IWA change could spark SC! deal "There was a shakeup," said IWA

member Allan Mclntyre, who favours more cooperative talks with Veniez. "Some of the hardliners were unelec- ted. Those guys are out."

He said a motion passed Aug. 10 by the membership now directs the bargaining committee and union bosses to negotiate on the basis of Veniez's "Fresh St~irt" proposals,

The election of a new bargaining committee did stall tentative plans by the company and the IWA last week to conduct exploratory talks

Mclntyre says the Aug. 10 motion means the union will seek to negotiate improvements to the company's proposal rather than negotiating downwards from their old contract, the coast master agreement.

"The membership indicated they

By JEFF NAGEL SKEENA CELLULOSE sawmill workers here have voted in a new bargaining committee and given their union new marching orders on how to negotiate with their new owners.

Some IWA members say it's a sign grassroots members are pushing their union to be more flexible in an effort to strike a deal with SCI president Dan Veniez.

Veniez last week announced a new deadline for a new labour agreement. The old deadline was Aug. 15 and the new one is Sept. 1. He says further de- lays would mean the operations can't restart until spring.

SCI workers are being asked to accept a 20 per cent pay cut in return for profit sharing to help reduce the company's costs.

wanted to move forward quickly to get a resolution to the contract issue," he said, adding he believes the new committee will work hard to get a deal by the end of August.

Allan Chesterman, a log loader operator at the mill who sits on the IWA local 2171 executive board, says the directive s imply opens another way to approach the talks that had been blocked since May 23, when members first rejected Veniez's original proposal.

"It allows us to open all the doors by having that motion," he said.

Veniez has accused top union officials of sacrificing local workers because they fear setting a cut-ra;e pre- cedent here that could be extended to other mills.

Union members here have come under considerable local pressure to reach a deal.

Chesterman disputes Melntyre's characterization that the election has dramatically changed the bargaining committee's makeup and direction.

He said Mclntyre was one of the former committee members who wasn't re-elected this time.

ber of the executive up until the last meeting. He was one of the people making all the decisions."

Chesterman says much about the company proposal remains ambiguous.

He said there's no clear definition of which jobs at the sawmill are "core j o b s " - ones that wouldn't be subject to potential contracting out at lower wages.

"He has moved slightly on some things," chesterman noted.

Veniez has pledged to keep the prior benefits package, a l though Chesterman said it appears that's only for one year.

He has also said he'll pay skilled trades workers more than first proposed. Veniez won't change plans to bring in a maximum four-week holiday

Dialysis gets the green light THE PROVINCIAL government is putting money on the table when it comes to the long-standing request for a renal dialysis service here.

It 's now asking for engineering bids on what will exactly be needed to convert unused space on the second floor of Mills Memorial Hospital into a dialysis unit to serve the northwest. " "This is what we've been waiting for," Skeena Lib- eral MLA Roger Harris said over the weekend., "This Is going:to make a real difference in peoples' lives."

Harris said he thinks of people such as Ruth Mangnus. She has had to llve apart from her husband, Chuck, ever since he developed kidney problems one year ago. He's had to move to Prince George where the closest dialysis service is located.

The results of the engineering studies will determine the timeline for construction and then the opening of the service. So far, the estimated cost is $1.4 million, , of which approximately $1 million is to construct the facilities with the remainder going for equipment.

The service will have six patient stations, meaning up to 36 people a week can use its facilities.

Harris said the dialysis service approval is a sign that coordination of health care is working.

"This and the [mobile] mammography service are ex- amples of how health care services in the region should work and what we are trying to achieve," he said.

The service has been wanted here for years. It came close to a reality under the former NDP government before being shelved when the Liberals were elected until it was revived again late last year.

Housing prc)ject officially opened tioned the role of the former NDP government and former Skeena NDP MLA Helmut Giesbrecht in starting construction of the project.

Harris said that credit should also go to Dieter Kuntz, the former administrative head of the Terrace and Area Health Council (now merged with the Northern Health Au- thority) and former council chair Bob Kelly as having key roles to play in the project development.

Terrace mayor Jack Talstra said it was important to remember that Walter McCon- nell, after whom the project is named and who is now deceased, was a long time community volunteer.

"He was involved with Terraeeview Lodge, right next door," said Talstra.

A NEW HOUSING project was called a foretaste of things to come during its official opening here Aug. 14.

Speakers said the idea of meals and other kinds of support services at McConneli Es- tate on the bench adjacent to Terraceview Lodge will help keep people from having to go into more expensive long-term care facilities.

"This is meant to complement, not re- place independent living or residential care," said Katherine Whittred, the provincial minister of state for intermediate, long term and home care.

The provincial B.C. Housing Corporation paid for the majority of the cost - $2.2 million - and the federal government through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corpora- tion added $550,000. The land has a value of

$303,000 and was provided by the Dr. R.E.M. Lee Hospital Foundation and the Terrace Seniors Supportive Society.

B.C. Housing Corporation will also subsidize operating costs to the tune of $201,000 a year.

The land was donated by the Dr. R.E.M. Lee Hospital Foundation and the Terrace Seniors Supportive Society and carries with it a price tag of $303,000.

A variety of people, including Skeena Liberal MLA Roger Harris, noted that projects such as McConnell Estate come none to soon in places such as Terrace where the population of seniors is growing far faster than the provincial average.

"This is a great asset for the community," said Harris.

The MLA, as did other speakers, men-

School workers are still in limbo TEACHERS AND other school district workers are still waiting to hear if they'll have jobs this fall.

And many could be waiting until school actually starts and officials have a better idea of enrolments, says assistant school superintendent Rob Greenwood.

Layoff notices were issued to more than 200 teachers and 300 Canadian Union of Public Employees members this spring in order to balance the budget, despite the district's decision to close five elementary schools.

Greenwood said some of those layoffs have been re- scinded as necessary, but other employees can't be called back until the district knows how many students will return. "We will not be able to do anything much further to mid to late September," Greenwood said.

Officials expect 6,550 full time students to return; That 's 315 fewer students - or the equivalent of an elementary school - than they had on the books last fall. In recent years the district has lost about 150 students each year, a trend district officials believe could be gathering steam because of the sagging northwest economy.

RESIDENTS LOOKING for a summer fix of cotton candy and ferris wheels were upset last week when the carnival failed to roll into town.

"We 've done a look at other people's bylaws and there's some that charge more," said Miller.. "It's nothing new. This policy has been in place since 1991."

"l eiirrees roam the world By JOANNA WONG

STREAMLINED. SHINY, and retro chic, the Air- stream trailer looks like it could have popped straight out of a science fiction flick from the 1970s.

And so when more than thirty Airstreamers invaded the Thornhill Community Grounds last week, things started to look a little sur- real.

"It 's a club. We do car- avans all round the world," says Gerry Peltier, a new member of the "Wally Byam Caravan Club Inter- national."

As Peltier explains, Byam is the guy responsible for inventing the Air- streamer trailer way back in 1934.

According to the club's website, Byam's attach- ment to trailers began early - while growing up as a sheppard boy in Ore- gon, Byam lived in a small two-wheeled wagon.

Today, Byam's early love of trailers has grown into the biggest RV club in the world - complete with rallies, a magazine, a "free wheeler club" for swinging Airstream sin- gles, and 10,000 members.

According to Peltier, the club is run on a not-for- profit basis and the trips are relatively inexpensive.

"Most of the caravan- hers are older and retired," says Peltier, who works in New Orleans as an insurance adjuster. "Some of them even do it full time."

Peltier and his caravanning compadres are currently touring the northwest on a seven-week caravan trip called the "Yellow Head Trail."

The tour sees Airstrea- mars wisk through sites such as, the, inside passage ferry, K.etch~kb.;n and 'a 't6ur ' of the Kitimat Alcawplant,.,

"I t ' s ~ great;" eiithuses Peltier. "Everything is a range of stuff I like to do

LAST WEEK more than thirty Americans and their Air- stream trailers invaded the Thornhil Community Grounds. The group is part of a caravan club that sees seniors tour the world in identical trailers.

and I don't have to worry about details."

Peltier admires the dedica- tion of the club's caravan leaders.

"It 's all volunteer." he says. "And it can be a pain trying to keep all these people happy."

Not to mention the logisti- cal nightmare having 32 RVs travel simultaneously along narrow winding roads like Highway 16.

"We don't like to travel real close because it isn' t safe," says seasoned Airstreamer Ken

caravan's cooperative atmosphere that helps things go smoothly.

The closely knit caravan- hers share meals and perform a variety of volunteer jobs on a rotational basis.

"You meet a lot o f neat people - it's a great way to see the country," he says, adding that Canadians have been "super friendly."

