Fisheries advocate honoured NORTHWEST ANGLERS, government officials, and friends and family of Tom Protheroe gathered to honour the well-known fisheries advocate as he received the 2014 National Recreational Fisheries Award last week. Calling Protheroe “an incredible advocate, an incredible individual, and someone I truly call a friend,” area director of fisheries and oceans Canada Mel Kotyk presented Protheroe with the award, in the form of a plaque, on behalf of federal fisheries minister Gail Shea at a ceremony held at the Skeena Valley Golf and Country Club on Saturday.
Kotyk highlighted Protheroe’s mentorship and teaching abilities, his ability to collaborate and negotiate, as well as his many accomplishments and positions held over his 40-plus year career, noting the honour “is not just because of what you’re done, it’s because of who you are.” In his acceptance speech, Protheroe noted that “to me, our having a national recreational fisheries awards process confirms indirectly that the federal government, through the minister of fisheries, recognizes the value of recreational angling – both monetarily and socially.
“It also indirectly recognizes that recreational angling is the way in which Canadian public accesses our common property, fish resources,” he continued, adding that the award is just as much for the people he’s worked with as it is his. Beginning his career in the early ‘70s, Protheroe said “I had no idea that I’d still be involved some 45 years later.” Why does he keep going after all of these years? “I’m a player. I cannot stand being on the sidelines. My nature is I have to be in the game,” he said. “This game for me is not yet over.”

Leclerc tops mayor’s poll FORMER CITY councillor Carol Leclerc is to be the next mayor of Terrace following a win over challenger and current city councillor Bruce Bidgood based on votes counted for the Nov. 15 Terrace municipal election. Early results from advance polls, special voting places at health care facilities and mail in ballots provided Leclerc with a lead she never relinquished. Results, which were unofficial as of Nov. 15, gave Leclerc 1,456 votes compared to 969 for Bidgood. Leclerc, who will be sworn in next month as mayor for a four-year term, will be the first woman to sit in the mayor’s chair in the city’s history. She has council experience thanks to several terms beginning in 2003 and ending in 2011 when she decided not to run again. Speaking on election night, Leclerc said she was very happy. “I had no idea, absolutely no idea... the numbers were coming in and it was looking positive,” said Leclerc of her victory. Leclerc said her first priority would be to gather the new council together with city staffers to work on a strategic plan for the next four years. “We are going to start the planning process right off the bat. I campaigned on being inclusive and to me it’s being inclusive with council. It’s not just what I think is important it’s what all of council thinks is important. It depends on the new council and which way we are going to go together,” said Leclerc. She listed transportation, the ongoing effort by the city to set out mixed development plans for a former sawmill site on Keith Ave. and green space as important priorities. Bidgood said he was disappointed by the results, adding he thought the count would be closer. “But I know that we’ve done the very best we can do... The electorate have chosen, we have to respect it. “I thought it would be a little bit tighter,” Bidgood added of the results. Bidgood was also chair of the Kitimat-Stikine regional district this year. In the race for city council, the four current councillors who were running again were all returned to office. Lynne Christiansen topped the polls with 1,663 votes followed by Brian Downie with 1,546 votes and James Cordeiro with 1,356 votes. Newcomers Sean Bujtas and Michael Prevost followed with 1,325 and 1,245 votes respectively with the fourth incumbent, Stacey Tyers, claiming the final council seat with 1,229 votes. Two new faces were guaranteed on city council regardless as Marylin Davies resigned earlier this year because she moved away and Bidgood decided to make a run for the mayor’s chair. Unsuccessful in their council bids were Lucy Praught with 979 votes, Allan McIntyre with 962 votes, Jessica McCallum-Miller with 587 votes, Brenda Wesley with 499 votes, Craig Lyons with 338 votes and Don Dunster with 266 votes. All council tallies were unofficial as of Nov. 15. Voter turnout was pegged at 31.7 per cent based on the total number of mayoral votes and the voter’s list. Voter turnout was 25 per cent in 2011 and 35 per cent in 2008.

City name game to change THE CITY is looking to institute a revamped process by which names for new streets can be chosen. With several plans in the works for subdivisions and new roads at the Skeena Industrial Development Park, a report to council calls for guidelines as to how to choose street names. Director of development services David Block said that a current list of 95 names is going to be, if not discarded, then at least pared down and then expanded with names that better reflect certain groups including modern notable people and First Nations. “Absent from that list are any First Nations members of their community,” Block said of the current list, noting that some names don’t have any indication as to who the person was and why they should have a street named after them. Some of the names are of people who only lived in Terrace for a couple of years. The new naming policy will include, once

Names they suggest A NUMBER of suggestions came through on social media about notable Terrace people befitting of a street name. Two examples: Karen Smyth-Meier nominated Olympic medalist Caleb Brousseau, the most popular
suggestion according to “likes” received. Constable Michael Buday, a local RCMP officer killed in the line of duty north of here nearly 30 years ago, was also nominated by several of those who posted suggestions.

No longer driven by the current limiting guidelines that names must be of “pioneers

sue at the Nov. 10 council meetings. Other guidelines include length and other limitations, for instance limiting names to 18 letters and no commercialization.

CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL for a hotel development beside Kalum Tire is stockpiled while its developer lines up his paperwork.
Hotel delayed THE CONSTRUCTION of a fivestorey hotel on Hwy16 beside Kalum Tire is being delayed into the new year as developer Kim Tran of Smithers waits to get the warranty and insurance necessary for condos he is building on the top floor. The challenge is that new home construction in B.C. is covered by a mandatory warranty program which covers buyers for one year for materials and labour and up to 10 years for structure. While Tran says it is not difficult for homeowners to buy insurance, he has to work through the Homeowner Protection Office of the provincial government’s BC Housing agency for warranty provisions. “[It] looks like they are going for it,” said Tran of his application with the protection office. “[It’s] challenging to get them registered with homeowner protection.” He does have the option of agree-
ing to rent the condos for the first 10 years instead of selling them right away. Tran, who would add the development to his northwest B.C. chain of Sunshine Inn and Suites, had hoped construction would be well underway by now. He now wants to start building as soon as weather permits in the new year. He said he is looking to buy land in Vanderhoof to build another hotel and that after putting his Burns Lake and Houston hotels up for sale and receiving a good offer, he decided to pull them off the market. “I was crazy to sell it,” he said of the Houston hotel deal in particular. “To sell it to make a few dollars isn’t good business,” said Tran of his initial decision. The Homeowner Protection Office (HPO) is a branch of BC Housing, a provincial Crown agency located in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.

A Terrace couple is reaching out to the community to help them have a baby By ANNA KILLEN
here’s an oft-repeated adage that it takes a village to raise a child. But one Terrace couple is taking that saying a step further and asking the village to help them create a child. Deanna and Justin Goddard, who have been struggling with infertility for four years, are asking for donations to help them pay for in vitro-fertilization (IVF), which their doctors say is their only chance to create a child of their own. “I wouldn’t wish it on my greatest of enemies, the emotions and the ups and downs,” said Deanna, 25, while sitting on a couch at the couple’s Thornhill home. She and Justin had tried to conceive naturally for over a year before seeking help from their family doctor, who eventually referred them to a fertility clinic in Vancouver. Since then, there’s been multiple trips to the Lower Mainland for testing, surgery, and treatment, long periods of uncertainty over whether those treatments will work, thousands of dollars spent – and a whole lot of dashed hopes. “The whole process has been crazy,” said Deanna. “So much waiting, months between doctor talks, always feeling so disappointed.” The couple learned they would need IVF this past summer, following an unsuccessful surgery with an in-demand urologist to try to fix Justin’s low sperm count by unblocking whatever was preventing the sperm from coming out. “[The urologist] said ‘I’m going to be honest, I’ve never seen anything like it’,” said Deanna. “He thinks he was born that way. He gave us a term for it – congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens – the tube that connects the sperm to come out didn’t develop properly.” They gave the results to their fertility doctor, who told them IVF “is your only option.” As many as 15 per cent of Canadian couples experience infertility, according to Dr. Neal Mahutte, president of the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society and medical director at the Montreal Fertility Centre, and IVF is the last option in treatment. It involves taking a man’s sperm and using it to fertilize a woman’s eggs out of her body. Once fertilized, the eggs are placed inside the woman’s uterus where the hope is a pregnancy and live birth will result. In B.C., according to data provided by the Perinatal Services BC, 6,366 babies have been born over the last five years with IVF, or nearly three per cent of the 223,827 babies born in B.C. That doesn’t include the number of mothers who have attempted an IVF pregnancy, or have a mis-

The process costs upwards of $10,000, and even more once travel costs – unavoidable for couples living in rural areas, as all of the province’s fertility clinics are located in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island – are factored in. In Quebec, three rounds of IVF treatment are covered by the provincial medical plan, and in Ontario, more comprehensive fertility coverage is expected to be introduced in the legislature next year following the Ontario Liberal win in the last provincial election. In B.C., IVF is not covered. “We understand that there are many couples who have difficulty conceiving, but our focus is to insure effective procedures, while keeping health care costs sustainable,” reads a statement from the ministry of health. The statement notes that B.C.’s Medical Services Plan covers certain medical procedures to assist couples experiencing infertility, including some examinations and lab tests and the cost of artificial insemination. Couples can also apply for grants to help cover travel costs. But by not covering IVF, critics argue that the province is creating two classes of citizens – those that can pay for a full range of options in order to have a baby, and those whose baby dreams are capped because they can’t afford it. “That’s I think the strongest argument in favour of provincial funding,” said Mahutte. “Other-
wise it discriminates against people who have the funding and the means and the people who don’t.” It’s up to each province to decide on its own to pay for IVF treatments, he noted. “Europe is the world leader in terms of fertility coverage, in that most countries have coverage for IVF, whether it’s three cycles, four cycles, it varies but most European countries have coverage,” he said. While there is a movement swelling across Canada calling on politicians to push for better fertility coverage, for the most part, it’s up to the couples themselves. “For a lot of couples it’s intensely personal, and they are reluctant to share it even with their family and closest friends and yeah, they’re afraid that there’s a stigma,” Mahutte said. That had been the experience for the Goddards, who said it took them a long time to even tell their immediate families. “You’ve got to stay positive because you can get down very easily and it’s easy to stay down and be depressed, but you can’t,” said Justin. “But it’s hard. It’s embarrassing, it’s emasculating. It crossed my mind that maybe we shouldn’t even get married. It’s my problem... find someone else who works properly. That went through my mind a lot, that was a serious thought.” The couple had a number of serious discussions, but ultimately, Deanna knew she couldn’t imagine being with anyone else.
“He was born that way and I love him the way he was born,” she said. They also talked about adoption. “Adoption is a very hard process. We’ve talked about it but we want to try us first – we want to do everything we can to have a child first, and then... I love children, I’ll take your baby, but we’ve talked about it and we want it to be us.” The experience since has made them stronger as a couple, and the latest leg of their journey – raising the money for the procedure through online and in-person fundraisers – has shown the Goddards that they’re not alone. “There’s a stigma that’s attached to infertility and that’s something that we’re trying to change by creating awareness among people that this is a real problem,” said Misty Busch, the regional manager of western Canada for the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada. “I think it’s definitely something that’s more talked about or starting to come to the forefront, but it’s definitely something that’s still extremely painful, extremely shameful, and couples are feeling isolated.” For Deanna, those feelings came to a head last month during a break from work at a local daycare. Calculating how long it would take to raise the money for IVF – and in a moment of exasperation – she posted a note to her Facebook page asking people to help her collect bottles and cans so she could try to raise the money more quickly. “I could raise the money on
my own, but it would take me five years,” Deanna said. The sooner the couple can have the treatment, the better the couple’s chances of success – rates drop dramatically as women get older. But Deanna wasn’t expecting the post to go very far – she wrote it for her family and friends – but it quickly took on a life of its own, with aquaintences and strangers sharing it widely and pledging help. “I just typed this big thing out,” she said. “I did not expect it to be shared as much as it did, to be honest with you.” As of late last week, they were closing in on $4,000 raised, much of that through an online donation site, a relatively new way people are fundraising for IVF in Canada. “I’ve seen it a lot in the United States, and I’m starting to see it more in Canada,” said Busch, on the online crowdfunding method. “I think it’s a unique way and certainly we’re for that. Whatever resources patients are able to help themselves pay for treatment is great, but ideally that’s where we would like to see the province come in and create the comprehensive program to cover. “ Beyond the financial support the community has shown, the emotional support – both to and from the couple – has been striking. After Deanna posted her note, “all of the sudden I was getting emails from people saying ‘I’ve been through it’, or ‘my sister’s been through it’, or ‘my daughter’s been through it’. I didn’t know. So many people in this town. Blows my mind.” “You think people are going to say ‘it’s not my problem, I don’t really care’ but then you see how much everybody actually does care,” said Justin. Infertility “is not a bad thing to talk about,” said Deanna. “You don’t have to isolate yourself.” She knows some might be wondering what makes them more special than other couples trying to have a baby. “Nothing does,” she said. “We just took the initiative. One of the things I always think is, if you have a question, ask. And I had a question: Can you help me? So I asked.” For Justin, opening their story up to the community has also brought in new worries. “It also makes me nervous, because if the community helps and if it doesn’t work... that is the greatest fear now,” he said. “Opening up to everyone else, everyone else is now invested.” But those fears are tempered by what he believes are the couple’s strong chances. While he has a blockage, his sperm is fine, and doctors collected some during an earlier procedure. “I have good sperm inside of me that they’ve taken out,” he said. “And she seems to be fine and dandy, so I feel like our success rate should be pretty darn high.”

EDITORIAL
Names SO who was the Kenney in Kenney St.? Thanks to the self-published compilation years ago called “How Our Streets Were Named” by Yvonne Moen and Helen Haselmeyer, we know. ET Kenney, who also has a Southside school named after him, was one of several brothers to move here in the early part of the last century. He moved up quickly in life, becoming the provincial government’s lands and forests minister. His name as a result is also on the Kenney Dam, part of Rio Tinto Alcan’s northwest hydro power facilities. And now city council, while not at all dismissing the contributions of past people, wants to expand its street-naming list to include, for example, prominent current individuals and First Nations. And that’s a good idea because of the worthwhile aspect of broadening how the diverse population and peoples of the area are represented through a local government’s actions. Former mayor Jack Talstra, who now has a street named after him, for one is looking forward to streets containing First Nations names. And Barb Kennedy-Niemi, in an online comment, thinks the city should have a street simply called “Community Way,” with space underneath the sign to honour one individual a year and to be announced each Riverboat Days. Now this is something a new city council can accomplish quickly. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Parliament needs a police force too
B
Far from more answers, experience leaves me asking more questions. For instance, how is it no police force is authorized to investigate wrongdoing on Parliament Hill? As I understand it, if a murder were to occur in Chambers, let’s say a question period got out of hand and tempers flared beyond the norm, sleuthing would fall to the speaker of the house and the board of internal economy, a hush-hush behind-closed-doors committee made up of nine persons from all parties (except the Green) plus the speaker. How qualified are MPs to be Sherlock Holmes? And since when is it advisable culprits investigate themselves? Though the CBC appears to be doing that over the Ghomeshi affair, self-investigation is not acceptable nor an effective means of getting to the bottom of any wrongdoing. If police are barred from the Hill, what have the MPs been doing for years arguing to the rafters in question period while never getting down to brass tacks and putting in place a proper procedure for

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI dealing with such complaints as sexual harassment between MPs or between MPs and young interns or journalists? And why are cocktail parties and other alcoholic drinking happening in Parliament at all? At any hour? We elect MPs to Ottawa to steer the business of Canada, not to fraternize with members of the opposite sex (or in this day and age, perhaps members of the same sex) and paw younger staff or journalists whose careers can be stymied by rebuffing unwelcome attention. Excuses for drinking include MPs are far from home
and family, life can be lonely, their work days are long, and alcohol is an accepted accompaniment to late night meetings. MPs expect voters to buy that? When the day’s work is done, go home. Sixty years ago MPs went to Ottawa for months at a time. That is no longer the case. Today they commute back and forth by plane with regularity. A related topic prompting questions is the suspension of two Liberal MPs from their caucus following complaints by two female NDP MPs a year after the alleged unacceptable behaviour. Mulcair fumed the two women had wanted their complaints to be kept secret. Why? One of the main purposes of court sentences is to deter others from contemplating a similar crime. If the complaints are kept secret, any investigation or consequences kept out of the public eye, all deterrence is lost. I can appreciate the women would prefer their experiences remain out of newscasts. But if they were old enough to run for election they had to know once they sought remedy by reporting their experiences to NDP
S TANDARD
Party Whip Turmel or Liberal leader Trudeau, secrecy would end. Back home, what are the families of the two Liberal MPs making of their caucus suspension? How jovial is life at the kitchen table since Trudeau summarily kicked them out without even identifying what crime they allegedly committed? Once doubt creeps into a marriage, restoring trust can be difficult, if not impossible. You don’t need Dr. Phil’s word for that. Leading on from those topics, where is Jian Ghomeshi hiding? Two weeks since CBC fired him and no one knows where he is or what he’s up to. For a man who sought the limelight non-stop, remaining incommunicado must be unsettling for him. How is he managing to stay underground? His face is more widely distributed than Rob Ford’s at the height of his crack cocaine capers. He has not been a guest on any talk show. Is he hunkered in Mom’s home recuperating from plastic surgery? How is Mom coping with her son’s adverse publicity? Is Big Ears Teddy facing the wall in shame?

The Mail Bag Garbage bylaw unclear
ily describes himself), have rushed to resume treaty negotiations without first consulting with the Gitxsan people, and giving them the opportunity to consider returning to court for our title case. Mr. Sebastian’s letter is the first time most of us have learned of the Gitxsan Treaty Society’s board’s decision to negotiate, and that it is negotiating “in full swing.”
Dear Sir: Re: Report by Margaret Speirs concerning Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine / Bylaw No. 640 (Mandatory Residential Garbage Collection) I would like to make a correction to Margaret Speirs’ report: I did not thank the board but the only two directors, Nyce and Penner, who had the courtesy to acknowledge my wife’s e-mail. The wording in some of the regulations in this bylaw is very ambiguous or wrong. For example: part 3.11 “No person shall set out more than 4 garbage containers .... per week.” Therefore, in a household of six, eight or ten persons this would mean 24, 32 or 40 bags per week. The answer I was given when questioning this wording was that it is meant to mean “per household”... but it doesn’t! Furthermore, I would also like to add that I pointed out several articles in the bylaw with serious consequences. In part 2-3 it states that all recyclable materials must be handed over to Regional Collection System. So, according to this wording, returning empties to the liquor store or to the Return-it centre will be illegal! A penalty of up to $1,000 for the first offence and up to $2,000 for the second violation can be levied. In part 3-8 (e + g) the times are given for putting the garbage out (by 8 a.m. at the latest) and empty containers to be returned to the residence (no later than 10 p.m. on the collection day). For someone working night shifts it would be impossible to meet these time lines. Again, violating these times can bring the above mentioned penalties. Part 3.8 (k) mandates that the containers must be kept at all times on the premises. The same fines apply for the violation of this part. I was told that it was not the intention of this bylaw to create income by levying penalties.

Gitxsan should return to court Dear Sir: The Gitxsan Simgiiget, who are the hereditary chiefs of the Gitxsan people, received a disturbing letter dated Oct. 22, 2014 from Gitxsan Treaty Society executive director Gordon Sebastian “confirming that [treaty] negotiations are in full swing.” This must be taken as an insult to the memory of Delgamuukw (Albert Tait), Gwis Gyen (Stanley Williams),
Antgulilbix (Mary Johnson), Gwa’ans (Olive Ryan) and all the other elders who gave evidence in the Delgamuukw trial of a quarter century ago which set out the precedent for aboriginal title. Their evidence should not be squandered, for that is the only foundation upon which the Gitxsan people can enter “ . . . into a lasting relationship with our hereditary system” and by which the Crown
will have to “accommodate, by agreement, legislation and policies.” Few tribal groups in B.C. have as strong a case for aboriginal title and rights as the Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en. The federal and provincial governments are surely smiling behind closed doors, knowing that the Gitxsan Treaty Society Board of Directors and Mr. Sebastian, the Board’s “Most Faithful Servant” (as he cheek-

y companions and I hurry down Commerce Street, the wind surprisingly cold for a Canadian expecting warmer weather in Dallas, even in November. My two women companions are American, but I’m guiding them. I’ve been here before and I know where I’m going. We reach Houston Street, turn right, cross Main Street and then, like President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade had done 50 years before, turn left at Elm. We skirt the Texas School Book Depository on our right and join a larger group near the railroad tracks behind it. Our group works its way through Dealey Plaza, author and tour guide Larry Hancock – bundled in jacket, gloves, and balaclava, the front of it pulled below his chin so he could speak – providing running commentary as to the physical features before us and their relevance as to what happened here five decades before.
The experience now nearly overwhelms. The railroad yard, the Grassy Knoll and picket fence, the Triple Overpass, the concrete pedestal where Abraham Zapruder stood and filmed the horrifying spectacle of President Kennedy’s killing, the concrete manhole cover which was hit by a stray bullet that day, the newly paved over section of Elm Street where the fatal shot occurred. My mind churns – listening, striving for understanding, storing, observing, emoting. The icy wind is relentless. There is little time for reflection. That will come later. We board a bus and continue the tour to the rooming house where Lee Harvey Oswald lived part-time in November 1963. Patricia Hall, the granddaughter of the woman who owned it then, shows us through, including the almost cupboard sized sleeping room of Oswald’s – his bed and shelving unit still there 50 years along. She says when she was 11, she witnessed Oswald deal with her
GUEST COMMENT
KEN ANDERSON two squabbling brothers. “He sat them down on the porch and sat between them and said, ‘I want to tell you something and I want you to listen to me. You are brothers and you have to look out for each other, you have to love each other and never do anything that would harm another human being.” One of our tour guides, a retired police officer, says, “Does that sound like someone who
would shoot the President?” A couple of days earlier at the Adolphus Hotel, I saw James Tague, a tall, heavy set Texan, signing books. I didn’t wait to talk to him. I now wish I had. He died a few months ago. Tague was the third person injured by the gunfire which erupted in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. It was the fact of Tague’s wounding which forced the Warren Commission to come up with the so called “magic bullet” theory to attempt to explain how Oswald allegedly fired three shots – one of which missed its intended target and wounded Tague – and yet caused three wounds to Kennedy (shoulder blade, throat, head) and four wounds to Texas Governor John Connally (back, chest, wrist and thigh). Connally was a passenger in Kennedy’s vehicle. Sherry Fiester, a retired forensics expert, says the Warren Commission is wrong and that the fatal shot came from the front, not the back.
Her book, “Enemy of the Truth – Myths, Forensics, and the Kennedy Assassination” looks at the wounds Kennedy and Connally sustained. It’s a book of ballistics and bullet trajectories, blood spatter, and the knowledge of what happens when a projectile pierces a skull. Perhaps surprisingly, she rules out the shot coming from the Grassy Knoll. She autographed my copy of her book, “To Ken. Hope this helps with your search for the truth. Sherry.” Before I start my long trip home, I walk near my sister’s home in the rugged hills on the outskirts of Dallas. The sun flames as it dips below the horizon, a huge orange and red ball. It closes, in my thinking, in true Texas style, at least this chapter in my search for that truth. Ken Anderson practises law in Terrace, B.C. He’s been in Dallas several times, including 2013, the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination.

Gitxsan should go to court SNOW The Gitxsan people need to know that the federal government is now pouring an incredible amount of negotiation money at tribal groups in B.C. to get what they call incremental arrangements. But nothing has changed, and more importantly, there is no government mandate to negotiate on our terms, as treaty commission money is for process, and incremental deals. No amount of negotiation money will (as Mr. Sebastian believes), “protect the wilp [Houses] and lax yip [territories].” The treaty society board does not have a mandate to return to full-scale treaty negotiations without clear direction of the Gitxsan people. Given the recent Tsilhqot’in decision at the Supreme Court of Canada, the treaty society board has an obligation to convene meetings open to all Gitxsan people where we have the opportunity to weigh the pros and cons of a title action and treaty terms. We will never be able to achieve reconciliation of our title without transparency and full community involvement.
We gave treaty negotiations a chance 20 years ago. Nothing came of it. If we are to embark on negotiations again, the Gitxsan people must be able to carefully and diligently consider their options. There are many who favour returning to court, as I do, where we have a strong case. In effect, the legal landscape changed as a result of Tsilhqot’in and the granting of a declaration of their title. And so, the Gitxsan should now look at the litigation option with greater optimism and, instead of negotiation, should reconsider going back to court. Neil J. Sterritt 150 Mile House, B.C. (Editor’s note: Neil Sterritt is a Gitxsan person, and was the leader of the Gitxsan-Wet’suwet’en Tribal Council during the 1980’s when the Delgamuukw case was launched. He was also an expert and lay witness during the trial, and was on the stand for 33 days.)

Bylaw wording is ‘troubling’ The chair, Bruce Bidgood, however, acknowledged that some of the wording will have to be reconsidered and amendments will have to be made. The most troubling aspect of bylaw 640 is in part 6 – Administration – Right of Entry / 27. A Peace Officer, including a bylaw enforcement officer, or the Manager, Works and Services, and his or her delegate shall have the right to enter at all reasonable times upon any property subject
to the provisions of this bylaw, for the purposes of ascertaining whether any requirements of this bylaw or the regulations in this bylaw are being observed. This means the Regional District employees or their delegates – who could be anybody – have more power than the RCMP. The RCMP can only search a property with a search warrant from a judge, who will only grant it if there is reasonable ground. I was told that legal advice
had been obtained in drafting bylaw 640 – I find this hard to believe! It troubles me that this bylaw was passed after three readings by 12 directors despite all of the questionable wording and that only one director opposed it. A petition signed by 706 residents requested a referendum regarding the mandatory nature of bylaw 640 – we were ignored! Urs Gasser Terrace, B.C.

Veterans honoured by French gov’t AN OVERFLOW audience packed the main theatre of the Tillicum Twin Theatre here Nov. 11 as the annual Remembrance Day service took place, an occasion more solemn following the deliberate deaths two weeks previously of two servicemen in Quebec and on Parliament Hill. Following the moment of silence at 11 a.m., there was also a direct connection to the Second World War when three local veterans of that conflict were recognized for their role in the landings at Normandy in France on June 6, 1944 and for the period after that which marked the beginning of the end of the war in Europe. Sandy Sandhals, Bill McRae and Bob Goodvin were escorted to the front of the theatre by three RCMP officers in red serge where they were presented with medals struck by the French government. “By Order of the President of the Republic of France, you have been awarded the rank of Knight Of The French National Order Of The Legion Of Honour,” said Royal Canadian Legion Branch 13 president Ray Hallock as legion member Peter Crompton, who spent months arranging for the medals to be awarded, presented them to
the three men. “This distinction illustrates the profound gratitude that France would like to express to you. It is awarded in recognition of your professional involvement in the liberation of our country. Through you France remembers the sacrifice of all of your compatriots who came to liberate French soil, often losing their lives in the process,” said Hallock. A fourth recipient, Rowly Purmal, had moved away just last month but was also recognized by Hallock. Hallock, in his address, mentioned the many wars and conflicts in which Canadians had taken part, listing the numbers who had been killed and injured. “If you think of Terrace as having a population of approximately 20,000, you have an idea how great that death toll actually was,” said Hallock in noting the nearly 47,000 Canadians killed during the Second World War. “In our own recent past, we as Canadians have felt the sting and have wept as innocent servicemen have been brutally killed on our own soil. We must become ever vigilant as Canada becomes a target of terrorist inspired acts of violence. And as the war on terror continues into the future, we

Childcare receives huge grant A LOCAL childcare is looking forward to opening more much-needed childcare spots with grant money it will soon be receiving for a couple of projects. Willow Creek Childcare, open for 10 years now at manager and co-owner Jennifer Maillet’s residence and in its new location since May 1 of this year at the former church on the corner of Park Ave. and Sparks St., will be getting about $450,000 in money from the provincial government to help provide more childcare spaces. The B.C. government announced back in May it was giving out money for more childcare spaces as part of BC’s Early Years Strategy. Non-profit childcare providers could apply for up to $250,000 to be used for building new facilities, renovating existing buildings and buying eligible equip-
ment and the childcare provider had to kick in 25 per cent of the money itself. Maillet said she applied for two grants of $250,000 – one grant to go to opening up more spaces at the childcare for children up to age six and renovations and the other grant for an after school program. Willow Creek has been awarded $250,000 and $178,000 for both projects, respectively. “I was shocked. She called me and I just started crying,” said Maillet about her response to the Ministry of Children and Family Development calling her to say Willow Creek had been chosen to receive the grant money. “Childcare is a passion and I basically operate like a non-profit. The childcare increases its number of children to 36 and the after school program is for 48 children that Maillet takes
care of at her own residence, that’s wheelchair accessible and a bus to pick up children so their parents don’t have to drop them off. Renovations are also in order for the building: doors, windows, insulation, bathrooms and upgrading of equipment. Money that Willow Creek had to come up with itself comes in the form of inkind with Maillet, her husband and family doing some of the work themselves and coming from the childcare’s monthly operating allowance. Willow Creek has a waiting list and people will see the bus and its driver and ask if their children can come to the childcare, said Maillet. “I’m hoping to create a childcare facility eventually owned by a society or group and create long-term spots like the college has,” she said referring to Northwest Community College.
and Scouts and others wound their way to the cenotaph for the laying of wreaths. Outside the theatre, as people filed in to take part in the service, the aftermath of the deaths of the two servicemen in Quebec and on Par-
liament Hill and of the heightened sense of apprehension which followed, was evident by the presence across Lakelse Ave. from the theatre of an RCMP officer standing on watch and armed with an automatic weapon.

Who is this mystery woman? She appears in doctor’s photos from here in summer 1942
A SARNIA, ONTARIO woman has a Second World War mystery based in Terrace she wants to solve. Bev Walkling’s father, Ronald Place, a doctor, was briefly based in Terrace with a medical unit in 1942. After his death, Walkling found several photos, one of which was a young woman with wavy brunette hair wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with Walkling’s father’s name on it stitched in writing on the left side of the garment. A second photo is of Place in uniform with the young woman’s hands with fingers interlaced resting on his left shoulder. “I would love to know who she is (or was) if anyone can help,” writes Walkling in an email to The Terrace Standard. The photos were unexpected, said Walkling, describing her father as an introverted person who did not marry until two weeks before his 40th birthday.
“His siblings all said that they had never known him to have any girlfriends prior to Mom so these pictures were a real surprise to us when we found them,” Walkling continues. Dr. Place did write letters home and one of them gave an insight as to his activities during his June 1942 to September 1942 time in Terrace with the 6th Canadian Field Ambulance. In an Aug. 12, 1942 letter, Place writes of social activities: “The Colonel arrived back Friday evening a day before we were expecting him. We were all getting ready for a dance at the time he arrived and I think he was pretty curious to know what we were all getting cleaned up for. “He watched us for about five minutes, then broke down and enquired what was on. We all had a very good time Friday evening and we are planning to have something like a corn roast or something similar fairly soon. “The girls are pretty
scarce hereabouts, but we’ve done fairly well that way. The local Red Cross Society has been very co-operative and has provided a fair number while we’ve had a good turn-out from the Carter Hall girls. “Carter-HallAldinger are the contractors who are building the camp here; they’ve got fifty or sixty girls who have signed up as waitresses. The Carter Hall girls are mostly from Winnipeg and vicinity.” Walkling says that’s the only comment in any of his father’s letters about women at all. Terrace had a very small population at the time of the Second World War but that changed when the Canadian air force built the airport and the Canadian army based upwards of 3,000 men here, part of a strategy to defend the north coast should the Japanese try to invade. Place went on to serve in Europe, returning to practise medicine in the Montreal area at the end of the war.

Miners borrow while waiting for financing AVANTI MINING is borrowing $50 million to continue its preparatory work on a planned molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast while waiting for (US) $612 million in financing to be approved. The money is in addition to $40 million already borrowed for work at the site for what Avanti anticipates to be a mine costing nearly $1 billion. The mine has a planned operating life of 15 years to produce molybdenum which is used to harden steel. The company had been expecting a grouping of six international banks to approve the financing of the (US) $612 million by last month but now expects the final decision to be made this month. Representatives of the banks toured the property in September and, according to Avanti, raised no material issues. “We arranged the [$50 million] bridge loan so that we can continue with detailed engineering and pre-construction work while we finalize the complete debt and equity package for the project,” said company official Graham du Prez. The company is also working on arranging other financing toward its overall goal of raising equity and taking on debt. The list includes taking on a partner, selling stock and selling the silver that is also present in its ore body. The company has
already lined up sales agreements with key customers. Since receiving final environmental approvals this year and after signing a benefits deal with the Nisga’a Lisims Government, Avanti began building a road to its site made up of a partnership of a Terrace company and one from the Nass Valley and by making preparations to expand its exploration camp into one to accommodate 150 people. “Construction on the access road to Kitsault’s proposed plant site is now complete, and the area surrounding the proposed plant site is now accessible for the transportation of equipment,” said the company in a release this month. Its intention is to be ready to begin full-on construction for a twoyear period as soon as
weather permits next spring. A separate project, begun in October, has a contractor hired by Avanti practically rebuilding a provincial government bridge that crosses the Nass River so that heavy equipment can be safely trucked into Kitsault. A company called AMEC Americas is doing the engineering work on the project and is adding 10 engineers to an existing force of 60 engineers. Avanti itself has hired 11 managers since the summer as well as its pre-construction program takes shape leading to full on work. “Avanti continues to actively recruit to build out its owner’s team and will be opening a project office in Terrace, British Columbia, which will act as the center of
Formerly McBike (Terrace)
operations for recruiting efforts at the project,” a company release this month stated.
And while the company continues work on the ground, it is also considering a name change.
Company shareholders are to decide at a meeting later this month if the company name
should be changed to Alloycorp Mining Inc. to better reflect its goal of making steel alloy metals.

The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload.

The most amazing, but unspectacular part of the trip was driving the Hellcat back to Washington, D.C. through heavy traffic on the highway and downtown core. As we pulled up the W Hotel, just a block from the Whitehouse, the 707 hp Hellcat returned 9.9L/100km. Nothing short of amazing considering the cars output, but it might come down to the 411 lb.-ft. the engine puts out at just 1,200 rpm, allowing it to loaf along effortlessly. This and the $64,495 price tag will get a lot of car fans sitting up and paying attention; the world’s fastest four-door family car is an amazing engineering marvel and the price is as jaw-dropping as the car itself.

The Acura CSX was made in Canada and only sold in Canada. Essentially it’s a sportier and more luxurious Honda Civic as it shares most major parts, other than engines. So, an owner not only gets the renowned reliability, fuel efficiency and functionality of a Civic, but also a higher level of performance and luxury ... very nice! First released for the 2006 model year, CSX came with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that can also be found in an Acura RSX, with slightly different tuning. A suspension upgrade also gives CSX better handling than a Civic and it originally came in Touring and Premium (with leather upholstery,

Other than leather upholstery, which became standard on every CSX, there were no significant changes for 2008 model year. In 2009, the CSX got a minor facelift up front and 17-inch wheels, fog lights and USB port for audio players all became standard equipment. The CSX Type-S became the CSX i-Tech (and came with xenon headlights, a navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity) for the 2011 model year, its final year of production. A used CSX doesn’t cost too much more than a top-line Civic. Not only do you get more content and performance, Acura models also come with a longer warranty than Honda.

Thornhill raised again TERRACE’S RELATIONSHIP with Thornhill, which arose as an issue leading up to last weekend’s municipal election, came up again Nov. 10 at the last city council meeting before the vote. Council heard from Regional District of Kitimat Stikine (RDKS) director for Thornhill Ted Ramsey and from the co-founder of the large and longstanding Terrace construction company Progressive Ventures, Lael McKeown. Ramsey has already had a motion passed by the regional district board favouring Thornhill incorporation, which could ultimately lead to a referendum on the matter by Thornhill residents. That motion is now before the provincial government to provide an analysis of what incorporation
would look like. Ramsey said that incorporation would finally grant Thornhill the identity it deserves as a community which has long been distinct from Terrace. “The invisible folks, that’s us,” said Ramsey, maintaining that a Thornhill empowered through incorporation would work closely with Terrace to achieve regional goals. McKeown told council the city should request that the provincial government also do a study of the opposite scenario to see if the region’s interests would be best served by amalgamation. For McKeown, the Keith Estates plan for changing large parts of South Terrace along Keith Ave. west of the Sande Overpass from heavy industrial usage to a mix of commer-
cial and residential and light industrial means that Terrace businesses would benefit if Thornhill joined Terrace. Businesses could move into the plentiful spaces offered on the Thornhill side and still pay taxes to Terrace. Councillors Lynne Christiansen, Bruce Bidgood, Stacey Tyers and James Cordeiro all spoke as to why they see amalgamation as being either economically dangerous to Terrace or unfair to Thornhill. Councilor Brian Downie called the merits of amalgamation or incorporation “speculation” at this point before the numbers were crunched. Bidgood said that too much of the talk is about how much amalgamation would benefit Terrace and not what the benefits are for Thornhill.
Christiansen reminded council that Thornhill has already voted against amalgamation and Tyers has said before that Terrace has a big enough infrastructure defect without taking on another community’s load. Cordeiro wondered about the onerous and expensive process of vastly expanding the city’s bureaucracy to accommodate Thornhill as well as redrafting the community plan. Ultimately the decision about whether to proceed to request from the provincial government for a study of the amalgamation option will be up to the newly elected council, said outgoing mayor Dave Pernarowski who has come out in favour of the idea of amalgamation. The new council will be sworn in next month.

Motoring Maui: The Bliss and the Bad By Alexandra Straub
Lahaina, Maui - Locals call it the “Maui Merge.” It’s enough to take a blissfully mellow tourist and perhaps get them as heated as their freshly acquired crimson sunburn. It’s a merge that doesn’t take place within the lines of an ending lane, as one would imagine. Somehow th at merge extends onto the shoulder and beyond. Watch out for the cyclist and the stray dog! It’s almost like a game, I’m told, to see how far ahead of all the other cars you can get. As I observe this type of manouevre in action from a Ford Escape rental vehicle, I can’t help but chuckle to myself. I guess some things stay the same no matter what kind of paradise you’re driving in. But it’s not all bad, right? If you’re not stuck in traffic on Maui’s west island’s main highway – which doesn’t always move at a highway-like speed – you’re in luck. You’ll have a warm, tropical breeze flowing through the cabin, unless you’re in need of an air conditioning overdose to counteract the humidity. Hawaii Route 30, also known as the Honoapi’ilani Highway, is a 56-kilometre stretch of road that you end up on when traveling to Lahaina or close to it. A “family” reunion just happened to be taking place on one of Hawaii’s eight islands, which gave me a perfect excuse to beat the fall blah’s and grey skies that this time of year blesses us with. I use family in bunny ears since my BFF since childhood, Nikki, and I have been sister-like since grade three. Her family is my family. And vice versa. And as families do, they try to figure out logistics and transportation; who will be going in whose car when it came to outings. A total of nine of us were vacationing together. Luckily, my other sister, Minti lives on the island and had her Honda Odyssey to shuttle some adults, and her three daughters. Good thing. The Escape is roomy, though not that roomy. But when a chronic noise came from the brakes, the minivan was out of commission. Luckily for only a few hours, chaos could have ensued. Being the car person, I accompanied her to a local shop. Not only did her car get fixed very quickly, it
gave insight into the local racing scene. Yes, there’s one on Maui and it’s probably not what you would have expected. Owner of Kaanapali Car Care, Bill Throckmorton, had his 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 on the hoist. With a small block Chevy inside that produces upwards of 400 horsepower, this vehicle meant business. Dirty business. From March to October, those looking for some wholesome family fun (and maybe some tailgating, whatever you interpret that to be!) are invited to the dirt track to watch him, along with fellow sprint car racers and demolition derby participants. It takes place at the appropriately named “Paradise Speedway Maui.” Here’s the website in case you’re as curious as I am (http:// www.paradisespeedwaymaui.com) Regardless, I thanked him for his invite to the end-of-season event but our schedule was packed to the brim. Lahaina was a quick commute (sometimes) from the Honua Kai resort where all of us gathered. It was a breath of fresh air. Not only because we got off the resort, but it borders along a picturesque coastline. It’s the kind of coastline that postcards are made of: full of palm trees shimmying to the music of the wind. There you encounter scooters buzzing by, happy couples hand-in-hand and many modes of transportation intermingling. Front Street in Lahaina has a little bit of magic to it, too. In 2011, it was named by the American Planning Association as one of the “Great Streets.” Not every street can be great. They have guidelines. The visit was all too short and then traffic met us on the other end. What happens when you want to escape the drawbacks of paradise driving and you’re stuck in in the back seat of a car? Perhaps this is the answer. Envision yourself on a beach, holding a (virgin) piña colada. You’re lying on your towel with your eyes closed, let the crashing waves penetrate your ears. Then picture yourself driving your fastest lap at the Nürburgring. Now that’s paradise. Until the driver behind you honks and you get to crawl forward a metre or so. “You’ll be at the beach soon,” you repeat to yourself. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Street honours former mayor bcclassified.com THE MAIN road leading to the Skeena Industrial Development Park was named Jack Talstra Way in a small ceremony Nov. 14 at the location on Hwy37 South south of the Northwest Regional Airport. Talstra was the mayor of Terrace from 1985 to 2008 and instrumental in promoting the concept of an industrial park which now stands at more than 2,000 acres and is a partnership between the city and the Kitselas First Nation. Illness prevented Talstra from attending but he was represented by many family members. Members of the current city council and city staffers were present as were members of the Kitselas First Nation and its economic development arm. Speaking on behalf of the city, mayor Dave Pernarowski noted the street naming was long overdue given Talstra’s time in office.
“When I think back to those number of years, it’s hard to even comprehend the amount of time and effort and dedication Jack showed to the City of Terrace,” said Pernarowski. He credited Talstra with the vision for the industrial park and the work he and past councils and city staffers then put in on the project. Pernarowski, who defeated Talstra in 2008 and who is stepping down after six years as mayor himself, noted that one of his first mayoral jobs was to unveil a welcome to Terrace sign and that it was fitting that one of his last official acts was to unveil a sign in honour of his predecessor. Daniel Talstra, a son of Talstra’s, spoke on his father’s behalf, thanking those who attended. He said his father was honoured to have a street named after him. Talstra, continued
his son, wanted special mention made of the Kitselas First Nation and of Glenn Bennett, who was Kitselas chief councillor during the earlier years of the park’s development, for their contribution with “hopes of streets being named after them as well.” The former mayor also had words for what would come next. While the original vision was for the development of the Kitimat-Terrace corridor it is up to the next generation of leaders to consider the environment in the region’s development, Talstra said of his father’s comments. “He recognized there are two parts of this greater project: first the challenge of creating a vision and getting the wheels rolling, and second, managing these developments in a way that safeguards the environmental value of such a pristine region. He wanted to show rec-
ognition to the fact that, in his view, of these challenges, the second one is the greater. And he wants to give recognition in advance to the next generation of leaders for the hard work they will have to do in living up to this challenge,” said Talstra of his father’s thoughts. Afterward, a fire hy-
drant in front of city hall that had been painted in the likeness of Talstra was unveiled for family members and members of council. It was painted by current city councillor Lynne Christiansen who credited local community historian Yvonne Moen with the idea.

James Rocky Gray
January 22, 1953 - November 4, 2014 There is mine for silver and a place where gold is refined. Man puts an end to the darkness he searches the farthest recesses for ore in the blackest darkness. Job 28:1,3
Rocky searched for understanding through some very black circum-stances. He discovered God’s goodness. He experienced that the Earth, from which food comes, is transformed by the fire of our situations. Sapphires arose from its rocks and its dust contained nuggets of gold. As Rocky’s life was refined, he displayed his love of mercy. Rocky’s food was God’s manna – service. The goodness of serving others sustained Rocky. He gave out from what he had been blessed to give. Job 28:28 The fear of the Lord – that is wisdom. We encourage you to mine your life for treasures. In our sorrow we will continue to proclaim God’s goodness and remain prisoners of God’s hope.

Player of the month: Desjardins leads league A TERRACE transplant has been named BC Hockey’s Female Midget AAA Player of the Month for October. Sage Desjardins, who grew up playing Terrace Minor Hockey (TMHA), has been playing for the Northern Cougars in Prince George since last year. This season, she leads the league in goals with 12, and has 13 assists for a total of 25 points – tied for first place in the league with Cougars teammate Ava Keis. As of late last week, the Cougars had played 15 games, and had a leaguebest record of 16-2-0. When she’s not competing as a Cougar, Desjardins helps out in the community by helping out as a group leader and on-ice instructor at the SLG Hockey School. She also volunteered her time to act as a team mentor for young players during the 2014 Northern Female Jamboree. Cougars head coach Mario Desjardins, who played an integral role building up TMHA over the years, said, “Sage’s commitment to on and off-ice training over the summer helped her get to a quick start…she is leading the league in points, and through the first month of the season she already eclipsed last season’s point total.”

River Kings show up Steelheads again THE TERRACE River Kings’ win streak continues, with the CIHL team fending off a late Smithers’ rally in the third to get the 5-4 win here at home Nov. 8. It took nearly a full period to open up the scoring, with Terrace’s Josh Murray finally finding the back of the net at 18:25 (assists to Ben Reinbolt, Steve Cullis). But scoring in the second was fast and furious, with Chapen Leblond (Derick Jurista, Luke Gordon) and Murray (Reinbolt, Calen Findlay) making it 3-0 by 4:40 in. Goals by Smithers’
Randall Groot and Terrace’s Jordan Peddle (Corey Dekelver) and Skylar Andrews (Rajan Sangha) made it 5-1 at the end of the period. A fight at the beginning of the third saw Leblond and DeGroot leave the game. And Smithers rallied late in the third to put the pressure on Terrace, scoring two goals within 30 seconds of the 15 minute mark, and another on the power play with 23 seconds left in play. But they couldn’t tie it up and the River Kings left with the win. The River Kings are now
at four wins in a row with a 5-1 record – the only team they’ve lost to being the Smithers Steelheads, who are second behind the River Kings in the standings, with – as of press deadline – four points to the Kings’ 10. Fans are hoping Terrace can keep up the good work on the road – the team now heads on a road trip, hitting up Williams Lake and Lac La Hache this weekend before facing off in Kitimat Nov. 28. The next home game for the River Kings is Friday, Dec. 12.

Curling: a true gentleman’s sport By ANNA KILLEN CURLING IS sometimes referred to as “chess on ice” – a game more about strategy than physical dominance. Once curlers have the general skills down (having a feel for the rotation and weight of the rock as it’s sent down the ice, sweeping technique, following the skip’s instructions – or learning to skip themselves) the game becomes a tight back-and-forth that’s focussed on figuring out where to precisely place the rock inside the house (the bull’s-eyes at either end of the ice) to either earn a point, protect a point, or stop your opponents from earning a point. It’s very strategic – and, one can imagine, mentally rewarding. The game becomes less strategic without the skills to back it up, as I discovered when I curled for the first time since middle school at the community bonspiel earlier this month (example: one of the more sympathetic teams we played against ended up telling us that every point we earned could count as two, hardly an equal meeting of the chesson-ice minds). But, that didn’t make it any less fun. And fun was literally the name of the game Nov. 8 at the Terrace Curling Club for the allday annual community funspiel, a tournament that is less about standings than it is about introducing people to curling. Twenty teams participated, an increase from last year, said curling club manager Donna Diana. And the day included curlers of all ages – there was at least one
I
child under 10 on the ice – and skill levels. “I think it went absolutely awesome, it was a really good turnout,” she said. Several companies entered more than one team, and there were a number of new teams this year. “We had the Lakelse Dragon Boat ladies out, that was kind of neat,” she said. “All North was new.” At least two of the teams are now looking to join the league, which is part of the goal of the funspiel, and Diana is hoping more people will turn out for Tuesday morning drop-in and the Monday night novice league. It’s the second year for the novice league, “a really good introduction, more or less oneon-one instruction,” she said. “They’re getting the skills they need and a lot of them will actually put a team in in January.” That’s when the next big bonspiel happens, the Legion’s 60th. After that it’s the Ladies’ Valentines bonspiel in February and the Mens’ Loggers bonspiel in April. “Curling is so nice because its one of the few sports where it doesn’t make a difference how old you are and it doesn’t make a difference how fit you are,” said Diana. “You can still curl.” She said the oldest curler at the club is pushing 90, and the school program begins at Grade 4. “We’ve got curlers that are all over the place,” she said. “You don’t have to be the best in shape person in the whole wide world to enjoy curling. That’s what I like about it.” She also likes that the sport teaches etiquette.
drove north on River Drive, past Satch’s Moonlighter Autobody. It was mid-September. The slanting rays of the morning sun lit the backs of the leaves clinging tenuously to the cottonwoods. They glowed like small Japanese lanterns. It was just after 8 a.m. when I pulled into Mike’s driveway and parked behind Pop’s pickup. Mike’s doors were never locked. I let myself in. Mike’s place was a giant man cave. Animal heads hung on the walls between framed pictures of wilderness scenes. Cushions made from beaver pelts lay on the living room couch. A beautifully executed mount of a five-pound Copper River steelhead set against a twisted piece of driftwood so skillfully it seemed alive, sat on a coffee table next to an overstuffed chair. To imitate the stream bed under the fish, Mike had placed suitably sized rocks he’d cleaned then coated with lacquer. Each rock had been selected for its distinctive shape and/or colour. Each had come from a different steelhead stream. Mike had printed the name of the river from which each stone had come on its underside before applying the first coat of lacquer. There were about fifty stones in the display. At the end of the hallway that led to the bedrooms a roll top desk Pop had built filled half of Mike’s fly tying room. In glass cabinets above the desk was a large collection of reels, some fly reels including some old winches of Hardy manufacture, ancient bait casting reels, quirky contraptions
“It’s one of the few gentleman’s sports still left out there. Everyone shakes each other’s hands, good game,” she said. “And the kids are taught, in our junior program on Monday night, kids are taught the etiquette of the game. It’s a different breed of people. They’ve got that etiquette about them and it’s there in the game.” The club is looking at hosting a Sunday league if they can get enough teams, and, for the singles, Diana noted that the club is “always looking for spares, too. “You don’t need experience to curl, there are teams that will ANNA KILLEN PHOTOS pick you up and say, come on out, join our Wednesday league SCENES FROM a spiel: At top, Malcolm Hill, part of the Sunset RV team or you can just get a game in – and a four-generation family of curlers.

Travels with Mike III
Gene told Mike and me, and anyone else who would listen, of the incredible fishing he and his partner had. Two decades after Gene had the best steelheading of his life, Martin Schmederer, fuelled by money from a German corporation, used helicopters to take rich anglers into the same area. Dave Ross, who timber cruised the area, admitted to me years later that he’d taken his rod with him on a few occasions and enjoyed some spectacular fishing after a day’s work. For the most part though the area was unexplored. It was mid-morning by the time we reached the end of the road. There was a spectacular waterfall falling thousands of feet over a sheer face in the distance. The upper flanks of the steep sharp mountains of the Telkwa Range were snow covered. The vivid beauty of the place was stunning. We walked for what must have been several kilometres through a forest populated predominantly by aged hemlocks. The valley steepened. I had to work hard to keep up with Mike. There, he said, stopping and pointing to a river bend far below. That’s gotta be the Copper. My heart was pounding. We wore latex waders. I was soaked in sweat. After a few breaths we were off, bouncing down a steep moss covered chute between two rock bluffs toward the river sinking up to our calves in the deep green moss with each leap. Continued next week…

Perils of social media subject of session WITH ALL the new social media out there and the new types that seem to keep popping up, it’s hard to keep up, or to know how far information can travel online or how much privacy you have, or don’t have. In an effort to keep the public and parents up to date on social media and its issues, the RCMP, Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, Northwest Community College and others are presenting Social Media Awareness for Community and Parents with Jesse Miller of Mediated Reality, who talks to schools and communities and companies on topics of social media awareness, mobile communications, and online content evaluation.
Teacher aspires to be MP
A VANDERHOOF school teacher wants to be the Conservative Party of Canada Member of Parliament for Skeena – Bulkley Valley.
Gerald Caron announced his candidacy Nov. 12 for his party’s nomination leading to the federal election next October. Caron had been a candidate for the Conservative nomination for the Cariboo-Prince George riding but then changed his mind. “A major consideration in this decision is his strong connections with the riding of Skeena – Bulkley Valley, having worked in Fort St. James, and in Burns Lake, for School District 91,” a release from Caron sent out indicates. Caron said his candidacy was accepted following a presentation made to the annual general meeting earlier this month of the Conservative riding association for the Skeena – Bulkley Valley riding. “The challenge that I am taking on, right now, can only be successful with the support of everyone,” said Caron in the release. NDPer Nathan Cullen is now the MP for the riding.
Presentations also look at the oblivious dangers to connecting users to the internet through social media and mobile devices and understanding how social media runs in parallel with reality. Miller challenges audiences to evaluate
their online profiles and assess privacy and connectivity issues. He combines his diverse background in community policing volunteer management and online behaviour analysis for his presentations. Social Media Aware-
ness for Community and Parents presented by Jesse MiIler is at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 26 at the REM Lee Theatre and it is free. There will be a question and answer session following the presentation at the REM Lee Theatre.

Search could resume THE search for a missing man in the Copper Flats area east of Terrace may continue this week if the weather cooperates. “We are waiting for the water levels to drop,” said Terrace Search and Rescue member Dwayne Sheppard. “Another few days of this cold weather and the river will lower and clear up,” he said. Dustin Steele from Red Deer went missing Nov. 1 after the
truck he and two friends were driving was caught up in the Skeena River current at Copper Flats. Steele’s two friends managed to get to shore but Steele was last seen in the box of the vehicle in the river. Heavy rains hampered the search at first and the truck was recovered some days later. A shoe belonging to Steele was subsequently found.
