Gov’t buys a year’s peace with collegeBy ANNA KILLEN

NORTHWEST COMMUNITY College (NWCC) has been given a reprieve of one year to figure out how to deal with changes to how it offers high school equivalency courses.

The provincial government an-nounced Friday that it would give NWCC a one-time allocation of $494,000 for adult basic education (ABE) programs in 2015/2016, part of $6.9 million to be distribut-ed to colleges around the province.

That's the amount the college was set to lose from its operating grant when the ministry of ad-

vanced education announced late last year that colleges and universi-ties will no longer receive provin-cial money to provide ABE classes tuition-free.

Instead, beginning Jan. 1, 2015, colleges and universities could charge tuition fees for the courses.

And low-income students could then apply for provincial grants to cover all or part of that tuition and other costs.

Colleges and universities, as well as students' unions, pushed back at the move, saying that tu-ition-free ABE classes removed a significant barrier to education and was a critical step toward further

post-secondary learning opportu-nities.

“ABE is the gateway for thou-sands of B.C. students looking to take trades, nursing or business education,” said Steve Verblac, chairperson of NWCC's students’ union in a Feb. 3 release address-ing the program changes. “Cutting ABE funding and applying fees to high school courses will reduce the accessibility of this most important program. If this government is se-rious about providing more trained trades people, they would ensure ABE remains free.”

NWCC communications direc-tor Sarah Zimmerman said earlier

this month that the college did not anticipate it would be able to re-coup the expected reduction in its operating grant through charging tuition and was still assessing what dealing with student grant applica-tions might mean to its costs.

“However, with increased ad-ministration comes the potential for increased administrative costs,” she said.

And should the new program cut student numbers, the college would also have to examine what that means for its budget, she said.

Thanks to the money received, the college will spend the next year doing just that.

“Northwest Community Col-lege is grateful to receive this funding this year,” said Zimmer-man Friday following the govern-ment announcement. “This will be a transitional year for the ABE program as Northwest Community College addresses potential reve-nue and/or enrolment changes due to program restructuring.”

She said the college is continu-ing to work with the province on this issue.

But NWCC students' union organizer Mikael Jensen said the transitional year doesn't do any-thing to address the core issue.

Street stopshelp policeCHECKING UP on who is out on the streets at night is helping police officers deal with crime, the Ter-race RCMP detachment’s commanding officer told council here Feb. 10.

“The street checks are predominantly done in the overnight hours. Individuals are seen out and about walking around the streets of Terrace, an officer will approach them, ask them what they are up to and find out who they are,” said Inspector Dana Hart in presenting the detachment’s report for the last quar-ter of 2014.

It indicated 33 street checks were done and that officers conducted 107 foot patrols in the downtown core.

“It’s a record so that we have a very good way of determining who are some of our criminal ele-ment out especially with property crime, break and enters,” Hart added.

Policing in the downtown core has been given an emphasis by restoring the detachment’s crime re-duction unit.

It had been blended in with the detachment’s regular shifts but was restored last year and concen-trates on prolific and persistent offenders.

Constable Angela Rabut, the detachment’s media relations officer, in providing more information on the detachment’s priorities, said evidence indicates approximately 80 per cent of offences are commit-ted by 20 per cent of the offenders.

That follows the Pareto principle, named after an Italian economist, which states that 80 per cent of something come from 20 per cent of its causes.

The crime reduction unit “also works with other agencies in Terrace in a collaborative approach to reduce crime,” said Rabut.

A LOCAL man charged with smuggling stun guns into the country, thinking everything could be bought online legally, will pay a hefty fine.

Sheldon James Da-vidson, 31, was ordered to pay $2,500 by judge Calvin Struyk in pro-vincial court here Feb. 10.

Defence lawyer Jo-seph McCarthy told court his client did not pay attention to what was legal, assuming anything available on the internet was legal to buy, albeit foolishly.

“Ignorance of the law is no excuse. He repented, is contrite and will not do it again,” said McCarthy.

On April 16, 2012, Canada Border Ser-vices Agency officers at the Vancouver Interna-tional Mail Centre ex-amined a package from Hong Kong.

It was destined for a Terrace residential ad-dress, reported police at that time.

The parcel was de-clared as “electrical toys,” however, when

officers X-rayed it, it didn’t look like that so they opened the box and found 21 stun guns.

Twenty were found to be in the style of a flashlight and one was rectangular, said police.

Officers from the Prince Rupert Border Integrity Program was contacted and executed a search warrant at a residential address in Terrace April 27, 2012.

They were assisted by the RCMP’s North District Drug Section and the local RCMP detachment’s Terrace

General Investigative Section / Crime Reduc-tion Unit, said police.

During the search, a 28-year-old man was arrested and officers seized five additional flashlight-style stun guns with the word “po-lice” on them.

Davidson also has to forfeit the stun guns in the package and those found in his residence – a total of 26 stun guns.

A charge of ex-change/sell/purchase il-legally imported goods was subsequently stayed by the court.

TERRACE RCMP have recommended charges of manslaughter and criminal negligence causing death follow-ing the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old teen in a Molitor St. residence on the southside Feb. 9.

The recommen-dations to provincial Crown Counsel lawyers are part of the investiga-tion into the shooting which was reported to police at approximately 10 p.m. that evening.

The teen later died in hospital from his gun-

shot wound.A 16-year-old, who

was also at the resi-dence, was taken into police custody and later released to his parents on numerous condi-tions.

It is understood the two individuals knew each other and the pub-lic is not at risk as a result of this incident, said police.

RCMP officers are still trying to under-stand the circumstances of the tragic shooting.

“Terrace is a small

community and a tragic incident like this is felt throughout. There are a lot of questions as to what and why this has happened,” said Terrace RCMP Constable An-gela Rabut.

“The Terrace RCMP have committed all of our resources to investi-gating this incident and finding these answers.”

“All of the informa-tion that is gathered as part of the investigation is sent to Crown Coun-sel,” said Rabut. “In serious incidents, the

information is always going to be forwarded to Crown Counsel for their decision.”

The police victim services unit is continu-ing to work closely with the families involved, Rabut added.

Police are investigat-ing firearms offences as well, she said.

‘Epic’ event challenges crewsBy MARGARET SPEIRS

THE COMPANY respon-sible for rural roads and pro-vincial highways saw itself challenged with the heavy snowfall Feb. 5 and 6 but managed to keep up with the help of others.

“It was a big snowfall. It went as good as could be expected, a few challenges mostly with trees down and vehicles stuck on roads we couldn’t get our equipment around and power lines down and the like,” said Dan Beaulec, general manager for Nechako Northcoast, which is contracted by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to clear Thornhill roads, the high-ways and rural roads here.

“Once the power lines were out of the way and equipment could get around abandoned vehicles, we managed to get stuff clean.”

“It was described as an epic event,” he added, say-ing the last time that there was a similar amount of snowfall was in 1999.

He estimated that the cleanup cost for Feb. 6 to 8 was about $150,000, which included using sub-contract-ed people from the area and bringing in some equipment from Smithers: three snow cats and two large loaders with angled dozer blades.

And crews were working 12 to 14 hour shifts around the clock, Beaulec added.

Phone calls that came into the company weren’t to complain about their clean-ing efforts but mostly inqui-ries about when their roads would be cleared so they could make plans to get out.

A few people called who had medical issues and Nechako expedited opening those roads, said Beaulec.

“Those kinds of cases,

we made extra efforts to go get to [them] and get them access,” he said.

“The response was very good, very positive. Every-one was very understanding. It was a 50 or 100 year event and people’s patience was very much appreciated.”

The ministry decides whether to close the roads and Nechako had discus-sions with the highways dis-trict manager who decided against it, said Beaulec.

“Closing the roads would add the challenge of hav-ing traffic control out there in visibility that was almost zero so there was the risk of someone getting hit by traf-fic,” he said.

With no school that Fri-

day and Monday being the BC Family Day holiday, it helped that there were fewer drivers on the road.

“It certainly was fortu-nate,” said Beaulec.

“In ‘99, we didn’t have that luxury and had to make arrangements with school bus operators.”

The one thing people should know is that calling the Nechako office number is not the best way to get hold of equipment crews – callers would leave messag-es on any extension but no one was there to hear them.

“A lot didn’t get to our storm desk where they need-ed to be,” said Beaulec.

“If they call the 1-800 number, the message cen-

tre, they could get to us and the supervisor in the field to make sure people’s concerns were at least recorded and received,” he said, adding that number is 1-800-665-5051 and is a 24-hour call service with a live operator who can dial into the radio systems and talk to supervi-sors and crews who are out on the roadways. That num-ber is also in the phone book as a 24-hour emergency number, he added.

By the end of last week, crews were widening the streets and highways were bare and wet, he said.

“There’s still some slush and a few ribbons of com-pact snow to deal with and make room for if we get any

more snow,” said Beaulec.“We’re keeping our fin-

gers crossed that winter was in a two day period and that’s the end.”

Beaulec said people un-derstand that in conditions like the snowstorm the best thing is to hunker down and wait it out.

And that’s exactly what Regional District of Kiti-mat-Stikine Thornhill direc-tor Ted Ramsey and his wife did.

“It was really bad,” said Ramsey, referring to the storm.

“But you know I knew, as I assume everyone else knows, the weather report said a storm was coming so we went down and stocked

up, fueled the truck up and got extra gas for the snow blower.

“When they tell you it’s going to snow, stay home.”

He had a generator just in case the power went out, which it didn’t, and they were set up to look after themselves for 48 hours, which everyone should do, he added.

On Friday, Feb. 6 he did go down to the Northern Motor Inn – he lives in up-per Thornhill – after he put chains on his truck tires and had no trouble getting down there and back again.

The sand trucks get the sand from the place on Old Lakelse Lake drive near the top of the hill so he knew that road would be good for driving, he said.

Ramsey did hear some comments from the public who think the regional dis-trict handles the cleaning of the roads but it’s the min-istry of transportation who contracts it out.

“I think overall they did a good job,” he said, adding that he sees pickup trucks with snow blades on their front bumpers and thinks more should be used be-cause of the good job they do.

“In my opinion, it’s a good idea but they’re not capitalizing on it enough.”

The street he lives on didn’t get plowed until Sun-day night and a lot of side streets were still bad with many only having room to let traffic go thru one way but that’s part of the equa-tion.

