BoTh The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine and the City of Terrace have come out in opposi-tion to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource op-erations’ proposal to move to catch and release only for trout and char caught in Skeena region rivers and streams.
At the Jan. 25 regional district meeting, the board voted in favour
of writing a letter of opposition to the proposal, after hearing City of Terrace representatives Bruce Bid-good and Lynne Christiansen and Thornhill director Ted Ramsey speak to the topic.
And the City of Terrace fol-lowed in the regional district’s footsteps the following Monday, Jan. 28, at its regular council meet-ing, also voting to send a letter of opposition to the ministry.
A petition has been circulating opposing the proposal to move to
non retention of the fish, and vari-ous interest groups like the BC Wildlife Federation have been voicing their concerns.
But those in favour of the pro-posal cite decreasing fish stocks and say a precautionary approach is the only way for fish in the re-gion to survive.
“When numbers of fish start to disappear, we’re all in trouble,” said angler Jim Culp. “The pic-ture’s completely changed [over the years], there are too many peo-
ple and not enough fish.” Culp says it’s a very complicat-
ed situation, and there isn’t enough money or staff to manage the fish-eries in the way they should be.
“I’m absolutely shocked that they would do this,” he said, speak-ing to the city and district’s opposi-tion.
“This is really quite unreason-able on their part because they should take the time to learn what’s going on, and I don’t think they’ve done that.”
At the council meeting, coun-cillor Lynne Christiansen said the proposal should be opposed as lo-cal people love to go out fishing as a family.
In stating her case, she noted the regional district had already come out in opposition to the proposal.
“[Fishing] is what people like to do with their family and involves little expense,” she said.
“It’s what families enjoy to do here.”

CheCKING The expiry dates on her Salvation Army food bank items gave one woman a shock Jan. 31.
Several items that the woman, who didn't want her name used, had picked up from the Salvation Army food bank had dates that expired anywhere from 2012 back to a can of soup with a date of 2000. “I was really shocked about that,” she said, adding that people often don't check dates and could get sick and think it's the flu when it's food poisoning.
“I'm grateful for all [the Salvation Army help], I really am, but these could seriously hurt someone,” she said, adding she had also used the food bank a couple of times last year.
She always checks the best-before dates and this is the first time she noticed old ones, she said, adding the other items she received that day had dates that were okay.
When the woman got home, she was putting the items in the cupboard and took out the peanut but-ter. “I thought 'oh goody peanut butter' and I looked at the date,” she said. Then she showed her partner.
“he's like 'what does that mean? Is it July 2010 or 2008?' “I said ‘either way, it's still old,’” she said.
She planned to take the items back to the Salva-tion Army.
Major Rosa Moulton of the Terrace Salvation Army said this is the first time she's seen this hap-pen in 13 years.
“Sometimes when people are donating to the food bank, they will go through their cupboards for stuff they're not going to use,” she said.
“We don't always pay attention to cans – usually cans are okay. This is an isolated incident.”

It’s important to en-sure � shing regulations are followed for con-servation but this new regulation takes that to the extreme, she said.
“Quite a few years ago at Lakelse Lake, they put a net almost across the whole lake to catch trout, catch and throw them out because it was thought they were interfering with the salmon,” said Chris-tiansen.
“Now, it’s the other extreme where you can’t catch a trout for dinner.”
Councillor Bruce Bidgood said he and Christiansen probably had more of the love of � shing in their veins than the rest of council and he agreed with her comments.
“I also have an ob-jection [to a regulation] which would see no re-tention of trout or char,” he said, adding he’s not opposed to conserva-tion but this regulation was � awed in its timing and done without broad consultation.
If the � sh popula-
tions are endangered then shut down every-thing, including catch and release to give them time to get the numbers back up, he said, adding
it doesn’t seem that that idea was considered.
The province needs to consult a broader ar-ray of the public with an interest in the � sheries,
he said.Council voted unani-
mously to send the let-ter. Brian Downie and Marylin Davies were absent.

Expired food an ‘isolated incident’
Items with a short shelf life, such as baby food, are put out � rst so they can be taken and used be-fore they expire, said Moulton.
Northern Health's Safe Food Handling Standards, which are de-signed for food banks, says canned food has a shelf life of about one to two years from the date of pro-cessing.
“Canning is a high-heat process that renders the food commercial-ly sterile...commercially canned products are shelf-stable at room temperatures,” says the 55-page food standards manual.
“Canned food may retain its safety and nutritional value well beyond two years, but it may have some variation in quality, such as a change of colour and texture....
“While the can remains intact, without dents or bulges, outside contamination is prevented and the food remains sterile until opened....”
The manual says that a general rule for canned items is that low acid foods such as canned meat, � sh, stew, soup, beans, corn, peas, spinach or pasta can be kept for two to � ve years un-opened in storage, provided that the can has not been damaged or corroded.
It also says that high acid canned foods, such as juices, fruit, pickles, sauerkraut, tomato soup and foods in vinegar can be kept for 12 to 18 months in storage, also provided the can hasn't been damaged or corroded.

THE CITY of Terrace will be spending an extra $115,000 on wages for 2013 now that union contract negotiations are com-plete.
Negotiations between the city and Canadian Union of Public Employees took place in November 2012, resulting in a two per cent wage increase for unionized city employees for the years 2013 and 2014.
That wage increase
amounts to a rounded ad-ditional $90,000 yearly for unionized city employees and another $25,000 extra each year for salaried workers.
This means negotiated wage increases and salary in-creases will cost the city an approximate total of $230,000 over the next two budget years.
“The negotiations went very smoothly,” said Brianna Pellegrino, who works with the
city’s human resources depart-ment. “They only lasted a few days. We continue to maintain good labour relations.”
The CUPE contract negoti-ated for 2013 and 2014 is very close to that of the previous year, said Pellegrino, adding changes involved only slight variances in language.
It mimics the former con-tract for wage increases, under which employees are entitled
to a two per cent wage increase for each contract year.
In total, the city’s directly employed 15 salaried workers will be paid $1.3 million in 2013 and 110 CUPE employ-ees will be paid $4.5 million, according to the city’s � nance director Ron Bowles.
This year’s increases amount to 0.6 per cent of the city’s entire operational bud-get.

Signing onKitsumkalum and Kitselas First Nations offered additional lands
but first members must approve of treaty agreements in principle
THE KITSELAS and Kit-sumkalum First Nations are to receive additional lands that stand to be-
come part of their treaty alloca-tions under two deals signed Jan. 31.
But members of each First Nation must first approve treaty agreements in principle with Kit-selas voting Feb. 20 and Kitsum-kalum April 10 before any trans-fers take place.
The agreements in principle, initialed by negotiators Jan. 22, form the core of any eventual treaty but the additional lands are meant as an immediate economic and cultural benefit, said provin-cial aboriginal relations minister Ida Chong who attended the Kitse-las and Kitsumkalum signing cer-emonies.
“These are part of our continu-ing commitment to involve First Nations in the economy,” said Chong.
The province has already ap-proved of both agreements in prin-ciple.
All of the lands involved in the two deals are Crown land taking up approximately 148 hectares in two parcels for the Kitsumkalum and 250 hectares in four parcels for the Kitselas.
The larger of the Kitsumkalum parcels is to become part of the community’s rock quarry opened last year while the other, farther north along the West Kalum For-estry Road, is to be used for a sub-division.
The largest of the Kitselas par-cels is to allow the First Nation’s Gitaus subdivision to expand and is located on both sides of Hwy16, while another, near the airport, is to be rolled into its agreement with the City of Terrace for the develop-ment of an industrial park.
A small parcel of land at Catt Point on Lakelse Lake across from Lakelse Lake Provincial Park is in-cluded in the Kitselas deal.
Gerald Wesley, the chief nego-tiator for the Kitselas and Kitsum-kalum, said that while the deals
were separate from the agreements in principle, they formed part of the overall emphasis on building an economy for both First Nations.
“This was a business opportu-nity so we jumped on it,” he said.
The parcels being allocated come under the provincial govern-
ment’s incremental treaty agree-ment policy of providing land for economic and other development in advance of any final treaties.
“I do believe they build trust be-tween governments and communi-ties,” said Chong.
As it is, the Kitsumkalum, based on its proposed agreement in prin-ciple, is to receive approximately 44,809 hectares and $44.2 million in cash while the Kitselas are to re-ceive 35,090 hectares and approxi-mately $34.7 million in cash.
Agreements in principle even after being approved, however, are not legally binding and details could change as negotiations con-tinue toward a final treaty docu-ment.
Kitsumkalum chief councillor Don Roberts called the pending land transfer a “significant mile-stone in the treaty process.”
But he cautioned the audience at the Kitsumkalum ceremony that accepting the additional lands shouldn’t be regarded as blanket agreement of a treaty.
“I know there’s concern in the community,” said Roberts of lands and title issues raised during nego-tiations.
Kitselas chief councillor Judy Gerow, at the Kitselas signing ceremony, said a treaty provides a framework for dealing with indus-trial and other development, par-ticularly now that the region is the subject of a growing number of po-tential liquefied natural gas plants, pipelines and mines.
“Now when we look at what’s going on, it’s scary,” said Gerow. “A treaty ensures we have a say on what happens.”
“Now we will be able to par-ticipate in decisions being made on our land.”
Both signing ceremonies were attended by City of Terrace and Kitimat-Stikine regional district officials.
There was one note of protest at Kitsumkalum – two Idle No More banners were planted on the side of Hwy16 close to the front door of the Kitsumkalum community hall. Five police officers were also in attendance at the Kitsumkalum ceremony but none were present at the Kitselas signing.
KITSELAS CHIEF councillor Judy Gerow says she'll be voting 'yes' when her First Na-tion's land claims agreement in principle ap-proval vote takes place Feb. 20.
But Don Roberts, the chief councillor at Kitsumkalum, isn't ready to make his deci-sion public leading up to his First Nation's agreement in principle vote April 10.
Speaking at the Jan. 31 signing ceremony to add to the Kitselas Nation's land base, Ge-row said the agreement in principle, which if approved contains the core of negotiations leading to an eventual land claims treaty, provides Kitselas with tools for economic and other development.
“I will be voting 'yes',” said Gerow.
“I do feel confident but am kind of cau-tious at the same time. I do have a good feel-ing,” said Gerow of the prospects of the Kit-selas membership giving majority approval to the agreement in principle.
She added that the Kitselas treaty com-munications team has been working hard to provide details of the agreement in principle and to answer questions.
Yet Gerow also said she was concerned that the impact of the Idle No More move-ment may lead to people voting against the agreement in principle because they are dis-satisfied with all of some of its provisions.
“When I speak to the treaty team, I tell them to use this as a positive,” said Gerow
of Idle No More, adding that themes of con-trol of lands and resources and environmen-tal protection that are coming out in Idle No More are contained in treaties.
“Idle No More is an awesome idea but the interpretation is left open. There should be a focus and I would say so that treaties are a way of establishing that focus.”
Robert said he wasn't going to reveal how he was going to vote because he didn't want to be seen to sway how people might vote..
“I leave that up to the people to make a decision,” said Roberts. “It's the people who will make up their minds.”
But Roberts did say there's concern with-in the four house groups at Kitsumkalum
about ownership and control of marine re-sources. He said the Skeena River, other wa-ter systems and the life they contain are a part of the Kitsumkalum people.
“We need a fisheries plan; we absolutely need that,” said Roberts.
At the same time, Roberts said the pro-vincial and federal governments have to realize how the Kitsumkalum people view lands that won't be party of their core treaty.
“It's even,” said Roberts in terms of im-portance between the two types of land.
“They may not have a 100 per cent say [in development outside of core treaty lands] but they will be looking for partnerships, revenue sharing,” he added.
Chiefs differ on publicizing voting positions

A LOCAL restaurant is donating money each month to two local el-ementary schools to buy food for students.
Gerran Thorhaug from Don Di-ego’s made the first donations of gift cards from local grocery stores to school principals and students of Cassie Hall Elementary and Suwi-laawks Community School Jan. 22, saying good nutrition is a must in order for young people to learn.
The Jan. 22 donations amounted to $300 for each school and will be followed by donations of at least $100 a month thereafter to each school.
“I know the breakfast and lunch programs at the schools are in need of support,” said Thorhaug. “And this is one way we can help.”
He said helping to feed students is one of the most important causes
businesses can support.Thorhaug said he knew of
school food programs from his mother Sheila, the principal at Cassie Hall, but then realized not many other people knew what has happening.
“I’m also hoping this creates awareness of what these schools do,” he added.
Both schools not only have breakfast and lunch programs but also healthy snack programs with money coming from a variety of grants and from the provincial gov-ernment.
Principals Sheila Thorhaug from Cassie Hall and Pam Kawin-sky from Suwilaawks said the Don Diego’s on-going donation effort is appreciated and will be put to good use with an emphasis on healthy
foods.“Lunches are made in our kitch-
en and that helps us be sustain-able,” said Kawinsky.
“We make our own muffins and that gives us more bang for our bucks.”
Sheila Thorhaug said assistance comes in other forms as well – the Alliance Church bakes and brings over cookies once a month.
“And once a year they prepare a potluck meal and bring it over for the staff,” she said.
Of the 209 students at Cassie Hall, approximately 25 have break-fast at the school and 45 take part in the lunch program.
Numbers at Suwilaawks are higher. Of 259 students, 80 have a school-provided breakfast and a same number for lunch.

Gov’t to offerLNG moneyto northwestTHE PROVINCIAL govern-ment fully expects to provide local governments with a piece of the expected tax revenues from potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) developments, says a cabinet minister.
Community development minister Bill Bennett is wrap-ping up a two-day visit to Ter-race and Kitimat today, speak-ing with officials about the impact of as many as five natu-ral gas pipeline construction projects or pipeline expansion projects to feed accompanying LNG plants.
There’s an existing program in the northeast whereby munic-ipalities and regional districts receive revenue from energy developments and equivalent revenue sharing agreements in the Kootenays, said Bennett.
“So there’s precedence for this,” said Bennett of any even-tual revenue sharing agreement for northwestern B.C.
The scale of potential devel-opments being talked about add up to tens of billions of dollars and the result would be a strain on municipal services and in-frastructure, Bennett acknowl-edged.
“You’ll have issues such as schools and hospitals and will they be sufficient,” he said.
“We don’t want another Fort Mac,” said Bennett refer-ring to Fort McMurray where population and business growth spurred by oil sands develop-ment quickly outstripped public services.
And he said the topic of revenue sharing would extend beyond gas pipelines and LNG facilities to include mineral and other development stemming from the completion of BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmis-sion Line which is to provide power up Hwy37 North.
Bennett also raised the May provincial election as a factor in LNG developments, saying the choice between re-electing the his current Liberal government or choosing the NDP is impor-tant.
“The only question at this point is whose going to be gov-ernment in the spring,” said Bennett.
Bennett said the topic of the election came up in a meeting last week with officials from Chevron and Apache.
Each has a 50 per cent stake in the planned Pacific Trails Pipeline through which natu-ral gas would flow to a planned LNG plant at Kitimat.
While Bennett said the com-panies did not express a party preference, “it’s fair to say they’re a lot more secure in go-ing forward with a government that helps,” he said.
“We want to bring forward a [taxation] model that’s com-petitive with other countries,” added Bennett in referring to LNG development elsewhere.
“We’re a government that understands business and we’re not the kind that kills the goose that lays the golden egg,” he said.
WestJet remains interested in Terrace
AIR CANADA has announced its adding a fifth flight to its daily Vancouver-Terrace run as of July.
“This year there will be 5 Dash-8-300 flights (vs. 4 Dash 8-300 flights in 2012) in response to the demand,” said company official Angela Mah on Friday, Feb. 1.
The daily capacity will rise from 200 seats to 250 a day.
News of additional service into
Terrace was part of an announce-ment of increases of service into a number of Western Canadian air-ports.
Air Canada will also be adding to its Vancouver-Smithers service, increasing daily capacity from 100 to 150 seats. In all, there will be increased capacity to 19 air-ports. Prince Rupert was not on the list.
By Staff Writer
WESTJET IS advancing its discussions with the Northwest Regional Airport about set-ting up service here.
The society which runs the airport and the airline signed a non-disclosure agreement in December as discussions evolved.
The agreement followed WestJet an-nouncing last year it was forming a subsid-iary, since named Encore, to serve smaller
Canadian destinations.It then invited more than 30 airports, the
Northwest Regional Airport being one, to Calgary to make sales pitches stating why WestJet should come to their communities.
“I wish I could tell you more but because of the non-disclosure agreement I can't,” said airport general manager Carman Hen-dry about discussions with WestJet. “But they haven't said 'no'”.
A WestJet announcement of the first air-
ports Encore would service was expected in January but has now been put over to this month.
The company is expected to start serving the first of the smaller airports the second half of the year using seven Q400 Bombar-dier turboprop planes, adding more aircraft and more destinations as time moves on.
The Q400, a newer version of the Dash 8 type now flown into Terrace by Air Canada Jazz and Hawkair, are quieter and faster than
their predecessors and would reduce the fly-ing time between Terrace and Vancouver.
WestJet's consideration of Terrace comes as the airport experienced record traffic in 2012 with 139,193 passengers pass-ing through its doors, easily eclipsing the 120,384 passenger mark in 2011.
That growth is on the strength of an im-proving northwestern economy thanks to large projects such as Rio Tinto Alcan's re-build of its Kitimat aluminum smelter.
More Air Canada flights Suite deal edges closerSECONDARY SUITES in a separate building on larger parcels are one step closer to reality as city council approved the first and second readings of the zoning amendment Jan. 28.
City development services director David Block recommended the approvals to change the uses and regulations
in the RR1 rural resi-dential zone and the ac-cessory building regula-tions to allow secondary suites in other than the principal residence on a property.
It provides more liv-ing units where dwell-ings are already located, said Block.
On Jan. 18, resident Trevor Jobb requested
that the zoning bylaw be amended to allow secondary suites in an accessory building on an RR1 property.
Zoning bylaw cur-rently allows second-ary suites in the prin-cipal dwelling on RR1 property after council amended the bylaw in 2009 to allow that.
Councillor Stacey
Tyers said the amend-ment comes at a per-fect time as residents struggle with finding a place to live. Councillor Bruce Bidgood said the amendment was similar to what’s done in Swe-den.
City council voted unanimously to approve the first two readings of the amendment.

THE SIGNS, one opposite the Chev-ron in Thornhill and the other just west of Kitsumkalum, contain the starkest of messages: “Hitchhiking. Is It Worth The Risk?”
To one young lady at 12:30 p.m. Christmas Eve near Kispiox and to another woman during the mid after-noon of Jan. 26 just south of Terrace on Hwy37 it was worth the risk.
And both then had terrifying ex-periences resulting in the police now looking for the male driver of a red van in the Kispiox incident and three men in a white pick up in the Hwy37 incident.
Which then begs the question – why did these two people make the obviously bad choice of standing on the side of a northern highway.
Each answer will be different but each will involve a series of events resulting in the calculated conclu-sion that each had to get from Point A to Point B at that particular time, leaving them no option but to hitch a ride.
A 2006 symposium organized in response to the murdered and miss-ing women along Hwy16 issued a number of recommendations, one of which was to operate a female passenger-focused shuttle service of seven buses along the highway.
Would this service have deterred these two individuals? Impossible to say. But certainly it will be the kind of question the province will face now that it has renewed its commit-ment to examine those symposium recommendations.

I was a young adult be-fore I had a chance to read a living novelist. In my Saskatchewan coun-
try school, we had a glass-fronted cabinet � lled with the works of Shakespeare, Sir Walter Scott, Charles Dick-ens and Jane Austen and a set of encyclopedia published well before my 1935 birth-date.
Our reading list consisted of American authors like Mark Twain and Jack Lon-don (who wrote of Canada’s Yukon until I thought of him as Canadian), British authors like John Buchan who wrote The 39 Steps and turned me off mysteries for life, and an array of British or American poets.
Bold knights and prissy damsels minced through the novels available to me, their escapades bearing no relation to my daily life on a prairie farm.
No one dreamed of speak-ing with or listening to a live author as we do daily now. As for a Canadian author? Who knew we had any? Then in the 1980s, with access to a wide range of magazines and a local library offering a spectrum of newly published books, I not only sampled
Canadian authors but had a chance to sit in on readings by visiting B.C. authors.
Emboldened by speaking with visiting authors, I be-gan writing thank you notes to any author whose book I particularly enjoyed. Their responses have assured me how accessible Canadian writers are.
One of my � rst notes of appreciation, written in March 2000 six years before I bought a computer, was to novelist Don Dickinson, Prince Rupert-born but living in Lillooet. He replied, “What a shock and delight to receive your letter. Letters like yours help keep me writing.”
Writing – especially a novel which can take two years or more – is a lonely occupation with long stretch-es of isolation between pub-lications that might stimulate book tours and other periods of recognition.
So if a note from me keeps a favourite author writing an-other book, letting the writer know how much I enjoy his work is the least I can do.
Since that � rst note, I have corresponded with many writers: Margaret Atwood, who responded on a post-card, “Where would authors be without writers?”; Jim Taylor; Gordon Kirkland; William P. Kinsella; William J. Thomas; Budge Wilson and other Canadians as well as a funny American Native writer from Spokane, Sher-man Alexei, and Dave Barry.
Authors can be contacted by writing to them in care of the radio or TV station where you heard them interviewed, or through their publishers. Otherwise, check the internet for phone numbers.
For a September column, I wanted to mention Farley Mowat’s Great Horned Owl, one of two pet owls in his book “Owls in the Family”, the owl that would crouch,
clutching a fold of the con-vertible’s folded canvas top, as the family went for a Sun-day drive over bumpy gravel roads. Was it Wol or Weeps who lifted as if to take off each time the car bumped? If I guessed wrong, some in-the-know reader would catch my error.
My deadline was too close to go to the library and read the book. So I went to my computer and the internet yielded Mowat’s Nova Scotia phone number. At 2:08 p.m. I dialed the number. Claire Mowat answered.
Her husband was out shopping for their supper, she said. No use I leave a mes-sage. He never returns mes-sages or emails. But he’d be back in 30 minutes if I would care to call then. I would and I did, at 2:41 p.m. Farley an-swered with a cheery ‘Hello’. He was stirring supper on the stove.
The answer to my ques-tion? It was mischievous Wol who swooped with every bump the car encountered. I felt the 92-year-old was will-ing to chat longer, but I let him get on with his supper. I regret not asking him what he was cooking. Bet it was chowder.
Let writers know you enjoy their work

I am not sure if Idle No More is a movement or merely a passing protest. Like Occupy Wall Street before it, Idle No
More, above all, appears to be an expression of frustration.
Earlier protest actions opposed the status quo, but they did have a clear focus — civil rights, wom-en’s rights and gay rights — vi-sions for a new reality.
These earlier movements may not have achieved the full mea-sure of their objectives, but they did bring about significant chang-es. The norms of today’s society differ from those of the 1950s in part at least due to their efforts.
It is easier to understand what Occupy Wall Street and Idle No More are opposed to than what it is they want to achieve.
What do the 99 percent want to do to with or about Wall Street? What new economic order do the 99 percent want, and how do they propose to implement it?
Do they want to replace capi-talism and global corporatism with a new economic order?
These two -isms can and do flourish under any political ideol-
ogy, from fascism on the right to communism on the left, and un-der any form of governance, from dictatorship to democracy.
Must the 99 percent occupy Bay Street and Sussex Drive to bring about change?
We know what the 99 percent are opposed to, but it is far from clear what new reality they want and how they hope to get there.
Idle No More raises similar questions. The idleness that is to be no more is the protestors’ own. The movement is as critical of its own servile passivism as it is of governments.
What is to follow our idleness? How will our lives have changed once “Idle No More” is replaced with “Busy Now”?
The Prime Minister did com-mit to designate one official with-in the Prime Minister’s Office (where the real power resides) with special responsibilities to deal with issues of concern to First Nations.
Details of the terms of refer-ence for that new post are vague. But the Prime Minister left no doubt about the fate of Bill C-45
and all the changes brought about by that omnibus (ominous?) leg-islation.
That book is closed; lakes and rivers will not be allowed to im-pede the resource industry. There is willingness to talk about talk-ing, but not about respecting trea-ties, about giving the environment equal standing, much less priori-ty, with matters dear to the energy industry, gas and oil specifically, on the public policy agenda.
The Idle No More movement was born out of First Nations’ frustrations, true, but the move-ment’s issues and concerns are not limited to First Nations.
The movement’s opponents are not Prime Minister Harper and his Conservative Party, the elephant in the room is the con-centration of corporate power and its influence over governments at all levels.
Governments of every form, shape, and political ideology around the globe have long ago surrendered their independence to corporate interests.
First Nations have been taken for granted by governments for centuries. For the middle class, this experience is new.
A monumental shift occurred when governments embraced the Thatcher/Reagan free market ideology. This ideology extended new rights to markets at the ex-pense of the middle class. This ideology compels governments to focus their attention on short-term market demands at the expense of any issue of concern to society and at the expense of the health
of the environment that sustains us all.
Change of the kind sought by Idle No More is not impossible, but it is a tall order.
If it does come about, it will not have been brought about by politics within current realities. The kind of change Idle No More has in mind may not occur until climate change, pollution, and above all the price of energy have imposed a harsh new reality on us all.
If British Columbia’s Liberal Party succeeds in getting enough cash from Calgary’s oil industry elites to buy itself victory in the next provincial election, the En-bridge project will have been ap-proved by the end of the year.
Political leaders will continue to promise tax cuts and greater ef-ficiency in the delivery of health care and education.
As for the rest of us, I fear that we will continue to leave politics to politicians as we idle some more.

ANDRE CARREL
Dear Sir:That was a nice arti-
cle I read in the Sun re-cently, talking about the carbon trade made with the Great Bear Rainfor-est.
We live up here in the forest but there are no great bears here.
Oh, we have Ker-modei bear, and black bear, some cinnamon, a few glacier bear, and the odd griz, but none of them are considered great.
Mostly they are common bears of dif-ferent colour. We think of them mostly as nui-sance bears, not very great.
We now have to not log our forests so that they may be carbon sinks for the polluters in the rest of B.C.
Do any of your staff, from the owner on down, understand just what the “ carbon trade” is?
It allows a polluter to
buy credits from some-one who has credits (us up here) so they can keep on polluting.
We are now expected to not log but to lay off good workers and shut down our industries.
But that mill in Howe Sound down on the lower mainland still pollutes as it did last week.
The barkers in the carnivals understand all this.
It’s a shell game, and
you people have bought it without even remov-ing the sinker.
This reduces carbon footprint only on the shuffling of paper.
How can the carbon sinks 500 miles away reduce carbon emis-sions at the place of origin?
No one cares to un-derstand that a young, properly replanted, properly tended and vigorously growing log-ging slash will soak up
more carbon than will an overmature stand of trees.
As I understand it, this misunderstood piece of junk I read, indicates some polluter must pay someone else that does not pollute.
And the ones not polluting are up here.
Then make out the cheque (a big one) to the Kitimat-Stikine re-gional district.

Dear Sir:Recent coverage in regard to proposed closures
for keeping trout from the rivers of the Skeena, Nass and Stikine is a classic example of how good intentions don’t always lead to good outcomes.
Rob Brown and Jim Culp are often criticized by anglers of all persuasions, which is not surprising considering their proclivity to tell everyone else where, when and how to fish. Having said that, any-one who enjoys fishing on the Skeena should tip their hats to these two every day they fish the Skee-na – there are more fish in the river, and more habi-tats intact, as a result of their efforts over decades. They are bonafide salmon conservation heroes, but they have it all wrong, as does the province, with these proposed regulations.
It’s this simple – regardless of the serious prob-lems the province’s fish people have with resourc-es, this proposed policy shuts down a quarter of the province to retention of trout and char from rivers.
Hundreds of rivers within these watersheds have no issues from human caused mortalities (killing and eating a fish for dinner). This is a “one size fits all” policy. It is petulant, unscientific, polarizing and worse.
By all means the rivers identified as having is-sues with char, like the Copper, should be closed to retention. If provincial fisheries had been doing their job, they would have been shut down years ago. A precautionary approach is well advised in some cases. But making retention illegal on rivers without issues just criminalizes the kayakers, raf-ters and local fisherman who like to eat a trout once in awhile.
If there is that serious of a problem with Copper River char, then the next logical next step is closing the river down to all angling, including guides.

Fish ban plan plain wrongI have � y-� shed for
over 40 years, and I don’t want to hear any more neo religious clap-trap about the sanctity of catch and release.
If you hook � sh in the mouth with steel hooks, some of them will die.
It is a blood sport, re-gardless of whether you use a size 20 midge, or a spoon, a 2,000 dol-lar bamboo rod, or a 10 dollar spin stick from Walmart. Catch and re-lease is not a religion, it
is a management tool. And an effective one with species that are inherently tough given their physiology or size, or the stage of their life history.
Badly applied, it can exacerbate conservation issues instead of � xing them, allowing mortali-ties to continue unabat-ed under the belief that dragging � sh around by the lips has no ill effects on them. Catch and release on steelhead makes perfect sense, bi-
ologically and econom-ically. Catch and release on ocean coho is incred-ibly counter productive.
If you want precau-tionary conservation, better be careful what you ask for.
I know some First Nations would gladly love to see the courts de-cide if catch and release mortalities count in the grand scheme of things, what the law and logic says, as opposed to the neo religious opinions of self appointed arbi-
ters of when and how we all � sh.
Rob and Jim man-aged to severely dam-age the local, and sus-tainable, sport� shing economy in this region with the ill-conceived regulations foisted on us by the so-called Quality Waters process.
Now Rob thinks a quarter of the prov-ince’s rivers should be closed down to reten-tion of trout and char.
Enough is enough. The province needs to
get its act together, and devise a representative process to get balanced input from anglers.
We need the prov-ince to man up on a lot of � sheries issues, like the future of Thompson steelhead, proposed oil pipelines and � lling in pristine lakes with toxic mine tailings.
But this drama queen approach to char con-servation deserves a swift and emphatic no.
Bruce HillTerrace, BC
Catch and release kills as wellDear Sir:
Banning an entire re-gion for trout and char retention in the absence of sound scienti� c data is not only absurd, it’s downright reckless and self-serving.
And hardly a substi-tute is the lack of � sh-ing skills to determine a species population.
Where do our li-cense fees and tax dol-lars go if not to support the very � shery they’re supposed to?
And by self-serving I mean to say the very no-tion that driving a hook into a � sh and playing it has no ill effect is a very naive belief because the truth is at least half or more such caught and released � sh peter off
and die of infection or trauma.
What some don’t want you to know is government � sher-ies representatives are vigorously lobbied by commercial fresh water � shing guides who want nothing more than to systematically exclude recreational � shing res-idents like they did in Europe.
Why do you think they all come here to � sh? And when they do it means dollars for their guides.
The same thing goes on in hunting. I’m not saying all guides are greedy, just that some are and go to great lengths to disguise it.
If there is a real issue
with the hardy trout and char which we all know are in suf� cient abun-dance based on what we hear from skilled anglers in our commu-nities, why then does the ministry propose ex-cluding only retention?
If it is as serious as some writers proclaim, then ethically we should stop all forms of nega-tive impact on these species by banning catch and release, too.
In fact, some of our most concerned and vo-
cal anglers should out-right volunteer to ban all forms of � shing in open support of what they claim as fact.
Please support the petition.
Donald Rolfe,Kitimat, BC
Dear Sir:I would like to take this opportunity to thank
Bob Erb for his gracious contributions to all of the support and business groups in our community.
It is at these times that we need to look at our own re� ections and ask “What if it was I?” It is not the amount of support in dollar value that is so wonderful, it is in fact the pureness of the person and what they live each day, with or without wealth.
After all, wealth is measured by who we are, not what we have. I do not know Mr. Erb personally as I’m sure a lot of our community can also contest to, but having read all that he has done unsel� shly, does it not make a person stop to think, how easy it is to even give of your own time to help in our community.
I can only tell you from my own experience that a smile returned can not be measured in a dollar value.
It only takes a moment of kindness to change someone’s day, I challenge our community to do just that, give some of your time, in that lies true wealth. Thanks again, Mr. Erb.

JUDGE CALVIN Struyk has handed a sentence of federal jail time to Todd Godbout after his conviction on drug charges.
In a Jan. 18 sentenc-ing hearing, Godbout was ordered to spend two years in jail, 730 days, on a charge of possession of ecstasy for the purpose of traf-ficking.
On another charge of possession of cocaine for the purpose of traf-ficking, Godbout was given jail time of 318 days and time credited of 412 days for time he spent in jail awaiting trial.
Godbout was arrest-ed June 4, 2010 after a team effort involving multiple RCMP units
in two provinces, said Prince Rupert-based Sgt. Tim Arseneault of the RCMP’s north-ern drug section at that time.
The units include narcotics officers in this area, in Calgary, in Van-couver, officers with the RCMP’s border integ-rity unit in Prince Ru-pert and officers with the Kitimat and Terrace RCMP detachments, he said.
Arseneault said that on June 2, 2010, offi-cers in Calgary became aware of a shipment of cocaine destined for Terrace through a cou-rier company.
“With the combined efforts of all the noted sections and detach-ments, Prince Rupert
Drug Section members were able to arrest Mr. Godbout on Friday June 4 and execute a search warrant at his residence in Terrace where they located further evidence of drug trafficking,” said Arseneault.
He added that police also seized a half ki-logram of cocaine and more than 600 ecstasy tablets, thereby keeping them from reaching the street.
Godbout must pro-vide a DNA sample to police, is prohibited from owning or pos-sessing firearms for life and has to forfeit items seized by police.
He must also pay a victim fine surcharge of $100, which is due by Dec. 31, 2015.
A charge of pos-session of a prohibited weapon was stayed.
Tire thief surprisedA MAN attempting to steal tires from a government vehicle in a parking lot on Kalum Street last week was interrupted in the act by a woman.
Police report the man had even brought blocks of wood with him to hold up the vehicle while jack-ing it up.
The man had removed two of the tires before the woman came
along.The man was wearing a black
checkered jacket and left on foot toward the rear of the Northern Health Building. Checks were done of the area by police but the man was not found.
In a separate incident, police did apprehend a man who had sto-len a two litre bottle of cider from the Inn of the West liquor store.
Man gets federal time
ONE OF two teens charged with vandal-izing a power pole at Caledonia late last year has pleaded guilty.
The 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named according to the Youth Criminal Justice Act, entered his plea on a charge of common nui-sance endangering life.
A pre-sentence re-port to assist the judge in sentencing is to be ready for the next court date March 12.
The 15-year-old did not enter a plea.
On Oct. 29, 2012, police arrested two young people after wit-nesses called police at 2:48 a.m. to report what looked like two figures in dark clothing trying to saw through a power pole outside the school.
The pair ran when they saw police but offi-cers followed and found them hiding in bushes on the Howe Creek Trail.
Police found a saw nearby by following footprints in the snow.
Classes were can-celled for the day at Caledonia while BC Hydro crews replaced the pole, which cost more than $25,000.
Both teens are charged with mis-chief to property over $5,000, breach of duty likely to cause mis-chief and common nuisance endangering life.

Two-week breaksubject of surveyThe CoasT Moun-tains school District wants to hear what par-ents and guardians think about next year’s sched-ule, which once again proposes a two-week spring break.
The district moved to a two-week break from a one-week break this school year, citing a positive response from the community during a series of public con-sultations early last year and the fact that the ma-jority of districts across the province already have a two-week break.
Those in favour of the longer break cited it allows more time for families to travel or leave the area. Con-cerns included parents or guardians needing to find alternative care for their children.
“There’s no doubt that it’s an inconve-nience for families that are working those two weeks,” said school board chair art eras-
mus. “That’s balanced off by others saying this will give us an opportu-nity to go a little farther afield.”
The teacher’s union also came out in favour of the change.
This year, spring break starts March 18, with students returning to class on april 2, the day after easter Mon-day.
But commenting on the proposed calender for next school year closes Feb. 28, meaning families will not have
a chance to try out the two-week break before deciding whether or not they support keep-ing the change for next year.
This is because the school calendar needs to be voted on by the board by the end of March in order to be submitted to the prov-ince on time.
“The whole calender regulation in the school act changed, and there is no ministry school act calendar ... so districts can do what they want to do, and that has to be approved by the end of March,” said eras-mus. “so in order to get some time in for people to give feedback and ask questions, they’ve basically got February and then we have three weeks in March to tabu-late that and clarify so the board can approve the calendar at the March board meeting to be approved by March 31.”
Now that districts are able to submit their own calendar, some around the province are even talking about moving to school year round, with longer breaks every couple of months in-stead of one long sum-mer break.
But that’s not on the table here yet, said erasmus.
“our sense at this point is that while that may be great for kids because they don’t have all summer to forget, I think that the tradition of having the summer off for parents and fami-lies to do stuff together ... that would be a huge change. We’re not go-ing to dive into that be-cause we don’t want to be quite that adventur-ous without having an opportunity to do some surveys and talk to par-ents,” he said.
The CoasT Mountains school Dis-trict is extending the contract of its superintendent who was originally hired as a temporary measure in 2010.
Nancy Wells was first brought in to fill the gap between the sudden depar-ture of Rob Greenwood and the hiring of a new superintendent.
But her contract has since been ex-tended several times.
Wells said she wanted the district to have an uninterrupted year, saying that last year’s job disruption caused by teachers made it difficult to put the district on a stable footing. and if she left this year, work would be in-terrupted through the hiring of a new superintendent.
“and I’m enjoying it and things are going well,” Wells said. “The thing is there are fantastic people in this district, very capable educators. It’s their district, they’ve always been here, and they just needed things to get pulled together so they could start to go – and they’re going. It’s a strong district and it’s going to be even stronger, it just needs to keep moving, it didn’t need to be interrupted.
“We can have the interruptions next year when the district will be even more stable and I can see a really smooth transition,” she said.
school board chair art erasmus praised Wells for bringing growth and stability to the district.
“our committee structures are pre-
dictable, the meetings are predictable, we make a schedule and we stick to it,” he said, of how the district runs under Wells. “and she’s passionate about education, talks about learning and students. she’s doing a great job.”
The announcement coincided with the release by Wells of a report on student progress that was sent to the education ministry last month.
The report repeatedly highlights the district’s developing of an internal database using the assessment Man-agement system (aMs) to provide data on student learning outcomes and situations.
It means the district will track how students and classrooms are perform-ing, and also compare that data to standardized testing mechanisms like the yearly Foundation skills assess-ment (Fsa) tests.
“We will have more classroom-based data, and we’ll be able to say, ‘does our classroom-based data that our classroom teachers are producing … match the Fsa, do our report card data match the Fsa?’ We’ll be able to produce that once the aMs system is implemented,” said Wells.
This will be the first time the dis-trict will have numbers like this to measure progress.
“That’s where the fun part is in education,” she said. “how are we doing? Did we have an impact where we wanted to?”
Senior subject of fraud
School superis staying on
Art Erasmus
a 67-yeaR-olD man was the tar-get of a fraud attempt, report police.
The incident occurred when he received a phone call from an un-known person representing an un-known company from an unknown telephone number.
The caller stated that the com-pany had received complaints about
viruses on his computer.he was told the company would
fix the problem remotely if he would give them his credit card number.
The man had to cancel his credit card when he fell for this scheme.
The scheme is one of the newer attempts to defraud people out of their money.

POLICE SAY they’ve forwarded charge recommendations for break and enter and other offences after a man was arrested Jan. 28 follow-ing a break-in at City Furniture on Lakelse Ave.
Officers discovered that entry had been gained through a dam-
aged front door after responding to an alarm.
Meanwhile, another officer pur-sued a man who ran and attempted to hide after an attempt was made to check on him.
“The man was intoxicated and arrested for breaching his proba-
tion condition of no consume alco-hol,” indicated a police report.
Officers then connected the break-in, using a surveillance video, with the man who had tried to run away. “His backpack was searched and break and enter tools were found. Possession of these
tools was in contravention of his current probation order,” the police report continued.
“There were five RCMP mem-bers involved in this investigation simultaneously. Each one had a crucial piece of the puzzle to con-tribute, resulting in a quick arrest,”
said Const. Angela Rabut of the Terrace RCMP detachment.
The hospital auxiliary thrift store on Lazelle Ave. was also en-tered last week with someone tak-ing mostly clothing items. An at-tempt was also made to break into the Misty River Tackle Shop.

Play nice, says MPSKEENA-BULKLEY VALLEY NDP MP Nathan Cullen wants to restore civility to the House of Commons and believes the Speaker should hand out pen-alties just as would a hockey referee.
Speaking last week, Cullen, also his party’s House Leader, intro-duced the Civility Proj-ect to end name-calling and other unparliamen-tary behaviour.
“We’ve watched a drop off in civility and decency with one an-other and when that
happens it becomes impossible to have a good conversation and to govern the country,” said Cullen.
“We’re trying to tackle civility and deco-rum in the House,” Cul-len said.
“I want people in elected of� ce to behave a little better,” Cullen explained.
“It’s a simple thing to say, but much harder to do.”
The civility project contains a number of rules and changes to existing rules governing
the conduct of MPs.Cullen’s suggestions
would give the Speaker powers to suspend MPs when necessary and even to dock pay de-pending upon circum-stances.
“The level of heck-ling in the House not only causes MPs to become disengaged, it also causes Canadians to lose faith and trust in their elected representa-tives,” Cullen said.
“We tell our kids in kindergarten not to be-have this way, so why should we accept this
kind of behaviour from MPs?”
ALREADY ONE of the largest federal ridings in the country, Skeena-Bulkley Valley could grow even a little bit larger thanks to a rec-ommendation from the federal electoral bound-aries commission.
The recommenda-tion is to add all of the Bella Coola Valley on the mid coast.
“I have been travel-ling to Bella Coola once or twice a year ever
since I became a Mem-ber of Parliament and it has never made any sense to me that Bella Coola is in one rid-ing and Hagensbourg, Fourmile, Firvale and Stuie are in another,” said Skeena - Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen in welcoming the recommendation.
The expansion rec-ommendation is part of the boundaries com-mission plan to add
six seats to the exist-ing B.C. 36 seats in the House of Commons to re� ect the province’s growing population.
The juggling of boundaries and cre-ation of new ridings falls within guidelines to keep riding popula-tions within an average of plus or minus 25 per cent.
Decisions on bound-ary changes are made every 10 years and use
latest census popula-tions.
Cullen is also sug-gesting that as the rid-ing geography changes, it may be time to con-sider a new name.
That’s because the riding now extends into the Cariboo and up north, beyond the geog-raphy area of the Skee-na and Bulkley Valley regions. He’s inviting suggestions for possible new names.

A conservation offi-cer driving by observed the distraught woman on Highway 37 at old Lakelse Lake Dr. He picked her up and called for police assistance.
Police took the wom-an to mills memorial Hospital for treatment of her injured thumb that she slammed in the vehicle door when escaping. The truck is described as white, full sized, crew cab, open box, and between the years 2000 and 2005 model, but unknown make.

crooked teeth, and wearing a grey hoodie and blue jeans. The sec-ond passenger was only described as a First na-tions man.
Police said the three men may have picked up another woman hitch-hiking and had dropped her off near the Skeena Landing complex short-
ly before this incident occurred. Police want to speak with this woman. They’re asking anyone with information about this crime to contact the Terrace RCmP at 250-638-7400 or anony-mously through Crime Stoppers by telephone at 1-800-222-TIPS, online at www.ter-
racecrimestoppers.ca or by texting TERRACE plus your message to 274637 (CRImES).
on Dec. 24 near Kispiox, another wom-an hitchhiker escaped through the window of a red van after the male driver began driving in the opposite direction she wanted to go.

Share together■ Bringing together your extended family can create a highly memorable and valuable life event. � ey say “it takes a village to raise a child” and many would agree especially in today’s world of working parents and latch-key kids. � e support, experience and inter-est of your extended family can have a signi� cant impact on your immediate family. Regardless of your de� nition of ‘extended’ family, bringing to-gether those with whom you share history with can have lasting bene� ts not just for you and your children but for those you invite to share your day.
It is common in today’s world to have older chil-dren in nuclear families reach their teens before meeting extended family members. Geographical isolation is common for middle-class families who move based on occupational opportunities while family branches retain their independence.
Family Day is the ideal occasion to hold family reunions to re-establish and integrate a stronger family connection. � is allows your children to con-nect with extended family members and to share a bet-ter sense of their heritage and belonging.
Don’t forget to include senior members of your family. Family reunions and relationships inspire seniors to stay active and pursue their well-being. Studies have found se- n i o r s feel revitalized when they spend time with families. Your children will bene� t from hearing their oral history and that’s an inspiring experience that won’t always be available to them.
Another way to celebrate Family Day is to gather your extended family and friends around something you care about. It might be a shore clean-up, a family walk or a ga-rage sale. You might volunteer at a foodbank. Food is often central to gatherings and with everyone contributing to a family meal afterwards, it becomes a great way to share B.C.’s � rst Family Day.
Create together■ One of my favourite memories was creating an enormous piñata in prepa-ration for a multi-family holiday. We blew up a huge bouncy ball and covered it with papier mache. Our children and those of our friends were young so after my young sons painted the ball white, I drew a score of cartoon characters, shapes and funny animals all around it.
Filled with age-ap-propriate, small toys, puzzles and treats, the big white ball became a major activity for everyone in our three-family group. Every age took turns colouring in the shapes through-out the day, knowing when it was completed the ball would be strung up. � e anticipation and excitement was heightened because the reward came with activity and was not immediate.
Creating something as a family can mark an important time in your family history. It captures the age and ability of your children, your interests and a point in time.
By working together on a project your family can develop new skills, collabo-rate on something truly memorable and enjoy what each family member brings to the endeavor.
� ink about all the things a family could create together – a family album complete with stories, mementos and funny or poignant memories. Your family might be old enough to handle something more ambitious like prepar-ing a garden, building a dog house or designing and painting a family recre-ation area in your home.
Technology puts an amazing array of tools in the hands of today’s families. You can plan, write, � lm and edit a movie with your everyday computer and smartphone technology and software. Even more fun is sharing your fam-ily creation with friends around the world.
You might even sug-gest a � lm festival by in-viting families to create their own � lm and have a “popcorn premiere” to show them all.
Searching online will uncover an as-tounding number of crafts and projects you could tackle as a family. It can be as simple as building and � ying a kite. Or you may look for something you can recycle or re-purpose into a creative new item – whether a work of art or function. It’s bound to make your fam-ily members proud environment stew-ards as well as treasuring your time and project as a family.

