Mom’s home hunt leads to Alberta By JOSH MASSEY A HOMELESS mother of four is again calling for greater awareness of affordable housing problems facing northern B.C. after a five month homeless stint which has led her to seek a new path in Grande Prairie, Alberta. During her nomadic adventures Anna Martin had been living with her family out of a van in campgrounds and emergency shelters while looking for a low income home or apartment – first in Hazelton, then Terrace where they camped out at the cityowned Ferry Island campground for a period, Prince Rupert, Prince George and now across the border into Alberta. “I was in Prince George living in a hotel and Children Services said I can’t keep living in hotels and the transition house so they said I had to come to Grand Prairie to be with my mom because she is the only one who has supported me,” said Martin, adding that she was told her children would be taken from her if she came back to B.C. “Children’s Services said that if I go back to B.C. without having a place to stay they will phone the cops and the cops would stop me and they would get a court order to take my kids away from me,” she said. According to a statement from the provincial Ministry of Children and Family Development it is not in the government’s power to prevent Martin’s return.

■■ Rotary’s marathon auction ROTARIANS DONNA Demers and Bryan Gascon preparing for the Rotary Club of Terrace’s 54th annual auction. Predicted to be 13 hours long, the auction spanned two days and saw 400 items sold to the highest bidders. Local businesses donated a variety of goods to be auctioned totalling $70,000. Money goes towards various community projects paid for by the Rotary Club.
Election forum on tonight THE two people running for mayor and the 12 running for the six Terrace city council spots will be on the REM Lee stage tonight beginning at 7 p.m. for an all candidates forum. Each of the candidates will be making statements and there will be opportunity for
members of the audience to ask questions. For those unable to attend tonight, CityWest Cable 10 will be broadcasting the forum. The Terrace Standard’s municipal election coverage continues with profiles on Pages A13, A14, A16 and A17.
“The ministry and delegated aboriginal agencies have no authority to prevent someone from entering the province,” said the statement. “Homelessness, in and of itself, may not necessarily be a determining factor in a child welfare assessment,” the ministry statement continued. Martin’s children are all in school in Grande Prairie now but her housing woes have not gone away. “Grande Prairie is the same as B.C., rents are sky high and there’s just nothing here. But there are a lot of jobs here which is the good thing about it. There’s lots that I can do, it’s just a matter of finding a place.” Currently she is looking to find work in the service industry or as a groundskeeper. She even said there is a homeless count underway in Grande Prairie, similar to the one that the City of Terrace commissioned this spring which detailed a swelling homeless population. Of Nisga’a ancestry, Martin said she grew up in a foster home in Grande Prairie and moved to the Terrace area at age 13. Her mom died when she was just five. “I lived here [Grande Prairie] until I was about 13 and then I went to B.C. after that.” She said she was upset nobody could help her find a home in her traditional territory but says she plans to return at a time when it won’t affect her children’s education.

Nisga’a ink pipeline deal THE NISGA’A NATION has signed a deal with a natural gas pipeline builder to bring substantial economic benefits to its residents and others in the Nass Valley. Monetary terms of the deal are confidential, Nisga’a Lisims Government president Mitchell Stevens said last week, but he did say the deal with TransCanada Pipelines for its planned Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project to pump natural gas from northeastern B.C. to a planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant near Prince Rupert calls for annual payments and business opportunities. “It’s been a good week for everyone in the northwest,” said Stevens, adding that should the pipeline be built, its benefits will reach down as far as Terrace. The agreement with TransCanada, signed Oct. 29, comes at the same time as the provincial government has introduced legisla-
tion to provide the Nisga’a with taxation powers for industrial activity on Nisga’a lands and for the removal of land from the Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park to allow for a better route for the pipeline. Stevens said the taxation legislation, the legislation to remove park land and the benefits deal are part of a package aimed at improving the economy in the Nass Valley. The pipeline is to end at Lelu Island near Prince Rupert at an LNG plant to be built by Petronas, a company owned by the Malaysian government. It could reach a final investment decision by the end of this year. At 900 kilometres long, the 48-inch pipeline will run 85 kilometres through Nisga’a Lands and approximately 12 kilometres adjacent to Hwy113 on land to be removed from the lava bed park.

Traffic work underway
THE PROVINCIAL transportation ministry is adding a second vehicle lane and a wider shoulder for pedestrians and cyclists on Hwy16, also known as Keith Ave., across from Walmart. The work is on the north side of the road from Walmart stretching from the intersection east to the Dudley Little Bridge. “The project involves extending the current west-bound two lane section of Keith Ave. from Kerr St. to the Dudley Little Bridge,” said a statement from the transportation ministry. The project is designed to “enhance safety” and will allow for better vehicle flow through at the intersection with Walmart and also “provide a widened and paved pedestrian/cyclist shoulder through the length of the project,” the statement continued. The project is scheduled to finish the end of November at an estimated cost of $200,000. It’s one of two major projects on Hwy16 locally being undertaken by the ministry. The other, in conjunction with the City of Terrace and CN, is installing traffic lights and making road improvements at the Frank St. railway crossing west of town.

Nisga’a to receive tax authority THE PROVINCIAL government has introduced legislation giving the Nisga’a Nation taxing authority on Nisga’a Lands, putting it on the level with other government bodies. It will enable the Nisga’a Lisims Government to levy and collect property tax from Nisga’a persons and from other than Nisga’a citizens, including companies that operate industrial installations, such as LNG pipelines and associated infrastructure. The legislation states the Nisga’a Nation will set residential property tax rates at the same rate as provincial rural areas. However, the
Nisga’a Nation will have the ability to tax non-residential property at rates higher than the provincial rural rates. Provincial aboriginal relations and reconciliation minister John Rustad noted the ability to collect property tax sets the stage “for a prosperous future for the Nisga’a Nation, while respecting Nisga’a cultural and environmental values.” The legislation follows on an agreement between the Nisga’a and the province signed this summer. Details include having the Nisga’a Nation become part of the North West Regional Hospital District, a tax-
ing authority which collects money based on assessments for health care capital projects. Typically, the North West Regional Hospital District provides 40 per cent of the money for major health care construction and facility maintenance projects in the region. The Nisga’a Nation will appoint a representative to the regional hospital board, joining other municipalities and regional districts and forward money to the hospital district through property taxation. And the taxation agreement will provide the means for the Nisga’a Nation to pay for services provided by
the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. Regional district administrator Bob Marcellin said payments to support general regional district government services would be a prime example. The Nisga’a could very well be included in 911 service run through the regional district, he said. “It will also be a two way street and Nisga’a Nation may provide a service back to the regional district like they currently do for refuse site service for the site they own and operate for the general valley population,” Marcellin added. Nisga’a Lisims
Government president Mitchell Stevens said it was still too early to indicate dollar values the property tax authority might generate. “The taxes will be based on mill rates,” he said. And tax revenues from projects such as pipelines won’t be known until if and when projects are constructed and their value is determined, Stevens added. “This agreement is

connecting the tax issue with pipeline development. “I have gone on record to the federal government of Canada and the government of B.C. and said that we are absolutely not interested in your pipeline unless there is a facility on Nisga’a lands and unless you deal with the property tax—because that’s where the money is,” he said at the time.

One is to determine the feasibility of constructing a natural gas distribution system to serve homes in the Nass Valley. And the other gives the Nisga’a an option to secure Prince Rupert Gas Transmission expansion capacity for the use of a future LNG developer who would build an LNG facility “at a site on or near Nisga’a Lands.” This continues plans by the Nisga’a to develop their own LNG industry by already identifying and promoting four plant locations along the north coast. “Should Petronas make its final investment decision, there will be significant options for Nisga’a people,” said Stevens. And he said the proposed Nisga’a LNG locations along the coast say much about how Nisga’a Lands were chosen by Nisga’a negotiators leading up to the Nisga’a Final Treaty in 2000. “There was criticism from Nisga’a opposing the selection of lands but it was not about the amount of land but for the strategic value of where that land was located,” he said.

“The route was developed after a comprehensive analysis which balanced the impacts of the project on Nisga’a Treaty interests with the benefits the Nisga’a Nation will receive under the agreement,” indicates a Nisga’a statement on the segment running through Nisga’a lands. Two other routes were considered and then rejected because of their environmental and other impacts. Exclusive contracting opportunities to flow to the Nisga’a from the development include right-ofway clearing, camp services, security, and medical services on Nisga’a Lands. The statement said pipeline corridor rights being granted do not constitute sales of Nisga’a Lands. “Negotiations with the Nisga’a have been ongoing for some 18 months, and we appreciate their willingness to work with us to reach an outcome that will benefit their people for many years to come,” said TransCanada official John Dunn of the deal. There are also two side arrangements in the broader deal which could benefit Nisga’a citizens.

He expressed frustration at the pace of establishing the tax authority when speaking at the last Nisga’a Nation biennial special assembly held in May,

YINGJIE Hu, an official from the Qinhuangdao Economic and Technological Development Zone, Mr. Feng Zhang, vice mayor of Qinhuangdao, China, Kitselas chief councillor Joe Bevan and Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski at the July signing ceremony setting in motion the sale of more than 1,100 acres at the Skeena Industrial Development Park to the development zone.
Prize Catch City promotes Chinese land deal as economic saviour
By JOSH MASSEY IF HOUSING has turned out to be a critical issue facing city council since the last election in 2011, then what city councillor Lynne Christiansen called “the big fish,” has to stand as an equal. And that’s the sale this year of 1,186 acres of the Skeena Industrial Development Park, jointly owned by the city and the Kitselas First Nation, to the Qinhuangdao Economic and Technological Development Zone, an agency based in Qinhuangdao, China, which acts as the host there to a multitude of industries. At close to $12 million, the deal is one of the largest real estate transactions in the region in years, marking the start of what the city – and the Chinese – hope will become a satellite industrial zone to the main one in China. While there’s much speculation about what could happen, one industry has already been identified – the construction of an alfalfa protein extraction plant with the finished product to be shipped overseas. Briefing papers prepared this month for some of the city’s top business agencies, including the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce, the Terrace Economic Development Authority and the Northwest Regional Airport Society, indicate that 170 jobs will be created on a complex taking up 33 acres. And speaking last week, city development services director David Block sketched out some of the details which have been worked
out and some which still need to be worked out as the Chinese continue to develop their concept. The first is the actual closing of the deal which is to take place this month. A $200,000 deposit has been made with the bulk of the money expected upon closing of the sale. One development issue still to be decided is supplying water either by wells on site or by hooking into the Kitimat-Stikine regional district’s water supply. About half of the purchase price, $6-7 million, is earmarked to build the tie-in infrastructure, a line from the Thornhill water works to the industrial park and a reservoir, says Block. But should the Chinese find sufficient water of their own by drilling wells at the park, the city will then repay to the Chinese what it would have spent on the Thornhill water option. The Chinese have already had some success in exploratory work, said Block. “The indication they have from the one well [that has been drilled] is that they are anticipating at least for the start of the first phase they will be able to do water through a system that is well-sourced,” he said. “If they can put three of four wells and get enough water to do a system and never have to connect to the regional district system, then it might be far cheaper without having to spend that $6 or 7 million to pump water up the hill,” said Block. The key word here is “if”, as the amount
of water supply needed for multiple heavy industrial sites would be significant. But if multiple wells are found, “they might get back some of it [the sale money],” said Block. And depending upon the amount of water found, a deal could very well be made to supply the airport. Already officials from the Chinese development zone have visited the location and have been using engineering firm All North to do some geotechnical work at the location. And the Chinese have narrowed their choice down to two companies for more detailed geotechnical and planning work. Although the city estimates half of the sale revenue could be used for a water supply, the remainder will be used on other services, said Block. He noted that the city’s intent on developing land that’s in the industrial park boundaries but located on the other side of Hwy37 north from the main park lands and adjacent to the motocross park there. A number of smaller lots could eventually contain spin off businesses related to the larger industrial concerns across the highway, said Block. But two larger parcels, both nearly 50 acres in size, might be used for something else altogether with Block saying the city is negotiating with several forest products companies. Block also emphasized the city’s philosophy behind the Chinese land sale. “The sale price is low because it wasn’t
city council’s intent to make money off of the land sale,” said Block. “This is for jobs and for the benefits downstream,” he said. Still there is some protection for the city contained within the sales agreement. The city will have the capability to purchase land back at the original sale price should the Chinese not follow through on their commitments. “There are also timelines in there for them to reach certain steps along their industrial park and manufacturing investments,” said Block. “And if they don’t hit certain time lines there are options to buy that land back at the cost of sale, $10,000 an acre.” Block said one critical milestone where such provisions could occur comes 10 years after the sale is concluded. It means it is in the Chinese development zone’s best interests to find clients for the land. And, Block continued, the development zone will not be able to sell off portions of its location to another party. The Kitselas First Nation is a joint venture partner with the city to the extent that any tax revenues generated by industries at the park will be shared on a per capita population basis. Block did say the city will be reimbursed through land sales for any monies it has spent already on development of the park. That includes legal costs, road construction and construction of highway access.
City cashes in on land holdings OVER the past two years the city has announced it is set to close on a number of land deals, points on graph showing a flurry of activity that corresponded with a rise in real estate values driven by speculation on industrial development in the northwest. A year after many of these deals were announced, however, some of these deals are in limbo with money having yet to changed hands. If they
all go through then it would amount to a $15 million influx but some hurdles must be overcome first. One of two deals to have been completed is the sale of approximately 2.5 acres to Coast to Coast Holdings from Calgary for $951,000—between Park and Davis and facing onto Kenney in the horseshoe neighbourhood. Also earlier this year,
the city sold 66.7 hectares of industrial park land to the Kitselas First Nation’s Kitselas Development Corporation for $1,647,700 and forged a deal with them for work camps that will begin channelling money to an affordable housing fund if there are ever more than 500 people sleeping there. Later in 2013 the city sold 4.38 hectares at the Skeena Industrial Develop-
ment Park to an earthworks company called Global Dewatering for $250,000 which is settled in there. And earlier in 2013 the city entered into an agreement to sell land for $877,000 for a large portion of the former Terrace Coop property on Greig Ave. to Calgary-based Superior Lodgings. The property was bought by the city for $1 million in
2005, and it has been on the hook for an environmental clean up ever since which needs to be completed before the sale to Superior is finalized. Another deal for $1 million is still in the works between the city and the owners of the Chrysler and Toyota dealerships in town. They want to expand from their Hwy16 west location to five acres owned
by the city on the corner of Kenney St. and Keith Ave. but are waiting for a rezoning to change the area to commercial from its current industrial zoning. This zoning change is part of the city’s plan to transform the downtown heavy industrial area on Keith Ave to residential and lighter-footprint business while shifting heavy industry to the industrial park.

