Mayor has ‘super’ city vision By JOSH MASSEY OUTGOING TERRACE mayor Dave Pernarowski is calling on the future city council to work toward the creation of what he calls a “super-municipality” in which Thornhill and Terrace would be harmoniously joined. Speaking at his last State of the City address to the Terrace & District Chamber

of Commerce luncheon held Oct. 23, Pernarowski said that while the amalgamation of Thornhill and Terrace has been rejected by way of a referendum in years past, times have changed. “A couple of years ago the idea of amalgamation or boundary extension wasn’t really the right timing,” Pernarowski said to the business crowd gathered to see his farewell, one in which

Meanwhile, moves are underway to study the feasibility of having Thornhill incorporate. For that story, See Page A5. the mayor of six years shed a few tears as he recounted his time in office. “Now might be the right timing. I think we should do a study of it. A really thorough study,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kitimat-Stikine regional district Thornhill director Ted Ramsey is promoting a different path for the community and that is to incorporate and separate from the regional dis-

trict to have its own mayor, council and administration. Ramsey was unopposed in the nomination period leading up to next month’s local government elections and has been returned to his position by acclamation. Pernarowski said a provincial government-aided study might prove incorporation to be the right choice but he sounds willing to hedge his bets against that

conclusion. “I mean maybe we’ll see that taking Thornhill and making it a separate little community makes sense,” he said. The question of amalgamation has twice gone to referendum. A 1997 referendum saw Terrace voters voting in favour with Thornhill voters rejecting the idea.

Garbage bylaw now approved By MARGARET SPEIRS GARBAGE COLLECTION and recycling in the regional district is set to start next month after the bylaw for it passed with all but one vote at the Kitimat-Stikine regional district board meeting Oct. 24. It marks the end of sustained protests not only about the bylaw itself, which sets out how garbage is to be collected and in what size containers and imposes an annual fee of $200, but complaints that the regional district does too much business behind closed doors. The bylaw and its development also sparked the resignation of one regional district director, Doug McLeod. Residents continued to question the bylaw Oct. 24 leading right up to the vote. Three residents took their turns telling the regional district what they didn’t like about the proposed garbage collection plan bylaw. Richard Tiernan told the board it should respect the 700-signature petition signed by residents who wanted a chance to vote on the bylaw, saying it’s imperative that the board realize that people aren’t against recycling but rather it’s what they see as the board’s way of pushing it on them that they don’t like. “It’s the ‘jam it down the throat’ attitude here,” he said about what people see the board doing. Only the people affected should be voting for it and not residents in other areas of the regional district who won’t be affected by the bylaw, he added.

A LARGE crane used to lower two modular building units onto waiting foundations at Veritas School Oct. 24 marked the beginning of the end of a project to establish a home for the Catholic school’s trades training program. “With the addition of Grade 8 and, this year, Grade 9, the need to have a standalone module was absolutely necessary,” says school woodworking instructor Allan McIntyre of the project. The two single wide modules will, when joined and in service, make for a 54 X 28 foot structure containing a 35 X 28 shop and a 15 X 28 classroom, he said. McIntyre estimated the project cost at $250,000. “And that’s at a turn key operation, including equipment in the shop and computers in the classroom,” he said. The two units are now taking up the location of what was an outdoor basketball court

just to the south of the school’s gym. Although intended primarily for Veritas school students, McIntyre said Veritas is speaking with various groups about renting out the space when not needed by the school.

City rapped for Chinese land deal By JOSH MASSEY CITY COUNCIL has been criticized by a former council candidate for the sale of approximately half of its Skeena Industrial Development Park to Chinese industrial interests. Chris Gee, an unsuccessful candidate in the 2011 municipal elections, said China has a poor human rights record and questionable environmental standards. “I am here to remind you that this deal is your legacy. Your names will be forever associated with the outcome of this endeavour,” Gee told council when it met Oct. 14. Gee said he has an intimate knowledge of Chinese ideology from his father who lived in China for a number of years and from his stepmother who is from Shanghai. The city’s sale of more than 1,000 acres of the industrial park to the agency which operates a special economic development zone in and around the Chinese city of Qinhuangdao earlier this year was hailed by council as a way to increase the city’s industrial tax base and provide stable employment. Gee argued that democracypromoting novelists have been jailed in China and quoted major Canadian political and policy figures who argue that close ties with foreign countries are not in Canada’s best interests. Gee even quoted Mao Zedong, the principal founder of the Chinese Communist Party, which runs the country: “If the US monopoly capitalist groups persist in pushing their policies of aggression and war the day is bound to come when the people of

the whole world will hang them. The same fate awaits the accomplices of the United States.” Gee said he was confident the city had spoken with experts in pursuing its business deal. “I am confident you sought the council of the best trade lawyers in Canada. I am confident you asked for the opinions of experts in the field of human rights. I am confident you took council from specialists in the field of air and water pollution. I am confident the opinion of these experts will be reflected in the final contract. I am confident you were dazzled by your hosts when you visited China. I am confident that you undertook these negotiations in a manner akin to a man in a room with an unchained tiger. I am confident that Terrace will be forever changed by this,” he said. Councillor Brian Downie, who was filling in for Dave Pernarowski as mayor that evening, and councillor James Cordeiro spoke against Gee’s opinion, though Cordeiro said he respected Gee’s reasoning and Downie said his points were “noted”. The sale of the industrial park land has yet to officially close but one of the projects being first talked about is a plant to extract protein from alfalfa and ship the commodity to China where it is in short supply. The city is to receive $11.8 million for the industrial park land. Gee had also been asked to be placed on the agenda so he could talk about the closure of his non-profit Skeena Bicycle Service. The service offered instruction in bicycle repairs and maintenance.

Moves underway to give Thornhill municipal status

By MARGARET SPEIRS

Just the facts

egional District of KitimatStikine Thornhill director Ted Ramsey wants to see Thornhill become incorporated as a stand alone municipality, saying there are too many people living within its boundaries to be governed effectively by the regional district. “A regional district is not intended, and has not ever been intended, to run a community the size of Thornhill,” he said last week. He added that with incorporation, Thornhill would still be a part of the regional district as Terrace is but wouldn’t be governed by the regional district anymore. “Thornhill needs to look after itself,” he said, adding that right now it’s being governed by people from Dease Lake and Hazelton “and that’s just wrong.” Ramsey put a motion on the table at the regional district board meeting in September to start the process of incorporation, which was seconded by Terrace city representative Stacey Tyers and voted on and passed by the board. The regional district has since sent a letter to the Ministry of Sport, Community and Cultural Development to ask how to proceed on incorporation. Based on a favourable response from the province to the idea of incorporation, a consultant would take a look at Thornhill and indicate what all of its options are, said Ramsey. And any prospect of incorporation would ulti-

THORNHILL JUNIOR Secondary School, closed by the school district because of a declining student population, is being touted as the administrative home for Thornhill should a bid for municipal status be successful. mately have to be approved by Thornhill residents in a referendum. A referendum would be held to ask the people of Thornhill if they wanted to incorporate and provide them with the options, after the people were advised of the pros and cons of it, said Ramsey. “I think the timing is good, the future is bright and it’s one of the most exciting things since Thornhill was started,” said Ramsey. But while Thornhill residents would ultimately see the creation of a separate administrative structure,

Ramsey is predicting that its residents will continue to pay for services in Terrace in the same fashion as they do now. Thornhill residents, through specific tax assessments, pay to help support the Terrace Public Library and the Terrace Sportsplex. “Why duplicate services?” he said. Ramsey’s governance vision for Thornhill is to get ownership from the school district of the closed Thornhill Junior Secondary School and use it for a town hall. He’s also in contact with a wood pellet company he

hopes will settle in Thornhill and add to its tax base and provide 300 jobs. “The community is going to blossom,” said Ramsey. Whereas Thornhill now has one member on the regional district board, Ramsey suggests that could increase to two, just as is the case with Terrace. “It would be very little change, except we’d govern ourselves,” he said about Thornhill. “Thornhill should’ve done this 20 years ago but there was no incentive,” he said, adding that a community base is well estab-

Back in 1997

Ted Ramsey lished. “Old Thornhill as we know it is done,” said Ramsey.

Crown land applications still on hold WHETHER OR not Thornhill ever does incorporate, it could face large changes regardless because of two competing applications filed to purchase provincial Crown lands. Those applications are now on hold because the regional district earlier this year requested that the province hold off on awarding tenure until it is able to look at the best use of the land as part of an update to its Official Settlement Plan (OSP). That updated OSP is still in the planning stages, with regional district planners preparing the terms of reference with the expectation that those will be worked out by the end of November, said regional

district planner Andrew Webber Oct. 23. Once the terms of reference are worked out, finding the money to pay for the project is the next step. Community consultations will also be part of updating the community plan, and while the issue of Thornhill self-government or amalgamation will likely arise during those discussions, the OSP is a land-use plan and not a governance plan, so it's not explicitly there to address Thornhill's potential future government structure. The two crown land applications are from M&M Ventures and Bear Creek Contracting. M&M Ventures in looking to

develop 124 single family residential lots on 40 hectares, and would be phased in at approximately 30 lots a year leading towards 2020. Bear Creek Contracting's proposal, for the same area, details a mix of residential, commercial and community spaces. A map included in the application shows Bear Creek’s vision for the crown land, which is north of Century St., to Crescent St., and between Paquette Avenue, and Sharples Road in Thornhill. One parcel to the east is designated commercial, with parcels further north and to the west of Sharples proposed as multi-residential. Along Century St., two parcels

ACCORDING TO Andrew Webber, regional district manager planning and economic development, Thornhill, electoral area E, has a population of 3,988 plus another 95 residents at Kulspai, which is the Kitselas reserve on Queensway Drive., for a total around 4,000 in the last census. The boundaries are Queensway Dr. to the hill by the CN bridge, not quite to the Copper River to homes referred to as Copper City (by Azorcan along Hwy 16), and along Old Lakelse Lake Road just up to the Thornhill landfill, he said. Upon incorporation, classification of whether Thornhill would be considered a village, town or city would be based on population and area. There are four classifications set out in the Local Government Act: a village is less than 2500; a town is bigger than a village but not greater than 5000; a city is bigger than a town (so greater than 5000); a district can have any population but if the area is greater than 800 hectares and population density is less than 5 people per hectare (2.5 acres), it is classified as a district.

of land – totalling nearly 20 hectares – are marked as community and institutional development and are not part of the crown land application. The application states that the community and institutional parcels "should be reserved by the regional district for the development of the future Thornhill community in accordance with the provisions of the Thornhill Official Settlement Plan (OSP)." When the applications were first filed, a number of residents in the surrounding area signed petitions opposing the development, citing concerns over losing the natural wooded areas and too drastically changing the landscape of the area.

WHILE THORNHILL residents could very well go to the polls in the next several years to decide if they wish to incorporate, they were by no means thrilled when asked about the idea of amalgamating with Terrace in a 1997 referendum. A ‘yes’ vote was needed by both communities for amalgamation to take place but 58 per cent of the 1,301 Thornhill voters who went to the polls in October 1997 rejected the idea. By contrast, 87 per cent of the 1,483 Terrace voters who cast ballots favoured the idea. The prospect of rising taxes, which was acknowledged in the run up to the vote that year,, was cited often by Thornhill voters as a reason for saying ‘no’ to joining with Terrace in one large municipality. Information prepared at the time of the vote did indicate that while Thornhill residents would experience a modest tax hike phased in over five years, businesses would be affected more in order to bring taxes in line with what Terrace businesses were paying.

OPINION

www.terracestandard.com

Wednesday, October 29, 2014 Terrace Standard

EDITORIAL Capital idea FORMER Terrace resident Max Durando, now living in Victoria, struck a rich vein of comment several months ago when he suggested Terrace needed a slogan. Gord Shaben favoured “Terrace – Naturally Dynamic” while Jacques Charbonneau liked “Pearl of the Northwest” and JR Walker looked to a colour palette with “Green Rivers, Red Fish and White Bears.” Mr. Durando chose “Vibrant by Nature” while Brandon Greenall, in reflecting the current economy, suggested “Terrace, a great place to live, but the rent will kill you.” These and other suggestions speak highly of how Terrace is regarded by its citizens and why. But a slogan should also say something to someone from the outside. Terrace, because of its geographic location, is the hub of the northwest. Its airport has the most (and growing) passenger traffic. Mills Memorial Hospital is by all accounts the area’s regional medical centre and the city contains the largest number of specialists. Northwest Community College’s main campus is here and the city is the base for senior governments. Each day employees of numerous companies offering goods and services to the region fan out to other locations. All of that and more make up the who, what, where and why of the city. And that leads to the obvious: Terrace – Capital of Northwestern B.C. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Such as the forgetfulness that sends us to a store for a duplicate item because we can’t remember where we left something last time we held it. Like my two pairs of cutting pliers. One friend competent in carpentry who has made herself more than one bookshelf tallies her projects by the number of hammers lined up on her tool bench. Somewhere in my house I have two 28-inch zippers for replacing a gap-toothed zipper in my winter jacket. Instead of sewing in the first zipper last spring, I put off the task knowing warm weather would soon have me wearing a lighter jacket. By the time fall weather made replacing the zipper urgent I couldn’t find the zipper. I got a second one.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI I’ve misplaced it, too. But if I ever find one, I’m sure I’ll find both. Those misplacements, though, are of no great consequence. The error I finally recognized this morning is much more serious. For years I’ve been on a daily dose of Warfarin, a drug that thins the blood to prevent blood clots. My normal daily dosage is 10 to 11 mg. The dose varies depending upon the results of a frequent blood test called INR which measures clotting time. Thinning the blood too much can cause hemorrhaging; too little can produce

a clot which could block a blood vessel to the heart causing a heart attack, or to the brain causing a stroke. I have prescriptions for 1 mg. peach-coloured tablets and for 5 mg. rose tablets. For weeks my INR kept dropping much to my doctor’s consternation. Yesterday he asked me to come in and see him. I worried all night. Am I suffering liver disease? Is that why my INR is dropping? This morning as I counted out my dose something prompted me to check the size of the tablets in the 5 mg. bottle. I had never noticed before it held two colours. Mixed in with the rose were a few peach tablets. Guess when I received the last prescription refills, I combined leftover 1’s with 5’s, or vice versa. How long might I have been taking toosmall doses? Little wonder my INR continued dropping. Recognizing seniors’ penchant for memory lapses, a company that makes hightech running shoes for athletes produces a shoe adaptable to tracking wandering dementia patients. (Studies show up to 70 percent of

Alzheimer’s patients tend to wander away and become lost at least once.) Made by GTX and called the SmartSole, the shoe’s sole incorporates a GPS device which produces a ‘Google map’ showing the wanderer’s route and location. If the patient steps beyond the allotted range, for instance outside a home’s fenced yard, the GPS signals a monitor. The map leads searchers right to the wanderer. My family often urges me to carry a cell phone when I walk my dogs on trails through the bush. I have been known to trip over a root, or slide down on a muddy hill where nothing was available to grab on to, except my dog’s fur. A cell phone would let me call for help. But how would anyone find me out there? If I were wearing SmartSole shoes, I would be easy to track ... if anyone had reason to search for me. Pairing a cell phone with Smart Sole shoes might work best. Claudette Sandecki puts her best foot forward in Thornhill, B.C.

The Mail Bag Get detachment a Criminal Code Dear Sir: Judging by the disproportionate number of violent incidents by RCMP officers in your community I suggest that you purchase a copy of the Criminal Code of Canada and send it to the officer in charge of the Terrace RCMP detachment. Based on the number of incidents involving Terrace RCMP officers using excessive force, it certainly appears the officers at the Terrace detachment are ignorant of Section 26 of the Code which clearly places limits on when police can and cannot use force. As the Shane Parker case demonstrated, the code of conduct investigations by the RCMP are a complete joke. The RCMP are not exempt from the Criminal Code of Canada and someone should explain that to the Officer in charge of the Terrace RCMP detachment. Demand assault charges be laid against the officers involved in these incidents and let the courts decide whether their behaviour is or is not a criminal offence. Darryl Davies, Nepean, Ontario

Lots of impacts Dear Sir: Full disclosure: I am a self-employed consultant. My livelihood depends entirely upon extractive industry; gas, oil and rock. I have greatest respect for these enterprises and the people who make a living from them. That doesn’t mean I don’t think what I do has impacts; I know what I do has impacts. I may spend my days in clean offices in front of computers, or talking with people about issues. Trying to just make things safer is what I do.

SKEENA - Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen speaks to a Terrace audience about his bill to ban supertankers carrying oil products from the north coast of British Columbia.

Coast protection motivates MP Dear Sir: I was interested to read in the October 1st edition of The Terrace Standard a response from guest columnist Malcolm Baxter to my bill to stop Enbridge Northern Gateway. While Mr. Baxter makes a number of interesting points for debate, it’s the underlying

assumption and conclusion of his column – that this effort has been undertaken “mostly [for] political posturing” – which I find disappointing and inaccurate. I am grateful for the opportunity to respond. My bill, An Act to Defend the Pacific Northwest (C-628), proposes three things: it would

stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway project by enacting an oil tanker ban on the North Coast; it would force pipeline proponents to look at adding value to resources and creating jobs in Canada; and it would strengthen consultations between the federal government and communities and First Na-

tions at pipeline reviews. Mr. Baxter is concerned about the technical language used in the bill. The wording of the bill is the most direct way to ensure that our coast continues to remain tanker-free and I use the terms supertanker and bulk oil tankers frequently.

Here’s your chance to have a say

serious question for those candidates wishing to serve the community is, “What is your vision for the next 20 or 30 years for Terrace and its surroundings?” It’s a question that was put to me by two college-age women who rang the doorbell one evening not long ago. The two were doing a survey for the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition and wanted to know what I thought about Terrace’s future, and where I thought our community should direct its energies. It might be imagined that, as per our provincial government’s enthusiastic embrasure of the possibilities for liquefied natural gas, many would envision massive industrial intervention and development, expanded housing for workers migrating here from elsewhere in Canada and around the world, and the concomitant opportunities for local businesses and growing social services. Certainly improved opportunities (economic and otherwise)

sound good to most of us. Naturally the next question must be, “At what cost?” In an economic model that consistently reminds us that there is no free lunch, we would be well advised to address what the costs to such developments might be, and who will pay them, and who will get the benefits, and in what proportions. (One is reminded of Leonard Cohen’s stark lyrics to Democracy, a song on his 1995 album The Future: “…the homicidal bitchin’ that goes down in every kitchen, to determine who will serve and who will eat.”) This is especially important when we consider that fossil fuel production and use have long relied upon free dumping of waste into the atmosphere for centuries, a practice that must end if we are going to survive on this planet. Further costs include the industrial despoliation of wilderness, the potential wreckage of watersheds and destruction of (until now) almost infinitely renewable populations of food fish, and so on.

GUEST COMMENT

AL LEHMANN All those costs accumulate, and will be collected sooner or later, in one way or another. However, there are other visions of a future for the region that should be at least part of the general equation. The survey included questions about family priorities within the larger community, voice (are you heard?...hmm…), tipping points in industrial development, lo-

cal food, outstanding questions about land and First Nations negotiations, and the future. I tried to emphasize the following. We need to complete treaties that equitably address all First Nations land claims. Any industrial development projected on such areas can progress only by way of legal treaties. We need more equitable arrangements of power and benefits from economic activity in the region. Getting hardballed by corporations largely owned by global interests (including foreign governments), or by governments owned by corporate lobbyists is not in our best interests. We need to continue to increase the progress we have been making on local food production and distribution, including stocking the food bank(s). We need to hasten our energy independence from fossil fuels, a process that will be a difficult transition. We need to address our growing greying demography (increasing numbers of aging, retired people) by improving public

health, public transportation infrastructure, home care, etc. We need to maintain and improve our public education infrastructure (physical plant and human participants’ skills, qualifications and motivations). Naturally, these priorities all have cost implications, as well. Further, none of these goals will be met in a society without energy, or lumber, or metal. There will have to be some carefully thought out compromises. However, if Skeena development priorities remain exclusively aligned with corporate Canada’s general ethos of “cut it, catch it, or dig it out of the ground and sell it so consumers can buy more plastic junk from China,” some of us may profit in the short run, but most will find ourselves generally impoverished. What would you like to see in Skeena’s future? Google Skeena 2050, find the questions, and try to answer them for yourselves. We’re all in this together.

From Page A7

MP defends the coast Letâ€™s also be clear: there is no contradiction between encouraging more upgrading and refining in Canada, and enacting an oil tanker ban on the North Coast. Canada imports half of its energy from places like Algeria and Saudi Arabia. The threat posed by Enbridgeâ€™s pipeline and supertankers is a clear and present danger to our economy, environment and way of life. Sending 220 supertankers laden with diluted bitumen through the Douglas Channel every year â€“ or 11,000 over the full 50-year life cycle of the project â€“ when government and industry admit that cleaning up a diluted bitumen spill is virtually impossible. Ask the good folks of Kalamazoo, Michigan what their experience has been like. Communities and First Nations across the Northwest and British Columbia have widely condemned the proposal â€“ but have been ignored by the federal government. And the Alberta Federation of Labour estimates that up to 25,000 jobs could be created Canada if the amount Enbridge intends to export raw was upgraded and refined in Canada. My bill seeks to put respect and shared benefit back into the national conversation on energy. That

is why I was proud that Coastal First Nations (who represent First Nations across B.C.â€™s north and central coasts and Haida Gwaii) and Canadaâ€™s largest private sector union, UNIFOR, were the first two organizations to lend my bill their support. Town councils, environment groups and ordinary citizens from across the north and around B.C. are coming on-board as well. The Act to Defend the Pacific Northwest is a sincere effort at protecting what we as British Columbians and Canadians value most, while correcting some of the worst mistakes of the Harper Conservatives. I will reach out to B.C. MPs from all parties and have received good support so far. Far from â€œpolitical posturingâ€?, this is an important moment in a conversation that has been taking place in our region for a decade â€“ and one that is bringing people together across the most unlikely lines. By the way, I take no offence at being called the MLA, but happily Robin Austin holds that position for us in Victoria. Nathan Cullen, Member of Parliament, Skeena â€“ Bulkley Valley, Ottawa, Ontario

Doesnâ€™t like the impacts But I am keenly aware that if it werenâ€™t for the fracking crews, or the drillers, or the miners just a few degrees of separation from my job, I wouldnâ€™t have a job at all that I am actually qualified for. Iâ€™ve spent near enough to half my life as a resident of Terrace. I must like it. When I first arrived the town was lively and booming. I stayed through the last down turn, and found a way to keep living here. And now the town is lively and booming again. That return to prosperity has unfortunately been accompanied by some vicious economic injustice to those who canâ€™t afford say, $2500 after tax dollars or more to rent a living space for a month. But that is what Capitalism does. It is not about you, or us, it is about itself, and whether or not it is good for you doesnâ€™t matter. Neither does the scale of the impacts. We owe a nod of thanks to Feng Zhiqiang, executive vice-president of Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Co. and Shamsul Azhar Abbas, the chief executive officer of Petronas, for stripping away the nonsense and making it plain to us, that what is happening here in northwest B.C. is not about us, nor is it for us. In fact it has got nothing to do with us. It would be happening anyway even if we werenâ€™t here, and in fact they would probably prefer it if we werenâ€™t.

(we) lacks the capacity to do what he wants done. He has stated flat out that Canada (we) needs to drop restrictions on foreign workers and let China do this. We should get all those lazy inefficient Canadians out of the way (and presumably take all their labour, safety and environmental standards with them) and let China do the projects. Mr. Feng has told us in plain English that you donâ€™t send a boy (Canada) to do a manâ€™s (Chinaâ€™s) work. Mr. Shamsul has made it clear that the LNG processors are here to do Canada a favour by getting rid of that gas for us. And he finds it petulant that we would want a slice of his pie. Taxes and royalties had better be token. In fact, it is up to us to pull our forelocks and properly incentivize Petronas to come to B.C.; not expect to be able to pay off our debts as a result of his efforts. (So much for debt free B.C.) He has also been very clear that our environmental processes need to be thrown out as well. They have already done the drawings for the project on Lelu island, screw the fish. This boom is not about you or me, or B.C. or Canada, and it is certainly not about the Skeena, or the salmon. I understand that what I do has impacts. But I donâ€™t have to like it.

Equipment installed at first-ever brewery By ANNA KILLEN TERRACE’S FIRST brewery is on course to open on schedule, thanks to the on-time arrival of some heavy equipment earlier this month. A 53-foot flatbed truck arrived from California Oct. 9, on it the brewery’s three shiny new fermentors and one bright tank – the tank where the beer settles and matures – equipment that now fills the 2,600 square foot space. “It’s exciting,” said Sherwood Mountain Brewery owner Darryl Tucker Oct. 9 at the brewery-in-progress location in the former Out Spoke’n Bike & Sport location on Hwy16 West. He and business partner Linda Parker have been busy transforming the space over the summer, and with the fermentors arriving on schedule, the team now moves to the next

Local company on top 100 list LOCAL COMPANY Coast Mountain Wireless has been named one of the top 100 companies in the province measured by percentage growth in revenue over the past five years. The ranking, compiled by business magazine Business in Vancouver, places the local communications company at 54th out of 100 companies with a percentage revenue growth of 112.5 per cent – $1.6 million in revenues to $3.4 million – from 2009 to 2013. Coast Mountain is also only one of three companies of the 100 on the list to be located outside of the Lower Mainland. The first four companies on the list are mining companies with Boston Pizza and Lululemon Athletica also making an appearance. Coast Mountain’s Rob Dykman said he was surprised and pleased to first receive a phone call and then

a letter regarding the company’s placement. “We’ve had some periods of ups and downs but I can tell you our growth has really come in the past two years,” he said last week. Coast Mountain Wireless specializes in installing and maintaining communications networks in remote locations, often installing equipment on mountaintops. Dykman said the company’s growth is being felt in its employee complement which has increased recently from 12 to 16 with projections of reaching 20 very soon. Dykman and another Coast Mountain em-

ployee flew to Vancouver several weeks ago to attend a conference as part of the Top 100 magazine list. He also took part in a panel discussion with two other business representatives, one from a large alternate energy company. “It felt a little intimidating a first,” said Dykman. But he noted the opportunity gave him a chance to speak about Terrace and the north coast and the economic opportunities now in place here. Dykman is the chair of the Terrace Economic Development Authority, the local agency charged with promoting Terrace and area.

New reverend at Knox United By MARGARET SPEIRS

TERRACE’S KNOX United Church has a new reverend. Teri Meyer, who officially started here Oct. 1, came from Kamloops where she was in the ministry there for four years at Kamloops United Church. Before that, she spent six years in Quesnel and before that was living in the Lower Mainland working and getting her psychology/ anthropology and then masters in divinity degrees. She got involved in the United Church at age 16 through a friend and after taking a five-month course on family dynamics and communication at Naramata Centre, just north of Penticton, decided she wanted to serve in some way. A facilitator suggested she might want to try it out by volunteering first and, after a 12-month program Youth in Training as an intern in Penticton, thought she could do it. So she moved down south for her education. She applied for the position here after buying a house in Quesnel and needing a full-time job – her position in Kamloops was part-time – to pay the mortgage. Meyer grew up on Vancouver Island and when she moved to the big city, she loved having so much to do but it wasn’t for her to live there permanently. She was in Quesnel for two months when she returned to the Lower Mainland and when she was coming back to Quesnel and driving down the big hill into town she

thought “Thank God I’m home” – realizing she already considered Quesnel home. “Coming to Terrace, I feel like I’m on the right side of the mountain range even though it is the left side,” she said. Being an avid canoeist, hiker and snowshoer, she loves that Terrace has four separate seasons. One area of new work for her is in the congregation’s wish to reach out to build relationships with First Nations. “It’s kind of exciting,” she said. Meyer has an affinity for First Nations’ culture and spirituality and grew up with two adopted twin cousins who were First Nation. One passed away and the other returned to his nation once he was old enough to leave home, and she’d love to reconnect with him although she isn’t sure where he is. Growing up on Vancouver Island in a logging camp and Port Alberni, which was a racially divided community, she saw the unjust treatment and lack of acceptance with the First Nations and felt an affinity with them. As part of her psychology and anthropology degree, she did everything she could to learn about healing, reconciliation, the culture and spirituality of the west coast First Nations with the intent of going to the Vancouver School of Theology and eventually going into First Nations ministry but at that time was told because she wasn’t from a First Nation village and wasn’t First Nations, that she couldn’t. She became involved with the

’m sitting on a small brown deck in rural Sooke on Vancouver Island, surrounded by a large assortment of ceramic planters and pots growing various herbs, annuals, and tomato plants—all slightly past their prime, yellowed and bedraggled from last night’s heavy rain, but still beautiful in the warm midmorning sun. The deck itself is nestled into a stony knoll, and if I reached through the railing, I could touch rough-barked tree stumps, saturated, carpet-thick moss, massive ancient rocks, and wild flowers. Beyond my immediate reach, scattered trees grow old man’s beard and bear little bird and squirrel houses here and there—and further still, a wall of pines, staggered by age and leaning from years of wind, shelter the house, no less protective for all their wear and tear. The air is sweet and fresh, but try as I might I can’t catch a whiff of salt, despite how close I am to the ocean. The setting and peaceful calm is lovely after a busy few days in Surrey. Yet, perhaps weirdly, I enjoyed the traffic, the noise, the ongoing stretch of concrete and buildings, and crush of people and activity there just as much as I enjoy the solitude here. Something about the cacophony of sound—sirens, motors, brakes, piped music from restaurants—and the bustling throngs of people, ever moving, ever flowing with and against and in spite of the traffic thrills me, kindles ideas, appeals to my curiosity. . . . All that might grow tiresome after a while, but I don’t know. . . . Sometimes I long

Road trip musings to live in, or near, a bigger city—and though I’ve heard a few people complain about Terrace’s recent growth and new busyness, I find myself hoping it continues. I love the huge mix of culture, personality and purpose that come together and collide in cities. I adore the vast array of amazing restaurants, eclectic shops, galleries, and events to take in— and I revel in the fun of having things to do at night after 10 p.m. (The night owl side of my personality is wasted in a small town!) Oh, wait—my thoughts are being in-

truded upon by a different type of activity. Three Stellar jays have discovered a bird feeder about 10 feet away from where I’m perched. And you think city drivers are impatient. They have nothing on these frenzied blue-bodied, black hooded birds. I relate all too well to the jays’ greedy delight for more, more, more, as I try to make sense of the longings I have when I travel. I always want to stay longer, see more, go further away—or maybe live somewhere else permanently—when another part of me can’t imagine living anywhere other than Terrace. Its geography, weather, and people are such an intrinsic, shaping part of who I am and how I think and see the world that I wonder whether I even could successfully move away. Maybe I’d be like one of those trees you see pulled into the Skeena, adrift and floating, roots exposed, broken off from the shore that previously anchored them. Then another part of me says, No . . . you’re more parasite than tree, Ev. You’d adapt and happily make any new host your comfy home. (The tree imagery is definitely prettier though!) Ah, well, either way, whether I’m in Terrace till the end of my days (something I often hope for and sort of romanticize), or whether I do end up elsewhere for a while or forever, I’m happy. A break is as good as a change—and I know that after another week or so of city dwelling, I’ll be thrilled to be home and will think there’s no better place for me—or at least until the next time I take flight, anyway.

ELECTION 2014

Terrace Standard Wednesday, October 29, 2014

Manufacturing wanted DON DUNSTER is angling for a spot on city council from a perspective that is unique. A part-time accountant who has overcome severe alcoholism and the removal of large parts of his intestine from an undiagnosed disease, the 74-year-old Terrace resident of 41 years lives and works out of a secondhand camper van after experiencing first hand the Terrace housing crunch. He ran for mayor in 2011, but had to quit mid-campaign because of his health problems. He is currently a member at large of the Terrace and District Community Services Society and used to sit on the hospital board in the years before a northern regional health authority was created. Now on the upward slope of his convalescence, Dunster is back on the campaign trail

extolling many of the same policy ideas that informed his platform three years ago, central to which being his strong desire to bring more jobs to the city. “We have to do something to retain our graduating students. I have three daughters and not one of them lives in Terrace,” said Dunster. The former accountant for forestry com-

IT DIDN’T take Craig Lyons long to decide Terrace was where he wanted to live. An Ontario native working in the vehicle auction business in that province, Lyons had already established a working relationship with the local Mazda dealership. One thing led to another through a telephone conversation one day and “five days later I was on a plane to Terrace,” recalls Lyons, 53, who has lived here now for two years. “I really see the potential for the area and for the town. With the right people in place we can really move forward,” he says. “When I look around, I just want to be part of it.” Lyons, who now works for National Car Rentals, sees parallels here with what has happened in Niagara-OnThe-Lake, Ontario, the city in which he was living right before moving here. “It was really about how to keep the people without [having them] leave,” said Lyons of the situation back East. He credited the establishment of Niagara College, a post secondary institution, with helping set up a stable economic base in the

Niagara region. “What that did was bring in other businesses in support,” says Lyons. “There’s even an industrial park. Success brings other success.” Ironically, adds Lyons, the success of Niagara College’s culinary arts program meant that its most successful graduates were quickly taken away by restaurants and hotels across North America, meaning the area was losing some of its most capable young people. Seeing how diversification helped the Niagara area, Lyons wants that to be at the forefront of city planning here. While he favours growth, specifically infrastructure which will lead to development, Lyons says it’s important to do it right. “You just don’t want to take away that smalltown atmosphere but you want to be strategically placed as the area grows,” said Lyons. What he would like to see is a well-planned downtown that’s welcoming to pedestrians and has night time lighting. And he’s also an advocate for a diversification of the population. “Through my involvement with Skeena

panies, Dunster points to the $100,000 in grant revenue generated by the city-owned Terrace Community Forest as proof that the forestry industry has potential. He also said that with robust cedar growing in the area there would be a great opportunity to build outdoor furniture. This would require encouraging CN Rail to create a cargo bay where products could be put directly onto trains, he said. For this reason he favours the development of the western part of Keith Ave. into a loading zone for manufactured products. “You cannot load and unload freight cars in Terrace,” said Dunster. “How do you send manufactured goods out? You truck them to Prince Rupert or you truck them to Prince George. Then you have to handle them again

Diversity,” said Lyons of the local social services agency, “I see a lot of diversification starting to happen here – people of differing ethnic backgrounds. Diversification of population is its own economic generator.” Lyons was nominated by Bruno Belanger and Chayo Moses Nyawello.

onto the rail car. How can you compete?” Dunster said that instead of people leaving the north to go south that the south should come north. “We should be pressuring the B.C. government to move some of their offices out of Vancouver and Victoria into smaller communities like Terrace,” he said. “We don’t need towers twenty-one stories high in Vancouver full of government employees when we could have ten floors in Smithers and ten floors in Terrace.” He is skeptical that the hype around industrial development in the northwest may prove to be just that. “There isn’t going to be a major project happen in the next 15 years,” he said. “I’m not sure that plant’s going ahead,” he added, in reference to the deal for an alfalfa

KSM Project: A Fall Update

Set up for the Open House in Gingolx

It has been a busy fall for Seabridge Gold, the company proposing to build the KSM Project, a copper-gold-silver-molybdenum mine located 65 kilometers northwest of Stewart, BC. From spending time in local communities, to receiving several important permits, to a successful exploration session at camp, the highlights of our fall are detailed in this article. Connecting with the Community This fall offered the Seabridge team a chance to connect with the community, provide an update on the KSM Project and answer questions from the public. The Seabridge team, which contained experts on fisheries, water quality, wildlife and tailings dams, participated in 10 open houses across the northwest. Over a two week period, we met with community members in Iskut, Dease Lake, Telegraph Creek, Gitlaxt’aamiks, Gitwinksihlkw, Laxgalts’ap, Gingolx, New Hazelton and Terrace. The meetings were hosted by Environment Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. We talked to individuals (and the occasional school group) about the KSM Project, and the high standards to which it will be built. “We had great conversations with locals who were interested in learning about the benefits, and risks, of an operating mine in northwest BC,” says Elizabeth Miller, Seabridge Gold’s Environmental Manager. “Residents had questions on fish and fish habitat, wildlife populations, air quality and water quality. And there were many questions about jobs, specifically where the 1,800 construction workers and 1,040 full time staff would be hired from.” Tailings Dams Understandably, a question that was also asked in the communities was how Seabridge is going to ensure the safety of the tailings dam at KSM, once constructed. Seabridge is committed to the safe construction, operation, and closure of the KSM project and have

A few group members on the water treatment plant tour

taken several steps to ensure this commitment is kept. • The tailing facility and dams have been designed by an internationally recognized engineering firm Klohn Crippen Berger Ltd. • The tailings facility at KSM is contained within a naturally confining valley, and will be operated as a discharge facility. • For the recently completed environmental assessment review, an independent review of the tailings design had been conducted by Iain Bruce of BGC Engineering Inc. to make certain the facility design is both safe and robust. • Seabridge is currently assembling an independent panel of experts to fully review the tailing dam design throughout the construction, operation and closure. “As always, the open houses were a positive experience. It has been great to meet and talk with people from so many different parts of the northwest to be able to answer questions face to face. We look forward to the next time we are hold community sessions. But we welcome questions anytime,” Elizabeth adds. Construction Permits In late September, the KSM project received early-stage construction permits from the Province of British Columbia. The permits issued include: 1. Authority to construct and use roadways near Coulter Creek and Treaty Creek; 2. Rights-of-way for the proposed MitchellTreaty tunnels connecting project facilities; 3. Permits for constructing and operating numerous camps required to support construction activities; and 4. Permits authorizing early-stage construction activities at the mine site and tailings management facility. Receiving these construction permits affirms the value of early and extensive consultation.

The permits would not have been possible without the important contributions of the Nisga’a Nation and First Nations. The Provincial Government, too, has supported the KSM Project and we are grateful for the diligence of the officials from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations, the Ministry of the Environment, and the Ministry of Energy and Mines. Environmental Assessment Certificate Conditions Seabridge has also been working closely with regulators and Treaty and First Nations to achieve several EA conditions, as illustrated by a recent tour at a water treatment plant with members of the Gitanyow First Nation, Nisga’a Treaty Nation and Tahltan First Nation and regulators from BC Ministry of Energy and Mines, Ministry of Environment and Environment Canada. Another Successful Exploration Session at KSM Camp The Seabridge camp has now closed for the winter after being operated over a 5 month time period. The exploration program drilled approximately 30,000m and the early indications are that this year’s program successfully added to resources. We look forward to seeing everybody back when the exploration camp reopens in spring 2015. Next Steps After receiving provincial approval on July 30, 2014, Seabridge is now focused on obtaining the Federal approval, and the remaining approximately 100 additional operating permits, strategic partnerships and project financing prior to commencing construction. Answers to the questions asked by residents and more information about the project are available at www.ksmproject.com.

But McCallumMiller takes exception to such an assessment as she makes a first bid for Terrace city council, touting herself as the voice of youth and change in Terrace and area, and noting her experience goes back to when she was head of student council at her high school, Parkside Secondary. McCallum-Miller has already won a seat as director for Area C, the rural area north of Terrace stretching down to Lakelse Lake and beyond, on the Regional District of KitimatStikine board, winning it through acclamation because she was the only candidate. Born and raised in Terrace, McCallumMiller keeps busy with her work as artist and dispatcher for Kalum Kabs. She is also the youth representative of the Metis Society, board member of Terrace Healthy Communities committee, sits on the city’s youth advisory committee and was part of the 24-Hour Community Centre Board where she helped in 2011 to organize a hunger awareness campaign to support hungry youth. “We are stricken with poverty,” she said of her main drive to be a city councillor. “Seeing it change and worsen for people here made me really want to change things. I have grown up in this town, I have been part of the change happening in the community.” As an artist, she says she promises to brings a creative flare to her public role and has many ideas about promoting alternative energy projects. However she says she is firmly rooted in the material world with strong interest in public works. She admits to having a “knack for plumbing”, and enjoyed her time learning about water pressure and water mains when she volunteered with the regional district. “Water filtration has always interested me,” she said. The candidate said

she will focus on both promoting more affordable housing but also making sure that current housing in Terrace is safe. After recent fires in housing on the south side, McCallum-Miller said safety would be a priority. “I want to make sure there are fire extinguishers, that there are fire escapes,

that every home is made safe and secure and of course affordable and sustainable housing. “I’m not saying I know everything, but I am willing to learn, and to be part of the change that is happening.” McCallum-Miller was nominated by William Jay Griffiths and Carol-Ann Margaret Schmidt.

Business vote promoted

Jessica McCallumMiller

THE BC Chamber of Commerce is calling on candidates to voice their views on bringing back the business vote. “Many taxpaying business owners in B.C. don’t live in the same town as their business – meaning they don’t get a vote,” said John Winter, president and CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce. The local chamber is a member. “These businesses have no voice in any election or referendum process that will directly impact their

business,” he said. Up until 1993, B.C.’s businesses had a business or “corporate” vote, meaning that they could vote in municipal elections. Winter noted that there’s precedent for giving a vote to non-resident business owners. Currently, residential property taxpayers have the right to vote in both the municipality where they reside as well as in another municipality where they own property as a non-resident owner.

City council candidate has deep roots here TERRACE CITY council candidate Allan McIntyre has some of the deepest roots in the area of those seeking municipal office this election. They go back to his great-grandfather, missionary J.B. McCullagh, who lived and worked in the Nass Valley in the late 1800s and early 1990s. And his grandmother operated a restaurant in the Nass Valley for years. McIntyre, 43 and born in Terrace, himself lived in the Nass for 13 years when his father was stationed there as a fisheries officer. “I went to school there and from that know some of the [Nisga’a] leaders of today. And hopefully those relationships will come in handy as we move forward with First Nations as our neighbours,” said McIntyre. Now an independent construction contractor and safety officer

Allan McIntyre on proposed pipeline projects and other developments, McIntyre worked at the Skeena Cellulose sawmill here when it went into bankruptcy protection and eventually closed in the early part of the last decade. “A lot of families were disrupted and a lot of people had to leave,” he recalls. It was that experience which makes McIntyre cautious about the improving econom-

Focused on business TERRACE CITY council hopeful Lucy Praught says she will bring a fresh approach to city council’s dealings with industry if elected. Her education and work background lies in business, as she holds diploma in business from Northwest Community College and an MBA from the University of Northern British Columbia obtained in 2013. She also owned and operated a bike shop in Terrace for five years called Out Spoke’n – that was between 2005 and 2010 – and currently owns a consulting business Called Spirit Strategies. Praught is 35 and moved to Canada from California when she was 11 with her parents who were missionaries in the Terrace area. Her father is now a wellknown veterinarian working in Thornhill. Praught sees industry as potentially solving social problems and thinks the current council could do more to draw value from dealings with the big

ic climate of today. “We need to be choosy about who we do business with. That’s not to say we’re closed to business, but we should be careful,” McIntyre states. He favours the city encouraging the development of local trades training, particularly among the young First Nations population, to reduce the dependence on temporary foreign workers should major developments being promoted in the region take hold. “They are future taxpayers and contributors to the culture of our city,” said McIntyre of the area’s youth. He feels taxpayers are generally satisfied with the general direction the current city council is taking the city. “I know there’s an issue about spending money on the Co-op lands,” McIntyre said about the city’s contin-

ued financial commitment to obtain environmental clearance so the property can be sold. “But it’s not going to get done otherwise.” And although McIntyre has heard complaints about the city’s new recycling program, he believes it will grow on residents and he favours expanding it. McIntyre was nominated by Carol Fielding and Ernest Froese.

Advanced voting starts Nov. 5 TERRACE residents who won’t be in town for the general voting day on Nov. 15 still have an opportunity to cast their ballots. That’s because two advance voting days are being held, with the first being on Nov. 5 and the second one on Nov. 12. On both days, voting begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 8 p.m. upstairs at the Terrace Sportsplex. There are also special voting opportunities for those in hospital or at care facilities. These take place on Nov. 14 at Mills Memorial Hospital, at The

Willows residential complex and at McConnell Estates and Terraceview Lodge. The general voting day is Saturday, Nov. 15 and this takes place upstairs at the Terrace Sportsplex beginning at

a signature proving residency and identity. Picture ID is not required. To vote, a person must be 18 or older on voting day, be a resident of B.C. for at least six months preceding the day of registration and

be a resident of the City of Terrace for at least six months preceding the day of registration. Qualifying non-resident property owners are also eligible to vote by filling out a form at the time of registration.

Focus on business “As we look at services like Kermode Friendship that are in our community, what are their needs?” she said. Praught said that as someone who rents housing she knows firsthand the challenges facing housing in the north. “I myself rent, and I myself feel vulnerable. If I were to be renovicted I would have to think about where I am going to live,” she said. “We’re talking a staggering number of people,” she said of the thousands who would come if LNG facilities and pipelines get built. Praught played a lead role in arranging a trip for 100 northwest secondary school students to a provinciallysponsored LNG conference in Vancouver earlier this year. She said she did it to empower students about making the right educational choices now to secure local careers in the future. Praught’s foray into consulting started with a one-year job at Enbridge as one of its northwest community liaisons in its bid to build the Northern Gateway pipeline. “Enbridge was such a small portion of my life,” she said, adding that her work with companies that might not be universally accepted “don’t reflect on me.” She now works for EllisDon, a major Canadian construction services company. Praught was nominated by Heimke Haldane and Bert Husband.

The Day God Took You Home A million times Iâ€™ve needed you A million times Iâ€™ve cried, If love alone Could have saved you you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, No one else can ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, But you didnâ€™t go alone Part of me went with you, The day God took you home. Love Always, Jackie, Jocelyn, Braiden & Ashton

Thanks

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Preceptor Gamma Omicron chapter of Beta Sigma Phi, Save on Foods, Ideal Office Solutions, Canadian Tire, and all the wonderful individual volunteers who are invaluable community partners in the annual B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive. This is an annual event in many British Columbia communities, spearheaded by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and supported by caring community groups and individuals with the sole aim of providing food and other necessities for those in need. As reported earlier, this year we were able to collect 500 pounds of food for the Terrace Churchesâ€™ Food Bank, and we are looking forward to surpassing that amount next fall. Again, thank you to all our community sponsors, and indeed to our generous community as a whole. Terrace is an openhearted and wonderful city in which to live.

Heli Gerdei

March 26, 1949 - Oct. 18, 2014

Heli past away in her sleep Saturday morning at home. Heli was born in Brisbane, Australia to George & Thelma Martin. Heli grew up on south Molle Island at the Barrier Reef. She loved traveling and ended up in Vancouver, B.C., where she met in 1973 her husband Gus. We were married in Terrace in 1976 where we ran a Restaurant & Pub. Heli was the love of my life and will be sorely missed by me, her friends and acquaintances.

Kings get physical IT WAS a particularly scrappy matchup between the Terrace River Kings and the Smithers Steelheads in Smithers two weekends ago, a game that ended with 10 game misconducts – five a piece – and the Steelheads breaking the River Kings’ win streak. Smithers took the game 5-3, putting the Kings at 3-1 for the 2014/2015 CIHL season. “In my opinion Smithers came out to fight in retaliation for their resounding defeat by us the week before,” said River Kings general manager Ray Hallock last week, referencing the Oct. 4 game that saw the Kings come away with a 9-4 win. “Five fighting penalties for Smithers and Terrace and five game misconducts a couple at least in the last 10 minutes of the game which carry automatic one game suspensions or seven days whichever comes first,” he said. “In our case we got lucky since we have next weekend off the seven days will pass and my guys will not have to sit out a game.” The River Kings face Kitimat this Friday in Terrace.

Olympic inspiration for Terrace swimmers TERRACE SWIMMERS learned valuable lessons about life in and out of the pool during this month’s Swim BC regional camp in Kitimat. Seven Terrace Bluebacks attended the camp, after eight qualified last year – one is recovering from a broken arm. “It was a great way to kick off our season,” said coach Mike Christensen via email last week. One of the highlights was “the incredible opportunity of having 2007 World Champion and 2012 Olympic Medalist Brent Hayden assisting throughout the weekend. He is not only one of the great champions of Canadian swimming, but demonstrated amazing ability as a communicator and coach. His stories of perseverance and determination had the kids mesmerized.” That’s true for Bluebacks Mackenzie Bannister and Bella Lang, both 11, speaking during swim practice Oct. 21.

POLAND - It was a silver (that’s srebrny in Polish) medal for Terrace’s Allan Heinricks as part of Team Canada at the first ever World Disabled and Deaf Armwrestling Championship in Puck, Poland earlier this month. He travelled to the competition Oct. 7 to 12 with his companion Tania Dostalek. But it wasn’t all about the medals. “I also became a member of the first Congress the World Armwrestling Federation for Disabled,” he said. Each country has one vote, and resolutions voted on and passed include voting to have drug testing, with a list of banned drugs to be published, he said. “It is also my responsibility to enlist disabled and deaf individuals into this great sport of armwrestling,” said Heinricks.

Terrace Bluebacks take away Olympic-sized life lessons “He told us since he’s not swimming anymore, that he’s retired, he has other stuff to keep him busy. He’s making a children’s’ book and he’s in a company with the United States for a granola bar,” said Lang. “He was in a commercial for Powerade,” said Bannister. The two were inspired by a story Hayden recounted about his gold-medal win. “When he got his medal, his gold medal, his grandpa was dying at the time and he went to see his grandpa for the last time and said ‘I’m going to win a medal for you,’” said Lang. “And then he won his gold medal.” Bannister, who has been competitively swimming for twoand-a-half years, said she got to spend some one-on-one time with Hayden on the first day because an ear infection meant she couldn’t swim. During that session, her first with an Olympic medalist, he helped her with her butterfly technique, telling her to bend her arms a little bit more, something she said has helped her time already. “He really helped me with my fly,” she said. Hayden “had a good sense of humour” and was easy to be around, she said. Lang added that he helped the group with their dives and free-

hat steelhead are the least abundant species of Pacific salmon has been well known to fisheries scientists for almost as long as the creatures have been studied, but accurate estimates of steelhead populations in most of this province’s rivers wasn’t available until the late 1970s. When the censuses were complete it was clear that steelhead numbers were far lower than had previously been thought. This realization precipitated a management crisis in what was then known as the Fish and Wildlife Branch of the Ministry of the Environment. The fisheries managers had several options, each of which was certain to be viewed unfavourably by a significant segment of the sport fishing community: all steelhead fishing could be closed; hatcheries programs could be instituted with a view to augmenting wild runs with hatchery fish; drastically reduced bag limits could be put in effect; gear restrictions could be implemented; and, catch and release fisheries could be encouraged and/or imposed by fiat. Suspicions about the efficacy of hatchery programs fostered by troubling experiences in Washington State and Oregon, the cost of artificial enhancement, as well as the resolute opposition to hatchery technology by the Steelhead Society of BC dampened the managerial appetite for wide spread adoption of such programs. Reduced limits were established province wide. Bait bans were imposed on the majority of B.C.’s rivers, and non-retention regulations for steelhead became commonplace.

“When we went through, [the cameraman] would rewind it so we’d be able to see ourselves and what we needed to improve on and then one of the other coaches would help us.” It wasn’t just the Olympic experience that the swimmers

took away from the weekend – both said the local and provincial coaches also held helpful training sessions. “The provincial coach really helped us,” said Lang. “Our coaches too,” said Bannister.

Setting them free

THE TERRACE Off-Road Cycling Association (TORCA) is encouraging everyone who enjoys riding Terrace’s trail network to give the trails a break following this month’s extra heavy rainfall. “Some trails, especially fresh/ new or trails with lots of clay or organics on the surface get damaged when ridden during wet weather,” said TORCA’s Tyler Wilkes. “Last week there were rivers running down most of the trails, and skidding tires down only compounds the problem.” “Instead it’s a great time to go for a hike with a shovel or a rake and clear drains, drain mud holes, and clear debris and leaves,” he said. And TORCA’s Tara Irwin said there are plans to have a community raking and clean-up day soon, likely focused on the Terrace Mountain trail, but taking in the nearly-completed Steinhoe Ridge trail if the group has enough volunteers. The group is also conducting a survey for anyone who uses the network – cyclists, dog walkers, hikers, runners, etc. – to help TORCA and similar groups plan for the next five years. The survey can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey. com/s/FDDHNXG For more information on how to get involved with Terrace’s bike community, the Bicycling in Terrace Facebook group is a fine way to start.

dle fish. The steelhead they caught were quickly brought to shore. They were kept in water as much as possible and handled with wet hands before careful release. In contrast, I have watched anglers with clearly no knowledge of proper fish handling play fish to the point of exhaustion before dragging them onto the beach then hoisting them aloft a number of times for a photo op. I’m sure these characters believe that their quarry will survive as they watch it swim away, but having had a few float past me dead after a manhandling over the years, I don’t share their confidence. Even if a steelhead that has suffered this kind of abuse survives, there is a growing body of knowledge that indicates that there are sub-lethal effects to an animal that has experienced such trauma, notably its ability to spawn successfully. There is really no way of determining the spawning success of the aforementioned steelhead that endured the rigours of radio telemetry. All this points to the need for even more draconian regulations for non-retention fisheries. There needs to be a stricter definition of what constitutes a fly, one that excludes trailing hooks. A regulation that prohibits the removal of fish from the water, as Washington State has done, is vital. Limits on how many steelhead can be caught then released is necessary. My personal self imposed limit is two fish, and it’s more than enough. And, importantly, all this must be accompanied by written educational material with links to demonstration videos on proper fish handling.

I followed closely like an eager salesman, telling him about the car’s finer standard features, its fuel economy (8.7/5.4 L/100kms city/highway), its ability to hit 100 klicks in 7.5 seconds. Maybe that last fact was a bit insensitive, given the nature of the beast before me. He remained silent throughout. ‘What is a donkey doing among all of these horses,’ I thought aloud. He turned, gave me a withering look before shambling away and replied: “Technically, they are ponies – short horses – and having a short ass like me around makes them feel superior.” Smart ass. Price Range: $35,900- $58,300. You can find out more about the car at bmw.ca and the horses – sorry, ponies at newforestnpa.gov.uk

Cute-ute continues charm assault on Canadians

It’s hard to remember a time when we didn’t have the RAV4 in Canada. Toyota helped develop the “cute-ute” vehicles from Japan, along with the Honda CR-V. We had never seen anything like these vehicles before but they went on to forever change the marketplace and the way a family gets around. Today the compact SUV market has become so popular it will soon exceed the compact car in terms of overall sales, which has been, for decades, the cornerstone of the Canadian marketplace. The Toyota RAV4 continues to be a sales market leader and for good reason. Many buyers put their money into what I call “The Bank of Toyota” and know they will get a good return in terms of reliability, practicality and resale value.

Looks In terms of design, Toyota wanted to make this latest RAV4 more of an emotional purchase and not just a rational choice. The design has been sharpened with more flow from the front bumper and headlamps into a swept windshield and added character lines. Gone is the old swing-out tailgate, replaced by a proper lift gate, which is now framed with protruding tail lamps that look unique but also help with aerodynamics. One area that could use an update are the cheap looking hubcaps. These come standard on the $24,005 base front wheel drive (FWD) LE trim level and $26,270 AWD model. To get proper looking alloy wheels the buyer needs to spend $28,340 for the XLE FWD or $30,540 for the XLE AWD. In the mid-sized

The dash face is now covered with soft materials and looks much better thanks to the French stitching but this same panel also obscures the switches hidden below.

Terrace mayor envisions Thornhill amalgamation A ‘yes’ vote was needed in both communities for the referendum to be successful. “There is still a lot of folks who would still say that Thornhill should do what it wants but I worry about that to a certain degree,” Pernarowski continued. “Because like I said we have to look at the bigger picture. There are so many companies coming into this region and so much need for residential and commercial land, we could really work strongly together by getting infrastructure into Thornhill so we can attract types of industry.” “Let’s join forces. We can be a superpower in the Northwest,” he said. While pushing for a new form of amalgamation, Pernarowski said he would now leave fruitful debate to the municipal election now underway. Pernarowski, first elected in 2008 and reelected in 2011, announced this spring he wouldn’t run again.

technology and a slick, new continuously variable transmission. Not the case with the Toyota RAV4, it uses the same 176hp 2.5L 4-cylinder found in the last model and is matched to a 6-speed automatic. Launching from a traffic light is brisk and the noise inside the cabin is fairly low. The steering is easy to maneuver but some might find the feedback to be too vague. Adjustable engine and transmission settings help the RAV4 to either use less fuel or perform better. The Eco button changes the settings of the car to improve fuel economy plus there is a small Eco light that reminds the driver when the car is being driven most efficiently. The Sport buttons holds the transmission a little longer between shifts for more responsiveness. Fuel economy is rated at 10.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, using the new more stringent 2015 fuel economy test. The RAV4 was a solid leader on the fuel economy front but the new Honda CR-V now claims that crown.

ZACK SPENCER

Verdict Toyota is often criticized for not being bold enough in some of the choices it makes. Honda now has up-to-date technology in the new CR-V but Toyota is sticking with what works. This approach might be viewed as a step behind but other might look at it as tried-and-true technology that is reliable and still delivers solid fuel ratings. Toyota RAV4 was a pioneer in the small SUV space and continues to be a market leader but now the market is so crowded with entries I suspect it will need to get new engine technology when it is totally refreshed in a few years. My time with the RAV4 LE confirmed that Toyota knows how to make a thoroughly practical and easy to use vehicle that pleases all passengers. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 2.5L 4-cylinder with 176hp Economy: 10.5L/8.2L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $24,005-$33,350

She asked for her vote to be noted in the minutes and then walked out afterward. Curbside collection is set to start Nov. 17 and information guides, including a list of acceptable recyclables, collection routes and schedules, will be sent to property owners. Workshops to explain the how-tos of the service and to help residents prepare for the collections will be scheduled. Two neighbourhoods that are part of the service area but are not included in the service yet will continue to be assessed. Those two areas are Kitselas, which is east of North Sparks St. in Terrace, and will be difficult to service based on topography of the area; and the west side of Usk. Alternatives will be assessed. In addition, there are a few individual properties included in the service that will require further assessment to confirm the logistics of collection.

Urs Gasser thanked the board for acknowledging the email his wife had sent, in which she expressed her concern about the safety aspects of the collection with the school bus being around and people riding horses. He asked for clarification about when garbage collection and recycling collection would take place. Regional district official Roger Tooms answered, saying garbage collection would be every week and recycling collection every second week. Allan Friberg said he was going to speak to the board’s “unacceptable conduct” in the last couple of meetings but said that the board had changed this time and was listening to the people. Board chair and Terrace representative Bruce Bidgood said it was his job to keep things in order and apologized publicly about how things got out of hand at previous meetings.
