Airport grounds WestJet chaseTHE NORTHWEST Regional Airport is backing off from any effort to encourage WestJet to add Terrace to its destination list.

The decision, reached by members of the non-profi t society that run the facility, was made after airport of-fi cials made a sales pitch to the airline at its invitation in late spring.

Although airport society president Ron Burnett said it’s apparent WestJet regards

Terrace as a prime candidate for its new regional airline scheduled to start service next year, it’s going to be content to let WestJet make a fi nal decision on its own without any local encour-agement.

He would not comment directly on whether the board’s decision is tied to any worries that WestJet ser-vice might harm local carrier Hawkair.

Hawkair and Air Canada Jazz Express now provide

Vancouver-Terrace service.“I think the business case

has already been made and WestJet had already done their homework,” said Bur-nett. “They’ve obviously re-alized this is a growth area.If they are looking for one airport, the Northwest Re-gional Airport is the one.”

Burnett said there is pub-lic interest in having WestJet set up shop in Terrace, add-ing many people now drive to Prince George for WestJet fl ights and having the carrier

here would bring more traf-fi c to Terrace.

But it is not the job of the airport society to pursue car-riers, he said. The society’s fi rst role is to ensure safety, second reliability, and third is market surveying and re-search, he said.

Terrace is one of more than 30 locations being eyed by WestJet for a regional arm to start next year using new Dash 8-400 aircraft. They’re faster than the older Dash 8-type aircraft now

in use by Hawkair and Air Canada Jazz.

Hawkair, which is owned by a Smithers-based com-pany that also owns Cen-tral Mountain Airlines and Northern Thunderbird, has begun promoting its region-al roots in its advertising us-ing the phrase, “When I fl y, I support the local economy.”

Hawkair offi cial Rod Hayward said the airline is used to dealing in a competi-tive atmosphere and that the airline industry is changing

continually.“In some ways, we would

stand at a better advantage because our cost struc-ture is probably lower than WestJet’s,” said Hayward. “A brand new Dash 8-400, they’re not cheap.”

A WestJet arrival would not be the fi rst time three air-lines have fl own the Terrace-Vancouver route.

Pacifi c Coast Airlines pulled out in March 2008, after barely a year. It cited low ticket sales.

College cuts battleends up in courtANGRY OVER layoffs, the Academic Workers Union, which mostly represents instructors, has fi led suit against Northwest Community College.

The union alleges the college board failed to adequately consult the institution’s own education council in course content and pro-gram planning for the coming school year.

“The action comes as a surprise to the Northwest Community College (NWCC), since consultations with both stakehold-ers and the board were conducted during the defi cit mitigation process,” said Denise Henning, president and CEO, in a press re-lease last week of efforts that began at the beginning of this year to cut a defi cit that would have been in the neighbourhood of $2 million.

“I know that we consulted both the educa-tional council and all stakeholders through-out this diffi cult process, but apparently the academic workers feel we have not adhered to the act,” she added of legislation govern-ing the college.

The Academic Workers Unionfi led legal action nearly two weeks ago un-der Section 23 of the College and Institutes Act, a section which sets out the education council’s role in course content and delivery and planning.

The president of a provincial association of post secondary unions which takes in the Academic Workers Union says she doesn’t understand Henning’s response.

“For Mrs. Henning to say she doesn’t know where the court application is coming from, that she’s surprised by it, I fi nd that very strange,” said Cindy Oliver, president

of the BC Federation of Post Secondary Educators.

“The act does require that administrators must get input from their education coun-sel when they are contemplating program changes.”

Oliver alleges that college administrators did not follow the correct steps.

“There are going to be some programs that are not going to be offered anymore and these changes are going to have serious effects on students,” she said. “Administra-tors made those decisions without the proper consultations.”

The college’s education council is re-sponsible for overviewing academic and technical training.

“They have a very serious role to play in the governance of the institution and they’re an important governing body,” said Oliver.

In response, Henning said that no pro-gram or course changes have been made.

“There were no courses cancelled, there were no programs that were cancelled,” she said. “Obviously there seems to be a mis-communication.”

Henning added that the board did consult during course and program planning, and that a representative of the education council sits on the college board.

“To say that the board did not consult, that is a very inaccurate comment,” she said.

This latest action is separate from the one the union fi led against the college with the provincial Labour Relations Board by the Academic Workers Union earlier this year.

Councillor fi ghtsa rare diseaseA VETERAN city coun-cillor battling a rare dis-ease was taken out of an induced coma late last week.

Lynne Christiansen was fl own to Vancouver to St. Paul’s Hospital for advanced medical care two weeks ago after be-ing diagnosed with We-gener’s disease.

There is currently no known cure for it.

The disease is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by in-fl amed blood vessels.

It affects the body’s organs, is considered life threatening and is painful.

Christiansen had been placed in a coma for a few days as one way of dealing with the disease.

Last weekend, her mother Grace Warner said Christiansen has shown improvement in her condition and had visitors, including her sisters.

“I appreciate every-body that’s been call-ing about Lynne, and

many, many people say they’re praying for her,” she said.

“She is totally out of the coma that was induced and she’s been able to get up and take in normal food so we’re so thankful for that and it looks like she’s made a substantial recovery but she still certainly is a sick lady.”

Christiansen fi rst went through several weeks of testing before being fl own to Vancou-ver.

“They’ve moved her into the kidney ward so

that they can monitor her kidneys. They seem to be working but they want to monitor them further,” said Clarence Warner, Christiansen’s dad.

Christiansen has been an elected city of-fi cial since December 1999 and is one of the more well-known mem-bers of city council.

Acting mayor Mary-lin Davies said prayers are coming from the City of Terrace too.

“As council, we are very anxious about her,” said Davies.

Davies added that as Christiansen is consid-ered seriously ill, right now what’s important for council is that she rest and focus on get-ting better.

Christiansen has a long-standing history in Terrace, notably as the former president of the farmers market.

As a council mem-ber, she has been a strong advocate for improving health care services.

TERRACE CITY coun-cil hasn’t shifted its stance on Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline proj-ect despite a recent oil refi nery announcement.

The idea of a refi n-ery, proposed Aug. 17 by Black Press owner David Black (The Ter-race Standard is a Black Press newspaper) would be built 25 kilometres south of Terrace and is estimated to employ roughly 6000 work-ers in its construction phase.

Black said he wants the refi nery to take crude from Enbridge’s proposed pipeline, turn-ing the heavy oil into refi ned products like gasoline prior to ship-ping it in tankers.

But even if the refi n-ery comes to fruition, gains exclusive rights to Alberta crude oil being transported by the pipe-line, and makes tanker traffi c safer because refi ned products are less risky to the ocean, most councillors say it doesn’t change their anti-pipeline stance.

“We’re always in favour of investments,” said councillor Mary-lin Davies after the an-nouncement. “[But] we really don’t have any details. We have a pie-in-the-sky idea.”

Davies added that a refi nery near here doesn’t change con-cerns about the pipeline proposed to feed it.

“I have a real prob-lem with running the bi-tumen,” she said, point-ing to a recent forest fi re near Copper River Road where fi refi ghting crews couldn’t initially gain access. “What would happen if that was an oil spill?” she said.

Councillor James Cordeiro agreed that a refi nery doesn’t change the pipeline project. “The proposed refi n-ery in some way might mitigate marine risk, however, the burden of

proof still remains on Enbridge as to the safe-ty of the Northern Gate-way pipeline proposal,” he said.

