Gov’t promises overpass aid By JOSH MASSEY A SECOND vehicle overpass connecting the two sections of the city divided by CN tracks is still on Terrace city council’s wish list but it’s now concentrating on more immediate measures to improve the flow over the existing Sande Overpass which has become a bottleneck. Those measures, including a vehicle roundabout and new traffic signals, were discussed by council
members in a meeting last week with provincial transportation minister Todd Stone. “With respect to the Sande Overpass, my understanding is that local staff are working on some options,” said Stone. “We were just talking earlier today about how that could be a roundabout, a new traffic signal ... There is a number of configurations that could potentially work there and you have my commitment that we will bring these options for-
ward.” A vehicle roundabout features vehicles entering from and exiting to road connections via a large circle without the need for stop signs. The city has long lobbied for a second overpass, a situation now considered more important than ever given the increase in vehicle traffic because of existing economic development and the prospect of more people and more traffic should liquefied natural gas plant plans
ever solidify in the region. CN at one time had committed itself to helping with a second overpass, as had the federal government, and the city went so far as to commission a traffic study outlining options, but those plans were shelved. Councillor Lynne Christiansen said a plan for a pedestrian overpass should be included. “As a region, the transportation corridor, the [the Sande Overpass] is the bottleneck before you get to the coast. We have
to do something to separate foot traffic, local vehicles, and truck traffic,” she told Stone. Councillor Bruce Bidgood added afterwards that part of its discussion includes a possible bypass for larger vehicles. “There has been a switch in the conversation,” said Bidgood. “There is talk of improving the current overpass while still working on future plans for a second one.”

Venue change idea fails to go through A REQUEST by a Kitimat-Stikine regional district director to hold its board meeting this Friday in a different location then normal has fallen through. Diana Penner, who represents the rural area north of Terrace and then south to Lakelse Lake and beyond, expects a large number of people to show up to oppose the board’s passing of a bylaw setting up a garbage and recycling pick up program carrying a mandatory annual fee of $200. “If you want to yell about something you’re passionate about, go ahead. It’s supposed to be a free country,” said Penner. The board room at the regional district office on Lazelle Ave. isn’t big enough for a large audience so Penner suggested the move. The same bylaw was to have been voted upon at the board’s September meeting and that prospect drew enough people that an overflow crowd had to gather outside of the regional district’s board room.
But the provincial environment minister had yet to sign off on the bylaw’s provisions, meaning it languished until it was approved, setting the stage for this Friday’s expected passage. Penner based her request for a move on a petition opposing the bylaw which now has more than 700 signatures. “To let the elected regional district board know that we are dissatisfied with their behaviour to the implementation of the bylaw, we all need to attend this meeting,” states a portion of the petition. Late last week, Penner said her attempts at a move, and even for a different day for the by-law vote, were dashed. Some directors said they could not attend on different day, she added. “No, it looks like all will proceed as normal. It has all fallen on the shoulders of the chair, and seems to have stopped there,” Penner said of regional district chair Bruce Bidgood.

MP plugs tanker ban bill By JOSH MASSEY NEW DEMOCRAT MP Nathan Cullen says he has no big objections about oil products being exported from North America with the one exception that nothing should be transported through his Skeena – Bulkley Valley riding. It means that not even a plan to ship refined oil by tanker, which some studies have shown to be less harmful than bitumen crude in the case of a spill, would be permitted from the north coast if a private member’s bill being promoted by Cullen is ever turned into law. Cullen provided a rundown of his “An Act to Defend the Pacific Northwest� bill at a public session held at the Sportsplex Oct. 16. He does not go so far as to include pipelines in his ban bid but his bill does call for the National Energy Board to review such proposals to determine their value-added economic and job-creating potential.

NDP MP Nathan Cullen.
Nor does the proposed ban apply to LNG tankers or any tankers that might be heading north and south up the coast, as the bill is directed at banning tanker traffic bound for ports across the Pacific Ocean in particular. Cullen said his bill would not apply to areas outside the boundaries of his constituency, arguing that other areas have to make their own decisions about oil exports. And against the charge that his bill is a
“not in my back yard� measure, Cullen said there are particular aspects to the coastal environment that make it highly unfavourable for oil export. This was his response to those like Ann Kantakis, who said she is strongly opposed to Northern Gateway, when they asked Cullen how his proposed law would protect the coast from other oil shipping projects, for instance if an alternative line was built to Alaska.
“It depends on what your backyard is,� Cullen said afterwards. “Some places we recognize, as a country, that shouldn’t be threatened. We do it all the time. It isn’t a question of resource development or not, it’s what kind and under what condition.� Cullen started the discussion with a description of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, the blocking of which is the main goal of his legislation. Enbridge is working on fulfilling the 209 conditions imposed on it by the National Energy Board if it wishes the pipeline to be built. Northern Gateway would mean 250 tankers a year coming to and from a Kitimat export terminal carrying diluted bitumen pumped through a 1,177km pipeline from Alberta. Cullen described the Enbridge project as being financially backed by Chinese investment, an arrangement that ultimately serves foreign energy needs more than
Canada’s need for local economies and local autonomy. “It’s a perverse subsidy,� Cullen said of Canadian government subsidies to the oil industry in general. Local resident Davis Lindsay asked what Cullen would do to offset the loss of jobs that banning projects like Northern Gateway would mean. Cullen responded that renewable energy sector jobs could be achieved through redirecting money currently given in subsidies to oil companies. He added that publicly-financed child care programs could boost productivity by freeing up more parents to work. And in replying to a question from Bruce Hill about the chances of his bill ever being passed, Cullen acknowledged it was a long shot. “I want to give my colleagues across the aisle the excuse to do the right thing,� said Cullen. The MP also spoke elsewhere in the area.