“It’s a whole whack of snow to get at once ... We get lulled by no snow as all the winters have been pretty easy for the last 10 years. We tend to relax and we forget it can snow here.”

MILLS MEMORIAL Hospital was running on portable generators for a time during the Feb. 5-6 massive snowstorm when a main backup generator failed after the facility’s normal power provided through BC Hydro went out.

“We have contingency plans for this sort of thing and in this case those plans worked,” said Northern Health Authority official Jonathon Dyck of how the hospital coped first with the loss of normal power followed by the failure of the main backup generator.

“No patient care was impacted,” he added.

With portable generators in use, the emphasis was on providing enough power to equipment and

devices directly involved in pa-tient care, Dyck said. Some hospi-tal staffers, including nurses, wore headlamps to provide illumination so they could have their hands free while they worked, he continued.

The hospital’s main backup gen-erator is regularly maintained and is tested once a week but it is still a piece of machinery, said Dyck.

“Like any piece of technology, it can go down. It’s like your car,” said Dyck. “It may work fine in the morning and you drive it but in the afternoon, it may not work.”

He added that hospital employ-ees followed the protocol contained in the contingency plan and per-formed well during the power out-age.

College gets a reprieve“Governments looking to eliminate core fund-

ing is always a concern, this year or next year,” he said. “The problem from the get go was as much the cut, as it was the new delivery model. This program was already devastated in last year’s budget; NWCC lost 55 per cent of the faculty in the department and the delivery model was changed to at your own pace from instructor led. This has not supported students or helped with success. The fact remains that while high school success rates are low this program will need more funding, and not less.”

When the changes were announced, education minister Peter Fassbender issued a statement that said, “High school is free, but further upgrading is not. I think it is reasonable to expect adults who’ve already graduated to contribute to these costs.”

The changes to ABE funding affect adult stu-dents who have graduated high school and are

looking to upgrade. Adult students who have not graduated high school can access the courses through the K-12 system, continued the govern-ment statement.

From front

Street checksSome of those agencies are probation services,

the Terrace and District Community Services So-ciety, the Ksan House Society and mental health, said Rabut.

She did add that other detachment members also conduct foot patrols and do street checks to connect with the community.

“We are only as effective as the information that is received from the public. Policing is a community effort,” said Rabut.


The Big DumpNot quite a snowfall record, but darn close

Thanks to the snow

angels “I WAS driving home from work Thursday after midnight and end-ed up stuck in the ditch off High-way 16 outside of Copper Moun-tain. I would have never gotten my car out, and I didn’t even have a jacket because the weather hadn’t been that bad when I left for work. Before I could even get my phone out of my purse to call for help a stranger in a truck pulled over to make sure I was OK and offered me a ride home. As we were going into my neighborhood the drifts were so big I probably wouldn’t have got through anyway. I have since learned that my saviour that night was Dan Andrews. I ended up not being to get hold of my family when I got home, so I would have been stranded and walking in a pitch black snow-storm. This kind stranger could have very well saved my life.”

– Belinda Bee“Our angel is my husband, he

kept on top of the snow. We would be stranded if my husband waited for the snow to stop.”

– Marlene Robinson“My husband Geoff! he not

only kept on top of our snow, but helped our neighbours, and other family and friends around town! his ability to push through be-ing tired, sore, cold, and wet just amazes me. Definitely my hero!”

– Shanna Gibson“Our wonderful neighbours

Angela Mae VanderBoon, and Jeremy Meek were our heroes Saturday night when they dug out our driveway and front street so we could make it out of our yard and to the highway in case of emergency. We had been stranded on our acreage since Thursday afternoon. Big thank you to them!

– Jennifer Keys“Rick McDaniel. I ended up

on a snowdrift. After myself and a coworker worked on getting the truck moving for a bit Rick showed up with his truck and blade. He cleared the path a bit, we hooked up a tow rope and he got me moving again! I am sure I was not the only one he helped!”

– Tom Keller“My husband was away in

camp until Friday night. On Fri-day morning, our neighbour Trevor Mack came over with their snowblower and cleared our driveway after Thursday’s heavy snowfall. I greatly appreciated that.”

– Denise M. Emm“I’d like to thank my neigh-

bour Jack for snowblowing my driveway TWICE for us! Life saver.”

– Amber-Lee Nelson “Nelson Furtado helped quite

a lot of people with driveways with his bobcat ... also helped many of his neighbours in his area. Big huge heart with his lil bobcat.”

– Mandi Campbell

For a while there, at the storm’s height, it felt like the area was inside a shaken paper weight.

Snow generated by warm moisture from the Hawaii region whipped horizontally like white sparks along curving windrows, and accumulated rapidly from Feb. 5 into Feb. 6, almost break-ing records.

“Where to put it all, that’s the challenge,” said city corporate administrator Alisa Thompson in the aftermath of the blizzard.

All last week a parade of trucks dumped snow piles first in the parking lot outside the curling rink and then at the Sportsplex.

City crews were out around the clock, bolstered by the equipment of independent contractors.

“There were approximately 15 pieces of hired equipment at times from about a half dozen contrac-tors,” said Thompson.

Both city officials and the RCMP told people to stay off the streets.

Main highways in the area were not closed but travel adviso-ries were issued and flights were cancelled at the Northwest Re-gional Airport.

Rural roads were plugged and residents in the outlying areas were kept at home for several days.

Neighbours helped each other out, while in the city, those clear-ing snow were told that snow should not be shovelled out of driveways and onto streets.

Residents complained, but were told water runoff drains could be jammed and that sewers could be flooded with run-off.

“Please stay off the street,” the city tweeted. “All done shovelling yourself out? If so, go help your neighbour :)” said another.

“They just pulled together as a team. They stepped up to the plate. They are amazing.” said mayor Carol Leclerc of the city’s efforts.

To go outside during the storm, goggles and snowshoes were needed to make any sort of prog-ress through the drifts.

Cars and trucks were routinely stuck in ditches along roads and highways.

Driving along, there were moments of complete whiteout where the road, the sides of the roads, everything in the visible horizon became a wall of white.

By the morning of Feb. 7, the storm had abated and the cleanup effort was underway.

City officials late last week were still working out what would be considerable costs.

There is $525,800 in the 2015 provisional budget for winter road maintenance, plus another $87,000 for winter sidewalk maintenance.

“When we anticipate an ex-treme weather event, staffing lev-els are adjusted accordingly,” said a statement from the city.

“We focus our efforts on major routes during the event. This was not an ‘emergency’ in the sense that people’s lives were not in danger. The weather was extreme and we advised people to stay off the roads.”

Because of the seven-foot-high snow piles in the middle of streets, the city had all the crossing lights set to blinking red or yellow.

Not all drivers perhaps were aware of what it meant, that in-tersections had been converted to four-way stops.

Garbage collection was can-celled and at the height of the storm, both the Sportsplex and the aquatic centre were shut down as was the library. Even the Casino closed early on the Friday.

Leclerc looked at some of the positives that happened.

“It was the perfect storm. There was no school on Friday (Feb. 6), so the kids didn’t miss anything, and then it was a long weekend so the business community is not as busy on that Sunday/Monday, but Saturday was just like recuperat-ing,” said Leclerc.

There was so much snow that even Shames Mountain was shut down on Feb. 7 because employ-ees couldn’t get out of their drive-ways. Still, backcountry skiers who didn’t need the chair lift had a field day and devoured all the fresh powder on the steepest runs.

Skiing resumed Sunday, Feb. 8 with the mountain having record-ed 115 centimetres of new snow.

The bandwidth of the Shames website servers maxed out as people wanted to see how much powder had fallen.

Skiers and snowboarders even commuted from Vancouver for the weekend to get a taste of northwestern fluff.

Given the amount of snow which fell at the Northwest Re-gional Airport, fewer flights than might be expected were cancelled, says manager Carman Hendry.

WestJet and Air Canada flights coming in the evening of Feb. 5 were cancelled, meaning that the

next morning’s flights out were also cancelled.

“The incoming flights Feb. 6 did get in and then leave but by the afternoon it was just too much,” said Hendry.

In all, five flights Feb. 6 were affected, he added.

With 7,500 feet of runway that’s 150 feet wide, airport snow clearing crews had all they could handle, Hendry continued.

“They could barely keep up to keep the runway open. They were down to 80 feet in width, the minimum width we could have,” he said.

In all, the airport had three plow trucks, two large snowblow-ers and two loaders on the runway constantly while one loader and one Bobcat tried to keep the air-craft area clear.

Hendry said the 11 staffers on duty did what they could, adding that three of them who went home on Feb. 6 couldn’t get out of their homes to return to work.

So much snow fell at the air-port that operators were running out of room in which to store it.

A record?Records were almost met for

the area, with the airport register-ing 159 cm of snow from 4 p.m. Feb. 5 to 4 a.m. Feb. 7. Kitimat registered 168 cm and Onion Lake 157 cm.

Terrace came close to meeting its previous daily record extreme snowfall of 113.4 cm on Feb. 11, 1999. For Feb. 6, 2015, 109 cm fell.

Tahtsa Lake, near Tweedsmuir Park in B.C., registered the re-cord, 145 cm on Feb. 11, 1999.

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

IN EASILY the single most con-centrated snowfall of the past sev-eral decades, the blizzard of Feb. 5-6 tested the resolve of Terrace and area residents.

Old-timers reached back into their memory banks to recall when so much snow fell in so little amount of time.

It was perhaps fortunate that a reg-ularly-scheduled public school non-instructional day of Feb. 6 followed by the Family Day statutory holiday of Feb. 9 combined to keep traf� c off of local roads.

It seemed that virtually every piece of equipment that could lift, push, shove and haul snow was pressed into service in the effort to keep roads cleared.

Neighbours compared notes as to the best way and place to shovel snow so that plow operators pushed as little as possible into windrows at the foot of driveways.

Neighbours also helped neigh-bours shovel. People stopped their vehicles to help others less fortunate who became stuck. Grocery store runs were organized for those who were running low on supplies.

Good humour and patience were evident in equal amounts as people coped.

Northerners live where they do for any number of reasons – historical, cultural, employment, family.