According to Peltier, most observers greet the Airstrea- mars and their delirious on- slaught of silver with a mixture

News In Brief sc---are--?.

DEIDRE PRICE will be helping Terrace residents stay on good terms with their furry neighbours this year.

Price is the new Skeena region official for "Bear Aware" - a province-wide educational program designed to reduce bear-hurnan conflicts in residential areas. This will be the progr;un's second year running in Terrace.

Last year, n total of 47 bears were destroyed and 825 complaints were filed in Kitimat, Terrace and Prince Rupert. Price says all these bears were lured into neighbourhoods by improperly stored garbage and other attractants.

"Bear can smell garbage ;rod ripe,ring fruit I'rom miles away," Price said.

Price says the Bear Aware program aims to solve bear-human conflicts by helping people eli- minate the source of rite problem. Communities are educated about bear awareness through displays, presentations to local schools, service groups and community organizations.

In addition, the program has a door to door campaign where local volunteers bring advice directly to people in areas with bear cmlcerns.

Smash and Grab THE NORTHERN Motor Inn Cold Beer and Wine store was the victim of a speedy liquor grab last Sunday August 1 I.

Two youths are accused of smashing a window of the Thornhill business attd making off with lhree bottles of alcohol.

RCMP tracked two youths and found them car- ryiag alcohol. They were arrested without incident.

The youths have since been released from custody and are set to appear in youth court on October 15, 2(102. Damage to the store is estimated to be about $2000.

In the meantime, police are still looking for the thieves who made off with a grey vehicle protec- tive cover.

It was taken off i~ vehicle parked in a driveway in the 3200 block of Munroe Street in July. The cover featured a wolf's head with the name "wolf"' labelled, on it.

A fresh start SKEENA CELLULOSE CEO Dan Veniez's campaign for "fresh start" labour agreements to start up his company's closed mills has opened the door for a new kind of way in which the corporation should operate.

And that is for the company to appoint a northwest citizen or two on its board of directors.

The key to this rests with one of the bedrock principles of the "fresh start" plan - the surren- der of wages in return for the chance to earn the money back in the form of profit sharing.

Mr. Veniez is fixated on this principle for two reasons. One is that it will lower his costs, allowing him to better present a financing package to investors. The second is it will rid Skeena Cellulose of what Mr. Veniez calls "the culture of entitlement." Workers will no longer be able to depend on merely earning a wage. Instead, they'll be expected to participate in the efficient running of the operation in exchange for a share of the profits. It may not be worker de- mocracy, but it will put more onus on workers to act in a business-like fashion.

Mr. Veniez has even gone as far as telling his workers he'll pay for the services of an auditor of their choosing to go through his company's books to ensure they will receive their fair share.

Along the way, Mr. Veniez has conducted a masterful public relations campaign, seeking to enrol northwest political and business leaders in his "fresh start" efforts. Parallel to this, Mr. Veniez has taken extraordinary steps to speak directly to his workers. In Terrace, that resul: ted in a slap on the wrist from the Labour Rela- tions Board for seeking worker approval of a $5,000 advance against profit sharing without first presenting it to the IWA's plant committee.

So now that we've all been asked - worker and other northwest citizens alike - to hitch our wagon to Mr. Veniez's corporate train, it only makes sense to continue along in this vein.

Appointing northwest citizens on the company's boards will further cement the company's position as the engine that drives the northwest economy.

It was a suggestion Skeena Cellulose's former owners, the old NDP government, failed tO act upon. If there had been northwest involvement on the board all during this time of trial and tribulation, we might have been spared some of the grinding psychological damage that oc- curred.

Northwestern directors will be the key to the company truly being a part of the northwest. We'll have an open communications channel for two-way information flow. Mr. Veniez has nothing to lose and we all will gain. A "fresh start" works both ways.

r Jext time you're in Scotland E D I N B U R G H - It was about 9:30 a.m. I was standing on the Royal Mile on Old Town, leading up to Edinburgh Cas- tle. The sign above the door said The Scotch Whisky Her- itage Centre. Somewhere else, a sign proclaimed that with each tour you get a free sample of whisky.

I must have looked a bit undecided. Not that 1 mind a good Scotch. In the contrary, but whisky and early morning had until then been mutually exclusive ideas. I decided to wait just a bit and visit the Scotch Whisky Her i tage Centre's restaurant first.

While i sat, enjoying a coffee and scone with thick cream and jam, I overheard a young woman advising a customer on the subtle differences between various brands. I was mightily impressed with her product knowledge . . . . . . . . . :

Truth be told,4.didn' t have,,:, a clue what she was talking about, but the chap she spoke with nodded his head repeat- edly, indicating great understanding.

A few minutes later, she walked by my table, flashing a friendly smile, and I asked if she would mind answering a few questions.

She would be delighted, she said. Her name was Sarah C. Jones. She's an events assistant at the centre. Where on

I I I I

earth, 1 asked, did she obtain her detailed knowledge about Scotch whiskey.

Turns out that to get a job at the heritage centre, applicants undergo an extensive course with equally extensive whisky-tasting. What a job.

Once hired, staff attend meetings every:, Wednesday morning;, at which they :taste.,. three different whiskies and are instructed in their differences in taste, bouquet, colour etc. I know people who would kill for a job like that, not me, of course.

When I mentioned that I was a newspaperman from Ca- nada, Sarah asked if I wanted to take a complimentary tour. I would, indeed.

The Edinburgh Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre was launched in 1987, when 19 in-

dividual whisky companies jointly invested close to $5 million in the venture.

The purpose was to create a permanent exhibition featuring the history and development of Scotch whisky. The centre's mission statement is after a whisky connoisseur's heart.

"It is the mission of the Scotch Whisky Her i tage Centre to promote the enjoy- ment of Scotch Whisky by providing a world-class, com- mercially profitable visitor at- traction which will give visit- ors from all over the world an excel lent appreciat ion of Scotch Whisky in an entertaining and informative way."

I must say that I truly appreciated Scotch whisky before 1 visited the heritage centre, but after having taken the tour and tasted a wee dram at about I0 a.m., my appreciation rose by several degrees. ,, T h e Scotch Whisky, Herit-

age Centre takes its national drink seriously. To promote product knowledge among re- tailers selling Scotch whisky, the centre offers a one-day course at the end of which par- ticipants get a Certificate of Expertise in the Sales and Ser- vice of Scotch Whisky.

For about $350, you get a tour of the centre, instruction in the art of blending, malt and grain whisky production, an introduction to the history and

development of Scotch whisky, and are taught about sensory perception, comparative tasting and selling and serving.

All in all, it sounds like a very good course to me. If one of my papers is willing to foot the bill, I 'm game.

The entertaining tour which takes you in a whisky barrel, Disney-like fashion, through various displays, featuring the major milestones in the history of Scotch whisky, that goes back some 300 years, is well worth the money.

Staff, like Sarah, are mare than willing and certainly able to answer any question. By the way, did I mention what a great job she's got?

And if you want to buy a bottle of two of the precious li- quid, the centre's gift shop has a choice of more than 270 different brands in stock. For those .with expensiee, taste;.

' ,there's even a'bottler.thdt w.iil' set you back about $22;000, but you'll have to give 24 hours notice, because it's not on the shelf.

I still feel a bit guilty having had a stiff drink at 10 in the morning. Then again, at that time, it was well past noon in Moscow.

joy to come her way since chow poured into her dish that morning.

Meaning to chew my car keys, hooked on my index finger, she instead pierced half way through my finger with her needle teeth. How discriminating could I expect an eight-week-old kitten to be?

Our animal shel ter is so overpopulated with cats and kittens it's akin to visiting a Rumanian orphanage. You wish you could rescue every one but all you can d o is

VOLUNTEERING IS no longer a spontaneous response to a need since the risk of preda- tors makes RCMP background checks mandatory for almost everything.

You must first apply and submit to a fingerprint check to rule out any past history of lawbreaking. The background check makes for considerable delay as well as a $20 charge.

I 've always envied those who feel at ease volunteering to serve in hospitals or homes. I would feel like an interloper.

So when I had a chance to volunteer to walk dogs at the local dog pound, I knew I had found my niche. I have years of experience walking our own two mutts, and a flawless safety record.

No one asked me to fill out an application, questioned me as to my credentials or prefer- ences, or sent me to visit the RCMP to have my f inger t ips rolled across an ink pad.

As an introduction, I was invited into the cat room where I got to cuddle a ball of multicoloured fur that purred as though I were the greatest

brighten their day for a few minutes.

I was given the choice of six dogs to walk. One was boarding. One looked like a drug dealer's guard dog.

