Beauty and the beast
Local foodpromotedBy SAMANTHA GARVEY
RESIDENTS WILL be asked to play their role in increasing local food production at this year’s Skeena Valley Fall Fair.
This Saturday, members of the Hungry Kids program through the Kalum Community School Society will be sign-ing up people to buy produce from local farmers.
The idea is to have a group of people agree to buy produce ahead of time, thus ensuring a farmer has the money needed to plant and cultivate crops. The food is delivered weekly for a set period of time throughout the season.
Hungry Kids coordinator Agatha Jedrzejczyk said a typi-cal model would involve having people pay $500 up front to receive food over a 17-week period.
The idea, she added, is to provide another way of encour-aging local food production.
Quesnel has had a similar program running for a decade and there’s also one in Bella Coola.
This isn’t the fi rst time Jedrzejczyk has tried to get the program off the ground here. But she’s optimistic enough people will sign up this weekend.
“I really see a change in people’s approach to produce,” she said. “People want local. People want sustainable.”
The local food theme at the Kalum Community School Society’s booth continues with displays about gardening.
Judy Walker will be demonstrating how to make rem-edies out of herbs and samples of home-made herbal tea, and healthy muffi ns made with stevia. There will be herbal hand cream and lip balm presentations on Saturday afternoon.
Those visiting the booth at the Sept. 8 and 9 fair can also learn about the Greater Terrace Food Association, a local non-profi t society working towards agricultural develop-ment and a more secure local food base in the area.

EVEN THE cosmetics industry is taking up the campaign against Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipelines plan.
An international company called Lush, which makes and sells handmade bath and body products, in messages printed on its sales re-ceipts, urges customers to oppose Northern Gateway.
And this spring it gave custom-ers at its 45 Canadian stores the chance to cast a vote for or against the $5.5 billion plan to pump Al-berta crude to Kitimat for export overseas.
“Based on feedback from the shops throughout the campaign and our initial fi ndings, we can confi rm that the majority of in-store votes were against the Enbridge pipe-line proposal,” said Lush’s Brandi Halls, who is directing the anti-Northern Gateway pipeline cam-paign in Canada.
“We strongly believe that Ca-nadians should have a say in their energy future and that each and every one of us should be making the fi nal decision on projects like Enbridge,” said Halls.
“By turning our shops into poll-ing stations, we gave everyday Canadians a voice on the issue of
tankers on B.C.’s coast. “In so doing, people will also
be reminded that next time there’s an election, they have the option to vote for candidates who will stand up for our coast.”
“We are a large B.C. based busi-ness with resources and the respon-sibility to make a difference so yes, we do believe that we can and are having an impact on this issue.”
The ‘no’ votes went to the Dog-wood Initiative to add to its No Tankers petition that asks the gov-ernment to protect the B.C. coast from oil tanker traffi c.
Lush also printed a page in its summer issues of its catalogue
urging people to vote against En-bridge.
The page explained who En-bridge is, gave details on the pipe-line project and included a quote from Enbridge CEO Pat Daniel saying no one could promise that there would never be an oil pipe-line accident. It also included, in red letters, “What’s at stake? The Northern Gateway Pipeline Proj-ect would put your water, culture, economy, land, ecosystem at risk.”
The store also noted its cam-paign partner Dogwood Initiative, which works to protect rivers and coastline in B.C. from oil pipelines and tankers, as stated on its home
page.As of last week, Dogwood Ini-
tiative offi cial Eric Swanson said the petition had 137,253 signa-tures, mostly from B.C. residents.
The petition is being sent to the federal government in batches of about 50,000 each time, he added.
“We think the provincial govern-ment can make the right move and make these projects go away so we can focus on better projects,” said Swanson, adding that a number of people equals political power.
“For the provincial government, they need evidence of a political win in it for them.”

WITH SCHOOLS opening yesterday, the school board is readying its agenda, albeit in a climate less volatile than last year, which was fraught with labour disputes and teacher job action.
“The district is looking for-ward to a peaceful start because we have a contract in place,” said Coast Mountain School District chair Art Erasmus.
The district’s priorities at the top of the year are centered around enrolment and making sure class sizes meet contract obligations, he said.
“That’s always a challenge every year,” Erasmus said.
There are always students who enrolled in school over the summer who don’t show up, and new students turning up on the fi rst day who still need to be enrolled, he said.
The fi rst few weeks are al-ways focussed on the reorgani-zation of classes.
Once classes are reorga-nized, the district will release enrolment numbers.
“The proof in the pudding will be on Sept. 30,” said Er-asmus.
“We are estimating [based on last year’s end-of-year num-bers] that the number of kids is down very slightly.”
Another district priority is making sure the district’s two new middle schools, Ter-
race’s Skeena Middle School and Kitimat’s Mount Elizabeth Middle School, start the year off smoothly.
“The kids usually adapt quite easily,” said Erasmus. “And the middle schools’ ad-ministrators have done a great job in communicating to par-ents and students what to ex-pect.”
Last year saw the closure of Thornhill Junior Secondary, and questions still remain on whether or not the gym will be able to be used as a community
space. “The school district is keen
and willing to work with the community to have the facility available for recreation,” said Erasmus.
“But not at the district’s cost.”
Community groups who use the space are currently in the process of fi guring out whether or not they can raise the funds to keep using the gym, but at this time the space is still closed.
Another lingering agenda
item is the search for a new su-perintendent.
Superintendent Nancy Wells’ contract was extended a year beyond her initial term to enable her to keep her post until the end of the school year in 2013.
“Timeline-wise, we would like to have a new superinten-dent in place sometime in the spring for a couple of months of overlap,” he said, noting the district still had to have discus-sions around where and how to look for Wells’ replacement.

PlantingPlanting changeThe soil is fertile, the water is plentiful, but there is no one to farm Terrace land
By Samantha Garvey
By 9 a.m. a table full of greens is laid out before
Charles Claus. One of the few fresh produce sellers found at the Skeena Valley Farmers’ Market, this is how he begins every Saturday morning from May to October.
“I picked those last night,” he said, point-ing to his swiss chard at the July 14 market. Claus is not only a local farmer but also a mem-ber of the Greater Ter-race Food Association, a group that is looking at ways to increase local food production.
On that day, his se-lection of beets, snap peas, swiss chard and four kinds of lettuce had all been scooped up before closing time at 1 p.m.
Out of the 70 to 75 booths present every week, usually only 10 per cent sell produce during the summer and 20 per cent during the fall, according to Norm Frank, the market’s president.
Even with this lack of fresh produce, the crowds attend. In fact, the mar-ket provides $2.1 million to the lo-cal economy an-nually, accord-ing to the same study by UNBC and the B.C. Farmers’ Market Asso-ciation.
At the July 28 mar-ket, over 2700 people passed through the event for a day’s outing, according to a survey by the B.C. Farmers’ Market Association and UNBC. That day, too, was no exception for how quickly the farm-ers sold out in the four hours of operation.
“Most of the farm-ers now, they don’t go home with much (food left) and it’s more and more that way,” Frank said.
Frank said that de-mand exists for local food even if growing that food can’t be done at the same cost of the competition available at supermarkets.
Consumers won’t
mind paying a 10 to 15 per cent premium for locally grown food, he said. “There’s never been a problem about price that I know of.”
“The demand for local foods has been increasing all over the world as has the popular-ity of farmer’s markets,” said Lynda Gagne. She is an assistant professor in the School of Public Administration at the University of Victoria and she’s volunteer-ing with the city and regional district to at-tempt to increase local food production in the greater Terrace area.
If the city’s effort to up agricultural produc-tion were a success, the market has already re-vised its policy to give preference to new ven-dors that are selling lo-cally grown food.
Yet, despite the steady demand for local food, farming has actu-ally declined in the area. From 2006 to 2011, the total number of farms decreased by six per cent in the North Coast
region, according to Statistics Canada, from 134 to 126. The North Coast region includes the Kitimat-Stikine and Skeena-Queen Char-lotte districts (north to Stikine Provincial Park, west to the coast includ-ing Haida Gwaii, east to New Hazelton and south to Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park).
But more than two-thirds of those 126 active farms can be classifi ed as hobby farms, with revenues of less than $10,000, most of which likely don’t produce anything beyond feeding them-selves.
As of 2011, there were only 38 farms with revenues between $10,000 and $99,999.
The physical con-ditions of the region, however, are well suited
to agriculture. “The greater Terrace area has many natural assets for agriculture, including fertile soils, fl at land, a mild climate, and a long growing season which averages 152 frost-free days each year,” accord-ing to the regional dis-trict’s historical docu-ments.
Going ForwardGiven conditions fi t
for farming, a strong demand and an intro-ductory venue, it’s the production of local food that still needs address-ing.
But the problem with production in Terrace is that there is simply no one to farm.
“One of the missing keys is young entrepre-neurial farmers who are willing to learn to grow in this area,” said Claus.
There are some peo-ple growing here but their kids aren’t picking it up, he added. “If you look at the average age
of farmers ... here they are all over 65.”
But attract-ing young people to farm is not easy.
“A young person fresh out of high
school can get a job working at (Rio Tinto) Alcan and make $30 an hour,” Frank said. “We can’t expect them to work on a farm for probably less.”
But, even if a large supply of young people willing to start farms in the region were readily available, the fi nancial challenges to starting a farm may be the ulti-mate barrier.
In addition to the cost of land, the cost of machinery and labour are considerably high – high enough to stop an eager young farmer.
Jaclyn Gagnon owns Hidden Acres on the south shore of the Skee-na in Thornhill. Her property has 60 acres of fertile but unused farm-land. She said she would love to grow food on a large-scale but the num-
bers don’t add up. “It’s just not fea-
sible.”Those working to-
ward increased food production aren’t con-vinced that it can’t hap-pen.
“Clearly, with food prices increasing and greater Terrace enjoy-ing good soil and wa-ter availability, we are well-suited for a signifi -cant expansion of agri-culture,” Lynda Gagne said. She added that she expects demand for lo-cal products to go up, not only because of health and taste prefer-ences, but because of costs. “Increasing energy and trans-portation costs and concern over the impact of greenhouse gases on cli-mate change all work in favour of the local-izat ion of food p r o -d u c -t i o n , ” s h e
s a i d . G a g n e a d d e d t h a t because Terrace is fairly remote, an in-crease in ag-riculture could be supported by local demand alone.
And the solutions to increasing produc-tion aren’t out of reach. Leasing land, Gagne said, is becoming a pop-ular option all over B.C. For people who want to farm but can’t afford to buy land. Interns, too, are becoming available through agricultural programs that could solve the problem of a lack of labour.
Clause said he ex-pects the high number of farmers retiring in the near future will leave behind equipment for re-sale.
The farmers’ market is an already established
venue to take on any increase in ag-riculture. But the question
remains about how to sell food after local pro-duction outgrows the limits of a weekly, sea-sonal market. Eventu-ally, the goal would be to sell local products in the established retail su-permarkets.
Darren Davies from Save On Foods in Ter-race said the company is more than willing to stock its shelves with local products. How-ever, most chain super-markets, including Save On, have a minimum
level of stock required which is why existing small-scale farms have not made their way in the door.
But to get the product from gate to plate, a co-operative system would be the answer to getting large quantities of ag-riculture selling, once those quantities grow beyond the capacity of the farmers’ market. Shared distribution and storage is one way to relieve individual farm-ers of the steep costs of
large amounts of pro-duction.
“In terms of organiz-ing ourselves to expand our local food produc-tion, in my view we will need to develop a coop-erative and community-supported production and distribution system, with the farmers’ mar-ket being a key element, but not the only ele-ment,” said Gagne.
“My hope is that the public can catch a vision for locally produced food,” said Claus.

MORE THAN a few longer-term residents of the area might remem-ber the day when you could go into a local grocery store and buy bread baked by a Seventh-Day Adventist academic academy just outside of Kitwanga.
Or, in season, purchase carrots grown at a farm also located in the Kitwanga area.
It was wholesome fare then and was missed when production stopped.
With that in mind, readers of this week’s issue might notice there’s a bit of a theme – food or, rather, local food.
A front page story lays out the pos-sibility of buying local produce and our Page 5 feature provides more detail on what’s possible and what challenges await.
By all accounts, there’s an appetite for local food. Consider that a survey done at the local farmers market de-termined more than 2,700 visited the location on July 28 alone. By itself, that fi gure stands out as a testament to the market’s popularity.
Granted, not everyone attending on that day was there for the pur-pose of buying locally-grown food but keep in mind that any business fi rst requires customers for what that business may wish to produce.
So keep that in mind while at-tending the revived Skeena Valley Fall Fair this weekend. Enjoy the work that has gone into the fair and also drop by the Kalum Community School Society’s booth to learn more about local food.

