Business group makes play for Thornhill study By JOSH MASSEY THE TERRACE & District Chamber of Commerce has waded into the debate over the future of Thornhill. A letter dated Jan. 12 to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development as well as to the City of Terrace and the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine calls for the ministry to examine alternatives to incorporation including boundary extension and amalgamation. Regional district director for Thornhill Ted Ramsey has already initiated a process through the ministry that will lead to a referendum on whether Thornhill residents want to incorporate, which would mean they would have their own mayor and council, administration and services. Terrace mayor Carol Leclerc has advocated for a broader approach which would include a feasibility study into several governance aspects, including having Thornhill become part of the city. That approach, support-
ed by some council members, was rebuffed by a majority of council members who had a motion passed to have the city take a handsoff approach to Thornhill’s future. Chamber executive director Carol Fielding said the letter was issued not to argue in favour for or against incorporation or amalgamation but instead to make sure the provincial government studies all scenarios before green-lighting Thornhill’s incorporation bid, even if the population votes in favour. “Maybe incorporation is the right idea, but we don’t know. We have people who live in Terrace but their businesses are in Thornhill. We have people who live in Thornhill but their businesses are in Terrace. So there is a lot of crossover.” For this reason, Fielding says the chamber, which has members in Terrace and in Thornhill, has a vested interest in making sure that any changes to the governing system of Thornhill doesn’t harm its members.

Kitselas signs up to pipeline deals STAFF PHOTO
■■ Steady as she goes CALEDONIA GRADE 11 student Ethan Chisholm works on the cylinder head portion of an engine Jan. 23 as part of the regional Skills Canada competition held at Northwest Community College here in Terrace. Looking on is Dave Reinhardt, an instructor at the college who also served as a competition judge. There were other competitions for students in carpentry, welding and culinary arts. Winners of the regional competition have the opportunity to attend a provincial Skills Canada competition in Abbotsford. Skills Canada is a national organization promoting skills training among young people.
THE KITSELAS First Nation has signed three pipeline deals with the province which will provide it with close to $1 million right away, additional payments which could amount to more than $4 million based on construction and a share of ongoing annual payments should natural gas ever start flowing through them. The deals are tied to one pipeline, TransCanada’s Coastal GasLink which would serve the LNG Canada facility at Kitimat, and two pipelines destined for the Prince Rupert area – TransCanada’s Prince Rupert Gas Transmission to serve the Pacific NorthWest LNG plant on Lelu Island and Spectra’s Westcoast Connector Gas Transmission to serve Prince Rupert LNG, a BG Group project. Dollar values of each deal, which are part of an overall provincial pipeline benefits
program aimed at First Nations, are based on the number of kilometres a pipeline travels through a particular First Nation’s territory and other factors. The agreements are also meant to provide, says the province, the certainty needed in order for LNG developers to commit to construction. For each of the three projects, in addition to upfront payments, the Kitselas are to receive payments based on construction – half when construction starts and half when a pipeline goes into operation. In the case of Coastal GasLink, for example, the upfront payment amounts to $230,000 and construction payments work out to $575,00 when construction starts and $575,000 when the pipeline goes into operation.

Disability identity cards wanted by advocate By JOSH MASSEY TERRACE’S MOST active advocate for mental health rights, Yvonne Nielsen, was at the regular council meeting Jan. 12 asking for a letter of support in her campaign to convince the provincial government to issue disability identification cards. “I have read many times or heard on the news about some persons who have autism, acquired traumatic brain injury, strokes, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and are arrested for being drunk when they weren’t,” says Nielsen, who wants the letter sent directly to Premier Christy Clark to make her act on promises to support the disabled. A card issued to all those with
permanent disabilities would allow them to easily let people know what their issues are, she added. Several councillors wanted more information about Nielsen’s advocacy for the permanent disability card, including Michael Prevost and Brian Downie. A motion was then introduced for administration to communicate with the provincial government to get more information about a potential card system. This might explain why the Disability Alliance does not currently support them, a fact that came up in the discussion. The second motion to write Nielsen a letter of support passed, with only councillor Stacey Tyers voting against it, saying she didn’t agree with mandatory dis-
closure for one thing. “I do appreciate all the work that Yvonne has put in,” said Tyers. “I do support the Disability Alliance on this one. [The cards] would be an absolutely incredible thing for people with specific disabilities but it puts people who may not want to disclose their disability in a position where they might not qualify for the same services if they don’t have the card.” Nielsen argued that she had done her research and found the cards would not have to be mandatory, and that people with disabilities could opt out if that’s what they wanted. Nielsen has been a consistent advocate, speaking locally and at conferences elsewhere.

LOCAL WILLIAMS Moving and Storage dispatcher and office manager Glen Peterson in the process of packing up his work belongings after he and 16 others from the Terrace yard were laid off when the company declared bankruptcy last week.
Workers are left idle after bankruptcy filing By JOSH MASSEY THE SUDDEN bankruptcy of Williams Moving and Storage and closure of the Terrace operations on Kalum Lake Road has left its 17 employees scrambling to figure out what they will do next. “Everybody is in limbo, everybody is in shock because most of us have been here for 25, 26 years,” said dispatcher and officer manager Glen Peterson who was helping shut down the offices on Jan. 22 and 23. Williams announced Jan. 21 it would be filing under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and named Deliotte Restructuring to represent them as it attempts to free up any money it can by selling off its remaining assets. The closure meant layoffs for the majority of the company’s 300 workers in B.C. and Alberta and according to UNIFOR Local 114 national representative Mark Cameron whose union represents 125 of the workers, these laidoff employees are in for a “rocky ride”. The collapse of a family-owned company that survived for 86 years was a surprise, said Cameron. “Williams was the best,” he added. Observers said the company never fully
recovered from the recession which began in 2008. Employee of 25 years Alex Aszody said that in actual fact the company had been struggling. Raises never happened, and pensions had been cut to make up for growing shortfalls, he said. And now Aszody is owed $6,800 in vacation pay and wages that UNIFOR says he will only see about half of through a bankruptcy act settlement. As of late last week, ex-employees like Peterson and Aszody – drivers, loaders, and officer workers – were still waiting to find out how much of their travel, vacation and severance they will receive. Customers who have belongings stored at the Terrace facility were unclear last week what would happen to their stuff. “Everything is a little bit up in the air right now because they are now planning to rent this building out and they may be able to keep their storage stuff here but cannot be sure,” said Peterson, adding that customers with items in the 30 or so wood containers have been calling in worried. He said that on the first day of closure, a truck full of Sears mer-
chandise was left in limbo. “A lot of people are coming in wondering what’s going on. One of our ladies who is in storage came in and said ‘I heard last night that it closed down’ so nobody really contacted her as far as letting anybody know.” For its part, Williams had a note on its website on Friday saying that storage facilities were still secure and had a contact number for those who wanted to move their items. It also said that storage clients would be contacted soon by the company and told when they can come collect their items. “It’s been a whirlwind couple of days where I have been trying to figure out what I want to do now and also getting all of our personal items out of here,” Peterson said. “I am really disappointed with the way it was handled,” he said. “It was all peaches and cream. I got a good feeling from that conference call,” he said of his regular Tuesday meeting the day before the notice came. “They tell us on the Tuesday webinars that everything is doing well, it’s going up, it’s going up right. The next day we get an email in the morning saying ev-
erybody’s got to be on a conference call at 3 p.m.” That’s when they were informed the company couldn’t keep its finances afloat, he said. The only exceptions to the closures are Cranbrook and Lethbridge branches which are a separate entity.

Airport establishes passenger record THE NORTHWEST Regional Airport continues to set records with 2014 coming in at 253,368 passengers – the highest ever. The figure is a full 76,000 passengers over the 2013 total which itself was substantially higher than 2012’s total of 139,193 passengers. Airport manager Carman Hendry said the 2014 figure was within his own forecast. “We had budgeted conservatively, we always do, but that’s what I had been expecting,” he said, about increased traffic last year driven by a number of construction projects and liquefied natural gas pipeline and plant preparations. Hendry’s projecting a slight drop in passenger traffic in 2015 compared to the past year based partially on the scheduled completion of Rio Tinto Alcan’s complete overhaul of its Kitimat aluminum smelter. “I think we’ll do
something in the order of 240,000 [passengers],” said Hendry. He did note, however, that the project’s main contractor, Bechtel, rotates its workforce in and out using chartered aircraft and that the airport does not count charter passengers in its passenger totals. Last year that charter total reached 20,800 passengers. Although both Air Canada and Westjet are bringing in Terrace-Calgary nonstop service in late spring, Hendry says that may not necessarily increase passenger traffic. Those now travelling between the two cities have to connect through other airports so the new flights will be more convenient, he said. “They will definitely increase the service we can offer out of Terrace,” Hendry noted of the new connections. December 2014 passenger traffic itself was seven per cent higher than for December
Carman Hendry 2013 with fewer flights affected by weather and other factors. Continued improvements to the airport’s runway lighting system, particularly adding high-powered quartz lighting, have helped pilots making final approaches, said Hendry. “When they come down to 250 [feet] above the ground they have to see the runway. But there will be times if fog is thick when they won’t. That’s the case here just as it is in Vancouver,” he said.

HOTEL GUESTS and Beatrice May and Bruce Johnstone in front of the original hot springs hotel in the early 1920s.
Hot history
The present state of the hot springs at Lakelse Lake is worlds away from its past. Part One.
T
oday, the mineral pools at Mount Layton Hotsprings Resort are not open to the public. The waterslides sag further each year, and half the buildings on the property have sat vacant since a regional economic decline in the 1990s, plastic tacked along the framed windows in the illusion that the halting of construction was momentary. Their present state belies the central role the hot springs played in the history and identity of the northwest region of British Columbia. Located to the east of Lakelse Lake, the cluster of hot springs has been the subject of a series of commercial developments since 1910, beginning with a log-cabin bathhouse built by Bruce Johnstone. But before that, the pools were long frequented by the Tsimshian people, the clay and warm mineral waters at the hot springs traditionally used for healing. Addie Turner, of Kitsumkalum, recalled in a 2004 interview that the hot springs were considered a kind of ‘native hospital.’ In fact, the word 'Lakelse' itself is an anglicization of Lax Gyels, the Sm’algyax word for the site of freshwater mussels. Reports from the turn of the century show that mail carriers broke up their two- to three-week dog-sled routes from Kitimat to Hazelton by warming up by the hot springs pools. That’s how Hank Boss, the Dominion Government Telegraph operator at Kitselas in the early 1900s, learned about the Lakelse hot springs – from the mail mushers stopped at Kitselas. Sensing potential, Boss purchased half of Bruce Johnstone’s pre-emption of the hot springs property and remained a silent partner until he died in 1925. Johnstone was similarly familiar with the hot springs land from working as a government surveyor and at the nearby Lakelse fish hatcheries before he pre-empted the land in 1906. The two men be-
By KELSEY WIEBE gan clearing land with the expectation that Kitimat would be chosen as the western railway terminus, going so far as to build a roadhouse next to the hot springs in 1910 to house the anticipated rail traffic. When the railway was routed to Prince Rupert, instead, Johnstone was undeterred, if disappointed. The lodge at the hot springs served as the first post office on the mail route from Kitimat to Hazelton. On mail day, trappers, settlers, hatchery men, and miners gathered at the lodge to await their letters and to hear news from the outside. The original lodge was located about 1,200 feet from the main hot spring, so water was transported to wooden tubs in an open, gravityfed ‘V’ trough made of two boards nailed together. This first hotel was a two-storey log cabin with 14 bedrooms, a dining room, and a living room, with an adjacent bathhouse and guest cabins. It measured approximately 40 by 60 feet. “You had the tub right there and the water was going by it so when you wanted water to come into the tub you’d just take out a board on the side and push it across there and the water would just come right into the tub,” David BowenColthurst recalled in a 1970’s oral interview. In 1912, Johnstone met Beatrice May Bradley during a winter furlough in Victoria shortly after constructing his first hotel. Bradley’s brother-in-law was the head of the British Columbia Fisheries Department. They were married in the fall of 1913. At that point, Johnstone arranged to sell the hot springs property, and bought a home in Victoria. But the sale of the hot springs fell through, so the newlyweds returned to Lakelse Lake in 1915. Johnstone sold Lakelse Hot Springs, as the business was then called, for a second time in 1921, and again tried to relocate to Victo-
ria. Lloyd, the couple’s only child, attended school in Victoria from 1921 to 1928. In 1928, the sale once again defaulted, and the family resumed operating the lodge during the tourist season. “It must have been a very lonely life for my mother,” Lloyd mused, much later. Beatrice was well-educated, and hailed from a large lumber family in Ottawa. As a newlywed, she moved to Lakelse Lake with Bruce, and was quickly immersed in rural pioneer life. During the summer seasons, she would wake up at 4 a.m. to bake pies, wash clothes by hand, and cook for between 12 and 20 guests. She occasionally had a part-time cook and waitress to assist her, but it nonetheless must have been an extreme adjustment from city life in Eastern Canada. The Johnstone family kept around 15 cows as well as a vegetable garden to feed themselves and the guests at the lodge. Apparently, their garden was much more productive than Terrace settlers due to the minerals in the hot springs water. Today, current owner Bert Orleans pipes the hot springs water into greenhouses, continuing to use the mineral water to grow enormous organic vegetables. Promoted as a health spa in newspapers across the United States and Canada, the lodge had a full register for most of the season, which ran May through October. Johnstone catered mostly to people with rheumatism and arthritis and the spot was also frequented by commercial fishermen from Prince Rupert. In 1991, Lloyd discussed the miraculous cures he witnessed during his tenure at the Lakelse Hot Springs. “I remember one young fellow who had arthritis really bad. They packed him in on a stretcher. Dad didn’t think we could help him, but the fellow said we were
his last hope. He came in August; two months later he walked out on snowshoes. In those days they didn’t have drugs, so people used the spa to get relief,” he said. Visitors would come to the area by rail, then taxi from Terrace to the north end of Lakelse Lake. The first car in Terrace in 1916 was a Stanley Steamer, bought by Ernie Large and his brother to ferry guests to and from the Lakelse Hot Springs – although, it was quickly returned because it was unable to maintain the proper level of steam on the steep hills out to the lake. For communication, there was a single-wire phone system. When visitors were dropped off at the lake, they notified the lodge on crank telephone. A boat would then be dispatched to pick up the guests, who would then carry their luggage or push it in a wheelbarrow along a split cedar plank walk that spanned the half-mile between Lakelse Lake and the hot springs. In the spring of 1929, Bruce Johnstone constructed a second hotel of vertical log construction on the lake shore. It measured about 70 by 40 feet, and featured 12 upstairs bedrooms. Downstairs, there was a large fireplace, dining room, living room, and a few extra bedrooms. Newspaper ads indicate that the hotel fee of $4.25 a night included three meals and “fringe benefits.” The lake shore bathhouse was about the same size as the lodge, but was constructed of horizontal logs. It featured a large fireplace and four to six seven-foot enamel bathtubs. Frank Poe, a wealthy Illinois contractor who retired to Lakelse Lake, financed the construction of a wooden pipeline carrying hot springs water to the lake shore bathhouse between 1930 and 1931. As a result, an uninsulated wirebound wooden pipeline carried hot springs water approximately 5,000 feet from the main hot spring pool
to the lake shore bathhouse. For the first 1,000 feet, the pipe was eight inches in diameter. For the final 4,000 feet, the pipe was six inches in diameter. It was entirely gravityfed. By the time the water arrived at the bathhouse, it had cooled to a perfect temperature for soaking. (Sections of this pipe were recently transferred to Heritage Park Museum by the Kitimat Museum & Archives.) In 1936, the Skeena River flooded, halting passenger trains from the end of May through late August. This destroyed Johnstone’s entire tourist season. Incidentally, Frank Poe had died the year before, and his estranged wife and daughter arrived that fall to settle his estate. Lloyd estimated Poe’s investment in the pipeline at between $6,000 and $8,000. In 1936, at the height of the Depression, Johnstone was unable to settle the outstanding debt, especially because he had no income coming in for much of the 1936 season. Mrs. and Miss Poe were apparently uninterested in extending Frank’s goodwill. As such, Johnstone was forced into foreclosure and lost the Lakelse Hot Springs property. At that time, Lloyd recalled, “he was a very bitter man.” This is part one of three parts. More on the hot springs next week. Kelsey Wiebe is the curator of Heritage Park Museum.

EDITORIAL
Gas prices IN one of those unintended consequences of life, the sudden drop in oil prices beginning late last year has united two forces who in other circumstances are mortal enemies. One is Big Oil, that all encompassing description for the myriad of energy companies doing business around the world. The other is the coalition of groups and individuals consumed with climate change and the need, they say, for people to save the world from their own actions. The common target of each group is the lowly consumer, the person who suffered through the times of prices in the $1.40 and higher range a litre and who is now paying less than $1 a litre. Both Big Oil and the climate change coalition seem to think the consumer should feel guilty because of the lower prices. In the world of Big Oil, lower energy prices mean reduced profits and cuts to budgets. Somehow, they believe, you should be happy to pay higher prices as your patriotic duty to support the economy. The climate change people want the consumer to feel guilty because, by paying less at the pump, that somehow translates into more environmental damage. As sure as the spring rains will visit Terrace, the price of oil will rise. And all will be well within the world of Big Oil and the climate change crowd. In the meantime, back off and let the consumer enjoy these lower prices. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

reader posted this comment January 16 on The Terrace Standard’s web-
site: “In Safeway parking lot yesterday, three able-bodied drivers pulled in, almost all at once in their pickup trucks. Two trucks had company ID on the doors. Together, they took up six prime parking spots near Safeway’s doors – two of them for handicapped...and three in no parking zones.” Maybe, like Dr. Niles Crane’s TV wife on “Fraser,” these truck drivers believe their chocolate allergies entitle them to handicapped parking. You can feel this reader’s frustration with these inconsiderate drivers. But what to do about them? SPARC BC, the Social Planning and Research Council of B.C. who assign handicapped parking permits to disabled drivers, has an accessibility and enforcement line that community members and bylaw officers can call to report situations where people misuse disability parking spaces. “We encourage a zero tolerance for abuse/misuse of

Bet the company would be displeased to find one of their trucks blatantly ignoring handicapped parking rules; it mars their expensively refined public image as good corporate citizens. “At the time of the 2011 Census,” SPARC says, “there were 2,910 people in Terrace with health or activity limitations. With an aging population, it is anticipated that the number of people with disabilities and serious health conditions will increase, which will further increase demand for these spaces.” With downtown Terrace squeezed for parking spaces now, where will everyone park in the future?

If illegal handicapped parking is a recurrent bother to you, pre-program your phone with SPARC’s contacts, and include City Hall, Terrace’s bylaw officer, and the RCMP. Enforcement of handicapped parking on private property such as Safeway, Save-on-Foods or Walmart is the responsibility of the property owner, but the RCMP can, if so inclined, ticket any vehicle illegally parked anywhere at any time. SPARC “appreciates the recent planning efforts of the City of Terrace to respond to community concerns about downtown parking and enforcement. In particular, we applaud them for engaging with the community around this issue and looking into expanding their bylaw enforcement team. If illegal handicapped parking is to be curbed, we all need to be vigilant and report abusers. To avoid personal confrontations, report abusers by phone or email.

Pool reno looks just great now
Dear Sir: When I made the decision to move and live in this beautiful community five years ago, one of the first things I inquired about with the front desk attendant at the local hotel I was staying at was whether or not Terrace had an aquatic centre. I moved from the community of Prince George where the aquatic centre was, and still
T
is, one of the jewels of its various community facilities. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that indeed Terrace did have an aquatic centre, however, I must admit it was hard to compare with the modern facility in Prince George. With the recent completion of the renovated west wall of the Terrace Aquatic Centre, it now feels like the entire build-
ing has been renovated. The addition of glass windows allowing natural light to come into the building has transformed the energy within and improved the overall ‘feel’ of the place. There is also a new air exchange that noticeably helps create a healthier environment. I applaud the local contractor Genuine Contracting for
doing such a great job! As a regular member, I assure you the improvements are appreciated by everyone who uses the facility. I highly recommend this local company be given the first opportunity to build Terrace a new community centre. Thanks for a job well done. Corey Bonnar, Terrace, B.C.
Dear Sir: Re: the Steelhead Society of BC, Northern Branch proposal to establish fly-fishing only on certain rivers in Region 6 – Skeena. The Steelhead Society of British Columbia’s January 2015 newsletter outlines the society’s continued diligent and relentless efforts, with many projects all over B.C., to preserve and enhance B.C.’s fragile wild Steelhead populations. Well done and our hats off to all these members who dedicate countless hours without compensation to these worthwhile projects. At the society’s Jan. 24, a proposal was brought up as outlined in the newsletter, “which is at the exploratory stage, is to establish a fly-fishing only regulation for the Copper (Zymoetz) and its tributaries from about mid-October until the angling season closes on January 1. The reason for this proposal is that during mid-October, summer steelhead are starting to school up in holding water and they become much more vulnerable to excessive catch and release numbers. “It may even be necessary to have a hook size/fly size restriction to reduce the catching effectiveness of a larger fly and hook penetrating a vital artery.” Locals should be concerned with this proposal. Firstly, whenever a species is at risk, the sensible and usual action is simply to close the area. How solving a problem by allowing one group fishing privileges while denying another is beyond comprehension. The fact is a flyfisher can and will out fish a no bait gear fisher any day. If one group is to be banned for the reason as stated, the obvious solution is to ban the flyfishers; however, this is just as preposterous as to what is being proposed.

A hearty thanks for paying your taxes
he day we were hit by the season’s worst (so far) snowstorm was also the day I received my property assessment notice. I would have been delighted by the gain in our property’s value had it not been for the warning that it “will likely result in a tax increase in 2015.” It was no consolation that I did not have to trudge through snowdrifts to pick up the good news at a community mail box; Canada Post delivered it to my door. The occasion was an invitation to write a column about property taxes and municipal services. To get accurate information, I contacted the city and was referred to its web page (will I ever get used to the Internet?) where I found the information I was looking for. I set out to rationalize and evaluate the relative merits of quality and quantity of municipal services and the impact of their costs on my lifestyle.
If not for the editor’s strict 630-word limit for this column, I would by now be working on volume two. Fresh out of the shower, the coffee pot percolating, I watched the plow truck drive by my house, followed by the garbage truck picking up this week’s recycling. How much does all of this – water, sewer, road maintenance and waste collection, to say nothing of police and fire services, parks maintenance, and more – cost? How much tax should I have to pay? Taxing real estate on the basis of its assessed market value is a long-established source of revenue for local governments. Property taxes are meant to be a tax on wealth, yet in a majority of cases residential property is mortgaged, which means that at least a share of the tax is a tax on debt. Why do we not tax banks and other lenders for the value of
GUEST COMMENT
ANDRE CARREL the mortgages they hold, which are their assets, and tax property owners for the difference? As a pensioner, I will be lucky if my income’s purchasing power will remain constant this year, lower gas prices notwithstanding. It is only because of the number of people who mortgaged their future to purchase a new
home, thereby raising demand and with that sale prices, that I may be liable for a greater share of the revenues needed to pay for municipal services. What emerged as an unquestionable truth in my attempt to determine if the city was providing me with fair value for my property taxes was the realization that, were it not for the taxes paid by everybody else, I would be up the proverbial creek without a paddle. The real value of that axiom known as the common good is that the value of what we, citizens individually, receive for the taxes we pay is far greater than what we could hope to receive if we had to purchase every common good service provided by the municipality from suppliers in the private sector. That is not at all to denigrate the private sector. Without the range of supplies and services provided by a healthy private sector, the munic-
ipality would not be able to deliver the common good services we take for granted. French philosopher André Comte-Sponville lists gratitude as one (#10) of 18 virtues in his 1995 bestseller A Small Treatise of the Great Virtues. “The egoist,” Comte-Sponville ponders, “is ungrateful not because he doesn’t like to receive. He is ungrateful because he doesn’t like to acknowledge his debt to others and gratitude is this acknowledgment.” He contends that gratitude is the secret of friendship because of what we share in common with friends. This column is my thank-you to my fellow citizens for their many contributions to the community’s common good, an immeasurable contribution to the quality of life I am privileged to enjoy.

Kitselas inks LNG deal The upfront payments were worth 20 per cent of the overall agreements for the Kitselas because they signed before the end of December. Had they signed this year, that payment would have been reduced to 15 per cent. Construction-related payments for the two pipelines bound for Prince Rupert area LNG plants could, however, vary depending upon how close one is built to the other. Should a portion of one or other of the two pipelines be built within 70 metres of the other, the construction payment will be reduced. “This considers the reduced impact that additional natural gas pipelines would have on a First Nation’s traditional territory if the pipelines are in close proximity to one another,” stated the province in releasing details. In return for the money, the Kitselas First Nation has agreed to support the projects.

Keep angling open Secondly, these regulation changes are time consuming and involve laborious negotiations with many different levels of government departments thus once implemented are difficult to reverse. New regulations also have a tendency to creep. For example, recently banning non-Canadians on certain days and waters, now banning certain Canadian groups, what/who is next? Thirdly, and the most important reason to be concerned, further restrictions will deny many youth from enjoying this sport. Fly-fishing is more expensive at the entry level, more difficult to learn with the many different
knots and lines, and more difficult technique wise than gear fishing. My two children grew up camping and fishing in the Skeena region. We have hundreds of photos of them enjoying the sport and the outdoors. I am convinced one of the main reasons they were responsible youths and now are well rounded adults is because of their fishing and outdoors experience. They would have been denied this if the rule was fly-fishing only. If fishing is open, let it be open to all, particularly youths, not reserved for one select group. Dan Morrow, Trail, B.C.
Salmon over LNG Dear Sir: Regarding the two people protesting the location of Pacific Northwest LNG by Lelu Island. Brenda Wesley and Christie Brown are First Nation and are trying to make a very valid point. The Lelu Island area at the mouth of the Skeena River is very important for supporting baby salmon as they emerge from fresh to salt water. The small fry spend a period of time adjusting to the
salt environment. Large beds of eel grass gives them cover as they seek food and avoid predators. Pacific Northwest LNG plan to conduct their operations right over this sensitive area. Salmon have been a traditional mainstay for First Nations, the economy and the ecology. Once you break one link in a chain of evolved dependency the whole system is put at risk.

Quebec company adds land THE PROJECT intended to be the showcase on the City of Terrace’s ability to provide affordable housing has changed hands. Calgary firm Coast to Coast, which bought the 2.4 acres at 3304 Kenney (the corner of Park and Kenney) in the Horseshoe last year from the City of Terrace under the condition it provide affordable housing, has now turned the development over to another company with which it has a close relationship, Quebec-based ROI Land Investments. Of a planned 105 townhouse-style complex, 22 are to be considered affordable and be provided at a rental rate that’s 20 per cent less than normal. Regardless of who now may own the property, city official David Block says the affordable housing component is locked in. “This agreement is registered on title and transfers to any new owner,” said Block. The relationship between Coast to Coast and ROI is very close with the latter generally supplying the financing for construction-ready developments undertaken by the former. The companies use a construction company called Intactus for their projects and in Terrace that relationship so far has taken the form of the six-unit Kenney Gardens townhouse complex at 3320 Kenney, right next door to 3304 Kenney. Construction of at least some of the units at 3304 Kenney was expected to have started last year. ROI president Philippe Germain now says construction will go ahead on a portion of the units. “We’re working with an investor and Intactus to start a portion,” he said last week. The plan is for the investor to finance the construction of two blocks of 12 units each by April, Germain continued. Additional construction will come as more investors are lined up, he said. Germain said ROI was drawn to the area by the prospect of growth spurred by the potential for a liquefied natural gas industry.
It has also purchased land in Kitimat for residential development. While ROI is pursuing investors for its 3304 Kenney project in Terrace, it has built up its land inventory elsewhere. Last year, it added 4922 Park Ave. immediately to the east of 3304 Kenney. At approximately 1.749 acres in size, the property was listed as being purchased for $750,000 last September. At one time, both properties were the location of a provincial transportation ministry works yard, long since demolished. ROI is promoting a 72-unit apartment complex at that location. The company also added property last year on the southside, just under 1.5 acres at 4804 Graham where South Eby intersects with Graham. That carried a sales price of $285,000 and ROI is promoting a 56unit apartment complex

Kitimat-Stikine Temporary Use Permit Bylaw No. 651, 2015 In general terms, the purpose of the proposed Temporary Use Permit Bylaw is to permit a temporary use of property that is not otherwise permitted by the Greater Terrace Zoning Bylaw No. 37. The applicant wants to mine sand and gravel on a portion of vacant Crown Land described as District Lot 1730, Range 5 Coast District, Except Plans 7454 & 10762 & Except Block A. The site is located on the east side of Highway 37 south east of Terrace across from the Northwest Regional Airport. The land is zoned Low Density Rural (R2) in Bylaw No. 37 which does not permit the proposed use. The Temporary Use Permit Bylaw would allow the mining of sand and gravel to take place on an approximately 12 hectare site for a term of three years with a one-time option to renew.
The Public Hearing on Kitimat-Stikine Temporary Use Permit Bylaw No. 651, 2015, is to be held by Directors Ted Ramsey, Jessica McCallum-Miller and a Director from the City of Terrace or their designated alternates as delegates of the Regional District Board. A copy of the Board resolution making the delegation and a copy of the proposed bylaw may be inspected at the offices of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, 3004545 Lazelle Avenue, Terrace, BC between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday, except statutory holidays.

WestJet plans Calgary flights AREA RESIDENTS will have another airline to fly them directly to Calgary starting this summer. WestJet announced Jan. 19 it will be adding a new non-stop daily flight May 3 from Calgary to Terrace through its WestJet Encore service. For this flight, WestJet will use the Bombardier Q400 NextGen aircraft, which is the same plane it is using right now to fly in and out of the airport to Vancouver and back, said Northwest Regional Airport manager Carman Hendry. Late last year, Air Canada announced it would be flying nonstop between Terrace and Calgary, starting in June. Regional carrier Hawkair, through affiliated company Central Mountain Airlines already offers Terrace to Calgary service via a connection in Prince George. Both Air Canada and WestJet had certain times they requested for arrivals and departures and both were able to get their first request, said Hendry. “Everything fit in perfectly for these routes and I think it’s pretty good timing,” he said, referring to the passenger numbers that pick up in the summertime. Calgary is the home for many energy companies planning LNG developments here and a hub for flights into the United States.

They experienced youth gov’t FIVE CALEDONIA Senior Secondary students are encouraging others to go to youth parliament after having their chance to sit in the legislature, experience politics first-hand, and return with a better knowledge of the system. Thomas Christensen, Amee deViveiros, Ryan Kunar, Seth Scott and Theodoric Weicksel spent a week at the legislature that proved to be busy – they spent 14 hour days there – and helped several decide for sure that they want to go into politics. Theo says he was thinking about political science at university and gas a carer and now he’s sure that’s what he wants to do. “It solidified that for me,” he says,
The experience also let Seth know he was on the right track and he will focus on a career in politics too. “It pretty much was what we’re learning in socials but it was first-hand experience,” says Seth. You can read about what happens in government in a book but to be there, be part of voting and hear everyone banging on the desk when you make a good point brings it to life, says Amee. Sitting in socials class is just desks and chairs when being there is so different, says Ryan, the only one who isn’t interested in a career in politics but is glad he went for the knowledge of how the system works. They all say the best part, besides being
in the legislature, was meeting students from across the country and making lifelong friends. The students were able to sit in the legislature because the government was not in session. During their time as MLAs, they passed bills that affect their lives, which was great, says Seth. He adds that they could discuss ideas and even if others disagreed, they would respect your opinion and listen without argument. They have projects to do over the next year that will help other youths. The students encourage others to apply. Definitely if you’re into public speaking or service, even if you’re not sure that’s what you want to do, says Amee.
LITERACY GOES far beyond reading and writing. Having conversations about how things work, about computers and cars, about bridges and tunnels, about counting cards and saving money, about fixing things and how things work all inspire children’s learning. Music, building, painting, dancing, collecting, and drawing are some of the ways that children express themselves. Parents and children can see for themselves at Terrace’s Community Literacy Committee’s free Learning for Life: Activities for the Whole Family, The committee invites families from any community to try out activities featuring science, technology, engineering, arts and math. Presenters include a variety of educators and community groups, who love seeing families learn together in fun and exciting ways, said Coco Schau, event organizer. “Literacy is enhanced by sharing a variety of experiences, having conversations, telling stories and exploring together,” she said. “Parents of young children can encourage their children’s curiosity, observing the world around and asking questions.” For more information on Learning for Life, see Community Calendar on page 12.
You could save local insect-eating bats BY MARGARET SPEIRS SCIENTISTS CONDUCTING a winter study of bats are looking for some help from the public which could help the flying mammals avoid dying from a parasitic fungal disease that’s killed millions in the last decade. Cori Lausen, associate conservation scientist for the Wildlife Conservation Society of Canada, is tracking bat movements in the region in the winter, which is their hibernation time. That’s to provide data for how bats normally behave so scientists have this information in case White Nose Syndrome, a deadly parasitic fungus that grows on them during hibernation and changes their behaviour, comes here. The study began in 2009 in the Kootenays and expanded around the province, she says. The equipment monitors bat movements by recording the distinct
ultra-sonic sounds that flying bats make as each species makes a distinct set of frequencies. On bats studied down east, the fungus would raise the bats’ metabolic rates while they were hibernating so they start burning more fat than normal, and that’s a factor in their deaths, says Lausen. And they will arouse from hibernation every couple of days. When the study first began, scientists had no idea what to expect and what their detecting equipment would record. “The surprise to us was the diversity. A lot more species were flying around in the winter and there was a lot more activity as well,” says Lausen. It’s not known why bats go out in the winter, says Lausen. It’s been hypothesized that they’re starving and go out looking for food but when these bats were caught, they were fat and certainly weren’t hungry,
she says. And they seem to have their temperature limit for venturing out too. “I’ve never reported [a bat out in winter] at lower than -8 C,” she says. “There’s something magic about that number.” When it comes to hibernation, all small mammals will arouse from hibernation every couple of weeks – they don’t ‘wake up’ because hibernation isn’t a state of sleep, but is a state of dormancy where the animal has a low metabolic rate, she explains. “It’s like bats have this extra need beyond what any small mammal does,” she says, referring to bats flying in winter. We can anticipate that if there’s a severe reduction in bats, that will skyrocket the amount of nighttime insects, which they eat, says Lausen. And bats can hibernate in a variety of places that aren’t expected. “It’s amazing how many people have taken

the bark, which was “bubbled,” she adds. The man described the bat to Lausen and she had tracked other bats like it to the same type of roost elsewhere, she says.
About 50 per cent of bat hibernation locations have been discovered in the province and Lausen is asking people to contact her if they find or know of such a location
so it can be added to the study. People who know of local or regional hibernation spots for bats can contact Lausen at clause@wcs.org.

M
y thoughts are all over the place today, flitting here, darting there, from dark and muddy places as dreary as my sodden yard to joy-inducing, lightfilled bright spots, as beautiful as sunshine through blue and amber glass. I wanted to write an inspiring January note for you all, some wise words on motivation, an encouragement about how to stick to a plan, or how to set and achieve goals, but instead I find myself dwelling on a little thing that, the older I get, seems not so little after all: the power of a kind word. I learned this lesson personally when I was 15 or 16 or so. Picasso has his blue period; I had my black phase. For a long time I dressed in black from head to toe, and wore heavy kohl eyeliner. “Goth” wasn’t really a thing yet, in Terrace, at least, but my clothing was dramatic enough to single me out sometimes. I’m still amazed at some of the responses I got to such an innocuous thing as wearing all black—but this is not about the rotten stuff people say and do. It’s about the shiny, lovely things. My mom and dad hated my “ghoulish” attire and makeup, thought it was at best inappropriate for a young girl (who should wear bright “happy” colors) and at worst “sluttish.” I loved my black wardrobe for many reasons—and still gravitate to the shade—and I don’t think you have to be morbid, obsessed with death or depressed to revel in black . . . but I was depressed. Sad. Lonely. And I will admit that some days, maybe I was sort of saying, This is me. I don’t fit in. See? (At this point, I have to stress, you cannot and should not assume anything about a person’s mood or morals or anything else by what they wear. Usually clothes are just clothes, fashion—and despite my confession above, the biggest reason behind my
JUST A THOUGHT

Uncomplicated kindness clothing choices was esthetic. I just loved black.) Anyway, I’d had a bad weekend to top off a bad week that topped off a bad month that—okay, I guess I could just say I was feeling low. I was at church with my family, the service had ended, and I was being subjected to after church “fellowship” in the foyer. My mom, for reasons I now think I understand, yet still don’t make sense, decided to publicly nag me about my clothing again. Yes, it felt awesome, as humiliations and conflicts always do. To this day, I remember my outfit with fondness. It was quintessential ’80s Ev: Black spandex leggings. Black pointy-toed ankle boots. A black tank top with an off the shoulder, long black sweatshirt. A boxy
black denim jacket. I’m sure my hair was a blow-dried mess, and may or may not have had some purple in it. My eyes were pointed like a cat’s. I looked rad. But also out of place in the room of equally ’80s fashionable—yet polar opposite of “alternative”—ice cream pink, mint and yellow sweaters and polo shirts. Regardless of how much I liked what I was wearing and felt good in it, I was hurt and angered by my Mom’s vented disapproval and obvious embarrassment about me. Suddenly, a twinkly-eyed woman with short grey curls piped up, “You don’t like Ev’s look? Really? Whenever I see her I always think, wow, she looks so flamboyant!” She proceeded to add that she’d read the newspaper and noticed I’d made the honor roll, adding a cheery, “Again. Good for you!” Conversation rolled on and I escaped— and I’m sure she had no idea that her small comment turned on a comforting light that only grew brighter with the years: Someone will like you, whether you’re a bit different or not. You’re okay. Twenty-five years later, I still recall the power of that moment and the gratitude I felt for her kindness. She saw me, not just my exterior. We all live with varying degrees of insecurity, doubt, worry, fear. . . . No one needs more criticism or condemnation. We all could use a quiet, I see you—the real you. I like you. I accept you. And who knows? Maybe a casual, encouraging word we give off the cuff will end up being the light that gets someone else through some dark time. Wishing you a year of kindness—to yourself and to others, Ev

Camping fees increase PROVINCIAL CAMPSITE fees are going up locally and around the province this spring as the government tries to match revenues with expenditures. Increases vary between $2 and $5 a night depending upon location and amenities. At the large provincial campground at Lakelse Lake, the nightly fee is rising $3, from $25 to $28. At smaller sites such as Kleanza and at the Nisga’a Lava Bed Memorial Park, the nightly cost is rising from $16 to $18. Group rates at Lakelse Lake remain at $100 and the sani-station use fee stays at $5. The $3 fee hike takes in 40 provincial campgrounds around the province while 141 of B.C.’s 204 provincial campgrounds will see a $2 increase.
The environment ministry says this is the first province-wide increase in fees since 2010. The ministry says the varied rate increases take into account local demand and economic conditions as well as private camping availability. The province collected about $17 million from its park and recreation fees last year, while spending $22 million on direct park operating costs. Campsite use is on the rise in B.C. since the introduction of an online reservation service called Discover Camping, which opens for the season at 9 a.m. on March 15. The system handled 133,000 reservations last year, nearly a 10 per cent increase over 2013. A program tried and then abandoned approximately 10 years ago, charging for parking at campgrounds, is not being reintroduced.

New directors named to college board THERE ARE some new faces around the Northwest Community College board table, with the appointment of three new members to the currently eightmember board late last year. Paul Bjorn and Lucy Praught, both of Terrace, and Devrie Lapointe of Kitimat, were appointed as governors on the board by the provincial lieutenant-governor in council on Dec. 19, 2014 to terms that expire Dec. 31, 2015. They join the five sitting board members, Judy Carlick-Pearson from Prince Rupert, vice-chair Tom Euverman from Houston, chair Herb Pond from Prince Rupert, Gurvinder Randhawa from Prince Rupert and Donny van Dyk from Terrace. Bjorn’s biography lists him as treasurer for the Rotary Club of Terrace-Skeena Valley and branch manager of McElhanney Consulting Services Limited. Praught, a graduate of NWCC and UNBC, is principal and CEO of Spirit Strategies Limited, a community engagement and economic development firm. She ran unsuccessfully for Terrace city council in last year’s municipal elections. Lapointe is a board
member of the Kitimat Rotary Club and the co-ordinator of regional economic development for Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat aluminum smelter modernization project.
The three fill seats left vacant when former chair and Prince Rupert resident Rhoda Witherly, and board members Carol Fielding, Nika Collison and Adrian Carlick stepped down.
Herb Pond, the new chair as of last year who replaced Rhoda Witherly, works for the BG Group, one of the proponents wishing to build a liquefied natural gas plant at Prince Ru-
pert. The directors now number eight, but that number can increase should the province wish. Appointed members receive remuneration
of $3,000 and the chair receiving $4,000, with that remuneration prorated to the month they were appointed in. For the 2013-2014 term, there were nine board meetings and one board
governance session. Directors are chosen from communities within the college’s coverage area which ranges from Haida Gwaii in the west to Houston in the east.

Local in running City’s population dips for MP’s spot A TERRACE resident says he’s in the running for the Conservative Party of Canada nomination in the SkeenaBulkley Valley riding for this year’s federal election. Tyler Nesbitt, 31, is a manager with Nechako Northcoast, the company with the provincial road maintenance contract in the area. “I believe that most people across the northwest have an ideology similar to mine: fiscally conservative and socially moderate,” said Nesbitt in a release, adding he might be called a “compassionate conservative.” Born and raised in Prince Rupert, Nesbitt has lived in Terrace since 2009. He has a B.A. in anthropology from UBC WARM
last fall. The SkeenaBulkley Valley riding stretches from Haida Gwaii and the north coast to the east where it does not include Vanderhoof but does include Fort St. James. The riding has been held since 2004 by New Democrat Nathan Cullen who claimed 53 per cent of the vote in the last federal election held in 2011. This year’s federal Tyler Nesbitt election is scheduled for October but there is and is a French immer- speculation Prime Minsion graduate from the ister Stephen Harper Prince Rupert school might want to hold it in district.

TERRACE’S POPULATION has dropped from 11,688 in 2011 to 11,265 last year, estimates the provincial government’s statistics agency. Just from 2013 to 2014 the drop from 11,458 to 11,265 people represents a decline of 1.7 per cent, says BC Stats. But within the unincorporated areas of the Kitimat-Stikine regional district, which would include Thornhill and the rural area surrounding Terrace as well as the region running north to Dease Lake and east to the Hazeltons, the population grew – from 16,382 in 2011 to 18,098 in 2014. From 2013 to 2014, the unincorporated population increase from 17,506 people to 18,098 people worked out to 3.4 per cent in just that one year.
When municipal and rural populations were taken into account within the Kitimat-Stikine regional district, the total population rose from 38.687 in 2013 to 39,169 in 2014, an increase of 1.2 per cent. Kitimat’s population, on the other hand, grew one per cent from 8,367 in 2013 to 8,452 in 2014. Expectations of population increases tied to the potential for a liquefied natural gas industry in the northwest notwithstanding, the population of Prince Rupert has also declined. BC Stats reports that Prince Rupert’s population dropped 2.9 per cent from 12,275 people in 2013 to 11,918 people in 2014. The population in Smithers also declined – by one per cent
between 2013 when 5,246 people lived there to 2014 when 5,103 people lived there. Prince Rupert, Smithers and Terrace were among the top 10 municipalities of more than 5,000 population to experience the greatest percentage population drops from 2013 to 2014. The provincial population rose 1.1 per cent from 2013 to 2014 or approximately 49,000 people to 4,631,302. Of all incorporated areas of more than 5,000 people, Lake Country, between Kelowna and Vernon in the Okanagan, at 5.6 per cent had the highest percentage growth. Provincial statisticians base their population projections using the 2011 federal census and making adjustments by using data such as the number of residential hydro hook ups.

MP urges feds to sign deals By ANNA KILLEN SKEENA-BULKLEY VALLEY NDP MP Nathan Cullen says he was “surprised and somewhat shocked” to learn Kitselas and Kitsumkalum have been waiting nearly two years for the government to sign off on the nations’ agreements in principle (AIP) so that they can move on to the next step in treaty negotiations. Cullen, also his party’s finance critic, said the holdup is indicative of a government that is disconnected from the moves that need to happen on the ground in order for resource negotiations with First Nations to move forward. “It was the government who agreed and negotiated this with the Kitselas (and Kitsumkalum) people ... When you have a willing community and good faith and you make everybody wait for two years before you act, it shows
that this isn’t a priority and that they just don’t get it,” said Cullen, of the federal Conservative government. “It’s a political problem but more importantly, it’s an economic problem.” Kitselas and Kitsumkalum negotiators signed off on AIPs in January of 2013. By the spring, both AIPs were approved through votes by Kitselas and Kitsumkalum members, with the understanding B.C. and Canada would soon follow. Last 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 the federal aboriginal affairs ministry indicating late last year that the AIPs were still under review. Cullen said that after learning of the situ-
ation from Kitselas, he moved to meet with the minister to find out what the holdup is but noted he’s yet to receive a satisfying answer. “Usually once an agreement like this gets an approval, it’s relatively quick,” said Cullen Friday, Jan. 23. “Really I’m at a loss (as to why it hasn’t been finalized yet).” He continued, “it’s like going to go buy a car and you negotiate the price and then the dealership goes away for two years – are you going to stick around waiting for them? If you’ve agreed on the price and everybody’s said so, what’s the problem? And that’s what’s confusing.” There had been some chatter in the past that overlapping land claims issues between the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum nations and the Gitxsan could be contributing to the delay, but Cullen said he brought up the

make the intellectual link between First Nations and the resource economy. It’s the Ottawa bubble again,” he said. Cullen said that this file is going to be on his agenda when he returns
to Ottawa when Parliament resumes this week and he will be putting pressure on the government to finalize the AIPs. “Let’s get this done, or why not? What can we do to bring certainty,” he said.

Man named in MLA’s suit denies a key allegation By ANNA KILLEN THE MAN being sued for defamation by Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin because of statements made at an all candidates forum during the May 2013 provincial election campaign is denying the incident was a scheme between him and one of Austin’s political opponents. That’s just one of a handful of amendments filed earlier this month to Terrace resident Jim Lynch’s response to Austin’s civil claim against him. In that claim, first filed in the BC Supreme Court nearly a year ago, Austin says Lynch’s comments at an April 2013 all candidates meeting, in which he alleged Austin abused a foster child, characterize Austin as a sexual predator and not worthy of his standing in the community and of his position as a public official. Austin is claiming general, aggravated, punitive and special damages against Lynch and also against Michael Brousseau, the BC Conservative candidate who
Robin Austin
Michael Brousseau
ran against Austin in that election and in the previous 2009 provincial election. The original suit filed against Lynch included a “John Doe” who was then described as Brousseau in the amended suit, filed Oct. 2, 2014. Brousseau “incited, assisted and/or encouraged the defendant Lynch …” in the comments made at the April 30, 2013 all candidates meeting held at the Terrace Pentecostal Assembly. This then makes Brousseau a “joint publisher of the April 30, 2013 statements,” reads Austin’s suit. In Lynch’s amended response, it now says
“the defendant denies there was any common design, plan, or scheme between him and the defendant, Michael Brousseau, when he made the statements, or at all.” It goes on to say that Lynch acted “entirely on his own in making the statements” and that Lynch does not know Brousseau, other than from minimal contact from when Brousseau was campaigning. Brousseau has also maintained he did not know Lynch nor scheme with him and that Austin’s claim against him is politically motivated.
Speaking late last year, Brousseau said he encountered Lynch once when he was out door knocking in support of his candidacy. During the all candidates meeting held at the Terrace Pentecostal church, Lynch, in a statement contained in a question to Austin and included as a transcript of comments made at the meeting in the court documents, said he had got to know a girl who was once a foster child of Austin and his wife. He said she told him of sexual abuse and when he asked her why she did not go to the authorities, he said she wondered who would believe her. “I really felt for the girl because we got to [be] buds,” the transcript of Lynch’s comments continued. The transcript was included in court filings associated with the suit. Lynch took back his statements and issued a formal retraction and apology to Austin after being contacted by Aus-
tin’s lawyers and after investigating the claim further. A letter sent to Austin through his lawyer May 8, 3013 and included in the court documents reads that Lynch “belatedly investigated his source more thoroughly and again spoke to the child’s foster mother … he is convinced the foster child duped him into believing her and there was no basis whatsoever for her statement to him” and that he “is now convinced that there was no truth whatsoever to the allegation she made to him, that he believed and then repeated at the all candidates meeting.” The suit has yet to be heard in court and no trial date has been finalized.

Rupert warms to benefits alliance By SHAUN THOMAS THE CITY of Prince Rupert has agreed, in principle, to join the Northwest BC Resource Benefits Alliance. The Prince Rupert council voted at an incamera meeting on Jan. 12 to sign a confidential memorandum of understanding “subject to further governance discussions” that will see them join an alliance that includes Terrace, Kitimat and the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. The goal of the alliance is to present a united front to the provincial and federal governments when it comes to ensuring a fair share for northwest municipalities as liquefied natural gas exports and other resourcebased industries turn their eyes to the region. “There will be a potential of $16-32 billion dollars of new revenue available to the province through LNG and other industries in Northwest B.C., and the RBA is designed to negotiate as a collective voice with the B.C. government to receive a fair distribution of those resources” said Prince Rupert mayor Lee Brain. “At this stage, council feels it to be a low risk to join the RBA, and it also does not limit our ability to negotiate taxation agreements directly with potential LNG companies here in Prince Rupert.” Shaun Thomas is the editor of The Northern View in Prince Rupert.

People can’t say goodbye any more. They say last hellos. After an extended illness, Marion Purschke (Poynton) passed away January 21, 2015 in Victoria B.C. Marion was predeceased by her husband Al Purschke, parents Bill and Jessie Poynton, and siblings Jack, Shirley, Bob and Bob’s wife Carol. Marion is survived by her daughter Linda Furney, son-in-law John Furney and their daughter Jess Furney. No service by request. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Red Cross or the BCSPCA Biscuit fund, for stray or surrendered animals needing emergency medical care, would be gratefully accepted. To leave a condolence or make a donation, please visit www.earthsoption.com

Joseph McLaughlin On January 22, 2015 Joe passed away peacefully at Ridge Meadows Hospital. He was born in Vancouver on January 26, 1929 to Joe and Evelyn McLaughlin. Little Joe always enjoyed sports especially baseball and was the proud recipient of a first place trophy for a Soap Box Derby. He went to work as a logger when he was 16 and spent the rest of his working life working on the coast. Logging took Joe from the north coast of Vancouver Island to what was then known as “the Charlottes� to Terrace. He loved his work and made many lifelong friends during his 65 year career. He is predeceased by his parents, brother Jack, sister Pat and first wife, Lorraine. Survived by wife Ellen, sister Margaret, son Ken (Lois) and daughter Andree (Ron), grandchildren Gina, Grey, Josh and James (Alison), great grandchildren Paydon, Canaan, James, Avery, Mackenzie and Kynnedi. Many thanks to the staff of Westbrooke Community Living Centre and the staff of Ridge Meadows Hospital for their care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, donations to Covenant House would be appreciated. Funeral Mass was held on Tuesday, January 27, 2015 at 11:00am at St. Luke’s Catholic Church, 20285 Dewdney Trunk Road, Maple Ridge. Interment to follow at Ocean View Burial Park, Burnaby. Condolences may be sent to www.mapleridgefuneral.ca

River Kings go forth HOW ABOUT that regular season? The Terrace River Kings are entering the first round of the CIHL playoffs against their biggest rivals, the Smithers Steelheads, this weekend after wrapping up the regular season with another pair of wins. Friday, Jan. 16 the team was in Prince Rupert for a final grudge match against the Rampage at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre where they won 5-1. The Rampage led 1-0 at the end of the first period, but the momentum swung the Kings’ way. The Rampage (2-13-1), as they often have, skated with the River Kings (14-2-0) shift for shift, but on one particular manadvantage for the home team, two defensive breakdowns led to two shorthanded goals on the same penalty kill for Terrace in the third period to put the game out of reach for Rupert. Terrace’s go-ahead 2-1 goal early in the third period was scored by a streaking Jordan Peddle after Rupert committed a giveaway on the powerplay. Not a minute later and after furious shorthanded pressure by
Terrace, Rupert’s Highway 16 rivals scored again on the Rampage’s starting netminder Devon Gerrits to make it 3-1. Two more goals by Chapen Leblond and Corbin Legros ended the game for the River Kings and after a stellar first two periods with some fine lateral movement and quick lower-body pad saves, Gerrits was overwhelmed with the Terrace pressure in the third and made way for Jarrod Hildebrandt after the fifth goal against. Hildebrandt was solid the rest of the way, including a couple sharp glove stops. The Kings then hosted the Quesnel Kangaroos (8-7-1) at the Terrace Sportsplex, Saturday, Jan. 17 slamming the eastern team 10-4. Playoffs for the River Kings start this weekend, Jan. 31 in Smithers, with the first home game of the series Saturday, Feb. 7 at 8 p.m. and a game Sunday, Feb. 8 at 1 p.m. if needed. In the east, Williams Lake will be taking on Quesnel. With files from Kevin Campbell, Prince Rupert Northern View

■■ Atta girls CALEDONIA’S SENIOR girls basketball team pulled off a ferocious win at the Pioneer/Panago Falcons Classic in Williams Lake two weekends ago. The Terrace team tipped off against the hometown Lake City Falcons in the final and won 67-12 to take first place in the tournament. All-stars for Terrace went to Hanna Jay, Carly Davis was named best defensive player and Khali Pelletier received MVP.
Third for junior boys in Rupert CALEDONIA’S JUNIOR boys basketball team placed third in Prince Rupert two weekends ago. “We had a bit of a disappointing loss in the semifinal game against NESS (Nass Valley) as one of their players had an outstanding game against us,” said coach Mike Johnson last week. “We did bounce back to beat Centennial Christian in the third place game. Cen-
tennial lost a heartbreaker to Charles Hays (Prince Rupert) in the other semifinal and Charles Hays went on the defeat NESS by around 12 points to win the final,” he continued. Caledonia’s Dylan King was selected to the All-Star team along with Evan Veldman from Centennial and Charles Leeson from NESS – that’s the player who scored 40 points against Caledonia.
Score Board Game One: Cal – 70 vs MESS (Kitimat) – 18 Cal scorers: Dylan King 14, Elijah Azak 12 Game Two: Cal – 50 vs NESS 61 Cal high scorers: Harvir Dhesi 16, Jackson Netzl 12

began to worry about the Lakelse River Cutthroat Trout in earnest last September. When I first fished the river some 40 years ago, the cutthroat were abundant, as were the Rocky Mountain Whitefish. There were always fewer Dolly Varden and Bull Trout, but even those naturally less numerous species could be found in greater numbers in the Lakelse River than in other tributaries of the lower Skeena River. There is little doubt that the fecundity of the short river is in large part attributable to the large runs of salmon, most notably the large numbers of Pink Salmon that fill up the river each fall. Lakelse cutthroat gorged themselves on Pink Salmon fry every spring. Anglers with only a rudimentary understanding of fly fishing could tie a silver bodied fly to their tippet, make their way to the river in April and May and hook prodigious numbers of trout. The limits were generous in those days and the notion of catch and release had little currency. As a result, a lot of trout were killed from the time the first fry began wriggling free of the gravel until most of the fishermen vacated the Lakelse to chase Spring Salmon at the end of May. Those of us who had watched the demise of formerly robust sea trout fisheries on the Lower Mainland knew that cutthroat are a fragile fish and that apparently healthy populations of trout and char, like those returning to the Lakelse River, could be fished to the point where their numbers

extraordinary catches for me so often in the past. Over the course of that afternoon, I hooked one small cutthroat. I enlisted Webb’s help and together we fished the middle river. The salmon were everywhere, other anglers were nowhere. We didn’t catch a single trout between us in an entire afternoon of fishing. We were gobsmacked. Everything was set up for great trout fishing of the kind we’d experienced so often in the past at this time of year. I went out many times after that during the fall and into the winter, and though I released some fish, the fishing was decidedly mediocre. I hooked more steelhead than cutthroat, and I didn’t hook all that many steelhead. There had been a huge return of pink salmon. The coho return seemed to be average or above. The numbers of returning salmon were in direct proportion to the size of the number of cutthroat, so, where were the trout? I’m a far better fisherman than I used to be. I fish well-known spots and places where almost nobody fishes, and I log, and have logged, more time on the Lakelse than anyone else I know, which makes me a decent sampler of fish populations. Some will immediately say the substandard trout fishing is due to a cyclic downturn. I certainly hope that is the case, but in four decades of stalking Lakelse Cutthroat Trout this is the first I’ve experienced. Next week, some thoughts on what may be happening…

Chevrolet expands its electrifying portfolio with the Bolt EV Concept. With a range of more than 300 kilometres, this all-electric stylish crossover is aimed for the masses, not just the select few. “While it’s still a concept, pricing for this type of vehicle will be in the $30,000 range. Not cheap, but certainly attainable. It even allows you to use a smartphone to perform as the key fob.” Acura is showing off the return of its simply beautiful NSX sports car to the market. The Porsche-loving Jerry Seinfeld was flown in to add some celebrity power but there was no — because this $150,000-plus super car speaks loudly for itself. It will be powered by a new Honda V6 mated to a ninespeed dual clutch transmission, assisted greatly by three electric motors — one for each of the front wheels and another to add torque while the turbos get up to speed. Interesting that Honda should be getting back into F1 racing; now it features hybrid power plants! Ford is teasing showgoers with a stunning new 600-horsepower Ford GT, which will more than likely have a price sticker similar to that of the NSX. The Infiniti Q60 concept’s premiere appearance was somewhat overshadowed by the aforementioned machines in the media here. However, Alfonso Albaisa, the Infiniti executive director of design, delivered a passionate description of the high-performance sports coupe that will come to market within the next year, with a price tag somewhat lower than the Ford and Acura products.

2015 Honda Pilot is a family adventure vehicle
By Ian Harwood
Pack everything into the Honda Pilot and there is still surprisingly enough room for eight people. Looks The vehicle was re-designed in 2009 yet it still fits today’s market and has a unique style to it. It rally resembles no other competitor which is more than can be said of many in this market segment, In The Cab There is plenty of room in this eightpassenger sport ute. The second row has an extra 25 millimetres, the third has 50 millimetres and there’s a slight an increase to the cargo area. The 60/40 second row and third row bench seats fold flat to give a good surface to transport larger items. Another added improvement is the rear glass that can be opened independently from the hatch. If you go for the EX-L RES or Touring edition there is a power lift gate. A 229-watt audio system with seven speakers and a subwoofer is available on the LX, SE and EX-L RES model while the Touring comes with a 650-watt, AM/FM/CD Premium audio system with MP3/Windows media and 10 speakers including a 5.1 surround sound theater mode, also a 15 GB hard drive (HDD) audio storage. There is an available Honda DVD rear entertainment system with 9-inch display. An available Honda satellite-linked navigation system