I led out a female golden retriever with energy reserves and a take-off modelled on a slingshot. She dragged me half a block before treating me to my first experience stooping and scooping. Following a thorough sifting of scents, she spun about, barking and biting at the leash.

The second candidate was at least shorter, a dachshund cross. He displayed equal amounts of good manners and intelligence, although I questioned his judgment when he proved eager to return to his cage. ! took that as a sign of humane treatment by pound handlers. He was scheduled to go to a new home next morning.

The third animal, an eager young Husky, was a feather on her leash. The slightest touch and she responded. Shedding handfuls, her scruffy coat be-

gged for a vigorous brushing. But by that time I had to leave.

I haven't had a chance to return as a volunteer to the animal shelter. But 1 recommend it for anyone who likes dogs, enjoys walking, and hasn't got a pooch of their own. To make up for the lack of personal at- tachment, you don't have to pay for pet food, vaccinations, or vet fees. Some dogs are im- pounded long enough to give you an almost family feeling if you appear daily to spend time exercising them.

For kids who long for a dog of their own but can' t have one, whether their home is too small, an apartment, the child is too young to be responsible for a dog's care, or a family member is allergic to dog dan- der, time spent walking a shelter dog brings happiness for a short time to both the kid and the animal.

As for kittens, how difficult is it to pet a purring kitten. Anyone can qualify for the task, even someone wheelchair bound.

Curing incompetent politicians W A T C H OUT Gordon Campbell - young script- writer and drama director Adrian Houghton is armed with parody and he knows how to use it.

Houghton is the master- mind behind "Kel loog ' s Rice Krispies," a play he penned for the young the- spians of the Terrace Little Theatre's drama days summer camp.

" I t ' s about a scientist who invents a cure for in- compe ten t pol i t ic ians ," explains Houghton, who's been working as an instructor at the TLT for the past two summers. "It gets stolen and it 's a mystery to find it."

Houghton says he got the idea for the play from the kids, who wanted to do a mystery.

The play started out making fun of Gordon Campbell, says Houghton, but then he ended up crea-

DRAMA INSTRUCTOR Adrian Houghton hams it up with acting student Amanda Kelly at the TLT camp.

ting a character called "Tuekwell Day."

"Ke l loog ' s Rice Kri- spies" runs at about about 30 minutes and was performed for an enthusiastic audience of parents and friends at the end of the July drama days session.

"I t 's a really good thing to watch your play being done and done well," he says.

After working at drama

days last summer, Hought- on caught the acting bug and joined Ca ledon ia ' s drama club.

He played a priest in a play called Amer ican Beauty.

"It was about this girl who was almost inhumanly beautiful and no man could resist her," says Houghton. "The priest tries to get her to kiss him -

there was a bit of a conflict of interest."

Houghton says his experience with the drama club allowed him to bring fresh ideas to the TLT camp this year.

At drama days, Hought- on uses various acting games to help kids ages 6- 13 get their theatrical feet wet.

"It 's a lot of games you

see in [the TV show] W h o ' s L i n e is it Anyway?" he says. "We want them to have fun [with acting]. That 's pretty much it."

Al though Hough ton works with a handful of other co-instructors, deal- ing with groups of over 25 kids can still be a challenge.

"The hardest thing is

getting everyone to listen and talk one at a time," he says.

Houghton will be starting off a degree in Biology at the University of Victor- ia next year, but hopes to stay involved in theatre.

"I like script writing," he says. "I think it 's just the fact that you put a lot of work into it and it pays off."

Working with imagination TO DEAL with the challenges of her job at the Terrace Child De- velopment Centre (C.D.C.), Pam Vanderled keeps a few tricks up her sleeve,

Or, rather, her pantleg. Vanderled rolls up the cuff on

her pants and displays her secret weapon - socks.

Her socks are covered with bright orange prints of Tigger, a popular character from Winnie the Pooh.

"If you're having a hard day

often become so distracted by the socks they forget what was bo- thering them.

This is Vanderled 's second summer working with children with special needs such as attention deficit disorder, fetal alcohol syndrome and autism.

Vanderled accompanies special needs children to local pre- schools and daycares through a special program at the centre.

She helps provide the support needed to integrate the children

perience. "After getting to know [the

children] they do such neat things," she says. "How they think is completely different."

While working with one little boy, Vanderled used various flash cards to help him understand when it was time to do different activities.

"You would never think brains work that way," she says.

As a student assistant, Van- derled helps certified instructors

Vanderled says the children a powerful and eye opening ex- tivities so far has been showing c h i l d r e n how to m a k e "volcanoes" using baking soda, vinegar and red dye.

"It was a hoot," she recalls. Vanderled says that occasion-

ally other children don't understand the special needs of the challenged children.

"They'll be running around and everyone says: 'Well why can't we do .that?"

But she says most of the time, kids are just kids.

" I t ' s really interesting when you see two kids with specials needs working together," she says. "I t 's exciting when they get exci- ted about it."

According to Vanderled, the expertences she 's had working with children can be translated into many other situations in her life.

One of the best things about

Pam Vanderled

the job has been learning from experienced child care workers.

"My discipline skills have tot- ally changed just from watching the other educators," says Van- derled, who also teaches piano and saxophone lessons.

This fall, the 19-year-old in- tends to attend Trinity Western University to get her bachelor 's degree in music.

Although Vanderled once had dreams of becoming a fashion de- signer, lately she's been thinking about being a music teacher.

She says she 'd definitely like to keep working with children in the future.

"I like kids, how they come up with things you'd never think of," says Vanderled. "Their imagination is so big."

CALEDONIA STUDENT Jen Haynes spent some time learning the ins and outs of fire fighting as she prepares for a career in emergency medicine.

Experiencing the front lines JEN HAYNES likes being in the thick of things.

That 's why riding shot- gun in one of the Terrace Fire Depar tment ' s shiny red trucks was the perfect job shadowing opportunity for the 17-year-old Cal student.

Thanks to a new career p r e p a r a t i o n p r o g r a m , Haynes had a chance to learn about the ins and outs of fire fighting for school credit.

After graduating next year, Haynes hopes to work in emergency medicine.

"The emergency room would be i n t e r e s t i n g - there'd always be action and you'd never be bored," she says.

Haynes has already job shadowed at the Mills Memorial nursing unit this summer, but the fire department let her experience the front lines first hand.

Donning a bright red jumpsuit with "Ron the firefighter" embroldered on the pocket, Haynes dived

right in and learned all about fire truck equipment, hydrants and hoses.

"[The hoses are] really heavy, especially with the water pressure ," says Haynes. "You have to be really strong."

She also accompanied the firefighters on building inspections, helping to cheek out fire exits and smoke detectors.

But the most impressive thing was the actual firefighters.

"They work hard, 10 hour shifts. They're on call a lot," says Haynes.

She admires .how the firefighters give back to the community.

"They're always really friendly and wave," she says. "And if a lot of kids are around the truck they let them play with the buttons and stuff."

While Haynes has enjoyed her time at the fire department, she's going to stick with other ambitions.

"[Medicine] just inter- ests me," she says. " l l ' s something to accomplish,"

Hangin' at the liquor store

LOCAL RESIDENT AI Lehmama was one o f those who tried to gather enough signatrtres on a petition to have a referendum on prrJportimla/ representation. Here's hix story.

By AL LEt lMANN I CALLED the local B.C. liquor store, A cautious voice agreed that I could set tip outside as long as 1 could provide evidence about tile initiative that could be faxed to head office in Vancouver.

On my kitchen table ! created a small, card- board, table-top sign sporting the words "Fre e Your Vote!" in red magic marker. 1 gathered my petition materials, sunglasses, sunhat, and a novel for the empty minutes, and headed for the liquor store.

A woman arrived from the back of the store and ghmced through my materials. "The boss said it was no problem," sbe said matter-of-factly. "I just need to fax a copy of the petition."

She indicated the entryway. "There 's a table and chair out there," she added. "Don' t get in the way," she added hopefully. "I k n o w - don't hassle the customers," I replied. "Exactly," she said.

Beside the liquor store entrance 1 assembled a TV tray and chair provided by the store. I withdrew four stick pens from my pocket, adjusted my hat and glasses to minimize the glare, and sat down.

"Wha t ' s this all about, then?" queried the first person. I explained the general concept of proportional representation and the nature of the petition.

"Sounds good to me," he asserted. He slipped the pen from my o u t s t r e t c h e d fingers, printed his name and address on the petition, and A I L e h r n a n n signed with a flourish,

Minutes later one of the store's BCGEU workers popped out and signed. "I'11 have one for you to sign later," she said.

"What about?" I asked. "Privatizing the liquor stores," she stated. A dapper gentleman in a cotton golf shirt

climbed out of his sedan 20 feet away and headed toward me.

