Arrest video release prompts officer probe A TERRACE RCMP officer is the subject of two investigations relating to his actions in the arrest of a person here May 28. An RCMP Code of Conduct investigation has started as has an investigation by a new provincial body, the Independent Investigations Office of BC (IIO), charged with looking into the actions of police officers. The officer, so far unidentified, has been placed on administrative duty for the time being, meaning he is not on patrol duty. The other two officers present at the time of the arrest are still on active duty. Inspector Dana Hart, the commanding officer of the Terrace RCMP detachment, said he ordered the Code of Conduct investigation and asked that the IIO step in with its own investigation after becoming aware of the video on Oct. 7. Taken just before 10 p.m. May 28, 2014, the video shows an officer physically restraining a male person who is on the ground in front of a business on Lazelle Ave. The person is on his stomach on the ground and appears to be showing no resistance. The video shows several
blows being administered to the back of the head of the person, one after the person was handcuffed with his arms behind his back. Hart stressed that the two investigations are independent of each other. The administrative duty provision will be assessed and could change as the investigations move along, he added. While Hart said the video, approximately two minutes in length, does not capture the specific chain of events leading to the arrest, he did say officers were responding to a 911 call. “There was a call about a fight between a male and a female on the 4700 block of Lazelle, behind the theatre,” said Hart. “There were two individuals and both were taken into custody.” The male is currently facing charges and is under the age of 18, meaning that under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, he has not been named. “I’ve been very public about this and that is that we’re held accountable for our actions,” said Hart of the steps taken since becoming aware of the incident. “That’s my expectation and that of the RCMP – that concerns
be dealt with properly.” An officer through a Code of Conduct investigation could face dismissal depending upon the results of the investigation. The video was first provided Sept. 25 to The Terrace Standard by an acquaintance of the person who filmed it and the newspaper does not know who filmed the video. Hart did ask that the person who took the video come forward so that as much information as possible can be compiled by RCMP and IIO investigators. “We want this event to be properly investigated,” he said. The same request was made by the IIO which is asking that any witnesses to the May incident come forward. The office, which came into being in 2012, is, according to its website, “mandated to conduct investigations into police-related incidents of death or serious harm in order to determine whether or not an officer may have committed an offence.” There were no immediate indications as to how long each of the investigations would take. The video, which does contain graphic content, can be viewed at www.terracestandard.com.

■■ All done WHAT SEEMED to be one of the longer roadwork projects in recent years approached a conclusion last week when asphalt was laid down to smooth the Frank St. railway crossing. The complete project involves a new set of lights on Hwy16 to control traffic on and off of Frank St. in a similar fashion to the lights at the intersection of Kenney and Highway 16. It means safer passage for trains and, in particular, for long vehicles using the Frank St. crossing. The city and the province paid for the work.

NOMINATIONS FOR local government positions closed Oct. 10 with the result being as much about the few people running for some offices as about the number running for other offices. While there is going to be a race for mayor of Terrace between two people and there 13 people running for the six council seats, only one person was nominated, current school district chair Art Erasmus, for the two Terrace seats on the Coast Mountains School District and one person, current trustee Gary Turner, was nominated for the Thornhill seat on the school dis-

trict board. Meanwhile, in the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, current Thornhill director Ted Ramsey was the only person to be nominated again for that seat and only one person, newcomer Jessica McCallum-Miller, was nominated for the seat that takes in the rural area north of Terrace stretching down south past Lakelse Lake toward Kitimat. In those situations where only one person was nominated for one seat, that person will be declared elected by acclamation. In a situation when no one was nominated, as is the case
with one of the two Terrace seats on the school board, the first step by returning officer Cathy Jackson was to extend the nomination period until yesterday. The Terrace mayoral race is between current city councillor Bruce Bidgood and a former councillor Carol Leclerc. Of the 13 Terrace council candidates, all of the current councillors are running again – Lynne Christiansen, James Cordeiro, Brian Downie, and Stacey Tyers. Don Dunster, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2011, is now trying for a council seat.

Woman found dead in river THE PROVINCIAL coroner’s service has taken over the investigation into the death of a 48-year-old woman here last week. Rochelle Parrent, from Alberta, was first reported missing Oct. 7 to police from a residence she was staying at on Braun’s Island.
A search then ensued and Parrent was found late in the afternoon of Oct. 8 partially submerged in the Skeena River on the island, a police release stated. Foul play is not suspected. When the search began, it is believed Parrent may have gone on a bike ride. She was not
an avid bike rider, said police, and mainly rode on the Grand Trunk Pathway trail. An online posting from Calgary-based Local 212 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), the union which represents workers in the film industry
and television workers, described Parrent, who professionally went by her married name of Rochelle Pomerleau, as an Emmy Award-winning makeup artist. That award was granted in 2007 for her work on the TV movie “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,” a
chronicle of the displacement of American aboriginal people as settlement moved west. “We are completely shattered by this unexpected news and she is deeply missed by our entire community,” said Damian Petti, the president of IATSE Local 212.
Other credits attributed to Parrent include makeup work on “Passchendaele,” a 2008 movie about experiences of several people during the First World War and 2010’s “Gunless,” a Western about an American gunslinger who encounters a friendly Canadian town.

Rural garbage service start moves closer AT THE end of last week, the regional district received approval from the Ministry of Environment for its garbage collection service. That paved the way for the topic to be put on the agenda for the October 24 meeting so the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine board of directors can vote on it. “We have been given approval to proceed with the adoption,” said Roger Tooms, manager of works and services for the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. If it does make the October board meeting agenda, then Tooms said he expects to recommend that the service be started this year, he added. “I’ll probably

recommend it commence this year unless we start to see four feet of snow [soon].” The regional district doesn’t want to launch the program in the midst of poor driving conditions and if that’s the case, it would have to decide whether the service should be postponed until spring, he explained. The bylaw for the service has already been read for all three of the required readings by the board. The board had intended to vote on adoption of the garbage collection service at its September board meeting but the lack of an approval from the ministry put that on hold. Letters to let residents know that the expected start date of
Oct. 6 had been delayed were sent out afterward, he added. And Geier Waste Management, who was the successful bidder for the service contract after it put in its request for proposal, was also contacted by the regional district to see if it would agree to extend the award period beyond the agreed upon date. Within Geier’s bid on the contract was a time frame in which to offer or award the contract, and since that date was going to be passed, the award time needed to be extended with an agreement between the regional district and Geier, explained Tooms. Geier replied and agreed so the award period was extended, said Tooms.

TAHLTAN CENTRAL Council president Chad Day with Tahltan elder and activist Lillian Moyer.
Annual General Meeting Saturday, Oct. 25th, 2014 7:00 pm
3816 Dejong Crescent Everyone Welcome
Tahltan head criticized ELECTED JUST this past summer as president of the Tahltan Central Council, 27-yearold Chad Day has come under heavy criticism for comments made about a Tahltan faction that’s been blocking access to the nearly-completed Red Chris copper mine which is located on Tahltan traditional territory. Through Facebook, Day referred to the Klabona Keepers as a “handful of Tahltans [who] have turned this entire situation into a circus.” That prompted members of the Klabona Keepers, which have been mounting the blockade because they’re worried about the mine’s tailings pond design, to separate themselves from the central council. But now Day, in an interview, says he hopes to salvage a relationship with the group. “I think people have just misinterpreted what I said and who I was saying it towards,” said Day. “I guess some people felt that I was somehow insulting our elders and that’s not what I was doing at all, I basically made some comments because I felt there were individuals who were spreading a lot of misinformation and that it was very disrespectful to the Tahltan Nation to be making comments that were not true about our culture and our traditions and our laws.” The Klabona Keepers have had a history of mounting blockades primarily to block access by resource companies to the Klappan area which holds historical and cultural significance to the Tahltan
people. Their latest blockade, assisted by members of the Secwepemc First Nation from the interior and other environmental activists, went up Sept. 29. The Secwepemc traditional territory takes in the Mount Polley copper mine, also owned by Imperial, and it was the failure of that mine’s tailings pond in August which then focussed attention on Red Chris. Day also referred to non-Tahltan people in another social media posting by saying, “I will continue to represent the entire Tahltan Nation which is a lot different than answering to a handful of Tahltans and the non-Tahltan individuals who pay them to blockade and write their press releases. The Tahltan people as a whole are very reasonable and progressive and this internal matter will be dealt with appropriately in time. The Tahltan Nation will continue to move for-
ward in a good way.” Day said the eventual Tahltan Central Council position regarding the Red Chris mine will be resolved in a vote giving the thumbs up or thumbs down on an agreement currently being negotiated between the council and Imperial Metals. While the council has signed other agreements, called impact benefit agreements approved through votes, with other resource companies in Tahltan territory, Day said this one will be different because of a court decision this past summer in the Chilcotin which strengthens aboriginal title. “Normally it would be called an IBA, an impact benefit agreement,” said Day. “But after Chilcotin the message I am going to be sending to the Tahltan Nation and to the world is that we don’t do impact benefit agreements, we do co-management agreements with industry nowadays.”
Aside from any agreement, the central council is also waiting for the results of an independent assessment of the Red Chris tailings pond. Imperial is paying for the assessment but the council chose who is doing the assessment. The provincial government, the Tahltan Central Council and Imperial Metals have already agreed that the mine will not open until results of the review of the tailings storage facility provide assurance that it can be operated safely. As well, Imperial lacks one crucial provincial government permit and that’s to permit it to discharge effluent. In any event, the mine is still not fully connected to B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line to provide it with the necessary power to run its machinery. Once the review is completed, Day said the central council will hold community information sessions.

A 1926 portrait now in Ottawa is important to the Kitselas people By ANNA KILLEN
n late summer and early autumn of 1926, a delegation that included Canadian government officials, artists, researchers, and anthropologists toured the lands along the Skeena River. Their reasons for the trip conducted by railway were many ranging from meetings with west coast representatives to simply experiencing what was, thanks to the railway, becoming one of the more popular tourism routes of that era. But at least one anthropologist, Marius Barbeau with the National Museum of Canada, was there to document what he believed were the “vanishing races” of Canada, First Nations. That hypothesis would, of course, turn out to be incorrect. But the documentation he and others collected on that trip along with information collected several decades earlier would play an important role in northwest B.C. First Nations looking to reclaim their culture and assert their rights decades later. “These are like our bibles,” says Cyril (CJ) Bennett-Nabess while leafing through history book first editions, some dating back to the 1800s, at the Kitselas Treaty Office on Queensway Drive. “They thought we were going to be extinct. They recorded these because they thought the culture was going to be lost and put into a museum, and then to their surprise, 112 years later we’re still here.” The irony is not lost on Bennett-Nabess, a recent graduate of the Freda Diesing School of Art at Northwest Community College. He’s providing context to the print portrait of Kitselas hereditary chief Samuel Wallace (Sm’ooygit Guam) that’s hanging in his office. The original of that print is part of what is sure to be a steady push to return Kitselas art as Kitselas gets closer to treaty completion. The print is one of 10 produced for the Kitselas after a researcher on Vancouver Island alerted them to the original portrait’s whereabouts – the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, where its been part of the permanent collection since 1927. The sketched portrait depicts the chief, who was leader of the raven clan and the Kitselas (Gitselasu) people in the early 1900s, in dark charcoal with red accent on parchment. It was one of several works created by Edwin Holgate – who would later go on to become a member of the Group of Seven – during his trip to the area as part of the 1926 delegation. Along with the portraits, Holgate painted landscapes and totem poles in Gitxsan territory, and, according to an essay by art historian and Holgate expert Sandra Dyck that was part of the 2005 Holgate exhibition at the Montreal Mu-
NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA/ANNA KILLEN PHOTO
LEFT, A digital print of Edwin Holgate’s Tsimshian Chief. The 1926 original is part of the National of Canada’s collection in Ottawa. The headdress is at the Northern Museum of British Columbia in Prince Rupert and is made of tightly weaved cedar, 20-30 seal lion whiskers sticking out from the top. “The little front part we call am’halayt. Am’halayt is another word for peace. It’s also the frontlet that our chiefs wear on their head dresses.... And so he would dance this in times of war, in times of grief, in times of celebration. It was said that a chief would dance for their people. I’d have to say he’s one of the last chiefs we had that danced,” said Cyril (CJ) BennettNabess, pictured above showing the description of Wallace on the back of the print hanging in his Kitselas office.
seum of Fine Arts, the artist later recalled that he and other artists “cruised back and forth freely” while in the area. Their passage was also free – secured by Barbeau from the government with the promise that the artists would produce “commercially exploitable images that would generate support for his wider vision of developing a distinctive national art” and promote the area as a tourist destination, Dyck writes. The “appropriation and commodification” of northwest B.C. First Nations culture during this trip paralleled the groups’ “struggle to preserve their sovereignty,” says Dyck, noting another parallel – that the economic benefits of the trip would also not be realized by the First Nations. She details tension during the 1926 trip – the artists were banned from the village of Gitanyow, and in Gitsegukla, residents were critical of government attempts to restore totem poles – totem poles that just a few years earlier had been cut down. Residents were prohibited from raising more.
Indeed, in one group photograph of chief Wallace and others – dressed in their best Sunday suits, not their ceremonial garb – a totem pole stands amongst the group. Bennett-Nabess tells me that that totem pole was cut down and had been propped up for the picture. It’s hard to imagine the group willingly hosting offshoots of a government that had dismantled and nearly destroyed their culture – but Bennett-Nabess says the chiefs welcomed them with respect and ceremony, as they would welcome noble chiefs and matriarchs from any other nation and as they had been doing for thousands of years. The group photograph was taken at the beginning of the delegation’s tour, not far from the area Wallace was from – Gitlax’dzawk, which means people of the fortress, down river from Gitaus, people of the sandbar, and Ts’unyow, the landing place, at one of the arms of the canyon where the water changes. The group would stop at various spots before landing in Port Essington where the Skeena broadens
out to the Pacific Ocean. It’s here Holgate would draw the portrait of Wallace – and where initial negotiations between the government of Canada, Kitselas, and Kitsumkalum would take place that same trip. “It was the beginning of the Tsimshian land question,” says Bennett-Nabess. Now, many years later, Kitselas and Kitsumkalum are nearing treaty completion with the expectation of holding votes on respective final agreements within two years. And that means wheels are in motion to identify and repatriate artwork from all over the world, like Holgate’s portrait. Some might argue that because the sketch was by a Canadian artist, part of a national research delegation, it’s not true Kitselas art. But Bennett-Nabess says that because of the context in which that artwork was created, it is part of the historic Kitselas record. Bennett-Nabess says court decisions back up this view and “give further ownership over our intellectual property. Intellectual prop-
erty is a sketch of our chief that was done in 1926 ... I know some people would say otherwise, but just like how people interpret court decisions, we’re interpreting court decisions to take an ownership over anything that has an image of Kitselas, or anything to do with Kitselas or our entities.” A Kitselas museum to showcase any reclaimed artifacts is still some time away. After the Nisga’a signed their treaty in 2000, it took over a decade until money was made available for one. Until then, prints like the one of Wallace – and talks to have the original loaned to the Museum of Northern British Columbia in Prince Rupert – are enough for Bennett-Nabess and other leaders. “We’re very happy that we got these back,” he says. “It will allow our people to know who Sm’ooygit Guam was better, to be able to see his face and see his frontlet and see the look of strength and nobility on his face because of the house he came from. It’ll almost give our people a sense of community pride.”

