Does the city need a slogan?A RECENT letter submitted to the editor of this paper arguing that Terrace needs an of-ficial slogan set off a string of suggestions submitted by readers through Facebook.
Other large northern cities tend to have slogans. For instance, Prince George is called “Gateway to the North” and White-horse is “The Wilderness City.” Fort St. John goes by the moniker “The Energetic City.”
Meanwhile Terrace remains sloganless. The many suggestions received ranged
from positive, humorous to strange. One person commented that no name is
best. Positive, affirmative suggestions included
“Home of the Kermode” by Wendy Scott. which would jive well with the official and trademarked city logo of the Kermode bear. “Welcome to Terradise,” is another, submit-ted by Mandi McDougall.
Other suggestions included “Land of Op-portunity – the True North, diverse and free,” and “Salmon Capital of the World,” both by Maggie Jo. Judith Olsen suggested “Terrace, one step in the stairway to heaven,” and Joe Bevan chimed in with “The Land of Many.”
With another flavour, John B Nelson thought “the central hub of transportation from trucks to lumber, oil and natural gas” would define the town well.
And Brandon Greenall suggested “Ter-race, a great place to live, but the rent will kill you.”
The rest can be seen on the Terrace Stan-dard’s Facebook page.
The letter writer, Max Durando, formerly of Terrace and now living down south, said the slogan should note the city’s strengths including natural beauty, wealth of industry
and commerce, First Nations culture and art and – the breadth of the many other visual and performing arts “that bind the commu-nity together and make Terrace a desirable place to live.”
Durando’s own suggestion is “Vibrant by Nature.”
“That’s kind of catchy and it reflects the sum of all those strengths,” he said.
He also said he saw a business publica-tion refer to Terrace as “Heart of the North-west.”

IF TERRACE and area was a Monopoly board, then we would be seeing a number of those little red hotel markers appearing here and there.
In its Aug. 25 meeting, city council granted development permits to what is called the Sung Soo Kim Hotel Develop-ment for a complex to be located on 5112 Highway 16 West beside the Canadian Tire.
The hotel will have 93 rooms spanning four storeys and construction is planned to begin before the end of 2014.
A variance on maximum height for a building in the C3 commercial zone from 9 metres to 17 metres was also ap-proved by city council last night.
Another permit was also granted which will allow the company to develop 44 metres of Brooks St., which runs north up the east side of the development between it and Canadian Tire. This is to aid entry and exit of the parking area for the hotel.
Originally the company had wanted to apply for two de-velopment permits at once to build a second piece of prop-erty right beside this one, however, city sustainability coor-dinator Tara Irwin told council that the developer has opted for a phased approach.
Previously the developer said part of the property needed environmental reclamation work done before it could be de-veloped.
The permit mandates that construction has to begin with-in 12 months from now and the city has a $150,000 deposit held against this and other requirements such as landscaping requirements outlined in Terrace’s Official Community Plan.
This is the fourth hotel project announced in Terrace and Thornhill in the past year and a half. The only other one to be at the development stage is the Sunshine Inn being con-structed just down the highway about 2 kilometres east, be-side Kalum Tire.
In Thornhill, there is a Holiday Inn Express hotel planned, and back in Terrace, on the old Co-op lands on Greig Ave., Superior Lodging of Calgary is waiting for environmental work to be completed by the previous owners before con-structing another 100-room hotel.

There’s a race for mayor’s jobLOCAL POLITICAL veteran Carol Leclerc has announced she plans to run for Terrace mayor in the upcoming November local gov-ernment elections.
She joins city coun-cillor Bruce Bidgood who earlier announced he’s also in the race for the city’s top job.
The mayor’s seat is open with Dave Per-narowski saying he won’t run again.
After some thought, and also after letting Bidgood know her in-tentions, Leclerc decid-ed the opportunity was too good to pass up.
The race would fea-ture two candidates with political party connec-tions in that Leclerc ran as the provincial Liberal candidate for Skeena in the 2013 provincial election and Bidgood is a NDP supporter.
At the same time, Bidgood and Leclerc are close friends from their days together on Terrace city council with Bidgood providing support for her in her 2013 bid for provincial office.
“About a year ago people started asking me if I was going to run, which came as a bit of surprise,” said Leclerc of her decision. She says the fact that Terrace is in an impor-tant transition period inspired her decision to run.
“I’m really excited to take on this challenge. I think it’s a pivotal time for Terrace and leader-ship is going to be key. I think it’s going to be important to work with a number of community partners. I’m certainly not afraid to roll up my sleeves and put in the time and effort to do the job of the mayor.”
Leclerc had served nine years as city coun-cillor from 2003 to 2011, but left munici-pal politics because she said she needed a break.
She returned to poli-tics last year to run in the provincial elections
as the provincial Lib-eral candidate for the Skeena riding and ran a close second against NDP candidate Robin Austin who was elected for a third term.
Leclerc says mu-nicipal politics have little to do with political party allegiance, though she acknowledges that some people might be-lieve that come voting time. “One of the things I liked about being on city council last time was the independence,” she said.
In a subsequent com-ment Bidgood said he supported both Leclerc and Austin in the 2013 provincial election.
“I choose my can-didates based upon their qualifications not always upon the party affiliation. I choose my friends the same way! That is why I could sup-port Robin and Carol in the past provincial elec-tion... they were both friends.
“I think everybody .... particularly munici-pal politicians... should put principles before partisan politics.”
Leclerc said that if elected she will seek a “refreshed look at how council does things”.
Leclerc also said that if elected as mayor she has no plans to leave the post and run again provincially in the next
provincial election which will be held May 2017. It takes place ap-proximately a year and a half before the next local government elec-tions in Nov. 2018.
“That’s not my in-tention at this time,” said Leclerc. “My com-mitment is to the city and that’s where my fo-cus should be.”
According to Leclerc, her connec-tions through her posi-tion as the Coast Moun-tains school district’s trades training coor-dinator and Northern Health Authority board member will provide a community-based ap-proach to governing.
She said her plat-form will be focused on big picture plan-ning, including looking at expanding the city’s boundaries.
“It will be a good conversation to have with the folks in Thorn-hill,” she said.
She added that a union between Terrace and Thornhill might not necessarily mean amal-gamation, and could instead be done through “joint planning.”
“We don’t want a downtown that’s weak, you want to have a great plan moving forward,” she added.
Leclerc also wants to concentrate on the re-development of former industrial lands located on Keith Ave., now the subject of a city-inspired concept plan just released for public comment.
Leclerc is finishing up a Masters in Profes-sional Communication at Royal Roads Univer-sity in Victoria. Once
she wraps that up in a few weeks she says the mayoral race is game on.
In the meantime, Bidgood has set up a mayoral campaign web-site.
He already has sev-eral endorsements on the site, including one from Thornhill re-gional district director Ted Ramsey. Bidgood, through his city council position, is chair of the Kitimat-Stikine region-al district.
A photos section of
the site contains pic-tures of Bidgood with David Suzuki, former interim federal Liberal party leader Bob Rae, current federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair and B.C. Senator Nancy Green Raine.
Bidgood and Leclerc aren’t the only candi-dates signalling their intentions for the fall.
Current city council-lors Stacey Tyers and James Cordeiro have both said they are run-ning again in the No-vember elections.