EDITORIAL
Thank you IT was called the War to End All Wars but as we all know, it wasn’t. The Great War of 1914-1918 or the First World War in which an estimated 10 million solders were killed was followed by the Second World War of 1939-1945 with millions more killed and since then numerous other conflicts taking uncounted lives have followed. As much as the conflicts of the last century and their aftermaths defined the shape of the world today, the involvement of soldiers and civilians defined not only their participants but their families and communities. It’s why each Remembrance Day people gather at services and cenotaphs across the country to honour the sacrifices of those individuals. This Remembrance Day the service at the Tillicum Theatre will recognize the contributions of local Second World War veterans courtesy of the French government. It has struck a specific honour to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day in 1944 and of the Battle of Normandy which followed to liberate France and is being presented to those who took part. “Through you, France remembers the sacrifice of all of your compatriots who came to liberate French soil, often losing their lives in the process,” writes the French ambassador to Canada of the Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour to the recipients. To that we can only offer our collective thanks as well. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

or various reasons many of us put off writing a will. We avoid any mention of the subject not wanting to upset our children. Family may shy from broaching the subject afraid they could look grasping or unduly eager to see us gone from their lives. We ourselves may harbour the notion concluding a will could hasten our death. Rest assured it won’t. In 2000 my husband and I filed wills. In the interim fourteen years I’ve become a widow, and our grandchildren are now young adults. These changes needed to be reflected in a new will. Additionally at my age, having a will filed with the Vital Statistics Agency in Victoria gives me peace of mind knowing if I slip on a banana peel my affairs are in order; my executrixes will have clear direction as to my final wishes for disbursement of my estate with the least amount of legal hassle, expense, and demand on their time. Recalling the family turmoil when my grandmother died intestate (without a will) convinced me of the practi-

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI cality of drawing up a will earlier, rather than later. In Grandma’s case, she had a house and a couple quarters of land to dispose of equitably. Though her two daughters saw eye to eye on sharing her estate, by the time lawyers concluded everything, which involved letters exchanged with lawyers representing relatives and government offices in distant cities (all this long before the ease and speed of email) years had gone by and their fees whittled off a good portion. In my case, a couple discussions with an estate lawyer transposed my wishes
into a written document. Now a copy of my new will rests securely in a safety deposit box. It could be called out tomorrow, or not for twenty years. In the meantime I know I have made things as fair and easy as possible for my surviving family. Along the way the estate lawyer taught me a few things worth knowing: 1. Destroy any previously made wills and codicils, and destroy any draft wills that the lawyer forwarded to you for review. 2. Review the will and any related estate and personal planning documents whenever there has been a material change in your affairs, such as a birth, marriage, death, or marital breakdown in your family; the death of an executor or trustee; change of substance in your assets (including gifts or advances received or given by you) or your liabilities; or a change in tax, wills, or estate laws. 3. If you wish to make changes to your will, prepare a new will. Don’t make any changes by writing on the actual will without obtaining legal advice.

4. Avoid documenting partial or incomplete estate planning ideas in ways that might be misconstrued as a final intention to change your current will or create a new will. If you document any ideas, mark them “for discussion purposes only.” 5. If you make copies of your will, do not remove the staple. That might be seen as tampering. Fold each page over. My will is paired with instructions for shipping my body to the University of British Columbia to help train medical personnel. This stipulation is enough to keep me living a healthy life. The university accepts only bodies as intact as possible without a contagious disease, or having suffered a catastrophic accident, or drawn a coroner’s interest. I must be shipped on my way within 24 hours. One more task awaits – listing where I keep other important papers such as my bank records, files for compiling final income taxes, and offices to be notified such as cancelling my $18 monthly New York Times digital subscription.

The Mail Bag Thanks, Jack
Dear Sir: When I heard Jack Talstra was in hospital it was one of those ‘uh oh’ moments. Uh oh, why didn’t I write that letter saying ‘thank you’ for his years of good humoured service and loyalty. Although to be honest, I don’t recall the speeches and photo-ops but I can still smile at memories of Jack, tall and scrawny, making me and my sister laugh as we goofed around on the toboggan hill behind the Kalum trailer court. Who knew then he’d lead such a worthwhile and interesting life? Thanks Jack, for all of it. John Harris, Vancouver, B.C.
The name game
Bridge sidewalks need fixing
Dear Sir: Some time ago I did see an incident of concern. On passing over the metal decked bridge I saw a person in a motorized wheelchair meeting another person on a bicycle with an attached child trailer, going the opposite way. Because the sidewalk is only about one metre wide, there was no way of passing each other safely.
T
I do not know what happened, but what may have transpired, resulting in a somewhat dangerous manoeuvre. One person, most likely on the bike with the trailer, had to move the unit onto the automotive part of the bridge to let the person in the wheelchair pass and then back onto the sidewalk portion. Because the bridge is curved, it is impossible to see
from one end to the other, to see if another wheelchair is on the bridge. The ideal solution to the problem would be having the sidewalk portion widened to about two metres, or having at each turning point a pullout, long enough to accommodate a bicycle with an attached trailer. Or there could be a signal system, similar to what is in-
stalled for the automotive traffic on that bridge. On the other bridges, by Ferry Island, there is also a problem, anybody camping on the island and wanting to walk to town has to cross against highway traffic. Perhaps the section between the island and town should have a sidewalk on both sides of the bridge. Martin Holzbauer, Terrace, B.C.
Dear Sir: After reading the articles about a slogan for Terrace, I thought we already one – The Northern Gateway – due to the ports in the area. Many ports are involved but the bottom line is that all shipping traffic does go through Terrace before reaching the northern port of exit from Canada. The Douglas Channel and Kitimat is the first port that can be found on the B.C. coast north of the Lower Mainland, Prince Rupert is next. A few others farther north are available as well including the port of Stewart, B.C., beyond that then you are into Alaska. Gordon Campbell coined The Northern Gateway or perhaps it was Roger Harris but in retrospect I do not see any problems using this slogan as the slogan for Terrace. Glenn Martin, Terrace, B.C.
Great column
Dear Sir: Thanks so much for publishing the recent column by Jim Benson on banning bait. I personally know Mr. Benson and he is a genuine person. I support him and his thoughts as I am a fly fisherman and also a bait fisherman. Great job and keep up the great news work. Scott McGinlay, Terrace, B.C.
LNG tax not the only tricky issue
oday marks the 409th anniversary of the infamous Gunpowder Plot in which Catholic dissidents attempted to blow up the English House of Lords and all within it, including King James I. The plot was foiled when someone in the know tipped off the authorities who descended on the basement of the Lords to find one Guy Fawkes guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder. To this day in England they celebrate Guy Fawkes Night on November 5th. Part of that is kids making a “Guy”, essentially a scarecrow type of effigy, taking it from house to house, knocking on the door and singing out, “Penny for the Guy”. We have just witnessed a modern day version of that with the kids being played by LNG proponents and a model of an LNG plant replacing the Guy. The big difference is that when the LNG proponents came aknocking at the door of the provincial and federal governments,
they were looking not for a few pennies but hundreds of millions of dollars. And if they didn’t get it they were going to blow up their plans for LNG plants on the northwest coast of B.C. And on October 21 the province bowed to the pressure and unveiled its scaled down version of the LNG tax. The original 1.5 per cent until the capital investment is paid off stayed. Any tax paid at the 1.5 per cent level could be credited against the tier two taxes (again the same). The big difference is that tier two number of 3.5, half the number the province was throwing around to begin with. Now the Liberals can argue that they never said it would be 7 per cent, only “up to” 7 per cent. But the crazed revenue figures it originally predicted clearly were tied to the higher level - and more plants than are going to be built in the foreseeable future. As was to be expected the
GUEST COMMENT
MALCOLM BAXTER proponents made positive noises about the climb down but the reaction was well short of any kind of commitment. As AltaGas executive president of business development noted, while at first glance it looked good, “this is tax legislation and so it’s complicated.” (Having read the proposed legislation I can tell you it is
not just complicated, it is mindnumbing!) The numbers that caught my eye were those provided by the government as to the total amount of LNG tax revenue that it would receive from a 12 million tonne per year liquefied natural gas plant over a period of 10 years under the proposed regime, namely $800 million. But factor in the provincial sales tax, natural gas royalties, corporate income tax, carbon tax and property taxes and that same plant is going to have to cough up $8.1 billion over those same 10 years. In other words, even if there was no LNG tax that plant would pay $7.3 billion. So, if the province is going to receive more than $7 billion over the next decade from a single plant, is it really so important to claw another approximately 10 per cent? From a pure revenue point of view, probably not. But in terms of saving face
after the extravagant promises of the last election campaign in 2013, the one in which Premier Christy Clark put forward her vision of a $100 billion legacy fund and which arguably contributed to her victory, it is vital. Footnote: Getting the province to buckle has achieved the first part of the LNG proponents’ agenda. Part two is getting a change of the federal tax rules concerning capital cost allowance. Under the existing rules an LNG plant would be classified as a distribution operation which means capital costs would be written off over about 25 years. If it was reclassified as a manufacturing unit that could take place over as little as eight years. Which would translate to earlier profitability for the plant. And I suspect this is even more important than the provincial levy. Retired Kitimat Northern Sentinel editor Malcolm Baxter now lives in Terrace, B.C.

Stop the support clawback
Motives questioned
An open letter to: Hon. Christy Clark, Premier, Victoria, B.C. Dear Premier Clark: I am writing to you to ask that you recommend to Cabinet that your government stop its practice of clawing back federal or court ordered child support payments to single parents on provincial income assistance. One must assume you feel the justification for this is that welfare payments are adequate and so child support payments become extra income and therefore need to be deducted. This reasoning is not sound as the preset level of welfare payments does not bring the income for such families up to the poverty line, the amount required for basic necessities. Further, your government does not amend the amount of welfare payments on a yearly basis and so inflation continues to make assistance less and less adequate with each passing year. Allowing poor families

ROBERT HART, second from left, took part in a June letter writing campaign to urge more support for aboriginal youth in Canada. to receive this support would make up for some of the inadequacies of your present policy. Half of the BC children in single mother led homes are presently living below the poverty line with all the harm that entails. Last year your government clawed back $18.4 million from them. A federal program of child support and court orders toward it were never meant to be transformed into contributions towards your government balancing its budget.
Other provinces do not do this and yet other provinces also have lower child poverty rates than ours. It is a matter of budget priorities. Taking support payments away from poor families represents an unjust and ineffective social policy and this practice needs to be remedied as soon as possible. Robert Hart, Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir: Re: letters to the editor from the northern representative for UFAWU-Unifor and the northern branch of the Steelhead Society of B.C. regarding fishing on the Skeena River. Commercial fishing on the Skeena River is unfortunately a sad story this year. The northern representative of the UFAWU-Unifor has the factual information. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) did predict a record run of Skeena sockeye for 2014. Millions of sockeye salmon that headed to their spawning grounds from the coast were only met by the Gitxsan commercial inland fisheries in Gitwangak and Kispiox areas and sold to canneries in Prince Rupert. In 2013 the DFO cut off all food fishing for the Gitxsan to help save the fish. The Gitxsan adhered to this request to help replenish the sockeye salmon. In 2014 a lot of the Gitxsan did not get their food fish to set their gillnets because of the inland commercial seine net fishing and the boats by anglers and fly fishermen for sport. They are in the Skeena River 24/7 and they· are called the Steelhead Society. Why is that? Fishing for them wasn’t stopped in 2013. Why does DFO maintain their grand experiment on the value of creating a huge Babine Lake fishery while bankrupting the marine fishery. This question needs to be answered.
Coastal commercial fisheries have been around for hundreds of year with gillnets and canneries booming. For the northern branch of the Steelhead Society of B.C., situated in Terrace, to say the answer is to stop gillnets, why? Is the Steelhead Society worried about the conservation of the Skeena River sockeye salmon? The over escapement of sockeye salmon does enhance sockeye stocks. If these experts would stop experimenting on fish of all species there would be an enhancement of all species of fish. Otherwise start eating farmed fish. It seems like the northern steelhead branch and SkeenaWild are on the same page when it comes to what is called Skeena steelhead. It is someone’s goal to encourage a larger steelhead sport fishery Do these organizations even know there are different gillnets for different species of fish? With seine nets all species of fish are caught and what is the survival rate when they are thrown back into the ocean and the Skeena River? The same with sport fishing. What is the survival rate of the fish after it is played with. If you are going to catch fish, eat it. It is time these sports fishermen put out factual information and not emotional information to put out management proposals to suit themselves. Mary Dalen, Cedarvale, B.C.

Food bank client French gov’t honours numbers rise after four local veterans years of dropping AFTER SEVERAL years of dropping client numbers, the Terrace Churches Food Bank saw numbers increase in its first opening of its season this October. Approximately 300 people came to receive 450 bags of groceries, says John Wiebenga from the food bank. In October 2010, 367 families took home 546 bags of food; in October 2011, 364 families received 536 bags; in October 2012, about 324 families received about 476 bags; and last year, October 13, about 250 families received about 420 food bags. “We were very blessed with many different food drives and collections that took place in our community over the summer and into the fall,” he says. “Needless to say, our Food Bank was well-stocked to start the new season.” And that included receiving freshly dug potatoes from the
local community garden, which was gratefully received by clients, he added. For November’s week-long opening, the food bank could use more baby food of any kind as more clients are requesting it, said Wiebenga. Products like toothpaste, shampoo and other hygienic products are also regularly requested, he added. A couple of new pastors have recently arrived in town and are volunteering with the interviewing process of the clients that come through the doors, said Wiebenga. Eight to 10 people are regularly involved in this aspect of volunteering. Lots of volunteers helped out this month, he said. In total, approximately 100 volunteers help in various ways each and every month. “And the whole community helps out by giving generously,” he said.
FOUR LOCAL veterans will receive honours from the Government of France for their participation in D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, which took place 70 years ago this year. Cecil (Bob) Goodvin, Bill McRae and Widar (Sandy) Sandhals will receive an insignia and diploma making them Knights of the National Order of the Legion of Honour, the highest honour conferred by the French government, at the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Tillicum Twin Theatres Nov. 11, according to Peter Crompton. Rowly Purmal also received a medal but has since moved down south to live with his daughter in Winfield, B.C. and won’t be attending this year’s ceremony here. To be nominated for the honour, veterans had to have taken part in the battles and military operations surrounding the landing and the campaign to liberate France between June 6 and August 31, 1944. A letter to the veterans from Philippe Zeller, ambassador of France to Canada, states: “This distinction illustrates the profound gratitude that France would like to express to you. It is awarded in recognition of your professional involvement in the liberation of our country. “Through you, France remembers the sacrifice of all of your compatriots who came to liberate French soil, often losing their lives in the process... “Please allow me to express once more France’s respect for your contribution to the combat that led to the liberation of my country.” The time during the ceremony for the men to receive their honours is tentatively set for during legion president Ray Hallock’s speech just after 11 a.m. For details on Remembrance Day ceremonies here, see the ad on page 18.

How dad went to Winnipeg bcclassified.com By BRIAN GREGG
MY FATHER George Gregg Sr. went to war in Europe as a cook – and being a pacifist he was destined to prepare food instead of shooting Nazis. I’m told through my mother that Dad was on a battleship on D-Day serving food to the men, some of whom would be having their last meal. He returned with the ship to Britain and received a medal for hazardous duty among the rack of medals he wore on Remembrance Days. At some point – we don’t know how – Dad broke two discs in his back in a wartime injury; and he suffered from dysfunctional back pain the rest of his life. He tried to operate an orchard in the Coldstream near Vernon B.C. but even a back brace was insufficient; he gave up the orchard and the family moved to Doreen east of Terrace where Mom was to teach in a one-room school, arriving there on December 31, 1951. In 1953 with the family still living at Doreen Dad went for an operation in a Vancouver hospital for army veterans. That turned out to be an adventure for him.

GEORGE GREGG Sr. The quartermaster came into the ward the day before his release to provide him with transport home. Where was he from? Doreen. Where’s that? About 30 miles east of Terrace on the CNR line. The quartermaster insisted there was no rail service between Prince George and Prince Rupert. Dad said he got down to Vancouver on
the CNR; and the family moved from Vernon to Doreen on the CNR. The quartermaster insisted there was no rail line to Doreen, Terrace, Prince Rupert, or other towns in northcentral B.C. “No,” the quartermaster said. “Do you have any relatives?” Dad said he had a brother in Winnipeg. His oldest brother, Bob, was doorman at Eaton’s in Winnipeg. The quartermaster snapped his fingers and promised he could get tickets to there. So Dad got a holiday to Winnipeg. It became evident that Dad was overdue and Mom was getting worried. She went to the general store in Doreen to ask Mr. Horwell if he had heard anything. The general store had to only phone in Doreen. Mr. Horwell said he hadn’t; but if he did Mom would be the first to know. A couple days later he came to our house with word that Dad was on the phone. Mom went immediately to the store to find out why the delay. “Hi dear. I’m in Winnipeg visiting Bob.” Dad explained the reason for the visit and he was leaving the next day to return to Doreen on the CNR. Brian Gregg lives in Terrace, B.C.

ELECTION 2014
Wednesday, November 5, 2014
Social issues prompt bid for council seat STACEY TYERS, seeking her second term on Terrace city council, first ran in 2011 because she felt the city wasn’t paying attention to social issues. And the specific item which prompted her candidacy then was the city’s decision to provide money to My Mountain Co-op, the local group formed to buy the financially-troubled Shames Mountain ski development west of the city. “I just felt the city wasn’t doing enough about social issues yet it was willing to provide money to the co-op,” she said. At the same time, the city was charging some social services agencies rent for city space yet others were paying a $1 a year, Tyers adds. “I just didn’t feel the city priorities were aligned,” she said. From the Lower
Stacey Tyers Mainland, Tyers, 38, moved to Terrace ten-and-a-half years ago when her now ex-spouse purchased Just Kiddin, an indoor children’s playground which has since closed. She also had family in the city and more family in McBride. “We did a count and I think we made up about five per cent of the population of McBride,” said Tyers of
the community east of Prince George. Tyers at one time was the executive director of the Terrace Anti Poverty Group, a social services agency which no longer exists. It was financially supported by the Law Foundation of B.C. which then moved an annual grant to the Terrace and District Community Services Society, creating the position of poverty law advocate which Tyers has held for nearly five years. “I’m excited about what has been done but there’s more work to do,” says Tyers of city projects. “You can’t address problems unless you acknowledge they are still there.” Tops on Tyers’ council to-do list is housing and, specifically, housing for middle or low income earners. It’s not the city’s specific responsibility to
build or provide housing but it can encourage builders and societies seeking to do just that, she says. The city’s affordable housing fund, which is still being developed and which is to be financed by sales of existing city property and by a bed tax on any work camps erected at its industrial park, is one example, Tyers added. She also pointed to one part of the deal selling city land to Calgarybased Coast to Coast of land along Kenney for a large rental housing project. “Twenty per cent of the units are to be offered at 20 per cent below market value as affordable housing,” Tyers noted. “Coast to Coast will still make money on those units, only 20 per cent less.” Tyers was nominated by Tanya Gauvin and Alexandra Loggin.
Environment key to council hopeful FIRST TIME Terrace city council candidate Brenda Wesley says she’ll draw from her Tsimshian cultural roots if elected and advocate for the proper stewardship of the land, social programs and the promotion of sustainable industries. Wesley, 56, is from Lax-Kw’alaams (Port Simpson) where she spent the first 36 years of her life after which she lived in Terrace for 20. She worked first in First Nations education and then as a teacher at the Suwilaawks Community School. Wesley is a member of the coastal family known as Gitandau, which is the village’s speaker house, so she grew up representing the chief and tribe and says politics is in her blood. She says she might be developing a reputation as an activist, and is a member of the environmental group Northwest Watch. She says she is running for council because she thinks there are regional concerns
and questions that need to be voiced and dealt with locally. “Council meets with the province regularly,” said Wesley. “They have regular dialogues, so they are able to bring their concerns forward at that level.” She noted the millions of dollars in annual revenue from tourism in the northwest is substantial and that turning the coast into an oil and gas hub is foolhardy. “A true business person isn’t going to take one part of their business and totally sabotage it to bring in a new line of inventory,” said Welsey of the trend of mineral extraction and oil and gas expansion taking over the traditional northwest revenue sources of forestry, fisheries and tourism. “The Skeena is the only river that has five species of salmon that tourists can come to one place and get what they want,” she said. She also said she has seen too many people leave the area because of high housing costs. “I have concerns about families who have
lived here for many years, and are having to uproot because they can’t afford the rent here.” She has a Masters degree in education from Simon Fraser University.

Using best practices drives this candidate BORN AND raised in Terrace, first time city council candidate hopeful Michael Prevost was involved in two significant high profile events, one provincial and the other international early in his professional career. Equipped with an archaeology and anthropology degree from Simon Fraser University and a certificate in forensic science from BCIT, Prevost, 33, was one of those hired in 2003 to sift through the Robert Pickton pig farm in Port Coquitlam, part of the massive investigation which resulted in Pictkton’s eventual conviction for the murders of six women. That experience then took him to Bosnia where he worked for the International Commission on Missing Persons, an organization formed to help identify those killed during the 1990s fighting in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Prevost was one of those sifting through the mass graves from the Srebrenica massacre of thousands of Bosniak men and boys in 1995. And now, back in Terrace, Prevost, who earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree here through the University of Northern B.C., is a registered nurse working in home and community care for the Northern Health Authority. He hopes to bring his professional training of planning and best practices, where past experiences are used to guide future projects, to city council. “In finding the solutions to help sustain our community, we need to look what our assets are and to build off those,” said Prevost, noting that the city should continue to involve a core of vol-
Correction IN THE story “Garbage bylaw now approved” in the Oct. 29 issue of the Terrace Standard, it was incorrectly stated that all of the regional district board directors took part in the vote on the garbage collection/ recycling bylaw. Only the directors from the areas affected by the bylaw voted.
unteer and other agencies. He wants the city to continue working on affordable housing, housing for people with disabilities and low income housing. “I really applaud the city for its affordable housing fund. There’s
opportunity for acquiring land [for housing development] and cash grants for projects,” Prevost said. In particular, the city can play a role in zoning by-laws which would have housing developers include units for low income earners
and for those with disabilities in their projects, he added. And Prevost sees opportunity for the city to establish early and direct lines of communication with potential large scale industrial developments.

ELECTION 2014
www.terracestandard.com
Leadership is promised CURRENT CITY councillor Bruce Bidgood is making his first bid for the mayor’s chair on a platform of strong leadership and past experience, saying he wants to keep going full steam ahead on the path forged by the previous council he’s sat on since first elected to a councillor’s seat in 2008. Bidgood, who contemplated running for mayor in the 2011 municipal election but chose to run for council instead, has since broadened his experience. “I have led local governments, I have led local government associations, I think that’s one of the things that differentiates me from other people,” he says. He is currently chair of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine as one of the Terrace representatives, vice chair of North West Regional
Bruce Bidgood Hospital Board, and vice president of the North Central Local Government Association (NCLGA). He also spearheaded the regional district move to create a regional coalition to press the province for resource revenue sharing. In the past he has served as a representative on the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and on the Federation
of Canadian Municipalities, the national body of local governments. “I write emails at four in the morning,” he says of the busy life he negotiates on a daily basis. “For me money isn’t the most precious commodity, time is,” he continued. “I am going to do everything I can do to liberate the maximum amount of time.” He said as mayor he will most likely continue with the NCLGA but will have to reassess the amount of time he spends on his other positions. Born in Ontario, now 53, Bidgood has called Terrace home since 2004 as an associate professor of social work with the University of Northern B.C. and says that many of the places he lived in and frequented in his old province apply to this area of the country as well. Growing up in the
you’ll love seeing double
industrial town of Port Colburne, Ontario, he says he knows what a town with a strong industrial core looks like, knowledge which he will bring to the ongoing development of the Skeena Industrial Development Park. “I may not know about logs but I know about manufacturing. I grew up in a place where we make cars. I know manufacturing is not as prone to boom and bust ... that is going to be our single best protection,” he said. “We will see the largest economic development initiative in our history on those sites and that
is what we are going to protect against our future,” he said. “We demonstrated we can work with companies locally and internationally,” he added of the deal. In terms of promoting the amalgamation of Thornhill and Terrace through boundary extension, Bidgood said that imposing this on Thornhilll would be a creating “an adversarial relationship with our neighbours” and a form of annexation unfit for the postcolonial world. Bidgood was nominated by Leona Esther Murray and Todd James Campbell.

ELECTION 2014
Terrace Standard Wednesday, November 5, 2014
Infrastructure her goal ONE OF only two candidates vying to fill the mayor’s seat, Carol Leclerc says her focus will be on long-term planning. The 53-year-year old, born and raised in Terrace, says this means enhancing transportation for commuters on bike and foot and reviewing Terrace’s aging parks strategy “The parks plan is outdated, it’s from 1984,” said Leclerc. “So if we are going to have a global look at the greater Terrace area we need to update that green space plan, that parks plan.” She wants to pressure the province to relieve the challenging pedestrian commuting along the congested Keith Ave. corridor and find “a way of expanding the sidewalks so you could also have a bit of bike path.” She said pressures on housing from industrial growth and local infrastructure has shown that “we are not ready for the growth that could come if major LNG facilities are built.” Leclerc also wants a strategy to recruit and keep health care workers. “I look at health care and it’s the biggest cost in our provincial budget, how can we as a council and mayor keep a healthy and vibrant community so we can have a better life style.” Her vision is to have an extended Terrace of 25,000 people by 2025 and says she thinks Thornhill should be able to have another chance to vote on whether they want to share municipal boundaries with Terrace. “I’m for joint planning,” Leclerc said. “The motions that Mr. [Ted] Ramsey put through the regional district, I felt he was kind of narrowing the options of people in Thornhill because they will get to vote on whether they want to incorporate or not and I thought it could be broader and informative so people could consider incorporating or extending their boundaries and being part of Terrace. It’s not a Terrace take over Thornhill by any means.” She said incorporating would cost some-
thing to those in Thornhill, a factor which caused some to previously vote against amalgamation. Leclerc works as the district trades career co-
ordinator for the Coast Mountain School District and currently she is a member of the rotary society. Leclerc had previously served nine years
as city councillor from 2003 to 2011, but left municipal politics because she said she needed a break. She then ran as a B.C. Liberal candidate
for Skeena in the 2013 provincial election and while unsuccessful, increased the Liberal vote. Leclerc was nominated by Jack Talstra and Brad Pollard.

Every day our lives are shaped by the peace and freedoms our Veterans and Peace Keepers have given us. As such, we should give thanks and Remember those who put their lives at stake so we can enjoy the life we have. It’s the least we can do. These Men and Women gave us a Country where, we don’t have to be afraid of our Policemen, where we can choose the Church of our faith, where , we are free to travel from Town to Town, City to City and Province to Province. A Freedom we should never forget, given to us by young Canadians - Brave and unselfish Canadians. The Veterans of The Royal Canadian Legion and its other members will not forget. The veterans especially, will never forget the friends they left behind. We all have sons and daughters, brothers and sisters who have lived in peace all their lives, most of us have been spared the anguish of losing a son or daughter, or a brother or sister in war. We have over 116,000 or more dead young brave Canadians to thank for this. World War 1 and World War 11 aside we have to Remember those 158 young Canadians in very recent years lost in Afghanistan. Let us remember those lost on home soil this year. I think also it is time, for us on November 11th to give thanks to our Policemen, Firefighters, Search and Rescue and our Coast Guard for keeping us safe in this great Country. To all the citizens of Terrace I say, we still have a lot of thanking and Remembering to do. On Tuesday 11th November 2014 lets show the world we care, and are proud of those young Canadians who defended this great and beautiful Country called Canada, and gave us the Freedom we cherish today.

“Sister” I am only a child, sister, oh my sister. Your life flashes before you. The uncertainty. A cold presence fills the room. It approaches you, leans over you, watches you. Battle my sister. Hold nothing back. I count your every breath. Press forward my sister, your victory is near. It quits, it passes you. At a great cost, you are triumphant. Poetry from experience 32 years later...

Orest Art Hlushak March 27,1938 - October 27, 2014 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Art on October 27. 2014 in Terrace B.C. at the age of 76. He is survived by his wife of 55 years. Lois: their daughters Brenda (Larry), and Sandy (Ron); four grandchildren, Lance, Brandy (Jason), Cory, and Jenny: two great grandchildren, Anna and Jack (his little Buddy); his mother, Annie: and his brother, Larry (Wendy). Art was predeceased by his father, Peter (1946) and his brother, Peter (1998). Born and raised in Edmonton. Art and his family moved to Terrace BC in 1970. He was extremely active in all aspects of sporting endeavours in both communities as a player/coach and organizer. He will be remembered for his intensity as a hockey/fastball player and coach, and his passion for “the game”, whatever it was. He will also be remembered fondly as a person who could be counted upon to be there for others when in need. At his request no “formaI” service will be held. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Donation in memory of Art can be given to the Happy Gang Centre or Terraceview Lodge (Nass/ Evergreen Community).
Ed Burnip It is with heavy hearts and wonderful memories that the family of Ed Burnip announce his death on October 29, 2014. An avid hunter and fisherman, Ed will always be remembered as a generous, thoughtful and honourable man who had a dry sense of humour. He was a guiding force in his family and he leaves behind a legacy of a strong work ethic, integrity, the importance of family, unparalleled generosity and the traditions he kept alive and created after his wife, Jeanne, died. Ed was born in Coleman, Alberta and moved with his family to Prince Rupert in1938 where he attended high school. After graduation he joined and served 2 years with the Air Force before entering the University of B.C. While finishing his degree in Mechanical Engineering he married his sweetheart, Jeanne Husoy, in 1951. After graduation he joined Alcan and moved to Arvida, Quebec where he and Jeanne started their family. They returned to BC in 1954 when Ed moved his family to Kitimat where he progressed through Alcan’s management ranks over the next 33 years until his retirement in 1985. Ed will be sorely missed and lovingly remembered by his sons Arne (Patricia) & Denis (Gail), his grandchildren, great-grandchildren and other extended family. He was respected by all and his absence will be keenly felt by those who knew him. The family would like to extend their gratitude and a heartfelt thanks to his doctors and to all the staff at Terraceview Lodge who treated him with the compassion and respect he deserved At Ed’s request there will be no funeral service. Instead the family will gather next spring to say a final goodbye at one of Ed’s favorite places, his cabin on Shuswap Lake. We rejoice that he lived; We took delight in his friendship We treasure that we shared in his life; We cherish our memories of him So it is with love that we leave him in peace And it is with the greatest of respect that we bid him farewell.

If you want to honour Art, his wishes were that you hug a loved one, say hello to someone new, or make a donation to your favourite charity.