“At this time I have yet to see anything from Enbridge that would al-ter my position.”

Cordeiro said the re-fi nery proposal is so hy-pothetical that consid-ering it as viable in the Northern Gateway de-bate isn’t worth it yet.

But councillor Brian Downie said he thinks of the proposal as an-

other piece of informa-tion in the process.

“I was one that sup-ported following a pro-cess (before forming a stance on the pipeline project),” he said.

“The announcement of the pipeline is essen-tially putting out some other ideas about how a petro chemical indus-try could develop this area,” he said.

Councillor Stacey Tyers said development needs to be weighed with risk.

“I get that we need jobs, but at what cost?” said Tyers. “It doesn’t change the bitumen travelling through our watershed which terri-fi es me.”

Councillor BruceBidgood agreed.

“I think that the whole discussion about building a refi nery here does nothing to address the risks involved with pumping oil across the province of B.C.,” he said. “Is any amount of money or jobs worth

having an environmen-tal disaster?

“I think our position [as city council] has re-mained unchanged,” he said. “But I think we’re probably going to have some discussions about this on council just to reconfi rm that our stance hasn’t changed.”

City council’s oppo-sition to the Northern Gateway pipeline came about in a two-part mo-tion in a January coun-cil meeting.

The motion asked

council to declare sup-port for two Union of British Columbia Municipalities mo-tions: “B140 Oppos-ing the shipping of tar sand oil in pipe-lines across northern B.C. for loading onto crude oil tankers,” and“B139 Opposing any expansion of bulk crude oil tanker traffi c in Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait and Queen Char-lotte Sound, B.C.”

Councillor Lynne Christiansen is ill and could not comment.

Mayor Dave Pern-arowski, who is out of the country, responded via two emails, saying the city is “always open to new business and job creation opportunities.

“Mr. Black is a high-ly respected and suc-cessful businessman in B.C. and, as the owner of one of our key me-dia outlets, The Terrace Standard, he is a valued member of our growing business community.

“At this time, we don’t know enough about the project to comment one way or another about it, but we look forward to work-ing with Mr. Black in the future and engaging with our citizens regard-ing any major invest-ments that could create jobs and help grow our amazing city,” the may-or said.

Still, he concluded, council’s anti-pipeline stance hasn’t changed.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Council leery of refi nery plan

A NORTHWEST First Nations leader said he plans to help the own-er of Black Press fi nd money to build an oil refi nery.

Gitxsan land claims negotiator Elmer Der-rick said he applauded the Aug. 17 announce-ment made by media mogul David Black about plans to build a plant that would re-fi ne crude oil from Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipe-line project. That would

mean refi ned products like gas, diesel and ker-osene would be export-ed on tankers instead of raw bitumen, reducing the threat to the coast.

Derrick said the jobs that would come should the refi nery be built and operate would make a signifi cant dent in First Nations unemployment.

“I think he made a bold move and it’s commendable,” said Derrick. “The whole thing about adding val-ue to Canadian products

is very important for me because we can’t just continue to ship raw materials out for other people to add value to,” he said.

The refi nery plan calls for approximately 6,000 workers to be hired for the plant’s construction phase and about 3,000 permanent jobs afterward.

“I always laugh at the statistics that Canada puts out about unemployment,” said Derrick, pointing to a

recent Statistics Canada unemployment report showing a rate of 11.9 per cent for July for the North Coast and Necha-ko region, which covers just west of Vanderhoof to Haida Gwaii.

“When you go to the villages, most of them average about 75 per cent unemployment,” said Derrick.

“Our noses don’t seem to count when it comes to Canada sta-tistics, and that really pisses me off.”

He said the refi nery could help with First Nations unemployment.

“It will make a huge difference in the lives of young people in this community,” he said.

“That’s why I spend so much time trying to bring development ac-tivity to this area.”

Derrick said that other First Nations lead-ers have contacted him since the announcement, although he wouldn’t divulge the names of those leaders.

“I’ve talked to a num-ber of aboriginal leaders and they’re quite inter-ested ... different people from around the prov-ince who have phoned,” Derrick continued.

But a good idea needs money to happen, and Black doesn’t have the capital to fi nance the entire project himself, he said.

“There’ll be people, like me, that will be try-ing to fi nd other inves-tors to bring into the mix,” said Derrick.

View from the topThornhill Mountain lookout was rebuilt by the forest service with help from the community

By Samantha Garvey

A community collabora-tion is responsible for the rebuild of a lookout at the top of Thornhill

Mountain. A lookout has been perched on the peak since the 1920s. But in recent years, the building had fallen into disrepair.

To celebrate its centenary, the forest service in Terrace undertook the project to rebuild the lookout. But it wasn’t alone.

“(Projects) like this only hap-pen when the community gives support,” said Carl Johansen of the local forestry service.

And the community answered the call.

The carpentry class of the Northwest Community College Trades Program completed the walls, roof and rafters as part of a class project. Quantum Helicopters fl ew the crews in and out of the site at a discounted rate and added a free day of fl ying. Labour was pro-vided by B.C. Timber Sales, the Wildfi re Management Branch and local contractor John Vandevelde. Terry Myhr from the McElhan-ney engineering fi rm in Terrace designed the structure, including cables that extend from each cor-ner of the building. Further dona-tions were provided by the rotary and Kinsmen Clubs of Terrace.

The idea began with Johansen, and the timing fi t with allocations of funds to restore old lookouts from the BC Forest Service head offi ce. But the overall project re-quired more than the initial seed money from Victoria.

“If it relied on our budget alone, it wouldn’t have happened,” said Johansen.

To the top of Thornhill Moun-tain is a seven-kilometre hike, which would take an avid hiker nearly four hours to complete.

The lookout was fi rst built in the

1920s. The new one was built on the exact same spot.

“We were able to salvage the foundation,” said Vandevelde, add-ing that workers did need to touch up some spots.

The cables went up Aug. 16. Close to hurricane-force winds

blow over the top of the mountain so cables are necessary to keep the lookout right where it is.

The trail gets very active use, especially from hikers in the sum-mer and snowmobilers in the win-ter. Johansen said he expects the lookout too will be often used and may be a draw to attract more peo-ple up the mountain.

Provincially, six fi re lookouts are slated for restoration this year with four additional lookouts being assessed for potential future resto-ration. This initiative is being man-aged by the Recreation Sites and Trails Branch and is in conjunction with the centenary of the BC For-

est Service. The budget for the Thornhill

project is estimated at approxi-mately $45,000, of which $15,000 in seed money was provided by the sites and trails branch. The remain-der was through in-kind contribu-tions, pro-bono work, volunteers, service clubs and individual dona-tions, Northwest Community Col-lege support and more.


CREWS PUT the fi nal touches on the new lookout that sits atop Thornhill Mountain at 4,800 feet.

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

THE REVIEW by provincial offi cials into the northwest’s high jobless rate cannot be fi nished too soon.

It follows another month of dou-ble digit jobless fi gures, a situation which is, says provincial jobs minis-ter Pat Bell who ordered the review, “a cause for concern, particularly given the level of economic activity that is taking place in the region.”

Now that’s an understatement from Mr. Bell, arguably the only Lib-eral cabinet minister who can speak knowledgeably about the northwest.

Briefl y, the regional jobless rate in July was 11.9 per cent and 12.2 per cent in June, roughly 50 per cent more than a year ago at a time when everyone is pointing at the northwest as a place of economic growth.

Worse yet, the northwest is the only region in B.C. where the jobless rate is in double digits and the sta-tistics indicate the number of people working is dropping, not increasing.

What the review will most likely fi nd, and it’s something that will be of no surprise to Mr. Bell and oth-ers, is that there is a gap between the skill level of people who live here now and the kind of jobs now open-ing up.

This is a recurring theme of the regional economy and, ironically enough, forms the heart of a wide-ranging – but as of yet murky – pro-vincial plan to address the skills gap. If Mr. Bell can take what his staffers provide and push for a quicker clos-ing of the gap, then more power to him.

COMPOSITION:

I have no sympathy for dog owners who ignore by-laws and then bristle when their pets are im-

pounded and, if accused of having bitten someone, face trial.

But I do have sympathy for all dogs, even those who have bitten me, for they know not what they do. I feel espe-cially sympathetic toward an impounded young dog who, by the owner’s comments, has spent many of his days in the bush while his owner worked, and had little inter-action with children.

And I have neither sympa-thy nor patience for owners, or their far fl ung Facebook supporters, who bleat await-ing a judge’s decision after they’ve allowed their animal to run afoul of the law.

I’ve had to skirmish with many a neighbour’s dog and listen to owners’ wimpy, il-logical excuses after their dog either crossed the pave-ment to bite me, tackle my leashed dogs, or followed me home and squeezed under my fence to muscle in on my dogs’ food and territory.

There was the mobile home owner of a nursing chi-huahua that bit my ankle as I walked past. “I can’t keep

her in!” the owner said. “She jumps out the window!” The dog was impounded; the fam-ily moved away soon after.

Or the owner of a 90-lb. boxer that lumbered the length of its driveway to bowl over my old 24-lb. dog in the middle of the pavement. “Why don’t you walk on the far side of the street?” the owner yelled. The dogcatcher warned her three times before she controlled her dog.

Or the owner of a pup that persisted in tagging along on my trail walks, then followed me home, and crawled in un-der my gate. The fi nal time I delivered the pup to the own-er’s door she accused me of

harassing her, and threatened to call the RCMP. “He can’t help himself,” she said, “he’s not neutered. My neighbours should confi ne their females in heat to backyard sheds.” Both my dogs are fi xed.

Somehow it’s always the dog’s fault as though dogs sign their adoption papers with a paw dipped in ink like an Iraqi voter.

In Thornhill’s dog pound, a young German shepherd has already waited fi ve months for a judge to decide its fate. I’ve read 33 comments and confl icting versions of events in The Terrace Standard and many more on a Facebook website seeking signatures on a petition asking for the dog’s relocation to the Kiti-mat SPCA shelter until its trial in December.

I’ve also seen the dog’s yard. If wooden fencing vis-ible from the street, too low to deter a shepherd and with two six-inch wide boards missing, is representative of any backyard enclosure, leav-ing the yard was easy.

According to the RCMP, “Police were called on April 5, at 4:43 PM on a report of a three-year-old boy being bit and two other boys being at-tacked by a dog in the 3900

block of Mountainview.“Investigation determined

that the three-year-old boy sustained a serious bite to his right hip. The bite was be-yond anything that could be attributed to a playful nip or misunderstanding by the dog. A six-year-old boy sustained minor scratches to his right hip. An 11-year-old boy was uninjured but had his pants torn.

“The mother was walking down the street with the three-year-old and six-year-old boys when the dog attacked without provocation. The 11-year-old boy was play-ing road hockey on the street when he was attacked. The 1.5-year-old German shep-herd had escaped its fenced yard with another German shepherd. The other dog was not involved in the incident. A third German shepherd did not leave the yard. The peo-ple involved, witnesses and the owner of the dog, were all spoken with during the course of the investigation.”

The longer this pup is con-fi ned to the Thornhill pound where it receives minimal ex-ercise and human interaction, the less chance it has of being rehabilitated and re-homed if a judge grants a reprieve.

Man’s best friend suffers in the end

The Mail Bag

The following passage is an excerpt of a column I wrote that ran in this location in The Terrace

Standard in December 2011: “The debates about the pros and cons of some of the proposed projects are important, as shifting paradigms always come with anxiety and in-security.

“A lot of the questions can be answered with facts and fi gures; some will never be answered as they just require believing in di-versifying the economy is neces-sary.”

And then came Aug. 17 and the proposal to add a refi nery to the mix of planned industrial projects in this region.

It took the con side merely three hours to denounce and ridi-cule this proposal. This stance of strong opposition is taken in conjunction with the opposition against the Northern Gateway pipeline project, and it was fur-ther argued that it would not make economic sense.

I am not entirely sure if all the facts and fi gures were on the table

to make the economic statement this decisive, but that’s beside the point.

The economics in a natural resource economy are primar-ily driven by commodity prices, globally driven and hence hard to infl uence from within, and regu-lations and tax structures, seem-ingly easier to infl uence as these are the primary mandate of any elected government within a sov-ereign nation.

In this particular case the eco-nomics, or better the practicabil-ity and success, are driven by the customer side. The customers in focus of Northern Gateway are the booming Asian markets, which already have value-add infrastructure in place and are de-pendent on oil crude supplies to justify the large-scale investments made, and of course to defend the jobs that go along with them.

Breaking a single product into three or four different products far from the market would addition-ally increase shipping costs, as the economies of scale are diluted.

So, the cards are stacked

against a refi nery in this region, at least within the current macroeco-nomic situation and apparent mar-ket needs on the customer side.

But there is a big thorn in the side of natural resource econo-mies. They are so highly depen-dent on externalities, that they are extremely diffi cult to plan and therefore to build and develop a region or a community.

The boom and bust is well

known and leaves regions scared, education systems unmanage-able and infrastructure spending highly unpredictable, as the nec-essary investments need to show a stable social and monetary return on these investments / tax dollars.

This is where adding value be-comes critical for the long-term prosperity of nations and so this project proposal by David Black is really not decided in the back-rooms of Beijing, the corporate towers in Calgary, or the fi nancial centres.

The decision to add value, to move western Canada up one level is made in Ottawa and the provincial legislature. It is a po-litical decision and should be on page one of the National Energy Policy.

Answering the question of what does Canada want to do with its resource abundance is im-minent.

Adding value within the pet-rochemical industry is highly re-warding not only on the product side, but also on the engineering and service side.

Canada, as one of the few democratic oil-rich countries, can drive a cleaner extraction and processing agenda than many other nations, and this know-how and technology then becomes an export product by itself, thereby allowing other countries to reduce the environmental impacts, which helps all, as global warming is not decided or solved in Canada alone.

We should be thankful that Black has opened this discussion.

To those that confront him with mere self-interest, a quick quote from Alexis de Tocqueville is in order: “Self-interest properly understood is different. It means appreciating that paying attention to everyone else’s self-interest –in other words to the common wel-fare – is in fact a precondition for one’s own ultimate well-being.”

It is a mark of pragmatism that looking out for the other guy isn’t just good for the soul – it’s good for business.

Dear Sir:While I appreciate

Malcolm Baxter’s ref-erence in his column of Aug. 8, 2012, to me as an effective advocate for the environment, for the record I am not an ecotourism operator, and consider myself an advocate for civil so-ciety and a community organizer, rather than simply an “environmen-talist”.

And I have no in-tention of getting into a debate with him over the musings of an ob-scure German chemist who was on the Board of Directors of Shell Oil Germany, and who was selected by climate change deniers as Ger-many’s top environmen-talist. And who frankly admits he is not a quali-fi ed climate change sci-entist.

Mr. Baxter approach-es this issue like all the other climate change deniers – cherrypicking so-called “science” in order to validate their particular world view.

But anyone with a cheap laptop and an Internet connection can Google up a whole slew

of ill-qualifi ed people with weird opinions on climate change. Bax-ter’s pejorative refer-ence to the “Church of Climate Change” con-fi rms his ideas on cli-mate change are rooted in politics, not science.

He has offered up unqualifi ed speculation - untested, unverifi ed, and lacking in peer re-view – as “science”. It is not science: it’s opin-ion.

Baxter obviously should understand what science is. Science is nei-ther a collection of facts (that are called data), nor is it speculation, but instead it is a process of inquiry and investiga-tion that includes rig-orous peer review by colleagues. Ironically, a real climate change skeptic, funded by the petro chemical billion-aire Koch Brothers, has recently released a re-

port on the very subject Baxter writes about, the climate change science (process) presented by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a group rep-resenting thousands of climate change scien-tists.

I refer to recent work done by Dr. Richard Muller, who is a pro-fessor of physics at UC Berkeley, a MacArthur Fellow and co-founder

of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project. If you don’t understand the scien-tifi c process, you don’t get to be a physicist at Berkeley (which has more Nobel laureates than any other Universi-ty in the world). Muller was also one of the prin-ciple critics of Al Gore’s “hockey stick” graph, initially claiming that the mathematics behind it was fl awed. He is per-

haps the most highly qualifi ed and credible skeptic in regard to the science around climate change. So he did what real scientists do: he joined with other highly qualifi ed scientists and peer reviewed the IPCC work, and he recently published the results of two years of his and his team’s examination of the science (process) around investigations into climate change, and

in particular the work of the IPCC. He concluded that the consensus of the science community that the earth has warmed by 1.6 C is correct, and fur-ther, that the evidence is now overwhelming that this warming is human-induced. He said that the IPCC work was well and correctly done. This work was funded not by environmen-talists or by Baxter’s phantom church of cli-mate change but by the world’s leading funders ($60 million) of cli-mate change deniers. It has shaken the climate change denier world to its core. Nor will I de-fend the environmental movement, which has been epically ineffec-tive in communicating the importance of this issue to the public.

Some in the environ-mental movement have been as silly about cli-mate change science as the worst of the climate change deniers.

They often confuse weather with climate, and in the worst cases simply exaggerate, skew and twist information.

The situation is dire enough without having to be exaggerated.

But I hope Baxter is right – wouldn’t it be grand if we could all just go on living unex-amined and selfi sh lives with not a care about the world our grandchildren will inherit?

I, too, am a skeptic. I don’t believe society, or governments, are yet willing to address this issue rationally or ef-fectively.

This failure has its roots in our collective unwillingness to signifi -cantly change behav-iours that are at the root of climate change.

In order to fi ll in-creasingly banal and empty lives, many of us continue to lead un-examined lives in the pursuit of “things”, when the only things we know that can cre-ate true happiness are family, friends, free-dom to believe what we want and worship as we will, as well as health, and being secure with-in a civil society. And maybe wild places, fi sh-ing and good wine. The only people who can fi x climate change are the people who caused it.

Humanity will get serious about this issue when we recognize it is

in our self-interest to do so - when we can either make a buck fi xing it or it becomes a simple is-sue of survival.

We may get to it in time, but then, maybe not. Our predicament has to get a whole lot uglier is my unscientifi c and unqualifi ed opinion. And I hope I am wrong about that.

Baxter’s lack of journalistic integrity in offering up the opinion of a quack as science condemns himself to the most horrible church of all – the church of the irrelevant.

Dear Sir:I enjoyed reading

about the work of Ka-lum Ventures in trying different ways to work in the woods (“Select logging sees success,” The Terrace Standard, Aug. 21, 2012).

It looks like selection logging gives them a tool to meet cultural and environmental needs in sensitive areas, and to be strategic in select-ing what products come

from the forest.However, I do need to

point out an error in your article, where you state that the Skeena-Nass Centre for Innovation in Resource Econom-ics (SNCIRE) has been working as a consultant to Kalum Ventures. This is not the case.

SNCIRE is not a consultant. SNCIRE is a non-profi t organization that identifi es, develops and promotes opportu-

nities to build a resilient and sustainable natural resource economy in the region.

We support and cel-ebrate everyone whose work helps to strengthen our communities by di-versifying the economy.

Dear Sir:I regularly bring my kids to George Little Park

and, nine times out of 10, I see dogs that are off leash.

Owners allow their pets to run freely and poop in the park and, twice in the past week, I have observed dogs defecating in the park while the owners neglected to clean up after them.

Do the owners not realize young children could step in the dog feces? I wonder how peo-ple can be so irresponsible and inconsiderate.

We are talking about raw sewage. This is a health hazard- a question of hygiene and public health, not to mention safety. Children at play could startle a dog, prompting an attack.

I feel very uneasy about letting my kids play in the park when there are strange dogs roaming

about. It has come to the point where I am think-ing of avoiding the park.

I wonder why there are pet laws if they are not being enforced.

I pay taxes to have the city install signs and “poop bags” at Ferry Island for owners to pick up after their dogs, yet the island is littered with dog feces.

It seems there are always animals running around off-leash. Why bother with the signs and bags if the authorities are not enforcing the laws?

I do not feel safe in our city’s parks and am infuriated by how our tax money is disappearing down the drain.

Melina Jacques, Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir:Greetings from

the Great Bear Rain-forest, smack dab on the proposed tankerroute.

C’mon folks, don’t get bamboozled by Da-vid Black’s recent pipe dream.

The proposalfor a $13 billion refin-ery north of Kitimat is nothing but a last ditcheffort by the back-room boys in Premier Christy Clark’s camp to save the Liberals’sorry posteriors.

It is just another part of her sugges-tion that Enbridgecan get B.C.’s ap-proval for the North-ern Gateway pipe-lines if there’s enougheconomic benefit for this province.

Not only is Black’s proposal nevergoing to fly, it also

doesn’t change any of the reasons for rejectingeither the pipeline or the tanker traffic.

It would still mean piping diluted bitu-men from the tar sands to Kitimatthrough avalanche-prone mountains and over salmon-bear-ing rivers, in whichthe inevitable pipeline leak would be devas-tating.

It would still mean hundreds of tankers negotiat-ing the treacherousDouglas Channel each year.

It would still mean trusting En-bridge – a corporation with a most dubioustrack record, and cava-lier attitude toward safety.

They’ve spent over$800 million so far and haven’t succeeded

in cleaning up the dil-bit (diluted bitumen) spill on the Kalamazoo River in Michigan that took place in 2010.

Black’s proposal does absolutely noth-ing to mitigate any of these risks.

In any case, after a year of trying, Black has no backers, no in-vestors.

He’s just bank-ing on people, like the mayor of Kiti-mat, getting on boardso that the pipeline will receive public support.

And then, when it isapproved, guess what? “Sorry, folks: it was a good idea, but I justcouldn’t get anyone to put up the $13 billion.”What will they try next to convince us?

A MAN who shoplifted with his baby will spend one year following con-ditions to curb his be-haviour.

Clay Engel, 24, was sentenced to a condi-tional discharge of 12 months probation with conditions after plead-ing guilty to one charge of theft under $5,000 and one charge of at-tempting to escape law-ful custody by Judge Calvin Struyk in Ter-race provincial court.

On Feb. 10, police

reported that a shoplift-er had been arrested by the loss prevention offi -cer of Save on Foods.

When he heard that police had been called, he attempted to leave with his baby, police said.

Police arrested him when they arrived and called the other parent to come get the baby.

Engel is forbidden from going to Save on Foods and from being within 20 metres of the store. He must also

write a letter of apol-ogy to the store’s loss prevention offi cer and to complete 20 hours of community work ser-vice.

Engel will not have to provide a DNA sample to police and does not have to pay a victim fi ne surcharge.A conditional discharge means that if the per-son follows the court-ordered conditions for a specifi c time period then he will not have a criminal record.

By Samantha Garvey

A COLLABORATIVE effort took place last week on the banks of Williams Creek to collect eggs and sperm from 210 sockeye salmon to be reared in a controlled facility.

The annual egg-take, called the Fry Outplant Program that’s part of the Sockeye Recov-ery Program, has taken place for fi ve years and provides a safeguard for sockeye returns.

Margaret Kujat, a contractor working alongside the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), led a crew of more than 10 workers and volunteers last week to net 105 spawning females in or-der to collect the eggs.

Last Wednesday, the eggs caught a fl ight to Bella Coola where they will be reared at the Snootli Creek Hatch-ery and released as fry next spring. The target is 300,000 fry.

On Aug. 22, crews collected 105 males, expressed the sperm, or milt, and then con-tained and shipped it to Bella Coola on the same fl ight. But the effort is a multi-agency one.

Included is the Min-istry of Environment, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-sources including BC Timber Sales, the Lake-lse Watershed Stewards Society, the Terrace Salmonid Enhancement Society and the Kitselas First Nation.

“When everyone works together, it sure makes the job easier,” said Kujat.

The most important aspect of the program is to safeguard the sock-eye species, said Lana Miller, resource restora-tion biologist with DFO. If a catastrophic event took place one year, for example major fl oods when the eggs are in a sensitive state, “we have a safeguard,” she said.

Sockeye returns have declined by an alarming 92 per cent in the last three cycles, said Mill-er. That is three four-year life cycles totalling more than 12 years.

“We can’t narrow down the reason for low returns to one cause,

so it’s hard to come up with one response,” said Kujat.

For example, sock-eye provide a high value to commercial fi sheries, she said. “It’s kind of like the wild, wild west out there.” Once the salmon are 200 miles offshore, they are open for anybody to fi sh, from any country. She added that commercial fi shing from Japan and the U.S. would be examples of threats to salmon.

Habitat degradation is another major factor, which happens often when the river fl oods. As a result, eggs can be moved easily in the gravel and become a food source for small fi sh and land animals, Miller said.

For this reason, there are programs running simultaneously for habitat creation. Miller will be part of another DFO crew to build off-channel spawning habi-tats in Scully Creek and Williams Creek near the Old Lakelse Bridge.

Important to the pro-cess is following the Alaskan Sockeye Pro-tocol to ensure that the milt and eggs are healthy and disease-free.

There is still mortal-ity of the eggs after col-lection, hence a buffer of approximately 78,000 eggs more than would

make exactly 300,000. Since the program

began, the sockeye re-turns have stabilized. But the program will only continue as long as the funding does.

“(This) might be our last year,” said Miller.

At the moment, the money for both the egg take and habitat creation come from the Pacifi c Salmon Commission, which is an internation-al body of the U.S. and Canada.

Spawning salmon are either four or fi ve years old. Last year, there were a high number of fi ve-year-old salmon in the counts, which led Miller to believe that this year may be low for spawning salmon.

But so far the num-bers are encouraging.

During the fi rst physical count, where crews walk the creek and count the salmon by hand, 2,500 salmon were found. “Some-times, (2,500) is the en-tire return,” Miller said, adding that the number will go up, making this year’s return higher than expected.

Another good sign is the discovery of eggs higher up the water-shed, meaning enough fi sh used the down-stream habitat to force additional fi sh to travel farther into the river,

said Miller.

A PRINCE Rupert man faces charges after an alleged altercation with a grocery store worker in Terrace earlier this month.

Gordon Pagens, 20, has been charged with theft, assault, and three counts of breach of pro-bation, said police in a release Aug. 21.

On August 5, the Loss Prevention Offi cer of Save On Foods was allegedly assaulted by a man he arrested for

theft, said police.The man then reached

for a knife in a sheath at his waist, at which point another store worker stepped in and assisted the Loss Prevention Of-fi cer to restrain the man, the release continued.

Police took custody of the man, who was on conditions to not be in possession of weapons, including knives, and seized the knife, said the release.

Offi cers also seized

from the man a lighter, ear bud style head-phones, a key, and a knife that the man had stated were stolen from

a semi truck/trailer parked in the industrial area of Terrace that he was sleeping in, said police.

If these items belong to you, contact Const. Matt Anderson at the Terrace RCMP detach-ment.

Rupert man charged with theft

POLICE WERE called to the Northwest Regional Airport last week after an airline refused to let a man board his fl ight because of his level of intoxication.

The incident, which took place in the 24-hour period ending at 8 a.m. Aug. 24, resulted in the man, 65, be-ing arrested for public intoxication.

“He was belligerent with Hawkair staff and uncooperative with police,” indicated a RCMP press release.

During the same 24-hour period, offi cers patrolling downtown arrested eight men, ages 19, 50, 56, 49, 23, 20, 19 and 52, and one 18-year-old wom-an on separate incidents and locations for public intoxication.

RCMP caught up in corporate duelTHE LOCAL RCMP detachment found itself in the midst of a nation-al argument between broadcasting companies after a letter of support was sent to the federal government on behalf of Astral Media which owns the local CFTK television station and attached AM and FM radio outlets.

Telecommunications and broadcasting giant BCE Bell, which owns CTV, has a $3.4 bil-lion bid in to buy Astral

pending government approval.

But three other multi-media companies, Cogeco Cable, Eastlink and Quebecor, object, saying too many televi-sion holdings would be

concentrated under one owner if the deal goes through.

The local RCMP de-tachment was drawn in when it sent a support letter requested by As-tral’s local broadcaster.

That letter was called inappropriate by offi cials from the three companies because the RCMP is taxpayer-fi -nanced.

“It was not my intent to represent the RCMP

in my submission, nor is it representative of the offi cial position of the RCMP,” said Ter-race RCMP inspector Dana Hart, Aug. 22.

“I was simply sup-porting a request from

a local broadcaster who has been supportive of our detachment’s efforts to make this community safe.”

The three companies made their complaints to Canadian Heritage

minister James Moore.In addition to the lo-

cal RCMP detachment, they said Telefi lm Can-ada also sent a letter.

It’s another federal agency supported by taxpayers.

That fi ling resulted in an informal Labour Relations Board hear-ing this spring.

It dealt with the method in which layoff notices were distributed to instructors and came under the jurisdiction of the Academic Workers Union’s contract with the college.

The new action, because it deals with legislation, falls under the jurisdiction of the courts, said Oliver.

“We’ve sorted out the collective agreement issues and we need to sort this out now,” said Oliver.

“The senior admin-istration have taken this ready-fi re-aim ap-proach,” she said. “It is important that they fol-low the law.”

In a release concern-ing the court fi ling, Henning sought to re-lieve worries.

“We want to assure students coming to cam-pus in a couple of weeks that they should feel secure that instructors and staff are on the job and there to help their learning experience,” Henning said. “These are internal matters that will be resolved in due course.”

While the college has had to cut employees and operations spend-ing, it did receive a one-time government grant of $839,000 this spring to bolster trades training offerings.

And last week the college also received $1.2 million from the province for needed maintenance work and building and equipment upgrades at its various campuses across the northwest.

Flight leader ■SGT. SAMUEL Christiansen of the 747 Royal Air Cadet Squadron, walks with the Reviewing Offi cer through his fl ight of graduates in Advanced Aviation at CFB Comox in July. He was chosen to be Flight Commander of the “Tutor Flight.”

THE REGION has been given a gift of a choral library housed here in Terrace.

Katherine vanKampen, who ran a summer music theatre camp here last week, donated her choral library, which fi lls a fi ling cabinet plus three more drawers of hanging fi les after seeing a need for it here.

“The library will be accessible to everyone in the Pacifi c Northwest who teaches choir, both public and private, and will save teachers having to spend huge amounts of money on purchas-ing music for their groups,” says Bon-nie Juniper, president of the Pacifi c Northwest Music Festival, which put on the music camp.

A choral library consists of many copies of many selections of music, in all different styles and languages, for different ranges of singers voices, ex-plains Juniper.

“This is why this donation is so fantastic,” says Juniper.

“It costs a lot of money for a choir to purchase just one piece to sing, as you need a copy for every singer, plus the conductor and the pianist.

“Having so many selections donat-ed to the Terrace area will be a won-derful asset for all choirs for many years to come.”

VanKampen had an international singing career and is now a vocal teacher and festival adjudicator – she was one of the adjudicators at this year’s festival.

The choral library is housed at the Cedar River Physiotherapy Clinic.

TERRACE CAN boast about many local food growers and providers, including having the “champagne of honey.”

Fireweed honey has its own colour – almost clear – and is considered the best in the world, says beekeeper Cynthia Ridler, of Mountain Meadow Honey.

“Once you taste it, you’re going to be spoiled,” she says.

Ridler started with a couple of beehives in 1994 and around 2004, she started doing it as a business, she says. She sells it at the farmers market if there’s a lot of it, otherwise she sells to local people and online to some friends.

And thanks to a city bylaw, backyard bees are allowed here with certain restriction – for example, a backyard beekeeper is only allowed to have one or two hives.

“A lot of backyard beekeepers just want one or two hives for their own honey and to get back to a little more control on their own food sources,” she says. At the fall fair this year, Ridler and others plan on doing a honey extraction demonstration by hand and with an electrical extractor and hand out infor-mation among other things, says Ridler.

How does she know that her bees are producing fi reweed honey when they can go to many different plants? “The signifi cant crop is fi reweed,” she says, adding that to call it fi reweed honey, a majority of the fl owers in the area have to be fi reweed.

Store bought honey can be pasteurized and she says it’s not clear why.

“Honey is one substance on earth that never spoils,” says Ridler.

Honey has been found in pyramids and the Egyptians used it to embalm people, she explains.

It was also used for wax and is good because it doesn’t produce carbon monoxide and cleans the air, she says.

The beekeepers at the fall fair plan to hand out information; some of which is little known things about bees and honey.

How much honey she gets from her hives de-pends on the weather.

“Some years we have hives with over 300 pounds of honey each. Last year I never took any honey at all,” she says, adding that this summer has been bet-ter. “We need a combination of it (rain and sun). Bees don’t thrive in extremes,” she says.

Ridler invites everyone to come out to the fair and ask questions of the beekeepers.

“We can provide them with information, how to get started,” she says about those who might be in-terested in starting their own hives.

Ridler knows the bees so well, she doesn’t wear protective clothing much any more. If you’re checking inside the hive where the queen is and it’s a nice cool day, you could destroy the brood stock and you’re going to get stung, she says.

“On a sunny, hot day where they’re actually try-ing to cool off, they’re happy you’re doing that and they don’t bother you a bit,” she says, adding she might wear the veil sometimes because bees will fl y up in your face and startle you, which startles them and can lead to getting stung. And it’s been determined that bees get to know you, she says.

Backyard beekeepers will be at the Thornhill Community Centre during the fall fair Sept. 8 - 9.

S uitcase packed. Check!Journals, books, e-reader,

readied … Check!Animals tended. Plants wa-

tered. Check and check.House-sitter briefed and in place.

Gratefully checked!Camera, cell phone, last minute

emails—have it, have it, done.Folks we’re visiting notifi ed about

when to approximately expect us … Yep.

I could go on, but since I stretched the truth up there when I said my suit-case was packed (it almost is), I should move along.

It’s the end of August, a phrase that in my house translates roughly as, “Hit the road and holiday it up.”

I’m not sure why we always go away at the end of August—especially since it’s one of Terrace’s best months. Gar-dens are almost ready for harvest, the river is full of fi sh, and the sun tends to show up and make everything extra beautiful with its warm golden glow. Yet go we do.

Maybe we leave to avoid the truth that days are getting shorter again. (It was dark by 9:45—9:45!—tonight. Wail, mourn, lament!). Or maybe it’s one last nod to summer, a celebratory road trip farewell. Then again, maybe it’s just because we’re creatures of hab-it.

I look forward to the long hours of driving—to the idle chatting and occa-sional deep comments. (Note: what is “deep” midway through a 16-hour drive is usually more hilarious and/or odd than weighty, but I digress.) I’m excited about the audio stories we signed out of the library.

I like the way my mind wanders and skips ahead to future plans, then dips back to past memories, as I watch the highway stretching out ahead of us and the changing scenery streaming by. The little communities we drive through spark my imagination. I get excited ev-ery time I see cows.

I’m more than slightly awed by the crazy diversity of our landscape up here in B.C.: riotous rivers and twisty-turny bends through green, green, green mountainous terrain—to honey gold fi elds as far at the eye can see—to burnt copper earth rising in jagged points and cliffs, decorated with sparse scrub brush—to the rock faces and ravines of the Fraser Canyon …

The drive from Terrace to Van is a

special part of living up here. Whenever I do it, I’m hit with all sorts of senti-mental memories and nostalgia. But I guess that makes sense. I’ve lived in the North all my life. I’ve travelled that highway as a little girl eager to visit my grandparents. Daydreamed along it as a nine-year-old. Motored down it as a teen on my way to meet up with this person or that. Done the return trip in three days more than once. Journeyed along it on almost every holiday my husband and I have taken. Likewise, it’s been the path toward almost all our adventures with our kids.

This year the trip has some new twists. One of our stopovers is at my daughter’s house—fun, but also weird! And when we go to the Island, we’re hitting some different spots: most nota-bly the Sooke Potholes.

I’d be lying if I said a change of scenery isn’t refreshing, that it isn’t a wonderful (and needed) break to visit unfamiliar places and have new experi-ences. But at the end of the day, I don’t travel to get away so much as I do to connect more closely—to the people I’m so fortunate to have in my life and to the gorgeous province I call home.

It’s not too late for a road trip before fall schedules fi ll up and tighter time constraints rule. Go gallivanting—and in good Terrace tradition, no doubt we’ll run into each other in the most unexpected place.

But now I have to go. My half-packed suitcase is calling, plus the word “tradition” reminded me—yes, we have iPods we can plug into the ste-reo for the trip, but I want some of our old music for memory lane’s sake. CDs . . . Check!

If you would like to remember someone special, such as aloved one or a friend,

Margaret A. Best passed away quietly on May 31, 2012, in Vancouver BC. She was pre-deceased by her husband, George on Dec. 23, 2003 and son, George on Oct. 21, 2001. Gordon (Gail) Best, Bev (Alex) Williamson, and Brenda (Al) Small, along with her 9 grand-kids and 7 great grand-kids, will miss her presence in this world. She will be buried August, 18, 2012 in Burnaby, BC.

To have, to love, and then to part is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.

There will always be a heartache and often a silent tear, but always the precious memories of the days when you were here. We hold you close within our hearts and there you remain to walk throughout our lives until we meet again. Remembering you is easy, we do it everyday, but missing you is a heartache that never goes away.

We are ever grateful for having had you in our lives. There is an unbroken thread that is woven from love and it keeps our family always together.

Nothing is as real as the moments that we shared; they will live on in our memories forever.

We will always love and miss you deeply, Lydia, Brett, & Marisa

In loving memory of

Lorrie Arnold-SmithOctober 22, 1955 - August 25, 2009

Winning runs in the family Father and son take top spots in out-of-town race THE CHRISTENSENS, long-standing members of Terrace’s athletic community, can’t even go on vacation without running a marathon.

Mike Christensen and son Thomas were on a family vacation in Manitoba earlier this month, where they competed in the Birtie River Run, in Birtle, Mani-toba.

The 4th annual event hosted 59 run-ners, the majority of competitors hailing from Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Except, of course, the Christensens from northern B.C.

“I think Mike and Thomas are the longest travellers to date,” said race or-ganizer Steve Desjardins. “The run is getting more popular and is attracting runners from around Manitoba and Sas-katchewan.”

The event had four races, a two-kilo-metre run, a fi ve-kilometre run, a 10-ki-lometre run, and a half marathon. The two-kilometre run had six runners, the fi ve-kilometre run had 13 runners, the 15-kilometre run had 19 runners and the half marathon had 21 runners.

Thomas kicked off the day by win-ning the fi ve-kilometre race with a time of 17:42.

Mike followed suit, running comfort-ably with last year’s winner for the fi rst 15 kilometres of the event and then tak-ing off in the last portion to win the half marathon with a time of 1:31:40 and match his son’s winning performance.

Thomas, who just returned from com-peting in the triathlon event at the B.C. Summer Games, was encouraged to en-ter the race by his triathlon coach Willie Muller.

Thomas placed 10th at the B.C. Sum-mer Games, held earlier this summer in

Surrey. The Manitoba run was Thomas’ fi rst

ever running race. He is also a devoted swimmer.

Willie told me to enter him even if he protests, because his running is really coming along, said Mike.

And it’s a good thing he did. “Although he still contends that he wasn’t happy at the time that we entered him. He now concedes that it was okay,” said Mike.

Although Thomas entered the race on a whim, Mike had planned on enter-ing the race for some time as part of this year’s training.

After winning the All Season’s half marathon for the last three years, he de-cided to start his training earlier this year.

He found the Birtle River Run event on the Manitoba Running Association website and pre-registered, knowing he would be there on vacation at the time.

“I am a little more motivated in my training this year because this may be the last year I am able to beat my son in a race,” he said.

“He already kicks my butt in swim-ming.”

Thomas also attended a four-day swimming camp with the Manitoba Mar-lins at the Pan Am Pool in Winnipeg the week after the race.

Late last week, Mike said the pair were getting ready to compete in last week-end’s 10-kilometre King of the Mountain Race.

“Thomas says he doesn’t want to do it,” he said.

“But I’m going with the coaches ad-vice,” he said, and entered him anyway, noting that the life lesson from all of this is: “Listen to your coach.”

SEVEN-YEAR-OLD CONNOR McCarron, who is currently ranked 3rd in 50cc seven to eight-year-old class, gets some air in Smithers on July 29. “He’s had an incred-ible fi rst year racing,” said photographer Tanya McCarron.

Motocross riders rep Terrace on the road AS THE motocross season nears the fi nish line, with just one more weekend of racing on Sept. 15 and 16 in Prince George, Terrace Motocross Association (TMXA) riders are sitting high in the provincial standings.

Terrace’s riders travel around the province all spring and summer to Brit-ish Columbia Motocross As-sociation (BCMA) events. This season saw eight week-end events in Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake, Smithers and here in Ter-race.

Each weekend includes two full motocross races (one Saturday and one Sun-day) for a total of 16 motos each season. Each moto con-sists of two races, one in the

morning and one in the af-ternoon in each class.

“Many riders ride in 2 or 3 events which normally means 4 or 6 races each day,” said Ken Parkes of the TMXA.

The riders who attend these events “have represent-ed Terrace well,” he said.

“These riders promote our track and our area, and in turn many of the provin-cial riders learn about the Terrace track and are en-couraged to come to Terrace for our two events” he said, noting that the race in July hosted many people from out of town who stayed an extra week to camp and fi sh.

“The TMXA has spawned several new riders in the Ter-race/Kitimat area that are

now going out and making a mark on the provincial scene and placing high in the Pro-vincial BCMA standings,” he said.

Here are the standings: Ty Calcutt is sitting in

fi rst place in Jr. MX1 and Jr. MX3. Rice Brandt and Evan Pinto are fi rst and sec-ond place respectively in Jr. B. Andrew Kennedy is fi rst place in MX1. Jessie Lanterman is second place in schoolboy. Joey Parkes is second place in 85cc 12 - 16-year-old. Austin Devost holds third place in a tight battle for the 65cc class and seven-year-old Connor Mc-Carron is ranked third in 50cc seven to eight-year-old class, for his fi rst year rac-ing.

BIG THANK YOU TO:

Big D & family from Chase AutoBarnett Family & Joel for all your help

By SAMANTHA GARVEY

TWO LIGHTNING-CAUSED fi res in the northwest that both began two weeks ago were left to burn for the benefi t of the forests.

A 1,400-hectare (3,459 acres) blaze near Morice Lake is “chewing away at what-ever fuel it can,” said regional wildfi re coordinator Brian Grunewald with the Northwest Fire Centre Aug. 25.

“We are fi nding it is do-ing more good than harm,” he

said.Grunewald added that a

3,500-hectare (8,649 acres) wildfi re outside Boya Lake Park, east of Dease Lake, was burning in a fi re-dominated ecology, meaning the health of the forest depends on occa-sional fi res.

As of Aug. 25, both blazes had stopped expanding to new area and were being monitored by wildfi re crews as part of modifi ed responses.

From Aug. 20 to 25, crews found another 11 abandoned

campfi res that were not com-pletely out.

Despite an increase of rain, the fi re danger rating is still at high and the centre would like to remind the public to be dili-gent with fi re use.

To report a wildfi re or un-attended campfi re, please call *5555 on your cell phone or call 1-800-663-5555 toll-free.

For the latest information on fi re activity, conditions and prohibitions, visit the Wildfi re Management Branch website: www.bcwildfi re.ca.

‘More good than harm’ caused by letting northern wildfi res burn

“[A blaze near Morice Lake is] chewing away at whatever fuel it can”– Brian Grunewald

Are the stocks of B.C.’s second largest salmon bearing river be-ing properly managed in 2012? Have they ever been managed

properly? To answer these important ques-tions we must ascertain what constitutes adequate management of an anadromous fi shery. Fortunately, the template for the proper management of salmon stocks ex-ists. It is called the Wild Salmon Policy (WSP), and it was cobbled together by fi sh-eries scientists for the use of civil servants in Fisheries and Oceans Canada, formerly, and more popularly, known as the Depart-ment of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO).

The policy is bright stuff that turns on the principle of sustainable development, a term coined by the far-seeing and game -changing UN commission chaired by for-mer Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Bruntland.

Flowing from the commission’s revolu-tionary recommendations was the idea that maintaining biological diversity was an es-sential component of sustainability of all resources and, ultimately, all planet life.

The principle of biodiversity recognizes that the whole is the sum of its parts and goes a step farther to assert that the health of the whole is determined by the health of its parts. It’s an enlightened concept that recognizes the connectedness of all things in the natural world. To use an anatomi-cal analogy, if you severed your thumb,

chances of your survival would be exceeding good, but your life after the accident would be changed for the worse. If, after this unfortu-nate event, you suffered the loss of various or-gans and body parts, your chance of survival would be diminished in-crementally.

The practical appli-cation of this profound, common-sense prin-ciple in salmon fi sheries convinced the fi sheries scientists and managers of the need to distin-guish between geneti-cally distinct branches of the same species.

In the WSP, published in 2005, these branches, or populations, are called conser-vation units or CUs. So, in the case of, say, steelhead, the question begs: How many conservation units of Skeena steelhead are there? Well, we know that steelhead from different rivers return at different times of the year, and that there are morphological differences between steelhead from differ-ent rivers.

As their DNA is gathered, there is ev-ery reason to believe it will demonstrate

that steelhead runs to each and every tributary in the Skeena drainage may carry unique ge-netic programming that optimizes their survival chances. Each may con-stitute a CU.

The application of the WSP and its cornerstone CUs is where the rub-ber hits the road. Under the WSP, with its fun-damental commitment to principles of genetic diversity and maintain-ing as broad a spectrum as possible, DFO has committed to manag-ing fi sheries such that no CU is extirpated. It is, therefore, incumbent

upon DFO to tell us how is it that the cur-rent fi shery regime on the Skeena where, in each case, steelhead are made to run gaunt-lets of gill nets, is going to be so surgically managed as to ensure the health of not just an aggregate population of steelhead but the sustainability of each and every steel-head CU?

How are gill nets, or seine nets, going to be used in such a way as to magically discriminate between not just steelhead but between individual CUs of every other

salmon species? Running a salmon fi shery in the environmentally sustainable fashion demanded by the WSP necessitates a radi-cal restructuring of current practice.

Since its inception, the operative mana-gerial paradigm governing the west coast salmon fi sheries has been to optimize the catch for the commercial fi shing industry. The government institution charged with the welfare of fi sh on behalf of the citizens of Canada has instead been the servant of industry. That this has been so almost since the beginning of the European fi shery is scandalous and is largely responsible for all the fi sheries woes we have today.

Clearly, there is no place for non-selec-tive methods of catching fi sh in a sustain-able fi shery. Because nets are indiscrimi-nate, there would be no nets anywhere, including First Nations nets in the river, with the exception of beach seines, which can be used in a selective manner. The en-tire commercial fi shery would be conduct-ed in the river with traps, wheels and dip nets, and fi sheries closer to source of the rivers would be favoured.

Since there is nothing more vital to the survival of fi sh than healthy habitats, the habitat section of the fi sheries department would have to be large and have as much weight as any other section of the institu-tion, and fi sheries habitat legislation would have to be strengthened, not weakened as is happening under the current government.

Sports ScopeA LOOK ahead at what’s on the sports horizon and what local teams have been up to. To have your sporting or athletic event included, email [email protected].

Volleyball THE TRU WolfPack youth volleyball camp hosted by coach Pat Hennelly is on now. The camp runs from August 27 to 30 at Caledonia.

HockeyTHE SIXTH Warrior Goalie training camp is back at the Sportsplex. The fi ve-day camp started on Aug. 27 and runs until the Aug. 31. Started in Williams Lake, the camp hosts over a dozen young goalies who want to sharpen their skills, both on and off the ice.

TWO TERRACE hockey players, defenseman Kenny Nordstrom and forward Jack Lofroth, have survived the fi rst cut at the Caribou Cougars 2012/2013 evaluation camp in Prince George and will be heading into the Labour Day camp this weekend with 48 other contenders. Nordstrom played on the Cougars as a 15-year-old rookie last year. The Cougars will be releasing their roster on Sept. 15.

Drag racing The Terrace Drag Racing Association is hosting its annual year-end competition Sept. 1 and 2 at the Terrace-Kitimat airport. Saturday will see a King of the YXT race, pitting Terrace riders against each other while Sunday will be Points Brackets Races. Cost is $10 with discounts for children and seniors.

Dragon boating THE SEVENTH Annual Lakelse Dragon Boat Regatta will be held Saturday, Sept. 8, at Furlong Bay Provincial Park, Lakelse Lake. The day starts with team practices in the morning followed by opening ceremonies at 11 a.m. Mixed races run from noon until 5 p.m. and are around 250 metres in length. Twelve teams of 20 are expected. Barbecue and awards to follow.

WHEN 11-YEAR-OLD Cody Bailey travelled to Prince Rupert to compete in his fi rst golf tournament, he didn’t think he had much of a shot – especially when he saw that the athletes he was competing against were between 13 and 18 years old.

But Cody left the Prince Rupert Junior Jubilee on Aug. 12 as the low-net winner, shooting 103 on the par 70 course on both days.

In golf, the low-net winner is the player who shoots the best overall compared to his handicap, while the low-gross winner is the golfer who shoots the best out of the whole fi eld. Cody’s handicap right now is 25.

But the tournament wasn’t his personal best. “That was two weeks ago,” said Cody, at the Skee-na Valley Golf Course after participating in the last day of the junior summer golf program.

“I shot 83.” “He’s probably out here fi ve, six times a week,”

said his Dad, Allan, noting that golf is pretty much all Cody wants to do.

The Skeena Valley Golf Course junior program ran all summer and Cody was an avid participant.

Even though the program is over, Tuesday nights are still designated junior night at the course.

Cody, who attends Uplands Elementary, also plays soccer and hockey. But golf is his passion. He’s even started beating his dad out on the course – and teaching his younger sister the ways of the green.

Cody started playing over three years ago with his dad, shooting balls at the range and taking a few shots here and there out playing rounds on the course.

He won a fun tournament put on by the junior program last summer.

But the Junior Jubilee in Prince Rupert was his fi rst serious, out-of-town competition.

Cody is hoping to get a job at the golf course next summer, and he’s already talking about the B.C. Summer Games.

The low-net award is in memory of Francis Ma-rie Wharton Loeppky, who was a junior at the Cen-tennial Golf Course.

She died on the highway between Rupert and Terrace in 2003 and her mother has been giving out the award since 2004 and will do so until 2014. The plaque reads: “May a spark of her spirit and deter-mination remain within you.”

“It’s a real honour,” said Cody’s Dad.