Off again and on again election is off for sure BY ANNA KILLEN
FOR A few days it looked like there would be a race for the two Terrace seats on the Coast Mountains School District (CMSD) board. But Oct. 17 Diana Penner withdrew her nomination, meaning incumbent and current board chair Art Erasmus and incumbent Roger Leclerc would be acclaimed as the two Terrace representatives. With Gary Turner returning as the trustee for Thornhill (also by acclamation), Terrace and area faces around the board table will be the same as they have been since the last election in 2011. Both Penner and Leclerc suggested last week that they only decided to run when they saw that no one else had. They filed after the nomination deadline of Oct. 10 was
extended over the Thanksgiving long weekend to Oct. 14 after only one name – that of Erasmus – was put forward by the initial deadline. “I only put my name in after the nomination period was over and trustee Electoral Area 2 was short a candidate,” said Leclerc by email last week of the lack of candidates for the two school board Terrace seats. Leclerc, the current vice-chair, had cited time constraints in his initial decision not to run. Penner withdrew her papers shortly before 4 p.m. Oct. 17, the deadline for taking one’s name off the ballot. “I did just 10 minutes ago after giving it much consideration and prayer,” said Penner late Friday afternoon by email, responding to a query about whether either had withdrawn their names by the filing deadline.
Leclerc now says he will now have to manage his time to fulfill his trustee duties. He thought the lack of candidates for the two Terrace school board seats may have to do with terms now being four years as of this year instead of three years as was the case before. While interest in filling Terrace’s school board seats is evidently weak, that’s not the case at the city – 13 people are vying for the six council seats in Terrace chambers and two people are running for mayor. In Kitimat, three people are vying for two seats on the school board, and in the Hazeltons two people are in the running for that area’s one school board seat. A statement from the ministry of transportation and infrastructure confirmed that highways staff are looking at options for enhancing the Sande Overpass.
From front
Overpass aid promised lighting on local highways. “We want to put more money than we have in the past into secondary highways and side roads,” Stone said. He was in town
promoting – and looking for comment – on the provincial government’s latest efforts at a transportation plan called BC On The Move intended to set out a series of projects over the next 10 years. Todd said
improvements should be announced in the next year and happen within a few years after that.
App aids iPad recovery AN iPad that was stolen Sept. 22 in the Nass Valley was recovered because the Find My IPad App took police straight to the house in which it was located. The owner of the IPad informed the Terrace RCMP that he had used the app Find My IPad and received a GPS beacon that the stolen IPad was at an address in the 3900 block of Hagen St. Police were able to get a search warrant using this information.
The iPad in question was located and seized inside of the residence indicated by the app. Charges of possession of stolen property are being forwarded to Crown Counsel on a 21 year-old man. In an unrelated separate incident two weekends ago involving another electronic device, police report a Curtis GPS unit and medication were stolen from an unlocked vehicle on Merkley Road.

ith housing prices soaring and affordable rental units still in scarce supply, the city’s housing strategy promises to be a major focus in the municipal elections. Over the past years the city has put in place a number of policies designed to promote housing development and the city is starting to see the results of those policies. But some decisions related to increasing housing for lower or middle income earners have yet to bear fruit and are works in progress that will have to be tackled by the newly elected council. One issue facing the new council is deciding how to spend $951,000 that was gained from the sale of land at the corner of Kenney and Park to Calgary-based Coast to Coast. The current council decided that some of the money generated from that sale would be placed in a new affordable housing fund account created this year for housing-related initiatives. But it will be up to the next council to decide how much of the nearly $1 million will be placed in the account and how it will be spent. A group that has a hous-

ing project in mind can apply to the city for assistance if it meets a variety of criteria, including that their project mission meets the needs of a specific demographic. A city policy setting out its objectives states projects should “supply affordable housing for low and moderate income family and single person households.” The city also expects to bolster its affordable housing efforts by charging $500 a bed for a work camp being planned at its industrial park. One tangible effort to provide affordable housing has yet to take hold and that’s contained in the sales agreement between Coast to Coast and the city for the above-mentioned Kenney and Park corner lot. Coast to Coast has agreed to set aside 20 per cent of its planned 105 housing units there at a rate 20 per cent below market value for residents of moderate income. Construction of those units has yet to start. One area in which the city has been very active is in granting rezoning applications to property owners who wish to build housing and secondary suites or to subdivide lots. A bylaw created just two years ago to allow for detached secondary suites in

HOUSING DEVELOPMENT on the corner of Kenney and Park. The developer has started off a multi-phase project by building a six-unit townhouse complex the R1 zone has led to the construction of six secondary suites this summer. The last available city building report shows there was an increase in housing permits with a value totalling $19 million. In August alone there were five new building permits for single family homes applied for by the city, bringing the year-to-date
total to 28 and carrying an accumulated value of more than $6 million. Eight new mobile home permits were also taken out and nine residential additions competed that month. The total also includes five new multi-family residential development permits valued at $3,293,500. Council decisions related to rezoning could pave the
way for future multi-family housing. A large parcel on the corner of Twedle and Thomas on the bench, just south of Uplands Elementary, might have in earlier years been set aside for single family homes. But the city has now encouraged owner Colleen Froese to rezone the whole lot from R1 to R3 which will
allow for townhouses or duplexes. As for single family homes, there’s been a lot of construction activity on lots on existing subdivisions just east of Ecole Mountainview on the bench. And two other subdivisions, also on the bench, are nearing registration status, says city development services director David Block.
Concerted effort required for units By ANNA KILLEN LENA PENNER and her husband are just two of the seniors ready to move into the just-completed addition to the Terrace Senior Citizens Residence on Tuck Ave. in the horseshoe. “This’ll be my husband and I,” said Penner gesturing to one of the five new units which will be their home. She’s looking forward to getting the “drapes in, pictures on the wall,” when they move, relocating from a Thornhill mobile home in part because of health reasons. Penner’s also looking forward to being neighbours with two friends, C Hayward and Fran Ruchofzke, who have lived in the complex for years and who enjoy the quiet dead end street and gardening plots. The five new one-bedroom units bring the complex’s total to 23, and the
new addition is being touted as an example of what can happen when a community gathers to help those less fortunate. The project was “out of our reach until the community rallied around and came together,” said Terrace & District Christian Council for Social Resources secretary treasurer Lowell Holmquist at the building’s official opening Oct. 15. Coming in under budget and ahead of schedule (at $300,000, “lower than our lowest estimate”), the project owes much of its success to contractor John Van De Velde, he said. “If it wasn’t for John’s push this wouldn’t have happened,” said Holmquist. The addition was first proposed several years ago and received a planning boost through David Block, the city’s development services director, who was able to secure some money from
ANNA KILLEN PHOTO
C HAYWARD, Lena Penner, and Fran Ruchofzke in Penner’s new apartment Oct. 15. the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. But when a bid to secure construction money from BC Housing, the province’s housing agency, fell through, Holmquist credited
Van De Velde with lining up donations of reduced cost services. Ground broke on the project in April, 2013, even though money to pay for the project was uncertain until
just a month before that, he said. Holmquist thanked “the graciousness of the trades not getting paid at the exact time the cheques were written.”
The project also received a $60,000 injection after the Terrace Christ Lutheran church after the congregation sold its building. Even a tour of the construction site by youngsters from the Terrace Christian Reformed Church resulted in a donation – $360, enough to buy the nails that went into the project. Holmquist added the project works with the city’s goal of encouraging more affordable housing units, stating that “the mandate and desire of the city meshed together very well” with the project. With the additional construction, the senior’s complex now contains 23 units over six buildings – 14 bachelor and nine one-bedroom places. The bachelor units are approximately 340 square feet, and the one bedroom units are approximately 520 square feet.

What if ... THE Klabona Keepers, the group of Tahltan joined with others in mounting two recent blockades of the road into the Red Chris mine, often cites a 1910 declaration by their predecessors when it comes to ownership and control of their territory. “We claim the sovereign right to all the country of our tribe – this country of ours which we have held intact from the encroachments of other tribes, from time immemorial, at the cost of our own blood,” reads one portion of that Oct. 18, 1910 declaration. As emphatic as that is, the Tahltan leaders of that day also sketched out a pathway toward the future. In return for one or more large portions of land to be regarded as absolute Tahltan territory, the leaders were willing to relinquish the rest to the B.C. government for “adequate compensation” in the call for a treaty. “.... [I]t will be better for ourselves,, also better for the governments and all concerned, if these treaties are made with us at a very early date, so all friction and misunderstanding between us and the whites may be avoided ....” the declaration continues. The history of interaction between peoples is populated by errors, stubbornness and downright ignorance.

