Chamber letter upsets directorTHORNHILL KITIMAT-STIKINE regional district director Ted Ramsey says he’s not happy the Ter-race and District Chamber of Commerce has entered the debate on how the rural community might be gov-erned some day.

Ramsey, who is spear-heading a move that could result in a referendum of Thornhill residents to decide if they wish to incorporate as a municipality, says the chamber shouldn’t be in-volved.

“The thing they seem to miss is the democratic pro-

cess that Thornhill is entitled to do and I do not want the merchants to get in the way,” said Ramsey of the chamber during discussion at the Jan. 23 regional district meeting.

The chamber’s letter, sent Jan. 12 to Coralee Oakes, the provincial minister re-sponsible for local and re-gional governments, urges the province to consider all alternatives, including boundary extensions and amalgamation involving Terrace.

“I see this as between the province, the community of Thornhill and the board and

I’d like to keep it there. I find this insulting,” said Ramsey of the letter which was also sent to the regional district.

“We’re (Thornhill) quite capable and I do not want the chamber to be involved.”

Ramsey added that he understands that the cham-ber looks at all economic de-velopment, which is one of the reasons Thornhill wants incorporation so it can find its own destiny and that the chamber’s involvement isn’t appropriate.

Regional district chair Stacey Tyers, who is also a Terrace city councillor,

asked if Ramsey wanted to respond to the chamber let-ter and he said no response was maybe best.

“It is our show and we do not want [the chamber] in-volved, we truly don’t,” said Ramsey.

Regional district ad-ministrator Bob Marcellin reminded Ramsey that the chamber was not just the city but included businesses in Thornhill and the rural ar-eas around Terrace too.

Ramsey said later last week that the province hadn’t responded to the re-gional district’s request for

possible incorporation of Thornhill.

But he did add that Oakes has told him a response would be coming early this year.

When Thornhill hears back from the ministry, then it will move forward, said Ramsey.

“My read on it is [the chamber] is making mon-etary decisions on Thornhill which they have no right to do,” he said.

“One idea behind incor-poration is that Thornhill will make its own deci-sions. It’s astonishing that

they keep missing that,” said Ramsey.

The chamber’s letter also said “The combined popula-tions of Terrace, Thornhill and surrounding communi-ties make up what is now referred to as the Greater Terrace Area.”

Ramsey said that’s part of what makes the chamber comments inappropriate.

“The citizens of Thorn-hill will decide on whether they want to incorporate. It has nothing to do with the Greater Terrace Area,” he said.

THE MAN accused of posting a racist comment to an online article that RCMP are investigating as a possible hate crime is denying it was he who posted it.

Reached by phone Saturday, Jan. 31, Howard Boake, a Terrace resident, said he believes his Facebook account has been hacked multiple times and that he didn’t post the com-ment which first appeared Jan. 27 nor any of the other com-ments previously posted by the same account.

“Somebody hacked my Facebook account somehow or another,” he said. “That’d be pretty stupid for me to do that under my own name, wouldn’t it?”

Boake also confirmed he’s been in contact with Terrace RCMP officers and said he doesn’t know who could have hacked into his account and posted comments.

“I don’t know who it is, or why,” Boake said. “It’s cer-tainly giving me a bad name, unfortunately. But I did not do it, I swear to that, I did not put that on Facebook.”

Boake has been on the receiving end of multiple online threats since a screenshot of the post, which makes racist comments about First Nations, went viral, and he added that he is scared. “I don’t know what to do about it,” he said.

Terrace RCMP began last week investigating the com-ment that is being called “a hate crime” by many who have read it.

The comment appeared briefly through a posting by a Facebook user called Howie Boake to an online Terrace Standard article Jan. 27 before it was removed by blocking software.

Before the comment was blocked, however, a screenshot of the comment was captured and that image has been shared widely on social media.

THE PLANS by local Ro-tary clubs to build a kids splash park in Terrace was supported by Terrace coun-cil at a recent council meet-ing, however several coun-cillors were uncertain that George Little Park is the right location.

Speaking at the Jan. 26 regular council meeting, Terrace Rotary Club presi-dent Kelly Gingles said the park, which already contains a playground section, a se-niors exercise section and a performance stage, is their preferred location for the fa-cility because of its central-ity and accessibility for all social groups.

The Terrace Rotary Club, in concert with the Terrace Skeena Valley Rotary Club who was represented by their president, Lisa Nov-ich, wants to build the up to $250,000 splash park beside the current kids play area.

“Not all families can go to the lakes,” said Gingles,

adding that the Rotary clubs had thoroughly considered several locations for the splash park.

Councillor Stacey Tyers said she thought the South-side would be a better lo-cation because most city recreational facilities are al-ready downtown, such as the aquatic centre.

She mentioned the park behind Walmart as one pos-sible location or one on Haugland Ave.

Diminishing green space was also brought up by Ty-ers and councillor Lynne Christiansen as worries. She suggested a splash park de-sign that was narrower in di-mension and having less of a footprint on the green space.

Councillor Michael Pre-vost said he wanted to en-sure it was a safe distance from traffic on Kalum and other nearby streets.

The Rotary presentation mentioned corporate spon-sorship and grants as well as money already set aside for such a project and raised

through events such as Oc-toberfest.

The groups are confident they can amass the neces-sary money for a pegged completion date of summer 2016.

Once constructed, main-

tenance and water costs would be borne by the city, and Gingles said the esti-mated price is $1,000 based on a splash park in the simi-lar-sized town of Merritt.

The amount of water used would be approximately the

same as four to nine houses use in a year, Gingles told council.

City staff have yet to create an estimate of the cost and will come back to council with a recommenda-tion based on price and their

own analysis of possible locations. Councillor Sean Bujtas said he likes the idea but was waiting to see what the cost estimates for utili-ties and upkeep of the splash park before fully commit-ting to the project.

Lift reaches skywardNECK CRANED up-ward to follow the movement of the mas-sive boom lift far above, Kory McKay provided a running commentary.

“We brought in some of 135 feet last year, then 150 and now this one,” said the United Rentals area manager while watching as each of the five sections of the boom lift telescoped out in turn up toward the maximum height of 185 feet, the equivalent of nearly 19 storeys.

“There’s only seven in the world and this one is the only one in Canada,” he said while keeping an eye on the lift’s extension capabili-ties far above.

McKay and a group of United Rentals em-ployees at the com-pany’s Terrace staging yard were gathered out-side to watch the boom lift being put through its paces.

Manufactured by the JLG Corporation of Pensylvania the 1850SJ boom series is barely a year old and the one McKay and the others were watching arrived in Terrace the end of January from its previ-ous location on the is-land of Manhattan.

From a first enquir-ing phone call from a customer to arrival at the United Rentals yard on Keith Ave. in Terrace where its welds were in-spected by an engineer-ing firm before being readied for its customer, the process took four months.

“It came up from the States through Que-

bec,” said McKay of the boom’s journey via a flatbed truck across the country to Terrace.

“It was last at the Twin Towers,” added McKay of the site where the World Trade Centre buildings were located prior to 9/11.

The northwest cus-tomer in this case is Bantrel, a construction and engineering com-pany partially owned by Bechtel and working at Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kiti-mat smelter modern-ization project where Bechtel is the prime contractor.

On the day of the demonstration, Bantrel’s Tony Langille and Josh Mechtel from United Rentals were high up in the opera-tor’s platform measur-ing eight feet by three feet, testing out the self-propelled lift’s various functions.

“This is going to give us reach,” said Langille after returning to earth of the boom lift’s opera-tion once onsite at the smelter modernization project.

“What this can do is go up and then out, over other work,” he said.

In addition to the platform height, fully extended at 185 feet, a two-section jib can ex-tend up to 20 feet for more reach capability.

JLG’s specs for the boom state that because of its height and reach, it can provide a work area of more than 2.9 million cubic feet.

When not in use, the boom is compact enough to be trans-

ported on a large flatbed trailer.

In this case, the transportation of the boom from Terrace to the smelter construc-tion site at Kitimat was handled by Spring Creek Aggregates, a di-vision of the Bear Creek Group.

“I can’t say enough about them,” said McK-ay. “We made a call and they were here.”

United Rentals, which has more than 880 outlets through the United States and Cana-da and which bills itself as the world’s largest equipment rental pro-vider, set up shop in the former DHL location on Keith Ave. in Terrace just over a year and a half ago in response to the needs of a number of large-scale regional development projects.

It’s provided lifts, for example, to the Red Chris copper mine proj-ect owned by Imperial Metals.

McKay says the Ter-race United Rentals employee complement now stands at approxi-mately 30 people.

SEABRIDGE GOLD has made its third consecu-tive $100,000 donation to Northwest Community College (NWCC) to support trades training in northwestern British Columbia, the region where its planned KSM Project is located.

The donation will continue NWCC’s Intro to Trades 10 program, which introduces five trades to grade 10 students. Seabridge presented the cheque to Northwest Community College at a reception on January 26 held during the Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia’s Mineral Explora-tion Roundup Conference 2015 in Vancouver, B.C.

The KSM property, which contains a massive gold and copper deposit, is located 65 km north-west of Stewart, B.C. The project was approved by both the provincial and federal governments last year. Seabridge is now looking for financing.

Plagued by � ood, � re, and economic depression, the Lakelse hot springs prop-erty lay dormant from the

mid-1930s until 1958, when it was purchased by local logging entre-preneur Ray Skoglund, who imme-diately began implementing a vi-sionary, multi-phase development.

Skoglund, who was widely ac-cepted as a local man working to better the area, took over the 320 acres comprising the Lakelse hot springs property from Lloyd John-stone in the late 1950s, and oper-ated the resort from 1958 into the 1970s.

Johnstone had purchased back the hot springs property after his father had lost it in the 1930s, but, busy as Terrace’s mayor and also as a business owner, he had al-lowed the property to stagnate.

Skoglund immediately began an ambitious tiered development for the Lakelse Hotsprings Resort, which were later rechristened Sk-oglund Hotsprings Resort.

Skoglund, who along with part-ner Sandy Sandover-Sly, simul-taneously operated a successful Terrace logging company from the mid-1950s through the early 1980s, envisioned a family-ori-ented, local operation with global appeal. He was renowned for his enthusiasm and vision, and imple-mented the � rst two major phases of his plan within eight years.

“His formula is basic,” reported The Terrace Omineca Herald in 1966. “[T]ake a liberal amount of enthusiasm, add an even more lib-eral amount of hard work and de-termination and you come up with a job well done.”

Kitimat’s Northern Sentinel praised Skoglund’s resort as not being “owned outside” in a 1959 editorial.

“When a country has treated you well, then you must return the favour,” Skoglund said. At the same time as he employed his children in the resort, Skoglund marketed it worldwide, sending ar-ticles and promotional material as far a� eld as Buckingham Palace.

“Ray had the courage, vision, enthusiasm, equipment, credit and

know-how to work a miracle,” Stan Rough said in the Northern Senti-nel in the spring of 1961.

Purchased in June of 1958, by the middle of August, Skoglund had constructed a large gravity-fed concrete pool complete with change rooms. It measured 23 by 5.5 metres, and sported hot springs water cooled to about 32 degrees Celsius. Fourteen duplex cabins with private baths were under con-struction, as was a snack bar.

Over the � rst winter, the origi-nal pool was covered when the snow failed to discourage visitors from the surrounding region.

“I used to shiver just watch-ing them,” Skoglund wrote of the intrepid swimmers. “We decided to cover the small pool to make things more comfortable for those who preferred life a little less rug-ged but to leave the large pool un-covered for the hardy types.”

A Gothic-style arch frame of laminated spruce was covered with plastic, which kept the pool warm and the snow out.

In 1959, Skoglund continued to expand the hot springs into a re-sort. With much fanfare, he opened a $125,000 extension in the au-tumn of 1959.

A second, slightly cooler out-door pool measuring 30.5 by 15 metres featured underwater light-ing, two diving boards, and a wind-break. Change rooms with a capac-ity of 400 guests were � anked by a steam room and Roman baths for guests with health issues.

Ten deluxe furnished house-keeping suites were located on a second storey, and 24 cosy tents complete with a stove, tables, and chairs in a clearing west of the buildings provided lower-budget accommodations. Renovations converted an earlier building into a lounge and coffee bar. A 731-metre manmade canal allowed for lake access to and from the hot springs.

By 1962, a new � ne dining room and state-of-the-art kitchen were opened. The Northland Din-ing Room boasted an impressively large stone � replace, in keeping with the rustic setting. There were 26 guest suites in total, including

the 10 deluxe housekeeping suites.More than 125,000 people had

visited the resort in the � rst three years of operation. Following the completion of Skoglund’s � rst phase, local newspapers marvelled that “wilderness has been turned into a luxurious resort.”

In September of 1965, Skoglund announced his plans for a $500,000 expansion to the property, herald-ing the resort’s second phase of de-velopment. A third Olympic-sized swimming pool was completed in 1966, as was a ski hill across the highway from the main spring.

More campsites and spaces for trailers were added. A planned ma-rina service with rental boats com-plemented the existing canal to the lake. A new hotel complex with 48 new units, cocktail lounge, stone � replace, dining room, and lobby was slated for construction.

The Power Corporation De-velopment Company of Canada provided � nancial assistance for the expansion. “However large the place may grow,” Skoglund prom-ised, “it has always been my wish that families of the northern area may never be out priced for a re-laxing holiday at the springs.”

In September 1965, Skoglund asked residents to “pray for snow” when announcing his $25,000 plans for a ski hill across the high-way from the hot springs.

Apparently, the prayers were successful: on 30 January 1966, more than 1,000 people attended a ski meet at ‘Skogy’s Hill,’ eas-ily matching the 1,000 people who attended the opening day the week before.

Skiers from across the region competed in the ladies’ junior and senior events, and men’s ju-venile, junior, and senior events. According to the Terrace Omineca Herald, Skoglund himself had in-tended to present the Skogy’s Ski Hill Cup, but broke his ankle while being towed behind a snowmobile earlier in the day.

The ski hill boasted 380 verti-cal feet serviced by a seven-tower T-bar tow. The hill’s 1,500-foot ski run had a slalom run, “size-able” jumps, and a mercury vapour

� oodlight system for night skiing. “Some of the more seasoned

hickory buffs reached speeds of close to 50 mph as they sped down,” Ruth Hallock wrote of the opening day in the Terrace Omin-eca Herald, “with bright jackets, earmuffs and gauntlets creating an abstract color streak on the sun-tipped hillside.”

The proximity of the hot springs and the ski hill at Skoglund Hotsprings Resort was remarkably unique. The resort was promoted as “the only one of its kind on the North American continent.” Unlike at Banff, for example, one could be soaking in the hot pools within minutes of skiing to the bottom of Skogy’s Ski Hill.

The T-bar, installed by Hall Ski-lift of Montreal in less than two weeks, could handle 400 people per hour. Eventually, Skoglund planned to expand the resort’s ser-viced area to 4,000 feet. The dou-bled T-bar would increase capacity per hour to 900 skiers. He also en-visioned a bunny tow for children.

But, along with the � nal phase of his plans for the hot springs, Sk-oglund’s dreams of expanding the ski hill were never realised, and it was relegated to the fond mythol-ogy of Terrace history. The towers, seen occasionally by hikers, stood as sentries to Skoglund’s visions.

Skoglund’s � nal ambitions for the property ranged from arcades and more camping sites to an 1800-foot landing strip so planes could land within the con� nes of the resort: eventually, the complex would envelope guests, who would not need to leave for any amenities.

Phase III would see the expan-sion of the total room count to 500. A beauty parlour, physiotherapy rooms, an expanded ski hill, a 40-acre golf course, and a new Olym-pic-sized outside swimming pool for summer were other items on Skoglund’s agenda.

According to the local newspa-pers, Skoglund was even consid-ering installing a drive-in movie theatre that could be viewed from the interior and exterior of the complex.

This visionary transformation

of the Lakelse Hot Springs into a glamorous, self-contained interna-tional attraction was never � nal-ised: before Phase III began, Sk-oglund’s � nancial backers balked, and his overall vision was side-lined.

Ray Skoglund was the sole op-erator of the Lakelse Hotsprings Resort into the later 1960s, when he sold interests in the company to � nance the enormity of his vi-sion for the resort. Following a � re in November 1966 that de-stroyed three of the duplex cabins, the holding company who owned much of the property balked at his plans for further expansion.

Relegated to the position of one director among several, Skoglund continued to provide guidance on the operation of the property, but his advice was not always heeded. “I’ve been trying to convince the holding company people for a long time that we had to cater to the lo-cal people,” Skoglund told the Ter-race Herald in 1968.

Beginning in the early 1970s, the property changed hands several times, � nally falling into disrepair and receivership. Skoglund slowly disengaged himself, and the hot springs fell apart without the guid-ing force of his enthusiasm, hard work, and determination.

In 1978, a � ood completed the long decline, and the resort was closed to the public. In the follow-ing year, the property was turned over to the provincial government by the Canadian-American Loan and Investment Corporation. The Lakelse hot springs property was dormant once again.

This is part two in a three-part series. Kelsey Wiebe is the curator of Heritage Park Museum. More photographs and stories can be found in A History of Lakelse Hot Springs, an exhibit available on-line through heritageparkmuseum.com. The exhibit was assisted greatly by Merilyn McLeod, Alice Gellner, David Skoglund, and Ella Goodlad. Wiebe will be speaking about the History of the Lakelse Hot Springs at UNBC’s Terrace Campus from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. on February 11th.

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

THE gradual signing by northern First Nations to a provincial pro-gram offering millions of dollars tied to the prospect of natural gas pipelines crossing through their tra-ditional territories is a continuation of a broad policy which now stretch-es over several decades.

And that is to slowly – and every-thing involving government action takes place very slowly – establish an economic base by which First Nations can prosper.

With the exception in our area of the Nisga’a who have chosen to develop their economy within the context of their ground-breaking 2000 land and government agree-ment with the provincial and federal governments, other First Nations are choosing to negotiate agreements separate from political or govern-ment to government arrangements.

The � rst of these economic agree-ments concerned forestry as wit-nessed by ones involving the Kit-selas and Kitsumkalum to the point that today, each has a stand alone forestry operation.

Speci� c to natural gas, the pipeline deals signed by the Kitselas First Na-tion several weeks ago broaden the objective of economic development.

However First Nations seek to place themselves within the econo-my of northwestern B.C. the result is stability and the certainty that when businesses consider investment in the region, the pathway is clear.

As First Nations prosper, so will everyone else.

EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, February 4, 2015 Terrace Standard

In the past six months publishers have stacked library shelves with memoirs by anyone

who is or ever was notable in movies – for example Di-ane Keaton and Rita Moreno. Both wrote engaging mem-oirs of their acting, though I recall few details.

Of Keaton’s story I re-member only she adopted two children and wears a hat most of the time to hide her thin hair.

Great actors don’t neces-sarily have the education to be great writers. Some do. And then there are come-dians such as Martin Short, Amy Poehler or Tina Fey who have written comic ma-terial for their TV appear-ances for years.

From them I expect writ-ing worth reading. They don’t always deliver.

I’ve just � nished read-ing Martin Short’s memoir, “I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend.” The book is entertaining until roughly three-quarters of the way through when he seems to think, “Aw, let ‘er rip.” and he proceeds to liberally lard his paragraphs with vulgar language.

This is disconcerting for

two reasons. First, after so many chapters of proper lan-guage, this barrage of blue humour jolts. And second, in a TV interview Short once said, “I won’t hang with a jerk even if he’s funny.”

However he de� nes a jerk, anyone who uses blue language is not company I want to keep in person or in print.

Another reason Short’s memoir unsettled me, he told stories of friends and their bad language during private parties at Short’s home. I had to wonder how his friends might feel being portrayed so crassly in his tell-all book.

While I may be stuffy for

drawing the line at blue hu-mour, I’m not alone.

Carol Burnett and Tim Conway both refuse to use that type of language and both won the Mark Twain Award for Humour. As Jay Leno said, “If I can’t say it in front of my grandmother, I won’t say it at all.”

Gene Wilder, a comic ac-tor, said in an interview he quit acting in movies because he couldn’t � nd a script with clean language. That’s un-fortunate. Wilder’s body language alone could be hi-larious as proven by such movies as “Blazing Saddles” and “The Producers.”

I had to put a hold on Poehler’s memoir, it was so in demand by library pa-trons. When I got a copy in my hand, the format put me off. The book is printed on glazed paper which makes it extremely heavy, and the print is miniscule. It’s not the size of book I can enjoy read-ing last thing before lights out when I like to lie on my back and hold the book over my face.

Add to that the suggestive chapter headings and I didn’t read a word more. I put the book aside to return to the li-brary on my earliest visit.

Lately the New York Times has published op-ed contributions written by movie stars. One op-ed was a personal story by Tom Hanks of the importance of the community college he attended, free, near his home in moulding the successful actor he has become.

Today’s issue carried an op-ed by Angelina Jolie of the plight she’s witnessed among the Syrian refugees.

Both write well and mov-ingly of their topic -- Hanks is funny, yet shows his edu-cated background and ac-quaintance with well known authors’ works. Jolie is heart-felt, serious, aiming to get us off our complacent perches to do more to rescue the Syr-ian children, especially, who have suffered through one military onslaught after an-other.

These op-ed articles have a purpose far beyond laud-ing the authors’ accomplish-ments.

In addition, stringent edit-ing by the New York Times weeds out any hint of inap-propriate language of the kind that too often is need-lessly sprinkled throughout a Hollywood celebrity’s mem-oir.

Did Martin Short really say that?

Going green could very well be profitable, too

Terrace Standard Wednesday, February 4, 2015 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7

T he long, bumpy ride to-ward a global, sustain-able, green economy has begun. Despite the

inevitable squeals and groans of the old order (coal mining, and oil and gas industries), most global powers understand that long-term survival of a technically sophis-ticated, financially integrated, and socially productive society will demand a smooth but rapid transition away from carbon fuels and toward clean alternatives.

How might a municipality such as Terrace usefully and prof-itably participate in this shift? We practice a local economy pretty much in step with the rest of the world. What specific shifts are likely or necessary, and how might we implement them here?

The world currently contains an automotive fleet worth about $20 trillion, and changing over from an oil driven fleet to one that is dominantly electric, hydrogen or fuel cell driven will be a huge challenge.

(Besides, cars are dramatically underutilized assets, extremely

wasteful, because about 95 per cent of the time they’re simply parked somewhere. We need to shrink our fleet without signifi-cantly reducing our transport ef-ficiency, all while changing its energy base, to free capital for other more productive uses. Most Terrace families have between $20,000 and $100,000 invested in this money-losing asset.)

It is very easy to get around European cities using integrated rapid transit and bus systems, and according to Wikipedia, many European nations have a lower density of private vehicles per thousand inhabitants than the United States, for example.

In 2012 about 63 per cent of world electricity generation was powered by coal and gas, both significant greenhouse gas sourc-es. Shifting away from these will be another huge task.

Currently in the USA, build-ings account for nearly 40 per cent of CO2 emissions. Given Terrace winters, the portion is probably higher here. Laudably, carbon footprint standards for

new construction are continually being raised. In Terrace, the po-tential for an expanded, profitable retrofitting industry for current building stock is appealing.

Terrace and its citizens can make improvements in transport, in power generation, and in build-ings’ energy efficiency provided we are willing to make the invest-ments. The question is how?

In a recent interview pod-

cast from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, Reed Hundt, the CEO of the nonprofit Coali-tion for Green Capital argues that banks dedicated to funding green investments could be used to transform the energy sector within little more than a decade. That’s a brave forecast.

His green bank will not make any loan “unless the net present value of the savings is greater than the amount of money invest-ed.” They won’t lose money, and neither should we.

He is critical of the money-losing feed-in tariffs that have characterized Germany’s and On-tario’s green shifts (and huge sub-sidies like those going to run-of-river projects here in BC), even though these shifts have achieved significant success at moving away from fossil fuels.

Given trends (e.g. an 80 per cent drop in the cost of solar pan-els over the past four years) con-sumers will find tremendous in-centive to do building overhauls and change their energy sources

because it will be both cleaner and cheaper.

Today distributed solar gen-eration is about 1% of the market share of energy production. With innovative financing models (for example, Solar City’s leasing out of rooftop solar panels to encour-age their use – BC Hydro could offer this), this share could dou-ble annually.

Terrace and its citizens could profit by moving toward these models. Imagine solar panels charging batteries on street lamp poles.

Imagine three or four wind turbines on the industrial park. Imagine BC Hydro and PNG paying for building retrofits and home solar installations to be paid back through monthly bill-ing (essentially green banking).

Here in the Northwest we con-tinue to struggle with the danger-ous stupidities of oil and gas. We can look to a cleaner, less expen-sive future. Why would we say ‘no’ to cleaner and cheaper?

MUCH IN the news, Justin Bieber’s life is a topsy-turvy affair.

Should Justin return home?Dear Sir:

I see that Justin Bieber is in the news again. The US would desperately love to trade him off for anybody or anything but most of us don’t want him back despite their pleas.

However, if certain condi-tions are met, we might be able to make some sort of trade off.

He should never be allowed

to have bacon and eggs again as he has a tendency to heave the eggs at a neighour’s house.

His Ferrari, Lamborghini and other over-priced chick magnets would have to remain in the US. Only drug dealers, lawyers and televangelists should be allowed to own such toys.

He must put in at least two

appearances on “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” That should slow down his career as long as he doesn’t marry one of them.

He has to stop wearing those deceptive elevator shoes. The world isn’t ready for a five foot, six inch Bieber with a six foot, six inch ego.

Most of all, he must agree

to accept an anatomically cor-rect chastity belt. We cannot tolerate anymore Biebers.

If the above conditions are met and we accept him back, maybe than we could continue our normally tolerable rela-tions with our southern neigh-bour.

Dear Sir:In his Jan. 21, 2015 letter “Anglers could

suffer from overregulation, ” Dennis Therrien complains about new and proposed angling rules.

Most of us wish that we could go back to no angling closures, few restrictions and generous limits that permitted taking fish home for dinner year round. Unfortunately, because of much im-proved fishing gear, easier access using jet boats and fourwheelers, easy internet information on how and where and most importantly, because there are too many anglers chasing too few fish, we need regulations if angling is to have a future.

In our area resource development is expected to increase dramatically with new power lines, pipelines, mining, logging, construction camps and connecting roads. We need to be proactive with regulations to prepare for the future.

Sometimes it seems that fish closures are un-fair, especially when they are imposed without documenting exact fish populations. Determin-ing fish numbers and expected returns is costly and difficult because of the many changing vari-ables. A scientist erring on the side of caution is a much better choice than allowing over fishing. East coast anglers argued for the right to fish cod and look what happened there.

Dennis mentions the two new proposals be-ing discussed in angling circles. The first, don’t lift your fish out of the water has merit. Com-mon sense tells you that holding a large fish out of water is stressful, hard on internal organs and decreases fish survival.

The second, limit your catch – that is catch and release two fish and go home, is a difficult concept to accept.

Why You Need Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More...

Vitamin C is arguably the sin-

gle most important water soluble anti-oxidant in the hu-man body. Antioxi-dants play a key role in protecting cells against free radicals,

which can cause damage and play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

It’s tragic that researchers are unaware that high doses of vitamin C and lysine cannot only prevent, but reverse athero-sclerosis in coronary and other arteries in the body. Vitamin C is needed for the manufacture of collagen, the glue that holds cells together. A lack of vitamin C means poor collagen, resulting in cracks appearing between coronary cells thus setting the stage for fatal blood clot.

Recently, Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, made this monumental dis-covery. He took photos of the retinal arteries and then gave patients 6,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 5,000 of lysine (lysine adds strength to coronary arteries just like steel rods increase the strength of concrete). A year later he re-peated the pictures. To his surprise, he found atherosclerosis fading away.

Millions of North Americans also suffer from osteoarthritis. Without sufficient vitamin C to produce collagen, a major component of cartilage, bone eventually grinds on bone. There would be fewer joint replacements if more vitamin C were available to produce healthy colla-gen.

Rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory type, also requires large doses of vitamin C. Every moment of the day our bodies are using oxygen to keep us alive. But oxi-dation results in metabolic ash, known as “free radicals”, which are believed to trig-ger an inflammatory reaction in joints. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce damaging free-radicals.

Patients often appear surprised when I tell them that vitamin C will help them keep their teeth a lifetime. By age 65 one in five North Americans has lost all their teeth and many of their teeth were nor-mal. Rather, it was the gums that could no longer hold teeth firmly in place in part due to inadequate amounts of vita-min C. This vitamin is needed in large amounts to produce healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together and keeps gums healthy. Without good mor-tar bricks fall apart and the same happens when gums lacking collagen lose their grip on teeth.

The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections but several other bene-fits have been ascribed to the molecule, including favourable effects on blood pressure and stroke prevention but also a positive influence on mood and anxiety.

In addition to providing healthy collagen production and a healthy cardiovascular system, vitamin C and lysine supplemen-tation helps support:

• Immune system health • Vision • Teeth and gums • Wound healing • Bones and cartilage • Recovery from shingles • Recovery from herpes outbreaks

This is why I’ve been taking high doses of vitamin C and lysine for the last 16 years following a heart attack. I believe it saved my life. Medi-C Plus™, containing high doses of vitamin C and lysine, is available in powder and capsules.

However if practised it would more fair-ly share the resource between the expert and the novice, and encourage better fishers to try more challenging techniques to increase fish-ing time. Also fewer fish hooked results in less chance for accidental mortality.

Dennis states that both of these ideas would be difficult to enforce. That is true but all of the regulations in the synopsis are dif-ficult to enforce because there are too few officers. Besides, most anglers obey the rules whether enforced or not.

I agree with Dennis when he identifies Jim Culp and Rob Brown as the old guard. These two gentlemen have done more for fish and anglers than anyone I know.

They both have working relationships with all three levels of government, native bands, forest companies and other resource developers and they receive the respect they deserve from these groups.

By lobbying and attending countless meetings over 40 years they have played an important part in all matters concerning fish including: guide management, riparian pro-tection, access roads, boat launches, culverts, hatcheries, pollution, pipelines, hydro lines, fish enhancement, the gill net fishery, mining, ATV use, and on and on.

Recognized as dedicated by the commu-nity they receive many requests for them to do something about an environmental wrong-doing.

Dennis, your idea about a catch and re-lease video is a good one but don’t ask Rob or Jim to do it. Take the project on and become the new guard.

THE PROSPECT of lower natural gas pric-es for residential and commercial users in the northwest inched closer last week with the takeover of a failed small liquefied natural gas (LNG) project at Kitimat.

AltaGas Ltd. of Cal-gary announced it has assembled a consortium which now controls the proposed Douglas Channel LNG proj-ect which had been in bankruptcy protection after its original owners ran out of money sev-eral years ago.

That project would liquefy natural gas on a barge for export us-ing gas supplied by the existing Pacific North-ern Gas (PNG) pipeline which serves the north-west.

PNG is owned by AltaGas and is that company’s key portion of the revived Douglas Channel project.

The PNG line at one time supplied gas to two pulp mills, one at Prince Rupert and one at Kiti-mat, and a methanol plant at Kitimat, all of which have since been closed and dismantled.

The result has been higher delivery costs for PNG’s northwest resi-dential and commer-cial customers because

those large industries had paid a majority of the costs of maintaining the line.

But should Douglas Channel LNG proceed, delivery payments to PNG will ease those higher residential and commercial customer costs.

“The project pro-vides natural gas pro-ducers in Western Canada a new market for their products,” said AltaGas president Da-vid Harris in a Jan. 28 release.

“PNG customers who live and work in northwestern B.C. can expect to benefit from lower natural gas rates.”

PNG now charges northwest residential customers a natural gas delivery rate of $11.867 a gigajoule, just over three times more than what its Fort St. John customers pay for deliv-ery, $3.64 a gigajoule.

PNG is a delivery utility and is not per-mitted to add on extra charges to the gas it purchases for its cus-tomers.

Northwestern resi-dential customers also pay a higher basic monthly charge, $10.75 compared to $7 in Fort St. John.

The new Douglas Channel LNG owners

say a final investment decision is expected by the end of this year and if that decision is reached, a two-year construction and prepa-ration period will fol-low leading to exports beginning in 2018.

The plan is to export 550,000 tonnes a year of LNG, making the project on the smaller end of the production scale with other poten-tial LNG developers in the region planning for projects of in excess of 10 million tonnes a year.

With a projected start date of 2018, based on a final investment deci-sion this year, Douglas Channel LNG stands to be the first LNG export facility in B.C.

Its cost is projected to be $600 million, $100 million of which would come from Alta-Gas.

In addition to Alta-Gas, the Douglas Chan-nel LNG consortium includes Japanese en-ergy marketer Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. with one-third ownership, along with EDF Trad-

ing Ltd., a subsidiary and wholesale market operator of Electric-ite de France S.A., and Belgium-based lique-fied natural gas shipper EXMAR NV.

The project’s land-based facilities would be built on land owned by the Haisla Nation and Douglas Channel LNG now has long term land and water leases with the Haisla, said Harris.

The Haisla had been partners with the pre-vious incarnation of Douglas Channel LNG.

A KITIMAT woman mur-dered in her home in 2011 was described as a nurturing mother and a soulmate in a statement read by her hus-band in supreme court here last week.

Speaking in an emotional voice, Gualter Rego said his wife, Maria Rego, was a re-spectful daughter, kind aunt, niece, cousin, co-worker, mentor, cherished friend and proud grandmother.

“We were excited for what the future had in store,” he said.

“Our future plans, dreams and hopes came to an abrupt end when Mr. Eli broke into our home in October 2011 and he viciously attacked us as we slept defenselessly in our bed.”

Rego’s Jan. 29 statement

was a key portion of a two-day sentencing hearing for Tyler Scott Eli who was 19 when he was arrested for Maria Rego’s death shortly after the Regos were at-tacked around 7 a.m. Oct. 9, 2011 in their Whitesail resi-dence.

Eli had been found guilty of second degree murder and other offences last No-vember by Mr. Justice Rob-ert Punnett following a trial which took place in Terrace court last year.

“He mercilessly took the life of my wife and left me near death with the reality of waking up to a nightmare that forever changed my life and the life of others,” Rego said, adding that Eli’s ac-tions were “incomprehensi-ble, inexcusable and sense-less.”

“Since that day, I must

live with the images in my memory of a nightmare that no one can ever wake up [from] and forget as one lives his day,” he said.

“I pray he’s held account-able for the horrific crime he committed and pray God is able to enter his heart so he can acknowledge the extent of his actions,” continued Rego who was also injured in the attack.

On Jan. 30, defence law-yer Donna Turko said Eli would like to apologize to the court.

He went to the witness stand after Punnett suggest-ed he would be better heard with the microphone.

After standing for a bit, Eli sat down to continue, speaking softly, sometimes to the point he couldn’t be heard, and pausing several times.

“First, I’d like to apolo-gize to (the Regos). I’d like to apologize to the family who lost a loved one, to my own family for having to watch a son go through the court system.

“I’d like to apologize to the court, society ... I just truly am sorry to everyone,” he said.

“Now there’s nothing that can truly repay what was lost,” he continued. “If there’s any other way I can ever right this wrong, I promise to try and work on that.”

Crown lawyers Claire Ducluzeau and Rita Kis gave their sentence submission of concurrent life sentences for all three charges for which Eli had been found guilty.

Life in jail was the maxi-mum allowed sentence for second-degree murder,

leaving the question of how much time there should be until he is eligible for parole, which they suggested should be 15 years.

The minimum period of ineligibility is 10 years and the maximum is 25 years for second degree murder, court heard.

Mr. Justice Punnett in-dicated he would reserve sentencing to another day, sending the file to the judi-cial case manager to set the next date.

Eli, was initially charged with second degree murder, aggravated assault and break and enter into a dwelling house to commit an indict-able offence. A charge of attempted murder was later added.

Eli was found guilty of second degree murder, at-tempted murder and the

break and enter. The charge of aggravated assault was stayed by the court.

Both the Regos were taken to hospital in Kitimat where Maria Rego died from her injuries and Gualter Rego had surgery.

Rego has since moved to Terrace but said he is re-minded of what he has lost daily when he drives to work in Kitimat.

“I’m grateful to God and all the support of family, friends, the medical team and community. Without them, I would not be stand-ing in front of you,” he said in his statement.

The defence’s argument was that Eli was in a de-lirium caused by alcohol or drug consumption but all the evidence shows he was not in a delirium, said Punnett in his decision.

BC FAMILY DAY -

FEB. 9, 2015Why is BC Family Day unique to B.C.?

In 2012, we asked British Columbians when Family Day should fall in February. Following the largest consultation of its kind, British Columbians cast more than 31,000 votes, with the majority saying their preference was for B.C. to have its own unique day on the second Monday in February.

New hydro line dates setBC HYDRO has set ei-ther next year or 2017 as the start date of construction for a new transmission line be-tween Terrace and Kiti-mat.

The 287kv line will replace an older 287kv now considered at the end of its operational life.

“The line we are go-ing to be putting in will be able to carry much higher capacity than the existing one even though it is the same voltage, because it will have bigger conductors on it,” said BC Hydro official Robert Smith who was in the area recently to provide up-dated information on the project estimated to cost $115 million.

“We are going to

have fewer structures and so greater spans,” said Smith of the new 287 kv line.

“The old line was made with wooden poles which had the unfortunate tendency to catch fire,” said Smith, adding that the steel poles on the new line will be more durable.

A preliminary map of the right-of-way for the new line shows it running along the west side of the Kitimat Val-ley for 50 kilometres, which is 10 kilometres shorter than the current line on the east side of the valley.

Built in the 1970s, the current line will be decommissioned once the new one goes into service.

Based on the start of

construction, BC Hydro wants the new one up and running in either 2018 or 2019.

BC Hydro at one time had been contem-plating the construc-tion of two 287kv lines between Terrace and Kitimat but shelved that

project when propo-nents of planned lique-fied natural gas plants at Kitimat said they’d be generating the large ma-jority of the power they need by themselves.

One project at Kiti-mat, LNG Canada, which is majority-owned by Shell, did say it would need more power from BC Hydro and it is that request which accelerate plan-ning for the replace-ment line, said Smith.

And should more de-mand surface for more LNG-related power, Smith said BC Hydro would contemplate a second line.

With BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmis-sion Line now com-plete, contractors can now anticipate more

work from the provin-cial crown corporation.

Smith said environ-mental, geo-engineer-ing and archaeological work will begin this year, leading toward the construction start dates of either 2016 or 2017.

He said there will be no reclamation work on the old right-of-way.

“Usually we just let nature takes its course. It can be quite expen-sive to replant on a right-of-way.”

BC Hydro’s cost cal-culations have placed an upper ceiling of $165 million on the hydro project with a lower possible cost of $100 million.

Smith said talks with First Nations who have territory along the line route are ongoing.

News In Brief

WITH PRINCE George voting by referen-dum last year to stop adding fluoride to the municipal drinking supply, local Terrace resi-dent Barry Prince decided to request again that Terrace council join him in forming a pe-tition to end the fluoridation of Terrace water.

Prince made his pitch at the Jan. 26 coun-cil meeting, repeating a presentation made in 2013 when he was told a referendum would need to be held.

“A common sense person would say, fluoride is classified as a poison… it doesn’t leave our body, it has a cumulative effect,” Prince said in outlining the many reasons why adding the compound to protect teeth isn’t worth it.

“I don’t ask you to listen to me I ask you to do some deep research into what profession-als are saying about fluoride in water,” Prince told council, in including links to studies in a submitted document.

Terrace is now only one of three remain-ing municipalities in B.C. practising fluori-dation including Prince Rupert and Fort St. John.

Stop flouride use,city council urged

TERRACE MAYOR Carol Leclerc has released her list of appointments of city council members to various external and internal groups and com-mittees.

This year the city decided to do away with the model of naming specific alternates for each committee except for the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine meetings.

Leclerc still has to appoint one more councillor to rep-resent the city on its housing committee and the community forest profit distribution com-mittee, both of which require two permanent representatives.

And here are the appoint-ments.

Strategic CommitteesMichael Prevost was named

to the Kermodei Tourism So-ciety. James Cordeiro and Stacy Tyers are liaisons to the Kitimat-Stikine regional dis-trict while Michael Prevost and Lynne Christiansen are the alternates. Leclerc named her-self to the Terrace Community Foundation, Brian Downie to the Terrace Economic Devel-opment Authority (TEDA), and James Cordeiro to the Ter-race Public Library committee.

Community Liaisons

Brian Downie was ap-pointed to the Greater Terrace Beautification Society, James Cordeiro to the Greater Terrace Seniors’ Advisory Committee, Michael Prevost to the Kalum Land Resource Management Plan Implementation Commit-tee, Lynne Christiansen to the Riverboat Days Committee, and Sean Bujtas to both the Skeena Diversity Society and the Terrace Downtown Im-provement Area (TDIA).

Department Liaisons

Carol Leclerc will be the liaison for administration, Michael Prevost to develop-

ment services, Brian Downie to finance, Lynne Christiansen to the Fire Department, Sta-cey Tyers to Leisure Services, Sean Bujtas to Public Works, and James Cordeiro to the RCMP.

Annual Liaisons

Lynne Christiansen was ap-pointed to the committee for the Terrace Community Forest Corporation profit distribution, Michael Prevost to educational services, Brian Downie to the Northern Medical Programs Trust, and Sean Bujtas to the Terrace-Kitimat Airport Soci-ety,

Here’s what they’re doing

A BUILDING report issued by the city shows that 2014 was a banner year for residential construction in Terrace compared to 2013 and past years.

There were permits for 29 new single family dwellings worth $6,911,875 as well as 7 new secondary suites worth $329,200 through November of 2014. Thirteen new commercial buildings were constructed worth $16,429,000.

The total value of construction through November was $17,588,120 in 2013 com-pared to $30,768,905 in 2014. The 10-year average is $15,211,378.

AREA HUNTERS say they are going to keep the provincial gov-ernment in their sights until it backs down on planned changes to the way big-game hunting per-mits are issued.

That was the main message from BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF) director Alan Martin at the Terrace Rod and Gun Club here during an informational meeting on the new regulations, � rst announced in December and set to be legislated in the coming months.

The changes, affecting the hunt of moose, grizzly bears, big horn sheep and other restricted animals, would increase the per-centage of permits allocated to guide out� tters and their out-of-province clients and decrease the amount of permits allocated to resident hunters.

Resident hunters would still receive a higher percentage of the draw – depending on the re-gion and the animal, anywhere from 60 to 80 per cent.

But resident hunters are say-ing it is the highest percent-age allocated to guide out� tters anywhere in North America and the BCWF has been leading the charge against the changes by organizing petitions, rallies, and town hall sessions like the one here Jan. 18 across the province.

For Mike Langegger, the ar-ea’s BCWF representative who organized the session at the Ter-race Rod and Gun Club and an earlier session in Kitimat, the shift in allocation is an insult to resident hunters.

“It’s viewed as taking a com-mon property, a wildlife re-source, and moving towards privatization of a portion of that wildlife,” said Langegger. “Our hunting season brings family and

friends together, it’s a high value socially, it’s really the fostering and nurturing of friendship and family bonds through our hunt-ing opportunities which will now be less. It’s also a key thing as a means of providing healthy or-ganic food.”

That point was echoed by Chris Schooner, from the Terrace Rod and Gun Club, who said he doesn’t hunt himself but is concerned for families who rely on hunting for sustenance. In his opinion, there is more to be gained economically by support-ing local, resident hunters, than the guide out� tting industry.

The Guide Out� tter Associa-tion of B.C. (GOABC) has chal-lenged a number of the BCWF’s points, saying in a release Jan. 23 that the guide out� tting industry is a major contributor to rural economies, bringing in “high value” tourists, with the average guided client spending $27,000

on their hunting expedition, and that the new allocation policy makes B.C.’s resident hunter to guided out� tter split comparable to neighbouring jurisdictions.

GOABC also notes that the split mainly applies to limited entry hunt (LEH) areas, and that there are many general open sea-son (GOS) hunting opportunities around the province.

But Langegger says that when you take away LEH opportuni-ties from resident hunters around the province, it forces resident hunters to travel sometimes long distances to get to a GOS area away from their local area and that those GOS areas could po-tentially become overcrowded and over utilized, leading to more restrictions.

“A good example of that is we’ve had a GOS season in Skeena North, which is up in the Dease Lake, Stikine, Klap-pan area and that was typically an eight-week season, and that’s now been shortened down to four weeks and there’s some rum-blings about high resident hunter use and that possibly going into limited entry in the future,” he said.

Earlier this month, energy and mines minister Bill Ben-nett, Kootenay MLA, indicated that the government had made a mistake with the changes and that they needed to review the decision. However, hunting al-locations actually fall under for-estry minister Steve Thomson’s portfolio, and in an interview on CBC Radio’s Early Edition Jan. 22 Thomson stood by the chang-es in general, saying that he be-lieved the new splits were fair and balanced. He did note that some speci� c feedback received on changes to sheep season in re-gion 4 – Kootenay – was being reviewed.

A SOUTHSIDE resi-dent who has been com-plaining for years about noise from an adjacent industrial yard used by shipping companies on the corner of Feeney and South Kalum was back at city council last week arguing that measures the company has taken to curb sound have fallen short.

In response to Ed Carreiro’s complaints about noise and light late at night and into the early morning hours, the shipping company TransForce said it has made some adjust-ments.

“Our response is we have done a number of things, we have changed the angles of the lights, we’ve put baffles in to create a sound barrier, and the amount of ve-hicles going through has gone down,” said company official Rick Leckner.

He added that anoth-er company, Bandstra, is also working out of the yard now, so Car-reiro should complain to them too.

Carreiro told coun-cil Jan. 26 that the city should enforce its noise bylaw, despite the fact that shipping compa-nies have been at the lo-cation for years before the city brought in its noise bylaw.

TransForce, which closed its Canadian Freightways subsidiary at the location last year but which continues to operates its Loomis subsidiary from that location, was “grand-fathered in” when noise bylaws were put in place and thus does not have to follow the par-ticular rules.

City staffers told council that the noise bylaw will be up for re-view soon and will have rules governing areas where residential and other zones meet such as this one.

They also said the matter is finding a bal-ance so that transporta-tion workers have the light they need to work at night.

“TransForce and Loomis are corporate bullies being aided by Mr. Block,” said Car-

reiro about his dealings with the TransForce subsidiary and city de-velopment services di-rector David Block.

Carreiro says the ad-justments the company has made – including adding strips of plastic to the fence and fixing the floodlight – haven’t helped. He and his wife still endure interrupted sleep on a regular ba-sis during the overnight hours.

“TransForce needs to be held accountable and council has to have the guts to enforce their own bylaws,” said Car-reiro.

“I think it should be looked at seriously be-cause these people per-severe year after year and put up with it. It’s ridiculous,” said coun-cillor Lynne Christian-sen following Carreiro’s presentation.

Mayor Carol Leclerc said Walmart had to make adjustments to its original lighting when it moved into town.

And councillor Sta-cey Tyers suggested that a floodlight being used be erected on a separate poll facing away from the affected residences.

But Leckner said his company has done all it plans to do in response to the complaint.

“We are zoned cor-rectly and are not break-ing any laws ... He chose to live next to an industrial zone, so we can’t help [that],” said Leckner of Carreiro.

Leckner added that he feels sorry for Car-reiro but that the com-pany has done all it is willing to.

Carreiro came to council in 2013 with a petition signed by 39 residents, however his one immediate neigh-bour, Adam Koepke, says noise and light has never been a problem for him.

The 1985 noise by-law provides for a max-imum of $2,000 fine per incident for noise viola-tion.

“‘Noise’ is sound including any loud out-cry, amplified voice or music, noise created by an animal, clamour, shouting, or that created by construction activity or motors or equipment which disturbs or tends

to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of the neighbourhood in which the sound is re-ceived or of persons in the vicinity of the area in which the sound is received,” reads the by-law.

A noise bylaw up-grade is one of a series of city moves to update a number of its govern-ing bylaws.

The comment calls for an “open season” on First Nations and says “the only good indian is a dead indian.” This is not the first time a state-ment of this nature was posted, and blocked, to the newspaper’s website from the same account.

“As you can imag-ine, a statement like this on social media garners a lot of attention and we have had numerous re-ports,” said Cst. Angela Rabut of the Terrace RCMP detachment, speaking last Wednes-day.

She said the detach-ment at that time had received about half a dozen reports on the comment – some through other detach-ments, like the Surrey office, which fielded a report from a person in Saskatchewan.

“Social media really shrinks the world,” she said.

The comment “is so low it deserves no re-sponse,” Rabut added, but instead it has spread and bred more negativ-ity “like a bad virus.”

Rabut last week would not confirm if po-lice had spoken with the poster, pointing to the active investigation, but did say a fair amount of staff time was being spent following up on the online comments.

“Anything to do with social media usually takes up a fair amount of time because there’s lots of comments made, people make comments very easily online and we do need to follow up,” Rabut said.

More than 150 peo-ple have commented on a separate Boake com-ment posted publicly to his own Facebook page, with many constituting the screenshot comment from Jan. 27 was a hate crime.

“In reading those comments it could be construed as a hate crime,” said Rabut of the original posting. “But as the investiga-tion unfolds we’ll make those decisions.

“Our number one priority is public safety, so that’s the biggest thing we’re going to be looking at here, to ensure that the public is safe, and then going from there,” she said.

Once the police are finished, the file will go to crown counsel, whose job it is to decide

whether or not to place charges.

Terrace mayor Carol Leclerc, Kitimat-Sti-kine regional district chair Stacey Tyers and Kitimat mayor Phil

Germuth issued a state-ment Friday on the situ-ation, which reads, “We would like to emphasize our belief that racism has no place in our so-ciety, including online.”

“Our communi-ties are diverse and we value the important and mutually respectful re-lationship we have with First Nations. The vast majority of citizens are

respectful and inclusive of others, but unfortu-nately incidents still occur. We absolutely do not condone hurt-ful conduct, whether it is based on race or any

other form of discrimi-nation,” it adds.

Skeena-Bulkley MP Nathan Cullen has also spoken out against the comment, posting to his social media chan-

nels Jan. 30, “As dis-turbing and vile as the initial comment was, I am proud to see our re-gional leaders step up to denounce these old, rac-ist attitudes.”

“WAS THE war hard, or really easy?” Gracie Stewart asks June Menzies, a Second World War veteran who now lives in Terrace.

June, a Member of the Order of Canada, enlisted in 1943 at the age of 18. She was trained to translate captured Japanese docu-ments, to � y planes, and to become a sharp-shooter.

Gracie is interviewing June as part of the Historical Detectives program, a partnership between Heritage Park Museum and Ksan Place.

Historical Detectives is a free after-school program in January and February intended to engage children in historical research about the First World War’s and the Second World War’s impact on Terrace.

School-age children follow the lives of soldiers and home front workers with a connection to Terrace by digging into war records, oral histories, maps, newspaper ar-ticles, and interviews.

Each child creates a poster and a short � lm about their chosen individual.

In lucky cases, children get to interview veterans, as in June and Gracie’s case.

In this instance, children learn directly about the war through conversations with living veterans, allowing them unparalleled insight and understanding.

June, for example, explains to Gracie that, while she was stationed in Camp Ritchie, in Maryland, she listened to German prisoners of war sing.

“I began to wonder and think about the enemy—what we called the enemy—and to realize that they loved their countries just as much as I loved mine, and when their coun-try called them to war, they went, just as I and my brothers and sisters went,” she tells Gracie, who hasn’t yet learned very much about the Second World War at school.

“We longed for peace; we longed for love; we longed for friendship, as did the others. Our mothers wept; their mothers wept. There’s not much difference.”

When June tells Gracie about the life-long friendships she made with women she trained with, Gracie asks, “Like a bond?”

When June agrees, Gracie responds, “That must be a strong bond. I have a strong

bond with my best friend.” Through the interview process, Gra-

cie learns not only about the war, but also about the similarities between herself and an 89-year-old veteran from Saskatchewan.

Gracie is working to assemble this mate-rial into a poster about June and women in the war.

Eventually, she’ll also make a short � lm talking about what she learned, which will teach her to splice audio clips, photographs, and video footage into a video meant to edu-cate the public about what it was to serve as a woman in the Canadian Army during the Second World War.

Other children are researching great-grandparents who served in the Second

World War, grandfathers who were in the navy, and Bill McRae, a Terrace veteran who was recently given a medal from France for his participation in the liberation of Nor-mandy.

Bill showed this medal to Diamond Hill’s class, and impressed her greatly. For her, the choice of who to pro� le was simple: she wanted to interview her hero, Bill McRae.

The Historical Detectives program is in-tended to teach children about world history by exploring local people and events.

It allows children to read and think about historical records, and to understand the re-sources that exist in our community.

It lets them practice and develop their in-terviewing, writing, presentation, and criti-

cal thinking skills. Overall, it’s hoped through this program

and others, to encourage children to become engaged, creative members of their com-munity. They will have a good understand-ing of the diversity of local history and, by extension, an inclusive sense of community identity.

Answering Gracie’s question about whether or not the war was hard or easy, June says, “For me, I would say both, but it was very exciting, and there was always something new happening. It was an expe-rience that lives with you, just as you were saying: you bond with people. Well, it was that kind of an experience. The good went with the bad.”

Students are ‘historical detectives’

THE PATH to realizing a lifelong dream of becoming a doctor has been made a little smoother for an 18-year-old Terrace student in her second year at UBC Okana-gan.

Kaisha Woods, 18, is one of the hundreds of Aboriginal students who received the 2014 Irving K. Barber Aboriginal Student Award.

With the $3,500 scholarship in hand, Woods says she is able to re-ally enjoy school this year and has time to take care of herself while balancing a heavy course load.

“I’m so thankful that I received the scholarship,” says Woods.

“I wouldn’t be living as com-

fortably without it.” Established in 2008, the BC

Aboriginal Student Award is avail-able for Aboriginal people pursu-ing post-secondary education and is intended to improve access to education for Aboriginal students.

After graduating high school in 2013, Woods was keen to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor.

At age � ve, she watched dedi-cated nurses and doctors care for her aunt as she succumbed to can-cer.

The passion and care demon-strated by the healthcare providers has stuck with Woods; she knew

then that she wanted to become a doctor to help others.

Woods grew up in Terrace sur-rounded by a loving and supportive community.

Her desire to go to UBC was tempered by concern about mov-ing to a big city away from her friends and family.

With her grandparents already in Kelowna, UBC Okanagan was the natural choice – but Woods still misses home now and then.

“I do miss having so many peo-ple around me that I know, and I miss knowing where everything is,” says Woods.

Although transitioning from life

in Terrace to student life in Kelow-na is dif� cult at times, Woods says that staying balanced helps.

“I study a lot but I also have the kind of friends that like to do ran-dom fun things like go bowling or go out for dinner,” says Woods.

“It wouldn’t be as easy to do that without the scholarship.”

She is also enjoying the re-sources available to her in Kelow-na through UBC Okanagan.

The Pre-Med Club hosts regu-lar events including talks by guest doctors and local hikes, and the Aboriginal Centre offers a friendly place to visit and share a meal.

Thanks in part to the Aboriginal Student Award, Woods has found a good group of friends, a bal-anced self-care routine and some extracurricular activities to ease the pain of the distance from her community.

Once she finishes her program at UBC Okana-gan, Woods will be applying to medical school ei-ther at UBC or McGill University in Montreal.

This year, the Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship Society has granted a total of $917,500 to a record 310 Aboriginal students in B.C. to sup-port their studies at post-secondary colleges and universities throughout the province.

Help Wanted

Ronald Merl Buller February 8, 1946 - December 2, 2014 Ron passed away peace-

fully after a 5 year battle with prostate cancer. He will be for-ever lovingly remembered by his wife of 43 years Heather, daughter Bhari (John), son Don-ovan (Jamie), grandchildren Jacob, Joseph, Jack, Jamie and so many treasured family and friends. Ron grew up on the Buller farm in Terrace, BC where alongside his sister El-nor and 3 brothers Ken (Erika), Lionel (Suzanne) and Les, learned many valuable life lessons...

Ron loved life and was extremely bright, learning to fix farm equipment at a young age. He transferred these valuable skills to his life where he worked as a heavy duty mechanic and was able to fix anything from trucks to computers. Ron worked at Westshore Terminals as a mechanic then maintenance foreman for 35 years. Here he started the Kids Social Christ-mas Party in 1977 and the adult Social Christmas Party the following year and made some lifelong friends that he truly treasured.

Ron made friends wherever he went and kept them for a lifetime. He was very generous – helping out a friend or family member with anything from a meal to place to stay, to fixing something for them.

He will be greatly missed by all those lives he touched throughout the years. A Celebration of Ron’s life will be held on Saturday, August 8, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at Valley View Funeral Home, 14660 72 Avenue, Surrey, BC.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or in true Ron Buller fashion – help a friend.

SUNDAY'S “A” final at the Prince Rupert Curling Club's RONA Mixed Bonspiel featured a little retribution from a consis-tent Terrace squad.

Maurice Bulleid exacted some revenge during his win on Sunday over Travis Ber-nhardt's rink dating back to last year when his rink was also in the final but lost in the same bonspiel.

“This is actually my first event win here [in Prince Rupert] ever so I'm pretty happy. I've been in a lot of the finals – the Marine and the Mixed,” said Bulleid after his 12-6 match win.

Bulleid's rink, consisting of Janice Julseth, Wayne Julseth and Lisa Bulleid captured five points in the eighth end to fend off Bernhardt's attempted comeback.

They defeated Maher Terminals and Team Fugere to reach the semi-finals in which they then took down Team Scott.

“[The team]'s been great all weekend. We just kept it going – kept rocks in the house, put pressure on the other team and we just got better until [the end of the fi-nals],” said Maurice.

“We've played [Bernhardt's] rink lots.

They come to Terrace and play in the Le-gion and the Loggers [bonspiels].”

Bernhardt toppled Team Peacock, Team LaFrance, Team Eisenhauer and Team Yamamoto to reach the “A” final.

Team RONA, led by Natasha Lebedick defeated Doug Mullin's rink 10-7 to earn

the “B” championship. In the “C” final, Team Petterson toppled Team Anders 9-3 and in the “D” event, Brian Fugere's rink won 9-3 over Bob Bernhardt's squad.

The 60th annual Legion bonspiel was in Terrace last weekend. Look for those results next week.

TERRACE SKATING Club (TSC) sent a strong group of figure skaters to Quesnel for the Cariboo North Central Regional Championships January 24-25.

Terrace’s 12 figure skaters, who ranged from six to 17 years of age, brought home 13 medals in total. Brianne Monsen – 2 gold and 1 bronze; Emma DeCario – 1 gold; Maya Lecuyer – 1 silver and 2 bronze; Camryn Monsen – 1 silver and 1 bronze; Teysean Henry – 1 silver; Makayla Forrest – 1 silver; Kaeyanna Mackenzie – 1 silver; Cricket Elliot – 1 silver; Jesse Thandi – 1 bronze; Kaytlin Gingles – top 4; Tristen Morgan – top 5, Kally Mackenzie – top 8.

February will be a busy month with the club’s only Special Olympic Skater, Laura Dale heading to Kamloops for Provincial Championships. This is her first time at this level of competition.

TSC is looking forward to the North-west Jamboree, a fun competition in Ter-race Feb. 28 and March 1. Admission is free for the community with events running from around 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on each day.

A few skaters will then travel to Kelow-na at the beginning of March for the Super Series Final Competition which includes skaters from around the province.

And to end the regular skating season off with a bang, the TSC is hosting an Ice Show on Thursday, March 12 with the theme “Back to the ‘80s”. The show will include special effect lighting and full costumes. Skaters from three years of age and older will be included.

Decades ago now, Dave Wiffen decided to refurbish the decay-ing shack built by the Depart-ment of Fisheries and Oceans

that stood on the bank overlooking the section of the upper Lakelse River known to fishers as The Flats. To accomplish this task, Dave dragged his tools and lumber over the snow by sled.

I began checking on Dave’s progress regularly over the winter, without knowing who was doing the building. I’m sure we were the only people on the river that win-ter, and should have crossed paths, yet, sur-prisingly, we never did. It was only when Finlay mentioned that his son-in-law was fixing up the shack, that I learned Dave was responsible.

Dave did an excellent job, turning the sagging shack into a comfortable cabin complete with a couple of bunk beds and window. Soon after the work was done, I came by to inspect Dave’s handiwork. He had a table in the centre of the building. A notebook was on it. Dave, or possibly his wife, Mary, had penned a short welcome note on the cover that encouraged people to make use of the cabin, and leave it as they found it. I opened the book. It had only one entry at that point, a note from a fellow who wrote that he was prompted to return to the Lakelse River by fond remem-brances of the fishing he’d had during the time he was working on the crew that built the rail spur from Terrace to Kitimat.

You can’t imagine the number of trout

back then, he wrote. When I read this I

was puzzled. The trout fishing I’d been having seemed excellent to me. Were the cutthroat and char actually even more abundant when the track was being laid? I found the claim hard to accept then. Now I believe it probably was the case, and that, with a few fluctuations, the trout populations have been in steady decline for a number of years.

When I read the railwayman’s note, the Thunderbird section of the watershed hadn’t been logged. With a foundation of marine clay, the whole area should never have seen a saw. The effect of the timber extraction was to destabilize Mink Creek and the myriad small creeks feeding it. The importance of those small streams to cutthroat trout is well known. The defoliation of those vital arteries and subsequent siltation, must have had a del-eterious effect on Lakelse cutthroat.

Long before Thunderbird was wrecked, the lower river was savaged by Columbia Cellulose. Gene Llewellyn and John Hipp told me of the rough and tumble way that the Old Lakelse Main was built with al-

most no regard for the fisheries values in the many ecologically im-portant creeks that feed the Lakelse River from the South. White Creek was heavily utilized by cutthroat. Coldwater Creek is another impor-tant tributary that should have remained in its pristine state. Similarly, it’s hard to imagine that the logging in the Wil-liams Creek drainage and the damage done to Skully Creek didn’t have some effect of the sea run cutthroat population.

The foreshore habi-tat on Lakelse Lake, the littoral zone, is critical

to all fish. As a result of the development of lakeshore property by those who prefer lawns and sandy beaches over marshland, large chunks of rich habitat has disap-peared.

On the east side of the lake, the hot springs development compromised a vast tract of vital fish habitat.

Habitat loss is not the only obstacle fac-ing the cutthroat of the Lakelse watershed. At a recent conference held under the aus-pices of the BC Lakes Stewardship Society and co-hosted by the Lakelse Watershed Stewards Society, Dr. Daniel Selbie, an

eminent limnologist working for the De-partment of Fisheries, gave a fascinating, if troubling, talk on the effect of water qual-ity on food webs and ecological relation-ships in lakes.

Somehow I’d acquired the idea that acid rain was not a serious threat in the acidic rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Selbie disabused me of this misguided no-tion. According to him, the science shows that our area is highly sensitive to acid de-position, the same eerie phenomenon that ruined so many streams on the East coast.

If you stand at the lookout atop Kalum Hill and gaze out over the valley on a clear day, you can see the airborne effluent from Kitimat drifting north then west down the Lakelse River Valley. This has been going on for 60 years with government permis-sion.

Given that the fish populations are a public resource, are irreplaceable (and therefore invaluable), you would think that the possible negative effects of this killer smog on fish would receive intensive study and on-going monitoring. It hasn’t.

Now the self serving, corporate wor-shipping toadies in our provincial govern-ment have given Rio Tinto Alcan permis-sion to increase the amount of killer smog in our air shed, not caring apparently for the effect of this on human health, and probably completely ignorant of the long term effect these airborne toxins have had on our fish populations, notably the vulner-able Lakesle River cutthroat trout.

SNOW VALLEY Nordic Ski Club is gliding closer to purchasing a new groomer after asking the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine board for grant money at the board's January meeting.

The club has been fundraising since the 2011/2012 season and is asking the board for $17,500, said club president Dan McElheron.

The current grooming machine has more than 10,000 hours on it and its resale value is $15,000 and when sold, that money will also be put to-ward the new groomer.

Snow Valley decided to buy a Bombardier 350 Snow Cat, which is designed for our coastal snow loads, has extra power needed to remove the snow and is the same as the groomer used at Shames Moun-tain, he said. Right now, the machine is being leased by Lake Louise Ski Resort in Alberta and when the lease runs out, Snow Valley is planning to buy it. The lease says that it can't have more than 3,400 hours on it, which is roughly a third of its life.

Snow Valley has agreed to pur-chase it for $294,000 and that in-cludes everything. And the Bom-bardier will be able to handle the “boiler plate” heavy snow and ice we get whereas the current machine has trouble with it, said McElheron.

Boiler plate snow is when the snow thaws and turns to ice and be-comes like a boiler plate, or a skat-ing rink, which is hard to ski on,

explained McElheron. The current balance the club has for the groomer is $176,576 and there is still an out-standing grant request for $15,000.

If necessary, the club would be willing to borrow up to $40,000, which it had done before to build an addition to the lodge for the winter games and then paid if off a year early.

Telegraph Creek director Dave Brocklebank asked when the offer to purchase the machine would expire. McElheron said that would happen if the club didn't meet the terms by De-cember. The club has put a $20,000 deposit down and $5,000 of that is non-refundable as of February.

“..and we're prepared to risk that if need be,” McElheron said. “We're confident we can make this happen.”

The finance committee asked the directors of the four areas involved – Kitimat, Terrace, Thonrhill and Ter-race rural area – for any discussion as to whether to give the money to Snow Valley, and, after Terrace city councillor James Cordeiro, who is also a regional district director, left due to conflict of interest, the vote was to give the grant money to the cross-country ski club.

The $17,500 that Snow Valley is asking for is divided up among the four rural areas that are involved and rounded up estimates for each, according to regional district trea-surer Verna Wickie, are as follows: Kitimat, $9,214; Terrace, $5,092; Thornhill, $1,230; Terrace rural area, $1,963.

THE TERRACE Bantam Reps continue to punch above their weight with a tournament win at the Prince George Tier 1 and Tier 2 bantam rep tourna-ment.

Held Jan. 16 - 18, the Tier 3 team played up a tier and launched a series of comebacks throughout the tournament until winning a decisive sixth and final game against Fort St. John.

Their first game, against Williams Lake saw Ter-race down 2-0 early in the first but come back to win 3-2.

Their second game again saw them down 2-0

against the hometeam Prince George tier 2, but came back to win.

The third game against Vanderhoof, which has locally been the team’s best competition, ended in a 3-3 tie – and again, the team was down 2-0 early in the game.

The most intense game of the tournament was against Fort St. John, lots of back and forth. And the team played a rough game against Salmon Arm, which ended in a tie.

The final game, the team came out ready to play, beating Fort St. John 6-1 to win the championship.


To win in the marketplace, you must first win in the workplace.

Question of the WeekThe Canadian auto season kicked off in Montreal and the Vancouver show starts March 24. Do you plan to visit the show? If so, are you looking to buy? Or just to see what’s new?

Safety Tip:Potholes can be a hazard during cold and wet weather

months. For all types of winter hazards, remember two key tips: reduce your speed and increase your following distance. The more time you have to react to any hazard the better.

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

Concepts in Quebec: Canadian auto show season gets underwayMontreal, Quebec – Le Salon Interna-tional de l’Auto de Montreal heralds the opening of the Canadian auto show season, right on the heels of the “Big One “in Motor City (aka Detroit).This year, yours truly attended the pre-views for both auto extravaganzas and found optimism abounds in the industry, north and south of the border.As reported last week from Michigan, the Daddy of all Auto Shows showed a lot of high-end cars and new full size trucks. Montreal has a regional flavour with more exhibits that reflect that market’s taste for smaller cars. The latter clearly influenced the decision to unveil the new subcompact Mazda2 here; a select group got the opportunity to get up close and personal with the machine in an artist’s gallery across town. The next day, the all-new CX-3, updated Mazda6 and CX-5 joined it on the show stand. The new Mazda2 was coloured in what I call show-off red and showed off its so-called KODO – Soul of Motion – design style to its best. I first saw this handsome style, which gives the impression that the vehicle is moving even when stationary, at the Mazda6 launch in Paris a few years ago. Translating it into a smaller car is not just a matter of shrinking the original but requires great design skill and clearly, Mazda has that in abundance.In Canada, a 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine will power the Mazda2, and a choice of two transmissions will be available – a six-speed manual and a six-speed

auto. Prices will be fixed closer to launch, later this year, but expect it to be compa-rable to the current model and come in below $15,000.While there were plenty of econo cars on show, like Detroit, other than the Mazda2 there was nothing new to see in that range. Green cars were in evidence in Montreal but when the shows reach the west, you can expect to see many more cars for the eco-conscious drivers.

Four concept cars did turn heads…

Cadillac ElmirajYou won’t see one on the road but the long two-door grand coupe concept will influence the near-future design of the next line of Cadillacs. The Elmiraj features a 4.5-litre twin turbocharged V8 deliv-ering an estimated 500 hp. The engine takes the baseline technology from the Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 and expands it to

the classic performance format of a V8 engine.

Hyundai IntradoThe same can be said of the thinking behind the Hyundai Intrado, which is a concept crossover designed to foreshadow a change design direction for the Korean manufacturer. It looks a little bit like an oversized Juke, the quirky Nissan product loved and hated seemingly in equal measure. The Intrado seems a bit more lovable and passersby indicated a similar looking production would in find favour among many.

The concept features a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain linked to a 36 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that Hyund-ai boasts will provide a range of 600 kilometres. By the way, British Columbians will soon be able to lease a Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, with a similar power-train and a reported range of 425 kms.

Subaru VIZIV2The Subaru concept crossover utility hybrid shown is a four-door version of a previously revealed two-door. Get this: Subaru says its “athletic, rugged shape of the sides seem designed in the image of a muscular NHL defenceman, and the fenders flare in a sturdy style.” Ahem.Looks like it came out of the Nissan/Infiniti design studios, and that’s not a criticism.

Toyota FT1Toyota was all about the roar of the engines in Montre-al, which certainly pleased the gathered Quebec auto journos, who to a man/woman always appear to be race crazy to me (Given the market reality in Quebec, that doesn’t appear to be reflected in car buyer choices). Nevertheless, most would surely enjoy the sleek lines of the Toyota FT-1, designed to be at home on the track and a heck of a ticket magnet on the highway. Up next is the Toronto Show, which takes the name The Canadian International Auto Show. Bite your lip, Morgan. The Calgary show follows, then the new-look, re-imagined Vancouver International Auto Show debuts March 24-29.

When one manufacturer comes out with a vehicle, you can be sure that the other manu-facturers will match the equipment and price, almost to the dollar with their own products.There are exceptions to every rule and the Acura RDX is one of those exceptions. The value that this entry-level premium SUV of-fers is so good, it is hard to find a vehicle that can compete on price, features and overall ease of use. Based on the hot-selling Honda CR-V, Acura takes what is good about that vehicle and transforms it into an Acura, full of luxury touches, more power and refinement that makes it the best value in the hyper competitive compact luxury SUV space.Looks With every great deal there is usually one area that lets down the overall package and in the case of the RDX it is exterior styling. The Acura grille is less intrusive than the previous model but it might be rather bland.

Wheel sizes are kept to 18-inches, even the optional sport wheels are only 18-inches. The rest of the RDX is inoffensive but not striking either. The size and shape is perfect for most buyers looking for a compact SUV, with large easy to use doors. The RDX is sold in only two trim levels; the base is $41,390, almost dollar-for-dollar the same starting price as all other small luxury SUVs. It is the optional Tech package that makes this a steal. Fully loaded, the RDX Tech is just $3000 more at $44,390. InsideAcura takes the CR-V’s selling points like a roomy cabin, flat rear floor, automatic folding rear seats and pumps up the features. The dash is nicely arranged with much higher trim and finish on the dash, doors and armrests. Standard features include heated leather seats, power moon roof, push button start and a multi angle rearview camera. The Tech package adds an 8-inch centre screen with voice activated navigation, a power tailgate, duel climate control and an upgraded stereo

system, for just $3000 more. Try and find these features in one of the competitive German of Japanese vehicles for just over $44,000. It doesn’t exist. Acura and Honda are moving towards a two-screen centre console, the RDX is still sold with a single screen and this makes the operation much simpler. The new systems are eye catching but simplicity over flash has a place. DriveWith manufacturers racing to include smaller turbocharged engines with eight and nine speed automatics, the RDX is still sold with a trusty 3.5L V6 and a proven 6-speed auto-matic. Take notice, this might not be the case with the next model so buying this simpler RDX might be a good buy. The 273hp engine is very quick off the line; it cruises with ease and passes without hesitation. In real world highway and city driving the RDX returned 13L/100km just slightly worse than the 12L used in the CR-V. All wheel drive (AWD) comes standard on all models but it is a

simpler system than the previous model. The suspension is less aggressive than the past model too. This has all been done to produce a ride that will appeal to a wide range of buyers. In everyday driving, the laid-back approach is welcome but the powerful engine always makes the commute fun.VerdictSome good news, the rumour mill is grinding out potential new updates for the 2016 model year including a refreshed front end and interior tweaks. Stay tuned. As it stands, the RDX is a bargain in the small luxury SUV space but this Acura model almost needs an edge because the brand doesn’t have the same badge-appeal as the German makers and even Lexus. This RDX competes in the luxury space but many potential buyers don’t perceive Acura to be true luxury, more premium than luxury. This is the same battle Lincoln is facing. If you are in the market for a fantastic, very well equipped small SUV with plenty of luxury touches then the RDX should

be on your list. Get past the badge-appeal and find out for yourself what this vehicle has to offer. [email protected] LowdownPower: 3.5L V6 with 273hpFill-up: 12.1L/8.7L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $$41,390-$44,390
