Fish catch ban plan draws fireBy Anna Killen
A pRopoSAl to ban the harvest of trout and char caught in area riv-ers and streams in favour of catch and release only is being opposed by area anglers who say it would violate traditions of parents teach-ing their children how to catch, dress, and cook fish.
What’s worse, the anglers add, is that the proposal was quietly posted on a government website for a public comment period of
Dec. 13-31 last year, right in the middle of the Christmas holiday season.
The proposal as posted on the forests, lands and natural resource operations website, states that the “Skeena Region requires a more precautionary approach to manage-ment of trout/char. The proposal change is to set regional angling harvest quotas of trout/char to zero. From this baseline, water-specific risks associated with harvest will be evaluated, with retention quotas
re-applied where appropriate.” The quota now for the retention
of trout and char is two per day, with only one over 50 cm and none under 30 cm. If the proposal goes through, the changes would apply to the Kitimat, Skeena, Nass, Sti-kine, and Dease River drainages. lakes in the region with wild trout and char populations would not be affected and keeping fish would still be allowed in those waters.
“Right now, the proposal is to put the brakes on it,” said Mark
Beere, a senior Smithers-based provincial fisheries biologist of the current catch rule for rivers and streams. “But I don’t know where that’s heading in terms of approval and whether or not that’s the kind of thing that Victoria would be in-terested in or not,” he said of the ban plan, noting that the final deci-sion will be made down south.
The proposal “really originated from proposals in Terrace at our an-gling advisory committee meeting, where people said we’re not seeing
larger trout and char in the Kalum, lakelse and the Copper River like we used to. If you go north or plac-es where there isn’t much out there, then you start to see lots, and large fish, but not so much in and around [the Terrace area],” he said.
Reasons for the proposal cite anecdotal evidence of declining fish population and smaller fish in general put forward by some area anglers and federal and provincial enforcement officers and staffers.

■ Idle no more For the Idle No More movement’s third terrace protest, organizers led a pack of around 150 marchers across the Sande overpass last Friday, Jan. 11. Many passing cars honked their support, with one dem-onstrator remarking, “I never thought I’d see the day.” the peaceful march, which started and ended with speeches, drumming, and prayers at terrace City hall, was just one of many held across Canada Jan. 11. the movement has drawn national and international attention to First Nations issues, but at least one speaker in terrace emphasized that “this is not just a First Nations issue, it’s a Canadian issue and a human issue.” More demonstrations are planned for later in the month.
Owners getdemo reprieveThe oWNeRS of two derelict properties in Terrace have a little longer to tear down their structures after hearings in city council chambers last week.
While the two hearings happened separately, both own-ers of 4440 little Ave. and 4520 little Ave. appeared before mayor and council on Jan. 9 to contest demolition orders issued by council Nov. 26.
From the date those orders were delivered, Dec. 4, both owners were given 60 days to tear down the structures on each property and other time frames to have properties cleaned up. Council voted to give each owner more time af-ter hearing from lloyd Wittkowski who owns 4440 little Ave., and Wayne Kirby, who owns 4520 little Ave.
prior to council listening to requests from property own-ers, city staff recommended a time extension on each de-molition and clean-up order because the holiday season had caused some delays in scheduling the reconsideration hear-ings heard in council Jan. 9.
City planner and development services director David Block said officials suggested time frames given in original orders for both start over from the hearing dates.
Block presented a multi-year backlog of information about safety, health and nuisance issues—including infor-mation from inspections of the sites conducted by city staff and Terrace’s fire chief.
he noted that since the original orders had been issued, some work had been undertaken.
“I did go by the site today ... he did remove the trailer on the property,” said Block of Wittkowski.
Wittkowski then asked council for a time extension so that he did not have to tear his building down in the winter time.
he noted that he planned to re-use parts of the building, especially the roof, and that winter weather made salvaging the roof unsafe.
“I would like to plead with you people, don’t let me do it in the winter time,” he said, “I would like to make it a win-win situation.”
Council voted to give three months from last week’s Jan. 9 hearing date – until April – for the work to be complete.

There are also wor-ries that accelerated industrial development which will harm fish habitat and also cause over-fishing.
“Vancouver Island did the same thing, so did Peace-Omineca,” said Beere, noting that there simply aren’t enough provincial fish-eries officials to assess each and every stream, hence the precautionary approach.
“Trying to get as-sessment data is almost impossible – if we did one stream we’re look-ing at maybe 10 or 20 times what our budget is,” he said.
Although Dec. 31, 2012 was to be the end of the comment period, Beere said comments are still being accepted online or through pro-vincial fish and wildlife offices.
Right now, about 80 per cent of those com-ments have been in fa-vour of the proposal, said Beere.
But the 20 per cent against have been “re-ally vocal,” he said.
“Some people just want to catch a fish for Thanksgiving dinner and not catch 20.”
One local angler opposing the change, Don Coburn, has been circulating information about the proposal and a second angler, Mike Scott, has placed a peti-tion at a number of area businesses.
“The everyday per-son and their families are now expected to go and camp at a lake in the summertime and eat fish that are silty tasting or even possibly wormy due to the warmer wa-ter temperatures,” said Scott.
But those in favour of the proposal dis-agree, saying that years of harvesting without limits means that fish-ermen no longer have the right to kill certain fish and that catch and release region-wide will make a big difference in improving fish stocks.
“Kill your limit, not limit your kill,” said Rob Brown, a steelhead angler who has sat on a number of fishing advi-
sory bodies, including the one which came up with the catch ban pro-posal.
“Nothing in the ministry’s proposal prevents anyone from going fishing, it simply disallows the killing of increasingly vulnerable fish in streams. Fishers can still whack coho, chinook, pinks, and sockeye as well as trout and char in lakes.
“Anglers in other parts of the world would be ecstatic to have such an opportunity,” said Brown.
Kirby, owner of 4520 Little Ave., had a different request.
He said the price to tear down the building was nearly double one year’s worth of sal-ary for him based on a quote he’d received, noting it was unreason-able for council to ex-pect such an expensive undertaking to happen so quickly.
“I don’t have the fi-nances to pay for that,” he said.
He added he thinks the properties on Little Ave. have been unfairly targeted. “I just have to wonder why Little Ave.,” he said, adding he’s seen many unsafe and unsightly buildings in town.
City staff responded that on Little Ave., ex-tensive complaints and
issues have accumulat-ed over the years.
After a site inspec-tion earlier this year, for example, “the fire chief ... concluded the prem-ises was in such a state of disrepair that if a fire started in them it would spread rapidly to endan-ger life or other nearby property.”
Lastly, Kirby noted he would like to recycle as much of his build-ing as possible to keep materials from landfills, and that would take time.
Or, he would like to sell, saying the build-ing has been listed for a year and a half.
After some debate about how much time to give, council voted to extend the date of cleanup and demoli-tion on 4520 Little Ave.
by six months, noting some of the cleanup or-dered Nov. 26 had taken place.
Kirby also had ten-ants up until this fall so demolishing his build-ing hadn’t been possible until recently.
Mayor Dave Per-narowski said that if a demolition order isn’t carried out, the city has the authority to take ac-tion itself and recoup costs. These hearings followed a series of ac-tions on the city’s part, starting with site in-spections last year. De-molition and clean-up orders were then issued on Nov. 26.
A third property owner, George Vogel, has also appealed his demolition order and will have his hearing Jan. 21.