COMPOSITION:
For me, grocery shop-ping is the equivalent of volunteering as a mystery shopper
without hiding my identity.Chain stores hire mystery
shoppers to spy on staff and report ways the store can im-prove service and thus sales.
If I encounter irritants while going about my regular shopping, I suggest things the store could do to make my and other customers’ shop-ping experience safer, more convenient and satisfactory.
“In a competitive mar-ketplace where businesses compete for customers”, says Mystery Shoppers, Inc., “cus-tomer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and has be-come a key element of busi-ness strategy. Poor customer service affects your bottom line.”
As a regular customer of certain supermarkets, I of-fer whatever tips I can as they crop up. For instance, I wouldn’t fi ll a plastic bag with bulk nuts, then leave it sitting in a corner of the shelf along with fi ve abandoned bags because I couldn’t fi nd a twister or a pen to write the bin number.
Nor would I walk away nut-less grumbling, “Now I
have to make a special trip to the other supermarket for 42 cents worth of unsalted pea-nuts.” I understand supplies can run out. Few stores have staff to constantly check for swiftly moving products that need to be restocked. So I tell them.
When I couldn’t fi nd a plastic bag in bulk nuts, I asked the nearby stock clerk to get some. He fetched a roll. Bag of peanuts and twister in hand, I couldn’t fi nd a pen. I borrowed his.
Last week, shopping for eggs stocked six tiers front to back at eye-level, I had to stretch tippy-toe to tease a carton from way back.
Did I walk away and leave some shorter shopper to go without the eggs she had on her grocery list? No way.
And I don’t climb shelves like an employee. Instead I fl agged a stock clerk zipping by and asked her to move car-tons forward. She did.
Some problems require the manager’s attention. Such as the parking lot full of deep potholes so that leaving the lot required more steering wheel dexterity and turning radius judgment than I pos-sess.
The manager explained repairing the parking lot was on the local paver’s agenda but they were too busy to tend to it yet.
I had to believe him; the paver lives opposite me and his red truck was gone from dawn to dusk daily. Eventu-ally the lot was beautifully paved.
Did my complaint hasten the repair? Probably not. But I felt relieved knowing my grievance had reached the highest authority.
Once I spoke to a manager about a public washroom latch that didn’t. Employ-ees said it had been reported many times. But to whom? The manager moved pronto
on my complaint. The lock was still meshing perfectly on my recent visit.
The only recalcitrant man-ager I’ve met resisted replace-ment of a parking lot exit stop sign, torn from its stanchion by a snowplow. Successive weekly nudges stirred him not at all.
Only an email to corporate headquarters got that sign re-placed six months after my fi rst complaint.
Mystery Shoppers Inc.’s website notes:
It costs approximately six times more money to attract new customers than it does to retain an existing customer.
Dissatisfi ed customers are likely to tell fi ve to seven times as many people about their experience as satisfi ed customers.
For every customer who complains about a minor problem, fi fty remain silent.
For a fee Mystery Shop-pers Inc. assists stores in identifying what brings their customers back and what drives them away.
My similar service is free. Do stores view my sug-gestions in that light? Who knows?
Some might wish I’d shop elsewhere.

Nice try, but refi nery proposal just won’t work
Terrace Standard Wednesday, September 5, 2012 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7
I spoke against the Northern Gateway Project in my oral presentation to the Joint Re-view Panel in May. I have
not changed my mind on the project’s merits, but I feel com-pelled to speak up in support of Enbridge.
Their project raises valid questions about the risks associ-ated with the operation of a pipe-line through British Columbia’s rugged northwest super tanker traffi c in Douglas Channel.
Enbridge may have embel-lished some aspects of the proj-ect, its impact on local employ-ment, for example, in an effort to gain public support.
But concerning the economics of the proposal, especially from the perspective of corporate gain, Enbridge knows what it is talk-ing about.
Enbridge is a pipeline com-pany. The company’s expertise is in making a profi t from building and operating oil pipelines.
Yes, oil has spilled from the company’s pipelines, disastrous-ly so in some instances. The US
National Transportation Safety Board labelled Enbridge’s re-sponse to one spill as a Keystone Kops operation.
They may have been harsh, but it would be banal to write off the rash of Enbridge spills on the grounds that “accidents will hap-pen,” although accidents do in-deed happen in every industry.
Safety training, inspections, and investment in the global scheduled airline industry are ex-tensive and yet, that industry has chalked up fourteen fatal crashes in the past twelve months, killing 498 crew and passengers.
Accidents in any industry do and will continue to happen.But the subject here is not the pipeline; it is the proposal by a wealthy media personality to build a $13-billion refi nery in Kitimat.
This proposal offered two trump cards: massive new em-ployment in the region, and the elimination of bitumen carrying super tankers in Douglas Chan-nel. I had to check my calendar: is it April 1 already?
This refi nery proposal falls into the well-meaning but utterly useless “why doesn’t somebody …” category of announcements. Let me compare this refi nery an-nouncement with the Northern Gateway pipeline announce-ment.
Bitumen producers in Alberta were looking for markets, and refi ners in Asia (not only China) were looking for crude. In the
presence of a secure supply and a strong demand, connecting the two would seem to be child’s play.
Not so fast. If a Northern Gateway pipeline is eventually approved, and that is still a long way from being a certainty, it will have taken a major international pipeline company over a decade to move the project from initial proposal to fi nal approval.
And that’s with an experienced proponent in the pipeline industry.So what are we to make of the refi nery proponent’s announce-ment?
Let us assume that the refi nery gets rapid approval, that it does not run into fi nancing diffi culties, that contracts with product ven-dors and customers are signed, and that the plant is designed and built in record time.
How would a refi nery in Kiti-mat prevent the sale of raw bitu-men to any customer in the pa-cifi c region?
With the pipeline in place, with Kitimat harbour having the capacity to handle super tankers,
and with Douglas Channel navi-gational aides for such traffi c in place, how diffi cult would it be to get approval for bitumen-carry-ing super tankers to get permis-sion to enter the channel?
How much time would be needed, and how many hurdles would have to be overcome for the design, engineering, permit-ting, fi nancing, and construction of a refi nery in Kitimat. A de-cade? Maybe longer?
What about the Northern Gateway pipeline project in the meantime? Should Enbridge be told to shelve that project until the refi nery project is guaran-teed?
The refi nery proposal is a Northern Gateway project dis-traction. A more likely job-cre-ating economic booster for this region would be to wait for the owners of the Vancouver Ca-nucks to build a plywood plant in Terrace so as to put a halt to raw log exports.

Dear Sir:I would like to offer your readers another ver-
sion of the events that led to the seizure of the dog Cain.
It’s different than the one that reported in your Aug. 15, 2012 story, “Protestors rally for dog’s transfer.”
On the day in question, four boys were outside playing ball hockey (as kids do), and during this game, Cain came out of his yard, and attacked one of the kids.
The dog bit hard enough that he ripped the little boy’s pants wide open. The boy ended up going home, but was not physically injured in the attack.
A short while later, a mother and two other children, smaller children than the fi rst pair, went out for a walk.
At this time, Cain came out once again running towards the mother and those two children.
The dog fi rst attacked the smaller child until the mother picked the child up. Even at this point Cain was attempting to jump at the child. Once Cain was done with the smaller child, he took after the six year old tackling him and pushing him into a ditch. Cain went in the ditch as well.
This is when the famous hockey stick allegation occurred. One of the kids ran into the ditch slapping his hockey stick on the ground yelling at Cain to go away. He never struck him once.
The dog owner actually witnessed this, even though his recollection is somewhat skewed, and the only thing he yelled was to not hit his dog.
You would think he would be trying to get con-trol of his out-of-control canine, but he chose to just observe and yell at the kids from afar.
The owner is quoted as saying no injuries were sustained by the attacks and the boys were fi ne. This is not true. The physical injuries are only one part.
Dear Sir:Rob Brown’s Aug.
8, 2012 column entitled “Abundance” concern-ing the abundance or lack of abundance of Skeena system steel-head is of interest to the B.C. Wildlife Federation (BCWF) whose primary objective is conserva-tion.
Mr. Brown makes some very good points about the historic num-bers of Skeena steel-head and a notable lack of abundance compared to other systems to the south as well as run sizes of Skeena salmon (pink,
sockeye and coho).It is questionable to
include pinks and chums in the comparisons since they have completely different life history strategies but regard-less, there is no question that steelhead are less productive compared to their salmon cousins.
We certainly agree with Mr. Brown on the impacts of decades of indiscriminate net fi sh-eries.
Where there is dis-agreement is over the privilege to harvest a steelhead when there is a harvestable surplus
over and above conser-vation requirements and the needs of First Na-tions have been met.
The BCWF believes when conservation ob-jectives are being met, steelhead populations return to abundance (classifi ed as being in the routine management zone) and there should be opportunities for resident anglers to par-ticipate in a harvest of steelhead.
The lack of these op-portunities is driven by the lack of investment to identify the locations, times and opportunities
for retention fi sheries by the province.
Mr. Brown’s point is that BCWF members such as Kitimat resident Mike Langegger, Re-gional Director of the BCWF, should not be allowed to harvest steel-head because of their low numbers.
But what is at the heart of this issue is the divisive argument be-tween users: catch and release or catch and har-vest.
This is a choice is-sue not a conservation issue as the data suggest a harvestable surplus is
available for some of the stronger Skeena steel-head stocks.
The conservation community interested in fi sh and fi sh habitat is small but often very passionate bunch and clearly Mr. Brown is in this group.
However, it is a sad and unfortunate reality that some conservation-ists also seem to en-joy pitting one interest group against another.