Politeness goes a long way
oung kids may be watching for a sleigh drawn by eight tiny reindeer. I’m on the lookout for a square-wheeled Red River cart drawn by a wheezing three legged ox. What other mode of transportation could take more than three weeks to deliver from Calgary a replacement part no bigger than a cell phone for my treadmill? A dog team of starving Chihuahuas? I placed the order August 18 after a repairman serviced my machine, ending its groaning. Facing another winter when poor walking conditions might curtail my outdoor exercise, I invested in this replacement thinking if I could clock my steps and mileage, I might make better use of the equipment. The console left Sears’ Calgary parts warehouse the third week of September. But as of October 13, it has not yet arrived, though at the time of ordering the supplier assured me it would be “delivered to my mailbox September 3.” Even then I figured a delivery date of September 3 was pie in the sky. I wasn’t green enough to expect Sears

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI stocked their warehouse with consoles for every model treadmill they sold in 1996. Who knows from where Sears itself might have to order the part I needed. Ontario? That’s the address on the warranty, though it was printed in the U.S. I waited patiently for the day my six-ounce repair would drop into my mailbox. My patience ran out when I received instead a lengthy statement covered with fine print ending with “New balance $144.90, minimum payment $20 due October 23.” Interest at the rate of 29.9 percent has been charged since September 28 ... for
a product I haven’t yet received. Included in what Sears claim I owe is $32.42 for bedroom slippers I picked up and fully paid for with cash August 7, 2014. As never fails to happen, though my files cover many years, the one receipt I needed (but had tossed) was the one from August 7. After spending the better part of a fruitless Thursday afternoon on the phone with various Sears departments about this foul-up, I visited Sears’ local office October 10 where it was pointed out to me customers are under video surveillance, which would reveal if I had indeed made the August 7 payment. Except the video erases after 30 days. Likewise for their computer records; my payment would be long lost in the company’s computer files. No matter how busy the Terrace outlet may be on weekends, I was in no mood to be put off by their offer to photocopy my statement and check back with me Monday or Tuesday. (While I held a lengthy exchange on the outlet’s phone with a Sears office, twice borrowing the manager’s ballpoint to jot

down details including a phone number, only one customer walked in.) I could have slunk out without a satisfactory conclusion to my visit. But I’ve dealt with too many similar situations, and read many advice columns on how to seek a remedy for less than satisfactory service. Advice always boils down to several commonsense rules: File your complaint sooner rather than later. Do your homework. Take along receipts and other documents. (Never toss paid bills as I did. Gather them in a shoebox; they become critical.) Note the names of whoever you speak with, any phone numbers used to reach them and a brief summary of your conversation with each. If the first person you speak with is no help, go higher. Speak to a supervisor. Persevere. Never use offensive or abusive language. A polite, firm and never-say-die attitude usually will get you through an obstructive customer-service department. I’m still waiting for delivery. Maybe to lower feed costs, the ox pastures as he travels.

The Mail Bag Proud of teachers Dear Sir: Recently, the Conference Board of Canada announced that the education system in British Columbia was the best in Canada and the third best in the world, after Finland and Japan. So, how is it possible that teachers in this province have achieved this remarkable reputation? Our per-student grant in British Columbia is $1,000 below the national average, indeed 10th out of 10. Our student-educator ratio is the worst in Canada. Before the settlement, our teachers are now the lowest paid in Canada after little PEI. A quick check of my old school district, Ottawa/Carleton, for example, indicates that I, as a teacher at maximum with a master’s degree, would be paid over $100,000, compared to my $81,500 salary here. What has been the impact on our schools of the budget shortfalls? Remember the abor-
I
tive attempts to save money with the fourday week? While the provincial government likes to point out that student enrolment has dropped and funding has increased, it is easy to show that compared to other provinces, BC’s funding increases have not kept up with those of other provinces. My department had an annual operating budget of $1,500, enough for a couple of class sets of books. Like most teachers, I spent hundreds of dollars of my own money buying resources. When Christy Clark tore up the teachers’ contract in 2002, the limits on overall numbers and the numbers of special needs students in each class were removed. These students with Individual Education Plans (IEPs) require extra assistance or modification of their instruction, and whereas before the limit might have been two or three

STRIKING TERRACE teachers took their cause to the Sande Overpass in August. in a class, it became common to have as many as eight IEP students in one class, as I had. The vast majority of teachers are proud, caring, dedicated professionals. The strike was not about wages and benefits. We will still be at the bottom of the salary range at the end of the contract’s six years. I am appalled by
the silence of our local school trustees and administrators over the years as we have all struggled to keep this system afloat, and by the parents who, rather than acknowledging the successes of teachers under these difficult circumstances, choose to blame them for the shortfalls that have resulted from underfunding.
I retired this year and am leaving to go back East, but it breaks my heart that my students had to be out of school when they are anxious to do well in Grade 12, and my fellow teachers were on the picket lines for months, enduring significant financial hardships. This is a completely intolerable situation, and would never have happened
if the government had lived up to its responsibilities. I am proud of my fellow teachers for standing up to the bullying government and for making huge personal sacrifices to protect their rights and public education. I fear, however, that the situation will be repeated in the future and that the atmosphere will remain
toxic for years to come, unless parents wake up and acknowledge that B.C. is fortunate in having one of the best educational systems in the world thanks to its hard-working teachers. Respect education; demand a fully-funded public education system in this province. Andrew Williams, Terrace, B.C.
Memories of long ago friend rekindled
f I had to use one word to describe my friend, Gordie Bible, it would be “laughing” or “joyous” – something which would capture the essence of his absolute zest for life. He laughed a lot, and he sang, too – the fast, catchy lyrics and melodies of Jimmie Rodgers – Honeycomb. Tucumcari. Woman from Liberia. The laughter and song seemed to well up in him like water from a spring. It watered everyone around him. He and I were born and raised in Castor, in the Battle River country of east central Alberta. Except for those times when we had to be inside, such as in school or at home for meals and sleep, we lived outdoors all seasons of the year. We entertained ourselves. We lived great adventures. Like the time we explored the Lynx Caves. In earlier years an old musket – perhaps from the fur trading days – had been found near the mouth of those caves.
The caves held a mystery to us on their own; the legend of the musket only fired our imaginations more. We hiked the four or five miles to Hatherly Valley and worked our way through its dense spruce stands, along its winding creek, sandstone cliffs towering above us. At the mouth of the cave, a cold breeze blew in our faces from the cave interior as we knelt down and pulled ourselves under a huge sandstone boulder. We worked our way as far back as we could, the cave floor layered in porcupine quills. When we could go no further, we scrawled our names on a piece of paper and left it on a ledge, with the date we had swallowed our fear and crawled into the blackness. Another time, while we were rafting on the creek near the old railroad trestle, we heard a freight train approaching from the direction of Coronation. We paddled frantically for
GUEST COMMENT
KEN ANDERSON shore. Beaching the raft, we scrambled up the cliff and jammed ourselves under the trestle timbers and railroad ties, our heads inches below the rails. We waited, our adrenaline and breath pumping. We didn’t have long to wait. That huge locomotive and string of boxcars thundered over our heads, their steel wheels
squealing and pounding in a long, loud cacophony. We didn’t move until the caboose finally cleared the trestle and the train moved on towards town. The train crew suspected nothing. Gordie and I walked on home, the darkness gathering around us. We sometimes rode horses together, and could he ride. Like the wind. Like the Blackfoot warriors who roamed those plains in the 1800s. Bareback, leaning low over his horse’s neck – his white horse, Ghost, in a flat out run, mane and tail streaming in the wind, clouds of snow flying – they went by me and my mount like we were standing still. I can see them still and hear the cadence of the hoof beats and Gordie’s wild yells and irrepressible laughter washing back over me. Washing over me, over the years since I last saw and heard him. Our family moved to a town in southern Alberta when I was 14,
and I lost track of him. I thought of him over the years and often wondered what had happened to him. At another’s suggestion a few days ago, I did an internet search for him. The initial search results raised my hopes but as I read on, the truth came home. Gordie died 10 years ago. But I found his mother’s phone number and gave her a call. We talked about Gordie. We talked about her family and mine. We talked about old times, and as we talked, memories rekindled. I told her I was going to write a story about her son and send her a copy. I’m thankful and privileged to have known Gordie and of having had the pleasure of his company, if only for a few years. I’m enriched because of the experience. And perhaps you, in my telling, have also been touched by his spirit, his irrepressible spirit. Ken Anderson is a lawyer living in Terrace, B.C.

No democracy here in regional district Dear Sir: Democracy is an interesting concept especially when you consider the different ways governing bodies come into being. Municipal elections, in my opinion, conform to what we generally think of as democratic. But, again in my opinion, regional district boards, do not. I am referring, specifically, to the Kitimat- Stikine regional district. On this particular board, most of the board members
are appointed by city councils from communities within the district. As property owners in the regional district, we do not get to elect the majority of the board as is the case with municipal elections. Of further concern is the unaccountability of the board and staff to the public. With the recent and past record of this particular regional district, it is incumbent upon all voters in the municipalities that are
encompassed by the regional district to take a good look at who they are voting for and what their track record has been on the regional district board. It would appear from my experience over a number of years in dealing with this particular regional district that once the election is over, the democratic process of input from the people is thrown out the window. Case in point: the recent debacle over
garbage pickup in the greater Terrace area (i.e. Lakelse Lake, Remo, etc.). The concerns raised by affected residents seem, for the most part, to be totally ignored. So, on October 24, 2014, I would encourage everyone affected by this proposed bylaw to show up at the regional district meeting. Place of meeting to be determined. Howard Gray, Prince Rupert, B.C.
Garbage plan won’t work Dear Sir: Webster’s dictionary states the definition of consult as: to talk things over, confer to seek information or instruction from to consider; have regard for. At the most recent public consultation in regard to garbage disposal, the first statement I heard from a regional district employee was “the decision has already been made to proceed with curbside collection – but your opinions would be wel-
come.” Possibly I was expecting too much. I had truly hoped that public opinion would have been taken into consideration. As a summer resident of Lakelse Lake, I would not be around at the appropriate times to utilize this service. Not to mention the fact that 1st Avenue is 200 metres from our residence and it would be difficult in the best of conditions to drag an appropriate garbage receptacle up a rough
gravel drive. In the winter, there is nowhere one could leave garbage and hope it would still be there for collection/let alone hope to find your container at the end of the day. the road is ditched and fairly deep on both sides. The conservation officer that spoke at the last regional district meeting is more than aware of the difficulties involved. He was not in favour. No mention was made about the fact school
aged children walk this road to catch a bus early in the morning and adults walk this area on a regular basis. This does not make for a safe situation. Numerous land owners had difficulties with the bylaws that were presented prior to the regional district meeting. Unfortunately there were more questions than answers at the Sept. 13 regional district meeting. Sandra Kirby, Terrace, B.C.

Head shave ‘empowers’ Legion poster contest WITH A smile on her face, Sandy Pringle, a front counter staff member at the Terrace RCMP detachment, sat down to have her head shaved as promised after the police officers managed to raise $10,000 for Cops for Cancer Tour de North. She happily donated her shorn locks to go to be used to help make wigs for kids with cancer. Pringle said her incentive to help out came from her mom passing away from cancer when she was quite young and who had lost her hair. Having all your hair fall out takes away your identity and the way you look at yourself, she said. Getting her head shaved helps those who are struggling with cancer and that’s empowering, she added. Reva Jurgeleit of Grand Ole Barber Shop did the honours, saying she’s shaved about 50 to 60 people’s heads in the past five or six years. Afterward, Pringle said her newly bald head felt “good and chilly.” Several RCMP officers were in attendance

I AM afraid our president’s eloquent plea for volunteers to help with Legion activities has not resulted in as rapid a response from our members as we could have wished. The turnout for last Tuesdays meeting just made the required quorum and neither Steak Night or the Saturday Meat Draw have heard from any new volunteers. If there is not more interest displayed, these are popular activities that may fall by the wayside. On a more positive note the Poppy, Poster, Essay and Video contest is underway again. Packages explaining the program have been sent to all schools in the area and students are encouraged to inquire about them at their schools, at the Legion or by calling Comrade Peter Crompton at 250-638-8627. This is something that can be done as a school project or an individual one. The First Annual Buster Patterson Memorial 8-Ball Tournament held recently in the Legion was very successful. First Place went to Paul Carr and second place to Ray Forget. Kim Patten was third place and Ric Bennet took fourth. More importantly, every one enjoyed the event and many memories were shared of a good comrade and a fine man. Preparations are underway for the 60th Annual Curling Bonspiel which will take place January 30 and 31 and February 1, 2015. Set those days aside curlers, it should be a grand event. Because November 11th falls on a Tuesday this year, which is the usual
date for the monthly meeting, that meeting will be held in the Branch on Nov. 12 commencing at 7 p.m. Members to attend and volunteers are urgently needed. Needed also are volunteers to man poppy trays in Terrace Friday night, Nov. 7 and all day Saturday, Nov. 8. There are signup sheets in the Branch. Please Comrades – this is the time of year we can show our appreciation for those who died for us or still suffer the aftermath of their honourable wounds. Let’s see some names on those lists – it is only an hour or two of your time. Don’t forget about our regular Meat Draws on Saturday afternoons from 4 to 6 and Steak Night on the first Friday of the month. Events in the planning are a garage sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 25. Any donations are welcome and if assistance is needed, you can leave word at the Legion or call Mary Ann/ Doug at 250-638-1827; a Halloween Dance on October 31; Remembrance Day Parade and Ceremonies on Nov.11 with parade lineup in the Safeway parking lot at 10:15 a.m. Looking farther down the road, Choir Night is scheduled for December 15. As the Legion is a private club, all activities within the building are deemed by law to be restricted to members and bona fide guests. The garage sale is an exception to this as are other functions which are held when the bar is not open. If you are not a member, keep in mind that you do not have to have military affiliations to join. Applications are available at the Legion. We Will Remember Them

TEST YOUR brain against your friends at the Friends of the Library’s quiz night. It’s also a fundraiser and there’s prizes for each round and the top three winning teams. Friends of the Library is a volunteer group, formed in the fall of 2012, that supports, promotes, and fundraises for the Terrace Public Library, said member Sarah Artis. “We are not fundraising for anything specific,” she said. “Friends decides how to spend the money we raise, though we get direction from the library on what they need. For example, this year, we helped purchase furniture for the new Ed Curell reading lounge.” Until now, Friends of the Library’s main activity has been selling used books – mainly at the farmers market in the summer. “We wanted to host a quiz night – first of all, because quiz
nights in Terrace have always been really fun. And second, it can raise some money for the library,” said Artis. “There’s going to be tons of prizes - big and small. “There will be prizes for each round of questions as well as for the first, second and third place teams.” Friends believes the library is one of our town’s most precious resources and they want to do anything they can to help keep it thriving, and let others appreciate the value it brings to Terrace, she said. Friends of the Library is really excited about hosting its first ever quiz night. The questions are all prepared and we can’t wait to challenge our participants. Get your game on, this Friday, Oct. 24, 7 p.m. at the art gallery! For more details, including cost and team size, see Fundraiser in City Scene below.

Social issues the key SIGN UP NOW! for first time candidate BORN IN Pouce Coupe in northeastern B.C. Noelle Bulleid moved with her family to Prince Rupert when she was young. “My mother is from Port Simpson and my father is English,” says Bulleid, 53, who is making her first run at elected office by seeking one of the six Terrace council seats. The family originally moved to the northwest so her father could take up a longshoring job in Prince Rupert but the family has called Terrace home since 1978. Bulleid has a social services worker certificate from Northwest Community College and is continuing her education as a part time student at the college with a goal of obtaining a diploma in the same field.
Noelle Bulleid “Eventually I wish to get my bachelor’s in social services,” adds Bulleid. Bulleid has an added connection to the college – following receiving her social services worker certificate in 2008 she was hired by the college to be its residents’ life facilitator, a job that involved being
a virtual den mother at its 84-student capacity dorm accommodations. She now has a term position at the college in assisting First Nations students to navigate through its courses and programs. It’s that kind of connection to people which is giving Bulleid the motivation to run for office. “I like to speak up for people and I spend a lot of time volunteering,” says Bulleid in citing her involvement with a newly-formed society to promote literacy and time spent at the local community garden. “What I want to do is speak for those people who maybe need a voice so that they have someplace to turn to ... It’s important that everybody is listened to and advocated for.”
Bulleid lists homelessness, lack of housing and literacy as key issues. “We don’t know who they area but we do know there are families affected,” says Bulleid of the lack of housing for lower income earners. “What’s happening to those families – that’s my concern. They need to know they can reach out to someone somewhere.” She’s particularly aware of housing through her work at the college. “Students can’t come here for training because they can’t find a place to live. That really doesn’t balance out,” says Bulleid. And if housing for students is a problem, Bulleid says it’s much the same for seniors on limited incomes. Bulleid was nominated by Charles Bulleid and Kerry Clarke.
changes I would like to see, such as to infrastructure,” said Bujtas. “I support economic growth in the community but being cognizant of our environment at the same time and making sure we are going in the right direction. “Changing the overpass isn’t enough, we need to make sure we have the land available for the second overpass in preparation for when we build it,” said Bujtas of dealing with the traffic volume using the Sande Overpass. He said densification is good, but green space is important. “It seems everything is being gobbled up for development but if you don’t have green space here and there it’s not inviting, you just be-
come this giant bedroom community.” And Bujtas said it’s important young people have an adequate number of activities and places to go. “I go into that Skeena [Middle] School now and I go wow, we need more stuff that is new [like the school],” he said. His wish list would include a new swimming pool and work to address the lack of a community centre. Bujtas also advocates drawing up civic project plans ahead of time so that as infrastructure and other grants from senior governments come up, applying for them is quicker and more efficient. He was nominated by Christopher Gair and Troy Hansen.

Flu season stops here.
Council hopeful seeks balanced development SEAN BUJTAS decided to wade into municipal politics after the 2011 local government elections, inspired by his desire to improve the city in which he was born and raised. Bujtas, who turns 39 this December, is currently general manager of Chances Terrace, formerly a bingo hall and now a casino regulated through the BC Lottery Corporation, where he has worked since 1997. Coming from a soccer-loving family, his parents, George and Bev Bujtas, were awarded the Order of Terrace in 2006 for their work in youth soccer, a legacy which Bujtas says he is continuing. “I recently joined the competitions committee for BC Youth Soccer
Sean Bujtas so the north would have a voice. I am on their competitions committee,” he said. Bujtas says some of his priorities will include infrastructure (both functional and recreational), housing and youth recreational spaces. “There are some

Council candidate seeks a sixth term at city hall LYNNE CHRISTIANSEN is running for a sixth consecutive seat on city council. First elected in 1999, she is the longest serving person on the current council. “The year I came on council was the year the mill went down and we were struggling to figure out how we were going to get a town to work on next to nothing,” said Christiansen of her first term on council when the city’s then major employer, Skeena Cellulose, fell into receivership and eventual bankruptcy. “You need continuity and someone who has a feel for the history of the community,” she continued, saying that being born and raised in Terrace gives her “a feel for the history of the community.”
Lynne Christiansen Over her past term Christiansen, 58, served as city representative on the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine and the North Central Government Association. Currently she sits on the city’s housing committee, Terrace Public Library committee and the healthy communities committee. A crafter, Christian-

sen was also president for the Skeena Valley Farmers Market for many years and is currently vice president. Her professional career, which was put on hold while she overcame a serious illness two years ago, has involved work at drug and alcohol treatment centre and working with people with disabilities through the Northern Health Authority. She said the biggest breakthrough by the council now ending its three-year term was the progress made in securing, developing and now selling portions of the city’s Skeena Industrial Development Park. “I think our biggest accomplishment and our biggest drive is the airport lands and striving for that industrial base,”she said.
www.terracestandard.com A15
She cites the inability of council to make inroads with major transportation upgrades or to convince the provincial government to help out with affordable housing as areas where the current council fell short of its aspirations. “Our biggest frustration is to try to get some support from the provincial government for housing,” Christiansen said. In her opinion cracking that nut will involve continuing to promote regional interests through a proposed and promoted revenue sharing agreement with the provincial government based on potential tax revenues large industrial projects. Christiansen was nominated by Colleen Davis and Elizabeth Williams.