Police investiga-tors continue to look into the reasons for a Jan. 7 accident between Prince rupert and ter-race which killed one man and resulted in Highway 16 being shut down for hours.
Killed is Kevin campbell, 38, who is originally from the Port simpson area but who had been living in ter-race. the accident took place approximately 70 kilometres east of Prince rupert and hap-pened just before 11 a.m.
the highway did open up for single lane alternating traffic dur-ing the early evening hours of Jan. 7 once investigators had con-cluded their immediate work. there was still single lane alternating traffic the next morning.
according to police, a transport truck travel-ing westbound on High-way 16 had jack-knifed, possibly due to icy and extreme winter weather conditions.
as this was happen-ing the vehicle’s trailer slid into the oncoming lane of eastbound traf-fic.
a second transport truck traveling east-bound on Highway 16 subsequently collided with the trailer.
this driver, camp-bell, sustained major injuries and later suc-cumbed to those inju-ries at the Prince rupert regional Hospital. He was taken there by air ambulance, said police.
a third semi was un-able to stop and crashed into the first two ve-hicles. the driver of the eastbound semi was trapped and the Jaws of life were used to ex-tract him, said police.
the other two driv-ers were transported to Mills Memorial Hospi-tal by Bc ambulance for treatment of injuries received.
spilled lumber from one of the tractor units illustrated the force of the accident and the ex-tent of what happened.
it was snowing and road conditions were poor, says sgt Pam scott, nco in charge of West Pacific region traffic services.
rcMP officers from Prince rupert and ter-race were at the scene as were members of ter-race and Prince rupert fire and rescue teams.

MACCARTHY MOTORS, the local GM dealership, has ex-panded into Prince Rupert by buying the Sherman GM deal-ership there.
The deal closed Jan. 2, meaning the MacCarthy deal-ership now covers one of the largest GM geographic service areas in Canada, says owner Gary MacCarthy.
“Terrace and Kitimat are on the edge of more growth so we
thought it’s an opportune time to grab it,” he said, also point-ing to port expansion in Prince Rupert as a pre-purchase confi-dence booster.
“We had a record year at this store in Terrace in 2012 … we’re sure business is going to continue to grow,” he said.
Of that growth, most can be seen in truck sales, he said, adding trucks sales accounted for about 70 per cent of the
business last year.“Truck sales are way up for
the whole north,” MacCarthy said. “Everybody’s working, people are confident … we went a long time here without that.”
Last year, the Terrace GM location sold just under 800 vehicles and MacCarthy has set a 1,050 goal for the Terrace and Prince Rupert locations this year.
MacCarthy will renovate the 16,000 square foot main Prince Rupert dealership building this spring and will tear down a small building across the street that now acts as a sales office and use the property as a parking lot.
MacCarthy has taken on Joey Prevost and John Cooper as partners, with Prevost spe-cializing in sales and Cooper in service operations.
TERRACE IS about to get its first tourist and business traveller ac-commodation develop-ment in years.
Two real estate deals on back-to-back prop-erties give Smithers-based Sunshine Inn Estates Ltd. just over two acres of land with frontage on Hwy16 be-side Kalum Tire and on Lazelle Ave beside the Terrace Bowling Alley.
Plans are for a full-service, multi-storey hotel with privately-owned condominium suites on the top floor, says Sunshine owner
Kim Tran.He’s now negotiating
with the City of Terrace for a height variance but says the development could very well be four storeys high.
“What I would be looking for are con-dominiums on the top floor, 14 of them,” said Tran of his plans to date.
And with a projected 100 hotel rooms, the Sunshine development would be larger than its existing properties in Smithers, Houston and Burns Lake. At 58 rooms, Smithers is the
largest Sunshine devel-opment so far.
Tran said he has been considering Terrace as a hotel location for sev-eral years, even before the economy improved thanks to existing or planned large scale in-dustrial developments.
“I looked at existing properties and saw there would be opportunity,” he said.
The name of the lo-cal development will be Sunshine Inn Executive Suites.
If all goes accord-ing to plan, Tran wants a construction start this
spring.A final design has
yet to be set but Tran said a construction price tag anywhere from $12 million to $16 million is possible.
“This is going to be a very nice place. It’s go-ing to have the latest in hotel design,” he said.
Tran said the planned condominiums could at-tract people who spend warmer months here but colder months in more southern climates.
The first Sunshine development in Burns Lake opened 13 years ago, Smithers followed
four years ago and the one in Houston is just six months old.
ReMax agent Rick McDaniel, who handled the real estate purchases for Tran, said the prop-erty is ideally situated.
“It’s a good location with highway frontage and just half a block from the Skeena Mall and downtown,” said McDaniel.
The vacant highway frontage property had been owned by Progres-sive Ventures and the Lazelle Ave. property, which contains a house, by a family.
A number of build-ing locations were also looked at, a list that included the former Skeena Cellulose saw-mill site, the old Co-op property and the airport lands.
“It’s exciting to get a new hotel. It’s going to open the town up to all
sorts of possibilities,” said McDaniel.
He noted that trav-eller accommodation can be hard to find be-cause of the improving economy and that host-ing larger scale events can be difficult to host because of the limited number of beds.

Brent Ballingall, left, an aboriginal affairs official with Cn, and Kitsumkalum chief council-lor Don roberts are about to cut the ribbon at the unveiling of a Cn rail spur.
THE grand opening of a rail spur that will trans-port rock from the Kit-sumkalum First Nation’s rock quarry to the CN main line was held last weekend.
Close to 100 people gathered just behind the Tempo gas bar at Kit-sumkalum Jan. 12 to note the opening and of a deal for CN to buy material.
The spur leads off from CN’s mainline near the turn off from Hwy16 to the Kalum Forest Ser-vice Road and runs north approximately 3km to the quarry site. Work on the line began last sum-mer.
Part of the construc-tion involved construc-tion of a bridge across a creek and the Kalum Forest Service Road was diverted to the eastern side of the construction camp area now occupied by Valard, the company building the Northwest Transmission Line.

While living in a gated Chi-nese community, an American woman decides to try various exer-cises in cultural immersion.
“Step out or stay put,” is how Cricket (her online pen name) du-ally classified her experiences in a blog she writes about her new life as an ex-pat, a word that describes someone who has rooted their life in a foreign country.
Cricket describes herself as a woman with a large heart, a love for sewing, and a cautious ap-proach to acclimatizing to her new life in China. So when she came across the website of an-other north American woman who sought quilts for orphaned Chinese children, she saw an exercise in cultural immersion that required both “stepping out” of her comfort zone, and “staying put” to do some of the work.
The name of the woman seek-ing quilts?
Terrace B.C.’s Jenine Basaraba.“You need how many quilts?”
asked Cricket, who describes the experience of getting in touch with Basaraba on her blog.
“ninety-five,” replied Basaraba, who lives in nanjing, China with her husband Steve, also raised in Terrace, and their three children.
The family moved to China chasing 44-year-old Basaraba’s dream of working with orphaned children.
“i know, i know that’s a lot, but i want each child to have some-thing that is just theirs. When they leave the orphanage they can take it with them,” Basaraba replied to Cricket.
Basaraba’s mother and Terrace resident Roberta Taron had already made three of the quilts, leaving 92 homemade quilt requests on the table. The idea to have them made was inspired by Basaraba’s Cana-dian quilt-loving friends, coupled with a fondness of her own quilt from childhood made by her moth-er which she took when she left home.
“i could make you 95 home-made custom pillowcases, if you like,” said Cricket in return.
“You do what your heart is tell-ing you, and if you go home and decide not to do anything, i accept that, as well,” replied Basaraba.
By the project’s end, the chil-dren who live at the Zheng Sheng love Orphanage each received a quilt of their own to take with them once they departed the orphanage.
And alongside Basaraba, Crick-et had stepped out from the com-fort of her home for an eight-day stay where the two played games and made crafts with the children.
This experience with Cricket is just a window into the regular life of Basaraba, who moved to China more than five years ago.
“i travel to distant orphanages 6-8 times a year and nearer ones as well,” said Basaraba, emphasizing she does not work in orphanages
but, rather, volunteers her time. “i gather resources and friends and help out when and where i can.”
her first experience volunteer-ing with children in an orphanage was in Mexico, and her first in Chi-na was in Fujian, a province on the eastern coast.
“The kids there lived in a school. They had bunk beds but no mattresses. There was one bath-room for 150 kids and it was just a latrine. They had no running water except for a tap outside. They ate behind the school under an awning outside. They had two vegetable dishes and rice for their meals,” wrote Basaraba, describing the ex-perience.
“i was surprised at how polite the kids were and how good a job their caregivers did. They were very guarded and much more in-terested in any candy we gave them than anything we wanted to talk about, but the younger ones warmed up quickly.”
Then five years old, her daugh-ter Kezia came along and played with the children.
“They chased her around and laughed at everything she said. She loved it too and especial-ly loved the bigger girls doing her hair or drawing her pictures.
“When i tried to teach them they had about a 10 minute atten-tion span and i had to just rely on games and songs after awhile. it was a lot like teaching small chil-dren. i had to change activities very quickly and be really animat-ed to keep their attention.”
While Jenine has now estab-lished herself and is in the process of opening a hospice for sick chil-dren, which she will direct, getting started in a foreign country such as China is much different than it is here.
“in Terrace (and north Ameri-ca) everything is fairly straightfor-ward. We have rules and proce-dures.
“in China, things are best ac-complished through relation-ship, which can open doors very quickly, or slam them shut. Some-times it doesn’t matter how good your intentions are or how much money you have, but who you know. When you’re trying to help children that can be frustrat-ing. But it can also be great if you meet the right people.”
And Basaraba did. initially through friends met in hong Kong she began visiting two orphanages and made more relationships from there, which opened more doors.
Through time, dedication and trust building, Basaraba was re-cently asked to be the director of a children’s hospice in nanjing, Chi-na, after volunteering time with a charity called Butterfly Children’s hospices.
“We aim to open sometime this year starting with six beds,” she said. “The purpose of the home is to provide end of life care, first to
orphans and then to branch out and work with families in the commu-nity.”
The hospice aims to help dying children feel loved and comfort-able and, through love, care and special attention, bring some back to health.
“Then we aim to get these chil-dren fostered or adopted,” said Ba-saraba, adding a southern Butterfly hospice has taken in 56 children and six have been adopted, one is in foster care and 15 are currently at the home.
“Medical care is not free in China,” said Basaraba. “Some des-perate parents will abandon their children, hoping that the govern-ment or hospital will provide some type of emergency care when they cannot afford it. We want to stop this from happening by working with the government to educate and reach the larger community.”
To open the doors to the new hospice, money will need to be raised and a location needs finding. A medical director and staff are also needed, as is equipment.
Basaraba is currently building relationships to open those doors.
looking back, she explains her heart has been in service work for as long as she could remember.
“Simply put, i am a Christian and it’s a big part of our faith to help the poor,” she said.
“When i was young i used to come up with crazy schemes for helping the poor and my sister and i used to babysit for free for a single mom friend and do things like that.”
Basaraba’s mother, Taron, agreed.
“She was always just such a caring kid,” said Taron about Ba-saraba’s childhood in Terrace and the pathway that led her to today.
“it is not easy to become a per-son like this, you have to fight so many battles, so many nos.
“And, i say to her, how many people get to do what they wanted to do when they were kids?”

IDLE NO More in the northwest could be called Pipelines No More because Enbridge’s planned North-ern Gateway project remains top of mind for the mostly aboriginal peo-ple turning out to Idle demonstra-tions. This isn’t terribly surprising as opposing Enbridge is pretty much part of the psyche of a substantial number of aboriginals as well as oth-ers up here. And opposing Enbridge is a snug � t with the philosophical foundations of Idle No More.
Yet one of the speakers at the Dec. 28 Idle demonstration inside the Skeena Mall introduced a new dimension. Kitsumkalum chief councillor Don Roberts seemed to lump proposed lique� ed natural gas (LNG) projects in with Northern Gateway as targets.
What makes Mr. Roberts’ position all the more fascinating is that he’s hardly a romantic environmentalist.
Indeed, as the highest elected of-� cial at Kitsumkalum, Mr. Roberts is at the forefront of a First Nation hard at work building up a resource-based economy – participation in the Northwest Transmission Line and a rock quarry are recent examples.
So when someone such as Mr. Roberts questions the overall impact of the LNG industry, something is going on that deserves the attention of us all. If there is indeed an under-current of opposition to LNG then its exact nature needs to be determined and best efforts must be made to deal with the opposition in a fair and hon-ourable manner.

B.C. schools turn out Dogwood grads – some of whom go on to become
world renowned for their ca-reer choices of music, sports, or astronauts. Yet when some are interviewed, our low grammar standards mar their speech. CBC’s Ian Ha-nomansing in Vancouver in-terviewed Carly Ray Jepsen, the 28- year-old Mission grad who has become a house-hold name worldwide since her song “Call Me Maybe” topped the charts.
Jepsen is � uent in her � rst language, English. During Hanomansing’s interview she was never at a loss for words discussing her music and her joy in writing songs and sharing them, but one answer stunned me.
Asked if she ever doubts her ability to follow the suc-cess of “Call Me Maybe” with her next recording, she said, “I remember kinda tak-ing a walk and deciding I wasn’t coming home until I’d shooken off that feeling.”
Shooken off?! And how do you “kinda take a walk”? Drive along in a car, door open, one foot hopping on the ground? Push a bike? Stop in for a coffee now and then?
Now, anyone who knows me has probably heard me start off to say one thing, switch to a second approach and end up garbling words until you might wonder if I’m suffering a stroke. A prob-lem for me all my life, it has worsened with age.
Jepsen suffers no impedi-ment. She can rattle on non-stop, aided by breath control acquired through her singing. Then to toss in a “shooken”? Shakes my faith in our edu-cation system, already as bruised as a cocktail served by an artless bartender.
Jepsen has also bene� ted from much media and fan ex-posure as a third place win-
ner on Canadian Idol, a guest on Jimmy Fallon and Ellen, and a participant in a Times Square New Year’s perfor-mance.
Faulty grammar might have suf� ced when students tended to get a job locally and never venture into the wider world. That’s not the case to-day. Grads travel far a� eld as volunteers, Olympians, play-ers on top level sports teams, musicians, actors, even writ-ers. TV interviews are com-mon. And all text, twitter, and post on Facebook, displaying their language de� ciencies for a wider world to witness.
And what the world wit-nesses must make many question today’s education standards, not only in B.C. When an L.A. paparazzo was killed while trying to photo-graph Justin Bieber’s Ferrari in traf� c, TV star and singer Miley Cyrus tweeted, “The man’s death should not be on Bieber’s conscious.” Now, was that inappropriate word a slip of her texting � nger, or a measure of her English?
To say Jepsen is not the only B.C. grad to use faulty language is no defence, even though it’s true. As an exam-ple, in an interview prior to the World Pipe Band Cham-
pionships held annually in Glasgow, a young piper from the Simon Fraser University Junior Pipe Band said the word “like” � ve times in a single short sentence. Not once did the word add mean-ing to her sentence.
The habit of dropping in “like” every other word is not the fault of any teacher, I hope. However it suggests careless speech, blind follow-ing of a peer group. It may also signify limited reading. Voracious readers unknow-ingly adopt good grammar and sentence structure .
I blame teachers for al-lowing misspellings and in-correct grammar to slide by whenever they crop up in written assignments or during class discussions. Students are bound to conclude good English is inconsequential, even optional. It shouldn’t be.
For teachers to have only an hour or two each day with a student may be too little for them to counteract a student’s exposure to poor grammar and language usage by par-ents, peers, and other after school in� uences. But we know students pull up their socks when they walk into a classroom where the teacher expects more from them.
Bad grammar has shooken her up

Everything is wrong about the plans to develop a landfill at Onion Lake. What are the Regional
District of Kitimat-Stikine direc-tors and staff thinking?
Who in their right mind would think it makes sense to truck gar-bage 60 kilometers return from town, to a site on the top of a sand and gravel plateau at Onion Lake in the middle of a recreational area?
If this represents logical com-munity planning I have to ques-tion who in the community agrees with the regional district. Have they asked you?
Their own advisory committee and the 100 concerned citizens who attended the open house in Thornhill this past spring over-whelmingly opposed the concept of this site, as did the 847 who signed a petition to the regional district.
After spending $800,000 on studies they ignore actual docu-mentation, which states that the
landfill effluent will discharge into the Lakelse watershed and that there will be traffic and safety concerns at the Highway 37 turn-off.
In addition they totally disre-gard the pathway of established wildlife populations, but move the site 150 meters for goshawks.
Despite this and a whole list of other concerns the regional dis-trict is still going ahead with plans to develop a landfill site which they are misrepresenting by call-ing Forceman Ridge.
Forceman Ridge is well away from this area so why not call it what it is – a landfill stuck smack in the middle of Chist Creek Rec-reation Site, Clearwater Lakes trails and the Onion Lake ski trail site and immediately next to a world-class rock-climbing wall and just above the Lakelse Lake Provincial Park.
That is not to understate the locations of our current two sites. One at Thornhill and one at Ter-race that are now neighbors to a
rural residential community.However, the development of
Forceman Ridge Landfill will not change that. Thornhill will remain open, just reframed as a transfer site which by the way increases the cost of moving garbage by handling it twice.
If you’re going to do that, then why not actually develop a proper
recycling facility, then at least handling it twice will make sense.
Managing waste can actu-ally be cost effective, add to the economy and reduce waste there-by enabling us to use our current landfill sites by virtue of reduced capacity.
The Terrace site has been writ-ten off by Terrace city councillors and is slated to close.
This however does not mean it will be better for neighbours as the site will be remain a brown field site for decades.
Neither Terrace council nor the regional district investigated the benefit of improving this site. They did not look into whether or not this site could be remedi-ated, made better operationally or become an area to create effective composting, or any of the possi-ble economies of scale that are as-sociated with waste management.
Several businesses here are successfully make profits recy-cling, reusing, or remarketing waste.
Why then does Terrace gar-bage, which makes up the big-gest majority of waste, need to be hauled 30 kilometres away when it could instead become a cost ef-fective source of revenue instead of a burden on the taxpayer?
That’s right – you the taxpayer will have to pay increased taxes and user fees to dispose of your waste because of the decisions made by Terrace council and the regional district to develop the Forceman Ridge landfill site.
Both governments claim that the Ministry of the Environment requires them to close the Terrace and Thornhill landfills due to en-vironmental concerns, which will be remediated.
To date however not even one environmental assessment has been done on any of the three sites. Something is wrong with this picture.

Dear Sir:Mrs. Sandecki con-
cludes her Dec. 19, 2012 column about an irre-sponsible, unprepared and out of bounds lost snowboarder with the statement that Search and Rescue should wait 72 hours before initiat-ing a search.
Seventy-two hours for many of these un-
der-prepared individu-als can be a death sen-tence.
Lamentably, Mrs. Sandecki goes on to say that if these irresponsi-ble snowboarders don’t survive, “oh well, at least no one would have to search for them a sec-ond time.”
There are many people that make bad
choices taking them out of bounds in some as-pect of life and making them a burden to others.
Many make choices that take them out of health or out of the job market.
The beautiful thing about our wonderful country is that we, for the most part, do not abandon these people.
The sound of those search helicopters and the lights of those res-cue teams blinking on the side of a dark moun-tain slope are the won-derful reassurances that our society reaches out for one in need.
Let indulgent and ir-responsible people face some consequences for their poor judgement.
That’s fair.But should we aban-
don them to a fate of desperation, agony and possible death?
No. Canada is bet-ter than that and every brave search and res-cue worker understands that, and so should we all.

Is anyonewatching?Dear Sir:
Roc Holdings owns the new sawmill. Roc Hold-ings is a private company whose principals have experience in building materials, development and international trade. It is the BC affiliate of a sub-stantial private conglomerate in China. Is it any wonder many Chinese workers are coming here?
In China we know they have human rights in-fringements.
Harper even spoke out about it a few years go on a visit to China. This same Harper has signed a treaty with China.
I doubt there will be concerns about human rights wherever the Chinese are put to work. Like a hundred years ago, poor wages, poor working con-ditions-who will complain? People want to keep their jobs.
What kind of agreement did these Chinese workers make to come here? Is this going to affect our human rights over time?
China is creeping in through the back door. Is anyone watching?

Dear Sir:The provincial � sh and wildlife branch is pro-
posing a change to the fresh water � shing regula-tions for 2013-2014 to stop the retention of any trout or char in all the rivers and streams of Region 6 which is known as the Skeena Region. The pro-posal is numbered 808.
This proposed restriction includes the Skeena, Kitimat, Nass, Stikine and Dease River drainages and all tributaries.
What this means is it will be illegal to take your child or grand child to any stream in Region 6 and teach them how to catch a trout responsibly, dress it, cook it and eat it, the way that most of us who were raised in this area have done for years and years.
A select few, including � shing guides in the area, have already made it illegal to retain steelhead, but
you must buy a steelhead licence to � sh at all in their sacred streams.
They would prefer that no one but them were allowed access to all waters so they can catch and release “unharmed” any � sh they please without someone who is trying to catch supper getting in their way.
The everyday person and their families are now expected to go and camp at a lake in the summer-time and eat � sh that are silty tasting or even pos-sibly wormy due to the warmer water temperatures.
Let the kids sit in front of the computer or iPad all day. They don’t need to learn about the outdoors until they’re old enough to handle a � y rod and play harass and release, “unharmed” of course.
I myself was born in Terrace and have been � sh-ing and eating fresh caught � sh of every species available for about 54 years.
My children and grandchildren also enjoy a fresh feed when the opportunity presents itself.
If you are opposed to this change in the fresh water � shing regulations, I urge every one to sign the petition papers that I personally distributed to a number of local businesses and other locations in and around Terrace.
Internet access to read the proposed change can be found at http://a100.gov.bc.ca/pub/ahte/angling/Skeena-streams-trout char-catch-and-release.

News In BriefWeapons seized
POLICE SAY they spoke with a 69-year-old man in a bus that he calls home parked near the Rain-bow Inn on the highway leading out of Terrace last week.
The man was delusional and not making sense, police said, and was not truthful when questioned about access to � rearms.
Of� cers then observed a 12 gauge shotgun with ammunition in a sleeve on the butt of the gun within reach of the front door of the bus.
Police say they then apprehended the man under the Mental Health Act and then seized the man’s � rearms licence and � ve � rearms, including a re-stricted weapon that was fully loaded and hidden in between blankets on the bed.
The investigation is ongoing.
Property allegationCHARGE RECOMMENDATIONS are being forwarded to Crown Counsel lawyers after police stopped a man during a roadblock on Queensway Drive at Thornhill Creek last week.
Upon checking a blue GMC truck, police say they discovered the driver was unlicenced and that the licence plate was inactive and belonged to a dif-ferent vehicle that was registered to another person.
Police say they arrested the 28-year-old driver for possession of stolen property.
BB gun seizedPOLICE WERE called to the Easy Home outlet beside the CIBC branch last week when it appeared that one of two men carrying a TV into the store was carrying a gun in his back pocket.
“As police were walking toward the manager to speak with him a man was noted to have a suspi-cious looking lump in the back of his sweater above his right pocket,” indicated a police report.
“Police stopped the man and grabbed the lump, producing a black handgun style BB gun,” the re-port continued.
The 18-year-old man who was carrying the gun stated that he was going shooting with his uncle af-ter work.
“He agreed that carrying the gun in such a man-ner and right next door to a bank was not the best decision to make. The gun was kept for local de-struction,” the police report concluded.

Being down on one’s luck is an obvi-ous understatement for anyone who’s not only struggling with a medi-cal condition, but the finances needed to help stay healthy — or even just alive.
it’s why Ron and Mavis Ramsey do what they do, which is collect bottles, cans and scrap metal which are then returned for money that goes to help people who are sick and struggling financially to keep up with associated bills.
Helping Hands, as their charitable organi-zation is called, touches many people in this community. And it’s been gathering traction amongst other organiza-tions here that are pitch-ing in support as well.
in 2012, $17,686 was raised – some of which also came from cash donations made through the northern Savings Credit Union. That amount is up more than $5,000 compared to 2011.
After an entire year, there’s now a balance of $5,000 left to help.
The couple first start-
ed its efforts in 2009, sparked by the realiza-tions that many seniors were getting sick due to an inability to pay for prescriptions.
“one of the prob-lems here is that seniors don’t know what help is available to them,” said Ron Ramsey. “it just feels like nobody cares.”
initially, the program started by helping se-
niors with low incomes pay for prescriptions they couldn’t afford.
There are now four drug stores in town that work with Helping Hands – both Shoppers drug Marts, Save on Foods and Safeway.
each has a balance on hand from Helping Hands used to help pay for people prescrip-tions.
“They call us when
they get low and we top them up,” said Ramsey.
Hawkair also signed on board to help this year, offering flights for those who cannot af-ford to pay for medical travel expenses. Help-ing Hands pays taxes and airport fees.
it has covered four flights this year through Hawkair, and paid the full price of another with a different air-
line for someone who needed to travel to Ka-mloops for treatment.
Mike Barg received a flight to get cancer treatment in Vancouver.
“i think what Ron and Mavis do with Helping Hands is be-yond words,” said Barg.
“And i still get teary-eyed when i think of of what they did for me,” he said of Helping Hands.

A SMALL museum at Cedarvale east of Terrace has renewed efforts to secure native artifacts dis-covered during CN rail siding work last year.
Despite an earlier refusal, the Meanskinisht Vil-lage Historical Association, in a Dec. 20, 2012 let-ter to a CN aboriginal affairs manager, has asked once again for the artifacts.
The siding work, on the north side of the Skeena River and across the river from present day Cedar-vale, took place in and around a settlement called Meanskinisht, founded by a missionary called Rob-ert Tomlinson in the late 1880s near the location of an aboriginal village called Gitlusec.
Association members say they have a connec-tion to the artifacts because family members lived at Gitsulec before Tomlinson arrived and purchased land in the area from Tomlinson later on.
“The descendants of this association have a di-rect link with the artifacts uncovered,” say mem-bers Mary Dalen and son Lyle in the letter.
The siding work is part of CN’s network expan-sion to handle increased traf� c in and out of the port at Prince Rupert.
An archaeologist hired by CN during the work now has possession of the artifacts.
CN of� cials say they did contact relevant ab-original authorities in the area and signed an agree-ment with Arthur Matthews, the Gitxsan chief who has responsibility for the area in which the siding work was carried out.
“An observer of the chief was on site at all times. The artifacts are currently in the custody of the ar-chaeologist who completed the work,” said CN of� -cial Emily Hamer of the agreement CN signed with Matthews. “CN and the Gitxsan chief agreed that all artifacts discovered will be housed in a museum setting owned by the Gitxsan chiefs,” she said.
Hamer added that CN has been in extensive con-tact with Mary Dalen.
CN did give the historical association several boxes of railway-associated material uncovered during construction.
The material consists mostly of bolts, twisted metal and glass insulators but not any aboriginal artifacts.

GATEWAYperspectives
Over the last few months, I’ve talked about the precautions, the safety measures, and the selection criteria involved in the marine elements of the Gateway project — all of them intended to prevent an oil spill on water. I’ve also discussed how Gateway’s marine safety program was examined by an independent risk assessment group, which determined that the chances of a major spill are once in more than 15,000 years.
Although statistics and reports suggest a marine oil spill is unlikely, you want to know — what if one does occur? How will Gateway be prepared? While the chances are slim, we continue to develop a world-class marine response program.
The Northern Gateway Project includes a spill response capacity that’s more than three times the Canadian regulation. And while the Canadian requirement for oil spill response is 72 hours plus travel time, our response time will be a fraction of that number — 6 to 12 hours in the marine channels. This is a signifi cant increase to the response capability available to B.C.’s north coast. Additionally, for immediate response, our tug escorts will be
equipped with booms, oil skimmers, and fi refi ghting equipment to provide enhanced initial containment, and they will be available to all marine traffi c in the event of an incident.
We will store equipment, such as containment and absorbent booms, skimmers, and waste storage, in multiple well-maintained, readily accessible response bases, providing a wider area of coverage in a shorter amount of time. Barges will also be located throughout the marine channels for additional storage and equipment mobilization. We are committed to having staff, contractors, and partners in place to maintain that enhanced state of readiness.
The Gateway project will likely never see a major marine oil spill. But if it does, we’ll be prepared to protect our coastline.

AFTER A female moose was shot dead along Hwy37 between Terrace and Kitimat last week, B.C. conservation of� cers are sending a message to moose poachers. Stop.
On Jan. 10 near Williams Creek Bridge, con-servation of� cers discovered a three-year-old cow moose that had been shot in the early hours of the morning. They waited to see if poachers would lat-er return to pick up their prize. They didn’t.
The moose is the tenth to be shot illegally this season, and conservation of� cers say they suspect someone shot out of the window of a vehicle due to the proximity of the animal to the road and a lack of human footprints seen in the snow.
“We have some people that think it’s a good idea to shoot them right off the highway, and a lot of the times they’ll go back for them at night time,” said conservation of� cer Gareth Scrivner. “Anyone who saw anything suspicious in that area, we certainly
want to hear from them.” Conservation of� cers want to emphasize
that it is illegal to hunt for moose when the season is closed and all-year-round within 400 metres on each side of Hwy 16, Hwy 113 and Hwy 37.
“This is for public safety,” said Scrivner. “The local moose population is down and this is in part due to illegal harvest of (female) moose, who are usually pregnant this time of year.”
Scrivner said that moose shot along the high-ways are a big problem in this area, especially since they migrate to lower ground once the weather cools off, bringing them closer to roads.
Anyone who sees anything suspicious should record information and report it to a poaching and polluting tips line soon as possible, he said, adding anybody offering moose meat for sale should be re-ported as well at 1-877-952-7277.

Terrace’s naTural beauty played a supporting role in last sunday’s Golden Globe awards’ festivities in Hollywood, with a local photographer’s artwork featured in a weekend gift lounge gift bag.
Photographer sylvia Hart, who lived in Terrace until she was 18 and just returned to the area two years ago after spending years in different pockets of the united states, had two pieces of photography – both of the Ter-race area – in an artisan gift bag (sometimes called a “swag bag”) given out to celebrities in the event’s gift lounges over the weekend in los angeles.
Gift lounges are one of the perks of being a celebrity – celebrities visit the lounges and are given products. Photos are then taken of the celebrity with the products for promo-tional purposes.
The gift bags that featured Hart’s work in-cluded the work of artists and artisans of The artisan Group, an invitation-only artists-col-lective that features handcrafted products, of which Hart is a member. she also sells her artwork online through her etsy online shop – and has customers from all over the world.
“If you’re an artist, and want to start out [opening an online shop] is a great way to do it and not spend a lot of money,” she said, noting that there are a few local artists in the online groups she is a part of – but there could be more.
This isn’t Hart’s first brush with celebrity. she worked as John Travolta’s personal as-sistant for six years in the early ‘90s, taking family trips with him and even attending the Oscars.
so, in her words (and southern accent, as she spent most of her years in the southern united states), the celebrity stuff is a bit “been there, done that.”
Hart’s more interested in photographing and promoting the beauty of canada and the northwest, and using it as an opportunity to show people south of the border and beyond about what canada is like.
“I just thought it was neat that some of my stuff from little ol’ Terrace was going to be in them, somebody’s going to get stuff from canada,” she said. “I really like to pro-mote this area because it’s so beautiful and I think people have certain ideas, conceptions of canada, conceptions of living up here.”
and while she’s grateful for her interna-tional clientele, it’s the Terrace arts commu-nity that she really wants to boost.
“Terrace is really open to new artists, with displaying, and helping promote,” she said. “I love the way people accept artists here, the art gallery had a show just before christmas and there were incredible artists there. There’s quite a few good photogra-phers in town, a lot of people who do quilt-ing and jewellery.”
In fact, although she’s been taking pho-
tographs for quite some time, it wasn’t until she moved to Terrace that she had her first showing – at cafenara.
“I have an online shop, but I’d never done the physical part,” she said, noting that she met the owner, sonny, one day and that’s all it took. “I got such a good response.”
now, her work is on display in a number of places around town, including the Ter-race art Gallery and red raven arts in the skeena Mall. red raven’s is a co-op, so you can find Hart and her fellow artists working in the gallery throughout the week.
“That’s been great, there are a lot of tal-ented people in this town,” she said. “When you live in the cities you don’t really get to notice the handmade stuff as much as when you live in a town like Terrace.”
Hart says her work is different than most of the artists in town, as she displays her photographs using a standout board format that makes them very light and ready-to-hang – and also easy to ship, perfect for her online business.
she only has a couple of cameras (one a recent gift from her husband) and she takes one of them with her everywhere, and doesn’t like to use Photoshop.
“Here you don’t have to do much,” she said.
she says there’s something special about the northwest and doesn’t plan on leav-ing again. “It’s stunning, anywhere you sit. We’ve lived all over the states, driven motor-cycles all over the states, and we’ve seen a lot,” she said.
“But when I came back here with my camera, everywhere you look it’s beautiful – the natural light here, the mountains and the blue, the colours here are just amazing. It’s just different. I don’t know if it’s the air or what, but you can go anywhere and get the most amazing shots.”

Keri-ann and tyson Vandevelde hold their newborn baby emily Vandevelde who happens to be a third-generation new Year’s baby.
Baby Emily’s arrivalkeeps tradition intactTHe vandevelde family is on a roll when it comes to births of new Year’s babies with the ar-rival Jan. 4 of daughter emily for parents Keri-ann and Tyson vandevelde.
as the first baby born here in 2013, emily is now the third generation new Year’s baby to be born in the family.
“It’s pretty exciting,” said father Tyson, noting that Fred euverman, an uncle, was the first new Year’s baby in the family born in 1960 with cousin Kierra Obzera being the second new Year’s baby when she was born in 1990.
“and now emily, kind of interesting,” said Ty-son vandevelde. “she was five days early.”
emily was born 5:27 a.m. Jan. 4 after a relative-ly short labour.
and another tradition is being kept up as both their grandmothers also had emily in their names as well.
“We didn’t realize that at first,” said Tyson vandevelde.
“We both really liked (the name.)”
Mother Keri-ann says she likes being a new mom.
“It’s exciting,” she said, adding it was a rela-tively quick labour.
The parents first went to the hospital on mid-night Jan. 4 before leaving and returning at 3:30 a.m. that day.
“she came quick,” said Tyson vandelvelde, adding it only took three pushes before emily was born. emily weighed 5 pounds, 14.6 ounces.
In keeping with a common practice in delivery rooms, Tyson cut the umbilical cord.
The very first new Year’s baby in B.c.’s north in 2013 goes to baby sarah nicole cornell-Martinez, who was born in Fort st. John at 12:15 a.m. Jan. 1.
In the northwest, the city of Prince rupert boasts the first in the region as baby Jalissa stanley-alex-cee was born at 9:43 a.m. that same day.
Kitimat’s new Year’s baby was born just one hour before Terrace’s baby emily. On Jan. 4 at 4:25 a.m. seamus Gardner was born at the Kitimat Gen-eral Hospital.

The CaledOnia Kermodes boys basketball team started the new year by travelling to Prince George over the winter break to compete in four games, with two games against the #3 ranked aa duchess Park Condors.
The first game on the night of Thursday, Jan. 3 went into overtime to settle the score. The Kermodes were a little sluggish coming off the bus but were able to keep pace with the Condors throughout the first half – this despite the loss of senior starting guard Patrick Kurek due to injury.
The close game saw 11 lead changes, and the Kermodes were down 34-31 at the half but fought back to take a 46-45 lead into the final quarter.
Cal looked to have it all sewn up in the final stages of the game and the Condors went to fouling which proved fruitful as Kermodes had a chance to seal the win – but then shot a paltry 2 of 8 from the charity stripe in the final frame while the Condors went 7 of 8.
With 10 seconds left, Kermodes had a 69-66 lead and possession of the ball.
Then, an untimely turnover lead to a quick 3-point shot with little time left on the clock.
The Condors took that momen-tum in to the OT and hit their first three shots, while the Kermodes turned over the ball on their first two possessions.
The Kermodes were lead of-fensively by Reegin Maki with 25 points and Marcus MacKay with 21 points. The Condors were lead by BC team player Montell lind-gren with 35 points and nathaniel Pawluk with 28 points. Cal did a poor job on their post defence – the only bright light being the fact they had a rematch set for the Saturday.
On day two, the Kermodes had two games scheduled. One in the morning against dP Todd Tro-jans and another in the afternoon against College heights Cougars.
in the first game the Kermodes met a feisty Trojan crew who played a very aggressive game. Over 50 fouls were called in the game – quite unusual.
But in the end the Kermodes prevailed with a 66-58 victory. Reegin Maki lead the Kermodes with 28 points while Kynan Finnie and Marcus MacKay added 14 and 13 points respectively.
in the afternoon game, the Ker-modes rested many of their sick or injured players and came through
with a victory, outscoring the Cou-gars 68-52. Kermodes were lead by Marcus MacKay with 27 points, Kynan Finnie with 13 points and levi Crist with 10 points.
in the final game of the four-game tour the much desired re-match with the Condors came to be. The Kermodes were very hun-gry to put in a better showing than the first game – and did just that.
defensively ethan anderson and Kynan Finnie combined to hold Condor post standout, na-
thaniel Pawluk, to 16 points while Brennan Jay, Reegin Maki, and Marcus MacKay were able to re-duce the offensive output of BC team Player lingren to 24 points.
Once again it was a very en-tertaining game that had five lead changes in the first half before the Kermodes took control. Kermodes led 38-34 at the half and did not re-linquish the lead after that. every time the Condors tried to make a run the Kermodes snuffed it out.
Kermodes, once again, were led
offensively by Reegin Maki with 33 points and Marcus MacKay with 25. and Maki was fighting bronchitis but that didn't stop him from having a breakout series of games.
a fine start to the year, and good preparation for future tourna-ments, like the one last weekend in abbotsford the Terrace Standard will have full coverage on next week. next home games for the Kermodes will be Jan. 25-26 at the Caledonia Gym.

Hockey academy proposedneaRly eveRyOne who has touched the Terrace school system has heard of at least one student who left Terrace to pursue sports at a school down south. Whether it was dance, soccer, hockey – the lower mainland provides opportu-nities that simply aren’t offered in this area.
But if administrators at Skeena Middle School have their way, that won’t be the case forever. as early as next year, Terrace could see its
first middle school also become its first hockey academy, with stu-dents enrolled in the new program as early as next year.
That’s the goal, at least, ac-cording to Skeena principal Phil-lip Barron and vice principal Cory Killoran, who first entertained the idea of a sports academy here in town while they were touring mid-dle schools with similar programs about a year and a half ago.
“We had the opportunity to talk
firsthand with the principals at the schools, and the staff, and some of the students enrolled and it all seemed very positive,” said Bar-ron, noting that they waited un-til this year to pursue it because they were so busy with the middle school transition last year.
“now that we’re in our first year [of being a middle school] and we’re well on our way we cer-tainly feel that the timing is right for something like this,” he said.
So after being in touch with Pa-cific Rim hockey academy, which runs the programs in Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, daw-son Creek and Chetwynd, and re-ceiving more information on how it could work here, they received the go-ahead from the Coast Moun-tains School district at the dec. 19 meeting to proceed with com-munity consultation and planning.
“now that we’ve got the board approval from the school district,
the next step is going to be an open house in February. We’ve got in-formation from Pacific Rim that we’re going to push out to parents, and what we’re going to look for next is an expression of interest,” said Barron.
if the support is there, which, Barron says they are “ very hopeful and cautiously optimistic” about, they’d then go about figuring out the logistics of the program.

I was up to my thighs in the river, fighting the first steelhead of the day when Oona dropped her bone, stood up, looked downstream, and began to
bark.Were the sow grizzly and her cubs mak-
ing their way back upstream? I looked downstream but could only see clearly to the tip of the island where the river bent north. In the meantime the steelhead on my line was pulling me strongly and steadily downstream. I dropped the tip of my rod and waded deeper to try to see farther downstream. Oona continued to bark.
What is it girl? I asked. The fish came unstuck. Where usually I
would have been slightly annoyed at losing a fish before I could get it near shore and clip its fin, I was happy to be spared the chore pending a resolution of the incipient bear problem.
Oona was barking more frantically. I saw the object of her attention – a man was walking along the railway.
It’s alright Oona, I said. The man was packing something. At
first, I thought it was a fishing rod, but as he came closer, I saw it was a rifle and that the man was Dan Daigle. I called out to him. We shouted to each other across the river for a while.
Wait, I yelled. I’ll come over. The tail of the run was deeper than I’d
judged. As I passed the stealthy stump that lurks just below the sur-face, and has grabbed so many of my flies in seasons past, the water lapped just below my chest. At the far side, I clambered up and over large chunks of shot rock and was thankful to have Dan’s hand avail-able to pull me over the top of the steep, brushy, snow covered bank.
What are you hunt-ing? I asked.
I’ve got a grizzly tag, Dan said.
Aw, don’t shoot a bear.I’ve had some in my sights, but I passed.
I’m not going to shoot one. Having the lim-ited entry is just an excuse to go for a walk in the woods. I left my Dad back in the truck. He’s got a moose tag and it’s great that he can still get out at 80.
I told Dan about following the sow and her cubs.
Yeah, I saw them yesterday, he said. I also came across a grizzly track I could get both of my feet into.
We talked about grizzlies and fishing for a while then each of us told the other
to take care whereupon we headed off in oppo-site directions, Dan back downstream to wake his Dad up from the latter’s nap, me upstream on the railroad to put some dis-tance between myself, my dog, and momma grizzly.
After a few steps, I noticed a long line of bear tracks set in the snow between the rails. They extended as far as I could see into the distance and probably farther still. The tracks were large and made deep impressions, trac-
ing the passage of a very big male bear. But the fact that they were a day or two old, and that they were headed in the opposite direction I was, gave me a little comfort.
I walked beside them to a spot a few feet past the bridge over Coldwater Creek. There they were joined by the tracks of a fisherman wearing felt soled wading boots. When I examined them closely the bear tracks obliterated some of the fisher-man’s tracks. The explanation was simple. The fisherman probably walked the route in advance of the grizzly, possibly the day
before. A few hundred metres later only the
fisherman’s tracks were apparent. I fol-lowed them for another hundred metres, when both tracks appeared again with the difference that the fisher’s boot tracks were now atop those of the bear in some places. As I slipped into the bush and made my way to where I hoped to cross the river, I pondered the tale told by the tracks in-side the tracks. The logical hypothesis was that the big grizzly had been walking to-ward Coldwater Creek when he sensed the oncoming fisherman, probably catching the man’s scent. The big bruin had then slipped into the bush and sat there close to the right of way as the man passed. Then, when he deemed it appropriate, the bear had climbed back up on the railway and continued his journey. The fisherman prob-ably had no inkling he’d passed within a few feet of the great bear.
It was Friday and I leave the weekends to those who can’t fish during the week, so it was three days before I returned to the river. Oona and I made our way down river from Herman’s Point to Hai Creek. Where the grizzly family had been fishing there were only the tracks of a large male. We walked the game trails on both sides of the river and found no sign of mother and her cubs.

■ Ice form Here’s Terrace’s Jacqueline Lenuik, Bc/YT section senior Ladies Gold Medalist, who attended skate canada’s challenge event in early December and has been training in Vancouver. she’s since retired from competitive skat-ing and is heading back to Terrace to act as one of the judges at the Kla-How-Ya competition at the end of the month (a judge since she was 16, she’s one of our area’s high-level judges). We’re sure we’re not alone in giving her a warm welcome home.
This includes who would be the teacher in charge (at least one teacher has to be trained through the academy to adminis-ter assessments) and who would coach the students – some schools find coaches in the community, while others use teachers already in the schools who have coaching experience.
They’ll also have to figure out when the classes will take place at the Sportsplex. They are leaning towards the be-ginning of the day or the end of the day, so that the school only has to cover one end of the transporta-tion costs.
Then there is the issue of who is going to pay for it. The program costs money, so parents would have to be prepared to foot the bill.
Literature provided to the school board from Pacific Rim states the program is $246 a month, that’s $1232 for one semes-ter, September through January, or $2460 for the full year.
But Skeena says it is committed to it being an inclusive and accessible program – they don’t want to see students turned away because they can’t afford it, the same way they deal with their volleyball and basketball teams.
So they’ll be looking at options for stu-dent financing, which could include sup-port and sponsorships from community groups and First Nations Bands, and using some of the revenue from renting out the school’s gym.
“We will make sure that those opportu-nities are known and available so that we can offer this to kids,” said Barron.
The program will also be inclusive in other ways.
“Girls and boys participate, and in a
couple of academies across the province girls’ participation is very, very high. Kids who play ringette. It’s open to kids of all skill levels – you don’t have to be the hockey super star, you can be some-one who is beginning to learn the sport,” he said.
“We love the way it fits in with the curriculum, everything that Pacific Rim
has outlined meshes perfectly with the phys-ed curriculum. We’re really excited about the off-ice component as well. They spend quite a bit of time with the dry-land training, the nutrition, the healthy lifestyle – it’s not just the hockey com-ponent.”
And academics are an inte-gral part of the program as well.
“It’s another opportunity we can offer kids to keep them and give them a strong connection to the school and their academ-ics and community,” said vice principal Killoran. “There’s a good link between playing and academics.”
And the school is aware that this might mean an increase in enrollment numbers, as the program could attract students from surrounding areas.
“That’s not a driving force behind what we’re trying to do, but we are aware,” said Barron, noting that this might be a jump off point for other schools across the dis-trict to start similar programs. “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. We’re not trying to recruit.”
And Killoran points out that it has the potential to keep students in the commu-nity. “We’ve heard about families and students who are leaving the community, specifically to go to something somewhere else,” he said. “So if we can provide that opportunity here...”
