Thornhill becomes election issue By MARGARET SPEIRS THE ISSUE of Thornhill's incorporation or amalgamation with Terrace featured prominently as a topic of discussion at the Terrace municipal all-candidates forum Nov. 5 at the REM Lee Theatre. The forum was split into two parts, one for council candidates and other for mayoral hopefuls, and the future of Thornhill was debated in both. A question from the media panel directed to city council candidate Don Dunster asked if his vision of the area was amalgamation of the
two communities or incorporation for Thornhill. “Forget amalgamation with Thornhill but move to the north,” said Dunster of the rural area that’s north of Terrace. Fellow council candidate Allan McIntyre said the city and Thornhill were good neighbours and the way to continue that was to respect the decisions Thornhill makes. “That said, there needs to be a lot of dialogue with respect to what happens in Thornhill should they incorporate,” he said, adding that referred to land zoning, tax rates, and connections of Thornhill water
and sewer systems. Council candidate Sean Bujtas spoke next, saying Thornhill residents rejected amalgamation earlier. “We are not in charge of what Thornhill chooses to do but I also think it's very important that we educate both Thornhill and Terrace and I think we need to look into getting a feasibility study done to see what makes more sense ... and then both parties can make an educated decision on what want they want to do,” he said. Incumbent city councillor Stacey Tyers said Thornhill doesn't
have to decide one way or the other. Thornhill is looking at incorporation and if they choose it, they can have a mayor and council to decide what's best for them, she said. Tyers also commented on the taxation issues which could arise, noting that the City of Terrace already needs to spend an estimated $45 million on infrastructure within its current boundaries. That being the case, she said she wasn’t prepared to take on Thornhill’s own infrastructure deficit. “They have their own right
to make their own decisions and we have no business telling them {Thornhill) what they need to do,” added Tyers. Longtime city councillor Lynne Christiansen said there's pros and cons to amalgamation but it made no sense to go down that road when Thornhill residents have already said no. She also said Ted Ramsey, Thornhill’s director on the Kitimat-Stikine regional district board, is already promoting the idea of incorporation.

Alcan permit process questioned By JOSH MASSEY

■■ Lighting it up GREATER TERRACE Beautification Society volunteer Allen Wootton strings up Christmas lights along the Millennium Trail Nov. 8. Volunteers took advantage of the break in the week’s rainfall to put up the strings which is an annual tradition.
TWO KITIMAT residents are questioning the payment by Rio Tinto Alcan of the salary of a provincial environment employee involved in issuing permits for the company's $4.3 billion Kitimat aluminum smelter modernization project. Lis Stannus and Emily Toews are appealing the granting of a permit allowing the company to increase its sulphur dioxide emissions as part of the modernization work and now argue, in documents filed with provincial Environmental Appeal Board (EAB), that “the decision under appeal is invalid due to a reasonable apprehension of bias.” The two are requesting documents relating to what's called a secondment agreement whereby Rio Tinto Alcan paid the salary of environment ministry staffer Frazer McKenzie for two years while he worked the ministry's assessment of the project. Rio Tinto Alcan is saying there is no bias and has filed its position with the EAB. Company official Colleen Nyce said secondment agreements such as the one for McKenzie are not out of the ordinary when it comes to assessing and permitting large industrial projects. “Secondment agreements are a practice between industry and government in British Columbia as a way for major projects that require significant time and attention to the hundreds of permits required,” said Nyce. With more than 300 permits needed and the complications of planning a large project, Nyce said “the BC Ministry of Environment was not able to provide such a dedicated resource” and so benefitted from the Rio Tinto Alcan payments.

Truck recovered from Skeena River By MARGARET SPEIRS
MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO
TERRACE SEARCH and Rescue volunteers successfully pulled a truck out of the Skeena River Nov. 7 but, as of late last week, there was still no sign of a man last seen in the river with the vehicle. Red Deer resident Dustin Steele, 23, was last seen by two companions in the back of the truck, a blue Ford pickup, around 9 p.m. Nov. 1 as the truck floated downstream in the river in the Copper River flats area just east of Terrace. Terrace RCMP continue to investigate the reasons why Steele and the two others were by the river and how the truck ended up in the river. The other two men, one 25 years old and the other 35 years old, did successfully make it to shore. Searchers did find the truck, submerged in the river, on Nov. 4 but bad weather and the river’s current prevented its successful recovery until the morning of Nov. 7. It was found with the aid of sonar about one kilometre from where it first entered the river, said search and rescue official Dave Jephson. Family and friends of Steele’s from Alberta spent several days searching the area along with search and rescue volunteers and the RCMP. A shoe belonging to Steele was found about 8 kilometres downstream from where the truck entered the river, said Terrace RCMP. Jephson said attempts using one hook were unsuccessful as a the fast current kept it from being fastened. A second and larger hook, one with three prongs,
was then used and although volunteers were told it would not bend, the force of the river’s current and the weight of the truck did bend in fact bend it, he added. A large excavator was then used to haul the truck to shore where it was then removed from the scene by a tow truck. Although the incident occurred the evening of Saturday, Nov. 1, it was not reported to RCMP until the following day. One of the men, the 25-year-old “who was with Dustin at the truck was arrested for obstruction on November 3rd and released the same day on conditions,” confirmed Terrace RCMP Const. Angela Rabut. Steele, and the two companions who were with him Nov. 1, were in the area to work at a Ramada hotel construction site in Kitimat. Workers at the site had joined in on the search. The Red Deer Advocate newspaper reported that family members have set up bank accounts to help feed and house the searchers, including those who took time off work to find Steele. Those accounts are at the Alberta Treasury Branch, an Alberta-based financial institution, and because it operates only in Alberta, a separate account was set up through TD Canada Trust. Steele’s grandmother, Edith Steele in an Advocate story, described her grandson as a person who would “always go one step more. He’d do anything for anybody.” “I believe in miracles, too, but I feel he’s with the Lord,” said Edith Steele.

Dear Terrace, My name is Lucy Praught and I am running for the position of councilor. I have been a long time resident of Terrace and am an alumni of Northwest Community College and UNBC. For many us we first met when I owned Out Spoke’N bike and sport. It was here that I discovered not a love of bicycles but a love of community. Like so many of you who were impacted when Industry left town, I was also impacted dramatically with the closing of Eurocan. Having to face losing my business I had to come to terms with it was never what I was doing in work that mattered but in who I being. That the skills and knowledge I had acquired with your help could be transferred as I moved forward. I’ve been blessed to be carried by a family who supported me and great mentors who stepped into my life and taught me that we can also be the community that steps in and decides to collectively move ahead. After successfully challenging an MBA I found myself working in Industry a long ways from bicycles. It was through this experience that I was able to better understand the need for communication and collaboration among industry, the community and us as individuals. Through authentic and meaningful dialogue, ideas that are challenged and plans put into action we have the ability to embrace days of opportunity and sustainable growth. I look forward to the privilege to work for you, to learn from you and to lead with my colleagues at the Municipal table. Sincerely,

Alcan permit process questioned As for the secondment of McKenzie, Nyce said he was not involved in the decision making process. “The ministry resource assigned through the secondment agreement provided technical expertise to Rio Tinto Alcan and acted in an independent regulatory role on the project,” she said. For its part, the environment ministry said it no longer enters into secondment agreements whereby a staffer's salary is paid by a company. “In the past, the ministry has, on very rare occasions, used some funding from a private company to fund a position or part of a position in order to dedicate staff time to a particular file or to help offset with other work while other ministry staff are dedicated to a particular file,” the ministry statement added. The emissions permit being appealed by the Kitimat residents, who say they are worried about overall health and environmental impacts, will allow Rio Tinto Alcan to increase sulphur dioxide air emissions from the current 27 tonnes per day from the old smelter to 42 tonnes per day from the stacks of the new smelter. Rio Tinto Alcan does acknowledge sul-
phur dioxide emissions will increase because the new smelter will produce more aluminum than the old smelter, but also says other emissions are being reduced for an overall benefit to the environment. An alternate method, that of installing “scrubbers” to use seawater to collect sulphur dioxide and then deposit it into the ocean, was rejected by the company because it said it doubted area residents would approve. Scrubbers would also cost more, with some estimates placing the price tag upwards of $200 million. The addition of the bias claim, accompanied by the request for more documents, by the Kitimat residents has delayed what was to be a one-month permit appeal hearing this fall before the EAB. That hearing is now scheduled to take place in December and January in both Kitimat and Victoria. Meanwhile, two Terrace residents, Linda Gagné and Charles Claus, continue to seek through the courts to be part of the permit appeal. They were rejected standing by the EAB because it said they were outside of the major impact area of Kitimat air emissions.
■■ Cleanup ROBIN MILLARD-MARTIN and several of her classmates in the Northwest Community College Geography 210 Environments and Society class cleaned up the area along the river just west and north of the Copper River bridge as part of their class community project and along with SkeenaWild’s Skeena Valley River Cleanup Nov. 8. That’s Millard-Martin with a truckload of the 31 bags of garbage they picked up. The group also found concrete blocks, a bear skull and a fridge along with many more items.

Housing heats up forum By JOSH MASSEY HOUSING EMERGED as a big debating topic at the Terrace municipal all-candidates forum held Nov. 5. And while many of the candidates agreed that scarcity and expense of particularly rental housing for people of low or modest income was critical, there were slight differences in how a solution would be approached. Incumbent councillor Stacey Tyers said the next council might purchase land for a housing project in conjunction with a suitable partner. The
money would come from the city’s new affordable housing fund. First time candidate Michael Prevost said looking after current housing is important. “Maintaining and diversifying our existing housing stock needs to continue and be a priority for our next council,” he said. In response to an audience question about the high cost of rents for students, another first time council hopeful, Craig Lyons, thought the city could strike up partnerships with educational facilities, using some of the
money expected to flow into its new affordable housing fund. Another first time council contender, Lucy Praught, suggested that part of the reason rents are unaffordable is because temporary workers on industrial projects in the area are being paid high living out allowances, allowing them to live in town as opposed to work camps. She said that fixing this problem could be accomplished by getting companies to stop paying their workers these sorts of stipends. Don Dunster, also run-
ning for the first time, said companies should provide their own housing for their workers. Incumbent councillor James Cordeiro noted that more secondary suites are now being allowed, citing the Bench area as an example. Another incumbent, Brian Downie, said as many as 190 new housing units will be ready by 2015. When asked about renovictions during the mayoral candidate portion of the forum, candidate Carol Leclerc said the issue was really a provincial one.
“There is really very little that the city can do. We’ve got the affordable housing fund that’s been started so we can hopefully start building some more affordable housing,” she said. Opponent Bruce Bidgood referred to the city’s development of a mixed use plan, including housing, for the former Skeena Cellulose mill site, saying city roads and sewer on the property could encourage developers to invest. “You can make the water taste pretty darn good,” he said of ways to encourage developers.
Enbridge motion sparks exchange THE CURRENT city council’s 2012 decision to oppose Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project became the source of a vigorous debate featuring mayoral candidates Bruce Bidgood and Carol Leclerc at the Nov. 5 municipal all-candidates forum. It began when an audience member asked Leclerc if she supported or opposed the project. “The city has already made a decision and I fully respect that decision and have no intention of doing anything about that decision,” said Leclerc in response. When Leclerc was asked several times by the same person if she was in favour of the project or not, the candidate listed off a series of issues Enbridge still had to face, including meeting the federal government’s 209 conditions before construction could begin and First Nations opposition. “Do I see Enbridge going ahead? Not a hope,” she said. But Bidgood responded to Leclerc’s comments, saying she has had several opportunities over the past years to declare what he termed Leclerc’s “unequivocal” position on Northern Gateway but chose not to. He said Leclerc voted to have council take part in Enbridge community advisory boards, for
council to take a neutral stance on the pipeline project when she was on city council, was not in the convention hall when a resolution to oppose tanker traffic was passed at a 2010 Union of BC Municipalities convention, and favoured Enbridge financing of programs. “I say ‘no’, that’s it,” said Bidgood of his own Northern Gateway position. Leclerc then said it was important to consider the environment in the transportation of crude oil, adding that pipeline transport is 35 times safer than by rail car. “I’d go with a pipeline before I’d go with a rail car,” she said. Asked for clarification of Bidgood’s statements afterward, Leclerc did acknowledge the majority of his assertions.
“Your home is your castle and I won’t be invading it for me.” Council candidate Don Dunster on why he isn’t door knocking. “Up to $700 out of my bank account and from Mr. Visa and Mr. Mastercard.” Council candidate Craig Lyons on how he is financing his campaign. “I’m not prepared to take on Thornhill’s infrastructure deficit. No offence to Thornhill.” Council candidate Stacey Tyers on amalgamation. “So remember, when you vote, start from the bottom of the ballot up.” Council candidate Michael Prevost on the alphabetical placement of names on ballots. “It’s time to have a conversation about our values.” Council candidate Allan McIntyre on explaining his platform. “I’ve experienced a lot of hard reality and I’ve learned from experience.” Council candidate Jessica McCallum-Miller on whether she was too young at 21 for office. “Otherwise we’re looking at expropriation.” Council candidate Sean Bujtas on why it’s important to purchase land ahead of time in anticipation of moving quickly on a second overpass.

MAYORAL CANDIDATES Bruce Bidgood and Carol Leclerc. She said Bidgood’s claim of favouring Enbridge financing of programs might have related to her work as a trades coordinator with the Coast Mountains School District.
In that capacity, Leclerc continued, “[I] did work with Northern Gateway staff on securing a grant for the school district for a feasibility study on a training facility at Thornhill Junior.”
a hand up in getting things done with the province. He said he also knows the premier and other highranking government officials and that he’s all business when dealing with them. “When I go into a meeting in the board room, I’m not interested in socializing, I’m not interested in a photo op,” he said. Bidgood added that the choice of voting shouldn’t be about party
affiliations. “We both equally have our connections with the provincial government that would serve well the City of Terrace,” he said. Leclerc said her candidacy did open doors with the current BC Liberal government. “It’s not a bad thing to have,” she said. “I think that if you’ve got the cards in your hand, you play them. If it’s good for Terrace, use those connections.”
Connections in high places touted THE QUESTION of access to senior government officials was debated by mayoral candidates Bruce Bidgood and Carol Leclerc at the Nov. 5 all candidates forum. Bidgood said he felt “hurt” over what he said were suggestions by Leclerc that her position as the BC Liberal candidate for the Skeena riding in the May 2013 provincial election gave her

Wednesday, November 12, 2014 Terrace Standard
EDITORIAL
The future NO further proof is needed about how Terrace and Thornhill are so inextricably linked than having the latter pop up in the former’s municipal election campaign now underway. Outgoing Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski’s musings at a chamber of commerce luncheon about the possibility of a ‘super municipality’ in which the two communities would be joined touched off reaction by Terrace municipal candidates. There are basically two camps. One advocates a hands off approach in that Terrace has no business trying to influence Thornhill affairs while the other seeks a closer governing relationship of some sort. Ted Ramsey, the Thornhill director on the Kitimat-Stikine regional district board, in suggesting Thornhill should incorporate, is quite right when he says “old Thornhill” is no more. But if “old Thornhill” is no more then the same is true for “old Terrace” because the inescapable conclusion is that if large industrial developments such as LNG are to take hold at some date, the same kind of development and quality of life pressures will be felt by both. So the issue then becomes how the communities can become prepared and how they can respond when the rest of the world shows up at our collective front door. So “us” versus “them” has no role to play. It’s not who is driving the bus, it’s the final destination which ultimately counts. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

G
obsmacked is a word I first heard spoken by a Newfoundlander. The word’s uniqueness and vigour netted my interest. I envisioned two fishermen in a dory wearing Wellingtons and yellow rain slickers when one swings a cod and accidentally clobbers his partner smack across the mouth. The illustration of a cod probably swam in because fishing is such a Newfoundland activity. Years before I had met the word “gob” and deduced what it meant when, during an afternoon snack of cupcakes in my kitchen, my son-in-law said to his little one, “Hold still while Daddy wipes your gob.” The word’s dictionary definition has nothing to do with physically striking someone into silence although one is left totally speechless, after witnessing or being told something incredible, unable to think of anything to say. Shocked; surprised; stunned; astounded; dumbfounded; blown away; flabbergasted; floored. The word next cropped up spoken by Susan Boyle, the small town Scottish singer

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI who first competed in the 2009 Glasgow audition for Britain’s Got Talent contest. Several months later when her second place win was announced, she declared herself “gobsmacked.” The perfect word for her stunning win. And the perfect word to describe the reaction of the judges, Piers Morgan and Simon Cowell, to her audition. They sat with mouths open like gasping cod at the first notes from her totally unexpected performance. I have never used the word myself; it is too foreign to my vernacular. But it popped up last week in an interview with one of the nine women
who have reported allegedly being sexually harassed or worse by co-worker Jian Ghomeshi, the CBC’s “Q” interviewer now under police investigation. And it fits my reaction to the revelations that have been dribbling out since Ghomeshi was fired. For one man to be allowed to treat his co-workers as he is alleged to have done and no one in Human Resources or management at any level confronting his behaviour is dumbfounding. For no male observing any of these alleged behaviours not to have cornered him beside a filing cabinet and told him what for is also flabbergasting. And that no fellow worker, male or female, who had an inkling of his alleged inappropriate behaviour or comments spoke up to support a besieged female is also unbelievable. Does CBC hire only mice, no men? What these allegedly abused female staffers needed was the no-nonsense support of someone like Dolly Parton in “Nine to Five.” She wouldn’t have put up with such outrageous behaviour. When I was 26 and working as a medical secretary in a New York hospital,

the lecherous chief surgeon, upon learning I was to be married in a few days, made an offensive sexual remark to me as I took his dictation. That evening I told my fiance. Next day he showed up in the hospital and called the chief surgeon out of the operating room. Whatever my fiance said proved effective. Several more angles of this story floored me. The naive young interns, especially, who were afraid to rock the boat and so put up with Ghomeshi’s alleged misbehaviour rather than risk their job or future career prospects. Most disturbing are the dozens who bared painful histories on #beenrapedneverreported having suffered abuse from relatives, strangers, teachers, and others in positions of authority. They feel guilty, at fault, even those who were as young as six. Most didn’t report fearing they wouldn’t be believed, that police interrogations would be as embarrassing as the original offence, that they would lose their families or their employment. Whatever the outcome of this investigation so far, details have gobsmacked me.

Dear Sir: A new Terrace city council and a regional district board need to ask tough questions and demand forthright answers over inevitable changes to the natural environment from the unprecedented energy development taking place in our area, which will not happen without a cost. Fish and wild-
B
life habitat will be altered, resulting in fewer fish, wildlife and places to hunt, fish and to watch. There will be more people, meaning more hunters and anglers competing for a less robust resource and a reduced quality experience. Park-like areas will lose their natural affinity from more
motorized vehicle damage and refuse disposal, taking away the enjoyment of being in a natural place. The LNG and other proposed industrial activity are on a collision course with climate change. They will put more carbon dioxide and methane gases into the atmosphere and pol-
lutants into the Terrace/Kitimat air shed, creating a greater level of toxicity and health problems. The increased industrial and population growth will mean more internal combustion engines being in use, exacerbating greenhouse gas emissions.

Dear Sir: When choosing a mayor, a community has to consider who will provide leadership, create a collegial, respectful council and represent the community with vision and dignity. Mayor Dave Pernarowski has tried to do this during his term of office. It has become evident that if candidate Bruce Bidgood is elected mayor, we may see a much more confrontational atmosphere in council. Mr. Pernarowski was clear in addressing a chamber of commerce luncheon that the idea exploring boundary restructuring as a way to meet the needs of the future was his own opinion as the outgoing mayor. Subsequent to the speech, it was with a great deal of concern that I found the following posted on Mr. Bidgood’s Facebook page: “It is wrong for individuals to be speaking on behalf of the City of Terrace and/or in favor of pro-amalgamation candidates when council has not spoken on the issue.” This is a very dictatorial statement that should give Terrace residents pause before bringing ideas and issues to a council led by Mr. Bidgood. And then came this: “As public opinion against the concept grows, just watch how our pro-amalgamation, pro-boundary extension, pro-Super Community candidates now back peddle and change their story to say things like, I meant joint cooperation, joint planning and joint economic development not annexation.” Does this aggressive sarcasm set the stage for creating a respectful, focused council who will work together for the good of Terrace? And why is it all right for Mr. Bidgood to talk about amalgamation when he chastises others for doing it? And finally, does this sound like an individual who is going to build broad consensus for the greater good of our community? Gerry Martin, Terrace, B.C.
Be wary of the lurking old fuel tank
y the time we drop our ballot into the box on Saturday, the candidates will have made their solemn promises and outlined their ideas and their visions for our community. It will be our turn to speak, and we will decide who is to run city hall at the far western end of Lakelse Ave. The difference between candidates and voters is that, once elected, council members will be free to adjust their positions on any of the issues debated during the election. They will be free to change their positions on any issues, whether or not anticipated at the time of the election. We, on the other hand, will be bound by the decisions made on Saturday. Four years is a long time. We will not get another chance to vote until November 17, 2018! What are the events or issues that are likely to dominate the municipal agenda in the four years ahead?
In February 2002, Donald Rumsfeld, then serving as the American Secretary of Defense, noted that “we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.” Rumsfeld’s words of wisdom apply to municipal governments as much as they do to nations. One of the highlights listed in the City of Terrace’s 2005 Annual Report is council’s decision to purchase the Co-op property as a potential conference centre site. Council’s efforts to explore opportunities for the development of the Co-op property were a regular feature in the city’s annual reports from 2006 to 2013. The Terrace Standard published an endless succession of stories about the former Co-op property. There was an abundance of enthusiastic ideas be-

ANDRE CARREL yond a conference centre for the site’s development – hotel, green space, brew pub, museum and more. What we are seeing, however, is that the value of the property is being diminished in spite of a booming real estate market, and that the cost of cleaning it up is escalating in spite of low inflation.
The 2005 dream has morphed into a nightmare. A long forgotten fuel tank was the Rumsfeldian unknown. The Co-op saga will eventually end. The coming years promise to be bright ones. Promoters and devotees of the free market ideology are sure to bombard council with promises of thousands of jobs, billion dollar investments, and the inevitability of taxes flowing into city coffers by the truck load. Old fuel tanks do not exist in the minds of neo-liberal merchants. Their dreams and promises are not clouded by Rumsfeldian unknowns. Just sign here. Terrace will need a city council with the strength and ability to keep their heads clear and their feet grounded. We will need a council willing to involve and engage the community before responding to pressures by other governments and industries alike. The law gives council the power to decide what to do, and
to commit the community for the long-term. But the law gives us, the citizens, the power to decide who is to be entrusted with the authority to decide our future. Whatever decisions council will make, when all is said and done it is we who will have to pay for it. It is we, the people who live in this community, who will have to live and cope with the consequences of council’s decisions. We can celebrate our good fortune and congratulate ourselves if it all turns out well. But there will be no blaming council if an old fuel tank should emerge at some future date for we are the keepers of the keys to council chambers. Voting is a democratic responsibility, not a privilege. Think carefully before making your decision in the voting booth. Now go out and do it.

From Page A7
Slow down the boomtown train The recently announced provincial government greenhouse gas regulation is not likely to work because it is doubtful the new rules will be able to comply with the Provincial Clean Air Act, therefore contributing to the degradation of the world’s climate. LNG development in Australia has had its problems, there are lessons to be learned. The country moved ahead with the development of
too many projects too quickly. There was conflict with a variety of issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. Unexpected financial complexities were experienced. The Australian government admitted it should have proceeded at a slower pace, approving one plant at a time. Our provincial government should take heed, slow the pace and
move in a more careful and thoughtful framework. One LNG plant in Kitimat and one in Prince Rupert would reduce conflicts and environmental impacts. Unfortunately the genie is out of the bottle. It is ridiculous to be conned into believing that if the province does not move quickly it will miss the window of opportunity (even if believable) of hosting a trillion dollar industry. Pacific Northern
Area ski facility plays vital role Dear Sir: I’m responding to Terrace city council candidate Stacey Tyers’ statement published Nov. 5, 2014 in which she said her call to run for council originally in 2011 was partly motivated by the city’s decision to provide funding to My Mountain Coop (MMC) rather than other social issues. At MMC, we have a slogan “an active community is a healthy community.” In an ideal world, there would enough funding for all aspects of a community to be fully supported. However, in Terrace, we have a limited budget and a council that works very hard to spread its support, thereby creating a well-rounded community. In these times of rapid change and development, a well-rounded community vision is very important. Recreational opportunities are a vital part of a healthy community. As a non-profit community service coop, the role of MMC is to provide a service to the community. Our service is Shames Mountain. While skiing may seem irrelevant to some, it creates wonderful opportunities for many. MMC/Shames is an important community asset in many ways. MMC/Shames is a recruiting and retention tool for doctors, nurses, social workers, teachers and other professionals who can be hard to attract. MMC/Shames employs over 50 people – several of them being First Nations youth. MMC/Shames also runs a Northern Snow Angel program that supports youth who would otherwise be
Gas is proposing to construct a natural gas looping pipeline project from Summit Lake to either Kitimat or Prince Rupert. One part is proposed to snake through the Class 1 Section of the Copper (Zymoetz) River Watershed. No pipeline should be allowed in this special, wild and for the most part pristine valley. The new pipeline should follow alongside the existing PNG pipeline through the Telkwa Pass either via a tunnel or by providing protection that will withstand an avalanche.
While the municipal politicians do not have the ability to stop this project, their strong protests and influence could bring about a second look from PNG. Unfortunately local politics and special interests have glommed onto the boomtown mentality and temptations like there is a no tomorrow, almost an anything goes attitude. It is time for new councils and boards to be listening to all of its citizens and pull back from the hugging and glad handing with the LNG proponents and

It’s safety first
Dear Sir: I’m writing to ask when the town is going to make some changes with the parking, for example, the main street. Terrace has become rather busy and the streets too small for both driving and parking. I trust that something is being planned before a tragedy forces the issue, I see the streets of Terrace only getting busier in the future. What ever happened to safety first? It’s a shame. It actually goes tragedy before safety. Heidi Thompson, Terrace, B.C.

LNG Canada Environmental Assessment Application Learn More and Get Involved
For the past three years, LNG Canada has been meeting with Aboriginal Groups, local communities, government regulators and other stakeholders to learn about the community and its aspirations, and to prepare our Application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate. We are delighted that our Application is now complete and that the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) – the regulator coordinating the environmental assessment – has accepted it for review.
It’s now your turn to tell us what you think. Now that the B.C. Environmental Assessment Offi ce has accepted our Application for review, a 180-day review process has begun. This includes a 45-day window in which the public can comment on our Application. The public comment period runs from November 7 until December 22, 2014. What you think about our project is important to us, and commenting can range from telling us how you feel about the project in general, to sharing any concerns you may have, to letting the regulators know you support the project and want it to go ahead. Any and all feedback is welcome. We’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for you to access a copy of the Application – by placing print copies in the local Kitimat and Terrace libraries, and electronic copies online on both our website and on the B.C. EAO’s website. We also have copies at our Community Information Centres in Kitimat and Prince Rupert.
Because the Application is over 4,000 pages long, we’ve produced a 72-page summary document that shares highlights from the complete Application and provides background information about the project in general, the benefi ts that will accrue to local communities, the way we went about studying the potential effects of our project, and the areas we studied. Copies of the summary document are available at our Kitimat Community Information Centre and on our website at lngcanada.ca. The back page of this information piece provides all the information you need to find the documents, provide comments and learn more about our proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project.
LNG Canada is a joint venture company comprised of Shell Canada Energy (50%), an affiliate of Royal Dutch Shell plc, and affiliates of PetroChina (20%), Korea Gas Corporation (15%) and Mitsubishi Corporation (15%). The joint venture is proposing to build an LNG export facility in Kitimat that initially consists of two LNG processing units referred to as “trains,” with an option to expand the project in the future to four trains.
LNG Canada respects the importance residents place on companies being trusted members of their community. We aspire to gain this trust by proactively engaging with the community in an honest, open and timely manner; by listening and being responsive and accessible; and by operating in a safe, ethical and trustworthy way.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROJECT’S POTENTIAL EFFECTS Our Environmental Assessment is based on construction, operation and shipping aspects of our proposed project. Our project includes an LNG export facility and marine terminal in Kitimat, and our assessment identifies potential effects our project could have on a number of areas.
To complete the Environmental Assessment, we followed five key steps.
We conducted studies looking at topics ranging from marine mammals, airshed, greenhouse gases, to the Kitimat estuary, amphibians, birds, community wellbeing and more.
Step 2: What effects could occur?
In addition to technical studies conducted by third-party experts, our assessment benefited from local knowledge gained through consultation with Aboriginal Groups, stakeholders and the community.
Step 1: What is there now? Our first step is to understand what the conditions are now, before we begin our project. To do this, we look at existing studies and monitoring data, and we also conduct studies of our own.
In this step, we consider how our proposed project activities might interact with the environment. To do this, we develop the plans for our project, taking into consideration what we learned during Step 1.
Step 3: How can we respond? In the third step, we develop ways to avoid or reduce any adverse effects that we’ve identified in Step 2 above.
Our assessment is based on a “worst-case” approach in the evaluation of potential effects that could result from our proposed project. By planning for the worst case, regardless of how unlikely it is, we ensure that we’ve designed our project in a manner that minimizes potential effects on the environment and on the community.
Step 4: What effects remain? The fourth step determines what, if any, effects may remain. Despite our work to avoid or reduce effects, from time to time we will come up against a situation that we cannot avoid. So we need to evaluate it and figure our what kind of impact we could have, as well as develop mitigation measures to address it.
Step 5: What is our ongoing responsibility? As part of our Environmental Assessment Application, we develop a range of management plans that describe in detail, how we plan to manage a variety of issues over the length our project is operating. But just because we have those plans, it doesn’t mean we stop looking for ways to make things better. Throughout operations, we will incorporate new information as it becomes available, and we will review our plans to ensure they’re working the way they were intended.
LNG Canada recognizes that the environment and natural surroundings are vital to the community. We are dedicated to working independently and with the community to identify and carry out ways to reduce and mitigate the impact of our facility footprint on the natural surroundings – in the Kitimat Valley, the Kitimat watershed and the Kitimat airshed.

MINIMIZING ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND BRINGING BENEFITS TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES Kitimat and the region are familiar with industry and industrial development. Many people have told us that they welcome our project and the benefits it will bring, but only if these benefits don’t come at too high a cost to the wellbeing of the community and the sustainability of the environment. As part of our Environmental Assessment, we looked at both: what will our proposed project contribute to the community, and what potential impacts will it have? We are confident that the measures we are proposing to avoid, reduce and mitigate potential effects of our project means that the benefits of LNG industry development in northern British Columbia will make a lasting contribution to the communities in which we aspire to operate.
LNG Canada acknowledges the importance the community places on our company being an excellent corporate citizen and neighbour that contributes to the community. In addition to providing training, jobs and economic benefits, we will make social investments important to the community to positively impact community needs and priorities.

UNDERSTANDING AND PRESERVING COMMUNITY WAY OF LIFE IS A PRIORITY Some of the benefits our proposed project would bring, such as jobs during construction, can also create challenges if not managed properly. LNG Canada will build a worker accommodation village to house the majority of the workers during the construction phase.
Based on our experience on other major projects and our consultation with the community, we have adopted a number of principles designed to prevent or reduce any added pressure on local community services. For example, the worker accommodation village will have its own water, sewage, health and recreational facilities. Community health is also an important consideration. We evaluated the potential effects our project air emissions could have on community health and results indicate that while we would contribute air emissions, it would not be in such a way that the overall health of the public or the environment could be affected. Responsibly managing air emissions is a key design and operations priority for LNG Canada and will remain so throughout the life of our project.
LNG Canada understands that the ongoing wellbeing of the community and the environment are of paramount importance. LNG Canada will consider the health and safety of local residents, employees and contractors in every decision we make.
RESPECTING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE KITIMAT RIVER ESTUARY AND THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT In our Assessment, we studied the potential effects our project could have on a number of species, including birds, fish, bears and whales. Residents have told us that access to, and protection of, the Kitimat River Estuary and the coastal waters off of Kitimat are very important. This is why so many of our proposed management measures focus on protecting the health and accessibility of these valued resources.
• We will contribute to programs that restore ecological wetlands that are important for amphibian and bird breeding • We will observe the area during construction to determine how fish and other wildlife respond to our proposed measures and adapt our approach as needed
These management measures include: • LNG carriers will slow to speeds of 8 – 10 knots to reduce underwater noise and the chance of collisions with marine mammals • We will design our facility to optimize tidal flows and allow Anderson and Moore Creeks to flow unobstructed to the Kitimat River Estuary, and to provide safe passage for bears and other wildlife

HELPING B.C. ACHIEVE THE CLEANEST LNG We have designed our facility to be one of the world’s best performing LNG facilities in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. We will accomplish this by using a combination of energy-efficient natural gas turbines to drive the refrigeration compressors in the liquefaction process, and renewable electricity to be provided by BC Hydro. We will also reuse heat recovered from gas turbine exhausts to reduce fuel consumption required in other processes on the site. Recently, the B.C. government set new standards for greenhouse gas emissions for the emerging B.C. LNG industry of 0.16 tonnes of carbon dioxide per tonne of LNG produced. LNG Canada estimates our proposed facility will have a greenhouse gas emission intensity of about 0.15 tonne CO2e/tonne LNG produced, which is lower than these standards and among the lowest CO2-emitting LNG facilities in the world.
LNG Canada recognizes it will be one company among other industrial companies operating in the community. We will work with other local industry leaders to manage and mitigate cumulative social and environmental impacts, and create opportunities to enhance local benefits associated with industrial growth.

Rotary auction gets high return THE 54TH annual Terrace Rotary Auction came close to last year’s record amount of money raised. This year, $44,000 was raised compared to last year’s $46,000. That’s with a total value of $72,000 for the 405 items, which gave a return of about 73 per cent, said auction chair Brian Downie. Nearly all of the bids came in online, 95 per cent, said Downie. New this year was the live audio and video of the auction on its website. “People liked it and it allowed us to get outside of the Citywest cable audience. Those on satellite could pick it up so it was great and we’re going to keep it for next year,’ said Downie. The highest valued item, 200,000 Aeroplan points, valued at $7,500 went to the bidder who paid $4,100. “So that hopefully will be an item in next year’s auction,” said Downie. Expected for next year, but ready this year without much advertising of it, was the addition of an app for cell phone users. “It allowed you to navigate a lot easier through the different items and rebid on particular items,” said Downie. “I think that will be very popular.” After the auction, the rotary club sent out an email to buyers to ask what they liked and what they would like to see and some ideas for improvement have already come back to the club he added. “We certainly appreciate the support of businesses that donate items or services or cash,” said Downie. “That’s what really makes the auction.” The auction and the Riverboat Days Duck Race are the two major fundraisers for the Terrace Rotary Club.

Marching bands have been part of contemporary Nisga’a culture for over 100 years and the Vancouver performance is being heralded as a celebration of this enduring tradition that has become woven into the fabric of the riverine communities. “We’ve united the bands so we could have a big band,” said band
member of 60 years and Gitwinksihlkw band council member Alvin Azak. The troupe of 75 performers drawn from the bands representing Gitwinksihlkw, New Aiyansh, Greenville and Gingolx will join other performers in the parade that’s happening the day before the Grey Cup. According to Azak, the fact that the bands are grouping together shows how the Nass Valley has changed as transportation has become easier in modern times. “The culture is such that whenever friends or family are celebrat-
ing or grieving, we gather to celebrate or grieve. Each band from each community would travel and they would perform,” said Azak of the long history of collaboration between bands. “Now it’s easy, we join forces.” The big band is being called “Majagalee” or the “Flower of the Nass Valley” and symbolizes how the various communities are working as one, both in terms of government and industry. The performance will include one march song called the Great Call that Azak learned in the 1950s. Some members are flying down

to Vancouver and there will also be a bus available, he said. The trip is being funded by the Nisga’a-Lisims government and the band has also applied to the proponents of various industrial projects to help out as well. “There are three distinct areas of Nisga’a culture and they have to do with relationships,” said Azak, adding that one of the areas has to do with spirituality, the other with community and the third with the environment. “The band is about the relationship with each other,” said Azak.
Festival logo contest names three winners
THE PACIFIC Northwest Music Festival (PNMF) celebrates 50 years of sharing countless numbers of outstanding performances with the public and supporting the region’s performing arts students, many of whom have gone on to pursue a career in the arts. To help celebrate this anniversary, the festival held a logo contest, and many excellent entries were received, said festival committee president Bonnie Juniper. The winner of the contest is Mackenzie Gorman, a Grade 8 student at Veritas School. Mackenzie received a cheque for $100 and her design will be featured as the program cover of the PNMF 2015 festival, as well as on posters and promotional items that will be sold during the weeks of April 16 to May 2. The quality of the entries demanded the awarding of two runner-up prizes of $50 as well. Eden Viveiros, a Grade 9 student at Veritas school, submitted an entry that will be featured on the cover of the gala concert program. Eden has participated in the festival for many years.

Couple fined heavily for hunting offences A COUPLE found guilty on several firearms and wildlife act violations will have to stay within Nisga’a traditional hunting territory when hunting, accompanying hunters or possessing hunting implements as part of their probation conditions. William Sidney David Clayton, 35, and Dionne Delia Morven, 33, were given a conditional discharge with one year of probation with large fines to pay by judge Terence Wright in provincial court here Oct. 9. Clayton was ordered to pay a total of $2,800 in fines and to abide by a five-year firearms prohibition on charges of knowingly possessing a firearm without a licence, storage etc. of a firearm contrary to regulation, hunting using light/ illumination and discharging a firearm on or across a highway. Morven will pay a total of $2,700 in fines and follow a three-year firearms prohibition on charges of occupy vehicle in which there is a fire-
arm, hunt during prohibited hours and discharging a firearm in a no shooting area. On January, 25, 2014, the pair was caught by a conservation officer, who seized a Mossberg scoped rifle from them in Rosswood. Part of their sentence was also a forfeiture order that said if an individual comes forward with registered ownership documents and a firearms licence within 90 days, that person may get the firearm back. If the firearm is not retrieved within that time limit, it will be forfeited and disposed of. Clayton and Morven also have to complete 15 hours of community work service within the first nine months of their probation. Their conditional discharge means if they complete their probation successfully without breaching any of the conditions as set out by the court, they will not have any criminal record afterward.
Man who shot helicopter given house arrest term A MAN charged with mischief for shooting at a mining company helicopter near Dease Lake received a conditional sentence with probation. Francois Brisebois, who was also charged with one count of careless use of a firearm, will spend four months under house arrest with conditions followed by
20 months on probation with conditions for the incident from last year. On July 12, 2013, the Dease Lake RCMP detachment flew officers into a Fortune Minerals exploration camp in the Klappan Mountain area, approximately 103 km southeast of Dease Lake, to respond to a call about a pilot shooting a gun at a helicopter
owned by his employer, reported police July 18, 2013. The man, who according to police had veteran-level 7,000 hours flying experience, was armed with a shotgun and safety flares, and rode an ATV up and down the camp air strip with witnesses saying they observed him shooting the gun several
times at the helicopter and attempting to set it on fire, said police. The report termed the man’s behaviour during the incident the result of a “severe emotional breakdown.” Brisebois was also ordered to pay a victim fine surcharge of $100 and is prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm for 10 years.

Mine opening date still not set A REVIEW of the Red Chris copper and gold mine’s tailings pond is finished but how that will lead to the opening of the Imperial Metals operation has yet to be determined. Conducted by a company selected by the Tahltan Central Council and paid for by Imperial, the review of the tailings pond design was a key factor in the removal of a blockade set up by dissident Tahltan members and others earlier this year. That blockade, and a subsequent one, followed the failure of the Imperial-owned tailings pond at Mount Polley in the Cariboo in August, spilling metals and other material into surrounding water bodies. Speaking from Alaska last week where he was addressing worries about the impact of B.C. mines on the Alaskan environment, mines minister Bill Bennett said his ministry has a ways to go before it and the Tahltan are on the same page about the comfort level surrounding the tailings safety at
FILE PHOTO
PROVINCIAL MINES minister Bill Bennett, far right, chats with Red Chris mine construction workers during a visit to the Imperial Metals property in 2013. the Red Chris mine. He added that the Tahltan have “unprecedented” access to technical information about the mine. “We still have discussions to take place between the government and the Tahltan, but we are well on the way to arriving at
a mutually acceptable agreement, one that will honour the aboriginal rights and interest in this area and give them the access they need to the technical information about the project,” said Bennett. “Once the mine starts operating [the Tahltan]
will be receiving 37.5 per cent of the royalties paid to the province from the project. There is nothing I am aware of that is going to delay the project,” he added. The mine, off of Hwy37 North near Iskut, has been scheduled to open this year pend-
ing receiving a tailings pond certificate of approval from the provincial government. It is to operate on power from BC Hydro’s newly-completed Northwest Transmission Line and work has been underway to finish the power connection.
The completion of the tailings impoundment review has been confirmed by Imperial Metals general manager Steve Roberston who said both Imperial and the Tahltan Central Council have copies. “The report is property of Tahltan Central Council so we are not in a position to release it or parts of it,” said Robertson. “I can confirm it was completed and we do have a copy. We plan to meet with Tahltan to go through it soon.” The Red Chris mine is to cost $570 million and have an operating life of 28 years, providing hundreds of jobs. Imperial and the Tahltan Central Council have yet to sign an impact benefits agreement setting out financial payments by the company to the central council. That agreement will also be subject to a vote by Tahltan members. Bennett was accompanied on his Alaskan trip by Tahltan Central Council president Chad Day.

From front
Candidates debate the future of Thornhill She also brought up history, saying that good relations date back many decades to Terrace founder George Little. “There has to be a level of trust and working together, not some kind of aggressive takeover or something,” said Christiansen. The debate about the future relationship, if any, continued in the mayoral portion of the forum when the two candidates, Bruce Bidgood and Carol Leclerc, presented different views. It’s important that both understand what incorporation looks like for Thornhill and what amalgamation looks like for Terrace, said Leclerc. “If it’s going to cost the city of Terrace an extensive amount of money to do a boundary extension or an amalgamation, whatever you want to call it, it needs to be looked at and we need to have really good information in front of us and we need to know going forward,” she said. And Thornhill needs to know what it’s going to cost to incorporate or perhaps consider becoming a part of Terrace, she added. “And we won’t know that until we have good information, a good study done for both Terrace and Thornhill,” she said. Bidgood, who is also the current chair of the Kitimat-Stikine regional district, took the opportunity to present an opposite view. “I believe a local community has the right to choose its own form of government. I believe the area around Thornhill is not really well-served on the regional district,” he said, adding that it is the largest unincorporated area in Canada. “Its new demands in terms of infrastructure and services is going to exceed its revenue generating capacity,” he added. Bidgood said that he would only entertain a study on amalgamation after Thornhill has pursued incorporation. During the audience question period, regional district Thornhill director Ted Ramsey said the regional district board had agreed unanimously with him to pursue incorporation, which was a lengthy three-year process that involved intensive study and review. Only the people of Thornhill could decide one way or the other, he added. “From what I hear tonight and I’m sitting here listening, there’s the possibility of your board being kind of split on that. How would you manage that split as mayor?” asked Ramsey of Leclerc. Leclerc reiterated that a good decision would be based on very good information. “The people I’ve heard from, in Thornhill actually, said it feels like they are already part of Terrace and I’m not about pushing Thornhill in any capacity into that they have to join Terrace because I don’t believe that at all,” she said. “When you’re thinking there’s probably a split on council, I think
it’s a bit premature for councillors to make that decision without having good information in front of them.” Bidgood said it was a leadership question. “I know what the support
of council is. I was there. Several times the issue of amalgamation was raised, there was no appetite [for it] on council,” he said, referring to whether council wanted to be involved in deciding what
Thornhill should do in regards to joining the city or not. “It scares me to proceed down a particular course without knowing what council wants to do, second of all, to proceed without consult-
ing the people affected is foolhardy. “I think a mayor works with his council and does not unnecessarily create adversarial relationships with their local governments. I want to cooperate with them.”

Kitimat killer felt like he was in a movie REPEATED VIEWINGS of a violent movie called “Kill Bill” and two days of heavy drinking preceded a shocking murder in Kitimat in October 2011, a Terrace court heard here in Terrace Nov. 5. Tyler Scott Eli told psychiatrists he felt like he was in a movie and could kill someone without getting caught, a packed courtroom heard as Mr. Justice Robert Punnett read his reasons for his judgement on Eli after a lengthy trial. Punnett said the Crown had to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt and succeeded. Punnett found Eli guilty of the second degree murder of Maria Rego, attempted murder of Gualter Rego and break and enter with intent to commit an offence. On October 9, 2011, around 7 a.m., Kitimat RCMP were called to a residence in the Whitesail area for an alleged break and enter with assault, whereby officers found a man and woman, who had been assaulted and were in need of immediate medical help, said police in a release at
that time. Both went to hospital in Kitimat where the woman died from her injuries and the man had surgery and was listed in stable condition, reported police. An autopsy was scheduled to confirm the woman's exact cause of death, said police. A 19-year-old man was arrested nearby without incident, said police. Kitimat RCMP, North District Major Crimes, Forensic Identification, Regional GIS (major cases) and E Division Serious Crime Unit were brought in to investigate. Eli's defence argument was that he was in a delirium caused by alcohol or drug consumption but all the evidence shows he was not in a delirium, said Punnett. An expert witness had testified during trial that if Eli smoked marijuana at 11 p.m., it would be out of his system by 5 a.m., court heard. Whether he intended to kill anyone was a question but there certainly was intent, said Punnett. Eli had said he wanted to hurt or kill and see blood, he removed
his shoes to muffle the sound of his entry into the residence through a window, got a knife from the kitchen and stabbed both residents, court heard. If Mr. Rego hadn't fought back, he would've been killed too, court heard. Rego managed to get him out of the bedroom and barricaded himself in. Eli’s attempts to get back into the room showed he had intent and he said he wanted to take Rego down. Rego suffered significant stab wounds to his torso that required immediate surgery and death was possible. A pre-sentence report will be done before sentencing to assist the judge. A date for sentencing will be fixed at a later date. Crown prosecutors said they would ask for a sentence of more than 10 years. A charge of aggravated assault was stayed by the court. Eli elected for his trial to be heard by judge alone. It took place over periods of time in May, June and August of this year.

Man arrested after struggle A MAN is being held for a bail hearing after being charged for resisting arrest and assaulting a peace officer, allegedly trying to grab for a shard of glass at one point during the arrest. Cali Ronald Harold Peal-Barton has been charged with wilfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer, assaulting a peace officer and a breach of undertaking or recognizance after Terrace RCMP were called about a man passed out inside a restaurant on Lakelse Ave. between Oct. 31 and Nov. 3. After police woke the 20-year-old
man, he jumped over a booth and ran into the washroom where officers gained control of him after a struggle, reported police Nov. 3. When escorting the man out, he lunged backward, causing the officer to back into a glass picture frame which smashed, covering the officer and man in broken glass, said police. Additional police officers were called to assist. The man was in breach of a recognizance condition not to consume alcohol, said police. There was also a warrant for his arrest out of Prince Rupert.

B.C. HYDRO’S Northwest Transmission Line is 344 kilometres long and is made up of 1,097 towers.
Surplus transmission towers are recycled THE BENEFITS which flowed to the area from the construction of BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line even filtered down to scrap metal dealers. That’s because unused transmission line towers and other material surplus to the construction of the $746 million project were scrapped and the material sold onward for recycling. “Any good contractor always orders extra to account for field fit issues, problems in the field, redesign, etc.,” a BC Hydro statement indicated on the surplus material. “The tower manufacturer provided our contractor Valard Burns & McDonnell with an ex-
tra tower of each type with the condition being that if [Valard Burns and McDonnell] used the tower, they would pay the manufacturer for it. If they did not, the tower would be scrapped and the scrap proceeds remitted to the manufacturer,” the statement continued. As to the exact amount of material, BC Hydro said 20 extra complete guy towers, in which towers are secured to the ground not only by their foundations but by guy wires, were left. The Northwest Transmission Line consists of 1,094 towers in all and were manufactured by a company in India. Added to the surplus material was 270 bundles of parts that
could have been used on all towers. BC Hydro also said selling the material for scrap did not affect the project’s cost as it was part of the contractor’s expense and part of their contingency planning. Meanwhile, main Northwest Transmission Line contractor Valard has moved out four of the construction camps it established that were located along the 344km transmission line route. A small camp, one that supplemented the main camp in the Nass Valley, was given to the Nisga’a, said Valard in an email. A few Valard employees are still in the area, finishing reclamation work connected with the project.

ENBRIDGE IS gathering names of people and companies interested in potential pipeline work.
Pipeline interest shown JUST OVER 2,000 people and businesses have signed up in the expectation of eventual employment and contracts arising from Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project. The resumes and information have come in since February when Enbridge created a website to gather information from interested parties along the 1,100 km planned pipeline length in B.C. and in Alberta. Broken down the number translates into 1,726 individual resumes, or which 71 per cent are from B.C., 366 from business sub-contractors of which 70 per cent are from B.C. and 42 from large contractors of which 38 per cent are from B.C., says Enbridge official Catherine Pennington. “Since June we’ve had 400 individual resumes submitted,” said Pennington of the month Northern Gateway was approved by the federal governing provided it meets 209
regulatory conditions. “It shows us people are interested in the project.” Pennington spoke following a late October event in Prince George, one of three held so far for businesses interested in bidding on portions of the project which carries a price tag approaching $8 billion. And based on the numbers of resumes filed, Pennington felt confident the company will be able to exceed one of its commitments and that’s to have more than 15 per cent of a pipeline workforce be aboriginal. “It’s a number we received from conversations with the community. It was really driven by community feedback, that we could do 15 per cent,” said Pennington. The resume numbers received also speak to Enbridge spending on trades and other training so that people are ready for employment, she said. “In northern B.C. alone it’s $2.7
million,” Pennington continued. She said Enbridge’s commitments toward regional employment and business contracting will extend to making local hire and contracting provisions part of any contracts signed with the kind of large companies that will undertake the larger construction contracts. “This is no longer going to be a nicety. It’s going to be a requirement that has to be met,” said Pennington. She added that the number of individual and businesses signing up in anticipation of pipeline construction should be balanced against claims by area politicians of widespread opposition to Northern Gateway. “I think what it tells me clearly is the people who have an interest in this project would disagree,” said Pennington of those statements by politicians being made.

ENBRIDGE IS staying the course in its bid to bring an oil pipeline through the northwest to a planned export terminal in Kitimat. In town last month for a presentation at Northwest Community College, Enbridge official Donny van Dyk said rerouting to Prince Rupert isn’t in the cards. “At this junction we have not contemplated any regulatory application to change the terminal site,” said Van Dyk. “Before filing we reviewed sites all the way from Alaska to Washington State, the entire western North American sea board and Kitimat. Based on a totality of science and engineering, Kitimat was the best site based on overall safety.” Newly-chosen Alberta premier Jim Prentice has mentioned that Enbridge would do well to explore alternative routes that would allow it to steer clear from the tanker corridor flanked on all sides by First Nations and others, including northwestern municipalities, who oppose the project. Van Dyk did say that Prince Rupert was considered when Enbridge first studied possible sites for an export terminal but that Kitimat “won the day.” At the event, local officials and residents were offered chicken wings and other refreshments as they toured a number booths helmed by experts in the field of pipeline management. The open house aimed at showing the work Enbridge has done to fulfill the 209 conditions imposed by a federal Joint Review Panel, of which the National Energy Board was a participant, when it gave conditional environmental acceptance for the project in December 2013. The federal government gave its approval to the project this past June, but said the company would first need to meet the 209 conditions ranging anywhere from environmental projection to First Nations employment. The consultation in towns along the proposed route is also a response to the federal government’s call for more consultation when it conditionally approved the project. Van Dyk said the public consultation information will be submitted to the NEB in early 2015, and is part of a three-phase implementation of the 209 conditions that must happen before and during the construction of the project. The company does plan to begin construction by 2016 and to be in service by 2018. But the company does say these dates are optimistic and that it will also have to deal with multiple court actions filed by opposing area First Nations opposing the project. Those actions were begun after conditional federal approval was given.

Expert revs up schools
By ANNA KILLEN
TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, student support workers, and others with a vested interest in the area’s education system received a jolt of motivation late last month with a threeday visit from Chris Weber, known in educational circles for his track record improving underachieving school districts. The jaunty educational consultant and speaker hails from Chicago where he was a teacher and administrator. He has written several books on his method, called ‘Response to Intervention’, and works with school districts across North America (in B.C. he’s been in Port Hardy, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, amongst others) in an attempt to inspire and instill a positive shift in student learning outcomes. What he specifically teaches to districts might be a bit abstract for the person untrained in academic, educational language, but at the root of it, the message is about ways educators can work more efficiently, together. “What we teach is that we recognize that the differences – the revisions to our schools that are necessary – are not going to be related to working harder,” said Weber over lunch during his Oct. 23 appearance here. “We’re already working as hard as possible. So what else? And the ‘what else’ is to see how we can better work together.” Organization, communication, and intelligent assessment are
all part of improving student outcomes – and the educational environment as a whole. “There are proven processes within that you can embed in your school, in your practice, that help you work smarter,” he said, noting that the philosophy encourages educators and the district as a whole to become more responsive and personalized in its teaching. Much of what he discusses teachers and administrators already know, Weber emphasized. He just acts as a coach, providing a springboard for future change. There are myriad ways to work better, and Weber visited with individual schools throughout the three days, providing support on a more personalized level before a day-long professional development workshop at the REM Lee Theatre Oct. 23 that saw more than 200 teachers, administrators, educational support workers, and others take part. “I have several staff members here, teachers and support workers, and just based on the conversations that we’ve had over the last day-and-a-half there’s a lot of excitement and enthusiasm following up with what Chris is sharing with us,” said Phil Baron, principal at Skeena Jr. Secondary School. “We’re really pleased at the number of people who have come,” said Dave Bartley, director of instruction, learner support at the Coast Mountains School District. “We need to remember that this is a non-

The one-on-one time with school teams over the week was beneficial because each team is at a different level and Weber was able to assess their needs on a school-by-school basis. He’ll be back in the spring for a follow-up tour. The district is looking to keep the momentum from the visit going. “We spent some time with Chris yesterday talking about, OK what is his advice for us in making sure we continue to support this work and help the learning grow,” said Bartley. “I think we’re all pretty clear we can’t just count on someone flying in once or twice a year to help us make the difference, it’s got to really come from within at some point.” That’s a sentiment echoed by Weber. “The educators of Coast Mountains, of B.C., of the US and Canada, they know what to do,” he said, noting his support is “a reminder, maybe some ideas or resources that we’ve used in other places that they may be able to manipulate and use for themselves.”

Anti-Enbridge stance defines candidates’ group By ANNA KILLEN WHAT LOOKS to be a coalition of Terrace city council candidates running for re-election who voted together to pass a council resolution opposing Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline has surfaced. The four, councillor Bruce Bidgood who is now running for mayor, and councillors Lynne Christiansen, James Cordeiro and Stacey Tyers, are all featured on business card-sized cards being distributed around town. Under the heading “Re-elect opposition to Enbridge” the four are listed and the bottom of the card reads, “They had the courage to lead now they need our support.” Speaking last week, Bidgood said the group dates back to January 2012 when as members of the current city council elected in 2011, they voted together, along with councillor Marylin Davies who resigned earlier this year because she was moving away, to oppose the shipping of oil via pipeline and of tankers on the north coast. “The purpose of these cards was to remind people of who did and did not vote in favour of city council’s motion to oppose tanker expansion and raw bitumen shipments by pipeline across B.C.,” said Bidgood. “It is just a statement of fact.” He confirmed he “specifically approved the content” of the cards and signs and that they were paid for “by the combined contributions of anonymous donors from a cooperative fundraiser for candidates opposed to Enbridge (Northern Gateway).” That fundraiser was a spaghetti plate fundraiser held at Bidgood’s house Oct. 25, with a suggested donation of $20 a plate. One other nonincumbent candidate, Brenda Wesley, attended the fundraiser, which, according to a post on Bidgood’s Facebook page, resulted in monies being “equitably distributed among

ONE MAYORAL candidate and three councillor candidates, are seeking election under an anti-Enbridge Northern Gateway theme. all of the candidates who participated.” The cards have led supporters of mayoral candidate Carol Leclerc to charge that the four are running as a slate and, if all are elected, will have a majority vote on council which is made up of six councillors and the mayor. But that suggestion is denied by the candidates named on the card. “We aren’t a slate,” said Tyers last week. “It’s just a reminder that the four of us voted in opposition and if the numbers change that could change. Aside from our opposition to Enbridge we have pretty varying platforms unlike a slate... we’ve worked together for three years it makes sense to have some shared visions and goals” That point was echoed by Cordeiro following the all candidates forum Nov. 5. “The vote is on public record, so when I was asked about (his name being on the campaign literature highlighting Enbridge opposition), my answer was ‘Well it’s a statement of fact, so if that’s what you’re going to do, that’s what you’re going to do.’ I didn’t have a veto,” he said. Christiansen also said that it was a fact that she voted that way, adding she didn’t help pay for the cards’ printing. Bidgood addressed the issue directly at the all-candidates meeting Nov. 5. “No, this is not a
slate that will act in concerted action and it was never intended to be,” he said in response to a question from audience member Bert Husband, a Leclerc supporter who also nominated council candidate Lucy Praught. “What it does signify is a new level of cooperation where existing city councillors can help out new city councillors. And if that represents some sort of slate or conspiracy, I’d say so be it,” said Bidgood. “But on the other hand, I would be absolutely remiss if I didn’t suggest that there is another slate or another group of people working in concert who are doing it in the backroom of coffee shops and things of that nature,” he concluded, adding that to call out only one group of like-minded candidates is “unfair.” First-time council candidates Michael Prevost and Wesley appear in a photograph on Bidgood’s Facebook page with incumbent councillors at an Oct. 16 event billed as being put on by a group labelled as “Terrace Councillors Against Enbridge”, which Bidgood said is not an official name. The event was staged so that Skeena – Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen could promote his tanker-ban private members’ bill. Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin was also at that event. Prevost said he had prior engagements the night of the Oct. 25 fundraiser and was unable to attend.

ELECTION 2014
Former mayor’s name surfaces at forum JACK TALSTRA hasn’t sat at a Terrace city council table since 2008 but the former mayor’s name came up repeatedly at an all candidates forum Nov. 5 leading to the Nov. 15 municipal election. He was praised several times by candidates for being the inspiration behind the city’s Skeena Industrial Development Park, consisting of more than 2,000 acres located just south of the Northwest Regional Airport. It was a Talstra council more than a decade ago which first promoted the idea of an industrial away from the downtown area of Terrace. That brought on successful negotiations resulting in an option to purchase the large parcel of provincial Crown land for resale to industrial concerns. The option permits the city to buy the Crown land after it first negotiated the sale of it to those wishing to locate industries at the site.
Jack Talstra Council candidates, mostly ones running for re-election, noted that the long term goal of the park is to house industries which will pay taxes and provide jobs. In response to a question from audience member Greer Kaiser about the possibility of an influx of temporary foreign workers to be mostly employed at any industries located on the half of the park which has been bought by a Chinese economic development zone, mayoral candidate Bruce Bidgood noted that
while immigration is a federal matter, the sales contract with the Chinese agency contains safeguards. “If the company does not develop the land, the city has the option to buy it back. That’s a legacy of Jack Talstra’s,” said Bidgood in adding that the sales contract followed the risk averse philosophy of the former mayor. Current city councillor Lynne Christiansen, who is seeking re-election, noted what she termed as Talstra’s “vision” in the development of the park. And James Cordeiro, also running for reelection, called the park a “dream” of Talstra’s now coming true. During the mayoral candidate portion of the evening, when there was vigorous debate over whether candidates were grouping together to promote common causes, Carol Leclerc noted Talstra’s leadership style during her previous stint on council.
“There was no discussion ahead of time,” said Leclerc, adding that “it was about being independent ….” But one hallmark of Talstra’s latter years in office, the purchase of the former Terrace Coop property for $1 million by the city in 2005, came in for criticism. Referring to the ongoing cost of environmental remediation of the property in order to get a clean bill of health for resale, several candidates said it was a mistake to have made the purchase in the first place. Council candidate Sean Bujtas, for one, noted that the city has foregone tax revenue from the land over the years. But, he concluded, “if [remediation] comes at a cost, it needs to be done [in order for the land] to be developed. Talstra served as mayor for years but was defeated in 2008 by Dave Pernarowski who was re-elected in 2011 but is not running again.

Kings haunt Demons at home THE TERRACE River Kings spooked the Kitimat Ice Demons with a 6-3 win on Halloween night at the Terrace Sportsplex. That put Terrace’s CIHL team at 5-1 going into last Saturday’s game against the Smithers Steelheads, results of which were not known at press deadline. Terrace opened up the scoring against the Demons Oct. 31 with
a goal by Derick Jurista (Chapen Leblond, Nick Homeniuk) five minutes into the first, following that up six-and-a-half minutes later with one from Chapen Leblond (Luke Gordon, Corbin Legros). Two minutes into the second, on the power play, Luke Gordon (Leblond, Legros) made it 3-0 before the Demons’ Josh Slanina (Craig Vienneau, Jeff Mildenberger) put
Kitimat on the board at 2:44 into the period. But Terrace’s Calen Findlay (Jordan Peddle, Corbin Legros) made it 4-1 at 4:17 before the Demons’ began to close the gap with a goal by Steven Venman (Josh Slanina, Jeff Mildenberger) at 9:56. Entering the third 4-2, the Kings knocked two past Kitimat
goalie Shahar Moudahi – Lee Muir (Corbin Legros, Patrick Leal) at 3:28 and Luke Gordon (Chapen Leblond, Derick Jurista) at 4:19 – early on, and the Demons weren’t able to recover. Kitimat’s Derek Wakita (Brad Lueck, Terry Whelan) scored on the power play at 7:45 to make the final score 6-3. Moudahi closed the game with
Busy start to the skating season THE TERRACE Skating Club (TSC) has been off to a busy season with figure skating starting in August, followed by intense Can Power Skate sessions in September for ringette and hockey players. The club brought up a guest coach from Delta, B.C. for a club figure skating seminar at the end of September. “This is a huge bonus for our skaters to get coaching from a National/world level coach, very inspirational,” said skating club coach Jennifer Kuehne in an email. Can Skate and Tot Skate started in October, with full enrolment, and the skaters are learning the basics so they can one day move into figure skating, ringette or hockey – or just to skate on the lake. And the TSC held a club competition Nov. 1 where all figure skaters competed against each other (compared to their level).
The top three skaters were: Gold - Camryn Monsen; Silver- Makayla Forrest; Bronze - Alayna Fowler. Figure skaters are currently preparing for the Northwest Jamboree in Smithers on Nov. 15 and 16. It’s a fun competition where all skaters are put on different teams with skaters from other northwest clubs and compete as a group. The weekend following, Nov. 21 - 23 most of the TSC figure skaters will be testing in Kitimat to try to move up in levels. Figure skaters are also preparing for the Kla-How-Ya competition in Prince Rupert the first weekend in December. And here at home, the club will be putting on its annual Christmas Exhibition on Thursday, Dec. 18 in CONTRIBUTED PHOTO the early evening.

Terrace ringette takes on northwest rivals
NORTHWEST RINGETTE teams are heading into their second tournament of the season this weekend in Prince George, looking to intensify competition which began at the Terrace tournament late last month. The northwest league is comprised of teams from Terrace, Prince George, Houston and Quesnel, and the players get to know each other and the different styles of play as the season progresses, leading to healthy competition. Terrace's younger teams had a strong showing at the Terrace tournament, held the last weekend in October, and have impressive numbers this year. “It's wonderful to see a lot of younger kids playing ... the younger groups did very well,” said Terrace Ringette Association's Erika Nicholson. “They're the foundation.” And the “B” U16 team “held their own” against a strong “A” division Prince George team, an experience that Nicholson said will push the Terrace players to up their game. She said it will be interesting to see how they respond playing the same team this coming weekend and to note the improvement. Terrace ringette usually stands out in the northwest league and against teams that are drawing from a larger pool of players, she said, noting that the goal is to always have the number of players in Terrace grow. “The kids that play it absolutely love it,” she said, noting that it's a true team sport and “you can't be a lone star.” It's typical for there to be higher numbers in the younger teams than in the older teams, as is the case in many sports. But there are many players who

stay involved in ringette until they are in their 40s – the key is to let players know about those opportunities. “It's not just hockey that has that,” said Nicholson, noting there are rec league ringette opportunities just as there are rec league hockey opportunities. To that end, three Terrace ringette players travelled to the Lower Mainland last weekend for an

Calm seas was a welcome report to our ears as Mike’s plan for that spring day was to ride Mileed to the Dala River, run up as far as the low water would permit, catch some newly arrived late winter steelhead, drop back into the Kildala Arm, then jet up the river that gives that body of water its name and look for some grizzly bears. In minutes we had the necessary gear in the truck. A few minutes later, the boat was attached to Mike’s ancient pickup, which was only on its second of four engines and second of three paint jobs at the time, and we were cruising down River Drive toward Highway 37. As we began the descent from the airport, I looked to see that the sky was shot with blue holes. It seemed to be on the verge of opening up completely when we reached Onion Lake Flats. It pretty much stayed that way until we made the turn toward the Haisla village when the sky darkened and the tree tops began to bend. Even then I knew enough to know that spring on the North Coast is a jittery time of year with an inherent unpredictability that trumps that of the other seasons. Violent storms happen on the north
open tournament with a team from Prince George. It's a league that sees mostly players in their 30s and 40s – very experienced players – but the Prince George team is mainly players in their 20s. And it's another example of the close-knit ringette community, with many of the players having been involved in the league for years – and developing healthy rivalries as a result.

Travels with Mike II
Using a distant land mass as a gauge, I satisfied myself that we were making progress against the pounding waves and took a small degree of comfort from that fact. Jet boats are river craft. Even though Mike had designed Mileed with hull more amenable to seafaring than other jet boats, she was not a boat for demanding seas. Mike struggled to keep her from yawing but it was hopeless. The distant shore to starboard wasn’t looming yet but it was less distant. We must have been getting leeward of that landmass for the waves were suddenly smaller. The boat no longer struggled against them. I looked back at Mike. He looked determined and confident. Soon were jetting over chop, rapidly approaching the back end of the arm and the Dala River. Relief washed over me, then a joy made more intense by the danger of a short time before. Mike was giddy too. He ran the boat up the skinny river with a boyish enthusiasm. On the way back out, he purposely jumped a barely submerged cottonwood that had fallen across a side channel. By late afternoon we were bathed in orange sunlight, cruising across a sea so flat it could be mistaken for a large lagoon. Mike made straight for Bish Creek where we fished steelhead and sea run Dolly Varden until there was just enough time to make the boat launch before dark.

Tahoe is up to the big towing tasks By Zack Spencer
The all-new 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is part of a full suite of large trucks from General Motors. These range from the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Denali and the Cadillac Escalade. Something of interest is the preference Canadians have for the GMC brand over the Chevrolet trucks, which are the most popular in the United States. More Canadians go for GMC and the US loves Chevrolet, the complete reverse. Regardless, all of these GM trucks represent the majority of full-size truck sales in Canada. GM kind of has a lock on big vehicles able to move a large family, tow a trailer and now do it with much greater efficiency. These are all based on the award winning full-size Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks that arrived in 2014. GM has taken much of what made those some of the most comfortable vehicles to drive and baked it into the Tahoe and others. Looks In the Chevrolet family the Tahoe is the short wheelbase version and the Suburban is the longer wheelbase model, with much more cargo space behind the third row of seats. Some might find the new design direction from GM to be a bit too slabsided, with squarer edges and boxy shapes but I prefer the modern take on the classic design. The Tahoe sits very high off the ground so the power side step is a wonderful addition along with a power tailgate and backup camera. How did we ever live
without these amenities before? The biggest change is the front lighting package GM has used on this Chevrolet. LED daytime running lights make a statement and the monster grille with the big Chevrolet bowtie looks rough and ready. Inside One of the biggest changes in the full-size pickup trucks is the level of refinement and ride quality and this has migrated into this Tahoe, the cabin is quiet and refined. This is done through a number of advancements; 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. ZACK SPENCER one of the biggest is the way the doors wrap into the roof to help shut out road and wind noise. The next big Drive advantage is the attention The two-wheel drive Tahoe is the value to detail in the front cabin. leader in the GM line of full-size trucks, There is a big screen, front starting at $51,900-- the GMC comes with a and centre, with easy to $2000 premium over the Chevy. Yes, this is use and access rotary dials an expensive vehicle but keep in mind that and switches. There are USB towing is a big reason why people purchase plugs along with regular such big trucks. With a towing capacity power outlets just under of 3856kg (8500 lbs.) in two-wheel drive More Canadians the radio and more USB trim and 3765 (8300 lbs.) with four wheel plugs inside the glove box go for GMC and the drive, the Tahoe is up to the task of towing and yet another behind the most pleasure boats and family campers US loves Chevrolet, radio screen that slides up with ease. The Tahoe uses the same 355hp and away to reveal a hidden the complete 5.3L V8 engine found in the full-size pickup compartment. The back seats reverse. trucks.

tricks help improve city fuel economy by seven percent and highway consumption by ten percent. Verdict The Tahoe tested was the top LTZ trim with the magnetic ride control, the same system used in the Corvette Stingray. This system monitors the road condition up to 1000 times per second and adjusts the shock absorbers up to 100 times per second to improve ride and handling. This along with the smooth engine and quiet ride makes the Tahoe feel like a big, luxury sedan. It is no wonder that people who have these big trucks love them. One thing to consider when choosing which truck to buy is the available engine. The GMC Denali and Cadillac Escalade trucks have a larger 6.2L V8, which is much quicker and more capable. This Tahoe is just part of the full-line of trucks from GM that dominate the market, and for good reason. These are well-designed, well-made and supremely comfortable vehicles for a large family. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 5.3L V8 with 355hp Fill-up: 14.9L/10.1L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $51,900-$71,150

Staying safe means stowing your cell
By Lauren Kramer
My kids have my permission to yell at their dad whenever they spot him using his cell phone while driving. Which, unfortunately, is often. I’ve coached them on what to say: “You’re putting my safety at risk,” “You’re breaking the law,” and “Dad, put your phone away this minute!” I’m not alone when I say my biggest fear is that someone I love will be in a horrific, life-changing, potentially fatal car accident. And every time a driver picks up their phone while operating a car, that accident becomes increasingly likely. We’re all doing it, but we know we shouldn’t. Sneaking peeks at our cell phones while

we’re driving has become an irresistible temptation as more and more of us become addicted to checking email, responding to texts and answering calls whenever they come in – and no matter what is going on around us. It’s easy to rationalize. “This will just take a second,” we think, exaggerating the amount of time it takes to, say, respond to a text message. According to the Canadian Automobile Association the average distraction time for this task is 22.6 seconds, the distance of 373 metres of travel at 40 km/h and the equivalent of four intersections or 68 parked cars. But it’s not just the texting time that’s so perilous, it’s the time it will take you to regain your focus on the road, to bring your car to a standstill if you have to. Perception, reaction and braking time

after a distraction like this – even something as minor as hitting two letters to type “OK” - is 25 metres, the equivalent of a lineup of 17 people. That’s a long time when you’re controlling a powerful, hunk of metal like a car. The truth is that cell phones have become every much as dangerous an addiction when driving as inebriation – even more so because they lack the ugly stigma associated with drunk driving. Yet the probability of being in a crash while you are distracted is horrifying. Texting, even just a word? You are 23 times more likely to crash. Talking on your cell phone – four-to-five times more likely. And reading that ‘urgent’ email that simply couldn’t wait makes you three times more likely to be in a potentially fatal accident, according to research by CAA.

Findings by ICBC show that distracted driving is the second leading contributing factor of vehicle fatalities in BC. That’s why, October 20, new penalties for distracted drivers were implemented in this province. If you are caught with your cell phone in hand or programming your GPS while driving, you’ll get a $167 fine and a deduction of three penalty points. It’s a rap on the knuckles but also a reminder to fight our addiction to electronic devices while we’re driving. Because the fact is, for even the best drivers, it’s impossible to safely split your attention while you’re driving. Don’t be fooled if you’ve been lucky thus far, because driving while distracted and not crashing or causing an accident has more to do with luck than competence. And seriously, why wait for luck to run

out? Overcoming that cell phone addiction on the road is as easy as turning off your phone and putting it in the glove box or trunk of your car, where you absolutely cannot reach it while you are driving. That’s what instructors at Mercedes Benz Driving Academy insist their students do when they step into a car. Yes, I know, you are expecting an important call so you don’t want your phone off. In that case, Bluetooth or wired headsets (worn only in one ear unless you are on a motorbike) are the next best thing. But the key is to make sure your phone is out of reach, because when it is within stretching distance, it’s a pinging candy bar most of us can’t refuse.
