From Afghanistan with tales of war By DUSTIN QUEZADA 4

PRIVATE G~~iG=Nu!!=is-grateful to be home safely after completing his first tour of duty in what has proven to be Canada’s most dangerous mission since the Korean War.

Hull spent close to six months working in Afghanistan as an infantrynian with Edmonton-based 1st Battalion Prin- cess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, where he lost friends and endured close calls on his own life.

Now that he’s home, he’s trying his best to take it easy.

Hull says his various training was hard and thorough but limited in its ability to prepare infantrymen for everything. .

Such as differing climates, for in- stake. At the Edmonton garrison, Hull says he learned to dig trenches when the ground was frozen rock solid.

Afghanistan is no Edmonton, especially in the summer.

“It’s like hell on Earth,” said Hull, recalling a day he spent in the Afghan mountains with 60-plus pounds on his back while temperatures neared 70 C. ‘‘I didn’t think it got that hot on Earth.”

The ‘fit looking Hull says most days are boring, spent watching for threats to the forward operating bases, or military outposts away from the Kandahar air

He says despite the increasingly dangerous mission in the central Asian country, he was eager to get there and start doing the job.

“Let’s get there and get it over with,” said Hull of his thoughts en route to the mission.

“Scared was not necessarily the word, but nervous? Absolutely.” Hull added.

Hull’s training consisted of 10 weeks in Quebec, followed by eight weeks of soldier qualification and a further 10 weeks of infantry qualification in Wain- wright, Alta. Before a mission, an additional two months of field exercises are completed.

“After the first mor- tar lands, you don’t hear them anymore,” he said. “As long as we’re not hit,

But that early good fortune wouldn’t last and the ghastly realities of war sunk in for the infantryman.

On March 29, Hull would lose the first of two of his good friends when Pte. Robert Costall of Edmonton, a machine- gunner, was killed in a firefight with in- surgents north of Kandahar.

The city stands to gain monetarily from the pro-‘ posed development - it would receive 10 per cent of the net profits which are directed to the provincial government.

BCLC officials say the average slot machine gen- erates approximately $4,400 per year in revenues for municipalities. \

If there were a 100 slot machines, that would add up to $440,000 per year going into city coffers.

But Talstra said the money is just one of many factors to weigh, adding potential revenues stemming from the failed casino proposal would have been significantly higher.

Tahltan woman defies court order DRILLING EQUIPMENT 1 hired by a mining company is working on its mineral claims just off of Hwy37 North near Iskut after one local woman was arrested Sept. 9 at a blockade leading to the location.

Lillian Moyer, 67, is due in court in Terrace Oct. 10 for defying a court

’1 order granted bcMetals to have the blockade lifted that was preventing equipment from gaining access to the Ealue Lake Road area.

Moyer’s arrest was apparently sym- bolic in nature to back the Assertions of a Tahltan group called the Klabona Keepers that the equipment would cause environmental damage by cross- ing a fish-bearing stream called Coyote Creek.

The Klabona Keepers are a group of Tahltan out to stop industrial development in and around the Klappan area, describing it as a key environmental and cultural area for Tahltan and other

native groups. bcMetals filed for the injunction

Aug. 23 after a blockade prevented their equipment from getting through.

The same also happened in mid- June when the company tried to cross Coyote Creek but the company did not then apply for an injunction>\

Before Moyer’s arrest, a leading B.C. native leader was asked to medi- ate between the Klabona Keepers and the RCMP.

Ed John, an official with the First Nations Summit, was charged with determining how best the RCMP could enforce the order as well as providing a way for the Klabona Keepers to represent their position.

His appearance was based on a protocol signed last year between the RCMP ’and native groups that calls for all parties to avoid as many problems as possible when facing crisis situations. John spent several days in the

area before leaving. bcMetals has already set out suffi-

cient reserves - apd has the provincial and federal environmental pennits - for a copper and gold .?line it calls Red Chris and the new work is intended to increase the known ore reserves, says company president Ian Smith.

He’s dismissing claims that Coyote Creek has a history of bearing fish.

‘“There have been beaver dams for some time. One broke and the fish came down,” said Smith. “In reality that spot is a ford and has been used as a cross- ing for quite some time.”

Quite a few people have been using the ford and a tote road going up to the area where bcMetals has claims, Smith added. People belonging to the Klabona Keepers and others also said there was an oil spill from equipment going across the creek after Moyer was arrested.

This season, Nelson has been talking about Eskay-type rocks which again paints a picture because of the reference to Eskay Creek, a gold mining area north of here.

“We were chasing a belt of rocks all the way south from Eskay Creek. I can’t say they are the same as Es- kay, but they are of the same age as the Eskay package,” said Nelson.

News In Brief if

Cities form coalition TERRACE CITY OFFIClALS hosted government representatives from the Queen Charlotte Islands to Bums Lake and North to Stewlut Sept. 8 in the first meeting of the Northwest Municipal Association.

The group was developed as a sub group to the larger North Central Municipal Association and is expected to join forces on issues concerning the northwest.

,“The northeast formed a sub branch and they deal with issues around oil and gas and cows and that sort of thing and we thought it would be appropriate to do that in the northwest,” says Terrace Mayor Jack Talstra, adding that municipalities working together will create a stronger region.

At the top of the agenda were discussions about how the whol,c region might benefit from thc port devclop- mcnt in Prince Rupcrt.

The group brought in Shaun, Stevenson, thc Prince Rupcrt Port Authority’s business devclopnicnr dirrctor to speak about the the How of rail traffic once the poi1 is operational next fall.

Despite rumours that trains could be travelling from Prince George lo Prince Rupert as frequently as every 18 minutes, Stevenson says that’s absolutely false, adding the first phase calls for just two trains per day.

And he also addressed concerns that items would not be received at the port via truck. While the port won’t have a truck gate - an industry name for an entry similar to a feny dock with several entries for trucks - it will have a method in place to receive items shipped by truck.

Talstra is happy with the first meeting which raised other issues such as contaminated property, indust$al tax caps and the idea of fair share - should northwest- em communities get royalties stemming from forestry related activities.