ELECTION 2014
Candidate sets sights on a stable economy JAMES CORDEIRO, who is running for a second term on Terrace city council following his first election in 2011, is just like a lot of local residents. “We came north in 2004 – for two years,” he says of the move here from the Lower Mainland prompted because his wife had just completed her pharmacy training and accepted a job in Terrace. And now, fully settled in the community, wife Kirsten continues her pharmacy career while Cordeiro, 39, is involved in several local businesses. He describes himself as an entrepreneur thanks to his ownership of Blackstone’s Restaurant, managing the The Lodge at Skeena Landing accommodations in the same complex and of his mentorship role at Xanders coffee shop downtown. Cordeiro says his motivation lies in the need for the city to think out of the box. He advocates trying different things to establish a steady economy as opposed to what had been the traditional forest industry-based boom and bust model. “For that I would be concentrating on small busi-
James Cordeiro ness,” said Cordeiro. “I’ve said it might be better to have 10 businesses who hire 10 people each rather than one business hiring 100 people. If one of those 10 goes down, you lose 10 jobs. But if that one big business goes down, you lose all 100 jobs.” Cordeiro, one of the councillors who voted to oppose Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline plan shortly after the 2011 municipal election, remains opposed, saying that while he wants economic activity, it shouldn’t come at the risk of “selling the things that make Terrace and this region unique.” Still, Cordeiro is a solid
supporter of the city’s sale of approximately half of its Skeena Industrial Development Park’s 2,000 acre inventory to Chinese business interests. “When I spoke about those 10 businesses, that’s the kind of activity envisioned there, a variety of businesses,” he said. “What I’d like is to get to a point where my son doesn’t have to move out to find a job,” he said of his eight-year-old. “We need something so our young don’t have to leave or to have something to come back to.” Cordeiro acknowledged that the pace of subdivision development involving clearing of forested land may make local residents uncomfortable. “But if people want opportunities to stay, then there need to be places to live,” he said. His most frustrating time on council has been dealing with the issue of providing housing for all income levels. “The city does have limitations of what it can accomplish,” said Cordeiro. Cordeiro was nominated by Bruno Belanger and Alex Vogel.

RCMP issue personal safety alert AN INCIDENT has prompted the Terrace RCMP to remind the public, specifically female pedestrians, to be mindful of possible threats to safety. Shortly before 9 p.m. Oct. 9 a woman was walking home with groceries when she was approached by two men in a brown van on the Sande Overpass, indicated information provided to the police. The two men in the minivan pulled up beside the woman, made a comment to her, and then asked if she wanted a ride. The woman refused to go anywhere with the men and they left toward Kenney St. The driver was described as a Caucasian man in his 50s, wearing glasses, bald, and had a raspy voice. The passenger is described as a man in his 50s with dirty blond hair. The van was a sandy brown, possibly a Caravan, with tinted windows and no back seats. The smell of body odor was emitting from the van. RCMP have issued the following information about personal safety. Awareness: The first, and probably most important, component in self-defense is awareness of yourself, your surroundings, and a potential attacker’s likely strategies. Often, a criminal’s strategy is to use the advantage of surprise. Studies have shown that criminals are adept at choosing targets that appear to be unaware of what is going on around them. By being aware of your surroundings and by projecting a force presence, many altercations which are commonplace on the street can be avoided. Use your sixth sense: Gut instinct. Your intuition is a powerful subconscious insight into situations and people. Everyone, especially women, have this gift, but very few pay attention to it. Avoid a person or a situation which does not feel safe – you’re probably right. Self-defence training: It is important to evaluate the goals and practical usefulness of a self-defence program before signing up. It should include simulated assaults, with
a fully padded instructor in realistic scenarios, to allow you to practise what you’ve learned. Escape: What if you are suddenly confronted by a predator who demands that you go with him – be it in a car, or
into an alley, or a building. It would seem prudent to obey, but you must never leave the primary crime scene. You are far more likely to be killed or seriously injured if you go with the attacker than if you
run away (even if he promises not to hurt you). Run away, yell for help, throw a rock through a store or car window – do whatever you can to attract attention. And if the crimi-
nal is after your purse or other material items, throw them one way while you run the other. No matter what your age or physical condition, you can and should defend yourself physically. You have both the
moral and legal right to do so. Many people worry that they will anger the attacker and get hurt worse if they defend themselves, but statistics clearly show that your odds of survival are far greater if
you do fight back. Aim for the eyes first and the groin second. Use the element of surprise to your advantage–strike quickly, and mean business. You may only get one chance.

Community involvement highlight for candidate FIRST ELECTED to Terrace city council in 2005, then re-elected in 2008 and in 2011, Brian Downie brings a strong sense of volunteerism to the affairs of the city in his bid for a fourth term. “I was involved in various community projects and back then it was the Sportsplex,” says Downie of his original motivation to run in 2005. That community effort eventually resulted in the addition of the second sheet of ice and other renovations at the arena. “A friend of mine then convinced me to run [in 2005] and actually she’s running right now,” adds Downie of Carol Leclerc who is one of two candidates for mayor. “There are a lot of good things WARM happening right now and it’s important we continue to make them better,” Downie continues of his motivation this time around.

traffic more efficiently through the city, said Downie. And if there was a frustrating issue, it’s the provision of housing, especially for lower income earners. Downie notes that while the city can encourage development through zoning and other methods, the city has no direct role in actually building housing. “I think we can all see the problem, but it’s hard to get to a solution,” he said. Downie, 67, now runs a small guided tour company. He was nominated by Bill McRae and Art Erasmus.

MEMBERS OF the provincial legislature learned of several difficulties facing northwestern residents when they held a session here recently. The 11 Members of the Legislative Assembly make up the legislature’s Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services and their stop here was part of a provincial tour gathering ideas of how the province can best spend taxpayers’ money in the next budget year. Northern Brain Injury Association director Cynthia Hyslop told the committee there is a lack of services for brain-injured people in the north and there are weather and geography present difficulties in getting around. Often money comes in the form of small grants which is gratefully appreciated, but it’s often too little to make long-term plans and groups often have to re-apply for grants every six months or so, she said. The association is
asking the government to provide enough money so the association can disperse it to the groups involved so they can plan for the longterm. Hyslop said in the province every year, there are 22,000 new cases of brain injury and that the current population of brain-injured people is 180,000. The highest injury risk is for males age 16 to 24, seniors have the second highest risk and brain injuries account for the highest fatality rate of people age 45 and under, she said. A brain injury can be costly as it can lead to health and social issues. For example, 53 per cent of homeless people are brain injured and 77 per cent of those were injured prior to becoming homeless, Hyslop added. In addition, people are 77 per cent more likely to develop mental illness after a brain injury, she said. “Statistics will show brain injury is a much larger issue than first thought,” said Hyslop.
Brain injuries occur at a rate 100 times that of spinal cord injuries, 30 times more often than breast cancer and 400 times more often than HIV/AIDS, and more people suffer brain injuries than multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, HIV/AIDS and breast cancer combined, she added. The provincial government beginning in 1998 cut the amount of money going to help with brain injuries, Hyslop said. “The lack of money only served to increase government costs,” said Hyslop. When asked, Hyslop said that the travel challenges here are enormous with the roads not being driveable for all 12 months of the year due to weather. Another challenge are the lack of specialists in the north. If a person can make it to a larger centre to see a specialist, which few can afford, often that person is alone or has minimal family nearby and often has to find his or her own way
back home, said Hyslop. Northwest Community College senior officials Denis Caron and Cathay Sousa told the committee of roadblocks facing students wanting a higher education and skills training. Although the college has received government and corporate grants to modernize its industrial training equipment, students have difficulties in coming to Terrace. Issues include students needing driver’s licences, having difficulty finding housing and tuition costs. “Our dorm or student housing is at capacity,” said Caron. “We had to cancel the heavy equipment program as students had nowhere to stay.” The delay in training also delays industry from getting the people they need, he added. The college has made moves to compensate by holding training sessions in smaller communities. Student union organizer Mikael Jensen