What about the emotional stress placed on these children?
And does it really make sense that three diesel trucks and children were cornering a German Shepherd as indicated in the fi rst story?
That story is just an attempt to muddy the truth to gain supporters in the community.
I think before anyone should be calling boys evil they should get their facts straight.
In reality, if the two older kids weren’t there, the situation could have been a lot more serious, and parents could very well be visit-ing their young son in hospital.

‘Ever’ is hard to defi nein terms of weather
Dear Sir: David Black, owner of The Terrace Standard
and many other B.C. newspapers, is promoting the construction of an oil refi nery in Kitimat as a com-promise for the Northern Gateway pipeline. There are three immediately recognizable problems.
First, the claim by Mr. Black and other pipe-line supporters that it is in the national interest assumes a very narrow and negligent view of that interest. The ownership of the oil sands themselves needs national review, as does the off-shore sale of a resource that should be kept in the country for long-term and lessened domestic use as the nation also develops alternative energy and aids the fi ght against global warming. We must encourage our provincial and federal members to address the na-tional interest.
Second, a refi nery in Kitimat would still mean
a bitumen pipeline to it, as well as the ancillary condensate line. They would still endanger every waterway along their route, and the ocean will not calm for the cargo of refi ned fuel anymore than it will for bitumen. Disaster still awaits.
Third, and most important for Terrace especial-ly, is being downwind of a refi nery. The notorious chemical drift from refi neries, as in Sarnia, Ontario, provides overwhelming evidence of the health haz-ard. Kitimat Valley would be renamed “Cancer Val-ley”, and Terrace “Terminal Illness”.
If David Black is really serious about a refi nery, then he should propose it for the oil sands them-selves.
Moreover, he could show his bona fi des by liv-ing in the lee of its emissions.

Dear Sir:In a letter appearing
in the Aug. 22 edition of The Terrace Standard,Jim Culp responded to my column of Aug. 15 which dealt with the conversion of Fritz Vah-renholt, regarded as one of the fathers of the en-vironmental movement in Germany, from a be-liever in human-caused global warming to, at the very least, a semi-sceptic.
In his letter Jim brought up the conver-sion, in the opposite direction, of Richard Muller, University of California physicist.
I just want to say that another reader, follow-ing publication of my column, emailed me the link to that Los Ange-les Times article about Muller.
I had intended to mention it in my next column and thank Jim
for crossing that off my to-do list.
But what I want to concentrate on in this letter is Jim’s litany of “dramatic climate oc-currences” this year.
He points out that July temperatures in the US bread basket were the highest “ever”.
Ever is a long, time so I wondered what his defi nition of “ever” was.
I found my answer
a couple of paragraphs later when he said the weather in the Prairies this summer had been “the worst ever record-ed.”
Now I have no doubt he is absolutely accurate on that score so do not dispute his assertion.
My point would be that there have undoubt-edly been a whole lot of “dramatic climate oc-currences” that were never recorded, such is
the relatively short span humans have spent on this Earth.
To illustrate, Vahr-enholt noted the solar activity runs on a 1,000 year cycle.
So, to have a fair point of comparison we need to ask what were the weather conditions/temperatures in the US bread basket and Ca-nadian Prairies in the year 1012? Or 12 AD? Or 1,000 BC?
We simply don’t know because there are no records from that time and those places.

A FIRST aid class got some unexpected hands-on training at a crash outside the classroom Aug. 29.
A police vehicle and a van collided on Hwy16 near Kerr Street around 10:17 a.m., leaving the van with a crushed front end and the RCMP ve-hicle in the grassy medi-an in front of the Pacifi c Natural Gas building.
St. John’s Ambu-lance Level 3 occupa-tional fi rst aid course member Trevor Lubbers heard the crash and fel-low student Dayna Jack-son looked out and saw the injured van driver laying on the pavement
behind his vehicle.After Jackson saw
the man trying to get up, fi rst aid instructor Don Morrison said, “OK. Let’s go.”
He told the eight people to grab their gear and they, as well as St. John’s branch man-ager Janet Mackenzie, rushed out to check the driver.
“I kind of jumped in and took it,” said Mor-rison, adding that his class knew what to do and assisted.
After introduc-ing himself, asking the driver’s name and getting his consent to check him for injuries, Morrison exposed the man’s chest, where he complained of pain, and
his back, where he also was hurting, said Mor-rison.
“I didn’t fi nd any in-juries,” said Morrison, adding that bruising wouldn’t show up right away.
They took his vi-tal signs and gave him some oxygen as he looked pale and chalky, said Morrison.
He had minor cuts on his forehead and the back of his head.
The driver was asked not to move his head so the fi rst aid class could immobilize him on a spinal board, said Mor-rison.
As they were put-ting him on the spinal board, the ambulance paramedic crew arrived
and the class relayed the information about the man and his injuries, said Morrison.
The ambulance took the driver to hospital and the students re-turned to class.
“They did a great job,” Morrison said.
This isn’t the fi rst time a Level 3 fi rst aid class got real-life expe-rience.
When construction on the Walmart began some years ago, the lights at the corner of Feeney Ave. and Hwy16 changed quite quickly before corrective mea-sures were taken.
Morrison and his class went out to help at an accident on that corner.

THE KSAN House Society won’t know until fall if its application for a grant to complete renovations on a southside building will be backed by city council.
The society wants money from the North-ern Development Initia-tive Trust to fully con-vert an older building for community use.
But city council has plans of its own to use money from the trust and so held off on sup-porting the society’s ap-plication.
It also wants to delve further into whether or not there is other avail-able community use space on the southside.
The decision was reached at the Aug. 27 council meeting.Ksan approached coun-cil earlier last month for support in asking the trust for $23,084.
The renovated space was once used as an emergency housing shelter but has now been turned into a large room and commercial-grade kitchen with an adjoin-ing offi ce suite.
It’s located adjacent to Ksan’s new emergen-cy shelter and housing complex on Hall St.
But to meet com-munity use standards parking needs to be im-proved, outdoor lighting is needed and a ventila-tion system is needed.
“The reason we reno-vated was because there is no community space on the south side of town,” said Ksan House
director Carol Sabo. “We are very disap-
pointed, the building is under-utilized,” she said, of council’s deci-sion to delay action.
“We can continue to offer our programs there, but without as-sembly status nobody else can utilize the building.”
“If council doesn’t want to share the grant opportunity,” she con-tinued. “[Maybe] they will see their way into relaxing the require-ment of paving.”
In the grant appli-cation, the quote for paving work that still needs to be completed is $33,000.
Ksan’s grant ap-plication needed to be backed by council in or-der to be considered by the Northern Develop-ment Initiative Trust.
The trust was es-tablished with monies earned from the long term lease by CN of BC Rail tracks and distrib-utes fi nancial assistance in a variety of ways.
Currently there’s ap-proximately $250,000 in an account earmarked for local use if council fi rst gives its blessing.
But, in a report to city council, fi nance director Ron Bowles noted the city has planned to use the money to replace or renovate aging city buildings, listing the aquatic centre and city hall among candidates.
The city is draft-ing a pool mas-ter plan, he noted.“There are competing
interests for that mon-ey,” said Bowles.
“[The society’s re-quest] doesn’t really fi t with the city’s man-date.” Council members had concerns about the application, calling for a general discussion about the need for com-munity spaces on the south side, beyond this specifi c request.
Councillor Brian Downie did note the re-quest brings up a valid point.
“Aside from the Elk’s Hall, maybe the schools, there aren’t any facilities on the south side. There’s a logical argument it could be a priority for the city.”But he said there need-ed to be further discus-sion about the amount of people who would be using the Ksan House space before the city could support letting go of the cash.
“We need to have a full conversation on the
need for facilities on the south side,” said coun-cillor Stacey Tyers.
“But what the ap-plication is missing is the amount of people the hall would actually hold,” she said.
“For me, if it’s an-other venue that will only hold 50 people, that might not be a pri-ority. But if it would hold 200, then maybe that would be a prior-ity,” said Tyers of the situation.
Grant request frozen for now

A WOMAN will have to pay six fi gures in restitution after pleading guilty to stealing money from a northwest credit
union branch during a 14-month time period.
Margaret Sousa Klonarakis of Kitimat was ordered to pay res-titution of $100,504.41 to Envision Financial Credit Union by Judge
Calvin Struyk as part of her sentence Aug. 24. She was a credit union employee at the time of the theft.
Klonarakis was charged with fraud over $5,000 and theft over
$5,000 from the credit union between Sept. 1, 2009 and Nov. 23, 2010.
She will spend six months on a condition-al sentence order with conditions that include
spending the fi rst four months inside her resi-dence 24 hours each day seven days each week, not going to Envision or within 25 metres of the building and to not pos-sess the fi nancial docu-
ments of any person or conduct any fi nancial business for anybody.
Klonarakis will then spend 18 months on probation with similar conditions and complete 50 hours of community
work service within the fi rst year of her proba-tion. Klonarakis will also have to pay a $100 victim fi ne surcharge.
The charge of fraud over $5,000 was stayed by the prosecutor.

The Dogwood Initia-tive is being as political as it can without being partisan, he added.
“I think it’s a big opportunity for both provincial NDP and provincial Liberals to strengthen their position and a stronger position I suspect will bring more votes,” he said, adding the Enbridge pipeline issue is set to become a decisive election issue in 2013.
“I’m confi dent if the provincial government decided to stop [the pipeline] they could,” he said.

TWO ADULTS face charges after Lisims/Nass Valley RCMP executed a search warrant in Gingolx.
After several months of investigation, po-lice detained an adult male and female at the residence in the 1700 block of Volunteer St., a place police say is well-known for bootlegging, said police Aug. 31.
Offi cers seized two sealed cases of 26-ounce Smirnoff vodka, more than 40 cans of liquor cooler drinks, score sheets, liquor store re-ceipts totalling $1,200 for August and a small calibre rifl e, said police.
“This illegal activ-ity just creates victims and we see the tragic re-sults.” said Sgt. Donovan Tait, offi cer in charge of the Lisims/Nass Val-ley RCMP. Police will be seeking charges of unlawful sale of liquor and offi cers continue to investigate.

Fire fi ghting costs dropBy SAMANTHA GARVEY
FOREST fi re fi ght-ing costs have dropped compared to last year even though there have been twice as many blazes as 2011.
So far this year the province has spent $2.9 million fi ghting fi res in the northwest, substan-tially less than the $4.3 million spent in 2011.
And a large chunk of last year’s total, $3.1 million, was spent fi ght-ing just one fi re, the 11,000-hectare Tsigar Lake fi re in the northern section of the region.
That fi re required a lot of aircraft and heli-copter time and person-nel to bring under con-trol.
There were 18 north-west fi res last year, a low number because of the cool and wet sum-mer which blanketed the entire province.
Of that number, 12 were caused by light-ning, fi ve by humans and one of unknown origin. The potential for fi res this year has been high-er, resulting in 93 starts
so far in the northwest, 65 lightning-caused and 28 human-caused.
Although 93 starts is much higher than the year previous it is still considered a slow fi re season.
Provincially, 2011 was the slowest fi re season in more than 70 years. At this time last year, $74 million was
spent on fi re fi ghting and so far this year the cost has been approxi-mately $112 million.
That latter fi gure may change once the province receives pay-ment for work done in other provinces by B.C. fi refi ghters.
What has been un-usually high this year is the number of aban-
doned campfi res, said Lindsay Carnes from the forest ministry’s Northwest Fire Centre in Smithers.
Despite warnings re-leased from the fi re cen-tre, there have been 54 abandoned campfi res in the northwest district, two of which spread into surrounding bush and became classifi ed
as wildfi res.Carnes said a high
number of abandoned campfi res can be a factor in deciding to ban campfi res or not.“We considered it this year, except it it didn’t make sense to put a campfi re ban in place... because we were ex-pecting cooler, wetter conditions,” she said.

THE MORICE Lake fi re, seen here on Aug. 18, grew to approximately 1,400 hectares.
Fire strategyhas shifted
By Samantha Garvey
LAST WEEK the fi re danger rating was changed back to low and the ban on open fi res was lifted.
But two fi res in the northwest continued to burn through their surroundings. As of Aug. 30, crews were containing fl ames on just one side of a 3,500 hectare fi re outside of Boya Lake Provincial Park north of here and doing the same at a 1,400 hectare blaze near Morice Lake south of Houston.
Each fi re was also being closely moni-tored.
“If we can let a fi re burn naturally, we will,” said Tony Falcao from the forest ser-vice’s wildfi re management branch in Ter-race.
An expert in forest fi re fuels management, Falcao says allowing a fi re to burn is not only good for the forest itself, but will also burn fallen trees and dead debris, which can serve as fuel for a future unexpected fi re.
Things changed in the way forest fi res were treated in B.C. after 2003 which was B.C.’s worst season record based on the num-ber of fi res, their intensity and accompanying destruction.
Gordon Campbell, the premier at the time, commissioned a report to discover why the fi res were beginning to burn more intensely.
The results of the Firestorm 2003 Report stated, “It is clear that a successful record of fi re suppression has led to a fuel buildup in the forests of British Columbia.
“The fuel buildup means that there will be more signifi cant and severe wildfi res ... un-less action is taken.”

In response, the province began a program to manage the fuels on the forest fl oor by funneling money through the Union of B.C. Munici-palities (UBCM).
“The intent is to enable com-munities to create community wild-fi re protection plans,” said Falcao. “One element is to look at the land-scape around the community and rec-ognizing potential hazards,” he said, adding that for this area, most of the activity is cleaning up ground fuels and pruning to two or three metres.
Pruning is removing lower branch-es from living trees so that fi res from the forest fl oor cannot spread so eas-ily to the trees.
The more height fuels have, the more of a threat is posed, Falcao said.
The most common and cost-effec-tive way to dispose of fi re fuels is by burning it on-site in small piles.
But depending on the location, a wood chipper may be used. The wood chips are spread out or occasionally hauled out of the area and used as a bed for trails.
For example, if a fuel build up was near a school, crews would avoid burning because of smoke issues.
Fires are not only benefi cial to managing the build up of fuels, but for the health of the forest itself.
“You get a big kick of nutrients for
two years,” said Dave Coates, research silviculturist with the Skeena regional offi ce of the B.C. Forest Service.
He said that nutrients are released from organic matter in a fi re and left on the forest fl oor. That combined with a dense seed bed (seeds are separated from trees during a blaze), warmer soil temperatures and more sunlight (if a forest’s canopy has burned), cre-ates ideal growing conditions.
In the fi rst two years, herbs and shrubs will grow exceptionally well, Coates said.
As well, a natural regeneration of trees will take place: new trees grow-ing from the ashes of old ones.
Fire is also important for the de-struction of diseased trees, which old forests will always have. But when a fi re burns through them, all new growth will be healthy disease-free trees.
“That’s one of the great things about fi res: It creates ideal condition for regeneration of new trees,” Coates said.
Also in the fi rst two years after a fi re, it is not uncommon to see a new growth of morel mushrooms.
“They can be very abundant, es-pecially up north and people love to pick them,” said Coates.
Wild berries will return anywhere from fi ve to 30 years after a fi re has gone through a forest.

STATISTICS Canada released its 2012 health profi le this summer, and the numbers from last year show the northwest falls well behind the prov-ince when it comes to a number of health indicators.
In terms of perceived health, only 53.1 per cent of people in the north-west say they perceive to have very good or excellent health.
That number is below the 59.6 per cent in the province and is the lowest in northern B.C. compared to the 53.3 per cent in the interior and the 61.1 per cent in the northeast.
In terms of mental health, 63.4 per cent of people said they perceive it to be good or excellent, again well below the 71 per cent in the province and the lowest in the Northern Health Authority area when compared to 67.1 per cent in the northern interior and 73.2 per cent in the northeast.
Despite those numbers, people in the northwest have a lower per cent of people who perceive life stress of at 20.2 per cent compared to 21.4 per cent in B.C., 22.3 per cent in the northern interior and 22.2 per cent in the northeast.
When it comes to weight concerns, 62.1 per cent of people in the North-
west Health Services Delivery Area were reported as being overweight or obese, while across the province the number was 44.7 per cent.
The number for the region is also the highest in Northern Health, with 54.9 per cent reporting being obese or overweight in the northern interior and 58.2 per cent reporting the same in the northeast.
People in the northwest also have a higher percentage of high blood pres-sure than others in B.C. and northern B.C., with 16.7 per cent reporting high blood pressure compared to 14.9 per cent across the province, 15.9 per cent in the interior and 12.8 per cent in the northeast.
In the northwest 20.9 per cent of people say they smoke daily or occa-sionally, well above the 16.7 per cent in the province.
However, both the interior and the northeast have higher rates of smok-ing at 23.4 per cent and 27.7 per cent respectively.
When it comes to drinking, 19.5 per cent are reportedly heavy drinkers compared to 19.8 per cent in the inte-rior, 18 per cent in the northeast and 15.8 per cent in the province.
Overall, healthier eating habits, regular exercise and avoiding over drinking and smoking are best.

TWO LOCAL air cadets were awarded for their hard work at the training centre where they spent their summer.
Cadet Mitchell Hess and Cadet Michael Brown, both from the 747 Terrace Royal Ca-nadian Air Cadet Squad-ron, completed the three-week Basic Drill Ceremonial Course at Albert Head Air Cadet Summer Training Cen-tre near Victoria, B.C.
At the fi nal gradu-ation parade, Hess re-ceived a plaque for Top Cadet and Brown won his for Most Improved.
They were nominat-ed out of 35 cadets in their fl ight.
The mission of the Basic Drill and Cer-emonial Course is to supplement the training
conducted at the cadet’s local squadron and to achieve the Basic Lead-ership qualifi cation and
be able to further devel-op leadership, drill and ceremonial knowledge, and skills.

Back to school backpacks ■VOLUNTEERS RUSSELL Maxwell, left, Peter Braganza, and Leah Harris from the food bank stuff backpacks at the Salvation Army Aug. 27. The backpacks, fi lled with school supplies, were given out to children in need.
ORGANIZERS TOUT the third annual Kidney Walk as a great success.
“We had a great day– raising approximately $13,000,” said Joan Iamele.
The money came from partici-pants, individuals and teams, who donated and received pledges, 11 sponsors and businesses, who gave cash donations, and many gift dona-tions were given in food/beverages and for the prizes, she says.
Participants walked or ran the Twin Spruce Trails and children en-joyed a scavenger hunt and a treat on their return, says Iamele. An information table on site included forms and information from the B.C. Transplant Society, she adds.
“I believe we are getting the mes-sage out and hopefully closing the gap of 85 per cent saying they agree with being registered but only 18 per cent actually being registered,” says Iamele.
The 25 volunteers made the day a great success, she says.
The Knights of Columbus hosted a hot dog barbecue, and the Dragon Boat Society came out and had oth-ers join them for a 2.5-kilometre paddle, she adds.
“I am looking forward to the fourth annual walk, next year,” she says.

WATCH FOR falling ping pong balls, race a zucchini and bet on where the cow patty will drop at the fall fair this weekend.
The Ping Pong Ball Drop is for children ages two to 13, who will see ping pong balls falling from the sky, pick them up and win prizes.
Skeena Valley Fall Fair Society director Jennifer Lewis says the ping pong ball drop was her idea – a mem-ory from her childhood.
“When I was a kid here in Terrace, they used to do it at the Skeena Mall. I know as a kid that was one of our highlights. That’s where I got the idea from,” she says.
“As kids, we would go to the mall, sit in the parking lot and wait for the ping pong balls to drop on us. So fun,”
she says, adding the other ideas came from other society members.
“We wanted more things for more kids to participate in,” says Lewis.
The idea is to draw families down to the fair, she adds.
The Zucchini Race invites people to poke axels with wheels into a zuc-chini, register it and watch it race to see who has the fastest vegetable.
The Cow Patty Drop asks people to take a peek at a grid drawn on the 4-H pen at the community grounds, buy a square on the grid where they believe a bovine will drop its patty, and win prizes if they chose correctly.
“Everything’s coming together and we’re really excited,” says Lewis. For rules on how to race a zucchini, how to bet on a cow patty drop and more details about events, see the fall fair website at skeenavalleyfallfair.com.

Fundraiser helps storm victimsA SOLDOUT fundraiser brought in nearly $5,000 to help rebuild the lives of people washed out of their homes by a tropical storm in the Philippines.
Organizers sent $4,600 for housing in Illigan City and Cagayan de Oro on Mindanao Island to Emmanuel Interna-tional from the fundraiser at Terrace Pentecostal Aug. 11.
Emmanuel International is a Christian relief and rehabili-tation organization whose pro-grams and projects transform thousands of lives around the world. It has been working in the Philippines since 1980.
In December 2011, tropical storm Washi hit areas of Mind-anao Island without warning in the middle of the night.
Up to 1,000 people lost their lives and many houses were completely destroyed.
Many of these people are still livng in tents, which have also been fl ooded. Emmanuel International wants to build replacement housing in Illigan City, that’s sturdier and stron-ger. Homes will cost about $2,000 to $2,500 each. The or-ganization is part of a consor-tium in Cagayan de Oro with groups such as Habitat for Hu-manity, where they will also assist in building houses.
More than 140 people at-tended the fundraiser and had a wonderful time, including a meal with everything from roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy and sushi, prepared and donated by Cafenara, to cur-ried chicken, chicken adobo, Sudanese and Ethiopian dish-es, and Panamanian pork , and more. All that was thanks to a variety of chefs from Korea, Panama, India, the Philippines,
Canada and guest speaker Mel Middleton pitched in as a chef from Ethiopia and Sudan.
“As always our kitchen crew under the guidance of Mu-riel Hubbard did an absolutely amazing job!” says organizer Kathryn Vandermeulen.
Entertainment included some of the Latin folk dances from Riverboat Days, three children did a folk dance called Little Frog, Elijah Bowen did a fi ne rendition of a poem called The Wind, compete with ac-tions, Rosaura Diaz performed a Panamanian folk dance and Sandra Yoo played Amaz-ing Grace on her violin while her sister Julia sang and their mother Yoon Yoo accompanied them on piano and signed it.
“It was all very beautiful,” says Vandermeulen.
Middleton showed his pow-erpoint presentation and spoke
on the situation in the Philip-pines.
“It was very moving and people were very attentive,” says Vandermeulen. “With all of his experience overseas, he really has stories that captivate people.” Donations were ac-cepted and there was a silent auction.
“We were thrilled to be able to forward the money to Em-manuel International and are looking forward to hearing back from them as the project progresses,” says Vandermeu-len. “We really appreciate Ter-race Pentecostal Assembly for graciously allowing Emmanuel International the use of their facilities, and appreciate the amazing generosity of so many people in Terrace, who donated time, material goods and dona-tions toward making this fund-raiser the success that it was.”

Betty HarperBetty Harper, daughter of Jack
and Amelia Gattinger was born near the village of Duff, SK in March 1926. She passed away on August 8, 2012.
Betty is survived by two daugh-ters and one son: Marguerite Colborne – Prince George, BC, Elizabeth Konkin – Calgary, AB,
and Bill Harper – Terrace, BC; eleven grandchil-dren and one great grandchild.
Betty is predeceased by her parents, sisters Fran-ces Smulan and Roslyn Friesen, and brother Eu-gene.
Besides being a mother, Betty spent more than 35 years in the classroom at Lemberg and Hudson Bay, SK, as well as Terrace and Sorrento, BC. Her heart was in the teaching system where she spent most of her time with first-graders. Music, especially the piano, was a vocation of hers. When retired from teaching, she spent a very happy period of four years, 1985-1989, as an Activity Worker at Ina Grafton Gage Nursing Home in Moose Jaw. Zion United Church was her church-home. All through the years the message proclaimed by the Church was very important to Betty.
A Celebration of Betty’s life was held at St.Andrew’s United Church on Monday August 20, 2012. Reverend Jim Tenford officiated. Following Cremation, memorialization took place in the family plot at the Indian Head Cemetery.

