■ Morning at the lakecentennial christian school students left classes and took to the ice at lakelse lake for a game of hockey or just skating around Feb. 6. it’s the first time for the whole school – in the past, individual classes or grades have gone skating. school staff were out at the lake the week before to ensure the ice was thick enough. Despite the heavy wind in town, it was calm and about -13 c at the lake.

JuST becAuSe you can rent out your basement suite for $2,500, doesn’t neces-sarily mean you should.

That’s the word from Terrace mayor Dave Per-narowski, who, along with other members of Terrace city council, have been speaking with residents who are increasingly anxious about either finding a place

to live or coping with rising costs amidst an increasingly tight rental market.

“Taking advantage of a strong economy market is one thing, but setting rental prices that are negatively af-fecting our community and makes us appear to be greedy and insensitive is a prob-lem,” wrote Pernarowski in a response to a local resident lamenting the area’s sky-rocking rents on the mayor’s

public Facebook group.expanding on his com-

ments later, Pernarowski ac-knowledged that “it’s a fine balance and a bit of a tough statement, because certainly I understand market condi-tions, and when the market was tough in Terrace, those landlords were not, in a lot of cases, seeing any rent-ers at all and were certainly charging dollars that were a lot lower.

“Market conditions would allow them to up-grade their units and charge more money but it just seems to me that there are some, I’ll say, that perhaps are taking advantage of a situation,” he continued, em-phasizing that’s not the case for all landlords.

“And you know, I think that we could probably do much better as a commu-nity if we were to ensure

that we’ve got appropriately priced rental units in place so that everybody’s able to afford to continue to live in the community.”

The city has encour-aged more housing through bylaws aimed at a variety of suites and new develop-ments and has been trying to encourage developers to build accommodation con-taining both market rental housing and housing meant

for lower income earners.Pernarowski is confi-

dent that there will be a fair amount of construction hap-pening this summer that will add to the housing stock.

“I think we’re going to see this as a short-term situ-ation,” he said of the hous-ing crunch. “Once a few of these developments are built we’ll see the market start to even out.”

Tax lacktroubling,says MLA

Cont’d Page A2

THe PROvINcIAl gov-ernment’s announcement that its liquefied natural gas (lNG) tax plan won’t be ready this month is a sign of trouble, says Skeena NDP MlA Robin Austin.

lack of a tax plan delays the ability of companies to make investment decisions and further pushes back lib-eral promises of revenues to come from the tax, he said.

“First it was to be last fall, then by the end of the year, then this February and now they say it won’t be ready until the fall,” Austin said.

“And this is the tax that is supposed to pay off the [provincial] debt, create that prosperity fund, pay for the carbon to come from the industry and also to com-pensate First Nations for pipelines going across their territory and still be among the lowest and most com-petitive [lNG] taxes in the world.

“clearly, christy clark has really oversold this and now she’s in trouble,” said Austin, adding the premier keeps repeating how much money the province will reap. “She’s caught up in her own rhetoric,” he said.

Pernarowski isn’t in favour of rent controls, preferring to let the market operate the way that it does, but does say it’s important to look beyond a pure business model.

“I always try to get people to consider commu-nity as well as bottom line in any sort of business situation,” he said. “It’s often tough to do because, again, it’s market driven – if somebody’s wanting to come in and pay $2,500 for a little basement suite and that’s what they can get to rent (that’s what they’re going to do).”

Pernarowski is confident landlords will be able to make up for any lost returns when the economy here was depressed as industrial activity here con-tinues to pick up.

“We’ll have lots of opportunity over the many years forward to take really good advantage of the economic development and activity in our region and in our city,” he said. “There’s going to be many years for landlords to make up for some of the lost years that rents were relatively low in Terrace.”

Landlords will dowell, says mayor

By ANNA KILLEN

Terrace cITy councillor and Terrace and District community Services Society advocate Stacey Tyers hears from people struggling with housing every day.

“It’s horrible out there,” she said. “you just have to look in the paper at the ads to see how much (rental units) are going for now.”

and one trend she struggles with is an increase of renters being evicted for renovations.

“There are legal evictions for renovations, and then there’s using it as a tool to get rid of people to up your rent,” she said, noting an illegal eviction attempt typically follows an attempted illegal rent increase – a landlord is only allowed to increase rent a set amount during a tenancy, but can increase it as much as he or she wants in between tenancies.

In order to evict for renovations legally, “a land-lord is required to have their building permits in place, the renovations need to be so extensive that it requires vacant possession, and it comes with a two-month notice with one-month compensation,” she said.

Tyers says it’s understandable that landlords will want a return on their investment. “They have a right to renovate their properties, they have a right to expect profits for their investments... It’s tough because there are legitimate people on both sides.”

But landlords should also be cautious – she always tells landlords that there’s benefit to long-term, good tenants. and while she said she is con-fident the city has done everything it can do to im-prove the rental situation, she wants to see more help from the provincial and federal governments.

“Lack of housing is a barrier to economic growth,” she said, noting the high housing costs are chasing the average renter out of town and are a hindrance to people who want to move here for work. “If people can’t move here to fill those jobs, if people can’t move here to work here, we won’t be able to keep growing.”

Evictions on the rise,says poverty advocate

City eyes mini parks

STAFF PHOTO

A smAll section of provincial crown land that now acts as a connect-ing lane between the 4400 blocks of little Ave. and Park Ave. could one day be a mini-park if a city plan comes to fruition.

RESIDENTS coulD one day enjoy a mini-park after council ap-proved a plan to ask the provincial government for two small pieces of provincial crown land.

The two parcels, one at 4444 Park Ave., the third lot east of the in-tersection of Park and clinton St. and which backs onto little Ave, and the other at 4400 Walsh Ave., which is a triangular piece of land at the corner of Walsh and Johnstone at the base of Terrace Moun-tain, have sat in limbo for years.

“It’s inexplicable why it’s there,” said city planner David Block of a road designation on the Park property dur-ing discussion on the topic at council’s Jan. 13 meeting.

This parcel has had the provincial road designation on it from 1912, however there is no documentation about why it was needed or who wrote the deed.

The park idea for the Park property arose in a report from sustain-ability coordinator Tara

Irwin who said the 0.05 hectares (510.19 sq. meters) space could contain benches and garden plots.

As for the other par-cel of land on Terrace mountain, the city will survey the land in order to designate it within the city limits, with no immediate plans to alter it, said Irwin.

council’s approval of the plan to acquire

the land from the prov-ince came after a debate about a use for the two small areas.

Although the Park property had been tagged to become a small park, councillor Bruce Bidgood said it might be better used as a location for a small social housing develop-ment.

Marylin Davies said that green spaces with

benches are a nice ad-dition to a neighbour-hood.

city planner David Block said the closest park space to the area around the 4400 Block of Park now is the grassy area outside the Sportsplex.

The second small piece of crown land on Walsh is located by the Johnstone trailhead and is not maintained.

Police probe bat assaultRcMP SAy they are investigating a case in which a man assaulted two women with a bat.

The incident took place in the rural area of Terrace sometime dur-ing the period of 8 a.m. February 4 to 8 a.m. February 5.

Police also say they have spoken with numerous people regarding the incident and have received con-flicting versions of events.

The incident was one of 26 calls for service received by RcMP of-ficers here during that time period.

A4 www.terracestandard.com BUSINESS NEWS Wednesday, February 12, 2014 Terrace Standard

A CONSTRUCTION company that already has a partnership with the Haisla First Nation is expand-ing that relationship.

Ledcor Industries announced today that its Summit Aviation Group subsidiary and the Haisla have formed Summit Kitimaat Aviation Limited Partnership to provide aviation services within the Haisla Traditional Territory near Kitimat, British Columbia.

Summit, which flies helicop-ters and fixed wing aircraft, set up a base at the Northwest Regional Airport last year in response to the growing demand for air services tied to work being done on poten-tial natural gas pipelines, liquefied natural gas plants and other proj-ects.

“We are honoured to be select-ed as their partner and look for-ward to helping foster economic development within the Haisla

Nation,” stated Summit President Rob Mauracher.

Summit operates a fleet of he-licopters and fixed wing aircraft based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories in addition to its equip-ment in Terrace.

The company has 28 aircraft altogether.

“We are extremely proud of this new partnership in the avia-tion space, and see a great future with Summit and its senior leader-ship team in the Kitimat region,” commented Henry Amos, Chair-man of the Haisla Economic De-velopment Committee.

“This aviation deal extends an already well-functioning partner-ship Ledcor has with the Haisla and we look forward to growing together,” added Paul McElligott, President of Ledcor Resources and Transportation, Summit’s parent company.

Although Austin says he has no direct knowledge of the in-teraction between companies and the province, he suspects the negotiations to establish the tax aren’t going well. And, in turn, that’s what’s causing the delay.

Provincial finance minister Mike de Jong, in announcing the delay Feb. 5, said there will be some information on a LNG tax framework as part of the provin-cial budget Feb. 18.

But it is not expected to con-tain exact details.

The finance minister did say the sooner a LNG tax plan could be presented, the better it would be for companies.

Beginning with the May 2013 election campaign and onward, Premier Christy Clark has said a LNG tax would lead to a prosper-ity fund of $100 billion and that the industry itself would create

as many as 75,000 jobs.Kitimat could be the location

for three LNG plants and Prince Rupert at least two more based on the current number of compa-nies active in the area.

All but one of the plants, a small one planned for Kitimat which would use the existing

Pacific Northern Gas pipeline, would require pipelines deliver-ing natural gas from northeastern B.C. fields.

The small one, called BCLNG which is partially owned by the Haisla of Kitamaat Village near Kitimat, has had its environmen-tal clearance for several years but has yet to announce a final investment decision.

Austin said that one of the selling points for a LNG indus-try in B.C., a stable government, is also a selling point for other countries such as the United States and Australia who have plans of their own.

“And let’s not forget that with-in companies themselves, these are not their only LNG projects here. There’s competition inter-nally for capital. Companies will go to where they can make the most money,” said Austin.

Training office opens doorsBy JOSH MASSEY

AREA FIRST Nations peo-ple ready for a career in any one of a number of promis-ing industrial projects in the region now have the assis-tance of a training agency.

The B.C. Aboriginal Mine Training Associa-tion (BCAMTA) officially opened its Lakelse Ave. of-fices Feb. 7.

Its function is to guide and support aboriginal peo-ple toward employment in the mining and exploration sectors.

“Terrace is the hub of many developments slated to progress in the North-west,” explained Tony Har-ris, BC AMTA northwest operations manager who lives in Smithers.

“Most importantly there’s a large and latent workforce yet to be developed here of our aboriginal friends and neighbours. That’s why I am here.

“There’s a reality of the shortage of skilled labour across the north and most importantly the recognition by industry, government, and society in general that we have to seriously consid-er the rights and titles of our First Nations and include them in developing business and employment opportuni-ties that might become avail-able,” said Harris.

He told industry repre-sentatives who attended the office opening to consider BCAMTA as an extension of their human resources de-partments.

Programs offered through BCAMTA include basic lit-eracy and numeracy to life skills and job readiness.

Industry presence in-cluded reps from Geotech Drilling Services in Prince George and Driftwood Dia-mond Drilling in Smithers.

Vice president of op-erations for the proposed Avanti Molybdenum mine in Kitsault, Jeff Lowe, was also in attendance, promot-

ing his company’s vision of local hiring. Approval for its project involved a local hire commitment.

“BCAMTA is giving us a more direct link to the skills that match up with what we need. They won’t provide our full training program, but it will be the first step in matching us up with the skills we are looking for, for processing, equipment operation and technical

skills around environmen-tal monitoring, engineering and other support activities. If we can find them locally it will give us a more stable workforce,” said Lowe.

According to Michelle Nahanee, manager of mar-keting and communications for BCAMTA, in kind dona-tions like training simulators from Northwest Community College that were on display during the office opening,

make up a large part of the operations overhead.

BCAMTA finds value in striking relationships with institutions such as North-west Community College, she said.

The federal government’s Skills Partnership Fund gives the BCAMTA 60 per cent of the money it needs and the rest comes from partnerships with industry in the form of direct financing

and in kind donations.Since its start in 2010,

2,300 aboriginal people have signed up for BCAM-TA training. Of that number, 700 have found work in 150 companies.

The first BCAMTA of-fice opened in Kamloops in 2010.

Terrace isn’t BCAMTA’s first office in the region. A satellite office was opened in New Aiyansh in 2013.

So far 120 people have signed up in the Northwest and eight have since been hired.

Nahanee said that the goal is to have hundreds of aboriginal people enroll for training through the asso-ciation in the Northwest to benefit from the long term guidance and training being offered.

City councillor Mary-lin Davies also spoke at the opening, saying that she hoped that having local ab-originals in the mining in-dustry would help ensure responsible stewardship of resources and that future generations are sustained.

“You have a wonderful sense of home, which I am afraid the white commu-nity does not usually have. We are going to have a core group ‘home’ people who understand how important it is to protect what we have been given in this wonderful land,” said Davies.

The program website ac-knowledges that skills in the mining and exploration sec-tors can also be transferred to other industries.

Made in TerraceA look at what a deal with Chinese manufacturers could mean for the local economy

By Josh massey

If premIer Christy Clark and her provincial Liberal government are

banking on liquefied natural gas as a route to prosperity, a much smaller road map to prosperity conceived by the City of Terrace and the Kit-selas first Nation could one day take hold here.

Based on a broad agree-ment signed between the two and the state-owned Qinhuangdao economic De-velopment Zone last fall, the latter could set up manufac-turing facilities on as much as 1,000 acres of land it would buy within the Skee-na Industrial Development park located off of Hwy37 south of the Northwest re-gional Airport.

It’s part of a swing away from now-familiar “made in China” tags on any number of products.

more and more Chinese companies are choosing to set up in countries with cheaper land closer to end markets to save on, for ex-ample, shipping costs.

Terrace is one of the first places in British Columbia to be approached by Chinese manufacturers drawn by the affordable land zoned heavy industrial that offers unfet-tered access to the North American marketplace with rail, highway and sea close by.

The prospect of selling a large section of the industri-al park, approximately half of the land currently avail-able, is what drew a delega-tion of Terrace and Kitselas political and governmental representatives to China last fall.

Terrace and Kitselas are partners at the park, agree-ing to split profits from land sales once expenses are ac-counted for.

Based on an average $10,000 an acre from previ-ous land sales at the park, a deal for 1,000 acres could bring in $10 million to the city and Kitselas.

A key feature of the agreement between Terrace and Kitselas will be build-ing up a water infrastructure fund so the city can supply water to the location.

City planner David Block

says providing water is a key cost consideration.

“The city’s sale of indus-trial land there has always been premised on land be-ing sold with a portion of the sale price allocated to a wa-ter infrastructure fund.

“The only revenue to come out of it is the in-creased taxation. That’s where the city and Kitselas will see some profit,” said Block.

But if this potential devel-opment really is what previ-ous Terrace mayor Jack Tal-stra called the “big fish” that justifies the city’s long term investment in the industrial park, then what might land-ing it look like and what are the implications of having a large foreign manufacturing presence come to town?

According to Kenny Zhang, a senior analyst from the Asian pacific founda-tion, this type of prospec-tive development would be unique in B.C.

The upshot for Chinese companies doing business in Canada is that many of the complications associ-ated with international trade are solved by inhabiting the economy in which the prod-uct is to be sold.

“It’s like moving into a fully furnished house,” said Zhang.

“Things manufactured here have much more ready access to the North Ameri-can market. They don’t have to go through import restric-tions,” added Block.

However, there exists a new set of hurdles that a for-eign developer must over-come.

“Whether this model will work or not is very much conditional on how the local businesses will react. Will they treat them like another part of the business [com-munity] or treat them differ-ently,” Zhang cautioned.

How the local commu-nity will react depends on what type of manufacturing outlets could open at the in-dustrial park and how many jobs they can guarantee to the local labour force. Cur-rent Terrace mayor Dave pernarowski is already try-ing to allay fears that a flood of foreign workers will take jobs away from locals, dedicating a section of his November/December 2013 newsletter to the issue.

According to the provin-cial program that guides the entry of the foreign compa-nies into B.C. a foreign com-pany opening up in Canada

can bring in key staff mem-bers from abroad.

But three jobs have to be created for local people for every key staffer being brought in. These staff mem-bers can then be fast-tracked to become full permanent residents after an initial two-year work permit is issued.

This three-to-one rule should provide relief to residents who worry about a situation where tempo-rary foreign workers run the manufacturing outlet at the expense of local jobs, ac-cording to the mayor.

“Our federal immigra-tion laws and the provin-cial nominee program are designed to ensure we are protected and gain maxi-mum benefit from this type of international investment,” wrote pernarowski.

pernarowski, along with Kitselas chief councillor Joe Bevan, led the delegation of Terrace and Kitselas offi-cials to Qinhuangdao, a trip that was hosted and partially sponsored by Chinese busi-ness and state powers.

Led by interpreters, the group toured various manu-facturing outlets—wood

processing, healthcare equipment design and test-ing facility, aluminum prod-uct production, and agricul-tural processing.

The group also toured a pipeline construction facil-ity.

Of all the industries toured by the group, Bevan said the aluminum wheel manufacturing looked the most promising.

With rio Tinto Alcan producing raw material next door in Kitimat and with the North American buyers in close proximity, Bevan said he could easily see alumi-num products being devel-oped here.

“That seemed to be a re-ally good fit,” Bevan said about the potential for an aluminum wheel manu-facturing plant in Terrace. “There’s Kitimat right down there who is an aluminum manufacturer. These guys need aluminum to do these wheels. They sell them all to General electric so it makes sense they would move that business to here.”

There’s also the potential for a forestry based industry that would add value to the

area’s forest resources.Bevan said the Chinese

have had their eye on Terrace for several years and that he expects an investment deci-sion to be made soon.

“They have obviously done the math and decided, hey, why don’t we just cre-ate that business over there in North America where the raw resources are instead, so we don’t have to ship back and forth. They could have gone anywhere in North America but they chose here,” he said.

“If I know China, they don’t make a move unless

they know this is a for sure thing,” added Bevan, who has experience doing busi-ness with Chinese com-panies from his time with a local forestry company, Kalum Ventures.

“They seemed very long term. Where we talk about 20 years as a long time, they are saying 30, 40, 50 years,” said Bevan.

“They’re going to push hard and probably in the spring they are going to make a decision,” he added.

A visit here by the Chi-nese is possible before a deal is struck.

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

THERE’S something vaguely dis-quieting about the City of Terrace’s purchase of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce’s log build-ing on Hwy16 and the land upon which it sits.

For approximately 30 years, the chamber paid an annual rent of $1 a year to the province which owned the land. This came to the end when the province, after several false starts, put the land up for sale. That suited the chamber until it discovered the land would � rst be offered to the city, an offer the city gladly took up.

The city then increased the cham-ber’s rent to a level the chamber could not afford, ultimately resulting in the chamber selling its building to the city and moving to new quarters.

In the end, this may not be such a bad idea. The chamber is freed of maintenance of a building and re-sponsibilities of being a landlord – the Kermode Tourism Society rents space in the building.

But the land and building purchas-es have added nearly $270,000 to the city’s debt load, not an insigni� cant amount for a municipality which struggles to � ll potholes every year.

More importantly, all this was done without the city disclosing its plan to taxpayers. With all six city councillors and the mayor in favour of this project, it’s odd that none took the time to explain what was going on and why it was a good idea.

Was something here so broken that it needed to be � xed? A good question for an election year.

EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, February 12, 2014 Terrace Standard

I grew up in a time when attending church or a funeral called for for-mal dress. Men wore

suits. And though a woman might have been scraping by, still she managed to own a stylish hat, gloves (if need be, discretely mended), and a skirt decorously covering knees or mid-calf.

My mother owned one formal black dress she re-served for funerals. It was sewn from a rough crepe material that produced a scratching sound when she moved. Epaulets thickened by Oreo-sized rosettes fash-ioned from hard twist #10 crotchet thread could have thwarted a pirate’s sword.

Such formality has been tossed into the rag bag. To-day in dress and decorum anything goes.

Recently North Shore Search and Rescue leader Tim Jones was honoured with a blocks long memo-rial parade of SARS mem-bers, paramedics, � re� ghters and other � rst responders � anking ambulances and � re trucks. Throughout, on-lookers – mostly respectful – clogged both sides of the street, there to honour a man who devoted much of his pri-

vate time to saving the lives of people, more than one of whom had knowingly ig-nored the rules for safely en-joying the outdoors to soon � nd themselves lost and in need of imminent rescue.

Yet among the sombre crowd stood one young woman devouring a bear claw. Not even for the mo-ments it took for the parade to pass her by could she sus-pend sustenance. It’s a won-der she wasn’t snapping pho-tos and texting with her free thumb at the same time.

But she’s not the � rst per-son I’ve noted defying the decorum of a sad solemn oc-casion.

Back in mid-August, 2011, when a visitation was held at a funeral home for gunned down gangster Jona-than Bacon, news media cap-tured leaving visitors in their funeral � nery: men in tee shirts with wild designs and nasty slogans, wearing back-wards baseball caps.

One matron had stuffed herself into a dress short enough to satisfy a Vegas headliner with a neckline so low she threatened to spill over like Janet Jackson’s memorable wardrobe mal-function at a Superbowl half-time.

Bacon’s fashion-liberated family started me noticing other examples of dress-as-you-please during formal occasions. Less than a week later, Jack Layton’s body lay in state in the Parliament Building so Canadians could � le past expressing their re-spect and admiration for the man.

Dismayed by the ward-robe choices as I watched the queue inch forward, I reminded myself Ottawa is a tourist town, just then at the peak of tourist season, and many visitors/mourners might plan to spend the re-mainder of the day soaking

in the sights and partaking of the city’s unique activities.

Walking shorts or golf course attire predominated. Younger folk carried back-packs. Women dressed in romper suits, short shorts, and barely-there spaghetti strap or strapless tops, the range of colours and patterns inspired by a tropical bird aviary.

That’s when I concluded times have surely changed. Whereas I always begged off attending funerals for lack of conventional attire, that is no longer a valid excuse. From here on if someone offers me a ride to such an event, even if they spring the invitation on me – perhaps I’m mow-ing the lawn – all I have to do is brush the pine needles out of my hair, shake grass clip-pings from my sneakers, and I’ll be ready to go.

“What if you haven’t had lunch yet?” you ask. No reason to go hungry or dis-rupt the quiet occasion with tummy rumblings. I can take along a sandwich and eat it while I queue past the cof� n. So long as I use cheese rather than tuna or kielbasa, no one will raise an eyebrow unless I drop crunchy crumbs un-derfoot or on the deceased.

Dressing down is the new dressing up

First Nations key to NDP win in Skeena

Terrace Standard Wednesday, February 12, 2014 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7

Being an unrepentant political junkie, I dove into the official May 2013 provincial elec-

tion numbers released last month by Elections BC with enthusiasm.

What makes these fascinat-ing is they give you not just the total tally for Skeena for the can-didates but also break down the votes into very specific areas.

So it is possible to see which way people voted in a group of a dozen or so streets on the Bench, in the Horseshoe and on the Southside.

Don’t worry, I’m not about to get that crazy.

But what I do want to do is look at trends over a longer time-line than the usual comparison between the past election and the one immediately before.

So I am going back into the last millennium – specifically the 1996 election – to see if voting patterns have changed in the in-tervening 17 years.

I have chosen that year be-cause the face of Skeena was quite different back then, as in

there was still something of a logging industry in Terrace while Kitimat boasted three major in-dustries.

By last year’s election, Terrace had seen its forest industry all but vanish while Kitimat had suf-fered the closure of the Eurocan pulp and paper mill and Meth-anex methanol plant plus numer-ous jobs bleeding away from its only remaining industry, the alu-minum smelter.

The idea was that compar-ing 1996 and 2013 should tell us what impact, if any, there had been from the de-industri-alization of the Northwest as far as the fortunes of the two major parties – the provincial Liberals and the New Democratic Party – were concerned given unionized industries usually translate into extra NDP votes.

A couple of explanatory notes.First, I have concentrated on

the two major population centres of the riding – Terrace/Thornhill and Kitimat – since they theoreti-cally would decide who won.

Second, I will deal only with

margins of victory in those cen-tres because looking at total votes will give a false picture given voter turnout plunged from about 70 per cent in 1996 to 55 per cent last year.

Third, I have not included the advanced poll results in those margins of victory because you cannot pin them down to a spe-cific community.

Enough of the explanations, let’s get to the meat.

In 1996, the contest was be-tween NDP incumbent Helmut Giesbrecht of Terrace and Liberal Rick Wozney, then mayor of Kiti-mat.

In Terrace/Thornhill, Wozney won by 197.

In Kitimat, it was Giesbrecht by 212.

So the battle of the centres went to the NDP by a mere 15.

In 2013, it was another NDP incumbent, Robin Austin, up against Liberal Carol Leclerc.

In Terrace-Thornhill, Leclerc won by 289.

In Kitimat, it was Austin but by only 33.

Liberals prevail by 256, a stunning reversal but clearly the result of that de-industrialization I mentioned earlier.

Now compare that with the overall Skeena vote where in 1996, Giesbrecht won by 635 and in 2013, it was Austin by 522.

How is it that the Liberals can actually win (or come oh so close) in the major centres but get thumped overall?

Two words: First Nations.

In 1996, Gitanyow pumped up the NDP margin by 100.

In Gitwangak, it was 130, in Kitsumkalum 103 and Kitamaat Village 244.

And the pattern was repeated in 2013.

The obvious conclusion is that even though the de-indus-trialization of the Northwest has favoured the Liberals in the ma-jor centres, they are never going to win Skeena unless there is a seismic shift in the First Nations vote.

Which would in turn require an equally dramatic shift in the BC Liberal Party’s approach on aboriginal issues.

And that would, in turn, re-quire an equally dramatic shift in First Nations’ perception of the BC Liberals as being less sympathetic to their political and economic interests than the New Democrats.

Frankly, I don’t see that hap-pening anytime soon.

ONCE plENtiful, for rent signs can be a rate sight in terrace and area nowadays.

Can barely afford to live hereDear Sir:

I am a resident of Terrace and am in the need of a rental.

I am a “regular” working class citizen.

I do not work for Rio Tinto Alcan or the expansion or any of the camps in or around Ter-race area.

The rent that is being charged in Terrace and Kitimat is atrocious for us “working class” citizens.

I simply cannot afford the rent being demanded from landlords around town.

I understand taking advan-tage of the boom happening

right now but it is making day to day living impossible for us regular old “working class citi-zens.”

Rent bills and groceries for a family is running close to $3,000 a month.

And when you make $1,800 a month, it makes it hard to

decide to make sure your chil-dren have heat or food this month, or even to have a roof over their heads.

I have lived here for 16 years now and am not a happy citizen of Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir:I would like to congratulate The Terrace Stan-

dard for printing Jim Benson’s well-thought-out angling feature, “All about the fish” in the Jan. 29, 2014 edition.

It is a refreshing change from the elitist, sarcas-tic point of view often presented by your regular angling columnist, who in the last months has made great efforts to deliberately vilify hunters, forestry workers, PNG employees, guide outfitters, fisheries biologists, and most fishermen.

I fully support Mr. Benson’s point of view that sport fisherman need to band together to maintain our great fishing heritage and protect fish stocks.

The enemy is not, as Rob Brown seems to think, average people who work in our area and eat the fish they catch.

Your average angler is concerned about con-servation can contribute, if they can be engaged. Maybe it just takes an outside perspective to figure out how.

Tim Moser, Terrace, B.C.

Fish needangler help

Dear Sir:A number of us at Ksan Society were not sur-

prised when we read the letter to the editor from Kamloops regarding the Terrace Peewee rep hock-ey team. A handful of the team chose to do some volunteer work at Ksan before Christmas.

We have a button machine and they made hun-dreds and hundreds of “Hands are Not for Hitting” and “Words are Not for Hurting” pins, they cut out thousands of hot pink shirt stickers for anti-bully day and they did posters for the emergency shelter.

If this team is an indication of our future - we have a very bright future ahead of us. They are defi-nitely on life’s ‘A’ team.

Carol Sabo, Terrace, B.C.

Politicos across terrace, the province, and canada have a myriad of theories of what went wrong for the NDP in last year's provincial election.

But while many pon-dered from the outside, terrace's 28-year-old Pam sihota got an in-side look as a newly-ap-pointed member of the NDP executive and one of five people in the par-ty plucked to be a mem-ber of a panel tasked with looking at what happened last May.

What happened can't be boiled down to one thing, she said.

“it's just not any one thing that we can point to – we couldn't go, ah, Kinder Morgan, that's it! – there were just so many factors,” she said. the report lists 41 rec-ommendations, with si-hota noting polling was a big issue, as was voter apathy and typical NDP supporters not voting because they thought an NDP win was a sure thing.

But she does have some ideas on how the party can grow going forward – improved communication and engagement being the main one, not only be-tween the party higher ups and its members, but between the rural areas of the province and the urban areas.

sihota, who clarifies she has no relation to NDP leader Mo sihota (“Not related, there's a billion of us in india, come on!”), has been tied to the NDP for the majority of her adult life – Nathan cullen was the first person she voted for at 19 before taking a break from B.c. to take her under-grad in alberta.

When the 2009 pro-vincial election came around, she was back in terrace and became heavily involved with skeena NDP Mla robin austin's cam-paign and attended her first NDP convention.

“that really solidi-fied my involvement with the NDP and me realizing that this is the party that best reflects who i am, my values and my political lean-ings,” she said.

then it was back to

school – this time study-ing law in England – but she eventually made her way back to terrace, where she's converting her degree, working at a local law office, and planning to article next year.

Being back in ter-race, she resumed at-tending local NDP ex-ecutive meetings and helping out with aus-tin's re-election cam-paign.

austin was glad to have her back – he hadn't expected her to return, saying “usually when people go away to get law degrees they don't come back to their small town beginnings.”

“Her values are very much in the right place,” he said. “it's a real hon-our having her coming on to our executive.”

it wasn't hard for austin to give her a positive reference when the NDP approached him about sihota as a potential member of the post-election panel – he noted her critical, ana-lytical mind, and also pointed out that it would be great to get the per-spective of a rural area and of the younger gen-eration.

“it's nice to have the next generation of people thinking about politics,” he said. “i think a lot of people just get busy with their lives and don't spend a lot of time getting involved in the day to day running of politics and public policy issues, and here's somebody who's got a really well trained mind who is active politically.

it's great, i'm thrilled to have her around and i learn lots from her be-cause she's able to con-nect me to what the next generation is thinking about.”

sihota spends a lot of time thinking about how to better engage her peers in politics, and that's one of the is-sues she wants to focus on as a member of the executive.

“i think sometimes, as young people, we forget,” she said. “We know and we do care – it's not like we don't care about things like taxes, education – but it's not until we hit our 30s that it really (begins to sink in).”

But the sooner youths get engaged on those issues, the better, she said.

“it actually does make a difference – i know it feels like it doesn't make a differ-ence, but if we don't engage and we don't get out, then how can we instigate change?”

she recognizes that the way her genera-tion engages is wildly different than the past – the message needs to be communicated with-in minutes, and while people are discussing ideas on social media that doesn't necessarily translate into direct po-litical engagement.

“How do we get you from tweeting articles, tweeting your opinion, posting stuff on Face-book and liking it, to actually putting on your coat and walking out the door and casting a ballot,” she said.

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the pest management plan applies. The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to treat wood structures with pesticides (“wood preservatives”) to protect and increase their service life and ensure the reliability and safety of the electrical system. The wood structures include, poles and associated equipment and any wood structures eg. helipads, fences, sign posts, walkways and bridges.

The PMP applies to those portions of the province-wide distribution, transmission and generation system that utilizes wood poles and structures and is owned or managed by BC Hydro. The BC Hydro service area encompasses all of British Columbia.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2019.

The trade names and active ingredients of the wood preservatives proposed for use under this plan include: copper naphthenate combined with sodium fluoride, Cop R Plastic or equivalent; copper naphthenate combined with borax, CuRap 20 or equivalent; copper napthenate, Cobra Wrap, CuNap-8 or equivalent; copper hydroxide, CuBor or equivalent; sodium fluoride, Pole Wrap or equivalent; metam sodium, Guardsman Post and Pole Fumigant 42% or equivalent; disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, Tim-Bor Professional, Impel rods, GenBor RTU, Boracol or equivalent; copper hydroxide, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate and boric acid in combination, CobraRods, Genics CuB or equivalent; copper hydroxide, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, zinc and boric acid, no product name; permethrin, Dragnet or equivalent; propetamphos, Catalyst or equivalent; chorpyrifos, Dursban or equivalent.

The proposed manners of applying the wood preservatives include: external bandage treatments, internal liquid, powder, foam and gel treatments, external liquid treatments (brush on), internal solid treatments (rods). Other management methods include stubbing and replacing wood poles and when installing new poles using pre treated poles and using plastic liners.

A draft copy of the proposed PMP may be examined in detail at: http://www.bchydro.com/safety-outages/trees-power-lines/managing-weeds-insects/wood-pole-treatment.html or in person at 1401 Kalamalka Lk Rd, Vernon BC; 18475 128th St, Surrey BC; 3333 22nd Ave, Prince George BC; or 1155 McGill Rd, Kamloops BC.

city of terrace corporate administrator Alisa thompson walks in front of city hall. the front will soon look a lot different thanks to wall renovations. on a longer term ‘to do’ list is a recon-struction of the main front entrance to the building.

City hall renos continueOUTSIDE rEnOva-TIOnS to improve the appearance and increase the energy efficiency at city hall are scheduled to continue this year.

Work on the back west wall took place last year and the south wall was renovated sev-eral years ago.

This year the front east facing wall is be-ing rebuilt and there are longer term plans to reconstruct the main entrance.

The work is being done for practical rea-sons to extend the life of the structure, which this year is 50 years old.

Public works direc-tor rob Schibli says the main entrance recon-struction will be a sepa-rate project.

“We have a separate capital budget item for an architectural design of the main entrance,”

said Schibli. “We have some concept ideas in house about how the entrance should be ren-ovated to improve ac-cess, energy efficiency and building appear-ance but require an ar-chitect refine and detail our concept.”

He said the design could be presented to council this year, with construction happening in a later year:

“Once the design is complete (and probably during the design pro-cess) the concept will be shared with council, the media and public. The entrance will be re-constructed in a future year.”

Schibli added that the look of the east wall will be similar to the work on the other walls.

“The east wall reno-vation is an insulation and building envelope

upgrade for energy ef-ficiency and building protection purposes and will not include the area around the existing main entrance,” he said. “The areas of the east wall to be upgraded this year will look similar to the new west wall when complete.”

a start date to the construction has yet to be set but the amount of $128,000 has been allocated for the work, Schibli added.

also scheduled is work on the north end of the building which contains the fire depart-ment. That includes renovations to the de-partment’s hose tower and renovations to the bays containing the de-partment’s fire trucks. That work is to cost $158,000.

at one time the structure also contained

the local rCMP detach-ment.

The NORThWeST Science and Innova-tion Society (NSIS) science fair returns to town in a couple weeks for students to show off their interest in science and what they learned with a project.

Students from kindergarten to Grade 12 are invited to enter for the chance to win prizes and show their projects to a wider au-dience at the regional competition.

The only difference is behind the scenes: NSIS no longer receives government fi-nancing so former NSIS executive director

Christine Slanz, who no longer works for the society, decided to put together the science fair with businesses and organizations spon-soring the event because of their interest in supporting students and science.

“Because NSIS and I believe that science fairs are so important, we are offering them this year,: said Slanz, adding she still works on several initiatives on behalf of NSIS so students still have opportunities to explore science studies and careers.

The science fair will run the same as al-

ways, she added.The sponsorship money covers medals

and trophies, draw prizes, the pizza lunch for the students, refreshments for the judges, and other administrative costs and any mon-ey left over will be kept for next year’s sci-ence fair, said Slanz.

For those interested, volunteer judges are still needed.

For more on the science fair in Terrace, including where to go for science project de-tails, see Community Calendar on page 12.

Science fair coming up

IF YOU’Re interested in fresh produce on your table, then the Kalum Community School So-ciety has the answer.

everyone is invited to sign up for the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project that’s starting its second year.

“We want at least 20 people signed up to get those delicious fruits and vegetables,” says Ag-atha Jedrzejczyk of the Kalum Community School Society.

In one week last year, mem-bers received local basil, new beet greens, kale, zucchini, 1.5 pounds of new potatoes, rasp-berries, lettuce, cherries, one pound of rhubarb, cherry toma-

toes and a dozen eggs. The next week was lettuce,

lemon balm, cherries, rutabaga, beets, beans – yellow, green and broad – and cucumbers, garlic and carrots.

“There’s no chance there will be no produce. Some years are better than others,” says Jedrze-jczyk.

For one payment of $500 or two payments of $250, due before March 15, you get 17 weeks of fresh produce, which also can include lip balm, jams and relish. It comes to about $30 a week, and if the pay-up-front price sounds like a lot, people can get together with a friend or

two and split the box of produce. The price is negotiated with

the farmers and producers. last year, there were 17 pro-

ducers involved with about a dozen people enjoying the fruits, and vegetables, of their labour.

If more people sign up, there will be more money and then more producers can sign up.

For example, Jedrzejczyk says if 100 people signed up, then that would add up to a $50,000 budget.

“It spreads the risk of a bad season, and shares the bounty of an exceptionally good growing season,“says Jedrzejczyk. “And the food is fresh and delicious.”

The advantage of paying in advance is then the farmers and producers know how much they can sell and they will grow more, she says.

“It will stimulate bigger lo-cal food production or even the emergence of new farmers,” says Jedrzejczyk. “That is the goal of CSA! The sad part of the farm-ers market is that farmers grow only the amount they know they will sell.”

So far, there are five paid members and two more have signed up. For more details, including how to sign up, see Community Calendar under PSAs on page 12.

A TELEGRAPH Creek man convicted by a jury on a sexual assault charge has been sentenced.

Kelly Quash, 27, was ordered to spend 22 months in jail followed by three years on probation with conditions and must not go to any place where it’s reasonable to expect youths under age 16 to be, or have any contact with anyone under age 16 un-less in the presence of a sober adult for � ve years.

He was convicted on one count of sexual inter-ference of a person under 16 in supreme court here June 21, 2013 after the jury deliberated for a little more than a day following a nine-day trial.

Quash will have to provide a DNA sample to police and abide by a 10 year � rearms prohibition.

He was acquitted on one count of sexual inter-ference of person under 14, found not guilty on two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference of a person under 16.

A stay of proceedings was ordered on one count of sexual assault. The charges spanned a period of time from June 2007 to October 2011.

A MAN will spend one year on probation for sev-eral theft charges from the past year.

Phillip Christopher Roy Wood was handed a suspended sentence with one year of probation with conditions on three counts of theft $5,000 or under and one count of break and enter with intent to commit offence in provincial court here Jan. 28.

A suspended sentence means passage of the sen-tence is suspended and if the person completes the probation period without breaking any probation conditions, the person is not brought back to court to be sentenced. Wood must pay restitution of $580 to a named person and provide a DNA sample to police. One count of fraudulently obtaining trans-portation was stayed by the court.

Police BriefsHorses on the loose

TERRACE RCMP reported these as a few of the calls they received from Feb. 5, 8 a.m. to Feb. 6, 8 a.m.

Two horses on the loose on Halliwell Ave. A man offered to keep them till their own-ers could be located in the morning. And a woman and her children were almost hit by a red car while crossing Haugland Ave. by Tet-rault St. This is an ongoing issue after school.

Teens � ghtBETWEEN FEB. 4, 8 a.m. and Feb. 5, 8 a.m., here’s some of what police dealt with.

A 13-year-old suffered minor injuries when she was held by a 15-year-old girl while a 12-year-old girl hit her in a � ght at McDonald’s. Police spoke with the people in-volved. And in a separate incident, a 13-year-old girl punched a 16-year-old girl in the face four times.

Man bites copBETWEEN FEB. 3, 8 a.m. to Feb. 4, 8 a.m., police were called to an assault after a man pushed a woman in defence when he thought she was a witch attempting to turn him into a cat and stab him with spiritual daggers. Po-lice spoke with the people involved.

A police of� cer was bitten while wak-ing a man to check on him after police were called to Gitaus for a 31-year-old intoxicated man driving a blue minivan. When police pulled into Gitaus, they saw skid marks go-ing into the ditch and the blue minivan on its roof. Nobody was in the van. Police went to the driver’s residence and tried to wake him when he turned and bit the of� cer. He was arrested and the vehicle towed.

RCMP aRe looking for a 2012 CanaM Side by Side dune buggy-type vehicle stolen Feb. 4 from a shop on Keith ave. by one man.

The vehicle is described as a yellow, 2012 Canam Commander 800 with the following add ons: a roof half windshield; Pro-armour doors; an aftermarket brush bumper; aftermarket a-arm guards; and a Rigid 10” Light.

People with information on this crime are asked to contact the Terrace RCMP at 250-638-7400 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers by telephone at 1-800-222-TIPS, online at www.terracecrimestoppers.ca or by texting TeRRaCe plus your message to 274637 (CRIMeS).

If your information leads to an arrest, you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

a ReGIONaL conser-vation group is expand-ing efforts to broaden its financing base.

a major contributor of Terrace-based Skee-naWild Conservation Trust is phasing out its support over the next two years, meaning it needs to diversify its revenue sources, says trust employee Julia Hill.

The San Francis-co-based Gordon and Betty Moore Founda-tion (Gordon Moore is a co-founder of the Intel Corporation which pio-neered the development of microchips leading to the explosion in person-al computing devices) had a specific program to promote wild salmon initiatives, something that fit SkeenaWild’s work to build Skeena River salmon popula-tions, but is now turn-ing its attention to food security issues in South america.

“We’ve been incred-ibly fortunate and the foundation has been very good, but now it’s shifting its focus,” said Hill.

Now seven years old and with six people on staff, SkeenaWild has an annual budget in the neighbourhood of $500,000.

The Moore founda-tion, depending upon the specific activities of SkeenaWild each year, provided as much as half of its budget, Hill added.

“Our mission is very much science and re-search and we can say our work has resulted in an increase in fish popu-lations,” she said. “Fish-ery resource issues may not be sexy and it isn’t sexy work but it is im-portant.”

SkeenaWild has also received money from american clothing gi-ant Patagonia, Moun-tain equipment Co-op and the Northern Sav-ings Credit Union.

SkeenaWild has also sold clothing with its logo, something that’s gone over well, said Hill.

“We have been reaching out to the community and we are feeling supported in our work on salmon conser-vation but now our task is to translate that into financial support,” she added.

To that end, Skeen-

aWild is now selling a limited edition print cre-ated by local artist Joe Mandur Jr. It’s available at SkeenaWild’s offices and at the Flying Fish.

It’s called “every-thing is One” and dem-onstrates how connect-ed everything is within the Skeena watershed, said Mandur.

drivewayBC.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat drivewayBC.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

From rather ordinary to rather extraordinaryTampa, Florida – Being the best at something is an achievement, and doing it repeatedly is impressive. The Honda Civic’s 16-year streak as the best selling passenger car in Canada is nothing short of astounding. For the introduction the 2014 Civic, Honda chose usually sunny and hot Tampa, to introduce their latest update. It was sunny but anything from hot, with overnight temperatures near freezing. Honda has been improving the Civic continuously since the 7th generation model was introduced as a 2012 mod-el. Last year, for 2013, they updated the styling, handling and interior of the 2013 model and now for 2014 they are at it again.

LooksThe styling focus for 2014 is on the coupe. Roughly 15 per cent of all Civics are sold as a coupe, the most dominant player in the small coupe market. Last year, this sedan received updates to the front and rear styling to help make it look more upscale and sophisticated, and this year the coupe gets a similar update to the front and back, but the changes are meant to provide a sporti-er look with a bit more aggression. The most aggressive version of both

the sedan and coupe is the SI model that gets an even more forceful grille and front bumper design plus a rear spoiler and lower air diffuser. Wheel sizes have also changed with the regular coupe receiving 16-inch wheels, up from 15-inches, and the SI now bumps the size from 17-inches to 18-inches.

InsideOne of the reasons that the Civic is the best selling car in Canada is the practical, yet sporty interior in both the sedan and coupe. Many people, including me, didn’t initially like the split dash with the speedometer on the top and the ta-chometer on the bottom, but over time this design has proven to be a winner. I was wrong. The split design now incorporates more information to see without having to take your eyes off the road. The trip computer and other functions like radio station information are just below the front window. In

addition, the front seats are very supportive and the steering wheel is low and small for a racy feel. What is new for both the sedan and this coupe is the introduc-tion of Display Audio system that is available on the EX and Touring models. This is a large iPad-like touch-screen design that lets the driver access many functions from the radio to apps that piggyback off your iPhone. (No Android apps yet but they are working on this.) This taps into the power of your phone, in the big screen, with full

integration. I liked the speed and func-tion of the design but really missed a rotary dial to adjust the volume over a touch screen volume design. Yes, there is a volume control on the steering wheel but one next to the radio would complete the package.

DriveHonda has made one small change and one big change to help with fuel economy. The small one is the exhaust system has been adjusted in both the sedan and coupe to let the engine breath better, improving horsepower slightly from 140hp to 143hp. The big change is the introduction of an in-house continuously variable transmis-sion (CVT), replacing the old 5-speed automatic. This actually makes this little car more drivable and might be the best CVT on the market. The car snaps away from a stop and cruises with ease on the highway, with quick changes

in the gear ratio that helps mimic a conventional automatic design. In addition, there is a sport mode and paddle shifters on the steering wheel to help liven things up. Honda has done a first rate job here and their efforts have been rewarded with a six per cent improvement in city fuel economy and an overall drop from 6.2L/100km combined to 6.0L, something very hard to do with such a small car. The driving dynamics of the Civic has always been very good due to a fully independent suspension and willing engine. The 143hp is a nice match for this car and the CVT is a great comple-ment. The 5-speed manual is a blast to drive but it could use a 6th gear on the highway, as the high-revving engine can get noisy. The steering is crisp and the car overall instills a high level of confidence.

VerdictHonda admits that their Civic might not be the top choice in every reason to buy a compact car but they are near the top in all categories. From fuel economy to reliability, resale value, cost of ownership and sportiness this car is a good choice. The many improvements made to the car over the past three-model-years, has taken the Civic from rather ordinary to rather extraordinary. They know how to make a good, solid, reliable car and for 2014t hings just got a little bit more interesting.

Picture this: You’re a teenager with a driver’s license, your wealthy parents have left you alone for the day and there has just been a huge snowfall. Turns out, they decided to take the SUV and the Porsche Carrera 4S is sitting all by its lonesome in the garage. All your friends are busy so you’ll need to make your own fun today. But how?The key to this stellar coupe, which generally remains under armoured guard, somehow surfac-es. Then you hear a voice calling your name. You look around and wonder if you’re imagining things or if the milk you drank for breakfast had expired.You look down and the key fob and it is speaking to you. Through its Ger-man accent you decipher words like, “traction control off,” “sliding sideways,” “car control,” and the best of all, “you won’t get in trouble.”Then giddiness over-comes your body. Your eyes widen. Your smile is uncontrollable.Before you know it you’re nestled cozily in the heated sport driver’s seat, looking where you want to go and having the time of your life; sliding sideways on a snow and ice track in a $140,000 sports car. Life is wunderbar. The best part about this teen-age dream is that it’s not a teenage dream.It’s a reality. For those wanting to learn car control on a designated ice/snow track, it’s entirely possi-ble thanks to Porsche’s Camp4 training school. The track’s location is less than a couple of hours outside of Montre-al, Quebec at Mecaglisse. It’s a playground for the German automaker’s, rear-wheel drive 911 Carrera S and Cayman, along with the all-wheel drive 911 Carrera 4S. You’ll have the oppor-tunity to drive all three

vehicles in various parts of the facil-ity. Whether you are learning how to control over and understeer on the oval, or learning how to appropri-ately kick the back end out by blipping the throttle at the slalom, chances are, you’ll have a grin on your face the whole time.And if you spin out, you just keep going. The program commences with a driver’s briefing and drivers are intro-duced to their instructors. Proper seating position is explained and then it’s time to hit the track. Exercises are done with two people to each car, and each Porsche is equipped with radios that are linked together. That way, the instructor can talk to you and give you pointers while they observe what’s going on.Sometimes you get praise. Sometimes you get constructive criti-cism. It’s just part of the process. Two major points that were stressed in any of the exercises were: look where you want to go not where you are going and the tires can only do one job at a time.The latter means that if you are trying to brake and turn in tandem, chances are you won’t have the maximum amount of traction, and therefore, you can upset the balance of the car and possibly not execute the manouevre you were trying to do. Even if you do make a mistake, you just dust off the snow and try again.The Camp4 program originated in Finland in 1996 and has since been executed around the world. It’s hard to believe

how much you can learn in such a short amount of time. And how much your face will hurt afterwards! – That’s not even because of sub zero tempera-tures.The cost of Camp4 is $5,195

(plus applicable taxes.)

That includes three nights accommodation at The Esterel Suites & Spa (a luxury hotel in a near-by area,) two full days of driving and all your meals and transfers from the track.As I said, even if you mess up, you keep going. And no, you won’t get in trouble for having fun. It’s part of the learning experience.Visit www.porsche.com/canada-pde/en/winterdriving/ for more [email protected]

Mazda3 2010 to 2013 The new generation Mazda3 launched in 2010 was an immediate hit with Canadian compact car buyers.The car, available as a sedan or 5-door hatchback, is a nicely pro-portioned car with curvy styling lines, more defined front fenders and a distinctive (happy face) front air take.The zoom-zoom mind-set may not be used in the advertising today but it is still very much alive at Mazda and my enthusiastic as-sessment following a first drive was that it was “the most refined compact car I’ve ever driven.”This generation Mazda3 initially came in three trim levels GX, GS and GT. There’s also a high-performance edition called Maz-daspeed3. A hood scoop, which directs air flow to a turbocharged engine intercooler, gives the Madaspeed3 a more distinctive frontal appearance.Regardless of price, trim or potency, core elements of this ‘3’ are its light yet rock-solid body platform, combined with a sport-minded engineering theme. Its lighter and stiffer chassis has more high-strength steel and other enhancements to reduce body flex and combined with suspension changes the result is a tighter and better handling car.The GX and GS trim levels come with a 148-horsepower 2.0-litre engine that provides a nice balance of power and fuel economy, which is 8.1/5.9 L/100 km (city/highway). The GT comes with a 2.5-litre that can deliver 167 horsepower and it gets 9.2/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway).Mazda3, which was first launched in 2003, has been consistently one of the best selling cars in Canada and the Mazdaspeed3 variant typically accounts for less than 2 per cent of sales. That certainly makes it a harder car to find on the used car market and while prices generally tend to be premium they also vary considerably depending on condition and history. This generation Mazdaspeed3 is a more refined high-performer. It offers a more controlled unleashing of power from its turbocharged engine, yet it is still an extremely fast car. Changes to its drive shafts were designed to reduce torque steer (which still exists) and a torque-sensing limited-slip differential was added to the drive-train.

Mazda claims a top speed of 250 km/h and zero to100 km/h time of 6.1 seconds. Engine output (263-horsepower) is the same as the 2009, however it provides a more progressive release of torque that peeks at 3000 rpm and 280 lb-ft is available. Its fuel consumption rate is also faster at 11.5/8.0 L/100 km (city/highway).Inside there’s enough room for four, maybe five, adults provided those up front are willing to share leg room. There’s more cargo room in the hatchback, however, the added security offered by the sedan’s trunk might be preferred and used prices tend to be lower. The only significant change in 2011 was the inclusion of electronic stability and traction control as standard on all models. The 2012 model year brought the introduction of Mazda’s “Skyac-tiv” performance and fuel-saving technologies, offered initially on the mid-range GS trim line. A direct-injected 2.0L engine is mated to either a special 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic trans-mission. It also got a mild exterior and interior restyling job that included as updated (subdued happy-face) front grille. Mazda3 is highly rated by Consumer Reports for dependability, offers great value for the money and can certainly be one of the better buys on the used car market.Price Check: 2010 - 2013 Mazda3 (January 2014)Year Edition Expect to Pay Today2010 GS $10,000 to $13,0002011 GS $12,000 to $15,0002012 GS Sky $15,000 to $18,0002013 GS Sky $18,000 to $21,000Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase. Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2013 Mazda3:2010: Excessive heat inside the headlight housing where the Daytime Run-ning Light bulb is attached may cause a loss of functionality. Dealers will repair as necessary.2010: Insufficient clearance with the starter motor may eventually result in damage to an engine electrical harness and a possible short-circuit, in some vehicles. This can then cause an engine control malfunction, poor shift quality or the engine may stall or not start. Dealers will inspect the engine harness and, if necessary, install a protector [email protected]

Ringette players take aim

The TeRRace Kermode Peewee Reps went un-deafeated in Prince George’s Tier 2 tournament the first weekend in February, giving them a perfect reg-ular season tournament record after winning all six tournaments they competed in.

“It was a team effort for the weekend with some highlights,” said co-coach Kevin Marleau, of the tour-nament.

That includes cody Bailey scoring all four goals in the championship game against Grand Prairie Tier 2 and goalie Dalan Marleau earning the 4-0 shutout in the gold medal final – with a little help from Quinn Mulder who stopped one shot by diving behind his goalie to maintain the shutout.

“Our defence has been outstanding this year,” said Marleau.

a strong defence allowed the offence to perform over the weekend, with the team taking a 5-1 win over Grand Prairie Tier 3 in game one, a 6-2 win over Fort St. John Tier 2 in game two, a 7-3 win over Williams Lake – who have been tough competition all season –in Game three, and a semi-final 5-1 win over Prince George Tier 2 before the championship win over Grand Prairie Tier 2.

Peewee Reps go six for six

■ ChampsCaLeDonia’S Sr. Girls basketball team’s season is on the rise, with the team winning first place at the Val-leyview Classic tournament in Kamloops two weekends ago. the team beat the hom-eteam, Valleyview, 66-43, Correlieu 87-18, and Prince George Secondary 65-47 for the top spot. Guard annaig Benard was named mVP, and Khali Pelletier re-ceived tournament all star. Here’s the team after their win: Back row (left-right) ar-nie Pelletier (coach), Kaisa mikkola, Cassidy Kitchen, Khali Pelletier, Kavneet tut, Carly Davies, Shelley Klas-sen (assistant coach). Front row: anna Benard, Hannah Jay, Cassy twiname, anke deWit, Sarah Peden.

haLF OF the Bc Winter Games northwest zone ringette team ros-ter is made up of Terrace players, with nine teammates heading to Mission at the end of the month to compete with the best in the prov-ince.

The other nine players are from houston – and all 18 are used to sharing the ice in regular season play, either as competitors, or for some, as teammates on the north-ern aa team.

The team has really come to-

gether, agree coaches Jacque Dahl and Mike Giesbrecht, and since the roster has been solidified since Oc-tober, they’ve had plenty of time to get excited about the games.

“The kids are all really easy going and they seem to really get along, and they’re all so excited about going to the winter games,” said Dahl, who competed at the winter games in ringette in ‘90 and ‘91.

“I have lots of good memories of it,” she said.

Now the northwest players are set to make their own memories, with it being the first games ever for all of the players, and for many their first big tournament experience.

“For some of the girls that play aa they’re more used to it, but for the ones that haven’t yet, it’ll be really mindblowing how big the tournament is, how good the com-petition is. They’ve only seen the inter-league play, they haven’t seen how really good some ringette can be,” said Giesbrecht.

“It’s actually pretty exciting to just go down and watch some of the other teams too,” adds Dahl. “Some of the teams they’re pick-ing their teams from pools of 120 players... It’s phenomenal play.”

The team arrives in Mission on Feb. 19, practises the next day and then faces off against the Quesnel/Prince George zone on Feb. 21 – a team they’ve played against and one of the teams they expect to be competitive with.

“There are teams we’ll be com-

petitive with, which is nice,” said Dahl. “We have some really valu-able players, both in offence and defence, we have two goalies, which is nice, who are both strong. and it’s nice to go down with a full roster,” she said, noting that two years ago the team she took down had a roster of nine.

“We’ve got a really good mix of players, and we’ve got a couple of younger girls we’re taking along with us as well who will benefit from the experience,” she said.

Doug Webb and I have fished to-gether many times over the 35 years. Sometimes Doug will catch more fish. On others I will

catch more. One autumn day, the balance tipped heavily in my favour.

We were standing at the river surround-ed by salmon. We were after Cutthroat Trout. An egg pattern is the lure to use in those situations, and we were – Hugh Sto-rey’s sparse, small, and deadly single egg. Our flies were identical.

What made things even more uncanny was that we were fishing the same spots and we were both nymphing. In books on fishing technique, authors use the term nymphing to mean every which way to fish a representation of the underwater stages of an aquatic insect, which are appropriate-ly called nymphs after the mythical female nature deities.

In Skeena, we use the term more spe-cifically to describe that particular form of nymphing that requires the angler to cast his fly up and across at an obtuse angle then fish it back past him or herself on a dead drift. It’s a similar approach as the classic upstream dry fly cast first used hundreds of years ago on the fabled chalk streams there. The technique works because it en-ables the fisher to imitate the passage of a salmon egg that hasn’t made it into the gravel during the spawning. Trout lurking nearby vacuum up these errant eggs.

In the midst of this head scratching, Doug had an aha moment.

Did you weight your flies? he asked.

I always do.That’s it. I didn’t.And there it was. The

fact that I had wrapped 10 turns of the finest lead wire money can buy around the shank of my egg before adding the chenille body put it a few inches closer to the bottom than Doug’s and possibly slowed the speed of it’s passage almost imperceptibly. That was the difference between fooling a few fish and fooling a lot.

Not long after that in-structive day, I was wrapping up some eggs and noticed the newly purchased spool of lead had a warning sticker attached. I hadn’t seen such a warning on similar products before. I knew lead, like all heavy metals, wasn’t good, but surely handling a little bit wouldn’t kill a guy, I Googled it. Now I’m not so sure.

Each year, the American non-profit Blacksmith Institute publishes a ranking of the world’s worst toxins. Lead tops the list, followed by mercury, chromium, arsenic, pesticides and radionuclides. Buried deep in the ground, naturally occurring lead doesn’t pose much of a threat, but high lev-els of the heavy metal are released through

burning fuels, metal ore mining and other indus-trial processes.

Metal mining and manufacturing and chemical manufactur-ing industries in North America pump out near-ly three quarters of the 5.7 billion kilograms of toxic pollution released into the environment ev-ery year. The equivalent in weight to 8.4 million 150-pound people. Ca-nadian companies are the source of about 37 per cent of that total.

Lead builds up in your body over time in

your kidneys, liver, and bones. Lead is mu-tagen. It screws with your genes. Lead is teratogenic. It gets into placentas and de-forms fetuses. Lead buggers the immune system, it screws with the human brain causing a host of learning disabilities and hyperactivity, and causes a host of nasty cancers.

All of this has been suspected since the time of the Romans and has been well known for a long time. It was well known when the oil companies began putting lead in gasoline to improve performance and eliminate engine knock. They down played the risks, and we believed them.

You just have to look at the blankets of

smog enveloping major cities to realize that you couldn’t develop a better vehicle to transmit toxins than a car or truck driven by a combustion engine and equipped with an exhaust system. For decades, motor ve-hicles spewed lead into the environment where it found its way into water supplies and school playgrounds, and just about ev-erywhere else, including your body.

Crude oil contains a suite of toxic chemi-cals and it contains lead. There was plenty of lead in the crude that spilled from En-bridge Energy’s ruptured pipe into Tal-madge Creek and flowed into the Kalama-zoo River. But that was old pipe. The twin pipe that Enbridge wants to drive through our backyard will be the best pipe there is, writes Enbridge BC team leader, Janet Holder on the backside of last week’s paper.

Any pipe that can withstand avalanch-es, rockslides, and floods that have made mince meat of the existing pipeline must be some pipe indeed.

Janet Holder is part of the oil industry, the same people that brought you the Exx-on Valdez, the disaster in the Gulf, other marine disasters to numerous to mention, and leaded gasoline. These are the people funding disinformation campaigns deny-ing climate change to stall the shift to green energy so they might to continue to profit from the sale of filthy fossil fuels. Janet Holder is a snake oil salesperson spewing spin provided her by PR companies who mangle the truth for profits.

Why would anyone listen to her?

HAPPY TO be back in Terrace, Adrienne Montgomery, left, and Ariane Mundhenk, right, take a time out from their busy doctor residency schedule to tell the story of how they got here.

Docs call city homeBy JOSH MASSEY

LIKE MANY who choose Terrace as a place to put down roots, doctors-in-training Adrienne Montgomery and Ari-ane Mundhenk were drawn here because of the recreational values and strong community.

But if it wasn’t for a government pro-gram aiming to ease the way for physi-cians to live and work in the north, they might have landed elsewhere.

The Northern Medical Program is a physician training program based at the University of Northern British Colum-bia’s main campus in Prince George and is a satellite to the province’s main med-ical school at UBC in Vancouver.

After two years of training, students can come to either Terrace or Fort St.

John for the third year of their four-year medical degree after which they under-take a two-year residency program to fully qualify as physicians.

Both Montgomery and Mundhenk did their third year at Mills Memorial Hospital here in Terrace and both de-cided to do their residency program here as well.

“The idea is that if you train in a ru-ral area you will stay rural,” said Mund-henk.

Having partners who also had rural inclinations helped cement their deci-sions to return to Terrace, a town that might seem big by northern standards but is viewed as a bit of a backwater from the vantage point of Vancouver and other centres where most doctors train.

Doctors Greg Linton and Andrea Geller are re-sponsible for various facets of the physician training program in Terrace.

“Skiing was a huge draw for us,” said Mundhenk.

“My husband works in the ski industry, so it was important for us to be around the moun-tains. The outdoor stuff was huge.”

The provincial gov-ernment also has a series of financial in-centives to help set up practices and to top up fees, and while Mund-henk describes them as a “bonus,” it’s not the reason they’ve chosen to live here.

“Our partners are happy,” said Montgom-ery, who adds she was lucky to land a nice rental house.

Mundhenk, on the other hand, has already jumped into the lo-cal market by buying a house.

Montgomery de-scribes her experience here as fulfilling thanks

to the local medical community.

“I want to trust the people I learn from,” she added.

Their residency su-pervisor, Terrace physi-cian Greg Linton, said the return speaks to the success of the program.

“This year, with Ariane and Adrienne coming back to do their residency, we have seen some retention of our educational pool,” said Linton.

“They have done some time and are com-ing back for the next stage of their training.”

Linton himself has been a bit of a rarity among northern physi-cians in that he’s Cana-dian-trained.

It was the depen-dence of northern com-munities upon doctors trained elsewhere that prompted the call for the training of physi-

cians in the north.The first 24 students

were accepted into the Northern Medical Program in 2004 and in 2008, Mills Memo-rial Hospital welcomed the first third-year stu-dents.

Since then, 18 medi-cal students completed their third-year studies at Mills and six people have finished their resi-dency period.

There has been criti-cism that the money being spent on north-ern physician training has resulted in gradu-ates more interested in working down south or elsewhere in Cana-da and not following through with the intent of the program.

But Dr. Andrea Geller, one of two phy-sicians who directs the Terrace arm of the third-year clerkship program, says it’s far too early to

offer up any judgments.“What people don’t

realize is that after they finish their medical pro-gram, [graduates] have to go on to their resi-dencies that could be two to five years. It’s really early days yet for people to make those statements,” said Geller.

One of the advantag-es of doing a residency in a smaller hospital in a smaller community is the broad practical experience that comes from being exposed to all facets of medicine.

Students in the Northern Medical Pro-gram divide their weeks between psychiatry, obstetrics, emergency, general surgery and in-ternal medicine.

And sometimes they are allowed to help out on basic surgical proce-dures.

Terrace is also unique because family doctors, in addition to their private practices, regularly spend time with patients at Mills Memorial Hospital, said Montgomery.

“It’s been a really friendly community,” Mundhenk added.

“We’ve been well supported by the medi-cal community and the community in general.”

Students from the Northern Medical Pro-gram can also do their third-year clerkships in Fort St. John in addition to the hospital in Prince George.
