Red Chris opening delayed By JOSH MASSEY THE OPENING of the Imperial Metals Red Chris copper and gold mine has been delayed until the new year as the company continues to seek a final provincial environmental permit and negotiates with the Tahltan Central Council over recommendations contained in a review of the facility’s tailings pond. Speaking in Terrace Dec.

12, Tahltan Central Council president Chad Day said the next few months will be critical for agreements with Imperial which had originally anticipated starting up its $643 million mine on Tahltan traditional territory by the end of this year.. “There is still negotiations happening so it’s difficult to say if and when that mine is going to start operating soon,” said Day. The tailing pond report

commissioned by the Tahltan and paid for by Imperial from consultants Klohn Crippen Berger pinpointed 22 recommendations to ensure proper mine preparation including a drainage blanket, raising one of the crests of the dam and precautionary monitoring during early operation to make sure the tailings facility was functioning correctly. “We plan on ensuring that all the recommendations get implemented in one form or

another and that’s all part of our discussions with the company right now,” said Day. The review was arranged following a blockade of the mine by Tahltan protesters and others who were worried that the failure of Imperial’s Mt. Polley copper mine tailings pond in August would be repeated at Red Chris. The mine is located approximately 20 kilometres east of Hwy37 North, 18 kilometres

southeast of the village of Iskut. Imperial vice president Steve Robertson agreed with Day’s assessment about an opening of the mine. “I would agree with Chad that the next couple months are going to be very important because this is a time when we actually transition from being a conceptual project into being a real project which has actual real monitoring and implementation

going on,” said Robertson. “We are anticipating that we are going to be commissioning the tailings impoundment in the new year, like right after January 1,” he continued. “We feel that we’ll probably be seeking authorization to actually be doing the commissioning and have the full permit ... before the end of first quarter.”

Hands off Thornhill, city decides

TERRACE CITY council voted Dec. 8 to “not interfere” with Thornhill’s incorporation process in which the neighbouring rural community is looking to become its own municipality. The motion was introduced by councillor Stacey Tyers, seconded by councillor Lynne Christiansen, and was adopted in a 4-3 vote in the first full council meeting since it was sworn in following November municipal elections. The motion is “that we support Area E of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine in choosing their own form of self-government and that we will not interfere.” This means that Terrace council will not request a study of amalgamation from the province until Thornhill, which is Area E in the regional district governance structure, has had a referendum on whether or not to incorporate, the tail end of a process that will take several years. Amalgamation would mean the joining of Terrace and Thornhill into a larger municipality and administration, and has been considered before though rejected years ago by Thornhill residents. The issue arose when former mayor Dave Pernarowski, who did not run again in the November municipal elections, favoured an amalgamation in one of his last addresses. Newly-sworn in mayor Carol Leclerc also spoke out in favour of a study to look at amalgamation during the election campaign. Leclerc attempted at the Dec. 8 council meeting to table Tyers’ resolution pending further thought so as not to “box ourselves in”, but council decided to go ahead with the vote.

RURAL DIRECTORS for the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine take their turn being sworn in Dec. 12. From the left, Ted Ramsey for Thornhill, Linda Pierre for the Hazeltons rural area, Jessica McCallum-Miller for the Terrace rural area, Tina Etzerza for Dease Lake and Dave Brocklebank for Telegraph Creek. Officiating was, far right, provincial court judge Terence Wright.

Directors sworn in for regional district

THE REGIONAL District of Kitimat-Stikine’s meeting to swear in the new board Dec. 12 saw some twists and turns thanks to a delay in the arrival of one director because of a cancelled flight, the return to local politics of defeated Terrace mayoral candidate on the board and the election of a first-timer as chair. Although the cancellation of a flight that was to bring Nass Valley director Harry Nyce back to town caused a minor delay, directors, municipal representatives and alternates were able to be sworn in by provincial court judge Terence Wright of Smithers. But the board’s vote for chair and vice-chair was postponed until Nyce’s alternate flight could land later than evening and he could either be present or vote by phone. In the meantime, Village of Hazelton mayor Alice Maitland was made interim chair by administrator Bob Marcellin so the meeting could continue. Marcellin noted that Maitland was also on the inaugural board back in 1967, joking that at that time she was just a teenager. Recovering from the loss in his run for mayor of Terrace, Bruce Bidgood, a Terrace city councillor until this year and out-going regional district chair, was named as the alternate for Thornhill electoral director Ted Ramsey. As Bidgood is not on Terrace city council anymore, his executive roles with regional and provincial government organizations have also ended. “No, my role is confined to the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. I will attend when Ted cannot be there,” said Bidgood.

“I think he would like me to help Area E (Thornhill) as it explores its possibility for incorporation. I may also play a small role in the [Northwest BC] Resource Benefits Alliance,” he said. When Nyce finally landed in Terrace and could be reached at the airport by phone, the vote for chair and vice-chair could take place. Nyce and Terrace city councillor Stacey Tyers, one of the two Terrace directors on the regional district board, were nominated. When the votes were counted, Tyers was named chair. Nyce, who had served as chair in years past, was then nominated for the vice chair position and he was unopposed. Municipal directors sworn in are Maitland, Terrace city councillors James Cordeiro and Stacey Tyers as city representatives, District of New Hazelton mayor Gail Lowry, and new District of Kitimat mayor Philip Germuth. Missing was District of Stewart mayor Galina Durant. Electoral district directors are Ramsey, Linda Pierre for the Hazeltons rural area, Jessica McCallum-Miller for the rural Terrace area, Dave Brocklebank for Telegraph Creek and Tina Etzerza for Dease Lake. Nyce was still to be sworn in. The municipal and electoral alternates are: Joe Murphy for rural Terrace, Terrace city councillors Michael Prevost and Lynne Christiansen for the city, District of Stewart councillor Patricia Lynn, and Bidgood. Directors will be chosen for committees at a later date. Directors are to serve four-year terms.

Nisga’a opposition to a gas pipeline running through the Nass lava beds surfaces

ILL KLATTE didn’t like what he was seeing on his computer one late November day while sitting in his Victoria, B.C. apartment. He was streaming the provincial legislative channel, watching the passage of several bills setting out how the Nisga’a Lisims Government (NLG) could tax liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipelines through Nisga’a lands and how construction of one pipeline, the proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project (PRGT), would be better served by removing 60 hectares of land from the Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park. “It was just maddening that both parties, including the opposition, were holding this up as such a great thing,” said Klatte, a Nisga’a student at the University of Victoria whose family lives in Kincolith and Greenville in the Nass Valley, 90 kilometres north of Terrace. “It’s held up as a grand success – and it is, it’s a grand success for the project, it’s a grand success for the province, it’s a success for Canada, and if it’s going to be a success for the Nisga’a people, I’d be really, really surprised.” Watching the proceedings wrap up, Klatte left his suite and walked the short 10 minutes to the legislature buildings where, he says, two security guards conveniently pointed him in the direction of a small room where provincial and Nisga’a officials were to sign agreements that would provide the Nisga’a with nearly $6 million and a share of ongoing benefits should a pipeline through Nisga’a lands actually be built. Apparently fitting right in, no one questioned him while he was waiting with Nisga’a officials and others before the group was let into the room. “I didn’t really realize it was going to be all of the Nisga’a brass there,” he said, of the moment he saw NLG president Mitchell Stevens. “I just kind of stood there and acted like I was supposed to be there and supposed to be waiting, and nobody said anything to me, and then I just waited until they were all seated and that’s when the video starts.” Klatte’s four-minute video, shot with his smartphone and uploaded to his Facebook page, has now

been viewed close to 14,000 times. It shows Nisga’a officials sitting around a table with provincial aboriginal minister John Rustad and environment minister Mary Polak, official documents ready to be signed in front of them. Klatte calmly questions Stevens about the proposed pipeline and potential LNG terminal locations, and Stevens calmly responds, noting the Nisga’a Final Agreement and its protections has guided the deal. Together with other videos and social media, Klatte’s demonstration has given substance to a number of Nisga’a unhappy with how their government is dealing with industry in the Nass Valley. Those people include members of Klatte’s family, the lineage of which includes Nisga’a hereditary chief James Robinson – also known as Chief Mountain – who launched several court challenges against the Nisga’a treaty, and groups of Nisga’a citizens who have been circulating petitions and holding rallies in the valley and in Vancouver in opposition to the pipeline deals since details were released in early November. Their concerns are wideranging and not exclusive – from the route of the proposed 50-metre wide pipeline right-of-way to what has been called a lack of transparency on the part of the government on the events leading up to the deal, including how much money the Nisga’a will specifically receive and how that will be divided, to potential impacts on fish and wildlife habitat if LNG plants are erected on Nisga’a lands along the coast. Some are solely concerned with the land removed from the park for the pipeline route. The lava beds in the park are regarded by Nisga’a as a burial ground in that they contain the burial locations for several thousand Nisga’a killed following a volcanic eruption more than 250 years ago. And the broader environmental movement – concerned, in part, with carbon emissions from energy development – has also embraced the Nisga’a opposition. “I was surprised that no one grabbed me and pushed me out of the room, so I kept asking questions,” said Klatte of Nov. 27 event. “What I wanted to do was

WILL KLATTE videos a benefits signing agreement between the Nisga’a Lisims Government and the provincial government Nov. 27. A Nisga’a citizen, Klatte’s worried about the scope and pace of industrial development in the Nass Valley. have some proof that there’s opposition to this and that there are a lot of people who feel that they have not been considered in this decision.” The response to the video has been “overwhelmingly positive,” he says, and has given him a chance to further connect with his community. But he’s also had some social media backlash from Nisga’a who support LNG development and the NLG’s authority to make decisions. “I’m not unaware of people’s support of this and that people want it,” Klatte said. “What I’m doing is going on information from my elders and my family – I acted on that because of my respect for the people in my family telling me they don’t feel heard and they don’t have a voice and that nobody is listening to them.” That’s not something the Lisims Government agrees with, pointing to 23 community meetings held regarding the proposed LNG projects over the last two years in the Nass Valley, across the northwest, and in the Lower Mainland, including several over the end of November and early December, specifically addressing the pipeline agreements. “These community meetings have been open to all

Nisga’a citizens to express their views for or against LNG,” said NLG president Mitchell Stevens. He’s confident the majority of Nisga’a citizens support the PRGT project because “they believe this project will achieve sustainable prosperity and improve our quality of life as they have long hoped for.” Nisga’a approval of the pipeline project, including removal of land from the lava bed park, came after a vote in the Nisga’a legislature, following provisions laid out in the 2000 Nisga’a Final Agreement setting out self government powers. “Our Nisga’a constitution provides for a democratically elected form of representative governance, the right of Nisga’a citizens to express their views, and the goals of sustainable prosperity and self-reliance. We are confident that we have lived up to all these constitutional principles in respect of the PRGT project,” he said. Still, Klatte says he’d like to see a referendum on the issue, one that gives the some 6,000 Nisga’a (just under half of whom live in the Nass Valley) a number of options on proposed development. He’s concerned that when he and other urban Nisga’a like him move back,

the valley won’t be the same place it has been for generations. “All of the urban Nisga’a I know are working toward ways of going back there and bettering the community, bringing something back,” he said. Klatte also wants more Nisga’a government documents made available online and a Nisga’a-specific newspaper so urban Nisga’a can follow decisions being made in the Nass. “When I go back, I want it to be a place where I can go be Nisga’a, like my ancestors were and get my food from the river and be there without it being some industrialized zone like anywhere in Canada,” he said. The Nisga’a Lisims Government tempers those concerns, with Stevens noting, “only a small percentage of Nisga’a lands or the Nass area will be affected by this project, so most of the land will remain unaffected. We will continue to hunt and fish as we have done since time immemorial. “The right of Nisga’a Nation to progress with everyone else in Canada is not frozen in time. Our ancestors were great survivors and pragmatists, and always sought out the most effective solutions to meet their needs. Today as a forward-

looking people, we are doing the same to secure our future into the next century by participating in these developments,” he continued. Steven discounts the need for a referendum on the park lands removal, citing the vote held in the Nisga’a legislature, the Wilp Si’ayuukhl Nisga’a (WSN), made up of 36 elected members from the Nass and elsewhere. That vote – which met the two-third threshold needed to amend the Nisga’a Final Agreement, where the park boundaries are set out, although the NLG declined repeated requests to provide specific numbers of the vote – came after floor debate by Nisga’a representatives in the WSN and after gaining approval from Nisga’a hereditary chiefs, essentially a combination of traditional and current governmental procedure. On Oct. 28, 2014, the NLG executive passed a resolution approving and authorizing the benefits agreement, and the next day in the WSN “the duly elected members of the legislature ... voted by a considerable margin in favour of a motion respecting boundary parks amendments to enable PRGT’s pipeline to be built through the Lava Bed Park,” said president Stevens.

Route would travel 12 kilometres along highway By JOSH MASSEY

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

HWY113 AS it winds through the Nisga’a Lava Bed Memorial Park in the Nass Valley. There’s been opposition to removing a portion of the park to allow a natural gas pipeline to run alongside the highway. The October votes wouldn’t have happened without a July 2013 vote that allowed the council of elders, comprised of hereditary chiefs and matriarchs, to speak in the legislature about LNG after hearing presentations from TransCanada and Spectra, another company with plans to build a gas pipeline through Nisga’a lands. (For more on what the pipeline would look like, see story at right.) “In their comments, the elders spoke to the values of prosperity, protection of our lands, and participating in the benefits from such developments, and indicated that for developments that take place in the Nass area, Nisga’a Nation should share in the benefits,” said Stevens. “The direction of the hereditary leaders was that NLG must move this initiative forward in accordance with the Nisga’a Final Agreement,” said Stevens. But ultimately, Klatte, the person who challenged his government at the provincial legislature, says there are deeper issues at play than specific pipeline agreements. They encompass those of a larger movement – whether it be people from

the Lower Mainland protesting Kinder Morgan’s plan to twin a crude oil pipeline or Gitxsan house groups in the Hazeltons who also question natural gas pipeline plans. “We’re jumping in on the wrong side, really late in the game when we could be jumping in ahead of the game, on the side that could be revolutionary,” Klatte said. “Say the Nass had a stable energy plan, open for investment in geothermal? Has anyone looked at that? Has anyone looked at a sustainable hydro-electric facility that would not affect the salmon spawning?” Outside of the Nass and the Hazeltons, other First Nations members oppose either pipelines or, in the northeast, oppose drilling methods to extract gas in the first place. “How do the Nisga’a want to be perceived in the broader First Nations community? We have opposition to these kinds of things up and down the coast … I just don’t feel like we should be putting ourselves in the position to benefit from the ongoing dispossession of other indigenous nations from their lands,” said Klatte. His points are echoed by Ginger Gosnell-Meyers, a Lower Mainland Nisga’a citizen who is a self-pro-

claimed outsider and who has been an advocate for greater participation and transparency in aboriginal self-government. She praises both Klatte and Grant Barton, who interrupted an earlier signing ceremony, this one between the Nisga’a Lisims Government and TransCanada for separate economic benefits. “It’s embarrassing,” Gosnell-Myers said, of the pipeline agreements and how that places the Nisga’a in the larger First Nations narrative. But specifically as Nisga’a, part of her opposition stems from what she says is a lack of governmental mandate by the NLG. “Not one of the elected officials mentioned anything about supporting pipeline projects,” she said, of campaign statements during the last Nisga’a national elections held in 2012. “I’ve spent a lot of time in the Canadian political community, when you’re running for a position you have a platform, a platform of issues that you’re running on,” said Gosnell-Myers. To that end, she anticipates a vigorous election in 2016, the next time Nisga’a are to vote and she doesn’t think the opposition will quiet down anytime soon.

“We can join with other First Nations who are in opposition, we can highlight our information through social media, through the Internet and our own websites, we can speak to the media, and we can continue to advocate and process. Those are pretty much our options,” she said. “And we can share as much information as we can find so that when our next election rolls around people have a clear idea of what to ask those seeking reelection or election.” While that election is still several years away, the significance of the debate occurring in light of the pipeline agreements cannot be understated, said GosnellMyers. “What’s been happening with the Nisga’a around this pipeline is really unprecedented. My nation is generally a very conservative people – not conservative in the political terms – but just in how we live. We’re not protesters, we’re not loud, we keep to ourselves for the most part, we’ve done things ourselves for the most part, so I think to see protests spring up amongst our people and in our homeland is unheard of,” she said. “Even though these conversations are divisive in nature, I think all of this is healthy.”

BY THE numbers, the plan to build a natural gas pipeline through the Nass Valley from northeastern B.C. toward tidewater before turning south under the water to a planned liquefied natural gas plant at Prince Rupert is similar to other pipeline construction projects of its kind. Called the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project, the TransCanadaconstructed pipeline is to be approximately 900 kiJohn Dunn lometres. Of that total length, about 85 kilometres is to go through Nisga’a Lands and a further 12 kilometres is to run alongside Hwy113 as it winds through the Nisga’a Lava Bed Memorial Park, turning what was park land into a pipeline corridor of approximately 50 metres in width for that 12 kilometres. Construction will involve removing quantities of lava rock, and then excavating a trench about one metre into the ground in which TransCanada will place a 48-inch diameter pipe before covering it up with fine material. Company president John Dunn, who spoke to city council while in Terrace last week, said the company has committed itself to providing $300,000 in recreation improvements. Possibilities include installing park benches and a bike path along the corridor, he said. “We’ll work with Nisga’a businesses to move the rock, dig then trench, bury the pipe, put the lava material back in,” said Dunn of the consultation and hiring that will go on during the installation and the replacement of part of the hardened lava. “To the extent there is visual disturbance it will be minimized and the landscape will be largely as you see it now.” When complete, the final right-of-way for the corridor will about 32-metres wide. But although passed by the Nisga’a legislature, the idea of taking even 60 hectares of land from the provincial park out of approximately 17,700 hectares of park land in total didn’t sit well. The lava beds resulted from B.C.’s most recent volcanic eruption about 263 years ago, and are mostly untouched by humans because they are considered a sacred memorial by the Nisga’a, several thousands of whom died in the eruption. Nisga’a stories say the lava flood was retribution from the gods for Nisga’a children having hurt salmon, a cautionary tale that still rings true as companies attempt to lessen the impact of their proposed pipelines. Even as some Nisga’a citizens opposed the removal of park land and have widespread concerns about industrial development, they found an ally in the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. In September, directors of the regional district which runs from Kitimat north to Dease Lake and Telgraph Creek, including the Nass Valley and the Hazeltons, passed a motion to oppose TransCanada’s route through the memorial park. None of the directors were recorded as opposing the motion. But provincial government, Nisga’a Lisims Government and TransCanada Pipeline officials all say removing land from the park to create a pipeline corridor was the most environmentally sensitive move to make and most technically simple. Six options were looked at in all, said the officials, before the final decision was made.

Wednesday, December 17, 2014 Terrace Standard

EDITORIAL Jack Talstra FORMER mayor Jack Talstra, who passed away Dec. 5, 2014, very rarely lost his temper in public. But when he did, it was for a direct effect. It was mid-1997, the first months of uncertainty following the news that forest products giant Repap and its B.C. subsidiary, Skeena Cellulose, was in deep financial trouble. Closure of the company’s sawmill here, a showcase when it opened in 1988, and which drove the city’s and area’s employment and business base would bring on a crisis. During a noon-hour council session Mr. Talstra spent a few minutes listening to his officials and those from the highways ministry debate the minute details of the ins and outs of vehicle access off of Keith Ave. to the Real Canadian Wholesale Club store then under construction. The thrust of the debate seemed to indicate that a lot was going to be asked of Real Canadian to get vehicles to and from the store. After a pause, Mr. Talstra angrily told his officials and those from the ministry that the store was coming to the community and was going to bring in jobs, badly needed ones, so everyone just needed to go back and figure it out. The access issue was then very quietly resolved. Perhaps Mr. Talstra wasn’t really angry that day. Perhaps it was a clever tactic to get something to happen. But with a major employer in trouble and the need to find other business, Mr. Talstra simply did what he needed to do. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Mouse must abide by house rule says lady

y day has just gotten off to a crappy start. I found a mouse turd lying on my desk between the TV remote and my column notebook. It wasn’t there an hour ago when I read morning emails an hour ago. So where did it come from? Granted a layer or two of this and that – notes, promotional letters from charities, file cards for requesting library books – litter my desk. Yesterday I sorted through a two year collection of The Writer and Good Times collected on the bottom shelf of my Debbie Travis computer cabinet, piling them on the desk. The turd could have been sandwiched in one of those, a holdover from the mouse that invaded my kitchen back in August. Maybe this morning I pushed aside a note exposing the filthy thing. Wish I could carbon date this specimen. It would ease my mind if it turned out to be only a reminder of that mouse’s pre-hibernation visit mere days before I hosted three fishermen for a week. You can bet I never raised

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI the mouse as a conversation topic. A western wag wily to ways of exterminating varmints suggests I bite this turd with my front tooth to test for hardness: “Really hard means it is old; don’t worry about it. Medium, the critter probably has been around a while, but not recently. If the turd squishes rather than breaks, set out poison or a trap to catch it. In any case like a good wine taster, do not swallow the turd; just savour it and spit it out.” I’m not falling for that one. I refer to biting.

As a farm kid who battled many mice, I never met a mouse turd softer than granite, no matter how fresh. Evidence left behind in August revealed that mouse roamed my bedroom, including my pillow while I slept on it, as well as the kitchen cupboards before trapping itself under the kitchen sink at the bottom of a tall plastic Safeway bulk bin too slippery for it to climb out of. At least it displayed a normal healthy appetite for food. This mouse nosed around my reference books – a Webster’s dictionary, Roget’s Thesaurus, and Bartlett’s Quotations. Hints this could be a refined mouse intent on acquiring culture? Or does it lack the street smarts to pick a path less visible? As long as it can’t read it won’t anticipate the mayhem I am planning. I have three traps and plenty of poison left over from dealing two years ago with a mouse who shuttled from the compost box to the greenhouse. A well aimed spade ended his forays. Could this invader have laid down a trail, like a bee or ant, that other mice can

follow? What is the average life span of a partnerless mouse? If it fails to find a mate, can I at least look forward to it dying of a broken heart? And if so, how long might that take? Though this moocher has no pre-arranged rental agreement with me perhaps treating it like any tenant will hasten its departure. I can begin by posting a set of house rules modelled after landladies from my youth: No noise after 10 p.m. No overnight visitors. No consumption of liquor. No doubt I should include drugs. Landladies often stipulated “Only three baths per week” or some such water restriction but this freeloader would never run the tap unnecessarily. I’m convinced, regardless of the civilized behaviour of Stuart Little and other movie mice, real mice never drink. How else would they flourish to overpopulate grain bins or barn lofts? Yikes! I found a second mouse turd beside the phone. Claudette Sandecki listens for the pitter patter of mouse paws from her Thornhill home.

The Mail Bag He believed in the people here Dear Sir: Jack Talstra, Terrace’s former mayor of 23 years, left us on Sinterklaass, Dec. 5, a Dutch family holiday celebrating Saint Nicholas, “the good saint”. Jack gave us the gift of himself, and he definitely was one of Northwest BC’s good saints. In the days after Terrace’s 2008 municipal elections, when I asked Jack if he would be interested in being on the board of the Skeena Nass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics (SNCIRE), he said that since he wasn’t mayor anymore, Hilda, his wife, had told him it was time to “do nothing” for a while. Plus, times were still tough, and he had things to attend to at his law firm. But … he still signed on, and Jack was on the board of SNCIRE from its inception in 2009. He was chair until just last year, and he stayed on, even through his illness. Jack did this because, regardless of whether he was in the mayor’s chair, simply a citizen, the chair of a nonprofit, or a business owner, he believed in the people of Terrace, Kitselas, Kitsumkalum, Thornhill, and the entire northwest. He believed that we deserved to have a real say in our destiny, and to be active participants in shaping our future. Jack knew that we needed eco-

Great mentor

nomic activity to support the services and facilities we need, and the arts and culture we deserve. He believed that our natural resources, especially our forests, were key to that future. He often said what we needed was more research and innovation in the Northwest. He believed that working together, as a region, we were stronger. Someone once told me that Jack was incredibly shy but he still did what he did because he believed the community of Terrace and the entire Northwest needed a voice – and he was willing to help. He was a champion for us all, though he would never have used that word. Jack was a friend, but I still didn’t get to know him half as well as I would have liked – and I’ll bet that many people feel the same way. I know he was quietly proud of his family. He was a strategic thinker. He believed everyone had a right to speak, and was always genuinely interested in what they had to say. And I know this: he believed in the strength and potential of the people of northwest B.C. And because of his belief, so do many other people. And so do I. Thank you, Jack. Rick Brouwer, SNCIRE Executive Director, Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir: I was saddened to learn of the passing of Jack Talstra. I served the city as a councillor for 12 years with Jack as our mayor. He was a great mentor and served the city admirably. There will be endless stories of Jack’s leadership coming out in the ensuing days. Some of memorable ones include the entire council being in Prince Rupert in “Repap” negotiations and staying up all night. Under unbearable pressure, in a desperate situation, Jack led the council and stood firm to avoid accepting a poor offer. The other great memory is a trip just Jack and I took to Victoria to lobby a minister. We excused ourselves from a convention early one morning and took the helijet to Victoria. I cannot remember the issue but it was quite serious and the minister had refused to give us an appointment for weeks.

hat to do about Thornhill. The question is the region’s Coronation Street – a saga with no end. For a “what to do” debate to make any sense at all, we should attempt to resolve the “why do anything” question. Why do we – whoever “we” is – need to change anything with regard to Thornhill’s local governance? Should population be a consideration? Kitimat-Stikine Regional District’s area “E” is a classic electoral area. Twentyfive regional district electoral areas have a greater population than does Kitimat-Stikine’s area “E.” On the other hand, 62 British Columbia municipalities have fewer inhabitants than does Thornhill. Population statistics are irrelevant; case in point being the population of the Greater Vancouver Regional District’s electoral area “A” which exceeds the population of City of Terrace. If not population, then what distinguishes regional district governance from municipal gov-

ernance? In the area of responsibilities for community services there is no difference. Whatever services and programs a municipal government may provide for its residents can equally be provided by a regional district. Water, sewer, fire protection, recreation, culture, land use planning, economic development, there is no difference between the two forms of local government in terms of the services and programs they are empowered to provide. There is no difference in their respective authority to cooperate with other governing institutions, be they local, regional, provincial or national. It is not unusual for municipalities and regional districts to join forces to deliver services and offer programs for the benefit of users and contributors. There are innumerable examples around the province of intermunicipal agreements. There are also municipal-regional, and local government-provincial agreements on a wide range of local government services. There are financial differences

GUEST COMMENT

ANDRE CARREL between the municipal and regional form of local government, but there are as many financial differences among individual municipalities, e.g., policing costs and provincial grants, as there are between municipalities and regional districts. How property taxes in a Town of Thornhill or of a Thornhill subdivision in Terrace would differ from taxes now charged property owners

could be studied. We have to realize, however, that projecting what property taxes might be over the long-term is speculation. Therefore, what to do about Thornhill is a political question; it is not economic or administrative. Thornhill is not a monolith, it is a community. As a healthy community Thornhill embodies both conflicts and the capacity for compromise stimulated by discussion and debate. Today the residents of Thornhill are represented by one person on the regional district board where the community’s local governance decisions are made. How can one person represent, defend, and argue a multitude of views and opinions so as to reach a reasoned compromise? If Thornhill were to incorporate as a municipality, a council charged with the responsibilities to govern the community would consist of five people, a mayor and four council members. A municipal council’s preeminent responsibility is to construct compromise from conflict. Amalgamation calls for

Thornhill to be incorporated into the established municipal infrastructure of the City of Terrace. This would not be a merger of two equal local governments. The amalgamation proposal amounts to a boundary expansion proposal for the City of Terrace. If this were to be done, Thornhill would be a subdivision within the City of Terrace, and what is today an independent community would be without assured representation on the municipal council. Residents of Thornhill have two choices if they cherish the independence of their community: local government by a single elected representative or by a council of five elected representatives. The kind of mutually beneficial agreements a Village of Thornhill and the City of Terrace may negotiate and re-negotiate are limited only by imagination. Incorporating Thornhill into the City of Terrace, on the other hand, would be forever. Retired public sector administrator Andre Carrel lives in Terrace, B.C.

Three who remember

Dear Sir: As a reporter at The Terrace Standard I had to work with Jack Talstra through some tough stories. I remember chasing him down on a Saturday, minutes before deadline and finally having the conversation that would lead to breaking the story about the City purchasing the former Co-op property. I recall weekly conversations in the wake of the failed bid by the Terrace Lumber Company to revive the sawmill. These weren’t always easy conversations because they touched a nerve with so many people, but Jack never offered up an answer that wasn’t carefully thought out and considered. His approach to leadership was much like how he raised his family: be fiscally responsible, save for the tough times, make smart decisions for the future and do what is right for your neighbours and love each other greatly. He raised his family to care about social justice, to give back to the communities they live in and treat others as they would want to be treated. Another legacy he leaves. Sarah Zimmerman, Terrace, B.C. ***** Dear Sir: Through a fractious amalgamation vote with Thornhill, a divisive casino and slots proposal for downtown, uncertainty during the negotiation of the Nisga’a treaty (a cause he championed), the marathon Skeena Cellulose crisis and the subsequent economic downturn – it’s hard to think who else would be a better force for stability during such a time of trial. He could be prickly and difficult to deal with for other reporters, but I never found him to be that way. He was always accessible, always candid, and

always able to see the bigger picture. He never forgot the best interests of the people he served. It’s impossible to think of an equivalent mayor. He’ll be missed for his strong leadership, deep integrity, and great sense of humour. Thank you Hilda and Jack’s kids and grandkids, for sharing him with us. Jennifer Lang, White Rock, B.C. ***** Dear Sir: I recall occasions where Jack decided criticism of past decisions at an all candidates forum or from some upstart politician at a regional district meeting simply could not stand. His favourite tactic in these battles was to invoke the memory of deceased and beloved Terrace politicians and defend their honour. The first sign was when Jack’s voice changed – it got hoarse with emotion. You could hear a pin drop in the room because everyone knew Jack was starting to lay the lumber on someone. “When you say that you’re saying the people who came before – the Ruth Hallocks and the Bob Coopers – you’re saying they couldn’t read a balance sheet. You’re saying they were idiots. You’re saying they weren’t very smart…” I’m going by memory here, but the Talstra attack went along those lines and it was devastating. I’m sure it won’t be long before others invoke his name in political combat, and somewhere, Jack will be smiling. Jeff Nagel, White Rock, B.C..

Talstra a great mentor We arrived at the legislature and literally snuck in an unlocked side service door. Jack confidently rebuffed anyone who questioned our presence wandering the halls at 7 am. We found the minister’s office and camped out in the foyer refusing to leave until we were granted an audience. Many many hours later when the minister realized we were not leaving and his only exit was past us he acquiesced. Jack and I presented our case with Jack elo-

quently taking the lead. The minister informed us he did not appreciate being held hostage in his own office. Jack apologized however reiterated to the minister this was really important to HIS community and he had a duty of care to represent Terrace. My thoughts are with Hilda and the family. Thanks Jack for your dedication and service to YOUR community. David D. Hull, Abbotsford, B.C.

Always be ‘mayor’ Dear Sir: The people that did know Jack and those that are now getting to know his name will realize the commitment he had to the quality of life for every person who called Terrace their home. He was the Mayor of Terrace during one of the, if not the longest, periods of economic downturn here. The collapse of Skeena Celluose Incorporated in 1997 began a decade of economic turmoil for the region that truly was unprecedented. Yet during that time Terrace, thru Jack’s determination, leadership, vision and most importantly statesmanship, survived and has emerged as the economic leader for the region. He knew the importance of building stronger partnerships with your neighbouring communities, aboriginal and non-aboriginal, and in many way set the provincial standard for

those kinds of relationships, especially with the neighbouring First Nation communities. He understood how to walk minefield through the minefi eld of provincial and federal politics and come out unscathed, leaving the community a little better off for the effort every time. As MLA and a minister I had an opportunity to work with and for Jack, witnessing on a regular basis the passion he displayed in advancing the northwest on the provincial stage. I have lost a friend, someone who reflect, as I refl ect, wish I had taken the time to spend more time with. He may have been Jack to many but for me he has always been “Mayor” and always will be. Roger Harris, Terrace, B.C. (Roger Harris was a member of the provincial Liberal government between 2001 and 2005.)

Dear Sir: I was the reporter covering city council for The Terrace Standard from 1988 until 1993 and therefore had a lot of dealings with Jack Talstra. Two words best described him: unflappable. affable and unfl appable. I only managed once to break through that unflflappable appable barrier and that was when he announced the plan to build a convention/recreation centre. I kept asking him where the money was going to come from and on the third time of asking he lost his cool, snapping that

such negative attitudes were not helpful. But being Jack, he never held my negativism on that issue against me when it came to others. The other memory that makes me smile is when I phoned him for a comment on some long forgotten provincial announcement. He replied, “You know what I’m going to say, Malcolm, so why don’t you just write it.” That was something else he had, a sense of humour. Malcolm Baxter, Terrace, B.C.

Candidate passes DON DUNSTER, an unsuccessful candidate for Terrace city council in the November municipal elections, died Dec. 5 at Mills Memorial Hospital. Dunster, 74, had been living in a secondhand motorhome with a small dog as a companion and the pair of them could often be seen walking along the millennium trail. He parked his motorhome at night at various locations around the city and it could most often been seen at the former Co-op location during the day. Dunster was one of the 12 candidates who ran for the six Terrace council seats in the November municipal elections. At the Nov. 5 all-candidates meeting, Dunster drew some of the loudest applause of the evening during a discussion on campaign methods. “Your home is your castle and I won’t be invading it for me,” he said about knocking on doors. A bookkeeper by trade, Dunster, a 41-

DON DUNSTER, who ran unsuccessfully for Terrace municipal council in this November’s elections, has passed away. year resident of Terrace, was an admitted alcoholic who had been dry for close to 13 years. “I haven’t had a drink in 10 years,” Dunster said in a 2011 profile written about him when he ran, also unsuccessfully, for mayor that year. “I’m not ashamed of it, I’m proud of where I am today.”

During his working career, Dunster was a bookkeeper for logging companies and other businesses in the Terrace area. For a time he was also a member of the health council, which ran Mills Memorial Hospital, a body that ceased to exist when a regional health authority took over.

From front

Council votes to stay out of Thornhill plans Councillors Brian Downie and Sean Bujtas voted against the motion as did Leclerc while Tyers, Christiansen, James Cordeiro and Michael Prevost voted in favour. Tyers and Downie continued debating the motion in an animated fashion outside in the rain after the meeting. During the meeting Downie had said it was nonsensical for Terrace not to have a say in Thornhill’s decision whether to incorporate and said he disagreed with Tyers having voted originally at the regional district to support the motion of Thornhill director Ted Ramsey initiating the incorporation process. Downie said the motion is premature “because we don’t want to be out there saying we are absolutely in favour without assessing how it will affect the city of Terrace...” Tyers fired back that, “we are not taking sides about which form of government is best, it’s about respecting our neighbour’s right to determine and do their planning.” “What you seem to be saying is leave them alone, don’t get involved in their affairs. I think that is a mistake,” said Downie, pointing to the potential affect on businesses that may be located in Thornhill but that contribute to the whole area. In backing Downie, councillor Sean Bujtas said, “at the end of the day nobody is going to try to take anybody over. This isn’t what we are trying to do.” “Thornhill is going to make that decision and everyone in this room is going to respect that decision, no matter what it is. But if all of a sudden an opportunity comes up to do a feasibility study and we don’t take that opportunity, Thornhill votes in three years not to incorporate, we were just three years behind...” In response to Bujtas, Tyers said that in fact there is a large amount of consultation that has to be done, so waiting for Thornhill’s referendum on incorporation would not slow the process down necessarily.

“It’s a good discussion,” said Leclerc, “and I think we could probably do with a little more information before we make this final

decision. It feels like it’s very final. And I would hate to see us box ourselves into something we could possibly regret later.”

Christiansen and James Cordeiro argued that the council’s various positions on the subject were already formed and that they

should proceed with voting on the motion. “We have had a lot of discussion and people’s decisions are out there,” said Christiansen. “I

would rather have the vote and be done with this... and we will see how it all pans out.” On Facebook former mayor Dave Pernarows-

ki suggested the question might have been better presented as a notice of motion initially which would have given council more time.

TAHLTAN CENTRAL Coiuncil president Chad Day, left, and provincial aboriginal relations minister John Rustad at Dec. 12 announcement that the Tahltan are to own a portion of a small hydro-electric project.

Tahltan buy into hydro project THE PROVINCIAL government is giving the Tahltan Central Council $500,000 to buy into a small run of river project on the Iskut River owned by Calgary-based energy company AltaGas. The Volcano Creek project, rated at 16 megawatts, has just begun producing power which is then being sold to BC Hydro, entering the provincial grid through the crown corporation’s Northwest Transmission Line. Provincial and Tahltan officials were in Terrace Dec. 12, releasing details of the business deal through the First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund

which will see the Tahltan earn a portion of the money being paid by BC Hydro to AltaGas for the power through a 60-year purchase agreement with the company. The ownership stake is in addition to separate deals the Tahltan have signed with the provincial government for a share of the water rentals being paid by AltaGas for all three of its Iskut River run of river projects. In addition to the Volcano Creek project, the 195 megawatt Forrest Kerr project began producing power into the provincial grid through the Northwest Transmission Line in the summer and the

McLymont Creek project of between 50 and 75 megawatts is still under construction. The Forrest Kerr project represents $1.1 million to the Tahltan annually from water rentals and the Volcano Creek project represents $3,000 per year. As well, the Tahltan have also signed separate economic benefits agreements with AltaGas for its three projects. Tahltan Central Council president Chad Day was in Terrace along with vice president Heather Hawkins, Iskut band manager Feddie Louie and Iskut band councillor Paul Louie. Day exchanged

gifts with Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation minister John Rustad at an event held in the Best Western Hotel. The $500,000 being provided by the province is the maximum any First Nation can receive per project from the clean energy fund. It is being used to exercise an option the Tahltan Central Council has with AltaGas for a one-time investment of between $500,000 and $2 million in the Volcano Creek project. The Volcano Creek and McLymont Creek projects will cost approximately $250 million and when added to the cost of the Forrest

Flights to Calgary coming AIR CANADA has announced it will be offering the first ever direct flight between Terrace and Calgary beginning June 1 next year. The daily, yearround flight will depart Terrace at 9:25 a.m. while the incoming flight from Calgary will arrive at 9 a.m. with a flight time of one hour, 45 minutes. The airplane being used is a Bombardier CRJ commuter jet with 50 seats. “There are a fair number of people in Calgary that are from Terrace,” said airport manager Carmen Hendry, speaking to the rea-

sons why the route was needed. “There is a fair bit of commuter travel back and forth from people who live here. And there’s the mining industry that needs to go to Alberta into Calgary, and yes of course the [potential liquefied natural gas] projects.” Hendry doesn’t predict a significant increase in traffic at the airport because it is simply making the route more direct for people who would already be flying to Calgary through Vancouver. But he did say the ability to connect in Calgary to flights from there back east or for

vacation travel southward adds a new dimension for local and regional residents. Air Canada’s announcement comes as the airport closes in on the 250,000 passenger mark for 2014 with 19,635 passengers either landing or departing. “From November 2013 to this November, we’re at 252,081 [passengers],” said Hendry. Growth remains comfortably in the 20 per cent range although there has been a slight dip now the BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line is finished and AltaGas has two

of its three run-of-river projects north of here in operation. Traffic remains strong because of Rio Tinto Alcan’s continuing work on its Kitimat aluminum smelter modernization project and Hendry is anticipating business and worker commuters once Imperial Metals opens its Red Chris copper and gold mine north on Hwy37 North. In the meantime, the airport’s parking lot expansion project, bringing the number of parking spots to nearly 800, is mostly finished.

Stay Safe This Holiday Season! Whether you are going to a fancy work party, or a casual or traditional family get together, it is important to plan ahead and designate a driver for the day/evening. There are plenty of alternative beverages for the designated driver including nonalcoholic beers, for those who still enjoy the real taste of beer without the alcohol. Often party planners will make arrangements for guests to sleep over so that there is no risk whatsoever of people driving while under the influence of alcohol. If your host has organized a lift home for you either with a friend or by running you home themselves, accept graciously - remember if they didn’t want to do it they wouldn’t have offered. Please be advised that this year, motorists can expect to see increased traffic enforcement in a number of locations, in particular Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Terrace. Motorist and passengers are reminded to make arrangements for a safe ride home if they plan to consume liquor. Also wear their seatbelts at all times, as they are less likely to be injured or killed in a motor vehicle collision if they are wearing their seatbelts. Traffic Services will be working in partnership with your local detachment and other agencies to address Road Safety.

Refinery plan study finished By CAMERON ORR WITH A design and feasibility study in tow, Kitimat Clean president David Black now needs to secure government support to make further in-roads in his plan to build an oil refinery north of Terrace area. Black, who is the chairman of Black Press, which owns, among others, The Terrace Standard, announced this month that Hatch Ltd. had completed the study for him, which sets out how the proposed refinery would process 550,000 barrels of diluted bitumen a day in to 460,000 barrels of day of refined fuel—gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel—for export overseas. In a press release, Black said that lenders are willing to put up money for the refinery which would cost an estimated $22 billion but are insisting on “skinin-the-game” from the federal government. Black has been seeking debt guarantees from the federal government, and said he is offering compensation to the federal and pro-

vincial governments to obtain them. Black declined to comment on further details on what “compensation” looks like in this context, although he did say “it’s substantial.” That said, he says he does have conditional support for debt guarantees from the federal finance minister Joe Oliver. Reached for comment to confirm, the federal finance department says it does not comment or speculate on possible actions. Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen, who is also his party’s finance critic, said he’s spoken to people on the issue and said that the reception he’s seen has been lukewarm. “The loan guarantees did not seem to be something they were enthusiastic about,” he said. Cullen said Black has struggled in getting Canadian backers, from the supply side to the financial side, and it would never get built if he can’t get producers on board. That said the ques-

tion of value-added remains important, he said, and the public could be more inclined to pipelines if benefit came back to the people. Black admits that finances are where he has to put his efforts at the moment. “I really think I have to tie down more money here,” he said. “I’ve got to focus on who’s going to provide the money.” He said with this study now done, he really needs the government “to tell me whether they’re coming to the party or not.” With an estimated 3,000 person workforce for the refinery, Black said Hatch’s report puts directly-employed jobs at up to 1,500, while another 1,500 would work

at the refinery on a contract basis. He cites potential for up to 3,000 other jobs with possible petrochemical plants that could open up in conjunction with the refinery. He points out that large volumes of sulphur extracted during the refining process could be used to supply a fertilizer plant, for instance. He said he didn’t know exactly what the particular emissions estimates would be but that carbon dioxide emissions would be about one-third of a normal heavy oil refinery, and would be about 10 million tonnes per year. Black said it has been awhile since he has spoken with the Haisla or

Kitselas about the project, who he specifically names as governments he’ll have to work out economic benefit deals with, but he said he has felt positive based on early conversations with them. Black also needs to purchase the land on which his refinery would sit from the provincial government. And he will need to go through an extensive federal and provincial environmental review. Absent from his release was how he’d get crude oil from Alberta to his refinery. He said he hasn’t focused on that question recently, but is still hoping for a pipeline, but has not ruled out rail. “CN wants to do it, that’s for sure,” he said.

Get to airport early “We have some temporary lights there now from dusk to dawn and next year we’ll be putting in permanent ones,” said Hendry. Still, Hendry is recommending people get a ride to the airport this busy Christmas period instead of driving up and parking.

“And you want to be here early. We’re strongly recommending that – at least an hour-and-a-half before departure. Check in, have breakfast, and then go through security,” said Hendry. “If you come late, you will be left behind,” he noted.

Local skaters hit their marks THE TERRACE Skating Club (TSC) made its way to Prince Rupert for the annual KlaHow-Ya competition two weekends ago and the 14 skaters came home with 17 medals: nine gold, five silver and three bronze. “The skaters had a great energy,” said coach Kelsey Minhinnick. “Their performances were enjoyable to watch and it was especially nice to see their comfort-level on the ice increasing to allow them to really perform to the judges and the audience.” It was also an opportunity for skaters to be evaluated, with the group receiving many gold, silver, and bronze ratings. For Halle Classen, it was her first competition and she brought home a gold medal for her “Riverdance” interpretive. And in the same categody, Teysean Henry skated her new “Rainbow Connection” interpretive and brought home silver, meaning TSC had two skaters on the podium for that event. Brianne Monsen landed her first axel in competition and brought home three medals – two gold, one silver. Camryn Monsen won two bronze medals, and said last week she likes watching the other skaters so she knows what’s coming up at regionals in Quesnel at the end of January. Grade 12 Jesse Thandi, TSC’s oldest skater and highest level competitor in attendence won gold and silver – silver in her freeskate solo and gold in her interpretive event, a performance to Michael Jackson that “blew the roof off the Prince Rupert arena... It was awesome,” said Minhinnick. “She’s going to do something similar at the ice show.” The Terrace Skating Club Christmas Skating Exhibition happens tomorrow, Dec. 18, from 4:45-5:30 p.m.

Terrace hockey feeds Osoyoos Coyotes THREE TERRACE minor hockey graduates are making an impact in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League as part of the red-hot Osoyoos Coyotes, the team that’s sitting at the top of their division and that was a close second in the league’s standings as of last Wednesday. Colton Braid, Ryan Roseboom, and Colin Bell all play on the same line and see a lot of ice time, said coach Ken Law last week. “I’ve got the three of them playing on the line, it’s our Terrace line, our northern line and they’re outstanding,” he said. “They’re all up at the top end of the scoring and doing a good job for us.” As of last Wednesday, Roseboom, #6, was fifth in points for the team, Braid, #4, was sitting at eighth and Bell, #TK, was 11th. The team’s vying for the top spot in the 52-game league with Fernie and are in the hunt for this year’s championship. All three Terrace players – plus two players from Prince Rupert – came out of the Coyotes’ Terrace camp, held for the last two years around April, right before the ice comes off. Law said he wanted to pick up Roseboom last year, but the left-winger decided to stay and graduate with his friends in Terrace. Coaching staff recognized Bell last year, and “this year at camp he’s just one of

those guys that’s so smart with the puck and makes good decisions all the time. He’s as good in the defensive zone as he is in the offensive zone.” Braid’s getting to be a leader on the team and “he’s a guy that plays a lot of minutes for us,” said Law. “That whole line plays a lot of minutes for us. They’ve played together over the years so they all read each other quite well and they just had a chemistry on the ice right from day one.” The team is gunning for a championship

Ryan Roseboom

this year and so far is “playing really well. The guys are all buying in, understanding systems, and we’ve got really good speed and that’s something the Terrace group adds to us too, and the ability to make plays at a high level.” Roseboom’s already become an affiliate player in Chilliwack Chiefs Junior A team, and Law says two to three guys typically move on at the end of the season to play at a higher level. A couple of players have had that oppor-

tunity already this year, but have opted to stay with the Coyotes because they want to win a championship. “The guys are all on the same page, everybody’s working towards the same goal. The dressing room is fantastic, the guys are all so tight,” said Law. That’s in part because they spend so much time together off of the ice, out in the community doing volunteer and networking events. “They all step up and volunteer. We keep them busy – there’s not a lot to do down here, Terrace probably has more to do than we do, we don’t even have a theatre,” he said, laughing. “It’s basically hockey and gym, and the guys that are in school (eight of the players are in school). We play 52 games and practise every day, it’s a huge commitment for the young guys.” And you can bet the team will be looking for more young guys from Terrace to pick up next year. “It’s been a good process for us... It’s kind of our little picking ground, where we like to go, and there are some guys that were close to making it this year that are still playing there,” he said, of the Terrace camp. “So we’re going to try to keep that trapline open and hopefully it keeps paying off every year.”

HERE ARE the Uplands Elementary School girls and boys volleyball teams.

THE UPLANDS girls team met the Uplands boys team in the Grade 6 volleyball tournament final two weekends ago, with the Uplands boys taking the title in a close best-of-three matchup. Both teams won their respective pools, and at the crossover playoff Uplands boys defeated Thornhill and Uplands girls defeated the Veritas boys team to set up the all Uplands best of three final. Uplands boys won the first game while the girls took the second. The tie break game was close all the way with Uplands boys winning the championship 15 – 10. Thornhill took the third place game over Veritas boys. This is the first time the girls have played in the boys tournament in recent memory, said Uplands girls coach and tournament organizer Edward Gray. All teams showed great skill and excellent sportsmanship and he would like to thank all coaches, players and officials for helping to make this season a success.

Cal Kermodes put up a fight THE SENIOR Kermode Boys basketball team travelled to Vanderhoof with a small team of eight players two weekends ago to compete in the Nechako Valley Invitational tournament and put up a good fight with several close matches. The first game against the AAAA Prince George Polars was a tight game throughout. Kermodes led 26 – 20 at the quarter but the Polars took the lead going into the half at 48 – 43. The Kermodes surged back to take the lead but could not sustain it as they went into the 4th quarter down 73 – 66. The fourth quarter saw one lead change before the Kermodes could not find the answer and fell to defeat 96 – 88. Leading the Kermodes on the scoresheet were Gabe Johnso with 22,

Tristan Walker 19, Mason Kroeker 15 and Ryan Kunar with 11. Walker was named player of the game. Game two found the Kermodes up against the Cougars of College Heights. The Kermodes took an early lead and did not look back, winning 60 – 38. Unfortunately, during this game Grade 11 forward Clark Matthews incurred a leg injury and could not play for the rest of the tournament. Leading scorers for the Kermodes were Gabe Johnson with 23, Tristan Walker 15, and Mason Kroeker 13. Down to seven players the Kermodes faced the Duchess Park Condors of Prince George in the consolation final. The Kermodes came out strong, with Walker potting 14 first-half points and the Kermodes taking a 31 – 19 lead going into

was no time to persuade Mike not to make the wade across the river, and had there been, the effort would have been a waste of breath. Once Mike Whelpley he set out to do something, his resolve was almost unshakeable. If I’d had the opportunity to persuade him to reconsider, I would have reminded him that he didn’t have a wading staff. I would have told him the tread on the gumboots glued to the latex waders he was wearing were no more aggressive than those found on deck boots.I would have added that he wasn’t wearing any kind of floatation. I would’ve reminded him that because there was no belt around his waist, a slip meant his elastic Seal-Dri waders would fill up like a balloon with a hundred pounds of Kalum River winter water. To those arguments, I would have added that the floor of the river was constructed from rocks the size of bowling balls to those the size of a roll top desk, that the current was strong, and that the enterprise would have to take place a stone’s throw above a rapid leading into a canyon. After only a few steps, Mike was up to his waist. They were awkward steps. He stopped for a few seconds, steadied himself and pushed upstream into the wall of water. It was as if he was on the downhill side of a large rolling rock. He hesitated again, convinced now that the rock was about to roll over him, and started downstream leaning into the current.

the second half. The Condors persisted though and wore the Kermodes down as they used their 14-man team to press the weary Kermodes. The Condors completed their comeback to take the lead 53 – 52 with .6 seconds left in the game on a shot from just inside the half court line. That’s when the Kermodes ended up calling a timeout and ran a play that ended up with a foul being assessed on a Duchess Park player. That put Gabe Johnson on the line where he promptly tied the game, but missed the second foul shot to send the game into OT. The Kermodes by this time were gassed and eventually fell 58 – 55 in a scrappy over time period.

Snow dances fail SKIERS AND snowboarders were remiss – but perhaps not surprised – to learn that Shames Mountain would not open on the planned date this year. Opening day at the hill was scheduled for last Saturday, Dec. 13, but last week’s heavy rains washed away much of the snow base that had built up over the last several weeks. “I’m sad to have to announce that our snow dances have failed,” wrote Shames general manager Christian Theberge Dec. 10. “We will unfortunately not be able to open this weekend. We have lost a lot of the little base we had with this passed storm. Keep your fingers crossed, burn some old skis and help me will this freezing level down.”

long as Mike had was extraordinary. I was bewildered. Mike was coming back. Using the current to cross at a downstream angle would have put him in the rapid. He had to come back through the deepest, fastest, and trickiest water on an upstream angle. I was sure it was impossible. I realized I was about to watch my buddy drown. I would have to watch helplessly as he was swept into the rapid then hurtled into the jaws of the canyon. I felt empty. I wanted to turn away but was compelled to watch. Mike’s face was red. Each step was a struggle. As he neared the midstream, he began to shake after each one. The river pushed hard, intent on killing him, but he made small gains. I rushed down stream, looking frantically in the bush for a stick to hold out to him if the opportunity presented itself. When I looked back, Mike was up to his thighs. Then he was knee deep. Then, he was ashore sitting in the snow a few feet above the rapids. I sat down next to him. He was still breathing hard. That was some wade, I said at last. There’s a rock on the far side, he said. It’s the size of a pool table. It’s too deep on the downstream side. I just couldn’t get around it. We should name the run the Pool Table, I suggested. We did. To be continued...

Student artwork proceeds help others ECOLE MOUNTAINVIEW students are giving back to other young people with an art show and sale that took place over three days. Julie Fortin-Koga’s Grade 5/6 class painted abstract designs on different sized canvases and are selling them with the money going to Plan Canada. The sale took place at Cafenara and ran from Dec. 11 to 13. Any paintings that weren’t sold by the end of the day Saturday were to be kept by the artists as a reminder of the experience, said Fortin-Koga. Students named, signed and chose an amount to sell their artwork for and as they were being hung up the evening of Dec. 10, one had already sold, a brightly coloured piece called Eclipse by Grade 6 artist Ann Z. There were another 29 works to choose from, including those from Fortin-Koga, principal Maxine Champion and a school assistant.

ECOLE MOUNTAINVIEW Grade 6 students Julia Yoo, Sasha Haldane and Echo Carpino show off some of their Grade 5/6 class’s paintings at Cafenara late last week. All proceeds from the three-day sale are going to Plan Canada.

Xmas Store features locals’ work

APPLE AMENT is looking after the Christmas Store, a pilot project to promote local artists and artisans put on by the 100th Anniversary Celebrations Committee.

IF YOU’RE looking for gifts that are unique and are made locally, and perhaps a free sample of chocolates made here too, the Christmas Store aims to please. Featuring local artists and artisans, the store is a pilot project to showcase local items to let the public know what’s out there to be bought and enjoyed locally. Ten locals have their work featured there, as well as antiques from George Little House. A new and popular addition is Cindy’s Sweet Treats, which sometimes has free samples for customers and a wide selection of flavours to suit anyone and everyone. Custom boxes are available. And the manager Apple Ament dresses for the holiday season and is the perfect person to promote the items and store itself. And Lady Ament will do tea leaf readings by appointment on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The store will be open to the end of the year.

Cultural New Year event needs help NEW YEAR’S Eve this year features a family-oriented night of fun. The New Year’s Eve All Nations Culture Night Celebration is to be an event without drugs or alcohol at the celebration or on the premises, said organizer Gerry Brown. “My thought its to have a cultural new year celebration for all that live in the area and surrounding areas, to promote our singing and dancing and to share a meal,” he said. “I welcome all cultures and nations to attend and participate or both.” But for the event to go on, financial donations are needed for the hall, food, emcee, dance coordinator, drummers, singers, setup and cleanup, says Brown. “Even though we have different backgrounds and are from different communities and areas, I ask that we all work together as our mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers did for their children,” said Brown.

quickly. With this in mind, Hyundai has backed away from the fluid approach to a more sculpted design that shares some styling cues from the top-of-range Hyundai Genesis. The front features a squarer grille opening, edgier bumper and front chin-spoiler. The base model is fitted with the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine has and 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels with LED daytime running lights, halogen headlamps or HID lights on the limited trim. The performance oriented 2.0 Turbo Sport model, seen above, comes with a two-toned front spoiler, 18-inch wheels, standard HID headlamps, quad exhaust tips and a lower diffuser on the rear bumper. The top trim levels of both the 2.4L and 2.0 Sport have a blacked-out section of the front grille which signifies the car comes with adaptive cruise control and a forward collision warning system.

Verdict Hyundai has done it again, delivering a very attractive car, full of features, at an attractive price. 2.4L models range from $23,999 to $32,999 in the top Limited trim. This model has most of the features found in the top 2.0L turbo but without the added power. The base 2.0L turbo starts at $30,999 and the top Ultimate model, seen here, is $34,799. Both the Limited and Ultimate get the forward collision warning system and lane departure safety features, plus they also get adaptive cruise control. For 2015, the Sonata is a big step foreword in design. The added safety features will be attractive and the constant pushing-of-the-envelope from Hyundai is welcome. The Lowdown Power: 2.4L 185hp or 2.0L Turbo with 245hp Fill-up: 9.8L/6.7L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $23.999-$34,799 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Drive Both the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine and the 2.0L turbo have been carried over from the last model but they have been modified to produce better torque delivery and fuel economy. Hyundai has dropped the horsepower output from 198hp to 185hp in the 2.4L and limited the torque to 178hp. The 2.0L turbo also receives a horsepower drop from 274hp to 245hp and the torque drops from 268 lb.-ft to 160 lb.-ft. Hyundai claims that the torque is lower in the RPM range and the fuel consumption is improved. The experience behind the wheel of the turbo is still very invigorating but not as hectic as the last model, it delivers a more usable driving experience. Power is smooth and refined; the turbo feels like a V6 without the accompanying fuel bill.

Peeking through the long lens of Driving Television Driving Television is a slickly produced, fast-paced car show, designed to help regular folks make a sound decision when making the second biggest purchase of their lives – buying a car. When Driveway’s lead test driver Zack Spencer is not writing for you here, he’s in front of the camera co-hosting the top-rated, independently produced, Canadian show with Lacey Elliott. You won’t find me in front of the lens, having looks suited only for print, but recently I spent a day behind the DTV camera, observing Zack and videographer Brian Chow. The action took place in Whistler for the launch of the 2015 Lexus NX. First up was a presentation about the product, and specifically the technology featured in the compact crossover vehicle. While some journos present yawned occasionally and jotted a few notes, Zack wrote feverishly, asking many questions. “They sometimes last an hour or longer but these presentations are extremely important to my day’s work,” advises Zack. “The print guys can take the thumb drive with all the info on it and check it at their leisure later. But I need to leave the room with all the facts and have my questions ready to go.” Minutes later, he’s conducting an interview with Lexus Canada Director Cyril Dimitris, about the importance of this new entry to the fastest growing market segment. The print and online writers have already left for a day on the scenic back roads and a jaunt along the Sea to Sky Highway. We’re striking out on our own. “We do up to 30 launches a year and some manufacturers want people to drive up to 400 kilometres. I always say we are either driving or shooting but we’re not doing both so most manufacturers are happy to let us do our own thing.” Just 15 minutes later, Zack is up Whistler Mountain, doing a standup shot talking knowledgeably to the camera about the NX. Yes, he really was taking notes while many of the rest of us were nodding or slurping the coffee at the Four Seasons Resort. A steep mountain road outside Pemberton was the perfect spot to show off the car in a beautiful location. Well, it was in the breaks between heavy logging trucks passing by. The next couple of hours were spent driving up and down the road to capture in car commentary from Zack. “When we first started (12 years ago) we had to shoot with large TV cameras from the roadside for externals or stuff a camera into the dash to get my remarks while driving,” explains Zack. But new technology has changed all that. Brian shoots with what looks like a regular digital still camera. “The old TV cameras would cost about $100,000 but you can now get great DSLR cameras, designed for video, for around $10,000.” Then there are the tiny $500+ GoPro video cameras that attach anywhere inside or outside, which Brian controls from an app on his iPhone from the passenger seat! Gone are the days of $1,000 an hour helicopter shoots when a $150 remote controlled drone can achieve the same dramatic aerial video. Now it’s back to Vancouver to edit a three- to seven-minute segment for the show. Zack explains the program’s mandate: “Like the Driveway section in print, we are not producing a show for gearheads but for normal people, who just want to know what’s available, for how much, what the safety features are and how fuel efficient a car is.” The show featuring the NX goes to air this Saturday on Global TV across Canada. Check your local listings for times. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca What Zack says about the 2015 Lexus NX Where has the modern station wagon gone? – Nowhere, it’s just called something else—a crossover or small SUV. The edgy design of the NX will turns heads and garner attention but I have come to realize two things about the car business. When a design is rather edgy, it can date quickly. The second is that the initial “bam, look at me” wears off. The exterior might be an acquired taste but the inside is a refined and practical place to spend time. Powering around the mountain resort I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant

does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion, it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. As the small SUV market continues to grow and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while. NX 200t from $40,950, fuel economy - 10.6/8.4 L/100 km (city/hwy) NX 220h (hybrid) from $58,850, fuel economy 7.1/7.7 L/100 km (city/hwy) zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca 2015 LEXUS NX. KEITH MORGAN
