Millions offered to First Nations for pipelines
ANNA KILLEN PHOTO
■■ Homemade goods GISELE LINDSTROM browses at the Mills Memorial Hospital Auxillary annual craft sale on Saturday, Nov. 29, the two-day sale featured homemade crafts and treats for a good cause.
FIRST NATIONS stand to earn millions from having natural gas pipelines cross over their traditional territories from northeastern gas fields to liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants on the coast. So far the province is offering $10 million per year for each of four natural gas pipeline routes now being planned to be divided up among applicable First Nations once those pipelines are in operation. It’s also offering signing bonuses and pipeline construction milestone payments to those same First Nations. Speaking last week, provincial natural gas development minister Rich Coleman said the provincial money is intended as one way for First Nations to benefit from what could be a significant industrial base for decades. “The First Nations side is coming along very well,” said Coleman of the provincial monetary package being offered as part of the province’s overall LNG strategy. The Nisga’a Nation, using its 2000 land claims agreement with the federal and provincial governments as a foundation, has already signed onto one route – Prince Rupert Gas
Transmission owned by TransCanada Pipelines, a 900 km 48-inch pipeline to feed PacificNorthwest LNG, a facility Malyasian-owned Petronas wants to build on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert. The Nisga’a are to receive $1.014 million right away and $5.07 million divided into two equal instalments – one when construction of the pipeline has begun and the second when the first gas starts to flow. These payments are in addition to a separate benefits agreement the Nisga’a Nation has signed with TransCanada and separate to any tax revenues the Nisga’a would receive from the pipeline as it crosses through Nisga’a Lands. Provincial information indicates the same basic package of a signing bonus and construction milestone payments as accepted by the Nisga’a is being offered to each and every First Nation along the four pipeline routes now being planned. Coleman did stress that other than the signing bonuses being offered, no money will be paid out until the province starts receiving taxation revenue from LNG developments.

City road project delayed THE CITY’S flagship roads project for the 2014 season has been delayed until the spring first because of rains this fall and now because of frost, says director of public works Rob Schibli. The $1,923,000 project to redo the water mains, drainage surface and subsurface of a 840-metre stretch of Graham Ave., the southside’s southernmost traffic artery, from Eby Street to Kalum Street, won’t completed until some time in the spring. “We have ceased works on the reconstruction for the season, and we’ll start back up in the spring as soon as the air and ground temperatures permit,” said Schibli. Until the repaving gets done in the spring the road will be gravel and dirt and residents were notified that they can address concerns and get updates on the progress of the project by phoning the city,
which would then work on solutions with the contractor for the project, Bear Creek Contracting. Bear Creek has recently done some levelling of the gravel and dirt in response to concerns over potholes, and will continue to make minor repairs and do upkeep over the course of the winter. The cause for the delay is being blamed on the rainy spell that happened earlier this fall followed by frost, said Schibli. “It was marginally behind schedule in early September when the rain hit,” he added. There are three weeks of paving work remaining and he does not expect the project to go over budget. Part of the spring work will be extending the sidewalk. “There is an extension of the sidewalk which will now extend all the way to Kalum,” Schibli said.

Talstra named Freeman JACK TALSTRA, Terrace’s longest ever serving mayor, has been given the status of Freeman of the City. Only three other Terrace residents have received the symbolic key to the city since it officially became a municipality in 1969, and with his now in hand, Talstra joins Bill McRae, Vesta Douglas and Emil Haugland as bearer of that rare title. Current Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski, who officiated at a brief ceremony in city council chambers Nov. 24, presented a key to Talstra’s wife, Hilda, because the former mayor’s poor health prevented him from attending. “The Freeman of the City is an honour bestowed by a municipality upon a valued member of the community,” said Pernarowski at the ceremony. “It comes from the medieval practice of granting respected citizens freedom from serfdom.” Today the privilege is largely symbolic, though one concrete gesture granted to a freeman is that they are placed first on the voters list. Talstra first served as an alderman from 1976 to 1981 and then as mayor from 1985 to 2008. Talstra was born in Holland in 1946 and came to Canada as
a young boy with his family, settling first in the northwest in Telkwa and then in Houston before coming to Terrace in 1953. The family ran a farm in what is now the horseshoe residential area. One of Talstra’s local school years was spent as a student of Vesta Douglas, who was to become a Freeman herself. Following graduation, Talstra attended a college in the United States, returning to the University of British Columbia when he obtained his law degree. Returning to Terrace, Talstra first articled and then established his own firm in 1976. Pernarowski spoke of Talstra’s “unparalleled ability to liaise with political figures from all areas both provincially and federally,” and called Talstra’s more than two decades long stint as mayor “impressive indeed.” Former city chief administrative officer Ron Poole spoke of the imagination and energy of the former mayor. Talstra’s son Daniel spoke as well, along with daughter Amanda. Daniel described city leadership as a ‘V’ of birds where the leaders go to the front and then are protected by other leaders who take their place at the tip of the V as time advances.

Out & About Nisga’a given taxing powers
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
■■ Park view AERIAL VIEW of the Skeena Industrial Development Park south of the airport owned by the City of Terrace and the Kitselas First Nations provides a glimpse of what’s taking shape. Shown here is some of the work being undertaken to establish a camp to provide housing for workers in anticipation of a natural gas pipeline to feed one of two planned liquefied natural gas plants at Kitimat. That’s Hwy 37 on the right side of the photo.
Chamber gala recognizes local business excellence THE 15TH Annual Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards unfolded with much glitz and glamour at the Best Western Inn Nov. 22. From their tables on the leopard print carpet the 185 attendees watched 14 trophies presented by various business sponsors to Terrace’s top businesses, employees, volunteers and newsmaker. There were three finalists in each category selected by judges and then voted on by members of the public. The chamber received nearly 1,000 voting submissions leading to the final award winners. The following are the winners in each category: Welcoming & Inclusive Workplaces Award: Cafenara Tourism Excellence Award: Farmer’s Market Association Home-Based Business Award: Cracked
THE NISGA’A Lisims Government will soon have the same kind of taxing authority as other governments now that the provincial legislature has passed needed legislation. The legislation, which was passed Nov. 27, builds on an agreement signed in July and fulfils expectations which date back to when the Nisga’a signed a land claims and government agreement with the federal and provincial governments in 2000. When fully in place, the Nisga’a will be able to tax Nisga’a citizens and others, including industrial projects such as natural gas pipelines and other facilities located on Nisga’a Lands. A hurdle for a portion of the route for one planned natural gas pipeline, the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project, was also removed today when a bill was passed to take a 63.5 hectare section of land out of the Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park. That’s so the pipeline can travel along a 12 kilometre corridor alongside the Nisga’a Hwy in the Nass Valley. The corridor was earlier identified as the best route available out of a number of options studied. In addition to this 12 kilometre section, the pipeline will travel through 85 kilometres of Nisga’a Lands, part of a route that’s 900 kilometres in total from northeastern B.C. to a planned liquefied natural gas plant at Prince Rupert. “Our treaty has paved the way for these agreements and the potential for achieving sustainable prosperity for our people. Today, we move forward as partners with the province and industry in B.C.’s LNG economy, and as a nation well positioned to benefit from employment, economic growth and investment emerging from LNG development in northern B.C.,” said Nisga’a Lisims Government president Mitchell Stevens.

ALTAGAS SAYS the second of what will be three run-of-river hydro-electric projects north of here is producing power. The Volcano Creek project along the Iskut River, rated at 16 megawatts, had its powerhouse and high voltage switchyard completed this month and is now delivering power to the provincial grid through BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line. “We are pleased to announce the safe commissioning of Volcano Creek two years ahead of schedule and on budget,” AltaGas CEO David Cornhill said last week. The company, based in Calgary, expects final project commercial operations to be achieved by the end of the year. AltaGas’ first run-of-river project along the Iskut River to go into production was the much larger Forrest Kerr project of 195 megawatts. That site began producing power and running it through the Northwest Transmission Line this summer and was officially certified in October. A third run-of-river project, McLymont Creek at 66 megawatts, is under construction with a completion date scheduled for mid-2015. BC Hydro is buying the power from all three projects under a 60-year deal it has with AltaGas. Taken together, the three projects have a combined cost of $1 billion. AltaGas built its own transmission line from its three projects to a substation at Bob Quinn on Hwy37 North where power then flows into the Northwest Transmission Line.

Winter tire checking went well LOCAL MOTORISTS appear to be taking winter driving more seriously, indicate the results of two highway checkstops conducted late last month. “Results were very good with very high compliance and indeed significant numbers with not only winterrated tires but also studs,” said Peter Lansdowne of Nechako Northcoast, the company which has the provincial road maintenance contract for the area. Checks were done of vehicles for two-hour periods Nov. 22 at Onion Lake between Terrace and Kitimat and east of Terrace on Hwy16 near Gossen Creek. At the Onion Lake stop, 157 vehicles had winter tires, 31 had mud and snow rated tires and just one vehicle still had summer tires. At the Gossen Creek stop, 96 motorists had winter tires, 31 had mud and snow rated tires and no one had just summer tires. Just this year, the provincial government began accepting mud and snow rated tires as sufficient to be considered winter tires. “We are very apprecia-
tive of the preparations undertaken by motorists to be ready for winter,” said Lansdowne. The number of vehicles equipped with winter-rated tires has been increasing over the years. Nechako Northcoast employees, the provincial transportation ministry employees, provincial commercial motor vehicle inspectors and RCMP officers took part in the vehicle checks. The expanded definition by the provincial government to include tires marked “M and S” for mud and snow followed a technical review conducted earlier this year. Previously it had only recognized the tires with the snowflake symbol, or tires equipped with chains, as appropriate for some highways in B.C. and drivers without those specific tires or using chains could face fines. But beginning this winter season, and resulting from a technical safety and speed review, the provincial transportation ministry says it will now accept tires bearing the ‘M and S’ symbol as winter tires as

outlined in provincial legislation. “Advances in tire technology have resulted in various tires having the characteristics to meet the winter tire definition,” the review indicated earlier this year. “A review of the current [winter tire] definition found that both mud and snow and mountain/snowflake rated tires are captured by the existing legislation but not ex-
plicitly stated,” it continued. Still, snowflake symbol tires generally must provide traction of at least 10 per cent greater than a standard mud and snow tire to carry the snowflake symbol and be softer and pliable in temperatures of less than 7 degrees Celsius and have more traction on ice. And regardless of the symbol, winter tires must be in good condition.

First Nations facing gas dollar deadlines “What these are are back-end loaded agreements,” said Coleman. “As the revenue comes in, that’s what we’ll then share.” At last count, there are more than 20 First Nations, for example, who have traditional territory along the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission route. Citing confidentiality of ongoing negotiations with First Nations, provincial government officials would not release how much money each of the First Nations would receive for construction payments. But if the Nisga’a are to receive $6 million for the 83 kilometres of the 900 kilometre pipeline which would pass through their core lands, the overall dollar amount would be substantial. The other three pipeline projects to which payments would apply to northern First Nations are the Westcoast Connector corridor of two 48-inch pipelines Spectra Energy wants to build to feed a BG Group LNG plant called Prince Rupert LNG on Ridley Island, the CoastalGas Link pipeline for the Canada LNG project at Kitimat and the Pacific Trail Pipeline project for another LNG plant at Kitimat called Kitimat LNG. First Nations who wish to receive a signing bonus must sign a benefits agreement by June 30, 2015 or risk losing their eligibility, says the province. “[But] they would still be eligible for construc-
www.terracestandard.com A5
tion milestone payments,” adds the provincial information. June 30, 2015 is also a key date to decide on how to divide up the $10 million being offered in annual payments for each of the pipelines which go into service. For now the province is leaving that up to the First Nations. “However, if no agreement can be made between eligible First Nations by June 30, 2015, the province will decide on allocation,” reads the provincial background information. The provincial information did not explain how it exactly reached the $10 million annual benefit amount. “Some First Nations expressed concern that the province had come up with its own allocation of benefits and that the allocation chosen by the province didn’t meeting their expectations,” the provincial information package continued. “The $10 million in annual ongoing benefits per proposed natural gas pipeline project was reached following further discussions with eligible First Nations.” The money for the Pacific Trail Pipeline project is to be handled not as a direct payment to First Nations. Instead it is being funneled through an existing partnership made up of 15 First Nations along that pipeline route and it is up to the partnership to decide how the money will be divided.
“This means that they have to have adequate tread (no less than 3.5 mm) and no bald spots or abnormal wear,” said Constable Philip Crack of the RCMP’s West Pacific Region Traffic Services section which patrols northwest highways. Along with an expanded winter tire definition, the province has also reduced the time period winter tires should be on vehicles.
The old period was from October 1 to April 30 and it is now October 1 to March 31. A public opinion poll also published by the transportation shows that 69 per cent of survey respondents said they change their tires when the cold snap hits with 63 per cent of those who do switch tires preferring ones with the mountain/snowflake symbol.
Pipelines, LNG plant get green light TWO NATURAL gas pipeline projects that would cross through northern B.C. and a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant that would use the gas from one of them have received provincial environmental approval. The two pipeline projects are the 48-inch Prince Rupert Gas Transmission line and the Westcoast Connector, a corridor that could contain two 48-inch pipelines, and both would go through the Nass Valley before entering the ocean and continuing underwater south to Prince Rupert. The LNG plant to receive provincial approval is Pacific NorthWest to be located on Lelu Isalnd and would be fed by the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission line. Each of the projects still requires federal environmental approval and all three would require an array of provincial and other permits. The Westcoast Connector is meant for a second LNG plant to be placed on Ridley Island near Prince Rupert and called Prince Rupert LNG but its developer, BG
Canada, has placed the project on hold for awhile but is continuing development work. PacificNorthwest LNG developer Petronas, owned by the Malaysian government, has yet to make a final investment decision but that could come within months. The Westcoast Connector is a project of an energy company called Spectra while TransCanada Pipelines owns the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project. Both pipeline projects would start in the northeastern B.C. gas fields and both be approximately 900 kilometres long. All three projects come with environmental protection and other conditions which must be followed. One project, the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission line, has already received the approval of the Nisga’a Nation which is to receive financial and other benefits both from the developer and the provincial government through its construction period and subsequent operation.

EDITORIAL
Location TWO recent moves by the Haisla and the Nisga’a prove the mantra of the real estate business – location, location, location – to be true once again. For the Haisla it’s the purchase from the Kitimat-Stikine regional district of the MK Bay Marina with the expectation of improvements and placing it on a solid business footing. Key here is ending what had been an unsatisfactory hodge-podge of informal property use agreements between the Haisla, the regional district and Rio Tinto Alcan for marina operations. For their part, the Nisga’a have carved out financial and other benefits from both the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission natural gas pipeline project from owner TransCanada Pipelines and from the provincial government for the portion of the line which would cross over Nisga’a Lands. An important provision in the above is an option for the Nisga’a to use a portion of the pipeline’s capacity to attract an LNG partner. It’s still early days but what is happening here is the provision of the building blocks for wealth creation based on sound business practices, which is the only way for First Nations to rise up and become equal partners in the overall economy. Geographic location has blessed both the Haisla and the Nisga’a with economic opportunity. As they prosper, so will we all. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Dance first, then eat later
oluntarily eating for one week on a $21 welfare allowance, though uncomfortable, is a far cry from the reality of being forced by financial circumstances to face the everyday grind of an inadequate food budget week after week with no relief in sight. This I learned at age 24 when I naively signed up for an enjoy-now, pay-later deal simple math would have convinced me was foolhardy. I could not afford it. I was working in a New York City hospital 40 hours a week for a weekly salary of $84, a respectable secretary’s income at that time. All winter I had attended night courses every Monday and Wednesday evening with plenty of homework sandwiched between work and classes. My only physical exercise consisted of a 30 minute walk to work each morning. When May arrived and classes suspended until September, I saw an opportunity to flex a few leg muscles. An ad in the daily paper for Dale Dance Studio showed the silhouette of an elegant couple like Fred

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing in evening dress. Impulsively, I signed up for a 10-month course of ballroom dancing. What possessed me to select ballroom dancing is something I’ve never been able to explain satisfactorily even to myself. The surest gauge of my fear and folly has to be my memory loss of that signing moment. Beyond the fact the course cost $900 with $90 monthly payments, I recall only an office person asking, “Are you sure you can handle the cost of the course and the size of the monthly payments?”
Without hesitation, I signed on the dotted line. And so began months of evening practising by myself of the cha cha, the dance craze of that summer, to the beat of an LP spinning on my record player. The dance studio on Broadway was hangar-sized with a hardwood floor and mirror walls. A few wooden chairs offered minimal seating. Students paid to dance, and that’s what we did, in the arms of young instructors with ramrod spines wearing suits so fitted by comparison Howard Wolowitz’s attire is roomy. The studio offered degrees of classes, from bronze beginner level up through silver and gold to platinum. Platinum students tended to be elderly ladies who took the lessons year after year more for companionship and the occasional school party. Carrying a bag lunch was routine for myself and the 12 women I worked with and that didn’t change. We took our coffee breaks in the hospital tea room where a coffee was probably 10 cents, and augmented our lunches in the cafeteria with

an iced tea or slice of iced cantaloupe. On paydays, three of us would go to the nearby bank to cash our cheques then order lunch at a diner next door. My choice was always franks and beans; it was my comfort food. I’ve never been much of a cook. My tastes range to fresh produce, veggies such as carrot sticks, apples, or other fruit. For my solitary suppers, I liked to fry a quarter pound of ground beef and have that topped with either ketchup or Libby’s mustard along with bread and a salad. When I signed up with Dale, I failed to comprehend how those course payments would sap my weekly food budget, little by little, like ticks on a deer. Payments whittled my budget until things got so dire one week my fridge held only carrots and mustard. That I remember clearly. Even I could see my situation wasn’t sustainable. I refinanced my lessons to lower monthly payments. Dale’s lessons didn’t make me a great dancer, but they did teach me to save first and always pay cash.

The Mail Bag Speeders courting disaster
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
RIO TINTO Alcan’s Kitimat smelter modernization project is nearing the final stages of construction.
No matter what, it’s just bad Dear Sir: It’s time to take a much closer look at what may be coming up the valley to us from Kitimat. In his book “40 Years on the Yukon Telegraph,” Guy Lawrence relates how, after the war, it was a battle to
I
keep the telegraph line up near Stewart because of chemical fumes from a nearby copper smelter. The line was constantly corroding and all vegetation was withered, resulting in hundreds of dead trees falling on the line.
Picture that and then fast forward to the present. Understandably there is more environmental controls in effect for corporations today, but what about the cumulative impact of the proposed sulphur dioxide (SO2) increase from the alumi-
num smelter, the plan for multiple LNG refineries, the possibility of an oil refinery, and a new study that shows oil and gas emissions can create high ozone pollution in rural areas.
Cont’d Page A8
Dear Sir: I don’t understand why we have to wait for someone to get killed before something is done about the way some people drive between Terrace and Kitimat. The driving habits of some during the morning and evening commutes are nothing short of Russian roulette. Some people now call this commute the Terrace-Kitimat 500. Passing at very high speeds on double lines and around blind corners appears to be the norm for some of these drivers. And it is only a matter of time before someone is killed. As so often happens, it may be an innocent person that dies. During the morning and evening commutes, there just has to be some police presence on this road. What is going on at present will result in tragedy for some family. Brian Mould, Terrace, B.C.

Much has been done and still much to do
spent some time during the last weeks of my term as mayor of Terrace reflecting on the past six years. Looking through my paperwork, I found the municipal election campaign literature I put together from 2008. It was interesting to review my platform statements from six years ago. The message I was sharing was about taking a new approach, looking at new ideas, and creating policy that would stimulate the economy. I asked you to “vote for change.” In 2008, my list of platform items was headed up with “build new infrastructure right away to attract business, industry and investment to our community.” We were successful in lobbying for the Northwest Transmission Line. This determined grass roots effort will now bring clean energy to northern communities and open up opportunities for economic growth. My next platform points were to “revitalize our downtown” and “sell the Co-op property.” Both were accomplished. With the sale of this prime downtown real estate, we will
now see jobs created, taxes generated, and a brand new building constructed. I then listed “fix our roads and build new sidewalks” as the next platform point. We managed a few years of accelerated road resurfacing with some creative financing. Much more work needs to be done on city roads and sidewalks. The next platform item relates to brownfield sites throughout the city. I stated, “clean up brownfield sites to stimulate new construction, new jobs, and new revenue for the city and create a more beautiful, vibrant community.” Brownfield remediation remains a challenging file and needs ongoing work from the new mayor and council. Next was an important point that said, “respond to the affordable housing needs in Terrace.” Over the years we’ve created a housing task force, produced a housing needs assessment report, and spent considerable time attracting real estate investors to the city. I also suggested we “work closely with social services professionals to address issues like
GUEST COMMENT
Dave Pernarowski alcoholism, drug abuse, and crime and youth problems.” Introducing a downtown RCMP street patrol brought an immediate improvement to the heart of our city, however, more work needs to be done overall to address these serious problems. My next platform point was “to introduce city wide, curb-side recycling with a processing facility in Terrace.” Getting curbside recycling was a huge move forward for Terrace. I listed another platform point
to “create a Terrace Community Foundation and benefit the community for generations to come.” We now have a foundation that has had a very successful first year in operation. As this foundation fund grows, so will its ability to support community organizations and projects and will truly leave a lasting legacy for the City of Terrace. I went on to suggest we “create a Greater Terrace with amalgamation to draw new investment opportunities and new lobbying power.” This is still an important conversation six years later. A thorough study on incorporation and amalgamation will help us determine the best path forward. I also suggested we “focus on healthy lifestyles and a green community,” and look for ways to “build a new community centre.” I also promoted the concept of building a “fully accessible pedestrian walkway and bike overpass” at Kalum Street to connect the south side with our downtown. I believe we should continue to pursue these ideas. My final platform point stated, “inject a new sense of community
pride and optimism in Terrace.” Winning national competitions, hosting prestigious sporting events and mining conferences, and working together to find creative solutions to diversify our economy all helped us meet and exceed this goal. Terrace is extremely well positioned for incredible growth and unimagined economic diversity. We should continue to build on these opportunities while always staying focused on how these changes will impact our environment. It’s a balance we can accomplish with great success. The past six years serving this community as mayor has been so rewarding. Thank you for your trust and confidence in me. I promised change. More change is on the way. Let’s make sure we continue to work together as a community to wisely take advantage of the exciting opportunities at our doorstep. After two three-year terms, Dave Pernarowski decided not to run again for mayor of Terrace. His replacement, Carol Leclerc, was sworn in Dec. 1.

Emissions seen as harmful to human health Exposure to SO2, a colourless gas that smells like burnt matches, can exacerbate symptoms of asthma and chronic lung or heart disease. It is particularly dangerous for children, penetrating deeply into lung tissue and damaging it. It also damages trees and crops. SO2, along with nitrogen oxides (NOx) released from LNG plants, are the main precursors of acid rain, damaging the ecology of lakes and streams, and corroding buildings. Both contribute to climate change. Oil refineries, besides emitting high levels of SO2 and NOx, expose people to the carcinogen benzene, linked to leukemia, breast cancer and birth defects. Petroleum coke, classified as a “byproduct” of bitumen oil processing, is a dust loaded with heavy metals and emits more CO2 than coal when burned. Oil hydrocarbons are known carcinogens and linked to adverse birth outcomes and infant asthma.
If hydrofluoric acid is used as a catalyst in gasoline production in refineries, its accidental release would subject people to immediate lung damage and penetration of the skin causing deep tissue damage and possibly death. A recent study (Dr. Cora Young et al) shows that pollution from pipeline leaks and storage tanks venting into the atmosphere can concentrate over snow in mountain basins, and sunlight reflecting on the snow can drive ground-level ozone production. Ozone is a lung damaging pollutant found in smog. Winter ozone can exceed national air quality standards and rival those seen in congested cities like L.A. So it seems we have a choice: Plan A – prevent industry from turning our airshed into a toxic soup or Plan B – invest in designer pollution masks and make sure our MSP is paid up.

Miners receive injunction RED CHRIS mine owner Imperial Metals has been granted an injunction preventing a Tahltan group known as the Klabona Keepers from blocking access to the property north on Hwy37 North near Iskut. The injunction, granted by Mr. Justice Robert Punnett of the B.C. Supreme Court Nov. 26 following a two-day hearing, prevents the activist group from blocking access to the mine until another claim against the Klabona Keepers is resolved in which Imperial Metals is seeking damages. The injunction means that an enforcement order can be sought by the RCMP if access to the Red Chris gold and copper mine is impeded by the protesters. Imperial is also seeking the repayment of the cost for the court filings from the Klabona Keepers, who will have a chance to respond in writing to the claim before the judge decides if they have to pay. As well, Imperial is also seeking damages for the disruption caused to construction at the mine which is scheduled to open soon. The Klabona Keepers have mounted two blockades this year, the second in early fall which prompted Imperial to first ask for and receive a temporary in-

junction pending last week’s hearing here in Terrace. The Klabona Keepers said their blockades were in response to the Mt. Polley tailings pond spill and worries it might also happen at Red Chris. According to Klabona Keepers legal advocate Anushka Nagji, who along with Tahltan member Oscar Dennis was one of two named defendants speaking to the court during the two-day Terrace hearing, the outcome was not a surprise.
“Injunctions like this get granted all the time by B.C. courts, and specifically get granted against aboriginal rights and title,” she said. Nagji said that her attempt to invoke the Tsilhqot’in Supreme Court of Canada decision this summer, which strengthened native title, as precedent wasn’t effective in this type of case, though the final reasons for the justice’s decision won’t be released until later. “I imagine the reasons and tests for whether an injunction
is granted or not are very narrow legal tests and narrow issues, and generally judges can’t consider the Tsilhqot’in ruling or rights and title issues, or say they can’t anyway, in injunction cases,” said Nagji. In the meantime, the Tahltan Central Council, which originally had filed a statement as part of the injunction hearing that only it could speak for the Tahltan people, withdrew that claim. Instead it scheduled meetings last week with
the Iskut Band Council, one of two Tahltan village governments, to further discuss leadership issues revolving around the Red Chris mine. Nagji said the ruling is not the end of the debate surrounding the acceptance of the mine with the Tahltan community. Dennis said he thought the Klabona Keepers are defending the environment for all British Columbians but that the ruling will limit that role.

THE CAST of Beauty and the Beast is getting ready for its annual musical, which this year is Beauty and the Beast.
Cal drama invites you to be their guest CALEDONIA PERFORMING arts students tell a fairy tale a little bit lighter, a bit darker and with an additional song than the Disney movie of the same name in Beauty and the Beast. Costumes transform the students into the characters such as the Beast, Mrs. Potts, Chip, Lumiere, Cogsworth and even spoons, forks and knives.
Chantel Snyder is Belle, a young girl bored with her humdrum life, who ends up choosing to go to the beast’s castle in place of her father despite the beast’s anger. The Beast is Brandon Krumm, in a costume expected to be the last one to be finished and with makeup that takes about 45 minutes to apply. Zach Pflum is Gaston, who thinks Belle
Girl learns about helping others A LITTLE girl is learning about helping others here and overseas. Sydney Kirby, 7, decided she wanted to raise $100 for two charities and posted an ad on her mom, Connie Kirby’s, Facebook page. She made cookies and sold them, and doubled her goal amount of money raised, said her mom Connie. Sydney decided to give half of the money to the children’s hospital through the local Dairy Queen and the other half to the Terrace Pentecostal Assembly to disperse to a campaign for clean drinking water in Africa. “She is a seven-
year-old with the biggest heart, she always wants to help others in need,” says Connie. “I wanted Sydney to know just how important it was for her to want to help sick kids and kids in need.”

prince for his greed and selfishness after he turns away an old woman asking for shelter from the winter weather. The Beast believes no one will love him and break the curse, until he meets Belle and she never imagines falling in love with seemingly nasty beast.

Echoes recalls pioneer life Book, CDs let audiences hear from early settlers in their own words IN A follow-up to his wellreceived Voices of British Columbia, best-selling author and oral historian Robert (Lucky) Budd continues his exploration of the province’s history with captivating tales of its pioneering past, from coast to Kootenays, in Echoes of British Columbia. Based on conversations recorded by legendary CBC Radio journalist Imbert Orchard between 1959 and 1966, Echoes of British Columbia features first-hand stories from some of the province’s most remarkable and inspiring pioneers. Budd skillfully renders some of the most entertaining and astonishing accounts from the Orchard collection into entrancing prose, accompanied by a CD with the original recordings. Stories about the Terrace area include The Ties Keep on Coming with David Ross speaking about Building the Railroad from Prince Rupert
after he came over from Scotland, and at that time many young men were immigrating from Scotland. Ross talks about how land was a good price: $10 for 160 acres (65 hectares) and work was said to be abundant. He names the Grand Trunk Stations located about every six miles, including Terrace, Shames and Exstew and more. Another story from our area is I will Die if You Keep Me Here, about a man known only as “Indian Issac,” who had to make a choice whether to save his daughter’s life or a surveyor’s in winter. Based on his choice, he received medals and for being the best Catholic and was told they were valuable and could be important later in his life. And when his best intentions to help the people get along went awry, the medals impressed a judge and kept him out of jail later on. Echoes of British Columbia is available from Harbour Publishing.

She could be next Miss Teen Canada TERRACE RESIDENT Sara Pipe has been selected for the BC provincial pageant for Miss Teenage Canada. If Pipe wins the provincial pageant in January, she will move on to the national Miss Teen Canada pageant in summer 2015. She was chosen from an online interview from the more than 100 provincial applicants. “I entered the Miss Teen Canada Pageant for a great experience to gain confidence, to improve my public speaking skills and to meet new people,” said Pipe. “Pageantry gives you a window of opportunities in modeling, acting, performing and much more.”
Pageant scoring has several levels, each of which represents a percentage of the total score: personality, communication skills, stage presence, charm, academics, community commitment, beauty, fitness and confidence. “Another side benefit for me entering this contest is to put Terrace on the map,” said Pipe. “We are a small but growing community and if my participating in this contest helps us to be better known then that would be great.” Pipe’s not the first one from here to be in the Miss Teen Canada provincial pageant: in 2011, was Shantelle MacLean and 2009 saw Jessica Catorc make it in.

Mayor signs off after six years BY JOSH MASSEY MAYOR DAVE Pernarowski addressed city council for his last time as mayor at the regular council meeting Nov. 24 after six years in office, a term which saw him help steer the city from its forestry-first identity to one aimed at diversity. The mayor’s understated humour was on display as he thanked council and staff for their time and hard work. While frequently wearing his work face, the mayor’s playfulness has been on display over the past weeks. For example at his state of the city address Oct. 23 at a Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce luncheon, in response to someone’s claim that the mayor didn’t take risks, he said that in fact he had “eaten duck brain for this city.” That was a reference to the several trips he took to China to help forge the deal to sell approximately half of the
Skeena Industrial Development Park to Chinese industrial interests, trips which required him to partake in foreign cuisine. “My first thought was that I would list off all the things I have accomplished on council and then I thought that would take way too long,” Pernarowski joked as he said goodbye and ushered in the new faces to council. “But I think really at the end of the day what I wanted to do was thank a bunch of people,” he continued. “I have said before it takes an entire community working together to make things successful and help us get to where we need to be, so I will first start off by thanking council for their unbelievable amount of effort. The time commitment and dedication is much appreciated.” He then thanked the city administrative team whom he said are “really the folks who get things done.” He also congratulated the community or-

Burial fees rise BURIAL COSTS at the Terrace Municipal Cemetery are rising sharply as the city seeks to revise a bylaw which will help to better align prices with actual service costs. In a presentation to council Nov. 10, city official Carmen Didier said the price of a regular full body burial for an adult, when all items are included, will rise to $1,255 from $855. “It is a substantial increase but we have not had a fee increase for the services provided since 2007, and it was very minimal then and didn’t take in actual cost,” said Didier. For an adult the cost of a burial service alone is rising from $380 to $720 and an infant burial alone is rising from $210 to $720. The burial services for cremated remains is rising from $136 to $200 while the price for a columbarium niche – an above ground vault with compartments for cremated remains – is fixed at $750. The cost of the actual interment plots are the same but the service costs are rising, added Didier. The price of disinterment is rising from $125 an hour to $385 per hour. The installation of the memorials, which must be purchased separately, is also rising. For example the price of 30 cm by 50 cm bronze memorial WARM UP$85. YOUR will now cost $135, up from The
cost of grave liners has also risen. According to Didier, the city averages between 40-60 burials a year, 20-30 of which are full body burials. The majority of cremations are either placed in the columbarium niches or interred near the graves of loved ones. “The amendment is to increase the cemetery fees for the services that we provide which includes the interments and installations and supply material like the grave liners. The recommended fee increase does not include the cost of grave spaces,” she said. A grave space for an adult is still $300 and for an infant it is $170. For its operations up to early November the city had cemetery revenues of $30,714 and expenditures of $89,000. The fee increases will bring in a projected $12,500 more to city revenues. Councillor Bruce Bidgood asked if perhaps the price was too high now for some people to afford the funeral services but Didier assured him that provincial government aid is available in cases where parties are financially strapped. Council gave first, second and third reading Nov. 10 to the bylaw approving the fee increases as outlined WINTER by Didier. WITH THESE

He’ll pay a $5.90 fine PLEADING GUILTY to five charges will cost a man nearly $6 in fines and time on probation. Chezeray Corey Everett Wilson pleaded guilty to charges of assaulting a peace officer, breach of undertaking and breach of probation order at an earlier date and was sentenced to jail time served of 15 days and probation of one year with conditions in provincial court here Nov. 20. On June 4, 2013, a 21-year-old breached his conditions by going to the hospital, reported police at that time. He also had previously pleaded guilty to a charge of loiter and obstruct persons in a public place and a breach of his undertaking or recognizance. Wilson was also ordered to pay a fine and victim surcharge total of $5.90 by May 20, 2015. An application by prosecutors for a DNA sample to be provided to police was denied. ◆ ◆ ◆ One of two men accused of assaulting a third man who was sleeping after the trio had been drinking together has been sentenced. Esau Guno was ordered to spend 120 days in jail followed by 18 months on probation with conditions on a charge of assault causing bodily harm and a charge of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm from judge Calvin Struyk in provincial court here Oct. 21. On Oct. 19, a man with wounds on his face, including one eye that was swollen shut, showed up at the Lisims/Nass Valley RCMP detachment claiming that he had been robbed that day, said Crown prosecutor Barry Zacharias when reviewing the evidence before sentencing. He told police he’d been drinking with two men, one of whom was Esau Guno, fell asleep and woke up with Guno punching him in the face and searching his pockets for money, court heard. The man said he had $400 from mushroom picking and it was gone, court heard. He also said Guno had threatened to kill
him, court heard. The police officer who heard his words had reason to believe the two men had robbed the victim and went in search of the suspects, who were
arrested later that day, court heard. Guno will also have to abide by a two year firearms prohibition, provide a DNA sample to police and pay a vic-
tim fine surcharge of $200. Charges of assault with a weapon, theft $5,000 or under and breach of probation order were stayed by the court.

Man calls cops on himself
TERRACE RCMP responded to approximately 90 calls from 8 a.m. Nov. 25 to 8 a.m. Nov. 28. Two attempts of a man trying to get a person to falsely report to police that there was a warrant for his arrest in hopes police would arrest him and transport him back to his hometown. There was no warrant
for the man and transportation was not provided. Police observed a woman known to have a warrant for her arrest walking in a parking lot on Lakelse Ave. When approached, she fled into a motel room. The 35-year-old was arrested and held for court.

Dr. Lani Almas, a long-serving obstetrician and one of two such specialists here, is planning to close her practice by year’s end, but will stay to do hospital work and certain on-call coverage, such as emergency C-sections and assisting in the hospital emergency room, said Dr. Geoff Appleton, the Northern Health Authority’s medical director for the area. “Several GPs (general practitioners) are doing obstetrics,” said Appleton. “One has just come back from doing training for C-sections so we will have a GP that will be doing C-sections as well.” It’s more effective for patients and doctors to have a prenatal clinic, which would be run by those general practitioners, he added. “So patients may not see their own physician but everybody gets to know them and when it comes to delivery time, there is an on-call doctor so they get really good continuity of care,” said Appleton. “It makes it so that an individual’s physician is not on-call as often because it’s a group and it seems to work very well,” he said, adding a similar clinic has been set up in Fort St. John. Without the clinic, each physician is responsible for his or her own patients and therefore is on-call

for 24 hours a day, seven days each week. Any high risk or complicated pregnancies will see the remaining obstetrician, Dr. Janse van Rensburg, which has always been the case, he said. And any midwives here could be part of the clinic too, said Appleton. The idea for the clinic has been discussed for awhile but Almas’s semi-retirement brought it to the forefront and made a need for it to be organized before the end of the year, he said. Right now, the location of the clinic hasn’t been decided but is expected to be either in the Park Ave. medical clinic or at the hospital, he added. The exact number of days the clinic would be open per week hadn’t been decided and Appleton didn’t want to speak for the doctors who will be working there. He suggested that the clinic may be open for only a couple of days a week with doctors working shifts and patients would make appointments to see a doctor on those days. An on-call rotation of physicians would be established for deliveries 24/7, Appleton added.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Terminal A Extension Project
Open House and Invitation to Comment Rio Tinto Alcan (Proponent) is proposing an extension to the existing marine terminal and construction of a barge ramp, tug dock and laydown facility. The proposed Terminal A Extension Project (proposed Project) is to be located at the Port of Kitimat and within proximity to the District of Kitimat and the Haisla Nation Kitamaat Village. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for an environmental assessment certificate by the Proponent, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve the Application Information Requirements. Key to the Application Information Requirements is the identification of Valued Components to be studied and the areas within which the studies would occur. The selected Valued Components are presented in the draft Valued Components document which the Proponent has prepared and EAO invites the public to submit comments on. In order to provide information about the Valued Component selection, EAO invites the public to attend an Open House, to be held as follows: Kitimat Valley Institute 1352 Alexander Ave., Kitimat, BC on: Tuesday, December 9, 2014 from: 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
at:
There are 35 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the draft Valued Components document. The comment period will begin on December 4, 2014 and end on January 8, 2015. All comments received during this comment period in relation to the draft Valued Components document will be considered.
NOTE:
The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment. EAO accepts public comments through the following ways: • By Online Form at http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca/pcp/index.html • By Mail: Teresa Morris Project Assessment Manager Environmental Assessment Office PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9V1 • By Fax: Fax: 250-387-2208 An electronic copy of the Valued Components document will be available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca by the start of the public comment period. Copies of the Valued Components document will also be available for viewing at these locations: Rio Tinto Alcan’s Community Office 254 City Centre Mall Kitimat, BC and
Kitimat Community Library 940 Wakashan Ave. Kitimat, BC
If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application Review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to EAO on the proposed Project.
All submissions received by EAO during the comment period in relation to the proposed Project are considered public and will be posted to the EAO website.

She made sure she could always provide for her young children and family after h e r husband passed away in 1974. We were fortunate to have Dr. Iyayi and hospital staff at Mills Memorial Hospital provide such dedicated care to her over the past 4 year, especially the last 7 months. Victoria will always be remembered for her community involvement, for hosting dinners up to 600 people, as long as she had her cooks; Lori and Verna. She would also organize community fundraisers for the children’s Christmas and Halloween parties in Kitsumkalum. She was a lot of things to a lot of people, she always made sure her family was fed and made sure her pets would continue to have a roof over their head after she passed. She will forever be in our hearts and deeply missed.

Kings stamp competition THE TERRACE River Kings are back from a decisive road trip that saw them extend their win streak and hand Williams Lake their first loss of the season. Terrace, first in the CIHL’s western division, headed to Williams Lake and Lac La Hache two weekends ago to face off against the undefeated Stampeders, first in the eastern division, and the struggling Tomahawks. Both games were highscoring affairs, with the Kings taking the Stamps 9-6 on Saturday and the Tomahawks 11-6 on Sunday. Terrace goalie Devon Ames suited up for the weekend, his first two games of the season. And Terrace was in Kitimat last Friday, Nov. 28 where they extended their win streak to five, beating the Ice Demons 6-4 in a penaltyfilled game. Next up, the River Kings are back on home ice for a doubleheader. They’ll be hosting the Demons Friday, Dec. 12 and the Lac La Hache Tomahawks Saturday, Dec. 13.

Major provincial win for Centennial seniors
A SEASON of dedication by the Centennial Christian School’s Sr. Boys volleyball team led to the school’s best finish at ‘A’ provincials ever. The team returned from Abbotsford early last week with silver medals around their necks, besting their third place finish at provincials last year and making it to the tournament’s final for the first time. But they almost didn’t make it to the finals. The team was down 2-0 in the best of five semi-final match against Mount Sentinal before mounting an impressive comeback to get the win. Centennial was down 14-9 in the final set, when Lindsey Ewald “came in with some incredible serves” that turned the game around, said coach Jesiah Bartley. Ewald is one of two female players on the team this year, both of whom stood out at the tournament. The small school didn’t have enough students for a senior girls’ team, so made spots available on the boys’ team for the girls who wanted to play.
Midget reps first in PG THE TERRACE Totem Ford Midget Reps finished first in Prince George two weekends ago after getting a second chance to beat the only team able to give them a loss at the Tier 2 round robin tournament. Terrace opened up the tournament Friday, Nov. 21 with a tough 3-2 loss to the Quesnel Thunder, but they didn’t let it get to them, facing off against the hometown team later that day and taking Prince George 3-2. They wouldn’t lose a game for the rest of the tournament. Saturday saw them trounce
Williams Lake 6-2 before going up against Prince Rupert. And that game against their rivals to the west was the team’s only tie of the tournament, ending 2-2. The final day of play saw Terrace beat Smithers 2-1 before the final match against Quesnel, the team that sat at the top of the standings with Terrace and who had given them their only loss. Terrace came out swinging, and if there was any doubt of the Terrace team’s prowess, that was squashed with the 7-4 win against the Thunder, a win that gave Terrace the top spot in the tournament.

CENTENNIAL’S SENIOR volleyball team at the school’s pep rally Nov. 26. The fact that Centennial is such a small school makes the win all the more noteworthy – schools in the ‘A’ division need to have less than 80 senior students, with the majority of the schools at provincials closer to that 80 mark. But at Centennial, there are eight boys in the senior class. “For us, we let anyone who wants to play, play,” he said.
“With a small school it comes down to how dedicated they are.” The team was also young – three Grade 12s, two Grade 11s, and six Grade 10s. That not only helped with coachability – something other teams took note of – but it also sets them up for success in the future. “The next couple of years are looking very promising,” said Bartley.
TERRACE WILL, quite literally, be illuminated this Saturday when the 2015 Canada Winter Games Torch Relay comes to town. That’s because the day-long event will finish with a fireworks finale in George Little Park, beginning at 8 p.m. following the Festival of Lights, that starts at 6 p.m. The day begins at Kitsumkalum at 2 p.m. for the relay through town, going by the Sportsplex and up and down Lakelse/Lazelle before ending at the park, where there will be speeches. Live entertainment, featuring the fittingly-named band Bright City Heights will also be on hand at the park. Olympian Caleb Brousseau will
be speaking on behalf of the torchbearers at the ceremony. Other northwest torchbearers relaying in Terrace are as follows: Shirley Belisle, Anne Berrisford, Seamus Damstrom, Joe Ellis, Josh Eli Grant, Cormac Hikisch, Travis Hutchings, Nick Kollias, Jennifer Kuehne, Trevor Mack, Dominque Melanson, Yvonne Moen, Terry Monture, Helen Nikal, Jasper Nolos, Harry Nyce Sr., Elizabeth (Izzie) Patrick, Kimberly Patten, and Luke Strimbold. It’s all part of the torch’s journey thousands of kilometers across northern B.C. leading up to the 2015 Games Opening Ceremonies on February 13 in Prince George.

■ Waks win THE TERRACE Waks dominated Vancouver in the final game of the senior men’s All Native Qualifying tournament two weekends ago in Prince Rupert, winning 84-53 on Saturday. It was an especially thrilling win because the Terrace team had suffered a loss to Vancouver earlier in the tourney. Terrace beat Gitanyow to earn the right to fight for the title, and at the half-way point, had built themselves into a 48-20 lead. Scoring for the Waks was led by Lyle Dirks, who scored close to 25 points in the match, but all players held their own. With files from Prince Rupert Northern View.

hen the steelhead had slipped into the depths, Mike urged me to make my way to the head of the run and fish through it. As I made my way upstream, he hung his cowboy hat on a branch then made his way down river. While I tied a surface fly to my leader Mike waded out to the large, flat rock that protruded from the tail of the run and lay down on it so that he was facing upstream. I sent out a few casts and lengthened my line. He raised his camera and took a few preliminary shots. We had rehearsed for these opportunities. I would shout “now” as I pushed into my forward cast. At that cue, Mike would hesitate before hitting the shutter button at the precise moment in the cast when the loop of fly line was just about to unfurl over the water. He might have used his motor wind to achieve the same effect, but in that pre-digital age, film conservation was an issue. As all this was going on above the water, natural triggers were being pulled, causing aquatic insects to unhook themselves from the bottom and swim skyward. Charcoal grey mayflies appeared on the surface, then drifted a rod length as their wings dried before lift off. At the same time, little brown sedges began smashing through the surface film and flitting about. Trout fishers dream of these multiple hatches, those special, infrequent times when their quarry go on feeding fren-

Terrace takes gold, silver IN A Terrace vs. Terrace final, Caledonia’s Jr. Girls won the zone finals over Skeena Middle School in Smithers two weekends ago. “Both teams did very well in the round robin portion of the tournament defeating Bulkley Valley Christian School (Smithers), Ebenezer Christina Reformed School (Smithers) and Smithers Secondary in two straight games,” wrote Cal coach Adri MacKay in an email. “So after being ranked #1 and #2 all season the two teams met in the final – where Caledonia came out on top winning in two games,” she said. “This match-up was expected and did not disappoint as both teams played well and a high caliber of volleyball was displayed.” Mya Siemens of Caledonia and Jaycee Neid from Skeena, were chosen as tournament All-stars while Correina McNeice from Cal was chosen as the tournament Most Valuable Player.

The steelhead continued to come up and grab ephemeral bugs, not once in a while but often. I fought drag, narrowly focused on the passage of my Tom Thumb. Before long, a fish came to the scruffy pattern regally, head first then back and tail. I lifted. The rod bowed. My line pointed upstream. A silver fish leaped into the air a long cast down stream just upstream of Mike who with his motor wind on rapid fire, caught it in the air. After the disconnect, I gained control and after some tense moments wrestled the steelhead to shore. It was big fish, a male, the first of six fooled by my simple deer hair fly. Try it, I urged Mike, but he was more than content to capture my escapades on film. It’s difficult to get a picture of a steelhead in the air. Mike did that over and over again that magical afternoon. One of those shots hangs on the wall of the North Coast Angler Tackle Shop. We fished until the light faded then waded the river and began the climb back to the road, stopping at a place that afforded an eagle’s eye view of the run. We could see a dozen steelhead hovering over its bottom. Be thankful, said Mike. It might be a long time before we have another day like this one.

Cayenne goes back to the future By Zack Spencer In 2003, Porsche Cars North America shipped a number of its shiny, new, Porsche Cayenne SUVs from head office in Atlanta to drive the Sea to Sky highway here in BC. The day started with a long explanation as to why the famed sports car maker was getting into the SUV game. History often repeats and here again in 2014, Porsche shipped roughly fifty new Cayenne S and SE Hybrids to the same scenic highway. This time around there was no explanation as to why this second-generation model exists: the Cayenne currently accounts for roughly fifty present of all Porsche sales. Looks When the second generation Cayenne came out in 2011 it was a departure from the previous model. As head of design for the current Cayenne, Ingo Scheinhuette, told me: “Even though the new model was larger than the original, many people thought it looked smaller.” In an effort to make the new 2015 facelift look more
masculine, the goal was to make the Cayenne look more planted and wider. To do this, the entire front end, including the front bumper, grille, headlights, and front fenders have a more polished look. The daytime running lights have four LED marker lights that are also mimicked in the tail lamps, plus bi-xenon lamps are now standard. The front air intakes are wider and the hood looks more integrated into the design. Around the back, the rear window spoiler, hatch, bumper and exhaust tips are all new. The lights are more sculpted, the bumper has been raised and widened and the exhaust tips now pop through the lower valance. If the goal was to make the Cayenne more masculine, mission accomplished. Inside What hasn’t changed, thankfully, is the interior. Three minor changes include a three-point sports steering wheel as standard equipment across the entire Cayenne line that includes paddle shifters and heat. The other changes include standard
navigation and a slightly more sculpted rear seat. The rest of the interior is pure automotive perfection. The level of fit and finish has yet to be surpassed in this class and the logical multi-button layout looks intimidating at first but is easy to master after a few days. What Porsche has done in the industry is move the needle on what is expected in premium products. In many ways, the competition looks frumpy and rather dated, even after four years on the market, the Cayenne is still fresh. Drive With pressure on automakers to improve fuel economy and lower their carbon footprint, this latest 2015 Cayenne receives two new S models. The base S used to be fitted with a V8 engine, now a smaller 3.6L V6 with two turbocharges helps to produce an extra 20hp but saves fuel. This is the same engine that is used in the smaller Porsche Macan Turbo. Accelerating up through the mountains was a snap but the sound from the engine and interior vibration isn’t as smooth as the old V8. The
driveway second new drive system is the plug-in SEHybrid that can run on pure electric power up to 30kms before the supercharged Audi-derived 3.0L gasoline V6 kicks in. This model can run on the 95hp electric motor alone, for greatest efficiency, or the electric motor can be used for additional punch for spirited moves. The combined output is 416hp and 435 lb.-ft. of torque. This is the very first plug-in hybrid in this class of vehicle. Last year the Porsche Panamera sedan came equipped with this system and accounted for roughly 11 percent of overall sales but that was a rear wheel drive only car, this Cayenne is all wheel drive, which should appeal to more buyers. Verdict The greatest challenge for the SE-Hybrid is the already practical and thrifty diesel Cayenne that delivers nearly as much torque and fantastic economy. Nothing can compete with pure electric driving for carbon reduction but it comes at a cost. The SE-Hybrid starts at $86,800 and the Diesel starts at $71,330, which leaves
a ton of extra cash left over for those costly Porsche options. The new turbo V6 equipped Cayenne S now starts at $83,700, which poses a problem for buyers of the $82,200 Macan Turbo. Both start at roughly the same price but the Cayenne comes with boatloads more interior space, 20 more horsepower and the same Porsche crest on the hood. The smart money is on the Cayenne over the rather cramped Macan, there is actually room for the family dog in the back. More than ten years have passed since the first Sea to Sky highway Cayenne introduction and it is still the handling and performance mid-size champ. Now with more features, a sumptuous cabin and efficient power to spare. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 3.6L turbo V6 with 420hp or 416hp hybrid. Fill-up: Hybrid can run up to 30km on pure electric power. Sticker price: $33,700-$86,800