"What 're you up to today?" he asked. I recognized him, a mutual fund and insurance salesman of long acquaintance.

"Oh, just practising being a rascal," I answered. He bent and carefully added his signature.

While he was in the store two men in their thir- ties arrived. One had lost his front teeth somehow, 'in accident which didn't prevent his smiling broadly at almost every remark. He asked what the petition had to do with the Liberals . . . . . . . . . ,.

"I hate that f----n' Chretien," he asserted loudly. the"n' l~augh~d. "You ~m'ean Ch~mpbell, '" ~ hia' ritOr~ ''~t serious partner corrected him. "Wasn ' t for him, we'd be workin'," he stated emphatically.

"Him, too," stated the first. Both signed. "Damn government closed the jail," said one.

"I used to like to go to jail. Now you can't even go to jail." He gave me his gap-toothed grin. Then, "You couldn't spare a toonie, could ya?" When I demurred, the two wandered away across the parking lot.

" I 'm impressed with the discriminating sort who are signing this petition," observed my grinning salesman friend as he passed on the way back to his car.

The afternoon passed. Signers were a mixed group - retirees, loggers from camp, an employee of a fishing guide, wives, husbands, students - even an illiterate man who insisted on trying to print his name in kindergarten-sized block letters.

Some wanted a lengthy explanation of the issue and asked intelligent questions. 'Others simply looked at my sign, took a pen, and added their names without so much as looking me in the eye. As he wrote, one added, "Everybody biiches about politics. I t ' s good to see somebody doing some-

. thing about it." Most who stopped signed, although there were

many who walked quickly by, eyes averted, unwil- ling to be drawn in by some unknown solicitation.

One skeptic looked me in the eye and asked, "How did you vote in the last election?" When ! answered NDP he looked darkly at me and expressed fervently his belief that they had been no better than the communists who had run Russia for 75 years. After further discussion he added that t h e Liberals were a lot like fascists, though. He, too, did not sign.

A First Nations man emerged from a htte-model van and questioned me closely. On hearing that under proportional representation the Liberals would not have elected as many MLAs during the last election, he bent quickly and signed. "They opposed the Nisga'a Agreement," he said gravely. He left a two-dollar donation along with his signature.

The afternoon wore on. My arms were becoming sunburned.

A large 4 X 4 rolled into the lot. A man and his wife began unloading empties from the back, Sev- eral cans dropped free and began rolling around the slanted pavement in the breeze. While he unloa- ded cases onto a shopping cart, she gathered together most of the lost cans and they headed inside togeth.

On ,.dy out each stopped to sign the petition, The~" climbed back into the truck, noticeably without any new liquor, and pulled away. I wondered how badly they had needed the money.

By four o'clock ! had had enough. A cursory inspection showed more than 50 signatures. I gathered together the petition materials, replaced the chair and TV tray and thanked the manager.

A whiff of breeze rustled my shirt, and I heard a • familiar rattle. An empty beer can was still rolling • erratically around in the breeze, up a slope of pa-

vement, then back down to rest against a storm drain,

"B.C.," 1 thought•to myself, I clirnbed: int0 my Civic and headed for the post Office to mail away the names. ' ,

Getting rid of unions might help fresh start Dear Sir:

Unions are usually re- garded as the friends of the working people. In a traditional setting the big company makes profits for their owners or share- holders, the union makes sure that decent working conditions exist and the workers get their fair share of the profits.

A smart union will con- sider the viability of the employer when posing their demands so that they don't, as the proverbial owner of the goose that laid the golden eggs, kill the goose and cut off the supply of eggs.

Our golden goose has been on its deathbed twice in the past five years. No golden eggs have appeared for a long time now, nor are they likely to if we keep feeding it the same diet that has kept it on life support.

A number of factors have brought us to our present plight. All these factors are going to have to

Sounds familiar Dear Sir:

Steve Weatherbe's Aug. 7 letter ("Proclamations are a waste of time") lifted me out of my chair and prompted a stiff (albeit heterosexual response).

Weatherbe dismisses homosexuals and gay pride advocates as immoral. Ci- ting the gay marriage issue as a tiny minority ramming its' behavior down society's throat, he gloats how "We Christians still have our transcendent, mystical, sacramental marr iages sealed by God."

"The first Christians ... won converts by living a life d is t inc t ly different from ,~nd':moj'al.lyi:sUpe~r~o.r: to those around them. Per-.. haps it is time tO live apart again."

I spent 20 years married to someone who grew into a devout, fundamental Christian and you two sound like kindred souls.

Our childrens' fairy tales and my fine art books were hidden or destroyed and "anyone attending a public school had a one-in- a-million chance of becoming a decent human being." Pages of bra and girdle ads were removed form Sears catalouges. Mi- che lange lo ' s statue of David is "pornography".

1 learned that Satan in- vented chocola te and French fries and that the planet Earth is literally 6,000 years old. Evil scientists in the days of M e t h u s e l a h w e r e responsible for genetic tampering that produced dinosaurs, marijuana and mosquitoes.

I learned on a Christian video not to listen to music by black people as their music has its roots in Voodoo. And don' t play any Freddy Mercury records backward. Any music that doesn' t extol Jesus is "Satanic and against God."

My son attended a year at the Smithers Christian (High) School but would not be allowed to return unless he learned to "keep his mouth shut." It seems that on his own time and off of school property he had the audacity to express his own belief to s c h o o l m a t e s that he thought sex before marriage was alright.

Nothing would make me happier than for all the holier-than-me judgmental Christian elitist snobs to go "live apart" again. I have many good Christian friends and acquaintances who do not judge and con- demn.

But all the ivory tower variety like Mr Weatherbe would do us all a huge favour by going off to some distant island by their perfect selves,

Jason Katz, Terrace, B.C.

CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD

The Mail Bag be addressed if we are going to have a viable operation in the northwest that will employ our people and bring us back to some degree of prosper- ity.

The log jam right now is old union agreements, employee wages being the biggest production cost component. There are national implications to unions if they cut a deal loc- ally to address our problems. Offers of a profit sharing plan are also ana- thema to unions.

This would put employees on the side of the company with a direct stake in profitability and would compromise their influence, if now the very need for unions it is far easier to let the northwest struggle than to set a pre- cedent that could come to haunt them elsewhere.

When umons are cap- able of bringing an entire region to its knees to protect outdated agreements that don't fit present cir- cumstances, it is time to take a good look at those unions and explore alter- natives.

It has come to the point where the union has become an obstacle instead of a friend to the workers

Pete Weeber

and communities of the northwest.

There are ways out of this dilemma. Perhaps it is time for union members to take control of their own lives and look beyond present unions for direction, Anything is better than the present state of decline and deadlock,

A fresh start might get us returning to some degree of stability and pro- sperity, even if the golden eggs are mediums instead of extra large.

Thorpe rejects influence jab Offended by charge Alcan is politicking on power sales

By ,JEFF NAGEL ENTERPRISE MINISTER Rick Thorpe is angrily re- jecting suggestions Alcan ts using political influence to get the Liberal government's okay to export power at the expense of smelter jobs in Kitimat.

Thorpe was reacting to comments last month by Kitimat town manager Trafford Hall at a business Luncheon here. Hall said Alean's paid lobbyist in B.C. - Patrick Kinsella - is also a top B.C. Liberal who co-chaired the party's 2001 election campaign. He's also the party's top fundraiser.

Kinsella's dual role and Alean's recent donation of $250,000 to B.C.'s 2010 Winter Olympic bid had Hall wondering whether Kitimat must also "curry favour" with Victoria.

"I absolutely take of- fence to that," Thorpe said here Friday on his way into a meeting with local B.C, Liberals. "That is an out-and-out misstatement of fact and quite frankly a destructive comment - one that I personally will not tolerate," he said• "If somebody has the courage to say that to you then I think they should have the decency and courage to say that to my face."

Asked about Alcan's poli t ical connect ions through Kinsella, Thorpe said: "Are we trying to talk here about the future of the northwest or are we just trying to cause conflict? I 'm trying to bring people together to build a spirit of cooperation and partnership."

Earlier that day, Kiti- mat mayor Rick Wozney pressed Thorpe for action to block future exports of power by Alcan He says

, - ,~ that s the only way tm ~ force the company to using;: ": its Kemano-generated power for .industrial pur- poses - creating jobs - in Kitimat.

Town officials fear Alcan will modernize its smelte~, so aluminum product!oh increases, but using much less power. That:~ould create permanent sprplus power that Alcan ~ieould export at great ptroflt.

But"such a scenario would also mean 500 to 1,000 fewer workers would be needed in the new smelter, town officials say,

Wozn~y says that would send economic shockwaves through the entire northwest. "We're going to have dead communities up here," he said.

Wozney maintains that if Victoria closed the door to future power exports, Alean will opt to build a much larger revamped smelter with close to the same number of workers as are employed today.

He had asked Victoria to determine whether Alcan's current power exports are in contravention of its 1950 agreement, That document envisions power sales by Alcan but only to promote the development of other industries "in the vicinity of the

works." "Our legal opinion is

that Alcan is in complete compliance with its obligation to the province of

British Columbia," Thorpe said Friday.

He won't release a copy of the legal opinion.

"You have agreements• that people are in full compliance with," he said. "I think it's important that you live with the legal commitments in this long- term arrangement we've had with Alcan."

Thorpe did not answer directly when asked whether the government has concluded it can't legally block power exports or whether it has chosen not to do so.

"The issue here is how do we work as a team," Thorpe said. "My sense is Alcan has been here a long time and Alcan is going to be here a long time."

"They want to continue to build a future in British Columbia."

Boil water ad 'isory lifted in Thornhill

HEALTH OFFICIALS lifted a two-monlh long boil water advisory for the upper Thornhill area last week after more than 50 consecutive water sam- pies showed no signs of contamination.

Woodland Utilities also performed an additional flushing and disinfecting of the water system under the supervision of an engineer, envnronmental health official Colin Mertz said.

By coincidence, the advisory was lifted just hours before more than 150 people met with health and government officials at an Aug. 14 meeting.

At the request of the Northern Health Authority, Woodland Utilities hired a water engineer late last month to help solve the problem.

The engineer is also trying to determine what caused the original contamination in early June and subsequent poor water quality results that prompted a second boil water advisory in July.

The engineer's Aug. 8 interim report pointed to cross contamination of the non chlorinated water system from taps or faucets inside homes and faul- ty water sampling as two possible explanations.

"We may never be able to determine what the cause was," Mertz said.

The engineer's final report is expected to contain recommendations on preventing a similar problem in the future. Possible recommendations could include increasing the number of water quality tests or even moving to a chlorinated system.

Meanwhile, the Kitimat-Stikine regional district, which already operates a water system in Thornhill, is considering taking over the Woodland Utilities system, electoral area E director Les Watmough confirmed. He said discussions between the regional district and the company have been ongoing for many years but the idea has gained renewed momentum in recent weeks.

Gas station back in action By JOANNA WONG

,IT'S BEEN 10 long and agonizing months, but Kalum St. Shell service station owner Giannino Pretto is finally back in business.

Pretto and his wife Sheila were forced to stop selling gas last November when they found contaminated soil on the property

,while installing new pumps.

The discovery put what was supposed to be a 10- day project on hold until Pretto could reach an agreement with provincial environment officials.

"We're all thrilled that it's finally coming together," said Mrs. Pretto. "It's been a long, drawn- out frustrating process."

According to Pretto's accountant John McMynn, the root of the contamination problem was a gas tank from a previous station that had been left un- monitored in the ground.

"The contamination hao not travelled so that's why

they're allowing us to do what we're doing," Mc- Mynn explained. "If it had travelled off property [Pretto] might as well have walked away."

To get approval from environment officials to reopen, Pretto dug up the contaminated soil around the area for the new tanks.

He then isolated the hole from the rest of the site by installing a plastic liner and put clean fill around the tanks.

"What we have is a land of purity in a sea of contamination," MeMynn said.

Pretto had initially hoped that Shell would help him cover the exorbi- tant cost o f t rea t inf fand" removing the soil, but the company maintained it wasn't their responsibility.

"I've got to pay for it. It's bad luck," Pretto said.

He says the cost of cleaning up the site will be at least $ 2 5 0 , 0 0 0 - down from original estimates of $700,000.

"It's a significant finan-

Jobless rate falls two points NORTHWEST unemployment dropped by more than two percentage points in July.

Stats Canada says the jobless rate for this region dipped to 12.9 per cent from 15 per cent in June.

Although there's no obvious source of the extra 1,700 jobs in the north coast/Nechako region, in- creased seasonal summer and tourism jobs some- times boost summer employment levels.

Unemployment remains four points higher than the 8.9 per cent rate a year ago, prior to the shutdown of Skeena Cellulose.

Stats indicate B.C. gained 16,000 jobs in July, but those numbers were primarily in the urban south. In the logging and wood sector, 9,000 jobs have disappeared since this time last year.

Government spending cuts and the softwood lumber dispute is expected to hold back B.C.'s economy in the short to mid-term, according to the Statistics Canada report. Govern- ment tax cuts will help sti- mulate the economy, but on balance the government sector will be a drag on growth, the report says.

Terrace Economic De- velopment Authority exeo- utlve director Brian Baker said the local retail sector appears fairly stable despite the difficult economy. "It's not the best of times," Baker satd. "But the future will be a lot brighter in days to come."

GIANNINO PRETTO expects to be pumping gas at his Kalum St, gas station by the end of the month after a lengthy delay for environmental cleanup.

cial burden," said Mrs. Pretto. "It isn't going to be easy - there's not a lot of money to be made in gas pumping."

"It's one of those things where you think is it all

worth it?" she continued. "But if you don't persevere then you've got nothing."

While waiting for the station to reopen, the Pre- ttos have made ends meet by selling groceries and

washing cars. In the meantime, they had to lay off seven employees.

Mr. Pretto hopes he'll be able to hire all his former staff back and be open by the end of the month.

In the end, they managed to collect enough signatures in nine ridings, including her home riding of Powell River-Sunshine Coast, Nelson-Creston, Kelowna Lake Country and six Vancouver Island ridings.

Carr needed to collect the signatures of 10 per cent of the voters in all 79 provincial ridings - more than 212,000 voters in all.

Instead, she and her canvassers signed up almost 98,000 voters - about 46 per cent of the required number of registered voters.

Here in Skeena, just 103 registered voters signed the Free Your Vote petition by the Aug. 12 deadline, according to the campaign's website.

Canvassers needed to sign up 1,723 registered voters here to meet the 10 per cent threshold.

That's 6 per cent of the required number of signatures here.

The campaign found greater success in neigh- bouring ridings, signing up 22 p..er cent of the required signatures in the North Coast riding, and 352 sig- natu~res,: or" 21 per cent of the required ~number in Bulkley Valley-Stikine.

A12- The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, August.21,2002

RCMP officer has resigned after his appeals failed THE RCMP constable found guilty of disgraceful conduct surrounding a 1999 employment insurance investigation has resigned from the force.

Jason MacDonald's Aug. 14 resignation follows an unsuccessful appeal of an original order to resign or be dismissed made by an RCMP adjudication board last year.

The RCMP commissioner's office has also agreed with the appeal's findings.

MacDonald was suspended with pay in January 2000 following an internal investigation into the 1999 employment insurance investigation.

During his original 2001 hearing, MacDonald admitted he had phoned a friend at Greig Ave. Auto Repair on June 10, 1999, telling him to "expect a visit from a friend."

Later that day, employment insurance investigator Vince Hesleafeld went to the garage with an RCMP officer with the intention of conducting a records search to further an investigation into whether or not a person was working there at the same time as he was collecting employment insurance.

That person, Bill Bobyk, is a friend of MacDonald's. Heslenfeld later found out about the phone call and

complained to the RCMP detachment, sparking an investigation which resulted in MacDonald's suspension and hearing.

MacDonald used previous disciplinary decisions re- sulting in more lenient sanctions and character references to argue that his transgression should not result in his dismissal.

Philippe Rabot, who conducted the appeal, disagreed with the argument.

"The very nature of the appellant's misconduct makes it unthinkable that he should be permitted to continue as a member of the force, in the absence of a legitimate

explanation for his actions," found Rabot, "This form of misconduct amounts to a corrupt prac-

tice. It is far more serious than an error of judgment because it establishes that the appellant cannot be trusted to uphold the law at all times as well as to support the efforts of his colleagues within the force ..... "

Robot also considered another portion of MacDo- nald's appeal - the role of a second RCMP officer.

The original adjudication board heard that Corporal Rod Faith had phoned MacDonald to tell him of Heslen- fold's phmned visit to the auto repair shop the day it was to occur. MacDonald then made his phone call.

Faith was also suspended and investigated but was returned to duty with no further action.

MacDonald had argued that given Faith's return to duty, he should be afforded the same opportunity.

"There is no relevance to the fact that Cpl Faith was not disciplined for his decision to alert the appellant to Mr. Heslenfeld's plan to search the business records of Greig Avenue Auto," said Robot.

"The appeal record is unclear as to what purpose Cpl.

