Red Chris receives pond permitBy JOSH MASSEY

A MINING company in the middle of re-sponding to recommendations about how to make its tailings pond more secure has now started using the pond to test its milling ma-chinery.

Amid controversy surrounding the Mount Polley mine dam failure report released two weeks ago, mine owner Imperial Metals re-ceived a waste water discharge permit for its Red Chris gold and copper project located northeast of Terrace.

“Red Chris has received an interim ap-proval to operate the TSF (Tailings Storage Facility) in order to test the mill but not to go into production,” said a statement from the Ministry of Energy and Mines.

The permit is effective from February through May, after which Red Chris “will have to apply to the Chief Inspector [of Mines] for approval and will have to show that the TSF has performed as designed.”

Initial operations of the mine, which was scheduled to go into service last year, were on hold as the company financed a third par-

ty review of the tailings facility using a com-pany chosen by the Tahltan Central Council which acts as the governing voice on Tahltan traditional territory.

The review, released in October 2014, was part of a joint management agreement signed between the Tahltan Central Council and Imperial Metals in August 2014 follow-ing the Mount Polley disaster which spilled 25 million cubic metres of toxic tailings fluid into Quesnel Lake in the Cariboo area.

The independent review noted that gla-cial till and sand underneath the proposed

Red Chris tailings facility was a concern and that the foundation soils were “a major de-sign issue.”

“This valley is underlain by over 90m of permeable glacial fluvial sands and gravels with interlayers of at least one glacial till unit,” said the Red Chris tailings review.

An investigation into the Mount Polley tailings facility failure released two weeks ago indicated that loose glacial till was a central reason for the breaking of that dam.

Grant requestsprompt debateBy JOSH MASSEY

CITY COUNCILLORS are wrestling with decisions about whether certain groups should qualify for grants this year provided directly from the city and from subsidiary Terrace Community Forest.

After reviewing a list of requests, councillors now want more detailed budget information from groups.

“I kind of feel like I’m only getting half the information,” said councillor James Cordeiro at a recent council session.

Other issues include whether grant applications from profit-generating businesses should quality and another question is the eligibility of groups that typically receive money from provincial programs.

One example cited by councillor is the Skeena Valley Golf and Country Club which is asking for $23,000 for new stoves and oven for its restaurant and carpet.

Despite city administrators cutting that requested amount to $10,000 for inclusion on a list to be considered by coun-cil, councillor Stacey Tyers saw this as supporting a money-generating business which she thinks shouldn’t qualify.

“No other not-for-profit could come to this council and ask for money for those kinds of things and have us be OK with it,” said Tyers. “I don’t believe anyone could. I don’t think the Legion could come and ask for the kitchen up-grade. If so, I will tell them to come next year and ask for it.”

“I’m inclined to agree,” said Cordeiro, adding that the $30,000 tax exemption the golf club, which is in Thornhill, receives from the regional district is already a significant boost.

But councillor Brian Downie argued that the club’s re-quest shouldn’t be considered a subsidy to a business in the normal sense because the club offers community charity event opportunities and struggles to make ends meet in the wet climate.

Tyers said that supporting a specific charity event at the golf club made sense but that she didn’t think buying the club a stove was appropriate.

Tyers also questioned the Kalum Community School So-ciety’s request for $10,000.

Roses for the Ladies

By ANNA KILLEN

NO, TERRACE isn’t getting a new radio station.

But if you happened to be scrolling through the FM dial during certain hours two weekends ago, you might have thought that we were.

That’s because radio aficio-nado and former Terrace DJ Larry Bishop was testing out a new audio system – and giving his friends one last broadcast.

“Just a guy trying to say goodbye to Terrace in a polite way,” said Bishop, reached by phone last week.

After cycling through stints at Coast Mountain Wireless, Bell Media and CFNR in Ter-race since 2013, he is looking for a new job that may take him elsewhere.

“I didn’t expect hardly any-body to pick the station up. It was kind of a joke for my friends ... people driving by in their cars would pick me up for a little bit and then I’d fade out,” he said.

The two test broadcasts – one, called MoJo FM and play-ing pop like Drake and Miley Cyrus, and the other, called Ice FM, a mix of comedy sketches and country – played intermit-tently on 107.1 over the week-end through a very low power transmitter from Bishop’s

home studio.The broadcast didn’t fall

under the ‘pirate radio’ catego-ry because pirate radio stations are willingly breaking the law, he said, and he was careful to follow Canadian broadcasting rules and not interfere with the existing radio stations. That’s why his station was only available over a few block

radius around his downtown Terrace home. “If it was any more powerful or it was more consistent, then it would be il-legal,” he said, noting that the several decades he has spent in media, the majority of that in Ontario, has given him experi-ence with the complicated web of broadcast rules.

Reaction to the test stations

was positive, he said, with many people calling in to ask him what was going on. Bish-op announced his phone num-ber over the air so people could call in and he received emails as well.

“People were freaking out,” he said, adding it showed him there is an appetite for “Hot AC (adult contemporary)” music.

But “that being said, there’s no one who really wants to put any investment in it, take a chance on a new radio station – and you’re going after the big dogs,” he continued.

While Bishop said the broadcast was “just a one weekend thing” that allowed him to showcase his best stuff, have fun, and put his dream radio station on the air, if he could find investors, he would love to manage a station.

He also said he spoke with the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommu-nications Commission, the government body in charge of regulating radio, television, cell phone and Internet servic-es in Canada) who indicated it would license a new station in Terrace or Kitimat.

But Bishop cautioned even “if all was full steam ahead it could take a while to get a licence as the process is not easy.”

Did you hear Larry FM?

TERRACE RCMP report a woman received multiple phone calls from an unknown num-ber. She eventually spoke with a man who had an accent and wanted the PC code from her computer.

The woman doesn’t own a computer, said police, and the man uttered a threat as the conversation turned nasty. Police talked about safety measures with the woman.

THE COMPANY that would build the natu-ral gas pipeline to a planned liquefied natu-ral gas (LNG) plant at Prince Rupert is still working on a final cost after lengthening the route.

First estimated at approximately 730 ki-lometres, the Prince Rupert Gas Transmis-sion project is now to be 900 kilometres long, connecting gas fields in northeastern B.C. via a single 48-inch diam-eter pipe to the Pacific NorthWest LNG proj-

ect on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert.

For now builder TransCanada is sticking to the $5 billion target figure set out in 2013 when the route was to be 730 kilometres.

“We have not ar-rived at a final cost for the project – beyond the original $5 billion esti-mate - as we continue to make small adjust-ments based on ongoing discussions with stake-holders,” said Trans-Canada official Garry Bridgewater.

Some of the route

changes, making the pipeline longer, came fairly early on the in the planning when the company opted to avoid nature conservancies east and north of Prince Rupert.

One of those areas, the Khutzeymateen, contains a grizzly bear sanctuary.

As a result, the pipe-line will now be laid un-derwater beginning at Nass Bay on the north coast before turning south to surface on Lelu Island.

Malaysian company

Petronas, the major-ity owner of the Pacific NorthWest LNG proj-ect, said pipeline con-struction costs were a factor when it decided late last year to delay a decision on proceeding or not proceeding.

Bridgewater said it would be incorrect to assume that underwater construction would nec-essarily add to construc-tion costs.

“There are many fac-tors to consider when laying pipe – terrain, access, etc. We are con-tinuing to refine our es-

timate of costs prior to the final investment de-cision by our customer. We won’t know how final costs will play out until we conclude dis-cussions with aborigi-nal groups and the vari-ous stakeholders along the route,” he said.

The company also chose a route on the north side of the Kispi-ox Valley in the Hazel-tons after its first choice, a route on the southside of the valley, was op-posed by residents.

Both TransCanada and the provincial gov-

ernment have signed agreements with the Nisga’a Lisims Gov-ernment providing cash and other benefits to al-low the pipeline to cross through Nisga’a Lands.

One of the provi-sions of the agreement between TransCanada and the Nisga’a is an option for the Nisga’a to take gas from the pipeline should their plans for a LNG plant solidify.

That supply option has not affected the project’s costs, said Bridgewater.

PIPELINE BUILDER TransCanada continues to work through the 32 conditions it needs to meet to gain the full provincial go ahead for a natural gas pipeline to feed a planned liq-uefied natural gas plant at Kitimat, one of its vice presidents told a Kitimat-Stikine region-al district session here Jan. 30.

The Coastal GasLink line, to be 48 inches in diameter to provide gas for the planned LNG Canada plant at Kitimat, was approved by the province late last year but first needs to meet conditions as specific as employee behaviour, Bruce Wells said.

“The 32 conditions hold our feet to the fire,” he said.

Clearing work along the 415-mile route from northeastern B.C. to Kitimat has not started and won’t start until the customer, LNG Canada, first receives its own en-vironmental approval and then decides if the project will go ahead.

When it comes to employee behaviour, Wells said workers on construction camps will be subject to a one-strike rule when it comes to narcot-ics, meaning if they are caught with drugs, they’ll be fired.

Workers can drink but if their behaviour gets out of hand, causes fights, or involves ha-rassment, they’re fired, he added.

It may sound harsh

but the people who come to these work camps don’t want to be hassled and want a stable, safe place to be, said Wells.

Other work ongoing includes negotiations with the Kitselas First Nations for a benefits agreement, Wells add-ed.

Telegraph Creek director Dave Brock-lebank did ask what would be done with trees that were removed during clearing, citing the burning of usable trees that happened on the Northwest Trans-mission Line.

Wells said trees that can be salvaged will be salvaged unless it would cause environ-mental damage.

He added that every kilometre of the route would be assessed for

what to do with trees.Terrace rural area

director Jessica McCal-lum-Miller asked about earthquake training for workers since the pipe-line would be next to a fault line.

Wells said the only place where that was found to be a potential problem was closer to Prince George and that in our area, the fault lines were very deep and not in need of miti-gation.

In general, the pipe-line is resilient and mal-leable to an earthquake, he added.

Field work planned for this year takes in finding locations of ma-terial that would be use-ful for construction and planned water crossing locations to ensure the correct crossing meth-ods are to be used.

BRUCE WELLS, right, and Jaimie Harding from TransCanada provided an update on the Coastal GasLink pipeline project to the Kiti-mat-Stikine regional district recently.

The mines min-istry says it is satis-fied with the actions taken by Imperial Metals at Red Chris to mitigate the dan-ger noted in the third party review and has granted the company a temporary efflu-ent discharge permit so it can begin test-ing the mine’s mill which will process ore.

“Red Chris and their consultants have done extensive review of their sub-surface hydrogeol-ogy and have made adjustments as per third party review recommendations,” said the ministry statement.

According to ministry official Da-vid Haslam, “this additional work has resulted in a better understanding of the local and regional hydrogeology, how-ever the basic con-ceptual model did not fundamentally change.”

The tests being done between Feb-ruary and May are related to the mill which will crush up the rock in order to extract the copper and gold. The effec-tiveness of the tail-ings facility will also be monitored at this time, said the min-istry.

The October 2014 Red Chris re-view also noted that a failure of the Red Chris tailing im-poundment would be more severe than the Mount Polley spill because of the acid-generating na-ture of the rocks.

Tahltan Central Council president Chad Day acknowl-edged the work.

“Although our nation still has some questions about the Red Chris mine, we also know that the mine is almost ready to open,” said Day in a statement.

“No permanent permits will be au-thorized until we have confirmation that all measures required to protect Tahltan interests and the environment are in place,” he added.

Hot waterThe world-class potential of the hot springs site at Lakelse Lake has never been realized

By KELSEY WIEBE

“You’ll be able to go from the dead of winter to the tropics just by

walking in the door,” Bert Orleans promised residents of Terrace and Kitimat in 1987. Orleans began his tenure at the Lakelse hot springs with a sense of grandiosity, much like Ray Skoglund had, decades before.

When Orleans purchased the hot springs property from the pro-vincial government in 1985, the site had sat dormant for nearly a decade while debate about its fu-ture raged. Northwest residents as-serted a constant—and familiar—concern that the hot springs should be developed as a regional rather than an international resource.

Anthony Brummet, the Min-ister of Lands, Parks, and Hous-ing, called for tenders to sell the hot springs property in late 1984. There had been only tepid interest in developing the property up to that point, and the provincial gov-ernment refused to attach condi-tions guaranteeing local access, as lobbied by regional groups.

Developers instead would have to meet local standards of gov-ernance, and would also have to “structure the development in such a way to ensure the support and patronage of the local residents.” This, Brummet implied, would occur strategically rather than through restrictions during the point of sale.

Orleans, a tugboat company owner-operator from Kitimat, was the highest bidder of � ve interest-ed parties. The B.C. government at the time noted that Orleans “was the person we selected as being the most quali� ed and committed to carry out the project.”

In the � rst phase of develop-ment, Orleans built a warm swim-ming pool with a diving area, a

large hot tub, three waterslides, two children’s waterslides, and a children’s swimming pool, com-plete with a UFO-style children’s waterpark from Expo ’86. An ozone water treatment system was imported from Germany.

The restaurant was cutting edge for the 1980s, and the cafeteria windows provided a view of the hot tub and pool. The Johnstone Dining Room featured � ne din-ing, and the Rooftop Gardens were available for conferences, wed-dings, and private bookings. The licensed Splashdown Lounge over-looked the pools and water slides.

The grand opening of Mt. Layton Hot Springs Resort was celebrated on Feb. 27, 1988. The completion of the � rst phase was lauded by dignitaries including former owner Lloyd Johnstone, MLA Dave Parker, cabinet minis-ter Bill Reid, and Kitimat Mayor Ray Brady.

Orleans installed three water-slides, each standing 60 feet high. One, a freefall-style waterslide, was christened the Cannonball. After a 1987 group visit from a Christian school, the newspaper noted that “one girl was seen giv-ing thanks after having come safe-ly down the Cannonball run.” The waterslides were popular with chil-dren and youth, and the lineup was out the door on '2-for-1 Wednes-days'.

The planned second phase of development included an 18-hole golf course, a 100- to 300-room high-end hotel, an indoor-outdoor swimming pool, an island getaway, and a therapeutic clinic. Orleans intended to create what the Ter-race Review called a “playground for the elite,” complete with a he-licopter on standby to take guests heli-skiing. Orleans planned a re-sort hotel centred around the main hot springs pool, which would be

enclosed in a dome of glass and surrounded by a tropical garden.

In the late 1980s, Orleans ap-plied for the right to expand onto 153 hectares of crown land in order to implement his second-phase plans, which included a golf course and resort hotel. The Re-gional District of Kitimat-Stikine and many Lakelse Lake residents were concerned about drainage from the golf course into the lake. Following a drawn-out debate with the Ministry of Crown Lands and local government and residents, Orleans was only granted the right to purchase 180 acres. He insist-ed, throughout, that his intentions were good: “If I destroy the envi-ronment,” he said in 1987, “I de-stroy my own investment.”

One of the more fantastic plans for Mt. Layton Hot Springs in-volved the construction of an is-land on Lakelse Lake. In 1991, Or-leans told the local media that he was planning to develop a ‘theme village’ on an island that would be created through canal work ad-jacent to the original hot springs canal constructed by Skoglund. He intended to add private cabins and meeting rooms, and would market his secluded retreat concept to cor-porate groups of up to 60 people.

Orleans poured the founda-tion for his second-phase hotel complex in the early 1990s, but cautioned he was closely monitor-ing economic and tourism trends. “When indicators say the project is a go,” the Terrace Review quoted Orleans in 1991, “everything will be in place and the building will go up relatively quickly.”

By 1991, Orleans had spent $5 million developing the Lakelse hot springs into Mt. Layton Hot Springs Resort. He planned to spend another $10 million over the next 10 years.

But an economic downturn co-

incided with Orleans’ planned con-struction on phase two. A planned Kitimat Alcan smelter expansion was halted. Forestry, the region’s largest employer at the time, was hit by a slump in American hous-ing; in the late 1990s, mills closed, and resource workers moved away. With the economy � oundering, Orleans hit the pause button on expansion. While he continued to operate the swimming pools and hotel rooms constructed in his � rst phase, the second phase was stalled inde� nitely.

The region has only begun to bounce back economically in the last few years. The hotel rooms, lounge, and cafeteria at the hot springs remain open, but the min-eral waters that drew young and old are barred to the public, much as residents feared would come to pass when the Skoglund Hot Springs shuttered in the 1970s.

Elsewhere on the property, Or-leans grows hibiscus in a green-house. Flowers and vegetables, nourished by the minerals and warmth of the hot springs water, grow generously, much as they were said to do in the meadow near the Johnstones’ original lodge.

Plastic is tacked to the window frames of half-built buildings. Re-bar juts out of the cement foun-dation built around the main hot springs pool. The tiles surround-ing the drained swimming pools are chipped and moldy. The resort has generally fallen into disrepair, much to the chagrin of the hopeful public.

Today, in letters to the editor, in municipal and regional govern-ment discussions, and in public and online forums, residents of northwestern British Columbia express disgust, anger, and con-cern that the world-class potential of the hot springs has never been realized.

This anxiety, coupled with a concern that any development will shut out local residents, has re-curred with every phase of the hot springs development, highlighting an uncertainty about the north-west’s role within the nation, an insularism common to small, rural communities, and equal measures of distrust and hope about develop-ment.

The history of the hotsprings at Lakelse encompasses Bruce Johnstone’s log cabin spa, Ray Sk-oglund’s not quite ful� lled ambi-tions, and Bert Orleans’ half-built water wonderland. Perhaps, given that millions of dollars, decades, and dreams have failed to attract the international attention long anticipated, the hot springs are simply not well-positioned to sup-port large-scale development. The populations here are small; travel to the area is expensive and time-consuming; and there are many more centrally located hot springs resorts better able to attract jet-set-ting international tourists.

Across the highway, explora-tion of the area’s geothermal po-tential has been underway for over a year. Perhaps the glamorous suc-cess envisioned by each developer will be found in resource develop-ment, rather than in recreational facilities.

This is the � nal instalment 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 online through heri-tageparkmuseum.com. The exhibit was assisted greatly by Merilyn McLeod, Alice Gellner, David Sk-oglund, and Ella Goodlad. Wiebe will be speaking about the History of the Lakelse hot springs at UN-BC’s Terrace campus from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. today, February 11th.

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

THE proposal by the area’s two Ro-tary clubs to build a children’s splash park at George Little Park may have inadvertently opened up a wider de-bate about recreation facilities and opportunities within Terrace.

The Rotary proposal is quite clear – the construction of a splash park will add to the amenities at George Little Park and broaden its use for those who live in the area and use the park for recreation. Not everyone, notes Terrace Rotary Club president Kelly Gingles, has access to Lakelse Lake or surrounding places to enjoy summer water sports.

Equally true is that George Little Park is becoming crowded. In ad-dition to the performance stage and audience area, there is an existing children’s playground and, behind the library, a collection of seniors’ exercise equipment.

Just up the hill is the city’s sportsplex and beside it, a skateboard park, the Christy park soccer � elds and playgrounds at three schools.

Contrast that to the southside where there is a small play area next to the ball� elds on Kerr, a small play area at the Elks ball� eld and the Cassie Hall playground.

The case could be made that the Southside is underserviced given the number of people who live there when combined with Keith Ave./Hwy16 acting as a barrier between the Southside and the rest of the city.

In considering the Rotary pro-posal, city council will have to think carefully about a recreation balance.

On April 18, 2009 Dane Spurrell, an 18-year-old, was walking along

Topsail Road in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland about mid-night on his way home from the video store when a po-lice of� cer stopped him for walking in the roadway.

The autistic teen pointed out the street has no side-walks. Deciding the teen was high on drugs, the of� cer arrested him for public in-toxication and obstructing a police of� cer. He was jailed. Police offered him a chance to phone a lawyer but refused his repeated requests for per-mission to phone his mother.

At 5 a.m. his frantic mother phoned 911 to report her son missing.

Subsequently the police chief visited Dane’s home to apologize. Police eventu-ally gave the family a � nan-cial settlement. Nonetheless, the mother � led a complaint with the police commission. A trial followed with 20 witnesses and lawyers rep-resenting the police. Dane’s mother defended herself.

Only now, years after the hearing into her complaint began, the adjudicator has concluded the teen was ar-

rested without suf� cient cause. The adjudicator also cited failure of the two ar-resting of� cers to follow four rules of police protocol.

All this could have been avoided had the teen been carrying an I.D. card such as Yvonne Nielsen advocates for people with permanent disabilities.

Nielsen’s I.D. card would identify any physical dis-abilities a person might have that mimic drunkenness or being high on drugs.

Disabilities such as au-tism, stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, impair-ment of balance, speech, or memory, acquired traumatic

brain injury, or spinal cord injury., The card would make clear to police, � rst respond-ers, and public transportation the card carrier was physical-ly disabled, not intoxicated or high.

Nielson’s request for this I.D. card has the support of current and previous Terrace city councils, the � re chief on behalf of � rst responders, and the RCMP. Thoughtful, understanding people can see the card’s bene� t though they themselves do not suffer from a permanent disability that might impair their qual-ity of life.

Yet the B.C. Disability Al-liance who supposedly speak for the disabled is opposed to any I.D. card. They cite their worries over which criteria would determine eligibility for the cards; what the pur-pose of the cards would be (Nielsen has clearly made that known); and that the cards might become manda-tory in the future. (Oddly, opponents of the I.D. card substitute “mandatory” whenever they hear “volun-tary”.)

The B.C. Disability Alli-ance goes so far as to specu-late peer pressure could force someone who didn’t want to

carry such an I.D. card to do so. Baloney. Have they met any permanently disabled? In my limited experience, they can be extremely asser-tive, even stubborn. They do only what they want to do.

B.C. Disability Alliance also objects to disclosing a person’s private medical con-dition to the world.

But what of the Medic Alert bracelet? That, too, discloses a person’s private medical condition to the world but they voluntarily do so for the sake of their safety. True, the I.D. card would not be primarily lifesaving, but the principle is the same -- either way disclosing a med-ical condition is voluntary, not mandatory.

And while the Medic Alert bracelet may save a life once or twice, the I.D. card would improve quality of life daily.

If Spurrell had been car-rying an I.D. card identify-ing him as autistic the police would not have arrested him, his family would not have agonized all night about his whereabouts, and there would have been no trial or police complaints investi-gation wasting dollars that could build sidewalks.

Disability cards do have their place

Terrace Standard Wednesday, February 11, 2015 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7

In Canada and around the world, terrorism is a threat to peace and security. Over the past decade, thousands

of people have been killed in ter-ror attacks.

As Canadians, we take great pride in living in one of the safest countries in the world – and in the freedoms that form the bedrock of our society.

Whether the terrible assault on Charlie Hebdo in Paris or the attack on Canada’s Parlia-ment in Ottawa and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, recent events in Canada and on the world stage have put concerns about terror-ism back into the public debate in a way we haven’t seen since the days following the September 11 attacks in the United States.

For its part, the federal gov-ernment has tabled Bill C-51, an omnibus bill that will change the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) from a civilian body into an arm of law enforce-ment, and give Canada’s national security agencies sweeping new powers to counter “would-be ji-

hadists” – including the power to override privacy laws and take pre-emptive actions against sus-pected criminals.

The new bill is being offered as an effort to bring Canada’s laws up to speed with powers al-ready existing in countries like the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand. And some of these new powers speak to the realities that law enforcement agencies face in today’s digital age.

While no one would object to the goals of the legislation – keeping Canadians safe – there are concerns about the bill, and the extent of the Conservative government’s commitment to en-suring that this new law doesn’t lead to abuse.

For example, it was with some alarm I learned that the govern-ment’s own lawyers remain un-sure whether the bill respects our Charter of Rights and Freedoms – the most sacred guide that we as parliamentarians have for writ-ing laws.

Civil liberties organizations are worried that the bill will

threaten our freedom of speech. Others have expressed concerns that the new powers for arrest, de-tention and surveillance could be abused or turned against groups which have nothing to do with terrorism at all.

Government agencies have already been found spying on environmental groups and First Nations in British Columbia who are critical of the Enbridge

Northern Gateway pipeline. This legislation includes no safeguards against that kind of misuse.

I remain concerned that the bill will make it easier for gov-ernment agencies to spy on Ca-nadians and share personal infor-mation that was once protected. Indeed, Canadians deserve com-mitments that they won’t have their emails and social media spied on by the government.

But what promises do we have? As it stands currently, the Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC) oversees CSIS and is meant to be an in-dependent body, but has been stuffed with patronage appoint-ments by the Harper government.

One Harper appointee, Arthur Porter, is now sitting in a Pana-manian jail cell awaiting extradi-tion on fraud charges in Quebec.

Another is former Conser-vative MP Chuck Strahl, who resigned from SIRC last year amidst a conflict-of-interest con-troversy as he is also a lobbyist for Enbridge.

Protecting public safety does

not have to endanger civil liber-ties. But one of the keys to ensur-ing this balance is through real and independent public oversight. That’s also why, since 2013, the NDP has been advocating for an all-party committee – not just a five-person inner circle of the prime minister’s friends – to oversee the work of our security intelligence agencies.

The United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand – our declared models for Bill C-51 – all have legisla-tive oversight in the form of all-party committees, and they play a crucial role for ensuring account-ability and preventing abuse in their national security agencies.

In light of proposed enhanced powers to protect our safety, it’s essential now more than ever that we have enhanced oversight to protect our rights and freedoms as well.

NATHAN CULLEN

By ALLAN LEVINE

WAY, way back in the spring of 1976 when I was pre-paring for a trek

through Europe, I sewed a small Canadian red maple leaf flag on the top of my backpack like every other student of my gen-eration. Because the last thing I wanted on my travels was to be mistaken for an American.

Canadians might not be as pa-triotic as Americans. Yet on certain occasions, whether it is traipsing through Europe, cheering on Ca-nadian athletes during the Olym-pics or honouring the military, we really do “stand on guard for thee” and take great pride in the coun-try’s distinctive flag.

Fifty years ago, on Feb. 15, 1965, it was a slightly different story when then prime minister Lester Pearson presided over the official raising of the new maple leaf flag at a ceremony in Ottawa, replacing the Red Ensign that had been the country’s semi-official flag for decades. Most Canadians welcomed the new design. But it was also (incorrectly) regarded especially by John Diefenbaker, the Progressive Conservative leader of the Opposition, and many veterans as a rejection of Canada’s British roots.

Even before Pearson headed a minority Liberal government fol-lowing the election of 1963, he had supported a new flag. Later, faced with growing Quebec na-

tionalism and anticipating the centennial of Confederation in 1967, he firmly believed the time had come for the country to have a flag of its own. Pearson was as pro-British as any English-speaking politician of that era; in his thinking, he was simply advancing the country’s national interests in a real and symbolic way.

Pearson gave the job of re-searching a new flag to Ontario MP John Matheson, a lawyer with knowledge of heraldry. By the spring of 1964, Matheson with advice from Pearson and help from Alan Beddoe, an artist and veteran, had settled on a new Canadian flag with two blue ver-tical bars — symbolizing Cana-da’s motto of “from sea to sea” — and three red maple leaves in the middle. Pearson was delight-ed with it, though his opponents mocked the design as the “Pear-son pennant.”

Winnipeg played a starring role in the ensuing flag debate. On May 17, 1964, Pearson was in the city to speak at the Royal Canadian Legion’s national con-vention being held at the old Capitol Theatre. And many of the veterans, who cherished the Red Ensign, were not in a gracious mood after Pearson unveiled his choice for a new flag.

More than six months of ac-rimonious debate ensued. Finally in mid-September 1964, Pearson obtained Diefenbaker’s support for a parliamentary committee

to study the flag further. The all-party committee, headed by Matheson, was given six weeks to come up with an acceptable compromise. In the meantime, ordinary Canadians took up the challenge of creating a new flag and more than 3,500 designs were submitted with Union Jacks, fleur-de-lis, and beavers, among many other icons and symbols.

Matheson had also consulted with historian George F.G. Stan-ley. It was Stanley who came up with a single red maple leaf on a white background with two verti-cal red bars.

At the end of October, when the committee members voted on their choice for a design, the Conservatives mistakenly con-cluded the Liberals would vote for the “Pearson pennant,” so opted for Stanley’s red and white design.

Yet Pearson, who feared a split vote, had ordered the Liber-als to vote for Stanley’s flag as well. And that was the flag de-sign ultimately voted on by Par-liament.

Still another two weeks of rancorous debate followed and the Liberals were forced to resort to closure (supported by the NDP and Social Credit parties) to end the debate. On Dec. 15, 1964, at 2 a.m., the Liberal motion on Canada’s new red and white Ma-ple Leaf flag passed by a vote of 163 to 78.

Though the adoption of a new flag prompted much commentary in the press about Canada’s coming of age, the flag did not unite the country as Pearson had hoped. A few months earlier, Pierre Trudeau, still a Montreal law professor, remarked “French Canada did not give a ‘tinker’s damn’ about the flag.” That was likely true, and a new flag did not halt the growth of the Quebec separatist movement.

Nor was the flag responsible for weakening Can-ada’s British connection and pushing us into the hands of the Americans, as its detractors claimed. That process had begun many decades earlier and given geography and the realities of trade was inev-itable. In hindsight, the flag had little to do with it; if anything the Maple Leaf flag solidified Canada’s

Britishness.That’s the view of historian C.P. Champion. His

research has persuasively shown the choice of the maple leaf for Canada’s flag as well as the eventual choice of the colours red and white had deep Brit-ish traditions.

Five decade ago, such an academic argument would have made little difference to either Pearson or Diefenbaker.

The flag ceremony on Feb. 15, 1965, was for Lester Pearson, a proud moment — his proudest as prime minister according to his wife Maryon — while a news photo published the next day showed Diefenbaker shedding a tear.

Our flag has great history

THE OWNER of a taxi and transportation service connecting the Nass Valley to Terrace has sold the operation and is retiring.

Perry Azak of Tilthski Transport, founded in June 1995 after purchasing the transportation li-cence from Bill Young of Nass Camp, sold the business to another Nass Valley entrepreneur, Steve Johnson of Gitlaxt’aamiks. last month.

Using a 15-passenger van, Azak has been offer-ing daily service for individual passengers and for local governments, institutions and businesses in the Nass Valley.

“It has been a very good run!” commented Azak looking back on the 20 years of service he and his business have provided.

‘Tilthski’ is a childhood nickname that was be-stowed on Azak as a young boy by his father and uncles.

The sale by Azak to Johnson grew out of an existing business relationship in which Tilthski Transport provided transportation services to John-son’s existing Nass Valley Tours which takes visi-tors through the Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Pro-vincial Park, to a volcano cone and other points of interest.

Johnson will rename the service “113 Taxi and Transportation” after the number of the highway running north of Terrace to the Nass Valley.

Johnson will continue operating on the existing business transportation schedule, but also plans on diversifying the operation providing taxi service to special events in the region such as the All Native Basketball Tournament in Prince Rupert and Ho-biyee (the Nisga’a New Year) in Nisga’a villages.

He also plans on expanding the scope to com-plement his existing businesses Nass Valley Tours and Nass Valley Foods, an umbrella company with one subsidiary, Kirby’s Mushrooms – a seasonal pine mushroom buying business.

“For Nass Valley Tours, I’m working on certify-ing and retrofitting my boat to provide boat tours throughout the Valley, as well as kayak and canoe lake tours so the transport business will coincide with that,” said Johnson.

The purchase of the taxi and transportation business was made possible with support from the Nisga’a Business Development Fund in the form of a $20,000 contribution and from the Gitlaxt’aamiks Village Government.

For the individuals the businesses employ, in-cluding one full-time driver and up to 6 seasonal employees, Johnson has received targeted wage subsidy support from Nisga’a Employment Skills and Training (NEST).

DIRECTORS OF the Kitimat-Stikine region-al district have voted to support a bid by Skee-na-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen to ban bulk oil exports by tanker off the north coast.

The decision came after Cullen briefed directors at the last re-gional district meeting on his ban bid via a pri-vate member’s bill in Parliament.

Cullen’s bill, Bill C-628, An Act to Amend the Shipping Act 2001 and the Na-tional Energy Board Act, is intended to amend the shipping act

to define oil and “pro-hibit the transport of oil in an oil tanker in the areas of the sea adjacent to the coast of Canada

known as Dixon En-trance, Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound.”

It was introduced last year in Parliament and is scheduled to be debated Feb. 18.

Cullen’s bill would amend the Energy Board Act “to include additional consider-ations when considering the issuance of pipeline certificates: the extend to which the pipeline is expected to have an im-pact on employment...” and “ensure the consul-tations have taken place between the Govern-ment of Canada and all other provincial, territo-

rial, municipal and First Nations Governments, whose lands and waters will be affected, and take into account those positions and specify how each position was taken into account in the recommendation.”

The MP told region-al district directors the “elephant in the room” is First Nations rights.

“I’m not convinced the Conservatives real-ize that reality,” he said.

Cullen has been tak-ing his tanker ban cru-sade around the riding and elsewhere on the coast and province un-der the banner, “Take Back our Coast.”

THE KITIMAT-STIKINE regional district committee appointments have been made by chair Stacey Tyers for the 2015 year.

Personnel and finance commit-tee members include Nass Valley director Harry Nyce, who’s the committee chair, Kitimat mayor Phil Germuth, who’s vice-chair, Village of Hazelton mayor Alice Maitland, Terrace city councillor James Cordeiro and Stewart mayor Galina Durant.

BY JOSH MASSEY

THE CITY of Terrace is taking a more con-servative approach to its goal of reducing green-house gas emissions, opting for equipment replacement instead of new projects, to meet a commitment it made with the province dating back to 2009.

It’s using $70,000 this year earmarked to reduce its carbon foot-print to instead pur-chase new parts for its sewage treatment plant.

The new diffusers are what disperses oxy-gen bubbles throughout the new lagoons, fuel-ling the growth of sew-age-eating bacteria.

The new compo-nents are 40 per cent more efficient than the current ones, but are powered by hydro elec-tricity which is already considered a renewable energy source not over-ly dependant on fossil fuel burning.

The $70,000 rep-resents two years of a commitment made by the city in signing onto the 2009 BC Climate Action Charter to spend $35,000 a year to pur-chase carbon offsets or to invest in renew-able energy projects that would allow cities to achieve a “making progress” rank in reduc-ing energy use.

The expenditure is revenue neutral, as it works out that munici-palities get a tax rebate to make up for it.

According to the for-mer city sustainability coordinator Tara Irwin, who is now a city plan-ner, “the money was just available to offset the cost of the project

and it was a good fit.”Councillor Brian

Downie, at the Jan. 12 council meeting in which it approved the diffuser replacement project, expressed con-cern that the city might not be able to show the province that it is meet-ing its climate commit-ments.

“I think it could be perceived that we are backing away from our climate action charter commitments,” Downie said. He added that be-ing accepted for certain governmental grants depends on the Terrace following the climate charter. “There was a bit of a threat from the province,” said Downie.

The carbon offset program fell from fa-vour with municipali-ties because sometimes they were forced to purchase carbon credits from companies out-side of their boundaries which they were unfa-miliar with.

Under that system a municipality could achieve carbon neutrali-ty by purchasing credits generated by companies that reduce the tonnage of their own emissions in measurable amounts.

This system of trad-ing is supposed to offer incentive for companies to reduce their carbon emissions, however companies that had a lot of money to pur-chase offsets seemed to have an edge over public institutions such as schools who used a lot of energy but didn’t have much back up money to draw from.

Terrace chose to put the carbon credit money into a reserve fund to spend on local renew-

able energy projects but city official Tara Irwin told councillors no such projects existed.

The projects have to be validated as an offi-cial sustainable project to qualify, she said.

In her report to coun-cil, Irwin told council the city did not meet its carbon neutrality goal for 2012 because of its decision not to spend on carbon offsets.

Like 79 per cent of the province’s mu-nicipalities Terrace has decided to aim for the “making progress” cat-egory. City emissions have nonetheless been trending downward, driven by building up-

grades such as new win-dows and insulation at city hall which can also be shown to the prov-ince as efficiency im-provements.

From 2007 to 2013 the number of tonnes of carbon dioxide equiva-lent attributed to City

of Terrace activity has gone from 1,455 units to 1,228, however the 2013 emission level is slightly higher than the 2012. Irwin said that the city is nonetheless still gunning for a 22 per cent reduction by 2020.

Irwin, originally

hired as the city’s sus-tainability coordinator, is now its planner and there is currently no such posi-tion on staff and no city committee related to en-vironmental matters.

“While we don’t have a committee, sus-tainability files are shared within our plan-ning department as they have been in the past,” said Irwin.

Firefightersseek morevolunteersBy MARGARET SPEIRS

THE CITY of Terrace fire department is in need of more volunteer firefighters.

John Klie, city fire chief, told city council this at a recent meeting.

The department is short about 10 volunteers from people moving on or retiring as the age re-striction is 60.

That leaves 21 volunteers in addition to the eight paid full-time firefighters and two chief officers, Klie and Dave Jephson.

“For about two years, we haven’t been able to keep up with people leaving,” said Klie.

“We do recruiting classes every spring and fall now,” he added, saying that when he arrived in 2011, the classes would have 10 or 15 people but now only have three or four.

Klie believes that the reason for the decrease in volunteers could be that many young men get jobs outside of town.

And the shortage of volunteer firefighters is not just here in Terrace but across Canada and the U.S., he said.

“At fire chief and volunteer conventions, it’s a topic of concern and interest,” said Klie.

Volunteer firefightersneeded by city dept.

When he took over as fire chief here, the department still had five or six members with 25 to 30 years of experi-ence but now there’s only two or three.

The average experi-ence level is five or six years and it’s really a newer department, Klie added.

“It’s a huge disad-vantage,” said Klie.

That’s because the remaining volunteers are asked to do more training, come in more often than once a week and take on more re-sponsibility, which a lot of them find stressful, he explained.

If they’re single, that’s OK, but more than three-quarters of the volunteers are mar-ried with children and it’s hard on everyone’s life, Klie added.

For those who vol-unteer, all the training is done at the fire de-partment and all they’re asked to do is whether they’re committed and to pass a physical fit-ness test.

“If you’re in shape, no matter if you’re male or female, you pass,” said Klie, adding that the department only has one female volunteer firefighter right now.

“Lots of people do not pass on the first

time because they do not know what to ex-pect. We give them three weeks, a chance to get in shape and come back and 80 per cent do pass.”

Applicants aren’t required to run or carry heavy weights anymore but they put on gear and have to do some job ac-tivities successfully.

The first time they put on the Scott Pack, the breathing apparatus to help them breathe in fires, which is an extra 25 or 30 pounds, it can be heavier than expect-ed, he said.

“At one time, they used to make you take 150 pounds to put over your shoulder, now you can drag it. We prefer to drag it because it

takes away any tripping hazard,” said Klie, add-ing that a lot of people would fail if they had to pick up and carry 150 pounds.

“When you look at rescuing somebody, al-most 90 per cent of the time you’re dragging them anyway,” he said about whether a person needing to be rescued would be dragged or carried.

Training is done one day a week on Tuesday evenings for two hours and when people start volunteering, they’re asked to give up three or four weekends, Fri-day night, Saturday and Sunday, he said.

They’re trained to a basic level so they can work on the exterior of

a fire and help. That means putting

on gear and the breath-ing apparatus, learning how to advance the fire hose line, how to prop-erly spray, how to stay down, how to crawl with a hose nozzle so when they do get to the point of going into the building, the only new thing is that it’s hot, he said.

Putting on the face piece restricts your breathing and visibility so that is a whole train-ing exercise by itself, said Klie.

Another learning curve for people is working as a team and taking the leadership on the hose team, he added. Volunteers are also trained to be first responders so they can go out to assist the am-bulance crews.

Then there are spe-cial practices some-times on Wednesdays during the day and spe-cial training on another weekend so they can do live fire burns or con-fined space training and then do more than being on the exterior in a real fire, he added.

“It is a big commit-ment,” said Klie.

The next training session for volunteers will be in the spring. A date has yet to be set.

Directors vote themselves a raiseBy MARGARET SPEIRS

AFTER NINE years, regional district direc-tors will see increases in their expenses and have meeting attendance fees converted to annual payments.

Pay is for directors and alternate directors “and for reasonable ex-penses incurred by the director or alternate director in connection with regional district business,” according to a bylaw approved late last year.

For the first time di-rectors elected directly from rural areas will receive $10,500 in an-nual pay, directors who represent municipal councils get $5,500 an-nually and the chair gets $4,000 annually.

This money is paid monthly and will be increased annually at a rate of two per cent.

Additionally, for at-tendance at regularly scheduled monthly board and committee meetings, the chair will get $600, vice-chair $500 and directors $400, the new bylaw states.

That’s up from the previous bylaw for the chair, whose amount was $535, but the direc-tors’ amount remains the same. The vice-chair wasn’t paid an an-nual amount in the pre-vious bylaw.

Directors will also be paid the $400 for a monthly or committee meeting they cannot attend if they are at an-other meeting, atten-dance at which has been authorized by the board.

This is also new and wasn’t in the previous bylaw.

Alternate directors are to be paid $140 a year plus travel ex-penses for attendance at two board meetings but where an alternate attends as a director, then the pay is at the di-rector’s full remunera-tion and travel expense rates.

A meal allowance is included when travel doesn’t include an over-night stay and will be paid in the amount of $17 for breakfast, $20 for lunch and $30 for dinner.

In the previous by-law, the meal allowance was $15, $18 and $27 for breakfast, lunch and dinner, respectively.

A special meal al-

lowance is used when travel does not include an overnight stay and where part of the trip takes place in the Fra-ser Valley/Victoria or Whistler and will be paid in the amounts of

$20 for breakfast, $25 for lunch and $35 for dinner. The former by-law had no special meal allowance.

An overnight per diem is for each night away from home and

will be paid to cover expenses for meals and other incurred inci-dentals such as use of phone, photocopying or laundering services and gratuities and will be $77 or, if it’s in the

Fraser Valley/Victoria or Whistler will be $90.

In the previous by-law, the amount was $70 with no special amount for any specific place.

The new mileage

allowance is 57 cents per kilometre on paved roads and 75 cents per kilometre on gravel roads.

If the travel is by air, directors are entitled to economy class airfare.

When there’s a choice, an allowance will be paid which is equal to the lesser amount of direct return trip mileage times the mileage rate or round trip economy airfare.

Drivers found lackingin school zone areas

FILE PHOTO

RCMP CONSTABLE Trevor Mack uses a speed gun to gauge the speed of drivers.

LOCAL DRIVERS, including those drop-ping off or picking up children at schools, aren’t paying attention to speed limits or traf� c signs at the schools, re-port Terrace RCMP.

“The no park-ing zones were put in place for the safety of children, yet parents put their own children at risk by insisting on disobeying the law and parking in these areas,” said Constable Angela Rabut in releasing the results of a January enforcement campaign last week.

Of� cers issued three tickets (at $167 each) for failing to stop for a stop sign, � ve tickets (at $40) each for parking in a no parking zone and seven speeding tickets (at � nes ranging from $196 to $253).

“People need to slow down and park appro-priately. It takes 15 min-utes, more often less, to get to places in Terrace going at the speed lim-it,” said Rabut.

“Speeding through a school zone will shave 30 seconds, maybe a minute, off of your travel time. It really does not get you to your destination faster and it greatly impacts the safety of our children.”

Rabut said drivers dropping off or picking up children at schools would be far better off to plan a spot that is safe, legal and easy to get to.

“Walking a few hundred feet never hurt anybody. Unlike jaywalking and blind spots,” she said.

Rabut said drivers can expect RCMP of-� cers to conduct more traf� c law enforcement campaigns.

Digital speed in-dicators are up at two schools, Suwilaawks Community School and Ecole Mountainview, meaning drivers have a visual way of checking their speed then slow down, if necessary, to meet the 30 kilometre an hour limit that’s in force in school zones.

Those indicators were purchased through a provincial program.

It takes the proceeds from the sale of assets seized because of crimi-nal activity.

Of� cials then apply for the money.

Grant requests touchoff a council debate

Tyers pointed out this is a case of a group that previously received money from the province but this year is asking the city for grants.

She thinks the city shouldn’t have to pick up where the province falls short.

For his part, Downie pointed out that perhaps the $1,500 requested by the Northwest Latin Group Society for a festival this year was a non starter be-cause the Paci� c Northwest Music Festival doesn’t apply for community grants.

Downie also wondered why the Provincial Networking Group Litter Clean-Up contract of $26,762, which has been covered by a grant, isn’t instead a budget item under the city’s leisure ser-vices department. “It’s not really a grant, but a ser-vice,” said Tyers in agreement with Downie’s posi-tion.

The � nal decisions on all these grants is delayed until a future date.

The city dispenses money through four streams – pro� ts from its community forest, grants to com-munity groups, grants to groups for special events and grants to larger services such as the Terrace and District Museum Society which runs Heritage Park.

This year community groups have asked for a combined $105,487 under the community grants program when just under $82,000 is available.

The Terrace Community Forest has $150,000 to dispense this year, which comes close to the $156,845 being requested. Groups which want to stage special events are asking for $26,950.

The larger agencies offering services – Terrace Public Library, the Museum Society, the Terrace Economic Development Authority and Kermode Tourism go through a somewhat separate budget process. A portion of their � nancing comes from the Kitimat-Stikine regional district’s rural areas surrounding Terrace.

AND HERE is a list of the groups asking for money from the city and from its community forest:

Community grantsTwelve groups have applied for community

grants totally $105,487 with a maximum of $82,000 available in the 2015 budget.

These include: Volunteer Terrace which is asking $10,000 for program delivery, Caledonia Dry Grad-$2,020 for facility rental and another 2,020 for their prom; Bread of Life Soup Kitchen is requesting $1,000; Green Thumb Garden Society- $5,000 for fruit trees, soil upgrades, and other programming; Terrace & District Arts Council - $22,500 after be-ing cut short last year from a higher request; Pro-vincial Networking Group for a Litter Clean-Up contract wants $26,762; Skeena Valley Model Rail-road Association $685; Greater Beauti� cation So-ciety $500; Northwest Latin Group Society $1,500; Helping hands of Terrace Society $23, 500; Kalum Community School Society $10,000.

Community forestSeventeen groups have applied for grants total-

ling $156,845, with $150,000 coming in from the municipal forestry company, which is a 50 per cent rise in available money over last year.

The groups who are applying include the City of Terrace (COT) Ferry Island, which is applying for $8,000 for dangerous tree removal; COT Howe

Creek Trails is requesting $5,000 for upgrades to trails; My Mountain Co-Op wants $15,000 for an upgraded energy meter; the Skeena Valley Golf and Country Club wants $23,000 for a new stove and carpets, but administration has recommended giv-ing them $10,000; the Skeena Valley Nordic Ski Club wants $15,000 for a new groomer; Terrace Off Road Cycling Association wants $7,500 for a new bike trail and bike park; the Northwest Science and Innovation group wants $1,500 to host their sci-ence fair; the Skeena Valley Snowmobile Associa-tion wants $11,655 for a day-use cabin on Sterling Mountain; Terrace Salmonid Enhancement wants $9,925 to install new signage at the Eby St. Hatch-ery; Caledonia Secondary Outdoors Club wants $10,000 for new canoes, trailer and other items; The Dr. R.E.M. Lee foundation wants $10,000 to go towards their new High De� nition Endos-copy Machine; Ksan House Society wants $4,920 to help them develop an urban forest; the Mount Remo Backcountry Society is looking for $10,000 to install a waste disposal system on a backcountry cabin; the Terrace Downtown Improvement Area wants $12,000 for Heritage Tree Maintenance Plan-ning; The Skeena Nass Centre for Innovation wants $5,000 for the Northwest Regional Challenge; the Terrace Community Foundation wants $10,000 for an endowment; and on top of this the city is rec-ommending $4,500 for trail improvements around Kitsumgallum Cemetery.

Who is asking for money

Another scam reportedTERRACE RCMP are dealing with a new report of a fraud.

This time it’s a rental scam in which a person is asked to send money away.

In this particular case, police report that hundreds of dollars was sent through Western Union to a man in Texas.

In return, the man was to ar-range for the rental of an apart-ment in Richmond.

The man in Texas can no longer

be contacted.Police remind people that the

growth of the internet as a com-munications and � nancial services medium has given rise to sophisti-cated frauds involving hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

When in doubt, money should not be forwarded to people offer-ing goods or services. Police ad-vise people to follow the old ad-age – if it is too good to be true, it probably is.

The time is now. The 2014 RRSP contributiondeadline is March 2, 2015. ........................................................................

Why Does LNG Matter to Me?New local jobs will give young people and future generations more opportunities to stay in northern BC instead of having to move away to find good jobs.

JOBS AND TRAININGWe’re committed to hiring as many local workers as possible for construction and operations jobs at our facility. To support this important goal, we are developing training programs for local workers interested in working in the LNG sector. Pacific NorthWest LNG will create new vendor opportunities for businesses and contractors in the northwest.

We will be posting more details of these programs, including how to apply, on our website www.PacificNorthWestLNG.com in the near future.

A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR NORTHERN BC

Key Facts about Pacific NorthWest LNGWHAT IS LNG?LNG is short for “liquefied natural gas” – which is natural gas that has been chilled to -162 degrees Celsius, converting it from gas to a liquid.

WHAT’S NEEDED FOR THE PROJECT?Natural gas produced in northeast BC would be transported to our proposed facility in Port Edward by the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Pipeline. The pipeline would carry natural gas in its vapour state, which would not cover or coat surfaces if a pipeline event occurred.

WHY IS BC EXPORTING NATURAL GAS TO ASIA?The demand for energy is increasing, and natural gas is a cleaner fuel source than other fossil fuels. Liquefying natural gas allows us to access new markets for BC-produced natural gas, creating and protecting jobs for BC families.

HEALTH CARE officials in the region have been talk-ing about ways to better ensure the ongoing well-being of aboriginal people after they return to their home communities from time spent in a health care facility.

And specifically, conversations have focussed on two groups – senior citizens and women before they give birth to six months after.

With aboriginal people making up at least 17 per cent of the northern population, even higher in the northwest, and with the challenge of providing health care in general in smaller and more remote communi-ties, figuring out ways to do things better is necessary, says Chris Simms from the Northern Health Authority.

Based at Mills Memorial Hospital here, Simms, other Northern Health officials, people from commu-nity-based health care agencies throughout the region and officials from the First Nations Health Authority have already spent time comparing notes.

Although officials from the Northern Health Au-thority and First Nations health agencies meet regu-larly, they gathered at Kitsumkalum last fall to plot out the exact sequence of events when a person leaves a health care facility and returns to a more remote com-munity.

It’s a method called process mapping and Simms said the information gathered will form the basis of renewed efforts at providing health care services.

“What we were looking for was gaps and the infor-mation we were sharing is what the service looks like the way it is now and where we were lacking,” he said.

Simms described the provision of health care in re-mote communities as complex, drawing in issues such as distance from health care centres and cultural con-siderations.

Even factors such as how a patient, at time of dis-charge, is going to get home and who will be waiting for them there factor into the planning that does on before a person leaves the hospital, he said.

Nicole Cross, the northern regional director for the First Nations Health Authority, a relatively new agency with responsibility for aboriginal health, said improve-ments between health care service agencies could very well start with improvements in communication.

“I think we all need to know what are resources are,” said Cross. Although smaller and more remote communities have established community care ser-vices, many lack facilities where people can stay and that’s a consideration as health care officials begin looking at improvements, she added.

“There’s a huge interest to keep people close to their home or in their home and in their community,” Cross said. “This is where it’s really important to gath-er all the information we can.”

Local sessions to trace a person’s progress from discharge back to their home communities is part of a larger effort by the Northern Health Authority, says Dr. Margo Greenwood, its vice president for aborigi-nal health.

“It’s fair to say this is one of the first processes un-derway in our region,” she said. “We want a process or strategy so that people have the very best support and care to achieve their individual health.”.

And while people returning to more rural and re-mote communities after being discharged from a health care facility have specific issues, Greenwood says the health authority is also focused on the grow-ing number of aboriginal people living in larger north-ern centres.

It’s why, Greenwood says, the health authority also speaks with non profit groups and organizations such as aboriginal friendship centres.

Honing in on health

A ‘twist’ on Oliver


OLIVER TWIST (Kayden Porter) gets up carefully from his ear being grabbed by Mr. Bumble (Mikyle Strydom) in the Uplands Elementary production of the musical Oliver Twist. That’s Mrs. Mann (Payton Prevost) and orphan kid Johanna Giesbrecht with them.

FOR ITS first musical in more than five years, Uplands Elementary travels back to 1800s London, England for Oliver Twist and its two shows will be different, giving audiences two viewpoints to see.

The play has been “double cast,” says director Robin Hollett.

“I wanted to do it because I have prob-ably about 80 amazing kids audition for leads so instead of casting 30 of them, I decided to [double cast],” she says, add-ing that was also done for the school’s last two musicals, Treasure Island and Tom Sawyer.

Double casting means putting two stu-dents in each role, one plays the part in one showing of the play and the second in the second show.

“Friday and Saturday are totally dif-ferent cast members so it’s two different shows,” said Hollett.

The casts and chorus are made up of Grades 4, 5 and 6 students and the leads rehearse every morning and every lunch-time.

“They’ve been rehearsing since No-

vember, some three times a day, some twice a day,” says Hollett, adding for some of them it’s added up to more than 100 hours of rehearsal.

The chorus is made up of about 90 students, who rehearse in the mornings, learning their parts, dancing and chore-ography.

“It’s great family entertainment, lots of singing, acting, dancing, full chore-ography, great costumes and props,” says Hollett.

And a 36-foot backdrop of the London street scene came from a theatre compa-ny in Vancouver, and will be reused year to year. Caledonia welcomed the stu-dents to use its pully system to draw the backdrop up and down and Cal teacher Geoff Parr helped with advice for how to use the backdrop, says Hollett.

“I think the joy of it is the big street scenes when all the kids are out singing with all the backdrops, and fun colourful songs,” she says.

Hollett will be in the pit playing piano along with Caledonia students Ella Mar-

tindale, Anna Linton and Taya Haldane and music teacher Darryl McDickens.

To make the play more family-friend-ly – suggested ages are five and older – Hollett cut it down to one hour and 20 minutes from two and a half hours.

And the story goes as follows: Oliver (Kayden Porter and Rhynn Nester) is an orphan being raised in a workhouse by Mr. Bumble and Mrs. Mann and not treated very well along with the other or-phans.

He’s sold to the undertaker to work as a coffin follower but runs away and meets up with the crafty, artful Dodger (Marlee Gray and Cole Schaeffer), whose job is picking pockets for Fagan (Trevor Massey and Luke Altz) and meets even more undesirable people in the form of Bill Sykes and the protective Nancy (No-ella Baerg and Juliet Lukasser), who fight over who will help Oliver. But that’s not it for Oliver yet.

Climbing up around the moun-tain by Copper River, we found a marine fossil with a coiled shell – a nautilus. Way

up there!Years ago on a Monday morning,

I found a wedding ring, and a few feet later, a matching engagement ring. I meant to put a “found” in the paper, but left it too long and now I can’t remember – was it near the post office in 1995? Or the Farmers Market in 2002? Anyway, if they are yours, I apologize. Also, I apologize for losing the wedding band. I imagine the rings were flung down in anger. If so, I am sorry to hear about that.

Five years ago, my kidling found an artifact on the riverfront when we were camping at Ksan in Hazelton. Upon re-flection, we thought it looked similar to a tool we had seen in the Ksan Museum. I found it again recently, and Kelsey at Heritage Park says I should bring it to Ksan. Will do!

Next time you are in and around the trades building at NWCC, look down. I found a ridiculous amount of lucky dimes when I worked there. How a dime becomes lucky is this: you find it, and you must give it away to the next person you see, and they must put it in their left pocket or left shoe, then you both have luck for the rest of the day. It works just fine. Maybe I will scatter a few dimes around the next time I notice grumpy people.

When I worked at the Manitoba Ac-tion Committee on the Status of Women in the mid-80s, I discovered it was the group’s 20th anniversary. That is an ex-cellent excuse for a party! I set about

finding all the past chairpersons of the organization. Some were easier to find than others. I had a heck of a time find-ing Suzannah June Menzies, who had just moved. Eventually the invitation to attend the 20th anniversary function got to her, and she came and was an ex-cellent speaker. A short time later I met her son, and I said, “Ooh! You’re June’s boy!” and then we got married. That was a lucky find, I think, both of them.

I have found it takes a minimum of three years to get enough friends to throw a fine going-away party. When we left Terrace after one year, we just went. Three years later when we left Halifax, we had a houseful of people to wish us well.

I have found fabulous co-workers in Manitoba, Halifax and Terrace. In Mani-

toba, my co-worker Maureen at MAC-SW and I and a few others dressed up in 1960s outfits – high heels, hats, gloves, dresses and we pamphletted a hearing on child care that was not going well for people needing child care. The pamphlet was from a group we invented that morn-ing called “Rich Mommies with Nannies Against Publicly Funded Day Care.” That was a hoot! I can’t remember all the nonsense we put in the tri-fold, but I do recall that the application (tear here) for membership with RMWNAPFDC required a husband’s signature.

I had a fun time with Rachel in Hali-fax. Too often our meetings deteriorated into cartoon-drawing contests or seeing who could write backwards upside-down fastest. (She won.) She apartment-sat for us and took good care of old Mr. Nelson the cat. She made a fabulous cartoon strip of her experiences in our flat, and I had it on my fridge for many years. Decades!

BC wins for the most fabulous co-workers, too numerous to mention them all. I will just mention that Sue-Ann is a SERIAL SQUIRREL MURDERER, but otherwise quite nice. We were driv-ing to Rupert, talking about our favou-rite treats from Manitoba bakeries in the 70s (she grew up in Garden City) when a squirrel ran diagonally across the highway – we tensed, we sighed in relief – too soon! We heard the small thump. Ten minutes later another squir-rel, same diagonal trajectory, another thump. “Sue-Ann!” I said. She claims she didn’t do either on purpose.

I found my cat Dusty. He was in New Remo. I am pretty sure he didn’t get there on his own.

Peewee Whites blow out opponentsPART OF Terrace’s next generation of hockey stars, the Terrace Pee-wee Rewind Whites, bested their competition in a big way in Prince Rupert last month.

Terrace went un-defeated to take the top spot in the Prince Rupert Peewee House tournament Jan 23-25, 2015.

The team first came out against Prince Ru-pert Blue, winning 5-2, before shutting out Prince Rupert Red 4-0 in the next game.

Terrace White then set their sights fur-ther east, shutting out Smithers 5-0 and beat-ing Kitimat 7-3.

Coaching the team this year are Darwin Doherty and Troy Kaye.

Says coach Doherty, “I have a great time for my first year as head coach. Our weekly house practices learning different skills and tech-niques was a huge part in winning the tourna-ment in Prince Rupert. Winning was also due

to the fact they put their skills together and worked hard as a team. I am very proud of each and every one of them. Watching them come together as a team and having fun at the same time makes it all worth it.”

By MARY ANN MISFELDT

THE 60TH Annual Legion Bonspiel was an amazing suc-cess. Thirty six teams were entered some from as far away as Prince George and one indi-vidual from the Okanagan.

From formal opening cer-emonies with a most impressive colour party and a moment’s silence for a special friend on Friday evening Jan. 30 to the marching off of the colours on Sunday evening, everyone was treated to a fun-filled event, wonderful food both at the rink and at the Legion and some ex-cellent curling.

Sixty years is a long time for an event that gives so much pleasure to so many to be spon-sored by anyone and it was duly noted by Branch 13 that while they sponsor the event it is only with the help of so many indi-viduals.

In particular sincere thanks was extended many times through out the weekend to the local businesses who donated this year and over many years and without whose generosity and assistance this feat could never have been accomplished.

Many thanks are also ex-tended to Bonspiel Chairper-

son, Be Gomes and her com-mittee for a fitting tribute to 60 years of curling complements of Branch 13.

The bonspiel winners were as follows:

A Event and the Ken Austin Memorial Trophy, sponsored by the Legion and presented by the Sallenback family and the Pres-ident of Branch 13, was

The Vanderstar Rink from Smithers

2nd The Giffith Rink3rd The Johnson Rink4th The Dennis RinkB Event and the Bud

Kirkaldy Memorial Trophy, sponsored by Canadian Tire and presented by Bryan Gascon and Brian Kirkaldy, was

The Tracey Hittel Rink from Terrace

2nd The Oleniuk Rink3rd The Billson Rink4th The Green RinkC Event and the Peter Bar-

nett Memorial Trophy, spon-sored by the Barnett family and presented by three generations of that family, was

The Austin Rink from Ter-race

2nd The Bulleid Rink3rd The Kurisu Rink4th The Goodall Rink D Event and the Steve Kute-

nics Memorial Trophy, spon-sored by MacCarthy GM and presented by Les Kutenics, was

The Thomas Rink from Prince Rupert

2nd The D. Melanson Rink3rd The Les Kutenics Rink 4th The Bakker RinkAll the winners in all events

were presented with a plaque beautifully hand crafted by Kar-en Dedosenco as a memento of this special event.

Branch 13 extends its thanks to all the participants and truly hope they had a week end to remember for years to come. As president Ray Hallock said at the opening ceremonies we hope that many of you will be here 40 years from now when Branch 13 honours all veterans with the 100th Bonspiel.

Don't forget our monthly meetings at the Legion at 7 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month, our Steak Nights (a reminder that your children are welcome for the dinner) the first Friday of each month, and Meat Draw every Saturday afternoon from 4 p.m. till 6 p.m.

60th success


In 1982 I came across a copy of a Brit-ish fly fishing magazine with a feature article on salmon fishing in Scotland. The article was as dull as dishwater

but the accompanying photographs, show-ing tweed-clad anglers wielding giant rods under the watchful eyes of their ghillies fascinated me. I took the article to Mike Whelpley, who was equally intrigued by the gargantuan rods and just happened to have a recent catalogue from the House of Hardy of Alnwick England. As one would expect of the oldest purveyor of fishing tackle in Great Britain, a section of the catalogue was devoted to double handed fly rods.

Dave Elkins, who was running the Northwest Angler then, had the same cata-logue. Through Dave, Mike and I ordered what were probably the first two fisted fly rods imported to the Skeena drainage. They were Hardy Favourites, a less expen-sive grade than the De-Luxe. Mike’s was 14 feet long, mine a foot longer. They cost us about 500 1982 dollars, then a sizeable chunk of change.

The poles broke down in three pieces. The workmanship was excellent. The only difference between our models and the De-Luxe appeared to be the lustrous brown finish of the latter, and the fact that the blanks our poles were built upon were not sanded, that is, one could see the carbon fibre wraps. Since the oldest manufactur-er of fishing tackle in the world, Orvis of

Manchester Vermont, built all their rods that way then, claiming that they were stronger when not sanded, this hardly seemed a concern.

There were no rock-et tapered, multiple looped, designer lines in those days. I read some-where that Hardy had Scientific Anglers build a 40 yard long double-tapered line specifically to be cast on two hand-ed rods, so I ordered a couple, one for Mike and one for me, and we wound them onto large Hardy salmon reels that accommodated them to-gether with a hundred yards of backing line. Armed with our lengthy graphite sticks, we set out for the river to learn how to use them.

Overhead casting proved even easier with the long sticks than with a single-handed rod, but I had read in the famous English Angler Hugh Falkus’ book Salmon Fishing, that the principle advantages of the long rod conferred upon the salmon an-gler were the ability to cover more water, enhanced control over the fly line on short-er casts, and the ability to cast long lines with obstacles close behind. The promise

of the last advantage was considerable, for it granted access to places heretofore impossible or awkward to fish com-fortably. To do this, Faulkus wrote that the angler required profi-ciency in the single and double spey casts with both left and right hands. Once this was mastered, he promised that every condition of wind and water (save, presumably for a hurricane) could be overcome.

Clearly, these Spey casts had to be per-formed in front of the caster for the most part, in much the same way a

roll cast is, and I could perform decent roll casts with my 15 foot 10 weight Hardy. If I was to make progress I simply had to see someone with the ability to do these casts in action. Today, I would simply insert “Spey Casting” in the Google search field and be rewarded with a plethora of vid-eos by accomplished casters from round the world, but there was no World Wide Web then so it was not until Art Lingren, who had bought a 16 foot Bruce & Walker double hander a year before I ordered my Hardy, kindly sent me a video cassette of

Faulkus giving a casting clinic, that I was able to see how it was done.

“Try to break the rod,” ordered the re-doubtable Hugh as he powered out prodi-gious lengths of tightly looped line over a slow flowing river. As advertised, Faulkus did the double and single Spey cast over both shoulders and with both hands with almost no casting room behind him. Pumped after witnessing this performance, I hastened to the Skeena with my 15 Hardy and proceeded to emulate Hugh’s moves. At the end of a session that lasted about 30 minutes, my arms and back ached, and I was so frustrated I had to fight the urge to smash my rod to bits against the nearest cottonwood tree.

Of course, I’d stupidly set myself up for failure. I should have hearkened back to the time I learned to cast a single handed rod and appreciated that casting is replete with nuance and subtlety. I could no more expect to spend 30 minutes watching Hugh Faulkus cast then go out and cast well as I could expect to watch Tiger Woods play a round in the Masters then take a club out to the range and knock out drives of 295 feet.

I watched Faulkus again and again, with greater attention. This helped. I was able to get a few credible casts out but things always fell apart.

All this changed when I found a little book in a sale bin that stood in front of a used book store in Vancouver.

BY NOW, the midget rep Terrace Kermodes probably enjoy the con-fines of Prince Rupert's Jim Ciccone Civic Cen-tre almost as much as their own arena.

Every time the team rolls in, it seems they roll over their Sea-wolves rivals and roll out – and two weekends was no different during the Prince Rupert Minor Hockey-hosted Battle of the Ice tournament.

Hosting Burns Lake, Smithers and Terrace, the four-team tourney came to a head when the Seawolves and Ker-modes met up for the final after finishing first and second in the round robin, respectively.

And while it was the Seawolves who struck first and won Game One of Battle of the Ice 4-3, it was the Kermodes who had all the momen-tum during Sunday's final, and skated their way to a 10-0 victory and the gold medal.

“We expected to win,” said Kermodes goalie Dion Johnston, who collected his first shutout of the weekend in the final. “Not 10-0. I thought it'd be a little closer, but we wanted it.”

The midget rep Ker-modes, who lost their only game all weekend to Rupert in that 4-3

loss, beat Smithers 4-2 and Burns Lake 5-4 in the leadup to the fi-nal. Johnston played every game except the first against Rupert. Despite the lopsided score, some of the best hockey played by the Seawolves was that of goaltenders Cole Lind-say, who played the first period and surrendered two goals to the Ker-modes' Ryan Kawinsky and Mark Fisher, and Caleb Perrie, who pre-vented Terrace from pil-ing it on in the second period when he took over.

Perrie fought off de-flected shots from the point and large amounts of traffic in front to keep Terrace's lead respect-able at 5-0 after two

periods.Two tremendous

saves in particular by Perrie occurred when he stuck his right pad out to deny Freddie Mowatt a one-timer from point-blank range and another stop, again with his pads, on Liam Albright who was pounding away at a loose puck, but a down-and-out Perrie kept his right leg firmly against the post, showing off the youngsters' lower-body strength.

Yet despite his best efforts, Perrie could only do so much and three goals by Con-nor Onstein, Hunter Johnson and Kermodes captain Cole Motschil-nig gave the Kermodes a commanding 5-0

lead after two periods. Onstein's tally was on the power-play and Motschilnig's was on a delayed call against Rupert.

The Kermodes broke the game wide open in the third period, where they relentlessly hemmed the Seawolves in their own zone for minutes at a time, and they added five more goals to their score.

A shorthanded mark-er got things going four minutes into the third, followed by a four-on-four by Sam Reinbolt, who slid a wrister un-derneath the pads of Perrie with 6:47 left in the game.

Then, on a five-on-three man-advantage, the gigantic Nicholas

Nordstrom found a lane from the right point to put Terrace up 8-0.

Two more goals by Albright and Colten Stark rounded out the scoring for the Ker-modes.

“We worked really good as a team, today,” said Johnston.

“We really pulled together after our loss. We were pretty rusty the first couple games. All of us have been here since peewee – this is pretty much the same team we had back then,” he said of the group's closeness.

Smithers defeated Burns Lake for the bronze medal 5-1 and in other round robin ac-tion, Smithers dumped Burns Lake 4-1 in their first meeting, Prince Ru-pert topped Burns Lake 6-2, Terrace doubled up on Smithers 4-2, then beat Burns Lake 5-4, and Prince Rupert beat Smithers 5-3.

Prince Rupert's most points award went to Cole Atchison, while Karanpal Gill got player of the game and Austin Weir won Prince Ru-pert's player of the tour-nament.

Terrace's most points award was won by Johnson, Tanner Braid was game MVP and tournament MVP went to the Kermodes' Eric Vandevelde.

Jeep: designed in Motor City, made in ItalySan Jose, California – A new little Jeep with an Italian accent, called Renegade, will soon be available in Canadian dealerships. It’s designed in Detroit and built in Italy, but the iconic Jeep Wrangler influences are easy to spot. The Renegade is a contem-porary and more playful interpretation of Jeep, offering passenger-friendly utility, good on-road performance and fuel econ-omy combined with surprisingly impressive off-road prowess. The new model presents a fresh and cheerful overall design attitude that’s sure to appeal to younger buyers. An “X” motif that appears in numerous places, including the taillights, was taken from the rear-mounted jerry can on the original Willys army vehicle. A cleverly designed lightweight removable (MySpace) dou-ble-sunroof, which stores neatly under the rear cargo area, also adds to the mischie-vous character of Renegade. Jeep points to the Nissan Juke, Mini Countryman and Buick Encore as the expected prime competitors of Renegade. There are, however, a couple of aging compact utilities, Patriot and Compass, already in the Jeep line. So you have to wonder how much longer they’ll be around. Renegade will have a start price of just $19,995 (Sport edition) and comes in two 4x2 trim levels and four 4x4 trim levels, with prices topping out at $31,995. The base 4x2 Sport edition comes with a turbocharged 1.4-litre (Multiair) engine mated to a 6-speed manual trans-mission. The optional ($1,500) powertrain is a 2.4-litre (Multiair Tigershark) engine, paired (no swapping) with a 9-speed automatic. North, with 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrains, is expected to be most popular trim level with all-in pricing in the mid twenties.

Jeep is pushing Renegade as a vehicle with genuine off-road warrior capabili-ties. A Trailhawk 4x4 edition comes with additional ride height, skid plates plus front and rear tow hooks. Unique front/rear fascias improve both approach and departure angle capability and it comes with 17-inch wheels with more aggressive tires. Trailhawk is designed to provide up to 482 mm of water fording capability and it comes with a Jeep Selec-Terrain system that includes a rock mode, Active Drive Low (with 20:1 crawl ratio) and Hill-descent Control.To prove prowess, Jeep included a three-hour stop at Hollister Hills SVRA, an off-road and dirt-biking Mecca about a hour from San Jose, in the drive route. The serious Jeep side of Renegade quickly became apparent as it tackled an arduous obstacle course and a steep hill climbing trail with ease. A short wheelbase makes it highly manoeuvrable in tricky situations and it’s aided by a

fully independent suspension with up to 205 mm (8.1 inches) of wheel articulation. Jeep’s fully automated off-road drive system is also second-to-none.Almost all of the driving tour was in a Renegade equipped with the 2.4-litre (180-horsepower) engine/automatic combination, which will probably be the most popular pairing. The steering is on the light side and is quicker acting than I’m used to in a Jeep. This high-revving engine is also a more refined and quieter power provider than in Wrangler. Impressively slick in operation, the nine-speed speed automatic is certainly setup for best fuel economy, with four overdrive gears.The turbocharged 1.4-litre (160-horsepower) base engine offers surprising oomph and seemed to make Renegade a bit quicker off the line. The 6-speed manual

is a little vague and has a notchy engagement feel, but I did like the cue ball style shift leaver. While official fuel economy numbers were not available, Jeep is expecting a combined fuel rating of about 8.1 L/100km, which would be excellent. The 4x4 versions of Renegade also feature a unique disconnecting rear axle feature that should provide fuel economy numbers that are close to the 4x2 versions.Tek-Tonic is what Jeep designers dubbed the Ren-egade’s funky yet functional interior. The Wrangler theme is also evident inside and includes the requisite passenger grab handle. It’s a softer, more comfortable Jeep people place with practical features such as the fold-forward front-passenger seat and a removable, reversible and height-adjustable cargo floor panel. Renegade is also tall folk friendly with oodles of head-room, so they could even wear a hat. A minor tall-roof drawback was noted, however, when I tried to reach for a distant sun visor above the upright windshield.Jeep claims Renegade has up to 70 standard and available safety and security features. There are seven standard air bags, including a driver’s knee air bag. On top of that you can layer an impressive list of optional active safety features that includes Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection, ParkView and a Rear Backup Camera.The all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade is in a word…how you say…Stupendo!

By Keith Morgan

The fourth generation Toyota RAV4 has a bold design that many people were happy to see when it was introduced in the 2013 model year. LooksThose changes were overdue. The Toyota RAV4 was fast becoming one of those ve-hicles that was starting to blend into the background. It had lost its design edge, which had distinguished it from its rivals. It’s now keeping the competition at bay with a new and improved version. It features sleek bodylines, lower stance and is a little wider, making it more aerody-namic. Swept back headlights and a more aggressive front end are just some of the

changes made a few years ago. The rear lift-gate features a one-touch operation that has selectable memory height set-tings. That was perfect for my family: my wife had it set so low I could barely get my arm in. If she had been forced to deal with it at my height preference she would have needed a step ladder to close it! There are five models to choose from FWD LE, FWD XLE, AWD LE, and AWD Limited, giving a little something for everybody.In The Cab:Ample use of soft touch materials used throughout the interior. Comfortable front seats and rear seats that in to consid-eration the comfort of your passengers. 60/40 split fold down with reclining seat

backs that are just as comfortable as the front seats and lots of legroom too. The driver’s seat on the LE models features a six-way manual adjustment while the Limited model receives an eight-way power adjustable. The cargo area has a capacity of 1.09m and 2.08m with the rear seats folded.Safety firstMany safety items are standard in this RAV4: dual stage driver and passenger airbags, driver knee airbags, front seat mounted side airbags, roll sensing front and rear head/side curtain airbag. The star safety system includes vehicle stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake force distribution, brake assist, and smart stop technology. Also

available is lane departure alert, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert, which I think should be standard on all new models.RoadworthyI was impressed with how quiet and com-fortable the interior was. You can hold a conversation with your children in the back without have to yell over the road noise. I found the 4-cylinder engine to be smooth and responsive. Verdict:Improving upon a vehicle that has a proven track record, while keeping up with the latest technologies is a key reason that Toyota continues to be so popular today.Power

A 2.5-litre, 4 cylinder engine powers this vehicle with 176 horsepower and 172 lb ft of torque mated to a 6-speed automatic electronically controlled transmission with sequential shift mode.
