HERITAGE PARK Museum curator Kelsey Wiebe wants to update a history of an army mutiny which took place here.
Historyrevived
By ANNA KILLEN
THE FEDERAL government will not be asking the country's highest court to overturn a series of court decisions which ruled that the Kit-selas First Nation is owed compen-sation for a land transaction dating back over 120 years.
The government had 60 days to file an appeal with the Su-preme Court of Canada following last year's Federal Court decision which upheld an earlier Specific Claims Tribunal ruling that dates back to 1891 and deals with a 10.5 acre parcel of land located on the banks of the Skeena River on tradi-tional Kitselas territory.
The tribunal, which acts like a court with a judge and was set up
in 2008 to hear cases involving First Nations claims on specific pieces of land outside of the treaty process, found that the land, which contains a former village site, was wrongly excluded from the origi-nal Kitselas reserve allotment in 1891. A Hudson Bay Company warehouse was located on the site, now known as Lot 113 and home to a provincial park.
The federal government ap-pealed the tribunal's finding to the federal court. It was the first time the government appealed a tribunal ruling and the case was heard over two days last April.
But the federal court ruled in June that the favourable to Kitselas ruling was valid, and the govern-ment's opposition to the ruling was
not, leaving the window open for the crown to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Stan Ashcroft, the lawyer rep-resenting Kitselas, confirmed the federal crown did not seek leave to appeal, meaning the tribunal pro-cess now moves to either a com-pensation hearing or settlement.
In appealing the tribunal's deci-sion, the government argued that it should not be obligated to provide financial compensation for lands the government wrongly neglected to in-clude in original reserve allotments and that if there is an obligation, it should be shared with the province.
While the judge did not agree, he ruled that in fact, the tribunal process stated the issue of com-pensation – and whether or not the
province has a share in the liability of however much compensation would eventually be owed by Can-ada – was to be decided after the issue of the claim’s validity. Now that the appeals process is com-plete, that issue of compensation and whether the province shares that responsibility can be dealt with. The tribunal can award up to $150 million in federal money.
The Kitselas case gives prec-edent to other specific claims cases across the country, especially the Williams Lake Indian Band's spe-cific claims tribunal ruling, simi-larly favourable and which is also being appealed by the federal gov-ernment. That appeal will be heard in federal court in May.
Last year, Specific Claims Tri-
bunal chair Justice Harry Slade released his fifth annual report on the tribunal, warning that the tribu-nal was in serious jeopardy if the federal government did not provide more resources and staff.
“I am the only full time member, and the chairperson of the tribunal. My term expires in December, 2015. Without the appointment of one or more full time members in the interim there will be no ability to implement a succession plan or service the case load. The tribunal will fail,” he writes. “These con-cerns have been raised with the [federal] Minister of Justice and the [federal] Minister of Aborigi-nal Affairs and Northern Develop-ment. There has been no adequate response from government.”
Feds won’t appeal Kitselas land ruling
By JOSH MASSEY
A MANUSCRIPT that’s at least 30 years old chroni-cling one of Terrace’s more remarkable historical events will be updated and published if a Terrace and District Museum Society grant application comes through.
Heritage Park Museum curator Kelsey Wiebe par-tially credits Hollywood interest back in the eighties for the city council of the day deciding to hire a student to write a history of the 1944 mutiny by Canadian soldiers based in Terrace.
Now Wiebe has applied for a grant from the federal World War Commemorations Community Fund to fi-nance the project which will include both printing cop-ies of an expanded version of the book as well as creat-ing an online version.
“Our project is to update the manuscript to add anec-dotes from people who experienced it with maps from the Department of National Defence,” said Wiebe, add-ing that this will include more photos, interviews and letters from survivors.
More than 1,600 Canadian troops mutinied for five days here in late November 1944, worried they’d be sent to Europe to replenish depleted forces readying for a final push to end the Second World War.
The troops were conscripts and up until then, only those who volunteered were sent overseas.

RCMP CORPORAL Philip Crack examines line of vehicles at Tim Hortons drive-through at Keith Ave./Hwy 16 and Kalum. Motorists could be fined if they block the driveway and sidewalk.
MOTORISTS WHO enjoy their Tim Hortons coffee in the morning needs to be aware they could be breaking a traffic law while wait-ing in line at the restau-rant chain’s Keith Ave./Hwy16 location.
The warning issued by Terrace RCMP fol-lows a complaint made about traffic spilling across the sidewalk and on to Kalum Street at the entrance to the drive-through.
“Police will be mon-itoring this situation and issuing fines for those drivers insisting on blocking the flow of traffic and pedestrians,” said Corporal Philip Crack of the RCMP’s highway patrol.
“Drivers should con-sider using alternate routes so as not to con-tribute to this problem,” he said.
No complaints have yet to be received about traffic problems at the Tim Hortons Lake-lse Ave. location but a similar situation exists there, he said.
“Drivers making poor choices are creat-ing a traffic hazard at
both Tim Hortons loca-tions in Terrace, espe-cially between the hours of 7:30 and 9 a.m.,” said Crack.
If drivers can’t turn into the parking lot at the Tim Hortons on Keith and be off the street and the side-walk, then they should
go around the block or come back when they can turn without block-ing traffic, added Crack.
The fine may only be $40 for blocking a business entrance or exit or blocking traffic but repeat offenders can get a ticket of $196 and six points against their
driver’s licences.Drivers of large
trucks also contribute to traffic congestion on Keith/Hwy16 and Kalum by parking on the side of the road and running into the restau-rant, said Crack.
Tourists and others towing boats behind
their vehicles who then park on the road also add to the problem, he added.
Crack anticipates that after making mo-torists aware of their possible illegal behav-iour, that officers will then start enforcing the law.

OPEN HOUSEWITH THE number of business licences in the city now over the 1,100 mark at 1,133 – up ap-proximately 100 from a year ago – and the busi-ness cycle about to enter its busy time, a number of new enterprises have arrived as other changes have taken place.
Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce general manager Carol Fielding describes this spring as very much a waiting game for people within the local busi-ness community.
“A lot of the [lique-fied natural gas proj-ects] either have their environmental approv-als or are in the final stages. And now every-one’s waiting for those final investment deci-sions,” she said.
“There’s a lot of an-ticipation for what’s coming and perhaps it’s not coming as quickly as everyone thought.”
She noted that the economic impact from BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line, which finished con-struction the middle of last year, has now subsided, giving the business community a chance to catch up and prepare for the next round of large-scale economic activity.
“Compared to even four years ago, this has been a good winter,” she said of recent activ-ity. “I think the message for the business com-munity is don’t stop, keep moving forward. Because once it breaks loose, there’s no catch-ing your breath.”
Below is a represen-tative sampling of re-cent activity.
SimsonMaxwell
The light-industrial and service area of Keith Ave. west of the Sande Overpass contin-ues to grow.
The western Cana-dian firm of Simson-Maxwell, which sells as well as services indus-trial engines, is about to open a local branch in a building being con-structed by Progressive Ventures.
It’ll be Simson-Max-well’s sixth branch with
the next closest one be-ing Prince George and the others in Nanaimo, Port Coquitlam, Ed-monton and Calgary.
“We see a lot of po-tential in the area with LNG and other devel-opment,” says company official Ben Beeching of its decision to locate in Terrace.
The company al-ready has customers who would be involved in one way or another through LNG plant and pipeline construction, making it important for Simson-Maxwell to have a branch here, he said. Terrace’s cen-tral location as a sales and service centre and transportation hub with-in the region makes it additionally attractive, Beeching added.
“From Terrace we can cover the region,” he said.
Bravo Cleaning Solutions
Dave Reniero’s been operating a home-based window cleaning busi-
ness in Terrace for more than 15 years.
And when he decid-ed to expand into vehi-cle-detailing a former automotive repair shop location on Keith Ave. came open at about the same time.
“It fit the bill per-fectly when it came up for lease,” said Reniero who opened up at the spot late last year.
Reniero’s had three people on staff in addi-tion to himself over the winter and expects that to grow as spring turns into summer.
BandstraJust off of Keith, on
Blakeburn, Bandstra Transportation is ex-panding its Terrace de-pot. And it’s doing so thanks to two property purchases – a road al-lowance from the City of Terrace and a west-erly portion of land which once belonged to the now-defunct Ter-race Lumber Company and before that, Skeena Cellulose.