Faith had in mind when he decided to provide that information to the appellant but, in any event, Cpl. Faith is not the one who communicated with Mr. Bobyk."

The RCMP disciplinary system calls for the commissioner's office to review the results of appeals.

In this circumstance, the commissioner ' s office agreed with the results of the appeal.

MacDonald can, if he wishes, file an application to the Federal Court of Appeal for a judicial review.

Neither he nor his lawyer were returning phone calls last week.

MacDonald was suspended with pay from Jan. 2000 until his resignation last week.

A member of the RCMP since 1996, his time on suspension rivalled the time he was on active duty.

F'etiti o n b attle : ne d" tws criticisl n .. i :'Www.terraceslandard.com THE MATTER of Jason MacDonald's future as an RCMP officer was more than an internal affair.

While the fate of the suspended constable's future created two camps within the RCMP detachment itself, it also involved letters and pro and con petitions from local residents.

Phillippe Robot, the man who conducted the appeal of the resignation order given MacDonald, said 19 letters from citizens and RCMP officers urging the force's commissioner to overturn the order were received.

They were accomPanied by a petition of more than 400 names from residents containing the same plea.

The RCMP opposed the attempt to introduce the letters and petition, Robot said.

"However, should the Commissioner decide to admit the new material, the [RCMP's] counsel would like to beg given the opportunity to introduce another petition, signed by over 600 residents of Terrace, in which they state their agreement with the board's decision."

Rabot turned down MacDonald's request to submit the letters and support petition, saying they don't consti- tute evidence.

"The RCMP disciplinary process is not a popularity contest. Members do not get to retain their employment with the organization merely because they are well liked by their colleagues and by members of the community in which they serve," he wrote.

Rabot was also bothered by the very nature of the petitions.

"I am particularly disturbed by the practice of gathering signatures on petitions in an attempt to influence decision-makers in what has been designed as a quasi-judicial process," he continued.

Conservation office doors closed to public LOCAL RESIDENTS will get that long distance feel. ing if they wish to speak with or see a conservation officer here.

All calls are now being sent through a Victoria- based call centre and it will either dispatch officers or make appointments for office visits.

The decision to close off the offices follows a budget-trimming core review of the service.

"We think this is the most efficient way to man- age their services and time," chief provincial conservation officer Mark Hayden said.

"We want to maximize the time they spend in the field and minimize the time they spend in the office."

Office time is meant to deal with specific appointments or to prepare paper-

work for cases and not to handle public inquiries, Hayden added.

Ironically, the conservation office here is located in the the province's Access Centre.

It 's designed to have a large open common area surrounded by counters providing easy access to a variety of provincial government services. One o f . those was the conservation officer service.

Also shut off from the public are other provincial environmental officials.

As it is, conservation officers have already trim- med their outdoor re- sponses to wildlife situations where there is real or potential harm to humans.

Hayden said that even if people could call their local conservation office, there'd be a good chance the officer or officers would be out in the field.

TV ads smacked HEALTH CARE unions are angry at the $435,000 being spent by the provincial Liberal government on TV ads about health care.

Both the Hospital Em- ployees' Union and the B.C. Nurses' Union say the money should have been spent instead on medical procedures.

The ads began running last week and have another two weeks to run. They don't contain speci- fics, but are meant to as- sure people the provincial government is doing something to improve health care and do direct viewers to a website. And they go against a promise made by Premier Gordon Campbell that tax money wouldn't be spent on promoting the government.

"No amount of advertising will convince British Columbians that they have a plan to improve health care for patients a n d seniors," said Chris All- nutt, the business manager for the Hospital Employ- ees' Union.

B.C. Nurses' Union official Jean Smith said the ads are misleading.

Health services minister Colin Hansen said the money comes for a public relations budget and not from his ministry, "But I'll be the first to acknowledge it is the taxpayers ' money," he added.

The website listed in the T V ads generated 27,000 hits in less than a day of their first airing, said Hansen,

No rush to have vote on multiplex approval, says Terrace mayor MAYOR JACI~ TALSTRA says talkof a question by possible referendum to approve construc- Terrace vo- tion of a multiplex here is premature, ters might

If there is a vote on the project, he then be inva- says it won't happen this fall when voters Ikl. go to the polls to elect a new city council.

"If there's a referendum, it won't be in November;" he sad. "It just becomes po, liticized and I don't think it 's a good idea,"

Talstra also said a quick vote wouldn't allow for time to find other sources of money to further reduce the hit to local taxpayers.

The issue has been rekindled since the city was told in June it will get a federal- provincial grant to cover up to $2 million worth of the multiplex.

It gives new hope to locals who have for years been pushing for a second sheet of ice here, but comes at a time of high economic uncertainty and trepidation for local taxpayers.

City officials have been trying to determine whether the 1999 referendum on the multiplex " i n which city voters approved but rural voters rejected borrowing up to $7.6 million - gives the city authority to borrow its share.

With $2 million coming from senior governments, the project's cost is cut to $5.6 million. That 's around what the city was going to have to pay, with the regional district taxpayers contributing the rest.

City chief administrative officer Ron Poole said he hasn't got a clear answer on whether the 1999 referendum vote on the issue is still valid.

Municipal affairs ministry officials indicate the length of time that has elapsed is not the issue, he said.

The problem, Poole said, is that the referendum question asked city voters if they supported borrowing money to build the multiplex "with the participation of the regional district."

If the city proceeds with the project n6w without the participation of rural taxpayers, the 55 per cent approval of the

"We may have to get a l e g a l opinion," he said. To proceed without one, Poole said, could leave the city vul- nerable to a court challenge by

Jack Talstra m u I t i p I e x o p p o n e n t s

that might quash the city's ability to levy taxes for the project.

Talstra says there's no rush, The $2 million federal-provincial grant

doesn't have to be used until 2006, he noted.

That allows plenty of time to explore other sources of money.

He said one option is a renewed look at private-public partnerships.

Under that model a private developer could build and perhaps run the multiplex and the city would either contribute to operating costs or subsidize the purchase of ice time on behalf of local users.

The city did examine that possibility before.

It rejected it then on the basis the city would lose too much control over the facilities. Talstra also says the city didn't like the Alberta-based proponent 's track record with other projects.

But Talstra said it may be time to re- visit that, noting there have been successful private-public partnerships elsewhere in B.C.

The design approved for the 1999 referendum included a second sheet of ice, double gymnasium, meeting rooms and other facilities.

Two police officers no w have new duties

TERRACE S RCMP de- "1 think it'll be a great tachment recently named two members to special positions.

Constable Jack Hundial took on the duties o f First Nations Policing liaison officer as of Aug. 8 and Constable Natasha Stultz will take on community policing and crime prevention duties.

Constable Hundial is responsible for acting as a liaison between aboriginal reserves in the Terrace area and the police force.

The position has been empty for the last six months since Constable Ben Smith was moved from that position to fill an empty spot on a regular watch, says detachment Staff Sgt. Tom Forster.

He says the detachment is now in a position where a regular watch member can move back into the dedicated First Nat ions policing position.

" ~ e have three reserves in our area and it makes sense to enhance the service we provide to them by having a liaison person there," said Forster.

Money for the position comes from both the federal and provincial government. In return the RCMP member dedicated to that position must spend 80 per cent of his or her time on First Nations related issues, Forster said.

Forster said the positions allows the RCMP to create stronger community relations with aboriginal people.

Constable Hundial says he has specific goals he hopes to achieve in taking on the new role.

He says he plans to increase First Nations involvement in the duties of front line policing, active- ly recruit at least four

BLACK SMOKE pours out of a minivan on Hwy16 !ir.efighters blocked off the highw'ay. 1h erewere no east of the Hazelton turn off Aug, 16 as police and injuries reported from the blaze AL ERNST PHOTO

Minivan catches on fire TRAFFIC WAS backed up for several hours on Hwyl 6 approximately 13km east of the Hazeiton turnoff after a minivan caught on fire.

Driver Jonathon Halvor- son of Prince George first reported he hit a deer. His 1992 Dodge Caravan caugnt on fire after the collision.

Halvorson, who is in a wheelchair, managed to get out of the van and suffered no injuries as a result of the collision or the subsequent fire.

RCMP, firefighters and ambulance a t tendants were on the scene.

Halvorson, a student at the College of New Cale- donia in Prince George, lost the contents of his Van.

There was no immedi- ate report on what hap- pened to the deer.

.July was sunny but cool THOSE SUNNY July days were accompanied by Coo- ler temperatures than normal, reports Environment Canada.

"It was a month of averages except for being cooler than normal by 1.2 degrees, which may not sound like much but is definitely significant in the wea the r scheme of things," says Bill Miller who tracks statistics from his Whitehorse base.

"With only one stretch of five days of mid-twen- ties to higher temperatures, there sure wasn't much of a heat wave and with overnight lows staying pretty high, there was no frost," he added. T h e r e was only 10.1

hours less of bright sunshine than normal for the month.

The hottest it got on a July day was 29.9 degrees, far less than the record high of 35.6 degrees in 1971.

The coldest it got was 4.9 degrees, warmer than the record 3.3 degrees in 1955.

Rainfall was 48.8mm, far less than the maximum July amount of 141.7ram recorded in July 1970.

Overall, northwestern B.C. had the greatest de- viation in temperatures for the province for the month of July.

INSIDE COMMUNITY EVENTS B2 0 M M U N I T

MOST RECENTLY home to the Action Coalition of Terrace George Little's house is part of a plan to welcome tourists arriving by rail from Prince Rupert.

Heritage home could become tourist hotspot A LOCAL group has its eye on a heritage building to act as a train station and centrepiece for downtown.

Brian Baker of the Terrace Economic Development Authority says the now-vacant home of city founder George Little has great promise.

Baker and others are behind a plan to move the home f rom its Hall St. location to alongside the CN tracks someplace near downtown.

Once renovated and restored, the distinctive heritage home could act as the VIA passenger train service stop with retail spaces inside and possibly offices, Baker said. . . . . . That home is probably seven years younger than what Terrace is and it was built by the founder. Its his- torical value is immense," he said. • Baker added city officials have toured the building and have said it is a sound structure.

A handful of locations have potential as the home's new location, including the old Terrace Co-op department store site to the Grand Trunk Pathway.

"It could act as a centre for other, smaller retail stores in a turn of the century motif," Baker said.

While the project has gained momentum from recent efforts to include Terrace as a day trip for cruise ship passengers stopping in Prince Rupert, Baker said its greater promise rests in having the building become a

focal point for tourism here. "The concept of what we'd like to do is create a Cow Bay of Terrace," Baker continued. I t 's ironic that Prince Ru- pert 's tourist-friendly Cow Bay development - located beside the Atlin terminal docking facility - is popula- ted by businesses owned by Terrace merchants. Baker noted Terrace's current VIA station is a small building located between a bulk storage plant and the former CN station behind the Skeena Hotel.

B r i a n B a k e r It 's a bit of a distance from the town and tourism offi-

cials and operators here don't regard it as an idea wel- coming spot for train passengers.

Baker has had some preliminary contact with VIA officials who have told him the idea sounds attractive as long as the cost to the federal crown corporation is minimal,

Moving and restoring the George Little building will be expensive, Baker conceded.

But he hopes some of the expenses - as much as $200,000 - can be covered off through in-kind donations.

And there's also the possibility of a grant from a federal heritage agency.

Joining with Baker in the quest are local tourism officials, people from the city, federal Human Resources Development Canada officials and people from 16-37 Community Futures.

Baker also hopes to draw in CN and wants greater participation from VIA Rail.

"The fact is, George Little gave a big lot of land to

"We don't want to leave it empty, a beautiful house like that."

the GTP for a station here as opposed to Kitsumkalum," said Baker in referring to Little's efforts to secure Ter- race as a viable location.

The GTP, or Grand Trunk Pacific, was the forerunner to CN and VIA was created by combining the passengers services of CN and CP.

Little's house ~s now owned by Ksan House Society, which used it as a transition house and later the emergency shelter, but it 's been empty for some time.

Its last occupant was the Action Coalition of Terrace, a group that formed late last year to protest provincial budget cuts.

Ksan's executive director, Carol Sabo, spurred the thinking of Baker and others by first offering it to the city of Terrace some months ago.

LOCAL BARK carver Harold Braam has just finished his 1000th piece, which is as tall as a person. Braam says he's been carving work. A myriad of expressive faces burst out of the energetic cottonwood bark for over 20 years. JOANNA WONG PHOTO

Fantastic faces No, he's not the guy who carves the faces on Ferry Island. He's Harold Braam - a prolific local bark carver who's just completed his 1000th work,

By JOANNA WONG BARK CARVER Harold Braam says he doesn't look for inspiration - it finds him.

The Terrace born and raised Braam has been carving faces in pieces of bark for more 20 years.

At last count he 'd carved 1,000 - arid he says not a single one looks the same.

"I make a character to suit the wood," he explains. "The face is in there - I just have to find it."

Braam's been working with wood ever since he can remember.

"I always had a pocket knife as a kid," he says. "I was always making small pieces of wood out of big pieces of wood."

He figures creativity must be in his family's blood.

Braam's father, Casey, is well known in town for old time pen and ink drawings, and one of his sons has even begun carving.

"He reminds me of me when I started," Braam says. "We spend time together this way."

Braam first started carving ser-

iously in the '80s, and began selling work at local Christmas craft fairs and at the Red Raven Gall- ery.

He insists his inspiration didn't come from Rick Goyette, the art- ist responsible for carving the faces that hide in the forest on Ferry Island.

takes his wife, children and dog out to log jams on the Skeena to help him load up bark on his packboard. --.

And while carving may tech- nically only be Braam's hobby, he 's rarely without a piece of wood in his hand.

"Carving is my diversion from

"1 make a character to suit the wood. The face is in there - I just have to find it."

"I enjoy his carving. It 's really unique," Braam says. "But I wish I had a dollar for every time someone asked me, 'Are you the guy who carves the faces on Ferry Island?' There's a lot of other up and coming carvers that need to be recognized too."

Braam initially chose to use the bark from cottonwood trees as his main material because of the richness of the grain and the un- iqueness of the texture.

Collecting the bark has even become a family event. Braam

TV. Instead of watching the idiot box you sit on a park bench, you meet people and it becomes kind of neat."

"TV is a waste of a life," he says. " I 'm not a sit still kind of guy."

Braam estimates thai so far his carvings have been taken home to at least 25 different countries.

The ones he doesn't sell he gives away as gifts at weddings or at other special occasions to family and friends.

Braam's 1000th carving is his

biggest and most ambitious project to date.

It 's been carved into a piece of cottonwood wood the size of a person, with dozens of faces burst- ing expressively from the bark. Braam has even carved female faces into the piece, something he generally avoids.

"To make a face look feminine is very difficult," explains Braam. "It 's more natural for a snarley old man to make a snarley old man."

So far, Braam has no major plans for his masterpiece, but hopes to have it put on display somewhere prominent.

In the meantime, there 's a stack of cottonwood in Braam's workshop just waiting to come alive.

"What kind of mood I 'm in is the kind of face I carve. If I come here in a bad mood I carve a mis- erable snarly old guy. If I 'm all whistling and happy I carve a smiling and boisterous guy," he says.

"I try to make every face as unique as you and I."

Dance group is headed to world festival

By JOANNA WONG FOR KEANE Tait-Stewart, i t 's music and movement that keeps his heritage alive.

For the past five years, the 23-year-old has been the driving, force behind the Terrace Nisga'a dancers, a group that aims to help urban Nisga'a retain their traditions.

"When you remain idle, or sit and wait, your traditions and culture will begin to fade and be forgotten," Tait-Stewart explains. "We definitely do not want this to happen with the Nisga'a people who live off the reserve."

At last count, Gitlaxdax Sayt K'ilim Goothl Nisga'a had more than 120 members, with dancers ranging in age from two to 80.

"We include everyone," he says, adding that many members are married to other nations such as Haisla, Ukrainian or Carrier who dance with the group as well. "We're kind of like a support group because we live away from the rest of our family in the Nass."

The members are gearing up to perform at the First Annual International Aboriginal Fes- tival in Vancouver Aug. 30-31 and Sept. 1,

"We've been perfecting our program," Tait- Stewart says. "We're all pretty tired, but we're willing to be that tired so we can go."

The dedicated group has been practicing more than seven hours a week to put together an impressive mix of soulful singing, hypnotic

urban activities such as waterslides and the PNE. Normally, a trip like this would be out of reach for a number of the dancers because of the travel costs.

Fortunately, the group has received a lot of help from the community. Final fundraisers include a potluck and a big pep rally at the arena banquet room Aug. 24.

Festival, a weekend of live music presen- l ted by the Elks and Royal Purple. f In the audience at Har-Lee's Place [ were many groups that included grandpar-

musicians, the Pinchbeck Family; the magical brother and sister fiddlers Amy and Andy; the refreshing new country ta-

mental guitar performance. As always, the Terrace Elks and Royal

Purple, who produce Riverside, needed a legion of volunteers to make the weekend a success. They included families such as those of festival committee members Lawrence and Jean Baker, who brought out a son, daughter and a granddaughter to the event.