FROM LEFT the members of Zone 10’s track team: Donna Graf, Pat Kirkaldy, Maxine Smallwood and Bob Goodvin made the trek to the 2012 B.C. Senior Games to represent the northwest.
Northwest senior athletes shine at games THE NORTHWEST’S senior athletes, representing Zone 10 at the B.C. Senior Games held in Burnaby Aug. 21 to 25, have returned home and they bring with them oodles of memories and a whole whack of medals.
Ninety seniors hailing from Haida Gwaii, Prince Rupert, Ter-race and Kitimat – out of a mem-bership of 182 – travelled for the tournament, which also happened to be the 25th anniversary of the games.
Eleven participants and athletes from across the province, includ-ing fi ve from Zone 10, have been with the games from the begin-ning, and celebrated their 25th games anniversary.
Betty Nordstrom, Mary Arneson, Dorothy Cheyne, and Bob Goodvin have been members for 25 consecutive years and Max-ine Smallwood has competed in 25 consecutive games – 23 of those years in track and fi eld events.
Smallwood and Goodvin brought home 11 medals in total in track and fi eld and Nordstrom was a member of the gold winning fi ve-pin bowling team.
“We did very well,” said Zone
10 president Bill Whitty. Athletes competed in 14 of the
26 events available, bringing home a total of 71 individual medals – 32 gold, 17 silver, and 22 bronze, he said.
Archery saw Zone 10 win two gold, three silver; cribbage with four gold, two silver, two bronze; the bowling team of four won bronze; fl oor curling’s “B” team with bronze; golf with fi ve gold, two silver; horseshoes with four gold, one silver; swimming with three golf, two silver, three bronze; track and fi eld two gold, seven sil-ver, eight bronze; whist winning gold; and fi ve-pin bowling’s “A” team taking gold, plus three other gold medals.
There were also six Zone 10 members who paddled for other zones in dragon boat racing.
Next year’s games will be held in Kamloops from Aug. 20 to 24.
“Zone 10 is looking forward to participating and having an even better result,” said Whitty.
Zone 10 is thinking about start-ing to practice pickleball, he said. It’s a new sport similar to table ten-nis that has been gaining traction and was popular at the games.
Guess what time of year it is?Hockey camp marks a season set to begin THE SIXTH Warrior Goalie Training camp took place in Terrace last week, a reminder that the local hockey season is starting soon (all bets are off for the NHL).
Coach and camp organizer Justin Foote and his three assistant coaches hosted 13 young goalies at the Terrace Sportsplex Aug. 27 to 31.
The popular northwest camp has been going on for six years. It is based out of Williams Lake and held camps in Quesnel and 100 Mile House before stopping in Terrace.
Goalies ranging in age from seven to 17 and hailing from Smithers, Kitimat and Terrace took part in the camp, which stresses goalie fundamentals, skating and theory.
“Everybody’s at a different level,” said Foote. “But ev-eryone can benefi t from going back to the basics, or as we like to say, refi ning the fundamentals.”
Participants saw two ice sessions a day, one purely fo-cussing on skating, and the other integrating the skating and lessons with pucks. There are dryland sessions and theory classes that prep the players for the mental chal-lenges that are specifi c to being a goalie – what happens when you get cut, how to keep a good attitude on the ice.
Foote said the goalies improve greatly over the course of the camp and the response has been good.
“It’s been great,” he said. “Lots of support from the community up here. A lot of people appreciate this type of training because usually you’d have to travel for hours.”
“Terrace Minor Hockey has been a huge supporter of the camp,” he said, adding they couldn’t do it without them.
And in other hockey news, the Terrace River Kings are back on the ice. Offi cial tryouts are this week, with four intersquad games to play before the CIHL Challenge Cup, held here in Terrace Sept. 28 and 29.
ANNA KILLEN PHOTO
NICK ALMEIDA, left, and Marshall Wilson take a knee during the last day of the Sixth Warriors Goalie Training camp on Aug. 30.
Nick Cochrane has fl own here from Langley where he teaches school. Nick has recently taken to fl yfi shing, which has led him
to the Thompson in pursuit of rainbow trout, and to the Vedder Canal where he casts to the hatchery coho. He could try his luck for steelhead upriver, in the Vedder River proper and above that in the Chilli-wack, but he hasn’t the appetite for combat fi shing.
Every run is crowded like we saw on Ferry Island, he tells me. A guy will put his pack down on the beach and lean his rod against it then go in the bush to take a pee, and some other guy will step into his place and begin to fi sh. The other guy will return and say it was his spot and the fi ght is on.
I nod knowingly. The Vedder is the most heavily fi shed river in B.C. The Kitimat is close behind. Both rivers are powered by hatcheries and both are kill fi sheries. Hatch-ery fi sheries tend to bring out the worst in fi shermen in a highly charged competitive atmosphere.
I turn on the Copper River Main.Somebody has used the signs for target
practice, Nick observes. And, sure enough, somebody has. Ev-
ery one of them has bullet holes or has been partially shot away. Discharging fi re arms on roadways is illegal, dangerous, and troubling. Ethical hunters would never
do such a thing, beg-ging the question: who would?
We make our way into the Wall. I send Nick ahead with in-structions to swim his dark fl y close to shore. After an hour of deter-mined effort neither of us has had so much as a sniff. After lunch we drive past the lower can-yon and hack our way through the devil’s club to another good reach.
Since Nick’s trout rod was too feeble for the task at hand, I gave him him an eight-weight rod and stupidly neglect-ed to tell him what to expect when a bright steelhead takes, and how to handle the vin-tage Hardy perfect reel when one does. Af-ter a few minutes a bright steelhead smash-es his fl y. Nick is totally unprepared for the ferocity of the strike and the lightning fast speed of the fi sh’s run. The fl y line burns his hand. The reel handle jams against his thumb. The line snaps. It’s over.
Fortunately, there is another summer run passing by. Nick hooks it too, and, fol-lowing the briefi ng by me, he handles this
one much better, getting it to the shoreline before losing it.
The next day we’re out after more, on the North Copper Road this time. At the top of the hill there is the bullet-ridden corpse of a sedan. The wheels are gone. The windows are smashed.
What happened there? asks Nick. I tell him that I’ve seen simi-lar wrecks at the Her-man’s Creek parking lot, on the Thunderbird Road, and that easily a half dozen of them are strewn about the Copper River Flats. The only ex-
planation I can come up with is that these vehicles are bought – or stolen – then joy ridden before being dismembered then lit on fi re. Considering what goes into the making of car, these fi res are are highly toxic, and the ground around them remains saturated with contaminants. The whole act is littering on a grand scale, and the fact that the creeps doing it are armed in some cases is unsettling, to say the least.
The next morning, Nick and I pass a young woman with pink highlights in her
hair walking up the hill at one kilometre on the Copper Main. She is wearing a skimpy outfi t and looks as if she’d recently had a tumble in a clothes dryer. I tell Nick that I’ve been driving this road for 40 years and have never seen a woman walking along it.
At the two-kilometre board, three vehi-cles are parked on the road a few feet past an expansive pullout frequently used by the heavy machinery operators. A bare foot sticks out of the canopy of the fi rst. These cars are probably the ones that couldn’t fi t in Cody Skog’s abandoned property across the way where there was obviously a party the night before.
I give Nick a hasty tour of the river. He catches some more steelhead. Late in the afternoon we make our way into Baxter’s riffl e. Bottles are strewn about between the ragged remains of messy campfi res. Some slob has dragged the remnants of a wooden packing crate with nails sticking out of it and unsuccessfully attempted to use it as kindling for his fi re.
With the beauty and cleanliness of Banff and Jasper still fresh in my mind, I look at this crap then up to the clear cut patchwork on the Zymoetz Valley and wonder how we, the citizens of Skeena could have allowed one of world’s greatest salmon streams to be treated so shabbily, and what impres-sion young Nick and all the other tourists that visit it are taking home with them.

King of the Mountain race reigns THE 35TH annual King of the Mountain trail race was a terrifi c success, with a higher turnout than organizers expected and solid reviews of the race’s new route.
Sixty-nine people, ages ranging from sev-en to 63, turned out for the 10-kilometre race that this year took the Terrace Mountain bike loop instead of the hik-ing loop.
The new route ap-peared to breathe new life into the race, which has seen its numbers de-cline the last few years.
“Everyone loved the new route,” said orga-nizer Nadene Butler. “We had people men-tion that the King of the Mountain is the best trail race in the north-west.”
Racers, hailing from Terrace, Smith-ers, Prince Rupert, Kitimat, and Prince George, started at the Terrace Sportsplex and continued past the pool entrance onto Park Av-enue. From there, they travelled approximately one kilometre up the Park hill road until hit-ting the Johnstone Street trail head and continu-ing all the way around the bike loop, 7.9 kilo-metres, until ending up back at the start of the trail head.
“We are hoping that through word of mouth
we can add even more people next year and maybe get over 100 people,” said Butler.
“We would like to mention a big thanks to all of our hardwork-ing volunteers as well as Terrace Search and Rescue for attending,” she said.

FLOORING I CABINETS I WINDOW COVERINGS I INSTALLATION ABOUT US...The Skeena Valley Fall Fair is back for 2012! Although the last Fall Fair was 2006,
there is now renewed energy and enthusiasm. The community has responded and has become involved. Local agriculture has always been a big part of the Skeena Valley, and the Fall Fair is our chance to celebrate that. In addition, there’s been a resurgence in local, backyard, and sustainable food-growing. Urbanites are raising chickens in their backyards; new gardeners are talking to their friends about their fi rst efforts at growing squashes, beans and beets, and there are, of course, those unrecognized ex-perts who’ve always been there--growing beautiful fl owers, gorgeous vegetables, and bountiful fruits. The Fall Fair is the perfect place to celebrate all of these talents!