� ere is nothing like the fun and inno-cence of childhood. Whether it’s a game of kick-the-can with the neighbourhood children or building a tree fort in the backyard, some of our best memories are play-ful.
Board games are a great indoor activ-ity, and Family Day is a great time to dig out some of your old favou-rites like Monopoly and Clue, and maybe try out a few new ones that are geared towards family fun. Your
local toy store will have a wide range of options, along with other family-friendly en-
tertainment such as puzzles and
books. Set up a card
table, get your fa-
v ou-rite
puzzle out and spend hours putting to-gether the pieces. Finishing a complicat-ed puzzle will also give your kids a sense of accomplishment.
If you’re looking for some-thing a bit more high-tech, your game console or com-puter is a good place to start. Video games have come a long way from the classic Su-per Mario and Donkey Kong, and you may discover that your kids have a much larger
technical knowledge than you do. � ey might beat you at Wii Sports but it will make for a great story!
Getting outside for a game of tag or basketball will check o� two things on your list: play and exercise. Taking a trip to a local playground or � eld will give you hours of entertainment for a low cost. Pack a picnic as well for an entire day of fun. Practicing your batting or pitching will also get you ready for the upcoming sports seasons, or maybe compete to see who can run the fastest to the swings.
� is year, Family Day is a time to make memories, spend time together and maybe learn a thing or two. What-ever the weather is like outside, you have plenty of options for having fun at all ages.
■ Try something new this Family Day. It might be as simple as agreeing that ev-eryone observe a no-technology or TV day. If you � nd your gatherings often involve all the adults sitting around visiting while the youngsters play among themselves and the teens segregate away from both you and the little ones, you’re probably not alone.
A family gathering can be a wonderful opportunity for family to hear the latest on jobs, trips, hobbies and health, but if you � nd your gatherings following the same tedious patterns where one or two family members dominate with the same old stories, this is the year to change it up.
Consider adding new experiences to the plans, and making a new and fun tra-dition out of them. Here are some ideas to get started:
Get out and enjoy our beautiful out-doors – no matter what your weather. If you live in a snowy region of B.C., orga-nize a hayride, snowshoe trek, sledding time or ice skating at a community rink.
If you don’t have snow in your area, you can travel to � nd it or consider planning a bike ride, a hike or even hitting a mini-golf course or a driving range. � e idea is to bring everyone together in a family activity you’ve never done before.
Plan a meal away from the house – Instead of cooking for the gathering, plan a formal brunch or dinner at a new
restaurant. Not only do you experience a new menu together but everyone in your group can sit together and enjoy the meal. B.C. has a widely diverse cultural make up and ethnic restaurants are part of that.
Make your Family Day gathering a retreat for all – consider getting your family out of the house and turn your gathering into a festive retreat. Many venues have activities for all ages to en-joy, from winter outdoor fun to refresh-ing spa services. � ink of how much fun it would be for your whole family group to take a yoga class together.
Host a family talent show – Every-one has a special talent in your family, so encourage them to bring their talent to your gathering. If you’re really am-bitious set up an area to be used as a stage and arrange chairs for audience members. Many living rooms have dim-mer switches so play with lighting and lamps so the performance area is in the spotlight. You might want to rent a popcorn machine or ask family members to bring along some treats and snacks. By bringing new activities to your family gathering this year, you’ll be creating many new memories to share in the future, as well as making the event much more enjoyable.

There’s no mistaking the importance of Kitimat, B.C., to the Gateway project. It’s where the pipeline ends, and it’s where marine operations begin.
I’d like to set the record straight on why we chose Kitimat, at the head of the Douglas Channel, as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. The answer took thousands of hours of research, planning, engineering, environmental science, oceanography consultation, weather monitoring, and simulation. But the simple reason is . . . safety, all the way.
The Douglas Channel is one of the widest and deepest inland waterways on North America’s west coast. Government research had already determined Kitimat to be among the safest ports in B.C., and about 1,500 tankers carrying petrochemicals have docked safely at Kitimat over the past quarter-century.
Strategically speaking, Kitimat provides the lowest environmental risk for all aspects of Gateway operations. It offers a safer endpoint for the pipeline route, from a geotechnical perspective. The marine terminal at Kitimat also provides safe approaches for tanker traffi c — with a suitable turning basin in Kitimat Arm, and natural deep-water berths that are sheltered from open-water wave conditions.
At its very narrowest, the Douglas Channel is 1.4 kilometres wide — three times wider than Transport Canada’s recommended width for two-way tanker traffi c. Water depths in the marine channels are up to several hundred metres.
As an added measure, full simulations of vessel traffi c in the Douglas Channel were carried out at a world-leading facility in Denmark. It tested the largest proposed vessels in environmental conditions that tankers would experience in the marine channels. The result was a thumbs-up on the shipping route, endorsed by both government departments and the British Columbia Coast Pilots.
Why Kitimat? Why the Douglas Channel? It’s the safe option for Gateway.

U.S. border jumper nabbedA MAN wanted for a series of break and en-ters in Alaska and who then illegally entered Canada at Gingolx in the Nass Valley was ar-rested trying to re-enter the United States near Nelson in the Koote-nays Jan. 24.
John Ollivier, an American citizen, was a passenger in a truck when he was arrested without incident by Ca-nadian border agents at the Nelway land cross-ing near Nelson.
Officials say the search for Ollivier be-gan Jan. 21 after a 16-
foot jet skiff, a boat he allegedly stole in Alas-ka, beached at Gingolx in the Nass Valley.
Ollivier initially avoided RCMP offi-cers in the Nass Valley, prompting a search for him in the Terrace area.
He was refused pas-sage aboard a passenger plane leaving the North-west Regional Airport in Terrace and began hitchhiking south, re-port officials.
The search for Ol-
livier, 46, involved Alaskan State troopers, US Customs agents, the RCMP and the Ca-nadian Border Service Agency.
“Each agency was committed to getting the job done and en-suring Mr. Ollivier was intercepted and brought before the courts to an-swer allegations against him,” said Sgt. Dono-van Tait, the command-ing officer of the Lisims RCMP detachment in
the Nass Valley.The break and en-
ters of several cabins occurred in the Unuk River area of Alaska.
A photo array was used by RCMP officers in Kincolith to original-ly identify Ollivier as the person they wished to question.
Ollivier is now in custody in Washington State and Alaskan State troopers will take Ol-livier back to Alaska for court appearances.
THE HIGHWAY pa-trol, also known as West Pacific Region Traffic Services, is watching for distracted drivers in February and ticket fines are hefty if you get caught not giving your full attention to your driving.
Drivers who operate vehicles while using a handheld device will be targeted and the fine is
$167. Those who break
other rules of the road while using a handheld device may be charged with driving without due care and attention, which has a fine of $368.
Offences that put others at risk include speeding, unsafe lane changes, following too closely and failing to
obey traffic lights and signs. Police are not required to prove that a call was in progress.
Graduated License Program drivers (L and N drivers) are not per-mitted the use of any electronic devices, in-cluding hands free de-vices.
“A hands-free device is not holding a cell phone in your hand on
speaker phone,” said Sgt. Pam Scott, of the highway patrol.
“A hands-free de-vice is a device that is mounted to your vehicle or secured on your per-son and is operated by one touch.”
Since the legisla-tion banning the use of handheld devices be-gan in January 2010, B.C. police have issued
63,348 violation tick-ets for use of handheld electronic devices.
And preliminary sta-tistics for 2012 indicate distracted driving was a contributing factor in 30 per cent of fatalities and 37 per cent of serious injuries.
Driving is a complex task that requires full at-tention: a driver is four
times more likely to crash when talking on a handheld mobile phone while driving, and 23 times more likely to get in a crash if texting while driving.
“At the end of the day we want everyone to arrive home safely. If your call is that impor-tant, please pull over,” said Scott.

Local United Way welcomes ‘better for seniors’ programA NEW program designed to help se-niors live at home for as long as possible has come to the city.
The Better at Home program is de-signed to help seniors aged 65 and older live in their own homes longer by provid-ing simple services done by local non-profit agencies.
Kristine Kofoed, community devel-opment and campaign officer for United Way of Northern BC, is excited about the program coming here.
“I’m absolutely ecstatic that this pro-gram is being rolled out in the north-west,” she said.
First thing is to find a coordinator for Terrace and Kitimat to consult with stakeholders and groups to find out what’s wanted, put it into a report and select a service provider to undertake the program based on what is needed, she said.
“That’s how we do things. We check with the community first,” said Kofoed.
Examples of services that could be provided include non-medical services such as light yardwork, shovelling snow, grocery shopping, picking up prescrip-tions.
The chosen service provider will be paid to have people do these tasks.
People haven’t requested the services but Kofoed thinks the government has given it some thought.
“I think the government is realizing seniors are waiting in hospital for beds to open up in assisted living when they could easily be cared for at home with these non-medical services,” she said, adding seniors staying in their own homes is also more humane and cost-effective.
The amount of money the local pro-gram will receive will come from the $15
million provided by the provincial gov-ernment to the United Way of the Lower Mainland and will be decided based on what the outcome of community consul-tations is and how much is needed to pro-vide the Better for Seniors program here, said Ministry of Health spokesperson Kim Franklin.
The program is set up for the next three years, she added.
At the end of that time, likely the gov-ernment will look at where the program is at and see if the service is still needed or needs any changes, said Franklin.
The Ministry of Health announced last week that the five community pilot program was completed and those com-munities have chosen service providers and start dates for their programs.
Terrace, Kitimat and Gitxsan are three of the 56 communities that are starting the program.
TEACHING LIFE-LONG skills is part of what’s behind having students prepare break-fast and lunch for their classmates in the school kitchen at Suwilaawks Community School.
“Feeding our stu-dents is a priority. In-volving our kids in the process is essential,” says principal Pamela Kawinsky.
For example, stu-dents made bread from scratch as part of lunch last Wednesday, Jan. 30.
Plus the students make muffins each morning and learn easy, inexpensive recipes, says Kawinsky.
Students have been involved in many tasks in the kitchen, from de-livering, to cleaning up and this year, they are fully involved.
“Kids always want to be part of the school community and are more than eager to support in a variety of roles,” says Kawinsky. “Being part of the big picture encourages in-volved students who know and care about their school commu-nity.”
It may be small groups of students or an entire class in the kitch-en depending on what’s
being prepared.“Ultimately, we need
to find ways to support our kids in learning to create inexpensive
healthy snacks, break-fasts and lunches,” says Kawinsky.
And that comes with the help of Jenny Pou-
lin and Judy Walker of Kalum Community School Society.
“[They] are two of the most creative and
skilled healthy cookers ever,” says Kawinsky.
The school has a limited budget but com-munity supporters help
stretch the money un-believably far, says Ka-winsky.
“We make lunches based on sales and sup-
plies,” she says, adding the school gets some grants, private dona-tions and corporate do-nations.

Grade 7 Uplands students Sarah Jepsen and Megan Bellamy won silver for “The Lemon Battery” in last year’s science fair.
First regional science fair coming FOR THE first time here, a regional science fair will follow the lo-cal science fair, giving Grades 7 to 12 students the opportunity to com-pete for scholarships and cash prizes.
In the past, the re-gional fair has taken place in Smithers or Haida Gwaii because one of the teachers who organized it was from Haida Gwaii. But the teacher has since moved south, said Christine Slanz, ex-ecutive director of the Northern Science and Innovation Society (NSIS), which spon-sors and runs the local science fairs, which also take place in Kiti-mat and Prince Rupert.
Terrace students were encouraged to go to the regional science fair but for years, it was held in Smithers in the middle of the week, so it’s been Smithers’ stu-dents who win there and
go on to the Canada-wide science fair, said Slanz.
It did become easier for our students to at-tend when it was held in Hazelton on weekends for the last two years, but this time, it will be very easy for students to participate as it will be held at Northwest Community College (NWCC).
“The judges choose up to four students in this region, who will go to the Canada wide and this year, they’re at the end of May in Leth-bridge,” she said about the national fair.
Last year’s new categories have been scrapped this year as there wasn’t much in-terest in them and most weren’t even awarded, said Slanz.
Students who regis-ter for the local science fair, which is for stu-dents from kindergarten to Grade 12, should do
so online ahead of time so organizers have an idea how many are at-tending, said Slanz.
When registering on-line, students don’t have
to have a definite idea what their project will be; they can just say it’s to be decided, she added.
The NSIS annual
science fair takes place here March 9 at Veritas.
The Pacific North-west Regional Science Fair follows April 5 and 6 at NWCC.
Tickets are available at Misty River Books and the Terrace Academy of Music.

He was a loving father whose love and commitment to his children can never be matched. He was gentle, kind and caring with everyone and everything. He loved Keno and playing cards with his family but his real passion was horses. Ivor returned home to Smithers in 2007. He enjoyed the remaining part of his life back with his brother and best friend, Eric. The two of them enjoyed cruising around town visiting with friends at Tim Horton’s or A&W and of course playing Keno at the 7-Eleven or Petro Canada.

NOTICEKitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Amendment Bylaw No. 625, 2013.
The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine gives notice that it proposes to amend the “Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Establishment Bylaw No. 321, 1992” by adopting “Kitimat-Sti-kine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Establishment Amend-ment Bylaw No. 625, 2013”. Bylaw No. 625 is currently at third reading and may be adopted as early as the February 22, 2013 Board meeting.
The purpose of the Bylaw is to:• Increase the maximum annual requisition limit that can be levied from
$210,000 to $262,500 to meet current operational needs and provide room for incremental future increases as required.
• This Library Cost Sharing Service was established by bylaw in 1979 and was approved by referendum. The current maximum annual requisition limit of $210,000, was established by Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Bylaw No. 321, 1992. In 1992 the actual tax levy was just under $50,000 and has steadily in-creased to just under $195,000 in 2012.
• Costs are expected to continue to be recovered primarily by means of a property value tax based on net taxable value of land and improvements. Based on current assessments, the residential tax rate for different requisi-tion amounts are estimated as follows :✓ $0.37/$1,000 of net taxable value of land and improvements on a
requisition of $210,000.✓ $0.45/$1,000 on a requisition of $250,000.✓ $0.47/$1,000 on a requisition of $262,500.
Persons wishing to inquire or inspect this Bylaw can view it on the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine’s website www.rdks.bc.ca or contact the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine at #300, 4545 Lazelle Avenue, Terrace, BC V8G 4E1, telephone 250.615.6100 or 1.800.663.3208, office hours are from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday excluding holidays.
TAKE NOTICE THAT, in accordance with the Community Charter, the Council of the City of Terrace intends to lease the follow-ing lands: 5004 Keith Avenue (legally de-scribed as District Lot 362, Plan 967, Block 5), 5014 Keith Avenue (legally described as Dis-trict Lot 362, Plan 3610, Lot A), and 5020 Keith Avenue (legally described as District Lot 362, Plan 3610, Lot B) to Yaorun Wood Ltd., for a 10 year term, for an amount of $10,000/month or $120,000/year, plus utili-ties and taxes.

Here’s CriCkett elliot from the terrace skating club during the Friday evening portion of the kla-How-Ya competition held here in terrace two weekends ago.
Skaters glide into town for Kla How Ya SeT TO a wide range of beautiful tunes – classics from the Sound of Music and Annie, orchestrated carumbas and swinging jazz, and newer indie crooners like the haunting Priscilla Ahn – more than 100 of the north-west’s most elegant up-and-coming skaters took to the Terrace Arena for the annual Kla-How-Ya skating competition Jan. 25-27.
It was certainly a busy weekend – 114 skaters in total from Terrace, Kitimat, Smithers, and Prince Rupert competed in the competition.
And Terrace’s skaters did very well with almost ever girl earning a medal, said the club’s elaine Sanchez, and are even more prepared for regionals on Feb. 15 in Kitimat.
The club is welcoming a regional match so close to home because it means some of the younger skaters will get a taste of com-petition on away ice much earlier – being comfortable away from home is an impor-tant aspect in their development as skaters.
Last year, regionals were held in Ques-nel, which meant not as many skaters could attend.
Here’s how the Terrace skaters did on home ice:

At LeFt, members of the terrace Bluebacks swim club cheer together before the start of saturday’s fi-nals events. Above, Bluebacks Bella Lang and Avery Back await the results of their teammates race.
Camaradarie wins at local meet THe eNeRGY at the Terrace Aquatic Centre was nothing short of exhilarat-ing as more than 100 athletes, includ-ing 33 from Terrace, participated in the Northwest Regional Championships here in Terrace from Jan. 25-27.
Athletes from the Prince Rupert Swim Club, the Kitimat Marlins Swim Club and the Bulkley Valley Otters all made the trip to Terrace for the week-end.
And volunteers and family members were on hand to assist and cheer on the young athletes as they moved one meet closer to the provincial championships.
“We had a fantastic weekend,” said Bluebacks coach Mike Christensen.
Four Bluebacks received medals at the competition – Angelina Filtzia-kis with bronze for 10 and under girls,
Anke deWit with bronze for 12-14 girls, Brandon Williams with silver for 15 and over boys, and Brayden Phillips with gold for 10 and under boys.
Christensen also welcomed the opportunity to play host to fellow Points North teammates “in the spirit of healthy competition and challeng-ing each other to new levels of perfor-mance as they prepare for provincial championships.”
“One of the other coaches new to the region mentioned that the camara-derie between clubs in Terrace, Kiti-mat, Prince Rupert and Smithers is a rare dynamic and the north should be very proud of the way they work to-gether,” he said.
For overall points, Prince Rupert took the top spot at the meet, with 783
points, and Kitimat came second with 720 points. Terrace was third with 472 points, and Bulkley Valley not far be-hind with 419 points.
In the 15 and over boys category, Kyler Cordeiro of Kitimat took gold. Sarah McChesney of Prince Rupert won gold in 15 and over girls. Bailey esperson of Bulkley Valley was first in 13-14 boys, and Kleanza Cathers of Kitimat won gold in the 13-14 girls category. For full results, visit terraces-tandard.com.
While five Bluebacks have qualified for short course provincials in Surrey and Victoria, they won’t be able to at-tend. Instead, the club is focussing on the next regional meet in Smithers March 8-9 and preparing to qualify for long course provincials in June.