In the end, everyone became one big happy family when the festival's popular house band, Dizzy Strings, brought everyone together for the traditional closing, which finished when everyone there joined hands in a grant circle as the song,

Scouts camped out this summer, too. One of the troops even went on a five- day canoe trip. Ventures and Rovers logged similar experiences.

The Rovers also took up the mantle of leadership duties, with some of the

Tubed the Finale

K ick to shore[" I yell to Karen as she desperately struggles to grab the dog by her collar and pull her onto the apron of her belly boat. Paws continues to circle just out of reach which is just as well since the front of a float tube is far too small to accommodate a forty-five pound

Thornhill Retriever. Karen kicks frantically, making steady

progress. Pawsome steers t'or the closest bit of shoreline. After five anxious minutes she is able to put her paws on the bottom and drag herself over to the weeds.

I 'm closer to Karen, "We gotta follow the shore so she can follow us on land," I call out.

This easily doubles the distance to Fat Boy Bay, the end of Natadesleen Lake full of the most and the fattest trout.

I can't help thinking of the return trip. If the wind increases, we may be forced to go ashore, shoulder the tubular boats, and make our way

,through the merciless, marshy, shoreline, l 'm sure Karen hasn't considered that eventuality. I decide not to burden her with it.

I pull in and free myself from the belly boat, a task becoming more difficult. Moments later the dog greets me, apparently fully recovered from her harrowing swim, if the stick in her mouth and her wagging tail are any indication.

Karen joins us, disembarks and we lunch. "Not far now," I remark, climbing back into the tube.

I move slowly and steadily until wind and water conspire to hold me fast ~vhere the ir[?e.'i" feeds the lake. I put my feet down onto a gravel spit of river borne sediment and stumble out of the current to the small island at the river mouth, where I wait for Karen and instruct her to do the same.

The river current forks like a serpent 's tongue. One fork extends out into the lake on the right, the other goes left back in the direction from which we came. We take the left arm to get to the bay.

As I 'm swept away, I realize that the current is deceptively strong. I kick hard to free myself from it. Karen whips by and is carried far away, unaware of the problem.

We are at the far end of the lake. The wind is stronger than when we set out and may blow all night. This and the dog's inability to make the swim, makes paddling up the lake impossible. We must get back across the river in our tubes and follow the shoreline again. But the harder I look at it, the more difficult crossing the river appears.

As Karen makes her was back, I study the situation. When she arrives I tell her the plan: "We push out into the river and kick hard, and try to make it across into the current on the other side. This will take us to the far bank. If we can't make it, we will try to get our feet on the gravel bar then walk to where we can push out into the far current. If that doesn't work, we will try to make the island. If we do we can walk across it to the gravel bar. And, if we can't do that, well...we're back where we started."

Karen nods. I go through the sequence in my mind and come to the conclusion that getting stuck in the tractor current is a very strong possibility, especially for Karen with her shorter legs. I look upstream tbr sweepers.

"We need to go upstream." I walk a hundred yards. Karen follows. As she prepares for the launch, I set out and am hauled downstream. I lean to the side and kick so hard my legs ache, and break free of the malevolent current on river left at the last moment.

I look up at Karen on the far bank and wave her upstream. For a tense moment she doesn't appear to understand, then she picks up her boat and does as I 've directed. Soon she shoots downstream toward me.

"Kick!" I yell. ')You're doing fine. You'll make it." I try to sound convincing even though I 'm not at all convinced she can make it.

"I can't kick any harder!" Panic creeps into her voice.

"Grab on!" I make my way as far out as I dare and hold my rod out, reel first.

As she sweeps past, she does. I pull and a wave of relief washes over me.

The trip back is slow, but pleasant. "No far is too far if you got enough time," Finlay used to say, and we had enough time.

That night, over a beer, I tell Andy, the park contractor, of our exploits.

"That's the same place - the same current - where three guys dumped their canoe last year," he says.

"They OK?" I ask. "No, two of them drowned," he says.

Arm wrestlers pumped at provincials By SARAH A.

Z I M M E R M A N TWO LOCAL men recently returned from the B.C. Arm Wrestling Associa- t ion's provincial championships and they are pumped about the results.

Terrace's Frank Nuyens

The local man competed in a whopping six different ca tegor ies and picked up three third place finishes - a l l despite being a parapalegic.

Keith Koenig, president of the B.C. Arm Wrestling Association says Heinricks

took part in the provincials is an inspiration to all the for the,.first,,.time, in-. 1.1 ...... athletes . w h o competed a y e a r ~ ' i ~ i ~ i q a g ~ , t o p i c k tihe tournament. up three top-three finishes.

Nuyens secured a first place win in the 198 pound amateur division

He placed second in the left handed 198 pound pro division and second in the 198 pound right handed amateur division.

The wins came easily for the local man who says he d idn ' t even bother training for the event.

"It 's just natural for me I guess, I don't even work out to tell you the truth," he says laughing.

And Te r r ace ' s most talked about arm wrestler AI Heinricks also did his home town proud at the competitive Kelowna tournament.

"Alan is a tremendous athlete considering his situation in life," Koenig said.

"He 's just been at the sport the past couple years and he's doing extremely well."

Heinricks picked up third place finishes in the 198 pound right arm masters division (one weight class above his own) the 176 pound middle weight class and the 198 pound pro division.

"I went in six categor- ies and that hasn' t been done before," Heinricks said. "They couldn't believe it."

The two men also qualify to be on Team B.C.

which will be travelling to North Bay, ON for the Ca- nadian Arm Wrestling Fe- deration's national championships Sept. 2.

Nuyens said he won't be going but Heinricks is eager to test his skills at the Canadians.

In order to move on to

the world championships athletes must pick up a first place standing at the Canadians but Heinricks says he's up for the challenge.

In order to get there the local man is looking for donations of air miles to fly him and his personal

aid across the country and that ' s something Keith Koenig hopes falls in to place.

"He ' s a great athlete and a great ambassador of the sport," Koenig said. " I 'd love to have him as a part of Team BC - he's a great inspiration."

dOE MANDUR is headed for the B.C. Seniors G~imes, The swim star has won over 300 medals and holds a Canadian record for the 800m freestyle, •

B.C. senior games

Steady strokes drive swim star

By JOANNA WONG JOE MANDUR may have won over 300 medals for swimming in the past 20 years, but he's not ready to take it easy yet.

After all, it takes dedi- cation to hold on to a Ca- nadian record, especially for as long as 10 years.

"The only way you can win is if you practice and work," says Mandur, who holds the record for the 800 metre freestyle in his age category (65-69).

"I started swimming when I was young and then picked it up when I was 40," explains Mandur, a Hungarian immigrant who moved to Terrace in 1957.

"Before that my family was growing, my kids were growing, and there was no pool in town," he says.

But when T e r r a c e ' s pool was built in 1967, Mandur dived right b a c k into the sport.

Since then he's competed 'and taken top finishes

finds himself competing against familiar faces.

"Most people I 've already swum against. We all meet and it 's a nice get together," he says.

"[The wins] go back and forth. That way you can't relax,"

When Mandur hits the pool for his regular bi- weekly practice, he'll do at least I00 laps - in an hour. Before big competi- tions, he'll train four times a week.

This August 28-31 Mandur and over a hundred other athletic Terrace seniors will be heading off to Prince George to take on the best in the province at the B.C. Senior Games.

"I go to have a good time," says Mandur, who will compete in a variety of swimming events.

"If I come first, second, third - it doesn ' t bother me. That 's the name of the game.

Mandur says he owes at the Canadian Masters his success to his "coach )' Championships,: the" BC - his wif~ Thereza . . . . . . . . . . Masters Championships " S h e f e e d s me and and the BC Senior Games.

Mandur says he often f • gives me energy,!! he smiles. "It 's TLC." : .

B o c c i b o n a n za 11)l'l'lIllSrrace Cr ime

By , J O A N N A WONG SEASONED B.C. senior games athlete and gold- medal winning cribbage player Jim Mackenzie is always looking for a new challenge.

That's why three years ago, Mackenzie p u t his cards away and tried his hand at Bocci, the world's most-played spor t :a f te r s o c c e r .

"Hopefully we can get in third spot," says Mack- enzie, who wil l take on the best Bocci players in the province at the games August 28-31.

Mackenzie likens the game to curling or lawn bowling. The goal of the 45 minute game is to get as close to a fixed target as possible.

"It 's a lot of fun," he says. "You meet a lot of people and the camarader- ie is great."

of the best Bocci players at the senior games are Italian and French immi- grants who have grown up playing the sport.

But chal lenge, of course, is why Mackenzie started playing Bocci in the first place.

"I like playing good tough competition," he says. "It gives me a chance to learn more."