Northwest B.C. mine blockade ends for now
A GROUP of Tahltan and others who had been blocking access to the nearly-completed Red Chris copper mine owned by Imperial Metals have, for now, stopped their action. The decision earlier this week followed the granting to Imperial Metals of an interim junction to stop the blockade and, as of Oct. 14, an enforcement order which could have resulted in the arrest of people at the blockade. “When 15 of our elders were arrested in 2005 to protect the Tl’abane [Klappan area] it had huge impacts on our community. Although we were willing to make this sacrifice again, to protect our elders and children from this trauma, we’ve decided to not be arrested,” the Tahltan group known as the Klabona Keepers said in an Oct. 14 statement. “Instead, we will fight the injunction in court and are calling on Imperial Metals and government to come meet with us to discuss the matter under our own jurisdiction.” The statement was accompanied by a letter sent to a group of provincial politicians, including Premier Christy

PROTESTORS AT site of blockade to Red Chris copper mine in northwestern B.C. Clark, and Imperial officials, including president Pierre Lebel, for a meeting last week. “This action does not affirm that industry can continue to use injunctions as a tool to marginalize the significance of their rights and title. This action is being taken to protect the elders, grandmothers, women and youth from RCMP action ordered by the provincial and federal system of government. The Tl’abanot’in [Klabona Keepers] have already been arrested as they stood on their land to protect it, but not today,” the Oct. 14 statement continued.
The blockade by the Klabona Keepers went up Sept. 29 and is assisted by environmental activists and by the Secwepemc First Nation whose traditional territory takes in the Mount Polley copper mine in the Cariboo. That mine is also owned by Imperial Metals and when its tailings pond burst in August, the Red Chris tailings pond design then became a focal point for opposition to mining. The Klabona Keepers set up a first blockade in August after the Mount Polley spill but it was taken down after the Tahltan Central Council
and Imperial Metals reached an agreement for Imperial to pay for an independent review of the tailings pond by a company chosen by the central council, something which the Klabona Keepers first agreed to. That review is ongoing. At the same time, the province still has to issue a effluent discharge permit to Imperial before it is in any position to open the mine. Final power line work to the location still needs to be completed as well.

Randy Preston
February 23, 1959 to October 4, 2014 It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to a remarkable husband, father, grandfather, brother, father-in-law and friend. With his family at his side, Randy passed unexpectedly but peacefully. Randy was born and raised in Terrace, the youngest child of Bill and Donalda Preston. He followed his father’s footsteps into the logging industry; however, after 30 years, he became a Machine Operator for Nechako Northcoast Contracting. Randy enjoyed fishing, hunting, 4x4ing, and making people laugh. Randy leaves behind to cherish his memory, his wife Valerie, children Caitlin (Sean), Jonah (Kirsten), and Zachary; grandchildren Paxten and Tucker; sister Linda, nieces, nephews and many friends. He will be dearly missed. The family would like to thank Dr. Lim, Dr. Meyburg, Dr. Moolman, the ICU/Emergency department staff (Serge, Priscilla, Donna, Bella, Anya, Emily, Leslie Ann), for all their support and kindness; and the First Responders and Emergency Personnel for their heroic efforts.

River Kings beat Rampage THE TERRACE River Kings continued to crush their early season competition with a 6-4 win against the Prince Rupert Rampage Oct. 11 at the Terrace Sportsplex that saw them outshoot the Rampage 49-28. The win put Terrace’s CIHL team undefeated and sitting at the top of the western division going into last Saturday’s game against the Smithers Steelheads – results which were not available by press deadline. River Kings general manager Ray Hallock said last week he is “confident to the max” that the team will continue their win streak. “Of course I do. This is the best team we have ever had,” said Hallock, noting that the team needs to be 100 per cent the whole season because there are only four playoff spots this year. During the Oct. 11 game, Terrace took an early lead against the Rampage, up 3-0 after the first period with goals from captain Steve Cullis (assists to Josh Murray and Lee Muir), Corbin Legros on the power play (assists to Muir and Cullis) and Cullis again, this time on the power play (assists to Ben Reinbolt and Murray). The first period saw the only fight of the game, a scrap between Jordan
Aubee and Calen Findlay. Prince Rupert captain Jared Meers (assists to Tyler Bates, Kory Movald) scored early in the second to briefly tighten the gap, but a powerplay goal by Terrace’s Reinbolt (assists to Corbin Legros, Cullis) 11 minutes in had the River Kings sitting at 4-1 going into the third. The Rampage came out determined in the third, with a goal by Movald (assists to Greg Sheppard, Tyler Bates) 2:39 in that was matched less than a minute later by Terrace’s Derek Jurista (assists to Nick Homeniuk, Chapen LeBlond). But two goals by Craig Munro (assists to Jared David, John Hunt, Jordan Weir, Sheppard), one on the powerplay, had the Rampage with the River Kings in their sights. But an empty net goal by Cullis sealed the game for the River Kings, who can boast starting the year 3-0 for the first time since the CIHL started keeping track of the games in 2009. The River Kings next home game is Halloween night against the Kitimat Ice Demons and patrons are encouraged to come in costume – there will be a $250 for best adult costume as well as a prize for best kids costume.

ELEVEN AND 12-year-olds at the firing line during the fifth annual bike biathlon at the Terrace Rod and Gun Club Oct. 4.
New recruits hit up bike biathlon THE TERRACE Rod and Gun Club hosted its fifth annual bike biathlon earlier this month. Thirty athletes participated, with ages ranging from sixyears-old up to masters (“I promised not to release ages of those over 18,” said organizer Chris Schooner in an email) on Saturday, October 4th, 2014. “This was our second year hosting a pre-race training camp, to teach biking and shooting skills to participants and to familiarize them with biathlon competitions,” he said. Biathlon consists of two sports combined – in this case mountain bike racing and marksmanship. Competitors race around a trail, shoot, race again,

n the 18th of May 1980, Mount Saint Helens blew its top. The eruption also sent super heated mudflows down the main stem of the Toutle River. The Toutle was a highly prized salmon stream with a robust run of steelhead. Steelhead spawn in the spring of the year, mostly in April and May. The steelhead ripening and spawning in the river at the time of the cataclysm were fried. Those that entered later that spring would have perished. There were some reports that Toutle steelhead entered the nearby Kalama River and spawned, but these were probably apocryphal. The general expectation was that the Toutle would be barren of steelhead and other species of Pacific Salmon for a century. Five years later approximately 2000 wild steelhead returned to the river. Three years later an estimated 2200 steelhead spawned in the Toutle’s South Fork. Steelhead are tough enough to withstand a devastating eruption and the consequent pyroclastic tides, but not, it appears, tough enough to withstand artificial enhancement. Eager to assist the repopulation of the Toutle by wild steelhead, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) began planting hatchery reared summer steelhead in the river’s south fork. This was a well-meaning but misguided initiative undertaken about five years before a handful of concerned fishery biologists and conservation based organizations began to question the outcomes of hatchery production on the reproductive success of fish.

THE SIXTH annual Guns and Hoses charity hockey game is set for November 7 at the Terrace Sportsplex, and area firemen are looking to chip away at the RCMP’s winning average. The annual event, which began the year of Hockeyville, sees local firefighters face off against members of the local RCMP detachment for a good cause. “Firefighting is all about being a team and those skills are often learned during team sports,” said firefighter and event organizer Jeff Minnhinick. “I personally wanted to run a charity event that I believed in and putting kids in sports that otherwise couldn’t afford it.” Over the past five years, about $40,000 has been raised for Jump Start Terrace, a charity that connects local kids with money for sports equipment and programs. “Cops won last year, four out of the five years they have won,” he said. “We raised about $6,700 for Jump Start Terrace.” He said the firefighters don’t practise together regularly, but a few members do play noon hour hockey “the odd time together.” And the RCMP typically has an advantage in the game, simply because they have a bigger pool of members to choose from. Doors open at 6 p.m. and puck drops at 7 p.m. November 7.
Sadly, the same thing cannot be said for Federal Fisheries whose charge are the other Pacific salmon species. Our civil servants at DFO operate no fewer than 20 salmon hatcheries in the face of mounting evidence that hatcheries are biologically bankrupt and may well represent the single greatest threat to the health of the stocks. Though it doesn’t represent the same kind of fundamental threat to species integrity as the other hatcheries, the Babine spawning channels at Pinkut Creek and Fulton River in concert with sloppy management practice enable the continuance of an ecologically unsound net fishery that ultimately undermines the biological diversity of Skeena Salmon stocks including the diversity of the very species it seeks to enhance. The reason this deplorable situation, and hatcheries in general, are allowed to continue is a result of a phenomenon know as regulatory capture, a form of corruption that occurs when a regulatory agency that has a mandate to act in the public interest advances the commercial or special concerns of the interest groups that dominate the industry or sector it is charged with regulating. DFO’s relation to the fishing industry is a text book case of regulatory capture. And, now the institution is cozying up to fish farmers. When First Nations, emboldened by the recent decision of the Supreme Court, take a similar approach as fish advocates in Washington and file suit against the federal institution that destroyed their fishery in the first instance, and have acted against their interest since then, this will change.

Furthermore, the 2015 Colorado’s configurations are available in an extended cab model with a 6-foot bed, a crew cab with a 5-foot bed and a crew cab with a 6-foot bed. With the tailgate down, the 6-foot bed allows hauling of 8-foot-long items. Even though both trucks are built on GM’s Global mid-size truck platform, they are targeted at two different buyers. The GMC Canyon has more upscale features and a lavish cabin – something I wouldn’t have said before when it comes to midsize trucks – while the Colorado is more utilitarian in nature. No matter how you slice it, both of these trucks have impressive features. One is its quietness. Whether driving

Charlotte, NC – The launch for the heavily updated Toyota Camry took place here in the heart of NASCAR country. Along the drive route, there were several NASCAR stops, one at the Hall of Fame, and another at Joe Gibbs Racing and a third at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This was all to emphasize just how American the Camry has become. The chief engineer of the 2015 Camry is from Michigan, not Japan, as was the case with the rest of the crew that
updated over 2000 parts on this latest sedan. The car is Toyota’s cornerstone in the United States, thanks in part to the association the brand and the car has with the immensely popular NASCAR series and the long reputation it has for reliability and value. It is the most popular passenger car in North America and number one in the United States. However, that is not the case in Canada, where it lies third in the Toyota lineup behind the Corolla and RAV4. Looks When a car is typically refreshed,

Popular Camry undergoes major update the designers add a new front bumper, grille headlights and rear taillights and call it a day. Not the case here, the 2015 Toyota Camry has all-new sheet metal, providing a sleeker and more eye-catching design. The wheelbase remains the same length but the track, side-to-side has been widened for more stability. The overall length is only slightly longer, in the nose, to help achieve the more polished look. The interesting thing is this new more youthful design actually makes the car look smaller, mostly due to the less slab-sided look

This is now a very nice looking car but from about fifty paces the new Camry looks very similar to the new Corolla, which was refreshed last year and is selling very well. There is a new trim level in the Camry lineup, the XSE, sportier looking trim that enabled Toyota to lower the price of the, still sporty, SE trim by $2,000 to $24,990.

distinctive design. Inside Inside, the refresh focuses more on ease of use and refined materials. The top of the dash is the only carry-over part, which is still a soft touch material with French stitching. What has been added is faux suede on the doors with the ability to get two-tone seats in the Camry, also with faux suede, but the updated seats are only in the new XSE trim.

Popular Camry undergoes major update continued from page A31
rotary dials for ease of use, a welcome update for older buyers. To appeal to younger intenders, the Camry has the latest connectivity and on the top XLE models a wireless charging system in the centre cubby but the phone either needs a special sleeve or integrated wireless charging technology. Plus, there is a new screen between the speedo and tachometer for a quick reference of the radio, navigation or phone calls. These are all welcome updates but the major competitor for this car is the Honda Accord and the interior on that car is much more upscale and technologically advanced, with two screens and a higher end feel. Drive Not just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car. The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and these systems have been notorious for poor feedback to the driver. This new 2015 Camry is a big step foreword. Straight-line stability has been improved and the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver. To highlight this, a stock off-the-
showroom 2015 Camry, with regular tires was used at the Charlotte Motor Speedway for hot laps. With a pro NASCAR driver at the wheel, this new sedan easily navigated around the oval at speeds over 200 km/h. No fuss, no problem. Not something anyone in a road-going Camry will experience but a good demonstration. Verdict What haven’t been updated are the engine and transmission choices. The same 178hp 2.5L 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic does duty along with an optional 3.5L V6 putting out 268hp. Yes, this is known equipment and these engines have a proven record but with Honda and other providing direct injection engines and new slick transmissions, it might be safe to go with “tried and true” but at some point these engines will require upgrades or replacements. As it stands, this is much more than a regular mid-cycle facelift. The 2015 Camry looks much better, drives with more confidence and has a pleasant interior. With the help of NASCAR, the Camry will remain a North American staple, this time with a lot more style. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 2.5L 187hp 4-cylinder or 3.5L V6 with 268hp Fill-up: 9.7L/6.9L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $23.850-$34,550
