Commercial catch upsets fish group By JOSH MASSEY

Building policy could be reviewed THE CITY’S policy of how it handles abandoned buildings “lacks teeth” and could be reviewed, says mayor Carol Leclerc following three fires in two such buildings this summer. But such a review, which would involve safety concerns surrounding abandoned buildings in the city, would only happen if enough people raise the issue, said Leclerc. “When there’s complaints by citi-

zens, it enables the city to build a case for being reactive,” she said. “If there’s a property that’s derelict, if it’s unsightly, there is a bylaw on unsightly premises.” Her comments follow three fires – the first on June 20 which heavily damaged a former CN bunkhouse structure on Atwood near the rail tracks and a second which finished off the building the evening of Aug. 16 and then a third

which destroyed a building at 4727 Park the same night. Both buildings were known to be used at times by homeless or other persons. “It was a bit of a shock, I’d say, periodically you would see those buildings burn, and to have two of them within a short period of time on the same night was a bit of a, oh wow,” said Leclerc.

A LOCAL fish conservation authority is upset federal officials opened a coastal commercial fishery for sockeye salmon, a move which it says goes against previous decisions. On Aug. 23 and Aug. 24, a fishery was opened for gillnetters at the mouth of the Skeena in response to an influx in sockeye numbers that pushed the total return for this summer past the one million mark, approximately one-third of the expected number and minimum for a commercial opening. Because the influx or “bump” happened late in August when the sockeye typically slows, Gitanyow Fisheries Authority head biologist and Skeena Fisheries Commission advisor Mark Cleveland says the commercial fishery shouldn’t have opened at all according to a conservation strategy created earlier this year. He said the previous federal plan contained provisions about holding off on the commercial harvest of late intake sockeye. “It’s basically a short term economic gain decision to benefit a few commercial fisherman and we think those actions are going to have long term impacts on salmon stocks,” said Cleveland. “A lot of taxpayers’ money went into insuring that all the players were at the table and we talked about these things during integrated harvest planning sessions and for them to just throw that away makes a mockery of the whole process.” One reason late run sockeye needs to be conserved is because of the by-catch – the term meaning one species being caught by chance when another is the actual harvest target. Late-run sockeye tend to be fragile, highlighting the importance of the trip to their spawning beds to ensure there are future generations. “We decided in the pre-season to put measures in place to ensure that stocks of concern, specifically Kitwanga sockeye, Lake Babine river sockeye, chum stock, steelhead stocks, would be protected. And that there wouldn’t be any late season openings, and the minister signed off on that in the integrated fisheries management plan,” said Cleveland. But according to federal fisheries officials, the surge in sockeye was a legitimate reason to allow a fishery. “The Skeena River sockeye run size is estimated at 1.16 million and growing. Timing of this run is late; most years this run is over by mid-to-late-August,” said Michelle Imbeau from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans last week. “This unusual run timing led to a change in the planned harvest method to ensure that commercial fishing would be carefully controlled and monitored to ensure careful management of the returning stocks,” she said. The permitted recreational catch was also raised from one, set in July, to two because of the late entry for the sockeye, said Imbeau. For Cleveland, who looks after the fisheries upstream where the First Nations and recreational fisheries happen, there is a need to keep the annual return strong and not have the spawning salmon subject to a commercial fishery. “If the bump had come three weeks earlier then the fishing would be okay,” he said.

Sidewalk spurs new group

A PLAN for a rainbowcoloured crosswalk to reflect the local lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning (LGBTQ) community has spurred the formation of a new group. When city council voted unanimously in July to repaint one of the city’s crosswalks in response to a letter by local resident Sarah Artis, the decision drew inflammatory remarks on social media. On top of that, the city received five letters against the proposal. One letter suggested the crosswalk might not be recognized as a crosswalk, creating a safety issue. While the majority of online comments supported the venture, the backlash of those opposed led a local gay JOSH MASSEY PHOTO man, Devin Wall, and a CITY HALL sidewalk is to be painted in rain- local woman to host a bow colours to reflect the lesbian, gay, bisex- meeting last week, atWARM UP YOURcommunity. WINTER WITH tendedTHESE by 32 people at ual, trans-gender and questioning

Knox United Church. “We had lesbians, we had gay people, we had transgender people, we had straight people, we had everybody,” said Wall, 27. Questionnaires were filled out in the expectation of forming an official non-profit society. Next up is establishing a membership, non-profit proposal and mission statement, said Wall. “The main thing we want is to be able to provide a safe place for people and to provide education for people by being out in the community and being proactive,” he said. According to Wall, the angry and discriminatory comments fol-

lowing council’s crosswalk decision came as a shock because he had never had a problem with discrimination growing up in Terrace. It was a politicizing moment for him when he knew he had to do something. “I grew up in Terrace and I have never had any issues with being gay bashed or anything else like that and I thought it was nonexistent, until the issues came up with the crosswalk,” said Wall. “I decided that we need to have some kind of a group that can be supportive and help create a more inclusive Terrace.” Three of those who attended the meet-

ing were city councillors and Wall says they seemed supportive of having a gay pride float in a future Riverboat Days parade. In fact, according to Wall, even having a support group in Terrace is a first. Wall also hopes to have the newly-formed group take an active role within the public school system. “We want to put resources in the school for questioning youth, as well as resources for the parents,” he said. “Their child may be going through something that they don’t understand and our parents don’t know how to deal with that,” Wall added.

L imited Tim

Future plans also include having a barbecue to celebrate the crosswalk once it is painted in. City officials have chosen to repaint the crosswalk which runs across Eby St. at the “T’ intersection in front of city hall. It’s a task that will take place in October with other scheduled work and will cost an estimated $2,500. It is going to have perpendicular stripes lined up in the direction that people cross. The full name of the group is the Terrace LGBTQ and Gay Straight Alliance, and they plan to continue meeting monthly to build their presence.

Award winners focus on growth WINNERS AND runners up of a regional contest aimed at developing small business owners have been putting their prize money to good use. The contest was called the ThriveNorth Business Challenge, a project of a national non-profit business mentoring and development agency called Futurpreneur and financed by the BG Group, which is proposing to build a liquefied natural gas plant called Prince Rupert LNG at Prince Rupert. Contestants gathered in Prince Rupert in the spring for two days of business concept pitches, after which a panel of judges decided on winners and runners up in different categories. In Terrace, a Coast Mountains school district registered speechlanguage pathologist, Nathan Hoffart was the $10,000 winner of the social enterprise category. He is moving toward meeting his goal of making the service more available in the area. His plan was to have speech language pathologists travel to communities for specific therapy sessions. For now, Hoffart has set up shop at the Terrace Hearing Clinic. Another Terrace contest participant, Jeff Minhinnick, took home $2,500 as the runner up in the best business expansion plan category with his plan for a mobile version of the newly-opened Ye Olde Chop Bloc barber business in Terrace. That’s still a possibility and Minhinnick and partner Travis Murphy have two barber chairs set aside for such an eventuality. They’re now waiting for the launch of the large construction camps that will be needed based on anticipated final investment decisions for major industrial projects. “Some of the companies we talked to wanted us to open a full barber shop,” said Minhinnick in response to their sales pitch for a

Fall Fair “A Family Affair”

Talents on display in the exhibit hall

FILE PHOTO

LOCAL 4-H groups put their best on display at every fall fair and their activities always draw a crowd of interested and curious spectators.

THE ANNUAL Skeena Valley Fall Fair this Saturday gives residents a chance to show off arts and crafts and all sorts of things made at home, says exhibit hall organizer Cathy Jackson. The 18 different categories, with a friendly judging to determine the best in each, range from best jams and jellies to best scarecrow. People can drop off their entries the night before on Sept. 4 from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Thornhill Community Centre which, with the community grounds next door, forms the core of the fall fair space. Exhibitions have a long history, but Jackson says they have changed over the years too. “I think traditionally it’s been kind of for farmers to show off the quality of what they grow, and you know I think that’s changed a little bit, be-

cause farming has taken a kind of back seat. You know, these events sort bring it back into people’s radar again,” she said. “There’s lots of people gardening, lots of people trying to grow things organically, and it’s kind of neat because their kids are really involved and they have their own gardens and they are doing crafts and specifically making stuff for the fall fair now. It’s become a real popular young person’s thing too.” Groups in town who have particular interests get a change to show off what they have learned or produced. Fall fair exhibit books are available at stores around town. The exhibit hall on fair day this Saturday opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m. The grounds themselves open at 8 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.

DRESSAGE FORMS an important part of the Totem Saddle Club horse show which accompanies the fall fair and takes place this Saturday and Sunday.

THE FALL fair also features a threeday horse show, with riders competing in dressage and hunter-jumper classes from Sept. 4 to 7 and organized by the Totem Saddle Club. Events begin Sept. 4 at 6 p.m. with dressage, where riders are judged individually based on a set pattern they follow. Horses and riders are dressed up and riders are judged based on how easily and smoothly they control the horse. Horses and riders will enter the dressage ring again Saturday at 8 a.m., competing in higher level dressage followed by freestyle competitions where they ride to music. Saturday afternoon is hunter classes, where horses are taken through a jumping track and are judged based on how fluid they ride and on perfor-

mance and jumping style. “It’s all about looking pretty,” explained Alice Sexton, president of the Totem Saddle Club. The jumps vary in height from one foot to three feet and three inches. Sunday, Sept. 6 starts off with jumping classes, where horses ride through a jumping track and are judged based on speed and accuracy soaring over jumps. “Jumping is fun to watch,” said Sexton. “There is lots of action in jumping, especially when they start to get to the higher heights.” The show will wrap up with English flat classes, where a judge calls out instructions to a ring of riders who follow her cues. Sexton says the club hopes to have 25 riders competing in the show.

Radio car club to showcase its new track By JACKIE LIEUWEN REMOTE CONTROLLED cars will burn around a race track as a new feature at the fall fair Saturday. As of May this year, Terrace has a new club called the North West R/C Club, which started on a backyard track. Rod Steele says he built the track as a BMX course for his son’s birthday last year, and it slowly morphed into a race track for remote control cars. From there, a racing group grew. “I invited random people, I had no idea,” Steele said. “It’s a whole group of people that never even existed before, never knew each other.” Steele says there is a range of people from “kids five years old, right up to 60-year-olds up on the driver stand” which overlooks the track. “Anybody can go up there and it’s pretty equal competition,” he said. The club has 20 members so far, and Steele says he expects membership to grow fast, as more than 60 people raced in his backyard in the last year. Certified as a non-profit society in May, the new club spent the last two weeks working on a new racing track in the Thornhill Community Grounds. Members will unveil the new volunteer-built track at the fall fair, where the club will show off

their skills and invite others to take a spin. The event will kick off with an open house from 9:30 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, open to anyone with a remote control vehicle to race. At noon, club members will do a North West Freestyle Challenge, showing off with jumps and tricks. At 1:30 p.m., club members will burn through two-hours of races for different classes of vehicles. “It should be really cool. We are putting lots of energy into it,” said Steele. He says R/C racing teaches driving skills and can be a great way to teach kids mechanics when cars need fixing or maintenance. “There is definitely a mechanical aspect to it, and that has a lot of value, especially to a young mind,” he said. The best thing for Steele is how racing events can bring family together, especially fathers and sons. “That’s my sole goal, to get the kids and the dads out there,” he said. “It’s a really good father-son activity, because they can enjoy it equally.” For more on the club, find North West R/C Club on Facebook or go to nwrcclub.wix.com/northwestrcclub.

EDITORIAL

Airports WITH passenger totals now comfortably over the 200,000 mark – enough to claim more than 60 per cent of the region’s air travel total – the Northwest Regional Airport is the northwest’s key transportation hub for air services. Multiple flights daily to and from Vancouver and Calgary by national carriers Air Canada and Westjet and regionals Hawkair and Central Mountain Airlines offer plenty of options not only to residents of Terrace and Kitimat but also the Hazeltons/Smithers and Prince Rupert. And it’s helped that the airport has benefitted from Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat smelter rebuild, liquefied natural gas facility and pipeline planning and the construction of BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line. But speak to anyone connected with the airport here and they’ll tell you that as dominant in air travel numbers as the facility might be, there’s a vulnerability. And that is should there ever be a service disruption for any reason, an alternate airport is a must. Which brings us to Prince Rupert’s airport. Sure it’s on an island and passengers need to take a ferry to get there and back. Yet the better that facility becomes based on a master plan unveiled for it earlier this year, the stronger the Northwest Regional Airport will be and, as a result, the more reliable the northwest’s air travel network will become to support us all.

Passengers were being abused

ith so many people walking among us supported by artificial anatomical parts the federal Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) in even the tiniest airports need to be schooled in proper pat-down procedure. Even in my limited sphere an elderly acquaintance gets around on two artificial knees. In my extended family one young man has multiple plates and screws in one leg following a motorcycle mishap. Another has an ankle stabilized by a plate and multiple screws since a car accident. Then there are all the internal organs braced by wire mesh following hernia repairs, stents that remind me of metal hair curlers inserted like culverts into blood vessels to prop them open to maintain adequate blood flow, and staples to close incisions after chest or skull surgery . In the year 2014 Prince George, Kitimat and Prince Rupert surgeons in our Northern Health Region alone implanted a total of 2736 orthopedic devices not

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI all of which were of a material that would set off an airport security detector. These devices included plate/screw, joint prosthetic, pin/nail and intramedullary nail. (The intramedullary nail is a sturdy rod inserted in a fractured long bone such as the tibia of the lower leg or femur in the thigh.) Excluded from this total are other types of fixation devices such as wire, mesh and staple because these are much smaller and less likely to set off the security wand. The Northern Health Region takes in Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert north to the B.C. Yukon border and

from Haida Gwaii on the west to Tumbler Ridge on the east. This data represents individual hospital visits and if a patient had more than one device implanted in a year, they would be counted multiple times. Therefore this is not a count of unique people. Also, Northern Health’s data system does not contain the material of the device so it is possible that these numbers include some devices that would not set off the airport security detector. Encompassed in this health region are a number of smaller airports where CATSA staff would be fewer in number possibly resulting in a shift without members of both sexes. To deal with this problem CATSA has alternate measures to make sure all passengers can be screened and allowed to board. The July 26 incident at Terrace airport where an all-female CATSA staff refused to pat down a man with a hip replacement thus delaying his travel by many hours and adding expense to his flight served as a wake-up call for the CATSA contractor and prompted CATSA to review procedures

with all staff Canada-wide. Yet only days ago an 80-year-old lady who had been whisked through security in Edmonton was denied by St. John’s security personnel when she sought to fly home to Edmonton after visiting her nephew for ten days. Motor Vehicles had taken her driver’s license while issuing her a new one. She had only a temporary license without a photo I.D. which St. John’s CATSA deemed insufficient. When the news article appeared, readers criticized the old lady for not carrying a passport, although why one would have to carry a passport within Canada escapes me. She could have checked with the airline before beginning her trip to learn exactly which two pieces of I.D. St. John’s accepted. Or CATSA could have used their discretion and not made a fuss about her temporary driver’s license lacking a photo. How much risk did they run from an 80-year-old lady tottering behind a walker, a woman who had completed cancer treatment in November so weak doctors didn’t expect her to live? CATSA abused both these passengers.

DEMOCRACY NEEDS to be returned to the workings of government on Parliament Hill.

Our democracy is still at risk

Dear Sir: On the occasion of the only TV debate so far with all of the political party leaders, Stephen Harper showed us exactly how much he knows or cares about Canadian democracy. He stated in plain English for all of us to hear, that he expects senators he appoints to support the party’s posi-

tion. He “expects” senators to do his bidding. We owe him thanks for coming out and saying that. I think he’s the first Prime Minister to do so. In practice, this attitude does not set him apart from any other PM since Trudeau the 1st. They’ve all done it far as I can see. It is interesting though that

Trudeau the 1st appointed 10 Senators that were not Liberals – 7 of those were Conservatives. And 30 per cent of Paul Martin’s Senate appointments were non-Liberal affiliates, and 80 per cent of those were Conservatives. Can anyone imagine Stephen Harper appointing anyone other than a Conservative

lackey to a senate seat? I didn’t think so. So here is a question. Why would a Prime Minister appoint someone to the Senate, when it is very clear that person does not share the PM’s views, and who he will have no ability to control or exert pressure on?

Cont’d Page A8

Dear Sir: On July 27th my wife and I were at the Terrace airport, headed to Ontario for a family wedding. The metal in my right hip activated the security alarm and I was summarily told by the female security personnel that I couldn’t travel on that flight because I required a pat-down and no male security officer was on shift. I would have to re-book on a later flight. No amount of attempted problem-solving would sway her or her supervisor. Air Canada staff got me out on the next flight but that meant a six-hour layover in Vancouver and travel through the sleepless night on the red-eye flight to Ottawa where I arrived nine hours after I intended, now appropriately red-eyed. I had spent the delay writing a letter to the editor of The Terrace Standard. I didn’t want to carry the frustration of that experience into my holiday. Then I forgot about it till my return two weeks later. CBC North picked up on the story upon my return. We are all travellers, we northerners and I guessed the story had some resonance. I didn’t realize how right I was. CTV and Global then followed suit as did the Canadian Press service. They passed the story on to the regional and national papers. I guess we are all travellers, we Canadians. What was it about this story? Our whole history as a people is of our slow recognition that we have rights and that these are based on our dignity and worth as human beings. We have fought over the centuries to have these both enshrined in law and respected in the affairs of every day, like travel, like going about our business within our own country. Security has increasingly become an issue over the last generation and while we have tried to weave it into our social balance, it remains a clumsy fit.

Time to give the PMO the old heave-ho

here can be only one issue for citizens to consider in this federal election. It is not the economy, the environment, or security. The preeminent issue in this election is governance: the process by which the nation is to be governed. We can rely on Elections Canada to produce an accurate count of the votes cast, but under our system the seat distribution in the House of Commons will not mirror the voters’ preferences. We can bemoan this fact, and maybe someday the system will be changed to ensure that the representation of political parties in House of Commons mirrors the national vote rather than the finishing line of individual constituency races. What distinguishes the substance of a democracy from all other forms of government, i.e. oligarchies and autocracies in all their shades and variations, is not the voting system, it is the manner in which government decisions are made and execut-

ed. In this election the question for Canadians to consider is not “Who should govern?” it is “How should we be governed?” The crucial question concerns the role the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) will play after the new government is sworn in. The PMO has grown over fifty years from a marginal adjunct to the Privy Council Office to the point where its power and influence now eclipse that of cabinet. The PMO’s purposes and functions are not set out in the Constitution. Information on the true cost of running the PMO is not readily available as it is ensconced in the Privy Council budget. PMO staff are not accountable to cabinet, to the House of Commons or to any of its committees. PMO staff members are hired on a contract basis by the Prime Minister. They serve at the Prime Minister’s pleasure, and they are accountable to no one but the Prime Minister. The PMO has not replaced the cabinet, but its role has been expanded to the point where it

GUEST COMMENT

ANDRE CARREL usurps the responsibility of Cabinet ministers to give policy directives and strategic guidance to their ministries. When the PMO determines the objectives to be achieved through legislation, how can ministers be responsible for what is tabled in the House of Commons? Under such circumstances, what can ministers do other than rely on scripted talking points that by-

pass and ignore questions asked? Democratic governance is undermined not by the use of these talking points, but by the lack of ministerial accountability with respect to strategic and policy directives in the formulation of legislation. Legislation such as the 2012 Jobs and Growth Act (Bill C-45) and the Jobs, Growth and Longterm Prosperity Act (Bill C-38) was written by ministry staff with policy objectives and strategic directives issued by the PMO. These two bills amended 135 federal laws ranging from nuclear safety to judges’ pensions. They are typical examples of omnibus bills, legislation dealing with numerous subjects, often unrelated, to be decided in a single take-itor-leave-it vote. The outgoing government made frequent use of omnibus bills, drafted under the auspices of the PMO, and with a time limit imposed on the House of Commons debate before calling for the vote. The economy, the environ-

ment, and our security are weighty issues the next government will have to deal with. Increasingly hitherto national issues are now subjected to global forces. We cannot know today what and how global twists and turns will affect the nation. The clairvoyance of aspiring politicians (and of voters) is rather pretentious. Promises in regard to these or any other issues are of marginal value and credibility. The constitution assigns the responsibility of how the nation is to deal with future economic, environmental, or security opportunities or calamities to the House of Commons, not to the Prime Minister. The outcome of this election will determine whether or not the power to control policy and strategic direction for future legislation will rest with the PMO, or with the people we have elected to represent us in the House of Commons. Retired public sector administrator Andre Carrel lives in Terrace, B.C.

Doing nothing at all threatens democracy The answer is that a PM who does that also understands the role of the Senate is to act as a check on the government and protect the constitution. A PM who would do that may also have actually read the constitution, and have noticed that nowhere in that document is reference made to political parties. In our constitution and the Westminster parliamentary system senators are senators, and MPs are MPs. There is no reference to party systems. In point of law, once elected or appointed, our parliamentarians have the right to vote however they wish on any issue. Senators especially are explicitly described as independent. Their explicit role is to act as a brake on the government, (not mind-

lessly support it!) and they have no business being in caucus. Tragically, this rarely happens these days. Although there are recent examples. Hugh Segal, a Conservative Senator, (appointed by Paul Martin, by the way) got the government’s antiunion bill C-377 sent back to the Commons from the Senate. You better believe that took some work. Why did he do it? Because he was a senator doing his job, which was “sober second thought.” It was his assessment that C-377 would not survive a Constitutional challenge. In other words, the government was breaking the law by passing this law. And he was trying to save all of us the needless expense of a Supreme Court process, where it is no doubt going to eventually end

up. After getting the bill returned, Segal resigned. Despite kind words about Harper he most likely knew his goose was cooked. If Harper couldn’t actually get rid of him, he could make his life very unpleasant if Segal stayed. The problem with the Senate is not the way it is designed, or the intention of its role in our governance. The problem with the Senate is the way it has been abused by Prime Ministers the last half century. We have seen far too few Hugh Segals, appointed for the simple reason that they are competent and principled people, deserving to serve in the senate. And we have seen way too many party hacks appointed, who do not respect the role of the senate, and who

think their job is to be doing what they’re told to do by the PMO. (Duffy, Brazeau?) That is perverted democracy. One other factoid you may like: the PM can’t actually appoint Senators. The Governor General has that power, not the PM. The GG could fill the Senate vacancies with constitutional experts tomorrow if he had the guts. Our governance is a mess. Not because the rules are bad or the system is wrong. It’s a mess because we have allowed party politics to hijack what is a wonderfully designed system. We need to respect it and understand it. Too many of we Canadians do neither. And we endanger our very democracy and our own liberties as a result. Dave Menzies, Terrace, B.C.

Pat down questions Dear Sir: I have been following the story with interest of Mr. Hart missing his flight because the all-female security staff refused his gentlemanly offer for a female staff to pat him down. Now that we know the staff at the Terrace airport should have accepted his offer that a woman pat him down, I am led to ask a question.

What about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gendered questionning (LGBTQ) community? Who decides who is the appropriate gender for a pat-down? And if we have LGBTQ persons as security staff, do they get a say, and does the passenger in question then get a say, in who can then pat whom? Marianne Brorup Weston, Thornhill, B.C.

A smile goes a long way We wish to be safe but not impeded. We do not suffer inconvenience well. We do not consent to be assumed to be guilty until we are able to prove our innocence. We do not consent to be assumed guilty until proven innocent. A story of being stopped for no good reason resonates. We know that it could be us. CATSA staff handled the exploding public relations challenge expertly. They promised to review the matter on a priority basis. They spoke to staff involved and looked at the surveillance tapes and were back in a week with an unequivocal apology. We were wrong. A mistake was made. There were alternative screening procedures but they were not offered as required. We are sorry. It won’t happen again. Not in Terrace. Not anywhere in the country. Staff have been reminded. If you go to the CATSA website and punch Security Screening and then Physical Search there is now a line that reads, “In exceptional circumstances, when a screening officer of the same gender is not available, alternative screening options will be offered.” Not may be, will be.

So what happened here, other than a large, well staffed bureaucracy moving quickly to effect a minor change and do public damage control? Did staff know of the policy? Did they misunderstand it? Did they simply choose to ignore it for their own convenience? The CATSA review is silent on that and on the basic principles involved: we are innocent till proven guilty, we expect to be treated with dignity and respect which involves both politeness and friendliness and their job is to keep us safe, not hinder us in our travel. Smiles and civilities go a long way with Canadians, especially when they themselves are trying to cooperate in order to create a shared safety. And this is the last take-away point, that we can make the experience easier by smiling ourselves. Airport security has got to be one of the hardest jobs in the country, invading each traveller’s private space in ways they often neither understand nor appreciate. If we expect to be treated with smiling respect, we need to repay in the same coin. Nothing would create more safety than that. Rob Hart, Terrace, B.C.

Suspect arrested TERRACE RCMP have arrested a person they describe as being known to them following an Aug. 27 home invasion on Sparks St. Police allege a 31-year-old woman broke into a residence of a 24-year-old woman on the 2800 block of Sparks the afternoon of Aug. 27 and then seriously assaulted the woman when she returned home. “Fortunately neighbours found the victim in front of her home and called 9-1-1 right away,” said Sergeant Mike Robinson of the Terrace RCMP. The victim was not able to provide any information to help identify her attacker but Robinson said officers were able to quickly pinpoint a suspect. “It was some great work done by our General Duty, General Investigative Services and forensics officers last night,” said Robinson. “We got the call just before 5 p.m. and our police officers were able to arrest a suspect within three hours by putting together a few pieces of information.” Police say the arrested suspect was not known to the victim who is in hospital recovering from her injuries.

Better treatment for elderly sought MARGARET-ANNE BAXTER believes there needs to be a better way for people to move from one kind of accommodation to another as they age or as their physical condition dictates. She’s had what she described as a series of fruitless conversations with local Northern Health Authority officials revolving around her 93 year-old mother, Norma Morrison, who is now in Mills Memorial Hospital waiting for a space at Terraceview Lodge to become available. And it’s caused her and other family members to picket various Northern Health offices over the past several weeks. While Mills has been described to Baxter as a safe place for people waiting to move to more suitable accommodation elsewhere, its key job as an acute care facility doesn’t lend it to providing social, mental or physical activities, she said. Morrison, said Baxter, can’t move around in a wheelchair because of a physical disability “There’s a lack of a transition program. It’s just sad. No thinking feeling human being should be treated that way. She’s in a holding pattern. We’re all going to be there [some day],” said Baxter. “What we need here is a conversation. But they don’t seem to have the will to act or change at all,” she added of the contact she’s had with the Northern Health officials. “What we need is a transition program to better transfer people from one level of care to another without disrupting their lives,” said Baxter.

MARGARET-ANNE BAXTER has been picketing Northern Health Authority offices here. Morrison, said Baxter, was fine until three years ago when she had hip surgery. Various complications lead to her having deep vein thrombosis, a condition involving blood clots. She then fell in the backyard of her house and shattered her right shoulder. Surgery was ruled out because of her age and although it has now healed, she has limited range of motion, Baxter added. Morrison was able to stay in her home with the help of twice-daily visits from Northern Health home care support workers and a meal service but after falling twice more, she was assessed and then placed

last fall in McConnell Estates, a housing complex immediately adjacent to Terraceview Lodge where she had access to more support and meals.

But one day while out shopping with Baxter, Morrison’s walker got away from her on a short incline. Struggling to regain control, Morrison tore two major muscle groups in her back, resulting in several visits to the Mills emergency room. The injury and pain persisted and Morrison, over the course of several months, was taken several times from McConnell by ambulance back to Mills. “The problem is that if you’re not ambulatory, they won’t have her,” said Baxter of her mother’s condition in relation to the services McConnell can provide. The decision was then made, after a final trip by ambulance to Mills, to admit her and to wait for an assessment and a space at Terraceview. That took place in early summer and Morrison’s been waiting since then. “She’s on the waiting list but I don’t know where she is on that list,” said Baxter. “And there [at Mills], she’s going downhill. She’s as basically as healthy as you can be at 93.” Baxter wonders why, because her mother was

at McConnell which is right next door to Terraceview, why she had to be admitted to Mills in advance of moving to Terraceview.

month is $30,000,” said Baxter. During her picketing stints, Baxter said people stopped her and told her their own, simi-

“The cost for my $30,000 a month.”

“I was told they don’t do it that way,” said Baxter, adding that the answer frustrated her. A report from the B.C. Ombudsperson, published in 2012, indicated it costs $1,200 per night to keep a senior in an acute care bed compared to $200 a night for a residential care bed – a difference of $1,000 a night. “That means, for my mother, the cost per

mother is

lar stories. “And they’re so glad somebody is saying something,” she said. In response, the Northern Health Authority’s Jonathon Dyck said it welcomes any questions from family members of people within its care and that its officials will meet with those family members. “We do want to work with patients and their families,” he said.

WE ARE NOW OPEN!

He said the authority has done a lot of work to reduce the amount of people waiting for care at Terraceview and how long they have to wait. “It used to be in the high teens or low 20s,” said Dyck of the number of people on the wait list. That number, just recently, stood at seven, he continued. Dyck did warn there are wait list fluctuations depending upon individual needs of people with the result that some people may be on the list longer than others. “We do a lot of work around transition; it depends upon a person’s needs,” he said. “There’s a lot of work and planning going into getting a person into the right bed at the right time.”

Salute to Labour!

It’s time to reflect By Irene Lanzinger

Labour Day has a long and significant history in our country. And as people get ready to enjoy a day off with family or friends, it’s import we don’t lose sight of why we celebrate this day each year. More than just a holiday, Labour Day is a reminder of the struggles and victories of working people across the country. A quick history lesson reminds us that the first Labour Day in Canada is widely considered to be a mass demonstration that took place in Toronto in 1872, when the Toronto Printers Union took to the

streets fighting for a nine-hour work day. Today, we take such rights for granted. Millions of Canadians – both union and non-union – go to work each day having reaped the benefits of past struggles. Every gain made by working people in Canada was hard fought, including the 8 hour work day, health and safety standards, overtime pay, benefits, and the weekend…to just name a few. The labour movement played a vital role in these victories. And today, we continue to play an important role in protecting them. Increasingly the

rights of working people are being undermined in Canada. Temporary and precarious jobs are on the rise, pensions are shrinking and retirement pushed back, basic employment standards have been whittled down and enforcement is almost non-existent. Many workers are unclear of their basic rights, and many others fear repercussion if they stand up when their rights have been violated. The Harper government in Ottawa has forgotten that working people keep our economy moving; opening the doors each morning for businesses

both big and small, building our needed infrastructure and delivering vital services across every inch of this country. In his haste to attack unions, the Prime Minister has forgotten that unions help bring stability to the economy – because when workers are paid well, are healthy and safe, and can support their families then our economy is strong and sustainable. But under Harper’s plan, the income gap is growing, more and more Canadians are falling behind and our economy is sputtering into recession.

Labour Day notes

• Labour Day was first celebrated in Canada in 1882 but was not recognized by the federal government has a holiday until 1894. • Unemployment insurance was not introduced until 1940 and

Canada was the last industrialized nation to do so. • The 1919 Winnipeg General Strike lasted six weeks and resulted in two people being killed. Workers wanted higher wages and fewer working hours.

Salute to Labour!

From Page A12

Reflect and then act It is time for change. Right now the most important opportunity for change is upon us. This federal election is critical to the future of our country. Working people need to be part of the democratic process. This is our chance to elect a government that is committed to fair taxation, good public services, pensions, childcare, higher minimum wages. It’s an opportunity to elect a government that shares our commitment to increasing equality in our country. These goals are achievable.

Irene Lanzinger The labour movement has been at the forefront of improving the lives of

working people for more than a century. And we will continue that fight. And we will celebrate our victories at Labour Day events in the years ahead. This Labour Day let’s remember where we came from – the mass demonstrations and strikes that resulted in the basic rights and employment standards that all Canadians enjoy today. And let’s commit to electing a government that will respect and protect the rights we have fought so hard for. Irene Lanzinger is the president of the BC Federation of Labour.

A few Labour Day notes • Labour Day is one of 10 official statutory holidays in British Columbia. The newest is Family Day in February, introduced by Premier Christy Clark in 2013. • In Quebec, Labour Day is known as “Fete du Travail.” • Labour Day may be celebrated in Can-

ada in September, but in some European countries and elsewhere around the world May 1 is the day for a workers’ holiday. • The Canadian Labour Day can trace its roots back to 1872 when the Toronto Typographical Union went on strike for a nine-hour working day.

She’s smitten with Terrace By JENNIFER SMITH

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

TANYA MIDDLETON from the Ye Olde Chop Bloc in Terrace with rescued owl.

Locals rescue an owl from a murder of crows By JACKIE LIEUWEN The man who saved a barred owl from a murder of crows this past Monday says he wasn’t the only one involved in the rescue. The man, Tom Walker, was tipped off about the owl by Gale, another Terrace resident who only wants her first name used. She had found the owl caught in a soccer net earlier that morning at Christy Park. She was walking her dog in the park and found the bird hanging upside down, with a wing sticking out and net tangled around its head and feet. “I thought he was going to die,” said Gale. It took her half an hour to untangle the bird, balancing on one leg and bracing up the owl with her other leg to keep it from being strangled. Gale said she set the

owl on the ground and left it for a few minutes, thinking it just needed to recover from hanging upside down. When she came back, the owl hadn’t moved. Since she needed to get home but wanted to protect the owl from dogs or other predators, Gale picked it up again and braced it up in a nearby tree. “He seemed to know me,” she said. “That sounds crazy, but he didn’t get scared at all.” Gale named the owl Hardly because he was “hardly alive and hardly made it.” Later she saw Walker walking his dog downtown and asked him to check for Hardly if he went by Christy Park. Walker says he went to the park an hour later and checked for Hardly in the tree, but didn’t see him. “On the far side of the

field when I got there, I could hear the screaming of the crows, but I didn’t know what was going on,” he said. That is when the owl burst from the trees and landed at his feet. “It wiped out face-first right in front of me. It was so tired, it couldn’t get up,” he said. “Its wings were completely extended and it was laying on its face... I had a dog with me so it had to be pretty desperate.” Walker says crows gathered in the surrounding trees while he threw his jacket over the owl to protect and pondered what to do. “There’s no handbook about what to do when a raptor falls at your feet,” he said. He picked up Hardly and walked downtown while he pondered his next

move. When employees at the Ye Olde Chop Bloc barber shop noticed him with the owl, he walked into the shop to ask what he should do. With advice from their friend, he took the owl to the provincial Conservation Office where it was checked and then shipped to the Prince Rupert Wildlife Rehab Shelter. Shelter operator Nancy Golinia says Hardly is this year’s hatchling, but his injuries were very minor and he is doing well. He is being treated with antibiotics and fed highprotein to strengthen him for the winter. In three to four weeks Hardly will be released outside of the shelter in Prince Rupert. Golinia says that way Hardly will know where to go for food if he struggles this winter.

TERRACE ISN’T exactly the type of place you normally brag about going to, in fact most people questioned what could possibly possess me to spend my summer vacation in the northern B.C. town. “You’re going where?” was the usual response, followed by, “Why?” I even had to pull out a map for a few who had never heard of Terrace. A friend who lives there went as far as to question my motives, stating: “Nobody comes to Terrace.” But alas, it is true, I made the long trek (normally a 14-hour drive, but thanks to my aunt’s Air Miles I was able to hop on a couple planes and be there in a fraction of that time, plus my daughter got to experience her first airplane flight). It was family, including my cousin’s 40th birthday celebration, which brought me and my plus two to Terrace, and the beauty and nature of the area were a bonus. I suspect that was the case for my relatives, who moved up there years ago for work and more affordable housing, but stayed after falling in love with the bounty of outdoor activities and scenery. We too discovered that on several of our outings. A trip out to the Nass Valley, just outside of town, brought us to acres of lava beds lining the road from a volcano eruption 250 years ago. Since it wiped out two villages and 2,000 Nisga’a people, it is a protected memorial park. Nearby Lava Lake mimics the breathtaking colours of Kalamalka Lake (although not quite as extreme as our local lake has been this year) with glacier-capped mountains in the background. And further up the winding road there are other sites such as Vetter Falls and the Gitwinksihlkw suspension bridge over the Nass River. Then there was Salmon fishing on the Skeena River. With salmon fishing banned in most of our local waters, it was quite the treat to be able to haul in approximately six to 11 pounders (the real big ones got away), and get to keep them. Thanks to Skeena Wilderness Fishing Charters for the incredible day.

Jennifer Smith Another summer treat we got to enjoy up in Terrace was campfires. Unlike the rest of the province, which is on fire and under bans, the frequent rain in Terrace meant we could finally roast some marshmallows over a real fire (versus the propane fire pit we invested in this year). Although I don’t miss the campfire smell saturated in your clothes and hair, it was a part of summer camping that I’ve longed for. In fact, even the rain was a nice break from the scorching hot Okanagan summer. But coming back home to the beautiful weather (even last Friday night’s wicked storm performance) I was grateful to be able to soak up the sun again. And as beautiful as Terrace was, nothing quite beats the Okanagan. No offence to my relatives, who are constantly trying to get us to move to Terrace, but I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else but right here in Vernon. As a born and raised Okanagan girl, this is my home and this is where my heart is (along with my immediate family, inlaws and a multitude of friends). And I will continue to entice my Terrace family, along with the rest of my relatives who are spanned out across the province, to come back home to their own Okanagan roots. Some people spend their entire lives searching for that special place to put their roots down and call home. I’m blessed to know nothing different, and as much as I enjoy travelling and experiencing other locations, there’s nothing like coming home.

Teacher helps win Grammys By JACKIE LIEUWEN

■■ Kids n Kops JOE DAN Handel pulls off a great rescue with the support of Dwayne Sheppard from Terrace Search and Rescue at a Kids n Kops session at Lakelse Lake. Participants also learned first aid, toured the ambulance station, went bowling, examined a simulated crime scene on Ferry Island and enjoyed a barbecue.

A TERRACE-RAISED music teacher has been instrumental in having his Texas high school earn top Grammy honours. Andrew Clark is the son of George and Tessie Clark, and for the last six years has been Director of Classical Guitar Studies at McCallum High School in Austin, Texas. The school was named the 2015 National Signature School by the Grammy Foundation, honouring it as the best in the United States for its music program. McCallum band director Carol Nelson said Clark was key to the award. “His work with the classical guitar program was very instrumental in having McCallum High School being named the National Grammy Andrew Clark Signature School,” she said. The award comes with a $5,000 grant which the school plans to use as leverage towards building a diva acoustic shell on the concert theatre. The shell would line the stage with special paneling to aim the sound towards the audience. McCallum High School enrolls 1,700 students and is home to the Austin ISD Fine Arts Academy. There are over 600 students in music, studying in fields like concert band, orchestra, choir, classical guitar, steel drum and jazz ensemble.

2015 FEDERAL ELECTION

Terrace Standard Wednesday, September 2, 2015

Candidates tangle over border crossing TWO OF the Oct. 19 federal election northwestern B.C. candidates have weighed in on a change at the Stewart border crossing with one pledging a return to previous service and the other saying security will be maintained. At issue is a telephone reporting system installed at the border earlier this year for the eight-hour period from midnight until 8 a.m. It replaces what had been a full service presence by Canada Border Services Agency agents at the post between Stewart and Hyder, Alaska. People wishing to enter the country during that eight-hour period now phone an agent on duty in Beaver Creek, Yukon in order to be cleared. The move has been criticized by the border agents’ union, the Customs and Immigration Union, which says it opens up a security threat. Incumbent Skeena - Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen says a NDP government would restore 24-hour service. “This decision by the Conservative government has taken a toll on families and the local economy in Stewart and on our friends in Hyder, [Alaska] and poses major risks to public safety in the event of an emergency,” said Cullen. He said the decision early this year to first close the border between midnight and 8 a.m. and then amended in the spring to install a phone was done without speaking to local residents. But Conservative

candidate Tyler Nesbitt said the border services agency “will ensure that security is maintained while making legitimate travel more convenient.” “Outside of regular hours, special accommodation is made for emergency service vehicles and locals can report remotely outside of regular hours,” he said. It’s a position different from one which Nesbitt took in February of this year on his Facebook page. Then Nesbitt was calling on the federal government to reverse the decision to close the border during the overnight period. “After speaking with local residents and business owners it is crystal clear that these changes will have a net-negative impact on business and tourism,” said Nesbitt in his post. “My opposition to this change will likely not sit well with bureaucrats in Ottawa – and so be it. I’m looking out for the interests of our local communities and will go to bat for them regardless of who’s in power.” “I stand by my recent statement which simply lays out the facts of how

the border currently operates,” said Nesbitt in a subsequent statement The Customs and Immigration Union criticism of the telephone reporting system centres on the inability of a border agent on the other end of the phone to know exactly what is going on. “But they don’t know who they’re speaking with and they’re clearing them without knowing how many people there might actually be there or what they have,” said union president Jean-Pierre Fortin who toured the northwest last week. Fortin said there were cameras at the

border but they do not broadcast live and only record for later viewing. If the border services agency told people this was a way to save money, then that isn’t the case either, Fortin continued. “What they have is two officers on standby. They’re paying them a premium. Frankly we don’t know where the savings is,” said Fortin. Those officers would then be called out if the officer at Beaver Creek in the Yukon felt a physical examination was in order. Having those two officers at the border would be just as economical, Fortin said.

Pro-life activist chosen to run for office THE CHRISTIAN Heritage Party has chosen a pro-life resident of Tumbler Ridge to be its Skeena - Bulkley Valley candidate in the Oct. 19 federal election. Donald Spratt was unopposed at a nominating meeting held Aug. 24 in Smithers. Spratt “is a strong moral and fiscal conservative who unapologetically places historic Canadian founding constitutional principles above the political correctness of the progressive camp that make up the three major parties,” said party leader Rod Taylor in a release. Over the years Spratt has established himself as a strong pro-life presence in protesting Canada’s move to legalize abortions. It has resulted in his arrest several times in the last decade for being inside a “bubble zone” around abortion clinics. The term “bubble zone” stems from legislation passed in 1995 which bans people from protesting within 50 meters of an abortion facility. On one of the occasions, Spratt and fellow pro-life activist Cissy von Dehn were also charged with “sidewalk interference.” The pair based their defence on the constitutional rights of freedom of religion and freedom of speech in saying they were only passing out copies of the bubble

Court of Appeal in 2013 found against Spratt and von Dehn, ruling that their behaviour constituted an act of protest carried out within the bubble zone. Spratt’s nomination means that Taylor, from Telkwa, who has been the Christian Heritage Party candidate for the past four federal elections, won’t be running in the riding. Taylor, chosen as the party leader last fall, is instead running in the Ottawa West-Nepean riding in order to raise the party’s profile nationally.

Mountain bikers race a wild ride By JACKIE LIEUWEN

KYLAR HIGHE flew into first place in the Wild Wild Descent Mountain Bike Race Aug. 23. The site of the showdown was the two-kilometre Pack Horse Trail on Copper Mountain, and organizer Bruce Martindale said all the winners clocked super fast time. Kylar made it down in 2:29, only five-seconds faster than second-place winner Nikolas Berndt at 2:34. Third went to Richard Payjack with 2:38. “Kylar was the first one to come down the mountain at 2:29:62 and nobody beat him for the rest of the day,” said Martindale. Seventeen riders from Terrace and Kitimat showed up on the mountain to compete. There was “lots of sunshine, and [some] rain and wind and everything, but it was good,” Martindale said. The race was organized by Wild Bike and sanctioned by Terrace OffRoad Cycling Association (TORCA). The winning females were first Renee Froese at 2:51, second Stacey Blake at 2:52 and third Helen Purslow 3:01. Of the under-19 racers, first went to Brendan Barnett at 2:43, second was Marlon Quack at 2:46, and third was Kyle Anderson at 3:31. TORCA is active in both organizing events and building trails.

Volleyball camp aims to keep game fun By JACKIE LIEUWEN

THE THOMPSON River University (TRU) volleyball camp is aimed at kids having fun while they develop skills for the sport. Matt Kruegar is a former TRU athlete and assistant men’s coach, and ran the volleyball camp for the fourth year at Caledonia Senior Secondary School last week. “My goal for this whole thing is, if you can teach them a couple of skills to make them a little better that’s good, but if they have fun and actually want to come back and play volleyball, then we think we did our job,” he said. “That’s what this camp is for,” he added. Over 32 Terrace youth and 24 children participated in the camp last week, which was split into morning and afternoon sessions for different age ranges. The first half of each session focused on skill building and drills, the second half they played games. “I like to have them play a lot, I think playing is really important... If you can’t do it in a game than there is no purpose to it,” Kruegar said. The other TRU players who

ran the camp were women’s allstar Iuliia Pakhomenko, men’s third year setter Tyler Pomietlarz and fifth year power hitter Brandon Hewwing.

Hewwing said he helps at the camps because he enjoys the sport and likes seeing younger athletes have fun and develop various aspects of their game.

Developing athletes and teaching and strengthening volleyball skills is the second main reason for the camps, said Kruegar. He says it is nice to see the

camp developing athletes such as Cole Nutma, a Terrace-raised university athlete, and Evan Veldman and Lucas Mantel, who spent their summer playing U16 volleyball, which develops athletes for team B.C. Evan and Lucas both said the annual summer TRU volleyball camps definitely contributed to their ability to play at a higher level. Evan said the key was how it taught them more aspects of volleyball at a young age. Lucas adds that it gave them more reps to hone their skills. It also helped them learn to have fun, Lucas said. “They really encourage you having fun, but at the same time working you really hard.” The sentiment is echoed by other participants in the weeklong camp, such as Ben Mantel. “Somehow they make tiring stuff seem fun,” he said. “You definitely get pushed a lot.” Sarah Flach says the camp is “really intense, and you learn a lot, but it’s also really fun.” Liam Nutma says the coaches also inspire him. “They always keep us going and keep us strong,” he said.

SEVEN RUNNERS came out for the first-ever Ted Squared race Aug. 23. It is a scenic 10.5 kilometre route from the Spring Creek watershed to the mouth of the Johnson Trail.

Two new races emerging for local outdoor trail runners

By JACKIE LIEUWEN TWO NEW trail races are emerging for running and outdoor enthusiasts in Terrace. Organizer Sherrie Hamer said she started up the new Ted-Squared race this year to expose trail runners to a network beautiful trails. “There are some really nice trails and I wanted people to get a chance to try them out,”

she said. “It is totally a trail run, as opposed to the King of the Mountain, which is partly on the road and partly on the mountain.” The new TedSquared trail race takes over an hour and starts at the Spring Creek Watershed, running over Steinhoe, onto the Terrace mountain trail and to the mouth of the Johnson Trail.

look up river. It’s low. The air is warm. There is only a slight breeze. There will be no fish in the small plunge pools and swift chutes between the boulders. I need a pool. It doesn’t have to be large, just large enough to hide a steelhead. From where I am I can see a long way upstream. Its steep. There is no pool in sight. At the uppermost end of my sight line, the gradient seems less severe. The suggestion of a pool is enough to persuade me to keep going. In higher water my passage would be hard. Today, I can cross almost anywhere. Discovering this spot has taken a lot of time and energy. The quest began in the 1990s when Pawsome, a pup at the time, jumped into the stream for no apparent reason. She was promptly swept under a birch sweeper and popped up on the far side, to my relief. It was probably on a weekend, since I was teaching school then. It would have been in the fall because that is the time of year when I look for trout that have followed the salmon into their home streams in search of eggs and flesh. I would probably have beached a few trout and char that day, but I can’t recall that. What I can recall was two shiny 8 inch juvenile steelhead I caught. Did these fish prove there were steelhead in the stream or did they call another stream home? Were

“This is an amazing trail that takes you through some challenging, but breathtaking scenery, along the way you will hear the trees creaking & moaning, as well as birds, and the odd screech from mountain bikers,” said Hamer on Facebook. The race is named in honour Ted Johnston, an avid mountaineer in the early 1900s who settled a homestead in

the Spring Creek area. It also honours Ted Hamer as a longtime farmer whose family settled Ferry Island in the early 1920s and who loved hiking the local forest. Seven local runners aged 30 to 60 competed in the Ted-Squared race August 23. Top overall winner was Tara Irwin, who finished in 1:01:35. Second overall and top-male was Brent

Webb at 1:04:10. Top woman over 40 was Donna Hull at 1:06:25. Top male over 60 was Rod Gee at 1:27:28. Hamer says next year she plans to organize the Ted-Squared race in July, and expects more people to come out earlier in the season. She also plans to organize another 21-kilometre race in the same area.

tance above makes me forget my fatigue. I resolve to walk to the uppermost pool and fish down. The pools aren’t long or deep, so I walk thorough the devil’s club, then alder and willow thicket, sinking in mud up to my knees in a bog before climbing up to where I get a clear view of the upper pool. There is a rock the size of a smart car submerged in its middle. Through sunglasses under my long billed cap, I can make out the bottom in detail. No fish in the part of the pool not obscured by the boulder. I make my way down, set up my rod and send a small nymph through. The dominant rock makes a good drift difficult. An hour and three patterns later, I give up then move down to the second, smaller pool. Oona crosses below me. When she is half way across, two dark torpedo shapes bolt upstream to hide in the turbulence at the head of the pool. My pulse quickens. I sit and tie on a Royal Coachman with a parachute hackle and wait for an awfully long time before moving upstream, stooped over, eyes riveted to the Coachman as it drifts undisturbed downstream toward us. One of the fish has dropped back. It rises and takes the fly, head then tail, then leaps into the air at the sting of the hook, runs, then leaps once more and gains its freedom. I turn to the dog and tousle her hair and ears. “Perfect,” I say, convinced it was.

KSM Project: Steady Progress & Exciting New Discoveries For some companies, the summer months mean a slow down in activities, however for Seabridge Gold, it’s a busy time of year for carrying out exploration activities and environmental ﬁeld work at its KSM Project. Seabridge Gold owns the KSM Project, a proposed gold, copper, silver and molybdenum mine located 65 kilometers northwest of Stewart, BC, which received its environmental approvals from BC and Canada in 2014. Seabridge has been working on the Project since 2007, and continues to conduct exploration, joint venture talks, environmental and community engagement activities all of which are required before construction can begin.

zones at depth provide encouraging news for investors holding Seabridge shares and makes KSM more attractive to a potential joint venture partner to develop the project. However, a company’s share price and the likelihood of obtaining a partner for a major project are inﬂuenced by the state of the commodities market, which is impacted by other factors including industrial demand for mineral resources and global economic conditions in other countries such as China, Greece and the United States. Seabridge continues to work on acquiring a joint venture agreement with a suitable major mining partner for KSM. A joint-venture partner would bring ﬁnancial backing and technical expertise to ensure that the project is developed and operated responsibly over the long-term. What is a joint- venture partnership?: In a mining industry joint venture, called a JV for short, two or more different organizations agree to set up, fund, develop and operate a separate business opportunity by jointly supplying assets and management capabilities and sharing in the benefits as partners.

lot water treatment plant to remove selenium from KSM Project site water. Selenium occurs naturally at levels which exceed guidelines established to protect aquatic life in the waters at the site. The ability to remove selenium from waters will ensure that background levels of selenium do not increase as a result of the KSM operation. Seabridge met this condition last month when BioteQ Environmental Technologies, Inc., working under contract for Seabridge, used its proprietary technology in a pilot plant to successfully reduce selenium concentrations to very low levels (1 part per billon) using water taken from the KSM Project site. “The successful completion of the pilot plant test achieves a further milestone in KSM’s ongoing transition from exploration to development, and conﬁrms the technical feasibility of the treatment technology proposed during KSM environmental assessment review process. The results provide further evidence that KSM has been designed to operate in an environmentally responsible manner,” said Fronk.

Exploration: The objective for the 2015 KSM Project exploration program, which runs from May to September and employs geologists, drillers, core cutters and support staff, is to potentially discover and expand higher grade mineral zones and add additional gold and copper resources for the project. The ﬁrst months of the core drilling program have delivered encouraging results, with ﬁndings that indicate a potential high-grade mineral extension of the Mitchell deposit – KSM’s largest copper-gold deposit, at depths deeper than previously explored.

“We’re excited about where this discovery could lead, so we’re going to focus our attention on analyzing the new data we have discovered on the Mitchell deposit. The balance of the 2015 drilling program will concentrate on expanding the existing Deep Kerr deposit,” says Rudi Fronk, Seabridge Gold chairman and chief executive ofﬁcer.

Environmental: To meet some of the 41 conditions imposed by the KSM Environmental Assessment certiﬁcate granted in July 2014, Seabridge must continue baseline data gathering and tracking. The 2015 environmental ﬁeld work underway includes conducting additional water quality, hydrology, and atmospherics work to ensure the responsible development of the KSM Project and that the environment is protected.
