Jack Talstra remembered THE TERRACE mayor who took the city through one of its darkest periods when a major forest industry employer closed down and who then laid the foundations for an economic turnaround has died. Jack Talstra was 68. He passed away in Mills Memorial Hospital, surrounded by family, early in the morning of Dec. 5. Talstra served as mayor from 1985 to 2008, a period of 23 years, the longest anyone has served in that capacity. That period took in an economic revival of the
city’s fortunes when a forest products company called Repap opened a new Skeena Cellulose sawmill here in 1988 but also years of instability when the company ran into financial troubles in 1997, ultimately resulting in it closing down completely early in the next decade. Without the city’s largest industrial taxpayer, Talstra and the city council of that period trimmed the city’s expenses and operations. But he also took part in a campaign to position the city as the northwest’s shopping and service centre to

Talstra also lobbied the provincial government aggressively for ownership of several thousand acres of crown land off of Hwy 37 South just south of the Northwest Regional Airport on which to locate taxpaying industries. Known first as the airport industrial lands, it’s now
known formally as the Skeena Industrial Development Park in partnership with the Kitselas First Nation, half of which has now been sold to a Chinese economic development agency. The city just last month renamed the main road into the industrial park as Jack Talstra Way. Following the complete closure of the Skeena Cellulose mill, Talstra placed the city as a finan-
to purchase the facility. That took place in the spring of 2005 but market and other conditions forced the mill’s closure again the following year and it was eventually dismantled. The city ended up with the Keith Ave. acreage on which the mill and accompanying log yard was located, making it one of the larger holders of real estate within city boundaries.

LNG holds up treaty talks By ANNA KILLEN

■■ Your torch team HERE’S THE Terrace contingent of the 2015 Canada Winter Games torch relay, which passed through town Saturday, Dec. 6 and illuminated its way from Kitsumkalum to George Little Park, the Roly McLenahan Torch in the hands of northwest notables. A regional celebration then took place in the park, as part of the annual Festival of Lights celebration. The games take place in Prince George in February of next year.
THE PROVINCE’S single-minded focus on developing a liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry is getting in the way of treaty negotiations, according to the chief negotiator for Kitselas and Kitsumkalum, two local First Nations trying to craft final agreements. “It’s taking resources that normally, I feel, would have been addressed to treaty making and they’re going into LNG requirements,” said Gerald Wesley, who is also working with the Metlakatla First Nation on treaty talks as Tsimshian chief negotiator. “It’s creating a little bit of uncertainty in all of our levels of discussion now – Kitselas and Kitsumkalum negotiations, it’s certainly a factor for Metlakatla negotiations. B.C. has clearly identified LNG as their primary objective right now … and it’s interfering, I feel, with our treaty negotiations.” Kitselas and Kitsumkalum negotiators signed off on agreements in principle (AIP) nearly two years ago in January of 2013. By the spring, both AIPs were approved by Kitselas and Kitsumkalum members, with the understanding B.C. and Canada would soon follow. Earlier this year, the province indicated it had approved the AIP and was ready for an official signing ceremony whenever the federal government was, but the federal government has not yet made an official commitment to a formal signing, with a statement from the federal aboriginal affairs ministry indicating the AIPs are still under review. “It’s been very frustrating for those two communities,” said Wesley of events so far. He said the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum had hoped the province would move on officially signing off on the AIP ahead of the federal government, putting pressure on the federal government to follow. But the provincial government backed away from that suggestion, said Wesley.

Talstra remembered as ‘a great statesperson’ Portions of the property have since been sold off and the city has now drawn up a concept plan to convert a portion of the property into a mixture of housing and commercial development. Talstra-led city councils spent years working at various plans for either a brand new multiplex or addition to the civic arena. That eventually culminated in a second sheet of ice and other improvements to the existing arena building with a grand opening taking place in November 2008. In addition to the local economy and city works, Talstra was also a strong advocate for regional governance connections. At one point, he advocated for the creation of a coalition of local municipal and aboriginal governments along the Skeena River aiming for consensus agreements on resource use and other issues. An early champion of what is now the Northwest Transmission Line, Talstra and then-city councillor Rich McDaniel travelled to Alaska in 2006 to take part in a conference exploring the idea of connecting southeast Alaska to B.C.’s energy grid.

JACK TALSTRA and then-Liberal MLA Roger Harris at local 2003 announcement that Vancouver would host the 2010 Winter Olympics. Speaking at the conference were officials from the BC Transmission Corporation, now part of BC Hydro. Talstra later commented that he had to go to Alaska to find out what a provincial crown corporation was up to. Following his election loss to Dave Pernarowski in the November 2008 municipal elections, Talstra did keep his hand in various matters. He was chair and president of the Skeena Nass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics, a Terrace-based nonprofit think-tank which explored ways of developing a regional natural resource economy not
subject to traditional boom and bust cycles. Talstra was named a Freeman of the City in a ceremony held at city hall Nov. 24, one of just four people to receive that recognition over the years. Pernarowski, who officiated at the Freeman ceremony, said “Jack Talstra showed outstanding community leadership during his long service as alderman and mayor.” Illness had prevented Talstra from attending either ceremony but he was represented at both by family members. Current Terrace mayor Carol Leclerc, first elected as a city councillor during Talstra’s years as mayor,

said the city lost a great person and leader. “He was a strategizer. He was like a chess player, always several moves ahead of where we were going. He was a great statesperson.” Of Dutch family origin, Talstra was born in 1946 in Holland. His family moved to Canada shortly thereafter, first to Houston and Telkwa before coming to Terrace in 1953 where they ran a farm in what is now known as the horseshoe residential area. After receiving a law degree from UBC and then articling in Terrace, Talstra established his own law firm, Talstra and Company. His years as mayor were preceded by a council position from 1976 to 1981. In the federal election of 1980, Talstra ran as the Liberal candidate in the Skeena riding, losing to New Democrat Jim Fulton. Talstra received a first civic honour in 2009 by being made a member of the Order of Terrace and he also received the 2012 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. He leaves wife Hilda, five children and eight grandchildren.

Former mayor praised for leadership and vision
Tributes “I WAS very saddened to learn of the passing of former Terrace mayor Jack Talstra. Terrace lost a great man, who served his hometown for 23 years. Under his watch, Terrace weathered both good and bad economic times, thanks in part to Jack’s commitment to respecting the taxpayer and finding savings. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, and everyone in the community left with heavy hearts after Jack’s passing.” CHRISTY CLARK, Premier, Province of B.C. “HE WAS a strategizer. He was like a chess player, always several moves ahead of where we were going. He was a great statesperson. Jack was a true leader whose legacy will live on for generations, He believed in Terrace and the goodness of its people, and always worked in the best interests of the community. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.” CAROL LECLERC, Mayor, City of Terrace

That’s Talstra on the left with Glenn Bennett and Mel Bevan from the Kitselas First Nation.

“HE WAS an incredibly consistent and strong advocate through the good times and bad for Terrace and had a real vision for things. I think a lot of that is being realized now, so his legacy and his impact on Terrace and the entire northwest will live on. We came from different political backgrounds but he was always incredibly cordial and a mayor in the best sense of the word where if we could do things to help his town then he was always willing to work and talk. It was a good kind of politics, always civil with a focus on what we are here to do, so I always appreciated his council and we always got along really well.” NATHAN CULLEN, Member of Parliament, Skeena Bulkley Valley “JACK TALSTRA was not only a close personal friend, he was also a colleague and an ally in the many projects we worked on together over the years. I have enormous respect for his dedication to fairness and his belief that all citizens in the area should experience progress together. His most memorable contribution to collaborative development is demonstrated in the agreement between Kitselas and the City of Terrace on the airport industrial park development. Jack Talstra will be remembered by the people of Kitselas as a friend, an ally, a supporter, and a respected leader.” MEL BEVAN, Negotiator, Kitselas First Nation “JACK TALSTRA showed outstanding community leadership during his long service as Alderman and Mayor. His commitment to the City of Terrace and the region has been unparalleled. My thoughts and prayers are with the Talstra family.” DAVE PERNAROWSKI, Former Mayor, City of Terrace “I AM deeply saddened by the death of our longtime Mayor of the City of Terrace, Jack Talstra. It is rare for anyone to dedicate over 20 years of their life to serving the community they live in, the way Jack did. He was always gracious and deferential in all his dealings, even with those whom he disagreed with. I hope that his example will help us to move to a more open and respectful dialogue in all our public discourse. Both Colleen and I would like to send our condolences to his wife Hilda and to Jack’s family at this very sad time.” ROBIN AUSTIN, MLA for Skeena

EDITORIAL
Driving NEXT time you are out and about, pay close attention to what the drivers in the other vehicles are doing. Chances are you are going to see drivers speaking on cellphones and texting – some even doing so while turning corners and changing lanes, seemingly oblivious to the world around them. It’s a dangerous habit with recent statistics indicating just under 90 people are killed each year from distracted driving not to mention rising insurance claims from rear-end collisions and the like. In addition to the standard fine of $167, the provincial government this fall announced drivers caught while using cellphones will also end up with three demerit points. Fines and demerit points are only effective as deterrents when there is vigorous enforcement on hand as a follow through and with police forces increasingly occupied as front line social workers dealing with the various outcomes of alcohol abuse and mental illness it’s difficult to find sufficient police time for a concerted distracted driving campaign. But if there is an incentive to save lives by cracking down on distracted driving there’s also a financial incentive because the province returns a portion of traffic fines to municipalities. In Terrace, that amounted to just under $100,000 last year. Boosting that total by more fines would provide even a modest benefit to the city budget. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

y extended family has included many fine cooks noted for their sumptuous holiday dinners. I was never one of them. Yet my shortcomings in the kitchen never worried me. I am content to be a kitchen dropout, ranked with Roseanne Barr and Deborah Ramone. Why else were ketchup, mustard and pickles invented if not to mask our mediocre cooking? Each renowned family cook is known for a specialty dish. Mom, an excellent all round cook whose pork chops and sour cream tarts vividly inhabit my gustatory memory bank, stood out for her Swedish rye bread baked in shallow discs each with a hole in the centre punched by a cow’s horn. As a girl in Sweden, Mom watched her mother store the cooled cakes on a broom handle run through the holes. Even today, given a choice between any dessert and a fresh wedge of Mom’s rye bread smoothed with butter, I’d reach for her bread.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI serts. As a teenager with an almost limitless appetite for between meal snacks, the difference between Aunty’s lemon meringue and Mom’s was too subtle for me to discern, though it was a chasm that haunted Mom; she never served lemon pie when Aunty visited. Recently I was struck by how much importance some women place on their status as skilled cooks and how wounded they can be when their cooking is turned aside in favour of a younger person’s. In a group counselling session attended by women of various ages up into the 80s,
the counsellor asked what additional stresses they face before holiday get-togethers such as at Christmas. Their answers show how something as simple as relinquishing major meal preparations to the younger generation leaves some grandmothers feeling slighted. “I find it hard to accept that my daughter is now preparing the Christmas dinner at her house and I’m expected to just show up and not contribute anything to the meal,” said one. Another elderly woman said, “When I go to my daughter-in-law’s for family dinners she doesn’t want my help in her kitchen. I feel useless. Sometimes I wonder if I should go out and shovel snow?” Fighting to maintain old rituals is wearing. Accepting my place in the cooking hierarchy spares me a lot of angst. Far from trying to outdo younger cooks, I willingly let them take over, while I cautiously dish out deserved compliments. If I were to be too effusive, they might misinterpret my praise as sarcasm. Family dinners with their additional courses and dishes

inevitably result in a variety of leftovers that must be refrigerated. Many of us older folk have downsized our fridges since our kids left home and set up their own households often with bigger fridges, and freezers. Besides the variety of leftovers that clog a fridge, older folk have far fewer resident munchers eager to nibble away meats or desserts. Younger folk ordinarily have more drop-in visitors; a range of leftovers is perfect for feeding impromptu company. No matter how delicious a meal might have been, I prefer not to serve myself the same menu every day for a week like the movie Groundhog Day. Adjusting from being the main cook to a pampered guest is easier to accept if you think back to past holidays when you were the main cook and hostess, on your feet for hours prepping and cooking everything. Where once you rushed to whisk the gravy and load a platter with turkey and stuffing as guests stomped snow from their feet, now you can relax and let grandchildren show you all the fun stuff Santa brought them.

The Mail Bag No need for despair
and overflow concerns in your waste containment liner. Not addressing this will result in effluent into the ground and waterways, (as has occurred at Prince Rupert’s new landfill) and is not acceptable to the public. How will this be dealt with? 2. The current proposal is cost prohibitive.
Dear Sir: Although the present provincial government had all the necessary knowledge required to prevent the Mt. Polley environmental disaster from ever happening, Imperial Metals, along with the government, avoided their adult responsibilities and consciences. In essence, their cutbacks in mine investigations also said “too bad, so sad” for the First Nations along with residents and their property values, employees, businesses, plant life, lake, creek and wild life and as always, we the taxpayers. I do not call this working “in the public interest.” I call this working “in the corporate interest.” And now the provincial government proposes to overhaul the BC Society Act and spend their time using millions of our tax dollars, looking into 27,000 B.C. registered societies who may or may not be working “in the public interest,” which is not defined. Included in the societies are environmental groups, which I have found to be working “in the public interest” to halt further climate change. It is well known, that the U.N. and climate scientists around the world deem it urgent to halt the rapid increase in fossil fuel use if this planet is to have a future which includes mankind. The amendments proposed by the provincial government to the BC Societies Act could be used to harass small groups that have very little funding and no lawyers. I see this move by the province as “working for corporate interests” and, as always, using our tax dollars. Mark Carney, once Governor of the Bank of Canada, now Governor of the Bank of England, told a group of investors, “The vast majority of fossil fuel reserves are unburnable.” He spoke of a “tragedy of horizons” which can be described by the U.S. Secretary of State in a Pentagon report as climate change having the ability to “devastate homes, land and infrastructure.”

MID-NOVEMBER PHOTO shows some of the clearing work that has started for the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine’s landfill project at Forceman Ridge, south of Lakelse Lake. This is just down the side road from Onion Lake.
Landfill project still questioned An open letter to: The chair and board, Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, Terrace, B.C. Dear Sirs: Residents Advocating for a Safe Inclusive Environment (RAfaSIE), held a meeting Nov. 13 to review the recent information presented in a
F
workshop to the regional district board and public. We have identified gaps in the new consulting and design work completed for the proposed Forceman Ridge Landfill/Thornhill Transfer Station. The information presented on Nov. 1, 2014 reveals that some of the public concerns brought forward in the past have been addressed. We thank you for responding to public
concern. However, there remain a few more issues that we would ask that your team examine in their plans to manage waste here in the Terrace area. Please consider the following, as you work towards solutions for future landfill and waste management in regional district Areas E and C: 1. The current proposal does not allow for storm water, long periods of precipitation,
When all else fails, talk about the weather
or a change of pace for this space, this column focuses on what we can expect in terms of the weather as forecast by the Old Farmer’s Almanac. Last month, Jack Frost nipped at our noses with a couple of brilliantly sunny, sub-zero spells followed by last week’s first measurable snowfall. Is that a warning of what’s to come when winter gets serious? The ancient agrarian says not really. The rest of this month is supposed to be a bit warmer than usual with about average precipitation. That translates into a back and forth between showers and flurries/light snow with a chance of real snow late in the month. The question is will it come in time to give us a white Christmas? January will be pretty average in terms of temperatures and precipitation and start out more wet than white. Cooler weather
in week two will bring enough snow to put a smile on the faces of cross-country and downhill skiers/boarders. But it then warms up, bringing a mix of snow and rain which will last the rest of the month. February will open mild and sunny but week two will see mainly rain. Expect a sharp cold snap in week three but then the clouds will move back in, again giving us a mix of white and wet for the rest of the month. Old Man Winter has one last kick at the can in March with cool temperatures prevailing and sunny weather at the beginning and end of the month bookending two weeks of rain or snow. (My spirits are lifted by the thought that, if the forecast is right, there won’t be many opportunities for the city to fill in my driveway.) It looks like Spring is going to be a bit late next year as cool temperatures continue to dominate in
GUEST COMMENT
MALCOLM BAXTER April. On the upside, we should see a fair bit of sunshine between the showers. May opens with cool, showery weather but sunny and warm conditions take hold in week two. Then it is back to cool and showery before sunny and very warm weather closes out the month –
good news for gardeners. June won’t be able to make up its mind as it alternates between cool and showery and sunny and warm. The upside is overall temperatures will be above, and precipitation below, normal. The next big question is whether, after two excellent summers, will we see the hat trick? The Old Farmer says July will open sunny and warm and temperatures will continue to climb through week two with only a few showers. It then cools off and gets damper but the final week sees a return to sunny, warm weather. Unfortunately, August will not be able to quite match that run. After a showery opening, which might put a damper on Riverboat Days, we will see sunny “nice” conditions to mid-month then it’s back to cool, showery weather and, after a few sunny days, rain to close it out. Fall arrives in September with showers and then gets wetter
through the rest of the first half. But it will brighten up and be mild for most of the rest of the month. To finish off the forecast, we are promised a not bad October after a wet start as it then alternates between sunny/cool and mild with showers. And there you have it. Now it’s time to get out my seed catalogues. Footnote: I noticed that council is thinking of banning the letting off of fireworks to just one night a year, Halloween. While I understand the logic behind the move, might I suggest they add a couple of more dates. Guy Fawkes for example – as in Remember, remember the fifth of November – an occasion marked by Brit ex-pats and Newfies. And what about New Year’s Eve? Retired Kitimat Northern Sentinel editor Malcolm Baxter now lives in Terrace.

Landfill problems Transport and double handling of product to go to the Forceman Landfill site increases labour, maintenance, fuel costs and handling costs. This overburdens the taxpayers and is not fiscally responsible. Will you consider revisiting the Thornhill site, (which is planned to remain open anyways) as the site of choice? If not, why not? 3. The current proposal does not address many large volume waste items such as house renovation material, commercial or residential building materials, demolition waste and numerous types of commercial waste. If this is not addressed, where will this go? What is the plan for this waste product? 4. The current proposal does not address furniture and ongoing large household items (like mattresses) and as such encourages illegal dumping. Where will
this go? What is the plan for this waste product? 5. The current proposal does not consider the growth of agriculture in the area and subsequent waste that will occur as a result, such as avian and bovine carcasses and potential herbicides and/or pesticides. Where do the 50,000 chickens (who yearly retire) at Daybreak farms go? If this is not addressed, where will these go? What is the plan for this waste product? 6. The current proposal does not have a solution for the disposal of medical waste or biohazard waste. If this is not addressed, where will these go? What is the plan for this waste product? 7.

large percentage of waste, we are pleased to see proposed plans to generate soil from this product, but with that in mind it would seem appropriate to initialize this plan at the outset. Why is curbside beginning without collection of organics? If this is not addressed, where will this go? 8. The current proposal will collect cardboard and paper at the transfer site and ship out. Why is cardboard and paper not shredded and added to organics to make a better blend for future soil use? Reuse of paper products is cost effective, why are we not building a value added industry locally to capture that resource? What is the plan for this waste product?

I call these warnings to be “in the public interest... Our provincial debt is $68 billion. The present provincial government will owe the LNG industry gas producers well over a billion dollars in credits by year-end while our public services continue to deteriorate. I do not call this working “in the public interest” and I am losing my patience as a taxpayer with paying the bills for the fossil fuel industry. Our federal government gives the fossil fuel industry well over $20 billion in tax exemptions yearly. The jobs are specialized, we won’t be getting them and we will be buying the jobs we do get locally through our tax money. Exactly how is this “in the public interest”? What is the next perverse move this government and the federal government will be making “in the corporate interest?” If our provincial and federal governments were not working “in the corporate interest” of the fossil fuel industries, we could be well underway with geothermal
energy. B.C. alone has 170 hot springs and according to the experts, “lots of low hanging fruit” which we could begin to develop inexpensively. Compare that with the $8 to $15 billion for site C which many experts say “we do not need.” How about jobs in retrofitting homes? How about solar and wind energy? Norway and Germany are so far ahead of us we look pathetic and they are not suffering folks!! We deserve to have our tax dollars working toward “the public interest.” Now is not the time for despair. Don’t allow yourself to be disinterested in your future. Take action, however small it may be. Find a petition to Help Save Our North Coast From Bulk Oil Tankers and sign it. Talk about it with friends and ask them to keep the jobs here in Canada. Tell them the Hecate Strait is the 4th most dangerous body of water in the world. Each act will lend a hand toward the goal of helping our families have a future. Protect the fragility of the earth. Think what is right here. And work “in the public interest,” knowing most of your fellow citizens are with you! Mary Ann Shannon, Terrace, B.C.

Showing compassion in action
A NEW not-for-profit seeks to help individuals and their families with needed finances that arise with someone gets seriously ill. Kimmunity Angels Society asks others to “show compassion with action, give to your community” with the mission “to promote quality of life for seriously ill individuals and their families by providing financial assistance for medical treatment, medical expenses and equipment or supplies.” And the money stays in the community here. Started this fall by Donna Slavik, the society is named in honour of her friend of more than 25 years, Kim Kaye, who’s battling brain cancer, and who inspired Slavik with what she’s gone through while being ill and how inspiring the community was in helping her out. Several fundraisers were organized for her and Slavik discovered that Kaye wasn’t alone with her financial troubles. “People would come up and share their stories,” said Slavik. “I was really astounded that it’s not uncommon. That’s where I came up with the idea of let’s start a society and here we are.” When you’re in Vancouver or Kelowna for six weeks of medical treatment, it’s pretty hard on the bank account when you’re not working, have no benefits and you’re living off what you have, she added. If people need money for a flight, can’t pay their rent, need a wheelchair or whatever their need is, that’s what the money will be used for, she said.

Plenty of extra donations prompt special food bank day MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO
DONNA SLAVIK, right, and Stacey Szepat are president and vice-president of the new notfor-profit Kimmunity Angels Society. To kick off the fundraising, the society has organized a scavenger hunt that’s not a typical one. “I’ll give you a hint: one of the clues is to find a uniformed RCMP officer and sing a Christmas carol [to that officer],” said Slavik. “Just fun things like that, and stuff to make you laugh and have fun.” It’s for everyone: families and groups of friends who want to put together a team with a maximum of five people or individuals who want to scavenge on their own, and hopefully will become an annual event, she added. Future fundraisers include comedian Ian Bagg, who was here last year, returning for a show and a Valentine’s masquerade ball. And as for the society’s namesake, Kim Kaye, Slavik says she’s doing well. “She’s got a good outlook and is appreciating and enjoying every day she’s got,” she said. For more details on Kimmunity Angels Society’s Santa’s Scavenger Hunt, see Fundraiser under City Scene on page 11.

Several young people are expected to come in to help prepare the extra bags of food to give out . The food bank has had extra food on hand before but never stacked so high against the wall, said president John Wiebenga. And as an extra bonus, clients will not be interviewed that day

Terrace Standard  Wednesday, December 10, 2014
I
have just returned from Opposite-Land, on the other side of the world, where the gravity is reversed and everyone walks on their hands with their feet sticking up in the air. Okay, that part is not true. What is true is that in OL they drive on the wrong side of the road. Because they ALL do this, it works out fine. Plus, their cars have steering wheels on the passenger side, so that makes it easier for them. Just remember, while in Opposite-Land, look RIGHT, not left, before stepping out on the curb or your North American accent will sound like this: “It’s okay, dear, all clear – AAAAAIIIGGGHHH! (thump, tinkle, crash).� They also keep their moon in the wrong place. It is way high up overhead, hard to see from a hotel balcony, while ours is, reasonably, in the southeastern skies, easy to see from my front porch. Wearers of glasses, four-eyed types, know that in Regular Land, when you walk into a warm store or house or school from the cold outdoors, your lenses may fog up. In OL, you walk out of an air-conditioned mall or hotel into the outdoors (which is 27 – 35 degrees every day) and your lenses may fog up. Did you know, in the city-state of Singapore, there are no jobs for weather broadcasters? The weather is the same every day, “High of 27 to 35, and it might rain, so bring your umbrella.� That’s it, 365 days a year. Actually, as a proud north-coaster, I feel disdain towards umbrellas. But in OL I started carrying an umbrella – to keep the sun
W H AT ?
CHARLYNN TOEWS
Opposite-Land off. That’s right, fellow Terracites, in OL you carry a umbrella in case it does not rain. Last summer, right here in River City, we suffered (or enjoyed) many days and even weeks of clear hot weather. But we knew it would cool off when the sun went down, and the next day would start cool in the morning. In OL, the source of heat, the Mighty Sun, disappears (every day at 7 pm) and yet, it does NOT get cooler. Sunny and hot, then dark and still hot. And first thing in the morning, when the sun re-appears (every day at 7 am) it is the hottest it will be. It might cool down at 4 or 5 pm for an hour or two with a gentle breeze. That’s what you get for living on the equator, people! A soft, cool wind at cocktail hour beside the pool.
Here in our fair city we might sit at a table on a cool evening and enjoy a patio heater warming the throngs. In OL, the throngs (and they throng well over there!) are cooled by giant gaspers. Okay, so in a small plane holding 37 to 50 people, while you are waiting to take off to go to/from Vancouver or anywhere, and they don’t have all the aircraft’s systems going, you can reach up from your seat and turn on a reading light or call the flight attendant or turn the gasper on for cold air right in your face. Our cool-air gaspers are about an inch across and are found on aircraft, one per seat. Their cool-air gaspers are a foot across and aligned in 3 X 3 patterns in open-air markets and town squares. On Hallowe’en, hubby and I went to Clark’s Quay, as did other middleaged tourists, families with small children in strollers, teenagers wearing tiny flashing lights, 20-somethings riding one-wheeled skateboards, and the rest of the population. We thronged to a central point where a band was playing and I stopped as soon as the gaspers hit me. What to wear on Hallowe’en in Singapore? A witch’s hat or devil horns – it is far too hot to be a Storm Trooper or The Hulk. Finally, when we here have signs showing drivers to go around a barrier, we have Y-shaped pointy-up arrows, to drive UP this way left or UP this way right. In OL, the same road sign advises drivers to go DOWN this way left or DOWN this way right. Oh – it might have to do with that gravity thing.

ART ERASMUS, one of two Terrace trustees sworn in to the Coast Mountains school board speaks to those assembled at the Dec. 2 swearing in ceremony.
School trustees sworn in for four-year term A ROOM full of familiar faces attended the swearing in ceremony for the 2014-2018 board of Coast Mountains School District trustees Dec. 2. And the majority of the school trustees faces were also familiar, as four of the seven trustees were returning. Art Erasmus, school board chair during the last term, and Roger Leclerc, the vice chair during the last term, were sworn in as Terrace trustees, with Gary Turner sworn in as Thornhill’s representative. All three were returned by acclamation as trustees in the fall. Raymond Raj was sworn in as one of two Kitimat representatives, returning after his election victory in November. Margaret Warcup, the second Kitimat trustee to win a seat and a new face to the board, was also sworn in. She replaces Linda Campbell, who was on hand at the ceremony and received a farewell gift and bouquet from the district, presented by Erasmus, who gave a short speech about how Campbell came on as trustee during a crucial time

Angela Brand Danuser of Stewart was sworn in, she was elected by acclamation and replaces Shannon McFee, who sent her regrets but could not attend the ceremony. Secretary treasurer Alanna Cameron acted as moderator for the swearing in, following a short introduction by school superintendent Katherine McIntosh. District officials, including mayor Carol Leclerc who is the district’s trades coordinator, were also on hand for the ceremony and reception that followed. School trustees held an inaugural meeting Dec. 8 to choose a chair, vice chair and committee assignments. A regular meeting follows on Dec. 17.
EVEN BEFORE rents began to climb and the number of places to rent declined because of the busier regional economy, low-income earning tenants here faced problems, according to a new rental housing index website produced by a provincial non-profit housing agency The website, which includes an interactive map showing rental data for each community and rankings based on a number of factors, is based on 2011 census data. It shows that at that time, shelter costs were already consuming much of what low-income earners took in. According to the website, 63 per cent of renter households earning less than $18,163 spend more than half of their income on rent and utilities, and in order for those households to make their current rental situation affordable (so that they’re paying 30 per cent of before-tax income on shelter costs, the agreed upon ‘affordability’ standard) would need an average of $12,836 more per year to make their current situation affordable. James Roy from the BC Non-Profit Housing Association (BCNPHA) acknowledged that the statistics are several years old, and therefore do not show an up-to-date picture of the challenges facing renters here right now. But they do provide a benchmark for future study. “We know that the north, especial-
ly the northwest, has entered the crisis relatively recently, so this wouldn’t even show the full dimension of it,” said Roy. “You have problems with rental housing (in the published index) but I think it’s gotten much worse than 2011 – that’s what we’ve been hearing on the ground from our providers up there.” The rental housing index puts Terrace in the same range as Kitimat and Prince Rupert, with all three northwest communities ranked in the ‘poor’ category – communities can be ranked as satisfactory, moderate, poor, severe, or critical. “I’m very interested to see how Terrace, Kitimat, and Rupert will fare in 2016,” said Roy, referring to the next census and when new data will be available. “This is what it was like before ... one snapshot in time almost three-and-a-half years ago.” At that time, according to the index, average rent for a one bedroom unit was $570. A two-bedroom rental cost an average of $654 and a three-bedroom rental cost an average of $837 a month. BCNPHA has said that the entire province is facing an “affordability crisis” and the northwest is no exception. “A big, big factor in this is income,” said Roy, noting full-time minimum-wage employees make around $20,000 a year and one quarter of Terrace renter families make around $18,000 or less – a full 25 per cent. “A lot of this is poverty driving this.”

LNG holding up progress on local treaties The province noted it had other issues and wanted all three parties to be ready at the same time, he added. Meanwhile, LNG negotiations between the province and First Nations with or without treaties have further complicated discussions, in part because the province’s resources are spread thinner than before, indicated Wesley. “Their plate is probably pretty full in that regard,” said Wesley, who also noted that Kitselas and Kitsumkalum have asked that LNG negotiations and treaty negotiations stay separate. For its part, the province believes “treaty negotiations with Kitselas and Kitsumkalum are proceeding at a reasonable pace” and “remains committed to advancing treaty negotiations with Kitselas and Kitsumkalum in partnership with Canada,” read a statement from aboriginal affairs minister John Rustad. Rustad said that treaty negotiations with both are occurring separate from LNG negotiations, and that both streams of negotiations are “rooted in the common goal of reconciliation.” Yet another factor impacting Kitselas and Kitsumkalum treaty negotiations is the overlapping land claims issues the Gitxsan First Nation pushed in August, and have since been negotiating with the province. “From our side, we continue to work and address overlap or boundary issues with Canada and B.C., at some point we anticipate there’s going to be need for meetings with the Gitxsan and from both communities to see if we can come to any favourable solution,” said Wesley. “LNG is a factor as far as some of the demands,” he said. “As we understand it, other First Nations are making and using our treaty settlement lands or our AIP agreement as a tool against government.” The ministry of aboriginal affairs and reconciliation said that “specifics from treaty negotiation tables remains confidential” but that there is “potential
for the land package to change” as parties proceed toward a final agreement. In an emailed statement, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern De-
velopment Canada said “the formal approval process is occurring” and “public information and consultation with First Nations asserting overlapping claims and
third parties will continue throughout the process.” The agreements are under review and the federal government will sign “once the three
parties agree to do so.” “Federal reviews of the agreements are an important part of Canada’s due diligence in arriving at constitutionally protected agreements
that will stand the test of time. A precautionary approach to concluding Agreements in Principle is in the best interests of all parties ... The federal review
involves other federal departments and is an important interim step in ensuring Agreements in Principle that meets the best interests of all Canadians.”

Cougar kills dog
A MAN escaped a cougar attack but lost his dog to the big cat at Lakelse Lake two weekends ago. “He had been walking [the chocolate Lab] in the picnic site there along the beach,” said conservation officer Gareth Scrivner of Brad Woollacott and Bonnie. “He turned around and saw four feet behind his dog, a full-sized cougar pretty much tailing them the whole way. He got pretty much halfway back to his vehicle and he couldn’t scare it off and it wasn’t really showing any signs of fear. It took down his dog right in front of him, a full grown 10-year-old Lab.” Scrivner subsequently found the cougar feeding on the dog and put the big cat down. The cougar was a full grown male, about four or five-years-old, very healthy, at 130 pounds, almost seven feet long from the tip of its tail to the nose. It hadn’t fed for a while so there was very little in its stomach, he said. A cougar normally hunts deer and mountain goats.

A NATIONAL charity has added a number of northwestern B.C. schools, including three from Terrace and Thornhill, to a list of those offering breakfast programs financed directly by corporations. Rio Tinto Alcan had been paying for breakfasts at six northwestern schools and is now extending that to five more schools through a $250,000 three-year commitment. And $100,000 from TransCanada Pipelines for four northwestern schools over three years means both corporations will feed an estimated 1,000 students a year through the Breakfast Club of Canada. Rio Tinto Alcan's two local schools are Skeena Middle School and Cassie Hall Elementary while Thornhill Primary is the local TransCanada breakfast school. Representatives from the charity and the two companies were in town this week at the schools, helping school employees serve up breakfasts. Money not only buys food but equipment such as toasters, grills and dishes and, for Thornhill Primary, a dishwasher. Representatives from both Rio Tinto Alcan and TransCanada Pipelines, which has been chosen to build two natural gas pipelines across the north, one to a planned LNG plant at Kitimat and one to another one in Prince Rupert, said it was important for the companies to be involved in
communities in which they are active. Sandra Dube, the First Nations support worker at Skeena Mid-
dle School who singlehandedly runs the program, says between 30 and 40 students a day have a breakfast consist-
ing of either French toast or pancakes, yogurt, cereal, fruit and juice.

Breakfast clubs receive big donation “I've been here seven years and at the start there was fruit roll-ups and fruit cups. We've been really making an effort to make it more nutritious,” she said. Skeena principal Phil Barron estimated the breakfast program is used by approximately eight per cent of the school's 580 students. Last year the breakfast program cost approximately $7,000, a figure he expects will rise this year because of inflation as well as increased demand. “There's a social aspect to this as well. Having students eat together sets a tone. We want a positive school climate and this starts off the morning well,” said Barron. The school also draws on money from the provincial government through the school district and profits from canteen sales and gym rentals to finance breakfast as well as lunches. The Thornhill Primary breakfast program is expected to feed 30 students a day at an annual cost of $10,000 and principal Darlene BraggHounsell said that number could rise depending upon the day. It'll be the first time there is a breakfast program at Thornhill Primary which had been offering muffins and other goods at snack time paid for by the province through the
school district. “There is no stigma attached,” said Bragg-Hounsell. “This is for any student. What we really want to do here is promote good nutrition.” Ben Neumer, one of the Breakfast Club of Canada representatives in Terrace this week, said the charity acts as an efficient way for corporations to finance breakfast programs because it has an established system in place. “Our goal is to really help students so they can have their first class on a full stomach,” he said. Qualifying schools are chosen for their community's level of economic activity. “Schools apply and we look at the communities of highest need,” said Neumer. Corporations such as Rio Tinto Alcan and TransCanada can also direct their money toward specific schools. In the northwest, the schools financed through Rio Tinto Alcan are located in Vanderhoof, Southbank (which is on the south side of Francois Lake south of Burns Lake), Burns Lake, Fort St. James, Granisle, Houston and Terrace. Schools in Port Edward, Thornhill, Vanderhoof and Prince George have breakfast programs through the TransCanada Pipelines contribution.

Mine managers move in THE COMPANY which wants to build a molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast is moving senior managers into place as it anticipates receiving the majority of its financing from an international banking consortium. Avanti Mining has also changed its name to Alloycorp Mining Inc. to better reflect the company’s goal of producing molybdenum as a key steel alloy ingredient. A newly hired health and safety manager is due to move here as is Luke Klemke who will be the general manager of the mine. The company has also rented office space in Terrace and has hired local resident Christine Slanz as its community relations manager. At the same time, the

ALLOYCORP MANAGER Luke Klemke points out a feature of his company’s Kitsault development to a group of international bankers during a tour of the location this fall. company has hired engineer Peter Mah to be its new chief operating officer as of Jan. 2, replacing Jeff Lowe who is retiring. Speaking last week, company chief financial officer Graham du Prez said Alloycorp had
anticipated approval by the banking consortium by now but a recent drop in the price of molybdenum has had some of the participating banks are reworking their numbers. “It’s quite a process to go through,” said du
Prez as the banks hone their final numbers based on a broad agreement reached earlier this year to provide just over US $600 million in financing toward the project which is to cost approximately Canadian $1 billion.
Nisga’a promote LNG sites THE PROVINCIAL government says it’s working with the Nisga’a Nation on the development of four potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant sites on the north coast. All four are either within Nisga’a Lands or are outside of Nisga’a Lands but owned in fee simple by the Nisga’a. The Nisga’a began heavily promoting the four locations earlier this year and their viability increased this month when the Nisga’a announced they had a deal with a subsidiary of TransCanada Pipelines allowing a natural gas pipeline to cross through Nisga’a Lands on its way to a planned LNG plant at Prince Rupert. A key part of that deal was the provision for some of that pipeline’s capacity to be used for a LNG plant in which the Nisga’a would be involved. “The province is working with the Nisga’a regarding the four land sites they have identified as potential LNG sites. Those negotiations and discussions are ongoing,” said provincial aboriginal affairs minister John Rustad. He said those discussions, which began at the request of the Nisga’a, are in the early stages and that nothing has been decided. Promotional LNG material being distributed by the Nisga’a does indicate that one of the sites might require additional Crown land and that if so, the Nisga’a would collaborate with the province. “At this point, it would be inappropriate to release specific details of discussions between the province and the Nisga’a Nation,” said Rustad. But he did say talks include “very early discussions” with LNG proponents. Nisga’a Lisims Government president Mitchell Stevens has spoken of the importance of the four locations several times, saying that when the Nisga’a were negotiating for what became Nisga’a Lands, that access to the ocean was crucial. And at late last month’s signing of a deal in which the province is to pay the Nisga’a up to $6 million to have the TransCanada subsidiary pipeline cross Nisga’a Lands, Stevens stressed the need to add value to resources. “We’re not interested in a pipe that comes from the northeast and brings raw resources to the coast,” Stevens said. “What we are interested in is a pipe that gives us an opportunity to provide for an economic base for Nisga’a citizens. And these are the sites that were
identified, which we own in fee simple.” Stevens added that the provincial government’s support was needed to “jump through the hurdles and hoops.” Nisga’a promotional material regarding the four potential sites indicates some could be suitable for land-based LNG plants or floating ones. It also stresses the ability of the Nisga’a to deal with LNG proponents because of the clarity of governance that comes from its 2000 land claims agreement with the provincial and federal governments. The material indicates it would be cheaper to ship gas through a pipeline to those four locations than to have to ship gas further south to Prince Rupert.

“Like any commodity, the price of molybdenum goes up and down and the price is now down a bit,” he said. Included in the banking group is Export Development Canada, which is owned by the federal government and which provides financing for companies exporting products. Even if several of the banks ultimately decide not to participate, Alloycorp has plans to take that into account, du Prez said. “We are ready for that but we don’t think that will happen,” he added. For the moment, the low value of the Canadian dollar in relation to the American dollar makes exports from Canada more attractive, du Prez noted. And he said the financial model for the project is based on a mid-range price of molybdenum. Alloycorp has already lined up offtake agreements with Korean and German customers.

Dolores May (McInnis) Kellar
May 27, 1931 - November 28, 2014
She leaves behind her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren and many dear friends. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Elks Hall December 28, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. In Lieu of Flowers, Memorial tributes in Dolores’ name can be made to The Canadian Diabetes Association of Canada.
1974-2004 (10 yrs gone by)
We carry our love in our hearts day and night, never will you be forgotten! Love Your Mother Lynn, Neil, Nana, Rae-Lee, Christine, sons Brody & Colton, and all your family and friends!
Amy Johanna Kroeker Surrounded by her loving family, Amy Johanna Kroeker entered heaven in the late afternoon of Oct. 28th, 2014 from the Rotary Hospice House in Prince George. Amy was born in Greendale, B.C. to Willy and Mary Wiens, the youngest of seven children. When Amy was two years old the family moved to Matsqui, B.C. It was during Amy’s grade eleven school year that she met her future husband John Kroeker. After a three year courtship they were married and spent fifty two amazing years together, mostly in the Terrace area. Amy was a loving, dedicated mother to their two children; Cynthia May, born in 1963 and Douglas John, born in 1966. Hospitality and generosity were Amy’s greatest gifts as she would open her home at a moments notice to both friend and stranger. Amy and John were the best of friends and loved to be together working, playing, or just hanging out. Amy was predeceased by her sister Mary and brother Alfred. She is survived by her husband John, daughter Cynthia May (Glen), son Douglas John (Deborah), eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. A memorial service was held at the Terrace Evangelical Free Church on Nov.4th, 2014 to honor Amy and her God who she loved so dearly. A special note of thanks to the staff of the Prince George Rotary Hospice House for the loving care that they gave Amy during her final month.

Fab five finish for Cal at championships CALEDONIA’S SR. Girls volleyball team was “definitely in the running for the hardware” at this year’s provincial championships, losing only twice – to the two teams who placed first and second – and finishing fifth overall. That’s the best finish the team has seen at a provincial championship, and a testament to the years of dedication the team has put forward since middle school. “We definitely peaked at the right time,” said coach Carmen Didier in an email after the tournament. “Very proud of all the girls.” Cal entered AAA Sr. Girls Provincials, held this year in Parksville, ranked eighth in the province after a successful season that began at a tournament in Alberta the weekend school was back in session after the teacher labour dispute ended. The first day of play saw Cal beat Clayton Heights and McRoberts in two straight sets a piece before falling to Timberline in two, the first set a close 25-20 and the second 25-11. Day two, Caledonia found College Heights’ number before getting knocked out of medal contention by the team who would go on to win provincials for the third year in a row, South Delta. Caledonia then took on the hometeam, Ballenas, in two sets before taking on Dover in the 5th vs. 6th consolation final, which the team would win

Kermodes b-ball starts strong CALEDONIA SENIOR boys basketball season started with two games at Smithers Secondary Nov. 28. In the first game, the Kermodes were up against the Smithers Gryphons who were missing their two top players because they were at the boys volleyball provincials. Kermodes controlled the whole game and coasted to a 75 - 31 victory. Kermodes were led in scoring by Gabe Johnson with 28 points, Tristan Walker with 10, Mason Kroeker with 10 and Ryan Kunar with 10.
(250) 638-7283
In the late game, the Kermodes took on the Mount Elizabeth Eagles from Kitimat. Once again the Kermodes led from start to finish, cruising to a 70 - 27 victory. Strong performances came from Tristan Walker and Gabe Johnson, each potting 17 points and Ryan Kunar with 14. Last weekend, the Kermodes were in Vanderhoof at the Nechako Valley Invitational tournament before returning home for their first home games of the season this weekend, Friday and Saturday, December 12 and 13.
donia’s Cassidy Kitchen was named on the First All-Star Team. This marks the end of a suc-

Bluebacks back in action at first meet THE TERRACE Bluebacks took a team of six young, but energetic, athletes to the first meet of the year in Prince George at the end of last month. The meet was much smaller than usual, with approximately 200 athletes compared to the normal 300, said Terrace Blueback coach Mike Christensen in an email. The lower numbers, both for the Bluebacks and the overall meet, were partially due to the late start in training with pool renovations as

On our heads we wore wool toques; on our hands, wool gloves knit by Icelandic women. Over our Cowichan wool sweaters we wore pintails, vests fashioned to fit the needs of British Columbian drift fishermen. Over the Pintails we wore raincoats, the kind that commercial fishermen wore as a shield against the wind. The snow wouldn’t hold us. We laced on our snow shoes, Mike shouldered a Trapper Nelson that among the other things winter demanded, contained envelopes for scales, tags, and a tagging gun, to mark steelhead for the Fish and Wildlife Branch. I carried my Fenwick armed with a Hardy Silex. Mike had one of his beloved Ambassdeur level winds affixed to a rod he’d built. We tramped to the first fork on the old skid trail. Mike stopped. Not to wait, but to think. We should fish the pool upstream of the canyon, he said. It’s early. We have time. On short winter days, it’s important to watch the time. We took the upper fork. This meant a long tramp down a steep slope, a long slog back followed by another steep trek to the downstream side of the canyon and back, but endurance wasn’t a
well as the cancellation of the first meet of the year in Prince Rupert, where the pool was also shut down longer than expected. In fact, the Points North Team missed the entire Prince Rupert Team which decided to forgo the Prince George meet in favour of crucial training time lost due to their own pool shut down. This left Smithers, Kitimat, and Terrace to fly the flag with just over 40 athletes. In Prince George, Points North continued
its domination of the 10 and under relay team with an inspired "come from behind" win in the 200 medley relay, anchored by Bluebacks athlete Juliet Lukasser. That win was followed up with another win in the 200 Freestyle Relay with another strong swim by Lukasser. Jade Heathfield, now moved into the 1213 group, assisted the Points North relays that finished 1st in the 200 Free and 2nd in the 200 Medley. And Jake Kluss had to swim up an

We started in again, Mike first this time. He continued to eyeball the far shore. There must be fish over there, he said. Always looks better on the far side, I said perfunctorily. There can’t be just one fish in this run, said Mike as if he hadn’t heard me and was thinking out loud. He made a cursory cast. As I reeled in, I watched the orange top of Mike’s balsa wood float drift downstream then watched the plume as it cut through the water on the retrieve. I cast again. Mike lifted hook, line, float, and shot from the water, tore off the depleted roe and slipped his hook into the guide nearest the handle of his rod. We were only a short way through the run. I realized what my buddy was contemplating. You’re not going to make the wade? I asked incredulously. By the time I’d completed the sentence Mike had pushed off into the flow. Continued next week…

The 2015 model year vehicles are rolling into dealerships, with just a few stragglers set for later arrival in the New Year. This week, the Driveway team takes a look at what’s new, in print and online at drivewaycanada.ca, starting with our chief test driver Zack Spencer.

New Year’s Resolution: Hot rides and buys for 2015 Here are what I consider to be five important cars for 2015.
This sixth generation Explorer marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic SUV, with over 350,000 sold in Canada so far.
Mazda MX-5 2015 Jeep Renegade Over the last few years Mazda has been introducing There is no question that the merger of Fiat and vehicles with its new Skyactiv technology but there is Chrysler has helped to introduce many new vehicles. one car that will signify the culmination of all the things The small car segment is a perfect example; the Fiat Mazda does well, the next generation MX-5 (Miata). 500 and its variations has been a plus The MX-5 will come in 2015 as a 2016 for Chrysler’s bottom line. Built in Europe model and all eyes are on Mazda to see on the Fiat 500L platform, this smaller what it can deliver. The bodywork is more Jeep Renegade replaces the Compass dramatic and having seen it in person, and Patriot models. Powered by either the dimensions look fanatic but the new a 160hp, 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder front grille might take a while to adapt too. or a larger 184hp, 2.4L 4-cylinder, Jeep The two-seat cockpit is roomier, thanks to claims that this compact crossover is a wider body and longer wheelbase but still a capable vehicle because of two the overall length is 105mm shorter and by Zack Spencer available all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems. 20mm lower. The standard models will be available with front-wheelThe 2.0L Skyactiv direct injection 4-cylinder will power drive (FWD), with either a 6-speed manual or 9-speed this lightweight car and power will go to the rear automatic transmission. wheels though a 6-speed manual transmission. Engine Styling is all-American; the signature Jeep grille is maroutput has not been announced, neither has the price, ried perfectly into the boxy design, as too are other Jeep but expect the car to be competitive with the 2015 styling cues. The interior is has a rugged, yet upscale model on price. design that features all of Jeep’s latest technology, Ford Explorer including the award winning Uconnect infotainment The sixth generation Ford Explorer will arrive in 2015 system. Pricing has not been announced but expect it as a 2016 model, now with new 2.3L EcoBoost engine shortly as it is due at dealerships very soon. available on the base and XLT trim. This replaces the older 2.0L Ecoboost and provides a 270hp, a 13 per cent bump over the last version. The 290hp 3.5L V6 is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. Ford claims that styling is the number one purchase consideration so the shape was retained but new grille and LED headlamps help refresh the look.
Honda HR-V Coming in 2015 is another SUV, smaller than the CR-V, helping to define the new subcompact SUV market. This little runabout is built off the excellent Honda Fit platform and will include many of the features that make that car a standout. The first is the interior of the HR-V. It will also feature Honda’s Magic Seats that flip
and fold for amazing versatility. The same 1.8L 4-clinder engine with 138hp will power this vehicle, either with FWD or AWD, through a continuously variable transmission or 6-cpeed manual. Pricing will be introduced closer to the introduction this coming spring. Built in Mexico, the HR-V will give Honda the same leg up that the original CR-V did for the small SUV segment. Chevrolet Volt It might surprise many people that the best selling electric car in Canada is the Chevrolet Volt, not the sexy Tesla Model S. There are many reasons for this, mainly the fact that the Volt provides all-electric transportation for 65 kms but with the aid of a small 4-cylinder generator to extend the range over 300 kms. This car has all of the upside of an electric car with none of the range limiting restrictions. In 2015, Chevrolet will introduce the second generation of Chevrolet Volt, one that hopes to improve on the usability of the car in terms of comfort and electric driving range. General Motors will showcase the next generation car in January at the Detroit Auto Show and the company’s CEO has stated that the new car “will store more energy in its battery pack with fewer cells, yet go further on a charge.” General Motors claims that 80 per cent of current Volt owners commute entirely on electric power, so any improvement to range will help increase this number. The Volt isn’t a huge volume seller for General Motors but this new model will help the company to showcase what it can do technologically. General Motors has the capability to produce some the most advanced cars on the road.
Question of the Week Alexandra Straub writes this week about the unusual new colours featured on cars at the LA Auto Show. Do you favour one colour when you buy a car. If so, what and why?

Crossovers are the most in demand vehicles in any market you can name. Mazda CX-3: Freshly unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the Mazda CX-3 is an all-new compact (crossover) utility. Like all the latest Mazda products it comes with that distinctive Kodo (Soul of Motion) styling theme and it’s the fifth in a series of the new-generation models to feature the full-package of Mazda’s ground-breaking Skyactiv (fuel-saving) technologies. In dealers next summer (as a 2016 model), the CX-3 is expected to become a new core vehicle in the Mazda line-up. Power comes from a 2.0-litre gas engine linked to a six-speed automatic transmission and Mazda’s new-generation AWD system. This system employs an active torque control coupling, first used on the Mazda CX-5, plus a new and unique front wheel slip warning detection system. New technologies available include a Mazda Connect infotainment system and its (radar based) i-Activesense active safety system. The CX-3 has an extra long hood and a flowing

Five crossovers competing in Canada’s hottest market segment shape that raises at the rear to convey a look of strength and power. Large diameter wheels are pushed to the body ends and it has a long 101.2 wheelbase. The chassis employs a lightweight torsion beam rear suspension system. Forward positioning the front wheels allows the driver extended leg room, on the inside, and space for a hinged (organ-type design) gas pedal. Seating is provided for up to five and the rear seat occupants sit a little taller than those in the front. Lincoln MKC: Agile, athletic and fuel-efficient are not words you probably associate with Lincoln vehicles, but they can be used to describe the MKC. This all-new and attractive premium compact utility vehicle fits nicely into a revitalized Lincoln line-up that’s more in tune with today’s luxury vehicle buyer. Powered by either a 2.0-litre (10.9L/100km), or optional 2.3-litre (11.2L/100km), turbocharged four-cylinder (EcoBoost) engine, the MKC has a starting MSRP just under $40,000 and comes in three trim levels. All wheel drive is standard plus continuously controlled suspension damping, adaptive electric power-assisted steering and active (cabin) noise control are included in a group of advanced technologies called Lincoln Drive Control.

The MKC’s extra-large rear liftgate is a distinctive wraparound design that includes the full-width LED taillights. Created by using a unique hydro-forming process it gives the MKC a smooth, clean rear appearance and the wider opening provides easier access to its cargo area. A clever optional power feature also allows hands-free operation, to open or close the liftgate, by using a kicking action. Toyota Highlander: This third generation of Toyota Highlander is sleeker, more fuel-efficient and larger, with three rows of seating, for up to eight occupants. It’s also available in four (3.5-litre) V6 engine editions plus three (V6) hybrid powertrain editions. The fuel-frugal base LE trim ($31,975) is the only front-drive version. Limited ($45,395) is the top-line all-wheel drive edition and hybrid editions range from $44,015 to $52,990.

a minivan. Maximum cargo space of 2,370 litres (with second and third rows folded) isn’t close to the Toyota Sienna minivan’s 4,247 litres. Then again, Highlander has real off-road credentials. Good ground clearance, hill-decent and four-wheeldrive locking features keep Highlander in-touch with its roots.

This third-generation design takes the Murano’s car-like styling to a new level in the utility segment. It’s offered in four trim levels – S ($29,998), SV, SL and Platinum and there’s a choice of front-wheel (S, SV) or all-wheel drive (SV, SL, Platinum). The start price has been reduced by $4,500 (versus the 2014 Murano S) and prices have dropped on almost all trim levels, even though the new Murano comes with more equipment. Power comes from a 3.5-litre V6 engine connected to an Xtronic (CVT) transmission. The 2015 Murano has reduced weight (approximately 145 pounds) versus the previous generation, low rolling resistance tires, air grille shutter, low 0.31 Cd, underbody covers that enhance

underbody airflow and improvements to the Xtronic transmission. Honda CR-V: There are many very good reasons why the Honda CR-V is Canada’s best-selling utility vehicle and it gets significant enhancements for the 2015 model year. Honda claims this is the most significant mid-model cycle refresh in its history and the changes include a new direct-injected Earth Dreams Technology i-VTEC engine and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Although the current (2014) CR-V provides good fuel economy, the new powertrain combo is even better. When both model years are measured with the new NR CAN’s 5-cycle test method, the combined fuel savings for a front-drive 2015 edition is 1.3 L/100km and the 2015 all-wheel-drive version is 1.1 L/100km more frugal than its predecessor. In addition to enhanced exterior and interior styling, CR-V also gets a new suite of Honda Sensing safety and driver assistive features, plus some new standard and available features. And there’s more good news, the 2015 Honda CR-V comes with a lower start manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $25,990. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca
