Nisga’a in talksfor mine moneyTHE NISGA’A Lisims Government is in talks with the province for a share of the mineral taxes to come from Avanti Mining’s planned $1 billion molybdenum mine at Kit-sault on the north coast.
The talks follow similar agreements struck between the province and First Na-tions elsewhere in the province where min-eral developments are located within tradi-tional territories.
Although the Kitsault project is not with-in Nisga’a lands set out in the Nisga’a Final Agreement it is within the area where the Nisga’a have an in� uence on development and where they have � shing rights.
There’s no indication of how advanced the talks are or of their speci� c details.
“The province is in the process of ac-tively negotiating an [Economic Community Development Agreement] on Kitsault with the Nisga’a and looks forward to conclud-ing the ECDA in the near future,” indicates a statement from the provincial aboriginal af-fairs and reconciliation ministry.
The provincial policy of providing a por-tion of mineral tax revenues to First Nations dates back to 2008 with the goal that monies provided by use to � nance health, education and other programs.
In the north, the � rst such agreement was signed in the fall of 2010 with the Fort McLeod Band to provide it with mineral tax monies from the Mount Milligan copper and gold mine between Fort St. James and Mackenzie which opened last fall.
Based on the agreement, the Fort McLeod
Band could receive between $34 million and $38 million over the projected 23-year life of the mine.
Also about to start are talks between the Nisga’a and Avanti itself for the latter to pro-vide a share of revenues from the project.
Commonly called impact bene� ts agree-ments, they can take the form of direct pay-ments, contracts with First Nations compa-nies, other � nancial assistance and even a share of the project itself.
Avanti president Gordon Bogden, in the area last week for a series of meetings, said the company was about to sign a con� denti-ality agreement with the Nisga’a in advance of the negotiations.
“We’re looking at them as partners – shared bene� ts – as we move forward,” he said. Citing the con� dentiality aspect of striking what he referred to as a commercial arrangement, Bogden declined to provide further details.
“We are very engaged, with the commu-nity [in the Nass Valley] and with the four [Nisga’a] villages,” he said.
Nisga’a of� cials last week declined com-ment. But they have in the past said they’d pursue revenue sharing with the provincial government.
Negotiations between the Nisga’a and the province and, soon, Avanti, follow legal moves taken by the Nisga’a opposing pro-vincial environmental approval last spring of the mine project.

THE KITIMAT-STIKINE regional dis-trict wants the province to freeze the sale of crown land in Thornhill until it’s had a chance to review its land use plan.
The plan hasn’t been reviewed since the early 1980s but with pressure growing for residential lots, regional district of� cials say they want a better understanding of develop-ment potential.
It’s why the regional district board ab-stained, for the time being, from supporting a local developer’s application for a direct crown land sale from the province.
“It wasn’t anything speci� cally against the application, but more of a ... hold on, let’s do some forward planning before the
crown sells it,” said regional district planner Ted Pellegrino last week.
The regional district now wants to look at how the land uses have changed, what the community needs, and what impacts develop-ment would have on water and sewer systems.
The speci� c motion, which passed as rec-ommended by the regional district’s plan-ning committee April 25, dealt with the ap-plication by M&M Ventures to purchase and develop the 98-acre crown land parcel which runs alongside the Thornhill frontage road.
Plans � led by the local company envision as many as 124 residential lots being placed on the property, phased in 30 at a time until 2020.

Students cut, tape for Hailey
MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO
RORY O’REILLY cuts through the second of Mikayla Beaudette’s three braids that she’s donating to Angel Hair for Kids in the Thornhill Primary school gym May 2. Helping him is Kimberly from the Basement Hair Studio.
THORNHILL PRIMARY school students and class-mates of Hailey Pettit, who is undergoing chemotherapy for Burkitt’s Leukemia at chil-dren’s hospital down south, capped off another fundraiser for the little girl May 2.
Grade 3 student Mikayla Beaudette, 8, decided to cut her hair – only her third haircut ever – and donate it to Angel Hair for Kids and a fundraiser was born.
The other students were encouraged to raise money for Hailey and the student who raised the most would get to cut Mikayla’s hair. And if the students raised more than $600, they would get to duct tape teacher Ryan Chapman to the gym wall.
So after about a week, they had raised $760.95 and three students had each raised the most: Spencer Ward, Rory O’Reilly and Mary Bell. Mi-kayla had her hair sectioned off into three ponytails and each of the three students took turns cutting off one section.
Then Mikayla attached the first long strip of duct tape to the wall and Chapman – who was standing on a chair – and the other students followed with the teachers finishing up.
Mikayla and a teacher re-moved the chair and Chapman
hung on the wall for a few min-utes before the tape gave way and he crashed to the floor.
And Hailey’s class, led by teacher Laura Gray, made her a quilt with each block of the
quilt being a picture or artwork drawn by the students and screen printed.
School volunteer Vijaya Hedberg and her grandma sewed the quilt together and
made Hailey a dress. Both will be sent to her.
Hailey has been at children’s hospital since January and is expected to remain there until August.

A second development company has also applied to develop the land into a resi-dential subdivision. That company’s iden-tity wasn’t immediately available from the provincial lands ministry.
“It’s a large piece of property that’s un-der application and some land uses have changed over the years,” said Pellegrino, of the property. “There’s also potential to use part of it for something besides resi-dential and how that would transition to the residential use and the existing resi-dential neighbourhood.”
There have been some zoning changes to the neighbourhood since the communi-ty plan was completed, explained Pellegri-no, noting the light industrial zoned parcel next door, which was rezoned in order to address a proposal by Lomak Transport to build a truck shop on the site.
“There wasn’t a whole lot of consid-eration because at that time there wasn’t any other proposals on that land,” he said. “Now that you’ve got this industrial zoned property next door and we’ve got a pro-posal for development on the neighbouring lands, then we need to look at it in the con-text of what the best use is and what’s hap-pened since the community plan was done in terms of how is that area developed.”
The review, which will include com-munity consultations, is expected to take about a year and deal mainly with vacant crown land parcels in the Thornhill area, said Pellegrino.
Consideration will be given to what the community needs in terms of walking trails, bike paths and green space, poten-tially using the information collected dur-ing the Active Transportation Plan consul-
tations which took place over the last year. The other key aspect of the review will
be looking at servicing needs on those lands and the regional district’s ability to provide those services (think: community water, community sewer).
“It would have an impact on our infra-structure depending on what the proposed use was,” he said. “We don’t have a com-munity sewer in that area, some areas wouldn’t have a main water line running through...”
And while developers could install in-frastructure “the regional district is still the one who has to deal with it at the other end,” he said. “For example, it’s our water wells that would supply it. The developer would put in the main line but do we have sufficient capacity in our water system to provide what they need?”

Halt wanted on land sale
A CONTEST offering cash prizes for creative ideas wraps up this weekend.
Organized by the Skeena-Nass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics (SNCI-RE), the Northwest Innovation Challenge is looking for ideas to use local resources or other means to benefit the region.
SNCIRE has $11,000 in prize money to offer with 10 finalists receiving $250 each to prepare a presentation of the innovation idea to be shown as
a public gathering taking place just after the society’s annual general meeting this Friday, May 9.
The innovators and their ideas and displays will be judged on five criteria: strength of Innovation, regional rel-evancy, impact, appeal of dis-play and enthusiasm.
People can vote for their choice and the remaining $8,500 will be given out as cash prizes.
First, second and third priz-
es are valued at $1,750, $1,250 and $1,000. A $2,500 Terrace Community Forest prize will got to the most innovative use of a bio-product.
A $1,000 UNBC Northwest prize will go to the most in-novative entry that addresses the needs and opportunities of Northern BC. Plus any-one at the event can vote for the $1,000 People’s Choice Award.
The challenge takes place at 7 p.m. at the Sherwood Moun-
tain Brewhouse, located in the same building as the Creative Zone, just after SNCIRE’s an-nual general meeting which is also being held at the brew-house from 5 to 6 p.m.
It’ll be the last meeting of the organization which is clos-ing down after failing to secure enough money to keep operat-ing.
The prize money comes from a small surplus and is be-ing used with the permission of those who provided it.

Church site, spaup for rezoning
THE PROPERTY on the corner of Sparks and Park where the Christ Lutheran church now sits and the location of the Spa Essentials building at 4814 Lazelle are to be subjects of a rezoning public hearing May 12 by Terrace city council.
Principal Construction, which owns the Lazelle Mini-Mall across the alley from the church, has put in a purchase offer on the property under the condition it can be rezoned to be used as a parking lot.
The intended use would mean demolition of the church building in the summer.
Christ Lutheran Church has been at the location since the mid-1950s and this year marks its 60th anniversary. Declining mem-bership has affected the church’s ability to continue at the location.
Also up for comment May 12 is a rezoning application that would see the uses for a build-ing in which Spa Essentials is located at 4814 Lazelle changed to residential, R3 multi-fam-ily housing. The property is for sale and the intended purchaser is Manny Hong.
The large house is included on the city’s heritage registry and was constructed in 1938 as a single family home by Will Little and be-came the Dudley and Mary Little residence, and has a “beautiful hardwood stair and ban-nister,” according to the city website. Its posi-tion on the heritage registry means that certain aspects need to be maintained – it “required the owners, current and in the future, to maintain the exterior heritage character of the building.”
“The applicant is aware that this build-ing has heritage value, and does not intend to undertake major renovations to the build-ing,” reads information filed on the rezoning request by city officials in advance of the May 12 public hearing.
Pizza place to openTERRACE’S FIFTH pizza parlour is opening up this summer. Domino’s Pizza will be lo-cated in the Lakelse Ave. Gobind Mall across from Pita Pit and in between what used to be a Filipino restaurant and a video rental outlet.
Vice President Mohinder Singh Takhar of Gobind Enterprises, the company which owns the mall and that will be leasing the space, said that it will be take couple months or so before the space is renovated and the ovens fire up.
“At first it was going to be two to three months but it took some time for the permit from the city,” said Mohinder Singh Takhar, in reference to a zoning variance permit needed to install a Domino’s sign at the mall.
The variance was needed for a second sign desired by Domino’s in addition to the cur-rent group sign shared by the other business-es in the mall, and the setback needed to be changed to allow space for it.
The variance permit was granted April 29 by city council at its regular meeting.
Domino’s Pizza will join Canadian 2 For 1 Pizza, Checkers Pizza, Pizza Hut and Boston Pizza in the list of Terrace pizza options.

Not forgottenUsk memorial pays tribute to fallen forest industry workers
CLOSE TO 200 people gathered April 27, 2014 at Usk to take part in the dedication of a memo-rial to those killed while working in the region’s forest industry.
The loggers’ memorial, made up of one large boulder placed on top of another and resting on a concrete pad, was the idea of Usk resident Bill McRae Jr. who quickly began receiving offers of assistance.
A brass plaque affixed to the bottom boul-der reads “In memory of the men who lost their lives working in the forest industry” and a list of names at the memorial was added to by members of the audience as the afternoon went on.
“We’re thankful for this idea Bill had in his heart for this memorial,” said Pastor Joel Ringma of the Christian Reformed Church, who conduct-ed a short service.
“We celebrate their lives and we remember their death,” said Ringma of the reasoning behind the memorial, which is believed to be the first in the province.
Ringma read a passage from Romans Chapter 8: “For we are sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor demons, nor the present, nor the future, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
He then led the audience in the Lord’s Prayer before asking for a minute’s silence.
A dedication was read by retired insurance agent Frank Donahue and Terrace city councillor Lynne Christiansen read a message from mayor Dave Pernarowski.
Just behind the memorial is a more personal one created by McRae – a crosscut saw and two hard hats nailed to a large tree.
A highlight of the afternoon was the unveiling of a larger-than life depiction of a logger, com-plete with high-topped boots, created out of a ce-dar log by local chainsaw carver J.J. Jung.
Jung said he spent approximately two weeks working on the carving.
It’ll be placed close by the memorial.
By FRANK DONAHUE
JUST WHAT is a memorial?We will define it as a last-
ing symbol of remembrance and tribute to lives ended by those who provided value to friends, neighbours, family and country.
And that’s what we’ve gathered here to accomplish.
This memorial is also a tribute to those men who survived, having the courage to carry on the work within days of losing a co-worker and friend – knowing there would be a funeral within days.
A tribute to the women who prepared lunchbuck-ets – sending their men off to the bush most often with silent prayers for their safe return.
These women became the backbone of the house-hold – handling many daily chores, the finances, family discipline, and this applied to those widows whose men
would never return.There’s the story of a
young woman who, while washing her husband’s bush gear, takes in the smells of woods, and remembers her own dad.
There are many names once so familiar with the bush – Hobenshields, Ad-ams, Little, Sarich, Long, Houlden, Jackson, Sk-oglund, and McRae.
These were followed by Munson, Elsworth, Hull, Cutler, Almgren, Wood, Takhar, Penner and so many others – even Martin and Ryan – to more current Lax Kw’alaams and Hoi Choi.
Yes these were the cap-tains of industry – but check these names and they are among the community builders we respect today.
Of course, there are so many others who supported the logging industry and made similar contributions to our prosperity and devel-opment, but we don’t pay
sufficient homage to our loggers.
And therefore this log-gers’ memorial is long over-due.
Logging built our roads, schools, public buildings, paid for the infrastructure that allowed our homes and businesses to become real-ity.
Logging provided food on our table, clothes on our back and shelter from the el-ements.
We are the product of a logging community.
If you’ve spent time in the northwest, you’ve been touched by logging.
Families of the fallen have not forgotten – nor should we.
Frank Donahue is a re-tired insurance agent who spent years providing insur-ance and others services to forest industry workers.
He provided this tribute at the Usk loggers’ memorial dedication April 27, 2014.

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988
THE PROVINCIAL Liberal govern-ment continues to hitch its political wagon to the potential for a massive lique� ed natural gas (LNG) industry by announcing an ambitious plan to rejig the K-12 education system to emphasize skills training.
Political considerations aside, this is good news. Even if two of the promised LNG projects go ahead, there’s going to be a huge demand for skilled labour.
Unstated, of course, is the knowl-edge that if the province does not do more to prepare its citizens for em-ployment, then the jobs will be � lled by people from elsewhere.
Nowhere is that more evident than in this area where worker accommo-dation camps are starting to spring up. Witness the preparations under-way at the Skeena Industrial Devel-opment Park for a camp for Paci� c Trails Pipeline workers (this pipe-line would feed natural gas to the planned Kitimat LNG plant).
Numerous conferences here in the past several years attended by large companies and regional training and social services agencies have em-phasized the need to better prepare northwesterners for employment.
It would be naive to assume that each and every one of the direct or indirect LNG jobs will be � lled by a northwesterner.
But in a region of chronic – and his-torical – unemployment, a concerted effort should and must be made to ensure northwesterners share in any LNG-derived bounty.

Careless waste of any kind pains me, from food to gas to heat.
Anyone who grew up sur-viving prairie winters learned doors should be kept closed as much as possible.
I can still hear Dad’s frus-trated, “For goodness sake, close the door!” (his words were unprintable) as one of us waited for the cat to trot outside and fog curled over the kitchen � oor like a tsu-nami crashing on shore. This was before the invention of Fiberglas insulation; in minutes, the house could be cooled off.
We heated our farmhouse with coal – $40 a ton when a cow was worth about that amount – and wood, scraw-ny poplars pulled from sur-rounding bluffs, cut down with an axe or a Swede saw, and hauled home by the sleigh load to be sawed with a 24 inch blade powered by the John Deere.
All winter my older brother had the job of car-rying into the kitchen every day enough wood for Mom’s range.
Hollywood moviemakers fail to appreciate the cost of heating a home. Movie after
movie shows actors stand-ing in a doorway while snow falls, leisurely chatting with a visitor or worse yet, walk-ing away into another room leaving the door wide open. I want to shout, “For goodness sake, close the door!”
Recently I watched – again – “A Home of Our Own” with Kathy Bates as the mother of her “tribe” of six kids who arranges to buy, on elastic payback terms, a partially built house on an acreage next to a market gar-den owned and operated by a widowed Chinese man.
It’s fall when the family moves into the house which lacks windows, doors, even
one or two walls.The roof is bare rafters.
With donated carpentry help, they make the main � oor habitable before snow � ies, but they only have time to drape canvas over the raf-ters as a roof and insulate throughout with crumpled newspaper.
Bates supports her tribe by working as a waitress. One kid works after school in a neighbouring salvage yard and pulls home on a child’s makeshift wagon useful items such as a wood heater, a bathtub, even a green � ush toilet.
During an early trip to town, the local Catholic priest invites the family to join his church and take ad-vantage of donated clothing for sale in their thrift shop. Though reluctant to accept any sort of charity, Bates does out� t her family with thrift shop clothing.
She draws the line, though, when the priest shows up on Christmas Eve stacked to his chin with wrapped gifts for the family. She meets him at the door, opens it wide, and stands blocking it as she explains her philosophy on charity versus industry. Behind her,
in a room partitioned into bedrooms by hanging sheets, one kid bathes in the bath-tub. Three younger kids have just been dried off and stand dressed in nighties.
Beyond the priest, you can see a landscape of white and imagine cold rushing in as Bates, a bath towel draped over one shoulder, explains her reasons for rejecting the gifts before � nally closing the door. It’s a wonder by then the kid in the bathtub isn’t frozen like an insect in a glass cube.
This movie – in this re-spect – is typical of movies set in New England par-ticularly about rich families. Their stories generally take place a day or two before Thanksgiving or Christmas for greatest drama and con-� ict. They may drive Fer-raris, dress in furs, and be able to afford a gigantic heat-ing bill, but they do noth-ing to encourage viewers to economize on fuel consump-tion.
Heat allowed to escape into the outdoors is as ben-e� cial as good food thrown into the dumpster.