EDITORIAL
Co-op cost CURRENT Terrace city council members (and even those who are now candidates in hopes of becoming first-term council members) can be forgiven for thinking they may need chestwaders soon, considering the fiscal waters associated with the Terrace Co-op lands keep rising. The $1 million price tag paid by the council of the day back in 2005 and then the nearly $370,000 to demo the former retail centre building was one thing, but now the ongoing expense of dealing with whatever contaminants may be below the surface in order to get an environmentally clean bill of health to fully sell a large portion of the lands on Greig Ave. to a Calgary hotel developer is another thing altogether. Although the city may have received nearly $200,000 in senior government grants so far to offset what it’s spent on environmental investigation work (and two thumbs up to the city for getting that money) council two weeks ago reluctantly is now dipping into its own bank account for a further $69,000 for more work. It hopes to double that amount through another grant but after having once used city accounts, the temptation to do so again for this property may be impossible to resist. And that’s simply because the city needs the work done in order to sell the land. But whether the whole project will ever be considered a benefit to taxpayers? That’s a question still several years from being answered. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Executors could use a ‘thank you’ card
O
ur wide selection of greeting card categories offers verses sentimental, humorous, and all forms in between to convey best wishes on birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, retirement, the gamut of human endeavours. But until last Thursday I never realized you have left out one category that cries out for a selection of its own. You have no card designed to thank an executor for successfully winding up an estate without sibling arguments over who got what, no court challenges by fringe relatives, or hurt feelings that can fester and ruin Christmas dinners for years into the future. When we think of drawing up a will, we may approach a relative or trusted friend to ask them if they would be willing to be executor of our estate. We may do this without fully understanding how time-consuming and stressful the role of executor can be. Uppermost in our mind is choosing an executor whom we trust to be fair, honest, diligent in observing the law to the letter to avoid legal

THROUGH BIFOCALS
CLAUDETTE SANDECKI hitches bound to fritter away the deceased’ hard earned estate, someone who will navigate the potential disagreements to reach a satisfying conclusion for everyone. The executor is charged with gathering up all the deceased’ assets – land, house, money, investments, personal items and other assets; safeguarding all property beginning with changing door locks and putting valuables in storage; notifying all beneficiaries; paying all outstanding debts; paying income tax; and finally distributing whatever is left of the estate. As if it’s not stressful
enough notifying beneficiaries who may not have been in frequent contact, finding all financial documents some of which may be tucked in odd corners, and doing the work of a lawyer and an accountant, divvying up personal belongings can be a minefield as the executor strives to be fair to all. Thirty-two years ago my older brother acted as executor for our father’s estate, an estate more complicated than Mom’s (his first experience as executor a few years earlier). Mom and Dad held everything in joint ownership. Her estate went to Dad. Joint ownership speeds up succession from one spouse to the other as the will doesn’t need to be probated, a court proceeding which generally takes a minimum of six months. Dad’s estate dealt with several pieces of property that had to be sold, a home full of treasured pieces of furniture and personal belongings to be divided among six kids, and scattered financial records which had been too much for him to file properly in his ailing health. To distribute personal belongs, my brother had each
S TANDARD
heir in rotation name a family memento they would like to have. So far as I am aware, no one ever felt shorted. I was perfectly satisfied with the disposition of Mom and Dad’s belongings. But until our conversation last Thursday I had never told my brother that. Nor has anyone else. Why not? Why did I never think to say to my brother, “Thank you for a job well done.” Surely in 32 years an opportunity would have cropped up? I was oblivious to the monumental task my brother had taken on and executed so well. I took it for granted he had been asked to be Mom and Dad’s executor, and as kids, we did our duty without expectation of a thank you, or praise such as the ”Good job!” today’s parents utter after every little thing their kids do. I didn’t even consider that during the months my brother spent evenings and weekends away from his family tending to our parents estates he, too, was grieving. Hallmark could prod us by printing a card heirs could sign to convey to executors the gratitude we owe them.

