, Pope Frank wrote an encyclical on climate change. “Saint Francis of Assisi reminds us that our common home is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us,” he wrote, “This sister now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her. We have come to see ourselves as her lords and masters, entitled to plunder her at will.” “Human beings, while capable of the worst, are also capable of rising above themselves, choosing again what is good, and making a new start,” wrote Pope Francis in another part of the 180 page document where he calls for swift action to curb the burning of the fossil fuels. Most recently the Pope called a conference of mayors from large cities to address the issue of rising seas that promises to put most of those cities underwater absent meaningful movement by world leaders on climate change. The Pope’s influence is immense and his initiative is already having a global impact. His forthright actions shame Barack Obama, and our pathetic PM, who has done his utmost to scuttle science and in the process shown himself a willing puppet of the Oil Industry. As an atheist, I have no faith in god, but I’m going to have a Pope Francis T-shirt made, and I’m going to wear it proudly, cause, I have faith in Pope Frank.

Northwest mushrooms could be next big breakthrough in cancer treatment By XUYUN ZENG MUSHROOMS GROWING around your area could develop into the next big breakthrough in cancer prevention and treatment. Researchers at the University of Northern British Columbia hope to find more mushrooms around Smithers, Terrace, Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii when they visit later this year. So far, their pickings around Prince George yielded about 20 to 30 species, of which “90 per cent” of them have medicinal benefits. “It is known throughout the world that some mushrooms have medicinal benefits,” project leader Chow Lee said. “I’m interested to find out if mushrooms that grow across Northern B.C. have anti-cancer properties.

to examine these mushrooms. Lee also hopes to find anti-cancer compounds that specifically target cancer cells rather than killing both cancer and regular cells. “We’re collecting many species and we’ll do a screen to see which

one has anti-cancer biological activity, and then we’ll go from there,” Lee said. “Basically, right now, we need to prioritize which one we want to go after.” Mushrooms grow well in rainy, humid climates and flourish in

the fall. Lee said Southern B.C. has a drier climate and thus mushrooms do not grow as well there, whereas the more forested north with its climate makes for better mushroom growing. However, Lee cau-

“They would stimulate our immune system [which] will then recognize cancer cells... and then they will kill it” “They would stimulate our immune system. The immune cells will then recognize cancer cells... and then they will kill it.” Lee said he has received funding from Genome British Columbia which allowed him to go farther afield to collect and test unique mushrooms. In an email interview, Genome BC’s vice-president Gabe Kalmar sees this as a “smart” way of exploiting a unique local resource that will attract international attention. “Although mycologists have undertaken unofficial, unorganized surveys of the mushrooms that grow in Northern BC…nobody has ever done this using molecular tools, which is many orders more accurate,” Kalmar said. “So this is a first.” Kalmar said that after Lee establishes his study, he can then enter into more partnerships beyond UNBC that will extend his ability

tions that while many mushrooms have beneficial properties, he advises against eating unfamiliar mushrooms. “If that’s a mushroom that doesn’t have any toxic compounds such as shittake, button mushrooms that you

buy from the supermarket, then that’s good,” Lee said, “But a lot of these mushrooms in the wild have toxic compounds, so you don’t want to consume them.” For now, Lee has to keep finding and testing mushrooms in hopes

that his research bears fruit. “Finding a single compound that can be used for treatment – it’s a long road. Using a semi-purified mushroom in a nutraceutical way may be the fastest route for human consumption,” Lee said.

Is Terrace a car town? bcclassified.com Restaurant permit sparks debate

THE BUILDING permit application for a new Japanese restaurant planned for 4641 Lazelle Ave. property where the Cookie Jar Bakery used to operate led to a debate over parking spots and whether Terrace is a car-oriented community.

A company called Fengying Enterpireses Ltd is proposing the restaurant and applying on behalf of the current owners to renovate the space into a 40-customer restaurant with minimal parking. The development permit was granted by the city at a recent council meeting and contains a provision that the company must pay extra money because they don’t have the necessary number of parking spots. In lieu of these spots, the company was granted the option to purchase the parking spots at $3,500 a pop, as per the downtown parking bylaw instituted last year by council. The variance caused a debate with councillors over whether Terrace is a driving city or not. “I personally don’t like the cash in lieu,” said councillor Brian Downie. “I think that evades the issue of lack of parking.”

“Vibrant downtowns don’t have a lot of people parking,” Block responded. “They have a lot of people walking and you want to support businesses that will encourage people to go downtown.” Downie took exception. “I can see the theory of encouraging more walking around downtown, but in fact it is not happening. We are a car-oriented society.” “I think we are a fading car-oriented society,” Block asserted. “Statistics will show you that most people under twenty are moving in the direction, in most cities, of not owning cars. Less so in rural areas, definitely, but our society is heading there slowly. We have infrastructure that requires we have cars but I think we have to start looking at opportunities to move away from building our cities with that focus on cars.” “We are a car-oriented community,” Lecerc said after the meeting. “But we also have the mind set that we have to park outside of the business we want to go to. When you don’t have a busy community you have that option, but as we have become busier I think our residents are going to realize that you have to park a little bit farther away from a businesses you want to visit.”

want their customers to be free to have more if it suits their fancy, and to even be able to have a drink on the patio. Part of the Terrace start-up’s attempt to upgrade their provincial license requires city council giving the O.K. The public hearing July 13 on the matter found that no nearby property owners had any concerns. “The application they have with the province would amend their current license and allow them to have an additional lounge endorsement and increase the lounge service to include an outdoor patio,” city planner Tara Irwin told council at a recent meeting. “Currently with the manufacturer license they are only allowed to serve one drink per person per day. Their interest is to be able to hold special events, to stay open a little bit later and to start having more flexibility in what they want to do with the space.” Planner David Block said that the building’s available space is minimal and mainly used for the brewing apparatus which limits expansion options. In terms of the pub or lounge liquor licence, Block said it would make for more freedom. Currently, he said,“you can’t take your sample beer onto the deck with your sausage. You have to drink your drink in the building and eat your sausage outside.”

Ksan ramps up Wanted man arrested homeless help By JOSH MASSEY THE PROVINCIAL government has increased the amount of money it’s providing for various types of assistance programs here in response to low vacancy rates and higher rental costs, the executive director of the Ksan Society revealed earlier this year. It resulted in an increase in the number of spaces for the society’s cold weather shelter which operates from late fall to early spring. And a specific program for Terrace and five other cities now provides rental supplements of $450 a month for up to 20 people per month, money that can be used for overdue rent, damage deposits, unpaid utility bills, furniture storage and moving costs once accommodation has been found. It’s meant for aboriginals, youths, women experiencing violence or the threat of violence and people leaving correctional and hospital systems. As of this spring, Bains said the program has helped Ksan provide $40,000 to 113 clients. At the same time, an additional $73,500 from the province has increased from 10 to 16 the number of spaces available at the society’s family transition shelter. People can also stay in the transition shelter for 30 days, an increase from the previous 14 days. Still, the Ksan emergency shelter on Hall St. on the southside has to turn away people daily because the 21-person capacity is maxed out. A recent housing action plan assembled by the city shows that emphasis will be placed on providing more capacity if the population grows as expected. Information from the province indicates that in 2014 it provided $2.2 million in subsidized housing and rent supplements for 460 households in Terrace with under half of those being senior citizen households. A good number of the above subsidies go to the 24 units for seniors and others at Mar-

ket Estates and the Ksan complex on Hall St. which has eight small housing units meant for

shorter term stays. Groups are calling for new social housing, not just subsizes.

A MAN wanted here since April has been arrested down south. Christopher Paulson was arrested in Squamish July 23 for charges of sexual interference of person under 16, sexual assault and failing to appear pursuant to court order, all of which allegedly happened here. He appeared in North Vancouver provincial

court July 24 and he was remanded into custody. He was scheduled to appear in court again earlier this week. On April 2, 2015, Terrace RCMP issued a wanted notice for Paulson, 29, saying it was believed that he might be in the areas of New Westminster, Burnaby or Kelowna.