One of those reasons is for the feeling of community and that cer-tainly topped even the most deepest of snowdrifts.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI

EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, February 18, 2015 Terrace Standard

Every winter storm is memorable, of-ten for forcing you to cope with some

hazardous predicament. Therefore I greet each one

by postponing ladder climb-ing or cooking anything that could scald me, and carrying penny matches in case of power outage.

I try to avoid summoning emergency personnel when rescuers would need snow-shoes or a ladder truck to en-ter my yard. Unique dif� cul-ties can still show up.

The storm of two weeks ago buried my entire proper-ty under a deep, deep layer of snow, made deeper in many places by monumental drifts, with my unplowed driveway sealed off from the street by a snowplow windrow.

Over several days after the storm ended, I shovelled a footpath to the walkway gate and dug it out so, if necessary, the gate could be opened. I would let sun thaw the rest.

Until one morning I found my front door frozen shut. No amount of prying with a � at screwdriver, heating with a hairdryer, yanking on the knob or bashing the bottom of the door with my

slippered foot broke it free. Meanwhile, my dogs whined on the porch awaiting break-fast.

The only solution was to push the door from the out-side. But how to reach the outside?

I couldn’t phone a neigh-bour for help; I wouldn’t ex-pect anyone to dress up and make his way through my snowdrifts to give my door a jolt.

My house has three ex-its. Neither of the other two was a good option. Both doors led to a yard buried under great swoops of snow resembling Calgary’s Sad-dle Dome, in places � ve

or more feet deep. Morning light made it impossible to gauge the snow’s depth. I knew, though, from my dog’s struggles climbing to a van-tage point for watching street traf� c that a monster drift waited at the east side of the front porch.

Moving west would be the longer route. The height of my windows kept me from seeing terrain within 10 feet of the house. What might await me there? Snow in pe-rimeter shrubbery could be deep or shallow. I couldn’t tell.

I concluded whether I went west or east, I’d face deep drifts.

Warmly dressed with pant cuffs pulled down over my boot tops, and grasping a corn broom as a walking stick, I stepped out the north door and headed west along the longest wall.

A few steps proved I had picked the wrong direction.

Instead of sweeping away some snow, the wind had piled drifts higher around that entire end of the house. But as Hamlet said, “To go back were as tedious as to go over.” So on I went.

Close up, the snow was uniform depth – almost the

full length of the broom han-dle – from the house founda-tion clear across to the pe-rimeter shrubbery.

Hugging the stucco wall for added balance, I slowly proceeded. I realized if any-thing were to happen to me, for instance a heart attack, my family would never look for me or � nd me here.

They would be unlikely to check for footprints leav-ing from the back door. And they’d have to step out the door to see my footprints, they were that close to the wall.

Half an hour late I’d fed the dogs.

I cut a two-foot long strip of acrylic boat top-ping, strong, paper-thin fab-ric, added a slit at either end large enough to slip over a doorknob, and hung one end over each doorknob. Besides a safe way to yank open a frozen door, the fabric goes across the latch keeping it in, so the latch cannot freeze preventing turning of the knob.

(Incidentally, I learned it’s wise to park my vehicle with space on either side for a Bobcat to plow.)

PROVINCIAL ADVANCED education minister Andrew Wilkinson announces money for trades equipment at Northwest Community College Feb. 2. But there are worries about other sources of provincial revenue for the college.

Education needs to be freeDear Sir:

Our provincial government, the BC Liberals, talk a lot about skills training and jobs, but our apprenticeship comple-tion rates are dismal.

With the BC 2015 budget dropping this month, B.C. needs increased funding to col-

leges and universities to create access for British Columbians to complete apprenticeships.

Now government has pro-posed plans to cut funding for adult basic education, the very program many students need to enter the trades.

This is a total reversal on

the 2007 decision to elimi-nate tuition fees for adult basic education which was an out-come of the BC government’s Campus 2020 report. This re-port determined that cost-free upgrading programs is key to providing strong economic fu-ture for British Columbia.

Keeping adult basic educa-tion free and accessible to Brit-ish Columbians is an important part of any jobs plan.

Steve Verblac,Northwest Community

College Students’ Union Chairperson,Terrace, B.C.

Residents Advocating for a Sustainable Inclu-sive Environment (RA-faSIE) is a community

advocacy group that was formed when local decision makers ig-nored issues affecting taxpayers.

After countless letters, peti-tions and presentations to both the Kitimat-Stikine regional dis-trict and Terrace city council over the past three years the public felt it was not being heard.

Many claimed there was a lack of transparency and dysfunction in our governing bodies. Several groups came forward, includ-ing RAfaSIE but regardless of the size of the group, our MLA, councillors and directors ignored many issues and concerns. RA-faSIE is asking the public to raise their voices to demand respectful, representative governance of our resources, environment and tax paying dollars.

The issue most prevalent is the local waste plan for the Ter-race region. RAfaSIE has identi-fied many shortfalls to recycling,

diversion and dumping plans for the proposed Thornhill landfill transfer site and proposed new landfill at Onion Lake flats – re-ferred incorrectly as the Force-man Ridge landfill site.

RAfaSIE has experienced public consultation meetings that were not consultative but instead were informative of what the regional district and city deter-mined were ‘best” for our region. But were they? Many concerns and questions from the public were left unheard or unanswered.

RAfaSIE brought the regional district a petition indicating over-whelming support for recycling, re-use and diversion of waste in the region. Wearing “YES we CAN” t-shirts at another presen-tation, we indicated our desire to support and work with the district in a community-based plan to produce a value added industry around waste re-use and a one-stop re-cycling facility.

RAfaSIE has read through the engineering reports from the re-gional district and has identified,

a list of public concerns within the current proposal, we made suggestions to deal with those concerns, which were ignored by the regional district Local Area C Directors advocating for support of taxpayers rights of involve-ment were out-voted by other area directors and were rendered useless, as the board refused to even second, motions made by

the local representatives to the greater Terrace area.

RAfaSIE questioned the en-vironmental concerns and the heavy tax implications proposed in building a new landfill at On-ion Lake Flats, but these con-cerns have not been adequately addressed. Millions of dollars have already been spent on what is called siting projects over the past 20 years by the regional dis-trict. The rationale for continu-ing with the proposed Forceman Ridge landfill project is that it is a done deal. RAfaSIE disagrees.

We cannot justify bad deci-sions with that comment when we know we can do better. We cannot risk environmental dam-age to the Lakelse watershed, nor to Onion or Clearwater Lakes, nor to the creeks nearby.

We cannot condone misrep-resentative statements from the regional district such as the Ter-race and Thornhill landfills are closing, and then keep open the Thornhill landfill and rename it a transfer site. We cannot condone

unprecedented spending by the regional district under the pre-tense that the public has no right to say no.

Taxpayers are the funders, without us there is no salary for any politician, or their staff. We are not their cash cows! Time for us all to stand up and say “hold on” and demand that our politi-cians consult us and then spend our money responsibly. Write a letter, send an email, attend a budget meeting or board meeting and hold accountable the people who are your representatives. RAfaSIE is you and we need more of you to be heard through your attendance and involvement.

Let’s start this week. RAfaSIE asks the public to join us at the regional district finance meet-ing where plans to borrow $14.5 million for refuse site projects will be voted on. See you at the regional district office on Lazelle Ave. Feb. 20, 2015, at 5:00 pm. Let’s listen and talk together.

Diana Penner speaks for RA-faSIE.

DIANA PENNER

Dear Sir:As you may already know, the provincial govern-

ment is due to release the 2015 budget this month. With the government having forecast a $444 mil-lion surplus in November 2014, it has come as a surprise to me that the BC Liberals have proposed further funding cuts to education: this time, to adult high school completion.

Until now, the provincial government has funded high school courses offered at colleges and univer-sities to allow students to earn their high school di-ploma outside of the K-12 system and to complete courses they require to enter their desired programs free of charge.

Under the BC Liberals’ new model, colleges and universities must fund high school course offerings independently. In the case of Northwest Commu-nity College, this change means that students will be charged tuition for and potentially denied access to the education they need to earn the most basic credential they need to find employment, let alone to enter any of the programs offered at the institu-tion. How can a government that prides itself in a Skills for Jobs blueprint deny its people the educa-tion they need to work in any of the job openings created?

A LAKELSE AVE. building which was a focal point for dances and entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s has been placed on the city’s community heri-tage registry.

Now the home of Ur-ban Colour on the first floor and a residence on the second floor, the building at 4552 Lake-lse Ave. was construct-ed in 1921 by the Great War Veterans’ Associa-tion (GWVA) which, as the name indicates, was an organization made up of veterans of the First World War.

“It seems to have served as a commu-nity centre. The annual fall fair was held in the building, the first Ro-tary Christmas dinner, New Year’s Eve dances, basketball games, mas-querade balls, meetings, memorial services, a small lending library, and commemorative ceremonies, including Armistice Day,” noted Terrace and District Museum Society cura-tor Kelsey Wiebe of research conducted by reading the newspaper of the period, the Omin-eca Herald.

“Early women’s advocacy was centred around the GWVA: a GWVA Ladies’ Auxil-iary operated out of the building, assisting with the creation of a sense of community.”

GWVA members, owing to the passage of time and the depression of the 1930s stopped

paying the dues and, eventually, building mortgage holder O.T. Sundal took over the building, allowing com-munity events to con-tinue.

In 1939, the load from an enormous snowfall collapsed the building’s second sto-rey and that floor was removed, converting it into a one-storey struc-ture.

It took on a military flavour again during the Second World War when it was converted into apartments for sol-diers, highway work-ers and families, adds Wiebe. In later years it also served as the loca-tion for Wilkinson Busi-ness Machines.

The building is the tenth structure or site to be placed on the heri-

tage registry.“While our built

heritage is limited in Terrace, as a result of its small size prior to the Second World War, and the area’s empha-sis on using wood for buildings (a fire-suscep-tible material), there are still several interesting heritage buildings in the community. Their uniqueness should mean that they should be celebrated and up-held,” said Wiebe.

The next heritage

step for the building is to place it on provincial and federal historical registries.

A federal historic registry contains three local structures – the former provincial police station on the corner of Lakelse and Kalum, the Kwinitsa railway fore-man’s residence on the eastern end of the mil-lennium trail and city founder George Little’s house which is located at the foot of Kalum Ave. downtown.

CITY COUNCIL has ap-proved a plan by the area’s two Rotary clubs to spend up to $250,000 to construct a children’s splash park in George Little Park.

The proposal was first put to council Jan. 26 by the Ter-race Rotary Club and Skee-na Valley Rotary Club but council delayed a decision until Feb. 10 so its staffers could evaluate the idea and the location for the splash park which will be between 1,500 and 1,700 square feet.

It’s to go beside the cur-rent playground in the north-east corner of the park.

In her report to council, city leisure services director Carmen Didier noted that the idea for a splash park was contained in a 2009 conceptual plan for the park.

That plan resulted in re-

moving a large concrete bandshell in the middle of the park and replacing it with a stage and seating area on the park’s southwest cor-ner.

Didier added that the splash park design should be blended in with the current children’s playground which was provided by local Kins-men.

“The equipment is 12-plus years old and will be due for a renewal project in the next 3-5 years,” Didier said of the playground in her report.

She recommended the city have final engineering and design approval.

A blend of the play-ground and splash park would mean that children and parents could remain in one area, she continued.

A preliminary annual maintenance estimate of $1,000 suggested by Ro-tary officials was increased to $4,000 by Didier after speaking with other munici-palities.

The design proposed meets the existing water ser-vice to the park and drainage would be through a basic rock filtration system with the excess going into the city’s storm sewers, she said.

The two Rotary clubs still have to raise all the money needed and have pegged next year to meet that goal and for construction.

“It’s going to be central, and a nice gathering place for everybody,” said mayor Carol Leclerc.

Some councillors did raise the question of wheth-er other locations were con-

sidered and whether the splash park would reduce the amount of green space at George Little Park.

Councillor Michael Pre-vost raised the issue again Feb. 10, asking “what were the exclusionary criteria for the other existing parks.”

“The fact that the Rotary clubs have come to us with this donation, I don’t think we would have been able to consider it,” Didier replied of other potential locations.

Councillor Stacey Tyers did argue that the South-side frequently misses out on new recreation facilities and is hindered from partici-pating in uptown facilities because of the challenging pedestrian access.

Councillor James Cor-deiro did worry about the cost and that by taking on

ownership, repairs would be the city’s responsibility in perpetuity.

He also wondered about how much use the facility would get being seasonal in nature.

Didier said that the other communities she touched base with all said that their parks were widely used from spring right until the Labour Day long weekend.

In the end, there were no recorded no votes to the pro-posal.

Leclerc and two council-lors, Brian Downie and Sean Bujtas, all of whom are Ro-tary members, said they had no trouble in voting.

“There’s no personal gain for me and the splash park is a huge advantage for the community. It’s just a wonderful feature to have

in our community so it’s not like I am gaining anything personally out of that,” said Leclerc.

Bujtas, who is on the board of the Terrace Rotary Club, said he had been ad-vised at two separate local government conferences that he would not be in a conflict.

Downie said he has seen many circumstances where conflict could exist and that this was not one of them.

However, councillor James Cordeiro said he would have removed him-self from voting had he been a Rotarian.

“All I can say is that if I was a member of a service club that had come before council I would step out. It’s a personal decision and up to each person,” said Cordeiro.

BERNARD (JOHN Dafoe) juggles three fiancées, one of which is Gloria (Kris-tin Douma), in Boeing Boeing. That’s Bertha (Cheryl Spencer), his maid, watching from the background.

THE TERRACE Scottish Country Dancers held their 23rd annual pot luck Robbie Burns’ supper on Janu-ary 24th with 90 people in attendance.

Paul Bjorn piped in the haggis and Jock Halley gave the traditional “Ad-dress to the Haggis.”

Following a wonderful dinner, Rob MacDonald gave the toast to the Immortal Memory of Robert Burns, the famous Scottish poet, who was born on January 25, 1759.

Without realizing it, the poetry and lyrics of Robert Burns has touched our lives through such common prac-tices as the singing of Auld Lang Syne on New Year’s Eve.

Fans of his poetry are spread all over the world, and each year his birth is celebrated through the hosting of Robbie Burns’ suppers.

Tables stacked, and dance floor cleared, the music began.

From the gentle harp music of the Inverary Harp Ensemble to the more lively tunes from ‘Mc’Dr Fishy, join-ing in dances and demonstration of Scottish country dances, the enter-tainment was enjoyed by all.

ON MARCH 9, 2010, Richard Wilson from Prince Rupert had a stroke from a malformation of vessels on the left side of his brain and at that point, his life changed.

During his four years of recovery, the family has gone through the many emotions as he moves through his healing journey.

Richard says, “A program for stroke survivors is so crucial to have, we went through our struggles blind and we had so much to tell people and wanted to learn from others before us.”

Now, stroke survivors in Terrace have this new tool for help and hope: the Heart and Stroke Foun-dation’s Living with Stroke™ program.

The program is designed to help stroke survivors and their families improve their quality of life, cope with challenges and connect with others.

“The Living with Stroke program is going to help others heal and move forward with their lives,” says Richard.

Led by volunteer facilitators and provided free in B.C. communities, the program is made up of eight weekly, two-hour sessions.

Weekly topics include impact of stroke, physical changes and keeping active; dealing with emotions and relationships; reducing future risk and nutri-tion.

Facilitator Pat Sloan says, “Having worked with stroke survivors in the communities of Terrace and Kitimat for the past 17 years, the need for this kind of group program has been very clear to me and others on the rehab team. There is so much that stroke survivors can learn from each other.”

All stroke survivors and their primary caregiver are welcome to join. Terrace Living with Stroke™ runs on Saturdays from February 21 – April 11 from 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at the Terrace Public Library

Registration is a must, please call 1-888-473-4636.

For more information on stroke resources and the program, please see www.heartandstroke.bc.ca/livingwithstroke.

TRAVEL BACK to the 1960s when planes were slower and the air hostesses, which flight attendants were called back then, wore fancier outfits with hats and you’re part way there to Boeing Boeing, Terrace Little The-atre’s dinner theatre production playing right now at the golf course.

The Marc Camoletti French farce starts with Bernard juggling three fiancées, who are all air hostesses, and thanks to the speed of airplanes, and his maid, who never forgets to change the photographs in the bedroom, he’s always ready for a visit from one at a time.

However, when the faster Boeing plane is introduced and the fiancées’ schedules start overlapping, he’s faced all three at the same time. Matchmaking takes over when his old school friend Robert comes to visit and it’s a whirlwind from there.

Alan Weston takes his first turn as director and is enjoying his time in charge. “It was so much fun to see who showed up,” he said about the play reading, held last September.

After October auditions, all but one of the roles was filled with actors who’ve previous-ly been on stage – Kristin Douma is the new-comer as Gloria, the American air hostess.

The rest of the cast is John Dafoe as Ber-nard, Garnett Doell as Robert, Amy Spencer as Italian air hostess Gabriella, Amy Turner as German air hostess Gretchen and Cheryl Spencer as Bertha the maid,

TOASTMASTERS IN-TERNATIONAL is a world leader in com-munication and leader-ship development. Our membership is 313,000 strong. Members improve their speaking and leader-ship skills by attending one of the 14,650 clubs in 126 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations.

I am proud to have the privilege to be a part of an organization that en-hances the lives of people who desire to be the best they can be. People who choose or by a need have become leaders in the community, in the work-place, in service clubs and the list goes on.

And even more im-portantly, it is an orga-nization that friendships are built on that last for a lifetime. Relationships where mentoring is ongo-ing and well received, en-couraging one another to better themselves in the

skill set they are develop-ing. Being there to sup-port when the challenges arise, sharing tools of the trade to meet those chal-lenges and more.

It’s about developing the servant leader; a lead-er is no leader if they have not walked in the steps of those they are leading. A leader is one who has the skills they have de-veloped to coach, mentor and motivate the team. A leader realizes that with-out that team. they would not be successful.

I have had the privi-lege of being awarded the Area Governor of the Year in District 21 dur-ing the year of 2011. I received this award with pride, not only because of my accomplishment, but because of the district leaders who supported me, the club executives who walked alongside and were successful in their roles.

It was a team effort that allowed me to be blessed with an award

that I share with all today. I ask you today: Do

you want to become a bet-ter leader in your service club, a better supervisor, a better professional or business person? Do you want to overcome the fear of standing up in front of

a group to share your vi-sion, your dream or chair-ing a meeting? Are you filling a position that has been assigned to you that you would not necessar-ily have chosen, do you want to be the best you can be in that position?

I invite you to check out our local toastmasters club, Terrace Toastmas-ters.

For more informa-tion, see the toastmasters website or contact me at [email protected] or 250-635-2151.

Welcome to Chamber Week! On behalf of the Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce we are pleased to have this opportunity to provide an annual update to our membership and community. In May of 2014 at our Annual AGM we selected our new board and I’m pleased to introduce the following volunteers to our board, Janice Shaben, President Lael McKeown, Director Steve Dotto, Director John Ryan, Director Val Gauvin, Director Loralie Thomson, Director Bert Husband, Director Rich Toomey, DirectorAppointed after the AGM is Sherri Disney, Director

We continue to host monthly luncheons so that members have the opportunity to network and learn � rsthand about the upcoming events and opportunities. We also welcome non-members to join us for a chance to see more about what the Chamber is all about, so please feel free to bring a guest!

We are always busy in Chamberland with our two big annual events. The annual spring 2014 Business Expo was well attended with over 90 exhibitors & over 4000 attendees participating. This year’s show dates are April 17 & 18 and from early indications it will be a great show. For our 2015 show we are adding a career fair aspect, whereby we are asking our vendors to use this opportunity to identify their needs and for our attendees to come prepared with resumes & or business cards to share with perspective employers. The 2015 show package for general sales will be released in early March. The 2014 show was a very successful event, so plan to book early so not to be disappointed.

The Business Excellence Awards as always is a hugely successful event and one where we are honored to showcase our community stars in over 14 categories. Thanks to our sponsors, nominators & nominees, without your participation we would not be able to host this dynamic event!

In May 2014 our Executive Director, Carol Fielding attended the BC Chamber AGM, this is an annual event that brings together all the Chambers across the province, both staff & volunteers meet to discuss issues they currently are facing and also to participate in the policy debate & approval process. Annually there are hundreds of policies that are passed and these are then composed into a manual that all sitting MLA’s receive a copy of. If you are interested in having a look at these policies they can be found on the BC Chamber website link http://www.bcchamber.org/advocacy/policy.html

In 2014 we also saw the launch of our new & very improved website www.terracechamber.com, exciting features are the membership directory, where our members are able to input their logos and build their pro� les to showcase their businesses. The other exciting feature is the ‘events’ calendar. I invite you to take a few moments to check out these great new features. You will also � nd our membership package which has many cost saving bene� ts and business development ideas and it is available to anyone interested in becoming a member of the Chamber.

Your Business. Your Voice. Your Chamber.

Getting results for B.C. business By Carol FieldingTerrace & District Chamber of Commerce

February 16, 2015, marks the beginning of Chamber of Commerce Week, an opportunity for Chambers of Commerce across British Colum-bia to showcase their hard work on behalf of business communities across the province.

This year, Chambers are celebrating the theme of “Leadership in Ac-tion” – a theme which highlights the leadership Chambers bring to their business communities, working hard to enhance B.C. as a business-friend-ly jurisdiction with strong opportunities for all British Columbians.

And this leadership delivers results. Following on B.C. Chambers’ ac-tive advocacy, the federal and provincial governments working in partner-ship were able to deliver a significant win for B.C.’s businesses: the launch of the Canada Job Grant in B.C.

Thanks to the hard work of Chambers in B.C., working closely with a responsive government, employers will be able to apply for up $10,000 in training funds. The Canada Job Grant, funded by the Government of Canada and administered by the Province of B.C., is an innovative cost-sharing program that helps employers offset the cost of training for new or current employees.

And that’s just one of many positive changes that the Chamber net-work has led for B.C. businesses. Among many areas of impact, B.C.’s Chambers have been a key voice:

• encouraging balanced budgets at all levels of government;• continuing to call for solutions to B.C.’s skills gap; and• encouraging municipalities to actively support local economic de-

velopment.As members of the BC Chamber of Commerce, Chambers throughout

the province are part of B.C.’s most extensive business policy develop-ment process. This process brings B.C. businesses’ innovative ideas and on-the-ground insights to B.C.’s decision makers, and helps shape an ever more business-friendly province. Chamber network policies span from fiscal and tax policy to infrastructure to industry-specific issues.

For over 80 years the Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce has been the active voice of business in the community. Our ongoing lobby-ing efforts are directed toward all levels of government on both current issues and future development opportunities. We represent businesses both large and small, as well as non-profit organizations and home based businesses. We’re united in our common goal of improving the business climate and providing tangible benefits for our members.

The Chamber provides an opportunity for those people who create local jobs and drive the local economy to work with government and the public to build a better community. The provincial Chamber acts as an umbrella organization to lobby the provincial government on issues of mutual concern to all chambers, and the Canadian Chamber serves a simi-lar role at a national level. The chamber speaks for the business communi-ty at public hearings, to the media and behind closed doors. The Chamber is “the voice of business.”

Why join the Chamber? It seems clear now that there are far more reasons to join a chamber than there are not to. In the long run however, whether you join to have an impact in your community, or to gain more direct benefits, it seems that belonging to the Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce is simply good business.

So as B.C. celebrates Chamber Week, don’t miss the opportunity to contact Carol at the Terrace Chamber 250-635-2063 to find out more about becoming a member of the Terrace Chamber or visit our new web-site www.terracechamber.com for more information.

Canucks to pay visit

JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

WEARING AN old Todd Bertuzzi No. 44 jersey, Terrace Gymnastics Club representative Ron Bee was successful in securing city help for a visit by Vancouver Canucks alumni this fall.

CITY COUNCIL dipped into a $20,000 discretionary account called “council unbud-geted” at its Feb. 10 meeting to help finance an appearance later this year by a number of Vancouver Canucks alumni.

And it did so in ap-proving a Terrace Peaks Gymnastic Club request for $2,765 in the form of waived rental fees for the arena and banquet room.

On Sept. 26 the club wants to bring up the Vancouver Canucks alumni team for a mon-ey raising event that will sponsor new equipment for the club’s Thornhill gym facilities.

“This fundraiser is huge to revitalize the facility and with this help from the city we will be able to be in a good position to make this game happen like a mini Hockeyville so to speak,” said club representative Ron Bee to council of the 2009 event which featured an exhibition game be-tween the Canucks and the New York Islanders.

The Canucks alumni team will boast four players from the 1994 team that made it to the Stanley Cup finals. It lost to the New York Rangers.

The discretionary account is meant for re-quests from community groups for assistance throughout the year.

MAYOR CAROL Leclerc has made her final ap-pointments of councillors to various committees and groups.

Sean Bujtas will sit on the Terrace Community Forest Corporation profit distribution committee (he joins councillor Lynne Christiansen who was already selected).

And councillor Stacey Tyers will sit on the city’s housing committee which looks at ways to expand various types of housing.

Northern Savings SupportsPink Shirt Day.

On Wednesday, February 25th, 2015 be sure to wear your Pink Shirt Day t-shirt and say ENOUGH to bullying! This special day takes place in schools, workplaces, and neighbourhoods across the nation, and features individuals like you bringing awareness to the cause. The goal of the Pink Shirt Day campaign is to raise $300,000 to fund local anti-bullying programs and you can be a part of this amazing campaign!

Bullying and CyberbullyingBullyingBullying happens when there is an imbalance of power; where someone purposely and repeatedly says or does hurtful things to someone else. Bul-lying can occur one on one or in a group(s) of peo-ple. � ere are many di� erent forms of bullying:◼ Physical bullying (using your body or objects to cause harm): includes hitting, punching, kick-ing, spitting or breaking someone else’s belong-ings.◼ Verbal bullying (using words to hurt some-one): includes name calling, put-downs, threats and teasing.◼ Social bullying (using your friends and rela-tionships to hurt someone): includes spreading rumours, gossiping, excluding others from a group or making others look foolish or unintel-ligent. � is form of bullying is most common among girls (Canadian Children’s Rights Council).

CyberbullyingCyberbullying involves the use of communica-tion technologies such as the Internet, social networking sites, websites, email, text messaging and instant messaging to repeatedly intimidate or harass others.

Cyberbullying includes:• Sending mean or threatening emails or text/instant messages.• Posting embarrassing photos of someone online.• Creating a website to make fun of others.• Pretending to be someone by using their name.• Tricking someone into revealing personal or embarrassing information and sending it to others.Cyberbullying a� ects victims in di� erent ways than traditional bullying. It can follow a victim everywhere 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from school, to the mall and all the way into the com-fort of their home - usually safe from traditional forms of bullying.

ImpactsOver time, youth who are bullied or bully others � nd their own ways of dealing with it. While some victims/bullies may become depressed and begin to withdraw socially, others react aggres-sively and turn to violence.

Dangers for Children and Adolescents Who Are Bullied:• Depression• Social anxiety, loneliness, isolation• Stress related health problems (e.g., headaches,

stomach aches)• Low self esteem• School absenteeism and academic problems• Aggressive behaviours• Contemplating, attempting, or committing suicideDangers for Children and Adoles-cents Who Bully Others:• Not knowing the di� erence between right and wrong• Delinquency and substance

use• Academic problems and increased school dropout rate• Aggression• Sexual harassment and dating aggression• Gang involvement and criminal adulthood• Di� culties in their relationships with others• Being bullied at the hands of others

Bullying and the LawBullying can be a traumatic experience, and some forms of bullying can even be considered illegal. � ese include:• � reats - whether done face to face, online, over the phone or through text messaging.• Assaults - including pushing, tripping, slapping, hitting or spitting.• � eft of personal items - like a backpack, books, electronic devices, etc.• Harassment - repeated tormenting online, with texts, phone calls and/or emails.• Sexual Exploitation - sharing videos or photos with nudity of people under 18.• Hate crime - bullying based on ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, etc.For all of these criminal o� ences, it is important to notify your local police detachment or report it to CYBERTIP.CA. Based on the available infor-mation, police will decide if an investigation is warranted and whether charges may be laid.

What You Can DoYouthIf you are a victim of bullying• Walk away or leave the online conversation.• Keep track of the bullying (write it down and/or save a screenshot of the online message).• Tell a trusted adult. If you don’t trust anyone or need to speak with someone urgently, contact the con� dential and toll-free Kids Help Phone.• Report the bullying to school administrators.• Report criminal o� ences, such as threats, assaults and sexual exploitation to the local police detachment.• Report unwanted text messages to your telephone service provider.• Report online bullying to the social media site and block the person responsible. • Facebook • YouTube - Safety Centre • Twitter • Instagram – block a user or report something • Tumblr – how to “ignore” (block) someone

If you know someone who is being bullied...Most types of bullying go on as long as someone is watching and laughing. As a bystander, know that you have the power to stop the

bullying. 60% of the time, bullying stops in less than 10 seconds when someone steps in (Kids Help Phone).

• If you feel it’s safe to do so, tell the bully to stop.• Find friends/students/youth or an adult who can help stop it.• Befriend the person being bullied and lead them away from the situation.• Report it to a teacher or school sta� .• Fill out an anonymous letter and drop it o� to a teacher or any adult you trust.

AdultsIf you know or think that a child is a victim of bullying...• Talk to them - Let them know that they can trust you and that they shouldn’t deal with bullying alone.• Help them: • document the bullying; • report unwanted text messages to their tele phone service provider, or cyberbullying to social media sites; • report the bullying to school administrators; and • report criminal o� ences, such as threats, as saults, harassment and sexual exploitation to the local police detachment.

History of Pink Shirt DayIn 2007, two Nova Scotia students decided to take action after witnessing a younger student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. The students bought 50 pink t-shirts and encouraged schoolmates to wear them and send a powerful message of solidarity to the bully.

A COUPLE involved in a civil forfeiture case in which money was the item to be forfeited is the first case here to get part of it back.

Darrell Genaille and Desiree Bolton, who argued that they should get back the to-tal amount of $21,480 that police seized while executing a search war-rant for alleged drug trafficking in cocaine on their residence in April 2013, will get half of it, $10,740 returned with any interest, by order of a judge of the supreme court in a consent order signed by the lawyer for the BC Civil Forfeiture Office and Genaille and Bolton.

On April 10, 2013, Terrace RCMP execut-ed a search warrant in the 4600 block of Davis Ave. and seized drugs, drug paraphernalia, weapons, cell phones, and an amount of mon-ey, said police at that time.

Charges of posses-sion of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking against a 35-year-old woman from Gitaus and a 40-year-old man from Terrace were forwarded to Crown, said police at that time.

Crown prosecu-tors did not approve the charges, but police asked the BC Civil Forfeiture Office for forfeiture of the seized money; later said to be $21,380 in Canadian currency and $100 in American currency.

Civil forfeiture of-fice lawyer Michael Lawless said some peo-ple are granted relief from forfeiture based on the facts of the case and referred instead to the consent order to an-swer why.

According to section 6 of the Civil Forfeiture Act, relief from forfei-ture can be done if “a court determines that the forfeiture of prop-erty or the whole or a portion of an interest

in property under this act is clearly not in the interests of justice, the court may...grant relief from forfeiture... if a party to the proceed-ings...proves both of the

following:“She or he did not...

acquire the property as a result of unlawful ac-tivity committed by the party [and] he she or he was the rightful owner

of the property before the unlawful activity occurred and was de-prived of possession or control of the property by means of the unlaw-ful activity, acquired the

property for fair value after the unlawful ac-tivity occurred and did not know and could not reasonably have known at the time of the acqui-sition that the property

was proceeds of unlaw-ful activity, or acquired the property from a person who owned the property before the un-lawful activity and lost it because of the unlaw-

ful activity or acquired [by] the person for fair property value after the unlawful activity, not knowing that the prop-erty came from unlaw-ful activity.”

Tahltan hope to builda new relationship

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

TRANSPORTATION COMPANY Omega Morgan, which helped move massive aluminum-producing equipment from Rio Tinto Alcan’s old smelter at Kitimat (pictured above), wants to establish a foothold in the region through the Tahltan Native Development Corporation.

THE TAHLTAN Nation Development Corpora-tion has added another company to its lengthy list of cooperative busi-ness relationships.

A memorandum of understanding with Oregon-based transpor-tation company Omega Morgan will lead to an expansion of services on Tahltan territory in northwestern B.C., says development corpora-tion chief executive of-ficer Garry Merkel.

Omega Morgan spe-cializes in unique trans-portation requirements ranging from moving bridges to highly-sensi-tive computer and other equipment.

“They offer a very specialized service and we think with potential developments in our territory, there’s an op-portunity there,” said Merkel.

“This memorandum is our first stage of our business relationship and as we evolve and grow with it we see it as adding to our suite of services.”

Omega Morgan has yet to work in Tahl-tan territory but it has done one job in the northwest – and that is moving equipment and providing specialized equipment for decom-missioning of sections of Rio Tinto Alcan’s old aluminum smelter at Kitimat.

The memorandum with Omega is the de-velopment corpora-tion’s 29th signing of a business relationship ranging from initial memorandums all the way to full-blown busi-ness partnerships.

“We have a fairly solid reputation with people and with busi-nesses in our territory,” said Merkel. “We want to establish relation-ships with businesses who share our values and goals.”

The Tahltan Nation Development Corpo-ration is the economic development arm of the Tahltan people and its activities are regarded as a demonstration of Tahltan use of its tradi-tional territory.

Headquartered in Dease Lake, the corpo-ration’s list of business relationships includes companies providing drilling services, ones providing food and camp catering services and helicopter services.

Just late last year, the development cor-poration signed an agreement with Pacific Coastal Airlines which it hopes will result in chartered flights into Dease Lake from Van-couver and other parts of the province.

Merkel said the cor-poration’s intent is to smooth out employ-ment, avoiding the boom and bust of tra-ditional economic de-velopment cycles in the region.

CITY COUNCIL has approved a liquor permit for the Falcon Work Camp at the Skeena Industrial Development Park. The 200-400 person camp will house workers who would build a natural gas pipe-line to feed the planned Kitimat LNG plant.

The city did ask for comment beforehand and received a letter from the RCMP stating that police had no concerns with the planned open hours of 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

One letter from a local resident, Kirsten Mc-Cleary, said “workers deserve to have a beer after work if they desire. I have no problem.”

But another writer, Greer Kaiser, opposed the permit approval, saying she’s had bad experiences with passengers at Northwest Regional Airport.

“Every single flight I have been on either com-ing or going to Terrace in the last 2.5 years has been riddled with intoxicated camp workers,” wrote Kai-ser, adding there’s been foul language and misog-yny.

Councillor Sean Bujtas spoke to Kaiser’s con-cerns, saying that the planned open hours of the lounge, means that such unfortunate conflicts wouldn’t arise very often because outgoing flights from the Northwest Regional Airport generally don’t happen during those hours.

Falcon applied to the provincial liquor branch for the permit early last year but the city requires that it be consulted first, leading to its request for comments.

Permit approved

Growth help promotedA MARCH 6-7 conference in Prince Rupert is intended to pro-vide practical advice for small businesses in the area.

The Northwest Growth Confer-ence is framed around the improv-ing regional economy and how lo-cal businesses can take advantage.

One scheduled speaker, Clem-ens Rettich, will also be available for free coaching for registered attendees of the conference being held at the North Coast Meeting

and Convention Centre and the Crest Hotel.

No two businesses, target mar-kets, or industries are the same so being strategic about where mar-keting dollars are spent has real impact on the bottom line is the theme of Rettich’s presentation.

Various Prince Rupert business promotion agencies, including Community Futures of the Pacific Northwest, are hosting the confer-ence.

Community CalendarThe Terrace Standard offers the Community Calendar as a public service to its readers and community organizations. This column is intended for non-pro� t organizations and events without an admission charge. Space permitting, items will run two weeks before each event. Deadline is 5 p.m. Thursdays.

BC Hydro is planning to replace the transmission line between Terrace and Kitimat, which is reaching the end of its useful life.

We have now selected our preferred option for carrying out this project, which is to build a new line along the west side of the Kitimat Valley. This decision was based on environmental, archaeological, design, cost and other studies, as well as feedback received during consultation with First Nations, local governments and interested members of the public.

You are invited to attend a public meeting to find out more about the preferred option and the next steps BC Hydro will take in carrying out this project.

AN ONLINE petition started by the family of a woman murdered here in 1998 opposing parole for her killer has gath-ered more than 1,400 signatures.

Linda LeFranc’s family has also placed hard copy petitions in stores in both Terrace and Kitimat in hopes of preventing Christopher Maurice Alexander from being given day and full parole at a hear-ing scheduled for April.

He has, however, already been given a number of temporary passes since first be-coming eligible follow-ing his murder convic-tion and subsequent life sentence, a circum-stance that has consis-tently been opposed by LeFranc’s family over the years.

Previous applica-tions for parole have been denied by the Na-tional Parole Board and LeFranc’s family has appeared at the hearings and has submitted writ-ten statements opposing the attempts.

Alexander, 17 at the time of the murder,

broke into LeFranc’s Southside townhouse in the early morning hours of Dec. 9, 1998, stab-bing LeFranc, then 36, 83 times with a hunting knife.

LeFranc’s seven-year-old daughter was in the home at the time.

“Our intent is not to exploit or sensational-ize Linda’s death but to justify our extreme con-cern and continued po-sition that Christopher Alexander remains a serious threat to public safety and should never be released,” reads a portion of a statement written by Anita John-stone, a sister to Le-Franc, which is posted as part of the online pe-tition.

Alexander has spent the last years in a Fraser Valley federal facility.

In her statement, Johnstone said experts who have assessed Al-exander indicate he has a moderate risk of reof-fending.

“Confirming our fears, these profession-als reported that even within federal correc-tions facilities, Alex-

ander ‘could not’ be rehabilitated,” Johnston wrote.

“To have lost a loved one through such a vio-lent crime for simply the “thrill of the kill”, is difficult enough, to accept such a criminal being released and liv-ing amongst us, is un-imaginable.”

Alexander was found guilty of LeFranc’s murder and sentenced to life in prison at a trial here in 2002. He was ar-rested in Dec. 1999 af-ter an extensive RCMP investigation that em-ployed undercover po-lice who first gained Al-exander’s confidence in order to get him to talk about LeFranc’s death.

The technique used by RCMP officers is commonly called “Mr. Big” in which an officer poses as the leader of a criminal gang seeking to enlist their suspect but only after that per-son provides details of criminal activity in or-der to demonstrate they should be part of the gang.

It has been heavily criticized by defence

lawyers and the Su-preme Court of Canada in 2014 set new stan-dards by which infor-mation from Mr. Big operations should be considered.

Alexander was origi-nally charged with first degree murder and convicted of the lesser second degree murder charge after 16 hours of deliberation by a jury.

Alexander lived in a neighbouring town-house to LeFranc whose hometown was Kitimat.

In Loving Memory of

Sharon LalondeJune 6, 1943 - February 15, 2014

A year has marked you not here, your presence is felt with never ending loveFor the Angel Wings of our Mother span to us on earth, from the heavens above

A love so pure, A beautiful face, A smile we long to seeYour eyes as green as the Kalamaka waters, looking back at me

We hear your voice and laughter, echo in each and every thoughtFor all the wonderful moments shared, will never be forgot

We look up to the pale blue sky and see our Sleeping Beauty at restShe is peacefully dreaming on that majestic mountain crest

For the many tears of sorrow, longing for another tomorrow, shall turn to endless tears of joy; for all the cherished moments spent with you, are many to last our whole life through

To spread to others the love and joy you gave all the years we sharedIs to honour you and the life you lived, none other can be compared

We dream of you often and see happiness on your faceNot a trace of pain or suffering, nor death in this magical place

For when we too must part with our loved ones, as our Heavenly home awaitsYou will be waiting for us at those pearly gates

To see your smiling face and feel your warm embraceJust to be in the presence of your elegance and grace

You haven’t really left us, we’ll never be apart You have just gone deeper, into the depths of our heart

For a soul with a spirit as wonderful as our Mother, will never really be goneWith all of your children, tucked under your Angel wings again, you live onThere are no words that could ever express how much you are deeply loved and missed. A most kind and gentle soul at rest, A Mother like no other, Grand Mother, Great Grand Mother, Mother In Law, Wife, Sister, Aunt and Friend

■ Lion’s denEMMANUEL ARCENEAUX reaches into the crowd to pick two volunteers for a sit-up off, one of several activities that took place over when members of the BC Lions visited Cassie Hall Feb. 4. Arceneaux travelled with Lions Solomon Elimimian and Courtney Taylor and also stopped at Skeena Middle School.

TAHLTAN CENTRAL Council president Chad Day says that in keep-ing with an agreement signed between it and Imperial Metals last August the council has granted permission for the company to begin releasing effluent into its tailings pond.

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

“The permit has been issued with sever-al conditions including commitments to follow all of the recommenda-tions from last year’s Third Party Review of mine tailings arrange-ments,” the statement

continues.The recently-issued

effluent discharge per-mit has allowed the Imperial-owned Red Chris mine to start test-ing its mill that will ex-tract gold and copper from the site located several hundred kilo-metres northeast of Ter-race. The Tahltan chose a Vancouver consulting company to perform a review of the tailings facility after the Mount Polley mine accident in August at another Im-perial Metals mine in the Cariboo region.

The third party re-view from October 2014 noted loose gla-cial deposits under the tailings facility that needed to be studied to verify its stability.

A government re-view of the Mount Pol-ley mine released ear-lier this month noted glacial till causing the breach of that tailings facility wall. The rec-ommendations called for the modifications of the tailing impound-ment wall in one area as well as installing a drainage blanket how-ever the mines minis-try said last week that no major modifications had been made to the design.

“The 90-day permit does not allow any sur-face discharge of wa-ter or tailings, and no permanent permits will be authorized until we have confirmation that all measures required to protect Tahltan interests

and the environment are in place,” says the Day statement.

The BC mines min-istry also announced this week that they will be asking all mine op-erators in the province to provide informa-tion about the stability of underlying mineral composition on their sites.

The August contract with Imperial men-tioned an impact ben-efit agreement with the mining company that would be negotiated in the future but Day add-ed that the Tahltan have no official agreements yet.

“... We continue dis-cussions and are plan-ning a series of meet-ings with our people,” said the statement.

Tahltan agree to permit

A NUMBER of errors occurred in a photo on Page A1 of the Feb. 4, 2015 issue of The Terrace Stan-dard.

It is Wayland Dennis, not Way-lin. And it is Lila Dennis, not Lyla Dennis. And Precious Dennis is not a boy.

A Feb. 4 story indicated city staffers reduced a request made by

the Skeena Valley Golf and Coun-try Club for money from the com-munity forest. The decision was made by a standalone committee appointed by council.

A Feb. 4 story on pay raises for regional district directors made late last year should have stated the decision was made by the outgoing regional district board.

■ Thousands turn out at ShamesEVEN THOUGH the ski hill had to remain closed on Saturday because many staff were unable to dig themselves out of their houses, the big snow storm made for an epic week-end at Shames Mountain. Bluebird skies, deep powder, and huge crowds – think: this is a picture of half the lift line, with the other half heading towards the parking lot wrapping around the arches and back to the handle tow. The parking lots were completely full, with vehicles parked down to the switchback. Attendance on Sunday was 917 skiers with probably another 100 or so non-skiers, said Shames manager Christian Theberge. “Re-cord revenue day as far as I know.” Family Day on Monday was another banner day with 988 skiers and about 300 non-skiers, tying the previous revenue record with half-price lift tickets and more than doubling last season’s family day. “It was amazing,” he said.

New ATV club gains momentum

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

THE TERRACE ATV & SxS Society takes group rides to many of the special places in the Terrace area. This is the power lines between Kitsumkalum reserve and Remo.

Terrace Peaks seek coachTHE TERRACE Peaks Gymnas-tics Club’s growth has stunted as it searches for a new head coach and other staff after the departure of the club’s long term coach late last year.

Ambra Marak, who had been the club’s head coach for six years, left the Peaks in December and the club has been actively seeking her replace-ment.

But in the meantime, the competi-tive team has for the most part dis-banded, and there are not enough se-nior staff to run programs to capacity.

A small developmental team will still be attending upcoming meets in Kitimat and Smithers – the Terrace meet was cancelled – and there are a handful of competitive gymnasts who still do conditioning training on their own. And the club hasn’t been able to offer as many birthday clubs as they would like – that’s a key source of revenue – and a number of programs that proved popular, specifically the Wednesday programs, which includ-ed adult drop-in and a new acro class.

“It’s been busy,” said gym manag-er Keira Almas. “It’s not like we don’t have the population there. All of the recreational classes that are running are full and there are wait-lists, so there is demand, we just don’t have the staff to open up more classes.”

The club is working on finding more staff and continuing to train and mentor the junior staff coaches. And they have hired someone to work in the office so Almas can spend more time managing the day-to-day opera-tions at the gym.

She said the situation has been tough, but it’s been better than she’d anticipated, with parents for the most part understanding.

“I think they know that what staff

is here is doing the best they can,” she said. “The people that are still here seem to be happy with the programs that are running. So that’s a positive.”

She’s focussed on trying to train up the junior staff, and attract a new head coach.

But finding coaches for a semi-rural gymnastics club isn’t easy.

“It’s challenging because the gym-nastics field itself, every club is look-ing for coaches. So it’s really chal-lenging to find somebody,” she said “We’re a semi-isolated city, other than the head coach position, we’re not looking for a full-time staff mem-ber.”

The head coach position itself is challenging to fill because “you want it to be a good fit.” In a big city, a head coach only needs to think of the com-petitive team – but in a community like Terrace, “you need that coach to be responsible for all of the programs, to be able to coach in rec, to be able to do administrative work, to liaise with members, the community. It takes dif-ferent skills.”

The fact that the group is a non-profit and can’t offer signing bonuses or other perks adds to the challenge.

But she’s hoping that potential coaches will sign up for a training session in Smithers in the coming weeks.

“You don’t have to have a back-ground in gymnastics to teach gym-nastics ... teaching someone how to teach gymnastics, it’s easily taught,” she said. “Having someone with the personality to deal with kids, be good with kids, have fun with kids but still be responsible, that’s sort of more what you need when you’re looking for a coach because that’s a little bit harder to change.”

Kings advance to CIHL finalsTHE TERRACE River Kings are locked in battle with the Williams Lake Stam-peders, facing off in game two of the CIHL finals this weekend in Williams Lake.

The team advanced to the CIHL finals for only the second time in its history after beating Smithers Steelheads in two decisive games at the Terrace Sportsplex two weekends ago.

Fans that braved the snow for Satur-day night’s game were treated to a 5-3 Kings win, forcing game three on Sun-day, where the Kings won 4-3.

The Stamps took the eastern division series over the Quesnel Kangaroos 2-1 with two back-to-back wins over that same weekend.

And Kings Goalie Patrick Leal was voted top goalie for the 2014/15 season.

TERRACE’S NEWLY formed ATV club wants to get the word out and is hosting a series of monthly meetings for anyone interested about learning more about the Terrace ATV & SxS Society.

The society’s Brian Deacon told RidersWest online that he formed the club in part to clear up misconcep-tions of the sport and also to ensure that ATV riders have a unified voice.

“We’re not out there to destroy things,” said Deacon. “We are out there to enjoy nature and to preserve it for our little ones.”

The first meeting is Thursday, Feb. 26 in the trades building of Northwest Community College. And for more on the club, visit the group’s Face-book group and read the full article at www.riderswestmag.com/

A28 www.terracestandard.com SPORTS Wednesday, February 18, 2015 Terrace Standard

I was eastbound on Dunsmuir on my way to Chinatown and the Ho Inn for a bowl of noodles and a plate of duck, barbecued, chopped into bite sized

pieces and served cold, as only the Chinese can do it. Just past Seymour, my curios-ity overcame my incipient appetite caus-ing me to hesitate for a quick rummage through one of the sale bins that appears in front of Vancouver’s used book stores on sunny days. More often than not, this exercise was a waste of energy, but on rare occasions one unearths a treasure.

On that day that particular box was brimming with dross. I was about to walk off when I saw a little nondescript blue vol-ume, cloth bound, and without a cover, ly-ing under a couple of frayed Harlequin Ro-mances. I turned it and read “Thirty-Four Ways to Cast a Fly” etched in silver letters along its spine. Inside the cover the store’s proprietor has scrawled 50¢ in pencil.

I took my find inside and handed over a fifty cent piece then proceeded to a red leather clad booth in the Ho Inn to exam-ine my recent acquisition. I was under the impression that there were three, maybe four, ways to toss a fly to a fish. That there were 34 ways to accomplish this task was nothing short of amazing. I flipped past the frontispiece to a black and white of an angler, presumably the author, standing next to a gentle glide of a coastal stream, wearing hip waders, a bamboo rod lean-

ing against his hip that was held there by his left hand, thoughtfully selecting a fly from what appeared to be a Wheatley fly box. The tangle of foliage in the backdrop was all about the coast. Looking at it, I could smell tidewater.

I set the book out of reach of soy splatters, poured a cup of the ge-neric green tea served by every Chinese res-taurant in Vancouver that somehow seems tastier than any of the high end varieties sold elsewhere, flipped to the forward, and dug into my duck as I read.

“Few people are better equipped than Mr. Lynde to undertake this intricate expo-sition,” wrote the author of the piece. “Any fly fisherman can learn something from this book. The casual fly fisherman or the fisherman of limited experience may find himself transformed into something like an expert. The real gain to us all, though, should be an increased comfort and effec-tiveness on the water, a sense of mastery over the fine implements we use and the adverse elements that often beset us.”

I was struck by the quality of the prose, and not surprised to discover that it had been writ-ten by none other than Roderick Haig-Brown on the 29th day of June in 1967. A glowing en-dorsement by an angler of Haig-Brown’s stature suggested that I had a book that might help solve some of the dif-ficulties I was having with my 15 foot Hardy Salmon rod.

When I returned home, I pored over Lynde’s text. His prose was lucid and simple, as the prose in all prim-

ers should be. Like all skilled pedagogues, Lynde offered no magic formulae. Instead he took care to emphasize the difficulty of casting well and the importance of practis-ing methodically and often if the skills are to be mastered.

34 Ways to Cast a Fly progressed logi-cally from one cast to another, each succes-sive cast presented in such a way as to build upon its predecessor. Thus, Lynde began with a detailed explanation of the overhead and roll casts with a single handed trout rod then, assuming these skills had been

mastered, moved on to Spey casting. From there he moved to derivatives of the over-head cast including the bump cast, a meth-od for making a bass bug hit the surface with a smack; the bowspring cast, where the angler grabs the fly then draws the line back like a string of a bow and propels the fly forward. Snap rolls, curved casts, back-hand casts, steeple casts, and more were all covered thoroughly by Lynde, and each was accompanied by a simple, clear line drawing or diagram to clarify the text.

For the second part of the book, Lynde covered the techniques of casting a double handed rod. It soon became obvious that the author had learned his skills on rods made of greenheart and Tonkin cane and had developed an approach designed to make the mass of those heavy sticks work to the advantage of the caster. I followed Lynde’s instructions, practiced like mad, and was soon executing single and double spey casts out far over the water in tight loops. Whenever I flubbed a cast, I reverted to Lynde’s stance, and the next unfurled ef-fortlessly. A few years after acquiring 34 Ways to Cast a Fly, I asked the late great, Lee Straight, the man who wrote over a million words of outdoor sports for the Vancouver Sun, if he knew Lynde.

He was an extraordinary caster, said Lee, then he proceeded to tell me how John and his wife, Vermita, had toured the prov-ince giving casting exhibitions.

TERRACE, SMITHERS, Kitimat and Prince Rupert swam for provincial quali-fying and the title of Regional Champs late last month at the Terrace Aquatic Centre, with 115 athletes competing in the Regional Championships Swim Meet.

The Prince Rupert Rapids edged out the Kitimat Marlins in a tight battle for club points. Some truly amazing perfor-mances were witnessed as 31 pool records fell over the course of the weekend.

Both in their fourth year of swimming, Bluebacks Renzo Zanardo and Mackenzie Bannister both won their first swimming medals at the meet, a silver and a bronze, respectively.

“It was my first medal and I was happy because I was in Terrace,” said Bannister. “That was special.”

She said the familiar surroundings proved to be a benefit, as was the training that went into preparing for the meet.

“We go in basically knowing what we’re doing,” she said.

Zanardo said what really helped him prepare was swimming in the mornings.

“In swim meets you get up really early in the morning, and if you get used to it then you can just go right on to your race and be fine with it,” he said.

Despite his win in the Terrace pool, Zanardo said he finds it easier to attend meets in other places.

“I get to get used to different pools in-stead of swimming in the same one, and if I just swim in the same one I get over-con-fidence, thinking ‘oh yeah, I’ve got this’ but I actually don’t,” he said.

No stranger to medals, Zanardo has been on the podium in other sports like baseball, soccer, and basketball – “It’s a regular thing” – so what stood out for him at this meet was “probably getting DQ’d (disqualified).”

“I false started so I didn’t get my triple A time,” he said, of his 50-fly heat. “So I’ll be prepared next time.”

The team is heading to Smithers for its next meet, with Bannister saying she’s re-ally close to her AA time and is focussed

on making the provincial camp. Both say they’re going to stay in swimming for a while, with Zanardo saying swimming compliments his other sports and Bannis-ter saying she’s tried lots of other sports, but swimming is the first one that’s stuck.

And Bannister added that the whole team did well. “We have the smallest team,” she said. “So we do good for it.”

Kelowna’s Monster Jam driver Cam McQueen hopes his Northern Nightmare truck will give the Grave Digger bad dreams on February 28.That’s when the World Freestyle Champion will steer his Maple Leaf themed truck into a head-to-head battle at BC Place Stadium with the powerhouse of the circuit. “Vancouver is my home show, I have lots of family and friends planning to attend so I want to do well,” says the determined 36-year-old man.“We built a brand new chassis so I can go bigger in freestyle and be a much better contender in racing.”The car-crushing monster truck action featuring 12 trucks gets under way at 7 p.m. Monster Jam royalty Tom Meents, the 11-time World Champion driver of Max-D; will be in the lineup and Scarlet Bandit returns after a 12-year hiatus.Die-hard fans can enjoy the Party in the Pits pre-show experience from 2 p.m. Regular tickets range from $25 to $50 and some children’s tickets are available for $10 each at Ticketmaster.

The full size truck market is big business for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them. For almost five decades, the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with little chance they will squander that crown soon. In fact, Ford finished 2014 with over 126,000 F-Series sold and that set a new record. RAM was the second best-selling vehicle with more than 88,000 sold. What has been happening, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best-selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity traces back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and transmission advancements. New for the RAM line is a V6 turbocharged diesel in the 1500 or half-ton segment.LooksWhat RAM has been able to do is capture buyer’s imaginations with styling. The big and bold grille is even bigger than last models but has been integrated better into the front of the truck. Depending on the trim the grille finish can be chrome, painted or with a different insert. Be-hind the grille are “active shutters” that close at higher speeds to help send the wind around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic efficiency. There is now a longer side step, which helps reduce buffeting down the side of the trucks, also to aid in fuel economy. One option that makes life easier to live with is the $1,500 air suspension

that lowers for easier entry into the RAM or loading into the bed. This system also automatically lowers at speeds over 100 km/h reducing aerodynamic drag and, yet again, improving fuel econo-my. The opposite is true, at lower speeds and for off-road duties; the air suspension can be raised for better ground clearance. InsideToday’s modern truck is no longer just a vehicle for work; the level of refinement and luxury found in today’s rigs is something to behold. My test unit RAM 1500 LaRAMie Quad Cab 4X4 had a starting price of $51,595 but with a long list of extras from keyless entry and start, to full leather

seats, power moon roof and the larger 8.4-inch uConnect screen, the total came to just over $63,000. Not cheap, but man there is a lot of truck here. The interior is rich looking and feels first rate, from the buttons to the switches and materials covering the cabin. And the room is impressive for all passengers, front and back. In addition to the optional 8.4-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen, there is a standard large 7-inch screen behind the steering wheel for fully customizable instant information readouts. DriveThe biggest change for RAM includes the first diesel engine found in a light duty 1500 pickup truck. This is an Italian designed engine that has been used extensively in Europe in Jeep prod-

ucts like the Grand Cherokee. With 420 lb.-ft. or torque, this new “EcoDiesel” has the same out-put as Ford’s Ecoboost but not the same towing capacity. Rated at 9200 lbs. this truck will be perfect for buyers who want impressive fuel economy and good towing capacity; a balance of usability and thriftiness. This engine has not been rated yet for fuel economy but, thanks to a standard 8-speed automatic transmission, the new EcoDiesel is going to get better numbers than the already class-leading gasoline V6 RAM. Having driven both the Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel and this RAM, I find the gearing and attitude of the RAM much more dynamic and actually inspiring to drive. In real world driving situations, this big luxurious truck can actually return fuel economy of 10L/100km without babying the engine.

VerdictRAM has seen huge sales growth over the last few years due to constant improvements instead of waiting years to update its rigs. It

started with dynamic exterior design, followed by class leading interior, then an 8-speed automatic and now

a Diesel. There is even an off-road ready RAM, just shown in Detroit, due to arrive called the Rebel. The RAM EcoDiesel has been selling very well and Chrysler claims they will put this truck up against the new aluminum F-150 for top dog in the fuel economy race. Good times to be looking for a truck.

By Alexandra Straub

MONTEBELLO, QUEBEC – The 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, Forester and Outback have no problem showing the snow who is the boss.They don’t even break a sweat if you’re com-muting on surfaces that yield minimal trac-tion or when putting the Subaru Symmetrical AWD system through its paces on a winter off-road course.Let’s take a moment to talk about what make’s Subaru’s system so potent in the snow or on slippery surfaces. To start, Subaru designed its AWD system for perfect balance. The boxer engine, transmission, and differen-tials create a symmetrical layout left to right. This increases stability in every situation, as there is less weight transfer from side to side.Also, unlike the competitors, each vehicle is designed from the ground up to have a sym-metrical AWD system as a standard feature. This makes the chassis and powertrain a

harmonious match. Other competitors often start with a 2WD system and add AWD to the same chassis. It’s that kind of symmetry and engineering that instills confidence in Subaru owners.More than 96 percent of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today.The symmetry allows for predictable and stable power delivery to each wheel, which was apparent in my test drive. With the trac-tion control (VDC) on, you might experience a little bit of slippage if you go into a corner too hot.But within moments, you’ll have your back end back where it should be. Yes, it’s a little bit of a killjoy if you’re honing your skills to qualify for a driver’s seat in WRC, but for 99.9 percent of the owners, it’s a saving grace. Subaru’s active systems do their best to keep

the driver and its passengers feeling relaxed and calm behind the wheel. Such was the case as the temperatures in Quebec plum-meted below -15C. The frigid yet abundantly sunny day seemed like a perfect pair for tak-ing the aforementioned Subarus for a test.Starting the day with the XV Crosstrek, which has an MSRP of $24,995, was a treat. This light-on-its-feet crossover has charm and character. Even with the available CVT trans-mission, it’s pleasant to drive and has the ingredients to make it a desirable all-season kind of vehicle.Next came the Forester. At a starting MSRP of $25,995, this five-passenger Subaru has some great qualities. Its high seating position elevates the driver to have a great field of vision and the roomy interior and excellent cargo capacity off 974L (seats up), or 2,115 L

(seats down) sure fits a lot of stuff inside.Lastly, and my favourite of the batch, was the all-new 2015 Outback ($27,995.)Maybe it’s because I love wagons, or the fact that there’s an impressive 1,005 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats (2,075L with them folded), or that you can get it with a 6-speed manual, it’s a very well-balanced vehicle. Not to mention comfortable and quiet too.Both the Forester and Outback have a little something extra, too. The CVT equipped models feature X-Mode, a system that further helps you gain more traction in low traction environments, and comes with hill descent control.All of these great cars come with 220 mm of ground clearance, meaning you can save your money on a snow shovel! Okay, that’s

not entirely true, but that ground clearance allows you to trek deeper off the beaten path if that’s what you’re into. Throughout the day’s activities, whether it was engaging the X-Mode system while stopped in the middle of a snowy incline, or allowing the hill descent control to work its magic descending that same snowy mound, one thing is certain: Subaru builds a strong product.One might argue that they’re a little behind when it comes to styling and aesthetics. But not everyone needs the prettiest SUV on the market or one that is the most tech-savvy when it comes to infotainment.The pillars on which these cars are built are the fundamental blocks that allow their own-ers to put their faith in them and have a blast while doing it.