Donations tell an interesting story
Terrace Standard Wednesday, May 7, 2014 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7
So what does a Conserva-tive party senator from Ontario, the Toronto Blue Jays, an Ontario
public sector union and a part-owner of the Calgary Flames all have in common? If their cheque-book is any indication, they have a keen interest in B.C. politics.
Ontario Senator Nancy Ruth donated $5,000 to the BC Green party in 2013, the Blue Jays passed the mitt round the dugout to scrape up $300 for the BC Lib-eral party, CUPE Ontario gave $500 to the BC NDP and Allan Markin, part-owner of the Cal-gary Flames, gave $100,000 to the BC Liberals.
Who knew folk outside B.C. cared so much?
All of this is gleaned from that annual rite of spring: the financial filings of B.C.’s political parties. Each April, B.C.’s registered po-litical parties file their annual re-ports, offering a glimpse at how the parties are funded and how they spend that money.
Most donors to B.C.’s main political parties can be lumped into a few broad categories.
There’s the ‘boy, that’s not a shock’ donor group, donations
such as the BC Federation of La-bour’s $110,401 to the B.C. NDP or the BCGEU’s $421,802. Al-though, it may shock a few that the BCTF didn’t give to the NDP in 2013. It’s a long-standing prac-tice of the BCTF not to donate to political parties of any stripe.
There’s the ‘what ever were they thinking when they signed that cheque’ donor. Like the $10,000 donation that Toronto-based Postmedia, owner of the Vancouver Sun and Province, made to the Liberals.
Then there’s the ‘we’ve got money to burn’ donor crowd.
West Fraser Mills gave $99,495 to the Liberals and $500 to the NDP. West Fraser was one of two forestry companies recent-ly caught cutting healthy timber meant for future harvests when they were supposed to be harvest-ing dead and dying pine.
The company could have faced a hefty fine, but after assur-ing the minister in the strongest of all possible terms that it would never ever happen again, scout’s honour, they walked away with a slap on the wrist, as did the other company involved – Jimmy Pat-tison’s Canfor.
Calgary-based Burnco Rock Products donated $34,000 to the Liberals, bringing their eight-year running total to $219,700.
Presumably with a sharp eye on the polls – and after years of giving exclusively to the Liberals – they finally found some moola for the NDP. But talk about cut-ting it close. With just a week to spare before voting day, Burnco cut two cheques to the NDP total-ling $12,500.
Burnco has big plans for a large scale gravel mine at McNab
Creek at the northern end of Howe Sound. If it gets the green light, it’ll crush and process grav-el 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
And even though it’s hard at work trying to meet the 209 con-ditions of the Joint Review Panel, Northern Gateway Pipelines still found time to cut seven cheques totalling $23,050 to the Liberals.
The New Car Dealers Asso-ciation of BC gave $180,000 to the Liberals, bringing their nine-year benevolence to $1,061,527. Coincidentally, the only major tax change that survived the tran-sition from the HST to the PST was the 12 per cent sales tax on vehicles sold privately, as in not from a dealer’s lot.
RCI Capital gave $6,000 to the Liberals. That’s the company that once had a subsidiary that Premier Christy Clark was once chair of but according to her never once worked for and was never paid for not doing any of that work.
The Great Canadian Gaming Corporation gave $24,080 to the NDP, but not so much as a poker chip to the Liberals.
That may be the result of the Liberals choosing not to accept
money from gambling companies – at least directly. However, own-ers are a different matter. Prince George resident John S. Major gave $60,000 to the Liberals last year, bringing his six-year total to $269,390. That’s a lot of chips. Major owns the Treasure Cove Casino.
Who knew that professional sports teams were political junk-ies as well? In addition to the Blue Jays, the Vancouver Giants gave the B.C. Liberals $300, the Vancouver Whitecaps gave $2,500 and the BC Lions forked out $13,150. No doubt about who they were cheering for.
And who was the fairest – or most generous – leader of them all in 2013? John Cummins hands down. He gave the BC Conserva-tives $8,260. Adrian Dix gave the NDP $1,775 and Green leader Jane Sterk gave the BC Greens $645.
What about Premier Christy Clark? Well her name doesn’t ac-tually appear on the list of donors who gave the Liberals more than $250 in 2013.

Dear Sir:Hats off to David Black’s clear
account of a better way to hold more permanent oil patch jobs in the area.
Also it points out the economic deceptions in the Enbridge proposals. Theirs is an economics of lack, gen-erated by corporate self-interest with short term benefits to the area.
The times demand we separate the wheat from the chaff. Our economics is in the grip of a totalitarian oligar-chy of rule by a few whose interests are selfish and narrow in outlook. They are using deceptive advertising to further their cause.
The saving point is that we live in a democracy where we can all ex-ercise our free will. It is a matter of choice and in spite of the magnitude of the infiltration of distorted values, that choice is a simple and easy one.
The chaff is an economics of lack where more is never enough. This at-titude misses the purpose of wealth which is meant to bring individual happiness and satisfaction. The mind is always agitated in such a state.
The wheat is the sweetness of a set-tled mind, at peace with what one has and a knowingness that future needs will be met. It is a state of abundance where one can live life at peace with ourselves and those around us.
As said the choice is an easy one.
Nothing can be done about others but every one of us can choose to place a moment of stillness in our lives at any time, maybe just a few minutes before and after work.
It will be found that a few mo-ments of stillness can grow into a bit of peace of mind. It’s very magical. Soon a bit of balance begins to grow in our individual lives and a feeling of satisfaction comes along.
It is because out of the stillness all life emerges and that source is ac-cessed for us in our quiet moments. It is an easy pleasant moment that makes life worth living again.

Dear Sir:We’d like to address the April 30, 2014 article on
the homeless count and the comment made about Ksan Society shelters.
We acknowledge that it’s not a perfect atmo-sphere for all clients and that some choose to sleep outside. We have two shelters that are funded for 16 beds, each with a maximum capacity of 21.
Ksan Residence and Shelter also has overflow for three more people – this makes 45 individuals who we are able to accommodate each night.
These shelters require communal living that some people may find difficult to tolerate.
We’ve identified three main concerns that may deter people from staying with us: rules at the shel-ters, personality clashes, and non-tolerance for al-cohol/drugs.
Regardless of the complex issues, we are of-ten at maximum capacity and have never heard of someone staying in a dumpster instead of one of our shelters.

Rail crossing projectcost rising sharplyTHE CITY’S portion of safety improvements need-ed at the Frank St. rail crossing has gone up again.
What was to be a $350,000 project with the city paying 25 per cent of that and the province pay-ing the rest when first laid out last year rose first to $600,000 and is now estimated at $800,000.
The extra cost comes from the need to move power poles and CN equipment so the crossing can be widened, said the highways ministry in a state-ment.
Part of that work involves extending a culvert down the length of Howe Creek just to the west of the crossing.
It means the city will now have to find another $50,000 on top of the $150,000 that was first bud-geted to meet the city’s 25 per cent commitment when the project was to cost $600,000.
But city public works director Rob Schibli said grants are being sought from other agencies to buf-fer the cost.
“The City of Terrace is a funding partner with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure on the project, the city will be responsible for 25 per cent of the construction costs and 50 per cent of the ongoing operational costs,” he said.
“The construction costs will be divided between the city and [transportation ministry] after all other funding sources have been deducted from the total project costs.”
The crossing was closed to vehicle traffic com-pletely for a period last June under orders by Trans-port Canada after two reports were received of ap-proaching trains encountering long vehicles on the tracks.
There isn’t enough room between the rail tracks and the intersection of Frank St. and Hwy16 for a long vehicle to safely come to a stop at the highway intersection.
And that means northbound long vehicles end
up blocking the tracks while waiting until it is safe to turn onto Hwy16.
The project, which is to be completed this sum-mer, also involves the installation of traffic lights at Frank St. and Hwy16.
Those lights will be timed to work in synch with CN’s lights and gate already installed at the Frank St. crossing to eliminate any possibility of long vehicles blocking the tracks when trains are approaching.
The result will be similar to the traffic lights at Kenney St. and Hwy16 just north of the Kenney St. Crossing.
The intersection was reopened last July after the city and the provincial highways ministry worked out a deal to install the highway lights. Long ve-hicle restrictions were also emphasized.
Businesses along Keith Ave. just south of Frank St. have regarded the Frank St. crossing as an im-portant outlet for long vehicle traffic.
Without access to the crossing, long vehicles would then have to use either the Kenney St. cross-ing or the Sande Overpass further east.
“The intersection will be widened and there will be new traffic signals installed similar to the one at Kenney St. which will be integrated with the CN rail signal system,” the highways ministry state-ment indicates.
“The system controls the traffic lights and regu-lates the traffic flow as traffic approaches the lights giving motorists ample warning of an approaching train.”
The statement added that a safer Frank St. cross-ing for long vehicles will ease traffic conditions at the Kenney St. crossing and on the Sande Overpass.
A company called Westcana has been contract-ed to install the lights and equipment on the project.
Preparation work in advance of the lights being installed is underway.

THE PRELIMINARY work on the Frank St. intersection revamp has commenced, with various markers and traffic control pylons showing where the excavation will happen.
Bumpy passage eliminatedDRIVERS AND cyclists now have a much smooth-er passage crossing the CN railway tracks at Ken-ney St. and Hwy 16.
The crossing was closed Sunday and Monday so crews could install concrete panels running parallel to the tracks and thus eliminate the bumpy asphalt ridges that had been there.
They’re similar to the ones installed on Hwy16 at an old set of tracks running from CN’s mainline across the highway to the Skeena Sawmills location
just west of the Hwy16 and Hwy113 intersection. “The City of Terrace has purchased the pre-cast
concrete crossing panels and they are stored at the site,” said city public works director Rob Schibli in advance of the work.
“CN Rail has agreed to install the panels at their cost, the city will be responsible for the remaining tie-in works. Under the crossing agreement for the site, the city is responsible for maintenance of the road at the crossing,” he said.

A LOCAL man will not have a record if he follows his probation conditions.
Allan Ross Barabash was handed a conditional discharge and probation for one year in provincial court here April 23.
Barabash had earlier pleaded guilty to two charges of possession of stolen property under $5,000.
On Nov. 15, 2013, Terrace RCMP were called when a suspicious man was noticed trying doors of vehicles parked at the Husky on Lakelse Ave.,
said police at that time. Police located the 64-year-old man
on Lakelse, arrested him for theft and seized numerous stolen items found on him, said police.
These items were returned to four separate businesses in the area of Lakelse and the man was released on conditions, said police.
Barabash will also have to pay a victim fine surcharge of $100.
A charge of breaching an under-taking was stayed by the court.

It’s spring car cleaning time, inside and outIf a road trip is part of your vacation plans this summer, it’s time to get the horseless chariot prepared.That means cleaning it inside and out and performing some important maintenance to ensure you get the best fuel economy.In most parts of B.C., the swap from winter tires to all-season or summer tires is already well under way (studded winter tire removal is mandatory by April 30). Winter tires are made with a softer and stickier rubber compound that wears faster and increases fuel consumption at higher temperatures. They also tend to be noisier and you’ll hear them even more, now that you can finally roll down the windows.You may also be dragging around too much junk in the trunk, like that snow shovel you always pack during in the winter months. Unnecessary weight increases fuel consumption and some of that extra weight could be in the form of mud and dirt on your vehicle’s undercar-riage. Road salt is probably also trapped in that muddy mess, which is a corrosion accelerant that your vehicle’s body doesn’t need. While you’re poking around in the trunk, take a look under the floor cover. Water leaking into the vehicle tends to accumulate in the lowest spots, or maybe that’s why it’s called a spare-wheel well. If the spare is a conventional tire, check its inflation pressure and, while you’re at it, make sure that the emergency jack and tool kit are also in good working order.
An easy check and repair item is lighting. You may need some help confirming that the brake and backup lights are functioning at the rear. Otherwise, it’s a simple walk-around check that should include the turn signals and head-lights (both low and high beams) and don’t forget the license plate and those little side marker lights. If you’ve got a vehicle with a headlight (clear plastic) cover that’s showing its age, there are some good products on the market now that help restore clarity. Wiper blades are another easy check and replace item. A build-up of grease or grim on the windshield will also reduce the effectiveness of the wipers. Clean
the rubber wiper blade with a soft cloth soaked in the glass cleaner. In B.C., those windshield wipers typically work harder than anywhere else in Canada and life expectancy can be less than a year. If they’re still streaking, chattering or generally not doing the job – replace them.Getting back to tires, a loaded vehicle driven at highway speeds for prolonged periods in hot weather conditions can be a punishing test for tires and the dreaded blow-out is a real concern. Even a tire that looks okay and has plenty of tread remaining may not be in great shape. The “best before” date on most passenger tires is eight years old and you should be able to find a date of manufacture stamped somewhere on sidewall of the tire.
A tire also performs best, lasts longer and provides best fuel economy when its internal pressure is set at a level recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, and checked on a regular basis. The tire decal, with optimal front and rear recommended tire pressures, is usually on the driver’s door or door jam. If not, the owner’s manual should give you the information and/or tell you where the tire decal is located. A single under-inflated tire (by about 6 psi /40 kPa) can cause a 3 per cent increase in fuel consumption.Using a grade of fuel with a lower octane rating than recommended by the vehicle manufacturer may cause the engine to ping or knock on hard acceleration or when climbing hills, which is not good for the engine! On the other hand, using a higher-octane fuel than your vehicle’s engine needs is generally a waste of money. That said, the pricier fuel may also contain some additional cleaner additives, which is good. Have a great summer and a safe driving vacation.

I was getting good at this, so I purchased a used vehicle in the U.S. and imported it. It didn’t have any airbags, so the warning lights were on. But I wasn’t picky. I knew, based on my other tricks, I could solve that before I had it inspected and registered.You just couldn’t be too worried about the truth. I Googled airbags. I saw I had three options. Get certifi ed replacements installed at a repair shop. Buy some and install them myself. Or, override the warning light.I called and found that the fi rst option was out of the question. Way too expensive. But, option two had some promise. There were cheap ones online. Of course, there were some warnings about dangerous fake airbags.Option three, overriding the warning lights, went too far – even for me. You can fi nd how-to videos about anything on the web. So, I ordered cheap ones and had them sent to my U.S. mailbox. I used a buddy’s garage and put them in. Bingo! The warning lights went off and I was on my way. Soon, I had an ad up on several classifi ed websites:Great car for sale. Moving out of the country and need to sell fast! Good condition. Recently inspected. Call cell. I’m fl exible on price!!I couldn’t believe how many calls I had.I found my buyer not long after. A nice man about my age; divorced with three kids. That’s all I know about him – I don’t like getting too personal. I was actually honest about the vehicle this time. I told him that the car had been in an
accident and was from the U.S. I asked if he wanted a vehicle history report*, but he declined. He appreciated my honesty, as he’d gone through a few bad deals. With the transaction done, we parted ways. Then I got a call from my buddy.Being a curious person, he’d read the boxes the airbags came in that I’d left at his shop. “You installed counterfeit airbags,” he said. “So? They look identical to the original airbags,” I said.“I’ve seen videos of bogus airbags catching fi re and with metal bits exploding when they deploy. They’re not safe,” he scolded. I’ll take my chances, I thought. It would only be a problem in an accident.The next day, my buddy left a message. He ended our friendship.Whoa, chill out. A guy’s got a right to make a few bucks.

Life of two wheels is incredible. Just ask anyone who rides. But part of that appeal is finding a riding style that fits your personal preference.There are many different ways to get you on the open (or dirt) road to enjoy the best of the great outdoors. I’ll suggest some new makes and models to consider in each category, but by no means are these the be-all-end-all of choices. CruisersCruisers have mass appeal because of their low seat heights, generally comfort-able ergonomics and ability to get you from point A to B in style. Some models have the foot pegs stretched forward, some don’t. They might not be the most nimble bikes around but they certainly do have mass appeal. Better yet, they come in all different sizes, shapes and displace-ments making it even more accessible to riders.Bikes: Honda CTX700, Yamaha Bolt, Harley-Davidson Superlow 1200T, Suzuki Boulevard C50Sport TourerWant a sportier edge while still maintain-ing the comfort associated with riding for extended periods of time? Consider a sport touring motorcycle. They’re generally not as heavy or as elaborate as a full on touring bike, so you get the best of both worlds.Bikes: BMW K1300S, BMW K1600GT, Yamaha FJR1300, Honda VFR1200TouringWhen asked how I’d describe a Touring bike I say: not small! These machines are typically heavy, but come equipped with the technology and luxuries that can take you across the country and further. Their fuel tanks are generally much bigger so you can keep going for longer. Furthermore, storage compartments, relatively speaking, are quite generous.Bikes: Harley-Davidson Electra Glide/Ultra Limited, Honda Goldwing, Suzuki Boulevard C90T B.O.S.S. TrialsThose looking into trying riding without the high speeds might fall in love with trials riding. But get ready for a workout. If you look, there’s no seat. That’s because you’re meant to stand. Trials is a slow speed type of thrill where you manage obstacles and find ways to do things that even you didn’t think was possible. Think: riding up huge logs, up
steep hills and over some interesting terrain. Either way, it’s a lot of fun and both physically and mentally challenging. Bikes: Montesa Cota 4RT, Beta 200, Gas Gas TXT ProDirtPlaying in the dirt has never been so much fun! No, really. It’s true. Whether you’re young or young at heart, dirt bikes are a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Dirt bikes are restricted to the dirt, meaning, unless you have a dual sport
bike that has a license plate, you can’t ride them in the road. That said, they’re generally quite affordable and are extremely durable. Since there are so many different kinds to choose from, I’ll list the manufacturers that make themBikes: Honda, KTM, Yamaha, Husqvarna, Kawa-saki, Suzuki, ApriliaAdventure Take the road less traveled, but take the road when you want! Adventure bikes have an un-canny ability to get you through some incredible terrain. Bikes: BMW F700GS/F800GS/R1200GS, Suzuki V-Strom, KTM 1190 AdventureSportIf you’re looking for the ultimate performance machine, a sport bike is the way to go. These are the bikes that are generally designed
with the racetrack in mind but are street legal. They have more horsepower than you’ll ever need and harness the engineering prowess of the best of the best. That said, they have an aggressive seating position and aren’t always suited for taller riders. Then again, if we really want some-thing to work, we make it work!Bikes: Ducati Panigale 899/1199, MV Agusta F3, Honda CBR600RR/1000RR, Suzuki GSX-R 750/1000, Yamaha R6/R1, Kawasaki NinjaNakedNo, I’m not suggesting riding in your birthday suit! Naked bikes tend to have a more upright seating and handlebar position and are devoid of fancy bodywork covering the engine and mechanical components. You still get quite a bit of sportiness out of these, but without the aggressive seating and the stress on your wrists.Some Naked bikes are: Triumph Street Triple, Triumph Speed Triple, Ducati Streetfighter 848, Honda NC700X, Yamaha FZ-09.Of course, there are café racers, customs bikes and more. I could go on!

A recent jaunt to Beijing was a major revelation, from the sheer size of the population to the massive car market and the types of cars people there like to buy.In the luxury segment, elongated versions of existing sedan are very popular. There “long” wheelbase cars instantly show that the owner has attained a certain level of status and a big part of that is being chauffer driven.In Canada, we have long wheelbase sedans but typically, they are top models like a BMW 7 Series or S-Class Mer-cedes. In China, even base models like the BMW 3 Series or Audi A4 have stretched versions. I raise this because the all-new BMW 335GT is the long wheelbase 3 Series, developed for China, modified for a niche market here. LooksAdding 10 cms of additional legroom to the back seat
of the 335GT opens up a different experience for rear passengers. The GT offers slightly higher seating position and roofline with a hatchback design that makes for a dramatic and functional car. BMW does have a 3 Series station wagon but it looks like a wagon, this design mimics a sedan silhouette with only a slight hint of the cars true practicality. There is a wing that emerges out of the hatch at highway speeds to produce more down force, similar to the one found in Porsche’s Panamera. The GT is sold as a 328GT, with a $48,990 starting price. It has a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and 18-inch wheels. The $56,990 335GT has a larger turbocharged 6-cylinder engine and 19-inch wheels. (The wheels seen here are winter wheels and tires) InsideThe 3 Series sedan is already fitted with top-notch materi-
als and a functional dash. This is carried over to the GT model, so the front seats remain unaltered. It is the back of the car that is dramatically different. With added legroom and a higher roofline the GT feels open, especially when fitted with the panoramic roof. My kids loved the extra space but noticed the doors sit a bit higher compared to a regular mid-size SUV. The hatch has no rear wiper so expect rear visibility to be blurry on rainy or snowy days. (You do get spoiled with a rear wiper on an SUV). The hatch is electronically operated and provides a long and wide cargo area, plus the rear seats fold in a snap. The rear windows and cargo do not have darkened, privacy class like an SUV, which is something I would prefer.

A real stretch for BMW lovers

DriveThe 3 Series sedan has been considered the benchmark in the compact luxury market for decades and a lot of the same goodness is here in the GT. With a longer wheelbase and a slightly higher centre of gravity it doesn’t handle as nimbly as the sedan but it is much better than the taller X3 SUV. The power from either 241 hp turbocharged 4-cyl-inder or the 300 hp turbocharged 6-cyl-inder engines goes to all four wheels and is shifted through a very slick 8-speed auto box. There are settings for
vehicle dynamics and suspension from “Eco” to “Sport Plus” that can take this car from relaxed to athletic at the push of a button. I really enjoyed driv-ing in sport mode and getting the full effect of the 335GT, as the in-line turbo 6-cylinder is still one of the best power plants on the road. For buyers looking to save on fuel and when purchasing, the 328GT is still a potent machine.VerdictThe GT falls into a very nice spot in the 3 Series family, and I include the X3 in that group. The sedan is a great car but not as practical as the X3. Yes the X3 has traditional SUV appeal but looses
some of the sedans nimbleness. This is where the GT plays. It has a bigger car-go area than the X3, more rear legroom but it also has more a sedan stance on the road. The price is more expensive than the X3 so this is a premium offer-ing in the BMW family. If I were in the market for a BMW the 335GT or less expensive 328GT would be in the run-ning. With kids I lake having and SUV but still want the fun and stability that a sedan offers. This GT might just be the right balance for some. So thank you China for helping to bring a unique new class of car to our [email protected]

PTI GROUP CEO Ron Green, left, speaks with Kitimat-Stikine regional district directors Ted Ramsey, middle, and Doug McLeod over the company’s plans for land it has bought near Churchill Drive in Thornhill.
Large laundry figuresin company camp plansAN INDUSTRIAL laundry facility is one of the top priorities for the Edmonton company that plans to build semi-permanent work camps in Kitimat and Port Edward and which recently bought land in Thornhill, according to their CEO speaking at a Terrace city council committee of the whole meet-ing May 1.
PTI Group CEO Ron Green said the property just off Hwy37 South and north of the Churchill Drive subdivision will likely be used for infrastruc-ture to service large camps elsewhere.
“We need a laundry,” said Green. “It would make sense to put it centralized to where the projects are and that would make Terrace a good choice.”
He said afterward a laundry facility would be approximately 4,000 square feet and would pro-cess the bedsheets and other items from work camp rooms transported in mass loads from camps.
Terrace is too far from the planned work sites to house construction workers for planned LNG fa-cilities in either Kitimat or Prince Rupert but the Thornhill property could be used for services need-ed for those other locations, he said.
Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine planner Ted Pellegrino, who was also at the meeting represent-ing the district with others, said the regional dis-trict doesn’t currently have zoning regulations for industrial laundry facilities within residential sub-divisions.
“We would have to create a zone designation around that,” said Pellegrino, adding that would have to be an addition to the current zoning or the creation of a new zone.
PTI vice president of business development Sean Crockett told Terrace council during his pre-sentation that it aims to build confidence and famil-iarity with the company before any development, a timeline for which he said the company doesn’t yet have.
Currently the approximately 93-acre area now
owned by PTI is zoned residential and was desig-nated as a potential area for residential develop-ment by the regional district.
There are several logistical considerations on the table besides the laundry facility.
Clients desire air service for their workers, he said, which means that all the luggage gets trans-ported separately while workers are bussed to the airport for their flights. The staging area for this service, which reduces crowding, could be located on the Churchill land.
“You’re going to see a tsunami of people coming in and your airport is going to be well taxed to sup-port to keep up,” Green continued.
Green said PTI has not ruled out putting out some form of temporary accommodation at the lo-cation for workers in between work assignments.
“We have talked about transition rooms, as well, 300-500 rooms potentially that could end up sup-porting tourism up here eventually,” he said.
Crockett gave an initial presentation that showed PTI as an international company that had done worker accommodation projects in several coun-tries and that stays in communities for at least 10 years. He said worker accommodation reduces strain on housing and helps communities experi-encing booms to ride out the highs and lows that are inevitable during large-scale industrial develop-ment and operation.
In response to a question from city councillor Bruce Bidgood as to whether there could be a com-ponent of affordable housing worked into the de-velopment, Green said that he wasn’t sure but that the facility could lend itself to senior housing or student housing afterwards.
“We are in a position to do long term housing for seniors, we have that sort of infrastructure in there. It could be transitioned into a care facility,” he said, stressing that anything like that would have to be part of a project undertaken by another entity.
THE RELAY for Life takes over the track at Skeena Middle School this weekend with more participants and teams than last year.
Forty-five teams with 407 participants were reg-istered as of May 1, up from last year’s 40 teams of 369 participants.
The goal this year is to raise $170,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. Twenty-five per cent, $41,898.43, was already raised as of May 1.
While the teams are taking their turns around the
track, virtual teams will be there in spirit with a tent and their names, while their members who wanted to participate but had to work note their participa-tion with a sign in the window of their workplaces and wearing their relay t-shirts.
The event kicks off with the survivor’s lap and finishes off its 12 hours with the luminaries as the sun is setting at 10 p.m. this Saturday, May 10.
The money raised from the event goes towards cancer prevention programs and survivor support.

NORTHWEST RESIDENTS should hope a warm spring and summer extends into a warm fall to de-lay for as long as possible the impact of price hikes for both electricity and natural gas.
BC Hydro increased its rates by nine per cent as of April 1 and, because of a large jump in the price of natural gas, Pacific Northern Gas (PNG) upped its residential rate by more than 10 per cent on April 1 as well.
The rate at the beginning of the year was $3.50 a gigajoule for natural gas but it is now $5.593 a gigajoule.
BC Hydro’s nine per cent bump is the first of a series designed to raise prices by a cumulative 28 per cent by 2019.
The increase schedule follows years of low rate increases which, according to BC Hydro, affected its ability to maintain its current facilities as well as to build new ones.
The crown corporation also pays an annual divi-dend to the provincial government.
This first hike is the highest of the five planned to 2019 with the 2015 price increase pegged at six per cent.
Meanwhile, several years of low prices for natu-ral gas appear to be over and that’s affected the rate being charged by Pacific Northern Gas.
“North America markets have experienced some of the coldest weather in over a decade this past winter, resulting in significant drawdown of natu-ral gas storage inventory levels, combined with re-duced production levels – there has been upward pressure and significant volatility in gas commod-ity prices in recent months,” said Janet Kennedy, a PNG official.
“Based on these conditions, natural gas rates have increases all across North America – the in-creases are not unique to PNG’s service territory or British Columbia.”
Natural gas utilities are not allowed to add on to the cost of natural gas that passes through their lines to customers.
The delivery rate for natural gas went up mar-ginally as of April 1 for a residential commodity and delivery rate that is now $17.753 a gigajoule, not including government taxes and fees, compared to $15.705 as of Jan. 1 which itself was an increase over the $14.464 a gigajoule that was charged last November.
Rates in the past could have been higher had not it been for payments made by a company to hold space in PNG’s existing line for a small liquefied natural gas plant planned for Kitimat.
That option money for what’s generally called the BCLNG project was paid into what’s called a deferral account and as of Dec. 31, 2014 the re-maining balance was $1.6 million from a one-time total of $7.5 million.
Kennedy said approximately $6 million paid into the account was used over the past four years to reduce delivery costs by approximately 5 per cent.
Kennedy said PNG has asked its regulator, the B.C. Utilities Commission, for permission to use the remaining money this year to lower delivery rates by just under five per cent.
“PNG has recommended that this balance be fully amortized in 2014 which would result in all the option fee payments received to date being fully credited to PNG [North] West’s customers by the end of 2014,” she said.
As it is, the delivery rates paid by PNG’s north-west customers are higher than elsewhere ever since heavy industry, particularly pulp mills, left the region.
Because those industries used a lot of natural gas, their revenues contributed greatly to the ongo-ing maintenance and upkeep of PNG’s line.
But without those users, residential and small business customers now have to pay more to main-tain PNG’s operations.
This means the only hope for lower delivery prices is for the excess capacity of PNG’s line to be taken up once again.
And although the BCLNG project planned for Kitimat does have space reserved in the PNG line, it’s suffering from financial troubles and is in credi-tor protection.
The original option agreement does, however, require PNG to credit back to the BCLNG project a large portion of the option fees that were paid should that project ever proceed.
While BCLNG forfeited $1 million of the $7.5 million it paid in option fees because it did not meet a deadline to start taking gas from the PNG line, it will receive credit for the remaining $6.5 million should it straighten out its financial troubles and the project get underway. Late last week a deal was an-nounced which could see BCLNG being sold.

TERRACE’S 14U select volleyball team showed strong at the Volley-ball BC Club Provincials at the Tra-dex Centre in Abbotsford late last month.
The Six Packs � nished fourth in their division – the tournament fea-tured four divisions with 16 teams each, with the top eight teams in each division marked Tier 1 and the bottom eight teams marked Tier 2. Terrace competed in Division 2, Tier 1 as a result of their strong showing at regionals.
Terrace won their � rst round robin match April 25 against the Burnaby Action Club in two straight sets. The � rst set stayed close but by the middle of the set Terrace was able to keep a small lead with tight serves and defense to win 25-20. In the second set, Terrace pulled out to an early lead which then grew to 12 before Burnaby came back strong with solid serves and net play to close the gap. With the score 23-22 for Terrace, Terrace called a time-out before coming back to � nish the set with a 25-23 win.
In the � rst set of game two
against the Richmond Air Attack Terrace pulled out to a lead and never looked back winning 25-11. In the second set, Delaney Kitch-en went on an impressive serving streak of 15 straight serves and then Jayde Gingles followed with a six
straight serve streak to win the set 25-9.
Friday’s � nal round robin match was against the Victoria Chargers. While they were a good passing team, Terrace kept the pressure on to win 25-18 and 25-22.
At 3-0 in round robin play, � rst in their pool, and having not lost a single set, Terrace advanced to the Division 2, Tier 1 playoffs, begin-ning with a quarter� nal match against Langley Rain City, who had a 2 – 1 record. Terrace struggled in the � rst set with long rallies and poor defense and lost 18-25. In the second set, the lead went back and fourth, with Terrace able to steal the win 26-24 forcing a third set. The score stayed close and both teams played cautiously until � nally Sey-enna Lee � nished with two strong serves to end the match 15-12 in favor of Terrace.
This win set up a semi-� nal match versus the also undefeated Coquitlam Ducks, who proved to be a very tough opponent for Ter-race as Coquitlam took the lead ear-ly with strong attacks and blocking at the net as well as tipping to open areas. Coquitlam defeated Terrace in two straight sets 18-25 and 17-25.
This loss led to a bronze medal match against the Burnaby Action club, who they’d defeated in round
robin play. The close match was very tense and tight right to the end, with Terrace winning the � rst set 26-24. In the second set, Burnaby came out strong and took the lead. Terrace trailed by a small margin but was able to catch up and tie it at 23 before facing dif� culty with a couple of passes. Terrace’s 27-25 loss forced a third deciding set, which saw Burnaby take a small lead and Terrace struggle to � nish plays, leading to long rallies. In the end, Terrace lost this set 15-13, giv-ing the Terrace Six Packs a fourth place � nish in Division 2, Tier 1 at the 14U 2014 Volleyball Club Provincials – 20th overall of the 60 teams total.
The provincials proved to be an amazing experience for the team and the players have a lot to be proud of, said coach Frank Marrelli, noting that Terrace � nished ahead of the two Prince George teams, the only other northern teams to com-pete.
Next up, many of the players get ready for BC Summer Games try-outs.

Nordstrom tapped by RocketsTERRACE BANTAM Nick Nordstrom, 15, has been plucked by the Kelowna Rockets, the team which � nished � rst in this year’s Western Hock-ey League season. Nordstrom was one of 10 ban-tam prospects selected during the WHL draft in Calgary Wednesday, May 1. He was picked in the 10th round.
“I’m so excited,” he said. “I got calls from other teams and spoke with them but I wasn’t ex-pecting to get drafted by the Rockets.”
Speaking to the draft, the Rockets said they picked up “a lot of guys with size who can skate,” and Nordstrom, 6’2, � ts that bill.
The defenseman caught the eye of scouts at the BC U16 Cup, where he was one of three Ter-race players who made the cut to compete with some of the best in the province. That was the � rst time the scouts had seen Nordstrom play.
Kelowna Rockets assistant GM and director of player personnel Lorne Frey said considering the level of play he would have played at all year (coming from a small town in northwest), he per-formed very well against the other top players his age from across the province.
“We were very pleased with his overall abil-ity. He has good size and is a good skater,” said Frey. “Considering the level he had played at all year, he handled himself very well competing with those guys. He’s potentially a very good player.”

It was January. It was cold, of course. As we crossed the Newer Bridge out� ow winds shook the truck. l could only see the bones of the Older
Bridge through the blowing snow. It was dusty stuff, not enough to cover the Cop-per River Delta and provide a decent ski.
We may have to walk instead, I said to Oona.
Thornhill was nearly whited out. The truck shook even more. As we crossed the Zymoetz I re� exively looked down to the stream then downstream. There was a shape far down and waist deep in Channel Three. I slowed to get a better look. It was a man � shing.
There’s someone � shing there, I said to the dog. Who was hunkered down into the seat and didn’t share my surprise.
I turned onto Lavergne Road, parked at its dead end where I tied on my fur line cap, pulled wool mitts from the pockets of my wool pants, grabbed my walking stick, and struck out down the trail bound the river itching to see who would be � sh-ing it in a January blizzard. The water in the deep, unsightly ruts made by vandals on ATVs, who seem determined to wreck the place, had frozen and were covered in a skiff of � ne snow, as if they were healing over. Oona snuf� ed the spoor of rabbits, foxes, and a moose. Other than wind whip-ping through the tree tops, the place was almost serene.
Fifteen minutes later we passed the foot of the dike where the road opens onto the
river. There was nobody there. For an instant I thought I might have been seeing things. The apparition had van-ished. But no, Down-stream in the nameless pocket that serves as a lay-by for moving sum-mer salmon, and will on a rare occasion do the same for winter travel-lers, was the hard bit-ten, and, by now, wind bitten angler.
We crossed the di-minished side channel on ice. As we neared the � sherman I could see he was casting a long line using a long rod even by today’s standards. He began casting fur-tive glances toward us. I knew that leave-me-alone look well. Here was a guy, obsessed with steelhead, so ea-ger to � nd out more about their behaviour that he was willing to brave the elements in January.
A big old yellow dog that we hadn’t seen lying behind a log on the bank, jumped up and began to bark when we were within casting distance. Oona loped toward it.
She’s friendly I yelled. The angler started for shore.
I just wanted to see what kind of madman would be out here � sh-ing on a day like this, I said smiling and extend-ing my hand.
I’m Rob.Nick. I’d recently signed
on to Twitter and soon found myself followed by a “Rainforest_Nick.” I reciprocated by be-coming his follower, drawn to do so by the numerous pictures of steelhead he was posting on his feed, and thank-ful he wasn’t divulging where he’d found them. Where there were back-drops I recognized them as Skeena.
Rainforest_Nick? I queried.
Yeah.Skeenaangler, I said. You’re a living legend.Maybe in my own mind. Nick had his iPhone out. He began
thumbing through pics of impressive catches he hadn’t yet posted.
Is that a 15-foot rod? No, he said, but I want one. A Bruce
& Walker 15-footer and one of those big Hardy Salmon reels.
Really! I said. That’s the kind of out� t I started with back in 1980 when nobody had two handers in this country – a � fteen foot Hardy Favourite, a Salmon #1, and a forty yard double tapered � y line.
Oh yeah! exclaimed Rainforest_Nick, a 40-yarder. I gotta have one.
Hey, I can � nd you one of those lines. Might still have one. I’ll swap you for a box of Bowen Island Beer, the Variety Pack.
Oona and I walked back to the car. Nick drove around and met us. We talked about old tackle and steelhead. He told me of his stay on Vancouver Island � shing the sad-ly depleted rivers there, and how he had made his way here. I left pleased to have met this young eager retro� sher.
Later I found that Doug had two old 40 yard lines, one in almost mint condition. I tweeted Nick. He showed up. We did the swap. I split the beer with Doug.
The tweets became less frequent. I knew that like most steelhead Bums, Nick was near penury. He told me he would re-luctantly suspend his pursuit to work so he could � x his truck and pay his phone bill.
Then one day I found a link on Twit-ter to this paper. I clicked on it. There was Rainforest_Nick, phone in hand, talking to Anna Killen about how he’d saved a young girl’s life by sheltering her as a stand of alder fell on them during a windstorm.
Nick tweeted that he was in Alberta looking for work, and that his back was still hurting from a blow from an alder.

Full time mayor issuesurfaces once againMAYOR DAVE Per-narowski says he’ll raise the issue of the city having a full time mayor at the next coun-cil meeting.
He’s begun by issu-ing a notice of motion to formally put the mat-ter to the rest of council in time for the May 12 meeting.
“Since it is currently a notice of motion, I won’t speak to it un-til I’ve had a chance to discuss/debate the issue with council at our next regular council meet-ing,” said Pernarowski last week.
But he did raise the issue at the April 28 council meeting when council established a task force to examine the pay issue and report back in June.
That follows through a commitment made in 2011 by council to re-view salaries in three years.
The possibility of making the mayor’s po-sition full time was also debated then.
Pernarowski, at the April 28 council meet-ing, suggested Terrace would be better served by a full-time mayor because the speed of change in the area re-quires the full attention that an extended posi-tion would allow.
He said the issue should be looked at be-fore the current term ex-pires and council terms increase from three years to four as of this November’s local gov-ernment elections.
“I think as a council we are going to have to look at the next four years. What’s going to happen in this region is just going to be incred-ible. We haven’t even seen the beginning yet. And for us to continue to ... to ‘plow along’ … for us to plow along is just not adequate at this point in time,” Per-narowski said.
Elected first to coun-cil in a 2007 byelection, Pernarowski served one year before defeating long time mayor Jack
Talstra in 2008. He was re-elected in
2011 but has yet to say if he will run again this fall.
He spoke to the chal-lenge of juggling the mayoral workload with life commitments in-cluding a large family and the need to secure adequate supplemental income from employers who may not always be flexible to the extracur-ricular commitments of a mayor employee.
“It’s not that I am saying it’s ‘so hard’. I love doing this work and I think the next person who sits in this chair will love it the same way, and they will want to focus on it, on making Terrace a bet-ter place. I don’t think we can wait four more years for that decision to happen,” said Per-narowski.
Council deemed the matter should be ad-dressed separately from the salary task force.
“We rejected a no-tion of a full-time mayor
before the last election and it was a very strong vote of rejection,” said councillor Bruce Bid-good, who earlier this year said he plans on running for mayor in the coming elections.
Bidgood said a pre-vious review committee had trouble identifying exactly what the ex-panded duties of a full time mayor would re-ally be.
The matter will have to be resolved prior to the salary review task force reporting back.
CITY COUNCIL has decided to broaden the membership of a task force being named to recommend if they’ll get a pay raise.
The creation of the task force, set in motion by council April 28, fol-lows a decision made in 2011 by council to review the pay for council-lors and the mayor in three years.
The original decision was to have the task force consist of a represen-tative each from the Terrace and Dis-trict Chamber of Commerce, the Ter-race-Kitimat Labour Council and a former mayor or council member. But
after debate April 28, council decided to add a member from a not-for-profit group and an everyday citizen.
Even though the pay task force is being asked to make a recommenda-tion to be voted upon by council, one councillor is already hinting he would oppose a raise.
“Sorry to be the stick-in the mud but I think there should be someone on that panel who asks if there should or should not be [an increase in sal-ary],” said Cordeiro during debate on the task force creation.

Terrace councillors earned $12,229 in 2013 and their pay is adjusted annually based on the B.C. Consumer Price Index, a policy that dates back years.
The mayor’s salary is more than $33,000, a sum that has risen by more than $5,000 over the past three years based on a formula set out by the 2011 task force. It also rises annu-ally according to the BC Consumer Price Index.
Even though the pay task force is being asked to make a recom-mendation to be voted upon by council, Cor-deiro is already hinting he may be opposed. “As of right now I would say no,” said Cordeiro after the council meeting.
“I wouldn’t be in favour of seeing an in-crease without seeing a corresponding tax re-duction to the two big-gest tax payers which are business and resi-dents. If council gets a 5 per cent pay increase then there should be a corresponding tax cut to residents and business.”
The 2011 decision to increase the mayor’s salary was not univer-sally accepted by coun-cil members.
Councillors Brian Downie, Brad Pollard and Carol Leclerc voted in favour while coun-cillors Bruce Bidgood and Lynne Christiansen voted against it.
Mayor Dave Per-narowski and councillor Bruce Martindale, both candidates for mayor that year, did not vote.

A total of $75,477 is available for work in Dutch Valley to sta-bilize the banks of the Kalum River and to prevent erosion.
The cost sharing formula means the re-gional district will pay $25,159 with the se-nior governments pay-ing the rest, a sum that works out to $50,318.
The regional district is one of 26 govern-ments within B.C. to qualify for assistance based on the cost effec-tiveness of applications submitted for flood and erosion protection proj-ects.

A unique Project-based Academic Learning Environment which
embraces the language, culture and traditions of the
Ts’msyen Nation.
THE TAHLTAN Nation is set to receive up to $300,000 a year from the provincial government once two run-of-river projects using water from the Iskut River north of here go into full production.
Announced yesterday, the money is a portion of land and water rentals to be paid to the provincial government by AltaGas of Calgary for its 66 mega-watt McLymont Creek project and its 16 megawatt Volcano Creek project.
Both are set to be completed by late November 2015 and both will feed power into B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line which is nearing completion.
The money is on top of $2.5 million a year that will flow to the Tahltan Nation from the province when the much larger AltaGas project on the Iskut, the 195 megawatt Forrest Kerr run-of-river facility, goes into production this summer.
All three revenue-sharing agreements come un-der the province’s First Nations Clean Energy Busi-ness Fund, which promotes First Nations participa-tion in the clean-energy sector.
And the one for Forrest Kerr, signed in March
2013, was the first-ever to be signed under the clean energy business fund.
All three projects fall within Tahltan traditional territory.
In advance of the projects going into produc-tion, the Tahltan received $186,000 for Forrest Kerr, $12,400 for McLymont Creek and $3,000 for Volcano Creek.
Provincial officials have cautioned that final payment amounts each year will depend upon a number of variables.
The three AltaGas projects are the first ones to feed power into B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmis-sion Line.
AltaGas did begin flowing water through its For-rest Kerr facility last week but when it will actually begin generating power to be fed into B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line isn’t known as com-pletion of the line has been set back.
“Once the [transmission line] is available, com-missioning to tie Forrest Kerr into the transmis-sion line will begin,” an AltaGas release stated last week.
Tahltan, province signrevenue sharing deal
In advance of provincial approval, the Nisga’a filed an objection to the project by using a section of the 2000 Nisga’a final land claims agreement.
The Nisga’a said environmental and social eco-nomic studies were either inadequate or incom-plete. Based on those assertions, the Nisga’a en-acted provisions of the final agreement which set in motion discussions meant to resolve disputes between parties.
But they also followed up that up by filing a peti-tion the end of July 2013 asking the B.C. Supreme Court to order the suspension of the provincial en-vironmental certificate until the dispute resolution process had been completed.
“British Columbia has acted other than in ac-cordance with the honour of the Crown in issuing the [environmental] decision and [environmental] certificate, in undue and deliberate haste, five days after receiving the Notice of Disagreement deliv-ered by the Nisga’a Nation triggering the dispute resolution process ….,” the petition stated.
The application was to be heard last September but it has now been adjourned.
“The Nisga’a injunction application of Septem-ber 23, 2013 was adjourned and negotiations with the Nisga’a are continuing,” said a statement late last week from the province. No further details were provided.

CHERYL WATTS, CEO of Timely Trends and visiting her family in Terrace, shows off her Masters degree she earned this spring from Royal Roads University.
By JOSH MASSEY
WHEN CHERYL Watts was accepted to Royal Roads University just outside of Victoria, she was very surprised and even thought it was a mistake.
As a teen living in Terrace in the 1980s, she struggled in the grips of an abusive rela-tionship.
That, combined with addiction problems, led her to attempt suicide on several occasions.
The ravages of alco-holism and a stint living on the streets had not created the self-image of someone who would eventually take post-graduate studies and re-ceive a Masters degree in Arts and Leadership.
“I got married when I was in Grade 10. Mar-ried when I was 17; di-vorced when I was 19. In the relationship, it was very violent. I tried killing myself a few times within that time,” said Watts, who is now reassured enough to be able to speak about those times without
breaking her positive demeanour.
Her lack of confi-dence was compounded by learning disabilities which made finishing school a challenge.
“I have dyslexia so I always found school very difficult. In el-ementary school, I was always called out to the dumb class,” she said.
Now 46, she looks back on a life that was lived against the odds, and visiting Terrace, she stops and talks to her friends who are still living on the streets.
She said that if it weren’t for her family having come and saved her when she was on a downward spiral, she might still be on the street now, or have suf-fered a worse fate.
Watts’ mother Ma-vis, from whom she gets her Tsimshian roots, and her father Don Krause, offered Watts a place to stay despite her addictions issues.
During the tough years, she was back and forth between Terrace and Prince George, her
life in shambles. Moving back home
allowed her to regroup and redirect her life, she said.
“Families are who I want to reach, she said. “My family said ‘enough,’ and were firm and direct. The families are going to be upset but there has to be hope,” said Watts, who holds seminars to help others overcome challenges related to self-realiza-tion. She believes in the power of family to help those who have taken a wrong turn and need
guidance.Watts’ smile conveys
how proud and lucky she feels to be where she is now, a Royal Roads Masters graduate and the CEO of her own leadership consulting business in Edmonton called Timely Trends.
She is also contribut-ing to several business publications, and has been a speaker on cre-ative leadership skills at conferences.
Watts credits a so-cial program offered through the Kermode Friendship Centre in
helping to turn her life around back in the 1980s.
“When I was drink-ing, I took a program that helped me straight-en up and that was the Kermode Friendship Centre – they did a pre-employment program 25 years ago and I took it and mainly because they paid people money to take the course,” said Watts.
She said this brought her into her first mean-ingful jobs, and she eventually worked in counselling herself.
She was originally a drug and alcohol coun-sellor with just certifi-cate training and then took a diploma at Nechi Institute in Edmonton.
At college, her in-structor encouraged her to attend Royal Roads.
“I laughed at her saying there is no way in hell because I don’t have a degree,” said Watts.
“She pushed and said I will write a letter on your behalf.”
Local Northwest Community College in-structor David Try also
wrote a letter on Watt’s behalf.
“I thought ‘yes there are people who actually believe in me.’ When you don’t think you will be accepted, you are confident,” said Watts.
Watts says her coun-selling work, as well as helping with the family logging business, paid off.
“They accepted me because of my work experience and the fact I worked in our fam-ily logging business showed them I knew how a business is run.”

Escort tugs will respond immediately in the case of an emergency, and one of the two escort tugs will be tethered at all times.
All tankers calling on our terminal must be vetted by a third-party prior to leaving their port of origin.
Janet Holder, Leader of Northern Gateway
Canada has vast oil reserves that have the power to ensure jobs and other economic benefi ts for generations of British Columbians and Canadians. But this resource is only going to one market–the United States–meaning Canadians are losing out on hundreds of millions of dollars.This is the main reason why Northern Gateway is urgently needed. Northern Gateway will open new markets for Canadian oil in Asia, creating thousands of good-paying jobs in British Columbia and generating much-needed revenues for taxpayers.Over the last decade we have been carefully planning this project. It is the most advanced pipeline proposal under consideration that is responding to these challenges. The project has undergone the intense scrutiny of the Joint Review Panel of the National Energy Board–the most extensive scientifi c review of its kind in Canadian history–and received its endorsement for approval.By moving ahead, Northern Gateway will safely open new markets for Canadian oil much sooner than any other project under consideration. While this provides a huge economic benefi t for Canadians, it is not the only opportunity Northern Gateway has to offer.
If, in the years ahead, a new refi nery is built in Kitimat that offers the same benefi ts as international markets, Northern Gateway will be able to deliver product for that as well. Or, if a facility is built in Alberta, Northern Gateway will be able to move refi ned product to new markets. In fact, Northern Gateway can provide a safe means of transport from Alberta to Kitimat for oil wherever it is needed most, at home or abroad, always ensuring that Canadians get the value we rightly expect from our most valuable commodity.Most important, no matter what product we are moving, Northern Gateway will always ensure that ours is a safer, better project. That’s because Northern Gateway is already incorporating numerous measures specifi cally designed for British Columbia’s environment and landscape, and is already setting a new standard in Canada for safety and environmental responsibility.For example, every tanker carrying Canadian oil to new markets will be double-hulled and guided to open ocean by B.C. coast pilots. All loaded tankers will be escorted by two tugs, and every tanker coming into our terminal will be fully vetted for safety.At Northern Gateway we are working every day to build a project that will serve our country for generations to come. That passionate commitment is at the heart of our proposal. It drives us in everything we do. It has resulted in a project that measures up to its original promise of a safer, better pipeline that benefi ts every British Columbian and every Canadian.

GUSTAVE AND Philippe (Noel Reidy and Baxter Huston) are two of three Heroes, showing at the McColl Play-house May 8-10.
Let your gown go to prom, againAS STUDENTS are getting ready to celebrate gradu-ation and the culmination of all their hard work to get this far, some won’t be able to have fun along with their friends due to financial constraints.
Some families are just managing to get by each month, and the expense of graduation is just too much.
These girls will proudly walk across the stage to get their diploma but when their friends are getting ready for prom, they will be left out.
Darlene Reid started buying grad dresses, shoes and all the accessories that girls need for prom four years ago for girls in need.
“It’s a bit like Vancou-ver’s Cinderella Project but on a much smaller scale
and ran more personally,” says Reid about her project that she’s named “You’ll Be There.”
There have been very generous people in town that have donated beautiful grad dresses, bridesmaid dresses, shoes etc. for the girls and incredibly gener-ous business people that have donated dry clean-ing, hair, and nails etc., she says. Without them, the girls would not have the amazing experience that they have, she adds.
Right now, there is a need for gowns size 12 to 16; however, all sizes are always needed and wel-comed, she says.
So far, the girls who have received a helping hand from “You’ll be there” have all been given dresses
and everything else they needed and have looked and felt beautiful.
“It’s a guarantee that if you do have an item or two to donate that they will go to a girl who will love them as much as you did and feel like you did when you wore it,” says Reid.
If you happen to have, or know someone who has, a dress, shoes, or anything else that may be used by the girls, it can be dropped off at M&M Meat Shops or call Darlene at 975-0789 and arrangements can be made to have donations picked up.
If you are in Ter-race, Kitimat or Prince Ru-pert and need a dress etc., call or text 975-0789 and Darlene will be happy to set up a private fitting for you.

THE SKEENA Won-der Strawberry was in-vented by a pioneering family who is no longer here but the berry re-mains.
The general story of the Michaud Brothers, Fred and Bert, is that they acquired land on what is now Queensway in Thornhill, and bred interesting vegetables, including the Skeena Wonder Strawberry and a funnily shaped “banana potato.” The brothers � rst arrived in the Terrace area in 1904 and were, according to Ted Johnston, “always together and were ex-cellent gardeners.”
The Skeena Wonder Strawberry grows in the Organic Heritage Garden at Heritage Park Museum and staff is happy to share runners with anyone who wants it, says museum curator Kelsey Wiebe. To get the enormous berries for which it is famous, it must be fertilized extensively, and culti-
vars must be selected from the largest-bearing pieces.
In The History of Terrace, Nadine Asante notes that “Fred and Bert, who were almost identical, worked the homestead, and grew vegetables and small fruits which were the talk of the Valley.
“They developed
strawberries which they named Skeena Wonder, which were so large that only six � tted in a basket, and shipped them from Prince Ru-pert to Montreal. Their standards were so high, that if the berries didn’t measure three to a row in a box, they were either eaten here or thrown out. They were
noted for their rock col-lection and each of the thousands of rocks in their display was num-bered and named.”

SKEENA WONDER Strawberries, invented by the Michaud Brothers, were bred specially for the Skeena climate, and were so large that they were shipped in egg cartons.

Did you know we have our own strawberry?The story Ted John-
ston relates in Memoirs: Life with Terrace Area Pioneers is as follows:
“The Michaud broth-ers, James Alfred, Al-bert and Edward Felix arrived with their el-derly father Fred Wil-liam Michaud from the United States in 1904.
“Mrs. Annie Laurie Firestone, their wid-owed sister, also came. Bill was not well and died shortly after their arrival.
“Ed worked as a cook in logging camps and did odd jobs. He was quite a teller of tall tales.
“He passed away in Usk, June 21, 1928, at age sixty-four.
“Fred and Bert Mi-chaud pre-empted D.L. 1099 in the bay of the old airport hill, where Inland Kenworth is presently located. They built a large log house and had beautiful flower gardens.
“The Michauds were always together and were excellent gar-deners. They raised all kinds of fruit and veg-etables.
“On one of their ex-periments, they cross-pollinated strawberry plants and ended up with a colossal-sized strawberry, and called it the Skeena Wonder.
“Their business was advertised as The Mi-chaud Brothers, Cres-cent Hill Ranch; Grow-ers and Shippers of Nursery Stock Small Fruits and Vegetables, Originators of the FA-MOUS ‘SKEENA WONDER STRAW-BERRY.’”
“Unfortunately, a Michigan firm stole the secret of their success-ful strawberry when the Michauds wrote ‘the recipe’ out for them, while trying to negoti-ate a deal.
“Besides farming, Fred and Bert trapped
in the winter on Wil-liams Creek and also prospected on Thorn-hill Mountain. Fire de-stroyed their beautiful home and they moved into a cabin on the
place.“During the thir-
ties, Bert and Bill Elder (who was also a pros-pector) built a raft well above the canyon in order to cross the Cop-
per River while it was in flood.
“The raft was caught by the suction of the canyon and as one end swung to shore Bill managed to jump to
safety, but Bert was never seen again.
“Fred lived alone un-til his death November 11, 1945 at age seventy-four.”
If you want to learn
more about the Michaud family history, starting back in the early 1900s, Jewel Cave history and then to Terrace, you are invited to come out to hear their relative tell
some interesting his-tory, and about their sad ending in Terrace.

We are very pleased to announce the appointment of THERESA MELANSON
as Financial Services Manager.
Theresa brings many years of experience to her new position and looks forward to serving all past, present, and future customers.
THE AREA’S second annual large scale pro marijuana legalization rally here April 20 was also the occasion for education on the ben-efits of industrial hemp production, says its sponsor.
Lottery winner Bob Erb said a transition to large-scale hemp grow-ing and subsequent con-version of that hemp into paper and material for clothing and other uses could have saved the region from the long-term effects of the collapse of the forest industry here in the late 1990s.
“Politicians, regard-less of party, have been saying for the nearly 40 years I’ve been here that we need another indus-try but no one has actu-ally done that,” said Erb, speaking after the rally. “We had logging and when that went into a tailspin for 15-20 years, everyone suffered.”
But there is a rich history of farm-ing in Terrace, which would be worth tapping into, he said.
“We could go back to the days when this region grew fruit and veg-etables and sent them out to market,” he said.
And hemp would make a great crop, he said.
“Hemp grows everywhere and it is renewable every year,” he said. “That’s an industry we should pur-sue.”
Hemp strands can even be used to make a product similar to plywood and traditional oriented strand board,
Erb added.The 4-20 rally – the
name originates with a group of California youth who gathered to smoke marijuana at 4:20 p.m. each day but which has since evolved to hold marijuana le-galization events across North America each April 20 – was held on the steps of the provin-cial courthouse.
Erb estimated that more than 300 people attended, down approxi-mately 100 people from the year before.
Speakers included Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin who also spoke at the 2013 rally here.
“We had a minute of silence at 4:19 p.m. to remember the vic-tims of marijuana pro-hibition and at 4:20 p.m. there were acts of peaceful civil disobe-dience,” said Erb. The latter involved people lighting up marijuana
cigarettes.He contrasted Vancouver’s large
4-20 rally, described as peaceful and without damage or arrests, with the city’s alcohol-fueled Stanley Cup riot of 2011 which caused millions of dol-lars in damage and resulted in numer-ous arrests and convictions.
A barbecue provided by M&M Meats was also the occasion to raise money for Hailey Pettit, a local girl undergoing treatment for leukemia in Vancouver and for You’ll Be There, in which grad dresses are donated or purchased for those who otherwise could not afford one.