The group expect to meet twice a year.

Cullen stands firm on a gun registry position

SKEENA-BULKLEY Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen says he syands by his view that the gun registry needs to be scrapped in the wake of the homfic shooting at Dawson College one week ago which left the gunman and one woman dead.

“It’s hard for me to fathom how a registry would have stopped a lunatic like this,” Cullen said. “We just have to stop these guns getting into ?e hands of people like this.”

He agrees security needs to be tightened at the bor- der in an effort to prevent automatic weapons from being smuggled in. ’

“I don’t think ther should be any of these types of weapons in this country,” he says, with the exception of police or the armed forces.

The Dawson College shooter, Kimveer Gill, had at least one semi-automatic weapon and Cullen says guns like that have no place in Canada.

“These things are meant for a specific.purpose and that?s-killing peopie,” he said. “I have, a lot of,friends who hunt’and I’ve sjiolieK2 j p n club$ WEb &ee%at we don’t need these guns in this country.”

School days THEYVE BEEN visible on Terrace and area roads for several years now. A white passenger van marked "Kitselas Head Start" and a little yel- low school bus marked "Kennode Head Start,"

Each day they carry pre-school( native children ' > to programs designed to prepare them for enter-

ing school.' It's the start o f what governments. educators

and parents hope is the path to correct what has been going on for far too long - native students generally don't do as well in school as others.

t Once those children are in' kindergarten they go for a full day. Others go for half a day. And as they,move up the grades? there are a series of other programs designed to keep native students from dropping out. to improve their overall performance and, ultimately. to have them graduate.

All that and more is noodoubt behind the cau- tionary words of school district chair Lome Gow- en as the school board contemplates a major shift in education in Terrace.

Right now. southside Kiti K'Shan Primary and Cassie Hall Elementary carry both English and French immersion classes.

On the table again is a proposal to convert Kiti K' Shan to all-French immersion from kindergarten to Grade 7. The idea is that French immersion will flourish in a stand-alone, magnet-type facil-

Cassie Hall would then be an all-English school. But because the large majority of French immersion students are non-native and because of the demographics of its catchment area. Cassie Hall would become a magnet-type school of its own as the majority of students would be native.

As Ms. Gowen points out. this would be a wholesale changing of the social. cultural and racial mix. She fears it might result in a "have" school and one that is "have not" in any number of areas.

A full-on consideration of this proposal won't come until the end of this year - if at all - when enrolment numbers determine if a change is phys- ically possible.

But the debate needs to start now and Ms. Gow- -en is correct in<saying a lot of thought must be

Schools are the first - and arguably - last level- ler of society. They need to be a place where there is a core set of values. of history. of how thngs work and of what is needed in order to grow indi- vidually and with others.

For that to happen. schools need to be a place where students from all backgrounds gather. They cannot be a place where a move. as well-inten- tioned and rational as it is. to benefit one stream of students in one program may adkrersely affect other students.

Visa entrqnts need to be honest CANADA IS known to have one of the best immigration modelsin the world because of its openness and fairness when dealing with applicants from abroad. Is the system working or does it need overhauling?

The reports of fraudulent marriages have created red flags. and Canadians are asking for tighter regulations.

Here's a typical scenario: .A Canadian goes abroad and gets married and when their future partner arrives on Canadiai soil the marriage dissolves.

The issue of enforcement is difficult because the issue of trust is placed in the hands of people who are building a future together. \!hen one partner turns love into opporrunity it creates a mess.

There is a heat? burden placed on the sponsor if things don't ivork out as planned.

Speaking with a fen- dis- enchanted people ivho have lived through this unfortunate circumstance. supporting the person up to three years is an unjust policy that needs government reviewing.

Xbbotsford LIP Ed Fast said. "tve had approximately SOO.OO0 immigration applications in process at the time of the 2005 election. At the same time. approximately 35.OOO illegal residents disappeared into the u.oodwork."

"When you combine this with the problem of 'marriages

"Based on the behavior of a few, we seem to have developed a national policy to apply against the many," said Hawes. He also says he's received no requests for reference letters from Caucasian residents.

"It appears that Canadian Consulates in other parts of the world do not see the same risks and screening is some- how much less stringent. It is difficult to conclude that the current policy is based upon anything but racial prejudice?" said Hawes.

Morris aims to scrub these energy-wasting restrictive covenants from Ontario land titles. saving homeowners the bother and expense of filing individual civil suits against existing and defunct builders and land development companies for the right to string clothesline in their own backyard.

Her motion asked the province to quickly proclaim its Energy Conservation Leader- ship Act 2006 into law. The act pernits the province to remove barriers to energy conservation and to address restrictions deemed to be in conflict with energy consenla- tion aims.

Morris is asking that clotheslines be named a technology in the act. With clotheslines identified as a technology. Ontario could then review all land titles for restrictive covenants forbidding clotheslines, identify the covenants. over- ride and nullify them in the interests of conserving energy.

having an increasingly difficult time finding licenced daycare spaces for children. SARAH A. ZIMMERMAN PHOTO

Lengthy waiting lists plague parents looking for day care spaces.

A special report by Sarah A. Zimmerman

raumatizing. That’s how a Terrace mother de-

scribes her experience sea,rching for a T daycare provider for her twin 19-month- old girls.

Annette Krause is just one of a growing number of people raising the alarm on what is becoming a childcare crisis in Terrace.

The mothef of three was shocked at how few licensed childcare spaces there are in Terrace and was blown away when she discovered how few of those daycares have room for new children to

“It was traumatizing,” Krause says. “I was in tears when I finally found somebody and I was happy with her - it was a total relief.”

Nobody knows how few spaces there are available in Terrace better than the people at the Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR) office at the Family Place.

The program keeps a list of licensed childcare providers in Terrace and distributes information to parents, but this fall the news they were giving parents looking for daycare wasn’t optimistic.

“Parents are frustrated because they can’t find care,” says Gayle Holtom, a coordinator for CCRR.

“A lot of people - yes - are at their wits’ end when you tell them there is no space for them. We’ll give them the names that we have even though the centre is full, because there could be changes, but generally every place is full.”

And that’s exactly what Krause says she experienced. Her advice to parents: don’t wait until the last minute to find a daycare provider.

Krause started looking for a daycare for her daughters at the beginning of August. She had had her daughters on a waiting list at the Northwest Community College’s daycare for some time and admits she didn’t have a backup plan if the spaces didn’t open up before school started.

Three weeks before classes were to begin, she starred searching for an alternative - the spaces she’d been banking on didn’t open up.

After three weeks of frantic searching, con- vinced she would not be able to attend classes at the college if no care was found, Krause landed two spots in a daycare for both her girls.

In the weeks that she was searching for spaces, Krause was in panic mode.

“I really thought I was going to get in at the

, - 1 : : I ’ i -

college daycare because‘l’d been on the waiting list for quite some time,” she says, adding having a licensed care provider was critical.

Skeena MLA Robin Austin says the childcare shortage puts parents in a situation where they’ll settle for arrangements that are not ideal.

“I think there is a lot of informal daycare happening,” Austin says.

“Situations where people are leaving their children with a friendly neighbour down the street or a relative and that’s not necessarily the best thing for their child. It could be that that child is sitting in front of a television all day long.”

Prior to his 2005 election, Austin worked as a social worker and with the Kalum Horseshoe Community School Society, a group that works within area schools and develops programs for school aged children.

He believes children who lack daycare experiences, which promote early childhood education, are not as well prepared for school when they get to be that age.

“I certainly noticed that incoming kids coming into kindergarten were not ready to learn at the kindergarten level because they haven’t had a lot early childhood education experiences,” he says, adding those early experiences are critical for developing social skills and learning strategies to help children adapt easier to school settings.

Kim Paulson has run a licensed daycare out of her home in Terrace for the past five years. She agrees the space shortage has become more dire in recent years.

,:‘There was way more care out there when 1 started,” Paulgon says. “A lot of other daycare providers have left, they aren’t doing it anymore.’’

At least one daycare in Terrace shut down this year because its operator moved away, putting added pressure on the remaining daycares, which already have waiting lists.

Paulson gets between three and five calls from parents looking for full-time childcare spots each week. This is one of the busiest times of the year because of the resumption of school classes, but she gets calls looking for spaces year-round.

And parents are willing to take just about anything they can get to’ensure their children are cared for.

“They are just stressed right out, there is just no daycare, everywhere they call is all full so they are just stressing,” says Paulson.

‘

.

“There’s people even willin; to separate their kids and that’s kind of a sad thing,” says Paulson, adding that in her experience siblings thrive when they’re placed togefher. I

For Annette Krause, separating her twin girls was out of the question, but she understands why some parents would resort to that.

“My children will always have each other. they are going in together, they are soulmates togcthcr and I would never, ever separate thcm.” she said.

“I would nevcr sacrilicc thcm bcing togcthcr.” Other parents are choosing to enroll children

in several differcnt daycarcs, taking spaccs whcrc and when they are available.

That means placing children in several new environments, which many early childcare educators say can be stressful.

Children, who already have a difficult time adjusting to new situations, people, places and daycare rules, are now having to adjust to several new places.

It also makes those early morning drop-offs more difficult and time consuming when multiple children are placed in numerous facilities.

Licensed family childcare providers are regu- lated by the provincial government. Providers have strict caps on how many children they may care for and that limit is further divided by age.

No facility run by just one adult may have more than seven children. Of those children, only three may be under the age of three, one may be under the age of 12 months and five children may be under the age of five.

Providers may also accept temporary placements with the approval of the existing parents but the total number of children may not excecd seven.

Paulson says it would be beneficial to allow home-based care providers to take on more of the older children.

“They should change the age a bit and allow people to take eight kids as long as thcy are a bit older,” Paulson says.

And though the restrictions make finding care difficult, both Paulson and Krausc agree thc rules are in place a for good reason -the well being of the children.

“You still want quality carc for your children and when therc are too many kids, what type of care are you actually getting?’ she says.

Critics / I slam fed child care benefit I

THREE DAYS of childcare at $35 per day or four packages of diapers at $25 each.

That’s what parents can expect to glean from the federal government’s new Universal Child Care Benefit cheques which amount to $100 per child under the age of six.

The benefits were rolled out in July by the federal Conservatives. They are receiving mixed reviews from parents and child care advocates and public officials.

“If you are paying $30 a day for child care and you get $100 then you can buy three and third days of care,” says Coco Shau, a coordinator for the Skeena Child Care Resource and Referral office in Terrace.

“Does that help? Sure. If that is taxed then you can buy less.”

The benefit is taxabie and Skeena- Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen charges that taxing $100 a month is “offensive”, given the long waiting lists and high costs of child care.

“It doesn’t even come close to meeting the needs,” says Cullen, who has spoken to constituznts who say there is a dire shortage of licensed daycare spaces in the northwest and he’s hearing the same reports from MPs across the country.

“People are finding months and sometimes years for waiting lists,” Cullen says, adding the severity of the shortage varies from community to community.

Parents receiving the money say it’s welcome, but it does not address the greater problem of providing day care spaces.

Annette Krause, a mother of twin 19-month-old girls, says the money would barely help cover the monthly cost of gasoline to drive between her home at Lakelse Lake and the girls’ daycare in Terrace, never mind sub- sidizing the cost of childcare.

Krause is a student at Northwest i Community College and her children go to a licensed daycare nearby.

“I think it helps, but I don’t think it’s enough,” says the mother of three.

“I think Stephen Harper should be in our situation and try it himself and see how far it gets him.”

Shau says she hasn’t head a lot of feedback on the new program from parents but worries the money can’t replace federal funding to the province that has been cut.

“I think that money is welcome but I don’t think parents are really aware of the kind of funding that it is replacing,” Shau says.

The federal government cut $455 million in federal funding from its Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, leaving childcare providers and advocates throughout the province wondering what will replace that money.

Linda Reid, the new minister of the beleaguered children and fami-

’ lies ministry, released a letter last week in an attempt to reassure par-

ents that though the federal money has been cut off, the B.C. government ‘:will endeavour to maintain all other child care services to the end of the current school year.”

“Moving forward, the province will continue to look at innovative ways to ensure British Columbia families have a range of quality, flexible and inclusive child care options to accommodate the loss of federal funding.”

Some parents don’t realize they are eligible for the new federal program.

If a‘person is already receiving the Canada Child Tax Benefit, the cheque should be sent out automati- cally.

If not, parents of children under the age of six must enroll to receive the payment by filling out a Canada Child Tax Benefit application available on the Canada Revenue Agency Web page at : www.cra-arc.gc.ca or by calling 1-800-959-2221.

CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD

The’Mail Bag The rest of the story

Dear Sir: 1 was more that a little disappointcd by the article ”Ter-

race in dentist deficit” that appeared in the Sept. 6 issue of The Terrcrce Stmdard.

I had personally spokcn at length with writer Sarah Artis and given her some great information ~ h i c h , hiid i t been included i n the nrticlc. would h:ivc put an entirely diffcrcnt view 011 the siibjcct.

First SoI11c house keeping. ‘rhcrc arc ilct Liiilly SCWII

I discussed with Siirilh iIt Ici1gth dmit s~iiic of the dif- licultics faced by gradtliitiiig tlciitists i l l id the ch;ilIciigcs that OW 1iiccts iittr;lcting thc111 IO the nortli\vcst.

But I illso told her :thotlt dl t l i ~ dentists tlii\t iirc moving IO Tcrracc - otic this yciir illit1 ilnothcr is coniing in spring of 2007.

The rcally great piirt of the story is tliilt the dentists coming 10 Terrace arc: not coming hcrc bcciVtlsc c)f ilny “li - nancial incentives” or bccause they can “be husicr” hcrc than elsewhere.

They arc coming because thcy werc riiiscd i n ‘I’crracc and are looking forward lo coming Iiomc.

A strategy which is proving lo be successful i n attract- ing graduating dcntists is “ madc i n Terracc” , The local educational system descrves a great deal of thc credit for preparing students and cncouraging thcm to inkc up post- secondary education.

The local dental community givcs mi annuiil scholar- ship and mentors area young people who demonstratc a i 1 interest and have the aptitude to succeed in thc profession of dcntistry. These efforts arc showing sonic promising results.

Dr. Giebette Coopcr DMD, a graduate of our local Caledonia high school in 1996, has returned to Terrace and her husband Michael Cooper, also ii graduate of our local Caledonia high school, is completing his dental studies and will be joining her i n practice in thc spring of 2007. They are coming back to Tcrnicc to practicc dcntistry and raise their family.

Readers may remcnibcr Vincent Drouin, fcaturcd in The Terrace Stnndai-d in 2005 a s a local student studying dentistry who intcnds to retimi to Terracc upon graduation to practice dentistry (2009).

So once again, Sar‘ah, thcrc are indeed dentists moving Lo Terrace or better yct thcrc arc dentists who iirc coming home. That really should have been the bcst part of the itory. c

It was morally right Dear Sir:

When Giannino I’rctto inlbrmcd me of thc results of his meeting with the Shell reps that they would buy him

, q t out, niy first reaction was to be happy. At least he and Sheila would be able to clear *ihetrt:

selves from such an oppressive debt; 4causcd, by circbm- stances long before his purchase of the property.

My second reflection was that i t is certainly a shame that business acunien has receded so far that large mul- tinational companies believe and act as though they are lmnipotent and that their decision is the right decision.

There are several persons in the community that re- nember quite clearly the preexistent conditions of this lite prior to redevelopment by Shell. These were condi- ions which at that time were considered quite normal and IS is the case with many other circumstances, is not ac- :eptable now.

In my opinion, Shell was fully cognizant of these con- litions and was attempting to offload the financial clean- ‘P.

Thanks to many caring individuals in the community vho became involved in promoting the circumstances to he media, especially the local prcss, Shell was forced into iccepting their responsibility once the findings of the tests roved that the contamination was of an age prior to the ’retto’s purchase of the property.

Giannino and Sheila are very thankful that the people If Terrace stood up to them, that their future was com- detely buried were it not for the community response.

For many years it has been vcry convenient to shop for pecialty items in their unique store; to be able to buy gas t a convenient location with such a fricndly, pcrsonable tmosphere.

bear Sir: In August I went shopping to buy somc new work

hoes. Like any other proud Terracitc, I decided to visit local store. l l

After five to 10 minutes of browsing, I fcll in love with pricey pair. Now, I’m not the type to rush off and buy 200 shoes spur of the moment, so 1 took a minute to think bout it. I even joked about being in thc doghousc for this ne.

Instead of offering any customer service, the owner of le shop said to the saleslady, “Tell her to go to Walmart. ell her she is a typical Canadian who can’t afford to shop ere. Walmart is where she belongs!”

You can’t imagine the rage I felt. My heart goes out the local business owners who may feel threatened by .

lese larger chains, but why chase away any support that lmes your way?

I won’t name the business that embarrassed me to no id, I have a feeling you may already be known.

And if you happen to read this, remember that it is Ca- dian locals that for some reason keep you in business, id to mind your tongue in the future.

Fly problem exaggerated ,Dear Sir:

I just want to say there are more flies in last two years than usual. It has nothing to do with the egg farm. We are far from the egg farm. We live up Kalum, toward Rosswood.

I’go to the egg farm for eggs and have not seen flies there. My point is there arejust a lot of flies. They were worse than the hornets and there were lots of hornets and flies again this year.

We don’t have grass yet, but people have to make sure not to compost, and bag their grass. There are fewer mos- quitoes than flies.

iment. City planner David Block

says the sites aren’t neces- rtafily a problem for the city

‘but he concedes having con- ’taminated sites remain vacant is not the ideal.

“Ideally we’d like to see remediation happen so a

,new commercial use can be< ”eveloped on the site,” he says. “Alternatively the current owners, if they would do some level of landscaping and make them more attractive that would definitely ,be welcome.” ; Including the Kalum St. Shell station, which is being bought by Shell Canada :after environmental testing ;proved contamination ex- ,isted there prior to its sale i n 1982 to local owner Gi- @nine Pretto, other con- ?aminated former gas station sites in Terrace include: :*Former Esso station on

Lakelse Ave. where the now closed 7-11 convenience store was Former Chevron station on

1 Kenney St. and Highway .:.” 16. ’a Former Co-op gas station : on the site the city recently

When gas station sites are contaminated owners may ‘choose to clean up the soil through expensive excavation but it can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars just‘ to clean up the soil, not to mention further costs of ,developing the site after- ,ward. : “That, would be why sites like the Esso property downtown remain vacant because the cost to remediate ex- ceeds greatly the value of ,the property on the market,” Block says. - Many companies or independent owners simply choose to let the site sit h d go through a process called natural attenuation, says Block. That process in- volves natural biodegration of the hydrocarbons in the soil with little human inter- ference.

Sometimes companies help this process along by increasing the flow of oxy- gen to the>soil through a series of pipes and fans.

That type of remedial work has been ongoing at the former Co-op site.

“That’s very close to getting the final clean state,” Block says, adding though the city owns the property Esso claimed responsibility for the contamination and remediation process several years ago.

The vacant lots are one of many items city officials are considering as they prepare a preliminary concept for the city’s new downtown plan.

The city has been solicit- ing ideas from business owners and the general public for the past several months preparing a report on how to spruce up the downtown core, increasing its vibrancy and encouraging more foot traffic. Part of that plan in- volves looking at options for dealing with unkempt vacant lots and the increasing number of contaminated gas station properties leaves few options for the city in ternis of making those properties more attractive.

The Kitimat-Summit Lake Looping (KSL) Project is a proposal to construct, own and operate new natural gas facilities that w<ould increase the capacity of the existing Pacific North Ltd. (PNG) transmission system between Kitimat, B.C. and Summit Lake, B.C. The facilities will transport natural gas fro LNG regasification terminal near Ki pipeline system at Summit Lake, near Prince George.

PNG has recently entered into an agreement with Galveston LNG Inc. (the parent company of Kitimat LNG) to form Pacific Trail Pipelines Limited Partnership (PTP) to facilitate development of the KSL Project.

Hawkair to change “aircraft HAWKAIR HAS been told it soon needs to have different aircraft in place to continue its service.

“We’ve been strongly encouraged to do so,” Hawkair CEO Rod Hayward said last week of an appearance before Mr. Justice Grant Burn- yeat, one of a series since the regional air car- rier went into bankruptcy protection nearly a year ago.

The Sept. 7 appearance follows a request made to the court by Maritime-based 1MP Group that Hawkair return the two Dash 8- 100s i t bought following months of unsuccessful iittelnpts to renegotiate a reduced payment schedule.

Hawkair went into bankruptcy protection last October citing high operating costs wtiich included pilying too much rtioneg for what it thought tlie IMP aircraft were wortli. The coni- pany has si;!ce cut costs ;ind ;ilthough i t is in a stiible c~ish situiition. the iii;ibilitg to reach a deal with IMP remained ;i problem ;is i t is Hawkair’s largest creclitor.

“The letters are ready to the point they have blanks where the serial numbers [of the aircraft]

it really needs is aircraft that can carry more passengers and freight, he said.

That’s because recent federal weight restrictions have cut back what IMG’s two older Dash 8s can carry in terms of passengers and cargo. In turn, this can affect Hawkair’s income stream on each flight.

Mr. Justice Burnyeat has called Hawkair back to court Oct. 20 at which time he wants the company to submit either signed leases or demonstrate significant progress in finding re- placements.

Hayward said it was unfortunate IMP wants

an unsecured creditor for the remaining amount.

Hawkair has been putting $60,000 a month into the bank since early summer to act as a down payment for any lease arrangement it ne- gotiates.

That was money the company had been paying to IMP even though it did not have to because it was under creditor protection, said Hayward .

“We were doing so in good faith. We didn’t have to but we did it in hopes of being able to get’a new deal [with IMP],” he said.

It’s been bought by Tandem Medical Equipment of New Y ork, which specializes in used radiology equipment, and will either be sold to another medical facility or used as parts

“There’s a big market for used medical equipment,” says Ian Halpert who founded Tandem three years ago.

“For some people it may be all they can afford. Or it might go to a service company. In essence they will use it for parts to keep another machine going.”

Tandem’s customers are spread around the world and it first ensures that what it buys and then resells i s in proper working order.

Tandem paid less than $10,000 for the old CT machine, far less than its $610,000 purchase price back in 1993. It bought the scanner from Toshiba, who supplied the new one at Mills, and disposing of it was part of Toshiba’s contract.

But the Field aircraft was i n the air for more than budgeted in June because one of the IMP aircraft needed servicing.

Hayward did not expect the loss of the Field Dash-8 to affect the company at least for now because it is trimming flights as part of its re@- lar fall schedule change.

Part of that will involve combining Terrace and Prince Rupert stops with either trips down to or up from Vancouver.

No hitchhikhg signs to get a second look

I By PllSTlN QUEZADA

A PLAN to put up more signs warning people it is illegal to hitchhike on area highways will be revisited now that questions about whether the practice is allowed or not have been answered.

The plan had been a response to prevent hitchhiking because a number of missing and murdered women along Hwy16 were last seen trying to get rides.

A manager with the Kiti- mat-Stikine Regional Dis- trict said last week the idea had been put aside after a conversation he had with a Ministry of Transportation official earlier this year. “I’m going to ask for

clarification from the Min- istry of Highways (Trans- portation) and the RCMP,” said. Andy Webber, adding he understood from that talk that hitchhiking was not an illegal activity on local highways and that picking up hitchhikers was illegal.

Webber a!so says he understood the local highways were not classified as freeways and, therefore not eligible to have the signs.

Publicly, board direc- tor Marylin Davies, who is also a Terrace city councillor, also feared the sign plan was fruitless because she had thought the practice was legal. Davies. who ad- vised the board in June that it could not put up no hitchhiking signs on the three highways because the practice is only illegal on freeways, says shc now knows that isn‘t the case.

‘‘I understand now that [hitchhiking on local highways] is not legal.” said Davies. “1 would suggcst people don’t undcrstand (the rules).”

An RCMP staff sergeanl based in Langley shccp- ishly admitted he, too, was unsure.

“I had to go look it up,” said Staff Sgt. Ted Emanu- els, with the “E’ Division Traffic Services,

What Emanuels found in the Motor Vehicle Act was that a pedestrian is prohibit- ed from being on a roadway to solicit a ride - or hitchhike.

“A roadway by defi- nition is any highway Of any road,” Emanuels said. “You can’t hitchhike on any road.”

The confusion may arise from the differences between schedule one and schedule two highways. Schedule one highways are multi-lane urban freeways.

“No hitchhiking Signs are required on schedule one highways.” said Jeff Knight, Ministry of Trans- portation spokesperson.

one on Hwy 16 West off of Brooks St.

In fact, says Emanuel, the reverse is true.

“There is no charge for picking up (hitchhikers), just for hitchhiking,” said the staff sergeant. People found trying to solicit a ride in B.C. face a $109 fine.

Knight says the signs are not normally erected on any roadways except for urban mu 1 ti -lane freeways but they could be if they were requested.

“If a form3 request was made, certainly the (transportation) ministry would look at it, consult with police and regional and municipal governments,” Knight said.

Davies’s comments followed a spring motion from two fellow board members instructing staff to investigate installing signs on Hwy16 East, Hwy 37 and the Nisga’a Hwy.

where Emanuels says pedestrians would be “removed from the highway one way or another,” pedestrians are allowed on schedule two highways as long as they face traffic when walking.

The regional district, which Webber says had turned instead to an “infor- mational approach” instead of pursuing the addition of no hitchhiking signs. is still sccking provincial money for five billboards (one each in Hazclton.

Austrian- ambassa,dor visits the Nass Valley By ROD LINK

AUSTRIAN AMBASSADOR Otto Diiz was feted, saw a large humpback whale, went fishing and enjoyed the hospitality of the Nisga’a on a trip last week to the Nass Valley.

Accompanied by his wife and embassy officials, Ditz went into the valley at the invitation of the Nisga’a dating back four years when a pole by valley carver Alver Tait was raised in Vienna. 0

Ditz and his party also hiked to the lava cone in the Nass while using a Nass lodge as their base.

“We had a wonderful banquet in Kinco- lith,” said Ditz of one event. ‘The seafood there was excellent. It was the best seafood I ever ate.”

The Austrian party, with Nisga’a hosts, yent up Observatory Inlet by boat and were able io see a grizzly bear feeding on a fish and had a very close up look at a humpback whale that repeatedly surfaced near their craft.

“It’s a wonderful area. We very much enjoyed ourselves,” said Ditz who also met with Nisga’a leaders and were the guests at a community reception in New Aiyansh.

He said the Tait pole, located on the grounds of a zoo in Vienna, is very popular and that he was glad to return the goodwill from that venture in the,fonii of a visit to the Nass.

“1 think there are ‘opportunities for ex- changes, programs with youth and others that will benefit both sides,”said Ditz.

In Canada for two and half years, Ditz has visited B.C. often but this is the farthest north he has ever ventured.

In some ways,.the scenery and geography is similar to portions of his home country, Ditz added.

And that may help explain why wilderness areas of B.C. and Canada are so popular . “But nowadays, our land iBso cultiyated. Here it is still wilderness,” said Ditz.

The ambassador also visited with Terrace and Kitimat councils.

Wanted: tales of gold rush fever ,

CBC RADIO‘S provincial noon show is panning for golden nuggets- from its listeners. BC Almanac has launched a new book project revolving around the 150th anniversary of the 1858 Fraser River gold rush. and creation of the mainland colony. “This event really defined our province,” says host Mark Forsythz. “especially after 30,000 American miners arrived ... it forced the British to declare the mainland colony very quickly in November 1858.”

BC Almanac is asking British Columbians to describe a personal connection to the gold rush; whether it be an ancestor who worked the Fraser River sandbars, sold supplies in Lillooet or danced the hurdy gurdy in Barkerville. It might include visible signs of the gold rush in their community like the old Cariboo Wagon Road, artifacts, letters, pictures or an abiding passion for gold panning. The story will be told from many points of view: Canadian, European, Asian, American and First Nations - the first to locate gold.

To make a contribution, visit the BC Almanac web page www.cbc.ca/bcalmanac, click on Gold Rush Connection. Forsythe says he and co-author Greg Dickson want to get people thinking about B.C.’s fascinating history and hopefully explor- ing the province’s old gold rush communities and trails. This will be the third book from the CBC current affairs program: previous titles include The British Columbia Almanac (Arsenal Pulp, net proceeds to BC Childrens Hospital) and The BC Almanac Book of Greatest British Columbians (Harbour Publishing, royalties to Friends of the BC Archives).

which failed four years ago, forcing villagers to travel to the watering hole.

Three years later, thanks to donations from Rotary clubs throughout the region and matching grants from the international body, the couple was able to return to the village to watch the water flow for the first time this spring. It’s a moment that will stick in their minds for very long time.

Pioneer returns as an author By DLISTlN QUEZADA

has el apsed Thc sanic tinic

L i .

sincc Brandis was last in Terrace. “I’ve got a lot of images and

nieniories.” said Brandis, who lived with her fiiiliily here as a child and teen. “It‘s a big chunk of a person’s I i fc.“

I b r Brnndis and her family, not only were the years here numerous (nine) but forma- tive.

The Dutch immigrant family - father Bill, mother Madzy and siblings Marianne, Gerard and Jock - was perhaps the first postwar immigrants from Europe.

They eked out a living as pioneer farm- ers (without previous agricultural experience) where Eby St. meets the base of the Bench.

B r a n d i s ’ s mother kept a thorough, hu- morous and in- sightful diary

fully weaved a book titled Froittiers arid Satrcriraries: a Womm ‘s Life irt Hollaitd arid Cmada. It dctails her mother’s life from hcr upper class Dutch childhood and wartime in Eu- rope to her pioneer life in Canada, her family life, writing, painting and descent into paralyzing rhcurnatoid arthritis. Through these chapters in Madzy’s life, Brandis creates the book’s chapters.

For Brandis, it was the time in Ter- race that would influence so much of her life, including her career, as her award-winning books are based on the conditions of pioneer times. Her books include The Tinderbox, The Quarter-Pie Window, The Sign of- the Scales, arid Rebellion: A Novel of Upper Canada.

“Living on the farm shaped the values of what mattered,” said Bran- dis last week from her home in Strat- ford, Ont. “Certainly, the way of life provided hands-on experience with pioneer living.”

Brandis says the family lived pretty primitively, even at the end of their time here.

They lived without a mechanized vehicle at the beginning, drew water from a well and had DO furnace.

The chapter devoted to Terrace tells of these times.

For instance, when the Knox United Church burned to the ground in January 1949, Madzy consoled the minister, vowing to help replace the church bell.

“How are you going to do that? We can’t afford it!” he replied.

Madzy wrote a letter to her min-

I

painstak- ingly and skill-

life and the

ister in Holland outlining the problem.

A bell would bc sent to Terrace and 15 months aftcr the fire, it rang at the dedication of the new church. It is still part of the church.

Brandis, who will make a hand- ful of appearances here ncxt week to promote the book, say,s thc project was unique and time consuming.

It took three and a half years to research and write the book. Brandis uses several excerpts from her mother’s writings, as well as contributed information and memories from her mother”s relatives and friends.

The final product took two more years to finish.

The challenge, said Brandis, was in separating her roles as daughter and biographer.

Brandis will read from her book at the Terrace Public Library Wednes- day, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. and at Misty River Books the next day at 2 p.m.

She will also appear at area schools on both days in the mornings.

Her talks’ theme will be “the legacy of Terrace: how nine years of farming on Eby Road shaped the life and writing of Madzy Brandis and her famiIy.”

It will mark the first time Bran- dis will return since the family left in 1956.

“I’m very excited and look forward to it and to see what changes have taken place.”

She knows her former town will look little like the picture that reminds her of Terrace.

Royal LePage Terrace Congratulates

Shannon McAllister FALL PLANTING 1 coup e Success on attaining

For the month of August. Royal LePage Terrace

"Platinum Award" There is much confusion about fa1 planting. Fall is an excellent time of year t c plant trees and shrubs. Because of heav) fall rains watering is not as critical, although the soil should still be checked for sufficienl moisture. The larger the tree or shrub the more water it requires. Trees and shrubs can be removed from pots and planted in the ground at any time of year. The reason for this is because none of the roots are being cut or damaged. In the fall plants are at the end of the growing season ,so they are not putting a heavy demand on the root system. Once a plant has reached its dormant state, approximately the end of October, they become even more resilient to stress. Dormancy varies from plant to plant, but roughly lasts from November to March. The best time of year to dig trees and shrubs out of the ground and move them to a new location is the dormant season.

The more dam'age you do to the roots the more you will need to water them in the spring. Trees and shrubs that are planted in the fall will still need you to water them in the spring, just not as heavily as if you just planted it.

NOT ONLY were Nellie and Ed McFadden Queen and Captain of this year's Riverboat Days but on Aug. 26 the couple celebrated 65 years of marriage.

Isn't it wonderful that Nellie and Ed should be chosen to represent Terrace for Riverboat Days? How often is it, nowadays, that you hear of a man and wife celebrating such a milestone?

On Aug. 26; 1941, Nel- lie Swain and Ed McFadden were married by the Rev. McLeodin at the United Church in Mannville, Aha.

They both grew up in and around Mannville and were high school sweethearts.

Nellie Swain was born March 24, 1920 in Is- lay, Alta. Her mother died while giving birth so Nellie and her sister Mabel were raised by their grandmother. Nellie's father ran a livery stable in Mannville. After Nel's mother died, her father went to live with her uncle Cleland, and helped to raise his family.

After high school, Nellie went on to take teacher training in Edmonton, first teaching at a small country school south of Mindurn, Aha. Nel- lie said that when she went to school in. the country, she would travel three miles to school on horseback or by cutter in the winter months.

I B4 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 20,2006

ROB BROWN

On the backs of fish here was no conservation crisis for steelhead, no crisis for sockeye, but there was a major crisis for fishermen and shore work- T ers,” said a jubilant Gary Coons, MLA for

Prince Rupert, at the news that the Federal Depart- ment of Fisheries and Oceans had issued permission to the commercial fishing fleet for another sockeye opening.

Also vigourously applauding and lauding DFO’s decision to ignore the pleas of the Ministry of the Environment and permit another opening were Prince Rupert Mayor Herb Pond, Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen and Joy Thorkelson of the UFAWU, all of whom had exerted pressure on the fisheries managers and their bosses to make the fishery happen.

Thorkelson’s actions and her reaction to the an- nouncement are no surprise. The commercial fishing industry is so self absorbed - especially during lean economic times - that i t will fish to the last fish if allowed to do so.

(Proof of this can be found in collapsing fisheries all over the globe and in particular the cod fishery on our east coast, where, despite no evidence of re- covery after a decade of closure, some fishers are still clamouring for fishing opportunities.

To deal with this characteristic of the exploitation of common property resources, governments form agencies. in this case DFO and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) to do the right thing by fish based on the best science available.

Mayor Pond’s wilful ignorance and grandstand- ing are understandable. No matter what fishing industry apologists say, wild salmon stocks have dwindled on the north coast, the mill at Port Ed is still shut. the price of Canuck coal is depressed and the much heralded container port may not be the giant windfall it’s been touted to be.

Times are tough in Rupert. The mayor knaws he must hop on every putative economic bandwagon that rolls along, and the harder he waves the city flag the more likely he is to get re-elected.

The actions of New Democrats MP Cullen and MLA Coons are harder to explain and excuse. Us-” ing political clout to make resource managers do the wrong thing by fish is just plain wrong.

Coons’ assessment of the plight of shore workers is correct. His take on the status of salmon stocks is dead wrong.

Despite what MLA Coons says, there has been a sockeye conservation crisis in Skeena since before the construction of the spawning channels in Fulton River and Pinkut Creek.

The construction of those channels was a grand government subsidy to the commercial fishing industry and a huge ecological disaster. By enhans- ing the stocks two ‘Babine streams, the DFO fish culturists set in motion a mixed stock interception problem that persists to this day.

More boats caught more sockeye for decades, but since a Kitwanga sockeye or a Morice sockeye is indistinguishable from a Pinkut or Fulton sockeye and all are subject to the same kill rate. the un- enhanced wild sockeye were fishcd down year after year.

This goes a long way to explain why a shadow run of about 1.000 sockeye - the remnant of a run of approximately 75.000 fish - returns to the Kitwanga River these days. And why the sockeye of the upper Morice are flagging. And why the sockeye bound for the streams flowing into Babine Lake other than Pinkut and Fulton are dramatically reduced.

Coho, chinook and steelhead pa/d the same price for having migratory times that overlap that of BIG Sockeye. After over a century of heavy exploitation at the hands of an industry that has really only paid lip service to selective fishing methods. the Skeena fishery is less biologically diverse and less sustain- able. and the problem grows each season.

Shills for the fishing industry will always try to argue that the non-targetted salmonids are more abundant than they are. This data death dance is insupportable because the methods used to gather the numbers are akin to doing eye surgery with a crosscut saw.

Even so. using the best numbers we have from the Tyee Test Fishery 3006. we can see that early in the season. when the first of the summer steelhead passes through the lower reaches of the Skeena bound,for the headwaters of the Skeena, the index sho\vs that day after day no steelhead were netted.

When the fishery was closed a few were caught. When i t opened, the index flatlined again.

In 2006 a low steelhead return coincided with a robust sockeye return and this led to conservation disaster.

As they cheer their victory. Coons. Cullen et. al. should realize that they have held up a huge hairy middle finger to the resource users upstream and, more importantly, they have discounted the needs 3f salmon.

Demolition derby victor leaves> competition in mud ly MARGARET SPEIRS

4 DRIVER who only competes at the demolition lerby smashed his way to the victory and even teered his “scrap metal” remains back to the pits ftenvard.

Daniel Wittkowski, who came third in the de- nolition derby three years ago in a Honda com- act, maneuvered his station wagon around the iuddy infield and front stretch of the track, tak- ig out as many of his competitors as possible for le win.

Darryl Bjorgaard finished second and A1 Stew- rt came third.

At one point, Wittkowski tangled with Bjor- aard. hitting him so hard the duo kept on sliding own the front stretch together all the way to the res marking the end of the derby area.

Partway through the action. stock car associa- on member Blair Loset blew the air horn to end le warmup round.

Drivers’*motdi’ed on into the pits or let tow ucks haul them in for some hasty repairs before ie final heat.

A small bobcat, one of Wittkowski’s sponsors, sed its bucket to pull dents out of his car.

As Wittkowski headed back to the track. a member of his pit crew exclaimed: “Unbeliev- able, it still drives.”

Back on the track, drivers wasted no time slam- ming new dents into each other.

Wittkowski struck hard and often, ending up stalled at the edge of the demo area along the wall.

For a moment, it seemed like all the vehicles were dead, then Wittkowski’s rumbled to life and began moving, making him the winner.

“I’m like ‘come on start’,’’ he said. “I was just about thinking of putting my flag up

and finally it started again.” He said his car stalled after he smashed another

car and crashed into the wall to slow down since his car didn’t ha-te any brakes.

“No, I didn’t know I had won at that point. I went back and hit one car. I looked up at the flag guy and saw tlie red flag and realized I had won,” he said.

His strategy involved hitting h‘ard and using his back end to ensure no one could get close to his radiator.

The vehicle had concrete inside the driver’s side door but next year’s model will also have a

concrete-filled passenger door for more safety. When he hit the wall at one point, another

driver hammered his passenger side, which nearly caved in on him.

Wittkowski said the car was pretty much finished off - the rear end was crunched up at an angle that forced the rear bumper to scrape on the pavement and the driver’s side front tire was tilted in toward the frame - but he was able to salvage the engine and transmission.

He plans to put his $500 prize money toward next season’s vehicle. ’

Here are the winners of the races on the final day of the season at the speedway: ’

Bomber heat - Dan Dollemore Appliance race - Corinne Downing Bag race - driver James Webb and navigator

Obstacle race - AI Stewart ATV race 600cc and over - Mike Haugland ATV race 500cc and under - Greg Porter ATV junior race winners - Keenan Roy, Jer-

The pair, who are employees of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine works and services department, spent the day pressure washing the court, one of its final touches. Supervisor Darryl Bjorgaard said he believes the pitch is the first in the northwest and will be used for lacrosse as well. MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO

DESPITE the cool weather, cattle sorters corralled plenty of bovines at the final event of the season Sept. 9.

Among the premade teams. first place went to Lory Howard, Danita Petch and teammate for sorting 24 cattle.

The three-generation team of Kalen Rempel, Kim Renipel and Marg Rempel took second place with 2 1 cattle sorted.

Lyn Rempel. Jason Rempel and Kim Renipel sorted 20 cows to tie for third with James Muller, Joey Muller and Danny Muller.

The fastest sort of 10 cattle clocked in at 1 :09:5 1 by the premade team of Lyn Rempel, Jason Rem- pel and Kim Rempel.

The random team cate- gory victory went to Cin- dy Hansen, Danny Muller and Vera Heaman with 24 cows sorted.

John Shorthouse and Tom Lars- cheid have also moved over from CKNW to 1040 so the radio voices won’t change either.

Merkef sorted 13 cat& for third.

The fastest sort of 10 cattle by a random team was 1:19:52 from Cindy Reid, Dieter Arnold and Joey Muller.

Twenty-four riders and 22 teams took part in the event and finished as the rain started.