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Preceptor Gamma Omicron chapter of Beta Sigma Phi, Save on Foods, Ideal Office Solutions, Canadian Tire, and all the wonderful individual volunteers who are invaluable community partners in the annual B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive. This is an annual event in many British Columbia communities, spearheaded by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and supported by caring community groups and individuals with the sole aim of providing food and other necessities for those in need. As reported earlier, this year we were able to collect 3500 pounds of food for the Terrace Churches’ Food Bank, and we are looking forward to surpassing that amount next fall. Again, thank you to all our community sponsors, and indeed to our generous community as a whole. Terrace is an openhearted and wonderful city in which to live. Norma Bohle, Terrace Coordinator, BCTFD

Hart pumped up in Victoria TERRACE’S HENRY Hart is used to being one of the bigger guys on the team. But that’s no longer the case with his new gig playing defense for the University of Victoria Vikes in the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League. At 18, he’s the youngest player on the team – a different situation than his last season playing for the 100 Mile House Wranglers. “A lot faster, a lot bigger guys,” he said, on the phone from Victoria last week on his new league. “In 100 Mile I was one of the bigger guys, going into this league there are guys way bigger than me – they’re all fully grown men.” But that means his teammates are older too, something Hart says is helping him mature as a player and in attitude. “It’s a lot of ex-Jr. B and exJr. A players, so it’s a really high skilled league. There’s a lot of good guys on the team,” he said. After spending his final year of school playing in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League for the 100 Mile House Wranglers, he decided to go straight to university instead of spending another year in juniors.
Accepted into UVic, where he’s studying engineering with the end goal of working with computers in software or engineering, he walked on at Vikes’ camp tryouts over the summer and made the team – ensuring he’d have the best of both worlds on campus. “Education is super important and I felt that if I didn’t go to school right away I might lose some of the stuff I’ve learned in high school and have a disadvantage going to school if I waited,” said Hart. “It worked out because I made the team. I’m still playing hockey and going to school. It’s awesome,” he said.
home defensemen, I’m a penalty killer,” he said. “I kill penalties and I’m not really offensive, I’m more defensive minded – I stop a lot of goals, I don’t get scored on.” At press time, the team, which last won a championship in 2012, was sitting at 3-3 for the season so far. If Hart had to pick the team’s biggest rival so far, he said Eastern Washington was a tough contender “because they’re a dirty, rough
His coach, Harry Schamhart said the team is glad to have him on board. “We’re very lucky to have Henry on our team,” said Schamhart. “He’s a very good hockey player and is a starting D-man for the Vikes.” Hart’s role on the team is all defense. “I’m kind of like your stay-at-
team and always really big so there’s a lot of chirping and a lot of behind the scenes kind of stuff on the ice. A lot of scrums.” But Hart laughed when asked if he was a scrapper. “I wouldn’t say that, no. These guys are a lot bigger than I am, so I keep my gloves on,” he said.

Cal Jr. Girls take five in Prince George
KEVIN CAMPBELL PHOTO
■ Good rep TERRACE’S MIDGET Rep Kermodes were in Prince Rupert two weekends ago, beating the Seawolves 6-1 and 6-3 in two somewhat scrappy games Oct. 25 and 26. Kermode No. 21 Connor Ornstein notched a hat trick during Saturday’s game.
CALEDONIA’S GRADE 10 Junior Girls volleyball team had a strong showing in Prince George two weekends ago, placing fifth out of 23 teams. The Oct. 24 and 25 tournament started with a second place finish in pool play after beating DP Toff two games to one, losing two to one to the eventual tournament winner College Heights, and bouncing back to beat Fort St. James two to one. This meant the team played Skeena Middle School in the next round, beating them two games to one and “unfortunately knocking Skeena into the consolation rounds of play,” wrote coach Adri MacKay in an email last week. Caledonia then played Duchess Park, losing 2-1 in a very tightly contested match. “With a win we would have made semi-finals, but the loss sent us to play for 5th and 6th against Dr. Kearney (Fort St. John),” she said. Terrace defeated this team in two games straight to take fifth place overall. “Correina McNeice was chosen for recognition as our most consistent player of the tournament,” she said. “Some great volleyball was played over the two day event.”

Snow and soul at Shames “SHAMES MAY be the only place where there are friends on a powder day,” writes Christopher Solomon in Outside magazine’s November issue. Featuring a flurry of familiar faces, Solomon’s piece is pure love for Shames Mountain, its backcountry, and the rest of what he calls “the big north”. It’s one of several let’sget-stoked-on-northwestB.C. articles expected this pre-season, including one in Air Canada’s En Route magazine that is even more focussed on the co-op aspect of the mountain’s operation, and is further indi-
P
cation that more eyes are on the area than ever before. “Of course we hope it translates to more visits,” said Shames general manager Christian Theberge last week, on the media attention. But “the heart of Shames will always remain its local clientele ... Shames will grow with the growth of it’s local population. I would say that the amount of houses, and lots being built in Terrace is a much stronger indicator than the magazine coverage – though it surely won’t hurt.” This latest article’s release coincided with the
ioneers like Herman Buschmann, George Kofoed, and Kolbjorn Eide were running the rocky riffles of the river in wooden boats powered by prop driven outboards two decades before him, but for me the mention of the Gitnadoix will always be associated with Mike Whelpley. Mike had the advantage of a jet leg, a Zodiac and, later, a jet sled, but I doubt that anybody spent more time on, or had a deeper understanding or greater love of the Gitnadoix River than Mike. You gotta see this river, Mike said to me one March day 34 years ago after he and his dad had spent a weekend there. It was Mike’s first date with the Gitnadoix. His excitement was palpable. A week later we were there. The river was so low that I had to hop out of the Zodiac on the skinniest riffles then climb on board on the upstream side to save the jet leg, a task made easier by the frozen snow pack that lined the river bank like a white hedgerow. As we climbed the river it quickened. Wispy clouds that could be mistaken for puffs of smoke hung tight and unmoving against wide, treeless slide corridors burnished by the seasonal avalanche flow. The air in the narrow river valleys on the left side of the Skeena checks no calendars. It was winter air. It stung our faces, reminding us that the margin of survival was smaller than it was at other times of the year. Just before the spot where Dog Tag Creek fed the flow a cottonwood had

Oct. 29 there were 10 centimetres of snow at the top chair with the snow line sitting around the 10th tower, according to Theberge. He says that’s average for this time of year, and that, looking at the forecast models, his educated guess/
hope is “that we will get pounded with snow through November and beginning of December, switch to milder blue bird weather for holidays, then back to heavy snowfalls from mid January to mid March, then ending with fantastic sunny spring skiing.” This summer was packed with projects at Shames – replacing the TBar cable, a major repair of the chairlift return station that saw the 3000-pound wheel removed, repaired, and then reinstalled. “We could not have accomplished what we did without the help volun-
teers and the assistance of numerous businesses in town,” he said. “The truth about Shames remains unchanged – the mountain can sustain itself operationally, but cannot afford to finance its necessary capital infrastructure upgrades and repairs from operations alone. “This is the co-op advantage at work,” he said, noting nearly $50,000 in savings. “Without this kind of help our only option would be to increase prices which would go against our founding principles of affordable, sustainable, and innovative.”

smiled and pointed to the spot where the fish had risen. They like to hang deep in the tail, just before the spill, he said. Still, winter water was running through the river, water that would freeze if it wasn’t moving, water that anesthetizes steelhead, water that makes them stick to the bottom like glue. Yet, a fish had climbed through the water to look at my drab waking fly. I cast again, and again, and again and yet again. On that last cast the fly disappeared. There was no splash, no flash, it simply vanished. I struck because I was conditioned to do so. The fish was a female. A nice fish about dozen pounds, probably the first and last Gitnadoix steelhead to have been persuaded to take a surface fly. Amazing, said Mike as he watched the steelhead escape from view after I set her free. Based on the fishing he’d had the week before, Mike felt there was a strong chance a steelhead could be persuaded to move to the surface. Now he had confirmation. He picked up his casting rod and using a rubber egg cluster, cannonball shot, and a float proceeded to hook and release a dozen steelhead in the same water I had laboriously fished with my waking fly, then, after lunch he released more than that in the pair of runs upstream. It was a virtuoso performance. I won’t forget it. Continued next week…

