The have been more than 30,000 comments and new information provided by Pa-cific NorthWest LNG since the public consultation for the draft environmental report on the proposed Lelu Island proj-ect began 29 days ago.

“We will be evaluating new information submitted by the proponent in an efficient way that meets our obliga-tions to Canadians, as we do for every major project,” said the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Cath-erine McKenna in the House of Commons on March 8.

The proponent submitted its comments to the minister’s office on March 4 to address some of the environmental concerns that were raised by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) in the draft report. The dead-line for comments on the environmental report ends March 11 and then the final decision whether or not to ap-prove the LNG project will rest with McKenna.

The first document from the proponent addresses the

CEAA’s conclusion that the project will have significant adverse affects on the harbour porpoise. Pacific NorthWest’s letter to McKenna, sent via email, states that the informa-tion in the “Marine Mammal Program Interim Report” was delivered on an interim basis and it was not the final report.

In the final report, the proponent found through data collection and habitat suit-ability modelling that there is an alternative habitat avail-able for the harbour porpoise and “the project is not likely to result in a significant ad-verse effect to the harbour porpoise,” the letter states.

Another letter sent to the minister addresses the CEAA’s analysis of how the LNG project would have sig-nificant greenhouse gas emis-sions causing adverse envi-ronmental effects. How the

CEAA came to its conclusion was not satisfactory with the proponent.

“Project environmental effects must be assessed in isolation from effects caused by existing and future activi-ties, other than those associat-ed with the project,” the letter from the proponent states.

The CEAA’s draft envi-ronmental impact statement found that the nature of green-house gas emissions are cu-mulative with climate change happening globally. “These findings are incapable of sup-porting the conclusion that the project will likely cause significant adverse environ-mental effects as a result of it’s GHG emissions.”

Pacific NorthWest LNG suggests other amendments to the CEAA draft report, such as how storm water runoff from the LNG plant will be

collected to avoid contamina-tion. Other nitty gritty amend-ments to the draft include adding seasonal temperature averages in Prince Rupert and semantics, such as adding “calm” to describe the winds that occur on Holland Rock.

The public process is transparent, and all new in-formation from the proponent and the 30,000 public com-ments are available to view online.

“Once the report is final-ized, all information will be provided to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change to help inform her de-termination as to whether the project is likely to cause sig-nificant adverse environmen-tal effects,” said Karen Fish, the communications adviser to the CEAA in an email.

Fish also confirmed that a day before that public con-sultation process ended there were some in-person com-ments submitted to the agen-cy.

In a short time, community support for a young commercial fisherman who was recently diagnosed with cancer demonstrates the incred-ible generosity of people on the North Coast.

In only three days after a GoFundMe page was set up for Cody Scheureman by his girl-friend’s sister, $20,000 was raised by 200 donors.

The initial goal was $10,000 to help with the financial burden while Scheureman goes through five months of chemotherapy treatment at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital. But the dona-tions keep rolling in from friends, acquaintances and even strangers.

How do I say thank you?, Sheureman said.At only 30 years of age, he was diagnosed

with a rare form of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. While he battles the cancer that affects his immune sys-tem he is unable to work with his crew who are currently in the south fishing for herring. The story of his diagnosis touched the hearts of many in the small city, where he shares a home with his girlfriend Sam Kasdorf.

“My family is blown away because they see it all online. My friends and family who live in Alberta, and who have wondered why I’ve stayed up here so long in this rainy little town, see some-thing like this happen,” Scheureman said trailing off in a loss of words.

He doesn’t know where to begin to say thank you to everyone. He grew up in Kitimat, and then his family moved to Alberta. Homesick for the North Coast, he returned to study at the North-West Community College 10 years ago. He found a job and stayed.The names of the donors are shown on the

Whether the lique-� ed natural gas (LNG) industry develops on the North Coast or not, the B.C. govern-ment has committed to spending $9 million dollars on Tsimshian people for skills train-ing. The provincial funding is over three years and will be hand-ed over to the Tsimshi-an Roundtable, a part-nership between six First Nations commu-nities in the Tsimshian Alliance, and LNG proponents. The orga-nization came together two years ago to make sure Tsimshian people bene� t from proposed LNG projects in the area by making sure a workforce is prepared for when the industry does decide to develop in the province. Gitx-aala Chief Clifford White co-chairs the roundtable with Simon Nish, the vice presi-dent at BG Group. “It’s a coordinated approach

by the Tsimshian com-munities, � rst of all, seeing how training can be provided through each of the communi-ties without major du-plication,” White said adding a hypothetical example where each community might train 12 millwrights, total-ling 72 trained but there are only positions for 30 millwrights.

“We want to make sure that we’re not all training for the same trade, and making sure that our people have those opportunities,” he said. The Tsimshi-an Alliance is made up of the Metlakatla, Lax Kw’alaams, Gitga’at,

Gitxaala, Kitselas and Kitsumkalum Na-tions. White said the group has been work-ing with unions, the province and the LNG proponents to make sure 25 per cent of the work force is appren-tice related and of that number 50 per cent of the apprenticeships or trades will be available for First Nations.

The funding isn’t just for skilled trades. The workforce that the Tsimshian Roundtable plans to build includes short-term occupa-tions with little train-ing, such as cleaners, to long-term positions that require more train-

ing, such as doctors, lawyers, � nanciers and supervisors.

The provincial government invested $1.2 million in May 2015 for a similar pur-poses — to fund the Aboriginal skills trade program, Pathways to Success, in Prince Rupert and Terrace. Since that time, the provincial government announced in a press release that the pro-gram has resulted in setting up more than 180 Tsimshian wom-en and men with jobs in customer service, construction and envi-ronmental monitoring with an average wage

of $18.75 an hour. B.C. Premier

Christy Clark an-nounced the $9 mil-lion in new funding on Tuesday, March 8.

“We have three things we’ve got to do. We’ve got to connect with the private sector, � gure out what those jobs are, then we’ve got to work with First Nations and � gure out what their aspirations as individuals are, and then we have to con-nect them through the appropriate training,” Clark said.

Each First Nations community is evaluat-ing its own members and how they should be trained and educated to meet the immediate needs within the com-munity themselves, Clifford said. Some communities will con-tinue on Pathways to Success program. De-spite the waiting game for a � nal investment decision from at least one of the LNG pro-ponents, Clark said the

million dollar invest-ment is needed to train First Nations on the North Coast. She cited that $20 billion had already been spent in the province pre-� nal investment decision in preparing the land for potential development.

“It’s been slow, slower than anyone predicted because no

one predicted $30 a barrel oil. In the mean-time though, we’re training people for jobs that exist,” Clark said.

A funding agree-ment between the province and the Tsim-shian Roundtable will be prepared to start the three-year investment on April 1.

A Greener Black Out

“Aluminum in� nitely recyclable”

Climate action useful for emissions reductionA plan to get fund-

ing for residents, busi-nesses and municipal governments who re-duce emissions was pro-posed to the District of Kitimat last week.

Though there were not enough town coun-cillors present at the council meeting to make the presentation of� cial (no quorum), Kitimat CAO Warren Waycheshen said the information was timely. District planning and economic development staff joined a confer-ence call to discuss lo-cal government climate action with the province yesterday, March 15,

and Waycheshen said he would bring forward the ideas presented last week. The ideas came from Thornhill resident Martin Holzbauer, who said that all parties — residents, businesses, municipalities and the provincial government — would bene� t from a few changes to the in-centives in the Climate Action Revenue Incen-tive Program.

The program of-fers conditional grants to municipalities for reducing their carbon footprint and is up for public review until March 25.

“All the local gov-

ernments [should] ask to expand the pro-gram to give the same bene� t of a rebate for anybody who reduces [emissions]. People, businesses that reduce [could] also have a dol-lar amount given to them and the same dol-lar amount to the munic-ipal government where the reduction occurred,” Holzbauer proposed.

“This way, B.C. may meet their 2020 emissions reduction tar-get.” He said that B.C. is not doing well in cli-mate action compared to other provinces and areas, and should use carbon tax money more

for efforts to reduce emissions.

He added that the effects would ben-e� t everyone and bring more local investments in clean-energy proj-ects, local jobs, emis-sions reductions, better air quality, and more funding for municipal governments. It would also bene� t the province through tax revenue from local investments, energy-savings, and less emissions.

Mayor Phil Ger-muth and CAO Waycheshen thanked Holzbauer for his ideas to pursue an expanded incentive program to

include people and busi-nesses.

“You can’t argue with his points,” said Waycheshen. “We can only measure the mu-nicipal and only get the credit for munici-pal reductions.” “It’s de� nitely a point that we will be bringing for-ward [in the conference call with the provincial government],” he said. Waycheshen said that district staff are joining the conference call to hear input from other communities before they determine whether or not they will formally submit input on the cli-mate action plan.

LNG Canada once again was available to the community at a pizza party/info session they hosted March 7 at the Riverlodge. LNG Canada staff welcomed any questions or concerns anyone may have had and were available to explain any of the interactive displays presented throughout the room. Over 300 people showed their enthusiam while gobbling pizza and drinks provided by LNG Canada.

sity travelled to Ottawa, along with First Nations representatives and public interest groups, to voice their concerns about the project.

Moore was one of the primary signatories of an open letter signed by more than 130 scientists and academics.

That letter was sent to the federal govern-ment urging the rejection of the Canadian Envi-

ronmental Assessment Agency’s (CEAA) draft report.

The group, along with Moore, met with the Parliamentary Secretary Jonathan Wilkinson on Thursday, March 10 and will meet with McK-enna later in the week via video-conference.

“To ensure procedural fairness, a record of these meetings will be shared with the propo-nent,” Fish said.

One of the elements I have enjoyed most about writing the “Under Miscel-laneous” column for the last 14 years is simply the opportunity to pass along stories and information that fascinates me. Maybe me alone, but numerous readers over the years have comment-ed favorably on that very thing...

On Tuesday (last week) the New York Times covered a “war” in Europe that few people have heard about. It is being waged in the famed Italian wine country of Chianti in Tuscany. The bat-tle � eld is the vineyards and the enemy is a growing and voracious wildlife -- wild boars and deer -- that have been increasingly ravaging the vineyards.

People around the world love the dark wines of the region while the ani-mals love to feed on the tender vines and the fruits of the vineyard. The toll is estimated at $11 million to $16 mil-lion a year in lost harvest

The problem has been caused in recent years by a trebling of the num-bers of boar and roe deer. The govern-ment has now passed laws to conduct a major cull that will take numbers down

from an estimated 400,000 to a more manageable 150,000 over three years.

Traditional hunters, wine farmers and environmentalists have all found elements of the plan to be question-able...

Hunters and environmentalists differ on changes to hunting seasons, hunting areas and methods. Vineyard owners have resorted to numerous techniques -- seven foot high wire fences, electric fences and machin-ery to produce high ultrasonic sound waves that repel animal invaders. Much of the public has concerns about fences impacting the visual beauty of the region as well as increased arming of the hunters.

War among humans -- or with hun-gry wildlife -- is still hell!

-----I have a couple of computers, a

“smart” phone and even a nice big screen “smart” TV.

I have security, anti-virus and anti-malware protections on my “devices” - Geez, I hate that word -but I was sur-prised to � nd that owners of “smart” TV sets can be hack victims, while us-ing the smart features of the TV when connected to the internet.

Not what I wanted to read while scanning the news last week. Of course it is not surprising to many people who have had information stolen through TV-hacking.

So I guess it’s wise to treat your TV like your computer. These TVs are a computer, so use the same common sense you would for keeping your lap-top safe. It goes without saying, do not visit suspicious websites or click on strange links.

And, keep your TV system up-to-date.

It’s time for the provincial govern-ment to address the home heating inequity faced by natural gas users from Vander-hoof west to the coast.

For years northwestern customers of Paci� c Northern Gas have been paying more to heat their homes with natural gas than anywhere else because the large industries which once used the majority of the capacity of the utility’s pipeline have disappeared, leaving the remaining customers to shoulder the entire burden of maintaining the line.

That would have changed had the Douglas Channel LNG project at Kitimat gone ahead because it would have taken up all of that surplus capacity and paid its share accordingly.

With that project now shelved, north-westerners will continue paying delivery rates easily three times what they are elsewhere in B.C.

The province has a ready-made tool to deal with this inequity. As part of its revenue-neutral carbon tax policy, the standard $570 homeowner grant currently increases to as much as $770 for north-ern and rural residents depending upon where they live. It is a partial recognition that they pay more for energy because of where they live.

It would be more than reasonable to increase that amount speci� cally for northwesterners because of high natural gas delivery rates.

With the May 2017 provincial elec-tion not that far away, it is a stance voters should urge candidates to pursue.

In the Smeltersite days the goods avail-able to residents were few and essentially limited to the basics. But some of the new residents saw that as an opporunity.

Recognising the many fathers working on the project needed to be able to send greet-ing cards and small gifts to loved ones back home, Malcolm Baxter’s mother Cathy teamed up with friend Clare Wright to set up a home-based business � lling that niche.

Similarly Ron Burnett’s mother Iona established a thriving women’s clothing busi-ness out of her home, #80 Smeltersite - and she counted Cathy among her customers.

Having clearly in-herited his mother’s entreprenurial spirit, Ron became Kitimat’s � rst paper boy, secur-ing a Vancouver Sun franchise.

After picking up the papers from the Northland dock, Ron would head up to the Mess Hall where hun-dreds of hungry work-ers in line for their meals would scoop up his papers. He was in-variably sold out and made plenty in tips too.

Ron did so well that he was able to � -nance a trip via Queen Charlotte Airlines from the Alcan Beach seaplane ramp to Van-couver to attend the Commonwealth and Empire Games in 1954 where he witnessed the famous Miracle Mile race in which on the

� nal turn Brit Roger Bannister powered past Aussie John Landry for victory, both men breaking the four-min-ute barrier.

As the temporary Smeltersite and Ander-son Creek communi-ties were phased out, the place to be became the Nechako Centre, the new city’s � rst re-tail development.

Iona’s Dress Shop-pe and Baxter’s Toys and Gift’s wre among its � rst stores and by 1956 the centre also boasted Super Valu,

Kitimat Pharmacy, Stone’s Menswear, Baly’s Shoe Store, Northern Radio and Record Sales, Spic-er’s Florist, a bakery, Brenton Barbers, the Beauty Nook and, of course, Coghlin Hard-ware while across a beautifully landscaped courtyard there was the Nechako Theatre. And the upper � oor housed the doctors and den-tists.

Truly Nechako Centre had it all.

(Incidentally, Ron became a custodian at

the centre.)Sure the town still

had its mud and board-walks, but Lois Rich-ards recalls that with the brand new shop-ping centre and houses the buildings of the community were like shiny new pennies.

Ruth Stockman re-members rollerskating on those boardwalks was a challenging but adrenaline-� lled ex-perience. The risk of

a wipeout and slivers was ever present, but rollerskating was never as much fun when con-crete sidewalks went it.

One of the con-sequences of the mud days was fashion foot-wear had to take a back seat to gumboots. At the new Nechako El-ementary you would see a forest of look alike boots which prompted principal Mr. Armstrong to solve the

problem of which be-longed to who by label-ling all the boots with their owner’s name.

Jackie Mufford liked her new elemen-tary school but her neighbourhood was even more extraordi-nary. Its design with underpasses and over-passes allowed you to walk anywhere without going on the street.

“It was wonder-ful,” she says, “Kiti-

mat’s was a � ne design.Malcolm Baxter

agrees.One of the best de-

cisions the planners of the community made was to leave small patches of trees like the ones between Pintail and Swallow.

“It was a great playground and where we used to harvest large quantities of blue-berries each year which Mum used to make de-licious pies with.

“On one such foray into the bush we spot-ted smoke rising from the ground. Investiga-tion revealed a bro-ken bottle which had magni� ed the sun’s rays enough to ignite the moss. We put it out very quickly and promptly declared our-selves Junior Fire� ght-ers.”

He added that de-spite regular patrols of

National ENGINEERING MonthDiscover what engineering can offer you!

Engineering Safety and HockeyWithout a doubt, hockey is a risky game — players skating, pucks � ying, sticks up, boards and super solid ice. Canadian engineers took into consideration the dangerous impact areas of the skull and the areas where injuries occur most often, and developed a comfortable helmet that wouldn’t obstruct vision or hearing. Most importantly, this design allows us to safely play our beloved sport.

Trans Canada HighwayThe Trans-Canada Highway between Victoria, British Columbia and St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador is the world’s longest national highway with a length of 8030 km. That’s over 87,527 football � elds! Thanks to the brilliant minds of engineers, the road truly connects Canada and allows visitors to see fascinating Canadian landmarks along the way.

CN TowerA trip to Toronto wouldn’t be the same without it! It remains the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere, the signature icon of Toronto’s skyline and a famous symbol of Canada. Each year, it attracts more than two million international visitors, and is even declared as one of the Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Teaching an Arti� cial Limb to MoveEngineers have truly changed the lives of amputees by discovering just how electricity in the body controls arti� cial limbs. This will mean increased freedom, comfort and mobility for amputees or people born with a defect.The limb actually “learns” to move just the way the wearer wants thanks to small motors in the prosthetic limb.

IMAXThe IMAX experience is so much more than watching a movie on a massive screen. With � awless sound, and of course funny glasses when watching in 3D, the IMAX system has truly revolutionized the way the entire world experiences the movies.Seeing the problems of past projectors, three young Canadians—Roman Kroitor, Graeme Ferguson and Robert Kerr—knew that they could come up with a better system to watch � lms. At the time, the challenge was to marry the

� lm with the projector, a problem other inventors struggled with over the years. After many variations, and chewed up tape, they found the right � t and truly changed the way the world watches movies.

The CanadarmOne of the most signi� cant advances in space engineering, the Canadarm, measures 15.2 metres in length, and weighs 410 kilograms! One of the Canadarm’s most impressive engineering achievements is its ability to capture a free-� ying payload in a zero gravity environment. The slightest contact with an object in space would send it spinning away. Safety is most important in the minds of Spar Aerospace’s (SPAR) engineers, as there is no room for mistakes in space. During more than 50 missions and after 7,000 orbits around the earth, the Canadarm has never malfunctioned. You can see why the Canadarm is one of the greatest Canadian engineering achievements.

Transcontinental RailwayCanadian engineers truly had their work cut out for them while creating the Transcontinental Railway. The railway’s route linking east and west had its challenges, including going across the Canadian Shield, frequent avalanche zones, three mountain ranges and heavily forested areas. Through well planned construction and the creation of two tunnels – the railway is a great Canadian landmark and a fantastic engineering achievement.

There are a large variety of engineering fields to choose from.

Engineering has affected Canada and the world in many ways. We have listed a few of those ways below.

Engineering is more exciting than many think. It is truly all around us. When you drive across a bridge, fly a plane, use a computer or make a cell phone call, you experience the brilliant work of engineers. The results of their work can also be seen in satellites orbiting the Earth, on offshore oil rigs and in tall buildings rising from the world’s metropolitan cities. Canadians can work more efficiently, play more safely and enjoy life more fully, thanks to engineers.

Engineers shape our future with forward thinking designs, new technologies and breakthrough developments that haven’t been thought up yet. They prove, each and every day, that anything’s possible.

National Engineering Month is the biggest national celebration of engineering excellence, where volunteers in each province and territory host over 500 events that show Canadians how rewarding the career choice can really be.

During the month of March, the profession strives to reach out to young Canadians to let them know what an exciting and fun career choice engineering really is. It is an opportunity for youth to learn about many disciplines of engineering, and allow them to see where their skill set and interests are best fitted.

Since there are so many areas of engineering, it’s important for students to understand the various things they can do as engineers so they can pick the discipline that truly motivates and excites them the most.

National Engineering Month also gives students the opportunity to learn about the remarkable accomplishments Canada’s engineers have made over the years. Be sure to check out this site’s Great Canadian Engineering section to learn things like how engineering work pushes the boundaries of flight and contributes to amazing man-made structures, and the Engineers in Profile section to meet incredible engineers who have been conducting important work like allowing amputees to control their artificial limbs with ease and building earthquake resistant structures.

Parents, teachers, students, aspiring engineers and engineers themselves can get involved in exciting National Engineering Month volunteer opportunities. Learn more through this site’s Volunteer Opportunities section. Engineers who get involved can showcase the amazing work they do and Canada’s youth will discover that anything’s possible when it comes to engineering. There is certainly no other profession like it!

Art ExhibitionThe student exhibition for the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art, Northwest Community College, opened at the Kitimat Museum & Archives on Saturday, March 5. Many talented artists will have their art on display. The show continues to March 26.

Three St. Anthony’s Catholic School students and a teacher from the school are off to Japan March 22 on a 12-day academic and cultural experience.

The three, one student in each of Grade 7,8 and 9, are members of the school’s after hours Japan Club and accom-panying them will be teacher and club sponsor Christopher Reilly.

Reilly, who grew up in Kitimat and spent 10 years living and teaching in Japan before returning home, said the idea of a trip first came up last fall.

“It was literally one of the students saying let’s go to Japan,” recalled Reilly who

started the Japan club nearly three years ago.

He wasn’t sure the re-quest would be approved by school authorities but when it was, students then embarked on trip preparations and fund raising.

“We did a lot of fund rais-ing,” said Reilly adding that movie nights complete with popcorn were held at St. An-thony’s as one way of raising money.

Up to 10 students at a time come out for Japan club activities which include learn-ing about the art, culture, his-tory and geography of Japan.

Students also prepare Japanese food and the three students going to Japan will

also be able to communicate a bit thanks to learning the Japanese language as part of their club activities.

Reilly said the origins of the Japan club date back to his teaching a unit about the country to his Grade 6 class.

“They wanted to learn more about the country so that’s when I started the after school club,” he said.

Reilly and the three stu-dents will be part of a larger tour group and the sched-ule calls for visits to Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Hakone, the latter being a more rural location contain-ing hotsprings.

They’ll be travelling be-tween the larger cities on

high-speed bullet trains, a transportation method that will fit in well with learning about science, said Reilly.

“They operate by mag-lev,” said Reilling using the shortened form of the phrase magnetic levitation, the method by which trains travel quickly along a guideway us-ing magnets to create both lift and forward motion.

Students at St. Anthony’s will be able to share in the travel experience of the three students as they’ll be hosting a slide show and video night when they return.

That’s also to acknowl-edge the assistance provided by the students to make the trip possible.

Three excited students and their proud teacher look forward to experiencing Japanese culture. Pictured (l-r) are Keenan Viveiros, Olivia Feldhoff, Nina Gibaldi, and teacher Christopher Reilly.

Kasdorf is grateful for the support from the community and from her sister who started the fundraiser.

“I feel really blessed in a sense and grateful that she took the initiative to do this for us because if she asked us we would have said ‘no’, but I’m glad she did it because there’s a huge relief finan-cially for the next year, and going forth with fu-ture medical bills, the house and so on,” she said.

the area, they never again found another � re in the making.

In the later 50s the town focus changed from Nechako Centre to the new City Centre Mall. Nothing could beat Lois Richard’s story of the Friday night of work at the City Centre with all Alcan and in-town paydays coinciding.

She was one of the team of cashiers at the new downtown SuperValu. Every-one was stocking up for the week with the lines of shopping carts going right back to the meat counters.

Before the night was over they were out of coins. Even the banks were out. No wonder her till wouldn’t balance at the end of the night!

Most folk remember the crowds

lined up for the grand opening of the Hudson Bay Store in the City Centre (now Trigo’s). Car loads of eager shop-pers from Rupert and Terrace were in the lines, having driven down on the newly opened Highway 25, passing right by the spanking new and inviting Skoglund Hotsprings Resort.

It really did seem that Kitimat had the world by the tail, that it was the jewel of the north.

By the 60s, the town was evolving and a sort of new Kitimat was emerg-ing. In most respects Kitimat was self-contained. People made good wages and they expected services and quality goods. In those days, government servic-es were available right in town - Jackie Mufford’s mom June became Kitimat’s

First Government Agent.Services like licensing vehicles were

much easier to come by in those days. In-grun recalls the ease of getting her driv-er’s licence at the RCMP of� ce. Even the test procedure was dead easy.

Kitimat had many � ne facilities. One of Jackie’s favorites was the � rst library in the new townsite, situated at the Fire Hall near the jail. Totally run by � remen, she says that tiny library was the best.

Out of school opportunities were abundant. Besides church youth groups there was square dancing, scouting, guiding and many sports. Soccer and baseball were two of the top sports but others like curling, hockey, and badmin-ton were emerging.

I don’t think smart TV hacking is a huge issue yet, but the conmen are � nding ways to tap in to connection

information just as they did with smartphones in recent years.

For myself, I have no plans to use my TV to “browse” - I’m told my TV has a built-in � rewall that

needs to be activated. Plus you need to ensure

your personal router is as ful-ly protected as you can make it, with a strong password.