TWO SUBMARINES, the CC1 and CC2, were bought by the Province of B.C. at the start of the First World War.
The Kaiser had designs on B.C. Dear Sir: During the next four years, we’ll be reading material of the Great War. My story from a book written by author A.J. McKelvie involves the German Kaiser’s great invasion of B.C. Just as the U.S. saw eastern Canada as the weakest link in its war against the British Em-
O
pire in 1812, the Kaiser apparently saw western Canada as the weakest link in stopping the U.S. entry into the First World War. The RCMP were the intelligence gathering agency at this time and they got a report from a coal barge operator that a German warship was out of fuel and required his services
in American waters. The ship had been on a goodwill mission to the States. The operator received his orders in a sealed envelope from a couple of German-accented men with orders not to open it until he was in American waters. He didn’t wait, knowing a German accent probably meant German spies. He called
the RCMP who visited him and discovered the plan to reload the warship with coal before coming north of the 49th parallel. The invasion was on. Premier McBride had been worried about not having a naval presence on the west coast (the naval headquarters for our shores were in Winnipeg).
Dear Sir: Joy Thorkelson has made some wrong assumptions in her letter to the editor of Oct. 1. She continues to oversimplify the harvest rate conservation of Skeena River sockeye salmon. Her opinion, as she has said so many times in the past, is that there has been an over escapement of Babine Lake enhanced sockeye stocks. She claims that a surplus of 1.1 million sockeye ended up in the lake that were harvested by First Nations. If the Babine Lake First Nation fishery had not taken place, those same fish could have been harvested by commercial fishermen at the mouth of the Skeena River creating a boon to Prince Rupert and area to the tune of about $6 million. Is Joy implying that the Babine First Nation fishery is not a wise harvest strategy at the source where almost no bycatch of other species occurs (other than large lake rainbow and lake char)? We suspect this lake fishery generated considerable income that was a big boost to the economy of the upper river communities and to Prince Rupert where the fish were processed. Joy also said that Skeena Wild Conservation Trust, through a fundraising event, has a goal to stop future increases in commercial sockeye harvest rates. We are not sure if that is the trust’s goal but it is the goal of our Northern Branch of the Steelhead Society of BC and a number of other conservation and angler organizations who are very concerned over the slow rebuilding of Skeena summer steelhead stocks. Joy also said that Skeena steelhead are at record numbers this year but from where did she obtain that information? The latest data from Mark Beere, Senior Fishery Biologist for the Provincial Fishery Branch, Skeena Region, Smithers is from September 17, 2014.

Bait ban plan a slippery slope for anglers
kay, so I gave the draft bait ban (Provincial Framework for Steelhead Management in BC) a read. Like other wellmeaning regulation, it appears justified because the authors say, “It’s All About The Fish.” Like many of you, because I don’t fish with bait, this new regulation meets little opposition from me. After all, as an elite fly fisherman of superior intellect, why should I care if bait is banned? I’ll tell you why, but first know the prior sentence was made tongue-in-cheek to get your attention. While I most certainly do not feel this way, unfortunately many of my fellow wellintentioned fly fishermen possess an inherent need to advance their method at the expense of others. This is why I care and why you should, too. While I am in agreement with provisions relating to release procedures, the bait ban is yet another slip down their slippery slope. They skillfully articulate a cause to ban one method at a time by enlisting the support of
remaining anglers. Each method is demonized then banned until their habitat is exclusive to flyfishing only. While you spey anglers may think you belong to their club, I am warning you. Two-handed rods with sink tips that deliver half a chicken while hugging the bottom is not fly-fishing in the eyes of these elites. Think this fact through before you join hands with them. Next they will ban flossing, bouncers, floats, spin casters, sink tips, weighted flies and finally maybe even spey rods. They float this red-herring every time to support each step of their exclusive agenda. Sport angling harm to steelhead stocks is negligible when compared to commercial seiners and gill nets. If elite concern for the fish were genuine, they would unite rather than divide sport anglers to take on this greater threat. Additionally, we need remind elites the Skeena had a record steelhead return just five years ago. Each time they declare a problem, there is an un-forecast-
GUEST COMMENT
JIM BENSON ed record return of each species. This year it is sockeye. This latest red-herring they put forward to support this ban claims bait catches too many steelhead. First, I would argue that the practice of “flossing” has a much higher incidental steelhead catch rate. Also, many heavily tipped lower Skeena fly anglers think they are fly-fishing when in fact they too are often
flossing fish. While bait is now easier to demonize what does tomorrow bring? Whatever their cause defacto, it is also true that regardless the method, some skilled anglers catch an inordinately high number of fish. Some of the elite fly anglers behind this ban are very skilled. By their own measure maybe these self-appointed guardians should voluntarily remove themselves from the river. Maybe riverside enforcement should be tasked with assessment of individual abilities and revoke the licence or limit river access of highly skilled anglers. Again, the last sentences are for effect but the message here is that maybe, just maybe, those promoting this latest ban should have an honest look within. I do not believe there is a problem. However, if the numbers of released steelhead is in fact an issue, then maybe a more equitable approach should be enacted. If anything, maybe a limit should be placed on the number of releases at which time, regard-
less the method, an angler must vacate the river. My opinion is one released steelhead per day is enough in tributaries as steelhead near their wintering and spawning waters. This would also help mitigate crowding and encourage smaller groups. I would propose this rule only be in effect on years that returns are under a certain established threshold. Maybe if elites are faced with equitable giving, rather than taking, they will not be so quick to the charge. The other thing that bothers me – as a youngster, I caught my first fish with a simple bobber and bait. That has always been coveted as a memorable life experience. Must we take this simple pleasure away from youths whom more than any prior generation are disconnected from the wilderness? If anything should be banned from the Skeena watershed, maybe it should be the discriminate use of red-herring. Angler Jim Benson lives in California and visits the area each year.

The local election race is on He is being joined by Lucy Praught, Allan McIntyre, Noelle Bulleid, Michael Prevost, Sean Bujtas, Brenda Wesley, and Craig Lyons. The 13th candidate, Jessica McCallumMiller, who turned 21 Oct. 10, is the same Jessica McCallum-Miller who was the only person to file for the rural Terrace area seat on the regional district. Cathy Jackson, the chief election officer for all three local government elections, confirmed that McCallum-Miller has been nominated for both Terrace city council and the regional district. “Yes, she can,” said Jackson of McCallumMiller’s dual nominations. Jackson said she checked into that possibility before nominations began as there was a query about someone wondering if they could be elected to city council, to the regional district and to the school

If elected to city council and if named by acclamation to the regional district, McCallum-Miller could not then also serve as the city-appointed director on the regional district board. Speaking late last week, McCallum-Miller said she originally wanted to run only for
Terrace city council but then also decided to run for the regional district seat. “I want to run for the people behind the curtains that don’t normally get applauded,” she said, noting she has volunteered for several social causes and that running for council has been a dream of hers
since she was 16. She said she wants to be part of the changes underway in the area. While only Art Erasmus has been nominated for one of two Terrace school board seats and Gary Turner is the only person to be nominated for the Thornhill seat, there’s a bit more of a race in Kitimat. Running for the two Kitimat seats on the school board are incumbent Raymond Raj and newcomers Tim Carter and Margaret Warcup. Angela Brand Dauser, a former mayor of Stewart, is the only person to be nominated for the school board seat there and in the Hazeltons, Shar McCrory is the only person to be nominated for that area’s school board seat. For the Kitimat-Stikine regional district, Harry Nyce Sr. was the only person to be nominated for the Nass Val-
ley and Meziadin area but Linda Pierre and Dean Paranich will contest the Hazelton rural area and Kispiox seat. Dave Brocklebank is in by acclamation
for the regional district seat covering Telegraph Creek, Iskut and Bob Quinn. And Edith Carrier and Tina Etzerza face each other for the Dease Lake area seat.

Kia joins the growing list of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers with Soul EV, a clever adaptation of its tall 5-door compact with the funky styling. Although still a small slice of the overall car market, EV sales are growing rapidly and The Kia Soul EV so is the public charge station definitely rocks and infrastructure that’s crucial to its success, especially in urban is a must-drive for areas. anyone considering A digital readout showed 187 an EV km of driving range available as we headed out on a test Bob McHugh loop around Metro Vancouver. And after about 30 minutes of, no special treatment, driving with frequent stops, starts, hill climbs and descents, the Soul EV showed 162 km was still available. That’s relevant, as the Soul EV’s officially rated driving range is 149 km. In addition to being quiet and fuel-free, Soul EV effectively matches the practical user features of its gasoline counterpart. It can seat 4 to 5 passengers and has the same large rear cargo area. Kia’s polymer (electrolyte) lithium ion battery pack is compact and easier to hide than others, as is can be molded into different shapes. In Soul EV it’s centrally fitted under the seats and a raised rear floor pan. The gasoline engine is replaced by a 109 horsepower liquidcooled AC synchronous permanent magnet electric motor that can generate a whopping 210 lb-ft of torque. That’s 59 lb-ft more than the 2.0-litre gasoline engine version of Soul. Standing starts were not as jumpy as other electric vehicles tend to be and the overall performance of the electric drivetrain was impressively smooth. Charger ports for the battery pack are hidden behind a hinged cover in the front grille. The smaller port accepts either a 120 volt (level 1) or a 240 volt (level2) charge connector. A portable level 1 unit is stored in the vehicle and Kia Canada will also provide Soul EV buyers with a level 2 charge unit (made by Bosch) for home installation, free of charge. The charger unit can also be used to pre-heat or pre-cool the Soul EV, while plugged into the grid. You can also program it to start or complete charging at a certain time. The level 1 charger plugs into any electrical outlet, but can take up to 24-hours to fully recharge the battery pack. A level 2 charger (with 30 amp service) cuts the maximum recharge time to under 5-hours. And a level 3 fast charge station can

Soul EV is only available through selected Kia dealers in major Canadian urban centres (Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver). Unlike Quebec and Ontario, however, BC’s incentive program for eco-friendly vehicles ran out of cash back in March of this year. Soul EV does qualify for an $8,000 federal government rebate and that certainly helps make the purchase price more palatable. The Kia Soul EV definitely rocks and is a must-drive for anyone considering an EV in
this price range.

From Page A7
The German Kaiser had B.C. in his sights So he purchased two submarines from a Seattle shipyard originally intended for the Chilean Navy and had them spirited under cover of darkness to Victoria. There were British and Japanese warships in Canadian waters at this time and all were called upon to find the German ship, provide it with the coal and give it an escort to the Panama Canal. The coal barge operator went to Nanaimo to visit his brother. The British warship escorted the Kaiser’s ship to L.A. where it bade it farewell and promised destruction if it was ever seen again. Had the warship been caught in Canadian waters it would have had to self-destruct before capture. Meanwhile A.J. McKelvie, then a police newspaper reporter, was talking the case over at RCMP headquarters. He later was given a Vancouver police badge and gun for his knowledge of CSI (crime scene investigation), the new science emerging in the 1920s. When
he came upon a crime scene, he would counsel policemen on CSI techniques he learned by attending many conferences for his newspaper. One officer had been listening to the story of the German warship and brought out a bulletin from the Kamloops RCMP regarding the “largest ranch” north of Texas operated by a man with a German accent. There were no cattle on the ranch but the Germans there were simply building corrals and bunkhouses, etc. The RCMP, and McKelvie, got into their cars and drove to Kamloops. With assistance from the Kamloops police, they visited the “ranch.” The local police had already visited the place to no avail. They had been alerted by the sawmill owner who had trouble keeping up with the demand. Again, the German accent was the giveaway. The Q&A went like this: What do you plan to do with this place? Raise cattle for market. Where’s the cattle? On

the way north. Why are you building such a large ranch? We’re expecting a lot of cattle. And so on... They took him back to the police station and put him in a cell. After some discussion on what to do with him, McKelvie had an idea. He walked back to the cell block and, with a stamp of his boot heels, briskly said, “Achtung!” The Kaiser’s man snapped to attention. He was expecting intervention from the German invaders anytime. Suddenly realizing he’d been tricked, he confessed to the plans when taken to the interview room. It had been the Kaiser’s own plan. The “ranch” owner had been funded to prepare a POW camp for the leaders of B.C., including all the mayors, MLAs, MPs, possible resistance leaders, etc. The German warship had been sent to start the ball rolling. He was told the warship was on its way home in defeat. After taking over western Canada, they
would invade Ottawa and then move south to Washington, D.C., thus leaving Europe at the mercy of the Kaiser and his military. McKelvie wrote that the military camps south of the border would have been alerted and the Americans would have intervened to stop the invasion before it got into Alberta. If this story is true, it must be locked away in a TOP SECRET RCMP file somewhere. I read the McKelvie account along with his involvement in the death of Brother 12, Canada’s false prophet. Brother 12 was a New Age cult leader believed to have died at sea after he had his compound wired so he could eavesdrop on the entire property. He would then expose any dissidents talking amongst themselves. When McKelvie heard about the eavesdropping, he called the police and they raided the colony, which led to the dissidents chasing Brother 12 out to sea. Brian Gregg, Terrace. B.C.
Stop the gillnetting It refers to an estimated 31,821 steelhead escapement. The annual average escapement for these fish is 35,739. Contrary to her information, the report shows a decline in the number of steelhead rather than a record increase? The Pacific Stock Assessment Review committee established a maximum sustained yield target number of 35,000 steelhead which has only been achieved 13 times (22 per cent) out of 58 years the Tyee Test Fishery has operated. We think many more years of rebuilding will be necessary before the target is met. Joy said the Skeena Wild goal is to encourage a larger steelhead sport fishery. We doubt that is the case. Fisheries conservation is the Skeena Wild mandate, they are not an advocate organization for anglers. “Sadly” the fish politics and the debate over the “bycatch of steelhead, other salmon and small distinct sockeye stocks” will never stop so long as there is a gillnet fishery. It is “impossible” to create a selective fishery that will not catch other species and stocks. This fishing method has to stop or alternately reduce the number of gillnetters to a more manageable 100 or less boats in Area 4 that must not be allowed to fish known areas where steelhead congregate.

French immersion bcclassified.com enrolment climbs THE COAST Mountains School District (CMSD) is on track with the rest of the province when it comes to students enrolled in French immersion, according to a report released earlier this month. French immersion enrolment in British Columbia has been climbing for 16 consecutive years, reads an Oct. 1 release from Canadian Parents for French (CPF) BC and Yukon, a French Immersion advocacy group, touting the just-released report, the 2014 State of French Second Language in BC & YK. Terrace’s French immersion school is Ecole Mountainview, located in the bench neighbourhood. It has seen enrolment increase over the last few years. As of last year, “there were 423 students in French immersion in Coast Mountains, or 8.5 per cent of all students in the school district.” Provincially, a similar picture is shown, with 8.8 per cent of public school students enrolled in French immersion, reads the report. In this district, French immersion enrolment numbers have been steadily increasing since the 2008/2009 school year, accord-

While enrolment overall in the district has decreased over the last six years, French immersion enrolment has increased by 27.4 per cent, the report continues. “We believe French programs are popular in Coast Mountains because they are widely recognized by parents as providing young students with the tools and experiences that will enrich their lives and help them prepare for
the future,” said CPF president Patti Holm in the release. “We urge parents, educators, and local decision makers to work together to plan for French immersion growth and to improve learning outcomes through standardized benchmarks and authentic learning experiences.” There are over 187,000 students in BC learning French through the basic Core French program, or one-third of all students, reads the report.

Top awards nominees announced on Friday TOP NOMINEES FOR this year’s Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards are to be announced this Friday. And that will kick off a round of voting to decide the eventual winner in each category. Sponsors of the awards gathered for a luncheon at the Thorn-
hill Pub Oct. 8 to choose those who will be placed in the voting pool. The voting pool was taken from submissions sent in by members of the community. The awards consist of 14 categories ranging from top executive of the year to rookie business of the year and newsmaker of the year.
More wood to China THE PROVINCE has signed another agreement it expects will increase wood exports to China. This time forests minister Steve Thomson signed a deal with officials in Jiangsu province to increase the use of wood-frame construction. The agreement provides for more wood-frame construction research, exploration of locations where wood-frame construction can be used and joint promotion of the use of wood in the construction of buildings in China.
FALL CLEAN-UP WEEK October 27 – 31, 2014
Extra refuse is collected from City customers, without charge, during fall clean-up week. Please have the extra waste material in plastic bags or cartons to assist in the pickup, and set it out on your regular refuse collection day (but it may not get picked up until later in the week). Branches and limbs must be bundled. This service does NOT include tires, propane tanks, or items normally charged for at the Terrace Landfill (such as commercial waste, construction and demolition waste, car bodies, stumps, and major appliances), nor any items accepted at EPR Drop-Off locations (such as electronics, batteries, paint, pesticides, and flammable liquids). For a full list of EPR locations, please see www.terrace.ca or call Public Works Enquiries at 250-615-4021.
Chamber executive director Carol Fielding said she was pleased with how the awards are going this year. “We always appreciate our sponsors,” she said. There will be three ways to vote on category winners this year – an online form, via a fax blast to be sent out by the chamber once the voting pool has been announced and via a ballot to be place in The Terrace Standard on Oct. 22.
Fielding said it is important to note that voting is not restricted to chamber members. Anyone from the community is welcome to vote, she added. The top nominees will be announced at a reception being held at the Skeena Golf and Country Club. Voting closes on Oct. 31. The winners themselves will be announced Nov. 22 at a chamber dinner and gala.

Scam used to steal identity TERRACE RCMP are reporting that personal information was stolen in a clever email scam that looked like it came from the Canada Revenue Agency. A woman received an email from what she thought was the Canada Revenue Agency citing that she was to receive a tax refund for a specific amount of money. This money would be deposited directly into her bank account upon completion of an online form that asked for date of birth and social insurance number. “The woman stated that she typically does receive a refund in the amount that was indicated in the email at this time of year. It made the whole thing seem more credible,” said Constable Angela Rabut from the Terrace RCMP detachment. “Never send personal information by email or phone, especially if the original contact was not made by you,” she said. Police have the following advice if you have been a victim of identity theft: • Start a log of dates, person(s) that you spoke with and exactly what they said. • Contact the fraud departments of each of the two major credit bureaus, request that a “Fraud Alert” be placed in your files and at the same time order copies of your credit reports. Equifax: (866) 828-5961 Trans Union: (800) 663-9980. • Contact the fraud department of creditors for any accounts that have been opened or tampered with fraudulently. This may include credit card companies, phone companies, banks and other lenders. • File a report with your local police or the police in the community where the identity theft

Tax regime key issue for LNG producers M U LT I NAT I O NA L LIQUEFIED natural gas (LNG) companies may be competitors when selling the product around the world but they’ve enough in common to lobby for mutually beneficial causes. Topping that list is a tax regime in B.C. that’s acceptable to the companies who make up the newly-formed B.C. LNG Alliance, said its president last week. “What we’re looking for is good fiscal policy: a clear, stable and competitive fiscal regime,” said David Keane during the launch of the alliance at an event held in Terrace Oct. 7. The provincial government is so far promoting the creation of a new two-tier tax structure over and above any other taxes LNG producers might pay. That’s tied to the B.C. Liberal campaign pledges of the 2013 provincial election in which Premier Christy Clark said LNG producers could provide up to $100 billion leading to a provincial legacy fund which would, among other things, wipe out the provincial debt. But the provincial government has been slow in fully introducing its tax plan and one large energy company, Malaysian-owned Petronas, which has a large stake in a planned LNG plant at Prince Rupert, has warned it might put its project on hold should the tax be introduced. Keane said that while Petronas is a member of the alliance, he could not speak on behalf of the company when it came to specific issues such as taxation. “What I can say is we are waiting to see the [taxation] legislation in detail,” said Ke-

IT WAS a ‘go team’ moment Oct. 7 in Terrace as mayor Dave Pernarowski, left, LNG multinational BG Group president Madeline Whitaker and BC LNG Alliance president David Keane were on hand for the official launch of the alliance, a group made up of companies planning LNG plants in the province. ane. “Having a clear, stable fiscal regime will help make final investment decisions.” If the alliance, made up of companies involved in six planned LNG projects, is concerned about provincial issues such as taxation, it’s also concentrating on exactly who will build the multi-billion dollar projects. Keane, who has been involved on a provincial body examining skills development and training, said the direction is to first train B.C. residents. “Our goal is to hire in B.C. first and Canada second and then outside of Canada if needed,” said Keane. With some projects, if they proceed, requiring as many as 4,000 workers and with some of those needing to have specific skills, the prospect of needing to look outside the country raises the issue of temporary foreign workers. “If we can’t find

those skills, then clearly we’ll have to look outside [the country],” said Keane. Keane said it was important for the alliance to have its first official event in the northwest to show that its members wish longstanding business and other relationships with the region’s residents. Kitimat LNG, which is a partnership between Chevron Canada and Apache Canada; LNG Canada, whose partners are Shell Canada, PetroChina, KOGAS from Korea and Mitsubishi from Japan and who wants to build a
plant at Kitimat; Pacific Northwest LNG, which is Petronas, Japex from Japan, Indian Oil Corporation, Sinopec from China and PetroleumBrunei; and Prince Rupert LNG, which is owned by BG Canada, are the first four projects to join the alliance. Two other projects have joined recently – Woodfibre LNG, which is being proposed near Squamish, and Triton LNG, whose partners are AltaGas from Calgary and Japaneseowned Idemitsu Canada and which is looking at locations in Prince Rupert and Kitimat.

C OMMUNITY Longtime Ksan director retires TERRACE STANDARD
MARGARET SPEIRS
KSAN HOUSE Society’s longtime executive director retired this year due to the realization that life was short and that she didn’t want to have to fight to get things done, which has been the case recently. “The projects I was doing were for Terrace – if the city was the single stumbling block, why was I bothering? The whole life is too short thing, combined with frustration was what did it,” she said about what pushed her to retire in mid-June. And that realization came after two health scares in the last few years and while recuperating, she was continually stopped by obstacles, making the job that much more difficult. “While I was recuperating from the latter, I was working on the 20-unit housing project and getting grief from the city, I realized I had been fighting with the city throughout the renovation of Ksan Place and then with the 20 units,” she said. “I had been with Ksan for about 15 years and partnerships with them (city) in the past had been great but the last couple years were one fight after another. “ During her 15 years with Ksan as executive director, she encountered many changes on the job and a higher demand for services across the board. When, government cutbacks and service cutbacks hit at the same time Terrace was in a tough place economically, she said. Poverty has been rising also. Ksan ran out of room first at the Transition House so that was her first big project and a lot of fundraising and a few proposals did the trick there, she said. “It still is a one-of-a-kind building with all the services under one roof,” said Sabo, adding that puts Ksan in an enviable position, nationwide. Two big things came with the building: for one, it has an address, whereas most transition houses don’t share their addresses with the public, Ksan does. “We’ve had a couple incidents related [to that] but the RCMP have been great at responding,” she said. And the building came with an empty basement so the Donation Room was born, she said. “The community gave us so much support, it was and continues to be amazing,” said Sabo. “I remember once, sitting in my office, trying to figure out how on earth I was going to find funding for a project, almost feeling like I was alone in the world, that nobody cared and a little old lady (I can say that now that I am one!) came in with a bag with one frying

pan in it. “She didn’t need it and she thought someone else might. It was little things like that, that made me realize people do care, they do want to help and it’s all the little things that make the big ones come together.” Shelter numbers started to go sky high just as the Transition House was finished so Sabo kept on going and put together a proposal for BC Housing, she said. The federal government and BC Housing’s priorities at that time were the “hard to house,” so Ksan was fortunate to be able to put some one bedroom apartments and a new emergency shelter in the same building, she added. “We have had a number of other communities come through the building [to see it] - again, because it’s one of those enviable layouts for people in emergency housing,” said Sabo. “People can stay at the shelter, staff can evaluate if they’d be a good fit for the apartments and then, more recently, when we got Mountainview Apartments, they can move on to there when they are ready.” “As good as it feels to have two of the best buildings in the country under my belt, I think my two biggest ‘feathers’ are securing the Children Who Witness Abuse Counsellor program and Ksan Place because those two have the most potential to make change happen. “Kids who see, or who have been a part of, abuse are more apt not to fall into that lifestyle when they are adults if they see a counsellor when they are young – to learn when their minds are still open to change, that violence isn’t necessary in a relationship. “Ksan Place because it’s grassroots programs that make the largest impact in people’s lives. Ksan Place has the potential to work with the people that fall through the cracks in a friendly, community atmosphere.” She added that “community programming” means it doesn’t matter if you make $85,000 a year or $6,000 a year, the programs are for everyone. Sabo said she has the distinction of being Terrace’s first “hippy chick” and she’s always thought the world should be a fair place. “I think that’s what got me started in the non-profit world. If everyone was given the same playbook when they were born and they started on the same level playing field, I’d probably have ended up in an accounting office,” she said. “But, given that’s not the way things happen – it’s what made me who I am – helping someone who

There were a lot of young men and women I spoke for and their stories made me who I am today.” Her biggest regret is not getting
the youth shelter/drop-in opened. “We had the property and commitment for the capital to do some updates to the building and were working with Kermode and a solid plan with some good government support but a member of the youth committee convinced us to involve the wider group,” she said. “That just naturally slows things down and I decided to go ahead with my retirement and let the committee and the new executive director take that to fruition. Sabo’s successor is Amanda Bains, the society’s administrative assistant for a number of years. “She doesn’t have the same
grassroots background as I do but she’s got a quick mind and she knows the society inside and out and I’m looking forward to seeing what she brings to the community,” said Sabo. She said she’ll take some time for herself, might be involved with the Happy Gang Centre and will be a farmer along with her husband and sons in Old Remo. “I always had a lengthy to-do list; I regret not getting to the bottom of that but realized, realistically, that would never happen.” “There is a very capable generation behind me – I look at it as just leaving some things for them to do!” she said.

Many hands make 900 pies
ANNA KILLEN PHOTO
AULDEN BOEHM concentrates on peeling an apple for the Centennial Christian School pie making fundraiser Oct. 4 in the school gym.
IF YOU’RE looking for a quick dessert that will keep in the freezer, Centennial Christian has some apple pies, but you’ll have to hurry. The Hearts and Hands Committee, the school’s booster club, held its annual weekend of baking pies to sell as a fundraiser Oct. 4 and 5. About 900 pies were made and those who pre-ordered – more than 800 were pre-sold – have already received theirs, leaving about 60 in the freezer that are still available. And, as in past years, there’s two types: pastry crust on top or crumble. The money raised is going to technology for classes such as projectors and personal devices to update what’s there and put more in each classroom. A goal amount of money to be raised during the year hasn’t been set but pie day brings in probably about one-quarter of that goal. The total amount raised last year was more than $12,000 and it also went to technology in classrooms. People are still coming in to buy pies and many buy several to freeze for different occasions or as gifts. Those interested can pick up a pie or two during school hours and the cost will be available from school staff. In the past, the school has relied on donated apples from the community but this year ended up buying quite a few and got a good deal from Save on Foods on apples and other ingredients.

Local Special Olympians need volunteers DO YOU need an excuse to get active and contribute to the community? Consider volunteering with the local Special Olympics squad. Their season is about to begin, and they’re on the hunt for new coaches and volunteers. “It is not necessary that volunteers have experience in sports or be a great athlete themselves but the desire to support and have enthusiasm for helping and supporting our athletes with direction from the coach,” said Jo Buck, Local Coordinator, Special Olympics Terrace, Local 7A.
“I believe that volunteers should feel confident and comfortable in what they are doing as well.” The group has a variety of sports a volunteer can choose from: 5-pin bowling, swimming, curling, and basketball during the winter. “We need volunteers the most for bowling and basketball,” she said. Soccer starts the beginning of May and goes to mid-September. Occasionally in the spring, the group also has bocce ball. Practices are held every week from the end of October usually until the
end of March depending on finances, she said. Practices are on set days during the week usually around 3 to 5 p.m., with the exception of swimming, which is in the evening. “It is our hope that volunteers attend their chosen sport(s) as regularly as possible. This is to familiarize themselves with our athletes, other volunteers and coaches and of course to join us again for the next sport season.” For information on how to volunteer, see SportsScope on Page B12.

“I was impressed by our team’s ability to be competitive with our opponents and demonstrate an advantage over many teams,” he said. “Special recognition for last tournament goes to Delaney Kitchen for demonstrating consistent serving, accurate passing and strong hitting,” said Marrelli. He chocks up the team’s ability in part to the fact that many of the Skeena players play Terrace Club Volleyball, coached by Mark Neid and Marrelli for this age group. “Commonly, the girls would require a lot of review of basics, rotations, or responsibilities in September, but because of their involvement of club that ran from January to July, the girls were very prepared for this high school season.” The jr. secondary school teams are usually comprised of Grade 9 and 10 players, meaning “our team has some challenges ahead of them,” he said. “But have proven to be up for the battle. Our strongest competition, so far, is the Grade 10 girls team from Caledonia, which will likely be our main competition all year.” At the end of the month, both teams travel to Prince George for a Jr. Girls Volleyball Tournament which will a good test for both groups and provide good competition, he said. And last weekend, the team held a bottle drive fundraiser – the first of a number of fundraisers over the season – to help pay for upcoming travel and competition costs.

Terrace stands out at playday AN EARLY season playday at Caledonia Secondary School saw Terrace’s junior volleyball teams rise above the rest. Both Caledonia’s Grade 10 team and Skeena Middle School’s Grade 9 team proved to be teams to watch this year, with Cal going undefeated and Skeena losing only one game – to Cal. “The season is early yet but the competition for the Terrace teams may very well be each other!” said Grade 10 coach Adri MacKay. Caledonia defeated Mount Elizabeth Secondary School from Kitimat in two straight games, as well as Ebenezer from Smithers in two straight games. The girls then took Skeena to three games, winning in the third

game before defeating Hazelton in two straight games. “I would say that both Correina McNeice and Ally Moldenhauer were certainly the leaders for Cal’s team on the weekend with excellent play and positive, competitive attitudes,” said MacKay. And the younger squad of Grade 9’s, the only Grade 9 team competing as a Jr. Girls’ volleyball team in the northwest, defeated Centennial Christian School of Terrace, Hazelton, and Coast Tsimshian Academy from Lax Kw’alaams. Skeena coach Frank Marrelli said he’s impressed with how they’re working together.

f you want to compete in the fast-food biz, you must source cheap foods. The problem is cheap food tastes bad. To make it appealing you must then add ingredients that all of us are hard wired to crave, namely, bad fat, high fructose sugar, and industrialized salt. Then you must promote these unhealthy products with aggressive and relentless marketing. If you want your brand to endure, you must target children with such marketing, as the MacDonald’s and Burger King Corporations have done. Tim Hortons took another more inclusive marketing tack. Building on the fact that their eponymous co-founder was one of the best defencemen to put on a Toronto Maple Leaf uniform, and an icon himself, the corporation set out to make their brand an integral part of Canadian culture. The allure of the corporation’s folksy marketing even suckered the some otherwise intelligent, perceptive Canadians. The famous Canadian historian, author, and TV personality, Pierre Berton naively bought into the doughnut corporation’s marketing agenda when he wrote that, “In so many ways the story of Tim Hortons is the essential Canadian story. It is a story of success and tragedy, of big dreams and small towns, of old-fashioned values and tough-fisted business, of hard work and of hockey.” “There’s nothing better than a box of Timbits for the kids in the back of the car,” Toronto philosopher Mark Kingwell wrote. “Nothing better to pick up spirits during a grim winter morning at the office, either.”

ing the biomedical paradigm to create a new market and increase profits happened recently when the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer launched a campaign to address childhood obesity with a chewable form of their billion dollar statin Lipitor. Statins are powerful drugs that mess with liver function so as to damp down the organ’s ability to produce cholesterol. Despite its bad rap, cholesterol is a wonderful substance that every cell in your body needs and is especially important to your brain. Of course, there is a place for pharmaceuticals. They save lives, but in so many instances, the adoption of a healthy diet – and no healthy diet contains fast foods – and exercise has been shown to be much more effective than drugs in preventing and combatting disease of all kinds. There is no profit for fast food giants in exercise and eating well, in fact the promotion of those two healthful habits cuts into their profits. Now, more than ever we have to wean our children off processed foods and get them exercising. Organized sports are good for this but they are not enough. Children need to be outside and exercising whenever daylight is available. Our town is replete with playgrounds, most of which are vacant in the afternoons. Another thing Terrace is blessed with is wilderness. We spent most of our history in the woods. We are hard wired for it. Kids should be encouraged to hike, climb, canoe, camp, fish and hunt, the last two activities containing a big bonus insofar as it provides access to healthful food.

THE RIVER KINGS battle it out Oct. 3 against the Kitimat Ice Demons during their triumphant opening weekend.
Off to the right start THE TERRACE River Kings kicked off the 2014/2015 CIHL season in style, beating both the Kitimat Ice Demons and the returning champions Smithers’ Steelheads over opening weekend. The Kings took over Kitimat’s home opener at the Tamitik arena Oct. 3, winning 5-1. With shots 35 for the Kings and 31 for the Demons, River Kings goalie Patrick Leal made the difference. Terrace’s Tristan Murray opened up scoring at 15:13 in the first, with Kitimat tying it up shortly into the second. But River King William Orrey quickly took back the lead, and
goals by Kings Lee Muir, Chapen Leblond, and assistant captain Josh Murray continued to widen the gap until play was over. Penalty minutes were 15 for the Kings and 26 for Kitimat. Friday night’s game proved to be just a warm up for Saturday’s home opener at the Terrace Sportsplex against the Steelheads that saw Terrace win 9-4 to extend their early season winning streak to two. Terrace Captain Steve Cullis was first on the scoreboard just 44 seconds into the game against a shorthanded Smithers roster – about a dozen guys to the Kings’ full bench.
Ben Reinbolt and Luke Gordon made it 3-0 Kings halfway through the first, with the Steelheads making it 3-1 by the end of the period. Terrace goals by Rajan Sangha, Orrey, and a second by Reinbolt followed in the second, with Corey Dekelber, a second by Orrey, and Derick Jurista clocking in the final three during the third. Shots were dominated by Terrace – 57 to the Steelheads’ 32. And so were penalty minutes – 56 minutes to the Steelheads’ 28, with two of Smithers four goals taking place on the powerplay.