When first I heard of Dolly Varden Char, and their larg-er cousins, Bull Trout, both were in disrepute.
It was a time when fishermen punched cards to record how many steelhead they killed annually. We were kids then. Men told us that those damn Dollies – a name by which they referred to both species – were vermin. They eat the eggs and fry of salmon, they told us. If you’re not going to keep them, kill them and chuck them back in the bush.
How salmon and char survived so well prior to the arrival of European settlers, failed to trouble these vigilantes.
Years later I learned that char loathing was widespread. Believing the myth that Dollies were bad for salmon stocks, the Alaska Fish and Game Department put a bounty on them of 2 cents to a nickel a tail, depending on the size of the fish. The bounty was in force from 1921 to 1939. During that time 6 million tails were turned in for the reward.
Because Dollies were to sport fishers what seals are to commercial fishers, they had no advocates and earned no respect. Fishers were allowed to kill as many as they wanted and more. This unchecked slaughter went on in this province for years until some fish manager with a conscience suggested a limit of 30 char a day might be a good idea.
More was learned about char. The bag
limit was reduced to 12. Later, this was reduced to 8, and so it went.
These ludicrous bag limits with no connec-tion to reality lagged behind the scientific understanding of the abundance and habitat requirements of the fish they were designed to protect, and as a result of this reactive manage-ment approach, char populations plummeted.
Twenty years ago, fisheries researchers wrote papers openly ac-knowledging that Dolly Varden Char and Bull Trout were depleted throughout most of their range. There were almost no Dollies in the Lower Mainland. Dollies had been reduced to the point of invisibility on Vancouver Is-land. The populations in the Kootenays had crashed.
Scientists learned that char were slow to grow, carried few eggs in comparison to salmon, and were extremely sensitive to temperature changes and soil disturbances in their native streams.
Enter the fisheries staff of Skeena Re-gion with all of these factors – and more – to consider. They have good reason to
suspect that the Dollies in accessible streams are greatly diminished from their own experience and because fishers who fish them throughout the Region are constant-ly complaining about declining catches.
Moreover, scientists with enough funds to study the problem in greater depth are singing the same song. Added to these critical factors is the fact that a number of pipelines are about to be threaded through Skeena.
Why is this a big concern? As proposed, these pipelines will cross
streams thousands of times. Every crossing means some measure of disturbance. All industrial projects come with infrastruc-ture.
In the case of linear development this means roads – lots of roads. An increased number of roads means that all those for-merly inaccessible streams will be accessi-ble. Where this has scored in the past, such access has all too often led the extirpation of char and trout in the affected area.
It is possible – though given their fra-gility and lack of fecundity unlikely – that
some stream populations of Dollies can withstand a measure of angling predation and habitat destruction and survive in vi-able numbers.
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to prop-erly manage a fishery if you haven’t a de-cent idea of how many fish there are. And the trouble is, there isn’t the money to do adequate population estimates.
The government biologists working for fisheries have the responsibility to do the right thing by fish, not fisherman. So they must do something. After two de-cades of cutbacks by governments who see their function as an obstacle to unfettered growth, the fisheries bios haven’t enough staff or resources to do the comprehensive kind of data gathering and long term moni-toring, and overall planning, required.
As professional biologists they are members of the global professional body of scientists. This body has embraced the principle of biodiversity, the overarching axiom that embraces the abiding truth that maintaining all species in an ecosystem is critical to its overall health and its survival. Any decision you make must be consistent with that principle, and consistent with the precautionary principle.
So, when the Fisheries staff of FLNRO decided to propose a non retention for all char and trout in streams in Skeena Re-gion, they had no option. They had to err on the side of caution and do their best to ensure there will be Dollies in the future.

THE QUEEN Charlotte Secondary Saints made a rare appearance off the island to take on the Ker-modes the evening of Friday, Jan. 25 and they did not disappoint the crowd.
It was an offensive affair with both squads filling the hoop. Kermodes scored an amazing 60 points in the first half to the Saints 39. But the Saints did not quit, showing a great deal of poise and resilience as a team.
The shootout continued in the second half as both teams continued to put up big numbers. At the final buzzer, the Kermodes outscored the Saints 111-81.
The Saints were lead by a very talented duo: Joel Richardson who notched 34 points and Nathan Vogstad with 28.
Kermodes were led by Reegin Maki with 30, Marcus MacKay 28, Patrick Kurek 18, Kynan Fin-nie 12 and Brennan Jay 10.
On Saturday morning the teams were back at it. A little more defence was applied at both ends of the court as both teams attempted to slow down the other’s transition game.
Kermodes took a slim 40-39 lead into the half before outscoring the Saints 45-35 in the second half to take the victory 85-74.
Saints were led by Duncan Rumak with 26 and Nathan Vogstad with 23. Kermodes were led once again by Reegin Maki with 31, and Marcus MacK-ay with 26.
Right after the Kermodes dispensed of the Saints, they took to the court to take on the Smith-ers Gryphons. It was a chance to get the whole team involved.
The game was fairly close in the first half as the Kermodes led 29 - 23 going into the second. But they then went on to outscore the Gryphons 34 - 14 in the second half to win 63 - 37. Kermodes were led in scoring by Cam Netzel with 15 points, Drew Kenmuir with 13 and Mat Brown with 10.
This weekend the Kermodes host the Rainmak-ers on February 8 and 9 at the Caledonia gym. And it’s less than a month until Zones. They take place March 1 and 2 with the Senior Girls hosting their zones on Feb. 22 and 23. Both are at the Caledonia gym.

City park sceneof the latestlocal Idle demoThe Idle No More protests took centre stage at George little Park as speakers and those who came out stood up to make their voices heard Jan. 28.
About 65 or 70 peo-ple braved the falling snow and chilly tem-peratures for the event.
A fire pit provided some warmth and a gathering place for drummers, who played before the speakers be-gan.
Martin Adams, from the Nisga’a Nation, said First Nations all over the world see them-selves in the same way: to take care of the gifts the Creator has given them.
Speaking on behalf of unionized univer-sity transfer course in-structors and other em-ployees at Northwest Community College, Rocque Berthiaume said Idle No More re-minded him of the time
in the 1980s when the government was work-ing on the constitution and First Nations were left out until the people spoke up so parliament would listen.
“When the people spoke up, the politicians had to listen,” he said.
Bill C-45, referred to as the omnibus bill, is a great big bill that wants to take a lot of power and rights away from the First Nations, he said.
The people are not getting the recognition they deserve and that’s what parliament has to hear, he said.
lillian Moyer, who said she organized the Idle No More event in Telegraph Creek in the Tahltan traditional terri-tory, took the stage with a placard addressed to Prime Minister Stephen harper.
In 2005, when Shell wanted to drill in the Klappan, the people
held a sit-in at a band council office in the re-gion for nine months, she said.
“We did it to protect our land,” she said.
The people’s actions made the company back down and the politicians listen, but that was then.
“The way the gov-ernment works today, they got no ears to hear what we have to say,” said Moyer.
her arrests in 2005 and 2006 were for do-ing exactly what peo-ple were doing at the park for Idle No More: standing up for their rights, she said, adding the people need to take their power back.
“...I strongly be-lieve Idle No More has opened everyone’s eyes,” she said.
“Young people have a lot of work ahead of you. Go for it.”
Idle No more pro-tests took place across Canada the same day.

And as such, “teach-in” events have been held across Canada to teach people about the movement, how they can get in-volved, and about First Nations rights and issues.
Terrace is host-ing its first teach-in this Friday, Feb. 8 at 6 p.m. The location is to be announced and can be found on the event’s Face-book page.

It’s more than a pipeline.
Tankers will reduce speeds in the channels…Tankers travel slowly, but to make sure that marine species and their habitats are respected, tankers will be required to reduce speed as they pass through certain sections of the channels. Even their escort tugboats will have quieter engines to reduce underwater noise.
Additional radar and navigational aids will improve safety for all vessels…For increased safety and sure guidance, additional radar systems and navigational
aids, such as beacons, buoys and lights, will be installed throughout the routes. This will not
only improve safety for tankers, but for all marine traffi c on the north coast.
Discover more about our rigorous marine safety plan and join the conversation at marine.northerngateway.ca.
Although tankers have been safely navigating the north coast and its channels for decades, marine safety remains a top priority for British Columbians. We have been planning the Northern Gateway Project for over a decade, with a particular focus on protecting the environment. We have added specifi c safety requirements to our marine operations plan to help
make the waters of the north coast safer not just for tankers serving the project, but for all marine vessels.
Qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots will board and guide all tankers… To prevent spills, all tankers
serving the project will be modern and double-hulled, and will be vetted
by independent, third party agencies before entering Canadian waters.
Once strict safety and environmental standards
are met, they will be guided through the Douglas and Principe Channels by qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots.
Powerful tugboats will escort tankers…Tugboats have been shown to signifi cantly reduce tanker incidents worldwide. Powerful tugboats that have
been specially commissioned for Northern Gateway will assist in the
safe arrival and departure of tankers. All tankers will be attended by a close escort tug. In the channels, laden tankers will have two tugs–one tethered at all times. These tugboats will
have emergency response equipment on board and will be capable of assisting any marine vessel.