Company preps for mine start
AVANTI MINES PHOTO
AVANTI HEALTH and safety manager Twyla Rudd, right, goes over the ins and outs of safety procedures with employees at company’s Kitsault mine location.
WITH AVANTI MIN-ING in the final stages of lining up financing for its $1 billion planned molybdendum mine at Kitsault on the north coast in anticipation of a construction start next spring, the company has now started building up its data base on poten-tial suppliers, subcon-tractors and employees.
Specifically it’s fo-cussing for now on either Nisga’a-owned companies or com-panies with Nisga’a participation or joint ventures and Nisga’a residents.
Avanti has held three workshops this sum-mer – one in Vancouver for businesses and an employee workshop in Terrace and another one in Gitwinksihlkw in the Nass Valley.
Its collaborator in each workshop was Nisga’a Employment, Skills and Training (NEST), the employ-ment development arm of the Nisga’a Lisims Government.
The workshops may meet commitments made by Avanti when it received its provincial environmental clear-ance for its Kitsault project, but connecting with local entrepreneurs and hiring local is also simply good business, explains Peter Baird, a communications con-tractor with the com-pany.
“What we’re looking for is the best possible
fit for our needs and we want to have a strong local flavour,” he said.
Avanti plans a work-force of up to 500 peo-ple over the course of two years of construc-tion and a mine operat-
ing workforce thereaf-ter of 300 people.
Participants in the Vancouver businesses and contractors work-shop included 14 repre-sentatives from various companies and every-
one was walked through how Avanti will set up its tendering and pro-curement methods.
Those in attendance came from a variety of companies, includ-ing the joint venture of
Bear Creek Contracting of Terrace and Nisga’a-owned Hobiyee Man-agement.
The consulting firm of Merit Consultants outlined the basic in-formation needed as
companies first work their way through the prequalification stage to be a supplier or contrac-tor up to how tenders are handled and award-ed.
As a publicly-traded company, Avanti has to be fair and transparent in its dealing with com-panies and individuals, said Baird.
The company won’t be providing any kind of break to Nisga’a businesses or in the hir-ing of Nisga’a citizens, he added.
“But we have said we will look first at Nisga’a businesses or businesses that have Nisga’a partners or joint ventures,” said Baird.
One decision made by Avanti is to give 15 days advance notice to Nisga’a businesses of its tendering or procure-ment plans so that sub-mission preparations can be made.
“This will just let them know what’s com-ing down the pike,” said Baird.
He said the emphasis is not only on develop-ment local business tal-ent for construction but for the planned 18-year life of the mine.
Both Baird and Gary Patsey, the executive director of NEST, said they were pleased with the turnout of 54 people for the employee work-shop in Terrace and the 73 people who attended the one in Gitwinksi-hlkw.
‘We’re getting a lot of interest now that var-ious proponents have been coming up,” said Patsey of Nisga’a citi-zens interested in em-ployment.
The sessions NEST held with Avanti were the first of their kind for the employment agency.
As such, it’s giving NEST, which officially opened up late last year, the chance to develop a model of how to work with a company.
“It’s the first proj-ect with boots on the ground,” said Patsey of the mining project which is taking place within Nisga’a tradi-tional territory.
He said the role of NEST is to respond to the employee needs of companies and prepare individuals to meet those needs.
It starts with what Patsey called a shop-ping list of manpower needs submitted by a company.
“We’re demand-driven when it comes to skills development,” he said.
In the case of Avanti, Patsey said the planned 18 year life of the Kit-sault molybdenum mine comes close to the working life of a per-son.
“What we’re hearing from Avanti is that they have a corporate culture of having a safe place to work and that there will be room for advance-ment,” he said.
THE COMPANY which wants to build a molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast is closing in on the financing it needs for the project.
Avanti Mining has a broad agree-ment with six international lenders which it hopes will result in loans of (US)$612 million leading to a two-year construction schedule beginning next spring.
Avanti is projecting a total cost of (Canadian) $812 million and expects the rest will be made up of equity fi-nancing, finding partners and selling silver that’s also contained in the Kit-sault ore body. The agreement with the six lenders, one of which is the Canadian Export Development Bank, is contained in what’s called a man-date letter and the lenders are now ex-amining the project in detail.
“Final credit approval for the [fi-nancing] facility is expected in Sep-tember 2014,” said Avanti president Gordon Bogden in a release.
Each of the lenders is involved
based on sales of the mine’s ore or equipment being purchased for op-erations.
While the Canadian Export De-velopment Bank’s mandate is to as-sist companies in developing export productions, the Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation involvement will help finance Avanti’s purchase of Caterpillar-constructed equipment for the mine. The Korea Develop-ment Bank will lend money based on a sales agreement Avanti has to sell product to a South Korean steel firm.
The remaining three lenders, Eu-ropean UniCredit Bank AG, Japanese Mizuho Bank and European BNP Paribas are participating through a federal German loan guarantee made possible because of an agreement Avanti has to sell its product to the German firm of ThyssenKrupp.
“The Kitsault project moves sig-nificantly closer to a positive produc-tion decision,” because of the man-date letter, said Bogden.
A BLOCKADE by a group of Tahltan of a mine being built by Imperial Metals on Tahltan tradi-tional territory has been lifted.
Road access to the Red Chris copper and gold mine project is now open following a deal reached between Imperial and the Tahltan Cen-tral Council, the overall governing body of the Tahltan.
Imperial will pay for a review of the Red Chris tailings pond design conducted by a com-pany chosen by the Tahltan Central Council.
The blockade, mounted by a Tahltan group called the Klabona Keepers and others, went up Aug. 8 after worries were expressed about the Red Chris tailings pond after the pond at the Mount Polley mine in the Cariboo, also owned by Imperial, failed, pouring liquid into river sys-tems.
The Tahltan Central Council did not endorse the blockade but has been working to find a reso-lution.
The $631 million project, which is employ-ing Tahltan workers and Tahltan companies, is due to open the end of September. Construction is in the final stages as is a power line to the lo-cation.
In a release, Imperial said the review is “to confirm that world class standards have been incorporated in its design, engineering, con-struction and operation. The review will be con-ducted by an independent third party engineer-ing firm that has been selected by the Tahltan Central Council” and is to be finished Sept. 24.
“Imperial has agreed to address all material issues, if any, identified by the review in a timely manner and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Tahltan Central Council,” the release continues.
Rhoda Quock, who speaks for the Klabona Keepers, said the blockade was lifted after the group received a written copy of the agreement between Imperial and the central council which provided for an independent review.
And she said the Klabona Keepers are plan-ning to conduct their own review of the tailings pond design.
“It’s nothing against the [Tahltan Central Council] or anything,” Quock said of the deci-sion to perform a second review. “We’re going to work as a nation.”
“Our plan was not to shut down the mine per-manently, we just wanted it done in a safer way,” Quock added.

Nass bountyThe Nisga’a Fisheries program has helped a world-class salmon river thrive
By ANNA KILLEN
RICHARD ALEXANDER/ANNA KILLEN PHOTOS
CLOCKWISE FROM top: A daycare group checks out � shwheel number two from above; Ben Gonu Jr. passes off a netted Chinook to Chandra Barton so it can be tagged; tools of the trade; the crew collects scale samples which are sent to labs for further testing and age support; Ben Gonu Sr. captains the Sil Milit, sometimes ferrying visitors to the � shwheels; 2014 GW � shwheels crew, from left to right, Vern McKay, Errol Nyce, Chandra Barton, Kyle Azak, � sheries biologist Richard Alexander, and Tim Angus.
A LINE of young people and their sum-mer caregivers peer down at one of several Nass River � shwheels from an embankment above, hoping to catch a glimpse of a Chi-nook, Sockeye, Coho, or Steelhead on one of the wheel’s paddles. “They’re the future,” says Nisga’a hereditary chief and � sheries boat captain Ben Gonu Sr., grinning up at them. “Future workers.”
And he’s right. For nearly 23 years, the Nisga’a Fisheries Program has been qui-etly building up a reputation as one of the premier � sheries management and research programs in the Paci� c Northwest. In 2006, a report commissioned by the Sierra Club of Canada judged its stock assessment system to be one of the best of any salmon � shery in the world – and in the process, employing dozens of Nisga’a citizens and giving the nation more control over their river and the � sh who swim though and spawn in it.
Using traditional technology like � sh-wheels combined with modern methods like radio-telemetry and underwater video surveillance, the 30-plus-person team has worked with federal, provincial and Alaskan
� sheries of� cials and stakeholders to build up over 20 years of data – data which will prove to be critical as more industry looks to move into the area, potentially affecting waterways and � sh habitat in the Nass.
The $1.3 million program, paid for mainly through a trust established when the Nisga’a treaty was implemented in 2000 and supplemented by the Nisga’a Lisims Government and Fiscal Fisheries Finance Agreement, focusses the majority of its en-ergy on Upper Nass salmon with smaller projects assessing things like crab and eu-lachon stocks. Ensuring the Nisga’a entitle-ment, conservation, research, and Nisga’a stewardship in the � shery’s management are the program’s main objectives and while the small program is recognized for its good work, more money could widen the of� ce’s scope and allow them to do even more high tech studies, explains veteran � sheries bi-ologist Richard Alexander.
The treaty really helps with the conserva-tion side of things, he says, noting that in the end, it’s all about preserving the � sh for future generations.