HOUSTON, B.C.-BASED construction company Hansma Construction at work on the Sunshine Inn on Hwy16 beside Kalum Tire. This is one of three hotels underway with one going up further west on the highway and the third in Thornhill.
Work at Bandstra has already started on a 10,000 square foot warehouse that will more than double the size of the company’s cur-rent warehouse space.
“We were getting pretty tight for space,” said Sid Bandstra of the decision to expand.
“We’re also developing our parking area and putting in a lay down area,” he said of space where the company’s trucks and trail-ers and other equipment can be kept.
The company is anticipating hiring sev-eral people as summer nears, mostly for its moving business but also for freight trans-portation with the latter prospect depending on general economic activity.
Terrace Mini StorageWhere once stood a propane business on
Keith there is now Terrace Mini Storage, which opened late last fall.
One of the owners, Claudine Basaraba, speaking from Kamloops, said the business plan had been to sell the property when the economic climate here was in a slump some years ago. “But when business took off, we decided to do this,” she said of the 107-unit storage facility.
The owners also have a small mini-stor-age in Williams Lake.
Andrew SheretFounded 120 years ago in Victoria, An-
drew Sheret, which sells plumbing, heating, HVAC and other supplies, is making Terrace its 22nd sales location within the province.
“We can see the growth in the area and believe there’s an opportunity there,” ex-plains company vice president Eric Findlay of its expansion decision.
Its Terrace home is to be the former Coast Tractor building on Keith, east of the Sande Overpass. Andrew Sheret has had a branch in Prince George for a number of years, giv-ing it a northern base from which to expand into the northwest, said Findlay.
The company also has a retail arm called Splashes in 20 of its other locations and will have a showroom here as well, he added.
Dulux PaintsAnother new company to the area is
Dulux Paints which now has an outlet on the block of Greig Ave. behind the Terrace Chrysler dealership.
“It’s because that’s where the economic activity is,” says Dave Rimmer, whose re-sponsible for the company’s western Cana-dian corporate stores.
“We looked at the economic indicators and we knew we needed to be in northern B.C. That’s where we think we should be in anticipation of the next five years, 10 years.”
The company’s closest location is Prince George, where it’s been for 35 years.
Aside from Terrace, the company went on a provincial expansion program last year, adding six stores in the Lower Mainland and one in the Okanagan for a total of 33 outlets.
“We’re expecting big things in B.C.,” said Rimmer of the company’s investment in the province. Nation-wide, Dulux has 250 out-lets reaching from coast to coast.
Peoples Drug MartTerrace is soon to be home to a Peoples
Drug Mart located right beside Save On
Foods at the Skeena Mall. Its one of two brands under the Peoples name with a Peo-ples Drug Mart having a larger retail foot-print than a smaller Peoples Pharmacy.
There’s a Peoples Pharmacy in Kitimat, for example.
Peoples, which is an all British Columbia entity, began 39 years ago when seven in-dependent pharmacists banded together for mass purchasing power benefits and other efficiencies.
“Each is independently-owned but yes, you could call it a cooperative where there’s the benefit of wholesale purchasing and sup-port and professional services,” says Frank Cucca who works at the Peoples head office in Burnaby.
Aside from Kitimat and soon here, the only other Peoples in northern B.C. is lo-cated in Mackenzie.
M & M MeatsAfter eight years in the Gobind Mall, M
& M Meats closed up in mid-March.“We really tried to sell the business, to
keep it in Terrace, but we just couldn’t find anyone with the right kind of entrepreneur-ial spirit,” said Glenn Kelly who was a fran-chise holder along with Darlene Reid.
Kelly, also the Kitimat-based manager for the industrial supplies firm of Acklands-Grainger, said juggling two enterprises was onerous.
“For me personally, it was eight years of going all out,” he said.
Kelly and Reid have also left Terrace for Smithers where Kelly will be the branch manager for the Smithers Ackland-Grainger outlet.
West Coast VapeThe devices they sell emit something like
smoke, however workers at West Coast Vape
are quick to point out that “vaping” should never be confused with the inhalation of to-bacco fumes.
So popular is the new form of nicotine intake that the Terrace shop that opened in February on Lakelse Ave. is devoted entirely to the industry.
“We are currently having the goal of changing people’s lives,” said West Coast Vape manager Danielle Nyman of the busi-ness team behind the new store.
“All three of us were smokers and the ef-fects of smoking, and the smell... climbing 1,200 stairs ... we decided to try something different, we tried vaping and we noticed a huge difference in our personal health, and it tasted good.”
One of the owners, Kalen Loeppky is from Terrace while the other owner, James Thorpe is from Kamloops where they are setting up a second shop.
Terrace Redi-MixA cement company called Terrace Redi-
Mix is opening up in an industrial area lo-cated between Canadian Tire and Skeena Sawmills at 3332 Earle.
The company is a division of West Fraser Concrete Ltd and has serviced the Terrace area since 1992. West Fraser Concrete head offices are located in Telkwa. In December it purchased the company from local own-er Richard Green who is still currently the manager in Terrace.
“Because things are going to be happen-ing around here pretty soon we could prob-ably spend a little money and pay some more taxes and go from there,” said Green of the expansion of his business into the lots next door.
“Everything is heavy in this businesses,” he said of concrete.
Redi-Mix sells paving and other stones
and a lot of precast products they make themselves for infrastructure, septic tanks, etc. The PNG gas main will also be extend-ed 60 metres north on Earl and a new stop light will be attached to a hydro pole on the currently undeveloped site.
“The full costs shall be at developer ex-pense,” reads the development permit which was approved by city council in March after some discussion about possible dust impact on residences above the cut bank behind the site.
MacCarthy Motors Terrace’s General Motors dealership at
5004 Hwy16 has also expanded by putting in a new storage area for tires and parts in response, a total of an extra 5,000 square feet.
“Our business has picked up a lot in the last 24 months,” said assistant controller Kevin MacCarthy. “Tires is a big part of our business now We ran out room for storing them.”
There will be another building too for a detail shop, he said, however he is still wait-ing to see if the local economic surge contin-ues to finalize that expansion.
Timber MartIncreased business volume is also the rea-
son for a 8,400 square foot warehouse being built at Timber Mart on Keith across from Walmart.
“It is designed so you can drive in and get what you need, tie it down, and drive out the other side,” says store principal Derrick Gair of the warehouse which doubles the existing size of the store.
Being under cover won’t expose products or customers to the elements, Gair added.
The business this year notes its 30th an-niversary.

