Health workers reject pay cuts HOSPITAL WORKERS here and in a majority of hospitals and health care facilities across the north have reject- ed a third attempt to cut their wages and benefits.

And that could open the way for the Northern Health Authority to contract out more than 2,000 jobs in the at- tempt to cut its spending - and deficit - by up to $7 million.

The latest rejection, which came last week, did not even reach a formal balloting stage. Instead, 16 of 20 lo- cals of the Hospital Employees' Union (HEU) across the north decided they would not even hold a vote on an amended contract cutting their wages and benefits, says union official Cathy Jessome.

The amended contract would have lasted until the end of next March, re- sulting in the loss of an average $3.25

an hour, four fewer vacation days and tacking on an extra one and a half hours to the standard 36-hour work week.

"They've elected to wait for collec- tive bargaining in hopes the govern- ment will treat them with some respect," said Jessome of talks set to begin soon for a new contract to take hold as of April 1 of next year.

Health authorities last week were reluctant to say what they will do next.

"But we have said that turning to private contractors is a n option. Although it hasn't been our first choice, we have to consider every- thing when we have our backs up against the wall," said health authority official Mark Karjaluoto.

Only hospital workers in Burns Lake, Vanderhoof, Mackenzie and workers at an extended care facility in

Prince George decided they want to have a vote, said Jessome.

This third attempt at a new contract arrangement represented a different approach as union locals were asked to vote independently of each other.

An attempt at a similar contract in early October, in which various health care Union locals voted together, failed because of a quirk in the HEU constitution. It States that two-thirds of its locals when asked to vote en mass on contracts had to be in favour.

Although 56 p e r cent of union members across the north over all vot- ed in favour, those votes, when ap- plied to each local in which they were cast, were not enough to produce that two-third majority requirement.

Jessome said HEU members did not feel there was a lot of protection in voting local by local.

A region-wide deal would have meant that had the Norihern Health Authority decided to contract out in just one place, it would have to restore wages and benefits to all of its other workers across the north as a penalty, she said.

But local contracts mean the au- thority, if it did contract out within the local, would only have to restore wag- es to those members belonging to it, Jessome continued.

Jessome said. the union will now try to convince the health authority not to take the step of contracting out servic- es.

"We're saying take a really good luck at what is happening on the Low- er Mainland. It is disastrous," she said.

A first attempt at cutting wages and benefits was made in the spring and was a province-wide effort but it failed

like others, has approached contra- cting out as a last resort.

cuts, members of another union who work at Terraceview Lodge have de- cided to make less money to avoid having their jobs contracted out.

Approximately half of the lodge's 80 British Columbia and Government and Service Employee ' s Union (BCGEU) members turned out to vote last week and of those who did, 58 per cent approved the cuts, says local union official Shelley Anderson.

"They decided to protect their jobs and to live and fight another day," said Anderson.

Mills workers get money gradually NEW SKEENA Forest Products has struck a deal to make a remaining payout to mill workers here in install- ments over the next four months.

The 160 IWA members are owed $1,250 under the "poison pill" provision of their agreement last spring. New Skeena had to pay the money if it failed to get the Terrace sawmill running by Sept. 15. ~

It works out to $2001000, the company: 6wes: bh/t0p o f the $800,000 it already paid workers over the summer.

"We are managing our cash very carefully," New Skeena president Dan Veniez said, adding efforts con- tinue to assemble financing to restart the operations.

"The union local was extremely cooperative and ac- commodating and we appreciate it very much," he said.

IWA local 2171 president Darrei Wong said the union agreed to the proposal and shelved its action to take the matter to arbitration.

He said that route would likely have ended with an instalment plan being approved anyway, in light of New Skeena's cash, shortage.

But Wong said it 's all further evidence that New Skeena's owners need to put their financing in place quickly or else sell out to someone who can.

"I think that decision needs to be made very quickly," he said. "Time is running out for everyone."

"The workers as well as their families and the com- munity have suffered enough. It's time to either open the place up or sell it and move on."

Wong blames the government for rushing to sell Skeena Cellulose, ultimately to buyers without deep enough pockets.

"It was short-sighted and now look at the pain and suffering it's caused," he said. "I lay that entirely at the feet of government."

Veniez also said the chances of the Terrace sawmill firing up this year are fading.

He said the possibility of an early startup - by year's end rather than April or later as previously announced - now appears unlikely.

"Given the volatility of lumber markets and the weakening U.S. dollar and no home for our chips, we can't make it work at this time," Veniez said.

"That is the unfortunate conclusion - which under- scores the need for us to get the pulp mill up and running fast."

Veniez said late last month the company would re- view the situation and try to find a way to make an early restart of the Terrace mill happen.

New Skeena did restart its Kitwanga sawmill a few weeks ago.

Lupick, the boyfriend of Walker 's mother, Debra, was kicked and stomped to death by Walker in the parking lot of the Keystone apartments on Scott Ave. after a night of heavy drinking at his mother's apartment.

Around 2 a.m. an argument erupted between Debra Walker and Lupick when he tried to leave the apartment, court heard. What happened between that argu- ment and Lupick's eventual beating is not clear as there were no independent wit- nesses leading up to the attack, court heard.

Police were called to the gravel park- ing lot behind the apartment building shortly after 2 a.m. after witnesses saw Shawn Walker jumping up and down on Lupick's head and kicking him repeated- ly. Lupick was intoxicated, unconscious and unable to protect himself.

De Walle told the court it wasn't the first t ime Lupick had been assaulted when trying to leave his girlfriend's place.

"On one occasion [apartment manager James] Devaney witnessed an incident where Debra Walker kicked Lorne Lupick immediately after the sentencing.

Bargaining for a new BCGEU contract to begin as of April 1 is to start early next year.

Anderson said she hoped the health authority will not renew its demands for wage and benefits cuts as part of its ne- gotiating platform for the new contract.

BCGEU workers at Bulkley Lodge, the extended care facility in Smithers, decid- ed not to take a vote, she added.

The BCGEU represents about 300 of the 2,800 workers across the north the Northern Health Authority has targeted for wage and benefit cuts to ease its budget deficit.

Kermode obtains good exposure

hree win Olympic contest AN OLYMPIC torch, a red maple leaf and mountains all figured prominently in the winners of the "2101 Winter Olympics Unoffi- cial E m b l e m Contest" aimed at promoting the kermode bear as the sym- bol of the winter games.

Terrace photographer John Roders, amateur ar- tist Holly Wassink and Grade 7 Clarence Michiel student Erin Bailey were selected as winners by judges Brian Downie of Terrace and Joanne Mo- naghan from Kitirnat,

Downie and Monaghan, both members of the area's 2010 Winter Olympics benefits team, said they were impressed by the 30 artists who submitted 40 designs.

The pair spent the after- noon of Oct. 22 going over the entries before making their decisions.

Two adult categories were established - o n e for those who used computers or other equipment to create their designs and ones who did not.

Those who entered were free to use their creativity and originality - as long as the emblems contained the Olympic rings and the northwest's very own ker- mode bear.

Terrace Crime Stoppers Lucky Dollar Bingo Palace has assisted Terrace Crimestoppers

br several years. Ways in which funds have been used to support Crime Stoppers have been to sponsor a poster contest which ran throughout the elementary schools. The theme was "Promoting Crime Prevention." Funds have also been used to purchase promotional items to promote the society. These have included items such as golf balls, friclge magnets, white boards, fish lures and t-shirts. Other uses of funds include registration to Crime Stoppers conferences and ongoing training, tips line monitoring, the purchase of a laptop computer for RC~P Crime Stopper liaison, and a booth at the spring trade show promoting the society. Funds also provide the opportunity to promote our annual Jail'n'Bail out at Riverboat Days in August. Without monetary assistance from the Lucky Dollar Bingo, many of our awareness and promotional campaigns would not be possible.

News In Brief

then it probably isn't POLICE warn Terrace area residents of a lottery fraud which tells victims they've won millions of dollars. The fraudulent letters come from Madrid, Spain and ask recipients to keep the news of win- ning more than $26 million U.S. a secret until the claim's processed, police said.

A local man received two such letters fronl sep- arate companies in Spain bearing the same letter- head - Santa Luca Security Co, and Seguros Map- fre Security Co,

Police advise the letters requests that the recipi- ent contact a claim agent as soon as possible and to complete a payment processing tbrm which asks for personal information and bank account numbers, police say.

Both letters also contain several grammatical and spelling errors and provide an overseas tele- phone and fax number. Police advise any local res- idents who receive such letters not to respond or provide any sort of personal information.

Paintball pranks prompts police warning

LOCAL RCMP are asking local paintbali gun owners to transport the guns in the truck of their car or in a closed bag while in public.

The reminder comes after two reports to police involving paintball guns in recent weeks.

A local home was vandalized recently when it was shot by paintball guns at 9:45 p.m. Oct. 18. A vehicle was seen speeding away and was stopped shortly after by police. Four young men were ar- rested and a paintball gun was seized,

They were released with no charges because the victim has agreed to a cleanup arrangement with the four youth. And another incident just two days later resulted in police seizing another paintball gun which closely resembled a shotgun from two young men, police said.

Police were called at 9:20 a.m. after receiving a report by a passing motorist of two boys handling a gun near Sparks St. and Tuck Ave. Police quickly located the two youngsters who were on their way to school to show the gun to their friends.

Police said the Coast Mountain School District is reminding students paintball guns are not per- mitted in area schools. Police treat all firearms re- lated calls as potentially life threatening.

Flood aid needed THE RED Cross wants to raise $1 million for flood victims in the Pemberton and Squamish areas.

Tell us m o r e THE NORTHERN Health Authority must move quickly to fill the growing information gap about its plans to change the way it cares for seniors.

Earlier this year the authority released its gen- eral three-year vision to boost community and home-care services for seniors. Simply put, the authority wants to do everything possible to have seniors live at home for as long as possible.

Given the strain on health care budgets, the plan does make sense. It is much cheaper to care for seniors in their homes through services such as Meals on Wheels and visiting nurses than it does to place people in institutions.

On a human level, home-care is preferred as people can continue to live in familiar surround- ings, supported as the need arises by the above- mentioned and other services.

Only those people who need the highest level of care would be placed into institutions.

This explains the Northern Health Authority's vision for Terraceview Lodge. From its current 75 intermediate and extended care beds, the three- year plan calls for a cut to 50 highly specialized care beds.

On paper, at least, so far so good. There's an assumption the money not spent on those 25 soon- to-be-gone beds would be shifted to providing those home and community services providing more value and more overall care.

But there are now reports of beds already being closed or being left vacant at Terraceview. And to date, the Northern Health Authority has been re- luctant to flesh out the quantity, quality and cost of community and home care.

, The P.rq, b,lem!s,th.a, t the Northern, Health Author- i t y is'trying:to tl0 tw0 thingS{at;oi~e = cha~age the

public perception that the quality of health care is directly tied to the number of beds in hospitals and in long term care institutions and shift to more

, community and home services. A failure by the health authority to completely

lay out its plans for senior care will only heighten opposition and worries. Right now, the worry and opposition mainly comes from seniors and health care advocates.

But as time goes on, opposition will spread to other people, leading to widespread discontent and suspicion, painting the Northern Health Authority as an autocratic, unfeeling and cold-hearted bu- reaucratic monolith inhabited only by bean coun- ters and systems analysts.

And that will ultimately become a problem for the health authority's political masters, the provin- cial Liberal government. The governing Liberals made much of the previous NDP government's health care problems. There's no way they want to be put in the same position.

Yet that's exactly what's going to happen unless the health authority is more forthcoming.

Liberals will ( ',feat new Tories VICTORIA- Let me see if I got this straight. There once was a Progressive Conservative Party that once in a long while formed the government.

Along came Preston Manning, a western upstart, stole most the Tory marbles, and ever since, what is loosely referred to the Ca- nadian Right, has been lamenting that it is being kept from forming another government by the frag- mentation of the right vote.

The aforementioned upstart eventually responded to the call for unity of the right by propos- ing that changing the name of his party from Reform Party to Cana- dian Alliance would do the trick.

Unfortunately, in the process he lost the leadership of the new party to one Stockwell Day, the man who believes the world is only 6,000 years old and that homo sapiens walked with the dinosaurs.

He didn't last very long and was replaced by one Stephen Harper. ..... ~ . . . . . .

Meanwhile, the old Tories lan- guished as a fourth party barely managing to get a handful of candidates elected.

But all that is going to change now that the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party have struck a deal to unite under a single right-wing ban- ner to be called the Conservative Party of Canada.

HUBERTBEYER

Happy days are here again. At least that's what the deal-makers fondly hope.

Pronouncements at the birth of the new child were decidedly optimistic in a jingoistic sort of way.

, "Our swords will henceforth point at the Liberals, not at each other," said Alliance leader Harper, while Tory leader Peter

in betrayal," said David Orchard, former Progressive Conservative Party leadership candidate.

That he's a little peeved is understandable. He was the kingmaker at the convention that chose MacKay as the new leader last May. Orchard threw his support behind MacKay after extracting an agreement from him not to pursue a merger with the Alliance.

"This is a complete and utter betrayal of our agreement, but more importantly, it's a betrayal of our party and of its history," Orchard summed up his feeling about the party merger.

Former Tory leader and prime minister Joe Clark was somewhat less incensed but also left no doubt about his views, lament- ing the death of the Progressive Conservative Party, stating that it had a hard-won reputation as a defender of Canada's diversity. I 'm still pondering that one.

MacKay predicted that .vote-~,;!,i blthinkthiswilk by~itsbwory aa~; splitting, would end thei drought..,ture~ be ainarroweriGartyJthan the of the right at the polls, PC party has be~n,', Clark said.

But wouldn't you know it, the snipers of which there has rarely been a shortage among Tories, were already shooting at the new political creature with live am- munition.

"The so-called Conservative Party of Canada, if it goes ahead, will be an illegitimate creature conceived in deception and born

But let's suppose the nay- sayers are in the minority and the merger is approved by the membership of both parties. What then?

The next election is expected in April and Paul Martin's Lib- eral juggernaut is merrily rolling along.

The new and improved party

of the right has no cohesive plat- form in place. We have not heard one policy pronouncement from either party to the marriage.

The candidate selection pro- cess will consume a lot of time. It won't be eilsy to find candi- dates for every federal riding that appeal to supporters of the two former right-wing parties whose common ground was by no means wide.

But even if all that goes well, what would compel voters to trust the new party with govern- ing the country'?

The real problem the right faces, has always faced and prob- ably will always face is that the Liberals have staked their claim on Canadian politics brilliantly, embracing or professing to em- brace most of the values most Canadians cherish, leaving very little room for the NDP on the left or whatever party is on the right.

Let's face it, the Liberals don't eleet,themselves.,~The voterS' elect them, because by and large;', they seem to like what the Liberals stand for. Don't blame me, tell the majority of the voters that they are wrong most of the time.

That's why chances of the Conservative Party of Canada winning the next election are those of a snowball in hell and slim to none in the one after that.

;ree rent? Dle, se read on TERRACE IS well known to be a community of retir- ees, many of whom own their homes and enjoy sufficient health and wealth to travel.

When they to out of town for weeks, they seek to hire a reliable young adult to move in and secure their home until their return. "Yet, so far as I can determine, the city has no ros- ter of available house sitters.

This unavailability of young adults willing to babysit a house for several weeks in return for comfortable accommodation is odd given the large population of college students, surely some of whom would welcome free rent.

The job, though laden with responsibility, is not taxing. De- pending upon the homeowner's requirements, a house sitter can be expected to bring in mail and flyers, care for plants and pets, and walk the dog.

If, in addition, the house sitter mows the lawn or shov- els snow from the walkway for the postie's safety, the

home owner will be tickled. I became aware of this unique

personnel shortage talking with customers. Older homeowners often time repair or reupholster- ing of a sofa or their favourite chair to coincide with an ex- tended absence. If their furniture is ready to return home before they are, I 'm instructed to ar- range a time suitable to lhe house sitter for delivering the furniture,

The house sitters I've met have gone to work or classes, so that I must phone them before 8 a.m., at

lunchtime, or later in the evening. Any appointment agreed upon nmst be honoured by both myself and the sitter for smooth delivery. Reliability is a big requirement for a responsible house sitter.

House sitters must also be ev- erything you'd want in a babysit- ter except skilled at CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. Trustworthy, self-reliant. Honest. Above all, they should not be snoopy. No homeowner wants hired help pry- ing into their personal belongings.

For all these reasons, home owners tend to hire by word of mouth. Ira house sitter does a sat- isfactory job for one homeowner, he or she will be recommended to friends. This means the best house sitters are eagerly sought and may not always be available.

I 'm told one homeowner, to make sure her favourite house sit- ter would be available when she wanted to leave town, went so far as to furnish a separate base- ment suite for the young lady,

Other than word of mouth, where would you look for a house

sitter to hire? I began by check- ing with travel and real estate agents. I expected both to have a ready list of potential house sitters, but no, But real estate agents do hire people to tend the yards of properties awaiting sale,

So I phoned the Happy Gang Centre, my 'through line' to seniors. I was given the names of several retirees known to hire house sitters regularly while they take bus tours to GraCe- land, ocean cruises to the Ba- hamas, or travel to Vancouver for extended medical treatment,

So far as I have learned, no one teaches even a rudimen- tarY course for house sitters, nor does anyone publish a cheek list for tenants looking to hire.

From my limited contact with house sitters, they should arm themselves, like babysit- ters with phone numbers for emergencies. Where to reach the homeowner, police, firehall, a plumber, an electrician, and a vet. And know the address of the house they are sitting,

skills in d clin Tests show students are doing worse -despite the vows of trustees

By JENNIFER LANG COAST MOUNTAINS students are-faring worse when it comes to reading comprehension, results of the latest Foundation Skills As- sessment show.

The annual assessment is the education ministry's snapshot of reading, writing and math skills. It 's given to students in Grades 4, 7 and 10 in the spring.

This year's results take on new meaning. That 's because spring 2003 marked the first time the same classes have taken the FSA again.

That means reading and math results for Grades 7 and 10 can be compared with the benchmark year• of 1999/2000 for the first time.

(The baseline year for the writ- ing component of the FSA is 2001).

Low reading scores on the 2000 FSA prompted school trustees to champion literacy as the district's number one priority.

That year, 30 per cent of the district's students in Grades 4 and 7 weren't meeting reading expec- tations.

In both cases, these classes scored worse on the 2003 FSA, with 38 per cent of Grade 7S and 35 per cent of Grade 10s tested here failing to meet reading expecta- tions this time ar- ound.

The FSA may only provide a snapshot, but the results are moni- tored at the school, district and provincial level.

Last year, district 82 pledged to increase the number of Grade I to 10 students meeting or exceed- ing expectations in literacy by five per cent by spring 2005 - based on FSA results.

The educat ion minis t ry provides a breakdown of the re-

The 2003 FSA results show students in the Coast Mountains school district scored below - in some cases, stgnificantly below - the provincial average in reading, writing, and math again this year.

A slight gain for Grade 10 stud- ents in the Coast Mountains dis- trict on reading scores is tempered by a slight drop in Grade 4 read- ing scores in the 2003 results.

The results show aboriginal students in the Coast Mountains district are lagging far behind their provincial counterparts.

The Grade 10 results show more than 60 per cent of aborigi- nal students in the district are be- low expectations in reading and math.

The FSA is only one source of data the school district is using to track how well students are doing.

struction at School District 82, is reviewing the 2003 results of the FSA, released earlier this month.

The district is using the FSA, baseline testing, class marks and test scores from schools and

teachers to estab- lish a baseline of data this year. "Because a staB-

' W h a t this year will dardized test is bring us, I think, is m e r e I y a

that m u c h more snapshot," Foster complete picture of said. "It's not a who we are and how complete picture.

It's a moment in our students are do- time." ing" Teachers are also

familiarizing stud- ents with the FSA ahead of time.

"What this year will bring us, I think, is that much more complete picture of who we are and how our students are doing."

She'll be meeting with school planning councils throughout the district.

Comprised of the principal, a teacher, a parent and a student representative, school planning councils ,are working on .develop , , ing school p lans - "growth plans" relating to student achievement.

Once those are submitted to the board, Foster will extract common themes and goals so they can be included in the district's accountability contract in Novem- ber.

"We're trying to work from the schools up to the district," she said.

Next, Foster will sit down with principals to look at what can be. done on a school level in the meantime.

The district's princtpals have already been meeting on a regular basis - thanks in part to the new four-day school week.

"My goals is to bring it all to- gether and that's going to take us some time," Foster said. "I be- lieve it's quite positive."

"I don't think people should be discouraged at all," Smallbrugge says.

"It 's a snapshot. It 's a heads up on where we should be looking."

The district is drawing up a list of "best practices" in the district so methods that are working to improve student performance can be shared With other schools and other classrooms, Smallbrugge said.

Education Minister Christy Clark said her ministry is also re- viewing the 2003 FSA results in anticipation Of going over the in- formation with school districts lat- er on m the current school year.

"Some districts have had tre- mendous successes," she told the Terrace Standard last week.

"We will be talking with school districts over the coming year to see what happens on a school by school basis."

The Mail Bag, Let's think about our

own roads first Dear Sir:

As it has been a while since we last read anything about the Bradfield Canal Road, I thought it would be a good time to once again bring it up.

Hopefully readers have had time to think about the project, which would connect the Alaskan Panhandle by road with B.C., and understand what the whole concept could mean for the north.

First of all, think about the need every community in the north has for roads being upgraded.

Money put into studies on the Bradfield Road could be better speflt looking into ways to straighten out "killer" corners on our existing highways.

Highway 37 North, an established, well marketed route to Alaska, is in appalling condition and needs to be upgraded.

Upgrade and widen existing bridges in the North. Highway 37 still has a one-lane bridge going over the Nass River, and there are many one-lane bridges on Highway 37 North.

Upgrade the Cranberry Connector Road, a project that is long overdue, and that even the Terrace city council has identified as needing improvement.

One of the most important roads for the entire northwest that needs to be built is the Stewart- Omineca Resource Road. This road would be a benefit to all northern communities and needs to be built soon.

These are only the roads and highways that I am familiar with. Take five minutes and think about ones you know of. We all know how good the government is ir saying they only have so much money to go around, so why would we put any money into building a road that leads only to an American port.

If Highway 37 North and the Cranberry Connector road were both upgraded and the Stewart-Omineca Resource Road was built, our region would see many benefits, including an increase in employment.

Stewart is not the only community that would have to deal with resources and employment leaving their community if this road is built. Prince Rupert would probably be faced with the loss of the Alaska ferry. There would be no need for an Alaskan ferry to dock in Canadian waters if there is a road connecting to an American port.

Kitimat may be the port the Kiappan coal project uses to ship coal from. That would not happen if there is a much closer port that could be used.

Our northwest ports are all operating at far below capacity. Let's get together and lobby the government to help ensure our ports remain competitive and get back to working the way they used to.

Terrace would like to be the shopping centre for people coming down this road from Wrangell, Alaska. But i f 'you think about it, they wouldhave already been travelling for at least six hours when they reach Kitwanga. What is stopping them f rom turning left and going to Prince George, a much larger centre.

Terrace Mayor Jack Talstra is quoted as saying: "If the .[ B radfield]: ~road does, go ,qheg(l, =s, qo;~ JFm. ~ oJJ ~id may need to be found to assist Stewart." ' '"

Well I would like to go on record saying that Stewart does not need any handouts, what we need and what the whole northwest needs is for us all to start working together and lobby the government to help create employment within our region for our region.

Angela Brand Danuser Mayor, District of Stewart, B.C.

oeBrike thieves strike again This is in response to Carolyn Anderson's recent

letter on bike thefts and wondering where parents are. We, too, are joining the growing number of victims

of bike theft. In the late evening of Sept. 25, 2003 thieves, with the help of bolt cutters, entered our back shed where my sons kept their Norco BMX bikes.

Both my sons purchased these with savings from a paper route and various odd jobs. I feel that our privacy has been invaded as someone had to watch where the bikes were kept and come prepared with tools to take them. These bikes were not only used for enjoyment, but as their means of transportation to and from their after school jobs.

As a parent I feel that if the bike thieves are kids, their parents are apparently oblivious to what their children are doing and ! hold them just as responsible.

My plea goes out to whoever took these bikes to return them. I hope that these thieves will realize the negative impact they have had on others. Maybe one day they will get a real job and work for their belongings instead of stealing from others.

Joanne Legros, Terrace B.C.

Road work appreciated Dear Sir:

For many years we have complained to Nechako North Coast and their predecessors about the condition of the gravel roads at Lakelse Lake. This year, Nechako, Ken's Trucking and Fisheries have worked putting culverts at each creek in preparation for blacktopping next year.

I thought that it would be a terrible mess. Not so. They did a great job widening and packing the road with a minimum of disruption to the local traffic.

There were a few of us thought the very large culverts the Fisheries specified were a bit of overkill. Wrong again. When you walk along the road and see how clean and freely the creeks are now running, it would seem they did the right thing.

To all, "well done" and much appreciated. We are all looking forward to the blacktop on Kroyer, Kirston, and North and South First Avenue and McBride Blvd, next summer. It's been a long time coming.

Bus pass pricing another cash grab Dear Sir: Terrace Peaks Gymnastic Club

I have been a transit user for a

CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD

couple of years but was never a regular enough user to make p u r c h a s i n g a monthly pass necessary.

Things changed for me this year and I found I was Usffig transit more often'- .of- ten enough to make the $26 monthly' f~e reasonable and, in fact, even a good deal.

Obviously you can see that my com- plaint is not about the price. In fact my complaint is about the fact that a monthly bus pass costs the same on the first day of the month as it does on the last day of the month. • Yes, that is correct. For example, if

you purchase a bus pass on the first of the month it will cost you $26 and will be valid for 30 or 31 days. I f you buy the same pass on the 29th day of the month, it will still cost $26 and be valid for only one or two days.

My first instinct was to complain to B.C. Transit but upon checking their web- site I came upon the following quote :

"Decisions about fares, routes and serv- ice levels are made by Terrace CAty Coun- cil, based on h~formation and planning pro- vided by the Municipal Systems Program

The Mail Bag I guess that puts the responsibility

squarely on the shoulders of Terrace city council:" ' .... . [ have noticed the demographics of

I am sure that the city will be quick to respond that "there is a certain amount of clerical overhead that must be covered some way" or that "there are not enough passes sold for this to be an issue."

I believe that for a city government to be respectful by its constituents. Even one instance of cash grabbing is unjustified.

Every day we see stories of large cash grabs in higher government. I say lets stop them at all levels of government;

Even a half price after the middle of the month scenario would be more ac- ceptable than a one price, all month sys- tem.

This is simply unjustified and unfair. of BC Transit." Ray Hallock~ Terrace, B.C.

Merger of Alliance, Tories welcomed by Skeena MP SKEENA CANADIAN AI- nected with the federal West and they were head- feder'al election. !iance MP Andy Burton says he's looking forward to a new name and a new partnership with the feder- al Progressive Conserva- tive party.

Tile new party, to be called the Conservative Pat:ty of Canada, if the

• merger is approved by Al- liance and Progressive Conser~,ative party mem- bers, will make for a

Tories before, being a sup- porter of the federal Pro- gressive Conservative par- ty for several decades.

But he joined the Re- form party, the predecessor to the Canadian Alliance, when it was put together

• by Preston Manning in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

"Reform was needed then to shock the Tories. They were ignoring the

ed in the wrong direction," Burton said.

"We needed then, as we do now, to toss those federal Liberals out," he continued.

Burton was also loosely associated with a group of Canadian Alliance MPs who left the Alliance party after becoming disen- chanted with leader Stock- well Day after the 2000

Some of those MPs did hook: up with the federal Tariffs in an informal al- lianc:e but Burton did not go quite as far.

"l,Vly position was that we needed a leadership re- view and I was suspended fron.i my caucus because of that. I returned when the review was ordered. I real- ly never left the party," he saidl,

stronger body to eventually take over the federal gov- ernment, he said.

"We need to go in unit- ed and not divided," said Burton last week. : He anticipates the Al-

liance and Progressive Conservatives party mem- bers will decide by early December ' if the merger and new name will be ap- proved. :Bur ton met with his

constituency executive two weekends ago. It gave its blessing to the union, albeit with a few reserva- tions.

"It 's important that we maintain the principles arid policies Reform, and now the Alliance, were

. built 9n, ' ' Burton added. When it comes to votes

in Skeena, a combined right-of-centre party won't make that much difference come election time.

Burton handily took Skeena in the 2000 federal election, with 12,704 votes compared to 8,656 for the Liberals and 6,227 for the NDP. The Progressive Conservative candidate collected just 957 votes.

The MP did note that not all Skeena Progressive Conservatives are in fa- vour of the merger. Ken Richardson, the president of the federal Progressive Conse~'vative party who lives in Bella Bella isn't that keen on the idea, said Burton.

"But t h a t ' s his opinion,"• said Burton. "The: time is right to do the right'thing. This is the ,~ .~ .... ,

thaa~"S~ena and B.C. It's about Canada."

"Philosophically a lot ' of usare right of centre, I 'd say "we [the Alliance and federal Tories] agree on about 80 per cent of the policies," he said.

Mammography bus to take one last trip to hospital here A UNIQUE northern ap- proach to health care will have one last hurrah before fading away.

Some time this year, a bus of women from Ste- wart and other places north of here will make its way to Terrace so they can re- ce ive mammography screening at Mills Memo- rial Hospital,

Popularly known as the Boob Bus, the trip was as much as a medical trip as a social experience as the women were able to enjoy shopping and other activi- ties while in Terrace.

The Boob Bus was to have been parked because Mills now has a new mammography screening device, meaning it could be taken on the road in a rented van.

Mammography screen- ing is considered a key to early detection of breast cancer, providing the op- portunity for treatment to begin as soon as possible.

But the inability to find experienced technologists able and willing to go on the road for a week at a time has derailed, at least for now, the plan to take the device north this year, says Lisa Kan of the B.C. Cancer Agency's screen- ing mammography pro- gram.

"We just "couldn't find anybody with tnobile ex- perience for this fall,', said Kan. "Finding a van and so on was easier to deal with than finding a tech- nologist."

"In the meantime there are women in Stewart and other places who need mammography screening so what we're going to do is organize transportation down for them and take care of the costs," she said.

As in past years, Mills Memorial will block out a time, probably a Saturday, to do the screening all at once, Kan added.

TECHNICIANS PETRA Kaster, left, and Renita Fraess were on hand in July 2002 when Mills Memorial Hospital took receipt of a new mobile mammogra- phy unit. Plans to take the unit on the road have yet to take shape. FILE PHi3TO

the northwest, she said. "Sometimes we have to

go outside of the province to find people. Just recent- ly we've had to go as far as Prince Edward Island," Kan continued.

She did say the mam- mography screening pro- gram has tentatively scheduled a trip north next March or April and has al- ready begun searching for a technologist to do the trip.

B.C. is considered one of the country's leaders in mammography services tied to the early detection of breast cancer.

Some Alaskan lakes with the highest numbers of spawning salmon had PCB concentrations up to seven times higher than lakes that salmon don't reach, he found.

Those are pollution lev- els like what would be found in Lake Superior, akin to having a waste in- cinerator operating in the wilderness.

"This is a remote, pris- tine environment, but with PCB deposition compar- able to an industrial site," Blais said.

Salmon have long been known as important trans- porters of nutrients. But re- searchers say the. findings increasingly reveal the fish move around bad as well as good chemicals.

The problem is that contaminants build up in the fish ahead of their journey home to spawn.

Companies, IWA strive to reach new contract COASTAL FOREST com- panies could vote this week on an IWA offer the union says addresses con- tentious cost control and other issues.

At issue are thousands of jobs within an industry struggling to contain costs and increase productivity.

Included in the bargain- ing is West Fraser's Skee- na Sawmills here.

The mill closed earlier this year When the compa- ny 's Kitimat Eurocan pulp mill workers went on strike because it had no place to send its chips,

The mill has yet to reo- pen.

The company has cited a glut of chips in the northwest and the labour unrest for its decision not to set a date for the reo- pening of the Terrace saw- mill.

Coastal companies and

the IWA have so far been unable to reach agreement.

IWA president Dave Haggard said the union's latest proposal will help companies control costs.

"We think that we have made a fair and balanced proposal that addresses the key issues and puts both parties' feet to the fire on contracting out and cost reductions." he said late last week,

In the meantime, IWA officials here say most workers at West Fraser's Terrace sawmill opposed going on strike when a vote was held in mid-Sep- tember,

IWA leaders had pre- viously only said the com- bined vote coast-wide had produced an 89 per cent strike mandate to back the union's bargaining position with coastal employers.

But local numbers fell

far short of that figure. A majority of workers at

West Fraser ' s sawmill here voted against strike action, IWA business agent Surinder Malhotra said.

But more unionized loggers voted for striking, he said, adding that offset the mill workers to pro- duce a nearly evenly split vote here.

"When we add the log- gers and everybody else it came to exactly around 50-50," Malhotra said.

Only about 80 of rough- ly 250 eligible workers turned out to vote, he said.

New Skeena IWA saw- mill workers didn't vote because they signed a new labour agreement with the company this spring.

That agreement will come into effect whenever New Skeena opens its mill here.

Greenville man's death nvestigated by po ice

RCMP CONTINUE to investigate the sudden death Oct, 19 of Fred Vincent Moore, 51, of Greenville in the Nass Val- ley.

Moore was found deceased at his Front St. residence at approximately 9:40 p.m. by police when they were called to his home. Police late last week said an au- topsy was done, but were not releasing the results,

Members of the RCMP's North District Major Crime Unit are assisting the Lisims/Nass Valley detachment with the

investigation, The major crime unit is based in

Prince George and its members are called upon for more serious incidents.

RCMP are saying they want to speak to anyone who may have had dealings with Moore in the hours or days prior to his death.

Those with information are asked to call the LisimslNass Valley detachment at 250-633-2222 or Crimestoppers. In Ter- race, the Crimestoppers phone number is 635-8477.

Quality of work and of life to be docs' contract focus B.C.'S DOCTORS might not be interested in more moncy when their current three-year contract with the provincial government comes up next year, says the new president of the B.C. Medical Association.

Instead, doctors will concentrate on quality o f work and quality of life is- sues, says Dr, John Turner who recently toured the province to speak with his members.

"Professional autono- my, working conditions, how much they work, ac- cess to resources and serv- ices rather than more mon- ey on fees could all be part of it," he said.

Surgeons, for instance, are increasingly becoming frustrated because of cut- backs in operating room hours, Turner added.

But Turner did say compensation for family [#actitioners could be an issue in new contract talks.

But should money not be the driving force behind next year 's negotiations, it would be a departure from years of sometimes acri- monious relations between doctors and various gov- ernments.

areas. In 2002, doctors and the

new Liberal government had to use the services of former Supreme Court jus- tice Allan McEachern to reach a master agreement which was backdated to 2001 and which concludes next year.

The current deal added $392 million in new fees, on-call payments and other benefits, pushing the total doctor compensation pack- age to more than $2 billion and increasing the average general practitioner's pay packet to well over $200,000.

"Doctors like working," said Turner. "I know it sounds a little trite, but doctors just want to go home at the end of the day and get on with their lives."

But Turner warns that quality of life and quality of work issues will domi- nate the way doctors want

University of Northern " British Columbia. the Uni- versity of Victoria and the University of British Col- umbia which will result in a medical school being constructed in Prince George.

" I f people from the north are trained in the : north, and if people go up

to practice, north to be trained, some Some of this has to do " will stay," said Turner. " - :'

with more and more wom- en becoming doctors who wish more time to raise fa- milies as well as to work.

And there's a growing lifestyle change wanted by physicians generally, said Turner.

That 's particularly the case in northern and rural areas where doctors, gen- eral practitioners as well as specialists, no longer feel comfortable working in isolation, said Turner.

He ' s predicting there will be more concentration of specialists in places such as Terrace where they can share work duties and the need to have peo- ple on duty around the clock.

"The down side, of course, is that some peo- ple may have to travel more to see a specialist,

Turner also paid tribute to the large number of South African doctors who sel tip shop in northern and isolated areas in B.C. and across Canada.

"I f it wasn't for them, there would have been real problems," said Turner.

He is worried that the issue of supplying doctors might get worse before it gets better. "You have to remember that it takes nine years before you can enjoy the benefits of a new physician," said Turner.

And even if an ade- quate supply can be reached, there are still problems in finding enough nurses, financing hospitals and increasing operating room times, Turner added.

B USINES S REVIEW

I I Seared at Sears BOOTA Uppal stands beneath what was left of his backlit sign on the west side of the Sears building on Kalum St.. An electrical problem trig- gered a fire in the sign shortly after 7:30 p.m• More than 25 firefighters from Terrace and Thornhill responded to the scene. The fire was quickly extinguished and electrical power to the sign cut. Uppal estimates the sing's replacement costs to be $3,000 but no damage was done to the building itself. SARAH A.

Mega-bucks at stake over Alcan court case

By JEFF NAGEL THE PROVINCE would have to provide Alcan with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of power if Kitimat wins its battle to force the aluminum company to build a new, much larger smelter.

That's one of the terms of the 1997 agreement that settled Alcan's claim for compensation over B.C.'s 1995 decision to cancel the Kemano Completion Pro- ject.

That deal guaranteed Alcan 20 years worth of low-cost replacement power - equivalent to the extra electricity that the scrapped hydroelectric expansion would have generated - if it builds a big new smelter,

Kitimat administrator Trafford Hall said the cost of the replacement power may be one factor on the minds of provin- cial officials in resisting Kitimat's argu- ments that the province should vigorously block power exports by Mean.

He and Kitimat mayor Rick Wozney met enterprise minister Rick Thorpe and energy minister Richard Neufeld on the issue Oct. 9.

Hall said he tried to persuade them to look at the benefits and not just the costs of such a scenario.

"If the contract was adhered to there'd be a new large smelter built," he said.

He estiniates the value of the 175 megawatts of power the province would have to provide Alcan at between $400 and $500 million.

"That would be somewhat expensive, but it wouldn't be any more expensive than that which they've sunk into Skeena Cellulose with no reward to date," Hall said.

"It would give us a shiny, new smelter which would secure the future of the re- gion for years to come," he added. "There is a huge benefit to it."

Additionally, he said, the power trans- fer would not be a subsidy but rather re- paying a debt to the company for the can- cellation of KCP.

In order to deliver the power to Alcan, Hall said, Pacific Northern Gas would likely build a gas-fired generating station between Terrace and Kitirnat.

He argues that would also secure the long-term future of PNG's natural gas pi- peline serving the region, which would be in jeopardy if the Methanex plant in Kiti- mat - PNG's biggest customer - shut down.

"There's a whole series of very large public benefits that would fall out of A1- can building a new large smelter," he said.

Hall rejects the theory that the 1997 agreement on compensation could unrav- el if Kitimat launches a court challenge to enforce the terms of Alcan's original contract limiting power sales to the vicin- ity of the smelter.

"You're not reopening a contract if you go and try to enforce the existing one," he said.

Any compensation owed to Alcan has also declined, Hall said, because the company has over the past six years been able to export power at large profits under another plank of the 1997 deal.

The deal also enshrined Alcan's much more valuable water rights, he added, noting they would go back .on the table if Alcan went after compensation again.

"It 's not a credible argument to think that Alcan would reopen the agreement," he said. "You're not going to challenge somebody for a dime when you risk losing a dollar."

The town is edging closer to launching its lawsuit over the issue - something it has held off doing for nearly three years.

The meeting in Victoria wrapped up with officials pledging to try to ilraw up a possible new route to finding a resolution, he said.

"This is really our last effort to avoid any kind of court proceedings," Hall said. "We'll have to see what they come up with and see if it holds any promise at all."

BUSINESS REVIEW

Transit bosses love ridership increase WHEN ridership on Ter- race's transit system in- creased by 28 per cent

"over the past year, B.C. Transit officials took no- tice.

Ridership jumped from 122,336 to 156,721, mak- ing it the largest year-to- year increase for a munici- pal transit system of its kind in the province.

"It was quite remark- able to see that change," B.C. Transit vice president Steve New said.

Out & About

Export experts pay visit

VARIOUS EXPERTS in the field of exporting goods and services are vis- iting Terrace to hold a seminar and to meet indi- vidually with local busi- n e s s c s .

The Nov. 3 seminar is hosted by the Terrace Ro- tary Club and the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce.

The experts, six in all, come from the Internation- al Trade Centre in Van- couver and are employed by various p.ublic sector agencies.

To book an individual appointment or to attend a luncheon that will touch briefly on all the above topics, call the chamber office at 635-2063.

A little over one year ago, the Terrace Regional Transit System introduced route changes designed to improve service and make the system more efficient.

The introduction of two new transit buses also helped raise the system's profile in the community.

"Where the real growth is is the students," B.C. Trans i t board chair Gregory Slocombe said.

He and other members of B.C. Transit's board of

directors toured Prince Ru- pert, Kitimat and Terrace last week, meeting with local transit officials.

The system is a partner- ship between B.C. Transit, the City of Terrace, The Kitimat-Stikine Regional District and Coastal Bus Lines.

The five-year operating agreement for the terrace Regional Transit System is up for renewal April 1, 2004.

A'14- The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, October 29, 2003

Aican asked for donation to help finance sportsplex SPORTSPLEX BACKERS here have asked Alcan for a substantial amount of money, perhaps as much as $1 million, to give their $4. million plan a signifi- cant boost.

"I t ' s no secret we 've approached Alcan," said Art Erasmus, head of the committee charged with finding the money to con- struct a second sheet of ice and other public-use facilities in the area bet- ween the existing arena and the aquatic centre.

"If there was a bronze, silver and gold level of sponsors.hip, there would have to be a higher one, an aluminum one," he said.

Erasmus declined to provide the exact amount of money requested from Alcan. Company officials have met with sportsplex backers and they have pro- vided the company with substantial project docu- mentation.

A substantial donation from Alcan would signifi- cantly add to the $2 mil- lion in federal and provin- cial commitments re- ceived rot the project and to the more than $200,000 in commitments and cash that has been raised local- ly.

The City of Terrace has also made a commitment to provide money, if need be and based on short-term borrowing, to move the sportsplex project along.

They 've now begun a renewed money-rais ing campaign aimed, in part, at demonstrating comntun- ity support to assist in seeking large donations from corporations such as Alcan.

The chamber of com- merce, for instance, is polling its membership asking the question, "Do you support the City of Te r race ' s initiative to build the Terrace sports- plex, and to raise the funds

for the construction of this facility?"

Chamber pres ident Sheil~ Love said last week that of more than 100 members who responded, 92 per cent were in favour of construction.

The project is viewed us one that could be cheaper to build now rath- er than later because the current economic climate

ning costs once the sports- plex is built than there are now at the old arena. Thars because of efficien- cies to be gained by com- bining operations and from more revenues from more ice time rentals.

Efforts to construct ~t second sheet of ice as well as other multi-use facili- ties have been going on in the city for more than a

and who later faced five charges has been found not criminally.responsible, due...L ~ ~ to a mental illness.

Terrence John Bird was charged with three counts of assault, one count of obstructing a police officer and another count of utter- ing death threats after in- cidents at Caledonia Sen- ior Secondary School and his home on Benner Ave. Mar. 28, 2003.

The Oct. 16 verdict was naade based on the facts of the police investigation and a report by Bird's psy- chiatrist, says provincial Crown counsel official Lee Porteous.

It means though Bird naay have committed the offences there was no int- ent to do so because of his mental state at the time.

The details of his medi- cal condition have not been released. Bird must abide by several condi- tions, including seeing a psychiatrist and taking medication.

The verdict is a binding finding and Bird can not be tried for the charges at a later date, Porteous said.

The five charges came after a series of events which began with Bird al- legedly going to Caledonia Senior Secondary School looking for his daughter.

He was described as being aggressive and agi- tated. Police first went to the school and then to Bird's home on Benner on the bench.

The remaining two charges of obstructing a police officer and assault- ing a police officer stem from a confrontation there.

Bird ran from his home down the steep embank- ment at the foot of Benner St. and was followed by police.

When he started back toward police two warning shots were fired followed by RCMP Cost. Jack ttundial firing two shots at Bird with a shotgun, inju- ring his abdomen, upper thigh and hand.

Bird spent several weeks in hospital in Prince George recovering from his injuries before the charges were laid in May.

MP does the bear SKEENA CANADIAN Al- liance MP Andy Burton has joined the kermode cavalcade.

In a statement made in the House of Commons Oct. 20, Burton urged his fellow MPs to support the bid to make the north- west's very own white bear the emblem of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

"This bear, known as M o k s g m ' o l by the Tsimshian people, is not an albino but actually a genetic white colour phase of the black bear. Found only in northwestern B.C. this animal would make a perfect n~ascot for the Vancouver/Whistler winter games," said Burton.

Speaking later, Burton described the kermode as the perfe/:t Olympic sym- bol as it would help prom- ote the northwest on the Olympic world stage.

"I 've seen a kermode several times, and not just Gimpy either," said Burton in referring to a particular- ly well known kermode which inhabited the Kalum Lake area just north of Terrace.

Gimpy has now been stuffed and has been taken on the road by the Terrace- based committee promot- ing the kermode as the' emblem for the Olympics.

I STLA THOUGHT I EV BISHOP

Spinach lessons M Y DAUGHTER has always liked

the produce section in grocery stores, part icular ly Safe- way's. (That's no shameless plug,

just a fact.)When she was a sweet, buggy- bundle of baby and she got cranky? The quick- est remedy for her woes? Bundle her up and go for groceries. Worked like a charm. Especially when she saw the tomato section.

There was something about those glowing red spheres that just made her happy. She'd flap and wave and scrunch up her whole body, then release all her muscles in a flop of com- plete ecstasy, chortling at the top of he r lungs in delight. She generated a lot of attention, my veggie-loving baby, as she screamed cheerful- ly at tomatoes, cooed at carrots and ga-gaaed at apples and oranges• It was hilarious!

My son agrees that the veggie and fruit sec- tion is wonderful (although he didn't become enamoured as early as his sister.) and has been known to belt out at the top of his lungs, "Don't forget the broccoli!,'

I 've had produce clerks and fellow custo- mers in every store in town chuckle and com-. ment on my children's "strange and unusual" begging. "Please can we get Brussels sprouts, please? Then can we get spaghetti squash? PLEEEEASE! I love spaghetti squash!" (Note: my son also begs for candy, a nag that I find less endearing• All whines are not equal!)

The other day we had another one of our vegetable adventures.

I'd gotten it into my mind that I desperately needed spinach; a craving I have often since I adore spinach. However, this is where my kids and I_differ. in~ our .veggie.tastes, .I love spinach in all forms and they think it's revolting unless it's raw or in dip, (Actually, for anyone trying to trick kids into liking vegetables, I swear that raw with dip or chopped and IN dip, is the way to do it!) so we "compromised" and deci- ded to make a spinach salad. (Which in my daughter's gibbled-Grade-5-girl speak is "very most luv-a-ful!")

Broccoli in hand, I was pondering whether to pick up cauliflower or not when Riah spot- ted the spinach bunches. "Oh there you are, dear spinach! Morn, DO NOT forget our dear spinach," she squealed and ran to the display.

A woman nearby grinned at Riah's enthusiasm. "I wish I could have a student like you in my food class!" she said, giving evi- dence that she (and probably the rest of the store as well) heard her my daughter's yell.

"Yeah, my kids love their veggies," I said stupidly, like that wasn't obvious already?

"Especially spinach salad!" said my daugh- ter with the momentarily one-track mind.

"That's so great!" the woman said to me and then to Riah, ,'It is yummy, isn't it? It's one of my favourites."

What is 'the point of my blathering, other than to show that I'm one of those annoying parents who think that everything about their oh-so wonderful children, including their eat- ing habits, is worthy of comment?

Well, the collected incidents make me ex- cited about the endless opportunities that abound in the produce section, of course, but that spins into the bigger picture of life itself.

I have a tendency to get depressed. It is my kids who pull me out my blue periods. They inadvertently, without lecture or intent, remind me that life is what you make it, how your perceive it.

Imagine being able to say "dear spinach" e n t h u s i a s t i c a l l y and meaning it sincerely? (Admittedly, she was also joking around. She's not a complete freak or anything!) Imagine being able to find so much pleasure and contentment in such a simple thing as getting to pick a new kind of veget- able or gathering up an old favourite that it makes you laugh out loud?

Imagine experiencing life itself that way; with every nuance, every "small" bit noticed, felt, truly experienced.

Imagine not overlooking the small "mundane" details in our lives. Imagine taking absolute joy in, having sincere thankfulness for, things like the inside of your warm new coat !'even feeling good against bare skin," having the remains of a chocolate Nascar left- over from Easter, having a sibling who looks so cute dressed up as a snake,.. For things like being allowed to cut up your own banana, being able to keep a quarter from a shopping buggy return, getting to watch a show... Heek, imagine even noticing such things let alone feeling abundance in your life because of theml

Thankfully, and really due to my kids con- stantly living that way:and reminding me, I don't have to imagine, And I would like to thank them, dear, dear veggie-eating them,

, I iii i ii i i h i story i

/!

Back in 1936, a Terrace judge recorded the memories of Kitselas chief Walter Wright. Nearly 70 years later, their grandsons relaunch Men of M'deek

By JENNIFER LANG IT WOULD begin with a jug of water, a drinking glass, and a dish of apples.

Then, the two men - such un- likely pa r tne r s - would get to work. One, a white man with a keen interest in Tsimshian history named Will Robinson, would roll a sheet of blank paper into his typewriter (a No. 3 Underwood).

The other, a chief named Walter Wright, would tell his story - the story of his people, the Gitselasu, the people of the can- yon.

Wright would talk for a few minutes before pausing so Robin- son could start typing what he'd just heard, faithfully recording the other man's words.

Once they worked like this for seven hours at a stretch.

Over the weeks and months, they would record many stories of the Gitselasu, their mythical ori- gins in a legendary city to the east, and how the Men of Medeek used the stronghold of their can- yon to control trade on this part of the Skeena.

Wright, who learned his peo- .... • j~le' s ~ tiistbi:i~s'lS~,?~lSaiffstaki~gly

memorizing, knew the world was changing. He feared the oral his- tory would be lost unless it was written down for future genera- tions to turn to.

The result was a book called Men of Medeek, published in 1962 by Kitimat's Northern Sentinel Press nearly 10 years after Robin- son's death.

In his will, he urged his surviv- ing family members to publish the

HISTORIC CONNECTION: Ralph Wright, left, and Barry Robin- son pose with the very' same typewriter that brought their grand- fathers together, a No. 3 Underwood. JENNIFER LANG PHOTO

rest of his manuscript, Wars of Medeek. No one had any success,

Then, his granddaughter Enid DuPuis found Robinson,s old pa- pers in a box. She showed them to her cousin, Barry Robinson, a businessman from Penhold, Alber- ta. They knew they held the his-

tory of the Kitselas people. And it was time to give it back.

Two and half years ago, Glenn Bennett, Kitselas chief councillor, got a phone call from Barry Rob- inson, hoping to locate Walter Wright's descendants. Before long, Barry was in touch with

Ralph Wright, Waiter's grandson. On Oct. 22, the two grandsons

held an emotion-filled book launch for Men of M'deek and Wars of M'deek at the Kitselas Community Hall before a rapt au- dience.

Just 500 soft cover and 50 hard cover copies of the edition have been made. Barry Robinson has given these books, a digital ver- sion of the manuscript and assort- ed files, and the copyright to the Kitselas band•

"We were an instrument, only, to bring this book back into your hands," he said at the emotion- filled event.

Freda Wright, Ralph's daugh- ter, presented Barry with a framed. black and red felt eagle - her fa- ther's crest - and a Tsimshian Tribal Council pin, one of the evening's most touching presenta- tions.

"It's all I have to give,', she said, her voice on the verge of breaking.

Kitselas education coordinator Debbie Moore said she'sgrateful she can now read Men of M'deek to her grandchildren. .... "We ' re all relatives""ficre, and we're all Connected to the history o f this book," she added,

Ralph Wright, a former chief councillor, remembers hearing his. grandfather's stories as a child.

The stories capture thousands', of years of history - and provide moral lessons that young •people can learn from.

"This history is unique. When you read the book, you'll under- stand what I mean."

Local church welcomes a new pastor By JAIME SPYKSMA

IT MAY scare the stuffing out of him at times, but preaching is just part of his job.

Joel Ringma, the Terrace Christian Reformed Church's new pastor, was only recently or- dained.

"What an awesome task that I have," Ringma says, adding he loves preaching. "Very few people have a job where they are called to reflect on the Scriptures each day of their lives in a way that applies to people's lives."

His ordination took place dur- ing the Sunday morning church service Oct. 19 with Reverend Martin Contant, formerly of Ter- race, conducting the service.

A welcome from several n~em- bers presented Pastor Ringma with symbolic gifts such as a Bible, a loaf of bread and a wine goblet, incense, and a set of cof- fee mugs. The congregation cele- brated with a potluck lunch fol- lowing the service.

This is Ringma's first chut:ch in the ministry. He graduated from Calvin Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the sPring - about the same time Terrace CRC members learned their pastor was retiring.

Ringma, 30, heard about the

Ngfi~l ~%':.~i

vacancy through long-tinge Ter- race resident, Cal Stru2fk. Not long after, he was invited to visit the church, which has a congrega- tion of 298.

Upon visiting Terrace for only the second time in his life in June, he knew that this commun- ity would be a place he and his family could fit in. "It felt right

because I knew there were certain things that the Terrace church needed that lined up with gifts that I have. It felt right because as a family it was the type of church we were looking at."

He adds, "When we came here, it actually had that feeling that this could fit for us."

He and his wife Ella moved

Terrace 75

into Terrace with their two child- ren at the end of August, and he began his work at the church in mid-September.

He and his wife are enjoying being first time homeowners. And being from the Lower Mainland, "I find the north that much more evenly paced," he says.

There isn't one main goal or focus for Ringma as he begins his ministerial career.

"I'm excited to just start my ministry," he says. "The ]'act that I got ordained on Sunday was really exciting and it's exciting because that means it's the end of the student phase of life and the beginning of more formal ministry but it doesn't have to be that formal."

Pastor Joel, as he prefers to be called, plans to be involved in the Terrace Churches Food Bank, the Terrace Ministerial Association and to enjoy being outdoors as much as possible.

He has been building relation- ships with people in his congrega- tion by making an effort to visit every member of the church.

"I'm not just called to ministry of Word by the pulpit," he says. "It's not about who I am but whom I represent."

As she waited in the foyer for the movie to begin, elder Ivy Woods said she hadn't been to the movie theatre for many ye'ars.:

'This particular show was onlysupposed to play one night only at the Tilli- cum Twin Theatres as part of the once-a-month Tor- onto Film Circuit series, sponsored here by the Ter- r a ce and District Arts Council,

Also, Branch 13 is not open on Sundays, despite a misprint that inadvertently appeared in last week's Le- gion News. But Saturday afternoons are becoming quite popular.

Nel deJong It is with pleasure that we at the Happy

Gang Center celebrate our friend, htel deJong, as Senior of the Month.

During this year, 2003, Nel remembers that it was f i~ years ago that she and her husband Jac and family of five left Holland to make their home in Canada. After arriving by ship in Nova Scotia, they travelle~'i across this continent by train to Summerland where they ,found employment. Later they moved on to

~:',~ :~ Terrace where her husband was employed .... ~ ~ !~i~i! at Frank's Dairy Farm. Not knowing the ~: ~ ~ ¢ ~ i Eng ish anfluage, Nel was encouraged to ic~ ~ : ~ attend nlg~t classes at Skeena Hiflh ~i!i i ~tt ...... School. A farm was purchased directly across from Parkside School on Eby St. and for years they raised and sold vegetables, After becoming o widow and her children had homes of their own, Nel continued to raise arid sell bedding plants for the Terrace Co.op.

Even after she sold the Farm and moved to her latest home, she has continued to be an avid gardener; her yard often displaying at least one hundred geranium plants, as well as many other varieties of plants. She proudly competed at the Thomhill Fall Fair and would be invited to act in the cal0acity of j.ud~e, of the garden produce.

Nel attendedthe Terrace Evangelical Free Church where she has given of her time and talents to be of service to olhers. For at least twenty-five years, she hosted Bible Study. grouL0s in her home. She has also been a long-time member of the Happy Gang Center and was invo.lve.d wi~ the preparation of lunches for many years.

She has been enthusiastic and competitive in both bowlingand carpet bowlin~l during former years.

She ~as donated her knitted items and willingly sold tickets in the Co'op and in the Mall to support the annual Happy Gang Bazaar and Bake Sale and each November would find her at the I~azaar assistlng as sales person as ~vell.

Nel has given much of herself to this community. We appreciate her, love her and thank her for all she has done for us.

Halloween might be a special time of year for children, but it includes adults as well. After all, adults supervise children, welcome trick-or-treaters and participate in all the necessary preparations. In fact, its up to adults to mal<e sure that children can enjoy a safeand enjoyable Halloween. The most important thing for adults to do is to not only tell children how to trick or treat safe~y, but to also let them know of the possible consequences if they do not follow these rules. Examples are a great way to help children fully, understand the potential danger. It's important that adults take the time to make sure children know how to act safely on Halloween. That way, adults will have done their job and children can have a fu~ and sate time. Adults who welcome trick or treaters also have many' responsibilities. They need to ensure that the area around their house is safe and that all gardenin.q tools, branches, etc. are moved out of harm's way. Pets should also be chained or kept ~,"~

inside. A lit jack-o-lantern (a light is safer than a candle) placed in a window or on a platform will tell children that they can safely knock on your door. But don t ask them nside - their parents have already warned them not to enter any stranger's house! Because this is such a special night, everyone must remember to be tw ce as careful on the streets. Drivers should keep speed to a minimum; after all, you never know when a little ghost will suddenly appear out of nowhere! Good communication between parents ~ ,..~%'~, , ~ and children, respectincl the rules ~ " ~ of conduct and lots and'lots of ~ d ' ~

Lines On Lines

I t 's my mushroom money rod," said Bill Burke holding out a shiny Sage for my inspection. I took it, then handed him my pole.

"How long is it?" "Twelve feet. It's a six-weight.' Sage rods are too much money considering

they are no better than the poles put out by Daiwa and Fenwick, to name just two consider- ably less expensive brands that carry equally good guarantees against breakage. That is not to say that the Sage rods are not well made. With the top quality guides perfectly wrapped (by machine, I 'm guessing) a durable metal reel seat and the highest quality cork grips, they cer-. tainly are, but paying close to a thousand dol- lars for a plastic rod seems excessive.

Bill's rod was the top of the line. Its action was something the Sage marketeers call "the European Spey." The line designation decal above the handle was 6/7. This is supposed to mean that the rod will reach its casting poten- tial when loaded with a six double taper or seven weight forward line. That's the line that Bill had on it, and although I could cast it, I ' could feel that the rod wasn't loading fully.

Sage is not the only rod manufacturer guilty of underrating rods. The House of l-lardy is notor- ious for labeling its graphite (the Brits like to call it carbon fibre) rods one or two line sizes under the line that will flex them properly. This may be a throwback to the early days of gra- phite rod technology when insecurity with the

"new material may have prompted the rod ma- l~ers to recommend hnes that couldn t possibly, stress their poles.

• So, how much stress will a graphite rod take?, TWO years ago I met a USAmerican Combat fisherman who was casting a line he'd spliced ~ together at home. He was throwing well over a 100 feet effortlessly on his 15 foot Sage nine- weight rod. His line was built of a dozen feet of 125 grain sinking line connected to a length of 16 weight floating line which was attached to a length of 14 weight floating line spliced in turn to ~ 12 weight floater.

"Graphite rods," he told me as he sent out :another 100 foot blast, "are a lot stronger than people think they are."

Bill had armed the rod with one o f Sage's disc drag loop style reels. I don' t care much for these new, salt water style soundless winches that make fighting fish easier and therefore strip the sport of one of its essential challenges, but I was intrigued by the line he had on it. It had a changeable head system, a tan coloured belly followed by a section of bright yellow level line and another section of running line coloured hot orange. Bill said it was a "Mid Spey" made by Rio, a company owned by Jim Vincent, another USAmerican Combat fisherman.

Rio lines, along with two-fisted Sage rods, breathable waders, and high-end rain coats and giant leech like flies, are essential pieces of equipment for today's steelheader. They're fine twine, with a rugged coating and a wide selec- tion of tapers.

Vincent took a leaf from the handbook of ve- teran steelheaders who discovered long ago that they could snip off the front end of a double ta- pered line, make a loop on both ends of the in- cision and, after coating them with Pliobond, make the same kind of loops on lengths of sink- ing line, or heads, thus creating an interchange- able system that would enable the angler to adapt readily to varying water flows. Building these lines was tedious.

Rio's multi-tipped lines have made the one- rous and unhealthy task of building such a line unnecessary, provided one is prepared or able to spend over a hundred and a quarter on a fly line. ; The problem with the lines is that, in all but the smallest sizes, their loops tend to catch on the rod guides - a tendency that is generally just plain irritating but could be catastrophic if it happens at the end of a struggle with a trophy fish, • Air-Flo lines have solved this problem. These British lines have smooth clear loops that whis-

,tie through guides, They come with a five year iguarantee against breaking or cracking, and .their finish is as slick as as an algae coa t ed stone.

The only drawback to the Air-Flo multi-tip is one it shares with all multi-tips: it gives the an- gler too much choice, Do I stay with the floater? D o I go to the tip that sinks at three inches a second, or is a fast sinker better?

At the end the end of the day it may be bet- ter to fish a floating line, leave some sanctuary to the fish and be unencumbered by those weighty decisions, . . . . .

Local nabs bronze at world champs By SARAH A.

Z l M M E R M A N VAL JEFFERY should be proud of the bronze medal hanging around her neck but instead she's a little disappointed.

"I think I had higher ex- pecta t ions of mysel f , maybe unreal is t ical ly ," says Jeffery of her first shot as a global competi- tion. "It was very emotion- al and overwhelming for me to be there - you feel this pressure for represent- ing your country and your community who helped support you to be there and emotional when you don' t do well because it 's over so quickly."

The local martial artist recently returned from the World Karate/Kickboxing A s s o c i a t i o n ' s ( W K A ) world championships in

Ireland when she fought VAL JEFFERY shows off the bronze medal she earned in Ireland. SARAH A. ZIMMERMAN PH0"TO her way to a bronze medal in continuous fighting.

The competition drew 2,500 competitors fighting in dozens of kickboxing and karate disciplines in a variety of divisions based on weight, age and exper,- ience. Jeffery competed in the women ' s over 35 years, under 65 kilogram division.

Participating in both point fighting and contin-

uous fighting, she found out the hard way how los- ing one ' s concentration can put an abrupt end to the competition.

With an immediate knock-out format at the tournament , one loss means athletes don't move on to any more fights and that 's exactly what hap- pened to Jeffery in the point fighting competition.

Demons want to put a scare into NHL oldtimers HOCKEY FANS are in for a treat in the not-so distant future as the Kitimat Ice Demons take on the NHL Old- timers in what promises to be a fast-paced, exciting hockey game.

With five Terrace players suiting up for the Ice De- mons this year locals will have a chance to cheer some of the hometown players on.

"I am totally looking forward to it," says Terrace right winger Troy Butler. "I played about 10 years of senior hockey and I 've never had a chance to play the Oldti- mers before."

Butler predicts the Demons just might be the under- dogs given the line-up scheduled to take to the ice.

Former hockey greats including Dale Hawerchuck, Dave" Williams, Larry Melnyk and for Edmonton Oiler Glenn Anderson will be suiting up for the game.

"'We'll have to try to beat them with speed because we'll have youth on our side. '"

Butler figures the Demons will have to play hard and fast if they're going to take the hockey heroes.

"We'll have to try to beat them with speed because we'll have youth on our side," Butler says.

The Oldtimers' Hockey Challenge comes to Kitimat's Tamitik arena Nov. 15 at 6 p.m. Tickets are available at the Terrace Standard at 3210 Clinton St. for $20. Pro- ceeds go to the Aluminum City Telethon and Terrace Firefighters local 2685.

II Oh yeah! THE TERRACE Midget reps celebrate a goal during their 7-5 victory over the Smithers Storm Oct. 25 at the Terrace arena. Goals came courtesy of Garrett Kerr and Cody Latimer who each picked up two while Chris Brown, Calen Find- lay and Sam Gill each added one to the tally. The win was retribution for the 9- 2 beating they suffered the previous night against Smithers. The Midgets take to home ice again Nov. 21-22 against Smithers. SARAH A. ZlMMERMAN PHOTO