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988
INSPECTOR Dana Hart, the of� -cer in charge of the Terrace RCMP detachment, says he was shocked, dismayed and disappointed when, upon assuming command here, he encountered reports of steroid use among his of� cers.
And rightly so. The resulting in-vestigation revealed that four of-� cers were implicated with three losing pay and one resigning under circumstances never fully explained.
That four of� cers, a not insigni� -cant total given the relatively small number who actually patrol the streets, felt compelled to either use or contemplate using steroids could very well reveal something deep-seated and disturbing in how some of� cers view their roles.
Aside from the legal, moral and ethical considerations involving of-� cer conduct, also disturbing is the length of time it took to resolve the matter – approximately two years.
That would seem to be an awfully long time when, in reading the sup-porting material behind the investi-gation, the accused of� cers agreed to the essential facts of what occurred.
And while it goes without saying that accused of� cers have rights and those rights need to be protected, hav-ing a disciplinary process that takes this long ties up police resources and personnel better devoted to catching bad guys.
A cumbersome bureaucracy does the RCMP – and its of� cers – no fa-vours and, in the end, erodes public con� dence.

EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, September 3, 2014 Terrace Standard
Mere weeks be-fore his term of of� ce expires, Lakelse Lake’s
Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine’s Area C director, Doug McLeod, has resigned in frustration. He feels unable to serve his constituents as he promised when he stood for election, thanks to a wall of opposition to his motions.
His top complaint is the secrecy maintained around so many topics dealt with in-camera. Board secrecy has become so pervasive public meetings are censored until they cannot happen. A media report of the board’s August 8, 2014 meeting highlights how the board’s excessive in-camera secrecy hobbles its deliberations: “Non public information muddles RDKS motion on MK Bay Marina” reads the headline.
Seeking more public in-put before the board decides whether to sell the marina or continue owning it, McLeod moved that a referendum be held. He noted while the public owns the facility, all debate has been going on be-hind the scenes, including a study paid for by taxpayers.
His motion ran aground when so many key words had to be avoided so as to
maintain in-camera secrecy. Picture Mom and Dad trying to plan a Santa visit while in-nocent little ears tune in.
“Later in the meeting, Director Phil Germuth put forward a notice of motion that the people of Kitimat be consulted on the future of the marina. However, the board thought this relevant information could not be pre-sented to the public because of it’s in-camera nature.”
The board could freely discuss the marina’s future – and other sensitive topics – if it shared more in-camera de-tails with the public after the need for secrecy had passed.
Quoting the Ombudsper-son’s Best Practices Act for
Local Governments 2012, “Many subjects requiring
the con� dentiality of a closed meeting only require it for a limited period of time. Infor-mation that would no longer undermine the reason for dis-cussing it in a closed meeting should be released as soon as practicable.
“If it is not appropriate to release all information related to a closed meeting, it may be preferable to re-lease incomplete informa-tion rather than to wait for a time when it will eventually be proper to release all the information. Local govern-ments should strive to release as much information as pos-sible as often as possible, in order to demonstrate their commitment to the principles of transparency and account-ability and to receive the bene� t of a more informed, engaged and trusting public.”
The RDKS feels above any need for public input. They make no effort to in-form or engage the public. Not until they’ve decided on their course of action do they ask for our input. Chances are we never receive word of survey results.
“We’ve yet to learn the re-sults of the Thornhill Active Transportation Plan survey
reported June 18, accepted by the board and referred to staff for use as a guide to ac-tive transportation planning within Thornhill, its policy directions and recommen-dations to be considered for implementation.” So say meeting minutes.
The RDKS skirts this sec-tion of the guide. Meeting minutes tell us only if mo-tions were Carried or De-feated. Subjects discussed in-camera are referred to by number-letter combinations which tell us only if the topic was land, personnel, or some other legal topic. And media coverage of board meetings is as rare as a super moon.
Our news from RDKS meetings is more apt to come from chance chats with an elected representative.
This resignation, signi-fying as it does dissatisfac-tion with the way the RDKS board and administration conducts the public’s busi-ness, will only make the search for an elected slate that much more uncertain come November.
Finding anyone willing to stand for election is always tough. To � nd someone qual-i� ed, eager, and in favour of democracy and transparency is a taller order.
Why the secrecy in the regional district?

If this area grows, let’s do it the smart way
Terrace Standard Wednesday, September 3, 2014 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7
O ur expansion of the human enterprise, both globally and lo-cally, is bumping into
its limits. Resources are becom-ing increasingly scarce and ex-pensive. Energy and minerals, harvestable resources, water and land are consistently under pres-sure.
Our limited ecological foot-print allowed us plenty of leeway in the past of how we treated the nature around us, which seemed limitless in its ability to absorb our destruction and waste. In our own region, even as recently as a little more than half a century ago, it was not uncommon to dis-card old automobiles or industrial equipment over a cliff or into a river. Today such practices would be unthinkable.
The world has become signifi-cantly more crowded now. The planet is adding the population equivalent of a new Germany every two years. This popula-tion growth is reflected locally in predictions that the population of the Greater Terrace Area could
increase by anywhere from about 33 per cent to 50 per cent within seven years.
Humans’ living cheek-by-jowl requires considerably more judg-ment, accommodation and com-promise than the careless habits of previous centuries.
Urbanization and so-called “development” are the processes by which we take a landscape and engineer (or re-engineer) it to serve a human purpose. These processes have ingeniously en-hanced our living arrangements. But our human expansion is en-ergetically crowding out many of the other species that we may soon discover are essential to our own survival.
Engineered landscapes tend to be simplified and scaled to human use, eliminating incon-venient features, be they mobile threats (like dangerous animals) or fixed obstacles (like forests or marshland).
Such simplification creates certain human efficiencies (e.g. straight-line streets), but in doing so often destroys natural values
that may be less obvious at first glance.
Biology and ecology are com-plex and messy. Dismissing some insect because it bites or serves as the vector for disease, and confi-dently wiping it out, might over-look some necessary role it plays in a biological web somewhere.
Only after moving in did I discover that my house sits on a filled-in wetland! Destroying a
wetland for other purposes may be convenient, but it may also damage overlooked values such as drainage control or wildlife habitat.
A recent issue of this paper featured a front-page story re-garding redevelopment of the industrial lands along Keith Ave-nue, the old mill properties. How well will we accomplish this?
In response to projected growth needs in future housing, in March 2014 the City of Terrace published a study providing rec-ommendations regarding housing development in the community. It is a fine piece of work. How-ever, only one reference I could find addresses sustainability, rec-ommending the city “promote sustainability in land use . . . and energy efficiency in existing and new housing stock.” We can go further, to considerable benefit.
The University of Texas at Austin, the US Botanic Gar-den, and the American Society of Landscape Architects have combined to create a Sustain-able Sites Initiative (SSI), “a pi-
lot program to create guidelines and performance benchmarks for sustainable land design that can be applied on a site-by-site basis worldwide.” (www.sustainable-sites.org)
Planners analyze the initial site proposed for development for its agricultural uses, flood-plain functions, aquatic ecosys-tems, and threatened or endan-gered species. Plans are designed to manage water flows and uses, conserve and improve soils (in-cluding native plant communi-ties), carefully control material cycles (both those extracted for use and those generated through crops or fabricated into struc-tures), protect cultural and his-toric places, provide for efficien-cies in fuel use and on-site food production.
Terrace seems to be working hard to manage planning issues. The SSI processes are principles we might include in our local decisions to build on the recom-mendations of the city report.

NDP leader wrong on tankersDear Sir:
Federal NDP Leader Thom-as Mulcair recently told North-ern residents that he’s “cat-egorically opposed” to tankers in the Douglas Channel (“Mul-cair visits northwestern B.C.”, August 18, 2014).
In the ongoing debate about tanker traffic in B.C., it’s im-portant that the public knows
the facts.First, the Douglas Channel
is one the widest and deepest waterways on the West Coast-- three times wider at its nar-rowest point than Transport Canada’s recommended width for tanker traffic.
As the BC Chamber of Shipping notes, oil tankers regularly traverse the Bospho-
rus Strait, one of the world’s busiest shipping routes.
The Bosphorus Strait is 698 meters across at its narrowest point compared to 1,575 me-ters for the Douglas Channel.
Second, for generations, the Douglas Channel has operated as a busy shipping lane.
B.C. has some of the tough-est regulations for shipping
in our waters and in this case of Northern Gateway, those regulations will be met or ex-ceeded.
Third, only licensed B.C. coast pilots will guide tank-ers and two tugs - one of them tethered - will escort every laden tanker.

Dear Sir:As a resident hunter, a conservationist and a lo-
cal resident of Dease Lake I wanted to gain a better understanding to the Tahltan First Nation’s con-cerns and reasoning behind the blockade on Hwy 51, Telegraph Creek Road.
To my greatest disappointment I was met with hostility and complete disregard for what I had come to discuss.
I merely wanted to inquire into who was being restricted, why and what the Tahltan Nation wished to have result from the blockade. Are we not tech-nically on the same page? Looking after our wild-life for our future generations and passing on tradi-tions?
Apparently I was greatly mistaken and as Terri Brown the current Tahltan Band chief would state, it’s “you people” that are causing the moose popu-lation to decline.
This comment, paired with the statement that my son would not be able to learn to hunt like I did, was very bothersome.
I may not be First Nations but we have tradi-tions, too. I grew up hunting to fill our freezer for the winter and am a better person, wildlife and na-ture conservationist because of it.
I appreciate where I live and where my food comes from. I wish to pass these ethics and respects for nature on to my son.
Hunting has been around for centuries. Records dating back tens of thousands of years depicting humans in the act of hunting. Hunting is not only important in the native traditions and history, it played a large part in the survival of the early Euro-peans in North America and critical to the survival of the early settlers.

InternatIonal lIteracy Day, September 8, focuses attention on worldwide literacy needs.
More than 780 million of the world’s adults do not know how to read or write.
Try this Literacy Terrace quiz. Circle the correct word in each sentence. • I was out and missed/mist your telephone call. • She used whole wheat flower/flour to bake her cake. • The race is from here to their/there/they’re. • The thief wanted to steel/steal the sports car. • Are those your/you’re shoes? • They cooked a thick steak/stake on the barbeque.
Did you pass? In Canada 40% of the adult population may not be able to pass this quiz and they would NOT have the reading and writing skills needed to keep pace with the escalating demands of our society and economy.
Please help. Become a VolUnteer tutor. Literacy and English-as-a-Second Language learners are urgently waiting for tutors. You would be given free training (3 hours a week over 7 weeks). Tutors must be over 19 years old, pass a criminal record check and would need to commit to 2-3 hours of tutoring and preparation time each week.

MaryAnn Freeman,Terrace, B.C.
To this day hunting continues to provide families with a signifi-cant portion of food re-quirements. My family is one of these.
A few statistics. Tahltans, are you aware that only approximately 50 per cent of the hunt-ers that arrive in Region 6 during moose season are actually successful?
Records indicate from hunter samples and compulsory inspec-tion data in MU 6-21 and 6-22 indicate that between 2010 and 2012 out of 417 hunters only 150 moose were shot.
However, every one of these hunters pur-chases a licence, tags, paid thousands to be here not including the equipment they require to hunt such as guns, trucks, quads or boats and the gear to camp with. They pay taxes on every piece of this. Not to mention the funds we pay into our licences and tags go back into
conservation programs.“Hunters in Canada
pay to the government, on average, almost $70 million per year in hunt-ing licences and fees. This equates to what the provinces spend to manage their wildlife populations. For most of this century, hunters in Canada have fund-ed provincial wildlife management programs.
In 1998/99, due to years of government cutbacks, revenue from hunting licence fees was more than 110 per cent of BC’s wildlife management programs.
The contribution of Canadian hunters to wildlife does not end with the fees they pay for their hunting li-cences. Expenditures on hunting trips inject badly needed cash into the Canadian economy and particularly into the economy of small rural communities.
In addition, and pos-sibly most importantly,
Canadian hunters and anglers volunteer their time and donate their own money to conserve vital wildlife habitat, to raise and release salm-on and other fish spe-cies into our rivers and to conduct vital wild-life research. Resident hunters spend another $1 billion on trips to view wildlife outside of hunting season and contributions to habitat restoration. While gov-ernment has continually cut back on programs and services, hunters and anglers continue to pick up the slack.”
These are the words from writer Gary Maus-er.
So what am I trying to say? “Us people” – the resident hunt-ers – are the ones that are helping manage the wildlife for my genera-tions and yours to enjoy. Yes, we hunt wildlife, but we also protect and conserve them.
I would ask the Tahl-
tan Nation where are their statistics? How many moose are har-vested by the Tahltan in a year and what ef-forts are they making to ensure programs are in place to sustain our wildlife populations?
Instead of blocking accesses and denying us the traditions we wish to carry on, become part of the solution.

Dear Sir:Recently I was on the receiv-
ing end of a scam email letter – the sender claiming to be Bob Erb, the multimillion dollar lottery winner from Terrace, B.C. – offering to send me an endowment of cash.
The scammers were slick, in-cluding links to television news seg-ments of actual interviews with the esteemed Mr. Erb.
And I admit I was momentarily hypnotized by the idea, the thought, that perhaps this was real, perhaps there really was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. When your health is failing you and there is no hope of relief - sometimes all you have is wishing, that some miracu-lous intervention . . . like winning
the lottery, would occur.But then again, I’m an educated
woman, and looking at the email ad-dress of the sender; bob.erb@yale.edu & bob.erb@rogers.com spoke volumes. After all, one can’t pic-ture Mr. Erb attending Yale let alone leaving his home in Canada which it is obvious he holds dear to his heart.
In the spirit of Mr. Erb’s nature, I felt compelled to contact you - the local paper, to inform you that Mr. Erb’s good name is being used to scam people on the internet.
Perhaps there is something that can be done to protect him from fallout from these scammers. Thank you.

4-H prepares for fall fairBy CAITLIN CLOW
THE 99-YEAR-OLD Cana-dian organization 4-H wel-comes youths between the ages of eight and 21, and this fall Terrace’s members will be showcasing their chickens and rabbits at the Skeena Fall Fair on Septem-ber 7.
The animal parade is one of the beloved events that takes place at the fair and this year will be no excep-tion, said volunteer Yvette Favron.
“Last year was the � rst year the fashion show was at the fair and it was a big hit,” said Favron.
“Anyone with an animal can dress them up and bring them in the parade...it’s very cute.”
Participants will create custom made costumes for their critters to � aunt in the fashion show.
The animals will be judged by 4-H members which will allow the youth to explore what it means to make a critical decision, ex-plained Favron.
Last year’s most notable chicken was dressed up as a storm trooper, said Favron.
The 4-H Club provides youth with hands-on oppor-tunities to learn how to be-come more productive, or-ganized, self-assured adults which will guide them to become better leaders of their communities.
The idea behind the rear-ing of poultry and bunnies
is an example of how hands-on this club is.
These youths raise a crit-ter that they hope can pass their peer’s judgment to become the prize pet at the fair.
Throughout this experi-ence, Favron explained, the students learn about animal husbandry, compassion and organization.
“We try to make it a fun time and a family time,” Fa-vron said, “and hopefully they make it a learning ex-perience as well.”
This year, the fall fair is a one-day event and 4-H members are going to be volunteering their time to help with setup and take-down.
They will be camping out on the fair grounds so they can start with cleanup bright and early.
After their pancake breakfast, of course.
Favron said that 4-H is always looking for new members and new leaders that have skills to offer to the youth.
“Anything you can think of that is a skill can be turned into a 4-H project,” Favron said, “cooking, sew-ing motor and mechanics; all of it can be turned into a learning opportunity.”
On September 7, the 4-H Club will be hosting four events, including a bike achievement, an open bike obstacle course, a rabbit achievement and a poultry achievement.

KSAN HOUSE Society and Rotary Club of Terrace members start building a cob oven outside Ksan Place Aug. 23. Here the work crew spots a spider on top of the newly begun creation.
Cob oven cobbled at KsanWITH A grant from Skeena Valley Rotary Club, Ksan Place has been building a cob oven this summer as a creative addition to its community garden space.
Some materials used will be clay, sand, brick and tiles.
Members from the Skeena Valley Rota-ry Club helped out and everyone involved has been mixing and mucking about, building the outdoor bake oven over a
course of two or three weekends.A cob oven is a very basic cooking
technology created using a mixture of soil and clay, stones.
According to organizers, the cob oven is another addition to what is turning into a community food centre at the Ksan veg-etable garden.
The concept is to create a welcom-ing space where people come together to
grow, cook, share and advocate for good food.
The goal of these centres is to build a foundation of health, skills and commu-nity.
Ksan has been building out its garden, located behind the shelter on Hall St. in the South Side.
Projects such as the cob oven and seed sharing happen regularly.
CorrectionON THE community front page of the Aug. 27 Ter-race Standard, the name of the person in the photo titled ‘Top Readers’ was incorrect.
It is, in fact, Olivia Faetz, who is a teen volunteer for the public library.

Bid to oppose emissions renewedBy JOSH MASSEY
THE ATTEMPT by two Terrace land owners to oppose an increase in the amount of sulphur dioxide that will be pro-duced from Rio Tinto Alcan’s refurbished Kitimat aluminum smelter is headed to the BC Supreme Court for a second time.
Charles Claus and Lynda Gagné both have asthma and say the pros-pects of having more sulphur dioxide coming out of the smelter poses a health risk.
Both also have inter-ests in the Terrace agri-cultural sector and fear for their future crops in increased acid rain.
Rio Tinto Alcan’s $4.8 billion Kitimat modernization proj-ect will increase the amount of aluminum being produced and with it, the amount of sulphur dioxide.
Although the com-pany is reducing emis-
sions in other air pol-lutant categories by 50 per cent, the amount of sulphur dioxide is to in-crease from 27 tonnes per day to 42 tonnes per day when the mod-ernization project is fin-ished.
Last October, the provincial Environmen-tal Appeal Board ruled that Claus and Gagné didn’t qualify to partici-pate in a hearing with two people from Kiti-mat to oppose the pro-vincial government’s amending a permit to allow the increase.
Claus is a local farmer who sells pro-duce at the Skeena Val-ley Farmers Market and also owns the Baker Extraordinaire. Gagné, though living in Vic-toria currently, owns property in Terrace and plans to return here to pursue agricultural projects.
The two want Al-can to instead install scrubbers which, using
seawater, would col-lect and neutralize the sulphur dioxide before having it deposited into the Douglas Channel.
The appeal board ruled that Claus and Gagne are outside the main area that would be affected by emissions.
The board also de-nied the SkeenaWild Conservation Trust and the Lakelse Watershed Stewardship Society standing because they were not individuals. They’ve since given up their attempt to appear at the hearing.
Ultimately the ap-peal board is allowing only the two Kitimat residents, Lis Stannus and Emily Toews, to appear at the hearing which is scheduled for next month.
Claus and Gagné still believe the emis-sions will affect their breathing as well as ag-riculture in the Terrace area.
Their first BC Su-
preme Court appear-ance resulted in the court recommending the appeal board relax its definition of who could appear at a hear-ing.
The board, however, again denied their re-quest, saying the im-pacts as set out by Claus and Gagné were “spec-ulative.”
Now the pair has filed another demand through the BC Su-preme Court.
Alcan had earlier op-posed having Claus and Gagné appear at the ap-peal board hearing.
The West Coast En-vironmental Law group is helping to finance this new court challenge as is the SkeenaWild Conservation Trust and the Lakelse Watershed Stewardship Society.
“We are facing in-creased sulphur dioxide in our air, our lungs, our forests, our water, our gardens, our local farms, and our food”
said Gagné. “It is non-sensical for Alcan and the [appeal board] to say we don’t have stand-ing to challenge the ap-peal, especially after the company included Terrace residents in its community consulta-tions over the emissions increase.”
The appeal board hearing at which the two individuals from
Kitimat are to appear is set to begin Oct. 6 in Kitimat and to take sev-eral weeks.
One of the lawyers representing Gagné and Claus, Jason Gratl, wants to speed up the BC Supreme Court hearing.
“Claus and Gagné are prepared to expedite the judicial review so as not to undermine the
timetable of the envi-ronmental appeal board hearing,” he said.
Rio Tinto officials have said the company did consider collecting sulphur dioxide with technology that would use seawater but that it doubted people would accept having it then released back into the ocean, while others ar-gued this poses no risk.
THE NEW fenced off area on Skeena Middle School’s ground is no longer a mystery – it’s the future home of an air quality monitoring system and it will be there for a few decades.
With the compound now ready to be used, the device to measure air quality is being calibrated in Vancouver and should be installed within weeks, explains Barry Watson, who studies air quality and who is a meteorologist with the provincial gov-ernment.
The school ground is the best location, Wat-son explained, because it will be a good repre-sentation of the air in the area.
“It’s representative of the local popula-tion and located near a sensitive population — kids,” Watson said noting that the field also satisfies the meteoro-logical side of things because it won’t be af-fected by local features like tall trees and build-ings.
The previous site in Terrace was on the provincial government building located beside the provincial liquor store but the data was compromised because the building’s heat and ventilation systems contain sulphur dioxide
or nitrous oxide which contaminated the air samples, Watson ex-plained.
The monitoring system will collect air through vanes and ana-lyze the particulates in order to establish a baseline of air quality in residential Terrace.
“It will also measure wood burnings and dust as well,” said Watson.
“We want to es-tablish a baseline and we’re aware that indus-trial development will require discharge into
the atmosphere with air pollutants and we need to measure what’s there now previous to devel-opment,” Watson said, adding this baseline will be used to ensure that air quality stays within specifications set by the province.
The price tag for the technology runs around $150,000, but the in-formation it provides can be useful to ensure that industrial compa-nies stay within their target air pollutants and the data has to be
strong enough to stand up in court if industry attempts to contradict findings, explained Watson.
The nearest monitor-ing site to this one is in Smithers.
The installation fol-lows on the release of a provincial study ear-lier this year indicating large scale industrial development, includ-ing liquefied natural gas plants, can take place in Kitimat without an un-due impact on air qual-ity in the region.

THE SKEENA Valley Fall Fair is a testament to the ongoing — if oc-casionally interrupted — interest in gardening in the Terrace area. Be-ginning in approximate-ly 1915, according to historian Floyd Frank, Terrace had a fall fair in which “gardeners were able to fill the largest hall in town with a won-derful display of fruits and vegetables.”
The story of the fall fair is one of fits and starts: though early set-tlers proudly displayed the fruits of their home-steads, the fair went by the wayside in the early 1930s. Held in the Great War Veterans’ Association Hall – now Urban Colour – through the 1920s, the fair was an important recogni-tion of gardening and baking prowess.
Terrace residents, often devoid of formal entertainment, bonded over the competition for the sweetest baking, the largest home-grown vegetables, and the tastiest jellies. Farmers brought livestock to be weighed, and women – and, apparently, a few men – presented their ‘home handicrafts’ and flowers to be judged. “In my memory,” re-called Freda Hall Mal-lory, “the affair seemed larger than life.”
In the very early days of the fair, the “hotly contested” prize for the best half-bushel of potatoes was a box of stumping powder, an explosive used to clear land for cultivation. For many, winning a prize
or a ribbon at the fair was a validation of the efforts made to improve pre-emptions.
The fading of the fair in the ‘30s was certainly not because of a lack of prize-winning fruits and vegetables. There are numerous stories of Terrace residents get-ting through the Great Depression by living out of their gardens. More likely, the larger economic concerns of the Depression made the donation of prizes more trying.
It was not until after the chaotic years of the Second World War that the fall fair tradition was again revived.
In the early 1950s, the fair was conceived of as a way to both “en-courage hobbies, and draw the attention of surrounding townships towards Terrace,” Max-ine Brandis remembers.
Through the 1950s, the fair was held in the Civic Centre, a Quonset-style building in what is now George Little Park (then known as Little’s Park).
At this point, recent immigrants, including
Brandis, were invited to host small pavilions showcasing their home countries. The Aiyansh Native Brass Band, listed as “sensational” in the 1953 fall fair pro-gram, marched in an accompanying parade. The best candy made by a child (13 and under) won a budgie, a prize sponsored by the local pet store.
The fair seems to have paused again in the 1950s and 1960s, but was resumed in the 1970s.
The fall fair contin-ued, with interruptions of a few years here and a decade or two there, into the new millen-nium. Most recently dormant from 2006 to 2011, it has – in keeping with tradition – been revived by a group of keen volunteers.
The tradition of host-ing a fall fair to show-case local produce and thereby reflect commu-nity identity is a long-standing, though fre-quently interrupted, one in Terrace.

Cool back to college cars for under $15,000While some lucky students may have received new cars as high school graduation gifts, the odds are most will have scrimped and saved from part-time to buy that first set of wheels.Whatever the financial circumstances, young buyers will surely share the desire for a car that is economical to operate. Here are five picks available in Canada for under $15,000 – all prices quoted exclude taxes and delivery charges.
B Nissan Micra: $9,998The Micra is back after a 21-year absence and it’s a more than welcome return. It has a European style, boast-ing 60/40 split rear seats and back seat heating ducts as standard fare.A 1.6-litre DOHC 4-cylinder engine matched to either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automat-ic transmission powers it and the estimated fuel economy is 8.6/6.6 L/100km (city/highway).
C Chevy Spark: $11,945The Chevy Spark is cute as a bug. Its list of standard safety features, which includes 10 air bags, helped make it an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick for 2014.
Extra dollars bring techy additions that transform it into a Wi-Fi hotspot and enable the downloading of useful in-car apps to aid navigation. An Ecotec 1.2-litre, four-cylinder engine, mated to a five-speed tranny, pro-vides the Spark! Sips gas at 6.4/5.7 L/100kms (city/hwy).
D Toyota Yaris Hatchback: $14,255At the time of writing, only the 2014 version is available but the new look 2015 is on its way, so look for deals on the outgoing car. The proven 1.5-litre engine and five-speed manual transmission remain – currently offering a fuel economy of 6.7/5.5 L/100kms (city/hwy) – and pricing will likely be similar with added features. Power windows and a 6.1” display audio multimedia system with USB audio input and Bluetooth
capability will be standard.
E Ford Fiesta: $14,394Shop around because I’ve seen discounted base models recently for the sedan and hatchback ver-sions recently.Ford is about connectivity and few extra dollars will add desirable tech features to the info/audio
system, which already includes a USB port. The base engine is a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine or the new three-cylinder 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine is an op-tion. Both are gas-miserly: 7/5 L/100kms (city/hwy) for the 1.6, 6.2/4.3 for the three-banger.
F Honda Fit: $14,635The very reliable Fit has been redesigned for 2015 and now include Bluetooth connectivity and a rear-view camera as standard equipment. It also gets a boost in power with a new 1.5-litre engine, matched to a 5-speed manual shift that pumps fuel at the rate of 7.1/6.5 L/100km (city/hwy).

■ Support soughtAS NEGOTIATORS for the school districts and BC Teachers Federation met with media-tor Vince Ready on Aug. 28 in the latest attempt to settle on a contract, local teachers gathered at the Sande Overpass to hold signs and wave to motorists. Holding this sign are Skeena Middle School teachers Michael Bruce and Tryg Sort.
A WOMAN will pay back thousands of dol-lars she defrauded the local school district out of over a period of six months.
Cerrina Monika Drawert, 44, was or-dered to pay back $8,949.39 to the Coast Mountains School Dis-trict 82 after pleading guilty to a charge of fraud over $5,000 in court Aug. 27.
The offence took place between Septem-ber 1, 2012 and Febru-ary 26, 2013.
She will spend five months in jail and three years on probation with conditions that include not going to any school district building unless she has written permis-sion from her proba-tion supervisor, not to
possess financial docu-ments of any people or entities or conduct financial transactions with people unless they are provided with a
copy of the court order.Drawert was also
ordered to provide a DNA sample. A charge of theft over $5,000 was stayed by the court.
CREWS SPENT the early part of last week mopping up a wildfire that had grown to more than 40 hectares east of Terrace on the north side of the Copper Riv-er area.
It was first reported on Aug. 22 and was es-timated to be 20 hect-ares the following day.
By Aug. 23-24, the provincial fire centre for the area located in Smithers had 25 fire-
fighters at the location.They were assisted
by a helicopter.A spell of hot weath-
er and no moisture had raised the wildfire alert in the region with a ban on open campfires be-
ing imposed in mid Au-gust.
But cooler weather resulted in the ban be-ing lifted the middle of last week.
Overall, provincial forestry officials are
saying this summer’s wildfire season will go down as one of the most destructive on record in B.C. As of late last week, fires had burned up more than 330,000 hectares.

MACKENZIE WALKER executes a layup at the annual Northern Hoops basketball camp held at Caledonia Secondary School August 25-27.
Northern Hoops gets kids into game
Race expectations running high, fast
Young athletes work out with hockey idols
FOR 12-YEAR-OLD Mackenzie Walker, the Northern Hoops basketball camp was all about learning new skills, but more impor-tantly having fun while doing so.
“I’ve done it since I was in Grade 3, this is my fourth year,” says Walker. “I keep coming back because it’s fun and my auntie is a coach.”
This is the sixth year that the camp has been put on in Terrace, organized by Lo-ralyn Murdoch from Prince George. This year’s camp had 59 kids enrolled.
As the former UNBC women’s basket-ball coach of 15 years, Murdoch’s goal was to introduce the sport to smaller communi-ties like Terrace.
“The intention is to get back ball into the smaller communities, doing some skills and drills and making it as fun as possible. When they get a bit older it’s a bit more demanding and then by the evening group we’re running it a bit like a practice,” she said.
The night session is in fact a designed to help players prepare for playing ball on their school teams, she said.
Murdoch is now the athletics director for UNBC, and says that the Terrace camp con-tinues to be a success.
“Right now we are practising layups and ball-handling and we get to play fun games,”said Walker.
“It’s my favourite sport. I just find it fun I guess. I learn a lot of new things. I’ve learned how to do a real layup. Before I thought layups were just shooting but I learned there is more to it like taking steps before you shoot.”
The camp, which happened August 25-27, had an entry cost of $75 for younger kids and $65 for the night sessions which are a bit shorter.
“It’s a really great group,” said Murdoch.The days are divided into three sections
with three to six-year-olds in the morning, seven to 10-year-olds in the afternoon and then an elite camp for ages nine to 12 in the evenings.
Helping facilitate the program were sev-eral older Terrace players including Marcus Mackay who currently plays for the UNBC Timberwolves, as well as Tristan Walker and Gavin Anderson from Caledonia Sec-ondary School.
For the younger kids, it’s more about get-ting them interested.
“We want to introduce basketball as young as we can,” said Murdoch.
A COUPLE of young karate-kickboxing kids held their own at a boot camp with older karate-kickboxing athletes and sev-eral River Kings players.
Shawn, 7, and Farren, 9, Devcic worked out with Terrace River Kings Derek Jurista, Cameron Kerr and Jeremy Vandenbroek at a recent five-week-long boot camp put on by Amber Pipe and Ra-jan Sangha of Shogun Dojo where the kids normally train.
All of the young people at Shogun, ex-cept for a couple who couldn’t make it, joined in on the boot camp for some ex-tra training before they headed off to the world martial arts games this week.
Shawn, who’s a green belt, and Farren, who has a blue belt, were very dedicated, and they, plus a couple of older boys, were the only ones to come to the entire boot camp, said Sangha. “They didn’t miss a class. They were going up the hills with us, running at Parkside and all the rest of it,” he said about how the two young boys did everything their older counterparts did.
The River Kings players were there for some extra pre-season training.
The boys would train alongside the hockey players, such as pairing up with
a player when the boot camp went to the dojo and did a circuit of 20 stations.
And the hockey players enjoyed work-ing out with the kids, added Sangha, say-ing it shows how they feel about kids in the community. “They usually work out with friends and the fact that they would grab one kid and say ‘hey let’s go,’ was really cool,” he said about the workouts.
And the boys had a blast too.“They loved it. They look up to the
River Kings quite a bit,” said Sangha. Shawn and Farren didn’t miss a karate class and in the last three weeks instead of working out from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. twice a week, they were showing up at 5 p.m. and training three or four days a week, said Sangha.
“They’ve come a long way in the last three weeks,” he added.
At the world competition in Richmond this weekend, the two boys and the rest of Shogun Dojo will go up against competi-tors with similar skill levels and ages.
“I think they’re going to do awesome,” said Sangha. The Association for Inter-national Sport for All (TAFISA) World Martial Arts Games starts today through Sept. 7 at the Olympic Oval in Rich-mond, B.C.
TWO YEARS ago, it was Judd Rowse from Prince Ru-pert in first place and Chris Hampton of Terrace in sec-ond.
Last year Hampton placed first and Rowse was second.
This year, King of the Mountain race organizer Troy Butler says he’s heard both have been training hard, leading to what he ex-pects to be another exciting finish in the men’s 40-plus category for the annual race up and down Terrace Moun-tain which this year happens Sept. 7.
“And last year they both came in at just under 49 minutes. I don’t think it was much more than 10 seconds separating them,” said But-ler of the times posted by Hampton and Rowse.
Dave Percy of Smith-ers placed third the last two years, leaving Butler to won-der if this year he’s got his eye on both Hampton and Rowse.
And he’s anticipating an-other strong finish from last year’s top female competitor,
Tara Irwin.The kind of competition
experienced the past few years has cemented the King of the Mountain as a regional athletic favourite over the 37 years it’s been held.
Butler and his wife Nad-ene have been the race’s prime organizers the past three years and have in-creased the turnout of com-petitors beyond the 75 aver-age.
“When there was the Ad-venture Challenge, in those years we saw a lot of people turn out,” said Butler.
Now, with three years of experience under their belts, the Butlers hope to close in on the 100 competitor mark.
“Last year we even had people from Germany com-pete,” said Butler.
The course has shifted from the original track which was up and down the Terrace Mountain hiking trail.
It was not only rigorous but when a foot race is held on a hiking trail, the result is a fair share of bruises, bumps and scrapes.
The course now takes in the newly-completed moun-tain bike trail.
“It’s a little bit more run-ner friendly, using the moun-tain bike trail,” explains But-ler.
As well, the course is now longer – 10 kilometres compared to 8 kilometres on the hiking trail – with the start and finish being at the sportsplex.
Butler said Terrace Search and Rescue team members will be on duty at the race start and at a tricky section of the trail.
“They’ve been really good and we appreciate them volunteering,” he said.
Participants can register beforehand at All Seasons Source for Sports and orga-nizers will be well set up at the sportsplex by 9 a.m. Sept. 7 leading to a 10 a.m. start.
Butler said a start at that time of the day means racers won’t face the heat later on if it’s a warm day.
Extra proceeds this year are going to the Northern Animal Rescue Alliance.

Sports Scope
The river was cloudy and grey, which was good as far as I was concerned because there would be fewer fishers on the river.
Most flyfishers distrust and dis-like turbid water because they believe they won’t catch fish in it. This is a popular misconception that fails to appreciate the visual acuity of fish. At the risk of putting a few more fishers on the river, I can assure those that hold this view that fine fishing can be had even when the water is almost opaque. I base this claim on more than a few incidents I have experienced over the last four decades.
One of those was particularly illustra-tive. It was on an evening that I raced up the Zymoetz after a long work day and an early dinner hoping to fish a couple of runs before dark. It was a Monday. I recall this without having to consult my fishing diaries because I vividly remember the Sunday before it, an extraordinary out-ing when 14 steelhead came to my fly in low clear water. What made that afternoon even more surprising was that the fly they couldn’t ignore was a drab little nymph.
The design of steelhead flies owes much to the Atlantic Salmon fly dressings of yes-teryear. The dressings used by the steel-head fly anglers during the 20th Century looked like sparse versions of the gaudy classic salmon dressings of the Old World. They were built on large irons. The flies of
this century are domi-nated by even larger lures; long tube flies and even longer Intruders (a giant step backwards in fly design and fish con-servation, but that is the subject for another col-umn).
I’d tied my caddis nymph on a number 10 hook with a short shank. It was the length of the nail on my baby finger. I made four wraps of fine gold wire through the creature’s body of olive brown seal fur to ap-proximate the segmen-tation of the natural and to create the illusion of the silvery bubble of water that caddis pu-pae cling to on their perilous journey from the stream bed to the surface film. I added two fibres from a bronze mallard feather to simulate the long antennae of the bug, and a few partridge fibres to approximate dangling legs. Next I wound black ostrich behind the hook’s eye to suggest the hairy head of a caddis nymph. Ultimately there was nothing at all of the flash and fluores-cence of the standard steelhead flies.
It’s much more pleasurable to cast small flies and it’s more rewarding to fool a steel-
head with a fly crafted to resemble something it ate as a juvenile. The Sunday afternoon suc-cess of my nymph sug-gested that subduing steelhead with trout tactics was not only a distinct possibility but possibly even more ef-fective than swinging larger flies down and across rivers. Duplicat-ing the feat would be a step toward proving it was no fluke, hence my eagerness to do so the next day.
When I reached the Road Run above the Clore, it was still raining
like it had been all day. Tom Protheroe was standing in the tail of the run. I’d met him in town at noon. He’d told me he’d planned to fish the river with a floating line and a surface fly later in the day.
Tom called up to me as I pulled on my waders to tell me he’d switched to a sink-ing line and a heavy fly because of the dirty water. Water carrying particulate matter al-ways looks more opaque than it is when you look down on it from a height, as I was. But, Tom was correct, the rain had added a lot of colour to the river.
You didn’t hook any? I asked. No, said Tom, unable to conceal his dis-
appointment. He then urged me to fish the pool as he started downstream toward the Bread and Butter Run.
I slid in. I could see six inches into the water. I thought about changing to a larger fly and sinking line, as Tom had, but with the light starting to ebb, I stuck with the little nymph. I threw it up and across, as one would a dead drifted dry fly, pulling line in then paying it out as the fly drifted below free of the pull of the line, then re-peated the procedure for a dozen or so casts when the line stopped. I set up.
A steelhead leapt into the air as sur-prised, no doubt, as I was. After a sharp struggle, I freed it then fished on in simi-lar style in the twilight. Another steelhead took as Tom was making his way back up the beach.
You caught one! he said incredulously.This is the second, I said, releasing my
quarry. What did you get it on?I held the nymph up. Wet and in the low
light, it looked like small piece of moss. That? That. That’s it? Yep. Amazing, Tom said. Then he climbed
the shot rock back to the road and his truck.It really is, I thought.

He shot a hole-in-oneACHIEVING A hole in one doesn’t happen every day and when it does, it’s a happy oc-currence at the Skeena Valley Golf and Coun-try Club because the tradition is that the per-son who gets one has to buy everyone in the clubhouse a drink.
Local golfer Andy van Dyk is the latest golfer to score a hole-in-one – on the fourth hole, a par 3 of 176 yards.
“I would say that we might get anywhere from one to four holes-in-one a year, they are rare,” said Germaine Francouer, the club’s head professional.
Vote for Terrace to host winter games torch celebrationTERRACE HAS the chance to host one of the 2015 Canada Winter Games Regional Community Torch Celebrations if the city gets enough votes during the three-week voting period now open online.
The community torch celebration is part of the 2015 Canada Winter Games Torch Relay and one community in each region of Northwest, Northeast and Cen-tral Interior will get to host a celebration.
Terrace is a northwest finalist along
with New Hazelton.“This is a great opportunity for Terrace
to bring together locals and showcase our community to a much larger audience than what we normally would have access to,” says Tyler Clarke, tourism manager for Kermodei Tourism.
Clarke organized a committee and asked the city for support to enter its bid in the torch relay celebration earlier this summer.
Terrace is now shortlisted and online voting starts today, August 27, and contin-ues until September 12.
Visit www.canadagames2015.ca to learn more about the communities and to vote for a deserving community in one or all three regions.
The three successful communities will be announced on September 24, 2014 at the Union of British Columbia Munici-palities Convention.

NOTICEKitimat-Stikine Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Service Rates and Regulations Bylaw No. 640, 2014
The Regional District proposes to adopt Kitimat-Stikine Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Service Rates and Regulations Bylaw No. 640, 2014 at its September 12, 2014 Board Meeting.
This bylaw is intended to regulate the provision of a mandatory service for the collection, removal and disposal of residential garbage and recyclables materials within the identified service area established under Bylaw No. 330 and Bylaw Amendment No. 581. This service is intended to be implemented for residential properties in Electoral Areas E and C, including Chimdemash, Usk, Kleanza, Gossan, Copperside Estates, New Remo, Old Remo, North Terrace, Thornhill, Jackpine Flats and the Lakelse Lake Area. Garbage would be collected weekly and recyclables would be collected every other week on the same days as garbage.
Bylaw No. 640 includes details for provision of this service as a mandatory program. Owners or occupiers of a Residential Premises where the owner has in place, on the date of adoption of this Bylaw, an alternative contractual arrangement to collect Residential Garbage or Residential Recyclable Materials, may continue to make use of such alternative contractual arrangement until January 1, 2015. This “grace period” is to enable owners or occupiers of such Residential Premises sufficient time to terminate existing collection contracts without penalty. The owner or occupier of a vacant lot zoned for residential use may, by written request to the Manager, Works and Services, opt to receive the Regional Collection Service at such vacant lot.
Bylaw No. 640 provides Collection Service Regulations including identification of prohibited materials, handling of waste and containers, container limits for both residential garbage and recyclables, related fees and charges, billing and system operation. Schedules forming parts of Bylaw No. 640 include clear identification of: Prohibited Wastes not permitted for collection, removal and disposal from residential properties; a map of eligible households located in the service area; User Fees associated with the Collection of Garbage and Recyclable Materials; and designated materials as Recyclables for collection.
Anyone wishing to inspect the bylaw or make inquiries can view orobtain a copy of the bylaw at the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine office at 300 - 4545 Lazelle Ave, Terrace BC, V8G 4E1 or contact the office at 250 615-6100 or 1-800-663-3208 or email: info@rdks.bc.ca.
Office hours are 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday, except statutory holidays. A copy of the bylaw is also available for viewing on the Regional District’s website at www.rdks.bc.ca.

TERRACE RCMP are asking the public to be on the lookout for a truck canopy stolen from a business on Keith Ave. sometime during the night of August 21st or 22nd.
“The canopy is somewhat un-usual in that it is for an 8 ft. box and only fits the newer model F-150s,” says Const. Brian Notheisz.
Thieves gained access to the business compound on Keith Ave. by cutting the fence and wire on the Hall St. side and then lifted the canopy over the fence.
The canopy is a Tundra brand, Crown model, white in color, and valued close to $2,000.
If you have information about this crime, contact the Terrace RCMP at 250-638-7400 or anony-mously through Crime Stoppers by telephone at 1-800-222-TIPS, on-line at www.terracecrimestoppers.ca or by texting TERRACE plus your message to 274637 (CRIMES). If your information leads to an ar-rest, you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.
FOUR MEN suspect-ed of stealing alcohol from a government liquor store are be-ing sought by Terrace RCMP.
On August 5th at 12:53 p.m., Suspect 3 and Suspect 4 entered the government li-quor store on Eby St. and caused a distrac-tion while Suspect 1 and 2 shoplifted alco-hol by stuffing bottles down their pants, said police last week.
If you have in-formation about
this crime, contact the Terrace RCMP at 250-638-7400 or anonymously through Crime Stop-pers by telephone
at 1-800-222-TIPS, online at www.ter-racecrimestoppers.ca or by texting TER-RACE plus your message to 274637

Kermodei Tourism manager Tyler Clarke said the city doesn’t have a slogan but that people have tried to push the idea through be-fore.
“There have been efforts to get
groups or committees together but that has met some resistance in the past,” he said, adding he thinks that’s because people don’t like change and no matter what slogan is chosen, someone will
not like it.He added that having a slogan
would make his job of promoting the city a lot easier, but qualified this by saying that “there’s noth-ing wrong with not having a slo-
gan.”“It’s nice to have but it’s not
something you can force,” he said.Terrace city councillor Stacey
Tyers supported the idea in her online comment.
“Maybe we should have a con-test,” she noted in the Facebook discussion.
No other city officials had weighed in on the slogan discus-sion as of the end of last week.

TWO MORE cases of fraudulent attempts to obtain money from un-suspecting victims have surfaced in the area.
In one, which was reported to the RCMP, a woman, via the internet, was told she had won money.
The woman was then asked to send a sum of her own money in order to collect her winnings, police report.
“She sent money to claim her winnings, and did not receive any winnings because there were none in the first place,” the police report continued.
“The fraudsters are now threatening the woman if she doesn’t send more money.”
In the second case, overseas fraudsters relied on a letter sent through the mail which, until email and online communications came along, was the tradi-tional method of luring in people.
It was sent to a lo-cal business by some-one calling herself Nu-rul Abdul Karim from a financial institution called Maybank in Ma-laysia.
Maybank does exist but the writer probably doesn’t for she says her husband, also a May-bank employee, found (US)$38 million in a bank vault ostensibly belonging to a son of former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
The person who ac-tually deposited the money, the letter con-tinues, has the same surname as the Terrace person to whom the let-ter was sent.
The writer then proposes to share the money once the Ter-race recipient fills out a number of forms.
“Rest assured that this is 101 per cent risk free,” the letter states.