NEWS FROM two mining compa-nies demonstrates that while many await word on whether or not the region will eventually be home to at least one lique� ed natural gas plant and pipeline, there continue to be other opportunities.
First up is Pretium Resources which now has provincial environ-mental approval and aboriginal sign-off for its Brucejack gold project north of Stewart. It’s now anticipat-ing federal approval and still needs to complete its � nancing.
Second is Alloycorp, formerly Avanti, which announced it has se-cured (US) $225 million from two international lenders for its Kitsault molybdenum project.
It had been anticipating as much as (US) $612 million from six lend-ers. One has now dropped out and the remaining three are still in play.
Alloycorp, as does Pretium, still needs to raise a considerable amount of capital but knowing that someone from the outside has enough con� -dence to invest in this region is en-couraging.
Now couple this with work under-way by Seabridge Gold for approv-als and � nancing for its gold, silver and copper KSM project, also near Stewart, and the gradual ramping up by Imperial Metals of its � nished Red Chris copper mine near Iskut.
Mining, like any industry, is one which requires patience and commit-ment. To have one project � nished and three in the wings is an example of just that.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI
EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, April 8, 2015 Terrace Standard
A recent article in Time magazine knocked me off balance and made
me sad. Susanna Schrobs-dorff, in her March 19 arti-cle, “The Grandparent De� -cit: Fertility Isn’t the Only Biological Clock”, calls attention to generations of children growing up without knowing their grandparents because women are delaying child bearing.
For these children, rather than having years of fun with grandparents, learning from them, and hearing stories of their growing up, these chil-dren will see grandparents – if Grandma and Grandpa are alive – as frail sedentary seniors con� ned to the sterile life of a care home, in need of care themselves.
These children will need some written record if they are to know their grandpar-ents at all. To think these grandparents won’t bike, craft, sing, camp, cook or � sh with their little ones is heartbreaking.
When our youngest granddaughter was about 12, as a school project she sat down to interview Grandpa, microphone and tape record-er at the ready.
Her questions were short, probing, and geared to � ll in gaps of what she wanted to know about Grandpa’s early life for despite his frequent retelling of snippets from his childhood there were speci� c things she wanted to know more about.
Her obvious interest led to a lively half hour inter-view ranging from Christmas and Easter traditions, games he played with his brothers, everyday classroom happen-ings, places he had visited as a grownup.
I � led her tape and pretty much forgot about it until a couple of Christmases ago. I had it professionally copied
to a CD and gave one CD to each of our daughters and granddaughters. The girls were pleased to have their copies. I treasure mine for my husband’s stories told so candidly in response to her questions, for the obvious warmth between the two, and for the reminder of his voice, something I can more easily recall than can the kids. In a few years they may well forget how Grandpa’s voice sounded.
Recently my daughter asked me to get busy and write about our family be-fore she was born – my hus-band’s years before I met him, my life when I was single, and our life together once we married. Though the kids have heard many of our stories, some far more than once, in many cases we’ve told them in random order. To give them more mean-ing and provide extra under-standing, I am to write them in logical or chronological order. No skipping about.
As she explained, once I go, there goes our family his-tory. Even my siblings can’t � ll all gaps for her; for many years we lived far apart.
In her memoir, “They Left Us Everything” as Ontario
writer Plum Johnson emptied the family’s 23-room house for sale after her 93-year-old mother died she asked her-self, “How could I still have questions?
“Friends warned me of this. They said, “When your mother dies, you’ll wish you’d asked her some ques-tions.” I had more than sixty years to ask questions, but the questions didn’t form un-til after she’d gone.
Now there are questions I didn’t even know I had.”
Most of us are like John-son. As kids we have few questions. Later we hesitate to ask for fear of stirring up memories our parents may � nd painful or prefer to keep hidden.
Sometimes we avoid ask-ing because past experience elicited a harsh response to what we deemed an innocu-ous question warning us we were treading close to tender territory.
I welcome my family’s questions and will do my best to write a readable his-tory, more factual than fan-tasy. I would encourage oth-ers to do the same for their families. Even an imperfect, incomplete history is far bet-ter than none.

LNG decisions not for the faint of heart
Terrace Standard Wednesday, April 8, 2015 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7
I do not envy the task facing the LNG proponent majors in deciding whether to green light their plans for large
scale plants on the B.C. coast.Let’s have a look at some of
the factors I mentioned last time.On the supply side there is no
question it is going to increase, but by how much?
Platts, an oil product pricing service, pegs new production in Australia at 32.4 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG just this year. And BG Group, a Brit oil and gas company, says anoth-er 58 mtpa of Aussie production will hit the market by 2019.
Assuming both are correct, that’s a total of 90 mtpa. To put that into perspective, that’s equal to total LNG imports by Japan last year, which was a record.
BG is also bullish about Unit-ed States output, predicting 21 mtpa will start up there this year with more to come. And still oth-ers wax lyrical about the pos-sibilities in Africa. Heck some analysts even throw B.C. into the mix.
Now increased supply is not
of itself a bad thing. After all, if increased demand matches in-creased supply, LNG prices will theoretically hold steady.
So will the increase in demand match that of supply?
A year ago everyone was predicting it would not only do that, but would actually exceed new supply. Today they’re sing-ing a very different song, citing slowing economies in China and South Korea (never mind both are still growing at a rate that most other countries would envy), Ja-pan firing up its nuclear power plants (don’t hold your breath on that one), and continuing de-pressed prices for oil to which most long term LNG contract prices are linked (can we believe that analysts who never saw the oil price crash coming have got it right this time?).
Base your final investment de-cision (FID) on the bearish fore-casts of today and you’d quite rightly have severe doubts about the wisdom of proceeding with multi-billion dollar projects.
But shave a few points off supply expectations, add a few to
demand side and maybe it looks like a reasonable gamble.
And remember, these com-panies will base their decisions on what they believe will hap-pen over the next 30 – 40 years, a significantly longer period than many analysts look at.
So, you’ve calculated what average price you’ll get over the life-time of the project and the revenue looks good enough to justify proceeding. But you also have to look at the other side of
the coin, expenditures. You have lots enough experience run-ning LNG plants so it is pretty straightforward coming up with a dependable operational costs number.
But what about construction costs? The Australian projects were plagued by huge cost over-runs – as much as 50 per cent in one case – so will the experience be the same here?
Northwest B.C. at the moment seems to offer excellent condi-tions in that with the Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA) Kitimat smelter project set to pour first metal within the next few months, more than 3,000 workers will soon be looking for work.
Given the ready availability of workers generally translates to keeping labour costs under con-trol, that’s a good thing, right?
However, if you look at what the smelter project cost Rio Tinto, you have to wonder. RTA was re-alistically the only game in town during its construction period and yet the latest project cost of clos-ing on $5 billion is near double the figure being thrown around
when it got its FID. As I said, I don’t envy the decision-makers.
FOOTNOTE: Back in Febru-ary I wrote about a Canadian-based outfit called Pacific Ru-biales Energy (PRE) that had put plans for a barge-based LNG export plant in Colombia on hold given the crash in prices.
Things have gone from bad to worse since then. A couple of weeks later a report came out from the Colombian oil chamber that predicted growing domestic demand and depleting reserves meant the country would actually have to import LNG by 2018, if not sooner. So what sense did ex-porting make?
The final blow came last month when state-owned Ecopet-rol told PRE its contract to oper-ate the Rubiales gas field – from which it gets 30 per cent of its supply – would not be renewed.
Add another body to the it-seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time LNG graveyard.

THE LOWER Skeena estuary is a fragile place, says a letter writer.
Dear Sir:The northwest coast
is a beautiful, produc-tive coastline and I hope it will stay this way for generations to come.
Today, there are many proposed indus-trial developments that could alter the Skeena River Estuary, and po-tentially compromise the salmon populations that are rearing there.
Studies on the ju-venile salmon in the Skeena River Estuary may be able to inform watershed management on the potential destruc-tion the industries may have and be able to of-fer some alternatives or improvements on po-tential sites.
The Skeena River estuary is a very impor-tant part of our natural ecosystem and extreme-ly important for salmon lifecycle development. This estuary habitat is a very fragile ecosystem that supports many liv-ing organisms, includ-ing six different salmon
species and the second largest sockeye return in British Columbia.
Most salmon use the estuary twice in their lifetime. The first while they are out-migrating after emerging from the spawning ground, and the second when they return from the sea to head up the river to spawn.
When juvenile salm-on out-migrate, they rear in the estuary for varying lengths of time to feed, grow, and begin the transformation from living in freshwater to marine water.
This is a very impor-tant time because their growth and health will decide their future when they travel out into the open ocean.
Little is known about the salmon rearing in the estuary, so ongo-ing research is being conducted to see which different habitat char-acteristics, such as sub-strate and vegetation, relate to the occurrence
or absence of juvenile salmon. Lax Kwalaams Fisheries have been col-lecting data on juvenile salmon in the Skeena watershed since 2005 and continue to pur-sue different types of research to gain more knowledge.
Healthy salmon populations support First Nations and com-mercial fisheries and aquatic and terrestrial food webs. The more we know about the salmon habitat, the bet-ter we can preserve the ecosystem.
If we want to pro-tect some of the world’s most pristine coast lines, we must first gain knowledge.
With this knowl-edge and dialogue the public along with the watershed management team can make more informed decisions re-garding the proposed industry around the Prince Rupert area.
Understanding how industry will impact
this fragile ecosystem will lead us to more sustainable decisions in protecting and man-aging the Skeena River Estuary.
We must take ac-tion now before there is nothing left to fight for in the northwest region of British Columbia.
Stephanie Spencer,Prince Rupert, B.C.
Oil shipments doubted
Estuary criticalfor the salmon
Dear Sir:I see that the Tsimshian chiefs
and Calvin Helin are all in favour of shipping oil by pipelines to a proposed refinery.
This is after almost everyone else is opposed to the pipelines.
These pipelines may not even go through with all the big cost
figures coming out from Enbridge and other oil companies today.
And I want to add those living on the coast will have to deal with the Gitxsan before they get any oil coming out of their pipes at the end of the line.

College contemplatingmore program cutsNORTHWEST COMMUNITY College is on the verge of cutting the number of university credit classes it offers at its main campus locations of Ter-race, Prince Rupert and Smithers.
And, in Smithers, it could mean the end of face-to-face classroom instruction.
The result will also mean fewer university credit instructors being employed at the college.
College communications director Sarah Zim-merman said no decisions have been made but that the college needs to respond to budget pressures and lower enrolments specifically in its academic programs.
“What we’re trying to do is minimize the im-pact,” she said of everything from offering early re-tirement incentives and voluntary severance pack-ages to instructors to combining classes where it makes sense to do so.
A number of instructors have already been given notices of at least partial layoffs in accordance with union contracts, said Zimmerman.
Zimmerman was responding to an April 2 re-lease by the Northwest Community College Stu-dents’ Union which indicated college officials were about to cut up to 40 university courses – 15 in Prince Rupert, 6 in Terrace and 14 in Smithers.
Since there are only 14 courses being offered in Smithers, it would mean the end of classroom in-struction there, said the union.
“The one place locals can start a post-secondary education in our region is Northwest Community College,” said students’ union chair Steve Verblac in criticizing the college’s plan.
“The college has been losing enrolment since 2009 so cutting even more courses makes no sense. One has to wonder whether there will even be a Northwest Community College in five years? Cer-
tainly not if the level of mismanagement and parti-san agenda-pushing of the last five years is allowed to continue,” he said.
Trades and other programs, so far, have not been affected.
Zimmerman did not confirm nor deny the num-bers released by the students’ union but said in places such as Smithers, alternatives to direct class-room instruction are possible.
“To say that we won’t be offering instruction in Smithers isn’t true. We’re going to ensure there are options for our students,” she said.
The college already offers classes through closed-circuit viewing in which students in one community are taught by an instructor in another community.
What the college must do is match its course of-ferings with the enrolment it has and with the needs of its students, said Zimmerman.
There has been a drop in academic program enrolment, a circumstance that could have been caused by the demand for workers on large scale industrial projects in the past several years.
But with large projects such as Rio Tinto Al-can’s aluminum smelter rebuilding project winding down, there might be renewed interest in going to college, said Zimmerman.
She said an exact budget picture isn’t available but that a proposed spending plan will be put to the college board, the majority of its members are ap-pointed by the province, this month in Smithers.
“At that point the board will then develop its plan,” Zimmernan said.
Cutting courses or programs and laying off em-ployees is difficult, Zimmerman added.
“This is not an exercise anyone takes pleasure in doing,” she said.
With many officers away at the time, the troops took up arms and conducted several marches through Terrace, urging others to support them.
The mutiny ended when officers returned and the troops were subsequently shipped out to other parts of the country.
Wiebe’s application has the support of city coun-cil and it also gave her permission to use the origi-nal manuscript written by student Karen Keuchle.
“We get a number of research requests about the
mutiny, which is relatively unknown, and feel that it would be useful to compile all of the information that is out there, especially while a few of the vet-erans and community members who witnessed the mutiny are still alive,” wrote Wiebe in her submis-sion to council.
The Terrace mutiny was not the only Canadian one during the Second World War but it was the longest and considered a very serious situation at the time, she said.
POLICE REPORTED having to speak with a group of people who called 911 after reading the April 1, 2015 issue of The Terrace Stan-dard.
“They were intoxicated and at-tempting to get ahold of police to make an enquiry as to an article in
the news about RCMP going back to the use of horses,” read the po-lice report.
In fact, the story concerning a pilot project to have mounted offi-cers patrol Terrace streets, was the newspaper’s traditional April Fools offering.
No, there won’t be horses

VOTING STARTS to-day to � ll two positions for Terrace and area on the Northern Savings Credit Union board.
In the running are four people with one being an incumbent, Ann Peltier, a Terrace child care advocate.
Also seeking a seat are accountant and business consultant Rod Cox, Golder Associates project manager Bart DeFreitas, and assessor Keith Goodwin.
“The second position has been vacant,” said credit union board chair Nirmal Parmar.
The person with the
most votes will have a three-year appointment to the board and the person with the second most votes will have a two-year appointment, explained Parmar.
He’s the third board member for Terrace and area and his term ex-pires next year.
Voting is open to Northern Savings Cred-it Union members at the credit union branch here and closes April 10.
The voting comes at the same time as the credit union deals with the sudden departure of its CEO and president, Ken Doleman.
Hired just two-and-a-half years ago, Dole-man’s departure was announced mid-March
with the board wishing him the best.
Parmar said Dole-man’s departure wasn’t a surprise.
“Things change and people move on,” said Parmar. “He did a good job when he was here.”
Senior Northern Savings of� cial Sha-ron Stromdahl has been named as temporary CEO and president pending the search for a permanent one.
That search will take place once the board evaluates next steps for the credit union’s busi-ness growth.
The voting comes
the same month as the credit union, which has branches in Terrace, Prince Rupert and Hai-da Gwaii stages annual general meetings.
In addition to branches in the north-west, Northern Savings has a mortgage busi-ness in the south. Assets last year were reported as $987 million, mak-ing the credit union the largest of its kind in the north.
Credit union ser-vices began here with the Terrace and District Credit which merged with Northern Savings in 2006.
Voting opens up todayfor credit union board

A RECENT Facebook post about a missing person brought out comments about wheth-er you can report a person as missing before 24 hours has passed.
The person believed to be missing was found but not before people disagreed about whether you could report someone missing immediately or not.
To clear up the question, Terrace RCMP Inspector Dana Hart said people need to re-port a loved one as missing as soon as pos-sible.
“No, you do not have to wait 24 hours,” said Hart who is in charge of the Terrace RCMP detachment.
“In fact, the longer one waits to report a missing person, the greater the risk for the missing person, especially children. We do not have the capacity to monitor Facebook and ask that people call police to report an incident.”
RCMP detachments regularly issue re-leases concerning missing people.
Don’t hesitateto call police

Local loses court� ght with RCMP
ANNA KILLEN PHOTO
LARRY SOMMERFIELD’S civil suit court date with the RCMP for de-stroying guns he owned did not go his way.
By ANNA KILLEN
IT’S TRUE that there were many smoking guns following the � re at Larry Sommer� eld’s Thornhill home in 2010. But when the 91-year-old man needed one, of the � gurative kind, in his civil suit against the RCMP for destroying those guns, the judge simply didn’t � nd one.
“The RCMP acted in good faith,” said justice Terence Wright in his oral judgment which ruled in favour of the defense in Sommer-� eld’s small claims case against the B.C. min-istry of justice, the of-� cial representative for the provincial RCMP, Monday, March 23 at the Terrace court house. He added that after the � re in March of 2010, the of� cers took the 10 charred and burnt guns into their possession to secure them, and in fact had a duty to do so as there was no reasonable way for them to deter-mine at the time wheth-er or not they were a risk to the public.
Months after the March 2010 � re, Som-mer� eld, representing himself and after � ling a complaint with the Terrace RCMP directly, sued the ministry in small claims court.
He spent over four years researching and building his case, in which he claimed the RCMP of� cers unduly con� scated his guns and that when he signed a release giving his per-mission for the RCMP to destroy the guns he was under duress and misled. The case took up four court days and heard testimony from four witnesses. The judge’s decision came just over � ve years after the � re.
The case in part hinged on whether or
not that release signed by Sommer� eld at hos-pital after the � re where he was being treated for serious burns to his arm, giving the of� cers per-mission to destroy the guns, was valid. Wright ruled that Sommer� eld voluntarily signed a re-lease allowing the of� -cers to destroy the guns, and was not intimidated and misled into signing the release as he main-tained.
Wright said that Sommer� eld’s memory of the signing and when it took place was sim-ply mistaken and that corroborative evidence tended to be consistent with the defence’s ver-sion of events.
Wright said he was “in no way suggest-ing the claimant is not telling the truth as he recalled to the court … mistaken about events, nothing more.”
Wright said in his ruling that Sommer� eld was lucid and rational in an audio recording
recorded at the hospital after the � re, submitted as evidence by the de-fense at the encourage-ment of the judge, who wanted to hear it in or-der to determine Som-mer� eld’s mental state.
“There is no evi-dence the plaintiff didn’t have full intel-lectual capacity,” said Wright.
As the claimant failed to prove the de-fence was liable, any question of money owed to Sommer� eld was not an issue, said Wright.
This was not wel-come news for Som-mer� eld, who said the case shook his trust in the RCMP who he be-lieves made an error and tried to cover it up.
He called the deci-sion “a joke” after the ruling and said that “judges can also be mis-taken.”
“I didn’t realize that much emphasis would be put on that I signed the release,” he added,
but said he didn’t think hiring a lawyer would have helped his cause. Sommer� eld main-tained afterwards that the release he signed used the term “� rearm” and that “a gun that cannot shoot is not a � rearm” – a familiar re-frain heard from Som-mer� eld in court.
Sommer� eld said he wouldn’t be appealing the ruling.
“I’m not going to bother,” he said, “for the four or � ve thousand dollars it could get me. I’ve had enough of it.”
Still, he seemed sur-prised the judge didn’t decide in his favour.
“I was expecting at least something,” he said. “I get nothing, but I don’t need the money.”
Mostly, he just wants his story to be told so that others can learn from his experience, he said, adding that he is going to “make a � le [on the case] and put it in the library for oth-ers.”

Moly miners confidentof final financing goalFINAL FINANCING progress for a molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast is slower than expected but the president of the company which wants to develop the project remains confident of success.
“Yes. Things have slowed. We’ve lost some time,” said Gordon Bogden of Alloycorp which needs upwards of $1 billion for the mine it wants to build through subsidiary Avanti Kitsault.
The company had been expecting (US) $616 million from a group of six international lenders since early last fall but to date just two have com-mitted themselves to approximately one-third of that amount.
One of the six has now dropped out and the com-pany continues to work with the remaining three.
“But that has nothing to do with the project,” said Bogden of the one lender who dropped out. “It’s no secret that with the drop in oil prices in-ternational banks are reviewing decisions and have deferred on them.”
Alloycorp now has other lenders reviewing its Kitsault project although Bogden declined to pro-vide details.
At the same time, the company has outside con-sultants reviewing project costs and early indica-tions are that an initial budget of $818 million may be increased by 20 to 30 per cent.
That’s not a surprise to Bogden who said the original budget was crafted when only 10 per cent of the engineering work was completed.
“Now we have 53 per cent of that work done. We can now put hard data to the project. We’ve in-creased the confidence in construction, we’ve done a lot to de-risk the project,” he said.
Bogden acknowledged that the market for mo-
lybdenum, used as a strengthening agent in steel alloys, has softened and that a molybdenum mine near Endako has closed, but said Kitsault will be one of the lowest cost producers of the product in the world.
“High grade, low cost, that’s what makes this project significant,” he said.
One change, and one which Bogden said will increase costs but also increase revenue, is a bet-ter design of the equipment to recover molybdenum and silver from the ore at Kitsault.
“The more we can recover, the more revenue we will receive and the better the economics will be,” he added.
Alloycorp already has the environmental and other approvals it needs from the federal and pro-vincial governments and from the Nisga’a – Kit-sault is on territory over which the Nisga’a have rights and interests – and has been building roads and a camp in anticipation of a construction start this year.
The camp of 150 beds is now completed as is a road to the site and the company also rebuilt a provincial government bridge over the Nass River.
Bogden and other company officials will be in Terrace tomorrow for the official opening of sub-sidiary Avanti Kitsault’s local office which is locat-ed on the upper floor of the Dairy Queen building on Park Ave.
Mine construction is expected to take approxi-mately two years with a mine life of approximately 14 years to follow. When operating, the mine will employ 300 people.
Alloycorp has already signed purchase agree-ments, called offtake agreements, with a company in Germany and one in Korea.
TERRACE SEARCH and Rescue is looking for public support to help buy a sonar to help searchers find people lost deep down in lakes and other bod-ies of water.
In particular, rescuers want to continue to look for Jodi Frocklage, who went missing on Kalum Lake when she went out boating alone December 21, 2014 and didn’t return home.
Experienced team members searched the lake’s surface along with volunteers, friends, family, RCMP the federal department of fisheries and New Aiyansh Fisheries but failed to locate her, said local search and rescue president Dwayne Sheppard of the incident.
For a more extensive search, search and rescue
needs specialty equipment that can search down to depths of 400 feet, he said.
“The appeal to the public is for people with fun-draising experience to help us out,” said Sheppard.
Search and rescue can use its own non-profit funds to purchase the $44,000 Sea Scan Arc Ex-plorer Sonar, which can search to these depths and deeper.
But the organization also needs a SeaBotix Re-mote Operated Vehicle (ROV) for recovery at these depths and is looking for the public to help with raising the $93,000 cost of the ROV.
Sheppard asks anyone who would like to assist with fundraising or who would like to donate to contact him.

RCMP OFFICERS here want charges laid following a drug and cash seizure involving two separate searches of an apartment unit on the 4600 Block of Lakelse Ave. and one search of an apartment unit right next door.
Officers used a search warrant on March 22 at the first unit, seizing what they say is a quantity of cocaine and cash.
Three men, ages 29, 27, and 26, and one 27-year-old woman were ar-rested inside of the residence.
Three days later, on March 25, using another search warrant, offi-
cers returned and arrested the same 29-year-old man and 27-year-old woman inside the residence.
Another search warrant was ex-ecuted at the apartment next door and a 56-year-old man was arrested, said police.
In all, police say they seized ap-proximately $7,000 in cash and what they say is $22,000 worth of crack cocaine. Charge recommendations of drug trafficking have been forwarded to federal prosecutors.
The 29-year-old man was held for court, police said last week.

Computer scammerstrikes once more
TERRACE RCMP officers stepped in last week after a person provided her credit card information and remote access to her comput-er to a telephone scammer claiming to offer services to remove a virus.
Police said they spoke with the woman and directed her to a local computer technician to wipe her computer.
Law enforcement officers and computer in-dustry officials routinely warn people against providing any kind credit card or other per-sonal information to people over the phone.
The growing use of sophisticated scams made possible by the Internet have resulted in more and more people putting themselves at the risk of either being defrauded or having their identities stolen.

LOCAL SPEECH pathologist Nathan Hoffart was one of three major winners of a regional business contest, taking home a $10,000 cheque.
Two locals winbusiness prizes

BARBER SHOP owner Jeff Minhinnick, right, receives a cheque for $2,500 from BG Cana-da’s Simon Nish.
TWO LOCAL en-trepreneurs who won money in a region-wide business idea contest both want to take their plans on the road.
Nathan Hoffart, a speech language pa-thologist with the Coast Mountains school dis-trict, won $10,000 for his idea of locating speech language assis-tants in northwestern communities in support of two language pathol-ogists who would then travel to those commu-nities for specific thera-py sessions.
And Jeffrey Minhin-nick won $2,500 for his concept of adding a mo-bile service to construc-tion camps for his Ye Olde Chop Bloc barber shop.
Hoffart’s $10,000 came from his first place finish in the social enterprise category and Minhinnick’s $2,500 came from his runner up placing in the best business expansion cat-egory of ThriveNorth, a project of liquefied natural gas plant builder BG Canada and Future-preneur Canada, a na-tional business develop-ment agency focussing on young entrepreneurs.
“One thing I see in my occupation is mas-sive wait lists,” said Hoffart of both speech and hearing assistance needs in the northwest, citing the statistic that one in six Canadians are in need of assistance in those two areas.
“Up here we have few people spread out over a large area. In-
stead of people going to therapists, we would go to them.”
Private schools, various social services agencies and First Na-tions now bring up pathologists from the Lower Mainland or use tele-health services, a circumstance Hoffart would ease through his planned local travelling concept.
He’s going to use his $10,000 to further de-velop his business plan.
Travelling to meet a need is also at the heart of Minhinnick’s mobile barber shop who views northwestern construc-tion camps as an oppor-tunity.
“It’s still in the plan-ning stages and we’re looking at the viability of it,” said Minhinnick.
That planning in-
cludes the idea of a trailer equipped with barber chairs.
“We’ve bought two extra chairs already,” said Minhinnick adding that having an adequate water supply is key to his idea. “Once it’s up and running, you could take in anywhere.”
More than 50 ideas were submitted from around the northwest to the ThriveNorth contest and the 12 finalists in three categories – best new idea, best expan-sion idea and best social enterprise idea – de-fended their concepts two weekends before a panel of business ex-perts in Prince Rupert.
BG Canada wants to build its LNG plant at Ridley Island, fed by a pipeline to be built by Spectra.

Baby (primary) teeth play a big role in your child’s speech development, nutrition and create space for adult teeth to develop correctly. Limit sugary food and drinks and clean your baby’s mouth
YOUR CHILD’S BABY TEETH CAN LAST UNTIL THEY’RE 14 YEARS OLD.
◾ Caring for the mouth starts early. Begin by cleaning your baby’s mouth using a wet cloth and gently wiping the gums to remove any leftover milk or formula from the mouth.
◾ Brush your child’s teeth as soon as the fi rst tooth appears and make sure you lift the lip to brush along the gum line. Young children cannot clean their own teeth. Brush for them when they are very young and with them as they grow older.
◾ Use a soft toothbrush. Choose an appropriate size for the age of the child.
◾ Make brushing fun and develop a routine: brush at a specifi c time (after a bath or before a book); in a specifi c location (mom’s knee); or with spe- cifi c cues (music, counting).
◾ Use a small amount of fl uoride tooth- paste to protect the teeth from cavi- ties. Children under the age of 3 should only use a smear (size of a grain of rice) while those over 3 can use a pea-sized amount. Encourage your children to spit out the tooth- paste.
◾ Cavity-causing bacteria can transfer from your mouth to your child’s. Avoid sharing soothers, toothbrushes or other items with your child.
◾ Regardless of age, discourage graz- ing on sugary foods and drinks throughout the day or overnight. For instance, constant and slow sip- ping on milk-fi lled bottles or sippy cups with juice, keeps sugars in the mouth and can lead to cavities—fi ll them with water instead.
◾ Choose healthy snacks such as cheese, fruit or nuts. What’s good for the body is good for the mouth.
◾ The earlier a dental problem is found, the easier it is to fi x. Check your child’s mouth and visit the den- tist regularly.
◾ Look in your child’s mouth for signs of disease such as brown or yellow spots on the teeth. Other signs that your child may be suffering from dental disease include: trouble sleeping; diffi culty concentrating; and, avoiding certain foods, such as cold drinks and foods.
◾ The fi rst dental visit should take place by age one or within six months of when you see the fi rst tooth. Through regular examinations your dentist will monitor the devel- opment of your child’s teeth and gums to catch problems early and prevent disease. Starting dental visits early can also improve your child’s comfort with visiting the dentist.
Remember, children learn by example: if you look after your own teeth and gums, your children will too.
Baby teeth are important tooKeeping your child’s baby teeth healthy and strong is important to their oral
and overall health and development. Baby teeth begin to appear around 6 months and can last until a child is 13 or 14. They are an important part of your child’s nutrition, speech development, self-confi dence and play a signifi cant role in the placement of permanent adult teeth.
Without proper care and attention children can suffer from dental decay (cavi-ties). Decay is caused when sugars in the mouth mix with plaque bacteria to create an acid that can destroy tooth enamel. The longer sugar is in the mouth, the more acid is produced, increasing the risk of cavities.
Dental decay is painful—it can lead to infection and tooth loss. Children with dental disease may also have trouble sleeping, diffi culty concentrating and suffer emotional distress—feeling bad about the way they look.
Dental disease is not always recognizable. Pain is usually a sign there is a prob-lem but very young children are not able to explain when they are in pain.
The good news is that dental disease is preventable. Establishing healthy habits from an early age, including regular dental exams, can start your child on the path to good oral health.
Set your child up for good dental health:
For more ways to help your child benefi t from good dental health, talk to your dentist or visit yourdentalhealth.ca.

bcclassi� ed.comDual communities protestovernight border closure

CAROLINE SIMPSON-STEWART protests the border closure April 1, 2015.
By ANNA KILLEN
RESIDENTS OF both Stewart and Hyder were out with signs early in the morning of April 1, protesting overnight clo-sures of the border be-tween their communities which began at 12:01 a.m. that day.
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we are one community in two countries,” said Hyder resident Caroline Simpson-Stewart.
“It’s sad. What is be-ing done to the people of Stewart and Hyder as a ‘cost cutting’ measure is wrong on so many lev-els, and thus far none of the customs people are being laid off, none of their hours are being cut, there were three people on duty all night – it reeks of wrong.”
The move to reduce the hours at the border and close the crossing between midnight and 8 a.m. – what some have described as a cost-cutting measure by the Canadian Border Ser-vices Agency (CBSA) – has been met with � erce opposition and criticism from residents, businesses, and politi-cians on both sides of the border. But despite the outcry, the closure went ahead. The gate doesn’t look like much – but Simpson-Stewart said there are cameras focussed on the crossing and she wouldn’t risk going across when it’s shut.
Opponents of the re-duced hours tout ecomo-mic and safety concerns – Hyder relies on Stew-art’s health care centre and the road is the only evacuation route.
CBSA says it has procedures in place, which have been signed off on by local emergen-cy services providers, to mitigate safety concerns and allow emergency access. That includes a 24-hour phone at the gate residents can use to call to have the gate opened in the event of a medical emergency. CBSA con� rmed a med-ical emergency could be something like a broken arm that needs urgent medical attention.
CBSA also said it is consulting with local businesses.
Rick Kasum, the operating manager for mining company Ascot Resources in Stewart,
B.C., still hopes a com-mon-sense combination of real safety concerns and economics will prevail – or at least get the CBSA to tweak the hours so they work for his company, the work site of which is only ac-cessible by travelling through Hyder to British Columbia territory on the other side.
“The way they’re opening up and shutting the hours is really going to hurt us,” he said. “The hours of operation aren’t going to work for us, we work 24/7 right? I need the hours changed.”
Despite pressure from Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen and others, fed-eral minister for public safety Stephen Blaney has not intervened in the closure but Cullen said last week he was “hope-ful.” Blaney has also re-fused to comment.

ANJA HANINGTON in the Caledonia Drama presentation of the high school drama festival entry “Red Herring” at the REM Lee Theatre in February.
Student gets closer to acting dreamA YOUNG actress will learn from professionals after being accepted to theatre school down south this summer.
Anja Hanington, Grade 10 student at Caledonia, will head to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York for two weeks.
Hanington, who was mistress of ceremonies at the recent Comedy Calamity series of seven mini-plays at Skeena Middle School, performed in Red Herring, Caledonia’s entry into the high school drama festival and was Chip, one of the main char-acters in Beauty and the Beast, Caledonia’s musical theatre production last December and Terrace Little Theatre’s summer drama program.
“It was just I think ‘why not do it now?’” says Hanington about why she chose to apply for the course now.
She says she had been researching universities specializing in acting and theatre and noticed this one had summer courses in musical theatre for teens. After applying, she found out within a few days that she had been accepted.
“I didn’t expect to hear back so fast and wasn’t entirely sure I was going to get in,” she said.
The two-week course is from July 27 to August 7 and includes musical theatre, dance, voice and stage techniques.
Her dream is to act professionally and take more theatre at university after high school.
“I think I always wanted to be an actor,” she says, adding she found a youtube musical perfor-mance from a Chicago theatre group that showed her it was possible and at a young age.
“It just basically confirmed that that’s real and it doesn’t have to be sort of a far away dream.”
Food bank counts number of clientsTERRACE CHURCHES Food Bank had a busy month in March with lots of food to give out plus produce and collecting client numbers for the an-nual hunger count.
“March went very well – we had lots of food to distribute and lots of volunteers as well,” said food bank president John Wiebenga.
“There was a bonus shipment of frozen carrots we handed out and have enough to hand out again in April.”
Actual client numbers were sub-mitted to Food Banks Canada for the March Hunger Count, which will determine the percentage of food
shared with the food bank, explained Wiebenga, adding he didn’t have the numbers from last year for compari-son but compared to 2013, the total had dropped by about eight per cent.
The numbers submitted were as follows:
• Households = 340 which repre-sents 872 individuals broken down into separate categories;
• Men (18 years+) = 293;• Women (18 years+) = 253;• Children (under 18) = 326;• Seniors (65+) = 55;• New clients = 14; • Senior numbers went up by seven
individuals.

THANKS TO the community help-ing out, more than 100 youths were able to try out skiing or snowboarding even though the cost was out of reach.
The Northern Snow Angels pro-gram helps provide free skiing/riding to school groups/organizations who want to participate in the snow sports, but are unable to afford the cost.
“We have put through 118 kids at full sponsorship through the Northern Snow Angels program,” said Chris-tian Theberge.
“Some of the kids included in the 118 were part of three-day programs. On average, our funding allowed us to sponsor up to 15 kids per school program day.”
Full sponsorship includes lift tick-et, rentals, ski lesson, and lunch.
Northern Escape Heli Skiing add-ed the chance for its clients to dona-tion to the program. Other individuals and organizations who helped out in-cluding the Terrace Rotary Club, Mt. Remo Backcountry Society.

Nightmares looking to rise above the Pain
HEY HOCKEYVILLE, does Ter-race want to host the 2017 National Aboriginal Hockey Champion-ships?
The Aboriginal Sport, Recre-ation and Physical Activity Partners Council is conducting a province-wide process to identify communi-ties in B.C. who are interested in hosting the 2017 National Aborigi-nal Hockey Championships.
The group can approve and en-dorse one community from within B.C. to be put forward in the nation-al bid process where they will com-pete amongst other communities from across the country. So they’re launching a provincial process to choose a B.C. community.
The selected B.C. community will receive a funding commitment of $50,000 to offset the event’s op-erating costs should they be suc-cessfully awarded the rights to host the 2017 NAHC through the nation-al process.
The first deadline is the submis-sion of a letter of intent, which is required by Wednesday, April 29th, 2015.
For more information visit www.aboriginalsportbc.ca.
Held annually each spring, the National Aboriginal Hockey Cham-pionships serve as a premier event that showcases elite Bantam/Midget age Aboriginal hockey players from across Canada.

THE NORTHCOAST Nightmares suffered a couple of tough losses to start the season at the Northern Exposure tour-nament in Prince George last month – but they’re looking forward to a re-match against Quesnel’s Gold Pain City, the first in a best of three series sure to be a highlight of the season.
The Prince George in-vitational saw the Terrace team fall to the Tourna-ment City Deadlines from Kamloops in the first bout of the tourney, and then get knocked out by Gold Pain.
“Was a bit disappoint-ing, we wanted to get to game three,” said head coach 9Chris “Skimo” Thomas. “But it didn’t hit too hard, the team is very optimistic and in good spirits.”
Thomas said the over-all experience was excel-lent and gave the team an opportunity to try out dif-ferent game strategies in-volving the roster’s mix of veteran players and rook-ies.
“We’ve got a number of players that have been around for a few years and a number that are quite
new, first time skating or second time skating. It’s tough to know the best way to incorporate them into a game especially when we’re playing a team with a very high lev-el of play.”
But the team is feel-ing confident about the upcoming rematch bout
in Quesnel this weekend, April 11, and the first home bout, at the Terrace Sportsplex in May, also against Quesnel.
“Quesnel is fairly close to our level of play,” he said. “We’re looking for victory.
“We have noticed that our team’s endurance is
quite high,” he said. “We plan to capitalize on that. Our late game is really good but obviously we can’t wait until the end of the game to start winning. So we’ve been working hard on strategies to beat them at the start of the jam.”
He said it’s nice to have
a team to continually play – and that the fans will benefit from the series.
“Great team to play with, we have good parties and socializa-tion after too,” he said. “We learn from each other after the games just as much as during the games.”
Charles E. Brooks, retired US Air Force officer, an avid trout fisherman who loved to fish the rough and tumble rivers of Mon-
tana located in the Yellowstone area, had a two pronged problem to solve, namely to invent an imitation of the giant black stone fly nymphs that the rainbow trout would mistake for the real deal, and how to get it down between the big rocks embedded in the bottom of riffles and glides of his home streams using a fly rod.
The Pteronarcys nymphs, some as long as a man’s thumb, most the size of a wom-an’s, are bottom dwellers that graze atop and between the boulders that decorate stream beds. At times, they unhook them-selves from the substrate and go with the flow. These dangerous drifts appear reck-less at first, since they leave the bugs naked and vulnerable to trout that dart from their ambuscades like heat seeking missiles and pick them off. Scientists call this behav-iour benthic drift, and have devoted a lot of research to it. There are many theories as to why aquatic benthos behave this way. Charlie Brooks pored over the papers pub-lished by entomologists with the practical eye of a trout fisher. To Charlie, how the nymphs drifted was more important than why they did.
He learned that most of these drifts oc-curred at night, which didn’t surprise him since a nocturnal float at least afforded the
creatures the cover of low light. Brooks was pleased to discover that benthic drift occurred during the day too, but not as often, and usu-ally on darker days. Af-ter a lot of field work, he learned to spot the conditions when ben-thic drift was happening in broad daylight. Dur-ing these prime feeding times for trout, Brooks’ imitation needed to be fished near, but not on, the bottom. To this end, he loaded his reel with the fastest full sink-ing fly line of the time, which, by today’s standards, would be a slow sinking line. On the end of that line, he attached a short length of heavy mono-filament, the heavy nylon being necessary to turn over a large heavy fly.
To imitate the stonefly nymphs, Brooks wound an underbody of lead wire on a long shanked streamer hook with a #4 gape. Next, he fastened a pair of small quills from the leading edge of the flight feather from a goose to the bend to ape the tails of the stone nymph. To create the segmented ef-fect of the insect’s exoskeleton, he wound a body of black mohair, then spiralled some
medium copper wire over it in even turns. Fi-nally, Brooks took a pair of rooster hackles, one brown, the other griz-zled, and wound them through the fake bug’s thorax, thus simulating legs and gills.
Out of water, Charlie Brooks’ Montana Stone nymph, didn’t look like much (go to stevenojai.tripod.com and scroll halfway down the screen to see an example), but once it was submersed, it bore an uncanny re-semblance to the aquatic invertebrate it was meant
to imitate. During his early experiments on the stream, Brooks learned that the fly pat-terns tied to mimic the yellow and orange undersides of the natural nymph actually spooked trout when they flipped upside down in the turbulence. Consequently, he constructed symmetrical nymphs that al-ways appeared to be riding right side up in the flow whether they were or not.
Of course, coming up with an effective pattern was only half the battle. To best imitate the drifting nymph meant fishing it so that it was free of drag. Drag is fly fish-ing argot that refers to the pull of leader
and line on the fly. Drag is the bane of dry fly fishers because insects floating atop the water float freely. Since a floating fly is attached to tow rope consisting of tip-pet, leader, and fly line, the latter is always trying to drag it across the top of the wa-ter like a minuscule water skier. Flies be-having this way fail to trip the hair trigger instincts of trout. As a result, the angler fishing dry flies is forever readjusting his line to keep his fly floating freely as long as possible. Brooks’s task was to achieve the same kind of extended free float underwa-ter, a much more difficult feat.
To affect this, he cast a short line up-stream just as a dry fly fisher would, re-trieved line as the bug drifted toward him, while simultaneously lifting his 8 weight, 9 foot fibreglass rod as the nymph passed him. As the nymph continued its journey downstream, he lowered his rod and began paying out line. When the nymph began to drag, Brooks cast it back upstream with a crisp flick a little farther from the bank than the cast before. The whole technique is like deceptively difficult to do well but once mastered, very effective.
After reading Brooks’s Nymph Fishing for Larger Trout, I devoted a lot of fishing time to his nymphing technique. As Char-lie predicted, I caught a lot of trout with it, but it was not until I met Hugh that I realized it had a much broader application.

TERRACE BLUEBACKS Avery Back, Grace Lukasser, MacKenzie Bannister, and Jake Kluss at the Terrace Aquatic Centre last month.
Terrace Bluebacks boast friendly competition in and out of the pool THE FOUR Terrace Bluebacks who received medals at the annual Smithers regional invitational say it is their teammates who inspire them.
“Erin kept saying I’d get one and that inspired me,” said Jake Kluss, who took home a silver medal. “Erin!” The four swim-mers shout in unison, excited to talk about their teammate who is recovering from a back injury and has been a solid cheerleader for the time being.
“She always has a smile on her face,” said gold-medalist MacK-enzie Bannister. “She’s just really inspiring.”
“She’s really happy,” said Kluss.“I really wanted Juliet to get a
medal,” said bronze medal win-ner Avery Back, adding that Juliet was very close at both the Kitimat and Smithers’ meets. “One of the things that probably drove me to get a medal was Juliet because she was like a point away from getting a medal. So it was like if she can get a medal than I can too and so she inspired me.”
Back also noted that she trained with her friend Aubrey before the meet and “that helped.”
Kluss jumps in to say that team-mate – and, apparently, team clown – Renzo “was most inspiring for me, too.”
The four attribute their good-will towards their teammates to the size of the squad.
“The reason why it feels so good is that our swim club is one of the smallest ones we have time to grow together a little bit more … all of us know each other,” said
Bannister. The amount of time and attention paid to each other is clear as they recount the story of Grace Lukasser realizing she’s won her first medal ever, a bronze.
Lukasser hadn’t expected to place, and was playing a game on a
tablet, when “she hears her name, she looks up, she looks down,” said Bannister, as the rest nod in agree-ment that it was a sight to behold.
“I was confused,” explains Lu-kasser. “Because I didn’t know if I was dreaming or not.”
The Bluebacks have been shar-ing that team spirit with Kitimat for the past several weeks, as the Marlins use the Terrace Aquatic Centre while Kitimat’s municipal strike continues. The Bluebacks trained in Kitimat earlier in the
year when the pool was closed for renovations, so the team is happy to return the favour.
And the two teams, along with Smithers and Prince Rupert, typi-cally compete together as Points North at larger meets – like the big meet in Prince George coming up mid-month – so it is helpful to train together.
“The people that you compete with are your friends, you don’t compete with them, you become a team with them,” said Bannister.
The Smithers Invitational took place Feb. 28 through March 1 at the Bulkley Valley Pool. Here are some meet highlights:
