WHAT PROMISED to be nego-tiation that would see the Klappan Valley, popularly known as the Sa-cred Headwaters, protected from mining and other developments, appears to be in limbo as the Tahl-tan Central Council has threatened to take the provincial government to court over control of these tradi-tional lands.

“They haven't listened to us to date, that's why we are preparing to go to court,” said Tahltan Central Council President Annita McPhee last week.

Last year the province and the Tahltan agreed to take part in what was called the “Klappan Strategic Initiative” with the latter hoping the area would be saved from plans by Fortune Minerals of Ontario to build a large metallurgical coal mine there.

The Tahltan use the Klappan for hunting, education and spiritual practices and have blockaded the area off and on over the years to prevent Fortune from gaining ac-cess.

A HOUSING mega-complex planned for a section of land bounded by Kenney and Park in the Horseshoe will be the largest such development in Terrace since the 1980s.

Details have emerged of Cal-gary-based Coast to Coast Hold-ings Inc.'s plans for what could be more than 180 apartment and townhouse units to be built by combining nearly 5.5 acres assem-bled through two private sales and a land purchase from the city.

Most of the land was once the

home of a provincial government highways maintenance yard but the buildings were taken down more than 20 years ago and the land was subdivided and sold off.

Now Coast to Coast owns these two parcels as well as another small parcel immediately north of them.

The property that the city sold to Coast to Coast is right on the corner of Kenney and Park and is planned to be a 105-unit apartment complex.

Beside it is planned another housing complex with at least 70-75 units. North of that, toward the

corner of Walsh and Kenney, will be a six-unit townhouse complex, for which a development permit has already been applied for.

The city is selling its 2.4 acre parcel for $951,000, far more than the minimum asking price of $408,000 when it sought bids on the property earlier this year.

This means more money than first contemplated for a city-spon-sored affordable housing fund policy which it is in the middle of crafting.

City development services di-rector David Block is describing the proposed development as a

double win for the city's efforts to increase the amount of affordable housing.

Not yet fully fleshed out, the city does want to provide grants to nonprofit groups to build their own affordable housing or to purchase lands upon which future affordable housing developments can be built, he said.

And the second win for afford-able housing, according to Block, will take the form of allowing more units to be built on the land than normally permitted in return for Coast to Coast providing af-fordable housing of its own at the

location.Affordable, in this case, means

20 per cent below market value on the sale of a condo, for instance, and rental rates of 20 per cent less than for similar other units in the complex, said Block.

The criteria for determining who qualifies will be based on statements of income, he added.

“In a tough [housing] market it will provide affordability to work-ers earning less,” said Block of the deal being reached between the city and Coast to Coast.

Longtime resident, councillor says byeBy JOSH MASSEY

OUTGOING TERRACE city coun-cillor Marylin Davies says that Ter-race today reminds her of 51 years ago when she arrived with her father and the rest of her family to a small bustling town.

Davies, who is moving to the city of Courtenay on Vancouver Island to seek relief from a nagging medi-cal condition in the warmer climate, tendered her resignation on June 23 in advance of local government elections this November.

A byelection will not be trig-gered because Davies is leaving within five months of the election date with her last council day fall-ing on June 23.

She and her husband Phil have been downsizing the possessions in their 2,800 square foot home on Kenney in preparation for the move. They are catching a ferry south out of Prince Rupert on July 8.

“I have never failed to be amazed at the time and effort that our staff [now] and our staff through the years puts forward to us in support,” she told council on her last session.

“I believe Terrace has moved from a small town mindset commu-nity to a have-not town to the edge of the boom. I don’t think we ever dreamed it could happen and now it is upon us.”

Davies says that she believes the community has to come first in pol-icy decisions, and she worries about a trend toward partisan politics in

municipalities across the country.“I know you have spent a lot of

time and effort in your position, and I know that council appreciates that,” said mayor David Pernarows-ki.

Davies served seven years as city councillor from 2001 to 2008 before being defeated. She was reelected for a third term in 2011.

Her professional life has includ-ed 45 years as music teacher.

She was one of the city’s di-rectors to the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine for four years and she also sat on the regional hospital district board for five years.

In her recent term, she was the community liaison to Educational Services and department liaison to the RCMP.

And she also sat on the Terrace and District Museum Society strate-gic committee.

Davies said she remembers fond-ly acting in plays at the McConnell Playhouse and serving as president of the BC Ladies Golfers Associa-tion.

She also co-founded the Pacific Northwest Terrace Music Festival with a friend when she was 25.

“We are proof that it can be done,” she said of the ability of people in Terrace to start something significant like an ongoing festival.

One of Davies’ final actions as a member of council is to organize the creation of a photo placard of the Terrace Freemen to put in city hall.

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

WITH � nal investment decision timelines of several lique� ed natu-ral gas (LNG) projects already being extended and a continuing swirl of activity around the world in the race to supply the product to waiting cus-tomers, the provincial government has been correctly prudent in not forecasting any tax dollars from the industry in future budget planning.

It’s also been fairly prudent and low key in working with northwest-ern local governments to prepare for what might happen should the re-gional population increase.

But where the province has been too low key and where being pru-dent has risks is its so-far muted ex-planation of the ins and outs of how the industry works right from how the gas is extracted to when it sails off overseas in its supercooled form.

The general consensus, so far, is that natural gas is relatively benign but any industry has its environmen-tal as well as social risks. And to date, the province has been strangely silent in tackling either issue in any substantive form.

A bit of a push back is starting to appear around LNG as more ques-tions emerge. And, perhaps in re-sponse and in the need to get out in front of the topic, LNG compa-nies have now formed a coalition to explain themselves. And so they should.

But that does not mean the prov-ince should be silent in its role as the guardian of the public trust when it comes to resource development.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI

EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, July 2, 2014 Terrace Standard

Our dogs have nev-er been trained to ride along; their job is to stay

home and keep an eye on our property. So taking them to the vet has always been an event and become more so as I’ve gotten older.

So long as we owned small dogs, already trained when we adopted them, or if they were physically able to jump up into the truck-box, the occasional vet trip was never a physical hassle for me or for the dog. Today ... I wish my truck was built low to the ground like 1950 Chevs that scarcely skimmed puddles.

When we bought our pickup nine years ago we chose one that would serve as a car but also do light hauling – fetching � rewood, taking garbage to the dump, bringing home lumber or other supplies.

We didn’t consider ferry-ing dogs to a vet especially dogs the size of ponies with limited mobility. Nor did we factor in how advancing age would lessen my agility.

I’ve watched German Shepherds bigger and maybe years older than this mutt leap into the box of a Ford

F350 or Dodge Ram. But they probably have been doing that since they were weaned. They look forward to another ride, ears blowing back in the wind.

They also know what footing they will land on. My dog sees shiny metal and instinct tells her that’s not secure footing for a sensible dog. She balks.

Just to climb up into the truckbox, if the tailgate is down, I must use a 13” high box constructed of 2x6s. Weathered to a dark grey, it looks and is sturdy.

This pup never unduly re-sisted climbing in using this box until she developed sore

knees, the reason for her lat-est vet follow-up.

To compensate for her sore knees, I added two more steps so she never had to rise more than seven inches at a time.

But this created a totally unfamiliar and therefore sus-picious pyramid to the scene. She would retrieve cat food from as high as the tailgate, which she could reach while standing on the ground. But she wouldn’t step up.

About then I was looking through Christy Clark’s Ac-cessibility 2024 plan of how she intends on improving ac-cessibility for all B.C. citi-zens. Page 10 shows a photo of a BC Transit bus with its drop-level-to-the-ground ramp.

I phoned Terrace Transit. Would they accept me and my hound as passengers?

“Does the dog � t in a car-rier?” she asked.

“No,” I admitted. “She’s 90 pounds.”

The lady sighed. “Sorry.”The bus ramp photo start-

ed me searching for ready-made dog ramps.

Petland has steps, but too small for my needs. Walmart and Amazon advertise a tele-scoping fold-up ramp six feet

long priced $213 or more.With fond memory I think

back to our visit in early January following successive heavy snows.

I was able to back the truck up to the snowplow ridge on one side of the vet’s parking lot, let down the tail-gate which was then level with the top of the drift, and walk the dog out of the truck as though we were on an af-ternoon walk.

Nothing could have been more convenient or safer for both of us.

The night before our lat-est vet visit I stayed awake pondering how to load the dog by myself when our visit was over. As it happened, I needn’t have worried.

After the dog’s exam the vet led her out to my truck, scooped her up, and set her down gently in the truckbox. No fuss.

He even climbed in to snap her collar securely to the cross chain at the front of the box.

His was a bonus service I didn’t expect but surely ap-preciated.

Keep calm and, very quietly, read on

Terrace Standard Wednesday, July 2, 2014 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7

“ Ssshh!” I looked up. Un-der a humming fluorescent light at her old oak desk, the librarian was frowning

at me with her finger on her lips. “Ssshh,” she said again.

I was only eight, and I had ex-citedly expressed my enthusiasm while showing my best friend the latest Hardy Boys novel. My friend looked at the librarian, and then at me, expectantly. We both shushed.

I loved the library, a source of rich and valuable entertainments. I didn’t quite understand the re-iterated need for quiet within its precincts, but shushing seemed a fair enough exchange for access to all the goodies it offered.

Then, noise seemed human, inevitable, an accepted part of the tongue tumble and traffic rumble of everyday life. Now even hum-ming fluorescents sometimes bother me.

In theory, communication transmits a message or infor-mation via some kind of code through a medium to a decoder that ultimately allows the repro-

duction and interpretation of the message. Along the way, how-ever, one almost always finds noise, a destructive element that degrades information, preventing its accurate reception.

In human conversation, thought gets coded into language which is transmitted through speech or writing. In electronic media, physical sound waves are digitized and electronically trans-mitted to a receiver that decodes the message and reconstitutes it into sound or print.

Noise can interfere in either system. Though speech or writ-ing may be technically accurate, jargon such as legalese or medi-cal terminology might prevent comprehension. The messenger might have a speech defect or a poor vocabulary. A bystander might interrupt. Perhaps there is too much ambient sound.

No wonder the communica-tions joke runs, “I know you be-lieve you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”

In Politics and the English Language, George Orwell ob-served that English “becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slov-enliness of our language makes it easier for us to have fool-ish thoughts.” Everyday speech shrinks into clichés, and political speech becomes various forms of coded propaganda.

Our electronic media add to

the problem: advertisers hector and seduce, social media mine personal data to comfort us with preferred interests, and e-mail jumbles our inboxes with essen-tial and unwanted babble.

The physical world reflects this dynamic paradigm. Roman-tic artists and traditional knowl-edge of First Nations argue that nature speaks to us if we will only listen. But are we prepared for the effort that takes, even if we can create the opportunity?

We go camping with our iPhones and rumble down high-ways pulling our fifth wheels. Bird song and the gurgle of flowing water are drowned out by quad engines and boat mo-tors. Droning lawn mowers and shrieking chain saws contaminate quiet Sundays.

Medscape.com reports that nearly one child in eight has hearing impairment in one or both ears, often due to extended exposure to personal music play-ers. Children exposed to chronic noise develop elevated blood pressure and higher levels of

stress hormones. Research shows that cognitive and language de-velopment in children from noisy homes is diminished.

Although uninterrupted sleep is a prerequisite for good physical and mental health, we are often wakened in the night by cars with boom boxes, the growling and crashing of railroad trains, and the wailing of sirens. What good is the right to privacy without the right to quiet?

In major cities such as Man-hattan, undifferentiated white noise never stops. It exists as an ongoing hum, punctuated by the sharpness of local car horns or music.

A standard method of torture is to deprive the detainee of sleep and subject him to a barrage of discontinuous, ugly, loud noise. But we live in a tortured world.

I’m now much fonder of my strict old librarian. We need to save quiet spaces, to think, and to listen to what is truly meaningful. Ssshh.

Worm-infested trees unsightlyDear Sir:

I am very concerned about the flowering crab apple trees along Lakelse Avenue that are totally denuded of leaves and covered with web worm.

It looks bad aesthetically to have numerous trees looking absolutely terrible on our main street! These ghostly looking

trees also reflect negatively on Terrace as a community and on the businesses and offices in the downtown core. It is also serious to be incubating these worms that will in turn spread to other fruit trees.

As an orchardist who is growing trees commercially I find the inaction of the city ir-

responsible and unnecessary. Terrace has the unique dis-

tinction of being able to grow a wide range of as apples, pears, cherries and plums. Terrace is the furthest north in North America that this range of fruit trees can be grown.

As a city we should safe guard this heritage and give it

the value and protection it de-serves.

I would like to see the City of Terrace have a viable plan to control these regularly oc-curring pests or to simply take the trees down and replace them with something easier to manage.

Dear Sir:Prime Minister Harper’s approval of the con-

struction of the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil and condensate pipelines subject to meeting the Nation-al Energy Board’s (NEB) 209 conditions left a very bitter taste in my mouth.

Our Prime Minister, contrary to his constant ref-erence to the so-called science-based study and re-port by the independent NEB (which in reality is a quasi government department that takes its march-ing orders from the federal government) emasculat-ed the Fisheries Act and the Habitat Section of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, preventing it from carrying out its due diligence in concert with NEB to protect fish and fish habitat on behalf of the public and First Nations.

The DFO Habitat Section at the local level was the eyes and ears as the protector of the fisheries. The federal government has a statutory responsi-bility to all Canadians to manage and protect our country’s fisheries resource. A carefully planned orchestration by the PM through the amendments to the Fisheries Act and the excuse that balanc-ing the budget takes priority, removed salmon and other fish as much as possible from the picture to minimize their influence upon the NEB conditions.

How can our Prime Minister approve the proj-ect knowing that an oil spill along one of our fast flowing mountainous rivers would be impossible to clean up? It is not possible for people or equipment to be able to access canyon areas or for that matter to even begin a cleanup at an accessible location.

The voodoo science behind the NEB position cannot be the reason our Prime Minister decided to support the project. Rather it is a gamble on his part that there will never be an oil spill and regardless of possible future consequences it is not in his DNA to say “no” to the petroleum industry.

While it would be possible to spray every 7-10 days with BTK, an organic product, to manage these pests, I realize that this would be an expen-sive option.

My advice would be to take these flowering craps down and replace them.

If the city does take these trees down, I highly advise burning them to stop these web worms from multiplying.

Also, if the city does burn these trees, please let us know where the fire is, for a number of us with fruit trees would like to show up with hot dogs and marshmallows to celebrate.

Infested trees

Dear Sir:After several emergency stays in Mills Memo-

rial Hospital in the past year, I would like to express my appreciation for the treatment received. I would like people to realize what a good facility we have in Terrace.

There are many different departments and ser-vices that are taken care of by dedicated and caring healthcare professionals.

We are also fortunate to have visiting specialists, several who have served our area for many years, who are a real asset to our community and should be acknowledged for their dedication and visits.

I, and many others, have had health care prob-lems that required treatment in other communities so we are very fortunate to have the Medevac ser-

vice also available.In passing, I would like to mention the Dr.

R.E.M. Lee Hospital Foundation and the Hospital Auxiliary, who, along with the support of the com-munity, have been a big part of enhancing health-care to our area through many equipment purchas-es. Having such equipment here has minimized the need for patients to travel to other locations for treatment. The foundation’s latest project is the up-dating to the endoscope suite.

Granted, not everyone has the best experience but most leave satisfied with their care.

I feel very fortunate to live in this part of the country and have these services available.

Two men were observed look-ing at a handgun on Lakelse Ave. Police then arrested a man inside of the Coast Cold Beer and Wine

CENTENNIAL CHRISTIAN School grads this year adopted a European custom dur-ing ceremonies held to mark the end of their secondary school education.

Following a meal held at Northwest Community College, the 15 students were each presented with a dove which they then released into the air.

The birds gathered up in formation be-fore heading back to their local home.

“It was quite something, very symbolic. It means the start of something new, a new journey,” said principal Edgar Veldman of the occasion.

The tradition is Ukrainian in origin, he said, and was the suggestion of parent Jea-nette Ewald who has lived in the Ukraine and who suggested it be used in Terrace.

“And one of the parents said he had birds and that’s how it happened,” said Veldman of Erbert Operana who supplied the flock.

The 2014 Centennial grad class at 15 students is one of the largest in the 13 years the school has offered a full secondary school education. “It’s hard to believe it’s been 13 years already,” said Veldman.

After the event at the college, grads, parents, teachers and guests gathered at the Evangelical Free Church where each grad was gently roasted in turn and various as-pects of their lives were shared with the audience.

Scholarships were handed out to the following students: Jason Bandstra, Syd-ney Mantel, Renee Ewald, Joshua Sexton, Lovene Operana, Ryan Roseboom, Jason Pires, Chelsea MacDonald, Krystal Behn-ke, Marietess Robinson, Nathan Struyk, Lucas Lanterman, Jared Terpstra. A full list is available at www.terracestandard.com.

Church lives on after sale of its buildingA LOCAL church building may be closed and sold but the church itself is not completely gone.

Christ Lutheran Church, 60-years-old this year, dwindled in congrega-tion to the point where it was put up for sale and the remaining church members joined other congregations in town.

“The one thing that is for sure with the church coming down: the church is the people, not the building,” said longtime and charter Christ Lutheran Church member Bertha Watmough.

Before the church building was constructed, the members first met in the Odd Fellows Hall when it was on Lakelse Ave. They also held services in the wing of the church building un-til the church itself was built.

At the beginning, the church had the services of two pastors from Prince Rupert who alternated and then one came from Kitimat. In 1959, the church welcomed its first full-time pastor: pastor Grandberg.

Construction on the church build-ing started after the land was cleared in 1955. What became a large section of clear glass bricks with a blue cross

on the front of the church started out as its front door. When it was decid-ed to use the other door on the wing as the main door, Bertha’s husband Gordon suggested the glass bricks in place of the front door. Someone else suggested the cross.

Originally, the congregation num-bered about 30 and when a lot of peo-ple from Europe came here after the Second World War, it swelled to more than 100 – at one time, there were 120 just in Sunday school, she said.

“But then it got that you only need-ed a church for baptism, marriage and burial, so the numbers started to go down,” added Watmough.

The final service was held June 1 with the 10 or 12 remaining members.

Lance Stephens, retired Anglican Church priest, gave the sermon that day and was the regular pastor for the last few years. He had been filling in for about 25 years when the church’s regular pastors went on vacation or between pastors.

Many members are going to the Christian Reformed Church now or the Lutheran Church of Canada here, said Watmough.

CHRIST LUTHERAN Church gave away books and other items to other churches and inter-ested people after the church building on the corner of Sparks and Park was sold last month.

By JOSH MASSEY

ON THE final distribution day of the season June 19 for the Terrace Churches Food Bank, a boy who had just celebrated his 12th birthday came in with his friends, loaded down with dona-tions.

“He asked people who came to the party to bring food instead of gifts. It was impressive to see someone, especially that age, to tell his friends to give him food donations instead of gifts,” said director of the food bank John Wiebenga.

The June four-day distribution, which took place June 16-19, was the last of the season for the food bank which will resume operations again this October.

The food bank holds four-day distributions once a month, operating from the downstairs of the Dairy Queen building on Park Ave.

Wiebenga said the number of clients who were served this past season was down by 20 per cent.

This last distribution saw 500 bags of food distributed, down from the 750 to 800 bags of a few years ago.

It’s a sign that more people are employed or that people have moved away because the housing crunch means lower income people can’t afford to live in the area, said Wiebenga.

The food bank, which is supported by area churches who supply volunteers and by donations of either money or money from individuals, community groups and businesses, doesn’t operate in the summer when money available for food increases as hydro and heating bills decline.

“This year we have really been blessed. We have enough money for [start up in] the fall. It’s probably been one of our better years,” said Wiebenga.

Both are equally legit.

HERE IS a question that came up recently: How do you pronounce Gruchy’s Beach? Gruh-chy’s or Grouch-y’s or something else?

The Terrace Standard asked this on our Facebook page and received 39 com-ments. Opinion was heavily weighted to-ward Grouch-y’s with 26 comments com-pared to Gruh-chy’s with five comments.

One person said she sometimes called it one name and sometimes said the other one.

Several people provided versions of the story of how it was named or gave their own comments that differed from other responses.

Here are some of the comments:“I was told by parks that it is techni-

cally ‘Gruchy’s’ but locals have always called it ‘Grouchy’s.’ I was also told by my family it was a man’s name.”

“I think the ‘old-timers’ that have lived here for 30+ years like myself

call it Grouchy’s. Newcomers call it (like it may have been intended) as gru-chy’s.”

“From Carol Stephens Barg: Gruchy’s Beach was named after Edward An-sell Gruchy, born Aug. 9, 1886 includ-ing his twin sister Jane Brine Gruchy at D’Escousse Cape Breton Nova Scotia, both baptized Sept. 25, 1886.

“Parents were John Philip Gruchy and Henrietta Helen (nee Weeks) re Sydney Cape Breton Nova Scotia.

“Edward Gruchy died [at] age 26 in hospital in New Westminster B.C.; his mother died in Vancouver in 1917.

“Edward, age 22, pre-empted acreage at Lakelse Lake in 1908.....I too always thought it was Grouchy’s, until I googled and found info., including that of local historian Mr. Gent.

“Think I’ll be doing some research re: family name Weeks, possibility of a con-nection with a past pioneer ‘Dad Weeks’

who I believe also originated from Nova Scotia.”

This was posted on the Terrace, BC and Surrounding Area group by Michelle Har-ris Frawley in response to this question... ...”quote from The History of Terrace (Na-dine Asante): ‘Grouchie (common usage is Gruchy) lived at Gruchy’s Beach, a very popular resort in the old days’ - First set-tler Edward A. Gruchy, then land deeded to John Philip Gruchy after Edward died. (this from Ted Johnston - Memoirs Life with Terrace Area Pioneers).”

“I always refer to it as “Satan’s Retreat” because of the blasphemous behaviour of the youth. Despicable.”

“I work there. It’s Gruchy’s!... but be-ing new to the area (From Hazeltons), I’ve learned that people here all think it’s called Grouchy’s. This was slightly confusing to me when work started and so the topic came up and it is in fact Gruchy’s.”

How do you say ‘Gruchy’s’?

Safety Tip:As the summer BBQ season and Canada Day celebrations kick off, it’s important to remember how deadly of a combination drinking and driving can be. Arrange for

a designated driver or use other options to get home safely.

Question of the WeekBob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking spot that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills?

Lincoln luxury at a non-premium priceSanta Barbara, Calif. - The MKC is the first (luxury) compact utility vehicle from Lin-coln and, while related, it’s very different from the Ford Escape. Development of both vehicles started with Ford’s global “C” platform, but other than its base 2.0 litre turbo-engine, the MKC has little else in common with its Ford counterpart. All-wheel-drive is standard (in Canada) on all three editions of the MKC and a start price just under $40,000 is also inviting compared to other luxury CUVs such as the Acura RDX ($41,390) and BMW X3 ($42,800). (A top-line Ford Escape, by the way, is listed at $35,699). The MKC is the second of four all-new product launches intended to redefine Lincoln. The first being the Lincoln MKZ last year, an all-new MKX is expected next year and a, so-far unnamed, full-sized sedan will follow. The new Lincoln styling theme includes smooth clean lines a slick shape (described as “graceful ath-leticism”) and up front, there’s a contemporary take on the traditional Lincoln split-wing grille.Another eye-catching feature of the MKC is around back, a huge wraparound lift gate includes full-width LED rear lighting assemblies. This unique one-piece hydro-formed steel door opens like a clamshell and allows complete access to the cargo area. An optional hands-free feature also allows it to open with a kick-ing motion below the rear bumper. The MKC also has a roomy feel to its interior, particu-larly for front seat occupants. A dash that slants away, towards the windshield, adds to its airy ambiance. It’s also a much quieter cabin than its stable mate, with numerous built-in sound deadening features that in-clude a noise control system that eliminates unwanted sound waves and enhances others. Available inside accent trims include brushed alumi-num or open-pore Zebrano and Santos Rosewood that

can be matched with standard, made in Scotland, Bridge of Weir “Deepsoft” leather upholstery. The premium car ex-perience actually starts as you approach the MKC with an accent welcoming lighting feature that’s automatically ac-tivated (by the key fob) when an owner is within 2.4 metres (8-ft). Our 320-kilometre-plus route took us away from the coast along the scenic Jacento Reyes Byway. This lightly trav-elled twisty two-lane road gets narrow in sections. It also presented some spectacular vistas along the way and some intimidating cliff faces and rock formations.I was impressed with the MKC’s predict-able handling characteristics through the twisty sections. It was stable, very forgiving at higher speeds and generally more agile than expected for a utility

vehicle - especially after I finally figured out how to set-up the driving modes, called Lincoln Drive Control. The normal, comfort and sport settings for the sus-pension and steering are preset (via vehicle settings on the instrument panel and customizable to a limited extent) by a driver to function with “D” and “S” transmission selections. It’s a different and somewhat complex way of providing this feature. Push-button transmission selection is another feature that I wouldn’t get excited about. I get the space-sav-ing functionality and the historic connection to Lin-coln, but still prefer a shift lever. Manual operation of the transmission’s six speeds can be done via paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The shifts, however, could be crisper and the system tends to be very pro-tective of the engine (over-revving) on downshifts. Only MKC vehicles with the new 2.3-litre twin-scroll turbo engine were available to drive at this U.S. event, which would price tag them close to $50,000 in Can-ada. An impressively smooth and quiet performer (in this application) this engine can produce 285-horse-

power compared to the base 2.0-litre’s 240-horsepow-er, which is the top engine in an Escape. As you might expect, the 2.0L engine gets better fuel economy, but the difference is minimal and both can run on regular grade fuel. All the latest driver-assist technologies are avail-able with MKC including, adaptive cruise control, a collision warning system, blind-sport alert, cross-traffic alert and park assist, with a unique new wrinkle... park-out assist. This added feature can now auton-omously steer that MKC out of that tight parallel parking spot into which it put the MKC! Lincoln may be a little late in joining the booming compact luxury utility club, but the MKC is certainly an impressively well put-together new member and it’s priced to sell.

■ Look! All gone!THAT’S JESSE Longpre showing that he’s swallowed his entire plate of french fries, cheese curd and gravy during the poutine eating contest at St. Jean Baptiste Day celebrations held June 22 at Heritage Park. Longpre was defending his first place title earned last year. Placing second was Luane Dorais Fleming who placed third last year. Daniel Vigneault was third this year.

Despite the affordability plan, Block said that the aim of this project is not for housing that would be affordable to those on social assistance or the unemployed, but that for people for instance work-ing in retail, they can expect the right price.

Coast to Coast plans to begin construction of the 102-105 unit development this summer as well as the six townhouses north of that. A Coast to Coast

development permit application filed with the city describes its townhouse plans as “an attractive de-sign with varied site setback.”

The company has applied for a variance permit to reduce the buffer along the sides by half from six to three metres and also for a modification of the front landscaping buffer to make room for parking spots.

Tahltan prep for court

The talks were also seen at the time as the follow-up to promises made by Premier Chris-ty Clark prior to the 2013 provincial elec-tion to create a land use strategy for the hotly contested lands.

But, according to McPhee, the strategic initiative lead to a tech-nical report but not a resolution.

And no agreement was reached after the March deadline for the parties involved including the Tahltan Central Council and senior representatives from various provincial

government ministries, to submit recommen-dations, although the province says “produc-tive discussions” were continuing.

According to McPhee, the govern-ment wouldn't fully ac-cept the Tahltan goal of protecting the Klappan Valley from develop-ment.

McPhee said the Tahltan case is strength-ened by last week's Su-preme Court of Canada decision which gave the Tsilqhot'in Nation ex-tensive land rights on territory west of Wil-liams Lake.

Egg farm to expand

STAFF PHOTO

PETER VERSTEEGE from Daybreak Farms with some of the daily production from its more than 30,000 chickens.

PETER VERSTEEGE bends down and picks up still-warm brown eggs from a metal-grate floor, placing them carefully in a container.

“They’re still young. They haven’t been trained yet to lay them inside,” says the operations manager for Daybreak Farms, the region’s only commercial egg producer.

We’re in one of Daybreak’s barns and all around our feet 1,000 chickens scurry back and forth, not sure, perhaps, of who has joined them. When trained the chick-ens will lay eggs inside a long wooden en-closure that runs down the middle length of the barn.

The eggs will fall on a conveyor belt taking them to a sorting area where they will be weighed, graded and packed for shipping.

The barn is one of the more modern ones at Daybreak which houses 32,400 chickens laying various varieties – white, brown, free-run and Omega 3.

The chickens run free within the barn and feed from automatic dispensers.

As time moves on, all of the barns will be modernized, providing more room for chickens to run and providing them with more natural nesting and laying areas. As many as 30,000 eggs a day are produced at Daybreak, located on the bench area of Terrace.

Chances are excellent that if you live in the area from Telkwa to Haida Gwaii, south to Kitimat and north to Dease Lake, you’ve eaten a Daybreak egg.

In addition to marketing under its own brands in stores across the region, Day-break produces eggs for the own-store brands of Save On Foods and Overwait-ea and Bulkley Valley Wholesale within the Overwaitea Food Group, Loblaw’s through the Real Canadian Warehouse and Walmart. And last fall, Daybreak began selling its own brands at Safeway stores.

That makes for a busy production and distribution schedule with Daybreak’s truck on the road constantly, says Ver-steege.

“For the truck itself, it can carry 10,000 dozen eggs,” he says.

Aside from store sales, Versteege has been busy speaking with the companies either operating work camps now or those setting up camps in anticipation of the re-gion’s potential liquefied natural gas in-dustry.

“These are very large companies with offices in Vancouver, Calgary or Edmon-ton,” he notes.

“A lot of the services are contracted out and there are many people involved. But we’re working our way through it and we keep following up.”

Daybreak Farms is unique in the prov-

ince and not only because its located in the northwest, says Versteege.

“We are a producer and a vendor, we grade our own eggs and sell our own eggs,” he notes.

“This way we are in control of our own product and we can focus on three aspects, quality, quality, quality.”

“The very large producers will only produce the eggs and they’re shipped out for grading.”

Those large producers, mostly in the Fraser Valley, account for approximately 90 per cent of B.C.’s production with an operation on Vancouver Island accounting for eight per cent.

“And that leaves us with one or two per cent for our region, for the 70,000-75,000 people who live here,” said Versteege.

“In my view that’s the difference, we are a producer, grader and vendor.”

Business is on the increase and Day-break was recently granted an additional quota of 2,000 chickens by the provincial egg marketing board.

That’ll bring its laying population to 34,200 and with it, an increase in hours for the farm’s 10 employees.

“We’ll be grading three days a week, up from two,” said Versteege.

As Versteege notes, chickens lay seven days a week and don’t take weekends off.

Daybreak Farms dates back to the early 1960s with current owners Ian and Jeannie Christison of Vancouver Island entering the business in 1991.

Versteege, originally from Holland and who had a career in the merchant marine before embarking in a new career as a software designer, moved to Vancouver Island and set up a nursery and gardening business.

It was there that he met Ian Christi-son and the offer of a job with Daybreak Farms followed in 2010.

Totem Saddle club rides on

TERRACE TOTEM SADDLE CLUB PHOTO

TERRACE TOTEM Saddle Club riders during the festivities two weekends ago.

TERRACE’S TOTEM Saddle Club’s June 22, 2014 regular Gymkhanas marked a special occasion – the return of the great outdoors.

Events kicked off around 10:30 a.m., with riders competing and displayed in events like keyhole, poles, figure eight and flags – and of course, the ever popular event, barrel racing.

But the highlight was a special ceremo-ny, held just after noon, to thank the club’s supporters for spending the last five years ensuring the outdoor arena was suitable for riding.

Nearly five years ago the club had to shut the outdoor arena because of bad foot-ing.

“It has taken this long to raise the funds and do the work to make it usable again,” said the club’s Elaine Rempel. “It is a great accomplishment and a delight to be back outdoors. We do have the indoor arena but it is smaller and harder to hold some of the events. With the outdoor arena the sky is the limit to events we can hold.”

The ceremony featured four young rid-ers – Jennifer Rempel, Justin Rempel, Dylan Currie and Meghan Glawe – car-rying flags and riding their horses to the national anthem. Club member Cathy Jackson then said a few words, followed by Terrace city councillor Brian Downie and regional district representative Ted Ramsey before the ribbon cutting ceremo-ny and a BBQ.

“Everyone had an enjoyable time, both riders and spectators, and the weather could not have been any better for us,” said Rempel.

THE TERRACE Peaks gymnastics club formally wrapped up the 2013/2014 season with year end awards and display June 21.

Gymnasts spent the afternoon showing family and friends their progress before breaking for awards, followed by refresh-ments, a cakewalk fundraiser and activities.

During the awards, Maya Ebeling re-ceived Competitive Female Gymnast of the Year for her “great dedication, a contagious, positive attitude, significant overall sports improvement and true sportsmanship be-haviour within the club and at competition.”

Ebeling said she was surprised to hear she’d won. “When I heard I was really ex-cited,” she said, noting that it’s especially motivating because she’s been battling a back injury.

And Interclub Gymnast of the Year went to Ameylia Evans. Evans “overcame many obstacles and shows perseverance in her training. She is a great role model and team player.”

Evans, who prefers competing on floor and has a background in dance, said she was “shocked” to hear she’d won.

And Pyper Testawich took home Recre-ational Gymnast of the Year.

The Liberals in the B.C. govern-ment, like the Liberals in the scandal ridden government be-fore them, and their Social Credit

forebears, like to trumpet their concern for the environment when their actions dem-onstrate they have none. Christy Clark’s crew is a distinctly brown party that at-tempts to portray itself as green in a politi-cal age when doing that wins votes.

As proof of this assertion, I offer the history of forest industry in this province. From the time of W.A.C. Bennett until only a short time ago, our forests were the gold-en goose of the provincial economy. That goose would have survived had the govern-ment the testicular fortitude to strictly en-force sustainable logging practices instead of condoning the forest mining that strafed our forests and set up the oscillating boom and bust cycles that ravaged forest based towns, like ours, for half a century.

During his time as premier, Mike Har-court and his NDP government brought in the Forest Practices Code (FPC). This was a long overdue first step on the path to re-sponsible forestry. After a period of winge-ing and whining the Forest Corporations realized it was folly to resist government fiat and bought into the program. After a media led coup unseated Glen Clark, the neoconservatives who hijacked the Liberal Party from Gordon Wilson, made the FPC optional, a move that effectively put its care and compliance in the hands of those who stood to profit most by returning to Third World forest management.

Rivers, streams, riv-ulets, ponds, and wet lands are as important to forests as your car-dio vascular system is to your body. Given this self evident truth, ratio-nal logging should be-gin with the identifica-tion and mapping of the hydrology of the forest to be logged. Once these areas are identified the utmost care should be taken to ensure their in-tegrity. After that step is achieved, and only then, should logging proceed. Unfortunately, the tim-ber most valuable to in-dustry, those trees con-taining the most board feet of lumber, grow in the valley bottoms alongside rivers and streams together with the lush vegetation in what is called the riparian zone. Obvi-ously, these areas had a magnetic attraction for loggers.

All over this province, streams were logged to the bank at enormous cost to the environment. The aquatic insects and fish suffered when the giant trees at their structural core were removed causing bank failure and siltation. When destabilized riv-ers flooded, dikes were built causing more damage. Since fish and the bugs they feed upon are the heart of the river ecology, ev-erything else suffered too.

Every river in the lower Skeena has been compromised by bad logging practises. The small tributary streams that feed them – all gen-erators of wildlife whose value to the ecosystems they nurture is in inverse proportion to their size, were treated even more shabbily. Trees were dragged through them; roads were built over them; the more fortunate were bridged; the less fortunate were culverted.

After the introduc-tion of the FPC, there was general agreement and acceptance of the

importance of riparian zones and consid-erable debate about how much vegetation should be left in those zones to provide a buffer to adequately protect ecological val-ues. Over the two decades since the imple-mentation of the FPC, the Liberals have whittled away at the what used to be know as the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Forests transforming them into a big amorphous understaffed and under-resourced institution called Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations, or FLNRO. The rationale for doing this is embedded in the Liberals’ belief that both institutions, but especially the Ministry of the Environment, were an impediment to

rapid industrial growth and the privatiza-tion of public resources.

Under the new regime, corporations and industrialists contract environmental assessment to private companies, which in turn vet their reports through the appropri-ate departments of FLNRO.

So how is the system working?According to the provincial ombuds-

man, Kim Carter, not so well. In a report issued this April, Carter fo-

cused on the regulation of riparian areas. He found that FLNRO was not meeting its own goals for reviewing the reports provided to them by the environmental contractors hired by the proponents of development.

Before 2010, the Ministry of the En-vironment used to review every proposal. When FLNRO took over the task of review and oversight they decided reviewing 1 report in 5 in each provincial region was sufficient. Having set that audit goal, they failed to meet it because of they haven’t re-sources or personnel to do so. As a result FLNRO simply doesn’t have enough infor-mation to confirm if the regulations cover-ing riparian zones are being met.

Every one of the many pipeline propos-als, the industrial proposals for the Skeena estuary, the proposed LNG plants, and ev-ery one of the independent power projects all demand environmental assessments. Unless Christy and her crew adequately staff and fund the civil servants in what used to be known as the Ministry of En-vironment, there will be no adequate over-sight for any of them.

Gymnastics club could grow

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

■ ChampsTHE TEAL team was one of the teams to come out on top at the Terrace Mi-nor Softball tournament held two weekends ago. They bested the Grey team in the Squirt cate-gory. Over 20 teams from around the area attend-ed the tournament, with games at Cassie Hall, Elks Field and Rotary Park. Mi-nor softball season in Ter-race is wrapping up, with games through June 10.

“This award goes to a gymnast who is dedicated and loves gymnastics so much she comes to drop in as many hours as she can and is also enrolled in a pre-school gymnastics program on Saturday. She shows a true love for the sport at a very young age,” said coach Ambra Marak.

Testawich, who nodded when asked if she was excited, said this is her first medal ever and she is going to keep it in her room.

And Terrace Peaks’ board member Taw-nya Schuster was awarded the Club Spirit award.

“We just wanted to recognize her for her years of service. Without the board we’re non-existent, we need the board to stay functional,” said Marak. “To volunteer for seven years it’s an accomplishment for her and a thank you from us.”

Schuster is past vice president of the

board, and is now secretary and treasurer.Schuster has watched the club grow

over the years to the point where they have wait lists every day.

While that is a sign of the club’s suc-cess and popularity in the community, for Marak it’s also a reminder that the club can’t expand in the way it would like to.

“We can grow and we have the capac-ity to grow, but we can’t because we’ve just outgrown the gym,” she said.

The club has a master plan for expan-sion, but would need a major injection of capital to make it happen.

The gym used to get enough money to be fully operational from provincial gam-ing funds.

“That was great, we didn’t have to fund-raise, kids got to go to lots of competitions, new rec equipment was being bought... and

then over the years they’ve cut back on gaming funds,” she said, noting that this year, after receiving $6,000 in grants, the club needed to fundraise $33,000 in order to break even. The club has been told not to expect any money from the provincial body next year.

With all fundraising efforts going into just keeping the gym operational, fundrais-ing for the expansion plans has to take a back seat. And Marak worries about what will happen if someday the gym doesn’t get funding or can’t make ends meet.

“Having a gym like this in Terrace is huge for the community, the community needs it,” she said, noting that there aren’t many other drop in recreation groups, espe-cially for young teens. “The gym is a really good way to get that outlet, be active and healthy.”



Elizabeth Georgina Kofoed

“She was the wind beneath my wings.”

I was her man for all seasons

In loving memory of “my precious touch of class”

Your loving husband, George.

February 17, 1934 - July 5, 2013

It is with heavy hearts that we inform our mom's many special friends of her passing Monday June 23, 2014. She passed away at Terraceview Lodge peacefully with family around her. It was her home for the last 8.5 years. Mom was 1 of 10 children born to Lillian and Chris Dixon, in Georgetown: a small lumber community close to Prince Rupert. Mom moved to Terrace in 1943 where she met the love of her life, Orville Spencer. They raised 5 children in the family home on Munroe Street. Beatrice, Benjamin, Daniel, Robert, and Trudy. Orville had been raised at Spencer Lake in the Nass; so in 1958 when the road went through it was weekends and summer holidays at the cabin. Mother was one of the ladies, with Elsa McLeod, Jane Gravling and Jean Linums who first started the Happy Gang. They spent many happy hours there. Mom was a joy, there weren't too many days, she didn't laugh or try to make someone laugh. She was a prankster. Mom loved her family, her flower garden, her chickens and her vegetables. It was hard work and a necessity to feed a large family. I am not sure about the 2 youngest children but the rest had to weed the garden; you had your choice of, in the cool of the morning before school or later in the hot sun after. Them were the days of hot sun and big winter snows. Then there was the harvest. 5 people sitting around a large metal tub filled with peas to shell. You'd just start to see the bottom of the tub, and that's when dad would come through the door with another water pail of more "PEAS" to shell. Mom was preceded by Orville in 1991 and her son Daniel in 1996 and her son-in-law George in 1978. She is survived by her daughters Bea (Stan), Trudy (Dale), her sons, Ben, Robert (Gabriel), and 10 grandchildren, 12 great great-grandnchildren, 1 brother Henry (Enid), 1 sister-in-law Jean Dixon, and 1 daughter-in-law Vivian Spencer and many nieces and nephews. Mom is already greatly missed by all but she rests in peace. Special thank you to Dr. Strangway and Dr. Brown, to the staff at Terraceview and especially to those "GEMS" that work in the "Nass" Wing.

A celebration of her life will take place in August, notice to follow. Terraceview is in great need of volunteers, there are so many who never have a vistor, some programs don't happen because there is not enough help. Drop in for a cup of tea and a friendly word. It would be a great "Blessing" to many and to yourself.

In lieu of flowers, if you so wished, please donate to Terraceview’s "Recreation Fund".

■ New homesWHEN BIRDS started taking roost at the Terrace Child Develop-ment Centre building the decision was to work with them, not against them. And that brought in Veritas woodworking students who designed and built two birdhouses which will be placed at the centre. In the back are Veritas woodworking instructor Allan McIntyre and the development centre’s Fiona Delorme. The stu-dents in the photos are Kaelyn Kubota, Theresa Moolman, Clau-dia, McKay, Kallie Edwards, Kalea Raposo, Jenna Hind, Thomas Lecky and Raistlin Magee.

MEMBERS OF the Thornhill Volunteer Fire Department are being credited with the June 26 rescue of a teenage girl from a Kleanza Creek whirl-pool at Kleanza Provin-cial Park.

“Their response to the scene made a sig-nificant difference to the outcome of this situ-ation,” said Dave Jeph-son of Terrace Search and Rescue.

The girl, 16, was shaken but uninjured.

She was taken to Mills Memorial Hospi-tal for a check up.

Jephson said Thorn-hill firefighters used skills learning during water rescue training to bring the girl to dry land.

TERRACE RCMP say they arrested a man in the 4800 Block area of Haug-land Ave. late last week after receiv-ing reports of someone attempting to break into vehicles.

The man, who fit the description

provided to police, was in possession of a flashlight and a mountain bike which police say he claims to have found. Police say the incident is un-der investigation until victims come forward.

Say, are you missing things?

Feds approve Kitsault moly mineTHE FEDERAL gov-ernment has given its approval for Avanti’s Kitsault molybdenum mine project provided the company follows a series of measures to dampen environmental and other effects.

“I have determined that the project can rea-sonably be expected to result in adverse, but not significant, envi-ronmental effects on residents of Nisga’a Lands, Nisga’a Lands or Nisga’a interests re-lated to fisheries, wild-life, migratory birds and forest resources,” noted federal environment minister Leona Agluk-kaq in an approval doc-ument released June 27.

She did lay out a number of recom-mendations identified through earlier studies that Avanti needs to fol-low.

The list includes fish, water and wildlife compensation plans.

And the list of Avanti tasks takes in snow clearing and other work along the Nass Forest Service Road (better known as the Cranberry Connector) which would be a key transportation connec-tion for road access into Kitsault.

The company would be responsible for mea-sures to minimize vehi-cle-wildlife collisions and will need to partici-pate in measures to in-crease the Nass moose population.

A further federal condition is to promote Nisga’a business op-portunities and develop Nisga’a hiring plans for

the mine.Federal approval was

bound by sections of the 2000 Nisga’a Final Agreement land claims treaty which states steps must be taken to

ease or prevent adverse environmental effects and impacts on Nisga’a citizens from industrial projects.

Avanti officials have been anticipating fed-

eral approval for some months and the June 27 announcement clears another hurdle for the project.

The company re-ceived its provincial

approval more than a year ago, signed a rev-enue sharing deal with the Nisga’a Nation last month and, last week, began clearing an ac-cess road and area to

expand a camp that’s already at the location.

It is also working on final financing needed for the $1 billion proj-ect and anticipates a full construction start next

year leading to a 2017 opening.

Molybdenum is used in steel alloys and Avan-ti is forecasting a mine life of at least 14 years employing 300 people.

A COUPLE were fight-ing in public on Strau-me Ave. and police arrested a 30-year-old man.

“A man and wom-an physically fighting walking on Straume Ave. Police arrested a 30 yr old man. He be-came combative and smashed his own head into the silent patrol-man of the police car causing minor injuries to himself,” reads the press release from the Terrace RCMP detach-ment last week.