ELECTION 2014
Spec housing viable THE IMPROVING economy has resulted in something not seen in the area for awhile. Housing prices have now risen to the point where there’s a potential for a spec housing market – construction of accommodation by a builder without first having secured a purchaser. “A builder can now hire his crew, buy his material, hire his sub trades and still see a profit and then perhaps build more,” says John Evans from Re/Max Coast Mountain. “It’s an option that’s now out there.” Evans points to the newest set of sales statistics from the BC Northern Real Estate Board indicating the average selling price for a single residential home in Terrace and area has
John Evans now broken through the $300,000 level to $307,507. That’s based on the sales of 136 single family homes for the first nine months of 2014 and compares to the 170 homes sold for an average price of $250,157 for the first nine months of 2013. Evans points to several spec homes now under construction and a six-plex townhouse complex also under construction as exam-
ples of recent buyer options. Older homes now selling for more than $300,000 may need a kitchen update or other renovations compared to new home construction which already incorporate modern features, he added. In the first nine months of this year, 288 properties of all kinds worth $72.5 million were reported sold in the Terrace area, compared to 289 properties worth $65.1 million during the same period last year. The average selling price for single family homes has steadily risen over the past several years from $218,150 for the first nine months of 2011 to $219,242 for the first nine months of 2012 to $250,157 for the same period in 2013
to that $307,507 figure for the first nine months of this year. A decade ago, the average selling price for a single family home in the Terrace area was $127,000. Evans did note that the pace of demand and sales is biting into the inventory available at any one time. In January 2013, there was five and a half months of inventory on hand for sales activity at that time meaning that if no homes came on the market, the number of houses for sale would have been exhausted within that period. That inventory figure dropped to as low as two and a half months this past summer and as of September, had rise slightly to just under three months.
Candidate withdraws ONE OF the 13 Terrace city council candidates has dropped out of the election. Noelle Bulleid, who was seeking elected office for the first time, received permission from community, sport and cultural development minister Coralee Oakes just this week. Under provincial legislation, a candidate in this election had until October 17 to withdraw on their own. After that, permission of the minister is needed and the candidate has to make a signed request. “The purpose of provincial involvement at this stage is to strike the right balance between recognizing that unplanned circumstances arise for candidates, while still ensuring that running for office is treated seriously and that administrative difficulties are avoided (e.g. candidate withdrawal once ballots are printed),” a statement from the ministry
indicated. Bulleid said she had been looking for a house all summer and that an offer she made on one was accepted after she was nominated as a candidate. “I’m now preparing where I live now to a point where I can sell it,” Bulleid said, adding that the twin tasks of selling one house and moving into another meant she would not be able to devote the time needed to a city council seat had she been elected. At the same time, Bulleid said she wanted to focus on finishing her Bachelor of Social Work degree. Bulleid’s departure from the council race leaves 12 people running for the six council seats. Oakes is also considering a withdrawal request by a candidate running for council in Stewart.

An interesting historical footnote, at one time (in the late 19th century, Edison was a community of Utopian Socialists known as the Equality Colony). Not sure if I’ll ever get completely comfortable with the central instrument panel in a Prius. A switch button on the dash that changed kilometres to miles, however, was brilliantly simple and perfect for this trip. My biggest beef with the Prius v was cabin road noise at high speeds. Depending on the highway surface it can be so loud that it’s hard to converse with a front passenger. Bigger and better, the Prius v offers the functionality and versatility of a wagon, for a relatively small price premium. Toyota’s tried and trusted Hybrid Synergy Drive system offers outstanding fuel economy and surprisingly good power, when needed.

It is often lamented that many of the concept cars at the international auto shows never see the light of day as production vehicles. Well, the Cadillac ELR looks every bit like a futuristic concept and it is available today. This car is something to see, especially in person, with sweeping lines and aggressive front lights, like a spaceship. In fact it won the 2013 Eyes on Design Award at the North American International Auto Show, an award judged by all of the heads of design form each automaker in attendance… that’s some judging panel At first glance it has more than a passing resemblance to

An electric luxury car designed to avert range anxiety the Cadillac CTS Coupe but underneath is a very different platform. Looks This is essentially the Chevrolet Volt electric car, morphed into a Cadillac, with two fewer doors. Taking what Cadillac learned from the CTS coupe and transplanting that look onto an electric car has made the ELR a high-end electric alternative, to say a Tesla. The two-door design has hidden electronic door handles that release by touching a pad inside the recessed door handle. Not to worry, there is a redundant mechanical mechanism. The 20-inch wheels have specially designed tires for efficiency and handling. The trunk is a good size for a

The vertical daytime running light are Cadillac’s signature now and they look fantastic. The LED headlamps along with rear LED lights make this a true luxury product.

Cadillac combines alcantara (faux suede), chrome, wood, hand cut and sown leather seats and available carbon fibre.

interior can stand on its own with any other luxury brand. Cadillac uses the same Cue infotainment and communications system throughout its line of products and it features a rich graphics package with cutting edge connectivity. But this car isn’t without fault. The touch sensitive centre console isn’t for everyone; some might prefer traditional knobs and buttons and the high gloss surfaces can show dirt quickly. Then there is the back seat or lack of. This isn’t a four-seat car but a two-seater with storage for a gym bag. Why this has back seats is a mystery. continued on page A32

Stolen truck discovery leads to five arrests SPOTTING A 2010 black Dodge Ram outside of the Coast beer and wine store last week resulted in five arrests being made by the Terrace RCMP. Three people inside the truck, which was stolen from Prince Rupert, were arrested, one being a woman, 24, for breach of a probation order to not be found outside of her residence while intoxicated. A second person, a girl, 17, was arrested because of an outstanding arrest warrant out of New Hazelton. At the same time, inside the beer and wine store, two other arrests of two men were made. Police say a credit in the name of the registered owner of the vehicle was found on one of the men. And they say unauthorized purchases were made and were attempting to be made using the card. Police are forwarding charges of possession of stolen property and fraud. A man police say was the driver turned out to have three warrants for his arrest from Dawson Creek. He also provided two samples of breath that were in excess of the legal limit, said police. Charges are
being forwarded to provincial Crown Counsel lawyers on the 28-year-old driver for breach of undertaking condition of no consume alcohol, operating a motor vehicle while impaired and over the legal limit and two counts of operating a motor vehicle while disqualified. The list continues with possession of stolen property, two counts of fraud, operate a motor vehicle while prohibited, and operate a motor vehicle while suspended. He was held for court. In another incident, officers came across another stolen vehicle from Prince Rupert. This time it was a red 1990 Volkswagen Jetta parked on the side of Hwy16 near the 120 kilometre marker between here and Prince Rupert. That investigation continues. Meanwhile last week, in another incident, police assisted the Terrace Fire Department with a vehicle fire. A blue Ford truck parked in the driveway of a residence on Kenney St. was damaged by fire. It was not considered suspicious.

Drive The Chevrolet Volt is the best selling electric car in Canada, not the Tesla or the Nissan LEAF. People have come to realize that the combination of electric range and a gasoline-extending generator is a good compromise; it isn’t all electric or nothing. The ELR, just like the Volt it is based on, is plugged in and charged, usually overnight. It takes more than 12-hours on a typical 120V plug to get the job done or about five hours on a more powerful 240V system. Once charged, the car runs on electricity for about 65 km before the gasoline extender kicks in to allow the driver to run up to 480km, or longer, if the car is refueled. The 16.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and the electric motor puts out 295 lb.-ft of torque to the front wheels, similar power to the Cadillac 3.6-litre gasoline engine used in other products. One way to extend the electric range is to use regenerative braking to help recharge the battery. The paddle shifters behind the steering wheel do that. The driver can use these in combination
with the regular brake to modulate driving. It takes practice but is kind of fun. Verdict Here is the part that is hard to swallow, the price. The ELR starts at $78,250-- lot of money for any car. This is a very limited market, a two-door sporty looking Cadillac that is also electric. If they made this into a sexy 4-door, the ELR would have more takers. As it stands, Telsa seems to have that market cornered for sexy and expensive electric cars. What the Cadillac has over the Tesla is a world-class interior, something Tesla has fallen short on. On the flipside, Tesla has a huge available electric range without the aid of a gasoline engine. So the market for the ELR is limited. If you are in the market for a two door futuristic ready to drive concept car, this one is very well executed; it turns heads everywhere it goes. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca
